If saloon keepers can see back the grand old custom, that we are not mouthing a mere fuss them a merry Christmas. BACK in pre-war days, which we fondly remember as the Goldgraben era, the Harlem saloon was a noble institution. Contrary to an eroneous notion that persists in some quarters, it was not just a grog shop where men met to drink and brawl previous to being clouted on the head with a bung starter and chucked in the street. Instead it was the scene of infectious urbanity where even the coarsest men were to some degree refined and polished. In its convivial atmosphere, despairing men, nagged away from home by shrewish wives and landladies, gathered to console each other with lager or more potent beverages while forgiving and forgetting the women who had done them wrong. In the cloistral back room philosophers were wont to assemble to discuss the large affairs of the universe and lament the errors of God. The saloon, in brief, was a refuge from the shocks of the world and a haven of thought quite as much as a hangout for seekers of pleasure. Then came the evil days. The 18th Amendment and the Volstead disaster descended upon us. Benevolent bartenders like good old Sam Hill and genteel Race King, with their efficient and conscientious service, disappeared along with legal and sound liquor and their places were taken by rapacious gents who sloshed poison across the bar with no more regard for the amenities of drinking than a decent man has for a Prohibition agent. Under the auspices of these foul fellows the saloon lost its whilom monastic atmosphere and became a den of thieves and Borgias, and discerning men avoided it as they avoid rent parties, chitterlings and Methodist revivals. It pleases us to note, however, that better days are at hand. Bartenders of the old school are to be found in some of the better places; radios have been installed for the diversion of the customers, and the drinkables, while by no means approaching the ambrosial quality of yore, are at least not a downright insult to the uvula and an outrage on the belly. Further, the old custom of giving a good customer a drink occasionally has been revived. Men of dignity may frequently be seen assembled before the bar and civilized discussion may be heard above the musical click of glass on mahogany. The saloon has regained something of its quondam venerable atmosphere. The movement toward reform encourages us to suggest the revival of another suspended custom of the old time Harlem saloon. At Christmas it used to be a fixed habit of Harlem saloon keepers to give male customers a bottle of rye as a token of good feeling and perhaps a bottle of sherry or port to take home to the madame. On Christmas day a gargantuan bowl of egg nog would be set out in front of the bar for the gratis consumption of all comers, including those who only entered the place to go to the toilet. May we suggest, in behalf of the bar flies and conscientious drinkers of the community, that this ancient and pleasing custom be revived during the coming holidays? If saloon keepers can see their way clear to bring back the grand old custom, they may rest assured that we are not mouthing a mere formal phrase when we wish them a merry Christmas.

To the contrary he is a cautious, conservative man who looks all about him before he leaps and then stands still. When he has anything to say he is inclined to under statement rather than over statement. Considering the President's temperament, we think his tribute to American Negroes in his annual message to Congress is one of the highest ecomiums ever paid to our progress. He says: "History does not anywhere record so much progress made in the same length of time as that which has been accomplished by the Negro race in the United States since the Emancipation Proclamation." Note the President does not say what has been done for us by white friends but what "has been accomplished by the Negro race of the United States" for itself. on using the name or alias of H. C.

Dear Santa: I know that I really ought not to ask you for anything this year; because I have already had so much unexpected good luck. First I thought the only Christmas carol I would hear this year would be Earl Carrol, and after they took him away from Atlanta I was very disconsolate. Now, I am out too, and am back home in Jamaica. So Santa, Dear, I do want so much to have a little sleigh and some little sleigh bells. And if you can bring me my little sleigh, please ask our w. f. that Mr. Schuyler writes about all the time, to please let me come bock to Harlem so I can play on my little sleigh. Your naughty little. MARCUS. * * * Harlem, Dear Santa. Thanks so much for nice little apartment buildings and wonderful little cars which you sent me last year; but I thank you most of all because Mr. Dempsey was so scared of me all the time. Maybe if he hadn't been so scared I never would have had my nice appartment buildings and my wonderful little cars. I really don't think I can ask for a thing this Xmas, and above all please don't bring George Godfrey. Your Playful Little HARRY. Chicago, Dear Santa: Thanks so much for the permission I got this year to bring my insurance company in New York and so many other states. The only thing I can asks is please don't send any epidemics like during the war; and please send my policy-holders a lot of good health so they can pay their premiums till they get a hundred years old; because the first hundred years is the hardest. ANTHONY OVERTON. Durham. N. C.. Dear Santa, Thanks so much for the Negro Fact-finding and Stack-taking Conference which you sent me this year. We all had such a lovely time. Nevt year, Santa, please, send me the League of Nations. And if they come Santa, please try to arrange it so that some of them can get their own passes and be sure that the latter are round trip. Your Co-Operative iLttle Boy, SPAULDING. --- St. Louis. Mo. Dear Santa: Since I lost my little tennis racket you sent me several Christmases ago, I have been playing with my little printing press in St. Louis. I am really a very happy little boy but the gang is kicking; so Santa please send me a pair of clippers and a brand new razor and above all please send me the heart to cut off my dearling little goatee. Your bawhiskered little BDGAR BROWN. --- Pear Three The Uptown New Yorker CHARMAINE THE uptown New Yorker has developed quite a case on Charmaine that lovable creature who pens for America's News Magazine which appears weekly in our midst from Chicago. What a run-about that morsel of femininity must be. She manages to spread herself all over uptown New York and covers no end of affairs all in an evening. She apparently knows everything except that Geraldyn Dismond, since she abandoned the interior provinces, is not Geraldine anymore. No one can deny, however, but that Charmaine is a whang doodle when she grabs her trusty typewriter. I, for one, am hoping against hope that she is a she and not a he. I am all up in the air because I can't imagine any she in Harlem Town not having turkey instead of roast pork for Thanksgiving, and without an invite to Philly for the game racket. And moreover how does she (?) get such a lowdown on what's said and done on the Chelsea campus? There is also a suspicion that she hails from Virginia, and Richmond at that, she is on speaking acquaintance with so many from Henrico County. The uptown New Yorker will divulge the names of three unusually good speakeasies and four red hot places in the Village, to the wise-guy who will advise him of the identity of this femme mysterieux. And if she will fill out satisfactorily the required questionnaire and submit her tintype and foodhandler's card I know an out of the way spaghetti shop where the red ink is not half bad. Charmaine, vous ettes tres charmante. OH. JOHNNY! JOHN BARLEYCORN has been officially if not actually a deceased, for lo, these many years. Little Johnnie Walker's name is only mentioned in hushed voice by the wealthiest of this land; but what has become of the Stagedoor Johnny? We are put at a loss to remember any definite legislation which ruled this gentleman off the boards, but come to think of it, it has been many a blue moon since glorified brownskin ladies have been compelled to shoulder their way out of ptown stage exits. The doll babies out front must be providing more of an attraction than the jazz babies back stage. It is a known fact that the latter are often upstage as well as back stage and after carrying them around on the three a day time are nothing if not hinckty. I am of the opinion moreover that the s. d. Johnny is indigenous to the inland provinces and not to Harlem Town. What a furore broke loose in Chicago when Shuffle Along appeared in that town which pretends to be bored by anything from Gotham. Many a Johnny continued for some time to hope that love would find a way in spite of the chorines' insisting that they were just wild about Harry. A year or two following they were Runnin' Wild after the Chocolate Dandies, and are now probably anxiously awaiting to find out about this here Rang Tang racket. GRENADES N addition to surpassing uptown New York in possessing insurance companies and banking institutions, Chicago remains far ahead of New York town in the gentle art of pimping. The experts in this line of endeavor apparently find lake breezes and stock yard aromas far more conducive of lucrativeness than Broadway atmosphere. So few are the P. I. aces in Harlem that the downtown dillitantes and villagers within our gates rarely, if ever, are exposed to the well known grenade. On the other hand the appearance into one of the southside night clubs, of each prosperous looking prospect, is the signal for many a sharp shooter to draw his trusty fountain pen, scribble his grenade, entrust it to the waiter and follow its course with innocent glances until it reaches its bullseye. The next day there is a mystrious phone call; and in a week or two a new Lincoln or Marmon is added to the line-up of red hot busses at the corner where 35th street crosses Indiana avenue. The gentlemen who rendezvous at this spot are far removed from the late rounder and the use-to-be jellybean; they are sleek haired shleks collegiate to no end. The State St. Grenadiers are ultra-modern even to the point of organization.' The Fifty Club which has nothing in common with the fifty-fifty theory is swank enough to utilize the mammoth Coliseum for its affairs which are comparable to the Miti Monarch functions at Madison Square Garden. The Great Lovers of the West may be walking those broads from the Gold Coast but for the uptown New Yorker "tricks ain't tricking no more." Fact-Finding Conference on the Negroe Fact-Fin Tennessee (4), Texas (2), Virginia (7). The Negro Bank has not taken its place in the field of commercial development. The first standard fire insurance company operated by Negroes was organized in Atlanta in 1919. The relative fire hazard involved in Negro business is no greater than white property of the same class. The ratio of losses to premiums written for Bankers' Fire Insurance Company is 34.4 per cent.—a lower ration than that of the six largest North Carolina Fire Insurance Companies. The ballot offers the solution of our problems. It is absolutely necessary that the Negro meet all requirements, prepare himself in every way, take advantage of the opportunity where possible and fight relentlessly for the vote. Texas has the greatest difference between the population and possible number of voters. Fcrreater B. Washington, Director of the Atlanta School of Social Work., Atlanta, Ga. Negroes Robert L. Vann, Editor of the Pittsburg Courier, Pittsburg, Pa. The display made by Negroes makes it increasingly more difficult to secure funds for charity among whites. On the other hand, the Negro does not contribute his quota to the community chest. He must be educated to enjoy inexpensive recreation. Unless we see to it that children are born and their living made possible, we will not need to struggle for rights. Crime is relative rather than actual. There is a marked decrease in crime in North Carolina. The family is demoralized by the move to urban centers; therefore we must concentrate on it.

A. Robinson, Department of Education, Raleigh, N. C. The facts about Negro Education must be collected and published to create a demand for improved conditions. R. S. Crossley. President of State College, Dover, Delaware The standards of the higher branches of Negro education are lowered by recruits for inadequate elementary schools. Our schools suffer from inappropriate buildings. funds and inadequately prepared teachers. Robert R. Taylor, Tuskegee Institute The race needs more trained mechanics. George Haynes Trades as taught in some Southern schools are not adequate. We must stop talking about Higher Education-vs-Industrial Education and educate our youth for life. Health and Home Dr. Roscoe Brown. Durham Health is purchaseable and costs less than sickness and death. You cannot raise a healthy family in an unhealthy home. Tuberculosis is the outstanding cause of Negro mortality and its rate is decreasing. The trend of Negro and white mortality shows no significant differences, but the curve of mortality among Negroes is greater. The Press P. B. Young, Editor of Norfolk Journal and Guide, The white and black press is responsible for the revolt against lynching and the increasing liberality toward Negro education. The Negro press has labored earnestly to administer its public trust fairly and justly. The Negro press as a press does not exist. Although one hundred forty has been given as the number of Negro newspapers, only eighty are in any way representative. It lacks a definite program. The problem of the press is to sell Negroes to Negroes. Education of Negro Youth Eugene Corbie, Student, Negro teachers must not isolate themselves from their pupils and must consecrate themselves to service. at Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, Pa. Direction and idealism must replace discipline. Negro youth needs a cultural background and an increasing amount of self-government. The Negro Youth and Present-Day Negro Leaders Our leaders must convince Negro youth that they have some purpose beyond selfish ambition; that they have ability and a whole (Continued on Page 15) Social Snapshots In spite of the highbrow and up-stage reason for the conclave at Durham, a sufficient number of friendly souls were present to make profitable a bit of fact-finding and stock-taking of a more intimate and personal nature each evening after the Elders aand the Negro youths who felt responsible for the Youth Movement had retired to puzzle out ways and means to confound each other. Some few people still cling to the old adage that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,,; and goodness knows I, for one, did not want to take any chaances on appearing more dull than usual at a conference to which only bright persons who could boast of very high I. Q.'s had been invited. Neither did George Schuyler, Billboard Johnson, Jack Nail, Harry Pace, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Floyd Calvin (when he wasn't in Winston-Salem), William W. Saunders, John Davis, Carl Murphy or Claude Barnett. So each night some, or all, of us met at Dr. and Mrs. Clyde Donnell's to tell tales and spin yarns. Of the Durham folks who contributed to our delinquencies, there were Bessie Wilson, Mill Miller, Attorney and Mrs. H. Thompson, Ed. Merrick, R. L. McDougald, Mrs. G. W. Cox and Eula Wade. The petite Lady Martha seemed to have an endless supply of delicacies and everything. Her palatial home on Lafayetteville street stood the wear and tear marvellously, and that also goes for her charming mother, Mrs. Merrick, Sr. ```markdown ``` MRS. A. MOORE SHEARIN, only daughter of C.C. Spaulding, a graduate of Fisk, a musician of great merit, a sweet lady, a charming hostess. The same Martha Donnell, who is about as big as a minute (a very beautiful minute to be sure) pushes a Cadillac as long as a country mile. And if you think they don't prefer Cadillacs—Dr. Donnell has one too. And while we are on the Donnells, the Doctor is the medical advisor for the North Carolina Mutual with one whole floor of offices in which are the latest electrical and X-ray equipment, assistants, nurses, technicians, restrooms, recovery rooms, operating rooms, and whatnots. How could a pain live in such efficiency? * * * * * * Just before I left, I drove by their two apartment buildings, the Martha and Margaret in Proctor street, aand took a peek at the hotel that they are putting up. Bessie J. Whitted, who writes the Durham Society News for the Tattler, and is cashier for the Mutual, had charge of the musical programme of the conference. She is the director of the choir of St. Joseph's Church and of the North Carolina Mutual Glee Club. Unfortunately, she had me wished on her for the conference. You can imagine how much I disliked having her maid serve my coffee in my room, and a car at my disposal. Terribly annoying. Almost spoiled the trip. 1914 DR. CLYDE DONNELL, head of the Medical Department of the North Carolina Mutual and the leader of the younger Durham contingent. Oron Whitted, her other half, who is field representative for the Royal Knights of King David, turned over coming from Laurinburg with W. P. Evans. Mr. Evans is the owner of the Evans "White Front," a $73,000 department store at Laurinburg. Now you know there's no need to even frighten a man like that. W. G. Pearson, head of the Royal Knights of King David, made himself rather scarce in my quarters. In fact, I only inveigled him out of one smile and handshake, although I had met him years back in the days when I taught school. The Citizens' Banquet on Thursday night at the North Carolina College was the last word. No fool in'. It was the best banquet on my calendar. Schuyler and I had decided that it would be another session of the conference, with the same people adding thousands of words to their already high records; so we went with heavy hearts. But the minute I entered the dining hall, hope flickered. The entire place was lighted with candles, and how could one talk on whether or not the Church is our ```markdown ``` --- * * * Page 1 of 1 only salvation in such a romantic atmosphere? However, I did not anticipate the delightful surprise the committee had planned. There was a clever verse for every guest, and as we enjoyed our fruit cup, fried chicken, potatoes, jeas, hot rolls, salad, Frdench ice-cream, and pastries and coffee, we listened to Mrs. ```markdown ``` MRS. CLYDE DONNELL, charming daughter of the founder of the North Carolina Mutual, none other than our dearly beloved Martha Merrick. Without her hospitality, there could have been no conference. Donnell's sweetly drawling voice and stood as our turn came around. Charming aand thoughtful. Those of the visitors whom you had not met, you had an opportunity to scrutinize and become acquainted with without expending any effort. It was my first banquet that was not arranged to bedevil one with speeches or pledges. * * * The stunning Nell Hunter, who is well known in Western and Eastern circles, was at home during the week. She got back from a twomonths' southern tour just in time to sing for the visitors. The A. Moore Shearins (Mrs. Shearin is Margaret Spaulding Shearin) have brought a bid of California to Durham. They have one of the rose-colored stucco bunbalows, and to complete the picture, a little brwn baby with sparkling eyes. Mrs. Shearin is an accomplished musician, and before she went in for babies and bungalows, had a black and white music studio over which she presided in black and white smocks decorated with jazz notes. * * * Wish I had the space to describe in detail the seven floors of the JIM CROW FACTS Wash rooms in colored coaches have no facilities for washing. A colored man, but not a colored woman, may purchase a Pullman ticket out of Durham over the Seaboard. In Virginia you can't eat in the diner until the other guests have finished; but you may eat in the Pullman car. Even though there may be no other passengers in the parlor car, conductors complain if Negroes have seats. icatre on — ealetatetss Mehaeabtal * eae eae < aon EP LOMAS Me, wee ei Jae oe Ge ged a L By. 2 oo : ey Me LO 2 wt fe eR ‘on AlO SAA Sumstac’ Bw BE gy , wf ¢ td So ret WE hal ae a Ff ru ey or ¢ we bi GE mgt BE 8 oi nt gH Be ph Aig” Kaas oot. a, 4, tee sheet np P a oe zs =e 3 = fi 54 . a & a ¥ ; ne : ph MAS x Wee ue os : Bagh? ban - « api fare, wo ne Age: wi eo ee et oat Patel oo” be ae mahi cee Mat POwLY ae yo: He ‘ wR pL Pa, he gle nee a Barr : . 7 tt vie k o * nae op. ee _ tse: ’ . or 4, “te . é _ #8 ME at 7 @ . 5 whee. ‘ ay Wr fas a gl wit Ft 4S .

December 10, 1967 ::: Between By LADY Around Washington LADY NICOTINE found Washington covered with snow last Sunday and enjoying a rain and sleet storm that was most disheartening. She attributed the bad weather to the fact that the w. k. Floyd J. Calvin and George S. Schuyler, who accompanied her, were both sporting canoes. The storm did put a crimp in their party because transportation was almost impossible and highly dangerous. Nevertheless, they did considerable getting about. . 串串串 Among their first trips was a visit to the Washington newspapers, The Eagle, The Sentinel and Tribune and the office of the Journal of Negro History. The Eagle is Grand Exalted J. Finley Wilson's paper, for which Robert Nelson, husband of Alice Dunbar-Nelson, is managing editor. ```markdown ``` Across the street is the Murrays' Washington Tribune with its own press. The Trib prints in addition to both white and colored jobs and its own paper, the Eagle and part of the North Carolina Mutual literature. ```markdown ``` At the Sentinel they wore in the midst of a general fall house cleaning, but took time off to show them their press. ```markdown ``` The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History occupies a two story home with its clerical force on the ground floor and Dr. Woodson's sanctum above. Here they found all the books by and on the Negro, a collection of pictures of noted Negroes, and journals, pamphlets and statistics on our group. ```markdown ``` Howardites, your campus is stepping out. What with a new gym and medical buildings, a coat of rich red paint, new gravel walks, and a bit of landscape gardening by the side of the reservoir, the grounds have made a bid for first place among campuses. * * * They started out with luncheon as the guests of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the University, in the cafeteria. To meet and welcome them to Howard had been invited Dean Kelly Miller, Edward C. Williams, head librarian, Charles H. Wesley and William Loo Hansbury of the Department of History, and Alain Locke of the Department of Philosophy. --- As is inevitable when deans and radicals meet, there was a lively discussion as to the work and contribution of the Elders and the part the so called new Negro will play in our development. However, they parted amicably, Schuyler still a revolutionist, and Dean Miller a conservative. --- It fell to the lot of Mr. Hansbury to pilot them through the Administration buildings, class hall, library, dormitories and the pride of Howard--the Medical Building. . Designed by a Negro, and graduate of Cornell, the building is a combination of beauty and utility. bility which has a definite and important place in education. There are laboratories, each bench equipped with running water and gas, adjoining lecture rooms, rest rooms, assembly halls and what is so often missing—air, light and adequate locker space. 串串串 As Dr. Scott talked of the school they heard over and over the phrase, "creature comforts," and know that here was a man who not only wanted books and teachers for us, but also realized the psychological and physical significance of attractive and healthful surroundings. 串串串 Fraternally and politically Washington had a big week. On Tuesday and Wednesday there was a conference with the National Committee man and a banquet on Tuesday evening. Among the distinguished visitors were Judge Edward Henry of Philadelphia, Robert R. Church of Memphis and Ben Davis of Georgia. --- On Wednesday and Thursday the heads of all Negro Fraternal organizations were called by J. Finley Wilson to discuss ways and means to assist in the fight for civil liberties. ```markdown ``` Incidentally, Lady Nicotine saw Judge James A. Cobb in action in Part Five of the Municipal Building. He has a way of soaring over the mass of legal terms that lawyers indulge in and getting straight to the epoint beneath it all. * * * The Northwest Section socially was enjoying a period of rest after the Thanksgiving holidays and in the face of the rapidly approaching Christmas season. 串串串 The Saturday night prior to their visit, however, had been spent by the elite at their country club, which is on the main road to Baltimore and about half way between the two cities. --- Folks in general had that billious feeling that will come sometimes after a huge evening, and took advantage of the Sunday storm to get themselves together. * * * However, the J. Cliffords had a box party for them at the Lincoln Theater, which by the way, is the most ornate house for colored people Lady Nicotine has seen and below which is the popular Collonade dance hall. ```markdown ``` Mrs. J. Finley Wilson, who was their hostess, supervised the usual preparing of meals, answering of door bells and in spite of the treacherous streets, drove them on their sightseeing expeditions. ```markdown ``` Attornoy and Mrs. George Hayes entertained informally Sunday, and Charloy Hall had what could be formed the farewell party Monday night. --- They just made the Limited at 0:22 Tuesday morning for Richmond by fast driving and a mad rush through the station. Page Mines With the F. F. V. LEARN A PROFESSION IT HAS been said of Richmond that it is the New York of the South. Lady Nicotine doesn't know whether or not that is a slam or that it would meet with the approval of the Richmondites themselves. But since her admiration for Harlem has been ridiculed, cursed and damned, for her to say that she can have as good a time on East Leigh street as on 139th is saying a mouthful. ```markdown ``` * * * At the station (railroad, not police) they lost Mr. Calvin. He had an idea that he wanted to be the first man at the Durham Conference; so he passed up the stopover. * * * The lovely Hattie Walker, daughter-in-law of Muggie L. Walker, met them with a limousine and liveried chauffer. At this point you no doubt begin to see why the Lady likes Richmond. * * * To save time (Mr. Schuyler had a business appointment with W. A. Jordan of the Southern Aid Society) they drove directly to the St. Luke Building where they were put through the torture of being presented to the entire force and hearing Mrs. Payne, the office manager, say things about them that they really didn't deserve, A section of our 8-booth modern equipped instruction room, where every branch of the beauty art is taught by competent teachers whose intellectual status is superb. Are you capable of making enough money whereby you can soon become financially independent— ```markdown ``` Eventually they were turned over to Mrs. Walker and directed through the plant. On the first floor is the press of the St. Luke Herald, which prints everything from a card to a book, and the sewing room, in which the St. Luke Regalia is made and stored. * * * Above are the offices of the clerks and officials, and Mrs. Maggie L. Walker has a private suite from which she directs the work of the institution. A profession at which there is more money to be made than any other legitimate business. Our next visit was to the St. Luke Bank, the management of which falls to the lot of her son, Melville D. Walker. The second story of the bank building forms a balcony on which are the board of directors' rooms and the office of the president, and from which they looked down upon busy tellers, cashiers and clerks. ```markdown ``` * * * The expected party was held Tuesday night at the Walker mansion, with Hattie Walker as hostess.. There were cards, dancing, much eating of Chesapeake Bay oysters and nobody sang "How Dry I Am." * * * The keys of Leigh street were presented by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Hayes, Attorney and Mrs. Scott Robinson, Dr. and Mrs. J. Curtis, Dr. and Mrs. Alice Harris, Miss Jda J. Booker, Mrs. Carrie Dean, Mr. C. V. Kelley, and Mrs. Mellville Walker.

They left at 7 the next morning and Lady Nicotine still contends that Richmond is too bad.

Alabama WANTS THE INTERSTATE TATTLER Beauty Secrets By Mma, Sura Washington Brushing Curve Dundruff It is necessary to know how to comb and brush the hair properly, as wrong treatment breaks the hair unnecessarily and does the scalp no good. The theory that brushing is bad for the hair is a fact at present, but one that doubtless will soon "pass out." Brushing polishes the hair, increases the moisture, and helps the circulation in the scalp. First, divide the hair into strands, then, twisting the strand around the finger, take out the snarks be now the twist with a wide tooth comb. This prevents the possibility of pulling the hair from the roots and enables you to get the snarks out. Little by little without breaking the hair. Having removed all the tangles, you should brush the hair thoroughly, starting from the scalp and brushing with even, rythmic strokes. Hair that comes out in the brushing is probably ready to come out, and if it comes roots and all there is another new hair to take its place. Hair that is regularly brushed, fifty strokes daily, keeps clean and gossy and vigorous, here other treatments fall, brushing frequently over dandruff, by stimulating the circulation and the action of the subacute glands (cell glands), incidentally, brushing the hair in excellent exercise for the arms and the muscles of the shoulders. Make this daily brushing a part of your preparation for bad sand than use the great improvement in your hair. $250.00 TO BE GIVEN AWAY At New York's Greatest Masque Ball NEW YEAR'S EVE NITE SATURDAY.

A fitting reception is due the sun, then, upon its first appearance in eight days. Halleluiah! Friday. December 16. 1927 Philadelphia MISS COOLBREEZE WITH so much rain, I did kill had decided to be our homes were about to "a due the sun, then, upon its Hallelujah! Awoke Sunday under a new moon, for a debate was to be held between Dean Kelly Miller and V. F. Calverton at the Royal Theatre, "Is Prohibition a Menace to the Structural Foundation of American Life?" Intellect was itself and came forth to display its interest and understanding. "Speakeasles speak easy but maloons spoke out loud," said Dean Miller. Just look what I have missed! --- Saw the University gang out for air. Hide and seek is no more. Monday night was Elks' night at the Roadside. The Quaker City Lodge and friends were in power. Asbury was most busy displaying his ability as master of ceremonies, and declaring his love for vim, vigor and vitality. Sid Strattan became a Ted Waring; the Serenaders became Fletcher Henderson; the dancers became apaches, and there you have it. The Catto entertains next week--What then? New York gave Earl Carroll a year for a party. Wonder if that town has ever heard of Jim Lee? Pardon me for displaying my affection! Helen, Ada, Ruth, Eva, Marie and Edith, Bill, John, C. T., Stanley, Carroll, Joe are still wondering why or how Jim has never had a birthday before. Fifty million French women can't be wrong! Three cheers for Dr. and Mrs. Pitts! Philadelphia just can't stay home over the week-end. Maybe the end of a Quaker City week is too weak. Did you ever? At any rate, my "glug-glug" boy, John, traveled to Richmond. Mrs. Nicholson made her way to Boston, John Banks tried Atlantic City, Carter Thomas met Trenton, Edith Mac stopped by New York on her way to Wilmington. There must be something wrong! Was so glad to see Billie Cain, Bessie Allison and Mabel Smith. Will give the "Show Bont" a show next week. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hill are visiting the city. Mrs. Hill was none other than the lovely Miss Hattie Holmes of Washington before her marriage. Tell me, how! Mr. Frederick Massiah, Philadelphia's most talented contractor, has just received his new La Halle. Everything is automatic, moves as smoothly as a cloud, was designed by the owner himself. Stop right up, folks! Too bad! ```markdown ``` The Dark Town Basketball season has now opened! The Scholastic met the Omegus, Friday, at the new Broadway. Quite a lovely place for a game--spacious, well ventilated, pleasing to the eye. Mine, Kaene's music relieved the drag between halves and helped the slow-drag afterwards. In spite of all that Misses Marion Townes, Ruth McNeill, Mario McDougald and Ada Wallis could do, the Omegus were put to sleep--37-0. Wonder if Misses Virgin Trent's and Mario Woodlyn's mental telegraphy had anything to do with it! Saw Dr Mao McCarrol, the Ammonittis, Hawkins, and Jackson, Mr. Bill Pattus was down "on business." The "Pennsylvania" entertained the same night at the Strand. The "Arcadians" were themselves and got away. Cookie, the business manager of the Penn boys, is to be congratulated for giving us a hot time. ```markdown ``` Philadelphia boasts of three women physicians. And why not? Any community is proud of its professional people who, for the most part, are men, and the advent of a woman in any of the fields heretofore held inviolate is always the cause of extra rejoicing. So this is the brief story of one of the three prides of the Quaker City. Dr. Clarke was born, as is customary to say in the case of most women, not so many years ago at Hampton, Va. Her father, the late Dr. William E. Atkins, was the town's favorite and the highest type of doctor, who was friend, leader and physician to the folks for miles around Hampton. The girl, Lillian, grew up in an atmosphere of bottles, fills and untiring services, and used to play at doctor, and always talked of the time she would be "Dr. Atkins" and her father's assistant. She first went off to school at Shaw University where she won a scholarship for maintaining the highest average over ninety percent, for two years. From there she traveled to Howard and entered the Medical School. But it was from the Women's College of Pennsylvania that she was graduated with the degree M.D., after winning the anatomy prize for an average of ninety-seven percent, and serving as secretary of her class during her senior year. After graduation, she took the National Board and has the distinction of being the only colored woman and the third Negro to pass. She began her interne work at the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital, for which she was later appointed chief resident physician, Dr. Clarke then decided to remain in Philadelphia and purchased the building at 1812 N. 11th Street, opening an office as a specialist in women's and children's diseases. She maintains a keen interest in the development of the medical profession, as is shown by her membership in the Philadelphia County Medical Society, the National Medical Association, the Academy of Medicine and Allied Sciences, and the Clinical Pathological Society, for which she is secretary. And she retains her place on the staff of Douglas Hospital. But all of her time is not usurped by her practice and profession, She takes an active part in the social life of Philadelphia, belongs to Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the Household of Ruth, the Court of Calanthe and is a Daughter Elk. In 1923, she married Hugh T. Clark of Newport, News, and spends sometime driving her Nash from Philly to Virginia. Still, Friday night! A Collegiate Hop with the Alpha Omega College Club at the Odd Fellows'. A jolly intimacy prevailed. The young people were in good spirits: the old were absent. Give Eugene Stricklin, Allene Lane, and Bunyon Mills a hand! Rah! Rah! Trouble at Dunbar Phila., Saturday.—Sam Manning and Mrs. Marcus Garvey suffered another humiliating reverse here this evening at the Dunbar Theatre, when the musicians walked out, refusing to play unless John T. Gibson would guarantee them their pay for the week. The Manning - Garvey musical comedy tab, "Brown Sugar", had but two more performances to play when the musicians issued their ultimation which was followed with the walkout. According to the facts as gleaned from the many conflicting stories, Mr. Manning was given a guarantee Back to Its Original Big Time Form The New Roadside Grill 514 N.

Mr. Gibson, who controls the Dunbar and Standard Theatres, advanced the company officials $800.00 prior to the company opening here. Thursday night was draw day for the musicians and performers but no money was forthcoming, not even for room rent and board, Mr. Manning nor Mrs. Garvey having a penny. The musicians gave them until Saturday to adjust the matter, while a number of the performers threatened to take the matter to the civil authorities. The entertainers claim that Mr. Manning promised to have the matter attended to Friday and it was rumored that Mr. Gibson advanced some more money to help the company manager out. This permitted the players to get a few dollars, which was far short of what they actually needed. Then came Saturday and the big blow-out. During the hostilities, neither Mr. Manning nor Mrs. Garvey could be located. It was learned though, that Mrs. Gravey tried desperately to raise money to pay off her people and had partly succeeded when the walkout ensued. Many of the company are still stranded in the staid old Quaker City, waiting for friends to aid them. Keeping Pace Mrs. Charleston, who is known by almost every theatrical performer from coast to coast, has made some gigantic improvements in her establishment at 1512 Bainbridge Street during the past few weeks. The genial popular caterist of this quaint old sleepy town, Philadelphia, who has mothered scores of performers in her many years at the old Bainbridge street home, is determined to keep pace with the times. Mother Charleston, as she is popularly known to all, has had every room in her house remodelled, repapered and in many cases, refurnished with new fixings. Her rooms were and are today, large and roomy, lacking the crampiness so often found when one is traveling. But now they are even more cozy and home like than ever before, It must have cost Mrs. Charleston close in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars to make the many beneficial and pleasing features Pure Thiamin that will now be found in her Dalmbridge home. And there's no question but that the performers will fully appreciate what she has done to make conditions still more pleasing than ever before. As for the coming cold snaps, she has provided nifty little gas heaters for the wee hours of the morning in each room. Carlisle, Pa.

ROBINSON, in Person Although Baltimore society has fought itself down to the place where it draws its guns instead of drawing the line, yet the city is much het up about the forthcoming birthday party of one Charles Shipley, who has very appropriately designed the occasion, "the gathering of the Clan". As I told you last week, the big show will get under way on the same night the Tattler gets off the press. As the fathers of the country said in the Declaration of Independence, "in order to form a more perfect" party several alterations and changes became necessary. First the Elks home of the Monumental Lodge No. 3, I.B.P.O.E. of W. was selected as the site for the gambol but after all arrangements had been made for the two floors, and a deposit had been put up, the Board of Monumental Lodge met, as boards will do, and countermanded the sanction given by the party in charge, on the ground that the exquisite dance floor of the new dance hall could not run the risk of having some terrepin or hot soup splashed on it. Though the big caterer explained he had served on better floors the Board of Trustees of Monumental Lodge was obdurate and held that if there was to be food it must be served in the celler. The big caterer held that his feasts could not descend so low and the Board held that not a bum should pass through that dance hall. Result: Shipley gets the Odd Fellows' Hall where bucks is what is considered. Then the date was changed from the sixteenth to the fourteenth. Some people supposed that a job came in for that night but the "wise crackers" who keep up with social doings and undoings, remarked that the Boule meet on the sixteenth. Now as far as is known the Boule is one of those social getups that gives away to no man when he interferes with their meeting nights, with the possible exception of Captain George Brown, the Skipper of the Starlight, who once made the Boule have extra meetings when he sued them for boat hire for one of their exclusive social functions which they tried to forget to remember. Captain Brown didn't care whether it was the Boule or the poulet, what he wanted was his money and not alleged social position. At any rate a second set of invitations was sent out. On the second invitation Bill McCard who had already been introduced on the former invitation was again given publicity with the warning that he is Frank Cherries' friend. Betting is ten to one that the much advertised Bill McCard will be in bed fast asleep the night of the party. Speculation is rife as to whether or not the famous "matchmaker" will be on hand for the festivities. Don't think my dear boy that Charlie has the stage all by himself, for there are other potent factors about. For instance there is Dr. D. Grant Scott, the eminent pathologist of West Biddle Street who has been a widower for some time past. However, Old Doc doesn't intend to stay a widower so much so that he was rushing two ladies at one time. For a time there it was hard to tell whether the Doctor was going to give his hand to Mrs. Maggie Stokes or Miss Florence Brown. They were running neck and neck but it now appears sweet Miss Florecne is about to nose out. I haven't seen it but it is said the doctor has placed on her finger a diamond ring, the stone of which is as brilliant as an are light and as big as a cake of soap. A regular doctor only gives one of these stones in a life time so Miss Florence must be it. But don't you know a strange thing happened Sunday before last. I heard that the doctor gave a dinner in honor of his flance. Dr. and Mrs. Harry McCord and Dr. and Mrs. William Wright were the invited guests and a good time was had by all. But the strange thing about it was Miss Florence wasn't present. Maybe she is a church aid and does not attend dinner on Sunday but then again this is not lent and at that all Sundays are feast days. The Half Century Club, the social outfit which has a coming out party for some alleged debs after they have gone in for the second and third times, will not function this year. It appears the situation has gotten past these old "toe crushers." Whom shall we invite and whom shall we not invite is a deep question with this gang that the best way to settle the question is to let it settle itself by calling it quits. At no time has a satisfactory standard, agreeable to all, been possible. There are so few men in Baltimore who will act right and the college boys from Howard and Lincoln make such a nuisance of themselves besides not being able to defray even taxi cab fare. Then as one of the members told me, the youngsters, after you invite them won't dance with the older ladies. In the mean time the older men are so busy getting a word in with the broilers and the alleged debs that the "mamas" might as well bring a day bed in with them so that they can be comfortable throughout all the dances. At any rate it is said the Half Century Club will not perform this year, and if not this year possibly never, but in the words of the song, "What does it matter?" Bill I hate to keep telling you about the Provident hospital drive but this is a very important affair and I have a great deal of interest in it. Further than that there are so many side lines. Some of the doctors have positively refused to give a hand but it is going over better and better day by day. At present it looks as if it will be oversubscribed and way over. The largest subscription up to date was given by Mr. Harry Mann whom you know of course. Mr. Mann got from around something like a thousand berries. There have been quite a few other large gifts but none quite as large as his. I might say also that there have been a lot of guys who haven't kicked in at all or who haven't come up to the mark. Do you remember old Hornstein of the Regent Theatre? Well old Hornstein came up with a lousy twenty-five dollars. Can you beat it? I know a policeman who gave more than this and did not put his name down and you know and I know that policemen are like preachers—always on the receiving end. However any number of prominent white families have given large sums to outfit rooms in memory of old servants who have worked for them and this is just what I want to get down to. If you remember some few years ago some Southerners wanted to erect a monument in Washington to the Negro Mammies of the South. The Negro papers all over the country cried the proposition down. Especially did the local sheets "squak," so much so that mammy did not get her monument. Now it is just the opposite. In the booklet which has been circulated by the campaign committee, mammy is featured on the first page with her clean apron on and the regulation handana handkerchief. Further than this the different families have contributed one, two three and four thousands of dollars in memory of old mammies. The bad rooms and endowments are just as much a monument to the mammies as a stone monument would be, but up to date I have The Garden Apartments The Paul Lawrence Dunbar Garden Apartments, originally designed to house the struggling proletariat, are about to be officially opened, and hall the coming of the triumphant bourgeoisie who are all packed up and ready with moving vans filled with new and antique furniture and decorations The line of march has been called for Friday, about ten o'clock; the procession will in all likelihood start from West 139th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, and proceed west to Edgecombe Avenue to meet others of the clan. After a few minutes rest the march will continue up St. Nicholas Avenue to the residence of our modern philosopher. All hands will assist in removing the choice possessions to the iron-clad vans. After the valuable works of art and libraries are carefully placed, the procession will continue to West 145th Street and turn east to Seventh Avenue. From there the bourgeoisie will march in dignified fashion, with heads up and chin in until they reach the portals of the Dunbar Garden Apartments. After a word from the commander-general they will march into the gardens in single file without badlge or baggage. A word or two of pleasant surprise and the Artists, Writers, Teachers, Social Workers et al will begin decorating. Others are to join the procession later; in fact it will continue until next spring, when all Harlem will bow at the sacred shrine of the wedded poet. The Vicious Circle The following questions are typical of those now being asked by the modern housewives who expect to move into new quarters within a few weeks: How much should I spend to furnish my apartment? Where shall I buy my furniture? Should I pay cash or should I buy on the term payment plan? Should I purchase the larger pieces on the eighteen-month payment plan or should I consider the twelve-month plan? What type of furniture is best suited to my needs? What color scheme? What this? what that? What the other? Day in and day out we hear these decoration blues. These morbid tones reach our ears and force us to ask ourselves a question: Who originated this tedious, expensive idea of interior decoration? Housewives! That's right. The public libraries are filled with hundreds of books on the subject; yet, I often wonder how many ever bother to read one. Furniture Values Some few weeks past, I made a survey of installment furniture stores to determine the comparative value of types carried in the stock of twelve different establishments. I located four stores within a few blocks of each other having in their stock a popular suite of the season. The prices of this suite varied as follows: Lenox Furniture Co., 635 Lenox Ave., Maple Suite, $395; Riley-Hogan Furniture Co., 12 W. 125th St., Maple Suite, $359; Buckley-Newhall, 147 W. 125th St., Maple Suite, $345; New York and New Jersey Furniture House, 319 West 125th Street, Maple Suite, $268. There is no competition in the retail installment furniture business. not heard of any of the money being scorned or turned back. The almighty dollar can beat down any kind of a "squawk". By by. From BILLIOUS P. S. I forgot to tell you that the wife of the famed nasal tenor of the Post Office Glee Club, Mr. Beal Mason, is sueing him for a divorce. Counsellor Roy Bond representing the madam, is going to train Beal to sing them alimony blues. Naughty, Naughty, Girls Nearly three hundred of Miss Lucy Slowe's virgins turned into Miner Hall, on the Howard Hill last Monday to do them each a peaceful bedside, but sometime in the stilly night things began hopping under the big tent. To date my spies and the Pinkertons whom I put on the case have been unable to lay hands on the exact seat of all the hoopla. But the rumors, allegation and "they-tell-me's" have been flying around thicker than death in Baltimore gin. Whatever took place during the night, however, there is no doubt about what happened the next day, for Tuesday Miner Hall was turned into an old-fashioned jail house, the education of the girls was temporarily curtailed, the phone wires were cut and inside there was weeping, and wailing and gnashing of teeth. On the one hand there are rumors of thievery, which set forth that some unwise virgin entered Miss Hardwick's room with larceny in her heart bent on latching on to some of that matron's apparel. That rumor seems about as weak as Bachelor-Benedict punch since Miss Hardwick went into an armistice with the dressmakers way back in the days when bustles, crinoline and peg-leg pants were in vogue. On the other hand there are rumors of a freshman-sophomore fight in which it is said the freshmen gals tore off the dainty undies of the sophomores and flung them out of the window, but I don't believe anything short of a healthy man walking half-clad down the hall would create that much furore among well-reared ladies, and I won't credit that. Then there are tales about some love affairs between several of the girls who, it seems, were all set for some of the fancy pleasures of Paris. Since I have no formaldehyde to wash my hands in I cannot handle such things. But I would like to ask, can they do that? Who Wants a Degree? There are twenty-six letters in the alphabet and any two or three of them can be fastened together and set to work as a degree. According to Ed Henderson, the greatest authority on football and athletics since Walter Camp, all that ails the world these days is that there are not enough degrees to go around. So he looked carefully over all the letters in the alphabet and decided that they could be combined in some fashion to give everybody a degree, and beside that it would be good business to peddle these letters, which if properly used would last a long time and pad out his salary as director of physical education in colored schools. The booticians, for instance, by sending a few bucks to the Central College and remaining out of jail for a few semesters, could earn the degree of LL.E., which translated means Evader of Laws. For a lady of tender virtue the degree of M.P., which does not mean Military Police, but Master of Passions, was suggested. This degree was earned by satisfactory work in the evening classes. The heads of the Central Chiropractic College and the United States Incorporated were white, and were THE INTER-STATE TATTLER making it possible for such learned men as street-car conductors and traffic cops to earn degrees while performing their high duties. Mr. Henderson's salary was further enhanced by the activities of these institutions in not only peddling individual degrees, but setting up other schools with similar powers. Things were moving along beautifully in the school, and Edwin Henderson was looking about as pleased as Sgt. Brice of the R.O.T.C. Band when he towed Miss Gladys Jamieson of the Delta Sigma out to a movie debauch. To show what hard luck I am in, just when I had selected a pretty little degree for myself the cops raided the Central College and took Henderson in charge with it. That caused quite a slump in the degree industry, and after Henderson was put under a thousand dollar bond the only kind of degree that would interest him is the kind a thermometer registers. And he is hot enough to bust any ordinary brand. In Memoriam After getting my pocket handkerchief prepared, taking a dose of aromatic spirits of ammonia and sniffing my trusty smelling salts, I feel strong enough to break the news to distinguished residents of Washington of Jimmy Johnson's misfortune. This landmark of the Capital has temporarily suspended business. The constabulary jumped up and down in his place, but due to Jimmy's splendid arrangement nothing incriminating was found. However, not satisfied with their findings, they called out the fire department who proceeded to smash up and wet Jimmy in a most embarrassing manner. Among the bereaved might be mentioned the Honorable Arthur Foe, Recorder of Deeds, who has sent Jimmy a handsome wreath containing in the center four gorgeous ears of corn, around it are entwined tassels. A suitably engraved Gordon Gin label was attached as a motto card. The Croix de Guerre Besides inventing a new and unnamed stew, made from mushrooms, kidneys, and beef flavored with genuine sherry, the party Mr. Daniel Ball pitched for his weekly whist club and visiting guests from Newport, R. I., was marked by a gorgeous plenty of everything. Now a plenty of nourishment is not a usual feature of a Washington party. A plate of run-down potato salad, a hand-out of ice-cream and some perfectly virtuous grape-juice punch is as far as a Washington host or hostess can be sent out on any one evening. But Dan Ball's party was so exceptional in that regard that Geo. Gray and Bill Mundy shed tears because they had eaten dinner before coming, and Oswald Burk sobbed on the shoulder of "Kid" Townsend from Newport because he had even had breakfast. However, you can't please everybody. Someone claimed that Dan set out all the splendor to show up Bill Mundy who had given a hot dog party the week before and had placed the strain of doing the work of a quart on each half-pint he ushered in. rage Frye NATURAL HAIR WIGS (Closed Saturdays) Switches, Transformations, Curls, Cluster | Puffs, Hair Nets, Straightening Combs. and Everything in Hair Goods ‘Wigs Made to Your Measure .

But by omitting how spotlessly the building is kept, how sump tuously it is furnished, what won derful esprite d’corp is shown, and how attractive the girls are (see Calvin) I leave myself another le- gitimate reason for visiting Dur- ham. * * * And the same holds true for the Royal Knights of King David’s Hall where the day sessions of the Con- ference were held. Don’t get the idea that these are Colored office buildings, as o’fays like to desig- nate inferior objects. They are of- fice buildings owned and occupied by Negroes, well constructed and faultlessly kept. Smart—not run down at the heels. * * * Saturday at eleven o’clock, Harry C. Pace addressed the forum of the North Carolina Mutual personnell in the auditorium. On the pro- gramme also was Floyd Calvin, Billboard Jackson, Eugene Corbie, two visiting Carolina Churchmen.

If the' conference accom: plished nothing else it was instru- mental in the forming of new con- tacts, in bringing together conflict- ing ideas and doctrines, in giving to all parties an opportunity to state their cases and offer their jus- tifications and in making possible a worthwhile decision <s to the pro- gress and position of the Negro. Since it was voted that the con ference was too’ young to be taken out doors, it will meet again next year at Durham, at a time to be selected by the general committee. In closing I might add that the three day conference, the expense of management, printing, etc., were entirely financed by the Durham Ccmmittee of W. G. Pearson, Dr. James E. Shepard and C. C. Spaul- ding, and that at no time by word or suggestion were funds solicited. The Facts (Continued from Page 5) hearted respect for the Negro masses. John P.
