A. had been invited to meet in a joint conference with the City Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A., at its offices in the Putnam Building, 2 West 45th street, on Tuesday afternoon, March 1st, at 4 p. m. While no particular object was specified in the invitation, it became generally noised about that the conference was called because of the action taken by the 135th street branch board in deciding that the present executive secretary, Thomas E. Taylor, should be asked to tender his resignation from that position, the resignation to take effect on May 1st, 1921. The action of the local board of management was taken on Friday afternoon, February 18th, in a meeting attended by the full board of eighteen members, lacking two, which meeting lasted from 4 to 7:30 p. m., during which time the matter of certain personal relations of the secretary, coupled with alleged indiscreet actions, formed the subject of intense and earnest discussion and consideration. At that time the board decided by a vote of eight to seven that the reputed allegations were inimical to the secretary's influence with the membership of the organization and the request for his resignation was made.

With President Harding and Secretary State Hughes now holding the reef of governmental control, President King is powerful that the protracted negotiations will now be brought to an early and are mutually satisfactory conclusion. The loan is to be used for the purpose of putting into immediate operations a program of industrial development, desired by the government and the people of the republic," said President King. "One of our principal aims is to open up the interior of the country, which is rich in natural resources. Other improvements are projected, such as the construction of motor roads and railways, telephone and telegraphic facilities and industrial schools."

Publications in two local papers, in defense of Secretary Taylor, seemed to give a semblance of truth to those rumors, and caused the City Board's institution to the board, of management of the West 135th street branch to be looked upon more as a command than as a request. Conference with City Board. The meeting at City Board headquarters on Tuesday, March 4th, was attended by fifteen of the eighting members, the absent one being Dr. Charles H. Roberts and Dr. Benjamin T. Wylie, who have recently endorsed their resignations as members of the board, which resignation have not been acted upon, and the Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother A.

Dr. Brooks acted as spokesman for the local board, it is said, and gave an accounting to the City Board as to the action taken in regard to the executive secretary of the 135th street branch. No newspaper representative was present, although it had been removed that editors of certain papers which had published editorials and news stories on the "Y" situation would be invited. The editor of Taz Ace did not receive any invitation. From a trustworthy source, information received by an Ace reporter is that: first there seemed to be an institution on part of members of the City Board to put the local board on the defensive by requiring statements as to the evidence of actual and tangible wrongdoing on part of Secretary Taylor. It was brought out from statements by Dr. Brooks and others, according to reports, that while evidences of actual wrong-doing might not have been available that there was sufficient individual and situating action implemented by the secretary to justify the local board in asking for his resignation. Gladness Proof of Claim By third examination, refuting the claim of individual action, the local board in asking for his resignation. 48-ROOM SCHOOL BUILDING FOR HARLEM CHARLES D. B. KING VOCATIONAL TRAINING Col. Arthur Little, commanding the 15th regiment, N. Y. G., was seen recently by an Age reporter and questioned concerning the number of members of the Old 15th, veterans of the World War, who had applied for vocational treatment and other relief afforded by the government. This help is supplied free of charge and in order to facilitate interest of the veterans entitled to it Lieut. Colonel George F. Hinton, morale officer of the 15th, has been given desk room at the War Risk Office, 25 West 43rd street, where he is in attendance from 1 to 2 o'clock on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons of each week to give advice and assist in preparation of the various claims. Col. Little replied to the question by saying that men were exhibiting little interest in the matter. The announcement was made two weeks ago, but only one or two men entitled to the relief had applied for help. The service rendered by Lieut. Col. Hinton is absolutely without cost and he is giving his time and service to the regiment, even executing notarial papers without charge. The government is supplying compensation, vocational training with pay, insurance, medical treatment, etc., and the veterans who are entitled to it should see Lieut. Col. Hinton concerning it. DISCUSSING PROGRAM POR BUSINESS LEAGUE Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Reuben Black, president of the Standard Loan and Security Company, and Charles A. Shaw, assistant secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company, both of Atlanta, Georgia, were visitors at the Institute. They came as representatives of the Atlanta Loci Legal Group, Dr. R.R.

Dr. Moton, after the interview, expressed himself as being blightly pleased with the outlook for the Atlanta meeting. A campaign will be launched immediately to invite colored people in all parts of the country to prepare to send exhibits to Atlanta, details of which will be made in a later announcement.

Lenox avenue still maintains the name of being, the most popular street in the Negro section of Madison, but the increase of Negro business on Lenox avenue since 1916 has not been as rapid as it has been on some of the other streets in this district. In 1916 the Negro section of Lenox avenue extended from 191st street to 140th street, in which there were 145 places of business, 23 per cent of these places were owned and operated by Negroes. The present Negro section of Lenox avenue begins near 129th street and goes to 145th street. In this area there are now 348 places of business of which number 90 or about 25 per cent. are now being conducted by Negroes.

He said that the principal witnesses in the hearing before a justice of the peace were some parties who have opposed me here and have followed up the National Negro Believers League to have the displeasure. These people were accused by personal animosity only as those parties could in many ways have suffered in the settlement. "Any conventure with the Mound Bayou institution will at once understand what is behind it when they are informed is that the chief witness and officer is the stage opponent of several years' standing and is not even a member of the church under whose gospels the school is operated," was Mr. Banka closing statement.

Discuss Extension of "Y" Work In South Among Negro Women Louisville, Ky-Probably the largest inter-racial conference among the colored and white women in the South was held by the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association at Louisville, Kentucky, February 15-17, 1921, representing the southern section of the country. The purpose of the conference was for the better understanding of the groups concerned and discussion of the possibility of further extending the Young Women's Christian Association in the Southland among colored women. There were sixty-three in attendance, thirty three of whom were colored and thirty white women. A letter from Mr. Courey to the editor of Taz Acres gives information to the effect that the building program of the Board of Education carried a recommendation that a school be erected in the neighborhood suggested in his report. There is no information obtainable; as to just when this building program will be started, but it is a decided gain to have the approval and recommendation of the Board of Education, as this proposal was selected for preference out of a mass of proposals made from all parts of the city. Mr. Controy's report to Dr. O'Shun was as follows: "Recommendation is respectfully made for the erection of a new, school building in District 16, to retrieve the increasing crowded condition of Public Schools 5, 119, 89, 90 and 66, as well as to meet the peculiar needs of *t* is neighborhood.

This block is present almost entirely vacant, only a few old hippos of little value, being on the land, reducing the cost of the side. The block is located in the middle of the combined enclosure, thus being especially suitable for the proposed school and near the location of the pupils who would attend the school. Playground Recommended. "As the population of the district about the like indicated is constantly increasing, giving promise of becoming one of the most congested in the city, it is also recommended that the entire block be purchased so that the space not used as a public park and may afford a playground for the children of the neighborhood, who have at present no play space but the street. *In justice to the youngsters now and Discuss Extension In South Among (Special to THE Louisville, Ky—Probably the largest and white women in the South was a Woman's Christian Association at Louis representing the southern section of the was for the better understanding of the possibility of further extending the Young Southland among colored women.

MATTHEWS, Secretary; HUBERT GIVES ADVICE TO THE NEGRO FARMERS Tukerkee Institute, Ala., Benjamin F. Huggett, superintendent of agriculture at Tukerkee Institute, has issued a "A Word to the Negro Farmers," in which he gives them advice concerning the present unfavorable conditions in the agricultural world. He tells them that "This is no time to become dependent if you have lost in the farming game do not be disheartened or ashamed to start again in a new way-and if necessary, on a smaller scale." Mr. Hubert writes as follows: "We are constantly receiving inquiries from farmers in all sections of the country for suggestions as to how they should farm and manage their affairs so they will be able to meet the new conditions of to-day. the farmer has lost money and is in debt. This condition of attains has not been due to anything that the farmer has done himself or that he has not done, but to certain economic reactions that have followed the conditions that prevailed during and immediately after the World War. The farmer of the South was not been the only one to suffer. The corn farmer of the Middle West, the wheat grower of the Northwest, the wool growers of the far-West, and the cattle maisters have all felt the pinch of low prices and produced a high skilled labor and capital. The wholesale merchant has not been able to sell in the retail merchant, and in turn has received orders from customers. so we can feel that although we were hit, and probably the hardest hit all classes we were not the only class that has suffered. What We Should Do. 1. Plant a small acreage of cotton. There is already enough cotton in the world to supply the world's needs for another year. Farmers have cotton planted in warehouses and at their homes. Cut down the cotton crop to a minimum of six or seven acres to plow. Fertilize this well, work it fast, so that it will pay you well. 2. Plant lots of corn, velvet beans, sow peas, podgumn, sugar cane, peanuts, etc., sufficient for your own use, and for the livestock that you have, and have some to sell. When you have enough to eat, things may break against you, but you are safe: 3. Get at least one cow for each plow. Feed this cow well—she will help take care of the family. 4. Two brood sows for each plow will use all the refuse from the farm and turn all surplus crops into marketable products. 5. Keep plenty of chickens. They do not cost much, but always provide a most nutritious food for the table. There is hardly ever a time that you cannot find a sale for chickens and eggs. Fifty to one hundred hens on a farm will always pay in dollars and coins, and will furnish ready money. Don't Sell Your Farm. "6. Start a small orchard, now, so that you can have fruit for home use and for sale. "7. By all means have an all-the year around garden this year—nothing ever pays better. "8. Farm accounts. This year there should be nothing done without a record kept of the same. We are beginning a new way farming, and we know when we succeed with a crop unless we have some record of what it has cost us to grow this crop. "Farmers should not sell their land. We should hold to every acre of land we have. There will be provided some way for the man who wants to stay, and continue in possession of his farm. Farm land is becoming cheap. Every man who has opportunity and some money should plan to invest in a farm when the prices of land goes down. "Get together with your neighbors and buy what you need, and sell your surplus crops. Get together for better schools, better houses, and a more wholesome social life." Celebrate 39th Anniversary. Greensboro, N.C.-President and Mrs. Jas. B. Dudley were surprised by the faculty of A and T. College, Greensboro, N.C. on the 30th anniversary of their wedding.

The membership had passed the four hundred mark; girls clubs were enthusiastically at work; sewing millinery and dancing classes had told the story of efficient instruction to the citizens. Two student secretary training classes had been sent to the House of Friendless for instruction and observation and through those who attended the success of the Jersey City-work had been heralded abroad. The work was reorganized and made a regular branch of the Jersey City Young Women's Christian Association. Mrs. Geo. E. Cannon was appointed president of the committee of management. Mrs. E. S.

Smith is executive secretary and Miss G. E. Sears, girl's work secretary. First Emanuel Church Pastor Bolden filled his pulpit as both services last Sunday, speaking at the morning hour on "The Powers" talem from "The Lord's Prayer." This sermon concluded the series that Pastor Bolden has been preaching for the last two months and was intensely interesting and instructive. The church was crowded, and the entire service made a deep impression. One person joined the church. The choir rendered the anthem, "There is a safe and sacred place," Juliet soloist. Rev. Thornton of Philadelphia, was present and assisted Rev. Hogans in the services. Sumner school was largely attended. Hopkins school exercised the exercises, also the review of the lesson after which the school rehearsed the Easter carols. A splendid report was read by the secretary. The members of the Bailal Association opened their meeting at 3:30 p.m. Misa Van Blucum preading. After the devotional exercises, a reading was given by Mrs. Van Bergem. Remarks were made by Mrs. Copeland, Mrs. Washington and Prof. Parchment. Closing remarks by Pastor Bolden. A very pleasing program was rendered at the meeting of the Literary Society at 4:30 p.m. Mrs. Chandler and Misa B. Parker conducted the devotional exercises, after which Mrs. Prattie presented the following members: Solo Misa Helen Strain; address Prof. Powell of Alabama remarks by Pastor Bolden. At the 8 o'clock service Pastor Bolden preached from St. Luke 2:40. Subject "God consciousness makes business ethical." He emphasized that every body should study to have some constructive thing to engage their minds. The discourse was so pregnant with thought that it thrilled both colored and white. Several visitors were present and excellent music was rendered by the choir. Revs. Smith, Hogans and Edwards assisted in the services. $6 was presented to the truestees by Mrs. Elliott from the dinner served during the day and 9:15 by Mrs. Pratts from the Literary Society. Sunday morning, March 13th, Pastor Bolden, will begin another, series of sermons from the "Apostles Creed." And at, night the societies of the church will make their quarterly reports. On last Thursday night the members and friends of the Rambow Circle litened to a splendid program and enjoyed an interesting ingesting. Several speakers gave interesting talks. Mrs. Bertha Funk of the International Garment workers, spoke eloquently about union of needle workers. Also an address by Mr. Feldman on "The economic question."

Nassau Church : Brooklyn Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor filled his pulpit at both services last Sunday, speaking at the morning hour on "Land us not into Temptation"; and at the evening hour he gave his impressions of the inaugural ceremonies, which he attended. At the close of his address Thaddeus Strachan submitted a letter to be sent to President Harding, which was adopted unanimously by the audience. The opening of the Nazarene Congress at 6:30 o'clock was a notable event, brooklyn church life. The opening address made by C. F. Craig the "Morning of the Holy Mail." In this remarkable address he urged the young people to take advantage of the many opportunities for higher culture in the metropolis. His strong appeal struck a responsive chord. The Congress will meet every Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock. The main attraction this Sunday will be Mrs. A. E. Cook, the well-known colored posters from Newark, N. J., who will read from her own works. In addition there will be a Will "Y" City Board Overrule Local Body? talks again against Mr. Taylor, and a lawyer was read from John M. Keyman, counselor of the Comptroller of Public Accounts for the Department, which published that his pledge and proof submitted the charges until it had published. It was understood that Mr. Taylor intends uttering a against certain New York papers for libel as a means of clearing himself but so far nothing tangible has developed, it is said. One of the interesting features of the conference was the appearance before it of Dr. Ward of Indianapolis, Ind., Mr. Tayler's former home. Dr. Ward came as a character witness for Mr. Tayler, and gave some account of the latter's work in Indianapolis as a Y. M. C. A. Securiy. He entered rather fully into Taylor's private life in that city, incidentally saying that worries of a domestic nature had driven Taylor, on the point that only his. Ward's arrival at the Y. M. C. A. building on a certain occasion saved Taylor from committing suicide. Dr. Ward is allowed to have said also that because Mr. Taylor's usefulness as a "Y. C. securiy in Indianapolis was at an end that friends advised his acceptance of the New York position. One of the members of the local board interrupted Dr. Ward at this point and asked "well, why did you wish him on us here in New York?" Dr. Ward's reply to this is not given. A member of the City Board, acting as its official spokesman, let it be thoroughly understood that action of the local board were subject to revision or rejection as well as approval. He declared, that the City Board, because of its title in the Hartman "T" property, protected its interests by reserving to itself the final decision on all matters coming up, from the local boards, and cited instances where even executive secretaries had been sent back to local branches which had refused their services. World Disrupt Local This brought, forth the declaration from Dr. Brooks that such treatment accorded to this local board in this particular case would mean the disruption of the *Harlem YY*, insofar as the support, and influence of some of the largest churches in the city and their pastors were concerned. However, to show their willingness to adjust this unfortunate affair, it is reported that Dr. Brooks declared if Mr. Taylor would give up the indirect association with his private secretary which forms the foundation on which action was taken, the local board would be willing to withdraw its action. This concession, it is stated, was not authorised by the loft musical and literary program. The house was almost filled last Sunday evening and a record breaking crowd is expected this Sunday evening. The members of the president's cabinet will be sworn in at that time. Sol. J. Platjez, from South Africa, will give an address at 'o'clock Sunday evening, and will tell of the conditions of our people in that part of the Dark Conflict, Mr. Platjez cogges with a special mission to America. The following members of the church were supported with this week: W. H. Prouten, Kingston, N. Y.; Mrs. G. O. Freeman, St. Mary's Hospital; Robert Shewall, Staten Island Hospital; Mine Georgia John, St. Giles Hospital. Nathan Venley, a member of the First Church of Atlanta, was a guest of Dr. and Mrs. Proctor over the Sabbath, and was delighted with the work being done at Namrums. Mr. Venley was usher-in-chief in the First Church of Atlanta under Dr. Proctor's administration. Proctor took the Holy Triumph Episcopal Church on Monday at noon, one of the chosen speakers of the Undernominational Unity Tenor Services. He chose as his text the Negm melody "Steal Away to Jesus" This is the second year Dr. Proctor has spoken in these services and he is the first of our race to receive this opportunity. The pastor will give the last in his series of sermons on the Lord's Prayer on Sunday morning, deafing with the are-long problem of Evil. The offerings last Sunday were $301. 17. Union Baptist Church. The past work was rather a busy time with us. On Monday night. Dr. R. C. Richardson, who year ago was known as the "Church Moving Picture King of the World," presented a splendid show at the church on "The Hindrances and the Passion of Our Lord." On Tuesday evening, Madison Bartlett, accompanied by Aldama Jackson, gave a rectal to the delight of all those who heard him. On Thursday evening, Mrs. Addie Enoo, president of the women's auxiliary to the mother of the children, presented a cantata, "The Heavenly Gases Ajar." Our pastor preached at the Calvary Baptist Church in Plainfield, Dr. D. Y. Campbell, pastor. He mentioned the sad misfortune that Dr. Campbell had on March 2. His house was burned. Our brother has the sympathy of all who learned of his misfortune. On Friday evening the prayer meeting was well attended. On Sunday morning, at 11 a. m., the church-goers had an ideal day, and we STRAIGENTEN YOUR HAIR gad hand, but would probably have been raided, if accepted. It is reported, however, that Secretary Taylor would make no agreement entailing such action upon himself, and it is even alleged that he is quoted as saying that he would rather be willing to give up his position as secretary than give up association with the lady in question. It is an unfortunate phase of the situation that both Mr. Taylor and his secretary are married, but not living with their respective wife and husband. Final Action Not Taken. The conference lasted from 4 o'clock to 6:30 p. m., but no definite action is reported. The City Board has taken the matter under advisement, and will probably not make its decision public in the immediate future. Some of those in close touch with the situation are of the opinion that the City Board will eventually approve the action of the local board, hoping in the meantime that mutual concessions of a nature which will have the face of the situation will be made by both sides. Members of the local board, approached on the situation, are averse to discussion of it. A general feeling is that the City Board will make every effort possible to save Taylor for further employment in the services of the Y. M. C. A., and one of the things necessary will be the favorable adjustment of the New York situation. It is not thought that it will be possible to repeat the Indianapolis scheme of sending him on to another point of service, because of the publicity which has been given the case. And the openness of the case will not attempt to take big alleged defenses into court on charges of libel, either criminal or civil. Mrs. Taylor, the secretary's wife, and their little daughter, are living here in New York and are supported, it is said, by Mr. Taylor, although it is alleged that he has not lived with them for the past year. Mr. Taylor's secretary is separated from her husband, and has been seen in public in company with Mr. Taylor upon so many occasions and at such hours as around comment and criticism, and finally led to the action taken by the board of management at 12 February 18th meeting. A significant nightfall upon the situation is revealed in the action taken by the local bodies. The Southern Bunfidley Longue of the Chubbans's Beneficial League and the Chubbans's League, with membership totalling several thousand of the best run of the reported to have taken action to the effect they will not make further contributions to the support of the Y. M. C. A. work under the present unsatisfactory conditions. had our share. It was thought by a number that our pastor, Dr. Sims, delivered the sermon of his life from the God's Approval of Human Leadership." At 2 p. m. the Sunday School had a large attendance, Sept. W. H. Johnson seems to be very much elated over his trip to Washington to the Inauguration. The B. Y. P. U. was also very large attended under Pres. Lloyd. At the evening service, a solo, was rendered b. Prince Hamlin, and several renditions by the choir. Our pastor presented Dr. C. D. Patterson of the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn who preached a most excellent sermon from the subject of "Title Searching." The sermon was well received. Mrs. Patterson accompanied the doctor. At the close of the service, Miss Grace Connolly, one of the chair members who will tail for Europe on this coming Saturday, sang a pleasing selection. Offering amounted to $705.07. Mother A. M. E. Zion Church A forceful and helpful sermon was preached at Mother Zion last Sunday morning to an overflow audience by the pastor, Dr. James Walter Brown. His subject was "Profit and Loss." The portrayal of life's obligations made a strong impression at his interment festivals. The attendance at the Sunday School was large. The music class of Miss Lillie A. Lee of Jersey City rendered a fine program, interperped with some solos and a reading. Dr. Brown spoke in complimentary terms of the work of Miss Lee in Jersey City in the way of developing the musical talent of the boys and girls of that city and especially emphasized the spirit of service she was rendering. "Thy Kingdom Come" was the subject of the discourse in a very lively Christian Endeavor meeting. Next Sunday, the dinner will be served by the Zion Loyalty Club, Mrs. Mary Piggott, President. At the evening service the first annual sermon to the Lula Robinson-Jones Council and their invited guests, I. O. St. Luke was preached by the pastor. It was a splendid sermonic exposition. Mme. Lula Robinson-Jones rendered a solo at the morning services and appreciation was exhibited to the highest degree. The singing of the choir at the evening service brought forth many compliments. Next Sunday afternoon at the community service, Dr. James F. Mason, financial secretary of Livingstone College, will preach. Last Sunday was the first rally day in the beginning of the Easter Drive. The result was pleasing to the pastor and officers. Holy week will be observed by Mother Zion. "Seven Laws, Words" will be rendered by the choir on Thursday, March 24th.

Youth and Beauty Chats BY MONA Do you long for the pleasures of yesterday, when jolly good times were everywhere, and we didn't have thought for worry and care? What joy plains a circus was coming to town, and a hay-ride or barn-dance, or a holiday seems though those pleasures have faded away. Why a circus isn't near good, it used to be, and a hay-ride or barn-dance is more dull than gay, and I'd love as leave work on a holiday. You say "it's a sign that I'm growing old, and that on my youth I'm losing my hold"? Well, now that I've found the real reason out, I'll sigh more, but Right Face About, and back to the days of old. Perhaps its because the memory of pleasures give us happiness, that days gone by seemed to be free from worry. We just forget our worries as soon as we can, and so they do not stand out in our memories, as our pleasures as for they say people do the things which give them the most pleasure or the least pain, surely that implies to thinking also; so, while our yesterday seems to contain only happiness, it is probably because we have forgotten our worries. Happiness is a great extent is due to the person themselves; haven't you your people who just refused to be happy, and didn't even want you to be? That the sort it's a good thing to keep away from; they can hand out more gloves in fifteen minutes than you can get away from in a whole day; its the sort of thing they take pleasure in, and in the sure road to sour old age; and even though we don't enjoy the circus, or hay-ride or barn-dance, as we did years ago, the young people are enjoying it, and there is just as much pleasure in the world today as there was twenty years ago. To the question, HOW TO KEEP YOUNG? keep young in mind and you will find it far easier to keep young in body; neat, take care of your low ear year; give it added attention to combat the wear and tear of Father Time. as usual on Palm Sunday. most powerful and useful man Reported sick: Marie Lewis, 1 West 134th street; Anne Henneman, 79 West 141st street; Marion Harrafield, 2340 Seventh avenue; Serena Reeves, 250 West 132nd street; Moses Anderson, West 12nd street; John Dillas, 545 Lennox avenue; Marie Smallwood, 2251 Seventh avenue. Salem M. K. Church and Lyceum Last Sunday was communion day, 500 persons communed. Rev. F. A. Cullen and J. B. Coleman were the preachers for the day. The music by the choir under the direction of Choirmaster Rudolph Grant was in keeping with the occasion. The Sunday School and Men's Bible Class were well attended. The Epworth League had an interesting session. The topic for the discussion at the evangelistic services at the Lyceum was "Rewards for Faithful Service." President Geo. W.

Subject "Abraham Lincoln, man and Statesman." St. James' Presbyterian Church. The congregations at S. James Presbyterian Church, 153th street, near Lemont avenue, were of unusual size all day last Sunday. At the close of the morning sermon two infants were baptized and the pastor and a number of elders were requested to come to the home of H. T. Boone, 2143 Fifth avenue, to receive into the church two persons, who on account of sickness were unable to attend the service. They were received into the membership and given communion.

We still have Mr. Church with us taking active interest and also Misa Martin of the City Mission who continues to render good service advising and guiding the several departments.

Church. It was a red letter event in the annals of that great, historic church. It marked the beginning of the great drive for funds for the erection of the new office. Dr. John Kraus was the occupant of the pulpit at both the morning and evening services which were attended by good congregations. Dr. Kraus, who condemned the drive in a very efficient manner, inspired great outliness among the members and friends of the church who packed the large room and responded nobly with their pledges: raise the sum of $175,000 on the five year subscription plan, $90,000 was pledged. This large amount pledged on the first day of the drive, drove eloquently for the successful outcome of the plan. The text of the morning sermon was: 20th Psalm, 11th verse: Theme: — An exchancion to God. In the course of his able remorse, Dr. Krone said today is the crucible day in the history of the Church of God. The greatest need of the President church is a survival of old time church patronage. Continuing he declareth that a good church pastor is one who thinks nothing is too good for God's church and is willing to carry the cross in order to warn his counsell. The text of the coming sermon was a confirmation of the company's text. Theme: Love for the Church. During his diaconate Dr. Krone shouted to the congregation: most powerful and useful matriarch in the world. It has increased happiness and decreased sorrow among the man beings and raised a lot of confidence for probity among bustiers men. The Sunday School was largely attended and the collection goal. A musical programme was rendered. Mrs. Kildred Turner in charge. The musical and literary exercise of the Epworth League were largely attended. Mrs. Washington was in charge. The meetings of the Interstate and Brotherhood Bible Classes were largely attended and a lively discussion of the day's lesson was led by the keeper. The love feast, which was held late Friday evening, was largest attended. The services were conducted at Brooks and was the source of spiritual strength to those who avoid themselves of the opportunity to attend this great church function. At both the morning and evening services, the choir under E. A. Jacke reRendered excellent music. Abyssinian Baptist Church The church was crowed at best services Sunday, Dr. Powell praised in the morning and Rev. Payne delivered the message at the evening services.

THE CRITICS ANSWERED. I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the adjournment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of faith 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 no question the disposition of the coming Administration to give a square deal in the political recognition of all elements of American citizenship. 7. BROKING DISRUPTION. The fact that the City Board of Disbursement of the Y. M. C. A. has taken a board in seeking to clear up the ugly situation prevailing in the affairs of the 2135th street Branch is taught with much significance to the people of the community affected by this matter. The only true and safe solution of this difficulty is for the City Board to sustain the action of the local board is upholding the moral standard that should obtain in an institution of this character. Any other solution of the matter is impossible to be entertained. The basic principle of the association is the inculcation of Christian standards of conduct and moral training of the young in the attainment of clean and upright manhood. These aims, would be impossible of accomplishment unless the men at the head of the movement not only teach, but act but these principles in their daily walk and conversation. Any suspicion of a departure from these standards is fraught with danger to the whole scheme of the institution. The executive in charge must not only be efficient in organizing and building up the work, but he must be an examplar of the results to be attained through that work. Any smirch on the reputation of the worker reflects upon the work. Any failure of the City Board to recognize this feature of the situation is bound to result in the disruption of the magnificent work so suspiciously started in Harlem. The moral sentiment of the community would be outraged by the continuance of the conditions now prevailing. The local board is in a position to realize these conditions more clearly than the City Board, whose members are not so close to the facts of the situation. At the same time the principles of issue are the same that should prevail in all branches of the association. And the standard of morality that is not for the colored branch should be as high as that set for any other branch. As to the possibility of the City Board curruculing the action of the local board we do not think that any such course should prevail, both as a matter of policy and wisdom. If the local board of managers is invested with any power at all, it should embrace the power to upheld the moral standard of the association. If the members do not possess and exercise this power, there would not appear to be any valid reason for the existence of such a board. The prompt separation of the secret entry from the work is the only measure that can save the institution. MORE SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS. It is cause for congratulation that the recommendation of District Superintendent John P. Conroy for a new school to be erected in Harlem, has been approved by the school authorities. How soon this building program will be carried out, it is hard to tell, but it is a decided gain that the necessity for additional school accommodations has been recognised officially. The locality recommended for the section of this new school is the block bounded by Lemox and Seventh avenues, between 139th and 140th streets, which afford space not only for the proposed building, but also for a public park and playground both of which are used in this neighborhood. This recommendation of the District superintendent will be a boon to the children of the neighborhood, who have a secure playground but the streets. ```markdown ``` alum. shop equipment for girls can. The effect of this increase of seats in District 16 will be to relieve the crowded conditions of Public Schools 5, 119, 89, 90 and 68. In Public Schools 89, 93 per cent of the pupils are enrolled in No. 119, 73 per cent.; in No. 5, 64 per cent.; in No. 90, 13 per cent.; and in No. 68, 26 per cent. The recommendations for the equipment of this new building seem to have been made with the view to the broadcast service possible to the pupils whom it will accommodate and the community will be anxious for its erection and completion at the earliest possible moment. STUDY YOUR JOB. While the so-called efficiency expert is responsible for a good deal of twiddle attention in the name of efficiency, which has but little practical value, there have been exceptional cases where the outside observer has arrived at simpler and more practical results than the man on the job. This is frequently due to the fact that the latter individual gets in the rut of doing things as he was originally taught, how to do them, and does not study his job so as to devise an easier or more effective method of operation. It is for this reason that the efficiency expert can pose as teaching the common laborer how to showel dirt or coal with less expenditure of energy, fewer motions and a greater quantity accomplished in the same period of time. Now if the laborer had studied his job, he might have arrived at the same method without the aid of the expert. As it is not every worker who is blessed with expert advice in the performance of his daily task, it is well for the average employer to study his job and see what there is to it and how he can best perform it, with the least expenditure of energy and the greatest return of production. Greater production at less cost in the urgent demand of the business world today, in order to arrive at a readjustment of prices and values that will speed up business again. The worker can play his part in this task of reconstruction by studying his or her job and cutting out waste of time and power. Learn every detail of your work, comply readily with the rules of shop or office, and you will be making good in the way of practical efficiency. POLICEWOMEN NEEDED The employment of women as an essential part of the police force has proved so successful in New York City, that there is a demand for an additional number of them to be appointed. Especially important is the work done by these police women in looking after unprotected girls and children and in the prevention of crimes in which this class would be the victims. The value of women in this phase of police work has been so amply demonstrated on a small scale, that the need for an increase of the number of police women is generally admitted. At least twenty more should be added to the force, including seven for the Harlem district, where the need for them is beyond question. Colored women possessed of the necessary qualifications for this kind of work would be most effective in giving the needed protection to girls and children and preventing crimes to which they are subjected. They would be useful in regulating the moving picture places of a certain class, which violate the laws in the admission of minors to the detriment of their manners and morals. If legislation is required to give this additional measure of protection to that section of the public most in need of it, we are sure that Assemblyman Hawkins and Assemblywoman Smith of Harlem will exert every effort to secure it for their constituents. In the meantime, fit candidates should be encouraged to apply for positions as police women. DISQUALIFIED FOR OFFICE. In a recent issue of the New York News, a weekly publication, we find the following editorial admission: If the American people had accepted the persistent and universally spread rumor that Harding had colored blood in his veins, the Woodrow Wilson regime would have been reinaugurated tomorrow, and Cox, the blastant, Negrophobe, would be President. Or, suppose they had taken the same position that some of the Y. M. C. A. Board of Manager judges of Taylor have taken-that they do not care whether he was guilty or not, public rumor would destroy his usefulness as a president; then all his past life of constructive effort and public probity would have gone for nothing and they would have elected the man concerning whom the larger minded and broader souled Republicans had not thrown the arrows of personal spleen and slander. If the above conglomeration of words has any meaning at all, it would seem to admit that the possession of colored blood disqualifies a man for office in the eyes of the American people. The Negro carries at the head of its editorial page the name of George W. Harris as editor. Mr. Harris has repeatedly posed as a representative, of the colored people of Harlem and as such was elected to its seat in the Board of Alderman of the City of New York. He could not have been elected to this office without the votes of white residents of this district. How can Alderman Harris reconcile his election to office with the discouraging and disgraceful admission made by Editor Harris in the News? If possession of colored blood can disqualify an individual for the Presidency, why should it not disqualify for the Alderman board or any other public office? The Aux Never considered Editor Harris a fit candidate for Alderman but is who not the ground of his color. We recognize the question also other THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 SENATOR HARDING'S INAUGURAL that Harding's inaugural address ought to American citizen. It is a clear-cut statement, abolishment. It has been some criticism of the address in the Thin, of course, is only natural. The criticism Harding has laid down no specific program. Natural address is not intended to contain a simply a medium through which the incomprehensible plays down the general policies that he intends by his Administration. Country as a whole, no doubt, considers the address that in which the President speeches international policy. This part of the address will not enter "The League of Nations" after "A League of Nations." Mr. Harding "the recorded progress of our Republic man himself proves the wisdom of the inheritance in Old World affairs." He also said the foundation laid by the fathers, can be a military alliance." He based his position upon the question of a "suggested change of Nationality was to supersede Nationality" which can people, the result of the referendum which must be carried out. Other hand, Mr. Harding said: We ready to associate ourselves with the nation at and small, for, conference, for counsel, to views of world opinion, to recommend a way to attain and relieve the crushing burdens of militarisms. We elect to participate in suggestion, conciliation and arbitration, and would gladly based conscience of progress which seeks to cleave of international relationship, and establish the disposition of such dissciicable questions as we submit thereto." These statements are all in line with statements throughout the campaign, in which he gave that he was opposed to entering the League at Paris; but that he was in favor of all of nations which would look toward the essential peace. The whole of the address was taken up by the aims of international, political, economic, and social. Mr. Harding, however, did depart far more to say that he counted upon the exercise of the performance of the duties of citizens, hisised womanhood of the country, to speed up highest state. Red people and the colored press will regret reference to the essential equality of American citizens. President Harding's inaugural address ought to satisfy any reasonable American citizen. It is a clear-cut statement without rhetorical embellishment. There has been some criticism of the address in the opposition newspapers. This, of course, is only natural. The critics have said that Mr. Harding has laid down no specific program. That is true, but an inaugural address is not intended to contain a detailed program. It is simply a medium through which the incoming President restates and lays down the general policies that he intends to have carried out by his Administration. The country as a whole, no doubt, considers the most important part of the address that in which the President speaks of what will be his international policy. This part of the address indicates that Mr. Harding will not enter "The League of Nations," but is willing to enter "A League of Nations." Mr. Harding referred to the fact that "the recorded progress of our Republic materially and spiritually in itself proves the wisdom of the inherited policy of non-involvement in Old World affairs." He also said that America, built on the foundation laid by the fathers, can be a party to "no permanent military alliance." He based his position upon the fact that when the question of a "suggested change of National policy where Internationality was to supersede Nationality" was submitted to the American people, the result of the referendum was a public mandate which must be carried out. "We are ready to associate ourselves with the nations of the world, great and small, for conference, for counsel, to seek the expressed views of world opinion, to recommend a way to approximate disarmament and relieve the crushing burdens of military and naval establishments. We elect to participate in suggesting plans for mediation, conciliation and arbitration, and would gladly join in that expressed conscience of progress which seeks to clarify and write the laws of international relationship, and establish a world court for the disposition of such justiciable questions as nations are agreed to submit thereto." Now, these statements are all in line with statements made by Mr. Harding throughout the campaign, in which he gave the country to understand that he was opposed to entering the League of Nations as formed at Paris; but that he was in favor of some sort of an association of nations which would look toward the establishment of international peace. Almost the whole of the address was taken up by the consideration of questions of international, political, economic, and industrial reconstruction. Mr. Harding, however, did depart far-enough from these questions to say that he counted upon the exercise of the full privileges and the performance of the duties of citizenship by the newly enfranchised womanhood of the country, to speed the attainment of the highest state. The colored people and the colored press will regret the omission of any reference to the essential equality of American citizenship in all American citizens. A BOOMERANG. aganda regarding the acts of African troops was launched in Germany and carried on in purpose of working on American race prejudice American people would demand the with has reached the point where it has proved aganda was worked a little too far, so who did for his big protest meeting at Madison S The propaganda regarding the acts of African troops on the Rhine which was launched in Germany and carried on in this country, for the purpose of working on American race prejudice, to the end that the American people would demand the withdrawal of these troops, has reached the point where it has proven to be a boomerang. The propaganda was worked a little too far, so when Dr. von Mach arranged for his big protest meeting at Madison Square Garden, to discuss "The Horrors of the Rhine," he found that he had the opposition of the American Legion, leading men and women, and above all, the New York press. It is a fortunate thing that this propaganda was forced to the point where it exploded. So long as it was carried on insidiously it did a great deal of damage, but when it came out boldly in the open it met with the truth. From a great many unexpected quarters there has come a defense of these black soldiers. One of their champions is Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the head of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. In an article in a current number of "The Woman Citizen," she tells how numerous appeals have been made to that organization to lend its aid in the campaign to persuade France to withdraw colored troops from the Rhine. She tells of a letter at hand in which the writer says: "The terrible atrocities committed on women and children, even old women and young boys, by the colored troops of the Accupation Army are indesheribably horrible." These "atrocities" refer to the alleged charges of abductions, followed by rape, mutilation, murder and concealment of the bodies of the victims. In answer to these charges, s. Catt says in part: "This campaign of propaganda has been in progress in the United States for many months. I had heard a good deal of it before going to Geneva. I, therefore, called together two German delegates, one a member of the National Reichstag, and one a Counsellor to the Government at Wurtemburg, and also the Treasurer of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, Mrs. Coit, who is of German birth, married to an American who became a naturalized British citizen. She had been visiting her aged father at Frankfort, which lies in the region where the black troops were alleged to have committed atrocities. Mrs. Coit said that the people in the vicinity of the black troops had told her repeatedly that they had conducted themselves with more courtesy and consideration than any white troops who had been stationed there. The two German delegates declared that there was no movement in Germany to ask France to remove black colored troops and that so far as they knew there was no complaint in Germany on that score. These three women promised to make inquiry concerning the definite charges which were being made in the United States concerning these troops and to let me know later. "I saw all three of them in London in early December, and again they reiterated the same statement made in Geneva, which was to the effect that atrocities such as are being described in the United States could not have been committed by any Army of Occupation without the masses of the people of Germany knowing about it; and that they had heard nothing which warranted such charges being made." It is gratifying that these charges, since they were brought at all, were carried far enough to bring out the truth; that is, that there never has been an army of occupation anywhere in the world of white men, brown or black men, against which there have not been brought just charges of mistreatment of women; but that black soldiers are no worse than white soldiers, perhaps not so bad. THE CLOSE OF THE QILPIN INCIDENT. The New York newspapers announced in headlines, not only that Mr. Gilpin was one of the greatest of hops, but that the dignitaries "Enter Madame," on one side of him, and Mrs. Rollin Kirby of the Drama League on the other side. There had been much previous talk as to whether, or not there might not be many vacant places at the table because of Mr. Gilpin's presence, but the affair turned out to be the biggest dinner the League ever gave. More than six hundred men and women crowded the ballroom. The New York "Tribune" states that when Mr. Gilpin was introduced, a thunder of handclapping greeted him which lasted three minutes; and that, when he had finished his unaffected remarks, the diners not only applauded him for a full minute, but stood up and cheered him. It is seldom that an incident of this kind closes so happily. Through it all, Mr. Gilpin has carried himself with splendid courage and judgment. He has done a great service to his race and to his country by impressing upon the American people the principle that a man should be judged, and judged only on his individual merits. EXPLOITED COLORED LABOR Another quarter of the globe where the exploiting of colored labor petitions was revealed in an article recently published in the London Daily Herald. This referred to the system of indus-tured black labor, as conducted under the Australian flag, which was pronounced "something akin to slave trading in its most vicious form." John A. Brailsford, a writer in Stred's Review of Melbourne, was quoted as giving the revolting conditions under which this class of labor is secured and employed, as revealed in the minority report of a Royal commission. This type of human slavery existed, he says, last September, in German New Guinea, now administered by Australia. Quoting the report, the writer said: "A local planter gets a contract for the supply of laborers at, say, 60 per head and engages a Chinese man to grow 63 a heaf for all its fruits brought in." "The Chinaman, armed with a shotgun and attended by a few natives, possibly also armed, and assisted by a few carriers, proceeds inland, or to some convenient place on the coast, to retrieve the fish that enters into the hull to obtain recruits, for a promised reward of, say, five or ten shillings. "What may happen when the Chinaman sends out armed natives, selected by himself, to collect boys on the boat us system, can only be conjectured. "In Papua, a plantation owner was found do he working his labourers seven days a week from 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. m with one integra meal a day. The lash was used constantly. Fierce dogs, were kept. "In New Guinea the indenture system permits the punishment of industrial laborers by the planters, by fines or imprisonment, with or without chains." This could hardly be worse if the scene was laid in Georgia, on one of the farms where the prognage system prevails. This exploitation of colored and black labor in the interest of white capitalists prevails in various parts of Africa, South America, the United States, Hawaii, Haiti, and other sections of the globe. The English speaking nations are the most conspicuous offenders in this regard. Although Germany, France and Portugal are not without guilt, while the Belgians and the Boers made their record atrocious in the Congo and South Africa. FOR SMALL CONTRIBUTIONS. A curious appeal has been sent out in the form of a circular from the "Headquarters for Legislative Relief, 1210 Pennsylvania avenue, N. W. Washington, D.C." and signed with the name of P. M. Howard. This appears to be intended for lodges, chuches, schools and individuals, who are asked to send a small contribution to provide sufficient funds to carry on the fight to secure legislation from the new Congress on the subjects vital to colored people, such as lynching, mob violence, disfranchisement, the ku Klux Klan etc. It in part as follows: "For sometime Col. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON—Georgia Member of the Republican National Committee—the only colored Republican National Committee, and one of the most fearless and ably champions of our Race at the Nation's Capital, is already here on the scene and has been lining up his forces for a great drive on the new administration, to the end that remedial and effective legislation will be passed as promptly as possible. "This great man has given the best of his time, his service, his energy, as well as his means, in the unselfish service of our cause and it certainly ill becomes us to allow him to continue to draw upon what may be considered poverty for further effort in directing." "A SMALL CONTRIBUTION FROM EACH LODGE, CHURCH, SCHOOL, ORGANIZATION OR INDIVIDUAL would go a long distance toward providing sufficient means to carry forward this light which is proving expensive and protracted." "We are, therefore, going to ask that you take up an AFTER-COLLECTION in your Church or a SPECIAL COLLECTION in your LODGE SCHOOL or other ORGANIZATION, (as the case may be), AFTER PREACHING ON, or DISCUSSING THE RACE QUESTION, and SEND THE SAME TO ME HERE AT 116 PENNSYLVANIA AVE. N. W. Washington, D. C. "THIS FUND WILL BE PROPERLY ACCOUNTED FOR and we shall make it go as far as possible in this great movement. A SMALL PITTANCE WILL HURT NO ONE BUT WILL ADD GREATLY TO THIS EFFORT." We had not heard anything of, the activities of this movement for "Racial Legislative Relief," previous to the sight of this circular and had supposed that the organized effort in that direction was simply represented through the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Equal Rights League and similar organizations. Whether there is a necessity to retain Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson in the guise of "Racial Legislative Relief," to further continue the endeavor to improve it. them through separate agencies, sometimes working at worse purposes. The National Republican party is its platform pronounced itself in favor of proper action by Congress to remedy the lynching evil. The question of disfranchisement was thrashed out by the spokesman of the Advancement Association before the Committee on the Census. President Harding has declared his belief that the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, including the full measure of citizenship earned by them. What the object is in appealing for "a small pittance that will hurt no one" is hard to conjecture. The appeal is indignified and unconvincing, and should be ignored. In speaking to an audience of colored farmers at Savannah, W. T. Anderson, editor of the Macon Telegraph, urged the need of diversified farming and the necessity of raising pork, beef etc. at home. Discussing the loss in raising cotton, due to the ball weevil, Mr. Anderson said, according to the Savannah Journal: Two Negroes have discovered a lion that has proven to be destructive to this pest. The preparation has been submitted to chemical experts and they have declared that it was efficacious and will accomplish in their opinion what the originators of it claim. If this preparation is proven effective on a large scale as it has on a small experimental case, it will be a boon to the cotton grower and an asset to the nation. In that event the names of the discoverers of this remedy against the ball weevil should be handed down to posterity as benefactors of the human race. The Catholic monthly entitled Our College Mission, under the heading "Do You Know"—published the following items of personal interest: 3. That Ira Aldridge, who in 1833 played Ottohe to the sign of Edmund Kean, the foremost actor of the time, was a Negro? 4. That Charles S. Gilpin, the Negro actor who is playing the title role in "Emperor Jones," was taught elocution (Seybelt sa-mi-ni-za-tion by the Sisters of a Catholic school in Richmond, Va.? 5. That Bert Williams, a Negro, is teddy generally remarked as one of two Americans generally remarked as one of two American women? 6. That Richard T. Greener, the first Negro to receive a degree from Harvard University, represented officially Japanese and British interests during the Russian-Japanese War? For service to Chinese Boxer War in 1900 and for aid to Shangyi famine sufferers, he was decorated with the Order of Double Dragon by Chinese Government, 1902; the only colored man so honored. This is an encouraging reminder of racism achievement in literature, music and drama. The Negro Outlook which made its how to the public with the January issue, is published monthly at Memphis, Tenn., and edited by M. V. Lynk. Its purpose is defined as a national journal of opinion and current events. Compious among the contributors to the first two issues is T. Thomas Fortune, who writes with much of his oldtime force and pointness. In a review of "The New Republican Administration and the Negro," Mr. Fortune concludes: "What those who have offices to give out look at most steadfastly are votes. If the votes are compacted into an organization the more disposed are they to eat it decently and fairly who have offices to organize. Negroes have not sufficiently learned this fact, but they are learning it." The necessity for effective political organization among the members of the race was never greater than it is today. Discussing the reorganization of the army in the bill before Congress, the Florida Sentinel said: Taking into consideration that the national army, the second line of defense of the national army of 175,000 men is sufficient in time to equip a large service in the army units too many men for usefulness in civil life. With regrets we note that colored regiments in southern states are not mentioned in the national guard service. Their only chance for military service is in the four regiments in the regular army, the twenty fourth and twenty fifth infantry, and the ninth and tenth cavalry. The disbandment of the colored military organizations in the Southern states was due to the guilty conscience of white Southerners. The editor of the Golden Chain Squall, published at Dallas, Tex., is rantine of a better understanding between the races based on the fact that light leading white citizens trook part in a meeting held to aid a colored orphanage. He says: Saying the heart to me, this was a strong revolution. I had thought and have endeavored to discover if the personality of the white man was beyond the Jim Crow right and impressionable. Now I am confident to know of my race. In it I caught of the large possibility operation, racial issue in council and getting together pathetic, working hard. Lawlessness could nearly so in the measure had a better understanding sympathetic duties toward in things interracial. We trust that the ties seen by the editor in the extension of the standing to the suppression and the accordance.

T. subway, Hudson Tubes and a Jersey jitney took me to Orange, New Jersey, on the evening of Thursday, March 3rd, and the object of my journeys carried me to the Union Baptist Church, Oakwood avenue, where Nana B. Lewis, soprano, a pupil of Wilson Lamb, made what really amounted to her debut. Mrs. Lewis had appeared in a recital a year ago, but that was intended more as a try-out than as a regular bid for an artistic rating. She has since then put in a year of hard, conscientious work at the Metropolitan Building studio of Mr. Lamb, on Main street, Orange, and she came before her audience on this occasion with confidence in the ability to make good. So far as the ability to sing pleasingly and with comprehending authority goes, Mrs. Lewis established her right to be considered. He voice is smooth in timbre, vibrant in quality, and, if somewhat deficient in range, is yet of remarkable evenness throughout its compass. There was excellent control and good technic in evidence and there was no line of demarcation as between one register and another. Lower, middle or upper, her tones were of a similar texture and color. But her singing lacked temperament. In the first place, an unnecessarily slow tempo was used, and this was assisted by seeming lethargy of spirit which indicated that the singer needs wakening up. Mrs. Lewis is an attractive looking woman well proportioned and stately in carriage, but she must learn some of the little tricks of stage artistry before she can hope to attain full measure of popularity as a concert singer. Elegant bows, charming smiles, pleasant manners and a graceful entrance and exit do not of themselves make a successful singer (though there are some aspirants who possess only these attributes and little more) but they contribute much to the winning of the favor of the audiences and they are also calculated to give a singer poise and confidence. Mrs. Lewis has a voice that will improve and ripen, with care and proper direction, and as she gains in experience it is quite within the range of possibility that she will be heard from in a larger sphere. Her program included "Elegic" (Massinet), "Just You" (Burleigh), "Low breathing winds" (Coleridge-Taylor, "Life" (Horesman) "I know a lovely garden" (D'Hardelot), "Absent" (Metcalf), "The years at the spring" (Beach), and a group of Spirituals by Burleigh, "Weeping Mary," "Simer, please don't let this harvest pass," and "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child." Miss Auriel Pearman was at the piano and her playing indicated an ability that will develop as she gains experience and percepts her technique. She has a good touch and gives the instrument the proper subordination to the singer, but is inclined to give the solist too little sympathy in her support. She is young and this fault will probably be eliminated with further development and study. But she will be making a serious mistake if she tries to go on just what she has already acquired. She needs more, much more training and direction if she hopes to become a worthwhile player of the pianistorte. Two groups of violin solos were played by a youngster, Master Gustavus Clark, who shows promise. He has a good bow arm and produces a pleasing tone. Some faults of tonal accuracy were not surprising in so young a player and the general excellence of his playing indicates that these faults will be overcome in time. Miss Pearman played his accompaniments, also. A fairly large audience was present and enjoyed the program. Mrs. Holt writes me that her magazine, "Music and Dance" out on March 10th.

(Clarence Cameron-White) Mr. WHITE Conducting Information has reached me that Wilson Lamb, haritone, of Orange, New 7. Two Negro Sketches for orchestra ..... (Clarence Cameron-White) Mr. WHITE Conducting Information has reached me that Wilson Lamb, harpist, of Orange, New Jersey, will appear on Monday evening, May 2nd, in his third annual recital at Acolian Hall. The suggestion is thrown out to young singers especially, and to music lovers in general, that it will be well worth it, while going to Acolian Hall on that night. Mr. Lamb is not merely a singer, but he is an exemplar of good singing. He is fully entitled to be a classed artist, and I am sure that those who take my tip and go to hear him on that evening will be amply rewarded if they can appreciate the work of a limbed artist. Aside from the quality of his voice, and there is always room for discussing in the matter of voice quality, this gentleman possesses a thorough knowledge of vocal technique, a knowledge which is in constant evidence in his recital, whether the medium be one of the intense Russian songs, a passionate French chanson, an English art song, or a Negro Spiritual. I know something of the splendid work Mr. Lamb is doing over in New Jersey in the way of developing the race's musical talent, for he has one of the largest and best appointed music studios I've visited recently, and his pupils form a large body of capable devotees whose ideals are set high in emulation of their teacher. And the lay folks of the Mosquito State are being developed in musical appreciation through the efforts of Wilson Lamb and his pupils. Special attention will be given to the work of our church choirs during the Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday services, if the choirmasters, organists, pastors, or anyone else in position to do so, will send in their musical programs to the music department of Tau Ago, not later than MONDAY, MARCH 14th. Grant and Ramsay in Recital Grant and Ramsay in Recital Rudolph Grant, tenor, and Packer Ramsay, bass, gave a joint recital at St. James Presbyterian Church, West 137th street, the Rev. M. Hyder, pastor, on Monday evening, March 7th. A goodly audience had assembled at the specified hour, but had to sit and cool heels, until Mr. Ramsay put in a belated appearance. Artists should at least set their audiences the example of being on time. The program was finally begun at some minutes past nine, Mr. Grant opening with a group of three songs in English. The singer was not in good voice and really seemed to be singing under difficulties. His voice is naturally light, extremely lyric in quality, but this lightness on Monday evening extended almost into tempos. His tones were thin and restrained, and his upper nines were invariably given with a falsetto quality. Mr. Grant's consummate artistry and facility in singing technic had to be used to their fullest extent. His best numbers were Delibes "Bon jour, Suzan" in French, and Mozart's "Il mio tesoro" in Italian. He gave a splendid illustration of how to use the vocal organs in singing, even though the voice itself was not in good shape. Packer Ramsay comes heralded as a gold medalist and Fellow of the Guildhall College of Music of London, England. In addition, he is killed not only as "Professor," but as "The World's Greatest Colored Basso Profundo." The good taste of such bombastic language is always open to question. My idea of greatness is that it speaks for itself and does not have to be ballyhooded to the world. However, it is "Prof." Ramsay's privilege under the lakes of personal liberty of action to use any phrases he may like in his advertising matter. He has a big voice, heavy alike in texture and color. He has good range, possesses intelligent comprehension and interpretation, but his tomes are lacking in musical resonance. There is a murky quality, especially in the top register. The principal beauty of most bass voices is found in the ringing sweetness which is preserved seven in the most clarion utterances. This quality is lacking in Mr. Ramsay's voice. But he does sing with understanding and handles his most difficult numbers with comparative ease. His rendering of Grownod's "She alone charmeth my sadness," was perhaps his most excellent effort, closely followed by "This Epais" (Lully), even though his pronunciation of the French language left much to be desired. Other numbers on the program were: By Mr. Grant—"Winds in the trees" (Thomas), "In the woods" (MacDowell), "There is no doubt" (O'Hara), "That hides a gem" (Ringo), "Chestnut" (Page), "The Owl" (Walla), "Twelve" (Bach), "Mandolin" (Handel), "Granada" (Granada). "Te legammo, audio" and aria, "Il lascerato spira"—In Italian (Veduti), "Dram" (McGill), "Tommy Led" (Margetteon), and "Forest Song" (Kreminger). Ramson I. Delano was at the piano for both singers and did fairly well. He showed a sympathetic quality in his work, and sufficient digital dexterity. A disturbance in the audience caused by the fainting of a young woman, distracted his attention from the score, but Mr. Ramsa), who was singing, did not lose his poise.

The following table shows the number of double session classes on the May reports of the schools which the children of this section attend: P. S. 5, 24; P. S. 68, 7; P. S. 89, 16; P. S. 90, 20; P. S. 119, 8; (Circulation Classes). Total 81. Increases in Double Session Classes. "In May, therefore, there were 81 double session classes and this number will surely be increased in the future unless relief is provided. "Elementary school accommodations in this neighborhood have actually been decreased during the period of increasing school population. Public School 100, at 134th and 139th streets, cost of Fifth Avenue, which contained, a number of classes of younger children, was discontinued in the fall of 1914 and the building given over to the Vocational School, while the children were sent to the neighboring schools, requiring the formation of double session classes to receive them. "In addition to the need of accommodating the double session classes, sure to increase, every consideration of a social and economic character requires attention. This social condition demands a reduction in the size of existing classes. Reference to P. S. 89 will indicate the urgency of relief. "A comprehensive study made in 1916 by the principal of P. S. B9, Mr. Jacob Theobald, when 1736 of the 2071 pupils in the school were colored, show that problems of attendance, over-age, delinquency and health were acute, as compared with the average school. At that time 644 out of 1657 pupils from "broken homes" that is, with only one parent or guardian, and the study shows a direct relation between retardation and those important home conditions. - Unfavorable Reactions. Frequently both parents are forced to be at work under such conditions where children are, left to their own resources irregular school hours necessitated by double sessions, a: not only a decided inconvenience to the home, but they react most unfavorably, on the pupils and the teachers. They increase the tendency to lateness, truancy, disliquency and overage; all of which problems are already very serious, because so many of the children come from the South where they have had very limited school opportunities. Seventy out of eight of the children with a secondary school history are overage; three out of eight are more than two years overage, allowing for seven years as the waiting age to 1A. The school carries constantly 40 to 50 boys on various kinds of probation. The influx from the South since 1916 has materially added to the pupil population. It is nothing unusual to find recent arrivals two, four or more years behind in the scholastic attainments, lacking, also in ideals of conduct, attendance, and punctuality. This is not a criticism of the parents, for thecollege people are quite ready to give their children the facilities. It is due to the lack of continued school training, under proper conditions, and our schools are the chief agencies to make up for lost opportunities and lact of standards. To remedy these conditions it is therefore necessary (1) to abolish all double session classes in the existing schools by the building of a school to accommodate, in regular classes of all of the pupils of the neighborhood. (2) To permit the organization of classes with registers smaller than usual, so that more individual attention may be given to pupils, and to permit the organization of more classes for backward overage pupils—opportunity classes—which cannot be done owing to limited room. (3) To provide space for the introduction of a shop to enable; these overage pupils to be prepared to enter useful occupations. If no provision is now made for the future, conditions will become worse, and the remedy will be more difficult to apply and more expensive as well. This section of the city has now settled into a neighborhood of colored buildings, constantly increasing in number. It is without proper school accommodations and it is hoped that steps will at once be take to provide such by the erection of the building recommended.

Gilpin Star of Annual Dinner Given by Drama League at McAlpin Chinese Drama Next Week's Attraction at the Lafayette Last Sunday evening Charles S. Gilpin attended the annual dinner of the Drama League in the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel McAlpin. To quote the daily press: "He was joyously welcomed, enthusiastically salained as a great actor and made to feel that art knows no barrier, either sectional, geographical or racial." The dinner was the most successful event given by the Drama League. A year ago less than three hundred were present. Sunday one-thousand persons paid $5 a plate to honor the ten chosen by the league for their contributions to the American Theatre in the last year. Up to the time of going to press in dire, calamity had befallen any one of the guests who engaged in social conversation with the distinguished actor. The "social equality" bugaboo, which it times becomes an obsession with white Americans afflicted with colorphobia, was completely forgotten at Sunday night's dinner. The guests of honor present were Charles S. Glipin, selected for his work in "Emperor Jones"; Dudley Diggs, for his work in "Heartbreak House"; Gilda Vareci, for her work, in "Enter Madam"; Lienel Atwill, for his work in "Delhuran"; Lee Simonson, the scenic artist for "Deburau"; Margaret Severn, for her use of mask in dancing, and Ben Ami for his work in "Samson and Dekiah." Owing to illness David Belisaco and Fred Stone were unable to attend and Eugene O'Neill, author of "Emperor Jones" and Mary Garden were prevented from attending, owing to undereason circumstances. Mr. Gilpin was seated at a table near the center of the room. Gilda Varese Chinese Drama New Attraction A strictly oriental atmosphere will prevail at the Laiyette theatre for one week, commencing Monday, March 14 when the "Love Of Su Shung," claimed by critics, to be fully as entertaining and fascinating as "East Is West," will be presented by the Laiyette Players. The story deals with the romantic and thrilling adventure of an American who goes to China after an attack of commi to see a new land and new faces; who walks along the Chu-Poo Road; and stalking his toe, falls right into the area; and affections of a beautiful little-Chinese girl, Su Shong. His coming is sadly and violently interrupted by opposition to it on the THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BCB SLATER. Chas. G. Gilpin in Imperior Jones at Prince's Theatre, New York City. J.

Paruch and Mrs. Vernon Stalcliffe, all members of the league. The colored actor was the central figure the cynomore of all eyes through- out the dinner. Kenneth McGowan, dramatic critic, acted as hostmaster. In introducing Mr. Gilpin he briefly reviewed the actor's work and said: "I take pleasure in introducing the greatest actor of his race, Mr. Charles S. Gilpin." The applause greeting, this introdu- tion, was enthusiastic and lasted for fully three minutes. The star of "Emperor Jones" was visibly affected by such a rousing oath, and said: "This is one time when I am hardly able to go through with a monologue, and they say I do a pretty good one! There is a fancy among the Orientals, you know, that the dead must cross a bridge out red hot iron, and that is the way I feel. In facing audience of this kind I am as nervous as a girl. An artist. I always thought was something a long, long way off. I never expected to reach that height, but you have called me that. I am so glad, if I have given you an evening of pleasure and I am happy to be among you and have you know my work." Mr. Gilpin conclude, his remarks by promising to try to make his work stand out as prominently in the future. When he sat down the applause was even greater than at this introduction, and he was forced to bow several times. So the one-act tarce—"Distinguishing Mr. Gilpin by Extinguishing Him" had a most happy ending after all. part of four different suitors and pro- spective purchasers of the girl. ppective purchasers of the girl. An insight is given the audience into the customs that prevail in China, and a clear insight as to the marriage code in that country. The young American encounters all the obstacles and surmounts them, but not before the audience has seen a fine play with many comedy moments. In the cast will appear Walker Thompson, Evelyn Ellis, William "Babe" Townsend, Inne Chough, Barrington Carter, Harry Plaster, James H. Norman, Harrison Jackson, J.

Father Grieff director of the Passion Play, said yesterday he would consider it a privilege to have the actor as his guest. "Here on Union Hill," he said "where the story of the Redeemer of the World is told, there is no line drawn of creed or color." Rev. Father Grieff has refused an offer of $30,000 for two performances of the Passion Play at Madison Square Garden. THE LINCOLN THEATRE Ceril B.

ANDERSQN'S MARDI GRAS THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 15TH INFANTRY PLANS BOXING TOURNAMENT The Amateur Athletic Union of America at a recent meeting of the executive committee granted the application of the Athletic Association of the 15th Infantry, K. Y. G., to hold a boxing tournament at their armory, 132nd street and Seventh avenue, on the nights of Tuesday, March 22nd and Friday, March 25th. Accordingly the Athletic Association is making elaborate plans to make this event one of the greatest amateur boxing tournaments held in this city since amateur boxing became the popular sport rage of the day. Entry blanks are being distributed at the club houses of all the leading amateur clubs throughout the city and already the boxing representing the various clubs are showing keen interest in the coming tournament. It's expected that many of the metropolitan champions will send in their entries, in addition to a score of colored boxes from New York, Jersey City, Brooklyn, and other near cities. The prizes to be awarded winners in the various classes are of elaborate type, while losers in the semi-finals will be awarded handsome gold watches. It is expected, and confidently so, that Jesse A. Shipp, Jr., will be official referee of the tournament. The A. A. U. has not decided upon his application for a referee's license as yet, but Captain L. V. Meehan, adjunct of the 15th Infantry, who is handling this end of the matter expresses hopes that within the next few days the Amateur Athletic Union of America will act favorably upon Mr. Shipp's application. Only last week Captain Meehan appeared before the executive committee and argued in behalf of Mr. Shipp. From present indications the greatest crowds that ever entered the armory of the 15th Infantry will attend both the preliminaries, and finals of this tournament. Interest is being manifested at all the leading sporting circles of Harlem and it is expected that when the first pair of contestants enter the ring on the night of March 2nd, the armory will be packed to capacity to witness the amateurs get started in first leg of the tournament. Lieut. Charles O. Steedman of the 15th Infantry has been appointed chairman of the boxing committee of the 15th Infantry Athletic Association and in this capacity he will look after all the details in connection with the boxing meet. Orange Girls Defeat Brooklyn Orange, N. J.—On Friday evening the Orange Brownies of the Y. W. C. A. and the Brooklyn Y. W. C. A. came together for the long anticipated basketball game. The air was charged with excitement because the "country folk" were made to feel that it as impossible for Brooklyn to lose. However the first half ended 9 to 1 in favor of Orange, and the final score was 19 to 6 in favor of Orange. Brooklyn (6) Orange (19) Mayo F Crocher Moss F Tiley Cunningham F Foster Lee G Foster K.

Thursday evening, March 8, at Columbia Hall, Jersey City, the Columbia Cubs overwhelmed the Douglas quintet of the "Skeeter State" by a score of 49-5. The Jersey boys must be concocted or they underestimated the Cubs ability. In the first half the Douglas boys stood no show whatsoever. The Cubs just cris-crossed once or twice and the reliable "Chink" Bourke or Prince gently threw the ball through the iron ring. After twenty minutes of monotonous basket hanging the half ended—Columbia Cubs 24, Douglas 1. During the second half the Jersey boys mistook the game for football, and began some center rushes, line plunges and forward passes. But in a few minutes they were forcefully reminded that the game was supposed to be one of basketball and they kindly consented to play that game. The Columbia Cubs junior were then sent in to get some practice and although the Jerseyites were still inclined to rough it the Juniors more than held their own. They caged three baskets in three minutes. The Cubs again entered the fray to learn how football was played, but the time-keeper ended their period of instruction. The score was 49-5 in Columbia's favor. St. C. Wine 2nd Place in Boots. The first boxing tournament, held by the Manhattan and Bronx Athletic League at the 22nd Regiment Army Tuesday and Thursday evening. March 1st and 3rd, resulted in the St. Christopher Club winning the second largest number of points. The meet decided the championship in five weights, the 110, 120, 125, 135 and 145 pound classes. Wilbur-Cohan and Benny Pontou of the St. Christopher Club were the champions of the 125 and 135 pound classes. Both were easy winners over their opponents. Pontou was scheduled to box Archie Walker, the state champion, but the champions was defeated a few days ago, and refused to meet Pontou on Thursday night. An amateur tournament is being arranged for Maffin Square Garden for the last week in this month and Pontou will very likely represent his club at that meet. Other winners of the tournament included Miche Lingo of the Comet A. C. in the 110 pound class; R. Proger of the Comet A. C. in the 120 pound service class; and Mike Swooty of the Glencoe A. C. for the lowest class. The points scored were Comet A. C. 14 1-2 points; St. Christopher Gill 13 points; and Glencoe A. C. 6 points. St. Christopher was the only animal club represented. 1917 - United Sons of Georgia Association, Inc. - 1921 W. H.

Both teams were in excellent condition, and the champion five from Pittsburgh received a big ovation from the large number of supporters that they had at the game. The home team was also warmly welcomed by their host of supporters. The game started with a field goal by Betts, which was followed by one each from Ricks and Sessoms of the Pittsburgh team. Wallace made the first goal for the "Braves," but not until several teams had been registered against his team. The scoring continued with Louisel in the lead until the first half ended. The score at the end of the first half was 17 to 11 in favor of the Pittsburgh team. In the second half the New Yorkers tried hard to overcome the lead gained by their opponents in the first half. Tish started the scoring by making a sensational long field goal for the home team, which was followed by a similar shot from Ricks for the Pittsburghers. Shewart replaced Dask in forward, Wallace was also replaced by Forbes, but these changes did not strengthen the home team very much. So the game ended with Lecordi still leading with the score 30 to 25 in their favor. Tish was the star for the Braves, having shot five field goals and most of the fouls, while Rick, and Young did the best work for the visitors. The line was Loendi (50) Spartan Braves (25) Young L.

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1961 WILFARE EXECUTIVE TO NEWARK COLRED BOYE Newark, M. J.—Ekhremian in his field of antiquities, the hope of breath in the Newark Rotary Club has appointed a colored executive to look after the interest and welfare of the colored boys of Newark and contiguous territory. The man selected for the position is H. M. A. Cox, a native of Newark and he will be given offices both in the tempers of the Boys Scouts and at the Y. M. C. A. The new movement has been pending for some time, and was given practical shape at a meeting held at Di Jamaica, where representatives of the council of Boys Scouts and the Central Committee of the M.C. A, agreed to underwrite the grant of $1,200 a year for a colored executive. The new council of the colored boys' work will be made up of two members of the executive committee of the cooperating agencies and their executive secretaries, and membership will be to others with the approval of the treasurer. The committee will hold every Tuesday at the Robert Treat Hotel to report on the progress of the colored executive. An advisory council composed solely of colored men, was suggested as a means of further advancing the condition of the Negro boys in this city, and the representatives would be called soon to give a practical form. Speaking of the new movement, Robert K. Hanson, secretary of the metropolitan boys' work of the Rotary Club, said the condition of the courts of Newark was such that a great many of them were getting into trouble finding in the juvenile and police courts. HAMPTON INSTITUTE TO GET FIELD AND STADIUM One of the results of the war has been to cause educational institutions throughout the country to have a greater realization of the importance of physical education. Of the colored schools and colleges, not one has a properly equipped athletic field and grandstand. It is therefore important that the Association of Hampton Institute has decided to raise money for a grand stand and the equipping of an athletic field. Charles H. Williams, the athletic director of Hampton, has been more responsible for this step on that part of the Alumni of that school than any one else, and is to be congratulated on this achievement. He has been approved by the board of trustees and a plot of land will be granted in the Spring. A national committee of graduates and ek-students in being formed for the purpose of collecting the $30,000 needed to direct the building of the school later, and all former students and graduates will be applied to for contributions toward this fund. The local committee for this city will be announced in a few days, and every effort will be made to new field ready by the beginning of the school term in 1922. VINDICATION OF LAW IN SOUTHERN STATES Atlanta, Ga.—Would-be-mob leaders appear to be falling on evil times, as their law-abiding neighbors find that they can, when united exercise the control which is their right. Nothing more important than the spread movement for inter-racial good will than some recent examples of mob leaders languishing in county jails and adorning the halls of state penitentiaries. The latest additions to the latter group—small as yet, but still distinctly not-worthy—are furnished by Kentucky, where a number of all Negroes within a certain specified territory have found their activities rewarded by free maintenance at the state's expense. Georgia, where a group of like-minded individuals recently undertook a similar enterprise, bids fairs to rival Kentucky's honors. The paper reports that the courts have curbed of complicity in the outrage, and their lodgment in the county jail. The Federal district attorney of Georgia, a leading lawyer of that state, has secured the indictment and arrest of several well-to-do farmers on a charge of peonage. In a public statement he recognizes the fact that "ninety-nine percent of our people would utterly condemn" such practices, yet reminds them some of the people who deceived a civilian than mere sentiment." That something he apparently proposes to furnish. A determined and influential group of men are cooperating with him; and it is hoped that better conditions will permanently result.

Added features of the conference were the exhibit of farm products by the farmers. An unusually large sweet potato was exhibited by one farmer, who is clausely named by his wife. He says he expects to gather potatoes large enough to measure three potatoes to the bushel. There was a large exhibit from the academic, agricultural and mechanical divisions of the Snow Hill Institute, such as maps, drawings, composition work, tables, hammered wood drawings, drawn from skinks, skinks, skinks, etc., that were concrete illustrations o. the handwork of the Snow Hill students.

The knowledge however has certain organizations of our guard, qualities of its earlier days among those of the organization and the will for accord. Processing these qualification and will in record in service of the old outfit, the parish infantry has the makings of an organization capable of carrying on the traditions of the army and even efficiency as a dependant in the State military force.

Of this purpose elimination is necessary, particularly of officers who cannot be to your high standards. I am confident that the many plans you contemplation for the improvement of conduct, such as the increased administrative facilities, the adoption of a distinctive full-form and the project for an army building constitute to the members, an efficiency of your command. With every good wish for continual success of the regiment and with warm person I remain. Sincerely, EDWARD CLEMSTEAD Lt. Col. Acting Chief The excellent results registered at inspection have been attained by my effort alone, or by my unsupported of the officers or of the non-commission. Our good record demonstrates team work, and the effort and sacrifice of a high standard of almost in the regiment from the newest recruit to the officer. In 1877, I observed the 15th Infantry in camp at Postkakil, in the Memorial Day Parade and at Camp Wadaworth, and in January, 1919 saw them in France as the 369th U. S. Infantry at the Le Mans Forwarding Camp. On these previous occasions the command was organized for war and strong in numbers so that a comparison with the present regiment would be impropure at this time. The well-known case in all other of the 15th of today however has certain essential organizations of our guard, qualities of its earlier days among those being the spirit of the organization and the will for accomplishment. Processing these qualities and with great glorious record in service of the old outfit, the present 15th Infantry has the makings of an organization entirely capable of carrying on the traditions of its predecessor and even exerting its efficiency as a dependable element in the State military forces. The inspection just completed indicates that you are to be congratulated on the present personnel. All appear to be proud and willing, of soldierly behavior and present an excellent appearance. Major Wm. R. Wright who was an Inspecting Officer for this year and 1919 reports marked progress since the previous inspection. It is, understood that most of the inefficients and dead wood generally have been eliminated so that the personnel present at inspection (and the percentage of absentees was small) constitute a nucleus capable of becoming a splendid command a credit to their race and to the State military establishment. It is probable that further elimination will be necessary, particularly of officers who cannot measure up to your high standards. I am confident that the many plans you have in contemplation for the improvement of conditions generally, such as the increased administrative and welfare facilities, the adoption of a distinctive full dress uniform and the project for an armory building will all contribute to an increase in the members, influence and efficiency of the regiment. With every good wish for continual progress and success of the regiment and with warm personal regards, I remain. The excellent results registered at inspection could not have been attained by my effort alone, or by the efforts, unsupported of the officers or of the non-commissioned officers. Our good record demonstrates team work, and the personal effort and sacrifice of a high standard of almost every man in the regiment figure the newest recruit to the commanding officer. From the bottom of my heart I thank you. We have taken our first objective. We are winning our way. Col. Olmstead's letter is in general terms, and covers a broad field of investigation. For the interest of the members of the regiment, I set down a few of the points most easily understand which contributed to the prompting of the complimentary statement of the Inspector. Personnel of the regiment was about 84 per cent. Of the 16 per cent (approximately) of absentees, more than half were satisfactorily "accompanied for." Last year the record of attendance was about 54 per cent. In the foregoing reported percentage of attendance the Brooklyn battalion is eliminated. The attendance of the Brooklyn battalion was only about 52 per cent. Every man was in uniform on time at formation.

Major Wright, the Assistant Inspector of the Division, stated that the change in the spirit and the bearing of the regiment was the most impressive and refreshing improvement that he had made all his military experience—and his experience covers over 25 years. Favorable comment was made by inspecting officers upon the personal solderly bearing of the men—particularly in relation to the stamp and precision of their courteous to officers they resentment them as though proud to do so, which in all courses, the true basis upon which this important function of military bearing should be established. The value is an honorable privilege between soldiers and should never be misunderstood as discriminating objectivism of service. Bear in mind that first primes the profiling of making in wicked, in some regiments the attitudes are rendered arrogant. On occasion, inspectors have the revival advised that in the presence of such officers the regiment should be freed of the organizations inspected by him this year. give farmers of this section of the Black and Alabama to respond to the twenty-fourth day of February to review the programs of the farmers for the plant required for soil deposition to as far as possible. Please present common actions to begin first hand, their own story of the beginning they have so far, the information they have received, the information they have received, the purchase of a farm, owe a dwelling, build a school house or to establish a school term, and to instruct the farmers in improved methods of cultivating the soil and raising stock; what to plant for home consumption and market, as well as do whatever in their own area to ensure uniform quality and education of the farmers in this section. Along with the farmers and their interest came Harry Simmons of the staff of agricultural experts of Tuskegee Institute, who delivered the principal address to the farmers, answering questions pertaining to their plant needs, and some instructions and suggestions generally that would lead there to successful farmland and better living. Under the efficient instruction of Mr. Simms, the meeting, from another viewpoint may well be considered a day in school for the farmers. They were high-tech and profit oriented and imitation to profit by what they had heard. The Negro Farmer's Conference, which is an extension of Snow Hill Institute, has proven a wonderful blessing to the Negro people. At one time it was the prevalent opinion that land could not be purchased at any price, and the great majority of the Negroes of this thickly populated district paid rent. Whole families lived in the typical well known one room log house, an enormous number of these log houses are still in evidence in remote sections, they are rapidly becoming a relic of the past. A great many farmers are still renting, but live in more comfortable houses. Others are no longer listed in the tenant-class Col. Arthur W. Little 15th N. Y. Infantry. Mm. duv.

Hodson, state agent in which he showed how to make possible an adequate supply of food and feed by increased soil fertility, water supply and fertilizer. The Soil-Secret" by Phil. Kliney of the state department was effective in that it posed out the erroneous methods of feeding and failure to grow the needed supply of the proper kind of food. The address by Dr. Atkins of Winston-Salem on "Social and Economic Life on the Farm" by Dr. John B. Dawley of "Farmers' Food and Food Budget" by John D. Wray, farm managers' client agent and secretary Farmers congress, opened the eyes of the farmer when his attention was called to the elaborate exhibit showing what farmers should do to improve their food supply by buy on a table, about the size of a man's hat. The second address by Prof. Klunser was on milk and it's products, while the second address by Prof. Hudson was on the selection of seed corn. The art instructor in the second address pointed out the old and new methods of farming and the abolished and modern machinery.

Blue Circle Notes The many, members and friends of The Circle for 'Negro Relief Inc., will be surprised to learn that The Circle has moved its headquarters to Harlem. Due to the financial depression over the entire country, the board of directors thought it the wisest plan to use every penny possible towards the actual carrying out of the program of paying nurses salaries for neglected communities and therefore it exerted itself towards finding cheaper headquarters. At the annual meeting, Miss Bella Davis, the executive secretary, was successful in cutting down the Fifth avenue rent to about $200 annually, due to the generous offer of Mrs. Leila Walker Wilson in being responsible for any deficits and to the renting of office space to other parties. At the last board meeting, Mrs. Wilson made a more generous offer to the extent of giving The Circle free office space at her place of business, 108 West 13th street, for at least a year or more. That means an actual gift of $1,100 annually towards the success of the organization as that was the annual rent on Fifth avenue. The Fifth avenue superintendent expressed himself as being extremely sorry for losing such a fine group of colored people and complimented the organization as being among the finest tenants ever known in the Depew Building. The SMITH'S HOME BAKERY 2288 SEVENTH AVENUE, NEW YORK CITY Circle had its birth in the Dupuy Building and for four years the landmark shown by the landmark in the way of low rent was most remarkable. The Circle regrets giving up its location on it twice at the most popular intersection of Fifth avenue, but if it month the placing of another office for renovation at it present. The Circle is using dark space given by Two New York Age until the renovations at 188 West 13th street are completed. Good things are happening right along for The Circle: Mrs. Anna B. Thomas, providing of National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses, and also assistant superintendent of Lincoln Hospital, is donating one-half day each week to the work of The Circle. Mrs. Thomas will act as superintendent of the nursing division. The selection of nurses, the reports of nurses, and the supervision of Circle nurses will be under the direction of Mrs. Thomas. Herstoree the whole pressure of the work has been upon Miss Davis, the Secretary, and it is quite a joy to her to know that she is to have a little relief. It is remarkable the way she managed the work alone and the way she kept donations coming in, in spite of obstacles. 135th Street Library Notes On Tuesday evening, March 1st, the Book Lovers' Club of the 135th street library held a very interesting meeting. Mr. Hubert of the Urban League gave a splendid review of "Passing of a Great Race" by Madison Grant. The meeting was thrown open for discussion and there was an enthusiastic response.

Urban Learns Notes The lecture course in social hygiene under the surpises of the Urban League is progressing splendidly. The increase in attendance at each lecture is remarkable evidence of the value and worth of this course to social workers and others. The lectures are held each Tuesday and Friday at 4 p. m. in the auditorium of the 135th street public library. This course is open to all, without charge. At a meeting of the executive board of the League last Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Arthur C. Holdman was elected to membership on the board.

Hubert and Victor R. Daly. The chief topic discussed was the situation in the garment trades. Joseph Schlosberg, secretary of the Almagated Clothing Workers of America, was the principal speaker. The opening lecture in the course on social hygiene being held at the 135th street branch of the Public Library under the auspices of the League proved to be encouraging. Upwards of fifty persons were present to hear Franklin O. Nichols deliver the first lecture on "The Scope and Method of Social Hygiene." The second of these lectures was on Friday, March 4th, from 4 to 5 p.m., by Dr. T. W. Calloway on "Sex-a-Major Factor in Human Life and Education."
