Making "Gentlemen" is Chief Aim at West Point Next to "Math," Personal Etiquette and Social Department Loom High. WEST POINT, N. Y—Except "math" and its allied applications, no subject is taken more seriously at Uclean Sam's crack high officers training school at West Point, than the matter of eliquette. You must know a great deal of mathematics when you come to West Point, but they also take up the serious problem of "teaching one to be a gentleman." Dancing Important First, there are regular instructors in dancing as well as in other social procedure. The cadet is taught when to bow, how to bow, when to take a lady's arm and when and whose arm not to take. He must learn how to differentiate beween the social amenities he accorded, not only the differentities of his own country, but the one of every civilized country, the globe, for it is assumed that duties may take him to any place on the earth. A course on how dancing is taught, also explain why the color cadet may easily become a proffessor at West Point, especially a man who might be persistent and courageous enough to refuse to sidereck some things about this teaching. Practice Hops While the intricacies of the steps are taught by an instructor in the gymnasium, the course calls for practice demonstrations. These are generally provided in Saturday evening "hops" to which cadets invite girl friends from on or off the post. At these "hops," their dancing is observed and criticised in structors. If a color cedar should wish to invite a girl friend to one of these affairs the problem may loom. He might invite a white girl; he might invite, and probably would, abolished girl or he might not be allowed to invite any girl or to participate. In either case some kind of protest* would probably *come with* possibly wide ramifications. Colonel Young's Example In the days of the late Colonel Young and others, the problem was met by not inviting the cadet to the "hops" "proms" or other purely social gatherings. This was the easiest way then, but with a Congressman like Oscar DePriest in the House, such a procedure might lead to some kind of official investigation. Times Changing Another aspect of this problem, which cannot be given too much consideration, is the changing attitude of both white and colored people on the subject of social contact. A white woman at West Point told the writer that there were several white families on the post who would cooperate to give a colored cadet the social contact necessary to his course in super-gentlemanship. Lines Tight Another factor is the tight social lines between the lower class men, and the lines between the cadet and the enlisted man and non-comissioned officer. Young Parham, for instance, was told by: a kindly disposed white woman some time ago that if he remained until next year, no doubt (Continued on Page Eleven) N.C.

Virginians Agree on New Barber Colored Tonsorialist Assured Nothing Harmful in New Measure RICHMOND. Va. — The legislature has agreed upon a substitute barber bill and its backers have assured colored opponents that there is nothing in the measure "that will tend to discriminate against them." The measure provides for a board of examiners, one of whom shall be a physician and the other two barbers to serve at $10 a day not in excess of ten days annually except in the case of compensation of not more than $500.

AT SCHOOL' 25 YRS. Smoking on Campus First Problem. HAMPTON, V. a. — Dr. George P. Phenix, white, 66, acting principal of Hampton Institute, who has been named as principal to succeed Dr. J. E. Gregg, resigned, gets his biggest appointment one year after he would ordinarily be expected to retire from strenuous service. Dr. Phenix came to Hampton twenty-five years ago at the invitation of former Principal H. B. Frissell. At that time he was principal of the state normal school at Willamantic, Conn. He is a native of Portland, Me., and a graduate of Colby College. At Hampton he is best known for his organization and administration the summer school, although the greater part of the institute's administration has long devolved upon him. When Principal H. B. Frissell died twelve years ago, age D, Dr. Phenx was named acting principal, but Dr. Gregg was later appointed principal. In his office, Dr. Phenx makes use of an audiophone to facilitate his hearing. Silver Cup George Foster Peabody, white, head of the trustee board, presented Dr. Phenix with a silver loving cup. Armstrong on Board Announcement also was made by Mr. Peabody of the election of Daniel W. Armstrong, son of General Sam Chapman Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute, to its board of trustee Armstrong spent his boyhood on the Army, perusing and graduating from the New York Naval Academy in the class of 1915. He is a member of the New York Stock Exchange. No Colored President Dr. R. R. Moton, only colored trustees, will be absent from the session. Unofficial statements current here quote trustees as declaring that they are not president of a colored president of Hampelph. Smoking Problem One of the first problems of the new president's is to decide where, when, and why he may smoke. The Script, official cigarette paper, commenting on the fact that smoking has been forbidden not only to girls but also to boys, says: "We have suggestions that smoking be permitted on the campus, or building on the campus, or that a room on each floor of every dormitory be devoted to smoking are plans to no doubt, by students willing to no doubt, to circumcise students. Such a privilege could hardly be called a privilege. A privilege is, indeed, something to be enjoyed." Suppose the privilege of eating candy meant that if one desired to munch a Baby Ruth while studying he would be compelled to slip on his coat, leave the dorm, and walk across the campus to eat! What a privilege it would be! The loss of time, and the interruption to study would be incalculated to the satisfaction derived from such artificial method would be negligible. In Rooms "The most feasible of all the plans seems that of permitting smoking in individual rooms, the Y.M.C.A. lounges, the smoking from the dormitories as a measure to preclude any possibility of increased insurance rates is, as as we have ascertained, groundless. "There would, of course, be restrictions easily enforced by a No Smoking plan, the expedition of littering up the ceilings with cigaret stubs; but we believe not only should smoking be granted, it should be permitted in individual rooms, the 'Y', and off campus."

ASPIRIN Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of Monoaceticacidester of Salicylicacid The following affidavit which was sent the AFRO nearly three years ago, was introduced this week as evidence in the sensational Curtis case now going on, by the attorney for the Curties. (A Statement by Miss Eva Flitzughh) Sometimes ago when Dr. Arthur L. Curtsie swore out a warrant for my arrest on a charge of "Threats" I promised the public that I would, in due time, issue a full and complete statement. I knew that in the light of things I would have my day to spend, and so it is at this moment that I speak the truth without fear or fear. To begin, I have sued Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Curtis for $40,000 on a charge of assault and battery through my attorneys Lambert, Yealman and Health Improvement Dr. Curtis first came into my life about a year ago when he called at my home to treat me professionally. Through his warmth and his confidence, avowing that there was nothing personal in his suggestions, advances and actions, but that he cared for me and that he cared for my health. When I spoke of his wife he declared that he was planning to divorce her because of her own problems. As a helper to Helen Gordon. As a consequence of my relations with Dr. Curtis I was finally forced to undergo a serious and humiliating operation. At first I was not sure what operation and did so only after his father Dr. A. M. Curtis prevailed upon me to do so. The operation was performed by both father and son at their 17th St. san- Outside Girl When Dr. A. M. Curtis first called to see me concerning my condition he expressed great surprise as I folded the facts and that I had not have been quite so surprised had the matter concerned either of his other two sons. He said further that he had known that he knew how to treat her and that he never would have treated her as Arthur had treated me. Dr. A. M. Curtis also explained to me that he had been told to his telephone and that when he talked with his girl over the phone one no one could as much as listen-in on the conversation. Before leaving Dr. Curtis's statement that if I allowed it to get out that he would declare that I am crazy and that no one would pay any attention to me. Shortly after the operation Dr. Curtis grew indifferent in his attentions towards me and I began, for the first time, to suspect that he was deceiving me. I learned too that he was often seen with his wife after he had told me that he was through with her. Realizing that I had been caught in a double-crossed I did not fail to keep my anger from Dr. Curtis for it was now quite apparent that he wanted to rid himself of me. The First Stone On May 8th, last, he sent a taxi cab to my home requesting that I call at his office at once. When appeared he introduced me, his introduction the introduction Mrs. Curtis began to assault me, scratching, fighting and tearing my clothing. Her husband held me during a swore on me, warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Curtis charging her with assault. This of course, is a matter of Police record. I immediately called Mrs. Curtis and had done and begged me so strongly to withdraw the warrant that I allowed myself to be persuaded, largely too because I did not want the matter aired in court. But I first stone, presumably to make it appear as if I am crazy or that I was first at fault. I have decided to let all the facts be known. Dr. Curtis agreed to pay and did pay for the destruction of my clothing. Pretending After my arrest I told several of my friends all of the facts concerning my relations with Dr. Curtis and it seemed seemingly his ears. I asked Attorney Charles Houston called to see me to ask about the matter, pretending that he was in sympathy with me. I told him of the facts and expressed my feeling freely towards Dr. Curtis. later learned that the part of a spy Houston had worked that was working in the interest of Dr. Curtis. With the apparent intention of intimidating me Dr. Curtis swore out a warrant against me on a charge of "Threats." This was on or about July 8th. For me, declaring that he wanted to talk with me like a man and to straighten out matters, I went to see what he might have to say and as soon as I entered his office he began to beat and kick me brutally after which he called the police to serve the warrant which he had Talked too Freely It is a fact that I have also sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Curtis on the more serious charge. This warrant is issued by the police. However, I made the mistake of talking perhaps too freely to Mr. Houston and as a consequence Dr. Curtis learned of my plans to make a request to the office to locate the chief witness in this case. I have reference to the nurse who was present at the operation. But somehow and in spite of the acknowledgment of my request, the nurse is being used by Dr. Curtis and his father. I feel that he will be brought to justice eventually. Money and influence can't keep us, a rascal out of the clutcher's law forever. AFFIDAVIT. I do solemnly swear that the above statement is correct and true in every particular. EVA FITZHUGH. I received this 3rd day of November,1927. SAMUEL E. LACY, Notary Public.

STUDENTS TABOO Invitations Confidential Expenses Paid. WASHINGTON. (CNS)—Not a single representative of the colored press was invited to meet General Jan Christian Smut, former premier of South Africa or to hear him discuss the race problem in South Africa with twenty-five race leaders who outlined the program of the American Negro at Howard University, last Wednesday. Three white newspapers were present, however. The apparent discrimination against representatives of the Negro press by their exclusion from the conference has been the cause of every comment here. Everyone of the conference themselves exaggerated that both groups of correspondents could not have been provided for on an equal basis. Despite the fact that local press correspondents of Negro weeklies, even an hour or two before the conference, or two hours before the important meeting as all or were informed that the conference would be restricted to members only, three representatives of white dales were assigned by paper men. They present and were admitted to be general Smuts speak. Stokes-Johnson The conference was arranged by the Rev. Anson Philips-Stokes of the Philips-Stokes fund and Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, president of Howard University. It seems to have been claired in the greatest secrecy from the very beginning, as Dr. as the Neeson Press. A past news of the proposed conference came from Dr. Robert Russo, Md., of Tuskegee in an interview following the "jackass" episode in New York City. Later, the Howard engagement was announced as a part of the official schedule of General Assembly meetings. It is reported, onealed a list of the persons invited to attend marked "confidential." All expenses of the delegates were paid. Speech Deleted When the department of public information of the university, the sole source of information concerning Howard University which is open to the Negro press, released the news five days later, even those portions of the speech of the former premier which had attracted the attention of and had been quoted in, the white dollars were omitted from the release. Students Also Taboo The traditional custom of having prominent people appear before the student body was not carried out in this instance. The students themselves are of the opinion that the recent incident in which students questioned the patronizing philosophy of the Southern ex-overseer to his disfurence, is responsible for his hear or see Genet's signals, whose words are speech, New York, aroused the irate of many more mature and far less radical. Whites Admitted Dr. Johnson, Friday, stated that the original plan had been to exclude all members of the press. This was gone, he said as far as the "conference itself went". He explained that the white representatives of local dailies were admitted to hear General Smuts speak only. This was done with the permission of the Reverend Phils-Stokes, he said.

The conference was a startling contradiction of that taken from other sections of the country where the I-Q of colored children was shown to be very much different from the children presented by Mr. Long, that was Negro children are isolated both socially and economically without exposure to such cultural influences as environment. This was proved by the high I Q of the Washington test where the cultural environment of the children was taken into consideration. Mr. Long concluded with a proposition that the cultural conditions will test as high as children of any other race. Alleged "Mike" Theft Case Nol Prossed WASHINGTON. — Charges of grand larceny against Thomas T. Brown, of Jersey City, N.J., and Kermit Trigg, of 1605 Fiftenth Street, northwest of New York, were not prosecuted by the Government in criminal court No. 1 last Monday. The Government gave no reason for its declaration that it would not punish the students, but it is believed that Howard University officials underwent a change of heart. The two boys, former Howard University medical student, are alleged to have stolen a $125 microscope from the university on October 1 last. It was said to have been sold to Albert V.

DEPRIEST CAUSE BLAINE BLAMES OF NATIONAL PRESIDENT FOR AWAKENING HAITIAN TROUBLE Cleveland Speech Results in Electing Member on School Board. 'PROPHET' SPEAKS Thinks Race Will Become Stronger People. KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(ANP)—The Negro is going to make greater and greater strides politically, is going to improve his social status in this country, is going to show a decline in his religious zeal and is going to be crowded farther and farther out of the economic picture. This, in brief, is the opinion of David H. Pierce, white, a member of the editorial board of the Cleveland (daily) News, who addressed the Sunday night forum of the Linwood Christian Community Church here on the topic, "The Problem of Negroes in Northern Communities." DePriest the Inspiration Oscar DePriest, Congressman from Illinois, is directly responsible for the nation-wide awakening of the Negro politically, according to Pigre. "Congressman DePriest," he said, "is a forceful, logical speaker. He is a fine looking man, whose pictures do not do him justice. He is not a great man, but he is a clever politician. More than any other man or woman, he is the one for waking up the Negro politically. "In Cleveland, we believe him to have been the greatest factor in the election of Mrs. Mary B. Martin to the school board. He delivered a speech there on the block system of registration and voting and the Negroes put it into practice at once. You may rest assured that whenever DePriest has addressed a Negro audience of any size, that audience has learned some smart politics. "Every bush is Southern politically active but politically has reacted in favor of DePriest and the race he represents. He is treated as a martyr wherever he goes." No Worse than Whites The speaker stated that his observation had been that Negro officeholders and politicians were no better and no worse than whites. "In Cleveland we found a Negro councilman guilty of bribe-taking and sentenced him to two years and nine months. A few weeks later a white councilman pleaded guilty to bribe-taking and he got five years," he said. Poverty and Crime The speaker painted a dark picture of the Negro of the future in the economic field. He said: "Labor saving devices, chain stores and chain banks are forcing him from the present. He is the last to be hired and the first to be fired. He has little buying power because he is employed in the occupations which pay the least wages. He has no business and financial structures of his own sufficient to employ even a small number of workers." "Since these same devices I have named are forcing white men out of work, it will be seen that the Negro, always last to be considered, is in for a dark future. I look for a permanent unemployed class among Negroes, higher death rates, greater crime, and greater social depend- No Solution In the question and answer period, the speaker stated that he had no solution for the economic problem of the Negro. He said the effort being made to get them employment in proportion to their spending power would work only where low-priced stores had competition in Negro districts. "If the prices are low and there is no competition, the stores will not have to hire Negroes and they won't," he declared. He scored the labelling of Negroes in crime stories and said the Cleveland dalles did not designate Negro criminals. Mr. Pierce is the vice-president of the N.A.A.C.P. In concluding, he advised every white person, especially those in public life, to read some Negro paper every week, stating that it would broaden his or her cultural outlook DR.

NO COMMISSION Hoover Knows Enough Now, He Says. WASHINGTON. — That President Hoover is to blame for trouble in Haiti, was the accusation made by Senator John F. B. Flaine (Rep., Wis.), when the resolution for the proposed commission came up in the Senate, Tuesday. The resolution, which had been adopted by the House, was completely rewritten by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and reported favors heavily on its cover on collection by Senator Blaine. That the President did not need a special commission was the contention of Senator Blaine. "Of course," he said, "the President can appoint an agent to help the job of the government. Congress cannot object. But it does not follow that Congress should make an appropriation every time the President wants to appoint an agent or a commission to tell him what to do. It does not assume that he has some intelligence himself." The Senator declares that the President had General Russell and other agents who ought to appoint him what he wants to know about that country. Carpetbaggers "It does not take long to determine what is the matter with Hali!" declared the Senator. "The trouble in Hali! is that there are a lot of carpattaggers there who are living upon the toll and misery of the Haitian people." Senator Blaine pointed out that men like Dr. Freeman, white, who is at the head of the Technique Institute and who draws a handsome salary out of the treasury of the country, and maintains himself as a sort of king in a foreign land and is hated by the Haitian people as he ought to be hated. "It does not take long," he said, "to investigate this and the insults that American officers have given the natives down there which precipitated the recent trouble. It would not take much more effort to carpetattaggers are spending practically the entire income of the Haitian government to build highways across the country in order that a few American naval and military ships might be built in which to drive their high-powered cars. Must Take to Gutters . "I myself observed a highway in that little Republic, a wayward one, that runs in seven thousand feet high, the like of which is found only in the Rocky Mountain region of our own country, the $25,000 a mile. Yet in Haiti the natives either go on foot or ride on burros, the native transportation, or they walk in the eradication of disease in the interior. Those people are not prepared for that type of highway any more than we have such highways, hundred years ago. "As a result, the natives bringing 50 or 60 cents' worth of produce to the market, the centers of Haiti are driven off the highways; they must take to the gutters along the roads." N.Y.

Where supervisors feel that the census is not expected it is expected that the advisor may render service in recommending the most competent men and women to serve as enumerators.

(CNS)—Will Virginia adopt legislation which makes white persons with one drop of Negro blood "colored," white persons with one-sixteenth Indian blood "white," and Negroes with one-fourth Indian blood "Indians"? "This is the situation which faces the state senate of Virginia, with the introductions of a fourth racial integrity bill in the state senate by Senators Montague and Wickham. It amends the code to provide that "the intermarriage of American Indian white persons is hereby prohibited." One-fourth Makes Indians Senator Montague explained that under this amendment an Indian would be deemed to be any one with one-fourth or more Indian blood, this being the definition contained in Section 787 of the code. One Drop Bill This conflicts with the Bill ball introduced early in the session with a drop of Negro blood as a "colored" person.ants Indians Labeled Colored Powell, white, Richmond pianist, and other Ball backers, contend that virtually all of the Virginia Indians have an ascertainable trace of Negro blood and hence are "colored" persons rather than In- "I am in favor of the Bill bill because it would prevent Negroids from attending white schools," said Powell, a Baptist pastor. The bills would be bitterly fought at the hearings, it is understood. The executive committee of the Dover Baptist Association, white, is prepared to oppose a Negro bill of persons in whose veins flow an "ascertainable amount of Negro blood," it was announced by the Clark council, clerk of the committee. "We are fighting to keep the Indians from being robbed of their classification as Indians," Mr. Clark School Problem "We are opposed to the classification of Indians as Negroes," he said. "As to the school problem, we believe in leaving that up to the local communities." Recent racial integrity bill in Virginia provides that: "The term 'white persons' shall apply only to those person who have no trace, whatsoever, other than Caucasian; but persons who have one-sixteenth African Indian and have no other non-Caucasian blood shall be deemed to be white persons." The bill defining as "colored" any person with one drop of colored blood would make a person of African Indian and 20,000 persons now regarded as white people, in Virginia.

(ANP) — "When we solve our bread-and-butter problem, we shall have fewer problems of housing and health." In such words, Albon Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, addressed delegates to the National Negro Labor Conference, held under the auspices of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Tuesday night. "Although, according to the Crisis," continued the Business League secretary, "there are more than 19,000 Negro boys and girls in our colleges, there are practical jobs in the white-collar industry, our people except those created by themselves, and there is only one such job for every forty educated Negroes." 128 Stores Organized For more than a year Mr. Holsey has been engaged in organizing Negro grocers into what is known as the Colored Merchants' Association. One hundred twenty-eight of these merchants are now organized in six cities. He chose the motive in the organization of these men as the one which should impel Negroes to move in such a direction to obtain relief from their economic perplexities, if from their own hands, which the Negro has and which has not been used as widely as possible, he declared, is the Negro's buying power. The Business League, he asserted, had made a careful analysis of the Negro's buying power in order to determine the employment quota to which it entitled him. Once that is found, the object would be to obtain that quota or its equivalent. The first step was to make a survey of Negro business and then to organize Negro business in such a manner that the Negro would profit from his own business. 474.787 Jobs Due One reason for selecting the grocery business was because the Negro's annual food bill is one billion, six hundred fifty million dollars, or 470,872 positions. These are jobs now not held by Negroes to which he is justly entitled because of the money he spends with grocers. Such campaigns as that being carried on with Negro Whip to compete on which live off Negro patronage to employ Negroes is a big step in the direction of making the Ne- CHANNING TOBIAS senior secretary in the colored work department of the National Y.M.C.A. who will celebrate his 48th birthday, Saturday, February 1.

Too Much for Churches and Lodges "Anothe. handicap from within which requires our thoughtful attention is the tendency to distribute our racial income upon a basis which is economically unsound." declared Mr. Holser. "We entertain lavishly; we save a smaller percentage of our incomes than other groups; and we put too much, according to income, into churches and lodge parades. Charles E. Hall, statistician in the Census Bureau, writing in the North American Review for many calls to us that there is an average of 261 members to each white church, but among the colored brethren there is a church edifice for every group of 122 members. This fact appears to suggest that the race is over-churched and that at least one-third of the nearly $205,000,000 so invested could be more effective enterprises that would afford employment for some of the thousands of young colored men and women who frequently experience great difficulty in attaching themselves to a permanent payroll. Through the years, the fact has been believed that this piling up of frozen assets will soon be discontinued. Praise for Churches, Slaps for Schools. WASHINGTON, D.C.—"Everything the Negro has gotten, he has gotten out of the church, the only institution which he controls," Carter G. Woodson told the Times on Monday if last week. A graduate of Harvard and the University of Chicago, himself although he did his undergraduate work at Berea College, in Kentucky, Mr. Woodson declared that white colleges made the colostate service for the highest service to his own race.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—African Methodist officials in the Nashville area, comprising the Tennessee Annual Conference in the Church, have joined to entertain annual conferences free of charge. Layman point out that in this day, of the high cost of living, and oppressive taxations levied by church officials, the people are unwilling and unable to be burdened with the cost of feeding and housing for a week over one hundred people absolutely. They claim that other organizations defy the expenses of their delegates; and that few congregations have memberships large enough and financially able to make such a sacrifice when moneys in the Conference treasury fail to defray the expenses of such meetings.

A White Pastor Speak.s The Rev. A. M. Pierce, white, editor of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate, of Atlanta, Ga., writing on "Our Christian Obligation to the segro. recently," he wrote of the狱后 Cooperation, declared: "The railroad issue is still very much alive.

In the case the heides must be as good in every respect as that in which brother rides." Race Relations Sunday. Sunday, February 9 is Race Relation Sunday.

Thirkeld, white the M.E. Church, a former president of St. Mark's M.E. Church, New York City, recently. Bishop Thirkeld said that nothing amazed him so much that the church welcomes citizen citizens who wait until they become naturalized before debating on "what shall be done with the Negro?" Old Time Religion Such hymns as "Nearer, My God to Thee," "Rocks of Ages," and "Jesus Lover of My Soul," which have opened and closed many travel services, are known for their travel songs were termed "sickly sentimentalism," by the Rev. Selden P. Delaney, white, rector of the Episcopal Church, of St. Mary the Virgin speaking recently. He conceived by saying, "Ninety-nine out of 100 people do not mean anything by the words they roar lustily. Such sentimentalism is driving people from the church." Dr. Charles D. Trexler, white, pastor of St. James Lutheran Church, agreed declaring that "Onward Christian Soldiers" meant to present the Christian message, be the modern Christian soldier is merely dragging languish along."

Church, N.C., and the African Orthodox Church that it will accomplish a much better work if it will tend "strictly to its own business" and cease insinuating that Negro priests of the church this church of their choice and come to them. By way of reply, Bishop George A. McGuire, primate of the African Orthodox group, declares that the Braggs have been the first to publish *Feb. 1929*, in his own paper, "The Church Advocate," on segregation and referred to the African Orthodox Church, and in December, 1920, had written a letter to the Church, a church publication concerning the Orthodox Church.

Only Catholics, Jews Do Welfare Work Ashamed to be Protestant, Says Cleveland juvenile Court Official BY TRELMIA TOUJIE TAYLOR CLEVELAND, Ohio—A startling disclosure was made Sunday afternoon at the St. James A.M.E. Forum when Dr. Eleanor Vernbridge, a city said the colored girl in the Juvenile Court was without friends. Dr. Wernbridge declared that of the other groups coming before her the colored girl is not by representatives of neighborhood organizations. The colored girl was accompanied only by her mother, which is a requirement of law. Foreign Catholic homes or from Jewish communities but the Negro girl is rarely ever a Catholic. Thus two of the most potent agencies are colored girls. Most impossible for the colored girl in the Juvenile Court. She cited several examples showing her difficulty in getting clothing and shoes for colored girls. "At times I most need a shirt for such a girl. Sometimes I am almost ashamed that I am a Protestant." Fifty per cent of the cases brought to court, but this does not mean she added that the colored girls are any worse — "in fact they are as well as the white girls, particularly easy to work with because their viewpoint is essentially the same as mine. They have the same American backstory and attitude towards family obligations." IN D.C. CHURCHES D C CHURCHES 18 point chenthemam METROPOLITAN BAPTIST E. Smith, prescheduled on "The New Life."

URGES MEN TO TEACH VOLSTEAD ACT GET ADOLESCENT BOYS MINISTER'S APPROV OFFERS a complete Master Course -Correspondence and Resident, in Diagnosis in Scalp Disease and Treatment, Sterilization, Fumigation, Hair and Skin Structure, Waving, Marcellin and Manicuring. Become Effeminate Under Females, Training School Head Tells Alliances. MINISTERS RAPPED Interracial Group Discusses Juvenile Delinquency. "An adolescent boy needs a strong moral man as a teacher. If he does not have this type of teacher he will develop into an effeminate youth," declared H. A. Donnell, white, of the Maryland Training School in an address at the joint meeting of the white and colored Interdenominational Alliances, Monday. In the discussion on the subject, "The Church and the Delinquent Youth," Mr. Donnell further stated that the principle of the child labor law which provides that no child shall work before reaching the age of 18 is wrong. "If you want until a child is 18 before he is taught to teach, he will not be any good," he said. "The criminal court is concerned only with the question of whether or not an accused person is guilty. The work of the juvenile court is more extensive. It seeks, through investigation of the family, the school and other records, to readjust the youthful offender," said Judge J. S. Waxter of the Juvenile court to cloos conditions in the Maryland penal institutions where race youth are confined was stressed by the of- Delinquency Increasing The Rev. E. W. White, pastor of the Provident Baptist Church, was the first speaker on the joint Alliance program. He spoke on the obligations of the church in regard to young people. "The increase in juvenile delinquency is alarming," said the Rev. Mr. White. "This increase in delinquency is attributable to the laxity of parents in dealing with the abuse of whiskey. A fuller co-operation on the part of the churches in the enforcement of prohibition is needed. The evil effects of alcohol and home brew should be emphasized," he said. Blame parents Relative laxity of the parents, the Rev. Mr. White said. "A new social order has been ushered in by the advent of the automobile, the radio, the movies and the large apartment. We have not fully recognized this new situation and have not found a way to cope with this new psychology. We have not found the rearing of children. This must come from a sincere, earnest pulpit, accompanied with the power of the Holy Spirit." We have continued, "and the public school teachers should cooperate more. The teacher should know more about what the church is doing about the schools. Ministers Hit "There is practically no co-operation between the juvenile probation officer and the ministry. The court is not involved in it, as the church, is to save the youth. Every church should have city missionaries and welfare workers who would answer any case of delinquency and discover such cases before the courts." Cordiality and an apparent desire to co-operate in the common duty of siding humanity characteristically in the Franklin Street Presbyterian Church. The hearty hand clasps and the friendly nods nodded the more than one hundred race ministers and visitors created a sentiment between the two bodies that will greatly spread the influence of the church in the com- Urge Unification A vote of thanks was extended the three speakers by the body.

Hosley VOLSTEAD ACT GETS MINISTER'S APPROV Nothing Wrong with Pro bition, Says Dr. Eng. Enforcement Needed. DR. STEPTEAU DISAGREE s Those Who Wish Dram Should be Able to Get it There is nothing wrong with prohibition, said the Rev. W. A. Engle, pastor of the Sharp Street M Church, this week, in answer to the query, "If the country is given as other opportunity to vote for against the Volsted Act, how would it" The arable exists in the fact that prohibition hasn't been given play. If there were more law enforcement on one hand and more respect on the other, prohibition would be something of a success, would vote for the Volsted act day. If it hasn't done anything it has banished the corner saloon which were disgraceful to the community." The people that protest most against it are those who have lived under the conditions that have effected before prohibition," said Rev. Mr. English. "Personal Liberty" Rot The claim that prohibition infuriated upon personal liberty was "tort" by the Rev. C. Y. Trigs, part of the Metropolitan M.E. church, who said every time it came before the trial, said the Rev. Mr. Trigs, "I renounce prohibition, I reuote Christianity. Personal liberty is the right to a hog in my back yard? That a hog in my back yard and I should be able to do it please in it. But the hog is offended to the neighbors. Since I am a hog, I like the thing means the greatest good for the greatest number. Wants Modification "I would vote for modification of the Volstead act. However, I do not favor the return of the satire, satire," he said. "I would vote for the Bethel A.M.E. Church, in an interview, 'I don't drink much, but if the other fellow wants a life of personal freedom, 'Personally I would vote to sustain the Volstead act,' said the Rev. J. Abrams Hayward, assistant pastor of Provident Baptist Church, in a letter to the people would vote against it if given a second chance." D.C. Mass Meeting to be Held Ten Days.

Miss Norton's testimony that her friendship with the racketeer was a case pure love and affection. The point she said, was given her by Rothstein because her wanted her to benefit from knowing and being loved by him. Witnesses testified that they had seen the gambler give her the policy although she was not named in it as beneficiary. Mr. M. Cloud, white, insurance agent, testified that he advised Rothstein to give Miss Rothstein the possession of the policy which he did. The strongest witness for the administration of the estate was Thomas Pineau, elderly valet to the white Pineau, grad-haired, low spoken, college educated and a servant in the Rothstein household an a Confidential man to Rothstein for 20 year. Farley testified he knew all Rothstein's affairs, heart, financial and otherwise. He told the court that Rothstein was in love with his wife and not with Miss Norton. Rothstein had sent him to plead with his wife and try to get her to come back Safety Deposit Box Farley testified that Rothstein's only safe deposit box was cleverly concealed in the seat of his box, this box he kept all of his important Barley told of the existence of this date deposit box to illustrate the confidence Rothstein reposed in his wife, she said the only persons who knew of its existence and how to open it were Rothstein, his wife and himself.

Rothstein's banking, Farley testified, went or at the usual rate of $40,000 a day even at the time when the gambler failed to pay his losses in the high card games that preceded his death. After the shooting, Farley said he went to the Colonial bank with $38,000 of which $60,000 was deposited in Rothstein's name and $12,000 in the name of Mrs. Carolyn Rothstein. Barley, upon examining the notes which Langer and Rothstein signed, detected signatures forgery. The letter which accompanied the note was not in the handwriting of his former employer.

The workers, the increased number of strikers, the development of the native trade unions under the Communist influence, the joint strikes of native and white workers, the reorganization of Dingaan's Day, prove without a doubt, that we are on the verge of great national and class battles and struggles in South Africa.

Avon Tennis Club NEW YORK CITY -- A full in social activist leadership, the New York City Leafs lead season; so the clubs are very busy with activities. The Avon Tennis Club held forth at the Renaissance Casino on Tuesday last and theirs was a formal one at that. If ever a tournament was played for formats as a rule, I loved this one. And the Casino was packed—or jammed, as one would call it; beautifully decorated with rows and rows of balloons all autographed with the club's name. We squeezed and squeezed our way through the crush. Everybody we knew was there. We hailed them at once, but never could find them twice. Most of the boxes held forth in picnics—you know how jolly that can be. Half of those there couldn't remember it was a "formal" and came informal. The other half remembered and turned out in their very "bestest" best. I was invited by the club to join their box, number three, but after three crushing trips (how we were jostled!) to their box. It was empty each time. I gave it up. But they have my thanks just the same. The balloon scramble was on. We couldn't find a space to glide around in. Even the fire plug suffered from the crush, for it dropped from its lofty hanging and caused a flood. (How could it at a formal, tool) Mob at Prince Hall Club. The Prince Hall Square Club's annual dance was held Tuesday night at Rockland. What a mob! Thousands and thousands packed in the hall, and the party packed but each box and loge was a private filling station which kept the spirit of the party pitched to the ninth degree. And after all, a dance is a dance. So if the music good (and it was) what more could be done? Eggnog Pour. Evelyn Laey poured eggnog Wednesday evening for Queente Davis, of Chicago: Modersta Roqumore, of Buffalo, and the Samuel Richardsons, of New York and Paris.

However, everybody had a good Largest Interests Have Box Technique Girls. Unquestionably one of the sweltest affaits of the current social season was the formal occasion of the Renaissance Casino, Monday evening. Such wonderfully gowned ladies and such an abundance of handsome and inimaculately dressed guests. Nearly every club of our beloved Harlem was well represented, with the Fish Club pouring Swatiska and a half dozen more. The Technique Ware, a half dozen, vice president; Bertha Wade, secretary; Virginia Gitt, treasurer; Anurella Skigget, treasurer; Jackie Kirkwood—were here, there and everywhere throughout the glorious evening, making everyone acquainted and seated in a box directly under the spotlight were a party of ten guests who took this country. What an enjoyable time they seemed to be having, and strangely enough not from the usual motive "atmosphere Bernie Robinson. Artist. About nine years ago from the enchanted hills of Kentucky to the grand living room with one desire and that was to become a great artist. He lost no sight of art schools, the National Academy, and studied hard day and night to make himself.

DANGER POSSIBLE Ex-Under Secretary of State Speaks Plainly. PARIS. — American race prejudice menaces the peace of France, according to Maurice Ajam, former French under-secretary of state. In a remarkable article in La Depeche Colonie, M. Ajam, writing on the recent revolt in Haiti against white Americans, declares that it is bound to have a repercussion in the French colonies. The Monroe Doctrine, he says, gives to France no right to interfere in the affairs of the New World and hence the best thing for her to do would be to ignore "the manifestations of the black cancer in the United States, if France were not placed in the first rank of the nations for which a conflict of race would offer a vital in- French Colonies "We have colonized our Africa with much skill, with a benevolence so natural for our subjects that if we were alone in the world we would have nothing to fear from a people whose good native sense understands all the advantages of our contact." "But in the same way that atoms come to us in the New World so the Niger can use from there is capable of provoking trouble on the borders of the Niger." "Something curious, the American press, which is at last taking a keen interest in the race question, 12 attributing the agitation for justice to the ideas that the Negro soldiers brought back with them from the These people are supetuied to see the following that existed between our Senegalese sharpshooters and our white troops."

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1906) One of the best evidences of our growth and progress is shown in the very large Afro-American bank. We have bank accounts these large banks. This fact is much in evidence in the APRO-AMERICAN office. Where we formerly received our payments in cash, we supply in a form of cash or postage stamps, we receive now a large part in checks on local banks. And our country friends are not behind in this particular either. Bombers Too? Since the riotous Chicago primary election of April, 1928, in which Octavius Granady, attorney and candidate for ward committeeman, was killed, several have been indicted and brought to trial, but everybody has suspected that back of the violence was Morris Eller, white, city collector, Republican boss, and committeeman of Theodore's ward. Since the riotous Chicago primary election of April, 1928, in which Octavius Granady, attorney and candidate for ward committeeman, was killed, several have been indicted and brought to trial, but everybody has suspected that back of the violence was Morris Eller, white, city collector, Republican boss, and committeeman of the "Bloody Twentieth" ward. Recently a bomb was in the Eller home, hurting his wife and servants out of bed. The damage was estimated at $5,000. Are friends of Granady throwing bombs? Have they learned this highly specialized art so widely used by anarchists, and other extremists? One Drop of Blood What do Southern white people talk about? Well, maybe servants could tell you; but the well trained servitor permits all conversation to go in one ear and out the other. Very fair colored people can tell you and their stories are eye openers. Mrs. M. always hates to travel in the South. He has the white hotels she is sure to meet fellow travellers whose entire conversation is about "niggers." Rev. B. was a white congregational minister in Chicago. He succeeded and enjoyed his work until a white Southern girl and a meeting of the "niggers." Rev. B's defense was an epic. Now he's selling insurance. Three brothers are making good as white men in New York. One is a 510,000 official of the interurban. His son married a Georgia girl and Mr. A. at their insistence. South last year to work in the Virginia. He did not stay long. That was too much family talk about "niggers." A reader recently wrote to the AFRO that he had been white for thirty-five years and if he were to tell his wife and children about it, they wouldn't believe it. One Drop (Och) Powell, white Richmond physician, is backing the Virginia law to have legally declared to be "colored" every person with one drop of colored blood, smiles as he talks of uncovering 20,000 prominent Virginians who colored blood. The list includes government officers, senators, congressmen and what have you. You can see the evidence in the South must have been illuminating. So are the experiences of others today who have a few drops of colored blood. Will readers of the AFRO who have had experiences like those mentioned above, tell the rest of us about them. What do Southern white people talk about? Well, maybe servants could tell you; but the well trained servitor permits all conversation to go in one ear and out the other.

On the trains and in the white hotels she is sure to make travelers whose entire conversations about "nuggets." Rev. B. was a white congregational minister in Chicago.

Will readers of the AFRO have had experiences like those mentioned above, tell the story. Hoover's Hand Even if the Senate eventually passes the Hoover resolution authorizing $50,000 for a Hawaiian commission, it has hard to count the number of people Mr. Hoover has allotted information about Haiti already and is responsible for what Senator Blaine (Rep. Wis.) calls the white U.S. "carpet baggers" on the island. Even if the Senate eventually passes the Hoover resolution authorizing $50,000 for a Haitian commission, it hasn't failed to tell the country that it believes that Mr. Hoover has all needed information about Haiti already and is responsible for what Senator Blaine (Rep., Wis.) calls the white U.S. "carpet baggers" on the Senator King (Dem, Utah) is another stalwart who for nearly a decade has been urging our country to bring its milites home and to substitute a civil for a military government in Haiti. President Haitian and Democrats alike condemn the President's Haitian policy, altho it has the support of Congressman Oscar DePriest (Rep, Ill). Read (in another column) Senator Blaine's vivid picture of our country building in and across Haiti and $180,000 a mile to the successors' autos, while Haitians who no autos have still greater need of schools and hospitals. Many who praised the generous Hoover hand feeding the starving Belgians during the World War, did not know that out of the exploited blacks had wring their hands out of the exploited blacks from Africa, nor could they envision that same hand at the throat of Haiti slowly choking it to death. Bootleg Marriages Gloomy Dr. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, last week, painted a sad picture of what will happen if Congress shall pass a nation-wide marriage bill. A measure similar to the one proposed by Senator Capper (Rep. Kan.) passed the House some years ago and proclaimed black-white marriages. The United States ten years ago passed the prohibition law, which instead of banishing liquor, has made it a profitable business for bootleggers, rum runners, and a smart vogue for women. Congress can pass, a law tomorrow declaring that only white folks shall eat beef. Thousands of Negroes and white folks would immediately purchase beef to eat it and determine what virginity would be required. The Congress surround it with special legislation. The average Negro and the average white person marry within their races. Laws in twenty-nine states have not stopped interbreeding in white people, and blacks marry in other states. In Brazil, where there is no color line, black-white marriages are comparatively few. Emphasis there is placed on worth progress, education, efficiency, patriotism—worse than blacks. One no interested in making and keeping marriage a serious but natural and permanent union founded on affection ought to be willing to place it in a position where it can be bootlegged or be locked up for rich excrement-taking young people. There is enough lawlessness in the nation at present to permit intermarriage law which will be sure to add to it. Even Senator Blease (Dem. S.C.) with all his abilities cannot shoulder that responsibility. Readers may write on any subject they like. Usually 150 words are enough. Beyond that expect the reader to write a poem, a short story, or writing an exact man. Sign name as evidence of good faith. It will not be published if you so desire.

Instead of being as patient as a jackass, let us do more like the lute, and use more serious sense of humor. In a few years ago, we would have fared better in Africa and in America. We have been as mute as the ass, except a few like Cudjoe, Denmark Vesey and Nat Turner, insurrectionists. We need more leaders like Sojourner Truth, and Frederick Lee. We must get out of the jackastical mood. The white man has been riding on our backs for 245 years in America, and we just go along patiently. We are using eye contact with the patient. We are using knocks and less praise. If our forefathers had exercised more horse sense and mule philosophy, Negroes would have had the richest empire in the world, with gold and diamonds in Africa, while we like patient jacks, are waiting for something to turn up. General Smuts know what we have done and what we have failed to do. We know what we are asking the doctor to tell us, we are as patient as the jackass. ARTHUR J. SMITH, Washigton, D.C. Where Are Our Women's Class? Reader Brown's Into Action If the Women Through Organized Leadership Will Express Themselves to the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City. To the Editor: The editor has found "gulity" of attacking women on circumstantial evidence to suffer the full penalty of the law, while fathers who show up to the court to seek justice for their homes, be allowed to demoralize their girls and get a few years? Is it because a colored girl's morals are so of us, the worst is the father who seduces his own child. It is almost unbelievable, and that a jury, judge, district attorney or any group of officers in power show up to the court to come into a community again is more so. A short time ago a father took his fifteen-year-old wife on circumstantial evidence to sent prison for a few years. Now here comes another case — a father who, after abusing his fourteen-year-old daughter, attacks his wife. Would I had a hundred lives to give, suggests to us that "would such a brute had a thousand lives for as many gallows to bear that such mortals can be made an example of? Some way that they could be forever kept out of our minds?" Cannot we successfully protect and have released innocent persons, use the strength to protect the morals of our youth? Something should and must be done to impair them, we can do anything to safeguard our youth. We can do but little with such environment, but do and let with such environment in this and all like cases which follow. Let every church, voice, demand the full penalty for such a crime. AVONIA D.

In a recent release of the Negro press, I read in the President Hoover's attitude toward the delegation sponsoring the Negro Memorial Project. According to the account, the President seemed out in very harsh solemnity: "That is a matter for congress, and so it was." Again the chief executive of the organization, by refusing to have his picture taken with them, this last seeming offense against rules of executive courtesy, according to the account, moved his sensitive souls more than anything else. Placing myself in President Hoover's position, in both national and international affairs, I am of the opinion that the President showed rare patience in allowing himself to be interrupted by the delegation with such a trivial and foolish proposition. Had these worthy folk composing the delegation written that they would have seen that their proposition was a legislative and not an executive matter.

To the Editor: I will refuse the statement made in one of your recent editorials, avowing that there are too many churches among our people. There can never be too many churches. If there would be a blessing. As a matter of fact, there President Hover recently advocated having more and better jails built. Now the problem is not that the jails should be churches too too few competent ministers of the gospel to head them. The colleges, universities and seminaries do not turn out enough young men to fill jails. The fear should be rightly placed, in there being too many churches, but in there being too few competent presidents.

BETTY ESTHER PARHAM Tuberculosis in Chester and Delaware County. To the Editor. The Delaware County Turbulence Association conditions among colored people in Chester, Pa. and New York. The Delaware County Tuberculosis Association submits here some case reports of people infected in Chester, Pa., and in Delaware County as follows. In 1928 there were 33 colored two died from tuberculosis in Chester, and 10 of these were in Chester and 14 were in other parts of the county. In 1927 there were 26 deaths amene colored, half of which were in Chester and half of which were in other parts of the Delaware County. Of the tuberculosis cases reported in 1927, 14 were from the Negroes against, 24% of the white people. The Negro population in Chester is about 8,500 with approximately 20% of the white people. This is a very serious situation, not only from the standpoint of the colored themselves, but from that of other people in and in whose homes they work—washing clothes and dishes, ironing, nursing and playing with them. GEORGE W. BLOUNT. Field Secy, Cheyney Training School, Cheyney, Pa. In 1928 there were 33 colored who died from tuberculosis in Delaware County—15 of these were in the county and 14 were in other parts of the county. In 1927 there were 29 death among colored, 16 among white, and half of which were in other parts of the Delaware County. Of the tuberculosis cases in the county—41% of the Negroes as against 24% of the white people. The Negro population in Chester was with approx. 100,000, with about 10% in the county. This is a very serious situation, not only from the standpoint of the colored themed classes and the institutions among whom colored live, and in whose homes they work—washing clothes and dishes, ironing, nursing and playing with the children. GEORGE W. BLOUNT, Field Secy, Cheyney Training School, Cheyney, Pa. _____ The Pope and Public Schools. To the Editor: As has made a declaration against public schools, a declaration doubtless primarily directed against Mussolini in his fight with the latter, a declaration which applies in principal to America. I quote a significant sentence: "We therewith canon forbidding Catholic children to attend anti-Catholic mutual or mixed schools, by the latter being meant schools open equally to Catholics." Such a reiteration of the Catholic position is such an important onal limitation of the church and its right to control education. To emphasize it however, the school should look with approval on this enforced segregation of one group of children from the others. It should also be a discrimination of color of justice to anti-Catholicism in our politics and a discrimination against Catholic teachers. It should be bound to arise, if Catholic children must not go to public schools except by special permission, why should Catholic teachers teach in public schools? I have always believed that in our present state of society parochial schools should be permitted to teach theology, and then them would be deeply resented by a large part of our population and there is something to be said for permitting private schools to teach theology in the public schools on the ground that they make for a certain degree of freedom in education and for valuable educational experiments. The authority not alone for Roman Catholics but for all of us if the church which has been fairly treated in this matter pushes active warfare behind the walls of our great cities like New York and Boston it seizes an increasing measure of control over them. At the very least, we shall have to be on our guard against any revival of the notion that parochial schools are entitled to any share of state funds. New York City. NORMAN THOMAS. Millions for Dances, but Not a Dime for Defense, Says Schuyler, Commenting on the $68,000 Buddha of A.C.F. last year. To the Editor: Whatever one may think of the Jews or of the movement for a Jewish Holocaust, we are impressed by the manner in which both Zionists and anti-Zionists have rallied to the support of their lately assailed party in the country. Jews bitterly opposed to the idea of Zionism have gone down in their pockets and contributed large sums for the Jewish community and the honor of the homeless. From long years of exposure to the most fanatical prejudice, the Jew has been disciplined. He is a member of the L.D.W.W. slogan well: "An injury to one is an injury to all." Because he is in America and there are exploited Jews in the country, he sits back indifferently with a mere grimness of disapproval. No, he financially supports the organizations that are fighting to maintain a program in Poland, the Jews in New York have the machinery to protest to the various European powers demanding that something be done. If it were not so serious it would be a source of great amusement to learn that Negroes in this country are the only well-organized, recognized, alert and efficient defense organization they have: the National Association for Negroes, and then have the unmilitary effort to accuse it of ineffectiveness. If our people are greatly offended at jim-crowdings, they have not shown they do not show their indignation in dollars and cents. If they greatly abhor lynching and pigeonhunting, history does not concern the American group when they have given as much as a quarter of a million dollars to put an end to it. If they have concerned over the continual efforts to restrict them to certain territories in our large cities where disease and death march in hand, it is not yet recorded where and when they have put up any real money to halt the menace. If anti-internarriage laws seem sinister legal reasons for the menace, they have put up any appreciable amount of money to get them off the law books of 99 states. If they are plenty of money for other things, but very little to support the work of the N.A.A.C. P. Mr. Negro, 1930 model says: "Millions for dances, but not a dime, that the N.A.A.C. is a perfect organization or is doing all that it could do, but it is the only thing of its kind the Negroes have, that they are intelligent Negro ought to be a member of it." SIMPLE THOUGHTS When we look down into the face of a friend that has been made still by death, our souls with wonder and amazement, cry out for an answer from that mysterious person, someone who does not end does not end.

To the Editor: RED MOVEMENT SUCCEEDS AS SOCIALISTS FAIL Communists Change Klu Klux-ers in Dixie into "Comrades" Pledged to a Square Deal for the Negro Brothers. (Michael Gold in the New Masses) The South The American Communist movement has faults. It is easy to pick these out. Any tired middle-aged sterile pessimist can always fluent reveal the strengths of creative youth who never find the enemies of Communism looking for some of the virtues of the movement. The work and the Negroes. The Communist Party has done more in this direction during the past year than the Socialists. Party ever did in 25 years Even today the Socialist Party has a segregational attitude toward the only study its recent organization work in the South. Socialists Fail The Socialists failly and opportunistically avoid any effort to unify their entire unionizing. But the Communists faced the problem squarely and boldly — almost suicidally. Communists insisted equally with the Negroes be organized in the white workers. Events justified them. The white workers, in a few months, learned the lesson of solidarity. They responded moldy when they understood them, but themselves that the segregation of Negro and white workers is one of the methods by which ex-communists gathered. I attended a session of the National Textile Workers' Union convention in Paterson last month and witnessed a significant gathering in America in the past ten years. For there was a solid block of Southern men and women, many of whom five years ago were Ku Kluxians, but who now talked in their native American idiom in social revolution. South Wake Up Southern labor has waked up. The strong, sombre giant, whom the American mob always be able to use the way the Czar used the Cossacks, has shaken off his chains of tradition. It is a historical event in the social history of America. The Knights of Labor could not do it; the IWW, the F. W. L. never tried Socialist party did not even dare try it; it was the Communist organizers who had been so strong like Indians. How thrilling to hear these Southern delegates speak! Lanky, overall, dignified, sharp, and strong like Indians in their stolony, only their eyes showing in the deep fires within one after the other, the men who are to their devotion toward the new left-wing unionism that is sweeping the Southern mill-towns, to a square deal for the Negro worker. "We need them; we can't have a union without them." How strangely words from the lips of Southerners. *Klu Klu Changed* One young Giorgian told how in his town, up to a year ago, no Negro dared walk on or sidewalks if a white man crossed. "That's all changed now, since the union's come to our town," said the delegate. "The Negroes are our union brothers." Gastonia was a new Bunker Hill in American history. And Communists in the nation have the right it is now a part of American history—it has at last struck its roots into the native soil. Negro Literature While on the subject, let us admit that we believe Carl Van Vechten wrote this night-club rounder and white literary sophisticate was one of the first to take an interest in Negro writers in this country. He has been Gin. jazz and sex-this is all that stirs him in our voices to the young Negro literatures. He is a white literate, a black literate, a Negro literary bums. So many of them are now waking their splenial talents on the gutter-life side of Harlem. What a crime against their race. This will lead the Negro nowhere. The majority of Negroes who must work so painfully in the mills, factories and farms of America now represent the Negro mass than a pawnshop represents the Jew, or an opium den the struggling Chinese nation. Negro Revolutionists I have known quite a few Negro leaders in the Negro strikes. There are deaths, nobilities and emotions in this race that are yet unexplained. Frederick Douglass will have revealed. I believe that Negro art and literature are only beginning. This can happen as a passing phase. There will be Negro Tolstovs, Gorkys and Walt Whitman. The "spirituals" have been plunged into the Negro only remaining hope. Frederick Douglass and Toussaint L'Ouverture have shown the way. Negroes are plowing into the revolution at last find his true voice. It will be no saxophone clowning, but Beethoven's majesty and Wagner's mumble as night with the vast Negro majesty and the stars burning bright for revolt.

JONES (AFRO-AMERICAN Editorial Staff) I have been to West Point. I went there with the distinct understanding, that, in view of the controversy raised by the letters of Mr. L. P. Coles — in which he pictured the institution, that of the respected and the stamth refutations made by resident West Pointers, I would be allowed to see and report conditions exactly as I found them. The following statement will concern itself only with questions raised by Mr. Coles. Other observations on the matter, and the situation there in general will be found in other columns of this paper. 1. Mr. Coles expressed grave doubts as to the truth of a published statement attributed to Cadet Parham to the effect that he had received fair treatment. Mr. Coles claimed that Parham was not free to state Parham. While the matter of Parham's treatment cannot be as accurately checked as can some of Mr. Coles's other statements, any care he gave to the conclusion, after talking to white and colored officials, civilians and enlisted men there, and noting the genius admiration in which he is held as an upstanding young man, that his matter could be no other than true. I am not permitted to quote army officials with whom I talked, but that there was a determination on the part of Mr. Coles that in direct command of affairs there — to see that Parham got a square deal. I am certain. No clearer evidence of this could be wished than the fact that some of the officers who had been warned that they should not say or do "anthing to insult the colored cadet." I know from direct information that there are cadets and officials who have expressed the hope that Parham would come back and on the other hand. I found direct evidence that there were some individual cadets and some officers, who would have carried the problem that a Negro cadet in the institution would create. Concerning some of these problems including dancing, teaching forms of theatrical work, rehearsals (explained more fully in another column), a white woman on the reservation declared that some of the most prominent women with young Parham to cooperate with young Parham in acquiring this practical instruction so emphasized at the academy, through belief that Parham, so far, official contact is concerned, received, fair treatment and that his papers were marked accurately. That is probably all a colored man need ever hope for or expect at West That Jim Crow Swimming Pool. 2. Mr. Colems that stated black cavaliers not allowed to bath in the river up there with white cavaliers and that they had to build a pool for themselves. In checking this statement I found that the order for bledining enlisted men to bathe in the Hudson had been drowned of an enlisted man; that the enlisted men had sought and received permission to bathe in a small used pool for ice cutting in the Hudson; that the official order prohibiting the cavalry or any colored men using same. I found in fact that colored men (and women) pose the same risk. The pool is unsanitary and the new cavalry pool was built by the men themselves to provide a more sanitary enlisted men have asked permission to use the colored pool now. Officers Reduced 3. Mr. Coles stated that colored cavalry officers, sent to West Point after the World War were reduced in rank and are under white officers. This is true. First Sergeant Milton T. Dean was a major in the World War and in my opinion he was the best of the Cavalry Detachment at West Point. Other officers I met there should have ranks above those they have. There were of course many whistle men ranked in rank when peace officers were making the officers at the end of the war, but it is a bizarent fact that the War Department made the reduction of rank among colored officers who whistle whites in the regular army as possible, thereby. In this connection it might be said frankly that the War Department practices gross discrimination in commissioned officer appointments. This cannot be checked, however, against West Point or officers in the cavalry detachment there. It is a matter that Negro men could straighten out at Washington. Non-Coms' Quarters. Mr. McCles stated that all of the colored sergeants live in houses where there are no electric lights nor steam heat, and that white sergeants have these modern improvements. Evidently Mr. Coles relied on the word of others for his information, and he colored or white non-commissioned officers. I did visit most of them. In all of the homes of sergeants and electric lights except in First Sergeant Dean's home, and the important fact that Mr. Coles missed in that case was that Sergeant Dean was the only one of five equipped exactly alike, and that the other houses are occupied by white non-commissioned officers. Those houses are now being wired — Sergeant Dean's, along with the other After visiting and observing houses of non-com officers of both races I marvel that life is the direct imitation to that of a house to as equipment. Some houses occupied by white officers are in much worse condition than some houses occupied by black officers, likewise, some occupied by some colored are not as good as some occupied by some whites. Master Ser. J. H. H. H. lived in one of the best equipped homes for enlisted officers on the point. For a time, I understand, he was the only enlisted officer on the point or colored, who had furniture heat. The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly # The Medical Detachment 5. Mr. Coles stated that the Medical Detachment does not have even a colored sergeant. He probably did not take the time to meet the following whom I found on active duty in the hospital for enlisted men there. Staff Sergeant Robert Thomas, chief non-comissioned officer in the dental service, who has charge of all dental appointments and keeps records of all work. No white or colored woman, man or child, can get appointment without seeing him first. Sergeant Byrd Smith, chief in the enlisted men's ward and recruiting sergeant for the post. Sergeant Samuel D. Chadman, in charge of pharmacy. Sergeant Ivan E. Graycroft, non-comissioned officer in charge of school of instruction for medical personnel. Sergeant Donal Ester, detachment clerk. I am to find that the hospital is administered from front to back door without the slightest evidence of jim crow or discrimination. In 2010 mats and female wards white and colorful side both as patients and attendants. Another statement — and it was one which I found voiced by some of the members of the detachment themselves — was to the effect that unless a private or officer belonged to the 9th Cavalry before going there, he had no chance of promotion. Expressed more specifically some cavalrymen told me, "you had to belong to the clique. How far, if at all, this is true would require more study than I could give in the time there. In checking up on the source of the present staff, however, I found the following on the Cavalry Detachment staff, seven belonged to the 9th Cavalry before going there, five to the 10th Cavalry, five to the 24th Infantry, two to the 25th Infantry. Fourth to the 26th Cavalry and five in other units than the 9th. In other words of the 28 men that far promoted to non-comissioned officers, eleven were formerly connected with the 9th Cavalry while seven have been promoted from other units. **Chips** The Proofreader Talks. Apostrophies Continued: Of the three uses of the apostrophe; namely, (1) to indicate the omission of one or more letters from a word, (2) to indicate the possessive case, and (3) to assist in forming the plural in certain cases—the first has been discontinued. The first case presents no difficulty except the difficulty of getting people to use the needed care. The person who uses the apostrophe (the apostrophe) meaning "it is" or who puts the apostrophe in, when the meaning is NOT "it is", is solidly instruction—something else is needed. The use of the apostrophe to indicate the possessive case comes difficulties. The first difficulty lies in the fact that, what is called in our grammars the "possessive case", includes a great deal more than pos- Few grammars define or discuss the matter adequately, in fact, Maxwell's grammar—quite widely used as a textbook, says merely: "The possessive case of a noun is that form of it which denotes the relation of a owner of the ship, and no further although a matter of fact, the so-called possessive case or form" denotes ownership less often than any one of several other things which it denotes. Harvey's grammar—which was widely used as a textbook in the Middle West half a century ago—has a much more comprehensive and explicit definition, to wit: "The possessive case is the use of a noun or pronoun to denote ownership, authorship, origin, or kind." Examples: Susan's books, "The Botany," the Standard "Boys" hats. Rule 3 of his Rules of Syntax is more comprehensive, though less explicit; it says: "A noun or pronoun used to limit the meaning of a noun denoting a different person or thing is in the possessive case." That is it is expressed by the possessive form for the subject, and is a comprehensive form as will be shown later. In the mean-time, those who are following these talks—if anybody is—would do well to memorize Harvey's definition, for it nearly covers the ground; bearing in mind that it is hopeless to master the use of a noun or person—without a wrong understanding of the grammatical elements involved.

Smuts 'He was Frank to State That His Meeting and Mind-rubbing with Such a Group of Afro-Americans Had Been Liberal Education to Him By KELLY MILLER General Jan Christian Smuts is touring America as an unofficial House statesman like Colin House, husband of Woodrow Wilson, his functions as ambassador to Japan without any particular assignment. Like all of the World War statesman, he has suffered political defeat for most of his career, the most difficult mind in the world to attain in public affairs today. As General, it required twenty times his own number of English soldiers to subdue him. Being subdued, he became a member of the British Empire. He suggested federation of the British Colonies into a sort of spiritual union. The League of Nations and mandate over the weaker breeds of men are the children of his fertile brain. His traditional policy in dealing with the natives of South Africa has been described as ruthless persecution, but now famous Oxford lecture deals with the future of the African native on his own heath. The sum and substance of his policy is that natives must be regically segregated and encouraged, the white man's tutelage, to develop his peculiar gifts and quality, which are essentially different from the native and ideals of the lordy European. How this can be done without exploit the poor native into hopeless impotence, General Smuts does not engage in abolition. The one reedemption, this is according to Smuts is that it does make some sort of sinister recognition of the human nature of the African aborigines, instead of regarding them as a natural feature of this power, domination and glory to the white lords of the earth. One might be disposed to wonder why this erstwhile ruthless and reckless statesman in so far as the black world is concerned, has so suddenly come to the So. African who, until now, has never risen to the level of his august statesmanlike regards. The answer is easy to read by those who can discern the signs of the times. British empire is in serious straits which threaten its continuance. India is in the throes of a peaceful revolution under the moral leadership of Gandhi. Egypt has broken away. The South African native is restless. Battlefield no longer exists. India is threatened with disintegration. The great experiment in Russia makes the working world uneasy. The salvation of the British empire depends upon making peace with the darker and weaker bodies of men as well as the more powerful, mighty overcrowds of the earth. And the general Smults, the keens and most alert mind of them all, know about the world seeking to discover whether there is any means unheaven whereby the British empire And so the great general and statesman deigns to discuss the case question in the United States. His first attempt was to unite the sensibilities of his Afro-American hearers. Even the moderate tempered Dr. Motton expresses regret at his yoking of the young African-American, challenged him to a joint debate. The Negro press stigmatized him throughout Afro-Americanism. Leaving New York, the General accepted the capstone of Negro education, to hold a conference. A carefully selected group of the Negro intelligentsia as well as a number of distinguished women and men invited to the conference. The Phelps-Stokes Foundation was the host. The conference covered two hours and a half. Eight colored men and women had their addresses addressed. At the end of each address the General interposed sagacious and skillful queries which evinced keen local knowledge well as a world-wide background. After the whole field had been canvassed, the statesman general responded in a thirty minute summary which convinced all that they were listening to a master mind. There was none of the offensive comparisons complained of at the New York gathering. He showed a courtesy, a gentleness of temper, a sincere desire to seek a way out of the racial labyrinth where all are still groping in darkness. He was frank to state that his meeting and mind-rubbing with such a group of Afro-Americans had been a liberal education to him. There was no comparison, in his mind, between the Afro-American and the South African native. The one had become Americanized while the other adhered to his ancestral ways. Preaches Justice The General's final word was that justice and patience were our main reliance in finding the way out. He made an admirable impression present. Dr. Motton who summed up the experience showed his good balance and calm. Space will not permit me to give the names of the thirty persons participating in the conference. doubt whether the group could be duplicated either within the race or among the true blue while philanthropists who befriended us. All the conferences greatly impressed with the feeling that General Smuts statesman, trying the best he knows how to promote peace on earth and good will among men.

PHILLY PEN POINTS I have been in the courtrooms "tuning in" on cases conducted by such distinguished attorneys as Raymond Pace Alexander, Robert N. C. Nix, Henry P. Cheetham, Saw Also, Attorneys Mercer Lewis, J. Austin, Norris and St. John, as a matter of interest. Afterward, aloud listening to Mr. Nix berate "our people" for our lack of confidence in "our own." One woman, it seems, had taken her one thousand dollar case to a white lawyer. It wasn't understand, for any personal reasons on his part, that Mr. Nix was contending, but "just on general philosophy." And he's perfectly correct. With the brains and aggressiveness embodied in our own practitioners, and the respect and recognition accorded each of them by the court, it is becoming nothing short of an effort to see that the services of "outsiders". However, the other is compared there, I wouldn't be half bad, because we would soon become educated up to the point where we would consider it the most self-respecting thing to do. But it's the class intelligentsia itself, who consciously, or sub-consciously foster this attitude. I happen to have a more reliable and magnificent contempt for our newspapers. Another young woman made the remark that she "wouldn't send a dog to our hospital!" All of which is merely indicative of the fact that we must be trained to an appreciation of the efforts of our own, which in many times instances are on a par with that of the "swim in whites," and in many cases surpass them. we do stand to reason, that if, as a group, we wish to be a recognized factor in the economy, we should be capped up to "what it's all about," then gain economic independence. And how in Heaven are we supposed to be capped up, which in the final analysis makes the background in this materialistic age, if we're going to turn all of our earnings into money guarded by the "Mr. White?" you ask.

And those who had sacrificed themselves for reimbursement, but better still, a position in City Hall to the really capable. Then came the grand opening! "Sierling," of Sheriff's Office, we have made an appointment. "It's a swell job, and I'm going to move." Moore, 1243 N 11th Street, is ticket to death with it. It pays $1500 a year. Up to the point, he had courteously replied, playing around the corps of my mouth. But when I finally asked quizzically: "And the position is?" (No use. I was unaware when seemed so utterly confounded. So smile.) "Er-r, well, it's listed on the payroll as fanitress—but say—it's a swell job." "Oh, ye-esh? I imagine so." "Oh, I know Lenz Trent Gordon is back of this! She can't get no job herself!" (Apparently my attitude had exasperated the poor man, and he has his head flatly, and said a job in those few words, so still smiling, I silently withdraw.) And now it is to laugh! Not at that man, particularly. Nor any one person especially, but rather at ourselves here in Philadelphia. There's City Hall, and here are we. Campaigns come and hand palings but we—?

RECORD Every Negro who comes to New York City gets acquainted with "the Colored Women's Branch." The 137th Street Branch Y.W.C.A. It is the place where they get more of the food for less money than anywhere use in the vast city. But does the casual visitor realize the vast extent of the various kinds of service rendered by the institution? Take the "cafeteria" alone: in 1929 they served over 200,000 meals, on an average of 40 cents. That means that the service alone must be more than 890,000. "Emma Ranson House," the dormitory end of the branch, is the best home for young women, especially for transients, in the city. There are: a soft drink stand in the main office building; an employment agency; an information bureau; roms for club dinners; assorted room; an educational department; with beautiful dresses and other穿 apparel are made. The total income of this institution for the last year was over $180,000. Of this amount the "community of Harlem" gave in its patronage over $169,000 and about $6,000 more in donations—making the total from the Harlem people about $175,000. That means that less than $6,000 came from the "central Y.W.C.A." downtown—less than $6,000 out of $180,638.15 came from "the white folks." It is remarkable that this institution raised all of its huge budget except about $11,000 through its "service" of its patrons—and that this $11,000 was given by these same patrons in donations to make up the deficit for the institution. This is a vast service conducted entirely by colored women, with a most efficient secretary, Mrs. Saunders, at their head.

SISTER ILLEGITIMATE, SAYS BANKS, JR. Pastor's Son, Cut off with $50, Contests Will and Claims Father was Influenced. CASE SENSATIONAL Says Dad Had Four Children Out of Wedlock. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Elwood J. Banks, Jr., only son of the late Rev. Elwood J. Banks, has filed suit thru his attorney, F. L. Styles, in the Orphans court, contesting the alleged will of his deceased father, claiming that the illiterate daughter, Miss Willie E. Banks, named as executor and principal beneficiary, had procured the writing of the will "by fraud, undue influence, duress and constraint." He further states that at the time the supposed will was made, his father was aged, semi-conscious and incompetent. The will was signed with a K mark by the Rev. Mr. Banks could write. Just a few months before the death: of Rev. Banks, this daughter went to live with him, at his home, 2813 S. 10th St. It was while there, so Banks states, that she wilfully failed to deliver letters and monies sent by him to his father, and used other means to poison his mind against his legal son. The will sets forth that his daughter, Willie E. Banks, who he said had endured him so devotedly, during his serious illness, should be executor; receive the home in which they were then living, and be deposited in jacksonville, Fla., occupied by his son, and "the remainder of my estate, both personal, or real." Three other alleged illicit children, Carrie McMullen, Phillip McMullen, and Henry Banks, Augusta, Ga., were left $8 apiece. Mad White Woman Kills "Witch" Doctor MONTGOMERY, Ala. (ANP.)

The Morgan College Choral Club tendered a program of sacred music at the Madison Street Presbyterian Church last Sunday. The program consisted largely of Spiritual anthems. The chorus was assisted by male sextet and the male marchete. The audience particularly enjoyed the solo of Miss Gynesta Waters, and the male quartet the anthem. The choir was assisted by male numbers. "Were You There," an original arrangement by Mrs. Shirley Graham McManns, the director, and "The Peen of Exalation," by H. T. Burrough, were thoroughly enriched. The club is entitled to assist Tibbs in an organ, reital at the Metropolitan Church on Sunday February 2. Race Art Increases. Interest in Negro art is on the increase, and a woman, Mille, Hamburger, of the National Institute of Anthropology, of Paris, created a stir at the last meeting of the Institute by declaring that Negro art of the present day is a product of ancient Egypt. He also conducted conciliations by studying the language of the Peulis, Mandhings, and other Central African peoples and comparing it with that of the ancient Egyptians, and colonies in all that part of Africa. On the other hand, M. Pierre Mille, noted writer, asks whether a person sees time so high a price? is placed might not be entirely native to Central Africa. "There may have been civilization in Africa from which that of Egypt issued."

The race ball in Rue Blomet, Paris is reported such a success that new ones are springing up. According to reports, however, the one recently opened in the Montmartre district is not as popular as was expected because the best way to cope with the on the floor can be missed. This deprives those who come to watch rather than to dance. Dance Halls By LEVI JOLLEY Ladies and Gentlemen, you are about to listen in on the weekly broadcast program that comes over this station every Friday. You are on our discussion station A-F-R-O through the courtesy of those who read. The first number on the schedule is a letter. Received a post card from Irvin Hughes stating, "I will travel. Trip so far has been OK. We play Cincinnati tonight (which was Wednesday), then Lexington, Louisville, Indianapolis, and Richmond, Indiana. It is very cold out this way. Band going to be hot coming home. Remember me to ev'ry day." Boys Want Change The boys around town are "wolfing" because they can't dance with all their girl friends and acquaintances, because, they say, the local orchestra play their selections close together, and the band will extend their partners, and at the end of a series of three selections they take an intermission.

Monday and Tuesday February 3rd and 4th From The Front Row By LULU JONES GARRETT When the announcement was made last week that Paul Robeson had been contracted to play Othello, the only thing that kept me from tickled absolutely pink was the fact that my chances of singing in the role were scarcer than scarce, since, so far, we have announcements only of Eurotique he gives what makes me so happy—when Paul Robeson plays Ollheli, and he gives a good performance or whether he gives a poor one, you may bet your boots, he will give an interpretation of the role from a Negro's point of view. For if anyone has a fixated just what he or she should know, he has. do and how it should be none, rain. But during his recent concert, while white critics raved, not only over the singer, but also his and his group selections, and white race, he noticeably lacking in their enthusiasm for his all-spiritual and folk song program. Robeson went calmly on giving all and suds just the program he had planned, neither adding to nor subtracting from his original schedule of offerings in order to please his audiences. That we wanted to hear him in something other than spirituals and folk songs did not mean his obsession at all. He simply had an offering to him, and he gave it away. But, it is an ill wind that blows nobody good, the saying goes, and works out rather well in this instance. Mr. Robeson has a deep sense of the worth of Negro contributions on their own blackness. Blackened-face Othellos has never been satisfactory. Then too, there is a subtle emotional interpretation that needs something besides grease paint to bring the presentation to the role. Mr. Robeson also flaits the hint for interpretation and his tenacity in sticking to these interpretations give promise of bringing an unprecedented performance to this opera. This most famous of the character portrayals of this role was given by a Negro, the renowned Ira Frederick Aldridge, more than a half century ago. So immense his success was he acclaimed by all Europe, decorated by a king, presented with a medal of merit in Sweden and honored by the Czar of Russia. In as much as kings and czars and lords are not so plentiful on the stage, they were fifty years ago, we may not expect Mr. Robeson to come back to us heaped with royal medals; but if he will just "be himself," I think satisfaction is assured. What Does it Matter? Hamnet Swaffer, doing the London with a wiser? one saying that a letter paper had reached him complaining About a Negress," referring to Ethel respondent) considers it does him litter may have toward gentlemanliness answers. "There was no intention to called her a negress. She is a n proud of it." What does it matter indeed? The skin of Miss Waters is black, if she should mean a little something to Swaffer language, a place for her to what he puts into writing, her gentlemanliness. Hannen Swaffer, doing the London column for Variety, comes back again with a wise?) one saying that a letter from a correspondent of a Chicago paper had reached him complaining about his use of the "Waters." About that, the Chicago correspondent considers it does little him credit and cheapens what he may have toward gentlemaniness. "What Does It Matter?" he asks, and answers: "There was no intention to reflect upon Miss Waters when I called her a negress. She is a négress, and I have no doubt she is proud, but does it matter indeed? To us, nothing, since we all know that the skin of Miss Waters is black, if that is what he referred to. But it should mean a little something to Swaffer. In so much as the nicety of his language so perfectly places a writer and nothing so distinctly portrays a man as what he puts into writing, he might take that little reference to gentlemanly qualities." But again, what does it matter? Oh well—did you ever hear that tale of the fly who stole a ride on the bus, if you haven't, my child, look it up. The connection is obvious. The boy offers a solution to the situation, which is: that the orchestra plays two pieces and rest about two minutes, before starting the next couple of pieces. This will allow a gentleman to "date" up a couple of partners for the next series, and so on. It does not compel a man to dance with a young woman, for as has been done herefore to prevent the young woman from being left stranded on the floor. So orchestras, please take due notice to the kicks of the "wolfers." "Pups"Latest The dance of the "Pups" seems to be the latest dance for the orchestra, from all indications it is another of those fast collegiate hop, step, and jump affairs with the using of two life-time emergency supplies to execute one. The orchestra is the order of the wamps. The step movements will appear next week. Noticeed this past week that the society damals are going in for a very moderate step which they call "The Lincoln Drag," but which is really nothing other than the Brop—a combination of the Wampus and Breakaway. These sisters do not go in for the extreme body movements, but the dance is a wow.

BAR SHOWS THE BEST ONLY IN PHOTOPLAYS MORGAN, HAMPTON IN DRAMA EXCHANGE Players from Virginia School to Present Three Plays Here, March 7. Five Schools will Co-operate in Movement. An exchange of dramatic productions by the Morgan College Dramatic Club and the Hampton Players was assured this week. The Hampton Players will appear in Baltimore Friday, March 7, and the Morgan Players will appear in Hampton Saturday, March 22. It is a culmination of plans discussed by the clubs during the latter part of last year. More One-Act Plays Both clubs will present one-act plays. The Hampton club will present "The Man Upstairs" by Agnus Thomas; "The Dreamy Kid," by Eugene O'Neil; and "Phipps," by Stanley Houghton. The Morgan Club will present "Companion-mate Maggie," by Helen Dorch; "Tachley," by Ernest Culbertson; and "The House of Sham," by Willis Richardson. The last named play proved exceedingly popular on the club's tour last year. Prof. S. Randolph Edmons, who studied playwriting and production at Oberlin and Columbia, is the director of the Morgan Club, assisted by Mrs. W. E. Stark, are the coaches of the Hampton players. First Time Tried This is the first time that a serious attempt has been made to develop inter-college dramatics. A tentative agreement to form a dramatic circuit among the eastern colleges will become a certainty if these productions are successful. Hampen Virginia State College, University and Morgan College have agreed to cooperate in the development when the circuit is supposed to function. There will be a meeting this spring to work out the details. By W. LLEWELLYN WILSON. The first of a series of three conferences the Douglas High School was a real musical treat to the hundreds of students, pupils from the several schools in this city who filled the large auditorium. The concerts this year are organized by the principal director of music, and John Denues, director of music education in Baltimore public schools, to meet the needs of pupils in high schools in our city. The musical portion of the program has been selected and prepared with meticulous care. Excellent program notes have been prepared for the sympathetic appreciation of the adolescents' emotional reactions to exposure to music and with a keen insight to their limitations. M.K. Mall's program notes make interesting studies: they are at once both enlightening and stimulating. Gustav Strube, the crudite conductor of the local symphony gave a program from the works of some of the best masters. The new, perhaps personal forms was the larger movement of the Schubert Symphony: "The Brahms Hungarian known as the 'Unfinished Symphony.' The Brahms' Hungarian Denices numbers five or six, even perhaps the works offered. The irresistible cage rhythms struck a responsive coord in the large assembled audience. One could hardly wish for anything more exquisite than the lovely violoncello playing of first class, Mr Wirt's son, the composer Mr Wirt always intends a spiritual element into his playing which tends to lift whatever he selects as his offering out of the ordinary. The Swary by the composer Cailin Saint-Saene, has become almost trite through its extreme popularity, but as it was played by Mr. Wirt, the melancholy but gessive tone but mystic of Germanic folk love, became a thing of real beauty. The "Andante Cantabile" from Peter Techakowsky's quartet for strings was sympathetically read by Mr. Stuart and played by the director of the orchestra. The Magis Fire Music from Richard Wagner's "The Vakryke," a highly imaginative and vividly descriptive piece of writing and music, did not fare so well, the opening passages left much to be desired, but the orchestra struggled heroically and succeeded in bringing the concert to a very satisfactory The incidental talks on the themes and the slide ideas will be presented by the symphony as presented by Director Dennes did much to make the concert an educational and inspirational success. The concert will be given late in February. Prof. Tibbs Here. Professor Roy Wilfred Tibbs, head of the piano and organ department at Howard University, and one of America's leading music educators, recently in recital. This time Mr. Tibbs will give an organ recital at Metropolitan M.E Church. He is one of the few musicians who is not only a master pianist, but who plays the organ very acceptably. The programs of Mr. Tibbs are always educational, as well as musical in value. The pastor and congregation of Metropolitan are to be congratulated on arranging to have him here. Douglas Singers on Air. The Douglass High choral group will go on the air February 6. This group will perform four of the musical numbers well, among them Cloake's "The Pled Piper" and Richard Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman." Among the choral numbers to be presented on the occasion of the school's first broadcast will be Marge Gloria," from Mozart's Twelfth Dett's "Listen to the Llamas," and several Negro spirituals including "Go Down Moses," will also be on the program. Her school orchestra will play several numbers. Mildred Williams of the February class of 1930 has given excellent accompaniments for her alma mater's major musical offerings and has been her first year at the institution. Miss Williams seems bountifully endowed with musical feeling and always proves a sympathetic accompanist. Her music will be the most beautiful will greatly miss this promising young pianist. London's Black and White Underworld Shocks Hi Hats Black Man's. Coffee House a Rendezvous. Mixed Couples and White Newspaper Reporter Show their Contempt of Each Other. (From the London Express) ask the world if any one wasn't going There is in London's underworld a to buy her a drink. A white girl and a wristwatch. There is in London's underworld a shabby little coffeehouse where white and black people resort after the public houses have closed. It has one room, the size of a dining-room in an ordinary suburban village. The coffee bar adjoins it—a place of bathing room proportions. A rug table runs along the window with a bench behind it; there are two other tables, benches round the walls, and some stray chairs. There were three Negroes and a white woman present when I entered, and down, ordered coffee on the obsequious proprietor, himself a Negro, and waited. I have seen films of the American underworld; I know something about the "poor white" district of Chicago; but I had never imagined that a place of this biant vartick existed in the center of London. Gradually it filled up with the women and Negroes alike in the houses. I was again a soldier of suspicion, but it was an aloof suspicion, a defiant suspicion. There was bravado in their attitude towards me, finely tinged with something akin to contempt—the attitude of the lover in "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" to "Test" husband—for I was of one race with these women, and these women had betrayed their race. A girl came in alone, saw a vacant room my table, and asked if she might sit down there. I said she might, and offered her a cup of coffee. She accepted my hospitality. We began to talk. "I've never seen anything like this," I said, after a few preliminary remarks about the weather. "Haven't you seen the spied." "Well, I suppose it could make a stranger come. You're not round this part, are you?" "Not much. But you know a lot of these men, don't you?" She nodded. "Oh, yes, I know most My Boy's Colored "Tell me," I said, "do you like colored men? I mean, it has always seemed to me . . . strange that a white girl should—" "My boy's a colored man, she said simply. A group of Negroes was gathered around the long table, talking loudly. The laughter was hearty. Capacious mouths showed incredible expanses of teeth. Others broke from their conversations to dance spasmodically to their own singing. "And how!" was a frequent expression, uttered with esthetic emphasis. The proprietor pushed his way through the crowd, announcing musically that he was "funny that w-a-a-y," and shouting for orders. He got a few. A white woman in a fur coat came in and greeted a Negro familiar; he was the variety known as a "spade"—that is to say, coal-black, as black as the ace of spades and every crooked wrinkle in human mentality seemed remodelled in his Black Woman The door burst open suddenly, and three girls, talking at the top of their voices, surged in. They all made for the one dingy mirror, and began brisly to powder their noses. I had two of them previously that evening patrolling Shaftesbury avenue. Then a colored girl appeared, and was halled shrilly with "Hullo, black woman!" by her white sisters. "O-o-y-y! she beloowed a deep contralto for a joint for a laugh come into. Look at your ceiling; it's a dirty ceiling! it's a nasty ceiling. George!"—this was roared at the proprietor—"George boy, your dirty ceiling was wanting a wash." She began to dance, swaying and chanting her. She paused to T.O.B.A. DOIN'S Ida Cox, and her "Raisin Cah" company, featuring Miss Cox herself, "Billiken Grimes" David Wiles, Ella Mae Waters, Frances Herford, Billy and Willie Mae, Charles Anderson, the famous yodler; Catherine Yyons and Jesse Crump, the man whose his picture was opened at Lincoln Theatre, New Orleans, Monday, January 27, to a packed house.

A white girl wearing a bibet and a waterproof, repaired that there was just five minutes before "they closed." They disappeared at full speed; and they returned, an ill-assorted brace of beads and a living for the hour, grimming at life. All of 'Em "Have all these girls got colored boys?" I asked my acquaintance. "All of 'em," she replied. "My boy's out of town just now. Just a minute: I'll show you his photo. There it is." I loked at the postcard she had fished from her bag, and saw a taut practically full-blooded 'er. "I don't like it," she remarked casually. "They're too black." There was a trace of a provincial accent in her speech, and she informed me that she was born in the eastern counties. She was twenty-three. Was she happy? Oh, yes, she was happy enough. She hadn't much to worry about. She was successful in her profession. "Of course, make my living out of life mostly" she said, "but I wouldn't give with a white boy permanently. They're a lot of roters, I think. Now a colored man always treats you well. He'll never let you go hungry. Naturally, I send my boy money for expenses—did I tell you he's on tour with a theatrical company—and, when he comes back to me I share with him what I've got to hate that table" she said about. Gamblinz "Why? Because that's where they gamble. I gave my boy three pounds last time, and he came back with nothing. It's just luck, of course. One time I gave him ten shillings, and he came in with seven pounds. He gave me a dress out of that." He gave her a dress. "And in the morning I found a razor on his pillow—you know, not the safety kind, the old sort. He'd been ready for fight. I suppose. Looks of en carry razors—these girls, too. Me? No. I'm not that sort. But, do you know, there was a proper dupe in here just before Christmas. There were bottles and glasses, and out came three colored goggles, got their faces slashed. "Two white girls started it. she added calmly; "they were jealous over a colored man. George here chucked 'em out, but not before some one got hurt. The girls had their razors, and they were just mad. I was giving a hand behind the bar, and I saw it all. Goo! What a mess." She nudged me. "Look: there's one of the men." A mask Negro strolled into the tiny bar. His right creeek bore a strip of sticking plaster from ear to chin. He glanced at me and glanced away rapidly. Police I got up to go and heard, from the dusky party round the long table which the girl hatred, the murmured words, "I'll say we'd be a lota fools to start a game with a policeman sitting in de corner. Kid, you just consent. So that was my assumed occupation. I wished the girl good-night. "It will be," she said; "we're all going on to a colored party soon. So long: see you somewhere." An elderly woman—an elderly, plump Englishwoman, carrying a straw bag, and wearing, of all things in the world, a black bonnet—brushed by me at the door. I fancied I had caught the glimpse of a woman was followed by a white girl—obviously her daughter. I came out under the sky. Thank God for the fresh air! IN CLEVELAND THEATRES By GEORGE D.

Such was the consensus of opinion among the guests invited to a party given recently in the palatial Los Angeles home of the Lem Grants, their cups to listen to what appeared to be the almost unreal walling of a violin. The host, like his guests, was surprised to learn that he had employed no such virtuoso to fill his home with the tones of the agonized human voice. Who is it? Who can it be? From where comes the music? One after another they inquired. Quirely, the noses were counted by the host and the guests. There were two guests missing, so a hunt began. The searchers led to the bathroom door. But that door was locked and as the searching party drew near, the searchers did not even a slight glimpse of the magic vision. However, by this time, Grant was determined that he should know how to repair the wall, thinking neither of the expense of repair nor the possible danger to his toe. He let go with his strong right foot and followed with a boost from the wall. He was in the far end of the bathroom was the violinist. He was William White, son of Clarence Cameron White. His audience consisted of one person, a man who had been crying, perhaps moved by the music she had heard. Nevertheless, the host continued wretch, and as soon as the door opened to the night air, Mr. Grant applied the strength remaining in his good right leg to Mr. White in the door, the violin found himself on the sidewall, cogitating over new lessons he must learn. Several nights later, however, young White dropped in among friends to them what a great bathroom fiddle.

Let it be well understood that there is not a single white face in the picture, as is the free life of simply the breasts, once once more what I have said a hundred times.

He said he would break without his asking for it, and for the support which it gave him. Talks on Art F. H. M. Murray, AFRO proofreader, who is somewhat of a specialist along certain literary and artistic lines as well as printing, gave a brief talk on artistic appreciation. Speaking of art by many young people of today he stated that knowledge of art is necessary to any adequate interpretation. A brief classification of pictures according to their kinds backgrounds and characteristics are notable because of a certain excellence, although mediocre in other respects.

However, it was the Waite, is now planning to custom of this community to leave the front door unlocked. BY GEORGE JONES What happened when a faithful employee obeyed the orders hastily flung at him by his employer, who left him in charge of a fortune in diamonds. MOSE MORTON, the unassuming young fellow, whose daring surprised and thwarted a dangerous thief. MOSE Morton, formerly of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, lived through a terrible experience when his master instructed him to guard the precious diamonds he left behind in an enormous house near Egypt Mills. In this small town Mrs. Andrews, sister of the employer of Mose Morton, resided in the winter months. In fact, the experience was so unusual that Mose had stepped, almost before he realized it, into the spotlight of the state. All eyes are on him, and no doubt, before another month has passed. Mose will in some way be rewarded for his faithful services. It is known The band of robbers made their host tured above). Three of them walked to house below, that the black robe hand intended to hide the diamords tunnel. that the employer, Tom Waite, is now planning to surprise his brave employee with a nice sum of money. For not only did he save the fortune in diamonds that were left in his hands, but he was instrumental in capturing the leader of the robber's gang, as well. That night when Mr. Waite took his departure from the house, bound for a country dance, he said to Mose: "If my suspicious characters appear, shoot, and shoot to kill." He probed his head, and shot toill that he would obey instructions. And he did not hesitate to do it when the occasion came up a short later. Just how Mr. Waite happened to tie the diamonds in care of his uncleen uncle, he inhabited the Walit in a jewelry salesman who sometimes takes his valuables home with him, over the week-end. Be that as it may, he was wished a sister in the big brick house, with flowers, summer houses, tennis courts, and everything. And Waite had all the jewelry he carried on his selling firm's possession. Sometimes he had to take back effective gems that his customers had sold only to have brought back, besides these. he usually carried a display of samples, an rate, on a weekly basis, he had something like thirty thousand dollars in diamonds which he gave to close to look after. He had didn't step into Waite's confidence in working in the family for a long number of years. Mrs. Andrews had named that he was absolutely loved. Nororever, she had often spoken to him. She felt safe living alone there in that big house, with this venerable lad to look after her. She believed that if the occasion presented itself, she would make the supremely sacrifices for her family. he knew he was in the favor of Andrew, and this, of course, put Jim in the respect of all the help in the house. Everyone had implicit acceptance of him. But Mose was going away. Mrs. Andrew was to be gone South for approximately three months, during which time the big house at Egpt Mose would be closed. In the meanwhile, Mose was to be with Tom Wate. Mose had things to leave with his new employer the next morning when Wate stepped unobtrusively into his room with a black traveling bag in his hat. "Mose" he said quietly, "there's a fortune in diamonds in this crip and I'm going to leave it with you to guard. Also, I'm going to give you French Weekly Advises How to Darken Skins an automatic pistol. Can you handle one? Mose was not excited, although he could not help but realize the weight of the responsibility that had been placed on his shoulders. "I never did use one much, sir," he confessed stoutly. "But I can certainly try." Waite handed him the gun. "But I confess to stoutly. It is Guard it with your life. Don't let it out of your sight for a single moment. And—it any suspicious characters loom up around here, shoot to kill." The words were whirling through his mind. She shook his head, meant considerable to kill somebody. A human life was something that couldn't be given back. The gun felt heavy in his hand. Sure enough, he had a dam of diamonds contained a fortune diamonds. And he had been instructed to guard it at the expense of human life. He heard the roar of a motor outside, the colossal hard drive knew the toll its way down the gravel path. The sounds became muffled by distance, and eventually died out completely. Nasty job he had. But the orders he had received had come from the man he respect- Mose felt that he was duty bound. They might do anything to him, but as long as he lived, they couldn't take that bag of diamonds from him. He determined to die before anything else. Mose was alone in the house. All the other help had gone to the dance. The house was still. Not a sound. Nothing to be heard, save the whisper of the wind and the sound of guarded blown back and forth. Mose remembered having nailed this strip, above the garage door that morning, to stop up a crack through which snow sometimes fell. He carried the black suitcase with him. There was an enormous fireplace made of crude stone, and a large log in the grate. burning on it. Here Mose stood, with mantle of the fireplace on his upper head. He set the gun in his head. He set the grip down at his feet. He waited. He didn't know for what. But he felt a premonition that he was waiting for something. He had, in other words, those nerve-impressions. Hours passed swiftly until, suddenly, he heard a sound at the front door. It was shoved open. It slammed back against the wall. A picture was jarred off, clattered to the floor, broken in many places, strong draft in the air swept through the raised wall room. Then a sound of slithering feet. Mose knew somebody was approaching him. He whirled about. His revolver was ready for instant action. Mose cursed himself for leaving that dquarters in the railroad tunnel (pic here while the leader clipped up to the would frighten the colored lad. The s in a hole made in the wall of the door unlocked. However, it was the custom of this community to leave the front door unlocked. "Stop!" Mose shouted the command to halt. But the dark bulk continued to advance toward him, drawing nearer and nearer. Then, without waiting, Mose fired twice. The first bullet cut the robed figure to his knees, the second rob him to the floor, but while he was on his knees, the man in the black robe fired one shot at his opponent, sending him staggering into the enormous grate. When Mose fell into the grate he burned his hands. His clothes caught on fire. The black bag was scorched for Mose had picked it up before firing a shot. But he managed to remove himself from the flames, and with the bag in his hand, approached the fallen man who had worn a black robe and opened a door without knocking. Mose felt that he had done the right thing. He had carried out the orders that had been hastily funged at him. He hadn't killed the man. He saw a thread of blood staining the black robe, making a little crimson line against the wall. That was a terrible adventure, and the story of it reads like a chapter from a sensational novel. Morton can tell that it is true. Morton had a close call and a terrible experience, but he obeyed his employer's instructions. Well Do We Remember. One marine in Haiti thinks they call them "pup tents" because they are just about big enough to cover your dogs.

French Weekly How to PARIS--While Negroes in America are spending fortunes on skin-whiteners, Europeans are considering ways to make themselves darker. Comedia, leading French paper, gives the following advice on the subject: "One may get a brown skin pretty cheaply. Spelling of our article on those ladies who burn themselves in the sun in order to have a blackened skin, one of our readers has sent in the following recipe, which is already known to the ladies: This Parrot Sings. Plays and says "Amen" toHymns THE LAST INSTALLMENT Seven years after her arrival in New York, Lisa makes her debut, which is a phenomenal success. When Wentworth recovered from his wounds, he was applauding the large Negro chorus was taking a curtain call. The demands of the audience became deafening. Lissa's great hour! She advanced, the footlights and bowers, and she was plainly visible for the first time, a mixta, a little above medium height, and of super proportions. Wentworth noticed that she wont make lips that made them seem fuller, more deliberately Negro. This struck him as significant. From the light bronze of her face her eyes looked more nearly brilliant—Manah's eyes —yes, and Hagar's. For the first time, he noticed that she appeared self-conscious anxious to be away. She bowed for the second time, and withdrew among the chorus. But the audience would not let it rest at that. They got to their feet and cheered. They kept the clamour and cheered. After five minutes of it the curtain was seen to move, rising slowly on a bright vacant stage. Lissa stepped from the wings, and the clamour plunged into silence. The audience was gone. A comedy was gone. She seemed detached, oblivious of both herself and her audience. The conductor rose and looked up to her for his cue. Apparently she did not see him, for she gave up to her. She was just out of the wings, and uncompanied commenced to sing the National Anthem of the American Negro. He apparently most of the audience had never heard of it. Wentworth never had. From the first note he was aware of an absolutely new sensation. Against his perception beat the words of James Weldon Johnson's inspiring music of Rosamond Johnson's music: "Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring. Let our rejoicing rise High as the Jawring skies. Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Let it sound as the dark pine that has taught us. Sing a song full of the hope that the bird has brought us. Facing the rising sun of our new day begin. Let us march on ti, victory is won." Wentworth, listening, felt suddenly the impact of something tremendous—something that, had done with apologies for being itself, done with limitations, reaching back into its own origin, claiming its heritage of beauty from the past. As as the song progressed toward its conclusion, the singer commenced to sway—sway as Mamba always did toward the end of a spiritual. Only in this young voice to which art had brought discipline there was a difference: she but released the fount, torrent of its pent emotion into the words and music. Now she was singing the final stanza: "God of our weary years. God "might" Theo who has brought us thus far on the EAY. Lest our hearts, drink with the wine of Shadowed beneath Thy hand, Shadowed beneath Thy hand, The song ceased, and the curtain d.c.ended.

It is a Saturday in late May, and Mamba, happy in the gifts that gods have left her: sits up the doorstep of her new mobile mansion and the new new and altogether made world go hurtling past. Beneath her feet the multi-coiloured flagstones have given place to a cement pavement. Before her eyes the old cobbles have been superseded by an asphalt roadway from which the quivers is hisly upward, shaking the geometric perfection of lines that converge toward: vanishing boints northward and southward. Upon the buildings to her right and left the restorers have been at work. It is now several years since this army of invasion appeared, determined and zealous, to restore the district to its ancient high estate. Stingling and Mamba repossessed the on-the-valley space of those who, earlier in the century came to tear the cobbles from their century-old beds, to smash the flagstones to atoms and haul them away. But now they are bent upon a frenzied quest for the anti-tique, buying the ruined mansions, banishing the Negroes, and prepared to set the street for white oc时节.

Lissa Atkinson, and Saint Julien Wentworth, who manages the property states definitely that it is not Unmindful of the direct rays of the morning sun, Mamba is sitting, as is her custom, to watch the New York steamer put to sea. As though in mute protest against the sun, she is attired in an old wrapper-like garment, faded and far from immaculate. Her legs, thrust straight out before her, are stockiness, and her feet disappear into darkness. Old clay pipe juts at a raisk angle from between her toothless jaws, and from it smoke fumes in a laiz cloud about her face and drills away to offend the sensitive nostrils of the dog. More and more numerous as the houses fall one by one into the hands of the restorers. Her age is a matter for speculation, as it is a subject upon which there is no other. Her body is shrunken with the actual physical contraction of age. Under the tired flesh the bones are commencing to assume undue prominence, foreshadowing their grim survival. Faced with the skull shows in sharp relief, and the brows are ridges beneath which the eyes are lost when the head is lowered. But this inevitable physical mutation has made the disability has, instead of diminishing the force of her personality, in some strange way intensified it, so that those who speak to the old woman as she sits there feel it in the air about her dren who come and go sense it and grin delightedly at her word of affectionate abus. The cur now lying beneath her knee with only his muscled showing under it, she is dren who come and has gone there for refuge from a world that has no pity upon an unlicensed mongrel.

But Mamba, scorner or limitations, has at last learned the necessity of their acceptance, for only by so doing can she project her image by her daughters. Across the way, where the muddy beach once lay, where the mosquito flee was wont to dock, and where the Negroes would swarm and chatter; where the smacks, where the snacks, where the bones awash in the warm tides, all is now quiet—barren—orderly. If she moves her gaze ever so slightly to the north it encounters the long line of a modern pier; to the south it encounters the ambushed by the spectacle of a dozen gleam-g yachts belonging to rich Yankees who have invaded her familiar precincts. And so she had schooled her eyes to span the distance of a sunny circle of sunny harbour. Beautiful, familiar, unchangeable, it lies as always mirroring the first dim fires of dawn or sparkling in the bright windy afternoon. And across it, as they used to do to doen Lissa was a bay and go, bellowing their dehails and farewells. Over the hot rooftops come the measured tones of St. Michael's chimes announcing the hour of ten. From behind the pier sound shouts and commands. Mysterious. Then majestically, tense. Captivating. Then majestically, tense. Her rectangle of harbour moves the loft, cut-water of the New York stenner. folding back the flat blue into a thin green line lipped with white, drawing after it the sleep, black waist, the high, green enclosure. This is the moment for which Mamba has been waiting. Now that the vessel has drawn its full length into her sphere of vision she sees in it more than the form of a familiar friend out of great and mysterious, adventurer putting forth from her little world into a vast unknown. No. Today she is watching a sure voyager of that fabulous distance which lies between the wish and the rainbow end—between the vast fantastic dream. Liss and the consumation of that dream. Now from the whistle a plume of steam is blown against the stark blue of the sky, and a hoarse, baving note wakes the echoes along from the crowded decks, soaring funnel, on her own urIVATE doorstep Mamba draws herself together, and her eyes light with a gleam of her old impudent spirit.

In his dancing (which is a close kin to kicking), his foot, extended up in the air, reminds one of Al Jolson's hand extended in his famous "Mammy" song. And another thing, even though Dick was formerly owned by some sailors and owned a few sea-farers, he is a religious bird. When his mistress raises a good old Methodist hymn, Dick's loud and prolonged "Amens" and "Hallelujahs" can be heard all over the place. And if the hymn is kept up long enough, the old bird will preach. With his head on one side and his one leg up in the air, accompanied by shrill cries of "brother" and "sister," Dick is an exact reproduction of an acrobatic minister. According to his mistress, when Al Jolson told Dick to go to the kitchen and call Evelyn, her daughter, he did it. "Come on, Evelyn." he would continue to say, and follow her around until she would go to her mother. The bird's former owners were Spanish sailors, and consequently Dick spoke that language. And even now occasionally he breaks out with a flow of Spanish that would make a college frost feel cheap. "Wah! Wah! Shut up — shut up right." Dick says, initiating the way that some people quiet small children. All told this gay old bird is a remarkable fellow, and his cheery "Hello there," is known all over the town. CAVALRY UNIT AT WEST POINT IS RATED HIGH First Sergeant Dean Handles Men with Ability, Officers Say. MANY TROPHIES Unit Has Won Track Meet for Four Years. WEST POINT, N.Y. (Staff Correspondence.) — The 222 enlisted men forming the U.S. Military Academy Detachment of Cavalry at West Point stand high in official rating and efficiency of service, according to officials at the academy. This unit of cavalry, together with four white detachments of other arms of the service, is stationed at the academy to assist in the army tactics the cadets in the army tactics the cadets in the army tactics, assisting in horsemanship. Other units include Artillery, Service, Engineers, Quartermaster's Corps. Under First Sergeant Milton T. Dean, who came to West Point five years ago, after having served as a major in the army during the World War, the cavalry unit has reached a high degree of efficiency, his superior officer, Major Homer Groninger, declares. Sergeant David H. Harvard milt and has a long record Deserved Commission Friends of First Sergeant Dean declare that he deserved a commission at the close of the war, but that the policy of the War Department at Washington, while reducing hundreds of white officers in its retrenchment program, completely froze out all of the commissioned men from commissioned posts. The first colored regulars to be stationed at the U.S. Military Academy arrived there March 23, 1807. Of the 100 men in this original corps, but one remains. The corporal commissioned. The detachment was recruited principally from the 9th U.S. Regiment of Cavalry and its present strength is 28 non-commissioned officers and 180 enlisted men. They are quartered in a modern steam heated, brick and stone barracks containing, in addition, quarters, gymnasium, library, recreation center, and mess hall. There are modern shower and tub baths. Train Cadets Besides their own regular dills, the cavalrymen are assigned to duties in training cadets in horsemanship. For this purpose they have a detail of mounts and horses. For their activities include, besides care of horses, detachment riding three times weekly, guard, inspections, escorts, athletics, balls, Non-Commissioned officers School, horse show, entertaining, ladies and children riding, and ice harvesting. They are a polo team which trains with the cadets. They trounced the cadet team in a recent game. Track Champions For four years, the cavalry unit has carried away the highest honors in the post track meet in when all other contestants come in white enlisted men on the back stock horsemen have taken scores of ribbons in New York and other eastern city horse shows. The basketball team, coached by one of the crack army coaches, played the Post Band Thursday evening in the cadet army unit January 14 and the artillery unit January 30. They have played the Service unit, the Quartermaster Corps, and the Engineers and if they win the game with the Artillery on the 30th, they will carry away the 1930 trophy. Offers Opportunities There is no unit in the army which offers more opportunities to young race recruits than the Cavalry, a study of their schedules show. The little town of Highland Falls is made up principally of retired and active cavalry and army officers, white and colored, and most of them own homes and cars. When a man enlist in the Cavalry at 20 years of age, he starts out on a pay basis estimated at about $4.50 per day. In addition to this, if he remains until he is fifty years of age, the government retires with a life-time income equivalent to returns from savings of $30,000 or $40,000. In other words, he gets, if successful as a soldier, the equivalent of from $4.50 to $6.00 per day with a bonus of $1,000 per year. By success is meant, that he receives the normal promotions and retires, as all can be Master Sergeant. In the Medical Corps, as several at West Point have demonstrated, enlisted men may have an opportunity to study a profession. Private First Class Burt Fulp, a young race man, has become the X-ray technician at the enlisted men's hospital. The laboratory technician, whose duties require him to do surgery, extracts blood specimens from all patients in his hospital, acquired his knowledge of the profession in the non-commissioned officers' school. So did Private First Class Matthew Sargent, a dental mechanic who prepares the dental work for all patients in the hospital clinics. Staff Sergeants Robert Patterson and Frederick A. Mack, of the veterinary service in the Medical Department, also were trained in the service. Economic Importance Civilian leaders point out that the U.S. War Department, with its various branches spending two-thirds of the total tax income of the Federal government, should be given more study by the group. There is undoubtedly, they say, the same racial discrimination in the high command of the War Department as that which acts in civil to keep group members out of the more important places of the service in which they are not now represented. This is true, they say, because few leaders concern themselves with the detail distribution of army and navy appointments, and men in the service to be good soldiers, must follow or Making "Gentlemen" is Chief Aim at West Point (Continued from Page One) Congressman DePritse would send him some company. Immediately he would know I couldn't associate with a 'plebe', being an upper classman then." The cadet as an embryonic officer of the first rank, is taught that he cannot afford to associate socially with families of men whom he will have to command in the army. There was a wider breach between Parham and non-commissioned officers of the Cavalry unit, colored stationed at the cavalry than between him and upper classmen. This was also true of the white Artillery, Quartermaster, Engineer and other units. He would have lost caste and perhaps have been punished if he had fraternized socially with colored or white non-commissioned officers on the point. On the other hand, he could have played poles, as other white cadets do. He would have Cavalry poles. This team, comprising crack race horsemen, beat the cadets recently in a game. Had Fair Deal The more one studies the situation at West Point at present, the more one is inclined to feel that Parham was absolutely truthful when he declared that he had a fair deal. The writer learned from reliable sources that Parham might have passed the examination in "math" if he had accepted the personal advice of some of his instructors, and take it as a guide for a longer period than he did. At the beginning he was found to be weak in this subject along with other cadets. They were required to take two weeks of coaching, and were offered indefinite periods in their own time. Parham, it was said, took without question, whether they are white or colored. There is also a lack of information reaching young men of the group as to opportunities in the army. Escort of Honor The records at the Academy show that the West Point Detachment of Cavalry has been escort of honor to Theodore Roosevelt. Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, William Howard Tatt, John J. Pershing, Dwight W. Davis, the Prince of Wales, King Albert of Belgium, Queen Marie of Romania, Field Marshals Foch and Joffre of France, and many other personages. The cavalry escort is conceded by army officers to one of the finest in the service. Some idea of the friendship between races armong non-comissioned officers may be gained by noting the fact that Master Sergeant Andrew J. Brown was promoted shortly before retirement as a result of Master Sergeant Carroll, white, having voluntarily stepped down, that Brown might go out in the higher place. The complete personnel of the Detachment is as follows: Barnwell, Pink Brown, Andrew B. Barnwell, William H. Barnwell, William H. Barnwell, William H. Jackson, James F. Ray, Albert E. Hudson, Albert J. Jackson, John L. Jackson, John L. Jackson, Paul Jackson, Theodore G. Jefferson, Henry Jackson, Jennings, Charles E. Johnson, Chester A.

At that Parham was almost right. He failed by one point. The examination consisted of 100 questions (10 units of 10 questions each). It was necessary to answer 75 questions correctly in order to make a passing grade. Parham answered satisfactorily 74 questions. He was one short. He had gone a long way from the 30 he made in math in the opening test. There were also cadets who treated him with the same regard that they treated other fellow classmen. Of course the way of any cadet for the first year is no easy one. They say at the academy that if you can make it the first six months you have done enough to keep you there the whole four years. Make Suggestion From information received from officials and civilians at West Point the following suggestion is made for future candidates. That there be established in about ten centers a system whereby possible future candidates will begin two years before possible appointment, to prepare themselves for West Point careers. This may be in the form of two interviews, and thereupon begin special work in mathematics. But most of all they should be perfect specimens physically. The physical requirements are rigid. A candidate must not only be without blemish, but must not be extremely ugly. Exactly 189 parts of the human body must pass rigid inspection and there are 189 chances for defects, and 189 chances for a good candidate. A good sized corn, bunion or mole may disqualify him. More Cadets It has also been suggested that some organization make an effort to secure more appointments of race cadets and midshipmen. Each year not only the two cadets nominated by each congressman is sent, but four from each state at large, and 180 from the enlisted men of the army. There are also 122 from the United States at large. Of these latter, two are appointed by the vice-president, twenty are selected from among the honor graduates of those institutions which have officers of the regular army detailed as professors of military science and forty are chosen from among the sons of veterans who were killed in action or died prior to July 2, 1921. It is not alive that race leaders are not alive to the possibilities of getting more cadets into the military academy. Three Graduates In all these years only three Negroes have graduated from the United States military academy at West Point. The first was Henry O. Flipper of Georgia, graduated in 1877. He served in the regular army for a short while and was discharged because of difficulties. The second was John H. Alexander, graduated in 1887. He died in 1894 while serving as military instructor at Wilberforce University. The third was Charles Young, who was graduated in 1889 and was retired in 1917 with the rank of Colonel. Nine others who attended the school but did not graduate are: James W. Smith, South Carolina — 1870-1874 Henry A. Nenner, Tennessee — 1871-1873 Thomas V. R. Gibbon, Florida — 1873 Johnson C. Whitaker, South Carolina — 1876-1882 Charles A. Minnie, New York — 1877-1883 Andrews, South Carolina — 1885-1886 William A. Hare, Ohio — 1885-1886 William W. Holloway, South Carolina — 1885-1886 Emile T. Holley, instructor at Howard University, was nominated to take the West Point examination in 1925, but failed to enter because of some difficulties in meeting requirements. There are no graduates from the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Students who attended were: PARHAM CHANGES CADET UNIFORM FOR "CIVIES" West Pointer in Capital, Misses Patron, Representative DePriest. LACKS ALGEBRA Tramped in Spare Time, He Declares. WASHINGTON. (CNS)—Alonzo Souleigh Parham, after a brief visit at the office of Representative Oscar DePriest, left Thursday afternoon for his home in Chicago, where he will begin his studies in preparation for the spring examination for reentrance to West Point. "I intend to make another try," Parha mssid when asked if he planned to go back. "It all depends upon my showing in the March examination. But I plan to take it and will do my best," he added. The young cadet arrived here Wednesday night from New York City. He changed his cadet uniform for "dives." He was keenly disappointed when he was unable to see Representative DePriest, his Congressional patron, who had been called to Chicago on business earlier in the week. Chicago Coach Discussing his plan Parham said that he intended to coach in algebra with a former instructor of mathematics at the Wendell Phillips High School, who, it is said, has expressed confidence in the youth's ability, and believes that he will be able to review the material at the time of the March examination. Algebra Bugbear Parham stated that his dismissal along with 68 others was due solely to his deficiency in algebra. Parham is a modest chap with a bashful smile, who seems to thoroughly dislike talking about himself. He was enthusiastic about athletics and told of his trying out for the cross-country team. He was told he failed to place on the team, over boys who had been members of cross-country teams in high school. He indicated that he might try out again if all goes well in the spring examination. He spent a great many of his spare hours, not spent in studying or reading (and by the way I was trained in the hills around and about the Military Reservation developing endurance, he said. Hates English When asked if there was any phase of his life at West Point which he disliked he promptly answered, "English," and didn't even bat an eyelash. He has had no difficulty in this subject however. Parham spent Thursday afternoon at Howard University where William B. West, dean of men, offered him the full facilities of the university for coaching in preparation for the examinations.

The city is worth mentioning that colored folk live in friendly relations with the heterogeneous peoples composing the population, where all are protected in their rights and permitted to live. Colored people occupy substantially built houses, many of which they own, beautifully furnished, and up-to-date, with modern improvements. Segregation is a foreign word here, for people of all races live wherever they have the money to buy. Of course, for social reasons, some streets are more desirable for residential purposes than others. There are good hospitals, where Negroes are kindly received and professionally treated without discrimination. There are a good race doctors, dentists and a drug store. There is a fine high school building, costing more than $250,000, with a faculty that will compare favorably with any in this or any other state for our people. The board of education is doing all in its power to stamp out illiteracy among all peoples. Quite recently the Kelly Miller high school conducted a night school, from which thirty delinquents were graduated in the rudiments.

The Chan- ticleer Formal at Elks' Hall. Margaret De Man's 14th Birthday Party. A Benefit Charity Dance. Dear Pansy: Nothing doing right this minute that is very striking except the usual goodness and somehow, you are always ready for that. School exams are going on, so can't get much out of those folks. Few marriages on the list and almost everybody attending to their business However, to keep your amused here You see, Pansy, dear, all I could get was, "I want you to come to my house without fall on Wednesday evening for seven o'clock dinner." Well I was there at the appointed time and Mrs. John Hitchens and Mrs. John Hitchens all thughes already there when I arrived. So with these interesting people and our cordial host and hostess there was every evidence of a larger audience. We gathered in the living room chatted and enjoyed hearing selections from the radio, until we were asked to the dining room. When Mrs. Hitchens was the first attraction and next the elaborate dinner courses that were placed before us. Did we eat? Just ask Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Briggs, of 2431 McCulloch St. She had left over for the next day. When we were on the last course in came a beautiful white ice cake with lighted pink candles on it. Of course, we had to come home. And blessed me, if we weren't told the dinner was given in honor of the birthday of Mrs. Briggs. We drank to her health; we scolded her that she was not well. We congratulated her for her past happy years and as many more to follow. Little Marian, the baby daughter of the party as well as the rest of us, because she was allowed to stay up way over her bed time, in honor of the occasion. Of course, beautiful and so beautifully served and we spent a lovely evening together. Pansy, Sarah Rayne entertained the Girlgirls at a bridge lunchon Saturday at the emoji. They were full of informality, that it's nice to be in their company. Anyway after a dainty lunchon, the other girls on board maidens showed the jolly modern Girlgirls and their guests where to sit, they played bridge for the remainder of the afterparty, with some same little cardboard misses as tallies. Girlie, this club is one of the few that refuses to be bound by bronchial progressions of hostesses, meeting dates and room numbers, however, the next hostess in line has informed the club that she will have them on the afternoon of Washington's birthday. After several progressions of bridge, those who came out to top prize, Edith Biddle, the first club prize; Edith Biddle, the second club prize; and Marian Webb led for the guest prize. Sarah's extra guests were Lillian Watty, Louise Musselden, Alma Francis, Wendy Webb and Ida Brancis. A delightful party and a charming hostess. The Chanticleer Formal Gee whit, Pansy, the officers and members of the Chanticleer Club had two things to rub them in the wrong direction at their formal dance on Friday evening—folks coming in on someone else's invitation, led by the author of *Elks' hall in the lights*, their guests by putting the lights out, causing them the embarrassment of finding their wraps in the dark. After all their planning of having everything to be just so, and the unyndays of Harvey Johnson and the day transforming the hall into a dream picture of Paradise, arranging the lights so as to throw certain reflections on certain objects, they have them tampered with, and enough to shake anyone's feelings, especially so when they had paid for the use of the hall up to three o'clock. They already had it in their gals about the rules of the club, which they claimed was strictly against the rules of the club. The people that walked in on some one else's invitation, had their names checked up on the list and an order sent in to the press to cancel their names off the COAL The Place To Buy Highest Grades Call or Write for Our Prices!

I can't fig some folks an go where it When people number, they informed to Chanticleers take other m fault at thek will take good extended to that which i the affair was A Beaut Sometimes what it is, mother until but ya gods a mother is t on this earth, begins thinking and then the been without longing for l greater still w I can't figure out. Pansy, why some folks are so bold as to want to go where they are not expected. When people prepare number, they they only for those come. However, the Chanticleers declare that they will take other means to remedy that fault at their next formal to-do, and will take good care of the guests. Other than that, which I think was a cup full, the affair was great and grand. A Beautiful Card Party. Sometimes, Pansy, we don't know what it is to appreciate a good mother until she is taken from us, but ya gods and greatest gift we have on this earth. From our infancy she begins thinking and planning for us—and even though for years she been without, the mother that, rather than her is still there, and greater still when I see other mothers like her denying, thinking and planning that her child or children, as may be, may be the pleasure of her, no less of the struggles of her day and the struggles of today, it brings me back to the lovely party that Claudia DeMan gave daughter, Margaret, on Saturday afternoon in honor of her fourteenth birthday. The invitations said to a "card party," if I am not mistaken, were Thomas Margaret's, while Margaret Williams took charge of the guessing. Mae Richards and Beatrice Freeman, Friend of Margaret's mother as guest, the guests. In the first place, Pansy, when Margaret Williams assists in anything, it's going to be her job of and thorough enjoyment. So the children were all in reference to birthdays, in keeping with the occasion. For instance, she put out with four questions concerning the children. They ran like this: What is the age of a ship? What is the best age for a horse? What age is always before us? What age has a single person never? What age does a girl have? And so on. They answered the fourteen questions similar to those. Alice Chambers answered the most correctly and was given a lovely prize. Of questions Margaret put before them concerned Birthday Gifts, and of course they were like Dutch to me, and here is the way they went: A shrew came to the king's room and the griddle cakes baked in a peasant's cottage; a PhB kappa key for the man who said, "I am a graduate of slavery and wear my diploma on a box." For the man who wrote, "A woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke" NEW SHOWING OF SPRING DRESSES THE FASHION WEEKLY A recent remarkable purchase enables us to show the outstander mode in new spring frocks.

For the first and second prizes in cards, Margaret presented Yvonne Thomas the first prize and Helen Thomas the second prize, and them all guessing for a while for they all played well and for their efforts she felt like giving them al prizes. The way she managed the playing it keeps the children in good spirits. A lovely menu was afterward served, and while enjoying the delicious eats, Margaret was presented a beautiful birthday gift. She was also the recipient of many other presents.

A Charity Dance. Well, Pansy it's true that Mrs Emma Bright with the assistance of a friend, the author of Donnie Murphy, are sponsoring that benefit charity dance for St. Monica's League at Elks' Hall on Thursday evening. Epping out such nice plans too, to make the event worth while. Everybody as a rule likes to dance, and this affair they say is going to draw more attention.

Glacier's Plantation, Orchestra. Promoted by Robert Jackson. NEW YORK—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has pledged itself to pay $500 to Messrs. Alfred E. Cohen and Joseph R. Pollard, attorneys in the Virginia white primary case, and they will take it up to the United States Supreme Court if necessary. The committee contributed $100 for the prosecution of this case, which was originally prepared under the direction of the late Louis Marshall. The case, known as West vs. Bliley, by the Virginia white Democrats to the U.S. District Court of Appeals where it is to be heard shortly. The case, known as Wost vs. Bliley, concerns the right of state Democratic committees to hear from voting in primary election, as Mr. West was barred in Virginia. TEXAS CASE. The Texas white primary case, Nixon vs. Hernond, won before the U.S. Supreme Court by the N.A.A.C.P. forbids a state to pass a law excluding colored voters from the primaries. The next step in a number of states, among them Virginia, Texas, and Georgia, was a law enabling the party state committees to pass on qualifications of voters, thus putting it in their power to do what the state was forbidden to do by law. The case has been won in the lower courts by the attorneys retained by Virginia colored citizens and the N.A.A.C.P., and it is believed that prospects are excellent for a victory in the higher courts. A similar case is in preparation in Texas, where F. C. Knollenberg, attorney in the Texas white primaries, won the N.A.A.C.P. Victory in either or both of these cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, would effectually dispose of the movement to keep colored voters out of primary elections in the South.

All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic consti- pation which caused my system to become filled with poison.

The Wilberforce quint doubted its second game of the season Friday night. Browm Gym to the Shamrock A.C. a white aggregation from Daxon, Ohio. 30-15. The defense of the visitors was a tight, only four of Wilberforce's baskets being made from under the basket. All seven of Gibbs's baskets were made from the middle of the floor. Lack of a passing defense on the part of Wilberforce enabled Fenner and Kronau to get positions for the ball. Wilberforce trailed all the way, the half ending 17-13. Fenner was the star of the Shamrocks; his accurate maneuvering for position enabling him to drop 6 baskets: Gibbs, for the ball, dropped 5 baskets. The personal fouls and free throws were even, 3 out of 4 being made by both teams.

Both of Tuskegee and Lewis of Alabama State tied for scoring honors, each securing eleven points. Athenians Reap Victory as Lincoln Misses Foul Goals Twenty-five Fouls Called in Rough Game Which Ends, 33-30. SHEFFEY SCINTILLATES Lions Outscore Greeks from Floor, Yet Lose. Victory slipped from the grasp of Coach Bill Schoer's Lincoln University cagars. Friday night, as their failure to make good on foul shots enabled the Athenians to nose them out, 33-30 at the press table-less New Albert auditorium. Much to the surprise of local fans, the Pennsylvania lads put a team on the floor that gave the Greeks one of the busiest evenings they have had in many weeks. a trio of sharpshooters in Streth Sydnord, Captain Avery and De-Costa, made the visitors a threat at all times. That the teams were evenly matched is seen in the tabulated score which shows that each scored 11 field goals, but that the Athenians made good in 11 out of 15 tries from the foul line, while the Lions made on eight free throw attempts in margin of victory. The game was rough from start to finish, 19 fouls being called on Lincoln, and six on the Athenians. DeCosta of Lincoln, was the first player to find the basket, opening, shaking a field goal after about two minutes of fast and furious play. The Athenians scored 5.0 lead on the locals during the first five minutes of the game. Greeks Lead at Half Powell Sheffey and Rapp Wheatley, however, put the Greeks in the running, and with Cute Brown showing an uncanniness in tossing in the ball, Powell managed to pull ahead to a 23-21 margin, at the end of the first half. Chink Wyatt was having an off night, being unable to make his shots stand up, and a field goal, made in the first half, was his only contribution to the score. Wyatt opened the second half by tossing a difficult overhand shot that set the Athenian supporters wild, but the margin was reduced when Sydnor batted in a doubledecker for Lincoln, the lanky man man following it up after with another shot. Powell fouled by Sydnor, fouled by Cute Brown, then made a single shot to place the Lions ahead with a one-point lead. Greeks Freeze Ball A goal by Cutie Brown, and two fouls by Wheatley placed the Greeks ahead with three points to spare in the first half, in field goals, which were matched by Lincoln, but the college boys found themselves unable to score further when the Greeks began freezing the ball in the net of play. The defense, in the chant of DeGroot and SHAW, 21: BRICKS, 7 BRICKS, N.C. — The undefeated Shaw University basketball team found no opposition in Bricks College, defeating them by the score of 2. After about eight minutes of play Bishop of Shaw broke through to the basket, taking the lead which was never overcome. During the first period the Shaw team scored two points both being made by free throws. The score at the end of the period being 16 to 2. and the all-around play of Sydnor and Kelly, featured Lincoln's play, while Sheffey, Brown and Whestley played best for the local aggregation.

Tribune Big Five Noses Out Metron Club by 29 to 23 Score. By JOSEPH H. RAINEY PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The Tribute Big Five rose to unexpected heights at the Wisshickon Boys' Club here Thursday night, when they staged a sensational second half rally against the Meteors. The Meteors championed of this city, and defeated the title holders by the score of 29-25. The display of aggressiveness by the "Newsies" was remarkable, for at half time the Meteors won by one field goal and defeated the Tribute quintet during the initial twenty minutes of play. The insertion of "Randy" Dixon into the Newbies' line-up in the second half was indicted for a short time after he entered the fray he pivoted a shot that found its mark and started the race boys on their way. During the first half the white boys played cleverly and presented the quintet entirely. Short, fast passes found their way down the floor for the Meets and then a basket would ring. With three minutes to play, and the Meteors holding a three-point advantage, R. Dixon from the left side of the court that carried the figures to 24-23. With a minute and a half to go with Gina, she had to go back failed to touch the rim as it dropped through the net to carry the Tribune to the lead for the first and last time. FLASHES WIN CENTREVILLE, Md. — The Denton Flashes defeated Centerville High School five by an 18-11 score here last Wednesday night. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 1, 1930 Hear Me Talkin' To Ya Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON ALTHOUGH he has had only two years of varsity competition, Phil Edwards, star middle distance runner at New York University, must retire from competition after a year of that institution, January 31, school athletic authorities have announced. Edwards will complete three years of eligibility on that date. During his sophomore year, Edwards, because of scholastic difficulties, did not represent his school, but competed instead, as an unattached athlete. The announcement of his withdrawal means that he will be automatically barred from defending his half-time crown at the intercollegiate indoor track and field. New York University's team's hopes of successfully defending the indoor title which they captured last year, will be shattered to scintillents. As a middle distance runner, the Flying Phil has been without a peer since he first set foot on American soil. His excellent sportsmanship plus his ability as an athlete, brought him one of the highest honors to be bestowed at New York University, that of captain of the track team. As anchor man on the Violet one and two-mile relay teams, Phil has turned in some splendid performances, his latest one being his stirring contribution to his team's victory in the one-mile college invitation race at the Brooklyn College games two weeks ago. While he will not be able to compete for his school, Edwards, who holds the outdoor inter-collegiate half-mile title, the national half-mile title and the national 1,000 yards title, will prob- ably enter a number of meets unattached or as a representative of some independent athletic organization. His passing from the scene of collegiate competition removes one of the most colorful figures the sport has known in a number of years. WILL SOME ONE please tell me why, from all appearances, most of our basketball teams seem to utilize only a minimum amount of time in practicing how to make good on shooting the goal for me. I love me the reason for this neglect of one of the most important things in basketball. Time and again, this writer has seen games won or lost because of some player's ability or inability to drop the ball in the bucket from the charity mark. The matter was brought to the attention of this Underwood user in all its vividness last Friday night when two basketball games, played on the same court, were lost because of the inability of teams to locate the rim from the 1958. The first game, lost by the Palace Aces to the Goppin Normal five, had an unusual climax. As the whistle blew for the end of the game with the score knotted at 19-all, Bus Wallace, Palace Ace forward, was fouled. There was never a more frenzied group of rooters in town than those at the All-Star game threw the free three down the court. The crowd hushed suddenly. Plunkt the ball hit the backboard to the right of the rim, and bounced to the floor. Wallace had missed. In the overtime period that was thus made necessary, the Aces were nosed out. Their golden opportunity had taken wings and flitted out of the window. So much for No. One. In the main game, which was won by the Athemians from Lincoln University, 33 to 30. Lincoln had opposed, boot from the court, and on one of these, Had Linthe stood all of her foul goals (nine more), her score would have stood at 39 instead of 30. The Athemians made good in 11 of 15 tries, and had they made good on the four goals missed, their score would have been 37 instead of 33. So you see Lincoln would have won the game by two points. I do not believe that it is necessary to elaborate on this point. Here were two evenly matched teams. Lincoln scored 10 field goals to 11 for the Greeks. But the Lions' opponents made good 49, percent of their fouls—the Athemians made good 77 per cent of theirs. That, in itself, I believe, tells my story. were born. Those that follow are just commemorations of that one day. So I find myself celebrating. But instead of flowers on the desk, I find: ill-worried and poorly written copy cluttering the desk; newspapers scattered everywhere; forms to be filled and little seven-point in sight; accounts of first and last days of school; a falling over one another to get in the page—and I can find: a synonym of four letters to take the place of that nine-leter word in the headline; that clipping I had marked so carefully; . . . peace. Not much different from any other day, if any. Yet birthdays, I'm told, are a necessary evil. But whoinell gets old nowadays? G OOD old George Godfrey comes in for another pean of praise (or is it pain) when Westbrook Pegler, white New York paper and typewriter man, fills a part of his daily space with the followingocus-pocus. George is mentioned in the book of the Carrera, the biological curiosity from Italy in the following manner: "To expose Primo or confirm as a genuine prodigy, I would select George Godfrey, who has succeeded Sam Lengford as the victim of the Caucasian boycott and is compelled to spend much of his time in idleness, which, fortunately, suits his temperament between bouts with personal enemies. He would be less promenant in the fields of schooling with Jack Dempsey as a sparing partner and while he is not inclined to cause trouble in the ring lest he use up his staff of opponents and go idle, altogether he has a developed kick of stifling trouble when it is brought to the attention of his manager would be less obliquely then tying up Primo's arms and taking a turn as dealer with disturbing pokes at Carrera's center and his chin. "But of course, it is idle to propose any fighter above the rank of those primeless and hopeless minors of the ring, generally described as bums, as an opponent for Primo this side of jihl." BELIEVE it or not, the basketball team from A. and T. College down in Greenbush, N.C., was on the verge of being stranded in Washington last week, when a game, said to have been scheduled between the Aggies and Howard, was cancelled. The players wrote an learn, the Carolinians had no written contract for a game with the Bians—only a "gentleman's agreement." The boys were on a northern tour and had counted on the game to help them on their way. When they got to Washington, however, they found things to be a little different. They had to show the point of view to the players, who were not in the contract for ANY game that is to be played, whether that game is to be played at home or away. Exceedingly embarrassing situations can arise and friendships can be lost just over one of those little things called a "gentleman's agreement."

BAD NEWS from Cuba comes from Frank Warfield, who informs this desk that Riggins, former Lincoln Giants infielder broke a small bone in his right leg and will be out of the game for the rest of the season. Riggins, Warfield relates, will be able to play ball before the diamond doings are begun in the East. The other bad news, while not so bad, says that Yokely is not going so well, having to be yanked from the box on six occasions. Whether the climate is going against him or what, cannot be assured. The Xox finger is having an off season, this trip being his first to the island. The Cienfuegos team is leading the loop at present, and Bell, St. Louis centerfielder, is one of the big cogs in the Cuban team's success.

The Phantoms, using a dribbling system used years ago, were unable to compete with the greenies, who continued to use the passing attack throughout the game. Due to a tie after forty minutes of play, an extra five-minute period was agreed upon. Gump Powell, former member of the Briscoe Quint, was dropped from the team and dropped in the declining points which assured his teammates of victory. SIGMAS 14.

Prizes The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly Douglass Loses to Dunbar Subs Fail in the Pinch Ducks Led 17-2 at the End of the First Half of One-Sided Contest REGULARS YANKED Locals Uniiver New Star in Dyson, Forward. With the game apparently on ice, after having held a lead at one time of 17 to 2, Douglass High School supporters saw a fighting Dunbar High School quint of Washington, play rings around a group of students, and walk off with the game by a 26-21 score in the "Ducks" gym, Friday afternoon. The Douglass loss was the first conference loss since joining the re-organized South Atlantic loop, starting off with their regular five the Ducks immediately began locating the basket, holding a 4-2 lead at the end of the game, and was increased to 17 to 2 before the first half ended. A rally by the Poets, however, brought the score 17-8 as half time was called. Ducks Dribble too Often A passing attack that was functioning with precision was giving the locals an abundance of scoring opportunities, but the insistence of some of the players in dribbling the ball at times when dribbling was entirely uncalled for caused them to lose the ball on a number of occasions when scoring was in order. In the form they exhibited in the opening games of the season, and with Dyson and Barbour clicking in big-time fashion, were headed to a seemingly inevitable victory. The Dunbar players were on the defensive for the greater part of the first half and when in possession of the ball were unable to get within close enough range of the basket to make many of their scoring attempts effective. Only the good work of Captain Matthews and Howard was keeping the visitors in running with the field goal made Dorssey, Dyson, Lee, Simms and Dyson overshadowed even their best efforts. Snbs Pour In Douglas substitutions, however, began to pour in, with the opening of the second half and against the weakened defense that these reserves offered, the Dunbar passers launched an attack that brought them 7 points to four for Douglas in the third quarter, the score at the end of that period being 21 to 15 in favor of Matthew. In the first few minutes of the final quarter, Dunbar, led by the shifty Matthews, seared three more points while the Douglas score stood still. The Ducks, becoming over-antious, committed fouls that enabled the visitors to toss two free throws, which brought the scre t 21-20. Frequent substitutions by Coach Gibson failed to steady the team, and the defense imprinted. The visitors had located the basket from long range and their firing was becoming more deadly with each effort. Green Breaks up Game With only two minutes to go, Green, Dunbar forward, backing up one of his team-mates' shots, leaped in the air to catch the ball as it rebounded from the back board, and smacked it into the basket, to place Dunbar ahead with a one-point margin. The Douglass stands were pleading for victory but even the jettison of R. Kelly, for whom they had been playing for the live Ducks the punch they needed to carry them to victory. Another field goal and two free throws were made in the closing moments of the game, while Douglass tried vainly, from all angles o the court, to get the range of the basket. Each team scored nine field goals, but the visitors made good eight foul goals while the Ducks made WE ARE THE LEADIN CHRONIC DISE IN BALMOROZ CONSULTATION FREE We use all the best, quiet Intuitive Medicine, Vaccines, Institute.

Game Carolina Cagers Embarrassed when Howard Refuses Game, Food and Lodging. HAD OKEYED DATE Whip's to Blame, C. Davis, Coach Burr, or Dr. Davis? p.s. Special Correspondent BY WASHINGTON—Near in the history of college sports in the District of Columbia has a visiting team been more famously outraged than the A. T. basketball team that landed Washington on a cold, dreary day, last week, to keep an appointment with the representatives of the Capitol of Negro America, apected game, shelter, and food were denied the visitors, who were forced to accept the hospitality of charitable indignant sympathizers. table B1. During the C.I.A.A. conference of December 12-13, a tentative basketball schedule was made as usual, A & T was listed to meet Howard in Washington, on January 22, 1930. A contract for $100 and payment were provided earlier Howard sent A, & T, two copies of the contract, one to be signed and sent back to the other to be retained by T. Dr. Dayls Didn't Sign It develops now that Howard sent out the contract without first securing the signature of Dr. E. P. Davis, Chairman of the Athletic Committee. Why the athletic committee have been given a matter of spectation? The unauthentic explanation is that Clarence Davis, Director of Athletics, and Coach Burr were unable to get the attention of the busy chairman who was engaged in administrative history to the new quarter. In turn, as Chairman Davis, according to the same report, had given its oral approval of the contract, and insulted as time went on, insisting, rector, that Coach Burr eventuated the documents. 15. "Gentlemen's Agreement" As a matter of fact, after the representatives of the various colleges accept dates at the C.I.A.A. conference, the contract follows merely as a matter of procedure. It has always been assumed that the gentlemen will end, gentlemen will have more force than the perishable paper. For example, when A. & T. played Howard basketball last year, in Washington, the A. & T. team did not sign the contract until after the game; and only then that the contract might have a agreement. Perhaps, the procedure ought to be otherwise. No doubt, Howard has decided upon stricter business methods. Until the lips of some Howard official are sealed, the public cannot know what inspired Howard to co-ordinate the dates of their supposedly invited guests. Cosch Said Date O.K. It is the practice of coaches to confirm their dates with other teams. One coach of the A. & T. team mere- followed the practice of proteo Horn with a confirmation of the date. The following telegram, sent over the Western Union wire, was received at 122 West Market St., Greensboro, N.C.. L. P. Byarm January twenty-second date OK. Contract follows. John H. Burr. Coach Burr would be the logical person to send such a telegram. Coaches deal with one another. Thus assured, the A. & T. coach left on his northern tour, expecting Howard to keep faith. He had no need to send such a telegram is a matter for the Howard poten- tates to decide. The public will remain sympathetic with A. & T. until Howard proves that the North Carolina institution should be com- sus suspicious of the initial agreement of the subsequent con- firmation. Cancel After Team Leaves Home Under date of 20th January after the team had left Greensboro following telegram was received at Regret necessity forces Howard to declare no game Wednesday. Cannot attempt to play on that date. This cancels what Burr said Sunday. Will explain in detail by letter. Clarence A. Davis, Acting Head Dept. Physical Education Team Denied Lodging The contents of this detailed letter may serve to set Howard aright in the good graces of many indignant men, but it may also jeopardize the coach of A. & T had not received the explanation. He struggled, therefore, with Chairman Davis for a square deal, but ran into trouble when he even lodged for the night. The local Y.M.C.A. came to the rescue. When the coach appealed for a game in order that he might maintain an alliance come from his institution. Chairman Davis is quoted as saying that he did not wish to run the risk of a deficit. Positively nothing was done by Howard in the situation. Davis Silent Surely, Chairman Davis will make a statement, inasmuch as only one side of the misunderstanding has been known as a person of attested administrative ability and a man too big to offer an affront to a brother institution. Just why he acted as ally to him explains his duty to the public to explain. Is Howard Slipping? If there is a hidden secrets yet to be revealed, it appears that Howard's sportsmanship to not mention ordinary decency and honor, requires a payment of the team's effort in the institution. Howard has taken too noble a stand in sports to slip back a step. Sportsmanship means more than keeping deficient players out of the team's own glory in the treatment that it accorded to all visiting teams.

Revolving on Beasley, center, the Bisons all over the court, putting 'Hampton on the defensive.

Taylor dropped in another double from the center of the floor. When the half ended Howard had sprinted into the lead with nineteen points while Union had collected eleven points. In second half, Howard continued scoring through the work of Beasley and Taylor, and their teammate, Hall. Howard had fourteen free throws from the chair before the team scored from while Union had twelve chances from the foul line and collected five points. St. Paul Finds Self and Defeats A. and T.

He scored eight field goals, and he scored two fouls for a total of 17 points. A. and T. was helpless, except from long shots. Thus DeBerry and St. Louis contributed nine of the team's total.

The dazzling play of the Renaisance basketers of New York, so dimmed the eyes of the Morgan Bears that they were unable to locate the basket, and as a result found themselves swamped by the visitors to the tune of 57 to 33, in one of the fastest games ever to be witnessed at the press table-less New Albert auditorium. When the final word is said one can only say that the Rens just outclassed the Bears in every department. With every man on the New York team able to locate the basket from any part of the floor, the Renaisance guards assumed the brunt of the offensive, letting the forwards and as a result, the Mayors and Mayans grant the former lying Yancey for high scoring honors with 14 points. The way these two guards shot was nobody's business. Mayers had one of those freak long distance shots, that instead of rebounding briskly off the board, they nudged nudely against the board and then rolled lafully into the basket. Saitch and Mayers shot from midcourt, sidecourt, everywhere and when they were not scintillating the flashy Billy Yancey was propelling himself about every once in a while to drop the ball through the cords. Rens Never Headed The way Yancey rambled was a sight good for sore eyes, and the speed he exhibited seemed to eclipse that of his teammate Fats Jenkins, the player who suffered an injury. The Rens started off with a rush, and in the first few minutes of the game, due to the gunning of Salch and Yancey, had run up a 15-4 score on forager half time in the second half to 21. Morgan, finding her outclassed, began to rough up the game a little, and the Rens retaliated.

Sold Papers with Jackie Fields and Mushy Callahan. By BILL GIBSON. Would you work if you didn't have to? at the time of their rough and tumble street fights, that all would be headliners in the world of fatiana Of course you wouldn't! Few of us would, but numbered among those few, one finds the name of Baby Joe Gans, Pacific Coast junior welterweight, who is about as poison as anything you can get in the drug store. LIKES TO SEE EM FALL. Gans, namesake of Baltimore's immortal Joe Gans, and in private life, none other than Gerald Slaughter, likes to work—and certainly real prize fighting must be classified as such. Frankly, Gans likes to work because he likes to see human objects fall. And if you have followed his career as all, you will know his knockout of Jack Klugman, the sixth in Baltimore when he was scored in 103 fights. But to return to the subject of work, Gans has earned well over $100,000 during his ring conquests, and instead of squandering his money as so many of his contemporaries do, he has salted it away in real estate holdings. Cherokee Tox Cox, his affable manager, is authority for the statement that Gans has a net income of over $1,000 monthly from his real estate holdings, most of them being in Los Angeles, he has made other investments too that bring him a near profit. So he has made other work in order to live well. RENTS TO JAPANESE.

Probably his family name of Slaughter, accounts for some of his pugnacious tendencies, but out of the ring, they vanish in thin air.

Lenhart NEW YORK. — Larry Johnson, Chicago light-heavyweight, giving a remarkable demonstration of right hand hitting, scored his second mated for knockout here, when he matched Fred Lennard and Spokane, times and five seconds of the seventh round at Madison Square Garden, Friday night. Johnson, fighting in the semi-final, just before the Lennard-Johnson fight, the Lennard with five blows on the face that made the white boy take the count each time. In the fifth round Lennard took counts of eight, seven and nine, and in the seventh round took a count of eight before being counted Torn ligaments on the left side of his chest, and an ear, painfully frost-bitten when Johnson was caught recently, did not harm him from his slain carriage against Lenhart. Johnson welged 177, and Lenhart. 177%. Baltimore High School Wins from Wilmington WILMINGTON Del. — The Douglass High School basketball team resumed its winning streak by decisively trouncing the Howard High School quint of this city by a 35-17 score here, Saturday night. The "Ducks" outpassed the local boys in every outdoor and at half time, holding a lead of 17 to 10 and from that time on were never in danger of being headed. at the time of their rough and tumble street fights, that all would be headliners in the world of fistiana. Up thru the ranks they have come, and today it is no secret that it is just as hard for Gans to book a fight with any of these white fighters as with any of the less man to win a waltzing contest. "SHOCK PUNCHER." Gans is known as a "shock puncher," and anyone who has ever seen him in action will agree with this designation. He has a clever style of mixing his punches and hands to lead a show before his opponent realizes what it is all about. At close range and from a distance, his punches rock just as hard. Consequently he either has to coast along with the deficits or fighters, but, or more mediocre race boxes or in a much smaller purse. WAS IRON MOULDER. Before entering the boxing game, Gans was an expert iron moulder at a large Los Angeles plant, and as such not only earned high wages, but won the hearts of his employers. Each year the workers have a picnic, and no matter where Gans is, they wire him to "come home." And he usually does. "He's got him of loving cups those wine goblets," Cherokee Tom confides. "And would you believe it, they gave him a cup as a prize in a dancing contest. Just out of their esteem of his efforts, you know." VERY MODEST. Part of the year Baby Joe Gans lives in New York and the other part he spends in California. Unassuming and even a little reluctant to talk about himself, he is what his manager calls him. He would probably happen to go to New York, you'll be very likely to find him at the Monarch Els' Home. HOPES FOR BIG SHOT. Of course, there's the money side to the fighting business, but Gans likes more than that. He likes to see 'em fall. Some day, he hopes to get the big shot he deserves, but until then, he'll just keep on flattening the boys they pick for him, he says. Patterson to Lead St. Paul Gridders LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — Election of Harry Patterson, Bleridge, Va., as 1930 captain and the awarding of the 1929 season, marked the eleventh annual St. Paul football banquet here, Thursday night.

Gus Moore, University of Pittsburgh star, was beaten out at the tape star, by Conger in the invitation run.

New York Middleweight to Give Pennsylvania Boy Real Test, Tuesday. LOCAL BOYS ON CARD Iron Man Dillard, Kid Fields to Show. Jack McVey, New York middleweight, and former race titleholder in that division, will meet Tiger Thomas, Leiperville, Pa., Pennsylvania's leading middleweight, in the main bout of 10 rounds on the Monumental Sporting Club's card at the New Albert auditorium, Tuesday night. Matchmaker Jack Farrell and Promoter Willie Dixon secured the signatures of the two boxers only after a long period of negotiations McVey, sometimes called the "world's best boxer," has certainly been one of the most victimized fighters of the day, having received any number of raw decisions from referees and judges alike. McVey "Unlucky" Probably one of the most glaring of these decisions occurred at the Queensboro Athletic Club, Long Island, in the McVey-Caplan bout recently, when a thoroughly beaten team of from Jewish hooted and booed the decision awarded to Caplan. Against Dave Shade in Cleveland, Frankle Scholl in Buffalo and Pete Latzo in Cleveland, decisive victory did not bring the decision to a draw and a loss nearly driving manager Morris Gain hysterical. Critics and the press credited McVey with ten out of twelve rounds against Latzo; unbiased judges agreed he had easily beaten Shade, and that Scholl never had a chance his fists came to hand in the judges' sips. Say Thomas Can Hit Thomas, who is attached to George Godfrey's stable at Leiperville, is said to be a slashing fighter, having mopped up all opposition in Pennsylvania. He lost a decision to Maxie Rosenstein who holds two decisions over McVey. Tough Semi-Windup Leo Dunkins, another of the God-frey stable, a native of Texas, meets Al Dorman in a semi-windup. Dorman, a Georgian, was once sparring partner for the late Tate Flowers and is said to be a willing fighter and is said to be a willing fighter. This bout will go eight rounds.

Venue Market "Specials" prices on the finest in the only completely HEATED and ventilated Free Delivery e.Market Lack of a suitable auditorium or gymnasium, with abaccommodations for spectators, officials and press representatives, is proving a distinct handicap to local basketball teams in staging their big games. Where there could easily be attracted crowds ranging from two to three thousand at the games, the crowds at the New Albert Auditorium stop at about 1,500, due to the fact that seating arrangements permit only from 500 to 700 persons to sit comfortably. To be forced to arrive at the hall by 8:15 in order to get a seat for a game that will not begin until after that, more than some basketball lovers can do, and that artudent group of fans and those who will lay a wager or so, that will push and shove to stand up to witness the sport. NO ROOM FOR PRESS. Accommodations for officials and newspapermen are of such a nature that it is impossible, at times for these men to gain access to the make-shift bench provided for them. There are no seats and after the crowd comes in those at the table must bear the weight of latecomers who lean upon the formers' backs. Most of the time it is necessary to write upon a cardboard held in the crook of one's arm. There are no drinking fountains in the building, and no fire escape from the second balcony. Requests for a press table have been ignored. In other cities and at provision is made for the fourth estate, particularly when the athletic publicity is given by race newspapers is considered. CARLIN DRAWS LINE John J. Carlin, operator of Carlin's Amusement Park, where a number of games are played during the season, told the AFRO this week that it was his policy to refuse the race permission to use his big basketball court. High rental charges for the use of the Richmond Market Armory or the 104th Regiment Armory, plus the added expense of renting chairs and the resulting inconvenience of seeing over spectators heads because of the level floor, make these places undesirable. The problem of heating is also involved. CAN'T USE SCHOOLS. The high school and junior high school gymnasiums are out of the question, since permission would only be granted to use them with the stipulation that no admission fee be charged. Consequently, Baltimore is without a suitable place in which to stage big-time basketball attractions. Until Morgan College builds a gymnasium or until other capital builds an adequate place where ladies as well as men will feel comfortable, many sport fans are going to remain at home.

TALIAFERRO I have received the following letter and perfectly played hand from Mr. F. D. Rogers, of Cleveland, O. M. Baltimore Afro-American: I am indeed glad to note that your paper now has a Bridge Department. I have often wondered, so somehow, did not fully realize the popularity of Bridge. (since it is in its infancy among some of our group) and initiate Bridge Department. I am secretary of the "Grand Slammers" of Cleveland, Ohio, and we are claiming the championship of the city. Ten members compose our roll, and each of them is making Bridge School of Cleveland, as we enroll only post-graduates. Since I have been following and presenting the columns of your Bridge editor to our group, he has been asking why he always published the most simple of hands. Maybe he never receives a perfectly played Bridge hand. Maybe he will admit and publish this one. It was the play of the hand that club the mid-winter honors, at duplicate play. I would call it a perfectly played hand. Please have Mr. Talferro look it over and realize what a perfectly played hand would not the Declares. Wishing you the best of luck in your new field and anxiously awaiting Mr. Talferro's publication, I remain Respectfully F. D. ROGERS, Secy. "Grand Slammers."

Trick 2: West, King of Spades Trick 3: East, King of Spades Design 1: 4 gfts, ruffed, Design 2: 4 gfts, ruffed, Trick 3 to 11: Declarer won with trumps and Ace-King-Queen of diamonds, and Ace of Clubs. Trick 12 and 13: Declarer lost to adversaries, losing 6 and Queen of Clubs. Decider won four tricks over the book, getting 32 trick points and 100 honor score for five honors in one hand. Total 132 points. Not so bad is it? It is *Palermo?* In regard to the hand submitted, I ask that the bidding was sound for expert players who belong to one club, and understand the sound bidding principles of that one Club. But if you had not been play with a club member you could call his/her initiality. Expert players when play together do start with an original one bid as that gives each a chance to make the bidding more informative. Therefore I agree with you that the bidding was good and good for the player who played it, did not call for so much tact or incinere—if you will pardon me for saving it—as it practically played itself. What I consider a perfectly played hand is one in which the player is skilled in which the perfect the play and makes it concrete. Now Mr. Rovers—and please forgive me for this—the hand was not played as perfectly as you thought. The Declater missed it in his play. Of course I realize that many very good players of Bridge would miss the same thing, but in going over the hand you submitted I noticed a mistake that if it hadn't been made you noticed the Declater was the one to see. After West had won trick 1, and to trick 2, led his King of Spades, which Declarer won by bruffing, Declarer could have ruffled when Declarer ruffed he used his 4 of Hearts, a card that he could have made the most potent instrument in closed hand. If he had given Dummy sufficient eration, the court would have closed the would have ruffed the King of Spades with his Ace of trump. I know you will say you have been taught never to ruff with an honor when playing fourth, but if you would have been in your favor to do so. When Dummy hand was exposed you could see that there were only four adverse trumps, and even if they were in one hand you would have sufficient honors left to pick up all trump tricks. Had you ruffed with an honor instead of the 4, you would have then made your hand a certain and play by play with trick 2, which Declarer ruffed with his Ace (not his 4). Trick 3--. Declarer picks up all adverse trump, leading King and Queen of trumps from closed hand and playing the deuce and trey from Trick 5-6-7, Declareer plays Ace, King and Queen of Diamonds from closed hand leaving the thirteenth Diamond in Dummy. (Note this) Trick 8. Declareer leads his 4 of Hearts, (trump). when the overtakes in Dummy with 5 of Hearts, putting Dummy to the lead (this is the lead) he could have made had you ruffled trick 2 with an honor instead of the four.) To Trick 9. Dummy leads his thirteenth Diamond on which Declarer Sluff his losing 6 of Clubs. Trick 10 leads the duel of Clubs, on which Declarer either flushes his Queen, or plays his King, with the age. Trick 11-12-13, are won by Declare with his remaining winning trumps Thus, Mr. Rogers, did your Declareer miss a chance to make a perfect play of his opportunities. Of course he should not feel pressured by ten or fewer players would have made the same mistake he did; on account of being taught not to ruff with an honor, but you admit in this instance it would have been visibly valuable another hand if you wish, Mr. Rogers, for diagnosis. Instead of making a total of 132 points, Mr. Rogers, you would have made 48 trick points. score for a small slam and 100 for five honors in one total, totaling 198 points. LAWS OF AUCTION BRIDGE Drawing for Partners 9. (a) A table can often be formed, the highest becomes the first dealer and his choice of racks and seats; the partner behind him, but having chosen before by his decision. He who draws second highest is dealer, and sits opposite him, the fourth highest. Fourth highest takes the vacant one. The numbers, if any, are fourth, fourth, and members of the table but in the current rubber. *Papell's Estimate of Lincoln.* in *New Speech Delivered* April 14, 1876) Truth is proper and beautiful at times and in all places, and it is never more proper and beautiful in my case than when speaking of a great public man whose example is likely to be commended for honor and imitation long after his departure to the solemn shades—the silent elements of eternity. It must be noted, truth compels me to admit, here in the presence of the monument we have erected to his memory. Abraham Lincoln was not, the fullest sense of the word either man or our own, in his essays, in his thoughts, in his preface, and in his preface was a white man. PHILADELPHIA, N.J. He was pre-eminently the white President, entirely devoted to the welfare of white men. He was willing and willing at any time during the first years of his administration, to deny, postpone, and sacrifice the rights of humanity in the sacred people to promote the welfare of the white people of this country, all his education and feeling he has an American. He came into the presidential chair upon one principle name, oppose one to the extension of his arguments in furtherance of this policy had their motive and mainspring in his patriotic decision to the interests of his own. To protect, defend, and persecute slavery in the states where existed, Abraham Lincoln was not ready than any other President draw the sword of the nation. He is ready to execute all the institutional guarnition of the United States constitution in favor of the states system anywhere inside these states. He was willing to pursue, recapture, and send back the fugitive slave this master, and to suppress a two rising for his liberty, though a guilty master were already in prison against the Government. The tie to we belong were not special objects of his consideration. Knowing this, I conclude to you, white fellow-citizens, a prevalence in this worship at once full supreme. First, midst, and last, and yours were the objects of deference and is most solitude." Note: The whites who were the objects of Lincoln's solicitude were, never, not the white workers, but white business-men in the North (the slave holders in the South.) Experience proves that those are most afflicted who can be abused in the greatest impunity. Men are hipped offenest who are whipped test." - Frederick Douglass. dication at Virginia State president's Day and the dedication of two buildings for gift-giving.

Ga. Teachers of Illiterates Victims of Discrimination ATLANTA. — Several southern states are making an extensive illiteracy campaign to reduce the number of students who write by the time the 1930 census is taken. The educational departments of Georgia and South Carolina have made appropriate grants of $1.42 for colored. The white teachers receive $2 per night for teaching, colored teachers get $1 per night for the same classes. These questions were discussed: What attitude should the college students take? Does college tend to change the religious belief or the attitude of a student? If so, why? Is there anything inherent in religion, the church, or an education which of necessity must entrange an educated man from the church? Complaint seems to be that students do not get anything from sermons. What should the college student look for in a sermon? What should be the standards of conduct for the religious leaders? What should college students look for in doctrines? Do you favor forming a Universal Church, that is, non-demonstrational? Should students to find something in a church, that is, non-demonstrational? Is religion practical? Is religious indifference peculiar to this generation? If so, how? Is an individual obligated to attend the christian school you have been offered, so what, may you have a membership? To what extent can one follow the CHRISTIAN school? Is it necessary for an individual to form a definite religious attitude? If so, what is it? What constitutes a progressive religion? What constitutes a progressive religion?

AFRO RADIO HELPS Improving Tone Quality Due to the better design of the apparatus and the reproducibility of reproducing units, the tone quality of the modern receivers far excels that of the older type sets. Though the older type sets were fairly efficient in producing the tone, the fall down lamentably on bass note reproduction and as a result, the tonal quality suffered. A suggested method of bringing out the bass notes is to connect a fixed condenser, the characteristics of the tones of the audio-frequency transformers. By using the proper capacity of condensers, the characteristics of the transformers will be so changed that the low frequency bass notes will brought out more clearly than the variations in transformer characteristics, no set value of condenser can be given and the proper capacity must be found by experiment. The requirements may vary from a small value, such as .0005, to a large value, such as .001. Generally, the maximum capacity will not be in excess of .001 mid. armacies 3 STORES 1200 Penna. Ave. Cor.

During this series, the principles and nationalism will be discussed. In this first sermon — "Great Modernists — The Devil" — the radio audience will be taken back to the church. Edoed Satan first cried upon the word of God. "It is popular today to deny the word of God," declares the Rev. Mr. Barnhouse, but his devilish Devi. Methods may change but the principle of denial has remained the same through the centuries. Denial does not affect truth. Christendom today has the Bible to be a supernatural Book and those who believe it natural. The latter party call themselves modern but there is nothing in their claim that proves the newness of their idea.

High Principals at Wilmington Meet WILMINGTON, N.C. — School principals have three kinds of administration, said H. L. Trigg, inspector of colored high schools at the Williston High School here. Friday. The first of the administrations, the "vest pocket," is the kind in which the principal carries the students' records in his hand. There are won lots. There is little in any business about such a program. The second kind is the "street administration," in which the principal transacts all his business with the school's weak points, the addition of courses, in fact all the school business is aired with patrons on the corner. The third administration is the office type, the business is treated as it should. It is only the last kind of administration that North Carolina wants. Prof. Trigg, who is a graduate of Morgan College, was formerly a teacher at Winston-Salem at Teach Prof. F. J. Rogers, principal of the Williston school here, was elected president of Williams, principal of the school at Hallsboro, was chosen as secretary. The next meeting will be held in October.

(CNS) While the supply of labor greatly exceeded the demand in practically all parts of the country, there are indications of an upward trend in industrial activity and unemployment will in all probability begin to show a decrease from now on, it was announced by the "Director General of Employment reviewing conditions throughout the country." "The tide of employment all over the country has changed in the right direction." President Hoover said, after receiving information that the steel, #on and automobile industries, along with virtually every other major industry, have shown increased activity since January. Secretary Davis said "we can expect a great deal of business in 1930," and that the present year "should see us well on the way to complete recovery" from the depression and slack employment during the last few years of 1929, which are ascribed to seasonal conditions. Southern Conditions At present suffering due to lack of employment is acute and conditions generally in some sections of the country are severe. All of the South they are considered worse than at any time since Reconstruction, and almost universally of 1920-21. Unemployment is general, particularly among the Negro workers. Many of them, tenant farmers and laborers in cities and towns, and many on short rations and scantily clad. There is no actual starvation, but there is none only because individuals and relief organizations in the more densely populated areas realized the gravity of the situation and have it. Crime Increase Crime, especially the stealing of food and meat, has increased in many sections. Landlords, banks and credit merchants are uncertain at what expiration date and are due to the failure of the croppers to pay them this season. These sections are finding it hard to copaintize the face of the People's assurance of better times in store during 1390. LOUISVILLE, KY.

Establishment of a new broadcasting station under Negro auspices with the objective of stimulating interracial interests, which would offer "America's only distinctive music, the Negro folklore," was urged before the Federal Radio Commission on January 28. Dr. William J. Thompkins, managing editor of the Kansas City American, of Kansas City, Mo., asked the commission at a hearing to issue to his newspaper a license for a 250-watt broadcasting station. Commission records show that there are no broadcasting stations licensed to Negroes or Negro organizations. The application filed by Dr. Thompkins was for assignment on the 1,120 kilobyte (kb) with unlimited time to reach 250 volts. Representatives of two other broadcasting stations, WISN, Milwaukee and KTRA. Houston, asked leave to object, to the assignment of the station on this channel because of technical interference that might result. The application was taken under a advisement by the commission. Western Union to Employ Race Clerks NEW YORK. — The office personnel of the 1831A Street branch of the Western Union Telegraph Company will be replaced with one that is all-colored according to reports made here last week. This announcement comes as the result of a recent survey in Harlem to determine whether or not Harlem branches of the company could be turned over, to colored employees. While members of the race have been employed in several large cities by the Western Union as messengers and in a few cases, in clinical positions at the company headquarters, 185 Broadway, this will be the first experiment in placing a colored man as manager with an all-colored staff. According to James F. Nathan general manager of the company, the new workers will be placed following a course in technical training that will fit them for the positions.

PETEON CO. Dge. 9 p. St. Louis Mc. Dr. Curtis Tells How Tea Room Girl Sought to Burn Him With Acid Physician Admits He Paid Taxi Bill and $40 for Torn Coat. Operation He Performed was Mechanical in Which there was No Cutting. Continued from Page One Miss Fitzhugh was on the stand more than three hours. During her testimony, her counsel, Mr. Canfield, of Lambert, Yeatman and Canfield, and Mr. Charles H. Houston, of Houston and Houston, representing Dr. and Mrs. Curtis, engaged in many sharp legal debates over the administrative evidence. Mr. Houston succeeded in disconcerting the witness with his opening remark, "Well Miss Fitzhugh, the coat has disan eared, the nurse has disappeared, in fact everything has disappeared. Although the judge ruled that the jury disregard the remark, Miss Fitzhugh was visibly annoyed. Speak Louder It was necessary for her counsel to warn her to speak louder every few minutes during the hour and a half of cross-examination. On one occasion the judge warned her that it was decided to her advantage to jury and the court hear her answers. "You will soon have me think I am deaf. Miss Fitzhugh, and I certainly don't want to think that Judge Siddons to the court strenuously trapped the court stenographer two feet away could not get her answers without asking for a repetition. Miss Fitzhugh managed to maintain her poise, although it was apparent that she was greatly distressed and blinded of fire of Mr. Houston's questions. Couldn't Recall About two o'clock in the afternoon she began to answer frequently that she did not recall or couldn't remember events which took place following the alleged attacks. She admitted being at Freedman Hospital on July 11, 2001, seen seeing a girl. She claimed that she was visiting a friend of hers, who was an intern at that time, one Dr. Robert Craft. Dr. Curtis Testifies Dr. Arthur I. Curtis took the stand at eleven o'clock Tuesday morning and testified for nearly three hours and a half. He emphatically denied all of the allegations of the plaintiff, claiming that on the two occasions of alleged assaults been a part of an altercation which, to prevent Miss Pfitzhugh from doing violence to himself and his wife Tried to Hurl Acid He stated that she made frequent threats against his life and well-being, and that on one occasion it was necessary for him to snatch half-pound of gold old coins from Miss Fitzhugh to prevent her making an attack upon him with the dark crystals. Dr. Curtis told of his education at Howard University Medical School and of his subsequent study abroad, following 22 months on the United States Army, during the World War. First in 1921 He claimed that the first time he saw Miss Fitzhugh was in 1921 when she called him to treat an injury to her hand. He treated her for about a week at this time, he said to a week's story, Dr. Curtis testified that: "About the last of 1925 or the first of 1926 I saw Miss Fitzhuch for the first time since the first time I called upon her at her home, after a summons from her, and found that she had an abdominal complaint from which she claimed to have been suffering for some time. I called up previous operation some nine or ten years ago. She had a large scar and a smaller scar which indicates a drainage to a physician. She told me that at times she was in great pain, but advised me that I wanted to avoid a second operation. I told her that I would do all that I could with medical treatment but the following spring, after a great deal of office treatment, I advised her that there was another treatment as an operation was the only help for her condition. At the time she was suffering 'abdominal pain at every cycle. Almost every few weeks people would call me and tell me that Miss Pittzham had taken ill and I would go to her in pain and quite a sick woman. No Cutting "I insisted that there was nothing I could do without an operation. About the middle of July she sent for me and told me that she felt someone had been injured the 20th she consented to the operation. I agreed that there should be no cutting." Interrupted by Mr. Ganfield, he expulained the operation would be mechanical in which adjustment would be made by mechanical instruments rather than cutting. He assisted his father at this operation, he said at which Dr. William Nixon, the nurse Miss Elizabeth Nixon were also present. Out of Bed First Night "She paid me $100 for the operation and the next day was operated upon. That night the nurse called to her hugh's nervous condition and I prescribed for her. Later Miss Fitzhugh herself called me and feeling that something must be terribly amiss for her to be on the telephone on the night of her operation I hurried to the hospital. Beginning that night Miss Fitzhugh complained of first one thing she did not like: Dr. Cox insisted "She did not like the patients nor the room or anything, and consistently did things against my profession. She finally left the sanitarium or the fifth day, although she knew, he claims, that such a mechanical operation required ten days at least. Wanted $800 About February she began to make demands upon him for the return of her $100, claiming that the operation refused to consider paying her, he said. Later she returned with demands for $700 to cover the expenses she have been forced to bear in connection with her business due to her illness. She refused to prefer charges of criminal abortion and have my license revoked causing me and my father irreparable damage and suffering, "unless he paid for it." She also refused to of that would injure him, he said. "On May 8, Miss Fitzhugh called me and insisted that I come to her home to see her as she was too sick to come to the office. I insisted that she come to the office. In the meantime I had The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 1, 1930 PIANO HOSPITAL W. W. PINDERHUGhes.

Md., exclusive Washington and Baltimore summer colony on Chesapeake Bay, will be rebuilt, Richard F. Ware, the owner, announced Tuesday. Fire on January 20 completely destroyed the hotel, the cottage of Mrs. Sarah Hall and badly burned the cottage of Dr. John E. Washington. The rebuilding of the hotel, Mr. Ware stated, will be undertaken by a stock company, which will be incorporated and will have an authorized stock number of 20,000. The stock will be offered for sale in Washington and Baltimore. S. H. Rose, real estate dealer, of 1241 U. Street, nw., will be associated with Mr. Ware in the promotion of the company and the rebuilding of the hotel. The rebuilt hotel is expected to cost about $1,000. Completion of the project is planned for the hotel to be ready to open about May 30. my wife of her insistent demands for money so when I went to the office this afternoon (May 8) Mrs. Curtis accompanied me. Paid Taxi Driver "After the first patient had been seen I had another call from Miss Fitzhugh telling me that she was unable to get her car started in the would be over right away in a taxi. "When she came a few minutes later she asked if I had change for a dolphin. "Yes, she said the taxi man 35 cents. I happened to have 35 cents in my pocket and paid the taxi driver. Miss Fitzhugh then walked back through the door and was in the nurse's room. When Miss Fitzhugh came in she stopped and looked up, telling my wife that she was the very one she wanted her at once and the three of them went back to the office. From Chair to Desk "Miss Fitzhugh launched into a story in which she told my wife that I had ruined her 780 on the spot she would begin, right the next day to do everything she could to start my toru. The demand kept up for several minutes during the show, but I was going to be paid or know why. She jumped from her chair to the desk, when I told her that I would never pay her one cent, and grabbed a paper from the desk and put it on the table there. She rushed at me, I jumped to save my glasses and my wife grabbed her. I threw my glasses on the desk and separated the two events, Miss Fitzhugh's coat was torn." The Torn Coat Upon cross-examination, Dr. Curtis said it was problematical whether Mrs. J. Curtis had cost for which he later paid her $40 to cover the repair work necessary. She refused to give him a receipt for this money. Dr. Curtis said. Took His Bag "Miss Fitzhugh sat down and began crying and screaming, and finally jumped up and ran from the house. She crossed the street to where my car was parked and took my medical bag—a large old-fashioned bag, in which I carried my instrument in her hand, on her hand, she went running up U street and disappeared into the alley, where I lost sight of her." Leit Her Keys Dr. Curtis saw her later the same afternoon and she told him she had left her keys and pocketbook in the office. When he agreed to let her come to the office, he traded against him, which made it necessary for him to telephone his brother-in-law, who lived two blocks away, to come to the office. When he arrived Miss Fitzhugh, he asked Dr. Curtis said, but spent the entire time of this visit, abusing him. "She called me everything she could think of," he said. He found the keys on the floor after she left, and took them to his home, later turning them over at her request, who called for them. At Freedmen's Hospital Concerning the episode of July 6. Dr. Curtis claimed that he saw Miss Fitzhugh at Freedmen's Hospital that morning to the nurse that she had an appointment with him, although he had made none, he said. When they were alone, Dr. Curtis testified, she opened her handbag stealthily and grabbed the snatch it just in time to prevent her from throwing crystals of carbolic acid on him. He grabbed the bag and found that it contained a half pound of crystals. About a half hour later, when he arrived at his office he again found her waiting for him. She threatened him and when admitted to the office she went through both of the rooms, and left. She began screening and crying and later ran out on the front steps and sat down and cried and screamed for his life, in the light of her repeated threats. Dr. Curtis was the complaining witness in a case in which she was bonded to keep the peace. Mr. Canfield was unable to witness upon cross-communication. He repeatedly denied all personal relationship with Miss Pitfitz. He denied ever leading her to believe that he was going to be divorced from his wife, who was absent frequently from city, managing her shop in Detroit. At this point Miss Pitfitz cried quietly for several minutes. Throughout the course, she sat and sat with downcast eyes. She frequently conferred with her lawyers during the cross-examination of Dr. Curtis.

January 1928 In our heart our memory lingers, under fond and true; There's not a day, Dear Mother; That we do not think of you. Some may think you are forgotten When they see you smiling smile; But they do not know the sorrow, The flowers fade upon your grave; May wither and decay; But our love for you who sleeps beneath. Can never fade away. Her smiling ways and pleasant face; He pleasure to recall; She had a kindly word for each, And died beloved by all. Some day we will meet her; Some day we will not where, Her hand in better land. Never to part again.

MAYOR TALKS New Member for Cheltenham Advised. The terms of three members of the Board of School Commissioners expire in March. They are, Mrs. John Wesley Brown, Mrs. Louis H. Levin and John H. Duncan. Friends of Dr. B. M. Rhetta, local physician, who have twice placed his name before Mayor Broening—once in his first administration and again last year when Dr. Frank J. Goodnow, the Theodore E. Straus and Warren S. Seipp were reappointed—have indicated already that they expect to continue the fight to place a colored representative on the school board. Other Cities Have Colored Advocates of this program point out that under the law, in the District of Columbia, three of the nine school board members must be col- Atlantic City and New York are other cities which have had colored school commissioners, and on January first, Mrs. A. H. Martin, a former Cleveland (Ohio) school teacher, was sworn in and took her seat as the first elected colored member of the Cleveland school board. Mayor Gave Promise Politicians point out that the mayor in his pre-election speeches made promise of appointment of colored on city boards. After election, he appointed Dr. Howard E. Young to the Jail Board and Willard Allen upon the Zoning Commission. To the Board of Education, to which his promise was directed, no appointment was made. The Mayor Talks When asked what was the possibility of a colored member on the school board this year, Mayor Broening said: "While I have not yet fully made up my mind and am giving the school board and other matters of this kind my serious consideration, I have had so much pressure brought to bear to retain the old school board in office that I can give no definite answer to this question. There would no doubt be consideration of applicant should a vacancy arise, but there is an agreement to keep the school board of politics and not make appointments. I am being opportunized to keep the present board in office during the development of the program they are putting over. My greatest desire is to see that the best is done for both colored and white children." Jail Board Welfare workers have an eye on the Jail Board, upon which there has been a vacancy. Parker Emerson, white, was appointed by the mayor, but has failed to qualify. Effort will be made to have mayor appoint a colored woman to this board. They point to the effective service now being rendered by Mrs. Grace Hartnett, white, as an indication of what could be done by a colored woman member. Cheltenham Another appointment which the mayor will be asked to make this year is a new city representative upon the board of the House of Reformation at Cheltenham. Bailey Conway and Joseph P. Evans are the mayor's appointees on this board at present. One of the first moves of the board several months ago was to oust Dr. George F. Bragg, who had been a member of the board for two decades. Under the law, Governor Ritchie is authorized to name annually in February two members of the Cheltenham board. Both of the governors' appointees are white. Despite the title of senior against Cheltenham which has resulted from unfortunate Grand Jury reports, and from refusal of judges to commit boys there, no changes have been made by the board in the white personnel of the reform school.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 1, 1930 "INSANITY" PLEA MAY BE PRICE'S MURDER DEFENSE War Vet's Rape-Murder Trial Promises to Develop Sensations. A.W.O.L. IN FRANCE Left Labor Battalion for Front Line. Insanity, brought about as war service, may be the defense of Lorenzo Price, a result of shell shock and charged with rape and murder, his attorney intimated to the AFRO-AMERICAN this week. John M. Lyell, white, attorney retained by the wife, also intimated that the trial promises several sensations and that he did not believe the rape charge would hold up. Trial Postponed The trial of Price, set originally for January 27, has been postponed on account of the condition of the accused man. When examined by a physician at the request of his attorney last week, it was found that the bullet with which he was wounded during his arrest has not been removed and that the wound is suppurating. Price told his wife that his condition was such that when he drank water some of it passed out through the wound. In view of the fact that he is to be the chief witness in his own defense, his lawyer has asked a postponement until such time as he will have sufficient strength to take the stand. To Be Examined One of the first steps made in Price's defense has been to retain the services of a specialist to examine him as to his sanity. Whether or not this specialist will take the stand in his defense depends upon his findings, but it is believed that he will be found mentally unbalanced. Promise Sensation That the trial promise other sensations developed this week from lines of investigation being made by the defense. One of these is a statement that at one of the recent interracial dances, Price was there in company with a young white woman. Another lead which the defense is running down is a statement that several days before Christmas a white woman drove up to an upfront garage and inquired for a car. The defense is asking him effort to see the car驶 on the night of the allegation price. Price is said to have had his wife on "611" he drew $27.50 and that he gave the money to a white girl friend. Deny Dance Story Officials of the group sponsoring the recent inter-racial dances, however, declare that every girl or young woman at the dance was thoroughly known, and that the young woman that Price is alleged to have assaulted was unknown to the group. They see in the statement that Price was at one of the dances an attempt to give the dances a black Deserted Battalion Price declares that he was first assigned to the stevedore battalion but deserted from that unit after arriving in France. Afer traveling one day and a half he said that he found himself at the front in a sector occupied by the 15th New York Regiment. He said he told them that he was lost and entered the fighting with them. After two days on the front he was shot in the leg. He declared that a man by the name of Robert Skinner tied a string to his leg and then after walking away from him Skinner was himself shot and killed by a machine gun bullet.
