Stillman Dropped Herself From Register—Says It's Like the Phone-Directory, All Sorts Are In Friday, March 20, 1925. New York's four hundred was startled last week when a late edition of the Social Register contained the name of Mrs. Leonard Kip Rhinelander, who has a suit filed to have her status established as a white person. It is alleged that the established and accepted policy of the Social Register is that all marriages must be recorded. The record of a published marriage does not insure the entry into the Social Register, for all names are entered only with the sanction of the advisory committee. Young Kip Rhinelander, the scion of one of New York's wealthiest families, is known to have very plain tastes, and should their names remain on the register, it is most likely that the Rhinelanders would snub society, instead of society snubbing them. Mrs. Stillman's open letter to the Social Register Association, stated that it was with a deal of joy that she read the articles that appeared in the Herald and Tribune, and now that the tar brush has dimmed the luster of the Social Register, who knows? It is to be recalled that Mrs. Anne U. Stillman's social luster was dimmed by her connection with the Fred Beauvais scandal that rocked New York's four-hundred to their very foundation. It is rather tardy to suggest that some of the country's best has been dimmed not only by the tar brush, but by the good brush as well. YORK PA. W. F. the heartbreaker, was taken off for ten bucks last week, and a woman didn't take it either. * * * We don't quite know when C. C. broke into the movies, but he has aerial out, called the "Exploits of Myself." Three episodes have already been shown. When will the fourth be out, Kid? They say Mrs. C. ruined the third one. * * * Say, P. H. what are you doing? Breaching yourself? You are getting so light that we don't hardly know you. No use trying, you won't get the color off. * * * Why don't you get a job yourself B. B. instead of taking M. B. to work every morning. * * * Miss B.

Hardly before M. S. comes, I know. * * * I don't know why you get mad because you are out in The Tattler. You love nooriety so much. Why don't you attempt to swim the English Channel or jump off the College Ave. bridge, then you will be heard of and near. You don't get angry, you just pretend so. You dearly love publicity, and how well do we now it. Page Miss E. H. * * * started as manager, was reduced to rummer, now out altogether, who? * * * PERTH AMBOY, N. J. LLROY SPARKS, JR.

PAULEN ASKED TO VETO K. K. K. BILL N.A.A.C.P. Sends Kansas Executive Spirited Telegram To Halt K. K. K. Invasion Governor Ben. S. Paulen of Kansas, has acknowledged receipt of a telegram from the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, asking him to veto a bill which would permit the Ku Klux Klan to operate within the State of Kansas. The N. A. A. C. P. telegram to Governor Paulen is as follows: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with 380 branches and a membership of 100,000 composed of white and colored citizens of the United States, respectfully urges that you veto the so-called Ku Klux Klan Bill now pending before you, which would permit this organization, capitalizing as it does vicious racial and religious prejudices, to operate as an organization in the State of Kansas. There should be no place in America for any subversive movement like the Klan which sets neighbor against neighbor and foiments bitterness and hatred often resulting in violence. The record of bloodshed during the past few years caused by Klan propaganda, whether those disorders come directly or indirectly from Klan activity would emphasize that if America is to be the democracy it should be, no movement of this sort should be countenanced. You will be applauded by all America, if you veto this measure." SPINGARN ELECTED HONORARY FELLOW J. E. Spingarn, donor of the Spingarn Medal, and Treasurer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since 1919, has recently been elected an "honorary fellow" of the University of Munich, one of the largest and most important institutions of learning in Germany. The title is honorary and does not imply any official connection with the institution, being awarded for "distinguished work in literature, and interest in the University." Mr. Spingarn joined the N.A.A.C.P. in 1910, just fifteen years ago, and was Chairman of its Board of Directors from 1913 to 1919, when he was obliged to retire because of his temporary absence in France with the A. E. F. HOTEL HAMILTON Bermuda Friends, once again through the columns of The Tattler, a few weeks ago the Hamilton Hotel, Bellman staff, was published. The Tattler, as we all know, goes every where. Atlantic City picked up the news of dear old Hamilton and among the crew singled out the long lost friend of the party in Atlantic City. A letter was mailed him at once and now they are both very happy and still thanking The Tattler. * * * Frank Seino, one of our boys who made a big hit at the Fashion Show here, singing "Sally" in the garden scene among the beautiful flower girls has become very popular. We can hear nothing but praise for him. Look out, Frank, we want you to return to the States and sing "Sally" for us there. * * * Bermuda and its beauty will be here if you return to its shores again. UTICA. N. Y. A delightful birthday party was given at Myotha Frank's in honor of John Scott. B. N. * * * Rob Bennett and F.

The division came primarily because of the efforts of the Ku Klux Klan by stealth to promote the nomination of William G. McAdoo, in opposition to the nomination of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, who represented all that the Ku Klux Klan was opposed to in a candidate. The Klan forces were led by William J. Bryan, backed by the Southern delegations, with the exception of Alabama, which stood solidly for Senator Underwood. A compromise candidate was nominated in the person of Mr. John W. Davis of West Virginia, who turned out to be more advanced and radical in things the Klan Democrats anathematized than Governor Smith could possibly have been. Mr. Davis practically made his own platform which comprehended all races, religious and the foreign born. The Democratic Convention adjourned in confusion with the northern and western Democrats thoroughly disgusted and disposed to leave the southern Democrats alone to elect the compromise candidates if they could. The results were that they could not. Coolidge and Dawes were elected by a landslide which could not have happened if the Northern and Western Democrats had not deserted the party in disgust. Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt has suggested that the Democrats get together in a conference, adjust their differences and work out a clear definition of Democratic principles. The very wide discussion of the question has uncovered the fact that the sectional differences displayed in the New York Convention still exist and that there is no definite idea anywhere as to what Democratic principles look like. The New York Times does not think that the National Democratic Party has any principles. The New York World thinks that the principles of Thomas Jefferson as opposed to those of Alexander Hamilton contain the germ of Democratic principles. Perhaps. Thomas Jefferson was a dreamer as well as a radical, while Hamilton was one of the most practical and conservative statesmen the country has produced, and his principles have prevailed for the most part in American Administration rather than those of Jefferson. The point we want to emphasize is that the drift seems to show a tendency on the part of the Democratic leaders to get back to the position and adopt the policy, with Southern leadership which prevailed before the New York Convention, and which had kept the Democratic Party out of power since the Civil War, with the exception of sixteen years, and will keep it out of power if adopted now during the next fifty years. Certainly the Afro-Americans who supported Davis in the last election would not support any candidate nominated four years hence, nominated by the old leaders with the old policies which prevailed from Reconstruction days. We can say that much. If the National Democratic party wants any Afro-American support in the next election it can only get it by holding to the character of John W. Davis in its candidates and the advanced policies which he stood manfully for. THE ROCKEFELLER GIFT OF A $1,000,000 TO THE TUSKEGEE-HAMPTON FUND E have all been interested in the Tuskegee-Hampton drive for an endowment fund of $5,000,000 and were greatly elated when Mr. George Eastman of Rochester contributed $2,000,000 toward it. Mr. John D. Rocke- WE have all been interested in the Tuskegee-Hampton drive for an endowment fund of $5,000,000 and were greatly elated when Mr. George Eastman of Rochester contributed $2,000,000 toward it. Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has just contributed $1,000,000 to the fund without conditions, which leaves the endowment only $1,500,000 short of completion. The Rockefellers have long been interested in the educational work of Afro-Americans and have been large contributors to that work; this last contribution, therefore, caused little surprise but a vast deal of gratification. In fact, the Race has been particularly fortunate from the first benefaction by George Peabody to the benefactions of Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Eastman, in the large number of philanthropists who have given large sums for their education, especially in the Southern states. Mr. Rockefeller has the following to say about his most recent gift: "Inasmuch as I have been profoundly interested in these THE INTER-STATE TATTLER schools," said Mr. Rockefeller, in forwarding his gift, "ever since my father took me as a small boy to visit Hampton, when General Armstrong was its head; because they provide an education which fits boys and girls to be useful citizens, whether they go forward to higher and professional education or go directly into agriculture, industry or business; because they stress the development of character along with the development of mind and body, and because of my lifelong interest in the colored race. I shall count it a privilege to participate in the campaign to the extent of $1,000,000." It would be horrible to contemplate the conditions of the Afro-American people, especially in the Southern states, if thousands of white men and women had not gone South and engaged in the active work of education, backed by moral sentiment and millions of money of the Northern and Western people since the Civil War. It was one of the most gigantic missionary efforts ever inaugurated and carried to completion. We have the results to-day, fifty years after, as for the most part we have our own teachers in nearly all the schools of the South, with thousands and thousands of young people who have been prepared by some sort of education to grapple with the stern realities of life. THE STONE MOUNTAIN CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL HE country has been very much concerned about the rupture of good relations between Gutzon Borglum and the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial Association, with the court proceedings that followed, and the efforts to have the work undertaken by the sculptor carried to a finish by him, and upon which he has been working for nine years past. Borglum is eccentric, as most sculptors, artists and literary folks are, and resented the interference of the Association with his management of the work, and he threw it down and smashed the models. T The sculptor was employed to delineate on the face of Stone Mountain the principal actors and engagements of the Confederates in the Civil War. We did not think from the beginning that the work was a necessary one and that it would be carried to completion, because we did not sympathize with the movement to perpetuate the Confederate phase of the Civil War as a perpetual memorial. We have always felt that the Southern people would not become nationalized until they should themselves from the causes which led to the Civil War, which were largely sectional in character and purpose. The devotion with which they cling to "the lost cause" will always prevent them from becoming nationalized in sentiment and will keep them strife breeders, such as they have uniformly been since the Civil War. It would be good for the South and for the country at large if the Stone Mountain Memorial of the Confederate side of the Civil War should never be completed. We had no love for the Southern Confederacy when it was alive and we have none for it now that it is dead. Being dead, it should be decently buried. THE MIGRANTS BEGIN TO MOVE NORTHWARD HE Federal Department of Labor has sent out a release showing that with the advent of Spring the movement of Migrants of the South to the largest industrial centers of the North and West has begun and that the THE Federal Department of Labor has sent out a release showing that with the advent of Spring the movement of Migrants of the South to the largest industrial centers of the North and West has begun and that the State and local uplift agencies are co-operating actively to secure work and safeguard the interests of the new comers. Some of the States have well organized bureaus and are co-operating with the local organizations in the good work. It stands to reason that we shall receive a very large number of these Southern migrants as the season progresses, as so many of them have already settled in New York, especially in Harlem. It should be an individual pleasure to welcome them among us, and to co-operate as far as possible with those who make it a business to find employment and to safe-guard the interest of these people. We are sure the readers of the INTERSTATE TATTLER will do their part in this good work. The people who come to us from the South are seeking to better their condition, which is often hard enough in the places from which they come. They come here for the same purpose that the European immigrants come, and we should be organized to care for them in as comprehensive a way to protect their interests as those of the European immigrants are. We must not forget that these people are our people, our sisters and brothers, and that we should do what we can to help them enjoy some of the good things which have fallen to us in such large measures. The Way of the World No; we haven't got a City Magistrate in New York City but we would be gratified if we could have one. Mr. Louis A. Lavelle, one of our many attorneys at law, feels about as we do and has petitioned the proper authorities, backed by many citizens, many of them lawyers, to be appointed as one. If he succeeds those even who oppose him will be the gainers. If we do not go after the good things we will Friday. March 20, 1925. OUNCES OF PREVENTION By Dr. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association HAVE YOU PLAYED AT BEING ALADDIN? Once upon a time in a crowded market place, Aladdin found himself in need of a sudden change. He discovered that he was intensely weary of the shouting and the tumult and the the bickering of the merchants. The mercenary people jostled him. They stepped on the silken toes of his foot covering and even on his very toes themselves! They stuck their elbows in his back and his "before." "By Mahomet, the Prophet," exclaimed Aladdin, "I shall get myself out of this mess!" Now Aladdin was at that time very poor—no, I guess he wasn't poor either! He couldn't have been so. He fought his way through the throng and stepped to a pillar entwined with roses—or was it magazines?—and pressed a button. Straightway there appeared out of the ground a taxicab. He jumped in and whirled away. You will be doing that very thing one of these days if the dreaming and the fancies of the Special Deputy Police Commissioner, Dr. Harris, come true. He says that we should put the taxicabs down in the ground and electric buttons on the corners, relieve traffic and save ourselves the effort of whistling, waving umbrellas or shaking fists at cruising cabs. Every device which simplifies life is a health-producing affair. It should be welcomed and used. Women who could buy vacuum cleaners should not sweep with a broom. If they can get an electric washing machine, they should not bend their backs for hours at a time over the washboard. The time they have spent in the years gone by at such drudgery which is now taken care of through machinery should be spent out of doors; mothers should devote more time to the children, to attention of matters which make for better health in their families. I have noticed that a great number of women "in the home," who, according to old legends were supposed to be giving their time to the important matter of child training wasted their best energies on the rugs and the dishes, the clothes and the window washing. They had no time for their children, except after the work was done—and then they were too tired. Nowadays this is is changed. Are women directing their best energies to constructive effort for the betterment of the home, the health and the characters of the children? I think that they are. Are YOU? not get our share. This is especially true in politics, as the Race has found out long ago. So, then. Mr. Lavelle is to be congratulated for going after the good things. The Charles H. Anderson Bank of Jacksonville, Fla., bought a corner lot at 135th street and Lenox avenue, for the purpose of opening a bank there in a fine building, but he lost the property and his bank in Jacksonville in the progress of the plans. Then a Savannah bank bought a corner on Seventh avenue and 135th street, for speculative or banking purposes, which have not been able from the many statements about the purchase, to determine; and now that property has passed to some other company and an office building is being constructed on the ground. The building and the banking companies may be the same. The point is that we do not appear to be able to get a bank of our own established in Harlem. Something always stands in the way. What is it? One hundred and fifty thousand Afro-Americans who can't have a bank of their own, or a store of any kind in which they can buy what they want, with rare exceptions, should examine themselves very closely in the effort to locate the reason why they can't and don't have these stores and banks, as in other com- Continued on page S Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "THE SOUTHERN PLANTATION" By Francis Pendleton Gaines. Published by The Columbia University Press, 2960 Broadway, New York City. Price $2.50 postpaid. This study, unlike most thesis, is interesting reading. We are treated to a mass of details and the pages are thick with footnotes, but through all is a pleasant lightness of touch. Mr. Gaines shows us first enormous vogue of the Southern plantation in literature and the drama, its chief characters, the chivalrous master, the lovely mistress and more lovely maid, a humorous "darkey." And while the darker side of plantation life was made prominent for a time by the abolitionists, the author proves conclusively that the Southern picture, the picture of Page and Edwards and Harris, the picture of the Birth of a Nation, is the one that remains firmly rooted in the American imagination: It is this picture that has come to be a part of American writing and is still a drawing card on the stage. So fixed is it that a light colored man must blacken his face, if he is to be accepted as funny before the footlight. Its Kentucky colonels, its lovely maidens in hoopskirts, its faithful mammies, moreover, are not only tradition, they are propaganda, and because they are propaganda, Mr. Gaines' comparison of the legend and the reality are important.

Its K in hoopskirts, its faithful mammies they are propaganda, and because comparison of the legend and the The legend starts with a setting of splendor for the whole South. Every gentleman's home was a place of cultured magnificence. In reality, our author tells us, there were few such plantations. They were about as common as Kenilworth castles in Tudor, England. As for the characters within these great estates, the author examines them one by one. Of the master, the cavalier of romance, he finds that "the tradition is one of great inaccuracy. It is a dramatization of the lurid, the volatile, the sensational in plantation life." The best plantation owners, men like R. F. W. Allston, Thomas Dabney, Robert E. Lee, make the figure in fiction seem tawdry, while the majority certainly differed from the legend. The vices of gambling, drunkenness, violence, portrayed as foibles in romance, were actually cial iniquities of distressing magnitude." The charm of the Southern woman of the legend was not over-rated but her position was not so charming as it seemed. "In all the romance there is a conspicuous absence of the psychology of lovely girls who married young sports and found that matrimony locked a door and threw away the key, locked a door so thick that not even the cry of pain could ever penetrate to the outer world." Some of the things Mr. Gaines says of the Negro of legend are delightful. The black mammy is "the faithful female retainer" of all races, a stock figure, and could be drawn acceptably by a writer who had gone no further South than Bangor. The "darkey" who made Negro minstrelsy one of the TALKS ABOUT By A. A. JA Starting at 125th Street and Lenox avenue, walking northward to 145th Street, then westward to Seventh avenue, southward to 125th Street, one sees any number of establishments owned and managed by whites, a condition that does not exist in any other Afro-American community in the country. What are we doing about it? We have long known that these shopkeepers have been selling us goods far below the standard, and that in some instances foodstuffs not fit for human consumption have been sold our residents, the cheaper butcher shops and Chinese restaurants being among the most notorious. As a racial group the percentage of shopkeepers among us is very small, but the time is now when we must awaken from our state of lethargy, and enter more diversified lines of business. Recognizing the fact that we have little experienced material to carry on these various forms of merchandising, I would suggest that a sufficient number of whites be employed along with the --- first American institutions, is a folk figure, a simple rustic, artless, musical, superstitious. His original on the plantation is both better and worse than his picture. The stage tradition gave the Negro "spectacular traits which though not altogether rare are not invariable and are not in themselves the complete psychology of the true Negro." It is in his treatment of the Negro, however, that Mr. Gaines for the first time becomes an apologist for the South, declaring of the slave that "suffering was not unknown, it is true, but the fact remains that the burden of proof is on those who assert the raisery of exceptional cases as the rule." The burden is a light one. One has only to state that Negro slavery was chattel slavery and that every year hundreds of thousands of slaves were sold from Virginia, and the border States into the South. This domestic trade our author only alludes to in a footnote when he remarks that "the coffle, the slave dealer, the auction block, these remain unpleasant features." This slight volume, 243 pages, is full of important material. It gives hundreds of names of novelists, playwrights, musicians. Sometimes its allusions are far fetched as when the Emperor Jones is noted among the plays in the plantation tradition, and it damns Will Marion Cook with faint praise, but it is a store-house of important matter. The more pity that it remains unfinished. For reference purposes, it is almost useless, since it has no index. best possible colored material, gradually retiring the former as the latter become efficient. Since we have no banks to finance our commercial activities and the future possibilities being remote, it appears on the face of things that it is up to the churches to aid colored Harlem towards economic independence. The white shopkeeper, with his huge profits from the sale of inferior goods, is a liability to the community in general instead of an asset, as most of his goods are purchased in other neighborhoods. Secondly, he does not employ colored help, except in the hootch selling pharmacies. Worthy race enterprises suffer immensely by this condition. It is generally conceded that many obstacles will have to be overcome, chief among these being the breaking up of the ring that controls the choice store locations of Seventh and Lenox avenues, which prevent our merchants from obtaining desirable leases. Remember, our goal is economic independence—a place in the sun. ... THE INTER-STATE TATTLER THE WAY OF THE WORLD Continued from page 4 munities, where there are many of our group who have them. Burning people alive, whether they are black, white or red, is about as savage a business as can be imagined. The thing happens often in some one of our Southern States, although the lynching record has been greatly reduced in the last two years. The latest burning occurred in Georgia. The responsible people of Georgia and other States where such instances occur should be able to see that they can't hold their black labor to the soil while they tolerate such deeds. I have no sympathy, therefore, with the planters of the ten counties of Georgia who are unable to go ahead with the development of their farm industry because so many of their black laborers have moved away. They stand to lose more of them according to reports from Government sources, for that the Migrant Movement from the South to the North and West began with the coming of Spring. It was the boast of Wolfgang Grady, the brilliant but dangerous editor of the Atlanta Constitution, in speaking before a commercial body in Boston, that the South had the best and most contented labor in the world. But that was thirty years ago, when mob conditions were worse, when Afro-Americans had not been aroused to the injustice done them and the World War had not shown them how to follow the North Star. It the white South does not amend its ways it will continue to lose its black labor supply, and it can't get any foreign cheaper labor because of the immigration restrictions. Sure, you can't eat your pie and have it. In politics, Atro-American "Expectations" are standing on tip-toe, while President Coolidge talks of none and does nothing to relieve the agony. Politiaelly, it is the way of the world. CRISIS EDITOR ATTACKS McKENSIE RULE AT FISK The Feature Editorial Article of N. A. A. C. P. Organ Devoted to Conditions of Nashville School The leading editorial in the April "Crisis," torthecoming on March 16, is devoted to the recent disturbances at Fisk University and the Editor of the Crisis declares the issue to be one of freedom for students: "It is not a question of color or race. No colored man has demanded a colored President at Fisk. No colored man has demanded a white President at Fisk, but we do demand a President who can teach and inspire and not merely drive and repress, and we care not what his color may be . . . Black folk want their children reared under all necessary restraints but they demand for them at the same time, that equally necessary freedom and self-respect without which manhood and womanhood is impossible. Fisk University today denies this, and denies it openly and frankly and bases its denial on "race," so far as it explains it at all. Charging that the inner conditions at Fisk have been going from bad to worse, the Crisis editorial reports a disposition on the part of the trustees of the University last November to remedy some of the conditions complained of, but that President McKensie nullified that favorable impulse and announced charges against Fisk administration would be ignored. The editorial further charges that during the recent riotous disturbances by students at Fisk, President McKenzie called in eighty white Southern policemen and gave them a list of six students to arrest, the list being that of "the student committee who had arranged him three months earlier before the Board of Trustees." "The Judge gave a suspended fine and when McKenzie was faced with six damage suits he decided to be 'merciful,' had the record expunged and the students given honorable dismissal." The fight against the present administration of Fisk is only just begun, says the Crisis Other features of the April "Crisis" are an article by E. Fran- TO APPEAL AGAINST SEGREGATION ACT OF NEW ORLEANS COUNCIL Colored Citizens of Louisiana Prepared To Fight Vicious Act of Council "to the last Ditch" New Orleans, March 15.—The residential segregation of whites and Negroes in New Orleans, recently affirmed by the State Supreme Court of Louisiana, will be carried on appeal to the United States Supreme Court, it was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue. New York. Both the New York World, and a Democratic paper, and the Louisville Post, a white daily, have editorially ridiculed the Louisiana court's decision as being a direct violation of the 14th Amendment and running counter to the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court in the Louisville Segregation case of 1917. The following summary of the case to date is released by the N. A. A. C. P.; "Benjamin Harmon, owning real estate in New Orleans on Audubon Street between Magazine and Meadow Streets, proposed to turn his house into a two-family residence and to let one half of it. An act passed September 18, 1924, by the New Orleans City Council prohibited any person of the Negro race from inhabiting any block in which white residents were in the majority, without the written consent of all the white residents. "Joseph Tyler applied for a writ of injunction to prevent Harmon from letting half of his two-family house to colored tenants. The case was first heard before the Civil District Court which ruled that the City Council's ordinance, together with two acts passed in 1912 and 1924, violated the 14th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution in that they deprived a citizen of his property without due process of law. Tyler appealed the case to the Louisiana Supreme Court which reversed the verdict of the lower court, thus contravening the U. S. Supreme Court's decision in the Louisiana Segregation. Case of 1917. "The Louisiana Supreme Court remanded the case for retrial in the lower court." It is the general feeling among colored people of New Orleans that the Louisiana Supreme Court, in remanding the case for retrial in the lower court is playing into the hands of those who wish to delay appeal to the United States Supreme Court and who hope to wear out the colored people by prolonging and increasing the cost of litigation. These people also hope that the United States Supreme Court will reverse its decision rendered in the Louisiana Segregation case of 1917. Dr. George W. Lucas, President of the New Orleans Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. writes that the colored people of that city have raised $6,000 to fight the case to the very end and "have yet enough on hand to take care of the situation." Dr. Lucas states that, "the best attorneys here consider their decision (of the Louisiana Supreme Court) in this case ridiculous." In a letter received at the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. on March 12, Dr. Lucas states: "You must remember the Judges of the Louisiana Supreme Curt are elected by popular vote and there is quite a sentiment here now among the poorer class of white people to do something to stop the progress of the Negro." klin Frazier, entitled 'All God's Chillun Got Eyes,' in which he tells of the humiliation a colored man had to endure to obtain medical treatment of his eyes from a white physician in the South; a description of 'Dark Algiers the White,' by Jessie Fauset; an essay on the Arabian poet, Mabel Ibn Cuhab, by Maud Cuney Hare; a summary of the Annual Message to the legislature of Liberia by President King; and poems and illustrations.

Davis, member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and a member of the Ohio Legislature, has succeeded in stopping a bill which would have prohibited intermarriage between white and colored people in the State of Ohio. Mr. Davis reports as follows to the National office of the N. A. A. C. P.; "I am pleased to advise you that on Tuesday, March 3rd, a meeting was held by the Judicial Committee of the House to consider House Bill No. 218, generally known as the 'Anti-Intermarriage Bill.' Of course, I appeared in opposition to this measure and invited also Rev. H. C. Kingsley to represent the Cleveland Branch, W. P. Dabney, representing the Cincinnati Branch and Professor H. A. Miller of Ohio State University representnig the local Columbus people. "Mrs. C. J. Ott, a member of the House from Youngstown, in which city the author of the bill resides, voluntarily appeared in opposition to the bill. Mrs. Florence H. Wells, a member of the House from Lucas County and also a member of the Committee, intended to oppose the bill but was prevented from being there because of the death of her father. She registered her opposition to the measure through Mrs. Ott. I am pleased to advice you that all the eight women members of the House expressed themselves at one time or another as being opposed to the bill. "Professor Miller devoted a good portion of his address to the scientific and social aspects of the question and I believe he made a very profound impression. There was in attendance at the hearing about a dozen members of his sociology class of Ohio State University. Mr. Dabney gave a splendid historical review of the subject, drawing from a large fund of personal experience and observation which he had had as a resident of Virginia and as a newspaper editor. Rev. Kingsley represented the church interests and I believe the climax of the hearing was reached at his denunciation of the bill as the MAGNA CHARTA OF BASTARDY. The Committee has practically decided to let the bill rest where it is and I do not believe there will be anything further come out of it." Mr. Dabney headed a Cincinnati delegation composed of Rev. Samuel A. Brown and Rev. B. F. Smith. Mr. Dabney has been an active opponent of the anti-intermarriage bill. H. G. BUTLER, MGR. Argonne Maintenance and Repair Co. Auto Repair in all its Branches.

O. king, failed to score a clean knockout against Battling Siki in the main event at Madison Square Garden Friday night, week past, although the bout was stopped by Referee Ed Purdy in the tenth round, with Siki in a bad way. It was a most one-sided affair, so one-sided, in fact, that many of the spectators left long before the fight, or rather the slaughter, was halted by the official in charge. The bout was scheduled for twelve rounds and Paul started off in a way that indicated it would not go the full distance. Battling Siki (why the Battling is a mystery) was on the defensive from the very first bell until the referee called it a night's work and sent the Senegal Frenchman to his corner with a technical K. O. on the record books against his name. Siki entered the ring attired in a brown silken bathrobe and gallantly stepped over to where his adversary was seated and bowed gracefully. When Joe Humphries introduced the lad from over seas with a conglomeration of superfluous phrases, the Senegal fighter left his stool to bow and thank the announcer for the introduction. After that the Singular One faded from the picture. It was all Berlenbach. Hammered all over the ring by the cruel, relentless fists of his opponent, Siki's sole aim seemed to stick the twelve rounds out. He made little effort during the thirty minutes of action to fight back, and many of the fans left after the fourth round. Siki proved a Joe Grimm for absorbing punishment, and might have lasted the distance, as Berlenbach was arm weary and tired. Frankie Schoell defeated Larry Estridge in the ten-round semi-final. Estridge, the colored middleweight champion, fought a peculiar battle. For seven rounds Larry forced the white boy from Buffalo around the ring, but seldom tried to land a punch. Schoell, when cornered, fought his way out, hooking, jabbing and at times crossing a snappy right. Schoell dropped Estridge in the first round, but Larry did not appear badly hurt and was up at the count of five, when the bell rang. After that Frankie Schoell was a bit more careful and did not seem to smack so hard. But he kept both fists busy, while Larry was all too cautious. Then, in the seventh round and with the fight practically lost barring a knockout, Larry cut loose. He chased the Buffalo youngster all over the ring and it looked as if Larry was after a knockout. The eighth was another spirited session and about even. But the ninth and tenth rounds were Larry's by a wide margin. WASHINGTON. N. I. W. M. HISTON.

The slender framed little youngster ran like an old, experienced miler instead of the mere boy that he is.

Victory Over the Kid Walk Miller of Georgia introduced Mister Bob Lawson of Alabama to Kid Norfolk and the Commonwealth Sporting Club again last Saturday night, and while, the lad from Alabam was a bit rude to the once great kid, he pleased the big crowd with a most spectacular knockout, in a little over two minutes of the first round, of the feature event of twelve rounds. In stopping Kid Norfolk in less than a round, "Fighting" Bob, The Alabama Bear, sprang one of the biggest surprises in many days. But the lad from Alabam gave the low down on the once great Kid, exposed the true facts as to Norfolk"s status and the sensational victory scored by Tom Gibbons over the former great colored light heavyweight. Norfolk is through as a contender and his brilliant ring career is near the end. Poor old Norfolk, is a has been. His opportunity came too late. But this does not take any credit away from the lad from Alabama. Bob turned the trick in a most workman like manner. He is only a youngster, climbing up the pugilistic ladder, not the experienced ring general, like the highly touted Tom Gibbons. And if Gibbons is entitled to a championship match with Jack Dempsey, for his victory over Norfolk, Lawson should be crowned champion without more ado. Norfolk's defeat came as a stunning surprise to the sport world, due to the building up of Tom Gibbons bid for a match with Dempsey. The Gibbons-Dempsey publicity agents billed Norfolk second only to Harry Wills and lauded the feat of Tom in stopping the Kid in six rounds as a masterly exhibition of ring craft and punching power. And the fight fans, ignorant of the Kid's true condition, fell for the bunk. In the first two feature bouts, Joe Hall of Buffalo, a highly touted colored lightweight, met and defeated Yves Horellou in a spirited twelve round scrap. The Buffalo scrapper easily evaded the wild savage rushes of the powerful French youth, but failed to impress the critics. PHIL GRANVILLE WINS HARD RACE FROM PLANT Big Canadian Finally Leads His Great Rival Home. Cook Runs Great Race. At the Knights of Columbus games last Tuesday evening, March 17th, (St. Patrick's Day celebration) Willie Plant was forced to follow Phil Granville over the tape for second honors in the mile handicap walk. The games were held in the old historic Madison Square Garden and two colored athletes, Granville of Canada and our own quarter mile champion, Cecile Cooke, carried off major honors. while thousands of Irishmen cheered them. Cooke, the former great De Witt High School runner, was pitted against Alan Helfrich, Vincent Lally, Jake Driscoll and Ray Robertson, in the Casey 600 yard Special, and ran a corking good race. The former De Witt Clinton athlete forced the great Helffrich to equal the record for the distance Cooke made his bid for honors a bit late but came like a rifle shot and passed the other runners in his desperate attempt to overtake and pass Helffrich, who won with about ten yards to spare. Plant's humiliation came at the great American walker's favorite distance, and was a terrible jolt to the athlete world. Granville, who is a long distance walker, is best at marks over four miles.

Phone Bradhurst 3488 Town Tattle Page 8 EVELEEN'S BOWER O: weep for the hour, When to Eveleen's bower The Lord of the Valley With false vows came; The moon hid her light From the heavens that night, And wept behind her clouds o'er The maiden's shame. The clouds past soon From the chaste cold moon, And, heaven smiled again with her Vestals flame; But none will see the day, When the clouds shall pass away, Which that dark hour left upon Eveleen's fame. THOMAS MOORE The last time that Count De Cassie, had the 90 horse-power simplex out for a ride, he returned to the garage with three cops. Gas merchants from the Kingwood have it that our worthy friend has bought a six-hundred dollar body for the dollar and a half car. We wonder if De Cassie's thoughts are Atlantic City, bound. A bachelor's life in its fullest must be sweet to Billie Williams. Some time past a dashing widow from Boston capivated him, then his hungering desire return to Kathryn Robinson, with whom he has a dinner engagement nearly every night. We wonder who it was that peeped over the transom when the lights were low. Did you tell the little girl about the ofay lady's photo that you are carrying around in your pocket? Mistress Mary why be so contrary? Just because your sister buys the Tattler we don't see where the economy comes in by remaining up until 2 a. m. waiting for her to finish reading it. When you are not sure of being able to do a thing well it is better to say "I'll try," and this is what the secretary of The Nest Club should have said to a certain lady. Dame rumor has it that the party was very much chagrined when you failed in your miserable attempt. Don't try to follow Johnny Cobb as he is a world beater. Booker Red, has purchased some "negligence," in fact he bought one hundred and twenty-five dollars worth, and is paying for it on the deferred payment plan, a dollar down and a dollar when you catch him; sorry ole top as you can't hire any more Mack trucks. Sam, the check room man of The Nest, looks very thin since entering the realm of matrimony. What will he look like after he has been married a month? Alberta and Mrs. King Tut, were seen visiting a rendezvous in another borough. What will Muriel say? Code instead of call signals are suggested for American wireless stations, for it would be extremely cruel to the South American amateurs if they had to pick up Harlem by the sounds of house rent parties Selecting fruit from the trees has been Mr. Wiley's latest pastime. Mrs. Ethel W. his charming wife never thought it could be done, but hubby has proved it otherwise by an affair with Miss Sadie Chase, who has a sweet way of doing things and was one of Ethel's best friends. However sweet Sadie's ways are they are nauseating to Ethel, who inetnds snatching her bald headed the next time she has the sweet effrontery of going out with Mr. W. "I. TELONYOUE "When the cat is away the mice will play." That is why John F. flooded the apartment with chippies, which kept him away from his appointment on St. Nicholas Avenue. Dr. B. W. we take our hats off to you, some nice looking lady that you had on the avenue Saturday. The word is being passed that Arlington Delsarte, the little fat boy from Brooklyn of "fur coat fame," has been ducking his room rent. Whether his nights are spent in the subway we are not prepared to say. His offense is known as cruelty to landladies. Another good looking matron whom we shall refer to as Mrs. Dee, is extremely sweet to Dr. P.'s wife. How can you do it? Remember that the China Doll, Green Jones, and the White Elephant have not been forgotten. The gossips have it that Mr. Andrew Herbert, of Saturday afternoon fame, was extremely worried last Sunday afternoon when Mrs. H. did not return at the appointed hour. It would be well if more married ladies would keep AT CAPITOL PALACE BABY An Artist Who Deli DANCE their hubbies guessing for when men feel too sure they are liable to get careless. The cruel red lights that send out their alluring glare from a certain apartment in 56 West 127th Street has the bachelors across the way wondering. While passing a Chinaman's Sunday night whose name is Hung Far Low, it was brought out that Jack G. is keeping company with a lady bootlegger by the name of Ruth, no wonder there is so much Old Simuggler at 2094. We see that Miss L. P. of St. Nicholas avenue has settled down since she made up with big boy. She could call up L. once in a while. We wonder how Williard gets rently at FLO'S, 2386 S THE INTER-STATE TATTLER that way when he says that he could take Maude back if he wanted to. Ha, ha, she has something to say about that. Kathryn Robinson went picture hunting Sunday afternoon. Did you want it for Billy ole dear? The newlyweds Walt and Vie were seen on the avenue Sunday Walt is all attention as he has been decorating the little alcove home with flowers and fruit every night. Mushmouth had better brush up her acquaintance with hard Arthur, gossips say "that he will soon jump off into the seas of eternal strife with his red headed mama." Husbands are very dangerous liabilities, especially some one else's. Black eyes generally rectify mistakes in Yonkers. I wonder what has become of Bessie Coleman; she seems to be mighty quiet. Buster be yourself and carefully watch your step or somebody will cut your time. I see Harold Davidson is beating BANKS ights Her Audiences. P. L.'s time and has the sweet mama E. H. Ethel Williams, look out for there is danger above if you play with sweet papa Oliver dear. Ruth Thompson is in town and now the fun for the summer will begin. Ethel Williams, do you want to go to heaven, you had better start praying when you read this for a certain girl is planning to give you a Kentucky beating, we pray that you may be saved as a certain married couple has something on you. A certain young lady S. N. of Lincoln Parkway can't wait for summer to come as she is practicing how to sit in her California style porch chairs. Seventh Avenue, New York ```markdown ``` CAN YOU IMAGINE How a beating will check many as has been proved from a certain South Yonkers lady? Ernest Hobbs, doing the Charleston as well as he does? Prescott Lucas, being an authority on Radio? Octavius Jeffries when he makes his debut on Easter Sunday? ALONG CABARET ROW The Club Alabama Revue, together with Sam Wooding's Band, have been invited to be the guests of honor of The Capitol Palace Club, on Saturday morning March 21 at a special breakfast dance known as Alabama bound. The Waiters at The Capitol Palace Club are getting on famously with their revue, thinks to the direction of Johnny Vigal. THE BREATH OF SCANDAL I met her sometime ago in our big city. And she hasn't changed a bit to me. She is young and lovely and all that. Olluring too, if you get what I mean. But with all of the foregoing, There are more outstanding things That somehow make her more fascinating, And lovely to behold most of the time. In fact, all of the time, as it were. Then, too, she is plain and ordinary; No pomp and fuss does she posses, 'But everything that's clean and fair Is what she always advocates. Bless her little heart. I really love to call her "Margaret." The Alpha Phi Alpha five lost to the Y. M. D. team last Saturday night. George Cannon and "Jazz" Bird were great-grate drawbacks. Frank took his little ones to the party Saturday night, but things didn't turn out so well. What was the matter, old man? Eloise Walker said she would be there and she was too, make no mistake. Dick Harvey had Enid waiting for him over there for a long while all evening it seemed—rather patient little girl, eh what. Good thing Bloss and Alice didn't decide to attend the party, for it would have been too bad, that's all. La Count Daniels says just watch for his coming out this spring. Saw him playing the little girl jam-up at the party Saturday night, look out for back-bitters, fellow. "Honey" Robinson goes to dancing classes every Saturday after noon, now. Ask Gertrude, she knows what's all about. My, what a conscientious fellow hat Jurvey Wilson has turned out to be or is it so hard a "jive" to make? "Skeeter" has the Omega team in good shape for the coming event the 13th of April when they expect to run away with the Alpha five—guess all the five hundred will turn out to witness the skirmish—a good deal of excitement is in store they say. Tonight the Brotherhood Fraternity puts over their big dance at Imperial Hall. Their benefit affair, you know. Alonzo McQueen took his girl to the show last Saturday night and by virtue of certain act the old boy kind-a lost his jive, if you follow. Too bad, Al, too bad. Just learnt that the other half of our office is engaged wearing the sparkle, you know—quite a lucky guy, we must say. Willie Long is all dippy about Gladys. We wonder if he can stand a little bit of biting? His back is big enough. Perry says that the Gaiety Club is raising "cain" up at Herman"s Inn every Sunday afternoon. He also says that the conditions are more than favorable--in other words the water is fine, come on in. The Fish Club climbs every day in their business is what Charley Friday. March 20, 1925. P. A.

Phone Circle 995. Bees told us the last time we stopped in to say hello and get a smoke. Saw Edna Williams over here to the Palace Garden opening, but didn't see Berkely, wonder where he was. We don't care where the Ugly Ducklings got their name from, but they ARE pretty enough to be called that, so that ought to settle it. Leslie Coles told us that it's wonderful to be married, but we think he lacks experience, so we will let it go at that. "Stretch" takes her out quite a bit, we see, can't kill him for that either. Florence said if Tommy was here she would have gone to the party with him, but when we got there, we saw her but "Tommy" was no where in sight, can't understand that girl, at all. Buster Jacobs we have a brand new jive, says she is just fresh from Florida, but haven't laid eyes on her yet, bring her around Buss, some times. We will have to try and find Mary Berges a job in some theatre or the other where they have an organ, she said she would like to play one where she can see all the playshows and all that sort of thing. Haven't seen Camille Cavelle around here for quite an age now, where do you keep yourself, little girl? Gracie Giles has really been doing what she threatened—to keep rather closely so that in the future things from the "blu grass state" might really come to pass. Friday. March 20. 1925. CLEVELAND, OHIO. STEVEN BALL, Contributor Hello. Bill The Elks' Band and social service committee will entertain the Elks at the Lliks' Home, 4419 Central avenue, Thursday evening, March 19th, 1925, from 8 until 1 o'clock. This affair is to bring all officers of Cuyahoga Lodge No. 95, I. B. P. O. E. of W. to discuss the efficiency and inefficiency of our order. * * * The Sheftels Review is some show and one of the best dress shows that has been at the Temple this year, and little Miss Mercia Marquez—it's too bad, Jim; we won't talk about Lillian, Ruth or Clara; they are some hot babies.

Alexander. * * * Miss Dorothy and Thelma Davis of Pittsburgh and little Silvia Collins of New York are enjoying the very best of health. They are with the Ollie Burgoyne Dark Town Strutters. * * * Mr. Frank H. James is having a wonderful time with the distinguished lady on Broadway, but I think the black-haired girl has the best go. He seems to be having a swell time since he quit the underworld life. Too bad, Mr. F. H. J. * * * Mrs. C. L. said Mr. E. L. is the only man she ever loved since she left her first husband. It looks as if she loves Mr. E. L. the best in the beginning. It shows it, because she does more for him than she did for the first I. B. sweetie, but anyhow he is a dead one. * * * D. C. M., of 2254 E. 46th, claims that he never lost his Sheba, but the Tattler reporter finds that H. R. is wearing a 250-berry band. H. R. is not going to Hot Springs. Baby Ruth was seen entering the Tattler Inn at 1:30 A. M., on March 5th, oo bad the ground hog did not see his shadow. * * * A. P. is loafing with the king of the bugs again. If you want the Tattler, see cockie doodle. * * * Baby Ruth is not satisfied since Bobbie don's come on Scoville avenue any more. * * * The Pig Meat has become very famous. He has lunch at 43rd and Central and his Hudson sport is seen daily on Scoville avenue. * * * Mr. G. S. fired on Miss Trulymay and was carried to the grand slammer.

We wonder why. * * * Ollie's chicks are creating an excitement in Cleveland, Ohio, they are. Too bad, Jim. * * * Dollie has been hiding in the Majestic since she arrived from Mammie Smith's show. We wonder why. Page Mr. Crump. * * * They tell me that Ollie Burgoyne will soon be a grass widow, so all the old sweethearts can stop crying; you still have a chance. * * * A certain brown told me she could not stand a cruel daddy. Too bad; mean papa. * * * Why don't Clarence Stevens quit missing Q's? * * * Miss D. D., of the Dark Town Strutters, the wolf of the show, has her bolo ready for action. Be yourself, Dorothy, and don't bust your vest, old deah. * * * It is the town talk that Mrs. Burgoyne has applied for a divorce. We wonder why. If you had been in Cleveland, you might know why. * * * Why did B. M. change her mind about rooming with L. G. as soon as a certain Harry put in his appearance? I see she is still in 403 and he's in P. D. Far be it from me. * * * Little Clave i Campbell, one of the fastest chorus girls, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio is spending a pleasant week with her relatives while playing at the Temple with Sheftel's act. * * * How come G. H. of Gonzell's act, stayed up all night waiting for a certain Sheba of Sheftel's act to come from Columbus, Ohio, and lost 75 berries. Look out, Jim; you may lose another trunk. * * * Where was Moses when the light went out in P. D. 4? Page M. M. and L. G.; they should know. * * * Mercia M., I know someone that loves you, but they don't know why. Can you tell him why? Ask the Tattler man, 3304 Scoville avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. We wonder who was the sheba that said, "Oh, Daddy, what are you doing to me. Poor little me. * * * Mrs. C. A. L. is having a good time in Youngstown, Ohio, with her family, but too much moonshine has gone to her feet, although she is 40 jim with me when she returns to Cleveland, Ohio. She is sweet, Oh, God, to sweet papa E. L. * * * Mrs. J. A. has refused to wash for her brother-in-law, so he has got to find another Chinaman or get busy himself. If he don't, he will belong to the dirty shirt brigade. So get busy, old boy, and don't be a big low. * * * Mrs. F. J. left Youngstown and went to New York State. She said that she can get all the can beer she wants, but she can't get no mustard greens and turnip tops. Too bad, Mrs. F. J. * * * Mrs. F. W., the lady of the evening since she has got her new pig meat daddy, she has refused to come to the Secret 4 Club. We must call court on her. It will be too bad, Oh, my God! * * * Mrs. M. R. and E. H. better stop drinking so much hooch. If they don't there will be a funeral in young Hollywood, and then it will be too bad for the sheik. Watch your step, girls. * * * Big Jeff has got him a new sheba from Chicago. He is carrying three bank rolls, but he had better watch his step, for there is a young sheik on his lead. Mr. L. M., it had to be you. * * * Little Willie, the olive oil kid, has almost lost his key on E. 33rd street, but he has a young sheba on 26th street and Woodland avenue. Too bad, L. W. * * * Mr. L. J. seems to think the winter is over just because the sun is shining, and he has soaked his bennie for five berries. Too bad, Didd. * * * There was a light bug at the Tattler Inn. Mrs. J. J. called to see Mr. Roy H., but he was being entertained by Mrs. D. B. in the rear. There were a few pet names called and a bottle whaling party took place. Mrs. J. J. went to get her smoke wagon, but when she returned Mrs. D. B. had copped her broom. Page Mrs. A. B. * * * Jim Tampa was paged today by the heavy brown of E. 33rd street. We wonder why. * * * Look out, E. B., you're about to lose your strut around the corner, hanging after R. H. If Mrs. R. H. had got to the corner in time it would have been too bad for you, so be careful. * * * Mr. G. T. has gone back to work since he has had the pig meat sheba while Mrs. G. T. is on big time the lone flat land prop, so be your age, Oscar, and keep that job. * * * There is a certain sheba living on a certain street. If she is living a certain sheik, it will be too bad for that queen, because he is sure to pull down her doghouse. He likes you, and thinks you are a nice little chick, so be your age. Miss A. S., I see H. M. is trying to get his key back, but you know what you told Mr. B. S. He is on your lead, so watch your step, old dear. * * * J. J. P. had better get a better porter. We hope the Hook man won't have to stand for the 8.50 that was for the coal and the 1.75 that was misplaced. Poor Oswald. * * * The money waster is in town again; the pistol play of a few weeks ago. The charge was annulled. Page Mrs. F. A. * * * The Little Dannie Young is in town after nine months' vacation. We are glad to see the little Dannie.

So be yourself as we know that is allyou can be. Advice from a friend. * * * Harvey T. we knew you were taking in washing and ironing but we didn't know that you were a chamber maid, too. We got a line on you around Hamilton terrace. * * * Mr. Herman S. we are glad to see you out again, we knew what the trouble was. * * * Miss V.

B. take the window and porch for some air. We are still wondering why. The bunch wants to know why Mr. J.

THE INTER-STATE TATTLER in the beauty contest. We heard Sam M. was at the bowling alley with his madam and two girls; we fear the wife had better watch out as we have yet to learn which one is in lead. There was quite an excitement at a certain Hotel about a certain indoor aviator swallowing about a half a dozen pins. It was said that she first asked her cast off Mr. J. N. for a piece of pie, and when she refused she was so overdone at the refusal as it was the first time that he had ever refused her anything she decided to do a bit of spite work to him and swallowed several pins, and went to him and told him what she had done, it really got the poor fellow's goat and he flung her in his Chevy automobile and had her to a hospital in a jiffy. After spending a few hours at the hospital waiting on a Doctor she returned to the hotel without the examination that's necessary for such cases. However, the effects of the pins must have switched from her to her cast-off sheik, as he was unable to sling any hash for a day or so. The pin eater came to work as usual, and up to now she is O. K. but the next time she asks that cast off of hers for a piece of pie or anything else, you can safely bet that she will get it, and she won't have to ask him the second time either, as that poor old Rajah has suffered the greatest shock of his life. * * * H. J. what is the holdback, has Evelyn B. cut those nights off, or is it the New York queen, you had better try it with one at a time poor pardner, as two timing may make you sick. * * * E. Willy, we are getting a line on your wild parties so watch your step old dear. When it comes to gin parties there is no one who is on the job any sooner than M. T. and when the bottle is being passed you had better forget that she is a woman and take your drink first if you want one, as a half a pint at a time is what she takes for one drink, so be on to yourself when you take her in on a party; we saw her and her fast company namely Robert T., Miss T. J., Miss M. W. and Bobbie T down at the Cinderella Inn the other night and she didn't seem to be at all dry, don't go too fast Miss M. T., T. J. and M. W., as you are liable to get caught in the bills of those Richmond town hawks, and that will be too bad. Sue R. now that you have moved up in the 2,500 block of McCulloh Street the bunch still follows you; just can't keep away from those Sunday and Thursday dinners, when you moved up there we thought you were following the swallow, but the joke is on the bunch as they will have to follow you to swallow, and if they don't follow they can't swallow. * * * Jim C. is at a loss as to what to name his cabaret, we suggest that you name it the Nest of Longboats victims, as if the girls don't want to take a chance on letting him stumble around the floor on their feet the most of the time. Herbert T. how is your tongue, the last time we saw you it was pretty bad off. * * * Mr. M. W. we heard that you was the the belle at the Vagabonds ball. * * * Chase better known as feet, who we know never had enough to eat, he spent five bucks the other night, and for the next week or so his meals will be out of sight. * * * Hon. you certainly have pretty hair, where did you buy it. * * * Marion W. you are not the girl you once was; did Calvin G. bring the change in your life. * * * G. D. we haven't seen you in the Tattler lately, did you buy that soap dearie. * * * Mac. S. why don't you take some junapater and get some high. * * * Nick C. who were the two banners you were walking down Pitcher with, their feet sure was singing the shoemaker blues. * * * Miss Hattie and Dorothy we think it is time you were changing your residence, since we see the music shop is selling out. * * * Who is the girl that dances at the Cinderella Inn in loose slipper, bring us a pair of dancing slippers dearie. * * * Turk K. you certainly play all alone sad, is it because little Aggie was given the gate. * * * Miss Millie H. how in the world did you capture that cute little Brownie. * * * Mr. and Mrs. John Hicks had their fifteenth anniversary held at their residence, 1617 N. Carey Street with a great surprise in their full dress suits, black coats, blue pants and piccadilly collars, six inch bow ties, coats too small and shirts too large, looked like clowns, chicken salad served with jello, wedding cake with candles and not enough ice cream to serve the guest, but plenty of peanuts, no more anniversaries for the next five years. So Mr. Hicks will be able to hire a full-dress suit, and not a blue pants buster, and the hooch was rotten. * * * Eva M. we notice the red light hasn't burned for a whole week, so the straglers who have watched it since September is at a loss where to go, we understand that you had treked over to D. C. to the inauguration, we suppose; but we hope not in the same outfit. Kid C. sure shows you a good time and is on to his self. * * * Pert H what kind of a job is this you have, we want to know, we know you are working but we don't know where. * * * Chif. T. and Clarence S. we see you posing on Fennells corner, are you paging sheiks for the Albion or just looking over the shebas. * * * Clarence T. we see your whole family has left for Atlantic City, and thought sure you were going to join them, but didn't, we saw you driving a truck the other day, you know you don't want to miss your sun baths this summer. * * * Tek. it you are worrying so because you can't keep your sugar from the bowling alley, why don't you walk around and see what the attraction is, maybe she would like a little company, surely she wouldn't be two timing within a stone throw of home, try it once. * * * Mrs. Hazel C. you must have a share in the B. and O., we can't see anything else that would account for your frequent trips to New York where are you going to settle any way? * * * Lil. C. we know you hate that trip every morning taking the kid to school but why should you worry when you have nothing to do but read true stories and work cross word puzzles. * * * George F. we didn't know that you were such a coward that you had to fight with bricks, watch out that Tomie don't give you something worst than a brick. * * * Alice M. what is it that draws you in Naomi's all the time, her radio or her affectionate ways, don't let Hester run you away now that she is a frequent visitor. * * * Mary W. we beg you to take your white fur coat and hat to Footers or the Golden Glow they need it kid. * * * Martha M. we know you have that mop of hair on your head and now that bobbed hair is the vogue no one notices it, so why do you always take it down when you are out, especially before strangers, we noticed you at Tooties not so long ago, that old stuff now don't go, so quit it. * * * H. M. the uptown folks are suspicious of you and will be foxing you if you don't stop two timing, we don't want the little banner out all hours of night, so cut that fast stuff. See.

The following are sheiks who need mammas: Dr. Love, M. D., and J. H., also W. W. and R. Y. Look these men up, girls. E. M. and F. S. are getting pretty close nowadays, even in school. M. H. and S. J. better stop playing hookey from school and get that old-fashioned love settled. Toad wore her overalls at the dance Friday and looked "40" in them, too. P. D. would rather starve than be out of town from little overall mamma. Say, Miss, J. D., it's a long trail that has no winding, and you know Mr. F. Z. is a good guide. Oh, Hellen, we miss you so much. Won't you come around some more? Ken won't mind it if A. L. is not around. The Miss Gladys of Farrel's seems to adore Mr. J. H. He is always stealing a sweet little kiss when she is not looking. Hot dawg, Lou, Mr. A. B. really knows his onions when oil is sold in dry goods stores. We all welcome Mr. E. Bacon back to our city. Say, ole boy, how is everybody??

Watch your step, old dear, W. D. may not like it. V. K., why try to act like your single, when you know your weenie in York needs you. I wonder why R. G. and R. S. are so often seen on Avenue B, around 10:30 P. M. Are they looking for some new sheik to ruin, or just showing the latest style in bobbed hair? Has Kid Diamond and his bright Mamma of Deen Ave. fell out? I see he's trying to rush G. D. Watch out Kid Diamond. Your Deen Ave. Ma hasn't got her habits on yet, but, oh boy, when she does. J. D. seems to like work now. How come? H. C. why hang out in the lowlands so much, don't V. S. suit you? I suppose the mamma in Lu Lowlands struts her stuff different from V. S. Ask S.

T. came back to town, didn't they treat him right down in Bip? Don't worry Smoke, you're no herring yet, but some broad's going to make a sucker out of you. A certain sheik and his sheba were seen lunching at a high class joint on Avenue B. Mrs. V. T. has some new rags. Did you get them while in Hbg. or since? They're the cat's whiskers. Here vamping's been out of style 200 years and a certain jane was seen talking to the sheik. Why does G. S. take his girl to Phila, so often? Isn't there any place here to take her where you're not likely to be known and can have a quiet game of pool. It's a sure wonder B. P. don't get tired of C. S. and his collegiates, but I see he now has a coat to match 'em. When did you make the raise C. S.? We'd like to know Some folks I know have such tight heads they can't tell when the knobs bust. Wake up Billie P. and go see the barber about some kink-no-more, it might do your head some good and make you better looking. Billie P.

When are you going to the Three Balls for your clothes? Soon? Bobbie, oh dear, you better stop shooting crap and playing poker and keep your money. Beat it to Phila, for your glad rags or that broad you've been wanting will get tired of waiting. Bud, why wait at 6th and Washington for I. W. Isn't there anywhere else to meet her? We wonder why R. G. of Mulberry St. stopped speaking to H. N. and C. M. C. Is it because H. N. made C. M. C. come in from in front of the church Friday night when he was out there talking? Why does G. K. and sister I hang out at B. K.'s on Locust Lane? Page Irvin, perhaps he knows. G. K., where was C. D. when Smithy of Lancaster was here Sunday?

J. still rush the broad of Moss St., or is he looking for new holes to shoot pennies in? Ossie of the Vamping Eyes was seen sailing down Penn St. the other day behind a push-mobile. E. M., why not get rid of them carpet tacks, that a certain guy said you had. Take some advice and use kink-no more. It irons out all the wrinkles and smoothes the curls. We wonder what made V. B. of Moss St. ill. She's been confined to her bed for some time. What's the trouble, old deah? Why was H. G. hanging so close to H. N. at the dance at Koseland? Is she the best dancer or just a pal you can't resist? Don't let your other mamma catch you. V. K. seemed to stick around H. N. also at the dance. What was your trouble, Slide? Don't let C. M. C. catch you. Why did Bob and his gal almost fall out at the dance? Say, Bob, you want to can that war whoop until your with M. C. She don't mind it, E does. Miss N. seemed to be enjoying herself sitting in the front of the hall at Roseland the other Manday. C. M., why not wear longer and looser dresses? They're more becoming. You've got a shelf in the back that any poodle would be delighted to sit on. Why does E. R. try to dodge Beau Brummel? Say Waterboy, are you trying all the janes in town to see which one you like best? Well, you're liable to sink if E. N. gets wise to you and E. R. Hey, Billie, why go across the street to B. K.'s to shimmy; can't your big mamma satisfy your wants? Well, A. D., we saw you on the old mule going out Locust Lane, Sunday. Go easy boy, go easy. Why does J. W. go to church Sundays and entertainment at the Methodist Church? H. as S. C given him the drop or has he got his eye on something there? Why did J. D. go back to the big city? Was it because H.

Zion Church last Sunday at 3:00 P. M. A Patriotic Concert in honor of the first man to die in defense of Liberty and Freedom of the American Colonies, March 5, 1770, Boston Commons, was rendered consisting of Solos, Recitations, Duets, Essays, and a chorus of 25 voices rendered patriotic selections. Addresses were made by Scout Leader Joseph Robinson of Troop No. 12, Miss Viola M. Jacobs, Leader of Troop No. 5 of Girl Scouts; the Pastor, Rev. J. R. Walters, Bishop J. S. Cardwell of Philadelphia, Pa. Wm. F. Kingsland acted as manager, Harold Walters, pianist.

Miss Dorothy Latham, who was ill, is able to be out again The Westchester Social Club was entertained by David K. Wisner last week. Some of the members had rabbits' foot in their pockets and pigs' foot in their mouth. A young lady mentioned, that every year, they were wearing dresses shorter. If this is 1925, I wonder where will they be in 1950? At Zion Church last Sunday, Mr. James Ferguson, who sings like Bert Williams, sang an original parody, that was a knockout; he is like Mr. Johnson, if his pistol misses fire, he knocks you down with the butt of it. BUFFALO, N. Y. NETTIE JACKSON-Contributor Mr. Jack Webb, who was host of a party given in honor of the Barnville Company in Cleveland at the Majestic Hotel, say, ask Rosie Singleton. He also had a radio party at his apartments during the inaugural ceremonies, a few of those present were Miss Nettie Kelly, 482 Michigan; Mr. Thomas Palmer, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Wells, Miss Fowler, L. G. Streeter of 176 Broadway, and California Jack, 239 William Street. News as taken by the Tattler in detail of the inaugural address. The Senate is approaching—The House taking seats on the south side, the Senate on the right, a number of State governors follow, the colors adorn both sides of the steps, with an officer on guard beside the colors. * * * The crowds are growing by the minute and on estimation about seventy-five thousand people are gathered about. All are seated, which concluded the ceremony in the Senate Chamber. The President is being escorted to the platform, which is the highest position in the land, perhaps the highest in the world. The band is playing "Hail the Chief." The steps of the Plaza before the capitol and the steps of the two wings are absolutely packed. Located on the steps of the capitol in Washington, D. C., on the east front just above the large official platform that has been built on the steps—there for the first time in history—the whole country will hear the ceremony, if they care to do so. A tremendous crowd to listen to any ceremony a few years ago, which was only a drop in the bucket to those who are now listening in, but cannot be seen. The band is now playing "All Hail the Chief." The Oath of Office "Calvin Coolidge, do solennly swear that you will take the office of the President of the United States; You will Protect, Preserve and defend it, so help you God." His Inaugural speech which you have all heard or read, was worded with the reason of good statesmanship, and went much to the future four years he is to serve. He advocated the "Common Brotherhood" of man by inseparable humanity. His belief in national protection, not a menace but an instrument of prosperity and peace—not by battle but by reason. What applied to us mostly in a race class was the statement "We cannot help those who do not help themselves. "Free government where the citizens make their own laws themselves are against the rules of society, and are not following the path of civilization, when they disregard the laws." This statement alone offers us, as a Race, a vague hope of support to suppress mob-violence—of which we are as a Race mostly subjected. Let us look forward for better, higher things in the next four years, under the "Pilgrims Progress." Why did some murmur as the Christians did of Moses in the dark ages because the President in his speech did not single us out as a Race, and designated something personal for or against us? Oh! narrow-mindedness or sheer ignorance. If the President would do so we would be forever doomed to class and race segregation. We are not under the President, anything else but real, red-blooded Americans along with the rest of the naturalized products of America's melting pot. Why decry one condition, and in the next breath expect it. I believe President Coolidge will do all he can for the rights of humanity in his own way and time stand by.

He raising his finger and placing it to his eye cried in a loud voice "All for one, one for all," but the revolution was nipped in the bud by the timely arrival of Government troops in a few rival of Gov. troups in a few moments the hall was dark and dreary.

Y., took the measure of the Tygar A. C. on last Saturday evening, after an obstinate struggle that made one of the season's best games. The Brooklynades played wonderful ball and well deserve the victory that they fought so hard to gain. The Tygars were slightly off pivot and are not disgraced by a one-point lead. The score was 29-28, which speaks for itself as the outcome of a real battle. Preliminary preparations were made last Friday evening for the young men's choir which will sing in conjunction with the young men's organization meeting at Messiah Baptist Church on March 29th. Here is a real opportunity for the young talent of Yonkers to exert itself. On Friday evening, March 13th, at the Fred Douglas Club, Sir Jacob Hall, past chancellor and present vice-chancellor of Lincoln Lodge No. 17, K. of P., tendered a candle light supper to the commissioned and non-commissioned officers of John C. Dancy Co. 10, Calanthian Drill Corps. The tables were beautifully decorated with candles and St. Patrick's favors. Col. James A. Thomas of First Regiment, U. R. of N. Y. C., and his adjutant, Capt. David Finley, were present. Col. Thomas, by request of Capt. Pollard, thanked Sir Hall for the evening's repast and sanctioned the motion of giving officers flowers while they live. Mr. John Henry Wood, of 26 Wood Place, died Tuesday after a prolonged illness. Mr. Wood, who was of Harttord, N. C., has been a resident of this city for many years, and became a member of A. M. E. Zion Church during Rev. J. J. Smyer's time. He is survived by a son, William Nelson Wood; daughter, Mrs. Pauline Wood Brooks; daughter-in-law, Mrs. Margaret Wood, and also a son-in-law, Mr. Frank Brooks A reception was given by the Royal Knights of King David, now in a club form, but which is soon to be organized. On Thursday evening, March 12th, at the Fred Douglas Club, Bro. Z. V. Kennedy, Grand State Deputy of the Royal Knights of K. D., who was to be the principal speaker of the evening, was unable to come and sent in his place Mrs. Glass, Deputy of the Lady Knights of K. D., and her friend, who made several encouraging remarks. Miss Sussie Johnson, of Nepperhan, favored the evening's guests with several vocal selections, among which was "Rose in the Bud." Miss Mary Trent and Mrs. Ruth Freeman were the dinner guests of Mrs. Katherine Cooper on last Sunday. Mr. Charles Whittoker, of New York City, was the week-end guest of Mr. William Freeman. Mr. William Siamson was called hurriedly away to New Jersey because of the death of his sister. King of the Hudson Lodge 75, of Peekskill had many visitors from the Hudson River district cities to attend their second annual reception including several from Yonkers Mrs. Herbet Sprague and her son Arthur, of 1 Cottage Place, and Charlton Berkley, of 3 Cottage Place, motored to Patterson, N. J., on Thursday, March 12th, where they visited friends. Mr. and Mrs. Louis T. Griffin, of Brooklyn, N. Y., paid a week-end visit to Mr. and Mrs. William Green of School Street. Miss Emma Thomas, of 54 Hawthorne Avenue, who spent two weeks in Brooklyn with her sister, and who also was taken ill while there, has returned home feeling much improved. Mr. Eugene Small, of 70 School Street, has returned from St. Joseph's Hospital, where he has recently undergone an operation. He is improving. The Misses Eva Patrick, Frances Atkins, M. Hilton end Edwine Smyer, of Lincoln Hospital, attended the basket ball game at the local high school last Saturday evening. SARATOGA, N. Y. The Sunday Services at the A. M. E. Zion Church were well attended. The Suiday School have begun active work for their Easter Exercises. The evening service expressed much spiritual fervor and the pastor preached a very stirring sermon. At the Mt. Olive Baptist Church a rally will be held on Sunday afternoon at 3:30. A minister of Albany will preach at the Eve. services the rally will be held and the amount raised will be announced. The N. A. A. C. P. met at the A. M. E. Zion Church on last Tuesday eve. to complete arrangements for their Post Lenten Concert which will be held at the same church on Thursday eve., April 16, 1925. A very entertaining play and concert will be put on by the members of the Dunbar Social Club and a most enjoyable evening is promised all who attend. Miss Tennessee Coon of Walworth St. is confined at her home with an attack of pneumonia. We wish her a speedy recovery. * * * Mrs. Norwood has also been confined at home with a severe attack of the grippe. We hope to see her soon. * * * Mrs. F. Jackson was called to Troy to the bedside of her sister who has been very ill. Mrs. Ruth Bonds is spending a few weeks in the city with her better half. New York must agree with her in every way. Mr. Zeddy Cochrane of New York City spent a few days in this city with his mother, Mrs. U. Cochrane and his brothers, Messrs. Percy and Lenard. His many friends were glad to see him looking so well and prosperous. A certain young Saratoga dame thinks she's the pride of the Spas, but she's "Only a Flower from an old Bouquet." Two young Try-to-be Flirts are singing the "Sidewalk Blues" and all of us know it. Ever since last Friday eve. Mr. B. J. has changed "Bring back my Bonny" to bring back my money to me. But it's too late. Heard from the sidelines: She— "Oh, you remind me so much of Brown Sugar." He—"Why, because it's so sweet?" She—"No, because you're so unrefined." There hasn't been very much gossip in old S. S. but now that the DODGE is out Gossipers have wound up the machines. Spring is here! If you don't believe it ask Miss S. D. because she certainly has the fever. Innocence is bliss sometimes, but always for Miss M. A. Omission: The Dunbar Social Club met at the home of Mrs. Mascot Wentworth on Middle St. on last Friday eve. This was a regular monthly meeting but due to the short time allowed them to give their drama and concert mentioned above, rehearsals will be held twice a week so that all part will be without fault. All enjoyed a delightful repast and adjourned at an early hour. ASHEVILLE, N. C. Johnnie Walker, the heart breaker, has got them all singing, "How Come You Do Me Like You Do, Do, Do." * * * I wish to state that I consider the theatrical profession has suffered a great loss through the death of Jimmie Cox. * * * My friend, I know you are laid to rest, to an unknown land we all must test.

P. has lost his job. * * * Mr. Dave H. was seen Saturday evening tipping around with Mrs. A. M. The poor sheik next day don't remember leaving home. The waitress and chef of the Do Drop Inn had some misunderstanding and the waitress is looking for her walking papers. Too bad Mrs. C.

L. has a million-dollar smile. We wonder if "dimples" has enything to do with it. * * * Don't let the boys kid you, Dorie; you know your berries, so strut 'em. * * * We don't know, but it's possible, old dears, that E. C. might have been struttin' too-last Saturday night. * * * We wonder, since Miss R. H. is the meanest girl in Hollywood, why she is so irrestible—M. L., you don't know, by any chance, do you?

THE TATTLER GIRLS PLAY PETER CLAVER Blue and Garnet Machine Will Invade the Quaker City For Inter-State Manager William Elmer Bradley, of the Philadelphia basketball champions, the Panthers, has booked a splendid basketball treat for the fans, when he successfully arranged for the fast-stepping New York girls' basketball champions, the Tattler Girls' Athletic Club's machine, to play the pride of Philadelphia, the Peter Claver girls' five, on Friday night. March 27th. The game no doubt will be staged at Musical Fund Hall, the historic battle grounds of the great indoor winter sport, and where the Panthers have endeared themselves to all lovers of athletic sport. The game promises to be the best girls' contest ever staged in the city and a monster crowd is expected out. Bennie Butler, manager of the Tattler Girls' A. &. S. C., will make the trip over with his powerful club and has promised to bring the entire team's personnel. Butlet is well known to Philadelphiaans, having played at both the New Dunbar with the dramatic players and at the Standard years ago with Luke Scott's old dramatic players. He has the reputation of being an excellent director and coach and has turned out one or two very strong girls' combinations. One very unique feature of the Tattler Girls is that they play in trunks similar to those worn by the boys. This novel innovation has attracted considerable attention and some adverse criticism. But just the same the girls make a very attractive picture and the fair-minded public has taken very kindly to the picturesque and natty uniforms.
