The case was called Monday morning. James Child, and notwithstanding the postmaster Boddy's counsel, Judge Morrison, Herman Hoffman and Frank Arnae, who asked for a postponement because of lack of time for preparation by the Judge Wasservogel ordered the court to proceed District Attorney McBurney elected to prosecute Boddy in prison at being the first important case arising under his administration, which began January 1st.

It will be noted that the wig covered the livid scar on Boddy's cheek, and that his jean, gritty frame and smooth face, fitted, well the woman's costume.

The most distinguished feature of the evening was the presence of Governor Nathan L. Miller of the State of New York, accompanied by Adjutant General J. Leslie Kincaid and Major W. C. Connor, military secretary. Accompanying the Governor were Lieut. Col. James Eben, of the 71st Infantry, N. Y. G., Major J. G. Grimley, and a number of others. Sharing interest with Governor Miller and his party, was a group of folks, guests of Col. Little, who are prominently identified in "Who's Who," the Blue Book, and the Social Register.

The meeting was largely attended by farmers, educators, ministers and community workers. The "Workers' Conference" which was held on Thursday was equally as interesting as the Farmers' Conference.

Harris has been president for some time, withdrew from the club and refused to allow the president, to herd them into a so-called independent body of which he alone would be the directing and dominating head. These citizens, desiring to retain their regularity in the Republican party and to maintain affiliation with the party organization, have organized themselves into the Appomatox Republican Club, with Col. Charles W. Fillmore as president. This action was taken on Thursday night, January 19th, at a meeting held in the Y. W. C. A. West 137th street, at which time the executive committee of the West Harlem Republican Club had called a meeting of the entire club for the purpose of considering what action to take following upon the expressed determination of President Harris to conduct the club as an independent organization, separate and apart from the regular party organization, which policy was opposed by five other officers and most of the rank and file. to step down from the presidency in favor of one who could better serve the masses. But this he bluntly refused to do, it is alleged. The birth of the Appomatox Club, with a paid enrollment at the first meeting of 102 members, followed.

As President Harris and brother own the building at 200 West 134th street, in which the West Harlem Club has had its headquarters, and as he had expressed a determination to neither recite from his position as to independent action, or to abdicate as president, declaring it is alleged, that he would maintain his attitude, and remain as president, if he had but six followers, the opposing members decide that the only course consistent with a preservation of their party affiliation would be to attend from the Harlem club and from a club to be operated accordingly, in the recognized principles of Republican party organizations. It was brought out by many of the graduates at meetings on January 17th, that every other possible being had been put forth in support of his.

Groups of farmers with their wives and children were gathered here and there around fires built by them to keep out the early morning chill until that "rising whistles" blew and buildings were thrown open. Hundreds arrived on the train Tuesday, many coming from a distance, and until late in the night the Y. M. C. A and Y. W. C. A officers and staffs were busy registering visitors. The trains throughout Wednesday brought additional numbers. The visitors included many white friends from Montgomery and other cities in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Texas and Virginia. arm and House DemFonstrations. Promptly at 7:30 a.m. students in the Industrial Department began the demonstration: "howing phases of home and farm life." On one side demonstrations of interest to the women were going; on the other side the men found those of interest to them. On the "home side" the first demonstration was showing the possibility of comfortable home on the farm, having a sleeping porch, both room, dining room and other experiences. The proper arrangement of these wee, shown and how, the room could be fitted up with attractive, but inexpensive furniture. In the, second compartment the girls were giving a demonstration in sewing; teaching the farmer's wives how to make a nice servicable dress for a little girl from an old shirt or a coat for a child from an old discarded overcoat; thus teaching the lesson of economy of "making over garments." Next was a group of girls from the laundry division demonstrating methods of laundering which removed the drudgery from this kind of work. In another section a class "The proper care of a baby" was being conducted by a graduate nurse who weighted the babies and advised the mothers of the correct urination and proper care of the ingent. Practically every phase of home was taken up on this side, even the correct manner of teaching children. Among those allowed to the men were found young men teaching farm-painting, carpentry, show-making and other activities of farm life. The demonstrations showed how easily farm implements, utensils and other things discharged as useless could be repaired so that they would again be serviceable. Instructions in the preserving power of paint; in making farm gates, fences, and furniture and repairing the home were given to the farmers. These demonstrations were kept up continually until 10 o'clock. . The Agricultural Parade. To the delight of many, the agricultural parade, which was discontinued last ear, was again placed on the program of the day. At 10 o'clock the parade, headed by the Institute band, moved off, and with its floats bearing agricultural and horticultural products along with live stock wound its way through the campus. Following directly behind the band were horses and mules of splendid calibre, then came the floats with vegetables of all kinds, home cured meat, country grap, and other foodstuffs followed. It was noticeable that only one float hore cotton as part of its exhibit, foodstuffs comprised the ruling favorite. The floats were followed by the school children of the community which had prepared or produced the products, all of which were products of Macon county, and showed to an advantage the splendid possibilities of Macon county. Conspicuous among the floats were those of the Institute, among which were exhibits from truck gardening, with several young men showing the proper method of cultivating a garden; dairy products, with young women and men showing correct way of preparing dairy products; the hospital float, showing proper care of the sick, and the training school float bearing several little girls one demonstrating use of the soap brush, another the comb and flush, and others showing the things necessary for clean, healthy bodies and most appearance. The Jersey and Holstein cows also elicited much favorable comment. The morning activities were brought to a close by the dinner bell.

After a short intermission after dinner, the farmers and visitors gathered in the Institute chapel; The meeting was called to order by Dr. Morton, who preided over the meeting. 'After the singing of a few Spirituals to arouse the spirit, the program, which consisted of an address by Dr. Moton, a round-table discussion by the farmers, and addresses by others present, was carried out. Principal Moton Speaks. The opening address was delivered by Dr. Meenn. He cordially welcomed the visitors to the Institute; referred to the far-reachingness of Dr. Booker T. Washington in establishing this conference; urged more diversification and rotation of crops; endorsed Cooperative Marketing Association related the efficacy of the Ford Muscle Shoals project, and bade the farmers to be of good courage and to strive to uplift the communities in which they live. Among other things he said: "For thirty-one years Negro farmers, cooperating with white farmers, and those interested in agriculture, have been meeting here at Tuskegee Institute putting forth efforts to thrash out the knotty and difficult problems faced by the farmers. It is hard to measure the good that has come to the South as a result of these annual gatherings. And we should never cease to be grateful to our great leader and benefactor, Booker T. Washington, for putting this idea in motion. I want to assure every one who is seriously interested in, helping the farmers of the South, that they are most cordially welcome and I hope that there will be the freest discussions of any helpful topic which might come up. "Diversity and Rotate Crops." "I realize that the farmers through-out the country are passing through a most trying period, but out of the difficulties we are facing the Negro farmer is getting some lessons which are very valuable for all of us. "In the first place we are learning that, in spite of every difficulty our only priority in farming lies in the conscientious pursuit of rotation and diversification of crops. It is a noteworthy fact that few farmers are suffering for food; and this simple emphasizes the plain nature of our food for themselves and their stock. All of us depend upon the farmers for our foodstuffs, and while the present price for farm products is low, the time is going to come when the farmer like other people will get a satisfactory price for his products. Millions Starving for Bread. "You cannot make me believe that with millions of people in one part of the world starving for bread an intelligent world is not going to provide some means by which those people should be fed and by which the products from our farms including those of the Southern Negro will find a profitable market. "Agriculture was never given more thoughtful consideration by both federal and state governments than it is receiving today. The people are stirred up on this question, and they ought to be. More means are devised for the help and encouragement of Southern farmers than ever before. Cooperative marketing campaigns to encourage stock raising, farm loan banks are being vigorously promoted, and then comes Mr. Ford's offer for the development of Muscle Shoals, which if accepted, and put into operation will prove to be a boon to Southern farmers." Negro Farmer & Beneficiary. The Negro farmer along with the rest will be a large beneficiary because eighty per cent. of our race in the South live by farming. If Mr. Ford reduces the cost of nitrogen, the most expensive element in plant food, to the extent which he represents—and I have no doubt of his wish and desire to do as he says—aside from the matter of giving employment to thousands of our people it will mean an industrial revolution in Alabama and the entire South such as we have never seen, and the Negro will share largely in the benefits received. "I hope very earnestly that Congress and the other authorities of our government will personally find it possible to accept Mr. Ford's proposal in such a way as will make it possible to bring these very desirable results, which will benefit not only the black people and the white people of our Southern country, but the entire nation. I know nothing of the details and legal plans of the proposition, but the general plans and purposes as set forth by Mr. Ford for the development of the Tennessee Valley I have looked into with some care both in Muscle Shoals and in other ways. I have a strong conviction that it will be of the greatest benefit to the agricultural development of this entire section. Spirit of Good Will Manifest "Not only the things I have mentioned, but we, as Negroes, here in the South taking the conditions as a whole have never had more reasons for encouragement, than we have today. The great principle of "peace on earth good will toward men" which came to the Shepherds on the plains of Bethlehem on that first Christmas morning is becoming rooted and grounded in the hearts of men as never before. "We have more of genuine good will in the South between black men and white men than ever before. White men in your own communities were never more ready and anxious to cooperate with Negroes in any matter which tends toward the development and welfare of the Negroes and the community. This is true in every hamlet in Alabama and in every state in the South and we will do well to continue to emphasize our advantages, and these are many. I have not heard of a single white or colored planter permitting a tenant to go without food during the past year or a case of a tenant being ordered off the place because he was not able to pay his debts. "I have heard of many cases, however, where the wives and daughters of planters have made it their business to take nourishment and medicine to sick children of tenants. These acts do not get into Northern or into Southern papers, but frequently a Negro boy and a white boy get into a light and it is reported as a great race riot. "All these things should create an inspiration and a determination on the part of Negro farmers and those who can help the farmers, to succeed by overriding these difficulties by continuing to buy land, to build decent homes, by securing good schools and driving in every way raise the moral, intellectual economic and standard of every community here in this part of the country where we have advantages of conditions and clime, enjoyed by few other races." Farmera Make Progress. Following Dr. Motton's address the round tables discussion of the subject of marketing was opened by E. A. Williams, state demonstration agent of Georgia and a graduate of Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Williams related how the farmers in Georgia, white and colored, had formed cooperative associations through which during the past year they had sold ten carloads of peaches, seventy-nine carloads of watermelons, and had cleared $850 on hogs sold in this manner. He pointed out that there was no "color line" in selling hogs; buyers did not care whether they were raised by black farmers or white farmers. M. B. Ivey, farm demonstration agent of Bullock county, stated that marketing associations which had been organized among he colored farmers of his county had encouraged the growing of better live stock. Through the association in his community, the farmers sold one hundred and thirty-four carloads of hogs; 65 carloads of cows; the larger part of these being shipped by colored farmers. W. E. McGowan, a colored farmer of Bullock county, stated that he was a member of the Bullock County Association and that last year he had sold hogs amounting to $607. When asked how much of that money was profit, he replied, "about fifty per cent." and that was due he said to the fact that he had raised his hogs economically, and had fenced them in a field which had been planted with velvet beans, peas, etc., so that they were able to feed themselves. He served of State, California, ported that he owned two intriades and a field of acres. In reply to a question as to how he succeeded in farming, he said: "The farmer who succeeds is the one who has something growing while he sleeps." T. J. Lynch, of Edward, Miss, strongly emphasized the necessity of growing a good grades of live stock. He reported this success in raising two hogs last year, which weighed something over eight hundred pounds. He was the prize winner at the fair in his community. So enthusiastic was Mr. Lynch over his theory of raising good stock of cattle that he said when you raise a good breed of hogs "you can almost see them growing." He emphasized the importance of feeding bone-building feedstuff to cattle. He said the best food for developing the bone of cattle was a food called "tankish." Better Race Relationa In addition to the note of progress in farming, and the note of optimism in the subject of the present financial crisis there were evidences of increasing cooperation and sympathetic good will between the races in the South. Mrs. J. H Crawford of Jasper, Ala., wife of one of the leading bankers of the state, was present and spoke most earnestly of the importance of understanding between the races. "We Southerners," she said, "have had the veil of prejudice drawn from our races. Once we looked to Africa and to other foreign countries to render service as missionaries, but we have since learned that our duty and THE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1922.

Leeper, prominent real estate operator of Birmingham, Ala., was in attendance upon the meeting and spoke for a few minutes. He emphasized the importance for better race relation in the rural districts. He said in connection with the importance of improving race relation that the "Negro farmers responded to good treatment, and in whatever sections of the South we find real progress, there we find the Negro farmers receiving a splendid treatment." Dr. H. O. Sargent, of the vocational agricultural work in this section of the federal board, spoke of the importance of the work that is being done by the government throughout this state. He spoke of the number of instances where the colored schools have been helped, and of the gradual and continual raise in salaries. Rev. H. H. Dunn, New Orleans, La., spoke a few words in reference to the discussions of the day. He stated that the discussions had brought out the fact that there was cooperation between the races and that better prices were being offered for farm products. To Unveil Monument. Other interesting addresses were delivered by C. W. Hare, a lawyer of the town of Tuskegee and trustee of the Institute; and B. F. Hubert, director of the Agricultural Department of the Institute. The former referred to the good results that had come from the Conference and praised Dr. Moton for urging that there should be a good school on every plantation or rural neighborhood. Mr. Hubert pointed out that one of the best ways to market at a profit was to create a manner of consuming at home those products for which it was difficult to secure a suitable market. As close of the session Principal Moton announced that the monument to the late Booker T. Washington for which the colored people of America contributed $25,000 as a gift to America would be unveiled on April 5th. Leading Educator's Speech. Dr. James H. Dillard, Charlestonville, Va., president of the Jeanes and Sleeve Fund Boards, in addressing the assemblage at the evening session, emphasized the necessity of children in the schools learning thoroughly those things which they profess to be learning and declared that it was providential that a man like Dr. R. R. Moton should succeed Booker Washington as the character of each one was based upon strict adherence to the truth. This session was replete with interest, and hopeful addresses were made by some of the leading educators of the country. Charles F. Powellison, general secretary of the National Child Welfare Association, which has recently begun to develop a movement for the Conservation of Negro Child life, gave a brief talk, with the use of posters, to acquaint the 100 students of Tuskegee Institute with essentials of good health, and right living. Dr. J. M. Meserve, president-emeritus, Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., introduced the president of the university, Dr. J. L. Peacock, who expressed the hope that Tuskegee Institute, would continue to teach Negro youth to have ambition for goodness, service, and friendship. Loreno Hall, Columbus County, North Carolina, spoke on helping farmers to think, and Dr. W. S. Scarbrough, former president of Witherforce University, Ohio, now connected with the United States Department of Agriculture, spoke on self-respect and self-reliance, declaring that the future of the Negro lay in the Negro himself. DECLARATIONS 31st ANNUAL TUSKEGEE NEGRO CONF- DENTIALS The thirty-first annual Tuskegee Negro Conference sends greetings to Negro farmers and rural workers throughout the South. We extend a word of congratulation to those who have remained true to their jobs, despite the trying times of industrial depression through which we are passing. It is especially gratifying to note how all classes of farmers in the face of tremendous odds, are struggling to maintain their financial standing and at the same time improve their home and community life. While we have suffered intensely during this after-the-war period, owing to reaction in allines of industry, there is reason for a general feeling of thankfulness among Negro farmers. Although we have not as much money, as we have had in former years, we have made our fast crop on an economical basis and through diversification, we have on hand larger quantities of food and feedstuffs than we have probably ever had. We are pleased to state that in a large measure this diversified farming is a result of the teaching which this Conference for the past thirty years has been giving. In spite of the fact, however, that we have larger quantities of food and foodstuffs than ever before, we cannot deny that there is suffering. This is because of the low purchasing power of the crops that we have grown and likewise in most cases, the absence of any market where these crops may be sold. The crying need throughout the South is for some system of marketing that will enable the farmer to obtain at least a fair return for the fertilizer and labor he has invested in the production of his crops. Must Provide Markets The farmers have been criticised for not growing more diversified crops. The diversification of crops will not succeed until markets are provided. There should be throughout the South, a system of cooperative marketing, state and local that will make it possible for farmers to sell their crops intelligently and collectively. This conference goes on record as recording voluntary cooperative marketing associations in every section of the South. We also urge that wherever farmers are organised, locally, that they get in touch with county, state and national agencies that are seeking to find markets for farm products. The annual conference wishes to impress upon Negro farmers the importance of striving to keep abreast of the times, and to know the very latest improvements in farm machinery and methods in farming. In order to do this, it is necessary for every farmer to subscribe for at least one farm paper. Buy Land, Own Moose We also urge that include of the hard times, every advantage be taken of the opportunity to buy land and own homes. It is especially important that you should take the led in securing better schools, better churches, better teachers and better preachers. By doing this you will assist in providing conditions that will make your children more contented and more willing to stay with you instead We are especially pleased to note the improvements that are being made in the rural schools for our people throughout the South, particularly in North Carolina, in Mississippi and in Louisiana. The work is being especially aided by the Ama T. Jenee, Foundation and the Rosenwald Schoolhouse Building Fund. In Mississippi, about $800,000 will be spent this year in modern schoolhouses for Negroes, and in North Carolina over a million dollars will be spent for this same purpose. The Julius' Rosenwald Schoolhouses Building Fund will continue during the year to assist in building rural schoolhouses in all parts of the South. This Fund has already assisted in building over eleven hundred schools at a cost of almost four million dollars. It is gratifying to note the cooperation of the races in building Rosenwald schoolhouses. Over a quarter of a million dollars of the amount contributed for this purpose came from private subscriptions of white people in the communities in which the buildings were erected; over one-half million dollars was given by Mr. Rosenwald; the Negroes in the communities where the schoolhouses were built made contributions amounting to over a million dollars, while from the State Funds for Education, there was given in this cooperation, over one million and a half dollars. Command Plantation Owners. We take this opportunity to comment on some plantation owners, who in various sections of the South, are assisting financially and otherwise, in having good schoolhouses erected for their tenants. We are told that a plantation owner in Mississippi has built at a cost of $15,000 a modern school building for the Negro children on his plantation. We would especially commend the efforts of those planters who are providing educational facilities for the children of their tenants and hope that their examples will be followed generally by plantation owners. We also commend that large and growing number of planters who are seeing to it that more just settlements are rendered their tenants. It is only by providing good educational facilities, good living conditions and tendering just settlements that tenants can be made more contented and more valuable to their landlords. Lynchings Condemned. We regret to note that the number of lynchings appears to be increasing. We again affirm that there is no one thing which tends to drive Negroes from the soil to such an extent as lynchings. We again ask that protection be afforded them in every part of the Southland so that they will be safe and can live without the fear of mish violence. We earnestly urge this because this Conference, representing the Negro farmers of the South, speaks to the white people of the South in the interest of the progress of our section, the development and prosperity of which we desire and for which we are all working. The Interracial Movement. We are especially gratified to note the increasing growth of the Jute-Racial Movement, by means of which white people and Negroes all over the South are getting together and in a frank and open manner discussing those problems which relate to the race and which need to be adjusted. We are further gratified to note that the women of the South, white and black, are also getting together in this Inter-Racial Movement. We especially commend the stand taken by the white women, who in a recent conference, urged that Negroes receive justice in the courts, he granted protection from mob violence, and stated that friction between the races could largely be removed by the exercise of justice, consideration and sympathetic cooperation.

The general topic of discussion was "Cooperator of the Town and the Open Country for Community Improvement." During the morning session phases of this topic were discussed by Dr. H. H. Dunn, New Orleans; Rev. Mr. Wallace, Birmingham; Rev. Mr. Sanders, Auburn; Rev. R. A Daly, Montgomery; J. M. Clalborne, Franklin County, Virginia; Prof. Hulbard, Forsyth, Ga.; Prof. M. W. Reddick, Americas, Ga; and Dr. James H. Dillard, Charlotteville, Va. The afternoon session was devoted to a round table discussion of "How Can the Town and the Open Country Cooperate for Better Health?" The subject was discussed by Dr. Roscoe C. Brown of the U.S. Public Health Service, who referred to the need of education, consultation, and cooperation for the conservation of health in the rural districts; Dr. L. R. McBraver, of the North Carolina Tuberculosis Association, who pointed out the tavages of tuberculosis among Negroes and argued that measures be taken to arrest the development of this plague; Dr. Frances S. Bradley, Washington, D. C., of the Federal Children's Bureau, who emphasized the importance of teaching the women in rural districts and also in the town how to care for an infant and the proper nourishment for children. Other health officials made helpful suggestions for conserving Negro health. Men Struggle to Get Land. The main address of the day was by Dr. James H. Dillard, who said in part: "Twenty years ago, I went into a county in Alabama which was thirteen miles from the railroad station and a good colored man drove me from the station out to the school where I was going—twelve miles out—and, as we were riding along, he said to me: 'Do "CURLY" BODDY ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE (continued from nrt page) eleven-year-old girl! William H. Harris of the Seymour Realty Corporation, 20 Broadway; and Charles J. Jones, 12 West 12nd street, a Pullman porter. Testimony offered by the most of these witnesses was strongly against the defendant. Some of it differed from statements which had previously been credited to witnesses, statements which, of course; had not been made under oath. It had been alleged that Buckley had made no statement after being taken to the hospital, being in a semi-conatone condition. But it was testified to by Detective England that Buckley had not only made a statement but had signed it, in which Boddy was designated as having done the shooting. Some Discropancies. Mr. Allison swore that Miller and Buckley were not present in his office on the night of the shooting by pre-arrangement, but it is alleged that on Saturday following the shooting Mr. Allison declared that Miller had made the appointment beforehand, as he had a "hunch" that "Curly" knew something about the shooting of Officer Rhodes and wanted to question him. Judge Koenig, in his cross-examination of the witnesses, brought out these discrepancies, and in other matters showed that there might be some doubt as to the accuracy of portions of the evidence. The chaufeur, Adubato, it was brought out by Judge Koenig, had a criminal record and had served two years in prison. Judge Koenig sought to establish the evidence that the taxi trip had been arranged for before hand by Boddy or his relatives, and that the pistol which played so large a part had really been the property of the thetai driver, it being alleged that Boddy had no gun at the time. The state considered the little eleven-year-old Negro girl. Sophia Stroud, to you know anything about Oklahoma? I said, 'No,' for Oklahoma happened to be out of the states that I had never been in. That was twenty years ago when Oklahoma was just opening up. He said, 'I have heard that you could get land out there.' And let me say that is what the people all through the ages have wanted and what they needed is land, land, land. "All these things that we talk about in history, about the shifting of nation, how they came from this place and moved about; they were all hunting for the people. We have no land and, if you don't own the land you live on, you are beholden to the man who does own the land. One of the wisest me living about fifty years ago said, 'The landlord is everlasting, the lord of the land,' and it is so. Most Successful Conference. "There is not any human beings on this earth that is so undesirable a citizen as a landlord. I mean what I say. I know that we have got to have them. I am not imagining that things are going to happen today or day after tomorrow, but the thing we want to do far as possible, is to get the land distributed among the people. "You have all heard about the great French Revolution. It was a terrible thing. Blood flowed through the streets of Paris. Now one thing—one good thing—came out of that: the people of France got more land distributed among themselves. And so I would say to all of who can reach the people—four white people and four colored people if you do any preaching, to five The conference was brought to a close by remarks by Dr. R. R. Moton, principal, who declared the thirty-first annual session of the Conference the most successful since the inauguration of the movement. He pointed out that the attendance was the largest and that the farmers remained Grosgouth the entire conference. He is most important witness. She declared that at the time of the shooting She was visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Holl and Seth street and was sitting at the window; she claimed that she saw two white men and a Negro and that of a sudden the collar stopped. A blaze and a shot followed and one of the white men fell, another blaze and a shot and the other white man fell. She could not identify Doddy. The only evidence adduced to Tuesday evening's adjournment which would directly implicate Buddy as having done the shooting was contained in the reputed statement which Detective England presented as having been taken down at Buckley's bedside. Judge Koeing objected most strenuously to the admission of this statement but Judge Wosservogel admitted most of it. Parsons Whos: Stomachs. Have Been Spoiled By Hootch.

As in the life of a man who is with a race, the only way to get justice, full liberty and equality before the law is by demanding it. It was a demand that struck at the divine rights of kings and they are fast disappearing; it was a demand which freed the slave; it was a demand that caused the people's participation in the government. May we not logically conclude that if the Negro is to be given those sacred rights that are justly his, that he must make his disgust dissatisfaction apparent and demand that equal opportunity be given to him so that he may occupy any place of home or trustor which he is tired, not because he is a black man, but because he is a man. It is the divine quality of discontent with existing conditions that makes it possible for progress and reform. The Rev. G. O.

Arthur Little Replies To Attack on 15th Auxiliary In the following letter written to and published by the New York Amsterdam News, Colonel Arthur Little, commanding 60th Infantry (15th New York) answers certain structures contained in a letter alleged to have been written by a wounded veteran undergoing treatment of Fox Hill Samarium, Staten Island. In this letter, previously published in the same paper, the wounded veteran accused the Woman's Auxiliary of the 15th Regiment, with having failed to provide Christmas cheer for the wounded soldiers of the old 15th (60th A. E. F.) now being treated at the Staten Island hospital. Colonel Little writes: "In your love (Association Names) of January 4th, you give great most prominent promotion to a number of matters of the 100th high military still spoken at the 15th Industry. In the last paragraph of your article you give most commendable reference to the little Christmas parties staged by Mrs. Little with the assistance of the Woman's Advisory of the Department, and I thank you for your courtesy and consideration. At the end of your column, our article headed 'Wounded 15th Men Play Associates.' I look at my days as well as any privilege to conceive this attack which so far as our information based upon your action may be considered, and to protest against the minister and the imprisonment signed at the Woman's Advisory of the 15th Recruitment. Though there is only one men better small than I to pass upon the world, Women, Nurses, and Girls are well with affection in the hands of the members of families of women, Nurses, and Girls. Whatever the organization to which any individual oligers may be belonged On July 15th New York Infantry was mobilized into federal service July 15th. At that time I was captain of Company F. For five days later, upon July 20, I became regimental adjutant and was served for eight and one month as executive officer of the command. Services of distress calls of service have addressed to the command commanding officer of the regiment were received in the upon birth of the commanding officer of the regiment to Mrs. Hester as president of the Women's Association, and in the case, either of record or of my collection was an application for delivery of relief. How the command managed to finance their expenses I do not know, but I know that they carried out the public spirit, patient drawing, and self-sacrifice company that much of their effort was captured as a matter of course by the commanders and I fear that this letter down the bay at Low Hill Hospital does not retURN an isolated wave of wrong conduct and instantiate. "When I returned to the regiment a few days after its commanding officer, one of my best friends, to give official testimony to the uncle of Woman's Association of the regiment, and I have since been cooperating with them with a view to affording them the machinery by which to extend and make more efficient their public-spirited service for the people of our community related to the members of our regiment. At every public celebration of note which has occurred in connection with the development of our regiment during the past year the Woman's Association takes the initiative in providing for the compensation for the wounded men of the old regiment from the hospitals and among New York to participate in the triumphs of the regiment. And in their own expenence they have so devoted transportation to our women examined by and from scenes of our operations.

I venture the opinion by that this boy's report is all wrong, and that the Woman's Auditian of the 15th land, functioned for the cheer of our men, in not only as well but in advance of the standards we be, the relief associations of any other regiments. There is an old saying to the effect that republics are ungrateful, and there is another saying to the effect that what is everybody's business is nobody's business. My opinion, based upon official knowledge in connection with the first saying, is that its spirit of our Republic is not ungrateful to the soldier men who helped to save the Republic. I venture the opinion that the average per capita of compensation pay and vocational training expired by the members of our old war regiment is many per cent higher than that of any other one regiment of the United States Army, and I believe that the reason for this situation is in part due to the efforts of the Women's Auxiliary in tracing our worthy cases for governmental assistance, and in part due to the generous devotion of time and effort to a number of the members of the claims of our men in proper order. I believe that in most cases where apparent injustice is being suffered to our men it is the fault of the men themselves. I have in mind a number of cases where men must meet upon street cars and address the official gatherings of celebration in connection with the regimental affairs and complain that their applications for relief have not been given definite invariably I make appointment for these men to call upon me or regimental headquarters or to send me their claims in writing, and in most cases I do not hear from them. I dream until they happen to run into the on the street corner or see me upon reviewing stand, and then they give their complaint all over again. It is difficult to help people who will not help themselves.

The suggestions of the World reporter are unwarranted by the facts in the case and can only be intended to stir up adverse sentiment against the race. It is by such means that绑架 parties are started. Such an appeal to incite race prejudice and violence is worthy of the Ku Klux Klan. It should have no place in the columns of a paper like the World, whose founder, the late Joseph Pulitzer, defined it as "an institution that should always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption" and "never lack sympathy with the poor." The World reporters should be encouraged to study the text printed daily at the head of the editorial column of that great paper and help to keep it a living vixity. A DUTY DEFERRED. The performance of an impatient glue may be deferred, but in the natural order of things it cannot be evaded entirely. The insufficiency of the Central Board of Directors of the Young Men's Christian Association in taking the proper steps to end the anomalous situation that exists at the 135th Street Branch may be due to pride of opinion or undue vulnerability for the individual responsible, not in either case it is only deferring the inevitable. The morale of the institution and the high moral standards necessary to its existence cannot continue to suffer merely to retain in office a secretary who has lost his usefulness. The fact that the Central Board has deferred the performance of its duty in this matter has encouraged the secretary to persist in his course of flaunting public sentiment. The situation, if allowed to continue, is bound to eliminate in a public expose, that will neither discredit on all those responsible for deferring an unpleasant duty. ```markdown ``` THE HOUSE RESTAURANT. About a month ago there appeared in the New York Times a reference to a protest made by Representative Awell of Louisiana that permitted Negroes to patronize the House of Representatives restaurant in the Capitol. The artifact contained the statement that "assistance is said to have been given that dinner the restaurant will be restricted to whites." Secretary Johnson of the National Association for the Advancement of National People sent the clipping to Representative Martin C. Anorge of New York and received a prompt reply, saying that he could not believe that any assistance had been given to the Louisiana Representative as stated, but that he would run the matter down. Under the order of January 17, another letter was received from Representative Anorge, in which he said: Lennon is pleased to inform you that I have investigated the alleged report and have the personal assurance of representative United Ireland of Lennon, Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, which has charge of the restaurant, that although a protest was made by Representative Awell of Lennon against Newport patronage of the House of Representatives' restaurant, that no assurance has been given will be given, that there will be any negotiation in the restaurant at the House of Representatives, that will the restaurant be restricted to whites. These correspondents then go on to describe how the great improvements introduced by Menelik have disappeared. They describe the "roads as impassable," the "bridges as crumbling," "mills out of order," "hospitals in ruin." They reach the conclusion that the civilization of the ancient empire of Abyssinia, or Ethiopia, with its area of 350,000 square miles and its population of 8,000,000, is steadily disappearing. What is the meaning of all this? Is it that the Europeans are so terribly horrified with the idea that there is slavery in Abyssinia? Most likely there is slavery there, but it is doubtful if there is as much as there was fifty, or even twenty, years ago. Or is it that the hearts of the European powers are going out to Abyssinia because of the pain it gives them to see the ancient Ethiopian civilization decay? We think not. This claim is explicit enough to commend credit and to show that the incorrect made in the Times was inspired more by the wish of its author than anything else. The efforts of Congressman Antoine in getting at the truth of the matter and securing representative Ireland's squared deal are to be commended, while the latter's courage and creativity are refreshing in these days as much shifting and evasion. Abyssinia is one of the most inaccessible countries in the world. In many respects it might as well be on another planet. Whether its civilization flourished or decayed it would not have any direct effect upon the nations of Europe. To get at the real motives of the European powers it is necessary to combine all the stated and unstated facts brought up by this series of London dispatches. The Baltimore Afro-American Illustrator, one of the changes wrought by the Eighteenth amendment as follows: In the days of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the found most folks unwilling to trust that we for making their homes pleasant to their friends, and so they bought cream. The first fact in order is that Great Britain, France and Italy signed a convention a little over two years ago not to sell Abyssinia any arms or ammunition. We learn that America was not a party to that convention. We have not a situation in which there is a large supply of American munitions at one of the French Mediterranean ports awaiting shipment into Abyssinia. We have these arms, held up and not allowed to be forwarded. We have a protest coming from English sources urging upon America not to insist upon the shipment of these arms. This is backed up by a statement of terrible slave conditions in Abyssinia and an appeal to America not to lend her aid to such nefarious practice. On top of these, we have in the third dispatch cited a long account from two British correspondents about the decay of civilization in Abyssinia. Nowadays we still cannot trust ourselves to entertain company with conversation alone, and we therefore bring out our HOME BREW. This augment the dangers of social intercourse as the amateur brewer or distiller is liable to produce some deadly infections. The unusually stimulating column of "Things Chat" by Mary White Ongston published in several of our exchanges, recently contained the following snippet: With these facts before us, it does not take very much insight to see that the real motive is a plot against Abyssinian independence. With the new year shall we not re-require to begin a new book shell and come a month and a new volume to it? That would mean twelve volumes a year, twelve new friends come to visit you, but for the brief moment that the library allows but to take off their wraps and settle down for life: Be cautious how you allow them to go visiting. They are so age to lose their way, quite inadvertently, of course, and fail ever to return home. But do you know them yourself, turning to them not for one reading only, but again and again. What do you think of this as a New Year resolve, Gentle Reader? Here we have before our eyes the workings of modern imperialism. Imperialism depends upon guns. Abyssinia still remains the only actually independent African nation, because it has up to this time been able to have in its possession guns. Some years ago the Italian government had a try-out with Abyssinia and left ten thousand dead Italian soldiers on the field of battle. The first step, therefore, is to deprive Abyssinia of guns. As soon as this is done the rest is easy. If America can be induced not to ship arms into Abyssinia, since Great Britain, France and Italy have already agreed not to do so, Abyssinians will be rendered powerless. Then, under the great excuse of imperialism, the job would be finished. And what is the excuse? The excuse is, in the nation which is the prospective victim of imperialism, the inhabitants are living in barbarism. This is used as a justification for the great moral, enlightened and Christian nations of Europe to go in and lift the people up. This is the moral excuse upon which imperialism is so widely practiced. Of the making of books as we are told, there is no end, and not all of the output is worth permanent keeping. But a careful selection of volumes appealing to the taste and intelligence of the purchaser would be an investment that would repay its costs in dividends of organisation and pleasure. Under present conditions, if Albania is deprived of the right to possess arms, it will be only a question of time when this last great independent African nation will become a subject of the "annobling and uplifting influences of the British Empire." THE PROPOSED DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. There is now before Congress a bill which proposes to create a Department of Education, this department to be one of the executive departments of the Government and to be headed by a Secretary of Education who shall be a member of the President's cabinet. The proposing of the new department, as stated in the bill, is to assist the states, by Federal aid, in the removal of illiteracy and the equalizing of educational opportunities. For this purpose the bill appropriates $7,500,000 for the removal of illiteracy, to be divided among the states according to the number of native born illiterates. It also appropriates $7,500,000 to be divided among the states according to the number of foreign born illiterates. It also appropriates $50,000,000 to be divided among the states, to be used in public, elementary and secondary schools for the partial payment of teachers' salaries and providing better instruction and extended school terms, especially in the rural districts. The purposes set forth in the bill are in accord with what thinking colored people have been demanding for a long time, that is, Federal aid to public school education. It is easy to demonstrate mathematically that at the rate at which most of the Southern states are spending money on education in colored schools, the removal of illiterac yamong colored people is nowhere in sight. An approximate average of the money being spent for the education of white children and colored children in the states where a dual school system exists, shows, that throughout the South about $10.32 is being spent on the education of each white child and about $2.89 for each colored child. Of course, as long as there are separate schools this average will be very little altered and the situation will be very little changed. It appears that the only remedy lies in Federal aid given under strong guarantees against discrimination in the administration of the funds. But it is upon this very point that the Sterling-Towner Bill falls down, for in the latter we find the following provision: "All funds apportioned to a State to equalize educational opportunities shall be distributed and administered in accordance with the laws of said State in like manner as the funds provided by State and local authorities for the same purpose, and the State and local educational authorities of said State shall determine the courses or study plans and methods of carrying out the purposes of this section within said State in accordance with the lawn thereof." The bill needs to be amended, for as much as colored people desire to see Federal aid given to public education, especially throughout the South, they would prefer not to have it than to have it under conditions which would allow the Southern states to use these Federal funds as they now use the public school funds of the states. HOW MODERN IMPERIALISM WORKS. Those who read the newspapers carefully must have been impressed by three separate dispatches coming out of London last week regarding Abyssinia. From one dispatch we learn that a large consignment of American cartridges and automatic rifles, intended for the government of Abyssinia, has been held up at one of the French ports and not allowed to be forwarded to the interior. These munitions are of American origin due to the fact that in 1919 Great Britain, France and Italy bound themselves by a convention not to supply the Abyssinians with arms or ammunition. The United States did not sign this convention and therefore, is the only one of the great western powers free to sell arms to the Abyssinian government. From various sources in Europe pressure is being brought to bear upon the American government not to insist on the forwarding of these arms to their destination. How this pressure is being brought comes out in another dispatch in which is detailed "the horrible system of slavery" existing in Abyssinia. A terrible picture is painted and abyssinia is styled "the last home of open slavery." In this dispatch it is contended that these arms and munitions are to be used particularly for rounding up slaves, and an appeal is made to the high moral conscience of the United States not to allow itself to be made particeps criminis. Perhaps no better summary of the situation could be given than the following editorial-comment which appeared in the West-minister "Gazette," one of the influential London papers: "A hushing-up policy can no longer be defended and it is high time that public attention, both here and in America, should be directed to a situation which is scandalous in the highest degree. Who would have supposed that it was possible anywhere in the world in 1922 to see 10,000 newly captured slaves marching in one gang into life-long captivity? "Imediate attention is necessary to decide the fate of the opsoniment of American munitions now lying at Jibuti. The whole system of slave raids is founded on rifles and cartridges, and the Abysistans are extremely short of these as the result of the operation of the arms convention. It is unfortunate that America is not signatory to the convention, but we are sure that when the State Department in Washington once realizes the facts it will not hesitate to make its attitude clear. "American opinion on the question of slavery is at least as strong as British. That the French authorities should release these munitions through fear of an 'incident' with the American government would be a blunder too bitterly ironical to be believed." A third dispatch from London (all of these dispatches were dated January 18th) is headed, "Find Abyssinians near Barbarism. Two British Correspondents Report Country in Ruins and Slaves Everywhere. Assert American Arms are Imported for Use in Slave Raids in Adjacent Territory." The dispatch gives an account by these two correspondents of the deplorable condition which they found in Abyssinia. They state that the splendid work done by King Menelik in developing the country has fallen into decay; that the system of law and order which he established has gone to pieces; and that Abyssinia has lapsed into a state that approaches barbarism. They declare that in Addis Ababa, the capital of Abyssinia, there are more slaves than freemen. They make especial declaration that a great many of these slaves are British subjects captured by slave raids into British territory (of course, they mean here African natives). HOODWINKING REPUBLICANS. In the course of the running debate that has been going on in the House of Representatives, the sophisticated Southern congressman appear to have been successful in hoodwinking some of the weakened Republicans as to the merits of the Dyer bill. A few of these Republicans have openly opposed the measure on the ground that it is an infringement of State's rights, as if the last vestige of State's rights had not been knocked into a cocked hat by every act of the Wilson administration and the adoption of the prohibition amendment, by the votes of Southern congressmen. These correspondents draw the conclusion that these slave raids require rifles and ammunition and that as France, England and Italy have bound themselves under a convention not to supply munitions to Abyssinia, it is only America who is now importing or seeking to import arms into this country—arms destined mainly to fill the great Abyssinian slave markets. be necessary for legislation of this character has been so ably and strongly set forth by its advocates, including Representatives Dyer of Missouri, Ansoorge of New York, Madden of Illinois and others, that there is no excuse for the technical objections raised by those susceptible to Southern influence. The best sentiment of the South, as voiced by its leading newspapers and outstanding figures in the ministry and other lines of public life, are in favor of invoking the power of the Federal Government to put down mob violence and lynching. The States have proved their incapacity to maintain law and order and ensure the due process of law in the punishment of crime. Only the demagogues who gain their power by pandering to the mob lust for blood oppose the measure that would establish the supremacy of the law. Let those weakened legislators who would continue the reign of the mob upon the plea that the Dyer bill is unconstitutional, in that it overrides the police power of the State, realize that the police power of the State is a dead letter when the mob assumes control. The only power that can restore law and order is the Federal government. The courts will take care of the constitutionality of the measure. Let Congress provide for the enforcement of law and order. No conscientious legislator need the hoodwinked as to the necessity and propriety of legislating against lynch law, unless he wants to be. Efforts will be made to confuse the issue, but it will remain the conflict between law violation and law enforcement to the bitter end. The fine process of law cannot prevail so long as the mob spirit is allowed to rule. SETTING A HIGH MARK A good friend of Tnr. Are. Dr. W. S. Scarborough, who has extended his researches from Greek roots to plant roots, as assistant economist of the United States Department of Agriculture has sent us a clipboard from the Washington Star, dealing with "The Pascination of Dumna." We reproduce it below: With no reflection whatever upon modern authors, few of them can keep a render up until 2 a.m. to finish a story. Dumna possesses that power. The fastidious of his swiftly moving stories has been felt by readers of every age since he poured them. Just what quality is to be expected them that is responsible for the establishment comprising great works that until the earliest reading time Others have used dialogue to good purpose. But jew have been able to combine excitement and dialogue with such wonderful effect as Dumas, "The Three Musketeers," "Twenty Years After," most of his novels, stand almost aloof in literature in their peculiar field. A reader finds it hard to let them out of hand, once he has started one of these masterpieces of narrative. The noise of the automobile outside twindles away as the last car goes in the garage. The street cars go by at longer intervals. The clock strikes out 1 o'clock and then 2 o'clock, but the reader knows it not. He is experiencing the fascination of Dumas. Dr. Searborough made the following comment on this dressing: It has the right ring and is worth reading. Dumas was a Negro-scaled—and yet he wrote so well and so entertaining that whatever emanated from his pen became the fascination of the world, white as well as black. Right here is found the solution of the problem and right here we must plate emphasis. When a sufficient number of Negroes can do this then the color line will vanish as dew before the morning sun. This should be our text. Dr. Scarborough sets a very high mark for race aspirations, following the classical tradition of hitching a wagon to a star. Alexander Dumas is ranked as one of the three or four most popular and gifted writers that the France of the nineteenth century produced. His brilliancy of style as a dramatist and novelist was only equalled by his feverish industry. His first book was published in 1826. Between that time and his death in 1870 he wrote over 150 romances: autobiographical works and books of travel, besides sixty-six plays. Dumas was a master of literary production and did much to preserve French history in the guise of fiction. Those who seek to emulate his career as a writer have a high mark set before them. ALLEYS OF WASHINGON ALLEYS OF WASHINGON. For forty years the alleys of Washington have been a disgrace to the National Capital. Two bills were presented to Congress which, it was thought, would solve the alley problem without injustice to the many thousands of poor people living in them. One was the bill closing the alleys of Washington as places of abode; the other was a bill authorizing the District of Columbia to build sufficient sanitary houses to be sold or let to alley people at a rental within their reach. The bill closing the alleys became a law, but the measure providing for the erection of homes to be rented to alley dwellers failed. The Rev. J. Milton Waldron recently appeared before the Commissioners of the District of Columbia in behalf of the Emergency Housing Association and other organizations to present a plan for the alley dwellers, which was printed in the Washington Rec. It concluded as follows: We therefore earnestly request the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to join us in urging upon Congress the adoption of the James Bill, which prescribes that the District Commissioners shall be disqualified to bring any land and build excellent and sanitary, model and durable houses to accommodate the people now living in the alleys of Washington, and who are soon to be evicted by the act of Congress referred to above; these houses to be rented or sold at prices which shall bring 5 per cent. profit on the money invested, and when the bonds have been redeemed the property and whatever surplus remaining shall be the property of the District of Columbia. According to the testimony of those familiar with the conditions, many of these alleys of Washington have been the breeding places of disease and crime. The death rate for adults is much greater and that for infants more than double that of the front streets, while twice as many murders are committed in the alleys. Thus these unsanitary and criminal conditions should have been allowed to exist so long as is ascribed to two reasons: The menace to health and safety was not generally realized by the people of Washington nor by Congress, which alone could remove it. Then the owners of this property reaped huge profits, because of low costs and nothing spent for repairs. The removal of these plague spots is demanded in the name of humanity. As a matter of justice Congress should provide for the dwellers who are deprived of their homes. According to the Supreme Circle News, published at Albany, Ga., Senator Thomas H. Watson is now waging war on the governor of the State and upon the chairman of the Republican committee in the State. This is quite different from the relations which existed between Gov. Hardwick and Watson in their joint campaign, when the "two Tom" were united in denouncing the Negro. The Pittsburgh Courier insists that it requires no sage to decipher the real significance of the present Democratic program, which is bent on returning that party to power at the next presidential election. After noting the various efforts to rehabilitate the Wilson party through the literary efforts of ex-Secretary Tumulty and Ray Stannard Baker, it said: All this is intended to convince the American people that Mr. Lodge defeated the League of Nations and Mr. Wilson for no other purpose than to re-establish the Republican majority at Washington. It is being shown that there is no material difference between what the Conference has agreed upon at Washington and what Mr. Wilson advocated at Paris. And the Farm Block, with its associates, is making the work of the Democracys all the more easy. What else is needed to weaken the present administration is found in the refusal of the party leaders to give the colored Republicans anything like a just representation in the form of appointments and party pathage. It Mr. Wilson lives to see his position at Versailles is justified before the bar of public opinion, he will be a strong factor in the next campaign, even if he is unable to do more than make statements for press consumption. As it appears now; the Democrats are coming back strong. If the Democrats are able to make a comeback in so short a time it will be due to the failure of Republicans to live up to their opportunities. The Red Bank Echo blandly says: We recognize that the South is a part of the United States, the same as New Jersey, and must have the same voice on questions affecting the national welfare. And yet there have been occasions when doubling Thomases have classed Holloden as foreign territory. Mayor Moore of Philadelphia promptly promoted the white-office who aided Magistrate Scott in the capture of Luther Boddy, to the rank of detective. But G. Grant Williams called attention in the Tribute, to the fact that the mayor failed to recognize the merits of Officer Richard Anderson, who has captured single-handed, several murderers and also heads the civil service list in his station for sergeant. Officer Anderson is colored. APPLAUSE FOR THE GOOD A PLEA FOR THE BETTER A PLEA FOR THE BETTER The colored leaders in Harlem did a good thing when they gave a "benefit" and raised three or four thousand dollars for the widows of the two white detectives who were killed in the line of duty in that section. It is to be presumed that these two detectives were killed while trying to protect Harlem residents against crime. But while doing this good thing, the leaders left the better thing undoing. The greatest hero in all this killing was the Negro janitor. Clark Johnson, who was able to death while trying to protect a white man's 800. He leaves a wife and many children. The 8,700 should have gone to them, with plenty of friendly resolutions to the white families, of course. But when it comes to financial aid, the white group is fully able to take care of itself and its own. The little money of the colored people should have gone to these orphans, whose breadwinner was killed, not in the line of duty for which he was being paid as were the detectives, but while rendering the superregulatory service of a true hero. We notice that white newspapers have started "Hero Fund" for the relief of the white families—while the colored people are adding their little to the white fund and doing nothing for the dependents of the greatest hero of the whole affair, who happened to belong to their own colored group. And, of course, the white papers have not thought of the unofficial Justice." I honor The New York Act for adding to supply this assistance by raising a Johnson Fund. It is a good thing to give munificently to those who do not need it—but it would be better to give where there is just as much merit, and the advantage. In The Realm of Music By Lucien H. White Fifteenth Infantry's First Band Concert and Dance honor after honor while in France, as a member of the A. E. F. for his work as instructor and director of military band music. Nor did they forget that at midnight four of the most popular women singers of the "Blues" ragtime songs were to compete for a living cup awarded by the regiment, the cup representing the ultimate as an example of the silversmith's art. From 8:30 to 10:30, hundreds of dancers swung over the floor of the Casino to the enticing strains of the military band. The program was rendered by the full band of 67 pieces, and Lieut. Will H. Vodery was given his first public opportunity to show his power and ability as a conductor. The program was announced as as follows: such insistence that he sang "Good Night, Angeline," and enthused the audience with an exhibition of the clever footwork which has put him at the top of the roll of New York's famous dancers. There came an event that really took the audience by surprise.

Major Layardia graciously complied, and he gave a few minutes with eloquence and power.

The voices have been perpetuated on a photograph records by several of the artists reproducing companies of the race, including the Columbia, the Oakch, the Okch. The judges were to their decision on the popular applause received by each participant, each had sung. Lieut. Sissie was served by the judges to escort each to the stand and as he did so audience gave voice to its appreciation in most unstinted fashion. It was meant that Miss Smith and Miss Hager were leading the other contestants, it was a difficult matter to judge to which was the most popular. Second time did the master of companies escort these two to the stand then, after a casting, up by the Miss Smith was proclaimed to winner. It was a riotous scene conduced, even the supporters of the contestants joining in the popular vumum. And it was adding to the eminence an unlimited source of inspiration when Lieut. Sisle announced that the Trent Castle Tremaine, widow of the late Vernon Castle, with whom the lieut. James Rare Esteigne had been associated as director of the orchestra that played for these dancing acts, and present and would present the all-loving cup presented by the 15th as an eminence of the "Blues" singing competition. Truke Smith was practically unknown in New York audiences, but she is well known to audiences on the T. O. B. A. circuit, as she is one of the strongest attractions. The T. O. B. A. covers the southern territory. Her entry for the 15th "Blues" contest was brought about through a registration of Pell Slater of the C. V. B.

The following minutes are bic danced. such insistence that he sang "Oood Night, Angeline" and enthused the audience with an exhibition of the clever footwork which has put him at the top of the roll of New York's famous dancers. Then came an event that really took the audience by surprise. Lient. Sissie stepped out in the center of the floor and began to sing "Honeysuckle Time," one of his numbers from "Shuffle Along." When he reached the chorus, the audience was lifted up from its seats by a flood of melody sweeping down from the boxes—the entire "Shuffle Along" company was occupying boxes on the south side of the hall and they had joined in the singing just as they did in each performance on the stage of the 63rd Street Music Hall. It was a fitting climax. As soon as the audience could be quiet, Col. Arthur Little arose in his balcony bow and introduced to the audience Governor Nathan L. Miller. The reception given His Excellency indicated that the preceding events had only served as an appetizer to the audience, for it was several minutes before it was possible for the head of the State to be heard. He paid a splendid tribute to the men of the Old 15th, who had won imperishable fame on the fields of battle scared France, and he extended that same honor to their successors, the men of the New 15th, who, under Colonel Little had been awarded the same regimental number as had been carried upon the banners of their predecessors—the "309th Infantry," Governor Miller declared an audience made up of people of the race which gave birth to such men as composed the 15th regiments—both the wartime and the peacetime aggregations. The Governor remained for quite a while after this, looking on with evident enjoyment as the folks whirled and grasped in the maizes of the dance to tintillating and nerve-stimulating music played by the 15th regiment musicians under the baton of Lieut. Vodery and his assistants. The success attained by the 15th in this affair was made possible by the capable and efficient work of Col Little's staff and members of the enlisted personnel. In this connection particular credit goes to Lieut. Col McClimock Lieut. Herbert, Gee, Lieut. Sissle, Lieut. Vodery and a number of others. CLEF CLUB ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS RECITAL President Alex Fernan, assisted by Lieu F. Eugene Mikell and William C. Elkins, conductors of the orchestra and chorus, respectively, presented the rejuvenated Cler Club to a small audience at Carnegie Hall on Monday evening, January 23rd. Founded by the late James Reece Europe, the Cler Club has had some unfortunate experiences, dating back to the time when Mr. Europe found it necessary to withdraw from the organization which he had brought into being. He then organized the Tempo Club, but its experience covered a short span. In the meantime, the Cler Club was undergoing tempestuous experiences. It finally seemed that the organization had reached a haven of safety under the administration of "Deacon Johnson" but again after a period, there came dissensions and internal strife which welligh founded the old craft. It has come now to what might well be called its period of recrudescence, and with President Fernan guiding its operation, it is hoped to rehabilitate it with even more than its original glory. And this is a consummation devotion to be wished. The Carnegie Hall appearance of the club contained matter of interest, aside from the fact that it was its first venture under the new management. Mr. Elfins had conducted Clet Club choruses before, but it was the initial appearance of "Gene" Mikel on the conductor's stand, swinging a baton over the Clet Club orchestra. And this was a circumstance worthy of note since Mikell had been bandmaster of the famous Hell Fighters' Band of the 360th Infantry, A. E. F. (Old 15th New York), under the leadership of the late Lieu, Europe, and following the untimely death of his leader, the young bandmaster succeeded to the conductor's desk. So, when the Clet Club, Europe's creation, called Mikell to the post which his old leader had formerly held, there was interest in speculation. It is a matter of regret that one has to chronicle any shortcomings. It would be a far phemeometer task, to say that Mr. Mitchell measured up to fullest requirements of his task. When the orchestra played its opening number, "The Clet Crab March" composed by its founder, "Jim" Europe, indications were that every anticipation would be satisfied. The organization played with authority and power, with a depth of tone and a composure a filiometry that surprised. This feeling required some slight imposition when Rachmaninoff's C sharp mellow prelude was given. The slight adjustment was caused by the fact that partitions, heroic melodies and mandolin-guitars, pleureasure instruments all are hardly equal to the maintained tone necessary in a chamber so full of suspensions, or in a musical friend index, it should be rebuilt with hardened numbers in the flamenco maturer's shell of instruments. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28. 1922. IRENE CASTLE AND TRIXIE SMITH. Photograph By Robt. McDougald. The Age Photographer. The high level of the first two numbers was departed from so abruptly as to resembled tumbling over a precipice. From thence on to the end, save for the concluding number itself.—"Strength of the Nations," another European composition, and Harmony, seventh than the first number—Mr. Micell contented himself with exhibiting the big group of musicians in the capacity of dance hall music purveyors and vaudeville slap stick artists. Burleigh's arrangement of "Deep River," incongruously set in the midst of the bizarre program, was not given an adequate performance. The work of the chorus, under direction of Mr. Ellkins, reached its highest peak in rendition of a group of spirituals, which included "If you just hold out" "O, where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds" "Walking in the light" and Some of these days". Another rendition that contained merit was the singing of Burleigh's "Southland". The group of singers was made up of some splendid voices, but unfortunately, there was a paucity of tenor quality. And in addition to the lack of this essential as a whole there was one voice in the group of such student choruses texture, compiled with penetrating quality that at times it most unpleasantly destroyed what would have otherwise been a pleasing ensemble. The basso and harmonies were of such splendid quality in timbre, coloring and tenal quality, as to almost compensate for lack of quantity in the inner section Mr Ellkins exhibited qualities as a conductor which maintained the high reputation he enjoys. Individual performers were Clarence Bohm, who sang and danced. "Tuck me to sleep in my old Tucky house," though my one should want to go to sleep dancing is more than I can understand. William Parrette, a humorous Gentleman, Tom Forster, the rebellant Cleftish; Olaf Collins, baritone, who sang, off key most of the time. Colin Ridge-Taylor's impassioned ballad, "Irving art risen, My Beloved!", "Irving (Speare) Miller, the immutable Cleftie," who gave several songs with Frank M. Bryan at the piano (in this number Mr. Bryan played a brilliant piano solo, "Santa Anna"); and James Hunt had to respond to several encounters because of his "sleeping," in singing the song "Dapper Dan," assisted by the chorus. A quartet of saxophonists, Frank Robinson, Caco Williams, Alonzo Williams and Henry Minton, played a number that was not calculated in the least to evidence their abilities as instrumentists. And this last comment might be made of the program as a whole. Save for exceptions already noted, the numbers offered by Mr. Milton were not of a character in, keeping with the ability of the men making up the personnel of his orchestra. I have heard these men, under other anspies, and they have given good account of themselves in programs that, were of proper recital quality. If not approaching near to symphonic standards. And it is a pity they had no scope for exhibition of their prowess in real concert work at this Clef Club recital. Draw the picture to deep below your eye and weave the end up into the mouth.

Broadway Properties In size for over 100 years AT SOME MIDDLE MIDDLE SCHOOL Broadway Square or Plaza MUSIC NOTES NEW QUINET IN RECITAL the auditorium of St. Mark's Hall 57 West 18th street, was well filled on the evening of Tuesday, January 17th to greet the Crescent Harmony Quinter in its first public appearance. "Quinter" is rather a misonomer as applied to this aggregation of young musicians, as it is really a female quartet with a pianist- director. But they are earnest, sincere students of the best in music and their ideals are not affected in the slightest degree by the slight misapplication of a title. The members of this group are Rose Willoughby, first soprano; Clara Sreele, second soprano; Amree Taylor, first contralto; Iris Spence, second contralto; E. H. Margetson, pianist-director. These fools, as it appears, are really students, and their work is to be judged from the standpoint of what they are struggling for rather than as to what they have accomplished. Each of the young ladies possessed talent. Their voices are oiling in quality, and in their powers susceptible of great development if properly trained and directed. It is to be hoped that this, and not be discouraged at difficulties nor deterred by choreses. The subject of the program was Miss Clara Steer, who says "My heart at thy sweet voice," from Saint-Saens" "Samoon and Dehiah." She exhibited a voice of more than ordinary quality. And she evidenced also that she has given sincere and earnest effort to its singing. A deep, full tone, that even in its morality has a delightful timbre, was hardied with a skill that marked her as a coming singer. Miss Willoughby, Miss Taylor and Miss Spencer gave pleasure by their work. Mr. Maragisso is a student at Columbia University and is pursuing his work with single hearted endeavor. Not only is he trying to reach the heights in performance; he is also striving to give voice to his aspirations through creating. He has composed some promising things and will be heard from in the near future, unless the promise belies the fulfillment. ROBERT G. DOGGETT DEAD. It was a surprise and a shock to me to learn of the death of Robert G. Doggett. Still a young man, hardly in his thirties, Doggett was one of those rare creatures whose constant striving for development of artistic instinct and aspiration cause them to be sometimes misunderstood and seldom appreciated. It was not my good fortune to enjoy a close personal contact and association with him, but I knew him for a number of years' and the acquaintance developed sufficiently to give me knowledge as to his ambition and desire for improvement; not only for himself, but for the race as well. Mr. Doggett had been staying temporarily at the 13th Street Y. M. C. A. and when he was taken suddenly ill with acute appendicitis he was taken to the Harlem Hospital. This was on Friday, January 13th, and following the operation which was performed, the patient failed to rally. He died on Wednesday, January 16th, at 12:15 p.m., and was buried on the following Saturday from the Lane Undertaking Patrons, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother Zion Church, officiating.

DR. VASS, PROMINENT BAPTIST, TAKES BRIDE (BY CHAS. H. MOORE). Greenboro, N. C.—A beautiful and impressive wedding and one of much interest to a large circle of friends, occurred here Wednesday, January 18th at high noon, in St. James Presbyterian Church, when Miss Edna E. Mitchell, a prominent educational worker, became the bride of the Rev. Samuel N. Vass of Raleigh, corresponding secretary, National Baptist Convention. Long before the hour the church, attractively decorated with palms and evergreens, was packed with friends of the contracting parties. Prior to the ceremony, Mrs. N. G. Washington sang "To the end of the world with you," followed by Mrs. H. E. Webb who rendered beautifully "Perfect Love" by Burleigh, Mrs. Clarice M. Michael presided at the organ. Then the organist changed to Mendelssohn's Wedding March, and the groom, attended by his son, Dr. Rufus Vass, best man, entered the chick auditorium from the study and took their places before the altar on the right. The groommen, accompanied by the bridesmaids, entered by way of the front door of the church, and took places on either side of the altar. The groommen were Lieut. George Love, A. D. Watkins, Dr. Walter J. Hughes and Dr. George Simpkins. The bride's maids were Misses Amie Jones, Ida Johnson, Leona Jones, Mrs. Maud Baw, a daughter of the groom.

The fourth maid, Miss Amie Jones, wore cream silk lace over gold and blue charmelle. The bride entered on the arm of her brother, Attorney George H. Mitchell, who gave her away. The bride wore a blue duvetpee coat suit, mule fur, silver gray hat, gloves and shoes to match The matron of honor, Mrs. M. C. Falker, sister of the bride, was attired in a suit of hand-made gray and blue crocheted dress, hat and slippers to match, while the maid of honor, Miss Lillian Lassiter, wore silver gray charmouse, hat and shoes to match. The bride's shower bouquet was of white rose buds, and the bride's maid carried sprays of sweet peas. The Rev. A. W. Pegers of Shaw University, Raleigh, and the Rev. R. H. Hester of Greensboro, officiated. During the ceremony the organist rendered softly "Hearts and Flowers." The ushers were Ernest Adkins and Ralph Faikner. After the ceremony, the bride and groom, together with relatives and friends, required to the residence of Alfred an M. H. Falkner, where they enjoyed a delightful report. The bridal party motored through the country to Raleigh, to remain until Feb. 10th; thence to Washington, D. C., and later to Chicago, their future home, where Dr. Vass was his headquarters. There were in attendance upon the wedding several frigids from out of town, coming from Goldsboro, Winston-Salem, Raleigh Frederick-Sburg, Va., and New York. Many useful and beautiful tokens were displayed during the reception and entertainment. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Amira Jones and her first husband, the late George H. Mitchell, who several years ago was professor of Latin at Howard University. She is a graduate of Shaw University and has taught continuously, at Tarboro, Winston-Salem, the normal school at High Point, graded school at Greensboro and as the Rosenwald supervision in Wayne county.

"Five" Again Defeat Spartan Braves Of New York Repeat in New York the New Yorkers Swallow in The of Season, Which Wasin Sn At a special meeting of the Metropolitan Basketball Association held at the Alpha P. C. Club on Monday night, January 3rd, for the purpose of considering charges against three member clubs, the Borough Athletic Club, one of the defendants, was indemnily suspended. The two other clubs, who pleaded guilty of the charges and promised not to repeat the offense, were reinstated in good standing with the association after being given a severe reprimand. The charges against these two clubs grew out of the barring of players on the basketball teams of these clubs by the registration committee of the association, who were later permitted to play, although they had been declared ineligible by the association. The Alpha and Spartan Clubs admitted a violation of the laws of the association, and promised that they would refrain from using these players in any other games this season. The Spartan Club showed its good faith in this matter by not permitting Forbes or Sessons to play in their closest game of the season on Thursday night, January 19th, when the presence of these players in the game might have meant victory for them. The Brooklyn club, on the other hand, continued to defy the association and seems to feel that it can get along very well without that organization. This left no course open to the controlling body other than indefinite suspension or expulsion. As the vice-president and treasurer of the association are members of this club, the association was reluctant to expel the club, and decided on indefinite suspension, which will prevent the Brooklyn boys from playing any more games with member clubs this season. The matter of arranging a series of games to determine the local championship in the several classes, was also discussed, and a committee was appointed to make arrangements for a tournament for the lightweight championship of the district, which will likely be held the latter part of February or first of March. This subject will be taken up further at the next regular meeting on February 6th, which will be held at the Spartan Field Club, 160 West 130th street. Since the St. Christopher Club lost the basketball championship of the district two or three seasons ago, they have persistently refused to play the Spartan Club, the present champions, and such tournament as the one that is now being arranged will at least be the means of bringing these two clubs together again. It will also serve as a basis for rating the clubs for next season, so that schedule of games may be arranged in which teams will meet more teams of the same weight and class, and thus decrease the number of one-sided contests that are being staged this season.

The Spartan team had to change its plans just before the game, and played without the use of Seasons, their lanky center, but despite this handicap the New Yorkers gave the Pittsburgh team the hardest fight that has been staged between these two teams.

The Spartan team had to change its plans just before the game, and played without the use of Sessoms, their lanky center, but despite this handicap the New Yorkers gave the Pittsburgh team the hardest fight that has been staged between these two teams. The final score was 26-30, the four winning points being made on foul goals, as each team shot the same number of field goals. The Spartans played Leoeni in the first half, at both Doyle and Fial well so closely guarded during this half that only one basket was made between them. The scoring started when a soul on Betts, the Spartan was shot by Pete before the game was two minutes old. This was followed by a foul goal by Spartan, which was followed by a field goal. Tish of the same team Betts then got loose and made a set shot. Sat team Wallace, Stewart and Shumann, and made goals for the New York team, which gave them a lead of six points over their opponents. For some unknown reason Fish was taken out at this time and Gumbis substituted in his place, which brought about an unnecessary argument about Gumbis reporting to the referee. After several minutes delay the game was resumed, but no other scoring was done in this half. The score stood at this time 15.9 in Spartan's favor, which raised the score of the fans present for a possible championship team in New York. Thrill followed trifle in the second half. George Fial finally got in a long shot to start the setting in this half, and both Posey and Young made goals, which opened up the score. McDonald was taken out because of personal fouls, and Dush took his place. A goal by Stuism and a foul then by Spartan in the lead, but not for long. The score increased back and feint in the fashion until within two minutes of the end, when Loen迪 made two field goals in rapid succession, which gave them the four point lead and won the game for them, at no other time was made. Loen迪 was the outstanding player for New York team, having made seven goals and four goals for his team. He guarded of Young and the guarding of Posey and Fial stood out for his fourth team.

The company was organized by Harry H. Pace, formerly of the Standard Life Insurance Ox, Atlanta, Ga, and afterwards of the firm of Pace & Hardy, music publishers. When he started the phonographic record company, opposition from the white recording companies took the form of a boycott on the Pace-Handy publications to such an extent that Mr. Pace was forced out of that company as a measure of self-protection. Beginning February, 1921, Mr. Pace devoted all of his time to the Black Swan proposition, and cash receipts for the month, totalled only $64,464 But receipts for December, 1921, were $40,472.82, the eleven months bringing in a total of $104,628.24. The receipts for this comparison are largely from colored people, and its growth has been in the face of keen, unrestrained, underhanded, malicious and persistent opposition from several of the large white companies in the photographic industry. It is worth, of note that sharing in the prosperity of this company are colored employees, including magicians, musicians, companies, performers and many others.

That the colored actors now playing in England and on the Continent are having fine success is the word that comes from London in a letter sent by Dweyne Weinglass of the "Dancing Demons," to "Bob" Shallister, editor of *Iron Age* Theatrical Jostings.

A New York firm, Hardy & Hart, Inc., of 100 Fifth avenue, is reported to have made Dixon an offer of $25,000 cash for his patent, or $5,000 down and 5 cents royalty on every trap sold. Mr. Hardy thinks it possible that the colored inventor will make considerable money out of the rat trap. Patents were taken out last July. In a rat catching competition at the Nashville Commercial Club, Dixon entered two traps, a large one and a small one. The next morning, twenty-six rats were in the big trap and fifteen in the little trap. In all the other traps entered only one rat was caught. Dixon, who works in a Nashville department store, has other inventions that he thinks will pay him even better than this one, which is an improvement on another trap, the patents on which are about to expire.

He graduated from Medical School, passed the exam- before the State Board of Med- ticians in 1909 and has been traged over since. He is president the alumni of Straight College and which he takes great interest in all concerns the welfare of his alma lore. He is married to one of the splendid Farshall girls, sister to Cocile, the late wife of Dr. O.

The Rev. Alfred Learns, Jr., is another conspicuous figure of native Louisiana who have—may Thompson high places of responsibility by the efforts of their work from humble beginnings. He came to this city from Laurel parish, where he was born. He graduated from Straight University and later won the merit of the D. D. degree. Rev.

WILLIAM ROBINSON Business Man B C THORNHILL, M. D. ability, as a speaker, were necessities that made of him a force much desired by those in high authority in this church and society, and step by step higher his church and its society called him until today he is holding a national office of the society, with office headquarters in Atlanta, Ga., where he is maintaining his standard of the high grade man. On leaving to take hold of the position in Atlanta, he was given a farewell by a number of his friends in testimony of the high esteem in which he was held—a farewell which no doubt he took as the earnest of a people he had always done his best to serve. He has a son and daughter—the son a lieutenant in the U.S. army, and his daughter a teacher in the public schools of this city, and his wife, devoted to his advancement from the day of marriage to the present time. Alexander Paul is a Missipian by birth, but has been a thorough Louisianaian by everything else which has made him the stalwart American citizen that he is today in his sixty-sixth year of life, still active and influential in the labor circles of New Orleans. He is head of two big labor organizations, Local 854 and Local 995 of the International Longshoremen's Association, and is acting vice-president of the Dock and Cotton Council, composed of white and colored leaders of union labor organizations in this city. Mr. Paul's name and the fighter he had for union labor since the unions were first formed in New Orleans years ago are as familiar to everybody who has been here during the past twenty five years as those of any one else that the waker has ever heard about. In times of labor root and trouble on the levee front of this city, Mr. Paul proved a courage and a fearlessness that made his name one to challenge with in labor circles. In times of peace and good will, Mr. Paul has deserved and commanded the good will and respect of city and state officials, of those of all the trades and commercial bodies, and of the people generally by his cool and admirable disposition and his readiness to cooperate for the good of the people of the city and the advancement of civic affairs. He has been a successful investor in real estate and he has factored in Republican politics of Louisiana, notably in times of the late Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, Oscar Duna, Demas, Cage and James Lewis. He was a delegate from the Second Congressional District to the National Republican Convention that nominated McKinley the second time for president in Philadelphia. During the Spanish-American War he was executive recruiting officer for a colored volunteer regiment, raising 1700 men. Of this number, 1200 were accepted and mustered into service as the Ninth Immunies, commanded by Col. Crane, Mr. Paul and Walter L. Cohen, who did the burden of work in recruiting the men, were offered positions as lieutenants but both, refused point blank to accept because the authorities would not allow colored men to be captains. Mr. Paul is as proud today of his stand in this matter as he was then. He is big and strong and as active as many men in good health half his age. He is father of a number of children by his first marriage and is married to Widow Alonzo Staulz, one of the charming women of this city, mother of Miss Geneva Staulz, a teacher in the public schools and sweet voiced soloist of the race in this city. FRANK B. SMITH. A.B., A.M. Attorney-at-Law. Among the number of natives of Louisiana, as did M. C. B. Martin, J. W. E. Bowen and A. P. Cambridge, who started from the very bottom rung of the ladder to be climbed by those born in humble quarters and made their way up to the point, where they might be seen and recognized far beyond the confines of their native heath, is Frank B. Smith, who was born in the parish of La Fouche of humble parent in 1824 and in 1895 came out of New Orleans University with the degree of A. B. A. M. He was at once made professor of languages and mathematics in his alma mater which he taught for several years. In 1902, he was admitted to the practice of law, his certificate being signed by every member of the Louisiana State Supreme Court, a distinction that few applying for admission to the bar have been given in this State. In 1921, Judge Smith, while in Washington, D. C., appeared before the U. S. Supreme Court and applied for admission to practice there: Chief Justice White recognizing the well known Louisiana attorney, it is said, halted the proceedings and himself introduced Mr. Smith to other members of the court and to members of the bar present: Mr. Smith is attorney for nearly all the leading organizations here among our people, bein' the grand attorney for the Knights of Pythias, Odl Fellows, Tailercab, etc. He has been a member of every general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church since 1900, and has been continuously one of the secretaries of that great body; also a member of the judiciary committee of that church. GERTRUDE GEDDRE WILLIS BusBoat Woman ... Perhaps it would be very hard. Indeed, to find in New Orleans a woman of the gaze in business who looks and fills the part better than Mrs. Willis. She is a member of the firm of Geddes and Moss, undertakers, ambassadors and funeral directors, succeeding her first husband, the late Clerm D. Geddes, who with Mr. Moss, the president of the concern, established the first whose name is one of the household words in this city and province for relatability and efficiency of providing all new this city and spice. She has been the secretary-bearer of the family. --- ALEXANDER PAUL Labor Leader. tists of the race in this city, Mrs. Willis is every bit of the business woman that she looks to be, and has that sensible way of dealing with patrons of her firm that makes new friends for it and holds the old ones. She has a striking personality and a graciousness of appearance that will put fail to be observed by all who meet her. She is thoroughly acquainted with the affairs of the firm and is otherwise a well posted woman. She and Dr. Willis are a pair well met. The plant of the firm is splendidly equipped in every department, and it carries a force of morticians, drivers and livery men not excelled by any firm or its kind in the city. Mr. Moss, the president, is a member of the New Orleans Funeral Directors Association, composed of almost all white members, and his diplomacy in the business is remarkable. • NEWS OF THE CHURCHES • First Emmanuel Church.

PETE-JAYE I have at last found a few minutes time to let all my club sisters know I am still in the land of the living I am very busy at present, as the basketball and skating season is in full swing now. The basketball club I am in is having a big game this Saturday at the Y. W. C. A. 137th street and 7th avenue at 8 p.m. I hope many of the girls will be able to be present as I am sure it will be worth while seeing. "Lotus Blossom," I hope you will excuse my long delay in writing to you, but you know that game of the twenty-best sure had me going. "Red," do the "Lunettes" still play other teams? If so, we are a lightweight team and there may be a chance for a game. I must close now as I know space is limited. "Chatties" will write a letter tonight. Bye Bye. SNOOKUMS. R-R-R-R-ring, R-R-R-R-ring. Oh! there's the phone. Hello, why, hello, Jack Go out with you tonight? Why, I certainly will. Only, please don't call for until eight; because I am writing letters. Now don't get jealous and think I am writing to B--Because I am not. I'm just writing to the "Girls Column" of The New York Age, Satisfied, all right--remember, eight of clock--good-bye. Now, perhaps I can get down to business. Girls, we have been having some lovely meetings, so far this year, and again we are planning something big; but I won't tell you now what it is. I'll just keep you in suspense a few weeks longer. We also have two new members, and girls they are peaches, one & "Twinkles" the other in "Bobber" and their names suit them fine, so keep your eyes open for their letters, which might to sappear, soon. Mystery Girls, and others, I have begun to feel slighted because I haven't received a personal letter from any of the girls. So, when you feel like killing time, just drop a line to poor me.
