Says Sec'y Taylor Insulted Him In Public --Gives His Version of Controversy Between Board and Secretary.
Charging that Secretary Thomas E. Taylor insulted him in public without notification, Dr. William H. Brokks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, and move in bringing about the resignation of Mr. Taylor as secretary of the West Main Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, resigned as a member of the board at Friday's session.
300 WHITE EDITORS VISIT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. ALA.
Dr. Brooks has been on the Y. M. C. A board for twenty years. His associes referred to accept his resignation and have asked him to reconsider his termination to sever his confections. At Friday's meeting of the board Dr. Brooks told of having recently, met Secretary Taylor in public and extending his hand which Mr. Taylor refused to accept. Instead of greeting him cordially Mr. Taylor is accused of exorbitant pastor of St. Marks M. K. Church, giving him a hypocrite.
In connection with the charges which issued the board to demand Secretary Jayle's resignation, Dr. Brooks makes a拜年 statement to the public:
EMPLAINTS MARK FOR NEARLY A YEAR
Secretary Thomas E. Taylor of the Y.M.C.A. has not been requested to sign on the grounds of certain publications in newspapers. The published reports guard only incidentally in the case. The papers which make certain charges are responsible for these charges and whether they are true or false the board leaves, for the proper tribunal to decide. The complaints against the secretary have been before the board for nearly a year.
The first was that of visiting Saturday night dance and remaining until Sunday morning. Complaints came from parents and guardians that their children had attended said doctors and behandled until Sunday and excused themselves on the ground that the secretary of the V.A. C.A. was there. The case was approached with courtesy and in to the Board of Management and directed at the harmful influence on the world. His reply to the board was that he had gone and under similar circumstances would go again.
The more serious complaint was for relations with his secretary, andudy the complaints came after the complaint coerced the length several hours. But last month he passed over the product of the secretary, that he should use discretion and retain as far as possible from all local relationship with her, as both he and the young woman were already married. His secretary replied that the young woman was his social equal and included had no right to interfere with his personal affairs.
SUPERLAD FROM BOARD
The most serious complaint came during the Winter that the secretary had been seen leaving the home of the lady bitter one o'clock in the morning and another seen him leaving the apartment of the lady after I clock in the morning. Both of these complaints were acknowledged by the secretary at the board of Directors who further stated that he saw nothing inconsistent in such actions and those who did must have an opinion.
At the closing of the board Meeting January 21, when the white members had retired, the colored members repaired until 12 o'clock at night pleading, increasing, exhorting for the sake of the work and the race that the secretary would yield what he considered his personal rights for the larger good. The secretary refused to make a single concession single point. At this time publication had appeared in any paper and I think not one of us dreamed that there would not any publication. It was upon the foregoing grounds his resignation had been requested and "not upon newspapers' charge.
The ability and efficiency of the secretary have not been questioned. He has wrought magnificently and there is good position to detract a single tribe which rightly belongs to him. But there are some of us who put morality above efficiency.
In protest to what the secretary represents in his private and public life before the young men and women of New York City I have resigned from the board after these twenty years of retired service."
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—One of the most significant gatherings at Tuskegee Institute during the present year, was that of some three hundred members of the National Editorial Association, on Sunday, March 6. The party was entrusted to St. Augustine, Fla., to attend the annual meeting of the Association and at the invitation of Dr. R. R. M. Bonn principal, journeyed over to Tuskegee from Montgomery in a special train.
The editors arrived in the afternoon just in time to hear the Sunday afternoon concert by White Hall Law, a special program having been arranged in their honor. At the close of the concert the body visited and inspected the various buildings and points of interest in the grounds, including the tomb of Dr. Washington, the formations on the visit to the tomb, Washington Oddell Custis An, N. Y., said: The most important event of the day was the tomb of Dr. Washington the founder of this great institution may be dead, but his elder brother it was very planning to keep him alive and ability to keep him alive.
OWN TWO MILLION ACRES
Atlantic City, N. J.—Colored people in the United States now own two millions of acres of land and property values, amounting to a billion and a quarter dollars, Dr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the Slater and Jones boards stated in a recent address on "The Negro in Rural Education and Country Life" delivered before the Department of Rural Education, a recognized part of the National Education, Association.
MANY OUT OF WORK IN INDUSTRIAL CITIES
Eugene Kinchlee Jones and A. L. Jackson, executive and educational secretaries of the National Urban League, have just returned from a western trip visiting Urban Leagues and other cities where the league has placed workers. The trip included Basklo, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Polk, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City, where both secretaries spoke on large audiences and met in conference, with industrial and prominent social service leaders of both races.
Mr. Jones says that in Buffalo, Detroit and Chicago, there is considerable unemployment. Detroit is suffering, a calamity! Between 150,000 and 200,000 men are out of work in the opinion of the director of Social Service Department. Of this number more than 15,000 are employed. Four hundred colored families almost the total number are survived in Detroit so far as the charity lists of this department. No relief is expected in the next few months and it will take a year for the normal return.
In Chicago, very interesting and successful experiment is being conducted. The Chicago Urban League acts as a clearing house for all individuals and families who apply to the churches and other organizations on the south side. On applying to the league's office a card authorizing the applicant to receive lodging or meals is given, indicating the church or agency to which to apply. This reduces duplication and overhead expenses, thus enabling more persons to get the much needed aid.
During the last week in February, 1125 men and 203 women applied for such help, and 1924 meals, 600 lodgings were given. Jobs were found, however, for only 8 men and 34 women. Professor Granum Taylor of the "Chicago Communities" says of this effort: "Among the unemployed people of the south side the unemployment rate is higher with better effect because with more intelligence and cooperation, though men were more helpless and the agencies less resourceful."
"In Kansas City, St. Louis and Louisville, the situation is gradually becoming more hopeful, although these cities are not able to absorb any new comers. The Urban League in Louisville is operating, with the aid of the churches, a lodging house for unemployed men and in each of the cities, it is necessary to conduct campaigns to advise the Negroes to hold on to their jobs at this serious period.
There is a much more hopeful situation existing in Pittsburgh. While men have been thrown out of employment, the Negroes have become unemployed in amount the same proportion as the whites."
Two More Colored Police Officers
For Harlem
Of the seven additional police officers assigned to the West 135th street Station two, are colored. Before long it is predicted that over a dozen colored police officers will be assigned to the 138th Precinct Station alone.

Among those who spoke was Will Wilkie, editor of the Gazette at Gray Eagle Minnesota and president of the National Editorial Association, who said in part: "I am sorry all the people in the North do not have the advantages that you have here. We have one of the best universities located near us but they are not doing what you are doing. I would have regretted it very much but we not only have to碧雅 Knoxville, so can I nobody know did and I have enjoyed seeing it and I hope you will always mention that type of character which is being justified in you here at Teague University and which is so essential in citizenship."

Atlantic City, N. J.—In addressing members of the Department of Rural Education at a meeting held here recently. Dr. James Hardy Dillard, spoke interestingly of the big work in Educating Negroes in the rural districts.
Dr. Dillard said in part:
"Eight years ago county superintendents began to see the need of having in it; counties at least one good grade school that would go beyond the work of the one-room schools. The John F. Slater Fund, which until this time had not helped in the rural work, agreed to contribute $500 a year for the establishment of such schools in counties on condition that they be public schools belonging to the counties or district, that the term be eight months, that there be at least eight grades, and that the county or district board give $250 a year. Four schools were started in 1912. There were twenty teachers in the four schools and for their salaries the public school gave $1500. The Slater Fund $2000. 1913 there were again only four. Then the number began to increase steadily as follows, eight, seventeen, twenty-seven, forty-two, fifty-two, twenty, one hundred, and six, and this year there are 142 with R33 teachers and the counties are appropriating for establishment and support over half a million dollars.
NALARIES ON THE INCREASE
"A total of $553,701 is paid for salaries, of which the counties pay $347,888, and the General Educational Board is contributing $74,800 for making certain increases. In 1912 the average salary was only $267, this year it is $642. I have not yet the accurate number for the present session, but last year the number of pupils in the high schools grades was 1049. Those who go out from these beginnings of high schools are helping to supply the superintendent with teachers for his smaller schools—a makeshift perhaps, but still a great improvement. Along with these two life of work efforts, going another important agency of improvement, through the plenial liberality of Mr. Julius Rosenwald. From September 1, 1920, to January 31, 1921, it is expected that 226 School-houses will have been built at a total cost of $107,036. Of this amount, the colored people will have contributed $311,432. white people $121,830; public
Washington, D. C.-Initial steps to organize the official representatives of of thirty-six parent-teacher associations in the colofed school into a federation have been taken by officers of the various organizations, school building principals and teachers at a conference last week in the Dumbar High School. The suggestion that such action be taken was given the unanimous support of 350 persons who attended the meeting. Accordingly, Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of colofed schools, who presided, appointed a committee to organize the meeting. On this committee, I. C. W. C. W. Childs of the Summer School, Dr. D. E. Wiseman of the Luganda Mott School, W. H. Lewis of the Carfield School, John R. Quander of the Logan School and Clarence W. Tignor of the Bell School.
In organizing the federation Mr. Bruce pointed out that the idea is not to interfere in any way with the autonomy of any individual association, but to provide in the federated body a sort of clearing house or central representative body.
A committee also was appointed to draft standard forms which the various associations might use in order to present clearly to school authorities the needs of the various schools. This action was taken following a protected discussion of appropriations allocated the colofed public school system for buildings and grounds since 1906. This committee is present at H. D. Woodson, J. R. Robinson, John A. D. Davies, Charles R. R. Robinson, A. D. D. Woodson.

$210,800.
But more important than all these outside donations is the amount that is being spent out of public-san funds for smaller public schools and for the various State, Normal and Industrial Institutes and College. The amount, appropriated to the highest State cultural institutions for the program is given by the State. This will be paid for the service of the Sounding School for the session 1919-30 was $471,750, almost double the amount of eight years ago.
NEGRO EDUCATION MAKES PROGRESS
"These figures that I have given are enough to show that the work of education among the colored people is going forward at least fairly well. We do not hear as much about all this activity as we hear about lynching, yet it is there. The best of the work, as it perhaps always true of all the best work, is going on in a more or less quiet way, like the processes of nature, but it is all counting. In spite of prophets of evil, the educational condition of the colored people as . . . whole is steadily improving year after year, for we have spoken, because I have heard that the colored people are chiefly rural work, of the tremendous service that is being done by the various bodies religious to their institutions and colleges and by the various private institutions. These are all doing an important service even to the rural schools by helping to supply the heavy need and demand for teachers.
SACRIFICE FOR EDUCATION
"In many, many sections, however, the salaries of the rural colored teachers are still very low, the terms short, the school-house mere shacks. I heard a teacher say the other day that, if she and her pupils were far enough advanced, they could study geology through the floor botany through the sides and astronomy through the roof. But all along the lines there is notable improvement of the colored people than they contribute to their schools will some day be recognized as one of the remarkable features of this period of educational development and all things consider, the steady growth of white public sentiment in favor of a square deal for the colored people is little less remarkable."
Washington, D. C.-Mrs. Martha E. Tucker, for many years one of the ablest teachers in the Washington public Schools, died 14, in her Apartments at the Cameron Apartment House. She had been ill for several months but it was not thought that her death was impending. She leaves surviving her a daughter, Miss Lanie Tucker, and a nephew, G. Luther Segwur, both well known teachers in the schools of this city.
Mrs. Tucker retired as a teacher last June after having served as principal of two large grammar schools, the Randall and the Logan, for a long time with distinguished success.
Mrs. Tucker, belonged to one of the old families of this city. She was the daughter of George W. Wood and Mary E. Wood who lived at 413 B street, Southeast and whose home was used for its hospitality.
Femal services were held Wednesday afternoon, at 3 o'clock from the 15th St. Presbyterian Church.

WHITE PRESS STRESSES CRIME
Tuskegee Institute. Ala—In expressing the gratitude of Tuskegee Institute for the visit of three hundred bers of the National Educational Association, Principal R. K. Motion took the opportunity to deceive the practice of emphasizing crime among Negroes by white newspapers, Dr. Scoton said: "You are gathered here upright represent the real educators of America. Your opportunities for service or great; also your opportunities for harm. Nothing is doing my people more harm today than the practice of many newspapers of playing up Negro crime and referring to Negroes generally with levity.
LYNCH NEGRO AFTER
JURY FAILS TO AGREE
Vernaille, Ky.—Richard James, colored, was tried last week before Circuit Judge R. L. Stout for the murder, of Ben T. Rogers and Homer Nave, two distillery guards. Owing to the evidence, the jury reported to Judge Stout last Saturday it as ample to reach a verdict. Deciding a case of evidence did not please some citizens, who organised an automobile party and decided to have a big night; no a mob, composed of fifty persons, went to the Woodford County Jail, took the keys from John T. Edger, the jailer, and proceeded to James' cell. The prisoner put up a game fight, (something the jailer failed to do) but "heroic action" was taken by one of the "brute" members of the mob who launched James' senseless with a black-jack. He was then taken in a machine intersection of the Frankford and Milwaukee from Verwilson, and handed to a tree. Name of the members of the mob was identified by Jaider Edger. The two guards were killed while discharging the distillery from an attack by a party of armed men who were attempting to remove whiskey. It was thought by local authorities that James might have been a member of the party.
FUSHES NEGRO EDUCATION
DESPITE FINANCIAL LOSES
Enlargement and extension of the facilities in the eighteen schools and colleges for Negroes maintained in the South by the Methodist Episcopal Church, together with the receipt of $305,000 out of the Centenary Fund of that denomination, is reported in the current issue of the Christian Advocate, the Methodist weekly, by Dr. P. J. Macey, corresponding secretary of the Methodist Board of Education for Negroes, successor to the Freedman's Aid Society. This statement shows that of the $1,075,000 pledged for Negro education by the Methodist Centenary for a period of five years, at the end of the first year $230,000, over one-fourth the entire sum has been paid, in spite of the fact that the financial depression has cut down the Centenary collections to 72 per cent, of the sum expected.
The support given to the cause of Negro education by the leaders of the Methodist Episcopal Church thus exceeds that given to any other of the many pressing demands upon their funds and opportunities on the basis of complete collection. This loyalty in time of depression and shrinking has been much appreciated by the 350,000 Negroist, whose devotion to their church has been an outstanding feature of their group and was recognized in many speeches on the floor of the quadrennial general conference at Des Moines, May last, where two Negro ministers were elected bishop with full rank and power.
The Methodist Board of Education for Negroes supervises such institutions as Clark University, Atlanta, Ga.; Geo R. Smith College, Sedalia, Mo.; Wiley College, Marshall, Texas; Samuel Huston College, Austin, Texas; Rust College, Hot Springs, Miss.; Flint-Goodridge Hospital, and Nurses' Training and New Orleans College, New Orleans and Bennett College, N. C. At practically all of the institutions new buildings or extensions and repairs are either in process or in contemplation, according to Secretary Mavety.

HAVE DIFFICULTY IN RENTING STORES ON LENOX AVENUE
Photograph Studio, Mortgage and Loan Company, Automobile Concern and Business School Among Enterprises on Lenox Ave.
Among the reasons given for the slow increase in Negro business on Lenox avenue is the difficulty that Negro merchants find in recurring desirable locations on that street. In certain blocks it is claimed that the property owners have combined to keep Negro business out of these blocks, while several other blocks are almost wholly occupied by Negro business. The west side of Lenox avenue from 133rd street in 133rd street has only one white place of business.
Speakers at a conference of a "committee for the encouragement of cultural and business interests of occupied territories" which was formed under Government auspices and the first meeting of which was attended by under secretaries of the Foreign and Interior Ministries, declared the "manifold tales about the black shame" were incorrect.
Councillor Stemmler offered to furnish necessary material to refute these false stories.
Director Ruetten added that investigation by the Rhineland Traffic Association had shown that the stories of molestation of the population by the troops of occupation were untrue. Rhineland representatives, including the Mayor of Duisburg, coupled with this repudiation of the campaign which now is being waged so intensively in the United States a declaration of unshaken loyalty to the nation in the face of the new occupation of three Ruhr cities.

Walter Baker, the old Negro photographer in the city, has a large studio in the building at the corner of 133rd street and Lenox avenue. Mr. Baker's experience in this business began twenty-five years ago, and twelve years ago he began his own business on Lenox avenue, having been one of the first Negro businesses established in Harlem. The Baker Studio has trained a number of Negroes in this work, and last year the Baker School of Photography was organized as a state of this work. Mr. Baker now has a large number of pupils, and is planning to start his graduates in this business in all of the important cities of the South and West.
A few doors from this studio is the offices of the Family Merger Realty Corporation at 457 Lenox avenue. This company was incorporated a year ago to buy and sell apartments on the cooperative plan. The capitalization of the company is $10,000, which has all been subscribed. Since being in operation the company has purchased the to story apartment house at 48 and 50 west 129th street, which is stockholder by the twenty stockholders of the company of these families have already moved into this building, and the others are to move in, the first of May. The officers of the corporation are S. C. Jordon, president; Thomas Bryant, vice-president; C. S. Reid, treasurer; and Frank S. Hiper, secretary.
MORTGAGE AND LOAN COMPANY
the treasurer, C. S. Reid, was for 12 years the local manager of the H. V. Greene company of Boston. While with this firm Mr. Reid says how the Negroes of Harlem were being exploited by the other races and conceived the idea of organizing a Negro mortgage and loan company so that the Negro business man and property owner would not be compelled to go to white firms, to borrow money for his business, as the Negro was sometimes charged as much as 25 and 30 percent in interest and bonus for such loans. Mr. Reid recognized his position with the 14. H. V. Greene company, and last fall organized the Family Merger Real Estate and Security Corporation, which was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in December for $1,000,000. Since beginning the business, this company has, by loaning money to meet payments, succeeded in saving 4 houses for the Negroes of the city. The officers are the same as those of the Family Merger Realty company.
WOMAN CONDUCTS STUDIO
Another photograph studio in this block is the Toussaint Studio at 451 Lenox avenue. Mike Toussaint Welcome, the proprietor of this studio, is one of the best known artists of the race. During the late war Mike Welcome was distinction for her celebrated painting "The charge of the Colored Divisions," which was accepted by the government as a war poster. Her studio also produced the pictures for a historical history of the Nazi in the World War. The Toussaint Studio on Lenox avenue has been used for a number of exhibitions.

The Toussaint Auto corporation is in this building, and was organized a year ago by E. Toussaint Welcome. The company proposes to build a garage and repair shop, and to operate sight seeing cars among the colored people of Harlem. The Freewreck Douglass Sightseeing Company has been merged with the Toussaint Auto Corporation, and the three large sightseeing cars of this company will soon be operated again by the Toussaint Company. The company also plans to go into the trucking business, and to buy and sell vegetables and produce for the local market.
Other Negro business in this building include the Pozo-Ortiz Cuban Corporation—manufacturers of hand made Havana cigars, which employs five men for the large trade done in the city. Another business in this building is the pairing of etaohf etaohi etaohi taoi hridz Ada Overton Walker Pressing Club, under the management of C. Henry, which does all kinds of cleaning, pressing and repairing at very low rates.
FLEURRING BUSINESS SCHOOL
The New York Academy of business, in this block, is the oldest and largest Negro business school in the city. It was founded in 1909 by R. W. Justice in a single room at 234 west 134th street. The school grew and moved from place to place until the four story building at 447 Lenox avenue was purchased, and is now its present home. Here Stemography, Secretarial Studies, Civil Service Course, and preparatory courses are taught. A recent examination by the State Board of Regents resulted in the school becoming registered by that board as a business school. It is the only Negro business school registered by the State Board of Regents. Mr. Justice now has 200 students and has graduated several hundred students, who are now occupying places of residence in business institutions in all parts of the city. Most present students are disabled war veterans, who are receiving Federal Vocationality symp with shibita exaltationational Training there. The success of the school has been largely due to the efficiency and forewors of its forces and principal, R. W. Justice.
In writing of business on Seventh avenue several weeks ago, a few important Negro businesses on that street were not described. One of these establishments, The Bulah Company at 2190 Seventh avenue looked so much like a high class white dress shop that the writer passed by it several times before discovering that it was being run by a member of the race. The proprietor of this shop, Wm. Watson, was for a moment of years an employee of the French American Model Company on 39th street, near Fifth avenue, like Watson, with his wife, opened his retail establishment in Harlem about a year and a half ago with a small stock of goods. The store now carries a $10,000 amount of high class women's dresses, swim hats, and furs and numbers among patrons, some of the leading women in the race.

The twenty-ninth day of February:
Mrs. Motson was born on that very day.
But how long ago are we afraid to say?
In response to this summons some thirty of the friends of Mrs. Motson gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lake Imes recently, recently witness the presentation of moving pictures in Mr. Motson's "doll," really a delight to Mrs. Motson on her birthday and pay tribute to her worth and the helpfulness of her presence and service at Tuskegee Institute.
In spite of the tacet that the other members of her family had been left into the secret, there was some difficulty in getting the guest of honor to be present, due chiefly to one fact that, Dr. Moton himself said, the guest had detained very much longer than was expected, and so could not be present, as was true also of others who went away with him. Finally, she was commanded to be present and in due time put in her appearance. Still things went on as at former 'movie parties' and the guests were in theaters in getting the apparatus to work properly-nor was that annual in itself. To relieve any embarrassment the guests joined in some of the games that used to figure in birthday parties 'several' years ago. Meanwhile the host was anxious about getting later and, later, Mrs. lines thought it just as well to serve the 'buffet lunch' that had been planned for the conclusion of the movies. The guests didn't mind and Mrs. Moton by this time was entirely at her ease, yase for some quietly when perplexed complaints about the guests attending at games like children, when she ought to be at home with her own children.
But by the time the salad course was served the hands had moved to 2.15 and Mrs. Imes acceded to the suggestion that the movies be put on them and the remaining course served afterwards. So saying, the guests were led upstairs to the den" where they were providedable difficulties, so it was necessary to substitute stereotipion slides for movies and legged indulgence of the guests. When all had arranged themselves on the dress, chain, couches and the floor even, the invitation above was thrown on the screen and for the first time Mrs. Moson heard or even guessed that the affair was being held in honor. Bartle was in succession a varied assortment of verses composed by each guest as a tribute to the guest of honor—three thrown on the screen where all in the party could read them at first hand. Some were witty and at each tally the guest of honor and author were greeted with laughter and applause. All of them were great friends and all of them selecting the esteem and affection in which Mrs. Moson is by everyone at Tuskegee listening. Of the witt, ones these lines are characteristic:
"Her eyes are like a cavern deep,
Her voice like gentle rain.
Her movements slow and graceful.
But the can can raise some tears."
More grave were the fine that came at the last:
"May Heaven's blessing rest on them
And all those hallowed years.
On husband true, and loved, too.
And loving children dear.
May sweet ceremony be the last,
And grace, and love,
And wailfulness, with poignancy,
Increasing year by year."
After these came three telegrams from the guest who had been called out of service from Dr. Morimoto himself. These were given to Mrs. Moton, who read them to her tracing, and they in turn wouldn't stir all she had tried to satisfy them with a speech. Then they discovered that it was really a surprise, for she herself had not met that the 20th had arrived. They also discovered how deeply she was touched by the kindness of her friends and the simplicity of their lives. By expressive gestures she had the insultation of the hosts there were no presents; the verbs took their place.
Down stairs they all went after the leading the lady to the dining room where for the first time she saw the birthday cake crowned with her monogram
flowers. This she cut herself and served with ice cream and strawberries, while her friends with laughter and good cheer extended congratulations. Finally there was brought forth a beautiful hand-decorated counter card adorned with flowers, which the guests attached their several signatures before the party dispersed. The clock stopped shortly after this, so that no one knew just what time it was when they began leaving for their own homes. But every one was happy; only Mrs. Moton had not allogether recovered from the surprise and the emotions stirred by the and touching tribute of her friends.
It is five years now that Mrs. Motton has been in Tuskegee Institute, presiding over the Principal's interest and sharing with him the interests and activities of the school in that side of the life of the school in which the accomplishments and talents of faculty members and students find expression in forms that combine the artistic and cultural with recreation and entertainment, and the educational and entertainment she planned and directed the staging of an elaborate historic and patriotic pageant on White Hall Law for the entertainment of the summer school teachers and school community on the Fourth Street that has been built and is in successful completion and are looked forward to as the events of the summer season.
In the Woman's Club she has arranged and presented programs unique in their conception and always delightful to the spectators. In the last, under her direction, the ladies of Virginia gave a graphical presentation of the history of that state setting forth the new novel characters of bish races, and something of its natural resources. It was all beautifully spectacular and at the same time highly instructive. Taking Dr. Washington as the outstanding character of Virginia in recent years, a beautiful white was paid to her by the Woman's Club, and received by the Women's Club, for her faithful and devoted services to her great husband and to his work.
Earlier in the year the whole school was delighted and inspired by an evening's program offered by Mr. Charles Winter Wood at the request of Mrs. Winter Wood, of which there were in large part her valued students. Wood, a member of the Institute faculty, who is widely known to the public for his accomplishments as a dramatic reader, presented a program such as he usually tends when traveling with the Institute quarterate in the interest of the school, together with "Scenes from the School," a program of Drink-writers' "Limousine." This program was designed by Mrs. Matson both as entertainment for our school community and as the occasion to acknowledge the very useful service of Mr. Wood to the Institute through many years, as librarian, and later as director of campaign work. She served also to introduce Mr. Wood, and to introduce Mrs. Wood to the Institute, to the student body most of whom know him only by rever
In other and quiet ways, Mrs. Motton has given herself to serving the needs of others. One of the guests at her birthday party described her as "the who's mother to all human kind." About the community she visits the hopes of those who are in distress, and in a hundred ways looks to the comfort and well being of teachers and students alike. She has no official position in the Institute, but that has in no sense limited or limited her activities. As the writer of the Principal to goose another guest: "the heart of her husband both safely trust in her." Outside the Institute she has been called on repeatedly for service in Women's and the Inter-Racial Commission, whose purpose is to centralize and help relations between the races in the South. Reports from a meeting of women under the auspices of this commission at Memphis agree in the highest praise for Mrs. Motton, or the strongest and forward looking book of the imagination and drama of the colored women of the South.
Quiet and undisturbed in her manner, Mrs. Motion is nevertheless, a persistent and intelligent worker in all that connection and in her care. Yet it is in her home, her husband and her young children, and among her friends, who are all
THE NEW YORK ARE, SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1921
who know her; that she entertains her great-
cat influence and owns the strongest al-
legiance. One of the guests who could
be the grapple, summed up in her verse
what is generally said of Mrs. Moton
when her name arises in conversation:
"There are friends that are kind and thought-
ful. There are friends that are warm and true;
But of all the friends in the wife, wide and
world, there is none more loyal than you."
A CORRECTION
An error appeared in our issue of February 11, in which we stated that P. Perez and L. Casanova of the Dunbar Cigar. Coat, 241. Seventh ave. were Porto Ricans. They are Cuban-Americans, and Mrs. Casanova. The company has been stated. After five weeks of business the demand for Dunbar Cigars is so great the company has been compelled to transfer its factory to larger quarters, for which it is very thankful to its patrons. The company hopes to satisfy them in the future, as well as to inspect the factory now located at 249. Seventh ave.

MISS ALICE G. WRIGHT
DIES IN JEFFERSON CITY
On Saturday March 5, death stole in
the quiet chambers of Miss Alice C.
Wright at Jefferson City, Missouri, and
bore her gentle spirit back to its hea-
venely ather, then bringing to a close
and inspiring career or one of
the first colored teachers in New York

which later became Public School No. 90. Here she taught for thirty-three
years, becoming head of department after
While still a mere girl she joined the
Broadway Tambacchere Church and here
continued her membership for over
forty-five years. At all times she was
the consistent Christian, a friend to
the friendless, a help to the helpless and a
friend to the helpless. Nor did she
let her right hand know what her left
hand was doing.
Miss Wright was the founder of the Hope Day Nursery and a director in many charitable institutions, and organizations. She practically raised her sisters orphan children, to whom she dedicated her life. She lived Miss Wright's health began to fail she left this city and went to Jefferson City to be with her beloved niece Miss L. Williams, art instructor a Lincoln Institute.

TUSKEGEE STUDENTS
GIVE RACIAL PROGRAM
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—That the Negro boy and girl have every right to the proud of their race was fully and fairly shown by the splendid program received at the senior class of Tuskegee Institute in Chapel Monday evening. The team "Negro Night" was applied to the evening as the program consisted of selections concerning the Negro. Orations delivered pertaining to every phase of Negro development, achievement and contribution to these numbers, musical addition to these numbers, musical written by Negro composers were rendered, among which were compositions by Harry T. Burleigh, J. Rosamond Johnson and two students of Tuskegee William L. Dawson and Alonzo P. Smalls. The program was inspiring and interesting as well as instructive. The senior class and J. A. Wilson, head of the English Department, deserve much credit for the unique program which was in keeping with the general mowing of the children of race—by teaching the children of pride more about the real achievements and contribution of the Negro—by using Negro Literature in Negro schools.

NEGRO WEEK AT THE
A. AND T. COLLEGE
Greenboro, N. C.-Delving down into the archives of history, sacred and profane, we do not find the rise of any race more remarkable than that of the American Negro. Fifty-eight years ago he was a slave, yielding to the tash and ture of his people, and finding him in almost every avenue of life from the highest to the humblest. And so the president and faculty of the A. and T. College decided to set aside a period of three days from Wednesday to Friday during the week of February 13th, to celebrate his achievements.
On Wednesday night, a declaratory court was held between the members of the prosecution and the judge of which was J. H. Holloway of the fourth year trade class. All of the productions delivered were by the leading orators of the race.
On Thursday night, an oratorical contest was staged between the members of the college department, the judge's position being rendered in favor of Ralston Harper of the freshman class.
His subject being: "The Second Emancipation."
On Friday night, the last celebration, Dr. Benjamin brawley, a well known race leader, formerly dean of Morehouse College, delivered the address: Our Race, Our Country and Africa. Brawley depicted the condition, existing in Africa, telling how the British Government took advantage of the ignorance of our people over there. This celebration will always be stamped indelibly on the minds of the student body of A. and T. College and the Negro citizens of Greenboro who witness the achievements of the race within our young men to grander and nobler accomplishments.

THE CRITICS ANSWERED
THE CRITICS KNOWN
"I believe the Negro citizens of
America should be guaranteed the
enjoyment of all their rights, that
they have earned the rights of
churchship bequeathed, that their
acrifice is good on the battlefields
of the republic have enslapped
the freedom and opportunity,
all of sympathy and aid that the
American spirit of fairness and justice
demands."—(Senator Harding
at Marion, Ohio. July 22.)
This utterance by the President-elect should be sufficient answer to those carping critics of the press who are inclined to question the disposition of the coming Administration to give a square deal in the political recognition of all elements of American citizenship.
A JOB FOR THE POLICE.
One of those little chores of Spring cleaning incident to this season of the year, which calls for the attention of the municipal house cleaners, is the cleaning away of the human driftwood that collects around the gaping mouth of the subway system. This living storm and jetstream thrown up by the side of human travel or attracted to the banks of the stream, not only obstructs the regular traffic but affords a vantage ground for the collection of public nuisances. Especially is this noticeable at the entrances on Lemox avenue at 135th street, where individuals gather in the crowd who annoy and insult female passengers by suggestive remarks and offensive actions. Not all the loiterers may indulge in this vicious pastime, but there is a sufficient number to make the operation of entering and leaving the subway an unpleasant ordeal for the decent self-respecting girls and women, who are obliged to use this means of travel to and from their daily work.
The only means of abating this nuisance is to keep the subway entrances clear of all litterers. Let the police enforce the command to move on to the groups of talking tailor's dummies that daily ornament these entrances. The exercise will do them good and at the same time renew the traveling public of an unwelcome obstruction as progress.
A NEW DEAL SOUTH.
A NEW DEAL SOUTH.
At its recent meeting held in Washington, the Republican National Committee took action looking toward the reorganization and building up of the party in the South. A subcommittee was appointed to visit the different Southern States and to hold meetings and confer with various individuals as to the means to be adopted to arrive at this end.
The necessity for a movement of this sort is not to be disputed. Much depends, however, on the spirit in which the task is entered upon and the degree of fairness and impartiality with which it is carried out. The tendency among some Republicans, notably those of the Lillywhite brand, is to endeavor to make the Republican party in the South a party, for white voters only, in which it would differ in no degree from the Democratic party. Evidence of this tendeny was furnished in the last campaign in North Carolina, Arkansas, Florida and other States.
The Negroes since the days of reconstruction have furnished the voting strength of the Republican party in the South, while the whites have furnished most of the leadership and in some cases endowed to monopolize it. The name procedure has been applied to the offices, whenever a Republican administration has controlled the patronage. There is need for the exercise of a square deal in this matter. The Lily-whites will undoubtedly try to influence the representatives of the National Committee to har the Negroes from participation in any reconstruction of the party on strictly color-lines. To avoid this, the representative citizens of the race, both men and women, who are anxious to exercise the ballot, must get touch with the members of the National Committee and present their side of the case. They must be insistent upon the fact that while they do not pretend to dominate the party, they do want to cooperate in any reorganization and be assured of their rights as citizens and voters.
There is too much apathy and indifference among the masses of the race in attending for a change of conditions, just only in politics, but in the lack of proper railroad accommodations and other vital matters. We find frequent appeals in the Negro papers of the truth for the men of the race to pay their tax, so that they may be entitled to vote in local affairs. The other members have taken appropriate
of this passing negation of the Negro to claim his rights, as an admission that the race is satisfied in present conditions. They go on further to ask that as soon as the masses of the Negroes show that they really want and are prepared to contend for all proper rights and privileges, these rights will be accorded to them.
In the meantime it would be well for the thinking Democrat of the South to consider seriously the master of making a just recognition of the Negro as a citizen and as a voting factor. This has been done by a limited extent by certain local Democratic leaders in municipal affairs in Tennessee and Kentucky. Such a policy carried into State and National politics would result in a division of the vote that would make for healthier conditions in both the great parties.
The great need at the present is for an honest, aggressive leadership to serve the vital interests of the race and to secure an impartial hearing and square deal in the reconstruction of party policy, now impending.
VARDAMAN YAWPS AGAIN.
Every now and then James K. Vardaman who rattled about for six years or more in the United States Senate, in the seat once occupied with dignity by the late B. K. Bruce of Mississippi, emits a feeble yawp to show that he still drags out a missive existence. In a recent issue of Vardaman's Weekly, his medium for assailing the public since the Congressional Record ceased to print his raucous abutilions, he had the following to say about lynching:
The people in Georgia seem to the very industriously employed nowadays in molding Negroes. The press a few days ago contained a statement that a Georgia girl narrowly and kindly jerked chapped an assault on a 15-year old Negro girl. He was captured by a posse of whites and blacks, as the story goes. Now, I think it quite proper to lynch a white woman who commits rape on a Negro woman, but I am opposed to whites and blacks operating in conjunction. The fact of the business is, I am opposed to Negroes being permitted to lynch a Negro even if he commits rape upon a controlling force in this country, and I ought not to permit a Negro to take part in the execution of the law, either lynch law or otherwise. The whole trouble is, the Negro does not understand that he will take an ell, and if you do not stop him he will carry the whole country to hell.
Vardaman still remains the brutal and unabashed exponent of the "hill billy" in the advocacy of mob violence and lynch law as the privilege of the dominant race, the badge of the white superiority he prates about.
And this is the stuff out of which the South made United States Senators. The Negro has very little for which to thank President Wilson, but one of the things, that should elicit race gratitude is that Mr. Wilson's opposition prevented the return of Vardaman to the Senate.
CHURCH AID TO EDUCA TION
The work of Negro education in the South owes much to the efforts of the various religious bodies of the North. The grudging and inadequate provision in this matter made by most of the Southern State governments has thrown the burden of sustaining many of the higher grade schools upon individual and religious support. The members of the race in the South have not only paid the state taxes for the support of schools but in addition have paid out of their pockets to secure the teaching that the state failed to provide.
The necessity for this outside aid for Negro education still exists and grows larger with the increasing demand for added facilities. In view of these conditions it is gratifying to find such a great religious denomination as the Methodist Episcopal Church planning an enlargement and extension of the facilities provided by the eighteen schools and colleges it maintains in the South. The receipt of $305,000 for that purpose, out of the Centenary Fund of that denomination, was reported in a recent issue of the Christian Advocate, by Dr. P. J. Mavety, corresponding secretary of the Methodist Board of Education for Negroes. This statement shows, despite the fact that financial depression has put down the Centenary collections to 72 per cent of the sum expected, that of the $1,075,000 pledged for Negro education for a period of five years, over one-fourth had been paid at the end of the first year.
The 350,000 Negro Methodists who are composed in this religious organization will undoubtedly appreciate this loyalty to the cause of education in the South. The recent policy of this denomination in racial matters in view of the negotiations with the Southern wing for reunion, has been the subject of much criticism. The election of two Negro bishops at the last quadrennial conference and the attention given to educational extension has done much to inspire new confidence in its purposes, so far as the race is concerned:
PREVENTING THE PEST
The most important part of the fight against disease nowadays is the work of prevention. The old problem about the stitch in time that saves nine, is put in practice by the health authorities who strive to guard the people of the cities against plague and pestilence. All immigrants must undergo quarantine and medical inspection before entering the city to prevent the introduction of typhus and other deadly diseases that are ravaging the European countries.
Just as New York State is raising the bars against typhus and plague carriers, New Jersey is seeking to prevent the spread of a sexual preference to the population.
A despatch from Paris states that large audiences in the French capital are gathering around to hear the words of a new prophetess, Mlle. Marguerite Wolf.
Mlle. Wolf is making some astounding utterances. She declares that she lived as long as 800,000 years ago; that she has not only lived on earth, but that she has lived on Mars and Venus. She describes life on these other planets.
She prophesies that Christ will be born again in a Jewish family in the district of Montmorency, just outside of Paris, on December 25 of this year. She further says that in 1954, when He is thirty-three years old, the Christ who is to be born next Christmas day will be killed by a blow on the forehead from a stone thrown by a Roman Catholic. This has naturally put the Catholics against the prophetess.
She claims that she remembers the world before the Flood. She tells not only what has happened, but what the future holds.
If a woman making such claims as are made by Mlle. Wolf were drawing large crowds around her in Haiti or Liberia, the average reader would immediately put it down to the innate ignorance and superstition of Negroes.
THE ONLY SOLUTION.
due of the Flint (Mich.?) Saturday of the Negro question. Mr. Cole, treats the question from all when he had finished he had to, he lays down the definite state of white Americans, through introspection as defined as the Frenchman of the white American will be living able to eliminate the black-by-race to eliminate him by deportation, freed man.
It he follows by what appears, and black are going to stay in undefinite period, the races mild; and if concord be the goal's good points and emphasize standard solution of the problem, he preaches anywhere and at all at Saturday Night proceeds as even this "Golden-Rule" so will not perform his part. Sign carried on generally by the same day, the conscience of the due, he adds: "I don't believe does not work in that direction; we fully agree with Mr. Pope the American white people will need people have been patient at it is only just that we give them sustained by such a hope in trusting a nature that he himself, but they are not coming in itself, before he gets through it is arguing in a circle. He said that however I try to get around the up against a brick wall. The benzenas of the United States even the certain quarters, and under social. Moreover, they are gaining in the native whites; they have made two generations as free men, and further, both in numbers and infinity they will be denied political rights elsewhere as long as the white so holds out hope to the converse."
The confession of defeat in his effort adversely stumbles across the solution when he says: "far they go, they will be denied social privileges elsewhere as loyal stick."
The whites can make the denial. The Negro will be denied his rights can make the denial stick, whites will be unable to make the nearer. The truth involved in American Negro must get through the easier it will be for him. He get his full rights and privilege for them, or merely being only when the dominant majority them.
Truth here is that the Negro man world who are without power is no exception. The American to make it hazardous for an citizenship and human rights. Power by which men achieve a force. The situation in which people him to find the equivalent in organization, in that no one will attempt to the race without counting the c
at Mich. Saturday Night there was a question. Mr. Arthur Pound, the question from a number of points, finished he had merely run around in the definite statement that the yeasicans, through intermarriage, reduce the Frenchman of today, but that siean will be living a black American, the black-by cross-breeding, and him by deportation, or in any other way what appears to be his solution going to stay in America as while, the races must choose between record be the goal, each must attempt and emphasize those while over of the problem, the "safe and safe anywhere and at any time. But the night proceeds almost in the next Golden-Rule" solution by declaring in generally by the American Negro conscience of the country will give: "I don't believe it will; our nai in that direction at all."
Free with Mr. Pound. We have no white people will say to themselves we been patient and industrious and that we give them their full rights, such a hope is merely proof that a nature that he needs a guardian are not coming in that way. We get through with his article, as a circle. He says: "try to get around the Negro problem, brick wall. The blocks are here to United States even though not allowed, and under social difficulties pracies they are gaining in population sometimes, they have made very consider as free men, and they are sure to numbers and influence. But, how-owed political rights in the South and long as the whites can make the hope to the contrary is no true defeat in his efforts to find a solutions across the only solution. He he says: they will be denied political rights elsewhere as long as the whites make the denial stick." Those are the denied his rights and privileges the denial stick, but no longer; and unable to make the denial stick in truth involved in this assertion is must get through his head, and the be for him. He must realize that rights and privileges in this country by merely being worthy of them, dominant majority is no longer able that the Negro must possess powers without power are without rights. Option. The American Negro must hazardous for anybody to interfere with human rights. With men achieve and maintain their situation in which the American and the equivalent of physical force, organization, in an organization so will attempt to ignore or infringe at counting the cost.
In a recent issue of the Flint (Mich.) Saturday Night there was a long discussion of the Negro question. Mr. Arthur Pound, the writer of the article, treats the question from a number of points of view, but after all when he had finished he had merely run around in a circle.
To begin with, he lays down the definite statement that the year 3000 A.D. may see white Americans, through intermarriage, reduced to a type as clearly defined as the Frenchman of today, but that side by side with that white American will be living a black American; that it is impossible to eliminate the black-by cross-breeding, and equally impossible to eliminate him by deportation, or in any other way open to civilized man.
This statement he follows by what appears to be his solution: that since white and black are going to stay in America as white and black for an indefinite period, the races must choose between discord and concord; and if concord be the goal, each must attempt to grasp the other's good points and emphasize those while overlooking faults.
This is the standard solution of the problem, the "safe and sane" solution that can be preached anywhere and at any time. But the writer in the Flint Saturday Night proceeds almost in the next breath to knock out even this "Golden-Rule" solution by declaring that the white man will not perform his part. After commenting on the quiet campaign carried on generally by the American Negro in the hope that some day the conscience of the country will give black citizens their due, he adds: "I don't believe it will; our national conscience does not work in that direction at all."
On this point we fully agree with Mr. Pound. We have no idea that some day the American white people will say to themselves, "See here, the colored people have been patient and industrious and loyal and faithful, it is only just that we give them their full rights." For any Negro to be sustained by such a hope is merely proof that he is of so simple and trusting a nature that he needs a guardian. The rights are coming, but they are not coming in that way.
Mr. Pound himself, before he gets through with his article, acknowledges that he is arguing in a circle. He says:
"I contiess that however I try to get around the Negro problem, I find myself slap up against a brick wall. The blacks are here to stay; they are citizens of the United States even though not allowed to work at it in certain quarters, and under social difficulties practically everywhere. Moreover, they are gaining in population somewhat faster than the native whites; they have made very considerable progress in two generations, as free men, and they are sure to go a long way further, both in numbers and influence. But, however far they go, they will be denied political rights in the South and social privileges elsewhere as long as the whites can make the denial stick. Who so holds out hope to the contrary is no true friend of the black race."
However, in his confession of defeat in his efforts to find a solution, Mr. Pound inadvertently stumbles across the only solution. He stumbles across that solution when he says:
"But, however far they go, they will be denied political rights in the South and social privileges elsewhere as long as the whites can make the denial stick."
"As long as the whites can make the denial stick." Those are the key-words. The Negro will be denied his rights and privileges as long as the whites can make the denial stick, but no longer; and the day when the whites will be unable to make the denial stick is drawing nearer and nearer. The truth involved in this assertion is one which the American Negro must get through his head, and the sooner he does it, the easier it will be for him. He must realize that he is not going to get his full rights and privileges in this country by merely appealing for them, or by merely being worthy of them. He will get them only when the dominant majority is no longer able to keep him out of them.
The underlying truth here is that the Negro must possess power. Peoples all over the world who are without power are without rights. The American Negro is no exception. The American Negro must have sufficient power to make it hazardous for anybody to interfere with his common citizenship and human rights.
The primitive power by which men achieve and maintain their freedom is physical force. The situation in which the American Negro is placed compels him to find the equivalent of physical force. He must find that equivalent in organization, in an organization so strong and so united that no one will attempt to ignore or infringe upon the rights of the race without counting the cost.

MISISIPPII BOOMBANG.
The form system in Mississippi is literally going to need in the estimation of the Mirmingham, Ala., Times Plain Dealer, which attributes his economic wreck to the iniquities of the share croppers system by which the Negro tenants were reduced to poverty. In seeking a remedy for this condition, it says:
And not alone must there be square dealing between the white land owner and the black tenant, but the same must also extend its educational system. The State Superintendent of Education recently reported 30 educational high schools for whites and NONE for Negroes, the majority of which children against the white children in the state of Mississippi.
At each step the situation in Europe becomes more and more of a dilemma for the Allied Nations. When the conference met in London recently and the Germans refused to accept the reparation figures laid down by the Allies, and the Allies in turn refused to consider a counter proposition made by the Germans, the Allies reiterated their oft-repeated threat of invasion of Rhenish territory. The Germans countered by reiterating their oft-repeated threat of submitting to invasion before paying the sums assessed by the Allies. Thereupon the Allies moved their forces forward and took in more German territory, but so far nothing to their advantage seems to have happened. The Germans met them with passive resistance and thereby seem to be holding an even, if not an upper, hand. This incident brings up in an interesting manner the doctrine preached all through the war by pacifists. It brings up the question of what can an army do after all against the people who say, "Come on in, make yourselves at home. We cannot raise the amount of money you want; see if you can do it."
Following the occupation of Dusseldorf and other cities of Germany, there has arisen in the newly occupied region an industrial crisis. Factories have closed down on account of cancelled orders, and workers are being thrown out. Some of the French newspapers are holding Stinnes, the German Rockefeller, responsible for this situation. English opinion, however, is that the capitalistic class in Germany would not voluntarily stop making money merely to create a situation.
Italy was never enthusiastic about the further invasion of Germany, and it now appears that both France and England are convinced that the only effectiveness possessed by the policy of invasion was in using it as a threat, the threat which would frighten Germany into complying with the demands made by the Allies. It now seems clear that invasion, without producing fright in Germany, is of no avail in getting what the Allies want.
And what is it that the Allies do want? The only thing of any value to the Allies, especially France, just now is money, and the invasion of Germany does not produce money. In fact, it may cost the Allies money.
After all, it is a question of getting money, and money in American dollars, out of Germany—that is the problem of the Allies. France might be willing to take German coal because she has not sufficient for her neede, but if France takes pay in German coal the British coal miners at once lose one of their best customers. The same question arises with all the other methods by which Germany might be able to pay: If Germany pays in goods, it means that she will have to glut the markets of the Allied countries with German-made goods to the ruin of Allied manufacturers.
And so, we repeat, it is a question of getting money, not German marks but American dollars, out of Germany; and that is the insoluble problem because Germany has not got the money.
What European statesmen seem not yet to realize is the fact that it is not a question of how much Germany can be made to pay, but how much the Allies can afford to allow her to pay, that is, in anything except cash. For if Germany pays in goods, and that is all she can do, the more she pays, the more productive she becomes to the disadvantage of the other nations.
On the other hand, if Germany is compelled to pay in some other manner than the one in which she is best able to pay, it will mean the economic strangulation of the whole country, and the rest of Europe cannot survive if Germany goes bankrupt.
Mr. John Foster Dullies, formerly Consul to the American Peace Commission and member of the Reparations Commission and the Supreme Economic Council, put it very graphically a day or two ago at the luncheon of the League of Free Nations. Mr. Dullies said: "A hurricane has swept the world. We survey its ravages with sorrow. But do not let us make the capital error of supposing that everything will be restored if we only get up a new hurricane, provided that it blows from another direction." All right-thinking men agree that Germany, although the fault was not exclusively her own, should be penalized for having set in motion the great war which swept the world, and she ought to be made to pay as far as possible for the damage done. But far more important than penalizing Germany is the restoration and readjustment of Europe, and that is the object which should be the main consideration of European statesman.

both the rent and the rooms. The most that can be done under these conditions is to make as careful a selection as possible in admitting these roomers. One of the greatest helps toward a healthier and better family life in Harlem would be the provision of improved
With the fertility of the Delta—and Southern land in general, for that matter—sufficient to guarantee all hands a generous return, there need be far fewer. Square justice and a rounded educational program is the prescription—to be taken internally. The South is beginning to pay in loss of productive capacity for its unjust treatment of its Negro workers. It will continue to pay in one way or another until it finds out not only that honesty is the best policy, but that justice is due to all men.
SELECTIVE RENTING
The necessity for a proper selection in the matter of renting rooms to lodgers is one of the additional problems growing out of the housing shortage in New York, as well as in other large cities. Most of the apartments obtainable by colored tenants require a payment of rent beyond the normal earning capacity of the tenants. To meet this rental it is necessary to sublet one or more rooms of one apartment to lodgers or roomers.
As the chief requirement exacted of these sub-trants is the ability to contribute a sum that will cause the burden of the rest day, the result is too frequently the admission to the family apartments of individuals, whose manners and morals are a source of danger to family life. Especially is this true, where there are growing children in the family. The nature of such moral obliquity may be gauged by the experience of one matron who, interviewed an applicant for a room. After the terms had been arranged the applicant, in this case of the masculine gender, required if that included "privilege." When requested to explain, it seemed that the privilege included entertaining citizens of the opposite sex in his room.
The trouble is that the apartments available for respectable colored families were not constructed to meet their needs either in the number of rooms provided or in other particulars. This class of inmates have to take what is to be obtained, and in order to meet the expectations of a restrained daily lifestyle, they must be housed in other apartments.
both the rent and the rooms. The most that can be done under these conditions is to make as careful selection as possible in admitting these rooms. One of the greatest helps toward a healthier and better family life in Harlem would be the provision of improved apartments of two, three and four rooms, where each family could maintain its privacy and be free from the hurtful influences often incurred through the presence of outsiders.
In the Cleveland Gazette we find the Rev. Wm. A. Byrd endorsing Harry C. Smith, editor of the Gazette, for minister to Haiti. Now Editor 'Smith should recroicate by endorsing correspondent Byrd for the same post and the honors would be easy.
The Progressive Citizen of Texarkana, Ark.-Tex., makes the following suggestion for a May Day celebration: May day should be celebrated in Texarkana by ten thousand colored citizens of this town meeting together at some appointed l. or. and place, and each one pitching in a common pot or the launching of a first class department. That might be a better use for the dollars than blowing them in a railroad excursion or picnic. That ten thousand dollar pot would have a great attraction for the poker players, however.
In an editorial greeting to President Harding, the Southwestern Christian Advocate, an organ of the METHODist Episcopal Church, enumerated the wants of America's black millions, as follows: Liberty from Peonage.
We have earned and are entitled to all that the high concept of American citizenship is contradiction to the citizenship of that sectionalism whose fundamental purpose is a truncated citizenship for the Negro because he is a Negro, and determine to keep him a timid, brow-beat, subservient class in a porous free environment. We want to be men; not white men, be black men with all the privileges of white citizenship and the hardships that citizenship carries. That is well summed up, and when the black millions back up such assurances as this by showing that they really want those things, they will get them.

Housing conditions in New York must be even worse than in New York, according to an article in Philadelphia, Amersham. There are, probably, seriously affected renters the poor unfortunate Negro reason of, or through their stances, are compelled to movements. The majority of the movements, housing Negroes are separated by jealousy and the accommodation disgrace to modern sanitation organization. Houses are so unattractive it is often exceedingly difficult to a doctor within their doors.
Attics, shed kitchens, bathrooms even cellars are called upon to take the pockets of others of germ-breeding tested hell-holes.
The responsibility for the things is placed up to the Negro leaders, and the decision that the sooner they awaken from the apathy the better. A general uprising is called up, with the purpose of sanitary and livable conditions for those forced to live in tenements.

Sympathy for the Negro.
Are we as blind, indifferent, as the English were in the years preceding the passage of the Home Rule bill of 1814 and the Doobian Easter rebellion of 1819? The English believe so. Liberals on this side have a sympathy for the American Negro not unlike that of German Americans for the Irish. Grammans trip through the South was not grouped by a desire to muckraker; he was there because he had a sympathy for the Negro.

To most Americans Spender's treatment of the question would be considered eminent and devoid of sensation, but the British are greatly impressed and welcome the ever sympathetic Spender himself, said that the British are a strong business in Jaws and that they are more or less responsible for the black problem.

There would be frequent questions about breeding episodes. There would be legislative proposals of various kinds, and probably the government would send the whole question to a royal commission which would inquire and report. But in America, despite their courage and rights, there seems a curious reluctance to face the great problems of the future.
Britain Interwired in Nearby.
"Neither great party seems to have out a policy and stand by it, after the fashion of our parties in England. The result is that public opinion is left without guidance. It is not faced with a chance of polities. Now, we have various policies in regard to the black problem in our empire. South Africa has one and Jadin another. I do not say that they are perfect policies, but they are policies.
"America has no policy in regard to the black man. It might decide to disfranchise him. On the contrary, it announces in the Federal Constitution on no account is he to be disfranchised. Then in the State constitutions it proceeds to do so. It might put the Negro under a special law and confine him to special regions, as Boutin proposed in South Africa, "But it does nothing of the sort. It claims for him the full liberty and protection of an American citizen. Then it proceeds to stand aside while he is hanged and buried without trial. I will call this dangerous policy. It imposes it pro�ticly on the black man, and imposes it of arrogance and resentment while it plans no real restraint on a development which is growing more and more formidable every day."
The English are never likely to become the champions of the Negro to the extent a large section of the American public supports Sina Pbn. It is equally true that the British are unlikely to interfere in what Americans consider their domestic affair. But there is unmistakable evidence that the British are becoming increasingly interested in the future of the Negro.
THOMAS TALKS FOR Y. M.
C. A. DRIVE IN ATLANTA
Atlanta, Ga.—One of the notable incidents of the Drive for 3,000 members by the Butler Street Y. M. C. A. was the address delivered on February 27th at the Y building by Jose O. Thomas, field secretary of the National Urban League. Mr. Thomas spoke in part as follows:
The war gave us many new ideas and names for institutions. It was during the war that we discovered the need for Community and created what we called Community. I am not sure that I would give a clear definition of what the general idea of community center was. In my mind, however, the Butler Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. more nearly approaches my conception of a real community center than any other institution in our mind so far as it relates to the social and spiritual life of the whole people.

Until 1915 the Judges of the Children's Course had no place to which colored girls showing their first signs of waywardness could be sent for supervision and training pending permanent commitment or placing out into private homes, nor was there a place to which social workers could take a child who needed temporary shelter.
Following a survey made by a fellow of the Urban League, the Utopia Neighborhood Club, a group of colored women, realizing the need, raised the first five thousand dollars.
Through the benefaction of other friends sufficient additional funds were raised to make it possible to open a house at 15 West 131st street during the year 1915. Since that time 300 girls have been cared for. This house was kept open until 1919. In June, 1920 the Sojourner Truth House responded its doors at its quarters 170 West 130th Street. The new house has a capacity for 20 girls.

The Katy Ferguson House for unmarried mothers and other young colored women over sixteen years of age who are in need of temporary care was opened on July 30th, 1920. The house had been thoroughly cleaned and renovated and made most attractive for the comfort of the girls.

At the present time we are conducting a campaign to increase our membership of men and boys to 3000.

It has also been shown that the percentage of crimes is considerably reduced in commission where systematic and wholesome recreation is engaged in by the people.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
"The Love of Su Shong" One of the Season's Artistic Hits
Miss Cleo Desmond To Be Seen at The Lafayette In "Bought and Paid For"
Charles S. Gilpin Is Optimistic As To Future Success of Dramatic Stock
When the Lafayette Players are compelled to respond to four curtains calls at the end of the first act of "The Love of Su Shou" and at the rising of the curtain in the second and third acts the audience exudes its appreciation for the picturequeque and freshly-painted scenery by energetically applauding, the only conclusion that can be reached is there is an unusual dramatic offering at the Lafayette Theatre. This week might be aptly termed "Chinese Week" for tans, lantern and Chinese hieroglyphics greet the patrons upon entering the lobby. At the box office window the cashiers are attired in costumes worn by the women of China, as are the ushers who meet you at the door to escort you to your seat. On the stage eleven of the thirteen characters in the play represent disciplines of Confucius.
"The Love of Su Shang is in three
acts, a prologue and epilogue, all
full of tense moments and carries a
love story of absorbing interest. There
Miss Cleo Desmond To
Lafayette in
One of the biggest dramatic successes
ever scored at the Lafayette Theatre
was "Bought And Paid For" which the
management is bringing back for one
week's run commencing Monday, March
21 due to popular demand.
Another feature coincident with the production of "Bought And, Paid For" at the Lafayette Theatre will be the first appearance of Miss Cleo Desmond in the cast since her engagement in "Woman Against Woman" during Christmas week. Miss Desmond has been one of the highs at the Dunbar Theatre, Philadelphia, which is now playing to capacity audiences and where the Lafayette Players are decidedly popular. Others in the cast in "Bought And Paid For" will be Miss Edna Lewis, Walker Thompson, "Babe" Townsend, James H. Norman and Miss Ruth Carr.
Charles S. Gilpin Is Opt Future Success
Charles S. Gilpin, now appearing at the Princess Theatre in "Enjorer Jones," believes that dramatic stock companies should draw large crowds at the Lafayette Theatre, New York Dumbar Theatre, Philadelphia Howard Theater, Washington, D.C. and Avenue Theatre, Chicago. Mr. Gilpin, who was formerly a member of the Lafayette Players, has the following to say on the subject: "People want dramatic stock but they want plays that are up-to-date 'Broadway successes; no plays that have been dug up for their special benefit and have not even the appeal of a Broadway name to attract them."

is plenty of melodrama for those who take delight in seeing the hero do bodily harm to the villain in the end. It cannot be recalled when the stage settings at the Lafayette have been more appealing to the eye. Miss Evelyn Ellis, as Su Shong has one of the best parts ever assigned her as a member of the Lafayette Players and her portrayal of the character will not be easily forgotten. It cannot be recalled when Miss Ellis looked so fascinating either.
William (Rabe) Townend, as Fong Kee, has a difficult role which he fills convincingly. J Wilbert Heinning is a newcomer who bears, watching. This week he takes the part of the priest of the temple. Walker Thompson, Darrington Carter, Harry Plater, Harrison, Jackson, James H Norman Henry Pleasant, Miss Inez Clough, and Miss Ola May Taylor figure prominently in helping make "The Love of Su Shong" one of the real artisans registered by the Lariayette Players in Harlem this season.
To Be Seen at The "Bought and Paid For"
There is plenty of punch situations in "Bought Andy Paul For" and the four important roles each represent a different and distinct type. First there is *Virginia Blain*, the delicate and refined little telephone operator who marries the self-made king of finances. Then there is *Jammy Gilley*, the most perfect specimen of genuine "Mutt" ever placed behind the toodlights. *Robert Stafford*, the mair who fought his way from the gutter to a place of financial convenience, as another types *Jonah*, the steward of *Virginia Blain*, is a pretty, hearted girl of the shops, on whose shoulders retinence will never rest with ease, but she would willingly give her last cent to help a comrade in need.
"Bought 'And Paid For" will be put on with a marked attention to detail which the management has been giving to its production within the past, few weeks.
Autimistic As To Success of Dramatic Stock
They want to see those plays done, people realize they must have students of the drama and those with talent but no training; but the do object to a whole show, keep by amusement. They like musical shows and will pack the house, but the week following must have a doubly strong show to attract.
They like comedies, in a word variety but each change be of the best of its kind and I am thinking the Quality Amusement Corporation will have found the secret of attractions for the Lauteville, "Dunbar, Howard and Avenue theatres."

Sinclair, the Mascot, was the best of all who entered the game the last four minutes to play. Chieftain Lightweights are in the lead of eight games for championship of New Jersey.

The Chieftain Lightweights would like to play one or two games in New York this season with the trading team, Write, W. L. Boseen, ZL Park, etc.
THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1921
COLS, MAYORDO, LITTLE AND
SCHEFFELIN TO SEE BOOTS
One of the greatest gatherings that ever entered the armory of the 15th Infantry will be on hand next Tuesday evening. March 2nd, when the preliminary contests of the 15th Infantry boxing tournament will be staged. The semifinals and finals will be completed the following Friday evening. March 25th.

It undoubtedly will be a pleasing sight to see the three Colonels at the ringside.
PSTIC. BIRD. WORKS IMPORTER
An amateur boxers are noted for their ability to furnish fast and furious battling and there is every reason to expect that the 15th Infantry tournament will be no exception to the general rule. In fact the class of boxers who have entered in this series of bouts are the classier lot that have appeared collectively in an amateur boxing tournament in this City in many months. Therefore, it is almost a certainty that the preliminaries next Tuesday evening will be full of thrills from beginning to end.
The preliminary bouts of an amateur tournament are always wildly exciting. Every boxer entered in a tournament puts forth every ounce of energy in his make-up in order to stay in the running in an effort to compete in the semi-finals and finals.
Hardcore and elaborate prizes have been selected for the various winners in the 5 classes, while the losers in the semi-finals will also be rewarded with gold stock prizes. The prizes are on exhibition in the window of the 15th Infantry Headquarters, 2217 Seventh Avenue.
INTEREST AT HIGH PITCH
All of Harlem is keenly interested in the coming tournament. It is the subject of conversation at all the upown sporting circles and enthusiasm is running at a hight pitch. The colored fistic fans of Harlem are expected to turn out in masses to cheer on their favorites in the various contests. All the leading clubs of the city have entered their star losers and all told the evening will be one wild and exciting battle after another.
Marshall Enterts-15th Infantry Boxing Tournament.
Sergeant Major Francis S. Marshall of the old 15th Regiment, and who recently returned to this city and existed in the new 15th Regiment under the command of Col. Arthur Little, has sent in his entry to athletic association of the crack colored regiment to compete in the big amateur boxing tournament which will be staged at the 15th Regiment armory on the nights of Tuesday, March 22, and Friday March 25. The preliminaries and semi-finals will be staged on Tuesday night while the finals will be held Friday night.
Marshall is a veteran of the late world's war and served with distinction as Sergeant Major of the 1st Battalion of the old 15th Infantry. He is now Regimental Sergeant Major of the new 15th Regiment. Sergeant Major Marshall is one of the best amateur boxers in the country and while he has not appeared in the ring in some time, he nevertheless is training like a trojan showing all his old form. Great things are expected from him in the 125th Infantry. Lieut. Charles O. Steadman chairman of the Boxing Committee of the 15th Regiment, N. Y. O. has just received the entry of Benny Powell, the colored amateur champion, and he other entries from the N. Y. Christopher Club. He also has received information that the Sailor Crescent will send the cream of their club to the Tournament. It looks as though there will be some tough fighting between the Harlem Clubs and the clubs downtown

COLORFED ATMOSCOPE
COLORED ATHLETIES AT P. O. C.
A large number of colored athletes participated in the Memorial games of the post office clerks at the 6th Regiment Armory on Saturday March 12th. The St. Christopher club was well represented by such stars as Wood; Sherman, Foster and Parker. The feature event the 1000 open handicap race was not represented by any colored athlete. Wm. S. Parker, the fast St. Chrishioner 1000 yard man did not run, although he was entered in this event, as he was also running with the St. Christopher relay team. Wood and MacCammon were both winners in the semifinal 60 yard dash, and made good showing in the finals of this event.
In the relay race Geo Williams, the St. Christopher miler was absent, and Mac Cannon ran in his place. Not being used to the mile, Mac Cannon lost considerable ground in this part of the race, and finished in last place.

"KID" NORFOLK KNOCKS OUT
JUNKEN LEWIS
The night started between "Kid" Norfolk and "Pinky" Lewis at Madison Square Garden several packs gao ended in the sixth round at the Manhattan, Casino on Thursday night. March 8th. A large crowd of boxing fans turned out to see the scheduled fifteen round bout, which had aroused considerable interest, because of Lewis' showing at the Garden.
"Kid" Norfolk was 25 pounds lighter than his opponent, but by several hard blows to the nose and face in the second round took much, of the fight out-of-Lewis. During the remainder of the fight, Norfolk wore his opponent down by a series of body blows, which became distressing to Lewis in the Sixth round. A hard left to the face followed by a right to the jaw succeeded in knocking Lewis out near the end of that round.
"Kid" Norfolk was given a championship belt by Tex Richard for defeating Bill Tate some time ago, and has been styled the Colored heavy-weight champion of the world, but Rickard seems to have forgotten Harry Villa and other Colored heavyweights who have as much right to such a title as Kid Norfolk has. By three successive victories, Norfolk becomes the permanent possessor of the belt, but as the saying goes "It doesn't mean anything."

He had no Tow-line But he had his Sweet-Orr Work Pants
EIGHT miles from any town the Blue Book said. He hadn't passed a house in miles. And the engine wouldn't budge. Then-almost like an answer to prayer—the little roadster appeared over the hill-top. Yes—they'd give a tow—got a line? No—not even tire-chains in either car!
Suddenly, from under the seat, a pair of trousers came to light tough, heavy Sweet-Orr Work Pants he had worn in his garage at home. It was a chance, but he took it. And it worked. Over rough, hilly roads the little roadster hauled him, and safely, into the next town.
This actually happened. Although Sweet-Orr Clothes-To-Work-In aren't made purposely for such tests as this-yet time and again, as Sweet-Orr records show, the strength of these clothes has been proved in ways as dramatic as this.
If the strongest work clothes made, are the kind you want, look for the Sweet-Orr label next time you buy.
