He has worked on highways and bridges, involving the expenditure of millions of city funds for opening of streets and building of viaducts; the deliberations of viaducts; the carriages carried on with system and dispatch. The council president has not only witnessed this work, but has been something of a wizard himself in pushing the work of the city through council.

MARCUS GARVEY SETS JAMAICA IN UPROAR Barely in the City Council, He Campaigns for Legislature. HAS 26 PLANKS KINGSTON, Jamaica. — Marcus Garvey, president of the U.N.I.A., has set the King's royal island of Jamaica in an uproar. Although Garvey was given the oath of office and has taken his seat in the city council, legal efforts are still being made to oust him on the ground that he was absent for three meetings without leave. Garvey contends that since he was sentenced to prison for three months for contempt of court, he wasn't a member of the city council though he hadn't taken the oath of office therefore no leave was necessary. Merry Campaign While this legal debate is going on, the Senate has not passed a bill for election to the legislature. Palmerton for election to the legislature. pain for election to the legislature. The 28 planks in his platform including a Jamaica University, a polytechnic institute and a government high school, a public library in the city, an open public library and an academy of music and art, a court stenographer to take notes of all proceedings in higher courts, a legal aid department to help the poor who are unable to hire lawyers, a change of the King's compulsory working-hour insurance and an eight-hour day. The island titered when his first political speech after coming out of prison, Garvey said: "I will go to prison because I have added another plank to my platform. We are going to have better prisons so that we go there, we will have better conditions. Since we have to pay for the upkeep of the prison, we had better have a better prison." **Mayor Declines Welcome** Jamaican also sit up and took notice when the mayor of the city welcome the usual welcome to the new city, "occupational-saving," would not be on behalf of the council." But again Garvey followers were conduised with laughter when, the same day, they read an editorial in the Garvey daily which then thus: "The mayor of the municipality is an unmitigated and incorrigible "William Rufns" In a typical Garvey campaign speech he is said to have referred to one of the judges of the island who imprisoned him for contempt of court as William Rufus. There he was accused when Garvey accused. He said: "I never knew our rights stopped with William Rufus. (A voice from behind the speaker says, 'Who is William Rufus?')" "Garvey—'Somebody asks who is William Rufus?' (More laughter.)" "He said he had a happy time in prison. He said he had learned a lesson from his imprisonment in Jamaica and in America." "I needed rest which probably I wouldn't have had. First time I went to prison, I was so怕 dying to near dying that I never knew it until I had absolute rest. Then I found out that my nerves were partly gone, so they saved my life, my good friends in America." "And I never knew I was suffering from being my good friends here since me over to Spanish Town where I got better." Attacked by Shark "I have escaped death several times. When I was a boy I escaped from a shark and had it not been for the providential appearance of my good friend who took a cocado pear, which I found in a remote corner of the pantry. I would probably have died from rat poison. Shot at 6 Times. "A man took six times and I escaped. I was even able to run after him and catch him and deliver him to the police. The next time I was about to die. I had overworked myself. I worked eleven years without rest. When I sent them for five years to the pententiary and it was after they sent me there that I found out how bad off I was. Another Rest. "Then I went to Jamaica and had this big convention with all the excitement and worry and I was just about embarking on another big job when they said. No, Garvey, you had better take a rest." And now I feel 10.000-20.000 Crowds "You cannot stop me with jail, neither can you stop me with anything else. The scaffold, the guillotine, the gallows, the electric chair—the are the things that are responsible for our civilization; and Marcus Garvey is not ignorant of the people. It is estimated that crowds varing from 10,000 to 20,000 are hearing Garvey's campaign speeches. WILSON FIGHTS TO OUTLAW VA. ELKS RICHMOND, Va.-War between Grand Exalted Ruler J.

Cohen, white, as attorneys, Deans carried his case to the courts. He segregation ordinance is entirely new and different from all other ordinances of the kind 'basing its authority on the Virginia state racial integrity act and segregation ordinance', which was the forerunner of the segregation law as passed in Baltimore, Louisville and 'other cities of the country'. For Deans held that the segregation ordinance was a violation of the 14th Amendment, and that the right to own property preceded statutes and doesn't origin to the law. His attorney said: "If it were once conceded that the legislature may lawfully exclude a person of color from a square, if already occupied in the majority by the white race, then it would logically follow that it could deny him residence in every county of the state."

Hoover asked President Harding to stand behind his desk in his executive office, cock his head to one side and listen attentively to whatever a spokesman for colored people said. He listened carefully, but he had the attitude of "Leave it to me and I'll fix it." Usually he turned the matter over to his subordinates, but the delegates went away feeling that the President had united Slaves under one president's problems and wanted to encourage them. Coolidge Policy Coolidge also had this happy faculty. While Harding said, "Leave it to me," Coolidge said, "Leave it to time." "Be patient, everything will come on its crispr," he used to tell the delegation, and Mr. Coolidge somehow had the happy faculty of carrying his point. Hoover Different President Hoover is different. There seem to be more bodyguards and secret service men standing about ready to yank the hands of White House callers out of their pockets. They stand about during the audience, when the President is either fingeting. The President, himself, is abrupt. Reminds of Ritchie He reminds callers of Governor Ritchie of Maryland, although if anything, Ritchie is more patient than Daytona. Fla. is an example. During the audience of the memorial commission with the President, Mrs. Bethune expressed her hope that the United States might find a way to mke an appropriation for the arts international Negro memorial. Her words were carefully selected and intoned in a typical Bethune manner. President Hoover's reaction, however, was startling. **Hoover Snaps** "That's a matter for Congress," he snapped. The entire delegation must have felt rebuffed. They knew as they filed out that the chief executive was not sympathetic to the President's desk lay a piece of paper that was indicative of his character. It was a white memorandum sheet covered with circles, squares, triangles and intricate geometric fixtures, traced in ink, while he memorized or written on instructions for the telephone. Yes. President Hoover is not only too busy to pose with delegations for a picture, but he is also too busy to talk with them patiently. N.C.

Let's Give these White People a Rising Vote of Thanks and Remain Standing—for the Things that Count. Negroes are always talking about what white people have done to them. Some white people have done and some are still doing some mighty wicked things to Negroes. Some are still doing some done and some are still doing more for us than we have done or are now doing for ourselves. Rescued our Music They rescued our music. Twenty years ago Negroes were ashamed of their own music. Negro students in our greatest university had a revolt against singing it. Scalloped North, in scorn at it, updressed up their noses in scorn at it; white Americans loved it and rescued it for us. As a result, today, the world weeps when Roland Hayes pours out the soul of his race in its own wild, weird, and plaintive songs. Booker Washington Secondly, white Americans discovered and immortalized Booker T. Washington for us: Negroes never left at him. White Americans threw bouquets and greenbacks at him. Had it been left to us, Tuskegee would be a little two by four school in the backwoods of Alabama, because we didn't want to learn how to work, and that's all we Tuskegee taught. White people accepted the new gospel of industrial education as a thing of fundamental value in the life of the nation: we despised and tried to repudiate it. Third, the genius and labor of Paul Laurence Dunbar would have been lost had white Americans not put it between the two. He was a permanent place in the libraries of the world and above all, a warm place in men's hearts. Hayes Fourthly, they opened every theatre in the world to Roland Hayes and wep him as he carried his race to the world to vary to see the triumph of Jesus Christ at the Crucifixion. Carter Woodson White Americans saw Carter G. Woodson sitting helplessly before the hidden achievements of his race long—to tell the world the legacy of the race—America during the past three hundred years. They gave him the money to write the history of the race—to preserve its story of struggle and its record of achievement. They opened wide the door of science to George W. Carver and displayed his fifty-seven varieties to the world. They have established the goddess of hundreds of other Negro genius. These are spiritual contributions because They are the unstinted recognition of genius and the conservation and development of things that are of fundamental value in the life of the race and the nation. The Material Realm Let us drop down out of the realm of the spiritual and list just a few of the contributions that white people have made to the material development of the Negro in America: 1. They have financed all of our large schools and are now endowing several them. 2. They have built all of our W. W. and M. Y. C. A. s. 4. White Americans have created all the foundations that we have to support them. 5. White people have nurtured our National Advancement Association and have been at the bottom of it. God grant that the bottom will never drop out. 6. They contribute three-fourths of the support to Negro charities. 7. They contribute to the support of a million Negroes in a million ways. Now now they are giving us scholarship and others — for just being smart for one year. 8. The Quakers are backing our Peace Movement. We help these groups and princely gifts there is that even greater and more sacred contribution that was made by the Grand Army of Abolitionists who died to make us free. Their bodies are mouldering in the dirt but their spirits are marching on. 9. Miss Springer Speaks.

Negroes have come to the conclusion that the cup of tea which Mr. Oscar DePriest sipped at the White House is to be the only contribution which the Hoover administration extends to make to the 15,000,000 Negroes in the state, a traditional part of the group which placed President Hoover in power. Only Two Posts Held At present only two important Federal positions are held by Negroes in the state. Harding-Coolidge administration is the recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, held by Arthur G. Proe of West Virginia, and the other that of municipal judge of the District of Columbia, held by James James, the mayor of positions which have formerly been held by colored men have been vacant for several months. One the special assistant to the attorney general, has been vacant since Perril W. Howard, national commiteeeman of Mississippi, resigned last spring. James James, the mayor of Georgia, has been vacant since the date of W. T. Francis in July. The women of the country are aroused over the treatment of Mr George S. Williams, national committeewoman for Georgia, who has been completely ignored by the present administration. Mr Williams has not been accused of any irregularities in office, she is not considered in questions of patronage nor consulted matters of policies in the State represents, where she was former given consideration.

Army, Washington. Although 1,268 colored soldiers are interred in the American foreign cemeteries, the list which is being compiled to date shows only a few ordered mothers, who are moulded into the pilgrimage. This number is somewhat smaller than was at first estimated, due to the fact that investigation revealed a large number of deaths among the mothers of heroes, while those were not included in marriage in instances. A small percentage have not been located to date. Tips Also Provided Uncle Sam, as host, will spare nothing in providing for the comfort and welfare of the pilgrims. Every detail is being prepared for a competent personnel will be assigned to provide for them every attention.

DETROIT Mich. — Most of the behavior problems in the Detroit public schools occur where there is less than the average intelligence, according to Harry J. Baker, clinical psychologist, who studied the results of a survey involving 1,357 pupils in the schools. The survey shows that of the troublesome pupils, 2.8 per cent were of superior in intelligence; 25 per cent average; and 71.4 per cent were below average. The retarded pupils also gave more trouble than others. The survey shows that 49.2 per cent of the troublesome pupils, were retarded, 42.6 per cent were in their correct grades, and 40 per cent were ahead of their grades. Bright pupils, according to the survey are more apt to interfere with their neighbors to bully and to cheat. Dull pupils are more apt to fight, to lie and to cheat. Gradings The 3B and 1A grades are ones in which disturbers are apt to collect. In the more serious behavior of children, involving such problems as stealing, lying and gamboling, with white and/or colored girls are worse. Whites were shown to be worse in interference, in stealing and in setting fires. Colored children in the fighting, shearing, wounding and cruelty. The differences in interference Differences According to the survey, the bright children are cruel, selfish and interfere with others. The dull children are more apt to cheat, steal, fight and lie. Final Conclusion In his final conclusion, M. Baker says: "On account of the limited number of children, small differences, any conclusions as to fundamental differences between the pupils of different ages, sexes or races should be accepted. Our survey was not in any sense to emphasize characteristics or possible differences, but to study the individual children as they are reported to us if there were any of these cases in habit or behavior clinics and find that all groups or parties are brought together on a very common ground of education and training of children." In cheating, which is one of the most serious problems in the school system, the colored rank higher than the whites; the white boys 31.6, white girls 42.7, colored boys 36.5, colored girls 45.1, colored pupils in grade 3B.

He said: "Non-Negro Carriers harps more than ever in the state in North Carolina, has made greater and more constructive progress in the fields of social welfare and better race relations," this can be accounted for because North Carolina has been the leader in both races. The State Board of Charities and Public Welfare through its division of Negro Work has endeavored to meet a long recognized need for a constructive work for Negroes. "Intelligent study of the social problems of the Negro community and family, and the development of the community through the stimulating of co-operative self-help effort on the part of the Negroes of the state have been the major points of effort." "Five years of unremitting effort have produced results of importance. At the close of the five-year period, co-operative work in the counties in North Carolina in which welfare work for Negroes was well organized or in process of organization. On the same date, the Negro community has employed workers in cities and counties, and the State Department of Public Welfare. These workers are employed by local officers, assistant public welfare workers, and special research workers." Pastors Pledge Confidence in Bishop Carey DETROIT, — The A. M. E.

But in view of that, I make this statement: "I regard the matter as frivolous. Rev. D. E. Thompson was moved November 1928 as any illiterate preacher may be more interested in conference and records of Central Alabama Conference held in Montgomery December 1929 will show that he was expelled from that conference. He was defeated against me ever since, aided by some few jealous persons outside of the State, or at least, not concerned in the Sixth Episcopal District of which I am the head. I wish the public to know that these complaints by Rev. Mr. Thompson are not founded on any reason or fact and could not be sustained if prosecuted by enemies of mine. "I "T make no apology for my stewardship. It may not have been as successful as I desired, but it has been honest and faithful." Concerning the trial, which he has summoned in Birmingham, Alabama, the bishop no statement.

And his workers did the compressed air work on the Holland tunnel, the Bell Telephone and the Standard Oil buildings, and are now employed in the construction of the Irving Trust Company's building.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 18, 1930 BUFFALO HOTEL DESIRED BAN ON JOHN HOPE College Head Stops Instead at Leading City Club. POPULATION NEW Most of 12,000 are Migrants Since the War. By J. A. ROGERS BUFFALO, N. Y.—Buffalo has a colored population of 12,000, the greater part of which came here during the World War. There is no residential segregation, and being in the more civilized area of America, there is perhaps less color prejudice than is to be found in most Northern cities. Some of the leading hotels however would not have Negro guests, and one of them, a week ago, would have admitted Dr. John Hope only to have meals to have his meals in the dining-room. It was also stipulated that he must not go to the desk to register. Hope stopped instead at one of the leading clubs, which, however, does not indicate much, as it once refused to serve a darker Negro who was to be one of a party at dinner there with the result that the dinner was served elsewhere. The Negro was no other than the secretary of the YMCA. Business Buffalo cannot be said to be a progressive city, racially. This *i*-attributed to the comparatively recent emergence of a black community which, prior to the migration numbered but a few thousand. Negroes are also too scattered to build up businesses of their own and colored businesses. We deal on white customers. There is, however, an active branch of the National Negro Business League of white customers. Lewis is president. H. W. Jackson is secretary of the X.M.C.A. is secretary Physiclane There are several physicians among whom are: Drs. D. L. Scruggs. H. H. Lewis, J. L. Waters, Luther White, E. N. Elison, and Yerble Jones, Dentists are: Drs. M. A. Allen. E. L. Gilbert, Marion McGuire, and J. T. Carpenter of the leading attorneys in the city is Clarence Maloney. Ten Churches The religious side, however, is well taken care of. There are more than 100 pastors in the bishop Baptist pastor, Rev. E. J. Eccles Among other pastors are: Revs. J. E. Nesh Browne, B. M. E.; S. O. B. Johnson, Congregational; W. H. Horner, Lincoln Memorial; Father O. Episcopal, and Rev. Flack M. Ten Newspapers There are several ladies' clubs and organizations among which is the Mus-Lit Club. There are two colored weekdays of the state: the Progressive Herald, Zenobia Alexander, editor, and The Buffalo Journal, H. Starks, editor, and The Buffalo Journal, H. Starks, editor, and Smith and Swain, editor, and the leading undertakers; C. J. Cones has a drug store; Mrs. Margaret Alexander, a gasoline station; and Mr. Malone, a grocery and hardware store. The occupations are laboring and domestic. Rudolph Lanne, however, is head bookkeeper of the Buffalo Optical Co. one of the largest white concerns in the state. YM.C.A. work James Ross also holds a responsible position in the Health Department. YM.C.A. Buffalo chief pride is YM.C.A. and this is justified as it is one of the finest in the country. Personally, it is the best kept and best organized one I have and I have All is arranged with such taste that one feels himself at being rather in a home than in an institution. The furnishings throughout chairs, couches, carpets, tables, pianos, as well as lavatories are as fine as those of many a rich clubhouse. The same is true of the gymnasium, bovs' department, and the cafeteria. This last under the management of Mrs. Bessie Crawford is arranged in the best taste, while the meals, which are served throughout the day, are excellent. There are 54 dormitories which are very clean and comfortable. The "Y" is really the social center of the city and most of the clubs and organizations meet there. The building, a new one, cost $25,000, of which $14,500 was paid by B. Matthews, white citizens of Buffalo, and $35,000 by Julius Rosenwald. By far the greater part of the credit for this good work belongs to Mr. W. H. Jackson, the leading citizen of Buffalo. Coming there was a history building, which by uniting efforts he has expanded into the present organization. Nearly all of the planning of the building including the minutes details, were worked out. B. Jackson, coming to Buffalo he served 15 years as a traveling "TV" secretary. Mrs. Jackson, who belongs to one of the leading families in Birmingham, Ala., also takes a keen interest in her work. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson made a trip to Europe this year. Forum Very good work is done educationally also, and there is a good forum to which is brought some the leisure time.

PICKENS, DUBOIS MOTON, BELABOR GENERAL SMUTS So. African ex-Premier Gets Hot Barrage in New York. SAYS NEGRO IS ASS Conference to Follow at Howard University. NEW YORK—General Jan Christian Smuts, white, former premier of South Africa, compared the African Negro with a jackass in a meeting in town hall, Thursday afternoon of last week and has been in hot water ever since. As soon as he completed his speech he was challenged by Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskgee Institute, who sat on the same platform. The next day he was dared to debate by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, on the relations between the whites and the natives of South Africa. Assaulted by Pickens Saturday he was assaulted by a broadcast from William Pickens, field commander of the South African republic of General Smuts as a system of exploitation of black uncivilized or civiliated men in the whites of European extraction. "Mr. Smuts" says Pickens, "is the embodiment of this terribly cruel system." For good measure, Dr. Pickens said that General Smuts was about as logical and as impressive as the average politician from Mississippi. What Smuts Said General Smuts characterized the Negroes of his home country, Africa, as child peoples. "They are happy," he said, "snd did he mention of life like the white man, neither do they brood over their grievances." He warned against attempting to force white civilization upon the African natives, declaring that the white man, neither do they brood over a racial problem so tremendous that it would be well-nigh impossible to cope with it. "Next to the ass," said General Smuts, "the most patient of all animals is the Negro." Rebuked by Moton Dr. Morse uses following this address and said: "I know I ought not to say this, and I know my wife would tell me not to. I wish I did have patience, but I haven’t, and the habit has been built over, and through my eighty-two, and a half years. "But what I want to ask General Smuts, is what he meant when he healed me. What he meant when he called what he called animals. I do not think he meant it, but when he said those words about our being animals' next generation, he called the animals' it hurt. In cut like a two-edged sword through the heart of every Negro in this audience, and he said that he would like General Smuts, you are a cultured and refined gentleman, but I would like to ask you about those words. General Smuts in replying said he had all respect for the patience of the Negro race. "I think that patience is something that people might learn from the Negro we would be much happier if we did." The general said that his words were not meant as an insult but as a compliment. The ability of the Negro to sing and be content amid suffering and tragedy. Debate Declined General Smuts declined, through invitation of Dr. Dhrugs to debate. Moton Speaks Dr. Moton said Saturday: Dr. Moton regarded the suggestion of the general for the solution of the African problem as dangerous. He said that the Negro must "instead of advancing the interests of Negroes of South Africa I think it will offer the greatest opportunities for their exploitation by the whites. "If the Negro is to live with white people, he must be civilized like the white people, trained like the white people." **Writing in the New York Amsterdam News, Captain Harry Dean, author of "The Pedro Gorina, declared the white man the scutus of the sixteen questions":** 1. Is it not a fact that the occupation of South Africa by members of the European races evidence a state of war between the whites and the blacks? No, it not policy of the whites to exterminate the blacks by any means necessary? 2. Is not the overthrow of African culture not by the overthrow of South Africa, and the superimposition of white civilization on the natives a question of importance, not only in regard to immigration, but in humanity itself? 3. Has your party's policy in South Africa reduced the natives from a state of opulence to a state of poverty? 4. Are you not the leader of a movement to correct all the wrongs of the Zambesi? 5. Did you not have a American by the time you were born on your staff in the campaign of Equatorial Africa, who protested to you and resigned his commission because of the wanniness and children of the Mali tribe? 7. Is not higher education denied the native South Africa? 8. Are not natives admitted admission to your services? 9. When you were Prime Minister in 1918, was there a mysterious ailment of deaths to the number of half a million or more? 10. Is not your Department of sanitation strew acreful in the streams throughout the native territory? 11. Have you not a law which excludes natives from the roads of South Africa? 12. Do you permit free speech, free travel, free schools for natives? 13. Art natives permitted to hold public art? 14. Is it not a fact that natives are denied the right of franchise and freedom of worship? 15. Who you ever convicted a white man of race? 16. Is not intermarriage prohibited by law? Captain Dean, who says that he knows General Smuts, holds that he is the greatest oppressor the black man has ever had in South Africa. How to Make Powder Stay On I M. E. M. T. G.

"The average Negro of yesterday was content with odd jobs here and going to work going clean and day, day, cleaning loud regalia in his lodge parades, but the Negro of today is asking more than that," said Mr. Holsey. The problem facing the Negro is employment." Independent grocers are facing a crisis no matter what their race. If the Negro's annual grocery bill which includes $575,000, fifty million dollars, could be marshaled so that it was served by his own groceries, it would provide 470,000 jobs of which places we now employ. "Telling of the growth of C.M.A. stores, Mr. Holsey said, "At the present time our association memberships are as follows: Ala. Ala. Ala. Dallas, Tex. twenty-five; Jackson, Miss. fifteen; Winston-Salem, Ala. thirty-one. New York City, twenty-five, a total of one million under this plan. During 1930 we will invade Chicago Dayton, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Little, Rock, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Birmingham and Nashville.

Race Schoolboys Cop New York Track Meet Athletes of Douglass Junior High School Wrest title from Big Field NEW YORK. — Athletes of the Frederick Douglass Junior High School, piling up twice as many points as the Public School Athletic League championship in the junior high school division, at the 13th Regiment Armory Saturday. The fleet group of race athletes who passed the 55 points, pitted the team of 2,000 boys who vied with each other for athletic honors. Douglass wrested the title from Clark Junior High School, whose athletes had previously won the title six times. They scored most of their points in field events. The most impressive event of the competition was the capture of the quarter-mile relay, 130-pound class by the Douglass team composed of Ernest Smith, from Amon Bailey, Pavne and Mimi Rivard. They broke in 51-3-5 seconds, breaking the existing record by two-fifths of a second. Shoplifter Tries Suicide (Carroll News Service) BOSTON—Suffering from despondency and disgrace to relatives and friends, Miss Mary Holz, 27, Clarmont Park, attempted to identify a body confined in the detention room at the Suffolk County courthouse, on Wednesday. The attempt was made after she had been sentenced to an indeterminate sentence and enlisted in stockbooks from women customers in a department store. A.F.L. IS BLAMED FOR DECREASE IN NEGRO UNIONS Number Dropped from 169 to 23 in the Past 10 Years. NO ORGANIZERS A.F.L. Declined Urban League Offer. The American Federation of Labor is blamed for the decrease in Negro federation locals which have dropped from 159 to 23 in active standing in the past 10 years. An open letter to William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, signed by T. Arnold Hill, director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, declares that for forty years, Negro workers have heard the federation pass resolutions and declare that they are in favor of absolute equality for all workers regardless of race, color or creed, and, at the same time has failed toensure national and international' unions which refuse to admit Negro workers. Green's recent editorial in the American Federationist stating that Green's recent editorial in the American Federationist stating that the A.F. of L. stands ready to help the Negro raise his standard, led Mr. Hull to say: "We do not question the ideals toward which the federation is headed but we cannot admire the principles followed in pursuit of these ideals. "Negro workers have been branded as scabs. They were wanted in the union only after they had entered industry as strike-breakers. Dedicated opportunity to work in the union they have been conscious of opposition from white workers and have resorted to strike-breaking as much to retaliate as to find employment. And even when they have joined union they have been refused work because fellow white unionists would not work with them. "If your new promise to help, contemplates the initiative by the federation, will you organize federal locals of Negro plumbers, of machinists, of carpenters, and others now similarly excluded?" "May we ask whether or not your plans for organization in the South should be made more permitting them to pain, but actively campaigning for their membership." The letter also recites how, under State law, the federation in 1918 refused an Urban League offer to raise one half of the salary of a competent Negro who would work under the federation in trying to between colored workers and the union. Continues the letter: "There can be no peace in the hearts of the white workers if black workers take their jobs when they are on duty. There can be no peace in the hearts of black workers when they are denied, not only the privilege to organize, but also the right to labor because white workers object."

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1908) As to the matter of kissing, the St. Luke Herald said the following: "Kissing is a dangerous business, especially with children around. Do not kiss unless you are absolutely certain you are not trespassing." This is good advice and, coming from a woman; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, it has a double value, for she, being a woman, ought to be an authority, As to the matter of kissing, the St. Luke Herald says the following: *Kissing is a dangerous business, especially with children around.

Griggs of a Baptist Church at Tunica, Mississippi, announced as his subject for last Sunday's sermon: "A New Day for the Delta," and his advertisement of the address declared, "Arrangements have been made for both white people and Negroes to attend." Such an announcement usually means but one thing for those who think, although a church is supposed to be open to all, a Christian sample should be prepared to receive God's children without looking at their race, color or sex. So when "arrangements" had to be made, it meant — without saying so — that a house of worship was so divided that white Christians might occupy the front or one side of the auditorium by themselves. And for this manifestation of an inferiority complex — for Jim crowing his own people — tuff-hunting Dr. Griggs might be expected to receive the good will of the dominant group and extra ducats in the collection plate.

The Red Badge It required courage for Dr. R. R. Moton to stand in his office before the Ku Klux Klan and tell them he would not recommend white officers for the Tuskegee U. S. Veterans Hospital, when it was established several years ago. Kluwers threatened to burn the Moton home, the institute, the hospital, and to kill the Moton family. But they didn't. The courage for the successor of Booker T. Washington to write: "What a Negro Thinks." It's a long way from Mr. Washington's celebrated Atlanta speech to Dr. Moton's new gospel of race relations as set forth in this book. Mr. Washington was the voice of the South. Dr. Moton's new book speaks for the nation. It earned him the Harmon Award two weeks ago. Then, last week in New York he came from home, it wasn't a Quaker or a Westerner, but he accepted General Smuts, now here from South Africa, but it was the humble educator from Dixie.

Smuts-"Jackass" If General Jan Christian Smuts, white, ex- premier of South Africa, is acustomed to comparing Negroes at home with jackasses, he has discovered that the same thing can not be done in New York City, with impunity. The reaction to his statement that the Negro was "the most patient of all animals next to the jackass" was breath-taking. Kindly, lovable Dr. R. R.

The reaction to his statement that the Negro was "the most patient of all animals next to the jackass" was breath-taking. Kindly, lovable Dr. R. R. Moton, in a rebuke that was penetrating and barbed, mildly asked General Smuts "the refined and cultured gentleman — to do the impossible and explain what he meant by insulting his hosts. While General Smuts was talking, Captain Harry Dean, author of the book, "Pedro Gorino," was telling a New York newspaper how the general's church bars African worshippers, how his minister had been forced to river, how then followed 500,000 mysterious deaths, in consonance with the policy of certain elements in South Africa to get rid of the Negro at any price, and by any means. While General Smuts was talking, Captain Harry Dean, author of the book, "Pedro Gorino," was telling a New York newspaper how the general's church bars African worshippers, how his sanitation department put arsenic in native rivers, how then followed 500,000 mysterious deaths, in consonance with the policy of certain elements in South Africa to get rid of the Negro at any price, and by any means. When the general gave his lecture he was choking W. E. B. DuBois to debate the question of the righteousness of the white man's government in South Africa. We prophesy that the general won't accept. While his program for South African natives has been more humane than that of his successor, General Hertzog, yet the history of South Africa has been the history of war against natives, pillage, robbery, treachery, rum and rape. The partly civilized whites of three centuries ago who stole the forests of the American Indians—never were more cruel and lustful than the Dutch and English towards South African blacks whose lands they stole, and whose women they debauched. So much ooat smelt even for General Smuts to defend successfully in a neutral country. Our guess, is that the general will not only duck the debate, but also abandon the jackass simile in future lectures. Obtaining Results too Early. To the Editor: A few days ago I was down on the farm. As I walked over the fields and through the woodland, I saw horses and oxen.

That our problem for the future Must be solved without delay. So let us wait until the time shall come, And we stand before the throne, In the presence of Himself Savior- Waiting to be taken home. When the ship comes in and we depart, In that mysterious realm beyond the sea, Where we shall meet face to face In blissful unity. The day must close to bring to-morrow, For to-morrow brings the years; When we shall meet and apart, May there be no sadness and no tears. May there be no sadness and no tears.

One year ago Allison Davis, professor of history, wrote statements and assentions as to the sincerity and the fitness of our schools, particularly the heads of our land grant colleges. Like all sweeping statements there is an elephant in the room: the students and like all sweeping statements the things said were not caps to fit those included in the classification. In spite of the seriousness of this article which had wide publicity the group particularly maligned have done nothing more than to make feeble attention to sneer at Mr. Davis's youth and experience. Recently this body of land grant college presidents had a meeting in Chicago, and in the announcement of this meeting, they promised to make statements about the students. The only account that we got of that meeting and of the things done at that conference was an obscure article stating the names of the new officers and an account of those who attended.

The AFRO-AMERICAN politely argues that colored citizens should have representation in the police department to aid in protecting law-abiding citizens against crimes and horrors of criminals of any class or group of people, and it rightly does so. The International Knights of Justice, the National Press Makers Association, the I.I.I. Bible Society the St. John's Academy, the Angelite Evangelical Society, and the several thousand members of these societies stand squarely behind the AFRO-AMERICAN. To fall, on proposal of the question, to deploy the police to any people would be unChristian and demoralizing. Therefore, the better thinking colored people as well as the better thinking white people, endorse the great editorial on the first page of the January 1 issue of our recognized leader: the AFRO-AMERICAN.

American Negro Labor Congress is Composed of Many Communists, But Also Has Other Members. To the Editor: The article in your issue of January 11, in re the Washington inter-racial dance demands an explanation and I trust you will permit me space for same. The article in your issue of January 11, in re the Washington inter-racial dance demands an explanation and I trust you will permit me space for same. First, your headline stated "Huiswoud Intimidated." The fact that Huiswoud was prevented from speaking by police when they threatened to break the peace, he refrained from speaking in order not to give the police the excuse they were seeking to prevent the fraternization of Negro and white workers, and not from fear of arrest. Second, the American Negro Labor Congress is not a party to many of the leaders of the congress are Communists is because the Communists are the most active and have won the confidence and support of the rank and file on the basis of their correct approach to the problems of Negro oppression. We were not all Russians as the article indicated. The majority of them were probably native born. It is not only among Russian Communists that we find an absence of racial prejudice. Communism the world over has been instilled by the bosses into the minds of the working class in order to divide the workers and facilitate the exploitation and oppression of both white and colored workers. In conclusion, while the American Negro Labor Congress is not a Communist organization side by side with the Communist party in the determined, aggressive struggle that party is carrying on against racial and economic oppression. First, your headline stated "Huiswoud Intimidated." The fact is that Huiswoud was prevented from speaking by police and he was permitted to speak. He refrained from speaking in order not to give the police the excuse they were seeking to prevent the fraternization of Negro and white workers, and from speaking in order to give the American Negro Labor Congress is not a Communist organization. That many of the leaders of the congress are Communists is because the Communists are the most active and most influential in the struggle and file on the basis of their correct approach to the problems of Negro oppression. Also, the white Communists present were not all Russians as the article mentions. It is not only among Russian Communists that we find an absence of racial prejudice. Communism the world over is very effective in breaking down the minds of the working class in order to divide the workers and facilitate the exploitation and oppression of both white and colored workers. In conclusion, while the American Negro Labor Congress is certainly not afraid to stand side by side with the Communist party in the determined, aggressive struggle that party is carrying on against racism and economic oppression (Signed).

BENNETT Tell me a tale good fellow, O be a thing of the mellow, With voice so clear and mellow, Sing to me all the day long. Let the song be of idol Which rules men in this fair land; Tale of the mellow and the mellow, With power to break Love's band. Money—the god of Irish. Money—whose presence banish Iills of the many and few. "Tell me how to possess it. How to hold or spend a will; Fair to the man, it." Is plant for the dollar bill. The dollar men crave, love, fear, worry, and attain; The dollar whose slaves all bear- Marks of their striving to gain. Blood—men shed to possess it, Crimes they could name; Alarm to the plaudit. Fools give, in hiding their shame. Money—the idol of good; I hate greed like the Devil But I need home, clothes and food. These the idol can give me Together with power, fame, Honor, comfort, luxury, Bought in the money god's name." Tis thus tale is told again, The same story as of vore; The tale of the dollar's reign In land of crime, vice and gore, Saved by the blood of the male In pocket or palm of the hand; Happy the heart's blood tingle Who holds idol of the land.

By WILLIAM N. JONES - Is the A.F.L. Acting to Meet the Crisis? An editorial announcement in the January number of the American Federationist, written by President William Green, assuring stamina support to the National Negro Labor Congress to meet in Chicago this month, significant to the effect that the American Federation of Labor is beginning an earnest effort to organize labor throughout the South. Speaking several weeks ago before the Iowa City Club Ira DeAid, director of research of the National Urban League, declared that there had been a big slump in Negro affiliation with the labor organizations during the last few years, with the exception of helping in the fight the Pullman porters made during the last two years, the American Federation of Labor has taken no definite steps to increase its Negro membership, the statement of the Green should attract unusual attention. The Chicago conference is being called by the leaders in the Sleeping Car Porter's Union. Although putting up a grim struggle because of the unavoidable vandalism, the powerful Pullman company and its allies have been able to all but crush the life out of it and will do the same thing in the future unless President Green means business. In business he will throw the strength of the entire railway unit of organized labor into the fight and make it possible for the porters to fight and instead of having to wage their battle from ambush. If, for instance, the powerful Brotherhood of Railway Engineers and Firemen and other organizations will fight and behind the porters AS THEY DID SOMETIME AGO FOR THEMSELVES WHEN THEY WRUNG OUT OF THE COMPANIES EVERY DEMAND THEY WANT. THE PORTERS DID WIN. But if President Green cannot or does not make a serious matter of doing what he wants, a vivid example of what the Federation is to do for Negro labor, it could but be expected that they will work on an industrial place, in the sun. The International Labor Defense is making a strong bid for Negro affiliation. They are talking, and an organization will work. Furthermore they are growing. There is also a strong undercurrent sentiment that all Negro members are open fight on the American Federation of Labor, and unless the organization compels its locals to open their doors, every one of them, to Negro members to do or break them down by competition. Maybe, however, President Green is in earnest and is skilled and unskilled is given a fair deal by the national organization and its locals. Developing the Art of Love Making. "The efficient and perfect lover" "If you listen to George S. Schuyler, satirist and columnist, who lectured under the auspices of the late George S. Schuyler, the last week—will cure most of the ills to which the human flesh is heir. Mr. Schuyler's wit and the penetrating study he has made of the science and the effect of the serious thought from the audience of teachers, social workers and others gathered to hear him. Although the relations of male and female and the effect of the situation on many human happiness on one hand and more woe and sorrow on the other, than any other factor affecting human fate, it has been the one theme we are not prone to consider as the most common factors in human relations. Some years ago it was suggested that some of the schools and universities should establish chairs in which the essentials of love and learning be given academic and serious consideration. It was pointed out that if we could teach a procedure whereby the tender chord of love created in the romantic days of youth, could be made to be a part of our curriculum, had fulfilled their mission here on earth, we would solve all the vital problems of humanity. But Mr. Schuyler raised more vital questions than this, among others. How shall we regard the growing frankness of youth in meeting some of the problems of "sex"? How shall we look at companionate marriages and the growing practice of pre-nuptial sex experience? Shall we revise our marriage customs and shall we have a professional motherhood, allowing young women to openly take other forms of sexual experience? They may still maintain respectability and sex experience? In fact, it may be too late now to ask these questions, for the transition is actually taking place, and we must look at our heads in the sands or say "there ain't no such animal." As long as we have a world in which there is so much maladjustment and misery—where marriages fail, where neck and neck and where time worn morals are breaking down under frank treatment and pressure from a younger generation, we might just as well seriously contemplate the urge and past ideas should not be scrapped for something better. Natural forces will probably always take care of those couples that make the urge and instinct to procreate the growing numbers who make marriage a permit for companionate and legal sex experience; and the growing numbers of young men who want to procreate the nomic and other kinds of pressure, must spend a large part of their most active years in single blessedness, the sex problem is one which produces problems for not only the young men but also the noses of straight-laced Furtans.

Chips from the Quarry The Proofreader Talks: If asked what are the most troublesome matters with which they are called on to deal, most proofreaders would probably say, apostrophes and their congenues, quotation marks. Many writers, whose spelling and grammar are good, if not excellent, will show astonishing ignorance or slipshodness in the use of these As to apostrophes, the sins of commission and omission are about equal, despite the fewness andplicity of the their use, the omissions, the sins are mostly of omission. Apostrophes have but three uses: (1) to indicate the fewness andplicity of the their use, (2) to denote the possessive case of nouns, and (3) to assist in the formation of the plural in certain special cases. The first case seizes gives trouble; in fact though writers should—as in fact they generally do—fail to insert the apostrophe in such contractions as "don't" and "can't", and "didn't", most writers note the, the most instantly and supply it not always in the correct place. The other two cases of the use of the apostrophe give most of the these will be dealt with in later talks. The Week's Crop. Enthusiasm is the main-spring of productiveness.

Carey to Consolidate His Position in the Church and Politics Proves that the A.M.E. Denomination is to Blame for the Present Carey Scandal. By KELLY MILLER Dr. R. R. Wright, JF., editor of the Christian Recorder, the official copy of the A.M.E. Church, has taken up the cudgels in behalf of Bishop Carver, now under indictment for malfeasance in office. My good friend takes me to task on two counts to which I plead not guilty. He accuses me of striking a man when he is down. Readers will recall that when the proffer of the man to the bishop, I sent out a letter denning the unholly alliance of the church and crooked politics. I pointed out the possibility of involving the great M. Charles Church, political activist and the president of the good bishop would decline the offer. This was at-the-time when he was at the pinnacle of his political and ecclesiastical fortune. When the courts of Chicago found a true bill demanding the bishop under a twenty-five thousand bond, the matter was of such startling public interest that it elicited comment from every publication in the country. Striking the Iron While It Is Hot Dr. Wright knows fully well from his long editorial experience, that the journalistic iron must be struck when it is hot. I hope that I am incapable of the imputed meanness of striking a mar when he is down. I take no delight in the death or downfall of the wicked. Bishop Carey has always treated me with kindness and courtly. But public questions and prayers for my religious political or religious dignitaries. Neither Bishop Carey nor his apologists have my right to complain at it; full, fair, and frank discussion is required, which he has involved himself and his church, and indeed the whole race. In the second place, I have not condemned Bishop Carey in advance of trial. I distinctly said that no one should be punished, as indicated, unt the court had declared its decision. The moral implications involved in the Carey case however, far transcend the boundaries of narrow legal technicalities, righteousness, a godly bishop must be the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees. It was no crime, in the eyes of the law, for A. J Carey to cultivate close intimacies with what is reputed to be the most corrupt political regime in the state of Illinois, where there is law on the statute books which forbids the same A. J. Carey, bishop though he be, from upholding the hands of a mayor who declares that he will keep the city of Chicago wringing wet. Politicians with Money Can Defeat Justice Any citizen can array himself on the side of lawlessness and corruption, outside of the pale and penalty of the law. Since when, Dr. Wright, has the A.M.E. Church committed to the Chicago courts the keeping of its compliance. Indian mankind has always transcended the judicial technicalities of the courts. Socrates was legally executed. Jesus Christ was legally crucified. John Brown was hanged with judicial justification. Gandhi justified the courts against him, sentencing him to the penitentiary. According to the ethics upheld by the Christian Recorder, Attorney General Daughterry should go uncondemned and rebuked by public opinion, and use his power to help him guild as indicted. Any shrew politician with money, friends and influence may defeat the ends of justice. Must the church therefore withhold its moral condemnation? Whether Bishop Carey is acquitted or condemned by the machinery of the law, the minister may be affected. Beliefful purity and dirty politics will not mix. Dr. Wright impidely condemns Bishop Cannon, of the M.E. Church, South, for speculation in Wall Street stock. The judgment of the Christian world is with him. And yet gambling in the stock market is not a defense. Why then does the editor of the Christian Recorder apply one standard of ethics to Cannon and another to Carey? No Scandal Against Ferdinand Morton Dr. Wright goes far afield in quest of material to palliate the predicament of his client. He would have us believe that jealous politician contrived his undue because they wanted his job. Chicago is quite customised to having colored men in high office. This is the first time one has heard of undermining a faithful and efficient official on account of his race. I fear that the editor would hope to upon our prejudice as well as our curiosity Carey is a member of the civil service board which has to do with 40,000 positions held mainly by white men. Why did he not tell us that Fernand n. Q. Morton, of New York City, holds precisely the same position with 17,100 employees, mostly white. No one has ever heard of any crooked scheme to unhorse him on account of his race or color. All of Mr. Wright's arguments are plausible and apologetic but fall utterly to carry conviction to any fair, impartial and candid mind. Bishop Gaines Shifted to Help Bishop Carey Mr. Wright avers that the A.M.E. Church is bound to stand by Bishop Carey, that it will demand technical proof, and suspend judgment until such proof is forthcoming. The more is the pity. As I said in my second release on this fortunate occasion, the A.M.E. Church gave its tacit endorsement when the General Conference accepted him as host, partook of high bountieous hospitality, shiffed Bishop A. L. Gaines to another jurisdiction to make place for Bishop Carey, so that he could consolidate his presidency. The case stood then precisely as it stands now, with the mere exception that no technical indictment and been lodged. They who sow seed of corruption may expect to reap the fruits thereto. Our陌挚 apologize for the evil. Dr. Wright is my friend, I hope he will be made bishop at the present General Conference. But in this instance, I do not believe that he expresses the moral dimension of his denominational role in the midst of such a crisis, if R. R. Wright prefers to hold his peace, Ira Bryant will cry out.

Tears coursed down the cheeks of some of the cadets who had been discharged, but Parham, accustomed to the hardships of his life, said with a smile on his face. General Smith, superintendent, shook hands with each departing cadet, saying: "I hope this discharge will leave you with no bad effects to start a fresh line of endeavor.

ARNOLD Christmas Day will be exactly thirty-five days off when the big press of the AFRO-AMERICAN begins to turn over Wednesday, November 20, which will carry the current events of national and international import to more than a hundred thousand colored and white readers in Baltimore and Philadelphia. Seeboard. large amount of this money will be spent for necessities and luxuries. The proper and systematic way to reach those Negroes is to buy space in news- paper the AFRO-AMERICAN, which Negroes read in order to keep posted agent the things that are of fundamental importance to them, is the proper channel in which to drive for some of the enormous sum of money that Negroes are going to spend. Radio corporations and merchants who have made a success in business, are convinced that the AFRO-AMERICAN has psychology upon the minds of the public. They are confident that the advertiser will reach colored buyers during the Yuletide period. Mr. Merchant, if you fail to receive your quota of business, it will be because of your failure to use the AFRO-AMERICAN. The writer is willing to help you in other forms of advertising by reaching out to you. You can be reached. Devoid of prejudice, may I state that there is no form of advertising which can bring results sufficient to pay an advertiser, to take a chance on letting business pass his door and elsewhere. However, the Campbell Soup Company and other large manufacturers must take a greater demand for their products they must buy space in newspapers.

"Yeah," said the young pharmacist, "We don't carry that either." Blanch Bradford Dorsey I was down to the Thomas J.

The scholarship fund was founded by Mr. and Mrs. Dorsely in honor of her husband, who, prior to her illness, and subsequent death (January 8, 1929) was connected with Mrs. Dorsely and French Departments.

"I found in the section visited," said Mr. Reevin, "that the show houses are suffering from lack of patronage there as in other parts of the country, and that it is not due to lack of talent but because it just a condition where necessity comes ahead of luxury and amusements, regardless of whether they are good, bad or indifferent."

OUT AT HOWARD Carries Own Stool with Him Theatre Brings Back Film Operators to Prevent Walk out of "Chocolates" Band. COUP WAS PLANNED Non-Union Men Back as Band Leaves. WASHINGTON.—Four union motion picture operators, recruited from downtown theatres to work at the Howard Theatre during the engagement of Louis Armstrong and his "Hot Chocolates" orchestra last week, were discharged and the union officers they replaced, re-employable sreek. For a number of years the Howard, managed by the Lightman interests, has been known as a nonunion house, and because of a nonunion musician, not been allowed to play there. Before coming to the Howard, Armstrong had received the consent of the American Federation of Musicians to play the house, the consent being given with the understanding that nonunion musicians would be employed during the run. When no union operators were employed Monday, representatives of the local motion picture operators were sent to the band to decide to wait until the band had opened its engagement. They conferred with local representatives of the musicians' union and received the consent of that body to oust Armstrong and his band unless union operators were Get Four Men Armstrong said Tuesday afternoon that he thought the labor differences had been settled. Following a talk between A. G. Hayden of the Federation of Musicians and A. E. Lichtman of the Lichtman Theatres, four union operators were secured from downtown theatres, and the matter was closed. A close of Armstrong's engagement Sunday night, however, the non-union crew of operators went back to work.

Walter Carroll, the general manager, assures that the tastes of all classes and adventure all have their part in making the Dunbar programs attractive. As a sample of the programs, one finds such pictures as "Careers," a tender love romance, and "Broadway" a tale of modern production on next week's bill. That's the reason it is hard to find empty seats at any time in the Dunbar. Leo Edwards, one time Baltimore comedian, who has been enjoying a success of Pine Croft Inn down in North Carolina, radios that he will sail for Paris this Friday (January 17) as the only race member in a revue which has been booked for a foreign engagement. Leo ses: "I am doing principal comedy," and if you know Leo there's no need to say more. The Lafayette and Carey Theatres, under the direction of James C. Cremens, with Oscar Custis and James Duvall, managers of the respective houses, have become well-known as family theatres. Programs brimming over with entertainment features, make these two houses important factors in the communities in which they are situated. Since taking over the role of Cremens has made a number of improvements, remodeling and brightening up the lobby, installing the latest motion picture equipment and making adequate rest room accommodations for lady patrons. "Good pictures always, and only the best of stage attractions"—these are the watchwords of the Royal Theatre where Morris and Bennie Flacks hold sway. "People wonder sometimes," the managers explained, "why we don't have a stage show every week. We know that under present conditions we wouldn't give a high class attraction each week, so we only play them when. And that's the reason the SRO sign is worked overtime at the Royal, where entertainment is the motto. Diminutive Kay (Katherine Mason, who signs the theme song "Sepia Baby of Mine" in the "Sepia Vagabond" company at the Royal Theatre this week, is one of a family of talented performers. A sister, Marlon, is also a member of the show, another sister, Mary Amie is talented, while Wanda whose name is familiar as a concert artist is studying at Fisk University. "Always the best"—that's the motto that guides Isaac and Simon Hornstein in the management of the Regent Theatre, the "Home of the Vitaphone." Pioneering always in the business of entertaining the public, the Regent management has spared no pain to make itself one of the outstanding picture houses in the East. With a strictly picture policy, the house has maintained a high standard, so that when fans discuss pictures, they say, "If it's at the Regent, it's good." So successful was the engagement of Addison Carey's and Charlie Davenport's roles company, that efforts are being made to have them play a role at the Royal Theatre, where the Howardette chorus is still being praised. Br CRITIC The common belief that in order to be a musical artist one must be a genius, was shattered by Justin Sandridge, who recorded in here Tuesday night in an exclusive interview with an AFRO-AMERICAN reporter. Mr. Sandridge, who only 28 slender five and a half tall, taught grays-green eyes to give a musical accompaniment to his words, is one of the youngest artists to achieve success. Mr. Sandridge, Mod-Moder, the nth degree, he was slightly reticent in talking about himself. Not Genius — Practice "The old idea that one had to be a genius in order to accomplish anything in my life," he explained. Any person, who has a desire to study music and who is willing to put in the required amount of practice, can become a good musician. It means a good profession, medicine for instance. Started at Seven The young artist, whose fame has already spread to Europe, was on his first visit to Baltimore, and he was impressed. Starting piano lessons at the age of seven and one-half years, young Sandrine developed an unusual love for that instrument, and has taken lessons continu- ever since. His mother, Mrs. Harriet Sandridge, while not a concert artist, is an accomplished pianist and his father, Z. Thomas Sandridge, had a distinct talent for painting, and though his training along line was very fine, he exercised a keen ability of oil paintings which have been highly praised. All Private Teachers "So, you see. I did have a somewhat artistic anestey as a background," the musician interposed. "But unlike most people believe, have never attended a concert." My two teachers have been private ones, numbering four in all. My first was Mrs. Bertha Baumann Randolph, and my second was Ravard Haven and my third was Jorge Farnsworth. I also instructed for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He did not teach me piano, of course, but instructed me in some of the finer parts of music, contributing much to my present background. My teacher, who still advises me is Mrs. Frances Grover, a woman now 48 years old, who has had exceptionally fine music training. These teachers have been able to give me much more than I could, "annel at a conservatory, which affords it is a rather cold, factory-like place." Made Debut in 1926 Makin's his debut in 1926 as guest soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Philharmonic. Since the age of 12 he has taught music classes, and last March opened a studio in New York where he teaches when not giving recitals. He launched a book, a special catalog of his hands or limited himself to any particular diet. "No, no, no." he protested "none of that sort of thing. I can write that sort of thing, such as skating, swimming and tennis, but of course I couldn't play baseball or football for fear of injury to my hands. I do have one feet that I have that I can play, the pianist said, and with that he pointed to a cardboard carton on the floor. "That," he explained, upon noticing an assistant, "contains my own special piano stool. I had it adjusted particularly to suit myself and it goes with me wherever I go." Maw Marr, Snow.

In recent last January, this group of young people under the directorship of Ralf M. Coleman, produced their first successful play last April, entitled "Are You a Masstie?" and May. In June the players gave a one-act play in collaboration with the Ford Hall Players, a liberal organization of the city. "The collaborative" work was started on the "13th Chair" which was sponsored by the Women's Service Club. During recent rehearsal the players have been very fortunate to the expert actors and critics of Alcone, which was a member of the original cast.

GLEE CLUB PLEASES Howard Singers Best in Burleigh Group. Local music lovers who braved the threatening weather Tuesday night to hear Justin Sandridge, young Boston pianist in recital at Sharp Street M.E. Church, assisted by the Howard University Glee Club, were repaid with a musical treat, far above the ordinary. Mr. Sandridge, a newcomer to Baltimore, is one of the young pianists, who seems to enjoy the interior play that has added to a bountiful endowment of musical gifts, adequate and masterful training. Difficult Program The program within itself was a prodigious undertaking. But after nearing the pianist interpret his first group, I was convinced that an artist, Mr. Sandrique, though showing ample regard and respect for the valuable traditions of his art, is entirely modern in his method. Simplicity or manner, and sincerity of purpose, are too outstanding characteristics noable. Beginning with well known and much adored "Third Ballade" by Cnipon, which as read by the pianist was a trifle obscure, it became the most interesting interpretation to the "Rain Drop," preface by the same master. Mr. Sandridge seemed to have an inexhaustible palette of tonal color, and he used a medley of organ point which persists throughout the number, appearing first as a tonic organ point and continuing as a medley of section medley organ point. Liszt Number Colorful A group of List numbers ending with the highly imaginative "Funerales," concluded the first group. This latter number highly colorful and abounding in the use of the technical equipment of any pianist was played with splendid verve. The long bass osoi estimate in the middle section was given with style and artistry as an University Glee Club as assisting artists, sang two groups of numbers, under the direction of Roy W. Tibbs. This club is a well balanced unit of young unspoiled voices in songs with authority and intelligence. Club Below Par Tuesday night, however, the tenon section seemed a trifle more difficult than what would otherwise have been an excellent ensemble. In spite of this apparent imperfection the large assembled audience demanded more of the choir work. The Numbers by Burleigh, "Just You," and "Mother o' Mine," were applauded generously, but feel at the time when the work of the pianist was interrupted for choral numbers, that it will be a happy day, when we shall desire our piano recitals "straight."

RACE R "Get 'em-cau Manufactured by THE BRUN Always Concords and Discords Students Attend "Flying Dutchman." Gospel Choirs Now Active. Change Symphony Hour Suggested. Lachner String Quartet Progressing. By W. LLEWELYN WILSON Richard Wagner's romantic opera, "The Flying Dutchman," was one of the three works presented by the German Opera Company, which appeared in Baltimore at the Lyric during the past week. The excess group of German singers gave us an opportunity to further appreciate, by comparison, the stupendous task achieved by the students at Douglass High School who essayed the same score last Many of the members of the student cast attended the recent performance of the German company, *The Woman in the Woman*, fully they (the students) had portrayed the tragic story of the blasphemous Dutch seaman, who in a moment of great weakness, as a puncher lost his life, but was redeemed by the faithful love of the Norwegian maiden, Senta, the daughter of one Daland. Unfortunately, the visiting open-circuiting portion of the conclusion of the famous "Spinning Chorus," with which the second act begins. The German artists also cut the beautiful music. Though these cuts were greatly missed by those familiar with the complete score, they did not mutilate materially against the general excellence of the work as done by the vis- Gospel Choirs. We are again in the midst of our local annual revival season. These revivals bring to the fore a type of musical program which has its specific use in the development of our community. In many of the progressive churches, specially organized groups called gospel or revival choirs do the singing. The personnel of such groups make an interesting study. To begin, we present the stridient voices of the adults mingle with the fresh, though sometimes unchanged, reed voices of children. The tonal mass however is oftentimes surprisingly good from a distance, and yokes are suffused with the sincere spirit with which the choristers engage in the work. Many of the singers, in such groups, remain silent during most of the Christian year, but periodically appear as members of gospel choirs in the several churches. The gospel choir is unique in its contribution to the music of the community, but like other musical activities it has its place in the community and is helped in that it offers an element of appeal for the emotional element in music. Many of our professional singers are striving for vocal excellence, which of course includes proper vocal technique, proper vocal organs, correct breathing, natural posture, distinct emunciation, and other kindred prerequisites. But there can be no truly great singing which is lacking in the emotional understory. Too many of our latter day singers under estimate the spiritual elements in singing. Of course this attitude towards ourselves is larger than any other attitude that the unconscious control of ones' emotion (which comes as a result of long years of conscious control) necessary the ultimate ability to high-level understand means that, to give any outward evidence of any inward emotional reaction is inarticulate. This erroneous idea causes many of our students to listen to some of our vocal interrelations, which are lacking in vitality. They go from one extreme to the other. Many of our vocal students could listen to some of our vocal interrelations, which are lacking both spiritual and technical power of interpretation. Suggest Symphony Change. Many musicians vitally interested in the development of the newly organized symphony orchestra here in Baltimore are unable to attend the weekly rehearsals, because they fall at an hour on Sunday afternoon and do not attend the services are engaged in the services at many of the churches. Loyal church musicians are unwilling to forsake the afternoon church services — and rightfully so, too. Many have expressed the view that a change in the hour of meeting would 'The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 18, 1930 From the Front Row By LULA JONES GARRETT Recently a singing group, entitled Spirit" or something that effect, was a best-seller in the theatre. Against a well-dressed group of motion cotton-field-garb suspenders, over wig, etc.—sang the lead. The spirituals were sung beautiful scene, was beautiful. But what has the singer doing to the leader, the writer the setting, and it was with the training this man's voice if nothing else, develop some taste in Theatre-goers here like the race even the worst of them are awake with the rest of the setting that was the same reason any actor and actress. We go to the theaters for entertainers should pay perfectly good money to be cottonfields and their associate injury Ann" with their days of slavery, and Twilight. The Twilight Singers, a quartet make up one of the most pleasing group within the last few months. While in their repertoire and though their a sincerity in their job of putting on a audience with them reprise the same song, their quartet is composed of Roland R. Barb Melvin E. Wright, who leads and aning engagements in several Baptist ch Recently a singing short, entitled "Colored Folk Get the Christian Spirit" or something to that effect, which gave a group singing spirituals, was shown at a local theatre. Against a well-dressed group of men and women, a man, in the regulation cotton field-garb—suspenders, overalls, kerchelled neck, woolly white wig, was singing beautifully. The spirituals were sung beautifully. The background and out-door scene, was beautiful. But what has me puzzled is—what was the need of the slavery-day make-up of the leader? Such a garb was out of harmony with the rest of the setting, and was too humid to insulate that any person with the training this voice showed, wouldn't just through contact touch some nausea in dress. Theatre-goers here like the race shorts. That is evinced by the way even the worst of them are recounted in the book. The shorts were excellent. But we like our artists for the same reason any actor and actress is liked—beauty and talent. We go to the theaters for entertainment, and just why anyone thinks we should perform is not the same. We should support them and their associate injustices, and "Marse John" and "Miss Ann" with their days of slavery, and think it is a pleasure, is beyond me. Twilight Singers. The Twilight Singers, a quartet from the Virginia Theological Seminary, make up one of the most pleasing groups of spiritual dispensers to visit our city within the last few months. Many have a little immature, they have a sincerity in their job of putting over their songs that would hold their audience with them regardless of the songs they sing. Then too, they put the harmony into their singing that makes a spiritual a spiritual. The quartet is composed of Samuel Bass, Roy E. Peders, barton lead, and Clyde Turner, tenor. They are filling engagements in several Baptist churches of the city this week. be productive of much good in the matter of attendance. Mr. Harris is struggling heroically to make the experiment go, but he must have the men present regularly and at consecutive rehearsals to obtain the best results. Radio Announcer String Quartet. The Lachner String Quarter, Thomas Henderson, first violinist; Columbus Anderson, second violinist; Morrison LeRoy Davage, violist, and a struggling cellist, is making some substantial progress as a result of regular rehearsals which are held weekly. This group, I am told, will appear in concert during this coming spring. There are few Negro string quartets in America, hence this organization should fill a need in the community, as it will afford opportunity for our music lovers to hear good chamber music more or less well played.

Sunday midnight dance came to a close which was to the regret of the patrons but to the pleasure of the orchestra. Those hard-working fellows dispensed the jazz throbs and wails to nobody's business. I am speaking of Louis Armstrong and his eleven Okeh record artists and the members of Ike Dixon's Radio Dance makers, who performed for the hundreds who crowded the New Albert Auditorium, Sunday; evening. The place was really crowded; the temperature was high, the music hot and the musicians were perspiring, so you know that all present were enjoying the music they were right along with him in every department. Not to be outdone in the evening's entertainment, the Bear Cats, Ike Dixon's own combination of musicians, just grazed their feet on the local dancers. They played this, that and those other selections like they never played before, and if the affair was to be a battle, my decision would be like many others in favor. Previously, I was not preduced. Anyway, we need not compare them, for everything was hoky tosy. The Old Master himself, who is known as Kee, was a pioneer to Ike Dixon, promoter extraordinary, was responsible for the securing of the recorders. Cecil Scott Right back of that Ike brought Cecil Scott and his Savoy Ballroom gang here Wednesday night to show the Baltimore how they do that. The team demonstrated how you can get a high C out of every and almost anything. They played like they wanted; the gang rumped all over that stage, and when time-out was called, the drummer delivered wreck by their hot synaphores. Ike, when questioned by the writer as to the financial risk of bringing the two orchestras on one week declared: "You will most likely see in one week the near future; I expect to give the local dancers the best orchestras obtainable regardless of all costs." So we will just sit back and watch out his program which will be better, than back.

Above the metallic row of the subway a brassy voice echoed "One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street," and, like a succession of enormous exclamation points firing for emphasis after the words, series of posts fluttered across Jess's vision. Gradually the perpendicular bars lessened the speed until each exclamation funereals 125 in black glazed the glaring white. Behind the hurtling darkness fell away. The pain shot out into a pool of light and came to rest with a jerk that precipitated her through a newspaper and against a hostile breast. Doors opening open with mechanical pressure, and with a sigh of relief packed white and black broke their enforced common imprisonment, the Negroes pouring out on the platform the whites appropriating, and regarding their creating backs and resentment and relief. On the platform the dark mass hesitated for a moment, then, like a breaker that found the shore, it lifted, caught up on its crest, hurled her behind it up the stairway, and deposited it, but triumphant, on the floor. Saturday afternoon—the hourly desk her—his grudging praise singing in her ears. The day was warm, but the sun laided the torrid pressure that enlarged Lisa during the Southern sunrise on the head the sky was no longer the throbbing cobalt of a Castleton noon, but a thin ultraviolet that seemed to lessen the power of gravitation air lift the house. But the east in the direction of our home. In her new liberating environment an inherent elegance in her manner that had impressed her Charleston neighbors as amusing lent her distinction and gave her that air of self-assurance which in Harlem differentiate ampollo from the newly provincial. She was clad briefly dark blue, tailored silk. The colour is a concession to Mamba, the tendency to Harlem. A scarf of flaming wool was knotted loosely about her that, and a small jaunty hat of the brown beaver closed over. Below. Beaver coat, a rather assuming length of champagne silk was evident, and, symbolically her complete emancipation, these eliminated in a pair of red high-heel pumps. She carried a modish case, and a small umbrella in the ascending colour was pendent on one elbow. She let herself into the dim coolness of the hall. In the drawing room a song stopped in the middle of a bar, and Ada Grayso. parsed the portieres and kissed the gl.1 affectionately. With her glasses, her slow, kind smile, she was ridiculously, like her husband in appearance. Lissa had liked her from the moment when the three of them had sat together after Saint, had he, her, or his drawing room, and Ada had watched her husband's face with divining intensity; then, realizing that under his wrist he had really wanted the girl to stay and was not merely submitting to a command of conscience, had taken her into her affectors without reservation. "Now. I shan't detain you, my dear." Ada tol, her smilingly, "You'll find a letter from home on your dresser, and I know you're anxious for news." Her new buoyancy lifted Lissa up the stairs with the effortless spring that had brought her down the street and up the front steps. It shot her breezy into 2e room and across to the dresser, where the letter lay with her name staring boldly up into her face. Then her mood went slack. The air of the room seemed suddenly chill, and up gingerly between a slender thumb and index finger. Whose was the bold, disjointed 'handwriting' It started her like the shouting of her name by an unfamiliar voice. Slowly, reluctantly, a slender flexible, index finger slid beneath the flap. She paused and examined her hand with an impersonal admiration, deliberately putting off the opening of the letter. The color neither melted nor interested her. Now, in contrast with the dead white of the paper against which it lay, it seemed rather lovely to her with its warm bronze tint, its pointed and polished nails that glittered like little blades in the light. Finally she rolled her finger beneath the flap and pried it gently open. She turned the envelope over and shook out a number of newspaper cuttings and a brief note. Her gazes discussed the signature, in C. Wentworth. It 'as a moment before she identified the august name with Mamba's Mr. Saint. Then she read: These clippings will pala you, but you ought to know what they say. In no other way can you realise the sacrifice that Hagar has made for you. To the few of us who have been so fortunate to herself as heroic, a mother of whom you should be proud as long as you live. The bod- has not been recovered and was probably carried far out to sea.

She felt the warmth that had infused her being from her mother's last kiss slowly ebbing, while a strange numbness took its place. She had a premonition that if she read the clipings she would find herself to blame—would have $\alpha$ accept the responsibility—be answerable for the event. Why not simply accept the facts—death—loss—and destroy the papers that lay defenseless before her, yet which menaced her peace of mind. How did she take the sake of her art—Mamba had wanted that—Hagar herself. How could she be expected to sing and be gay with her mind full of trouble? She undecided, she lifted the printed strips. One of them dropped face up no the dresser. NEGRESS MURDERS LOVER THEN TAKES OWN LIFE. But that wasn't so. Her mother had never loved Prince. Now she was impelled to proceed. She commenced to read, her eyes taking in the words and transmitting them to her brain, and then to utter panic, flinging the words of a sily song at her, trying to distract her, to get her away to the old protected plane of consciousness. "If you like me like 'like you an' we like both the same . . . Unusual case. A search of old files reveals no other case of suicide in a local Negro—had saved Bluton's life ten years before.

In a sudden violent synthesis the story before her rushed to completion—assum form—unity—silencing the indecent irrelevance of the song, confronting her with its tremendous implication; if it hadn't been for her, Hagar would be alive to-day. After a while, with a conscious purpose, she renelected her from the confession; then with deliberate thoroughness, read the clippings out by one and piled them with mechanical exactness before her. The papers had given an unusual amount of space to the commonplace of a Negro murder. In spite of its colour, it held the elements of excellent copy—human interest—passion—jalooysy—and the culminating touch of the confession, supra, in stark simplicity. Lissa folded the last strip, placed it upon the others, and stood gazing out, over them at nothing that the She took the brown-stone steps of her new home two at a time. In a vivid flash she saw Mamba's face warring as mask of ferocious disapproval. Do you still that being a lady? What the hell! Now she. Neither a lady of the Broaden set not a waterfront "nigger." Lissa Atkinson with at last a will of her own—bothing behind her, and everything (Continued on Page Twelve) 11 The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 18, 1930 PROSPERITY ENERGY CONFIDENCE THERE CAN BE NO PROSPERITY WITHOUT CONFIDENCE . . . . . accepted, it further believes that the Negro workman who is indefatigable, who is honest, who is loyal to his employer and to his country will not only enjoy a great part of this prosperity but will contribute largely toward making this prosperity possible. No matter how strong an electric current may be, if there is not a close connection at the switch, it can do no good, but remains inert. But press the switch, hold it firm, connect the energy of the current through a reliable lever with the outgoing wire and electricity becomes your faithful servant. The Negro workingman is not easily "stampeded." He is a patient, plodding, methodical producer of energy, who is not always ready to complain because of adverse circumstances, but who gathers up the threads of his adversity and forces them to his bidding, fits his necessities to his income and "carries on," confident in his own ability to overcome every obstacle no matter how "seemingly insurmountable" they may appear. The analogy holds good in the business world. There is prosperity abroad in the land. In spite of the recent difficulties that beset the country toward the close of 1929 these have been overcome by the confidence maintained by the big business interests of the country in their ability to tide themselves over this period by providing more work for the workingman, who in turn expresses his confidence in the situation by a closer application to his work and his determination to produce a better brand of work. What is needed to continue this state of business enterprise is more confidence. Confidence in the producer that there is a market for his products, and in the buyer that by a too great curtailment of his buying brings a reaction that ultimately reaches his pay envelope. But the right sort of confidence sets going tremendous currents of enterprise and effort, sending them throughout the land in a boundless stream of prosperity. In times like this there can be no "hoarding," but a strict adherence to the accepted principles of thrift. There is not need for the old cry of "wolf, wolf" but a surer belief in the fact that if every man maintains his equilibrium, his confidence in conditions as they actually are and not as the pessimist would have us believe they are, that there will be enough of prosperity in 1930 for everyone who is willing to work for it, to have an equal share. Let the producer continue to increase the demand for his product by increased advertising appropriations, and this increased demand will naturally react to the benefit of the buyer thru larger opportunities for employment. The Afro-American is confident that there can be no backward movement in general business conditions throughout the country. This fact Let Everybody Pull Together For A Bigger And More Prosperous 1930 The Afro-American Advertising Department B. R. W. TALJAFERRO Quite frequently I am asked if an advanced Bridge student always has the strength, made necessary, through m-columns, as the minimum requirements, for his initial suit bid of my. One answer is that he has this requirement but it isn't as recognizable as that of the beginner or mediocre player. Where the young player of the game needs Kings, Aces and Queens to enable him to recognize the same player, more learned players can see it in Queens, Jacks and Tens. Where a young student needs a five card holding headed by Ace-King to make for the same player, take the same holding headed by Queen-Jack and no side support and make just as much in tricks. This is because the advanced student can take advantage of situations where even even see. Therefore I think it is vital that the younger Bridge player have the required minimum stated in these columns. In speaking of this strength player, the bidder only, first or second hand, original bid. For later bids more strength than this is very necessary. When you make an Initial suit bid c one, you are informing your partner of two facts concerning your hand. Your hand contain: five trumps, headed by one or two honors, and two high cards with which you can be expected to turn tricks quickly. 2. In any event your hand contains sufficient strength to turn two quick tricks. You must rule to follow in the initial suit bid one, is prescribed by Milton C. Work. He says: "Bid initially any five card suit headed by Ace-King, Ace-Queen-Ten, or Ace-Queen-Ten, matter how weak the rest of the hand may be, but without side strength, do NOT bid Initially a suit headed by Ace-Queen-Ten (double tenace) or any weaker combination." Do not confuse these suit bids with No Trump bids. The bidding of No Trump initially will be taken up later. Extra Length I told you that extra length in a suit made your Initial bid of one sounder. But don't, under and conditions, think that unusual length in the suit makes it necessary to heighten your suit when you lack strength. A holding of A-K-X-x-x will almost assure you of four tricks in that suit, but a holding of 10-9-7-6-5-3-2, although of unusual length will be more effective. Without high card strength in a six or seven card suit an initial bid of one is rarely advised, unless the side strength is very good. Another good thing to remember is that side strength combined in a suit, never bid over one unless your side strength is practically as strong. When judging strength in your hand remember that the Ace-Queen-Jack has the same value as an Ace-ing.

THE LIAR By Susan When I was a little boy, my family considered me an awful liar, and my three older brothers stated the fact both frequently and warmly to me and to others in my presence. But you know, I think they misjudged me. I wasn't an awful liar. I was an exceptionally good one. And why wouldn't I be with three older brothers to learn the technique from? I also learned some of the more subtle forms of deception from my mother and father and their For example, I remember one day, when I had "swipped" a cake of sweet chocolate and shared it with my mother, mother in law and I, both of whom were casually, if you know what I mean — so that I knew at once that I had been discovered. The inquiry was made in some such round-about manner of the sweet chocolate, which I think I put on the upper shelf of the pantry, but now it isn't there. I wonder if any of you have seen it. We had no one and had escaped Mother knew that, and we knew that she knew it! If she really hadn't known, her manner would have been quite different. We could read her as readily as a book. Most children can read their parents. What she wanted was to give us a chance to "come out courageously and tell the truth." She didn't want to accuse us for fear of frightening us into a lie, and she didn't want to ask a direct question that could be answered. She was being the shorter word, was likely to be chosen in preference to "yes." So she employed a perfectly transparent ruse—and a ruse to the keen, elemental mind of a child is just the same as "And what did my older brothers do in this crisis?" They didn't try to lie out of it. Oh, no! They knew it wouldn't do any good. So they looked first natively surprised and then ingangranted with what they would. "Mother," said they, "we ate it. R-"sell brought it out to us and said you had given it to him." The worst of it was, I had said just that. I had said it, but they believed it and I knew they had believed it and they knew that knew it. In fact the whole proceeding had been fabricated in duplicity. It was made up of a cake and went like this: My oldest brother would lead us all to some distance from the house and would then say to me, "Russ, there's a cake of sweet chocolate on the top shelf of the pantry," and then they would say to me, "They knew perfectly well, by experience, that I should take it without asking, thus insuring my and them against the possibility of ruin, whether they were provided with a perfect alibi. And as for me, I knew Mother and Father didn't believe in whipping, but they believed that they would talk to me sorrowfully about the pain it gave them to have a son who would lie to them. I knew I was expected to cry for a while and then it would be all over. But they would believe that Mother would pretend to believe me. She would say with great candor and sincerity: "If you say it is true, Russell dear, I know it is true, and number that I trust you absolutely." But of course I knew she didn't believe me and didn't trust me but was just trying to make me confess by shaming me. I struck me as an adult and I swore with equal candor and sincerity that I was telling the absolute truth. On the whole I think I deceived my parents more successfully than they deceived me, and my advice to parents is: Don't lie to your children any more than is absolutely necessary, because you can't deceive them anyway and there is always the chance that if you are truthful with them they may be truthful. It isn't likely that they will, but they may. Children will do almost anything to imitate their parents. As for the way I treat my own son: Well, I try to be honest. It is very difficult, I admit, but I'm always upheld by my faith. I try to hide hell surely see through it — and then where has my prestige gone to?

Anderson, noted artist of Washington, whose painting, "Jest a Thinking of de Past," attracted so much attention and favorable comment at the Harmon exhibit held in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington last May has, in a very pointed letter: to the heads of the William E. Harmon Foundation and the Federal Council or Churches, protested the awards in fine arts granted by those organizations for the best works in the field of fine arts. He has also written for the annual exhibit of the work of Negro artists now being held at the International House, 500 Riverside Drive in New York City. Mr. Anderson lays claim to any paintings he exhibits and offers in evidence of his claims his six paintings: "Dream of Dixie," "Nodding by de Fire," "Jest a Thinking of the Past," "Oh! Lord How Long," "A Road in Rock Creek Park," and "An Autumn Scene" — any and all of the claims are far superior to the paintings which are granted the awards. He also chalms that his four best paintings which are of Negro types are being withdrawn from the exhibit. He also points out that which are far inferior to the other four were selected and placed on view in the exhibit. He was very pointless challenges Dr. George E. Kessler, secretary, in charge of the exhibit, to place on exhibition his four paintings of Negro peasant types, and offers him the challenge and place his paintings beside the two which were named for the awards, so that the public, and an art critic, could judge of art, given some examples of the paintings and compare them and judge for themselves as to their relative merits.

He says, however, that more harm than good will be accomplished if they allow any person or group of persons to send out "freaks" in the name of art, labeled as the best examples of Negro art. He requested the Harmon Foundation and the Federal Council of Churches to hold up all awards and grant no definite verdicts until all the works of art submitted for the competition have been investigated and passed on by competent authorities.

The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly William Pickens SAYS ©ANP. Amazing Philosophy of General Smuts. General Smuts, ex-Premier of South Africa, is now in America discussing African and other British imperial problems. The Central is said to represent the more liberal sentiment of the whites of South Africa, and is reputed to be much more liberal and humane toward the blacks than is his successor in office. Smuts's so-called friendly and humane attitude is therefore, an amazing revelation of the political myopia and social inhumanity that must be ruling in that part of the world. In an address in Town Hall Theatre, New York City, the general gave an enormous area of physical africa; the most elevated land of all the habitable world, the highest continent except the Anarctic Continent; the loftiest mountains, from the mountain base to the summit; the greatest failure the most extensive plateaus; the most extensive plateaus; the widest and driest deserts; and the sole remaining sanctuary of the great game animals. Talks Like Travel Agent. General Smuts was fairly logical so long as he confined his discussion to the general problems of Africa, its history, and its geography, a part of his talk he was representative of some travel agency; bidding for American tourists. He ureed Americans to come to Africa, either as tourists or as settlers, calling attention to the fact that although that continent lies across the equator, it remains on one account of the great elevation of its plateaus. Evades Question of Colored Visitors. This urgent invitation was meant for white Americans, of course, for although General Smuts gave a brief and false answer when he was asked if black Americans could come, it is known by all intelligent African government refuses to visit the entrance of Negroes from anywhere, and is most especially opposed to admitting intelligent Negroes from the United States. Even when an African man embraces of Africa and come to America and get an education, he finds it next to impossible to get admitted back into his own native land. Has Philosophy of Mississippian. But the General took up the social problems, the "race problem." of South Africa, he was about as logistic as a politician from Mississippi would be, if he were talking to an audience in Harlem on the political and social privileges of American Negroes. First, the ex-Premier tried to show that the "it-always-was" logic of the average African was, and that black Africans were mentioned as slaves even in the Bible — thus appealing to the religious and the it-always-was logic of the average African. In fact, many passages in the Bible, we have failed to find it, after reading that book through. While admitting that the "slave period" was a great achievement of African Africa, we have decided that the "missionary period" was equally at fault in that it tried to do what he calls "Europeanizing the African." Then, and in order to make peace with the African, we added: "Christian missions have done more for the good of Africa than any other agency." Segregation. Then the General proceeded to show very clearly that his own policy toward the native calls for large-scale pounds, or reservations or colonies. The women and children are not to be allowed to ever leave these extensive open-air jails for any reason permitted or compelled) to come away for term of weeks, months or years, to work for white people in the mines, the fields, and in other such native labor is not barred by law. Wants Cream for Whites. And this terrible program of the slow and sure killing off of the native population is cloaked by the ex-Premier under the benevolent phrase of "preserving African culture." He pleads eloquently for saving to the Africans their right to continue to sing and dance and beat tom-toms, what time they can get off from the ground, protecting them against the civilization of the European white man, which Smuts calls "most destructive." Lacks Candor When Audience Fires Questions But the ex-Premier showed the lack of candor and of sureness of his ground when members of the audience asked questions about this peculiar social situation, and about his extraordinary proposals for its solutions by "yes" or "no", and generally said "yes" when it should be "no". When asked whether a colored American can go to South Africa, buy land and make his home, he simply replied, "yes". Having been the victim of a bombing that it is almost impossible for a Negro bishop to get into South Africa for a limited period of missionary work, and practically impossible for any Negro to get in even for a brief tourist trip. A short, unqualified speech by the at least won him the respect of certain people in the audience. When asked whether the tribal system could be maintained under European political and commercial organization, replied to "Yes, it is being done," although he had just shown in his principal address (when he was trying to give reasons for his segregation policies) that totally erupted by contacts with the European system. Most of his answers to very discriminating questions were He. He told me to write a critical examination of his statements and conclusions. He showed what an awful job it is to have to defend the rights of all members of it to reconcile all elements of a system that has great wrongs" in it.

AI that we knew was that the cow it had, was almost a strange to us, had dirt on its fur, and fore our "first Thanksgiving," camping on that sixty-mile trip, the pig the institute ever owned, and the lest we should have more to that holiday dinner. There were many other visits to the institute few years. With the same eagerness to seek information to which his initial success was due, Mr. Thomas took the lead in his project, which the Institute in southern Maryland. Suggestions were no sooner made and explained than Mr. Thomas and his wife adopted them, and began to work into operation, enranging The First to Adopt They were always among the first to adopt, and therefore among the first to benefit by these suggestions.

Farmers who said that turkeys couldn't be raised without running wild, having blackhead and giving their owners nervous prostration, unless you just naturally "had bad turkeys" laughed when the Institute bought them and using scientific methods. Thomas listened and went back into Charles County, and successfully raised a large flock. He sold him to selected customers at more than market price at Thanksgiving that spoke about improving surroundings. The New House. The Thomases' surroundings were already good, but they found a number of things to improve. We thought of something that he did not tell us about just then. A group of Institute workers went up to Charles County last month to help the farm they were trained on in the barn. The sun poured in through the broad windows of nine large, rooms, cheery and comfortable as that chilly day, with the heat the furnace in the basement of the barn. But, he smiled a quick, deprecate sort of smile, as he said. "Really would never have thought of this if it hadn't been for you folks." What's the Use? New ideas. There was never a time when he heard of an emergency at the Institute that some help from Mr. Thomas did not come hustling through malls. Sometimes we used to wonder and unite eing. A few weeks ago when we asked him what he considered most importance in giving to farmers, after his care we succeeded in finding the answer. "Just what you are doing. We need education for our young people, and some one to go out just as you are doing and to get out of the rud and farm and live in such a way that we will be of some good to ourselves and to everybody else." Mr. Thomas is one of a number of farm friendships that the Institute has formed like a million dollars, even before he slips into our pocket-book the price of the gas we take us home!

In other words, the Alabama boy who chose Leperville, Pa., as a popping of place, has been a Nordic writer in grading the present crop of heavyweights, in which he listed three divisions, placed Godfrey in the group of also-rans, Robert Risko, Young Stirbling and Roberto Roberti, the Big Olive and Spashetti man. Joined "Black Menaces" Godfrey, who a few years back, was made a charter member of the L.O.O.B.M., meaning the Loyal Order of Black Menaces, now becomes in the estimation of some of the critics of the squares, who are as a fighter they say, he is a good movie actor. But there is a side to this Godfrey muddle that is told only in the smoking rooms of Pellman Hall, where he was as a fighter through the state of Pennsylvania before it can be told. And that side is great. Granting all of Godfrey's alleged laziness, indifference, et al., one of the principal drawbacks to Godfrey's upward prowess, manager, Jimmy Dougherty, white. Blame Godfrey Too That statement may sound strange almost treasonable—but from information at hand, it is more correct than incorrect. And Godfrey is to blame Bob, mad, mischievous, and he allows a condition to exist that makes him the goat, the chump, if you please. Go back, so care you, to the Monday night when Godfrey kayed Jim Maloney, white. Boston to Philadelphia. That flattening was the signal for Godfrey to start his upward climb. Jack Sharkey, white, the Boston bob who by the way, is now mentioned as the foremost of the heavyweight for the four heats to perform the same trick. Golden Opportunity Here was opportunity ringing the bell at big George's shack, but Jimmy Dougherty was stuffing cotton wedding in it, so Godfrey wouldn't hear it. From that time on, Godfrey couldn't get lights unless he sold out, and from the Leilerville mauler's subsequent showings there was every indication to substantiate such rumors. Godfrey won an empty victory over Paolino Uscudan, the Basque, in California, and immediate victory over a race winner in a race With Johnny Risko, white the Ple and Doughnut Man of Cleveland it was the same tale, although the judges disagree with the吝. "The Godfrey must fight with his hands tied behind him or starve. He'd be mobbed if he kaycote one of the Nordics." Chocolate's Revival Cited Reconceive these statements then, with the exploits of that daring ring gladiator, Kid Chocolate, who flat-tens every white boy he can lay a USE ROYAL CABS Vernon 6792 The Southern Fidelity & Surrey Company, Box 612, Durham, N.

Chocolate's Nordic following is just as enthusiastic about him as any Negro group could be, and the more knockouts the team sees, the more like him. There is no talk of Chocolate having to sell out or fake a fight. He fought his way from the bottom of the ladder to a position as leader of his division, getting great praise from the Battalion, the white champion of the division. True, Chocolate is a great fighter, but the big factor in his ring successes lies with his manager, Mr. Zelousy, zealously guards Chocolate to keep him in condition and away from associates who would lure him from the beaten path. Godfrey Neglected Does anyone guard Godfrey with such zeal? Certainly not. Only a pair of weeks ago, Big George sneaked off to Virginia and engaged in a fight, where Dugger was known to know. Should such a condition exist in the camp of a man who is calling himself a "contender" for the heavyweight boxing title? I ask you. Consider the excess poundage that Godfrey must endure each day. Proper training would whack away some of that surplus avuodupols, and have Godfrey at a suitable weight instead of the 240 or 260 pounds he is said to weigh at times. It is doubtful whether Godfrey follows out any regular training program, unless he is preparing for a bolt the next day or so. Too Much Indifference Indifference on the part of both Godfrey and his management, it appears, has shunted the big heavyweight from the spotlight which he occupied for a fleeting moment, to the darkened wings of the fistic stage. Lack of aggressiveness is the thing that has been a drawback. Dempsey Places Him Seventh Jack Dempsey, in a list of ratings released this week, places Godfrey in seventh place among the present crop of heavyweight title contenders. Dempsey lists the fighters in the following order: Jack Sharkey, Max Schmeling, Tuffy Griffiths, Phil Cook, Jonny Reed, George Godfrey, Johnny Risko, Victorio Gampolo, Young Stribling and Paolo Uzcdun. Godfrey is responsible for the toppling of Uzcdun and Risko from among the leaders, for neither seems to have maulings Big George administered. They tell the story that Godfrey has never been "mad at anyone" in his life. If he became riled, his followers say, he would be a superman. Godfrey is not actually not growing any younger. An opportunity is fast slipping out of his grasp. Of course, if Godfrey really doesn't want a crack at the title, that's his business. It is for somebody to make him good and mad. And while they're at it they might give his manager a treatment also. Cavalry Five Swamps Army Service 42-6 Horsemen Give Brilliant Passing and Shooting Exhibition BY AUBREY J.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 18, 1930 Hear Me Talkin' To Ya THE news that Jack Farrell, Chester Pa. fight promoter, has come to Baltimore to stageights at the New Albert Auditorium, was received with no small amount of relish by followers of the fistic pastime in this area. Farrell, whose connection boomed over a period of years has made one of the best-selling games in the game, promises that he will bring a group of high-class fighters to the Monumental City if only the local patrons will turn out. To show the folks that really means business, Farrell has matched the Pacific Coast wellweight, with Jack (Kid) Bates of Pittsburgh, for the main struggle of a five-board card at the New Albert, Tuesday nigger. Gans, who needs no introduction to local fans, has pulled up an impressive ring record, and his coming here is being anticipated, too no small show of enthusiasm. Bates, close, close, close, rough and tumble fighter who can give as much as take. He recently returned from a triumphant invasion of Porto Rico and has been following out a strenuous routine in preparation for his fight here Tuesday night. Whether Bates knows it or not, the future of boxing in Baltimore rests in his legs and arms. Which is just another way of saying that if the Pittsburgh boy shows up as a palooza going to do just what they have done before, they were disappointed — stay a good showing (and we have reason to believe that he will), fight lovers here are going to renew their confidence in the game and come out. Boxing in Baltimore has been in the business principally because various groups of promoters tried to stage bouts here, lost sight of the face that unless they offered the public the real McCoy, there would be a noticeable effect at the box Price. From what this scribler can gather, the coming of Gans is just the beginning of a fistic program that will bring bi-monthly, some outstanding GOD bouts to the city. You can take it from this writer that if GOD bouts are offered, the public will turn out. for there are many lovers of good fights here, a large number of them being won't The show Tuesday night is the barometer by which he can read the immediate future of the boxing game here. Prospects now are brighter than they have been for years; and with Farrell at the helm, there should come an appreciable raisings of fistic stock here. And as I have already pointed out, it all depends on Bates. G ASEBALL talk is already filling the air here, so much that, it is hard to make the discussion of part tans without having someone bring it. It for discussion or argument. R Amore Ressler, the power behind the Black Sox, is won- D. SORRELL George Rossiter, the power behind the Black Sox, is wondering along with this writer, when, if ever, there'll be a league meeting in the East. However, meeting or no meeting, Rossiter feels almost certain that the team he will put on the field in 1930 is going to be a humdinger. The foxy player of 1930 had a chance to think of what he is expecting in a coming season. But he wouldn't tell all. "It wouldn't do to let the cat out of the bag," he explained, good naturally. "There is plenty of time before I release anything definite. It does seem to me tho, that we would at least get a piece of calico or something to show that we won both halves of the season last year, but what do they care about us? Of this, we must have organized it in the East at any cost. One thing we must do is to try to buck up against the problems which arise in trying to play independent baseball. "The fans want a league, and regardless of the fact that the league last year was not perfect, it was better than no league at all and believe me, these howlers who are kicking against a league will be glad to come in. Mark my words." And with these words the local mogul banged his fist upon the table so hard that well, he was convincing. With the defending champions will have the same lineup they had last year. The million-dollar infield will be intact, but there will have to be a place filled in the outfield. Rap Dixon and Pete Washington will be there, but who the third man will be is not a certainty. But because impressed fans will be the part of the season, may be coming in to gripe he may not. Frank Warfield, in sunny Cuba, where, when you speak of beer you don't think of a funeral, is not sleeping. The hustling Black Sox manager is right on the job, and who knows that but he may lasso some promising material down the road. The bull players down there now who would like to call Baltimore their home, and it is possible that a pitcher, an indefender and an outfielder, whose names every baseball fan should know, may cast their lots here. Certainly if there is no league in the East this year these men will come here. The league is involving trades, celebrations. But what we started out to say was, that the Black Sox will be just as strong as they were last year, if not stronger, and that's no pun. The addition of an outfielder and a pair of pitchers, will round out the local outfielder. And should you ask, "What else despite the perennial winner they will be." The old balkyard at Westport will get a new coat of paint or whitewash, but there will be very little new. And, let the writer of your favorite column tell you that, until the Black Sox OWN URIGHT a park of their own, there won't be very many improvements. And should they be a park here if it is developed, and I speak of none other than the site of Wonder Park. Certainly it should be worth investigating. ASKETBALL in Baltimore within the next few years, I predict, will turn the eyes of the sports world toward the Memorial City, and see league wagings about local cagers as before. And this is no idle prattle. The names of the Renaissance team of New York, the Savoy Big Five of Chicago, the Lion Tamers of Cincinnati, the Cleveland Elks and the Philadelphia Giants, has been the most successful team in the Golden Age of basketball, when St. Christopher, Loendi and a few others ruled the roost, may come again. Here in Baltimore, the Athenian basketball team, which was prominent for a while and then did a temporary fadface, is building an organization that will soon step out to make a name for itself. The Greek have plans to put a pro team on the floor that will be second to none. With their present combination, the Greeks gave the Renaissance team a close battle for a fortnight ago, and fans have clamored for a return match because they were not sure what to expect. The players when it is considered that the Rens, colored champions, what has been termed an unbeatable combination. But they will return here February 21. The Rens will be beaten, however even if old age will have to do. The Rens and Few Rivers are the "Old Man Rivers" of the combine, can't go on forever, and despite the fact that younger material is being groomed for their posts, there is no certainty that the new ones will be adequate successors. Building with youth, the Athenians, with Hap Wheatley and Cuttle Brown, former Morgan State and Jackson, Jimmy Thomas, Tommy Well Shefley, Dick Whitlington, Slim Henderson, and Teeny Brown have the nucleus for a great team. And when you consider that Lanky Jones and Pinky Clarke, following their graduation, may be added to the club, you may not wonder why my prediction of a championship quint was made. The Athensians for the past few years have been content to remain at home, but they are planning by next year to play a large number of games and the Golden Age of basketball will employ an expert basketball coach to whip the team into shape. A combination of Wheatley and Brown as guards, Lanky Jones and Pinky Clarke or Chink Wyatt as forwards, with Slim Henderson and Pinky Clarke as center, will beat. All of the players are young and vigorous and play equally well on defense and offense. It is not unlikely that this combination will be seen in action under the Greek banner. The national honors, the large number of club quints developing here will make even stronger competition for local laurels. The My Barber Shop Five, "Y" Defenders, Regular Fellows, Collegians and others, have some good material, and they are learning to play the court game scientific. No, basketball is a long way from being dead in Baltimore.

Five Morris Brown Cage Stars Found Ineligible ATLANTA, Ga.—The return to his office of Dean Ernest Whalen, who was the first four players occasioned a check-up on the eligibility of Morris Brown University athletes, and as a result, he will be lost to the team this season. The players lost are Drafton Roberts, all-southern forward and one of the most outstanding basketers in the country. He played in the football, and All-Southern guard in basketball; Jim McCage, former star center of Ohio State Alphas; Crip Gredell, All-Southern quarterback, football, and star forward in basketball. Jack Thornton, for A.I. sir, With most of their stars suspended, the Wolverines opened their cage season with their reserves. Lincoln Intra-mural Cage Loop Under Way 20 Teams Entered in Independent and Class Division Play Starts Monday, BY HILL & LEFTRIDGE LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. — Intramural basketball at Lincoln University got under way Monday with twenty teams in the competition.

FIGHT Keed to Meet Bennp Hall in Rac "Featherweight Championship" By FRANK BYRD MIAMI, Fla. — Because no mixed bouts are allowed, Kid Chocolate has agreed to fight Ben Hall, a completely washed-out Harlem pug, for what has been called the Mardi Gras fight. The world, at the famous resort, the first week of February. Such a one-sided affair would never be tolerated in New York; even if the box office kept open house and distributed ringside pastebacks the day before, it is not New York — and so on. The Chocolate-Hall fracta may be justified, however, since there are likely to be two or three other fights at a two-room odor pulled off in the downtown. Lew Manglora is managing the Fronton Arena in Miami and Jess McMahon will handle the promotion end of it when he arrives in Florida. Jess has already been successful in the fight, Spencer Snapp in the heaviest, and Pete Nebo, Seminole Indian, for the feature ten-round on February 10, but has not announced the participants for a heavweight bout that will follow the Marlins in the playoff fight, but Nebo is entirely too clever for him. TALLADEGA FIVE WINS ATLANTA, Ga. — The Talladega College Cagers defeated Morris Brown 51 to 43 here, Friday night, in a game that ended in "21."

Burns always were harmless, while Jack hit him; will but not using his full power, to prolong Burns's punishment. In the fourteenth round, when Jack had decided to put an end to Burns's misery, the police Inspection needed the fight. It was apparent that Burns was but a suffering mass of bruised blood. The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly Coppin Normal Basketers Hand Ducks 25-14 Defea Former High School Stars Turn Tables on Green Douglass Team Coach Gibson Sizing Up New Material for Schedule Despite the fact that the Coppin Normal School baskets handed the Douglass High School team a 25-14 drubbing, Friday afternoon, Coach L. U. (Buck) Gibson, of Douglass, must have received several of satisfaction, as all of the winners were cage pupils of the "Duck" mentor. It was the first game of the season for Douglass, while the Coppinites had previously played several games. Coach Gibson used over 15 binations to charge to give all the charges a workout. Some good material was uncovered, but lack of co-ordination, which should be eliminated during the next two weeks, was conspicuous. After more practice, will probably be the best teams in the history of the school. Close at Start The game was close during the first quarter, the score at the end of that period being 3-2 in favor of the Coppin quint. But with the opening of the second quarter the coming teachers began to edge away, and juggernaut prominently in the scoring. At half time, Coppin led 11 to 3, having scored eight points to one for Douglass. Substitutions made frequently by Coach Glosson of the in their starting lineup. The Ducks in their starting lineup, Rawlings and Simpson, forwards; Jones, center; and Barber and Hooks Dorsey, guards. They were soon replaced and did not re-enter the game the last two minutes of the final quarter, a rally had been started by Dyson. Douglass Rally Too Late Holding a 25-11 lead with two minutes to play, the Coppin cagers started freezing the ball. The Ducks were able to gain possession of the sphere long enough to quail but could not do better. The entire Coppin team, a more experienced group, played well. the work of Robinson at guard being particularly effective and the Mackinaw outstanding. For Douglas, Dyson, Morris and Jones played best, but no single player was able to score more than one basket.

Allen and smacken snakes from the guards to drop in a good apiece and the seaside columns 14-19. the Wildcats, Hilton and Vesels were the big guns with goals apiece, while Durant led the “Y” in the scoring column. A mentable weakness in foul shooting was the undoing of the Borton’s team of fourteen foul shots the school boys succeeded in taking only five.

CUBAN HEAVYWEIGHT SAYS BOARD UNJUST CUBAN HEAVYWEIGHT SAYS BOARD UNJUST Carl Carter Denied Fight with Carrera, Makes Protest NEW YORK. — Carl Carter the Cuban heavyweight holds a bit of resentment against the real boxing board, as a result of his being an opponent for "Kid Boss" Primera, by Jess McMahon last week. Since his return from Paris, the Cuban has been training diligently for his first star of the New Year, now a professional speaks for itself. There is not a single blot on it. In his engagements with the leading lights of the heavyweight, he beat more than have beat him. Finding a lack of opponent here, he set sail for Paris. There he cleaned up all the opposition until he met Carter, the Cuban's board of strategy would never permit their mountain to meet Carter. They knew then and still do know, that Carter would knock Carter. They knew their laps at any deserved time. If the boxing board thinks it's gameness. Carter lacks, all they have to do is to look at the reports of the fighters. Carter has his last bout in Paris. Three days before the show he fractured two bones in his left hand. When he told the promoter what had happened, Carter was simply told that if he knew what was good for him he knew what was good for him. And Carter, hand or no hand. And Carter did. Carter is ready to visit the commission any day and have any number of physicians examine him and is also desirous to know just by what he knows. Carter can be Garneta or any other heavyweight in the ring today. ASBURY PARK WINS ASBURY PARK, N.J.—Coach DeWay the Tiger quint annexed their sixth straight victory of the season here.

AS GIRLS SEE IT By FAITH WOODSON The Eastern and Central parts of the Tar Heel State can well boast of as fine a batch of girl basketball cagers as ever shot a ball. For form and speed these teams are of a sport to find, and we shall mention that later. Probably among the outstanding of these teams are Wilmington (state champs last year), Warsaw, Norwood (state champs last year), and New York have had excellent coaching but in addition to this, the players just seem to have good "basketball sense". In addition to this, most of them play in the same school, and among other schools that vie with these three for honors, are teams of The Harnett County trade school in Dunn; Southport, Elizabeth City and Clinton. Obviously the greatest drawbacks to some of these teams are unpsortman-like conduct on the floor and unnecessary roughness. Evidently, the reason for this, is that the coaches permit it at home. Harnett County same when away playing a game. Some of the players trip, push and use all kinds of language and are seldom reprimanded by their coaches. They are also more likely to these instructors, from the fact that they usually do the referencing. They referee "and how!" Often they refuse to be shown the rules, because the occasion demands. It is usually necessary in these small towns to let the coach of one team referee will the other umpires. They stated before, all of these teams and are more of a pretty fair type. But their production of a blah class of playing will only come when their coaches decide that the follow-up to the rule book know more than they. SPORT CALENDAR Athletics, 35; Jack Morris Five, 32.

Taking his name from Baltimore's immortal Joe Gans, the boxer who was christened Gerald Slaughter, has been in the prize ring for more than five years and in that time has mads a "liquid record."

Gans has a stinging right punch which he mixes with a left punch, and has been termed by some ring critics as a "shock puncher." He is 26 years old and has compiled a record of 61 knockouts in 102 fights. He will enter the ring weighing 139 Bates, who recently returned to the United States from a three-months tour of Rio Rico, even eight fighters feel confident that he will make rough rong for Gans.

The Chanticleers to be Hosts to Society on the 27th. Some Personal Doings. ALO. PANSY, MY DEAR: It last the rush is over and the stress which always follows a rapid gay season, is bringing the fashion world to a more or less standard, and giving society the advantage of catching up their beauty sleep, from weeks of socialities, or the remainder of January and month of February, society will devoted mostly to musical concerts, social events. irritable and inimitable the originality and splendor of the infuctions given during the affair weeks has been such that affair given in the weeks to will probably be tender and charismatic the Yule season even. However, for sojourn, here goes— cads and Supper Dance. stop, social spot-lights were located on the home of Mr. and George Butler, 2419 Madison on New Year's night, when were at home to a card, upper dress number of friends the Albert Lewis so were Cyrus Marshall his wife, their sister and brother, of course, Dr. and Hardughes, the Dr. and Butlers, a Butler, Mrs. Matthews, Mrs. Harmon, Mrs. Emerson Hillen, oh, yes, some more Butlers, a-I think is her name, Alberde of the boy George Mitchell, Levin Macer, Mitchell and D. Nicholson. you played cards and clever prizes awarded; but, girlle, when they passed to the dining room and such an exquisitely beautiful linen, silver brabain with the baskets to match the best of food, together with the best of service, no wonder a hull on all, although before, you must hear your voice, you carmine all around the house; the pretty lights added it was a picturesque setting. when the host and hostess removed chairs from the room, like-use, and dancing proceeded, a well spent and enjoyable dining. The Faustinas at Noel's. easily, the Faustina Club is a club moves on the spur of the moment. They pay no dues, award prizes they feel so much, and dance if they think they live the rest of the week after; and during the seventeenth years that they have been ordained, they haven't felt that they afford to give a big dance at a however, in spirit, they are the happy-go-lucky and jolly bunch want to meet, if you care for and noise, at club meetings. Sunday behavior, while one or two you will find the same way all the time. However, to the members and then on to the delightful party Noel gave for that bunch and a number of extra guests. Ruth Diggs Tucker is one of the members, also Hattie Tyler, Elen Dutton Brooks, Violet Clemens Nixon, Florence Fax Ray, Sarah Fernandis and of course, Noel Johnson Wansell. Villa Hughes, who married and is living in New York, is an honorary member, and is always present at the meeting when she comes down. You see, Noel hasn't been married much over six months, and everybody she meets has modified the club she would take them for curiosity sake, if nothing more—to see how she was fixed in her new home, and what all she had. Just like a woman, she was a girl, and day evening, she entertained, and her day at 2338 Madison avenue, is one of those that are few and far between, in wall papering, furnishings and artistic taste in draperies, and making an atmosphere of comfort and cheerfulness. Her husband, Leroy Wansell, is very reserved and quiet, but realizes the value of a good wife and home, so of course, nothing but happiness reigns there. Bridge was the evening's pleasure, and Noel did her part as hostess in the way of seeing that everybody was there. Noel took the doctor ordered, and the prizes, which went to Violet Nixon, Pauline Ford and Rachel Crowner, were adorable and useful. Jennette, Club Noel had, her two sisters, Jennette McMaude and Maurie Wilson, Gertrude Lynch, Roberta Holmes, Rosa Hernidon, Rachel Crowner, and Pauline Ford. At a late hour the folks left with memories of a huge evening. A Pretty Bridge Luncheon One of the charming social functions last week, Pansy, was the lovely bridge luncheon given by Mrs. Arnette Crowner adorable mother, Eliza Curren, at their home, on Saturday afternoon. The color scheme of red, green and yellow, lent a beautiful note to the delightful event. Following the elaborate luncheon, bridge was enjoyed the rest of the afternoon, with the beautiful bridge trophies going to Mrs. Helen Holland, Mrs. Cora Johnson and Mrs. Cornelia Waters. The hostesses, Pansy, were alert and up-to-the-minute in the smallest details that added pleasure to the delightful gathering. Mrs. Frisby was so sweetly gowned, my dear, in a black lace creation over flesh satin, while Mrs. Curry was equally attractive in a soft tan chiffon. Among the prominent guests were, Juanita Allen and her sister, Mrs. King, Clara Robinson, Flavia Thomas, Annie Frisby, Mrs. Tolson, Cora Johnson, Annie Smith, Edith Biddle, Airy Hawkins, Nannie Biddle, Maud Onley, Ivora Jones, Vallie Sewell, Helen Holland and Cornelia Waters. The Girlgigs Party. Ee, Pansy, Odell Watkins, Ethel Scott, Waltye Murphy, Inez Duffin, Eve Duffin, Elizabeth Greene, we some hostesses when they put over that most delightful formal dance at Elks Hall, Friday evening. The canopy at the hall, in itself, when you got a glimpse of the hall, oh boy! a hall transformed into dreamland. A peep at the ladies with the long lines in their exquisite lighting effect, to say nothing of the fascinating and alluring music, left nothing else to add to make an event- ful and memorable evening, but the dear old boys and their heavenly dancing, and a sufficient space is certainly due them. The Chanticleers Coming. The Chancellors and get all your business affairs settled, and Jack says you can come if you do—the Chancellers are about to complete their list, for their invitations to another one of their just too bad formalms. Originality is their Christian name and when you happen to miss an invite, you are out of luck for the whole week. You won't know Elks' Hall on the 27th, if all their plans are carried out, and Harvey Johnson is just one of that kind that you either come up and he is the head dog of the pack, in other words—Mr. President. The folks around here have already began paying calls to the members and their wives and making it so in their way of thinking that they will be among the expected guests. In my way of thinking almost asking for an invitation. Yet, had you attended the lecture at the Y.M.C.A., by George S. Schuyler, on the subject. "Sex," you would have learned from the discussions that followed, that nobody is ashamed to say or think anything in this new age. The Wrights' House Guest. Let me tell you, the William Wrights, at Prestman and Carey streets, surcly had a house full of guests this week. Pansy, and they were all so pleasant too. Let me see, they had Dr. and Mrs. E. Frank Tyson, of Charlotte, N.C.; Mr. and Mrs. S. Smith, of Chattanooga, Tenn., and Thaddeus Tate, of Charlotte, N.C. Of course a number of exclusive affairs were given for them and everybody was so sorry their stay was so short. You remember me telling you about Marjorie Lynch being appointed a social worker in the city service here at the beginning of the fall season. This week she was put down on her recumbent position, and recently appointed—and they are so pleased with the work she has accomplished within such a short time, that her mother and dad are tickled with her. My, my, it's a dream, Pansy-Audrey's ring. Yes, she got it Christmas present. Kinda like a combination present—Christmas gift and engagement card. It's coming down the street all smiles, and Audrey Berry says she has never been so happy. How soon? Can't tell. They tell me, Pansy, tint Dick Whittington don't let Beatrice Truman out of his sight nowadays. Seen at a dance, I hear, the other fellow is lucky if he gets a half dance with On, On, well, I guess they are engaged. I have been trying to figure from the beginning of the fall, Pansy, who is with me, Garrett, Tawshings, so is him chatting with me in his life here of late. In the evenings he makes it a point to pick up a certain lady in his new car, on her way to work, and he stands at the forground, he spends his time on his telephone calls as a rule, are all mixed up. He will straighten us up soon, I guess. He is in between Barnice Downing and her boy friend, Bill Matthews. If you happen to meet them on the street, she is hugging him so tight by the arm, a policeman comes over to hear their spears. Hope you will decide to come down this week.

EMPLOYS 25,000 Over Half Entire Population in City's Biggest Plant FIND MILLIONAIRE Winston-Salem Realtor Penniless 30 Yrs. Ago WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—As soon as the itinerant alights from his train in this city he becomes impressed because his eyes fall upon the finest building in the South — the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's 23-story plant that covers a space from Main to Church Street and three-fourths of a block from Fourth to Fifth Street. The first question you ask yourself is how I will get to see the inside of this famous structure that is North Carolina's pride? Welcome at the Reynolds Plant The color of your skin does not matter when you enter the R. V. Reynolds building. Fortune to me, Mr. W. J. Fix, head of the interior department, on engagement was made for me to return that I might get any information I wanted. On filling the engagement with Mr. Fix, whom I were, the first thing I was told was of the cordial relationship which existed between the two noses. Next in line I was ushered to the clinic where x-rays and surgical instruments of every description my eyes, ears, hands, and all that belong get free dental and medical service. Tubercular cases are given the best of attention and typhoid serum are injected and employees who desire it as a safe V.M.C.A. Coming One of the big things that is in the making, is a colored book of five twenty-five and and the Reynolds company and leading white philharmonists are to help build the building which is twenty-five thousand dollars. Chapter of Commerce Gives Welcome Mr. Fix, my newly-made acquaintance, was not satisfied with my knowing of the philanthropy of the R. J. Reynolds company. He wanted to meet and meet the secretary of the chamber of commerce, the secretary of the chamber, who gave me a cordial welcome. Mr. Ritter told me that the plan used by the Harmon award committee was also used by Winston-Salem. Professor R. C. Harkernk, who received the 1929 award, is president of the Memorial Industrial School which was built in honor of his achievements hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars. It is the gift of Mr. W. N. Reynolds, the baby cottage the gift of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Gray; the girl cottage the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Bowman Gray; the gift of the gift of the late R. J. Reynolds, Richard Smith, Misses Meyley and Nancy Smith, and an additional gift has been made by Mr. W. N. Reynolds for equipment power plant. The late J. M. Rogers and Robert Cutz both left legacies to Kennolds Insurance Plan Colored employees are insured by the company plan in the Equitable Life Assurance Society, which gives them protection when physically incapacitated. Negroes Own Stock in Company Many of the employees of the R. J. Company own stock in this big concern. Stock is sold them for the purpose of teaching them to save and as a protection in old age. Winston-Salem's Colored Population The city has a population of forty thousand. Negroes, of whom more are employed by the R. J. Reynolds company and other factories. The white press is exceedingly fair to the colored citizens of Winston-Salem. The white staff is the main staff of the Journal through Mr. H. A. Wiseman, race member of the staff. Much space was given the Afro-American Friday morning relative to the work done by the Winston-Salem's Millionnaire Winston-Salem's whites will tell you that not only do they have white millionaires, the city has a colored millionaire in Charles H. Jones, the realtor. The financial status of Mr. Jones was verified by one of the staff of the Journal and several men at the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company who rated him as a millionaire. How Mr. Jones Began Mr. Jones came to Winston-Salem thirty years ago from Washington, the city's most poor-well-being and penniless. He worked night and day until he saved sixteen dollars and opened a grocery store. Night after night he slept on the counter of his store. His holdings today are said to be up to the million dollar mark. His first purchase of real estate was a half of block from a white man who sold him the property. Three thousand five hundred dollars, without one penny down. A deed of trust was secured for twenty thousand by which to improve the property for rental purposes. This was his beginning of success. Today Mr. Jones owns one building one hundred feet from the Reynolds building that he has a standing office for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. For Mestow his name is in no who's who and his photograph in Owns 180 Houses He owns one hundred and eighty dwellings, ninety per cent of them modern, two gas stations, five farms, a farm and fifty-five acre tract of land in Cumberland County, Virginia, a half interest in the leading colored theatre, a half interest in a bakery, stock stores, doing business throughout county, and valuable stock in many white enterprises. It is just as common to hear one discuss and discuss the borrowing of one hundred to five thousand dollars on real estate, as it is to hear one walk to counter and ask for a soft drink. Mr. Jones says that too many of our race trust in luck and good fortune, yet he has found that hard Man Chews Off Woman's Ear Charged with mayhem by reason of biting off the ear of Miss Minnie Meyers, Mark Lewis, 1000 Mosher street, was held for grand injury action without bail after a hearing in the Northwestern police station. With her head swathed in bandages, Miss Meyers related how during an altercation over a small amount of money, he hit her ear off. work is the basis of all success. He declared that the only real pleasure he gets out of life is doing something for some one else. Many Wealthy Negroes There are many wealthy Negroes among the professional and business people of Winston-Salem. Colored people of Winston-Salem are engaged in every type of business that is contagious. A Substantial Bank Among the financial enterprises doing a lucrative business is the Forsyth Savings and Trust Company whose directors are some of the most outstanding citizens of the Northeast. Negroes on Bus Line Color logo of Winston-Salem do not have to worry jim-crow car laws, as they are well equipped with conveyances of their own. They are also for a motor bus company, informed me that the company operates forty-two buses covering every territory largely populated by colored people, people, including drivers and office force. Negroes Operate Bakery Colored people of Winston-Salem bake their bread in a sanitary plant equally as good. They are called the Company. Under the company's system the bread sold one day is exchanged for fresher bread the next day. The bread is sold to farmers for feed for stock. Lawyers Given Recognition One who has not had the opportunity to visit the court rooms of Winston-Salem would be surprised entering a courtroom at the counsel table side by side with others trying a case. I was given this opportunity Thursday morning when Attorney Wits, one of the outstanding attorneys in the murder case which was no乳 pressed by the judge before it reached the jury. Lawyers have keys to the attorney's retractable separate seats for white or colored lawyers. They converse on matters of law together. Colored people in Winston-Salem, which has the largest colored population in the state, own many mod-homes. Civic Improvements Fine There are but few cities in Dixie that give their colored citizens civic conditions equal to the civic conditions in other cities. Colored citizens of Winston-Salem have many first class streets on which to build elaborate homes. Many homes owned by colored people of Winston-Salem or of Negroes in other states in Dixie. Parole Sought for Tubercular Victim Woman Will Probably Be Released and Treated at Henryton. An investigation is being made by State Parole Commissioner Ambrose J. Kennedy, into the condition of Florence Day, an inmate of the House of Correction, for the purpose of granting her a parole so that she may be given special treatment for tuberculosis. Kennedy became interested in the case when he received a letter from Patrick J. Brady, warden of the House o. Correction, that the woman was suffering with the malady and should be sent to Henryton for treatment. Dr. Joshua H. Armacost, of the penitentiary medical department, reported that the woman had a definite tuberculosis, which has been verified by sputum and X-ray examinations. A preliminary review of the case is being made by Mr. Kennedy, who states that in all probability the woman will be paroled and sent to Henryton.

Mr. Guntharp, who came here from Waltham three years ago, told the AFRO-AMERICAN that, despite the fact that police had stood guard at the place since he moved in Monday, there was too much danger to his family to persist in keeping the place as his white landlord had Place Stoned The Guntharps moved from 2130 Oak street, Monday morning, into the 200 block, occupied largely by white Italian anilies, and 325 children from 200 small children started the bombing of the home by throwing milk bottles and bricks through the windows.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 18, 1930 Aged Prisoner Left Behind When Governor Gave Paroles Madison I. Brown, Paralysis Victim, May Have to Spend Rest of Days Behind Prison Bars. DIDN'T ATTACK WHITE CHILD BURNS TO DEATH GIRL, COURT RULES WHEN STOVE EXPLODES The eleven prisoners who walked happily out of the Penitentiary and House of Correction on Christmas Day with paroles granted by Governor John left behind a young girl who never spent an unhappiest Christmas. The governor has desired for several months to grant a parole to Madison I. Brown, a hopeless victim of locomotor ataxia, paralyzed from the waist and has found no one to act as guardian. The pight of Brown was brought to the attention of the AFO-AMERICAN by Mr. Kennedy, state parole commissioner. When physicians decided that B.B. Anderson were limited, offensals sought to free him. But to do this, a guardian was necessary. A brother, whose name was not learned promised the parole board to act in this capacity. Officials had brought the boutonier, just at the time the gates were ready to be swung open for Brown, his brother came forward and undid DIDN'T ATTACK WHITE GIRL, COURT RULES Osiah Warfield Freed of Charge of Assaulting 18-Year-Old Miss. POLICE FLAYED "Identification" Method Rapped by Judge Grayson. Although "positively identified" by Miss Mary Elizabeth Ward, 18, as the man who criminally assaulted her on a lonely road November 23, the officer was acquitted here before Judge C. Gig Grayson in the circuit court last week. Wardfire was arrested shortly after the trial and taken before the young white woman who deserved to be held accountable for her after she had alighted from a street car, threw her down and attacked her. The judge's decision, given without allowing the defense to put in evidence, was based on the story of the girl, and the method of identification used by police. He practically repudiated her story of the alleged Bit Her Finger In announcing his decision, Judge Grayson declared that if he had been convinced that Warfield was guilty of lying, he would have sentenced him to hang, but that the testimony of Miss Beard led him to the conclusion that he was innocent. "She and testified" he said "that in struggle to free herself, she had one of his forefingers in her mouth and she had bitten it severely as a woman would naturally do defending her honor. The examination of his finger shortly after the attack showed no fresh bruises." Bans Police Identity Judge Grayson also rapped the method the police used to fasten the door of the Beard was in a highly nervous condition. Warfield was brought before her alone to be identified and she declared he was the man. That was not the proper way to establish the identity he was be tried for his life," the Judge said.

The "Tree of Life" which Vienna entitled "The Tree of Life" which was to have been presented by Mrs. Angulo and others postponed the success of the early publication. the work of the parole board by declining to take the invalid, offering as an excuse that his work often required enforced absences from home. The governor and the parole board feel that Brown has paid his debt to society. They want to see him spend his remaining days outside the stone house, being by them for some public spirted person to act as Brown's guardian so that he may be paroled. Brown realizes his helpless condition, but has not abandoned hope that he may spend the rest of his days free. He is approved by years of age and sentenced to prison. Brown has served a year and several months of his term. This is certainly a case in which noble hearted persons can demonstrate a humanitarian spirit, intending to this poor man working away behind bleak walls may call the APRO office or the state parole board. 12-Months-Old Edward Yarbough Meets Horrible Death in Home.
