Y., SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1920 Various effort have been made in the past for recognition of the colored ministry in the church's autonomy but to no avail save in the case of a few general officers. Dr. Bowen of Atlanta was voted for on one occasion but failed of election. The present general conference, however, has made Negro bishops a certainty by adopting recommendations made by the committee on episcopacy in its first MARYLAND LODGES ARE WITH MORRIS FRICTION MARYLAND LODGES ARE WITH MORRIS FRACTION (Special to Twn New York Am) BALTMORE, Md.—Lodges of the Odd Fellows throughout Maryland are holding their allegiance with the Morris faction, pending the final outcome of the litigation which resulted in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia declaring the faction headed by John S. Noel as the proper one. The lodges here have trained with the administration forces for years. In 1910, when B. M. C. met here and Edward H. Morris and Ben Davis were together they were with the administration, and remained with the Morris forces when Ben Davis split. The late James C. Johnson of this city was grand prompter in 1915, and then grand master until his death. James L. Nicholas of this city became a grand director when Dr. L. I. Roberts of Boston took Mr. Johnson's place as deputy grand master. An indication of the fact that Maryland lodges still side with the Morris faction occurred at the big anniversary exercises at the Richmond Market Army last Sunday afternoon, when Grand Director Nicholas told W. T. Andrews, a grand director on the Noel side, that he could not sit on the rostrum with other celebrities of the Order. DEAL REPORTED FOR ST. MARKS CHURCH It is reported that an abutting owner is negotiating for the purchase of the St. Mark's M. E. Church and parish house property at 229 to 237 West Fifth third Street, just east of the L. station at Eighth Avenue. The church and the three-story parish house occupy a combined site hving frontage of 112.6 feet and a depth of 110 feet. It is understood that the church is desirous of moving to Harlem, where most of its former parishioners now reside. An effort to purchase the Calvary Church property at 159th street and Seventh avenue, has not materialized as the officers of that church have definitely refused to consider selling.

Atlantic City made its report through Mrs. Hannah P. Lowe. An excellent report came from Camden through J. Howard Jackson, principal of the Summer School. Morgan W. F. Dickerson made an interesting report for the Ashbury Park district. Trenton made its report through Mrs. H. V. Dillingham. W. R.

The "Birmingham Plan" was named because of the fact that a committee composed of representatives of the three denominations at interest held a conference at Birmingham, Ala., on April 1, 1918, at which time twelve articles of agreement were prepared to be submitted to the three general conferences for consideration as a basis for the proposed Organic Union. This proposed basis was agreed to by the C. M. E. Church in its general conference the following month. Plan Prematurely Born. Bishop Phillips, however, in his St. Louis speech, pronounced himself as being absolutely opposed to any union upon the basis of the agreement, which he characterized as of nature birth conceived in a day and named before it was born. He declared that the plan carried with it the probability of throwing away the traditions of his church. It was incompetent because it furnished no constitution; it contained nothing adjective or cohesive; the church united would have too many delegates, the conferences now average about thirteen hundred; that the A. M. E. Church, by reason of its superior numerical strength, would have the advantage; and that in fifteen years, without an age limit, the C. M. E. Church would have no bishops. HELL FIGHTERS" IN Rhine and Return, Saturday ORATORICAL PRIZE IS WON BY YOUNG CORBIE With "Justice to the Negro" as his subject, F. Eugene Corbie, a young colored student of DeWitt Clinton High School, won the first prize in the inti- scholastic oratorical contest held at Swarthmore College on May 1. He was awarded individually the Phi-Kappa Tau tip and a similar cup will be presented later in Washington High Clinton school. Contestants taking part are from Reading, Brown, Lawrenceville, Swarthmore Preparatory, Erasmus Hall and Perkheimer High Schools. The Judges were Esther E. Baldwin, the Rev. John E. Tuttle and Dr. John A Muller, and they characterized young Corbie's oration at a stirring appeal for fair treatment of his people." In the Dougless Fairbanks oratorical contest at DeWitt Clinton High School in 1919, Corbie won first prize and took third prize recently in the Metz Medal Debate. In winning the Swarthmore contest he gains the highest oratorical honor open to him as a high school pupil. In a short address to his fellow students at Clinton on Monday he made another sincere and heartfelt plea to remember the black man and give him a chance, and thanked them that they had chosen him as their representative with the words: "The honor was yours, the daly mine."

President Durkee states that the emplacement of the statue at the point proposed will prove a most wholesome stimuli in the patriotic morale of the Negroes of this country. It may be that if no other disposition of the statue is possible, perhaps more suitable in its origin and its historical relationship, the site suggested by Howard University may with entire property be determined that but in the case of early action by Congress. That body was responsible, through a paragraph added to a deficiency bill, for the removal of the statue without care for its re-establishment." for the suggestion Aged Baltimore Pastor Dead.

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1930 The Rose Tint Nature has laid out all her art in beautifying the face. She has touched it with tint of rose petals, planted in it a double row of ivory, made it the seat of amethyst and blushes, lighted it up and enlivened it with the brightness of the eyes, given it skin and graces that can hardly be described and surrounded it with such a flowing shade of hair as sets all its beauties in the most agreeable light. The power of beauty is inestimable, and happy is the woman who has that rose-tint of youthfulness in her cheeks and an unblemished complexion. But those whose skin is dark and sallow, disfigured by pimples, spots or other imperfections, can acquire that perfect complexion so much desired by the use of the BLACK AND WHITE BEAUTY TREATMENT This Beauty Treatment has been used by thousands with gratifying results. When the directions given are followed, it is guaranteed not to harm the most delicate skin. No other skin treatment has attained such widespread popularity in so short a time. The Black and White Beauty Treatment consists of two types of preparations: a quantity Ointment and a pure composition Soap. It is just as delightful as one in the many fine creams and lotions so often employed. It will produce the desired results more quickly. Before applying the cream, the skin with warm water and Black and White Soap. Then apply the Ointment according to the directions given. The next morning the Cream is to be removed from the face, hands, neck or arms and the skin again cleansed with warm water and Black and White Soap. After several applications the result is the tint and freshness of whitish in the complexion. Black and White Ointment and Soap (the Black and White Beauty Treatment) has grouped such universal combination in the world of cosmetics as well as other skin problems, that a package should be kept handy on every drawing public. Black and White Soap alone is unspecial or a light cream, free from these ingredients so generally used in cosmetics performed and equally likely to be found remaining by the handspread skin. Both Black and White Ointment and Soap are safe and guaranteed by any good drought at 25°F for each package, or you will be supplied direct, on receipt of price. You can get a copy of the Black and White Beauty Soap, sample of the cream and moisture, if you will write to Dept. 1/1 BLACK AND WHITE SOAP PLOUGH CHEMICAL CO. MEMPHIS, TENN., U.S.A. MISS WARLICK HEADS MERCY'S NURSE SCHOOL (Special to The New York Aca) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Miss. Lula G. Warlick, R. N., a graduate of Lincoln Hospital, New York, and until recently superintendent of nurses at the Old General Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. has entered upon the duties of a similar position at the new Mercy Hospital in this city. About a year ago it was announced that this institution was to greatly expand its work by moving into buildings at 50th street and Woodland avenue. Several well wishers and workers for the improvement of conditions among Negroes in Philadelphia felt that to provide improved opportunities for educating young colored women in professional nursing would be a philanthropic work worthy of their assistance. They therefore made the offer to Mercy Hospital that when it had moved into its new quarters they would contribute a sufficient fund to support the most efficient head nurse obtainable, be she colored or white, with preference given to a colored woman. The Board of Directors of Mercy Hospital were unanimously committed to the belief that a colored woman could bring more to a colored training school and give more to its pupils. They accepted this generous offer, feeling that they could obtain a colored woman whose ability and experience would be equal to those of any available white woman. After several months' search, Miss Warlick was selected to fill this position. She arrived here a few days ago from Kansas City. Has Done Splendid Work. Mercy Hospital is particularly fortunate in securing the services of Miss Warlick. She came to Lincoln Hospital after completing an academic course at Scotia Seminary, Concord, N. C. She spent three years as an undergraduate in Lincoln, graduating in 1990 with a general average in practical and theoretical work of 89% per cent. She passed the New York State Board examination with an average of 90 per cent. After graduation she was employed in Lincoln Hospital as charge nurse of the gastroco logical department, where for two years she is said to have rendered the most satisfactory service under Dr. Frank Ontferl and Dr. Percy Williams, both celebrated surgeons of New York. She resigned to accept the position of assistant superintendent of Provident Hospital in Chicago. She remained at Provident from 1911 to 1917, ten months of which time she was acting superintendent. In this latter year she went to Kansas City to take up the work of superintendent of nurses at the Old General Hospital, completing three years of service there this spring. At no time has there been such a demand for colored graduate nurses in numerous fields of activity as there is now. The board of directors of Mercy Hospital will use every effort to perfect its training school. Miss Elizabeth A. Newman, R. N., Mercy, 1912, who has during the past six months shown rare executive ability as acting superintendent of nurses, will remain as associate superintendent. They will be assisted by Mrs. Gertrude N. Pannell, R. N., Mercy, 1909, night supervisor; Miss Susie T. Townley, R. N., Mercy, 1912, and Miss Josephine L. Oliver, Mercy, 1918, day supervisors. FLORIDA SCHOOL AND ITS RECENT GROWTH (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Jacksonville, Fla.—That the Negroes of Florida, are interested in their own education can be seen from the results of the recent semi annual meeting of the board of trustees of Edward Waters College here. The presiding elders of the African Methodist Episcopal Church together with the other trustees reported more than $14,000 for christian education. The success of the board is largely due to the leadership of Bishop John Hurst, who during eight years has paid off the entire indebredness of the college, erected an administration building costing more than $50,000, and increased the value of the college property to nearly $200,000. Bishop Hurst has also built up the church very materially, and every conference in the state has asked for his return to the eleventh district. Dr. John A. Gregg, the president of the college has also done excellent work, and he is a popular candidate for the bishopric of the church to be elected at the general conference now in session at St. Louis, Mo. NEGRO U.-P. STUDENTS FORM "FRAT" SOCIETY (Special to THE NEW YORK ACA) Philadelphia Pa.—As direct result of alleged color discrimination among the "frats" or college societies at the University of Pennsylvania there has been organized by the colored medical and dental students, of that institution the Daniel H. Williams Surgical and Oral Society, with M. Russell Nelson as president. Mr. Nelson is a member of the senior class and after his graduation in June, 1920 goes to Bellevue Hospital New York City as interne. It was his personal experiences with various of the "frats" which led to the colored students getting together in a society of their own, said to be the only one of its kind among the "Big Five" Colleges. Standing high in his classes, a fine athlete, popular among the student body and of good character, Nelson was proposed by some of his white classmates to membership in three of these societies but he was rejected by one vote in each case. In a fourth society his name, on presentation for membership, received the unanimous vote of its members. But on the following day he was informed that a clause in the constitution prevented the acceptance of a colored student as a member. Nelson called on Dr. LaPlace, for whom this fourth body was named, and entered a protest against the injustice of this constitutional bar. Dr. LaPlace stated that he knew of no such discriminatory ban and promised an immediate investigation, declaring that if any such clause existed it would be immediately stricken from the constitution. The organization of the colored students into their own society followed and they voted to honor the eminent Chicago surgeon, Dr. Daniel H. Williams, by naming it for him. Other officers besides the president, are Roy Berry, vice president, and A. Thomas secretary treasurer. New Members on Howard Board. (Special to Tear New York, Aa.) Washington, D. C. - Dr. Albert Bush well Hart, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., and Dr. Charles R Brown, Yale University, New Haven, Conn., have been elected to membership upon the board of trustees of Howard University.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt of Oyster Bay, N. Y., was recently added to the board. Boston, Mass.—An event of significance recently happening in Boston was the opening of the new home of the League of Women, for Community Service at 558 Massachusetts avenue. Governor Coolidge and Mrs. Coolidge headed the receiving line. Miss Maria L. Baldwin, principal of the Agassiz School, is president of the League and she received with the governor and his wife. The League is allied with the Massachusetts State Federation of Women's Clubs, the Associated Charities and the Food Economy Kitchen of the National Civic Federation. Its initial activity was the serving of school lunches and selline of soup at cost. The colored women comprising the organization's membership were originally associated together in the Soldier's Comfort Unit, sewing and knitting for service men. After two years this small club has expanded into a large and growing League. Its officers are Miss Baldwin, president; Mrs. C. N. Garland and Mrs. Edw. Rollins, vice-presidents; Mrs. C. Henry Robbins treasurer; Mrs. G. W. Forbes, recording secretary; Mrs. E. M. Merchaw, corresponding secretary; Mrs. U. A. Ridley, executive secretary. The women of the organization raised funds for the purchase of this new home largely through their own efforts, assisted by their men relatives and friends. Attorney Wm. H. Lewis, Wm. L. Reed and Dr. C. Garland headed a club of men and Mr. Lewis gave the service of his law firm in the matter of incorporating the league and many husbands of members gave $100 checks. District Attorney Pellettier spoke dur- ing the exercises of opening the new home and complimented the women having succeeded so largely through their own efforts and without 'picking the pockets of the public.' The house is palatial, a fine old mansion facing a park. It has wonderful doors and staircases of carved mahogany, rooms of great height and breadth and pillard and mirrored walls as are so dom seen.

A COLLEGE that has to students devote one half their time to actual useful work is so in line with common sense that we are amazed that the idea had to be put in execution by an ex-sive as a life-saver for his distraught right. Our great discoveries are always宏盛; we work for one thing and get another. I expect that the students will be and are long, when the great valuation of the world will have to put the Fuglego Idea into execution in order to save themselves from being distracted by the Colored Race. If so perhaps Teukens Institute offers the very opportunity which he wants. The institute is in no way a school. It is an Institute of Education. It helps the worthy student to help himself.

When the Supreme Court of the United State, a few week ago, rendered a decision upholding the power of a State to enact and enforce a "Jim Crow" law that applied to street railway traffic between that State and another State, few people recognized the fact that the Court was aiding to stifle the industries of the Nation. But inevitably business and big business at that, is going to be hurt by that decision. The manner in which this decision hurts business and in the end will work general hardship upon the whole people, regardless of color or condition, is pointed out in pithy fashion by an acute observer of current events in a lengthy communication recited by Turo Naf. According to this writer's definition, the Supreme Court hurts business by perpetrating the discrimination and injustices that are slowly but surely driving the Negro population from the South. "The Nexto as a general thing is not anxious to leave the North, where he has made his home and buried his dead, and with which are linked the memories of his childhood. But he isotted to leave the onerous conditions that oppress him in that territory to seek improved conditions in the North. When he does this in numbers, as has been demonstrared in the past few years, the South experiences a shortage of man power. This shortage of man power curtails the production of sugar cane, rice, corn, cotton, lumber, etc. This curtailment or production and the output of raw materials appears lowers the volume of luscious crops. Southern planters, merchants and other businesses men then become "land poor." The land, instead of producing cotton and sugar cane, grows up in rivers and lakes. The town is a publicity does not tie with the North, however, which is primarily represented with brining it about. The town is pay the press and the town is pay the nation. South Kivu, the town is wells, and Tugwara, the town is flat and cult and cult and cult have been kept proper and by the product of the block man power of the South. So when the Supreme Court unpacked the "first crop" on the basis of the South and time situation threw to the Bourbon, it also immediately threw stones to tell the place of bread for the mill workers and tory workers of Fall River and Troy. It is the task seen as our current spondent correctly, that the "Jim Crow" car and shirt with the practical uphear the Negro in the South are not entirely a local question. Like the virus of a cancer the person of the malignant color prejudice engendered in the South works through the whole body politics. It affects all the industries of the nation dependent upon the production of sugar and cotton. Autumn, the industries of the North primarily affected by the ill-treatment of the Negro in the South there may be cited the following: Automobile tire manufacturers must have Egyptian or long staple cotton in making their tires, clothes, cuffs, sheets, undrewear, etc., are made from raw cotton. ```markdown ``` If the Negro continues to leave the cotton held for the North and West, the demand for cotton will soon grow to exceed the supply. As a result up will go the price of all cotton goods. Again, the question of the injustice done the Negro in the South is shown to react upon the Nation. In helping to perpetuate Bourbonism in the South, the Supreme Court is helping to strangle the industries of the nation. It is depriving the workers of the North of their present opportunities for employment and depriving them of a livelihood. It is also helping to put up the price of such necessities as sugar and cotton beyond the reach of the average consumer. These are the logical results of the action of the Supreme Court in upholding "Jim Crow" car laws. PRE-CONVENTION TACTICS. PRE-CONVENTION TACTICS. The unprecedented efforts put forth by the rival political managers in their effort to secure popular support for the presidential possibilities, they are pishing, are vividly illustrated by some queer things published in the colored papers of Ohio. Some of these publications have reproduced a bank check with its endorsement, in connection with the charge that a prominent newspaper man dickered a debt to get his expenses paid to the Linne League in Chicago in the interest of certain candidate, and then slipped Another paper prints a quarter page advertisement bearing the portrait of one of the presidential aspirants, with the inscription "A MAN' FOUR SQUARE." This matter is, however, plainly labeled "Political Advertisement," so the readers can take it for what it is worth. Community buying is advocated by the Birmingham (Qla) Reporter as the surest means with which to reduce the precafing high cost of living. It says: "Our race stands in immediate and vital need of education in this direc-tional offer-situation of the recent war has been reliable improvement in our economic ability to meet other element in the nation." We But these incidents go to confirm the position taken by THE Ace some weeks ago, that so far there had been no good ground offered upon which the voters of the race should be enjoined to tie themselves up to any certain candidate. THE Ace has indicated the sort of candidate that in its opinion it would be advantageous to the party and to the race to have put in nomination. He must be a man who exemplifies the best type of true Americanism and the maintenance of law and order. He should be the exponent of a square deal for all Americans, regardless of creed or race. Let those who assemble at Chicago next June unite in the choice of a man who best fulfills these requirements, and the result will be a ratification of their action at the polls in November. PRESERVE THIS INSTITUTION PRESERVE THIS INSTITUTION One of the best known and long established institutions of Brooklyn is the Home for Aged Colored People. Located in a commodious building of its own in a convenient locality, for several decades it has afforded shelter and comfort for aged persons of the race, whose later years found them with no permanent abiding place. The establishment of this deserving institution was largely due to the efforts of a number of white friends, with the cooperation of a smaller number of devoted women of the race, who united their efforts for the support of the work. With the passing of the years, many of the former supporters have passed away and the responsibility for its continuance has become a matter of concern to those interested. This responsibility should be met and should be by the colored people of Brooklyn, for whose benefit the institution was planned and conducted. Several women's organizations devoted to charitable work have planned to relieve the presiding necessities of the Home by cooperating in an entertainment for its benefit. This is well and good, but their efforts should not stop at this. A systematic and organized campaign should be started to provide for the regular and continued support of the home by the colored people of Brooklyn. Yearly subscriptions by individuals, regular contributions by church leaders, and other organizations should be secured, until a sufficient income is assured to meet the annual expenses of the home and relieve its inmates from the fear of losing their only refuge. Let all the people unite their efforts to preserve this devious institution. PARENTS' DUTIES TO SCHOOLS The truly conscientious parent must only see to the personal cleanliness of the child before leaving for school, but sometimes finger lash and shoes are peculiarly those of the boys. At a certain age, the average boy fails to realize the necessity for polishing his shoes. The careful parent sees that he does it, until the regular performance becomes a habit. The parent who is on the job not only recognizes the monthly report card of his child before signing it, but endeavors to keep on touch with the teacher and to cooperate in all efforts to advance the pupil along the path of progress in his studies and also in his sports. The parents of colored children, especially in the public schools of New York City, should be careful to eliminate the color question as far as possible, in the discussion of school troubles. The public schools have become so cosmopolitan, with the numerous racial types dumped into the melting pot, that the Negro has become but one of the 47 varieties. Then the school administration is based on so broad a plane of equal rights, that any racial discrimination arising is out the pot of an individual teacher. Where a teacher is at fault, redress can be had through the proper authorities. But as a rule the teacher needs and welcomes the cooperation of the parent, who can insist on proper time given to the preparation of lessons, punctuality, neatness of person and dress and proper conduct. The parents' duties should not be left to the teacher. --- SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS. For late years a demand has been voiced for the special training of Sunday school teachers. Those closely identified with the work of the Sunday schools felt that the preparation of the youth to enter, the church required the attention of instructors trained in the teness of religion and qualified to impart them in a way that would edify and instruct at the same time. The origin of the Sunday School is attributed by some authorities to a colored woman named Amanda Smith, who is the early part of the last century gathered a group of children around her and instructed them in a familiar way in the wonders of Biblical bury. From such an humble beginning the institution has progressed, usually with the aid of volunteer workers, until it extends to kindergarten method for the little ones to such advanced groups as THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1920 the famous, Bible Class once taught by John D. Rocksfeller, Jr. With the universal demand for efficiency in every department of human progress, it is now felt in certain leaders that the old system of appointing Sunday School teachers' largely on "a profession of faith" and a desire to impart that faith, has become antiquated. Something more is required to train the embryo Christian in the way that he should go. I saw in the papers of May 2 that one so-called governor of South Carolina, Cooper, in an address at the annual dinner of the Palmetto State Society, stated that he does not approve of sovereignty over the states by the federal government and that he would try to have the 14th and 15th Amendments, all the others that enclose upon rights of the states, repealed. Some time ago Senator Ben Tillman from that state tried to stir up friction between the races in the South. For best in therift the Lord has rested him from his labors, and regenerated him to a forgotten Negro will continue to put his trust in God and do the right. He will bring the race out victorious and conquer Trained kindergarten teachers, are sought for to initiate the beginners in the story of the Christ Child and the necessity of a technical training for all who undertake instruction in Sunday School is strongly urged. Training schools for this purpose have been started and many Sunday School teachers have taken advantage of them. It may be conceded that, up-to-date Sunday Schools must possess trained teachers, but the institution owes a large debt to the devoted volunteer workers of the past. GODMOTHER SCHOOLS "Godmother schools" is the equivalent of the name given in France to those institutions which escaped the ravage of the war and have undertaken the responsibility of reorganizing and supporting some less fortunate school in the devastated region. An appeal in behalf of this work of restoring educational facilities for the children of France has come through one of the teachers to the members of the "Ouest Sa" Y Club recently organized in this city. This organization, feeling that this appeal will meet with a hearts and sympathetic response from colored teachers and students, have sent it forth to the schools in this country. It is hoped that choir, under direction of E. W. Jackson, all of the institutions receiving this appeal will speedily enroll as a "good mother school" for the St. Quentin department. Harry's Weekly conclude an analysis of the probabilities of William Randolph Hearst as "The Latest Candidate of a Third Party," for the Presidency, with the summary verdict that "Judges and editors don't run well" Two true! The Health Bulletin, published quarterly at Gothene is the journal of the State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association of Oklahoma. It announces the coming State meeting at Tulsa May 12, 13 and 14 at which the motion picture clips will be a new feature. The programs for the meetings show a wide diversity of cultural topics and indicate that Oklahoma practitioners are up and doing. Discussion Discussing the recent decision of the U. S. Supreme Court, upholding the "Jim Crow" street car, a learned minister referred to that August tribunal as a "bunch of troglodytes." Winy asked to explain, he added: "They belong to the *peltactinus erecti* species, living in a paleolithic atmosphere and environment. They have not passed through the neolithic or paleolithic stage of evolution and yet we call them Christians and highly developed." This may not be contempt of court, but it does not sound complementary. A Texas police sentenced three city confessed killers to two years in manslaughter and then set them free on a suspended sentence. Why they were ever indicted and brought to the county court is a mystery. Three white men were charged with lynching Chishon Lemmings, a Negro at Gilmer, in July 1919. After a change of venue that came the face of their pleading guilty to manslaughter and being sent to prison to repeat them crime. The Houston (Texas) Observer prints an article titled "Parks Everywhere and Not Place to Tear." The article closes a striking appeal for parks for the colored people as follows: Our group by virtue of the unanimity having conditions in their jurisdiction would make bringing them about a crime. Then the death rate and stakes from preventable diseases would not be alarming perhaps. Give us some of the things that are calculated to make other groups happy well and we shall then be more comfortable, good health and practises make all groups desirable to join into the San Jacinto Battle Ground and listen to the birds that come to the Mexican and other groups. Consistency then art a jewel. Give us pares. NOW. The City Fathers of Houston would do well to heed this appeal. An interesting bit of local history was brought to light during the recent celebration of Fifth Avenue Week of this city, showing that a large section of the now famous thoroughfare was once owned by a colored man. In 1800, the historian relates, the governor of the colony. Sir Edmund Andros granted to Solomon Peter, a free Negro, thirty-acre lying between Twenty-first and Twenty-seventh streets and Broadway and Newburgh streets, and seven sold by his descendants in 1716 to John Heller Cornelius Webber, and the Horton farm house, stood in the centre of what was with avenue, just below Twenty-first street, until 1715, when the street was cut through. Much other valuable real estate, in various sections of the city, was generations ago in the hands of colored owners. The present generation, however, is acquiring real estate in Harlem and outlying sections. All New York real estate is a good investment, according to the experts in land values, if the buyer can hold on to it long enough. veritably, "make hay while the sun shines." Raving in the matter of expenditures is not alone necessary but it is imperative in whatever connection it relates to the cost of living among us. Computer-buying, directed by accurate knowledge of current methods of successful business, must be practiced by our people, and downing of the cost of living and the consequent saying of great sums of money to the one who adopts the plan. Miss Marguerite Daniels, St. Mary's avenue, gave a birthday surprise party at her home, Wednesday evening. Miss 5. to her mother. Quite a few friends were present and had a pleasant time. Miss John Chams, East 13rd street, and her Torrens, opened a little stationery and clear on Watching avenue, where her late husband formerly kept his shop.

Mrs. Warren Poyas, Richmond street, left here Saturday, May 5, for a three-week visit with relatives and friends up in the Adirondacks. Felix Littlejohn, of New York, won a week end visit of Mr. and Mrs. Ford's family in Berkman street. Bodge, 35 West 36 street, a student of biology, preached his trial prison Tuesday evening, May 11, at the Brielle Baptist Church, in Newark, N.J. Mrs. Wm. Prest's place, Mrs. Madeline De Chebert in Plainfield avenue, is still codified to her bed. A very much Such organizations as the local Negro Business Leagues might do much in putting into effective practice a system of cooperative buying, with advantage to its membership and the race in general. Let the local league essay this practical work. The Birmingham Reporter asks the question, "Can a good bishop be made out of a bad minister?" And then answers it with a dubious, "Well, maybe." Evidently si hopes are not very strong of a successful issue to the experiment. Neither are anyone else's. To make a good bishop requires the strongest combination of clerical capacity and human excellence attainable. No spoiled material should enter into the combination. --- The Nashville (Team) Eye, which prints a portrait of "Madam" Beste P.

It is among other things There are all alternatives given in the named "Hoke Smith Disclosure Form," and you can qualify under either of them, and you don't have to meet all of them in order to register. If you pay quality under bipe, you can qualify under another bipe, you can qualify under another character change, or the Good Character Change. If you are twenty-one years old or over and you have the tax required of you older, you can register twenty-one years old, you can register provided you have not been convicted of any court in the State. If you can read indefinitely in that of you can read indefinitely in that of your state, you can qualify. If you are those who can qualify, if you are those who can qualify, and there are those who can qualify under the Property Class, you require forty acres of land or land. The cost of colored cottages also is in qualification under the Home Class, which is thousand of acres of colored cottages of polite paid land. Your cottage comes in to the State. It shows that there are thousands of colored cottages, you can qualify under the Property Class. For many of them own thousands of acres and thousands of dollars, cottages are worth a half million dollars. The Independent clinches its argument by telling its readers that they want to be qualified to elect a President who its against banning, mob violence and who favors a law giving the Federal courts Federal jurisdiction over them. A telling argument. As very few of your readers know anything of the prominent Nassau who occupied high political positions (exactly political) during the Reconstruction State of the following pertaining to Judge Wright of North Carolina may be of interest. Jonathan J. Wright was born in Pennsylvania, Graduated from the Lancaster High School and then studied law at Montrose. He was admitted to the Bar in Nassau county, being the first Negro to practice law in Pennsylvania, and practiced home years before going to South Carolina. He was offered a delegate to the convention of the Union Republican Party of South Carolina which met in Charleston May 9, 1822. Without transcribing any business the convention adjourned to meet in Columbia July 14, 1822, the first political convention ever held in the South in which Negroes were represented. On the 19th delegates 32 were Negroes. Richard H. Gleaves afterward, Immigrant Governor for four years, was the preceding officer. Judge Wright was a member of the Constitutional Convention which met in Carleton January 14, 1858, and owing to his legal ability took an active part in all of the deliberations. He was a member of the first legislature under the new constitution, having the honor of being the first senator from Kentucky. In joint session of the Senate and House of Representative, February 1, 1870, he was elected an Associate Justice Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Judge Wright the resigned of the entire Bar of the State. He served until 1877 when the Democratic party came into power. He was the first Negro to hold a judicial position in the United States. Very little is known of Judge Wright outside of the State because he gave up active participation in politics after he was elected to the Bench. As Judge Wright practiced law in Pennsylvania four years before going to South Carolina, he must have been admitted to the Bar in 1894. While there may be some question as to the first Nerro licensed to practice law in the first municipal judge, there also is a judicial position as to the length of service in a judicial position. That honor goes to the genial, popular and learned judge Terrell of Washington. H. A. WALLACE (signed).

The land company offered one lot to the church whose membership purchased the greater number of lots. Only one church is said to have been represented by the parent because of the prominence of local leaders in the affair. Rev. Alexander is said to have four lots to his credit, with a view to building a church on the site at home future time. R. F.

POMADE TINE AND DRESSING ONE In The Realm of Music By Lucien H. White FOR THE AMBITIOUS STUDENT OF SINGING will find time to carry out the main injunctions of the author. The pupil whose economic condition is more faworable will surely not tail to realize that even so stern a program as is outlined above will be necessary if there is to be the fullest development of tal The young student of singing, with exhibition and talent, coupled with a sincere desire for full development as an artist, should secure a copy of Herbert Wilber Green's little book, "The Singer's Ladder," (published by Carl Teacher). It is full of wise and sound advice for the embryo singer, and while the lazy and shortsighted will find its injunctions a bit more stringent than they care for; the earnest and sincere student will surely be benefited. The author makes it plain that he is not writing for the dictionary, for the student lacking talent and courage. In the "Forward," he says: "This book is intended to discourage students from entering music on the study of singing, if they have not sufficient talent to accomplish the effort. Its purpose is to discourage students of singing who have talents, but not work persistently and weightily; and to encourage students of singing who have a reasonable amount of talent and an encouraging enthusiasm for work." Katherine Wright, in the New York Tribune, reviewed "The Singer's Ladder," including in her comment an extract from the book giving Mr. Greene's definition, of "The Ideal Vocal Student." She wrote as follows: "A great many young people will find Mr. Greene's views unanimistic. They will include the army of medicitaries yearly encouraged to practice in public by foolish friends and greedy managers, the army compounded of young men who imagine that a New York appearance institutes success, and of young whose efforts would gain a few inches in dignity if the words "captive flowers appeared on the announcement of their recitals." "Mr. Greene has returned to the ingenious device of a symbolic ladder to present a sequence of demands which must be met by the student. The two uprights are "physique with strength" and "mentality with temperament." The ground on which the ladder rests is voice. The rounds are musicianship, respiration, method, agility, legato, messa di voice, portamento, graces, motion, tradition, art. At the summit are the laurels of success, which may be measured by money, public acclaim or excellence by comparison with those who are heralded as successful, although Mr. Greene further states that success is not an outward manifestation but an inward realization. The rounds of the ladder are discussed with successive chapters, with a more profitable suggestions for the more serious laborers in the vineyard. Here, for their emulation, is Mr. Greene's definition of "the ideal social student." The Ideal Vocal Student. "Miss B. has a good voice and a safe teacher. She realizes that her voice is of money earning excellence and that with careful development for a year or two it can be made to carry the expense of its further training. She has been shown that every action of her daily living has a more or less direct influence on her voice; therefore her life is governed by a careful adjusted schedule. First, her health and playgroup are considered. To lessen the tendency to cold she steps from her bed into a cold plunge and rubs herself into a glow. A glass or cold water tops her stomach and she is for a light breakfast of fruit, tea, toast and very week coffee. She persists in this regime, varying only in the kind of fruit and cereal. She is in good condition for practice early in the day and no undue draft is made upon her vitality by the process of digestion. Rain or shine she walks in the open air full two half-hours and does a mile and half each time. If she is fairly walking, but to her it does not. The hearty meal of the day is at 12 or 1 o'clock on the night at night. If she is to be an artist this will be a necessity and it is better to adapt the system to it from the beginning. Her evening meal is light, with no meat nor hot bread. This system of diet which she has adopted is not severe. There are no restrictions as to the meal rural. She knows that the singer gets more nutrition and greater vitality from a little food than from unruly. It is most important that the hours for meals are regular and living by schedule, she controls this. "The career of a singer, to be ideal comprehensible proportionate development. She must know the languages, she must play well upon the piano, she must arrive through practice to a perfect control of the vocal instrument. She must show the literature of the music, she must be required to repertory, and begin to get into her voice and memory. Miss B. understand these requirements and she adjusted her study schedule to meet them. There are four thirty-minute periods of vocal practice, three of them on technique; two hours of study on the languages; inter-persual in a way that best conserves the vitality of the voice; an hour each devoted to the piano and the study of musical theory or literature. By this schedule six hours a day are regularly passed in study. We have not appointed for her the half-hour part which are done with a view to increasing respiratory control or the half-hour or more of singing in the evening, if opportunity for concerts or opera not present themselves. Thus she studies every day. Her lessons are included in her regime. She learns upon its maintenance so rigorously that only most important courses are allowed to interfere with it. She has her piano in her room, to be secure against interruptions from the family or calls. Her friends call only by appointment. Of the most talented and amusing colored vocal students would probably find study, since the factor of self-approach must be calculated. On most work daily for a living, this is the impaling ambition behind desire for social development they will find time to carry out the main injunctions of the author. The pupil whose economic condition is more favorable will surely not tail to realize that even so stern a program as is outlined above will be necessary if there is to be the fullest development of talent. Too many of the men and women of the race who announce themselves as "great artists" are really lacking even a fundamental training in art. Singer who cannot read their notes are too frequently met with. And those who have a knowledge of the method of singing are correspondingly rare. The meaning of legato, staccato, portamento, as applied to the singers' art, is hidden in mystery, and if they know the meaning of the words respiration and emulation, they certainly do not know how to exemplify the meaning in their singing. I hope a great many of them will read this little volume, "The singer's Ladder." Women over in Philadelphia have started a commendable movement. They have organized for the purpose of sch- have organized for the purpose of raising a scholarship fund for Marion Anderson, the young contrato of that city. Miss Anderson is a native Philadelphiaian and it is said of her that she has made good use of the limited opportunities she has had here and have never heard her sing, but musical friends declare that she is possessed of a great native talent and that she is ambitious and hardworking. Modest in her manner, "almost to the point of self-depreciation," yet a diligent student and anxious to develop. A benefit to be given on May 14 at the Union Baptist Church in Philadelphia will be featured by the song cycle, "In a Persian Garden," with Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert of California, soprano; Harry Delmore of Boston, tenor; Arthur Brown baritone and Miss Anderson, contralto. I hope the Philadelphia folks will respond to such an extent that the scholarship fund will become an assured fact. Mme. Anita Patti Brown of Chicago was in New York recently and while here she made a Columbia photograph record of one of her greatest social successes, the "Nilamelle." She is now at St. Louis, Mo., attending the A. M. E. general conference, and demonstrations of the record have resulted in a large number of orders. It is a splendid reproduction and brings out the beauty of her voice to a remarkable degree. Howard University Choral Society, under the direction of Lulu Vere Childers, sang Coleridge Taylor's "Hiawatha" last month, the performance being given at the First Congregational Church, 10th and G. streets, northwest, Washington, D. C. Eighty-four students of the university comprise the chorus, and Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert of California sang the soprano solos. The Misses C. Batrice Lewis and Madeline V. Coleman played the accompaniments for the chorus on two pianos. Miss Lewis alone doing the solo accompaniments. The highest praise was given the rendition by Washington's music critics, those of the Times and Herald being especially commended. Two white singers, ten and a baritone, were engaged as the male solist, but why this was necessary is not explained in any of the reports I have seen. Surely it cannot mean that the authorities at Howard considered there were no Negro solists capable of doing the work. It would be interesting to hear the reasons for this peculiar action on part of one of the leading schools for Negro youth. Gerald Taler writes me from St. Louis that on his recent visit to New York the Schrumer Co., Inc., accepted three of his new songs for publication. They are "Ships, That Pass In The Night." Gung with splendid effect by Roland Haysen, "Syrian Lullaby" and "Good Night." Martin-Smith Music School The summer course designed for visiting teachers and students will be under the direction of Edwin Coates, and will include a through course in ear training, sight singing, harmony and musical analysis. Mr. Coates is a graduate of the Institute of Musical Art (regularly known as the Damroh School) and has spent a year's study with Dr. Percy Gorschers, noted theorist. Students may enroll after May 15. LAST PAIR OF EDUCATIONAL RECITALS Florence Cole-Talbert is a singer of rare ability and annual musicianship, a combinatorialobbh which 78900... a combustion which is not often found among singers. She has been heard more recently and has established herself as a favorite. Cole-Talbert is a graduate of Fisk University and will finish at the Institute of Musical Art next year. She is a general favorite in musical and social circles. Miss Lindsay bids fair to become one of the race's best pianists as she combinates that rare quality, temperament. She is a New Yorker by birth, and while just becoming known in the concert field has made a fine impression on all who have heard him. He has the musicianship, temperament and technic which a violinist must surely possess to be a violinist in something beside name.

Dr. Harmon is proving another big attraction during the week. Hundreds are interested in his fortune-telling stunts, and at every performance he is bombarded with questions from the curious. Estelle Harris is always well received in Harlem and uncorked several lively numbers. The LaFollette Trio has a strong dancing finish and gets a big hand at the close of their act. Marr & Evans do a satisfactory opening turn. For the first three days of next week the feature photo play at the LaFayette will be "The Price Woman Pays," and the fourth episode of the serial "The Lost City," "The Price Woman Pays" tells a dramatic story with a punch, in which the pathos of righteousness proves to be the best.

On account of the management not being able to get the license properly the theatre is compelled to close last week in consequence of which "This and That" is being continued another week. Monday evening, May 17, will be the first showing of "Baby Blues." The same comedians that have kept Brooklynites laughing in "This and That" will be seen in "Baby Blues."

The Bacharachs end was held up by Capt. Dick Redding, the cannon ball artist and Yank Deas while Jeff Teasreu selected Burke and Hebwelaite for the Bears' battery work. Neither team scored in the first two innings but the Bears learned that their opponents with Lundy in short and Cuban Rohowau in center field was much stinger than they were. The Bears clan hung a double defeat over them. In the third stance the Bacharachs got to pitcher Burke for a collection of hits which netted them five runs. This rally caused the Bear's to remove their hurler and substitute McGarry. Four runs were made from the latter's delivery in the very first inning in the box. This brought the Bacharachs score up to 9 and only three innings had been played. In their time up in the third inning, Teasreu's Bears accounted for their first score. They failed to tally again till the fifth inning when Dick Redding had retired from the box and sent in Treadwell to a breech rail which was broken up by some clever fielding by Dick Lundy, the Bacharach's new stopout. The score ended 14-4 and the Bacharach's had administered to the Bears the first defeat of the season. Tereau's Bears came back in the second game and waived the Bacharachas by an 8-4 score. The game was marred by some very questionable decisions by Umpire Tope which made Uncle John Connor determine to bring along an umpire of his own at the team's next meeting. Mr. Connor's umpire is Caesar Jamison of Atlantic City, a man who knows every angle of the game. Connor's team had done some wonderful work with the stick. Home runs were knocked by Yank; Ronhoaw, Lundy and Brown. To Play on Ebbettts Field. The Bacharach Giants are to play on the Brooklyn National League Park (the team obtainable) to meet them. Dick Lundy will again be seen in short. OTHER GAMES THE OTHER GAMES The Philadelphia Giants, with "Mule" Bradford pitching, defeated the Howards, 7 to 6. The Hackensack Bogotas beat Penn Red Cap, 10 to 1. The Lincoln Giants retaliated on the Downey Shipyard team by beating them 5 to 2 last Sunday. "Cyclone" Joe Williams was in the box. In the second game the Lincoln, won a swatting exhibition from Stamford by the score of 17 to 10. The Cuban Stars of Havana, Cuba, reached New York on Monday from San Juan, Porto Rico. They play the Farmers at Glendale on Saturday and on Sunday, at Dexter Park, Brooklyn, they play a double header against the Bushwicks. CYCLONE WILLIAMS VS. CANNONBALL DICK Years ago these two towers of pitching strength were on the same team—the famous Lincoln Giants. The Lincolnns then boosted such sterling performers as Lloyd at short, Polea in center, Wiley and Santop as back stops, and a number of other stars of like caliber. Boldly they branched themselves "Colored Champions of the World" and loyally did the East support them. Many a big league team, when on a barnstorming tour at the close of the season, was humbled upon facing these black warriors of the diamond. Oft has been the time when a visiting team has piled up what seemed a winning score on the veterans of old Olympic Field, only to have Lloyd or Polea, or both, get a base and have Santop, Williams or even Capt. Dick himself clear the bases with a homer in the eighth or ninth inning and thereby win the game. No semi-pro team in the East, colored or white, classed with the Lincolnns. Time has passed since then and as might be expected, many changes have taken place. Poles is still with the Lincolnns and so is Joe Williams, but Lloyd now leads the Royal Giants, a travelling team, which recently hung a double defeat on the once famous Lincolnns—all on the same day. Sanstop now runs the Hattalde and Rolden of that team that hung the tall circuit swatter is one of his mainstays. The biggest change of all has taken place with "Cannon Ball" Dick Redding. This star hurler now leads the Bacharack Giants, a team that has every right to claim the championship of the East. "Capt. Dick" acts as captain and manager of this star aggregation. It is undoubtedly one of the fastest, hardest hitting semi-pro teams in baseball this side of Chicago. It is said to be the high-tech and colored team in the city and is undoubtedly the best dressed, John Connor and Baron Wilkins, the owners, swear that no big league team will have anything that their boys won't get.

Something like one thousand dollars was spent to uniform these stars. Each player, aside from being presented with a big sweater which now retails at twenty-five dollars is provided also with a leather coat of good quality. The Bacharach Grant's old outfits have been given (not sold) to the West 135th street Y. M. C. A. to encourage that organization in working up a team. This, to our way of thinking, sets a wonderful precedent in local interest for all of the baseball teams that depend for their existence upon their Harlem following. The Bucharach Giants' owners have not expended all of this money without getting results. The real semipro ball season is just beginning yet their team is in mid season form. It is commonly granted that they have the fastest infield in the country and the hardest hitting outfield in the Basket. Uncle Cowboy is confident to tell that he had quite some trouble collecting such an array of talent but his worst hardship is to keep them. The Bacharachs is the only team in New York owned by Negroes. It is claimed that white interests behind the other teams spend much of their time in trying to steal players from the all-colored team by offering them a few dollars more than they are getting. It is claimed that these same white interests have held secret meetings of semi-pro owners and managers for no other purpose, than to freeze the colored owners out of the game. This, despite the fact that these white owners kept colored ball-players salaries down as low as possible till Connor and Baron became strong competitors. This, despite the white interests' utter disgust with the baseball field in our neighborhood slip away without making any effort to buy it. These white magnates seem to overlook entirely the fact that their teams very existence depends upon the Harlem public. The Harlem public does not want baseball battles in offices or secret meetings. The Harlem public does not want freeze out by monopolies. The Harlem public will not stand for steals. What Harlem does want is a series of games between all the semi-pro teams; a meeting of all the representative pitchers; and a legitimate claimant to the Coorsed Champions the East meeting the champions of the western circuit. This Harlem wants and will pay for—nothing else. PENNSYLVANIA GIANTS TO OPEN SUNDAY. George M.

While but talked of it, the fact is, generally understood that most of the men out have hopes of getting their names on the Heron Trophy which is the first prize to be played for by local racquet wielders. This cup was first played for two years ago and first leg was won on it by James Bain of the Ideal T. C., after he had battled five sets with Ted, our sporting editor. Last year Ramsey eliminated all the contestants in the tournament, including Norbert Baim, a brother to James, and thereby James, the latter of the challenge round. They were after playing some of the hardest tennis ever exhibited by local players on the 133rd street court, Ramsey, the challenger, conquered. Ramsey had therefore numbered two members of the same family among his victims in his climb for the cup. It is strange to note that this club has been won each of the two years it has been in play by representatives of the same club—Ideal Tennis Club. It is interesting to the many spectators who watch the raquet wielders conditioning themselves to see the close watch they keep on the progress of each other. The Ideal Club member soo that they are going to bring their cup to their trophy room for a third time regardless of whether one of their number does it. Representatives of the other three clubs that rent courts on Week 1838th street are just as determined to have one of their members to the coveted honor this season. In members the Ideal Club doubles any other club in the East. It can be truthfully said, too, that the Ideal has more ranking players than any two of the others. Yet the other clubs believe they have two or three men each who are better players than any on the Ideal Club membership roll. Decision day will be May 31st, Decoration Day, when all will battle for the Heron Cup. Mrs. Wade Going Strong. New ladies have been out this season, in preparation for the hard task before them of wrestling the huge Mine. Walker trophy from Miss Rae, who has twice succeeded in engraving her name on it. One more victory in the "National" will make this little lady from Jamaica the permanent possession of this trophy which will mean its departure from this country. A view of the lady members of local clubs are making determined efforts to perfect their game that another winner by Miss Rae will be impossible this season. Of the ladies who have thus far been out for practice, Mrs. Potter, Madeleine and the other practice games Mrs. Wade has played with unusual determination. If she can give the proper time to practice there is every reason to believe that there will be a big improvement in her game over that of last year in which event. Miss Rae is in fitter an unusually stubborn battle. Dame Rumor Wrong. Pierre Runner was again wrong in saying that the St. Mark's Tennis Club on the West Side street Church would not play on the Ideal grounds this season. This report was widely circulated, following a meeting of the local tennis Club at which they are expected to have voted to oust the St. Mark's Club this season. Considerate late attention was paid to the rumor about the fact that Mr. Taylor, president of St. Mark's, held a receipt from President Heron of the Ideal, which showed that the latter had accepted $50 as part payment on the hire of a court for this season. A letter has since been received from the Ideal by the St. Mark's Club explaining that the court could be had again this year but at an increased rental of $50, making it $250 for a season's hire. TRACK AND FIELD The outdoor season will receive its initial opening in Harlem by the men's games of the Salem Crescent A. C., which are to be held at McCombs Dam Park on Sunday afternoon. May be more, this club promises to come into its own and present to athletic followers such performers as brought to the front before the war. The Salem Crescents have a real live hire track manager in Arthur Schmidt, who is strangling every field for the games on the strength Preparation is being made to accommodate the few individuals who are expected to be on hand when these former athletic leaders perform. In order to have an accurate idea of the little chances for this season, Many more Graham is having Sandy Evans, the national junior half mile champion come down from Connecticut where he needs to start in his speciality. John Brunon on Salem Crescent's former main day being urged to come out and again take a fling at the middle distance. Any team having such men as Alcott and Brunson can consider itself well on the way to success. Details of the Salem Crescent meet will be found in the next issue of Turt Ice. Despite the cool weather a few athletes are already out on the local tracks conditioning themselves for the New York A. C. games which are to be held at Travers Island on June 5. As usual the cream of the athletes in the east and a number of the westerners are expected to battle for supremacy before the New York A. C. Fashionable crowd. Athletes are at full of the clubs in the vicinity which makes it look like a lively battle is to take place. The junior championships of the Metropolitan Association of the A. A. U. will be held on June 12. The grounds on which they'll take place have not been decided upon. There are three places under consideration: Steven's Institute Field, McCombs Dum Park and City College Stadium. AT YOUR SERVICE THE HARLEM JAZZ ORCHESTRA WM. R. BROWN, Jr. (Lanier). 59 West 10th St. R. Y. C. Moore R. Cordemay, Jr. (Brownstreet, NY). 137 West 12th St. R. Y. C. FIELD JIM. 300 W. 12th St. Many runners are expected to use the N. Y. A. c meet, which precedes this by a week, in order to get right for the metropolitan junior championships. Olympic Tests in Harvard Stadium. The junior and senior championships of the National Amateur Athletic Union will be held in Harvard Stadium on July 16 and 17. These events will not only crown the winners as National champions, but will make them eligible to represent this country in the Olympic games in August. Many of our boys are determined to make the trip over. A Sermon Worth While Everett Bradley, a young white man of Oklahoma who journeyed to Philadelphia and won the Pentathlon in the Penn relays gave out a little sermon following his victory that might be taken seriously by some of our athletes. Bradley claimed that early to bed and a total abstinence from smokes and liquors was the reason for his success. Well might our boys take this advice, especially the early to bed part of it. No runner whose hours of rest are not regulated can expect to remain very long in the limelight. We have had our living examples to bring out this fact but few of our youngsters profit by their predecessor's errors once they get their names in the papers. The winner of this all around athletic event must possess a sturdy frame. Bradley is but twenty two years old yet he weighs 165 pounds. ATILETES PREPARE FOR OUTDOOR SEASON Mccombs Dam Park will bristle with athletes next Sunday, should the weather permit. Aside from the Salem Crescent's first, its members garnes which is on the program every athletic aspirant with hopes of an Olympic trip will be out to limber up for the strenuous outdoor season promised. Managers of the Alpha, St. Christopher and Salem-Crescent clubs are eagerly looking forward to discovering some diamonds in the rough during the day's proceedings. A popular club that expects to take up track athletics more seriously is the Spaster Field Club. Having been deprived of their field at 145th street, where they formerly played cricket all summer, they feel called upon to enter into an other sport vigorously an in past years in order to their arm before the public. With these four clubs striving for supreme honors, a chance is seen for some likely competition. Pete White Gone West. Pete White, the former Salem-Crescent sprinter who won the Major Cobb Trophy at the 15th Infantry games last March, has taken up his residence in Akron Ohio. Word from Pete tells us that he likes the place and the working conditions and is thinking seriously of making that his permanent abode. Pete has great hopes of making the Olympic team and intends starting training soon in order to be fit for the tryout in July. William French is another of our local athletes to hike west "Frenchie" will be remembered was main-train on the Spartan field basketball ball team last season. He and his whole family have journeyed out to Cleveland for keeps. With so many Negroes getting into track and field athletics there should be some room for a few colored officials. Or is the same condition to exist here that we had in basket ball? Enter the Bon-Tons You just can't keep them out of the limelight. The basketball season is closed, yet Bob Douglas is still on the managerial level. The genial Mr. Douglass is now acting as pilot for the Bon Ton Boys in their social aspirations. Judging from the reputations of a number of those listed among this club's members, there is little left for them to aspire to in the social world for the most of them are already recognized as social lions. The following are among the favored Harlemites to claim membership: John "Big" McDonald, William Frischie, A. Turkey Guttens, C. Wesley Smith, "Chief" Dover, George Waterman, Johnny Capert, Chas. A. Rolston, Evans Hackett, and Otho Robinson, Evans Hackett and Otho Robinson have five other purposes other purpose than to give their many friends in Harlem a good time and thereby keep them in good spirits till the next basketball season. They have selected Bob Douglas to preside over them even in their pleasure, with C. E. Cafrer a secretary. On Decoration Day, May 31, they make their initial bow before their many friends with a basketball picnic and dance at Manhattan Casino and park. It is their intention to have the grounds around the popular dance hall decorated THE NEW YORK AQR, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1980 for the occasion. Those who are free on the holiday may go in the morning, take aloong their hunches and stay all day for one admission will suffice for day and evening. A good bill is in being golden together consisting of high class entertainers only and the splendidly entertained. Details are to follow in future issues of TZ Amz. POST OFFICE NEWS TO THE EDITOR OF THE ACE: I have been very much interested in the letters you have carried in recent issues of your paper relating to the conduct of our girls in the postal service. I admired the reply coming from the Girls of Grand Central Station, 2nd Division, in which they so nobly defended themselves and at the same time called to account some of our male colored clerks in their station who presumably had left themselves open to criticism. I appreciate the stand of neutrality which you have taken in the whole affair and believe you deserve to be commended for it. Following your example, I, too, am going to remain neutral, even though I have seen some things that might have caused questions. That is one question which we debate much our station and which might serve toward presenting other than friendly business relations between our girls and the white men working alongside of them. The question is—"Should our girls permit their fellow employees to call them by their given names?" "It is impossible to work alongside of any person for any length of time and not pass some pleasantries," writes the Grand Central Girls, 2nd Division. "It is the most natural thing in the world for us to laugh and joke and be congenial," they continue. Now I ask, "Is it not possible for this congeniality to exist, is it not possible for them to laugh and joke and pass pleasantries without permitting Tom, Harry and Dick to call them by their given name?" To begin with, I must confess that I am in a division where from some to others have opposite roles. My labors are confined to wrestling with parcel post packages. This idea which I am advancing may be only a selish whim of my own yet it has received a lot of consideration from my co-workers and I will appreciate a word on it from other of your readers; some of whom have expressed themselves so clearly on other subjects through your columns. Thanking you for the space allowed me, I am, "Yours truly, C. MEN WHO DC THINGS From time immemorial, it has ever been a fact that the men who accustomed the most, are the men who have the least time. The late Rooessel will rarely time the late Rooessel in engagement with an excuse of "being too busy." Yet his speeches often called him from one extremity of the country to another and he submitted articles more or less regularly to many of the country's leading publications. Dr. Frank Crane has written an article each week day for the last ten years whether he was sick or well, whether he was at home or in a hospital. Nevertheless he has found time to make speeches at various public meetings and to engage in other uplift work. We have our own Roosevelt and Crane in the post offices throughout the city. Men who despite their eight hours of labor and ottimes one and two hours overtime take advantage of opportunities and not down note of their co-worker activities. Little do they realize the good they are doing by informing Their Acr readers that Miss "Whoosy" passed her scheme examination with 90 per cent. or Mr. "What-It-Is" is away on a vacation. They are not only helping to acquaint clerks in all stations with one another but are keeping these clerks' friends not engaged in postoffice work. We well informed of the movements. We are invited by our volunteer representatives have been so interesting that the number of readers not in the service is greatly in excess of those so engaged. Above all we wish to commend these young men for their cleanliness. It can be said to their credit that never have we had to strike out any part of their notes owing to anything being unit to print. In all fairness to them we wish to present their name, despite their protests to an appreciative public. And this is no more than following our policy of giving flowers to the living. The public benefactors are R. H. O. Young of Grand Central Station; Hermen E. Foster of Hudson Terminal; Rutherford Jackson, Cyril Marshall and J. J. Higgs of City Hall Station; and our liaison contributor, Paul Black of the 3rd division of the last named station. We are deeply thankful for their continued support and hope that in time we may be able to see them receive a just reward. Their success should encourage others in other stations, or even in their simulations, to send in weekly reports to this office. SPORTS MUSICIANS About the Who, How, Where and When of Greater New York Grand Central Station. Robert A. Sistem and Wm. H. Taylor are on the sick list. Miss Helen Walkins and Miss Theresa Farrar, successfully passed the city ex- citation. After visiting Atlantic City and other points of interest, Miss Eustalia Lane returned to duty.

Miss Angelica Winston is on the sick list. Mr. Higgs has been transferred to G. P. O. Wm. E. Harper, the popular G. P. O. clerk who has been working the California table at Grand Central Station has returned to his station. Among the popular G. P. O. clerkks who are covering side tables at G. P. O. are Clarence Wainwright E. Harper, Chester L. E. Green and I. E. Grand Central Station was well represented at the Hope Day Nursery's Dance on Friday evening. Among those present were: Misses Maud Mason, Josephine Patten, Helen Watkins; Chas Schuster, Wm. H. Turner, Wm. H. Taylor and Robt. H. O. Young, the latter two being among Lientenant S. Mike's crack users. Hudson Terminal After a one month's illness, Miss Pauline Branham returned to duty Wednesday, May 5. Miss Lila, E. Washington, city clerk was transferred to Grand Central Station last Friday. Clarence Hogans, appointed sub-clerk May 6, is assigned to this station in division of mail. Miss Emma Crichton reported Monday from vacation. Andrew Pullins, formerly of transportation department, is reported to be working for the Pullman Co. City Hall Station. Our idea of real pals are Misses C. and G. By the bye we should like to go and see the officer do since Ms. M. resigned. One blessing—the "Officer" remains in the service. It was reported in this office that a certain clerk from this station went up on his scheme Monday morning and made the wonderful average of 50 per cent, which we all know is little more than half of the required 95 per cent. We don't know who it was but "Sertar. R." was trying to borrow a miniature case Monday afternoon from the famous "Minature. Case Man." The "sarg" knows music but who ever said a scheme was musical. By popular request, we repeat that the "Minature Case Man" passed his exam, on the New York table with 90.3 per cent. For which feat he receives not only our credit but the government's "cash"—100 proof. The "B. Herald" reports that quite a good, as well as an excitable time was enjoyed by the chosen few at the City Hall Wistl Club session last Saturday evening and Sunday morning. The club convened at Cleo's residence in "Brooklyn by the Sub." Friend B. has confessed to being seen in the neighborhood of G. T. O. quite frequently during the past fogginess. Come to think of Emmie never has like City Hall station away. Any Jrd division clerk in G. T. O. desiring a mutual should communicate with him. (No charge for this ad.) Mr. G. certainly loves and shows his attention on his "relatives", up the country. Ask Hawkshaw, he knows. The Misses C. H. H. M. and S. are about in the same class. Some class—well say. Each week we are confronted with new peplestyles. This week finds us trying to figure which is bigger, the words or the cigars used by the count. Kumar has it that the Rev. J. I. recently sold the title one a pocket dictionary. A. A. R. is the double of a man on Brooklyn. In times gone by we'd class him as 100 proof. Now that term is obsolete. My but those nick names are going strong. There's hardly a person in the 2nd division who doesn't know the "Captain." Weekly Strong Predictions—Every clerk in Grand Central will eventually buy a book; state case man will go over the top. Lovejoy Club's Election Postponed. The annual election of the Elijah P. Lovejoy Club was postponed from last Sunday to their next regular meeting. On Friday, May 21st, this club of post THE UTOPIA NEIGHBORHOOD CLUB ANNOUNCES THE Martin-Smith Music School Announce a Special Summer Course of Light (9) Weeks for Teachers, Students beginning June 21, 1998 for other particulars, address H11R 1107 office employees will hold an entertainment and dance for its members at the Community Center, 14th street and Seventh avenue. Invitations are to be given to each of the ninety members on roll for distribution among their friends. Admittance will be gained by invitation only. The club plans to spare no expense in making this affair a success. An attorney will be welcomed to be served by a committee already appointed. This committee is endearing to get ladies to serve on the evening of the eighteenth. On this occasion good music will be a certainty for the best music obtainable has already been engaged. Secretary Conyers would have every clerk ever affiliated with the organization to call at the office of treasurer Chas. Hamilton, host 145th street and invitation should be given them through the mails before Saturday, May 15. These are arrangements for everybody who has ever been connected with the club. It is thought to be the opinion of the majority that the club has outgrown its present club rooms at 230 West 16th street. One of the principal subjects therefore at the next regular meeting will be a change of quarters. The Community Center is looked upon favorably as a new site and will undoubtedly receive much consideration owing to its excellent location and reasonable rental. $ \textcircled{1} $ Christopher Club Election St. Christopher Club held its annual election of officers Tuesday evening, May 4.
