Joseph John Will Be Elevated With All the Elaborate Ritual of the Church NATIVE OF GRANADAS, BRITISH WEST INDIES Preparation Has Included Studying in Holland; Carthage, Africa; Canada. On June 11 the Rev. Joseph John will be ordained to the Roman Catholic priest in the Church of St. Benedict, Mary New York City, and on To be ordained as Priest of the Roman Catholic Church, the ceremony to be held at the Church of St. Benedict The Moor. Sunday June 17, he will sing his first strenuous mass in the same place. Attendance at both ceremonies will be invited to members of St. Benedict's congregation at the seating capacity is very small. Roy Joseph Linn was born in Carriacou, British West Indies, in a family of a childless three of whom are now in religious a brother a Dominican triar in France and a sister a Dominican nun in Port of Spain, Trinidad, British West Indies. He has enjoyed the benefits of a very thorough education, he studied his classics in St. Joseph's College, Baltimore, his philosophy at La Salle University, Quebec, Canada, his history in three years with Cardinal Larger, White Fathers in Holland and Carte Africa, and finally two years with the Lyons Missionary Society, Anthony's House of Studies, Hollywood, N.J. The education on June 13 will be a special occasion as at this time of the war, Monday is the day for the ceremonies, when as a general officer in groups of fifty or a hundred the priesthood or deacons are made a note, the four minor orders are made. Roy Joseph John could have been ordained by the others a few weeks ago, and the engagements were not completed. When he student has resided for a long time in different parts of the country, important papers have been written and attested. He must get letters from various bakers, bringing him to the diocese where he is going to labor, and he must obtain a scholarship from colleges where he has studied, and letters of character from the gasters of the church where he was known. These letters necessitate excursion delay. A decorative example, the Rev. Joseph Lloyd, will enjoy the rare privilege of being the entire elaborate ritual of the church for his sole benefit. This asterisk of earnest prayer, hard nosed and severe discipline, this young man will receive the consolation which will make him a priest with the authority to preside the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to administer the Sacrifices of salvation and to offer up the tremendous Sacrifice of Mass. 15TH WAR VETERAN IS A PRIZE WINNER IN BUILDING DESIGN J. H. Watkins, Only Negro in Class, Wins 2nd Prize in Agricultural Drawing. The only Negro student in his class, John H. Watkins, formerly of Virginia, resides now at 2374 Seventh avenue, was awarded second prize in the design contest for a public building or facility, being to fourth year class in architecture drawing at the Peter Cooper Univ. Watkins came to New York prior to the recent World War and enrolled at Cooper Union. He also became a member of the band of the Old 15th New York Under direction of the late Leroy Lund Reese Europe, going with that organization to France when the United States went into the war. Returning to America, he reentered Cooper Union as a student in architectural drawing. The drawing submitted by Watkins enriched the design of bank building and shared much commendation at the annual public exhibition of the prize drawings held at the school on Friday evening, June 1. The second prize, furnished by F. K. Stuigis, was $10 in gold. The New York Age The National Negro Weekly NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923.

C.—Now that it has been definitely settled that the Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee Institute will be manned by a Negro personnel, from the maze of intrigue, petty politics, inspired calumny and well-meaning criticism by some not familiar with what has been transpiring on the inside, there emerge two facts that are incontrovertible. 1. The honorable part played by President Harding in making good his promise to Dr. Robert R. Moton to personally see to it that Negro physicians and nurses would be put in charge of the Government Hospital. 2. The firm stand taken throughout the controversy by Dr. Moton, who was brought face to face with a situation of great delicacy. Demanding that he recede from his position in advocating a Negro personnel for a Negro hospital in the South were the Governor of Alabama, representatives of the American Legion in that State and other, white people who were willing to close their eyes to the "social equality" issue for the tempting salaries, which they evidently thought were too good for Negroes. The situation was one calling for tactful discussion and diplomatic action on the part of Dr. Moton. Like Booker T.

Va.—After twenty-one years as teacher, the latter period of which was spent as head of McDowell County public schools, Roscoe Conkling Bruce has tendered his resignation, to take effect at end of present school term, and will enter Harvard Law School, Cambridge, Mass. This is in accordance with the desire of his mother, the late Mrs Blanche K. Bruce, who died February 15 last, and who requested her son to devote his future life to law and literature. In order that her son might be able to accede to her wish, Mrs. Bruce made ample provision in her will for this purpose. When Mr. Bruce enters Harvard, his wife, Mrs. Carrie Burrell Bruce, who has been associated with him in the Mr. Dowell schools, will take up the study of law at the University of Boston, and the Bruce children will enter the Cambridge schools. It is indicated that Mrs. Bruce based her request in this matter on the recent corrispondence controversy had by her son with President Lowell of Harvard on the question of admitting Negro students to the Harvard freshmen halls, the outcome of which was a vote by the Harvard Overscene overruling the position taken by President Lowell barring the colored boys. The discussion was precipitated by an application filed by Mr. Bruce for the admitting of his son, now a student at Amherst, at the conclusion of his term of study in that school, sometime in 1924.

ROCHESTER CHURCH, J.E. ROSE, PASTOR HAS DONE FINE WORK Raised During Past Year $14,997.12 and Has Cash Balance of $7,707.24. (Special to The New York Age) Rochester, N. Y—The Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, the Rev James E. Rose, pastor, has just completed the most suc cessful year in its history. Financial reports from every department showed total receipts of $14,977.12 from all departments, with total expenditures amounting to $6,349.88, leaving a balance in the various treasuries of $7,707.24. The balance brought forward from last year was $1,056, showing that the church has actually raised this year $11,900.94. The pastor's report shows that at the beginning of the year the membership was 104; during the year 108 new members have been added—50 by baptism. Two have been lost and the present membership is 300. Plans are under way for the erection of a new church building, as the present one is wholly inadequate.

Body of Colonial Young Interred at Arlington With Solemn Ceremony (Second to the New York Age) Washington, D.C. With elaborate and appropriate military ceremony, the body of Colonel Charles Young, United States Army, was laid to rest in the National Military Cemetery at Arlington, Va., on Friday, June 1, following arrival of the body in this city from New York City, where memorial services were held on Sunday, May 27. The James D. Walker Post, American Legion, of this city, acting for the Col. Charles Young Post, American Legion, of New York City, which held charges of the memorial service, served as escort for the body, accompanied by details from the regular army detachments situated around Washington and the District of Columbia National Guard. The body was returned on an artillery caisson, upon an artillery escort. At Arlington, the service was conducted by Major O. J. W. Scott, retiring former chapain of the 100th Cavalry, United States Army, with Col. Axton, chief of the Coyote of Chaplains, U. S. A. The burial of Col. Young marked the first funeral ceremony held at Arlington since the interment of the body of the "Unknown Soldier" brought back from France.

Then the town marshal, backing up his fellow ruffian, went out of his jurisdiction, crossing the town limits, to arrest the bishop, hailing him back to the town hall, where, after threatening to kill him, telling about having already killed "four niggers," the marshal locked the bishop up in the town prison on trumped up charges of drawing a pistol and resisting an officer. Bishop Wallace was kept in confinement about an hour, friends in the meantime having gotten in touch with the mayor, Lawyer Branham, and President Hollis of the First National Bank, three of Warren's most prominent white citizens, the latter two being personally friendly to the bishop and closely associated with the work at Waters Institute.

Marcus Garvey opened up the matter of his defense by attempting to introduce matters which would prove a connection between the United States Shipping Board and his own prosecution, but Judge Mack ruled this out. He then introduced as his first witness for the defense "Lady" Henrietta Vinton Davis, who holds a high executive position in the U. N. I. A. The prosecution closed its case on Friday, June 1, and Garvey asked, for an adjournment until Monday in order to assemble his witnesses. The request was granted by Judge Mack. In the final days of the first two weeks of the trial, during which time the government presented its case against Garvey, several former officials of the U. N. I. A., testified against their erstwhile chief. "Sir" Sidney de Bourg, leader of the West Indies, declared that Marcus Garvey had gone broke while in Jamaica from "playing the races," and that all Jamaica had been talking about it ever since. The most interesting feature of these last days was the testimony of two government accountants from Washington, who had made an investigation of the hooks of the Black Star Line. These men testified that although they found only $31.75 in actual assets, there were in existence visible liabilities to the amount of $731.432. As some 43 out of 100 stock books continued missing, their witnesses estimated that additional liabilities, invisible as the drugs, might be estimated at at least $3,000 more.

A Sacrifice to Prejudice After talking the matter over with Bishop Wafface, they told him that while they decided to the fullest extent the injustice and humiliation which had been heaped upon him, there was absolutely no redress. In fact, he was told that in order to appease the wrath of the whites it would be necessary to place him on trial on the charges made by the town marshal, unsupported though they were by evidence of any sort. And he was further advised by these good friends that it would be suicidal for him to fight the charge—the wise thing was to take a plea and pay a fine.

The Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, former pastor of Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, has lost his suit in Supreme Court for a divorce against his wife, Mrs. Anna M. Carpenter. A jury and Justice Aspinall found that Mrs. Carpenter had not been guilty of mis conduct with Alexander Fuller, as Rev. Carpenter alleged in his complaint. Mrs. Carpenter was represented by Attorney Jay S. Jones, and is now living in Massachusetts. Rev. Carpenter is pastoring in Buffalo, N. Y. John J. McGiminis, attorney for the plaintiff, states that under the law of this state, Rev. Carpenter was prohibited from giving any testimony.

Despite this the jury was out ten hours before bringing in the verdict. treasurer of the Black Star Line, told about money taken by Garvey in Philadelphia. When Garvey, as counsel for himself, attempted to insinuate that Powell was hissing his testimony on hearsey, Powell indignantly repudiated the immination and asserted that he had actually seen Garvey get the phone, and had seen him get blank checks, also. In opening his defense on Monday morning, Marcus Garvey, counsel for Marcus Garvey, charged that a jealous clique, twenty-five stockholders out of 400,800, had caused all the trouble; that the U. N.

WATSON Watson, president of the Clubmen's Beneficial League, at the club headquarters by members and friends. More than 200 were present and partook of a menu of fried chicken, creamed potatoes, lettuce and tomato salad, ice cream and cake. Michigan C. Brown served very acceptably as master of ceremonies, and called on the following speakers: Dr. James A. Banks, Captain D. Lincoln Reid, Archie Roberts, Mr. Smith of the Coachman's League, Col. Charles W. Fillmore, Fred R. Moore and the Rev. J. W. Brown, who presented Mr. Watson with a purse of $400 as an expression of the confidence and esteem of the organization. Mr. Watson was almost overcome with surprise, but responded with a short address in which he pledged to continue to work in the interest of this organization for four and a half years. When he became its head the club had less than $5,000, but now it has $26,000 in cash. Its bylaws have recently been changed so that the club is permitted to invest surplus funds in real estate. This will add to its earning power, since this money only draws four, per cent, in the savings banks. The membership of the organization is now more than 1,300. The public has had the impression that membership in this organization is limited to only those who were employed in various clubs of the city, but this has been changed so that any respectable person may become a member who compiles with the rules and regulations. Short addresses were made by J. H. McCoy, vice president of the club and H. R. Walters, chaplain. The committee on refreshments was John H. Braxton, Henry Hebron and Robert T. Kenny.

Miss Savage, studying sculpture at Copper Union, New York City, was notified, after her application had been accepted, that she could not attend the Fontainebleu school because of her color.

The difference in the Harlem secrete and consumption of "hootch," know under certain conditions, just as much as there ever was. ere is any more, because there acle in the way of the thirsty the stuff he could pay for or travel with. Of course there are a number of new places opening up from day to day, but most of them are opened by men who are already in the business, and who find need for reinvestment of profits which accumulate faster than they can ordinarily be spent. So, to prevent the piling up in their coffers of unproductive wealth, they proceed to another neighborhood, or maybe another block in the neighborhood where they are already and open up another "hootch" joint, making it possible for patrons to buy "poison" where poison was never before. Just why Lenox avenue should have had almost a monopoly of this business for so long a time would be hard to explain. Certain it is, that when prohibition was first enacted, the only places on Seventh avenue catering to the thirsty element were those cafes that erstwhile had been legitimate saloons—legitimate, that is, prior to the enactment of the 18th Amendment. There are a few of them remaining. One is at 133rd and Seventh avenue, and another is at 135th and Seventh. The latter, however, has transformed itself to some extent by a bona-fide restaurant, catering to a clientele that is rather select—but it is said that for the wise there still remains a hope. New "Hootch" Joints Opened As against these lonely landmarks of the days of old, however, there has sprung into being within the recent past a host of caes, delicatessens, and other places, that are catering to the "hoochch" consuming clientele with wide open doors. Some of these places camouflage their real purpose by displaying signs indicating that the place is being run solely to serve "Business Men's Lunches," and a bill of fare, showing scores of tempting dishes, printed out in large letters, is conspicuously displayed. Other places are to all intents and purposes the most innocent of cigar stores. So now, it is said, Seventh avenue is a fair rival of its sister thraughfare over to the East, and the dry are saved that long hitherto necessary pilgrimage for the slacking of their thirst. There is another sinister element beginning to disclose itself as a factor in this situation. Some of these "hoochch" joints, if is alleged, are taking on the atmosphere that was to be found in the more notorious of the pre-Volstead days resorts. Rumor has it that certain gangsters, thugs, pickpockets, frail women who lend themselves as lures and other gentry of that ilk, are to be found at times making themselves very much at home in such of these dives as possess the rekuisite back-room seclusion. That the representatives of the majesty of the law know of these conditions is hardly to be doubt, since they can be seen at any time, day or night, it is alleged, hanging out in andaround these places, in many instances, it is said, in close and confidential confab with either the owners or the operators. In fact, it is rather well authenticated, according to the number of incidents reported, that some of these officers, are in receipt of a tidy income from the selling, at cut rates, of booze which comes to them without cost of any sort. Lenox Avenue Delicategens To go back particularly to Lenox avenue, the most conspicuous signs to be seen are those adorning the fronts of a series of delicatessens. On all of these signs will be found blazoned in glowing red letters of considerable dimensions the name, "LOUI". But to confuse the unwary, perhaps, or to prevent wonder as to nativity of the original, there will be found added an "S", making the sign read, "LOUI'S", and nine of ten would take that to be the ordindry everyday name of "Loui" in the printing of which the sign painter carelessly injected an apostrophe. Well, "LOUI" has a number of delicatessen places, so called, but in every one of them the main commodity is "hooch". It was into one of "LOUI'S" places that an unapostolicated lady walked one day and when she innocently asked for some pig's feet was hinder a half pint of gin. And it was in another of the "LOUI'S" places that two Brecklynites curate home after a late theatre party, diving a light PAGE TWO sandwich to fortify them on the long subway ride to the City of Churches, were informed that the only most fair sale in that place was "corn" or "gin". But according to information at hand now, "LOUI" is getting ambitions. He is not closing up his "booth" delicatessen, but it is alleged that he is fixing his eyes upon that famous (or insamous) Harlem pleasure resort known as "Shuffle Inn," located in the 181st street corner basement of the Lefayette Building at Seventh avenue, and that he is hoping to be permitted to reopen that place as a cabaret. The question agitating the "booth" hounds is: "Will he serve Lenox avenue booer (65 cents a half pint) to Seventh avenue cabaret patrons at cabaret prices (75 cents a drink—45 a half pint)?" Chain of "Malt Parfora." A short while ago there was only one "Malt Parlor" on Lenox avenue and that was personally attended to by its owner, a fat fellow known to its habitues as "Chief". With the advent of the Volatad law, "Chief's" fortunes changed. He no longer attends his "Malt Parlor" in person. He has three, instead of one, and all of them are managed by his Negro employees. Of course he keeps his keen personal eye on the whole proposition, but he drives uptown about dark in a big, powerful, neutral colored machine that attracts no particular attention. His chauffeur stops a block away from the "Malt Parlor", and female members of his family are usually in the car, to give the appearance of just an ordinary family party enjoying an afternoon or evening ride. Then "Chief" quietly emerges from the car and even more quietly makes his way to the "Malt Parlor," where he looks things over, gets a report of the day's doings, finds out if any fresh cop has been trying to hold up any of his men, and quietly cases out from the place to walk back to where he had left his car. But at some period during his visit, he has made it convenient, of course, to take charge of the cash that has accumulated since his last visit. And then, once more in the bosom of his family, he makes a quiet sneak to within a block of the next of his "Malt Parlors," and the same program is gone through. "Chief" is not as spectacular in handling supplies as is "LOUI" and other of the bootlegging gentry. These others, employ, in a number of instances, high powered cars, with details of helpers, to transport "hootch" to their various places. Not so "Chief". One of his trustworthy colored boys, with a rusty crocus sack thrown across his shoulders, attracts far less attention and is immeasurably cheaper. And then if some busy cop should take a notion to investigate the contents of said sack, why it would be a matter of the confiscation of not more than one or two gallons. But a car might be confiscated, and the load might be at its peak, when minions of the law, whose palms were dry and itching for lack of golden grease, came along, curious and unsophisticated, seeking wisdom and knowledge and finding "hootch". Nesting Place for Vultures There are other places on Lenox avenue and on some of the crosstown streets that object to being classed with the delicatessen, malt parlor and cigar store dives, pretending, as they do, to be running high-class cafes. There is one newly opened at 73 West 135th street, it is alleged, and its strongest claim for patronage is that there will always be plenty of 'jumpsteady'. And it is further alleged that judging by the loud talking, objectionable language, to say nothing of the imagined actions, that this place is making a valiant effort to keep its promise. Over at 131st street and Lenox avenue is another so-called saloon, the general character of the place being attested by the fact that a lookout is continually perched upon a high seat from which he commands a fairly sweeping view of approaches to the front door, the presumable reason being that warning might be given in time to the dispensers behind the bar should his eagle eye note the approach of a suspicious looking personage or an agent of the law who had not been properly taken care of. It is places of this type, say those familiar with conditions, that furnish convenient nesting places for those who hatch schemes for fattening themselves at the expense of the unwary. The question is asked: "How long are the Negroes of Harlem going to be gouged and degraded by these vultures?" 135th street between Lenox and Fifth avenues needs the attention of the police.

Dismiss Teacher Because of His Personal Opinion On Question of Equality New Orleans, La.-Because he expressed the personal belief that there are no artificial distinctions between human beings and that so-called "Social equality" is a matter of individual choice. James F. Browne, teacher in McDonough School, No. 3, was dismissed from that position by vote of the New Orleans Parish School Board. Browne was charged with writing a letter to the supervisor of colored schools, Assistant Superintendent Amos C. Harris, following the reproduction of a clipping from the Pacific News Bureau concerning race distinction in Kansas in the New Orleans Bulletin, of which Browne is the editor. The board found that Mr. Browne had not taught school equality in the school room, nor had he advocated it in the columns of his paper, but because he was man enough to declare that this personal belief is that there are no artificial distinctions, such as differences of color, he was adjudged unworthy to hold a position as teacher in New Orleans schools and was dismissed.

Robinson of this city. It appears that some months ago Dr. Hayne desired to move his residence to New York and sell the equity which he had in a house in Tea street. Mr. Robinson, who is a real estate broker, had a client who wished to purchase a house in that neighborhood and on a certain evening he took the client to see the house. Haynes was then living in the house. The client agreed to buy the house and it take her the following morning at 10 a.m., again to the Haynes house when she would put up the deposit money, but in order to save paying the commission, Mr. Haynes got up very early in the morning and went to the home of the client and told her that he had a message calling him to New York and he would take the deposit and give her a receipt. The inexperienced client gave Haynes the money and when Robinson reached her home Haynes was enroute to New York. Service was had on Mr. Haynes and he was required to put up a cash bond of $500 for his appearance. It took the court only a few minutes to decide in Robinson's favor and ordered Dr. Haynes to pay the full commission of $300 with costs of court.

Medical Colleges Needed. In a communication to THE ACA, printed in another part of this issue. Dr John P. Turner, president of the National Medical Association, directs attention to a serious situation in the matter of securing medical education, for students of the race. Among other things, he says that Northern and Western colleges are discouraging the matriculation of our students desiring to take this course, and on the other hand the race has but two purely medical schools. Howard University and Meharry Medical College. The requirements of most of the states, as a preliminary to taking the examination for a license to practice medicine, include the completion of a course of study in a Class "A" medical college and a year as interne in a Class "A" hospitals. Dr. Turner names eight Negro hospitals that possess this rating. Then the preliminary training of the medical student must have been received in an approved college, of which there are cited but six Negro institutions with "A" ratings. These are some of the obstacles that lie in the way of increasing the annual output of Negro physicians, from the present number of fifty to the number of five hundred, which was pronounced necessary by a recent medical writer in discussing health conditions of the race and the way to better them. Dr. Turner makes certain suggestions intended to meet the difficulties pointed out and to solve the problem of providing adequate medical education to meet the growing needs of the race. One of these is to make it possible for Shaw University at Raleigh reopen its medical department, which was closed a few years ago. The other is to raise endowments to meet the needs of Howard and Meharrar, so that these two schools can continue the good work that they have been doing on a larger scale. A drive to meet the requirements of the former institution has been in progress for some little time, with no imaging results. The same thing should be done for Meharrar. As to the reopening of the Leonard Medical School at Raleigh, Dr. Turner makes out a good case in favor of the feasibility of such a plan. Those in charge of the institution and the physicians of the race who are familiar with its past work, should be able to decide whether such a course would be practical and productive of good results. The plan for the race to support financially three first class medical colleges should be heeded. Opening Southern Eyes. One of the effects of the continuing migration of Negroes from various parts of the South, especially from the country districts to northern and western cities, has been to open the eyes of discerning white Southerners to the onerous conditions which have promoted this movement and still keep it alive. Frequently the admission of the causes which have led to the present bira, is unintentional and dropped by the way, in the course of an argument. This was illustrated in a letter written by a white resident of Tupelo, Miss., and printed in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, discussing the question of immigration and labor. The writer of this letter, W. E. Campbell, evidently differed with the capitalistic nations favored by the head of the steel trust and the owner of the New York Herald as to the adversability of letting down the bars to foreign immigration. He started out by asking such pointed questions as "Have we not had quite enough immigration from the slums and crime beds of Europe?" "Have we not ignorance and crime enough as it is?" "We have more traitors, Reds, Communists and bolsheviks now than we can control. Why invite more?" He suggested that if "our Negroes" continue their Northern migration, there being no law to prevent it, "why not replace them with our own decent, self-respecting, law-abiding Americans." But even this white writer from Tupelo realized that "decent, self-respecting, law-abiding Americans" would rather shy of seeking homes in Mississippi, where the black tenant farmers are robbed of their shares of the crops as well as their suffrage. So he added this injunction: "Make the conditions right; and watch them flock to it, but they will not accept what even Negroes can no longer stand." This candid admission is an involuntary tribute to the long suffering ender ance of the black people of the South, who are now striving toward the light. If the conditions were made right for them, they would not be abandoning the farms and plantations of the South to seek work in the industries of the North. Southern eyes are slowly opening to the verities of the situation. A further contribution to this process of opening the eyes of the white South to the real causes of unrest among the Negroes was made in the Commercial Appeal by the publication of an article by the Rev. T. O. Fuller, head of the Howe Institute of Memphis. In a calm and dispassionate manner Dr. Fuller, who does not favor abandoning the South as a place to live, detailed his efforts to get at the real facts and conditions. Among other things he said: One Negro farmer suggested that the causes are external and internal. As to the external he mentioned higher wages in northern industrial centers, better housing and living conditions, better schools, the influence of relatives already gone, recognition of citizenship and the ever present labor agent who spreads propaganda to create unrest that he may fill his contracts for laborers. He said that it would hardly be possible to stop those who had already made up their minds, but it was possible to institute such reforms and create such conditions that would prevent others from making up their minds. The internal conditions, he said could he remedied by a definite programme speedily adopted and vigorously carried out. Among other things he said: 1. Let the rural south lengthen the school terms, build better school houses, and employ better teachers. Besides, encourage education among Negroes, gather than discourage it. 2. Land owners are non-residents he said, having moved to Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans, leaving the tenants and laborers at the mercy of cruel farm losses, who abuse and exploit the Negroes without mercy or justice. The farm hosey show a preference for the shifttless and improvident classes and make it hard for the thrifty, who wish to get up in the world. He said they were maltigated on the slightest provocation and made to get along with the same discomforts as the shifttless class. These conditions could easily be remedied, he said, and a long step toward quieting the unrest would be taken. It is the thrifty Negro on the farm, in the towns, and in the cities who dislikes to change his residence because he realizes what a loss is entailed in breaking up and moving. Dr. Fuller's article was commended by the Commercial Appeal editorially as coming from one speaking "without prejudice and without passion and what he suggests to the white people on matters of current importance should be needed" The Commercial Appeal, whil claiming that "locally the lot of Negro has been satisfactory," said: There is one thing yet to be desired, while the Memphis Negroes are no longer exploited by the various white people and by the vicious dives and from gambling, it is still a fact that many of them are dragged through magistrate, courts and are exploited by loan sharks and other such gentry. A law-abiding Negro should have the protection of the law, his property should be his own and his home should be his castle. It is just as bad to break into a Negro house without a warrant as into the home of any other citizen. The process of opening the eyes of the White South can be materially advanced by such candid discussion of the question as that promoted by the Commercial Appeal. However, the Governor does not devote the last couple of hundred words in his memorandum to the positive side of the question. He states that because he believes there is nothing to be gained either by the nation or the state by the retention of the Mullen-Gage statute, while on the other hand he believes its repeal is of distinct benefit in the preservation of the rights of our people in that the repeal in no way nullifies the Volstead Act but fastens the responsibility for primary prosecution of the laws and enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment where it should be, upon the federal authorities, he approves the repeal. It may be that taking away the help of New York State in the enforcement of the Volstead Act and placing the responsibility on the Federal Government will add to the effectiveness of enforcing prohibition, but at first glance it looks very doubtful. The Detroit Independent, under the title of "The Three Cornered Situation," noted a striking coincidence in some advice given from the pulpit to the news. It said: Four leading ministers, without prearrangement or previous understanding, last Sunday, took their texts upon the theme dealing with the religious, civil and financial status of the colored people in Detroit at present; also was there a warning against the storm after the calm, or the reversals that follow the high waves of prosperity. In each instance the ministers warned and advised. Make shay whilst the sun shines. Too much fine clothing, too much gasoline being burned and too little money placed in banking institutions or in homes was a pertinent angle of the texts-all. Detroit only listened so far, what action will follow is watched eagerly. Another interesting phase of this question is, what will President Harding now do after his famous letter to a citizen of New York on this matter? Dispatches from Washington intimate that as authority is being sought to use the Navy to abolish rum runners, authority may be also sought to place federal troops in New York State, if necessary, to stop smuggling over, the Canadian border and to enforce prohibition throughout the State. But the placing of federal troops in a state for any such purpose would be so revolutionary a departure there is no telling where such an experiment would lead. The warning and advice given by these pastors show that they are solicitous for the true interests of their people. The tendency to neglect thrift in the time of prosperity is too common a failing. The injunction to save money and buy homes is always in order. The listens to this advice should follow the lines of safety in making provision for the future. EXODUS TANTAMOUNT TO A WHOLESALE STRIKE. Newspapers in the South are daily featuring the exodus of Negroes from that section. A recent issue of a daily paper from Jacksonville, Fla., carries three columns on the subject. It appears that steamship lines touching at the port of Jacksonville have given notice that they will have to curtail their service unless something is done to retain sufficient labor to load and unload the ships. The Louisville News under the heading, "Former Louisville Bry Makes Good in Philippine Islands," told of the career of Dr. James H. Fitzbuther in that distant insular possession. It said: Dr. Fitzbutter left Louisville 18 years ago and most of the time has been spent in Manila, and the Philippine Islands. He is home again, having arrived last Friday and is touring the States in his huge powerful car. He leaves Saturday for St. Louis, Chicago and New York, thence to the Islands. That Dr. Fitzbutter should make good in the land across the seas is not surprising, as he was regarded as a wizard in medicine while here, in the days when the colored physician was a curiosity, and when colored people were afraid of colored doctors. Even then Dr. "Jim" Fitzbutter was regarded as a "good and smart doctor." Dr. Fitzbutter reached the Philippines in 1905 and was employed by the United States Government as bacteriologist in the Bureau of Agriculture. He was transferred to the Bureau of Science, Government Laboratories in 1917. It has been found that increases in wages for dock laborers from twenty-five to thirty-five cents an hour, of ship laborers from thirty to thirty-five cents an hour, and of gang heads from thirty-five to forty cents an hour, have had no appreciable effect. Lumber companies in Florida and in southern Georgia and southern Alabama are also feeling the pinch and are taking part in the discussion. Some of the leading lumber men have stated that "the convict leasing system and the fee system in the smaller camps have been working badly as regards Negro labor." One statement declared that "A Negro arrested is a Negro convicted" in the average justice-court. This same Jacksonville paper carries a long letter from Mr. N. K. McGill, a prominent colored attorney of that city. It is a plain, outspoken letter on the situation. The consensus of opinion in all of these southern journals is that something radical must be done and done quickly. From a state as far north as Virginia comes an editorial statement in the Richmond "News-Leader" that "The South, finally, must improve the living conditions of its Negro workers, who are now in a veritable migration and are going wherever they have the promise, however illusory, of better things. They no longer are held This is an example of the opportunities that open to the skillful and devoted practitioner abroad, as well as at home. The former Spanish colonies now under the jurisdiction of the United States have proved a fertile field for profes- back by timidity or by ignorance of the outside world, as once they were, and many of them are pathetically susceptible to the lure of high wages, even for temporary employment. If the South is to retain these Negroes, it must make them as contented as is practicable. In some places, this calls for better treatment and freedom from fear; everywhere it means better homes and, generally speaking, better pay." This northern movement of Negroes is in effect a wholesale strike. In this migration the colored people of the South are bringing into play the economic power of their labor which is naturally more effective than any mere appeal to sentiment. They are exercising a power which is forcing consideration on the part of the white South and which is bound to bring about beneficial results. However, for the good of the white South it is necessary that the entire condition be taken into consideration. If white people of the South go on the theory that Negroes are leaving merely because they will get a few cents more an hour for their labor, they are proceeding along a mistaken theory. In this exodus we have an exemplification of the truth that man does not live by bread alone. The/Negro in going North is in quest of more than mere bread. It will also be a mistake for the South to feel that a little more kindness of treatment will alter the situation. Underneath the whole condition is the desire and determination on the part of the Negro to be treated as a man. THE DISCOVERY OF DETECTIVE BURNS. It is expected that a detective, and especially such a one as William J. Burns, head of the United States Secret Service, would know a great many things that the public does not know. It is the business of a detective to unearth unknown facts. But it appears that Mr. Burns has detected too much; in fact, he has detected something which actually does not exist. In a speech delivered the other day at Atlantic City, in which he pled for power to drive radicals out of the country, Mr. Burns said, "Every big strike in this country may be laid at the door of Soviet influence and propaganda." It is entirely too easy to charge up every disagreeable condition to Soviet government and to Bolshevism, but there is a limit. Mr. Burns' statement might carry a little more weight if it were not for the fact that every American citizen of age must know, namely, that there were big and serious strikes in the United States long before there was any such thing as the late Russian revolution or a Soviet government. There have been strikes in which many have been killed, strikes in which the President of the United States has even ordered out federal troops. Without any comment upon the wisdom of Mr. Burns' zeal to run radicals out of the country, we must say that he takes great chances with his reputation as a detective and throws considerable doubt upon the amount of ordinary information he possesses when he makes such a statement as the one above quoted. THE VOICE OF THE WAR At Arlington Cemetery on Acting Secretary of War, pronounced he stressed the peril to the Native voices that preached the gospel prevented the necessary degree same voices are rampant through.

Common sense dictates anyone getting shot would be to To revive the gospel, of pre-condition of all the great nation have only one result and that Our government would be wiser of the nations of the world United States. At Arlington Cemetery on Decoratation Day, Mr. Dwight Davis Acting Secretary of War, pronounced an address. In this address he stressed the peril to the Nation of pacifism. He stated that the voices that preached the gospel of pacifism prior to the great war prevented the necessary degree of preparedness, and that those same voices are rampant throughout the country today. He said: "To listen to these voices will mean the abandonment of the lessons the War taught as to the sacrifice of life that lack of training involves when the emergency comes. To countenance pacifism is to open the way to the undermining of national defense." This is the same old theory which the apostles of preparedness have long preached, namely, that preparedness is the best insurance against war. If the great war proved anything at all it proved that this theory was in error. Germany was prepared and so was France, but it did not prevent war. The theory advanced by Mr. Davis is as reasonable as it would be to suppose if every man in the community carried a gun nobody would get shot. Common sense dictates that the best insurance against anyone getting shot would be to have no one armed with a gun To revive the gospel of preparedness and to re-establish the condition of all the great nations being armed to the teeth can have only one result and that result will be another world war. Our government would be wiser if propagandized for the disarming of the nations of the world rather than for the arming of the United States. A Regimental Home. A Regimental Home. The fact, that some fifty thousand people came to witness the parade, one of the largest ever held in Harlem, that preceded the laying of the corner stone for the armory of the 369th Regiment, was significant of the popular interest felt in that military organization and its new home. Mayor Hylan who officiated at the exercises, said he was glad to have been the mayor of New York under whose administration the armory is being built, but truly declared that the credit for its conception should go to Colonel Hayward and Colonel' Little, as much as to himself. This ceremony marked another forward step in the provision of a permanent home for the only colored regiment in the National Guard of New York State. The 909th Infantry, for whose use this modern and fully equipped armory is being prepared, has fallen heir to the best traditions of the old Fifteenth Regiment, which proved its fighting qualities in the World War, it being one of the first organizations to be sent to the front in France, under Colonel Hayward. Its present commander, Colonel Little, was one of its officers who went with the regiment through the bitter campaign and has since shown his hearty appreciation of the sterling qualities of the men who fought under his direction. Like Colonel Hayward he has been unremitting in his efforts to put the regiment on a par with any in the State. The cooperation of the clergy and the community at large is sought in building up this regiment to the full quota of strength permitted under the regulations. The advantages offered by an organization of this character and standing should attract to its ranks the flower of the youth of the community, who are willing to undergo the mental and physical training demanded for such membership. While they enroll in the service of the State to act as its defenders and to protect its citizens from open enemies of internal disruption, they are also admitted to benefits of a social and athletic nature of high standing. THE NEW YORK AGE VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Waldon Johnson, Contributing Editor. GOVERNOR SMITH SIGN8 THE REPEAL. GOVERNOR SMITH SIGNES THE REPEAL. Governor Smith signed the repeal of the Mullen-Gage Law after listening to testimony on both sides of the question at a five-hour public hearing. Not in recent years has any piece of legislation in New York State been the subject of such diverse and bitter controversy. There were those who held that the sacredness of the Constitution was at stake, that for Governor Smith to sign the repeal would be an act of nullification. The pressure brought upon the Governor by both the wets and the drys was something terrific; but the Governor has evidently done what he said he would do—decided in accordance with the dictates of his own mind. Along with the bill Governor Smith submitted a memorandum of about four thousand words in which he states his reasons for approving the repeal. He sets forth, in answer to President Harding, that it is not incumbent upon any state to duplicate the statutes of the Federal Government; that the repeal of the Mullen-Gage Law leaves New York in exactly the position where it was before the law was passed. The Governor devotes considerable space to the legal and constitutional phases of the question. But after all, the question of whether or not New York has the right to repeal the Mullen-Gage Laws is an academic question; it is a question of legal technicalities. The real question before the people of New York and of the country is whether or not they want prohibition enforced. If they want prohibition enforced strictly in accordance with the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act and the presence of the Mullen-Gage Law on the statute books of New York assisted in realizing that aim, no amount of quibbling about the right of New York to take the law off its statute books squarely meets the larger issue. In his memoraudum Governor Smith takes this pactical side of the question into consideration and he says: The practical side of this question to my way of thinking indicates that little if any of the liquor consumed in this State is manufactured here. It is imported from foreign countries. The Federal Government is the only agency that can attack the base of supply. It is infinitely easier to stop the smuggling in of five hundred cases of liquor before bulk is broken than to trace the same five hundred after they find their way into different parts of the State in small quantities. In another part of the Governor's memoraudum he runs true to his reputation for independence. Many people had written and attempted to influence him by reference to his political future, and by his "political future" was meant his chances for the presidency. With reference to this the Governor said: "Much has been said in the public prints with respect to the effect my action upon this bill may have upon my own political future. I have no political future that I am willing to attain by the sacrifice of any principle or any conception of what in my mind is for the welfare and the benefit of this state and nation." The greater part of the Governor's memorandum, however, is devoted to negative argument, the argument that the state has a right to its own sovereignty; that it need not duplicate federal legislation; that it has no obligation upon it to enforce federal statutes; that he would not be swerved in the least by any thought of his political future; that the repeal of the Mullen-Gage law will not revive the saloon, that it will not bring back light wines and beer. These are all negative arguments. The impartial mind, after granting the legal and constitutional rights of the state in the matter and Governor Smith's personal choice as to his action, will still be impressed with the fact that prohibition is being grossly violated in New York State, perhaps more so than in any other state in the country. There is the rum-fleet off the coast and there are the smuggiers on the Canadian border, all pouring liquors into New York by the hundred- and even thousands of cases. Decoratfon Day, Mr. Dwight Davis announced an address. In this address pronon of pacifism. He stated that the end of pacifism prior to the great war of preparedness, and that those throughout the country today.

It will provide an appropriate resting place for the relics of the "Fighting Fifteenth," testifying to the glorious part it played in the greatest war of the world, and will add measurably to the status of the race as a constituent of the State and of the nation. It is also designed to serve as rallying point for community purposes, so that it may have a moral value as a conserver of peace and wellbeing as well as the home of a military unit. The laying of the corner stone for this armory is a victory for Peace, as well as the commemoration of the victories of war. Rational Prohibition The signing of the bill for the repeal of the Mullen-Gage act by Governor Smith of New York is the signal for a movement toward a rational enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. So far as the present laws intended to enforce prohibition are concerned, the only effect of this repeal will be to take offenders before the Federal Courts for trial, instead of holding them for a violation of the State law which has been abolished. The obligation of the State officials to enforce the Volstead act remains the same. The repeal of the State law does not make it legal to sell light wines or beer or any beverage containing over the stipulated half of one per cent. of alcohol in New York State. What then, may be asked, is the use of repealing the Mullen-Gage act? The repeal of this law, which followed the language of the Volstead act defining intoxicating liquor and the methods of preventing its use as a beverage, removed the double jeopardy incurred by infractions of a purely statutory offence of doubtful validity. The Volstead act goes to the extreme of fanatical dry legislation, in defining intoxicating beverages and providing for drastic enforcement. Like all extreme measures it has failed of popular approval or effective enforcement. It has provoked sentiment of the thoughtful liberty citizens and has proved a gold reckless bootleggers and uncompounders of harmful beaver. As Governor Smith remarked message, which accompanied the of the repeal measure, "the whiment of this question has been by hypocrisy. The definition toxicating beverage contained in stead act is not an honest or a sense one." He continued: It seems to me that comm backup by good medical can find a more scientific of what constitutes an in beverage. Such a definition adopted by Congress as a reasonable amendment of the act and a maximum alcohol should be prescribed by which would limit all State traffic in liquors which are non-intoxicating within the of the Eighteenth Amendment. Ex-Congressman Laferty was in Congress from 1911 to 1913 twice in favor of submitting to the States, emphasized the eighteenth Amendment to inhibit everything under the use of intoxicating liquors in purpose. In a letter to York Times he said among other Liquors not intoxicating to be sold freely if permission is granted by a mere minority grees, and Congress may reasonable alcohol content present one-half of 1 per cent wise, intoxicating liquors freely for medical purposes Eighteenth Amendment to prohibit such sale The trouble with the preemption is that the Volstead actanced the Constitution, leaving to the rear, Congress, under the stead law, has prohibited this intended to be prohibited Eighteenth Amendment. The only remedy for preemptions is conservative legislation Congress, which, while pro-tional prohibition, will give ple what liquors they need cal purposes without the patronizing bootleggers The action of New York State in pealing a drastic and hypocriticalure, never intended to be enforced, step forward in the direction of a national enforcement of prohibition in the Eighteenth Amendment. It enforced is the opinion of all citizens, though why it should be merely respected than the Eighteenth Amendment, is hard to an unbiased student of the law. Nevertheless, all agree that it should be enforced. But impossible to enforce such as those in the Volunteer act only make airs out of leagues and treatings of international law attempts to regulate the practice cognit matters. No lasting reform has ever been accomplished by sexual legislation that violates common sense and popular convictions. Reasonable methods of enforcement must be devised if problems in have any good effect. Commenting upon the gatt of thousand dollars made to Hewlett by Mr. and Mrs. A. L. of Porto College, St. Louis, the Ton Recorder said: The Malones, in the plains which they conduct, are made hundreds of thousands, hours of dollars. They have great enterprise. We have a place and personally inspected run upon the best appraisal. Both of the Malones are the mostest almost to a ruin, long been known, for their they are the backbone of the Y.

Called For the Bishop It was mistaken, though, I was told, to discuss the mat- ter with a knock at the door. The door answered it, and found it standing there. As the door could be seen isn't it a plain fact our "backs are to the wall"? We need more first class colleges and hospitals. We need more approved medical colleges. For a quarter of a century Shaw University trained and sent out hundreds of physicians. A few years ago her medical department closed its doors "temporarily". At Shaw, now, there is every faculty for the reopening of a medical college of the highest calibre. The laboratories there are among the finest to be found anywhere in the South. A modern, recently constructed hospital building is there. Practically the same faculty that made Shaw and the University of North Carolina famous are available, with additional well trained Negro physicians who would strengthen the teaching force. Then, Mr. Editor, do you not think conditions should be made possible for Shaw to reopen her medical department? The race will need more and more, as the years pass, for the rigid requirements imposed upon medical students and graduates. The hundreds of alumni of Shaw University all over the United States will rally to their alma mater financially. Could not an agitation be started in four columns to so should public sentiment as to bring about such an objective, to help meet an actual emergency? I recall reading an editorial in The Age on the "Dismantling of Shaw University." It followed shortly the closing of the medical, pharmaceutical and law departments. Let us now begin a drive to remantle Shaw for the benefit of Negro boys and girls who may desire to be physicians. As a race; we must see and meet this tremendous problem of medical education Howard and Mehray need, endowments. Twelve million Negroes should be able to support financially three first class medical colleges for sitting in the house, and the white man, ignoring Mrs. Corrothers, pointed his finger at Bishop Wallace, asking, "Are you the man that had that trouble down at the station with a white man?" When answered in the affirmative, the man, without further ado, said, "Well, come here, I want you, to come to the door, asking, "What do you want?" Then looking out, he saw near the gate the young ruffian who had been at the station, with another white man. The man at the door said, "Come on, get in that machine; and go with me." Remembering the threat—"I'll get you tonight"—and seeing no sign of official authority, the bishop was of the opening to guard the threat, of starting to carry the threat; so he declared he would not go, and turned back into the house, shutting the door. As the door closed, the man who had knocked at the door scuttled down the steps and responded his companions. At the bishop's request, then, Mrs. Corosteaux went out to seek for an officer of the law. She returned in a few minutes, stating that the man who had knocked at the door was an officer, learning that this Bishop Wallace immediately back on the man asked the man to an officer." The man said yes. "Then I will go with you," replied the bishop, putting the action to the word. Getting into the machine with the men, he further informed this man, who later proved to be the town marshal, that if he had indicated his official position in any way, there would have been no delay in accompanying him. But the officer, swollen with arrogance and filled with prejudice, swore with a stream of oath, that he did not have to show any authorities. When ball was reached, the man drew his gun, fondly idolating weapon and laid it on a wonder that he had shot the bishop when he closed the door at the Corosteaux's home. To this was added the comment that he had also killed four "niggers." Rishon Told Him to Shoot Still handling the sinister weapon, the marshal declared he was of a mind, even then, to shoot his prisoner, pointing the weapon directly at the bishop. The officer, aware of the possibility the threat might be carried out, the bishop finally told the officer that if he, the officer, felt that way about it, to go ahead and shoot. Realizing that his actions had not affected the colored man, the officer finally returned his weapon in his pistol. Bishop Wallace's requests to be allowed to communicate with the mayor, Lawyer Branham of Mr. Hollis, president of the bank, were refused, and he was finally taken to the lockup, the town marshal firmly intending to keep him a prisoner all of Saturday night. But Mrs. Corrothers, Rev. L. O. Grady, principal of Walters Institute and one friends had been active of the three white men had been active of what was going on. They immediately rushed to the hall and the mayor order the marshal to produce his prisoner. The force of a trial and imposition of a $5 fine followed quickly, and then Bishop Wallace was released. According to The Age's informant, the three white men (the mayor, the lawyer, and the bank president), were of one mind in advising the colored bishop that any attempt to secure justice in the matter would lead to serious racial disturbances. He was informed that the visionary could be secured against the visionary railroad employ who started the trouble, and that if one was issued, no jury, and that if a white man as against a black man. In short, the Negro prelate was told that the only thing to do was to let the whole matter alone, and go quietly on his way. Seat Committee to Bishop. On Sunday evening, at Wallers Institute, where Bishop Wallace prescheduled the baccalaureate sermon as scheduled, a committee of white men waited on him and assured him that the "best" white people did not commence the treatment accorded him, that he could stay in Warren just as long as he desired, and that every protection would be given him. This offer did not include, however, a removal of the stigma (?) of being convicted and fined before the mayor, nor did it mean a rescuing of the first. The town kept the baccalaureate money, all right, and he stayed through the entire commencement season. five thousand people, and there are a number of well-to-do colored citizens living there. But the town is controlled by an unfriendly element that seems to run things. There is an element of negroism in the Negroes' welfare, but they are clearly unable to make their influence felt very far. There is a good bit of sorrowness among the whites of the section because of the constant migration of Negroes, but they do not seem to realize that such incidents are part of the man of high rank in the church and of distinguished standing as a man and citizen, furious a reason for the movement. There have been five lynchings in Warren, the victim in each case being a Negro. The lynching tree stands in the church and religiously preserved. To and from the lockup, Bishop Wallace passed under this tree. NEGRO VETERANS' HOSPITAL AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE IS TO HAVE NEGRO PERSONNEL NEGRO VETERANS' HOSPITAL AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE IS TO HAVE NEGRO PERSONNEL (Continued from First Page) Last February, shortly before President Harding went South on his vacation Dr. Moton, accompanied by Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, and Dr. Charles H. Roberts, also of New York, and other friends, called at the White House and engaged in a lengthy conversation, at which time the President assured Dr. Moton that Negroes would be employed in the Government Hospital at Tuskegee. Again this assurance Dr. Moton had announcements made in the Negro press that examinations would be held for positions. Applicants were instructed to communicate with the Civil Service Commission Division at Atlanta. While President Harding was in Florida it came to Dr. Moton's attention that the applications of Negroes was being held up. He immediately made complaint to the head of the Veteran Bureau, and Washington. President Harding also was also appraised of what was going on. Outward signs of opposition to a Negro personnel began to crop up. Dr. Moton was visited at Tuskegee Institute by white delegations asking that he support their program for a white personnel. On each and every occasion he was firm in his refusal to accede to their requests, the serious and untruthful questions about "straddling" the issue to the contrary. In the meantime disoriented Negro politicians became obnoxiously active. They gave out the impression that the President had asked them to make a list of appointments for the hospital, which was false. When the Veterans Bureau at Washington would show Dr. Moton the proper courtesy by consulting with him on appointments, the president in consultation by these political officers who zealously and with characteristic community selected an imaginary staff of their own from superintendent choice. No Politcila Pie Counter. Of course when the President heard of this act of foolery he promptly made it publicly known he disproved of any effort to make the Government Hospital a political pie counter, stating he desired the appointment of Negroes on merit and not on the basis of race. Delegations of white men from Tuskegee and letters from the Governor of Alabama failed to swerve President Harding from keeping his original pledge made to Dr. Mason. The matter had been closed so far as official Washington and Tuskegee Institute were concerned. The governor to the Negro press notifying applicants to make arrangements to take examinations for positions in the Government Hospital when agitators just wasking up to the fact that something was going on and they had not been able to get into the lighthead by indulging in vilification and criticism gat bushes. They have been perniciously over Not satisfied that Dr. Moton had won his fight, the critics who manage to get into the public eye by criticizing those of the race engaged in constitutive work had to vent their spleen in some manner, so they are questioning the methods they employed in attaining victory. Deminations range from abuse for not outing the Governor of Alabama to baseless accusations of raiding the radar data. The sentiment—which if true, would find white physicians and nurses in charge of the Veterans Hospital. The "Jim-Crow" Fallacy: Northern Negro papers playing to the galleries made idiotic contribution to the disigning spectacle of trying to lynch a race leader by referring to the hospital as a "Jim Crow" institution, although overlooking the fact that the publications conducted by them might be classed in the same category. They do not seem to realize that in dubbing the Veterans Hospital as "Jim Crow" they are also reflecting on race lanks, insurance companies and other creditable business enterprises providing opportunity for efficient Negroes. In compliance with custom, the white superintendent who was sent to Tuskegee in February will remain at the hospital until in the judgment of the Veterans Bureau at Washington, it is opportunity to turn over the institution to new heads. Under no circumstances does a Government Hospital open with a superintendent that capacity. This situation must to furnish additional ammunition for the few critics who have not participated in the mud-slinging. Tuskegee Institute and Booker T. Washington made it possible for a certain type of Negro to get some morality, not because of what the latter did, but because of his constant criticism of those who were doing something. He courted fame by waiting for Dr. Washington to transcribe his book, taking him from the them cowardly to taking him from the superior possessed sufficient brains and initiative to originate and build. His mission was to tear down. Dr. Motton, it seems, is having a similar experience with this kind of a pest—an enemy to the real racial progress. Installation Services. Brown Memorial Baptist Church, Herkimer and Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn, marked the formal installation of its pastor, the Rev. John Dawson Gordon, who has serving them the past two years, with a week's series of services. Brooklyn Baptist Church, Brooklyn, and Manhattan took part in services, and a large sum who raised to meet obligations installed in creating the present house of worship. THE NEW YORK AGE JOHN H.

HOLLINS In reference to the maintenance of healthful conditions among Pullman porters, we know of no class of employees, unless it is dining car waiters and cooks, to whom this supervision is more religiously applied. To begin, no applicant can enter the Pullman service as a porter, until he has passed a physical examination at the hands of its physician. If he measures up to the standard requirements, which are height, weight and a pleasing appearance, and becomes a regular porter, his physical fitness is still looked after. In the event of sickness, a sick report specifying the nature of his illness, is sent immediately to the district superintendent's office. The duration of his illness be shouldy or more, or if, for other reasons, he decides to remain away from his work that period of time, before he can return to service, he must present a certificate of health from a reputable physician. These same regulations allow more or less enforced by the dining department of all the important rail-roads. As a matter of fact, the public, especially that which travels, is very well protected. There should be like protection given to the attendants; for it is common knowledge that not all those who ride in Pullmans and eat in dinners are specimens of health, not models of cleanliness. In the communication of diseases, we are more sinned against; than sinning. One case in particular, was that of a careless porter who got hold of a towel which has been previously used by some diseased passenger. In consequence, he contracted a malady from which he eventually died. The Rho Psi Phi Medical Sorority Ends Successful Term at Howard Univ. Washington, D.

Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For Acid Indigestion So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach-ache and inability to retain food are in probably nine cases out of ten, simply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach creating formation of an acidic fluid that holds the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inhibits the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid. To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and is neutralize the acid, and make it blare and harmless, a teaspoonful of Bisurated magnesium a good and effective corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly harmless and inexpensive remedy to use.

WASHINGTON Offers Excellent Opportunities to Young Men and Women to Secure an Excellent Literary and Normal Course and a Course in Mechanical Industries, Women's Industries or Agriculture LOCATION UNDERPASSED FOR HEALTHFULNESS WRITE FOR ANALOG OF INFORMATION ROBERT R. MOTON, Principal Tuskegee Institute, Alabama Declaring that too many educated Negroes go into the professions that are already overcrowded, the Florita Sentumel calls for broader racial service. It said: The American standards of living demand the services of professionals in hundreds of fields, and if the Negro is to become assimilated in this country, and yet maintain his status, he must look to find and to render every service needed, within his own race. And certainly he must vantage which comes of not having members of his race to render the service needed, when it is needed. As to the doctors, the lawyers, the teachers, and the ministers, these professions have been so crowded by the efficient and the inefficient that they are fast losing their quality and the public. And well they might, when we women and women ablack the public every day and in every way, it is time that public faith be denied to those who are unworthy. In the future Negro parents and youths must think to educate themselves and their children in other fields than those which have been educated in the public. They must learn that the professions of engineers, chemists, journalists, musicians, accountants and social service workers have as high rating as any others. While the newer professions cited need their quota of candidates, we have just been told on high medical authority that the supply of physicians is not adequate to racial needs. It may be that instead of the older professions being overcrowded, they are suffering from lack of distribution. There is still need for doctors, lawyers, teachers and ministers of the right calibre. The 148th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill will be observed by the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League as "Peter Salem Day." Health Among the Negroes. (From the New York Sun) The excessive mortality which persists among the African population, the United States' largest population, graves message to the public health. Tuberculosis and other diseases not only deal suffering and death to colored people themselves, but through them are often communicated to others. The whole nation has a very real interest in the maintenance of healthful conditions among a race which furnishes such attendants on the public as cooks, maids, laundresses, Pullman porters and waiters. Yet it is doubtful whether healthful conditions among the larger number of the race are educated as physician. In many communities the colored population is attached only by white doctors. Since many Negroes are very poor, practice among them is not desirable and is gather avoided than sought after. The Southern doctor does not writings, let colored patients suffer, but of necessity he does not give them the time an attention which their cases often demand. Sanitary conditions in the colored quarters of the United States are extremely bad, while preventive medicine is sady neglected. The Journal of the American Medical Association sounds the right note then in pleading for the training of more Negro physicians. At present the high grade medical colleges of the country are graduating Negro doctors at the rate of 10 percent every year and are positing among a colored population of nearly ten and a half millions. If the Negro physician has been properly trained and imbued with a conception of the responsibility of his calling he has it within his power to accomplish much good. When he enters the home of his patient he is received as a brother rather than one of a different race; he attends him at home and can carry home home more than could the white physician the lessons of sanitation and health.

In its appeal for this observance the League said: "It is almost marvelous, and should be made by us really fortunate, how Afro-Americans, still held in the least respect and treated as veritable aliens and social lepers, have figured, importantly and herocastly in the creation and progress of this United States of America, claims of any class or race are so lowly regarded that no ginnings, no title is more indisputable than that of the descendants of pioneers. The practice of annual observances of anniversaries of real pioneers in fighting for this government as National Race Days will serve to inform both our own youth of the race's genuine claims to all rights, and to forcefully remind the whiter Americans that we are native to the republic good enough to have fought for white enemies and there fore good enough to defend their leges with our fellow white citizens.

IVERSITY 1921 AS AN "A" COLLEGE THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS In The Realm of Music By Lucien H. White Sonoma Talley Finishes Artists' Course at the Institute of Musical Art Young Colored Girl Achieved First Honor as Pianoforte Pupil, But Head of School Made Attempt to Ignore Her Claim to Place on Commencement Program. At the commencement recital in Acellian Hall on Saturday evening, June 2, of the Damroch Institute of Musical Art, of New York City, five graduate students received artists' diplomas, and of the five, one was Miss Sonoma Talley, a young colored pianist, who outranked all the students in the pianoforte class, and was within one point of the first honor winner of the entire course, a girl from the vocal department. Because of the high rating gained by Miss Talley, and the general excellence of her work, the faculty of the Institute, with the board of trustees, voted her a special price of $500 for the purpose of continued study. Before beginning on the artists' course, Miss Talley had already made an exceptional record, for she had completed in one year the course of study mapped out by the Institute authorities to cover two full years. In winning first honors in the piano department, Miss Talley upset calculations somewhat as officials of the school had been of the opinion that another student, a young man, would be successful in this particular. So sure was Dr. Damrosch as to this result that he had already made up the commencement program, giving to the young white pianist the place of honor which belonged by custom to the highest ranking pupil, that of playing a piano concerto, accompanied by the full orchestra. As a matter of fact, Miss Talley had not been given any place on the program at all. This was to be accounted for, it is being whispered around, by the fact that the piano teacher who was in charge of Miss Talley's work, an Italian, Prof. Giordino, was persona non grata to certain of the higher officials of the Institute, and these reports are to the effect that Giordino's pupils received little consideration save what they forced by sheer merit of achievement. It is reported that Prof. Giordino has realized this and will not return to the Institute as a teacher. However that may be, certain it is that when the faculty of the institute held its final auditions for passing judgment upon the work of the piano pupils, Miss Talley's playing won for her a higher ranking than that attained by the young man who enjoyed Dr. Damrosch's personal favor. And that verdict of the faculty was approved and endorsed by the vote of the artists' jury, which acted to the same effect, placing Miss Talley as No. 1. In the meantime, however, Dr. Damrosch had prepared the final programs, and notwithstanding the verdict of the faculty and the artists' jury, there was, up to within two weeks of the commencement, no sign of a change which would accord to Miss Talley her rightful place on the program. Finally, however, the matter was taken up direct with Dr. Damrosch and it is evident that the justice and equity of Miss Talley's right to recognition caused him to see the unfairness of his action. But still he would not go the whole way in making separation. Miss Talley was fully prepared with a Grieg Concerto for piano and orchestra to take her proper place in the commencement exercises, out on the plea that the Grieg number was too long, he insisted that she substitute a Lissit Polonaise, piano solo, requiring just two minutes less for its performance. "So on Saturday evening, before hosts of people, few of them of her own race, Miss Talley sat down at the pianoforte and played the Lissit Polonaise in such a manner as confirmed in the minds of every hearer the absolute right and justice of the faculty and artists' jury in voting her first honors as a pianist, and justified the trustees and faculty in awarding her the special prize of $500. The chairman of the board of trustees, Paul D. Cravath, actively connected with Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, at which institution Miss Talley's father, Prof. V. W. Talley, is a member of the faculty, has always manifested an interest in this talented young colored girl. In fact, it was through his interest that she secured the scholarship which made it possible for her to enter the Institute of Musical Art, and to continue through to the goal which few colored musicians have attained—that of holding an artists' diploma. Miss Talley will remain in New York City for the present. She is teaching the pianoforte at the Martin-Smith Music School, and plans to continue her studies. PAGE SIX your own living and hold your family together as does Marion Davies in her latest Paramount-Cosmopolitan production, "Adam and Eva?" As Eva King, Miss Davies' only worry is how she can spend her dad's money as fast as he is able to provide it. Then comes the shock of her life. Her father "loses" his entire fortune. What does she do—sell her jewels and live in comfort in an up-town apartment? She does not. She equips a farm in the country, the only piece of property left of the once magnificent King estate, and makes it pay. Then a strange thing happens, but what, the picture itself, which opens at the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday for four days, will disclose. T. Roy Barnes plays the leading man's role. "How Come," which rat for five weeks on Broadway, will be the attraction at the Lafayette for the week of June 11. Before beginning its Broadway engagement this show had played to capacity audiences in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and other cities. The comedy work of Eddie Hunter, who is being hailed as the funniest comedian since the late Bert Williams, is the feature of the show. In addition there is a large cast of singers and dancers, including several well known yaudeville stars, and an unusually large chorus. Some of the leading performers of this show are Eddie Hunter, George W. Cooper, Chappelle and Stinette, Sidney Becket, Billy Higgins, Andrew Tribleb, Alberta Hunter, Alice Brown and Geo Lane. The book is by Eddie Hunter, the score by Ben Harris, and additional musical numbers by Henry Creamer and Will Vodery. MIST OF BUSINESS ART Eugene Mars Martin, son of David L.

Lincoln Giants Win Double Header on Decoration Day The Lincoln Giants won two games on Decoration Day by defeating the Caven Point nine 8 to 1 and the Jenkintown nine of West Philadelphia by a score of 11-1. Both games were easy for the colored team. Two accidents occurred in the first which put Marcell and Doc Wiley out of the game for several weeks. Marcell was hit in the eye by a fast grounder in the eighth inning and Wiley hit on the knee by a pitched ball in the last inning. In the second game Dave Brown almost shut the Jenkintown team out, allowing only two hits and striking eleven men out. The battery for the Lincoln was Wiley and Wiley in the first game and Brown and Gee in the second.

Governor Trinkle of Va. Delivers Strong Speech At St. Paul's Closing Lawrenceville, Va.-The thirty-fifth annual closing exercises of the St. Paul Normal- and Industrial School, Rev. J. S. Russell, principal, marked perhaps the most successful year of the school's existence. Thirty-nine young men and women received academic diplomas and seven trade certificates, making a total of 46 to obtain the honors of the occasion, in addition to 48 from the grammar school department: "Virginia Day" program on account of the presence of Governor Trinkle, attracted an audience of fully 2,000, a large number of whom were white, to Kersey's warehouse. Governor Trinkle in a key note address captivated the large audience. He declared: "I hope I am the Governor of all the people of Virginia. I am for the uplift of the people of this state, both white and black. I am a southern man, born in a southern clime, and I shall never forget the colored people of Virginia. I am interested in our colored people and particularly interested in their advancement and progress. "Education is the chief concern of our people today. We are appropriating 40 per cent. of the income of the Commonwealth for education. The problem before us is what kind of education shall we give our children. We want to give our boys and girls of this state the best that is to be had. It is such schools as St Paul's that are giving the training to teach to labor with the hands, feet and body that are solving successfully this problem." Speaking directly to the graduating class, the Governor said: "You are not being educated in this institution to become flappers, but to be leaders of your race, leaders in education and good influences, leaders of the kind that will teach your people self-respect and integrity in order that they may be respected. You are due to Virginia to see to it that you pay back, not in dollars, but in faithful service, the time, energy and money spent to train you. If Virginia is to be the leader in training colored boys and girls, it depends upon you, boys and girls, who are soon to take your places as leaders of your people. I have seen what good Big Bill Tate, In First New York Appearance In 3 Years, K. O.'s Cowler Jack Dempsey's Sparring Partner, Nearest Colored Rival To Harry Wills, Punishes Englishman So Severely Referee Stops Battle in 5th at Commonwealth. ```markdown ``` DIRECT FROM BROADWAY "HOW COME" In his first appearance in New York in almost three years, Bill Tate, 240 scored a knockout owed Tom Cowler, 214½, the British heavyweight at the Commonwealth Club on Friday night, June 1. Tate had the best of the fight in every round and the referee intervened in the fifth to save Cowler from being knocked out. The Britisher appeared to have gone back considerable and gave Tate little opportunity to show his ability. Willie Walker, 162, the middleweight champion of the National Guard, had an easy time defeating Lewis Mattons, 166½, in the semi-final bout, scheduled for twelve rounds. Walker was award- ed the decision as a technical gnock-out in the 8th round when the fight was stopped. The contest was a tame one, although Walker tried hard to make his opponent fight. Jack McVey, 164, also a Harlem favorite won the judges' decision over Jack Tilyou in a six round preliminary bout. In the other preliminary, contest of four rounds, Floyd Murphy of the 369th Infantry and Otto Johnson fought a draw. Because of the change from Saturday night to Friday night, these bouts did not draw so large a crowd as had been expected. About fifteen hundred were present. Saturday, June 9, 1923. staff were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Elmore during a portion of his stay here. The Governor was the recipient of an official welcome from the town as well as the school and commits of the community. The Governor and his staff, the Town Council, prominent citizens and the board of trustees of the school were served luncheon in the Long- Island, Domestic Science Building. Extension Course at Suffolk Is Beneficial By Mrs. Stary E. Estes Suffolk, Va. Since October, 1922, P. D. Pawley, one of the instructors at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg, has been conducting the Petersburg Extension Course here, giving instruction every two weeks. Every teacher here has taken advantage of the opportunity which brought the required subjects to them. The teachers have been greatly benefited by the instruction given. The course has closed for the season and Professor Pawley has given to the Suffolk teachers a splendid foundation for the next year's course. Special emphasis was placed on good speaking and good writing, with research into rhyme and other good books. It is hoped that Professor Pawley will be in charge of the class next year and the teachers are looking forward to further advance along other lines of the extension work.

But I command you all, and pray for your that you may become the Father in Heaven; that you will run to rise on the that as the good and send who do right and those that can read with care the that is bound to conduce both as to spirit and many because: It was given by Jesus Christ as a Resாரal confession, unselfish,务ary,务ary, suffering, Jesus has a mission on earth was being held to be mankind. That being the first of the first needs they to know that Jesus said do something for us to act accordingly. He who gave up the glory that was His, took upon Himself, the form of a self, and suffered the harmful and the poorest of the poor, from the purpose other than to save a lost world, is uncapable of giving advice that would not prove to be a blessing. Therefore he said to conclude that the advice of God is timely, because Jesus gave it to us. It has universal application. Even as a group can point to enemies and at times come in its history has felt the key to depression. The command to love is a condition to pray for one's perseverance and therefore be applied to every individual and to all peoples. Especially the Negro in America say the Jesus put that in His great Sermon on the Mount for him. Who is more conscious of enemies and has felt dire progress more keenly than the Negro who has under the Start, and Stones? Surely Jesus meant him when he had, I love your enemies and pray It is a challenge to all that it has to be in man. There was a time in my life when I regarded the command to love enemies and pray for prosecutors as base cowardice. I almost had Jesus for having commanded it. For now I see in that command a challenge to all that is best in man. Since the death is constantly appealing to that which is less and mean, Jesus would have not recent to His trust had He not appealed to the high and good in me. The devils' business is to make sure he himself, wholly bad. Jesus's room is to make men like himself, will is good, or complete in goodness. To end cannot be obtained except in the exercise of highest virtues. Here Jesus exports. "Love your eyes and prays for your persecutors." This is a call upward from the usual to the unusual, from the ordinary to the extraordinary from following after the devils' waying in the footsteps of the Man of Gale. Following the devil leads to every Walking after love, and everlasting peace and commanding joy. Which will you do, and when of my race? There is no disputing the fact that, the Virgin has cause for feelings of empathy and the American white man. But he is afford to let that cause provoke moral effect? Jesus says, "no!" The person says the same. The person who hates incites the one hated to incite incurrence which may affect the state of thousand through genesis and ember. But it has a rejection on the one who hates which is many and impossible growth of soul. It echoes and pertains the soul. Individual conflicts, group uprisings and have their ground in hate crimes. If men would quit hating one another would cease and wars would end more. That is why Jesus will lay your enemies and pray for your persecutors. The Negro's safety in this country depends upon his practical counsel of this text. If he carries thoughts that make for hatred, his white man, a conflict of arms, will be in group, will be the imminent result. That will enable some people to kill to a few white men, win from the less hatred having played the role of allies. The Negro is too much to help the race by fighting. The way is to love and pray. If you hate the white man, it is better not prayed for him. It is unable to pray for a people and pray for your persecutors. The ways of hatred will banish in you as you pray. Yea, emotions will manifest themselves in prosecutions as you mean your prayers. we cannot whip the white man to treatment of us let us love him. Especially is this advisable we grow stronger and better by marrying him to that which proves his faith. So you may become your Father in Heaven, for His sun to rise on the wicked he good and sends rain upon the right and those who do right and those who do more important that our worship to God than our even with the white man God's sons until we reflect him. He gives the son to him in the right who delight in His dispense to the good who are striving to His will. So we, to prove that as true sons of our Father Heaven must love everybody, even love will bridge the chasm prejudice and usher in an era of peace and good will.

A VISIT TO THE SOUTH (By Rev. H. H. Proctor) I have just returned from a little journey of 2080 miles to the heart of the South. My objective point was Atlanta, and I stopped at Petersburg, Enfield, Durham, Raleigh, Athens, Nashville and Cincinnati. Arriving at the Union station in Washington early Monday morning, I found 200 immigrants from the South in the station who had come up overnight. Presently they moved out going to points further North, and the next trains brought an equal number. Both groups were men and women, and both men and children. I was told by one of the station attendants that this had been going on daily for three months. As my train speed through Virginia and the Carolinas I saw an unusual number of white women washing their own clothes and most of the women in the fields seemed to be white men. At Petersburg, Va. where, however, Mr. T. R. C. was the principal I the diminution in the colored population. I spent a night at the J. K. Brick School, near Enfield, N. C., where my good friend, Principal T. S. Inborden, has a great school located an a thousand-acre tract of land. He is the schoolmaster of the region, and I was told that in that locality scarcely any one school is attributed to the fine schools in the country to the friendly feeling between the races. At Durham, N. C., I was entertained by Dr. J. E. Shepard at the National Training School, and was particularly impressed with the prosperity of the colored people. Fayetteville street is one of the finest residential streets for our people in America, and the building of the school is a marvel of enterprise and progress. It is an inspiration just to visit this building. The Rev. P. R. DeBerry greeted me at Raleigh, N. C., and I was impressed with the amicable relation between the races there, and with the steady progress of our people in business, school and church. One of the wealthiest men of the race, Berry O'Kelly, lives here, and has a most salutary influence of the life of the city. At Athens, Ga., I found a different situation. There had been a great exodus from this place, and more were planning to go. There had been considerable trouble in this locality, fables, and the colored people around the depressed. However, I found nowhere a more intelligent and responsive audience than at Athens. This is due to the long and effective work of Dr. C. S. Haynes, Prof. L. S. Clark, and others. Atlanta I found as full of excitement as ever. Large numbers of colored people had gone to Northern centers, and an equally large number had come in from the rural districts, so that the level of the colored population was maintained. Stories of racial friction fell in the air, and much discontent was manifest. However, there is distinctly great progress here along business lines. The Service Company is doing great things for the race. The First Congregational Church will hold the center of the stage for the church life of the race, and it was a great joy to be involved with a friend, the assistances of former days. A million dollars worth of new jobs are being built in Atlanta for the colored people, which, in addition to the fine facilities for the race provided by philanthropy, makes it the educational center of the world for the colored race. At Nashville I spent some time at Fik, my alma mater, and was impressed with the five group of young people who are coming out to take their place in the life of the world. I found the young men particularly eager to get information concerning the movement of our people northward, and I was quizzed at great length by these bright young men. I was impressed with the seriousness and point of their questions. The last step was in Cincinnati, just over the Ohio River, and it was a pleasure to be ground by so many and representative christians of the Y. M. C. A. and the ministers of the Century Church. W. J. President, Home too. I found the people eager with the northward movement of our people. I found the Clarkson northward, the officers in our northward, so he made up of people from various parts of the South. definite impressions concerning, the southern situation. One is that our people are more restless than ever before, and a large majority of them have decided to make a change in their residence. Some who have made large accumulations have lost faith in the South and have been forced to leave, hand, grant numbers will remain and wax prosaemic in Dixie, for every one who goes helps them to stay. Another is that the white people are purposely as never before. Although, for the most part, they are maintaining a bold front, it is evident that they are particularly concerned. In some cases they are able to deprive the oppressed of intimidation, and still in others to pleading to prevent the colored people from going. Nevertheless, the northward flow continues. The other is that the race problem is to be solved in the North. The South unwilling to solve the problem on America is to equal opportunity, and it is unable to do so for the national facilities. The question of slavery had to be solved in the North for the nation, and the final solution of the problem of the races will find its solution here on Christian lines, and then, in the case of the matter of slavery, be applied to the whole nation. Brooklyn N.Y. NEWS OF THE CHURCHES Mother Zion Church. The preliminary services Sunday morning, June 3, at Mother Zion Church, were of a high and inspiring order. The sermon was preached by the pastor. He announced as the pastor of his discourse, "Another Test of Discipleship from St. Luke 9:62." "And John said to him no man, having put his hand to the plough, and Jokking back is fit for the Kingdom of God." The Christian religion is just as essential to the life of the individual, the community, the state and the nation, as are food, air and water to the physical well being. It is demonstrated in the lives of those who make sacrifices to advance the cause of righteousness. Having put your hand to the plow, it is absolutely necessary that you continue in the work. As a rage, there is much and arduous work for us to do. Respect the jaw and order, proper self deportment, and respect for the rights of others, must be impressed on the minds of our people in a manner that will be productive of these results. Unless our people who are constantly arriving here from the South observe these principles, there will be greater restrictions. Vigilance for your eternal good is the uncompromising price of permanent liberty. It is the duty of the church to stand on guard and sound the alarm, all the while exercising faith in the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The sermon was manifestly impressive, and the whole congregation gave evidence of being spiritually uplifted. At its conclusion twelve persons were received into the church. The Sunday-school convened at 2 o'clock. J. W. Eichelberger, general superintendent of the Sunday-schools of our connection, was present. and addressed both sections of the school—in the lecture room and in the main auditorium. He spoke on the modernizing of the methods of conducting the work of the school. At the close, an informal reception was tendered him by the official staff. By special motion, Mr. Eichelberger was given $10, the Sunday-school quota to his department. In the evening, Dr. Brown spoke again on "Making the Burden Light." On Thursday evening, June 7, a drama, entitled "Jeptah's Daughter" will be given by a splendid cast, headed by Miss Mabel Diggs, for the benefit of the building fund. The regular monthly meeting of the Brotherhood will also be held on this date. On Friday evening, the annual memorial service in memory of the members of the church who have died during the year, will be held. There will also be a meeting of the Sunday-school board. Next Sunday, Dr. Brown will preach at 0:45 a.m. Baptism and Holy Communion will be administered at 3:30 p.m. At 8 p.m. the pastor will preach an sermon to the Robin Hood Circle No. 288, Ancient Order of Forresters. The sick: Ella Nipson, 103 West 137th street; Olivia P. Barnes, 541 Lenox avenue; Fannie Reid, 165 West 136th street; Rosa Coleman, 208 West 134th street; Herman G. Bass, 65 West 144th street. First Emmanuel Church. A full house of thoughtful members and friends greeted Pastor Bolden at the Sunday morning service. Pastor Bolden's text was "For Christ is, not entred into the Holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the body of Christ. Give us to appear in the presence of God for us"—Hebrew, 9:24. He said: "The Literary Digest of this last week, has an article calling attention to Mr. Pauf Popenoe's scientific report in the Journal of Heredity in Washington, D. C. 'Measuring the Mentalities in our Melting Pok' The diagrams of various race and national groups upon the North American continent is not only interesting but affords a great opportunity for deep consideration. This consideration will be our Congress, the various nations that emmigrate here, and the thoughtful and constructive groups among the people of African descent. The diagram shows that the average mental age of Negro draft, was 10.37 years, the lowest, of any of those races and national groups to which this test was applied. The result of this observation should stimulate the leaders to arose the advantage of every opportunity to preserve their health and develop their minds. Ignorance of industrial, economic and political factors which have to do altogether with temporal existence and social values presuppose, total blindness to eternal, existence and spiritual realities. Therefore such a child mind must be taught and awakened to a realization of the meaning of its existence and what it may contribute in its environment that reveals the fact of its understanding of human and divine things. Our Lord the Emmanuel at twelve years of age showed in this natural test with the Sabbaths then THE NEW YORK AGE the poorest, the most catholic other and are high high are they to and from now them with at them He has his master. He lived a life and demonstrated true knowledge and power functioning con- ciously out of His human and divine mind. The mind that was and is His may be manifested in any other human being, who turns his face toward the out of reality and wills to have the eternal rays to reflect the holy and per- fect image of God the Father in his heart and mind. This state of being brings one to the place in his thinking where he is qualified to see the truth of the text that Christ is not entered into the holy places of his heart, which are the true of the true; but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of God for us.

Abysainian Baptist Church. The second week of the openings and dedicatory exercises was just as interesting as the first. Music was a special feature during the week. Miss Leah Kate Walker, who had charge of the program on Tuesday evening, when the physicians and dentists spoke presented the Wanamaker Quartet, Miss Theresa V. Greece, and the Female Trio. All of these were splendid artists and greatly pleased the audience. J. B. Brown and the Wanamaker Quartet made a special hit in its selection to Dr. Powell and the Martin-Smith Music School on Wednesday evening entertained and inspired the audience, which occupied every seat for two hours. Another great musical program was rendered on Friday night by a number of distinguished white musicians, including Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wade Kimey. Dr. Francis Robinson, field secretary of the National Baptist Convention, delivered an able sermon Sunday morning to an audience that occupied all standing room, while Rev Marshall Sheppard preached to an overflow audience in the vestry. Dr. Robinson brought greetings from the executive board of the National Baptist Convention. Hundreds of Masons and their friends were turned away for lack of room in the afternoon. The occasion was the annual sermon of the Masonic Grand Lodge of the State of New York which was delivered by the pastor. Grand Master Drew Parker presided, and included Rev John Robinson and the Grand Mark's Church and Samuel's grand master of the State of Illinois. Both of these gentlemen delivered brief and interesting speeches. Dr. W. W. Brown preached a helpful sermon in the evening on "Christian Growth." The offering amounted to $1,728.70. The following persons and organizations made special donations: Dr. E. P. Roberts, $15; Dr. Richard Taylor $20 more, a total of $70; Dr. James A. Banks added $5 to his previous donation of $50; Dr. Aaron L. MacGhee pledged $10 a month indefinitely; Dr. and Mrs. Ernest Alexander, $15 a month until the church debt is cancelled; Mrs. Waring presented $10 from Miss Leah Kate Walker and her singers; Union Baptist Church, Dr. Geo H. Sims, pastor, $12; Bethel A. M. E. Church, Dr. Montrose W. Thornton, pastor, $171.

The Concord Baptist Church, with its pastor, chair and officers took charge of the services on onday night of this week. Both the singing and the sermon were of a high order and the Concord Church which was organized by Abyssinian Baptist Church 76 years ago left an opening of $135.12. This church had previously donated $64 for the memorial window for the late Dr. R. D. Wynn, $1. Rev. Chas, H. Stewart, pastor of Big Bethel Church, Washington, D. C., will be the speaker next Sunday morning Rev. Wm. P. Hayes and the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church will have charge of the services at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon, and Rev. Arthur J. Payne, formerly assistant pastor of this church, will deliver the message in the evening.

St. Mark's M. E. Church. On Sunday, June 3, large congregations attended the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. E. Church. The pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson was the speaker at the morning service and preached a very forceful and appealing sermon, Text. Acts of the Apostles, 20th chapter and 19th verse. Theme, "Obedience to the heavenly vision." Preceding the evening sermon a fifteen minute recital was very creditably rendered by the their under direction of Prof. E. A. Jackson. At the evening service, Dr. John H. Reed, with Dr. Robinson's pulpit preached a very able and diratic sermon, Text. St. John, 14th chapter and 27th verse. Theme "Peace," Dr. Reed was distinct superintendent in Montville, Liberia, for eighteen years. In the course of his sermon he gave a very vivid word portrayal of the existing conditions in the Dark Continent, and expressed his firm belief that the rights of Christianity will be diffused among the natives there through the united efforts of the Christian people in this country. A beautiful and touching feature of the morning service was the presentation of a huge bunch of white carnations and sweet peas by Howard S. Johnson in loving memory of the late Dr. W. H. Brooks. The incident inspired Dr. Robinson to establish the unique innovation of having members and friends of the church pay a similar fee to Dr. Brooks but to any member, or friend who has stressed the box. Dr. Robinson has announced that all social activities around the church will be unbounded for thirsty days out of respect for the late Dr. Brooks. Sunday, June 10, is looked forward to as a gala day in the church. Dr John W. E. Bowen, vice-president of Gammon Theological Seminary will be the speaker at the morning service in the auditorium and, in anticipation of an unusually large attendance, an overflow service will be conducted in the Theater.

At both morning and evening services the choir, under direction of Pro- F. E. A. Jackson rendered excellent music. Salem Church and Lyceum. On Monday evening, May 28, the choir of Salem Church rendered its annual concert, "The Holy City," by A. R. Gail. It was the finest musical event in Salem and in all probability will be the last given in old Salem church. The leading vocal characters were Mimes, Goins, McVey, Coleman and Gulliver; and Misses Williams and Simmons, and it was given with orchestral accompaniment. Mrs. McVey, Mrs. Gulliver and Mrs. Coleman deserve special mention for their proficient work, because they had only a few days to learn their parts. The closing chorus "Great and Masseous" was rendered with great effect. Rudolph Grant, chairmaster-organist deserves great credit for the work he has done. He has completely revolutionized the choir. Every voice stands out for itself. Standing room only was to be had by 8:30 o'clock, and many were turned away. Next year we anticipate having an audience of three thousand in our new home, the Calvary Church building on Seventh avenue. Last Sunday was Communion Day. We had 474 communicants. Rev F. A. Cullen, pastor preached, at both services. OPEN ALL THE YEAR These lots originally sold at $190 to $200 each—Only admission to THE NEW YORK ARE can obtain baggage luggage at this special price.

Calhoun at the piano, was given. Mrs. Reed deserves credit for this play. Only a few were out to the prayer service on Friday evening owing to the fact that our pastor and a great many of the members went to Mr. Vernon, N. Y., to the Macedonia Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. R. Nelson, where the fifth anniversary of the pastor is being celebrated. The german was delivered by our pastor. At 11 a.m. m. Sunday morning, after selections by the choir, Rev S. L. Johnson of Boddington, Va. was presented by our pastor, and he delivered the message on "Salvation". Sunday-school at 2 p.m. was well attended. At 4 p.m. the storm that swept over the city hindered the women from turning out and hearing the sermon by Dr. Johnson on "Elevation of Womanhood". At 5 30 p.m. the B. Y. P. U. under President Lloyd was at its point of duty. Evening services also felt the effect of the storm. Dr. Johnson delivered the message from the subject, "Jesus making the Child the Example of Christ's anuity". Evangelist Johnson is to be with us through the week and next Sunday.
