FUNERAL CORTEGE OF THE LATE MAY FANNING WHO DIED LAST WEEK AND WAS LAID TO REST SUNDAY. The popular little chorine who was a member of many night club revues and appeared in a number of Broadway shows, was a victim of the dreaded "White Plague" tuberculosis. She had been ailing for about two years and made the mistake of returning to work prematurely. The strain of dancing and night life told on her several months ago and she had the relapse that ended in her untimely death. The young ladies in the above pictures, who were the flower girls are Elida Webb, Maude Russell, Dora White, Minnie McDowell, Vivian Harris, Amy Bates, Majorie Sipp, Leonia Williams, Ethel Duke, Hy Curtis, Evelyn Sheppard, Assiline Lynch. The pall bearers were Clarence Foster, U. S. Thompson, Clarence Robinson, Howard Elmore and Maurice Dancer. The Passing of Mae Fanning WEDNESDAY afternoon, June 5th, May Fanning passed into the great beyond after a lingering illness of about eighteen months. She was surrounded by a loving mother, a devoted sister, and a group of friends who watched the spirit flit out of all that was mortal of the once beautiful, popular actress and mannekin so dear to the hearts of all who knew her. It had been a long struggle for ner, hoping against ones. Always cheerful and appreciative of kindness, she the hopeless with a desire to live and be with her loved was able to prolong her life by her wonderful spirit and sweet disposition. The funeral was held Sunday, June 9th, at two o'clock at Howell's Undertaking Establishment. Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop officiated. Mr. Hugo Bornn conducting the music, played Chopin's Funeral Dirge softly as the family and friends filed into the chapel. It was a simple service, yet so impressive and distinctive of what May desired. She had requested Clarence Tisdale to sing, and he selected Oley Speak's My Trust Is Staid In Thee, which was sung only as Clarence can sing it to soothe the burdened hearts of the mourners. Gertrude Mars Martin, Violinist, played Schubert's Ave Maria, which was followed by Lead Kindly Light, sung by Josephine Hall as the friends reviewed the remains. The interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery and the grave was a mound of beautiful flowers which showed the esteem in which the deceased wa shield. Miss Fanning was born in New York City and at an early age showed talent for the stage. She was one of the cast of Shuffle Along in which she will be remembered for her clever artistry. She went to London with Blackbirds, and remained a year, gaining a marvelous reputation by her genuineness of art and charming personality. She returned to New York and joined the Revue of the Cotton Club. While engaged there she was brought into the musical comedy, "Just a Minute." She was characterized as one of the most stylish and best dressed of the fairer sex ROBERT DOUGLASS The Interstate Jattler Short and Sweet Short and Sweet BY THE OLD TIMER Our Private Medal: According to latest reports the Spingarn Medal has been awarded to the Rt. Rev. Mordecai Johnson, President of Howard University. It's good to see someone get it who is not a member of the N. A. A. C. P., even if Johnson has done nothing to deserve it, which, is not unusual with Spingarn medallists. However, in the belief that there are many other dark gentry who deserve recognition for their great work, we have established the Shinbone Medal which will be awarded ever and anon, and in great profusion. For the present we make the following awards to outstanding personages for distinguished services in the world of laughter (a) To Mr. Frank Crosswaith, well known Harlem rabble-rouser, for founding THE NEW MESSENGER, a magazine which has, unfortunately, failed to appear after six months of strenuous effort. (b) To the Hon. Benj. J. Davis, Editor of the ATLANTA INDEPENDENT, former head of the Georgia Odd Fellows and sometime Big Boss of the G. O. P. in Georgia, for his distinguished services as head of the National Negro Press Association, in bringing together as many as ten of the 300 Negro editors at the annual conventions. (Note: This beautiful medal is carved from the shin bone of a donkey at the tremendous cost of one cent at the Chicago Stock Yards, and the material of which it is composed is identical with the contents of the skulls of the winners). * * * Results of the Cocktail Craze: A recent news item from abroad tells us that geologists are now saying that many of the world's greatest glaciers are shrinking and decreasing in size. So this is where all the cracked ice is coming from? * * * A Broad Jumper: Mr. and Mrs. De Hart Hubbard are trying to get a divorce from each other. De Hart says his Storm and Strife pulled a gun on him, thus causing him Unreservedly we sponsor "Harlem" for Harlemites—Co-operate now in the business World before it is too late. --- ALVIN J. MOSES, Editor. N. Y. Phone: Edgecombe 8661. Entered as second-class 0 per year. Vol. V. No. 24, Friday, June 14, 1929 to break another record. Mrs. Hubbard claims that De Hart is a broad jumper in more ways than one—if you get what we mean. Well, such is matrimony—just one jump after another. * * * There Are So Many: A man in Brooklyn killed his wife and a man friend because he thought the two were going together. Foolish man, to lay himself liable to "burning" for such a trivial reason. In cases like this it is well to be philosophical. Why murder a woman when there are so many others! * * * Garvey as Politician: Admiral Marcus Garvey of New York, Africa, Atlanta, etc., is back in Kingston, Jamaica, where he is about to run for the legislature. Since he will not be required to do anything but talk, he will probably win, thus becoming the first Jamaican legislator with two wives. * * * Unnecessary Theft: Recently one Betty Moore, a white vaudeville performer, confessed to the police that she had kidnapped a little Negro baby on 125th Street, because her own child had died some time previously. This act was unnecessary. The lady could have gone a few blocks farther North and been given a Negro baby free of charge. * * * Smaller Money: Uncle Sam informs us that his new small-size currency will begin to be distributed on July 10th. We've been noticing that the dollars have been getting smaller all along, especially when we go to buy anything. * * * No More Death Tips: The Department of Hospitals of New York City has forbidden further practice of the custom of hospital employees notifying certain undertakers when a patient dies. Formerly the two groups have been in close harmony much to the disadvantage of patients seeking to regain their health. Well, these white folks haven't anything on the Negroes. About one of the first things a Negro physician does after administering the Black Bottle is to ring up his favorite undertaker and tell him the good news. This policy is said to keep down frantic competition even though it may increase the death rate. --- FRANODS MOSS MANN, who returned to the States on the Steamer 8. 8.

With the several exhibitions that have been given within the past few weeks, only one thing marred an otherwise enjoyable time, that of stating the "outstanding'; performers. To our mind, they are all outstanding, for are they not pupils? And what pupil, on exhibition, is not good? So with this in mind, the journey was made to Rockland Palace to witness the work of Grace Giles's famous dancing pupils in their annual dance revue. The admision price was one dollar, but without any exaggeration, one received ten dollars' worth of entertainment. There were about eighty numbers in all and 400 children, each one a decided triumph. To our way of thinking, the most remarkable part of the program was the entertainment afforded by the two and three year olds, toe dancers, aesthetic dancers and tap dancers. To train these kiddies evidently requires no small amount of patience and tact, and as strange as it may seem, the senior classes had nothing on them with regard to routine and rhythm. Then, too, the smallest tots were without the least bit of stage fright, instead, it seemed as if their audience, which was one of the largest ever packing the hall, gave them courage to work and work hard. Most commendable work was rendered in the impersonations of our foremost stars of the legitimate stage: Johnny Hudgins, the different "Blackbirds" and others. The babies seemed right at home in the shoes of the original characters. In witnessing the work of the senior classes, more than once we could hardly believe that we were not viewing one of the fast choruses of some of the best shows we have seen lately. These youngsters have ability. And too, the singing of each little "artist" was delightful, from the most plaintive of baby voices to the more sophisticated contraltos. A decided novelty was the dancing of Freddie Johnson, a pupil now on the legitimate stage, who possesses a pair of remarkable feet. Freddie is a FIRST ANNUAL INTER-GLUB DA ROCKLAND PALACE (Formerly Manhattan Casino) 155th Street & 8th Avenue * * * toe dancer, but the novelty of this act was that upon each ballet slipper was attached a tap plate, and how he used those taps. It would take many a line to describe the different costumes, but we will say they were simply gorgeous, from the clown costumes right on up to the THE LADY OF THE ROAD ETTA CACHEMAILLE, Society matron who is becoming quite an authority on that intricate game of the elite known as 'Bridge.' fluffy ballet frocks. One could hardly believe that the paper dolls really wore paper frocks. Of course, Little "Johnny Hudgins" (Frank Habisham) was there, and how! And can you believe it, better than the last two times we saw him. We left the casino with tired and strained eyes, for we were not in the least bored at any stage of the show. Miss Roberts, who arranged and taught the dances and designed the costumes used by the children of the "Y," is to be congratulated for a program of beauty and loveliness. The dancing was excellent and interesting, the costumes of soft chiffons and pastel shades and colorful Russian, Gypsy and Spanish combinations intriguing and stimulating. The outstanding artists were Anise Boyer, Evelyn Sheppard, Ruby Pickens, Thelma Brunder, Anne Brewster, and of the small children, Roberta McClain, Ruby Perkins and Gloria Figueroa. The team work of Telma Brunder and Anise Boyer, Evelyn Sheppard and Anise Boyer, and of Ruby Pickens and Gladys Schuster was most delightful and the ensemble dances particularly lovely. No account of the program would be complete without mention of the splendid musical support given by Julia Delany Bourne at the piano and Gertrude Martin, violinist. Miss Roberts' class is composed of Osma Duffus, Vivian Brown, Hilda Brown, Olga Chelthenham, June Molsom, Annie Williams, Edna Scales, Rucelle Ryce, Florence Davenport, Roberta McLain, Catherine Dummett, Thelma Castian, Blonnie Bee, Rose Marie Reese, Doris Foster, Constance Green, Ruby Pickens, Marjorie Smith, Mildred Schuster, Anna Brewster, Dorothy Schuster, Emily Schriner, Mattle Schriner, Grace Kennedy, Anise Boyer, Myra Traynham, Vivienne Trott, Thelma Brunder, Evelyn Sheppard, Gloria Cotton, Lois Peason, Florence Leonard, Gloria Figueroa, Gwendolyn Barnwell, Ernestine McCullough. Elizabeth Nash, Jane Day, and Francis Gordon. --- Birthday celebrations just an old world-wide custom. Two adorned the social calendar last week. A'Lelia Walker had her more intimate friends in on Thursday to wish her many more, and Jean Louise Simon of Brooklyn was greeted by her little playmates on Friday, at the Fayerweather Studio. At the Walker apartment, according to Harlem tradition, the sipping and eating played an important part and was supplemented by dancing and chatting. There were gorgeous presents from friends the country over, and flowers no end—the loveliest of which were peonies, one for each year, from her husband, Dr. Kennedy. In the "among those present" were Lucille Randolph, the Sheltons of Indianapolis, Lillian Bagnall, Amy Newton, Sarah Thompson, Bessye Beardon, the Fitzherbert Howells, the Marshall Rosses, Nettie Black, Ann Viney, Stella Everett, Irma Overton, Bertha Bradley of Bridgeport, Stella Johnston, Bernia Austin, Lloyd Thomas, Sol Johnson, Bill White, Alphonse Tribie, Savon Gonzales, Buster Anderson, Floyd James, McCleary Stinnette, Nappy Napoleon, Maizie Chappelle, Adelaide Cheeseman, Eddie Manchester, Dr. Bill M.

Jean's party was well, I haven't been to one of those in ages. Nothing but debs and their boy friends—quite young. There were lanterns, paper caps, giggles galore, ice cream and cake, and delicious fruit punch. They danced without stopping (imagine, and on their own pep), and I suppose got in a squeeze or two. The Nighthawk was the oldest person present, but he managed to dance once with the fair Jean. * * * Robert Bagnall, national officer of the N. A. A. C.

There were many of the former internes from all parts of the country present. Some of the foremost physicians and surgeons took part in the program.

He was elected chairman of publicity of the Internes Association. --- Adah Walls came in from Durham Sunday for the summer. Ain't we got fun?

In the unscarred heavens they leave no wake. And eyes forget the tears they have shed, The heart forgets its sorrow and ache The soul partakes the season's youth And the sulphurous rift of passion and woe Lie deep 'neath a silence pure and smooth, Like burnt out craters healed with snow...

There's a mingled feeling after one has had a pet dream come true.....a feeling of happiness——because of the wonderful time you've had and then the feeling of sadness that comes upon one after it's all over ....sad or sorry that it could not have lasted longer.....that party which will be one of the bright lights in our life. ....Longfellow said (Pricilla to John Alden) if you want a thing done well ....do it yourself.....do not leave it to others.....

Aceta: (Vinegars) These are preparations resulting from the extraction of the drug with dilute acids and filtering. Ex: Acetum Scillae (Vinegar of Squill.) Aquae (Waters) Preparations made by impregnating water with a volatile substance, and are made in different ways. 1—(a) Some are made by triturating the substance with purified Talcum and filtering. Ex: Aquae Meuthae. Ciperatae (Peppermint-water). (b) Others are made by mixing the substance with water, and shaking until dissolved, allowed to stand for 24 hours, then filtered. U S P X This refers to above. 2—Some are made by distillation. Ex: Aquae aurantii. Florum Fortior (Stronger Orange flower water.) 3—Some are made by dilution (Simple solution) i. e. Using one part of the stronger solution, to water and making up the required (strength) amount. Ex: Aqua Rosae (Rose Water). 4—Made by passing gases through water. Ex: Aqua Ammonia Fortior (Stronger ammonia water). Most of these preparations are widely used in the practise of Pharmacy and are invaluable in the science of prescription compounding. ris, Edna Burge, Flo Cooke and many others. --- The night after our party, Saturday, all of Black Sheep motored to Bordentown for Dot Valentine's party. * * * Mrs. Nannle Montero entertained the Foreign Study Club at her home last Wednesday evening.

THE INTER-STATE TATTLER SYPHILIS may attack the vulva (external female genital organs) in its primary, secondary and tertiary stages.

Chancres may occur in every part of the vulva and multiple chancres are commoner than in the male. The glands on either side of the external female genital may become enlarged and easily felt. Condyloma (kon-dil-o-mah) latum, a flat wart-like growth about the vulva with a yellowish discharge, may attack the vulva and form slight elevations with a moist grayish surface. The skin may become ulcerated by the moisture and from a secondary infection with a dirty discharge. The regions around the vulva and anus are most affected, but the inner aspects of the thighs is not excluded from these painless lesions. There may be small ulcers with a grayish red base just within the genitals. The diagnosis is often confirmed by secondary manifestations elsewhere—skin eruptions, enlargement of the glands, fever and a general feeling of sickness. Syphilitic tumors are rare and tend to break down and form ulcers with a grayish-red base, occasionally migrating toward the rectum to form a fistula or they may destroy the urethra and result in inability to hold the urine. Regard sores or abrasions about the vulva with suspicion, and consult your physician. Many women have syphilitic infection and not knowing it, innocently spread the disease. Children need sleep even though daylight saving makes them want to stay up. They should be in bed ten to twelve hours, depending on age.

If I am right, I have six regrets in my life and they are the other editions of Small’s Spring Revue. The show opens with Willie Jackson, Dick Camp- bell and Bernie Brown singing and in- troducing the entire revue. Then, Wade and Cole, two excellent dancers (male) are next with their original steps. Next Myra Johnson sings a popular number as no one but Myra can sing it. Willie Jackson and the chorines put over a very nice little act called “Two Sweet men.” Each one of the girls sing a little snappy verse about their man and Willie gives each a verse of con- tradiction. Then guess who we have! None other than the well known team, Bernie and Ida Brown. They really know their stuff. Their singing and dancing is really supreme. After the Brown's, Bea Foote and Willie Jack- son sing a suggestive number entitled, “Golf Link Papa.” Very funny and well put over. Myra Johnson then does a specialty with C. C. Gill, Dick Campbell and Bernie Brown that goes well in the line of entertainment. Wade and Cole stage a comeback in tap danc- ing that's worth seeing, Of course, the revue wouldn’t be complete without Joyce Robinson who stages a Spanish number with Dick Campbell that quick- ens the heart a little. Then, for the real treat—Warren and Gill, singers and dancers that are seldom found in Harlem, All original stuff and every moment of their entertaining is excit- ing and highly appreciative. That team alone makes you glad that you came to Small’s. The finale of course in- cludes the entire chorus and principals and they really close the revue in won- aerful’ order. The chorines are excel-* Jent in their support of the stars. Of course, I think they are grand because Hear Ye! Here We Are Again—To Make Whoopee! “THE FOUR F’s SOCIAL CLUB, Inc.

IN answer to the request of hundreds of our readers, to publish the 1928 Tennis Rating of race players of both sexes, we herewith submit the listing compiled by J. Mercer Burrell, prominent young Attorney from New Jersey and a real sports enthusiast. The writer considers Mr. Burrell. in the same light that baseball writers revere Munro Elias, official statistician of the National pastime. This is Mercer's listing verbatim: Page Twelve Who'll B IN answer to the request of our readers, to publish Tennis Rating of race play sexes, we herewith submit compiled by J. Mercer Burrell, young Attorney from New J real sports enthusiast. The siders Mr. Burrell. in the same baseball writers revere Munficial statistician of the Nation This is Mercer's listing verba FIRST TEN E. G. Brown, the premier stylist of the A. T. A., who won the National Singles title in 1922 and 1923 is rated No. 1. Brown earned this position by winning the 1928 Nationals, in which he defeated a strong lineup of seeded players, including two former champions, Ted Thompson and Eyre Saitch. His single defeat was suffered at the hands of Saitch in the New York Open, but this was more than neutralized by his winning the Nationals. Eyre Saitch, the king of the cannon ball service and the chop drive, retains his position as No. 2. Saitch tasted defeat twice during the season, once at the hands of Hudlin in the Finals of the South Easterns, and again when he lost to Brown in the semi-finals of the Nationals. Richard Hudlin had the greatest season of his career, having to his credit a win over Saitch in the South Easterns, in addition to capturing the West Virginia Open. He lost to Dr. E. D. Downing in the finals of the Tidewater Open, and had the misfortune to encounter the new "phenom," Graham from Ohio, in the quarter-finals of the Nationals. Hudlin's drive was working perfectly throughout the season, and he showed marked improvement in control. Dr. E. D. Downing of Virginia, has dropped from third to fourth position, giving way to Hudlin. Downing defeated Hudlin in the Tidewater Open, but in turn was defeated in the semi-finals of the South Easterns. He also met one of the new stars in the Nationals and failed to reach the quarter on finals. Dr. Sylvester Smith has lost one place, appearing this year at No. 5. "Syl" won the Pennsylvania and also the New Jersey Open Tournaments, but was defeated by Allison Davis before reaching the quarter-finals of the Nationals. Lester B. Granger of New Jersey, newly elected Vice President of the A. T. A., put in a busy season, reaching the finals in the Pennsylvania Open, and the semi-finals in the New England Open. He also played in the Nationals and South Easterns, and was also a finalist in the New Jersey local tournament. His advance from twelfth place to sixth place was one of the surprises of the season. "Ted" Thompson only competed in two tournaments and was unable to amass enough points to hold his high position of former years. "Ted" is rated at No. 7. Number 8 is a new comer and one who promises to be a future national champion. In his first year of competition, James Stocks, the youthful California wizard, came East to the Nationals and won his way into the charmed circle of the First Ten. He defeated many topnotchers and gave "Ted" Thompson a terrific battle in the semifinals. He also won the Pacific Open Sectional. Dr. John L. McGriff, the veteran President of the A. T. A., still holds his own in the First Ten, although he has dropped two places, giving way to Stocks and Granger, who are the newcomers. Dr. McGriff's battle with Saitch in the Quarterfinals of the Nationals showed that still had a lot of tennis left after ALVIN J. MOSES more than twenty years of tournament play. George Hill, the hard serving New Jersey champion, makes his premier appearance in the First Ten. Hill curbed his wildness during the past season and won the New Jersey local tournament, and was a semi-finalist in the Pennsylvania Open. He also made a good showing in the Nationals and in the New York Open. Dr. Marcellus Goff, Dr. C. W. Furlonge, Dr. M. E. Du Bissette and Louis Jones were members of the 1927 First Ten who for various reasons did not make the grade in 1928. SECOND TEN HEADING the Second Ten is Henry Williams of New Jersey, whose remarkable steadiness in all of the principal tournaments of the year enabled him to defeat many top-rankers, running up a high total of points. H. A. Kean of Kentucky has made a big jump from No. 24 to No. 13 in the current rating. Dawkins of Philadelphia, at No. 14, is an entirely newcomer in national circles. Dr. L. C. Downing of Virginia, holds his same position at No. 15, while Dr. C. W. Furlonge, J. W. Anderson and Dr. M. E. Du Bissette, all former members of the First Ten, are rated at No. 12, No. 16, No. 17 respectively. Allison Davis is an old timer who first took the game seriously last year, and made such a record in the Nationals that he is rated at No. 18. Dr. Bomar of New Jersey also receives his first national rating. Graham, of Ohio, one of the season's sensations, only played in the Nationals, and was rated in the Second Ten, although it is predicted that he will be a possible contender for championship honors next year. \* \* \* THIRD TEN The Third Ten is composed entirely of veteran players, all of whom, with the exception of Copeland at No. 22 and Ponder at No. 25, have been familiar figures in national ratings for several years. A number of prominent players, including Harvey Butler, Johnny Wilkinson, Tally Holmes, Trotman, Dr. Robinson, Dr. Gordon, Lenoir Cook, Logan McWilson, James Gayle and A. H. Harper, are missing from the National ratings for 1928. * * * WOMEN'S SINGLES THE three times champion, Miss Lulu Ballard of Philadelphia, again heads the First Ten of Women, having won the Nationals and the South Easterns, and lost to her closest rival, Miss Ora. Washington, in the finals of the Pennsylvania and New York Tournaments, and to the new sensation, Mrs. Gittens, in the New England Open. Miss Washington holds down No. 2, with only a shade of difference between her record and that of the champion. Miss Washington competed in five major tournaments, but appeared to be off form in the Nationals. Miss Eunice Brown competed in four major tournaments, but like Miss Washington, she didn't reach her best form at Bordentown. Miss Brown has gained one point over her previous rating. THE WEEKLY NEWS By Alvin J. Moses Miss Isadora Channels only competed in two major tournaments, and is rated at No. 4. She was No. 2 in 1927. Miss Emma Leonard, of New York, competed in four major tournaments with great credit, defeating many of the First Ten women. She has advanced one point over her 1927 rating, changing places with her well known New York rival, Mrs. Lottie B. Wade. Miss Annie Roberts of Virginia has moved up three places. Mrs. ```markdown ``` ETHEL HILL outside of driving her car as expertly as most men, exhibiting a mean brand of lawn tennis, swimming like a Mermaid and hiking all day when the mood calls for such; Miss Hill does does nothing in an athletic way. ```markdown ``` Frances Gittens of New York has again earned an improved rating. Mrs. Bertha Sadler won the New Jersey Open, and competed creditably in several other tournaments, entitling her to reenter the First Ten. Mrs. Sadler was No.14 in 1927. Miss Anita Gant, the hardhitting Washington girl, has dropped from No.8 to No.10. SECOND TEN Miss Elveta Marcellus, Dr. Mary J. Watkins, Mrs. Alberta Blackwell and Mrs. Susie Madison are the only members of the Second Ten for 1927 who have made the grade this year. JUNIORS REGINALD WEIR of New York, who won the junior title in the Nationals, is rated at No. 1. Reggie has developed a perfectly rounded driving game, and is undoubtedly the peer of all of the youngsters. Alfred Walker, the diminutive Baltimore wizard of the racket, is rated at No. 2 on reaching the finals in the Nationals. Herman Marrow has advanced from No. 8 to No. 3, while Nathaniel Jackson of North Carolina has changed places with his brother Frank at No. 4. Gerald Norman, Jr., of New York, has advanced three places to No. 6. Eddie Carroll, Bennett, Ashby and Felix Payne, Jr., are youngsters who receive their first national rating this year.

Lincoln Giants Humble Baltimore Sox Home-run clouts in the final stages of the two battles between the Lincoln Giants and the Baltimore Black Sox enabled the Catholic Protectory boys to hold the fort against the invaders from Maryland and beat them twice by a margin of one each time. The Lincolnns were the victors in the first tilt by the score of 4 to 3 and in the second by 6 to 5 before 6,500 vociferous fans. Charles Smith, speedy right-fielder of the Giants, distinguished himself in both games, hitting two home runs in the first game and a circuit clout and double in the second. The Sox scored a run in the first frame of the opener and held the lead until the third, when Jim Melton, new center-fielder of th Protectory lads, hit a long triple to right field. Washington followed with a single, sending Melton home and bringing Smith up to bat. Smith then proceeded to unlimber the first of his three home runs, thereby annexing three runs for the Giants. In the eighth inning the Sox made a strong bid for the game when Wilson singled and Dixon smashed a long homer over the fence, tying the game. But Smith, Black Soxs' Nemesis, once again in the last half of the eighth came to the front and bounced out a nify four-bagger, proved to be the winning run of the game. Dixon, the Black Sox centerfielder, showed major league form out in the field. In the fifth inning Riggans sent a long fly out to centr, which Dixon caught with great agility. The score of the second game was 6-5, and once again Smith sent the Sox down to defeat with his fine work at bat. Batting Averages Player and Team AB. H. Pct.

Harvey, who is retiring from coaching at the close of this year. W. D. Mann, the '29 football captain, in speaking for the students, told how they have learned to honor coach Harvey for his fighting spirit, clean sportsmanship and the manner in which he deals with his players on and off the field. Beginning with the fall of 1929 Prof. Harvey will devote his full time to the department of chemistry and editing the "Morehouse Journal of Science." Ray Vaughn, Colgate star, will take over the coaching. --- ‘Alberta Hunter Returns A BIT slimmer, decidedly more chic, still gracious and unpretentious, Alberta Hunter returned to the States on the S. S. Paris last Tuesday after an absence of two years in England and on the Continent, two of the most interesting years of her life. She came back with an enviable European reputation, a swagger English accent, a@ wardrobe that leaves you speechless, diamonds that call for blinkers, and a visiting list that would be the envy of the American nouveau rich. She went, she sang, she conquered. And now she has returned to the bosom of Harlem with a story of grandeur and elegance and triumph that puts to shame the most glorious fairy tale of your recollection. Her first stop was Paris, which she describes as a very beautiful city, a lovely place to live for a while, but possessing an unfortunate climate and dampness unsuited to Americans. There she found scores of our artists. At Le Florence, the smartest of night clubs, frequented by nobility and the elite, where she herself held forth for two months after the closing of the London Show Boat, are the International Five, the last word in entertainment— Opal Cooper, a Chicago product and one of the finest tenors we have, who is chef d’orchestre and thrills the patrons singing “Lover, Come Back to Me”; Sammy WARM | i PUI VLU SUNS] _ ORIG a Td Mair Growtag System anf Products NO QUESTION ABOUT IT ~ HAWAIIAN SYSTEM TREATMENTS WILL GROW YOUR HAIR 1 Bealp Troubles Kelicved.

Leslie Hutchinson, ‘he darling of London, who plays and sings like nobody’s business and is the favorite of Prince George, found her a delightful playmate. The Laytons, Robesons, and Brownings entertained her, Louis Drysdale, who tutored George Garner and Marian Ander- son, was enthusiastic over her voice, and a special bobby had to escort her nightly from the stage door to her car to keep her from being devoured by the “Queenie” fans. Life was one success after the other and how could she keep from falling for it. As for her clothes my dears, you can’t imagine the loveliness. Undles that. are visions of tucks, laces, pleats, and tiny stitches; hats, bags, gloves, boots that defy de- scription, swankie sport togs that only the English could execute, and gowns for formal wear that make your heart stand still.

Miss Jennie Johnson, one of Newark's own, took her audience by storm last Friday evening and was declared the favorite, by a large gathering at the Orpheum Theatre. The writer was somewhat surprised by so much talent. Well, all that can be said is that class will tell! * * * The Misses Murial Williams, and Yvonne Fulcher looked very sweet and charming the other day, and certainly were 38 and 2. The girls state that they intend to take in all the seashore resorts, so some of the male sex can start to get their ducks in a row. * * * The O. V. C. Club of East Orange and Newark held their fifteenth anniversary at Elks home last Thursday, and the Club wants to thank all their many friends who attended. Mr. Major R. Wormack was President, and Mr. Jerome Cato Chairman of the affair. The feature was C. Hilton Johns and his Sundown Syncopaters. * * * Mrs. Wm. H. Schenck left Saturday for Elbern, New Jersey, and Mr. Schenck left Sunday to spend the summer up in New York State. Bon voyage! 命 事 血 Mr. Wm.

Miss Cora La Redd, one of Newark's Page Not Found own star actresses, is going to the coast on the Proctor and Keith Circuit and expects to be gone about a month. Well, Cora dear, the best of success and you can't help being a riot as all the gang is with you. --- Miss Carrie Jackson, formerly of Buffalo and New York, is back in her home town, Newark, making this her domicile for an indefinite stay. Many of the original home town folks knew our Carrie when she was a mere slip of a petite Miss, and I feel sure that they are glad to hear the glad tidings. As the old saying is quite true, that one may roam away for quite some time, but in the long run there is no place like Home, Sweet Home. *** Misses Madora Young and Georgia Murphy, daughter of George Murphy, formerly pitcher of the Philly and MacCornell Giants, graduated from Bloomfield High School, finishing a four-year course in three years. These two Misses are both fifteen years of age. This is the first time since 1916 that any of our own have been on the honor roll at this school. Miss Gertrude Hayes also graduated with these girls. * * * The writer wishes to announce that he received a communication from Winslow Paterson, one of Newark's original boys, who is at present in Ecourse, Michigan, wherever that is, and sends his best regards to everyone. "Pete" will be remembered as the Ace of the Newark Giants, Philly Giants, and Baltimore Giants pitching staff, and occasionally played shortstop, and how that baby could clout the apple. He wishes to be remembered to "Poke" Green, John Riggs, "Nill" Carter, "Hookie" Rinck, and Sammy Hayes. * * * Miss Betsy from Paterson, New Jersey, certainly enjoyed herself to the fullest extent, and made a host of friends in our fair city. * * * Randall Sinclair, who returned from Florida after being steward aboard a private yacht, is now using his marine license. He is now captain of a private yacht for one of Newark's prominent auto dealers. * * * The Essex Political Club, better known as "Baby Dolls" of 172 Broome St., certainly does deliver the goods to all its patrons.

Nee a dozen new girls sent in their applications for the Tattler’s Big $1,000.00 Convention Queen Derby with fully eight weeks, 56 days left of the race. Three new clubs signified their willingness to each support one of the fascinating beauties and next week promises many, many new thrills. Interest has picked up greatly during the past two weeks and the girls are beginning to evince a show of keen rivalry which was lacking in the earlier part of the bie contest. : Ruth Holloway is leading at the present time with a grand total of 26,- 000 votes. But just a whisker behind is Mildred Pinder of Brooklyn with 24,000 and coming fast.

There are still eight weeks left and a lot of things can happen in eight weeks, 56 days. The “Race Is Not Always To the Swift” and no one can tell what the result will be. One Thing is cer- tain; this*contest is going to be mighty close from all indications. Among the twelve new girls who en- tered this week, was Miss Lillian Page, who was second in our “Queen of the Classic Contest” of last year. But Miss Lillian is facing a much larger and 2 faster field this year. The popular Fish Club have notified us that they will eifher enter a can- didate of their own next week or select some girl already in the contest to carry their colors. Four other clubs have each promised to support one of the girls. When these five clubs desig- nate their standard bearers, there will be about ten clubs competing for the three “Special Cash Club Prizes’ total- ing $100.00. The first is of $30.00; scc- 6nd, -35.00 and the third of $15.00 to the three clubs polling the highest Leeann .

It took Alex W. Stephens, of. the Stephens Agency, with offices at 2343 Seventh Avenue, just five minutes in order to write a $1000 “Personal Effect” policy for Dr. God- frey Nurse who sails Thursday on the S. S. Paris for France. Under the new plan introduced to resi- dents of this section by Mr. Stephens, the insured pays only twenty-five per cent of the premium after the policy has been executed and delivered, and the balance may .be paid inside of a ten-months period, with equal monthly payments during said term. No red tape, no bonuses, the companies that he repre- - sents live up to their word religiously, and all they ask of you is a like consideration when It comes to meeting the monthly installments. Especially should this be gratifying to automobile owners in view of the fact that Governor Roosevelt a short a eT ene, cccbbimancenign a trip.

C. carries on; in a meritorious way. One man does not wake a team. When a good one goes another takes his place. It seems to be the general impres- sion that now Edmund Holder, a sterl- ing player—one I consider the best in the country—is in Canada, The cham- pion West Indian C. C. is about to disintegrate. What folly! A club with the courage, the do or die spirit, the tradition of this formid- able aggregation, will never be hum- bled in the dust as long as cricket continues to enjoy its unique place in the hearts of thé cricket fraternity, No other club in the country has such a back ground. There is only one West Indian C. C. Mongrels may spring up o'ernight, through the length and breadth of the land, pompously calling themselves W. I. C. C.

Stone, Syracuse, known as the safety responsibility bill. it adds a new article to the vehicle traffic law so as to provide for the sus- pension of motor vehicle license and registration until proof of financial responsibility has been given where the operator is found guilty of certain viola- tions of the law. It also requires the revocation of licenses on failure to satisfy judgments. The proof of financial ability is to be evidenced by the certl- ficate of an insurance carrier, surety bond or a deposit of money as collateral. it becomes Chap- ter 695.
