The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 21, 1929 CURACAO, Dutch West Indies. (OCS.) — The immigration of foreign-born Negroes into Venezuela has been absolutely prohibited by law and those already resident in the country will be permitted to return once they leave. The wives anffid children of Negroes who are resident in Venezuela will not be permitted to enter the country to join their husbands or fathers. Foreign Negroes already are permitted to travel from place to place under strict police supervision, and must carry several documents, such as passports, vaccination and identity certificates and police perms. They will produce any one of which will render them liable to instant deportation. 8.000 In Ore Fields This new law has been under consideration by the government for some time and is based on the fact that since the opening up of the big cities, particularly during the last five years, thousands of Negro laborers, artisans, chauffeurs an' female domestics, lured by the high wages paid in the oil region have swarmed into Maracabo from Maracao, and other cities West Indian islands until by now there must be something like 8,000 or 10,000 of them located in and around Maracabo. A Negro female cook, who in her native Trinidad considers herself lucky to earn $5 or $6 a month, can earn $30 to $35 in Maracabo; while Negro clerks, who usually earn no more than $10 a month, Trinidad, can start at $10 or more and rise to $200 a month after a few years' service. The Venezuelan Government takes the view that the oil field is robbing a Venezuelan worker of the oil fields is robbing a Venezuelan worker of a job — this despite the fact that practically every Venezuelan round about Maracabo now depends either directly or indirectly on the oil industry for his livelihood. Send Earnings Home There is, however, one particularly vital point which the government had in mind when framing the new law, and that is the fact that whereas the native Venezuelan worker spends a large portion of his foreign Negro spends no more than the bare necessities of life demand and remits a substantial sum home to his native island every month. The monthly remittances of the Negro element from Maracabo to Tenerife amount to more than many thousands of dollars, which in the eyes of the Venezuelan Government, tends to diminish the country's prosperity. 80 per cent from Venezuela. Use the information contained in concessions foreign oil companies operating in Venezuela are oblicited to have at least 80 per cent Venezuelans in their employ, but the government contends that this requirement is not being adhered to, and could well also been a诱惑 to the formulation of the new decree.

Liberia—The African World reports a plot to underline the Republic of Liberia, discredited. The Liberian government had granted one of the leading groups of foreign merchants the privilege of removing free packages consigned to them.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN FIRE HERO TOOK OUT FOUR WHITE GIRLS ONE TRIP Lewis Allen, O'Connor Paper Co. Employee, Saves Six. RESCUES THRILL Men Tell Afro of Seeing Girls Dash to Death. With two girls clinging on his back and two screaming under his arms, Lewis Allen, 45, 1347 Stockton street, wrote his name on the scroll of heroes by bearing them three stories to safety when a fatal fire in the O'Connor Paper Company plant burned five to death and injured 15, Monday. Returning a second time he seized two other frantic girls and more them down. Attempting to enter for the third time he was overcome with black smoke. Thrilling Rescues Allen, who was employed at the plant to unload elevators, told the AFRO-AMERICAN that he was at work on the second floor on which floor the fire started, when he heard screams as the fire spread rapidly. Running to the third floor he found about 30 frilled girls, screaming, some in terror. Sensing at once that they were too frightened and terrified to be led out, he started to take them. It was then that he down with the first load of four. Mr. Allen is married and has two children, Johnnie and Eva, two adults, Sam and Sean, and two children for four years and came here from Jacksonville, Fla. He recounted how he saw three girls dash out of the window, one of them on a fire engine three stories tall. Others Help Other men who carried, or led in some instances, the 20 frenzied girls to safety from the three upper floors were: George Jackson, 623 W. 844 Rutland avenue; Andrew Dixon, 1010 Mosher street; Clarence Stevens, 668 Sarah Ann street; Raymond Barber, 1362 Striker street; Clarence Robinson; William Perry, 623 N. Spring street; William Perry, 623 N. Spring street; George Clark, 1625 Caret street, and Mack Lever, 1457 Carey street. Fire started in the building which was stocked with waste paper, in some unknown manner about 10:30 a.m. There are chutes running through the workers use to send down paper which they have sorted. The flames got into these chutes; and in a few moments all four floors were in full blaze. Most of the flames were on the building on the first and second floors escaped by way of stairs. But flames blocked the stairways leading to the third and fourth floors. The employees, mostly women, were on the fire-filled stairs. Others unable to reach them, hung out the windows waiting for someone to save them. Several jumped from the windows as the fire closed in on them. Some missed the firemen's stairs. Others missed the nets and fell to the street or atop fire engines. Tells of Fire George Clark recited: "I was unloading a truck when the alarm spread, looked at the women all filled with historical women. I ran into the building to the second floor and led several out, but when I started to return to the building, I saw a pregnant woman. Approximately 20 women were aided by Albert Matthews and Andrew Dixon, who hastily formed a rescue team. They barked at the women from injuring themselves by dropping, they stood in the truck and caught the women as they losened even more. Stevens stood on the ground helping them from the truck to prevent jamming. Raymond Barber and Clarence Riley both peeled as a team, loading women on the upper floors in the elevator until flames halted them, and taking them to the first Holiday Cheer Other Spirits than Christmas.

ELSEWHERE SYRACUSECO-EDS REFUSE TO OUST BALTIMORE GIRL Sorority Tells National Body to Do its Worst to Local Body. ELECTED ON MERIT University Faculty Behind College Chapter. By T. WARREN GRAHAM SYRACUSE, N. Y.—Defying efforts of the national organization as well as those of individual members of outside chapters to force them to expel from their roster a colored student whom they initiated two years ago, co-ed members of Pi Lambda Theta, professional pedagogical society of Syracuse University, declared that they would rather face expulsion charges themselves than to take the step. The controversy between the Syracuse chapter, the second in the organization of the society, and national headquarters was brought to our attention. This when it was discovered that the white Syracuse co-eds had initiated as one of their members, Miss Edythe Dorsey, a colored student in the College of Liberal Arts, who graduated from the Hill with high honors last June. Miss Dorsey, who is the ward of Misses Caroline and Henrietta Crawford, and Mrs. Baldwin Baltimore, was valedictorian of the Douglass High School graduating class of 285 in 1925, finishing in three and one-half years. During her time she maintained an "A" average. She was elected to three honorary and scholastic societies, including Phi Beta Kappa. When she was vice-president of the Cosmopolitan Club. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey, of Atholton, Elected on Merit Miss Mary Panellis, white, another senior co-ed, who was president of the Hill Chapter until several months ago, explained the situation. She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa as well as a number of other honorary societies, was elected to membership in Phi Lambda Theta late in 1927, her first semester in college, and did not consider her color in making the choice, which was based entirely on personality and scholastic achievements. There was nothing in the constitution of the organization, and the University of Missouri is: 1917, to prevent her election, she said. Color Line Inserted It was not until the next year that Syracuse members learned that the sorority had made a racial discrimination in the annual convention of that year. It was that Miss Dorsey was not a white student that was not discovered by officers of the national society until several months ago, when several of the objecting members made their comments. Officers have been in communication with the Hill chapter on a number of occasions but the Syracuse group, backed by Miss Grace Bull, Prof. Helene Hartley and Miss Jennette M. Stafford of the faculty, all unanimously have refused to take expulsion, steps. Can Go Limit Miss Hinckley and Miss Fenelli both declared that they were ready to let the fraternity take their steps designed to not disturb the Syracuse group nor, under any circumstances, agree to the expulsion of Miss Dorsey.

Will not Expel Member While the gational officers of the fraternity are now probing the situation to determine what steps should be taken to ensure that individual members, principally from the Southern chapters, have declared that they will resign rather than be colored graduate.

The Hill chapter, at the same time, was warned against accepting any other colored members of the organization until late summer.

C.—President Hoover was urged on December 12 by Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., (Rep. of Garrison, N.Y.) a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, at a conference with the President at the White House to appoint at least one Negro in the proposed commission to Haiti. Representative Fish suggested the name of Emmett J. Scott, secretary and treasurer of Howard University, to Welder Johnson, secretary of the A.A.C.A.P., or Representative Oscar DePriest, all of whom are well qualified. Civilian Commissioner I had that h. hoped that a civil commission, with extensive experience, who not to impatiety with the Haitian but who could also help solve difficult political and economic problems, would be appointed in the future. Representative Stephen G. Porter Representative chairman of the for-affairs committee, favorably reported to the House providing 65,000 for a commission to study and review the policies of United States in Haiti, by President Hoover. Preceding the report of the resolution, the foreign affairs committee held an open hearth. Undersecretary Joseph P. Cotton interviewed Joseph C. Johnson, committee that the treaty will be enforced in 1936 and that it is timely for Congress to formulate a policy with respect to the military should be together in or near of Haiti. Not Certain of Getting Out "It is the purpose to leave Haiti an independent government?" asked Representative Henry Allen Cooper, Dr. Wesley. Students' proposal, replied Mr. Cotton, "does not indicate what is proposed to be done with Haiti. It has proposed to Congress that it create a commission to go there and remain the facts and out where it is to do." E. S. Hasn't Made Good Representative Sol Bloom (Dem.) asked what had been done in the suggestions made in the Senate to Senator Medill M. which investigated conditions Haiti in 1922. Bloom stated that he could not any difference in conditions in 1926 and the conditions there Mr. Cotton admitted that changes were not rapid. Lithiumium Objects The text of the resolution was criticized by Representative Charles Lintheim (Dem. Ma.) at point of view. Mr. Cotton, who does not even call for a 'report, nor study of conditions' The resolution provides that the commission is to study and review the policies of the National City Bank and to a discussion of Haiti's $19,000.-.000 debit, it was brought out that the indebtedness is mostly to individuals in the United States and that that bank here are hold privately by the National City Bank of New York. Not Much Expected Representative Fish predicted that much the same as the 1922 Senate committee report. He stated, however, that he would vote for the resolution. U. S. Exolution Representative George Huddleston, Dem. Ala.), reneged his attack on Haitians Want Highly Paid U.S. White Profs. Sent Home Natives Insist English Speaking Teachers be Supplanted by those Who Can Talk French. WASHINGTON, D.C. — (CNS.)—Since the present Haitian troubles, leading to martial law and the firing on the people at Aux Ouest originated with a strike at the Dauphin school, the American inquiry suggested by President Hoover, probably will center at the school in the Service Technique. It is charged that nearly a dozen instructors of the Damien Agricultural School or practical extension work administered by the Service Technique are drawing good wages and expense money from Haitian taxpayers while unable to speak French, and are otherwise unfit for their work among the natives. The usual practice of the competent instructors is not to appear at classes at all, but to write out their lectures and have them translated for the students by assistants. Draw $4,000 Salaries The white professors accused of being unable to speak the students' language include Dr. Hawk, an expert on professional instruction, salary $4000, teaching with $5000, Mackinon, agriculturist, $4000; Dunbar, assistant chemist, $4000; Scarborough, expert on rural teaching, $4000; Stadmiller, forestry expert, $4000; Scott, general farm expert, $4000; Leonard, coffee specialist, $5000; Leonard, agriculturist, $4000. Another half dozen instructors, all drawing salaries of about $4000, arrived just as the school was closed by the students. The skiers originally tried to oust Georges Fouche Freeman, white, U.S. head of the school, whose salary is $10,000 a year, but when shown a clause in his contract that he would continue in the salary he offered, if outsteered, the students dropped their demand. They stoned his house, however. Boughton, veterianian; Martin, marketing expert; Vision, chemist; Dosier, entomologist, and several others, praised for their work in school. Want Haitians "Some of the inefficient men can be replaced by Haitians," said Schiller Nicolas, president of the committee of employees. "We have to work with the driving men capable of working into their places, but we haven't obtained a change." The Porter Resolution. (Favorably Reported in House Saturday.)

RUSSIA CARTOONS U.S. MASSACRE IN HAITI One Drawing Shows" Huge Uncle Sam Setting on Tiny Negro. Says U.S. Engineered Recent Patriotic Outbreak. WASHINGTON, D.C. (CNS.) — The Haitian situation is being watched with keen interest by European nations as it is the current belief on the continent that the revolt in theattle Republic is aimed directly at American interference with domestic rule. The press of Paris and Moscow are particularly outspoken. Russian Cartoon A Soviet cartoonist pictures an enormous Uncle Sam swaiting a tiny Negro on a table like a fly with the finger on the inringe on the Kellogg Peace Pact. The cartoon's title is "Righteous Wrath." Another presents a cartoon of a bird on a hand, above which wave; the American flag, putting an automatic pistol to his head. The title of the cartoon is "Stimson Varies His Note." The army's paper follows the same line but there a Negro, bound to the mouth of a cannon, holds the Kellogg pact and looks reproachfully at Uncle Sam. The "Kellogg Pact Does not Apply." French Comments The Paris Soir charges that the recent insurrection in Haiti was engineered by the American authorities for the withdrawal of troops, and claims that American influence in Haiti is disastrous in every respect. Liberate the rarely in agreement with the Soir in reviewing the history of the last thirteen years says: "We are told that a commission to be sent to study the situation; but holders and ships are being sent first." WASHINGTON, D. C. — The contract for the transfer of 200 colored Federal prisoners to the custody of the Georgia Prison Commission for road construction in Chatham County Georgia, led to the introduction of a new prison guard, the Guardia, Republican of New York in the House last Saturday. The La Guardia resolution would direct the Attorney General to inform relative to Federal prisoners under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice Two Prison Bills Two bills introduced by Representative John J. Boylan, Democrat, of New York, also deal with Federal prisoners. One of them provides for the reorganization of the administration of Federal prisons and authorizes the Attorney General's contract for the administration of United States prisons and to establish Federal jails. The other bill provides for the diversification of employment for Federal prisoners and for each of the schools in trades and occupations. U.S. Cruiser Quits Haiti; WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Cruiser Galveston, ordered to Haiti during the recent disturbances, was released December 17 and sailed for the U.S. The curfew law which has been in force for two weeks has been suspended but martial law remains.

Wagner, (Dem, N.Y.) called upon the senate to explain of its action in leasing 200 colored federal prisoners to the state of Georgia for road construction work.

England.—Although the Liberian government denies slavery exists there, Lady Simon of Bristol has published, estimates that there are between 100,000 and 500,000 slaves in Liberia. She also figures that there are between 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 slaves in the world today and that the slave trade still continues in many parts of the world, including China, Abyssia, and Liberia. Abyssinia. Worse Absynisia, with some 2,000,000 slaves, Lady Simon thinks, is the chief offending country. The economic system of the nation is based on slave raiders. "They begin first with the slave raider," she says. "who is a merciless man-hunter. raiding a village, killing without mercy those who offend those whom he intends to sell to the slave traders." "Major Darley has described a Dr. Stephen J. Lewis Columbus, Shipwrecked there at Christmas Time in 1492. WASHINGTON, D.C., (CNS.) Haiti is pictured by the National Geographic Society's report as a and where Columbus established the first white settlement in the new world and where his ship was wrecked. The report reads in part: "To avoid confusion, it must be explained at the outset that the name Haiti is used sometimes to denote the entire island, which is the second largest mass in the West Indies and sometimes to denote the mainland of Haiti, which occupies the western third of its area. The possibilities of confusion are increased by the fact that the island is also known as Santo Domingo and San Domingo; names applied literally to the Dominican Republic which occupies the eastern two-thirds of the land unit." KILLING REVEALS MAN POSED FOR YEARS AS WOMAN Annabelle Jones, Dead, Turns Out to be John Hill. High Land "The name 'Haiti' is much used because it was the descriptive term, meaning 'high land', given to the island by its aborigines. This was the favorite island of the West Indies to Columbus, who reserved for it the most complimentary land he ever observed. Hisnarope, which he discovered in 'Little Spain'. Garden of Eden "Something of the impression which this beautiful and promising island made on the great discoverer can be gleaned from the reference 'Eden' by the fact that he named the point at which he set foot on Haiti, December 8, 1492, the 'Vale of Paradise'. "Columbus's ship Wrecked" "History has been prodigal to the island of Haiti and has crowded one interesting and treacherous land, in India, a relatively short span of years since the eve of white men first beheld its towering peaks. On its northern coast, near the present Cape Holland, Columbus to the new world, was wrecked on Christmas Eve, 1492, and from its broken historic boards was set up by the crew the first structure built on the island. Western Hemisphere This was the fortress of Navidad, in which the men of the Santa Maria were killed while Columbus was on his return voyage to Spain, to report the making discovery of the Indies." First Settlement "Farther to the east, on the northern coast of the island, Columbus built on his return the first white settlement in the new continent, the city of Santo Domingo for the queen had made his voyage of discovery possible. On this trip Columbus brought with him to this magic island a great fleet bearing a large number of vessels. After defeating the natives the conquerors built the city of Santo Domingo—first permanent city established by Europeans in America, — for many years the most important outpost of Western civilization."

The little babies, when the mothers are too weak to carry them, are strapped two and three together on the mules. Thus they reach the slave market where they are sold to the traders. Families are broken up never to meet again. They are sold into a life of hopeless misery which ends only with the grave. "The punishments are terrible. I have a picture of a slave in a stoleous dress. His hand for him had been cut off and he was thrown into the market place to die in terrible suffering. "Children in Hong Kong, China, are still bought and sold although this is British territory and there is a law against slavery. In slavery, 15 or 16 children are 15 or 16 years old."

SHREVEPORT, La. — The fatal thud of a bullet, which thud of a drinking party Wednesday night passed through the body of Annabelle Jones led to the subsequent discovery that "Annabelle" was a he-man.

The ears, terns nose and cheeks resemble those of a woman who has lived under a mental strain while the hands mouth and chin are masculine in the absence of wig, rouge and jewelry.

"Resolved not to take lessons in shoe-shining. ‘Haitian youth one hundred and fifty strong went ‘on a strike. They wanted a say about who is to teach, what shall be the subjects and the amount of pay. Freeman's $10,000 to teach students hose parents get 50 cents a day in wages, was Yoo much for the young men of Haiti. Freeman told a committee that if they did not like it to “get out.” ‘They got "They were joined by students of the College of Law, and the College of Applied Science and paraded the streets in an orderly manner bear~ Sng placards protesting against the Freeman ad ministration and the impotence of Haiti. ‘As the paraders passed Freeman's house, he stopped out on the balcony and fired into’ the crowd. ‘That one act inflamed all Haiti and united st as it has never been before since thé days it fon independence from Napoleon of France.

Tt is important to note that this protest comes trom the young people of Haiti. German university students were responsible for the revolution of 1948, which spread over Europe. Chinese students inaugurated the move~ ment to expeli foreigners from their country sev- eral yeats ago, and now Haiti hinges its hopes for freedom upon the strong shoulders and the clear vision of its schoo! boys and girls. ‘la Press, Port au Prince newspaper, said No- vember 27: “at the gate of the city, and in the streets, people were amazed to see how well behaved the Students were. ‘They represented young Haiti re- belling passively against its oppressors.” ‘Mr. Hubert Alexis, Haitian lawyer, in a letter Jast week to Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, himself a_ native Haitian, said: “The Haitian youth, uncompromising, _in- tends perfas or ne pas to bring about an ac- counting. It would be well if Negroes every- where would say or do something in behalf of the Haitian youth.” ‘That's a challenge that should ring across the Caribbean and over the Atlantic, It should arouse not only the Negro youth but also the white youth of America. ‘Our rape of Haiti is far worse than Germany's frightfulness in Belgium.

He has visited most of the countries of that continent with jan eye keen 1 the presence and placement. of the Negro. Reports have been made to the weekly Negro press, ‘which give us the most com= prehensive, and enlightened view yet Nouch-safed on that subject It is to be hoped that he will embody his observations and experiences in the more permanent form of a published olume, Some years ago Dr. Booker it Washington visited Burope for the Outlook magazine to study the rela~ ve ‘condition. of the American Ne- fgro and the European peasant. “The Man. Farthest Down” embodies the Tesults of nis observations and re~ Rections. Mr, Rogers has with great rec [search and pains peinted out more of less eminent Negroes who have functioned in. varied ways during the past twe thousand years in, the different capitals of Europe, | All of these instances have been lost with- out trace. After two thousand years lof incidental and desultory contact, the Negro has made no abiding im- pression upon Burope, and Europe ha. made no abiding impression upon him. Europe and Africa stand today fac~ ing cach other a if not 2 single Ne~ jaro had ever transferred trom the Black to the white continent, After twenty eenturies, a hendful of blacks fhay been absorbed by four hundred million whites, but they furnish no hint of the solution of the problems lof ten million Afro-Americans “nor for any other considerable group of Neeroes now scattered abroad on the | face of the earth ' Amalgamation a Slow Process. ‘Mr. Rogers is disposed to, make mich of the incidental fact ‘that | these Negroes have been | absorbed, which he feels furnishes a key to the solutlon of the universal race prob- jem. He seemingly ignoes the ele- ment of time required to absorb any considerable body of diverse peoples. Two thousand years would indeed be short time. to anialgamate ten rmititon Nexeoes in America, It would require like time to amalgamate ten milion Chinamen in England of Germany. Me. Rogers seems .0 be beguited by the ignis fatuus of amal~ Jramation, which he awaits as the great consummation devoutly to be wished, Mr. Rogers _aerees wholly with Rooker T. Washington in the view that the ‘American Neero need not ook for a placement, in the indus- rial and. eeanomic. life of Europe. ‘This ‘oroposition iss. self-ovident | that it needs no demonstration and: scarcely meri’ statement. ‘Burope is the most thiekly ponu- lated continent on the elobe. “It is the abode of the white race. the most:denamic and progressive of all the children of men. ‘They sind their confines foo small “for thelr own foreed and during the past four hun- dred vears, have been pushing ove the borders into the lesser breeds in fall parts of the globe, ‘There has heen no Buronean. immigration. for there has been room for none, Whites Dominate Lesser Breeds. By reason of his arrogance and domineering spirit, the ‘white man fhas. dominated the other races and made them do his rough and heavy work. He will neither combine wit darker and Weaker workmen nor per- mit them to compete with him. The lonly adjustment tolerable as been that, of slavery or Industrial subor- dination. ‘The idea of any consider- lable body of off-colored people in- truding’ themselves upon the indus- frlal life of any country in Europe is simply unthinkable. ‘the battle for bread ts the most forutal of all forms of conflict. France, England, Germany or Italy would fnot dream of permitting any’ sizeable number of non-whites to compete with their own sons for bread in their home territory. Negro travelers and sojourners 'n Europe are apt to be carried away by the ordinary courtesy which every hospitable people extend to strang- ers, When an Afro-American recelves ordinary amenities in a foreign land. lhe 1s so overwhelmed by the con- trast with his treatment at home that he too often mistakes formal sourtesy for fondness. When France lor Ttaly treats a Negro tourist with, font harshness, that does not imply {that they desire him as thelr neigh- bor. companion, or fellow _country— nia. Tolerance for the exceptional man’ does nol mean acceptance ot the multitude. ‘it seems to me that our European tourists ‘make @ grave mistake in Jover-dramatizing, thelr courteous re- fecotion inthe European centers, by contrasting their forelgn reception feith. thelr treatment received at home. Tt all helps to convince. the foreinn hosts that the Negro's home treatment is the kind he expects. & gentleman never boasts of ordinary Eivilities or amenities, He takes tac:n for granted. : Unheralded Negroes Treated Civilly. ‘Mr. Robert 8.

(CNS) - A number of experts have gone into a huddle here to determine whether "Othello," the celebrated playwright's complexion sun tan, emohed, or just a general dust color. Several actors have appeared in Several actors have appeared in the character here recently and all differ as to the Marshall of the Civic Opera Compty, has envisioned the Moor of Venice as an individual of coal black complexion. Tyrone Power, who is Othello in *Tyrone Power*, the Company at the Civic Theatre, enacts the Moor in coffee-tar. A pair of Iagos—Cesara Formik of the opera and Fritz Leben of the company called in to offer their opinions. The result of the conference is awaited with some degree of confidence, because students have "perplexed by the question of the Moor's make-up." IN D. C.

Only Eight of Forty Stage Stars Reported Present for Program. ARRANGEMENT POOR Patrons Fail to See Mother of Late Star. BJ CHAPPY GARDNER NEW YORK, (Special), — A broken-hearted mother, who had seen her daughter climb the stairs and her name was the toast of continents, sat almost unnoticed, at the Casino Theatre Sunday night, where the Florence institution staged a benefit performance. Stars of both races had been advertised, a number being secured by Luckeychuck Roberts, and a number being secured by Roberts' stars on the bill that saved the entire affair from utter rout. For at times everything went wrong and needed to know who was coming on next — the pit orchestra seemed to know only one tune — and the confusion waxed too much. The large audience loudly demanded to be "Goo Jangles" Bill Robinson in action. A few minutes later after some spirited singing, the ensemble spiritual numbers by Hall Johnson's Choir and Matt Housley's Jubilee Singers of New Orleans; the master of ceremonies hastily announced "Go Polly." Financially, the affair looked like a success, judging from the crowd. But there must rest some dark brown tastes in the mouths of sincere patrons who will attempt to program arranging and serious omissions of the flesh and brain. Eight of Forty Appear Just why eight of Forty or eight performers billed showed is not explained by the committee. And there might be headaches trying to figure out just why the devoted mother of Florence Mills was not given a chance to be added to the Browne crowd of patrons. Admittedly faulty in many respects the actors' efforts of Sunday night must be taken seriously as the first step in a very big game to do some real work in permanent or large number of unaid and much abused Negro actors. New York Thespians Present Two Plays Utopia Players Aplauled in Special Performance at Y.W.C.A. NEW YORK—The Utopia Players, organized and directed by Gladys Mac Donald, offered to their patrons and friends a complimentary presentation of two one-set plays in the auditorium of the Y.W.C.A. where appreciable audience was assembled. The first play, "For Distinguished Service," was performed by Miss Mildred Burch, Murch Vera Ramous, and Rose Wale, who played in delight in role as the apex of the "eternal triangle"—the woman to whom the neglected and seemingly unromantic husband goes for sympathy—and gets it. The wife who "strayed and payed" was admirably done by Miss Ramous, and the very efficient and all-seeing maid was played by Miss Rosie Swain. The second offering, "Passe" — a more dramatic wife and feelingly dramatic play—was enacted by Miss Gladys Mac Donald, William Poe, Vester Fowkes, Archer Freeland, Nathalie Mac Donald, and played by William Poe. Vester Fowkes had the part of the son who shoots the producer, whom he hears referring to his mother as passer. The producer was taken to the cold and played by the cold and detached air of his kind. Nathan Butt, in his role of the detective who couldn't be "folled," and Heilem as the comely maid of the household, completed this very excellent cast. RING BENEFIT FAILS LOS ANGELES, Calif.—The boxing benefit staged at the Elks Hall last week, for Dixie Kid, former boxer, catalytic and destitute, was a financial failure, less than 100 turning out. Friends, however, contributed some money to the event, but not to a total failure, and another attempt is to be made to raise money.

Pollard of the American Playground and Recreation Association did much to show the possibilities of the Negro in a practicable program of recreational and cultural activities could be worked out which would permit a closer articulation of the several strata of our social, religious, educational, and fraternity. The pageant as produced was remarkable in more ways than one, Setting aside fo' the nonce all of the imperfections and inconstructions, which even the wayfarer though he be a fool, might have seen, let us note of some of the worthwhile things which were more or less significant. To begin with, to get one thousand or more local participants to appear in a single night's program is no little undertaking. "But," some high school boys is his "particular virtue in numbers." The answer is at once both yes and no. Yes, if the numbers represent all of the citizenry—all classes and ages—as the numbers making the pageant a success did. Yes, if the numbers show the willingness to co-operate with the pageant did for the ultimate success of the affair. Yes, if the numbers are made of that type of citizen who has faith in himself and in his fellow man sufficient to urge him to carry out the consummation of the given enterprise. No, if the numbers comprising the group are just curious to see what it is all about, only to drop at the end of the book is made up of that type of citizen who wonders who is to receive monetary consideration for the part he or she plays in making the affair a success. Fortunately, in can be a truthful statement, but the cast of "Golden Racial Hours" represented all types of our finest citizens. The musicians of Baltimore were generously co-operative in furnishing in all instances vocal and instrumental parts, and contributed to the smoothness of the performance in providing a musical background. Charles Harris, conductor of the Municipal Band and the recently organized symphony orchestra, excelled music with his Commonwealth Band. A. Jack Thomas, with his Aeolian Choral Society gave very good vocal support. Mrs. Adelle Mrs. Carr sang solo numbers, Matthews Parson sang solo numbers, and greatly to the musical success of the affair. Mrs. Parson sang with her usual ease and grace and left her audience clamoring with more. Mrs. Carr's singing very well, and with continued work will make a very valuable addition to our far too few-really good vocalists. The freshness of the voices of the lazier Douglas High School choral groups added much to the vocal ensembles. Miles Connor, the busy principal of the Coppin Normal School and the newly established demonstration orchestra, had the orchestral effects by his excellency on his E-flat alto saxophone. It might be said in passing that Mr. Connor plays both the saxophone and the oboe. Oliver Pierce, another local musician of note lent his help. Nathaniel Hill, our best French horn player, was also noted to advantage in the orchestra. Oliver Pierce is very grateful to all who really made the orchestra a relevant feature of the performance.

THE N.A.A.C.P. ALL-STAR CONCERT. 188 What would one of have given to have seen and heard the all-star presentation of the N.A.A.C.P. benefit concert last Monday evening at the Forrest Theatre in New York, with its galaxy of the stage's best artists and list, that reads like a mare from Who's Who. his passion to begin with, there was Heywood Broun, most famous of columnists, who does "It Seems to Me" for the Scripps-Howard papers, acting as master of ceremonies. And such introductions he made! Clinton Webb, from the "Little Show," with Ralph Rainger as accompanist; Alberta Ellington, later returned from London trumpets in "Show Bowl"; Ellington and His Cotton Club Orchestra; Clara Smith, starring the St. Louis Blues, accompanied by Duane Crawford; Alberta Carroll, star of "Grand Street Folies"; impressed by Beatrice Llewis, Mayor Walker; and others. Miss Morley, accompanied him. Edward J. McNamara, who is starring in "Strickly Dishonorable" and Margaret Wycherley, in a play especially written for her by Allen Williams. Then there were George Gershwin, h赖slapstod in blue and composer for Broadway even unto Kamchatka; Libby Holman, who moans low, it. "The Little Show," accompanied by Rajin Ralinger, Babah and the Chocolates' girls; Edith Wilson, also of "Hot Chocolate," Daniel L. Haynes, "Hallelujah! Watin at the end of the performance before a fourteen-month world tour. And the patron list? you ask. Well, there were the Lowell Adams, the Bunga Dismonds, Miss Muriel Draper, Alfred Jaretzki, Jr., the J. Rosandon Johnson and the James Weldon Johnson, Alfred A. Knopf, and Dr. Mrs. Maurice J. Lippman, Miss Mary White Onting, Dr. C. B. Porter, the Paul Robesons, the Arinur B. Spingars, and the J. E. Spingars, Miss Aelia Walker, Edward Wasserman and four or five dozen others, quite as distinguished. Ah, yes, and Carl Van Vechten, who in his recent article, "Keep A-Inchir Along," says of the Negro artists: "When, thirty years ago, I first began to attend the Negro Theatre, it was possible to enjoy the entertainments of Williams and Walker or Sissistera Jones, the 'Black Patti,' or Cole and Johnson, or Ernest Hogan, no mean entertainments, to be sure. At the present day, however, the famous Negro stars on the concert stage, burlesque, motion picture, and legitimate stages of two continents are that merely to list them in small type would require a page or two. This gathering of distinguished artists, as a token of appreciation of the work of the N.A.A.C. W, was certainly a gala occasion. And what could have been more fitting than that the greatest talent of the race should make offering to the greatest work on our behalf by the greatest organization of the country—standing as it does, as a bulwark against oppression, against injustice against injustice of courts, as a defense for those unable to defend themselves. KEITH IS PEEVED? According to Variety, a few race acts, whose names were withheld, on the Keith chain, have rather peeved the managers and the booking office of And Maurice Mitchell (did you notice her likeness to Josephine Baker?) will kick around the city that week. Well, I know time won't hang heavy on that day. But she will keep her well balanced. Miss Alice Whitman, the youngest of the sisters, has a birthday on Christmas. Isn't that jolly? And she says she is sure they (the sisters) will give her a party. Wonder whether that's the same party Franco McLennan has given her. But there was just one of the whole troupe who expressed my idea of a swell Christmas and that was Willie Too-Sweet. When I asked that well known comedian what he was going to do Christmas, he said, "Just noth- me, too, brother," I returned, "and mighty appreciative for the privilege."

(ANP) — Due to the fact that "Lulu贝贝" broadway play with a cast of about seventy local people, packed the Belasco Theatre here every night for over a month, it is planned to reopen the big comedy-drama shortly.

CHARGE REPEATED Coles - Alleges Jim-Crow at Military Academy. A letter from L. F. Coles, 833 Lerland street, Philadelphia, printer of last issue, has the FRO-AMERET FRO-AMERET "Hell at West Point," brought him a barrage of two-five replets. In a letter to the AFRO, Monday, December 14, the letters coming from enlisted men of the United States Military Academy Detachment of Cavalry at West Point, damned him because he wrote the letters from enlisted men of the AFRO because it published it. Repeating his charges that there is segregation and discrimination at the United States Military Academy, the Poles said that Sergeant A. B. Jones said that they were not obvious reasons declared my letter false. But he lives in one of the quarters where there are no electric lights unless such lights have been installed with them. "There are electric lights in the quarters for the white sergeants." "Sergeant XX writes in to say that there is no segregation there, that they wanted a separate room for them, that they had it. I do not know whether they wanted it or not. So this is truth number two." "The U. S. Military Academy, Detachment, Court, organized in 1978. It hasn't any commissioned officers as yet. I suppose these noble sergeants are consoled in the fact that it is not yet time for them to be commissioned, but I hold the government in contempt for not having commissioned them. This is my privilege." "Sergeant S wants to kill me. "Sergeant R says that the other officer is an enlisted man and are getting along all right and do not wish to be disturbed by outsiders. He said that Parham had been given a chance to do something no other candidate had to do, namely, talk to a reporter. "I am writing him to say that this makes me suspicious of the whole matter, including Parham, for there has not been a sensation created before in the history of the school. I am opposed to making him a sight. People go up there and take his picture and carry: it away as souvenirs or as if he were not a human being. "Back in the 80's when Cadet Whitaker, of South Carolina, was hazed by the white cadets and the press was stirred all over the country, the authorities did not persecute. Why allow a state to make one? I wish he had the courage to say nothing. "If there is no truth in anything that I say, why are all these sergeants writing to me? That is a question I would like to have an answer. That is why I have not used their names. Medical Corps "The so-called medical corps does not seem fit, despite the fact that there are many doctors in it who use colored people for anything other than nurses and the doctors, probably more or less, clerks, an assistant X-Ray man and an assistant mechanical dentist, who are colored. "Some of the colored men who are doctors mop floors or clean nurses." "I am told that the women nurses, white, are all lieutenants and get paid as lieutenants. I do not know this to be true, but I do know that all the women nurses whom I saw in my three days at West Point bore the name "Sergeants O and U said I am meddling with the government's business. For their sake I will say I have received a number of letters from Senators and Congressmen and I know that there is something wrong at West Point. If it were not, more than three Negroes would have graduated from there. "I wish I could show all the services I have received, but it would be unfair of me since they will not permit me to use their names lest they be beheaded." In his letter to the AFRO last week, Mr. Coles cited the case of Serveant William War, who has been reduced from major to sergeant without being discharged from the army. Mr. Coles said that all of the first and second lieutenants and other colored officers who were sent to West Point who have been reduced were likewise reduced to non-cops.

RACES ARE DIVIDED IN OPINION OF ROBESON Whites Like Spirituals, but Chicago Negroes are Tired of Them. FORESEE RACE ISSUE Only Small Negro Group Hears Singer. CHICAGO—(ANP)—Perhaps the most significant effect of Paul Roberson's recital at Orchestra Hall Monday night has been the recurrent theme of the sides, "What did you think of it?" The white members of the medium-sized audience which listened to Roberson were estatic. They wanted him to sing almost every song over the entire piece, but the critics of the daily papers employed the most extravagant adjectives in praise of Roberson and some regretted that they had no more words to describe him. "black Chalapin," only, perhaps, better; to another, he possessed the "voice of a generation." But there was no such unanimity among the critics. In a program which consisted entirely of spirituals and folk songs, they were aware of none of the simple beauty of the songs or of Roberson's artistry. And then, many of the Negroes were apparently humiliated by the success of such a program. Because of this feeling among Negroes, Robeson, who doubtless doesn't care, will probably become an issue among his own people.

Bert Whitman, Subbing for Man, Liked Role and Stuck Woman, Impersonator of Male Character, Likes Feminine Things, However. Won't Confirm Rumor of Impending Marriage. Bert Whitman is going to get married. "When? you ask, and so do we, but to take the word of Frank McClennon, straight man with the Whitman Sisters' show, it will be early in the week for her male impersonations, gives a negative shake of the head when questioned on the matter, and says, "Sometime next year—maybe." I found Miss Whitman in her dressing room at the Royal Theatre last week—a dressing room with the usual female paraphernalia scattered here and there, and in this room a masculine glove, adding to the general impression of confusion. Asked about her first days on the stage, Whitman said, "That has been so long ago, I can't recall the roles I first played. But I've done everything from a Chinaman to a picainny," said Miss Whit- Likes "Picaninny" Best "Of all the roles I've played, that of a picanimmy is my favorite. Somehow I seem to be able to put myself into that more than into another part. Maybe it is because 'I'm so nice' and 'I'm the best judge' that wide infectious smile of hers that is just as frankly friendly off stage as on. Takes Male Role "Why did you begin impersonating a man?" sle was asked. "What gave you the idea?" he answered like this," she answered. "One night about seven years ago, while playing an engagement in Chicago, a boy, who sang one of my songs, dropped out. You were the singer of the songs for our shows." Here she mentioned "Think of Me Little Daddy," "Precious Baby." "I Must Love Me," and a string of others. "Boys were written the song," she wrote, "written the song. I knew the song and could sing it, so I rigged up an outfit and filed his place. As a boy I went over big, bigger than in any one I did before. So, a boy I staved." Mannish Attire "Why do you go in for such mannish styles off stage? Is it that you think men's styles are more attractive than feminine ones?" "No. I like like things." Miss Wrenman went in for typically mannish styles because it was good showmanship, and now the public demands me in that type of clothes. I'm not Bert that type of mannish. A man in a look at a girl can be." Doesn't Like Long Dresses While looking up a photograph of her clothes, other than professional clothes, we unintentionally present styles. Miss Whitman said, "I like to wear skirts, skirts, skirts, and laceyingly edged, skirts." BATTLE OF MUSIC NEW YORK. The Savoy Ballroom staged another of its famous Battles of Music Wednesday night, this time with six orchestra in the fray, the fight being waged by three Baltimore outfits and three New York units. Irvin Hughes and His Royal Southerners, Percy Glascone and His Plantation Orchestra, and Ike Dixon and His Bear Cats represented the South. The Bowman and His Chocolate Dandles, and Cecil Scott and His Bright Boys played for Harlem. As usual, no decision was given, but none was missed. After all that hot music the dancers melted and ran down the steps. White Louisianan Planter Held on Peonage Charge NEW ORLEANS, La., (CNS.) — Uncovering an alleged plot of servitude on the farm of James Pigott, white, six miles from Bogaluse, Louisiana, federal officers arrested Pigott and had him indicted on a charge of peonage. He was released under Bogaluse. Federal authorities for some time have been investigating the tales of peonage related to them by three colored workers who escaped from the farm and charged Pigott, punishing laborers with whips and chains and working them without 9 THE NEW YORK TIMES hadn't liked the short ones at first and that she guessed it was a matter of all of us being made to like what the fashion dictators determined for us to wear. However, photographs show that as Bert Whitman, famous male importer, he was a White man in the feminine frills, she is quite an attractive person. NEW YORK—Presenting, Frank Bannister's revue.

It should be remembered that while the dashboard thermometer shows the actual temperature of the liquid in the water jacket, the thermometer on the radiator cap, which registers through the rise and fall of a red liquid in a tube, indicates the temperature, not of the cooling fluid itself, but of the air just above the radiator contents. Outdoor temperatures easily affect this air chamber. When the outside temperature is between 32 and 40 degrees, about one-third of the degree in the motor-meter should be in sight. In zero weather the red should barely show above the bottom of the gauge. When this type of motormeter registers at the "summer average" mark during cold weather. A cooling system, and if the boiling water is present, and if a volatile autofreeze is used, it will disappear rapidly under these conditions.

It was an admonition to eliminate fear and to so live that peace asd happiness might reign among all men. It is in the same spirit that we bring to you at this sea- son of the year a message of good cheer which spreads the glad tidings that through the operation of Life Insurance, gre can assure himself and his loved ones of that content- ment, that security, that tranquility of mind and conscience that can be secured in no other way. ‘The possession of a Victory Life Insurance Policy im- Let Us Be Of] mediately creates a sense of security against the uncertain- oe Service To Y. fies of life, It enables one to rest content in the knowledge ervice To You that no matter what happens, his loved ones are protected Duri 1930 | against want, Te sives that tranquility of mind and con- uring science that comes with the performance of a sacred duty.

JONES WAS WINNING Fields's Rushing Tactics Spoil Contest. By C. ELLIOTT FREEMAN, Jr. Carroll News Service BOSTON—Apparently swayed by the jeers, both the team and the 17,000 before Joseph O'Connor stopped the bout between Jackie Fields of Los Angeles, California, welterweight champion of the world, and William (Glorious) Arbon, who is the challengers for the title, and called the bout "no contest." The fight was stopped after 45 seconds in the seventh round of their bout and the bout at the Boston Garden. Friday evening. Rumors started several hours before the bout, that it was "in the back for Fields to win." The fight is probably the cause of the hostile attitude of the crowd. The fans, booed, jeered, and hissed for six rounds, in fact started almost before the nen warmed up. It seemed organizationized demonstration against them. Commissioner Eugene Buckley, a ringside spectator, said that in his opinion "the fight was that the decision of no contest implies that the boxers were not trying their best. The referee in that case, has the privilege of holding up and both boxers must be paid and will not be suspended as was the case of Godfrey and Byrne. "Not Trying Too Hard" Commissioner N.land, who was also a ringside spectator, said that migh have been the best, but he promised to me that they were trying too hard to hurt each other." Jones had the best of the fight as fa. as it went, winning the first round, but not down, although the champ rose without a count. Jones also won the fourth and fifth with solid rights to the body and head that had Fields groggy. The sixth could be called a da. It is the consensus of opinion of ringside spectators, that the referee made a grave mistake and that he was influenced by the boos and jeers the crowd. He seemed very nervous. Fields on Top of Jones The reason the fight looked like a fake to the fans, was because Fieldz was constant on one hand and game. Jones with his long arms had to get set before he is able to land a knockout blow. Such tactics of Fields made Jones a bit more aggressive. The tactics of Fields did not make a hit with the crowd. There was much missing by both fighters, much more to land and hand-jaws of Fields arms and gloves, while the jabs of Fields did not appear to have any steam behind them. Jones's inside hooks always seemed to graze the champion without doing any ac- TOLEDO FIVE WINS TOLEDO, Ohio—The Toledo Douglass Center Pets defeated the strong Wheatle Center team of Fort Wayne, Indiana, by a score of 32-28.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 21, 1929 PAST GRID YEAR GOOD IN SOUTH--ABBOTT Tuskegee Mentor Reviews High Spots of Season Just Closed. GIVES HONOR ROLL Miles Memorial College Had Weakest Team. By CLEVE L. ABBOTT (Tuskegee Coach) Nowhere in America does there exist a more healthy interest in football than among the colored schools of the South, where the first game was played January 14, 1894, between Tuskegee and Atlanta University at Atlanta, Georgia, Atlanta University winning, 10 to 0. This year, the high standard of play maintained, although a few "dearest enemy" games were not played because of a split in the Southern Conference. The crowds were larger than in previous years, and the team was accompanied with the conduct of the games. Featured by the defeat of Wilberforce by Tuskegee, 6-0, at Soldier Field, Chicago, in one of the most exciting games ever played in the middle West, the crushing of Bluefield, 34-0, and the overwhelming victory of Fisk over Howard, 1920. Southern Colored War 1920 has its best year, Tuskegee won all of its struggles in a clean cut and decisive manner. The Tigers opened their schedule by taking A and T. College of North Carolina, and winning Friday, won from the 24th Infantry, and then journeyed to Birmingham where Clark was defeated. The next Saturday, Tuskegee met Wilberforce at Soldiers Field, Chicago, and next defeated Miles Memorial, where he triumphed Alabama in order. The next game was with Bluefield, the 1928 national champions, on Thanksgiving day at Tuskegee. The Golden Tigers raged and stormed into the Alumni Hall, and blues completely mourned. Fisk Had Good Team Fisk was a very powerful team, just about the best which has worn the Gold and Blue since 1923. The only blot on their record was the 13-7 defeat at the hands of Wilberforce University, the other intersectional game to play against Prairie View State College, New Year's Day. There has been one change in the coaching staff. W. H. (Chief) Aiken formerly head mentor for the Atlanta University, potash team, has this year been head coach, Henderson "Tubby" Johnson. Coach Sam Taylor had another fine team at Clark, losing only to Tuskegee and to Wilberforce in an intersectional game played at Wilberforce, Ohio, on a very muddy field. He did not hold their footing on this day, and the Panthers was defeated, 33 to 7. Talladega Under the guidance of Wright and Talbot, the new conchaping regime at the University of Florida was successful season, although many of the traditional games were missing from this year's schedule. Of the only team to defeat Talabae, Alabama State G. F. ("Country") Lewis, who had charge of the Alabama State Teacher's College, had had an up-and-down performer. Starting the season strong, the Hornets gave promise of developing into a Southern contender, but later wilted. Morehouse Roy Vaughn a Colgate star had charge of football at Morehouse College. The team started out in whirlwind competition and the national game from Howard at Atlanta, and ended the season by losing a hair line decision to Talladega. Morris Brown Morris Brown coached by Dr. D. H. Cainy could not get going despite the start of the season. Their best game was against the Tuskegee team. In this struggle Morris Brown scored three touchdowns and forced the Golden State to win. Florida A. and M. Florida A. and M.

FIELDS FIGHT Aggie Halfback Runs Wild as Livingstone Bows by 12-6 Score. BEARS INTERCEPT PASS Lone Tally Made When Lynn Juggles Ball. GREENSBORO, N.C.—A human cannon ball named Bus Coleman was the big factor in the 12 to 6 defeat handed the Livingstone team the Aggies of A. and T. College Friar, the World War Memorial Stadium. Coleman scored first for the Aggies in the first quarter after Dillard had scooped up a short line from that point, ten-ard line. From that point, Bus plowed through tackle for the count. His kick, like all those of the game, was wild. He counted again for A. and T. in the second period with 80- and 30-ard line. The Bears had kicked off over the goal line. On the first play Coleman got loose and after shaking off three tacklers had no further troubles, except keeping out of the way of his own inter- It was a great day for the husky triple threat man, playing his last game for A. and T. He had one bad break. This was in the second quarter when one of his best plays of the arm of the receiver and was caught by Lynn, of the Salisbury team. Lynn had a clear path to the goal line and he took it. A. and T. was too heavy outfit, and this combination of crushing power, with Coleman's magnificent nunting and passing was too much for the visitors. Lane and Peterson were all primed to play hit. Coleman preferred not to play against them. BEARS AGGIES Diamond L.E. Jewell Jackson B.T. Jenkins McCormick C. Harris Bess R.G. Canada Ormond R.T. Washington Buffalo Q.B. Shelton Williams R.H.

COLEMAN VALUABLE MAN Veney, Baltimore Boy, on Second Team. HAMPTON INST., Va.—The football season is considered as officially closed on Thanksgiving Day, but the season is not true. The selection of various conferences are made, and the All-American pickers have done their stuff. The selection of an all-star team is a task of no small degree. It is a job that requires the best choice of players, the finest decision usually comes in for quite a bit of questioning. Play Below Standard the 1929 drive was not up to its usual standard. The best of the three was A ed in a few teams, and the season's standing will show. Some of the teams began the beginning of the season to have strong chances to end near or at closing of the fallout before the season had reached its half-way mark. Hampton, N. State, Hampton, N. State, Lincoln and Coleman A. & T., in that order, were considered as the leading teams of the conference, but the end of the season saw the order practically reversed. Injuries played a great part in the reduction of the efficiency of many a player to their respective teams, and in considering picking any player for a position, all of his qualifications must be taken into consideration. In addition, the player must be considered are: his team value; how good are the assignment he faces; how often is his team forced to halt because of his injuries; what are his weak and strong points on offense in the face of stiff opposition. Some might think that the higher a team goes, the more chances that team has in getting the majority of the berths, but this is no necessarily true. A low division team might have a low division team an eleven or three matches above. Some Stars Loafed While there may be some things the laity has not observed, the AllStar Committee has observed these things closely, and has been guided by them to a great extent. Chambers gave guidance to the last year's stars gave preference to their injuries and loafed along during the thick of the fray, and showed a complete let-down in their style of play, how some men failed to show the mental alertness formed in display to fit into the scheme of things given points. Some of the men to suffer these things were Payne, Pegram, Dabney, and Chambers of Va. State; Jones, Guess, Mortan and Harris Hampton, Coleman of A. and Van Buren, Coleman and Washington and Booth of Union. The Ends The crop of ends was somewhat large but the majority carry these jobs displayed the same brand of the war machine. The less inclined to be content with playing a defensive game. This is important, but ends combining a strong defense with an offensive brand of playing in one department only. An ends main offensive value lies in his reception of forward passes and his power to prevent his flank from being circled by the opposition; in being able to break up interference ability to break up interference when an attempt is made to skirt the wings. Among the end; offered are Powell of Va. State; S. Scotts of Kewal; Kewal of Va. State; L. Love of St. Paul; and McGowan of Hampton. Jewel A Christmas CITY CLUB CIGARS. The gift for any Man Always a good smoke and Lowe were eliminated, while Powell, McGowan, and Sydnor were the final choice finally narrowed down to Sydnor, of Lincoln and the Gowan of Hampton. Other people were the St. Paul, Bucks of Union, and the Temple of Lincoln. Some of these men had had the especially Temple, which was not the physical condition to stand on continuous grind. The Tackles The tackles were Kane of Lincoln, Gaines and Hunter of Hampton Lee of Va. State. The play was carried among the tackles, what few were to choose from. Where were some of these things they minus in some other places, then binned the all-round, consistent play demanded if this important. The list of tackles carried only from which to choose two, may be here easier than in the department and Hunter is eliminated leaving of Va. State and Gaines of Hampton as the carrier for tackles. The Guards The crop of guards was also small as it has been for the past year. The list carries Hester of Palmyra, Peter of Ulton, Thomas of Ulnion, Oliver of Va. State, Hill of Hampshire, and was very little to choose between guards. The lot was small but a brand of play was good amour of elimination caught Hoeven, Goodenough in its six leaving Thompson of Ulton and Ger of Va. State as men for berth on the first eleven. The Centers The roster of centers was eveningly small, which makes one what has become of those days great centers when this posed as much in the limehight as any do on the team? Harrison of umpiring at Union was only two offered. Here, an amount instance where there was little chance to be made. The men was equally matched in skill, speed, gressiveness, and the ability to do nose plays while in the making Smith was the unanimous choice for the pit job, shading Harrison through his unfattering courage, able to lead, and fine fighting qualities. The Barks The backs, the big guns of the searing attacks behind a good defense war, large as in most years. All of the teams did not have an excellent team with them, three twisted with them had them the best runners. These backs were hard and runners, quick thinters, many of them possessing marked versatility. They were Coleman of A. & T. Lewis of Lincoln, Dabney and Cope of St. Paul, Washington of S. Paul, Cotten, Washington and Robinson of Union. It was thought at the outset, that the task of eliminating would be quite hard, but after taking in consideration things mentioned above, the list was soon narrowed down to the first three powerful ball carriers, some cougain this with a strong defense and the ability to do more than one thing. Some of these backs were quickly eliminated when it was found that the team was giving full service to their team, especially in the important assignments on the season's schedule. In injuries the team was unable to his coach, team and teammate. Most of these injuries men did not get on the primary list late in the season. They along the path, staying out from to three games. Those men who carried on to end, proving their worth in every assignment, lost to the thick of the battle, selenoid, ever holding their teams up on count of their injuries are Burke, Union, and Royal of Va. State. Their ability in gaining ground, with all, according to records, having advantage over all other backs the loop, Bounds of Va State, the open loop, grazing of the campaign, but proved with every game, being high point scorer of the associate, responsible officer, and defensive weapon, lands at the fullback post. The Quarterbacks Johnson and Murphy were each as quarterbacks for the first job. The job of picking here was not an ordel as had been expected. Lawrence Johnson of Va. State. United general of a team well as the well as the plays, a wonderful forward and an inspiration to any team, the call here as quarterback for first eleven. Other good quirks were Smith of St. Petersburg and his post and K. Williams of Union. The Second Team Since Howard did not play games in the association to be able for the championship, the mittee did no feel that he would be suited for honors at All-Star eleven. Most Valuable Mention Bus Colleman of A. A. & player team. White Coleman did not play his former standard, his worth and T. team was clearly suited to a multi-turfed team.

Moreover, the first of Jack's marital culties arose while in this enterprise the first lady to whom he was exceedingly voted left him.

Not Generally Accorded Recognition in American Literature and Art. Some Modern Examples. By F. H. M. MURRAY. "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the King, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the cast, and are come to worship him. "When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him. In Bethlehem of Judea. "Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared." My natural chagrin at being thus "scooped" has been somewhat assuaged by the knowledge that many people have been made aware of what they would probably not have learned from the writings and illustrations that appeared in American publications—even the religious ones. (Moreover, I succeeded in rewriting the article from my notes, and it was later published in the A. M.E. Review.) Some Instances Overlooked. Notwithstanding the general neglect or refusal of American literature and American art to respect the traditions as to the honorable participation of a representative of the darker peoples in this notable event, yet there are instances where such recognition has been accorded but "And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. "When they had heard the king, they departed; and, to the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrhr. "And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way." Thus read verses 1 to 5 (in part), and 7 to 12 of the second chapter of Matthew. This account and the account of the Nativity—including the announcement of the angels and the visit of the shepherds to the manger (in Luke)—constitute the Christmas Story. Aside from its interest to all mankind, the part of the story quoted from Matthew has particular interest to the darker peoples; for, according to the accepted traditions, one of the three Wise Men—or Magi, as they are usually called—was a Negro. True it is, that many people—white as well as colored—in America have not had attention called to this fact, yet in art, especially European art, it has ample recognition. Religious Writers Not Frank. Many years of experience as a Sunday school teacher—using mostly the International Lessons—had shown that commentators and illustrators—in America—had either from design or ignorance, obscured or falsified the tradition so far as concerned giving recognition of the black man's part in the events connected with the advent of the Messiah. Every Christmas the lesson would be based on the visit of the Wise Men, or on the Adoration of the Shepherds, or both, with appropriate pictorial representation. Sometimes the pictures would be copies of European works of art, but always it was managed to select a picture that for some reason had not shown a black man among those who brought kingly gifts to the King of kings. The space allotted for this article will not permit a full explanation of the failure at times of certain European artists to depict the Masi as representatives of the three great peoples and continents then known—Europe, Asia and Africa; but it was seldom if ever a matter of racial prejudice or arrogance. In view of these facts, and in order to bring more widely to the attention of our people the honorable recognition accorded to us in this significant event, I prepared an article, to be fortified by whatever pictures the editor would care to use and sent it to the Crisis. It was duly acknowledged by the editor who promised publication. After several issues of the magazine had appeared without the article—crowded out, or something—the manuscript was reported "lost." However, the following Christmas number of the magazine had on its cover a copy of a painting by a European artist, which showed a black man as one of the Magi; and from that time to this—about fifteen years—at every recurring December, a similar picture has been shown—but no reference has ever been made to the source of the original suggestion. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 21, 1929 My natural chagrin at being thus "scooped" has been somewhat assuaged by the knowledge that many people have been made aware of what they would probably not have learned from the writings and illustrations that appeared in American publications—even the religious ones. (Moreover, I succeeded in rewriting the article from my notes, and it was later published in the A. M.E. Review.) Notwithstanding the general neglect or refusal of American literature and American art to respect the traditions as to the honorable participation of a representative of the darker peoples in this notable event, yet there are instances where such recognition has been accorded but have attracted only limited attention or none at all. A case in point is the celebrated "Christmas Tower" of the Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal Church at Cathedral and Read streets in this city. This noble work is rightly referred to as Baltimore's most beautiful structure. It is, for artistic reasons, itself worthy of a full article; but at this time attention may be called only to three of the sculptured figures on the tower. These represent the traditional three Wise Men or Magi, who followed the Star to Bethlehem The Christmas Tower a Memorial. This tower is a gift of the late Mrs. Ida Perry Black, in memory of her husband, H. Crawford Black, who died on Christmas Day, 1916. It is commonly referred to as the "Christmas Tower," because on it it are placed several sculptured figures of personages prominent in the "Christmas Story." Among these figures the largest are representations of the three Magi. It may be said that, strictly speaking, the visit of the Magi is not a part of the Christmas Story. To be exact, the Christmas festival commemorates the Nativity—the birth of the Christ. Just how much time elapsed between the Nativity and the visit of the Magi is not stated in the Bible. In the church calendar, the event is commemorated by the Feast of the Epiphany which is celebrated on the sixth of January—twelve days after Christmas. The Epiphany (from a Greek word meaning, to show forth) is celebrated as the occasion of the first manifestation of the Messiah to the Gentile world. Notwithstanding tradition has fixed this date at twelve days after the Nativity, popular custom has linked the two events together—and in art, the Adoration of the Shepherds (which is supposed to have occurred on the morning of the Nativity) and the Adoration of the Magi, are frequently combined in one representation. They are thus combined on this tower. The architect was Woldemar H Ritter of Boston, and the sculptor of the many beautiful and delicately modelled figures was John Kirchmayer, of Oberammergau, Bavaria. Truly, as has been said, it is a gift of the Old World to the New; for the architect (himself evidently of foreign lineage, if not birth) and the sculptor have brought to this noble work the spirit and the sincerity of the religious atmosphere which pervades the sculptor's home, the seat of the Passion Play; the whole executed with a skill and patience almost unparalleled in these days. In conformity to that spirit and sincerity, the architect and the artist have placed on this tower—as the most conspicuous element of the Christmas Story—the three Wise Men or Magi; and, following the tradition, have depicted them as kings—one of whom represents a Negro. Nevertheless, in the account of the ceremonies attending the dedication which took place June 27, 1920, I find no mention of the racial identities of these kings; and, since these figures are placed rather high, and since probably few in the assemblage knew the traditions, it is not unlikely that the matter of racial identity was not noticed; for, while the features of the young king are frankly African, they are not exaggerated so—and differences of color are of course entirely absent from the granite out of which the statues are carved. from Tradition. The foregoing account, quoted from the gospel of Matthew, comprises all that the Bible contains concerning this auspicious event. It will be noted that many details are lacking. Neither the number, nor the rank, nor the nationalities of these Wise Men is stated. Tradition, however THE WISE MEN ADORE THE CHRIST CHILD ```markdown ``` "THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM," by Sir Edward Burne-Jones. The original, finished in 1891, is in the municipal art gallery of Birmingham, England. In accordance with accepted tradition, the artist has depicted the three Wise Men as kings, representing the three continents of Biblical times—Europe, Asia, and Africa, respectively. An angel floats down, bearing the Star in his uplifted hands. Note the "adoring Negro prince" at the right. has supplied the lack—supplied it too amply, perhaps; for the number and variety of the various legends concerning these men are truly legion. The legends tell us the details concerning the Wise Men's discovery of the Star, its form and its movements; the incidents of their journeys to Bethlehem and return; their subsequent lives and their deaths; the recovery of their bodies and their present resting place. Numerous legends cover the details of their ages and personal appearances, the exact quantity and character of their gifts, the way Mary and Joseph received them, and many other matters more or less relevant. Many of these legends are no doubt inventions of fancy, some are obviously fantastic, but some are reasonable, acceptable and appealing. ditions—hence among these we seldom find a picture of this event in which a Negro king, or Magi, does not appear. Modern Artists Seldom Devout. In modern times religious themes have lost their appeal to artists no less than to others. Yet there have been a few notable artists who have reverted occasionally to Biblical incidents—including the one we are considering. It has been treated a few times by Americans, but I know of only one who has treated the subject frankly and truthfully; and he is, or was an ex-patriated American, Edwin Austin Abbey, who took up residence in England and there did the most TURKEY IS ON U. S. GIFT TO CHRISTMAS Nearly All Other Ytide Customs Originated in Europe. TREE IS GERMA A few are set forth in the famous novel, "Ben Hur," by Lew Wallace. But as might be expected from an American, he shies at the tradition which holds that Balthasar, the youngest Wise Man, was a Negro. He compromises—or falsifies, as you choose—by making him "an Egyptian," and describes him (Chapter II) as "almost negro in color." But he adds, "aquiline nose, hair profuse, straight, falling to the shoulder in many plaits." The other two men, Gaspar and Melchior, are a Greek and a Hindoo, respectively. Other books by Americans dodge or falsify the traditions likewise. I say "falsify," advisedly; for, the identical sources which supply these writers with the other details which they DO follow—as to the number, the rank, the ages, and even the names attributed to these men—are the sources from which we learn their racial identities. Admittedly some of the writers, especially of Sunday school literature, may be simply uninformed. However, there is at least one book by a noted American author which treats the matter fully and frankly—and I may add appealingly—"The Christ Child in Art," by Henry Van Dyke, whose book, "The Other Wise Man." is well known. As is well known, the "Old Masters" devoted a great part of their work to Biblical subjects and religious themes. Probably no occurrence of the Old or the New Testament was so frequently depicted as the story of the Wise Men. All of the traditional details that have been mentioned and many more, have been portrayed time and again. The attribution to these men of kingly rank was one reason for this. It gave opportunity for an almost unlimited play of fancy and imagination in the display of wealth, pomp, power, opulence and worldly magnificence which the artists did not fall to avail themselves of. The three kings were often represented in the persons of the rulers or the high dignitaries of the artist's own time and country. Not infrequently in the retinue of these honored personages the face of the artist himself appears. This manner of treatment became quite popular in Italy. Indeed, many of the Italian masters seemed more intent on glorifying their earthly patrons and the ruling potentates than on showing reverence for the Messiah, whom they were purporting to honor. The Germans, the Dutch and the Spaniards, however, seemed more devout—held more closely to the tra- ditions—hence among these we seldom find a picture of this event in which a Negro king, or Magi, does not appear. Modern Artists Seldom Devout. In modern times religious themes have lost their appeal to artists no less than to others. Yet there have been a few notable artists who have reverted occasionally to Biblical incidents—including the one we are considering. It has been treated a few times by Americans, but I know of only one who has treated the subject frankly and truthfully; and he is, or was an ex-patriated American, Edwin Austin Abbey, who took up residence in England and there did the most of his work, including the picture to which I refer—a triptych for the reredos of the altar in the American Protestant Episcopal Church in Paris One of the three kings in this picture is unequivocally a Negro. It may be said that Abbey was a painter of the first rank. His most notable picture in America is his great mural "The Quest of the Holy Grail," in the Boston public library. Strange as it may seem, it remained for a modern English painter, Sir Edward Burne-Jones, to bring to the portrayal of this occurrence what seems to me to be the most striking and appealing treatment it has ever had. This famous work, which bears the name, "The Star of Bethlehem," was first executed as a tapestry for Exeter College, Oxford, and later in water color for the painter's home city, Birmingham, where it now hangs in the public gallery—its greatest treasure. To this truly great work Burne-Jones has brought sincere reverence, deep feeling, and skillful, patient execution. Malcom Bell—a famous critic and connoisseur—says that every leaf and blade of grass, every fold of robe, every button, buckle and gem has been executed with exact and meticulous care. And the coloring—vivid blues, rich browns and purple (the royal color), silver and gold, constitute for the three kings a richness and opulence beyond description. Bell refers particularly to the gorgeousness of the costume and the gift of the "adoring Negro prince." All this in contrast to the simple and subdued treatment of the mother and child and their surroundings. Into this picture the painter has introduced an entirely new and beautiful conception—an angel half stands, half floats, holding in his hands the Star—while the kings in humble and adoring attitudes offer their homage and their gifts. In addition to its reverential appeal, we have in this work a most touching tribute to motherhood as well as to Godhood—perhaps the most expressive example in all art of what Bell has described as, "the self-abasement of wealth and power before the weak majesty of a homeless mother and her babe."

GIFT TO CHRISTMAS Nearly All Other Yuleide Customs Originated in Europe. Christmas customs in America have been transplanted from Europe. Our Christmas tree comes from Germany; our Santa Claus, from Holland; stockings from Belgium or France, while "Merry Christmas" was the old English greeting shouted from window to street on Christmas morning. The plum pudding and our mince pies are from England. We have also borrowed from English usage carol singing, and use of the holly and mistletoe. The turkey, seemingly, is our only contribution. People coming here from their native lands brought their customs with them. Santa Claus, associated with Christmas, comes to America by way of Holland. The Dutch settlers introduced to their neighbors in the new world S'. Nicholas c. San Nicolas, the patron saint of children. Saint Nick's Real Name The career of St. Nicholas, who is known as the patron saint of sailors, pawnbrokers, students and children, is definitely known. He was born in Asia Minor in the fourth century, and at a precociously early age exhibited such piety that on Wednesdays and Fridays, days of abstinence, he refused to suck the breast. He was the heil to vast riches all of which he gave to the poor, for he was dedicated to the service of God. His holiness brought him to preferment without his own contrivance. At the town o. Myra, it happened that the presiding bishop died. The clergy agreed to elect as his successor the first person who should enter the church on the following morning. Nicholas knew nothing of this, but after his custom he arose early to pray in the church. Thus it came about that he was made bishop. Thereafter he performed many wonders. One legend of him states: "The sons of a rich Asiatic were on their way to Athens for education when they were slain and dismembered by a robber inn-keeper. Their parts were hidden in a brine tub. In the morning came St. Nicholas, whose visions had warned him of the murder and whose authority forced a confession." The legend further states that the Saint restored the boys to life by his prayers. He has been regarded as a saint since this event.

THE WENTWORTH FAMILY—Consists of Saint Jolien de Chatigny Wentworth, Polly Wentworth, and Mrs. Wentworth, their widowed mother. The family is more aristocratic than wealthy.

Mamba sat at the open window ened, and the woman stood in white nightdress, looming huge against the dark. with them for many years. Mamba has an uncanny clever understanding of the ruling white class and also possesses a naturally deep and unusually rich contrasto voice. The Wentworths are unable to pay Mamba, but Mamba is so devoted to the family that she is satisfied with her board and the university young ladies. He is satisfied with her board and the opportunity of acting as maid to folly a young lady of inherited social prominence. Polly very apt in school, but Saint was a disappointment to everyone in the bestwelfare family except Mamba, whose keen insight into human nature enabled her to see latent ability even though he did not respond creditably to the school system. Mamba alone understood Saint. HAGAR—Mamba's giant, muscular slow-written daughter, had an inordinate liking for strong drink, much to Mamba's distress. Two qualities she had in common with Mamba, namely, a fine contralto voice and a large body. Mamba had said Hagar was "born for trouble." LUSSA-Hagar's daughter The object of Mamba's sacrifice and the cause of Mamba's constant remonstrances against Hagar's habit. Mamba leaves the Wentworths for the Atkinson's, who are also wealthy incidentally more wealthy than aristocrat—in order that she may obtain more pay. In the meantime Saint obtains a five dollar a week job as storekeeper at the mines and begins a business career. One of Hagar's escapades leads her into a brave, with a Negro, whom she belaubs with so much severity that she is arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Hagar is given a two-year suspended sentence. at the mines. Hagar astonishes the owners by performing a man's work. She turns her earnines over to Mumba, who saves them for Lissa. At a combination church service and How Fewer. At a combination church service and "Love Feast" Hagar (whose new name is Baxter) befriends Bluton, a very much despised mulatto, by carrying him to a city hospital after he has been seriously "slashed" by one of the frolickers. Under Hagar's suspended sentence, she was forbidden to come within the city limits and she barely escapes prison again. The season's most exclusive social event among the white robe is the ball of the St. Cecilia society. The Atkinsons are clated over their invitation to attend this event, consequently they invite Mr. Atkinson's pretty niece, Valerie, to attend as their guest. Mamba takes Lissa, who is no about ten years of age, to the Pentworth home to see Polly's evening gown. While there Lissa is found to be developing into a very beautiful girl. Reverend Grayson becomes persons non-grata in the community. However, no successes in establishing a lasting friendship with Baxter and leaves his New York address with her. Saint has become a successful business man, while Valerie has been abroad and acquitted herself creditably in the service of her country during the World War. Lissa, now seventeen, has blossomed into a Lissa is now a member of Charleston's intelligentsia, where she meets Frank North, a young Negro painter and violinist. He is very talented and worthwhile, and is interested in Lissa. Lissa is considerably disinterested with considerably disguised with her own associates. One day she tells Mamba that in spite of the fact that she is told to be proud of her Negro heritage, all her associates are trying their "damndest" to be white.

A sponsible for she. El enyt'ing happen to she yo' gots me—Mamba—to settle wid. Yo' gets dat?" The man looked her up and down. It was not in him to feel the spiritual power that animated the fragile old creature who hung to the side of his car. He could only see a rather comic little figure with great false teeth gleaming in the lamplight against the black of her face, and a hand that trembled absurdly and impotently on his car. He laughed at her frankly, throwing his head back ... that she saw the insolent challenge in his eyes, and a livid scar that crossed his forehead like a long centipede. Lisse put her arm around the old woman and drew her close to her side. "Here, cut that out," she cried sharply to the man. "Nobody's going to laugh at Grandma and take me out—you can just get that straight now." Prince's change of front was almost comical in its sturdiness. "Me laugh at de ole lady?—Honey, yo' don't know me. Ah jes' laugh because she think anything can happen while Ah takin' care of yo." He reached over and patted Mamba's hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, Gran'm... Make your min' easy. Your gal ain't never been so well fix' befo'." During the brief parley the engine had been running slowly. Now he advanced the accelerator, and the sound swelled suddenly and omniously in Mamba's ears. "Get in, Lissa," he called. "We're late enough already." But there was no disguising the fact that he had laughed at Mamba. He had not supposed that Lissa would care and he had taken the chance. Now the girl stood with her arm tight about the old woman and hesitated, looking at him with anger and distrust in her eyes. For a moment it seemed as though she would let him drive away alone. But she had longed so for the night to come. The mason in the parade that morning had started a hunger in her for youth that could forget itself and send worries flying—and she had been such a lady all afternoon—and there, half an hour away, were waiting music—dancing—throbbing young bodies—"Life with a red lining." She caught Mamba to her, half smothered her with kisses and sprang into the machine beside Prince. There was a hoarse, triumphant cry of metal as the gears meshed and the red car lunge northward. Mamba stood and watched it go, first a crimson blotch, that came and went as it passed under successive arc lights, ther only a tiny red spark $ - ALWAYS HAVE LUCK! - $ Unlucky in Money Games, Love or Business?

There was a tencity about her attitude as though she were waiting by precarrangement for a certain occurrence and that she was unsure only of the hour. St. Michael's chimes that spoken to let every quarter hour, and each time at the first mellow note she had sat forward, counted with an inaudible movement of the lips then, in the ensuing silence, let herself go slowly back in her chair and wait for the next. She was fully clad, even to the sedate black straw bonnet which was an emblem of respectability without which she was never seen upon the street. Midnight had passed, heavy-footed and weary. then almost staccato by comparison, came the single clear note announcing the new day. A ramshackle automobile rattled noisily up the quiet street and stopped with a sigh before the Atkinsons' gate. At the same moment that Mamba's form strained from her window, Gardinia Whitmore arrived breathless on the grass below. "Lissa home yet?" she asked. Mamba disappeared immediately and a moment later stood beside the young woman, her fingers closed in a grip that was almost painful about Gardinia's arm. "No." she said briefly; then: "Ah been waitin' fer yo' to come fo' me. Whar yo' tink she gone?" Gardinia's voice was edged with hysteria. She had been drinking, and exhaled an effulvium of corn whisky. "I swear to Gawd I didn't have nothin' to do with it. Gran'ma," she began. "I did just like I promised, I kept my eye on her, but there was something about that licker of Prince's. It knocked me out, an' it knocked out Slim, an' we ain't no babies. When I come round, the first thing I looked for was Lissa and Prince, and when I ain't see them I made Slim burn it down here to you, just like I promised." Mamba's voice came urgent, steadying: "Where dat 'nigger' Prince lib? Tell me all yo' know 'bout um, gal." "Nobody don't know much about him, and he's such a liar, you can't count on what he says about himself. All I know is he lives across the bridge. He says he runs a big truck farm and a lot of stores over there." "What he name? He mu' hab more ob a name dan jus' Prince" Gardinia stood silent, trying to remember. Then she called Slim. With maddening deliberation he detached himself from the car and slouched indolently forward. "What's Prince's real name?" the girl demanded. The man stood shuffling one foot backward and forward on the grass, his mouth sarging open, while he pursued the glimmer of a memory through the labyrinth of his befuddled brain. At last he announced, "Ah got it. Ah done heard some of the mens call him Bluton—Gilly Bluton." The word shocked Mamba into instant activity. She spun around and re-entered the house, emerging a moment later with a big old-fashioned pocketbook in her hand. She took each of the young people by an arm and propelled them toward the gate, her body rocking with her speed and the intensity of her purpose. At the car she stuffed a bill into Slim's hand. "Ober de bridge, boy," she ordered. "an' fuh Gawd's sake hurry." Then, while he was obediently cranking the car, she turned and laid a hand on Gardinia's shoulder. "Go home an' sleep it off, gal," she said in a gentle voice. "Yo' ain't a bad gal, an' yo' done what yo' can." Slim sat silent, giving his whole attention to the task of getting the utmost out of his dilapidated machine. Mamba's thoughts wrestled with the problem that confronted her. It was useless to plan. She would have to depend on Hagar, who knew the ground. But she had an almost superstitious fear of the consequences that might result from such a dependence. Always it had been the well-meant bungling of her great awkward daughter that had precipitated trouble. She remembered vividly the summer dawn when Hagar had sent for her to come to the East Bav tenement after she had jeopardised all of her hopes for Lissa by rescuing Bluton and bringing him to the city to be found and cared for by the police. The malign and ironical fate that prompted Hagar's good impulses had never played a more cruel joke on her than that. She had risked everything to save Bluton—for what? To attempt the ruin of her own daughter. The thought stabbed the old woman like a blade, and she broke her silence, urging Slim to greater speed It must have been between two and three o'clock when Mamba reached the cabin in which Haga lived with old Vina. Overhead the great void of sky was filled with drifting mist. dark to the east, and showing a luminous area over the western treetops where the moon was tilting toward the horizon. In the faint light the cabin had a ghostly deserted look. Mamba sprang from the car, and knocked upon the door, calling urgently. "Hagar—Hagar!" Almost instantly the door was on- CHRISTMAS in JAIL (Aint that a pain) Vocal with Piano and Guitar by LEROY CARR VOCALION RECORD no 1432 If there's one time that's no time to be in the jail house, its at Christmas.

"Lissa's ober here with dat damn' nigger' Bluton," Mamba shot at her; then she strove by repetition to drive the idea into the sleep-dulled brain. "Here—here—do yo' unnerstan'?—wid Bluton." "Can't be, Ma—not Lissa." "Ah tell yo' she is. We got to find her quick. Where'd he take her? Yo' knows him, yo' know his ways wid women. Hagar was awake now, and she responded to Mamba's old power over her. It was almost as though the elder brain had assumed control of nerve and muscle in the big body, telling them what to do. Hagar reached into the room and caught up a cloak that she rlung over her nightdress; then, with Mamba, she sprang for the car. bounded, plunging, plunging through tunnels of blackness under live-oak avenues, racing between broom-straw fields under a wide emptiness of sky. And always Hagar sitting on the rear seat and leaning forward with her face at Clim's shoulder, told him which turnings to take. About them the night, under its shroud of mist.

GIFT TURKEY U. S. GIFT try there was no celebration of Christmas among the Pilgrims or Puritans. Those who came over on the Mayflower celebrated Christmas on that ship for the last time for many years. There was a law passed in 1647 abolishing the observance of Christmas, but the law was repealed in 1659 Christmas in Virginia Later Christmas was celebrated as a season of plenty and merriment, especially in Virginia where it was the red letter day of the year—the most joyous of all holidays. Yule-tide has been connected with important events in history. In 1776 Washington crossed the Delaware river on Christmas night to capture the Hessians. The next year the soldiers spent Christmas at Valley Forge, sick and discouraged, without proper food or clothing. Martha Washington held her first reception in the White House on Christmas eve. In later times two proclamations by President Lincoln were issued at Christmas time, one freeing the slaves, and the other pardoning those who had taken part in the Civil War. In China For 400 years Christmas has been celebrated in China. It was imported by the foreign missionaries. Millions know nothing of it yet, but it has found ready welcome on part of the Christian converts and many others. There was nothing like it in the Chinese religions and as a children's festival it made a strong appeal. Chinese use the holly and mistletoc, but their Santa Claus is called Lau Khoong-Khoong, or "nice old father." They have a strong sort of Christmas stocking, made of three pieces of muslin sewed together. Decorations are elaborate. Chinese lanterns of various sizes and colors are hung on outside walls of buildings and large gilt lettered texts are suspended, giving appropriate scripture texts. Yellow predominates in the decorations, because that is China's color, and is as prominent as the red, white and blue of our land. Chinese are fond of fireworks, although Christmas songs and carols can be heard in Christian schools and missions, the day is generally ushered in with bombs and crackers. Chinese jugglers and acrobats play an important part in the program. The receiving of presents means as much to the Chinese as to those of other lands. Dolls are favorite presents for the girls There is always a succession of feasts as a wind-up. Lucious looking dainties are spread out, the foreigner will be urged to go from house to house, politeness requiring the eating of some of the things at each place. Christmas in America is no merrier than in the ancient empire of the Chinese. Phillipines To the Philippines, Christmas is a great religious celebration and most of the popular Christmas customs are of a religious character. The chief feature of the holiday season is the performance of little plays or dramas founded on the life of Christ. On Christmas eve every church is open and Christmas is ushered in with a midnight mass. During the whole of Christmas Day mass is celebrated every hour, so that all may attend. When mass is over, the men all hurry away to the cockpit to lay wagers on their favorite birds. Christmas there brings the finest weather. Orange groves are most beautiful, and many of the trees and shrubs seem to try to celebrate by putting forth their fairest blossoms or sweetest fruit. The Christmas customs in Jamaica differ but slightly from those in America. The natives elect a King and Queen of Misrule and indulge in masking.

The steady pulling of the motor and the rattle of the vehicle served only to accentuate the awful loneliness of the country.

The trees that had been rushing past them. Over the uneven road the machine stopped in their tracks, crowded close, Haiti are practicall the same as those in America. St. Chrysostom, who died in the fifth century, informs us in one of his epistles that Julius, on the solicitation of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, caused strict inquiries to be made on the subject, thereafter following what seemed to be the best authentic tradition, and settled authoritatively the 25th of December as the anniversary of Christ's birth. Day Not Known Sir Isaac Newton, in his commentary on the prophecies of Daniel, said that the Feast of Nativity and other ecclesiastical anniversaries were originally fixed at cardinal points of the year without any reference to dates of the incidents which they commemorated, which by lapse of time had become impossible to be ascertained. The general view is that Christmas does not correspond with the actual date of the nativity of our Savior. One objection in particular has been made: that is, that the incident recorded in the scriptures of the shapherds keeping watch by night on the plains of Bethlehem could not have taken place in the month of December, which is a period of inclementy in the Judea region.

If you are Dealer there are certain things that you must take i con- sideration, if you are secoud han-l there are other things that influence you and so on with the tnird and four hands.” One fact I went vw make very im- pressive though, is that on the Ini- Ga! Bid Third and Fourth Haid must need greater bidding strength thar their Partners who have passed their original Sid. It stands uo rea- so: that i. the Dealer needs tour sure bricks to open a bid of one. nis Part- ner must have 2 better holding to make a bid of one on ‘Dealer's pass, which sass, "I have not the minimun) strength necessary for ©. bid ot one.” The same holds true for Fourth Hand. 3f his Patrner has passed because he has not the miniraure strength necessary for an Initial bid. He, the Fourth Wand, must have more than the minimum strength to make a bid o. one Ini- tially. if th: Dealer makes an Ini- tial bid of one he signifies four quick tficks, two in trump and two on the side. His partner only needs to hold these (ricks as they already have four tricks assured. ) bricks in his hand, for he absotutety 1 Knows that his Partner, the Dealer, j cet have over two tricks. This | fs what is known as sound bidding. j and if you follow this example you WHT never assume a contract that ; You cannot fulfil, | ‘the Count if told you last week that you must nave four quick tricks in hand to tuake an Initia! pid of one. Further, T informed you that quick trick bold- ings were Aces and Kings. More ot- ten than not sou will get a hand chat holds anythitig but Aces and Kings. Therefore. vou use judge _ the strength of your hand by comparison That is. by The Count. as I prom- sed vou I would do this week. Ace Counts Four Let an Ace count four (4), a King, three (3): a Queen, two (2); a Jack, one CD); and a Ten Spot, ‘one-halt C2), To make an Initial bid of one you must have two Aces and two Kings, according to my figures, for four quick tricks. Two Aces and two Kings by the Count equal fourteen (4). do they not? That brings us to the fundamental necessity in a Initial bid. Wf your hana counts fourteen you huye the required strength for an initial bid of one. So you see you do not necessarily have to hold two Aces und two Kings to make the Initial bid. Supposing your hand hund has the Ace-Queen in Spades. King-Queen-Jack in Diamonds and the Queen in either Hearts or Clubs, you then have the required strength, for your haud totals a count of fourteen. The only thing necessary then is for you to make an Initial bid of one in your strongest suit. At this time I say strongest suit, but 2 little later on I will show you how to recognize strength in tong suits without Major honors. Short suits come under a count also but that will be taken up jater as I don't want to clog your mind with too many intricate tech- iNicalities, ! Must Have Fourteen T am often asked if it is. always necessary for the Initial bidder to have a count of fourteen before they should bid. Invariably the answer is, yes. All students of Bridge should never {ail to pass unless they have this holding. Later when they are taught “The Play,” this holding re- cedes in mathematical value until it becomes as low as eleven. By that time you have acquired, what we term. Bridge Sense. This is a state of sensing certain things that there is no natural evidence for. Now yot. know the requirements for an Initial Suit bid of one, and you know to ask your Partner to take out an adverse bid when you hold a strong hand, by the Informa- tory Double, so you have some very important fundamentals in Bridge. You ure at least getting off on the right foot and you will not be doing any impossible “or ignorant bidding, when you realize the futility of it. Sound Bidding It is better to bid one and let the hid be taken out by the opponents than to bid two and pay a penalty. You are then bidding sound and it you follow these columns 7 will imake your Play just as sound. A be- ginner who wants to play sound Bridge follows these simple rules: Never bid less than a four card suit: never bid Initial bid of one without a count fo fourteen in the hand never bid @ suit with less than two honors. He always remembers that ait Initial suit bid of one is an invi- tation to his partner to bid No Trump. When making a suit bid in a four card suit be sure that you have the necessary side strength. Don't bid & suit that you just have fair strength in and long length, without some -side ‘strength, Now tha. you have gotten these Initial suit bids of one with four suits and side strength. Next week I will give you five card suits with no side strength and when to bid them. You are now peraning to delve into the deep study of Bridge. Before you start on next week’s article be sure that you have un- Peotone well alt that has gone be- fore. No Exhibition Hands I have been asked by several to play exhibition hands through these columns. Exhibition hands are us- ually prepared hands that are made to bring out some definite point and in themselves are rather confusing to the beginner. “Therefore I shall not bother with them for some time. My idea is lo impress Bridge players in Baltimore that their game can be made as sound and as logical as it Heer DUG.

First I will give you the hands as held; second. the way they were bid: third, the way they should have been bid. “Here goes! — ‘The Hands The Dealer, (south); Spades, 8-5; Hearts, Queen-Jack-Teu-7-6-2; Dia- mond, 9-5~4-3-2: Clubs, none.

Inthe succeeding twa tricks Declarer picked up the remain- ing adverse trumps, opponents win- ning with their King of Clubs, and Declarer making a Small Slam. Comment on Auction Dealer evidently was Pre-empting when he opened bidding with three Hearts, yet he did mot have the strength for a Pr-empt. True enough a Pre-empt shows weakness in some other suit ond a desire to shut out an adverse bid. but to Pre-empt you must have more than ordinary strength for a Pre-empt. True enoneh sibly game. A glance at Dealer's hand shows that the best he can get, even with the chance of his partner holding the Ace-King, is eight tricks, one short of contract, and a Pre- empt informs your partner to “let {t alone.” In this case a Pre-empt is absolutely unsound. The Correction Auction The proper bidding should have been thus: Dealer. One Heart, Sec- ond Hand. pass, Third Hand, with four Hearts headed by the Ace and with long Clubs headed by the King, two Hearts, Fourth Hand, with three suits stopped but with no hearts can- not bid a No Trump, and is forced ts make his strongest suit bid, two Spades, Degler. three Hearts, (he realizes that three Hearts is an im- vossible contracting, but sensine the disadvantage of a Spade contract to himself and partner. he is comuelled to send the Spade bid higher if nos- sible), Second Hand. pass. ‘Third Hand, pass, Fourth Hand. three Spades, followed by three masses. Dealer and his partner are too weak to try to raise the Spade contract higher than three. as it is easy to realize that all of the strencth lies in Fourth Hand. owing to the fact SeLeLelelel®@ > £ od G@ © fe og PoC BIER oe eR eR SS > fe © fey en @. | SS ae ») 32 —= @C@ eNoF s a> 22 « ® Felt Worn-Out © | WAS very weak and e ® had sucha tired feel- @ f@ ing, even when I had not @) > been doing any work,” says > Miss Mary Powell, 258 Onit Q f me gomery.

Delt a Pledgees are Hostesses at a Bridge Luncheon. DEAR PANSY: O course you are all ready for Christmas and sitting down with your hands folded. Can't you see me as usia, madd rush to get a start and as equally rushed to try and catch myself stopping? However, Baltimoreans are forecast for a easy Yuletide, which far less approaching, the little season may find us where sadness is concerned. Our spirit seems to have grasped everybody this year. If you visit our public schools, you'll hear the funful Christmas carols being sung in the different classrooms; rehearsal on for canvases in all the classrooms; charity contributions; social clubs, Big Brother, fraternal orders and this busy making all kinds of preparations for the distribution of well-fitted Christmas baskets to the poor and unfortunate. Social folk are wearing out the modisms with their orders for evening dresses and afternoon frocks for the hundred or more Yuletide activities to say nothing of the last minute details in shopping, and the finishing touches in the most unusual box before us my dear. I give a good puff of a cold-tipped cigarette that you have had a share in the past week's socially speaking meetings of pleasant greetings, the home-cooked in the college boys and you must begin— Seven Debbies to Come Out. Mr. dear, who will be more in evidence and more feted over than the farming buds, who are to make their last appearance in the latest edition of the Elks Cottillion, on Friday evening, December 27, at the new Elks' Hall? Huge affairs are being planned to occur prior to the ball, and after it, the young masters and the young masters of society. Besides a number of receptions and lunches, will be in order by their parents next week and the debubants. Pansy, including Leuse Coleanen, Georgia McMechan, Eath Cardozo, Dr. Lucy Mason, her sister Sara, Louse Cumming, her brother Brian, and their companions be their mas and pas and their escorts. The Adelphian Dance. Well Pansy, the Adelphians' format the dance was the usual season's style, and at the Elks' Hall on Friday evening. Tramed with the rarest of taste, the balloon. I am sure, was tucked in itself and fitted overhead in stromer filled with colored lights shining out from many spots, which proved so beautiful that Santa Claus at Christmas decorations of our gifts containing little paper Christmas trees, were arranged all around the room. In the center, gate way to one paper streamers of the holiday morners. Santa Claus stood very proximately at the front of the orchestra, and maybe he wasn't smiling at his business. It just too satisfying to have happened all in one room. A hundred and fifty guests Phone Gilmor 6410, South DAY AND NIGHT JOSEPH A.

"WRIGHT QUALITY" Phone Madison 4464 1364 N. Carey St. Baltimore, Md. a nice crowd to keep refreshed and merry. Where all the beautiful ladies dropped their gowns looked as if they came direct from gay Parre, and they had unanimously agreed to adopt the new longies. It was so hard to realize how chaining and how feline the new gowns were, and they were made to feminine charms, making the stout folks look slimmer, and the slim ones more willwilde. Pansy, there were soft reds, near-reds and blacks, but the ones by Connie Wharton, only as she can wear such. Mrs. Robert Jackson was adorned exquisitely in the new Indian shade of red velvet, Blanch McRae, Clara Robinson, and Theresa Wilson, also adorned also in the different red shades. A beautiful green tulle and sequin creation was worn by Helen Curtis, who with her sisters. Hattie Gordon in blue taffeta, and Sveye Grow in a white taffeta. Wilson, attractively in red georette, with silver turban, made a striking group of Capital visitors. Josephine Gibson and her sister, Eloise Wright, with her father, Jeffchen, looked charming with that delightful fall in the back. These were not all the colors and pretty materials that blended so well with the soft holiday lights, but enough to give you idea of the colors on that table. So if appearances mean anything, tell you, it seemed as if the old Santa provided by the club, had just given out valuable presents to everyone, for the holidays. But each countenance were good to see, and indicated that the club had gone to much expense and had used much time in planning what easily proved to be a success. The music, the decorations, the punch and even the service, arranged for the convenience of the Adelphians guests were commendable. Mae's Miscellaneous Shower Pansy, my dear, with all Thelma Johnson's aid, her sister Edith's previous arrangement for a surprise miscellaneous invitation for her home on Friday for Mae Richards, who accepted the proposal of her noble knight, John Taylor, of Kentucky for better or for worse to take effect on Friday, December 21, at her home in New York, to do some quick thinking in order that the event would turn on or as a complete surprise. Inviting Mae to go with Thelma out calling seemed easy, but she did not find things, so Mae just had to want to go to the places contrary to Thelma's wishes. Five o'clock, girl, was drawing near—the time for the bunch to arrive at Thelma's home—but Mae, too, was busy with her things, as she insisted on dining at the Majestic Hotel. Ye gods and little fishes, Pansy, she ordered the longest menu and seemingly took extra pains to chew her food times as she as was assessed on how it is to do the next channel. Of course, by that time Thelma had high blood pressure and only by a quick telephone message she wanted more food, did they actually land at Thelma's. On entering the living room, the whole place suddenly went dark, and the wedding at the piano, began playing the wedding march, and the secret was out. Mae. still bewarelder, was handed the room to find her gifts, which were cleverly hidden. As she found them she piled them in the center of the room, and the numerous presents, including the silverware, chosen of china, hand-made linens and what-not, with insinuing little verses and motions on the piano, which was from 5 to 7 in the evening, wound up with a lovely seated supper. Mae was: too full to cry, too surprised and excited to ever utter a word, but her countenance shone through all her thoughts and her 1910 and Madison 4922-WIGHT SERVICE A.

I have just received the nicest missive from Mr. John M. Pollard, who assures me that he associates with the Recreation Association, who says that he regrets so much not being able to thank everybody who helped so generously the recent event. But he does not, however, he hopes to have the time to see everyone personally and congratulate them and thank them also, for helping Mr. Pollard. Pausy, is one of those personalities that, whenever or what he asks, you just have to say yes. He moves like lightning and his way works in a great benefit to the race, and we all want him to feel he is welcome here at any time. Mr. Pollard, by the way, is now in Augusta, Ga., and carrying on the same simu Irving Lockerman's Party. Pansy, Irvin Lockerman was guest of honor at his own apartment Division and Bloom streets, on last Friday. The affair was gotten up by a number of the teachers at School No. 123, where he is a member of the faculty there, and a jolly bunch of his other friends, teacher Alice, an arranging things there and seeing to it that the honored guest was kept out of the way until the right time. The museum were decorated so pretty with suggestions of the coming holiday—and the gifts he did receive. Radio music was rendered for dancing, and a mermaid couldn't be matched. They were, Alice Macbeth of course, Lillian Stewart, Mary and Samuel Murray, the James Randals, Calvin Wallace Newton, Halle Wilson, Martin Harmon, Elizabeth Jenkins, Hattie Tilghman, Rosalee Rawlings, Katherine Fletcher, Catherine Grooms, Bertha Chatman, and the boy friends, of course; George Simms, Mellon Carr, Henry Sims, Irving Wing, Jack Forrest, John Goldsbrough and James Simms.

The Dell' Sacrity Pansy, put over a very unusual bridge luncheon at Rosetta Murray's home from 2 to 6 honoring their older sisters, Lillian Dotson, Milford Lynch, Ollie Bowers, Anne Bowers, Verona Woodward, Anne Bowers, Hilda Hilda Henson, Elsie Brond and Shirley McCaun. Their security colors, crimson and gold, used as decorations made a beautiful effect all over the room. The newly number was sung by the pledgees and in turn was responded to by their superiors. As a special feature, Rosetta danced a beautiful bridge was the order of the evening, followed by a pleasing and enjoyable luncheon. Lovely prizes, Pansy were given, Rosetta danced Lillian Dallon, Hilda Henson and Elsie Brond. Red candies furnished the lighting effect for luncheon, and favors of gold basket, containing delicious assortments of red candies, served as place cards. The pledgees were: Rosetta Murray, Marian Praticite, Clara Dow, Mildora Jackson, Loma Randolph Eligible, Marina Wood, and Louise McCaun.

COMMERCIAL SAVINGS BANK ENTERS TWENTIETH YEAR Entering its twentieth year of service, the Commercial Savings Bank of Baltimore looks forward to a prosperous year and year after year. The every indication that greater things are in store for this city: bigger business, more profits, more wealth; and in this prosperity, more success. To grow and play an assuming part. This institution was established in 1910 on a very small scale. Slowly and surely, it made progress and prosperity, and stepped along steadily and always on a solid foundation through good times and hard times; always in a splendid liquid condition operating well. The funds of the bank are admirably diversified. It has many small loans—lending to over two thousand people and only to those who are deficient. It gives one hundred to one thousand dollars. For liquid asset purposes, funds are invested in first-class bonds. If one company is large and many businesses in which this bank has diversified its funds, lending and investing a very small amount to any one individual or company, and its investments in other companies, would probably look like a palorama of American business. Sharing the prosperity of many people and industries, the Commercial Savings Bank is said a solid and conservative foundation. The bank has two branches, one at 1394 W. North Avenue and one at 925 E. Baltimore Street, where it is located. People from all sections of the city and of all classes are transacting business with this bank. During these transactions, the bank provides unlicensed service to many people, helping them to establish themselves in business and rendering similar services for their benefit. Service is a key part of the bank's business and officers are continually looking toward helping its depositors. It is a real pleasure to come into this bank. The courteous and friendly treatment everyone and makes greatifying and makes transacting business with them pleasing. The people in the bank state that it is a source of business and makes element is one of the outstanding features of their institution, and that they like to think of their depositors and treat them not as a burden but as friends. And that is one of the reasons why the Commercial Savings Bank commands over 7,500 savings accounts and close to Christmas Savings Club accounts. The management of the bank consists of a group of honest, competent, and dedicated bankers, and its related fields. They are continually working, watching thins, rendering service, their greatest aim, being to create a solid foundation for institution. The officers state that the Commercial Savings Bank will maintain its policies in a sound, conservative practice of operation and friendly service.

S. GIFT try there was no celebration of Christmas among the Pilgrims or Puritans. Those who came over on the Mayflower celebrated Christmas on that ship for the last time for many years. There was a law passed in 1647 abolishing the observance of Christmas, but the law was repealed in 1659. Christmas in Virginia Later Christmas was celebrated as a season of plenty and merriment, especially in Virginia where it was the red letter day of the year—the most joyous of all holidays. Yule-tide has been connected with important events in history. In 1776 Washington crossed the Delaware river on Christmas night to capture the Hessians. The next year the soldiers spent Christmas at Valley Forge, sick and discouraged, without proper food or clothing. Martha Washington held her first reception in the White House on Christmas eve. In later times two proclamations by President Lincoln were issued at Christmas time, one freeing the slaves, and the other pardoning those who had taken part in the Civil War. In China: For 400 years Christmas has been celebrated in China. It was imported by the foreign missionaries. Millions know nothing of it yet, but it has found ready welcome on part of the Christian converts and many others. There was nothing like it in the Chinese religions and as a children's festival it made a strong appeal. Chinese use the holly and mistletoe, but their Santa Claus is called Lau Khoong-Khoong, or "nice old father." They have a strong sort of Christmas stocking, made of three pieces of muslin sowed together. Decorations are elaborate. Chinese lanterns of various sizes and colors are hung on outside walls of buildings and large gilt lettered texts are suspended, giving appropriate scripture texts. Yellow predominates in the decorations, because that is China's color, and is as prominent as the red, white and blue of our land. Chinese are fond of fireworks, although Christmas songs and carols can be heard in Christian schools and missions, the day is generally ushered in with bombs and crackers. Chinese jugglers and acrobats play an important part in the program. The receiving of presents means as much to the Chinese as to those of other lands. Dolls are favorite presents for the girls. There is always a succession of feasts as a wind-up. Lucious looking dainties are spread out, the foreigner will be urged to go from house to house, politeness requiring the eating of some of the things at each place. Christmas in America is no merrier than in the ancient empire of the Chinese. Chillipines To the Philipines, Christmas is a great religious celebration and most of the popular Christmas customs are of a religious character. The chief feature of the holiday season is the performance of little plays or dramas founded on the life of Christ. On Christmas eve every church is open and Christday is ushered in with a midnight mass. During the whole of Christmas Day mass is celebrated every hour, so that all may attend. When mass is over, the men all hurry away to the cockpit to lay wagers on their favorite birds. Christmas there brings the finest weather. Orange groves are most beautiful, and many of the trees and shrubs seem to try to celebrate by putting forth their fairest blossoms or sweetest fruit. The Christmas customs in Jamaica differ but slightly from those in America. The natives elect a King and Queen of Misrule and indulge in masking.

The steady pushing of the moto and the rattle of the vehicle served only to accentuate the awful loneliness of the country. They rocketed past the huddled cabins of a settlement and struck a narrow dirt road that led out through a stand of yellow pine toward the swamp that lay black and solid against the horizon Hagar's fingers clumped down on Slim shoulder. "Stop," she whispered. Under her hand the machine seemed to die in midair, gasping, and settling suddenly to earth. The trees that had been rushing past them Over the uneven road the machine stopped in their tracks crowded close. Heiti are practicall the same as those in America. St. Chrysostom, who died in the fifth century, informs us in one of his epistles that Julius, on the solicitation of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, caused strict inquiries to be made on the subject, thereafter following what seemed to be the best authentic tradition, and settled authoritatively the 25th of December as the anniversary of Christ's birth. Day Not Known Sir Isaac Newton, in his commentary on the prophecies of Daniel, said that the Feast of Nativity and other ecclesiastical anniversaries were originally fixed at cardinal points of the year; without any reference to dates of the incidents which they commemorated, which by lapse of time had become impossible to be ascertained. Inclement Weather The general view is that Christmas does not correspond with the actual date of the nativity of our Savior. One objection in particular has been made: that is that the incident recorded in the scriptures of the shepherds keeping watch by night on the plains of Bethlehem could not have taken place in the month of December, which is a period of inclemency in the Judea region.

When yo's ready to go home, yo' can wake me up." But now the initiative had passed to Hagar. She caught Mamba by the arm and urged. "Come on Ma, we ain't need no man to help." They would soon be there now. Haga explained as she hurried the old woman forward. This wa the place where Bluton ran his crap game. A little farther it the swamp's edge, they would find the cabit.

W TALIAFERRO Last week I tried to impress you ith the fact that the position in nich you sit has a wonderful influ- once on the way that you second bid your hand. Never forget that. If you are Dealer there are certain things that you must take or consideration. If you are second hand there are other things that influence you and so on with the third and four hands. One fact I want to make very impressive though, is that on the Initial Bid Third and Fourth Hand must need greater bidding strength than their Partners who have passed their original bid. It stands to reason that i. the Dealer needs four sure tricks to open a bid of one. ii. Partner must have a better holding to make a bid of one on Dealer's pass, which says. "I have not the minimum strength necessary for a bid of one." The same holds true for Fourth Hand. If his Patrner has passed because he has not the minimum strength necessary for an Initial bid, He, the Fourth Hand, must have more than the minimum strength to make a bid o. one Initially. If the Dealer makes an Initial bid of one he signifies four quick tricks, two in trump and two on the side. His partner only needs to hold these tricks as they already have four tricks assured. who have NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING hair Pretty rmitting the most becoming styles arrance at all times.

Address EXELENTO MEDICINE COMPANY ATLANTA, GEORGIA EXE LENTO COBINE EXE LENTO SKIN COBINE EXE LENTO FAGE POWDER In leave pass, which signifies each of a four trick holding, partner must have at least five quick tricks in his hand, for he absolutely knows that his Partner, the Dealer, can't have over two tricks. This what is known as sound bidding, and if you follow this example you will never assume a contract that you cannot fulfill. The Court I told you last week that you must have four quick tricks in hand to make an Initial bid of one. Further, I informed you that quick trick holdings were Aces and Kings. More often than not you will get a hand hat holds anything but Aces and Kings. Therefore, you must judge the strength of your hand by comparison. That is, by Th Count, as I promised you I would do this week. Ace Counts Four Let an Ace count four (4) a King, threc (3): a Queen, two (2); a Jack, one (1); and a Ten Spot, one-half (4). To make an Initial bid of one you must have two Aces and two Kings, according to my figures, for four quick tricks. Two Aces and two Kings by the Count equal tourteen (14), do they not? That brings us to the fundamental necessity in a Initial oid. If your hand counts fourteen you have the required strength for an Initial bid of one. So you see you do not necessarily have to hold two Aces and two Kings to make the Initial bid. Supposing your hand hand has the Ace-Queen in Spades, King-Queen-Jack in Diamonds and the Queen in either Hearts or Clubs, you then have the required strength, for your hand totals a count of fourteen. The only thing necessary then is for you to make an Initial bid of one in your strongest suit. At this time I say strongest suit, but a little later on I will show you how to recognize strength in long suits without Major honors. Short suits come under a count also but that will be taken up later as I don't want to clog your mind with too many intricate technicalities. Must Have Fourteen I am often asked if it is always necessary for the Initial bidder to have a count of fourteen before they should bid.. Invariably the answer is, yes. All students of Bridge should never fall to pass unless they have this holding. Later when they are taught "The Play," this holding recedes in mathematical value until it becomes as low as eleven. By that time you have acquired, what we term, Bridge Sense. This is a state of sensing certain things that there is no natural evidence for. Now you know the requirements for an Initial Suit bid of one, and you know to ask your Partner to take out an adverse bid when you hold a strong hand, by the Informatory Double, so you have some very important fundamentals in Bridge. You are at least getting off on the right foot and you will not be doing any impossible or ignorant bidding, when you realize the futility of it. Sound Bidding It is better to bid one and let the bid be taken out by the opponents than to bid two and pay a penalty. You are then bidding sound and if you follow these columns you will make your Play just as sound. A beginner who wants to play sound Bridge follows these simple rules: Never bid less than a four card suit; never bid Initial bid of one without a count of fourteen in the hand never bid a suit with less than two honors. He always remembers that an Initial suit bid of one is an invitation to his partner to bid No Trump. When making a suit bid in a four card suit he sure that you have the necessary side strength. Don't bid a suit that you just have fair strength in and long length, without some side strength. Now tha you have gotten these Initial suit bids of one with four suits and side strength. Next week I will give you five card suits with no side strength and when to bid them. You are now beginning to delve into the deep study of Bridge. Before you start on next week's article be sure that you have understood well all that has gone before. No Exhibition Hands No Exhibition Hands I have been asked by several to play exhibition hands through these columns. Exhibition hands are usually prepared hands that are made to bring out some definite point and in themselves are rather confusing to the beginner. Therefore I shall not bother with them for some time. My idea is to impress Bridge players in Baltimore that their game can be made as sound and as logical as it is anywhere else. I will give me immense gratification to know that through my humble efforts Baltimoreans can hold their own with Bridge players anywhere in the country. Through these columns I give you what help and assistance I can to improve your games and to start the beginners in Bridge off on the right foot. Cooperative Bldding Remember mainly that if your bidding is cooperative your play will be easy. The only way you can make your bidding cooperative is through informative methods. To show you the real value of cooperative bidding I am going to give you a hand that I saw bid and played during my ramblings last week among the various Bridge games. I am giving you the holdings of the four hands and the way they were bid. Then I will give R. W. Taliaferro Teacher of Bridge Call Lafayette 3077 the correct way they should have been bid. But I am not giving you the pay. I want you to figure that out for yourself. Then when the hand is played by me the following week you will be able to deduce the standard of your mobility. After playing Bridge for a number of years and making a study of the game a player acquires the ability to sense certain possibilities in one bidding and also in the play of Bridge hands. It is this ability to sense things that gives some players a considerable advantage over others who know almost as much about the game. First I will give you the hands as held; second the way they were bid; third the way they should have been bid. Here goes! --- The Hands The Dealer, (south); Spades, 8-5; Hearts, Queen-Jack-Ten-7-6-2; Diamond, 9-5-4-3-2 Clubs, none. Second Hand (west), Spades, 9-6-4-2; Hearts, King, 9-3; Diamonds, 10-8; Clubs, 10-9-4-2. Third Hand, north—Dealer's partner), Spades, 7-3; Hearts, Ace-8-5-4; Diamonds, 7-6; Clubs, King, 7-6-5-3. Fourth Hand. (east), Spades, Ace-King- Queen-Jack-Ten; Hearts, none; Diamonds, Ace-King-Queen; Clubs, Ace-Queen-Jack-8. The Dealer opened with a declaration of three hearts, (a Pre-empt), Second Hand, passed; Third Hand passed, Fourth Hand, Three Spades, Dealer, passed, Second Hand passed, Third Hand. Four Hearts, Fourth Hand four Spades. Dealer, five Hearts, Second Hand, Pass, Third Hand, pass, Fourth Hand, five Spades, followed by three passes, Fourth Hand became the Declarer with a contract of five Spades, undoubled. The Play Dealer, (now, Senior Hand), opened with his highest card in sequence the Queen of Hearts. Declarer played King from Dummy, which Dealer's partner, (now, Junior Hand), overcook with the Acc, and Declarer won with a trump. In the succeeding tricks Declarer picked up the remaining adverse trumps, opponents winning with their King of Clubs, and Declarer making a Small Slam. Dealer evidently was Pre-empting when he opened bidding with three Hearts, yet he did not have the strength for a Pre-empt. True enough a Pre-empt shows weakness in some other suit and a desire to shut out an adverse bid, but to Pre-empt you must have more than ordinary strength for a Pre-empt. True in sibly game. A glance at Dealer's hand shows that the best he can get, even with the chance of his partner holding the Ace-King, is eight tricks, one short of contract, and a Pre-empt informs your partner to "let it alone." In this case a Pre-empt is absolutely unsound. The Correction Auction The proper bidding should have been thus: Dealer One Heart, Second Hand, pass, Third Hand, with four Hearts headed by the Ace and with long Clubs headed by the King, two Hearts, Fourth Hand, with three suits stopped but with no hearts cannot bid a No Trump, and is forced to make his strongest suit bid, two Spades. Dealer three Hearts. (the realizes that three Hearts is an impossible contracting, but sensing the disadvantage of a Spade contract to himself and partner, he is compelled to send the Spade bid higher if possible). Second Hand, pass, Third Hand, pass. Fourth Hand three Spades, followed by three passes. Dealer and his partner are too weak to try to raise the Spade contract higher than three, as it is easy to realize, that all of the strength lies in Fourth Hand, owing to the fact A. Felt Worn-Out "I WAS very weak and had such a tired feeling, even when I had not been doing any work," says Miss Mary Powell, 253 Oak St., Montgomery. Ala., whose picture is printed above. "I was sleepy and no matter how much I rested, or sat around I still felt worn-out. I had a bad taste in my mouth, and I ached all the time. "I felt like I needed a tonic, and as I had heard so much of Cardul and what it had done for others, I thought it would help me "After my first bottle, I felt more like eating than I had before, and I didn't feel quite so tired. I kept on taking it, and I gained and felt so much better. It sure is a splendid tonic." CARDUI Helps Women to Health EC-24 The Start of the Play Senior Hand led his highest card in sequence, the Queen of Hearts, to which Declarer played the King from Dummy Junior Hand overtook with the Ace and Declarer trumped in Closed Hand. Complete the play of this hand and see what you make with it. Could Declarer have made more than a small Slam, or could the adversaries have stopped him from making that much? Play it yourself and then watch these columns next week for the way I would have played had I been Declarer Bridge Clubs playing this hand this week and wishing me to watch the play can get me by calling Lafayette 3077. I not only will watch the play by the members but when they finish will play the hand for them. This is to Clubs only and not to individuals. A. for your description.

SMALLWOOD—In sad but loving remembrance—in our dear mother, Jessica, we passed away seventeen years, December 22, 1913: Deep in our heart lies a picture of a loved one laid to rest. In memory's frame we shall keep it. Because she was one of the best. We have only your memory, dear mother. To our whole life through. But the sweetness will linger forever as we treasure the image of you. By her sons, RAYMOND AND WASHINGTON SMALLWOOD. VING—Robert Liewellen—In loving memory of our dear son and our loving brother, who passed away December 18, 1919: There are loved ones who miss you sadly. sadly, And find the time long since you want. And we think of you daily and hourly, But try to be brave and content. But there are tears that we shed in silence. We cannot. Lord, thy purpose see But all is well that'd done by Thee. By his parents, MR. and MRS. CHARLES C. WING and BROTHERS. WING—In fond remembrance of our grandson and nephew. Robert L. van der veer died 10 years ago. December 16, 1819. We always think of you. Llewellyn, in your home beyond the skies, Where you ar free from all pain And all your earthly trials. We long to hear your tender voice. As we move 1 can day to day. But thoughts of you in Paradise Give us strength to see the away. By his grandfather aunt, H. L BOYER and M. E. VILLIAMS. WAITURS—In loving remembrance of my dear father, August Waituris, who departed this life March 12. 1929. Oft and oft my thoughts wander To the grave so far away: Where we laid my dear father, Nine months ago today. What would happen to his hand his face to see To hear his voice and see his smile That meant so much to me. A happy home I once enjoyed How sweet the memory still But death has left a loneliness The world can never fill. By his loving daughter, MRS. EMMA MELURKIN. Three lonely years have passed away Since our great sorrows fell: The shock that we received that night We still remember well. Peacefully sleeping, resting at last. The work of great trouble and trials In silence she suffered, in patience she bore Till God called her home to suffer no more. We have lost our souls' companion A life linked with our own And day by day we missed her more And night by night we lived alone. By her devoted DAUGHTERS and GRANDCHILDREN.

In return they receive decade after decade, in- finitely more than the purchase price.

Thrifty amateurs, the great pianists, and the most celebrated figures in -the world of music buy “the Steinway for other reasons than economy.
