July 20. 1928 Synopsis HERBERT DENT, a loyal member of a hardshelled religious sect, succumbs to temptation and commits what is for him a cardinal sin—the enjoyment of a vaudeville show. He promptly falls in love with "Maryelle Rose", a feature dancer of the bill. After the show, he halls a taxi which is hastily opened by an excited young miss who implores him to help her escape a horrible pursuer. In the short conversation that resulted Dent realizes that his companion is "Maryelle Rose" and that there is much excitement in the air. By carefully following Maryelle's instructions Herbert sees the Devil-Face pursuer, evades him, and the two settle down in the cab to chat. But only for a few brief moments. Maryelle advises him further and slips from the cab. Upon his return home he is attacked and suffers some painful bruises but is able to go in the street the next morning, where he unexpectedly runs into Maryelle Rose disguised as a colored woman. They later meet by appointment. Maryelle is much perturbed over the loss of a bit of paper which Herbert has picked up but carelessly thrown into the yard. He tells the girl where she may find it. She departs and having found the paper telephones Herbert the good news and asks him to meet her. Herbert was silent. He had had nothing but surprises for some hours, but this one was a knockout. His dead silence dismayed Maryelle, who sat looking at him nervously. At last he spoke. "So that's the way you get into the secret service—by young ladies diving into your cab." "Of course not," she laughed. "You're not in it officially, you haven't taken an oath and you don't wear the secret insignia. You were pressed into the service against your will, or rather without your knowledge. But you're a loyal American citizen." "Of course." "Were you in the war?" "I was too young, they wouldn't take me." "Well, you're serving your country now better than you possibly could have in the army." "What! By just riding around in taxicabs? That's funny. And you—you're in the Secret Service?" "Yes, the same way you are, unofficially and just as accidentally. The Secret Service men don't know I'm in it any more than they know you are." He waved his hands as if to clear away a fog. "Maryelle, the deeper I get into this business the less I understand it." "You'll understand it when we get where we're going." "Where is that?" "To the New York headquarters. I've been going there for a week, but the man I must see has ben laid up with the grip and my message couldn't be trusted to anyone else. This morning I learned that he was to be in his office by twelve. It's about time we directed this cab there." She called out a downtown address to the chauffeur. The car left the park and started down Sixth Avenue. "I feel a sort of exultation doing this," said Maryelle. "I lost a brother in the war. This is just what he'd want me to do, and you're doing just what he'd have done." After a long run the car stopped at an old, inconspicuous office building between two high modern structures that looked as if they might crowd it out of the way. The couple paid the chauffeur and entered the building. A fat old man was dozing by the elevator and Maryelle woke him. "Third floor," she said in a low voice. The old man's eyes let out a gleam of intelligence, then they half-closed --- Harold Curtis Brown "WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS?" "SAME AS BEFORE," ANSWERED MARYELLE. "IVE BEEN HERE EVERY DAY FOR A WEEK AND SPOKEN TO YOU!" again. He took them up. Maryelle led Herbert to a door without a name on it and knocked. It was opened by a strong-looking man who might have been a prizefighter. He blocked the door for a second, then Maryelle made a peculiar motion and he stood aside. They entered an anteroom containing three or four people. They were "WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS "IVE BEEN HERE EVERY I a motley collection, these people. One was dressed like a barroom thug, another like a race-track tout, and another was impeccably attired in the full morning dress of a gentleman. Yet they were all chatting like chums. At the entrance of the visitors they looked up idly and then looked away, but Herbert felt that each man had taken in every detail of his appearance. Another man came out of a backroom and walked up to Herbert and Maryelle. "What is your business?" "Same as before," answered Maryelle. "I've been here every day for a week and spoken to you." She pulled back her sleeve, showing the white skin beyond the brown. "I had to do that this morning to carry things out," she explained; and the man recognized her. Fifth Installment "Well, he's here to-day," he said. "Wait a minute." He disappeared again. In a few minutes he returned and beckoned. They followed and he led them into SS?" "SAME AS BEFORE," DAY FOR A WEEK AND SP a small room and shut the door. They faced a high, wide window with frosted glass, and under that window sat a man at a desk. He was about forty-five years old, with hair of mixed gray and brown, a round, ordinary face with gray eyes and clean-shaven lips. As he leaned forward with his elbows on the desk he looked fat and round-shouldered, as if he needed exercise. To Herbert, who had expected a sharp-featured, knife-eyed Sherlock Holmes, this man looked like anything but a Secret Service chief. Maryelle stepped forward and frankly stared at the man behind the desk, and he looked back at her. "Yes," she said finally, "you are he. I just had to be sure. You exactly answer Ravel's description." The man's shoulders seemed to stiffen at the name of Ravel, but his voice was even as he replied with a question. "Who's Ravel?" Maryelle smiled. "He's the man who gave me this." From her bosom she drew the piece of paper that Herbert had thrown out of his window the night before, and put it on the desk before him. This "ANSWERED MARYELLE. SPOKEN TO YOU!" time he did not conceal his emotion. He half rose from his chair, his eyes widened in unfeigned amazement, then he began to laugh like a boy. "I suppose that takes a lot of worry off your mind," ventured Maryelle. "Sit down, young people. Now, please tell me how this paper came into your hands." Maryelle drew a long breath and began. "I am Maryelle Rose, dancer and singer, made up just now as a colored woman. My companion here is wearing his natural color. "Last Sunday I had just finished a week of vaudeville in Philadelphia. I rode out to Fairmount Park for a walk in the afternoon. I left the upper drive that overlooked the river because it was too noisy, and went down Page Three ose er Short Stories to the wide road at the edge of the river. The lower road was deserted and the only noise was the whizzing of the cars on the road above. "Suddenly I heard a terrible cry. I stopped short, and it was well I did. As I looked up, a taxicab came tumbling down the bank. Almost in front of me it struck a tree, and the chauffeur was dashed out against a great rock, right on his head. I knew at once that he was dead. "Then I heard a groan, and there under a bush lay the passenger of the cab. I ran to him and he turned his head painfully. 'Quick, lady! My back is broken. I'm done for.' He was gasping. 'You American?' 'Yes,' I told him, 'my brother died in the war.' 'Good. I'm Ravel, Secret Service. Take in right inside vest pocket.' I reached an pulled out a paper. 'That's it,' he said. 'Secret Government formula—war gas . . . wipe out cities . . . millions . . . stolen by man with face of the devil . . . native American but traitor . . . foreign spy . . . selling America to enemy . . . get a million for it . . . I recovered paper from him . . . chasing me . . . car skidded . . . I'm dying . . . take paper to Felton . . . New York headquarters, Clove Building . . . third floor, no number . . .

"He couldn't say any more," continued Maryelle. "I tried to ease his position, but it only made him groan. I called for help and finally a park policeman came, with several other people. Then three or four men came rushing down the bank, evidently from a car that had stopped on the road above. His face was certainly like the devil's. I looked to see if Ravel knew him, but by that time Ravel was dead. "This Devil-face looked at all of us closely, then he spoke importantly to the policeman: 'Officer, I am Mr. Felton, this man's chief in the Government service. He is carrying an important message in cipher which must be in Washington to-night.' At this the policeman looked very respectful. Devil-face, as I always think of him, described the paper and told the policeman to search Ravel's body for it. 'Remember,' he said, 'this is important Government work and you will be well paid for it.' "The policeman searched the body, but of course the paper was not there." "Very good," said the chief as Maryelle paused in her narrative. "So he passed himself off as Felton, eh? It was a good thing Ravel had described me for you. Ravel was a good man; we'll miss him. Go on with your story." "Well," resumed Maryelle, "this Devil-face was not satisfied. He bent down himself and went through the dead man's pockets. Of course he had no right to do it, or to have the policeman do it, but he was getting away with it. He sent his followers to look all over the place. He failed to find the paper and I knew he wanted to kick the body of the man who had outwitted him, but he didn't care. His men came back and said they had found nothing. I was burning to get away, but no one else moved, and if I started off alone it would look suspicious. "Then Devil-face turned to us commandingly. He had such an air of authority that nobody there except me thought him anything but what he pretended to be. 'Who was the first one to find this man?' he asked. 'I was,' I said boldly. He gave me a searching look and said, 'This paper must be found. Young woman, did (Continued on Page 15) Social Snapshots Geraldyn Dismond ON the heat wave out went the big time parties. Of course the more intimate twosomes and foursomes continue, but that about ends it. One wow of a party was pitched last week—Charles Dickey and Hall Johnson turned out for De Hart Hubbard—and will you believe me, I got confused and missed it. In lieu of something more thrilling-to tell you, I am reproducing my radio talk on Negro Women in Journalism which I read over W. A. B. C. last Friday on the Negro Achievement Hour, under the auspices of Who's Who in Colorea America, Inc. The program was arranged by Edgar M. Grey of the New York News and dedicated to the Workers of the Harlem Press. In addition to the musical program which included selections by Edward Steele, sightless pianist, Benjamin F. Ragsdale, tenor, Lena S. Roberts and Fay Canty, sopranos, J. Baynard Whitney spoke on News Sources, Bessye J. Bearden on the Influence of the Negro Press Outside of New York, and Edgar Grey gave the history of the development of the Negro Press. If you are not interested, skip a column or two. Here goes: 1. At the outset permit me to state that any discussion of Negro women in Journalism which is limited to seven minutes, and that is the time allotted to me, must necessarily be most cursoryfl. It will not even allow a full and complete tabulation of the women members of the Fourth Estate. So I hope to accomplish only two things—to give a fillup to your realization that we always have been and always shall be workers of the Press and to impress upon you how thoroughly we have invaded the profession. * * * Our first publication was Freedom's Journal which made its debut March 16, 1927, in the City of New York. Two years previous to that date had been born Mrs. Frances E. W. Harper, the journalist mother. From the scanty records which remain, I could not unearth the date on which she first published but we find her a contribution to the Anglo-African which appeared in 1859. She was followed by a host of women, the traditions of whom we still carry on. Of these earlier women journalists two points are significant; first, because of the stress of the period in which they lived, they wrote on what is popularly called "deep subjects". The last time I heard the late T. Thomas Fortune talk on the present day Negro Press, he lamented the fact that our newspapers had permitted their lofty and solid material to be supplanted by comic strips, society chatter M A R G A R E T M.

But our lady writers of fifty years ago must have given him much joy. They wrote on the evils of slavery, the horrors of intemperance, the injustice of disfranchisement. They published original poems depicting mother love, the trials and tribulations of their people, and the beauty and dependability of religion. They were praised for their philosophical writings. Ida B. Wells Barnett, who now resides in Chicago and is still an active figure in affairs, was known as the Princess of the Press, not because she contributed to so many publications—although her list was long—but because she so ably wrote on political topics as well as problems peculiar to women. It was not until years later that we find Miss A. L. Tilkhman, assisted by Lucinda Bragg Adams, editing the Musical Messenger, a magazine devoted exclusively to music, or Mrs. A. E. Johnson who dared to venture forth with The Joy, an eight page monthly for purely literary work. Only one place in Pennsylvania do we find mention of a society editor. Miss Lillian A. Lewis of Boston contributed a They Say Column in the Boston Advocate which later developed into a society department. Unusual social events were reported as special articles, and the personal, slangy chatter with which a number of us now delight our readers was unheard of. *** The second fact of importance concerning the earlier women writ- Long live the Queen of France—ROSIE SWAIN. Her beautiful attendants are Lucille Blackwell, Mary Smith, Georgette Branch, Constance Booker, Lois Ramsey and Floria Ramsey. Long live the Queen of France—ROSIE SWAIN. Her beautiful attendants are Lucille Blackwell, Mary Smith, Georgette Branch, Constance Booker, Lois Ramsey and Floria Ramsey. ers is that they were represented in all departments of the profession. For example, there were a number of women editors of departments of Our Women and Children, published in Louisville in the eighties. Prof. Mary Virginia Cook at one time editor of its Educational Department; Miss Lucy Wilmot Smith, its Woman's Department; Miss Ione E. Wood, its Temperance Department and Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barnett served at Editor-in-chief. Nor was she the only editor. Mrs. M. E. Lambert edited the St. Matthews Lyceum Gazette of Detroit, Miss Mary E. Britton, The Ivy; Mrs. M. S. Crary, the Proincial Freeman of Canada and Miss Lillian A. Lewis, Boston, the Advocate. Miss Alice E. McEwen was associate editor of the Baptist Leader, Miss Adah M. Taylor edited the Woman's Department of the Long live the Queen of France— attendants are Lucille Blackwell, Constance Booker, Lois Ramsey a Afro-American Budget and Mrs. A. G. Cooper, the Woman's Department of the Southland, Miss Meta E. Pelham was an editorial writer on the Detroit Plaindealer. Some were reporters and special writers on daily white newspapers. Mrs. W. E. Watthews was a reported on the New York Times, Herald, Mail and Express and Sunday Mercury. Mrs. M. F. Mossell who still lives in Philadelphia, was a member of the reportorial staff of several white dailies in Philadelphia and it was she who first urged an Associated Negro Press Service. There was even a woman business manager, Mrs. C. C. Stumm of the National Monitor and a few publishers—Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barnett who put out the Memphis Speech. Miss A. L. Tilghman whom I have mentioned as the publisher of the Musical Messenger, and Mrs. Johnson of The Joy. Practically all of the earlier newspaper women were columnists and feature writers, contributed to a dozen or more papers and were particularly fond of nome de plumes. * * * Of the present day women journalists the greatest number are writers of society news. A disgruntled male of the Fourth Estate made the remark in my presence that the society editors were selected not because they had an iota of ability but because they enjoyed certain social positions. I couldn't help laughing up my sleeve, because in a measure the statement was true, but nineteenth of the society editors of my acquaintance could write circles around him on any given subject. Naturally society women should make the best society writers, just as a doctor should be able to put out the best health column or a sportsman the best sport page. But it is also true, however, that women of society are in most cases the best prepared intellectually and consequently are turning out pages that compare favorably with, and in some instances surpass other present Negro Press Offerings. Among the better known society writers of today we have on the Interstate Tattler staff, which I place first because society is one of the Tattler's three features- Edith Peacock McDougald, who writes Philadelphia social notes under Miss Coolbreeze, Leona Denison, Chicago Society editor, Hallie Queen, contributor of the Washington Elvera letter, Alyss Mae Hershaw and Julia Goens who jointly edit the Atlantic City society, and I who still struggle with New York society; Sara Edwin Jenkins who edits the New York News ROSIE SWAIN. Her beautiful Mary Smith, Georgette Branch, and Floria Ramsey. society pages and writes under Winka, a letter of social comment; Thelma Berlacks—society editor of the Amsterdam News; on the Chicago Defender Bessye Bearden for New York society and Nettle George Speedy for Chicago; Rebecca Dotson for Indianapolis and Katherine Kent Lambert for Birmingham. Eva Overton Lewis, on the Chicago Bee under Phoebe Brown; Valena Brooks of the Light; Evelyn Crawford Reynolds of the Philadelphia Tribune and Mary Frances Thornton of the Indianapolis Recorder. * * * Next we have women editing columns on subjects of especial interest to women. Lillian E. Sharpe of the Amsterdam News and Ann Grayling of the Whip have Household Hints column; Leola Lilliard of the Amsterdam News writes The Key to Culture; Georgia Douglas Johnson and Sarah Potter under nome de plumes contribute advice to the lovelorn for the Pittsburg Ccurier and Amsterdam News respectively; Sara Spencer Washington, founder of the Anex Beauty College and Nina Temple writes Beauty Hints for the Inter-State Tattler and Norfolk Journal and Guide; Loretta B. Owens edits the Junior Ideas for the St Louis Argus; Maude Roberts George of the Chicago Defender and Beulah Mitchell Hill of the Chicago Bee contribute comments on musical events. and Effie Lee Newsome edits the Children's Department of the Crisis. * * * Of the so-called columnists special feature writers we are represented by Alice Dunbar Nelson's As in a Looking Glass, appearing in the Washington Eagle, and Weekly Excursions, which is syn- THE INTERSTATE TATTLER dicated throughout the Associated Negro Press; Mary Church Terrell's Up To Date in the Chicago Defender, Gladyce Greenway of California Eagle, Georgia Douglas Johnson's Homely Philosophy for the A. N. P., my own in New York Town in the Chicago Bee and Jerry's Jottings in the Pittsburg Guard, and Druiscalla Hunjee Houston special writer for the A. N. P., Bernice Dutrieuille of the Pittsburg Courier, Delilah L. Beasley of the Oakland Sunday Tribune and Dr. Alice Wooby McKane and Emma Lue Sayre of the general Negro Press. THE LIFE OF MARY C. MAYER IRENE "PUSS" ALEXANDER, the lovable and efficient new hostess of Dark Tower Miss Irene, who is a F. F. P. has made Harlem her home for a number of years. She is a member of the popular Les Louss Club. Then come the women members of the editorial staffs. As assistants to editors we have Thelma Berlack, assistant editor of the Amsterdam News, Ferol V. Reeves, assistant editor of the Negro World; Sadie Wilson, assistant editor of the Nashville Globe, Bessye Bearden, New York City editor of Chicago Defender and Julia Bumry Jones, city editor of the Pittsburg Courier. The managing editors are four in number—Maggie L. Walker of the St. Luke Herald, Bertha Perry Rhodes of the Philadelphia Tribune, Charlotta A. Spear-Bass of the California Eagle (she is also the owner), and I of the Inter-State Tattler. And we have two women editors—Catherine Irwin of the Chicago Bee and Mrs. Theodore Bauman of the Oakland Eagle. * * * And finally we reach the women business managers, publishers and owners. Amy Ashwood Garvey, Olla Walker are business managers respectively of the West Indian Times and American Review and the Atlanta Independent; Sadle Warren Davis is treasurer of the Amsterdam News Publishing Co. Mrs. P. B. Young of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, and Bertha Perry Rhodes of the Philadelphia Tribune; Beatrice Briggs is president of the Philadelphia Tribune; Blossie Blevins Oldfield is the publisher and owner of the Chattanooga Defender, and Mrs. E. D. Cannady is publisher and owner of the Advocate of Portland, Oregon. * * * In conclusion let me again state that this is not a complete list. For what information I have been able to secure I am indebted to Garland Penn's History of the Afro-American Press, Edgar M. Grey of the New York News, Floyd J. Calvin of the Pittsburg Courier, T. Arnold Hill of the National Urban League, Robert G. Nelson of the Washington Eagle, Noah D. Thompson of Opportunity, and the Who's Who in Colored America, Inc. I hope that this brief history may serve as the neucles around which a comprehensive record may be made of the women workers of our Negro Press.

Tattler "Bon Voyage Party" At Savoy The Inter-State Tattler plans to give the winners in the great "New York To Paris" popularity contest that has been running now for almost eight weeks, a real red hot send off a few days after the contest closes. The beautiful and most popular ballroom here in Harlem, the Savoy, has been selected as the most suitable place for the event and after consultation with the Savoy managers, the night of Wednesday, August 8, 1928, was decided upon for the monster celebration. This is to be a stupendous affair. Notables in all walks of life have been invited to assist us in the "Bon Voyage Party" and there will be many a glorious surprise for the public when the winners of the big popularity contest are declared. "Broadway will Meet And Greet Harlem" and all Harlem will turn out to "Meet and Greet The Celebreties From The City Of White Lights" as Broadway is known. Stars from "Show Boat", "Porgy" and Leslie's famous "Black Birds of 1928 will surely be present on the night of August 8th. Good old Bill Robinson, better and more populary known as "Bojangles", will be master of ceremonies and, everybody knows what that means. "Bo" is a power all to himself and oh, how Broadway, as well as Harlem, loves the one and only King of Hoofers. In fact, the nation, almost every theatre lover in your Uncle Samuel's wide domains, is an admirer of Bojangles. He lists governors, congressmen, big supermen court judges, high police officials, sport and theatrical luminaries among his army of friends Card of Thanks God gave him to us, We loved him so. The brightest jewel of our home; His loss to us is grief and pain, But we hope we shall see him again. THE CHILDREN'S HOME With sincere love and heartiest thanks to our friends who extended their heart-felt sympathy in the sad hours which threw our home and fireside into tears and sorrow we extend our appreciation.

Robinson, as most of our readers know, is one of the big saterlites of Lew Leslie's "Black Birds of 1928". His dancing has and is one of the outstanding features of the spectacular production of Leslie's now playing at the Liberty Theatre, 42nd Street and Broadway. To see "Bo" and Miss Adelaide Hall strut their stuff is sure a treat and fully worth the price of admission LONELY HEARTS By Jackie Noble Young lady of 19, now in London, contemplates a visit to New York in the near future and desires to correspond with a young gentleman, neat and thoughtful, with a view to meeting on her arrival.

My , my, what a big time vaudeville team they would make and how. Many Harlemites have seen the production any number of times and each time they get a thrill watching this nifty artistic combination, of Hall and Bo. And no wonder. Bill Robinson has taken a lot of palms in teaching Miss Hall the finer points of dancing. Bo is an adept at imparting his knowledge to others and in Miss Hall he found an apt pupil. She is very frank in the matter and freely admits that Mr. Robinson has helped her greatly. But it was not a difficult matter for the great dancer to teach Mr. Leslie's new star, Adelaide, after having taught any number of chorus units how to dance up and down stairs. He has a knack of imparting his knowledge that few others have. While Alma Smith of "Show Boat" is in the lead, she is being closely pressed by another Smith, Majorie by given name. This second Smith is a resident of the new Rockfellers Apartments and has a host of admirers. But some how or other, Alma does not seem to fear half as much as she does Mae Brown of the Savoy, who is fourth but is one of the most dangerous in the big contest. Then there is Miss Rosey Swain, another little society favorite, who has been holding her own up to date and may spring a high surprise in the closing weeks of the contest. There are several others also who are likely to move up over night. Miss Jessie Dennis is within easy striking distance and so is Betty Crouse way out in the "Windy City", Chicago if you please. And don't forget the facinating Ethel Moses, who is also enjoying the breezes from Lake Michigan in Chicago. Lily Yeun, who is out of town at present, may also have something to say about the awarding of the prizes when she comes back. It would not take so many five year subscriptions to throw any of these contestants up into the money. And we would not be greatly surprised if Miss Denis McClennan jumped up among the leaders before this month is out Letters have ben mailed and eight prominent citizens of the City have consented to act as judges. They are: Mrs. Besseye J. Bearden, New York Representative of the Chicago Defender; Mrs. William Robinson, wife o fthe popular dancer, "Bojangles"; Lew Leslie, producer of the "Black Birds" and the man who brought the late Florence Mills to the front; Edwin Smalls, proprietor of "Smalls Paradise", Will Vodery, musical director of many Broadway shows; Billy Pierce, who is proprietor of the dancing academy bearing his name; George Innerman, of "Connie's Inn" and Leigh Whipper the "Oyster Man of Porgy".

All present departed satisfied but ere "Home Sweet Home' had been played, all had become satiated with enjoyment. The Kastle was illuminated with soft, multicolored lights, and the reflections of the light by the gowns which the ladies wore, resembled coruscations of livid lightning. The music was enchanting, and chased away, for the time being, the cares of life. Au revoir was played at 2 a. m., and it was conceded by all present that the Kappa party was a tremendous success.

Petite and dainty little Ray Foster, a member of the Alhambra ensemble, is a product of our own New York. She is graceful, talented, and has alluring personality. Miss Foster needs no introduction to the theatrical world having played in several successful musical comedies including, "Seven Eleven", "Mamie Smith's Revue," "Keep Shufflin'" and others. Maude Mills, Louise Daly, George Stamper, Black Jean Austin of Boston, are the new addition to the Lincoln players this week. Affable Charles Olden who acquired his dramatic training with the old Lafayette Co. has brought his ability and winning personality to the Alahambra Players. He was recently with the Ida Anderson Co. at the Lincoln Theatre. Rehearsing for Dewey Wineglass' new show are Lottie Hurley, Hortence, Wilhelmina Shucraft. A bevy of pretty girls.

VERSION ANTIC CITY JULY - JINSON LODGE No. 630 E. OF W. July 22, 1928 Station, 8.25 A. M. Sharp THE BOARDWALK CHILDREN (Under 12 Years) $2.00 For Sale at Friday, July 20, 1928 BLAZ Alvin BLAZING THE TRAIL Alvin J. Moses "STARS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT" JAP WASHINGTON, one of the best first basemen since Leroy Grant, Cumberland Posey, hustling manager of the crack Homestead Grays, who appeared here recently in a series with Keenan's Lincoln Giants; Al Moses and Rollo Wilson—known throughout the country for their writings on sport happenings, and Johnny Beckwith, the "Black Babe Ruth," who had pounded out 34 home runs at the time this photo was snapped during the eastern appearance of the "Grays." NEW YORK WILLS BETTER THAN GODFREY HARRY WILLS, once fearsome "Brown Panther" of N'Orleans, sum is accused of being a poorer scrapper than the present-day edition of mammoth George Godfrey, who was given the rawest sort of decision with Johnny Risko of Cleveland. Such experts as Ed. Van Every, Sullivan and Jennings of the Graphic are agreed that Jimmy Dougherty's "Collossus" of fistinia deserves a higher rating than Harry Wills ever did. These gentlemen either refuse to take into consideration the calibre of Wills's early day opponents (mostly veterans but still dreaded); and the "watchful waiting policy" of Mons. Padricio Mulliano, the loquacious Hebrew, that caused the elongated "Bogey Man" of Jack Dempsey's dreams to RUST out instead of following the accepted traditions of the roped arena—WEARING OUT. Godfrey no more resembles to-day the big, smiling, dark-hued gentleman who was fairly annihilated by Jack Renault and made to look like a selling plater by Martin Burke, than Roberto Roberti does Jack Dempsey. He is perhaps the outstanding boxer among the big fellows, but as a fighter possessed with the urge of the killer and the gleam of battle in his eyes, he falls many miles away from the Wills we once knew, and the Dempsey that every school child idolizes. Looking over the list of some of Wills' victims, we come across the name of such formidable warriors as Landford, McVea, Jeanette, Jeff Clarke, Battling Jim Johnson, Fulton, Lester Johnson, Firpo, Madden, Clem Johnson, et al. Rated solely on his battles against the veteran array of supermen, Langford, McVea and Jeanette, Wills must be given the palm over Godfrey. As a callow ring product, green and untutored, the gangling Wills climbed through the hempen strands back in 1916 to do battle with the hardest hitter the ring has ever known. Langford started boxing in 1904, so at that time he was still capable of giving anyone in the world a stiff argument. In a later bout Wills floored the ageing Bostonese nine times (count 'em) before he himself slipped to the rosined ring canvas froom sheer exhaustion in the nineteenth canto. We watched him cave in two of faint-hearted Freddy Fulton's ribs over in Newark ten years ago, when we were quite young, and, contrary to all opinion, Harry did not hold and hit that night, and Messrs. Kearns and Dempsey, who viewed the entire proceedings from a ringside seat, struck him off their calling list for all time. They claimed that Fulton was yellow, a faker, and what not. But in all fairness to him, he ruined Sam Langford's sight with that rasping left hand of his, and stopped John Lester Johnson in seven rounds when Lester was good. That 16-second knockout of Fulton's at Dempsey's hand was explained as a cross, Fulton avowing that the Manassa mamuler hit him a short hook while breaking when he was appealing to the referee at the time. Godfrey, potentially, has it in him to become the best heavyweight since Jack Johnson, but it is ridiculous to account him a better fighter than the Harry Wills of 1917 and thereabouts. CLYDE EDMONSON RETURNS TO WARS The presence in this city of Clyde Edmonson of Indiana recalls to mind one of the gamest exhibitions it has been our pleasure to witness in more than a decade of fight reporting. Edmonson, a natural welter, was boxing a powerfully set up Italian youth over at the old Commonwealth Sporting Club during Jess McMahon's regime, who outweighed him easily ten pounds. Along about the third round Clyde received a nasty cut over the left eye that to all appearances rendered him "hors du combat." The wound bled furiously until the Indiana fighter resembled an Indian warrior who had just returned from a scalp-hunting expedition literally drenched with the life blood of his hapless victims. Like a bucking cayuse before a storm, Edmonson plunged on into the fray—eternally on—amid the thunderous applause of the excietment-crazed fans. Vainly the referee pleaded with him to stop—but the lion-hearted colored gamecock brushed him aside and, wiping away the blood that obscured his sight, coolly measured his man with a right cross that rocked him from stern to forecastle. Edmonson confided to the writer, after the hectic mill, that he would rather have died in that ring than to have quit under fire. Fighters with such sublime courage are rare in the aggregate, and Harlemites are glad to welcome Clyde Edmonson into their midst—a boy who fears no one in the racket, and merely asks for a square deal from the promoters and the powers that be. NAMED AFTER DOUGHTY WARRIOR Billy Duffy, owner of the famous Slipper Club and a galaxy of ring stars, has a new one under his wing. Young Joe Jeanette is his name, and according to Bill and boxers who have worked with him, he shapes up like the next world's heavyweight champion, if the bars are ever let down for a second. Jeanette is one of the most beautifully shaped athletes in the land, and, were he not a boxer, might easily gain employment even as John Lester Johnson did, as a sculptor's model. Duffy plans to send Jeanette after the third rate heavies for the nonce, rating him along gradually until he is ready for big fry. BOBBY WILLIAMS TRADED TO CLEVELAND The best colored shortstop in the world,—was what they called diminutive Bobby Williams when he played with Andrew (Rube) Foster's celebrated Chicago American Giants of six years ago. Bobby is not much larger than Sparky Adams, second-sacker of the Pittsburgh team of the National League. The Cleveland club of the National Negro League has acquired his services, and Bobby claims that he will field rings around the other shortfielders, though in most cases he is ten years the senior of the oldest man at his position. WEST INDIAN CRICKET TEAM UNBEATEN Despite the fact that each week finds some announcement from resident West Indian teams that they will be the ones to lick the invaders, the crack visitors still trample all opposition underfoot. Wesley Richards, prominent realtor, who plays with his outfit, confided to us that his team will surely turn the trick next Sunday. Well, Wesley, we will be there to witness the fray, and trust that Sir Harry Glouster Armstrong, British Consul, will offer another silver loving cup to be contested for. Have We a Helen Wills? Tennis devotees who witnessed the Tidewater tournament at Norfolk, Va., are loud in their praises over the great form exhibited by Miss Eunice H. Brown. She was crowned women's singles champion for the second time, and, like Helen Wills, effects a poker-faced expression during the heat of competition. EYRE SAITCH IN FORM Eyre Saitch, former national singles tennis champion, is fast rounding into form for that inevitable struggle with Ted Thompson, present incumbent. Saitch defeated Reggy Weir in straight sets to win the New England tourney, 6-4, 6-2. For a while during that tourney Saitch failed to live up to his great reputation by dropping a set (6-2) to Howard Brown, an obscure Boston youth. The battle between Thompson and Saith ought to result in one of the prettiest driving match races players have ever staged. NINTH INNING RALLY GIVES LINCOLN GIANTS SERIES WITH ST. LOUIS A ninth inning rally won the second game of a double-header for the Lincoln Giants against the St. Louis Giants at Catholic Protectory Oval Sunday, July 15. The final score was 6-5. In the first game the visitors barely escaped a shutout, the final score being 14-1. A home run by Blackwell, with two men on bases, and singles by Clark. Newman and Gatewood gave the visitors four runs—a two-run lead in the fifth inning of the second game. The Lincolnns began an uphill climb in their half of the fifth and, despite the pitching of Gatewood and Augustus, who succeeded him in the seventh inning, they were able to tie the score with runs in the seventh and eighth innings. In the last inning Riggins led off with a single. Rojo singled, then an error by Clark on Spearman's hot liner gave the local team the winning run. A large crowd was on hand to witness the games.

Page Eleven THE GANS-NELSON FIGHT Fight fans have a splendid opportunity to see the immortal Joe Gans, greatest of lightweight champions, defending his title against the "Durable Dane", Battling Nelson, in motion pictures Contrary to some sport writers, at the Lafayette Theatre this week. Gans, in his first two fights with Nelson, was the defending champion and not the challenger. Only in the third and last fight was the great Baltimore Boy the challenger. But this has nothing to do with the moving picture or film story of his great and glorious defence of his crown now being shown at the popular old Seventh Avenue Theatre. While the "Old Master", as "Tad" a famous sport writer of the Hearst Publications named Baltimore Joe, was not at his best in his battle with the sturdy white youth, he gave a wonderful demonstration of the manly art of self defense. Joe was on the down grade due to riotous living and was in the second stages of consumption. Then, to make matters worse, knowing of the colored boy's ill health, Nolan, Nelson's manager, insisted on Gans weighing in at 133 pounds with fighting togs on. This called for an eleventh hour weight reducing ordeal and Gans entered the ring in a terrebly weakened condition. For the first few rounds Gans tried desperately for a quick knockout, realizing his condition. Failing in this, after the seventh round he resorted to ring craft to weaken the white boy. The fight was to be to a finish and Gans fully realized, as did Nelson, that the longer the fight lasts, the worse his chances of retaining his honors. Then he craftily slipped Nelsn's leads, stepping away from the Battler's savage rushes and letting Nelson waste his strenght punching the atmosphere. In this way Joe conserved much of his waning strength and hoped to weaken the Battler for a knockout after twenty or twenty five rounds of fighting. But is was all in vain. Nelson was as strong as a lion, stronger than Joe after the thirtiest round and things looked bad for the tired champion. Then came the foul and the referee's decision, "Gans still champion", with the Battler disqualified for hitting the colored boy in the groin. Gans had been fighting nearly 18 years when he met Nelson the first time. He died a few years later, beloved by an appreciative sport world, but penniless, a broken hearted victim of the "White Plague" NATIONAL LEAGUE Kansas City at Detroit, July 21, 22. 23. 24. five games.

Mgr. PHILADELPHIA Breezing Along With Coolbreeze the management, I saw the one and only one of '28. I had heard so many compliments a result had built up such a marvelous that I feared seeing it lest my picture be to expect disappointment, however, for the imaginary one. The entire perig, and pleasing. The orchestra under the boss, would make the most old-fashioned music is composed of pretty girls of many and who work with a feeling. The dancing comedy seems ordinary. The parody on the sense of the word. It not only offers off; but it encourages a keener appreciation. AND so — as guest of the management, I saw the one and only musical revue, Blackbirds of '28. I had heard so many complimentary remarks about it, and as a result had built up such a marvelous mental picture of the show that I feared seeing it lest my picture be torn down. I had reason to expect disappointment, however, for my realistic picture surpassed the imaginary one. The entire performance is smooth, interesting, and pleasing. The orchestra under the able direction of Mr. Allie Ross, would make the most old-fashioned baptist shake a leg. The chorus is composed of pretty girls of many types who are well-trained and who work with a feeling. The dancing throughout is superfine. The comedy seems ordinary. The parody on Porgy is marvelous, in the true sense of the word. It not only offers an artistic picture within itself; but it encourages a keener appreciation for the true play. * * * "Leaves of Tobacco" BUSTLE, bustle, bustle!

Will you --- Miss Adelaide Hall may well be called "the personality girl". Each second with her is a joy. Miss Aida Ward is most appealing as the "Memory of 1927". Mr. "Snakehips' Earl Tucker cures all those suffering from low blood pressure. The clever Wilton Crawley plays the clarinet in more different ways and angles than you can imagine. I wonder why he uses cork. I feel sure that his few minutes would win as much applause without it. At any rate he is a treat. Of course, "Bogangles" stops the program. If it, is possible for a person's feet to possess brains, the feet of "Bogangles" have ten. For originality, skill, and pleasantness, Mr. Robinson is without competition. Since the time of "Shuffle Along", audiences have enjoyed comparing it with each colored musical production offered. No matter how clever the dancing maybe the music "never touches that of Shuffle Along"; or if the comedy is witty, the chorus girls" never touch those of Shuffle Along". I fear that Shuffle Along has grown from a reality to the imaginary model of the one perfect Colored Show. Since the ideal is so high, perhaps no offering will ever reach the perfection of Shuffle Along. However, if it be possible to approach it, Blackbirds of 1928 has made the grade. * * * Had the pleasure of witnessing Negro Press Hour. I heard with much interest the aims, and the platforms of the influential newspapers of Harlem. I was overjoyed in hearing them express the desire to publish that information that would otherwise go unpublished, the news that would prove most inspiring, et cetera. I did not hear any one set forth a detrimental purpose. If the Negro papers of Philadelphia were to consider their platforms seriously, I wonder what they would outline. I fear that the main excuse for publication would be for scandal. The Quaker STEWART'S HOTEL Catherine St. at 16th NOT THE MOST PRETENTIOUS BUT OH, SO HOMELIKE!

CASSELLE MORTICIAN Courteous Considerate Service 913-15-17 South 17th St. Philadelphia, Pa. City papers seem to enjoy publishing anything that may serve to question a person's reputation. To seek "dirt" is the idea. To print personal grievances seems to be the aim. As a Philadelphia, I am ashamed. Good will, true service, helpful criticism are lacking. May pettiness pass into oblivion and a constructive program be adopted. I am so glad that Philadelphiaans are taking the education of themselves more seriously. The enrollment of the summer schools is larger than ever. Many of the elementary teachers are attending Temple University. Others are continuing their interests at the University of Pennsylvania. Misses Alice Banton, Clarice Brooks and Martha Bascom are among us for this reason. CHAMBERBURG NEWS, from WILLIAM BILL BROWN. Pauline Anderson spent a few days in Philadelphia last week visiting friends. She says she is just wild about Phillie, or is it some one who is there? Slim Thornton and his "Gang" played for the "Ofays" the other night and they say the "Gang" is too bad with their music. "Leaves of Tobacco" From Bull Durham Ruth Gwendolyn Smith announcing BUSTLE, bustle, bustle! The campus is all agog! Just two more days and everything will be at a dead stand still and deserted looking—sort of graveyard like, you know. The students and faculty will be reluctantly departing with fond memories of a pleasant and profitable summer session spent at North Carolina College. This state institution, which by the way is the only college in the South for our group devoted entirely to a liberal arts education, owes its miraculous and envious growth and success to the steady and persistent concentrated and consecrated efforts of our highly esteemed and eminently efficient president—our own Dr. James E. Shepard, dreamer and doer, now of unusual broad vision, dauntless courage and unselfish purpose. Dr. Shepard has been very fortunate in selecting a highly efficient, sympathetic and cooperative faculty for the summer session. Let me tell you about some of them. Will you? Thanks. From Atlanta comes Alice Rucker, the daughter of the late Henry Rucker, prominent race leader and former influential political power. Alice, a very charming refined and enteresting personality has her M. A. from Columbia. She has also studied at the University of Leipzig, Germany and has travelled extensively throughout Europe. Before coming here she was Professor of German at Atlanta University. Alice likes music — real high class music, is a dainty miss and a A. K. A. Next we have Martha Harris Winston from Washington. Martha instructor at the Garrison Demonstration School is considered an eminent authority on primary education and is rated as being eminently superior in her teaching. Excellent isn't it? She is a very happy and jolly body. Martha loves to sing and play the piano and keeps us all in a cheerful and happy mood. Martha is well read, well informed and yet with all her brains she isn't the least bit top heavy or overbearing. You would like her lots. I know. * * * John Posey of "Posey's Lunch Room" looks rather prosperous here of late, and how! It seems awfully funny that Mr. Lee Tyalor of "Our Barber Shop" should close the shop so soon on Saturday nights. And I say, Old Dear, Your Train doesn't go up the road till 12:40. Now, pray, tell us, were you rushed during the early evening? I ask you, is that nice? And you think our Giants can't play ball. Even if they were defeated by the "Boys" from Mercersburg, they were trying hard all the time, but P. Watson, who was hooking them over the pan for the "Boys", had every thing his way, and our "Giants" went down to defeat by the score of 15 to 2. The trip to Martinsburgh was a flop but the Giants say they had a grand time even if it did rain the game out, and as for the "Feed" just ask one of the Giants about the "Browns" that did the serving. Oh how it did Rain, remindes one of Eddie Leonard's old favorite song, we sure had a gang of it. Well, here's one on "Bill Brown" himself, right after his "Mrs" had taken the 11:10 train, he was on the "Bottom" whistling "My Wife Has Gone To The Country". Now, was that nice, I ask you? A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind, and her ear will hear the lowest sound. Maynette Anderson, we see that you have your eyes on your "Daddy" here of late, and how! Don't forget to order your "TATTLER" from William "Bill" Brown, 266 South Water Street. From Bull Durham campus is all agog! Just two more that a dead stand still and deserted you know.

Then there is our own Alyss Mae Hershaw, the vivacious daughter of Lafayette H. Hershaw, prominent Washington Law examiner. Alyss Mae is a gold brick, 14 karat and gauranteed not to rust. I am quite jealous of her (but please don't tell her) because due to her contagious Pollyanna sun shine personality she has eclipsed me and supplanted me from the role of being a dispenser of sunshine, joy and happiness. Well anyway, I'll forgive her but never forget it. Al is socially prominent in the East and West and many of her intimate buddies are the social dictators of their exclusive realms. No joking but Al is the cleverest and most witty individual on the campus and always keeps the crowd in an uproar with her keen witticism, sparkling repartee and clever jokes She entertains us from dawn until dusk and already has won her place in our hearts. Al teaches during the week in Atlantic City and spends her week-ends visiting her coterie of friends in and around New York and Philly. Al has her own philosophy of life, you might know, and is an epicurean to her *** *** *** * * * * * * * * * finger tips. When it comes to teaching she knows her subject and her methods, too, I declare. At this writing she is now upstairs trilling away on high C the air from the popular 'Laugh Clown Laugh" and I only wish you could tune in and hear it. Really I do. *** Then there is Estella Walker, winsome and winning. Stella has a striking personality and is a very efficient teacher of English from way out West, — Indianapolis, I obelieve. She is quite a tennis enthusiast and plays bridge, five hundred and poker to perfection. Don't you, Stel? * * * Next comes Pauline Newton, dignified, clever and refined. Pauline is a very interesting person to know. She lives in New Jersey and has a M. A. from Columbia. English is her fort and she is a wizard at it or rather I should say she is preeminently efficient in the field of English grammar and literature. Better isn't it? This young lady loves and lives her literature. She's very fond of music and poetry and is well read and well informed. She is so interesting and illuminating that everyone is glad to have her around. * * * Then there is Miss Alexander, who comes from the blue grass section—Louisville, Ky. Miss Alexander is one of the most outstanding teachers in her section and is highly efficient in her field—elementary art work, which includes drawing and writing. She is a charming personality, sweet disposition, full of dignity and yet decidedly human. * * * Next comes Clayda Williams, physical director of Armstrong High, Washington. Clayda is a graduate of the famous Sargent School of Physical Culture in Boston and comes to us with many years of interesting experience and training. She is quite a tennis enthusiast, in fact Helen Wills is second, and also may be classed as a card player par excellent. Am I not right, Clayda? *** Then there is Ruth Gwendolyn Smith, the non-comparable creature, who considers herself an authority on Romance Languages and Romance as well. Ruth is a graduate of Syracuse University (cum, laude, if you please) and has done considerable graduate work at Syracuse and Columbia universities. She is a member of Lambda Tau Rho Honorary Romance Language Society and is a Delta. She is passionately fond of music and likes literature and travel. Some day she hopes to become a Nomad, a vagabond globe trotter, and in her leisure dabble with the pen and paint brush. With her unusual personality and friendly disposition she is highly entertaining. Aren't you, Ruth? ```markdown ``` And now, dear radio fans, if you don't know these interesting folks I sincerely hope that in the near future you will have the pleasure of meeting them and of judging for yourselves if I have portrayed them as they really deserved to be portrayed. There are some other interesting characters I could mention, but I have mentioned the most outstanding this time. Hoping you have enjoyed these dry leaves of tobacco from Durham and wishing each of you a happy, pleasant and profitable midsummer. Station N. C. C. is now signing off. Will be on the air later (maybe). Please stand by. My Dear Mademoiselle: I am now enjoying the third week of my vacation period in your beautiful city, and everything is so quiet and peaceful in New Haven that I am inclined to believe it is the ideal vacation city. Not long ago I was strolling up and down the main street of your community, and my companion, who happens to be a Uew Havenite. THE INTERSTATE TATTLER spied you at a distance and took advantage of that opportunity to point you out to me. I was very much impressed, for previous to that time I had seen but four human beings during my two weeks in the Elm City. I believe it is my privilege, and I am almost sure you will favor me, by answering the following questions: Why do the girls residing in New Haven act so bilspectic? Must they all be in bed at 6.30 p.m.? When, if ever, does anything exciting take place in the Elm city? Your job, securing news for the Tattler, is the hardest job in the world, and you have the sympathy of your unknown friend. PIERRE ZABET.

By Julia Goens WELL, we had another wedding of interest to Atlantic City last week when Miss Grace Hamilton became the bride of Albert Norris Mantley. Grace is one of our teachers and Norris in our postal service. Both are grads of Atlantic High and are popular in the social circles of the city. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents at high noon Saturday with Rev. William B. Perry of Ashbury Church officiating and only the immediate family present. Miss D. Ameita Hamilton, her sister, was the maid of honor and Rayerman Queen, best man. Mr. and Mrs. Mantley left on their honeymoon directly after the wedding. The Amity Social Club chose Friday the 13th for their annual summer dance and they had the Ten Arcadians to chose away all superstitious thoughts. Everyone had a most delightful time.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Clark, and Mr. and Mrs. James Strange of New York included us in their motor tour. They have been through the southlands and on the way home gave Atlantic City a visit. Although their stay was short, I think a lot was crowded into that time. One evening they were entertained by Mrs. Sara Washington Lewis in her beautiful home. A jolly lunch was there and so they spent a merry evening with Grace Clark, Elmont Young, Carroll Tate, Dick Allen, Dave Asbury, Elizabeth Brown of Phila., Leona Hale of W.

The South side is receiving many good offerings this week. There is not any reason why every one should not be entertained as the various theatres are located so convenient and the prices are certainly reasonable enough for the high class entertainment offered. So take advantage of these conditions and attend the theatre this week. * * * This week's stage production at the Regal is "The Enchanted Garden" which is a series of surprises according to Fess Williams known as the popular "King of Syncopation". It is announced as a "flowery fantasy or fun," blooming with steps, songs and color, showing Fess and his Joy Boys at their best and supported by a splendid cast of favorites, of which of course, Marshall "Garbage" Rodgers is heard "talkin' to yer" in a new side splitting laugh skit. Petite Albertine Pickens who was very much missed last week, will present Johnson and Baker in a novelty offering registers a high mark in applause at the Regal. The Dainty Dancing Regalettes are augmented for the occasion. The Regal's popular screen favorite. Milton Sills is seen in his newest photo play, "The Hawk's Nest", with Doris Kenyon co-starring. It reveals the treachery, hate, justice and even the love of his adventurous life. Underworld stories today are in popular demand, and many of them have been made by the producers, but "The Hawk Nest" is different. It tears the mask off all the underworld, revealing its gyp joints, its gangsters and its secrets. Its plot concerns the desperate fight between two powerful gang leaders for the love of a cabaret dancing girl. Sammy Williams at the grand organ plays the popular numbers requested by the members of his organ club in his own inimitable way. while Dave Peyton and his symphonic orchestra Famous Beauty Treatment Lightens Dark Complexions Quickly It is simply amazing the way this marvelous beauty preparation makes even the darkest skin lighter, clearer and free from blemishes. THE INTERSTATE TAPER renders another of his classical overtures. Pictures and music of high calibre again feature a carefully selected program at the Metropolitan Theatre this week, Florence Vidor in "The Magnificent Flirt" the Sunday feature present the fascinating actress in a very pleasing French farce. On Monday and Tuesday "The Yellow Lily" is the screen attraction featuring Billie Dove, the queen of feminine loveliness in one of the smartest romances ever filmed and one of the season's biggest hits. "Stormy Waters" booked for Wednesday and Thursday is the story of a woman without a soul, a powerful drama of the feuds of men. This picture is suggested by the story "Yellow Handkerchief", by Jack London. Friday and Saturday's double feature program offers "A Thief in The Dark", a drama of crooks and fake spiritualism, and Sue Carrol in "Walking Back". Special musical program by Erskine Tate and his celebrated orchestra of 16 master musicians. The Hollis Corporation present popular Billy Higgins and funny Joe Byrd in the great big musical revue, "Rang Tang", at the Willard Theatre this week, with a midnight show on Friday night and a matinee on Sunday, July 23. This attraction has created a sensation at Woods Theatre in the loop where it has proved one of the most successful offerings of the year, and comes to the Willard direct and intact without one single change from its record-breaking run at that theatre. "Rang Tang" surpasses by far any colored production ever offered to the public, and the Chicago critics vied with each other in heaping praise upon Higgins and Byrd, their company and the merits of the play and music. In fact it is considered to be on a more elaborate scale than either Ziegfield's "Follies" or George White's "Scandals". There are twenty-six song and dance numbers. The production consists of thirty scenes and 502 costumes. The books was written by Kaj Gynt, lyrics by Jo Trent and music by Ford Dabney. Mr. Dabney is a celebrated Washingtonian, who for years was musical director for Williams and Walker, and later for Bert Williams. In 1904 he was the court musician to President Alexis of Haiti and after that engagement he composed most of the music for the "Follies" in 1923, 1924 and 1926. ve a etter om- ulous Skin mely beau- After a ful beauty tens as if skcles and il which with this uch amaz- ess.
