Inspector THOMAS MEDONALD Burglars Pay Visit To Boutte Pharmacy, Getting $500 in Goods and Money Sometime after midnight of Wednesday, February 11 the Boutte Pharmacy 2339 Seventh avenue corner 137th street Dr M M Boutte proprietor, was visited by theres who jimmed their way through a cellar door and then jimmed a trap door sufficient to gain entrance to the main floor of the drug store after which they helped themselves to goods and money installing in the neighborhood of $500 to $600. The proprietor and his clerks were in the store until 12:30 a m and a report from police officers indicate that at 2:30 a m everything was all right. Smith inferred that the robbers must have committed the act shortly after the latter hour as a passing officer noticed at a later hour the unusual circumstances at there being a light in the area.

According to the testimony given by Police Inspector Thomas McDonald of the Third Inspection District, which includes the Harlem section, one of the principal reasons why the bootlegging gentry enjoy such unhampered and unrestrained activity in pursuit of their illegal operations is that the Federal authorities were unable to cooperate adequately in handling violations of the Volstead law. The body secured by the thieves consisted of about $20 in cash left in a car or the prescription counter $1 in small change stamp money left in the cash register and about $500 in merchandise. No trace of the robbers, other than a brand new jumbo used in forcing the trap, which was left behind has been unbound by officers of the Police Department.

It is pointed out also that some of the harems operated in the Negro section of the town shrewd and unscrupulous, stepping couples use discreet attention to allied cense and impersonal formality.

Doors were opened, safes were unlocked, and keys surrendered with mocking willingness and jeering grace, and in some instances, after the "business" part of the raid was over, a "friendly" bottle was found in somebody's convenient hip pocket and a sociabla drink all round was had. The names of the two agents referred to, who were alleged to have made the rounds and passed the tip to bootleggers of the impending raid, are-age in possession of the Age, and the warning is again passed on to them, and to all others concerned, that the names will be given to the public without further delay if a similar activity on their part is heard of.

Industrial opportunities in less congested communities than the larger cities of the North, East and West were told of by J J Burnell of 612 Clinton street, Elimira, N. Y., who is employed as a machinist in the round house shops of the Lackawanna Railroad Company in that city. Mr Burnell was in New York City this week, and in an interview given a representative of The Age, stated that from 500 to 800 colored men in Elmira were employed in the various industrial plants of that city, including the La-France Eng Co., builders of most of the fire engines said in America; the Kennedy Valve Co., the Willis-Mortrow Co., and the American Bridge Works. In these plants, said Mr. Burnell, a large proportion of the colored men are doing skilled work as boiler makers, lathe hands, machinists, molders, engine watchers, pattern makers, pipe fiters, etc., each group having also a corps of semi-skilled helpers. In addition, there is a large number employed at ordinary labor. There is no distinction in the scale of wages Doors Open to Others In company with Mr Burnell at the time of the interview was Flourmoy Jefferson of 100 West 139th street, who was, from July, 1922, to July, 1923, employed in the Lackawanna round house as a boiler maker. He substantiated the statement made by Mr Burnell, and added that he had been told by officials of other plants in Elmira that the doors of their plants would always be open to competent dependable colored labor. Mr Burnell said that the Rev J R Flack, pastor of the Douglass Memorial A M E Zion Church, was planning with him a way by which openings in the Elmira industrial plants could be made known to prospective migrants able to fill the prospective positions. This proposition, he said, was in line with the suggestion made by The Age in its issue of January 19 that the National Urban League and other welfare agencies should take the initiative in bringing about a wise distribution of the new workers migrating from the south. There are from 1,500 to 2,000 colored residents of Elmira said Mr. Burnell and most of them who have been there more than a few months are owners of their homes Wayne Pa. Miss E.

Whitehead Dead At His Ashbury Park Home Ashbury Park, N. J.—Rev. Boson Whitehead, 79 years, well known resident of THE NEW YORK TIMES Assury Park, N. J., assistant pastor of Mt. Pasky Baptist Temple, departed this life February 12. at his home, the Whitehead House, 25 Atkins avenue. Mr Whitehead was born in Newbern, N. C., in 1844. At the age of 18 years he followed the Union Army in the Civil War, serving in the 9th New York Regiment until the close of the war. Upon his discharge from the army, he settled in Elizabeth, N. J., and in 1870 married Miss Louisa Boyer, who survives him For forty-seven years Mr Whitehead served as a messenger to the Bank of America, New York City, and upon his retirement in September, 1918, a test(monia) was rendered him by that institution. In token of their appreciation for his long and honorable services, the officers and directors of the bank, presented him with a valuable gold watch and in addition pensioned him Mr Whitehead's grasp of the details committed to him by the bank was wonderful. He enjoyed the distinction of being the most trusted employee in the messenger service in the banks of the State of New York. In Elizabeth Mr Whitehead received his license to preach and organized what is now known as Union Church joining of that city. In 1915 Rev Whitehead united with Mt Pisgah Baptist Temple of Ashur Park as a licentate. The pastor noting his serling qualities at once sought to have him become an assistant pastor, which was done. In 1918 he was regularly ordained to the gospel ministry and enjoyed all of the functions pertaining to reteto excerpting baptising which was deferred because of his lowered physical strength. Rev Whitehead organized and at the time of his death was president of the West Park Reality Company a cooperative association of Ashur Park NJ with a apprentice stock of $1000 a great part of which has been subscribed to and paid into its treasury. His funeral was from Mr Pisgall Baptist Temple on February 15. The church was filled with overflowing by sorrowing friends among whom were five representatives of the Bank of America Floral tributes were many and beautiful. The services under the direction of Rev E. D Crawley, pastor of the church were characterized by a sense of sincerity and deep feeling in appreciation of the noble qualities of Mr. Whitehead and a cognizance of the sacred place his departure has caused. Interment was made in Mr. Presper Cemetery. Funeral service of E. Leone Harra and charge of burial arrangements. Jacksonville Mfg. Co. Buys $10,000 Building Jackness, J. La.

Woodin and York are white, but a dispatch from Abredeen, Miss, tells of another story of heroism, of brave and unselfish service wrapped up in two black skins. The story goes that a man, his wife and 10 months' old baby were in an automobile truck packed with their belongings, which they were moving to a new home and when they reached the James Creek Canal the driver lost control of the car and it plunged into the water waters with all on board. The day, it is said, was bitterly cold, with the temperature far below the freezing point, and it seemed that the father, mother and child would all drown and the waters close over them. Without help there was no chance to survive Two Negroes-Ed Jones and William Drake—happened to be walking down the road and without hesitation these men plunged into the stream and affected the rescue of the three struggling forms in the water, who were then brought to Aberdeen and given attention. This is all. The account ended here. I don't know what, if anything was done for the Negroes, or if anybody praised them. I am sure they have not been decorated for bravery and were not met with brass bands and offers of entertainment The names of these Negroes will probably never again be in the papers. They did not kill anybody—they saved somebody. No commander ordered them to do what they did, and nobody was there to look on except the helpless trio in the swirling waters. But God looked down upon what these obscure Negroes did, and Christ was near them when they, risked their own lives to save the lives of others. It won't do my friends for us to hate or wrong a race that can furnish heroes like this. It won't do not give it a chance not to help and encourage it. Ed Jones and William Drake are black only outside they are all white within. Their art was as fine as any that may be found in any tale which has been told of hero service. Ed Jones and William Drake have hearts of gold. They are gentlemen by right of what they did. Their titles are clear to respect and honor—Ex Governor M R Patterson in Memphis Commercial Appeal AGENTS WANTED for The B M FORD SYSTEM OF BEAUTY CULTURE Why have short hair and a saloon pleasure when only a few treatments of B.

Thousands injured for life and many dead, is the sentence you would expect to read beneath such a lurid headline. The appalling statement at the beginning of this article is only too true, but the catastrophe is not the result of an explosion This is the explosion of an idea, a fancy held by far too many—that Negroes all have good teeth, beautiful teeth, excellent teeth. In some ways, somehow we have earned a reputation for having unusually fine teeth and many of us have—who take good care of them. Within the past few months it has been my privilege, in cooperation with my assistants, to make physical examinations of nearly 3,000 young men and women, the flower of our race. As part of this examination, we make a careful inspection of the teeth and the revelation was shocking. Please catch the significance of this statement. We examined young men and women, not old men and women. How unhappy is the future outlook for these young people, unless they at once put themselves under care of a dentist and remain under his supervision until the end of life's span. Roanoke, Va.

Plainfield, N J.—Our hats are off again to the Athenians for their almost perfect 'game played on Saengerbund Hall on Lincoln's Birthday. Their opponents were the Philadelphia Flashes, and believe me, those little Flashes should be termed little hornets, as they can all shoot with unusual accuracy. Four of them are the Lynch brothers. The score of the game was 51-37 in favor of our boys. The game was clean throughout and Hayes Lambert, the Old Reliable, was in great form. Ted Hooper, Cyril Lambert and Jesse Smith also contributed their share to the victory, Little Bobbie Martin, the club mascot, did his usual stunt of attempting to shoot a goal with the ball almost as large as himself. He added another stunt, the Charleston Strut, which was much enjoyed by the spectators. The Athenians play the Orients at the same hall on Washington's Birthday Followers of the team are urged to be on hand to cheer them to victory.

J.—The members and friends of the 11th Avenue Church took advantage of the delightful weather last Sunday morning and came for the church in large numbers. Dr. Ellerson, the pastor, had just returned from Princeton where he conducted a week's evangelistic services in the Witherapoon Street Church. The sermon was from the text. "They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength." The pastor showed that every living institution or organization needed from time to time to be renewed and reinvigorated, the church is no exception in needing a renewal of strength from time to time, and that the best ways of "waiting on the Lord" were through prayer, faith and service. The sermon was a splendid back ground for the preparatory work for the evangelistic campaign. Special features of the evening service were the beautiful selections by the male and (female choruses of the senior choir. With Mrs. Ruth Ridley directing, and Mrs. Elsie Coleman at the organ, the music is of an unusually pleasing character. Encouraging reports are coming in from the cottage "prayer stations" which the pastor has appointed among the membership of the church. These prayer meetings give promise of unmeasured help to the revival services which will begin March 11 and continue through the 23rd. The pastor and officers of the church are pleased at the hearty response which the members and friends of the church, are making in the "Clean up" effort. The Friday night in each month has been set apart as "social evening" for the men of the church. Every man of the church is urged to be present Friday night, February 29. The first Sunday in March will be the next regular communion service for this church the order of the communion services having been changed to every two months instead of every three months as heretofore Members and friends of the church are requested to purchase copies of The New York Age each week from Miss Mildred Brown: 80 Wykley's street and keep abreast with the news and activity of the church.

SECRETARY Defined by Judge T C T Crain of Court of General Sessions. New York City. It was a matter of public concern that the executive secretary of an institution like the Y M A should be a man of character and a regious man. The sense of the word and likewise that he should be a man of good reputation. A good character produced good reputation. Good reputation and good reputation was the result of good character. A good reputation was a title was the result of a bad character. It sometimes happened that those who were unlawful nevertheless had good reputations and it became a hopeful penel that those who were wrong were the easiest unlawful ones had bad reputations. It was meant by the public the success of the work of the Y M A. Harring in the case of the executive secretary that the thing should be made that it there would be the possess in a good character by the executive secretary, but that he would also have the reputation that such a good character deserves name's a good reputation. I therefore be amused at public in- cern that the character of the one occupying that position should be known and genera- ly approach the committee which the instu- tion exerted. One thing such a position was not the same station as a man in ordinary public life. There was a wider latitude with more comments which might be made upon the state and the character such a state and thease where one is pursuing a strict and pright calling. CONFIDENCE IN COOLIDGE An enthusiast, admirer of President Coolidge in a personal letter to the editor of The Age takes the latter task as seemingly to be like a troubling Thomas in his views, in writing the present administration. For our cause and our purpose he submitted the following from an uncredited source: It is very well and as a merited and atter-prepared to date the exvoted tur is in the name from the heart of the heartly sympa that is expressed. But it is not at all that would stand the test of present. Mr. M. is the scientist is the sax correspondence about the alliance as ally and a friend to the resident. Could he be a representative of the administration, the trust grant and veteran, or a state-backed largely sect. But there is a legal matter in and injustice in the blister service under the law. He will exist and affect the lives of our population. We expect him to the President will abate this issue equally in the great interest. The preserve of And trust glaze illum the Pres ANOTHER SIDE-OF ROOSEVELT. A generation or more ago, James Gordon Bennett, the proprietor of the New York Herald, sent a correspondent to the interior of Africa to discover the fate of David Livingstone, the explorer, from whom no word had been received for an alarming length of time. Stanley was successful in his quest and afterwards set up as an explorer on his own hook. Mr Frank A. Munsey, present proprietor of the Herald, fired by equal zeal for discovery and exploitation, has undertaken the publication of the personal letters of the late Major Archie Butt, who was military aide to President Roosevelt. These letters were chatty and intimate in tone and throw additional light on the personal characteristics of President Roosevelt and the members of his household An interesting aftermath of the lunch episode in which Dr Booker T Washington figured at the White House, was given in one of these letters, as follows When the President came into his office this morning there were several Incense Swingers waiting for him, I being one among them, and I fear I am getting to be "of them," too. He was in a good humor, but he usually is in the morning. He says that the normal time for a normal man to be in a good humor is the morning and if he is not it is a sign that he is a heavy drinker or else possesses an abnormally bad temper if not a perverse one. He looked over his list of engagements and read them aloud. As he came to "12 30—Dr Booker T Washington," he looked up and, with that quizzical smile of his said "How fortunate for you Archie that it is not 130 I might add that it is equally fortunate for me. The last time this distinguished citizen was here it was nearer 130 and I did not know for some time after whether I would be quartered or hung." Major Butt was from Georgia which would account for the President's expression as to the hour being fortunate, in that it preceded luncheon. It may be doubted also if the President was anxious to repeat his former courtesy to Dr Washington in the face of the clamor of the South Another incident in which Dr. Washington's name was introduced by the writer of these letters was the laying of the cornerstone of the Young Men's Christian Association on Twelfth street, Washington. The President was to speak on this occasion but had decided not to take an aide with him. Major Butt thought this would be a mistake, so he proceeded to act as if he had not received the President's message and went to his office, where the following conversation occurred "Mr. President you have an engagement for this afternoon. Yes," said he "but I sent you word that I would not need an aide, didn't Mr. Foster tell you?" "Yes Mr. President, but I think you should take one for these colored men know that you usually are accompanied by an aide on such occasions, and I you do not have one now I fear they will think there is some discrimination against them. That is true and I had not the right to in that night I will ask you to accompany me and let us work our best. I repeat this for it gives a new right on his character. I left his office feeling that he had more subordinates around him that we had mind making suggestions to him even though they were counter to his preconceived notion. In night have made even fewer mistakes than he has made before now. He remembered him when speaking and his order to leave the room. We leave from the page at the end. Giving out to the senators Mr. Ickle and to the President that he had sent me a letter and he and Mr. Forster thought he might have a little more ginger into it. I saw what he meant when I heard the speech but I did not jacked ginger. It was a very cleverly wounded letter to the Negroes. I kept it and a word to the whites to help them. It did not matter that there was nothing in it to note the Negroes to him as a second Savior and nothing to offer of the white sentiment to the Negroes to the country. I am glad that we made me the Negroes and that I gave him a game and a ginger in the house and that he deserved it. I confessed it swindled better than the thought it would and that he excelled in the game. The President then said that it was important amusing The warrant must say something about the Enterprise's Health Amendments and the employment a lot do so or to advise standing in the Plan and the area or use that. we are closely to the truth and going offence to the south is well as to West ington. Mark Rutt's report is correct. It shows that the founder and kegee let his own opportunity to secure an aftermath of equality of citizenship in the race which he represents! AN UNNECESSARY RESTRICTION AN UNNECESSARY RESTRICTION The vast opportunities for graft are related by an organization like the Kirkle Klan the organizer of which is William Joseph Smith the three imperial wizard are porters the right to oversee and the left to assist in the execution of the order enter the field. The New York Times is on February 15 that it reports at the time that the organization has 350 posts and over that he summaries the fact that the organization is in the fast track to the final decision. tised so openly. It looks as if the organizers counted on that restriction as a sort of drawing card, although they claim in the same paragraph that the order is "non-sectarian, non-political, fraternal, social and benevolent." It is also stated that "Helpfulness is the keynote of the order." As an inducement to join the Owls now, it is stipulated that there shall be "No medical examination" and "No goat riding" for charter members. This appeal to the lower instincts of mankind is made "Charter members don't ride the goat in the Order of Owls. The men who do ride are the later comers, the fellows who had the chance to be charter members, but waited too long. It's fun for charter member to the other fellows get all they deserve." The North Carolina editor who sized up the ordinary members of the Ku Klux Klan as men of inferior intellect, who were induced to join by the mystery and distinction it afforded them and then became the tools of unscrupulous leaders, evidently knew what he was talking about. The members gained for the Owls may be a grade above the moron in intellect, but they will give up good money to get a supposed undue advantage over their fellows, without wondering why an organization claiming to have 2,500 locals seeks more charter members The Negro race in the United States is so simply provided with secret societies and beneficial organizations, as to be able to ignore any such dubious proposition as the Owl organizers present. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, the regular organization in America and the West Indies, is affiliated with the English order to the meetings of which it sends a fraternal delegate. It was introduced here by Peter Ogden, a ship's steward, nearly a century ago. The white Odd Fellows in America constitute an independent order. There are various degrees of colored Masonic orders mostly derived from French sources. Knights of Pythias Elks Woodmen of the World and other well known orders besides such beneficial organizations as the True Reformers, Galtean Fishermen Order of St Luke and others of more portentous titles in an unlimited extent WHAT CONFERENCE SHOULD BE In discussing the next general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Christian Recorder, the venerable official organ of that denomination tells what such a gathering should be. It said decidedly that it must have brains and soul. "It must not be a well oiled machine, a material thing, set in order and run by some other force. Each delegate must have and use his brains, and his soul must be alive with what God wants alone." Editor Wright went on further to say that the best composite thinking of the race ought to be done at the general converse. The delegates should not be led away by the emotion of the moment or by the prejudice of section or party. Their actions should be the result of clear thinking and mature judgment after the facts are in. It is also significant and tallies with the course that the Age has urged in dealing with such matters regardless of the circumstances solved. It is passing the fitting of the general of the church the conference the likes order ent the greatest care in their selection of men and loyalty in the union of the edifior should count most killing these. He especially emphasized the importance of the office of missionary secretary which is located in New York. This position was well trained, ascertained and secured with the church with a true missionary visiing the position of such extensive secretary it was required that the rest intelligent in resourceful be usable in a good business be able to extend the In declaring Dr. Crossland not the man for hospital service, the Kansas City Call said he "has not earned a reputation as a peacemaker and is therefore unfitted for any place in the personnel of a hospital devoted to the treatment of patients afflicted with nervous diseases." And this is a voice from the Doctor's home State. The St Luke Herald which has been such a Richmond booster heretofore was forced, out of sheer duty and community pride, to this adverse criticism of its home town There has been a lack of artistic taste and appreciation in colored Richmond for several years during the past observations of this paper. There seems to be an unusual shallowness in the stream of culture of our boasted capital of Confederacy. Artistic appreciation and deep thinking are among some of our most favored rarities. Recently a great Northern educator was invited to Richmond to address the "cream" of Virginia intelligence (Only a handful of the "socalled best people" attended the auditorium in which the educator delivered his masterful lecture. But at night a dance was arranged by the social committee of Richmond's best. To this brilliant affair trooped the whole of the "cream" of Richmond. There was not standing room for the elite of society. Here to the sound of the howling jazz hounds, the measured slide of the fantastic toe the mean of the wind instruments and strung Orphie boxes, Richmond's cream at society and intelligence fluttered like butterflies. After this sort of pleasure had gone far into the night the Northern educator was called upon to give an after dinner talk. He spoke and said. Ladies and gentlemen after having been up the night before in order to be here to day to address you and after having quite used myself up in my lecture I thought of not attending your social feature tonight. But if I had not attended your dance I would not have known you. There was a little utter at this rather questionable component. I think if he had not attended the eating and dancing feature he would not have met Richmond's intelligent set. Under the head of Mutual Admiration Societies the Pittsburgh Amies印 printed an editorial emphasizing the need of intensive economic organization among the race. It said. A small percentage of Negroes are above the wage and want. Many of these constitute mutual admiration societies of the race in various American communities. They enjoy a comfortable living, have a roof of their own overhead, a nice bed to sleep in, a mast in the pat and have other things that make life worth while them. But they wear their clothes. The Negro America is living to below the poverty line. But it cannot bar bad news from its columns without failing to be a newspaper, so long as the people think evil a thing is worth talking about After all this is not entirely a situation to be condemned A celebrated editor once said, "It is no news that a dog bites a man, but it is news that a man bites a dog" The very fact that people talk about evil with so much avidity, is equivalent to an admission that evil is news, in the sense that it is extraordinary, that it is not the usual order of things That means that good is still in the majority and triumphant. Our critics are right, but we cannot any more withhold the news, than civilization can stamp out the effects of original sin This is all true, but it does not answer the criticism as to the policy of featuring crime and criminals as the prevailing features of a publication LINCOLN By Matthew Kohosoff In The New York Call Lamino would have been just as great even if he were not President. But God alone would have known it" —Leo Tolstoy The world while perpetually remembering and cullogizing the great geniuses that are dead, constantly abuses great men while they live. Socrates, giant of human thought, has created a world of thinkers and continues to enlarge the human understanding. He was poisoned by the deadly hemlock for no other reason than that he would put stimulating questions to the multitude with the object of making them think. That was crucified because He, too, was an agitator—this questions to the multitude were also stimulating—His object was to make them think. He that hates eyes to see let him see. To a question how to gain life He said. He shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you tree. And when He was led to the crucifixion He passed and asked that His tormentors be forgiven. For they know not what they do. Christ was and is to this day misunderstood. Yet a world is wishing Him We know how many great souls in the old Russian regime alone suffered death. Yet it is safe to say that in every country in the face of the place where arrogance and ignorance existed, the ruling powers, not judged and maleated their great men and get uses. Lincoln's fate would perhaps have been the same as that of John Brown for he too was an agitator and stimulator of imperishable thought. But for him Providence mapped out a more fortunate destiny. It chose him as the chief executive of a big nation. I gave him power, directly and indirectly. Go" said Providence and show the world what one can do when Integrity, Truth and Fraternity are the directing agencies" And he did. Some gladly listened to him, others were obliged to listen to him. They could not treat him, legally, even as to Christ a Socrates, or a John Brown. What great thoughts Lincoln had in mind for malgate had not the urtimate war been forced upon him with the pleadings with the Southern slave owners to a war they tried to ease the impending tass.

"SERVING OTHERS." There are fifty-four convicted colored men in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, convicted by the United States War Department for the rioting at Houston, Texas. for which they were convicted. An organization known as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been serving the cause of those people in a relentless effort to free them of the charges Mass meetings have been held throughout the entire country and an unceaseless volume of propaganda has gone forth in that spirit of SERVING—serving the cause of humanity. There are among us a few who have been martyred for this very cause of "SERVING OTHERS." The price paid for "SERVING OTHERS" is not only that of money, but that of life itself—And those who have been chosen and elected to serve others have ever paid and must eternally pay the price in blood and money. In the cause of "SERVING OTHERS" a great number of us leave our homes and journey to halls, auditoriums and to various other callings and places, sometimes unconscious of the great SERVICE which we are rendering. In the final analysis there can be nothing more noble than that of SERVING our fellowmen—Serving them in the manner such as above recited. So, all through our human relations, our greatest task is that of "SERVING OTHERS." In our attempt to establish and perpetuate what shall hereafter be known as the COLORED AMERICAN RETAIL COMPANY, Inc., we shall dedicate our sincere efforts to that most noble task—"SERVING OTHERS." Our first department store, with its purpose as above recited, will be opened March 1st, 1924, in the Renaissance Casino Building, 138th Street and Seventh Avenue, New York City "We Have A Special Purpose To Serve."

An invitation is extended to all the friends of St. David's to worship with us at a church where a real Church Home welcome is awaiting. First Emmanuel Church At the communion service on Sunday morning, Pastor Bolden preached from the text, "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same, that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."—Hebrews 2:14-15. Pastor Bolden said: Jesus Christ, our Lord of Life and Emmanuel, delivers us from the fear of death. There is one thing certain today, and that is that death makes no distinction, it has no friends. It is not a wise thing for people to play with or flirt with death. Much thought should be given today to immortality. We should be interested in spirit life and immortal life. There is such a thing as immortality. Each individual has an immortal life. Death should have no horror for Christians. In fact it does not, as Christ suffered and went through death, and through Him they have no fear. We should all hope for, and strive toward immortality. We shall be immortal, and when we pass out of this chemical, physical body we shall be like Paul said. "We shall have a building, a tabernacle, not made with hands, but' eternal in the heavens." We shall be changed. We shall have a body such as Christ Himself had after His resurrection. An immortal body that never dies, but lives on eternally. Let us strive for this, taking as our leader, Jesus Christ our Emmanuel. The Sunday-school was opened at the usual hour by Superintendent Hogans. At the close of the lesson study Rev. Bolden awarded the prizes to the students who were so the oration contest. Those who received the prizes were Cornelia Hogans. 1st prize, Kenneth Bough. 2nd prize, and Alfredia Wigg. 3rd prize.

William E. Townsend sang "My Task," and a solo was rendered by Misa Theresa V. Greene. A trio, "O Holy, Night," was sung by Miss Greene, Mrs. Townsend and Ernest Ballon. Rush Memorial Church. "The Selling of the Birthright" was the subject on which the pastor, Dr. Oliver, preached last Sunday morning. This subject was founded on the text taken from Hebrew 12 16. The speaker compared the selling of the birthright in Bible days to the manner in which people of modern days give up their rights or for some mere trifling, sell that which should be near and dear to them. People of today sometimes sell their privileges in a community for a little gold, and after this disappears, they have nothing to show for what really belonged to them. In the afternoon Dr. Oliver and his congregation worshipped with the pastor and members of Fleet Street Church, Brooklyn Dr. Oliver preached the communion sermon, subject, "The Blood of Jesus Christ". In the evening Rev W M Cholmondeley of the P E.

Rev Perry preached on "Christ the Divine Teacher," the scriptural passage being the Sermon on the Mount. In a convining manner he showed how simple yet comprehensive were the methods of this Great Teacher and closed with the thought that until we realize and accept the standa'd set in this great sermon there can be no end to strife and suffering.

Moore introduced Colonel Arthur Little who on behalf of the Progressive Club presented Sissle and Blake with a silver cup trophy as a token of appreciation for their services in arranging the benefit.

BERNARD YOUNG, Jr. Hampton, Va.—A bunch of gungy, and confident basketeers journeyed from Morehouse College with the confidence born of many recent victories, met a shock, recovered, and after one of the game's fights witnessed at Hampton, finally won the game in the last few minutes of play by the score of 34-27. Hampton began the game with a rush that took Morehouse by surprise and gained them a 9 point lead when the first half ended, the score being 18 to 9. But with such unconquerable spirit did Morehouse begin the second, half that things began to look globby, Sykes, Taylor, Gayle and Clark scored field goals in the order named and immediately ran the score to 18-17, and then forged into the load—19 to 18 in Morehouse's favor. Here it was that excitement ran wild and the shouts of the spectators fairly shook the Hampton Institute gymnasium. Hargrove came through with one of his uncanny shots, putting Hampton in the lead—score 20-19. From 20-19 the score changed to 20-20; Gunn dropped in a free-throw and the score became 20-21 for Hampton; Hargrove sank a shot and the score ran to 23-20. Morehouse, however, was not to be denied. Taylor dropped in a free throw and then a shot tying the score to 23-23. With about six minutes to play the score changed to 25-23 in favor of Morehouse. Then came scores of 26-23, 28-23, and 30-24, by way of shots by Sykes and Taylor, and a free-throw by Gunn. Gayle then rang in one point, running the score to 32-24. Hampton was raying but the time was short. Gunn sank a free throw and this was followed by one of the prettiest shots of the game—a shot by McNichols that touched neither backboard nor ring. This was Hampton's last shot, and it was followed by a field goal by Taylor of Morehouse as the game ended with final score at 34 to 27. Thus Hampton lost one of the most spectacular games of her career I.-C.

The patron has no option when a contract has been construed, but to take what is offered for sale. And the musician takes for granted that the patron cares more for spectacular prices than for good high standard services. Hence the inumerable band of MUSICIANS, ORCHHESTRAS and ENTERTAINERS FURNISHED to, all OCCASIONS. Result: when the combination is not intact, the patron, on the next occasion, looks up another contractor. The Singers' and Players' Exchange—based rather upon a love of truly artistic service than upon any desire to make money solely takes up the task of developing tunes in a high standard. MUSICAL SERVICE, by a square deal to the PATRON. Everybody knows that promoting must live if Art is to live. Everybody knows that if the singer or player does not pay for promoting, somebody else must or the work cannot go on. Despite this practical obvious fact, the artists have little interest in promoting. The singer or player tends to demand a high standard of pay for a low standard of service, and points out that the promoter is creating harvest groups and figures are set down, paying no regard to overhead cost of production. There is a deep feeling among many American musicians that the business of promoting should not be paid for. This feeling is based on the ancient idea of an equal division of tips, or anything someone condescends to give them, and on a dream that management should rise above paltry consideration of fair profit. In the season of late 1917 and early in 1918, the writer contracted for $7,000 worth of business, and paid out $2,000 to the combinations, giving a balance of $5,000 to apply on account of a total overhead of $11,000, leaving a deficit of $6,000 which the writer had to provide for All this is wrong, it is miserably wrong. It is warning away exactly the type of men who who deserve that an other artist must obtain the right to an American musician to universal recognition. If presenting is honorable, then pay is honorable. Artists need be reminded that promoters are necessary to development. PULLMAN PORTER NEWS BY JAMES H. HOGANS Every once and awhile there comes to our town from the city of Boston some object or character of unusual significance and ability along a given line. Whenever these visits are made we are always more than likely to be entertained and impressed by the visitors. Sometimes, they represent the business world, other times they are of the professional or artistic class, not in frequently they typify the social graces. But it's inmaterial which group they denote; the results are the same, their appearance in our midst means A B C—Ability, Breeding, Class. Therefore, with this reputation at stake, we may look forward to an eveing of pleasure and entertainment on Wednesday February 28, when the Human Porter's Band of the Boss District, makes its debut in our city at New Star Casino, 10th street and Lexington avenue. About three years ago, the Pullman Company conceived the idea of organizing in each one of its principal districts a *Pullman Porters Band and Orchestra*, whose personnel would consist of the porters who ran in and out of that particular district to organize these musical bodies among the porters of Major N. Clark Smith, a musical instructor of ability to instruct the men who were musically inclined and who desired to join these organizations, in the elementary principles of orchestra and band music. Under Major Clark's supervision and instruction these bands and orchestras were duly organized. Since that time some of them have progressed to rapidly and efficient playing that they are now able to make concert tours notably among them being the bands of the Chicago, Sunnyside and Boston district. We understand that the Boston aggregation is comprised of fifty pieces, and they are so good that they have several times played for radio broadcasting in Boston. If that be true, its quite obvious why they are ambitious to show their wares. Along with the band, they are featuring in song H S Boatner, one of our young and promising baritones. From all reports music lovers should not miss this entertainment. Information regarding admission, boxes and luges will be found elsewhere in this paper.

"Clippings of Poems" Among a stack of little home-made books that I made and composed is found one that I treasure most, "Clippings of Poems." This book is composed of various poems clipped from magazines and newspapers. I remember vividly the day I decided to save all the nice poems I read. It was in May 1916. I purchased a five cent composition book. Across the front cover I engraved, "CLIPPINGS OF POEMS." I had been saving poems for some time and of thought I had enough to fill out half the book, but, when at last I finished "pasting the poems in, to my surprise I found only four pages had been covered. After months, and even years of "pasting another poem in," I found last year my book was at last completed. In this little home-made book is found various kinds of poems including those that are humorous, full of sympathy, romantic, thrilling, etc. The authors are of many nationalities. My favorite is Thomas Jefferson Flanagan, whose articles I clipped from "The Atlanta Independent." His poems are as a rule, about the Sunny Southland, and to read them gives one a feeling of the poems of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Next week I shall finish "Clippings of Poems" with an article about "Thomas Jefferson Flanagan and His Works." ("Note-for sometime I shall run a series of articles on "My Books" Comment and criticism are invited") DFAR GIRLS . This is the first letter in the New Year which I have written to the column and I hope to follow up by a letter. I hope to follow up by the following lines quite timely: HEAVEN'S RADIO Ernest A. Chapman There's a powerful radio station Somewhere in the skies I know. And it's sending out a message To us mortals here below. But some cfolks have never heard it. Though they have a costly set, And they have missed the grandest program That was ever broadcast yet. There's the sweetest music wafted From this Heavenly radio. And the great and mighty Preacher From whose lips the blessings flow. We are lifted up in our hearts, such great words of love. What we fit content and listen To that wonderful Voice above. Now if you wish to listen in When angles start to sing. And hear the hosts of Heaven Giving praises to the King. You must tune for higher wave lengths And from lower ones depart. Place your aerial wires up higher And keep humble in your heart. But perhaps you still are keeping That old hard and stony heart, And that is just the reason why You heard not at the start You should take that heart to Jesus And He will give you one that's new, Then when Heaven's band is playing you can heart sweet music, too. "Lotus Blossom" and "Smiles," I am looking forward to a visit from you real soon. The Wonder Girls are quite active in basketball. They already have won two games (out of two games which they played). They are going to play two more games this week. I think this is their first real season. I'll have to run along now. DEAREST SISTERS This is my second letter on 'Practical Psychology' by Mrs. Harriet Luella McCollium. HOW TO QUIT WORRYING. When my son went to Cuba, there was a sugar shortage in that country, and a man committed suicide because he lost $3,000,000. Just think of Do you know you lost 3,000,000 opportunities? Opportunity is right around us. It isn't what we want, but how we take those affects us. Did you ever stop to think what worrying duest? It stops vitality, it runs health, says thinking powers. It takes away life. If a bank was started here in the Oranges and it made no promises to pay interest, or give any dividends, and every eighth night you would put a portion of your salary in it people would soon say, 'Why, he is tooilish to patronize such a bank?' But do you know you are putting your worries into a Worry Bank? It pays no interest or dividends. Some people spend their entire lives worrying Why worry Psychological worry is an idea in which we form ourselves Back of every worry there is a fear, back of fear a wish There is a feeling of interiority I want, I can I fail I can makes it, thereby Fixed ideas control our lives Fixed ideas are seen in a child of seven years, because he definite at the age of fourteen years. The child has no prospective, feel it the moon is made of cheese, tell it an kinds of things and it will believe you (they have no ability to modify) I live in a governed by a fixed idea, that is foolish. You will go to eternity with these ideas. As a man thinkin' of his heart so he will. Watch idea. You say anything in the presence of a child that you do want to care for. Your other worries are live. I desire Some one says, I have to worry. I just lost some of my defenses. The loss in desire killed you that of the self could hear these to you. There are two types of things one you can help and one you can't. Then you can help it do it, if you can't who worry? Put your mind on something worth while for a race service. I thank you. F1A-a-PAT Bodily Resistance—What Is It? If a city is menaced by an enemy, the army would be called out to save the inhabitants. The army would fly to the point of attack and give battle. Meanwhile, the people would rush food supplies to their defenders and give them every possible aid. The enemies of our bodies are called germs. A million or more could be thrown against our walls (into our faces) by some one's rude sneeze or cough. To be sure, there are many barriers erected: our akin, the little "hair-trap" in the-mostrils, the mouth, etc. While these are good barriers, they cannot do much more than hold back the enemy for a short time. A partisan tugly and angering enemy (or weirulent infection or virulent germs) will get through and head for that delicate tissue, the lungs, or for the blood stream itself. Then the real battle begins. The blood is the army, and if it be a good, healthy, well-fed army, it is going to kill off the invading foe and the body will not succumb to the disease. Take the ring of inflammation around a cut. What is it? It is the front line of defense--blood concentrated at the point of danger! Disease is the occurrence of our bodies by a victim in the enemy which comes about by the blood is either buoyed by surprise or is of poor quality, "wreak" and unhealthy. Upon healthy or unhealthy blood depends "bodily resistance." How do we build up a healthy blood and thereby have good resistance? By giving it proper foods, such as fresh air, a mixed diet of vegetables, fruits, fat foods and meat foods (meat, milk, fish, eggs, etc.). Also give your body plenty of rest. This gives your blood time to more completely purify itself. Cleanliness and exercise influence these forces also. Worcester, Mass. Worcester, Mass.—The N. A. C.

Such acts of carelessness are responsible for fires and endanger lives and property. Garbage and refuse should be ready for janitors at regular hours.

A barracks has been erected from lumber donated by the community and being used as temporary quarters. The girls are attempting to carry on as many activities as possible. Cramped for space and handicapped by the lack of books and typewriters, they are still struggling to continue their Association courses. The people of those two cities were very generous in their support the work before the earthquake but now they are, themselves, destitute so that the Nine Year Olds C, A with as headquarters in this city, must assume the responsibility for the work of rehabilitation. American people are conspicuously generous to countries in distress and colored Americans no less than white. It is to this spirit of generosity that the National Board appeals. Some of the members and friends of the Branch have already made small contributions to this work in a desolated country and any others will be received here and forwarded to the National Board. Sunday, February 10, was Race Relations Day and through this Branch speakers were available for the other Branches and Centers in the city. The first request came from the French Branch and was for a speaker who should deliver the address in French. James I. Ifill, a well-known lawyer and the Editor of the magazine "Light" responded to this request and spoke in a most pleasing and interesting fashion. At our own Branch Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes graciously and most capably filled the place of Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, who was unable to be here because of matters at her school which demanded her personal attention. On next Sunday, February 24, Arthur S. Kleman, vice-president of the Manufacturers' Trust Company will speak on the subject, "How to Make Your Savings Work for You." Most of us are interested in the subject of manufacturing, and we are concerned at it. We hope to have Francis Kearson sing for us upon this occasion. The girl who is timid and shy, who finds herself handcapped in her school, business or social life by her difference and her inability to express her thoughts, should join the class in public speaking which meets on every Tuesday from eight to nine. Here in a small informal group she becomes accustomed to talking with others and before others and gradually much of her self-consciousness will slip away. She also learns about matters of social importance which have included her and ignorance of which has contributed largely to this self-consciousness, which is the bugbear of most young girls knowledge of how things should be done gives assurance in the doing of them. The spontaneous spirit of comradeship, which our girls' clubs foster, is also a direct means of developing initiative and self-confidence in girls The whole W. W. C. A., program is, in fact, as its chief aim and purpose the goal of self-expression, happiness and a more abundant Christian life for girls. On the basis of this, we have 13, the jolly "Jolly Juniors" (ages ten to twelve) had a party! A very jolly party! There were games and music and, judging from the shrieks of joy which came even through the closed door of the auditorium, "a good time was had by all." There was pink gelatine with little cakes for refreshment This was a week of parties. The older folks had their's on Friday evening, February 15. The February club was hostess for this Valentine Party and there are attractive decorations, much gaiety and delicious refreshments. Each Calendar Club has a Membership Party on the third Friday of its month and members and their friends are always cordially invited. Keep in mind the next one which comes on March 21. On Monday, February 25, comes the monthly meeting of the Membership Committee. We hope that the attendance will be large for matters of vital interest to the membership and to the Branch are to be discussed. Woman Injured by Fall The recent settlement of a suit in injury terminated very happily for Mme Gavette Johnson the well known milliner and hairdresser, located at 14 West 133d street. Mme Gavette Johnson met with an accident last August by falling into a coal hole where she has her place of business. She retained counsel and they apparently made no headway in her matter. She then retained Abraham Oberstein of 119 Nassau street who was substituted in place of the previous attorney. Mr. Oberstein insisted for a preference and not of the trial for his February, but only has been retained late in December 1924, this was very expedients under the circumstances, and while application for preference was pending the matter has been disposed of the defendant having offered a very large sum in settlement of the case. Mine Gavette John will not disclose the amount of settlement neither will her attorney. The amount it is understood is usually large considering the case. Mine Gavette Johnson in her job missed upon kissing her attorney for the wonderful results he had accomplished for her. REAL NEGRO DOLLS Mmc Allone Doll Mfg Co. ```markdown ``` 2309 7th Avv. New York City Mme. Allone is the originator of the famous Walking and TalkingColored Dollars. Rev. Campbell Replies Editor The New York Age: An article in your paper on February 9, 1924, under the head of "Harmen Preecher Super-By Admirer" did me great injustice. I wish you had called me up and gotten the facts before publishing it. Our newspapers are semi- public institutions. They are published for the people who make it possible to publish them and for the public in general. As jong as the people get the imp pression that they can directly or in- directly hire the press to harm the reputation of public servants or people of prominence, we cannot hope to get the cooperation which we should have to build our people through pulpit and press. The heading, which I presume was written by The Age office, is worse than the article itself. Mrs. Anderson is no admirer of mine. There is nothing in the body and spirit of the article showing that she admires me. 'If she admires me she has a mighty poor way of showing it. Your headline stating that I plan to defraud Mrs. Anderson is grossly untrue. Mrs. Anderson took the initiative herself to buy a home and asked me to help her I only gave the money to Mr. Twitwitzer as she asked me to do. He requires the $130 on contract. When she fell down on contract, instead of suing the man to whom she had me give the money, she sued me. I simply told the court that she was suing the wrong person, and that the man to whom I gave the money on contract for her was there. And the Judge asked him to return the contract money and he did. The statement that I said I did not know Mrs. Anderson is not true. The statement that the Judge sofed me for giving me the money is not true. The statements that summons was served me at a birthday party is untrue. The implication that I attempted to avoid being served is preposteous in view of the fact that I am a public preacher in the city and on the streets of New York every day. The statement that other members of Little Mt Zion loaned their pastor money which he refused to pay is untrue and malicious. Inasmuch as you published the unture statements I wish you would publish the correction. WM. A. CAMPBELI. Pastor Little Mt Zion Baptist Church, 171 West 140th, Street, New York City. Court Record of Trial. NOTE BY EDITOR—The records of the Municipal Court, City of New York, Borough • Manhattan, Seventh District, show that on November 21, 1923, Besse Anderson of 35 West 134th street, obtained a summons for Rev. William A. Campbell charging conversion in the sum of $150. This summons, according to the endorsement on back, was not served on the deendant until November 28, a week later, at 34 West 136th street. Rev Campbell's address is given in the telephone book and on church matter as 234 West 136th street. The bill of participles, dated December 10, 1923, declares "That on or about the 10th day of August 1923, the defendant herein by fraud and deceit and by unlawful methods abtained from, the plaintiff the sum of $150," giving a receipt which read, "as deposit on raising mortgage on house 64 West 132nd street to be returned in signing of contract." The bill declared further that, defendant failed, neglected and refused to obtain the promised loan or to return the $150. The case was on January 29, 1924, and the following is a copy of Judge Jacob Marks' decision. "Index Number 14,246, Year 1923 "Municipal Court of the City of New York "Borough of Manhattan, 7th District "BESSIE ANDERSON, Plantiff "WILLIAM A CAMPBELL, Defendant "Decision and Judgment "After trial I hereby bind and decease that the plantiff is entitled to judgment against defendant for $150,00, and the Clerk is hereby directed to enter judgment accordingly. Defendant liable to execution against the person—5 days stay execution "JACOB MARRS, Justice. "See Memorandum "Dated, January 29, 1924. JUDENT "Judgment is rendered in favor of Plantiff and against Defendant for $150, with $175,00 costs and disbursements as taxed, amounting in all to One Hundred and Sixteen and 50—100 Dollars ($107,50). Defendant liable to execution against the person—five days stay VALENTINE HAHN, Clerk. Dated January 29, 1924. The receipt (given by William A. Campbell, defendant, to Bessie Anderson plantiff) shows the terms on which the money was given to the defendant. No contract was signed on which the money was to be returned and it is not the plantiff's fault that no contract was signed. She was to receive a loan of $500 and then discovered that the loan and terms were contrary to those under what the money was given to defendant. Last week the Blue Belt national girls champions, scored four victories, one in Washington on Thursday where they defeated the Orioles of Baltimore by a score of 27-16.

McDOUGALD, IN BALTIMORE, TELLS OF HER VOCATIONAL WORK Mrs. G. E. McDougald, vocational guidance director in the New York public schools, was the guest of the Cooperative Women's Civic League, Baltimore, and was the principal speaker at the annual luncheon of that organization in the blue room of the Royal Palace Hotel on Saturday, February 16, at 2 p. m. Mrs. McDougald told 250 colored women of the need for vocational guidance in the schools of Baltimore and outlined the methods used in New York City. The League devoted all of the day to an intensive study of local social construction in the colored group with emphasis upon its relation to child welfare. A round table discussion was held from 9 to 13 a.m. at the Sharp Street Memorial Community House under direction of Miss Elise Mountain, head worker, and at night a series of addresses were given on health subjects. During Mrs. McDougald's address, it was disclosed by one of the visitors on the platform that Jewish philanthropy was provididing for the first vocational guide in Baltimore, who had just begun work. Mrs. McDougald urged the League to foster vocational guidance as one of its activities, and avail itself of the cooperation. In Philadelphia, on Friday, February 17, at 3 p.m., Mrs. McDougald spoke at the Douglas Day Celebration of the Douglas Memorial Hospital, her subject being "the advantages of the mixed or unsegregated school." Numerous questions from persons in the audience indicated a lively interest in the matter Graduation Party. On Friday evening, February 8, a graduation party was given in honor of Miss Ruth Duckett. Ruth graduated from Public School No. 35, at the age of twelve and a half years. She has entered the 'turtles' High School, where her mother, Mrs Augusta Accoee Duckett, gained the honor of leading a class of 215 pupils, graduating with an average of 96.7 per cent.

M. E. Z. Church The reception of members into far-connection was the order at the evening service, Bishop W. L. Lee, and Bishop P. A. Wallace officiating. The service usually brings a large audience last: Sunday might there were migrants because of the snow storm but the people, as usual, filled the church. The absence of Bishop Caldwell, who was confined to his home, he designated Dr. W. W.

His exhortation, based on the theme, "The four-faced man on the man four square," was resulting out of the various requirements for serviceable membership, and the size of membership often found in churches. This was a timely admission and was presented in an effect and pleasing manner Dr. Matthews lives in Philadelphia and is a candidate for the bishopric. Ashland Pl. Y. W. C.
