SAM WILLIAMS AWARDS SPOUSE $10.000 CASH
Long Drawn Out Tangles of Contractor and Wife Ended in Court
The long drawn out domestic affairs of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Williams, 2676 Adams street, were brought to a dramatic close in Superior Judge Charles Greenwald's court yesterday when an absolute degree of divorce was granted the husband, after opposing lawyers had wrangled for several weeks.
As a result of the decree, Williams was given his freedom, but before doing so he awarded $10,000 in property and cash to the wife voluntarily and without the court's instruction. For himself, he contented himself with keeping their beautiful residence at 2676 Adams street, a $25,000 shrine for many visitors.
Williams, whose personal fortune, amassed in the contracting business, is said to be nearly $100,000, charged his wife with cruel and inhuman treatment. She retaliated in a cross complaint charging the same thing. To make her happy and satisfied, Williams claimed that he did everything possible to honor the woman he gave his name, but was not appreciated for his efforts. He complained that he got tired of taking care of his wife's children, her three sons thru a former marriage. After sending one of the boys to school both here and in Paris, France, he saw that his kindness was not appreciated, he declared.
Williams was represented by Attorney Fritz W. Alexander, while the wife was represented by Attorney Blaz Lucas.
SEEKS MISSING CINCINNATI BOY
Cincinnati. The parents of Alden Atwood McLeod, a light-complexioned, 15-year-old boy, about five feet eight inches tall, have appealed to the newspapers and the general public to help them find their son who disappeared from his home Thursday, April 10. At the time of his disappearance he wore a dark blue suit, light grey hat, black shoes, a wrist watch, and a signet ring.
His father, D. W. McLeod, lives at 3611 Michigan avenue, this city.

Field Secretary of N. A. A. C. P. Urges Opposition to Parker Supporters
NEW YORK—Considerable interest has been aroused in Wichita, Kansas, by an address delivered by Robert W. Bagnall, Director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People before the local branch, in the course of which he urged colored voters to defeat Senator Henry J. Allen because of his vote in favor of Judge John J. Parker's confirmation.
The local white daily, the Wichita Eagle, published an extended account of Mr. Bagnall's address which bore the following headline: "Solons Who Backed Parker To Suffer at Election Time." The newspaper in its account of the address, which was devoted mainly to the work of the N. A. A. C. P., said: "The speaker did not devote much time to the Kansas Senator, but he made it clear that the Association is opposed to his renomination and reelection, because he led the fight in the Senate for a man who ten years ago flouted the Constitution of the United States as far as Negro rights are concerned."
A Scotchman was discovered wandering around Detroit with a pair of rumpled trousers over his arm. "Can I help you in any way?" asked a kindly citizen. "Man," replied the Scot, who was evidently a newcomer. "I'm looking for the Detroit Free Press."

"Community Comedies," a ministrel, presented by the Collegians of Stewart Memorial Settlement House, last Thursday evening at Froebel, was delightfully entertaining. The Froebel auditorium was packed to its full capacity, and the receipts were fully $100, and the audience was so pleased with the ministrel that a return engagement has been requested, which will be staged the last of this month.
The audience went into side-splitting convulsions of laughter, when Lieutenant Perry or Newlin Gilbert cracked a joke in their drawl manner. Lieutenant Perry and Newlin Gilbert, star comedians of the minstrels, are to be especially commended for their work.
The members of the cast were: minstrel boys: Lieutenant Perry, Newlin Gilbert, Jinnie Harrison, Venoy McCoy, Bill Williams, Sam Pierce, Lucius Smith, Alvin Fields, Felix Harris, John Thomas, Silas Burgess, Lafayette Brady, James Nash, Bill McCovey, Robert Pitts, Richarns Cheeks, and David Mitchell.

DEFENDER WINS IN LEGAL TILT
Chicago—The Appellate court of this district handed down a decision Tuesday in the long drawn out suit of Tony Langston, former dramatic critic and advertising solicitor of the Chicago Defender and that publication in favor of the Chicago Defender.
The suit which involved some $35,000 was brought by Langston to enforce payment on advertising contracts which he had consummated before his separation from the Defender. Langston was employed on the paper from 1922 until 1927. Attorney N. K. McGill, counsel for the paper, contended that Langston operated under a secret and illegal contract put into effect without the knowledge of the publisher. R. S. Abbott. The court upheld this view and in delivering the opinion which was concurred in by the other judges, justice Machett stated that in the judgment of the court the "contract was made in bad faith and was fraudulent and unconscionable."

Lake County commissioners may have to choose between nearly a half dozen men in selecting a successor to fill the place of Justice W. C. Hueston, who is reported contemplating giving up the job to accept a position in the District of Columbia, it was stated today.
Among those most frequently mentioned as possible prospects to fill the place to be left vacant by Justice Hueston are:
William E. Burrus, former councilman of the Third ward; Joseph H. Rapier, lawyer, and a candidate for the office in last month's primary; B. J. Laube, white, former justice of the peace; John W. Robinson, attorney, and a candidate last month for the office, and Fritz W. Alexander, also an attorney.
While these men are being considered and their names mentioned, only one of them directly denied that he would not seek the office. He was Attorney Alexander, who professed no interest at all in the rumor that his name was being mentioned.
Importance of taking care of his private law practice, he stated, would forbid him from having any interest in the prospects of being chosen as Hueston's successor. Burrus, however, admitted that his name was being mentioned. That he did not know whether he would be chosen was pointed out. Hueston to Quit. Justice Hueston, it is reported, plans to resign from the office to accept an appointment as an assist. (Continued on Page Four)

P. for three years are: Edsel Ford, Mr. and Mrs. Felix Warburg, Samuel Fels and Lieutenant Governor Herbert H. Lehman, of New York State. A friend of the Association who desired that his name be withheld, gave an additional $1,000 outright, without further pledge.
The offer of Mr. Rosenwald prompted a number of pledges of smaller sums including $250.00 a year for three years by Mrs. Alma Wertheim; $100.00 a year for three years by Mortimer Schiff, son of the late Jacob H. Schiff, increase by Paul M. Warburg, of his annual contribution from $25.00 to $100.00; and $20.00 a year for three years by Henry Morgenthu.

55 GOLD STAR MOTHERS WILL NOT TAKE TRIP
Respond To Appeal Made by National Association As Protest Action
New York.—No less than fifty-five Negro Gold Star Mothers have petitioned President Hoover urging that he overrule the War Department's color segregation order for the pilgrimage to soldiers' graves in France, and in the event that President Hoover refuses to act, declaring to take part in the Jim Crow pilgrimage.
The petitions of the Negro Gold Star Mothers have been forwarded to President Hoover by the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People which officially called the matter to the President's attention and asked that he overrule the War Department in the matter. The letter of the N. A. A. C. P. to President Hoover states that negotiations over a period of three months with the War Department brought the final ruling that the policy of color segregation on the pilgrimage to France would stand.
In their petition to the President, forwarded to him by the N. A. A. C. P., the Negro Gold Star Mothers call the attitude of the War Department a "gratuitous insult," state that loved ones were given freely and willingly at their country's call and continue:
"In the years which have passed since death took, our loved ones our anguish and sorrow have been assuaged by the realization that our loved ones who rest in the soil of France gave their lives to the end that the world might be a better place in which to live for all men, of all races and all colors.

SEE 'REVIVAL' OF KLAN THRU JUDGE DEFEAT
State Convention Defeats Justice Willoughby For High Court
By RODNEY QUICK
Staff Correspondent
Indianapolis.—Revival of the Ku Klux Klan in republican party politics was seen here today with the defeat of Justice Benjamin M. Willoughby for renomination to the state supreme court in the republican state convention.
Receiving only 19 of Lake county's 119 votes, Justice Willoughby was defeated by Judge Thomas Coulter, of the Knox county circuit court, an ardent Klan adherent and "dry" enthusiasm.
Judge Willoughby has been a bitter opponent of the Klan in Indiana all his life. In the days of Klan domination, he was one of the three justices sitting on the Indiana supreme court who opposed the Klan, insisted upon strict interpretation of "dry" cases and respect for the constitution.
Opposition to Justice Willoughby was led by Oliver Starr, Lake county prosecuting attorney, who characterized the magistrate as an ardent "wet." He is believed to have opposed him on that ground.
The defeat of Willoughby, how ever, struck terror in the hearts of many Negro politicians attending the convention here, especially those who are unwilling to tolerate the Klan and wish to see the evil or organization eliminated in G. O. P politics.
What effect the Willoughby defeat will have in causing republican Negroes to "bolt" the party in November was the subject of much speculation by delegates attending the political gathering here today. (C), 1930, The Gary American, Inc.

Mob Takes Victim From Jail; Lynches Him As Many Look On
By Exchange Press
Chickasha, Okla.—Lynch law took the life of Henry Argo, 19-year-old Negro youth, Saturday, May 31. Argo, who had been charged with attacking a white woman, is the third Negro to die at the hands of mobs in the southwest within the month.
Argo was alleged to have attacked the wife and small baby of G. W. Skinner, white farmer living in a dug-out about three miles from Chickasha. Arrested two miles from the city on a highway and brought to jail after identification by the woman. Argo vehemently denied any knowledge of the attack, said that he was innocent and that he was from Oklahoma City and on his way to Texas.
As soon as news spread of the alleged attack, and the arrest of Argo, a large mob formed shouting threats of violence against anyone that stopped them. They marched to the Grady County jail, burst through the heavy doors of the steel cell where Argo was confined. With crowbars, axes, iron pipes they started prying away the plaster and wood at the side of the door to make an opening.
Use Blank Cartridge
Machine guns with blank cartridges were turned on the mob during the height of the rioting and tear gas bombs were hurled by the National Guardsmen. The mob disconnected telephones to the jail. Then one of the members with a rifle took position in a tree and shot Argo. The bullet pierced his skull. Wrapped in a sheet he was carried from the jail to a hospital where it was said that attendants declined to receive him. Members of the mob did not attempt to molest Argo, believing that he was dead.
After a time, Argo was carried back to the jail where the rioting broke out again. This time G. W. Skinner, husband of the woman alleged to have been attacked, plunged a knife into Argo's chest as he lay on a cot in the jail. The mob set fire to a truck outside the jail and then stacked a pile of mattresses in a downstairs room, soaked them with gasoline and lighted the pile. The guardsmen came out, announced that the Negro prisoner was dead and carried his body out wrapped in sheets to a waiting undertaker's ambulance.
Argo was not dead when he was placed in the ambulance, but members of the mob thought so and the unconscious Negro was rushed to the University of Oklahoma Hospital, Oklahoma City, about 50 miles away, where he died from his wounds. Officers arrested Skinner and three others of the mob but they were released without bail by county authorities, Governor W. J. Howloway at Oklahoma City directed B. F. Holding, Grady county attorney, and J. Berry King, attorney-general, to take immediate action in prosecuting leaders of the Chickasha mob. The governor said he would insist upon immediate prosecution so "law and order might be upheld."

The Avondale celebrated its first anniversary Saturday night in its club room at 2449 Broadway. The party was attended by 119 persons including members and guest. Among the guest were the Misses Z. Johnson, F. Raglong, L. B. King, D. Lowe, E. Marcus, H. Stevenson, E. Dickson, O. G. Butler, Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. E. Boyd, Mrs. Sibley, Sharles Newson and O. H.

Jackson of Minneapolis, Minn.
Music for the party was furnished by J. R. Combs Jr. and his Club orchestra.

(By Jack Davis)
Charles H. Mason, manager of
the New Lincoln Gardens has been
giving the public some exceedingly
good entertainment, since the open-
ing on Decoration day. And from
all indications Mr. Mason has just
begun to give to the Lincoln Gar-
den patrons the best talent obtain-
able.
| “The Chicago Flashes,” a ripping
revue was received with enthusiasm
‘on the opening night. The honors
for this spicy, flashy, colorful ag-
gtegation of fun-makers are divid-
ed between Kid Brown, the master
of ceremonies, George W. Edwards,
Oliva Dixon, prima donna, Yvonne
Fuller, soubrette, Ernest Randell,
Robert Bell, Velma Wiggins, and
ten pretty maids.
Robert Bell, and Ernest Randell,
were certainly given a big hand on
the opening night, and this ovation
was well merited, for these two
clever steppers sure dance without
a caution, they just seem to thrive
on speed, and get faster each sec-
ond,
And as for George Edwards, the
black face monologuist he just too
bad, why he cracks some of the
most comical jokes ever heard and
reduced the patrons into hilarious
hysteria with his comic radio an-
ties. Mr. Edwards is considered
by eritics all over the world as Am-
erica’s foremost singing comedian
and ‘monologue artist, having tour-
ed Europe and South America with
“Show Boat.”
Olivia Dixon, prima donna, seems
to have a style of singing all her
own,'and its worth the price of the
admission to hear her, and little
tion period ive timed from days of
happiness to days of sorrow in the
homes of children who forget the
lessons of caution learned during
the seheol year,” the poster contin-
wes. “Renew your resolations to he
careful, now, so that vou will come
back in September well and hagpy.”
The first of the THT series of
sifety posters will be issued next
September when the schools reopen.
In Garden |
Yvonne Fuller, winsome child of
syncopation, wins the hearts of the
audience with her pleasing, saucy
way of singing which only she is
‘the queen,
| Forrest Dixon and those musical
aces of his scored heavily with
their mastery of jazz, Forrest cer-
tainly put over some pleasing num-
bers, and made a kiek back with
“My Baby Rocks Me with That
Steady Roll” as an encore just be-
fore the finale.
Kid Brown, the incomparable
master ef ceremonies was well re-
ceived by the Gary night lifers, ad-
jectives fail me in my praise of the
Keed, he's just too bad, he sings,
and dances and will steal the hon-
ors from Duke Ellington, as the
shiekiest sheik of jazz, if he doesn’t
look to his laurels.
And last but not least, six pleas-
ant to look at light footed damsets
are all that coud be desired as they
cavert on lighting feet in perfect
time to the pleasing melodies from
Dixon's orchestra, ‘These little
daughters of Eve are; Billie St.
Clair, Dorothy Roumania, Lelia
Wade, Mildred Irvin, Amanda
Moore and Velma Wiggins.
Billie Dunn, comic artist, and
Anna White, colorutura blue sing-
ers will join the revue Friday, Miss
Maud Ella Figgette, a veteran of
the stage was in the audience and
The Keed got the little lady to sing
a couple of numbers, which shows
that she is still in good condition.
Arthur J. Wiley, Billie Brown,
“Hot Shot Bygandi” and Little Miss
Young, all popular members of
Gary’s younger set were present at |
the delightful opening.

THIS WEEK'S EDITORIAL
From The Open Forum, Los Angeles, Calif., May 17, 1930 THE N. A. A. C. P.
The twentieth annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a most interesting document which looks modest, but contains within its brief compass the dramatic history of a heavily handicapped race emerging from shadow and commanding, through its own efforts, not only the attention and consideration, but the respect and admiration of the world.
The accomplishments of this organization are really amazing when one considers the amount of mob-thinking, ignorance and stupidity still in the country, much of it aimed at the dark American who has come along with us for a bout three hundred years.
The fight goes merrily on. Bit by bit it is won. There are left in the world now just two classes of people, decent citizens who wish to see the dark American get his rights and opportunities and those who do not. The decent citizens are still in the minority, but they have at the head of their list in the light complexioned race such people as Clarence Darrow, Jane Addams, Oswald Garrison Villard and many others, and in the dark race scholarly and intellectual men like Du Bois, cultured and human men like Pickens, brave and intrepid men like Walter White. We can only see greater success for the N. A. A. C. P.
All white people who want to see the colored man get a square deal should show their colors by supporting this organization financially and personally. Such encouragement is the least you can do if you are sincere. Join the nearest chapter. Find out the needs and plans of the association and do your bit that "injustice may perish from the earth."

The American public is taking to the air. Last year 90,000 persons made scheduled trips on passenger planes--double the 1928 number, and more will ride this year. The people are becoming air-minded. The airplane has ceased to be a novelty and has taken its place along with railroads, buses and automobiles as a standard mode of transportation. Little more than a year has passed since the modern passenger transport planes came into use. They are models of comfort, speed and dependability. Who can wonder that they are a popular means of travel?

The telephone industry must work constantly to meet present needs and prepare for demands of the future.
These expenditures are directly reflected in broader and better telephone service. The time necessary for installing telephones has been cut nearly in half in five years. "Wrong numbers" which are the faults of operators are all but non-existent. In a few minutes long distance connections can be made with a town 50 miles away or a country half across the world. Every dollar spent by the industry produces improved and extended service.
THE PROFESSIONAL REFORMER'S MONUMENT
A great barrier to crime prevention is the reformer. He continually asks for more laws, in spite of the fact that unenforceable and unnecessary legislation has become the great American joke. He cries, at one time, for stricter punishment for offenders, and at another for less punishment. Cold logic and intelligent analysis of facts mean nothing to him. He is ruled by his emotion. His monument is the tens of thousands of laws that now burden the statute books. It is a historic fact that most of the great reform movements have turned upon themselves and become boomerangs. The movement which culminated in the New York anti-revolver law is an example. A few months ago the Brooklyn Grand Jury petitioned for the law's repeal!
America's prisons are overpopulated, yet many of the worst criminals remain at large, practically immune from punishment by virtue of legal technicalities that make justice impotent. The law-passing mania has been productive of the greatest period of lawlessness in our history. Fewer fool laws and better enforcement; judicial procedure that finds out the facts, instead of discussing irrelevant technicalities; more efficient, better paid and better equipped police departments; quicker, surer arrests' and convictions of malefactors—in this direction lies crime prevention.

GAME PLENTIFUL
SAYS WARDEN
Indianapolis.—More pheasants and Wild turkeys will be produced at the state's big game reserve in Brown county this year than ever before in the opinion of state conservation department officials.
Walter Shirts, head of the fish and game division, says that at this time there are 340 young pheasants and 58 young turkeys, in the brooding pens, with 182 hens incubating pheasant eggs, 12 hens setting on turkey eggs, and 4 hens on wild duck eggs. Several hundred more eggs remain to be incubated.
The division recently liberated eighteen laying pheasants and 3 cocks at Turkey Run state Parks where natural reproduction will follow. Pheasants also have been liberated at Spring Mill and Shakamak state parks. It is hoped that these birds will nest in a wild state and in this event state properties where there are sufficient cover will soon see hundreds of these great birds.
The state warden protective service made 182 arrests resulting in 176 convictions of fish and game laws during the past month. Shirts reports. Among offenders, 73 were for use or possession of nets, spears, of traps, while 67 either hunted or fished without license. Fines and costs assessed totalled $3,891.85 with most of this going to the school fund in the county wherein the violation occurred.
The largest gain in automobile registrations for 1929 was 19.7 per cent in the District of Columbia.

Critics Now Say That the Ability of Renold Renfro, Skillful and
Self-Taught Colored Potter, Borders on Genius. :
By DONN BRYAN
twelve strenuous hours for as little as one dollar
a day.
This work was somewhat uncommon, so Renold
Renfro found it not only enticing but profitable
as well. He was experimenting with an idea
which clung tenaciously to the back of his brain
and from which he could not, to save himself,
completely escape. During the noon hour when
the other hands were ensconced in shade spots
where the glaring sun could not beat down upon
them, Renold Renfro found something to do and
did this energetically. Then the time arrived
when he decided to make the long contemplated
disclosure to his foreman; and he unhesitatingly
explained what he had accomplished. _More-
ovér, he demonstrated the truth of what he said
by displaying a beautiful piece of exotic pottery

said: . “Do
you meaneo tell me you did that?” and the manner in which he
bluntly voiced the question was anything but reassuring to Renfro,
Renold Renfro nodded in the affirmative and decided, during
the same interval, that he had better stick up for himself. Any-
how, a man of his ability had no reason to be meek and humble
to the point of submissiveness. “Yes, sir,” he pronounced with
surprising vigor, ‘this vase is the result of an experiment covefing
two years; and the idea belongs entirely to me.”
The foreman helped himself to another chew of tobacco,
and drawing himself up to his full height, observed quaintly:
“Dog-gone! Dog-gone! That’s downright purty. Yes sir-ce,
downright purty. But—do you ’low as how you can repeat the
operation with any degree of success? In other words, can you
take this clay here like we use to make brick, and duplicate this
vase you got here?”
Renold Renfro nodded acknowledgement. You see, this
ambitious youth had already made up his mind exactly what
course of action he was going to pursue, and there was no occas-
ion for excitement. He promptly left his job there at the brick-
yards and moved to Missouri, where he found the right kind of
clay and he has been there ever since.

ORTY-FIVE years ago when Renold Renfro
FH was working in the Mississippi cotton fields,
he suddenly decided that he had been
meant for a much more substantial pur-
pose; so he threw off the chains which bound him
to a hum-drum existence and set out to make the
‘world recognize his artistie talent. How he con-
ceived a way of. doing this and the degree of
-suecéss he has achieved provides an intensely
interesting story, considerably stranger than the
usual story of success.
Renold Renfro at the age of twenty-two was
employed at a brickyard where red brick was
manufactured. His work consisted principally of
pushing a wheelbarrow filled with clay and
dumping it, only to return posthaste for a second
helping. In those days laboring men put in

Alexander Cumby, whose passion for compiling scrapbooks has resulted in the accumulation of a rare collection of extraordinary and unusual facts about his race.
By John W. Douglas.
LET THOSE who consider the children's pastime, pay attention to Alexander Gumby. This scrap-books twenty-two years ago. The odds and ends that interested his thought worth saving. Of course his clippings are in a large part cof of Negroes. It was not long before Gumby with facts about the Negro race known to most of his friends. It was stumbled on a sad truth.
He found that Negroes, even then formed, had a very meager knowledge. When Gumby finally realized this, one of the race items that he could, regularly referred to the past, present or future. That idea was the basis of the Gumby the Negro depicted in scrap books.
LET THOSE who consider the keeping of scrap-books a children's pastime, pay attention to this story of Alexander Gumby. This man started compiling scrap-books twenty-two years ago. At first he just collected odds and ends that interested him—little items that he thought worth saving. Of course since he is a colored man his clippings are in a large part concerned with the doings of Negroes. It was not long before Gumby had become familiar with facts about the Negro race, facts that were little known to most of his friends. It was here that our friend stumbled on a sad truth.
He found that Negroes, even those relatively well informed, had a very meager knowledge of Negro history. When Gumby finally realized this, he decided to collect all of the race items that he could, regardless as to whether they referred to the past, present or future of the Negro race. That idea was the basis of the Gumby collection, a history of the Negro depicted in scrap books.
What a wonderful collection of items about Negroes this man has! Within the compass of sixty odd folios he has amassed material dealing with such topics as the Negro in Africa, slavery, Haiti, Liberia, current history, art, politics crime, anthropology, drama, music the N.A.A.C.P. and pugilism. There are also special books concerning Jack Johnson, Dr. DuBois, Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington.
It is a diversified and complete work. Of course it is impossible to adequately treat all of these topics within the limits of this short article. Our purpose will be to mention some of the interesting things that Gumby has collected just to show what his scrap books are like.
We have all given receipts for the sale of goods but how many have seen receipts given for the sale of human beings. Gumby exhibited a paper yellowed with age which acknowledged the payment of a sum of money for the sale of a Negro female slave. The woman was described with the same particularity as one would describe a typewriter. The white man who made the sale was so illiterate, that he had to make his mark instead of signing his name.
The subject of slavery in the United States forms an important part of the collection. Gumby showed copies of the American Anti-Slavery Almanac, published in 1836-37-38. In March, 1836 the Almanac states that a white man named George Storrs was arrested for delivering an anti-slavery address in a New Hampshire church. For the commission of this crime.

catechism which is in the form of questions and answers, which explains that this woman is killing her children rather than have them grow up in the bonds of slavery.
Of course in dealing with this subject, one cannot omit the life of the Great Emancipator. Gumby has a small pamphlet, published in 1860, which prints in full the famous Cooper Union speech of Lincoln. Perhaps some readers remember the sad tragedy of Lincoln's death. They may recall that the newspapers printed special editions edged in black mourning. These editions are regarded as rarieties today because so few are left.

French containing instructions from Toussaint L'Overture to his generals, an original letter written by Coleridge-Taylor, the famous Negro composer, and a manuscript by the eminent Reverend Alexander Crummell entitled, "Concerning Myself."
Whether all of our readers are interested in pugilism, I do not know, but Gumby's scrap book on Negro pugilists is worthy of note, aside from its sporting interest. When Jack Johnson (whom Gumby ardently admires) was signed to box Jeffries, the whole country was in a furor.
On turning the pages of this particular book we came across a clipping taken from a New York newspaper. The article was intended to show the difference between Johnson and Jeffries, from the view point of science. It was illustrated by showing the profiles of both men as contrasted with the profile of an ape. Jeffries was held to be furthest developed from the ape type, while great stress was put upon an alleged similarity between Johnson and the ape. The inference was, that Jefferies was the more intelligent and would easily defeat his opponent. Of course the result of that memorable contest at Reno is well known

The American Negro is rapidly being recognized as a powerful factor. Just recently certain London producers announced that Paul Robeson will play Othello in that famous play of Shakespeare's. Do not forget, however, that pioneer colored actor, Ira Aldridge, who played the part of Othello many years ago. He was a famous thesplan at a time when only white actors were considered competent to play Negro parts. Consequently Aldridge's rendition of the part was superior to many of the burntcork whites who essayed the role

Alexander Gumby began compiling Scrapbooks of Negro History 22 years ago. Now he has one of the choicest collections in existence.

Gumby has in his possession also many relics of former usage. In this picture appears an exotic looking vase and an exceedingly old-style piano. Gumby has several old theatre bills which were used to advertise the appearance of "Mr. Ira Aldridge."
While we are on the subject of the theatre, it would be well to note the scrap book on "The Negro Drama." To all lovers of the theatre this book would prove a rare treat. It is filled with clippings concerning the accomplishments of Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson, Florence Mills, Lee Whipper, Ira Aldridge, Bert Williams, and a host of others.

The Rise and Fall of Concrete BY SYLVAN DROWN A Thrilling Two-Part Story of a Champion Who Was "Too Good"
Starting Next Week—"Verna, The Irresistible"
Continued From Last Week
LAST INSTALLMENT
As was his nightly custom, Concrete visited Jennie at her home, which was near the outskirts of the city.
"Hello, big boy," she greeted. "How you feelin'?"
"Fine, my Black Beauty. I'm in the pink of condition and it's just another workout for your he-man."
And Concrete grinned as only he could grin.
Jennie coyly sat on the sofa and Concrete lost little time in whispering the words every woman loves to hear, whether white, black, yellow, or red! It was past ten o'clock when Concrete finally left his damsel. Usually he stayed until past midnight, but Manager Wright insisted that he be in the hotel by ten-thirty on the nights previous to his fights.
Just as Concrete reached a lumber yard, two masked men, with guns, stepped out; one spoke harshly: "Throw 'em up! Pronto, too!" Into the lumber yard, Concrete was marched. Although he was taken by surprise, it took Concrete but a moment to realize that his life was in danger. In the yard were three other men, also masked, and they grinned wickedly as Concrete stood before the leader.
"You're due for a buggy ride," he declared in a rasping voice! "What for?" asked Concrete. "I ain't done nothin'. If youse want my money, youse all kin have it. But I can't understand the fire works." "You can't. huh? Well, you will when we're through with you."
With that, the leader, who was none other than Cropsy, Willie Burns's right-hand man, winked at one of his henchmen, who immediately tied the black boy's wrists behind his back. He was then led to a wall in a remote part of the yard. "All right, boys," ordered the leader, let him have it."
Concrete was powerless to prevent what happened. Fists, covered with "horseshoe" rings, cut his face to pieces. Not one word was uttered by any of the men, nor by Concrete, for he had been warned that if he yelled, a bullet would finish him. The last Concrete remembered was a blackjack descending upon his head.
Tod Wright was pacing up and down the dressing room of the Twilight Boxing Arena. Never had the manager been so worried. He could not understand why Concrete had not returned to his room the night before. It was now ten o'clock and the semi-windup was half over. Wright had managed, somehow, to keep the news of Concrete's disappearance from becoming public, for he had implicit faith that his fighter would appear in time. Tod had spoken to Jennie, but it was beyond her to explain why her sweetheart had not returned to his home.
Ten seventeen! Wright groaned as he glanced at his watch. Any moment the semi-final would be over. Suddenly, he turned towards the door. It opened, and in walked Concrete—but a different Concrete from the one who had left him the previous night. He was swathed in bandages; one eye was completely closed, the other half-way; his nose was four times its normal size, and his ears were cauliflowered for life.
"Tell me, quick," velled Wright, "what happened."
Concrete lost little time in relating his story.
"And." the fighter concluded. "I was picked up this morning by two workmen of the lumber yard. An ambulance took me to the hospital, where they bandaged me up. I did not come to until a short time ago. I slipped one of the white coat boys a 'sawbuck' and he lets me loose."
"Oh. so you had money. eh?"

"Concrete swung his fist into the poor helpless waiter's face."
"Yassah, they didn't touch my money."
"I see! Well, we'll get to the bottom of that later. I think it best to ask for a postponement and sacrifice our $5,000 forfeit money."
"No suh!" declared the black boy, "I feel all right. I'll smack this fighter down pronto."
Concrete grinned again. "Anyways," he continued, "that mob learned me that word 'pronto' and I like it."
Wright was thinking. Although he ha little doubt but that his man would win if he were in perfect condition, it seemed almost suicide to allow him to fight under the present circumstances. "Why," he thought, as he watched Concrete change to his trunks. "his face looks like it's been hobnobbin' with a meat cutter." "Nothin' doing! You're not gonna fight tonight. I'll take you out front and show the dear ol' public what this town's gang presented you with." "Listen," declared Concrete in a slow even voice. "I'm fightin' tonight. I'm going to show that mob ho a real champion fights."
Wright looked into the champion's eyes. They were hard and there was that manner about him which foretold Wright that it would be useless to argue. Concrete slowly unwound the bandages and drew his bathrobe collar over his head. Wright smiled. "Gee," he breathed to himself, "I'd give my left eye for Mike Gibbons to see my champ tonight."
Concrete kept his head lowered as he walked down the aisle. The cheers rang out, for the fans as well as the newspaper writers had heartily declared he'd be the "fightinest" champion of them all. A few moments later. Concrete went to the center of the ring to receive instructions from the referee. His head was still lowered, for he knew that should the referee see his face, the fight would be postponed.
Back in his corner. Concrete faced Wright. his robe still protecting his face from the view of the fans and press. At the bell. Concrete whirled and dashed to the other side of the ring and took the Turkish champion
by complete surprise. A right cross to the head and a left hook to the stomach had Ahmend gasping for breath. "My God," cried a sports writer, who had covered boxing bouts for the last twenty years. "Look at Concrete's face!" But the rest of the fans, as well as other correspondents, had viewed Concrete's profile just as quickly.
The referee bit his lip, as he realized that he had pulled a blunder by allowing Concrete to fight. Allowing? Hell! The ebony one hadn't even discussed it. Well, he'd stop this bout right now.
But Concrete had other ideas. He had figured, in his own way, that the referee would send him to his corner the moment he saw his face. So there was only one thing to do, a speedy knockout—one that was bronto.
As the referee raised his hand to slap Concrete on the back, the colored boy shot over a terrific right to the point of the chin, and Turkey's hopes for a world's champion were eliminated right there and then, as far as

the middleweight division was concerned. The ovation Concrete received was one which lasted over ten minutes. Here was a man who had entered the ring when he should have been in a hospital. Wright, a great believer in publicity, had informed a few of the front seat boys and the press how his champion had been cowardly attacked. It may well be imagined how that news had spread throughout the arena.
Concrete was carried to his dressing room, where he noted that his manager was not present. Never before had Wright left him. There was a knock at the door, and an attendant informed the victor that Miss Jennie White was desirous of entering his sanctum. Five minutes later, lone photographer, was vibrant with excitement, as he made his way to his office, for he had the pictures of Concrete Brown, Middleweight Champion of the World, and Jennie White, in a famous clinch!
Tod Wright entered upon the blushing couple. "Give us a shake, Mr. Wright, whispered Concrete. "We're engaged."
Concrete hastily changed the subject by inquiring where Tod had been. "Oh," said the manager with a glint in his eyes, "I saw Willie Burns and I had a long talk with him. He's on his way to Canada or Mexico by now. You see, I had an idea that he was the man behind the job when you received that lacing last night. And after pumping him, he admitted it."
Concrete groaned.
"Why didn't you tell me, Mr. Wright; I'd have certainly given him a trip to the hospital. Ten minutes alone in a room with him and I'd have got my revenge."
"I know, Concrete," soothed Wright,
"how you feel. But I let him go for old time's sake. He and I were very close for a long while and I didn't relish sending him to jail."
A laugh rang out. And Wright was relieved.
"All right, Mr. Wright, you're the boss. I'm willin' to forget it. For, after ali. I have Jennie and everything else."
Concrete was like that!
****
Time brings many changes, and it did in Concrete Brown. He continued to win battle after battle, but success had gone completely to his head. He tasted the fruits of the King and enjoyed every moment immensely. He became unruly and uncontrollable. Wright was powerless to do anything with him. And as for training, that was virtually a thing of the past, unless it was just for the benefit of newspaper men or to show his prowess for his Queen, Jennie White. Wright would have given him the "gate," but his business acumen rebelled, for, after all, Concrete was a champion, and one who was making money for him. So, after a procession of arguments, Wright decided to let his once idol go his own way, hoping against hope that Concrete would some day come to his senses.
As for Jennie White, she gloried in her position. Life was all honey to her. Concrete gave her elaborate gifts, and everywhere she was feted as the champion's sweetheart. Other colored maidens gave her envious glances, which Jennie White loved—more than she loved Concrete Brown. But he never knew that, for he continued to spend all his money on his fiancee without ever a thought for the future, when he would be King no more.
One day Wright walked into a restaurant, when he heard Concrete's voice. The Negro champion was speaking in a nasty tone to a waiter. "Awful!"
"What's awful, sir?" asked the waiter.
"The fish—and you, too!" And bang! Concrete swung his fist into the poor helpless waiter's face. Down he crashed with half a dozen dishes on top of him.
"You all knew the fish was awful.

Next time I come in here again youse give me good fish, or they'll fish you out of the Hudson River." Wright was disgusted. To hit a defenseless man was an outrage, and the manager told Concrete so. "Oh, yeh? Well, ain't that just too bad." And he turned on his heel and walked out. Wright left the restaurant imme-

diately, but not until he had given the waiter a five dollar bill and paid for the dishes. Two days later, Wright matched his battler with Dusky Rhodes, another colored pugilist, who was coming fast. He had won every one of his last eighteen fights. When Wright told Concrete of the match, all Concrete said was, "I guess I'll knock him out easy." "Yes, you will-not," shot back his manager quickly. "This boy's good and I advise you to start training."
"You can advise, but that's all, for I ain't gonna train till I get ready, see?
Wright smiled. "I expected that. After this fight's over, you get a new manager. Now see to that!"
"All right, all right. I don't need no manager no how. I can manage my own affairs, I can."
"Well, we'll see!"
There was tense silence as Concrete Brown stepped through the ropes of the Twilight Boxing Club. Then there was an uproar. The people cheered and shouted. Their idol was again going to give them the action they had looked forward to so many days.
Concrete was full of smiles as he stood in his corner. He was happy. He was thinking. "With this money I get for this fight and what other money I have that I've betted on that I'd win this battle, I'll be able to marry Jennie." His eyes rolled.
Wright was taping Concrete's left hand and had started to reach for his right hand when Concrete let out hoarse groan. Quickly Wright looked at Concrete. The man had turned almost pink. His eyes were on the person who had entered the ring in the opposite corner.
"What's wrong?" asked Wright anxiously.
"Who's that man?"
"Dusky Rhodes. The man you're to fight."
"Oh," exclaimed Concrete. "That's Ignatz Robbins!"
"You must be mistaken. That's Rhodes. Wait, I'll ask him."
In a few moments Wright returned. "You're right, that is he. He used to call himself Robbins, but recently he changed his name to Rhodes. Why—"
Just then Dusky Rhodes walked up to the shaking Concrete and said: "I see you all recognize me, doncha?"
Concrete did not answer.
"Well," continued Concrete's opponent, "when this fight's over, you're going to be Concrete Brown but without the title."
"What's all this?" asked Wright, who was astonished at this conversation between the pugilists. "Only this," said the grinning Rhodes. "About four years ago, Mister Concrete and myself met in Savannah, and I knocked him out with three punches. This time I'll do it in two, or maybe one punch, huh, Concrete?" Concrete appeared as if he wished he was anywhere but there a that particular moment. The referee interfered before Concrete had a chance to answer.
After the referee gave his orders, the ring was cleared and the men went to their corners. Concrete's features changed. No longer was he confident or happy. The thought of that knockout by the man he was to fight now had scared him horribly. On the other hand, Rhodes was still grinning.
The gong!
Dusky leaped at Concrete and smashed him on his chin! Down went Concrete. He managed to arise at eight. Rhodes was at him like a tiger and again punched Concrete on the jaw. The referee counted the required ten. What Rhodes had said had come true—only two punches were necessary. The crowd was astonished, and after recovering from its surprise, cheered the new champion and almost as quickly forgot the man who had given ther more than their money's worth dozens of times.
When Concrete came to, he saw Jennie White in Dusky's corner. He walked over and said angrily, "What you doing here, Jennie?"
"Go away, man," she said. "Dusky is my old sweetheart. I married him today."
Concrete was heartbroken. His air castles had fallen, and all that remained were bitter memories. In the dressing room. Wright watched as Concrete, who acted like a man in a trance, slowly dressed. The exchampion's eyes were filled with tears and his mouth twitched. Finally he looked up.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wright, for the way I acted towards you. Will you forgive me?"
"Sure, Concrete." spoke Wright,
"I'm with you. We can start over again. As a fighting champion you are deserving of a crack at the title. I'll attend to that, believe me!"
Concrete smiled sadly. "Thank you, M. Wright, but I reckon I've got enough. I'm going back home, down South Some day, maybe, I'll return, but now I must say goodbye."
TRAINING THE CHILD By ELISE AYER
est illness on her part was sufficient cause in her mind to keep her daughter at home to do the house work. She was angered and surprised to learn that this was not her right. Better schools have stricter rules. Obedience to them is the price to be paid. More lessons and better results are required and, with the aim of comin always in mind, the parent should co-operate closely.
Neater appearance and sounder health standards should be welcomed by the parent. The privilege of living in the more enlightened parts of the country brings with it more responsibilities.
After the school the mother should look for the public library. There her children will find good books to take home and read; and cheerful rooms to quietly use those books which cannot be removed. There is no excuse for soiling, tearing or otherwise destroying public books. Mothers should teach their children that this takes pleasure away from other children. Should books be lost, children should be trained to report the matter promptly to their mothers. They should personally see to it that the books are found or paid for.
Recently, many schools have had to help the libraries enforce their rules. In one instance, a child in an eighth grade had kept a book out a whole year and ignored all the attempts of the library to recover its property. This child finally stayed away from the library and gave up the valuable privilege, rather than pay for the lost book. The worst feature was the indifference on the part of the mother. The proper use of these great institutions: the school and the library, should be taught to children by their parents.
In many large cities, there exist (Continued on Page Six)

MORE PRIVILEGES-MORE RESPONSIBILITIES.
We read that one of the main reasons given for Negro migration from the South is this: Parents leave their homes to get better chances for education for their children. A splendid and worthy motive for the hard task of going into a new community among people with different customs and ideas.

The biggest job, as they soon learn, is to cling to this fine aim. There is
is to cling to this Elise Ayer fine aim. There is much to pull down this ambition. At first, the business of getting a job that will provide money for housing, food and clothing crowds out all other thoughts. Once the father has succeeded in that, the mother can begin her home making. Thereafter it will be up to her largely, to stretch out into the community and gather in all the good the new community has to offer.
The school, of course, will be the first of these. Most mothers see to it that their children live up to the standard of punctuality and regularity. But there are many cases like that of one mother from the South whom I recently saw. The slight-

ANSEL CLARK
Slave, soldier, constable, deputy
sheriff, humane officer—around these
titles revolve the life and history of
Ansel Clark of the little city of Port-
age, Wisconsin. Bald, a bit feeble
and with the lines well drawn about
his face, this former slave who is now
county humane officer is, in the flesh,
only an image of his pictures of half
a century, or even of two decades ago.
But his spirit has not suffered; it may
have been meliowed by age but it is
still vigorous.
Mr. Clark was born sometime in
April (he doesn’t remember the exact
date) about a hundred years ago. De-
Soto county, Mississippi, is his birth-
piace: Having been born into slavery,
is mother was parted from him be-
fore he had a chance to learn from
her the exact date of his birth. When
asked about his natal date, Mr. Clark
mischievously states that he “cele-
brates the whole month of April” as
his birthday.
For sixteen years Ansel Clark has
been humane officer of Portage, and
up to this day he trudges down town
every ay see that the animals, es-
pecially the horses, are not ill-treated.
He likes his work though the walk is
a rather taxing one for a centenarian.
But Mr. Clark being vigorous for one
of his age does it with surprising ease.
He carries his cane (pictured above)
nore as an adornment than as an

He has had an eventful life, and

Pwas exceedingly energetic during the
Civil War. He escaped from the pris-
on camp near Arkansas in the thick
of the fray and returned to his mas-
ter’s home in Mississippi; but condi-
‘tions were worse there so finally he
fled to Augusta, Ga., and joined the
Northern forces. He has been jack-
of-all-trades, having chopped trees,
cooked and cared for the sick and
was many times dangerously exposed
to the fire of the enemy.
Mr. Clark has worked for even $15

at the same time he was busily en-

then on his life has been filled’with
strange and unusual happenings.
Everythine he says is tinged with
well-seasoned philosophy, a little faint

is not a bit eager to enter the “pearly

right, but we don’t know; nobody has
ever come back to tell. This world is
a pretty nice place after all.”

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 7, 1930
Dr. Bunker's Hand-writing Analysis
: By DR. M. N. BUNKER
Nationally Known Grapho-Analyst
THE VALUE OF HANDWRITING
ANALYSIS
“What does handwriting analysis
do?” and “What does it offer to the
man or woman who wishes to study
ii?” are questions that I am con-
stantly being asked.
Handwriting analysis does one
thing. It gives the writer of a hand-
writing specimen an opportunity to
see the defects in his own nature, to
learn the possibAties or talents that
he has, and so make something worth
while out of his life.
Chas. P. Steinmetz, the great elec-
trical wizard, found the one field
where he could make a success and as
a result gave us some of the most
astounding electrical developments
that man has ever had. On the other
hand, if he had been trained to be
a preacher or a lawyer, he would have
been an utter failure because his
natural talent was along the me-
chanical or creative line.
It is equally true that there are
thousands upon thousands — count-
less thousands — of men and women
who are miserable and unhappy in
the work they are doing, simply be-
cause they are not doing the one
ee for which they have been
fitted.
Now the man or woman who is
trained to make such an analysis or
determine what the truth is, as told
by handwriting, has a field that is
uncrowded, and that gives a wonder-
ful opportunity for service to others.
In Germany and in France, the
trained Grapho-analyst fills an im-
portant piace in the business, social
and professional life of a neighbor-
hood and this is coming to be the
case in this country.
Grapho-Analysis is going to be
| Tecognized as a profession, just as law
and medicine are now recognized as
professions. These latter two deal
with the physical plane, whereas the
grapho-analyst deals with the mental
and so helps men and women find
| Success and happiness in life.

Masterpieces of Exotic Art
Continued from Page One
Fashions in pottery change as
Tapidly as the creations of feminine
attire; and one needs but a solitary
glance at the unique display of un-
equalled pottery to convince one that
Renold Renfru is more than equal to
the most prolific efforts of our mod-
ern gown designers.
During the summer months of the
year and frequently in the winter.
hundreds of tourists visit this pictur-
esque spot in Southeast Missouri ana
leave with the picture clinging like
e, leach to their minds—the picture of
the unusual phenomena of trees
sprouting pottery from their branches
gray bulks which are antiquated
log cabins, smoky kilns, and_ the
pleasant face of the molder of clay--
indeed a picture to be remembered.
Here at this pottery plant, one sees
an intensely interesting parade of
Pitchers, vases. trays, candlesticks.
urns. busts and figures of ancient
statesmen; and the heroes of my-
paclogy pass within range of one’s ob-
servation.
The first favorable impression is
one that cannot be shaken off. No
matter where your travels have take.
ee no matter into what country you
ave gone, you realize that you have
never seen before such a conglom-
eration of artistic accomplishments
-as these which have been carved
from these crude materials.
Additionally one beholds practical
earthenware which should be used 1
the kitchen of the modern home,
made to contain water and food in the
same way as the mysterious mound
builders This assortment of orna-
ments and ingenious objects is neat-
ly arranged in conspicuous location:.
One is not slow to realize the value
of these objects d'art when once
they have been carefully examined:
still Renold Renfro does not sell by
mail, nor does he respond tc inter-
rogative letters. HVery piece of pot-
tery he makes is sold there on the
old home place.
There is a glamour of romance
woven about the fantastic shapes, the
motley colors, the heads in relief—
and there is romance twined about
the life of the talented dark-skinned
artisan.
It has required strength of charac-
| ter, determination, the conquering of
bitter hardships to continue the
[dreams of forty-eight years ago, but
that is what Renfro has achieved.
Located on a country road thre2
miles from the noises of a traffic-
bartered town, where it is stiil and
quiet, and where in the summer time
silver fish splash in the cool waters
of deep streams and where brown
gloom thickens when the twilight
comes, and where fireflies blast the
solid blackness of the night, theso
marvellous pieces of art grace the
spaces.
_ The pottery maker has traveled
extensively in quest of further knowl-
edge, but has allowed nothing to in-
pettere with the originality of his
plan.
A piece of Renfro pottery is as un-
-mistakably distinct as the machinery
with which it is made. The fire that
heats and hardens the clay has leit
its mark on the face of the admir-
able worker.
There is the rattle, the clang, the
ripping tear of machinery; the clanx
ef the harness chains, the unceasing
thud of hoofbeats of the tireless
draught horses traveling their end-
less circle around a crude mill in
which the clay is mixed, dragging a

The trees are, filled with crockery
while the wallsf the cabins are lined
with wares of different sorts; these
objects cling in stirring variety; a
few churns, some vases, several asn
trays, a lamp, urns, jugs, pitchers.
crocks; candle-holders wall orna-
ments, Fonnine old men and gro-
tesque, leering death masks; these
are the staples.
Renold Renfro discussed how som
women visitors declared they would
not soil their hands in the dirty,
clayey stuff—and yet, as he pointe
out so clearly, those very same ws-
men would go to the nearest beauty
parlors and pay exorbitant prices to
have clay put upon their faces.
The beauty of those _ iridescent
shades were brought forth from the
ground—the vivid contrast between
the finished product and the crude
ways of achieving that same; the asn
heaps all about, a pot-beltied stove
of ancient origin; from the crotch of
a tree a diabolically grinning face
hung by a wire, yet artistic to the last
degree. =
And therein lies success, even
though not in the weight of accumu-|
lated riches, but rather in the weight
of real accomplishment.
Renold Renfro as done much t9
establish the talents of a colored man
who for a long time was deprived
of the advantages necessary to the
pursuit of an artistic career, but he
nas ccme through on sheer «pluck
alone.

Of all the things that I would say
in my suggestions on how to be
healthy and also beautiful, there is
ene thing that I can assure you will
work marvels in both physical health
and in the happiness of the soul.
Learn to smile. You may think it
funny but 2 smile is just as much a
medicine as a grouch or a frown is
a poison. Think over the people that
you know. There are some possibly
who are always smiling and still are
unhealthy, but the majority of people
who have learned how to smile keep
in pretty good physicai condition.
Here and there though you will
find a man or woman who is always
grouchy. They are unpleasant, they
are. snappish and if you will look
them over carefully you will find that
they are also usually complaining of
something the matter with them or
maybe you think that the condition
of their health has caused the grouch
but a good many times you will also
find that the grouch has caused the
unhealthy condition. For this rea-
son, I want to say to you ladies who
want to keep pretty and you men who
want to keep healthy that there is
nothing much more important that
you can do and that costs you less
than to learn to smile.
The doctors have a lot of long
terms that they use in telling about
the reason why a smile helps to make
you healthy and pretty but we can
lay aside all the mystery of their lan-
guage and know that this is a fact; a
smile does do something to the hu-
man body that is curative. It helps
to alleviate or drive away pain. It
helps to build up health, and it also:
nelps to build up happiness and hap-
piness means beauty nine times out)
of ten. |
You may have to fake some of the
smiles that you use. Over a break-
ing heart cr an unhappy life you may)
have to put. ae a false front but that
false front helps to sell you to people
and that sale is bound to make
you friends and those friends will
give you something to smile about.
Therefore, no matter what advice you
may find in this column, take this
one lesson and keep it; learn te
smile,

POINSETTIA SALAD
Peel orange and separate into sec-
tions frec from membrane. Place
Philadelphia cream cheese in the cen-
tre of a bed of lettuce. Arrange 5
or 6 orange sections around the
cheese to resemble the petals of the
poinsettia, putting thin slices of pi-
mento on tor of each section. The
strips of pimento may be curved to
represent a cane and will make a
more effective decoration. Serve
with mayonnaise in the centre of
the cheese and decorate with pieces
of green pepper cut in diamond
shapes.
