The office also invests the incumbent with dignity and offers an excellent opportunity for public service. We regret to see able men like Mr. Johnson and Rev. Hayes decline the nomination. Their refusal to run leaves the way open for some windbag or shoddy politician to horn in on the candidacy—some fellow whose election the voters of Harlem can advocate only on the grounds of patriotism.

Pierre Du Pont Gives High School to Wilmington Wilmington, Del., Aug. 21th Pierre Du Pont, who is vigorously advocating the election of Alfred E. Smith for President, is known as the colored people's greatest benefactor in Delaware. He has given more than 2,000,000 in the interest of Negro education. Immediately following the World War Mr. Du Pont gave $1,000,000 for the erection of school houses for colored children in the rural districts of the state. Later he rendered a similar service also for white pupils. Due to his generosity there is in course of construction a high school for the race in Wilmington. Together with appointments it will cost nearly $1,500,000. It will be known as the Howard High School and will open in September. Mrs. Du Pont has personally supervised the five-room building to be occupied by the Home Economics Department. She gave as her reason for taking such a personal interest that she wanted it to be fully equipped as she would have it herself in her own home. Most Beautiful Apartments in Harlem for Sale Colored residents of Harlem who for years longed to own outright the better class apartments, need worry over that score any longer.

P. leaders in getting influential Negro organizations to endorse Hoover for President although there have been several ineffectual attempts. At the twenty-ninth annual session of the National Negro Business eLague, held in Harlem Aug. 15, 16 and 17, a determined effort was put forth by Hoover admirers to give the Republican nominee an indirect endorsement. On each occasion this move was blocked in the Committee of Resolutions. There finally appeared in the resolutions adopted casual reference to cooperation given the League by the U. S. Department of Commerce. The National Negro Business League is a business and not a political institution was the consensus of opinion among delegates. At the recent session of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Washington suggestions that an endorsement be given Hoover were unfavorably received. Colored Republicans of New Jersey, meeting in Atlantic City, manifested no enthusiasm for Hoover and Curtis, and declined to endorse the G. O. P. standard bearers. Prominent Men Decline Appointment to Colored G. O. P. Committee Washington, Aug. 21. — So many declinations are being received from prominent Negroes who do not care to serve on the Colored Committee organized under the supervision of the Republican Natl. Committee, that G. O. P. leaders are said to have frankly expressed themselves displeased over a none too roseate situation. William H. Lewis of Boston, who four years ago supported John W. Davis, the Democratic nominee for President, was supposed to have returned to the Republican fold; but according to all reports, he has refused to allign himself with the Hoover forces. Carl Murphy of Baltimore has also "respectfully declined" to go on the Colored Committee, and has so stated in his newspaper. The assertion is made by those sending in declinations that their names were published without sanction. Hence, the storm of protest and unfavorable replies. The Interstate Jattler On the Cover.

First Fraternal Insurance Society Among Negroes in New York City (Organized by Curley) THE Insurance Department of New York has just granted permission to the National Negro Fraternal Association to solicit members desiring life insurance protection up to $1000. There are some very strong organizations of this kind among the other races but this is the first among Negroes in the State. While this type of organization has a fraternal membership, it is not to be confused with the more familiar benevolent societies such as the Elks, Masons, Odd Fellows. The National Negro Fraternal Association issues life protection for $100, $500 and $1,000 on the whole life, 20 payment and 20 year endowment plans. The association operates on the American Experience Table of Mortality at 3 1/2 per cent just like all old line legal reserve life insurance companies and like them is under direct supervision of the Insurance Department of the State. The active management of the association is in the hands of C. Benj. Curley, a trained business man with years of experience in the insurance field, who, incidentally, is the organizer of the association. Mr. Curley was formerly Comptroller of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham and Business Counsel to the Century Life Insurance Company of Little Rock, Ark. Belief in the possibilities of New York carried him back home to pioneer. The effort is essentially a people's organization and is in line with Mr. Curley's campaign for operation on the Cooperative plan. And further, the accumulation of insurance reserves for investment in New York since this is a New York institution makes Mr. Curley's effort a very valuable contribution to the business awakening in Harlem. This effort has been made possible, says Mr. Curley, only through the cooperation of V. Kenneth Duncan Funeral Home, T. B. Dyett, Assistant District Attorney, Dr. A. H. Armstrong, Fays' Dress Shop Offers Astounding Values Smith-For-President Colored League Names Officers The Smith-for-President Colored League, authorized by the National Democratic Committee, has been formed with the following officers: Julian D. Rainey, Mass., Chairman of Organization; Mrs. Bessye J. Bearden, New York. Vice Chairman; Lester A. Walton, New York, Chairman of Publicity; Mrs. Geraldyn Dismond, New York, Vice Chairman; Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, New Jersey, Chairman of Speaker's Bureau; Mrs. Ruth Whitehead Whaley, New York, Vice Chairman; Thomas R. Smith, Maryland. Chairman of Finance; Casper Holstein, New York, Vice Chairman; James A. Ross, New York, Chairman of Registration, Frank W. Reed Oklahoma, Vice Chairman. Prominent Negroes throughout the country will serve on the Advisory Committee of which Ferdinand Q. Morion, New York. is Chairman, and Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, Delaware, is Vice Chairman. The organization has been divided into four Regional Divisions with the Eastern Director to be selected. E. B. Dickerson, Chicago, Ill., is Director of the Middle West Division; Robert J. Nelson, Delaware, Director of Middle Athlantic Division. Dr. William J. Thompkins, Missouri, Director of Central Division. These officers will make up the Personnel of the Executive Committee, the Chairman of which is to be selected. The Smith-forPresident Colored League National Headquarters are at 126 West 46th Street, New York City. Summer Furs SCHLANG My Tailor, Inc.. of 2128-7th Ave.. master tailors, are now exhibiting Summer Furs. Their hired comedian and superidiot now promenades Lenox Avenue attired in a ravishing furccat which he calls Tenth Avenue dog. Mr. De Salvo, president of Schlang My Tailor, Inc., when asked the reason for all this nonsensical ballyhoo replied thus: "I want the folks of Harlem to know my man, my store and myself. We are well known in Brooklyn and want to get well acquainted here. We invite patrons to call on us if only to get acquainted or look over our line. Let the men of Harlem give me a break and I will give them one." Medical Director, Dr. James L. Wilson and Dr. Andrew Maxwell of Patterson. N. J. The association is very fortunate in having the assistance and advice of one of the leading insurance authorities of the country, Professor S. B. Ackerman of New York, an actuary lawyer,/ and author. The office of the association is 203 West 138th Street, New York City. More gratifying and substantial than an hour spent at the beauticians is one passed at the tastefully appointed Fay Dress Shop, located at 2389 Seventh Avenue, where lovely Paris gowns are displayed. In this palace of fashion, courtesy rules as Note: This column is a medium through which persons may be introduced to congenial companions. No names will be published. Letters enclosing a stamp will be forwarded to persons for whom they are intended. The Tattler does not assume responsibility for the good faith of correspondents. Address Jackie Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. "If you had no one near you Who would try to cheer you, You'd be lonesome too." An answer to a letter that we published from a Lonesome Heart in prison did not come. Perhaps no one who is considerate saw it. Here is another from the same house of correction but from a different person. I am hoping that when they both—the writers—come back to society they will meet two lovely mates; then instead of four lonely hearts there will be th same number of happy ones. "Dear Jackie Nobile—I read over your column each and every week in the Tattler and am very interested in your work. I am a young man of 29 and not bad looking. I hope to find a young woman of my age or older that will appreciate a man who intends to go straight. I hope this reaches someone who can understand." * * * Some people, finding themselves alone, shut themselves in, never having the courage to seek companionship and as a result, spend their lives bemoaming their fate. Here is a brave little girl who reaches out as did Prometheus of ancient lore to snatch from the ruthless old world that which is her own: 'I am a well-educated, not unattractive young lady living in a small town and would like to correspond with some young man of culture and refinement. Photos exchanged.' *** Young man, if you are lonesome and have the necessary qualifications, you may find consolation and enjoyment in the benign presence of a little suburban Miss who flashes us this call: "Dear Editor—I am a lonely young girl. Would like to meet a young man between the ages of 25 and 30. Will consider matrimony if he means well and is looking forward to a bright future. He must be good looking and with a nice disposition. Will find same in me. Photos exchanged." --- "I would like to get in communication with the 'Dalnty Miss' who sent in the enclosed request for a gentleman friend last week." Our young man sending the above message doesn't tell us much about the type of girl he would like to contact, but I suppose he desires a young lady that most all worthwhile people admire: neat, lovely of soul, refined and unselfish.

With profound gratitude and heartfelt thanks I desire to express my highest appreciation to those who so kindly assisted with tender words of sympathy, and deeds of comfort to me during my seige of illness. The thoughtfulness of those who filled my sick room with beautiful flowers made me most happy. I am especially grateful to Dr. Louis T. Wright, whose remarkable skill and patience is responsible for my happiness today. And, to the efficient staff of the Edgecombe Sanitarium, to Mrs. Henderson, Misses MacMillan, Magahea and Eaton, the most competent nurses whose care and helpfulness is so greatly appreciated.

Lewis presented the diplomas to the class, with a few well chosen words. A purse was presented to Mrs. Douglas by the class in appreciation of her untiring efforts in preparing them for their chosen work.

By HERBERT (Whitey) WHITE Wednesday, August 15, saw the opening of the Twenty-ninth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League, with headquarters at the Walker Studio. A. Maceo Smith, chairman of the House Committee, was in charge of the registration and housing of the delegates. The sessions were held at Abyssinian Baptist Church and Mother A. M. E. Zion Church. One of the bi-products of the conference was a business exhibit. The Domestic Commerce division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce had an exhibit of sixteen charts and 3,000 pieces of literature, under the supervision of Mr. James A. Jackson, assistant business specialist. The Lefflin Furniture Company of Los Angeles had charts on display and had shipped furniture which unfortunately was delayed on the road. Local businesses had twenty attractive booths. Although, as would be expected of so brilliant a gathering, oratory was in full bloom, but the outstanding speakers of the Conference were the bankers, Anthony Overton of Chicago and John R. Hawkins of Washington, with C. C. Spaulding a close second. Twenty-six states were represented and a membership campaign was proposed to include every business man in America. The drive will take the form of a beauty contest and will be financed by the 107 branches, under the direction of B. M. Roddy of Memphis, vice-president at large. The Convention voted its 30th Annual Meeting to Indianapolis. The following officers and committees were elected: Robert R. Moton, President, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; J. C.

Surely you're not a Rip-Van-Winkle. Nobody sleeps over six hours in Noo Yorke, so wake-up brother, wake-up. * * * TO SLEEP LONGER than six hours in the "Big City" is to miss something. It may be only a little Miss and it may be to miss something big. But don't miss anything for sleep. * * * BUT FEW WASTE MUCH time sleeping these days. "Tis foolish.

"Early To Bed and Early To Rise Makes a Man Healthy, Wealthy and Wise" has to be changed now. * * * IT'S "NEVER TO BED, nap on the fly if you want to be wealthy and Wise".

Who cares when the spark of youth has burned out, How long is life? But let's enjoy life while life is worth while enjoying. * * THERE'S ANOTHER SLOGAN that fits in very nicely with the modern day youth. "Eat, Drink And Be Merry, For ToMorrow You May Die". What's the use of being careful anyway when anything can happen? * * * OH, WE NEARLY FORGOT. We started out to tell you about something of which you no doubt know all about. * * * THIS FRIDAY NITE, week of August 31st, is the big show-down on the SAVOY Bathing Beauty Contest. There's just one more "Elimination", this coming Saturday nite. * * * THEN THE BEAUTIFUL nymphs of old Father Neptune will strut their stuff. Gee and how. Say Boy, you're crazy if you miss this show. * * * FOR SIX WEEKS THE GIRLS have been looking forward to the big finale. Not only the girls, but the boys as well. 象 象 象 DIJER HEAR THAT young sweetback papa crowing about his "Sweet potatie" last Saturday nite? My, how that boy whooped it. * * * AND HE WAS NOT THE ONLY male that came with his war-paint on and his lungs well greased. There was an old coger out several weeks ago that had the heebie-geebies bad. When his momsie waddled out with her 200 pounds of baggage he kept chorlin' "Mah Babee, mah ha-bee, oh boy, ain't she a wow?" And she sure was. * * * WELL, ONCE AGAIN LET US advise you. Don't miss the big finale. The curtain goes up Friday nite, August 31st. at 12, (midnite) sharp, and comes down an hour or so later, after which the girls stick their little knives in the big juice melon.

SANDY BURNS and SAM RUSSELL ae in “PHILLY FOLLIES” Harlem THE LAFAYETTE Theatre this week, has another fine bill, well balanced, with good singing. danc ing and fair comedy.

It is the writer’s candid opinion that this is due to the beautifully stagéd musical numbers and the limited activities of the comedians. The gentlemen under cork had little opportunity to display their ancient wares and vulgarity, at will. “Took Advantage of Me” with Putney, Theresa Mason, Catherine, Margaret and chorus, is certain to please. If the producers will take out that split so badly managed by the chorus, this number will be well nigh perfect. “Laugh, Clown Laugh” featuring Clint, Putney and Catherine is a treat as is the third number, “My Imagination” with Putney, Catherine and chorus again. All three possess that mag- netic and enthrailling force that steals upon and captivates an audience before the latter is aware of the fact. A nifty little dancer of no little promise is Miss Marie Henderson, who. registered well with the audience Monday night. Miss Henderson is the daughter of Rosa and the late Slim Henderson and her work is being watched with considerable interest. * = * & THE LINCOLN and our Jimmy Marshall offer A Night of Pleasure jammed with fine comedy by Bob (Ukelele) Williams as master of Ceremonies.

POLORED THEATRE" 1 4 1 j i ACYL Boy | THE ALHAMBRA celebrates its first birthday with “Annivers- ary Revue”, starring that sterling trio of comedians, John Mason (Bert Williams Jr.),.the inimicable Roscoe Montella, and peppy Dusty Fletcher. Also young Charles Ray, juvenile par excellence, Eloise Bennett, “late star of Lovely Lady” also Denks Thomas and others. The drama “The Tenderloin” with Susie Sutton giving her best performance to date, as a drug ad- dict (mother of beautiful Fannia Laine), who was wronged in the past by Barry Carter (well cast as a fake reformer). George Randall is perfect as the Honky Tonk pror- rietor and Billy Andrews, Ted Blackman and dainty Artie Cain all do well. Susie dies saving her daughter. The drama company has _ im- proved immensely in the last few weeks, an answer to the critics who predicted such disaster with the changed cast. George Randall in particular proved a _ happy choice. Back to the revue:—Dusty and handsome Ted Blackman iry tv “make” Artie Cain, and Roscoe's specialty stops the show. In a cabaret Bloise Bennett sings “Ef- fervescent Lady” and introduces those glorious girls in the mniost beautiful costumes ever shown at the Alhambra. he entire scene, iucluding the quartet and Dusty's impersonation of Drake is a wow.

The indications are, 1 said, that the most effective talkies will be pictures in which pageantry and music are combined. The silent films will carry the body of the story while the big scenes of celebration or whoopee will be synchron- ized with orchestral or vocal music. The jazz Singer is one of the most succesful talkies already filmed and Show Boat is booked for early production, These are straws which show the way the wind is blowing. If singing shows become the vogue in the talkies, as | believe they will, the generally con- ceded singing superiority of Negro actors will doubtless in- fluence producers to back colored shows on Broadway with an eye to future production in the talkies. But not the same kind of colored shows which are now the vogue on Broadway. The first essential of an interesting movie is a closely woven story with steadily mounting suspense. The revue, with its hodge-podge of unrelated “bits” and black- outs, cannot be adapted to talkie production because it lacks continuous interest. Hence, when and if producers begin to stage colored shows with the intention of catching the eye of some movie magnate for a run in the talkies, they will discard the revue and turn toward the musical comedy.. This will require a higher quality of acting and will result in a general elevation of the Negro stage. Since the revue, more than anything else, has retarded the progress of the colored actor, its disappearance will be a Godsend. I, for one, am grateful to Providence for the invention of the talkies. It is hardly necessary to observe that the above remarks are entirely theoretical. But I believe it is a theory that future events will prove to be true. It all goes to show what a complicated institution the theater is. Two years ago if anybody had said that Hollywood would be the means of uplifting the Negro stage, the remark would have been taken for a joke. Still that is just what the talkies, the latest child of Hollywood, promises to do. Surely God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform. Paul Robeson, the Sensation of London M: Dear Mr. Snelson: I have just sent you some clip- pings from London newspapers concerning my husband’s work here. Mr. Robeson has had a sensation- al success here, not only in “Show Boat” at the Drury Lane Theatre, but also in concert. He and Lawrence Brown gave a concert of Negro music at the Drury Lane Theatre on Tuesday afternoon, July 8rd, and packed the vast theatre. The concert was so successful and created such an impression on the critics and the London public, that following the splendid reviews which were print- ed, editorials were written about Mr. Robeson in the leading London dailies. Mr. Robeson and Mr. Brown have sung private musicales for His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, at St. James Palace, for His Majesty, the King of Spain, for the Duke and Duchess of York, for Lord Beaverbrook at his magnificent country seat “Leather- head,” for Baroness Ravensdale, First Colored Theatre in Harlem 58 WEST 135th STREET NOW PLAYING ‘6 ” ‘A NIGHT OF PLEASURE — with — MAE BARNES & LEVINA MACK LEONA WILLIAMS UKULELE BOB WILLIAMS WILLIE JACKSON RACE HORSE WILLIAMS & WALTER BATIE PUGGS HOT SIX 12 — LINCOLN STEPPERS — 12 Mon., Tues., Wed., Aug 20-21-22 | Thur., Fri., Sat., Sun., Aug. 23-26 oe 99 “HALF A BRIDE” DRUMS OF LOVE — with — MARY PHILBIN and ESTHER RALSTON Lionell Barrymore ne eel ene ee eae le NEXT WERK “*LAND OF SYNCOPATION’’ — with — JEROME & HAMILTON "MALINDA & ALBERTA BILLIE MACK I’mForever Changing Sweethearts A Fox Trot Ballad For. piano sheets, vocal orghestration oF a Hot dance arrangement CRAWLEY MUSIC PUB.

Everyone has been most enthusiastic and cordial. I am sailing for New York on the S. S.

Alvin J. Moses. Friday, August 24, 1928 BLAZING THE TRA Alvin J. M The greatest aggregation of amateur basketball players since the passing of such fives as; Loendi, Alpha, St. Christopher, Delaney-Rifles, Howard, Linclon, et al; have come to the fore with a letter in answer to certain pertinent questions advanced by devotees of the indoor sport, that is a classic. These youngsters who handle a basketball like—"Nobody's business", are equally capable of stating their case in a clear concise manner. Fans recall the unpleasant ending of the St. Christopher-Collegians basketball clash near the close of last season. Ugly rumors persisted as to the real upshot of the battle between player and non combatants and this statement to the editor, vindicates them in our mind, and we feel certain that it will set forth their side clearly in the minds of the readers of our columns. The letter composed by Jack Livingstone (the lad who does tricks with a hook) speaks for itself and is signed by the eight members of the club,—we'll print their views verbatim, here goes: Fans, Roteus and Followers of Amateur Basket-Ball. Recalling to your minds that unpleasant night of April 16—when the Original Collegians (N. Y. S. Amateur Champions) opposed Charlie Bradfords Red & Black Machines. This contest ending in a brawl between over enthusiastic spectators and St. Christopher players, with the State Champion on the longer end of a 25-20 tally with but a moment to play. We the undersign players of the Original Collegians think that occurrence has left a undersirable mar on Amateur basketball. We wish to erase this incident from your minds by displaying true sportsmanship throughout the coming season as we have done in the past. New York State Original Collegians: Capt. Sindair Rommey. John Holt, Osbornd Walker. Walter Wright, Jack Livinsgton, Joe Steele, Alfred Lind, Joe Mills. GRIDDERS PREPARE The Southern Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association held its initial meeting for the coming season at 227 West 137th Street, Sunday afternoon. Officers were elected, committess were appointed, and plans were discussed and laid for the coming football season. They plan to promote athletics in New York for Negroes in all its various branches. They will place a professional football team in the field again this year as they have for the past three years. During this time they have played some of the best white teams in the football world. They have been the only Negro team represented in Miller's Professional League. They have had such stars as Costan and Lancaster, two all-Americans of Lincoln. Williams of Howard, Haissberry of Richmond. and a host of others whose names are familiar to the followers of the Negro Collegiate gridiron. --- THE FIGHTING MRS.

She is enjoying the sea breeze at Atlantic City but will soon return bubbling over with suprises. During her absence I shall endeavor to furnish you with bits of news from the City of Brotherly Love. MRS. Anna V. Smith and grandchildren, Yvonne and Edward 3rd, are spending the remainder of the summer at Atlantic City. * * * Mrs. Rose Norwood was among the Quakerits who invaded Baltimore where the National Medical, Dental and Pharmacutical Convention was held. * * * Received a card from Miss Helene Lassiter, the Titian—haired co-ed who is enjoying a stay in the Gotham City. Much power to you, Helene. * * * I am sorry, Readers, but I. Swanee isn't very well these days. She is suffering from a touch of "writer's cramp." Miss Evelyn Weaver spent the week-end in New York City. * * * Miss "Peggy" Wood of Atlantic City spent the week-end with Miss Phyllis Taylor. We enjoyed seeing you, "Peggy" and hope that you will make your visits more often and longer. * * * "Dick", we wonder why you allow a certain young lady to secure an octopus grip on you. Be careful, it may develop into a strangling hold. We didn't think that it was possible. Mr. De Witt Turpo was the guest at the "House of Sutton" last week. De Witt hails from Pittsburgh and was on his way home via Washington, D. C. * * * Charming Miss Julia Morgan is spending two weeks with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Morgan. * * * Water, water every where. Come in with us and take a swim. Swimming, or perhaps I should say wading, is foremost in the athletic field with the girls of "Philly." Among those, whom I have seen, indulging in this delightful pastime were: The Mary Sulton, Evelyn Weaver, Mary Harris, The Kaiser Sisters, Phyllis Taylor, Bonnie Graves, Annabelle Laws, Hillse Pierce and Frances Graves Wright. * * * We find it hard to keep up with Deforest Hawkins. He is certainly a traveling young man. "De" was, of course, on hand in Baltimore for the many festivities. * * * Miss Sylvia Davis has vacated the Keystone State to visit friends in Jersey for two weeks. * * * The mail grows heavy these days.

Mr. Leon Jackson spent the weekend in Ocean City. By the way, Leon, who is known as "Skinny" to his friends, is aspiring to the heights of a member of the clay court. Of course, I hope that he will not become the jester but, perhaps, the king. It is quite unfortunate for us mortals who are forced to remain in the city during the summer months. It will be a glad day when the folks begin to return. --- Miss "Coolbreeze" dropped by to see me. She has just returned from the city of Bright Lights and profusely declared her affection and displayed her love for the town. Anne Howe! * * * "The Mary" had a set out for De Witt Turpo.

Casselle Back Again By the demands of the General Public and my friends, I have moved back to my apartments in my establishment at 913-15-17 S. 17th Street. After living in my private residence in West Philadelphia for one year, I found it impossible for me to be present at all times to meet my clients.

I am now here at all hours of the day and night and the Public can depend upon me to render the same courteous service that I have rendered in the past 24 years. Yours for service, Walter W. H.

Chicago Eubbling Over with Enthusiasm Convention Week Plans Completed WITH the Elks Convention Week at hand, and the plans for entertaining the delegates and visitors completed, the Guard Lodge Entertainment Committee has focused its attention upon some of the big events to be pulled off in Chicago, beginning Monday night. August 27th. One of the most important as well as the most beneficial features of the convention week will be the National Oratorical Contest to be held at the famous Eighth Illinois Regiment Headquarters on 35th Street and Giles Avenue, commonly known as the Eighth Regiment Armory. This feature of the Convention Week will be held v. k. dancing team of Keith Circuit aws to the Brothers and Daughter. under the auspices of the Educational Department of the Grand Lodge, but under the direct supervision of Judge William C. Hueston, Commissioner of Education. This event is well worth attending; it will be both instructive and entertaining. The best oratorical efforts of some of the choice youths of the race will be heard on that night. Another special feature of this convention will be the speculator parade which will eclipse anything ever undertaken in the past and Major R. R. Jackson in charge of this parade is boasting that nothing in the history of Elkdom will equal it within the next twenty-five years. The committee is also arranging for a unique Bathing Beauty Contest at the Metropolitan Theatre, 47th Street and South Parkway, and urge all lodges and temples to enter their most beautiful girl in this contest. Suitable prizes will be awarded the winner. For details communicate with the general secretary, Samuel E. White, 3140 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. One of the things noticable at this time, is that no formidable candidate has been announced to oppose J. Finley Wilson for the office of Grand Exalted Ruler. The Committee has arranged for a Mardi Gras and Carnival throughout the entire week to insure the visitors and friends who are not delegates a good time during their stay in the Windy City.

The band has had the honor and distinction of winning FIRST PRIZE at all the National Conventions of the Order since 1921 excepting 1927 which was won by the Camden Lodge Elk band as the Grand Lodge was guest of the New York Lodges and they could not compete. However, Lt. Frederick W.

The Bands this year are classed from A to B inclusive for the contest which promises to be a very hot contest. The numbers to be played by class "A" bands are two for the first prize namely: Overture: Barber of Seville. March: Fame and Fortune. First Sergeant Gillard Thompson.
