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. H. from church Ave. was sure tipping Saturday evening, new everything. * * * Things that will never happen: Henry Howard getting back with Alice Randolph; Clarence Shepp getting married; Luke Wilson keeping a job; Charles Smith stop holding hands on Princess Street; Leonard Spow dressing up; Albert Scott stop drinking. * * * D. and E. H. had two swell thebas the other night. I wonder where Miss M. F. was at the time? * * Stanley Brown, the noted printer, is back with us again. When are you going to lower another record. 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.

P. is vamping S. B. rather cunningly. Wonder if she has discarded H. M. for good? * * * H. B. thought that he could play with fire without getting burned. Well, he didn't get burned, but ye Gods what a cut he got! * * * Speaking of cheap guys, the boys have decided that J. H. L. is the cheapest skate extinct. But he's with you providing everything is free. * * * A. C. was in town last week and we noticed that W. P. was her constant attendant. Well, backbiters will be backbiters. * * * Wonder why D.

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. W. sure were backbiting. * * * Mrs. Leon Nilson entertained her many friends at the residence of Mrs. Edna Frank. * * * The shower given for Carrie Cooper was attended by her many friends and she received many useful gifts. * * * Clauson better stop breaking up homes. * * * Where does V. C. go when he leaves the hotel? * * * Luke and Claude who are your new honnies? * * * Thomas how are all the gold fish? * * * Whitty where were you and Leona going? You should see Myrtha and Jannette do the fish tale. * * * Sylvia how many suppers did you eat Saturday eve? * * * Geo. M. better go home. * * * Irene is back—more noise.

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.

The bout was scheduled for twelve rounds and Paul started off in a way that indi- cated it would not go the full dis- tance. Battling Siki (why the Battling. is a mystery) was on_ the defensive from the very first bell until the ref- cree 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 conglom- eration of superfluous phrases, the Senegal fighter left his stool to bow and thank the announcer for the in- troduction. 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 ac- tion 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 limes 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 hit more careful and did not seem 1 smack so hard.

When you are not sure of being able to do a thing well it is better to say “PW try,” and this is what the seeretary of The Nest Club should have said to a certain lady.

Booker Red, bas purchased somy Spegligence,” in fact he bought one handred and twenty-five dol lars worth, and is paying for it on the deferred payment plan, a dollar down and a dollar when you cateh him; sorry ole top as you can't hire any more Mack trucks.

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. “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.

The word is being passed that Arlington Delsarte, the little fat boy from Prooklyn 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 Jandladies. 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? Re- member that the China Doll, Green Jones, and the White Elephant have not been forgotten.

The cruel red lights that send out their alluring glare from a cer- tain apartment in 56 West 127th Street has the bachelors across the way wondering. While passing a Chinaman's Sun- dey night whose name is Hung Far low, it was brought out that Jack G. is keeping company with a lady bhootlegger by the name of Ruth, no wonder there is so much Old Smuggler at 2094, We see that Miss L. P. of St. Nicholas avenne has settled down since she made up with big boy. She could call up IL. once in a while. We wonder how Wiltiard vets THE INTER-STATE TATTLER ) that way when he says that he could take Maude back if he want- ed 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?

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, Sut 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 Satur- day night. George Cannon and “lazz” Bird were great-grate draw- backs.

The game no doubt will be staged at Musical Fund Hall, the historic hatte grounds of the great indoor winter sport, and where the Panthers have endeared themselves to all lov- ers ,¢f athletic sport. The game promises to be the best girls’ contest ever singed in the city and a monster crowd is expected out.
