Later she appeared with Irving C. Miller's productions, as one of the pretty children of the chorus, and won instant favor. Almost perfect in form and rather pretty, this charming little miss is now rated as one of the stars among chorus workers.

Archer, dentist, and Vi- vian A. Renwick, optomertist. Their spacious parlors and rest rooms at 150 West 140th street, city, are the very last word in the equipment necessary for the treatment of their patients. Dr. Archer is a graduate of New York College of Oral Den- tistry now (Columbia) class 23 and conducts a dental clinic at the Hen- rietta School at West 63rd_ street. Dr. Renwick is also a graduate of Columbia class (22 and was former- ly a supervisor of Horticulture in Nigeria, Africa. Their offices are a scheme of mahogany and ivery and are well furnished for the case and comfort for their clite patronage. There is an atmosphere in their of- fices that is condusive te good health, associated with the highest pots of sanitation. THREE MASTERS IN ONE Doctors Thomas H.

ADDS THREE JUSTICES TO MUNICIPAL COURTS Assembly Passes Bill to Divide the Seventh Court District in This City Albany, N. Y., March 24—The bili. sponsored by Assemblyman Billups of New York City provid- ing for a change in the boundaries of the Seventh Municipal Court Dis- trict in] Manhattan and for three new Municipal Court Justices was passed in the lower house today by a vote of 85 to $52, Under the meas- ure the present Seventh District would be divided and the new dis- trict would be known as the ‘Tenth. Assemblyman Cuvillier, opposing the bill, declared it would be “im- possible to ever elect a white man in the Seventh District as a Muni- cipal Court Justice if this change is made.” It was brought out during the de- bate that the Seventh District, un- der the bill, would be made up largely of Negro voters. Democrats from Kings and the Bronx were opposed to the bill. They declared that if there were tobe any new Miumicipal Court Jus- lices created their counties shuold have them, instead of Manhattan. TOTAL NEGRO WEALTH IS $2,000, 000, 000 1 Two billions of dollars is the pres- ent estimated wealth of Negroes in the United States, according to E recent: survey made for the re- search section of the Amicrican So- ciological Society by Professor Monroe N. Work, of ‘Tuskegee In- stitute. “The wealth of the group in 1912 was estimated at seven hundred millions. The survey revenls great) prog- ress also im the mattcr of Negra education, the amount expended for this purpose by all agencies having been about $40,000,000 in’ 1924, as against $13,576,561 in 1912. Up to 1912 5,009 Negroes had completed college courses. Sinee that time the number has doubled. The de- mand for educated Negroes has been rapidly increasing in all fines, according to Dr. Work. The race has made decided gains also in the matter of health ‘The death rate, which wake 22.9. per thousand in 1912, has fallen to 15.7 in 1922, or a decrease of 31 per cent. A study of mortality among 1,800,- 000 Negro policy holders of — the Metropolitan Insurance company shows that their life expectancy in- creased from 41.3 years in 1912 to 46.9, years in 1922. For the whole colored group the life span has in- creased in the same pertod from 35 years to 40 years, APPOINTS SOCIAL WORKER | Richmond, Va--The citizens of | Richmond are especially fortunate ‘in having appointed as its director ‘of community work, Mrs. Alice Holmes Harris. A simple state- ment of the fact that Mrs. Tfolmes Harris is qualified to handle effi- ciently this work is more than suf- ficient in the light of the special training at the Chicago School of Social Work and comes to us high- ly recommended from the national headquarters. At the school for social workers Mrs. Harris was one of the leaders of her class and was perhaps the most popular member on account of her pleasing person- ality and affability. There will be incorporated under the supervision of the community recreation from the beginning, numerous phases of activity, bene- ficial in general to the people of the entire city; for both old and young, married and single, men and women, The work will be organized and developed along the following lines: Athletics, music, drama, health and special activities. Athletics for both children and adults among both the male and female. Classes in drama and music of all sorts will he under the direction of the super- visor and her assistants. From time to time, as additional features are added, and as the work in-_| creases in its scope. all sections of Richmond will be brought in closer contact and there will be a greater community spirit, all growing out of a common interest.

It would appear that some of the most intellectual races of mankind have produced literature, or that if they did it was in some way destined to the world lost by the destruction of the Library of Paris, we shall never know, but much of the wisdom that others went up in smoke at the same time and what light and said and did became lost to us. The discoverers of modern times have enabled scholars to re-examine the literature of Egypt and Babylon, but we cannot recover the better part. Beside of the Egyptians the African tribes appear to have created any literature. If they have produced any work most to us and those who produced it are unknown, it is blotted from the Book of Life. We attended a lecture at the Harlem Library not so often "Negro Literature," or something like it, was set of discussion. It turned out to be a very learned piece on the part white persons, mostly Southerners, mostly since the emancipation of the slaves, in producing Negro literature, with only incidental treatment of the Negro writers, most of whose work is considered as a signature at an. We made a beginning before the abolition of slavery in book, pamphlet and newspaper making, all of which make foundation upon which to build a literature we have been adding to it, and creditably, ever since, so we have a very promising literature of our own. We know of only three great collections of Negro literature in the United States at this time, but there must be one in the private libraries of race men who have come over days of slavery into our own days, and it is to be hoped that of these collections will eventually become a part of some of our universities, where easy access can be made. We are all interested in the movement of the Haity, under the direction of Miss Ernestine Rose, to department for the collection and preservation of the historical records and art of the Afro-American people in splendid movement and we should all assist in this as possible. Many old New York families are in poor attributive rare volumes or documents of historical value they should be glad of the opportunity to do so. State Tattler wishes that the movement may be enlightened. E have before referred to the fact that a race without a literature, a people like the American Indians, say, are as so many dead people. It would appear that some of the most intellectual races of mankind have produced no literature, or that if they did it was in some way destroyed. What the world lost by the destruction of the Library of Alexandria we shall never know, but much of the wisdom of the ancients went up in smoke at the same time and what they thought and said and did became lost to us. The discoveries of archeologists of modern times have enabled scholars to recover some of the literature of Egypt and Babylon, but we may never recover the better part. Outside of the Egyptians the African tribes appear not to have created any literature. If they have produced any it has been lost to us and those who produced it are unknown, their names blotted from the Book of Life. We attended a lecture at the Harlem Library not so long ago when "Negro Literature," or something like it, was the subject of discussion. It turned out to be a very learned discourse on the part white persons, mostly Southerners, have had, mostly since the emancipation of the slaves, in producing a Negro literature, with only incidental treatment of the work of Negro writers, most of whose work is considered as being no literature at all. We made a beginning before the abolition of slavery in book, pamphlet and newspaper making, all which goes to make foundation upon which to build a literature, and we have been adding to it, and creditably, ever since, so that now we have a very promising literature of our own. We know of only three great collections of Negro literature the United States at this time, but there must be many in the private libraries of race men who have come out of days of slavery into our own days, and it is to be hoped that some of these collections will eventually become a part of the libraries of some of our universities, where easy access can be had to them. We are all interested in the movement of the Harlem Library, under the direction of Miss Ernestine Rose, to form a department for the collection and preservation of the literature, historical records and art of the Afro-American people. It is a splendid movement and we should all assist in it as much as possible. Many old New York families are in position to contribute rare volumes or documents of historical value, and they should be glad of the opportunity to do so. The Inter-State Tattler wishes that the movement may be entirely successful. WHY NOT HANG HIGGINBOTHAM? HO is Thomas W. Higginbotham? He is the man who was found to be responsible for brutal abuse and murder of Martin Tabert, a young Western white man in a Dixie county lumber co in Florida, about two years ago, and for which he indictment for second degree murder. A complete of convict camp abuses was made at the time by York World, which led to some action by the legisla W Now, this same Higginbotham has been indicted for first degree murder by a Dixie county grand jury. Three other whites and one Negro are indicted with him. They are charged with killing after abusing, bruising and otherwise mistreating Lewis Barker, a Negro, on October 19, 1924. What is the good of indicting Higginbotham if he is not going to be tried and punished for his many crimes against helpless prisoners in the convict camps of Florida? What is the use? Why not try and convict and hang him dead by the neck? That is what is coming to him and he should be made to go to it without further delay. Florida, which has become the winter resort of the world and which Northern and Western white folks have been colonizing for forty years and more, used to be one of the best States in the Union as far as race relations are concerned. Now it is regarded as one of Are the white Northern and for the reversion to barbarism What is regarded as one of the meanest and most white Northern and Western colonizers respite the reversion to barbarism? It is to ask. Now it is regarded as one of the meanest and most lawless. Are the white Northern and Western colonizers responsible for the reversion to barbarism? It is to ask.

If all men had been chloroformed at forty, as Dr. Osler is said to have suggested, the world would still be wallowing in barbarism.

The proponents of the law argued that it cost the state $10,000,000 annually to maintain its mental defectives. It seems to us that this is a freak bill which may easily do more harm than good. It cannot reach the most dangerous defectives and degenerates, the rich profligate who have the means to defend themselves.

THOMAS FORTUNE Talking Shop is an obsession with many good people. They can't talk about anything except themselves and what they have done and are doing or expect to do. It is immensely interesting to them but awfully boresome to others oftener than otherwise. What does the other fellow care about you and your business, especially your private affairs? When you have poured it all into him he often retails it as choice gossip and it is passed on from one to another until it loses all of its original form and likeness and becomes pure scandal. When it gets back to the person who started it he is often surprised and shocked at the way it looks and sounds to him. Well, I seldom talk shop. When I leave my offices I try to leave behind me the worries an active journalist always has, with plenty of hard work and little of the pleasures and satisfaction that should go along with one's work. If a person does not love his work he will likely find it irksome and do it in a botchy way. And so many people are doing work they do not care for. They are misplaced and seem seldom never to get properly placed. This is always a great misfortune, but it is the way of the world, because a person has, for the most part, to do the work he can get and not the work he wants to do. Some of these misplaced people achieve great success, but they do it at the expense of their pleasure in the work and by determination to succeed anyhow. Happy is the person who is employed in the work for which he has a real liking.

The right to nature is know how to do any other kind of work, but there are phases of journalism, as of every other business, which are fearfully disagreeable and irksome. The journalist has to see so many people, often cranks with axes to grind and plenty of time on their hands he has to read so much good and bad copy to see which is good and which is bad, and he has to give his opinion on every question the office force fails to riddle for itself--he has so many worries of his own in the office that he is glad to drop it all at the home door and forget it for a season. Mr. Nahum D. Brascher of the Associated Negro Press of Service, which he and Mr. Barnett have built into a great institution for good, at Chicago, during the past few years, dropped into my office one day last week and spent a pleasant hour talking about the past and the present of Afro-American journalism. And there have been many and wonderful changes in the past forty years. Mr. Brascher came up in the newspaper game and knows it and has made a success of the phase of it to which he devoted his talents and time. That is saying a great deal. There are so many failures in every sort of race enterprise that it is a pleasure to meet a man who has been able to develop his idea to the point of success. Sure, I welcome Spring with open arms and do not care a rap if another winter does not come any more. Winter days in Harlem are always a pain to me. How are they with you? Friday, March 27, 1925 OUNCES OF PREVENTION By Dr. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association RUBBER AND REDUCTION "All bound with a rubber string" is the new refrain for the people who are fearful of fat or who are fat. There is a reminder in the latest scheme for reduction of some of the earlier delusions. No doubt, many of the readers of this article remember how the plasters of rubber relieved some of their friends. Probably you correctly suspected that the constant and more or less uncomfortable consciousness that the plaster was there was a potent factor in whatever relief they claimed to have gained. We can recall too the magic shoes and the belts which "carried electricity" and we must not forget the electrical ring which was supposed to generate electricity when combined with certain acids found in the perspiration of the body. The ring had to be worn on the third finger of the left hand because of the fancy that there was some sort of direct communication between that finger and the heart. (Witness the custom of the engagement ring and the wedding ring—the old belief that the heart was the center of the emotions). There was also a quaint idea that liver shaped leaves (the shape being important!) and liver shaped apparatus would, if placed upon the liver region of the body, cure liver "troubles"! We can laugh in kindly fashion at these curious and seemingly ridiculous fancies, would suggest that we ridicule them or from the height of our imagined superiority look down upon those who are fooled by what we know to be absurd and false! liefs. The human mind is extremely sensitive to suggestions of al sorts. In all probability, not one of the most acute of reasoners but has some cherished delusion which could not withstand cool reasoning! But why should we hope to take off weight by pouring ourselves into a mould which has the native ability of clinging tightly to us! Why should we blind ourselves to the obvious—that over-eating in proportion to exercise performed must, in the long run, produce an excess of tissue! If we squeeze it out of one place, it will find another. If we confine it to uncomfortably limited space, it is there just the same! Exercise which produces fatigue and induces perspiration will take off surplus weight, provided that the increase of appetite following exercise is ignored with spartan fortitude. WHITE PLAINS & MT.

The man of one talent and the man of five talents, alike, were impressed into the service of humanity at the point of greatest need. Special aptitudes and endowments were devoted to the common ileal. Gleams or glints of genius or high talent were acclaimed as preof of the Negro’s mental endowment and as justification for provision for his improvement. It is generally conceded that the Negro has great emotional capacity and gift of memory. He may be expected to excel in music, poetry and belles lettres, which rest upon memory, emotion and imaginauon. But he is deemed mediocre or deficient in the domain of the solid understanding. He has not been expected to excel in logical faculty and the power of abstract reasoning. ‘Lhe fullest refutation of this prejudice is found in the United States Patent Office which contains several thousand discoveries and inventions as evidence of Negro ingenuity and creative genius. it has been only recently that the Negro student's attention has been directed to the pursuit of science and abstract thought as a matter of serious study, : Our best colleges are new establishing chairs in astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology and the social sciences. Colored men are now quali- fying to fill these chairs according to the rigid requirements of the collegiate world, Quite a number are now filling such chairs with intelhgence and efliciency, A number ot colored students are now pursuing graduate courses in the several branches of science with the doctorate i view as the highest approved stamp of academic approval. In a few instances they have more than met the minimum requirements of these scientific chairs, but have shown indications of capacity for research calculated to extend the boundaries of knowledge. PE EES SV IS CLL: Sees) Ves eye research calculated to extend the | Research is a new word recently added to the vocabulary of college teaching. Roughly speaking, the funetion of the small college is to teachratherthan toinvestigate, while the function of the university is to investigate rather than to teach. There is at present no Negro uni- versity in the sense of the inves- tigative function. Notwithstanding this limitation, several colored teachers have shown the ambition to Jaunch out upon the higher ways of investigation. Genius cannot be restrained by in- stitutional limitations. Many of the ilustrious names in the annals of science have net only come from the small college, but have fallen wholly without the limits of col- leve walls. tay Among the colored men who have gained distinction in scientific pur- suits might be mentioned the_late Dr. Charles TH. Turner of the Sum- ner High School of St. _ Louis, whose researches on the instincts of the ant and the bee gave him a na- “onal and, indeed, a_ international seputation ameng biologists. — Pro- fessor George W. Carver of Tuske- gee Institute, has recorded to his credit a number of discoveries and inventions in biology and chemistry resulting in several valuable econ- omic products. Tis ingenuity and intellectual resource are widely re- cognized and extolled. Others are deine worth while work of credit and promise. Dro KE. EL Just, Professor of Biology, Howard University, easily takes first rank among colored men engaged in scientific pursuits. Mr. Just is not yet forty years old. He wis porn in’ Charleston, South Carelina acd received his early edu- ‘lon am othe Charleston — public ichools and in the state college at Orangeburg. Fromt here he went to Kimball Academy, New Hamp- shire, where he was graduated in the class of 1907 with Magna cum Laude, being the only member of his class to attain that grade of distinetion, While in college his major interest centered in biology which has been impressed upon his attention by reading a German monograph on that subject. Upon graduation he was called to the teacherskip of Biology in Iloward University where he has labored till the present time. The urge of his specialty had such a compelling hold upon him that, he, by the severest sacrifice, felt impelled to spend his vacations in the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood's Hole, Massachusetts, the most fam- ous institution of its kind in America if not in the world. He has spent his vacations there in arduous re- search work for seventeen years without interruption. He soon be- gan to publish the results of his research in the biological journals. For the past ten years he has ranked among the first as a frequent con- tributor to biological literature, and is Widely quoted im learned treastises oi the subject. in lyl5 Mr. just secured leave of absence irom Mow- are University in oracr to spend a year im residence at the Umversity ol Chicago, trom winen instituuoen he received the degree of Ph, 1. in the class of 1Ylo, tie carned his dvctorate with the same disunction as Ins baccalaurcate—Magna cum Laude, ‘Lhe National Assuciation tor the Advancement of Colored Weople awarded Dr. Just the Spin- gaurn Medal in 1914, as having made the greatest contribuuen ot any member o1 his race tor that year. for the past live years, Dr. Just has been carmed as a research worker by the National Research Council which allows hun to divide his time between teaching at Lioward Uni- versity and research at Woods Lole. br. guct ts co-author with Dr. Lilhe, head of tue Department ot Zoology im)the University of Chi- cago, olsthbe secuon on Lertilzation, in the treatise on Citology cdited by Dr. EE. \.

It is generally conceded that Dr. Just has pushed the line of inquiry as far, and in some respects farther than any other investigator in America or ‘Europe. To stand with those at the top in any department of knowledge is a great distinction, indeed. | Dr. Just possesses the clemental qualitiés of intellectual superiority. He is natural, simple and unosten- tatious. His distinction has in no degree affected his poise or swollen his seli-conceit. He nas a becoming measure of Newtonian modesty. He vaunteth not himself, on account of his | accomplishments and is not puffed up. This modest is all the more remarkable because any mem- ber of a backward group who gets far ahead of his fellows is prone to glory in the uniqueness of his dis- tinction. A one-cyed man among the blind is usually regarded as a marvel for his feats of sight. But Dr. Just wears his distinction with hardly normal self-appreciation. Those of us who know Dr. Just intimately are convinced that he is not merely a narrow specialist con- fined to the diameter of the augur hole of his investigation, but feel acid LU WINCH le UCVUIcU lLoclcr ics. £LC PUSSCSSUS & CYeduUVE luddgyliauol dU Edseilidl LU SUCCESS AM any aiciu vu. albq“uury., 400 mls Comcagucs ae 4aunard Ulliversily wis aisigut mite viulllaly wedi s SULMIS AL testics die mnusl UNCAULy, wr, JUSL Mus U Ucep selse 1 Ta- Clad Fespuusivinty anu uury. 220 ve- meVeES ML wie pussivinucs os Lue aNCBYO WILD al uilated atu ule SHanADIE DEEL, ALLUUgI tis spe- Gaal dead OL Pestairci id as lar rer AmMUVEU, AS UNE Cale Latin, afuaa we uulndat OL Tacit Weare, yer ue MeVEY AHOWS NMuseil LO ve Ucceiveu vr Curricd Lou tur Tums wie vusic SUC SIUMLION LO WiliCu aie Is Reculy alive.

Naturally the question of many, is, what bearing will the commission's action have on the situation? Dempsey was not relieved of his title by the edict, just merely barred from action in this state. Regardless of what some may think, no commission has ever had the power to relieve a champion of his title. They may issue edict after edict and after all is done, their authority ends there and then. Yes, they may, can and have suspended fighters, managers, promoters and others connected with the game. But the suspension merely prevented the suspended ones from competition until at such time the commission saw fit to lift it. So the fact remains, that Jack Dempsey is still the champion, although declared ineligible to box in this state, until at such time he signs to fight Harry Wills. But does this help the colored contender? Has his cause been advanced by the action of the boxing moguls? Not much, if any. The action of the boxing commission is indeed highly commendable and places the champion and his manager in an unwholesome light. But it has not helped Harry Wills to any agreeable extent. James A. Farley, chairman of the commission has forced the issue and removed the question mark that has stood for these many days at the commission's door, in reference to a square deal to each and every citizen of the Empire State. But the public knew for all these many years, that the two Jacks, Dempsey and his manager, Kearns, were avoiding Harry. They did not want any dealings with the colored fighter. And there were sinister powers who supported them in their attitude. It was even hinted that the commission was opposed to the meeting of the two great champions and were in on the deal to prevent a colored man ever becoming a world's champion again. Now, while the commission has cleared up the situation as to where they (the commission) stand, we can't just see how Harry's cause has been advanced any. For the next year or so, Dempsey will be recognized as the champion. In fact, he will be so recognized until some opponent stands in triumph over his fallen form while the referee counts the fatal ten. And Harry may whip all the Gibbons, Renaults and whoisis the world over, but to no avail. So you may pin two little facts away some where for future reference. Dempsey will never fight Harry, and that Harry will never be champion. The cards are stacked against him.

By BENNIE BUTLER CELTIC QUINTET TRIMS RENAISSANCE BIG FIVE "Fats" Jenkins Indomitable Spirit And Ricks Deadly Shooting Feature Of Losers Play The Celtics, world famous basketball champions, defeated the Renaissance Big Five 49-38 at the Renaissance Casino last Sunday night before a record crowd that jammed every nook and corner of the Seventh avenue dancing hall. It was a fast spirited contest during the first half of play, with the visitors leading by one point at the end of play. But things were entirely different in the second period when the champions tightened and speeded up their play. The score of the first period was Celtics 24, Renaissance 23. The deadly shooting of "Old Good-eye" Pappy Hicks and the indomitable fighting spirit of "Fats" Jenkins were the outstanding features. "Pappy" dropped them in from all angles in that first half and kept his team up with the mighty champions of the indoor winter pastime. His team mates cleverly fed him all through this period of play and the former Pittsburg scoring "Ace" accounted for six field baskets and a foul, thirteen points in all. But to "Fats" Jenkins goes the real credit. This lion hearted little Spartan was in there fighting every minute. Time and time again when in possession of the ball Jenkins would desperately try to break through the Celtic's defense and carry the ball into the world champion's territory. And in addition to this, he played a brilliant defensive game and held his opponent all during the time of play. "Fats" was never discouraged and fought with a dogged determination that was fully appreciated by the thousands present. CARTER KNOCKS OUT ITALIAN IN FOURTH Harlem's Sensational Colored K. O. King Adds Di Lauro to Cari Carter, colored Harlem heavyweight, added Pietro Di Lauro, the Italian heavyweight contender, to his rapidly growing list of K. O. victims last Saturday night, when he stopped his man in the fourth round of the feature event of the Ridgwood Sporting club. It was a great scrap while it lasted, the Italian making a valiant effort to off set the superior cleverness and speed of the colored fighter but unsuccessfully. He fought with dogged determination, but the Harlemite was always master of the situation. Carter tipped the scales at 188½ pounds and the Italian 184. George Smith won by a knockout over Fred Mace in the opening round of the six-round semi-final. Wolf Larsen stopped Brown in the first session. Murray Gitlitz, of New Haven, Conn., a former Olympic champion, conceded sixteen pounds and a sound beating to Bertie Littlejohn, of Harlem, during their six-round struggle.

Agents and Distributors for THE INTER-STATE TATTLER THE INTER-STATE TATTLER PUBLISHERS 2372--7th Ave., New York City THE INTER-STATE TATTLER News Dances Cabarets Theatricals "FOLLIES OF THE DAY" AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE Abbie Michell, Billy Higgins, Kitty Brown, George Cooper and the Band Please The "Follies Of The Day", was the attraction booked for the week now ending at the Lafayette Theatre, with practically the same cast as was featured during the past four weeks, with one or two exceptions. It was a musical comedy extravagance, with many of the old favorites in the leading roles. There was the one and only Abbie Mitchell, that wonderful melodious song bird, the aggressive Billy Higgins working with a zest that was infectious, Kitty Brown and her dancing chorus aids, George Cooper, one of the best monologue entertainers in the profession, and Florence McClaim. The production, if we may use that term, featured several "bits" that furnished considerable amusement to those present on the opening night. Tim Owlsley's "Twenty Minutes in Hell," played by Tim and Sidney Kirkpatrick, in the long ago, was presented by Gulport and Brown, the latter playing the role of the devil. J. Rosamond Johnson's troubladour band entertainin in a way that was highly pleasing and were repeatedly applauded after each selection. Little Miss Jessie Crowford and her dancing Imps, Ed Peat, the Dancing Demons, all proved very capable entertainers. Considerable credit must be given Sam Craig and the stage hands for the work back stage, which always plays a prominent part in the successful presentation of any production. The scenic construction was something of a novelty that won hearty and sustained applause from a highly apreciative audience. THEATRICAL NOTES Maude Mills and Slim Thompson stopped the show at Proctor's East 125th Street Theatre. On the same bill was Onion Jeffery and the Dixie Band of Seranders, who also scored heavily. Eddie Hunter is rehearsing for the big time, information of which will appear in these columns some time in the near future. "Slim" Henderson from Philly, was in town for a hot moment and then vanished. The "Slim" one came by way of auto and some claim he autoed back. That is, it is beloved that he pushed the auto back. At any rate, he autoed have been in Philadelphia even if he wasn't. The gang at the "Comedy Club" are anxiously awaiting the next appearance of Billy Mitchel and Leonard Harper's famous cat team, Mr. and Mrs. Meow, who made such a hit several weeks ago in a love sketch.

Mallory, President of the Mallory Transport Lines, and Mrs. Mallory returned to New York yesterday on the Munson liner Munargo from Nassau, Bahama Islands, they announced the discovery of a musical prodigy in the Bahamas. They told how an 11-year-old Negro girl at Fresh Creek, on Andros Island in the Bahamas, sat down at a piano she had never seen before and played with such talent that she awakened the appreciation of Mrs. Mallory, herself a skilled musician. The Negro child fancied herself a great musician when she came into possession of the keyboard of a piano that had been washed up on the island by a storm, according to Mr. and Mrs. Mallory. The Rev. Dr. Webb and his wife, missionaries among the colony of 300 natives, called attention of tourists to the child and her silent keyboard. Dr. William Posey of Radnor, Pa., shipped a piano to Fresh Creek for the little girl. Mr. and Mrs. Mallory were entrusted with the presentation of the gift. "When she first sat down to the piano she seemed a little confused," Mr. Mallory said. "She struck a note or two, gained confidence and began t oplay immediately. My wife, who is a musician, said that the girl showed great talent. She amazed us all. Her gratitude was touching." Mr. and Mrs. Mallory visited the island home of the musical prodigy aboard their yact, the Bonnie Dundee, and they brought the yacht back to New York lashed to the deck of the Munargo.

The Englishman sprang a surprise in defeating the New Jersey colored boy, who has been winning very frequently in and around Philadelphia. Simmonds carried the fight to Johnny and proved too strong and aggressive for his opponent. Stanislaus Loayza, the Chilian menace in the lightweight ranks, continued his winning stride when he toppled over Ariamis Del Pino, claimant to the lightweight championship of Cuba, in the fourth round of their scheduled twelve round encounter. Loayaza weighed 134% and his opponent 131% CRUMP COMPLAINS Odell Crump feels that he is being slighted by the matchmakers of the various clubs and wants to know what is the real trouble. All hot under the collar, Odell pulled out a number of clippings when he walked into our office. "Fighting Bob" Lawson is Odell's objective, and he wants to match his fighter, Alex (Kid) Gibbons, with Walk Miller's protege. "The Kid almost had Lawson out in the final round, despite the big difference in the weights," said Crump, "and Lawson should give my boy another chance in a longer fight. But 'Tiger' Flowers will do as well, if Miller will take the match." Crump is after a young welterweight, a boy weighing around 140 pounds, and is willing to learn. Any lad desirous of taking advantage of this opportunity can communicate or call on Crump at Wynne's Gym, 2539 Eighth avenue, between the hours of 2 and 4 and 7 and 9 in the afternoons and evenings. The gym is located between 135th and 136th streets on Eighth avenue. ANNUONCEMENT Messrs.

FRAZIER A SUICIDE IN GERMANY Son of Georgia Slave Parents Found Dead From Gas. Was First Columbia Law Student of Race (Special) Berlin, March 25th. Moses Leonard Frazier an Afro-American lawyer residing here was found dead yesterday morning from asphyxiation by gas in his dwelling quarters, under conditions that plainly indicated suicide. Frazier came to Germany many years ago and had a tremendous practice in the courts of this city. He was born in Georgia, U. S. in the early sixties of slave parents who were highly intelligent folks. Frazier seems to have been married in Georgia, but the Deutsche Bank, which he asked to be notified in the event of his death, has no knowledge as to whether his wife is living or, if so, where. The police have taken over his effects and in cooperation with the American Consulate will try to find his possible rightful heirs. Frazier is believed to be the first colored law student of the race to graduate from Columbia University, New York, U. S. A. JOEY HICKS VS. GANS Joey Hicks, the clever hard hitting Pennsylvania middleweight, meets Italian Joe Gans at the Commonwealth Sporting club this Saturday night, in the feature event of twelve rounds. Hicks, who recently held the great Jack Delaney to an even contest in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., has been winning steadily and figures to defeat the Italian. But Gans will make the colored boy step, as he is a glutton for punishment and a hard hitter. In the semi-final, also of twelve rounds, Ruby Bradley meets Tony Takis. These two rugged little battlers should put up a fight fully worth the price of admission. DIMINUTIVE DANSEUSE ```markdown ``` THE DANCE TEAM BABY BANKS At The Capitol Palace Club, last Thursday night, March 19th, Miss Banks was the feature of the evening and was ably assisted by her sister Josephine. Their act was unique and created a sensation, due to this they have been engaged for a return engagement on Arneta Spencer's night, Thursday, March the 26th. It goes without saying that the Capitol will be taxed to capacity on that night, with Baby Banks, and her Revue of clever juvenile performers. Friday, March 27, 1925 Clever Cabaret Entertains The Feature At West 125th Street Burlesque Theatre The famous "Cotton Club Revue" is the feature attraction at Hurtig and Seamon's West 125th burlesque house, and played to crowded houses all the week. Off to a bad start, due to some misunderstanding in regards to the music, the entertainers found found themselves at the evening performance Monday, and won long and hearty applause from a highly appreciative audience for their clever work. The revenue is a special feature of the burlesque production, "Stop and Go," one of the best attractions on the "wheel". Erfords oddities was another specialty with the company. As usual, the colored performers closed the program and the hilarious wildfire dancing of the chorus folks proved very pleasing and was well applauded. Miss Bernice Ellis, the Oklahoma songbird, girl with wonderful voice, did not come up to expectations at the matinee performance. She seemed to drag her number somewhat and was guilty of a bit of over acting. But Miss Ellis can sing and no doubt convinced the folks of that during the following performances. Miss "Honey" Brown, chic dancer, was also handicapped by faulty playing of the orchestra, but put her numbers over in a convincing manner that left no room for doubt as to her true ability. DR. E.

The Mole Taking a Birdeye View of the Town The unusual crowd of used to be sheiks is gathered on Fennell's corner apparently trying to dope out a winning horse for the day. We recognize Jean W. with the New J. LEON JOHNSON York Telegraph showing the boys where in that the horse he has picked has got to win, as though the rest of the horses were three legged ones. Over on the other corner we see Kid S. the noted police pimp buzzing one of the bulls, although we can only make out something that looks like a chunk of soot; it makes us more positive that it is Kid S. that is buzzing the law. Up the avenue a little we see John P. the barber shop boy, khisking off a customer and we just know that J. P. has cleaned him well. He seems to make a better head-way at being a shop boy than anything else, keep it up kid, you may become a barber some time within the next twenty years. Going up the avenue we see the town's best dressed rajah known as Jimmie Taylor. He is absolutely the Beau Brummell of this town, when he slams that big light hat on his knowledge-box and strolls the avenue he is a stomping poor king. We see the little butter-fly of the curve Miss Z. P. with the usual score of Junior backbiters—cakeeaters and popcorn grinders, each waiting for his individual line of (who struck John) that she keeps to tickle them to their very toenails, after a word from that popular little sheba they feel that it is the end of a perfect day. We see something very dingy moving briskly up the avenue. We can't very well make it out, wait we'll put on our spy glasses. Ah, it's old friend Diamond, and we know just where he is rushing to. He is going up to Smitties pool parlor to catch Clif G. before he goes home so he can help the other boys to pay Clif's rent for him as they still try to beat him playing keeley. Our friend Les Wilson coming out of Jean's pool parlor who has proven to be the greatest bullet container in the city.
