Y. Of Lincoln Hospital and School Nothing Definite Decided as Yet, Although Bill Affecting Proposition Has Been Passed by State Assembly—Old Folks' Home to Be Retained by Private Corporation and Operated Independently. Friends of the Lincoln Hospital and Home were considerably exercised over a report which circulated last week to the effect that the City of New York was planning to take over that institution. Fear was expressed that if such a consummation developed it would result in unfavorable conditions with regard to the old folks who are being taken care of in the Home, even though it should be to the advantage of the hospital work. Representative of The Are called by George O'Flahon, superintendent of Residence and Allied Hospitals, with a group Lincoln would be connected taken over by the city, and inquired the report. O'Hanlon said that the proposition of annexing Lincoln Hospital to the institutions had been considered, he made plain the fact that the Old City was being changed by the change. It would not be over by the city, but would remain the single objective of the Lincoln Land of Governors, which would center on its attention and financial support in operation. The Lincoln Hospital and Nurse Training School, it appears, is more of a drain upon the Lincoln financial resources than a benefit, and according to Dr. D. H. Bellevue the Lincoln Foundation, which is late in formation, came to believe and made tentative inquiry as to the probability of the hospital and nurse training departments being taken over in city.

Reports have been received by The New York Age to the effect that the trustees of Snow Hill Institute, Wilcox County, Ala., have exonerated W. J. Edwards, principal of that school, from guilt in the matter of serious charges made by two of the young women teachers under him that he had attempted at various times to compel them to submit to his lascivious advances. This action, it is said, was taken by the southern white trustees when Ed- R. W. Willis and the Mother Zion Trustees Charges that Robert W. Willis, president of the J. C Price Lyceum of Mother A. M J. E Zion Church, was renting the store in the building owned by himself or his wife, at 2360 Seventh avenue, to bootleggers, which were published in The Age of last week, caused the Board of Trustees of Mother A. M J. E Zion Church to gend the following letter to Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age (COPY) Mr Fred R Moore. 230 West 135th Street. New York City. Dear Mr. Moore: At the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees last night, the allegations published in last week's issue of your paper against Mr. R. W. Willis, president of the J C Price Lyceum of Mother A M F Zion Church, were read The incumbent of this office is elected annually in the month of December by the members of the Lyceum, many of whom are not members of the church. And, until your allegations are proved, the Board of Trustees will not ask the Lyceum to request the resignation of its president. Very truly yours, R. B HENDERSON, Secretary, Board of Trustees. The files of the Police'Department at the 38th Precinct Station show that arrests have been made on seventeen different occasions during the past two years at this store and that both Mr. and Mrs. Willis have been to this police station and were told of the nature of the business being conducted there. The arrests were made on the following dates 1922- December 9 three arrests 1923 January 17, by Federal agents January 22 July 3 and 17 two arrests on each date August 23 September 4 8 17 and 19 October 4 1924 January 19, February 9 March 14, 25 and 30, and April 6 U.

In this connection, it is alleged that Edwards has made the statement that exoneration by the trustees that the ceftam of The Age had published an account of the charges against him in the issue of March 15 on his cause he, Edwards, had failed to pay money to The Age editor for certain letters which were in possession of the newspaper man. Incriminating Letters The letters in question are letters written by W J Edwards on letterheads of the Snow Hill Institute to a young woman in New York City, Edwards at the time being at a hotel in Boston after having visited New York City. In the first letter, Edwards made direct reference to criminal intimacy which he had maintained with the young woman in question, expressing his unbound love for her, and declaring himself ready to "give up everything for her. He also mentioned two women he expected to be in New York, who he had appointed with her on either of the two dates. Another letter stated that the trip would be delayed a few days and setting another date for the appointment. Photographic copies of these letters are in possession of one of the members of the board of trustees a northern man, and it is possible that the matter of Edwards' fitness to remain at head of the Snow Hill School will be repaired by the board, and pointed out that the southern white trustees seem inclined to accept a lower standard of morals in the case of a Negro school principal than would attain with a white school head. It is this attitude it is hinted, that led to Edwards being conquered. The northern white school clined to force their opinions upon the southern whites, fearing it might harm the work of the school. Edwards Wanted to Buy Letters. But in this case there is a strong intimation to the effect that the deprivation and gross immorality shown in the alleged actions of Edwards in New York City as expressed in his language in the letters to the young New York woman will lead to a demand in part of the northerners that Edwards must be deposed. A failure to take this action it is thought will lead to a withdrawal of financial support for the school from other than local southern sources. Out of consideration the name of the young woman in New York's not made public as yet but it is asserted by these familiar with the case that her late have been wrecked and future destroyed through the dependence she put in the ardent declarations and fervent promises made to her by Edwards. R H Benton Jr. county agent at Winniboor, L. is one of the accused. Copies of letters permafone been sent out by him has been kept in Miss Jane Hunter, secretary of the Phyllis Wheatley Home, Copenland, O. has in her possession letters received from Benton. They are written on paper which reads: "Cooperative Extension Work in Agriculture and Home Economics." The envelopes do not bear stamps. The first letter Mint Hunter received read We are informed that there are a great many southern-rated Negroes in the Midwest. Western cities that are not finding work are not of an opportunity to come back South and raise cotton. Please in touch with any easy contact in your state that we could arrange to bring back to this country. If necessary, we can send a man up there to arrange details, but we would like to know first whether it would be possible to secure the number we will need from any one city . . . "Becoming curious to learn more of this 'back to the South movement,' Miss Hunter answered Benton's letter, which brought forth the following reply "It is true that in a great many sections of the South, owing to poor land and heavy hoof weevil infestation the negroes have to force to leave their order to better live there. However, this condition is not general over the entire South, as there are many sections of fertile land that are making as much or more cotton than ever before. This county is located in the rich alluvial lands adjacent to the Mississippi River, and owing to improvements in drainage conditions is just being opened up. We are making more cotton than any other section of Louisiana and all our people here, both white and black. his failure to pay The Age editor for these letters was cause for publication of the March 15 story, is absolutely false. Editor Fred R Moore states that Edwards came into The Age office and acknowledged having written a "foobol letter" and would gladly pay £50 for its return. He was of the impression that the letters had been lost His offer to pay for return of the letters was absolutely and positively Jetted. Editor Moore is a member of fact, said Mr Moore, the letters had already been turned over to a member of the board of trustees, who had caused photographic copies to be made. These copies, it is understood, are to be submitted to the trustees at an early meeting. Comment with regard to the exoneration of Edwards indicates that his counter charges against the teachers do not clear him of the imoral practices charged against him, and the moral turpitude displayed in the contents of the book is unfit for to remain as head of an institution for the training of young people. Many of the Negro parents whose children attend Snow Hill Institute, and others who are friends to the work, deplore the attitude of those trustees who accept the "double standard" Idea. They declare that there is only one standard for all classes, and that to all classes at all times. A failure in this, respect will mean the lowering of the moral standard of all the people, without regard to race or color. DR. A. C.

The Age's Fight Against Harlem's Hooch Hounds At Last Showing Tangible Result The Age's Fight Against Harlem's Hooch Hounds At Last Showing Tangible Result INSPECTOR ZANES AND DEPUTY McCORMICK DIRECT DRIVE WITH 178 MEN AND THIRTEEN SERGEANTS, RESULTING IN MORE THAN 30 ARRESTS AND THE SEIZURE OF LARGE QUANTITIES OF LIQUOR FROM MOST OF THE BOOTLEGGING ESTABLISHMENTS IN HARLEM. Harlem hooch hounds apparently are beginning to realize that if they do not find a kennel of safety somewhere they are eventually to be kenneled by the police officers and the Federal authorities. Last Saturday there were 140 men of Police Special Service Squad engaged in the one task of cleaning up the vile and poisonous bootlegging joints of Harlem. On Sunday the number was increased to 175 men with 13 sergeants. For the first time since Prohibition went into effect, many of the most notorious and boldest of the Italian and Jewish hooch hounds who have made a hell out of Harlem were driven to cover and forced to close their doors. On all sides could be heard the outspoken thanks of Harlem's decent citizenry that at last the relentless and unceasing war made by THE NEW YORK AGE against these brazen violators of the law was beginning to show signs of victory. The raids were started Saturday afternoon under specific orders from Deputy Chief Inspector Samuel Belton, commanding the Special Service Squad, but he did not himself engage in it. He named Police Inspector Charles Zanes and Deputy Inspector Patrick McCormick as the officers to whose hands he entrusted the task, and he left it to them to sweep the haunts of the bootlegging industry as it never had been swept before. AND THEY DID! Before 10 o'clock Saturday night there had been more than fifty arrests made, and twenty-one hooch joints had been raided. Cigar stores, lunch rooms, restaurants, dry goods, and other cannon-flagged haunts of the "Blind Tiger" were invaded and in most cases the visits brought results.

Stucker, formerly of the Hotel Tattler was arrested on Saturday morning April 12, by special service officers on a charge of publishing an indecent magazine known as "The Cat's Meow". The magazine was started about the Stucker's arrest and the warrant for Stucker's arrest was issued in February. The publisher left town soon after and only returned last week. A co defendant in the case a man by the name of Mason was arrested at the time the warrant was issued but was released on bail until Stucker could be apprehended. A preliminary hearing was given the case at the South District Magistrate's office on April 14, 1980. The defendant was arrested under $500 bail trial in the Court of Special Session. The ambition of the police force to make good in this raid was intensified by a desire to refute the charge made by THE AGE, and voiced by United States Attorney Hayward that bootleggers were being protected and that projected raids had been tipped off in advance to those who had paid sufficient brushes. The activity shown on this occasion did not prevent the usual leakage of advance information, but it did make futile any effort to profit by it further than to get some of the movable stock out of the way. Raid Was Different From Others. On former raids, the officer making one, at most two, visit any hooch was found it was semediately proceed to stock up a be free from molestation for the especially was he confident in tably and paid the necessary tri Attempting Niceman, Falls from Fourth Floor At House, He Flees to 135th Settta House With Officer Fol-On Window Ledge, But Slips. old, jumped from an airshaft Cossetta House, 227 West 135th on Friday morning, April 11, in Patrolman Plinley Blank of On former raids, the officers have contented themselves with making one, at most two, visits to a particular hooch joint. If any hooch was found it was seized, but the bootlegger could immediately proceed to stock up again, confident that he would be free from molestation for the rest of that night at least. And especially was he confident in this attitude if he had acted agreeably and paid the necessary tribute (not to Bacchus, but to the the 38th Precinct Station. The patrolman was attracted to 220 West 134th street by the screams of Rosanne Robinson who found the man in her apartment. The officer chased the robber to 135th street and into the 227 address. When the fourth floor was reached an open window caused the man to attempt to hide from the policeman by standing on the window ledge of an adjoining window. In his attempt the slipped and fell into the court below. Considerable excitement was created at first, as it was thought that he had been killed. An ambulance was rushed from Harlem Hospital. An examination showed that he had suffered a traumatized ankle but no serious injury. The police searched a large bunch of knives including a dagger key in his pockets together with several rings, two wrist watches a pawn ticket for him. He also had two dresses and a woman's coat which was later identified as the property of Mrs Elizabeth Smith at 220 West 134th street in his possession. The police department believe that he responsible for many of the apartments in Harlem and are holding him without bail. s have contented themselves with us to a particular hooch joint. Ifized, but the bootlegger could imagine, confident that that he would rest of that night at least. And his attitude if he had acted agree-bute (not to Bacchus, but to the supposed enemy of Bacchus). Saturday's effort, however, was different. The officers were evidently working on the plan that "If at first you don't succeed then try, try again," for that is what they did. And there was a spirit of earnestness about their work which soon convinced the wary bootlegger that they meant business. Whether it was agreeable or not, neither officer or bootlegger could indulge in parley. Former amities were forgotten and pleasure greetings were impossible. A stern and implacable spirit seemed to be directing things and there was an atmosphere of omniscience that forbade the men taking any chances of exhibiting a sympathetic attitude toward the hooch hounds, even at so much per "attitude." In many cases the first visit failed to bring forth any evidence of law violation, the policemen would quietly leave, but just about the time the bootlegger imagined he could again start operations, in would burst the same or another group, and business would be stopped again. Hootch Joint Closes Door The hardiest and bravest violator of the law will lose his energy and cub his activity, even if he doesn't weaken in spirit, when subjected to such rememorial tactics. So it was that as early as 7 o'clock one of the pioneers of the outlaws engaged might nefarious business closed the door to their store which remained, particularly the curious onlookers, announced to the curious onlookers that he was through for the time being that two visits within a half hour was too much for him. But just the ame he did open his door later, although it is doubtful if any business was done in there that night. Sunday was another day so far as the calendar was concerned but Harlem noontaggers imagined it was still Saturday since it brought me up in police activity. As a matter of fact the rainy was intensified and slightly different factors put in effect. With the artificial men Inspector Zaues was enabled to conduct a more intensive drive. The 125 officers under his command were divided into squads several squads being commanded by a sergeant. These Vancouver, from their apparent methods, were given small, definite areas to cover, and this enabled them to maintain casualties, alliance over the territory assigned them. Each place was visited constantly, and finally, when it was found important to secure evidence of any sort from any particular place, several of the officers would take a station commanding the suspected place, and thus keep up spending espionage. Nostlaggers Are Disagusted. In this way, the bootleggers finally found themselves so circumscribed as to operation, that many of them gave up in disgust and closed their doors. As in consequence, on Saturday night and Sunday, many of the most notorious bootleggers in Harlem, particularly on Lenox and Seventh avenues, were closed and doors were locked. Hundreds of citizens have expressed themselves to The Age that these two events were made comparatively decent for the first time in many months. A number of the decent, respectable, law-abiding Jewish merchants who are conducting legitimate businesses have thanked The Age for its campaign against the hooch evil in Harlem, and have expressed the hope that it will be continued relentlessly until bootlegging is entirely wiped out so far as Harlem is concerned. Other citizens of both races have added their commendation and expressed gratification at the long-waited for appearance of tangible result in the fight against hooch selling in this community. In this connection, some surprise is shown at the failure of the colored ministers of New York City to follow up their expressed determination of a few weeks ago to take a definite stand against hooch and other vices prevalent in Harlem. One well-posted resident of the community declared to The Age that he fears the action taken by the preachers on their joint meeting was only a flurry, calculated to cover up their real purpose, and that they do not intend to take any strong and pronounced stand against a group from which some of them receive considerable financial support. Inquiry is also made as to the projected meeting of ministers which was scheduled to be held at Metropolitan Bantist Church on March 31. The Connla'a Inn License. Attention is also called to the fact that the license under which the notorious cabaret, Connie's Inn, in basement of the Lafayette Theatre Building at 131st street and Seventh avenue, expired on March 31, and has not been renewed. That resort is running under a temporary 30-day license granted pending a hearing at which time the decent Element of the citizenry who want to see the place closed up will have a chance to voice protest. In the meantime, and to emphasize their stand in the matter, citizens should write letters of protest and mail them directly to Commissioner of Licenses August W Glatzmayer, 57 Centre street Surprise has been expressed in many forms by Harlemites who are not aware that one of the most active of the Seventh avenue hooch joints, that operated as the Renaissance Lafat at 138th street, was housed in a building owned by a colored man who is active in church work, Robert W. Willis, who for some time past has been serving as president of the John C. Price Lyeum, one of the most active and important of the truly auxiliaries attached to Mother 'A' M E Zon Church at 151 West 136th street It is reported that Mr Willis has denied knowledge as to the nature of the business conducted on the ground floor of his building, and he is credited with saying that at no time has he been notified by the authorities that his tenants were violating the law. But in contradiction to this alleged statement, officials of the 38th Precinct, located in West 135th street assert positively that their records show that not only has Mr Willis himself been served with notice but that he has been served several times, and that his wife has also been served, to cover the contingency of joint ownership. This place was raided two weeks ago, but the officers failed to find any evidence of hooch selling, it is said, but according to reports better results were gotten in last Saturday's raids. List of Hooch Arrests The list of raids and arrests, as conti- nued on the blotter at the 138th Precint Station House West 135th street, totals thirty-one, with an enormous quantity of all sorts of booch seized, in quantities ranging from ounces to gallons The roster given out by the pohre is as follows John Powell of 117 West 142nd street, waiter, arrested at 575 LENOX AVENUE selling half pint of liquor to officer Charles White of 450 West 152nd street, waiter arrested at 168 WP49T 152nd STREFT charged with having one pint of gun Harry Murray of 261 West 137th street, a porter arrested at 476 LENOX AVENUE charged with having a 4 oz bottle of whiskey Wendel'Tay of 146 West 143rd street a porter arrested at 575 LENOX AVENUE, the Capitol Club, charged with having one quart of whiskey Willie Johnson 116 West 129th street a porter arrested at 251 WEST 144th STREET charged with having one pint bottle of whiskey George Schlauer 132 West 40th street clerk arrested at 305 WEST 144th STREET had 20 half pint bottles of gun in rear room Ben Shapm of 45 First avenue a waiter arrested at 2258 SEVENTH AVENUE charged with having 4 oz bottle of gun Louis Johns n. 132 West 112nd street, porter arrested at 656 LENOX AVENUE, had 21 half pint of gun Herman Bater of 621 West 170th street, clerk, arrested at 557 LENOX AVENUE, charged with having two half pints of gun Domonick Sull of 215 East 118th street, hartender at 2280 SEVENTH AVENUE had two 4 oz bottles of whiskey behind counter Sanford Ga. of 201 West 147th street, inkmaker arrested at 2474 SEVENTH AVENUE, charged with having one half pint bottle of whiskey Joe Mancini at 1532 Flatbush avenue Brooklyn arrested at 2474 SEVENTH AVENUE, charged with maintaining a alcoon Leo Feinstein of 142 Broome street street, arrested at 557 LENOX AVE.

A determined effort is being made by leading Republicans to scotch the poisonous snake, "lily whitelism," which is coiled with its head poised ready to strike at every Negro in the G. O. P. In last week's Age was published a letter written by Dr George E. Can Negro electors. The colored Republicans immediately organized another County Convention, naming Attorney Sculpio A. Jones as temporary chairman, later forming a permanent organization, with the necessary officers which body elected a full delegation to both State and National Conventions. A bitter fight is being made by this element to secure justice and recognition as loyal members of the party. In Bradley County on April 5, some thirty whites and 150 Negroes were present for the regular meeting of the County Convention. The whites attempted to exclude the Negroes on the charge of having bolted the party ticket at the last election. When this effort failed, some of the white men bolted the meeting and held another convention, electing a "hily white" delegation, endorsing Remmel for the National Committee. In South Carolina when the Union County Convention was held on March 11 Dr H C Hardy a prominent Negro physician of Spartanburg, defeated the candidate put up by Joseph W Tolbert, a white man, who is considered as the "untrusted king" of the Republi- Pluko WHITE HAIR DRESSING FORMEILLY BLACK - WHITE Makes The Hair Grow Long Soft and Glossy.

In last week's Age was published a letter written by Dr George E Cannon of Jersey City to John T Adams, chairman of the National Republican Committee, in which attention was called to action taken by "lily white" Republicans in a number of the southern states, especially South Carolina and Arkansas. The Age immediately began an investigation of the matter, and in receipt of information from Arkansas which tends to show that white men in that State, led by H L Remmel, National Committeeman, are reporting to trickery of the most pronounced kind to eliminate the Negro currents from participation in the councils of the party. In only two of the County Republican Conventions have colored men been allowed to take part Jackson and Se bastian Counties—from each of which colored men were named as delegates to the State Convention Barred By Police Officials In Pulaski County, the notice calling a meeting of the County Convention was printed in an unconscious place in the Little Rock Daily, the session to be held on March 21 in the community building. Colored men who sought admission found the way barred by police officers, who stated they had received permission to attend admission to Whites Bolted Meeting.

Philadelphia, Pa.—A vacancy on the Board of Education of this city, caused by the recent death of Walter George Smith, has made it possible for the Political Welfare Association to endorse Dr William Lloyd James and to present his name to the Board of Judges of the Common Pleas Court, who make all appointments to the Board The Political Welfare Association composed of citizens from all sections of the city and representing the majority of race civil organizations, took rapid action in behalf of the endorsement of Dr. Imes Petitions are being distributed and through the medium of the press, the Association will endeavor to awaken the citizens to this opportunity to assist in securing the appointment of Dr William Lloyd Imes which will give the race its first representation on the Board of Public Education of the City of Philadelphia. The brief address by the chairman in offering the matter for the consideration of the Association, stated in part, "That since there were at ealst forty thousand colored children attending the can party in South Carolina. Following the election of Dr Hardy, Tolbert is charged with having bolted the regular meeting and at a rump convention hastily formed, to have secured the naming of his relative, J A Tolbert of Greenville, as the delegate Joseph W Tolbert is charged with having controlled party affairs in the State by automatic methods, including refusals to pay expense accounts of duly elected delegates to various conventions unless they pledged themselves in advance to vote as he directed, by refusing to recognize opponents on the floors at meeting when he was presiding, and of threats to have dissenters from his policy thrown out of the party It is pointed out that this condition as shown to exist in Arkansas and South Carolina, and other southern states is in direct opposition to the resolution adopted at the National Republican Convention in 1920, which specially stated that colored delegates to conventions must be given full e cognition, and emphatically declared that Republican conventions must be held in such places as would afford full access to all members of the party without regard to color. Attorney Scipio A. Jones of Little Rock, Ark. commenting on "ily whitehits" in that State, declared that "The strong-arm tactics employed and effected by the 'ily whites' under the leadership at Col. H. L. Remmel, who is the National Committerman of the 'ily white' party in Arkansas, in denying the colored Republicans of this State the right participation in any of the party councils are repugnant and loathsome to red-blooded colored Republicans, and I hope will bring forth from the colored press of this country the most scathing denunciation and stinging condemnation of such nefarious tactics Universal protest throughout the United States, in the leading colored newspapers would yield the results necessary to overthrow the subversive methods of the Ilya white party not only in Arkansas, but also in every State in the South where they have attempted and have actually excluded colored Republicans from Republican Conventions." $150,000 Contract Given to White Builder by Wesley, A. M. E. Church, Phila., Through Architect: Philadelphia, Pa.—Wesley A. M. E. Church, 15th and Lombard streets, has already gone into the first stages of the erecting of a new church edifice on the present site, including a larger area on both 15th and Lombard streets. The new structure is estimated to cost approximately $150,000. George Savage, architect, with offices in the Witherspoon Building, has designed the new church for which he will be paid approximately $8,000, including all drawings and prints. The board of trustees of the Wesley A. M. E. Church are pleased and enthused. The plans are completed and one set of public schools of the city it was no more than a fair consideration that this organization, representing citizens from all sections and wards of the city, go on record and support with all our energy and power. Dr William Lloyd Imps, for the appointment. Being unaffiliated from a political standpoint and a man of enviable reputation and indefatigable action, it would be impossible at this time for us, with the good of the race at heart, to find a man or woman better suited or able to fill the vacancy on the Board of Education." Numerous addresses were made expressing frank approval of Dr Imps. Many pointed remarks were made regarding political activities and the necessary measure of the colored people of Philadelphia not to recognize parties who would constantly pick people for the group of colored citizens, rather than give them the opportunity of naming those to represent them in the various departmental offices of the city, state and national governments. The committee appointed to take up the immediate matter of Dr James' endorsement by the Association is as follows. Charles Fred White, William A. Potter, Mrs. S. E. McCleese, Thomas Ringgold, Andrew A Rice and John W Harris Jr. After a brief interval with Dr Wm Lloyd Imes, at which time he was presented with all facts pertaining to his endorsement by the Political Welfare Association a letter was dispatched to Hon J. Wills Martin Pres Judge of Common Pleas Court, by the committee, urging that Dr Imes be named and asking for a hearing on the matter Look Your Best USE QUINADE Quinade will help to beautify and improve the hair.

Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my shallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemlashes, it has no equal.

WILLIAM HAYWARD "No law however is too good or too important not to be changed if it is changed by orderly processes of a free people, operating under their own Constitution. And no man or woman is too good not to obey that law as long as it is on the statute books." —WILLIAM HAYWARD. U. S. Attorney, Southern District of New York. PADLOCKS AND POLICE RAIDS. Frequent and successful raids by the police of the special service squad have harrassed bootleggers of Harlem during the past few weeks. This action combined with the securing of Federal Court injunctions in the United States Attorney Hayward, by virtue of which some twenty-nine places have been roadlocked, has convinced the hooch vender that the campaign against their illegal traf. has not been relaxed. Despite these efforts violations of the prohibition act still continue and the sale of poisonous alcohol high prices pays high profits. Attention is now being directed to the owners of the premises where the hooch venders ply their trade. These owners in many cases cannot plead ignorance of the illegal use to which their premises are put, but the high rents paid by the bootleggers stiffen their scruples and blind them to the risk they assume. After these rented places have been parked for several months or a year and the revenue they formerly produced have been cut off the owners may see a new high in the subject. When the renting of stores, bootleggers ceases to be profitable, and the owners realize the risk of financial loss, serious crime will be put in this nefarious business. The arousing of the ministers of Harlem active participation in the fight against bootlegging has also had the effect of making the leasing of property for this purpose moral issue. The owners of such property who knowingly permit its use for violating the law are put in the same class as the breakers whose illegal profits they share is only fair that they should share the losses induced by the use of padlocks, as well as the moral stigma attached to law breaking. The influence of the ministers should be a powerful weapon in keeping the property owners straight on this question of using their premises for bootlegging or other questionable purposes. The good work done by the police under inspector McDonald while he was in charge of this district is especially to be commended. Their cooperation with the officials of the United States Attorney's office was most helpful in producing results and closing some of the most notorious hooch joints. The result demonstrated what could be accomplished under efficient police supervision in cooperating in good faith with incompetent Federal authorities. This is the art of team work that proves most effective in driving out the hooch venders and other reasonable suspects. There is still great need for renewed action with the law as violations of the law continue to take frequent raids and the liberal use of padlocks. The chief reliance for prohibit enterment in a great city like New York seems to be in energetic police action and persistent use of the injunction power.

Long before Mr. Slemp to a Democrat. The Georgia leader of the discredited Lilywhite faction one L. Phillips, has been and acted for participation in war fraud against the government. To the time we are recruited, I have to tell the names of the leaders we have to add to the name of Remmel of Arkansas with Leon W. bert of South Carolina with members of the National Republican Committee. I have to we said that the committee has taken the cases cited in the choice of delegates to the national convention there would appear to be a lack of good truth on their part. Later advices as to their direct intervention in discriminating illegally against the electors on the ground of color, leaves no ground for doubt as to their responsibility. They have arrayed themselves deliberately against the mandate of the party as declared at the national convention and as reaffirmed at a meeting of the national committee. It is up to the convention to rebuke the illegal actions of such committeemen as Tolbert and Remmel and to bar the delegates whom they have chosen by fraud and force, from admission to the convention. The trouble with these traitors to true Republicanism is that they have become czarlike in their domination of what they call the Republican party. Swollen with power, after having climbed into office upon the backs of loyal black Republicans, they seek to throw away the support that has lifted them so high and adopt the creed of the Democrats as to "a white man's party." Holding the few offices parcelled out to the Republicans, they control the funds required to send delegates to the national convention. This allows them to dictate the men who shall go and the way they shall vote. When the real Republicans elect men of their choice, as in the South Carolina case, not pleasing to the boss, he calls a rump convention and elects a creature of his own. In Arkansas the denial of participation in to colored Republicans in the election of convention delegates appears to be widespread and at the direct instigation of Committeeman Remmel. The only method for effective opposition to this attempt to steal the Republican delegates to the convention is for the colored Republicans to present evidence of the fraud and force employed to bar them from participation and to send contesting delegations. This will be costly in both time and money. But it is the only way to get their case squarely before the people. Stealing delegates, as practiced by such "Lilywhite" leaders as Remmel and Tolbert, is a feature of Republican politics which can bring only discredit upon the party which permits it to succeed. MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE In The Age of April 12 there was printed a most significant article written by Sadie Mossell Alexander, assistant actuary of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, which passed its twenty-fifth anniversary on the first of the month. The company had just undergone examination by the insurance departments of three States. North and South Carolina and Virginia, as a basis for an official report to the committee on examinations of the National Convention of Insurance Examiners A notable feature of this report was the statement made by these examiners that "the company is the only mutual life organization in North Carolina of any size, which is owned and managed exclusively for its policyholders." The significance of this statement can best be gauged by those who recall the insurance investigation into the affairs of the three greatest companies in the world, brought about by the New York Legislature some twenty years ago. One of the results of this investigation was to change one of these companies to a mutual basis, first by placing its stock in hands of trustees and eventually by the purchase of the stock and its retirement by the company. Life insurance companies according to the soundest sentiment of their promoters, are and should be very different from most commercial organizations. In life insurance it is not possible to distinguish between the policyholder and the company because the company represents nothing more than the aggregate of the people who have been brought together for mutual protection and advancement. It therefore follows that the advanced exponents of life insurance hold that the business of such companies is not only to solve risks collect premiums and pay death claims but to do everything possible to improve the health of policyholders and thus to prevent death. Especially is this policy wise and expedient for a company promoted by Negroes and writing risks for members of the race. The reference to the size of the North Carolina company made in the examiners report was backed up by the following figures showing the steady accretions of growth during the past twenty five years. The company had over forty million dollars of insurance in force on December 31, 1923. This was protected by a reserve fund of $1,835,119.54. Its income from premiums during 1923 was nearly two million dollars and it paid to policy holders over a half million dollars in death and sick claims. Its total admitted assets were stated as close to two million dollars. The manner in which these assets are invested is another important matter which was investigated by the examiners. They reported that the investment were found to consist of government State and municipal bonds and bank and utilities stock. There are not banks in default and interest-collected prompt. The mortgage loans in real estate are secured by first mortgages amounted to $669,804,000. The credit to the excellent shopping was given to the two principal officers of the company. President C C. Spaulding and J. M. Avery, vice-president and secretary, the first having been with the company twenty-five years and the latter twenty-one years. The report said: "These men, especially the president, who was with the company from the beginning, are the active officials who should be given credit for its efficient management." as the co response by the comment Universal matter, of Ame The result of this examination of the pioneer institution of its kind controlled by the race, after an experience of quarter of a century dealing with the intricate subject of life insurance, should be full of encouragement. It is an ample demonstration of the capacity of the race to grapple with its own financial problems and to solve them by the application of sound business principles. There is also reason to believe that the management of this company is convinced of the necessity of conservation work as a feature of life insurance. The results of health education and the care of the sick among its policyholders would result in a saving of death claims, which would compensate the company for the expense insured. Truly mutual life insurance is humanitarian in its devotion to the welfare of its policyholders. HAITIAN SENTIMENT IN FAVOR. That the appointment of an American Negro as minister to Haiti would be wellcomed all over that unhappy island, is the personal opinion of a correspondent of The Age, who is familiar with the internal affairs of that republic. The action of the present Haitian government is feared, however, as tending to prevent such an appointment, because of the fact that it is dominated by the officials of the American occupation, as well as the treaty officials, all of whom are white Americans, and mostly from the South. They have carried with them to Haiti all their color prejudices and do not hesitate to display them in dealing with the subjugated Haitians. In the event of the appointment of a colored American as minister, he should be a man of strong character and decision, possessed of sufficient prestige to ensure his control of the treaty officials and the power to compel them to fulfill their duties by setting up an honest and trustworthy administration of Haitian affairs. He should use his influence with the American government to carry out certain legitimate desires of the Haitian people. These would include the election of a popular legislative body to replace the present council of state, whose membership is entirely dependent on the president, the establishment of an auditor to control the finances and to prevent the squandering of the moneys raised by taxing the Haitians; the withdrawal of the armed forces of the American occupation and the re-establishment of a democratic government having its foothold among the masses of the people. How far the attainment of these desires would be practicable in the present state of development of the masses of the Haitian people remains to be determined. Few of the Latin-American republics of Central and South America have progressed far enough in the stage of popular government to maintain a republican state based on manhood suffrage. Elections are rarely able to substitute one set of rulers for another. It frequently requires a revolution to do that. Hence the resort to arms instead of to ballots when the term of office of one president expires. The chief advantage for the Haitians as well as for the American government in having a colored American as minister would be the fact that it would ensure a sympathetic understanding of the desires and needs of the Haitians and a correct interpretation of them to the government at Washington. It would provide a means of estimating the capabilities of the population of the island in developing and maintaining republican institutions. The present maintenance of the American marines and an unsympathetic horde of American officials in Haiti who are fattening off the revenues of the country is a heritage from the Wilson administration which should be discontinued. If the marines and their machine guns ever served any good purpose in Haiti which is doubtful, that purpose should have been fulfilled. They should be recalled and the Haitians given a chance to work out their own salvation.

It a man finds his surrogates uncongenial there is no need for him to stay. There have always been Negro students in Columbia a self-identents of other nationalities and in discrimination is not enforced against an This trivial statement of pure Alem as the only attitude possible for a true American. Speaking in response to some remarks made by the editor of The Age, in commending the course of the University authorities in this matter, he emphasized the duty of America to practise true democracy and to give a square deal to all elements of its citizenship. Recalling the National Republican convention of 1880, where he was present as a representative of the New York Tribune, Dr. Butler said that on this occasion he first met the late Senator Bruce. After his introduction to the Senator, he had him meet the then Governor-General of Canada and his wife, a daughter of Queen Victoria of England. Mr. Bruce then presented the distinguished visitors to the convention, over which he was temporarily presiding in the absence of the permanent chairman. Dr. Butler referred to this incident as an impressive sign post of the progress of the race, the majority of whom were but fifteen years removed from slavery. Dr. Butler has been known for years as a stalwart Republican, uncompromising in his deliverances on the duty of the party to adhere to its high principles on which its founders built so well. There is need for his kind of Republicanism in the halls of Congress and in the councils of the party. There is too much avoidance of vital issues in the conduct of the party today. Abuses of power and denial of representation have been suffered to creep into party management without rebuke until in vital matters affecting the rights of citizens it is hard to distinguish at times between Republicans and Democrats. The result of such conditions is to be seen in the disintegration of Republicanism now going on all over the country. If the Republican leaders would restore the parts to its former moorings and regain its olden strength and prestige it needs the infusion of the spirit of true Americanism enunciated by Dr Butler Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings Of Other Editors A notable contribution in the Outlook of April 7. was entitled Whitfield—Apostle of Racial Good Will by Lester A Walton. It referred to the inaugural address of the new governor of Mississippi as indicating a departure from the doctrine of Vardamanism and racial intolerance. The Dallas Express had an editorial on "Quitters in a late issue in which it scored an unfortunate tendency of the race." It said The road of least resistance is the one that we invagarem seem to have Ease and rest the wilngness of George do it a love of just letting the whole thing slide when the going gets rough is responsible for many of our failures and for a great deal of our reputation for being happy go lucky It is rightly argued that progress and achievement do not lie in following such a course It is the earnest persis- t workers that achieve success.

The Age Readers' Forum There is another vacancy in the Board of Education. Who will fill that place? There are 200,000 colored children in Philadelphia. Their children must be educated. Their interest can best be looked after by a colored man or woman. Every other group is represented on this Board except the colored group. Why do we sit down and let other people take away our God given rights? This vacancy should be filled by a colored person. It can be filled by a colored person if we roll up our sleeves and get to work. Frankly, our dire need is to have some checking influence on the Board of Education which is spreading segregated schools, at a tremendous rate. A colored member on the Board of Education would serve as a balance wheel to a Board which is apparently bent on "Jim Crowning" Philadelphia. That is the spirit in which to tackle the problem. The colored citizens of Philadelphia have the votes and the power to use them in such a way as to correct the evils they suffer. Let them back up the demand made by the Tribune. The Norfolk Journal and Guide referring to a well known poet, essayist and reviewer, said. William A. Moore was a writer of good verse in New York many years ago, before he moved to Chicago, and we are not surprised to learn that an edition de luxe of a poem by him called "The Lay of the Purple Green," is soon to be issued by the Pascal Covitt Company. He sings in glorification of women and wine. The claim he makes to be of a "lineage unclouded by white blood" is an astounding fiction. He is a high brown and a natural born joker Editing of THE NEW YORK AGE I wish to take this measure of ex- pressing my appreciation of the work of the liqueur out of liqueur and also of the courageous manner in which you have spoken out against militarism and to soil their dirt. Much of the trouble we have in this country is due to the fact that those who fill our pulpits do not believe the they preach well enough to practice it. The patience of the public is well night exhausted with regard to ministers who are too cowardly to speak out against the wrong and wrong actions, or to represent the high and holy office. You are troubled in turning the light of publicity on them. The way to clean out a worm that is festerulent with disease is to turn in the sunlight. Heaven bless you in your effort to maintain peace face to live. Coral and甜蜜, souls. Business School at Howard I am very glad it offer a few suggestions as to how the School, Commerce and Finance at Howard University could cooperate more closely with Negro business. In the first place the proper study of business is business. In order to do a real service a school should undertake to withdraw from business its daily prosms as they arise solve them and endeavor to project into the life of the business community the influence of sound methods and principles. This is usually done in the big universities by having a staff of outside lecturers to magnify phases of our business life come before the classes and present problems for solution. This was done in a spectacular fashion by Dartmouth College when Ion B Ford a Pilgrim potter was invited to feature at that great institution. So far as I know Howard was not cooperate with Negro business in training his business men, his class problems which are the most important our commercial life. Such a system of teaching business is part and praetor of the famous case method of teaching business as first introduced and used by the Harvard Business School. It means that the needs of business are definite, linked up with the university and a laborator is operated for the service of Negro business.

At one time the cry was "Save the Union," and though many years have passed the cry today is less important and necessary—"Save Union. There will never be a danger where there are separations of people. Union means unity. The blame we one cannot look or point at the other. There must be there will have to be concessions of all descriptions. There no more than fair that persons who judge themselves before attempting to judge someone else. Many colored people make it a point to demand all sorts of consideration. Their wrath burns high when race prejudice is discussed. They feel wronged from the beginning to the end. Race prejudice among colored people is very strong to a point where in certain instances it manifests itself as hate. This is true, for among the group we found vast numbers who bear prejudice against one another for the mere color. Therefore as a group colored people cannot expect consideration in their brothers unto them have treated and completely adhere level from among themselves. They must be unity among them. That is reasonable to believe they would be given all the consideration due There is another thought, not to treat malice toward one another, but to with all that is best within us to correct and assist in correcting a fault where we see one. Since colored people are working toward a goal they cannot afford to hear malice even toward those who wrong them most unjustly WILLIAM A POTTER Philadelphia, Pa Methodist Bishopric Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE As the General Conference of both the A M E Zion and the A M E Churches are near at hand I beg space to place before the delegates to the conferences the names of two great preachers and Christian gentlemen who should be crowned with spiscopal honors.

During the day six persons joined the church Dinner was served in the Church House by the Floral Clerk Mrs Cora Alston in charge First Emmanuel Church A glorious day was spent by all who attended the Psalm Sunday service at the church. In the morning Pastor Brien preached from the tea* And when he was come into Jerusalem all the city was moved saying Who this Matthew 21:10 Subject, Won't the Fleet St. A.M.E.Z. Church Palm Sunday was or should have been the occasion for much reflection. Certainly one's mind and thoughts could wander once again at that touley crowd as they wandered from the city to greet those Easterners as they marched on into the city with their shout's and plaudits ringing out on the morning breeze, "Hosana! Hosana! To Our King." One would wonder if the sun could shine brighter than it did on this Palm Sunday. Could there be a language sweeter than that of the birds as they cleared their throats for so beautiful a spring morning. The trees swelled as though the birds hidden by a winter's chill would burst forth in spindler and beauty. It was the awakening for humanity, too this reflection. Even though the service announced for 10.30 a.m. m., was a change from the regular schedule, before that hour Fleet Street Church was crowded As though it was anticipated by the pastor, Dr Brown, and in answer to the reflective mind, "The Backward Look of Death" was the more reason for a serious reflection. No attempt at oratory, nor the painting of any beautiful picture to allure one, but the simplest possible truth of a gospel that must and will stand the test. At 7:45, "A Three-Fold Exultation" was the theme. At the conclusion of the morning sermon the immediate family of Samuel G. Buchanan gave a testimonial in honor of his fifty-two years of valuable service to the church, sewing in every capacity, but the crowning work of his years as a churchman was during his administration as president of the board of trustees. He figured conspicuously in the organization of Fleet Street Church and was one of the men that stood with Dr F M Jacobs 'during his pastorate' in helping to plant the church on its pr sent site. The honor was well merited and came in his life time when it could be appreciated.

On Palm Sunday the early morning celebration was well attended, and at the 11 a.m. service the church was taxed to its capacity Mr. Johnson, organist and choir-master, furnished an excellent musical program. The choir sang the "Benediction by Clark; Palm branches" by Sudds, the duet was sung by the Misses M. Thompson and I. M. Truth; the offeror's solo was sung by Miss Ida Mae Truj. "Open ye the gates." by Knapp. Rev Bond delivered a stirring address test at Matthew 21.5. 'Triumphal entry.' The blessing of the palms was followed by the recessional.

White $200 Prizes To Be Awarded For Preserving Folklore and Folk Music of the Negro An announcement coming from the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, of which Dr. Carter G. Woodson, 1538 Ninth street, northwest, Washington, D.C., is the director, is of more than passing interest just now in view of the fact that it offers an incentive to Negro students of accredited schools to assist in preserving in original form the folk music and folk lore of the race. In connection with the American Folklore Society, the Association is offering a cash prize of $200 for the best collection of such original songs, tales, proverbs, sayings and riddles which the student may have heard and recorded. It is distinctly stipulated that the material sent in must not have been printed previously, and must not be composed by the competitor. The songs and other matter must have been gotten only by having been heard, and they must be sent in just as they were heard, whether dialect, school English, patois, idiom, or what not, with a record, where possible, showing name and locality of person from whom the entry was gotten. Students desiring to enter this contest must furnish their names to the heads of their various institutions, asking that the same be forwarded to Director Woodson, who will furnish all necessary information concerning the awards. In the case of folk music, it is well to bear in mind that sending in the melody as well as the words will add much to its value. Collections for the present award should be sent Dr. Woodson before August 1, 1924. A previous award of the prize was made at the spring conference held in Philadelphia April 3 and 4, and the award had to be divided, as two contestants sent in collections of equal merit Miss Herlene M Grier of Hampton Institute and the St Helena Folklore Society of the Penn School, Frogmore, S. C., were the joint winners. This is a contest of farreaching value. it seems to me, in that it will afford a means of preserving to posterity much of the most valuable folklore and folk-song of the Negro which otherwise would be completely lost. As a matter of fact, much has been lost through lack of ability on part of members of the race to set down accurately and correctly the songs and stories sung and told by our forefathers, but there is much that can be saved and this joint award of the two organizations named will help to save it. The committee of award consists of Dr Elsie Clews Parson, assistant editor of the Journal of American Folklore; Dr Franz Boaz, professor of anthropology at Columbia University; and Director Woodson. Mime, Bernerdene Mason, contralto, pupil of the Wilson Lamb Studio, Metropolitan Building, Orange, New Jersey, sang an interesting program at Mt Olive Baptist Church, Ashland avenue, East Orange, on Thursday evening, April 10. She disclosed a voice which showed careful development, the result of wist training, and it was handled with an intelligence that produced pleasing results. Not an organ of tremendous sonority, it yet has considerable volume. Lacking, perhaps, somewhat in resonance in the middle and upper register, it does have this quality if its lower reaches. But Mrs Mason seems to prefer the more rattled stratas and so her program gave little opportunity for esaying of her voice into those depths beloved of most contralto. Mrs. Mason has been studying with Mr Lamb through several seasons and her work on this occasion showed a most commendable improvement. There is an intriguing quality in the tumble of her voice, almost eerie in its effect, and to this is added an unusual flexibility which makes it possible for the singer to vie with most mezzos and some coloraturas in essaying certain not too intricate bravura passages. The audience which heard her filled Mount Olive as it has seldom been filled for a recital by an individual singer, indeed, the statement was made that only its recital given by the splendid church choir, which is directed by Mr Lamb, had so large an audience been present. And it was a most appreciative audience, too. One of the most splendid results of the work which Wilson Lamb has accomplished in New Jersey during the six or seven years he has been teaching there is the development among the people of a high degree of music appreciation, and intelligent appreciation, at that Mrs. Mason's program included the following numbers: 'Joy of Spring' (Wilson) 'The moon drops low' (Cadman) 'Flower Song from 'Faust' (Gounod) 'The day is no more' (Carpenter) Stride la vampa' (Fierre flames are soaring) from 'Trovatore' (Verdi) Negro Spirituals'--Go down Moses 'Sinner please don't let this harvest pass and I stood on the rubber of Jerdon (Burleigh) Give ye gay lords good even' from The Hurguenet' (Meyerheer) Do not go my face' (Hagenan) 'My heart at thy dear nose' from Samson and Delila (Saint Saens) Mrs. Cora Wynn Alexander was at the piano and her accompaniments were SPECIAL EASTER MUSIC Salem Church Quartette and Choir Sunday April 20, 7.45 p. m. Rev. F. A. Culian, Pastor Fred. R. Grant, Choirmaster played, as is usual, with sympathetic definiteness and added much to the recital Another interesting occasion was the appearance of the Mount Olivet Church choir, under direction of Mr. Lamb, in recital at St Stephen's Church, Millburn. N J. under auspices of the A M E. Church at that place, the Rev H S Van Buren, pastor. The white congregation gave their colored fellow church the use of the large and commodious lecture room in the St Stephen's edifice, and the audience was two-thirds composed of St. Stephen's members. Mr. Lamb and his choir was given a splendid reception, and the auditors were so pleased that a request was voiced that the recital be repeated in the early fall. The choir sang a group of Negro Spirituals, which included "Pilgrim song" and "Little David, play on your harp" by Diton, and "Weeping Mary" and I'll never turn back" by Dett.

Drummers Organized In the midst of movements which are believed to be heralds of the great changes we now have an organization to be known as the Colored Drummers' Club, Inc. Aubrey Mercer Brooks, president; Joseph O. Allen, vice president; J. A. Raas Jones, secretary, Harry M. Simmons, treasurer-manager. At a smoker given to the colored press, on Monday evening, April 7, 1924, at the Drummers' Club, the old familiar Sergent-At-Arms, Harry Haynes, was the toast-master lumi- medately, after Press Representative James H. Anderson had said the grace, Sergent Haynes read a telegram sent to President Brooks, from Samuel Patterson; president of the Clerf of the City of New York, saying that illness prevented him being present. Vice-President Joseph O. Allen, the late president of the New Amsterdam Musical Association, was called on for a three minute talk, and he told of 28 years ago when he started in the musical business as a Clarinet player, and fellow co-workers being all white musicians, and how the New Am- derdem Musical Association, was organized some years later to play music for the colored people and provide work for all colored orchestras. Next to speak was Wm C Elkins, the able and capable conductor of the recently organized Dextral Male Chorus. He said in part, "Let us drink a toast to the Clet Club of the City of New York, not for what they are doing now but to the Lofty Ideals for which it was founded by the late James Reese Europe, and here's to the New Amsterdam Musical Association, another to the Drummers' Club, and last, but not least, here's to the Dextral Male Chorus, and may we continue our activities after our first Concert Sunday afternoon, April 20." The old veteran James H Anderson, is owner of the Amsterdam News, was next to praise highly, in his imitable way, the singers and players generally and the Drummers' Club in particular. The New York Age, which for 11 years has stood solidly and financially behind the musical entertainers, nationally, and the Clerf Club of the City of New York locally, and with the greatest In the Realm of Music section on earth by its efficient and respected Managing Editor Lunen H White, was represented on this occasion by William H Clark the City Editor. The New York Age has placed Deacon Johnson's Musical Column in the field at the disposal of singers and players "To Grow As We Were," and the writer wishes to state here and now, that we shall lift high the ideals of the master founder, organizer, or chestra leader, hand conductor soldier, the late Jim Europe until we connect our line of musical entertainment up with the mighty intellectual pen of Lucien H. White, and our latch string is on the outside to members of the Colored Drummers Club, Inc. The New York News was represented by its Managing Editor Chester Magill and he praised President Brooks and his workers for having outstanded other organizations in Greater New York by having united the cultural life of the city. Next there was a Page and To say "It's a Long's" means correct hat styles at a correct price. "and they appear like the names."

Saturday evening, April 5, will be one long remembered by a few friends of Miss Florence Mills. Some time ago mention was made in these columns of the democratic attitude and affable manner of Miss Mills. This fact was more than substantiated on the aforesaid evening. An excellent luncheon was served comprising every thing that the term excellent implies. Space will not allow us to name every delicacy in detail but suffice it to say it was a feast of reason and a flow of soul. The occasion marked another birthday in the life of Miss Mills. Just how old she is, is none of my business but we know that old age has not yet overtaken her and she is still the agile, nimble and fascinating planet of the first magnitude. Music and dancing enhanced the blithsomeness of the occasion and the guests whirled themselves away in a merry maze till the wee hours of the morning. Long A Jackson of "Billboard" fame, told how he enjoyed being little fellow in front helping to carry the "Bom-Bom" Drum, and in later years made 11.45 at the hotel, and in red coat as a minstrel, stepped lively, to the Drums and that he was mighty proud now to possess a key and be a member of the Drummers' Club.

I wish I could tell you more, but will have, to stop跟你. I would like to hear about some of the northern schools sometimes. You may expect to hear from me again soon. Write me girls. If you have forgotten my name and address, here it is: Jennie Douglas, Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga. I am certainly not going to deny that it is hard to stop worrying. It can, however, become easier and easier all the time; not to worry, if one knows how to go about it. Most people don't understand the psychology of this kind of thing, and their efforts — unconsciently often somewhat hit-or-miss, apseudocrit, or hysterical. They could scarcely expect to get results. To-day I am going to tell you about one or two little "stunts" which have helped me and many other people in this war on worry. They will do the same for you if you are faithful in practising them. They may sound rather informal and every day but they are really founded upon sound psychological principles. The first is don't turn your back on your worries. Look them straight in the face. Often a scrutiny of one's worries will make one laugh—what he finds is so abused! Often he will discover there is nothing there at all to worry about. He is worrying because once upon a time he be got into the habit of worrying, and his nerves are "set" to respond that way. Laugh at the thing, and shatter this impression in the subconscious. But of course sometimes there is something real there real trouble or sort, sickness, discouragement, financial difficulties. What's the best thing to do then? Well, people talk about bracing up to troubles; have found that the best way to "brace up," is to let down! to let go to the idea of trouble and accept it as a fact of life, and face it like a sport. Pick up the trouble and carry it blithely. Refuse to pity yourself, don't get any more tragic than you have to; believe there is a way out. That is take a courageous attitude without it is exists. Think for a moment, of the autosuggestion of trouble and give yourself when you keep shrinking from the future. Why, instead of getting into action and strengthening yourself for any trouble that may be ahead, you are making the habit of worrying into the huskiest kind of brute, by insisting upon feeding him more and more worry every minute. It's so much easier to say the least, to bite off just a little worry and take care of that say just a day full or an hour full than to try to masticate all of next months at once. That's enough to give any body mental indigestion, besides being exceedingly foolish. Next time you are feeling sorrowful or grouchy or depressed or discouraged or worried, take just the next hour or quarter hour to live confidently, cheerfully serenely. Anyone can control his feelings for fifteen minute! I only to show himself what he can do, and it is splendid exercise in emotional self discipline. If you feel that you must rest and be worried or grouchy or discouraged again, when your quarter hour is up then do it. After which start off again on the self-control program. The more of these fifteen minute periods, you spend in acting cheerful, the less time you shall be able to spend in worry and gloom. Sprinkle enough of them throughout the day and it will make a respectable assortment of hours, hours of good thinking which are bound to have a splendid effect in counteracting the bad influence of your past hours of worry, and establishing more wholesome habits. Every little effort made brings its measure of strength. A wonderful power for happiness that by living constantly in the now you can reach that "then" you have been fearing. It will be always now, and you have nothing to do except to handle to-day, and to-days worries, a bit at a time. And you can do this. Through learning to postpone worrying, through learning to shut off worry until you not only learn not to worry, but you have brought into your hands the ability to enjoy life as never before you can get so that even in the midst of trials and troubles you can sit at your window and enjoy a sunset or read a book, or have a good time with a friend, saying to yourself "I shall consider that worry later. I am going to enjoy myself now." I might say that this is in a way the biggest lesson of life—to learn how to have a good time as you go. For there's nearly always something lurking in the offing which could disturb you if you would let it. If you are ever going to enjoy life you will have to learn to do it anyway. To come right down to it freedom from worry and the ability to be happy depends more than anything else perhaps upon the power of concentration, to direct one's attention to living optimistically to day. PITA A Oklahomaans to Attend the 25th Session of National Negro Bus. Men, Aug. 20 Tuskegee Institute Ala — Chicago will be overrun with Oklahomaans at the celebration of the "Silver Jubilee" of the National Negro Business League August 20 21 and 22 according to the report of B M Roddy, Memphis Term. who has recently toured the State of Oklahoma in the interests of the National League of which he is one of the vice-presidents. In a letter to A I Holley secretary of the National Negro Business League, Mr Roddy declared that the business men and women of Oklahoma are with the National Negro Business League and its program and are eager and anxious to organize and to cooperate. The plans for Mr Roddy's Oklahoma tour which included 12 cities were worked out by H I Lillibert merchant of Muskogee a member of the executive committee of the League and M. Perrera, president of the State Liberian Farming Student Visits Tuskegee Institute To Study Farming Methods Tuskegee Institute, Ala. — T. M. Campbell, field agent in the extension work among Negroes in Alabama, reports that native Africans are coming into the South to study the best methods of agriculture and to carry the information back to their people. K. W. G. Dooma, a native of Liberia, is one of these agricultural missionaries and before coming to Alabama to study farming methods graduated from the Pennsylvania State College. The following is a copy of a letter he has written home to the President of Liberia: "The week before Christmas recess found me in Tallapoosa County with the 'Booker T. Washington "Agricultural School on Wheels." This county is seventy-five miles from the institute, and is one of the many adjacent counties that come under the direct influence of this outstanding Negro educational institution. Its roads, like many counties downhill, are choppy and moaning, and as the soil is purely Kaolin, or red clay, it does not afford a smooth ride with a heavy truck, especially during or right after a heavy rainfall. "The inscription on the truck is 'Booker T. Washington Agricultural School on Wheels.' This truck with its equipment was donated to the federal and state agricultural extension service by the Negro farmers and their friends of the State of Alabama, in appreciation of Tuskegee Institute and in memory of the late Booker T. Washington, who helped to make the Negro extension work possible and who loved the country people and the 'Great Outdoors.' The truck is provided with a rather full line of equipment, such as spraying outfits, paint brushes, farm levels, carpenters tools, bread mixers, milk testers, fireless cookers,飞 traps and other materials with which to put on demonstrations in various lines of work. This movable school is under the auspices of an agricultural expert, who is also a carpenter. His staff consists of two young women, a trained nurse and a teacher in home economics and the county agent of that particular county. The truck is moved from place to place where arrangements have been made for the meetings. A week or ten days is the maximum time allowed for the school to be in one place, as there is always a demand elsewhere. "One of the most fascinating scenes of the demonstration work was the enthusiasm shown by the people Both old and young, ministers of the gospel, deacons of the church, and farmers, stocked to the place where the demonstration was to be staged. There were also three representatives from three comments present, Europe, Africa and Asia, who came to see how the Agricultural School on Wheels is operated. "The schedule is arranged so that none of the crowd can get away without a rounded idea of the whole program. The first course listed and taught the first few days was the use of the farm level. In other words a complete course in terracing was given to enable farmers to prevent erosion of their farm land. As the front yard of the place where we made our headquarters needed terracing, the first terracing lessons were staged here. The yard was laid out, marked, plowed and levelled, and shrubs and flowers were planted. This class was followed by the class in pruning and grafting fruit trees. After the first demonstration lesson, each man was given a tree or two to prune, the result of which was satisfactory. "Building of a spacious poultry house and the care of poultry was another course that was strongly emphasized. Instruction in building sanitary toilets was given. The last day was mostly devoted to lecturing and answering questions on raising cotton and what to do in decrease the raages of holl weevil. "As the men and boys were busy engaged about their routine for the week, the women and girls were also carrying out their well planned program. Special training in house keeping, nursing the sick, improving sanitary conditions and the selection of the making and the care of clothing was given. The women and girls were also given a course in the making of drinking cups out of paper and discarded empty fruit cans, etc. Another course of vital interest that was given was in cooking, instructing the women how to prepare varieties of palatable dishes from one thing. This course is worth encouraging, for an average farmer's wife prepares the same old dishes three times a day in and year out. Varieties of dishes contain distinct medicinal virtues, and their use among the rural people should be encouraged "Perhaps it will be of interest to divert a little attention to a description of a typical farmhouse the one that was placed at our disposal for the week was especially typical. Sprinkled over hill and dale lay cabins and farm houses, most of which never had a coat of paint since constructed many out from the world by forest and rolling hills. However there is a sign of life in the day for little children are seen playing around the houses. Darkness of the night usually drives both parents and little ones around the fireplace after the sun goes out. evening repair. "A typical farmhouse has two spacious rooms with a kitchen exclusive and each room is large enough to accommodate three large beds. The number of beds in each room depends upon the size of the family. One of the striking things that one noticed was the neatness of the beds. They were scrubbedly clean and freed from night motors (bed bug). As there were no electric lights or other modern system we contented ourselves with firelight for the first night. The following night, however, found our room lighted up with electrici's, for we had installed a Deleco-Light System that we brought with us. A few Negro farmers of another country have the Deleco-Light system installed in their homes as a direct outcome of the school demonstration of the system in the rural home. The first three evenings were devoted to showing motion pictures of modern livestock and poultry farms. These films were an education in themselves to the farmers and their families. There was a party given them last night and the party was furnished by the Movable School for the school is provided with a portable Vetrola. Although the mu-s would have invited others to dance yet a single son was moved to in-dulge in this healthful and aesthetic pleasure. Many of them are true Methodists, which to the idea of the im-property of dancing. I seen the social hours were educational in showing how the little house may be probably spared. In this, the huskenger instructed the telegra on people and the THE NEW YORK AGE Fads and Fancies Eutinf raisins as though no other food contained iron! This is one lad. Buying vitamin in tablets or in some other concentrated form! Another fancy. If you are getting a mixed diet in which fruits, vegetables, milk and butter play a big part, you are getting an ample supply of vitamins so essential to growth and health. There are many foods which contain iron. Spinach, string beans, cabbage, lean beef, eggs, strawberries, raisins, figs, prune grapes, tomatoes, celery, carrots, peas, beets, onions, graham bread, catnip, milk, etc., are fairly rich in iron as well as other minerals. I mentioned celery, and am reminded of statements I have overheard concerning the value of celery as a nerve food. Let me say here that celery is no more of a nerve food than are buttermilk, codfish, spinach, cauliflower, cottage cheese, asparagus, rhubarb and a host of other foods. After all, the master of providing the body with the numerous materials it needs is a simple thing. Eat an ample amount of each variety of food and you will be automatically providing the tissues with the correct things. Eat more of the fruits and vegetables and cereals than you do of the meat foods. (Meat foods are meat, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts, etc.) There are dangerous fancies regarding foods. You all know some people who think that they should limit their diaries to vegetables. This is not wise. Some people are foolish enough to let their children see that they do not like certain types or articles of food. The children are naturally imitative and if they set that you "stick up your nose" at certain things, you cannot expect the most important to enjoy them. We have paid too much attention to the idea that nature makes us want the things we need. This is only true to a limited extent. People who are ill have no appetite as a rule, and yet they staff in great need of plenty of food to support the body in its fight against the disease. We are quite capable of digesting foods of which we do not like the taste. The reason that people do not retain foods they object to eating is largely due to the mental attitude and can be overcome. Booker T. Washington 'agricultural school on wheels are dramatic examples of what can be done, and what is being done for the South and the Negro race The school' on wheels is especially note worthy, not alone on account of its uniqueness, but for its great work as Thousands yearly are affected either directly or indirectly by this school. Their own condition is not only bettered, but they in turn, influence others. This is not only a local or national work, but is world wide, as students and missionaries from other counties come here to catch the vision of how things are done, that they may carry the work in other lands. The trip was both thrilling and instructive experience and I feel sure that its worth cannot be overestimated. Orange Y. M. C. A.

For one thing it has plenty of comedy. Speedy Smith is the leading comedian and throws the house into an uproar when he cries in the second act after he has been captured by the Mexicans and threatened with death the next morning Andrew Trifleb, Barrington Carter, Sam Cook, Morton and Brown, Garland Howard ohny Nitt, Al Young, Estelle Floyd and Sterling Grant are the other principals. "Hit and Run" is a revival of the war comedies, with most of the scenes in Mexico instead of Europe Garland Howard and Speedy Smith are forced into the army and go down to Mexico to capture cattle thieves. They are captured and are threatened with execution when they go out singlehanded to capture the cattle thieves. Through the assistance of a Mexican girl and the American soldiers (which included the large chorus) Smith and Brown are rescued just before the hour set for their execution. There are several new songs in the show and the costumes and scenery were good. It will continue the week of April 21. For the week of April 28, Coleman Brothers have secured the entire show from the Club Alabama, one of the Broadway after-theatre clubs, which has had a most successful season. Edith Wilson, Johnny Dunn and the Club Alabama Band, under the direction of Fletcher Henderson are some of the attractions with this show.

MOGAR About five years ago, a porter who had been in the service of the Pullman Company for many years, walked in the office of the district superintendent at New York and said to the special who was at that time in charge, Mr. A. I have come to tender you my resignation." Mr. A. looked up in surprise and asked, "What for? Are you tired of working? Aren't you running or one of the best lines in the district?" The porter, never for a moment extred of working not am I disatisfied with my run, but I have been i the service for years, and it is quite evident to me that I shall get no farther than I am now as long as I stay on this job." "Well," remarked the superintendent, "what can I do to keep you from resigning?" hTc. porter, never for a moment expecting his request to be granted, but just to say something, replied, "Give me a position in your office, something where there is a chance for advancement. That is the sort of work I want to do. To prove to you that I am capable of holding such a position, I am willing to submit to a test. Try me out right now. Dictate to me anything that you wish to and I will take it down in shorthand and type it as quickly and accurately as any employee that you have, in your office." The superintendent gave him one of those smiles which many a Negro who has applied to white men for one of the higher positions is familiar with, and said, "Yes, you have grown tired of railloading." This was the Pullman career of a courageous . . . and ambitious porter brought to an end Situated on Ledox avenue, near that busy upstown center of trade and traffic, 125th street, stands today a newly remodeled office building. A pedestrian who glances up will observe on the windows of one of the floors the following sign. "GEO P HENDERSON. MODEL SCHOOL OF STENOGRAPHY: TYPWRITING. AND BUSINESS TRAINING." The proprietor and director of that school is the man who grew tired of portering five years ago. By devoting his "off-time while railroading to the study of stenography, book-keeping, business correspondence, and office management, he equipped himself to resign from the Pullman service and launch this school for training ambitious young men and women of the race. His first place of instruction was located in 131st street, but, on account of his increasing business, he was recently obliged to remove it to the present address. There are two traits of Mr. Henderson's character which those of us who have known him from the time when he was railroading have always admired his courage and his loyalty. When we review his career since that fateful day when he resigned from the Pullman service, the part that these two qualities have played in his success is at once apparent When Mr Henderson resigned, he was running on one of the bufft-smoker cars of the aristocratic Knickerbocker Limited of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford System. Before prohibition, this run, with salary per-quilte, generally netted the Knickerbocker three hundred dollars per month. To give up this certain compensation for the uncertainty of an ideal required courage and ambition of a high degree. He did not however. Today he occupies a prominent and influential place in the business community of Hartley. His success has not caused him to forget his old railroad friends nor to discount the fellow workers who were once his acquaintances as some of our ex porters who are now assuming the appellations of business men and professionals are in the habit of doing. Most of these would be far better off financially at least if they were still running on the railroad. Mr Henderson still continues to hold office as treasurer in the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Association, a fraternal body composed of the porters who run on this line. **O Spring St.** Treasure, N.

WASHINGTON Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Formerly His Secretary, Paid Tribute To Tuskegee's Founder on Sunday. A warm tribute was paid to the memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, his former secretary, at the annual Founder's Day celebration of the Tuskegee Association of New York at Abyssinian Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, April 13. Dr. Scott told of his years of association with the founder of Tuskegee and declared that Dr Washington's simplicity throughout all his accomplishments and triumphs was one of the outstanding traits of his life. He also paid a tribute to the late John H Washington, brother of the founder of Tuskegee, for his part in helping to build that great institution. "The secret of Dr Washington's success in life," the speaker concluded, "if indeed there is any secret about it at all, was his unfaithing optimism his dogged determination, his resolve to permit no obstacle to daunt him, and his proof on numerous occasions that he was absolutely above insult of humiliation his appointment could discourage him. If he were to face him, his race everywhere could but catch some portion of his sweet spirit, his high courage, his rich optimism, for us in every part of the country there would dawn that new and better day for which our fathers' fathers have worked and sung and prayed. Dr William Jay Schaffelman president of the board of trustees at Tuskegee, also spoke and took occasion to tell of a recent visit he made to Tuskegee. He said the crisis of a year ago over the Veterans' Hospital had passed, thanks to wise and courageous handling by Dr Moton. He also paid tribute to the memory of Dr Washington and to the late William G Willcox, former president of the Board of Trustees. Robert F. Knight, the Tuskegee Association of New York, told how Tuskegee's founder had influenced the lives of the graduates and ex- students of that institution.
