No. 40, Friday, Oct. 5, 1928 Get In the $100 Al Smith-for-President-Contest WEAL we say the best interests of the Southern Negro will be served by the success of progressive Democracy, it is not because we have been seduced by the easy promises of its leaders. We hope it is not because we have been enthiltered by the incomparable gentility of the Republican Party in its deluge with the race. Political strategy must not be governed by sentiment. If the race is to make headway against the numerous forces which oppose its progress, its leaders must be motivated solely by cold headed race interest. It must be remembered that all political alliances are governed by expedience. It has been expedient for the Democratic Party in the South to antagonize and oppose the Negro, and it has been expedient for the Republican Party to deter him. The only friend on whose constancy the race can depend is its own pocket book, and the race pocketbook is what we have in mind when we say the best interests of the race will be served by the success of progressive Democracy. For a priori after the Civil War the race possessed no wealth worth speaking of and then it did not matter much how we voted. But now that we have evolved a well-defined and growing property class it matters a great deal how we vote. The future of the race depends on the security and progress of our property-holding minority. This minority, our upper class, is an economic middle class. Its wealth consists of small merchant businesses, small banks and insurance companies, real estate holdings and the incomes of professional men and women. It is not by accident that the corresponding group of white Americans in the North, especially in the East, is overwhelmingly Democratic. Nor is it by accident that colored professional people in the North—doctors, appers, teachers, etc.—incline toward the Democratic Party. It is because the policy of the Democratic Party on such questions as tariff, taxation and the disposition of such natural resources as still remain public property is in harmony with middle-class economic interests, and lately because a feminist note has been sounded by such leaders as Owen D. Young and Gov. Smith. There is an anology between conditions in the Choose wisely Question they between all Smith and thatart theorer. Make for the man who with back firmly upon your condition. Get In the No. 11 Democracy WHEN we say the best interest of the Negro will be served by the progressive Democracy, it is not been reduced by the race problem. We hope it is not because we want by the incomparable partidy of the Negro in its dialogs with the race. Politics not be governed by sentiment. We make headway against the numerous oppose its progress, its leaders more solely by sold-headed race interest, membered that all political alliance by expediency. It has been expected static Party in the South to attack the Negro, and it has been expected Liban Party to betray him. The only consistency the race can depend in book, and the race pocketbook is mind when we say the best interest be served by the success of progress. For a priori after the Civil War we no wealth worth speaking of and matter much how we voted. But it evolved a well-defined and growing it matters a great deal how we vote the race depends on the security and property-holding minority.

Young and G. There is an anology between Charke Riddles Republik can Claims THOMAS M. R. CLARKS, president of the National General Business League, charges that the business recently made public by the R. S. department of finance on internal auditing for Negroes were group out to show the generosity of the Department National Administration to colored people in the matter of appointments to professional offices. "They are intended to convey the impression that the Department Party should be group out for their showing. All of which is entirely wrong for the reason that by far the greater portion of these appointments were appointed during the Department Administration of Woodrow Wilson" printed out Mr. Clarke. It happened to be an extraordinary fact that it was during this war period when this expansion took place. Every department of the United Government was greatly enlarged and many new departments created. More than twenty new war workers known to Washington On the Cover Marie Prade, the hunter lady, a product of old Kentucky and "a type" in the movie world. She now lives in Los Angeles. Mice Jackson, formerly of Boston. Vera Brauchen, a "Shame Real" beauty. East today and conditions in the South tomorrow. Northern factories are moving South, carrying with them their social, industrial and labor problems. These problems will affect us more vitally in the South than they ever have in the North, because the South is where the bulk of our wealth and population are. It is obvious that if the Simmonses, Blesses and Moodys remain in control of the Democratic Party South, the Negro upper class will be cut off from participation in the affairs of the party which is its natural economic ally. It is equally obvious that if Northern Democracy can lead the party to victory in November the Southern reactionaries will be unhorsed and their posts of command assumed by progressive men into whose heads ideas as well as prejudices can enter. The Southern Bourbons are fully aware of the significance of the election. That is why they opposed Gov. Smith's nomination. That is why the bitterest of them, like Senator Simmons, are opposing his election, while others are damning him with faint-hearted support. They know Gov. Smith's election will be the beginning of the end of their domination of the Democratic Party. Surely that is a consummation devoutly to be wished for by all Negroes alert to the interests of their race. With the reactionaries swept aside and men like Stribling, Stallings and Wood encouraged to enter politics as well as cultural pursuits the way will be clear for our upper class to work out a logical alliance with the white middle class, with which it has an affinity of material and spiritual interests. This adjustment of the problems of the Southern Negro is not to be inferred from the pledges of party platforms or the promises of party leaders. Rather, it is to be gleaned from a knowledge of the social forces and trends which form the background of party policies. Northern Democracy is the political expression of the social forces which are moving in the direction of religious and race tolerance, humanist ideals and economic fair play for people of small and moderate means. Those are the social forces which are in line with the interests and aspirations of the Southern Negro. and were employed by the Democratic Administration then in power. It was at this time that the colored force of the employees was more than doubled." Referring to the Labor Department report which shows that the average salary of the 5,182 colored Federal employees receiving $1,500 annually in 1920, Mr. Clarke points out that the statistical bureau of the Department of Labor fixes a living wage at approximately $1,500. In the U. S. Agricultural Department 1986 colored employees receive salaries totalling $907,046, an average of $835. In Herbert Hoover's own Commerce Department 686 are paid $475,020. The average salary is 986. There are 495 Negroes in the Interior Department receiving salaries aggregating $478,940, an average salary of $612 a year. In the State Department 76 are paid $81,549, an average of $1,070. The salary of 500 Negroes in the Treasury Department amounts to $614,494, an average salary of $1,114. There are 25,300 Negroes working in the Post Office Department whose salaries aggregate $46,147,511 a year, an average of $1,284. New Negroes work in the White House. Their combined salaries amount to $424,000. Mr. Clarke takes exception to the comparison made by the Republican Administration in 1910 there were 22,640 in the employ of the U. S. Government, whose annual salaries aggregated 84,740 and that in June of this year there were 61,822 Negroes on these hands pay-roll whose earning capacity was 84,848,138. "The return falls to relate that, while there were 81,000 Federal employees in the city of Washington there were less than 81,000 men and women of criminal status within the nine Depart- ments of the Federal Government, exclusive of the Washington Post Office which is local," Mr. Clarke sets forth. "Colored employees of the Civil Service have been appointed to positions as a result of competitive examinations before the installation of the photograph system of identification. These people won their appointments through no political favor, but because they met the requirements of the Civil Service law. "Since the installation of the photograph system of identification no colored clerical eligible has been appointed within the last two years, although many were on the eligible list." --- Jersey City, Oct. 3.—More than five hundred persons attended the Democratic meeting recently held here under the auspices of th Hudson County Democratic Association. The large and enthusiastic gathering reflected the Smith sentiment that exists throughout the State. Nearly every county was represented. Among the speakers were Mayor Hague, Mrs. Bessye J. Bearden of New York, and Ralph E. Hizelle, Regional Director of the Eastern Division. Gilbert F. Brown, President of the League, presided. 4 Letter for Smith Editor of the Interstate Tattler, Dear Sir: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal; now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great THE TATTLER believes Al Smith's election to the Presidency would be a good thing for the general welfare of the country and the special interests of the Negro. The Tattler is supporting him to the limit. Furthermore we believe that any fellow Negro who will give Goy. Smith's record an impartial and unprejudiced study will come around to our point of view. We are so firmly convinced that Goy. Smith's election would accelerate the material and spiritual progress of the race that we are working it worth while for readers of this paper to study the record as a member of the legislature and as Governor of the state.

We have come to dedicate a portion of that land as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. But—in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave living and dead, who fought here, has consecrated it far beyond our rpower to add or detract." Just a few decades back, the voice of the great Emancipator was heard delivering his great Eulogy at the dedication services at Gettysburg. The text of his noble speech, just about summarize the cause and the effects of the great conflict of 1863. History repeats itself. During that period in history, we find the solid South fighting the equality and freedom, the North considered universal. In fact you will recall it was one of the South's own children that said: "Give me liberty or give me death". But at the same time if you observe carefully you'll note that he was speaking singularly not collectively because sprinkled amongst his fellowmen were the Etheopians, who, although being the same mortal man as he, were being coerced and subjugated against their will, to do another bidding. At the end of the civil war we find that a group of so-called patriots have organized a society to defeat the laws of the constitution. Americans fighting to destroy something they had originated and established. Did they succeed—no, they met their waterloo. Now exactly ten years after signing the armistice we have nominated for president on the Democratic ticket, Alfred E. Smith, an American Catholic, who has performed his duties untriggly, conscientiously and intelligently during the eight years of his administrative power over New York State, the Empire State of America, a young United States within its own border. Incidently we find that same body of bigots, whose ancestors had preached their false doctrines of Christianity and Americanism fighting to deny this man the greatest honor that could be granted an American anywhere. The presidency of his own country. An honor that every American boy sometime in his childhood has longed for. It is a shame the facile way in which they psychologize the average Negro man to see things in their Right. Should Mr. Smith be elected he certainly couldn't do any worse than his predecessors have done and God knows they haven't perform dacts of gigantic proportions. It is about time that the Negro should wake up. Unless they consolidate their votes which in time will become a determining factor, it will always be the same, the situation will remain unaltered. The bosses' slogan will be "Take it or leave it". Your opinion might differ from mine but then you cannot deny the facts that stand out. Like a beacon light in the night. You're sincerely, FRED M. LAYNE. New Year Social Snapshots Geraklyn Diamond THE W. K. Osnny Club turned out Friday evening at the newly decorated New Stars Casino.

Tratling the Spotlight The Hard-Boiled Age Wrsreven else may be sald of the theatre-going public of Hariem, it cannot be sald that it jacks sophistication. This ls especially true of the so-called younger generation. On second thought | strike out the “so-called.” it seems that everybody under forty years old knows everything there is to be known about pornography and other kinds of smut. Gometimes, observ- Ing an audience, | have seen old fonts and middle-aged women whose expreasions showed they did not quite get some of the fast ones pulled by the comedians. But | have yet to see an adolescent boy or girl, or even an apparently ten-year-old child, who could not catch the hottest kind of wheeze right off the bat. 1 say an “apparently ten-year-old” child because appearances these days are deceiving. It Is impossible to judge the Intelll- gence of a child from ite size. All of them seem to be born with thirty years of smutty knowledge packed in thelr heads.

The cynical wise-cracks and ribald laughter reminds one of Pepy's desorip- tlon of the court of Charles JI. When a picture shows a herdened criminal being persuaded to quit his life of crime by the holy sound of church bells or a vivid memory of his gray-haired mother, the screne is greeted with derisive jaughter and vociferous shouts of “Boloney.” When the dashing hero on the ecreen tells the beautiful heroine she ie the only girl he has ever loved, the scene provokes a grand chorus of “Banana oll.” Jn ghort, tenderness, affection and senti- ment of every variety is quickly and cynically Iabeled “Hokum” while scenes of passion and wantonness are reveled In with a noisy sucking of tongues, But that Is not the limit.

Last Friday night over WABC we presented another excellent program. The Inter-State Tattler furnished only the musical and monologue end of the entertainment, having nothing whatsoever to do with the political speeches in behalf of Mr. Hoover. Despite the fact that four corking good entertainers were not able to appear, the program as presented was one of the best since the introduction of the Negro Achievement Hour almost a year ago. The artists unable to appear were Clint and Marie, Sterling Grant and Ernest Whitman. They have promised to entertain at the first available opportunity open to them on the Tattler Hour. The following entertainers took part in the program; Della Sutton and her "Melody Maids Orchestra," featuring Miss Sutton in an instrumental number; Henrietta Lovelace, soprano songbird from "Show Boat"; the "Four Creole Maids" from Earl Dancer's "Deep Harlem"; Cornellia Dickerson, soprano singer from the Amsterdam News, accompanied by Prof. Leon Adger, noted composer; Mercedes Gilbert, monologuist; Lorense McLane, comedian; William Elkins, soloist; Marde Brown, second tenor from "Show Boat"; Q.

Drake Takes House John Drake of the famous Drake and Walker combination has taken over the Apollo Theatre at 125th Stret between seventh and Eighth Avenues which will be known as Drake & Walker's Theatre. The opening is set for Monday, October 8th when the popular Drake and Walker Players will be the big attraction. John Drake and his entertainers have been highly successful for many years and there is no doubt that they will be greeted royally on their initial appearance here under their own roof. If for no other reason, racial pride should put this daring venture across. If somebody had intimated five years ago that a Negro producer would open and operate a theatre in 125th Street that person would have been looked upon as a fit subject for some crazy house. But the thing had to be done sooner or later and John Drake has had the courage to attempt it. According to information given a Tattler representative, Drake and Walker have taken a long lease on the Apollo with an option of buying. And it's our sincere belief that that is what they will eventually do. And there'x no reason why they should not successfully put the deal across. Drake has an established reputation, has handled a number of houses and having played Harlem for many theatrical seasons (including Hertig & Seamon'x), has a fertile field of operations. In addition to all that, he has a wonderful band and invariably presents corking good entertainment. The image provided is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text or content.

The occasion was the doorstep of the Federal Courthouse where Kenesaw Mountain Landis, now supreme ruler of baseball, adjuged him an outlaw along with Cicotte, Happy Felsh, Buck Weaver, Swede Risberg, et al. Friday, October 5, 1928 Bronze "HOW fleeting is fame,"— "Shoeless" Joe Jackson Speaker, the three greatest occasion was the doorstep of Kenesaw Mountain Landis, ball, adjuged him an outlaw Felsh, Buck Weaver, Swede YESTERDAY,—the oracle of all hopes and dreams, leaves us many tragic pictures of champions and near champions in sports, theatre who for one reason or another failed to make the grade in their chosen vocation. Leo Johnson, a master boxer whom such an expert as Abe Attell predicted would some day be champion; never quite reached the top though he defeated two wonder boxers in the person of Johnny Dundee, and K. O. Chaney of Baltimore. Dundee, who boxed Benny leonard eight times, could never understand that one round knockout, the Hebrew wizard handed Leo that sent Harlem into fistic bankruptcy. Why 'Little Chocolate', figured to stay the distance with anyone that ever drew on a glove, drawled the fiery Italian, to your correspondent, in a fanning bee some years ago, and his K. O. reminds me of my unfortunate affair with Willie Jackson that ended so suddenly." In the dressing room that night, big hearted Paddy Mullins and Leo were the most dejected figures imaginable. The beaten boxer realized that on the following day he would be called upon to show a rarer brand of courage than that which impelled him to face the iron fists of the best lightweight since the halcyon greatness of Joe Gans. His friends who had plunged heavily on a victory, would unquestionable revile him in defeat, and turn away from him as is customary for the rabble. He would be required to maintain a cool head under the cutting taunts of 'Quitter,'—you big bum youre as yellow as they make e'm, and other such diathemic utterances that no real red-blooded warrior such as he was, would be inclined to take. Great Battles With Barton FIGHT lovers will never forget the hectic scraps engaged in by Wee Wee Barton, and clever little Leo. Writers of the last decade, likened Barton unto Joe Walcott, and Bob Moha the Milwaukee 'Cave man'. Leo and the rough and ready Barton, engaged in two 20 round imbroglio's that southern fans never tire of relating. Outweighed from eight to ten pounds, the dapper little West Indian brought consummate ring cleverness into play to gain the verdict over his American opponent who constantly bored in throughout the frays. Battling Nelson, Ad Wolgast, Stanley Yoakhum, Leach Cross, none of the long line of durable warriors noted for their rawhide toughness, had anything on squat "Wee Wee" Barton. Then there was 'Knubby' Joe Gans, a dark skinned battler who derived his Nom de Plume because of a peculiar sort of injury. An accident caused his hand to be amputated, and thereafter he became one of the most feared fighters in the game. He used that deformed arm of his, like Harry Greb was wont to gouge out an opponent's eye with his thumb. Poor Leo, who is blind now, might well attribute his shiftless condition to his gruelling battles with Knubby Gans, whose stubby arm played havoc with more than one oppopents' eyes—and some are unkind enough to say that this little brownskinned boxing wizard who faced them all, wasn't game. Panama Joe Gans a Wonder ONE of the best body punchers this correspondent has ever known was Panama Joe Gans, known in private life as Cyril Quentin, a native of Joe Walcott's home. The history of the professional ring is not wholly barren of heroism. Here was Gans who spent close to seven years of his early life in a sanatarium in Panama where he emigrated to from Barbadoes. Despite hereditary and physical obstacles, the picturesque Gans at one time was rated the best welterweight in the game, Jack Britton religiously avoiding a meeting with him at any price. Like Jack Blackburn of Horton Law days, was the nearest approach to an "Uncrowned Champion", that we can recall to memory. Speedy of foot, he was a born ring general with the stoical gameness of a Kid Lavigne. With the exception of Mike McTeague and Jock Malone, Gans' terrific body punching rendered practically all of his victims 'hors de combat'. They tell an interesting tale about Harry Greb (may he rest in peace) in connection "Renaissance Open on October 14th --- The famous "Renaissance Big Five", World's Colored basketball champ.ons open their official season Sunday Night, Oct. 14th, at beautiful Renaissance Casino. Bob Douglas, crack mentor of the picturesque All Star outfit who rank second only to the Celtics among teams of National reputation, has booked the Bronx Professionals for the champs opponent. Edgar Mercer, hustling publicity agent has many interesting treats in store for basketball fans during the 1928-9 season, so watch these columns for up to the minute 'Renaissance News'. with this wonderful Colored boy. Slated to box a home favorite in Buffalo, at the last moment the boy ran out of the match. Harry Greb,—famous Pittsburg Windmill and twice conqueror of Gene Tunney, who voluntarily resigned the World's heavyweight boxing championship also appeared on the scene to be introduced to the fans. Gans, promptly whispered to his manager that he would allow the Pittsburgher to come in at catchweights and box him in order not to disappoint the great assemblage. Greb was amazed at the audaciousness of the swarthy Gans, and rejected the offer without much ado. But the fans wanted to see how the 142 pound Gans would fare at the hands of the best rough and tumble fighter the game has known barring possibly Kid Carter, and Mysterious Billy Smith. Though they booed and hissed for fully 5 minutes, Greb nonchalantly climbed through the hempen strands, and would have nothing to do with the cocky Barbadian who feared no living man. To prove that last statement of ours, scan through the record of Gans and pick out the tough spots if you are versient with the subject at hand, and note where on more than one occasion he conceded from fifteen to fifty pounds to good heavies and light heavies though himself a normal welter. Defeated. Cleve Hawkins PRIOR to the entrance of the Walker Bill legalizing voting in this State, Gans would box anyone on earth in the "Sticks", as the outpost of select boxing circles are ily coffers, the dreaded Barbadian By ALVIN J.

This Canadian glove pusher who weighed close to 200 pounds was a second-rate heavy, and only a few months prior to the Gans meeting, went ten no decision rounds with such a noted warrior as Battling Levinsky, claiming the unofficial verdict in the papers the following day. It was purely a case of "Mutt and Jeff"—and poor old "Face"—former trainer of Harry Wills, related the story to us in his own inimitable way a few nights after the brawl. "Why Joe had to leap a foot off the floor to reach that big Chinamans' chin, Al,—but the way he shellacked his body would have made an executioner cry right out loud fashion." The welterweight Gans, conceded burly Cleve a matter of 55 pounds even, and handed him a worst beating in 12 rounds than Levinsky was able to dole out to Battling Jim Johnson That was back in 1918. Two years prior to that when an aenimic lad of 20, Gans defeated tough "Abe The Newsboy" in 25 five rounds of cyclonic milling, in Panama. No wonder Jack Britton, Harry Greb, Mickey Walker. Benny Leonard, Mike Gibbons, Bryant Downey, Tommy Robson, Augie Ratner, and other high class glove weilders of ten years ago, wanted no part of this little fellow who proved the scourge of the middle lightheavies, and heavyweights—though but a natural 142 powder himself. It makes a pretty little story, and in my poor way, somehow I can't appreciate the boxer of today quibbling over a pound or two of fat, when in my memories I recall smiling, gentlemanly,—"PANAMA JOE GANS." McVey's Magnificent Gesture DESPITE all anyone has to say about the fighting ability of Jack McVey, whom the street corner urchins used to call "Cornbread",—this critic rates him a mighty fine fighter. Had it been the good fortune of most of our readers to see him under fire the night he fought Bud Spratly, they might also change their opinion of him. Spratly, trained by Bob Armstrong was a mighty tough obstacle for any youngster to hurdle, and more especially was this true in the case of Jack McVey who had a way of stamping his left foot that was akin to "telegraphing' a punch. Well Bud got his right crosses working on all cyclinders that evening, with the result McVey suffered a broken jaw. A long layoff loomed in the offing,—but not for the ambitious McVey. Inside of three months he came back to fight Benny Ponteau who was going like a house afire at tht time, and then got Spratly into the ring and gave him the hiding of his gay young life. Fellows who wont become discouraged over a little matter like a broken jaw, are about as rare finds as diamnods in Alfalfa fields. Strange thing about this fellow McVey,—he looks like a selling platter against a ham boxer, and a million dollars against champions-for exhibits A. B. and C. we offer his fights against Pete Latzo, Dave Shade, and Allentown Joe Gans. He is the best counter boxer in the ring now that Tunney is out of the racket, and his left hook knows no superior. Trained by the best exponent of the left hook that ever lived in this writer's opinion (Sam McVea) our Jack's pet blow compares rather favorably with that of Eddie McGoorty of Mike Gibbon's heyday. Odell H. Crump, the best colored second in the East with the possible exception of "Face", was largely responsible for the rise of present day stars. Howard Wilson, William ('Bub') Hewlette, Cooley Moore, "Lippy," and Jack Coleman were other crackerjack ring seconds of our group who proved invaluable aids at times to their stout hearted charges. In the case of Crump, he brought out Young Kid Norfolk Nee—Buddy Saunders, Willie Walker, — middleweight champion of the National Guard, Alex (Kid) Gibbons: the "El- Godfrey-Roberti Clash Tonight If Big George Godfrey the 'Collusus of Swat' is up to Snuff tonight, the apple of Humbert J.

This Baby Joe Gans is a shark though folks changing the subject and he has $100,000 salted away—that last remark really 'Gets it" doesn't it? bows" McFadden, of the present era Bertie Littlejohn, McVey Ray, Bennett, and numerous others. Crump has slept peacefully under the sod all these many years,—but his influence upon such boxers as Bobby Risdon, Al Brown, and the like is quite apparent. Sports 'Hall of Fame', is crowded to overflowing with the names of colorful 'Bronzed Warriors', and the past must move over for the upward rush of the stars of the present who, despite the dirty deals handed them by magnates and promoters of the fight racket, Refus to be denied. Today, Kid Chocolate, Wildcat Carter, Al Brown and Tiger Payne appear to be potential champions. They are clamoring at the portals of the fistic elite,—the incumbents of titles must hear the steady tread of our "Bronzed Warriors."

All roads lead to Lincoln. This opening encounter of the two teams brings together a splendid array of football talent. Lincoln is out to prove that she is once more the formidable foe on the gridiron and A & T. to prove that she is worthy of the championship she won last year. Every Lincolnite is preparing to entertain his visitors. Elaborate preparations are being made, such as rooms being repapered, furniture repainted, clothes pressed hair groomed and faces shaved and made bumpless. Truly, a game on the campus causes a revolution in our lives here at L. U. *** Aside from the excitement attending the preparations for our first football game, the campus has assumed its collegiate aspect once again. The lould welcomes signifying the greetings of one "Old Lady" for another have subsided and the underclassmen are diligently "on their stuff," while the worldly Seniors pursue their bumcombe (see Lincoln glossary). Bull sessions and pinochle are again in progress and as usual the boys are running true to form. It has been a source of much mystery just why John Redmond, the handsome Senior Class president, should have in his room a volume entitled "Love Letters for Gentlemen and Ladies." * * * We have quite a celebrity on our campus.

The Lincoln Secretarial School was initiated and built to supply a deeply felt need. There is a considerable army of ambitious Negroes who have hitherto found it impossible or inconvenient to obtain the tuition they sought. The faculty will be headed by the principal, Prof. Gilby Robinson, L.L.B. (London), F. I. P. S., who has had wide experience in the commercial fields of education in this country, Canada and Europe. The school building is fireproofed throughout and has been materially altered and adapted for school purposes. A complete equipment of high school furniture, typewriters, adding machines, dictaphones, mimeographs, filing and indexing systems has been installed to make it one of the city's most modern educational plants. Sociologists, prospective students, parents and other interested visitors are welcome to inspect the facilities and inquire into the curriculum of the school. The management also announces that a descriptive catalogue will be sent on request. Wilberforce University By The I's "Success comes to us because we compel it.

Some well meaning "peenie" in a stabilized state of mental inertia broke our rose-colored glasses. Now we are looking upon the cold hard facts of Calculus, Philosophy, etcetera in unmitigated silence. We don't know how fellow students are fairing in the divers clinics but we aren't doing so well. * * * Due to certain climatical conditions it has been both very windy and chilly, so the fellows and girls have sprung before hand their now autumnal attire —sport knicker suits, trench coats, berets are all the thing from the East. The Westerners have a top coat that won't don't, and the Southern girls are here again beautiful and cold (cold due to weather not inherent proclivities). * * * New Student Social was held in the Beacon Gymnasium.

On a recently regraded field Coach "Randy Taylor is attempting to whip his Smith Bulls into shape for a touch schedule. With the aid of "Dandy" Diamond as assistant coach, Taylor is shaping an eleven from a bunch of yearlings that may by chance turn out to be a mystery team. However, experts believe that his chances are particularly dull this year in the football realm. The problem lies in the fact that there is a lack of end material, no punters, a slow backfield, and a weak line. Knowing that the opening clash is set for next Friday, when they line up for the kick off against N. C. State at Durham, the "Bulls" however are rearing to hoof and horn the eagles into defeat and submission.

Telling them Club Scriblings (Continued from page 7) Speaking of Clubs, the popular Alpha Delta Club, composed of handsome Beau Brummels and pretty damsels assembled after a two ommth's vacation in the blue banquet room of the Height's Tea Room, 53 St. Nicholas Place, to re-open the club activities for the fall season. The Height's Tea Room, Harlem's latest rendezvous, proved a most befitting setting for the Club's initial meeting. Mrs. Nellie Day the charming and vivacious hostess and proprietress of this unique and cozy tea room spared no pains in making the occasion one of the best reunions that has ever been experienced by this club in the history of its exixstence. After a short meeting the members and their friends were ushered into the beautiful and aristocratically decorated dining-room where a delectable as well as attractive menu was served by the charming Hostess. Music, dancing, and cards were the features of the evening! And now as to who's who, in the Club's personnel, Easie Lopez. President; Mo. Conway Gray, Vice President; Chas. J. Hamilton, Vice President; Mrs. Zelma N. Ross, Secretary. The guests of the evening were, Kenneth Perkins, Edward Davis, Mrs. Lillian E. Lewis, William Smith, charming Lucy Henry who hails from the Quaker Village, and last but not least the clever modiste Peggy Van Kirk who also is a product of the Quaker City, and who will shortly open an exclusive shop in Harlem where one can get the latest creation direct from 5th Avenue, and Paris at a moderate cost. * * * The Fishers Island Club located in Long Island Sound held a reception and dance as the climax to the summer season. Quite a number of out of town guests were present to help make the occasion a memorable one. Each year the Club gives employment to a large number of students from the various colored colleges and universities of the United States. This season was an enjoyable one. Among those employed were Mr. Charles Brown, a student of Columbia University, who will be graduating this fall; Mr. K. Baker, who attended New York University, and contemplates going to Pennsylvania University this fall. Quite a few functions were given in honor of the sororities. The biggest of the season functions was in honor of Mr. Norris Benson, head Bellman of the Club. The spacious dance hall situated at the east end of the island, was elaborated decorated by Mr. W. Black of Savannah, Georgia, and everything was in perfect harmony. The staff of the to team without showing them how will not get the desired results.

And believe me t The most eventful social happenin eral of Chicago's most prominent claim "ain't love grand" whether it BIRDS flying South ,tree leaves changing colors, chilly weather, football games, election campaigns. All these things make you realize that Fall is here. And believe me the Fall social season is in full swing. The most eventful social happenings have been the marriage of several of Chicago's most prominent young people. Which makes me exclaim "ain't love grand" whether it be Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. Our own beloved, charming, vivacious scribe "Peggy" Leonia Denison, is now Mrs. William Overbee. Last Saturday about six o'clock at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vincent, 5634 Prairie Avenue, Peggy said "I will". As a bride Peggy looked heavenly. Her court of attendance, led by Elise Evans, were gorgeously arrayed. All of society were present to see Chicago's child of joy led to the altar. The couple received loads of beautiful gifts and were kept busy for hours opening telegrams of good wishes from all parts of the country. Another pretty marriage to take place last Saturday was Miss Faith Jefferson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jefferson, 5026 Calumet Avenue, to Mr. Dewey Jones, city editor of the Chicago Defender. The couple were married by Rev. Harold Kingsley of the Michigan Avenue Congregationalist Church at the church. After the wedding everyone went over to the home of the bride's parents to the reception. The attendents of the bride were beautifully gowned in autumnal colors, they were the Misses Alice Booker, Virgil Mackey, Lottie Turnley, Mytle Weso, and Mrs. William Morrison. The happy married couple are on their honeymoon and will be at home, 5026 Calumet, after October 10. Eddie Morrow, brilliant young sophomore of Yale University, stopped thru Chicago last week for a few days enroute from Seattle, Washington, on his way bacq to school. Eddie is in line for a Phi Beta Kappa Key. He intends to get his P. H. D. then go abroad to do research work. Eddie stopped at the Alpha Fraternity House on Vincennes Avenue while in town. Word comes that the charming Misses Addie McCleary and Marian Shaw are going over big in New York City. They like it very much and claim there is no place like little ole New York already. The town seemed to be filled with doctors during the week. Dr. Cortez A. English and Dr. Eugene E. Alston of Grand Rapids, Michigan, ran into town over the week-end to attend the wedding of their well-known Fraternity brother, Dewey Jones. Dewey Jones, city editor of the Chicago Defender and a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity had his frends far and near to see him step off. The many friends of Fritz Pollard, all American football star, were surprised to see several coal trucks around the city with his name on them. Yes, Fritz is in the coal business in a big way. His coal office is located at 83 East 35th Street, Calumet 2420. Everyone wishes him success. Among the many doctors in town was the one and only LeCount Cook from Washington, D. C. The good Doctor is known all over the country as the prince of good fellows. We are glad to have such a regular fellow in our mudst. Dr. Clarence E. Mansfield of Vincennes Avenue, was seen talking to one of the local football magnets. Doc says he would like to play a few more games before hanging up his togs. Doc. Mansfield at one time played for Brown University. At present he is one of Chicago's successful young physicians. The past week saw many students dropping in on Chicago, enroute to school. Among those who registered with S.

Chicago's South Side has been listening to opera this week, conducted by the Offord's Operatic Group at 4310 Champlain Avenue. "Il Trovatore" was the first offered on Wednesday evening. Mable Lawson Donaldson handles the role of Lenore very well. D. M. Burke was Manrico, whose voice was heard from the prison tower. His voice had a good range and fine quality. Dr. A. J. Offord carried the role of the Opera Jailor. The other scene presented on the following night was from 'Rigolio'.

At the Regaly Theatre this week, Fess Williams in "Doctor Jazz" with Rector and Cooper, Cora Walsh, Frank Milano & Co., the pretty regalettes and our friend "Garbage" stages a fascinating show full of pep, fun and new tunes. Rector and Cooper carries away the house with their clever dancing. On the screen the feature picture is the much talked of "Street Angel" starring Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. This picture is heart touching in its realistic features and the audiences seem to feel very flash upon the screen. Sammy Williams officiates at the Grande Organ in his usual pleasing style. While Dave Peyton conducts the Regal Symphonic Orchestra in a tuneful overtrue as only he can. The Regal with its wonderful stage shows and first run pictures is the entertainment center of the South Side. The Metropolitan Theatre has been featuring "The Midnight Ace", an all colored cast picture of the underworld. This picture is very interesting and the photography is much improved over former all-colored pictures. Although the Metropolitan theatre is installing a vitaphone, they booked Erskine Tate and his celebrated Orchertsa again. And the reception accorded him by the audiences proved Erskine's popularity on the South Side. Harry Brock, "Rags" Cole, Toy Titus and Inez Saunders have been keeping the patrons at the Grand Theatre laughing in the amusing sketch "Chicken Thieves", which is staged by Walter L. Rector. The revue at the New Spuset Cafe is full of ginger and pep. It is very well balanced and is about the best seen in this neck of the woods in many a moon. Those featured are Teddye Peters. Cab Galloway, Mac Alex, Alberta Pryme and the Three Eddies. These stars are supported by ya good?looking, fast-stepping bunch of chorines, among whom are Ora Johnson, Dempsey Woodson, Gussie Williams, Jap Branch, Clara Townsend, Lina Day, Helen Wright, Dela Nusiance and Dorus Simpson. --- * * * \* \* \* * * * * * * * * * \* \* \* Calumet 2424 Drexel 5972 For Advertising and Circulation Call FRANK L.

Mayo has helped make many stars who are at present recording. When Fletcher Henderson was in town Mayo had him record 'Ready for the River' and "Wabbly Walk," which will be released by the Brunswick Company soon. Mayo also had Sammy Stewart record several late hits. * * * The favorite team of Newman and Rodgers are playing up in Michigan this week. Word comes that they stopped the show at Cedar Rapids, the first of the week. *** Information has just come to hand that should prove especially interesting. It has just been learned that the Q. R. S. Company, perhaps the greatest producers of player piano rolls in the world, are making preparations to place a full line of phonograph records by colored artists upon the market. The Q. R. S. Company has been particularly fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Art Satherly to direct the activities of its phonograph record division. Every colored artist of consequence has at some time in his career come in contact with Mr. Satherly, and his friends among the colored people are legion. In a recent interview Mr. Satherly stated that he was sparing no expense to produce the finest type of records possible. Making use of the vast resources behind him, he has gathered together some of the leading colored artists to make records exclusively for Q. R. S. The very best, snappy, peppy ualsdance selections, beautiful vocal selections and powerful and inspiring spirituals will be featured by these artists. The Q. R. S. Company and Mr. Satherly are to be congratulated for their worthy efforts and there is no question but that their offerings will be enthusiastically received.

Mr. Miller has surrounded himself with an abundance of new talent in the ranks. In the new line-up are Teddy Johnson, Wells and Welles, Mudina Brown, Eva Metcalf, Helen Stewart, John Henderson, Charlie Salters and Willie Brown.
