The Movement Gains Great Momentum CHAPTER SIX THE acquirement of the Yarmouth added greatly to the prestige of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Negroes from every quarter of the United States began to rally to the movement. The spirit of prosperity and hope engendered by the artificial war-time prosperity and the world wide awakening of a spirit of revolt and unrest, all helped to swell the ranks of the Garvey movement. Negroes still had plenty of money and were easily persuaded to part with it on most every occasion and for every reason or none at all. On all sides were shrewd Negroes gathering in this money on the pretext of solving this and that problem. It was natural for the Garveyites to get their share of this ready cash. Most fortuitously an incident occurred that made Garvey dearer to the hearts of his followers and banished what little sense of discretion either he or they might have possessed. In October 1919 Garvey was shot by a Negro named Tyler who immediately committed suicide. Garvey soon recovered but he and his associates took full advantage of the incident. This was a good and justifiable piece of statesmanship. The Black Star Line was in need of more money and no better thing could have happened than this shooting to cause the worshippers of the strenuous Marcus to "Say It With Bucks." Several hundred thousand dollars worth of stock were sold. Garvey emissaries traveled to all of the important cities and towns, staging rallies, organizing new branches, selling stock at five dollars a share. Fake Photographs The "Negro World" circulation had now reached the 50.000 mark and was going to all parts of the world where Negroes lived. It had become the most powerful factor in bringing in new members and making new friends. Though still printed by white men, despite the large number of Negro printers right in Harlem, it spread the gospel of Blacks for Blacks, and denounced all who would not agree with Garvey's views. The buildings the Garvey movement acquired were never very impressive in appearance. The Garvey headquarters was probably the dingiest building in Harlem and Liberty Hall on 138th Street was a long, squat, one-story structure that closely resembled a coke oven or a garage. Obviously Negroes in far off places would not be carried away with enthusiasm when they saw pictures of these buildings after hearing so much talk about the greatness of the U. N. I. A. To get around this picture difficulty as well as to send stronger propaganda to some sections of the world than to others, the Garveyites hit upon the expediency of printing different editions of the Negro World for different loclities. Those Negroes who lived at great distances as in Panama, South America and West Africa, received Negro Worlds containing photographs of gorgeous skyscrapers tickling the clouds and captioned "Headquarters of the U. N. I. A." and "Liberty Hall," while the wildest claims about the size and power of the organization were made in big type. This is the sort of thing that fake real estate firms put out to bring in suckers and, as usual, it worked beautifully. Of course propagandists always exaggerate and, as has been stated, it is probably justifiable when the cause is righteous. But it often acts as a boomerang, as it did in this case. For the time being, however, it helped the work along and really was no more reprehensible than the propaganda of the clergy who paint glorious pictures of life hereafter in Heaven or horrible pictures of torture hereafter in Hell, while knowing absolutely nothing of either. Nor was it any more reprehensible than the practice of politicians promising everything to the electorate before election and giving nothing afterwards. THE YARMOUTH FIASCO In the meanwhile preparations were being made for the first voyage of the newly-acquired ship, The Yarmouth. Since it was going to be largely an advertisement stunt, Garvey insisted on having the boat fully manned by Negroes from the captain to the stokers. While this was carrying out the policy of exalting the black man, it was certainly not a good business move to hire an inexperienced captain and mates. There were very few Negroes capable of being captain of a steamship or licensed as such. This was not the fault of the Negroes. They just hadn't had the opportunity. But a Negro crew there must be regardless of the wisdom of the step. And so a Negro crew was obtained. It might be all right for white men of training and experience to print the Negro World and evidently Garvey thought it was all right to hire a Jew, as his publicity man. The followers of the movement couldn't see that but they could see white men treading the decks of a Negro ship, and they might not understand. So, despite the fact that it was contrary to business principles, an all-Negro crew was obtained. --- Marcus Garvey: An Analysis By SAMUEL I. BROOKS Incidentally, in reference to the white publicity man, it is interesting to note that at one time he attended a reception and dance at Liberty Hall with his wife and was terribly distressed because some of the Garvey followers asked her to dance with them. And yet he was Garvey's publicity man! The Negro captain and the Negro crew, resplendent in their uniforms, strutted the deck of the Yarmouth and along the streets of Harlem while Garvey's officials went around hunting a paying cargo for the ship's first trip to the West Indies. As luck would have it, National Prohibition was to go into effect on January 16th, 1920, and certain interests were anxious to move a large amount of whiskey from the country before the land succumbed to the alcoholic blues. They finally located the Yarmouth and made arrangements for her to take the cargo of strong spirits to Cuba. Marcus Garvey His Plans . . . His Daring . . . His Energy Had his Liberian Project gone through, that country would have been the rallying place for all of the dissatisfied Native leaders in Africa. READ OF THIS . . . AND MORE in this issue of the most sensational story Harlem has thirsted for in years. There was just time to get the cargo loaded and on the high seas before midnight on the fateful day when the United States was supposed to go dry. The loading was very hastily and very poorly done. When the Yarmouth got to sea, the buffeting of the waves without and of the whiskey within, broke crates and bottles. Everybody on board, it seems, proceeded to get "tight." Garvey accuses the Captain himself of getting his skin full of "Old Green River." Sailors and stokers forgot their duty and proceeded to reduce the cargo by consumption. Pandemonium and mutiny reigned. The captain could not force obedience. The Yarmouth, being nothing but an old hulk that should have been in the junk yard, sprung a leak and its engines stopped. Temporary emergency sails made of blankets, sheets or anything available had to be pressed into service. At last in desperation, the wireless operator sent out that classic message: "SOUSE. Save Us We Are Drinking!" The Coast Guard vessels came to the rescue and saved the crew, ship and the cargo from a watery grave and took it into Norfolk. Later the Yarmouth, still under its inefficient Negro captain, limped out to sea again and after numerous viccissitudes finally staggered with relief into the harbor of Havana. SOME VERY BRIGHT SPOTS Partisans of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. usually grow hot under the collar when facts such as the above are recited. They have an idea that there should be no criticism of their chief no matter what his failings. They forget that if there is much to condemn that is not the fault of the condemner. If Garvey had been more of an executive and less of a braggart and meglomaniac; he could have made more of the admittedly great opportunity he had. Let us now turn, however, to two very bright spots in the history of the Garvey movement. I refer to the all- HARLEM'S DUTY Demand from Chain Stores and other Trusts who exploit us - equal patronage uureservedly. DISMOND, Managing Editor. Edgeoombe 6661. Entered as second class Vol. V. No. 32. Friday, Aug. 9, 1929 Negro conventions and the Liberian missions. One cannot praise either too highly. These conventions of the Nero peoples of the world, staged each August in New York City, contributed greatly to the awakening of the Negroes everywhere and made them realize more than ever before that a Negro is a Negro no matter what his nationality. Of course the great mass of Negroes do not now and never have believed it, but a sufficiently large minority did and do believe it enough to enable Garvey to gather a representative and international group of delegates. These conventions and the pomp and circumstance with which they were and are surrounded helped tremendously to increase the pride and confidence of Negroes in their ability to do things. This bringing together of representative men from the Eastern and Western Hemispheres was one of Marcus Garvey's finest conceptions, for without exchange of views between members of the race from widely separated localities, how is it possible to have any real appreciation of the Negro problem in its international aspect? Of course the International Negro conventions held by Marcus Garvey were not the first of their kind by any means. Garveyites have maintained that they were but they are wrong again. The first Pan-American Conference was held in London in 1899 with a group of delegates as representative as those Garvey gathered. Nevertheless that fact does not detract one iota from the worth of Marcus Garvey's effort. His conventions were crystallizations of the ambitions and hopes and determination of enslaved and oppressed blacks; beacon lights illuminating the upward path of the black man. THE LIBERIAN MISSIONS It would be grossly unfair to Marcus Garvey to neglect to relate his brilliant effort to cooperate with the Liberian Government. His idea, in brief, was to help the West African Republic develop its country with the brain and brawn of American Negroes; to build up a homeland for the oppressed Negro peoples in Africa, using Liberia as a nucleus. The first step was obviously to send a mission to Liberia to look over the situation and confer with the Liberian officials. The next step would be to send over trained Negroes, tools and all of the various necessaries for setting up a modern, sanitary colony. Both of these things Marcus Garvey did to his eternal credit. The two missions were sent. They came to agreement with the Liberian officials and a cargo of tools and accessories were sent to that country. It looked as if Garvey was really going to succeed in establishing a colony in Liberia when the corrupt Liberian officials double-crossed him. There have been many attempted explanations of their sudden change of front. Garvey has blamed DuBois who had visited Liberia around the same time. The real reason for the change of front by the Liberian officials was probably the pressure of the neighboring foreign powers who greatly feared the planting of a colony of intelligent, capable and fearless Garveyites in Liberia. These foreign powers, France and England, had for some time been considerably alarmed by the popularity of Garveyism and the cry "Africa for the Africans." There was considerable unrest already in their colonies and they didn't want any more. They knew the planting of a colony of American and West Indian Negroes in Liberia would mean that, considering the backwardness of the America-Liberians, the Garveyites would soon control the government of the country. France and England preferred to have Liberia weak, so they took steps to nip Garvey's scheme in the bud by bringing pressure to bear on the Liberian government. Some of the Liberian officials, on the other hand, claim that Marcus Garvey intended, once he gained a foothold in the country, to bring about a revolution and set himself up as ruler. Probably they are right. Who knows? This much is certain: If Garvey's Liberian project had gone through, that country would have been a rallying place for all of the dissatisfied native leaders in Africa and the center of all revolutionary activities. What this would mean can be easily imagined when it is considered that the African colonies of England and France are of vast extent and contain very few white troops but millions of blacks. Any concerted uprising would undoubtedly be successful and these imperialist countries would lose the rich lands they have stolen. No wonder they fought against Garvey. No wonder they feared Garvey. His plans, his daring, his energy, his statesmanship filled their hearts with fear. While they outwardly scoffed at his wild claims and his absurd grotesqueries, in their hearts they had a deadly fear of his really constructive policies: (Note: Next week Mr. Brooks will tell of the growth and development of the Garvey opposition which culminated in his trial and incarceration.

Philip Randolph, president and general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, spoke at the summer school of Bryn Mawr College, on "The Negro in Organized Labor," Saturday, August 3rd. After the address, questions were asked for one half hour, touching on every aspect of the subject. The colored girl students at Bryn Mawr participated in the discussion and showed great interest in the question of the Negro Worker in Organized Labor. "It was interesting to note that a few years ago, colored girls were not admitted to Bryn Mawr, at all, and that the change in policy was largely due to the white girl students in summer school as well as agitation from the colored Y. W. C. A. branches," says Mr. Randolph. The Bryn Mawr faculty was apparently interested in the colored student group.

NEW JERSEY PREPARES FOR THE NATIONAL TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP Bordertown, N. J., August 3rd. The tournament committee of the New Jersey Tennis Association, Inc., held a meeting here today and completed plans for the handling of the National Championships to be played here during the week of August 19th to 24th. Various sub-committees were named to co-operate with the general committee of the American Tennis Association. The entertainment for the week was one of the principal matters taken up at this meeting, and after discussion, the plans for card parties, dances, lawn fetes was adopted. It is felt that these are essential so that the players, as well as those visiting, might become better acquainted. The annual reception to the players will be held on Friday Evening that week. From the advance reservations and entries, it is believed this year's tournament will surprise any previous tournament. Players are advised to send their entries in at once, as they must be received at least 48 hours before the time of play. Visitors and players who have not made their reservations for accommodations for the week of the tournament, should make them at once.

And this is as it should be. When an individual has so little race pride and the audience even less, we deserve to be trampled upon and kicked about as so much trash.

No wonder white people shorn and despair us. Some fifteen years ago, I recall how a black face comedian was driven from the Latayatta Theatre stage for a similar monologue about colored woman. The audience, an intelligent one, was quick to react the superiors cast upon its women and acted accordingly. If memory is not at fault, I believe that a celebrated English actor was the guest of the theatre at the time. He came in response to a request to revive a presentation of Othello by a colored dramatic company in honor of William Shakespeare. That audience at least, won the respect of the great English actor and the prominent white man and woman of his party, including city officials and representatives of the press. I have it from very good authority, that this Mr. Goodofer of the Athamena Theatre is very particular that nothing that might be offensive to his colored patrons is ever shown on the screen or in the dramatic sketches. If that is true, and I have reasons to believe that it is, he certainly should be just as particular about the work of his comrades. True, the hatter class of people do not attend the local theatres; yet that's no excuse to permit this degending hovum to prevail.

HARLEM - NIGHT-LIFE HARLEM NIGHTS THE CLUB SMALLS PARADISE ROSEBUD BAMBOO INN HOUSE JAPANESE TEA ROOM I WENT to Point Pleasant, down on the Jersey Coast for the weekend. Had a look at the wife and a nice rest. Only two things there marred my enjoyment—the flies and mosquitoes. After my arrival on Saturday afternoon, I was supposed to take a walk on the beach, but instead, I sat on the porch and read. Monday I was to go crabbing; I sat on the porch and read. Tuesday morning, I missed the early train, so I had to sit on the porch and read. And now that I am late for press, I guess the "ole man" will sit on my head until I am red. Hope for me and watch the papers for a report of another murder. I didn't get to Smalls' this week on account of my trip to the country. In fact, there are quite a few places that were eliminated from my usual round. But I hate to miss Smalls', Connie's, Lenox Club, the Nest or Saratoga because there is no better fun to be had in Harlem than at those places. Never mind, though. I'll catch up on lost pleasure in the next couple of weeks. --- But while I was gone, the "Her" put one over on me. She covered Eddie's place, Senior Club's Matinee and the Lotus, for me, so to prove that she thinks she's a porter—er. I mean reporter, here's what she has to say: * * * For those who haven't been to Eddie's "Paradise," here is a description: Mr. Small must have dropped a mint of money redecorating his place. "Paradise" is a fitting name. Such color scheme! Only the heavenly rainbow dares to compare. The murals are done in the futuristic (or is it modernistic?) designs; soft uniquely shaded lights; colonnades decorated in the same "listic" style as the murals. All in all, 'tis Harlem's most beautiful rendezvous for night life habitues. * * * The Revue is sharp, peppy, classy and many other descriptive adjectives. I can't remember names, very well, but if any names are left out, it is only because my memory falls me. Among those that I retained are Brown and Brown, the mamma-pappa, love-dovey team; the inimitable Myra Johnson; the gorgeous Eva Bradley such eyes!); Cole and Wade, gracious me!; Warren and Gill (sharp, no end); and each and every one of the chorines, who possess forms so—oh my! my! my! * * * Aside from being a lovely place to eat the Lotus Tea Garden has offered its patrons an added bit of enjoyment. In the rear of the already delightful dining room, a Palm Garden has been provided where one can become completely lost from the humdrum affairs of ordinary daily routine, and feel as though he or she were at one of the choicest of summer resorts. No kiddin'! 'Tis a lovely place for ya. Do come over. * * * One would think that a "reporter" leads a sad life since he or she may have to "go places" alone. But not so if you chance to "cover" a matinee of the Senior Club's at Smalls' Paradise. Harlem's most beautiful night club gives entree to those of us who can't pay the night prices during a Sunday afternoon from three to nine. The past Sunday was ideal for "matineeing," hence many a couple wended its way to Seventh Avenue and 135th Street.

Kid Chocolate Fights Al Singer, August 29 SPORT Writers never tire of relating the greatness of that ring paragon JOE GANS, loved "Old Master". It was the immortal 'TAD' who dubbed Gans with the title that will last throughout the ages, and now both of these geniuses lie peacefully under old mother earth. Bob Edgren, for years an invective writer where the race boxer has been concerned generally, spreading the 'salve' only on a chosen few who "belonged" in his opinion, made the following comment on Gans and Benny Leonard in a recent syndicated article that we print verbatim for fear that you might have overlooked it: THE CASE OF JOE GANS There was the celebrated case champion, Gans had no lightweig there wasn't anyone left to give his fought Joe Walcott for the wetter title, and although it was called a draw there were plenty of spectators who always claimed afterward that Gans won by the proverbial mile, When But Nelson was claiming the "white lightweight championship" and Tex Rickard popped into existence as a light promoter at Goldfield, New, and offered a stack of 20 gold pieces for a Guns-Nelson light, But's manager, Bill Nolan, figured Guns couldn't possibly make the weight. He knew Guns had been weighing 142 in training. Probably Bill's idea was to call the match off and claim the title if Guns failed to make the weight. But two days before the light Nolan heard that Guns was at weight. He had made 133 pounds stripped. Nolan didn't want Nelson to light a Guns in shape. He at once declared that something was wrong and he would take Nelson out of Nevada. Gold field was in the middle of a desert, connected with the outside world only by automobile stage. Wickard and his friends took Nolan to the edge of town and showed him some old houses lying in the sand. "You can't get away from here," he told Nolan. "No stage will carry you. If you try to go afont after a while somebody will find your hopes out in the desert. There isn't any water. Anyway the boys are sort of hot on seeing this fight. If you try to pull your man out. I'm afraid somebody will get so disappointed they'll just shoot you and Nelson full of holes. We'd be sorry, of course, but I reason that would happen. You better go on with the fight. Convinced, Nolan said he'd go on with the light. But he'd insist upon one condition. Guns must weigh in at 133 pounds ringside, in his full light ing rig, including shoes, for weighing in stripped. Rickard didn't like to ask that of Joe. He knew what a tough time does had gone through making the weights. But Gans said he'd do it. He had to hake and boil and go without water until time to weigh in, ringside, just before the light. He didn't have any chance to drink a quart of beef broth, a lot of water, eat a big steak and baked potatoes, like Langham. He went in with his tongue as dry as a piece of blotting paper, and his dried out system trying frantically to snap up the little water he dried down just before fighting. Guns whipped Nelson in spite of being constantly fouled and wan on a foul after over forty rounds of lighting under the desert sun. But it was only a parchment replica of Joe Gans that finished the fight and crawled out of Goldfield next day. Gans went into consumption, was beaten twice by Nelson when he had nothing left but his skill and his dumbness heart and did not long after out in the Arizona desert. LEGEND HAD TROUBLES Benny Leonard used to have a lot of trouble making the lightweight drum. He would did it, but sometimes he had to. They used to hike and hold Benny down as far as they could, and there'd still be a pound or a half pound too much. Then they'd rub that weight on his foot and ankles almost until it off. The Gibbons came to his defence and most fighters by making weight for the McPerland. Packey had no but he came back once to fight. Gibbons, demanding a weight, knew Mike wouldn't make A ALVIN J. MORES of Joe Gans, greatest lightweight fight for a long time because of a fight. He fought welters. He without losing his strength. He fooled Mike. He outguessed him in that. I was holding the 82,000 stakes in that fight, and visited both fighters in their quarters the day before to arrange the payoff right after the match. Parkey was joyful. "I outsmarted Mike," he checked. "He'll never make the weight or it he does he'll be sure picking." At Gibbons' quarterly I found every Beloved "Old Master" who was the greatest lightweight fighter that ever breathed, and is still "live copy" for the present generation of sport scribes. ```markdown ``` (1) body in distress. Going into the dressing room I saw Mike lying on a cot in a corner, crying hysterically while Tommy and his trainers looked on, glum and helpless. I quickly found out what was the matter. Mike was on the edge of a complete breakdown. He was burned out, physically and mentally, by the struggle to make that impossible low weight. He had come down from a middle to a wetter, in hot New York summer weather. He had run miles, morning and night on the beach, in heavy sweaters, and all that day had baked in a steam room. He was so dry that his skin was hot and brittle. He was a human cinder. He went the distance with McFarland, but he was through as a fighter from that night on. Frank Erie, a great lightweight champion, rulled himself as a fighter by making fantastic weights. He weighed in at 120 to light Terry McGovern. Further champion, and in mid summer heat burned out so far that he went to 120 pounds and couldn't come up again. He was a clinder, like Gibbons, and Terry knocked him out after one round brilliant flurry. "Kid" Chocolate-Singer Al Binger and Kid Chocolate will meet under the umbrella of the Malt and Rumage Hardy Corporation at the Palm Hammers, Thursday evening, Aug. 20, with a $200,000 gain implied for. The loan is lined to go twelve months. This meeting, held to be the new man's "natural" match, has been held forward to for more time. Only after much deliberation and the brass per former and the Polish handweight agree to put together, Roger hold out for more time for a fifteen minute match. The Polish boy wanted it only ten minutes. Hence the compromise on twelve. By Alvin J. Moses All of this was decided on after the serious question of weight had been taken care of. The weight adjustment as it stands calls for 125.34 pounds at two quarter of the afternoon of the light. And it was a long hard struggle arriving at that decision. Singer wanted 129 as the number. Chocolate stood out for 128. Manager Brown of the Garden outfit suggested the obvious split at 125%. Chocolate's manager didn't like that. So the owners were argued on for a while with the present result. Routh Knockout Helped Al Fane who have been awaiting for some five months to get a look at these two in action need worry no longer. The big question of weight has at last been settled. When Singer some time ago offered to share his figure to 12s, the Kid who was sealing 122, said "nothing doing." The knockout Singer received from Ignoo Fernandez didn't help the pro- A pocket of this night at all And it was only when Andrew Pounts took the count in the second round of it but the with the Bronze dog that I began to look up for finger. So now the light is in the not so far offing and Bloody Fatha will meet another group of legal law a Finger does the training there. Bill Chocolate will get in trim at Gw. Wilton's camp at Orangeborough, N. Y. The papers were signed and stated yesterday in Manager Brunel's office, with Bill Currey Garden President looking them over. The papers say the weight shall be 120 pounds, according to common rules, but the private weight agreement goes with totals up for it. One of the most interesting angles on the coming battle between the two youngsters is the fact that both were developed by the same outfit for both Finger and Chocolate first saw the light of popularity at the St. Andrews Arena under the outage of St. Martin Luther McMahon. So that their due to fame has been from the same source and date approximately the same time. Tuskegee Plans Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 7th.

(The two letters following are to me rather interesting and so I'll let you take just a tiny peep at them.) "I just received my second edition of the Tattler and why, oh, why, dear Jackie. didn't I know of your L. H. column before? Am incarcerated for defending a nice girl's name, and as I have no girl friend, am lonesome and blue. I beg of you, with tears in my eyes to please help me to get in touch with this particular girl. Dear Jackie, I have in mind the 'Lady Milliner'. I do hope she is broadminded, shapely and of the homey type girl, and settled. I am single, age 31, light brown skin, weigh 170 lbs., 5 ft. 7½ in. tall, and of a quiet nature, with heavy straight black hair which is natural and heavy eyebrows; a lover of all sports.

Really, Jackie, I would love to see your picture in the Tattler in the near future." * * * "Your letter saved me from having just another letterless day and I really did enjoy it immensely. I really must congratulate myself on having been so lucky as to have received a letter from you. It is also good to know that I could write an interesting letter to you.

"Being an ardent and earnest reader of Lonesome Hearts Column, I am hoping that you will forever keep up the good work of helping us. "We know that love is the bitter-sweet of our human experience, that there are many raindrops hiding behind the sunshine, but the Lonesome Heart Club will show how to build rainbows out of the storm clouds and find too, the 'happy ending' to your own particular romance." --- (Note this one too, following a similar vein but with a touch of sympathy). "I realize the fact that I am quite late in writing but I want to congratulate you on the wonderful work you are doing.

I wonder if you would please be so kind as to put me in touch with any young lady who would care to correspond with the undersigned, which mortal happens to be 18 years, light brown complexion, five ft. 7 in. height, weight 150 lbs.? Young lady must be neat, sweet-natured, with taking ways and well brought up. Let her come between the ages of 16-18. "I'm hoping for a word before Saturday as I'm a son-faring lad and my ship leaves Saturday morning. An entertaining line no wund then from a pure and kindly heart would go a long way towards choosing an other-wise tedious voyage. "Now, Miss Nobile, I'm putting my faith in you, so please don't disappoint me." * * * "I enjoy reading L. H. C. and at last have found courage to write. "I ask for correspondence but know I will not receive any after this is read. Am 21 years old, never petted, do not intend to, do not smoke, drink or flirt, and Jackie, in a way I hate to say this because it sounds so much like being a prude, but I have never swore. All I say is 'gee, O dear, and goodness!' No wonder I am lonesome, yes? Being of a quiet nature, I am something of a dreamer. Now I swim, dance—love it (would walk a mile for one). That is because I am never in want of partners. Outside of that I am lonesome, really. Am an out-door girl, love reading, am tall, slim, light brownskin. "Juckle dear (if you happen to be a man, Oooo!) I do sound like a prude yet really I am not one, just a sweet good big girl, ever so lonesome. Have just bobbed my hair. I dress modern even if I sound old fashioned." * * * (Walls——tall gray walls, barriers of happiness and freedom, stand they there cold and relentless. Is it any wonder that "the boys" are lonely?)

Am looking for one who would share life with me regardless how hard the circumstances may be. "Am not hard to please and I can say that whoever the young lady may be, she would find me sticking to the end. Am a medium brown, five ft. 6, dark brown eyes and as far as looks, I presume I can pass. Dress neatly and am a mechanic by trade." --- "I don't know just how to thank you for the young lady that wrote to me, but only once. I can't imagine what happened that she didn't write any more. Nevertheless, I must let you know that I did appreciate what you have done for me. Now, Jackie, please, if it is possible, send to me the address of another sweet girl. I have an idea that the other girl did not know of my residence here until after she received the letter from me. You know how some girls are toward a prisoner, but I am sure if I can get a girl who doesn't have a bad feeling toward me on that account, she will be happy—never nothing to regret. Please do for me what you can." ```markdown ``` Stones are supposed never to be lonely, but here's one that is.)

"Dear Miss Nobile--The Tattler is sent to me regularly by a friend--all this long way. Most of all I enjoy your page and feel you are doing good service in introducing all these lonely people to one another." --- (Now just you take a glance at this. When you should have finished glancing, you will no doubt read on.) "To whom it may concern—wide world—If you are in High School or just out of it; if you are fair to look at; if you would like to correspond with a man who is twenty-six and more lonely than a poet among pleasure-seeking, money-hunting people; if you care to listen to a man who knows and speaks the language of tropical birds on far away, wintry lands; if you do not "bob' your hair, do not paint, and are moderate in the usage of the appurtenances of woman's beauty and habiliment, just pen me a postal card and let me know."

(I am sorry for the young lady who penned the letter below, or any other person for that matter, who contacts the deceptive type.) "About two months ago, I had an application in for a nice young gentleman, which was published in the L. H. C. of the Tattler. I received an answer from a man who is a musician playing at the Savoy. Of course, thinking this person was just the type I wanted, I was very disappointed to discover that he has a wife and family. Evidently he was just a curiosity seeker. "Many thanks for your effort to help me, and above all I must congratulate you on your Anniversary and hope the L. J. C. will always live up to the standard in the future as it has in the past." --- (Come, lame me with reasons why you should not write this young lady.)

"I am sure you will forgive me for not thanking you before this late date, but have been so very busy until I could scarcely call my soul my own.

KIRTON LICENSED EMBALMER PUNERAL DIRECTOR NO WEST 1846th ST., NEW YORK Margaret Robinson Takes Lead from Diana Barrett in Tattler's Big Contest Winsome Little Queen Of The Sphinx Social Club Tops The Field With 175,000 Votes. Miss Barrett Drops To Third Place In Startling Upheaval. Crowning Of Queen Takes Place At The Renaissance Casino Sunday, August 25th. LIKE a meteor out of the sky, little Margaret Robinson, representing the Sphinx Social Club, swept through the field of the Tattler's "Convention Queen" popularity contest to take the lead away from Miss Diana Barrett, of the 4 F's Social Club. The fighting little Amazonian queen's gallants, the Sphinx boys, gave her 125,000 votes, five, five year subscriptions and with the 12,000 she polled, plus her count of the previous week, 38,000, Miss Robinson is now leading the contest with 175,000 as the race enters the last week, next Monday. It was a glorious surprise for the courageous little lady and it has certainly encouraged her to greater effort. "Oh I'll win now for the boys are with me and I have got to win for them after that wonderful contribution," was the way in which she expressed her appreciation and exhalation. The Standing of Tattler's Convention Contestants But right on the heels of Miss Roberts is the stately, aggressive representative of the Lucretia Social Club, Miss Elizabeth Elzy, who succeeded in again passing the Misses Diana Barrett and Constance Perdue. Miss Elzy polled 18,000 votes for the week and ran her count up to 172,000, just 3,000 shy of Miss Robinson's count. Others who improved their standing were the Misses Cleo Sewell, adding 8,000 to her 62,000 count of last week, giving her 70,000 for this week; Harriet Morris, sending her total up to 69,000 with 6,000 more votes; Mildred Pinder of Brooklyn, totaling 136,000. And the ultimate winner is still in doubt. With but ten days left, counting from Thursday, any one of the contestants has a chance to win the big money and the Tattler's crown as the "Convention Queen. Like little Miss Robinson, any one of the girls may jump into the lead before the contest ends next Saturday night, August 17th. It's one of the closest contests ever conducted by the Tattler. We have wind of a startling surprise in store for us in that four of the girls will poll a heavy and what they hope will be a winning vote, this week. These young ladies are the Misses Mabel Harris, Juanita Boisseau, Lillian Page and Marion Watson, the last named young lady being backed by the Renown Club and the Ace Social Club. These two organizations we learn, will poll a very heavy vote for their little standard bearer. Miss Watson. So there's no telling who is going to win, with so many possibilities within easy reach of the Tattler's crown. And once again we must call the contestants' attention to the fact that they must "Report THIS SATURDAY or be disqualified. The rules required every contestant to report at least once a week. This some of the girls have not been doing up to date. But with only two more Saturdays left, we must insist on every girl reporting to our office this Saturday by or before 10 o'clock.
