WATERS, former National Democratic leader, deplores the fact that we of all groups, pay so little attention to getting in on the ground floor of gilt edge investments. Mr. Waters contends that if our group would go in more for safe and sound investments in Real Estate, stocks and bonds in a few years it would be a common sight to find Colored directors of building loan and financial societies. The "Bank of Italy" stock sold as low as one hundred dollars a few years ago, today you would be unable to purchase a single share of stock at less than $2,000. I'd give worlds, continued the ex-Democratic leader, if my people would consider from an investment standpoint, what it means to get in right with institutions of unquestioned worth and nation wide rating. 'Dunn' will gladly furnish a rating on any of the fly by night wildcat propositions that have flooded my beloved Harlem during the past quarter century, and only a nominal fee is charged for this service. We have any number of calamity howlers in our midst who set up the claim of "I told you so" every time a race project goes upon the rocks. These same folks remain very tight lipped when outstanding white institutions fall with the savings of their lifetime wrapped up in them. As a group we must learn that there is no such thing as "White or Black American dollars." The color scheme of the Nation's currency still remains 'Green'—Evergreen, with a profoundity of glaring yellowbacks thrown in. In less than two weeks a bonafide banking stock proposition will be offered for sale in Harlem. It will be optional with you to accept it, or steer clear of it. The Bankers Loan and Trust Company of America, will be the organisation that Oscar H. Waters will represent, and America knows of no higher rating corporation. --- Friday, May 25, 1928 TATTLER GERALDYN DISMOND—Managing Editor The police of New Haven, are busily investigating the whereabouts of William Cubbinson who formerly resided at No. 610 Orchard Street, New Haven, Conn. According to a dispatch that appeared in a New Haven daily, Cubbinson, a waiter by trade, was the victim of one of the most brutal attacks ever to come to the attention of this periodical. A waiter at an exclusive club of that city, he was taken in a police raid according to the statement of a fellow waiter. John Parker. AMERICA is fast becoming the greatest economic empire in history. We are not only exploiting the vast resources within our borders, but American business genius, backed by the loyalty of American Labor, and frequently by the threat of American bayonets, is almost daily gaining the commercial hegemony of new lands overseas. American products are penetrating far corners of the earth and in return an ever swelling stream of foreign wealth flows into American coffers, and along with wealth comes leisure, luxury and the treasures of art. This vast accumulation of riches and art should make Americans the most prosperous and happiest people on earth. Every citizen of the United States, however humble should be able to say truthfully "It is better to be an American than to be a king". A small group of monied Americans can say it now. Mr. Sinclair can say it. So can Mr. Stewart and Mr. Blakmer, wherever he is. The Ohio crowd can sing it and the Indiana boys can join in the chorus. But plain everyday Americans cannot say it with sincerity because they do not recieve their fair share of their country's prosperity. The rank an dfile of Americans are being deprived of something far more valuable than their share of the material prosperity of their country. They are being reprived of the right to feel proud of the fundamental justice and humanity of their motherland and made to feel like step children who are entitled to only the leavings of their betters. It is the duty of our government to call a halt to the material and spiritual disinheriting of the majority of our citizens in favor of an unscrupulous few. The men at present in control of our government do not think so. Tey are committed to a policy of augmenting the power of plutocracy while bitterly resisting every measure that would give the farmers and working classes an opportunity to enjoy some of the fruits of our unprecedented prosperity. Their ideal seems to be a Carthaginian state in which wealth, leisure and the enjoyment of art and nature shall be reserved for the monied minority while the majority are given a dole just sufficient to make them efficient workers. It is time for a change. What our country needs, and what big business is going to prevent it from getting, is an administration that will make an honest effort to distribute the fruits of American prosperity so they may be enjoyed by all classes of American citizens. It is inevitable and right that the captains of commerce should absorb a relatively larger share of our national affluence but they who work with hand and head are entitled to more than scraps. While it is true that luxury is the privilege of the wealthy it is also true that in a country as rich as ours even the lowest class of workers has a right to security from want and enough leisure to enjoy the cultural advantage of national prosperity. Among the avowed candidates for the Presidency there is only one whose record shows a continuous adherence to the principle that our material wealth should be made the means of placing the finer things of life within the reach of the many as well as the few. He is a man who has governed a great state on the principle that excess wealth means something only when it can be converted into human wellbeing and happiness. It seems superflous to name him. He is Alfred E. Smith. R. Alvin Moses, the Genius of sports writers, informs us that the colored baseball leagues have acquired a large number of enthusiastic young players. This is the best sport news we have heard in a long time. Youth, with its vigor and enthusiasm, is literally the life blood of sports, and in acquiring a bumper crop of young talent our magnates have made their wisest move in years. Later on, we shall have more to say on this important theme — unless Mr. Moses says it first. New York Police Are Accused of Brutally Beating Waiter. Investigation Promises to Wax Warm. Parker's story was, that on the morning of May 6th, Cubbinson left his home for New York, and that the following night he was taken in a raid on an alleged nefarious resort by New York policemen. Cubbinson, was given the works as the 'third degree' is commonly called, and as a result died in Bellevue hospital. Parker, told the police that a man named Curt Daniels, of New York, a mutual friend, had come to New Haven and told him of the tragic fate of Cubbinson. The investigation will be carried on very thoroughly. Wanted---A Human President Wanted---A Human President GOOD NEWS Page Three "Who's Who on Interstate Tattler" Geraldyn Dismond — Society Alvin J.

GRACE RIDDICK OF PORTSMOUTH DIES SUDDENLY The community was shocked over the sudden passing of Mrs. Grace Mae Riddick of a well known Portsmouth, Va. family, who died after a few hours illness last Friday afternoon, May 18th at 5.15 o'clock in the home of Mrs. Bessie Wallace, 275 W. 140th Street. Mrs. Riddick, who was employed in a downtown dress establishment, left her lodging place on Friday morning in apparent good health. She worked half a day, after lunch she was taken with an epileptic spell and was brought home. A physician was called immediately, but three spells followed quickly one after the other, the final one ending her life. Mrs. Riddick possesed a charming personality. One sister, two brothers, relatives and a host of friends mourn her lost. CAPTAIN McDONALD OF LINCOLN PARK ESTATES HONORED EACH week finds the Mac-Rad Estates Corporation showing increase of sales and Mr. Levy and his pleasant little wife are gratified over the interest Colored Harlem has taken in this splendid land offer. And why wouldn't "Colored Harlem" be vitally interested in better living conditions? Haven't they been housed improperly long enough, and who else offers a proposition as gilt edged and clean cut as the one Mr. Levy has brought to this community. His competitors have come in with marsh land, property in a sector that the laws of the State militate against equal opportunity for you and your heirs. Men like Bill Eagen, stationmaster of Pennsylvania Station, a national figure, who is interesting every one of his employes in this vast undertaking, are the type of citizens who appreciate just what the Mac-Rad Estates are bargaining off. Perhaps the greatest single honor to come to the organization took place just a few days ago. Captain William McDonald, an employee of the Lincoln Parks Estates development, who had charge of the yacht "Adele," has been appointed a licensed Captain under the American flag. Captain McDonald, formerly of Greece, will sail one of the palatial ocean liners plying between this country and England. Beautiful Long Island stretches forth her arms to you, and desires that you shall be heirs and joint heirs with such Americans as Arthur Brisbane, ex-Mayor McReynolds of Atlantic City, both of whom own a considerable portion of Long Island property at Lido Beach. But one thing is certain, Mr. Levy will welcome the visit to the office of any one who can prove that his land offer is not the finest of its kind in this country, taken from any angle.

Morr, 1811 NEW MONTREAL AT 19 HENRY, MAY 1911 Clarence Robinson's Big Revue: "All Aboard" Presenting The Pepper Snatchers; Waltie & Mordasny; Joeine Nelly; Wiltie Jackson; Gussey Brown; Johnson & Brown; Morrie Marquette; Dog & Moe; Mason & Benny and 12 High Brown Steppers NEW WORK; MONDAY MORNING; MAY MON The Midnite Steppers OF 1928 RADIO, HAMILTON, HAMILTON — TAYLOR, VINCENT = PHILIP POTTERMAN — JOHN POTTERMAN Boston Photo Way WITH VINTELE TAYLOR AT THE LAFAYETTE Theatre this week, Clarence Robinson's red hot revue is holding forth and how. The cast lacks balance, the singing is nothing to lose sleep over and the comedy is the usual hokum. But the dancing is good and the novelty features unique and very pleasing. As a matter of fact, it's the novelty features that lift the entertainment out of the mediocre class. The opening is one of the first we have seen, introducing Bunny Brown and the Four Pepper Shakers with a nifty dancing aggregation of fascinating maids. Little Miss Brown, presenting a highly pleasing picture, beautifully costumed, scores in her dance, following the song number with the Pepper Shaker. Plump and winsome Mercia Marquez follows and gets a nice hand at the conclusion of her selection, "The Man I Love". The two Jimmies, Johnson and Brown, appear in a racy little comedy act and Jimmy gets a tremendous ovation at the end of his song "Ships That Never Come In". The song is a story of disappointment and is true of the great majority of people. Mason and Baily, while amusing consume entirely too much time. The act has no little merit and registers well the first few minutes. But after that, they become boredome. Don and Mue, an Ofay team of aesthetic dancers, work all through the entertainment and their work is of a high order. The four Pepper Shakers are really the headliners and register high. Buddy Walker's musicians were all at sea on the opening performance as was too be expected for the first show. But they no doubt will be hitting on all six cylinders (or are there ten?) before the Tattler comes off the press. --- THE ALHAMBRA Theatre players are appearing in "Prison Windows" and Bandy's Picnic this week and meeting with the usual success. The first named playlet is a modified version of George Dagarab's play of the same name. J. Lawrence Criner and Miss Fannie Laine play the leading roles and are well supported by Eddie Thompson, Arthur Ray, Ted Blackman and the Misses Bustle Button and Alice Gorgas. Miss Gorgas is something of a comedian and creates many a laugh with her comedy mannerisms and chatter. She is a very entertainer, a character artist of great value. Sandy Burke George Mumma Montross Brooks Miss Diana Amanda Randolph and Miss Lily, (who joined the players this week) appear in the mumma body end of the program. The work of this aggregation of mumma is deserving of great credit. Miss Inez Dennis, the clever dancing favorite, closed here Sunday. She was present with several bouquets of American flowers by her admirers, with expressive regrets at her going Due to some misunderstand her resignation was requested. She trained two or three shows. They were sent out of town to prove and contributed in no little measure to the success of the Allamby Players. ☆ ☆ ☆ AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE this week, Charles Olden and the Lincoln Players are appearing in dramatic sketch cultural, The Year Of The Yukon. Assisting Chamley in the presentation of the plays are: Hilda Offey. Ivey Allison. Moute Hawley, Lawrence Chamley, Nault, Albert Chester. The story is the old one, the conflict of races with this meeting in the far and frozen northland. Here might is right with the positive instincts prevailing. But once in this lawless land, man is measured by his sense of honor, the value of his word as well as his strength and courage. The Lincoln Dramatic Prayer is exceedingly well in the disposition of the story. Consistently the handicaps and the slights of learning the party in a new impurity they deserve much credit. John Mason and Co. present on comedy end of the entertainment Crackshot Hackley, Jimmy Shall, Kitty Brown, Sterling Grant and a bronze chorey and present on comedy revue entitled "Em". Sterling Grant presents his singing and Miss Brown presents soubrette gets a nice hand and pleasing work.

The views of Lincoln say they were in favor of it plays while Mrs Anderson insisted on it. That is true the management was was wrong. The most obvious 'reason of the management is the fact that not properly presented in much less than requires a considerably longer time. We induced in between a picture and something not possible to devote two hours to the act instead of acting their parts the act trague and watch up the 'performance in the science gets the idea that drama is not powers, who claim it is, are a little goofy. An even more important fact on the act it is the difficulty of a group of actors less ordinating their talents for the adequate night play in the short time allowed for who knows his business is aware 'that men respect part of mastering his role. And know the role he is to present until he has by means of gestures, expressions of the items of the body without speaking a word of adjusting voice to action and the most several performers coordinating their efforts work.

The result will be acting that will soon get a real grip on the time, handling a large variety of small parts actors' versatility and they will be able days properly, when a public will be able Lincoln management has taken one forward terms, I suppose accidentally, they might and add a few young men and women to is an accomplished actress and doubtless knowledge of the art to a 'group of men' Chenault could do the same for a few I suggest that the Lincoln people engage women and as many young men, not from it employed in musical shows, but young and a medium of social background and artistic company as student-actors under Mr. high. If this suggestion is adopted and for a year or two, the Lincoln will have being company. It will pay off too, which he made as profitable as exhibiting new I do not know any of the inside of the aquabble between the management of the Lincoln Theater and Mrs. Ida Anderson. I only know what I've heard, and on the basis of what I've heard I just as make a low edge remark. It may be that my information is all wrong. That possibility does not worry me much. Like all religious men, I never let a little thing like right or wrong stand in the way when I have a cause to advance. The powers of Lincoln say they were in favor of presenting short concuct plays while Mrs Anderson included on plays of greater length. If that is true the management was right and Mrs. Anderson was wrong. The most obvious 'reason supporting the contention of the management is the fact that no full length play can be properly presented in much less than two hours, thereby it requires a considerably longer time. When a 'play must be crowded in between a picture and something they call a scene, it is not possible to devote two hours to the play. The result is that instead of acting their parts the actors merely repeat the dialogue and watch up the 'performance in such a way, that the audience gets the idea that drama is not so hot and that we reviewers, who claim it is, are a little goofy. There is an even more important fact on the side of the management. It is the difficulty of a group of actors learning their parts and coordinating their talents for the adequate production of a full length play in the short time allowed for rehearsals. Every sister who knows his business is aware that memorizing his lines is the easiest part of mastering his role. An actor does not really know the role he is to present until he can portray the character by means of gestures, expressions of the face and might movements of the body without speaking a word. Then some the task of adjusting voice to action and the more difficult task of the several performers coordinating their efforts to obtain smooth teamwork. All this drudgery and experience is necessary for the proper preparation of a full length play in one week while giving public performances of another play two or three times a day. Shorter plays are much easier to handle. When the stage time of a play is from twenty minutes to half an hour, the actor constitutes his performance much less exhausted than is the case when he must work through a full length production. Consequently if he is a conscientious artist he can devote more time and energy to his rehearsals of next week's play. The result will be progressively better acting that will soon get a real grip on the audience. In the meantime, handling a large variety of small parts, will have developed the actors' versatility and they will be able to present full length plays properly, when a public will be created for them. Since the Lincoln management has taken one forward step in regard to drama, I suppose accidentally, they might proceed a little further and add a few young men and women to their cast. Miss Clough is an accomplished actress and doubtless she could impart invaluable knowledge of the art to a 'group of alert young women. Mr. Chenault could do the same for a few talented young men. I suggest that the Lincoln people engage three or four young women and as many young men, not from the riff-rail at present employed in musical shows, but young people of good families and a medium of social background and put them in their dramatic company as student-actors under Mr. Chenault and Miss Clough. If this suggestion is adopted and followed up conscientiously for a year or two, the Lincoln will have a really competent acting company. It will pay off too, which is of more interest to the Lincoln management, for art, if skillfully exploited, can be made as profitable as exhibiting nakedness excellent and it is well worth visiting the famous White Light section of Strandway by way of variety. White Light are now on sale at the Vintage Office, 2296 Savannah Ave. for those who wish to make renovations without having to go down town.

Bradhurst 4539 CADILLAO CARS TO HIRE Clinton A. Williams and Cornelius A. Hughes in Battle for Democratic Leadership What was regarded as the first real attempt, made by Colored Democrats to sound out the sentiment of those in favor of a new Colored leader, satisfactory to the largest number, was the meeting held at the Association of Trade and Commerce last week. The meeting was attended by some of the best known and most influential Colored Democrats in the party, including such characters as Clinton A. Williams, Cornellius A. Hughes, Atty. George W. Abbott, Dr. Hudson Oliver and the like; in addition to a few lesser lights whose word has considerable weight with the masses of voters. The meeting was warm as each of the leaders in unmistaken language told of the evils which were confronting the Colored Democrats in this district, all of them declaring that the present political regime was doomed to failure. Finally the choice of the meeting simmered down to what appeared to be a divided house between Clinton A. Williams and Cornellius A. Hughes, with the advocates of Mr. Williams having a shade the better of the argument. At this stage of the proceedings the meeting was abruptly adjourned, leaving the matter of a new leader very much in the same place that it was before the meeting. To the close observer, however, one thing was made clear and that is a change of leadership is imminent. Dissatisfaction is the keynote of the revolt. As one of the speakers said: "Jobs are as scarce as hens teeth and the few that are available to our people are being given special favorites, rather than to the deserving party worker who is responsible for the votes." Much applause followed this statement. Another angle to the question lies in the expenditures of the campaign funds. It has been charged that the reason the party met with such overwhelming defeat at the polls last fall was due to the failure of the present leadership to adequately provide for the party workers. The funds that should have been spent in the interest of party success, it is charged, was put in the pockets of a few people. Leading Democrats assert that as between Hughes and Williams that Williams would get the call over his more elderly rival, if the matter was put before the voters. They declare that Hughes represents the older school of politics, while Williams represents the younger and more progressive element. In this connection they point to the fact that Williams has proven his worth to the community in more ways than one. He has recently leased in the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Apartments, one of the largest and most modernly equipped grocery and meat markets in Upper Harlem. This is merely the first of a chain of such stores which will provide employment for Colored clerks and cheaper groceries for the housewife. As the president of the Williams Finance Corporation, Mr. Williams has been instrumental in saving many from losing their homes through foreclosure proceedings by rapacious landlords. He is directing head of one of the largest coal companies in the East, located in Flushing, L. I., and plans soon to extend his operations in Harlem so that the present high price of coal may be brought down to a more sensible level. When interviewed by a reporter for this paper, Mr. Williams said: "My fight is the people's fight for recognition. Leadership should be responsive to their wants and if elected, I intend to abide by the dictates of the majority in the appointments to be made."

MOSES No romancer giving imagination full reign, ever dreamed adventure half so mad as the actual deeds of Colored horsemen scattered throughout the glorious pages of American Turf history. The affinity of the Negro for the mule has been made the subject of comment in jest and earnest ever since the long eared hybrid of the Genus Equees, and the dark skinned American of African descent first came in contact. Isaac Murphy, a graduate of the Kentucky racing stable of Hunt Reynolds, who gained the Nom de Plume of the "Colored Archer" astride the horses of Ed Corrigan, is generally looked upon as the ablest colored jockey to grace the American turf. Murphy was a veritable 'centaur' in the manner in which he sat a horse and as a judge of pace—he was without a peer. It was related of him that while in the employ of Ban Haggin he was asked to work Ban Fox three quarters in close to 1.14. So literally did Murphy follow instructions, 'Ban Fox' was rated along for the distance in exactly that time, several expert clockers agreeing on the authenticity of the performance. Rode Derby Winners In the first five years of the Latonia Derby. Murphy rode four winners of the race on Silver Cloud, Modesty, Volante, and Emperor of Norfolk. It is singular to note that the fifth winner of these first American derbies was also a colored jockey,—Tony Hamilton, a great horseman in his own right. For J. B. Haggin, Isaac rode many of his greatest races having the mount on Firenze, Salvatore, and other noted thoroughbreds. He was a powerful finisher when it was required, and took especial delight in drawing a finish so fine as to win by inches when he could have won going away. For Ed Corrigan, he rode Riley, winner of the Kentucky Derby, Freeland the conqueror of Miss Woolford; and Modesty, winner of the first derby. ★ ★ ★ He won the Kentucky Derby at various times on Buchanan and Kingman, the third, fourth, and fifth running of the Latonia Derby on Bersan, Silver Cloud and Libretto. At one time or another he won most of the rich Eastern stake races. Murphy, was a polite and polished gentleman, to the manner born, and during his heyday he enjoyed the respect and confidence of the biggest men in the racing world. In all he came close to being the perfect rider, and certainly his equal cannot be found to-day among wearers of the spurs and bigskin. A Disappearing Type Few modern writers have attempted to tell the story of the blackamoor during the period of slavery in this country. The almost plite disappearance of the Negro as trainer and jockey in recent years, contrasts strongly with his accomplishments as bondman. Nearly all the wealthy turfman of Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky dating back to the days of the Colonies, trusted the training of their high spirited racers to colored grooms. In those early days of American turf history, both man and beast were tested to the utmost, horses being required to run four mile heats. Delving into the hazy records of the sports we find the name of "Old Charles" born in slavery associated with many of the greatest racing classics in the annals of the sport. It was "Old Charles" who fitted 'Flirtilla' for the contest at four mile heats, which made her the champion of the South. This race took place over a century ago and Flirtilla was later turned over to Col. William R. Johnson, the "Napoleon of the Turf". The great horse was turned over just before she defeated 'Ariel' in the great sectional match race for a purse of $30,000.00 between the North and the South at the Union Race Course of Long Island in 1825. "Hark" Trained LeComte LeComte, author of the fastest four mile heat on record, made in that never to be forgotten match against Lexington at New Orleans in 1852, was not only ridden by a Negro, but was trained by one. An obscure Colored youth whom the records refer to as merely "Abe" was LeComte's rider and is accounted among the greatest that ever lived possessing the cunning and strategy of a Sam Chifney. "Hark", a bondman of splendid habits and training, fitted the great colt for her record breaking performance and acted the part of personal attendant and bodyguard all throughout her pristine greatness. On the occasion of "LeComte's" great performance, her colored trainer was presented with a gold medal by Governor Herbert of Louisiana. The State's chief executive made a wonderful address which was responded to by Gen. T. J. Wells, owner of LeComte. The feeling shown by the Louisiana turfman in this response, showed plainly that in the sportive realm at least, prejudices and creeds were forgotten issues by overlord and serf. At the time of this occasion, Hark was owned by a Dr. Merritt of Virginia. Cato, Monkey Simon, Touchstone and many other Colored jockeys rode with equal felicity the famous thoroughbreds in slavery's dark era, as did their more fortunate brothers who at various times owned them. Issac Murphy was the peer of all colored riders and very few Nordic horseman equalled him. LAFAYETTE BILLIARD EMPORIUM Cor. 132nd St. & 7th Ave., New York City Pocket Billiard Match JAMES EVANS vs. ANDREW MIDWAY WORLD'S COLORED CHAMPION WORLD'S CONTENDER 450 Points. In Blocks of 125 Continuous Mon., Tues., Wed., May 28th, 29th, 30th at 8:30 ADMISSION FREE. Ringside seats. Balcony Reserved—50—25 Cents. Advance Sale opens May 23d. --- James Evans to Meet Midway at Lafayette Room Jimmy Evans, Conqueror of Rudolph and St. Jean, who is the recognized Worlds Colored pocket Billiards champion, will have a further opportunity to enter the State and Inter-State tournament. If the Adonis of the covered green is able to defeat Andrew Midway in their 450 point stake match wich is to be held at the Lafayette Billiard Emporium on the eve of May 28-29-30, he will be one milestone nearer his objective. Midway holds victories over the twice State champion Charles Harmon, and St. Jean who recently defeated Frank Taberski. Evans has met and defeated this same group. After many attempts to cross cues with Midway, James hopes to make much of this golden opportunity and if he is in the form he claims to be, he should provide stern opposition for any of the outstanding professionals not excepting Greenleaf and Taberski. It is the intention of the proprietors of the Lafayette Room to make an attractive offer to the topnotchers in behalf of Evans if he defeats Midway. With both men confident of victory, this match should result in the finest sort of exhibition seen in this neck o' the woods. The game will be contested on the main floor, ringside seats and balcony reserved. Game will start at 8.30 P. M. with Mr. Martin Norman acting as referee. "Flying" PULLMAN, WASH. (A. P.)—Wesley Foster, Negro flash of Wanatchee Wash., broke the world's record for 175 yards by running the distance in 16.6 seconds last Friday. Foster's record was made in the dual track meet between Washington State College and the University of Oregon. Running in the 220 yard dash for Washington State College, he was clocked at the 175 yard mark. Getting off to a perfect start. he led the field easily all the way to the finish.

The community is elated over the return to her old stand of Mrs. Jane DeSilver. — Now there will be one smile more in the D. & D. Betty, one shouldn't star gaze at 3 A.M. and most certainly not from the middle of the street. Yes Helen, the Parisian garters are very attractive, at least the traffic officer said as much during the tie up last Tuesday. The Bard of Sigma Phi, — you know the sweet crooning chap, who tells his story in language poetic, has a certain "Deb" all a flutter, — how could you?

The dress and lingerie you may keep, but please return the jewels. * * * Mae Cobb, the vivacious Boston queen, has returned to the city from the Hub at the wheel of her new Diana straight 8. It's just "too bad". She is looking like a cool million. And guess who we saw at the Blackbirds performance the other eve—no other than the tantalizing Bertha Wade with her sweet man Leo Munsford. They were surely a righteous pair. Ray Scott, the popular lady's idol of White Plains, is on a motor trip calling at Washington D. C. and Lunchburg Va. He is driving a big Caddilac and we know the Va. maidens will get a thrill. Elizabeth Anderson, the comely "Brown" whom all the boys like to meet at the Sheeps Club, has tossed her hat into the ring and says she's Paris bound. We know Roscoe will see her through. Tim Moore says, the thief that stole his brand new tuxedo and all his personal apparel, was the dirtiest guy in the world. Murder is a good name for what he deserves. * * * The charming Ruth Krygar is on a trip at the seashore. She writes that she may not return before fall.

THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE EAST The beautiful and charming NATALIESCOTT surely should win out in any contest. ** Dandy Bob Anderson seems a little lonley since the Mme. went to California.

Here's her reply, girls: take a tip. Meat once a day, three times a week, eggs and fish once a day, three times a week; all the fruit and vegetables desired; no potatoes, very little pastry and white bread are just a few of my rules for fitness and weight control.

She is positive that she will win the trip to Paris, and the Tattler is arranging with Lindbergh to take her across. * * * Alma had a birthday last Sunday and she celebrated it with a merry party in the form of a "Cocktail Tea" at 6 o'clock Sunday evening. We do not have to tell you about the affair other than it was most successfully arranged by Billie Cain & Company Ltd, and was just too good for words. We can't tell you everybody who was there, but this will give you an idea: Ethel and "Lill" Shep, Hazel Coles, Elida Webb, Edith and Lena Wilson, Trixie Harris, Virgie Martin, Ethel Moses.

PHILADELPHIA MISS COOLBREEZE OF QUAKERTOWN Migration LAWYERS, doctors and their wives and children, teachers, editors and reporters, students, artists and poets, and last, but not least, athletes and social satellites migrated from North, South, East and West to the Campus of Lincoln University for the annual Track & Field meet on Saturday, May 19th. Page Twelve * * * Preparations for the trip seemed to occupy the minds of three fourths of the urbanites on Friday night and Saturday morning. The main purpose of the Sunday after, however was the catching up on sleep lost on the road driving through the fog and downpour of rain. * * * New York. Baltimore, Washington, Harrisburgh, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, not to mention Montclair, Orange, Camden, Carlisle & points east, every city this side of the mountains, sent its correct number of representatives. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY TRACK MEET As for the results of the meet, Lincoln won. how, when and why you will no doubt find quite elaborately described on various sports pages. Needless to say Sydnor was his usual spectacular self. Captain Mitchell held the boys right up, tho not so swell as at the Hampton meet the previous week. We noticed Bradley of Philadelphia who placed second in the 2 mile. He is a typical Philadelphia, watch for him in the future. We can't write about Lincoln and track without mentioning John Silvera. That boy can do! and no mistake. He did his part for dear old Lincoln by bringing home the bacon in the half mile. * * * I marvel at the wonderful power of endurance displayed by various officials, self appointed and otherwise on that festive occasion. The space beside the center path was the scene of a walking relay. We are at odds however as to wheather to present the cup to Marchie Parks or Officer Artie Thomas. Ten to one the latter is the winner. * * * Many and varied where the cars parked beside the track. In our party were Miss Mal. Cooper and Reba Rowie of the Quaher Village. Eleanor Shamwell of Washington, D. C. and Hilwe Pierce of New Haven, Conn. We noticed Dr. Norwood's Page parked behind us. Mrs. Norwood charming, in a woolen sports ensemble, was chaperone for Vashtai and Carter, little Miss Lania Davis and Miss Sylvia Hawkins. Mr. Paul Baswell was host to We are SORRY if you were left out of the PHILADELPHIA SOCIETY, CLUB or DANCE NOTES Will you write or send yours to MISS E. P. McDOUGAL no later than Saturday, 6 P. M.

Paul made repeated trips from track to car, car to Refectory, car to pump, car to room, car to Miss Wilson. He was, to be sure, one occupied person. \* \* \* Peeping thru the screen, leaning over the wire, sitting on the running boards of cars, standing in jolly groups we saw Alice Williams of Lawnside, Geo. Billingsled of Aldmore and Howard U., Dich Nelson of Penn., Wilma Lucas. Jachia Holder, all sunburned n'everthing, Anne Marquess, the titiat haired Helene Lassiter, Miss Lola Johnson, "B." Miller late of California, Miss Mary Brady and Maude Evans. Orrin Evans, Florence Bough, Edna Loving and Mae Caudery, Roddie Lucas. Tea Valentine, "Rip" Day and Bush Horne were all very much in evidence. * * * We like Miss Wilson, whom the boys call "Ma". Better still we like her famous chicken dinner. Dinner became quite an interesting event before many minutes. Thanks to the unending wit of Dr. John Marquess and the no less interesting answers of Mr. Langston Hughes, chicken, sweet potatoes and all were quite well digested. * * * A sudden thundershower gave even a more cozy effect to the meal. To add to our enjoyment "Penny", called by his mother Clarence Pendleton, became a cage of apes to a nearby piano. For two rounds or more he was "the" attraction. We noticed John Rich formerly of the Wissahickon Boys Club of Germantown, seated at the same table. Adellia Hou, Sam Johnson, Eddie Grey were at one table. And I must not forget Hytha Jackson and Booker T. Washington. Out in the hall was a table set for "the twins" and "the twins". Moon and Mon. Dot and Shug. * * * How can I describe the exciting entry staged by Herb St. Clair. I wonder, yes, I wonder how many parties he could be the life of at one time. \* \* \* Herb's brother, Fred St. Clair, is fast becoming one of Baltimore's leading lawyers. More power to him. * * * "Dean" Pichens J. and Miss Emile Brown were visably enjoying their delicious meal. * * * Se much for Ma Wilson's. Then thru the rain to Livingston Hall, the scene of the fun making for the remainder of the evening. The Play "The Emperor Jones" and the dance following are happenings long to be remembered by everyone present. ☆ ☆ ☆ THE EMPEROR JONES Didn't it rain! Of course, that wasn't the only reason for the presence of such a large audience. The boys had been talking about it all day between dances, vaults and jumps, so that t'wasn't a bit surprising when the affair went over so big. It was "Emperor Jones", Eugene O'Neill's 'piece de triumphe' that transported us for two all too short hours to The stygian, studded stumps and jungles of "West Ind. islands". The play was put on by the Mask and Gown Players of Lincoln University, under the direction of Professor Charles Boothby. Thomas McFall was the Emperor and he "Emp-ed"! Yea, even to the 9th degree. We had to sympathize with him when he prayed and cried so hard and long, trying to elude the ghost of his murder victim. Thomas really tried his—well, hardest, to shoot that ghost and at one of the most tragically dramatic moments, when the proverbial tears should have been welling up, I found myself giggling at the thought of how well "ghosty" had learned the art of "ducking" bullets. Oh, yes, I stayed until the whole play was over. Of course, I'll admit that it didn't stop raining, but even if it had I would have remained anyhow. I knew perfectly well that all of the members of the orchestra (and how they did go!) weren't "gatherin-round" for no cause at all; and with intsrument alla-gleam. Never no that! Well, I suppose the Emperor will kill the ghost in this paragraph, how? You know, I forgot to tell you that Emperor, the Jones, had a silver bullet, made especially for ghost-killing. Why, certainly! Something went wrong though, because at the end I remember very well how little trouble that silver bullet was to the ghost, because said ghost raved right on apparently, after Rufus Jones, once Emperor, has cast in his final chips. A grand scramble and rumble resulted in chairs being stacked heavenward, ever heavenward, against the "four walls". The play had evidently proved itself to be inspirational, for between the final curtain and the orchestra's "Home Sweet Home" I noticed quite a few (aesthetics?) that were the gracious vehicles of conveyance for a vagabond mind that insisted upon linking up some of the "Collegiate contortions" with the jungle ceremonies of some far, far distant land. All in all it was a 'gorgeosity". More Beans — Our friend the poet is said to be writing his latest "I'm Muscle Bound". Spinach!—called by some mustache. — When you eat it gets in the hask. * * * This is the time for exams. Don't feel hurt, pal, they are like measles, mumps and chicken pox, almost everybody has'em at some time. \* \* \* Don't tell anyone I told you, but I overheard two serious minded young men discussing the right and wrong of feminine dress. They seem to think that it is quite as much a faux pas to wear evening dress in a barn as it is to wear a breakfast coat to the Junior Prom. The young men were observing at the dance after a certain track meet not long ago. Would it be too much for me to say that I agree with them? Lincoln University News TRAVELING all the way from the foothills of chester county to the sunkissed land of the south, the Lions, twenty-six in number, heally ran true to their old form. The Lions were embittered by the previous defeats in all other sports decided to let the C. I. A. A. meet be their medium of revenge. It was one of those pleasant southern days that makes one glad to be alive, for the Lions showed that they really were. ..Coach Rainey, the new Liontrack coach, showed merited strategy in the way he handled the C. I. A. A. enteries. The Lions started the day when Capt. F. B. Mitchell broke the record for the Mile. He chalked the new C. I. A. A. mile time at 4 minutes and 39 seconds. He was closely followed with a record from Bryant in the shot and the discus, not to forget Sydnor who raised the C. I. A. A. high jumping standard to six feet 'one inch. He made several tries to make it higher, but was unsuccessful. Like Young, the former record holder, took 2nd place in this event. ** The next record to be broken was broken by Slim Booker of Union when he Broad Jumped twenty-four feet and one inch. The results of this meet certainly surprised all present. From all appearances Hampton will have to work hard to capture her former title from the Lions next year, for the Lions have really broken their jinks. The Lions hope to keep up their winning streak on through the next season. General 'Summaries 120-yard High Hurdles—Won by Williams of Hampton; 2nd, Coles of Hampton; 3rd, Norris of Lincoln.

Exams, Lincoln Billiards and a swell hangover precludes the report this week. * * * Springtime and a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love and poetry; even so with Lincoln Freshmen. Mr. James Lockhart takes his pen in hand and submits the following bit of verse about the virtues of Lincoln men. Please don't be too harsh in your criticism. There's power in a Lincoln man Inherited from his noble sire There's romance in a Lincoln man His blood is hot as fire, There's a way about these noble youths That causes maid's heads to whirl For they are first in hugging, first in Loving, and first in the heart of every girl. Honor and praise will be yours, girls, if you attain the love of a Lincoln man. For it's well-known throughout the land That he will go, he loves to go because he can. A Lincoln man is known to shoot As Father Abe has done before Father Abe told you all about his country, But his sons can tell you more. They know all the definitions for pretties And buzzards besides They can tell you of amorous tactics That will waft you to the skies. They are gentlemen at dear old Lincoln. That's where romance got it's start. heart. JAMES LOCKHART That Baby You've Longed For Mrs. Burton Advises Women on Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margaret Burton, of Kansas City. "I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and melancholia. Now I am the proud mother of a beautiful little daughter and a true companion and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I will gladly reveal it to any married woman who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge. She has nothing to sell. Letters should be addressed to Mrs. Margaret Burton, 257 Massachusetts, Kansas City, Mo.

ALL of our papers last week were alive and bubbling with hilarious accounts of the "What—Good—Are—We" affair and the numerous accompanying activities. Washington seemed to be the only city on the map, and from reports I'm convinced that it was. We, by the Sea, remain "No—Good—Are——We" (with apologies for the play upon words). Just now the days are rainy, cold and damp, but with all of this, some of our friends have been thoughtful enough to keep things going. Our own talented and versatile Lenore Scott is taking a leading role in "The Maker of Dreams" to be presented Friday night by the Dramatic Club, of which T. Montgomery Gregory is director.

A number were brave enough to forget this May chill and venture out to Lincoln University last Saturday to witness the Track Meet. Mrs. Stanley Lucas, wife of Dr. Lucas, entertained a few of her friends at cards last week at her attractive home in Indiana Avenue. Mrs. Lucas knows just how to make her friends happy. Then too, Mrs. Charles Randall had some of her friends in recently to enjoy a good game and of course good cats. She makes a charming hostess and her friends never miss a chance to be with her. Our lovely Norvell Major is taking her correct little self up to New York this week-end. All of the "males" have applied for week-end leave to show particular deference to their Harlem guest. Pearl Banks was missed from the shore last week-end. Seems to me I heard that she had gone to see her parents in East Orange, N. J. (incidentally, the boy friend with the Chrysler). Jimmie Campbell seems to continue his weekly "runs" to Philly; which reminds me that I saw him one chilly, foggy night last week wearing a crisp straw hat. Can you imagine it?

The program was a review of the activities of the children for the year from the kindergarten to the eighth grade. About 500 children participated in the program. The entire gymnasium was used as the stage for the various events. The carnival spirit was represented in the colorful decorations and in the gay costumes the auditorium was filed to capacity. The program follows: Music by the school orchestra, under the leadership of J. H. Jaquish; a fairy play, "Little White Rose," by the First Grade; music by the kindergarten band; doll dance, second grade; singing by the third grade chorus; mimetic drill.

We thought we were so red hot that we could burn up joy—until we went to Fiddles. When that party was over we crawled into our auto seats (owned, begged or appropriated) and decided to seek employment in a circus for tame animals. The two towns were well represented. The Monumental City and the City of Magnificent Distances. Indeed, it would have been a keen guess to the uninitiated as to whether that was a Baltimore or Washington party. Just let me shut my eyes and recall who I saw after they played that "Anti-Westinghouse Blues". Everybody seemed to be in on that dance. Of Baltimore's elite I glimpsed Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Waters, Prof and Mrs. A. Jack Thomas (Mrs. Thomas was Anita Woodland), Dr. and Mrs. Le Roy Berry, Dr. and Mrs. Cecil Colster—and Cecil surely made the Wilkin ring—Mr. and Mrs. (beautiful Tillie Trower) Bob Young, Dr. Wm. Burkley Butler, Mr. Alton (Chipple) Berry, Dr. B. Price Hurst (also of D. C.), Miss Kate Shepherd, Miss Audrey Berry, Miss Marian Sabbs, Mr. Chas. Kelson (in the six figure class, as they say), Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Shipley, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gail, Miss Thelma Johnson and Miss May Richards and Miss Catherine Mc Cracker. Mrs. Marie Lyona was resplendent in a gorgeous gown. For once I could look at her without getting seasick, as she had left most of her dazzling Tiffanys at home. Dr. Lester Smith and Walter Trower came down from Philadelphia to show that the City of Brotherly Love isn't populated entirely by Quakers. That insatiable Washington crowd crept out from the embers of the what-good-are-we, and sent over Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hurst, Dr. and Mrs. Sevellon Savoy, Dr. and Mrs. Wm. Wilson, Dr. and Mrs. Walter Caroin, Dr. and Mrs. Merrill Curtis, Attorney and Mrs. George E. C. Hayes, Dr. and Mrs. John King Rector, Mr. Ira Davis, Mrs. Hattie Edwards, Mr. Louis Lautin; Miss Bessie Russell, Mrs. Burton Robinson, Mr. Wm. Russell, Mr. Perry Ferguson, Miss Dorothy Singleton, Mr. Bob Nance, Miss Mildred Wright, Mr. Eugene "Spider" Rummins, Dr. Walter "Squawk" Harman, Dr. Cliff Gordon, Dr. Lloyd Newman, Mr. Hillis Walters, Dr. Dorothy Bouldings, Miss Antoinette Wilson, Miss Caroline Calloway, Mrs. Rhetta Clifford, Mr. Jack Smith, Mr. Charles Drew, Mr. "Billy" Goms, and the quite debonair Bill George. I hear that Dr. Arthur L. Curtis walked over (you know, it has been done)). Arthur says he came on the train, but these Doctors are so full of excuses. He was, as usual, the Prince of Good Fellows. And say, Galadi, will you tell Geraldyn that we missed her and that she missed a grand and glorious party. The Frats are closing down and preparing for the Grand Exodus. Mervin Coy has stopped over at Omega, on his way from Rowland, North Carolina. Would you believe it? They say he's a Principal of Schools down there. Dignified, serious and all that. * * * * * * * * * * * * ```markdown ``` * * * ** --- as that seems to be the only supervail sit down to a glass of Canada pale as that's how I feel to day. I am amed.

St., N. W. Did you fill your eye with Odrienne Marshall's beautiful Bal Boheme, at the Francis Junior High School? Well, don't miss it next year, as it was surely a thing of beauty. And lovely Mabel Jones who came to us from Columbus, Ohio, by way of New York, will present her pupils in Terpsichorean recital at Armstrong on June first. That girl has an unquestionable rhytmic gift and her work last year with toe, ballet and interpretive pantomime was a revelation to Washington. You know she is a graduate of the Vestoff-Serova Russian School. We still play cards. Endora Johnson entertained her club on Wednesday. Corinne Lauders Rogers took her guest prize and Delilah Williams, Ruth Cant and Lillian Harper, walked off with club trophies. You remember brilliant Emil Cook, don't you Caladi. Sister-in-law to New York's Victor Daly? Well, that girl has won a coveted scholarship at exclusive Bryn Mawr. I have an almost unbelievable secret to tell you. Dr. Emmett J. Scott confessed to me that he has done nothing of importance this week. If that be so, it will be the first week of his life that he has rested. I've never seen any one able to do so much work and keep so cheerful. Mary Gibson Brewer really put one over with her French Club's presentation of Le Medecin Malgre ble. Those students rattled off yards of French like oral Parisiennes. Now, Galadi, don't knock over my sewing basket. I'm cutting strips of crimson and black ribbon for the competitive drill to be held in American League Park on June 7. Well, old dear, I know it's not polite to suggest to company that they go. But Estelle Coffey Carr is going to drive me up to Warrenton, Va., and we've bot to get back by four o'clock to witness the unveiling of a bust of Mr. John E. Milholand, at Howard University chapel. So, as they say in Charley's aunt, Ta, ta, I'm off. Howard University Campus HOWARD is in full bloom now. The eyes and ears of the whole student body are set fastly upon the great Big Howard open Track Meet which is to be held on the thirtieth of May. From all the Spectator can hear and see, this is going to be the red letter athletic day for old Howard U. A host of Howard track stars are grinding into shape as a good old track is kept busy daily. Mack and Drew seem to be sure winners. Track fans from New York, Philly, Baltimore, Boston and Richmond are expected to be here with bells on. All eyes are pointed towards Howard for May 30. . ☆ ☆ ☆ * * * * * * * * * ** *** ELVERA. : The exercises of Kappa Mu Honorary Society were held in the Andrew Rankin Chapel on Tuesday, May 15. Dr. Broadus Mitchell, Professor of John Hopkins University, addressed the newly elected members. Among those newly elected to the light of Kappa Mu are Minnie Pearson, Gladys Jameson, David Tucker, Robbie Turner, Edith Marshall, Harriet Feurgson, Mary Sullivan, Lillian Hill Louise Cannaday, Carroll Miller. * * * Being elected to Kappa Mu merely marks another one of the high water mark of David Tucker's college career. His stay at Howard has been a continued line of success and progress topped with great endeavor. Howard lauds such characters. * * * The Omega Psi Phi was host at a beautiful Mother's Day exercise at the Omega Frat House, 500 T. Street, at four P. M. Many of the elite from Philly, New York and Baltimore were there. The brothers turned out in splendid fashion; bringing their mothers and sweet lady friends along. The famous Omega Trio was on hand, and they really gave us plenty of music. Omega surely paid a high tribute to mothers. * * * We had a very rare treat when Mary Church Terrell addressed the Student Assembly in Andrew Rankin Chapel on Friday. The Chapel was packed and everybody at least heard the elsons of "How to think". * * * Strange enough, but it is a certain thing that one who gives authoritative information will always be sought after. And so it was with the Spectator who had a great desire to ascertain opinions on certain topics of Campusology. After meeting this Howard Student, which I am about to introduce, I became extremely interested in his genius, wit and ability to converse. This loyal Howardite is none other than Jean Ilmac. Ilmas is a man of extensive literature, and of vigorous faculties. He is acquainted with the wise ways of men and the foolish ways of women. He is a man who has spent three years studying the cross section of Howard's life and the doings of Howard students. Jean promises that he will give us an opinion on some of the campus "low down" next week—so be on the lookout for it. * * * Edna Johnson--You Red Hot, cut damsel! Why don't you give Darnell Johnson a break. We know that quite a few "Big Time" wild party men are smoking you over. * * * We see that Mignon Walker, the flash from Detroit has decided to take a course in undertaking. ```markdown ``` Seems as though Charlie Shorter has slipped clean out of Estelle's hand.
