Agitation will cost us little and will make the officials of the companies very uncomfortable. 1920 Here are some splendid types of Trained Race Girls, who could fill any position in the New York Telephone Company. UY IT - APPLY IT - BROWNLIGHT WILL DO THE REST attitude of the telephone and telegraph companies toward them when they are seeking employment. The New York Telephone Company, the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Postal Telegraph Company are adamant against the employment of Negroes in what colored Democrats have rightly called "The Finest Spot in America for the Negro." The telegraph companies absolutely will not hire a known Negro as a messenger or operator and the telephone company refuses to hire Negroes as central operators or in any other capacity except as restaurant and lavatory attendents. To quote a letter once received from the vice-president of the New York Telephone Company: Friday, October 11, 1929 Telephone NEGROES agree with Jimmy Walker that New York is "The Wonder City," but very frequently they wonder at the attitude of the telephone and telegraph they are seeking employment. The Western Union Telegraph Company are adamant against the employment crats have rightly called "The Fine The telegraph companies absolutely messenger or operator and the te Negroes as central operators or in grant and lavatory attendents. To qu vice-president of the New York Te "As to the question of employment by this company of persons of known Negro descent, we might say that we do employ such persons, having some on our payrolls at the present time assisting us in the conduct of our restaurant and lounge facilities." While the same gentleman asserts that "the position which we have taken with reference to their employment has been a necessary and proper one." Here are s intelligent Negroes will be unable to see the point. If Negroes can handle the food the white empolyes eat and work in the lounges, why cannot Negro girls sit two or three feet from white girls and make telephone connections? They would certainly not be closer to the white girls than they are when they handle their food and work in the company's lavatories. Again, the New York Telephone Company cannot argue that their white employes would refuse to work alongside Negro employes. These white employes use the same transportation to and from work that the Negroes use; they sit alongside Negroes in the theatres; most of them went to school with Negroes and some of them were taught by Negro teachers! Moreover, these telephone girls are not organized into any union unless it be a company-controlled union. The so-called "Open Shop" prevails except among the company's technical workers. Hence, the likelihood of any united revolt against the employment of Negro telephone girls is rendered less likely. Negro Girls Capable Certainly no official of the New York Telephone Company will argue that Negro girls are not capable of being exchange operators. In the first place, it has been clearly shown in the talking pictures that the speech of Negroes is more easily understood than white people. They not only speak clearer but their enunciation is better. In the second place, there are plenty of Negro telephone operators in apartment houses in various parts of the city who are satisfactorily performing their B ALVIN J. MOSES, Editor. Published Friday of every week matter February 26, 1926, at the P tasks. The same white girl whom the Telephone Company thinks might object to the hiring of Negro girls to work beside her is probably living in an apartment house where there is a Negro girl switchboard operator or probably she has a colored sweetie! It is interesting to note that in San Francisco, this same company or its associate has a Chinese telephone exchange in which only Chinese girls are some splendid types of Trained Re employed. The exchange is located in Chinatown. Of course in that instance the element of language enters. It is merely mentioned in case the company should contend that it cannot establish a separate racial exchange. Of course, we do not advocate the establishment of any Negro telephone exchange in Harlem or anywhere else. We do believe, however, that since the New York Telephone Company probably has in the neighborhood of 50,000 Negro subscribers in and around New York City, if not more, it should give Negroes some consideration. We Deserve Consideration We are certainly deserving of consideration and even of special consideration. More and more of our girls are coming out of grammar and high schools every day. If we are to measure up to this civilization—as all the white folks tell us we must do—then we must seek to attain the same level of education and culture as the other citizens. And yet all of us find great difficulty in obtaining employment commensurate with the standard of living we must maintain. Really, the position of many of our educated girls and young women is precarious and dangerous. They have been induced, yes forced, to prepare themselves for a station above that of washerwoman and scrubwoman and then they find the door of opportunity closed to their faces. The job of telephone girl is, we know, not a particularly lucrative one, but we believe the New York Telephone Company should stretch a point and employ a few Negro girls here and there even at the risk of incensing some of its white employes. What could it lose? It is a gigantic T - APPLY IT LET A POOR COMPLEXION SPOIL YOU CLEARS IT OF BLEMISHES. THE RES EXION. AT DRU VNLIGHT M venth Avenue By Samuel I. Brooks monopoly without rivals or competitors. Capitalist society being what it is, the company can always get plenty of labor with little difficulty. Why then maintain the color line in employment? Is merely because of cruelty and cussedness? It certainly looks that way. The Telegraph Companies Let us turn now to the telegraph companies. Negroes send and receive so many telegrams that the Western Union has for a long time maintained offices at 210 W. 135th Street, 563 W. 125th Street and 567 W. 145th Street, to say nothig of its office in the New York Central Station on 125th Street; and ace Girls, who could fill any position the Postal Telegraph has offices at 173 West 125th Street and 2105 Seventh Avenue. One would naturally suppose that these companies would give Negroes the opportunity to at least carry their telegrams through the streets and in and out of apartment houses and offices, but they will do nothing of the kind. The same reasons for the employment of Negroes by the telephone company holds true of the two telegraph companies. They cannot contend that white people do not like black messengers entering their homes because there are thousands of concerns of all kinds in New York City that employ Negro messengers who enter the offices and homes of white people every day. It cannot be said that Negro messengers would not be trustworthy because they City of New York has Negro messengers to say nothing of many bond and brokerage houses in the financial On the Cover: MADELINE BELT, whose curls and baby face are the delight of Connie's Inn and Hot Chocolate patrons. T - BROWNLE OUR GOOD TIMES. OUR CREAM DOES NOT ULTS WILL ASTOUND YOU. COME IN G STORES AND B ANUFACTU district. It cannot be held that Negroes are not sufficiently intelligent because the percentage of illiteracy among Negroes here is lower than any place else in the country, the City of New York has nearly 3000 Negroes on its payroll doing every type of work and the United States Government employs as many or more clerks and mail carriers who have always given satisfactory service. And if it were possible for the two telegraph companies to advance a valid argument against the employment of Negro messengers in New York which is the most tolerant city in the country, how would they argue away the fact that in Atlanta, Ga., one of the most prejudiced cities in the country, to say nothing of some other Southern towns, Negro telegraph messengers are employed? Also, in Chicago, a Northern city where there is ion in the New York Telephone more race prejudice than in New York, the same thing is true. But if any reason for the non-employment of Negro messengers can be dug up, what about the employment of Negro clerks and operators. It seems reasonable that whatever the arguments might be against their employment in white sections, there can certainly be none against their employment in a Negro section. At least the two companies should have Negro staffs in their Black Belt offices. Nor will anyone believe that Negroes are unable to perform these tasks. If the City of New York can intrust the lives of its patients in its city hospitals to Negro physicians and intrust the property of its citizens to Negro policemen, then the two telegraph companies can intrust its telegrams to Negro clerks, operators and messengers. And is there any fear that the Negro clerks will steal? For answer we point to the Negro money order and stamp clerks in the post offices, the Negro staff at the Dunbar National Bank and the Negro Internal Revenue Collector downtown in one of the richest internal revenue districts in the country. What Can We Do About It? It is all very well to talk about these Jim Crow conditions in a city singularly free from segregation and discrimination for an American community, but what can be done about it? Are not these companies great trusts without rivals or competitors? How then can Negroes hope to force them to change their Jim Crow policy. There are three things we can do. First, we can continue to agitate the RIGHT WILL DO WONDERS FOR THE SKIN. IT LIGHT IN AND GET A JAR OF THE PERFECT BEAUTY PARLORS RING COM Excuse for question. Agitation will cost us very little and will make the officials of these companies very uncomfortable. Second, we can organize a public ownership association to cooperate with those agencies working for the ownership and control of the telephone and telegraph trusts by the state and national governments. Third, we can watch for any proposed legislation favoring these utilities and send delegations to Albany to block it. Or even to Washington, D. C. As publicly-owned utilities, these companies would be in the same category with the United States Post Office, the Fire and Police Departments, the city hospitals and other municipal departments, and their emploves would have to pass a municipal civil service examination open to all on a fair basis. Moreover, their exorbitant rates would undoubtedly be lowered. Here is something for the Negro citizen to think seriously about. It will be to his advantage. Company.

Gerakiyn Dismond ' if Feipay, the 4th, and a perfect night, brought to Rockland Palace The Annual Fall Fashion Review, as presented by the Unique Fashion Club of Harlem. We went, expecting a marvelous time. We used every precaution—cocktails, new dresses, an escort of handsome men. But in spite of all our efforts—blaa! The gowns were lovely, the hats were smart, the manikins were attractive. Jeppy: Johnson’s children tripped and twinkled about and Smalls’ Paradise Revue gave them a magnificent start, but after all, this is an age of speed up and when two or three women walk around and around and around and around, bowing and smiling at their friends, that’s no fashion show and the audience is bored. What the poor, dollar-paying public wants, if their murmurs and absence meant anything last Friday, is more pep, less repitition of manikins, genuine displaying of gowns and not so much taking of bows. Our fashion shows sorely need a trained pro- aa The material with which they had to work was lovely. The modistes— Mary Field Strayhorn, Lulu Fields Burney, Frances Varick Dear, Harriet Waller, Mae Howard, Hazel Foster, Jessie Humphrey turned out an ex- quisite array of sport, afternoon and evening gowns and wraps. Mae How- ard’s hats would turn you green with envy. Ethel Baird's heads—a Greta Garbo on Eunice Williams, a Miss America on Eunice Brooks, an Ethel’s Original on Mae Woods and a long bob on Stella Burke were charming. Her husband, Rufus Baird, used one perfect male manikin, for the smart- est of togs. A colorful wicker set dressed the stage; on the promenade was a delightful rest made with orien- tal rugs, cushions, a dressing table and antique chairs. s = * The manikins were Eunice Brooks, vampire of Micheaux’s “When Men Be- tray,” Josephine Glover, Fannie (Bo- jJangles) Robinson, Norma Mitchell, Hazel Foster, Celia Lewis Lacey, Louise Berry, Wilma Greenlee, Margaret Har- ris, Mamie Stimson, Naomi Phillips, Alice Thompson, <Almeter Watkins, Kmma Smith, Willie Holse, Alma Thorn- ton, Gladys Littleton, Sara Warren Davis and Edith Edmonds—at least so the program read. = s * There were a few new notes iv the show. Stylish stouts and the full tigure were featured. One manikin wore the late, long, white kid gloves with evening attire. Full and sweeping dresses moulded to the figure held sway. s ° .

MARKL DEPASS at Howard "U", Anna-Small, Edna Hazelwood, Anna Webb, Louise Lucas of Atlantic City, and the usual number of fellows, piled into two cars bound for the Idyle Wyle on 7th Avenue and 130th Street. I must say that that place is certainly named appropriately for we've never waited so long for a soda before! From there we trailed to Polly Parrots. At Polly's (she's a National Girl Scout Captain, the only one of our group to be that!), we found one of these miniature apartment pianos. The Miss Anna Small favored us with Tschaikowsky (yeah, spelled in one breath), Fifth Symphony, and incidentally "Ain't Misbehavin'" from Connie's "Hot Chocolate." Then Rae gave us something that sounded (to me anyway) like "Hail, Hail the Gang's All here"! Goodness knows—we covered some ground. Saw also Elsie Hunter, and her mother, Helen Johnson Daniels, Rolfe Daniels, Mrs. Gertrude Martin and on the Avenue caught a glimpse of Adam Powell's father, Rev. A. C. Powell. There were others too, but we aren't so good at remembering names. Bill Pickens took me to Dorothy Peterson's Little Theatre meeting—a couple of Wednesdays ago.

Burke's keeping house, attending school—he's a junior at Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, and in the meanwhile hoping he will last through the winter. Burke has written some swell poetry which we hope to get hold of for "this here" column. * * * William Pickens, Jr. (Billums we call him) is doing his duty earnestly at Fordham Law School. The "girl friends", dances, his music (Bill's a marvelous musician), football games, are some of the other things he has on his mind at present outside of his school work. Bill inherited his mother's charming brilliancy—now and then we can detect manners, and his father's, the Dean, in Bill's speech by his "Lord knows"—the fact that he's from down home in Alabama. "Billiums" is so jolly, he won't in the least mind my kidding him in this manner. Is a Lincoln University graduate of 1928. *** Paul Coleman returned from abroad last week. This trip was given to Paul by his father for his excellent work done at Bate's College.

The initial fall meeting of the Nonchalant's Club was held at the home of the president, Edna Burge.

(on the 2nd floor) Bank Building Booths for Rent to Experlenced Operators SYPHILIS is the cause of general paralysis or paresis. One of the most recent aids to the diagnosis of paresis is by the examination of the spinal fluid. There is an increase in the number of cells of the spinal fluid and the Wassermann is positive. ```markdown ``` Some of the diseases which paresis must be differentiated from are locomotor ataxia, neurasthenia, alcoholism, brain tumor, syphilis of the brain, psychoses, epilepsy, and dementia caused by arteric selerosis (hardening of the arteries). A resume of the physical symptoms of paresis are early headache, faulty vision, diminished sensibility to pain, staxia atavia, flattening of the space between the nose and the lips, change in speech, disorders in speech and writing, loss of easy use of the muscles, seizures, changes in the pupils of the eyes and reflexes, and deformity due to contracture of the muscles. A resume of the mental symptoms include impaired judgment, cloudy consciousness, easiness of fatigue, hallucinations rare, fabulation, lack or loss of memory, impaired judgment, fantastic delusions, negative insight into illness, early irritability or mental dullness, quick shifting of emotions, character change, slump in conduct, and inability as to the true insight of the illness. From locomotor ataxia the differentiation of paresis is not so easy, and in fact there remain a few cases where it is impossible, and we must await for the development of further symptoms. This is due to the fact that in their early stages the physical signs may be identical in the two diseases. The differentiation may call for the services of the trained psychiatrist and a large number of cases of both paresis and locomotor ataxia have to be committed to the insane asylum.

The purpose of this convention is to weld together into a national body the various division ladies' auxiliaries of the movement, adopt a national constitution, and elect national officers. The Ladies' Auxiliaries of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, according to A. Philip Randolph, President and General Organizer, have been powerful forces in developing a spirit of determination to fight on until victory is achieved among the porters and maids, and have also been of material aid in the raising of revenue to assist in the struggles. --- According to reports from the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in New York, Eddie Thomas, who assaulted Vice President Ashley L. Totten of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in Kansas City, in April, and who was convicted and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, has escaped. Ellis K. Burton, who was named as the "Brains of the job" and a noted underworld character, was scheduled to be arraigned for trial on September 30th, upon the charge of being an accomplice in the crime. It is therefore significant that the escape of Eddie Thomas, who would serve as the principal witness in the case against Ellis K. Burton, was effected just before the trial of Burton. According to President and General Organizer A. Philip Randolph, all of the resources of the organization will be placed behind the case with a view to determining who is responsible for the escape of Eddie Thomas. Every effort will be made to vigorously prosecute Ellis K. Burton, and secure a proper punishment for his alleged complicity in the crime. * * * On Monday evening, September 30, The Cavaliers entertained a host of friends at their First Complimentary Prom, at the Elk's Imperial Hall. The guests danced to the strains of excellent music played by Clarence Profit and His Profiteers. Altogether a lively and very pleasurable evening rewarded those who attended. During the intermission the officers and members formed a "C" upon the dance floor and were introduced individually, to our guests. The box holders were Phi Sigma Fraternity, Psi Society, The Equity Progressive Club, The Audubon Society, The Falcons, The Satellites, York and Party, The Wacos and The Arbor Vitae Club.

THIS WEEK (UP TO SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18th INCL.) LOUIS ARMSTRONG CHAPPELLE AND STINNETTE IN THE RIOTOUS REVUE "LOUISIANA" With DUSTY FLETCHER and a Great Supporting Cast also GRETA GARBO in "The Single Standard" MONDAY TO FRIDAY — OCTOBER 14, 15, 18, 17, 18 FIVE DAYS ONLY EDGAR DOWELL'S "HOT TIMES and TUNES" WHO MARVEL WASHINGTON Mary Pickford in her first Talking Picture "COQUETTE" At The Lafayette The old S. R. O. sign was hung up early at the Lafayette Theatre yesterday—the opening of a remarkably fine program in which Louis Armstrong and Chappelle and Stinnette are featured on the stage and Greta Garbo occupies the stellar role on the screen. The stage program is the fast, funny and beautiful musical comedy revue, "Louisiana"; the feature photoplay is "The Single Standard" starring Greta Garbo, the screen's most alluring woman. Together, this revue and photoplay make by far the finest program presented in Harlem in many months. Considerable credit is due to Bert Goldberg, George Stamper and Tom Rockwell of the Okeh Record Company, who collaborated in the production of "Louisiana." A sweet, musical, score, some hilariously funny comedy situations and some really splendid chorus and specialty dancing have been welded together by these three gentlemen into an hour and a half of fast, funny and altogether delightful entertainment. The cast is unusually good and includes such well-known musical comedy favorites as Dusty Fletcher, Grand and Wilson, Sterling Grant and Eloise Bennett. The star of the show is, of course, Louis Armstrong, the world's greatest cornetist. Armstrong's appearance on the stage Monday afternoon was a signal for a demonstration. In fact, the demonstration began even before he stepped on the stage—just as the orchestra struck up the opening bar of "Ain't Misbehavin'", the featured song of "Hot Chocolates," in which, Armstrong is one of the principal characters. In response to thunderous applause Armstrong rendered six numbers and was only allowed to leave the stage when he was completely exhausted. This man is certainly a genius with the cornet as well as a pleasing singer, and has risen to the very front rank of stage favorites. At The Alhambra In "The Woman Tamer" at the Alhambra Theatre popular Bob Bramlett, founder of the Four F's, the famous organisation of actors, plays the part of a rich society youth whose motto is "Treat em' rough, and make 'em like it." Bessie Wrightson is the society girl who loves to rule men—until she is pursued by the woman tamer. There is comedy, drama, mystery and surprise in this very up-to-date affair, with suspense to the very end. S. H. Dudley, Jr., is a sweet boy, finally captivated by Edna Harris. A hold-up man and his girl confederate are exceedingly well played by Thomas Moseley and Hazel Van Vlerah. It all happens in winter on a lonely island where the rich youth has his hunting camp. The country sheriff, played by Lloyd Hollins, after many complications, gets his crooks, and the woman tamer gets his girl. "Moonbeams" begins with a pretty fantasy in which Edna Young is "the girl in the moon." Her worshippers dance in her honor. That delightful tenor, George W. Bias, sings to her, and one poor fool goes "moon-struck" over her. Edgar Martin and John La Rue, both comedians who are new to the Alhambra, join with Crackshot Hackley and Manda Randolph in keeping the fun flying. Mary Clemons does the sort of eccentric dancing that was so enthusiastically received in "Blackbirds" both on Broadway and in Paris. "Underground." the startling picture feature, abounds in revelations of life in modern London. "Hot Chocolates" The regular midnight performance of Connie's "Hot Chocolates" has been changed from Tuesday to Thursday evening, and the matinees will be held on Wednesday hereafter instead of Thursday. This change was brought about by the tremendous demand for a Thursday midnight show, and naturally it would have been almost a physical impossibility for the artists to perform thrice that day. The midnight performance audiences have been found to be most responsive, because it seems that artists of various other productions turned out en masse and derived as much pleasure in witnessing the seasons's colored musical revue hit as the lay-man.

John and George Kendall Score Brilliant Friday, October 11, 2010 The West End Theatre, latest addition to that small but gradually growing group of popular priced play houses in Harlem opened its doors to a large and appreciative audience. Drama lovers last Monday night and won the unstinted praise and approval of a discriminating patronage. Broadway and Harlem met and applauded with vim, vigor and enthusiasm some of Harlem's finest performers. Several occasions during the hand-hanging and general good feeling which sounded time and time again throughout the performance. It seemed a if the audience would rise as a single unit and command the players to present themselves individually for special applause. The National Colored People organized under the personal supervision of Harold Hevia, led by Ida Anderson as the leading woman and Vern Johns as the leading man, presented "Seventh Heaven." A drama acts. The direction was by George MacEntee, and to each and every job must go the pain for good job. It was a Broadway production "made in Harlem." but with no Broadway trimmings—and now Did you ever see George Ramsay or real tears? In the role of Doddy a happy go lucky taxi cab driver, George cried when the news was imputed from the war front that Chico was dead. Did you ever see Idia Anderson with her hands in pitiful misery suppressed speechless by sad news? In the top of Diane, Chico's unwed child brought tears to the eye of the audience. Once more Idia Anderson was supreme in dramatic repertoire, and again she thrilled her audience in the days of her greatest triumph, and other critics to the contrary notwithstanding. And now comes a controversy in reviewer saw Vero H. Dunn presenting his part as Chief the first sweeper and went to the theatre prepared for a fair-entertainment performance.

At last an organization has been formed operating in the Harlem district, that promises to become a boon to the colored performers and producers. Mr. Bernard L.

From a recent portrait of DR. J. C. DELANO, Founder of "COCO-TAR" Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of rock battle, and accidentally struck a middle-aged woman. Dr. J. C. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion of the brain. Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the bruised spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano; so much so that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was: that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of the hair, and after experimenting for twenty-seven months Dr. Delano list of the Abyssinia Baptist Church.

DOCTOR DISCOVERS WHAT GROWS HAIR IS LONGER IN MONTHS FREE SAMPLES TO ALL PER TO PROVE MERITS announced that he had discovered a certain herb, which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocoanut Oil and California Pine Tar, would produce a healthy, luxuriant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety-nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco-Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been of phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom die. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow—for science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair roots live.

H! RAH! LEGIANS --- FRENCH IMPRESSIONS By Edward G. Perry AFTER ten weeks in London, I decided to spend the summer in Paris. The day I crossed the Channel in company with two friends the water was very calm. I had hopes of a rough crossing. There were no Channel swimmers, either, making it a rather unexciting and tiresome journey. COURAGE The courage of physical combat is common— Moral courage is greater and uncommon. It takes moral courage to stick to the narrow path of self-improvement. Don't weaken—it is never too late to start saving systematically. The DUNBAR NATIONAL BANK OF NEW YORK FRENCH IM By Edward AFTER ten weeks in London, Paris. The day I crossed the the water was very calm. I had no Channel swimmers, either, make some journey. Paris! The most beautiful city in the world. Would I find it so? Taxis, taxis and taxis! Cafes, cafes and cafes! The sidewalks were crowded with people strolling along or sitting in the cafes. Buildings grown beautiful with ages. Shops with facades in the modern manner. I was so fascinated as the taxi whirled us from the Gare St. Lazare to a hotel. The hotel was one of the best of the smaller ones. The exterior and the interior were very colorful with modern designs. Up on the left, to a room that was bright and airy—a bathroom with excellent equipment, including an oblong bowl that puzzled me. I soon learned it was called a bedet. This piece of lavatory equipment comes with every room in Paris. In the hotels of most cities abroad one can ride up on the "lift" but must walk down. So, we descended to the street. We soon found a place at a cafe on the Boulevard Montparnasse I wondered how any of the cafes did business, but I soon discovered each one had its habitues. They are very fascinating places. After ordering a drink, sipping slowly, you watch the crowd pass in and out the cafe, and those who stroll along the sidewalk. Never have I seen people walk as leisurely as those Paris crowds. The service in a good restaurant is grand. Suggestions are made by the patrone; special hors d'evres shown by the garcon. The wine and bread are brought; butter is extra. French bread is delicously hard and crusty. You sip wine, eat bread and linger over your hors d'evres for many minutes. No one is in a hurry in France during a meal. The food will delight the palate of any epicurean. When French food is good, it is very good. If eaten in some second or third class restaurant, it is bad—it is very bad. A waiter or taxi driver is always given ten per cent of the bill. If one can afford it, give them a frane or a few centimes more to be assured of pleasant service when you visit the cafe or restaurant again. For—the French are like elephants—they never forget. At the opera, in theatres or the cinema, one buys a program and tips the usher. Please don't try to get by without tipping the usher! When she has finished telling you in a very loud voice just what she thinks of you, you will either want to sneak out or drop through the floor. Also, don't give them too small an amount, for they will ask you for more! The French france is now down to four cents. Take a taxi in Paris. The first drop is one france, twenty-five centimes five cents. A ride over the entire city during the day amounts to twenty-five frames, or less. Short distances come to three or four frames. So, one rides in taxis often. But it The courage of phy mon— will soon amount to something if it is done too often. After twelve in the evening, the rates are doubled. So they get you after all, if you are a long distance from home, there being no other transportation after twelve forty-five. Kue Parks underground or subway is called the Metro. Riding second class will cost you sixty centimes, and first class, one franc. The difference: First class seats are upholstered. The same system of classes is used on the bus or surface car. The small Parisian shops carry the novel and unusual articles. Most of these shops are very attractive. They are also expensive. Department stores are very unattractive on the ground floor. In the best of them -Printemps, Galleries Lafayette, Samaritaine and Bon Marthe -the first impression is that created upon entering Gimbelis, Bloomingdales or Hearn's, here. Too much on display. Most of these stores have sidewalk counters, where goods can be purchased cheaply, as in our bargain basements. If you must shop in a large store where articles are attractively displayed, and you have a fat purse, go to the Grande Maison Blanc. Here you will also find a large number of English-speaking clerks. But every store has an interpreter. If you are a woman, you have wondered about the great designers of women's fashion. Yes, they are there. But one must be a member of some inner circle to secure a card of admiration to the salons of these great fashion artists. Poiret, Patou, Lannoin, Denny these names can be seen on the windows of buildings as you ride along the Champs Elysées. Dictators of the women's fashion for the world! This is the only glimpse the average woman in Paris can get of these creators. According to Parisian standards, American women are the best dressed women in Europe. There are many of them in Paris and one can always pick them out because of the same chicness that begins there. Among the average French people, few women are as well dressed. But the Parisian women have mastered the art of make up. There, the rouge, lip stick and eyebrow that art put on without ablemish. The French men try to be as chic as their women. Most of them wear suits of light blue, purple or a bright red-brown. To these suits are added colorful shirts, ties and hats. The shoes are light tan, or two tone. Most of them carry a rane a square one and stroll the boulevards with a grand swagger. Register and Register TO-DAY!

If on the Road we'd try to make a friend Of every lonely heart we chance to meet, The Road would hide a treasure 'round each bend And we would trand the way with eager feet." This one speaks for itself. "Dear Jackie—May I address you thus, as I have perceived that others have done so? It is astounding that a man of my description and experience could be lonely in such a great town as this, but I am. "Have traveled extensively and engaged in varied enterprises, also I have hundreds of acquaintances but yet I feel that there is an individual somewhere, round about, that I can confide in and fill my bill of comrade, pal and lover.

I have a pronounced clean cut profile, curly black hair, deep-set black eyes, Indian tan complexion, and I am about to leave behind me my 26th year. Am also an athlete and a Lincoln University graduate. Can be seen in the flesh on short notice." --- "There is only one unpardonable sin," a lecturer said the other night," and that is to shut out of your mind ideas that will uplift you." "I was afraid, and now am sure, that I addressed you erroneously but I am sure you will understand and accord me a measure of forgiveness commensurate with the deed, because it is not my intention to offend. I must admit that I have just recently become a constant reader of your L. H. Column and am surprised to learn that you are of the opposite sex, as I have always thought of you as being a man. Anyway, it's a wonderful work you are carrying on, Miss Nobile, and I know it must mean happiness to one that's able to brighten the dark spots in so many lonely hearts. "One could hardly think, coming from a large city as I have, that there could be any loneliness, but out here it seems desolate. I suppose because there are such few people of our race. I have many, many friends back East but I am just tired. I want to be away from the 'old world,' meet new people, make new plans . . . oh, just start all over again. And with your help, dear Lady, I know I shall find happiness while I am trying to come back." I am sure someone can find time to chase these lonely hours.

Would like a man about six ft. tall, not over 180 lbs., not too wild and with good understanding. If he wishes he can call to see me or write. Would like to see a photo. Will send mine." Letter of Thanks. "Dear Jackie-I am writing to let you know how happy you have made me and to thank you. It's beyond words how much I appreciate you for finding me a nice young lady.

The best way to do that is to "grab" a nurse. "Am a graduate nurse, 25 years old, five ft. 8 inches, brownskin, coarse black hair, pleasing personality and a lover of all sports. I play golf, swim, dance and like music and a nice time, but do not drink, smoke or pet. Am employed at present in an institution. "Would like to meet a man not under 30, brownskin or lighter, about five ft. 8 or more; one who loves sports and dancing, intelligent, of good character and who doesn't mind working and would appreciate a good woman, who wants a home and children. I wouldn't mind a widower. Here's another girl looking for the right kind of pal. I tell you they're hard to find. "Will you kindly help me? Have been here six months and have not found the right kind of a girl to pal around with. Like all sorts of sports, dancing and shows. Live in Jersey City but work in New York. Am nineteen, considered attractive and would like to pal around with the same type." Somewhere there is a sweet girl waiting to answer this letter I am sure. "I am 26 years of age, weigh about 140 lbs., five ft. 6 in. tall, color, light. Have roamed around the East for the last ten years. Am Southern born. Have met scores of girls but it seems as if I have not met the right kind. Have fairly good position, am fond of all out door sports and good books. Don't care for dances, although I can dance. Like good shows, dramas mostly. Have been waiter, bellman, Pullman porter and what have you? Now have position in the city. Would like very much to meet a girl in the city or vicinity. It doesn't matter where she is from. "I want to meet a girl that is modern in every respect but nice, not more than 28 years old, not any taller than I and not over 140 lbs. Color does not matter but she must have nice hair. "Jackie, I wonder if you could help me find such a friend? I am sure I would make an ideal companion." * * * I shouldn't have much trouble locating this youngster. "I have been a reader of your column for the past two months and have decided to board your Lonesome Heart Ship and put in my oar. Have been in New York six months, having been transferred here from Akron, Ohio, with a firm I've worked for seven years. Since coming here I've met several girls but not the right type to call a friend or pal. Do not think that I am hard to please but with your experience in letters received for your column, mine is not an unusual case. Just picture a fellow coming to a big city like New York trying to get acquainted by going around with a bunch of fellows and meeting with different girls just out for a good time.

Nathalie Macklin, Local Business Student, Leads Large Field of "Classic" Contestants 1929 "Queen of the Classic" Shows High Class Candidates From Business, College and High School—First Period Ends This Saturday Nite. NATHALIE MACKLIN, an honor student at the New York Academy of Business, of which Mr. R. W. Justice is the director, climbed into the leading position of the "Queen of the Classic" contest, when all returns were tabulated last Sunday. Miss Macklin, besides being an honor student, is a member of the Young Peoples' Fellowship at St. Phillips Church and private secretary to Dr. Alonzo Smith. Friends of Miss Macklin state unreservedly that she will stay in the lead until the contest is over. However, it is needless to say there are many others in the race who think otherwise and stand ready to dispute her claim. THE LADY OF THE RAIN Nathalle Macklin, N. Y.

As a result of her efforts she was offered and accepted a contract with one of the biggest musical shows at a reputed salary of $125 weekly. Before she entered the contest she was unknown to a host of subsequent admirers Φ One of these is Esme Birbeck, who is also an honor student at Lincoln Secretarial School. Miss Birbeck was a starter last year, but did not finish among the winners. Another is Miss Edna Barnes, of Cedar Manor, L. I. Miss Barnes is putting Cedar Manor on the map and she says its going to stay there. Also there is Miss Mae Swails of Jack's Restaurant, who occupies the comfortable third place; Gloria McCutcheon, a dramatic student; Ruth Church of Alberga & Hamilton's Restaurant; Miss Servina Saunders of New Rochelle, N. Y.; Edith Smith of the Lafayette Theatre and Katherine Noisette of the Michaex Film Company. These are not all but they will keep Miss Mucklin moving along at a pretty swift pace if she fulfill's the hopes of her friends and becomes in fact "Queen of the Classic" for 1929. A glance at the names of candidates which grace the active list of contestants will convince the most skeptical observer that this is indeed a high class group of young ladies, anyone of whom is deserving of the support they seek from their friends and the public. Listed among them are representative types of the higher form of stage, commercial and scholastic activities. It means that the five major prize winners in this contest must excel in more ways than one their friendly sisterly rivals for the coveted honors and prizes. And while we are on this phase of the contest it might be well to add that there is a well defined something which serves to make a girl more popular. Just what that 'something is the candidates themselves must find out. THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD ULMA BANKS, formerly cashier for the Savoy Ballroom and Lafayette Theatre, who is now smiling at those who purchase tickets at the beautiful West End Theatre.

Albirdie Martin, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Alma Stratton of the Edmund Parris Photo Studio, Philadelphia.
