HAS THE LARGEST The New York Age VOL. XXVIII No. 48 PHOTOSFROMALL SECTIONS OF U.S. Better Babies Contest Has Aroused Interest of Mothers in Many States TO PUBLISH ALL PHOTOS So Many Photos Received It Has Been Decided to Continue Reproducing Until All That Will Make Good Cuts Are Published MUST COME BEFORE SEPT. 2 Contest Closes September 2 and No Photos Will Be Eligible For Consideration Unless in The Age Office On Or Before That Date—Judges' Decision Will Be Deferred. TO PUBLISH ALL PHOTOS Because of the large number of photos received in the Better Babies Contest, it has been decided to continue the publication of the kiddie's pictures until all that can be used are published. ALL PHOTOS THAT ARE SUITABLE WILL BE REPRODUCED. The decision of the Judges will be deferred until the pictures have been published. BUT THE CONTEST CLOSES ON SEPTEMBER 2, AND NO PHOTOS WILL BE ELIGIBLE THAT ARE RECEIVED AFTER THAT DATE. That interest in THE NEW YORK AGE'S BETTER BABIES' CONTEST is not confined to any particular locality is clearly shown by the photographs reproduced this week. The states represented cover the United States, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the far northwest to the extreme southeast. States represented include New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Texas, Nebraska, Oregon and New Mexico. Localities represented in previous issues have been New York City and Brooklyn, N. Y., Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, the District of Columbia, Louisiana, Alabam and Missouri. Pictures are in hand from North Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia, Illinois, Arizona, Massachusetts and Mississippi. From many of these localities have come several entrants, and as in every mail new photos are received it is altogether probable that practically every state in the Union will be represented ere the closing of the contest, Thursday, September 2. Contest Gloves September 2. Contest Closes September 2. All photos to be eligible for consideration must be received in the office of THE NEW YORK AGE ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 2. The contest absolutely closes on that date. All photos received, which can be acceptably reproduced, will appear in THE AGE. The publication of the photos will continue until all have been used. As has been emphasized in these columns, some of the photos cannot be reproduced because they are not suitable. These photos will go into the competition without prejudice, as publi- CHARLES BANKS First Vice-President of National Negro Business League catter will not, in any sense, have any matter in the judging. The decision of the judges will be announced often and in this have been published. We have been received a number of photos on buttons, ping pongs, and so on are faded and dull. These images are reproduced. The better the photo, the better the reproduction, but any direct in a photo is magnified and emphasized when reproduced in ours. PYTHIAN SUPREMELODGE HOLDING 18TH SESSION PYTHIAN SUPREMELODGE HOLDING 18TH SESSION Ten Thousand Knights of Pysthias and Calantkians Gather at Columbus, Ohio Supreme Chancellor Green Will Probably Have a Walkover For Re-election As No Opposition Has Materialized Strong Enough To Be Considered-Uniform Rank Is At Camp Harry Ward. (Staff Correspondence.) COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 17.—The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, with its auxiliary bodies, the Uniform Rank and the Court of Calanthe, assembled in this city Mopday for its eighteenth biennial session. There is a large attendance, but not so large as the attendance at Baltimore two years ago. A conservative, estimate is that by Thursday there will be ten thousand visitors here. The hall arrangements for the meetings and entertainments are all that could be desired, and far better than is usually afforded. The Uniform Rank, under Major General Jackson, here in camp for the week, makes a splendid showing. Supreme Chancellor Green and the entire list of supreme officers will undoubtedly be re-elected according to the belief prevailing among the representatives to the Supreme Lodge. At one time it was anticipated another Richmond would enter the list to contest with Supreme Chancellor Green the race for the highest position in the order, and it was variously rumored that Ohio, the host, would emerge with a full-fledged candidate. But when the delegates began to arrive Sunday and Monday it was a case of "all Green," because of the fact that the order has grown and prospered under the present wise administration. Governor and Mayor on Program. The opening of the reception was anticipated by a public reception on Monday Smith at 8 o'clock to the Chamber of Commerce, East Broad street.

To-night the combined memorial service will be held at the St. Paul's A. M. E., church, and there will be a great dramatic parade. At Camp Gen. Harry Ward. The uniformed rank is encamped at Hayes avenue and Atchinson street, and Major General R. R. Jackson of Chicago is in command. The camp is called the Camp General Harry Ward, and the formal opening was had at 7 o'clock Sunday morning when the colors were raised and saluted by the Columbus companies. The local companies put on the first guard mount at 9 o'clock, and at 2 o'clock the Ninth Battalion band, Columbus, gave a sacred and descriptive concert. The First Illinois regiment gave a musical drill, followed by an exhibition drill by Palestine, Company B, Cincinnati, with dress parade at 5:30 o'clock. The duly duties devolved upon companies from Pennsylvania, Kansas, Alabama, Florida, District of Columbia North Carolina and South Carolina. The concert was by the First regiment band, Pittsburgh, and First regiment band, Illinois, with an exhibition drill by Columbian Battle Axe Cadet Company, St. Louis. To-day's evolution include guard mount by companies from first and second regiments, Ohio, and from Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma and Minnesota; concert by first regiment cadet band, St. Louis, and second regiment band, Philadelphia; exhibition drill by Palestine, Company B, Cincinnati.

Friday night at the camp grounds will be held the prize: drills and the men will break camp on Saturday, morning. August 15 George Edward Morrow Cannady 2 years, 3 months Portland, Oregon 10 1 U. S. PROTECTORATE IS NEEDED FOR IS NEEDED FOR HATT The Associated Press dispatches of Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning carried the following statement from Dr. Booker T. Washington concerning the Haitian troubles. Dr. Washington and Mrs. Washington in Nova Scotia had been in Nova Scotia before going to Boston for the National Business League. The dispatch-says: Hallifax, N. S., Aug. 16—"It is my opinion that the time has come for the United States to assume a protectorate over the Republic of Haiti, the same as over San Domingo," said Dr. Booker T. Washington. "There will never be peace in Haiti until the people have been taught how to work. Hard work, a good system of education and a firm hand-would be the salvation of Haiti, the United States would do all that." Dr. Washington declared the history of Haiti did not prove the Negro unfit to govern himself if any more than the history of the doctor, the Jesuit, the priest, the white man unfit to rule. RESIGNS AS SPECIAL ASSISTANT ATTORNEY. pursal to The New York Age. in the New York Age. Western Brook, D. C., Aug. 18.—James A. Cohn, special assistant attorney in the Department of Justice, tendered his resignation on Saturday, August 14, and will enter private practice of law about the middle of September. Counselor Cohn was the first colored man to be employed as special assistant in the Department of Justice and he was the last one in the service. He has given all of his service in the office of the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, his specialty being the handling of cases brought under the pure food law. He has also handled a number of cases relating to naturalization matters and forfeiture of recognizances. He was appointed by Attorney General Charles J.

ATHENS, GA., Aug. 17.—The Ingram-Davis administration had little difficulty in maintaining its prestige at the twenty-ninth annual District Grand Lodge, G. U. O. F., which met here on August 10, 11 and 12. The opposition engineered by Ed Pharrow, Doc Daniel, and Antone Graves was in evidence but the administration's steam roller could not be stopped. Graves was exceedingly vociferant and it became necessary for the Ingram-Davis people to call in the arm of the law. A policeman took charge of Graves and escorted him from the room. Pharrow, opposing Ingram for grand master withdrew from the race after the hallowing had proceeded for awhile, as he saw that his chances were nil. Ben Davis was re-elected without opposition, and his salary fixed for the next year at $2,700, or $25 per month. Ingram gets $1,200 per year, and J. C. Styles of Dawson, elected grand treasurer, gets $900 per year. The meetings were held in Morton's Theatre, and at the opening on Tuesday Mayor W F. Dorsey delivered a welcome address. Others welcoming the body were Dr. W. H Harris, Mme. E. Brown and Dr. C Max Manning. For the grand lodge responses were made by C. W. Hill and Dr. W. F. Penn of Atlanta, Mme Susie Dasher of Dublin and Dr. E. J. Brinson of Americus. Grand Lodge Worth Over Half Million The auditor's report showed that the order possesses assets of $557,545.95 with a cash balance of $569,943.63. Liabilities amount to only $12,395. Since the last session two years ago the grand lodge has paid out in death claims $214,131 for 980 claims, 550 claims the Household of Ruth has paid out $47,430, a total paid out for death claims of $261,561. There are 863 lodges with approximately 30,000 members, and 692 households with a membership of 20,609. Rentals from the headquarters's building amounted to $15,000.

WANT MEMBER ON THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Special to TUR New York Agc Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 18—With six prospective vacancies on the Board of Education the Negroes of this city are campaigning to secure at least one representative on the Board Many of the most prominent Negroes in the city are being mentioned for the position among the names suggested being Bishop Levi J. Coppin, the Hon. George H. White, the Rev. Henry L. Phillips, the Rev. William A. Creditt, the Rev. Matthew Andersen, the Rev. E. W. Moore, Dr. N. F. Mossell and Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER IN THE BUCKEYE STATE Ohio Men Who Are Looming Up In That State As Presidential Possibilities. MYRON HERRICK IS STRONG Former Ambassador to France is Said To Be a Receptive Candidate But Indications Are That He is the Strongest Man Under Consideration—Senator Burton and Gov. Willis in The Race. (Staff Correspondence.) Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 17.—Being here to report the proceedings of the Supreme Judge, Knights of Pythias, has afforded an opportunity to catch some sideights on politics in Ohio, Ohio, always an interesting and active state, politically, is perhaps more interesting and more active than ever just at this time, and especially so with race men gathered here from all parts of the country who are not novices in the game of politics. Ohio appears to have three native sons flirting with the presidential heir former Senator Theodore Burton, former Ambassador to France, Myron T. Herrick, and the present governor, Hon. Frank B. Willis. Former Senator Burton is fairly an active candidate now, and his friends are at work in and out of the state, enlarging on his record as a statesman. Former Ambassador Myron T. Herrick is but a receptive candidate, but it is currently reported that within a few months he will emerge from the receptive class and enter the active class. Governor Frank B. Willis is also regarded as a receptive candidate, but from talk gleaned among these Ohioans his availability with each recurring day appears less promising. Governor Willis Has Lost His Prestige In fact, one gleams, talking with these Ohioans that he will have his hands full to secure a renomination as governor. A few short months ago he was the idol of voters in Ohio because of the alleged report that he had stopped the production of "The Nigger," a photoplay, in Ohio, and had declared that the other objectionable play "The Birth of a Nation," should not be produced in Ohio. It appears from what your correspondent learns, that "The Nigger" was shown in a number of cities, after the governor's alleged stopping of it, and in spite of repeated remonstrances from Editor L. Smith of the Cleveland "Gazette." The photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," is stated has not applied for permit to enter Ohio. But the governor lost caste with the Negro voters of Ohio when, after eight months recumbency of his office, he refused to fulfill his pre-nomination and pre-election promise to accord them representation superior to qualified ones. He had been employed. Up to date, although he has made something near two hundred appointments, not a Negro has been named by him. He continues to make promises and continues, almost daily, to make white appointments, but to Negro appointments. Now that the recognition apples, almost consumed the Negro voters of Ohio have concluded that there will be "no core," and that the Hon. Frank B. Willis has simply banned them another lemon. It is claimed here that the Negro vote swapped into the balance for him, at the primaries, nominated him, and that only for the fifty thousand Negro votes he received solidly he never would have been elected. From what your correspondent cleans it is more than likely that the same Negro votes that helped to nominate him at the primaries a year ago, will be cast to defeat his nomination a year hence, simply because he utterly failed to redeem his predecession and ante-election promises made to them. Myron Herrick Strong Factor. At this writing former Ambassador Herrick looks like the best bet for Ohio's support for the presidency, and this is borne out by the assurances of support Mr. Herrick receives from other states, and especially from the captains of great industries who believe a business man, so eminently successful as Mr. Herrick has been is needed at this period to restore business confidence, and start the factories up again, and transform the great army of unemployed into an army of employed at good wages, Mr. Herrick appears to be the favorite with Grasses with whom I have tasted. In Ohio, and especially here at the State Capitol, politics is an animated subject of discussion, and every Ohioan is as well versed in politics as a duck is with water. Watch out for the development of another Mark Hanna to sound the slogan "Give us a full dinner paul." Herrick being the beneficiary of that slogan in 1916 as was McKinley in 1896. VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR QUAKER CITY KIDS Special to THE NEW YORK AQK. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 18.—Vocational training for four hundred children of the Thomas Durham school 16th and Lombard streets, will be introduced January.1, 1916. There are 1200 Negro children enrolled in this school. It is planned, in case the experiment is successful, to introduce vocational training into fourteen other Negro schools.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACK Special to THE NEW York Act. BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 18.—Ordinarily known as the "Athens of America," the seat of learning, the "Hub City," the "City of Culture," the "Bean City" and various other cognomens indicating that Boston is a city devoted to the cultivation of the higher refinements, this week the city is possessed of a different spirit. The atmosphere is charged with commercialism and the spirit is changed from contemplation of poetic times to consideration of ledgers and how to bring the balance from loss to profit. So far as the Negro business man of the country is concerned, for this week, "all roads lead to Boston," and consequently this quaint old town is having a new experience. Fifteen years ago the National Negro Business League was born in this town, and the Bostonians are amazed at the wonderful growth of the lusty child. From all sections of the United States from practically State in the Dust Bowl to women of the endeavors and struggles along commercial lines have led to the building of solid and enduring mercantile enterprises are coming into Boston by every train and boat for the purpose of exchanging ideas and experiences. Royal Welcome to League. Boston and her daughter, Cambridge, are opening wide their arms and giving the members of the League a royal welcome. It was a happy idea that brought this body here for the celebration of its fifteenth anniversary. It furnishes an object lesson to the great New England section of what is being accomplished by the race in the sections of the country most thoroughly impregnated with racial prejudice and restrictions. It is a busy scene around at 121 Kendall street, the Boston Local League headquarters, where Benjamin F. Jones, chairman of the housing committee, has his headquarters. Here is where the negotiate committee meets to reach the city of Boston when their arrival and information as to stopping places, arrangements for the meeting, and whatever other advice or consideration is desired. Mr. Jones has an ample corps of assistants, and the large number of incomers are being handled with expedition and given satisfactory service. Te Opening Session. This morning at 10.30 o'clock all the streets leading to the convention hall, Garrison and St. Botolph streets, were unusually lively. There were to be seen wending their way to the hall-men and women whose attire and carriage be-tokened that they came from many dif- EMMETT J.

J _ _ But higft efficiency depends not ‘only upon physical firness and Stvict attention to work! it depends also upon the ability to eriergize. With his body in fit condition and his mind centered on his work, la_man is sure to make progress, but his progress may be in a rat at a uniform speed, never faster or-slower. “To be able to energize is:to be able.to.get out-of a rut, to increase the speed. “ *: You,go to’buy: an automobile and the dealer tells you that the lengine js: forty-horse-power but ‘that it can develop: seventy. The! mind is likewise: capable of developing additional brain-power, This, lextrd brain-power is developed-by‘energizing. .- . *. sj ~ Energizing is a difficult feat, at first.

When we ‘have repeated this operation often enough. the mind .will get down to work and develop its additional brain-power: then we are in the possession of the ability to energize. * Would it be too severe to say;that theinwillingness to-energize is one of ‘our racial faults? We think not. And ‘this .is. perhaps. truer of-our professional men and women than it is of those of us who are engaged, in business and tlie,trades. It'is not a fact that the majority ‘of our young. men and woimiencleave school with the idea that their diploma is a certificate tothe effect that they have reached their highest: point of development? And ‘are they not too often content to run along at the speed they" acquired at school=and they: frequently allow that to slow down. = Of course, there are some professions in which ‘we are handi- capped : in which there are some obstacles io prevent our developing a ‘very high rate of speed. ~For example, colored lawyers are handi- capped,in:this’manner. In the-first place our people do not furnish enough‘of the kind of cases and the kind of-fees that go to make great and successful lawyers. «.In the second place the colored law: yér often’ has to encounter a prejudiced judge and jury... As an,illustration on the.other hand, the, colored! ‘doctor’ has no giich handicaps.’ The Negro, perhaps to show that he is'a full-fledged Imember’of the human race, has every kind of disease and ailment that anybody else has. ‘There are people. who would delight in prov ena thar the Monro te GLEN Hore cortait digeacks laorler to dene arl-education that’ will be of most service or at léast thé kind. that “can be utilized by the individual, either by engbling him to find a. field in which he can use and de~ velop what he has studied or:that may, finally result. in-<furnishing him & means-to seciire livelihood, The business field for Negroestis xetting “Broader. and_ broader. “In the advange notices of the fifteenth anniversary of the found- ing of the National: Negro» Busi- tess League you will sce empha- sized that where in 1900-Wve had 20.000 Negro busitiess enterprises. now there are~45,000.

Properly THEATRICAL COMMENT SOME banner bills have been put on at the Lafayette Theatre during the summer months, but none has eclipsed the one presented at the popular Seventh avenue house, the first half of this week. The Lafayette patrons have been a bit spoiled by getting big time vaudeville at small-time prices, and the bill the first half, headed by Miller & Lyles, from a standpoint of quality, would have satisfied the patrons of a Keith house. Miller & Lyles, those two clever and talented young comedians and playwrights, have the funniest black-face act in vaudeville. It is the best team under cork that has ever played at the Lafayette Theatre in the entire history of the house. Miller & Lyles enjoy the distinction of being one of the few colored acts that has worked steadily on the big time during the past four or five years, but after you see their side-spitting turn you do not have to scratch your head and wonder why. Miller & Lyles do not sing a note. They consume most of their time in dialogue of the cross-fire order, and nearly every line of their repartee is productive of a big laugh—a full-grown one. And as for their finish, their burlesque boxing contest is a big scream. Miller & Lyles are soon to head a big colored show, and if they are even almost as funny in the musical production as they are in their vaudeville turn the success of the show is assured. If you want to forget the European War "justice in Georgia," hard times and the Wilson Administration, visit the Lafayette Theatre this week and see Miller & Lyles. There is much to commend in the act presented by the Eight Dusky Arabs who do some very creditable dancing and tumbling. A feature of the turn is the duet on one-stringed "violinettes." These two young colored men have appeared separately in the various vaudeville offerings, but playing together is quite a novelty. Happy Simpson opened the bill with his barrel specialty, and his efforts in getting in and out of barrels amuse. The act received a big hand at the finish. Stanley & Lambert, a man and woman with good voices, garnered in their share of the applause. All their numbers were well rendered and well received, but "Love Me or Leave Me Alone," artistically done, provoked the most enthusiasm. Whitney & Wilson, two women, one very plump and the other very slender present a turn with some original ideas and this skit is destined to make good on the big time the coming season. The bill the first half closed with the Girl in the Parrot, a young woman who possesses a remarkable memory and can count columns of figures and do other things that stamp her as a prodigy. She is assisted in her turn by her father and mother. John Rucker, the 'Alabama Blossom,' will be the feature of next week's bill at the Lafayette. Even in the heated period the country store continues as a feature, and is held every Tuesday and Saturday. Tim Moore, who was formerly well liked by some theatregoers in Harlem, is being roundly criticized for breaking his contract with the Lafayette Theatre last week. That Moore would sign contracts and then fail to live up to them is a difficult thing for his former admirers to believe. Nevertheless, it is true that the comedian has joined the ranks of contract-breakers. Just why Tim Moore made a verbal contract with Lester A. Walton some weeks ago in St. Louis to play the Lafayette Theatre and later sent signed contracts to C. W. Morganstern from Indianapolis, only to break both of them, remains a mystery. As is usually the case, the Lafayette Theatre management offered the comedian more money than he is getting in another house in the country. So it could not be that he became dissatisfied over the financial end of his contract. However, it will come to the surface sooner or later what prompted Moore to resort to dishonorable methods. The time has come when colored managers should co-operate in punishing all acts that make a practice of breaking contracts, for such acts, no matter how great a success they are artistically, do much to lower the standards of the theatrical profession. A blacklist should be kept of all turns who do not keep their word and regard a contract merely as "aserap of paper." As for Tim Moore, his failure to keep his engagement at the Lafayette Theatre is no closed incident by any means. The team of Shelton Brooks and Clarence Bowen was at the Grand Theatre, Chicago, Ill., the week of August 9 to 15. Copeland and Payton were at the New Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, Pa., the week of August 9 to 15. Billy B. Johnson's Trio were at the New Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, Pa., the week of August 9 to 15. John Burker Will Head Bill at the Lafayette Theatre Next Week. Roy Morse, who won the national junior 100-yard and senior 220-yard championships at San Francisco on August 6 and 7, will reach home this week. The Salem-Crescent Athletic Club, of which he is a member, is planning, an elaborate reception in honor of his achievements, the time to be settled when his arrival, is definitely known. Some interesting facts have been brought to light since the news of his victories in the Panama-Pacific games reached here. A former teacher in P.S. 89, where Roy was a student, has written to the Globe, paying a tribute to the 19-year old runner, and incidentally bringing out the fact that an athlete in the elementary school Morse won no less than forty medals, was a member of two championship relay teams, and was also the two-time winner of the sixty-yard dash at the championships. Mr. Carr's letter is as follows: Your article about Roy Morse the other day made me think that perhaps a word from his former teacher might prove interesting to your readers. He is a product of the Public Schools Athletic League, and was his big a "star" among the elementary school boys he is now among the older athletes. While teaching in P. S. 89 during 1908-1910 I spent most of my spare time imparting what little knowledge of athletics I had to those lads who wished to compete in the sport. I was one of those practised day after day was Roy, who, when I knew him, weighed less than eighty pounds. During his two years of competition as a school boy he won about forty medals and was a member of the championship relay teams and was a time winner of the sixty-yard dash at the championships. He never received the benefit of high school competition, for he had to go to work after leaving elementary school. However, as he grew older he always did some running whenever he had a chance. While a school boy he competed in many of the big meets, for P. S. A. I. relay races were in vogue then, and fostered the idea of becoming a runner. Saturday's performance shows how well he succeeded. In my experience as a teacher I have taught over two thousand boys, but I have never found a more manly and likable boy than Roy Morse. He is a boy who will never get a "swelled head." Any "boost" you may give him will be deserved. JAMES F. CARR.
