Gas-Before, election, covered Republicans regarded Hower as a Lincoln, Roosevelt or Coolidge, but they now see in him a poor creature who has been flattened by a deceptive power in the former Georgia Republic, national committeeman, last week, writing editorially in his paper, the Atlanta Independent. According to Mr. Davis, Hower has ignored the Georgia Mississippi and South Carolina, but does nothing to Creager, in Texas, Slemp in Virginia, Taylor in Tennessee, and Street in Alabama, who play politics along the same line as facing his darkest hour before dawn. All patronage has been turned over to lily-whites and federal officeholders. The Negro has been told by the action of the administration at Washington that he is in charge of the 1932, but wherever he is in charge of party organization he must turn it up to the Kluxes and take a back seat and sit down. The Southern idea prevails, that this is a white man's country and the Negro is simply tolerated."

"SOOPER" DENIES PARHAM IS TO QUIT ACADEMY Gen. Smith Permits West Pointer to Talk for the Press. LOW IN MATH Nineteen Cadets Deficient, Supt. Says. WEST POINT, N. Y.—(Special)—Stories that Cadet Alonzo Parham of Chicago was so deficient in mathematics that he would be sent home at the Christmas exams were inaccurate, the AFRO was told Monday. Captain W. W. Wells, speaking for: Major General Wm. R. Smith, superintendent of the academy, declare that an article printed in the New York World on Sunday, was full of information about the work of a civilian correspondent. Captain Wells said that the World story was not the opinion of any of the academy. Captain Parham said that the sentiment of the academy. For this reason, a century-old rule was broken and Parham permitted to make a statement to the press himself. Parham said: "Published reports that cadets never talked to me or that my relations with them are strained are absolutely invalid. Our orders cannot be issued governing friendships and that such a matter is purely personal. Statements to the effect that cadets have been ordered to study mathematics are false." Since July 1, when I entered, my treatment at the hands of officers and cadets has been fair and never under any circumstances has there been a sign of discrimination of judges. "All the officers are giving me a square deal. I have participated in every activity with other fourth class men from the military and in the military drills have participated in intramural sports—playing baseball, basketball, football and other games. In the football tubs to be used, in the military drills, I have marched with my company and sat in the stands exactly like the other cadets. Deficient in Math. Parham admitted that he was deficient in mathematics was up in the hands exactly like the other cadets. He said: "During the first week I asked for and received extra instruction in mathematics on two occasions, at conferences with the number of other fourth class men, I was pestered for being deficient we were an ordered to attend conferences four times a week from 5:10 p.m. to 6:10 p.m. Three other cadets were in my section. The World's story is very free. The World's Story The story on Sunday, said: "Parham is not very strong in mathematics and the result may be disastrous for the cadets in the simulations. It is not improbable that had he the same help other cadets receive in a friendly manner from upper class who sometimes coach along deficient cadets it is possible he might pass. He will not ask for it and it probably that he would not get it. Yet, despite this seeming antagonism, there is probably not a man in his sympathy of race, who would not shake hands with him as one fellow mortal to another should they meet in the street somewhere outside." Superintendent's Statement General Smith's later statement read: "Farham's academic standing in mathematics has been commented on in the press. While he is deficient in that subject, a student with lower marks than his and at the present time there are ten below him. In Farham's class at present a total of forty-two cadets are deficient in mathematics, while in the third class they are below our required standards. All Not to be Discharged "To predict that any or all these cadets will be discharged this December, we must annually large a number of the deficient cadets make passing marks. Year 140 cadets were examined and only seventy failed to pass and were honoured by the university, only marks show that he is failing to pass by, only a few tenths." LAPLATA, Md.—On the day before he was to be sent to the state penitentiary in Baltimore to serve a sentence, he was brought to Flood Armstrong, 25, of Washington, and Blaine Smith, 18, escaped, from the Charles County jail here, last Wednesday, and toowe a hole in the roof and climbed to the ground while 16 other prisoners, locked in their cells, watched the getaway.

(AMP)—In a recent bulletin issued from its industrial relations department, the Chicago Urban League has this to say reference to employment opportunities for Negroes in Chicago at the present time: In 1928 there were 139 applicants for every 100 available jobs.

We hope that you will pass the word along. Baltimore Widow Weds Frederick Man FREDERICK, Md.—Six persons were granted licenses to wed here recently.

DOCUMENT LONG 6,660 Words Used to Sum Up Year's Work. WASHINGTON. (Special) —President Hoover's first message to the 71st Congress, containing 6,600 words, the longest in many years, made no reference to the Negro. The message was delivered to the Senate and House early Tuesday The President declares maries will be kept in Haiti until the "problem" there is solved. He plans a commission to visit the island if Congress approves. The decline in value of farm property has been arrested and the rate of migration from the farm to the city has been increased. The amendment is far from satisfactory. He does not mention the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, state that all laws are unfit for use. In his conclusion he refers again to his pre-election speeches to open opportunity and "equality of opportunity." More Education The President said in part: "The Constitution requires that the President give the time to give to the Congress information, the state of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such measures he shall judge necessary and expedient, that requirement. I wish to emphasize that during the past year the nation has continued to grow in comfort; we have gained and advanced in comfort; we have gained and advanced in edge; the education of youth has been more widely spread; moral and spiritual forces have been mainstem; peace has become more assured. Commission to Haiti "We still have marines on foreign soil—in Nicaragua, Haiti and China. We still have not wish to be represented abroad in a manner. About 1,600 marines remain in Nicaragua at the urgent request of that Government and the leaders of the country pending the training of a domestic navy insuring tranquility. We have already reduced these forces materially and we are anxious to withdraw them further as the situation warrants. In Haiti we have about 700 marines, but it is a much more difficult problem, the solution of which is still obscure. If Congress approves, I shall dispatch a commission to review and study the matter in order to arrive at some more definite policy than at present. 11 Billion Debt The total amount of indebtedness of the United States countries to the United States now is $299,000.

ENGLISHMAN TO MARRY WEALTHY AFRICAN WIDOW APRIL WEDDING Romance Ripened Dur ing Long Prison Term. LONDON—A romance has just come to light here which is astonishing even without its mixed race character. It was never ago as reported by the Daily Mail, an Englishman named Oscar Slater, and a full-blooded native girl, aged 20, of the Bastio tribe of South Africa, met in Ireland and fell in love with each other. Slater soon after returned to Glasgow, where he was accused of stealing a bag of money from Mary Glychrist. Leaving for America Slater was arrested just as he stepped off the Lusiana, and sent back to Scotland where he was sentenced. COMMITED Two days before the time set for the execution, however, the sentence was commited to imprisonment for life. Slater could not appeal as the Scottish criminal was not guilty. But now the case has been reheard and Slater has been found not guilty. It developed that the maid of the murdered woman had identified another man and that this had not been brought up to the court. But now the man has been held him $30,000 for wrongful imprisonment. In the intervening years the Bauto woman stood steadfast by him refusing to believe him guilty, and coming all the way from South Africa. COMFORTING FAITH "Her faith in me comforted me tremendously." says Slater. "We wrote to each other for many years, but I did not tell her. I went to Peteredham prison. Then throughout long years in prison we wrote, and when I was released we met in Glasgow and became engaged in the marriage may take place in April. "My fancee was born in Basutoland, where her parents, who are wealthy, have plantations. I met her more than twenty years ago when staying in Paris, where we were the same family, and became their stepmother. She was then scarcely twenty years of age and had just finished her education." BASUTOS STRONG. The Basatos are one of the most powerful of South African peoples and although under British protection they have been chief, Mosheh, they defeated both the British and the Boers, their cavalry restitution being among the finest in the world. No white persecution or prospect for minerals in their country. The majority of Basutos hold to their native faith, while many are Christians. Their finance, how- to-come, and how to be converted to the Jewish faith. Cheltenham Lad Takes Life with Shot Gun ONION BRIDGE.

MARINES SENT TO HAITI Students Strike, Editors Jailed as Patriots Protest. NEWS BELATED Advices to AFRO Held Up at Postoffice. Recent advices to the AFRO from the U. S. Marine-controlled Republic of Haiti state that a very noticeable unrest has been created by the October announcement of President Borno, in effect that no presidential election would be held in April, 1930, notwithstanding that his second term as chief executive will be concluded at that time. This arbitrary pronouncement supported U. S. bayonets, was contemptuous violation of the constitutional Haitian constitution as well as of all its American devised successors. 2.000 More Marines The augmenting of the U.S. military forces by two thousand troops with the usual accommodation of two to three months age, may now be readily understood; although at the time of their embarkation there appear to be two thousand students in the military government of such proportions. Dissatisfaction with American tyranny in education has manifested itself in educational policies by more than the two thousand students of the Damien Central School of Agriculture, the School of Applied Sciences, the College of Medicine, the Law and the Girls' Normal School. Parade On Sunday, November 10, a parade was staged at Port-au-Prince by the various striking groups bearing banners with such inscriptions as "Les Estudiants Unis Reclamant Leura Striking students seek their rights." These demonstrations are an outgrowth of protests against the extravagant expenditure of funds drawn from the Haitian government. The students are experts and others connected with the faculty, primarily of the School of Agriculture, the educational welfare of the students being of secondary consideration. An American, Mr. Freeman, is of course, the director of this institution. War on Editors at Cape Haitian a renewal of the war on journalists has been inaugurated. Five editors, Messieurs Keny,resseppees, Fauguer, Augustine, and Emmanuel, imprisoned, along with the manager of the printing plant and two printers.

The two former were released after nine days of solitary confinement. Roumain, president of the League of Young Haitian Attacks, finalized the prisoner months ago was the occasion of a riot in the court room, is still a prisoner as is also Georges Petit of the Journal L'Action. The newly organized League of Criminal Actions is added evidence of the increasing acuteness of anti-American sentiment.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—If Congress passes Bill HR4138, mothers and widows of 3185 unknown World War dead will be enabled to visit U.S. cemeteries in France at government expense. The bill also would remove the limitation to one pilgrimage.

C.—Gearsburgh the United States Military Academy for the treatment accorded Hearst University professor, declared that the withholding of social intercourse "is the method which both of our national training schools have hit the bag" the Negro in his assigned place. Professor Miller said: "The story of young Parham is a repeated tale, told without variation, of every Negro cadet who has entered West Point,中学 of the multitude which, by agreement, withholds all communication or social intercourse, is the most polignant form of mental anguish. The isolation of the Negro cadet reminds us of Dr. Edward Everett Hale's portrayal of 'A Man Without a Country. The conspiracy of the police is the most important any group can exhibit toward an individual. This is the method which both of our national training schools have hit upon to keep the Negro cadet from the North and South are copartners in this sinister covenant. OFFICERS IMPARTIAL "It must be said, however, that all of the colleges in the North, with most of them, exculpate the officers from any participation in an unfriendly attitude. Officers of Southern birth and tradition, vie with their Northern confreres in maintaining a circumspact impartiality." "No other element of our complex citizenry would undergo such insult and contumel the Nation which practiced it or permitted it. But the devotion of the Negro to American institutions is so deeply seated that it can not be ignored any usage, whether harsh and severe. COLONEL YOUNG. "The late Col. Young demonstrated the Negro's patriotic impulse and possibilities. He endured the solition, irony and rebuilf of four years' cadetship at West Point, where he distinguished first lieutenant in the Army; rose by merit to the rank of co-commil served in various forms of duty; and distinguished himself by distinction maintained his own self-respect and won the universal respect and esteem of his superior, co-ordinate and subordinate officers. He by distinction maintained his own nation white and black, military and civil. There was no member of the army who was more spontaneously cheerfully and enthusiastically patriotic." AS EASY TO BECOME GENERAL "Any Negro who wins a commission as first lieutenant of the army by way of the excruciating trials of West Point deserves as much credit as the white cadet who gains unto the rank of general. For the highest test of courage and high many qualities is exhibited in the passive rather than in the active voice." ment is far from satisfactory and this is in part due to the inadequate organization of the agency. Federal Government. "If the citizen who is himself dependent upon some laws for the protection of all the citizens and all the dear, shall insist on selecting the particular laws which he will obey, he undermines his own safety and that of his country. "If the laws may obscure, but it can not conceal, the ugly truth that the lawbreaker, whoever he may be, is the enemy of society. Laws of our laws are made by the people themselves; theirs is the right to work for their repeal; but until repealed it is an equal duty to enforce it and demand their enforcement.

Jackson, "with « true’ vision of the ministry will know that he must preach against such things, with all the passion of a moral physi- cian.” Regarding the laity. Rev. Jackson said he had found ib very diffleuly to. get some men, because of their Telationships in. business, to come out strongly on the side of these re- forms. Wits Press “T want to congratulate, the edi- tors of the religious periodicals and chureh papers on these issues.” said Rev. Jackson. "Nearly all of, then stand four square for the right, and they deserve our united support and encouragement.” "Neither do I discount. the impor- tance of the dally and weekly press, but, the press should keep in mind that large financial returns trons certain. advertisements, and happen- fnes, that. do not make for higher ideats and social uplift do not, ma- terially. help the group. nor, should the Dress of our group present de- grading heppenines that would oth- erwise pass unnoticed.” Opinions Vary In the discussion that follewed the Rev. George Curry said that even were the pavers to discontinue news of 2 sensational nature and carry more news. pertaining to the church activities. it is doubtful whether the ministers would give race papers thelr full support. "What, the public wants is news.” said Dr. Curry, "and iris right that the papers cater, to the pecple.. Public demand makes Ce eee what they are”.

We all have to be the next-door to the scrambling of all in order for the next day, the time is fun. We discovered that the members of the Zo Phangs are very attractive girls, that the Renaissance boasts of a Vitaphone, or whatever you call it, which furnishes the music during intermission, that most all the youngsters from Brooklyn turned out to celebrate, (and they did celebrate!)

Subsequently his activities had been varied at Utopia, where where jobs are now being sold, and efforts being made to build up a health resort for parishioners of the Seventh Day Church. Commissioner Kelly of the Welfare Department shook hands with Elder Humphrey and other men connected with the church, which the investigation center and assured them that he was with them to help in whatever way he could.

Carr, 416 East 165th street, by Judge Grossepole of the United States against Local No. 968 of the International Longshoreman's Union, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Carr, who delegate and business agent of the union, was ousted last year, due, it is charged, to jealousy and prejudice. He had been with the union 28 years, part of which he worked in the waterfront. Once he headed a delegation of colored and white workers to the White House to meet President Coolidge, men in the local about 60 per cent, were white. Carr was in line for a high post in the International, and it is alleged, that it was this that brought about dissensions that led to the arrest of the white men, that the white men generally, never raised the question of color and that he owed his election equally to them. It was a certain clique, that was anouscid, that him because he was colored and acted against him. Justice Cropsey also issued an order for Carr's re-instatement.

FLORIDA CITED Not Only Women but Men are Barred There. NEW YORK.—Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., has written an open letter to the National Woman's Party, which will convene in Washington, their proposed equal rights amendment to the Constitution, for men and women, includes equal rights for colored women with white citizens in the southern states. Copies were sent to Mrs. Clinton, president, and Jane Norman Smith, chairman of the National Council. A deputation from the party will visit President Hoover on the 8th. The letter says in part: "The letter says to ask for his support of the federal equal rights amendment. This amendment has been for several years before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary which has never reported its findings. We have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction." One clause has never received the attention which its extraordinary significance should command throughout the United States." Men Killed in Florida "Throughout the North beginning with the presidential election in November 1920, Colored women were voting rights. In some Southern states, also, some Negro women have voted. But in Florida when a group of duly qualified women attempted to vote, they were opposed to them the polls were shot and killed. In the South "For several million Colored women living in the South, it is important that the public should party to interpret the word 'equal' as applied to them and to their rights under the proposed amendment. Congress and the Legislatures also should know definitely the answers the answerers asked ever insistently, especially in states where Negroes hold the balance of power as in Missouri: "Do you interpret as the words 'men' and 'women' the same right, have equal rights throughout the United States" to mean that black women shall have equal voting rights with white citizens in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and South Carolina. As with New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois? "And if not, what do you expect those words to mean in actual practice if and when the Amendment is ratified?" White Women's Equality "Or is this intended to be solely a white women's equality amendment? Or a Northern women's equality amendment? Interpretation either by the Party or by the highest court, and according to the literal, everyday meaning of the words as they stand, it appears to apply to all women. She specifically it reads like a blanket, equality amendment. "Is this what the Woman's Party means? Why does it not say so? If not why does it not say so? Is it afraid?"

WASHINGTON, D.C.—(CNS.)—According to late advices, from the Gold Coast of Africa, the natives are fast becoming dress conscious. A growing body of women by white and fancy colored shirts; the latter with two detachable collars to match. Union suits, or singles as they are usually are, are in considerable demand. Many of the natives wear sun helmets, while others prefer cheap wool-felt headwear, and others wear the rubber variety. Rubber deteriorates too rapidly in hot climates. Cotton frocks seem to satisfy the women, but the number of "frock ladies" as opposed to "cloth mammies" is increasing. It is a peculiarity of the natives that the women are slower to adopt modern dress than the The former, however, evince a decided interest in umbrellas and parasols, the popular styles having bright colors, whether the cotton or silk ones. Men of import in the tribes and those with any education almost invariably carry black cotton umbrellas with them at all times. LINGOLN "HEDGED" ON SLAVERY QUESTION Rare Letter, Dated 1860, Shows Emancipator Knew How to Play Politics. RACE TALK DENIED "Never Attended a Negro Meeting in My Life." NEW YORK CITY—(CNS)—Abraham Lincoln's opinions on Negroes, slavery and slaveholders are revealed in a letter written up for auction soon in a collection of rare manuscripts belonging to Susie Conway and others at the American Art Galleries. Avonville, New York editor, and dated September 18, 1860, the latter was written just before Lincoln's election when the South was in a turmoil and wild rumors were spreading over the coun- tries the President J. Raymond, his proposed program. No Final Slave Policy Raymond, an ardent Republican and supporter of Lincoln, had heard that the president requested by a Southerner a Mr. Smedes, to print them in his journal, the Mr. Lincoln denied that he was committed to a final policy on slavery and he writes in rep. "I am not pledged to the ultimate extinction of slavery." No Bias Equality "What a very madman your correspondent, Smedes, ls," the letter begged, "the ultimate extinction of slavery; do.s not hold the black man to be the equal of the white, unqualified man; never did stigmatize their white people as immoral and un-Christian; and Mr S. cannot prove one of his assertions." No Negro Meetings Further denying that he had never attended a meeting of Negroes, Mr. Lincoln wrote in reference to his doctor and Selena Douglas: "As to the pitcher bory, it is a forgery out and out. I never made but one speech in Cincinnati, the last speech in the volleyball game, the Joint Debates' between Senator Douglas and myself. I have never yet seen Governor Chase.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1906) Some people are getting to be very fastidious these days: We long ago, a white man who was to be hanged for murder, protested against being in the same gallows with a colored man. And now comes the news that a white man who had been sent to the chain gang in Alabama clicked to the railroad company because he was chained to a Negro. Some people are getting to be very fastidious these days. Not long ago, a white man who was to be hanged for murder, protested against being hanged on the same gallows as the slaved man. And people now knows that a white man who had sent to the chain gang in Alabama, kicked to the railroad company because he was chained to a Negro. Crocodile Tears Waycross, Georgia, colored folk were sad last week because Judge Henry D. Reed and Y.M.C.A. Secretary C. C. Sheed, both white, were leaving for other fields. The public testimonial for these gentlemen took the form of a meeting in which there were solos, resolutions and addresses. The judge wasn't there, but Mrs. Reed was, and the eyes of the good white folks were misty with tears as they contemplated leaving their good friends of color. No crocodile tears, but far greater display of mutual respect and good fellowship were evidenced by debating teams of Lincoln, Pennsylvanian University and Victoria College, white, of New Zealand, who before their debate, sat down to dinner in the Howard High School Wilmington, Delaware.

How difficult it is may be gleaned from that in sixty-five years, no negro has ever reached the rank of general only one the rank of colonel and three the rank of lieutenant officer. Alonzo Parham is the first caddist in West Point since 1886. Only three out of twelve colored West Pointers graduated. and one of the three who entered the Annapolis Naval Academy recently graduated. 8 YER. Alonzo Parham is the first cadet in West Point since 1886. Only three out of twelve colored West Pointers graduated, and none of the three who entered the Annapolis Naval Academy remained there longer than a year. Not counting chaplains, they remain one commissioned officer in the regular army; there are none in the navy. Facing these discouraging facts, no one can blame Lieutenant Colonel John E. Green, who was retired at his own request, November 15, after thirty years of service in which he rose from the ranks. To be sure he is only fifty-one, but he prefers to leave the company of smokers, while he is in his prime, before their hatreds and insults make him a broken old man, he does well. Neither his race nor his country has a right to demand the matrycdom imposed by the army of Uncle Sam upon Negro officers.

To be sure he is only a minor but, if he prefers to leave the company of snobs, while he is in his prime, before his hatred and insults make him a broken old man, he does well. Whether his race nor his country has a right to demand the mutilation imposed by the army of Uncle Sam upon Negro officers. Morgan's $150,000 Gift The fears of President John O. Spencer that the new $125,000 science hall of Morgan College, which was given by the state, might prove too small, just as the Carnegie Hall built several years ago has become too camped for class room space are not realized. President Spencer's appeal to the General Education Board was answered with a gift of $50,000, making the science hall larger. Morgan College last week ended in a blaze of glory, its $400,000 campaign. Of this amount, colored alumni and friends paid in $164,000. The fears of President John O.

The response of the people, and of the General Education Board ought to convince Morgan College trustees that they have laid foundations upon which they should invite the state and philanthropy in build in still larger measure if the college is to serve this community properly. President Spencer's success in New York ought to hearten him to set up a tent at Annapolis and camp there until Governor Ritchie and the legislature agree to give to Morgan College an appropriation which will enable it to do for Negroes what the University of Maryland does for other clients. This is a task to which Morgan must set its face and not turn back. President Spencer's success in New York ought to hearten him to set up a tent at Amphipolis and camp there until November.

The Oblate Sisters A cabibegam from the Pope, a mass in the Baltimore cathedral at noon at which His Grace Archbishop Michael pontificated, and the attendance of leading Catholic dignitaries from throughout the diocese drew public attention on Friday to the 100th anniversary of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the only race sisterhood in the church. A cabigram from the Pope, a mass in the Baltimore cathedral at noon at which His Grace Archbishop Michael J. Curley pontificated, and the attendance of leading Catholic dignitaries from throughout the diocese drew public attention last Sunday to the 100th anniversary of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the only race sisterhood in the United States. Dr. Guilford, white, professor of history at the Catholic University in his sermon at the cathedral, said: "The Oblate Sisters are truly children of Divine Providence. Their beginning came from something higher than human planning. They were founded with practically nothing of this world's resources. They have increased and multiplied all through these years without much material aid. They have come courageously through the Almighty God, them with their word unblemished and their courage uninsulted. "By the grace of God, throughout these hundred years they have achieved remarkable progress for the children of their race, and today, at the end of this first centenary, they are one of Catholic Baltimore's proudest treasures. They have written by their own acclamation of their hundreds years heroic pages in the history of Catholic education in the United States." With "record unblemished" and "courage unshaken," as Dr. Guilday says, the four founders have, in one hundred years, become 170, of which 40 are in the mother house in Baltimore. Out of a two-story house on St. Mary's street have come fifteen schools in cities of the south and in Cuba. But after all the greatest lesson the country gets from the Oblate Sisters is the eagerness of Negro Catholics to do something for themselves, and the willingness of white Catholics to assist them in doing it. To many hope for an increasingly large Negro Catholic priesthood, the presence of Father Charles R. Uncles, professor of Epiphany College and one of the few colored priests in the country, was both an encouragement and a benediction. Baltimore can be proud of itself, if it will give the American church an example of Negro leadership that will impress the country.

I can defy the accusing finger of graft and corruption, and there are many other Negro Republican leaders who can do likewise."

Greenville, S.C. Race Artists May Shun Spirituals at their Peril, says D.C. Composer. To the Editor: Your current editorial on "Marian Anderson" is the most honest and most constructive reviews on race artists and their art in music that I have ever read, even surpassing all our own critics as such in its complete analysis and timeiness. It was hard enough to include all music in a group. I have just finished reading local press comments by white critics on the Roland Hayes recital of a few days ago, and proudly as a Negro, but as one who has "become firmly established in the list of favorite artists for Washington concert audiences," his comment on one critic struck me very forcefully: "Fully beautiful and significant they are (speaking of his spirituals), when he offers them, devoutly, complete in their richness and beauty," a messenger of His People to a Sympathetic World." "Thus only through the medium of our spirituals may we find, it seems, that we can live our lives with the seem to love our own music even better than we ourselves do because the spirituals are the spontaneous expression of the soul of a race, although despised and rejected by our universal language, and scribes no other line!" Both Hayes and Robeson are gaining undying fame through their ability to interpret them better than others. They can and do best work with teachers, especially with emotional thicklings thousands upon thousands year in and year out, and after all is said and done, this is the real test of a true artist—the ability to touch the hearts of his audience. Shun the spirits of water! You please, race artists, and work with water! Waterloo! Failed to interpret them properly (for if you haven't got the spark in your soul, you can't do it) and you will meet a worse fate! And if one can't interpret one own music, how can one interpret music of forever? Your editorial closes with a most timely suggestion to all of our vocalists and instrumentalists. i.e. "experience, study, culture, suffering are teachers ... now music, the music of the audience by means of the singing voice," and, may we add, through any other medium.

The Write: Agrees with the Proofreader that the writer's title for Any Part of Proper Names is Confusion, and Unworkable. To the Editor: As a means of utilizing the experience of the proofreader in "The Proofreader Talks," I continue the discussion of capitalization, who, what and why, good-natured as I hope it will be taken. The Southern Railway System has a system of automatic signals throughout its system. "System" is used three times here—a common-noun—but it there not reason for capitalizing "System" when it is the particular name of a great Southern railroad. Another: "The Pennsylvania Railroad winds and burrows through tunnels; the railroad first the 'railroad' is a part of the name of a well-known corporation. Would Pennsylvania of itself necessarily the railroad which nous freight than any other railroad?" And take Dunbar Hi School. Suppose we just say "Dunbar" or "Dunbar Hi School" just as well be Dunbar Theatre or Dunbar Poolroom? If so, then capitalizing serves as a distinction or classification of a particular person, place or thing. And here: Suppose a boy's name is "Edgar," and a dog's name is "Rover." Would it be wise to suppose an animal's name with a small "A" and the boy's with a capital "E"? Could not "Strongheart," the dog, be biled on the same circular with "Al Jolson," the jazz singer, to tell you it's almost a matter of what depends largely upon what you wants to emphasize. And this time with three other examples and hope that the proofreader will be amused at the flexibility of the English language: The Write: Agrees with the Proofreader that the "Down" Style for Any Part of Proper Names is Confusing; and Unworkable. To the Editor: As a means of utilizing the experience of the prowler, "The Proofreader Talks."

The particular name of a great Southern carrier? And another: "The Pennsylvania Railroad winds and burrows through tunnels; the railroad even hugging the mountain side." In this case the first "railroad" is a part of the railroad of a well-known corporation. Would "Pennsylvania of itself mean necessarily the railroad that hauls more freight than any other railroad?" And take Dunbar Hi School. Suppose we just say "Dunbar." Could it not just be a Dunbar Cafe, Dunbar Theatre or a university Poolroom?

Would it be wise to spell the lower animal's name "A" and the boy's with a caped "E"? Could it not "stronghearted" be billed on the same circus jacket? Jolson, the jazz singer? I tell it is almost a matter of choice and it depends largely upon what one wants to emphasize. I conclude for this time with three examples and hope to face over them. I will be amused at the ability of the English language: an inpatient hospital service appreciated. Here is an adjective used as a proper noun—"Provident", and by spelling "hospital" with a capital "H" you change the meaning almost entirely. One means economical care for the other, and the other would mean the particular service of Baltimore's Negro hospital is appreciated. And lastly Morgan College is perhaps the most noted university in the state." "Morgan College is perhaps the most noted university in the state."

Says: "Despite all of our violent protestations, churches are becoming more distinctively divided on lines of race, separate schools are moving northwards, jim-crow cars are rumbling through the land, city residential areas are becoming more and more sharply set apart." THE SUBTLETIES OF SEGREGATION BY KELLY MILLER Racial segregation is the one persistent, dominant—or perhaps better still predominant—trait of the white man's mind. It takes on different forms of manifestation according to time, place and circumstances, the same separation being carried out in separate churches, schools, cars, residential areas, and in his own circle of social and pleasurable intercourse. Race leaders of excitable temperament are seized with hysteria upon the appearance of each fresh mode of manifestation in the community, but outburst has little or no effect upon its onward sweep. Despite all of our violent protestations, churches are becoming more distinctively divided on lines of race, separate schools, moving, moving, moving, cars, camming through the land, city residential areas are being more sharply set apart. There seems to be no power at our disposal by which we can prevent its stubborn and persistent operation. We may indeed hinder and halt its form by appeal to consent to change, but it may materially affect its effect. Appeals to Christianity, democracy and enlightened self-interest of the white race seem to have little or no effect upon its determined purpose. These facts are plainly patent to anyone who will divest himself of passion long enough to look around It would indeed be an engaging essay to undertake a rational analysis of the situation, and determine, if possible, the deepest will for which there seems to be no cure; and also to seek modes of relief, in default of permanent remedy. But this is not my present purpose, but rather to point some of the difficulties of the segregative tendencies of the segregative tendencies. The Offset of Philanthropy. The universal method of the philanthropists and well disposed white friends is to aid and encourage the Negro in building up his own separate institutions so as to make him a member of the white community and to relieve white institutions of the intrusion of black association. Perhaps the most perfect pattern of this philosophy is found in the Young Men's Christian Association type of philanthropy. Recognizing the inevitable, buildings and facilities are provided for the assessment of conscience for keeping Negroes out of white associations. The scheme has worked so perfectly that today, a Negro in New York, Philadelphia, Washington or Chicago would hardly dare dream of seeking full membership in a white association of this type of secession that might be called the philanthropic offset. Without any ethical pretensions, but on the basis of profit only, the theater management has imitated the same method. Hands-on appraisal of the Negro neighborhoods, under the management of Negroes. The same plays are placed on the bills that appear in the play houses for white patrons only. The reserve understanding of the Negroes was maintained with the convenences provided for them, and will not poach on the white preserves. The trick works. I used to go to the theatre every week as part of my education, when there was no hard and fast racial distinction among the houses. Within recent years no self-respecting colored person can go to any theater except those which have been provided for his exclusive entertainment. I have been greatly amused by our inconsistency. A little comedy makes the tragedies of life a little less tragic. It is absolutely impossible for any Negro to be consistent. A Negro school is against segregation in schools, a Negro preacher declaiming against racial churches, a Negro insurance agent denouncing separate race enterprises, a Negro condemning residential segregation in the Rockefeller Dunbar Apartment, in the Rockefeller Dunbar Apartment, would make the Gods laugh. Mr. Rockefeller recently built a magnificent apartment house for Negroes in the city, which has its most satisfied and enthusiastic tenants are some of the most bitter and outspoken declamants against the racism of the situation has dulled their sense of humor. I am not now in a mood of praising or blaming, commending or condemning, but an attitude of a lamentable and pathetic situation. Right-Hand Welcomes; Left-Hand Repels. The most recent form in which we observe the operation of the subtleties of the spirit of segregation is seen in the business world. Those Negro communities, are now making such business establishments more enticing and attractive. In several cities they have agreed to employ Negro employees in Negro communities. We learn of such movements in Chicago, New York, Detroit and Washington. Synchronous with this movement, the more fashionable and fastidious houses in the business centers of Chicago and New York, the merchants coming together and deciding among themselves which one wili and which will not encourage Negro patronage. The Negro stands distraught between two opposing tendencies of lought: "Whether its nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or take up arms against a sea of trouble, and by opposing end them." Africans Say: "Africans have much in common with us as wit and wisdom in the past, but now in time for us to get away from the notion that they are in an inferior and barbaric state. In more than one sense, Africans and whites are more barbaric than they."—C. J. BENDER One sharp cutlass will clean a whole field Chips from the Quarry The Proofreader Talks. More about proper nouns. Correct again, the name, "Dunbun High School." Concededly we have here a name. But are all three of the words a part of the name, or merely the first one or the first two? The textbooks which purpose to teach newspaper material most of them—say that the "word form the form of the organization," in such cases, if it occurs at the end, should NOT be capitalized. Hence, according to that rule, word "school" is shown as the printers that is, should be begin with a lower case (small) letter. low case. This would imply that "school" is not a part of the name, and since the title refers to "the word (singular) denoting the form," etc., the status of the word "high" is left in doubt. Again, this rule would imply that in such a name as "Young Men's Christian Association," the last word (presumably denoting the "form of the organization") is not impart our initials for it should be Y.M.C. More curious still; if the order of the words were changed to read "the association of Christian 'Young Men'," the word "Association" would then part of the name, and be capitalized. Under this rule such examples as these are given: Second Baptist church, Pennsylvania; Second Baptist gan college; the same print may say DO NOT capitalize the common noun in such cases as; Chicago river, Rocky mountains; but if the so-called "common noun" precedes the "geographical name," as Lake Eden, or Gulf of Mexico, it is to For a while, many newspapers undertook to follow this style, but it developed so many mistakes, in particular, that it has been practically abandoned—except by the few papers that were longest adopting it. Indeed, in the matter of style, in writing and printing—so much so, that carefully fit into the description that the writer's grandmother used to give of an old sow—you had to pull her ears off to get her up to the trough, then pull her tail off to However, as has been stated, few newspapers, and none of the better class, are in actual proper names, except that some do not capitalize street avenue, hotel, theater and a few other words, when used as parts of words. There is a certain plausibility in making these exceptions, yet this plausibility will not stand close examination—as will be shown. Who Does the Work? Wherever extreme muscular effort is required in southeast Texas you are pretty sure to see a Negro on the job. Ten to eightteen hours a day in that heat, and every day, it takes 'miggers' to do the work of compressing the cotton compressing plant on the Beaumont docks where bales are squeezed to half their former bulk for convenience in shipping. The amount of physical energy is enormous on these cotton compress jobs. Here under the roof of a long low building a dozen migrants work the last 500-pound bales about in the intense heat of the escaping steam. A white foreman operates the controls of the steam compress plant. Negroes on the docks an upper plate by steam pressure. Each man has his task, and it is rush work, continued ten to eightteen hours a day during the three months of the compressing The Negro workers in the city, the young men, "they have to be. One might have been in his forties seem pre-emptively old from the strain. It is a terrific pace. They didn't work so fast in the race. They didn't work in the race. To Prevent Colds Already many people have suffered wretchedly from severe colds. Many of these early fall colds can be brought begin in the stomach, especially when an acid condition of the stomach prevails. To contract this condition of the stomach many doctors have been prescribing with increasing success sodas. While this simple treatment is a preventive rather than a cure the combination is said to be very favorable in disabling cough. Many people adults consist of the juice of half a lemon and a teaspoonful of soda in a glass of water Do not add any sugar as that defeats the purpose of soda. Every half hour until three doses have been taken. Soda alone, half a teaspoonful in a half glass of water will help to check a cold in the early stages. The Pathfinder. New School Board Service.

CHIPS, CHIPS, QUARRY— Tom Heflin's Whiskey. "Nigger Congressman Gets Back at Heflin" is a this week's headline in the Shawnee News. Looks like Heflin's son is trying to help Heflin to get it back and it appears as though the "NIGGER" Congressman will have plenty of time to eat in Washington while Papa Heflin is looking after the dirt in his own family. Webster says that a "nigger" is a low-down trifling person because News might little story about Tom Heflin's "nigger" son. —Okl.homa Black Dispatch The Dirty Cuss: Sentence of one hour in the small prisoners' cage in the corner of the federal marshal's office was imposed on Mrs. Ossie Branch, 25, near Moscow, Tenn., for violation of the national prohibition act.

Kicks for Prayers RICKS FOR I never see a hypothetical Nordic pray, except feel like giving him a swift to be himself. He knows that instead of "our" Father, he should always say "mur" Father.

Every insurgent let me be: Make me more daring than devout; From sleek contentment keep me free; And fill me with a bouryant doubt. Open my eyes to visions girl With beauty, and with wonder lit; But let me always see the dirt, And all that spawn and die in it.

NONE Hoover's Step Towards Communism. There is nothing revolutionary about it, but. President Hoover advocated policy that all the reserve money in the country be close to provide wages to the unemployed during the financial crisis, ought to make the most disheveled Communist jump in glee. What is saying to the railroads, the banks, the municipalities, is merely what Communists would say. If in an event "what you have accumulated from your life so shell out no hard will be idle and no moustache." Just a few years ago, a book market debacle like the recent would have set every captain of the dishevelled boarding his cash until such time thought it would be to his advantage but put it out. It did not matter that the workers starved, the philosopher was set, everybody looked for the Devil take the hindmost. In fact, what Hoover is asking is that the resources of the country be distributed among the workers, and that the whole population be regarded as one family—and that is about all the Communists ask, leaving out the ravings and the frills.

Don't Rave; Meet this Competition. Hotel men and managers meeting last week in Memphis, Tenn., are in small hotels should be relied on white waitresses, declared that the latter have become more concerned and attentive than the catered man. Next to the quality of the food and the excellence of hotel equipment, the spirit and quality of the men are the most important part in attracting guests to this or that hotel. It is obvious that manager will be more efficient service to "well" the guests. If this criticism is true it is vitally important, not only to the group that it be corrected. Modern hotel management has done away with the old-time subservient courtesies and supplanted them with the scientific study of human needs. Negro waiters and hotel employees must understand that waiting is more than carryving a tray it is a vocation. The waiter must that of other trades and even professions, and that it won't hurt to read a book new and then on the subject. This is what the waiters and waitresses do. The hotel business is one of the five biggest in the country and employs directly and indirectly more people than many of the other businesses afford from a economical standpoint to lose out in it. This is not only to waiters, but to preachers, doctors, lawyers and business men in particular, for it does not matter if it does the waiter himself. The Men Who Hold Back the Line. While sports writers and staff artists are still compelled to us most of their space to land the ball, they are still playing games, there is a growing tendency to pay more attention to the important work of the men who hold the line. The fact is, in life, as well as in sports, there would be far brilliant runs and spectacular heroes, if some men did not hold back the line of opponents. But, strangely enough, neither in sports writers nor in string players in itself has the work been generous in paging triumph to the men who absorb the show of the battle and make way to the hero to do his work. Not that we should not have heroes and supermen, but a wider distribution of human plaudits to those who deserve them, as well as a wider distribution of human happiness to those who help produce it, would help promote teamwork and create better human relations. Helping Us to Get into the Air. The efforts of a group of Baltimore young business, professional and mechanically minded men establish a school, called Baltimore, to support a man and woman in the city, and the country, for that matter. Baltimore, rapidly becoming an important aviation center of the country, would be a place to teach the nation a flying school for Negro youth. To Baltimore reams, at least, this should be matter of personal importance and community pride. It would be a bad idea every day, every church, and every social and civic club should devote a special day to a big fund for this project, and help put young colored Baltimore on It might also be suggested that the national group of Eks must take other organization mitigate by making a permanent place to make the Polo or some other uncharted section the world.

Burroughs C.A.N.P. By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS By MARVIN A. NOT CALLED to Preachers are Not Called to Preachers are Not Called to Do Everything. Dumb Deacons. Gospel Hoboes. Called to Preach. Preachers, as a class, are just about as human as men in other character-building professions. Some of them get as much pay; many of them get more dissecting and analyzing. The best ones never get what they deserve and the crooked ones get away with too much. The faternity of the clergy gets more responsible position than any other class of men. They should, therefore, be cleaner in character, more unselfish in purpose, qualified training, progressive in social-social training, devout in heart, and not lazy. Fill Minds First Modern standards and conditions require that ministers fill their minds before they open their mou.hs. The man cannot see the light, nor not going to the blind lead them. Ministers of today have: super-human tasks to perform and they must not only be called of God and then trained in theology, but they must have special training and administratively, church, work Preach First Their first duty, however, is to preach the gospel. To make their work effective, they must know how to develop a program of Christian service. They must be gospel preachers and, at the same time, gospel farmers. They must plant and cultivate the crop. It requires intelligence, technical training, concession, industry, love, sanctified common sense, and vision to do Called to Preach Character is the first qualification, without that the minister is a menace. We have thousands of men who say that Ge called them to preach. Well, we will have to take their word for it since it is Ge called, but since the churches must have prepared men, it might be their business to call the "called" to prepare. Gospel Hoboes The early ministers among Negroes had the spirit which was a fine sub-culture. They were marvelous men. "Some of them are still going on gloriously, but they are large army of young gospel hoboes who are large lung power. Instead of going to school they make a bee-line for the puilt and wade around misrepresenting the race. Laymen In this day when laymen are intelligent it is only fair and sensible to teach them the rules of the church. It develops them and enriches the church. If the preacher makes a work to do the preachers would not have so much trouble. Laymen have to have some work to do or certainly will work on the preacher. Dumb Deacons Of course, it is not the layman's business to run the church, but it is. We are talking about training—that the deacons and trustees need training as well as the preachers. Dumb deacons have gone out of it to understand and understand cannot be trusted. Many of our preachers like to be the whole show in their churches. They do everything from raising the kind of usurpation that will result in bad management and the reason why churches run down on the minister or run the minister down. The fact of the matter is that when it comes to the work that is done by the pastor, the average church gets a great deal more than it pays the preacher's fault. In too many of our churches the preacher is the lawyer, doctor, real estate teacher, teacher, editor, social worker, taxi driver, archbishop, minister, archbishop, and preacher—thirteen in one. He as consulted about everything and tried to dabble in everything. A lack of all trades in the pulpit is usually a "backlog." Sensible Preacher The sensible preacher preaches the gospel and directs the church program in which all deacons, trustees, and members share with him in a large way, all the deacons, all the men, all the children a little time to study, visit shut-in, conduct marriages, bury the dead, direct the general work of the church and create the atmosphere in which worship takes place. The right kind of pastor know how to make the people work while he steers the ship.

PLOT IS HOARY B5 FRANK BYRD NEW YORK.—"Malinda," a drama of the South and Herman, written by Dennis Donoghue and staged and presented by Kathleen Kirkwood of the Triangle Theatre in Greenwich Village, made its debut Monday night at Lincoln Theatre. From a remark dropped by Wallace Thurman months ago when the piece first went into rehearsal. I expected nothing too grand, yet, on the other hand, because of the reputation of Miss Kirkwood, I expected nothing too awful; but "Malinda" is among the poorest of the cast. I see it seems incredible that such a script could find a backer. If Mr. Donoghue, who I understand, has no ideal ideas, he doesn't believe in using them in his plays. Believe not or not the story opens on a plantation, moves to a harlem, and then to a backyard. The same hackneyed, worked-over and interesting story that Negroes have long since ceased to enjoy, and about Nordics, themselves are grow- Following on the heels of "Harlem," which portrays a rent party to perfection, and "Hot Chocolates" that really puts on the case, the idea may be the most captivating sources of Mr. Donoghue's material, are really too evident. Play Amateurish As for the actors themselves, some gave creditable performances, others have promise, some were simply shy and sible. Unfortunately, one of the comic leads was given to the poorest actor. I could not locate his name, but he was the discou in the first act, a gaucher and tout in the second, and a revenue officer in the third, he consistently overacted and gave to the audience. Edward Punch, Bee Freeman, Mercedes Gilbert and Albert Chester, seasoned performers, did well by having Richardson, Richardson, youngsters in the profession, who took the leads, showed ability. Mr. Richardson is without question a hansonous man, but he have been, Surrounded by so many hard, ugly types, he quite bows you over. The third act is the life saver.

A little remodeling, a little paint, improved lighting effect, and beautifying things, this, of few colored theatres that you visit where you find the seats in good order. Why? Because the manager does not know or care; all he is looking for is other theatres the seats are inspected after each performance, while in the majority of the race theatres you will find a back broken, an arm off, or a leg broken. The manager sold you this seat, but A tryout theatre, where all shows would open, and be censored by thoroughly competent showmen, before they were booed over the cuticle, material, and better and more modern scripts, (no two shows doing the same thing), would create more interest.

Recital Singer Sets Record with Three Programs Within Month NEW YORK--Paul Robeson, with his gifted accompanist, Lawrence Brown, gave another successful recollection of the Town Hall Sunday afternoon. In filling three such large halls in the same city within less than a month Robeson has set a record for the audience, a most appreciative one, demanded encore after encore and finally left with reluctance "He's the greatest living singer," Robeson said, "bouting for 'Water Boy,' having apparently come in late, and not knowing that it had been already been given as an encore in the first group." The program included eight arrangements by Harry Burleigh and by Lawrence Brown with "Deep River," by Burleigh, and "Lil David" by Lawrence Brown, the great favorites. "Who's Been Here?" newly arranged Negro nursery rhyme by Lawrence Brown, was well received, and Mr. Brown was himself warmly applauded. Robeson's singing was most remarkable, and one listening carefully heard a chorus. If not in volume of sound at least in richness, color and variety of tone His voice has such death mellowness, strength, and amplitude that it is possible to hear alone that is possible ordinarily only for a combination of voices.

Friend of Ramsay McDonald, and Still Wears Dinner Suit Bought in School. NEW YORK—(GNS)—Paul Robeson, athlete-actor-singer, who originally learned the spirituals to sing at parties, a close friendship with Great Britain's Ramsay MacDonald, it has been learned. Dening Seynour, New York columnist, writing of Mr. Robeson, Says: "Twice in a recent week Robeson packed Carnegie Hall with New Yorkers who came to hear him sing Negro spirituals, and filling Carnegie Hall twice a week in a visit to the African-American Felletz. "As he came out for the first time upon the stage in front of the great auditorium, he remembered a night when he came to the ruests, place in the world. That was years ago, when Robeson, as a youngster, came over from his New Jersey home and stood in the Rehmannoff gallery to hear the quartet play. 31 Years Old "Today he is to plush to go on his acting, because his first ambition is to interpret Negro culture. "Harlan likes to tell how close the same dinner suit he had with Robeson and Great Britain's Ramsay MacDonald, and how he still wears recitals the same dinner suit he had with Robeson. "But Robeson's story of himself is of more serious things. At 21 he was so race conscious that he spurned a chance to play O'Neill. He didn't like it in picture of the Negro, but the stage kept knocking until it lured him from the law. Needed Money "Because he needed money, Paul took a role in Vocaloid, but he joined a Negro quartet in Shuffle Along. Harlem's Hero "It is easy to understand why Robeson is the greatest of Harlem's heroes. A Black Knight whom New York's Renaissance author than a Lindbergh, and whom men and women and children of Harlem swarm around whenever he is called in, for instance." "For Robeson is several things that most any youngster of his race would like to be. He is a notable singer, as his current popularity in reels here is. Robeson is the foremost of his race. He is a graduate of Rutgers College and Columbia Law School. He is a Phil Heta professor."

The picture shown was taken in a vertised extensively, and of course, the house was packed, with a spikeling of white people here and there. The picture is undoubtedly the best that was ever written. It pictures the Negro as the lowest and most important being on God's green earth, and it puts the Negro to shame in and it was designed for that purpose. It burlesques our presachers to the very lowest and also our religion. It is a shame on the race and I think such great people should be and it is intelligent ministers of the country should condemn it vigorously. When the show was ever, I knew that out of the Negroes bowed their heads in shame as they filed out of the theater and all you could hear was that it was "rotten," and "ain't that a crime."

Nothing had been said to her that was in the least encouraging. Nothing led her to believe that the manager would put her to work. She felt that if she did not get some opportunity to join "Shu'fle Along" that the only thing left to do was to join another "tab" show. How she dreaded the prospect of it! But the Fair- godmother who seemed to be guiding the destiny of this pretty brown Cinderella kept whispering to her: "Come. Josephine, don't be a quitter ... ambition should be made of sterner stuff!" Once more Jo wended her way to the stage door. Her heart beat wildly beneath her little silk blouse where she was told that the director wanted to see her. Too Small "Listen to me," he began sternly, "there is nothing I can do for you. The fact is that you are too small, your figure is too immature. It is a game for you to keep coming back here and spending all the time you might better be putting in toward A flood of tears came into Josephine's eyes. She did not know she was crying. She was too much engrossed with the various emotions which swept over her entire being than to be conscious of her appointment had been plunged into her heart. Her physical weakness, the price Jo had been paying the piper fo, the past few weeks of eatless days and sleepless nights, suddenly began to assert herself. She felt terribly faint. Will power she paired herself together, will power she paired herself, which was even surprising to herself she said: "Won't you let me dance for you? Perhaps you will change your mind!" Come in Tomorrow As soon as she had spoken, Josephine Bake regrettered her words. How could she dance in her weakened condition? How could she dance in her broken arm? The director mused a moment. It seemed an eternity before he replied: "Come in to morrow!" It was at least a straw to catch at. Something at Like a Lamp. Like a Lamp. This is broken upon a wide and rocky shore, the flood of disappointment subsided. She would see what morrow would bring forth. At least she could rest for the night. The next day Josephine saw the director. All the anticipation of a hard audition was at once blasted when the director said to her as soon as she entered. All right. I will take you on!" Assigned to Chorus Josephine did not have any illusion as to what her work would be. She was assigned to the chorus of the road company of "Snuffle Along." How thankful she was. Herewas an opportunity to dance as she danced before! For six months the show trouped from city to city. The public hailed it as no group of colored entertainers who had been so bold for the little brown-skin Jo Baker every day had its furries. The routines of the chorus, even though they were done mechanically, were new daily adventures for her. She learned so much from the girls she bites and from the girls who danced above, side in the "line." She developed a freedom of motion . . . a certain abandon which characterized her work. Critics from great newspapers commented that she was not mentioned in the billing and had not distinct part to play. But the way she danced was distinctive . . . and that is what made the critics give her a few limbs here and there . . . 'Make Her'. Generally her good-fellowship with the members of the company led her to be more reserved, for the other girls were terrific jealous of her . . . not her work! Most of the boys to the show play the role of the attention to the it require! a great deal of diplomacy to fight them off. on her genuine way of speaking Jo Baker told a Paris reporter that there is no phrase in the language so common, the phrase in English . . . or, more exactly, in American, 'All the boys . . . or practically all of them who were with me on the show tried to 'Make Me the greatest athlete' which was paid to her she appreciates more now than she did then. 4. Principal It was not until "Shuffle Along" got to Brooklyn that the managers of the production saw the possibilities in Josephine Baker's talent. She was surprised one day to find outside the theatre her name billed with the im- Too Small important performers. At last she was a principal! At last her skill and personality were asserting themselves. Before telling of her talent, Baker gave when a noted Broadway producer saw her dancing in "Shuffle Aloe." during the Brooklyn engagement, it is interesting to note some of the impressions which Miss Baker gave this evening when she talked about the show. Greatest Musical Comedy "Shuffle Along," Miss Baker told me, "was the first and greatest musical comedy ever presented with colored performers in a downtown house. There were three acts, each one crammed full of talented skits and individual performances. The chorus given to the world some of its finest colored stars. The dancing boys, too, were far above any such group of dancers who have since appeared two Norse entertainments, the Miller and Lyles, Sissie and Blake . . . but more than anything else, I was thrilled by the work of Edith Spencer and Lottie Gee who sah beautifully. "I shall never forget Edit; and Lotte . . . they were simply wonderful! I do not think that there will ever again be such a fine show and I will never forget boys who fought so gallantly to win recognition in it . . . and so keep it playing when the box-office receipts looked like restaurant checks . . . used to call it "Scoufle Along" . . . and how they are scuffled . . . and how they won . . . and "Shuffle Along" for two years! Here in Paris, it is a thrill to me to read a New York paper now and then and see the names of stars on Broadway who were in the chorus . . . and were being boys . . . with "Shuffle Along" Prince Charming During the road engagement of the show, Josephine Baker managed to save a little money. True, it was only a small mess of eggs. True, it was only a great light on her horizon and beckoned her great things. What Jo calls her "big broke" came in Booklyn. A producer, in the role of the watch, she watched the watch "Shuffle Alone" and he came and save . . . and the brown Cinderella conquered! (Don't miss next week's amazing account of how Josephine Baker found her name in lights on Broadway in an interview with the magazine what happened to the bronze star in the heavens of the "Great White Way").

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 7, 1929 BY LLEWELLYN WILSON Symphony Gives Impetus to Creative Music. Aeolian Society's Birthday. The recently formed symphony orchestra has revealed a surprisingly large number of performing musicians This is indeed a very gratifying discovery to many of our citizens who are vitally interested and in some instances largely responsible for many phases of the musical development of our youth. Musical development, like any other development that is to be pursued, must necessarily be a slow growth. Three types of musical mindedness must be in the process of development in any community. Music stresses in the right direction musically. There must be those who make music either vocally or instrumentally. There must be those who listen to music emotionally and intellectually. There must be The history of music gives evidence which conclusively shows that the race developed vocal music first. Then came the invention of mechanical instruments which had been fashioned to imitate to imitate as possible, either the human voice or some sound in nature; thus were started the beginnings of the first orchestral instruments. The development of vocalists and musicalists in turn evolved creative musicians, which we today call com- One might question what did the earliest singers and players perform? The answer is at once patent. The earliest attempts at musical performance, both vocal and instrumental, were in the nature of musicals. Each singer or player reproduced his own more or less crude musical com- Music was sung and was performed instrumentally years before there were any attempt to reproduce it by other performing musicians. The Negro in America seems to be signally blessed with all types of musical mindedness. As with all other civilized groups, the singing musicians are represented in the largest number of cases in our particular group, gives rise to a peculiar, perplexing problem. Many times real musical development is difficult. Negroes feel that they are the last word in the art of vocal production, either as excellent vocalists or as supreme judges of all that is right and proper in the art of vo- Attempting to sing is just another method of projecting one's personality. Nothing more important than the mind as does the attempt to sing seriously. A sinister, schenling, insincere personality shows itself as soon as such a character appears in musical sounds. On the other hand, granting that one has a good vocal equipment, and has developed a good method of vocal production, nothing so quickly as a noble, honest, trustworthy person. Performance on instruments is also a method of projecting one's personality. I know a noted violoncelloist, who has been tempted to play music of an exalted character, for example music like "Kol Nider," based on a world-old Jewish prayer, used by the Jewish calendar. Yom Kippur, that he always prayed during the performance. The Negro has developed quite a large number of musicians who have gone in for the orchestral instrument. Following the distribution curve for creative musicians, our group, like all other racta groups, has a distinct musical composition as it should. Musical composition of an enduring type must evolve. Many crud attempts must fail. Our young group, like many others, is in its higher branches, counterpoint in all forms. Much is being done by our From the Front Row By LULA JONES GARRETT I saw Our Gang in "Boxing Gloves" this week at the Regent. Always was crazy about the gang. Funny thing, though—Farina's dialect in the talks doesn't correspond with Farina's dialect of scenario script. Now who wanted to hold out on me like that—having a believing that Farina had an ante-bellum dialect when what he really says is a Boston accent? And speaking of passing the buck. Now personally I have no kick against a good buck passer. In fact, I really admire a first class, number one, buck passer. It takes a natural aptitude for squeezing through a tight situation and a great deal of practice in the workplace of the old beam. Now for true buck passer lacking in the subtle working of the old beam, example, look at the member of the theatrical guild here in Baltimore, example, look at the member of the theatrical guild passing that is out of this world. I doff my hat, or would if it was that kind, to these honorable gentlemen. Lo, these many weeks I have sought some regularly good entertainment. Once in a blue moon we get a show that is worth watching. On no occasion I thought I. there is some explanation for this, so I toddled on around some of the theatre managers offices to hear what they had to say on the suggest. The gist of each conversation was: "Sure. I'd like to give my customers what they want. The trouble is I can't get decent shows to fill the bill. There are just about a dozen first class companies on the road — the body can't get them at once. I'll tell you what the producers just don't put out anything. I'm giving you the best I can buy, but my don't you tell the producers that the public is kicking, it's their fault." The producer—"Now it would be just to my taste to give you the kind of shows that you are calling for. You don't think I get a kick out of my name behind a company that isn't so bad. The trouble is the managers don't even those we are putting out. What do you do show you we can rig together for a measly hundred or so? But let it run above that, and you'll hear them howl. Talking about patronage falling off, sure it will fall on a bunch of put anything into to get anything out. They are a bunch of light-wads. Just have to produce what the managers are willing to pay for. Say, can't you tell this?" And back to the manager—"Oh, well. If we did put a high class show on every bill, you'd probably come once a month. And then you wouldn't want to pay the ticket price for that kind of show. And I-Well, if I could just get a few more dimes, I could afford to see a decent show once in a while, etc., etc. And so around the circle. Now that we come to think of it, where are the comedians that once made comedy a vital part of an amusement bill? And why do those that are left think they must stoop to the lowest vulgarity to get a laugh? The average theatre-goer doesn't go in for body paint. Somebody somewhere, please introduce us to ideas, new material and costumes that are decent into this end of the entertainment line. When it comes to the assembling of puchritude, the injecting of punch and the artistic staging of girl revues, we again hand to you seeing the 1829 edition of "Brown Sugar" of course there has never been a more important part in trusting to Miller to produce the desired amount of feminine beauty. Personally, I always thought that Irvin Miller showed a rather lot of girl. If you get my drift. But while his production is rather daring, it is so artistically daring that one sees only the beauty of form and setting. Needless to say, the Thompson dances and George Bias sings. Oh, let me say, When Mr. Bias warbled, "My Fate Is in Your Hands," said one little co-ed in the next seat. "Who wouldn't trust her fate in the hands of a man who can sing like that?" Eva Mearlfa, Grace Smallwood and Tony Grant are to be remembered as real personages of the cast, also. And guess what they favored the new style. Can you imagine folks with such perfect reasons for wearing them short favoring such a style? It all goes to show our lack of appreciation for the blessings we have. younger musicians in these directions. We still have a few those ones who already have a strong shortcomings by showing contempt for those who are striving to improve themselves and the community in which they live. We have a lot of composers of color who have written for the orchestra in the larger forms in a manner that is very impressive. The late Samuel Clerde Taylor, to whom we are indebted, composes our race has yet produced, died lamenting that his attempts at writing in the larger forms for the symphony orchestra have been his convictions, successful. Our new orchestra in addition to developing instrumental technique, will offer an opportunity for the development of creative work for the group. Aeolian's Celebrate The Acadian Choral Society is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its existence. The group has ten talented members, the idea of developing choral music. The group has an excellent repertoire, and a strong production of "Golden Racial Hours," a pageant now being given in Baltimore. Thomas, the present director, has been the conductor since the group was organized. The group and its conductor are to be congratulated for the one year they have been with the community. Chicago Critic Answers Dancer and Praises Adelia Hall, Aida Ward CHICAGO—The statement that the "Bluebirds" company, now playing at the Adelphi Theatre here, is "just as good as the one it was good with him in New York," is made by the reviewer of the Chicago Tribune, local daily. The reviewer's statement, came after he is said to have had telegrams from the Chicago Tribune and apdancer asserted that he taught the two dancing boys in "Blackbirds," and would appear in person at the Chicago Tribune's holidays. The tap dance, the reviewer asserts, was seen and heard long before "Bojangles" became an identity. Continuing the review, the writer praised the imaging of Aida Ward, and then says: the performer entitled to the black type, in the belief of the man's desire, to be entitled to it. She is far-sand-away the best of the Negro sabrettes; easily better than Ethel Waters, and at least as well as Mills was. The principal comel fellows, are Tim Moore and Johnny Hudgkins; and, although they stick to the tradition that Negro comedians wear gloves and wear gloves, they make fun easily.

Club held in the warm They fell into groups, standing about in the large rooms. Others entered and a young social worker from the new civic bureau; both were young munito women, and both exhibited a less approach of the trained worker. Someone asked for Chopin, and Miss Taylor beckoned to Lissa. The girl rose unhesitatingly and crossed the room. Her teacher had been drilling her in the Fifth Nocturne, and she felt comfortable. She sat quietly and well. The piece was open, ready. She made a striking picture seated before the grand piano. "Ready?" she asked, then after a moment, commenced to play. She knew the nocturne by heart, and the love she felt for her air about her that kept her from throwing herself into it. This wasn't playing for fun. There was weighty seriousness about it. She found herself, like the others, reading the page desperately intent in thinking with an intensity that almost hurt, conscious of notes—notes.

INSTALLMENT X The Monday night Club held its meeting at the home of Thomas Broaden, a fine old frame building of the conventional Charleston type, with prazas along its south facade, overlooking a square of garden on upper Coming Street. Seen about the street Broaden was an inconspicuous figure, of middle height and age and light in colour. He habitually wore a soft felt pulle; down over his eyes, and always walked, although he was known to be exceedingly well-to-do, and a number of his friends now owner machines. In his office of the new Negro bank, however, and facing a caller across his desk, he emerged as an individual. Immediately on-would notice the high broad structure of the forehead and the deep thoughtful eyes. Mrs. Broaden was a perfect partner—small and delicately made, she carried her fifty years as though they were thirty and managed the home which that consummate skill which conceals itself in its work and gives an effect of effortlessness, and ease. Both Mary and Thomas Broaden had taken decrees, but his was from Tuskegee, while she was a graduate of On the first night that Lisa attained a meeting of the club, such as her eagerness that she was the first member to arrive at the Broadway residence. Her hostess "said that you be one early," she exclaimed. "I have a chance to make you feel at home before the others arrive." Explaining that her husband was superimposing the girl by the hand and led her over the lower floor of the house, through large, high-ceilinged rooms in which pans gave the impression of being superimposing, she stared "red plush—inchair—down to several pieces of beautiful old Chippewhite and Chippeandle—for the Brondens and always free. Negress in the family for more than a century. Lissa was amused at all that she saw and heard. Here was a life among her own people that she never knew. She was a picture of a picture, it exhibited a group of men on Eas. Battery at the time of the earthquake cortices down and great fissures giggling across the walls. She spoke of it sadly, of a friend who has received a gift. "Say," said Lissa with a note of surprise, "you really love this old town, don't you?" "Why not?" she replied with a smile, "I know it." She most of the crowd in the chair and at the Y. talk of nothing but a chance to go to New York. That's where the money is three days—that's where coloured people in the town were. "I wonder," said Mary Broaden wisely, then, with a knox earnestness, added. "You mustn't say coloured people, my dear—that doesn't matter." She bloured. You are a Negro—make you proud to say it? Lissa looked at her closely to see whether she was serious. She replied. "My friends like that, but it's a new idea, being proud of it." Her hostess gave a light, indulgent smile and patted her on the shoulder, an glad that you didn't wait to see her. "You're at Frank North, for one, would have offered you with a look." "Frank North?" she pointer, you know—or, he says, the violin too. There was a sharp ring at the bell. Breeden stepped to the door and opened it. From the drawing Lisa heard several voices asking her to give up the gesture. Then she drew apart the distinguished a suave, low-pitched man's voice, a higher one with a right vital quality that she decided belong to the artist, and several men's voices still interwoven in it. When they entered, the owner of the higher man's voice was at once confirming her guess as his wife. He was pale and slender, with a white face. He was not more than twenty, as thought as he held out his hand, his ears slightly from the hips, he was and delighted to make your acquaintance. Taylor, his Adkinson, vella Taylor, his teacher, as there and she, her arm, around the girl's waist and faced heroes. "This is my star pupil," and were going to give a treat this evening—aren't we? She felt by the sudden stiffening of the gird that she was embarrassed, the injuries, on wrist 'the introductions, on shoulder, the resting group. There was Dr. Vinson, a short motherly woman in late middle life, a graduate of a Northern university who had turned her back to college, and she had come above the line and had come back home to the old town to work a minimum income among the women and children of her own race. She needed to be Frederick Gerdeau, a director and builder who was an authority on colonial architecture and Gardinia Whitmore. Lissa already knew—she was the soprano in the Reformed Church choir, a large girl with a magnificent voice and a bold mulatto oeuvre that she flaunted like a battle ring. Lissa liked Gardinia Whitmore, who good-fellowship helped her to feel at case in a atmosphere that was commencing so have an overpowering effect upon her. In spite of the fact that Lissa was standing with her teacher, to whom she was devoted, and young North, she found herself talking in a constrained half whisper. She felt as though they were all playing parts and that she sainte was not letter perfece. She said, "I heard you sing the aria the other night at the Y. concert and have been wanting to congratulate you. The performance was wavering. She could only manage an enbargement. Thank you very much." Then was relieved to see that the performers were gathering at the piano. One of the young women was playing first violin, North second, Geridean seat, himself, with his cell against his knee, and Miss Taylor was at the piano. "Shall we start with Beethoven? she inquired with a crisp professional accent. 'How about the 'Moonlight' song?' There was a 2 turning of sheets on the stands -silence—then the launch, and excelsior, and excelsior, and excelsior, and see that they were all highly trained musicians and that technically the performance was of very long duration, with her eyes to the notes, and instead of releasing the music that was prisoned there to fill the room with its magic, they seemed to hold the music down to a technical demonstration. Mrs. Bradden called the girl to her and made a place on the sofa beside Someone suggested spirituals. Miss Jad learns dozens of them from Mamba, and still says she has been the room. She saw the ice breaking at last and rose impulsively. "Oh do you sing them, she cried. 'Do you know 'Play On Your Own'?" Lissa took a seat beside her hostess and told herself quite positively that she was realizing a cherished button, that this life is the thing that she most desired, and the argument, that she was enjoying the evening immensely. She wondered about the others. They were so distant from her childhood asses. What were their thinking behind, behind their unwilling reserve? North, for instance. She raised her eyes and met his singularly intense, bright face, gave her a faint, pliable shock, and for a moment they sat with the and a tingling sense of each other's presence bridging the distance, drawing them subly together to the smiled and dropped eyes to the dinia was seated a growt hot, she looked quickly away and noticed Gardinia Whitmore observing her with open and mocking amusement. The dinia was seated a shadowed corner and with her full dark eyes, she forced inertia seemed literally to swindler in the gloom. But her smile was not only for Lissia, the girl noticed. From her retreat it took in all of them one by one. There could be no doubt about it—she was deliberately laughing at them all. The girl invited Lissia to share her amusement. For a fraction of a second there was an instinctive response, then Lissia's look changed. It became deliberately unresponsive, obtuse, and with the club, What right, had Gardina Whitmore to be pretending a superiority? she thought angled. She was lucky to have been taken up by them. She ought to be thankening her stars. · When the music ceased Mrs. Brodered upon Lissia. · When she said, "what our race is accomplishing artistically—when we have Burleigh, a poet Paul Laurence Dumbar, and in painting, Tanner, to speak for us, we have something to be proud of; and by the way, you must ask Frank to tell you the story. He has some graphic reproductions of his pictures, I believe." They lingered awhile over ice cream ackets, and then, to her relief, the girl found herself out under soft spring stars with the April night cool spring weather. She looked at her home, and they took their way downown through the deserted streets. Lissa sighed and stretched her arms in a wide and deliberately undigested gesture. Then she stole a glance at her companion. He seemed to be in the room with him, and was regarding her with polite inquiry in his face. She said, "If I ask you a straight question, will you give me a straight answer?" "Why, of course." he assured her. "This evening—was that your idea of a good time?" "I was mildly shocked." I thought the evening was a great success, he said on a note of reproof, "Wha's your idea of a good time?" "Oh. I don't know—I thought I rather sing than anything else, but it does" seem to be the case. "What's your idea of about any more? Tell me about yourself and who was it—oh, yes, Tanner." "You know his work?" she said eager, taking up the end of her request, and then moving on to affirmative, he plunged into a description of the artist's triumphs and methods. Lissa was sorry that she had started him, it kept him plunging along with them. When he paused she asked, "Now tell me I bout yourself." "Oh, there isn't much to tell," she said, voice that she was embarrassed, "Graduated from Avery in town and Dad gave me two years in an art school in New York. Now I am going in for portraiture. You know, they are good about sitting for me." Their way had led them through wide, unpaved back streets under large shade trees. A faint anise smelling scent of roses on the leaves and made them whisper. At a far street intersection a big double-truck trooper passed. Lissa heard the clank-clank—clank-clank—clank-clank away in the distance. Then she became cognisant of another sound: the unmistakable rhythm of a spiritual. Where I that coming from?" she "I believe I heard that a church near the tail was having a revival this week," it said without interest. "We can go in if you want, we can come into a dark and rather forbidding byway. Beyond her Lissa saw the men battlemented tower of the jail against the soft, stone wall, a small frame building behind a fence of whitewashed palings. The door and windows were wide to the spring night, and the building was jammed. The walls were well advanced, and the congregation was swaying to "Swing Low, Sweet Charlotte." This was not the Burleigh arrangement. Thought had little to do with this performance, and cloos yet a chorus of individuals each creating his own part—shaving harmonies with fractional notes so fine and spontaneous that no written page could ever capture and prison the Lissa gripped the pailings, with her hands. She was trembling with excitement. "There," she said, "that what I mean. I mean, you say, 'I want you to stay.' You don't care whether the notes are right or no. They are just naturally cutting loose, can't you feel the difference?' The rhythm beat in waves against the surface, so the pain he was feeling, indefinite, yet indicting oxalate of untamed bodies rocking in a close mass, one with the song that they were creating. North's voice, held on a deliberate, unmoving rhythm, on the music. "Oh, that's all right for these ignorant Negroes. I suppose, but where we be if we wept at that? We've got to go beyond it. We're living in a civilized community, we cry, 'forget it will you'." She caught him by the arm and urged him forward. He was so amused at the change in her that he went a step before, and looked at her. But she kept on tugging at his arm and pleaded. "How's it step in, and cut loose just once—listen to that, and she started to hum at tune. 'How can you stand there like dummy with a chance to sing like that?' She felt his arm relax for a moment in her fingers. "Good boy," she said. "Suddenly he pulled back sharply." No, he said sternly. "It won't do—we've got to get away from here. I must get you home. This isn't sort of crowding you know. Think what Mrs. Broaden would say it she heard that we were seen at a revival—shouting our heads off with a lot of dirty Negroes." She knocked her firmly by the arm and was surprised at her sudden and complete capitulation. She turned away and walked, without a word by his side. Opening the door, she jumped the fail. Above them the high buttressed wall soared, cutting the sky away almost to the zenith, and above the wall the loom of battlement tended to the dizzy purple outline against the Milky Way. Lissa looked up, and the black wall seemed to swoop forward and hang poised above them. The night was suddenly dank with the suffering of the thousands who had tam there in the cages—sives, freemen, her people. Her heart was before her, and she thought that she must go to see her with Mamba next Sunday morning. Then they were under a bleary gas The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 7, 1929 A lamp. She had not said a word since leaving; the church, and now North looked at her curiously, "Why, you crying," he exclaimed. "What in the world's the matter?" I am lonely, she said in a trembling cry, loneless girl in the world, I reckon Just let's hurry, please: I want to get home." But the following Sunday found Lissa at church as usual, where she had a small solo part in the offertory selection. She had forgotten that she had strange brainstorm near the hall and had decided to cut church, and to go to see her mother. She would go some time, of course, but this was her career. Mamba said that her mother would be the last person to want her music. The solo went well, she did not feel the restraint in church that she had experienced at the Broadens, and she let herself go into the music, and she body spoke about it when service was over and the congregation went streaming out into the spring with a fancy of nets that she was lonely. Why, no girl ever had more friends. North came and asked her to join a party that was going to his studio to see pictures, and she found her room very well-dressed men and women. North introduced her to Mrs. Prescott, and then, with punctilious observance of the social code, presentations of the man she cared for, productions were always ceremonial. The Prescott occupied the front seat, and the man's large, lautifully gloved hands lay in an attitude of easy familiarity; upon her presence, she took such luxury before. The handsomely dressed woman gave her a welcoming smile over a cloudy fur collar. The car exhaled a faint but pervasive violet perk. North and Lissa crowded into the rear sat with another young couple, and while the car gilded smoothly over the aspiration made Vale money, P-scott had started out as a carpenter, then climbed into a small contracting business, and now owned several blocks of Negra enchant houses. They had all but returned from a visit to New York where they had heard Roland Haves in a recal and had seen Paul Robeson in an O'Neill play, and Michael asked about the success of Lissa listened greedily while she told or the successes of the new Negro artists, and the life in Harlem with the theatres and concert nails, its theater and its emerging intellectual group. "Some day I am going there to have my try" the girl said with flashing eyes. "No course you are, my dear." Mrs. Prescott assured her: "you can bake a voice like yours here forever, you know." North pressed her arm and smiled: "That's what I've been telling her," he said, "but she wouldn't believe The studio was a large, ally secondary room, and a number of portraits were already sung, while many more group scattered, examining the paintings and exclaiming over them. Lissa was left standing alone before two portraits a mat. and a woman in middle age, as she was as the Broadens. She wondered why she had been so slow in knowing them. The likenesses were good, she could see that the features were those of her host and hostess, and the difference? She turned and examined other portraits that hung near, muzzling out the problem as she looked from one to another. Then in a swift revealing moment, she saw the fact that the drawing was well done and the features characteristically Negro, they gave an effect of not being Negroes at all, but white people painted it, and the element lacking. While she pondered, this inexplicable lack commenced to associate itself with other impressions in her mind—the Broadens drawing room, the music that she North came and stood beside her, looking eagerly at her face for her verdict. She tried and words for her impressions. "I can see you know a heap about painting. Those pictures are just like Mr. and Mrs. Broaden, only they don't look just like coloured paper, but slightly dashed in spirit. That's a matter of artistic technique." he explained. "You learn to paint in the academy by a certain method, a method of painting, artists, then you apply technique to your own subjects. After all, if the pictures look like them, that's about all that we can do, isn't it? The girl noticed a defensive tone in his voice and hastened to reassure him. "Oh, I think they're fine. And I know what you mean about technique. It's the same with music. You are awfully smart to catch them." They were joined by Mrs. Prescott, and the girl returned at once to the subject of New York. "I wish you told me some more coloured people up North," she begged. "Certainly, my dear. And Frank must listen, too. Things have His next venture was a trip to Springfield, Illinois. While there he found it necessary to enter a battle royal with four contenders. Spurred by great hunger, circumstances, Jack confronted this by knocking ears him confidence in himself. This battle ears him confidence in himself. changed a lot even in the three years since he has been there." She stepped between the young people and the older people through their "Come and sit down," she said. "Frank can leave his pictures to entertain his guests for him. That's good of being a painter." She talked about how Do white people go to hear them sing? Lissa asked. "The older woman laughed. 'Do they? Why, my dear child, if a hero wants to hear one of his children sing in the gallery. We are not good enough to sit in the orchestra yet, but they will pay three dollars a piece to hear us sing or act." "When I was there Charles Gipin was about the only one I saw him in Emperor Jones." "I suppose it would take an awful lot of money to go on and study?" Lissa queried. "Yes, that's the big trouble with us here in the South. It takes so much to even reach a starting point, and there is so little to do it with." Lissa hesitated on the edge of the room, framed it, with her wide, warm gaze on the woman's sympathetic face: "How much money do you think it would take?" Mrs. Prasscoz considered a moment. "Oh, I suppose it would take at least a couple of years to do it properly—even to get a good start, and living is high up there, somewhere between three thousand dollars. I imagine." Lissa received the information in blank silence. The older woman saw the disappointment in her face and patted her hand sympathetically. "But don't you worry about that. Something is sure to turn up sooner or later." They were joined by several others, and the talk turned on North's paintings. Presently the party commenced, breathless, with new acquaintance asked if she would like to be dropped at home, as they were driving downtown and would pass near the Atkinson's. In the privacy of the comfortable room the girl seemed wrapped around with an atmosphere of security and luxury. Looking out upon the familiar streets from such a vantage point anything seemed possible. She looked at two thousand dollars. She talked to the others, a light answer here, an inconsequent question there, but beneath the surface her mind hung blinded in a dazzle of color. She talked by a dreamer's illusion of actuality. The car came to a standstill at the curb, and Lissa met the questioning eyes of her friend, yes, this is the house," she said, "and thank so very much for bringing me She stepped out and closed the door behind her, then stood for a moment waving farewell for a drew of white people in the street a street of white people standing before a handsome Georgian dwelling. Lissa looked up and caught their gaze fixed on her, which in the old city is always provoked by the sight of a Negro attempting what they would have described as putting on airs. That was nothing inimical in their regard. The girl was merely smiling at her. The effect on Lissa was actually physical, like that produced by the violent awakening of a hypnotic subject, by a fierce aggression of together with an effort, and climbed the stairs to the room over the garage. Mamba was sitting on a large chair, her eyes fixed on a sun-drenched pavement, with her pigeons were strutting and making soft, drowdy talk. Her hands lay in her lap, and between the thumb and forefinger of her right hand, much as a reader might feel, she held Judge Hardness's large gleaming teeth. Lissa flung herself down beside the old woman, buried her face in her lap, and burst into a storm of ing. and anguish, so unexpected from the habitually self-restrained girl that Lissa was frightened. She patted Lissa's head with her enmarled brown hands and begged her with a kiss for her trouble. Finally Lissa looked up into the familiar face that was dimming a little now with the advancing years. The girl was getting herself in hand again. The sobs ceased and she smiled thinmed and stiffened her full "It's no use. Grandma," she said, and there was a new hard tone in the low-timbered voice. "I've just been wanting something. I've been wanting to go get. There's no use breaking our hearts over it. You better forget it, and not let it fret you. I'll call dem new friend 'yo' go! can't they 'yo' kind?

The Musical Sensation of the Twentieth Century NE EVENING in a London suburb a frail little colored boy of six or seven years stood in the street looking eagerly in through a window at a party that was in progress in a parlor. He had been playing marbles with his companions but attracted by the sound of music, had abandoned the game and had come to listen. In one hand were his marbles, and in the other his beloved violin, which he carried around as a little girl carries her doll. One of the gentlemen, looking out, noted the keen interest of the youngster as well as the violin, and invited him in. Finally the lad entered but it was only after much A. coaxing, for he was very shy toward strangers. A violin duet was being played and at its conclusion the little boy could play something. After much further coaxing he consented and played the same air in such perfect tune that all present marvelled. In this manner organ the career of the musician Beckwitt-Taylor, the greatest musical sensation so far of the Twentieth Century. The gentleman, Mr. Joseph Beckwitt, was so delighted that he offered to give the boy lessons, and did so free for the next seven years. He became famous he returned the good deed by teaching Mr. Beckwitt's son harmony. Young Beckwitt also served as leader of the Handel Society Orchestra under Coleridge-Taylor. He came with a bound. Few who have climbed to the top have had so hard a struggle as Coleridge-Taylor. First he was very poor. Born August 1, he was abandoned at an early age by his father, Daniel Hughes Taylor. Father a Brilliant Student The elder Taylor, a native African, had come to London to study medicine. He had graduated with high honors, had taken his degree at 52 in difficult things and had been a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, a high honor. Up to this time Dr. Taylor had worked as an assistant and well-liked, but practicing as a physician in England, a different matter. In short, he found the color prejudice in England so strong that he gave up his practise and returned to West Africa in disguise. Left behind a wife, an English mother and his infant son. He corresponded with them for a short time; but his letters grew further and further apart, until finally he ceased to write. His poor, poor, poor family, had to make best as she could. Was Keeply Sensitive Coloridge-Taylor's second tandirie was his keenly-sensitive nature, and he suffered extremely from the taints of his white company. He was also black, the Lone Negro had about his color and his rrop on thick, short. curly, black hair. They nicknamed his "Coaloy." and one day he would burst "just to see whether it would burn." The third handicap, a good one, was the high standard he set for himself, his perfection and for years he threw ruthlessly almost everything he wrote into the fire because he was not pleased with the equality of it. At school, however, he was the brightest boy in music, and when ever visitors came he the only colored boy he played for them. He had a very good voice, also, and became a solo singer in the church choir. Self-Made Man At fifteen came the problem of making a living. Conquering his music, he must go to work. But here also By J. A. ROGERS as he appeared in the prime of his career Self-Made Man Jack was now seventeen years of age and decideu conclusively on a ring career.

Employment is hard in England, yet he is in harder vet. His mother finally decided to apprentice him to a piano-tuner, thinking that his music, ability would help him along. But to this highly fitted veneer, with the soaring mind, it was like harnessing a spirit-e race-horse to a lumber wagon. It was at this critical point that Londoner who had been interested Coleridge came RIDGE-TAYLOR forward, offering to pay all expenses of his musical training. Called a Savage This gentleman, Colonel Waters, met him much opposing him; that it was a waste of time and money. Some of them, in answer to theael's rebuttal that he had was bright, reason why he should not venture his money. The brain development of the Negro they asserted, was arrested at an early age, and that Colonel Waters one remove from the African jungle. The colonel, however, sent him to the Royal College of Music, where the director, Sir George Groves, refused at first to accept him. For the first year or so Coleridge and seemed to justify the predictions that had been made against his Negro ancestry. But this was not due to lack of genius. It merely meant that he conducted along a path not his own. At last, however, he came under the influence of Sir Charles Stanton, and then it developed that his skill lay, not in interpreting the works of the much higher field, that of a greater Three Compositions in Fire An exemplary student, Coleridge-Taylor worked hard. Sir Charles had but to express the slightest disapproval in a composition and one day demonstrated with him, telling him that he might be destroying a work of value. Coleridge-Taylor replied, "The best place is unsatisfactory condition on the floor." He performed the difficult feat of writing four symphonies movements in as many weeks, each of which in turn went into the works he snatched from the flames by a friend. Today it is precious. But writing music was easy for Coleridge-Taylor. Music seemed to come out nightly. To quote its own words: "There are times when I could set a butcher's bill to music." But his persistence and detail were soon owing to the years of study he won the coveted Lesley Alexander prize, receiving the same award the following year, and as a result the eyes of all who were far-scoring in British music were being directed toward him. Inspired by Dunba: Another great influence in his life was Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The two met in London, and a warm friendship sprang up between them. The two gave recitals together, and Dunbar did much in helping the young musician to find himself. In the meantime, Coleridge-Taylor was coming more and more to the notice of the other composers, and one day when Sir Edward Elgar, the famous composer, was asked by Dr. Herbert Brewer to a composition for Edgar. Elgar wrote back saying he was too busy and warmly recommended Coleridge-Taylor. "He is the cleverest fellow going among FRED B. YAGOR the younger men," said Sir Edward. The Three Choirs' Festival was one of the great musical events of the year. Coleridge-Taylor thereupon wrote his "Ballade in A Minor." Two of the leading composers of the time, Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir Hubert Parry, hearing it in advance, warmly praised it. Dehut as Composer The festival was to be given at Gloucester, and Coleridge-Taylor himself was to conduct the choirs. It was known that an Anglo-African was to be conductor but the audience had expected a white man. Imagine a surprise when a great black man took midnight, slight of build, with an enormous head of high, thick, frizzly hair, broad nostrils, flashing white teeth, and a winning smile. He only critical one, waited breathlessly. So far, Negroes had been unheard of as composers. What sort of composition was it gooled, breathedlessly. The moment was dramatic, intense. The music began! A few bars and the audience was won. The arresting rich strains of barbarie beauty, the boldness and the originality of it all, thrilled his hearers. Quickly they realised that here was a master, that the barbarie made risen in the realm of music. Wins Acclaim At the close of the performance, the ovation was tremendous. Again and again he was called to the footfall of the crowd, the story, and next morning it was told all over England, with many embellishments added. He has come up to Gloucester unhappy, and is famous. London now wanted to hear him and he was engaged to conduct his Ballade at the Crystal Palace, where his success was celebrated. "Hiwathek" the Wedding Feast, perhaps his best known work. Bi: Greatest Success The success was enormous Joseph Bennett wrote: "Certainly the man of the hour is Coleridge-Taylor. He has written as everybody knows, a work called 'Hiwatha's Wedding Feast.' Let us see it. It is to be performed this week at Norwich and three weeks later at the North Staffordshire Festival.' Bennett goes on to name seven other places at which 'Hiwatha's Wedding Feast' is performed. Coleridge-Taylor, greatly in need of money, and like most artists a poor business man, sold the entire rights of the composition for $1,250. Later he had the chargin of seeing the publishers making a fortune out of it as he sold the hundreds of thousands of copies. Shy in Crowds Invitations to the highest social circles, and offers to conduct orchestras and to teach, poured in on the music of Albert Hall, the largest auditorium in England, thousands were turned away, and at the close he was reprimanded for walking out into the street. But the audience refused to go and someone had to be sent to find him, and brine him back. The most modest, he disliked open praise. Someone who knew him well has described him as a mervy lauding, never-ruffled person. shy in a crowd but very much at home among friends. Almost all of his life prior to his death, he was the company of his mother, almost his only friend up to that time. Audiences had to begged him later for his own would exclude them. Critics spoke of him in phrases like these: "He shows the land of a master, marvellous indeed." "Uniting the Sea and the River," "the fire he belied is unfailling, the brilliance of his orchestration and the fertility of his imagination are astonishing. Not less surprising, the best, every page of his score is stamped with the composer's oratory." Others called him "the greatest musical sensation," while some placed him "in the sublime with Beethoven. Brahms and Wagner," and spoke of his "gorgeous imagination, charm, grace, chicness, sonority, and weird, rushing barbarity." Jaeer called him: "A Heaven-sent musician, and Herbert Antifile, antifile note him in the Musical Quarterly thus: "When we analyse the work to discover the qualities which make it so dislikable, we are able to disgrace the one we call genius, one able one which we call genius. Schubert wrote nothing simpler or more melodious and neither he nor Weber produced more beautiful music from the orchestra, while not Haydn nor Mozart was more direct in his structural methods." He do not think that all the creature praised him; some of those who professed to shupe the course of music ignored him altogether. One of them was heard to remark after another: "damned 'nigger.' He'll never do, anything more." His Critics Foiled On another occasion a well-known critic made himself look very ridiculous by attempting to disparr ze him. In Coleridge-Taylor's repertoire on the particular occasion was a Te Deum, which appeared in a well-known writer. The critic, in question, spoke in enthusiastic praise of the Te Deum, and took occasion to bellittle the orchestration of the famous Ballade by suggesting to Coleridge Te Deum in orchestra (Concluded on Pace Treel).

"I'm not so sure I want to be a lady, after all." Lissa exclaimed. She got to her feet and strode to the open window, then turned and faced Mamba again. Her body was drawn taut against the brilliance of the Southern noon, her fists were clenched at her sides and shaking slightly from their muscular tension. "Oh, I don't know what the hell I want," she flung in in reckless voice, "but it I don't find out soon and get it I'm going crazy." Lissa had never been on intimate terms with Gardinia Whitmore. This was strange, because their music had thrown them together constantly, and as their voices were perfectly suited to each other's they were always in demand for duets at rectals and concerts. The explanation apparently lay in Lissa's good taste. She was not herself aware that she possessed such a characterist. But she realized that, while she was attracted by the flamboyant personality of the popular soprano, she experienced an involuntary withdrawal into herself at the other's trunk advances. She knew that Gardinia did not belong to the same position in society that she did, for while she was accepted everywhere on account of her voice, it was obvious that she did not belong. Seen in the Broadens' drawing doom Gardinia immediately made one think of a Bengal igress zco. She was magnificently proportioned, a black sinuousness of body and dark, heavy-lidded eyes in which the banked fires of desire considered and glowed. She seemed at times to move among the furniture with a desperate and scarcely veiled hostility. By turns she would be seized by a gaiety so much it seemed to be solvent, or sarcastic to the others with her sardonic and sultry gaze. But over her lay, like a transparent gauze, a surface slackness which, while it did not in the least disguise her essential self, gave her hostesses something upon which to fix their something while they were, and gave her to their friend. But when Gardinia sang, people was forgotten, and people ceased explaining her even so themselves. It would have been difficult to find a more interesting contrast than that which the two girls presented in one of their appearances in a duet. They were of the same height but Lissa was more slender showed a greater resting form and featured. She gave the impression of finding her powers in reserve, there was behind her art an indefinite suggestion of tragedy that made even her lighter numbers poignant. Gardinia, on the other hand, was an emotional geyser, and except when she was under the rigid discipline of the Monday Night Musical Club, she captured her listeners with a power that was almost physical. Sunday following Lissa's outburst to Mamah she found herself on the pavement before the Reformed Church, with the congregation from the morning service streaming past her. The week had increased rather than diminished her feeling of unrest. In spite of Mamba's entreaties, she had not confided in her. In the first place, her own feelings were too vague to put into words. There was no use to tell her grandmother that she wanted two thousand dollars with which to go away. She knew that the old woman had been putting something aside her every week, every cent that she could spare, in fact. It was to be hers to help her along when she no longer had the loving care of the shrewd old head and busy hands. She had never let herself think of it, for to do so brought the true prescience of the human loss that it would imply. What would that pitiful amount to, anyway? No, she not ask Mamba for money and what the other things were that she wanted she did not know. Overhead, the portico of the church hung against a soft gray-blue sky, and the air was voluptuous with the warmth of early summer. About her many feet shuffled on the pavement, friendly greetings filled the air. A girl shipped an arm through her "Gong my way?" Lissa hook her head, and the girl moved on. The crowd was thinning, breaking away in ones and two, laughing in the bright summer weather that that loved, bound for Sunday dinner, or long, idle walks through the quiet street. Lissa saw the prescottts getting into their car. North was with them again, and Nella Taylor, her music teacher. They all saw her together and beckoned waved. Lissa shocked and watched them drive off with a feeling akin to a fire. Then she heard Gardner's voice behind her. She a heavy, rather husky speaking voice, "What's the kid waiting for?" she asked, "Got a date?" "No I am going home. Just waiting for the crowd to scatter. I hate crowds." The she gave Gardinia a faint smile and added. "But I am surprised not to see you with a felter. Thought you always had one on a string." "Did, but I forgot my umbrella and had to go back for it. Now he's gone. I bet that yeller cat Liza switched him while I was inside." "Well, I guess I'll be going," Lissa opined. "Say, you ain't so chummy, are you?-regular chilly sister. But I'm down town, too, and I just as lief trot along with you." "Sure, glad to have you." "The walked in silence for a while, the Gardinia turned and looked with frank curiosity into Lissa's face. "Do you know?" she said. "I can't somehow make you out. You look just like a human bein'-got hands and feet 'neverything, but you don't seem to get no kick out o' life. All bus' out with the blues all the time. Say, what do you do nights, any-yea?" Thus challenged. Lissa gave the matter thought. "Oh, I don't know," she answered. "Of course, there's the Monday Night Musical." "Good Gawd!" her companion exploded. "You don't call that life," she said. do you? "Well, most nights, when I am no Afro Photo JAMES LANDMAN of Chestertown, Maryland, who represents the AFRO-AMERICAN in his vicinity and who made a visit to the home office last week in the interest of sales promotion. He was also present at the Saturday Club meeting singing, I just sit round with Grandma and talk." "You little hell-raiser," Gardinia mocked. "Aren't you 'fraid the cops' get you?" "Suspense. Frank North comes around, and we walk out." "Frank North—so that's it! Don't you know, bright eyes, if you keep that up you'll end highbrow?" Lissa drew away and regarded her companion coldly. "Look here," she challenged. "You've a great way of throwing off on my friends. Frank's the only boy I know who's got something to talk about. You could learn a lot from him yourself." Gardinia refused to accept the challenge. She remained silent for a moment, then yielded to an impulse. "Say kid, wouldn't you like to try just one real party? You think you're gettin' life with that highbrow crowd, just because you don't know what life's like. What you say I fix up a date for a dance with a couple allows for next Saturday night. What you say you just 'tit highbrow, life with red lighting, and night turned on bright—" Gardinia shocked Lissa's sensibilities, as she always did when she let herself go, but the girl was conscious of a vague excitement over the idea. Also she wa, acutely aware of the physical attraction of her side, she's animal spirits caused whose sheen animal spirits within herself.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 7, 1929 BRIDGE Bidding informs all four players of what the hands contain. The best combined hands. Difference between business and informatory Doubles. Br. B. W. TALIAFERBO Last week I tried to tell you of the necessity of co-operative bidding. This week I am going to continue in the same vein. I know that you cannot get too much information on bidding and its complexities, and the necessity of informing your partner of the entire strength of your hand. This brings about the question as to whether you are not informing your adversaries also. To an extent you are: Ye: at the same time aren't they also telling you something, thereby bidding both sides campaigns are mapped out; namely, the offensive and the defensive. Naturally the best combined hands (note that I say combined) should obtain the contract, and if the hands are bid properly they will obtain it. Every bid, every pass, and every double should have a meaning. Learning the game correctly will give you the real proof of this. Doubles There are two kinds of doubles that I wish you to familiarize yourself with. The one of which you know most is the "Business Double." The other one is the "Informatory Double." I presume that you already know that a double resumes the auction the same as the bid, making three passes necessary to finish. Therefore the person making the bid that was doubled has the chance to take himself out, or to pass double. The double as it stands today is one of the outstanding features of the game. In fact it has almost the same ranking as the bid in importance. Business Double When bridge was first brought to this country, the bid of an opponent was not doubled unless the doubler expected to defeat the contract and obtain the double penalty. The double made to obtain this penalty is still as important a factor as ever and is now called the "Business Double," to distinguish it from another double, generally known as the sometimes called the negative double). As I have stated the Business Double is one that expects to defeat the contract and obtain the double penalty. The Informatory double is very different. It is a conveyer of information. Informatory Double A Business Double cannot be used advantageously in the early bidding, because doubling a bid of one or sometimes even two, to set the contract makes your hand a bidable one, so why double if you can bid? To defeat a small size contract is unusual; to defeat it severely is rarely possible and when the opportunity does arise a Business Double would waste the opportunities of the tendering and the would be able to rescue themselves with a safer bid. So, that you may thoroughly understand the relative values of these two doubles I am going to make their definition a little clearer. A Business Double is made with the expectation of defeating the adversary and getting a double penalty: the intention of the doubled being, that his double be allowed to stand. Informelivery: Double is made for the purpose of conveying certain information to the partner, who is expected to overbid unless his hand is so strong that he feels justified in allowing the double to stand. The Informatory Double of a No Trump Bid announces that the doubler also has No Trump strength, and, as it requires more strength to justify a No Trump double, than the minimum necessary for a No Trump bid, the double indicates that the doubler should be probably stronger than that of the bidder. The Informatory Double of a suit bid, announces strength in the other three suits, but possibly none in the suit that is doubled. Demands A Business Double demands that the partner refuse to bid. An Informatory Double demands that he bid. It is of vital importance that these two doubles be distinguishable, so that the partner should never have at least doubt as to what the doubled means. When playing with a partner that might misinterpret the meaning of a double it is much wiser to refrain from making it. No greater catastrophe can happen with a sound bidder than with a have an impossible pass rate than with a bid is expected, or to have him take out a double when a double would have penalized the adversaries severely. Three factors enter into the classification of a double: first, the size of the bid which has been doubled; second, whether a No Trump or Sult bid has been doubled; third, whether the doubles' partner has previously bid or doubled. I give you the following advice on how to move the Business Double and the Informatory Double classifications: The Double Bid—the Previous Action of Partner—the Classification:— One No Trump—Has NOT bid or doubled—Informetrics B. Inhibitory. 2. One Office—HAB bid or doubled—Business. 3. Two or more No Trump—Immaterial— Business. 4. One, two or three Suit Bid—Has Not bid or doubled—Informatory. 5. One, two or three Suit Bid—HAS Bid or doubled—Business. 6. Four or more of a Suit—Immaterial— Classification With this classification you should realize the importance of a knowledge of doubling as well as bidding. If your partner has passed a one No Trump bid, your double demands that he bid: if he has bid, your double demands he refuse to bid. Your double of a two or more bid in No Trump demands that he refuse to bid. If he passes a suit bid of one, two, or three, your double demands he bid; if he has made a bid, your double demands that he refuse to bid further. Of course it is easy to realize that a double of a bid of four is always Business, and the qualifications thoroughly and memorize them if possible and when playing try to put them into operation, so that they become part of your game. If your partner doubles informatorily, and the double is taken out by a bid and you double, that double is always business. Later I am going to bring up the subject of Doubles and Doubling again, but until then study what I have already told you and you will find that it will help you considerably in the bidding of your hands. Next Week Bidding Next week. I will take up bidding in general, giving you some of its classifications, and information as to how to recognize necessary strength in a hand for a bid either in a suit or a trump. Before I any further on the subject of bidding I want you to understand that Bridge is a game of Ladies and Gentlemen exclusively During the Auction, nothing should be said but the statements of your bids. All unnecessary talk is strictly taboo in there. There bids and find in no other bridge that you will find in no other games. BRIDGE TERMS What is a Tenace, a Closed Hand, a Quick: Trick, a Yarborough From now on I am going to use nothing but bridge parlance in speaking on the various angles of the game and in order that you may thoroughly understand me I am following with a glossary of bridge terms that you must familiarize yourself with. You must not only know their meaning but you must use them in your talk and in your play of the game. Each week will see a few added until you have the complete list. By that time you will be playing bridge properly if you follow these columns diligently. Again I request that you allow me to help you with your bridge problems by sending your troubles in # IO.1 1.

BRIDGE ETIQUETTE (Who Should Shuffle Cards) These etiquettes are just as important as any other feature of the game and are demanded of the players at all times. Each issue of this column will fill them some of the cards. Cut them for they will mark you as a bridge player as well as your playing will, and file them until you have the entire edition. First, you must use TWO packs of playing cards with different backs, in which no card is torn or otherwise marked. Second, you must draw from a the playing pack for seats and for the selection, n. packs. Third, each player has the right to shuffle, dealer having the right to shuffle last, but this is a privilege he never takes unless he does it to change the run of the cards. The person. The dealer's left always shuffles the cards to them in front of the dealer, who then hands them to opponent on his right who cuts them, laying the top portion towards the dealer. The person who cuts never completes it. It is the dealer's privilege alone to complete the cut, b' placing the portion nearest the player's right on top of the player laying toward him. In shuffling, the back must be held face down, in cutting. Fourth, No player has the right to touch a card during the deal. When the deal has been completed and the dealer picks up his hand that is the player for the other player, he touches their card, have this listed under an etiquette, but it is really a law and not only must a new deal be executed but the opponents to the offender can add fifty points to their score. Next, each player gives you more cards and etiquettes, of the game, but always remember the game is only for ladies and gentlemen.

In the meantime the producer and auteur of his film, him ordered musical scores for them. He made the music for Sir Herbert Beebrum Tree's "Herod," for Zang-will's "God of War," for "Faust" and others. At the same time he was conductor of the Croydon Conservation the Croydon Central Society, and "Benth" and "t'e Rochester Choral Society. He was also Professor of Composition at the Trinity College of Music Professor of Theory and Harmony at the Crystal Palace School of Music and Art, and other colleges. A teacher he was was an art teacher. He was infused into his students an immense enthusiasm for their art. Captures America In 1904 he visited America where each appearance was a triumph. Long before, however, colored Americans had been forming Colored League clubs in his hometown, Conn.

President Roosevelt entertained him at his at the White House, and the American society, the White House. His other American tours were finally successful. An important fact to be noted about Colidge-Taylor was his attitude on the color question. In his early youth he seemed to have been rather ashamed of his color and his so-called race and to be denied that as man for all races as a Negro. And this shy, sensitive boy, alone among white companions can hardly be blamed if he was. Wrote in Behalf of Negro. In later years, however, he became passionately a Negro, and great champion in England, always writing to the papers, protesting against their exclusion from the higher artistic life on the mere ground of color. Was this change due to the fact that he had now arrived, that he had at last proved to the world and to himself that color was only an accident. Whereas before he bore the tauchs meekly, he resented them now. Once when he was out walking, a band of young hoofkicks shouted at him calling him "Blackie." Catchline one of the young scoundrels he taught him a lesson with his bane. His flighting spirit and indignation with race injustice increased with him. Negro themes and him attention. He wrote a stirring composition on Toupin's L'Ouverture, as well as an official Suite, Songs of Slavery, among which is The Quadron Girl and Twenty-Four Negro Melodies He was extraordinarily impressed by the spirituals. A Demon for Work The great composer seemed as if possessed by the demon of work, he gave himself no rest, and to make others worse he was not strayed built. The English climate proved too much for his lungs; he took ill and died on Sept. 1, 1912, at the age of 37 years.

Lincoln Back Crosses Goal Line but Drops Ball When Tackled. SUB BACK FAILS, TOO Waits Across Goal Line for Pass that Never Comes. PHILADELPHIA—The first offense is a strong defense. Howard U. prepares for 12,000 rookies this annual Thanksgiving Day classic Thursday. Without playing a game all season, Howard appeared easy meat for the vorous Lincoln team, but the big nine league, while Howard is in last position. Yet out of the cellar came a team which battled the previous Saturday while a sturdy Morgan team was on the one-yard lins and could get no further, and then last Thursday used to having its back to the wall saw a doughy Lincoln team's charge on the goal line. Howard couldn't win. It had no offense worthy of the name, but its defense was a masterpiece and will go down in history as one of the most plausible moments in the 26 game of the classic. A smart Howard team lighter than their opponents, knew every Lincoln play except the lateral pass with the end coming round on the opposite side to carry the ball. Lincoln backs were halted before they started and forward passes batted down by a secondary defense that knew its p and Weather Cold The weather was intensely cold and caused an unusually large number of fumbles by both teams. The traditional color that is always present in a Howard-Lincoln tilt, was conspicuous. Lioas Fail in Pinches .Faulty generalship on the part of the Pennsylvaniaans, who four times lost to the Indians and who on another occasion, mutted an opportunity to score, cost them a victory, as Howard, playing a purity game, gave the Indians a mild defeat in possession of the ball. 3askerville's Chance In the closing seconds ct play, Anderson fired a pass to Baskerville, a substitute back sent in for this purpose who standing over in the Howard goal line, with arms outstretched, hit McKayall, Howard triple threat, came from almost nowhere, to bat the ball to the ground as the timer's gun signalled the end of the contest. Baskerville's chance for fame and glory grounded with that pass, Karma gutted him on the ground, saw him saw Lincoln, the aggressor throughout, made 12 first downs against two for Howard. The Blisse made a first down in each half. Time and again opportunity knocked at the Lions den, but the defense, Taylor used three quarterbacks, "Detroit" Jackson, "Sheep" Jackson, and "Half Pint" Carter in a vain attempt to uncover the right field general. Big Jim Anderson, who has seen Lions' previous major engagements, was at the fullback post during the entire game. NERVS iod. Marshall kicked to Lincoln, 34-yard line, and Sydnor, received a lateral pass behind the line and galloped 16 yards to midfield before being stopped. Wit. Lewis, Clarence Sydnor, carrying the Lincoln made four consecutive first downs, taking the oval to the Howard 14-meter line. Ellis. Howard tackle. was injured early in the third quarter and had to be carried from the field. Greenlee taking his place. Game Statistics Lincoln tried 10 froward passes, completing only two and having eight incomplete, of which were grounded while the third was intercepted. Ten yards in perilities assessed for infidelity Lincoln lost 85 yards because of penalties. Anderson Kicks Anderson: outkicked Marshall consistently, his kicks averaging 44 yards against 36 for the Howard booster, but Marshall's sterling play both on the defense and on the offense stamped him as the most outstanding performer of the afternoon.

Every first play, Livingstone tumbled and Smith recovered on the Blue's 4-yard marker and again the Blue stone wall asserted itself and Smith lost the ball on downs.

GUS MOORE RUNS IN SNOW TO WIN RACE Pittsburgh Runner Overcomes Flashy Field to Win BERWICK, Pa.—With the mercury well below the freezing point, the mountain roads covered with ice, and the start of the event delayed more than a half hour while a half dozen State highway patrolmen and troopers drove the road of stalled automobiles, Gus Moore, University of Pittsburgh, starred the 20th annual Berwick marathon, here Thanksgiving day. Moore was 49 minutes, 42 seconds, almost two minutes slower than the record for the course, set in 1922 by Willie Ritola of New York, when he was punished for driving into Pittsburgh Negro runner, formerly of Baltimore. Snow Two Feet Deep At one place along the course there were snow drifts two feet deep, which had been churned up by automobiles before the runners got there. Phil Silverman, winner, pitched in and the other runner were unable to finish. Silverman dropped out in the second mile. There were 32 starters, the large field to once the prize, and them being Clarence D-Mar of the Melrose A. C. Boston, and Mike Yunch, of Washington. Thousands of persons lined the course as the runners slipped and crashed into the dirt. Particularly on the downgrades was the going bad. On the long upgrade, as the large field swung to the first mountain there was so much ice that the runners preferred to mud of the road to the weed-coated banks along the road. Despite the bad conditions there were no accidents. were no accidents. At the finish Moore held a lead of about 18 seconds. A little more than 128 was much less difference between the succeeding runners until well down in the field. Rich Detwil, white, of Pennsylvania State College was second. Five Canadians made the most determined invasion in the history of the even and carried off two of the prizes. The winner was third place, and Wilf McCluskey, of Toronto, was fifth. Omega, Alpha Win Big Holiday Crowd Witnesses, Opening of Inter-Frat Hoop Season NEW YORK. — Before one of the biggest crowds of the Omega game in a 34-16 win over Sigma, followed by Alpha, who defeated Kappa, 39-28, in what proved to be a combination of accurate passing and spectacular fieldwork, they threw and excited every basketball fan in the house Thanksgiving Day. The Omega boys were a little slow in getting started and looked rather feeble as the Sigma players began immediately after the first whistle, but it wasn't very long before they began an attack that kept Sigma dizzy and befuddled until the end of the half. The team's story with Capt. Bob Payne and his boys easily outplaying the tired, puzzled, blue and white crew Strain was highskier for his team and the only Sigma man who was the final score: Omega, 34, Sigma, 16. Alpha and Kappa The Kappa's kicking more evenly matched, were forced to extend themselves in order to be sure of scoring, thereby giving the fairs a much welcomed exhibition of whirlwind passing and teamwork.

PETELSURB, Va. — Coach Martin's Virginia State Hillers firmly entrenched themselves as C.I.A.A. champions for 1929, by conquering their ancient Turkey Day rivals, Coach Bynum and T. Bulldogs This is the first time State has won the coveted crown. The game was featured by a kicking duel in which Boone was the picker, unkicked "Bus" Coleman, averaging 43 yards to the latter's 36. State scored first in the early part of the third quarter when Bounds, crashed over for a touchdown, to climax at 22 yards and 22 yards had been begun when "Bus" Coleman was forced to kick from his 30-yard line to "Zip" Johnson. State's safety man, who received on his 48-yard line, drove down off tackle down the field to "Plug" Chambers added six more to make it first-十en. Bounds then took the ball seven yards to place it ten yards from the Angies' goal line. On the next play, Bounds made a touchdown to drive the ball to the drive line. With only five yards to go the ball was given to Captain Chambers who carried it to the Buildings' 2-yard line. Bounds then crashed off-left tackle two yards across the last white mark. The extra point, an interception of "Zip" Johnson holding, was carried wide by the wind. Score 8-0. Aggies Even Count But in the latter part of the same quarter Coach Bynum's boss began a rush which ended in the fourth quarter with a win. "No Williams had kicked to A. and T.'s 7-yard line where Coleman picked it up to return to twenty-nine yards to his first down, brought eight yards. Then Coleman shot a pass toward the side lines just past the line of scrimmage 'Falk who raced forty-one yards to his first down, brought down Coleman, advanced the ball four yards. On the next play an attempted triple pass was smothered when Lee, broke through and downed. On the next play, Coleman dropped back as if to place kick, and after drawing State defense in, shot a pass to Falk who was brought down the field to stop him seven yards from a touchdown. A plunge by Falk netted five yards. Another plunge failed to gain an inch. Two yards later he missed it. It was now the third down and two yards to go Carter then plunged, making one yard. The next play, a cross-buck, ended a mass piled high on his first down. Coleman in possession of the ball. The referee and umpire cleared the wreckage to find Oliver, State's guard, was lying on his side parallel to the goal line, with Coleman holding the ball firmly against the former's back, and the opponent too low, the umpire, Cundin, to believe this fourth attempt to crash State's stone wall, had failed. The referee hesitating for a moment in consultation declared it a touchdown. And thus, State's goal line hitherto unsuited, the ball crossed the extra point, an attempted place kick by Coleman, failed. Score 6-6. State Drives 80 Yards State started this 80-yard drive from her 20-yard line, and Johnson, on the first two plays, made first down. Bound: added a pass from Johnson to the 86-yard line. State wore the ball to the 4 1-3-yard line, and "Zip" Johnson then slipped through for the winning touchdown from Johnson to Payne who replaced Powell at left-center failed. With only 5 minutes left to play, — the Bulldogs passed a passing touchdown completely stiffed by the champions' defense. Commandeurs Meet Greeks Next Friday Philly Quint to Test Locals.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 7, 1929 Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON THE POPULAR THING TO DO these days, I've been informed, is to pick a national football champion, whatever that is. Already I have had my ear drums swelled with raucous sighs that Tuskegee player, Tuskegee, agreed. The team has awarded Wilberforce, conqueror of West Virginia State, and administered a sound thrashing to Bluefield, the team that before its loss to West Virginia State, had been undefended for three years. On the basis of the fact that the Tigers have not lost a game during the present season, football fans are yelling that the Alabama team should be awarded the mythical national title. These same fans would place next Wilberforce, West Virginia State, Bluefield and Virginia State, in the order named. Both Tuskegee and Wilberforce, if I am rightly informed, do not observe the three- or four-year player eligibility rule. For that reason you have a Stevenson or a Duncan, or a Mendenhall or a Redden, running away from the school, more or less, schools point out—and quite justly if their facts are straight—is unfair to the schools that observe three-year and four-year eligibility rules. Imagine Lincoln with a "Jazz" Byrd or a Sydnor on the team for six years, or Hampton with a George Byrd, for more than the allotted time set by the CLAA. When the new College Athletic Conference was formed in the South last year, Tuskegee, not having college qualifications, was not a member. The Tigers, then, are a non-conference eleven, but still have a place in the NCAA. Florida, A. and T. Morris Brown, Wilberforce and Bluefield—a rather impressive schedule. I wonder, however, what Tuskegee would have done with Howard's schedule—Hampton, Smith, Morehose, West Virginia State, Bluefield, Wilberforce, Fisk, Morgan, and Lincoln— I also wonder what the Tigers would have done had an eligibility list cut off some of their star players. They might have done just as well with a different schedule, and they might have done just as well without some of their stars. Cleve Abbott is a coach and he would have done with even green material cannot be surmised. Nevertheless, the Tigers theoretically rule the roost, and certainly have a strong claim for the mythical title. But of this championship stuff, more anon. And maybe YOUD like to name one. CERTAINLY YOU REMEMBER the recent stir caused when Allegheny High School, of Cumberland, Maryland, refused to play a scheduled game with Altoona High School of Pennsylvania, because the latter school refused to play in the situation, which it believes will give you a clearer conception of the whole affair. The game as you know was canceled, and following that action the Pennsylvania school was commended by numerous organizations, the press included, for its stand taken in the matter. The Altoona school was commended by action of the Altoona School Leadership Training School of the First Methodist Church, white, composed of about 150 young people. The resolution adopted by this group declared that "race prejudice is an enemy of civilization which must be given absolutely no quarter if the future is to register any real and abiding progress." The Altoona Tribune, white, declared editorially: "In permitting a cancellation rather than bar Milton, Negro player, from action, Altoona High School authorities have set a commendable example of other schools, including seven." With help with my "Cumberland High School protested the use of Milton in the football game scheduled here today. Cumberland it seems was acting upon a school rule, the merits of which will not be discussed. The game was played by Milton was not in the lineup, and Altoona High School authorities made a similar declaration—and the game was cancelled by Cumberland. "The fact that Milton is a star on the local team does not entice the football team, what event is taken. Milton has played in every game this year. He has conducted himself as a gentleman at all times. He has played hard, aggressive football, but he has played clean football, a game that might be taken as a criterion of how the game should be played. He has played in every game, and the equal chances with white children in the classroom. That equality must be extended to every other activity connected with the schools. "In rejecting Cumberland's protest in such an emphatic manner, Altoona High School is making a stand for the right that cannot be misinterpreted." But hark, it is the principal of the Cumberland School, G. F. Reiter's spokesman, K. Reiter, a white man, writes to the AFROAMERICAN as follows: "The annual football game between the Altoona High School and the Cumberland High School was cancelled because Altoona refused to substitute a white player for the colored lad on their team. It was either a case of cancelling the game, or having it cancelled, or playing the game, for the boys on the team refused to play against a colored lad, and they were upheld in their decision by their parents. "This is simply what has happened in the past when college teams south of the Mason and Dixon line were scheduled to play teams north." "Until recent years the contracts contained a clause relative to the elimination of colored players from the teams that should play with Altoona, however, contained no such clause and it was not until the picture of the Altoona team appeared in the paper, showing the colored lad on the team, that the Cumberland boys were able to play in the contracts and voiced their sentiments against players. "When Altoona was first informed concerning the regulations, with reference to colored players, they agreed to play the game without using the colored lad. The next day, however, they were able to play in the Altoona, stating that they would not play the game without the colored lad, and it was mutually agreed to cancel the game. "I am not contending that the cancellation of the game was the right thing to do, but it must be remembered that there are several reasons why we should not play these two races never come in contact in any phase of their educational systems and as long as the race problem continues to occupy such an important place in the social life of the South we will have to abide by the customs of the people south of the Mason and Dixon line." And in view of "the social life of the South," need I comment further? THIS VERY SATURDAY, and other officials of Maryland, the District of Columbia, and some Virginia high schools, are to meet here in an endeavor to reorganize the old South Atlantic League. Just how many will be present this writer cannot say, but he can say that EVERY ONE OF THE SCHOOLS INVITED SHOULD BE REPRESENTED. While Ed Westmoreland, the energetic leader of Armstrong High School, Washington, is taking a leading part in the effort to reorganize the South Atlantic League's support of all of the schools in the effort to put, the biggest over There is need of a high school conference if that conference will formulate eligibility rules for all schools and then SEE that THEY WILL BE THE BOSS. We look at if you can formulate and equalize the schedules of the various schools. It is needed if it will bring the schools into closer contact with their kindred problems. It is not needed, however, if there is to be bickering and arguing as to who is the boss or as to what color of jerseys are to be worn in the school. If you can need for either of these. Here's hoping the boys turn out in full. Yep, I'll be there. MY GOOD FRIEND, SLOUCH, hasushed breaklessly into the office to give me the first ALL-AMERICAN football team of the season, and just to please the poor fellow I'm going to print his selections.

RICHMOND A.K.A.'S GIVE UNIQUE BARN DANCE RICHMOND, Va.—When the social season for the winter was ushered in, on Friday evening, by the barn dance, of the Upsilon Omega Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, their motto for the evening, as expressed by their Basileus, Mrs. Edwin Sharp, was, "Leave your cares at home; on with the dance, and be merry." The Elks' Dancing Emporium was decorated very prettily, by corn stalks placed at convenient intervals along the sides of the hall, and by canopy draperies, with variegated autumn leaves, hung from the ceiling. Just above the heads of the barn-yarders, the lighting effect was dimmed to a mellow glow, presenting a dusk scene. The sora and the sora were dressed as "Old Pashlone Lassals," and with ruffled pantaloons, topped off with piteous hats. During the intermission they marched in to the strains of "Happy Pals" Orchestra, and sang two songs, the words of which were composed by Mrs. Kate G. Colson. All of the guests were atired in some barnyard fashion, especially the ladies. A number of them had beach overalls, made from creton of various hues. The gentlemen seemed to be in their element, having taken little pains to secure their costumes since the majority already had "ditch attire." Mrs. Edwina Sharp, the basileus, welcomed the group in a gracious manner, and received prolonged applause after her speech. The committee responsible for the success of the affair was composed of Dr. Zenobia Gilpin, Mrs. Juette Greer, and Misses Ruth Evans, Halle Gray and Elizabeth Gray.

Thousands of Europeans Seek Entry to U.S. Native Africans Only Colored Workers Satisfied with European Low Wages and Poor Sanitation. *By J. A. ROGERS* I receive many questions from persons who say that they are sick of conditions in America and are planning to go to Europe to settl. While over there we have come over for this purpose and at least two who had brought their families. I have stressed frequently the gravity of this, but since the question keeps recurring there seems nothing else to do but to repeat. the Negro. I fancy that there are millions of Europeans who would be willing to change places with him, dislikes and harms him, and is pleasant admission to make not so much because it gives comfort to the oppressors but because we are already to smugly content and apathetic. If the destiny that brought this Negro to America was bizarre, it is not escaped. We are not escape now. His tastes in living, dress, and even in luxuries hold First and foremost, there is the question of language for all countries, except England. For many, it is in a land whose tongue he does not know? I have discovered that few, if any of those who have gone and those who are itching to go, know any other language except their German, who does not know a word of English coming into a group of Americans and trying to do business! Such a one is reduced to making signs, and at best feels much embarrassed. But support speaks the language when he arrives on the other side, what does he find? He finds himself in a new environment to which he must adapt himself. He is actually transplanted and must take new food, again, and this is colored or white. Living Conditions Lower The American is usually the first one to kick, for living conditions are lower than in the United States, and sanitary conditions worse yet. You can say the American rate of wages, one will find things generally cheaper, but almost uniformly the quality is cheaper, too. Of course if one is rich, one can absorb comfort in no matter what part of Europe on a par with that of America. But we are speaking of those who must make a living. Let us say that one has adopted himself to the European mode of work and what does he find? That there are a thousand dogs for every bone with himself last in the struggle. But if by some chance he was ever to get the bone he would find, as an example, that it isn't worth the nicking. Wages Low Wages in European countries are from a half to one-fourth of what they are in the United States of living is we, high for the European. In some cases he must pay the same prices as the wage earner in the United States, essentials like food and housing are cheaper, except in England where they are about the same as in Amer- Chauffeur S6 a Week In fact wages are so low in most European countries that they seem incredible. A French chauffeur in a family gets something like six dollars a week, room and board. In America I hear of chauffeurs getting forty dollars that sum he can save approximately much higher than the French one. Bank Clerk S15 A bank clerk in Paris who gets a $1 a week is being well paid, for the time he works. A good stenographer and typist can be had for $10 a week, and a foreman in a mechanical plant gets about $10 a week. Europe today is suffering from poor economic conditions due chiefly to the last war and over-population. It is staggering under its huge war debt and is working to force work must share in the load. Quotas Filled Is it any wonder that so many European casts a longing eye to the American Canaan. Once let down bars and chairs, the quotas of dress drawn. The quotas of all countries are so filled that it will be at least five years before the names of some persons will be reached. In 1925 I met a young Belgian who had his name on him for two years before him and his name had not yet been reached. Natives Get Work First I hope I have made clear the absolute idificiousness and unavailableness of going to the work and purposely refrained from saying that in every one of these countries a foreigner must hold a permit from the Minister of Labor in order to get a job. In France where there is a minimum of 100 jobs, the job first and then applies for the permit. The employer must then show that the foreigner is doing work that a Frenchman cannot ordinarily do. Foreigners doing business are required to employ a certain high percentage of natives. Stenog Barred Here's a test: Let anyone who contemplates going to Europe in search of work say so when he applies to the consulate of the United States, and then he simply would not get it. Recently an American girl clever at stenography, told the English immigration officers at Southampton that she had come to see Europe by working her way, and she was promptly refused permission to do so. In France there is considerably more freedom. Actors, singers, and others, as I understand, may land and then get permission to work, but in England such persons must get a visa if they intend giving it. Europe, so far as the Negro is concerned, are only for those who have been in the past in land and hives. Paul Robeson, Lawrence Brown, Zaldee Jackson, Ettel Waters and a few others. All the other members of the Negro community participation is kept with the result that the European, in almost every field is usually a more finished workman, than the American. More time is spent in the field of employment achieved. As a field of employment Europe is only for the musician or the entertainer, and at that there is no work of work while others barely exist. Europe is for the tourist and those engaged in intellectual and artistic work. Along these lines it cannot be said that Europe is a charm, a repose, a variety of life that makes America seem flat and dull in comparison, even though the continental contrasts. Most American Europe want to go back again and again, and there are many who would not think of returning to Europe, and we are not speaking of Negroes. As to the latter it will have an added charm for them for if they have a friend, and as to the first ones find themselves absolutely free for the first time. But if one goes there to make his living without money to keep him there he will find that he is not alone. He is from quite another to have something with which to enjoy it. This experience, by the way, is a most valuable one for the Nervous Person, and never gets an opportunity to realize the power of money. The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly the Negro. I fancy that there are millions of Europeans who would be willing to change places with him, because he is so pleasant admission to make not so much because it gives comfort to the oppressors but because as a group, he is not afraid and apathetic. If the destiny that brought the Negro to America was bizarre, it is none the less powerful, and he cannot escape now. His tastes lively and even in luxuries hold him a captive. Only Natives Content The only Negro workers who are content in Europe are those who come from North Africa or from lands of a lower economic level than Europe. Hence the Negro American who intends intermingling with slaves almost in other country must make up his mind to sacrifice much. No freedom was ever obtained without sacrifices and it seers to me that the fittest place to make the sacrifices is here, where one is reasonably sure of getting a return and with compound interest.

Educo Club to Honor R. M. Moss at a Smoker: The Christmas Spirit Among Society Elite All-Pervading this Year. Dear Pansy: Well here is December coming in with ice and steel, frost, and bits of snow, and bringing with it the most exciting and enjoyable month of the year—a month that carries with it certain expressive characteristics for the socially inclined. It marks the swallowing up of the fall season by the beginning of the winter season and is the send-off of the final month of the year. Social folks seldom find time to look back and lament the sorrows of the old year but rush forward to imbibe things-leavened griefs and clories of the past behind them. Reminiscences of former winter seasons bring to mind many brilliant and interesting happenings, will be a great source of events for the winter, bespeak a larger season, with grand and glorious affairs to be afforded in plenty. The Annual Debutante Ball, followed by extensive entertaining, will be held on Saturday, December 11th, Christmas. A number of inuptal parties are being looked forward to with pleasure before the new year Bridge inchions are being planned for the spring and last, but not least, a long line of informal hops for the coming-home of the college boys and girls will be among the pleasurable side issues of this month and next. But let's take a look at what has recently taken place around the so-called The Thanksgiving Game. Pansy, my dear, the thousands of folks that crowded into the stadium at Philly to witness the annual classic between the Blue and White and the Lincoln Lions on Thanksgiving Day, was really overwhelming. The day was cold and the atmosphere heavy, but seemingly everybody that could get to Philly and into that stadium by fair or foul game wasarmed with the equipment on that day. See, dearie, it had been predicted that the previous New York game between Hampton and Lincoln would throw a damper on the game, but there was no evidence that it did. But the game. The Bisons and Lions faced each other—cach side looking confident. The referee raised his hand—a hush—a complete silence—the perfectly splendid fight began. Encouraging cheers from the dense crowd reached the players' ears and filled them with determination to On and on they played. Pansy, with neither of the teams letting the other score—but yet they left and no one continued to follow, their and continued to boost them on—jumping out of their seats with excitement. Not less interesting was the intermission with the pronouncing—part and part and part, another part strutting around the grandstand, a most appropriate time for a full view of the latest fashions in street dress and sport attire. Few of the fashions were decked in bear skin overcoats, raccoon and camel hair ulcers, with a number of them even wearing hats to match their coats. Some of the same shade. I mean they were dressed, and looked way out of this world. In fact, they had it all over the onions on this trip so far as fashion, they were dressed, and looked grand in their Hudson skins trimmed with squirrel and squirrel turbans on their heads; cloth coats with rich shoulders fur collars and cuffs and long draped skirts hanging in all points below their coats as the men whispered to each other as the fair sex intentionally passed them. All the dresses are all However, with neither team beating the other, the event was a victorious one ending with oodles and oodles of glorious affairs where sport dresses, afternoon dresses, covered legs long red gowns, red lips and painted cheeks inside the men forget their proud selves for the time, to gain a smile or perhaps a kiss, a look of encouragement or out of from the charming damsels those who were there from Baltimore were: Odelle Watkins, Gwendolyn P.

A nice bunch all Stomach Disorders First Revealed by Coated Tongue Your tongue is nothing more than the upper end of your stomach and intestines. It is the first thing your doctor looks at. It tells at a glance the condition of your digestive system—and physicians say that 90% of all sickness starts with stomach and bowel trouble. A coated tongue is a danger signal of those digestive disorders which lead to so many kinds of serious illness. It tells why the least exertion tires you out; why you have pains in the bowels, gas, sour stomach, dizzy spells. Coating on the tongue is a sign that you need Tanlac—the medicine who were physical wrecks from stomach and bowel troubles—who had "tried everything" in vain and about given up hope. Tanlac contains no mineral drugs; it is made of barks, herbs and roots. Get a bottle from your drugstreet today. Your money back if it doesn't help you.

The first was by the famous Fees Williams and his orchestra musicians while the second was by the Pete Richm-nd, who boast of playing equal to Duke Ellington's famous orchestra. Fess Back Again Playing a most wicked style of jazz, Fess Williams and his most versatile aggregation of musicians gave another of their most pleasing programs: dance music for local folk, at the New Alber. auditorium Monday evening. Giving an exhibition rare to the eyes and ears of local dance patrons, Fess wielded the baton, seemingly causing his orchestra to reac as if they were bewitched by his art in directing. When not leading the band, the leader demonstrated easily that he was master of the saxophone and clarinet. Maybe he didn't play, and maybe the lad's especially not look at him as if he were a God. To the members of the organization goes much praise for their wonderful co-operation with Mr. Williams. To tell the truth, they are about the most responsive group of musicians, to the will of the director's baton, that have been here this season. Mr. Gamby, promoter of the affair, also deserves much credit for bringing to the local folk such good entertainment. Much power to Mr. Gamby. the member chiefs; Henry (Hank) Duncan, chiefs; Greggelo Felix, Hank Brown, Perry Smith, saxophones; Ralph Bed- drum; drums; Emanuele; Ralph Bed- drum; saxophone; Fergie Kenneth pumpets; David (Jell) James, trombone; Oliver Blackwell, benjo, and Fess Williams, director.

The Happy Pals got away big from the start, and from the Virginia, will hold their own in any battle of music. Ik Dixon was the promoter of the affair. Promises have been made both by the happy Gamby to make efforts to bring the great Duke Ellington and his famous Cotton Club orchestra at the first opportunity. These two promoters, who work singly, are drawn in their efforts to give the most the best orchestras that are on the roe.

God called her so suddenly from us, he needed her then, just that day; Rebecca laid down her life work immediately. And her master she willingly obeyed. Her life here was so cheerful and happy. A kind word and smile she gave all, But she is happier still in her heavenly home And we will meet her when God gives us our call. By her loving husband, sisters and brother, Catonsville, Md. PARKER—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear mother. Eliza Parker, who departed this life six years ago today, December 2, 1923. Whose love can equal the love of mother. Whose devotion so loyal and true; Who suffers so much with such love for another. Until she is not around; And never know her value. Until she is under the ground. Always try to cheer her. And keep her from being in need; Remember that she reared you. As the earth did the seed. You may learn to love some one, That is fond and true; But you never can love As your mother loves you.

Unair attitude throughout the trial. IT'S ALIMONY OR JAIL, JUDGE TELLS TEACHER Vocational School Instructor Must Pay $19 Weekly to Wife. David Under Fire So unprecedented was the court's action in trying to force; the state to withdraw its case and in its general attitude toward the state as reported in the newspaper. The Bar Association instituted an investigation of the entire affair as soon as the trial was over. Judge Joseph David, resilient his lack of prejudice and knowledge of the case, had been criticized for his exhibitions of temper. Before nole pressing the cases Mr. Leoch read the following statement: "Up to this time in this trial the state has offered for the consideration of the jury, the testimony of twenty persons, and the testimony of one car participated in the chase and shooting which resulted in the death of Octavius C. Granady. Saw Driver Shoot "One witness has testified that a large man sitting on the right side of the driver in said car was firing at the Granady car. One witness on the screen of the killing has testified that a man of the height and weight of Lk. Carroll was present at the killings. Granady with a gun in his hands. "Two witnesses have testified that in their best judgment the squad car which participated in the chase was the rare car that came back on the road. On which last named witnesses is a mechanic with years of experience in dealing with Cadillac cars, and who testified that the car was a model 314 of the year 1927, which state police said was the records of the Police Department. "The statement of the defendants Michael Loughney, which has been introduced and read into the record corroborates the witnesses who said that Leutenant Carroll's squad was that Blue Island when the trouble started Eight Witnesses "In addition to the above, the state has offered the testimony of eight witnesses, all of whom have testified that Detective J. McCormick was in the squad car during the chase, and one of whom testified that Carroll was firing at the Granandy car and another identifies him at the scenes of the killing. The witness testified that Detective J. McCormick only had previously testified concerning facts pertinent to this case. "The state feels that it has not only a prima face case but a case which should convince any jury of the truth in the indictment in this matter. "In view of the fact that in spite of the foregoing testimony the court has repeatedly said in open court any verdict of guilt which might be returned by the jury against the defendants, or any of them, and in view of the fact that the abuse which has been heaped upon counsel and witnesses for the state in this case has become tolerable, the court will continue with this case would amount to keeping a jocked up for several days longer while five of the defendants are walking the street, and any verdict that he should turn in would be a mere guilty in view of Your Honor's offended statement that he would immediately set it aside. we feel that it would be unfair to the jury and to the taxpayers to further refuse to pay the jury that the state enter a no plea prosecution as: we accordingly do now move the court to enter a no plea prosecution in this case as to all of the defendants."
