Y., SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1921 BEST EDITED—BEST KNOWN PRICE FIVE CENTS MM. Paulius Sannon, Stenio Vincent and Perceval Thoby, Haitian Mission To U.S., Gene Statement To THE AGE Haitian Desiderata Given For First Time Personnel of Mission Is Now Complete and First Statement Is Made. Prominent Haitians MM. Sannon, Vincent and Thoby Sent by Union Patriotique to Demand Congressional Probe of the Occupation. With the arrival in the United States on Saturday, February 20th, of M. Persal Theby, former Secretary of the Haitian Legation at Washington, the personnel of the Haitian Mission to this country is complete. The other members of M. Persal Sannon, former Haitian Minister to the United States, and M. Stenio Vincent, former Chairman of the Haitian Senate, reached New York on February 12nd and have remained here awaiting the arrival of their confrence. It was thought that the Mission would proceed at once to Washington, but it isimated that the gentlemen composing the Mission realized the needlessness at making any attempt to secure an unprejudiced hearing from the Wilson Administration, and so they wisely refrained from any active effort until the reins of government had been transferred to another element of the body politic. Notice To The Public. You are invited to attend the opening of Dr. Wiley Wilson's Office Building and Private Sanitarium, 2354 Seventh Avenue, corner 138th Street, To-day, Thursday, March 3, 1921. Open for Inspection 1 P. M. to 11 P. M. A number of interesting dislegues concerning Haitian conditions under the American Occupation have found their way into the American press, so THE New York. Not sought an opportunity to have the gentlemen of the Haitian Commission gave a direct message to the American people through as columns. This they readily consented to do, through M. Vincent, and they have given concerning the object of their Mission in this country, as follows: Statement From the Mission. Since the American Occupation in Hawaii more than five years ago, due to the militia's ownership and the martial law has been impossible for the Haitian government, any accurate account thereof of the features contributing to the Wilson Administration in the Island Republic. Some men visit the landing at Port au Prince of the United States marines, a treaty has been imposed on the Haitian government. We are imposed, because a treaty to the Memorandum of the American Legation at Port au Prince, the treaty was to be accepted without public notice by the Haitian Government. The treaty was easily exerted for the commander of the American experimental force, Near Admiral W. B. Oppenheim, already seized the Custom House and the Haitian Treasury Funds and had discharged the local army. In spite of the violence with which the Treaty was imposed upon the people, it has not been put into full execution. For instance, the Government of MOTHER ZION CHURCH ROBBED MONDAY NIGHT Unknown and unidentified visitors to Mother A. M. E. Zion church, West Brow street, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor on Monday night were somewhat disappointed when they found that the house had removed from the edifice the furniture received in the Sunday collection, installing approximately $50, but they included themselves with breaking into a desk in the trustee room and abstracting about $50, including some Sunday school money and some sums when had been left for safekeeping by the church membership. The regular meeting of the trustees had been held earlier in the evening and the sum representing the Sunday collection had been turned over to the proper officials for transference to the bank each Tuesday morning. After the trustees had gone and the church building was locked up for the night, entrance was secured by the miscreants who cut out a window on the east side of the building. Proceeding to the trustee room a panel was cut from the door and then the Yale lock could be reached from the inside and the door unlocked. When the room was entered on Tuesday morning the desk was discovered open and papers scattered all over the floor. But to all appearances only the $50 referred, to was missing. The authorities were notified and detectives assigned to the case, but no trace of the invaders had been discovered when this report was written. the United States pledged itself to aid the Haitian Government in . 'the proper and efficient development of his agricultural,' 'mineral and commercial resources and in the establishment 'of the finances of Haiti on a firm and solid basis.' Nothing has been done in this particular. In regard to the unanticipated charge of diligence made against the Haitian people in the Admiral Knopp report, we must add that not a single schoolhouse has been built by the American officials. In no way gave the Haitian people gotten any effective benefit after an experiment of more than five years. And in the meanwhile the people have been ruled with an iron hand by the Military Occupation. Harmful Acts Against Haitians. "Such harmful acts have been committed against the Haitians, as the corrupted system (enforced labor without pay) that the people of the interior have resolved. The Cacoa agitation had its inception because the peasants understood that the Americans came into the country to put them into slavery. "With the failure of the American intervention, which confronts them, the Haitian people want to recover their sovereignty and national independence. Through a big Haitian organization, with branches all over the country, created last year and known as the "Union Patriotique," they have drafted and made public their national desiderata, as follows: "1st. Immediate suppression of the martial law (which has been proclaimed by Rear Admiral Caperton since December 2nd 1915) and the military courts. "2nd. Immediate reorganization of the Haitian forces (military and police) and consequently, the withdrawal in a short time of the American Occupation. "3rd. Abrogation of the Treaty of September 10th, 1915." The Roosevelt Constitution. "4th. Convention, in a short time, of a Constitutional Assembly to draw a new Constitution, the existing Constitution having been imposed by force of bayonets on the people. As everyone knows, Mr. Franklin D. Bosevelt, former Assistant Secretary of the Navy in the Wilson Administration took credit for himself during the last Presidential campaign of having written with his own hand Haiti's Constitution. So such a Constitution cannot be considered as an effective and national Constitution for the Haitian people. "It was to emphasize in this country the said desiderata that we have been sent here as Delegates of the Haitian people. "Our Mission is also to seek for a Congressional Inquiry into the whole Haitian situation, especially as to the numerous-charges of murder, ill-treatment, burnings, tortures, etc., perpetrated by the American marines in Haiti. There is much for a Congressional Commission to do in the way of bringing to light all the facts in the interest of justice to all." United States Senator from New York.

CRIPPEN WAR HERO IS FIRE HERO IN BROOKLYN When the four-story apartment house at 11 Sumpter street, Brooklyn, was burned on Friday afternoon, February 25th, it afforded the setting for a spectacular deed of heroism by Percy L. Crippen of 114 Buffalo avenue that was on a par with the heroic actions which won for him the Croix de Gueceré of France and the Victory Medal of the American army. In the midst of smoke and flames Crippen rescued from the top floor Mrs. Sarah Walott, seventy-two years of age, carrying her down a hir escape to the street. kelatives of the aged woman were convinced that Mrs Walcott had perished in the flames and were frantic in their grief and woe. In the midst of their lamentations Crippen was seen emerging from an upper window with the woman's body swung over his shoulder. The woman practically unconscious and Crippen, too, was dizzy from the suffocating fumes of the smoke. But he made his way down the fire escape to the street and Mrs Walcott was taken at once to the Beth Morris Hospital, Stuyvesant avenue and Hunt street.

E.) in the Argonne, is a member of the new 18th regiment, New York Guard, and was in full uniform wearing his decorations, when the rescue was effected.

"I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they are earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battle-fields of the republic have entitled to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands."—(Senator Harding at Marion, Ohio, July 22) This utterance by the President-elect should be sufficient answer to those carping critics of the press who are inclined to question the disposition of the coming Administration to give a square deal in the political recognition of all elements of American citizenship. THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. With the commission of Warren G. Hillard and Calum G. Lloyd, Vice President, the new national administration goes into office this week, to take up the responsibilities of government as the result of the verdict at the polls last November. Much is to be expected of the new administration, and while these expectations are likely to be realized in the main, there will be some matters in which undoubtedly all disputes cannot be gratified. The general make-up of the cabinet, so far as it was known at the time of its decidedly favorable for of a strong and united ad-hoc backed by men of experience ability in various walks while it might not be called an official role, it is composed of a variety of material, with strong and the Republican predominating in washington. Hughes as Secretary of state to that position the pres- sident as a former Governor of the state and associate Justice of the supreme Court, with the flavor of presidential possibilities still part of his career. Mr. Hughes is above all a lawyer and may be expected to provide security in handling the problems handed of Wilsonism. At the head of the Treasury Department is Andrew W. Mellon, a bank president of Pittsburgh, who is noted as a master of outstanding ability, and well qualified to grapple with the money problems of the nation. The War Department will be presided over by John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, who has won distinction as a successful business man and statesman. The Navy Department will be in charge of Edwin Denby of Michigan, the only Cabinet member to wear the American Legion button, and a former officer in the United States Marine Corps. He intimate knowledge of the business and services should be of advantage in investigating their activities in the conquest of Haiti and others of the smaller nations to the South. The naming of Theodore Roosevelt, son of the late President, as assistant Secretary of the Navy, is a stroke of sentiment, that will undoubtedly justify itself by practical results. The appointments of Harry M. Daugherty of Ohio, as Attorney General and Will H. Hays, of Indiana as Post-Master General are largely of a political character, as these two Republican leaders played an important part in the conduct of the campaign, which landed Senator Harding in the White House. At the same time they are men of dynamic force and practical ability which will find abundant opportunity for exercise in the departments committed to their care. Other members of the cabinet are Senator Albert B. Fall of New Mexico as Secretary of the Interior, Herbert C. Hoover, as Secretary of Commerce and Henry C. Wallace of Iowa as Secretary of Agriculture, James J. Davis, of Pittsburgh, was regarded as the almost certain choice for Secretary of Labor. All in all, it may be regarded as a cabinet built for business, in which the idea of business first will predominate, with the ability to do things, and to do them effectively and efficiently. This is the kind of cabinet that is needed to grapple with the task of national reconstruction. As far as the interests of the race are concerned, Messrs. Hays, Hughes and Daugherty are known as friends, whose disposition to deal fairly and squately with all men has stood the acid test. The other members of the cabinet may safely be presumed to be of the same higher moral education develops to prove otherwise. As far as the policy to be pursued toward the race is concerned, we are content to rely upon Senator Harding's utterance at Marion enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefield, the republic have earned, to all freedom and opportunity, all of pride and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands. The full measure of citizenship, accorded in the American spirit of fairness and justice, will meet all the requirements of the situation WORTHLESS STOCK SELLING. So fragrant has the practice grown of selling worthless stock to gullible investors, that several bills have been introduced into the New York publicourse seeking to safeguard the public. Through the registration of brokers offering stock and the tiling of maps and descriptions of property referred to in prospectuses as containing oil and minerals, it is sought to insure a certain degree of genuine merit in the stock propositions put forth. Whether any of these bills will be enacted into laws, and how effective they would prove if so enacted, remains to be seen. It is hard to protect those who will not take the most ordinary precautions to protect themselves against the schemes of dishonest promoters. One of this kidney is said to have boasted that he could sell shares in the Brooklyn bridge or the Municipal building by taking his prospect, as the gullible customer is called, through a tour of inspection of either one of these properties. It is not to be wondered at then that it is possible for a nervy operator to sell stock in dwelling houses, to which property he has no title or interest whatsoever. Or to vary the program, he may only sell an apartment, with the privilege of the purchaser to pay rent until the purchase price is completed. But in no case can he give any title to the property, either in bulk or by apartments. Such schemes as these could not succeed if it were not for the credulity of those having a little money, in part with it upon gaudy pretensions, which they do not investigate, but swallow out the slightest attempt to discover if there is any truth in them. In view of this tendency among many people to part with their hard earnings so readily, it would be well for the ministers to drop a word of caution so the members of their congregations against such unwise investments. Many of this class of investors, through their failure to read the papers, fall an easy prey to the oldest kind of confidence game. Most of them, however, have their religious affiliations and put faith in the advice from the pulpit. A pastoral word of warning would be respected and might save the hearer from wordly loss. Woodrow Wilson then placed the Treaty and the League of Nations before the Senate, and there he met with an opposition which he had entirely underestimated, an opposition which must have amazed, as well as chagrined him, although it was an opposition that had been foreshadowed and foretold. Wilson then carried the League of Nations before the people, before the people of the West, who had been his firmest supporters during the days of his advocacy of neutrality and unpreparedness; but not even from them did he receive the response he had expected. He called for a solemn referendum on his acts by the people, but at that time the people gave no indication as to what their verdict would be. This attitude of the people pierced Woodrow Wilson like a shaft. He waited; he went down. From the very pinnacle of his intellectual strength and power he fell, a stricken, ashen, aged man. Any proposition to raise millions of dollars by selling stock for the underwriting of Negro business corporations should be carefully scrutinized before committing one's cash to the undertaking. The raising of capital on this stock would be at considerable cost for commissions and expenses. The question would then be, how is this stock to be brought back to par after the deduction of the initial expenses which are to go to the promoters of the scheme. It is a proposition which involves too much risk for the prudent investor, who looks for safety for his principal with a small but regular dividend return. Later, the people answered his call to a soliton referendum, and they gave an overwhelming verdict against his acts, such as has been given to few men in history. For many years to come, Woodrow Wilson will hold a place in history chiefly as an interesting study to historians seeking to establish the causes for his headlong fall; but even now at close range many of the causes appear clearly. No man, with the exception of Thomas Jefferson, ever came to the Presidency so well fitted educationally and culturally as Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson was a scholar, an author, indeed, a historian; but for all his liberal education he never outgrew the bonds of the narrowest sort of partisanship. The law and the pulpit may combine to protect the too confiding public from the sellers of shares in the "blue sky" corporations, but in the last analysis the investor must learn to protect himself by turning a deaf ear to wormhles, stock propositions. Protect your pocket-hook by posting yourself as to the essential qualities of a good investment. If you have any doubts as to the merits of the investment or the character of the promoters, pass it up. Not even during the latter months of the Great War, nor even after the signing of the Armistice, when he was looked upon as the representative of mankind in general, was he able to forget that he was a Democrat,—not only a Democrat, but a Southern Democrat. This excessive partisanship kept him from being even a clever politician. He did not even demonstrate the shrewdness which goes with a medium order of political sagacity. He did not even make the attempt to use his political opponents, and thereby euchre them into a position where they could no longer obseh him. This is one of the causes of Woodrow Wilson's death. --- DODGING THE ISSUE According to the Littleburgh letter, some ingenuous schemes are being tried out in the effort to deal at the civil war ball now before the Pennsylvania legislature. The conspiracy started with seare-heads in the daily papers, every trivial arrest being made the basis for a feature story. The American, continues: Then there was his personal blame for him when using men of the biggest camble even in his own political party. He could not tolerate near him any man with ability that approached or surpassed his own. Everything that was done in his administration, he wished to have the personal credit for doing. This egotism led him to make his most fatal political blunder, and that was going to the Peace Conference. Woodrow Wilson could not realize what a man with less egotism could at once have seen, that at the time of the calling of the Peace Conference there was not ing that could further add to his personal glory. All that he needed at that time was somebody to blame for whatever went wrong, but instead of sending over to Pajis somebody to blame, he went himself, and as a consequence had to shoulder the blame himself for whatever went wrong. We have good authority for the statement that the thing is being done to discredit the Negro race and to have its effect on the legislators when the Civil Rights bill comes up for consideration. It is to plant the idea that Negroes are not fit persons to be granted equal rights in theaters, hotels, public places and on common carriers. It is an effort to prove the majority of us thugs and thieves. It is the wish proving father to the thought. This is the first step in the scheme to defeat the bill. H. G. Wells, a historian, speaks of the great mistake which Wilson made in going to the Peace Conference, but says that he audited to this error by taking his wife along. Many of the American representatives, following his example, took their wives along. "There was," says Mr. Wells, "a social quality, even a tourist quality introduced by these ladies. Transport facilities were limited, but most of them arrived in Europe with a radiant air of privilege. Tilley came as if they came to a treat. They were, it was intimated, seeing Europe under exceptionally interesting circumstances. Important interviews were broken off to visit some old historical mansion. This may seem a trivial matter in a 'History of Mankind,' but it was such small human things as this that threw a miasma of futility over the Peace Conference of 1919. In a little while one discovered that Wilson, the Hope of Mankind, had vanished, and that all the fashion papers contained pictures of a delighted tourist and his wife grouped smilingly with crown heads and such like enviable company. * * * It is easy to devise after the event and to perceive that he should not have come over." The next is equally ingenious, equally clever. In Allegheny and Philadelphia counties, both large centers of Negro population, the assemblymen will vote FOR the bill. The country districts will vote AGAINST it and thus the measure will be defeated. When we remonstrate with the men who had our suffrage the answer will be: "Well, we did all we could for you. You see we voted solidly for the bill. We talked for it, worked for it, but could not put it across. Now you just return it to us again and we'll be able to carry it through." And we are supposed to believe them! Forewarned: is forewarned. The Republican leaders in the legislature should be held responsible for the passage of the bill. It would be easy enough for them to make it a party measure in caucus and thus enlist the full party strength in its support. Another cause for Wilson's downfall was the fact that he put his trust in words and phrases. He did coin many eloquent and almost magical phrases, but he made the mistake of thinking that his phrases possessed magical power. He had the fault of most men who are, preachers of words and phrases in feeling that a thing well said is well done. A white man named H. B. Futielle was sentenced to four years in state prison by a North Carolina judge, for leading a mob which stormed the county court house at Goldsboro last December, in an attempt to get possession of three Negroes charged with thunder. Futielle appealed to the Supreme Court and his bond was fixed at $4,000. Nevertheless, the Negroes were found to be guilty. very important that he believe what he preached. His greatest claim to greatness was as a prophet of "democracy," of "the rights quently and earnestly for Belgians in Belgium, for Serbians in Serbia, for Armenians in Armenia; but neither in his thoughts nor in his acts did he ever intend them to cover and include the Negro in the United States. After all, the Negro becomes the supreme test of Woodrow Wilson's greatness and by that test he fails. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1921 VIEWS and REVIEWS THE PASSING OF WOODROW WILSON. When this issue of THE AGE reaches the majority of our readers, Woodrow Wilson will have passed out of office as President of the United States. TRAPS FOR NORTHERNERS. Vice President Coolidge recently made a visit South and from the tenor of his remarks made before a Negro gathering in Atlanta, the great majority of those who heard him came to the conclusion that he had fallen into the trap prepared by the wily Southeners, where the average Northerner falls, when he goes South. More than that, in spite of the conspicuous and powerful place he held in the United States and in the world during the whole time of his second administration, Woodrow Wilson will, on March 4th, pass out of public life, apparently out of public notice more completely than any man who ever returned from the Presidency. It is an axiom that a man's permanent place in history cannot be definitely fixed by his contemporaries. Often, it is long before the forces set in motion by a man's life culminate in results, and it is seldom that these results are promptly perceived and recognized. This trap is prepared by his entertainers telling the visitor of all the good things that the South has done and is doing for the benefit of the Negro. Some of these things may be true and exist in fact; while others are likely to be projects not get carried out or to be projects not yet carried out or more likely exist only in thought. Nevertheless, the Northern swallows all as gospel truth. There will be a long, and perhaps endless, controversy about Woodrow Wilson's place in history, but that controversy will not be so equally balanced as it promised to be, say, two years ago. In the case of Woodrow Wilson, the forces set in motion by his life have, with unprecedented rapidity, culminated into results which have been almost immediately perceived and recognized. Then the Northern visitor is taken to the worst part of the Negro section and shown through the filthy streets, where the lowest dives, dens and places of ill repute are maintained with the connivance of the city officials of course, though this last trial is suppressed. The accompaniment to this exhibit is the chorus: "Do you blame us for keeping this class of 'niggers' out of politics?" A little more than two years ago, he left the United States to attend the Peace Conference. He went holding in his hands wider powers than had ever been held by any American. When he reached the shores of Europe, he was proclaimed a prophet of a new and better order, the saviour of a heartsick world, as a messiah bringing in the millennium of peace and brotherhood. At that time, the preponderant opinion in a controversy over Woodrow Wilson's place in history would have put him above all those who before had been regarded as the supreme arbiters of human destinies. He would have been written down only a little lower than the founders of the great religions. Immediately the disgusted Northirian visitors swallows the bait and the aspirations of the educated, well-to-do and aggressive members of the race had no favor in his eyes. They are completely smashed by what he has been made to see and hear by his ingenious Southern hosts. This has happened, we are told, every time a reputed great man of the North had gone South. A little less than two years ago, Woodrow Wilson came back from Europe with the League of Nations under his arm. He came back with his lustre a bit dimmed. The forces he had set in motion were beginning already to culminate in results. Nowhere in the world, least of all in the United States, was he regarded as a messiah. The halo had completely disappeared. Nevertheless, a vast number of people, constrained more by hope than by reason, still looked to him as the prophet of a new and better order. At that time, opinion in a controversy over Woodrow Wilson's place in history would have been balanced between according him supreme greatness and rating him as one of the great forces. In the case of the Vice President the result of this tutelage was depicted by a correspondent, who recorded his disappointment in the following terms: Our vice-President-elect was with us last Saturday night and spoke at the First Congregational church. While he made a very nice talk, we when he told the colored people that they were among their best friends, we realized two things: It was a very disappointing affair for the reason that he showed ignorance of the subject in hand, or was afraid to express himself. His friends, and I am one of them, thought it would have been far better for him not to have touched upon the race question at all. Far better is it for men who claim to be statesmen, to live and talk in national airs and national themes. As he dabbles in small things, it saps his dignity and places him on a common level, with the 2 by 4 politician. This illustrates the use of one of the most effective weapons in the hands of the white Southerner to enforce his views upon the Northerners by force of social contact. Through such devices members of Congress and other high officials are brought over to the view point of the White South, which is based on the principle of keeping the Negro down. How are such ripts for unwary Northerners to be avoided? IN THE SCHOOLMASTER'S DESK. An old pupil of the Mulberry street school in referring to the idiosyncrasies of the venerable principal of some fifty years ago, recalled a peculiarity that illustrated his insistence on personal cleanliness and neatness among the boys under his charge. The principal kept a currycomb in his desk. Where came from of these boys in the previous year. But came to him with his head in such a state as betrayed the utter neglect of comb and brush, the currycomb would be produced, with the intimation that its use would be imperative, unless the neglectful one presented a better appearance in future. The warning was usually effective in producing results. Another incident of school discipline was the inspection of faces, hands and fingernails, as to cleanliness, and footwear as to the degree of polish preceding, with particular attention to the heels. In these later days the demands of unisidate pedagogy are too exacting to allow principal or teachers, much time to inculcate the principles of personal neatness, though they might be worked in under the head of hygiene. That there is need for such a course was arrested by the remarks of a Harlem mother, the other day, when she gave as her reason for transferring a child from one school to another, that the children of the first named school were "too dirty." Now, if the instructors are unable to remedy such a condition as this, the duty falls back on the parents, where it originally belonged. Every parent should see that the child is clean and neat when it is sent to school. Of course, it cannot be expected to remain so all day, but at least it can start in that state each morning. KOWALIGA Kowaliga is an Indian name which was given to a little river in the uplands of Alabama, along the borders of which was once a reservation for the remnants of the tribe. At present this is thickly settled farming community inhabited by a comparatively thrifty and industrious class of colored people. The upward life of the community is centered around the Kowaliga School. The nexer City, is sixteen This school is the only educational institution on the kind within a radius of forty miles, and the nearest to the river. sand acres, with a colored population of nearly one thousand colored people. According to the report of the principal, Kowaliga School is the educational hope of the children of this community, 510 of whom are of school age. About half of them were in school this year. It receives no funds from the county, the state or nation, for its support. Nevertheless it has enrolled and taught at least 4,200 children since it was started. Its work covers the grammar grades in academic subjects and the fundamentals in domestic science, and the trades common to a rural community. The school plant is described as a splendid one. The farm of 122 acres is mostly wooded, but enough has been cleared and tilled to produce a large part of the toodorist for the maintenance of the school. Much of the meat needed for the winter and spring, as well as the eggs, butter and milk are of home production. An orchard is being developed to furnish frims for canning and preserving. The budget asked for next year is ten thousand dollars. This includes teaching, equipment, lighting, heating, repairs and painting some of the buildings, which are all substantial frame structures. A striking feature of the report is the following paragraph: Our service flag contains forty stars representing forty lives that had been touched and influenced by Novaliga School. Some of these saw service in France. Most of them are back in the community with keener interest in its life. The necessity for an institution of this kind, maintained principally by voluntary contributions, is beyond question, situated as it is in the midst of a community where the condition of the children is so poor, that many were kept away from school during the cold winter by insufficient clothing and no shoes. The lack of proper provision for schooling by the start is shown by the fact that the average wage paid the colored teachers of the public schools, where there are any, is $22.50 per month. This school was founded in 1899 by the late William E. Benson, who labored earnestly in its behalf. The present principal, Clarence A. Powell, who makes his first report in that capacity, establishes a good case for the claims of the school as a useful factor in race development. It is the multiplication of such institutions as Kowaiiga that is making sure the future of the race in the South. Referring to the near riot started to prevent the speaking of Osward G. Villard before a leading Cincinnati club, the Cincinnati Union recalled the fact that in 1845, his grandfather, William Lloyd Garrison, was mobbed there for speaking against slavery. Truly, history repeats itself. A Negro couple residing at Pollocksville, N.C., both of whom have reached the age of eighty three years, are repelled to have become the parents of a child born a few days ago. This is gited as a sample of the vitality and virility of the race in North Carolina. A record that will stand unparalleled, we should say. Despite the fact that President Harding called off the official inaugural ball at Washington, plans were carried out in the name of National Press. In for a great public and inaugural reception and ball" on March 4. While much worthless as Perry Howard of Mississippi, William McDonald of Texas, Charles Cottrill, who is ticketed as "President Harding's right hand man," were announced to be present we had no intention of the President or Vice President having been invited. Why this omission? "The Richmond Flower press with scher approval this fact: Some colored folks are saving their money and an increasing number are saving in banks operated by their own people. A hopeful sign of double significance. May their tribe increase and their interest be compounded. Says the Richmond Planet sagely: Some people believe in paying their debts and some other people believe in dodging their obligations. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, and the dodgers very likely believe that they are contributing to its activities. O: W. White in the Africo-American Presbyterian thus expatiates on the Negro's gift for poetry: "First of all, there is depth and fervor of feeling. In race equals or approaches his in the capacity of yielding to the control of rythmic emotion. In all the arts this rythmic nature is necessary; in poetry it is half the equipment. Not merely a part of the Negro yields to this emotion, but his whole being. This fervor of feeling pre-supposes power of imagination, and this also the Negro has in a peculiar and pre-eminent degree. Those two endowments make the highest spiritual achievements—moral religious, artistic. Negro poetry today, by virtue of these gifts, exhibits the priceless quality of inspiration." And the crop of race poets is growing larger and larger. May the inspiration be so quality using as his fair Under the heading of Do For Ourselfs. the Ala.

"Prior to the concert Mr. Woodward advertised us repeatedly as his pupil, from the West, who were nine singers, and wanted all the public to buy tickets for the recital. He had also arranged concert dates for us in Boston and Chicago, and had planned to accompany us to Boston. Under the circumstances we cannot whistle he should attempt to唱 the recital, but we did poorly, not to come extent to be blamed on the training received." "Allie" Ross of the New Amsterdam Municipal Association, incorporated, is taking an orchestra of fifteen men to Harrisonburg Pa., on March 10th, to play in the series of Sunday recitals being promoted in that city, to certain public-sponsored individuals. G. Carroll Clark will be the baritone soloist on Sunday. Miss Jannie Brown, soprano, Felx Wert, violinist, and Leonard Jeter, cellist, are booked for another Sunday in the near future. More concerning the anon. A concert of music for piano and voice was given by a group of amateur singers and players led by Ch尔德 Armstrong, basso, and Robert Hedge, pianist, on Monday night, February 26th at Rush Memorial A M E Zon Church, West 18th street, the Rev. Dr. G. M. pastor, pastor. A good audience, including a number of whites, heard the recital. The program had its ambitious spots, and Wilfried G. Springer, the manager, (finally) stated to the audience as its conclusion that the artists were aware of fundamental weakness but were striving to attain eventually to the heights of more perfect endeavor. A group of the smaller compositions by Mendelsohn, Chopin and Schubert-Liget was given by Mr. Hodge, whose performance showed evidence of talent which may ripen, if properly cultivated, into fruitage of worthy effort. Mr. Armstrong sang two groups of songs, Schubert's "The Wandecer" the most important number. He has a voice with depth and resonance and promise of possibilities if given careful direction. The first group was with piano, accompaniment and organ, as well as for the shaper. H. Cladson Mussolli had the shaper at both instruments. Mr. Armstrong's number were, aside from the Schubert song, "Asleep in the deep" (Lamb) "Ave Marzi" (Toshi) and "The Penitent" (Vandever). Miss Alice Gilbert sang two soprano groups, including "Ave Maria" (Gounod), "Serenade" (Ambrose), "Hark尔 Hark the lark!" (Schubert), "Death and the maiden" (Schubert), and "The bird and the rose" (Herrocks). Miss Gilbert has a voice with some pleasing tones in the lower register, and my impression is that she would be more successful in contralto songs. This opinion was strengthened by the manner in which she sang the closing passage in "Death and the maiden." Miss Italian Galloway, a statuesque young woman of commanding stage presence, same five songs, in two groups, the singing (Romanondi Johnson).

He has tones of mellow sweetness and possesses a satelitary range. This can be increased, of course, by study and training. He was the victim of an unfortunate lapse of memory in the last part of Marshall's "I hear you calling me," losing the melody. Professor Gladstone Marshall was at the piano but failed to pick up the lost strain, and so the singer's effort to recover himself only carried him the farther ankle. He made gallant attempts at retrieving the song, for some reason the accompanist termed it the lost his temper and his chumpin of the piano as characterized more by power than clarity. Mr. Lancaster sang his other songs in a most pleasing manner, as indeed, was his rendering of the ill-timed number until the unfortunate lapse occurred. They were "At dawning" (Cadman), "Deep Kisser" (Burleigh and "Mother Machire" (Dicott-Ball). Mr. Springer announced, in thankking the audience, that other concerts would be given in the near future. Hampton, Va.-Harel Harrison, the well-known pianist of Chicago, who has received the warm praise of American and foreign music critics for her technical skill and her sympathetic musicianship, played recently before a large and appreciative audience in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute. Miss Harrison, playing was fully up to the expectation of her audience. Her numbers showed clearly her grasp of the meaning of the master's in piano composition. Miss Harrison's promise of her earlier years, when she was billed as a musical prodigy, did not fail of a fulfillment in her Hampton Institute program. She played with excellent technical facility and, as Herman Devries, music editor of the Chicago Ecumenical American, had already said of her, "It is her heart that plays. Her fingers are but the obedient medium." Miss Harrison's program follows: Bach-Busoni "Chaosome" Chopin-Liszt "Marlena's Wish" Chopin-Liszt "Nocturne" Chopin "Nosterez" Liszt "Snake Quail" Beethoven-Liszt "Song of Emperor" Snetana "By the Sea" Paganini-Liszt "The Concerto" Donizetti-Liszt "Valerie de Concerto" on two motifs: Lucia and Parisima" CHOIRMASTERS & ORGANISTS Choirmasters are asked to furnish THIS Act, with their musical programs for Palm and Easter Sundays not later than Nuesday, March 14th. St. Mark's M. E. Church On Sunday, February 27th, the morning and evening service, at St. Mark's, M. E. Church were well attended, despite the heavy downpour throughout the entire day. The pastor, Dr. W. H. Brooks, was the speaker at the morning service and delivered a very thrilling and masterly sermon. Text., Romans, 7th chapter, 19th, 20th and 21st verses. Theme—"Life's contradictions" In the course of his able remarks Dr. Brooks made the assertion that the things which deal with the problems and experiences of human life can never be outgrown. There are certain forces in every man's life which reckon upon him in the struggle of life and he undertakes to fight his battles in his own strength, without without God's divine aid, will meet with newwakeable failure. Continuing, he made the declaration that man never stoves true Christian life until he has tried himself. He is the greatest need of the world today. In the evening, Rev. Frank Robinson, one of the local preachers of the church, was the occupant of the pulpit and preached an able sermon. The Sunday School was well attended and the collection good. The attendance of the Interstate and Brotherhood Bible Classes was large and a vigorous and helpful discussion of the day's lesson was led by their respective Leader, D. L. Struthers and Lumber B. Jones. The musical and literary exercises of the Epworth League were well attended. Dinner was served by the Ladog's Aid in the Church House, Mrs. Annie Smith and Mrs. Mary Deas in charge. The Foreign Mission Board, of which Miss M. L. Yoncay is president, held a meeting in the assembly room of the church house. Mrs Rosa L. Bowen was in charge and Mrs. Hancock was the principal speaker. Four persons joined the church at the morning service. Next Friday evening, Love Frost will be held. All members and friends are urgently requested to attend this time honored Christian festival. At both sites, the trust under direction of Choromaster E. A. Jackson rendered excellent music. Salem M. E. Church and Lyceum. Nowwithstanding the stormy day Sunday, a large and enthusiastic crowd greeted the Rev. A. B Vincent at the 10 o'clock service, who paused a soul-stirring sermon: Themes: "Rise Building." The Sunday School rendered an entertaining missionary program at 2:30 p.m. The whole class is making rapid progress under the superintendency of R. M. Ellis. An excellent program was rendered at the Lyceum. Rev. Aline of New Rohrle delivered a forceful and scholarly address to a large and appreciative audience. Albert Jones was in charge. The Epworth League was well attended. At the evening service, Rev F. A. Cullen, the pastor, who has just returned from a ten days' rest at Pleasantville, New Jersey, preached the annual sermon to the ushers of Salem. In suite of the bad night, the church was packed. The choir under the direction of Choirmaster Rudolph Grant rendered excellent music. The class leaders rally will open February 28th and close March 11th. An excellent program will be given each night. Pierce Emmangel Church Pastor Bolden prescribed a beautiful serenon on last Sunday morning from St. Matthew 6:10.—The Kingdom Come. For over a month at the 11 a.m. services, the pastor has been preaching a series of sermons from The Lord's Prayer, which has proved exceedingly helpful and interesting. The pastor said that the Lord's Prayer was given at a mood upon which he built our prayers. The Lord's Prayer, the Kingdom of God is at hand. Let one we come out and take it, let one we another as we love ourselves. "The music rendered by the choir was very appropriate. One person joined the church. Several visitors were present." Hope Day Nursery Statement As To Condition of Its Work So often is this query put to the members of the Board of Managers and friends of Home Day Nursery "What becomes of all that money," that the Board of Managers feel, that some statement concerning the money handled by the Nursery is due its many friends and well-wishers who contribute yearly, toward its support. For the benefit of those who would like to keep on clear touch with the institution, the Nursery publishes an annual report, the matters published in detail, all matters, unusual and other matters performed by the Nursery. This report may be sent to the Nursery, upon request, from one of the Board of Managers, or at the Nursery, the annual report for the year ending December 31, 1919, being compiled and ready for distribution. The annual report for 1920 Hoge Day Nursery, which is located at 31 West West Street, was organized in March, 1922. It is a small group of coloured women, who became interested in the welfare of the children of working mothers. Since 1922, the Nursery has been incorporated and organized as The Hoge Day Nursery Inc. for coloured children. The Institution will be twenty years old March, 1922. It is the theatre, the owner among members of its kind in the city. Secured Home in 1214. The Nursery come into possession of us pre-own home in 1814, through the trustees of our will with the Rev. W. Wilkinson, the last year, through the trustees of the Nursery, the prior president, Mr. Albert S. Reed, the founding fund committee, and trustees who assisted them in the interim rally of December and January, 1917 and 1918, the Nursery now stands tree and clear of all indistincts. The amount of mortgage paid on by the rally was $4,500. Soon after this concert the park was converted, the course added to the building, and all other requirements of the Cyns Ordinance and Board of Fire Underwriters were complied with. All of the work done at a cost of nearly $1,500. Hope Day Nursery is controlled by a Board of Managers, consisting of thirty-five older women. Nearly one-half of the original Board of Managers are on the present Board. The object of the Nursery is to lesson the burden of the working mother by caring for their children during the day while they are out at work. A minimum age is made of ten cents a day (a child) for many years it was only four cent per day. During the war, with the High Cost of Living in international war, this charge of ten cents per day was not increased. Although many similar institutions throughout the city were compelled to increase their fee. Forten cents a day, the child receives two meals (including at least a pint of milk a day for each child), and is under care until the child leaves the Nursery before the child are received as earns a 7 clock in the morning, and may remain until 6 clock in the evening. The capacity of the Nursery, as present, is thirty the children within it, inadequate to the demand inside us. Our aim is to extend care with our children must be under the protection of the Nursery during the day. Dependla Upon Contributions Probably to mention the occasion of the birth of the Home Day Nursery, which will be upon the constitution of the Nursery, and the introduction of the Nursery to the Board of Nursery of whom receive any assistance therein.

It is also the right of the nursery officers of the Board of Nursery, the name of the nursery to be the name of the nursery and white have been perished to the present person in the work on the Nursery and constitute something to be done further. Since the marriage rally of December very interesting study of the lesson was held by the late Mr. Jocky in the efficient regard is presenting an elaborate matter as was introduced by some of the cards which the school has heard.

St. James Presbyterian Church and January, 1917 and 1918, many people seem to have labored under the impression that the Nursery has been placed upon a solid foundation and is now in a position to live on without further aid. THIS IDEA IS MOST ERROREOUS. Such a condition for the Nurse is sufficiently large endowment fund, could only be brought about by The Nursery has no such fund, though it has started the nucleus of one, $1000, from the mortgage rally, was deposited in the Broadway Savings Bank toward this endowment, to which smaller amounts have since been added. Last year, $1,000 left to the Nursery by a deposit of Mrs. Cornelia Williams, one of our philanthropic colored women was added to this fund. Welcome the day when this endowment fund grows substantially large enough to carry us. We must until that day arrives, continue to depend upon the efforts and support of the Board of Managers, and the contributions of friends, and of the charitable included. Chief Source of Income. Our annual May entertainment is the Nursery's chief source of income. The entire proceeds of this entertainment have always been used toward the Nursery's current expenses. The net receipts from the May Entertainment for 1919 were $178111, and for 1920, $15330. We hope to report a larger figure for this coming May. Even though the greatest company is exercised, it cost at least $300 a year to carry on the work of the Nursery. The board of Managers wish to take this opportunity to thank their numerous friends and well-wishers who have contributed, and continue to contribute toward the support of the Nursery. Among these, may be mentioned the Nursery's good friend, the Honorable Chay W. Anderson. The $100 received last Christmas, through the efforts of Mr. Anderson, who proved himself a most timely Santa Claus, was greatly appreciated. We wish also to thank the Utility Club, for its contribution last year of $90 and this year of $40. This Club has undertaken to pay the gas and contract bills for Hope Law Nursery. The two liberal contributions from the Utility Club is the best indication that this Club means to live up to its promise. During the last Fall, the Nursery was entirely renovated inside and out, and electrified in tiled, at a cost of $1,588.30. The building new presents a most wholesome and sanitary appearance. We would be pleased to take our friends and well-wishers call at any time, and inspect the Nursery. Attended is the treasurer's report for the year end date December 31, 1919.

Church On Thursday evening February 24th, the Ten Eyes Social Club which comprises a company of blind men, performed under the auspices of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of which Mrs. Nicholas is the president. Mr. King, who is the president of the Ten Eyes, introduced the company and stated they were called "Ten Eyes" because although they could not see, yet they ten fingers made them do almost as much as those who had eyes.

George Frazier Miller, rector, on the evening of Friday, February 25th, for the confirmation services conducted by Basil Frederick Burgess of the Long Island diocese. The bishop was greeted with the largest class in the history, of Rector Miller's career at St. Augustine, fifty-nine acylates taking the vows. Not only was the class distinctive because of its size, but it contained representatives of the best-known families in the City of Churches, and included also a practicing attorney, a pharmacist and a builder and contractor. St. Augustine Burgess, after the rites of confirmation were administered, spoke to the class from St. Matthew I. 43 and 44 verses, using as his theme "The Pearl of great price." The Rev. M. F. Duty assisted in the service and the vested choir sang appropriate music. The following persons composed the confirmation class: Charles Peter Aaron, Maxine Edna Battle, Vivian Cecilia Battle, Emile McKinley Beckman, James Anderson Bell, Mary Smith Bell, Julius Everton Branch, Leonard Elearor Branch, Violet Beatrice Branch, Frank Byrd Clark, Paul Coleman, Gwendolyn Ideia Deane, John Duncan Earle, Willah Augustus Fraser, Gladys Elmore Gale, Meta Gale, Rosetta Greenidge, Grace Adde Hodkinson, Alme Theodora Haynes, Hildreth FrancesHooker, Wickram Stichfield Holder, Alexander Huggins, Miladus Kennedy, Alfred Neville Lewis, Ursella Josephine Little, Mabel Leigh Morris Mann, Alma Elizabeth Martin, Alfred Abram Bulkley Miller, Marian Frances Montero, Lottie Adella Myers, Luther Myers, DeWitt Edward Oliver, Olga Peake, Samuel Augustus Pease, Isabella Thomas Edgar Davidson Pile, Raymond Howard George Jason Scott Pollard, Bertha Loria Johnson, Maud Louise Robinson, Maude Elizabeth Seaman, Yohannes Genevieve Sellers, Anna Eibrabeth Shaw, Jeant Louise Simon, John Thomas Simpson, Mabel Eibrabeth Smith, Mary Hydnith Tait, Mildred Alberta Tait, Eda Viola Taylor, Meta Millicent Taylor, James Thompson, Mary Chisholm Van Dusen, Mudge Hope Webster, and Harriet Unity Whiting. Fleet Street Church Brooklyn Dr. Jax, Edw. Mason, was the speaker at the morning service on last Sunday. His subject: "The death of the rich, an unpleasant man," was directed largely to the men. The pastor preached for the Rev. G. E. Wilson at Apollo at Bethel Church. Special services were conducted at the Sunday school hour the occasion being the promotion day exercise when about twenty of the primary and beginners were advanced to higher departments. At 7:45 the pastor preached the annual sermon to Alon Lodge, 2868, and Moab Household of Ruth, 5024 G. U. O. O. F. A very elaborate program was rendered prior to the sermon. An oration Y. P. N. F.

Miss Taylor preached from the text of Ezekiah's Glean of the valley of dry bones, called "Dr. Drys bones in the valley." The reopening of the club begins this week, all activity, having been suspended during the period of the revival among the Easter numbers will be the Easter vanity by the hour from Gehremane to Geghaia. Bethel Church Brethlug Sunday was a profitable day at Rethul spite of the pain. At the morning service the pastor delivered an interesting sermon from St. Mark 10, 22, 33. In the afternoon the communion sermon was delivered by Rev W. C. Brown of Fleet-Street A. M. E. Ziai Church from St. Luke 12, 29. The sermon was impressive and instructive.

The evening performance of Nothing But the Truth developed into a celebration over the revival of drama in which speaking was a feature. The theatre is especially decorated the entire week with flags and hunting both inside and out, lending a holiday appearance. The Hon. charles W. Anderson in a short, happy talk, introduced E. C. Brown, to whom he referred as written and keeps the audience roaring throughout. No play has been produced at the Lafayette theatre in recent years in which so much attention has been paid to detail. The stage settings are original in design, having been built especially for this production. The furniture and draperies are such as to aid materially in making the production finished one. After Monday evening's performance of "Nothing But the Truth," the opinion seemed to be unanimous that at the management continues to give such excellent presentations the drama will go over big at the latviette for some time to come. "A Voice in the Dark" Next Big Lafayette Attraction Players Guild Gives Creditable Presentation of 2 Original Playlets --- The evening performance of "Nothing. But the Truth" developed into a celebration over the revival of drama in which speaking was a feature. The theatre is especially decorated the entire week with flags and hunting both inside and out, lending a holiday appearance. The Hon. charles W. Anderson, in a short, happy talk, introduced K. C. Brown, to whom he referred as "the one man who has done more than any person the past two seasons to further the advancement of the Negro on the stage. Mr. Anderson urged his audience to play a big part in making the Las Vegas theatre the most patronized theatre in Harlem, to which consideration, he said, it is just entitled. Mr. Brown conjured up a frank heart to heart talk with the audience. He declared that the policy of presenting drama at the Eutayette theatre is strictly a business proposition, one which cannot not given the proper support, will become nothing but a memory of the past. To him, he said, it was inconceivable why the best known colored playhouse in the United States and located in a section popular by 150,000 No groes is not crowded at ever-performance. The executive head of the Quincy and Elite Amusement Corporation announced that the best and best dramatist offering would be produced at the Lafayette theatre and that no plan and expense would be spared to unite the production worthy of communication and which souled patternage. The audience from time to time heartily praised the sentiments expressed by the speaker. "Nothing but the Truth," a comedy in three acts, is cleverly Are you good at asking mysteries? Do you believe in your own natural evidence? A man is found dead amid indisposition a woman who is pregnant gave the law a girl is the total shot.

Two original one-act plays by race authors were presented, namely "Pitfalls of Appearances" by O. A. Woods and "The Niche" by Dora Cole Norman. Both were worthy of serious consideration. The same can be said about the work of the actors. There was a certain sustained interest in "The Niche" coupled with its engaging theme that made a particular appeal. The piece afforded Harold Simmelaekjaer, Mrs. Corrine McKaine and Miss Augusta Bird opportunities to favorably impress in their respective roles also Herbert Brown, Miss Anita Fernandez, Theodore Shackelford, Henry Rucker and Charles Buchanan. In the cast presenting "Pattails of Appearances" were some promising Thespian and included Miss Anita Fernandez, Miss Bessie Tomlinson, Frank H. Wilson and G. A. Woods, the author. Amateur performances of these kind suggest great possibilities and should be encouraged. It must not be forgotten they are given under conditions none too favorable, being handicapped by the proper scenery, lighting effects, and other important stage accessories. After the performance a financial contribution was made to the Circle for Negro Relief, and several short talks were made. Music was furnished by Miss Dorothy Hendackson, cello, Miss Hagel Thomas, piano and Miss Agnes Griffin, violin. The ushers were the Misses Dorothy Spraggins, Elizabeth Johnson, Edith Wisger, Bessie Adams, Amice Cotting, Loita Lynn, Dorothy Murray, Lottie Buchann, Lucille Bird and Olive Falbert.

She makes an ideal Gwendolyn Ralton, adding strength to the cast." He said not "Nothing but the Truth" has been chosen with care, as evidenced by the presence of several local favorites, among whom are William (Babe) Townsend, J. Francis Mores, Barrington Carter, Henry Plater, Elizabeth Waltiams, May Taylor, Labiella Jackson, and Lafayette Francee. Several box parties were gyno Wednesday evening.

If you want to experience the thrill of your career as a theatregoer this play will give it to you without a doubt. The pattern of the playhouse, even the most bless of patrons, really gets his or her environment out of a play by throwing some items into the spirit of the comedy and that they are witnessing.

In this picture Miss Pickford is seen, for the first time, in the role of a grown-up woman. The scene of the picture is laid in Italy, where the star has met and married a man who afterwards proved to be a spy tor an enemy country. A few weeks ago "The Love Light" was shown at the Capital Theatre, and was pronounced by critics of the leading dailies to be one of the best emotional dramas seen on the screen this season, and "The little sweetheart of the world" is at her last in this picture. Other pictures to be seen at this theatre during the week include Wm. De Mille's "Midsummer Madness," Charlie Chaplin in his latest picture, "The Kid"; and Faire Binney in "Madwoman and Men."

ATHLETIC NOTES By Herachel Day. Kewpie Midgets Defeat Y Midgets. In one of the fastest midget games this season the Kewpie Midgets defeated the Y Midgets by the overwhelming score of 28 to 8. The accurate shooting of Poindexter and the guard work of Brantley accounted for the Kewpie's victory. Y Eagles Overcome Kewpie Sparrows. With three of their regulars out of the line-up the Eagles defeated the Kewpie Sparrows, score 26 to 16. R. Mason starred for the Y boys while A. Hicks accounted for half of the Kewpie 16. Y Irs. Will Not Play Kewpie Arrows. On Thursday, February 24th, when Charles Higginbotham, captain of the Kewpie Arrows, called on Mr. Rhodes of the Y, M. C. A. in reference to booking a game, Mr. Rhodes admitted that they would not play any more "Champ teams" for fear of losing the Junior championship. The last time the Kewpie met the Y they showed how strong they were by playing the Y to a score of 19 to 25, the Y being victorious. Vandal Irs. Swamped The Atlantic City Reserves (Vandal Irs) were swamped last Saturday night by the 13th street branch of the Y Jra. The score ended 32-10. Major, the Y lanky center, put up the best game, he has played so far this year. He was all around the floor acting the part of the pivot of the team well. Garth and Nanton were never better at forward, while Rhodes (the varistate guard) and Monroe (the brun guard) would not let the Reserves gain. Eddie Corbin, the Y Jra, was put in the last two minutes. He Jesse A. Shipp, Jr., May Be First A. A. U. Colored Referee To Jesse A. Shipp, Jr. will probably fall the honor of being the first colored man to be granted a license by the Amateur Athletic Association of America to referee boxing contest under the rules and regulations of the A. A. U. This fact became apparent last Friday when Captain L. "T" Ney, adjutant of the 15th Infantry, N. Y. G., appeared before the executive committee of the A. A. U. and argued at length in behalf of the Harlem sporting man. Captain Mechan put forth a forceful argument and stated plainly that he was anxious to appoint Mr. Shipp as official referee of the big amateur boxing tournament which the 15th Infantry Athletic Association will be at their army on the nights of Match 22nd and 25th. A. this tournament will be only for refereed amateur boxers, Captain Mechan stated that this was only added evidence that a colored referee should be appointed to this important post. After listening attentively to Captain Mechan, the executive committee reserved decision in the matter, but privately it became known that the committee would grant Captain Mechan's request and appoint Mr. Shijp an official A. A. U. referee. This will mean that he will not alone be eligible to referee the 15th Infantry amateur hours, but will also be in a position to act as referee at any other boxing tournament held under the A. A. U., rules and regulations. JOHNNY JOHNSON IS AN INTERCOLLEGIATE STAR Johnny Johnson, who, for three years has been the star forward on the Columbia University, basketball team way he was in the game.

Hampton Turns Tables on the Howard Basketball Players Wins Championship After Close Game at Hampton on Washington's Birthday-- First Half Ended With Score at 9-9. LINCOLN THEATRE MARDI GRAS AND INAUGURAL BALL AT MANHATTAN CASINO ISSIN STREET AND EIGHTH AVENUE (BY CHARLES H. WILLIAMS) Hampton, Va., The Howard University basketball quintet, fresh from its victory over "the Seasiders" in Washington, journeyed to Hampton for the annual Washington's Birthday clash, confident of victory. Although they expected a great contest, Coach Morrison felt that his proteges would come out victorious. But Hampton would not be denied and so Howard went down in defeat. The annual Washington's birthday game is the basketball classic of the season, and the stars at the Lawnt Peninsula were out in force to cheer their favorites on to victory. It was not in the final moments of the game that great playing was done, as in the Washington game, but at the sound of the referee's whistle there began the hardest, fastest and one of the most closely contested struggles ever witnessed at Hampton. The defensive work of both teams was par excellent. Baskets were shot under the greatest difficulty. So closely were the teams matched that the first half ended with the score 9 to 9. Game Tied Three Times. With the beginning of the second half Howard came back with that wonderful spirit which she is known to possess, but on her every move. Hampton was there. The game was tied three times during the last half. The old spirit, however, that has made Hampton fam- FORTY CLUB DEFEATS THE ST. C. MACHINE FORTY CLUB DEFEATS THE ST. C. MACHINE By W. E.

A large number of intelligent and firm Negro farmers came to Tuskegee institute specifically to attend the unknown workers' conference, which held as much vitality as it had three years ago and a great deal more experience in program. Negro farmers have suddenly dropped from property, with its opportunity to lay hold on horses, horses and mules, to get to mention automobiles—and farm equipment in hiding cattle and hogs, to hard times, with over-shadowing debts to landers and bankers. They vividly remember the dark days of a few years when cotton was selling at six cents a pound, at a market could be found, and when all the droughts, and boil weevil attacks came like overwhelming scourges on large Southern areas. Nine members of the progressive type are now leading hopefully to rural life workers to help them and their neighbors woke of whom are on the verge of vacation to find a way out. These farmers, even when facing a world of adversity except that of heavy financial liabilities are living with confidence to Tuskegee Institute and especially to Pineal K. R. Motton for immediate reparation and wise counsel in troubles. Saving the Children. Franklin O. Nichols, of the American Social Hygiene Association, in his address on general health and sanitation made a plea for "the removal of the ration doctor, conjurer, and prophet" and the education of boys and girls in society. Let R. Myers be secretary of the National Child Welfare Association, board educational art panels—lithographed and hand colored—on Prenatal Care Care of Babies, Hygiene for School Children, Character Forming, Leadership and Religion, which have been designed to meet the needs of child-care workers. The education of the Newborn and Secretary Myers, "has been too much in terms of white people. All through school life he is in his textbooks much about people and little or nothing about inexperience. All the pictures, he sees are white people. Most of the books he reads are by white authors, and his books and hermes are white. If he pays to a moving picture show, the same is true. If a Negro appears on the screen he is usually a caricature or a sket. The result is that all the Negro children all his sense of the good and the beautiful is drawn almost entirely with white white people can be readily imagined. He does not false impression that the Negro has little chance to be good, great material, beautiful. The new material of the National Child Welfare Association will help to correct this imprecision, for Negro boys and girls will be illustrated in terms of their own experience. The Center for Negro Relief, whose headquarters are in New York and which is to raise the health standard of people by supplying caredied health nurses, by developing community health centers, and by providing emergency relief, is an important organization that is de- sired to the task of reducing the wast- age of human life. Executive Secretary Belz Davis, re- sponsed by the health needs of Negroes, also described the operative methods which the Circle has employed to carry out its program. The center describes serious considera- tions that are some $500,000 Negro- es to take all the time, in the Southern account of Negro workers is over $294,000,000. Whilst there $187,000,000 might be saved annually through sanitary improvement and health education. The New Rural Church. A presiding elder of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Rev. William Jones of Montgomery, Ala., outlined, with clearness and force and language which everybody could easily understand, the progressive work of his church, through the aid of the great Centenary fund, in developing a program for the fitting the local churches into the life of their respective communities. Rev. Jones presides over forty-five churches in eight counties and deals directly with eighteen pastors, "Churches," he said, "are now encouraging men to preach a gospel that will save people now. Churches are planning for near-by parks and playgrounds, instead of cemeteries, for reading-room, for domestic science kitchens, and for modern Sunday-school programs. Churches are asking pastors to give their entire time to single congregations. Pressure is being put on pastors to have them do social work in their several churches." W.T.B. Williams of Tuskegee institute, a field director of the Jeanes Board, pointed out the following estimated teacher shortages: Alabama, 5,104; Georgia, 5,960; and Mississippi, 3,676. "On November 18, 1920," he said, "the Alabama State Department of Education reported that twenty Negro schools in Montgomery County were not open on account of the lack of teachers. There are only seventy Negro schools in this county, whose Negro population is in fact that in other Black Belt counties. All the white schools in the county were reported as having their share of teachers and as progressing splendidly. The pay of Negro teachers is scarcely half that of the white teachers. Rural-Life Program. Benjamin F. Hubert, director of the Tuskegee Agricultural Department offered the farmers and worker the following country life program: "Give boys and girls a share in the farm business; educate children as though they were expecting to live in the country; have a good time; teach people how to play; keep an uplifting community program always before the people; dress well, even though you do live in the country; let all groups get together and organise a country-life commission to study the needs of Negro life." Following the Conference, a group of men and women, who are deeply interested in the improvement of Negro rural life, adopted the following resolution: "It is the sense of this meeting that there be organized some sort of country-life committee whose purpose will be to discover the causes of discontent in rural life and to offer such a program and remedy as will make people on the farm as prosperous, happy and well protected as people in the most prosperous, happy and well protected city community in the world. The following committee will continue the study of Negro country life and will enlist the co-operation of other rural workers and students of country-life problems; Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Monroe N. Work, editor of the "Negro Year Book"; John Hope president of Murehouse College, Atlanta, Ga.; Harry Simms, Tuskegee Institute, local district agent of the State's Relation Service; Benjamin F. Hubert (chairman), director of Tuskegee Agricultural Department; D. A. Williston of Tuskegee Institute; and Wm. Anthony Aery of Hampton Institute. White leaders, North as well as South, are coming to see that there is no real THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1921 conflict, between the best interests of white and colored citizens. Dr. A. J. Dickinson of Birmingham, who represented Dr. S. W. Welch of the Alabama State Board of Health for example, expressed the appreciation of white citizens for the cooperation which Alabama Negroes have uniformly given in fighting disease. "We must all have good health or nobody will have good health," he said. "We must all help to curtail mortality, especially infant mortality. Most people do not appreciate the relation of a goof cow to child conservation. One tenth of our money loss from illness would have eliminated illness. We face the problem of saving manhood and conserving social conditions. "There is more typhoid in Alabama than there is in New York, although New York has six times as many people. The difference in favor of New York is due to the greater co-operation of its citizens with the public-health authorities. Our health agencies must reach the back yards, for there the children play, the victuals and milk are kept, the cows add pigs live, and there the toilors are found." Compulsory Education in the South. The relation of compulsory education in the South to the Negro child, including the indifference on the part of parents, the insufficiency of school facilities, and the labor of children in farm operations, was discussed by white and colored leaders who have the one big common interest of securing for the South a better citizenry. J. C. Laubert of the Alabama State Department of Education, who is state supervisor of the colored schools, stated that last year 1778 Negro schools reported and that 108 of this number were taught in buildings other than regular school houses; that is, disqualified homes or churches. For some sections "a waved-back building, eighteen by twenty feet, in which 100 Negro children have been enrolled" has been typical. "The dearth of teachers," he declared, "has been acting against the enforcement of the Alabama compulsory education law. Sentiment among white people of Alabama for the education of Negroes is on the increase. Everybody must push for the building of better school houses." One of the Alabama county superintendents of schools, W.R. Bennet, said "White people, believe that Negroes should have better education. In my county there are twenty first-class Negro school buildings (seventeen of which are Rosenwald schools) out of a total of thirty-five buildings. We all need the need of securing well-educated teachers and of teaching Negro tenants crop diversification. A great educational awakening is coming." That "recruitment is the refreshment of the spirits and body after toll" is coming to be recognized as having importance in educational as well as in industrial work. Dr. William Burdick, supervisor of physical education for the State of Maryland and director of the Public Athletic League of Baltimore, defined athletics as "the vigorous social fighting plays of youth" and showed the relation of play to the preparation of boys and girls, men and women, for future life and work. "Today no school in Maryland is standard, unless it has three pieces of play apparatus." The sympathetic words and helpful suggestions of the white speakers were received by the Conference members with enthusiasm. Spirit of Christian Good Will. In bringing the Tuskegee Conference to a close Dr. Morton said, "I am not especially worried about Negroes who are attending colleges and universities or Tuskegee and Hampton, but I am vastly concerned about the large numbers of Negroes who are not in any school and who are not receiving even an elementary education. At your hands have we at Tuskegee received sound, frank, wise counsel. May the Kingdom of God come in all our hearts" Dr. Moton invited Dr. James E. Grege, principal of Hampton Institute, to say the final word. "People in increasing numbers," said Dr. Grege, "are thinking about what they have in common. A short definition of civilization would include the idea humane people together in sympathy, mutual courtesy, respect, friendliness. In community, efforts people are discovering how to be Christian neighbors." Minnesota Lands THIS IS YOUR BEST CHANCE FREE use of a 5 acre farm for two years, on a down payment of $50.

More Than Thousand Farmers Hear Prof. Carver of Tuskegee Tell of Utility Developments of Potato and Peanut. (BY MISS S. LILLIAN BROWN) Denmark, S. C. - The Farmers and Workers Conference which is held annually at the Voorheem Normal and Industrial School, Denmark, S. C. con- vened February 16th and 17, 1921. When the meeting was opened Wednesday, there was present a large number of farmers and farmer's wives, with some other classes of people, representing Bamberg, Orangeburg, Aiken, Alkendale, Barnwell and other counties. Others continued to come until the chapel was full to overflowing. Several hundred were present. Principal E. R. Roberts extended a cordial welcome to all in his usual pleasing and convincing manner. After which E. D. Jenkins, U.S. collaborator, acting as master of ceremonies, began the regular program. The meeting at this time took the form of a real "experience meeting," the various farmers being called upon to tell of their successes in purchasing land, building homes, and growing profitable crops. Many interesting and helpful thoughts were advanced showing that the farmers of this section are making real, substantial progress. Cotton Growing Discussed. Cotton growing was freely discussed by a number of farmers. Other important points, as to how cotton can be best grown under boll weevil conditions, were set forth. Most of those who spoke advocated that all of the fertilizer to be used on the cotton be padded at one time before the cotton is planted and that less fertilizer be used than heretofore, so as not to make too many weeds and that a quick mat string variety of cotton be grown. Some also stated that the cotton be planted in light soil. Corn cultivation was also helpfully discussed, ideas being freely exchanged for mutual benefit. The general discussions were closed by Master of Ceremonies E. D. Jenkins, who is doing so much to help the farmers in this district, being a U. S. demonstrator and one is putting himself entirely into his work for the benefit of those whom he serves. Mr. Jenkins gave some valuable and practical pointers particularly emphasizing diversified farming, the growing of grains, wheat, cats etc. The importance of family, cow, poultry and the like. He also urged the forming of pig clubs andanning clubs in every community. J. D. Carlton, who is in charge of the truck gardening department at Vourhey designed a very interesting and practical address on the home garden, showing what a valuable asset the garden is to every home. He presented a calendar, showing what work in the garden should be done in each of the twelve months of the year. This calendar will soon be printed and distributed for the bench of all gardeners. Mr. Carlton is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and he is applying his knowledge of vegetable growing in a very practical and profitable way. One look around institutions' truck farm is enough to convince you that a master brain and a master hand is directing this work. "The Wizard of Tuskegee." At the hour for the principal speech of the day, the large audience became more attentive than ever, knowing as they did that every word the speaker should utter be of too much value to be missed. In presenting Prof. G.W. Carver as the speaker of the hour, Principal Robert spoke pointedly of the enormous service that this remarkable man is rendering to his race and country. He styled, Prof. Carver as the Moses of his race, stating that he has repeatedly refused offers of high salaried positions in large manufacturing plants, preferring rather to remain at Tuskegee and continue to give to his own people the benefit of his vast knowledge and wonderful research work. Dr. Roberts also told of Prof. Carver's recent appearance before the Ways, and Means Committee of the national government when by special request he demonstrated his "Peanut Exhibit." Beyond the shadow of a doubt, Prof. Carver is one of the world's greatest scientists. He stands in a class by himself as a deep thinker and as a producer of practical useful articles of various descriptions, making use of the very water that is ordinarily thrown away. Prof. Carver announced that he had six texts, among which were, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," and "Do to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise." He analyzed and explained each drawing from them vital lessons which he presented to the audience very effectively. Every one was wonderfully helped and inspired by this mastery, forceful address and the display of the numerous products that have been made from the peanut by this genius was interesting in the extreme. The exhibit contained several varieties of breakfast foods, milks, stocks for animals, weal, confections, face creams, ink, dyes, oils, etc. The address was an eye opener to all and the great possibilities that he hidden within the peanut and the sweet potato were made visible to the audience through the analysis and demonstration made by the speaker. Already 108 different products have been produced from the sweet potato by Prof. Carver, with others yet to follow; and while he has just begun with the peanut, fifty or more articles have already been produced from it and there are many others to follow. Tendered Vote of Thanks A vote of thanks was tendered the noted speaker upon the motion of Rev. H. Matthews. After which encouraging helpful-remarks were made by Rev. O. J. Friar, J. A. Goolly and Capt. Jas. Guess, (white). A number of white friends were present and enjoyed the occasion very much. At the conclusion of the program, the large number of conference attendants were entertained at dinner as the guest of the institution. A tempting, wholesome, beautiful feast was served to the delight of all present. Among the farmers who took active part in the discussions were Mrs. Wiley Clifton, Denmark; G. W. Grimes, Bamberg; R. W. Worton, Denmark; J. M. Odum, Blackville; Stephens, Bemberg; Carter, Bramhallville. These are all land owners and successful farmers. They gave helpful talks on the cultivation of cotton and popcorn. Some of the participants who presented were: Rev. B. M. B. Bison, S. G. Killingsworth, Cottonmouth, Rev. and Mrs. Cox. The special speaker for the afternoon session was Proof, B. F. Cox, principal at Avery Normal Institute, Charleston, S. C. Prof. Cox is a graduate of the college department of Fisk University, and is an educator of twenty-four successful years' experience. He has rendered the valuable service to his people wherever he has labored; and his work at Avery is enough to place him in the front rank as a teacher and school principal. Prof. Cox spoke out of the fullness of his heart, while the large audience gave rapt attention. He used as a basis for his argument "The Fundamental Things of Life." The speaker delivered an address that was filled with food for thought. He dealt largely upon the health problem and used a number of interesting charts to point out and emphasize the things he said. He implored the teachers, ministers and parents to use their efforts to build up a strong, healthy intelligent race for the future, by giving proper care and training to the boys and girls of today. The entire address contained valuable truths that are going to help wonderfully in the spiritual and material salvation of our people. At this time, by special request of friends who could not be present Wednesday, Prof. Carver repeated his address and demonstration, which was gladly received by all. Ex-Sepator S. G. Mayfield, who was present with Mrs. Mayfield and other white friends, made a short encouraging address. He soke in the highest terms of the address of Professors Cox and Carver, saying that he had traveled extensively and had heard many addresses, but had never heard anything anywhere along the same line to equal Prof. Carver's address on this occasion. Mr. Mayfield is one of tried and true friends of the Nearro race. He has been interested in Voorbees from its beginning, having been largely instrumental in making it possible for the founder to obtain the land where the school is located. He is still a trustee of the school, Rev. H. H. Mathews of Bamberg, one of the good friends of Voorbees, made the closing talk of the afternoon session. His remarks were helpful. Members of the faculty, the student body and a number of friends, assembled in the chapel for the final meeting, Thursday evening. After devotions chaplain Jones presented Miss S. L. Bacon, who made a short talk, Prof. Cox was again presented, speaking especially to students, giving them a plain, straight-forward heart to heart talk, which will no doubt prove very beneficial to them in the days to come. The Voorhees Farmers' and Workers' Conference for 1921 has passed into history; but its good effects are just beginning and it will be many day, before all of the good fruits from this meeting will be gathered. Farmers, teachers, ministers, home makers, welfare workers and others have gone away from the meeting instructed how to do more and better work and inspired to do it. Thus the leaven which was put to work at the conference session will go on leaving the lump throughout the year. Too much cannot be said in praise for Dr. E. R. Roberts, the efficient principal. Mrs. Roberts is the ideal, minister's wife, and as a home maker she has few equals. Dr. Roberts is proving to be the right man in the right place as principal of Voorhees. He is supported by a strong corps of teachers and workers, all of whom seem deeply filled with the "Voorhees Spirit"—the spirit of love and service to others. this life boat CK was pole of hiddenly, swing- down not the chance, had sup- nt in the and the rescue ing is true. sweet-Orr the Sweet- th.

The friends, song with the faculty and students, were the recipients of a worthwhile treat of a high order at the evening meeting. After a spiritual and inspiring devotional service, conducted by Rev. T. L. Jones, the chaplain, Mrs. DuBois (white) of Philadelphia, was presented who made some very helpful remarks in which she set fort that love is the key that must be used to unlock the doors that are closed against us. She then charmed and delighted all by reciting "A German version of Barbary Fritchie" and "So was I." In the role of a reciter, Mrs. DuBois is superb. She is deeply interested in the education and uplift of our people and is spending some time in the South studying conditions. Prof. B. F. Cox of Charleston made a very practical talk on "Safeguarding our health in the Rural Districts." He especially pointed out two of our most deadly enemies the mosquito and the house fly. He showed how these disease carriers can be gotten rid of in any home or community: Prof. Carver also spoke on this occasion and as usual, delivered a message filled with wholesome mental food. He stressed the point that when one can really do something worth while, color will not prevent the success of such a one; and urged the young people to get ready to enter the many doors of opportunity that are now being opened to them, by properly preparing themselves for life's work. Encouraging remarks were made by Prof. Powell, principal of Allentale public school, and Prof. Beaufort of Schofield School, two of the young men who are helping to prepare our com- who are helping to prepare our country and our coming leaders for service. A special feature at each of the meetings was the excellent singing by the student body. They sang both melodies and hymns very heartily. The splendid exhibit of farm and garden produce attracted the attention of all visitors. From the truck farm of the school was exhibited a quantity of the largest turnips we have ever seen also a number of other vegetables. Mr. Jeukins, Mr. Carlton, and all concerned deserve much credit for the huge success of the 1921 session of the Voorhees Farmers' Conference. The Workers' Conference. At 11 o'clock, Thursday morning the session of the Workers' Conference was opened by Rev. T. L. Jones, who made some inspiring remarks on the topic, "The cause and cure of Present Day Restlessness among our People." The Rev. A. G. Townsend, a prominent minister of the M. E. Church, discussed the subject at some length setting forth the causes and cures. Dr. Roberts, Principal That untiring and realous worker, Treasurer M. A. Menafea, is still the queen that turns the mechanism of the institution as the right steward and in the right direction. He is wisdom seen heard in public, but the observer can readily see that Mr. Menafea is rendering inestimable service in his capacity as treasurer and general, supervisor of the school. Largely through his efforts have these conferences been made possible from year to year. Dr. T. L. Jones, chapplain and head teacher, M. McGuinn, dean of workfice Mrs. Crooby, head nurse; Capt. and Mrs. Faddyfote, M. and Mrs. Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Unthank, Mr. and Mrs. Reed, M. Myers, Misses Garrill, Gillesin, Cooper, Pickett, Coleman, Rivers, Smith, Lee, Wilson, Arnette, Falls, Mrs. Munday; Measures Snyder, Ladson, Brooks and Edmondson are all cooperating to make Vourches a better school day by day. PRINCETON, N. I. Princeton, N. J.—The evangelical services of the Witersham Presbyterian Church, A. E. Bennett, pastor, closed Friday evening after two successful weeks. These services were conducted by Dr. Charles Freeman of the First Presbyterian of Philadelphia. Thirty accessions were made to the church. The entire community showed interest and the church was filled to its capacity each night. Rev. Bennett acknowledges that the church is planning to make some extensive renovations in the early Spring and old Witersham will give the appearance of a new building when completed. The physical Culture Club was defended by the Royal Athletic Club of New Ranwick Saturday evening in the Nathan Hale School gymnasium by a score of 16-5. The game was interesting from beginning to end; Captain Taylor scored the only field goal for Princeton. The Reyals were heavier than P. C. C. boys and considerably older. The forty-first State convention of the Y. M. C. A. of New Jersey was held in Atlantic City. It was largely attended and Princeton was represented by its local general secretary, H. H. Cain. Among the speakers of the convention were United States Senators Walter E. Edge and E. Spencer of Missouri who made the keynote speech on "Some Big Things," and ex-governor of 'New Jersey, Mr. Runyon. Harry Wells of Burlington County succeeded Alva Ague of Princeton as president of the State Association. The convention was held in Haddon Hall. Peter Brownley, who was very ill, is slowly recovering. The Y. M. C. A. basketball team having recovered from its defeat by Alpha Big Five turned out, Wednesday evening for a short snappy practice and showed great improvement for the closing games with the New Brunswick A. C. and the Bordentown Industrial School. Robert R. Buggs, formerly of Brunswick, Ga. was quietly married to Miss Gertrude Briscoe of this Borough last Friday; evening by the Rev. A. E. Bennett. They have a large circle of friends who wish them much happiness and success in their new life. The Princeton branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held an executive meeting in the Y. M. C. A.
