THE MARTYRDOM OF FIRST TO DIE FOR A Heroic Slave, Who Fell For Colonists in the Great S Colored Americans Part in Every THE MARTYRDOM OF CRISPUS ATTUCKS FIRST TO DIE FOR AMERICA'S FREEDOM A Heroic Slave, Who Fell Fighting With the New England Colonists in the Great Struggle for Independence. Colored Americans Have Played Valiant Part in Every War of the U. S. By LILLIAN LEWIS FEURTADO In 1750 when the town of Fra dotted with small plantations, whi Massachusetts, a commotion was upon the discovery that one of the his manhood and his liberty loving They styled this right to freedom as having "ran away." Now noble of Crispus Attucks will accuse him or anybody. He was, in the first p 27 years of age who had good be good trades in cattle for his master- ment of Crispus. In the second p up his mind to take his, without a beaver skin coat, brown fustian ja yarn stockings and checked wooler knock-kuees turned his back upon cattle, and the old cellar in which lowed where his fancy led. He was six feet, two inches in height; his l of huge bodily proportions and bripus Attucks, a descendant of John spicuous in the events of 1676, w with Colored people who were slaves. In 1750 when the town of Framingham, 20 miles from Boston, was dotted with small plantations, when American settlers held slaves in Massachusetts, a commotion was raised one day late in September upon the discovery that one of the slaves of Deacon Brown had asserted his manhood and his liberty loving rights and had deserted his master. They styled this right to freedom a crime, and advertised the slave as having "ran away." Now nobody who has a good mental portrait of Crispus Attucks will accuse him of "running away" from anything or anybody. He was, in the first place, an intelligent young man, about 27 years of age who had good business ability and who drove many good trades in cattle for his master, who left much of this to the judgment of Crispus. In the second place, he believed in liberty and, made up his mind to take his, without his master's leave. Clad in a light beaver skin coat, brown fustian jacket, new buck skin breeches, blue yarn stockings and checked woolen shirt, a tall, heavy set fellow, with knock-knees turned his back upon the Deacon's plantation and its cattle, and the old cellar in which he and his relations lived, and followed where his fancy led. He was a mulatto in complexion, he stood six feet, two inches in height; his hair was short and curly, he was of huge bodily proportions and brave to recklessness. This was Crispus Attucks, a descendant of John Attucks, an Indian who was conspicuous in the events of 1676, whose family naturally intermarried with Colored people who were slaves, thus making the offspring also slaves. In the History of Framingham by J. H. Temple, he writes in full detail about the Boston Massacre that happened twenty miles from that town, but he gives as his reason for doing so that "the principal character in the bloody affair was a Framingham man." Crispus Attucks was born in Framingham and Framingham in its authentic history proudly claims him as a Framingham man. For twenty years Crispus Attucks wandered where he pleased He was a lover of the sea, and no doubt he sailed about with masters of vessels, until he happened to reach Boston, for, on the day of the Boston Massacre, his companions were sailors. Boston was the town selected by the English in which to make themselves obnoxious to the Colonists. The New England spirit of liberty was too fast asserting itself, petitions to the Governor, petitions to the Legislature, Conventions, Speeches, Mass Meetings, Committees to present petitions, and the same lot of persistent efforts that we the Colored people of America, are carrying on at the present time, were carried on by the oppressed colonists at that period, in their fight for justice and civil rights. General Gage, commander-in-chief of the British forces in New England, was a man who did not conceal his dislike for Colored people. He encouraged his soldiers in the disrespectful attitude they assumed toward the Bostonians, when they marched into the city on a Sunday encamped on Boston Common, took possession of the State House, of Faneuil Hall, set up barracks at Brattle Street and Water Street, planted their cannon and challenged the residents wherever and whenever they pleased. On the Friday before the Massacre the soldiers had beaten several citizens and indignation was growing and an outbreak seemed imminent. Their speeches, their protestations, petitions—everything—had been ignored, just as most of ours are ignored in a similar fight for fair play and cessation of injustice, and the last resort became the first bold stroke. On Monday, March 5, 1770, in the evening, about 9 o'clock, when the streets were covered with snow, and the sky was clear, and the pale cold moon shone over all, the soldiers were attacking and insulting passers-by, striking them with sticks or sheathed cutlasses and in every conceivable way annoying and threatening them. Several clashes took place, and in Brattle Street, at the corner of the alley, there was a big fracas. It drew a big crowd, excitement ran high, bells were rung, people ran from all quarters, and armed with billets of wood, with snow balls and cakes of ice threw them at the soldiers and dared them to fire, although they aimed their guns. Just eight minutes before the big tragedy that was to set the seal upon America's Independence, Crispus Attucks, then 47 years of age, whose big frame and deter- ramingham, 20 miles from Boston, was when American settlers held slaves in it was raised one day late in September. The slaves of Deacon Brown had asserted rights and had deserted his master from a crime, and advertised the slave body who has a good mental portrait him of "running away" from anything in place, an intelligent young man, about business ability and who drove many other, who left much of this to the judge's place, he believed in liberty and, made it his master's leave. Clad in a light jacket, new buck skin breeches, blue den shirt, a tall, heavy set fellow, withoon the Deacon's plantation and its he and his relations lived, and foll was a mulatto in complexion, he stood a hair was short and curly and he was brave to recklessness. This was Crislhn Attucks, an Indian who was con- whose family naturally intermarried slaves, thus making the offspring also mined face were enough to terrify anybody, as John Adams afterward said, was in Cornhill at the head of 20 or 30 sailors, with a large cord-wood stick in his hand. The crowd moved to Dock Square and when the bells at the head of King Street rang he was there shouting: "The way to get rid of these soldiers is to attack the main guard; strike at the root; this is the nest." The soldiers were brandishing their arms with insolence. Captain Preston who was officer of the day, came on the scene. Bells were vet ringing, the din was becoming tumultuous and amid the roar of voices, the clang of bells, the clash of sticks against the threatened arms, some one either gave the order to "fire" or soldiers thought they heard the order to "fire" and at the first shot Crispus Attucks fell, dead. Samuel Gray and Jonas Caldwell were also killed. Samuel Meverick and Patrick Carr were mortally wounded. Blood was mixed with snow, blood of the colored man and blood of white men, was shed for the redemption of America from the British oppression. Attucks and Caldwell having no home in Boston were removed to Faneuil Hall, the cradle of American Liberty, which cradled the dead body of our Crispus Attucks. Hundreds of visitors came to Faneuil Hall and to the homes of Maverick and Gray to express their sympathy. The funeral was held on Wednesday, March 7th. There were muffled drums and tolling bells not only in Boston but in the surrounding towns. Shops were closed and it was a day of great mourning. Four hearses and a long line of coaches belonging to the most distinguished families and filled with distinguished people proceeded to the Granary Burying Ground on Tremont Street, where the bodies are buried in one grave, side by side. It is said that a greater number of persons assembled on this occasion than were ever gathered on the continent for a similar purpose. In the meantime a Justice Court was immediately held. Captain preston was put in prison and the eight soldiers who had fired. A town meetings was held by the citizens in Faneuil Hall. A committee of 15 was appointed to wait on Gov. Hutchinson and Col. Dalrymple to express the sentiments of the people and a fervent prayer for removal of troops. Does it not remind us of our fervent prayers for removal of segregation holes in our midst? The 29th Regiment had taken no part in the Massacre. The Governor removed the 29th Regiment. Will history repeat itself? Will the answer to our fervent prayer be similar? The giving to us of what we ask not, while withholding what we ask? The anniversary of the Boston Massacre was observed on the 5th of March each year thereafter until THE INTER-STATE TATTLER July 4 was subtituted as Independence Day. There was a great solemnity on that day and eloquent orators spoke on the blessings of liberty and the horrors of slavery. Four years after, when John Hancock, signer of the Declaration of Independence, was orator at the anniversary he exclaimed: "Do not the injured shades of Maverick, Gray, Caldwell, Attucks and Carr attend you in your solitary walks: arrest you in the midst of your debaucheries and fill even your dreams with terror?" Five years after the bloody affair Judge Dawes said: "The provocation of that night must be numbered among the master springs which gave the first motion to a vast machinery—a noble comprehensive system of national independence" On the sixth anniversary Gen. George Washington, making the rounds of his intrenchments in Boston said, while addressing his men: "Remember it is the 5th of March and avenge the death of your brethren." Crispus Attucks plays no small part in the tragedy that preceded the birth of American independence. His name in its connection with American history is immortal. We should immortalize it by celebrating the anniversary of his martyrdom, March 5, of this year and every succeeding year. On Boston Common stands a monument erected to the memory of the heroes of the Boston Massacre. It is called "The Crispus Attucks Monument." The agitation for the erection of this was started by William C. Nell. The face representing Crispus Attucks is carved in the likeness of the late Lewis Hayden, it is said. He was another Colored abolitionist and a former slave. The figure of the woman at the summit is said to be that of a Boston Colored girl, Mary Smith, who was considered very beautiful. At the unveiling of the monument the silken cord was pulled by Lillian Chappelle the title daughter of the late Julius C. Chappelle, who at that time was from 5 to 6 years old. She is now grown up and the widow of a young Philadelphia named Benjamin. On the bronze bas relief of the monument are these quotations: "From that moment we may date the severance of the British Empire." --Daniel Webster. "On that night the foundation of American Independence was laid." --John Adams. Each year the Boston Equal Rights League places a wreath on the grave of Crispus Attucks and those buried with him, and also hangs a wreath on the Crispus Attucks monument, with public exercises. On the memorial stone placed over the grave are these lines: "Long as in Freedom's cause the wise contend. fame extend; While to the world the lettered stone shall tell Where Caldwell." Attucks and Meverick fell." By WM. MUNROE TROTTER By WM. MUNROE TROTTER The U. S. is not a "White Man's Country." It had to be created by severance from Great Britain which took soldiers and fighting. Colored soldiers were used in its birth and creation and have been used in all wars to preserve and enlarge it. So the U. S. A. belongs to both white and black forever.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday. President Coolidge was inaugurated President in his own right today by overwhelming mandate of the people. For the first time in nineteen months the country has a Vice President. Standing at the historic spot where a long line of predecessors have taken the sacred oath, President Coolidge bent and kissed the Bible in the hands of Chief Justice Taft and delivered his inaugural address. President Coolidge took the oath at one o'clock P. M. and Vice President Dawes took the oath at fourteen minutes past twelve o'clock P. M. OATH FOR PRESIDENTS FIXED BY CONSTITUTION Washington, March 4th (Associated Press). The oath of office Despite the President's firm stand for a lack of expensive display, which had reduced the ceremony to the last degree of simplicity, it still was a marked contrast from the midnight moment of nineteen months ago, when, roused from sleep by the news of President Harding's sudden death, he took the same oath by the glow of an oil lamp in his father's Vermont farmhouse. The President's father, Colonel John Coolidge, stood near him today and gathered close by were Mrs. Coolidge, with her mother, Mrs. Goodhue; members of the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, ranking officers of the army and navy, members of the diplomatic corps and members of the Congressional Committee in charge of the inaugural arrangements. A March sun which had promised to flood the ceremonies with a glorious light was overcast by gathering clouds as the hour of inauguration drew near. The official party was shielded by a large steel canopy. Bowing his head over his grandmother's Bible, the President took the oath at one P. M. precisely. Chief Justice Tatt read the words of the obligation, which he himself had once assumed, in a voice that could be heard well by the crowd, as Mr. Coolidge stood silently with upraised hand. His "I do" at the end was hardly audible outside the stand. Then he bent his head and kissed the Bible, and the great throng recognized him with a cheer that another administration had been ushered in. --- Oath Read by Taft Page 3 OATH FOR PRESIDENTS FIXED BY CONSTITUTION Washington, March 4th (Associated Press). The oath of office of the President of the United States is prescribed by the Constitution, and in that form has been pronounced by every President from Washington to Coolidge. It is as follows: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." When President Coolidge first took the oath at Plymouth, Nt. after the death of President Harding, he added: BUSINESS MANAGER M. A. A.

What is true at Albany is equally true at Washington and at all the State capitals. The Bronx speaker objected strongly to the activity of the Churches in proposing and urging legislation, on the ground that in our system of government Church and State are absolutely separated, and should be kept so. When the Church fails to convince the people by moral suasion that they are doing wrong, the speaker contended, it fails of its mission, and is not justified in going to the legislature for coercive legislation to cope with what it may consider a danger to the public welfare. Legislatures are supposed to make laws within constitutional warrant to meet every danger to the public welfare that their members may think necessary. When these members, who are elected by the people, are importuned to enact legislation which curtails the privileges of citizens, and are often rushed off their feet by the Church lobbyists, they place themselves in the offensive position of the lobbyists of special interests, who are thoroughly discredited. Child welfare is strictly a matter for State regulation and control. If it had not been so Congress would not have had to ask the States to consider and endorse a Constitutional amendment to enable that to be done which is now not authorized by the Constitution. It was that way with Woman Suffrage and Prohibition. The electorate were not asked to pass judgment on these vital questions. Snap judgment was taken, and a large part, if not a majority, of the voters are even now dissatisfied with the workings of the two last measures, although covered by Constitutional enactment, and they would be so with the Child Welfare amendment, if it should be obtained by snap judgment and not by direct vote of the people. Just now there is much discussion about censoring the plays in the theatres, the books that publishers shall issue, and the right of persons to use tobacco. All these measures have been or are fathered by the Church people. Most of the questions come within the police powers of the States, and not of the Federal Government, and most citizens believe they should remain where they belong. It is necessary, if our system of government is sure to revive, that "the rights not delegated to the Federal Government, but reserved to the states," shall not be interfered with without good and sufficient reason. Concentration of powers in the Federal Government is the most dangerous tendency of the times. If a stop shall not be put to it our whole system of government will be subverted. Censorship of the theatres, the newspapers and books issued by publishers will lead to the destruction of such personal rights as remain in the control of the States and not delegated to Federal Government. The tendency has travelled a long way in the past quarter of a century, and it still has enough headway to destroy our system of government. Do the Churches desire that? They do not care, as long as they can compel others to adopt their straight-laced standard of living. But others have an equal right to insist that Church people should adopt their standard of living. But they do not do so. They leave the Church people to attend to their concerns, and they are beginning to insist that the Church people leave them alone to attend to their own concerns, and they are justified in the position they take, and will take more decisively as we go along. "LAUGH AND THE WORLD LAUGHS WITH YOU; WEEP AND YOU WEEP ALONE" HE bright side of life appeals to every reader of The Inter- State Tattler. The younger you are, just beginning perhaps to look out upon the world and all its wonders, the greater the appeal. The dark side of life does not appeal to many, and yet some people look upon no other side. They are constitutionally unable to do so. They have not the strength to say, "Get thee behind me, Satan," and to compel the THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Old Rascal to obey the command. While they protest against the strength of character to the bright side. There is a great deal of sunshine and beauty if we but away. And all about us we have artificial beauties created by beguile us. There is no dark is blurred by some extraneous because we lack the spirit. Some have it, many of us, and lives, shed much of it upon contact. We have seen such and dispel the gloom in the quires effort: What good and we often do not appreciate the to us without effort on our pamisery and scandal among the we appreciate all the more to which we have to labor hard. Each can answer out of his own. The lines of Ella Wheeler human heart, "Laugh and the and you weep alone," has a po so much gloom in every life do not smile, defy and fight it is safer than to drift into the o ing a brave effort to live in to obey the command. This is their protest against the dark side of life the bush of character to break away from it inside. Is a great deal of sunshine in living. If beauty if we but have the eye to see it all about us we have the beauties of natu- beauties created by the genius of man, the There is no darkness unless the vision by some extraneous matter which we can lack the spiritual and physical power, it, many of us, and they have much sun- ness much of it upon those with whom thou We have seen such people smile through the gloom in the life of others by so do it: What good and useful things does not not appreciate the good and useful things but effort on our part. That is why there is scandal among the idle rich. The thou state all the more those good and useful have to labor hardest? Is the theory a answer out of his own experience. Les of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who had a art, "Laugh and the World laughs with deep alone," has a powerful human appea- room in every life that despair will creep de, defy and fight it to the finish. Yes, to drift into the darkness and be lost wi- e effort to live in the sunshine, or a large Old Rascal to obey the command. This is their misfortune. While they protest against the dark side of life they have not the strength of character to break away from it and look on the bright side. There is a great deal of sunshine in living. Life is full of sunshine and beauty if we but have the eye to see it in a normal way. And all about us we have the beauties of nature and the artificial beauties created by the genius of man, to allure and beguile us. There is no darkness unless the vision of our sun is blurred by some extraneous matter which we cannot control, because we lack the spiritual and physical power to do so. Some have it, many of us, and they have much sunshine in their lives, shed much of it upon those with whom they come in contact. We have seen such people smile through their tears and dispel the gloom in the life of others by so doing. It requires effort: What good and useful things does not? In fact, we often do not appreciate the good and useful thing that comes to us without effort on our part. That is why there is so much misery and scandal among the idle rich. The theory is that we appreciate all the more those good and useful things for which we have to labor hardest? Is the theory a safe one? Each can answer out of his own experience. The lines of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who had a great big human heart, "Laugh and the World laughs with you, weep and you weep alone," has a powerful human appeal. There is so much gloom in every life that despair will creep in, if you do not smile, defy and fight it to the finish. Yes, fight it. It is safer than to drift into the darkness and be lost without making a brave effort to live in the sunshine, or a large part of it. The Way of the World BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE ES; the way of the wor most people drift into and are dragged into the way of the world is not always the best people drift into it and often swept o are dragged into the mud of life. ES; the way of the world is not always the best way, but most people drift into it and often swept off their feet and are dragged into the mud of life. We are all gratified that after two years of struggling and waiting Congress has passed and the President has signed the Postal Employees' Pay Increase bill. They deserve the increase, $300 a year more than they are now receiving, as they have been the lowest paid and hardest worked of the employees of the Federal Government. The Standard Life Insurance Company may pass out of control of the Race into control of a white insurance company and Brown and Stevens may go into the hands of a receiver, in Philadelphia, with some 6,000 depositors dancing and jumping up and down in despair because the private bank failed to protect them and their interests, but the Race cannot afford to lose confidence in its insurance companies and banks on that account. There are plenty of such failures among the white group all of the time, but they do not lose confidence, they do not become discouraged; they need and must have insurance companies and banks. So do we need them, need them badly, and need more of them than we have. It is our business and to our best interests to remember this hard cold fact, and take failure like success as matter of course. We must keep on fighting for our share of the economic values we create and so small a part of which we really control and enjoy. The bad Colored Folks of Harlem, who go a-looking for trouble, usually find the trouble they seek. It is a pity that we have so many bad people in Harlem. They keep the good people of the Race in an anxious state of mind and the police authorities busy. Winthrop D. Lane has been making a survey of Harlem for the Survey Graphic. He finds that the Afro-American population, which predominates are victimized by landlords, fakers, short measure dealers in all sorts of necessary things, mostly the greedy small store merchant who is usually white, because we have not developed a small merchant class of our own, drug stores which are a blind for the bootlegging business, and white doctors who are strictly quacks who have failed to succeed among white people. We have all these things to contend with. They are parasites on our life which have to be gotten rid of by the development of honest, capable specialists of our own. We are making very slow progress in getting rid of them, we are making some, but we should make more. Things may be bad for us in Harlem, but they could be worse. We are free to keep on striving for better things, with bright prospects of continuous improvement if we persist in striving for them. Talking about high rents, my cigar dealer around the corner who also vends newspapers and other odd things, wailed to me the last of January, that he could not see how he could keep going on when he had to pay $150 rent for his small store and $60 for his three-room apartment for March, with a new dealer in the same block begining business with the coming of March. A total of $210 per month for what amounts to four small rooms, the store being only half as large as an ordinary apartment room. But there are others who pay much more than that, as Mr. Lane shows and he also shows how they try to pay it. Where is the relief to come from. Not from our Colored landlords, who are worse gougers than the white owners and agents. Y Friday, March 6, 1925. OUNCES OF PREVENTION By Dr. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association CHILDREN AND AUTOS. As Summer comes near, it would help some young mothers to know that not every invitation to ride in the neighbor's automobile should be accepted; and it should ease the minds of some young husbands to realize that automobiles are not an unmixed blessing. If young parents have been distressed because they have not felt able to afford the luxury of "keeping up with the Joneses," let them consider the following remarks: It is better to let the little children devise their own games, making their mud pies, or stirring their imaginary cakes and puddings in the quiet of their own playgrounds than it is to insist upon planning all their entertainment and insisting that they accomapny you on your search for pleasure. To begin with, play to children is business. They learn the laws of adaptation, of expediency, and of resourcefulness. They do all this in their own leisurely way if they are undisturbed, and as a consequence they are free to stop their activities when they will. You may have noted that small boys and girls are not liable to continue for hours the playing of one game. The change is necessary to prevent over-fatigue, and it is made instinctively. Now when mothers and fathers take upon themselves the supervision of the child's activities in such a way as to interfere with the natural law of work periods and rest periods, they are harming the child, not helping him. When you take your boy or girl on automobile trips, you are forcing him to accept longer or shorter periods of excitement and nervous stimulus; if the period be too long, the result is over-fatigue, with irritability, loss of appetite, restless nights or some other outward symptom with the long train of more or less serious results which follow them I do not mean that you should never take your little children for automobile rides. I urge you against prolonging the rides, substituting them for the normal hours of play and rest which the child should have. As I have said before, the less noticeable supervision the child has the more intelligent guidance and unobstrusive supervision he has, the more healthful will that child's life be. MAMARONECK, N. Y. The annual reunion and donation under the auspices of the A. M. E. Zion Church of which Rev. N. O. Haynes is pastor was held on Wednesday evening, Feb. 25th. The committee consisted of Mrs. Laura Dickens, president; Mrs. Herbert Pettyman, vice-president; Wardell Mitchell, secretary; Joseph Tucker, assistant secretary; Dennis Best, treasurer, and James Allen, assistant treasurer. The purpose of this follows the traditions of the early forefathers of having this to bring about closer relationship of Love, Unity and Fellowship of the Church. After the program came to a close the members and friends went down into the dining room where they had an appetizing supper served them. The local colored newspapers can be had on Friday evening and Saturdays at Mr. Miller's Tonsorial Parlor on Mamaroneck avenue. NEWBBURGH, N. Y. A.

For a number of years it has been the custom for Howard University School of Medicine to conduct intensive postgraduate courses in medicine and surgery for six weeks immediately following commencement. The courses offered this year have assumed larger proportions than ever before, in that the Medical School is working in conjunction with the School of Public Health. This arrangement gives a much wider scope to the post-graduate courses heretofore offered, and affords the practicing physician an opportunity to advance his knowledge along the lines of Public Health, that new phase of medicine which is so rapidly pushing to the front. Friday, March 6, 1925. By the arrangement affected, physicians may study any of the surgical and medical specialties which they most desire, and at the same time, link them up with Public Health principles and their application to the practice of medicine. This affords the finest sort of opportunity and from present indications, it appears that many physicians shall avail themselves of it. The demand of the public, which is growing daily, for complete physical examinations, makes it necessary that the up-to-date physician fit himself for Public Health practice. The U. S. Public Health Service has pledged their most wholesome cooperation in projecting this course and many of their experts will give lectures and demonstrations throut the term. As usual, Surgery and Gynecology will occupy a most important place, but of necessity the classes therein must be limited. All the specialities will be taught, including laboratory branches. Six weeks, from June 8th to July 18th, 1925 have been set apart for post-graduate study. Washington, D. C.—The student body of Howrad University had the privilege of listening to an address given by U. S. Senator Woodridge N. Ferris, of the State of Michigan at the noon-day chapel exercise on Monday, February 23rd. Senator Ferris was greeted by a crowded chapel and his remarks were admiringly received. He counselled the students of the University respecting the need for directing their training received in the college into such channels as would result in definite service to the public rather than to look solely to the making of money. The ideal of service he stated should be the governing force in their lives. His subject was "Awakening Young Men and Women to a realization of their Possibilities." He said in part: "Heredity and environment are two important factors. What have you inherited? It can only be changed by environment. You have brains; why don't you use them? What would you do if you could do what you want to do? You can't convince me that there is only one Booker T. Washington, one Frederick Douglass, one Thomas Edison. There are many of these men right here. Look at the blue print which is your inheritance. Find out what are your possibilities, and then go ahead. If I had my way, the bust of Abraham and George Washington would adorn the halls of every institution of learning in the country. A sleeping genius. He is here this morning. I am devoting my life to helping men and women find themselves. The disadvantages of Abraham Lincoln were his advantages and made him your friend. It depends upon how you use your environment. "The fundamental aim of education, therefore, should be manhood rather than mechanism. The ideal is not a working man, but a man working. Not a business man, but a man doing business. Not a school man, but a man teaching school. Not a statesman, but a man directing the affairs of the State. Not a clergyman, but a man devoted to those things of the soul." New Society Founded at Howard University Washington, D. C.—A group of students of Howard University, specializing in history, foreseeing the benefit to be gained for themselves and the race by deep study and broad research in the field of history recently organized "The Historical Society of Howard University." The purposes of this organizations are fourfold: (1) To stimulate an interest in and to reward those students who achieve high scholarship ranking within the department; (2) to establish a museum of documents in the field of history; (3) to reward those whose research in this field shall contribute to our knowledge of the early history and struggles of the Negro in America; (4) to stimulate and encourage propaganda which will give recognition to the deeds of the Negro. Membership in the organization is open to all students specializing in history, but only those members who have shown superior scholarship in the subject will be permitted to suffrage and to wear the society's emblem. The charter member of the organization are as follows: Ralph E. Banks, President; Mae Harper, Treasurer; Flora A. Phillips, Secretary; Irene Harris, Samuel Higgins, and Anita Turpeau. ITHACA, N. Y.

During the past two years, I have handled considerable advertising for this house, dating back to the time of Morris Cain.

Read The INTER-STATE TATTLER GRANVILLE’S WALKERS CAPTURE SECOND PLACE Two Mile Relay Walk Won By Pearmgns Team With Colored Star Crossing the Finish Line in Second Place At the athletic games of the 71st Reyiment Armory last Monday night, Phil Granville, the crack col- ored Jong distance walking cham- pion of Canada, captained a team of four walkers who placed second in the two mile handicap relay walk, with each man traveling a half mile. Joe Pearman’s team captured first honors with a handicap of sixty cight seconds. Joe's team mates were, Norman Plant, H. Movell and Sam Scott. Granville’s mates were, Anthony, Keiser and lnchen- Diack, Granville’s best distance is above the two mile mark, but he has never quibbled over the distance and has conceeded to race Willie Plant, the American short distance champion, at Plant's favorite mileage. Willie Plants team was fourth and The dtalian champion, Ugo lrig- erio’s team was third. Paavo Nurmi equalled his own mile and a half cecord of 6:39 275 leading the pack home by fully two thirds of a dap, from his nearest competitor, It looked as if the Flying Minn had broken his previous record, but the watches failed to register so, although the margin was close. Another good race came in the three mile team event. Willie Rit- olaapparently undisturbed by the furor raging in A. A. U. circles as a result of his lifted suspension, paired with [mar Prim, also of the Finnish-American A. C. created a new indoor record when they trav- ced the three miles in 12 minutes 29 4-5 seconds. STONE GIVEN VERDICT WHEN JUDGES DISAGREE Lee Anderson Puts Up A Great Fight With Quaker City's Crack Light Heavy | Phil. Pa. Mareh 2nd—Lee An- Pderson, colored light” heavyweight ot Boston and Ad Stone the rugged W775 pounder of this city, staged a fast and furious ten round battle here last nigit, the decision being given to the white fighter by the referee after the judges disagreed. He came out of the contest with- eutit seratch, while Stone was badly cut about the mouth and one eye wits sewed up tight. It was a fast and furious serap all the way, the white man hammering at the body and Anderson pounding the head and kidneys. Considerable dissatisfaction was [shown by the fans who believed that aociraw would have been a fairer decision. The judges found it diffi- cult to decide the issue and the ref- eree then gave the bout to the home town boy, But the spectators gave the colored fighter a big hand and Tull credit for the great fight he waged, RISDON vs. CLITTY The MeMahon brothers will stage twe twelye ronnd feature bouts at the Commonwealth Sporting Club this Saturday night, with Bobby Risdon against Al Clitty and Al Simmons hooked up with Stanny Loayza. Bobby will have to step at full speed to tame the boy trom the Bronx, who had been winning right along. But little Bobby, the Bronze ‘Viger, has the uttermost confidence in his ability to defeat the boy from up the line. Al Simmons the highly touted English lightweight, hopes to play a big part in the lightweight boxing tournament, He has not been here very long and this will be his first bout since arrival. He is up against a stiff two handed puncher in Loay- za, who can also take it. Dances Gabarets Theatrical “TIGER” FLOWERS HAS MANY DATES TO FILL Walk Miller’s Fighting Deacon Will Be A Very Busy Gent During The Next Few Months Despite the fact that “Tiger” Flowers suffered his eighth knock- out defeat just recently, when Jack Delancey repeated the trick of a few weeks before, Walk Miller scems to find plenty of work for the illus- trious “Kighting Deacon of Atlanta, Georgia. Flowers seems to be the greatest attraction in the pugilistic world and his services seem ever in de- mand, His manager has him signed for no less than eight fights, with some of the best light heavyweights in the game, Starting with Lee Anderson on March 9th at Baltimore for a twelve round set too, the deacon then meets the following: March 11th, opponent not named at Newark; March 16th, Sailor Darden, Toledo, Ohio; March 20th, Lou Bogash, Boston, Mass.; March 23rd, Geo. Robinson, Bridgeport, Conn.; Mar. 3ist, Allentown; Joe Gans, Atlanta, Georgia; April 6th, opponent not named, Grand Rapids, Mich.; April 17th, Bartley Madden, Cleveland, Ohio. After this strenuous campaign, the Tiger will play the feature role in a five reel picture of Southern life, which will keep him busy for six or eight weeks. Then he'll start an- other campaign for titular honors, with the coming of the out-door boxing season in June. Flowers should have little diffi- culty whipping the men he is match- ed with, with the possible exception of “Allentown” Joe Gans (Joey Hicks) who is equally as good a fighter as Jack Delaney, if not bet- ter. Gans packs a sweet right hand punch and is a great defensive fighter in whom the “Tiger” will find plenty of trouble. PROF.

While the production is featured with “bits” and specialties, it runs with a smoothness and rythm and the bits fit in nicely, though at times somewhat inconsistent with the setting and> surrounding. But these mere technicalities in no way interfere with the entertainment and few of the patrons noticed or cared to any great extent. Miss Abbie Mitchell, popular favorite and super artist, held) the center of the stage and shone with a dazzling brilliancy born of the true artist. Gifted with a wonderful voice, excellently well trained in its use and knowledge of music, Miss Mitchell thrilled and enthfised in a way that certainly gave the “lic” to those who claim that our folks don't appreciate real worth, Billy Higgins, the pugnacious comedy entertainer, Ed Peat and Gulfport handle the comedy — ¢x- ceedingly well. And these three chaps get plenty of laughs out of the situations assigned them. Peat and Higgins work together a great deal and seem to team well. Gulf- port’s work with his partner Brown was also of a high order. Florence McClain presents a very pleasing picture and a world of pep in her numbers nicely supported by a real honest to goodness beauty chorus of clever singing and danc- ing maidens. Dewey Wineglass’ internationally famous “Dancing Demons” were given a big ovation for their excellent dancing and had to respond time and time again to the sustained applause accorded them. The members of Dewey's act now are, George Phillips, Jessie Crawford and Bertha Roc, his wife. Elois Bennett and Billy Thrill staged a thrilling number that was well executed. Miss Bennett's sing- ing also pleased as did that of Nitty Brown and the Southern our, ihe scenery and costiiiies were of a very high order, especially the scenery. The staging of the pro- duction was exceptionally meritori- ous, and Sam Craig and his assis- tants deserve a great deal of credit for the success of the production, J. Rosamond Johnson and Isis troubadour band were one of the big features that proved most pleas- ing. Mr. Johnson conducted his musical “Aces” in a way that won instant appreciation from oa very responsive audience.

No language in my eye they read, Nor by my tongue are they deceived; I go my straight forward daily gait, Yet, me withal they will not hate. Why, oh, why, must this be my fate? I go up; I go down; I go cross, and I reverse, Yet when I reflect and lay me down Methinks perchance it is my purse (empty) X word puzzles could hardly be worse. So I wonder and I ponder why my state That makes me so helplessly desolate. 'Tis these men, these men; 'tis these men. (VICTIM) After many hectic years of Cabarets, wild parties, and what not Oscar Hammerstein has grown gray. A sure sign of growing old Oscar, is evident since we notice that you are beauing around the charming and youthful Mae Fortune. "Youth is to old men like age is to wine." Did you say? Some men have the characteristics of the fox and some of the wolf, but we have not heard of a man likened to a "honey bee." Of course there is the first time to everything.' Billy Williams has been flitting from flower to flower sipping sweet nectar here and there, since the Slim Princess faded out of the picture. Billy was seen dining with Kathryn Robinson, the artist. May we add that the popular widow, Maude Bowser, was in Boston. The gossips are whispering overtime that a certain charming widow of a Harlemite who lost his life last summer at the hands of an underworld habitue, has been trying to put the works on a Seventh avenue doctor. X-Ray this, you "darling lovers of scandal." Dr. Billy Sullivan, after many years of Cliff dwelling in Harlem, packed his family off to Long Island. Mrs. Sullivan affectionately known as "Min" has decided to return to the city, as the Island has been rather lonesome. Those of you who have tender backs would do well to have them massaged with rosin which will make it tough being quite sure that the doctor's teeth have become much sharper since leading the life of a country gentleman. The Three Dukes, are preparing for their Post-Lenten affair. We have often wondered what locality their respective Dukedoms cover. Bush, we christen thee "Duke of Smiles;" Wells, we baptize you "Duke of the Exchequer," Dumas, last, but not least, we ordain you the "Duke of all you survey." No periodical is prejudiced as to its subscribers, but we are forced to think that prospective subscribers of color will not feel flattered should they read "My Lady Fair Magazine" of the current issue. A colored writer makes an attempt to burlesque members of Harlem's society clubs. We may add that some of our best, including doctors, lawyers, artists and editors, are members of the "Nest" and "Bamville." The day of your characters are fastly passing, Sir, and we will continue, no doubt, to have boleta men, race horse touts, and gamblers—black as well as white. We hear that "Booker Red" has three ofays on his staff. Better hire two Mack trucks before wifie sees this, as there are many Tattlers out. When a young man develops a corporation it is a sure sign that he has the "Moneygitis." Bob Greenfield, Harlem's live wire auto accessory merchant, must be nearly ready to retire.

Waiting on the corner of 135th St. and Lenox Avenue for Lula Ghee until nine o'clock. Don't be foolish, as Lula is in the big city. Bill Farr, if you knew how worried Georgia Archer is about you! Drop her a line and prevent the little dear from running up and down the stairs watching for the mail man. She has already lost ten pounds, and can't afford to lose any more. John Carrol, of Bradhurst Avenue, where is the little lady that you had as a constant companion last summer? We admire her much better than the one whom you escorted to Small's last Sunday night. Paul Grymes of Yonkers has been seeing red. We wonder if it is possible to hurt some one that you really love? The social clique of which Mrs. Jacques Lucas Pinkett, was formerly a member will welcome her return to New York as Jackie was the life of many parties. The Sing Sing effect at the Bamville is quite novel. Among the well known harlemites who attended the Monday breakfast dance are as follows: Harry Griffin, Bob Mosely, Eloise Bennett, and the song bird Abbe Mitchell. Jerry T. and Granville Brown, "two limbos" were in Newark, N. J., for the celebration of Washington's birthday. Ernest Hobb, being a good soldier fought a fair fight in Newark on Washington's birthday although he was opposed by the miltitude. Britt is religious. His policy of brotherly love was in evidence over Jersey way. Who is the real Rudolph Valentino of Yonkers? It appears that E. M. is striving hard for the honors from the looks of things in the north. O. J. watch your step and don't try to cover too much ground for a bird in the hand is worth fifty in the bush. Joe Gamble looked mighty grim at the dansant recently held at the Philadelphia hall. Certain gossips say that Miss R. Sheppard, a haridresser fo 138th St. is taking the trade of a Seventh Ave. lady. "Lord" Harry Glow, you had better stop running over to east 129th St. as there is someone behind your heels. The wealthy aunt of Mr. Joseph Russell, a Seventh Ave. residence bequeathed her quite a few thousand dollars. "Look out boy's this is a good show for you." The air mail has made cupid's efforts much easier. Eddie Herbert receives many love letters from the charming Miss Worth of Los Angeles. Who knocked at Lance's vulcanizing establishment last Sunday night but a brown. We are fearful that she has your number. "Look out sweet papa, Marie will soon be in town, and then you will be between the devil and the deep blue sea. John Flood was very proud when he rolled away from strivers row on Washington's birthday. From his manner one would have thought that it was his birthday. "Page little chicken." We hope that the charming Margaret Taylor will allow the water to run down the hill some time. Wilmer Mason, Harlem's prettiest brown was seen dining so differently at Flo's Monday night. A certain Cleveland that oftime Park's in that section of Hylan's garage between Seventh and Eighth Avenue on 139th St. has a Miss Worth of Los Angeles very much worried. Yes it is true that Eddie always has the car full of gas, oil and water. Why worry? A certain Doctor of Seventh Ave. is a wonderful chap in fact too wonderful, therefore we always refrain from writing him up, but his office after hours is the rendtzvous of situations more in keeping with Louis XIV time. "Look on subdued lights." Doctor Payne called on Mr. Andrew Herbert of West 139th St. and removed a couple of chairs (teeth) from his front parlor, therefore marring his beauty, so to speak. You can't make your rounds now old dear. A certain young lady's former sweetie of a prominent Seventh Ave. lawyer, was asked to depart from her domicile in 139th St. because of her artist and Model poses in favor of young men across the way. Walking through 139th St., I met a man who reminded me of a character in a story called the Gray Ghost, upon second sight I recognized my man as Arlington Delsarte, who had just made his getaway from a high Y. whom he deserted in the pink room of a 136th St. Of course you know that Lesle Coles went and did that thing. Oh, yes he and Savanah Cousins are married. LOOKING 'EM OVER Dick Thomas is now a constant reporter for The Afro-American. Emile Hally is in line for a Phi Beta Kappa Key. Some class, eh what.

The past month's cold and damp has kept new togs in the background; occasionally a smart affair enlivens Harlem's social life but in the main is it a case of furs. For the most part, small shapes will hold sway. March winds demand that they fit snugly and combine comfort and smartness. In the matter of sports and tailored things the colors run to browns in the various shades of beige, and Kasha is extensively used. Several seen by the writer were of the sim- Mary C Wife of the Thirtieth President of Wife of the Thirtieth President of the United States, Calvin Coolidge --- THE FIRST LADY OF THE LAND MARIA MAYORA MRS.

Satin crepe in pink, emerald gree, rosewood, gold lace and tulle fashioned this evening layout which are the latest word. Harmony being our main concern in togs, we insist on having handbags matching the gowns. Mrs. C. S. Reid of New London, Conn., when dining at Craigs Sunday night carried a galuchat the latest hint, finished off with big silver initials which imparted a note of ultra smartness. Crocodile and Lizard skin will be much in demand for slippers, being trimmed with numerous straps and finished off with seams in different shades. Stockings on the contrary, are almost without exception in the sunburnt tint. FASHIONABLE MEN It is usually said that Englishmen are the best dressed men in the world, and rightfully so for London is their style center, as Paris is for milady. The collegiate style much in evidence will be continued this season. Medium length coat with straight full trousers, or with cuffs as preferred. This style originated in England among the Cold Streams Guard Officers. The soft hat will prevail, with various shades of browns, grey's will be in evidence but not as prominent as during the season just past. Shoes will continue to be along simple straight lines, a certain department store has on display an English shoe with full wing tips, in Russian calf. Jewelry for men is still passee and no doubt will continue so, as in the past it has been considered bad taste for men, even the stick pin has been regulated to the museum of curiosities. C the United States, Calvin Coolidge Friday, March 6, 1925. --- Friday, March 6, 1925. Clifford Turner, we note that you are living out in the suburbs now in your cosey little cottage at Fairfield, Md., what's the idea? Is the rent on the Avenue too high for you or are you trying to wean yourself from the bright lights for a while, we are sure it won't do you any harm. * * * We are trying our best to figure out how a bellman who works at the Albion Hotel can call himself a fast one, if that was true he would run over himself in that joint, so any one who condescends to hop bells at that place will be better off if he don't have anything to say when regular bellmen at the other hotels are talking. * * * We are able to say that John R., better known as gatemouth is still holding his own around the Ave. * * * Raymond, you turned your sly trick very quietly and hellowed to little old New York we meant to get a line on you, but you was too fast for us, however, we wish you and the Madam all the good things of life including a boy. * * * Mr. William Dixon we know your game for going to N. Y. and we are going to play it with you when you get back and when we can get a line on you, so don't think that you are pulling anything on the Mole, see. * * * Walter Boone, you had better keep your money instead of trying to play galloping dominoes, as you are a real lane at the game, so wake up and drop off, pal. * * * Mammie W. what has become of your long-legged sheik? * * * We don't see you strolling the Ave. with him any more, have you given him the gate or did he give it to you first, it's a long old road that has no turning you know. * * * We got a hunch that Mrs. S. R. was moving out to Druid Hill Park, but you will have to move farther than that if you want to get away from that chocolate cake eater S. M. as he thinks that's just a walkout when there is a cake on the end of his journey. Blindie will also continue to be friendly if your hubby keeps a gin bottle any where in sight, that boy sure can do away wilt some gin or anything that looks like it.
