LAST week we discussed the discrimination against Negroes practiced by the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company. It was shown that this food trust operates 24 of its stores in the Negro district and employs but 10 Negroes, most of them errand boys, and, that it hasn't a single Negro manager of one of its stores in Harlem. In that article it was pointed out that if these stores are not making profits, the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company would not operate them. Let us now turn to some of the other chain store companies operating in Harlem. Does the Negro get anything out of them for his loyal patronage? Does he get anything back in wages for the vast sums of money he spends with these businesses every day? Are these other chain systems also insulting the intelligence of Negroes by refusing to give them an opportunity to earn their bread as well as a chance to buy it? James Butler, Inc. The first on our list is the James Butler Company, Inc., whose stores are a familiar sight on all, of Harlem's principal thoroughfares. This company operates 17 stores in the Negro district, but only employs 9 Negroes, mostly errand boy-clerks. There seems to be no evidence that one of these 17 stores is managed by a Negro. On Lenox Avenue it has stores located at Nos. 556. 573 and 669, of which only the first has a Negro employee. On Fifth Avenue it has two stores at Nos. 2175 and 2248, with one Negro employed in the latter. On celebrated Seventh Avenue it has three stores at Nos. 2460, 2506 and 2074, with a Negro employed in both the first and last named. On Eighth Avenue the Butler Company has stores at Nos. 2391 2571, 2215, and 153rd and 8th Avenue at which one Negro each is employed, while the other 8th Avenue stores, located at Nos. 2463, 2470, 2288 and 2170, have no Negro employees. At its store located on the corner of Edgecombe Avenue and 145th Street, this company has one Negro errand boy. Here is a New York concern, making hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars out of a Negro district, and yet thinks so little of the people in the district that it will not give a Negro any better job than sweeping up the floor and carrying groceries up interminable flights of steps. Nor will this company change its policy until the Negroes of Harlem are intelligent enough to withhold their patronage until such time as the company comes to its senses or closes its stores through lack of trade. L. Oppenheimer, Inc. Here is another big food trust with stores scattered all over New York City. In the Negro district of Harlem it has seven stores which employ six Negroes, mostly half clerks-half errand boys. It employs not a single Negro manager nor a single Negro butcher. Its seven stores in Harlem are located at 475 and 340 Lenox Avenue; 2180 Fifth Avenue; 2418 and 2378 8th Avenue; 308 West 125th Street and 145th Street and Edgecombe Avenue. Getting a three-way shot at the Negro customer by selling groceries, meat and fish, it has failed to find the Negroes of Harlem sufficiently militant and aware of their self-interest to force it to either staff its stores with Negroes or get out. United Cigar Stores Co. Unquestionably one of the worst offenders in this direction is the United Cigar Store Company. It sells lots of smokes to Negroes but will not employ Negroes to sell smokes to Negroes. It has 13 stores located in the part of Harlem heavily or exclusively populated by colored people. They are located as follows: 2432, 2536, and 2730 Eighth Avenue; 113 Lenox Avenue; 125th Street & Lenox Avenue; 492, 519, and 693 Lenox Avenue; 1906, and 2100 7th Avenue; 135th Street and 7th Avenue; 73 West 116th Street. These United Cigar Stores not only sell cigarettes and cigars and smoking tobacco but safety razors and blades, candy, peanuts, clocks and a number of other things. Glance into any of the United Cigar Stores in Harlem and you will find them doing a good business. The stores are always crowded with Negroes but none will be seen behind a counter. This company says, in effect: "We want Negro customers but we don't want Negro clerks. Black folks can spend money with us but they cannot make money with us. There is a way to wake up this arrogant trust. Other Chains However, James Butler, L. Oppenheimer and the United Cigar Stores are not the only chains that practice indus- The Interstate Jattler state Tattler Publishing Co., Inc., 2296 Seventh Avenue, New York, N. Y. York, N. Y., under the act of March 8, 1878. Subscription rate $3.50 per y nents Do Chain Sto II. James Butler's, L. Oppenheimer's, Cushman Bakeries, Congress 5 & 10, Chester Food Stores and United Cigar Stores By SAMUEL D. BROOKS trial discrimination against Negroes, though they are the most prominent in Harlem. There are, for instance, the Congress 5 and 10 Grocery Stores, operating at Nos. 327, 410 and 581 Lenox Avenue, with only the latter store employing a Negro. This is a small chain but it carries on the same tradition of color discrimination in employment that the big ones practice. It will do this chain good to lose a little Negro patronage. Then come the Chester Food Stores, with establishments at 2168 Fifth Avenue and 568 Lenox Avenue. This company, like the United Cigar Stores, employs no Negroes at all. Still it doesn't refuse to take the nickels and dimes of the Negroes over the country. It has only two stores but it wouldn't have any if the Negroes knew their business. Lastly, we have Cushman's Bakeries. Cushman has found business pretty good in Harlem. The company has Mr. Alvin J. Moses. Interstate Tattler 2269 Seventh Ave., New York, N. Y. Dear Mr. Mosses:— Your article of last week coacerning "What Chain Stores Have to Offer to the Colored People," was called to my attention. As President of the Publix Millinery Chain Organization, I am taking the liberty of writing this letter to you, as I feel it may be of interest to you. Several months ago, we opened a millinery store in Harlem at 2660 Eighth Avenue. Our policy has been in all our stores, the right merchandise! at the right price! at the right time! But we have gone one step further in our Harlem store. In that establishment we have a 100 per cent colored staff. We can also add that a Miss Day, one of your race, has been in charge of the store as manager since I opened. Thus, you can readily see that we have been entirely in accord with your editorial of last week, and shall continue to do so as long as we are in Harlem. Very truly yours. PUBLIX MILLINERY, INC. (Signed) HENRY LEVY, Pres. three flourishing stores located at 504 Lenox Avenue, 2288 Eighth Avenue, and 2724 Eighth Avenue. Its employees, like the fronts of its stores, are white. Negroes are welcome to enter, of course. Indeed, if Negroes did not enter these stores, they would have to close for lack of business. And yet it would be easier to find a whale in the Sahara Desert than to find a Negro clerk or manager in one of Cushman's Harlem stores. Black employees are as taboo at these stores as black bread. What Can We Do? Long Before reading this far the, the average Negro will ask: "What can we do about it?" We have indicated what can be done. The Negroes of Harlem can rigidly boycott these chain stores until such time as they drop enough of their race prejudice to staff their Harlem stores with Negroes. As was stated last week, the various business enterprises owned and operated by Negroes in Harlem bear eloquent testimony to the capacity of the Negro to occupy almost any position in the world of trade and commerce. One can find hundreds of black people in the Negro district capable of being manager of a chain store and thousands who would find no difficulty in occupying the job of clerk. Now there are some who will attempt to prove that we ourselves are giving aid and comfort to the idea of jim-crowism in commerce and industry by advocating the employment of Negroes by the chain stores in the Negro district. Of course such a contention is silly. The fact is that none of these companies employs any Negroes in its stores outside of the Negro district. Hence, it is already a fact without us advocating it. HARLEM'S DUTY Demand from Chain Stores and other Trusts who exploit us — equal patronage uureservedly. GERALDYN DISMOND, Managing Editor. York, N. Y. Phone: Edgecombe 6661. Entered as second class 8.50 per year. Vol. V. No. 37. Friday, Sept. 13, 1929 Stores Offer Us? What we do contend is that, since these concerns will not employ Negroes in any capacity in their stores outside Harlem because of the claim that white customers will object to being waited upon by Negroes (which we consider a ridiculous contention), they at least ought to staff their stores with Negroes in a section where the bulk of the population is Negro and where there is no objection by the inhabitants to being waited upon by Negroes. We contend that it is monstrous to maintain a policy in a Negro district of keeping the Negroes on only one side of the counter. Why bring clerks and managers from outside the district to wait upon Negroes when there are individuals unemployed within the district who are quite as capable as those from the outside who have the jobs! We believe these companies are aware of all of these facts but they just do not choose to give the Negro a square deal within the ghetto which they, in company with other white hypocrites, have established for him and in which they try by every known and legal means to retain him. But the power to change this situation is in the hands of the Negroes themslves. These stores exist by the patronage almost exclusively of Negroes. Remove that patronage and the stores would have to close. The Negroes can withdraw that patronage any time they get ready. There is nothing to stop them. When these companies find out that the Negroes are making them lose money they will do either of two things: They will say, "Go to Hell!" and close their stores, or, they will try to find out the cause of the Negro boycott. This being an age in which the Dollar is King and one hundred million Americans yelp in a vast chorus "In Gold We Trust." you can figure out for yourself just what these companies will do if you cut off your patronage. We'll wager that they'll begin to look around for some way to placate the aroused Negroes. The Strategy of the Economic Ballot There are a whole lot of superficial and cowardly Negroes who will yell, "Don't Rock the Boat. After all, most Negroes are employed by white people. Suppose they should decide not to employ Negroes and fill their places with whites? Hadn't we better keep quiet and hope for the best?" To these rabbit-hearted gentry we reply: The Negro forms an integral part of the working population of the United States. He holds his position on his merits as a good workman who has proved himself through 300 years of toil. The United States could exist without the Negroes but it would be a long time getting back to normal if it tried to do so. Again, these yellow-streak Negroes do not seem to realize that we stand fundamentally for the abolition of the color bar in industry and commerce. We cannot, like so many Negroes, compromise on a matter so important. We think Negroes ought to be employed wherever they are able to hold down a job creditably. We do not say that Negroes should be clerks and managers only in Harlem nor would we advocate the outsting of white employees from Harlem, if hypocritical employers many of whom give liberally to Negro schools in the South) would employ Negroes outside of Harlem. We select these chain stores for the economic boycott because we believe that the little fellows copy the big fellows. We know that the independent stores in Harlem also discriminate against the Negro when it comes to employment. However we also know that once they see the economic boycott applied effectively to the chain stores, they will see what can be done about putting some Negroes on the money side of the counter.

And so I find myself once more at the green desk, but my heart lingers on in the rustling pines of North Carolina, and my memories still play on the sands of Seabreeze. It was a great five weeks in the out-of-doors, with an occasional party of the Harlem variety to keep me from getting home-sick. Friday, September 13, 1929 Social Geral NO MATTER how perfect the w myself once more at the gre the rustling pines of North Carol the sands of Seabreeze. It was a with an occasional party of the H ting home-sick. Just to prove to you that, after all people enjoy themselves in rather much the same manner the world over, here is a story of two or three of the Wilmington parties. The first honest-to-goodness one came off at the Green Tree Inn of Maggie McRae at Seabreeze, in honor of the Howe boys—Dr. Lawrence of West Virginia, and Jimmy and Wilson of Buffalo. They were visiting their mother who lives on the sound and has married one of the Freemans. The Freemans, by the way, are the original owners of the Seabreeze sections and between the six Freeman heirs was divided 2,500 acres of land running from the Atlantic Ocean to the Cape Fear River. Floyd Flemming, a cousin of the Howes, was host and Mrs. McRae, hostess. It was an intimate and altogether close-like-those affair. The guests were few, but hand-picked—Bertha Lambert of New York, the William Russels of Wilmington and their beautiful daughter, Juanita, Mrs. Jimmy Howe, who accompanied her husband from Buffalo, Bobbie Bampfield, who came from Charlotte, Lucille, Maggie's baby sister, Edward Swann, Sr., of New York, and Will Mask of Wilmington. We started early (at nine) and the dancing, star-gazing, eating of shrimp salad and drinking of corn blossoms went on until the sun began to come up out of the ocean. * * * The most pretentious one was sponsored by Bessye Byrd and came as a farewell for us. The beau brummels of Wilmington, Seabreeze and Wrightsville Beach supplied the chicken salad and gallons of punch a la corn cob. The Bessye was a demure and charming hostess in white bridal satin and ruffled tulle, and she was ably assisted by John Bizzell in his correct beach linens. The music was grand and the Byrd home is spacious and rambling—just the place for a party. Lula Richardson, a local favorite, at the piano, and Fred Austin and his sax started the hooing. Then, between steps, Linsy Brown, Rudy Webber, who arrived that night from Paris, little Willie George, and Alice Kennedy, who possesses one of those trick soprano voices, sang. Way late, the Wilmington Stompers arrived in full form and then we did break down and confess. \* \* \* Around and about were Bertha Lambert in lipstick red taffeta of the latest Parisian mode; James Mingo, Will Mask, the William Russells, the Charlie Whittys.

With the exception of a cocktail tete-a-tete at Dr. Foster Burnett's, at which we talked over our friends abroad and in the East, we spent our days fishing at Porters Neck and Masonboro Sound with Bobbie Bampsfield; watching Charlie Spicer bring in mullet hawls at Fort Fisher; lounging in the swing at Swann's Cottage; rocking on the upper veranda at Russell's Hotel; drinking Curly Russell's home-brew; riding in R. D. Moore's, Herbert Shaw's and Bessye Byrd's cars; eating fish at June McCoy's; taking in an occasional road house; and romping and prompting on the beach. * * * Which reminds me—Emmett Sampson, from the Sunny South, will be up No'th this fall with all the necessary dollars for a huge vacation. You will recognize him by these—his favorite expressions: "Did it cost you anything? Let's get going. Everything's all right. You can't get angry with me. I'm a personal friend." * * * Naomi Cobb, who has reigned over the household of Jules Bledsoe this summer, was given a farewell party by her well known brother at his home last Thursday evening. Miss Cobb was studying at Columbia this summer. She will resume her duties teaching in the high school at Waco, Texas. The beautiful apartment was rearranged in order to get maximum floor space and the greatest lounging room. The cuisine held sweet Virginia ham, chickens done brown, sandwiches, relish, salads and—ah, the flowing bowl! Several bowls, in fact. At the piano was Jules, himself, and beside him stood Alvin Cobb, his nephew, playing a tenor saxophone. Carroll Robinson, George Martin and Teddy Brown completed the musical force. The singing of Teddy was one of the high spots. Radio and Victrola aided in pinches. And the merrie companie included Dr. and Mrs. Green and Mrs. J. Wesley Tilden, Jr., of Chicago; Mrs. H. B. Cachemaille, A'Lelia Walker, Estelle Massey, of Kansas City, Vivian Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Walter V. White, McCleary Stinnette, Dewey Killingsworth, Edward Morrow, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Jackson, Bessie Bearden, Paul Meeres, Frances Lomax, Dr. Russell, Harold Jackman, and many another who cannot be recalled after 3:00 A. M. Miss Cobb looked charming in white. The informality and congeniality of the party made it a distinctly pleasant memory. * * * Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks. Finley Wilson and Mrs. Grand who were the over night guests of Grand Treasurer Warner, left Tuesday morning on a motor trip through New England to Nova Scotia. Mrs. Grand was at the wheel of their new Pierce Arrow. * * * Dr. William Tompkins of Kansas City, physician in charge of the Elks' medical program, accompanied by Mrs. Tompkins and their children, started for home by motor Tuesday morning. They have been visiting in Harlem since the convention. On Saturday a surprise birthday party was given by Mrs. Amy Dudley in honor of her nephew, Wilfred Osborne.

He is the house guest of the Misses Stewart, 215 West 135th St. Miss Whitfield, his sister, a teacher from Cleveland, arrived on August 31st, to greet her brother on his return to the States, and remained here one week, returning home by way of Washington to visit relatives. --- Theodore W.

Myers has returned from two weeks at Atlantic Highlands and Red Bank with nothing but praise for the hostesses of the two villages. And why shouldn't she be enthusiastic? Her stay was one round of bridge, luncheon, beach and motor parties. Her hostesses, Mrs. Elizabeth Younger who has a charming summer bungalow at Atlantic Highlands, and Mrs. Rachael Poole, Mrs. George Lane, Mrs. George Marshall and Mrs. Gussie Grown, who sojourn at Red Bank, made life quite gay with daily trips to the tennis tournament at Bordentown, shore dinners and motor trips, no end.

It was developed and organized with great care by experienced educators, whose sole purpose is to offer to students of all nationalities an opportunity for scholastic training of the highest type in the most congenial surroundings, and in an atmosphere devoid of prejudice. The school is fitted with the most up-to-date furnishings and equipment, and will compare more than favorably in this respect with any of the betterclass schools in New York. The Lincoln Secretarial School offers courses in all commercial subjects. In addition, candidates are prepared for Civil Service appointments, including Municipal, State, and Federal. Classes are held in the afternoons to coach backward high-school and public school students. The Spanish and French languages have recently been added to the curriculum; while courses in English and Commercial English are given in both the day and evening classes.

To facilitate registration for those who are engaged during the week, the school offices are open on Saturday from 10 to 5 P.M.

For six years Mr. Nesbitt was manager of the Railroad quarters at Altoona. Pa. Two months ago he moved to Pittsburgh where he took charge of the quarters there. But "Success" had come to him, and finding an opportunity in the grocery business in Chicago, he, with his companion, Mrs. S. M. Nesbitt, went there to make their future home. Mr. Nesbitt is well liked among the railroad boys, and we all regret very much his parting with us. Nevertheless we sincerely wish him success in his undertaking and hope he and Mrs. Nesbitt will be very happy in their future home.

At The Alhambra The Alhambra Theatre's offering this week is the usual three in one variety bill of musical comedy, a sketch and photo play.

The headiners are well supported by Sam Cross and James Thomas in a way of their own. Little Kitty Arblanche struts her stuff and wins approval. "Ukelelee" Brown is good and bad or if you wish neither good or bad. The Ednas, Young and Harris if you please, stage a boy and girl number that's rather good and better when the Alhambra Maids start prancing. The drama or rather the sketch is a sort of comedy drama with the one and only Mandie Randolph in the comedy role.

It affords a startling change to the usual strange roles assigned to the "Man With a Thousand Faces." Chaney's part is an intensely human one. There are thrills galore—thundering rides — weird scenes in the great Chicago railroad yards with their strange lights and blinking signals, and a wild dash to the rescue in the Mississippi floods, a disaster that furnishes the dramatic climax of the vivid story.

Instead, the prospective father-in-law only rents one of the houses. A gang of so- owned "Doc's"—Messrs. HYDER ntry variety—but hand picked,— ciety crooks rent the other.

Dowd WHILE Politics may be somewhat out of my line, I am going to ask the indulgence of my readers, as I digress or curve from the usual order of things and delve into something of uual order of things and delve into something of greater importance. That something is the leadership fight in the Thirteenth Assembly District between the Honorable Patrick S. Dowd, the Alderman and Mr. Andrew B. Keating. I believe it was the immortal Bill Shakespeare or it might have been Bill Robinson or Bill Higgins, perhaps Sandy Burns or was it "Jackie" Mably, who said something about "All The World's A Stage And We Humans Just So Many Actors, Each Playing a Part." Well, if that's the case, I'm O. K. and "Yours Truly" is submitting this criticism or review of the play on the political stage of the 13th Assembly District. Next Tuesday, September 17th the great primarry Contest for the leadership of the 13th Assembly District comes to the final showdown. The battle between Alderman Patrick S. Dowd, sturdy champion of "Fair Play To All" and the present leader, Andrew B. Keating, who has but just recently become interested in the colored voters of this district. Yes, I'm for Paddy Dowd. First, because he is a firm believer in "Square Dealing." Paddy has made a clean cut appeal to us for support and I am fully convinced that we have everything to hope for with Mr. Dowd as leader. Paddy has freely recognized our just claims. He has designated a colored lieutenant leader with eight colored captains and fifty-four colored county committee. Not only that, he has promised that we shall have representation, a voice and a vote in the councils of his organization in the event of his victory in the primaries. On the other hand, Mr. Keating has paid the colored people of his district very little attention. Not only that, he has seen fit to insult and humiliate the colored voters by appointing WHITE MEN as election district captains in the COLORED sections of his district. But now all too late, Mr. Keating sees the "Hand Writing. On The Wall" and he needs no prophet to explain the meaning of THAT HAND WRITING. Mr. Keating has been FORCED to appoint COLORED captains. But in the remote event he is successful in defeating the Honorable Patrick S. Dowd, does any Negro believe that Mr. Keating will retain or keep these colored men as captains? Fortunately or unfortunately, that question will never be answered. For MR. ANDREW B. KEATING WILL BE DEFEATED AND THE HONORABLE PATRICK S. DOWD, our popular Alderman, will be elected the NEW LEADER. That means that the INTERESTS OF THE COLORED CITIZENS WILL BE PROTECTED. MR. DOWD HAS NOT ONLY PLEDGED HIMSELF AND HIS ORGANIZATION TO PROTECT OUR INTERESTS, BUT HE HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO SEE THAT THE NEGRO'S INTERESTS ARE PROTECTED. The colored captains and committeemen will see to that. However, we can only judge the future by the past. Mr. Keating has done little if anything for the Negro. He has shown the utmost indifference to us for all of eight years. That very forcefully proves that he is not interested in the welfare and progress of his Negro supporters. Just think, he has given two colored men menial jobs, neither one of which a white man would accept. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF COLORED VOTERS OF HIS ORGANIZATION? WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR THEM? I firmly believe in Negro leadership wherever Negroes are to be led. It is only right and proper. But I CERTAINLY DON'T BELIEVE IN A WHITE LEADER GIVING SOME IGNORANT NEGRO A JOB AND THEN SETTING THAT NEGRO UP AS MY LEADER. I CERTAINLY WANT AND WILL DEMAND THE RIGHT OF HELPING TO SELECT AN INTELLIGENT, AGGRESSIVE, DETERMINED AND A FEARLESS NEGRO TO REPRESENT ME. NO NEGRO WHO IS DEPENDENT ON THE 'JOB' CAN BE MY LEADER OR WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH BY ME. Nor do I want that Negro who goes seeking the honor with his hat in hand, telling Marse Eddie what he can do with colored people and begging the position as Negro Leader. I feel that the people of this community know and have faith in me. I have never hesitated to speak candidly and to the point on questions of vital interests. My record is clean and I am proud of it. There is nothing in my life that I need blush or feel ashamed of. It has always been my STEELED DETERMINATION "NEVER TO DECEIVE MY PUBLIC." I fully appreciate that "Honesty Is The Best Policy". So, when I declare for a candidate so emphatically, I trust that my readers will believe in me and VOTE FOR THAT MAN, the HONORABLE PADDY DOWD. To the voters of the 17th Election District of which I am captain under the Paddy Dowd banner, the county committee are INEZ MANLEY, GEORGE B. B. JONES, FRANK McDONNELL, ERNEST D. MORRIS, ROY WALLACE, EUNICE J. BROOKS. THEODORE LYTTON, FANNY FIALL, MAE PERIN. There are nine men and women on the Dowd ticket, begin ning with Miss Inez Manley. It is absolutely necessary to MAKE A CROSS (X) MARK IN THE LITTLE SQUARE TO THE LEFT OF EACH ONE OF THESE NAMES. THIS IS IMPORTANT. DON'T FORGET.

You're welcome to join me at home, sometime. *** ..Well, to start the old round-by-round detail: Monday:—This being a holiday night, and exceptionally warm, I didn't know what to do with myself. I dared not bother with the struggle buggy, for not the first flat was I prepared to attend to in such weather. I rested my weary soul all day and about eleven o'clock. I dropped into Eddie's Paradise. And mighty glad am I that I did, for the adorable Bea Foote was back in harness. I witnessed the revue from the check room, where the lovely brown goddess, Stella, reigns supreme. She let me have my correct fun, no end. And there I remained until I had laughed until my sides ached at the antics of four—according to the Her—of the most handsome of men. As I believe, they are called receptionists—"A. B." Willis, Ted Burke, Chuck Wilson and "Skits." They were a scream imitaing Warren and Gill's routine. And their singing—well—it has no equal. (Not saying whether 'tis good or bad.) Anyway, Monday night wasn't so bad, after all. * * * Tuesday: Well, first of all, this being our day at the Press, called for jaded feelings aplenty, so we tried the Lincoln. And you can bet your last copper that the old playhouse is still running true to form. The Her went into cestacies over the "Red" Simmons. My stars! Who's the next one? She's as bad as I am—a new weakness each week. Well, we left the Lincoln; and the Rosebud being near by, did justice to the ham and lima beans placed before us...I got home in time to hear Charlie Johnson's boys playing "You Ain't the One." * * * Wednesday:—Nothin' doing. 'Twas too hard a day for me, so I went home after taking the eating cancer to dinner at the Kentucky. * * * Thursday:—Will the heat never cease! Thursday night was just as hot as the rest of the week, but still I managed to hop around the Lenox Club with my ball and chain. Yes, the Wife is home.) But at any rate, notwithstanding that fact, I had a hopping and ginger ale-drinking good time. We then went to the Lotus Tea Garden, and she, too, promptly fell in love with the place. Ye Gods! Now I have two broads to feed. * * * Friday:I "stagged" it down to the Saratoga Club, and glad I am that I did. I met an old buddy of mine from Philly—and did he have a righteous party! Bennie Butler can talk about his Amazonian beauties, but he's all wet. He should have seen the five-foot-ten-and-a-half women I dared to dance with. You know those of the peaches-and-cream type. Harlem's Exclusive Tailor Lucius C. Jones ADVANCED STYLES FOR LADIES and GENTS 201 WEST 145TH ST. Telephone Edgecombe 3854 Saturday:Again, I made Saturday night and Sunday morning—all in one. Saturday night's dinner was Italian A1 Frid friend chicken and brocoli at Domenicks'. Boys, that's good eatin'. Then, Bamboo Inn until two g. m., from whence the Nestle took me into itself. Or was it-I took the Neste unto myself? Anyway, six o'clock found me standing with hat in hand, gallantly wishing the Her a restful few hours, for I was to meet her again at four o'clock in the afternoon. We were Matinee bound. * * * Sunday: After the hectic time that led up to Sunday morning, there was nothing else for me to do but sleep. And that I did until about three o'clock at which time the desire to eat would not allow me to sleep longer. As is the case on Sundays during this hot weather, I found myself at home, alone. So, I put my hand in the closet, and the first thing I grabbed, I wore. Where to eat, with so many places to go to, should not be hard to decide, but it was. Finally I decided to go to the Arabian Tea Room. Well, if you want a good meal, take a walk around 135th Street and see for yourself. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, it is said. Then I hung around the door of the office, fully intending to go back home, dress and then call for the Her. But for one reason—the heat—I could not budge myself. * * * About 4:45, I saw my boy Willis, hop out of a cab, which reminded me that I had promised to take the Her to the Matinee. But I wasn't going to get dressed for anybody. So, I continued to park in the office door, as was. Around 4:30 the desire to peep into the Matinee got me, and so I asked the sheik could I go down, and he answered that he wasn't particular about having me down there. (The nerve of that guy!) But I went down on my hardness, for he 'ain't so tight that I can't have him some. I hung around the cloak room—(there's a reason)—and can you believe it, there I remained until closing time. Some people are gluttons for punishment, for as hot as that place was on Sunday, there wasn't the first inch of parking space. The studs and broads minded the heat not the least bit. They fairly bather in perspiration, which made me 'sweat' just to look at them. But when you're young and having a good time—what does a little heat matter? If it's a good time you want on a Sunday afternoon, --- Small's Matinee's will just about get it.

The Park-Lincoln Apartments, located at 321 Edgecombe Avenue( Sugar Hill), ar eabout the last word in modernity in apartment houses in Harlem. There are intercommunicating telephones, uniformed doormen, automatic elevators and last, but most important, frigidaires. The frigidaires seem to be the root of all evil. While they are supposed to operate at a cost of about three dollars a month, the bills have been averaging around six dollars, and some have gone as high as ten and eleven dollars a month. The Negro tenants figure that something must be wrong somewhere. They have been unable to get any satisfaction from the landlord, Mr. Jos. A. Damsey, or from the Economy Electric Meter Company, from whom they get their bills. The refrigerators are said to be owned by the landlord. One tenant with a one-room apartment has received larger bills than most of those with families in fourroom apartments. One woman who permitted her electric power to be cut off rather than pay an exorbitant bill, has received bills just the same. Another woman who is seldom home and eats out all of the time has received large bills regularly. Realizing that nothing could possibly be gained by individual effort, the tenants got together and formed their association last Friday night, September 6th. The officers are G. L. Mack, President; George S. Schuyler, Secretary; Mrs. N. Golphin, Treasurer. Plans are on foot to force an examination of the meters and the refrigerator motors which the tenants say are all wrong. --- Joe Williams Nearest Approach to Alexander OLD PETE," as fans around the National Baseball League circuit affectionately refer to Grover Cleveland Alexander, — perhaps the greatest right-hand twirler of all time is about to write his epitaph in the baseball firmament. Tawny, weather beaten,—yea, shell shocked after 18 hectic years on the mound for the Phillies, Cubs, and St. Louis, in addition to skipping off the "Straight and Narrow" whenever the spirit directed,—'Alec' is back home in Nebraska silent and alone with his memories. If "Smoky" Joe Williams, mainstay of the famous Lincoln Giants, who won the World's Football HAMPTON vs. LINCOLN POLO GROUNDS Saturday, November 2, 1929 Game Called at 2:30 P. M. Admission $2.00, Reserved Seats $2.50, Box Seats $3.00 Tickets on sale in New York City at New York Giants Office, 104 West 43rd Street Ray McCarthy, 551 Fifth Avenue, Room 1101 New York Age Office, 230 West 136th Street Johnnie Jackson's Lunch, 2285 Seventh Avenue Texan would do . . . until a better and gamer pitcher hove into view in any old ballgame. Today at the ripe young age of half a century (born April 6, 1886), Joe Williams still manages to hobble out there to the pitching hill 'SMOKY JOB' M. J. LACOFF for scrappy "Cum" Posey's clawing Homestead Grays, and turn in a mighty sweet pitching performance. Native of Texas YES the vast stretches of the Lone Star State that has bred more first rate ballplayers of all complexions and creeds than any ten states in the Union, gave Joe Williams to a waiting world. A little hamlet named "Sequin" is the place this lanky but well built adonis of the raised mound used to have his mail sent to. Two Texans that I will always have the utmost respect for are, Tristram Speaker, better known as "Spoke" who was the sensation of the greatest World Series engagement ever played—N. Y. Giants vs. Boston Red Sox in 1912, and this selfsame Williams person. Speaker, immortalized his fame as a fielder with that magnificent Hooper-Lewis-Speaker trio who could make a baseball perform rare stunts frolicking out in the vast stretches of the outfield. Joe Williams always provided Jose Mendez (peace to his remains), Petway, and Lindsey—the latter named immortal of Rube Foster's celebrated Chicago and Leland Giants ensembles, also dead, with the most stubborn opposition any local moundsman was capable of. Even Christy Mathewson and Nap Rucker were unable to lick pint-sized Jose ALVIN J. MOSES Mendez,—and their efforts were no more classical than the wrangles put on by the high checkboned Texan, and the very dark genius from the "Pearl of the Antilles." Comparative arguments are odious regardless of the branch of sport discussed. Whether Joe would have thrived as well or as long for that matter with such swell hitters as Cobb, Jackson, Felsch, LaJoie, Collins, Crawford, Speaker, Delehanty, Heilman et al, batting in there against him everyday, is a horse of another color. What we do know is. . . The bronzed prince of twirlers consistently licked the Art Wiltse's. Otis Crandall's, Grover Alexander's, Chalmer's', Eddie Plank's, Rube Marquard's, Chief Bender's,—and scores of others whose names are household words to the aged and young of America, season in and out on barnstorming tours after the regular season had closed for Big Leaguers. Yes We Know About It HOW we'd like to take a solid poke at the self-styled wise cracker who everlastingly brings up the motheaten argument about the breaking of training rules, and the general inefficiency of a pick up, or "All Star" nine that goes on tour playing the semipro's and sand-lotters. Oft times we wonder if any of the present day generation of baseball fans ever devoted an hour or two to studying the exploits of say for instance "Rube" Waddell? We cite his case in particular as conclusive argument against teamplay and defensive work when a truly great artist is at the helm. Waddell, for all of his well known eccentricities was close to being the best pitcher ever. Built like a shunting engine, this cornhusking giant was a marvel for endurance and craftiness. His pet trick for the edification of the fans was to dismiss his outfield and retire the next three batsmen on three thrown pellets—quite a feat, eh wot? His speed was more blinding than Walter Johnson's—only Amos Rusie compared with the weak minded youth who performed wonders for the same Connie Mack who appears to be a cinch to lead his present day edition of the Philadelphia "Apathethics" under the wire. Had Joe licked a flock o' Waddells, the aforementioned argument would still be advanced by the vanguard of the faithful. By Alvin J. Moses Resembled Joe Gans FACIALLY Joe Williams is a dead ringer for the late Joe Gans of Baltimore. He reminds one of a "cross-breed" between Gans the fighter and John Donaldson, a pitcher of parts, in his own right being holder of a "no hit—no run classic" a few seasons back in the National Negro Baseball League. In his heyday, Joe's chief pitching asset was a canny noodle among the best we've ever seen in action, plus rare speed and control. Though Joe is hardly the 52 summers that quite a number of scribes claim him to be, it still remains a very potent fact that to win 25 ball games like "Long 1 GEORGIE FIALL, wanted by the St. Louis Argus Bulldogs one of fastest Basketball quintets in the country—but dame rumor says he will play right here this season. Joseph" did last season, is a not-tobe-laughed-at performance. William's best year was 1905 when he won 28 games while losing 4; the following year his record reads 15 wins against 9 in the red column. In '07, he contrived to win twenty baseball classics as against eight losses. The year that Johnson won the World's heavyweight title from chunky Tommy Burns the French-Canuck, Joe turned in the beautiful performance of losing only two battles out of twenty-two trips to the raised pitching peak. The following summer he won 32 battles and lowered his colors in eight. His first professional engagement found him laboring for the crack San Antonio Club of his native State. For a while during 1909, he wore the livery of the "Birmingham Barons." We love to recall his famous duel with Jose Mendez at the old Yankee Hilltop, best of all, in recanting his prowess, and Cumberland Posey of the scrappy Homestead Grays will talk you silly over Joe's feat of winning 25 conflicts out of approximately 30 starts during the late 1928 season—Wottt man!

Both May Settles and Al called upon the Editor and explained matters satisfactorily.

Thanks to his splendid physique he is well on the road to recovery. Hampton Institute Faces Most Interesting Football Schedule in Its History BY CHARLES H. WILLIAMS The management of the Hampton Institute Athletic Association has completed all arrangements for the 1929 football Schedule which football fans believe to be one of the hardest and most interesting ever tackled by the Seasiders. The season opens with Howard University at Hampton on October 5. This will be the first time in five years that the two schools have met on the gridiron. In the past the Howard-Hampton games were characterized by hard, brilliant playing with the finest spirit of sportsmanship. So close were many of the contests, that the winner often emerged in the closing moments of play, with the spectators reaching the highest pitch of excitement. The game this year will be no exception. With the reorganization of her coaching staff, the employment of a new head coach, and an abundance of material on hand, Howard is expected to have one of the best elevens on the field this fall. The biggest crowd that ever attended an opening game at Hampton is expected to see the Howard-Hampton clash. Special arrangements have been made for the entertainment of visitors. Bay Shore Hotel, located on Chesapeake Bay, will be open for the accommodation of visitors attending the Howard game on October 5, the Petersburg game on October 19, and the West Virginia Home Coming game on November 16. A special dance will be held at Bay Shore on each of these occasions. When Hampton and Lincoln meet at the Polo Grounds in New York City on November 2, 1929, it is expected that one of the largest crowds that ever attended a football game played by Negro teams will witness the contest. Great interest is being shown in the game in New York City among both colored and white football enthusiasts, as it will be the first opportunity New York fans have had to see a game between two Negro teams. Many doubt whether Negro teams play the same high grade football as leading college teams. Coaches Gideon E. Smith of Hampton and William Taylor of Lincoln hope to remove that doubt for good and all on Novmeber 2. A joint Hampton-Lincoln committee with Dr. Fitz Leo Nearon as chairman are making elaborate arrangements for the entertainment of thousands of out of town visitors. Large numbers of Hampton and Lincoln Alumni and football fans generally from New York State, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington, Delaware, and Virginia have begun making plans and organizing parties to attend the game. Tickets for the game will be placed on sale in four New York offices on September 15, two of which will be down in the city and two in Harlem. Arrangements have been made to fill the ticket orders as soon as applications are received. This will give opportunity to get choice seats early and to be assured of them. The Pennsylvania Railroad officials have expressed the desire to cooperate by offering to run a special train from Old Point to New York. A special rate of half fare is offered to New York and return if three hundred people make the trip. On Armistice Day Hampton and A. and T., Greensboro, will again play in Norfolk. Those who witnessed the game last year will recall seeing one of the finest games and one of the biggest crowds that ever witnessed a C. I. A. A. game in Norfolk. Hundreds of people came from all points of North Carolina. The same kind of interest is being shown this year and an even larger crowd is expected. Other games played by the Seasiders are St. Paul at Hampton on October 12. Hampton at Durham on October 26, and with Shaw at Raleigh on November 23. The season will close with the Thanksgiving game with Union University at Richmond. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Al Brown Returns Home Friday A cable to Alvin J. Moses, Editor of the Inter-State Tattler, requests that Jeff Blount of the well known Lenox Club and he meet Al Brown World's Bantamweight Champion who will arrive in New York on the Steamer Berengaria this Friday morning. Brown proved a sensation in Denmark, and was lionized on every hand. Twilight Football MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Ten football games which include six conference contests, one intersectional game and four major athletic occasions will be the 1929 menu for the Alabama State Teachers' College Hornets, who begin their practice here at Paterson Field on September 10. In releasing the official schedule, Faculty Manager C. Johnson Dunn, who along with Coaches Gaston F. Lewis and Howard L. Johnson, who have just returned from "Chick" Meehan's coaching school at New York University, noted the fact that games have been arranged with all the institutions yet remaining in the Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Morris Brown and Tennessee State will be played here at Paterson Field, while Florida and Tuskegee will be met at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery. Clark will be played at Columbus, Georgia, and Miles Memorial at Rickwood Park in Birmingham as the season's finale on Thanksgiving Day. Olympic A. C. Bouts The Olympia A. C. in Harlem will be the first of the so-called smaller clubs to inaugurate the indoor season with a banner card of four ten-rounders Saturday night, featuring Jimmy Maloney of Boston and Joe Jeanette 2d of Hoboken in the final bout. The Boston Strong Boy agreed to fight on the opening card because of his friendship for Johnny Keyes, who succeeds Gus Amos as matchmaker. Maioney is not getting a set-up, for his opponent is being coached in the old school of boxing by his namesake, who was a terror in the heavyweight ranks a few years ago. Sunny Jim Williams, Harlem heavyweight, is paired with Rufino Alvarez of Spain in the semi-final. In the other bouts Frankie Marchese and Leo Dazzo meet for the fifth time, but the first over the ten-round route, and Georgie Daggett of Greenwich Village tackles Buddy Saunders, Negro welterweight of Harlem.

SYPHILIS is the cause of general paresis or paralysis. The second period of the disease seizures, and the third period begins from the time when the patient begins to soil himself. 100 All of the physical symptoms become more marked in the third stage. The muscular tremor is constant, and walking becomes dangerous or quite impossible and because of the frail condition of the bones, falls are liable to produce fractures, muscular weakness is marked and the loss of flesh and strength is quite evident. The patient becomes bed ridden, the limbs become drawn up and the patient often relieves himself in bed as the muscular control of the restraining muscles is lost. The muscles of the neck are so contracted, so that the head is kept raised from the pillows and he may grind his teeth for hours at a time. The paretic seizures become more frequent, bed sores develop and extreme care must be taken to keep the patient from dying from exhaustion or infection. There is a progressive degradation in the mental sphere. The dementia becomes profound, so that the patient may not even know his own name he ceases absolutely to lead a mental life and leads only a vegetative existence. There is a mass of stammering, stumbling, incoherent sounds and there may be a word here and there which may indicate the remains of his former delusions. The symptoms of paralytic psychosis may disappear at this stage and the case may terminate in uncomplicated dementia. If no other disease occurs at this stage, the patient becomes unconscious, sinks into coma and dies. YONKERS, NEW YORK, by CURTIES RUTH.

About 1912 a great change took place; white society suddenly went dance mad. It was the birth of the Jazz Age. Hilarious dancing called by various peculiar names such as "Bunny Hug," "Horse Trot," "One Step," and "Lame Duck"' took the places of the Two Step, Lanciers, Gavotte, and such staid old dances. Syncopated music played by blaring trumpets and clashing cymbals was desired as the appropriate music for the new dances. Until 1913, white musicians had played for all society dances, while colored musicians were confined to entertainment. However, since the whites of that period believed that the colored musician was best suited to playing syncopation of the most ragged, noisiest and liveliest sort, they looked to the colored entertainer to supply the desired music. James Reese Europe then president of the Clef Club, heeded the call and sought out men who could supply what society demanded. The New Amsterdam Musical Association could supply much of it and there Mr. Europe went to obtain the desired men. So powerful was the organization at that time, that Mr. Europe in order to use the members, joined the organization. Horns replaced guitars and mandolins, entertainers who played no instruments were almost lost. Musicians who could not read were out of luck. The Clef Club was seriously affected. About this time, the organization found a cause to disagree with their President, Mr. Europe, and ousted him from the organization. James Reese Europe then established his own office and took the play away from the Clef Club. He became a power, and members from both organizations flocked to his banner. He had all of the work. So popular had Mr. Europe become that the white musicians took serious note of it and planned to end his career. They appealed to the union for aid. It very often occurred that two orchestras were hired for society dances. Usually one was white and the other colored. The union took advantage of this fact and told Mr. Europe that in order for union musicians to work opposite him, Mr. Europe must himself have union men. Most all of the white musicians were union but very few of the colored were. They had to join. The Union gradually took the place of importance from the New Amsterdam. As long as you were a union man, no union man could refuse to work with you, so it mattered not if you were not a New Amsterdam mem- CLOSED The play season is closed.
