WHITE SOCIAL CIRCLES SHOCKED BY NAME OF MRS. KIP RHINELANDER APPEARING IN EDITION OF REGISTER
Mrs. Anne U. 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.

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? * * *

GOV. 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.

Vol.1 NEW YORK, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1925 No.4
CAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BE RE-ORGANIZED ON THE OLD LINE
THE National Democratic Party sharply divided into two parts in the National Convention, in New York, last June. 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

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 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.

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-

"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.

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.

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."

ANTI-INTERMARRIAGE BILL OF OHIO KILLED
Harry E. Davis of the State Legislature Prevents Nefarious Piece of Legislature
Harry E. 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.

BERLENBACH STOPS
SIKI IN THE TENTH
White Light Heavyweight Fails to
Floor the Senegal Boy in
One-sided Contest
Paul Berlenbach, the light heavy
weight K, O. king, failed to score
a clean knockout agifist Battling Sik
in the main event at Madison Squar
Garden Friday night, week past, al.
though the bout was stopped by Ref.
eree Ed Purdy in the tenth. round
with Siki in a bad way.
lt was a most one-sided affair, sc
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 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.

folk, is a has been. His opportun-
‘ty came too late.
But this does not take any credit
away from the lad from Alabam.
Bob turned the trick in a most
werkman like manner, He is only
a2 youngster, climbing up the pugil-
istic ladder, not the experienced
ring gencral, 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 mor
.do.
Norfolk’s defeat came as a stun-
ling surprise to the sport wor!d, due
o the building up of Tom Gibbons
vid for a match with Dempsey. ‘The
sibbons-Dempsey publicity agents
villed Norfolk second only to Harry
Vills and lauded the feat of Ton: in
topping the Kid in six rounds as a
nasterly exhibition of ring craft and
unching power, And the fight fans,
gnorant of the Kid's true condition,
ell for the bunk.
In the first two feature bouts, Joe
fall of Buffalo, a highly touted col- |.
red lightweight, met and defeated
‘ves Horellou in a spirited twelve
ound scrap. ‘The Buttalo scrapper
asily evaded the wild savage rushes 5

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 celebra-
tion) Willie VPiant was foreed to
follow Phil Granville over the tape
for second honors in the mile han-
dicap 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, car-
ried off major honors. while thou-
sands of Irishmen cheered them.
Cooke, the former great De Witt
High School runner, was _ pitted
against Alan Helfrich, Vincent
Lally, Jake Driscoll and Ray Rob-
ertson, in the Casey 600 yard Spe-
cial, and ran a corking good race.
The former De Witt Clinton ath-
lete 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
2 long distance walker, is best at
marks over four miles.
But last night he was at his best

ANSELL BACK FROM
FOREIGN INVASION
| Ansell Bell, the shifty hard hit-
ting little bantamweight fighter who
has made New York his home in
recent years, returnde from a long
trip that carried him to far away
Australia, then to the Phillipines
and finally China, from where he
took a ship, the Empress of Aus-
tralia, of the Canadian Pacific line,
for the United States.
Bell, better known as “Kid
Buller" arrived late Monday eve-
ning, but did not get in the city
until Tuesday morning, and rushed
directly for the Tattler office to
let us know and have us announce
his presence so the girls would no
longer worry as to his coming,
The Kid wants a crack at) the
bantamweight tithe and plans a
most determined campaign to force |
the white boys of his division fo |
face him inside the squared circle.
He claims the Australian and Phil-
ipines bantamweight titles, which
ie won by victories over the cham- |
yions representing them. {

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.

The last time that Count De Cas-
sie, had the 90 horse-power simplex
out for a ride, he returned to
the garage with three cops. Gas mer-
chants 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. mus+
be sweet to Billie Williams. Some-
time past a dashing widow frore
Boston capivated him, then his
hungering desire return to Kathryn
Robinson, with whom he has a din-
ner engagement nearly every night.
We wonder who it was that peep-
ed 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 con-
trary? Just) because your sister
buys the Tattler we don’t sce where
the economy comes in by. remain-
ing up ounul 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 “PW try,” and this is what
the seeretary 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 Johnuy Cobb
as he is a world beater.
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.
Sam, the check room man of The
Nest, looks very thin since enter-
ing the realm of matrimony. White
will he Jook like after he has been
married a month?
Alberta and Mrs. King Tut, were
seen visiting a rendezvous in an
other 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 ama-
teurs 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.
“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 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 gossips have it that Mr. An-
drew Herbert, of Saturday after-
noon fame, was extremely wor-

Mrs. H. did not return at the ap-
pointed hour. It would be well if

She is young and lovely and all_that.

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.”

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. We are all looking forward to the return of the Sheftels Review. * * * A band concert, dance and dinner. All Elks are permitted to bring one lady. Music by the Elks band. P. G. Lowery, director. * * Miss Nettie Chase is showing her oats with the Dark Town Strutters. * * * Cleo Sephus, it's too bad, is singing Any Woman Blues. Mrs. Viola Williams, do be careful, singing Somebody Loves Me, I Wonder Who. * * * Miss Dollie Conway is having better success with the Ollie Burgoyne show than she did with Mamie Smith. * * * Many friends called to intercede for the welfare of Mrs. Burgoyne after a whaling party. * * * Harrison Blackburn is making a big hit with the Dark Town Strutters. * * * Mrs. Burgoyne Strutters was highly entertained by Mrs. F. 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. Miss T. was out spoiling last evening. Too bad, George. * * * Miss J. H. lost all the berries and was fired on by Mr. J. H. 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.

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 swal-
lowing 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 re-
fused 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 sev-
era! pins, and went to him and told
him what she had done, it really
got the poor fellow’s goat and he
Aung her in his Chevy automobile
and had her to a hospital ina 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. Llowever, 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 cater 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

It gives us great sorrow to re-
port that S. W., the prominent
ticket taker at the Liberty, and
Miss ‘T. T. have fallen out because
of a letter. S. W, says that the
letter was concerning the motion
picture business. We do not doubt
you in the least old boy for Miss
T. VT. seems to think that it was
from a weenie out in Hollywood.
*** W. PLN. tells us that three
of our most prominent sheiks in
the persons of L. T. R., B. S., and
J. R. K. were unable to raise the
price of a Tattler in the drug store
the other night. We would suggest
that the next time they find them-
selves in such a predicament that
they make a draw on the Chatta-
hoochee River Bank as we think
that they will cash a bogus check
down there for ten cents. * * *

restaurant girl because she put too
mutch salt in his grits. We would
advise that the young lady try a

sweet papa. * * * Mr. William

was possible for those young ladies
whont we saw in the “rat coffin”
a few nights ago order a supply of
groceries without any charges. We
feel that Miss A. K. of Atlanta
should know about this at once for
we know that what it takes to tack

has it. You may expect your walk-

W. J. J. wants to know if you can

‘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 tollow, the colors
adorn both sides of the steps, with
an officer on guard beside the col-
ors. * * * The crowds are grow-
ing by the minute and on estima-
tion about seventy-five thousand
‘people are gathered about.
All are seated, which concluded
the ceremony in the Senate Cham-
ber.
‘he President is being escorted
to the platform, which is the high-
est position in the land, perhaps
the highest in the world. The
band is playing “Hail the Chief.”
‘bhe steps of the Plaza before the
capitol and the steps of the two
wings are absolutely packed.
Located on the steps of the ca-
pitol in Washington, D. C., on the
cast front just above the large of-
ficial 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 arc now listening in,
put cannot be seen.
The cabinet has come in, most
:very onc is in position. Bugles.
The band is now playing “All
Hail the Chief.”
The Oath of Office
“Calvin Coolidge, do solemnly
swear that you will take the ot-
ice of the President of the United
States;
You will Protect, Preserve and
lefend it, so help you God.”
His Inaugural speech which you
ave all heard or read, was
vorded with the reason of good
tatesmanship, and went much to],
he future four years he is to serve.
He advocated the “Common Bro-
herhood” of man by inseparable
umanity.
His belief in national protection,
lot a menace but an instrument of |
yrosperity and peace—not by bat-}
le but by reason. ;
What applied to us mostly in]
race class was the statement “We
annot help those who do not help |:
hemselves. 1
“Free government where the citi- !
ens make their own laws them-];
elves are against the rules of so-|,
iety, and are not following the},
ath of civilization, when they dis- |;
egard the laws.” j
This statement alone offers us, |(

-¢ are as a Race mostly subjected. |,
Let us look forward for better, |,
igher things in the next four],

CLUB NOTES
| The Criterion Social Club
‘The “Criterion Social Club” was
delightfully entertained by the At-
tuck’s Hotel on Tuesday evening of
last week. The girls were as charm-
ing as ever and acted as hostesses
for Will Vodrey’s orchestra from
the “Dixie to Broadway” Company.
The Attucks Hotel made the even.
ing even more than enjoyable for
its guest, Mr. Will Vodrey, director
of the orchestra, was “master of
ceremony” made an address while
other prominent members of the or-
chestra made short speeches. A
short but charming speech was
made by the founder of our ‘club,
Mrs. Eloise Craddock Harris. A
delicious repast was served and
cach and every one had a wonder-
ful time.

A very important meeting was
held at Mr. Gerald) Murry”s resi-

the various members, and officers
on having to leave such an enjoy-
able evening as was prepared by

THE TATTLER GIRLS

Blue and Garnet Machine Will
Invade the Quaker City
For Inter-State
Honors
Manager William Elmer Bradley,
of the Philadelphia basketball cham-
pions, 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
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.
Bennie Butler, manager of the Tat-
ter Girls’ AL & 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 Philadelphians, having
played at both the New Dunbar with
the dramatic players and at the
Standard years ago with Luke Seott's
old dramatic players.
tle 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 ad-
verse criticism. But just the same
the girls make a very attractive pic-
ture and the fair-minded public has
taken very kindly to the picturesque
and natty uniforms.

THE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON COUNTRY CLUB
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON COUNTY CLUB BUCKINGHAM, TA.
The Booker T. Washington Country Club in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is one of the most fastidious centers of Afro-American life in the domains of old Father Penn. Here the aristocracy of the Race gathers in the summer months to while away the heated hours of June, July and August and often tarry until the middle of September.
It's one of the most ideal centers for rest and quiet recreation, a place to really enjoy life at its best, where the elixir of life and the bloom of youth, can be found in the shady nooks and quiet retreats of the club.
Thousands of visitors from all parts of the country have made weekly motor trips to the promising Pennsylvania resort, and this season Mr. Lewis expects and is making extensive preparations to accommodate a greater number than ever before. A glance at the above picture is convincing proof of the popularity of the place, showing the hundreds of visitors' machines parked while their owners are elsewhere enjoying the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis.
Mr. John W. Lewis is now planning a campaign to enlarge the membership of the club, information about which can be had by corresponding with him at 67 Pennsylvania Avenue, Morrisville, Pa.
