Meton The year which is coming to a close has been filled with much that is significant and encouraging for the Negro race in America and in other parts of the world as well. Most impressive is the new and widespread interest in the things that concern our people in all sections of the country. Newspapers and magazines have been carrying articles in discussion of Negro welfare and activities to an extent that has not obtained heretofore. At the same time, the accomplishments of men and women of our race have reached an unusually high standard of attainment in widely different fields of effort. These things taken together are an index both of substantial progress as well deserved recognition that must be heartening to every member of the race who contemplates them and to those friends of the race who have contributed in any way toward ALPHA PHI ALPHA IN 16TH CONVENTION AT COLUMBUS THIS WEEK Greek Letter Fraternity Is Invited by Gov. Smith to Hold Next Session in New York. Columbus, Ohio.—Hundreds of college men from all sections of the United States are pouring into Columbus, Ohio, for the sixteenth annual convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, which opened Thursday, December 27, and runs through the 31st Governor Alfred E. Smith extends through the delegates of the New York Chapter, a most cordial invitation to the convention to hold their 17th annual session in New York, 1924. A prominent New York physician, Dr. P. F. Anderson and Rev. Marshall L. Shappe, assistant pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, are delegates from Eta Chapter of this city. They expect to bring the next convention to New York City and they carry with them invitations from prominent individuals and organizations of this city also the following letter from Gov.

These things taken to stantial progress as well deserved by to every member of the race those friends of the race who have such achievement. More than anything else, perhaps, the migration of Negroes from the South to the North, which continues, has served to fix attention upon the Negro in those parts of the country where he is relatively a new and unfamiliar figure, as well as in those sections from which his departure has created a more or less serious problem. It is a source of satisfaction to note that the discussion of this migration has very generally been temperate and considerate, and that for the most part, it has had the effect of arousing the nation as a whole to a more serious concern for the welfare of this very important element of our national life and of creating a more active day position to accord the race such opportunities as are rightly theirs as American citizen and as measured by their individual merit.

Anderson responsible for the deposits of depositors in their bank which failed. The amount involved was $287,000. The bank closed its doors in December, 1921, with only $123 tangible cash on hand. Attorney I. C. Purcell, of Jacksonville, appearing for the depositors, made an eloquent plea in behalf of his clients, setting forth that the Andersons were possessed of properties, in Florida and New York, valued at more than $200,000, which with other convertible assets belonging, to the bank, would suffice to meet at least 80 per cent of the claims of the depositors. The court allowed each side two hours and a half for argument, after which briefs were submitted to the Court. Decision was reserved. Mrs. Bethune's Niece To Daytona. Fla.-Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune announces the engagement of her niece, Floscia Viola Bennett, to Dr. Clarence L. Roberts of Jacksonville. The marriage, which will take place in the early spring, promises to be one of the leading social events of the season. Miss Bennett is a young woman on charming personality and is exceedingly popular with the younger set. After graduating from the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute, she took a special course at Columbia University and returned to her alma mater as assistant bookkeeper, a position which she fills with credit and honor. Dr. Roberts, a graduate of Edward Waters College of Jacksonville, Fla., and of Meharry Pharmaceutical College of Nashville, Tenn. is manager of the Magic City-Drug Store of Miami.

Brief History of the Growth and Development of The New York Age From 1880 to 1924 Began In 1880 as "Rumor," then "The Globe" and "The Freeman," It Reached Place of Power and Influence as "The New York Age"--No Change in Editor for Past Seventeen Years One of the most encouraging phases of Negro progress in this country during the past few years has been the steady growth and widening influence of the Negro press. Though several Negro publications have been organized for more than forty years, only in the past fifteen or twenty, years have these race journals made material progress. In this period they have grown from narrow personal organs to mediums of wide influence with readers in all parts of the country. The New York Age is one of the pioneer Negro newspapers of the country. It was established in March, 1880, as "Rumor" at 81 Nassau street with George Parker as the first editor and publisher. Associated with Mr. Parker was a group of intelligent young men of active mentality, which included Walter Gordon Christopher, Richard Parker, T. Thomas-Fortune, Isaac B. Johnson, Samuel J. Stokley, Pierre Barguet, Frederick P. Hayes, and others. A feature of this publication was a full page-wood cut portrait on the first page, Frederick Donglass and Prof. Charles L. Reason being among the subjects represented. The First Change. "Rumor" must have been an expensive enterprise, as it was well gotten up on book paper with 12 pages. It soon became involved in financial difficulties and Mr. Parker's interest was taken over TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, being a Holiday, all Correspondents are requested to have their news in this office by MONDAY, DECEMBER 31. by one of his creditors. The name of the paper was changed to the "New York Globe." The latter publication was issued in regular newspaper shape of four pages, which style was continued in "The Freeman" and "The New York Age." In 1884 a change in management caused the name to be changed to the "New York Freeman" with T. Thomas Fortuna as editor. In the political campaign of that year "The Freeman" was a strong supporter of the Prohibition party. This party met with such disastrous defeat that the publishers found it advisable to again change the name of the paper and its policies. The present name was decided upon and the paper became Republican in politics. Its editors and publishers at this time were T. Thes, Fortune and Jerome B. Peterson. The Age became at once an influen An all-the-year Christmas or preciated by a friend is a year's New Year's gift that will be subscription to The New York Age-42. Bootleggers Seem to Have Access to Inside Information Which Tips Them Off in Advance of Projected Raffles So That Evidence Is Always Gotten Kid Of Before Officers Come. OFFICERS ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED HOLDING UP OF CIGAR DEALER SAID TO BE SELLING HOOTCH — MAN HAD ALREADY PAID $1,000 Spasmodic raiding of the bootlegging emporiums in Harlem is not of much effect, judging from the results achieved. Such raids as have been made have not accomplished much, as in most of the cases legal evidence of illicit hootch-selling has not been found. It is authoritatively alleged that the reason for this is that the raids are always tipped off beforehand by some one in the prowl from hootch with and collecting pay from the bootleggers. Those familiar with conditions declare that the only remedy is for the raids to be made continuously and under such circumstances as will minimize the opportunity afforded spies in the enforcement offices to secure and transmit advance information to their hootch-selling friends. Another necessary step is to use in these efforts those officers who are immune to graft and who would not be amenable to "greasing" of their palms. The arrest of two former police reserve officers, a few ays ago, charged with demanding and accepting a bribe from alleged hootch-sellers, is a step in the right direction, say some, but it does not go far enough. had other troubles, too, it seems. He purchased his supplies from the saloon formerly conducted at 133rd street and Seventh avenue by Pappen, but lately taken over by Loui Bamberger. As long as he did this he was not bothered, but when he took advantage of an opportunity to buy hootch from some other source, the officers came down upon him with a vengeance. This is in keeping with the bootleggers' policy, to control the hootch trade or drive independents out. Would Curb The Age. Whether the campaign conducted by The Age has been effective or not, it is certain that the bootleggers have made Only Got 845. These men, it is charged, held up a Seventh avenue cigar store keeper, who was said to be selling hooch at a side line, and made him pay over $45, which happened to be all the cash he had available at the time. But previous to this occurrence, it is alleged, this same man had been forced to pay from $1,000 to $1,500 to other officials, higher up, and nothing has been said or done about this at all. It would appear, to the wayfaring man, that the little fellows are being punished for encroaching in a piking way upon the reserves of the big fellows. This man, the cigar store keeper, has John D.

This is in keeping with the bootleggers' policy, tu control the hooch trade or drive independents out. Would Curb The Age. Whether the campaign conducted by The Age has been effective or not, it is certain that the bootleggers have made strong and persistent efforts to put a stop to the exposures printed in this paper. Mysterious agents have appeared at various times with thinly veiled suggestion as to the financial profit awaiting the publisher of this paper through certain advertising and other contracts which would be made by the bootlegger fraternity, or through their connections, if The Age would cease publication of articles concerning hootch selling activities in Harlem. The boast has been made by the bootleggers that a certain control is exerted over other publications, and that it would be desirable and most profitable to The Age if it would submit to a burtailment of its activities in fighting the sale of hootch in Harlem. In one instance it was hinted that a fund of $60,000 would be available, and in another, a series of advertising contracts at $10,000 each, were spoken of. At least two supposed-to-be reputable colored citizens have approached individuals who were thought to be in a position to influence action by The Age, and tentative suggestions were thrown out as to profitable financial arrangements which were possible 1F- Needless to say, these propositions ill-died abnormally and not one of them reached directly the publisher. The lawyer retained to defend the police reserve officers, who were placed under arrest is alleged to have asked the editor of one of the other Harlem newspapers concerning the identity of one of the arrested men. This editor, it is reported, disclaimed not only his own personal acquaintance with the officer in question, but declared also that neither Loui, Moe, Hyman, or Comie knew anything of him. This would seem to indicate a rather intimate knowledge on part of the editor of the affairs of the bootlegging group. Hyman the Hootch King. It has developed recently that Hyman Kassell, and not Loui Bamberger, is the Harlem bootlegking king. As told last week, he is now operating at least fifteen boot-selling places in Harlem, under various camouflages. Some are matching the form in which he made his original venture 12, or 14 years ago, most of a cigar store. Others are framed with a quick lunch counter, equipped with full paraphernula for entering to a hungry man appetite, but not engorging the thirst of those soiling hoods. Then there are beverage performers, without any mask, and regular, open-face booths. In these photos, Hyman has a variable gold swine. One of the smallest of swine at 511 Lemon avian, with a silver star front, is said to bring in a weekly swine cubs of nearly $1,500. With Blank PAGE TWO places, many of them larger than this one. Hyman's income assumes photometric proportions. It is alleged that he gives all his time to supervising these places to the extent of collecting the accruing profits, but leaves the actual running of them to a horte of cousins and other relatives. One employee, said to be named Goldberg, has worked for Hyman for the past five years at a salary said to be $70 per week. It is asserted now that having accumulated a nice little nest egg of about $20,000, Goldberg is contemplating desertion of the bootlegging ship at an early date and retiring to a safer, if not as profitable, means of livelihood. How Hyman Started. A statement concerning Hyman's activities, alleged to be authentic, gives the information that he opened a cigar and stationery store on Lenox avenue, near 137th street, some twelve or fourteen years ago, later opening the present store on Lenox avenue between 132nd and 133rd streets. His advent in the oil-gelling business, it is said, came about during the war when he began serving whiskey to soldiers in uniform who were barred from admission to the open saloons. With the enforcement of prohibition, it was but a step to the further development of this business. Then Loul, who was running a legitimate delicatessen business, saw the possibilities, and he is alleged to have formed an alliance with Hyman. Today Harlem is infested with scores of booth joints as a result of this alliance. These places, supplied daily with the inquirer needed for the trade. A high-powered automobile, carrying the 1923 number of 122-115, and said to be the property of Hyman, is used as means of transportation. Every day, in the boldest manner, this car is driven from place to place on Lenox avenue, delivering wet goods to Hyman's places, and to Loui and other of Hyman's customers. Revenue officers honestly seeking evidence in Harlem ought get it with no trouble at all. The sales are made over the counter, by the drink or by the bottle, from a four-ounce vial to a quart or more, and the most casual stroll up or down Lenox avenue is all that is needed, for the most utter stranger to the locality can locate the drink emporiums by their olfactory nerves. The scent of hooth pervades Lenox avenue from 130th to 145th street. But, it is pointed out, the officers must be honest and not possessed of itching palms, for if that be the case, they will return from Harlem with filled pockets and hands empty of prisoners. More Abqut Poison Hootch. Last week, The Age told of the use of denatured alcohol as a basis for boocht and the danger resulting to the consumer by reason of the poisonous nature of such concoctions. Corroborating those statements is the announcement made by Dr. J. M. Doran of the industrial alcohol and chemical division of the Internal Revenue Department, that of 75,000 samples of prohibition whiskey, all of which were purchased in criminal cases, more than half of them were poisonous. Commenting on the vicious conduct resulting from the drinking of these liquors, Dr. Doran declared this to be a result, not so much of the high alcoholic content of fusel oil, but to the acetaldehyde content, and the ranker the whiskey the higher this content. Dr. Doran declares that "While the liquors containing the various toxins we have found may not cause immediate death, they very directly impair the health. Each and all of them have most definite harmful physiological effects." That this poison howch is to be found in the Harlem bootlegging joints is shown by the result of a raid made by revenue agents in The Bronx last week, when twenty barrels of hootch seized proved to be in process of distillation from the most deadly form of denatured alcohol on the market. Divisional Prohibition Chief Merrick declared the stuff was not fit for rubbing. It contained, in addition to its base of ethyl alcohol, two parts by volume of approved wood-alcohol, one and one-half parts by volume benzine and one and one-quarter parts pyridine bases. How Long Are Hootch Sellers to Be Allowed To Defy Decency? Illicit hootch-sellers operate openly and brazenly in Harlem. Law enforcement officers are not only defied, but it is openly charged that the bootleggers have complete control of official activities through large sums paid in bribery. Is this true? If not, why is it that Loul, Mor, Hyman, "Chief," Dominic Tony, and the other Harlem bootleggers are so bold in their illicit liquor selling? Listed below are 82 addresses of business places on Fifth, Lenox, Seventh and Eighth avenues, and on West 132nd, 133th, 138th, 139th, 140th and 144th streets, and it is alleged at each of these addresses bootleggers are operating, either openly or under a camouflage of some sort.

Motor A New Year's Message To The New York Age From Robert R. Motor ity, better educational facilities and justice in the courts for the Negro. Both state and private agencies are active as never before to give the Negro race its fair share of the prosperity which has blessed our country, by increased appropriations, by the extension of civic advantages, by increased wages, and other visible improvements in social conditions. In the North, the race is entering into larger opportunities in industrial and civic affairs. In those centers to which members of the race have gone in largest numbers, there are many visible signs of the readiness with which the race has taken advantage of these opportunities that make for advance in wealth, progress in education, increase in comfort and a greater measure of both physical and moral welfare. In general, there is a larger effort than ever before to make justice more certain and opportunity more equal. Meanwhile, the Negro race on its own initiative is continuing, its rapid strides in economic educational, artistic and political as well as social and religious development. Both North and South, there has been a steady gain in the acquisitions of property. In the cities, whole blocks are being taken over by Negro residents, and to a large extent, the property is being purchased by individual homeowners. Negro business is steadily progressing and the movement of Negroes to the North has had the effect of increasing business enterprises among Negroes in this section. Increase Attendance in Schools. Schools for Negroes have everywhere had a marked increase in attendance and building operations are to be seen on nearly every campus. Negro art and literature are meeting with popular acceptance on the stage and in private circles. Less than ever before is Negro origin a handicap to the members of our race in securing such recognition. Politically, we witness the fact that the cause of the Negro is becoming less and less a party issue. This is as true in the South as it is elsewhere and there have been striking instances where the effort to raise such an issue has met with dismal failure. Church life within the race has never been more active in the effort to contribute to all phases of the development of our people. Not only is the church securing better equipment for itself but it still keeps its hold upon the race as the most influential organization in shaping the aspirations of our people. · Solve Own Problems All this points to the fact that the Negro is steadily increasing in the power that wins respect from without and enhances its ability to solve from within those problems in which outsiders can be of little or no assistance. This shows itself in a growing recognition of the Negro's capacity to manage such affairs as directly concern the life of his own people. A greater disposition exists on the part of the dominant race in our country to work with the Negro in contrast to the attitude of working for the Negro. In the light of all these things, we may close the year with gratitude and enter upon a New Year with a consciousness of strength and with sound reason for bright hopes as to the future. This is not to say that all our problems are solved, that all our difficulties are over. No race occupies such a position. The Negro need not expect in this to be more fortunate than others. The truth is, in view of the encouragement and success that have rewarded the efforts of the race in recent years, it is becoming increasingly interesting to be a Negro in this age of the world's progress. After all, our struggles are not too hard, our efforts are not too often disappointed to take from life the best and satisfaction of high endeavor and lofty achievement. For my own part, I was never more proud of my race, never more hopeful of its future, and never happier to serve its interests in my own limited way than at the close of this Year of Grace-1923.

Brief History of the Growth and Development of the New York Age From 1880 to 1924 (Continued in First Page) tual publication and there were few journals of that size that presented a better appearance. Since 1887 The Age has changed editors only once. Seventeen years ago the paper came under the control of Fred R. Moore, who has been the editor and business manager ever since. The news and editorial departments of the paper have always been known as among the most able and best edited in the country. Question: of vital importance to the race are presented from various points of view with the object of sourcing a fair and impartial concern of opinion from its earliest days The Ace has been fortunate in enlisting the volunteer efforts of many correspondents writing with special authority on the subjects they discuss. Among these are distinguished members of both races, including Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Robert R. Moton, Dr. Alexander Crummell, Robert H. Terrell, George Foster Peabody, L. Hollingsworth Wood, Dr. George E. Bragger, Moorfield Storey, John W. Cromwell, Archibald Johnson, and others. Among its contributors at various times have been numbered Charles W. Anderson, John F. Browne, Roxanne Simmons, E. I. Thornton, George T. Dawning, Henry Downing, John M. Larsson, the late T. McCants Strawland, and others who have been to fame in politics and journalism W. E. B. Dahlke while a student in Germany started his peculiar literary style in a series of letters of unique character and interest in this paper Dr. Henry A. Morrow and Bishop Alexander Walters described their travels in Europe and the Holy Land for the benefit of many church members and other interested readers. Public Questions Discussed In addition to such matters, The Age discusses from the broadest plane as from many angles all public questions affecting the welfare of the race. It has stimulated activity along such lines as would produce the best and most lasting results. "It has aimed at the securing of equal citizenship rights by supporting those candidates who have these broad principles. It has not hesitated when necessary to oppose those candidates who have failed to measure up to the demands of justice and fair dealing. In it development, The Age has filled the dual role of a school for journalism and a technical printing plant. Among the achievements of this paper the management of Mr. Moore has been the development of a large printing plant, where the paper is published in its entirety by Negroes. There are about a dozen publications for Negroes in New York, but The Age is the only one that has its own printing plant. All others being printed in white shops. When Mr. Moore became the publisher, the paper was located in Chatham Square. In 1911 its offices were moved to West 40th street, where a printing plant was installed in the rear of the building. West 40th street was then in the heart of the colored section of the city, but the migration to Harlem made another move necessary. Removed Plant to Harlem. So in 1919 The Age moved to 250 West 135th street, where, after the building had been remodeled, the largest and most complete printing plants conducted by Negroes in New York was installed. This plant consists of a twenty-page Goss Straightline Webb perfecting press with a capacity of 25,000 papers per hour. A complete sterotyping plant, two linotype machines, three job presses, one casting box for electrots, and full equipment for job work. This department of the paper is ally managed by the editor's younger son, Gilbert S. Moore assisted by Iverson R. Quick and W. E. H. Chase. It employs from seven to ten people as tradesmen. The business department of the paper is under the editor's supervision and is conducted by his daughter, Mrs. Ida May Dullley, cashier, and his son, Forgeene L. Moore, who has charge of the advertising and circulation Miss Marion Moore, the editor's youngest daughter, in secretary and assistant in first circulation department. Amount, the editor's other achievements has been the development of capable newspaper writers and assisting young men with literary talent. In this THE NEW YORK AGE respect Mr. Moore has had a hand in the development of several of the most prominent journalists of the race. James Weldon Johnson, for a long time contributing editor, was encouraged in his early literary efforts by Mr. Moore Lester A. Waltman, who formerly was managing editor and dramatic critic of the paper and now a member of the staff at the New York World, received much of his newspaper experience with this paper. Several prominent members of the staffs of other papers also began their newspaper careers with this paper. The Editorial Staff. One of the best editorial writers on any colored paper in the country is Jerome B. Peterson, who was one of the founders of the paper and who has been connected with it throughout its entire history. The present managing editor, Locker H. White, is an able writer, with wide newspaper experience. He is a musician of note and one of the best musical critics of the race. William E. Clark is city editor and has charge of the Sports Department of the paper. The Age has always believed well Reed Washington that the future development of our race is in large measure dependent upon companies development of the individual, and for this reason has given public space in its news and other columns to the need of business development within the race and a larger economic opportunity for the Negro by the large industrial corporations of the country. It has never been a conventional newspaper and believes in cleanliness and accuracy in its news and editorial columns. It numbers among its subscribers and readers the better element of the race in all parts of the country and is also read by representative white people North and South. It also has subscribers in many foreign countries. Chicago Planning Welcome For Silver Jubilee of the Nat'l Negro Bus. League Tuskegee Institute, Ala. "Chicago is ready for the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League," declared Frank L. Gillespie, President of Liberty Life Insurance Company, and president of the local Negro Business League of Chicago, in a conference with Dr. Robert R. Moton, president, and A. L. Holley, secretary of the National Negro Business League, Wednesday, December 12, at Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Gillespie made a special trip to Tuskegee Institute to center with the president and secretary of the national organization on plans for the "Silver Jubilee" of the National Negro Business League which will be celebrated in Chicago, August 20, 21 and 22, 1924.

In noting the transition from one year's calendar to another, it is well to recall the record of the past twelve months. From it we may take encouragement by reason of steps gained and at the same time draw inspiration for the efforts of the future. The year of 1923 brought more than the usual crop of successes and failures, so far as the race in America was concerned. While the record of accomplishments may not be as full as we could wish, the net result has been a distinct gain in the march of progress. In the educational field besides the colleges and schools turning out the annual crop of trained graduates, greater attention has been directed toward providing fields in which these graduates may prove their proficiency. The increased demand for the services of professional men, especially in medicine, and the increase of insurance and financial institutions, has helped to increase the opportunities for those possessing college and high school training. In the technical trades opportunities have been opened along new lines, where the youth who domed the jumper and overalls, with muscle and brains combined could surpass the white collar employee in earning capacity. The scarcity of both skilled and unskilled labor, attributed to the restriction of foreign immigration, has helped to make these new opportunities for the Negroes who wanted to work with their hands. Majors of the immigrants from the South have secured jobs in the various industries of the large cities of the North and West and have generally made good. In many communities where the work was steady, they have become permanent members of the community. Congested housing conditions, consequent upon the interruption of building operations during the war, have made it difficult in some places for the newcomers to find suitable homes, but that situation is being changed by degrees. The migration movement has so far given rise to a minimum of friction and disturbance of normal conditions at this end. A notable manifestation of the year was the increase of public sentiment against Lynching and mob law, and also against the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Especially was this noticeable in some of the Southern States, where influential white Southerners have taken a public stand for law and order. A somewhat discouraging feature has been the open propaganda of the Klan in the North and West, where its intolerance has been manifested along religious and political lines. The growing independence of the race along political lines has shown an appreciation of the power of the ballot as a weapon of defence against deceit and trickery on the part of either party. Looking now at the immediate community, in New York City, greater interest appears to have been taken in the purchase of property, in the saving of earnings, in the development of business enterprises and in the conduct and support of charities and welfare movements. The churches have entered upon an era of larger building plans, of which the new edifice occupied occupied by Abyssinian Baptist Church, is a splendid example. This movement has been supplemented by a liberalization of sentiment on the subject of providing proper recreation for the church members and the youth of the community. The church is no longer looked upon as a building to be thrown open for worship only one day in the week. The local ministers have shown a disposition to take an active part in promoting civic righteousness by denouncing the practice of bootlegging and other evils that beset Harlem. If their opposition to "hootch" venders should take the form of practical cooperation in putting an end to the flood of poison that is demoralizing both the old and the young, they will have accomplished much to help toward civic righteousness. A deplorable phase of harm wrought to Harlem institution through lack of understanding is still presented in the West 135th Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, in the retention of an executive secretary, who has lost his usefulness. In spite of inevitable drawbacks and discouragements, the retrospect of the past year is not without satisfaction and the warrant of renewed hope for the future. Here's to increased opportunities and accomplishments in 1924! BENEFACTORS OF THE BACK. At a season like the present, it is not out of place to consider the consistent cooperation of a number of white friends of the race, who have aided by their benefactions and practical encouragement in the support of such useful welfare movements and institutions as the Urban League, the Young Women's Christian Association, the Boys' Welfare Club, and the Katy Ferguson and Sojourner Truth Homes.

These organizations are all doing a need and helpful work in the community, in which the necessity for funds to meet the growing demands of the special task in hand frequently outruns the income from contributions. In such emergencies the aid of these friends of the other race, who have elected to work with the colored people in the establishment and upbuilding of these institutions, has been most valuable. Conspicuous among the contributors to all of these worthy objects has been Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Largely through the efforts of Dr. Katherine B. Dayis, he made possible for the Katy Ferguson and Sojourner Truth Homes to secure the buildings which the care of delinquent girls and unmarried mothers is now carried on. The work of Mr. Hollingsworth Wood as a moving spirit in the Urban League is well known and has secured other influential friends for this movement. Others whose benefactors have assisted in the development of one or more of the institutions named are Mrs. Rockefeller, Mr. Rossiter, Miss Wade, Mrs. Parker, Miss Leeds, Mrs. Willard Straight, V. Everere Macy, Clarence H. Kelsey, Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr., Arthur Holden, Mrs. Eliza Beth Walton, A. S. Frissell, Mrs. Leach and Mrs. Albert Erdmann. The spirit of kindly cooperation which has characterized the aid given by these friends has not been the least quality in making their gifts acceptable as well as valuable. It has shown an appreciation of what the race is doing along the lines of organized charity and a desire to encourage such a movement.

The sale of the building in Harlem used by the Young Women's Christian Association for dormitory purposes, without taking into consideration the necessity for a place to properly house the girls and women coming to the city, argues a lack of judgment or foresight by those responsible for the sale. The congested conditions in Harlem make it impossible to secure proper quarters for this class of our population without paying exorbitant prices for the accommodations. The wiser course, it seems to us, would have been to purchase a building to house these girls, at least until more permanent provision could have been made. The construction of a building for this purpose on ground already purchased would be a matter of considerable time, especially with the present excessive costs and scarcity of workmen. The decision of this important matter without consulting those in immediate charge of the work is an example of the manner in which some of our friends of the other race so ahead without realizing the need of consultation in such matters. The local board of control of the West 137th Street Branch is composed of women eminently qualified to give advice on this subject. Why they were overlooked in so important a matter, where their special knowledge of the needs of the work would have been of value, is hard to understand. The wise thing for the central committee to do under such circumstances would be to consult their associates of the West 137th Street Branch as to the best way of remedying this shortsighted movement. Our people are interested in the work of all of the branches of this useful organization. Those employed in the banking and mercantile houses give to all the "drives" without the thought of color division. While the central authorities have decreed separate branches based on the color line, the management and control of these branches should be shared, with those for whose benefit they are supposedly conducted. A closer and more human contact between the directors of this work will produce a better understanding and a larger measure of accomplishment.

They have been worked earnestly to make it each week. We thank our throughout the country, and in the success of The Age, larger support. There is more should do his or her part in accomplishment in 1924. THE NEW Comments By The On Saying It looks to us as if these college editors were subject to too great a distraction from their arduous labors. A colored minister in San Pedro Calif., is the latest crank who believes All Negroes should return to Africa and who is working to accomplish the end. With Marcus Garvey in the East and Rev. Lewis in the West another burden is added to those who have the real interest of the colored people at heart. The supply of cranks is inexhaustible seemingly. However, Garvey has subsided since his conviction by the Federal court for his diversion of funds collecting for the Black Star steamship line, now a wreck. sion, published in the Louisville Herald, a daily paper, the speeches were bold and to the point. The injection of race hatred into politics was bitterly scored and the Ku Klux Klan was denounced as a serious nuisance to the country. P. H. Callahan, one of the speakers, said that "there is nothing more destructive of a free ballot, pure elections and intelligent self-government than the injection of racial feeling in a political campaign." He claimed that great progress had been made by the Negro in the November elections, there are still many points to be gained until political and racial justice has been realized. The opposition to the Klan was voiced by Judge J. H. Hager, president of the Kentucky State Bar Association, who declared that capacity for leadership without the interference of reason as well as a capacity for hating are the prime qualifications for membership. An observant North Carolina editor, who is also white, a few months ago, discovered that a deficient mentality characterized the bulk of the Klan members, which made them the easy dupes of vicious leaders. The bold attitude taken by these Kentucky leaders was heartily supported and endorsed in the resolutions reported by the findings committee and adopted as the sense of the commission. We quote the following: "Resolved, since neither race, the black any more than the white, wishes racial amalgamation, the misleading phrase 'social equality' should no longer be permitted to hold back the helpful hand of white people from giving fair life and opportunity to the Negro. "Resolved, that the race problem is not one of social equality, but a human problem that can best be solved by thoughtful consideration of definite needs of both races. "It is recommended that hearty endorsement he given the plan of including the study of interracial relations in the curricula of high schools and colleges. "We recommend that when a bond issue for schools is to be voted on it should be agreed beforehand that an equitable division of the money thus secured should be made between the schools for the white and Negro pupils." "This conference commends the excellent paper of Judge Hager in which he shows that the Ku Klux Klan is reasonable in that it is contrary to human law as set forth in the Constitution of the United States and of the State of Kentucky, and it is also contrary to divine law as set forth in the Holy Scripture." In this advanced step taken by leading and influential Kentuckians, for the suppression of intolerance and the prevailing of justice in race relations, it is to be noted that the women were also represented by a division of their own. The chairman of this division announced that it had been decided to hold bi-monthly meetings hereafter to effect a more cooperative support of racial justice. Such movements as this cannot be without their due effect in bettering the racial conditions in the South. Kentucky has shown the way. Let her sister states take up the task of emulating the high standards set for Kentucky.

Under the heading of "Our Race Problem It'S Big Enough," the New York Evening journal, one of the Hearst publications, printed the following in black-faced type: Under the heading of "Our Race Problem —It's Big Enough," the New York Evening Journal, one of the Hearst publications, printed the following in black-faced type: Morrow, Oklahoma, according to Associated Press dispatches, keeps standing the sign: "Negro, don't let the sun go down on you here." H. W. Birch hired a Negro as porter and kept him for three days. A mob killed him and then shot down the Negro. --- If we have this kind of a race problem in America because Negroes brought here by white men and AGAINST the Negro's will in the days of slavery, we should take care to prevent the creation of worse race troubles by enforcing the creation of Asianic immigration. Not one word of depreciation of the racial tolerance that caused two murders and which will undoubtedly cause many more, not a scintilla of recognition of the fact that Negro is more of an American than many the paler races that have followed him American shores. It is this sort of passive Not one word of depreciation of the racial intolerance that caused two murders and which will undoubtedly cause many more. Not a scintilla of recognition of the fact that the Negro is more of an American than many of the paler races that have followed him to American shores. It is this sort of passive acquiescence in mob law and intolerance in the popular press that keeps creating race trouble. It was recently stated that the Hearst publications were managed by a board of control composed of the highest salaried editors on the staff, the great and only Brisbane being the premier. It would be well for Mr. Hearst to treat his cabinet to a short course of American history, with special attention to the part played by the black man. They should learn how the expatriated African since his advent as a slave in Virginia three hundred years ago won his place as a freeman and citizen. This was no gift. It was won by service on the battlefields in every war the nation has engaged in, and in unrequited labor, in developing the resources of the country. America's debt to the Negro is greater than the Negro's debt to America. The editors of the Heart newspapers should learn that the Negro is no alien to American soil. For three hundred years he has enriched that soil with his labor and with his blood. He has assimilated its customs and contributed to its growth as a nation. It was stated that the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company employed more than fifty clerks in its home office, had more than 700 field agents and had loaned over a half million dollars for home building among colored people. This is a creditable record for a growing racial enterprise. According to the Baltimore Federationist, owned and controlled by the Baltimore Federation of Labor, a Marietta, Ohio, cooperative company reported a saving to its members of $3,600. How come? That sounds as if it's world wide leading into. IN APPRECIATION. We desire to give public expression to the staff of The New York Age and the men in the various departments for the steady cooperation and faithful support given in the effort to make "The Age" an exponent of race development and race progress. They have been on duty each day and have worked earnestly to make it stronger and more interesting each week. We thank our agents and correspondents throughout the country, and Our Girls for the part they play in the success of The Age. We ask a larger interest and a larger support. There is much to be done and each one should do his or her part in putting over a big program of accomplishment in 1924. THE NEW YORK AGE CO. Editor. The Pittsburgh American thinks that Taz Ace objects to its "good opinion of Perry Howard." It said: Apparently The Age—reputable and usually high-toned—reads and hears grudgingly any good of those on the opposite side of its political fence. No body believes Perry Howard performs well always any more than the Age which has often blundered in the past. But the just-minded does not believe in eternal punishment and damnation either of Perry Howard or the New York Age. The Pittsburgh American can well remember when the Age felt certain that Booker T. Washington did not endorse the appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson when the Tuskegee man's endorsement wasn't needed. Many considered that the Age spoke grudgingly about Henry Lincoln Johnson's appointment on this occasion. It is his grudging disposition of the Age which "shocks its friends and pleases its enemies." The Pittsburgh American would like to see the Age have a fairer view of those on the opposite side of its political fence. The Age has brain enough, but it needs heart. With more heart The Age will not cherish ill-will because of "Perry Howard's Performances." The Age did not so much object to this opinion, as to the absence of any substantial ground being advanced for it. If the American wants to justify its opinion, it should do more than publish such an apologetic note as the above. It is all very well for it to cry "have a heart," but such performances as Mr. Howard has indulged in do not justify any tender-heartedness. When Mr. Howard opposed the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill and became an apologist for the Ku Klux Klan, he cut himself off from the loyal supporters of the race. The Star of Zion seized upon this admonition in President Coolidge's message to Congress, which it claimed above all others every group and citizen should beed: "There is an inescapable personal responsibility for the development of character, of industry, of thrift and self-control. These do not come from the government; but from the people themselves." Taking this advice the Negro should see how important it is to develop his strength, organize, solidify, and make himself a unit in the wealth, efficiency and character of America. He will compel consideration in commensurate measure with the contribution which he makes and he will never get any real rights which he himself does not co-peel. The lesson of self-help and self-development cannot be too strongly emphasized as a factor in racial progress. The race is learning this lesson through the course of hard knocks and adversities. Referring to the fourth annual meeting of the Inter-Racial Commission for Kentucky, the Louisville American Baptist said: Never was it made so apparent that intelligent people and good citizens could meet together and consider race questions for the mutual good of both races without any fear of social contact. This must have been reassuring to those individuals who see in every meeting of both races, even for discussing public questions, the Southern bogey of "social equality." The Prairie View Standard, published by Prairie View College, Texas, takes proper pride because the editorial office "is graced with having radio service." It says: By this wonderful invention, we are able to enjoy musical concerts and other programs of interest that are being broadcasted by different radio stations. The publicity department will in the near future be able to get current news by radio. Said the Des Moines Bystanders.

We ask a larger interest and a is much to be done and each one art in putting over a big program of NEW YORK AGE CO. Editor. The Age Editors Wings of Other Editors According to the Arkansas Survey, published at Little Rock, a group of colored man of El Dorado, Ark, recently purchased a large office, building in the business district of the city. Two of the joint purchasers, Prof. R. B. Bermon, and R. B. Garrett, are owners of oil wells. This is further evidence of business prosperity attending the race, despite adverse surroundings. In announcing the fact that a large amount of unemployment is found among colored laborers, the Buffalo American said: This is due to the fact that many mills and factories have ceased operation until after January 1st. This is nothing unusual, and should not give rise to any painkick feeling. It is general rule of a great number of plants to cease further production when the amount of goods on hand is greater than the demand; this is following the general law of supply, and demand. The question which concerns us most is the amount of suffering in the families of the unemployed, especially the suffering of women and children. We pointed out in these columns some time ago that there would be a general slack in industry and urged our group to desist from laying off and to lay by some of their earnings for the easy day. We are certain that this advice, if then headed, would have prevented much of the distress that is now evident. The workers in seasonal industries have to learn by experience the necessity of providing for slack periods, when employment ceases and the pay envelope fails to appear. If no provision has been made for such periods, the worker must shift to other fields and his dependents become the recipients of charity. A hard lesson to learn, but necessary. The City Council of Norfolk, Va., in order to keep down the tax rate for 1924, decided to eliminate the item of free school books for the public schools. Discussing this backward step the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: An item of $5,000 is retained in the budget to provide free books to those children whose parents are absolutely unable to buy them. Such a policy is of doubtful propriety. Class distinction is a thing that should and must be kept out of the public schools. When a parent must declare upon oath that he is a pauper and unable to provide for the education of his child, while his neighbor's child goes out with an armful of books provided by his parents, such a condition of affairs is likely to come to the consciousness of the children themselves and the spirit of democracy be imperiled, if not destroyed. Society The Age Read Commends The Age. Editor of THE NEW York ACE: I want to commend you on the moral stand your paper has taken on the liquor question and better ministry: Your paper has taken a stand that every Negro should follow. (Rev.) RICHARD CARROLL. Columbia, S. C. The Race's Need It is really surprising to me to become acquainted with so many of our race who are really worried about the "Ku Klux Klan". Some of these young men were born in the North. Those of the South understand it a little because we have had to deal with such almost every since Emancipation. But perhaps it was not listed under the same heading it is under now. The Ku Klux Klan, burning the ferry across throughout some of the jowns in the State of Connecticut, is really nothing to be alarmed at according to my judgement. Every state, city and own where the colored man cannot be a fireman or cannot get on the police force and cannot become a motorman on a trolley car—I feel it is cooperating with ideals of the Klan. Every other nationality is given the preference. What we really need as a race is consolidated links—all men cooperate and join a league, regardless of what name the League may have—ministers and everybody, and as soon as such action is taken the better. And if the trumpet should be sounded—k would mean every man from coast to coast. That is really the only way for us to become a power and to demand our rights in this country as American chieftain. It would not thatter very much who the leader might be. Any man who is on the level would be all right for a leader. I would say to the young men of this country not to worry about present conditions - stand firm as men - demand your rights where ever you are. Saturday, December 29, 1922 canada shall not encourage this distraction, and this school book situation as it is, will certainly give rise to class distraction and neighborhood bitterness. Despite the recent adoption of a compulsory education law, the value of elementary training in the making of good chignons is not properly estimated in Virginia. And Virginia is far in advance of many States in the South. According to the Baltimore Herald, the greatest mission to prohibition enforcement "is the habit of lawlessness in the South, rested in the life of the dominant clanist in that section through the typhings of Negroes, destruction of their refugee and the double standard of law enforcement as so whites and Negroes." The "habit of lawlessness" is the greatest mission to the life and legacy of the American citizen, regardless of creed or color. Commenting on the appearance of individuals wearing the Klan disguise in various New Jersey churches, the Red Bank Bank said: The thoughtful people of Monmouth County are beginning to express frankly their indignation at permitting the agonizing Ky Klux Klan organization to deceive the Christian churches with their handed presents. The recent meetings on the Lord's Day throughout the county in spaces are being described as impulses to the Christian intelligence of the county. From the Christian religion point of view and belief, any person or persons headed savots of the devil. How to keep the devil out of the church is the problem, especially when he brings a fat purse for the minister. The Oakland, Calif. branch of the National Negro Business League has appointed a committee to look after the matter of securing positions for colored men in the various automobile plants of that section. The local League is making itself felt in the civic and economic life of Oakland. President M. S. Hunter, of the Steel City Bank of Pittsburgh, Pa., announced that the results of four years operation include 7,139 depositors and more than $300,000 in resources. Negrophobia at a Climax. (From New York Hall.) Peculiarly virulent is the race hatred and lynching spirit revealed in the cruel double murder reported in dispatches from Barlow, Okla. The Negro victim was apparently inoffensive, save in daring to exist, and the white man committed no crime but that of begging for the other's life. But Barlow, it appears, has a law of its own, which is posted about the place in public signs and which reads: "Negro, don't let the sun go down on you here." So when a colored man got a job as porter at a hotel and ventured to hold it a day or two a mob of more than fifteen BRAVE men, armed with pistols, went around to lynch him. A. V. Birch, proprietor of the hotel, went to meet the mob and intercede for his employee. He was shot dead before he could speak. Then the colored porter was shot. Birch's wife says she recognized the murderer of her husband, but the authorities say they have no clue upon which to follow up the crime. Barlow, it appears, is one of several towns in which the warning to Negroes is posted. Yet Oklahoma is in the United States, which has had in its Constitution since 1868 a provision that no State "shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens," nor shall any State "deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law" Can it be that Oklahoma is in the Union, but not of it? But putting the law out of the question, think of such rackiness cruelty being practiced a week from Christmas in 1923! And what must be the reflex effect of such ideals on the civilization of any community? Can the United States take no action to protect its people and its Constitution? are and the people who dislike, you will have, more respect for you. We also feel that if any race is really oppressed by the Klan it would be the Négro race. The Jews have the money, and the Irish have the keys to all the jails. They would lock old Ku Klux in up jail so that let's the Irish out. I am afraid that we are spending too much money building fine churches and not contributing enough for training schools. One of the largest handicaps today of our young generation is there are so many of us untrained women and men in practical matters. Bridgeport, Conn. P. GRIFFIN. A Boxing Protest. Editor of The New York Age: I want to enter a protest against the way boxing and the passing of titles are being handled in New York, the largest city in the world. The present boxing Commission, together with politics, is doing more to hurt being as a sport than a hundred "Jack Johnson's" could ever do. I witnessed the rotten decision in the Dumbo-Bernstein bout the other night and it was certainly an indictment against clean sports and an insult to the many fans who support this game and desire fair play. What is worse than keeping the sporting public from seeing two of the best benches of today mix in a bout namely, Dumbo-Wills! New York wants to see a real fight, regardless of race or crowd, and may the best man win. Dumbo is now a rich man and he should seek especially to clear his name as a slacker, dodger, a runner from real fighters, a hunter of soft things and a fatter of set-ups. Dumpy claims he wants to fight Wills. Well, "you can fool some of the people all the time, you can fool all of the people some of the time," but how about fooling "all of the people all of the time." It can't be done. Let's have more than fight regressions of politics and burn dissidents. A REAL FIGHT FAM. WITH OUR GIRLS edsy, December 96,-2008. Reris’ Christmas Wishes.

Igoe, the boxing authority of the New York World, wrote one of the fairest articles in favor of mixed bouts in this state, one day last week, that has ever been written. Although the ban on mixed bouts has been technically lifted for more than a year, and the smaller boxers of the Negro race have been getting plenty of work, it seems that the Commission has tabooed mixed bouts in the heavyweight division. Paddy Mullins made an application to have Harry Wills meet Bardley Madden, a white heavyweight, in this city sometime next month. On the day the Commission met to take action on this application, the following article by "Igoe" appeared in the World. PAGE SIX SPORT C By WILLIAM World Writer or Takes Up C Mixed He H.

The Boxing Commission may lift the ban on big mixed bouts at its regular meeting today, and we hope so. Let us point out to the members of that commission the deportment in the ring between Battling Siki and Kid Norfolk. Was there a cleaner, fairer, squarer giel between two men that that one? It wasn't a mixed bout, to be sure, but each of those fellows is entitled to a chance to compete in mixed bouts. Is boxing not above the petty notion that mixed bouts will engender race riots, then there shouldn't be any boxing. Peter Jackson's genius as a lighter, his pioneer teaching of the value of the right hand body punch, his generous, gentlely conduct until the day of his death in far-off Australia is one of the treasured memories of the ring. In the name of Peter Jackson we ask that the stupid, guttles, barrier that has been made against mixed bouts among the big men of the ring be raised this day. Peter Jackson, well dressed, quietly walked into a cafe one day in Friarco and, walking up to the bar, asked the more too intelligent looking barkeep for a glass of beer. The frown on the mixologist's face plainly spoke of prejudice. Leaning over the bar and talking right into his customer's face, the bartender said with little music in his voice: "Beer is $20. A GLASS in this place!" Without resisting, and with gentlemanly demeanor, Jackson reached into his pocket and quietly placed two $20 gold pieces on the bar, remarking as he did so: "Have a glass of beer yourself, sir." The man with the prejudice was cured for life. He soon found out who his customer was and followed his career as one of Jackson's best friends ever afterward. We'd like to know what Jim Corbett would say if he were asked if mixed bouts between heavyweights are inadmissible. We KNOW what he would say. Jack Johnson was responsible for the present ban, not for actions IN the ring but for those OUT of it. He paid the penalty in more ways than one, but greatest of all was his being barred in every State in which boxing thrives. But why inflict the punishment coming to him on the other splendid boxers of his race? An application has been filed for a meeting between Harry Wills, and Bartley Madden. We don't think it is the best match possible for Wills, but remembering what Madden did to big Fred Fulton, it must be said that Madden is at least entitled to a chance to show he stacks up against Wills. If the little fellows can conduct themselves with merit in mixed bouts up in Harlem, what reason is there to suppose that Wills and any white man would discredit the sport in the best club in the world? Knock down the barriers, gentlemen, and let's have some real bouts. The shade of the immortal Peter Jackson awaits your answer. If we CANT have the big mixed bouts, then Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Gans叫 of the colored wonders-lived and fought in vain. As for Jack Johnson, wonderful fighter, it must be said that he fought and won like a champion at Remo. There was no criticism of his conduct in the ring. He did nothing to make the most prejudiced ringslider lift a finger, despite all the talk beforehand of what would transpire if he beat Jeffries. It was Johnson's conduct out of the ring, condemned most strongly by his own people, that made him an outcast to the sport in which he was a past master. Annual Banquet Tendered Merchouse College Eleven Atlanta, Ga.—The annual banquet to the football team of Morehouse College was given Saturday evening, December 10, in the college dining room. Dr. A. D. Jones, Class 92, was toastmaster, and introducing the various speakers, he gave the oldtime players the congregants they had while in school. Dunn Archer, one of the first coaches, reviewed football at Morehouse from the first team to the present time, paying a fine tribute to Coach Harvey, who has served Morehouse for the past eight years. Other speakers were Toomer, Greene, Russell, Kelley and Wynn, of the alumni; ex-manager J. B. Harris and Coach Harvey. It was hinted that a grandstand on the athletic field is one of the early possibilities. Coach Harvey named the following players as eligible for the coveted varsity letter, "M"; Charles Kelley, captain; L. Irwin, alternate captain; C. Gayles, E. D. Hunt, W. Howae, A. Williams, N. Cooke, G. Turman, G. Davis, T. R. Starr, L. Jordan, E. L. Tousede, C. D. Clark, E. M. Greggs, S. H. Archer Jr. Assistant Coach Warner commended the 1922 team and the retiring captain, Charles Kelley, bid, arewell, for himself, Gayles, Howard and Huff, as they have finished their course and are leaving college after this team. Manager-elect Crawh with many of the alumni, were guests at the banquet. Ladies Join Now The female begin new being constructed in Harry and Lever Prentice.

CHAIRMAN MULDOON TO RETIRE AS HEAD OF BOXING GOMMISSION According to an announcement made on Christmas Eve, Chairman Muldoon of the New York State Athletic Commission will retire when his term expires on January 1. Mr. Muldoon has been head of the Commission for the past four years, and it was in many respects his 'artificial milings' which prevented a Dempsey-Wills match in this state. At first he was openly opposed to the bout, and later his attitude changed and he accepted Wills' forfeit of $2,500 as a challenge to Dempsey. When Governor Smith was reelected Mr. Muldoon's attitude again changed and while he never openly spoke against the bout again, the Commission refused to sanction it and finally returned Wills' money. In a speech in Harlem at election time the Governor placed the blame for discrimination against the colored boxers at the door of the Commission, claiming that they were not his appointees and he could not interfere in their work. So with the appointment of a new chairman, the present administration cannot escape responsibility for further discrimination. No indication has yet been made as to who will be selected in Mr. Muldeon's place. COMMONWEALTN FIVE WINS FROM SAXON 5; RED CAPS DEFEATED The new price of admission, 5 cent0s, and a double header attraction brought out an unusually large crowd, to witness the weekly basketball attraction at the Comonwealth Casino on Sunday night, December 23. In the principal game, the Commonwealth team scored a 33-30 victory over the Saxon Faye of Jersey City and in the other attraction the Silent Separates, a team of deaf and dumb players, scored a 20-18 victory over the Grand, Central Red Caps. The Red Caps did not play together as a team and were easy for their opponents. The Commonwealth team got off with a good start in their game against the Saxons and made nine point: before their opponents shot a field goal. The local team led throughout the first half, but did not find things so easy in the latter part of the game. With a four-point lead at the beginning of the second half, the Commonwealth were overtaken and passed by three points by their opponents early in this period. Eckert, the star forward of the Jerseyites shot five field goals in ten minutes and their other forward shot three. For a few minutes it appeared that the local team would Nose, but Jenkins was also shooting well, and Hubbard and Noles also scored goals which cut down the lead. Five minutes before the half ended, the Commonwealth again took the lead and retained possession of the ball most of the time until the whistle blew. Jenkins was, as usual, the mainstay of the local team and he was ably assisted by Fial and Hubbard. Eckert was the star for the visitors. The lineup and summary was as follows: Commonwealth (33) Saxons (30) Fial ..... R.F. Eckert Noles ..... L.F. Dorman Grant ..... C. Anderson Hubbard ..... R.G. Flynn Jenkins ..... L.G. Brazil *Field goals—Commonwealth: Jenkins* 5, Fial 3, Noles 3, Hubbard 2 and Grant 1; Saxons: Eckert 6, Dorman 5 and Anderson 2.

The Mother Zion A. C., of the church of that name, is making rapid strides in the athletic and social line. The club has won three silver loving cups, two for track and field competition, and one for basketball. At the present time it has two teams entered in the church basketball league and neither team has yet lost a game. The larger team, the Flashes, has played several out of town games and expect to journey to Bordentown, N. J. to meet the Bordentown M. T. School team. One of the club members, Marian Millz, running for P. S. 89, broke the P. S. A. L. record for the 60-yard dash. The Corsican Athletic Club, J. P. Williams, honorary president and advisor; Clarence Dover, president; Ambrose Morgan, vice president; Harold Greenidge, secretary and Wm. Green, treasurer, was organized on August 20, 1920, by a few boys, and through the efforts of Mr. Williams, it has grown to a membership of over fifty. The club specializes mainly in baseball, basketball, and track. At the present time it is going through a successful basketball season. Its team plays every Sunday evening in the preliminary games at the Commonwealth Casino. The club itself is about the strongest of its kind, financially, among boys throughout the city, and we are looking forward to the day when the Corsican A. C. will have a clubhouse of its own. Last Saturday night, at the Preservation Casino, the Renaissance "Five" was again defeated, this time by the fast St. Mary's Speedway "Five". The visitors had the better end of the struggle almost throughout. The home team, though strengthened by the addition of Leon Monde, of Brooklyn fame, was unable to keep up the pace that was set for them. In the preliminary game the Blue Belt Girls came out victorious over the fast Roosevelt Center Girls, heating them to the score of 15-12. HAMPTON FIVE TAKES GAME FROM SHAW ON COURT AT NORFOLK (B. P. B. YOUNG, JR.) Norfolk, Va. Victory smiled upon Hampton when she won the initial game of the season over the Shaw Five, by a score of 24-14 on Friday night, December 21, 1923. "Some game! Some teams!" was the verdict of the Norfolkians who saw their first colored collegiate basketball game. Both teams received a hearty ovation upon their appearance on the court. The first half started with a rush that showed teams were well matched. Gun for Hampton scored first with a shot. McNeich followed with a field goal. Jule Shaw starred next scored a beautiful field goal and made the score 3 to 2 in Hampton's favor. He ducked and twisted his way down the floor again and the score became 4 to 3 in Shaw's favor. Shaw registered another field goal and the score became 6 to 3 in her favor. Things were looking bad for the "Seasiders." Hamptonians were begging for a shot and Hampton rallied. Hargrove started the fireworks with a lightening-like field goal. Shaw was leading by one point—score 6 to 5 in her favor. With a 'bewildering series of passes Hampton worked down the court and McNichols caged the goal that put Hampton in the lead. She was never headed after this, but put up an impenetrable defense and winning offense. Again there was a thrilling exhibition of 'tries' and blocks until Gunn caged another one. The score was now 11 to 6 in favor of the "Beasiders." McNichols' scored a foul shot. Shaw in turn scored one point on a foul. She rallied but was unable to outscore the Hampton quintet. Hampton registered another point on a foul, at the close of the first half. Hampton was 'leading' by a 6-point margin. The score was 13 to 7. In the second half Shaw was unable to break through Hampton's defense for field goals, until very near the end of the game. She became desperate and was staging a "threatening" rally. Substitutions were made but to no avail. Forte scored two field goals for Shaw and ran the score up to 22-14. Shaw's only other scores were made on fouls in this half. McNichols registered a perfect field goal from the center of the floor. Soon after this play the game ended and Hampton was proclaimed victor by a 24 to 14 score. Gymn. Langston. McNichols. Hairgrove and Jones were the outstanding Hampton players. Lyth. Forte and In The of Realm Music By Lucien H.

H. McGINNIS, SKILLED MAKER OF STRING INSTRUMENTS Said to Be the Only Race Firm in This Country Engaged in This Line of Manufacturing. The only business of its kind in Harlem, and probably the only Negro business of its kind in the country, is the firm of McGinnis and Shaw, manufacturers of musical instruments, at 482 Lenox avenue. Here on the second floor at this address Robert H. McGinnis has been working for ten years making and repairing violins, bandolins, mandolin, banjos, cello-banjos and guitar-banjos under his own patents, and his skill in this kind of work has become so well known that he draws his patronage from all parts of Greater New York. Mr. McGinnis is an old type mechanic, who began life in his home town, La Port, Ind., as a carpenter's apprentice. He worked five years without pay learning the trade of carpentry, and at the expiration of this period was sent to another relative in Chicago to he taught cabinet making. From the time he was a child, Mr. McGinnis has been interested in music, and by the time he went to Chicago he could play the piano, guitar, and several other stringed instruments. It was only natural for him to seek employment with a manufacturer of musical instruments after completing his trade. He was fortunate in finding this kind of work with the firm of Lyon and Healy, the largest manufacturers of stringed instruments in the world. His work with this firm proved so satisfactory that he was made a foreman, which position he field for 16 years. A little over ten years ago he came to New York and opened his own business, and has had all the work he could do since he started here. One of his big jobs was the making of the stringed instruments for the Cler' Club, and he now holds the patent on this particular brand of stringed instruments. He is well known by the theatrical people and orchestras and does a lot of repair work for them. Although the firm name is McGinnis & Shaw, Mr. McGinnis bought out his partner eight years ago and has since been the sole proprietor of the business. His friends claim that his biggest achievements has been the perfection of a tenor banjo, said to be the finest, clearest and loudest banjo of any in the world. Battling Siki Outpointed By Jack Taylor in Phila. Philadelphia, Pa.-Jack Taylor of Omaha, Neh, won a decision over battling Siki of France in a ten-round bout here on Christmas Day. Siki was not in the best of condition and weakened toward the end of the fight and held on frequently during the last few rounds of the contest. At the end of the bout Taylor had one of Siki's eyes closed and blood flowing from his mouth. The American fighter Aegrighed 180 pounds and Siki 1771 pounds. A. & T. Preparing For 1923 Basketball Season Greensboro, N. C.—With the close of the football season, attention is being turned in the direction of basketball. Forty-Four candidates have answered to Coach Byarm's call, and it is pronable that before the books close there will be fifty. Six letter men have returned, three of whom fought on the gridiron during the season just closed, "Horse" Lane, Streater and Pitts. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, of Washington, D. C., recently issued an attractive and well written pamphlet relating the development of the company, which after twenty-five years boasts of assets of $750,000, a reserve of $611,592 and a surplus of $100,000, with 125,000 policy holders and $200,000,000 insurance in force. The directors have authorized an increase in the capital to $250,000.

Opening with a Russian group, his program embraces the period ranging from the 18th century to the present day. Rachmanninoff and Borodine are the Russian composers represented; the ambients are sympathetic to Handel; the alloy of the French school; Lane Wilson, Aylward, Walthew of the English; and the race is recognized through the works of Coleridge Taylor, Harry T.

Nearly one hundred patrons and patronesses for the recital include a number of most prominent citizens of New Jersey of both races, and the indications are that Mr. Lamb will be greeted by a large audience. Roland Hayes, tenor, whose appearance at Town Hall on December 1, was greeted by an audience that taxed the capacity of that auditorium and whose vocalistic triumph was of the most unusual quality, comes again to that concert stage under the Town Hall Management in a recital on Thursday, January 3, at 8:15 p.m. Since singing in New York, Mr. Hayes has sung in recital at Symphony Hall, Boston, and in conjunction with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, both affairs emphasizing the fact that this young Negro singer has developed into one of the world's finest artists.
