We must be some foundation for the Phillip Randolph may resign as General Brotherhood of Sleeping Car People Mr. Randolph, after thinking he decide to remain on the job. He shows the yellow dog newspapers that in company will not enter into negotiation, so long as a socialist is at the head, in a spirit of self immolation, give the porters embarrassment (which entirely imaginary) the Brotherhood resignation. The reason why the Pullman Company is as head of the Brotherhood is because less. That objection would be not the were a Republican, Dunkard or the other hand the Company would see a hot headed, incompetent or take his place tomorrow. It will pay Brotherhood to reflect that there are "unions". The first is maintained by the company treasury; the second is ruses and stratagems of company relations counsel. If the porters bluff their leaders in and out of it will become simply a Class B company. SINCE every puff of smoke means there must be a spark of fire somewhere we are prepared to believe there must be some foundation for the rumor that A. Phillip Randolph may resign as General organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. We fervently hope Mr. Randolph, after thinking the matter over, will decide to remain on the job. He should pay no attention to the yellow dog newspapers that insinuate the Pullman Company will not enter into negotiations with the Brotherhood so long as a socialist is at the head of it. If Mr. Randolph, in a spirit of self immolation, decides to resign to save the porters embarrassment (which embarrassment is entirely imaginary) the Brotherhood should reject his resignation. The real reason why the Pullman Company objects to Mr. Randolph as head of the Brotherhood is because he is able and fearless. That objection would be no less pronounced if he were a Republican, Dunkard or a Holy Roller. On the other hand the Company would be well satisfied to see a hot headed, incompetent or corruptible communist take his place tomorrow. It will pay the members of the Brotherhood to reflect that there are too kinds of "company unions". The first is maintained by the pay cheques of the company treasury; the second controlled by the threats, ruses and stratagems of company lawyers and public relations counsel. If the porters permit the Company to bluff their leaders in and out of office the Brotherhood will become simply a Class B company union. SHOULD WATCH THEIR STEP ings are lawful for me," says St. Paul. s are not expedient." The colored m theatrical profession who are having with the authorities of Australia sh ALL things are lawful for me," says St. Paul, "but all things are not expedient." The colored members of the theatrical profession who are having their troubles with the authorities of Australia should have borne that text in mind during their stay in that backward country. In sophisticated and prosperous communities, or even in superficially civilized countries, actors are granted considerable license and are not expected to live in imitation of the saints. But in bush countries like Australia, where life is hard and barren, everybody must walk the chalk line alike. Rumors reaching us from various parts of the world inform us that the conduct of colored actors abroad is often anything but exemplary. We have been told that a well known actress, by dint of her persistent goozing and brawling, is on the verge of being deported from so wide open a country as France. It is said that a colored actor in Australia abandoned his wife shortly after arriving in the country and took to living with a white wench, while another treated his wife so badly she left him and returned to America. We are quite aware that this sort of wild and reckless living can easily be paralleled on Broadway or in Hollywood, but if it is likely to affect one's meal ticket seriously one should consider the time and place. As the guest of a man whose father was hanged for cattle stealing it would be tactless, to say the least, for one to bring up the subject of border rustling and prairie justice, and one might just as well steer the talk away from the hemp industry and the history of the vigilantes. If one were invited to dinner by an ex-madame of a red light house, now the wife of a rich Methodist minister, it would be a crime to make the doings of the underworld the topic of conversation. A stranger in Australia is in the position of a man who finds himself the guest of persons of doubtful antecedents. An editorial in the Amsterdam News recently referred to Australia as the ash barrel of England. We think that was a dirty crack about ash barrels. It would be closer to fact to say it used to be the out house of England, selected for that purpose because it was far away. It is virtually impossible for a raindrop to fall in Australia without wetting the offspring of a criminal, a pauper, a castoff or other form of human rubbish. People like that are always touchy on the subject of behavior. They must be circumspect themselves and insist on their guests being the same. Otherwise both may be found out. It is to be hoped that in the future colored actors visiting the country will bear these facts in mind. They may be able to stay longer and do better business.

Help! Mr. Jack Trotter, 2296 Seventh Avenue, New York, N. Y. Dear Mr. Trotter:— I have just been reading the current number of the Inter-State Tattler. Ever since my subscription started, I have intended writing you, to say how much I enjoy your clever magazine. If your own people appreciate its cleverness as I do, your circulation from recommendation of one pleased reader to another, should increase in leaps and bounds. Yours very truly, ROSE L. FREDERIC. 507 Fifth Avenue. To the Editor of Inter-State Tattler. Dear Sir: I wish to express my appreciation of your magazine, particularly for the last few weeks. The literature has taken on a color that surpasses the usual tone of reading matter. The time has come when we must cease being trite and hackneyed—be original, give a variety that interests the whole range of taste. Your "Education High Spots" column by Mr. Allen, is both timely and commendable for its literary essence. Let's have more—who cares who went to Boston or what not—those things are their private affairs. Of course such material must be given to the public to have their support but men in your position must study and see the progress in thought and individual differences of this age. I thank you.

JACK TROTTER. Business Manager. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 28th day of March .1928. JEROME P. OTTLEY. Notary Public. New York County Clerks No. 118. Register's No. 8123. (My commission expires March 30, 1928) The High Hatters EASTER comes but once a year, and so does Christmas, birthdays and other worrisome days. The column did a marathon following the Tattler's official photographer around Easter day. Pictures were shot here, there, and everywhere. After tiring to exhaustion, the column had this reaction. On Seventh Avenue between ten and four, Many were seen to look rich and poor, But never a sad and sordid mood, Nobody worried o'er tomorrow's food, As the column went strolling on Easter day. Many a style and form held sway, Varied features were on display, Beautiful dresses and aromas went pass, With spring coats drapped about the waist, As the column went strolling on Easter day. Wuz your picture tooken by the Tattler's Photographer? If not, why not? Every time a picture was shot and five minutes had passed, the column would arrive upon the scene and ask the photographer for the name or names of the victims shot. After a little persuasion the photographer would settle back to normalcy and consent to give the names, if he succeeded in getting them. Well, the first picture shot was one of those up-in-the-air things—no name, no blame. The second recording was that of two stately dressed men who really looked very Vanderbiltish. They were dressed in the best and most appropriate Prince of Wales style. The old stripped pants, correct attire with it, and very surprisingly the correct names. Judge for yourself. The very light brown gent was Edward P. Wade, and the light brown without the very, Kermit W. Parham. The only thing missing was a reminder marking The Well Dressed Man. Then Mr. and Mrs. T. Weeks were accepted for approval. They were the real class. Mr. Weeks was weighted down with the Prince of Wales 1928 correct attire. He sported the stripped pants and the short braided coat. (Now the A. B. C. of taste in smart dress), Mrs. Weeks wrapped herself neatly in a steel gray coat that was right down to the bricks. (You will have to see the High Hatters Dictionary to get these swank descriptions.) They were birds of a feather strolling together. Estelle Wormley of New York City is beautiful and Edith Wormley of Boston is more beautiful. They were everything nice and some more. And to make matters worse they possessed a disposition sweet beyond words. Dear lord, please move Boston to 135th Street and Seventh Avenue. Did the column like them—not at all—Much. A genteel and congenial lady was caught by the camera's lens, but the column arrived too late to get her name. The Photographer was a little peeved—you know what the column means. His English, I never. * * * Well, the day's work would have been spoiled for the want of sheikish flavor if George Towers, V. Collins, Walter Williams and Charlie Ray had been omitted. These boys figurates a mean piece of sheik attire. Fine feathers don't always make fine birds. Did jer ever hear of the Dolly Sisters? Well, the column met the Goodwin Sisters and they get the o. k. from yours truly. Nifty, no end. Ruby Goodwin and her sister Elsie Goodwin were easy on the eyes. What could be sweeter. Mr. and Mrs. Allen were a lovely couple. They must have been * * * * * * * * * \*\*\* --- newly-weds, were mighty lovely, very. Lovely Lady. * * * Synthia and Gloria Mitchell or the Mitchell sisters tried hard to dodge the camera. The column thought that the Dodge sisters would have been a better name for them. Another n.a. (no address) case. Vivienne and Agatha Scott of New Haven, Connecticut, a blond and brunette respectively, are marvels of correct form and swank beauty. Vivienne was much the more congenial. She was a dear. They are both students at Yale University. They have cleared up a very great mystery. The column could always see why "women go wrong," but now the column knows why "Men go wrong." Helen Cooke, gorgeous, more gorgeous. most gorgeous. That's Helen, in every detail. And the Lincoln which seems to be made just to harmonize with her—I refuse to think. To change the subject the camera man caught two females that were not sisters. This one won him applause from the gallery. Mabel Farrell and Dorothy Coleman are just what the doctor ordered if you just must know. They paired off sweetly. About this time the column had sore feet but kept peddling on. That was Mary Sealo and Daisy Owens, the photographer was heard to retort. The column thought that they were another pair of sisters. This was a false accusation, and the column apologized. Well, they were exceedingly nice for a' that. They evidenced a slight nervousness when told their pictures were tooken, but they were exceedingly nice for a' that. Now the column was nervous. Just because the two ladies were in company with a little brown baby. As to who was mother, which was which? When all is said and done without pictures there's no fun. Two ladies looking the rounds got into the way of the camera and bingo Mrs. C. Hodges and Mrs. Louise Jackson were entrapped. Major Jackson was missing. Where, oh where was Johnny. Then came what the column styled the "Gang" because the photographer displayed so much interest in the group. At least the photographer has good taste and knows his kidney beans when it comes to lovely ladies. Somebody said, hello Inez. Wonder if that was Inez Quinn? There was a boy friend in the group who looked very much like Frank Whittaker. Frank was next to Marjorie Smith (Continued on page 7) --- Page Three s, birthdays hon follow- day.

Miss Nina Yolande DuBois, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Burghardt DuBois, became the bride of Countee Cullen, brilliant young poet, Phi Beta Kappa member, winner of many medals and prizes and now holder of the Daniel Guggenheim Fellowship for a year's study in Europe. The ceremony was performed by the poet's father, the Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor of the Salem Church, assisted by the Rev. George Frazier Miller, pastor of St. Augustine's Episcopal Church of Brooklyn. The church was profusely decorated with spring flowers, hyacinths, tulips and lilies, the altar embowered with tall palms and the balcony rail blanketed with roses, carnations and sweet peas. Although the ceremony was not to start until after 6 o'clock, Harlem began evincing active interest in the early afternoon. Miss DuBois, in bridal dress and veil, marched up the aisle on her father's arm, attended by Miss Margaret Wellman, of Brooklyn, maid of honor, and sixteen bridesmaids, carrying bouquets. The bridegrom was attended by his lifelong friend, Harold Jackman, as best man. Edward G. Perry. of the cast of "Porgy," was chief usher, assisted by Langston Hughes, author of "Weary Blues" and other verse; Arna Bontemps, noted poet; Albert Walker, William Howell, Embrey Bonner, William Brown, Alpheus Hunton, Alex Miller and Robert Weaver. At the organ Dr. Melville Charlton, organist of the Union Theological Seminary, played a classic program, including the Pilgrims Chorus from "Tannhauser"; "Gothic Suite," of Boellman; "On Bended Knee," by Burleigh, and "Symphony," by Barnes. The "Lohengrin" bridal march was played as the couple entered and the Mendelssohn march as they departed. Solos were sung by the Misses Annie Brown and Peggy Pennybacker. Close friends of the families attending included Alain Locke, author of "The New Negro"; Dr. and Mrs. James Weldon Johnson, Miss Mary White Ovington, Eugene Kinkle Jones, Charles S. Johnson, editor of "Opportunity," of which magazine the bridegroom is assistant editor, and Dr. and Mrs. Wallace McMullen. Telegrams and flowers arrived from principal cities of the country. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Cullen departed for a visit to friends in Philadelphia, Atlantic City and Great Barrington, Mass., the home of the DuBois family for some generations. In July the young couple leave for Paris, on the Guggenheim Fellowship. Mr. Cullen obtained his B. A. from New York University in 1925, and his M. A. in Harvard the year following. While an undergraduate he won the second prize in the Witter Bynner contest, held in colleges throughout the country, for his "Ballad of the Brown Girl." In 1925 he won first prize in contests conducted by "The Crisis," and last year he won first award in literature of the William Harmon Foundation for his volume "Color." Mrs. Cullen is a graduate of Fisk University in Nashville, holds the M. A. of Columbia University, has studied in England, and is now a teacher of English and drawing in the Douglass High School The popular Doreen Jolly who divides her time between Westchester and the University of Pennsylvania, will be the Easter guest of Eunice Bertie Shreeves. * * * Lottie Lyles is spending her Easter on the boardwalk. We will read about her in the Atlantic City section next week. * * * Bill White, Sol Johnson, Jr., and Grafton Fletcher called upon the office Thursday. The derbies are in power. * * * Stanley M. Smith of Baltimore has the distinction of being the second Negro to go into training at Curtiss Field, Long Island. Bessie Coleman was the first. A present he is taking the three months mechanical course and is busy in the Curtiss hangars learning the why and wherefores of planes and motors. * * * Have you secured your box for the big show Saturday night? Yes sir, I have mine. Never no miss. Imagine dancing to first Keep Shufflin Band and Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra in the same night.

Also met the talented Ina Grange, the accompanist of the station. * * * Mr. Rufus Baird who has been in Georgetown, Texas, for six weeks at the bedside of his mother, sent to his wife, Ethel Baird, the sad news of his mother's demise last Tuesday. The Tattler extends its sincere sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Baird The A. B. De Comitheire called on us Thursday afternoon. If you please he is a native New Yorker and of French Canadian descent. * * * We enjoyed a half hour over the Minettas, McDougal Alley and cur favorite village haunts.

FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER Washington, D. C. Dear Galadi is in despair; 'Tis Easter week, you know. And she has so few things to wear, With everywhere to go. She's gazing at her wardrobe now, And smiling all she's able. There is a furrow on her brow; Her invites on the table. Marcella Huggins' lunch and cards Will call for something new. She's had to pick out yards and yards. The Jimoghas always do. Nor can she wear it with the crowd, When Katie Harris plays at Caroline's she'd be a dowd, Unless she'd change her ways. Then, Helen Curtis, what of that? Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear! Poor Galadie must get a hat, To go to lunch, I fear. Mercedes Rector need not buy, A single furbelow. For she, off to New York did hie, To Yolande and her beau. But Galadi has just begun. These are her simple clothes. For formal places, full of fun, She's nothing—goodness knows! The Bachelors! One can't go there, Without one's evening wrappings. Nor at the Chi Delta can appear, Minus one's gaudy trappings. And at Omega one must be, Dressed in the latest fashion; So that the folks will know that he, Did not just come in "Crashing." So Galadi thinks of the cash, Within her boudoir resting. And knows that it will go to smash With all this gay week's festing. For there are new sport things to name, When to the shop she ambles. For Alpha Phi and Kappa's game Can not be seen in shambles. Dear Galadi, she can't rest yet, Ther're other cards, I know. There's "Charley's Aunt," she'll go, I bet, To the Omego Play, you know. And, Ibsen's "Doll's House," she must see On dear old Howard Camp. Remarkable Beauty Gives amazing in lightening Now it is remarkably easy to have a lighter, lovelier, clearer skin.

Perhaps she'll don her sober gowns For Howard's dedication— Dunbar's Alumni is in town, To reunite the nation. And there are guests and guests galore; To name them would be legion. I'll give a few; they have many more To visit in this region. With Hattie Edwards, Galadi, You'll meet Mrs. Andrew Brown, Who came down from West Virginia.

The column gave Brooklyn a boost a little while past, but it didn't know that the city of cemeteries had so much to boast about. Vivienne Barber is surely petite 'n ev'ry thing, don't ya know. Well, Gordon Roberts was just a thorn between two roses. Oh! yes, the other rose was Lorraine Braddicks. No, no, Nanette, she is from New York. * * * The column had lost track of the fleet-footed photographer by this time, and was still bewildered over the many more and mostest nicest people in all the cities that send delegates to New York. Of course, you couldn't see all these nice boy friends and girl friends that were stamping all over Seventh Avenue and New York City. The column gave up in despair at this point and called it a day. The job would have been a complete one if that Marguerite Thompkins, looking all exotic 'n ev'ry thing, had put in an appearance to get tooken. Can anybody tell the column how she gets all those foreign likish looks? Oh! doctor pharmacist, did you get her from the Orient? Just another ink and paper wasted away. Hotel Olga Arrivals S. B.

Many good and enterprising folks live elsewhere. Particularly in Kentucky. Women are companions in Harlem. True there are workers, social workers, society workers and other kind of workers. But if you want to know some real workers, go South. Now down in Louisville, Ky., one little lady is saying little but doing a great deal. She is a physician and her name is Mary Etta Potter. Mary was born in Bowling Green, Ky., and her early schooling was obtained in that city. She entered the State University, now Simmons College. Lack of funds did not prevent her from seeking a higher course in life. For three years she taught school, then took a fling at setting up type in a printing establishment and for a while did crayon photography. Rather a diversified way of making a living I will say, but Mary went through with it, and soon was able to enter the Citizens National Hospital in Louisville, and later the Louisville Medical College from which institution she graduated in 1907 with the M.D. degree. She has practiced her profession since then and specializes in diseases of women and children. She is a member of a number of fraternal organizations and her friendly personality is making her many friends and of course an occasional patient for the doctor. Dr. Potter organized the Fraternal Hospital Training School for Nurses, 1922, which was registered up to the standard requirements of the State Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Kentucky. She is at present medical examiner of five female organizations of Louisville, Ky. She is the Founder and organizer of the Women's Business, Civic and Political Club, which started very modestly on February 7, 1925 and became an incorporated body on March 5, 1925. This Club meets in Louisville and publishes the Women's Business, Civic and Political Journal (Inc.) of which Dr. Potter is Chief of the Editorial Staff. Now all this may seem kind of "back woodsey" to some of our local society dames, whose only business seems to be skipping from one night club to another, but it is women like Mary Etta Potter who balance the wheel and make for a more constructive people. Mary is a property owner. She lives in an apartment bearing her name, The Mary Etta Apartments, 532 S. Eighth Street, Louisville, Ky. Boston; Dr. John Q. Nicholas, Englewood, N. J.; S. Nutter, Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. George Williams, Cleveland, Ohio; Thomas G. Perry, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Johnson, Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Braton, Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Banks, Boston. The Theatre The The Harlem THE LAFAYETTE Theatre presented Bessie Smith and company with Sidney Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman with the Charlie Chaplin in The Circus comedy photoplay. Mr. Kirkpatrick and Miss Bowman are featuring in Elinor Glynn's spirited story, "Three Weeks". Chaplin's picture proved an excellent, riotous mirth producer from start to finish. The famous English comedian's antics are exceedingly ludicrous and there's never a dull moment from start to finish of the picture. Bessie Smith's offering is about the same in construction and quality as were her former vehicles. Miss Smith does most of the singing. The comedy is taken care by Messrs. Sam Davis and Crackshot Hackley. Cy Williams does the feeding. Tiny White, soubrette, leads the chorus numbers; Philip and Dolly. male dancers, do the hoofing. Agent more or less appropriately named the Ukeleele Fool, strumms the Hawaiian musical instrument. The maids of the chorus are: Bertha Mitchell, Marie Roberson, Marionette Henderson, Peggy Whitfield, Saddie Tappin, Daisy Brooks. Katherine White, Anna Humphry, Helen Dunsmoore. Isahelle Peterson. * * * THE LINCOLN Theatre presented Ida Anderson and her dramatic players in a one act playlet entitled, The Getaway. Miss Anderson played the leading role, that of the girl thief, May La Fond. Slim Henderson—John Mason and company presented a musical comedy tid-bit, "Sitting Pretty", with the first two handling the comedy situations and George Lee with Rosa Henderson taking care of the musical end of the program. Slim has always been a favorite around these diggins, but this week John is crowding him off the boards. Mason is really funny with his excellent impersonation of a souse. That bit of by play with the step ladder is a scream. The work of Monty Hawley this week is the best he has presented so far during the six weeks this unit has been playing the Lincoln. Monty and Miss Inez Clough run Mrs. Anderson a dead heat for the honors.

Lawrence Chenault Place: Pine's bedroom in his apartment on West 50th Street. Time: Present. Late at night. "WHY WOMEN CHEAT" is the romantic playlet offered at the Al- hambra Theatre this week with Ethea Lewis Thomas replacing Mina Evelyn Preer in the casting of the new sketch. There's very little acting called for and what little is done falls in the lot of Susie Gutton and Charles Moore. These two stand out to advantage and their efforts will be all the more appreciated because of the reporter indulged in by them. Lawrence Criner plays his part confidently well most of the way, but he falls to impress us where he is startled by supernatural action. He does, or rather he did, and regulates the fright and excitement one would expect when a normal human being is confronted with a nerve shattering situation. Sandy Burns and company, with two new additions, presented "On the Beach", entitled a musical comedy melange. Montross Brooks, promising young comedian who just recently joined the Alhambra Players, scored a signal triumph, winning instant. He took several encores Monday evening. Miss Hilda Rogers, a pocket edition of Ethel Waters, is a nifty little entertainer and she too received a warm ovation.

Calvin Program on Station WCGU, Thursday afternoon at 5:30. Mr. Bruce spoke for ten minutes on "Improving Housing Conditions for Negroes". The talk was largely a survey of housing conditions for Negroes in the North, and a description of the Dunbar Apartments which were erected by John D Rockefeller, Jr., in Harlem and opened on February 1. this year. ```markdown ``` Music selections were rendered by Miss Catherine Handy, daughter of W. C. Handy, and Russell Smith, arranged for the Handy Brothers Music Publishing Company of 1545 Broadway. Miss Handy sang "Wondering Why I'm Lonesome", accompanied at the piano by Mr. Smith, and Mrs. Smith sang and played "You're Just a Littie Flower" and "I'll Be Present at the Wedding". The Calvin program is broadcast every other Thursday afternoon from WCGU at 5:30. * * * W. Rollo Wilson, Philadelphia representative of the Pittsburgh Courier and eastern sports writer, will be the guest speaker on the hour devoted to Negro Achievement over station WABC at Steinway Hall, Thursday, April 12, from 10:30 to 11:30 p.m. His subject will be "Sport Shots, Past and Present". Mr. Wilson is making a special trip from Philadelphia at the invitation of the editor of "Who's Who in Colored America" to make his debut before the microphone. Radio fans and sport fans should tune in WABC and they will hear a talk which will be most interesting. * * * Supporting this hour Miss Olyve L.

Church Kuala Lumpur Ave. & Market St. Publisher, 41 cents KEN, F. A. KKLJJJK, KKMJJ Matinee Idols Again Arthur Granam, in a well written and interesting letter published in this column last week, disagrees with some observation I recently made on the subject of matinee shows. His cup ran over when he read some remarks I made on the relations between white men and colored women. He says: "If our stage produced a thousand matinee shows and they were all Apolios it would not prevent the type of colored women who want to associate with men intimately from going so. I have seen scores of these women with their white exponents and to all appearances they are not the kind that any same colored man with a speck of race pride would worry over. I fail to see how a lack of matinee shows could bring about this condition." It is really a pleasure to gain a brief respite from dodging the dodges and brickbats of numbskulls and face a man armed with a rapper of intelligence. Now, Mr. Graham, on guard! You say, Mr. Graham, that colored women who take white lovers are not the kind a same colored man with his quota of race pride would worry about. I wonder if this is not, in the language of psychology, a defense mechanism; in the language of fable, sour grapes. All men are responsive to beauty and our kept women are usually good lookers. They wear their clothes well, their bodies are fragrant when you get close to them and they retain their youth. Youth, loveliness, charm—those are qualities all normal men admire in women. That these women are desired by colored men as well as by white men is demonstrated by the fact that they can usually get colored lovers anytime they please. When they decide to turn "respectable" they easily obtain colored husbands, not from the riff-raff. industrious, serious minded men. Another point to be considered is that a race needs its beauty as well as its brains. Everything possible should be done to prevent either from being drained off by other races. Peoples old in experience know this. That is why white men would rather see their surplus women dry up as old maids or rot in brothels than to see them married and fruitful in another race. We should feel the same way about our women. In the bottom of our hearts we do feel the same way. When we say the ones who go astray are worthless and there- 27th Annual Dance of the Lincoln Hospital Nurses' Alumnae at Manhattan Casino Friday, April 20 HOUSES AND LOTTERY ON SALE OF PEAK LEAGUE BUILDING, 202 West 136th Street NEW YORK AMERICAN = = = $1.00 fore we do not care we are doing kidding ourselves. You ask what matures most to do about it. Not everything of course; still, a great idea. Idols usually impress a girl during the years of adolescence but learned certain ideas of virtue and behavior through cultured discipline. The matures force those ideas of presenting them in the color of romance and chivalry. Science, in becoming one more spiritual proj, supports her in time of stress.

The streets are thronged with lads and lassies home from schools far and near basking in the Harlem atmosphere and greeting old friends and acquaintances. The college group, as usual, is holding its regular convocation on the Harlem “Campus” and grand meetings they are indeed. Arguments for the fun of it pervade the alr and dis- cussions about every phase of human interest that one can think of are heard on every hand. Of course, the chief topic is concerning the “girl friend” and the many gala affairs that the Easter season affords. Congratulations, boys and girls. Play now for tomorrow the grind will begin again and only those with stamina will be able to endure the terrific gale of awful exams, puzzling quizzes and perplexing lec tures. When Greek Meets Greeke _ Mr". B. H. Locke, bald, learned, CoubsGE life in all its splendor was much in evidence at the annual basket bail game between Alphu and Omega. Fair ladies joined in Neartily with the opposite sex in cheering for their respec- tive teams. Renaissance Hall was in full bloom and the pent up energies of gay youth was given free expression as the ball meand- ered its way from one goal to an- other. It was indeed a hectic strug- gle as the valiant warriors strove to carry their “frat.” to victory and all Harlem looks forward to the event another year. Educational Meeting EASTER Sunday afternoon, an appreciative audience gathered at the Randall Memorial Presbyter- jan Church to hear Dr. BE. P. Rob- erts speak on “The Negro and Health Conditions”. These series of educational meetings at this church have stimulated quite a bit of interest on the part of the pub- lic. Mrs. Elise McDougall, Assist- ant Principal in our city schools and Hon. Fred. R. Moore, Alderman have also addregsd the educational forum, An interview with the pastor, Dr. T. J. B. Harris, points to some very constructive and beneficial work for the public in the future. A VISIT to our 125th Street Pub- Mic Library should convince the most obstinate of its special value to our community. The full stock of volumes bearing on the activities of colored peoples have no equal anywhere. Our special appeal is to the school children of Harlem. The Saturday morn} at Story telling hour and the expressly for their use are wonder. experssly for their use are wonder- ful features for self-improvement. Miss Roberta Bosley, well known public worker, has charge of this department and we wish to stress the good work that Miss Bosley and her assistants are doing for the “kiddies”: Let them do some- thing for yours. There is no better time to become acquainted than the Easter vacation period. Harlem Teachers Teaching TR teachers are also taking ad- vantage of the holiday season with an ardor equal to that of the pupils. Many are at the Jersey seashore for a brief respite, some ure seen at the theatres and many were in evidence at the various social affafrs. Of course a goodly number will be seen at the Alpha Bowling and Adelphi complimen- tary assemblies and perhaps a few will be Jet in on the bacchanal affair of the “R. EB. P's”. | By the way, have you met these? Use the Library Mr. B. H. Locke, bald, learned, astute and thorough. Mr. Howard Day, P. S. 139, cos- mopolitan, experienced and exact- ing. .

Teachers’ Decalogue a La Modern Ts commandments have been laid down for the American school teacher by the Federal Bu- reau of Education. The bureau evidently holds that heredity and an even temperature have much to do with the teacher's ability to maintain her position. The ten commandments follow: “Thou shalt have other interests besides thy schoo) room. “Thou shalt not try to make of thy children little images, for they are a live little bunch, visiting the wriggling of their captivity upon you, their teacher, until the last weary moment of the day and show- ing interest and cooperation unto those who can give them reason- able freedom in working. “Thou shalt not scream the names of thy children in irritation, for they will not hold thee in respect if thou screamest their names in vain. “Remember the last day of the week, to keep it happy. “Humor the feelings of thy chil- dren that their good will may speak well for thee in the little domain over which thou rulest. “Thou shalt not kill one breath of stirring endeavor in the heart of a little child: s °° “Thou shalt not suffer any un- kindness of speech or action to enter the door of thy room. “Thou shalt not steal for the drudgery of many ‘papers’ the pre- cious hours that should be given to recreation, that thy strength and happiness may appear unto all that come within thy presence. “Thou shalt not bear witness to too many ‘schemes of work,’ for much scatered effort is a weariness to the soul and a stumbling block to weary fingers. “Thou shalt laugh—when ft rains and wee, wooly,ones muddy the floor; when it blows and doors bang; when little angels conceal their wings and wriggle; when Tommy spills ink and Mary flops a tray of trailing letters; when visitors appear at the precise mo- ment when all small heads have forgotten everything you thought they knew. And again I say unto you, laugh, for upon all thexs com: mandments hang all the law of profits in thy schoolroom.” Sscholarship Offered The Olymplang Society ts offer ing a Scholarship to any young mun or woman between the age of (16 to 8U) who Nave al ienst completed & grammar scnoo. cuucalion, Lenu- ble at the Braithwaite »usiness School, ‘tne Scholarship wul on- litle wie success! candidate Loo course of instruction in all the sup- jects inciuaed mo the Compiew S3USINeSS LCOUrse olercd by Lue Schovt, Unar grwauavion; cureiwn Le@s welll pal ifuilr Lhe Selo: SNIP 2 Wate aad Wil VUOKS BU.

The colored Canadian moved ahead of hig ebony brother from Seattle when he led the pack home on the thirty-third lap of the great coust to coast race. But both lads are within easy striking distance o1 the leaders with fully 2,000 more miles yet to be covered, Granville, who {s a walker, has Leen contented to let the other runners set the pace while he held to the surer and less dangerous policy of walking. In this way he has conserved his energy and saved his feet while the runners not only burnt up thelr reserve energy and wore thelr feet out, but endangered their legs from the unkles up.

Swim atracted a few. play and was Harold’s first shot. After that, he missed all but one shot, more than a dozen tries at the basket. Following rapidly on the heels of Mayers score came Pappy Ricks, who got away with a neat shot even though fouled. This gave lim a free toss and he tallied an- other point, making three in less than as many minutes. Then, after Slocum garnered two points, Ricks scored on another foul toss. The Celts were trailing at this poiut, the score reading seven to three and w minute later Saunders made it nine for the home boys. Then the Irish became peeved and Bunks, Holman and Lopchick went on a rampage. When it was over with the half, the Rens were on the short end of a 27 to 14 point score, Minus the services of that sterl- ing player, Fats Jenkins, the Rens faced the Impossible. Jenkins, sutf- fering from a bad leg, was in no condition to play. He went in for a few minutes during the second half but had to retire. Ricks was taken out in the second half and the visitors found a discouraged misfii lined up against them.

Here's the one place where old and young find the zenith of wholesome entertainment. Sinner and Christian rub elbows here and neither is the worst for it. * * * AS FOR EASTER SUNDAY, it must have done your soul good to have seen the many beautiful young ladies, beautiful gowned, gracefully gliding around the ballroom floor on the arm or in the arms of their gallant knights of the night. * * * Now that the Big Parade is over, don't forget that Sunday is "Opportunity Day" and you should never pass up an opportunity.

Well, we are planning a few more big spectacular surprises for you and in the very near future. Just watch these columns for "Savoy Events." * * * WONDER WHAT'S THE matter with Savoy Bob Rob these days? Looks as if he had lost his last dollar and all that. Oh yes: that must be it. Oh well, cheer up Bob, she'll be back soon, won't you Del? ** Have you ever stooped to think of the many Savoy innovations, innovations that were novel and unique? Just look back over the old calenders of 1926 and 1927. THE SAVOY STANDS PAT on the record already established if any one wants to challenge the work accomplished. But we won't stand pat when it comes to seeking new forms of entertainment for our patrons. ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW. is our motto. * * * IF YOU WANT another word for "CLASS" just say SAVOY. When it comes to class, it's the SAVOY and the SAVOY is the peak of class. * * * A SURE CURE FOR the blues is a visit to the SAVOY. There's no better Spring Tonic these days than the Royal Flush and Lloyd Scott, taken one after the other, at least twice a week. And the only place you can get this invigorating tonic is the Savoy. ★ ★ ★ IF THIS DOES NOT CURE you, then consult an undertaker, make out your will, advise the folks you're going on a long journey never to return, then crawl in bed and let the relatives fight over your insurance, the next day. --- BUT THE SAVOY never fails. A man who was in the grave up to his neck was taken to the SAVOY and his feet came to life just as his head died. That Royal Fash Orchestra will bring anything to life.

The War Horse of the Hustlers Herewith is tendered free of charge an idea rich in possibilities to some person interested in things literary and in the divine comedy of living on the dark-meat side of the social arena in these here States. The idea has long possessed me, but it came with added force when I observed the sinister notice that Melvin Chisum was promising his customers some new and startling news from his political shop. The idea briefly, is this: That some intelligent and articulate Negro collect data on the perennial group of flat-footed hustlers who infest the race and who make their living slim-flamming credulous suckers (mostly white) out of a luxurious livelihood without being forced to the indignity of working. In no other race is it possible for such fellows to thrive. The best the white man can do is to produce a Ponzi. But such fellows are dull, compared with the hustlers who, to boot, usually manage to stay well inside the law, and project their rogueries with a blare and a gusto, which the ofay brethren of the craft avoid. I suggest two as a starting place. Many more are to be found for the seeking. First, there was the late lamented Giles B. Jackson who during the time of Roosevelt and Wilson repeatedly stuck up the government for large sums of money for schemes essentially hollow and which deluded no intelligent black amoor in the country. On one occasion Giles got $55,000 from the U. S. Government, $20,000 from the State of Virginia and $10,000 from the municipal government of Richmond to finance a Negro fair. After collecting vast sums from eager Greeks and Italians for concessions at the fair ground the event came off and enjoyed a total attendance of less than a thousand people. Giles was a suave and black individual who all of his life kept the white people thinking that he was the Moses of his race and kept large sums of money flowing through his office to the persons of a hord of yellow women, for which the old man had raised an inordinate fondness. In spite of his unquestionably large income Jackson died poor, due to the loving care of these pink ladies. It was even discovered that he had willed his family home to a lady of questionable virtue of Norfolk, Va. Now operating is Mr. Melvin Chisum, the outstanding genius and a pattern for such hustlers. During his life he has secured funds for over thirty newspapers in Maryland alone, all of which promptly went to the wall. A study of these interesting barnaces would be a rare and illuminating document; and would furnish a curious and amusing side-light on the social conditions faced by the American coon. Within the Law SADLY, this column unburdens soul in announcing the marriage of Dr. Phil Brooks to neeMiss Ethel Cowan, of You Street, and while the tears fall down my cheeks, the same might be noted of Professor Charlie Thompson and Miss May Stewart. Births, deaths and marriages, properly considered, are biological notes very foreign to the interest of such modest fellows as myself. Up to the present I have been most retiring and discreet in arranging my affairs with women and have not felt the pious urge to yell for my pastor and the neighbors to widely advertise the culmination of intentions which are not to be discussed without blushing. But I wish, now and then, to keep abreast of the best-thought-of Tattler writers which ever and anon will force upon me the writing of stuff essentially silly.

Morningside 6368 112 WEST 133rd STREET BODIES SHIPPED TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD By MISS FLORENCE MAYLIN (Formerly associated with Mme. Roy-Paris) LAST week we were explaining the tremendous importance of the "little things", the accessories of a custume which either make it chic and lovely or else give the dowdy, over-dressed look. I must reiterate and emphasize again the last point that not more than two colors should be worn at the same time and they should be of harmonizing colors. A black dress is of course the most practical as a touch of any color may be used on it in the form of a flower, buttons, buckle, tie or bow. The same general rule is also true in regards to neutral colors such as tan, gray and the various tones of these colors. A few good color combinations are: rose or old blue with either tan or gray; yellow or blue with red; red, yellow or green with blue; yellow or blue with green. Always remember to use your brighter, stronger color in a smaller amount. If you select your material because of a certain lovely, vivid color which you like and is becoming to you, make that the important point and do not spoil the effect by a detracting color no matter how pretty. Let the cut and style of the dress as well as its own beauty tell the story. Gloves sometimes seem secondary, but they are barometers which indicate trimness, neatness, attention to detail and smartness. With three pairs of gloves you can always be well-dressed. Have one pair of good strong, wearable every day gloves, either black or dark tan to go with your day coat. If you can only afford one pair of good gloves by all means get black; they will look well with every dress. Then a second good pair can be a tan or gray to go with your afternoon dresses. Keep your gloves cleaned and mended. Your hands make a great impression—never forget that, gloved or ungloved! social commentators are hastily made privy, births, it pleasures me to remark, are more quietly executed, and in some cases arrangements are made in the utmost privacy. On the morning of March 17, 1999 A. D., The Washington Tribune will carry the following nifty item in its social column: "Miss Genevieve Skadmore, of Tea Street, after a visitation by the stork, finds herself the mother of a splendid ten-pound boy. Father or fathers have not at this writing come forward to share the family joys." * * * Footnote to Above: Notwithstanding the fact that, since the year 5000 B. C., nothing new or sapient has been said about the eye-gouging combat perennially raging between the sexes, I hazard this guess which is as good as another: It takes a man and a woman divinely stirred by the high poetry of an ancient urge and all the caressing agony of tender dreamings to carry off a convincing love affair. while marriage, most often, is the melancholy outcropping of a huge jest perpetrated by a determined woman and a convenient parson upon a run-down victim.
