JACK TROTTER, Business Manager Published Friday of every week by the Inter-State Tax matter February 26, 1926, at the Post Office in New York Garvey's Hop CHAPTER THREE IN the two preceding chapters we have discussed Marcus Garvey's social, economic, psychological and historical background from his infancy and youth in Jamaica to his early wanderings through the West Indies, to South America and finally to England. We have seen the growth of an idea to the point where it blossomed forth into the founding of the Universal Negro Movement Association in Jamaica on July 20, 1914, five days after his return from England and just eleven days before the outbreak of the world war. We have noted his attempt to strengthen his organization in his native land and the indifference of his fellow countrymen toward it. Now we find him on March 23rd, 1916, arriving in New York City to embark on his great career. Here was the great country of which he had heard so much. Here was the land of wealth, virility and efficiency where the whole world acknowledged that the Negro had made greater progress in measuring up to Caucasian civilization than anywhere else on earth. How Marcus Garvey got to New York is not recorded. He may have paid his way or he may have worked his way over. It is characteristic of the man, however, that he was determined to get here and he got here. The Negroes in the United States, he already knew were the richest in the world. They had also reached a high degree of literacy and culture. Surely, he reasoned, this country of all places would be ideal for the growth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Here the Negroes, though large in number, were greatly in the minority and had as a consequence been forced into a compact, solid group by the force of white prejudice. They were not, he believed, divided along lines of color and caste like the Negroes in Jamaica. Here the whitest Negro and the blackest Negro were both Negroes, and this fact was recognized and acted upon by both white and black folks. As a consequence, he believed, race consciousness would naturally be greater among the Negroes in the United States than among the Negroes elsewhere. They would, of all Negroes, be interested profoundly in Africa and the Africans, the development of group solidarity, discipline and economic independence. Surely they would not spurn him and ridicule him as had his countrymen in Jamaica. Surely they would rally around his standard. And so with high hopes Marcus Garvey came to Harlem. He came, he saw and he was disappointed. It was indeed the world's largest Negro city, but the bulk of its black inhabitants, he found were little interested in anything except a good time, fraternal associations and religious services. They had no political power worth mentioning and the economic status of the great bulk of them was akin to that of serfs. Crowded in congested tenements, decimated by disease, living for today and apparently unwitting of the morrow, they were a singular uninspiring group to the energetic and ambitious Marcus Garvey. But he knew enough to know that New York was not America. In that great back country where the real heart of America beat, he felt sure that the picture presented to his eyes would be more inspiring and encouraging. Accordingly he decided to make a national tour. There is no record of how he made this tour, whether in or outside of a Pullman, but the fact remains that he made it. In all he visited 38 states, always observing, studying, comparing, analyzing. He came as a stranger with all of the unbiased vision of the stranger. He was amazed to find that the Negroes with the great opportunities they possessed were so backward. Instead of the huge financial and commercial institutions he had expected to find, he saw, in the main, barber shops, hairstraightening parlors, shoe shine stands, a few efficiently managed and a horde of poorly managed grocery stores insurance companies, drug stores and real estate firms, and almost everywhere the Negro barely hanging onto the fringes of business, industry and commerce. There were the farms and a few banks, of course, but it was nothing to what he had expected. He found that instead of the American Negro being a well-disciplined mass, intelligently using every opportunity to further its economic independence, it was a loose, unorganized group, split into a dozen quarreling and antagonistic factions, with no fixed purpose, sinking almost every one of its extra dollars into On the Cover - - - "BABY COX" This animated little brownskin doll dances with all the fire and dash of the Russian Ballet performers and her crooning and strutting tend to make "Hot Chocolates" one of the bright lights along the Milky Way.

Subscription rate $2.50 per year. pes Centered In Marcus Garvey: An Analysis By SAMUEL I. BROOKS economically useless fraternal societies and multitudinous churches. He found Negroes eagerly staging convention after convention that profited only the railroad companies and which were merely social successes. He was surprised to find that, in spite of the pressure of the whites on mulattoes and blacks alike, that there was color prejudice within the race. The black man and woman unmixed with white strain were considered inferior to the mulattoes and apparently considered themselves inferior. He saw on every hand whiteness lauded as a virtue and blackness condemned as a vice. He heard blackness ridiculed everywhere from the street to the stage, and saw the whitest Negro girls sought while the full-blooded Negro women were shunned. In Washington and Detroit, the observant Marcus went into fashionable Negro churches and found that most of the members were light mulattoes. In each place he was looked askance when he attempted to take a seat in the front of the church. The light Negroes looked at him as if he were a strange animal—he who had come to the United States to solicit their aid and cooperation. Before coming to the United States he had heard much from Negroes who had been in this country of the power and prestige of the Negro press. Consequently his amazement knew no bounds when he saw that these newspapers Feeling the throttling hand of race prejudice on every side of him—borne down with unequal opportunities of gaining the livelihood which was his birthright — torn by the unfairness of his own race to each other—a young man conceives the idea of changing all this to the bigger and better advantages of Negroes, world wide. Follow in this and subsequent issues of the Inter-State Tattler how well MARCUS GARVEY succeeded. were in the main nothing but personal mouthpieces for editors who were half-politicians, half-mendicants; corrupt, venal and ignorant; men who yelled race pride from one column and carried shameful skin-whitening advertisements in another column; men who wrote stirring editorials about independence and honesty, then sold out their sheets to corrupt politicians around election time and kept their mouths closed about the vice, immorality and corruption upon which these politicians fattened; men whose only policy was that of expediency; men who, in the main, truckled to the white folks with money and had criminally neglected to work out and advocate a clear-cut policy of racial betterment. His tour throughout Negro America was amazing and disillusioning to him. He had expected so much and found so little. He had looked for efficiency and found deficiency. He had expected intelligent, courageous leadership and had found the bulk of the Negro leaders to be ignoramuses, incompetents, white-folks-niggers or worse. In a country noted for its business enterprise, he had expected to find the Negroes, if not exactly in step with the times, at least not far behind. Instead he had found them so far behind in the race to wealth and economic independence, so deficient in leadership and organization, so entirely unwitting of their way that the masses were being spiritually crushed and the younger, rising generation of Negroes that should have been hopeful and buoyant, was depressed, disillusioned and cynical, with nothing to look forward to, generally speaking, but a future as a domestic or at best as a school teacher in a jim crow school or a professional person fattening off the fetid ghettoes in which the Negro masses lived. He took cognizance, of course, of what advancement the Negroes had made but he saw clearly that if the Negro kept on in the way and at the rate of progress he was maintaining he would never be anything but a dependent peon, a slum dweller, a victim of sloath, immorality, viciousness and disease. Marcus was not deceived by a few shining exceptions. He was a man and still is a man that sees things in their entirety. Because a town with twenty or thirty thousand Negroes had a couple of grocery stores, a bank and probably a drug store or two, he was not foolish enough to believe that therefore the black inhabitants were making any tremendous progress. Unlike most other Negroes, he was unwilling to go --- Edgecombe 6661. Entered as second-class Vol. V. No. 29, Friday, July 19, 1929 around apologizing for the shortcomings of the happy-golucky blacks and their largely incompetent leaders. He saw clearly what was wrong and all that was wrong, and he concluded that if ever a group of people on the face of the earth needed an organization like the Universal Negro Improvement Association it was the black folk in the United States. In the first place, his keen mind told him that the Negroes needed to be energized with a new spirit and a new philosophy. They needed to be impregnated with hope and inoculated with the ploneering spirit without which no people can amount to anything. They needed to be challenged as they never had been before if they were ever to be stirred out of their sloath and indifference. They needed the electricity of harsh criticism to shock them out of their shameful aping of the white man and their more shameful ridiculing of the black skin of which they ought to have been proud. They needed to have their incompetent and ignorant leaders castigated and challenged, put on the defensive and either made to work for the best interests of the group or turn the leadership over to loyal and race-couscious Negroes who would. In the next place he felt that the Negroes needed to be organized along more intelligent and productive lines. The churches and fraternal organizations were serving no purpose, he saw, except to fatten preachers and rascally officials. What the Negro needed was economic organizations, something basic that would enable him to free himself from the shackles of utter dependence. Here, he felt confident, was where the Universal Negro Movement Association came in. Through this organization, he reasoned, he could mass the power of the Negro. Then with numbers and money he would teach them to run their own stores, industries and financial institutions with a high degree of efficiency. He would then similarly organize the Negroes of the West Indies by means of the money and prestige gained in America, and found a steamship line so the products raised and the commodities manufactured in one place by Negroes could be transported to another place and exchanged for the products and commodities raised and manufactured by other Negroes. At the same time, through his African Comunities League, he would organize the scattered and diverse Negro peoples of Africa, economically, politically and spiritually, so they would be able to free themselves from their white oppressors. Then the three groups, Africans, West Indians and Americans, but all Negroes, would be joined together in one solid mass, intelligent, efficient, independent; free at last and able to raise their heads proudly in the family of nations. No matter what one may think of Marcus Garvey, one cannot but praise the intellect that could evolve such a comprehensive plan of race statesmanship. Nothing like it had ever been dreamed. Others who had thought racially confined their thoughts and plans to their own countries but Marcus Garvey took the whole Negro world for his stage. He saw clearly that white imperialism was world-wide; that exploitation of Negroes was world-wide; that race prejudice was world-wide, and that consequently the Negroes if they expected to emancipate themselves from their social, economic and spiritual thralldom, must have an organization that was world-wide. (NOTE: Next week Mr. Brooks will tell the readers of The Inter-State Tattler, how Garvey upon his return to Harlem, set about the tremendous task of organizing his now famous movement.—Editor.) Liberia's Minister Dies at Post William T. Francis, sole representative of our group to hold the rank of Minister in the United States Foreign Service, died of yellow fever last Monday at Monrovia, Liberia. True to his creed which was "Hard Work," Mr. Francis died at his post of duty while in the act of thinking out new methods in furthering better relations between this country and Liberia. Mr. Francis was born in St. Paul, where for many years he was a prominent and distinguished member of the bar. Graduating from St. Paul College, for fifteen years he was with the legal department of a railroad in St. Paul. In 1912 he began the private practice of law, and on July 9th, 1927. he was appointed Minister and Consul General to Liberia by President Coolidge. He was a member of the Negro Department of Republican Headquarters in Chicago in 1924. His death reduces the number of race representatives in the foreign service to two: C. H. Wharton, secretary of the legation at Monrovia, and James G. Carter, consul at Calais. On being informed of Minister Francis's passing, Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State, cabled Mrs. Francis that "the tragic death of her husband deprives the United States of one of its most able and trusted public servants."

I have raved over their wedding, which was the prettiest thing I have ever seen; over the reception, the presents, the bridesmaids, the ushers, and last, but not least, the bride and groom. I have sighed, wished, and day-dreamed about it all. I have remarked that the bride was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. And so, with the golden spoon still in her mouth, the bride greeted her guests; the groom beamed upon everybody. The bride wore a beautiful creation of georgette and lace—one of those short-in-the-front, long-in-the-back, floating affairs. The groom looked handsome enough to kiss over again. They both showed us every corner in the house, and they have the darlingest apartment out in Williamsbridge—four rooms—a dream of a nest. How can I ever describe the bed room. The parlor—(if I had one like it, I would never go out)—with a bird cage and a singing bird who sang and twittered to everybody in bird language, "I am lucky to live here"; the goldfish swimming in all their glory. The kitchen—a perfect love it was; and the other room, so far, it just had to hold the preesnts, and it was simply over-run with everything on earth for a bride's home.

Mamma and Papa Lowe just beamed and looked as though they were in heaven instead of the bride and groom. And so we inspected and visited and inspected some more until at least ten o'clock. They have a garage too, and they are going to buy a car soon. They are spending the first car of their honeymoon—the week-end with Dr. and Mrs. H. L. Walker of Greenwich, Conn., after which they will take in the world-old Mecca of all honeymooners-Niagara Falls. *** The West 137th Street Branch of the Y. W. C. A., gave their annual rooft-garden, lantern dance on July 12th, honoring all visiting teachers, sorors and friends. We went early because we knew that it would not last way into the yawning, which was a pity that it couldn't, because the guests had the grandest time of their young lives. One can very well dance all night on a roof garden. Why not? And one can become very sentimental, what with the moonlight and all. We are sure that we saw the moon, at any rate. We just danced and danced all the way through. I am trying to find out the name of the orchestra. I have every reason for wanting to engage their services in the very near future, for while I was dancing with what makes a lady's heart beat faster, the orchestra played fifteen continuous minutes—as straight as that. Heavenly! The Night Hawk, I noticed, was there. We drank gallons of punch, which was very good for the "Y", and about 11:30, the orchestra started what we would call a marathon dance feature, because I know that I glanced at the time. They started at 11:30 and at 12:000 when they finally tuned into "Home Sweet Home." I found that I was still dancing with the same man. Half an hour straight. If this is not a record, what is? We are dropping a gentle hint to the sponsors of the "Y", who put over such an enjoyable evening for their patrons and guests, in about August, a sort of farewell to the teachers, visitors and others, who will depart from this city, and so remain away until next summer. *** There are dances and dances.

This was before we received our invitation to the Teneo Informal, and we had to change our minds and attend the affair, after all. The Teneos put over a very swank dance at Washington Irving High School roof, on Saturday, July 6th. The invitations called for 8:30 P. M., as the commencement of the evening's frolic. We blase New Yorkers think it very chic to stroll into a dance at one or two, but Washington Irving was about jam-up at 9:00 P. M. A record. The dancers—the lovely ladies—were beautiful in summer colors—chiffons, organdies—and those adorable pastel shades. The men looked as swank as could be. The music was at the top of the world, and the darlingest souvenirs were given away, and I got a perfume shaker. (You don't drink this.) It was just dainty. We were served refreshments. Everybody we know seemed to be there, and enjoying themselves, as hot an evening as this was. The Teneos are the Teneos—a handsome body of young men. They know how to put over a swell affair and really make it stay put. The roof, the dancers, the music, the souvenirs, the orchestra, the refreshments, the club personnel—ah! * * * Dr. George C.

The entire house was arranged to resemble a hotel. Every room had a number over the door; bells in each room connected with the office; in the office were two clerks who saw to it that the guests registered; a doorman ushered them in; six or more bell boys were seated in front of the office. Most of these bell boys are now M. D.'s, but they seemed not to have forgotten the technique of their jobs during college days, for they handled the hundred or more guests in great style and some of the guests arrived as late as 5:00 A. M. In the meantime, the saxaphonist and banjoist were trying to out syncopate each other while the guests danced. Last, but not least, was the bar and a real one, with a brass rail, three busy bartenders and plenty of wet refreshments kept the many waiters busy. Yet, the house detective seemed not to notice what they were serving with such fancy names. A delicious collation was served in the dining room. I did not remain for breakfast, but what a wow of a time everybody was having when I left. *** Professor Carroll T. Willis of the North Carolina College in Durham, N.

IN the last issue, I gave a synopsis of the Orange (Aurantium); in this, I will briefly give some explanations of certain properties, obtained from plants, and the animal kingdom, and are of great medicinal uses, as pertains to their curative principles. Olea (Oils):—These are of two kinds; viz (a) Fixed or Expressed; (b) Voltile or Essential. (a) Fixed or Expressed oils are found in the vacuoles of cells or formed with the cell walls, from which they maybe liberated (freed) as globules upon treating sections with certain chemicals or heating them. (b) Volatile or Essential Oils are odoriferous principles found in various parts of numerous plants which arise either as a direct product of the protoplasm, or through a decomposition of a layer of the cell wall which as Tschirch calls "a resinogenous layer." These are readily distilled from plants together with watery vapor. They leave a spot on paper, which however disappears, and differentiates them from Fixed or Expressed Oils. An example of Fixed or Expressed Oils is: Oleum Morrhuae (Cod Liver Oil) This is a pale yellow, or yellow oily fluid, possessing a characteristic fishy odor and taste; extracted from the fresh liver of the Cod (fish) Gadus Morrhua, at a temperature not exceeding 85 degrees C (185 degrees F), subsequently removing fat by filtration at about 5 degrees C (23 degrees F). Medicinally: It is said to be a valuable nutrient; nervine and haematinic tonic. Most efficient in all forms of tubercular disease, and in rickets, and tertiary syphilis; also said to be useful in the chronic eczema and chronic bronchitis of children; and generally in all cases of impaired nutrition an debility. due to overwork; acute disease or underfeeding. In Pulmonary consumption, it is said to possess a high reputation, in the form of an emulsion, with or without Malt Extract. It is very easily assimilated and is best given within half an hour after meals, but may produce indigestion and nausea. Children tolerate it much better in the form of an Emulsion with Malt Extract.

Beauty service by skilled beauticians. Plenty Booths. No Waiting. Phone: University 2835 For Appointments Medical Notes By KELLY MILLEB, JE. SYPHILIS is the cause of paresis or general paralysis. Paresis is an organic disease of the brain of an inflammatory and degenerative nature with progressive mental deterioration and various other symptoms of mental disturbance 1930 Only a small percentage of syphilitics develop paresis and the proportion is three males to one female. White people are more predisposed to the disease than are colored people, and it usually occurs between the thirtieth and fiftieth years. Business or domestic troubles, and, in fact, great anxiety of mind from any cause, injuries of the head, also venereal or alcoholic excesses serve more or less directly to induce the disease. In the early stages there may be defective intelligence, lack of judgment, defective memory and lack of moral responsibility. A previously respected citizen, father of a family, occupying a high social position, at the height of his success may enter a career of drunkenness and vice and an ardent worshipper of women. The disease comes on suddenly and what was previously an honest, upright, moral, truth-loving, sober citizen becomes engaged in every form of vice and sinks to the depths of degradation. He may waste large sums of money in "big timing" and other forms of vice, wreck his business and plunge himself into debt and when he is committed to an institution his family only then realize that they are peniless. The disease often goes unrecognized during its early stages. There is no disease in which a failure to make a correct diagnosis results more disastrously. The disease can probably be prevented if proper anti-syphilitic treatment is taken after the infection. Don't forget the blood test. Professional Announcement Tel.

EVES at 8:30 MIDNIGHT SHOW EVERY TUESDAY At The Lafayette This week's offering at the Lafayette Theatre is very pleasing with better comedy than it has been my good fortune to see at this house in a number, quite a number of weeks. The two able black face entertainers, Johnny Lee and Bootsey Swan work along clean, aggressive lines of entertainment and they produce many a laugh. Of the two, this Johnny Lee is the better, more natural artist of this type. If my memory is not at fault, this is the first time these comics have played the Lafayette. And this is true of the majority of the featured entertainers in this production. Dudley Dickerson and his clever burlesquing of Al Jolson's "Sonny Boy" is another pleasing entertainer with a rather novel idea. He comes out in one part of his act with an ebony child and his grotesque mannerisms are almost certain to make his audience laugh. Dickerson has material to build a nice little comedy act and one that should get him real money. Monet Moore and Joe Willis register well with their blues rendition. This clever team were one of the outstanding features of "Messin' Around" and they did much to keep that production in the Broadway district so long. Fess Williams and his "Royal Flush" orchestra and entertainers will be found worth the price of admission alone. Others in the production, which by the way is called the "Slippery Elm Revue" are, Baby Lee, Jean Calloway, Lloyd Hollins and an exceptionally hard working chorus unit of pleasing to look at brown and yellow gals. The photoplay program for the week is also particularly enjoyable. The feature picture is the Vitaphone talking underworld melodrama "Hard-Boiled Rose." Myrna Loy, who will be remembered as the star of "State Street Sadie" is the star of this newest crook story which held the audience spellbound. The photoplay program also includes a wildly-enjoyable "sound comedy" and Phil Spitalney's Band in some new and hot numbers. At The Alhambra The dramatic sketch at the Alhambra Theatre this week, "The Devil" is one of the best it has been our good fortune to enjoy at this house in some months. This Bessie Wrightson, who is one of the principals of the sketch, is a rather clever girl. With the proper training she should be one of our best dramatic artists within a year. This week, the entire cast of the sketch is seen to advantage. Hayes Prior as the arch villain; Tom Mosely as the rival of Ted Blackmon, the husband; Edna Barr, the unfortunate wife and Miss Wrightson, the vamp, are good in their respective parts. Miss Barr is playing a character better suited to her emotional nature than the flippant role of last week. Others in the cast of this sketch are the old reliable Al Watts and another little chorine, Margie Bourneville. The Smile Awaile Revue featuring Dewey Markham, Billy McLaren, Johnny Lee Long, Anita Bush, Orlando Roberson, Teddy Blackmon, Amanda Randolph, Edna Barr, little Margie Bournville and the sixteen, er pardon me, the twelve Alhambra Dancing Damsels registered well with the Monday afternoon audience. Teddy Blackmon, in an old Chinese character, gets the biggest hands. In this specialty, Teddy is certainly clever. Next to Mr. Blackmon, this Bessie W.ightson in her Chinese costume is a wow. At The Douglas Judging from the crowds seen in the vicinity of Lenox Avenue and 142nd Street these last few weeks, the New Douglas is coming back into its own. And little wonder, for what with the splendid programs that are being offered and the fine quality of the Vitaphone performance, there is no reason why this large, well-ventillated and efficiently managed house should not be the most popular picture theatre in Harlem. Next week's bill—the second under the new policy of three changes weekly—is an inviting one. The head-liner, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, is "Sonny Boy" starring that remarkable youngster of 'Singing Fool' fame, Davey Lee. Davey's part in "Sonny Boy" has nothing of the tragic character of the role he has in the Jolson play. He is shown as the child of temporarily battling parents, and to keep the child's father from taking Sonny Boy with him, his mother plans with her sister, to kidnap him. It is by his winsome and ingenious doings that things are finally straightened out. "Sonny Boy" is a Vitaphone picture, the action of which is heightened by sparkling dialogue and effects. FROM BEALE STREET TO BROADWAY CLIFFORD McGUINNESS REVIEWS THE LIFE OF W. C. HANDY "I care not who makes a nation's laws, So long as I can write a nation's songs."

IN the year 1873 there were born in the town of Florence, Alabama, two men. One was Oscar De Priest, statesman, lawmaker. The other, William Christopher Handy, composer and musician. Taking their rise in that small town, the two lifestreams flowed in opposite channels. Both flowed North: the one to the White House of Washington, while New York's Great White Way—Broadway—received the other. M. R. B. Just after the Civil War. Handy's grandfather bought a homestead on the west side of Florence, which is known as "Handy's Hill." His grandfather also built the first Negro Church in Florence. His father later became Pastor. It was then that young Handy decided on music as a career. To the three R's, conventional in the early Eighties, Prof. Wallace, the schoolmaster, added singing, believing William would make a good tenor, yet a greater politician. The father felt that the boy would never amount to much if a professional musician, for musicians then had to play "hoedowns" and "corn songs." (How was the minister to know that scholars would be very anxious one day to understand these despised songs? How was he to know that in every art on the face of the earth, only that is good, only that is great and immortal which has the smell of earth and flesh in it?) But let's do Handy's father justice; he saw something in the boy, a power, a sense of leadership, a mind which held reality as in a closed fist, surely little Handy did some things that showed his father a short glimpse of the Handy of today? The minister thought music a waste of time. But the boy was stubborn. If it hadn't been for that boy's obstinacy, America would have had only another politician, as the teacher wished, or another bishop, as the father wished. Instead of being cowed by his father's disapproval. Handy stole the ALHAMBRA SEE THE Amsterdam News AMUSEMENT PAGES For Complete Details of Harlem's Greatest Shows ALHAMBRA TRIPLE PROGRAM in the town of Florence, Alabama, west, statesman, lawmaker.

They went on a grand tour, but in southern Alabama the manager suddenly vanished and, with him, the treasury. The quartette walked back to Florece, singing for their meals. When they sang "Take Me Back Home, Let Me See It Once More," real feeling must have added a tremolo. Birmingham was a city. Bigger bands there, more schools to teach in. Handy, arriving there, found that what he could get as a teacher was even less than half of what he could get as a laborer in the pipe works at Bessemer, twelve miles outside. Naturally he became a laborer. Life itself, not academic study alone, taught him many work songs that, using him as a medium, were to achieve a great place in American music. However, the election of Grover Cleveland had a bad effect on labor. Less work and less pay prevailed. Back at Birmingham, Handy came across a quartette in a saloon. With twenty cents in his pockets, he took hold of these four older men, and started out for the World's Fair at Harlem's Co AMERICA'S LEADING LAFAY Harlem's Coolest Theatre "AMERICA'S LEADING COLORED THEATRE" LAFAYETTE 7TH AVE. at 132ND ST.

HANDY, daddy of the "Blues," whose life story reads more like a fairy tale or a Horatio Alger "Dare to Do" story. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Chicago, first announced for 1893. En route, they travelled by freight. At Culman, a brakeman ordered them off. The quartette began to croon, someone strummed a guitar and Handy muted his cornet. The brakeman relented. Thereafter they rode in the caboose. Before the troubadours reached Chicago, the Fair was postponed for a year. So they found themselves in St. Louis instead. Hard times. Hundreds slept on the cobblestones on the levee, Handy among them. He hoboed out of it, to Evansville, Indiana. There he did street-bricking at a dollar fifty a day. He played in the Hampton Band there until he met one Taylor of Henderson, Kentucky. Taylor took him to Kentucky where he made twelve dollars for one day's work in the Henderson band. Those were golden days all around: his future wife was then a Henderson girl. Henderson, being on the Ohio River, was a steamboat landing and there he learned the levee songs of the roustabouts or stevedores—quite an acquisition. The 4th of August, 1896, saw him in Chicago. The famous Mahara Minstrels wanted him. With them his technical ability came into something like full play. His band played everything from ballads to Beethoven. In Oakland, California, Handy, who, as his musical education progressed, neglected all other music for the sake of the academic and classical, gave a cornet solo, playing Hartmann's "Mia." It was a technical feat, but the gallery hissed. The music was foreign. There is no national feeling for the music of composers long since dead, like Poethoven and Palestrina, because none of it is written by Americans. So we are indifferent. The next night, Handy tried something with a Dixie warmth to it, something not unfamiliar to the magisterial sentiments of the gallery. He played it with a sway of the shoulders and a tap of his foot. The rhythm, familiar and native, conjuring up things in the hearer's past, caught on. A queer beat fused the crowd and handy into a unit, a plant played on by the forces of the universe. After this, Handy almost symbolically returned to Alabama. Should a composer, a creator of music, remain academic and classical, he remains merely imitative. So when Handy returned to Alabama, all jejune imitation, stopped. He had realized what his people wanted and was Wagner had said, "Latin music for Latin throats. German music for German throats." Handy added "Negro music for Negro throats." From 1900 to 1903 Handy was at A. & M. College, where he had charge of the band and vocal music. Often he would go around, striding through the cotton fields outside Huntsville, his ears drinking in the work songs and spirituals of the people he knew songs that had sprung up without any apparent origin, like the poems attributed to Homer, epics of men like John Henry and Jim Crow. We next find him in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where he saw the aesthetic value of another type of Negro song.

That is very mild compared to what some of your readers over here in Jersey would like to call you. Now Bennie, I do appreciate and admire your intelligence as a columnist. But your criticisms of the plays and players appearing in Harlem, I am forced to believe through rigid observation, are based solely on your personal liking, or affiliation with the actor. Which is very unfair to your readers, particularly the out-of-towners, who depend largely on the columnist's version of the show. I attend the Alhambra, and the Lafayette weekly.

At the Lafayette I always find a first run photoplay—usually good. The revue, a continuous round of misrepresentation, which is an insult to the intelligence of the theatre-going public.

Gee, I do wish these fellows would stop snooping on me. It's beginning to get annoying. They are apt to discover something one of these days that might prove embarrassing to me. However, I have a suspicion that Mr. Harris has been reading the Tattler, (two T's if you please, James) only with his eyes. He claims that I am unfair to the readers in my articles. Now I wonder, if that is true in any sense? Oh, ho, ho; sorry, but I'm forced to disagree with you, Mr. Harris, my esteemed Tattler reader. Any theatre patron who attends a house charging but fifty cents top, can hardly expect a "Show Boat" production. When I say a revue playing the Lafayette Theatre is good, it should be understood that it is, damn good, for the small admission price. But the man or woman who wants a $3.00 or a $5.00 show, is hardly going to the Alhambra Theatre to get it. In conclusion, I take exception to Mr. Harris associating me with the other newspaper writers. I work along entirely different lines, sir. I, for one, can't sit at my desk and picture what's going on at the theatres as others claim. And I have seen fit to "pan" more entertainers than all the other writers combined. As for that "personal friend" stuff and the gals who look good to me, phoie, old top, phoie. Most of the entertainers will tell you I'm a hard boiled proposition.

It began last Monday afternoon at a tea given at the Appomatox Club in aid of the Provident Hospital. It turned out to be more or less of a ladies' affair. Mrs. George Cleveland Hall was hostess. Quite a gala affair. Now and then a man would appear, and after viewing the situation beat a hasty retreat. Alston Burleigh and myself stayed just long enough to find out who was there, and discovered Mrs. George S. Abbott, Miss Hortense Hall, Mrs. A.

The cast of the Harlem Company were the guests of honor, and they put on a too bad show with yours truly acting as master of ceremonies. This artistic group has secured a garage, remodeled and redecorated it, and now have a little theatre centre that New Yorkers should envy. Upstairs is a reception room and Book Nook, downstairs is the Little Theatre. When you go to Chicago don't fail to visit it. Mrs. Lewis is to be congratulated, for her efforts have finally been rewarded. Heretofore activities of the group have been more or less scattered and spasmodic. Now, however, with a headquarters established, casting began, two plays scheduled for downtown in the fall, all we can do is to say good luck. Among the things we liked in the Boom Boom city were: the living conditions of our folks; beautiful Grand Boulevard which makes our own Seventh Avenue look like a cow path; the exotic belles who have taken the motto of the Royal Mounted as their own, and usually get their man, even as you and I; the hospitality of my friend Ralph Black, a prince of good fellows; Clara's dimples; Marie's wizardry at the piano; listening to Mamie Moon sing; Fay's smile; Inez' personality; the wholehearted reception of everyone; Lake Shore Drive; reading Geraldine Dismonds' column in the Bee; and I hated most: to play tennis in sub zero weather; the voice which disrupts all the radio programs with "a great town Chicago" gag; the all too numerous Boom Boom men; to receive Grace Outlaw's invitation to her country place in Wisconsin and not being able to accept it; having to leave Chicago so soon but nevertheless glad to be back home even if I am broke, for after all there is only one Harlem so that's that...cheerio. Page Nine At The Odeon Theatre Believing that the subject of the younger generation is of tremendous importance, and realizing that it had never been honestly and faithfully presented in pictures, one of our Hollywood directors, Raymond Cannon, produced an unusually realistic picture in "Joy Street" which will be shown at the Odeon on Thursday and Friday, July 18 and 19. The story is built around the career of an unsophisticated girl plunged into the dizzy whirlpool of the young generation at play. "The Pagan," John Russell's celebrated novel of the South Seas, with Ramon Novarro as the hero, will be the attraction at the Odeon on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, July 20, 21 and 22. This new picture was filmed in its entirety in the islands. It is a vivid drama of a young islander's struggle against the encroachments of civilization, and has a charming love story punctuated with battles under water with sharks and other thrills of the tropics, as details. Saratoga's Open With a hip hip hurrah, they ripped off the lid at the old Capitol Palace last Thursday nite and re-christened the popular club the Karatoga. J. "Blondy" Brown and William "Chunky" Ambrose together with a number of willing aids, made whoopee and how. The "Gang," that is the regulars, whooped it up and the fire-works (not water) burned until the wee small hours of the following morn. The club has a miniature army of well known entertainers including Claude Hopkins' Saratoga Serenaders. Then there's Billy Mitchell of the crazy feet and Professor Toby of all four feet, and the ebony joy of all bark-dom. Aubrey Thomas, Javis Hall, Flea Gray, Kitty Arblanche, Mable Richardson. Ruth Trent, Luella Wilson and Catherine Lamarr. Messrs. Brown and Ambrose have wonderful possibilities in this old rendezvous. Their prices, nothing over fifty cents are within the reach of almost every man. The place is large and cozy, the music and entertainment good and the management courteous.

GOTHAM HIGH HATTERS Quoted from "The Morning Telegraph", Sunday, July 14th, 1929, under the caption of "The Town in Review." It hasn't become generally known as yet, but up around Strivers Row, where they used to live happily together—the neighbors mumble that a handy-man is doing all the light house work in the Harry Wills Mansion. The brown skins call that classy block "Strivers Row" because they are all striving to get there, and when there, they must keep striving to stay there. We have always contended that every breath we draw in Harlem is transmitted to those higher up in Wall Street and other outlying districts through a process far more rapid than 'television.'

Too many people dying from the heat. * * * Well, the "Her" read the Tattler last week, and immediately thereafter, proceeded to bawl me out, no end, for ditching her last week after the feed on Saturday night; so I decided to spend this week-end, doing a solo. * * * After leaving the beach on Friday evening, I journeyed back to the city one tired and ravenously hungry person. Despite the diet, I had consumed numbers of hot dogs, feeling that the swimming would offset any gain in weight, but those dogs refused to fill me up. So I figured I'd get a big thrill going in to the Lotus Tea Garden and having only one check to pay. But the check in question was so small that the thrill of the solo act was knocked out by the surprise I received. \* \* \* My next hop was into the Paradise. Somehow or other I have a crush on Ruth Cherry down there, so of course I stayed my usual three hours, emerging from this bit of heaven filled with soft drinks—never-no-hard. * * * Saturday morning found me dressed by eleven o'clock, in my bathing suit, sweater and trousers—all ready for another trip to the beach. But I never got any farther than the office. So, I said that I would make up for it Saturday night—but I must be alone. Well, I forgot that I had a very important appointment for Saturday night, therefore I had to stay home. Somehow or another the solo act was not doing so good. But I figured I would make up for it on Sunday. --- *** My 'phone rang incessantly on Sunday morning but I answered it not for I didn't care for any company.

"Well," I said to myself, "the Sunday 'John' is out of the question, today." * * * So about four o'clock, I decided I'd see how I would make out at the matinee at Smalls'. And I went, alone. My boy Willis met me at the door with his same smile, and then the look of surprise was quite apparent. "Alone?" he asked. "Yes," was my curt reply. (Little does he know that he's part of the reason for my solo act, for don't I take the dames for them to rave over him in return.) Well, the sheik showed me to a table, talked with me for a few moments, by which time I had almost recovered from the effects of jealousy, and then I proceeded to have a stomp-down good time. Everybody's broad was mine for the asking. And boy! Did I feel sorry for the closing time. * * * Soloing ain't so worse at the Matince.

STEPHENS' INSURANCE AGENCY 2343 SEVENTH AVENUE, Near 137th Street RENAISSANCE THEATRE BUILDING Telephone Bradhurst 5883-4192 About The Musicians BY AUBREY BROOKS My policy is the same as it always has been since the beginning of my writing career—praises galore for the deserving, and severe criticism for the wrong doers. It is my firm belief, that professional musicians should lend dignity to their profession, thereby placing it as far above reproach as is possible. Of course, we expect to find exceptions to the rule, but those cases should be so rare, as not to bring discredit to the profession, but instead, they should emphasize, all the more, the fact that doing the right thing is the practiced rule among musicians, rather than the exception. It is certainly gratifying to cite, at this time, the case of Dr. Numa P. Adams as a contrast to the very unfortunate case of Seymour Iricle. Dr. Adams was a cornetist who worked his way through college by playing music. After graduation, he became an instructor in chemistry at Howard University; later he was appointed assistant professor. Dr. Adams decided he wanted to study medicine. He went to Chicago and after completing his course, became a prominent physician. This year he was appointed dean of the Howard Medical School of Howard University. Dr. Adams is a young man. We could mention several other cases like this one; all cases which show that we have members of the music profession, of which, we should feel proud. Most of those now in the music business will remain in it as long as they can, while others will perhaps, after having used music as a stepping stone, go into other lines of endeavor. Whatever may be the intention of those now in music, I would suggest that they give to the profession the best they have in ability and character, and thereby keep music out of the slime and murk. * * * Last week must have been "Old Home Week." We met several of our old acquaintances who have made other towns their present homes. We ran into Alice Thompson, the popular drummer who once played at the Lafayette Theatre. She has made Chicago her home. She was happy to be in New York but said she misses Chicago and "W." * * * Another former New Yorker who was looking 'em over on Seventh Avenue was Leonard Smith. We haven't seen the "boy wonder" in many a day. Leonard is with Theda Deas' Revue. He calls Chicago his home. If you don't know it, Leonard is a pianist. * * * Clarence Harris is in town on business. He is here trying to convince Benny Shaw that there is plenty of money to be made up State around Albany. According to the amount of work around these diggins we would advise Benny to go to Albany, if only for a hot minute. * * * We hope that Theodore McRae has learned his lesson. It certainly pays to be on the level. Henry Minton, sergeant-at-arms of Local 802 of the musicians' union, loaned McRae a saxophone so that he might earn a few dollars. This, Minton did at a sacrifice. When Minton sought to recover his instrument, he found McRae as elusive as an eel. The least McRae should have done was to have been truthful to Minton about the saxophone. The only way Minton could recover the instrument was to bring charges against McRae in the union. McRae at first ignored the union, but he soon learned that he was playing with fire. He was not only suspended by the local body, but was fined by the national body. McRae must realize by now how costly it is to deal unfairly with his fellow man. *** Poor Billy Lynch! Everytime he tries to be a regular fellow and help somebody out by engaging a band for them, he gets it "in the neck." This time Billy hired some men for Duke Ellington to play in New Jersey. Something went wrong and the New Jersey folks would not pay off. Now the boys have Billy "up on charges" in the union. Billy's only out is to bring Duke down to the union. However Duke is a regular fellow and we feel certain that he will "come through" with the money. * * * Pancho Saparo, that eminent banjo artist and entertainer, leaves shortly for Narragansette Pier as a member of Arthur Gibbs' "Running Wild" orchestra. Mr. Saparo recently entertained for Laurette Taylor, the well known actress, at an exclusive party. The Saparo was a tremendous, sensational hit. (Paris papers please copy.) * * * Lou Fletcher, Carl White. George Jackson and Bernardin Brown left this week for Bretton Woods. New Hampshire, where they will till an engagement for the summer at the Mt. Washington Hotel. The boys will return sometime late in September. * * * Did you ever know of a musicians' club to become such a favorite rendezvous for the boys as the Rhythm Club? Bert Hall, the president, is to be congratulated on the success of his organization. * * * "Kaiser" Marshall formerly the drummer with Fletcher Henderson's orchestra is now a member of Leroy Smith's orchestra which at present is playing at the Hudson Theatre with "Hot Chocolates." *** What happened to Chick Webb? He had a band up at the Cotton Club recently and now it seems as if Chick "faw down and go boom." Cliff Jackson and his "Crazy Cats" are now holding fort at the Cotton Club. THE ROUND UP THE pleasure of eating guides the dietetic habits of most people. Taste has been the dictating power for generations, complicated dishes were designed to tickle the palate. The body is long suffering. It is capable of resisting all sorts of evils, excesses, etc. But the time always comes when you begin to pay the penalties and they are inavariably severe. Page Twelve THE pleasure of eating gu people. Taste has been th tions, complicated dishes were The body is long suffer all sorts of evils, excesses, e But the time always com penalties and they are inava Like the season of the year that the American cowpuncher and the Argentine Gaucho refer to as "The Round Up," so the God of Nature exacts the same of these bodies of ours that play house to the soul of man. We all want happiness! We want the associated ecstasies that cast their frequent spells over us! But in searching for these treasures we must be mindful of this BROKEN TRAIL great truth: "It is far more dangerous to overeat, than to overdrink." The battlefields of the world hold fewer dead the result of shot and shrapnel, than the doughy knife and fork bear testimony in the cemeteries of the nations. When one eats beyond the demands of the body, the pleasure derived from it is not only questionable but destructive. One uses up an enormous amount of needed energy. ```markdown ``` Faulty Lubrication ONE of the most unfortunate things about faulty lubrication is that it creeps upon you unawares. Scientific research shows that practically everybody suffers from it at different periods; that a great majority of people suffer from this unnatural condition in some mild degree all the time. Too often it is simply neglect or its symptoms attributed to other causes. When allowed to continue faulty lubrication grows into constipation, then as the system becomes poisoned, sick headaches, dullness of mind, irritability, and the greatest of all enemies to the human family, hardening of the arteries takes place. And all because most of us are too darn lazy to hold a "ROUND UP" at least once a month, in order to find out just what is wrong with ourselves and causing doctors to treat us almost as nitwits because of the brainless suggestions we offer them for our SUPPOSED ILLS. Primitive man did not suffer form one tenth of the ills that we do to-day, and all because there was a decided disposition on his part to live as close to nature as possible. ★★ The Thrill Habit man positively nuts if he does not go in for a half dozen or more excesses. Joyrides behind the wheel of a high powered motor hitting around seventy miles on a slippery road is merely play for half grown up cadets in the opinion of the overrouged, skywaisted damsel of the century. Bootleg poison in hip flasks that bear the mark of Tiffany's or Black-Starr and Frost; incessant smoking of anything from a Cremo (apologies to Alfred McCann, who indorses this --- brand); to a scented Fatima; and the damnable drug habit round out the list of discussable excesses that are as much a part of Society on this continent,—as the very life giving ozone we draw upon. * * * A FEW days ago I had a talk with a young man of thirty-five at an institution where I teach Physical Culture and the care of the body to discriminating folk. His story reminded me of that aged-old aphorism that "a man is either his own physician or a fool at forty." In substance it was this: He could outbox and outwrestle me in the days when we were both fairly good athletes at College. In fact I always rated him slightly better than myself in practically every test that an athlete essays. I am going ot call him George Hill. A mighty fine specimen of physical hardiness he was, and the most invulnerably healthy man I have known. I envied that man as I have few humans on this earth and all because of this startling yet truthful fact. He achieved wonderful physical proportions despite the fact that he constantly violated every common sense hyricene law which Nature had framed for our guidance. He was the envy of the campus and largely because his dissipations apparently exacted no toll from him, while we for transgressions along the primrose path paid for it heavily. If I sat up late consuming indigestible foods. I paid for it the following morning with a furred tongue and general sluggishness accompanied by faulty lubrication. But Hill,—he could gouge himself like all outdoors cramming his system with egregiously non-assimilable edibles and potables, with no more after-effect than a rock-python has after putting in her winter's supply of Kangaroos and other hybrid specie of the animal kingdom. I concluded that at last I had come face to face with the one exception of the rule: the one man who could slap Nature in the face and escape unscathed. * * * THEN one morning just after his thirtieth year, he walked into a downtown office building and after waiting a few moments for the lift to descend, he vaulted up the long line of steps to his suite on the third floor.At the top, he fell dead. Nature is not a lovingly sloppy mother, cuddling and crooning over her children and smilingly forgiving them their manifold sins against her and letting them start out afresh. She never forgets. I think she is kindest to those of us whom she punishes promptly; and that she is cruelest to those whom she allows to go on thinking for years that they can fool her—such men as my friend George Hill whom I have told you about. There is nothing about the Ten Commandments which a backward child would not have sense enough to live up to. The Ten Commandments form the simplest code in existence—and its one punitive measure is: it breaks those who break them. * * * Health Rules Simple THE rules of health are almost as simple, and quite as hard for most of us to stick to. No two systems are 100 per cent alike. Yet to 99 per cent of mankind, there are foods and drinks which O'MALLEY By Alvin J. Moses : are splendidly helpful; and other foods and drinks which are not. I am writing this for the 99 per cent. Everyone must learn what their own physique can thrive on, and what it will reject. Some folks can drink black coffee without any ill effects,—while such a procedure would sicken, me and leave me in worse shape than two full cups of pre-war whiskey (try and get it) would leave a moderate drinking man. Cocoa is the delight of your neighbor, while it leaves you in a bilious state. One of the most important health laws and seemingly to most of us unimportant, is that of bathing. After strenuous exercise consisting of a six mile hike or a cross country run, the natural tendency is ```markdown ``` to turn on the cold water tap of the shower-bath. In such a case one deluges their overheated body and hard-exercised heart with a series of shocks capable of killing an Elephant or a Rhinoceros. I don't maintain that the water should be tepid; but neither should it be cold to a razor edge causing one to gasp and resulting in injurious hammering of the heart. The gasp means nervous shock to the body that any physician will inform you is of inestimable harm, the hammering means that the heart is participating in the shock. You can take a bath cold enough to make your skin tingle slightly and to give you a glow under the hard rubbing of the crash towel without having the water cold enough to jar the heart or the nerves. It is also advisable not to take a bath under two hours after repasting, nor go into a swimming pool or the ocean after a meal within the same period of time. Quite a number of Athletes with whom I frolic throughout the year, tell me that they can dive into cold water immediately after a hearty dinner with no after effects. In all seriousness they think they are telling the truth,—when as a matter of fact, nothing is farther from it. Little do they realize that the blood is drawn from the brain, stomachward, process of digestion. Why its routine so rudely, by plunge-surely it cannot you! When God shall make every human face and every human voice and every human brain precisely alike, then perhaps He will consent to make every human system just like every other human system, in its needs and abilities. Till then, find out by long and careful experiment what is the right food and exercise and sleeping period for you; and don't bother a tinker's darn about what the other fellow is doing. * * * Apoplexy—the Vulture LIKE the traditional bird of ill omen, the fear of apoplexy is nearly as great among us humans as that of tuberculosis. Regardless of what one has suffered at the hands of a traitor- O. ous friend,—the unkindest thing you could wish upon him would be to fall victim to this insidious and all-consuming malady. All-consuming I say, because it leaves one more or less shattered; apprehensive. What occurs when the "Stroke" comes on, is the breaking of a blood vessel in the brain, a break like that of an overburdened, brittle, worn out rubber tube or hose. There is flooding of and pressure upon part of the brain by the escaped blood, perhaps also rupture of some of the brain tissue. As it is usual in apoplexy, for a certain artery in the brain to rupture, the usual aftermath is a paralysis of one side of the body and often the same side of the face. If one will begin immediately to remedy one's mode of living and conduct, one may escape death with nothing more than a sinister warning. If one does not begin at once to make amends, the final curtain will be rung down as certain and irrevocably in the not too distant future, as it will be rung down on the final day of doom. No earthly physician or sanatorium rest cure can save you after apoplexy has gained a toe-hold. Most folks refer to apoplexy as a disease. Rather it is the result of degenerative changes a very prominent Medico informed THE INTER-STATE TATTLER us, who is a world famous authority on the subject and is handsomely retired. Those who work hard, physically or mentally, very often have the hardened arteries and high blood pressure leading to apoplexy. Still those who live sedentarily also may have the trouble. A combination of sedentary life and labor seems to tend strongly towards its development. Hence it is common in shoemakers and tailors. The cramped condition of these artisans' bodies during long hours of work, interferes with the circulation of the blood, bringing on the compalint. ```markdown ``` The greatest show on earth for humans,far greater than any of Buffalo Bill's Rodeos or Barnum and Bailey's big top now operated by the Ringing Brothers; is the "ROUND UP" they ought to have in their lives at least once a month though it ought to be far more often. The joy of knowing that you are absolutely physically fit without kidding yourself on the subject, because folks meet you and tell you, you are the picture of health. Like the rosy tinted apple that falls off the tree and is so tempting and delightful to the eye,—inside of your massive frames the worm of disintegration ever lurks. Death! is inevitable,—none but fools try to devise ways and means to escape it. The desire to live on happily with every chance of prolonging our lives to a ripe old age, should interest everyone possessed with a normal complex. 'Ponce De Leon', intrepid, dashing explorer of another century, sought for the mythical elixirs that would prolong life in the well-springs of tropical Florida. The great Spaniard didn't realize that the only "Fountain of Youth" we will ever drink from is in obeying the inexorable laws of nature. Be mindful of the need of "The Roundup", my Metaphysical friend, in your philosophy of life. Eddie Tolan Loses To Percy Williams VANCOUVER, B. C., July 13 (A P) A crowd of 20,000 persons saw Percy Williams, Olympic champion, break the tape today for the 100-yard dash of the British Columbia athletic carnival two inches ahead of Eddie Tolan, Negro flash of the University of Michigan. The winning time was 9 4-5 seconds. Accompanying the feat, the slim, dark haired youth of Vancouver, sprained a muscle in the groin, but it was not considered serious. Frank Wykoff of Los Angeles was third after setting the pace for the first fifty ards.

WELL, well folks,—and this is Atlantic City—the place where one never stops going, seeing and being seen, meeting and being met. Activity here is incessant and that's putting it mildly! Graduation and school a thing of the past; the June weddings, few in number and over; the youngsters visiting grandparents and at camp; society can at last turn its attention wholeheartedly to play. And play it does. Tennis, swimming, dancing, visiting, and cards are favorite pastimes, with now and then a moonlight ride on the waves of the big Atlantic. These constitute the activity of our visitors and make Atlantic City "The place to go for a good time." We see, every day, people of interest as the season advances. We go to places and meet old friends and see new ones. Who are they d'ya ask? Oh well, here goes: Mr. and Mrs. H. Daniels entertained over the week Mrs. M.

D. My mother objects to my boy friend on account of his color. She admits that he is charming in every other way. Would you give him up just to. please such a whim? Ans.: Prejudice is a terrible monster and they who engage in this extrava- gant pasttime often find it returned as 2 bomerang. I do not think that I would give up a perfectly charming friend because he was not born with fair skin, everything else being equal. Your mother may have some other rea- son for her objection which she does not care to disclose. henee seeks to turn you away from him via color, Suppose you investigate and then de- cide. x oe x A.M. I have a girl friend that I like very much but she is so utterly selfish. She is always trying to make every- body do the way that pleases her. We have been friends for a long time, but her actions are beginning to get on my nerves. Shall I stop palling with her and seek another more unselfish? Ans.: It is not so good, my dear, changing friends. The Irish say: “Bet- ter the Divil ye know than one ye don’t!” So, I should try to show her in a diplomatic way how to make her- self more agreeable. You could cite her examples of other affable people whom both of you know. x oe & J. H. How can I break off from a per- son for whom I care. a lot. but who evidently does not crre for me, else why his eruelity? Ans.: The best way I know to forget anything is to engage in some very in- teresting work; something that you have wanted to do for a long time. Keep at it: if not physically, mentally. In time another person—perhaps your jdeal—will appear. * 8 x Questions by those in love. out of love and otherwise, addressed to the T. I.

Constance Perdue Is Second, Laura Watson, Third And Diana Barrett, Fourth, As The Contest Enters Seventh Week. Five Weeks Now Left. THE biggest and most startling surprise of the Tattler's big "Convention Queen" contest took place last week when the tall, fascinating standard bearer of the Lucretia Social Club, came from out of the ruck to lead the field. Miss Elizabeth Elzy, with the aid of her aggressive organization and the determined and untiring efforts of their great little president, Miss Christole H. Williams, polled a grand total of 146,000 votes for the contest, up to this week. And to think, this regal staturesque Miss of the commanding height, entered the contest, four weeks after it had started. It all happened by chance. That is, Miss Williams and several members of the club came in to put an article in the Tattler. At that time the contest had been under way fully three weeks. They were interested and asked for details. Then, having gotten all the information about what was what, they went away to vote on the matter at their next meeting. The following week they returned and entered Miss Elzy. My, my, and look at the pace they are setting.

But if Miss Elzy and her club members hope to triumph, they'll have to carry on to the very last minute. There are at least a dozen THE DANCE OF THE WEEK DOROTHY CONYERS, who is way down in the contest but may surprise the public with a last minute effort. girls striving might and main to win the big cash prize and the honor of being the Tattler's "Convention Queen" in Atlantic City during the Elks' Convention beginning August 25th. The Misses Constance Perdue, Laura Watson, Diana Barrett, Mildred Pinder, of Brooklyn, Margaret Roberts, of Atlantic City, Harriet Morris, Ruth Holloway, Marie Jackson, of Jersey City, Cleo Sewell, Lethia Walker Margaret Robinson, Vivian Brantley, Josephine Graham and Doris Vasscelles, all have excellent possibilities. What Miss Elzy and her aids did last week, any one of the abovementioned girls can do this coming week. Then there is always the possibility of some young lady way down in the list, suddenly becoming inspired and by dint of hard work, overtaking and passing the leaders. Nobody appreciates the value of relentless effort any more than Miss Christole Williams or Cris as she is affectionately known to her club members and a host of friends. Yes, this little lady of Amazonian fortitude will be striving to the very last minute. And if Miss Elzy is not crowned the "Queen," it will not be the fault of Miss Williams. She fully realizes that this is a contest with fully a dozen or more young ladies seeking the highest honors. To win means that the winner must work. The contest has a little over five weeks longer to run. It is still anybodys' race, as not one of the leaders, not even Miss Elzy, has a safe lead. Anything may happen between now and the 17th of August. There still remain forty days, 40 valuable working days; for the determined contestants to garner enough votes to win one of the big cash prizes. Some girls will be discouraged and give up. But these girls were defeated before they even entered the contest. They failed to understand that effort and effort alone brings results. Without effort there can be but one result, that is defeat. Only the "Workers Win." But the courageous and wise girl will not be discouraged with a "No." She will bravely smile and be wise enough to expect some refusals. Yet the more people she asks, the better her chances of victory. Rules of 'Convention Queen' Contest The contest started officially Monday, May 13th and will end Saturday. August 17, 1929.
