PERRY OF BROOKLYN WHO WAS GOTTEN INTO CASE BY AGE EDITOR Shin Man Was Son of Hotel Owner, and Member of Prominent Easton Family—But Evidence Showed Him to Be Aggressor and to Have Interfered With Lovings. Easton, Pa.—What was considered a signal victory, due to the legal acumen and skill of Counsellor Rufus Lewis Perry of Brooklyn, N. Y., was the verdict of man-slaughter rendered by a jury in the court here under Judge McKeen in the case against Alexander A. Lovings, who was charged with murder for the killing of a white youth, Donald A. Knobler, in the Hotel Karldon where The killing occurred on the night of May 20, last, after Kendler, it was charged, had attempted to assault Lovings, the attack being aimed at the pentry of the inn, where the attacker was engaged in his attack, killing him with a claw. The attacker many times freed times, the host in the air, and then the white boy continued to advance, the second and third shots were aimed directly at him. Wife Came to New York Lovings left the hotel after the shooting, and made his way to the street. He finally secured a taxi and drove to his home 338 Spruce street. The officers, in the meantime, had made their way to the same locality and were waiting when armed. They placed him under arrest and jailed him under a charge of first degree murder. Mrs. Lovings exhausted her means in effort to secure aid for her husband and finally went to New York. In that day she enlisted the sympathy of Fred R. Morg, editor of The New York Age, who directed her to Counsellor Perry and aided in securing his services.

Motton, Ga.—Asberry Jackson, a Negro farmer, was shot and killed in what appears to have been wanton cold-bloodedness, by Ben flill Arnold, a white farmer, the shooting taking place just across the line in Monroe county. Arnold's cows had been breaking into Jackson's corn patch and the white man had tailed to take any steps to protect the colored man's crop. As a result, Arnold had taken out a warrant against Jackson. Arnold alleging trespass on part of the latter's cattle, the court order being secured on September 13. That afternoon, John Hunt, a rural mail carrier, found the body of the colored farmer lying in the road where he had fallen when shot. The matter was reported to the sheriff, who called the Monroe county coroner into the court. No witnesses were called by the coroner, just the only statement heard being that given by Arnold himself. The white man said that when he went to his mail box during the afternoon of the day on which Asberry had secured the warrant, he saw the Negro. Arnold claimed that the man had a knife and adressed on him with the weapon in his hand, that he fired one shot from his shot gun, which failed to stop Jackson's advance second shot, however, killed the man. Arnold left the back in the road just made no effort to report the occurrence. The coroner's jury returned a number of justifiable homicide, but many of the white citizens of both Macedonia and Thrace lived counties are of the opinion that the matter should be given a more thorough ruling. Prosperous Conditions Are Appear in Jewelry Traile Through Increased Numbers Five Years Ago There Were Only Two Colored Jewelers Conducting Establishments in This Community, While Today There Are at Least Six, And Perhaps More. PIONEER COLORED MILLINER, IN BUSINESS FOR PAST 15 YEARS, RECENTLY TOOK NEW QUARTERS WHEN CABARET LEASES STORE Harlem Has a Fish Market That Makes It a Standard Policy to Constantly Supply Its Customers With Absolutely Fresh Sea Food, Making Daily Purchases The jewely business seems to be prospering in Harlem. As against two colored jewelers five years ago, there are now six or more. The majority of these stores are run by Cubans and West Indians, as they seem to have a better chance to learn the jewelry trade in their native land than American Negroes. The oldest colored jeweler in points of service is George F. Hazel, now located at 2255 Seventh avenue. Mr. Hazel started business 17 years ago in West 63rd street. He later moved to Harlem and has operated stores on 134th and 136th streets. On May 15 of this year he moved to his present location, which was remodeled for his use. Mr. Hazel was born in the West Indies and learned the jewelry trade there. He is a specialist in watchmaking and repairing. L. S. Gonzales and Company at 429 Lenox avenue is another of the most up-to-date jewelry stores in Harlan.

On Thursday, September 20, Joseph Di Camera, 26 years old, of Wilkinson son avenue, Jersey City, pleaded guilty to the charge of robbery and will be sentenced on the 20th. Frederick Stretz pleaded guilty several weeks ago. Both men were identified by McDaniel as being the robbers who waylaid him.

COLORED PERSONNEL AT VETS' HOSPITAL IS BEING SECURED Several Classes Have Been Filled, But There Are a Number of Vacancies Washington, D. C.-According to a statement issued by the United States Civil Service Commission, the work of providing a staff of colored men and women for the United States Veteran's Bureau, No. 91, at Tuskegee, Ala., is progressing satisfactorily; that the many colored eligibles have been appointed and are now on duty at the hospital, and that others will be appointed until an entire colored staff is enrolled. There have been secured a sufficient number of nurses, dentists and pharmacists, and the list of physicians is also complete save for specialists in tuberculosis and nephropsychistry. A number of vacancies exist in the list of reconstruction aides and reconstruction assistants in occupational therapy and physiotherapy, dietitian, laboratorium in bacteriology, and laboratorium in roentgenology. Applicants for these positions are advised that full information can be secured either from the Civil Service Commission at Washington, or from the secretary of the 58 U. S.

Work Being Accomplished In Harlem By The Branch Office Of State Employment Bureau Through Cooperation With Main Office Colored Employes Are Being Placed in Positions Not Heretofore Available to the Race-50,000 Employes Listed. The reopening of a branch office in Harlem of the State Employment Bureau has aroused interest. The question was asked, Does it mean a segregating of labor according to race or color? Or, is it a sincere effort to reach more quickly the center of a large labor supply to be sent to all sections of the city and to all classes of employers News Briefs of General Interest Statements by various large coal dealers in New York City and environs indicates an expectation that coal this winter will cost the householder from $14.25 to $17 a ton, according to the retail dealer's purchasing facilities. The prediction was that the average price would be near $14.50. Some dealers, unable to get prompt delivery of company coal, are compelled to pay throttle prices to independents and coal brokers, and so were compelled to charge $16 to $17 a ton. There is a large supply at the mines, say the dealers, and there should be no acute situation, even though many people wait until cold weather is on them before buying their winter's coal. Colored Republicans are interested in the report sent out from Washington last Saturday that National Committeeman Charles D. Hillis of New York was a guest at luncheon of President Coolidge and that Mr. Hillis was likely to succeed John T. Adams as chairman of the National Committee. Color is lent to the report that a change in the chairmanship is imminent in case of President Coolidge becoming the Republican nominee next year through the fact that relations between President Coolidge and Chairman Adams become strained as a result of differences over the world court and other matters. Mr. Hillis is one of the outstanding figures in national councils of the Republican party and his accession to the chairmanship of the National Republican Committee would strike a popular chord of approval. An important conference was held last week by Irwin Kurtz, chairman of the city committee of the Republican County Committee of New York County, and Charles P. Murphy, leader of the 19th A. D. in Brooklyn, and chairman of a similar committee of the King County Republican Committee. The two organizations purpose working in harmony this fall for the formulation of a declaration of principles upon which the Republican candidates for the Assembly and the Board of Aldermen may conduct their campaigns. FALLIE NO SCORE SPANNING HOUSE TAKES SIKI IN COURT Case Is Displaced When Fighter's Manager Promises to Gbt Proper Papers at Gate. Battling Siki, the French boxer, had his first contact with American law on Wednesday evening, September 19, when he was arrested and taken to the 38th Precinct Station on the charge of giving a spurring exhibition at the Lafayette Theatre without a license. Siki was released immediately on $500 bail, furnished by Fred R. Moore of The Age. The next day the case came up in the Washington Heights. Court and was dismissed on the promise of Siki's manager to secure a license at once. Police of the 36th Prescinct who made the arrest declared that they did not wish to cause the French officer any trouble but stated that a complaint had been made at the District Attorney's office against Siki's exhibition without a license and they had been ordered to make the arrest. Sibi's manager made application for a boxing license from the New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Boxing Commissions. All the commissions acted favorably on his application excepting Massachusetts. That Commission refused, to send the necessary blank form and at the same time notified his manager that Sibi would not be permitted to battle in that event. The Commission agreed to allow him to box in a hospital.

An Age representative called on Herman S. Whaley, superintendent in charge of the Harlem branch office, and asked for definite information as to the purpose of scope of the activities of the office. From the information imparted by Mr. Whaley it is gathered that a sincere effort is being made to relieve the colored employee, as much as possible, of a racial handicap, and that by systematic cooperation with the main office at 120 East 20th street, presided over by Bernard L.

Mme. Pauline Dempsey of 125 West 133rd street, one of the most unique characters of the city, died on Friday, September 21, in the Community Hospital, as the result of injuries sustained December 18, 1922, in the Whitman Bennet Film Studios, 537 Riverdale avenue, Kingsbridge, where she was engaged, in the making of a moving picture. The scene, in a picture in which the star was Francis X. Bushman, was that of a toboggan slide, the time being deep winter, and as Mme. Dempsey was riding at lightning speed, down the snowy incline the toboggan in some way became unmanageable and she was thrown heavily to one side, suffering a broken leg and other internal complications. She was taken to the Yonkers' Hospital, remaining there until about three months ago, when, through the intervention of her friends, Mrs. Mary Lane and D. E. Tobias, she was brought to the city and placed in the Community Hospital, where she was treated until death came last week. For a number of years, thirty or more, Mine, Dempsey has been connected with theatrical activities, but in recent years her most conspicuous activity has been along political lines.

Sinister and Vicious Rumors Are Circulating to Effect That the Hootch-Selling Operators Have Used Venal Methods to Prevent Agitation Against Activities White Cabaret Owners Use "Benefits" for Charity as Means to Secure Support of Certain Elements of the Race as Alibis Against Charges of Law Violations The question has been asked: Why is it that The Age is practically alone in its fight to drive hootch-selling out of Harlem, while there are so many churches in the community, with few of the ministers taking any definite stand in the matter? The question becomes more partiment when it is known that new hootch places being opened are in good instances in the immediate vicinity of colored church MAYOR JOHN F. HYLAN CONTINUES TO PROVE Mayor John F. Hylan continues to improve in the Saratoga home of his son-in-law, although an attack of phlebitis, causing a swelling of the right leg has retarded recovery somewhat. Murray Hulbert has taken over the New York City administration as Acting Mayor, under the provision of the City Charter which provides that when the Mayor is incapacitated for a period of thirty days or more the President of the Board of Aldermen shall become Acting Mayor, with full powers of that office. J. C. Dentist Left Wife Who Paidfor Training; Jailed Jersey City, N. J.—Charging that her husband, Dr. Hylacinth du Biosette, a dentist, who lived with her at 222 York street, had deserted her two years ago. Mrs. Cora du Biosette had him apprehended and arrested at Winston-Salem, N. C., last week. Detective P. McGovern of the Prosecutor's office went to the North Carolina town to bring the prisoner back to Jersey City for trial on a charge of desertion. Mrs. du Biosette, who is conducting a rooming house at the York street address, claims that she spent $8,000 to $10,000 on the education of her husband, and when he had graduated fitted up his operating offices at a cost of more than $2,000. The man is a West Indian, said to be well educated. Mrs. Steele, Head of Home For Colored Children, Is Visiting in New York City Mrs. A. S. Steele of the Steele Home for Needy, Colored Children, Chattanooga, Tenn., is in the city this week. Mrs. Steele, a native of Chelsea, Mass., founded this home forty years ago and has devoted the whole of her extensive private fortune to its maintenance. She is the only white woman in the country giving her whole time to the care and education of needy colored children, without either city, county or state aid. More than 1,600 children have been cared for in the Home. the Twenty- First A. D. At the meeting of the County Committee of the 21st Assembly District, held at the headquarters of the Manhattan Republican Club, 3610 Broadway, on Friday night, September 21, Dr. Claus H.

Hahn was also reelected as leader of the 12th Assembly District. es, and the opening of these illicit nalcoons are detrimental to the community in every instance. This is, especially true with regard to the Seventh avenue situation, particularly to the blighted streets of 139th streets. New nalcoons have opened directly in front of a church, or one instance, and within very short distances of other churches in some three or four instances. The lowering of neighborhood morale, it is pointed out, which follows in every case the opening of a booth-selling café is of it. definite a character not to be evident to the ministers and officers of these churches. Observers of conditions who have expressed themselves with regard to the situation say that with recurring frequency there are visible evidences of debauchery in the shape of drunken and disorderly men and women which indicate the character of these places. And they express in various forms the opinion that ministers and other leaders of the race in Harlem should join with energy and earnestness in the fight to drive the venders of poisonous alcoholic liquors from their neighborhoods. Sinister and Vicious Rumors. At the same time, from various sources, there come rumors that are sinister and vicious in form, indicating that there are ulterior reasons, why no particular effort is being made by certain runners efforts to rid their neighborhoods of these destructive elements. There have been reports from time to time that some of the men operating these hooth places have succeeded in various ways in creating a feeling of passive forbearance which prevents active opposition to their bootlegging operations. Among the means employed it is alleged that in one case the son of a minister was given employment that enabled him to earn a considerable sum to be applied to the further expense of his education which was being obtained in one of the leading universities. The same minister is alleged to have told the proprietor of the resort in question that times were hard and expense heavy, and that not only did he need help in paying for his boy's education but that his church could also use whatever finds it could get. The rumor has it that a check, for a substantial sum was handed the minister. Another minister, according to report, is alleged to have intimated to a resort keeper in his immediate neighborhood that while certain conditions resulting from the selling of whiskey near the church were undesirable from the standpoints of religion and good morals, yet, since the church building was heavily mortgaged and the church needed much financial help, it would be possible to palliate conditions to an extent in the face of material assistance along financial lines. As there has come no word of denunciation from this particular minister of the bootlegger conditions in the neighborhood of his church, it is alleged to be more than probable that he was the recipient of some of the bootlegger's probits. To Forestall Opposition White proprietors of cabaret and other resorts in Harlem have discovered what is alleged to be some simple plan for the preventing of opposition to their operating. With only unscrupulous and grimming savvy they approach persons who are connected with some popular movement and extend to them an offer of the resources of the particular resort for a so-called "benefit." As few are given wisdom to see below the surface and discover the perfidious and transgressive character of the liberal (?) offer, it is merely accepted. The recent propensity to it made publicity given to the charism attack of the illiterate and that the impa- rors were influential at shaming them. church, politics or society, possible to be secured, is printed and given broadcast to the public. While the particular charity may reap a few immediate dollars, the report is given a "character" by the occasion which is used by the proprietor to still and answer any complaint and to stop any opposition arising against his place. For the proprietor will be able to say that his place must be all right since "Mr. High-Tone" and "Braut-Toon" and their friends and associates, are among his patrons. "Of course, even in the matter of arranging a "benefit," the proprietor raises a large financial profit, as the charity is benefited only by a certain fixed charge paid by its supporters and friends before-hand. The sums spent in the cabaret, as a rule, are direct contributions to the owners and are not shared in by the charity. And if the charity does get a share of this sum, it is usually only a small percentage on the sales, and the amount of the sales is always known only to the cabaret managers. A Typical Benefit. An example of the manner in which the public, is treated in these "benefit" affairs was shown last Sunday when one was staged at Comnie's Inn in the Lafayette Theatre basement for benefit of the Fund for Stricken Japan. An imposing list of patrons and patronesses, comprising many of the most prominent women and men of the community, was printed and the announcement was scattered all over Harlem. An admission fee of $1 was charged, and it was left to the editor of a Harlem weekly to secure the imposing list of entertaining talent which was advertised as part of the attraction. But alas and alack! Although the program had been, announced to begin early in the afternoon, to continue until evening, patrons who arrived before 6 or 6.30 were regaled only with music: from the orchestra which had been engaged for the occasion. The program arranger, it is alleged, had looked too long upon a cup and so the matter of securing talent had not been attended to. About 7 o'clock, however, a patron with vaudeville contact and association put in an appearance and he was hailed with joyous relief by the distracted chairwoman of the occasion, who begged him to help her out. This man got busy and succeeded in rounding up a few performers and entertainers who voluntarily gave of their service to relieve the situation. At the same time at least some of the staff of entertainers employed in the cabaret were present, but they were disporting themselves among the guests and were not available for any other purpose. But the cabaret waiters were not idle—the was only one thing for the guests to do, and that was patronize the cabaret owner's buffet of soft and other drinks. An Ill Effect. The effect of these "benefit" affairs is beneficial only to the cabaret and resort people in the long run, but it seems to be an impossibility for leaders in various activities to realize this aspect. Nor do they realise the estimation in which they are held by these white cabaret owners, who see in their prompt acceptance of these dubious favors and acquiescences in "benefit" plans an attitude which causes them, behind the person's backs, to characterise them as "good time people," along with the sports, gunmen, thugs and members of the demi-monde who make up the bulk of the habitual natrons. In this particular it is pointed out that there are a number of cabarets that are owned by Negroes, and the query arises why, in benefit affairs, these places are not given the preference over places run by members of other races? They are as decent in conduct, as well appointed, with as good service and entertainment, as is found in the other places, and what material benefit is derived other than what might accrue to the benefit purpose, at least goes to one of the race. And in most cases, too, it is said by those familiar with such affairs, that benefits staged in the race-owned cabarets result in more substantial returns to charity. FRIEND TO TUSKEGEE DIED AT HIS HOME ON STATEN ISLAND Former Chairman Board of Trustee, Wm. G. Willcox, Friend to Negro Education. William G. Willcox, a lawyer, of New York City, a strong friend to Negro education, died Wednesday, September 19, at his home, 158 Davis avenue, Livingston, Staten Island. Mr. Willcox was 65 years of age, and for a number of years he had served as chairman of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, giving much of his time and wisdom to the welfare of that institution. During the administration of the late John Pruory Mitchell, Mr. Willcox was president of the Board of Education of New York City. He had lived forty years in his Staten Island home, but was born in Reading, Pa. He was one of the organizers of the Staten Island Civic League, and was a director of the Staten Island Academy, the Staten Island Hospital and of several banks in the Borough of Richmond. Because of failing health, Mr. Willcox tendered his resignation as chairman of the Tuskegee trustee board at its meeting held in New York City on June 25, last, when Anson Philsa Stokus was elected to succeed him. The widow, two daughters and two sons survive him. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-The announcement of the passing of the Honorable William G. Willcox, chairman of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee Institute, occasioned much grief at the Institute Wednesday, September 19. Mr. Willcox had been in ill health for the past two years but his death was a distinct abuse to the students and members of the Institution. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, attended the funeral which was held in New York City, Friday afternoon. Dr. Anson Philsa Stokus, former secretary of Yale University succeeded Mr. Willcox as chairman of the board of trustees. For a decade years Mr. Willett had been a member of the board of trustees and successful Seth Low as chancellor in 1916. He his passing the school has kept a sincere and devoted friend as well as put an active interested trustee. As a trustee of the Tustin Institute and as president of the New York Board BODY OF REGULAR THOUGHT BY SON TO BE THAT OF HIS DAD Thomas Trewman Found Father at Home Eating After Identifying Body at Hospital Charles Smith lived at 209 West 62nd street, and so did Thomas Troutman and his father, only in separate apartments. Troutman, a chauffeur, was told Thursday morning, September 20, that his father was at Roosevelt Hospital as a result of being run down by an automobile on Wednesday night. When young Troutman reached the hospital, the injured man was dead. Viewing the body and examining the clothing which had been worn by the dead man, Thomas said, "Yes, that's my poor dad," and authorized the hospital authorities to perform an autopsy. Then he went home. When the sorrowing son reached home, however, he found the elder Troutman, his father, sitting at the table eating breakfast and was hailed with the query, "Where have you been?" When Thomas rushed back to the hospital to notify the officials of his mistake, he found that it was his neighbor, Charles Smith, who was dead, and the body had been identified in the meantime as not being that of Troutman. There was said to be a marked resemblance between the two men who were not known to each other. of Education. Mr. Willow proved himself a strong friend to the race and on every occasion in private and public utterances he expressed confidence and belief in the future of the Negro race was a firm champion of rights for the race—never missing an opportunity to voice his opinion against any injustice perpetrated against the Negro or prizes any achievement of any member of the race. Rev. Silas Kavius Floyd, School Teacher, Preacher, Author, Dead at Augusta Augusta, Ga.—The Rev. Silla Kavinsa Floyd, 58 years old, principal of the Givimuth Sweet Public School for many years, died at his home, 1025 Twelfth street, on Wednesday, September 19, after a long illness. For a number of years, in addition to his school duties, Mr. Floyd had served as a minister, writer and editor. He was a graduate of Athlanta University, and was associated with Richard R. Wright, sr., in the conduct of the Augusta Sweetl, a weekly newspaper published back back in the early ninies. He was author of "Floyd's Flowers," a book of stories for children, and he was also, for a time, one of the editors of J. Max Barber's magazine, The Voice of the Nation, published for a while at Atlanta. A member of Tahoearchae Institutional Baptist Church, under the late Rev. Dr. Chas. T. Walker, Rev. Floyd gave much of his preaching service to last congregation. The only regular pastorate he held, however, was that of the Union Baptist Church, but that was not of long duration. For a number of years the doings of Augusta's colored people were printed in a column of the Sunday Chronicle which was written by Floyd. In late years, because of the thought that Mr. Floyd was involved up for rights of the race, there was a decided current of opposition to his being considered as a race leader. Floyd was one of the founders of the colored Y. M. C. A. here, and served as its secretary for a number of years. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ella James Floyd, and a stepdaughter, Miss Marietta James. Among the brothers surviving are Charles J., living here, and Frank H., who has been a resident of Boston for many years. His father, the late Rev. David Floyd, was one of the old-school C. M. E. preachers. Rev. J. H. Reed Named To Do Deputation Field Work On the Chattansoga Area The Rev. Dr. John H. Road, for 18 years stationed in Liberia as missionary, as president of the College of West Africa for eight years, and as district superintendent of the Monrovia district of the Liberia Conference and who returned to America on May 21, 1921, has been named by the secretary of the Committee on Conservation and Advance to do deposition field work on the Chettunga (Tea) Area, with Dr. J. C. Sherrill, secretary. Since returning to the United States, Dr. Read has been identifying himself with Methodist movements in New York and vicitly. For two years he was Centenary-organized of the tarotian field, concurring with the home office in Chicago and the Board of Foreign Missions at New York. He is expected to be of great service to the interment boards of the church in presuming the ministery cause to the home conferences and the church in general. H. J. Edwards Appointed Warehouse Agent in the Internal Revenue Service Asks Legislature to Provide More Generously for Colored Schools of Higher Grade and Counties Are Urged to Build at Least One Such Good School (Special to The New York Acn) Atlanta, Ga.—Immediate suppression of mob violence and lynching, more generous provision for Negro education, and the employment of colored farm and home demonstration agents to teach the people how to make a living under boll weevil conditions were the most important steps urged by the Georgia Race Relations Committee, not only as matters of justice but also as essential to stop the northward migration of Negroes. The Committee called upon the authorities to do their utmost to put down mob violence, and all good citizens were urged to stand behind the officers and the courts in all efforts to this end. Attention was called also to the need of giving the governor authority to deal effectively with shelters, who are delinquent in their duties. C. H. TORIAS NAMED TO SUCCEED BR. J. E. MOORLAND IN "Y" WORK The legislature was asked to provide more generously for colored schools of higher grade and each county was urged to build at least one good school of this character. "The committee called attention to the valuable work done by the few colored farm and home demonstration agents in the state, and the employment of such agents in every county was recommended as a means of teaching the people how to make a living under boll weevil' conditions. The committee asked the legislature to appropriate $15,000 for a training school for delinquent girls and also emphasized the need for a state tuberculosis sanitarium for colored patients. It was reported that the woman's section of the committee had secured funds for the employment of a colored public health nurse to work throughout the state, organizing and training groups to look after maternal and infant weifar During the past two years the committee, through its secretary, Dr. T. J. Woofter, Jr., has directed its efforts largely to the suppression of mob violence, through public sentiment and court procedure. During that time the number of lynching has greatly decreased, two only having occurred in the first half of 1923. A great deal has been done also in the way of supplying legal aid to helpless colored victims of mobs and other injustice. Many of Georgia's best people are active in the committee's membership. PROSPERIOUS CONDITIONS ARE APPPARENT IN JEWELRY TRADE THROUGH INCREASED NUMBERS praiser of long years of experience. L. S. Gonzales, the proprietor of the store is a Cuban. In speaking of women in business last week, no reference was made to Mme. Odessa, who is also a pioneer milliner in Harlem. She began business some fifteen years ago and for a long time conducted a store in The Lafayette Theatre building. When a cabaret was established in the basement of this building, she moved out and on September 15 opened her new store, Odessa's Hat Salon at 253 Seventh avenue. The general appointment of the salon is fine, and Mme. Odessa numbers among her many patrons leading theatrical folk of both races. Contrary to the general impression, she also carries a large stock of moderately priced hats for persons of moderate means. Selling Strictly Fresh Fish Another business of an entirely different type which has been very successful since its opening three years ago is the Star Fish Market at Seventh avenue and 135th street. The proprietor, Charles E. Jackson, has built up a business which supplies a number of Harlem restaurants and home with fresh fish and seafood. Several downtown stores, including Cambridge Lodge at 4 East 49th street are also supplied by the Star Market. Contrary to general belief, all of the fish dealers of the city get their supply from the same wholesale market. The fluctuation of the price of fish among the retail dealers is due largely to the fact that some dealers buy enough fish when the market is low to last for a week. After a couple of days their fish will be selling cheaper than other markets, but they are not selling fresh fish. Other dealers buy their fish daily even though prices rise and fall in the wholesale market. Realizing that no food is more injurious to the health than bad fish, the StaffMarket has chosen to be with the latter group and strictly fresh fish may be bought here at all times. Fresh fruit and vegetables may also be obtained here from Coleman Morgan, who runs space in this store for that purpose.

LOVINGS the owners of the hotel, and its name, Karldon, was formed from the names of Donald and a brother Karl. Donald had previously interfered with Loving's work, and had been requested by the hotel management to stay out of the dining room. Orders had also been given to the waiters not to serve Kuebler. However, the white boy persisted in frequenting the place and in interfering with Loving. After the tragedy, sentiment ran high, because of the prominence of the Kuebler, family, but sane and cool heads took charge of the situation. Perry Wins Commendation Counsellor Perry's handling of the case won for the Brooklyn lawyer the commendation of the court, and the admiration and respect of the entire personnel, from the prosecuting attorney down to the assistant Tiplavae. "The jury was out twenty-two hours, and the twowees they had a warm,smiling jungle from the fact that at times the discussion was so strong that the voices were heard and words plainly understood. Eighty-five of them. Eighty-five were taken, the first standing it is reported, four for first degree conviction, four for acquittal, two for manlaughter and two for second degree. The final result was clearly a compromise. Judge McKeen immediately passed sentence of imprisonment for a period of from 6 to 12 years, with a fine of $1,000 and costs of court. Lovings will be confined in the Northampton County Prison until such time as the state authorised it as the Eastern Penitentiary, and as ready to pose him Counsellor Perry and his associate, Counsellor Bennett, expressed satisfaction at the result and made no motion for an arrest of judgment or application for a new trial.

Those persons who vote for the first time in New York State at the coming election in November must comply with the new literacy requirement by proving their ability to read and write the English language. Under the election law of 1923 the State Board of Regents at Albany has adopted rules and regulations for carrying out this requirement. It will issue certificates of literacy showing that a new voter is able to read and write English in the school throughout the State to those able to pass examination. The examination will comprise about one hundred words in simple English followed by eight to ten questions to be answered by the wouldbe voter in his own handwriting. In communities like New York City, where personal registration is required, examinations shall be held during the two weeks preceding the last day of registration. In other parts of the State examinations will be held two weeks before election day.

In other parts of the State examinations will be held two weeks before election day. All new voters must present evidence of literacy, consisting of a diploma or certificate of graduation from an eighth grade elementary school or a high school, or a certificate granted by the school officials after the examination required by law. This evidence must be presented when the new voter appears for registration in places where personal registration is required. In other places it should be presented on election day at the polls. The law defines a new voter as a person whether native or foreign born, who has become qualified to vote since January 1, 1922 and has not already voted in New York State at a general election. It is estimated that each year there are about 200,000 new voters. Harlem has a large number of colored residents who are qualified to vote, but who have neglected to exercise their right to the ballot. Should they decide to turn over a new leaf this fall, they must not fail to secure their literacy certificates. GOVERNORS TAKE ACTION. During the past week, the governors of several of the States have become central figures of action in demonstrating that the State still retains the power to protect its citizens against mob law and usurpation of power. Governor Walton of Oklahoma has played the leading part in this demonstration by his unserving attack upon the Ku Klux Klan and has determination to place the whole State under martial law in order to suppress lawless klan rule. Despite a hostile legislature which threatened to impeach him, he may vindicate the power of the State to protect its citizens. He seems to be made of sterner stuff than Governor Parker, whose campaign against the Ku Klux in Louisiana suddenly subsided, after uncovering the horrors of klan torture hidden in Mer Rouge.

He seems to be made of sterner stuff than Governor Parker, whose campaign against the Ku Klux in Louisiana suddenly subsided, after uncovering the horrors of klan torture hidden in Mer Rouge. Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania was also moved to take action against the mayor of Johnstown, whose order for all Negroes to leave that city unless they had been residents for seven years, also included Mexicans. The Mexican embassy at Washington took up the matter in a note to the State Department, which was forwarded to the Governor. His assurance that "the whole power of this commonwealth will be used if necessary to maintain constitutional rights" doubtless applies to those Negroes who are American citizens as well as to the Mexican aliens. Mayor Caufiel of Johnstown whose arrogant decree of exile started the trouble, later insisted that his statement to the newspapers was not a formal order. Private advices from Johnstown are to the effect that the Negro residents, as a whole, are not paying any attention to the Mayor's order. Nevertheless this mayoral mouthpiece of the Klan should be called to account by the State authority and made to understand that he cannot rule like a South American dictator. Another project that calls for the cooperation of State executives is a Governor's conference outlined by Senator William Cabell Bruce of Maryland, who not long ago denounced lynching and mob law. The object of this conference would be to devise ways and means for the adoption of a uniform anti-lynching bill that could be recommended to the several State legislatures. Incidentally, this might lessen the demand for Federal intervention against mob law and lynching and relieve some statesmen of both parties from the embarrassment of taking a stand for or against such legislation as the Dyer anti-lynching bill. It is announced that the governors of Georgia and Texas are in favor of the plan. And with the exception of Flor- Let the governors hold their conference and agree on uniform legislation to suppress mob law and lynching. Let them recommend the passage of such a law to the legislatures of their several States. Even grant that some of these legislatures may adopt it. They will have the same hostile forces to contend with that subdued Governor Parker and that are now striving to crush Governor Walton. The powers of the governors and the powers of the States have not proved sufficiently effective in the conflict with mob violence and klan terrorism to obviate the need for Federal intervention. Until the State proves its capacity to crush the mob the greater power of the Federal government is the only safeguard. Nevertheless, it is good to see the governors getting into action. They may help create a healthier sentiment in their respective States for the enforcement of law and order. MODIFY THE VOLSTEAD ACT. MODIFY THE VOLSTEAD ACT. Indications are increasing that the more enlightened and courageous legislators are in favor of putting the enforcement of prohibition on a more practical footing. The dangers of drastic legislation have been clearly shown by the open disregard of the Volstead act, with its stringent regulations drawn with such fanatic zeal as to overshoot the mark entirely and lead to open violations in every large city. The country districts, where prohibition finds its most zealous supporters, get around the law by the making of home-made wines and stronger beverages.

The country districts where prohibition finds its most zealous supporters, get around the law by the making of home-made wines and stronger beverages. Senator Couzens of Michigan saw the futility of seeking to enforce the rigid provisions of the Volstead act, and a few months ago he announced his intention of proposing an amendment permitting the use of beer of three per cent, alcoholic strength or more more recently. Senator Wadsworth of New York, speaking before the American Legion of this State, urged that the law be so modified by Congress, "as to permit the consumption of those liquors which the experience and reasoning powers of the people convince them are harmless." Neither of these Senators is anxious for the return of the saloon. In fact Senator Wadsworth specifically called for such a modification of the law as would prevent the return of the saloon and eliminate the intoxicating and dangerous liquors that are now so freely vended. He declared that millions of people now purchase illegal alcoholic beverages, some of them every day and the rest when they get a chance. In describing these conditions he said: Senator Couzens of Michigan saw the futility of seeking to enforce the rigid provisions of the Volstead act, and a few months ago he announced his intention of proposing an amendment permitting the use of beer of three per cent, alcoholic strength or more.

In describing these conditions he said: "Human have been indulging in alcohol liquor for thousands of years. It is folly to suppose that we can eliminate utterly a thing of this sort at one stroke by the passage of a supremary law forbidding it." "Let us thrust aside rising hypocrisy, search our hearts and speak the truth. We blame the bootlegger and make long speeches about him, and a lot of people who do the denouncing and the oating turn right around and buy liquor from him or consume their friends' liquor which they know has been bought illegally. "There must be something wrong with a law which brings about such a condition. If it were a good law it would command respect and obedience. It is only a bad law that brings contempt and wholesale violation in its train." When such clear headed legislators as these so Senators point out so plainly the dangers the situation brought about by the absurd gors of present prohibition enforcement, ear position should command attention and spect. Prohibition so far has worked large-to the interest of the bootleggers and the When such clear headed legislators as these two Senators point out so plainly the dangers of the situation brought about by the absurd rigors of present prohibition enforcement, their position should command attention and respect. Prohibition so far has worked largely to the interest of the bootleggers and the corrupt politicians who aided in their efforts to circumvent the law. The Government itself has furnished the violators of the law with their stock in trade by the provision for the releasing of denatured alcohol free of tax. With alcohol as a base skillful compounders can furnish any kind of liquor desired. The modification of the Volstead act so as to provide non-intoxicating beverages of reasonable alcoholic strength would be the first step toward taking the market away from the bootleggers. Then the making of denatured alcohol should be restricted to the purposes of established industries and its diversion prevented by rigid precautions. The tax on liquor for medicinal purposes should be put back at the rate of $6.40 per gallon and a smaller tax imposed on the denatured spirits, so that an adequate revenue might accrue to meet the expense of government supervision. If prohibition is to prevail, it must be tried upon a practical and workable basis. The Volstead act should be modified so that it will work for good instead of evil. CONFLICTING CONVENTION DATES CONFLICTING CONVENTION DATES. The season of conventions of our various race organizations, which is just closing, gives rise to the comment that too many of these meetings are scheduled for the same dates, at points that are widely separated. This overlapping of dates makes it difficult THE NEW YORK AGE or impossible for many individuals who belong to different organizations to be present at these annual gatherings. For instance, during one week in August there occurred the national convention of the Order of Elks in Chicago, the Colored Medical Association at St. Louis and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at Kansas City. Among the numerous attendants at these various meetings were many individuals who were largely interested in the doings of more than one of the organizations; nevertheless they were able to attend only one of the meetings, because of the sameness of time and the difference of location. A little cooperation among the organizations in arranging the dates and locations for their annual gathering might have made it possible for the parties interested to attend two or more of the conventions. While it may not be possible for all of the racial organizations, including the National Negro Business League, which met a week previous to the others named, at Hot Springs, Ark., to unite on one place for their annual convention, upon consecutive dates, it might be worth while to attempt to bring these gatherings within a smaller radius. Individuals who are interested in more than one of them could then arrange their trip so as to permit their attendance upon more than one convention. A cooperative convention movement with the object of combining the holding of these racial conventions at a common center each year, with certain dates to be allotted to each organization, would be worth considering. If the same individuals were accredited to more than one convention it would reduce the traveling expenses of the regular delegates, while the individuals who devote their summer vacations to visiting conventions could indulge their inclinations by attending as many of these gatherings as appealed to their fancy.

COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS In discussing the ups and downs of a local theatrical venture and the assumption of racial responsibility for its success, a writer in the Baltimore Afro-American said. Another reason why we should keep this theatre is that gap of amusement is worthily in need of a higher standard. This may not be done by owners of other roles who have nothing but a financial interest in the business. The most dangerous aspect of the Negro problem in large centers lies in the tendency to leave so small a factor as amusement in the hands of those who have no interest in the civic side of the question and will persist any kind of show that keeps the box office happy. And we must not forget that as a drain on our finances and as a factor in our moral welfare the amusement field stands next to food shopping and housing. We suggest that our business organization appoint a committee to look into this matter. The importance of the proper kind of amusements or entertainments as a factor in rural development cannot be stressed too much. The old saying about writing the stories for a people being more effective than drafting their laws is not without point in this day and time. Take for example, the Voluntead act. The Northwestern Bylletin of St Paul noted the death of Mrs Nancy Green, nationally known as "Aunt Jemima" of pancake fame, who was killed by an automobile in Chicago. It said: Mrs Green developed a national reputation following the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. Her skill in preparing flapjacks caused one of the foremost milling concerns to purchase her recipe. Since then "Aunt Jemima Pancake Flour" has appeared in all markets of the world. For years "Aunt Jemima" was a prominent figure at fairs all over the country, where the demonstrated her ability as a pancake and flapjack tuner. These tours were continued until age overtook youth and the famous lady returned to her home in Chicago. Mrs. Green belonged to that group of individuals whose features have been made familiar through the art of advertising. It includes a shoe manufacturer who became governor of his state, two brothers whose whiskers suggest cough drops, the bearer of a wholesome, comforting beverage, besides the compounders of many specifics to cure human ill. Great is the force of advertising . Commenting on the reported purchase of an expensive motor car by a well-known actor of the race, the Florida Seminole said. Last week we carried the news that one of the race's most successful actors had bought an $18,000 automobile, equipped like a pulman palace car. When we get any thing we believe that it should be good and beautiful, but there are times when we can go to the extreme in this. We cannot see the necessity nor the good sense in going to the extreme in anything. Just why anyone should want a car of this price we cannot imagine. We do know, however, that had this man taken $10,000 of this money and put it into an enterprise he would have made it possible for a number of Negroes to make a living. Most of our corporations start with this amount and work up to larger amount, and herein the price of this car is a Negro business enterprise. The motor car craze is no respecter of pergons, the pulpit as well as the stage, falling for the fascination of ownership of a modern charat. Even one of the bishops of a colored denomination around considerable criticism in the organ of his church by the acquisition of a six thousand dollar car by contributions from the conferences over which he presided. Under the heading, "What Does It Mean?" the Denver Star waxed enthusiastic over the results of the recen: Y. M. C. A. campaign, saying: The Negro citizens of Denver, less than 7,000 men, women and children, in an effort of self help, raised in subscriptions and cash, $12,855.0—a new record in the raising of funds in a Y. M. C. A. campaign or any other financial effort. Think of it, almost $2 per capita. For the entire city of Denver in the same proportion, it would mean more than one half million dollars, a mighty fine record. It was said by some it could not be done. But we did it. Is there any special significance in this unusual accomplishment? Does it indicate an exceptional type of citizenship? Does it mean that the Negro citizens of Denver have discovered their strength? Does it mean increased respect and deference of a minority group? Does it mean we have raised ourselves in the estimation of the public? Does it produce a new day in the life and career of Denver? Let us hope that The Age Readers' Forum it means all of this and likely to see the frusters thereof. This action on the part of the race in Denver probably means all that is received above as a manifestation of self-help. It should also mean the securing of adequate representation in the management of the organization and thus prevent the foaming upon it of most officials. An institution of this kind can be wroched by the retention of an executive head who has been his own executive, through the anatomopathic attitude of a central board of directors, who override the local management. The Detroit Independent asserted with much emphasis that community ownership of public utilities has been just as successful as individual ownership. As the proof of the pudding in another place it was stated that Detroit's street railway had a net profit for July of $464,847. It added: The government (i.e. the people) is now in business "up to its neck" as it were, and it specializes in enterprises that affect all industries and all people. That is the function of all government. There is too much loose talk against our government and its honesty and efficiency in business affairs. It has a tendency to create groundless suspicion and destroy that faith which characterizes the true American and which we are trying to inculcate in the minds and "The Jashawker American," the Klug paper of Kansas, sets forth in capital type, in the center of the front page, the "principles" of that organization. We shall help the Ku Klux to advertise by repeating these 17 principles and aims here, making such comment of each as seems fit. "THE TENETS OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION." That is the most rot. Those fellows propose to whip you, to tar and feather you, and to number you "in the name of Jesus Christ." Of all criminals, the most dangerous and the most contemptible are those who attack you under the guise of religion; they "open with prayer" and close with hell. Now! this is the real heroat-to-goodness foundation of the Ku Klux Klan. This is the author of their being. This is the reason for their existence. This is their beginning and their aim. They place it SECOND on their program in order to hide it by beginning with the RELIGION, camouflage. "White Supremacy" is really the first of their behalf and aims. And yet some imbecile colored leaders allow Klan "speakers" to come into their churches, make a $25 donation, and tell the congregation, "we are not after colored people." And yet the very first text of the Klan, next to their blasphemous attack on heaven, is their blanket attack on all things colored: "WHITE SUPREMACY" "PROTECTION OF OUR PURE WOMANHOOD." Perkaye the compassion here is on the foot. "And yet these hypocrites whipped and raped white women in Oklahoma, according to Governor Walton. We heard a prominent Southern white woman recently that they do not want to be protected by criminals. We might add that womanhood never has been and never will be protected by crime." CLOOSER RELATIONSHIP REF. CLOSEER RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AMERICAN CAPITAL AND AMERICAN LABOR And a closer relationship still between "American capital" and the Ku Klux treasury. "PREVENTING THE CAUSES OF MOB VIOLENCE AND LYNCHING." Of course, the Klux try to fool some body by making a face and uttering angry phrases against mob violence and lynching. But do you notice how they put it? They are not going to prevent mob violence and lynching, but they are going to prevent the "causes." Now what are the "causes?" The general cause of lynching is the progress of the Negro American toward equal rights and his demands for full citizenship. This progress and demand is what the Klux aim to "prevent." There is no particular cause which they can name as the cause of lynching: lynchings are for everything and for nothing. Only a very small number of the people lynched are accused of raping even by the lying mob that lynch them. An old Negro was lynched for trying to prevent white men from raping his granddaughters. This is one of the "causes" that the Klux propose to "prevent." That is instead of preventing that old man from being lynched, they would prevent him from opposing white men who just only wanted to rape the old black man's little granddaughters. Colored people have been lynched for defending their wives against the attacks of gentleness like those in the Klan. This caused those black husbands to get lynched. The Klan would prevent that cause. Colored people have been lynched and massacred because they had farms and homes and automobiles that were "too good for niggers." The Klux would eradicate such evil causes. We do not need to go any further; the reader can carry on from here. "PREVENTING. UNWARRANTED STRIKES BY. FOREIGN LABOR AGITATION This is not going to fool any hard headed laboring man. Why is an "unwarranted" strike any worse than the striker is "foreign" or the offender is "foreign"? Who is to judge when a strike is "warranted"? if not the laborer himself? What makes the Ku Khex Klan a competent judge in such a matter. "THE LIMITATION OF POREIGN IMMIGRATION." If this be desirable, it can best be done without the interference of others. We would, however, prefer any of the immigrants to the "citizens of the Invisible Empire." THE PROMOTION OF PURE AMERICANISM. That's a reason. It is more not, like that "religion" with which they blessed hearts of the existing generation. A large proportion of the populate now living sent out under various groups in little less than disproportion. It certainly is not good Americanism, and just as certainly helps no one. On the other hand, it is not well to try to evade the fact that government operation of any enterprise tends to siff initiative on the part of the executives, raise costs of operation and multiply employees to an unnecessary extent, all to drive political ends. The profit figured on the Detroit street railway for Jody probably omitted to figure such items as taxes, depreciation and other liabilities that a private corporation would have to include. SUGGESTIONS TO CARELESS BUSINESS PEOPLE Many places are untidy and not fit to enter. Windows are unclean; too many flies, dust and dirt; broom handy but soiled used; goods carelessly displayed and as carelessly handled. CHANGE THESE CONDITIONS AND YOUR BUSINESS WILL GROW. Put Business into your place. Study Price--Don't be higher than the Other Fellow! up these "principles" Pure Americanism is a square deal to every man. It will uphold the law of the land before any mob, even a mob with sheets over its shoulders and pillow cases over its head. "UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION OF THESE UNITED STATES." By executing and whipping men and women without judge or jury. by VIOLATING the constitutional right of every citizen. By advocating the violation of certain amendments to the Constitution. By denying the EQUALITY of rights before the law—which is the reason for the making of the Constitution. "THE SOVEREIGNTY OF OUR STATE RIGHTS." By defying the government of Oklahoma and denying the power of the whole state government. By seeking openly to set the decrees of the Imperial Wizard up above the law of the states. "THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE." And the UNION of "protestantism" and "kluxism." In the name of God, we would rather have no religion than any religion dominated by this gang of criminals and bigots. The separation of church and state originally meant RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE, but religious insolence is greatly near to "white supremacy" in the Klan bible. "FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PRESS." And yet there is not a Klan-ridden state in the whole South that would permit the Negro people and that press to speak and print freely. "EDUCATION OF WORTHY AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP" Look at that "worthy." Citizenship is made worthy by education, but the Klan proposes to pick out the "worthy" and then educate them. That is, the Klan proposes to say who shall be educated at the expense of the public. That is easy to see thus. "PROTECTION OF THE WEAK AND INNOCENT DEFENSE OF THE HELPLESS." That needs no comment. That is the "joker" in the list. RELIEF OF THE INJURED AND OPPRESSED. THE SUFFERING AND UNFORTUNATE PUBLIC EDUCATION Then the Klanist hit the head on the head. Only the public does not need education or training in "Klan" principles. We hardly any need for that Klan university in Georgia, or that other one in Indianapolis. We need no instruction in murder and thugery. That is born in us, from the days of our brute ancestors. We do not need to be taught how to hate, to despise, to be selfish, to be mean, to be cowardly. We need to learn the contradiction of those natural weaknesses of our nature. But we do not need PUBLIC EDUCATION. And thorough public education about this Klan will cause Klanism to pass into history, where withcraft and slavery have passed, and where the divine rights of mortals and the fear of demons and hells are passing. "THE MUCH NEEDED LOCAL REFORM." We do not know why the Klan closes the list of its "principals" with this, unless it just needed something to close with. The whip and tar are feathers the faggot and post-violent and blazing cross, and night the mantle of criminals—the bababas instruments and methods are not necessary to any "local reform." The most needed reform in any locality is to get rid of this barbarity. All that is good in those "seventeen points" of the Klan can be attained without the Klan, and can never be attained by means of the Klan methods. Racial Loyalty. Editor of The New York Age How do we regard the potentiality of the Negro? Do we, as Negroes, regard it as equal to that of the white man? If this question were asked the average Negro it would be answered in the affirmative without an exception. Accepting the average Negro's belief as true, why is it that we, as rational thinking people, contradict our words by our actions? The Negro as a race is today demanding an equal opportunity with all other races of the world. Long ago we decided to place into the hands of our gospel ministers the development of our spiritual life, and our spiritual growth has proved the wisdom of our decision. We are confiding greater and greater confidence in our doctors and our lawyers and the wisdom of our confidence is also proved by the fact that whenever we find a race whose people have great racial loyalty, that race is in advance, both financially and economically, of those races which do not manifest such loyalty. The fact that the Negro has not reached that degree of necessary, to racial peace brought very fiercely to a funeral which I attended field.

Germany in Africa is already a member of the league, and Abysm its ten million nominally Christian jecta, has at least as strong a membership. Once admitted, she be helped, under such a mandate as Anti-Slavery Society suggests, to hasten in order. It is to be hoped the assembly at its September meeting will agree to these proposals.

C. BASIC DAILY: September 9, I had the priority to bring my friend, Rev Bob Palibello. She preached on Sunday and evening at St Paul's Bishop's Church, and as the afternoon weekend discourse on Africa and later it as follows: I am grateful to the Heavenly Father to spared to speak to you gain. I have been preaching for five years; fourteen years of prayer in my own town. I sang in the jails. Twenty-one years ago I started my missionary work for Africa. For twenty years I did not think that any country could be interested. I was anxious to myself I wanted to go and take a mission. I consider my going a direct love from my Heaven father. I was on a sail on the 3rd of December. The company failed and I had hundred dollars and then I went in America. The second day of January I sailed. When I was the eighth month I spent traveling into native towns, and leaving a single person. I took the whole trip was the lead in mighty God. I lay on the porch of a noted chief, who the river front. I was very thin, water has to be boiled twenty minutes for a non-native). I was very angry. I closed my eyes and prayed to God. Oh, God! I am thy kind you knowest my condition and I am going to wait upon thy until my death! When I opened my door, there stood over me three men, and the chief, and two natives, and took my traveling bags, and I was behind not knowing where I was going. We arrived at our deserts, and I remained four days made more comfortable for me. You have to take care in the African men. I went twenty days, entertained by and just as nice as I ever had before my life. You are absolutely know how to respect the The Mormons are very much like the American Negroes, same kind of skin, and tinted color of skin, and tinted color of skin.

OLD MAUNTS Blue skies filled with soft, fleece clouds, accented by a cool, racy wind, impressed me satisfactorily that it was a perfect day; also, that it was going to waste as far as I was concerned. Catching up a pair of tramping shoes from under the bed I left by way of the back door, calling sharply to "Old Timer," who was busy chasing files and emitting angry barks when he missed them. There was plenty of work to be done, but a day like this was made for tramping. Giving a caution backward, and seeing no one in sight stepped over the back fence, "Old Timer" crawling undermeath, the same way that boasted no sidewalks and which was heavily shaded by giant elm trees standing like silent sentinels along the roadside. Sitting down under one, I changed my shoes and slinging the others merrily over my shoulder took the path that leads, to the stone wall. I stopped at the beginning to examine some initials that members of the gang had carved years before. Memories of old times came back vividly as I traveled the stone wall of the times when I used to run on that same wall with unbelievable speed when chased for stealing apples. Passing many trees, bearing the hallmarks of "ups boys," I came to the ledge and ran up, beating "Old Timer" by a foot as he came scrambling out of the underbush. I stood under a tree to touch my breath and picked a branch of the gree leaves with their rounded petals and stuck them in my hat. After pulling a large stick from under some blackberry bushes and rubbing a scratched hand I started on the trail that leads down by the brook. All looked the same as it used to when playtime was from dawn to sunset. "Old Timer," bounded off to renew hostilities with a muskrat that lived in a hollow under a weeping willow tree. Crossing the roadway I resumed the path that was an Appian Way and led to Arcadia. I looked up startled. Where was all the cow weed and other high grasses that fairly hemmed in the path and stood head high at this time of the year? far as I could see it stretched green grass only laid out. They had made a spark out of the paradise accreted to us. Then I realized that I had lost something and that like my childhood it would always hover near, yet out of reach. "Old Timer" ran around in a purified way and care up to me as if to say, "Too civilized for us, old scout," and trotted away with drooping cars and a dejected air to his tail. I walked over places now partly filled in with old buildings, which in the old days had been crossed with a flying leap, and bridges replaced the old pieces of branches which you trod with care, as a mistake meant a ducking. They had cut out the underbrush, also the barbed wire fences which we used to take with a high jump were now covered in grass, and seemed rather tamed. Not interesting enough for me who loved it in its wild state and wove memories from end to end that shall never fade away. At last I came to the "ole swimmer's hole," and it looked the same, except that the water was not nearly so deep as it used to be. Yes, it looked the same, but for how long would it remain like that? For I knew that in the next couple of months it would bow to the hand of the landscape artist as the rest had done. I seated myself on the bank and with my chin resting on my knees, laid away the cares and worries of today and lived for a, half hour in the glory of yesterday, the yesterday gone day by day was arrogant in dreams by the touch of "Old Timer" sitting beside me and in his attitude seeming to express his sympathy, Pattling him softly on the head. I picked up my stick and without a backward glance took the path that leads to the foot of the mountains, and the longest way home. Plainfield. N. J. "ATALANTA." HELLO DEAR SISTERS: Now that we are all back home from our pleasant vacations, let us try to do our best and increase the column. In last week's Age we did not, have so many letters as I suppose we are just waiting to write them this week. "Billy Boy," received your sweet little letter but you did not send your address. I was very glad to receive a letter from a new member. "Kid Palmer," how did you spend the summer away? I can't seem to hear from you any more. "Happiness," I think it mean of you not to visit any of our Jersey girls at even though I was away such a lovely time that I could not have seen much of you. "Wilheimina" I still am looking for your letter as "Billy Boy" wrote me. "Kindness and "Innocent" please write now as I am invited." "Tita-Pat," did you not receive the last letter I sent? I shall write you again soon, concerning something very important. "Red" and "Atlanta," on earth has become of you two? "Ethel," dear, please excuse me for that false letter as I will send it this week surely. Hoping to hear from you occasionally, sincerely. Guard Your Health We Serve to Use Gateways of the Bandhole Our work is in the Sv 400000 12.000000 There are some things which the average Pullman porter should be well-posted on, even though he is only a porter—the things which the people of the world are thinking, saying and doing. The newspaper is supplied by the monthly magazine; the second, by the weekly periodicals; the third, by the newspapers. And if there is another group of emplays, excluding those who work in newspaper offices, libraries and book storm, who have the same opportunity of receiving without cost to themselves the information and knowledge as Pullman porters—we should like to know, as we are ignorant of them at present. The reason for all this free reading material is due to the habit which most Pullman traellers have of never taking a trip unless they are loaded up or down in a train. They are fitted with newspapers, periodicals, books, and all other kinds of literature, imaginable. If the journey be a long one, everything will be read if short, that which was brought in will be left behind any way. Thus, at the trip end, "George" becomes the logical possessor and owner of all left-over reading, and it is generalized to give reading his spare time is spent in pursuing the collection of books and papers which he gathered on the way, and it is indeed a good pastime to pursue when away from home or cut out at some way station on your line. Then there are other ways we have of getting literature. It is often given to us. In many cases passengers, after having read a book, hand it over to the potter, him to be sure to read it, especially if it be something relative to the Newer. The other day, one of these well-meaning passengers gave us the September issue of *Current History*, which contained under the heading. The Negro Question From Different Angles, three articles "The Black Man" by Marcus Garvey; "The White South" by Judge R. W. Winston of North Carolina; "Exodus to the North" by Eric W. Walrond. All of these articles are well worth reading, especially in connection with M. Garrison and the article written by Judge Winston. There is a striking similarity of opinion in these articles, as far as the future of the black man is concerned. Our view is that neither of them are much out of the way on that line. Yes, the Pullman porter, irrespective of the extent of his schooling, should be much acquainted with what is going on in the world of news, science, politics, opinions and fiction. Some of our more substantial porters are, but they like a good number of other colored folks, do not read the Negro press as much as they should. It is a peculiar thing, how many Negroes, who read, can tell you the editorial quality of every big daily that is printed, yet they show dense ignorance when you question them as to the standing and quality of certain Negro paper. With such, they don't read them. Our advice is, read your own race editorials and opinions. The other fellow will show us his. WORK BEING ACCOMPLISHED IN HARLEM BY THE BRANCH OFFICE OF STATE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU (Continued from First Page) eliminate as far as possible complaints of inefficiency and unreliability. A valuable consideration, offered to the seeker after work, is found in the fact that the service is without cost. Ordinary commercial employment agencies require an advance payment, usually about ten per cent of the offered wages, and an applied type of frequent barred from the job because of a lack of the required fee. There is another factor of value in the operation of the state labor office and that is that the bureau has more than $0.000 prospective employers on its lists. An example of this facility is shown by the office having access to the complete records of the Automobile License Bureau, with its roster of every auto owner in New York State. Then cooperation of churches, welfare and social agencies is sought through concordance with the sources of the bureau are at the disposal of a clientele the ordinary privately conducted commercial employment agency cannot reach. Located in Harlem, naturally the majority of the situation seekers are colored but no racial and gender workers of all nationalities. A recent case was cited in which a machinist and auto washer were asked for, and the bureau sent colored men to fill the places. The employers, however, were not interested in white workers. The need was filled. Laborers in Mixed Groups. In another instance, the main office had a call for a considerable number of laborers from the Arbuckle plant in Brooklyn and from the New York Central lines, the white laborers available for the task, that fell into a quiried number, so the Harlem office was called on to complete the quota with colored labor, which was quickly done. Many similar requests are received and filled for carpenters and bricklayers, and for workers skilled in colored skilled, workers on buildings alongside of white craftsmen. Many calls are received for office building and hotel workers. In the office buildings they are wanted as elevator operators, messengers and porters, while in the hotels, contrary to the general belief that the colored waiters have a fiercely positive effect, many waiters are filled. The colored bellhop is also largely employed. Then from the factory proprietors are coming with more and more frequency calls for colored men as workers. Colored musicians in white cafes and hotels are also in demand, and Mr. Whale staged that several had been placed in such positions. An unusual request came in a few days, when a man in a white Edison Electric Co. 19th street and Irving place. A colored man of striking and pleasing personality, closely in appearance, with a stature approximating 6 feet, 2 inches, was wanted to serve as "Information Man" in one of the big Edison buildings downtown. The duties pertaining to this position required the man to familiarize himself with the building and its officials connected with the building and impart that information to any who came inquiring there, way about the building. The type of man waited was found THE NEW YORK AGE in Edith Daniels of 2005 Seventh avenue, formerly employed as an apartment house superintendent by one of the Harlem real estate agents. The job pays $1,300 per annum. The Women's Department. The women's department is under direct supervision of Miss Legie B. Wheeler, assistant superintendent. Calls for women employees are mainly for factory stores, shops and offices, nearly every group of women employed in groups in the factories, principally handling candy, novelties and in the textile trades. In the stores and offices, colored girls are largely employed as maids and attendants, but there is an increasing number of calls for stenographers by white employers. Another development is the increasing number of girls as elevator operators by the Wanmaker stores, where young colored men have heretofore been employed. A number of colored girls are also employed in this store as maids, attendants, etc. It is looked upon as an unusual circumstance that there should be so few calls for women employees, either by employees or employees. Mr. Whaley states also that his office has placed a number of colored men in automobile shops as helpers and in other positions, and recently a colored man was supplied to take the oition of store room keeper for a large theological seminary down town. This is a position of importance and responsibility, as the man is charged with the oition of the institute with the added duty of renewing stock. Some half dozen applicants were examined before one was finally selected. Mme.

Her personal appearance made her a distinctive type and she was in great deal with the leading moving picture companies for the enactment of "Mammy" deliminations. She had worked on many of the big productions staged by the Fox, Vigraphage and other film companies.

Dempsey, and to her had been confided the personal wishes of the deceased as to the manner in which the funeral should be arranged, including the naming of pall bearers and the floral offerings in the coffin. The floral offerings were numerous and imposing. The church was filled with friends present to pay the last tribute of respect. Capt. Chas.

The New Crescent Theatre Offers Big New Features Under Porter and Conway For nearly four months, since the early part of June, the Crescent Theatre at 36-38 West 135th street has been under the proprietary management of Thomas Porter and Wm. Alex. Conaway, jr. During this time they have worked to put the house in good condition, renew and rearrange the seating capacity, and put in motion the operation of a program of moving pictures that will compare with the films being shown at much more pretentious houses down town. Feeling that they have accomplished some of these things they are throwing open the doors of the new Crescent Theatre to the discriminating people of Harlem, marking the first week in October with a big opening display. Conaway one of the Seven Conaway creations and producers of modern musical cares, introducers to New York, Newport, Palm Beach, Bar Harbor and Southampton of the Hawaiian, Creole and Versatile Dance Orchestras which group of instrumentalists command the highest prices paid artists of their type. During the opening week at the new Crescent, Mr. Conaway will present his Serenading Creole Ramblers or at least two nights. There will be a special program of Hawaiian music and songs on the first night of the new opening, Monday, October 1, when the feature picture will be a Paramount Special showing Alice Brady in a romance of South Sea love, "The Leopardess." Another special program will be given on Wednesday, October 3, when the feature will be another South Sea romance, the VitaGraph Special, "Island Wives," with Corrine Griffith as the star. These young colored operators, in asking the support of their people promise to maintain a high standard of clean, enj-yable photo films, where father, mother, daughter, son will find equal pleasure and where the surroundings will be free from any objectionable atmosphere. The programs will be changed in their entirety each day. AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE The "Creele Follies", which opened a two weeks' engagement at with el Lafayette Theatre on Monday night, September 24, possesses an unusual amount of talent, but at the opening performance this talien was at a disadvantage because the show was so badly staged. Several changes have since been made to remedy this defect. The opening performance was also too long and dragged in several places. Emmett Anthony and Alex Lovejoy were exceptionally good as comedian; Marcus F. Slater, Mildred Hudgins and Edna Morton were good in their parts, while the specialty numbers of Lucile Hegamen, Julian Constella and George McClemon were also good and received considerable aplause. Other members include Peggy Brown, Edm Morton, Grace Smith, Mt. Trent, Homer Hubbard, Quinnard MBLer, Yank Bronson, Edith Dambar, Kitsy Abuncheme, Nettie Chase, Marlon Artigue, Myrtle Brunson, Bee Carr, Bell Johnson, Jackie: Plaster, Irane Parker, Alice Hayes, Grace Smith, James O.

A report that Ethel Williams, 12 West 132nd street, one of the best known and most popular dancers of the race, now touring the country with Ethel Waters, the "blues" singer, under auspices of the Black Swan Co., was dead in Los Angeles, Calif., from wounds inflicted, by her friend and partner, stirred Harlem last week. A Chicago weekly, with a branch office in Harlem, was said have received a telegram containing the alleged information concerning the killing, and this gave a semblance of verity to the report. However, press dispatches to the daily papers disclosed the fact that a white woman cabaret dancer, of the name name, Ethel Williams, had been found dead in her room on Wednesday, September 19, and the coroner's jury's verdict stated that death was due to hemorrhage caused by blows upon her head with a blunt instrument. The woman's former husband, James W. Cass, a rancher, of El Centro, Calif., testified that she had been intimate with drug addicts. Miss Williams and Miss Waters were playing in Alabama at the time. AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE How motion picture stars are made is definitely shown for the first time in pictures when Paramount's "Hollywood," a James Cruse production, comes to the Lincoln Theatre Thursday. "Hollywood," by Frank Condon, "tells of ambitious ones who go to the most famous city in the world—and what they see there. Among their experiences is the signing of a contract with Cecil B. De Mille in the famous room which such stars as Gloria Swanson, Thomas Meighan, Bebe Daniels and Jack Holt entered as players to emerge as stars. Cecil B. De Mille was formerly an actor and a finished performance by him is assured. Needless to say this sequence will be watched by the hundreds of players Mr. De Mille has directed. Cecil B. De Mille, Pola Negri, Thos Meighan, Wm. S. Hart, Agnes Ayers, Jack Holt, Walter Hiers, Leatrice Joy, Jacqueline Logan, Nita Naldi, Betty Compass—to name only a few of the famous Hollywood player-folk seen on Hollywood Boulevard, at the various studios, in the famous luncheon places and at the famous Hollywood Hotel, are pictured in this story. "Hollywood" is hailed as the first real picture of Hollywood and the greatest screen novelty in many seasons. JOHN HENRY LLOYD DEPOSED AS CAPTAIN OF HILLDALE TEAM According to an announcement sent out by Ed. Bolden, owner and manager of the Hilldale baseball team of Darby, Pa., that nine have recently gone through a organization and Frank Warfield has been appointed captain in place of John Henry Lloyd. The change is said to have been made in the interest of harmony within the team. Hilldale has just won the championship of the Eastern Colored League, and many of the fans give the credit for this successful feat to Lloyd, who is one of the best shortstops in the game, an aggressive leader and a keen student of the game. Warfield is also said to have an inside knowledge of the game and is well liked by the entire team. Hilldale will engage in a five game series next week with Connie Mack's Athletics. ```markdown ``` "Battling Siki" Is Not Uncouth Savage He Has Been Pictured by American Press Underwood in "Evening Telegram" Says He Is "Intelligent, Courteous, Polished, Quick-Witted," Entirely Different from Mental Picture Previously Drawn.

THE NEW YORK AGE "Battling Siki" Is Uncouth Savage Pictured by An Underwood in "Evening Telegram, Courteous, Polished, Qu Different from Mental Picture George B. Underwood, write "Evening Telegram" one day las ing closeup of Battling Siki, who ful figures in boxing circles today Monsieur - Luis Phal, otherwise known as Battling Siki, the Singular Senegalese, dropped around to see us the other night. "The Singular Senegalese gave us considerable of a surprise. From what we had read of Siki, we had been lead to believe he was tough, uncouth, semi-savage. Instead we found him superficially at least, an intelligent, courteous, polished, quick-witted Nergo, who speaks French fluently, talked intelligently and interestingly on several subjects, was quick at repartee, and, in fact, an entirely different person than the mental picture we had formed of him through cabled accounts. "Yet, despite his well groomed appearance, his show of courtesy, polish and intelligence, there was an undercurrent of boyishness in him that hinted lack of stability and balance, and indicated that the heart of the savage still beats under his polished exterior. Either that or his head has been turned by success, admiration and motority. "He impressed us as the sort of a boy who, with the right directing influence, might make something of himself, but without that influence is almost certain to drift on the rocks and shoals which quickly will leave him a derelict on the sea of life. He is of the headstrong, easily led, unsophisticated, gullible type which will be ridiculously easy prey for the wolves of the professional boxing game. What will happen to this little Red Riding Hood from far away France in this neck of the boxing woods is a shamed to tell. Left to himself Siki will be shucked clean to the bone. A stranger in a strange land, Siki certainly is up against a stiff proposition. "We don't know just how much of a boxer he is, although he must have boasted a bit of class to knock out Carpentier, even if Gorgeous Gorges is a has been, passe and just a shell of a fighting self that never was extraordinarily wonderful. "As far as the Mike McTigue bout went, we never attached any weight to that. Irish papers we read all declared that Siki, even though apparently under a pull, was robbed of the decision. "When questioned regarding the McTigue bout, Siki replied through the interpreter." "Siki, a mere boy, served throughout the entire war, and served with credit and glory, for he emerged with both the Medaille Militaire and Croix de Guerre. "Never having seen Siki in action, we are in no position to praise or criticise his boxing ability. "We can say, however, that he is a remarkable physical specimen. "The pictures we saw of him make him look somewhat chunky and thikset. "Instead he is tall and lithe. AEOLIAN 34 West 43rd Street, New RECIT M. LOUETTA C Coloratura Sopra (Management of Wiltan THURSDAY EVE'G, OCT. 2 CORA WYNN ALEXANDER Mrs. Chairman is a pupil of the Wiltan Lamb St. York City and her appearance at Aeolian Hall auditorium by a Colored Singer trained and drown shoulders. "The Senegalese has the largest pair of biceps we ever saw. In lieu of a tape measure we put a ticker tape around his biceps and tehn measured it on a wooden foot rule. It showed sixteen inches. "We may have been one-quarter of an inch of either way, but Siki's biceps are at least fifteen and three-quarter inches and may be a shade over sixteen inches. "His deltoid muscles are just as superbly developed. The hitting muscles across the back and under and just to the rear of the armpits are the largest we have seen on any fighter. When he raises his arms and tenses those muscles they swell out like the top of a derby hat. "Considering his build, one might look for some wonderful natural speed. Those lilie, willowy, bullet headed follows generally are quick as a cat and fast as a streak. "Siki's abnormal muscular development of shoulders and arms, however, would indicate that he is somewhat muscle bound and cannot hit as freely and therefore as snappily as one might wish. "The punch that incapacitated Carpentier was a peculiar right hand smash to the heart, delivered with Siki'a full weight behind it as he leaped lungingly in. "It was not the short, snappy punch with which the best hitters do their execution. "Judgement of Siki's boxing and hitting ability, however, will have to be postponed until Siki is actually seen under fire. "Siki is matched to meet George Godfrey in Philadelphia this week or next, we forget which, and will face Kid Norfolk in Madison Square Garden next month." SKI MAS TOO MANY MANAGERS; BOXING LICENSE IS HELD UP Too many managers caused a delay in issuing a boxer's license to Battleing Ski, Senegalese light heavyweight, at Tuesday's meeting of the State Athletic Commission and the License Commission two managers appeared to press their claims on his services. The application for the license was tabled pending an investigation of the situation. Because of this and because of a conflict between matches which have been announced for the Senegalese, plans for Ski's proposed bout with Kid Norfolk at Madison Square Garden on October 12 have been temporarily halted. Niki to Box Jack Johnson Quebec—Batting Sikh, Senegalese conqueror of Georges Carpentier, and Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, will meet in a six round exhibition contest here next Monday night. October 1. Sikh, the world's light heavyweight title by knocking out Carpentier, later lost the crown to Mike McTigue on a referee's decision in a bout at Dublin, Ireland. Harry Wills Is Matched To Fight Homer Smith On October 11 In Queens Harry Wills, th ecolored heavyweight champion, has decided to change his tactics of patiently-waiting for some promoter to match him with Dempsey, and on Thursday night, October 11, he will be seen in action, for the first time in more than a year, against Homer Smith of Kalamazoo, Mich. Smith is the heavyweight who a short time ago threw a big scare into the promoters of the Dempsey-Firpo bout by staying ten rounds with Luis Angel Firpo, a feat that Jess Willard or the other big fellows were unable to accomplish. Those who expected to see the South American match short work of Smith were surprised to see the Western stay the limit and give Firpo a merry tussle. The heavyweight card at the Queensboro for Thursday promises to be one of the best of the season. There are three ten round bouts. In the first Emmett Puryear, the colored heavyweight, and Joe White will fight a return bout. In another ten, Pat Walsh will meet Russell Pearlstein, and in the final bout, Harry Wills will meet Homer Smith. THE BIGGEST HIT IN YEARS LUCILE HEGIMAN QUINTARD MILLER EMMETT ANTHONY LDNA MORTON DLEK JAN LYD MILDRED HUDGINS GEORGE L. LENNON MARCUS SLAYTER GRACE SMITH Including the Sensation "BABY" BANKS BIG BILL TATE SEEKS BATTLE WITH WILLS FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Through his manager, George P. Moore, Bill Tate of Chicago has issued another defi to Harry Wills, for the colored heavyweight championship of the world. To show that he means business, Moore has agreed to deposit $2,500 with Frank Flournoy, matchmaker at Madison Square Garden, which will be presented to Wills as a present when the match takes place. In a statement to The Age Mr. Moore said that Matchmaker Flournoy had agreed to stage the match at Madison Square Garden as soon as Wills signed for it. Tate claims that in his last two fights he defeated Wills in one bout and fought him to a draw in the other, and that now he is in much better condition than Harry is. A Chicago promoter offered to stage a Tate-Wills fight on July 4, last but Wills' manager refused to allow the colchampion to fight anyone other than Jack Dempsey. Since Mullins has agreed to allow Wills to fight Homer Smith, Tate declares he should be given a chance. New York fans who remember the Tate-Kid Norfolk fight two years ago, are of a different opinion and think Tate should seek a return bout with Kid Norfolk or some of the other colored heavyweights in the East.

There was a creditable attendance at Mother-Zion Church, Sunday morning, September 23. The preliminary educational exercises were participated with enthusiasm. This aplendid spirit is due to the eager anxiety of the members and friends of the cl'rel to see the work of constructing the new church, continue without interruption. The sermon was preached by the sermon who took his text from Zephaniah 11:12. And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lives; that they in their heart, the Lord will not do good, neither will be dill evil. Dr. Brown said in part: "In our text we have a metaphore of a man who has suspicion of his bearers and every event of the house with candles in hand to see what be can handle the Holy Spirit searches the men and makes known all other secrets. The light mention-ment may also refer to the conscience man when it is enlightened by His Spirit to settle upon one's lees means to become satisfied with one's present condition, or progress, and ceases to aspire. We have too many people of that type in our ranks. The text declares God condemnation upon time and the punishments that follows." "Paul had every reason to be satisfied with himself, but listen to his words—Bethlehem I could not myself have laid hold, but this one thing I go, forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before. I PRESS ON. "Let us guard our own conscience, Study God, Holy Word; walk in the roosters of the Man Christ Jesus, praise earnestly for deliverance from evil and to be led into right paths and daily crying out "Search me oh God and know my heart." At the close of the sermon a number of persons was received into the church. The Sunday-school opened at 2 o'clock. At the close of the lesson study period, the Sunday-school was favored with a short talk by the Rev. Mrs. Randolph, a missionary worker who has given much service in the foreign field. Mrs. Randolph was speaker at the missionary mass meeting, and Mrs. Randolph preached the annual sermon to the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. Regular meeting of the Board of Stewards on Thursday evening. An entertainment will also be given at the Brotherhood House under the auspices of Class No. 1.

The sick: Priscilla McMahon, 244 West; 124th street; Edna Kimball, Becker Washington Sanitarium; Ransom Bennett, 2449 Seventh avenue. First Emmanuel Church. The Sunday services were largely amended. Many gathered to hear the invoking sermon by Rev Bolden. In the morning he preached from text "For the perfecting of the salants, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ. Till we all come in the unity of the Faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ—Ephesians 4:12, 13. Theme "Purpose of the ministry." Pastor Bolden said, The Apostle Paul outlines a program for the awakening of the mind of preachers and teachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ to their chief duty. He seems to have understood the purpose and meaning of our Lord's sayings such as "If they infite thee on the check, turn the other." "Seek ye from the kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all, these things shall be added unto you." The teachings of our Lord to him was practical and obligatory. The modern arguments and apologies attempting to prove the impossibility of living according to the literal interpretation of our Lord's teaching, according to the text, had no place in the mind and activity of the great apostle, Paul. The preacher is the highest type of writer in social development. And under the light and guidance of the Holy Spirit, he is to impress the people of his day that he is an artist or a Divine Master, in an eternal school. And that his business is to preach and teach with a view of vitalizing the people, quickening to the sense of sainthood, and alluring to the urging spirit on to perform. The Spirit is the Emmanuel, the Universal Spirit, Father God, the Trinity, is developing in the mind of humanity through great cataclisms and castrophes a growing sense of racial unity through common suffering and needs, among all races. But quicker and larger results for good would come to mankind if positive preachers of eternal truth would demonstrate the beauty and power of a perfect society. The old testament gives at least two examples of Jehovah's standard of perfect human types. Enoch and Job; and each of them lived in full relation to the standard of their day. And we all know that our Lord Jesus, the Emmanuel, was not only possessing contracting all of the social relationships of his day, but that He was so dynamic that His personality and thought continues to spread through all times spiritualizing humanity. The Sunday-school was opened at the annual hour. Supt. Hogans conducted the opening exercises. An thirteen farm, new children out, owing to the farm, Hogans had a general bar.

Physical Dept. Of the 137th St. Y.W.C.A. September is a sort of inventory month. We gather up the loose ends from the summer and begin to prepare for the siege of winter. We must think now of warmer clothes and filled coal bins. We must put the rugs down and the curtains up so that everything will be snug and prepared when Jack Frost comes along! But how many of us take a health inventors? Few, I fear. Health is really not so much of a problem in summer because life is a bit relaxed and one can spend much time out of doors. But with the coming of winter things tighten up—work usually becomes heavier and the inclement weather keeps us at more time out of doors. In February and March—pneumonia time—we begin to feel tense nervous, dragged out, and fit prey for this dread disease. Many of us, in fact, have come to accept a yearly attack of gripe as a dispensation of providence. This should not be. Colds are life-shortening and can be prevented. The prescription is simple—ordinary care in diet, plenty of water, proper sleep and exercise—last, but by no means least! The best place I know to get the exercise is in the "Y" Physical Dept. Here you may have the supervision of a trained physical director who will give you exercises most suited to youd own needs. Besides these you may swim, play basketball and indoor tennis and roller skate. Then there will be for you outdoor hikes and they are really great fun. Warmly, and comfortably dressed you swing along briskly in the bracing winter air and the world is your! Pretty soon your muscles tone up, you throw off feelings of lasitude, you stop taking colds and headaches and you know for the first time that you are free from pain—but one hundred per cent well. This is the month to get ready. Come in and talk with Miss Nelson. A club of about twenty-five ladies motored in from Poughkeepsie for a sight-seeking tour and they visited the Branch.
