Washington, D. C.—The Young Women's Christian Association, a fellowship of women and girls, has become international and now forms a chain encircling the whole world. One of the halls of this chain is the Phyllis Wheater Y. W. C. A. in Washington, D. C. This particular organization is a source President Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A.; Washington, D. C. of pride to the people of Washington and is of interest generally because it is directly affiliated with the National Y.W.C.A. of New York City. The Washington WI is an outgrowth of the small beginning and earnest efforts made by a group of women whose interest in the childhood of the race led them to deserve to provide proper living places and wholesome influence for young women. In May, 1905, these women of a literary group known as Booklovers, organized with Mrs. Bettie G. Francis as their first president. The work was begun in a rented building in Southwest Washington where such service was most needed. With the growth of the work and needs for better rooming conditions, a site in the Northwest section of the city was purchased. The inadequacy of this home to accommodate all the young women who, during the time of the war, came to or passed through the city seeking employment was soon realized, and Mrs. Francis Beyer, who had succeeded Mrs. Francis as president, sought relief through the War Work Council. Mrs. D. D. Bowles, national secretary of work among colored women, also a member of the War Work Council, our watchful of the interest of her sisters, and situated as she was at the top seat of war, with a keen, ready mind and heart, eager to respond to the call of the great advancing host of women, heartened to the call and decided that Washington was the strategic point from which to demonstrate the readiness of our women to do their work in making the world a better place in which to live. That the challenge of this signal demonstration came to us is due largely to the efforts of this indefatigable wo- (Continued on Second Page). J. W. Johnson Speaks At LaGuardia Dinner At a dinner tendered to Congressman F. H. Lalmaria in the Hotel Pennyvale on March 10, James Weldon Johnson, contributing editor of The New York Age, was one of the speakers. Mr. Johnson was the only representative of his race as the speaker's table, the other speakers being Senator Brookhart of Ohio, Senator Calder of New York, Congressman Frear of Wisconsin, Mayor John E. Hylan of New York City, and Mrs. Elizabeth Marbury, Miss Mary Garrett Hay, president of the Women's City Club, presided. In his speech, Mr. Johnson declared that "If the Constitution of the United States cannot extend the arm of protection around the weakest and humblest of American citizens as around the strongest and proudest, then it is not worth the paper it is written on."

Former Bethel Officials Must Pay $2,500 to Church Court Trial Halted When Old Trustees Ask For Opportunity to Make Restitution of Part of Funds Alleged To Have Been Illegally Expended By Them. Rev. Larsen and Church Wins Large Cash Award White Church and Officers Must Pay Negro Pastor $5,000, and $4,500 to Grace Church as Damages in Suits for Conspiracy and Assault on Mt. Vernon Minister. As an aftermath of the disturbances created at Bethel A. M. E. Church, West 152nd street, when the present pastor, Rev. Montrose W. Thornton was named by Bishop W. H. Heard as the successor to the Rev. A. M. R. Cooper, who was moved to Boston, the disturbances culminating in the removal of the old board of trustees, and several appearances in the New York courts, comes an announcement that the old trustees have arranged to pay to the present board the sum of $2,500, in consideration of which the trustees and pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church agree to drop criminal proceedings in the Supreme Court for recovery of sums alleged to approximate $10,000 which the old board of trustees is charged with having expended illegally. The story is told in the following statement issued by officials of Bethel, the statement being given to the press by Thomas W. Turner, a aeward of the church. It reads as follows: Bethel Church Vindicated. "Some day your sins will be found out, God's Will and not yours must prevail." "The unearthing of corrupt affairs which have seemingly existed from the days of Bethel Church leaving West 25th street, to her coming to West 132nd street, was left to the present new board of trustees, with the aggressive leadership of its present pastor, Rev. Montrose W. Thurman. "From the outset of the appointment of Dr. Thornton in June, 1920, a storm of protest was set up through and by the advice of Bethel's ex-pastor, whose hand has never been shown, but has (Continued on Fifth Page) Rev. Larsen and Wins Lar White Church and Officers Mu and $4,500 to Grace Church Conspiracy and Assault Mt. Vernon, N. Y.—White Baptists in Mt. Vernon, particularly the First Baptist Church, must pay $5,000 to the Rev. Theo. W. Larsen, and $4,500 to the Grace Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. Larsen, a Negro congregation, as the result of court trial which lasted eighteen days, ending on March 7, before Supreme Court Justice George H. Taylor, jr. The pastor had sued for $25,000 and the church for $10,000. From the evidence it appeared that in 1892 a white woman, Miss Martha Wilson, decided certain property to the First Baptist Church in trust for use of the Grace Baptist Mission. Then in a contract dated April 4, 1914, it was charged that the white congregation sold to Grace Baptist Church this same property. In 1915 the Rev. Mr. Larsen was called to the pastorate of Grace Church and he soon discovered that his congregation was paying for property which actually had been given to them by Miss Wilson. He charged that when this discovery on his part was followed by action to secure an adjustment officials of the First Baptist Church began a determined effort to get him away from Mt. Vernon. In furtherance of this object, Rev. Larsen charged that a conspiracy was formed and a series of overt acts committed in a manner that caused serious damage both to him and to his people. Then on June 15, 1918, while Rev. Larsen Bandmaster Wins $1,700 Verdict From U. N. I. A. William Isles, formerly bandmaster of the brass band which played for the Gurray organization, the U. N. I. A. commonly known as the Black Star Band, used on behalf of himself and eightman members of the band for $1,700 claimed no be due them as salary for services rendered at Liberty Hall. President Garvey, admitting the man had not been paid, claimed they were employed by the Black Star Line and not the U. N. I. A. He was supported in this concession by the order's musical director, the high chancellor and the secretary general. The band played every night for the Garvey meetings, but when a Democratic political meeting was held at Liberty Hall, during last fall's campaign, and the band was called on to play, they refused on the ground of not being paid for overtime, and this led to total recurrence of connection with the U. N. I. A. The jury was out only 25 minutes, when it returned a verdict for the band for the total cost of $17,557. The case was filed by the City Court. CAPT. J. E. HAMLIN IS NOT DEAD AS WAS REPORTED LAST WEEK On the strength of a news dispatch from the Raleigh, N. C., news bureau of the Greenbush Daily News, published in that paper on February 22. The Age carried a story last week stating that Captain James E. Hamlin of Raleigh, a prominent race man, had died at his home on that day. It will be pleasant news to his friends in all sections of the country' to learn that the report is not true. A card from Berry O'Kelly of Method, N. C., a close, personal friend of Captain Hamlin, dated March 12, states that while Captain Hamlin is sick, he was "very much alive yesterday. We hope he will soon be alright again." Anti-Lynching Bill Is Passed By N. J. House Tremont, N.

C.-Joseph McDowell, one of the most prominent white men in Randolph County, is held in jail for trial at next session of the county criminal court, on the charge of having criminally assaulted Mrs. Baxter Rich, who is a family equally as prominent as McDowell's. The act was committed last December, according to the charge. When Magistrates Lowdermilk and Ward held the preliminary trial the court room was jammed. McDowell was committed to jail, but his attorneys said they would try to get him out on bail. Counsel for Mrs. Rich declare this will be impossible, as the North Carolina law does not provide for bail in cases of criminal assault. The wealth and prominence of the parties concerned, and the fact that they are all white, cause the race residents of the community to watch for the entanglement with criminal impugnance. N. C. MUTUAL TAXES OVER BROADCAST OF AFRO AMERICAN CO. Second Oldest Insurance Co., in North Carolina Absorbed By Oldest. (Special Correspondence) Durham, N. C. The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. is at various times reinsured the business of twelve different colored companies operating in North and South Carolina. It now announces that it has taken over the business of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company of Charlotte, N. C. The Afro-American is the second oldest life insurance company in North Carolina, the North Carolina Mutual being the oldest. The Charlotte company was organized and fostered for nearly twenty years by Dandous Tate of that city. The years of depression through which the country has just passed were severe on the management and strength of very business concern. The Afro-American is to be congratulated on having passed through this period with success. But at the close of 1922 Mr. Tate and his associates, with their usual sober and far-sighted judgement, now that the day-of big business uses the hand and that if they wanted success the longest return and the greatest capacity to their policyholders, the Afro-American should ally itself with some business company. They turned to the North Carolina Mutual, the largest North Carolina insurance company in the world, to teach a splendid condition were the results of these two companies that a insurance plan was immediately effected and approved by the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of North Carolina. The policyholders of the African American will, therefore, in the future pay all premiums to the North Carolina Mutual and look to that company for the settlement of claims. The North Carolina Mutual has $38, 999,996 worth of insurance in force. It has assets amounting to $1,607,619. It has paid in death and sick claims to policy-holders during the last twenty-four years approximately $4,000,000. It maintains a reserve fund, for the protection of policy-holders, that equals $1, 401,700.76. It has less more than $1,100, 000 to finance Negro homes and business enterprises. Detective Redding in Battle With Bandits The exchange of shots between three holdup men, who had robbed a grocery store at 11:30 What 14:30 street and Dominican Republic Building of the 30th President Martin Luther King the neighborhood on Sunday afternoon, March 12. With the fugitives firing at him, Redding chased them down the hallway at 143 West 143rd street into the cellar and over the fences of adjoining yards until the increasing darkness enabled them to escape. A woman passing the grocery saw the proprietor, Joseph Leak, behind the rear counter covered with revolvers by two of the bandits and being searched by the third. She summoned the detective from a nearby corner, but before he reached the store the holdup men had fled to the tenement. One of them caught sight of the pursuing detective and fired at him. The robbers fired three more shots as they ran down the hallway, and Redding answered with four. Once in the cellar they barred the door from the inside. Though he had injured his knee in a fall down the dark stairway, Redding broke open the door and chased the men until he lost sight of them. The robbers had taken $110 from Leak. Detective Redding is the first colored member of the Police Department to receive an appointment as acting detective sergeant. He has the reputation of being one of the most fearless and efficient members of the department. Heroism of Two Negroes Saves 400 White Girls Luther Freeman and Rial Burnett, two colored elevator operators in a twelve story building at 7 East Twentieth street, saved the lives of many of the four hundred girls employed in the building by sticking to their post, though nearly stifled by ammonia fumes, until the building was emptied. The accident occurred on Wednesday, March 7, when a burst pipe in the refrigerating plant of "Billy, the Oyster Man's" restaurant caused ammonia fumes to spread rapidly throughout the building. The chief engineer of the plant was blinded by the fumes, but was led to safety by his assistant, who finally donned a gas mask and groped about until he was able to shut off the flow. Meanwhile the fumes had filled the building and nearly started a panic. The colored elevator operators made trip after trip to the upper floors until all of the girls had been removed to the street. Firemen were called in but there was nothing for them to do, as he coolness of Freeman and Burnett had enabled all of the occupants of the building to reach safety. Voice Lost 43 Years Ago, A cold morning in February forty-three years ago, Miles Anna Redding of Kingston, N. J., contracted a heavy cold while on her way to work. For two days she was so soaked that she talked like a man, then suddenly, she lost voice, completely. Although she visited a number of specialists, none of them were able to do her say good, although service helped her that if she ever regained her voice it would return as suddenly as it left her. One morning last September she awoke to find her voice had returned. Since that time it has been normal and she has been receiving the congratulations of her many friends. She has been a subscriber to THE AGE for a number of years, and was a caller at THE AGE office on Friday, March 14. Alleged Unsound Drug Co. Selling Stock in Harlem Complaints Received That Gotham Sales Co., Acting for New York Co., Is Selling Stock to Harlem Negroes That Has No Solid Basis. What seems to be another scheme to defraud the small investors of Harlem was uncertified last week when THE AGE investigated the activities of the Gotham Drug Company and the New York Drug Company, after several complaints had been made to Fred R. Moore, the editor, by people who had been induced to by stock in th latter company. The investigation brought to light serious allegations against the Rev. W. W. Brown, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, and James C. Dudley, the clerk of that church, who are alleged to have given to representatives of the Gotham SAMs Co. a list of names from the membership of the church as prospective buyers of the stock. Mrs. Frances Beverly of 61 West 133rd street, who paid in $90 on $200 worth of stock, states that not only was her name given to the representative of the sailed company by the clerk of her church, but that she went personally to see Rev. Brown, and asked him whether the stock of the New York Drug Company was as it had been represented to her. She alleges that Rev. Brown replied, "Sister, I have money in that company, and there is no way in the wide world you can lose unless someone does a lot of stealing." On this recommendation of her pastor, Mra. Beverly bought twenty SALEM M. E. CHURCH ACQUIRES PROPERTY OF 7TH AVE. CHURCH Negotiations Concluded for Purchase of Structure at 129th Street. Calvary M. E. Church, White, Is to Move from Colored Neighborhood. After long drawn out negotiations, the announcement is formally made that the church property at corner of Seventh avenue and 129th street, occupied for years by the Calvary M. E. Church, at one time one of the largest and wealthiest white congregations in the city, has been acquired by the New York Society of the Methodist Church for the use of Salem M. E. Church, the Rev. Dr. F. A. Cullen, pastor, now located at 104 West 133rd street. The Salem congregation will take possession, it is said, within the next year, as the Calvary congregation has already secured a site for its new building. For a long time the congregations at Salem have overflowed the capacity of its present house of worship, which was reconstructed from two private dwellings. In addition, the Salem Church owns valuable property adjoining the church but fronting on Lenox avenue, and it is thought that the disposal of these properties will secure a goodly portion of the sum required to finance the new acquisition. The Calvary Church building, a large edifice in the Roman style, is one of the handsomest structures in the city. It grew to famous proportions under pacerates of the Rev. Dr. James R. Day, now canceller emeritus of Syracuse University, and the Rev. Dr. Charles L. Goodell, who was there from 1904 to 1912. The Sunday night congregations under Pastor Goodell were said to be the largest regular gatherings in the city. The present pastor is the Rev. Dr. Willis P. Odell. With the influx of colored citizens to Harlem, occupying the territory from 125th to 145th streets, Fifth to Amsterdam avenues, the whites have moved away and the Calvary congregations have dwindled to a few hundred.

The woman declares that the murder was in self-defense, as Brown is said to have entered the apartment in an intoxicated condition and attacked her. She took a butcher knife from the kitchen and stabbed him in several places. He was rushed so, the Harlem Hospital, but died an hour later.

Congressman Ansorge contested the clai mol Weller, the Democratic candidate, who was returned winner at the November election, and secured a recount of the ballots under the federal law.

NEGROES ARE POOR CUSTOMERS, AVERS FURNITURE DEALER White Merchants Not Advertising for Colored Customers, Is Story. SAY THEY WON'T PAY Attitude of Whites Should Cause Race to Support Race Merchants. According to the advertising manager of the Goldberg Furniture Company, which operates four furniture stores in Washington Heights, the Broox and Yonkers, Negro customers are poor accounts, and his store is no longer seeking their business. In speaking to a representative of THE AGE about advertising among Negroes, the furniture man stated frankly that his company had found the majority of the colored customers poor accounts, in that they often changed their address and had to be continually reminded about payments being due. He stated further that the Negro as a customer had been discussed at the recent convention of the Retail Furniture Men of Greater New York, and many of the other companies with colored accounts took the same attitude. He stated that this laxity on the part of colored customers had caused several big companies to seek no further business with them. Such an indictment as this by the white business men of the community should cause the colored people to give larger support to their own enterprises. In building up such colored businesses as the Anderson Furniture Co. the A. I. Hart Co. and similar establishments, the Negroes in Harlem will not only be strengthening each other but they will also be making it unnecessary for white firms to discredit the Negro as an installment customer, or to charge them more than other races. An investigation of other furniture houses in this section shows that many of them have had trouble with customers of other races, especially their foreign element. Many of them claim that Negroes were among their best customers, and denied that this was their attitude. Brooklyn "Y" to Raise $30,667 and First $1,000 Is Given by F. H. Gilbert Frank H.

Mr. Gilbert is one of the wealthiest colored men in Greater New York. The campaign for funds is to meet current expenses and pay for repairs to the Carlton avenue building, and it is being directed by International Secretary J. E. Moreland and General Secretary John W.

J.—When the New Jersey lodges of Negro Moose agreed to drop the word "Moose" from its title, the white order, the Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose, dropped proceeding against the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Moose, to which the colored lodges belong. As the Negro Order of Moose is a national organization, with headquarters in Chicago, it is thought that the action here in the Court of Chancery, whereby the colored lodges abogadors use of the tie, it is thought that the similar action in other states, including New York and Illinois. Hard Work and Shrewd Investments Bring Reward To Smart Woman. With a $5 bill as her total capita- lity with which a second-hand baby care- riage, a charcoal stove and a tin boiler, costing 59 cents, were purchased, with a folding second-hand dream- maker's table, carried under her arm, and a stock consisting of fifty cars of corn and twelve pigs' feet, Lillian Harris started out in business for her self came twenty-five years ago. To- day, as Mrs. Lillian H. Dean, the owner and controls property valued at $20,000. A small wooden box was placed on the carriage, and on this was placed the stove, with the boiler, and with this crude equipment the young man started her way from a beaten on 53rd street, between 8th and 9th avenues, to 5th avenue and on 9th Columbus Circle, calling out her waren to the hungry, passerby. From the beginning, Miss Harris exercised care and cleanliness in preparing her windo and meagre though her paraphernalia, everything about it was spotlessly clean, including her own poor gare menta. As the season for hot cors in the ear waned, other commodities were added, including hog maws, and frankfurters. After awhile, the strict attention given to her business, coupled with an unfailing good nature and tactful bearing, won her the favor of those in authority, and she was par-mitted to put up a little booth against a wooden building just in the center of the Circle at 59th street, where she stayed for two years. During this time, she not only kept her booth clean, but she gave so much attention to the street in her immediate night borough that she won the public commendation of the city authorities especially the officials whose business brought them frequently to Columbus Circle. Moved to Amsterdam Avenue With the changing of the neighborhood immediately contiguous to Columbus Circle, Miss Harris found it necessary to change her hospitality, so she moved to a point on Amsterdam avenue, between olet and and street where she erected a stair and here she stayed for eleven years. Her business increased from serving a dozen pig's feet daily to a demand that required a hundred on ordinary days. But on Saturdays, the demand was so great that she sometimes served 325 of the porcine pedal extremities in four hours. As she succinctly puts it, she had people eating pig's feet who never ate pig's feet before. Her customers came from the classic heights of Jersey's Palisades, from the aristocratic resort on Long Island, and from the plebian thousands hurrying home by way of the Grand Central station. From all these points they would find their way to Amsterdam avenue and olet street for a supply of succulent pig's feet. As many as twenty-five customers have stood in line at her stand waiting to be served. Started Branch in Harlem It followed as a natural result, that with the race migration to Harlem, the pig's feet and hot corn vendor should follow. During the period of the Amsterdam avenue occupancy, Miss Harris had become Mrs. Dean. She had meet John W. Dean, at that time a postoffice clerk, a sound, solid sort of fellow, but with an unusually well-developed mental equipment, a widower, too, he was, and they had gotten married. Sq in venturing into Harlem, Mrs. Dean took up the burden of establishing the new business, leaving her husband to handle the old stand. She opened a stand at corner of Lonox avenue and 135th street, and it was not long before the Harlem business began to take on proportions that compared favorably with the long established Amsterdam avenue stand. The "Hatley Gold Mine" was not neglected by this remarkable business woman. She leased an apartment house at 69-71 West 135th street, corner Lonox avenue, and this was her first venture into a field that was devised to offer her greater opportunities than had hitherto fallen her way. She held this property seven and a half years, during which time she successfully held her lease through two mortgage foreclosures. Unjustly Accused by Tenant She has just passed through an experience in the Municipal Court that came as an aftermath of her control of this property. She won a signal victory in a case in which a former tenant sued her for $1,000, alleged damages to furniture, furnishings and wearable apparel, caused by escaping steams from a defective valve. In 1918, Joseph H. Barbour and wife, Mary, were tenants in the Lilith street house, occupying the second floor front apartment. The rent was $90 per month, and when Mrs. Dean added an increase of $2, the Barbours refused to pay and took the case to the Mayor's Housing Committee. It is alleged that at this time Mrs. Barbour was conducting a hairdressing parlor at this address, that fact being advertised by large-letered signs placed in the window. Their appeal to the Mayor's Court fitter was without avail, as that body approved the raise. When the Barbours continued to refuse to pay Mrs. Dean secured a dispossessed warrant. On pleas for leniency, the servant of the warrant was withdrawn and a thirty-day extension granted. At the end of this period, she agreed to pay. in occupancy of the apartment and begin an appeal to the court was unsuccessful. Judge Davis, on this occasion, ordering the enforcement of the previously issued writ of dispossession. Sued For $1,000 Damages Then came the aftermath. On May 2, 1922, Joseph H. Barbour, through his attorney, Pope Billups, entered a suit for $10,000 damages alleged to have been canned to furniture, clothing, rugs pictures and piano, by escaping steam from a defective valve in the apartment. Interest was to be added at rate of six per cent. Surprise as to cause of delay in filing the suit adduces several reasons. One was that attorney was alleged to have declined the case, stating that the plaintiff had no case. Another was that delay would increase the amount of accrued interest to be paid in case the plea was successful. The case came to trial on February 27, 1923, three and a half years after the Barbours had severed connection with Mrs. Dean as tenants. It was heard before Judge Young in Part 3, Municipal Court: The only evidence heard by the court was that presented by the plaintiff's witnesses. It was not necessary for Mrs. Dean's attorney, Morris, Remson, of 342 Madison avenue, to introduce any evidence in contradiction, or to put Mrs. Dean on the stand. The plaintiff failed to establish any sort of case, and it is alleged that indictments for petjury may evinuate as a result of some of the testimony given. Bought 7th Ave. Property Judge Young, dismissed the suit, penalizing the Harbours with costs of court, aggregating $55 or more. In contrast, scores of scores have written in highest terms of Mrs. Dean as a landlord. After operating the 138th street house for seven and a half years, Mrs. Dean was the broker in a sale that finally terminated her tenancy as lessee. Then she came to Seventh avenue where she was the first colored landlord to secure for colored tenants an apartment house on the west side of the avenue. She leased the building at 1308-2310 Seventh avenue, which she held until this property was sold. Then Mrs. Dean bought the house at 201 West 137th street, which she afterwards sold, after repeated solicitation, to the Young Women's Christian Association for use as a residence house. She realized a good profit on the transaction. Then she invested in her present building, the 5-stories and basement, 18 apartment building at 164 West 144th street, corner of Seventh avenue, with three ground floor stores and three basement stores, all fronting on the avenue. This is a modern, up-to-date building, semi-fireproof, with hardwood floors, oak finishings, and fully equipped with electricity, gas and heating apparatus. The rooms are large and airy, the dining rooms being 14 x 14, with parlorls 12 x 15. There are 4-, 5-, and 6-room apartments, renting from $30 to $60. There is only one 10 year mortgage on the property. Mrs. Dean lives in this building. Another investment is with the Progressive Realty Co., the mutual investment organization headed by the Rey, Dr. W. W. Brown of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. In this company, Mrs. Dean is owner of a 4-room apartment, one flight up, front, renting at $44 per month, in a building on 145th street, near Lenox avenue. Mrs. Dean is active in fraternal movements, and it was largely through her leadership and initiative that the independent community of the 130th street property which is now that order's New York headquarters. Reticent Philanthropy Another phase of Mrs. Dean's activities, one of which little is known, is her philanthropy. Many cases of distress and suffering have been alleviated through her liberality and charity, but of this she will not talk. It is known, however, that in one case a tenant's wife and child were seriously ill. Instead of pressing the man for his rent, Mrs. Dean refused to take it when it was proffered, tell the man to use it instead in purchasing medicines, food and needed delicacies for his sick ones. Another case, accidently disclosed, was that of a tenant of the Nail & Parker agency, who it was alleged was about to be dispossessed, notwithstanding a condition of sickness and in this case, it has been learned that Mrs. Dean paid to Nail & Parker more than $300 in behalf of this tenant, saving the family from being put out of doors, according to the reports. Many other cases of a similar nature might be cited if Mrs. Dean could be persuaded to unseal the reticence with which they are, guarded. Now, after twenty-five years of hard work,oming from practical poverty to comparative affluence, Mrs. Dean is not, to be blamed if she contemplates taking things easy. In fact, it is rumored that she contemplates a long rest from business cares and worry, during which period she and Mr. Dean—the latter, a great sufferer from rheumatic troubles, though he is daily at work at 135th street and Lenox avenue—are planning a trip to sunny California.

Mrs. Beverly immediately sought the advice of friends and went to 280 Madison avenue, the address given her as that of the Blocham Sales Co, where she found that this company had occupied desk space only, but had recently moved leaving her address. 2. However, she finally received a letter from the New York Drug Company of 110 West 40th street, acknowledging her subscription and thankking her for it. Despite this letter, she decided to go to the District Attorney's office, and not being given an assistance there, she came on THE AGE office. A representative of THE NEW YORK AGE went to 110 West 44th street, bu the name of the New York Drug Company did not appear on the directory in that building, nor did the elevator, operators or anyone on the first floor himself, that this company had an office in the building. Mme. Walker Co. to Offer Free Trips to Holy Land Following the return of Mme Lelia Walker Wilson from her recent European and African tour, her interest in disseminating information to her people concerning these old countries has steadily increased. As president of the Mme. C. J. Walker Mg. Co. of Indianaapolis, Ind., founded by her mother, the late Mme. C. J. Walker, an opportunity is afforded Mrs. Wilson of unusual scope. Through the company, Mrs. Wilson has arranged a series of awards to be made available to any bishop, presiding elder, pastor or general officer of any religious denomination, whereby any of these individuals may secure a trip to and from the Holy Land, with cash sums additional in amounts from $100 to $250. Preceding the start of the contest which will decide at to who are to be given the trips, Mrs. Wilson gave to newspapers articles containing illuminating descriptive material concerning Palestine, "The Land Where Christ Lived," and "Wonders of the Holy Land, and why every minister should see them," with detailed data about Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jericho, cities familiarly associated with events in the life of Christ. The contest proper is to start April 1, and nominations may be made by the contestants themselves or by any of the blank for that purpose, with full information in the manner in which the contest will be conducted, will be furnished by the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., from the Indianapolis office. The country has been divided into five districts, and entries will be received for ninety days from opening of contest. In connection with the contest, the Walker company will feature a campaign preceding the opening, using the slogan, "Read Race Papers April 1, and Act." to over the phone, and he emphatically denied that he had advised anyone to put money in the company. He said he would send a Mr. C. Meyers, an investigator of the company, around to see Mr. Moore and Mr. Meyers would give him any information about the company he desired. Drug Company Sends Representatives On last Monday afternoon, Mr. Meyers came to THE AGE office and brought a long statement about the drug company which he wished published. He said that the company did have an office at 110 West 40th street, but because of the annoyance of people asking all kinds of foolish questions over the telephone, the company had never had its name listed in the phone book, but occupied room 810 jointly with another tenant. He said further that the drug company had been organized in November, 1922, and had hired J. M. Cutler and M. L. Effron to sell stock for them. These men had formed the Gotham Sales Co. He stated that on January 2 the drug company learned that these men were alleged to be dishonest and that Cutler was wanted in Trenton, N. J., for a forgery. This information was given Rev. Brown, declared Meyers, who also stated that Dr. Brown had agreed to furnish them a list of names, for which he was to be paid a commission of five per cent, with a promise of being appointed a member of the board of directors of the company if the colored stockholders wanted him. The clerk of the Metropolitan Baptist Church was also supposed to get a small commission, according to Meyers. Continuing, Meyers said that the company was sound, and was negotiating for a factory to manufacture several kinds of patent medicines, for which they controlled the patents and formulas. He also alleged that the Central Union, Trust, Company of Madison avenue had agreed to handle the tender of the company received from the sale of stock, and that the money put in by company by the colored people would be offered armed. Meyers denied that his company was responsible for the money collected by Cutler and Efron, but was doing all in its power to catch these men and send them to jail for fraud. Bank Disclaims Knowledge When THE AGE made inquiry at the Central Union Trust Company appoint the New York Drug Company, bank officials denied that it had funds for the company and disclaimed knowledge of any application from that company to handle the funds, as Mr. Meyers had stated. Other statements made by Mr. Meyers were not substantiated and it is believed that the drug company, and the sales company are without substantial foundations. Fear is felt that the $700 or more invested by members of the Metropolitan Baptist Church is lost. Mrs. Beverly and others who have put money into the company are again giving the facts to the District Attorney and will seek to have the guilty parties punished. Rev. W. W. Brown, when again interviewed by a representative of THE AGE, stated that he had no personal interest in the company, had not invested any money himself, and had not advised any member of his church to put money into the company. He said that he had only given his consent to have the church clerk, James C. Dudley, give a list of names to Cutlery and Efron, under an arrangement which Efron had made with these men, but of which he had no knowledge and in which he had no personal interest." Any statement to the effect the he was to be made a director in the company, or that he had received a commission or a block of stock, in consideration of furnishing the names, he said, was false and malicious. Greensboro, N. C.-The State Legislature, which has just ended its session, signaled educational progress of the Negro in North Carolina by appropriating $1,500,000 for Negro schools. The largest sum to any single institution goes to the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, located here at Greensboro, with James B. Dudley as president, which was vested $1,500,000, the largest appropriation the state has ever given a Negro school. Jersey City, N. J.-Rumors to the effect that aggregation of colored women patients was being practiced at the Long Branch Memorial Hospital, Long Branch, N. J., were investigated by Dr. George E. Cannon, of 54 Pacific street, president of the Jersey City branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and found to be substantially true. This condition has called forth strenuous protests against a policy declared to be as variance with hospital practices in other sections of the state. According to the report, all colored women, regardless of the nature of their disease, are being put in Ward G. Whether medical, surgical, maternity or psychopathic, all colored women patients are sent to this ward. The practice does not obtain as regards men patients, it seems, but no explanation is forthcoming as to why women are discriminated against and the men are not. Dr. Cannon has issued a statement in which he cites the examples of Hudson County hospitals as worthy of emulation by the Monmouth County institution. Colored citizens of Long Branch and Monmouth County have been and are proud of the Memorial Hospital, said Dr. Cannon, and they deeply regret this evidence of race prejudice. Said Dr. Cannon: "According to information given, the complaint is true. The colored people deeply regret this evidence of race prejudice in the hospital of Long Branch, which hitherto has been the pride of the colored people of Monmouth County and in which they are still interested. The Long Branch Hospital is a magnificent institution and under no noble a management to have its humane reputation marred by such gross discrimination. The colored people in Monmouth County are no worse than the colored people in Hudson County, and the white people in Monmouth County are no better than the white people in Hudson County, and the Long Branch Memorial Hospital could well afford to emulate the hospitals here. "The Jersey City Hospital, brought up to the last word in hospital efficiency under Mayor Hague, makes no discrimination. St. Francis Hospital has stood like a Gilbraltar of charity, meting out the milk of human kindness to all patients alike, and Christ Hospital has served all with a full measure of the spirit of the 'Lowly Naxarene.' JERSEY DOCTOR IS SAID TO DRAW RACE LINE IN PRACTICE treat white patients, It is stated by race physicians in North New Jersey, especially, that many of them have practices composed almost entirely of white patients, and several, even in colored communities, number a large proportion of white persons among their patients. Aside from the material loss, these physicians maintain that it is a reflection upon the dignity of colored professional men to ask of them to limit their endeavor to a particular calss or race, and that no such request is made of professional men of any other race. What is possibly a development of this situation is to be found in the fact that Dr. Durrah and Dr. L. G. Brown have resigned from membership in the North Jersey Medical Society and their resignations have been accepted. It is given out that this action was taken because the society has gone on record as endorsing a petition for the restatement in the profession of Dr. I. A. Lawrence. Drs. Durrah and Brown are members of the Union County Medical Society, the other members of which are white physicians, and this body was mainly active in prosecuting the charges against Dr. Lawrence during the past several years. Durrah and Brown feared that their membership in this body would be jeopardized, it is said, by the action of the colored physicians in asking the Board of Medical Examiners for leniency toward Dr. Lawrence, and so they resigned from the race organization. Following action on the resignations of these physicians, the North Jersey body adged unanimously the following resolution: "The North Jersey Medical Society continues the action of any member of the medical profession who agrees, either directly or indirectly, to limit his practice to any particular class or race." Charterton Scores U. S. For Burning of Negroes London, March 6—G. K. Clerestor, debianing Probation, Sunday night, before the Instant Framus, described it as "that curious colonial experiment cut the other side." He added: "We are asked repeatedly to follow America's example. But they burn Negroes alive in that country, and although I do no want to be pharamical about that, I do refuse to admit a society in which a vast crowd of people can meet together while a man in evening dress gets far to a Negro and praises him alive may right to set itself up as an antagonist of monarchy in the world."

Next came little Miss Mildred Hill, dressed in a beautiful white, with a white satin bandage, carrying fragrant incense. The Queen, Miss Elaine-Cuthrell, the only daughter of Mrs. N.

Her gown was designed by Mrs. Lucy Turner, Miss Francis Turner and Mrs. Alberta Jackson. She wore a necklace of gold beads, an antique gold bracelet, white satin slippers and white silk lace stockings. The latter are heirlooms of the family; as many brides have worn them. She was carrying a beautiful bangst of white and pink suzer peas, that were presented to her by Mary R. Thorga.

IS NOW A STRONG INSTITUTION man. $200,000 was appropriated by the War Work Council to build and equip for the Washington work for colored women the beautiful structure now standing at the corner of Rhode Island avenue and Ninth street, N. W. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, who had successfully managed a home for aged in New Bedford, Mass, was sent to superintend the erection of the building and its equipment. It is the largest and best equipped building for work for colored women in the country, having dormitories, club rooms gymnasium, showers, cafeteria and administrative offices. Miss Frances Boyce, who has been president for eight years, is a Christian woman of unusual culture and poise. Miss M. P. Shaad has been treasurer for over seventeen years, although she holds a very responsible position in the city schools, and Miss E. F. G. Merritt, upon whom has been from the first the responsibility for raising the finance for operating this work, is also head of one of the public school departments. Mrs. M. A. McAdoo, came to Washington in 1921 as the first general secretary, coming from Chicago, where she held the same position in the Y. W.-C. A. One of the strong and outstanding features of the Washington work is the interest and service of the volunteer unpaid workers, as on committee work, leaders of Girl Reserves, etc. In addition to regular departmental and committee work, such as Girl Reserves, Industrial and Business, Religious, Educational, Health, Social Service and other activities, the Washington work has some distinctive features. The Story-Telling Hour and Juvenile Glee Club bring in a group of children under the Girl Reserve age. Through the Booklovers' hour many literary subjects and topics of the day are brought before the groups; such as The Negro in Short Story, Negro Poetry, Review of DuBois' "Darkwater," Leaders of Social Service, Women of the Orient. The S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society that makes a specialty of presenting to the public Negro music, is fostered by the Washington "Y." This organization, with the Young Women's Christian Association all over the world, is trying "To break down barriers, To change thinking, To widen the reach of our love." LUCKY STROKE CIGARETTES It's baked THIS ONE EXTRA PROCESS GIVES A DELICIOUS PLAVER Does Mexico offer opportunities for the American Negro that will induce him to settle in that country? According to an announcement made by the International Community Welfare League, a delegation of Negroes recently visited the Mexican Capital and were granted an interview by President Ohregon. As a result of this conference it appears that grants were made to the Americans covering tracts of land in Sonora, San Luis Potosí, and on the isthmus of Tehuantepec, and it is reported that already fifteen families of Negroes from the State of Oklahoma have migrated to Mexico and taken up land in that country. The statement declares that the Mexican government is eager for other groups to follow this pioneer group and promises freedom of action and equality under the laws to all colonists. In commenting on the matter, terming it "Another Negro Migration," the New York SUN said editorially: If other tenant farmers, dissatisfied with a bare living in the South, pack up their farming implements and their household goods and move across our southern border, the South may soon have to solve a population problem. The industrial North, between 1910 and 1920; made serious inroads on the labor supply of the South; in the war years, particularly, the number of Southern Negroes who moved North was enormous. Most of them did not return. The labor-demand of the North began to inconvenience the South in some ways even then. If Mexico develops a genuine attractiveness for Southern Negroes and the demands of the North for unskilled labor keep constant, the depletion of the South's labor army may become serious within a few years. A new migration of Negroes to the North, rivaling that of the war years, is reported to have been under way during the last six months. This is a matter the South cannot afford to ignore. Negro migration in the South creates a greater economic loss so that region than even the boll, weevil can cause. Rendall Mem. Church. Rendall Memorial Presbyterian Church will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Presbyterianism among colored people in the city of New York from April 16 to 20 inclusive.

Borridly, March 17, 1723 NORTH CAROLINA WILL UNMASK THE KU KLUX ALSO STATE SENATE House Passes Second Time Milliken Bill Which State Senate Sent Back. Railiegh, N. C.—The North Carolina House of Representatives is determined to unmask the Ku Klux Klan that state, and so for the second time it passed the Milliken bill. After its first passage, the Senate had sent it back with an amendment that was termed a subterfuge, and was promptly tabbed. Notwithstanding the strong lobby, working for the Klan, the bill was reactivated by a vote of 0.26. "This house is going to unmask, not only the Ku Klux Klan, but the state of North Carolina," rededicated Tobe Connor shouted in the most dramatic speech of the session. Parker, of Alamance, thought it infinitely better to go home without any bill provided this house showed in defiance of invisible governments that to enact a bill satisfactory to the Klan SYRACUSE STUDENT BODY BARS NEGRO FRATERNITY BODY Inter-Fraternity Conference Votes 10 to 1 Against Alpha Phi Alpha. (Special Correspondence). Syracuse, N. Y.-Notwithstanding that the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity composed of colored students at Syracuse University, has been officially recognized by the administration as a Syracuse fraternity and will be accepted the same privileges as similar groups at the university, as was stated by Cancellor William P. Grahn, the inter-fraternity conference of the university has denied admittance to the colored group. This is the second ebullition of prejudice arising at Syracuse with the past few weeks, as only a few previous the senior council of students had made a request having for its object the limiting of Jewish students at the university. Members of the Alpha Phil Alpha are indignant at the action taken by the inter-fraternity conference, composed of eleven members. It is reported that th vote was ten to one against miting the Negro fraternity, but in the same meeting an application for membership from a Jewish fraternity was accepted. Chancellor Graham declared that the student conference was self-governing and could admit or expel members in its discretion, but there was no distinction made by the university administration, which placed all student activities on the same plane.

RETIRED WITH HONORS The retirement from active service in the gospel ministry of Dr. William H. Brooks marks a notable record both as pastor and as chaplain. For more than a quarter century Dr. Brooks has been identified with the progress and welfare of the race in New York City, as pastor of St Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church. His service in the ministry altogether covers a period of forty-three years, the last twenty-six being spent in this city. In view of his impending retirement, which will be requested at the next conference, Dr. Brooks was unanimously elected by the official board of St. Mark's as pastor emeritus, a most unusual action in the history of the denomination. Dr. Brooks also offered his resignation as chaplain of the 50th Regiment, New York Guard, which succeeded the Old Fifteenth Regiment, with which Dr. Brooks had been connected since the regiment was originally formed. This resignation was not accepted by the Governor, although Dr. Brooks was relieved of the burden of active service and commissioned as chaplain of the Chaplain Corps with the rank of captain. These distinctive honors paid to Dr. Brooks for his long and active service in church and society are the deserved reward of an honorable life and useful career. He is a man of great virtue and integrity, a man of great community and fellowship with the members of the church and robust manhood with a relish to their development and a good spirit. That impaired health should have more stated his retirement as a source of regret to his friends and the community at large. The important part that Dr. Brooks filled in the church and in the community will make it hard to fill his place. His work should not be entrusted to any man of medicine capacity. A hundred per cent preacher is needed to till the post. TWO YEARS OF HARDING With the halfway mark passed in the record of a Republican administration that was inferred in with the choice of Warren G. Harding as President, opportunity is afforded to judge how far it matters the expectations of both friends for. With the overwhelming desire shown on the part of the voters of the country to sweep out Wilsonism and all its works, it was inevitable that the reaction would be in order when the change was effected. Promises made and policies formulated during a campaign do not always lend themselves to speedy fulfillment after the candidate is inaugurated. This has been the case with the Harding administration, and among those to whom the realization came the hardest was the group of Negro voters. ```markdown ``` While the appointment of political patronage is by no means the most important function of the administration it has received greater attention than it deserves on account of the weight it carries as an index of political prestige. Measured by this scale, the Negro voters have been made to feel that they have fallen from the high water mark of appointments reached under the Taft administration, when the Register of the Treasury, Assistant Attorney General, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, Ministers to Haiti and Liberia, consults in foreign countries, besides local Federal offices, both North and South, were filled by members of the race. President Harding so far has appointed a Minister to Liberia, a Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, and a postmaster at Tuskegee Institute. His nomination of Walter L. Cohen for an important Customs post at New Orleans was rejected by the Senate, while the recess appointment of Charles W. Anderson for the new district set apart in New York is subject to confirmation. Mr. Harding's policy as to Federal appointment has not so far measured up to the expectations of those who supported him, although the Cohen and Anderson appointments are a hopeful indication. Turning from the matter of appointments to the more serious side of legislation it is felt that the administration failed to use legitimate pressure upon Congress to further legislation of real value. Proper insistence upon the importance to the Republican programs of advancing the proposed anti-lynching bill might have secured greater and sincerer support from the majority Senators. The State Department apparently supported the Liberian loan proposition, but stronger administration pressure was needed to ensure the carrying out of the agreement for the loan. Other matters in which the administration has failed to make its powers felt in the internal affairs of the various departments of the government, where discrimination and segregation introduced under the Democrat regime, have been allowed to continue. Promotion should be made possible for all deserving employees, whether in the Postal, Customs or Internal Revenue service. The color line should be cut out and advancement made possible on the score of fidelity and efficiency. If the heads of bureaus or departments object to such a policy of fair play, they should be summarily removed. The dead hand of Wilsonism should not be allowed to rule any department of the government. The two years of the Harding administration just elapsed have home fruits of promise, but the harvest has not been sufficient to justify any great rejoicing. OCCARION FOR PRANKNESS Discussing the efforts of the Atlanta Constitution to lessen the effect of the wholesale exodus of Negroes from the South, and particularly from Georgia, the Atlanta Independent insisted that the Negro must be made to feel that the law was, made for his protection. It asked pertinently: What does the Constitution and the press think of the adjudication of the Jenkins murder case in Screven county last week? Jenkins and another white man called an ante-heilum Negro, who had been sick in his bed from his home at a late hour of night to help them pull their automobile out of the mud. The old Negro was weak and unable to extricate the car, Jenkins, entagled and maddened with mean whiskey, shot the innocent old man to death and then severed his head from his body. In due course, he was indicted, apprehended in Denver, Col., brought back to Screven county and tried and found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and given one-year in the penitentiary. At Greenville, Ga., during the same week, an eighteen year old white boy and his father was tried for stabbing to death in cold blood a Negro girl. The son was found guilty of man-slaughter and given one year in the penitentiary. The father has not been tried, yet the son testified his father committed the crime. Now when justice miscarries as it did in these two cases, every Negro in the community feels that his life is a toy for some drunken white bully to make a target of, and the best thing he can do is to go north, east or somewhere else; that he would rather freeze or starve to death in a country that affords him protection than to be shot to death, lynched or burned at the stake in a land where, he has plenty of bread and plenty of work to do. He would rather five among his enemies and feel that his life was safe, than live among his friends where he is likely to be lynched or shot to death as a pastime. The Independent called for frankness and certainly exercised it in showing the facts of the situation. Now, let the Con among his friends where he is likely treatment of the question. CAUSTIC BRITISH AUTHORS Another British writer has waxed cautious on the subject of the prevalence of mob violence and lynch law in the United States. Several months ago George Bernard Shaw, in a letter declining an invitation to visit this country, said that no friend would want him to visit a country where masked mob whipped women, or words to that effect. Last week, according to a special cable dispatch to the New York World, G. K. Chesterton, an English writer who divides honors with Mr. Shaw as an essayist and novelist, spoke on the subject of Prohibition before a London audience. He styled the Eighteenth amendment as "that curious colonial experiment on the other side," and added: "We are asked repeatedly to follow America's example. But they lion Negroes alive in that country, and although I do not want to be tolerated about that, I do refuse to admit a society in which a vast crowd of people can meet together while a man in evening dress sets fire to a Negro and roasts him alive has any right to set itself up as an exemplar of morality to the world. Prohibition mean sacrificing the mass of normal people to a lot of abnormal people." The ample foundation that exists for the attacks made by these distinguished British writers on the weakness of this country in posing as an exemplar and moral teacher to foreign nations cannot be compromised. A country that permits the savagery indicated in mob murder and burning at the stake cannot pose as the highest type of Christian civilization. But can these British critics boast of any higher degree of civilization for the empire to which they give allegiance? If they were to give a candid reply they probably would say no. The record of Great Britain as the exploiter of the native races of India and Africa is full of deeds of cruelty and oppression. In fact all the white races of Europe have shared in the wholesale slaughter and degradation of the colored subject races, when animated by the list of conspiracy or exploitation. THE NEW YORK AGE EXCHANGE OF SOUTHERN PSYCHOLOGY Happings recently sent to us by a friend, a real white newspaper point to an ongoing place in the psychology of the South, an editorial commenting upon that has followed the publication of a menken on the absence of literature that essay Mr. Mencken said: Indeed, amazing to contemplate so vast a variety of settler spaces, of the colossal reaches of the whole of Europe could be lost in that dense, shoddy cities and paralyzed cerebrums: Germany and Italy, and still have room yet, for all its size and its wealth and of it is almost as sterile, artificially, into Sahara desert. There are single acres in a large man than all the states, south of the single square miles in America. It is the wee to be ingrained in a total wasted minority of men in the world to a flood on the Yangtze River, too easy to match so complete a drying-up of a memorial in the North Carolina paper paper and magazines in the South generally, south with denunciation of Mr. Menken of his criticism. Some of these up a defense, a poor defense in my least built upon such evidence as collections in the South have had the court that Mr. Mencken was right. Memorial in the North Carolina newspaper in the following words: Yet is, Mencken has us. The manner of it is offensive, but that isn't the point; the point is accurate." For clipping is a review of Clement many readers of The Age will remember published several weeks ago in "Theement Wood who is himself a native's novel, "Nigger." appeared quite read a good many colored people in against the Negro; It is not that at of the very best modern novels ever problem in the South. It is indeed, when civilization and its treatment book which should be widely read be at this time one of the most fearful air play to the Negro that we have, power of this book in the course of his urbane and insolent Lodge taunts us with civilization," we may rave, but we really want Wood, in "Nigger," exposes to the worldenching-party, there is really nothing for us to do this—we can look the facts square that before we can hope to abolish the statements expressed in public print is significant. It is not many years ago criticisms or Clement Wood's indictment South in a frenzy of rage in what would have no place. For general one of the marks of Southern psychology of the actual inability to stand even can remember how a few years ago at the Rockefeller Foundation offered aid to combat the hookworm immediately became insulted at the section had any such vermin as hookworm of policy in the South, when it will have a vital bearing upon the race problem. Southern Psychology. Present to us by a friend in North Carolina papers point to an important change in psychology of the South. One of the commenting upon the reaction in the publication of the famous essay "Absence of literature and art, in that Mencken said: contemplate so vast a vacuity. One thinks colossal reaches of the now mythical other could be lost in that suspendous region and paralyzed cerebrums; one could throw away, and still have room for the British and all its wealth and all the progress of science, artificially, intellectually, culture here single across in Europe that house the states, south of the Peninsula, there America. In the which of the late days of America, in the which of the late days of America, it would be impossible to complete a drying-up of a civilization. North Carolina paper points out that the South generally, instead of froth-association of Mr. Mencken, inquired from some of these periodicals have a poor defense in most instances, but such evidence as could be gathered, which have had the courage to admit that was right. North Carolina newspaper contains in its words: us. The manner of his criticism may not the point; the point is that it is a review of Clement Wood's novel, The Age will remember the article several weeks ago in "The Nation" and who is himself a native of that state. Ger. appeared quite recently. The many colored people into thinking that it is not that at all. On the contemporary novels ever written dealing South. It is indeed a terrible indictment and its treatment of the colored child be widely read by colored people, one of the most fearless and effective Negro that we have. In the course of his article says: Agent Lodge taunts us with living under raye, but we really have no answer. Agent exposes to the world the hellish savior is really nothing for us to say. Agent looks the facts squarely in the face. Agent hope to abolish the things that now exist in public print in the South are not many years ago when either Mr. Agent Wood's indictment would have frenzy of rage in which reason and place. For generations that atti-tions of Southern psychology—the unability to stand even fair and helpful in how a few years ago the South Foundation offered to appropriate combat the hookworm in the South, some insulted to the mere suggestion such vermin as hookworm, the South, when it becomes more bearable upon the discussion and A CHANGE OF SOUTHERN PSYCHOLOGY. Two clippings recently sent to us by a friend in North Carolina from local white newspapers point to an important change which is taking place in the psychology of the South. One of the clippings is an editorial commenting upon the reaction in the South which has followed the publication of the famous essay of H. L. Mencken on the absence of literature and art, in that section. In that essay Mr. Mencken said: "It is, indeed, amazing to contemplate so vast a vacuity. One thinks of the interstellar spaces, of the colossal reaches of the now mythical other. Nearly the whole of Europe could be lost in that stupendous region of fat farms, shoddy cities and paralyzed cerebrums; one could throw in France, Germany and Italy, and still have room for the British Isles. And yet, for all its size and all its wealth and all the progress it habilises of, it is almost as sterile, artistically, intellectually, culturally, as the Sahara desert. There are single acres in Europe that house more first rate men than all the states, south of the Petromak, there are probably single square miles in America. In the whole of the late Confederacy were to be trapped by a tidal wave, the effect on the civilized minority of men in the world would be but little greater than that of a flood on the Yangtse kang; it would be impossible in all history to match so complete a drying-up of a civilization." The editorial in the North Carolina paper points out that the newspapers and magazines in the South generally, instead of frothing at the mouth with denunciation of Mr. Mencken, inquired into the truth of his criticism. Some of these periodicals have, it is true, put up a defense, a poor defense in most instances, but a defense at least built upon such evidence as could be gathered. Other publications in the South have had the courage to admit that on the whole Mr. Mencken was right. The editorial in the North Carolina newspaper contains in its last paragraph the following words: "The fact is, Mencken has us. The manner of his criticism may be tolerably offensive, but that isn't the point; the point is that it is more or less accurate." The other clipping is a review of Clement Wood's novel, "Nigger." Many readers of The Age will remember the article on Alabama published several weeks ago in "The Nation" and written by Clement Wood who is himself a native of that state. Mr. Wood's novel, "Nigger," appeared quite recently. The title may mislead a good many colored people into thinking that it is a book against the Negro. It is not that at all. On the contrary it is one of the very best modern novels ever written dealing with the race problem in the South. It is indeed a terrible indictment of Southern civilization and its treatment of the colored man. It is a book which should be widely read by colored people, for Mr. Wood is at this time one of the most fearless and effective defenders of fair play to the Negro that we have. The reviewer of this book in the course of his article says: "When the urbane and insolent Lodge taunts us with living under a 'shot-gun civilization,' we may rave, but we really have no answer. When Clement Wood, in 'Nigger,' exposes to the world the hellish savagery of a lynching-party, there is really nothing for us to say. "But we can do this—we can look the facts squarely in the face. We must do that before we can hope to abolish the things that now disgrace us." These statements expressed in public print in the South are supremely significant. It is not many years ago when either Mr. Mencken's criticisms or Clement Wood's indictment would have thrown the entire South in a frenzy of rage in which reason and calm judgment would have no place. For generations that attitude has been one of the marks of Southern psychology—the unwillingness and the actual inability to stand even fair and helpful criticism. We can remember how a few years ago the South flared up when the Rockefeller Foundation offered to appropriate money and skilled aid to combat the hookworm in the South. Southerners immediately became insulted at the mere suggestion that that fair section had any such vermin as hookworm. This change of policy in the South, when it becomes more pronounced, will have a vital bearing upon the discussion and adjustment of the race problem. A HUMILIATING CRITICISM Chesterton, the distinguished Eng- lating the American prohibition law last week in London, made a scath- which cannot but be humiliating to this point he said: I asked reverently to follow America's exam- alive in that country, and although I do not that, I do refuse to admit a society in who can meet together while a man in eve- ro and roasts him alive has any right to a morality to the world. Prohibition mora- nal people to a lot of abnormal people." distinguished English author and american prohibition law before the In-london, made a scathing criticism of be humiliating to every American: follow America's example. But they try, and although I do not want to be use to admit a society in which a vast er while a man in evening dress sets alive has any right to set itself up as world. Prohibition means sacrificing lot of abnormal people." Mr. G. K. Chesterton, the distinguished English author and lecturer, in debating the American prohibition law before the Institute Francais last week in London, made a scathing criticism of this country which cannot but be humiliating to every American citizen. On this point he said: "We are asked reverently to follow America's example. But they burn Negroes alive in that country, and although I do not want to be pharascal about that, I do refuse to admit a society in which a vast crowd of people can meet together while a man in evening dress sets fire to a Negro and roasts him alive has any right to set itself up as an exemplar of morality to the world. Prohibition means sacrificing the mass of normal people to a lot of abnormal people." The United States lays itself open to this sort of criticism and it has no adequate answer to make. The opportunity for such criticism has been magnified ever since President Wilson proclaimed the United States as a moral example for the nations of Europe. The moral preachments of America to the world cannot have the desired influence so long as we ourselves are so far removed from what we preach. There is not a nation in the world, from the most enlightened to the most benighted, at which the United States can point its finger without laying itself liable to a stinging, and unanswerable retort. If we call England's attention to her imperialistic practices in India and to the shooting down of unarmed natives, England can immediately point to our practices of the same sort in Haiti. If we call upon Turkey to cease massacring Armenians, Turkey can without hesitation inquire why we do not cease lynching and burning alive our Negro citizens. In each case the retort carries more sting than the rebuke. Of course, America's endeavor to stamp out the evils of drink is more than commendable and it has set a good example to the world. At the same time it is true that there are a number of countries in which an absolute dry law is neither desirable nor necessary. But that does not altar the fact that wherever drink is a social and economic evil the example set by the United States is a good one. This is particularly true of England where drinking is an entirely different thing from what it is, say, in Italy. Generally in Italy people do their drinking out in the open air and sunshine. It is done as a sort of an accompaniment to conversation and there is a great deal of gaiety but comparatively little drunkenness. The masses of people there drink wine in about the same way as people in Kansas drink water and with seemingly no more harmful results. On the other hand, in England the masses drink in close, smoky, ill-smelling "pubs." They drink heavy English ale, whisky and gin. There is very little gaiety but much ribald vulgarity and sodden drunkenness. We believe it would be a good thing if England in some degree would follow the example of the United States regarding prohibition, but at the same time the United States is in no position to insist upon her doing so. We cannot hold up to England our efforts for temperance as evidence of our own moral excellence. It is too easy for Englishmen who are disposed to do so to say, "We may, get drunk but we do not get drunk upon the blood of our own fellow citizens." If the record of America on the treatment of the Negro was clean she could well assume the role of international monitor. The above brings up the reaction in the United States itself on the point raised by Mr. Chesterton. There has been a great deal of discussion in this country in comparison of the prohibition amendment to the Constitution and the Civil War amendments which gave to the Negro the guarantees of citizenship. The disputants are divided into two camps, those who hold that if the government can institute machinery and spend millions of dollars to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment it can as well do the same thing to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and those who hold that if the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments can be ignored there is no reason why the Eighteenth should not be treated likewise. The first argument has law and logic behind it; the second argument is wholly specious. Those who hold that it is not wrong to ignore the Eighteenth Amendment if it is not wrong to ignore the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments disregard the fact that it is wrong to ignore the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. An analysis of the matter shows that while the two Civil War amendments and the prohibition amendment are all parts of the Constitution and should, therefore, be observed, there is, never the less, a difference between the former and the latter. As important as the Eighteenth Amendment may be, it is not fundamental. It contains no grant of rights to the citizen nor and requirement of service from him. It is rather a sort of welfare regulation for his personal conduct and for his moral uplift. The widest application that can be given the amendment is that it deals with the general social and economic welfare of the nation. But the two Civil War amendments are grants of citizenship rights and a guarantee of protection in those rights, and therefore their observation is a fundamental matter and vital not only to the citizen but to the integrity of the government. It is conceivable that citizens of the United States might drink a reasonable amount of alcoholic liquor and still have an enlightened, just and secure government; but continuedyiolation and defiance of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments constitute a menace to the whole institution of American democracy. SKILLED TRADES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Booker T. Washington was a farseeing man. We make this statement without reservation. His ideas were far in advance of white people as well as members of his own race. This great educator was a pioneer of industrial education in this country. His worth will be appreciated more and more as time rolls on. Local newspapers tell us the building employers, labor unions and Board of Education have joined in a big movement to teach industrial education in the city schools. It is thought such a plan will develop an apprentice system that will meet the needs of the building trades. Miss Mary, K. Coleman, executive secretary of the Apprenticeship Commission of the New York Building Congress, says there are in New York 200,000 working boys and girl, who leave school between the ages of 14 and 16 without definite guidance or counsel at a time when it is needed most. "They are not fitted for any trade or occupation," she says, "and are virtually committed to a life of drudgery. They shift from one job drudgery. They shift from one job out of them, and into others almost without end. Some of them have as many as ten jobs in a few years. The first sign they see calling for 'Boy Wanted' or 'Girl Wanted' finds them applying. If a boy starts at one of these jobs he finds out sooner or later he is seeking a man's wages but only fit to fill a boy's job. "And remember there is a shortage of skilled mechanics in the building industry—a shortage growing daily more serious." In the past we have recruited our skilled mechanics from Northern and Western Europe in countries where industrial education has been established. During the last five or ten years the trend of immigration to the North Eastern and Southern Europe. In the years there has never been an industrial education system, and consequently the immigrants are of the unskilled labor type. "The Board of Education is cooperating with us to the utmost and has set aside a fund for the current fiscal year to be used for teachers' salaries. The course of study was outlined by a specialist of each trade and includes technical training which cannot be received on the job. It will be given in all the apprentice classes throughout the city. Regardless of what school the boy attends, he will receive the same course of instruction." The Act assumes that with the Board of Education appropriating the city's money to further a praiseworthy undertaking of this kind the colored student will be given the same training as the white student, and that an understanding is reached with the building employers and labor unions under this new apprentice system for the colored lad to be given the same opportunity to earn a live-labled as his white classmates. If colored and white boys can learn side by side, surely there should be no objection to permitting them to earn their daily bread side by side. DELEGATES TO CONFERENCE The season is approaching when the several divisions of Methodists will be holding their annual conferences and looking forward to the assembling of the general conference next year'. In view of the fact that one of the most important functions of this latter body is the sating of the leaders of the church through the election of bishops. it is well that a solid foundation should be laid upon which to base a wise selection. Those members of the church who constitute both the annual and the general conferences should be fully imbued with a sense of the great responsibility devolving upon them. These delegates should not only be consistent Christians but they should be interested in the full developments of Christianity in the daily life of their communities. On the action of these delegates, beginning with the annual conference and culminating at the quadrennial meeting, depends the future of the church. This fact was very clearly brought out in an editorial published in the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in which the editor claimed that there has been an insidious attempt to discredit not only bishops of that church, but all Negro bishops. This was pronounced a part of the general attempt to discredit organized religion, but it was declared to be more serious with the Negroes, because outside of the church leadership, there was practically no other leadership to fall back upon. While we may doubt the existence of any serious attempt to discredit the bishops' of the race or in fact organized religion, there undoubtedly has developed a sentiment that in neither case have they fully measured up to the growing requirements of the times and the full measure of their opportunities. The editor of the Recorder evidently recognized this failure to meet the emergency, for he admitted that "it has been unfortunate that during the past twenty years, the Negro bishopric has not put forward any great race or Church program." He further said: While individual leaders have in local communities done splendid work the Negro bishopric has not impressed itself upon the race as it should. No great spiritual program for the Negro race has been put forward. At no time, notwithstanding the severe tests through which it has passed, the race has been called to prayer and heeded such a call. While there have been groups which have emphasized the great need of educational power and economical power, the need of spiritual power has not been imposed upon our people as it should be, and there is none for us to look to for leadership in the spiritual affairs of our people except our bishops. With this recognition of the needs of the situation on the part of the church itself, through its official organ, it should naturally follow that measures to provide a remedy will be taken. The first step should be the choice of proper delegates to the various conferences who realize their responsibilities and are prepared to fulfill them. The Kansas City Call in a headline recently called attention to the fact that "segregation is costly and we pay the price." It said: Incidents are coming up continually that show an unfair state of mind in many of the men who dictate the conduct of public affairs. The country home for delinquent Negro boys is complained of by the grand jury because it is expensive to educate the thirty-one eligibles. Separate schools for Negroes are notoriously costly. Segregation in every school is costly. Because we have a dominant white sentiment that demands it is many sections of the United States are committed to it. And worst of all, in these sections, just as here in Jackson county, there is a pronounced effort to make Negroes bear the burden of the added expense. Negroes are免 pected to accept without complaint an inferior public service. Equality before the law, much talked of, exists not at all in railroad service where segregation prevails. Men and women are crowded into one car, no accommodations such as are given the whites. No sleepers even for the sick, meal, seldom, and insults from every white passenger who chooses to disregard the law and smoke in the Negro section of a car. The Call is right. Separate accommodations on the line of race or color usually mean inferior facilities provided at the same price. The caste system has no proper place under a republican form of government. The cost of race prejudice should be assessed on the responsible for its propagation. Commenting on the case of the white high school student in Kansas City, who was shot dead after he had blackened his face and turned bandit, the Dallas Express said: "It has happened before hundreds of times yet in few cases has Fate arranged that it has been found. Hundreds of Negroes in all parts of America have been put behind Col. Lynch, burned at the stake and sent to their Maker in other ways because some white criminal had 'sense' enough and "superior" intelligence enough to blacken his face. Statistics in proof of this assertion would stagger the most incredulous. And yet we go on our way—not serenely; not happily; far from satisfied, for we know that often we are the "goat." How long, Ah Lord, how long?" This masquerading of white criminals under blackened faces accounts for much of the crime charged against the Negro in the South. It is only when the criminal is killed or captured in the commission of the act, that the crime is exposed. The Town City Messenger, published at Clarksburg, commended the presides and faculty of West Virginia University on their action in forbidding the use of cigarettes. It said: One of the saddest after results of the war was the almost universal of this deadly habit by the boys who returned. Little concern seems to have exercised by the American people this evil. We are delighted the day has come when one of our state universities has had the courage to launch out upon this reform to much needed. When our educational institutions begin to forbid the use of cigarettes, it will mean a new day for the leadership of tomorrow. All hall to our State University! The probable effect of this arbitrary action will be to add cigarette smoking to the forbidden pleasures of college life. An educational campaign showing the evils of the cigarette hall might have been a more effective measure. The St. Louis Argus' printed a hurry call to the Attorney General of the State of Missouri for the enforcement of law and order in the protection of its citizens. It said: Two thousand and five hundred Negroes have been shot, beaten, intimidated, threatened, killed or driven from their homes in Southeast Missouri. Hurry up, Mr. Barrett! Law and order has completely broken down. The situation is growing worse hourly. As Attorney General of this State, Mr. Barrett should act at once to restore law and order and protect the respected people in the peaceful parent of their vocation. Their only offense being trying to make an honest living. One of the most important functions of the State is to exercise its police powers to protect all its citizens. But cannot do this, the theory of State rights is an empty vault. The petition of a number of white citizens of North Indianapolis for the re-outing of a street car line, because it runs part of the way through streets inhabited by Negroes and serves as well as others in the matter of transportation, moved the Indianapolis man to say: We suggest that the citizens of North Indianapolis take a few visits to Chicago, St. Louis or New York and learn that if they have to depend on public service utilities, where the growth of all races must meet and mingle, a real sense of humor, and skill, are indispensable. What our friends of North Indianapolis need most of all is not a new street car route but a new alignment of any sort, but a new mind, a new heart, a new will to be better and nobler and to let in, indeed and fair play. That is the kind of spirit that will be inculcated in every community in the United States, the spirit ofance and fair play. The announcement that citizens must train training camps will be established for Negro citizens this summer in the Houston Texas Freeman to following expression: The colored military companies ministered out of the service by Governor S. W. T. Lanham on account of the riot at Brownaville, where it is alleged members of the 25th United States infantry, that up the town were the Colonial Guards at San Antonio; the Island Rifles at Seguin; the Central Guard at Austin; the Lincers at Galveston; and the Code City at Houston. The Fireman companies, which are these organizations, or others who are organized, are included in the order of the secretary of war. The record made by the black troops in the World War showed the number of the race for systematic military training. It was only an uneasy conclusion that prompted many of the State governments in the South to disband the volunteer military organizations concerned of Negroes.

EL PATRIOTA Y EL CIUDADANO. FORMER BETHEL OFFICIALS MUST PAY $2,500 TO CHURCH stood in the dark, made his balls, and pitched them to men whom he conspired with, not only to rob the people, but to damage the name and honor of a man who has done more in the short space of two and one-half years, than any minister who has pastored the church within the last fifty years. "We doubt whether any minister has ever received any appointment and was unscrupulous as was Dr. Thornberg who still stands his ground. He had not been sent by God and not by man. New York would have been too small for him. "Men who are considered the officers of the church, and who should have received him, pointed their fingers of scorn and rehiked him without cause. Women calling themselves Christians spit in his face. Why? Why? But he had been told that he was a man who would not share dishonesty the people's money with them. Then it was decided that no such man would do as pastor of Bethel. The people were not aware of what was going on with the Church's internal affairs, and it would not do to the effect that a president should be off to that could threaten to bear against this man was brought forward. A set of lawyers were given $3,16.20 to keep him out. "Th signe sunt was brought to bear against the Discipline of the Church caused the matter to be reviewed by three Supreme Court judges, who all decided in favor of Dr. Thomson, but after all, 'Old Right' never came to surface until Monday, March 1923, which will always be on the board of trustees of our church. The only one man went on the witness stand, and when their wrongdoing in the handling of the people's money was shown by our side they asked for time. The time they asked for was given them, and when that expired they went to the Judge and asked him to insist that we accept resituation, which was agreed to by the present board, composed of Henry H. Dennis, John Robinson, St. Clair Edwards, Walter O. Smith, W. Applin, Clarence Blank, John Talley, Pope Billups, Joseph Murray. We are compelled to render to Cases that which belongs to Carson. We will give the names of our present board of trustees, we must say that had it be left to the majority of these men, the counter of sitting out the child from the infant would have By JOHN M. HARRIS We see our friend, Joseph W. Price of Albany, is back on the job, having returned from the South with a party of capitals which he takes down and up every winter. It is always a pleasure to join Joe, so he is affectionately called by his friends, and is occasionally good power; nor is it his responsibility that he is a brilliant recounter, but for the simple reason that he is a gentleman — first, second and last—at home, on the road and abroad. In his home city he is looked upon as the social, fraternal and church leader the best elements of the town. Should he be a good citizen of Albany and desired to know "who he who" in the colored social directory, among the first names you would find Mr. J. W. Price; if you were of fraternal affiliations and wished to meet a fellow craftsman you would undoubtedly be directed to meet Joe Price; if you were a friend and preferred the company of the craftsman, you would be called to the company to hire a Dearon Price. So much for the his life life. On the road is where he draws our greatest admiration. He has such a knack in handling all sorts, kinds and conditions of passengers, and does it in such an affable and dignified manner that retentient by those inclined to be over-sensitive is easily dispelled. Abroad he is known from coast to coast—from the snow-dipped mountains of Maine to the sunny borders of Florida; from the turbulent shores of Cape Hatteras to the orange groves of California—as a man of keen intellect and where so tell a good clean story. If the same ever should come that we regret have been a porter we hope our Creator will allow our memory to recall "Joe" Price; we are sure a reconciliation of his personality will cause us to suspect that they did not come any better, purer nor nicer. been dropped; but Brother Dennis contended that something was wrong in Denmark; that the old, board of trustees had made too strong a fight to keep our present minister from coming in, and that we should sift the matter to the end. And this is the result: the wrongdoings of these men were brought to light. It was not an un-Christian move on the devil's works; Themerson, but that the devil's works did not continue in the House of the Lord. "We accepted a settlement of $2,500, and these men acknowledged that we were right, and they were wrong. The compromises was accepted, too, to show them that as 'Christ forgives, we in like manner must also forgive. "We want the world to know, now that all is well with Bethel A. M. E. Church. The present board is supporting our pastor and expel us up for our graves. We hope we will forgive, before he is made bishop, will enable us to get out free from debt. We feel that we have accomplished a great victory for the people. "We do remember that many years ago, in the days of old Sullivan street, corrupt practices among the officials of the church existed; but no man came forward to take the people's part. We are going to ask the people that howevily can prevail and that while we realize that the Connection should have one of the finest churches in the city of New York—we are going to ask the public to forget with us the past doings of dishonest officials. "We have left them in the hands of a BUFFET who who DOEITH ALL THINGS WELL." THOMAS W. TURNER sem was attending the session of the New England Baptist Convention at Aubury Park; the First Baptist Church officers took forcible possession of the Grace Church property, nailing down the windows and padlocking the doors, then securing police guards to the Larsen apartment from the church. On June 18, alleged Rev. Larsen, he with his trustees, was invited to a meeting at the First Baptist Church, and while there he was subjected to an assault by two of the white churchmen. It was also charged that during the period from January to June, 1918, secret meetings at the First Baptist Church were attended by members of the Grace Church, who lent their aid to the conspiracy to get rid of Rev. Larsen. Many other overt acts were cited. In *in filing his suit and in befalling of Grace Church, Rev. Larsen cited, in addition to the church, the trustees, Charles Caldwell, William F. Tilton and Edwin I. Ford, each of whom was also charged. In addition to the First Baptist Church, the Rev. George D. Adams, was included in the conspiracy and assault charges, but the jury, in its verdict, excluded Mr. Adams. For Mr. Larsen and his church, the attorney of record was Henry L. Rupert of New York City. Attorneys Humphrey the treasurer and Solon Liberskid were the last law firm. The white church was represented by Attorney Charles Caldwell, one of the defendants, who says that the verdict will be appealed. In the meantime, Rev. Larsen and his congregation are running steps for seclusion of the property left by Martha Wilson for use of the Grave Baptist Mission.

Arthur Little, commanding the 360th Regiment, New York National Guard, the only colored regiment named for federationization, and the military body that succeeded to the honors and glory attaching to the "Old 159th N. Y.," returned two weeks ago from an extended visit to the battlefields of France in 1814, did such valorous duty as to earn from the Germans the title of "Hellghoppers" and in win from France honors such as few American regiments shared. Officers of the 360th arranged a homecoming reception for their colonel, and this took the shape of a dinner held on Sunday, March 11, at 1.30 o'clock, at regimental headquarters, 58 West 130th street, in the regimental cafeteria conference room of the military. In addition to Colonel Little, other special guests were Mrs. Little, Winslow Little, Fred R. Moore, Miss Lula Morton and Licut Herbert E. Gee. Lieut. Col. Seth B. McClinton made an address of welcome, and this was supplemented by remarks by Fred R. Moore. Col. Little responded, and evidenced deep emotion at the reception given him, with its remarks of esteem and affection from his officers, soldiers and friends. He spoke interestingly of his hip, especially his visit to the sites he engaged in by the 30th which he served as a major under Col. Hayward. The dinner was splendidly cooked by Mrs. Tennie Woodruff, and it was served by Mrs. Mary Bocum and Miss May Jgasup, assisted by ladies of the Women's Auxiliary. After the dinner had been enjoyed, Col. Little and Mrs. Little were escorted over to the regimental armory at 132nd street and Seventh avenue, where a great audience had assembled and their prize being presented to the 369th Cadet Band, an organization of youngsters from 10 to 10, which had been formed by Lieut. F. Eugene Mitchell, band director, in the past few weeks. Lieut. Col. McClintimon told of the work of Lieut. Mikell in getting the boys together and organizing the band, and of what he had been able to accomplish in two or three weeks. He also told of the cooperation given by officers of the regiment, who had voluntarily contributed from their personal funds for the purchase of uniforms and equipment for the band. Col. Little told of his gratification at this outgrowth and expressed delight at the spirit shown. He declared that when the boys had mastered just enough of the music required by military regulations to enable them to take part in military ceremonies, he would risk being court-martialled and order them out as a unit in regimental maneuvers. In speaking of the work of the Women's Auxiliary, Col. Little said striking compliment and interest shown by Miss S. Elizabeth Franer, head of that organization, who was prevented by illness from being present. Officers of the regiment, besides Lieut. Col. McLinton, who took part in the welcome home to the C. O., wore Lieut. Col. George F. Hinton; Majors Wm. H. Jackson, J. Frederick Hahn; Samuel Brown, Winston W. Ergheck, Edwin J. Wood, battalion adjutants; Captain Oscar H. Baker, 1st Lieut. Gregory A. Purcell, Capt. Charles O. Swadman adjutant; Capt. L. V. Mechan, 1st Lieut. Donald H. Cowl 2nd Lieut. Humphrey and Owain F. E. Mikell, 1st Lieut. Owain DesVerey, Capt. D. L. Reid, 1st Lieut. L. A. Pollard, 1st Lieut. W. F. Lucas, 2nd Lieut. F. R. Morse, 1st Lieut. R. A. Atkins, 1st Lieut. Floyd Chavis, 1st Lieut. Harry Miller, Capt. Lafayette page, Jr., 1st Lieut. Paul Lorch, 1st Lieut. John G. Grimley, Captains John Williams and Leo Fitz Neason, and 1st Lieut. Thomas O. Johnson. Mrs. Mattie Jackson Wins Queen's Contest Mother A. M. E. Zion Church was the scene of one of the most unique entertainments of the season on Monday night, March 12, when a Queen's Contest was given under the auspices of the Junior Stewardess Board of that church, Mrs Corine Thomas, president. The entertainment represented the visit to this country of the queens of the country of the country of Hemisphere, a shadow was cast over the affair on Saturday, when Mrs Henrietta Shepard, who was to have represented the Queen of England, died after a short illness. The sudden illness of the Queen of Russia and others in the cast, necessitated several, other changes. Nevertheless the affair went off in fine style, but in awarding the prize—in that of being crowned the Queen—an amends was made down the amounts to be each Queen. Mrs. Mattie Jackson was the winner, having turned in $45.25, but in making the announcement Mrs. Bessie Beardon was named the winner. She was second, having turned in a total of $42.80. Mrs. Bernie L. Austin represented Mrs. Harding and the visiting queens were represented as follows: England, Mrs. Marig Jenkins; France, Mrs. Florence Delachoon Richardson; Italy, Mrs. Mattie Jackson; Japan, Mrs. Bessie Bearden; Shain, Mrs. Ruth Norwood; Russia, Mrs. V. Hooper; Ireland, Mrs. Jennie Dutton; Egypt, Mrs. Kathine, and China, Mrs. Sandifion. The queens and their attendants were elaborately enoined and presented a fine spectacle. The Junior Stewartdes Board wishes it known that although Mrs. Bearden was officially crowned the winner of the contest, they recognize Mrs. Mattie Jackson as the real queen. However, they appreciate the work of all who took part and thank the public for its support of this affair. Bridge St. A. M. E. Zion. A large congregation was present at the 10:45 a.m. m. service Sunday. The morning lesson was read by 2:00 Thompson. The pastor was preached by the pastor, Dr E. E. Tyler. He selected St. Matthew, 28th chapter, later clause of the 20th verse, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." The subject was "The Abiding presence." The discourse was inspiring and uplifting. The morning service, memorial service for Mrs. Lencillo Church, an aged member of the church, was held. She died February 14, 1922, at the age of 100 years. By special request, Revelations 7, 9, 12 was read by Dr. Tyler Joo. Thompson, having known for few years, the church's history, and member of the church. Her hymns were "Dark from the tona a "dolful sound." Darth was the night and "cold the ground." Fade, fade each earthly joy" and "Jesus, lower of my soul." Commission service was held at 3 p.m. The scripture lesson was read by Bro. Duchery. The sermon was preached by the pastor, Dr. Tyler. His text was La Peter, 5:10, "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto Him eternal glory by Christ Jekyll, to thee hallowed your glory while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you." The sermon was eloquently delivered and attentively listened to. Two persons were received in full membership. At 8 p.m. th service was well attended and Dr. Tyler again filled the pulpit. For his text he used St. John 9.4. "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work." His sermon was impressive and inspiring, and many who remained at church all day went home with their hearts full of joy. A junior choir is being organized under the direction of Mrs. Adah E. Tyler, wife of the pastor. Sunday-school convened at 2 p.m. There was a large attendance. Collection was good. Special time was given-to rehearsing music for Easter, under the direction of Mrs. Minnie V. Walker, chorister. Nazarene Congregational Dr. Henry H.

At the evening hour the choir of the Nararene church exchanged with the choir of the St. Paul's Congregational Church (white), with great interest to both churches. In each church there was an unusual audience. The Golden Jubilee Fair closed Friday evening. One hundred and fifty were on the financial-honor roll for February, seven more than were on the January honor roll. Among the visitors Sunday was Secretary J. H.

DEAR MYSTERY GIRLS: Especially "Brownie," "Smiles," and other former officers: In the year past when we organized it was agreed upon to hold a general meeting every third Saturday of the month. Newark was to be the city, and the Y. W. C. A. on Wilkins street, the meeting place and the time 3:30 p.m. Several times I have been over and there was no meeting. On one occasion "Bobbie" was with me. As far as I know we were never notified that the Mystery Girls had ceased to meet there. Now comes the surprising news that new officers have been elected and I am sure that none of the Plainfield重组ed of the election, or that any of them are present at that meeting also, that it was not announced through the column. At a meeting of the Plainfield Girls at "Wes" house one Sunday in October, "Kid Palmer" gave us to understand that the Newark girls were holding secret meetings in place of the general meetings and the meetings were not announced because of their hold exclusive to the Newark girls. The "Mystery Girls" do not comprise the girls from Newark alone, but all the girls in New Jersey that write to the column, and the purpose is to promote friendship and a spirit of helpfulness among the girls: purposes otherwise are not in accordance with the ideals of the club. Gossip strikes at and mistakes trip even if we can rise above it all if we will only cooperate and work, believing "In unity there is strength." DEAREST GIRLS: I wish all of you could have been to the Y. W. C. A. Athletic meet last Friday. Three exciting games of basketball were player. "Snookums," I thought I was going to see you. I must say the New York to see good, good (real) good in their white shirted jacket. "Ethel," I am sure the Mystery Girls would be glad to meet and help you. I shall tell our president, as I don't believe she received THE NEW YORK AGE this week. We will try to be the sweetest of the sweet. Couldn't be any sweeter than that, could you? Hal Ha! The Mystery Girls are having a St. Patrick Frolic at the home of "Clatterbox," Friday evening. March 16. All are welcome at 38 Hoyt street, "Blossoms." I expect to go to Brooklyn next week. Probably we may meet. The National Educational Congress, J. Silas Harris, president, held a meeting here last week. Addresses were made by Prof. Locke of Howard and Prof. Thomas of Dambar High. Visitors in the city the past week included Mrs. Charles E. Hall of Illinois, Mrs. Ora B. Stokes, Mrs. Maggie E. Walker, Col. Giles B. Jackson, Rev. S. A Brown and John Wright of Virginia; A. Helford and Ware Mrs. M. Griffin of Philadelphia B. Jackson of Ohio, Mrs. Griffin left Sunday for New York. Marcus Garvey addressed a gathering of white and colored people at the Pythian Temple Sunday afternoon. Rev. G. H. Robinson of Saginaw, Mich., and Rev. Henry Y. Arnett of Chute, Pa. were in the city the past week. T. M. Campbell, field agent extension work, Tuskegee Institute, is in the city. Dr. M. D.

PAGE FIVE I will try to be more interesting next time girls. Sincerely. For many weeks past I have taken special interest in the "Girls" column and many times have woked to myself that I would write to you. Yet, here it is so long since I have made this vow and only now the results; still better late than early; to be a member of your column—that is a steady member. I do not know whether you pay dues or what you do. Please let me know just what I am supposed to do outside of write to the column. I should so love to meet all you girls. Do you suppose you will all come together some time? If so, I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you. I read the column each time, and I am finished talking with a good friend each time. I finish reading it. "Pit-a-lat," wow, you get in touch with me! I live in Newark also, and like your write-ups very much. I want to meet you, all also the others, but you know the old saying, "we must begin at home." "Alpha," and I should like to retain this name for the column, providing it is not against the rules, or if no one else has adopted the name, I almost forgot to tell you that I am a white girl—but I hope that does not make any difference. I know, you are all AGE-lets are allowed to use the column. Is this right? With lots of love. DEAR GIRLS: I have been reading this column for some time, and I like it just fine. Through my friend "Willimina," I have received much information about this column. For a description, I am five feet, light, complexion, brown eyes and black hair. I am fond of dancing and sports. I latte there Institute and like my studies very much. I joined the Twilight Brownies last summer and they all are lovely girls. Trust I will be accepted in my jolly bunch. Will close with much love to all. "LILL" Augusta, Ga. HELLO, DEAR GIRLS: How are you all now? I guess we are all deciding to do better since Mr. Moore gave us a little scolding, but we girls do not mind that "Atalanta" all the girls are just simply envious of you. I received your letter very much also yours, "Kid Palmer," "Kindness," look for a letter from me soon. Girls, I can't spare any more news to you, though this is not very interesting, but in vain I have made an attempt, a "Kid Palmer," is waiting to see how much each girl is interested in this problem each time as quoted and write. "MARSHMALLOW" Fain6ckl N. L. DEAREST SISTERS: You are not going to get rid of me. I am going to love you often. I love my column, all of my sisters, so I just have to write regular since I was "skeered" by our editor's little note the other week. "Innocent," you old dear, don't you care? look out for a long letter from me soon. Ask your friends "Kindness" about my volumes. This is another one of M. Booker's. LOVE "I once thought of my religion as a preparation for death, but now my religion makes me happy. I see things differently. I wonder why Jesus didn't say that those with the knowledge of invention, or writers, intellectual ability, gift of song, composer of music, a physicist, or a healer, would wonder and did it differently of these ways the greatest. He said the greatest is love. It is in the range of each one of us. The first commandment is to love God with all our souls and the second is to love our neighbor as ourselves. He condensed the 10 commandments and left out all of the "thou shalt not," and just said that one word Love will just as surely as our word Love will just as surely to look around to see just what can I do. It is wonderful to love with the kind of love that forgets all about itself. You cannom conquer by hate. I have come to ask you to love more and show it. The Good Samaritan bound up the wounds of the Levite. Have you bound up any wounds? The greatest command in the world is love. Express it to the people around you. You can be a useful and beautiful use you. In the name of my Lord; I bid you young people to love each other more." THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS In The Realm of Music By Lucien H. White Colored Composer and Lyric Writer Win Place Luckyeth Roberts and Alex Rogers Furnished Music and Lyrics for "Go-Go," Musical Attraction Which Opened Monday With All-White Cast. To all appearances, judging from the reception accorded their work when "Go-Go," a new musical show, opened at Daly's 63rd Street Theatre on Monday night, March 12, Alex Rogers and C. Luckyeth Roberts, who wrote the lyrics and music for the show, have at last come into their own. These two men have worked for a long time, with most discouraging results, but they have stuck to their task and now it seems almost a foregone conclusion that they are so reap substantial rewards. "Go-Go" is given with an all-white cast, headed by the clever and versatile Bernard Granville as the male lead, with Paul Burns and Don Barclay furnishing the comedy. The leading woman is Josephine Stevens, who plays a dual part with calculated balance, ably supported by Lora Sonderson, shapely, agile and red-headed, and May Boley, a clever comedienne. Surrounding these people is a group of dancing and singing chorus girls and boys who emulate to advantage the work of the superlative dancing and singing choruses which put the 63rd Street Theatre on the map—the choruses of "Shuffle Along" and "Liza," the two all-colored aggregations which immediately preceded "Go-Go." This new offering is interesting to readers of The Age because the music is written by Luckeyth Roberts, a colored musician and composer, whose ability has long been recognized, and who has struggled faithfully for a field of endeavor commensurate to his ability. And added interest comes from the fact that another colored man, Alex Rogers, wrote the lyrics for the show. And Mr. Rogers is another who has worshipped long and ardently at the shrine of Thespis, keeping a bright flame of earnest endeavor constantly burning, and never permitting his ideals to be lowered. He has long been an active figure on the stage. Many of the late Bert Williams' most pronounced hits were from the pen of Alex Rogers. It is a compliment of considerable proportion that the play of "Go-Go," so far as the book is concerned, was written by Harry L. Cort and George E. Stooldard around the lyrics and songs of Rogers and Roberts. This is not the first time a musical comedy has been heard as a Broadway production, with an all-white cast, the lyrics and music of which were the work of colored men, but it is no exaggeration to say that no other musical comedy has been given so strong an array of artists or staged with such sumptuous artistry. The work of Luckyedi Roberts is deserving of the opportunity. From the first strains of the orchestra, in the overture, (a potpourri of incidentals making up a batch of "Descriptive Music"), through the course of two and a half hours of song, dance and comedy work, the young Negro composer has succeeded in producing an interesting aggregation of musical effort. In this connection it is worth while to note that Roberts studied piano and composition with another race musician, Melville Charlton. There are at least four songs that give promise of wide popularity. The first one, "Whipperwill," sung by Miss Stevens as "Isabel," has a lift and a swing the catches; "Rosetime and You," the love lyric of the play, sung by Bernard Gransville, a sweet entrancing melody that clings; "Wonderful Dance," a waltz song of alluring sweetness also exemplified by Bernard; and "Uno," a lively, snappy number that stopped the show when characterized by Don Barclay and an agile group of adaptable chorus girls. Then there is "Isabel" and "Go-Go Bug." with "Indian Moon," and a half-score of other numbers, all possessing a merit that entitles them to consideration. "Go-to," with its favorable presentation, and with the prestige given to Daly's 63rd Street Theatre by the two splendidly popular Negro aggregations which preceded it, "Shuffle Along" and "Liza," both of which had long runs—the latter moving to the Bayes Theatre in 44th street to make room for "Go-Go"—gives promise of having a long and prosperous life, and it is hoped, for the benefit of Rogers and Roberts, that this promise will eventuate.

The Harlem Orchestra, E. Gilbert Anderson conducting, presents its second Sunday afternoon program at Renaissance Casino on Sunday, March 18, at 4 o'clock. This series of worthy performances is being promoted by the Musician's Exchange managed by Deacon Johnson, and represents, perhaps, the first serious effort on an enlarged and continuous scale to bring to the race music lovers and exemplification of the higher forms of symphonic composition by a group of race musicians. The two features of the program will be the playing of the first two movements from Beethoven's Symphony, No. 1, in C major, and the appearance of Joseph E. Lymas, concert master, as the violin soloist, playing Iorowski's "Adoration" and Sarasate's Zigeunerweisen, both with full orchestral accompaniments. The orchestra will also play excerpts from Poet and Peasant and Aida. Wm. Service Bell's Tour. A note from William Service Bell, harbor, who is making his first southern tour, informs me that he has found conditions much more pleasant than he expected. He has been away for the past two weeks and expects to return during the next week. He sang an interesting program at Durham, Salisbury and Winston-Salem, N. C. and his itinerary included a number of other points. His program included Handel's "Whereer you walk" from "Semele," "Hark! Hark! the lark" (Schubert); "Down among the dead men" (Old Jacobbean Song); "Gruss" (Mendelsohn); "Die beiden Grenadiere" (Schumann); French songs, "L'Adieu du matin (Pessard)," Le coueur de ma vie; (Jaque-Dalcroze), and "L'heure exquisite" (Hahn). Paht 2 was made up of "Songs my mother taught me" (Dovorak); "The little Irish girl" (Lohr); "What is there hid in the heart of a rose" (Prothero); Negro composers—"Now he the crimson-petal" (Burleigh) and "Eleanore" Coleridge-Faylor; "Homing" (Del Riego); "The fields of Ballyclare" (Turner-Maley; "Tommy, Dad" (Margetson). Recitals at W. Va. Institute Institute, W. Va.—During the present season, the West Virginia Collegiate Institute has had the opportunity of hearing two of the races' most distinguished artists—Clarence Cameron White, violinist, and Harel Harrison, pianist. Besides playing compositions by Miyasaki, Juon, Cun, Thome and Coleridge-Taylor, Mr. White gave a group of his own compositions, which included "Twilight." "Valse Coquette" "On the Bayon," "Negro Chant," and "Negro Dance." Miss Harrison's program was of the high standard which she has always maintained. She showed her loyal allegiance to her old master, Busoni, with whom she studied in Berlin, by opening her program with a group of Bach Chorales, arranged by Busoni, "In The Is Joy," "I Call To Thee, God," and "Now Rejoice Deer Christian." Other numbers were by Chopin, Liszt, Sgambati, Sapillinkoff, and Paganini-Listr. Dett at Morehouse. A recent musical event of considerable interest was the appearance at Morehous College, Atlanta, Ga., of R. Nathaniel Dett, composer and pianist, in a program of original compositions. Mr. Dett, who is head of the music department at Hampton Institute, gave four groups, three of them being suites which have attracted much attention, the Magnolia Suite, the Enchantment Suite and the In the Bottoms Suite. The fourth number comprised two songs, "Zion Hallelujah" and "I'm so glad trouble don't last alway". The Magnolia Suite is made up of five shore pieces. "Magnolias." "The Deserted Cabin." "Lady Love." "Mammy," and "The Place Where the Rainbow Ends." The Enchantment Suite is comprised of "Incantation." "Song of the Shrine." "Dance of Desire," and "Beyond the Dream." The best known and most generally played the In the Bottoms Suite, includes "Prelude (Night)" "His Song." "Honey," "Barcarolle (Morning)"; and "Juba Dance." The last two numbers have been especially appreciated, and the Juba Dance has been programmed by Percy Grainger, the famous English-Australian pianist. In this recital, which occurred on February 10, Mr. Dettr was assisted by the Morehouse College Orchestra, directed by Kemper Harreld, director of music at that institution, which played an arrangement of "Aida" (Verdi-Tavans). Allegro from Seventh Symphony (Beethoven), and Valse Bluette (Drigo). AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE One of the most powerful dramas men on the screen of the Lincoln Theatre in some time is being presented there this week and meeting with an enthusiastic reception. Bearing the title of "My American Wife" and directed by Sam Worid, this feature de luxe presents Gloria Swanson as the star with Antonio Moreno in the leading masculine role. Miss Swanson, as Natalie Chester, in love with an Argentine nobleman, gives an excellent performance. Mr. Moreno, as the nobleman, makes his debut in Paramount productions and a creditable one at that. "Shuffle Along" Goes Big at the Lafayette The Lafayette Theatre is being packed to the doors at every performance this week because "Shuffle Along," the record breaking musical comedy of last year is playing a two week's engagement. Although not to be compared to the original cast, the performance of the third company, is not without unusual merit. The work of the chorus, the dance numbers and the comedy work of Salem Tutt Whitney and Dink Stewart, were the features of the show. The cast includes Russel Smith, Louie Schooler, Bessie Allison, Pauline Peyton, Paul Basa, Joe Purnell, Elizabeth Campbell, J. Homer Tutt, Salem Tutt Whitney, Dink Stewart, Harold Alexander, George Myrick, George Duke, Chick Fisher, Jenny Day, Bessie Sims, Ira Green, Anita Alexander, Anne Washington, Amy Bates, Hilda Bendisher, Jessie Crawford, Marion Davis, Oline Brooks, Thelma McLaughlin, Ruth Lambert, Eloise Estorge, Adline, Jones, Marie Rich, Frida Griffin, Beatrice Cole, Earl Crompton, Charley White, Joe Wilson, Charley Saultus, Louis Davis and Henry Rector.

COMMONWEATH HAS LOST 4 OUT OF 5 TO PERTH AMBOY 5 Home Team Weakened By Saturday Night Game, But Jerseyites Outplay Them. In a series of five games with the Perth Amboy Five, the Commonwealth Big Five has lost four, the last game going to the Jerseyites, 33-31, at Commonwealth Casino on Sunday night, March 11. The game was the closest that has been played between the two teams, and until about five minutes before the end it looked as though Commonwealth would win. But the superior shooting of the New Jersey team gave them the game. On Saturday night, previous to the Sunday game, the Commonwealth team played their roughest game this season against the Oriental Speed Merchants in New Rochelle. The Commonwealth team won easily, 34-10, but the game became so rough that it almost ended in a fight. Hubbard, one of the regular guards on the Commonwealth team, had his knee wrenched so badly that he could not play in the games on Sunday night. Frank Farber substituted in his place, but had not played for so long that he was a handicap to the local team. This party was the reason why the Commonwealth team lost, but, the more important reason is that they were outplayed during the last half of the game. At the end of the first half the score stood 21-15 in Commonwealth's favor. Perth Amboy put the local team on the defensive early in the second half and played all around them for the rest of the game. Thomas, Began and Marrone were the stars for the Perth Antboy team, while Captain Jennings and George Fial did the best work for the local team. The summary of the game was as follows: Field goals—Commonwealth: Jenkins 5, Fial 4, Slocum 2 and Moten 1. Perth Amloey: Thomas 5, Regan 5 and Marton 3. Foul goals—Commonwealth: Fial 2, Jenkins 2, Slocum 2, and Moten 1. Perth Amloey 5 and Regan 3. Reference John Curley of the Bronx Catholic League. New Jersey Tennis Assn.

JUNIOR SPORTS RECORD (By JAMES WARD) The other night at St. Marks Hall, the St. Marks Flashes hung up a 34-28 defeat over the Alpha Moguls, last season's Eastern lightweight champs. At half-time Alpha had scored 16 points. Saturday, March 17, 1923. RRY SMITH TY REVUE Autistic Night teurs ect Form Contest Night 12 by St. Marks. With the opening of the second half, St. Marks made a mad rush, scoring 7 successive goals. Alpha tallied behind, but were unable to keep up with the pace set by Father Plumkitt's boys. Last Friday night at P. S. 89, a monster athletic carnival was successfully staged jointly by Community Centre 89 and the Ragin A. C. The first number on the program was a basketball game between Harlem's wonder team, the Buffaloes, and the Seminoles of the East side, who up until the time of this game had won 29 straight games. The Seminoles made a good start but the Buffaloes' tightening pass soon discouraged them. Score at half-time was 19-5, with Buffaloes leading. During the second half the Harlem boys "left town," only allowing their opponents to score 8 points. The final score was 45-13. Following this seven fine exhibition boxing bouts were put on. The action and pep displayed in them kept the crowd on toes throughout. Among the favorite amateur boxers of Harlem who appeared were Thaddeus Moses, Jon Parriero, Cleve Howell, Roy Flowers, Al Irving, Jimmie Braxton and several others. Several white boxers from other white clubs offered their services, which the Ragin A. C. appreciated very much.

HARVEY'S REVIEW OF BASKETBALL SEASON IN THE SOUTHEAST Makes Suggestions for Betterment of Intercollegiate Basketball. B. T. Harvey, Jr., director of athletics at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. has sent out his annual review of the past basketball season in the southeast, especially with reference to the Atlanta The Editor article reads in part as follows: Tuesday a delegation of Ornaha citizens, consisting of Henry W. Black, President of the Omaha branch of the N.A.A.U.P.; Drs. C. H. and John A. Singleton, the well-known dentists; A. Scott Wilkinson, editor of the New Era and the Rev. John Albert Williams, editor of St. Philip's Episcopal church and editor of The Monitor, went to Lincoln where an interview had been arranged by Representative Robert R. Stromlow, with Governor Bryan to protect against the unconstitutional and arbitrary rule of the Nebreska boxing commission against mixed bouts in this state between white and colored boxers. The delegation, accompanied by Mr. Stromlow, was most courteously and cordially received by Governor Bryan, who had had a most strenuous day. Mr. Black in brief and well-chosen words placed before the governor the ground of objection to the ruling as a violation of both State and Federal Constitution and the Civil Rights Bill of Nebraska and the limitation of our privileges as competitors in this field. It was made plain to Governor Bryan that the committee was not particularly interested in boxing bears, but vitally concerned in the violation of the constitutional rights underlying the ruling. The committee was bypassed by more than 500 representative citizens of Omaha, of both races, requesting Governor McNeilvy to rescind the ruling, was shown Governor Bryan. Governor Bryan said there was no question in his mind but that the committee's contention as to the unconstitutionality of the ruling was absolutely obvious and that it violated both the title and the letter of the City Council and that the committee that he would suitable action in the matter. Under his recommendation that several overcrowding and unnecessary heads of various departments saddled upon Nebraska, Governor McKelvie's Code is discharged and their duties comply with other departments where they are being served, the present secretary of the commission, who has boasted as being as he is in charge, the "college white hoors" in Nebraska, all of which has permitted muted bouts in beards and whites, Japanese and other race varieties, will continue. This may relieve the situation without further action." Smith Univ. Announces Heavy Baseball Schedule N. C.-Manager J. R. Rivera, Jr. of the Johnson C.

HARVEY'S REVIEW OF BASKETBALL SEASON IN THE SOUTHEAST Makes Suggestions for Betterment of Intercollegiate Basketball. B. T. Harvey, Jr., director of athletics at Morrocco College, Atlanta, Ga., has on his annual review of the past basketball season in the southeast, especially with reference to the Atlanta schools, Tumbeer and Hampton. Harvey chains the southeastern championship for Morehouse, as the five from that institution not only won from the other Atlanta teams, but from Tuskegee and Hampton as well. The Atlanta Y. Y. team is included, also, probably because the five were played in the Y. Y. gym. The new gym at Clark University was also the some of games, and Harvey thinks this place, fitted with knockdown seats, would make the ideal basketball court. A resume of the season's record shows that Morehouse won 9 out of 10 games played. The lone defeat was not ministered to by the St. Christopher Five in New York City. Morehouse scored 383 points against 172 by her opponents. Instead of selecting two inter-collegiate teams, Harvey has picked one All-Intercollegiate Team, made up of three forwards, two centers and three guards, such a team as a coach would pick for RYR. His choice is as follows: WORLD ARDOR, Morris Brown; Gates, Morehouse; CENTERS-Woods, Lincoln; Clark, Morehouse; GUARDS-Clay, Atlanta University; Sykes and Bailey, Morehouse. A summary of observations and suggestions ars synopsised by Mr. Harvey as follows: 1—Next season an intercollegiate basketball tournament will be staged in Atlanta, the entire proceeds to be used for a pro game the visiting team expends. 2—A uniform interpretation of holding or personal contact. On a trip in which two successive accredited A. A. U. officials were used, one allowed absolutely no personal contact, with the effect that one of the fastest, cleanest players in the league was resisted. The other interpreted holding to apply only provided a man in possession of the ball attempted to get away, and in the attempt was interfered with, even though the man not in possession of the ball was guarding from the rear with two arms around, hence the game in the last half got from his control and resembled a wrestling match combined with the heavier team having the advantage. 3—It is hoped that next season the schools involved will find means for bringing together teams representing Lincoln, Howard, Hampton, Winston and other college teams. In fact, that the colleges will make a special effort to play college teams in order that the college spirit that porvade intercollegiate activities may not be lost. Some schools to avoid obstructing plays in the center when opposing center was getting the jump, by violation of the jump rule. S. C. State College Girls' Team in Successful Tour (Special Services) Orangeburg, C.C. October Monday, February Coach Staley, known and cared in this section "The Little Colonel," accompanied by Miss James and his squad of cage toers, started out on one of the longest and most extensive tours ever made by a girl's basketball team.

As might have been expected, the girls represent State College triumphantly marched through Georgia from Augustus to Americus, forcing all whom she met to bow before the "Garret and Blue."

Tuscorge Game While on the road the game which was originally scheduled to be played Monday, February 26, was changed by Tuskegee to Saturday, February 24. This unexpected change Coach Staley had scheduled game with the Georgia Agricultural and Industrial College Albany, Georgia. In spite of this disadvantage, in spite of the six posts in the "Gym" at Tuskegee, the Carolina quintet played a smoother wonderful game. At the end of the first half the team was in favor of Tuskegee. The Carolina's only sweep off their feet.

Zion There was unmistakable evidence of the need of a new church when, long before the time of the sermon, all the seats were filled on Sunday morning, March 11. The preliminary service was of an inspiring nature. A statement of the receipts and disbursements was made by the financial secretary. It was made by the secretary to begin building by July 1, $25,000 must be raised immediately. To insure the securing of said amount pledge cards were passed and individuals requested to state the amount pledged. The sermon was delivered by Bishop W. L. Lee of Brooklyn. Bishop Lee is one of those earnest preachers who believe in the hapiness of the soul that is the greatest benefit of his discourse was "The Regeneration of the Soul". He spoke in emphatic terms of the beneficial attributes of fire-while destructive, when uncontrolled, yet it was life giving and life preserving when utilised to benefit the spiritual material. His work is very helpful in instructive and was enjoyed by all. After these services, it was announced that $7,000 had been pledged. This process of pledging will be continued until July 1, or until the entire amount of $25,000 shall have been paid. At 2 p.m., the Sunday-school convened. There was a large attendance. The entire Sunday-school, in all of its departments, is steadily growing numerically and the interest manifested on part of the members in imparting instruction, is indeed commendable.

St. Lukes Episcopal Mission St. Luke's Episcopal Mission, Rev. Scott Wood, vicer, was filled to overflowing last Sunday at all the services Many strangers were cordially welcomed.

The services each Sunday begin with an early celebration at 8 a.m. At 11 a.m. m. morning prayer and sermon. The Sunday-school, having 450 children, enrolled with an average attendance of over three hundred. Dr. Wooda sermon at 11 a.m., was billed as a charter, and 140 book of Numbers, "Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out." The vicar fearlessly and eloquently described sin as a wilful violation of the law of God. He showed that man was born in sin and needed regeneration to place him in a state of grace; that is he must be born again; born of water and the spirit. And then he must continue in that state of salvation, that is he must be born again in grace of God. He said no man can long remain in sin of any kind and escape detection. He appealed to the young men and women to flee temptation of the world. Don't play with fire, it will burn you. Remember the fate of Samson; he dallied too long in the lap of Dellah. Beware of the Delilah of today. 8 m. m. the mission was again filled. The vicar of the vicar's discourse was "Prayer—the necessity and duty of prayer." He said prayer is as necessary to the life of the soul as air is to the life of the body. The lenten season is drawing to a close. Scores of people are being received in the Mission by proper transfers and certificates. The work goes on splendidly. The people are harmonious and the outlook for a church building in the near future is exceedingly bright. Union Baptist Church Very beautifully did the sunburn stream through the church windows Sunday at 11 a.m., upon the large audience present, singing and praising God. The voices of the choir, augmented with that of the congregation, really helped those who had come, discouraged and it was despair, discouraged and it was desperately forget their misfortunes. More cheering and peaceful, however, than the sun without was the sunlight that entered the hearts of those present coming from the message as delivered by the pastor from the subject, "Solomon's vision of the church." The application of the text, "Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, and terrible as an army with beams?" showed deep thought and was indeed interesting. The Sunday-school convivened at 2 p. m. the opening being in charge of Mrs. Holmes. After an hour of deep studying the lesson was splendidly concluded by Mrs. I. M. T. Mowens, held a very gallantning and helpful message was delivered by Rev. Alman Brown, assistant pastor of Metropolitan Church, from the subject: "The Marriage of the Lamb.

The congregations at St. James Presbyterian Church were large and appreciative at both services last Sunday. In the morning, Dr. Hyder occupied the pulpit and spoke from Matthew 16:18. The theme was, "The Church and its miraculous hold upon the people," and outlined the history of the church from its inception down to the present time and said that no other institution could point to a record of achievements comparable to the Christian Church; this, the speaker said, is attributable to its doctrine and practice of human helpfulness. The soloist was George Avery. The services of St. Clair Jordan were conducted at 2 o'clock. The Sunday-school shows steady growth each Sunday. The lenten exercises on Wednesday evenings are attracting large numbers of members of the church. In addition to the regular spiritual program for the community, St. James is in the center for several groups around the church, including the week under the guidance of a trained physical expert for recreational exercise. The new usher board will give its first social on Friday night at the home of Mrs. Nellie Winfield. A large and appreciative audience as well as the family will love "Love" by Mrs. Thayne Booker, Mrs. Booker has a worthwhile message which is so lovely needed in modern social life. The collection for the day was $134. The subject next Sunday will be: "How the distant makes the present at the evening service the theme to be: 'Searching for Cerminiae.'" St. Marks M. E. Church. On Sunday, March 11, the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. E. Church were attended by large congregations. Dr. W. H. Brooks, who has been ill for several weeks, suffered a temporary set back last Thursday evening but the very latest reports from his sick room convey the encouraging information that he is regaining lost ground and making a bid for superintendent. District superintendent Wallace McMullen was the speaker at the morning service and delivered a very powerful and soul stirring sermon. Text: 86th Psalm and 11th verse. Theme: "An organized life." At the morning service one infant, was baptized by Rev. R. A. McCarthy with well chosen and helpful words. In the evening, Holy Sacrament was administered by Rev. R. A.

In the morning Pastor Bolden preached from St. John 17:23, I in them, and thou in me, that they have been so great, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me." The Sunday-school was opened at the initial hour, by Supt. Hogans. At the elapse of the lesson study the堂堂 Easter were rehearsed. The Literary Society convened at 4:30. Miss Maggie Johnson had charge of the program. It was as follows: recitation. Kartline Bland; reading. Mrs. McDora Bolden; solo. Mrs. Bums; address. Mrs. Tate. We were out to hear the wonderful sermon by Pastor Bolden on another of the interesting mysteries in the Bible. He took for his text the 18th chapter of Genesis. The theme was "Abraham, the friend of God." Pastor Bolden explained the life, or a phase of Abrahm, life of the sage. He said, "Many people claim that God is their friend, but how many are really and truly the friend of God." The dinner was served during the day by the choir. The amount raised from the same was $75. The choir was the quarterly report day many people were dot. The reports were rendered at the evening service, and quite a large amount was given to the church from the different auxiliaries. 23rd of March there will be a Grande Musical and Paper Dress Contest. 8000 Harton 8000 Harton ARVONIA & ALLEN HOUSE 1136 West 135th Street.

His text was found in St. John, fourteenth chapter, first verse. "Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me." He explained and pictured so beautifully his subject that no one left without understanding it. The Sunday-school convened at 1:30 p.m. There was a large attendance and the collection was good. Lesson PAGE SEVEN was reviewed by the superintendent, Miss Belia. The classes studied and recited the lesson for ten minutes, then Chas. E. B. Roberts, former superintendent, called the school to practice Easter exercises. After Sunday-school there was a meeting of the teachers and officers of that department.

Dr. Nelson gave an interesting talk on Health last Sunday afternoon to the scholars. The pastor preached to the Love and Charity Order in the evening. Fleet St. Mem. A. M. E. Zion. The echoes of the apostle Paul voice as he defended himself before King Agrippa, awakened in the memory of a vast audience, the christian life and aim of that ambassador of God, who carried the Christian religion, and Brown addressed his audience from the theme, "The Vision of a New Life." The permanent ideals of St Paul, obeying fearlessly his own soul, defying rulers and enemies of the cause, and challenging every opposing force, were the greatest and foremost day Sunday morning. The spirit of the sermon was carried into the Sunday-school when Dr Brown took up the lesson at some perplexing points. No less interest was manifested than the sermon at 6:30A at 7:45" Decay of religion in the soul" was the theme. This was and other powerful and convincing sermon as was evidenced by a number of persons that united with the church. The Imperial Choral Club gave an recital Monday evening at the church under the direction of R. W. Richardson. On March 20, a spelling contest under the aisles of the Floral Club will be held. On Tuesday, March 20, the third quarterly conference will be held. Bishop J. S. Caldwell will make his Episcopal visit to the church the second Sunday in April.

Appomatox Club Starts Education Campaign for Members and Citizens "Party Procedure in Politics" was the subject of the first address in the opening of political education opened by the Apopatian Republican Club on Thursday, March 8, at its club Davies, 2370 Seventh avenue, with Judge Davies as speaker, Judge Davies gave a clear explanation of the party's position, that instead of a district club up to the election of a President. Deploring the apathy towards politics shown by the younger element, he declared that every man and woman, on reaching majority, should affiliate with a district club. He urged the race voters who felt they had grievances against the Republican party to give the party leaders an opportunity to run for office, instead of turning their back on the organization. Referring to the reapportionment of districts, Judge Davies said this would take place in 1925 and he believed the colored voters would be placed in their own district, to run to suit themselves, and this, he said, would be no more than right, because of the progress the race has made. He called the recent appointment of Charles W. Anderson as Collector of Internal Revenue for the Vthird New York District. On Thursday, March 15, the second subject, "The Political Sub-Division of New York County," will be discussed by Col. Charles W. Fillmore president, and former Assemblyman John Clifford Hawkins.

Mr. Broun has a wide reputation as a lecturer and whatever he has to say is well-worth hearing. Misstatement Corrected. The Board of Managers of Hope Day Nursery calls attention of the public to a statement appearing in the current issue of The Crisis as follows: "In 1916, the Nursery was located in Neighborhood Club) and $3,300 off the mortgage of Hope Day Nursery." In fairness to the many friends who worked for the mortgage fund drive and contributed to it, newspapers of the city are requested to state that the drive was held under the direct supervision of Hope Day Nursery which published a report following the campaign containing the names of the contributors with detailed account of expenses, etc. If members of the Utopia Neighborhood Club helped, they gave their support as individuals only, for which Hope Day Nursery is grateful. To credit the Utopia with the responsibility of the understaff, the efforts of many friends who work for no other institution than Hope Day Nursery. Not to correct such a statement would be to mislead the public, which has always rallied to the support of Hope Day Nursery in everything it has undertaken to do. The people of the city are specially proud of the fact that the Nursery is the one institution principally supported and entirely controlled by colored people. Mrs. Alice Clukies, 221 West 12th street, who recently underwent an operation in the Women's Hospital, is now at her home much improved. REV. PARIS DAKER, D.

SEEK NEW MEMBERS FOR WOMEN'S "Y" DURING THIS MONTH During the months of February and March the members of the Branch are making special effort to bring new members into the Association. We believe that this would be a much easier task if the women in Harlem knew just what it means to be a W. Y. C. A. member. Taking it first from the standpoint of the individual, it means that you, yourself, have certain definite privileges here—such as attending various free classes, certain clubs, socials, etc. But far more than this, to be a member means that you are a part of the backbone and strength of a great institution doing a marvelous work for girls and women all over this country and in foreign countries; that you are helping to develop proper physical development (where else could they find a well equipped gymnasium and a swimming pool under trained supervision?); the privilege of expressing innate ability and talent in clubs and classes; the privilege of social companionship with girls of their own age under proper supervision, and, above all, the privilege of helping "to associate young women in personal loyalty to Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord." As a member you are doing these things for girls. You have no less a part in the service which the Branch gives to the general public. There are always chairs enough in the warm, cheerful room, and read, visit with friends or just rest a while. The cafeteria (which is part of the Y. W. C. A. and could not exist without the rest of the plant) solves an acute problem by furnishing food at reasonable prices, under pleasant, wholesome conditions. The dormitory supplies living quarters for about eighty people, and the Registry Department which helps, on one hand, to solve the problem of high rents and, on the other, to supply proper investigated homes to any one in need of them. The public is also served through the Employment Department from which between three and four hundred placement men work. A woman in Harlem, would like to have a part in such splendid work. The membership fee is one dollar per year. Monday night is always a busy time in the Branch. The Domestic Art Department has spilled over into the large club room, which is very grand with its new coat of paint. Here you will be busy with baiting and chilling in making their new Easter bonnets. This is a free millinery class for members—it is not yet too late to get on the waiting list. The regular dressmaking and millinery classes are also very busy for everybody is beginning to feel the urge for new spring furbels. The typewriters are busily tapping in the Commercial Class and savvy odors from the Domestic Science kitchen. Up in the gym on Monday night the young folks skate and such fun they do have. When they have finished at nine o'clock the members' recreation class begins and the gym is the scene of more frolicing. On each Monday night during Lent, the lenten class under the direction of Mrs. Sanders, and those who attend come away inspired and strengthened spiritually. Miss Sarreals, girls work secretary, attended a three day conference of Girl Reserve Secretaries in Hartford recently. There were present secretaries from the District of Columbia to Maine. The Girl Reserve program was discusses and there was an evening of folk dancing and stunts by the secretaries. Miss Sarreals was delightfully entertained by Rev. and Mrs. M. F. Sides. Of the recently gave Dr. and Mrs. A. D. Donnelly a real surprise on the occasion of the first anniversary of their marriage. The staff gathered in the lobby and went together to the home of the Donnelly, carrying with them the requisites for a real party, refreshments and a spirit of gaiety. As soon as Dr. and Mrs. Donnelly recovered from the shock of their surprise they joined in the fun and the party was most delightful. Mrs. Donnelly is an information desk secretary in the Branch. Mrs. Lucile Reid, former placement secretary in the Employment Department, left this work to enter the New York City school system. Mrs. Reid has had years of experience as a teacher. The Employment Department is having many calls for power machine operators. There is also a demand for household assistants. Mme. Sushila Devi of India gave an interesting talk on "The Influence of the Women of India" at the Sunday service, March 4.

Dr. Cooper, his officers and members expressed keen pleasure at having these visiting artists present, and it was a source of regret that the necessity for their return to East Orange in time for evening service at Mr. Olive Baptist Church, of which Mrs. Alexander is the organist, and the singers of the choir, prevented opportunity for further expression of their gratitude.
