Mrs. Owens' bail was increased $800, making a total sum of $3500. Each of the "masseuses" involved in the case were held in $300 bail to appear as material witnesses. Mrs. Owens denies Since the hearing in the magistrate's court, Mrs. Owens claimed that rumors of action on a violation of the White Slave Act are groundless. "I visited Baltimore for the purpose of getting the girls, but I did not pay their carfare to Philadelphia. They paid their own." The police are making efforts to apprehend the writer of a threatening letter to Marguerite Ward, who is a witness for the prosecution. The note, typewritten, was tossed in the front window of the Ward's apartment at 726 S. Broad street last Tuesday evening. The police are tracing down several leads which they believe might lead to the arrest of the author. The note read: "Ward, you and your little yellow fussy had better leave Philadelphia. You have disgraced your race." Mrs. Owens, it is alled alleged, is still conducting her "massage" business, awaiting the decision of the court. She remains as calm as ever in the face of the charges brought against her and states that since there is no foundation for the charges she has nothing to fear.

TWENTIETH CHAPTER OF ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY ORGANIZED AT RICHMOND A new epoch in the social, cultural, educational, and racial up-lift development of Richmond, Virginia, was attained May 1, 1926, when Miss S. Evelyn Lewis, National President of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, organized an under graduate chapter known as Nu Chapter of this Greek Letter Sisterhood. The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority is the only recognized Greek Letter Sorority directly affiliated with Greek Letter Fraternities. The Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, with which it is allied, has accomplished outstanding work in many fields of endeavor as has been evidenced by the invaluable services rendered by distinguished members of its personnel, prominent among whom are: Mr. James Weldon Johnson; Prof. Elaine Lark; Attorney A. M. Mitchell; and the late Judge Terrell. In keeping with the true Sigma spirit, Lambda Chapter of Virginia Union University gave Nu Chapter a hearty welcome at a joint meeting Wednesday May 19, 1926 at 410 East Clay Street. On behalf of Nu Chapter the president responded to the hearty welcome accorded them by the "Brothers". Lambda Chapter numbers in its membership the greater portion of the outstanding business and professional men in every field of Richmond's bubbling racial activity. The officers and members of Nu Chapter are: Lillian Jackson Willis, Pres.; Irma B. Denny, Vice Pres.; Cornelia Churchel Horsley, Scribe; Sarah Gwendolyn Fields, Assistant Scribe; Lillian Lucille, Treas.; Inez Marian Cogbill, Marshall; Clara Margarett Wilson, Custodian; Antoinette Bowler Mosby, Editor. At the first stated meeting of Nu Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Mesdames Maggie L. Walker, the outstanding pioneer, successful business and fraternal woman of the race and Margaret R. Johnson, prominent in religious and educational circies, were elected to honorary membership. WHITE PLAINS. N. Y. Sam T. was seen strutting a new broad. What is the matter with Lillian? *** Mrs. M.

FOWLER was the 28 Winyah Avenue Five Orchestras Engaged To Present Popular Airs In Jazz Jimmy Wade And His Moulin Rouge Orchestra From China Heads List. Bill Brown And Famous Charleston Bearcats To Vie For Popular Favor. On Monday, July 5th, the Savoy Ballroom announces an excellent program of holiday entertainment with a special holiday matinee in the afternoon beginning at 3 P. M. during which elaborate presentations will be staged for the amusement of its large following. Five well known orchestras will be on hand both in the afternoon and evening as a special added attraction, among whom are Jimmy Wade and his Moulin Rouge Orchestras, direct from Chicago, Jimmy Vaughn and his orchestra from the Lucky Sambo show, Bill Brown and his Brownies, Fess Williams Royal Flush orchestra and the Charleston Bearcats. The Savoy will be decorated appropriate to the occasion and will be ablaze with patriotic splendor. Souvenirs for everyone attending are promised. The entertainment directors at the Savoy are seemingly tireless in their efforts to devise new and original methods of entertaining their steadily increasing patronage. Not satisfied with the presentation of Connies Revue, Florence Mills, Johnny Hudgins, Rector and Cooper, Club Alabama revue, Decoration Day celebration, July 4th celebration and a rolliking bevy of other elaborate offerings, not to mention the distribution of twenty-five hundred phonograph records, free to every patron on Fess William's Night, they new blaze forth with announcements for the months of July and August which makes one wonder if it isn't foolish to go off on a vacation while there is so much to see here in town. Foremost among these announcements is the addition to the program of weekly features every Tuesday night. A Bathing Beauty, Charleston Contest, a very original departure from the usual thing because of the unique combination of the two popular divertisements. A trip to Atlantic City for a full week in August with all expenses paid is the main offering for the Bathing Beauty Contest, but there is also five hundred dollar cash purse, Parisian gift packages to all girls entering the contest and the four winners each Tuesday night will be presented with beautiful one piece bathing suits and private dressing rooms to all entrants and to judge from the enthusiasm so far. Tuesdays nights will see a huge turnout in favor of the bathing beauties. This newspaper will carry full announcements of Savoy doings each week and we recommend that you watch the programs carefully as there is much to see at the Savoy during the summer. DAYTON.

Rable reservations for these celebritiés havaalready been arranged which will assur an evening of jollifiedtion sel- dom ‘vitnessed_in Harfem.

It has found jobs for half-starved men and women; it has helped to solve the economic situation by opening the doors of opportunity to the needy and deserving; and perhaps last, but by far from being least, it has done much toward breaking down the mythical color line and aided in wiping away prejudices. It is an organization to foster the spirit of good-will among colored and whites. As hostesses for the benefit, several of our most charming and beautiful young ladies have courteously agreed to serve. They are the personnel of the newly organized, “The Vagabonds” —Miss Mabel Smith and Alida Jones of Mt.

THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Published Friday of every week by The Inter-State Tattler Co., 169 W. 133rd St., New York City, N. Y. Telephone: Morningside 7212. A. A. Jenkins, Jr., Editor — Bennie Butler, Managing Editor — Wilfred R. Bain, City Editor- Advertising Manager — C. S. Reid, Business Manager. On Wednesday and Thursday of last week, the New York Evening Graphic carried a story by Alexander A. Rose, telling of his kisses and intimate relations with Alice Rhinelander. Rose's story was illuminating from the point that a doubt existed in his mind as to Alice's race when he first kissed her. We have heard at various times from Southern whites that they could tell in a moment when a person had just one tiny bit of Colored blood by just looking at them. This looking at them evidently failed Rose, who, by the way, is a native of New Orleans, for to quote from The Graphic, he said: "I kissed her and for the first time as the thrill of the embrace faded a doubt came to me as to her race." Rose laid much stress on the fact of his being a Southern gentleman, but the usual chivalry of which they are accused of possessing evidently is of the ephemeral kind, insofar as Rose is concerned, or perhaps he so decided to disclose his relations with Alice when he saw that he could profit withal, by writing his memoirs. No doubt, those who still believe that a man shouldn't tell, will no doubt condemn this Southern gentleman who parades his affairs publicly, giving one the impression that he was a choice bit of masculinity, eagerly sought after by Alice. However much he may be condemned, Rose has given us a new thought which perhaps will occupy the attention of the scientists. Just imagine twelve tried and true men upon a jury, sampling the kisses of some woman whose race was doubtful. Another thought occurs to us: we wonder if Alice on the night she kissed Rose had used a red-colored lip-stick—the kind that the mulatto and creole girls use in New Orleans. To quote Rose further, he stated: "The street light made her skin look darker than usual and it came to me that she was of colored blood." Poor little Southern boy. Even the street light mocked his vision. It would appear that if the kalsomine brush had not been so kind to Alice, its weakness would be more apparent under the penetrating rays of the noonday sun, inasmuch as Rose had seen her very often during the day. Yes, the finger nail and blood test might be junked for the newest test — by the kissing of one's lips. Disregarding the strictly political side of the question in which a bitter controversy surrounds the present administration of the Haitian Republic, the fact remains that its President, Louis Borno, is a visitor to our country and as such is entitled to all the courtesies and emoluments usually accorded people of his rank. When white dignataries of rank and standing in their respective countries pay us a visit, our white citizens are first and foremost in making them feel "at home." Banquets, teas, balls and other social festivities are arranged, with an elaborate eye and with the object of creating the proper impression. Leading citizens of the white race foster and participate in these events. It will not serve to enhance the political future of President Borno should he accept an invitation from one of Harlem's representative organizations to be their guest. It will serve in a measure to bring Colored New York into closer contact with this illustrious head of a Black Republic—one of the few independent nations controlled by our group. It will enable us to get a first-hand view of the real situation in Haiti and it may open up untold avenues of commercial intercourse. Foreign: London 17 Greene St. Leicester Sq. — Paris, 31 Rue Pigalle. VOL. II No. 19 — FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1926 TELLING ONES RACE BY KISSING NEW YORK SHOULD WELCOME HAITI'S PRESIDENT Haiti offers immense possibilities to the Colored American. If this were not so, white capitalists would not now be engaged in a death defying battle for control of the Republic. President Borno, being a stranger among us, and having heard the angry voices of some of his countrymen upon his arrival, may have felt that his visit to New York should be short. He may have felt that his presence was not desirable. But we take this occasion to say now that those who met him at the dock and conducted themselves with such lack of good grace did not represent the real citizenship of this Metropolis. Friday, July 2, 1926 Whatever their grievances might have been, the time to air them, according to the well-established American manner, was not after President Borno had been elected, but during the battle that must have raged prior thereto. In other words, those people who formerly lived off "the fat of the land" should now reconcile themselves to the fact that "to the victors belong the spoils"; be good sportsmen and accept their defeat gracefully. Angry yells at the arrival of a distinguished visitor will avail them nothing. It is for these reasons that we say: "New York should welcome Haiti's President." For we are firmly of the belief that his administration will be short-lived if he is not the proper type of executive. With the possible exception of President King of Liberia, this is the first time that we have been favored with the presence of a man who, although of a smaller nation, holds a position there equal to that held by President Coolidge here. During President King's visit, which was also surrounded with much unfavorable comment, because of the proposed $5,000,000 loan, a member of the editorial staff of the TATTLER suggested to the then newly-organized Association of Trade and Commerce to stage a banquet and ball in his honor at one of the large hotels downtown. The proposition hung fire until President King and his retinue finally returned to their homes; it was then passed upon favorably and was found to be an ideal suggestion. In the case of President Borno, another ripe opportunity presents itself to the Association of Trade and Commerce to do honor to a distinguished visitor. If the Association of Trade and Commerce feels that it is unable to assume this leadership position in the life of the community, then some other worth-while organization ought to come forward and do for New York's colored citizenry the thing that would place them a little higher in the estimation of their fellow countrymen. IMPROVING OUR MANNERS Editor's Note:Due to a mistake of a compositor, four lines were left out of the following paragraph which reads correctly in the corrected paragraph. The fact that you maybe a Pullman porter, a bootblack, or a servant does not signify that you are not as good as your brother who maybe a doctor, a teacher, or a journalist—we are all equal those of the former class to be rude to those of the latter who have decided to give their life expression because of their superior mental development. CORRECTED The fact that you maybe a pullman porter, a bootblack, or a servant does not signify that you are not as good as your brother who maybe a doctor, a teacher, or a journalist.

I'm just fixing ter go down to Washington, D.C. I ain't never been there, but you is, so chile, get me told; case I wants ter git inter the Sassiety crowd, "ther fo' hundreds". What you say? "Stay where I'e at chile, my money will pay me whar I'e goin and it's rite to that "Blacklaw Hotel". "Shet your mouth, Cinthy: What you say? Ain't nothing dark in ther but their picture moulding and that's yaller; Chile is they as evil as that? Well, it ain't no more'n I heerd befo. A friend of mine tole me that some culled folks in Washington really passes for white, thanking God I ain't never been thet hard up. Chile it's gospel, they really does it; them what's got dark relashions can't know 'em some place, it ain't curveinent.

"THREE MORAL MONKEYS SPEAKING" The gossips claim that a certain lady in "Strivers Row" refused Thomas Chavis' offer of marriage, and he became downcast but found solace in a huge dose of Mr. Castor's oil. "Oh, death; where is thy sting." Well, Monsieur Chief Run Fast, your remarks about being ostracized from society by decent people certainly sounded ludicrous from you. This young man who is to be ostracized is not married and does not run around with his friends' wives or any other man's wife nor does he make an assinine spectacle out of himself in sitting in Night THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Flesh and the Devil SAY NOTHING RAL MONKEYS Clubs, 'juiced', sampling the spits of ofays in the presence of others. We suppose that when you start the ostracizing, all Harlem will know you. Decent people have had their eyes on you for a long time. Listen; listen; gang Milford Brown and Ethel have got that thing fixed at last. Why does the gang think that he should have looked around a bit before taking such a step? Uncle Roberts, the millionaire Radio fan, of the W-H-N broadcasting station, has had a song ditty, written by Ann Lawrence, set to music for his little pals; the title of the song is "Send mammy back to me." Say, Valenia Caldwell, what happened to you in New York? You are some kid, born in Mississippi, live in Philadelphia and big time like a fair New York. Shebas may come and shebas may go, but Valenia stays on forever, "says which Bryant Williams". Why is it that Theodore Thompson of 144th street is so very popular these days? He has sewed up the midnite shows; page Edna. Now that the "Damnews" will go to twenty pages, its famous spoofs editor will have a few more pages for less news. Nope, we're wrong again as usual. The dean will devote two or three pages to his dedicated work of driving Bennie Butler out of the newspaper profession. Pearl Marshall was seen at the Paradise opening in Atlantic City last week, and Pearl was looking so aggravatingly sweet and the center of all eyes. Better hurry back to mamma Jimmy, and we don't mean maybe. Rumor has it that Goldie of West 144th Street arrived in Atlantic City with her sweet man last week and lost him over night. Yep, Goldie loaned the Whitfield Grace a couple of bucks and then Grace borrowed Goldie's Sheik for the night. But the poor Blue child of Noo Yorke didn't know notting 'bout it until she accidently stumbled up on the back biting party early the next morning. Frances Mason, formerly of the Savoy, was seen on the beach flirting with the life guards. Frances was supposed to be with the Connie's Inn Revue playing at the Standard Theatre of Philadelphia, not on the sands. Wonder who the lily like, steno of our office is in love with. Some have it's a doctor; others a lawyer and then again there is a belief that he is an indoor chauffeur. Well, if she would only get her mind settled and either marry the boob or ditch him, we would be mighty pleased. When it comes to getting the stenos tied hard and fast, you can't beat the TATTLER as a matrimonial bureau. Now it's Miss Susie S of Florida. But we have not seen the lucky man as yet. --- FAIR AND WARMER At The POUGHKEEPSIE REGATTA Spectators at the Regatta are wondering where Muriel Green, found room for the sixteen chicken sandwiches that she ate. Expect her to break out with pinfeathers most any old time. With one cigarette after another until sixty were smoked oh; nicotine where art thou? Dr. Art Paine, escorted four of the fairest damsels—the kind that the best turkish towels, would scratch their fair backs. Charlotte Weinberg from Jamaica must have received a special course in smoking oh; how that little girlie can talk. Lilly Mae followed the crowd and will live to learn another day. The girls outnumbered the men in "Fats" party four to three. They kept on asking all evening, for some one to sit in the rear seat, but Prexy preferred the front, some how. We asked "Fats" Bright how he enjoyed the bally old races, but he admitted that he gets much more kick out of the Howard-Lincoln game. Clifford Twyne, when he was told about the Regatta, wanted to know in what lane would he be able to find the Giants crew. We then handed him an official scorecard of the New York Yankees, so that he could be able to keep the scores properly. "Ripp" Day sung and accompanied himself at the uke all the way there. We asked him to stick to his uke, but he only stuck to the girl friends lunch in such a way that the poor thing was left out in the cold when she found out what it was all about. Bennie Dwyer was a bit bored all thru the affair, but oh, my when he started to discuss his getting married, he was very much awake. The speed King did not venture over eighty miles at no time during the day. News Item. It took Exel Dunford only two hours to arrive at Poughkeepsie, well, well, that is also news for the autoist. Schenk had a "hunk" bitten out of his back while out of town for a while. He swears that he won't leave now for quite a while. We don't blame the old boy at all. McDonald has a regular Boudoir where he conducts all his bible classes and all that now and then, mostly "now". More power, Mac, more power. Now that Florence is away, Thomas will have a good chance to run wild. Why Ruthy is still there, old man. Cofer is back in town for the Summer with that old cane and things of that sort that go to make a wardrobe complete. Price took the Dorothy to the Inn Sunday Evening and the old girl was very much in evidence. We always knew that she loves to be seen with those school boys. Don't you, old dear? Brad Weisiker as also at the Inn Sunday with the girl friend snatching a bit of New York's Night Life. "Billie" Freeman, who was given her walking papers from the Savoy, is now slinging the suds and gas to the patrons of the Gaiety Cabaret Club of Atlantic City. Yep; yes like it's hard to keep a good man down, it's ten times as hard to keep a high yeller with raven looks and an angel's face, from getting in somewhere. But at that, nobody wants to keep the pretty "Billie" down. Not real good. Marie Henry, that saucy child sweet smile spent several days in City. No wonder the sun was smi Sunday. It was the reflection of Marie smile. Mercia Marques, who has a great big ten room house in West 131st Street, seems to have forgotten the old gang. Mercia is seldom seen these days and we are all wondering if the pretty child has been converted and who was the guy who converted her. If you happen to visit Saratoga this summer, drop in Jack's Cabaret, at 72 Congress Street for a real sporty time. Little Bits Turner, "Babe" Jackson and Alberta Simmons are the entertainers. James Wright furnishes the music, sure cure for the blues.

Jean Freeland was married last Saturday evening to Norton Cumber. Rumor has it that the rain storm of that day was not really due to nature; it was C.

This is the place SAVOY World's Finest Ballroom. LENOX AVENUE 140 - 141 ST. Sport and Theatrical News BENNIE BUTLER, Editor It seems that my esteemed contemporary, Snoops, the clever spoof and fanatical editor of The Damnews, either envious, fearful or something of me, has launched out in another verbal assault in his vain effort to rout yours truly from the field of journalism. Now, Snoops is a good kid; just a wee bit envious, full of ego and bluster, but perfectly harmless. Snoops likes to rave and rant; he likes to hear himself roar; he is somewhat like the jackass that dressed in a lion's skin and brayed, trying to imitate the king of beasts. But he's a good scout, for he has said so himself. That makes it true. Just what is worrying Snoops is beyond me. But he certainly is a badly worried young man. Snoops, for some reason or other seems to doubt himself and is trying desperately to make the public believe that he is the best sport and theatrical editor that ever pounded an Underwood. I'm free to admit, that as a spoof writer he certainly is the snake's hip. Yep, you are a wonder. Snoops. Snoops discovered a couple of weeks back that I had made a terrible blunder. I used a cut of Tim Moore and by mistake put Tim Brym's name to it. Say, but he's sure a clever chap. The Boulin Detective Agency would find him a handy lad to have around for difficult cases. Shades of Sherlock Holmes, but that was a shrewd bit of detective work on Snoop's part. He sure did expose me that time. Snoops is the bane of my existence; he sure can discover any and every mistake I make. And, like the true servant of society, he immediately exposes me. Just think of a theatrical editor making such a grevious and gigantic blunder as I did in publishing the picture of a comedian and putting a musician's name under it. I should be electrocuted. Snoops, like a drowning man, grasps at every straw that floats within reach. Anything that sounds like praise or adulation for his marvelous and sublime inefficiency, he clutches most eagerly. Eugene Gordon, criticizing the AfroAmerican weekly publications, in the American Mercury, made reference to the sport and theatrical departments of a number of these journals. After praising the work of Rollo W. Wilson, De Hart Hubbard and James A. Jackson, he continues: "Other papers with readable theatrical news are the Amsterdam News, Chicago Bee, and mentions one or two others. Now, Snoops says he's not going to get puffed up over this praise, but intends to merit it. Merit what. Snoops, readable matter? I highly appreciate this Mr. Gordon and the masterly way in which he has handled a most difficult subject. He has courageously and most forcefully told the truth as to our publications. I did not approve of the editorial concerning him that appeared in the TATTLER recently, nor some of the unpleasant things that have been said. He is filling a gap in our journalism that long has needed filling. And the fact that he is writing for a medium like the American Mercury is pretty fair proof as to his ability. Now, Snoops, here is my challenge to you. Let this Mr. Gordon judge as to our merits. You submit twelve of your best issues, then come over to my office and pick out any dozen TATTLERS you wish and submit to this able critic for decision as to which of us is the "Goods." THE INTER-STATE TATTLER theatrical News TLER, Editor CLEVER ENTERTAINERS AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE Ed. Daly's Burlesque Vehicle Renamed Shake, Rattle And Roll, Full Of Amusing Comedy. Tim Moore A Classy Black Face Comedian Ed Daly presented his spectacular burlesque production at the Lafayette Theatre this week and surprised with a superior line of clean, spirited comedy, such as has not been seen here in many, many months. Under the name of "Shake, Rattle and Roll," Daly's aggregation of entertainers thrilled and pleased the audiences of the popular Seventh Avenue theatre such as seldom before. The comedy situations are exceedingly amusing and are handled by that resourceful master of the art of comedy, Tim Moore. The folks were kept laughing from the initial appearance of Tim until the final curtain. To appreciate this comedian, Moore, one has to see him. Resourceful, quick witted, and by temperament a comedian. Tim is at his best when placed upon his own initiative. Several times he pulled gags that the Monday night audience failed to catch. He was a bit too far ahead of his audience. The opening number featured Florence McClain and girls in a spirited dancing number. Then followed the "Whistling Chief," Walter Bryan. Tim Moore and Jimmy Ferguson followed next. This Ferguson, a clever lad, employs a lot of the mannerisms of other comedians, especially Johnny Hudgins. His work met with hearty approval by the audience. Izzy Ringgold, sang "Good Morning" and was nicely applauded. Then Tim and Ferguson, with Florence McClain and the mummy, entertained with an amusing bit. Following this came a number of specialties, all of a dancing nature. Joe Jordan's "Ten Sharps and Flats" opened this part of the program and then followed that saucy little daughter of Eve, Sussaye Brown, with some spectacular Russian dancing. Jack McCarver, dancing on skates, thrilled, and Mansy Richardson in his eccentric dancing, pleased. Alex Kent's dancing was very good, as was Jimmy Ferguson and girls in a strut number. Tim Moore got a lot of laughs at the expense of "Shortly" Lucas, the midget. Gertie Moore had very little to do other than swing a towel and advising Tim in the fight situation. Mansy Richardson tried his hand as a straight man, but Mansy is an eccentric dancer and comedian. Walter Bryan, known as the "Whistling Ceafe" should have been placed down with the specialties to break the monotony of so much dancing. Even Izzy Ringgold could have sung a number in the latter part of the entertainment and have greatly improved the arrangement of the offering. MARLOW KNOCKED OUT BY BROWN IN FOURTH AT COMMONWEALTH It took Al Brown just four rounds to add Billy Marlow to his new list of knockout victims at the Commonwealth Sporting Club last Saturday night. Al went after him right from the start. He got the jump on Billy and never gave the white boy an opportunity to get started. COLORED ATHLETES MAKE STRONG BID FOR TITLES Guss Moore, Phil Edwards And Wibecan In The Running Races And Snyder In The High Jump Do Well. Century A.C. In First Meet In the senior Metropolitan track and field meet of the A. A. U. at Ashland Stadium, Newark, N. J., last Saturday, four colored athletes acquitted themselves creditably and, while failing in their quest for local athletic titles, they again proved to the world the courage and sportsmanship of the Afro-Americans. Gus Moore, the schoolboy mile and cross-country champion; Phil Edwards, the sensational half-mile colored runner of New York University; Kenneth Wibecan, the crack sprinter of the newly organized Century A. C., and John Snyder, of the same club, made valiant efforts to win first honors. Edwards took second place in the half mile race in a driving finish, losing by less than a yard. Moore, boxed in in the first half of the mile race, fought like a tiger to get out of the pocket, losing much valuable ground and time. He got out of his early difficulty in the last quarter of the race, and, despite the almost impossible handicap, came near capturing the title in a most desperate bid for the honors. His running in that last quarter had the crowd spell-bound and the thousands present held their breath as he made his last great bid to win a most gruelling race. But the game little 18-year-old Brooklyn schoolboy found the handicap too great and he placed third in a very close finish. Kenneth Wibecan was fourth in the 220 yard race and John Snyder took fourth place in the running high jump. The Century A. C. scored four points in the club point scoring. De Hart Hubbard was ineligible to compete for the Century A. C., not having been a resident here for the required six months. This cost the Century Club at least 13 points. Hubbard would have certainly won the running broad jump for five points and was almost as certain to take the hop, step and jump for another five. And he would not have been placed worse than third in the hundred-yard dash, which would have meant another 3 points.

Decoration is now being put on by Miss Laura Wheeler, race artist, who has spent much time abroad in the study of her profession. The scheme of the decoration is taken from ancient African art and will be unique. The booth of the "Sesqui-Dressmakers Club" has been worked out with splendid design under the supervision of Mrs. Fannie Jones, a practical dressmaker and a leader in artistic fashions. The club consists of 25 persons who have combined to put on a splendid exhibition of race efficiency in that line. Cheyney Normal School is featuring the subject of education, particularly as relates to the history of the Quakers in their aid to colored people. Among other features developed will be a medical exhibit in the form of a miniature emergency hospital under the supervision of Dr. John P. Turner. A trained nurse and an interne have been detailed from local hospitals to be constantly in attendance and to attend emergency cases as well as to exhibit hospital achievements of our group. The manager of the exhibit, T. J. Calloway, announces that this exhibit, when completed, will be the most unique of its kind in that all features are being worked out on the basis of excellence in detail. No exhibits have been shown which do not stand out as representing distinctive contributions to the race advancement. The pageant "Loyalty's Gift," under the direction of Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, will be held in the magnificent Auditorium with a seating capacity of 20,000 on July 12th. Louis Borno, President of the Republic of Haiti, and Mme. Borno, are among the foreign guests soon expected to visit the Exposition. Special courtesies are to be extended by the Sesqui officials. Visitors to the Sesqui grounds are surprised at the rather liberal number of colored workers employed in every phase of the activities of construction and service there. Unusual provision has been made by colored citizens in making available comfortable rooms for visitors in good homes through the activities of the Sesqui Housing Commission at 1504 South Street. Reservations can be made in advance without cost through this agency. Mrs. Lena Trent Gordon has been in touch with many exhibitors in her efforts to stimulate interest in placing in the exhibit space unusual accomplishments of the race.

BEACH SEGREGATION Despite the fact that the authorities stationed three colored life guards at Bellevue Avenue, between Florida and Texas Avenues on the beach, several hundred bathers of our group saw fit to ignore the hint and proceeded to regale themselves in old Father Neptune's salty waters in and around the aristocratic Indiana Avenue section. This was the second hint given colored bathers that they are undesirable guests in this vicinity. The first hint was when the authorities, perhaps it was the hotel people, saw fit to wall up " touches under the boardwall at this point. But here of late, Aunt Dinah's children are somewhat slow about taking a hint. Only two girls, one who was the sweetheart or wife of one of the guards at the Bellevue Station, were on the beach where the brown skin sheiks of the brimy waters did duty. The other girl happened to be the friends of the first and only naturally accompanied her buddy on the love trail or tryst. This questionable segregation policy of the City Fathers, sponsored no doubt by the hotel people, is going to cause a lot of trouble. Colored people are about tired of the insults and infamy heaped upon them, and there's going to be a reckoning some of these days. It's only a question of time when the question is going to be asked by some of our leaders: "Who is responsible for this discrimination and segregation, and why?" And then some of the politicians of the famous resort are going to find a world of trouble explaining to disgruntled colored voters on the eve of some election. That section where the authorities have placed colored guards, is where the riff-raff of the white people gather. There you will find almost every nationality that has contributed to the development of this nation. It is not that we Afro-Americans consider ourselves better than these people that we refuse to take this part of the beach for bathing. There is a deeper reason. White people as a whole seem to feel that all colored people are of the same level. We are classed under one rating, despised and looked down upon. The Jew, Italian, German, Greek, yes, even the Chinaman, of these white people now using the waters around Texas Avenue, with the accumulation of the almighty dollar in the years to come, will find the doors open to him or her everywhere on the Island. But this is not true of the colored man or woman, no mat THE INTER-STATE TATTLER WISE KRACKERS By JOE CAMPUS The ride back from Rancocas Park the other nite was a pain to all the shieks, especially "Coffee" Jones, "Rock" Oswell, and "Speed" Oswell.

The parties given for the graduating class of the High School were just too worse, in fact the one on Friday night was similar to an old time house shout. Wasn't it Dr. Campbell? Leroy, why did you leave Philly? Was not the graft good enough or was it that the Cadix turned out to be a bunch of thorns? And on top of it all Ethel is going to get married. Oh well, you had your day there. Thelma, we heard that the old master gave you a good lecture on the beach the other day. I thought you knew by this time that all men aren't monkeys. Bill Morsey, that was a great jive that you pulled off in Arctic Avenue the other night. More power to you, old man. "Tuba" Graves was seen on the Avenue Saturday nite. He was cruising as usual.

He still has the same old line. Tom Brown is singing "This is my lucky day". I don't blame him with a new car every year. Dave was in the new Paradise the other nite. We heard him say it isn't like last summer, but here is hoping. Doc Wright, as a druggit you are a bum carpenter; so take the hint. Ada, you looked rather lonesome on the beach Sunday.
