NEW five-year subscriptions from 17 of your good friends who are you win. For each subscription you will receive 37,500 using a total of 637,500 credits. Then in addition you will re- spect special ballots of 50,000 credits each for the eight clubs of club. That will amount to 400,000 credits; add the two and a grand total of more than a million. Figure if out, for your number this is on NEW subscriptions only, and they bring Tuesday night, January 6, is the finish of the Big Creature State Championship Club. Just a few days more to win or lose, prices worth thousands of dollars. That is practically what it means. Collegely arrayed and with honors, equally divided up to the presidents, it depends almost entirely upon results obtained by each individual participant, and his or her friends between this date and the time of the first period. Tuesday, as to who the ultimate winners will be. No one has a "walk-away" for the Bench coach, neither is anyone hopeful or heated. Just a few long term GAL. TWENTY-NICK subscriptions for any one of the unions contenders would change the entire lineup and crown a new leader. A little volunteer now may assist the tie of defeat and turn it into a sweeping victory. Of course the race does not come at a close until January 28 but the winners are sure to be among those club members who make the best records next week. Is not what has ben done or what has to be done or what will be done three weeks from now. It is what is being done now by our counts. The vice club member is now her she who plays the game today to put in effect a plan of campaign that will compel victory to perch on her or his standard. Records to be Broken This Week From every quarter come reports of records to be broken this week. Club members have deep plots lain for increasing their credit by by hundreds of years of records. Will roll in as-nover before. A Fight to the Finish Don't forget that this is a battle now, and for the ensuing three weeks. Craft will help, speed, too, and the rigged strength and lasting qualities of a few hundred, thousand, credits mean victory. Victory there will be just as sweet to you as any other battle in life's history. The same will be true in the maintaining. Get credits discreetly; and hustle willing; watch and battle persistently to the end. Then if you fail to win, it will be because some other competitor embodies your strength to a greater degree. Remember 2000 credits are allowed, while only subscriptions this week, the following week only, 1500 credits, the following week only, 25,000 credits are issued on five-year subscriptions now, while during the regular period only 20,000 will be al- Atty.

New York Extends Gracious Hospitality To Enthusiastic Collegians Who Make Up Member Body of Two Greek Letter Bodies Delta Theta Sigma Sorority and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Given Great Reception When They Hold Annual Conventions in New York The young, collegians of the race, from all sections, of the country, including many of the graduates who continue young in spirit, whatever the toll the years may tell, have thronged he corridors and tramped the pavements of the great metropolis during the past week, coming here for the annual conventions of the two strongest and most important of the Greek letter fraternities—the Alpha Phi Alpha and the Delta Sigma Theta. Both bodies opened their sessions on Saturday, December 27, and continued through to Wednesday, December 31. The men, forming the Alpha aggregation, met in the parish hall of St. Philip's P. E. Church, West 134th street, while the women and girls who form the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, meeting in its sixth annual convention, had the spacious facilities afforded by the 137th street Y. W. C. A. building as its headquarters. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Holds 6th Annual Convention The initial entertainment of the Sororities was the welcoming reception tended the national body by the local chanters—the Alpha Beta and the Rho—on Saturday evening, December 27, in auditorium of the "Y", at which time the $1,000 scholarship for art study abroad was awarded by Alpha-Beta Chapter to Miss Gwendolyn Bennett of Brooklyn, now instructor of art on the Howard University faculty. Dorothy Canfield, Fisher Spoke The special guest of the evening was Dorothy Canfield Fisher, distinguished American novelist and short-story writer, who came down from Wanted To Have Detective Arrested For Gazing, He Arrests Them For Larceny Wanted To Have Detective Arrested For Gazing, He Arrests Them For Larceny Two colored men, John and Leroy Reed, who claim to be brothers, resided at 200 West 131st street, and 215 Madison avenue, respectively, took offense when Detective John McLoughlin of the East 104th street station saw them in 104th street near the police station and passed them the second time in order to get a good look at them. "The brothers" became indignant, not recognizing McLoughlin's official status, and threatened to have him arrested. The officer apologized for his seeming rudeness and passed on. But he decided to keep an eye on them, just the name, and so a few minutes later, when the Reid brothers had backed Alexander Fretz of 176 East 102nd into the East 104th street where proceeding to go through his pockets, McLoughlin was on hand and witfessed the process. When the robbery was complete, McLoughlin stepped up and asked the two brothers "to take another stroll--this time, to the 104th street station. They went along, all right. AGE ADVERTISING PAYS! Dogs advertising in The New York Age pay? Counselor Rufus L. 'Perry., Shite 90, 375 Fulton street, Brooklyn, had a house to sell and he sent notice to that effect to The Age.

Three cities sent invitations for the next convention—Detroit, Chicago and Atlantic City—and there was a spirited contest but the Gamma-Lambda chapter of Detroit finally won out.

On the steep hillside curve at the old Tea house his front wheel became entangled in the tow-rope. The car was overturned and dropped down a 20 foot embankment, pinning the drummist beneath it. During the Christmastide, New York's great heart was opened wide to the destitute poor of the city and to the thousands of children, whose chance to see and enjoy the fruits of a visit from Santa Claus depended entirely upon the philanthropic effort of those more affluent than were the children's own relatives and friends. These exhibitions of the human sympathy that pervades the hearts and souls of the people of the Great Metropolis were in evidence in all sections of the city. Many such demonstrations were given in the Harlem community, by welfare organizations, by business relief groups, fraternal and secret alliances, and by individuals who sought to bring joy and gladness into the lives of poor kiddies. Katy Ferguson Home Girls resident at the Katy Ferguson Home, for unmarried mothers were given one of the lowest and happiest life images, they excel and are blessed to inherit the generosity of various groups and individuals.

To Charge In A Crisis Editorial Says N. A. A. C. P. Failed To Approve, Endorse or Commend His candidacy ASKED VIEWS ON HAITI, KLAN AND THE DYER BILL Accuses N. A. A. C. P. Officers With Active Support Of 3rd Party Ticket In the January issue of the Crisis magazine, its editor, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, in explaining why the N. A. A. C. P. did not give its support to the congressional candidacy of Dr. Charles H. Roberts, of the 21st New York District, in the recent campaign, charged that the organization's offer-of support to Dr. Robert's campaign was spurned by the candidate and his managers. When Dr. Roberts' attention was called to this editorial statement, he expressed a disinclination to entering into any sort of post-discussion as to developments of his recent campaign, having this decision on a desire that the official attitude of the N. A. A. C. P. An advocate for the election of a race candidate for Congress should be passed over and forgotten for the good of the organization itself. "Bun," said he, "it seems that such is not to be the case. In an effort to protect himself and the organization from the odium that attaches to the utter failure of the N. A. A. C. P. to live up to the purpose of its existence, Dr. DuBois has resorted to methods that are in polite society known as flirting with the truth." Makes a Counter Charge Commenting on the failure of the N. A. A. C. P. to assist in his race for Congress, Dr. Roberts made the definite charge that— "This organization has not, to this day, approved, commended or endorsed the candidacy, or given a word of encouragement to the candidate, either through collective or individual action. "The official party designation of the congressional candidate took place about the 15th of August, and not until October 4 did the candidate receive the following insincere, but diplomatically worded letter, written under date of October 3. "NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE "69 Fifth Avenue, New York " October 3, 1924 " Dr. Charles H., Roberts, "349 Lenox Avenue, "New York City. "My dear Dr. Roberts—We wish to extend you the courtesy of our press service that you might address the colored people not only in New York city at large. If you would be good enough to send us, say, five hundred words we should be glad to include them in our releases going out next week. We would appreciate it. If you would have the matter in our hands not later than Wednesday, October 8. "I am sure colored voters would be interested to get your views on issues of such vital importance to them as the Klu Klu Klan, the Dyer Anti-Launching Bill, the American government departments and the American occupation of Haiti, also to learn of any special program you may be planning. "With kind regards, yours sincerely, (Signed) "JAMES WELLDON JOHNSON, "Secretary." A Non-Committal Letter "This letter without giving the slightest hint or suggestion of its intention or desire to promote the candidacy of a colored man for Congress, asked the candidate to express his views on the American Occupation of Haiji, segregation in the government departments, the Ku Klux Klan, the Dyer Anti-Lynching, Bill, etc. The editor of the Crisis knows full well that the American Occupation of Haiji and the segregation in government departments at Washington were not lessies in the congressional campaign in Hartford, New York City, and any Negro with sufficient intelligence to inquire concerning the attitude of the candidate on the Ku Klux Klan and the Anti-Deyr Lynching Blll ought to have sense enough to know how he stood on those questions. "The New York Amsterdam News, The New York Age, The New York News, the Pittsburgh Courier, the Chicago Defender, and other race papers, did not ask those fool questions, but from the day of designation of the candidate for Congress, they went on record in support of him." But of course they believe in the Advancement of Colored People. "Now, my reply to the offer contained in Mr. Johnson's letter with regard to the release of my news to the colored papers of this city which had supported my candidacy from the beginning, and the 'the country at larger,' that could be of no assistance whateyer Insofar as the election was concerned, was as follows: *New York City, Oct. 8, 1924* *Mr. James Weldon Johnson:* *Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.* *90th Avenue, New York City.* "Dear air: I have your favor of the 3rd air, in which you offer me the service of your press release in order that I might address the colored people 'not alone of New York City, but of the country at large'. It is the general impression that your organization is not in sympathy with my candidacy. I am advised that your Director of Research and Publicity, your director of Branches, together with one of your field secretaries, are actively supporting my opponent on the Third Party ticket, although the candidacy of the latter is abortive. In view of the fact that I am the regular nominee of the Republican party, contesting a district that normally is Republican, that I have excellent chances of success, and that members of our race thrust into the country are deeply interested in my organization in my candidacy, the failure of your organization to record a clearcut endorsement is a source of disappointment to those who have accepted your standard of race service. "There can be no question as to where I, a colored citizen, would stand upon the various issues set forth in your letter, and I am pleased to refer you to my entire public activities, including my record as a member of the Board of Aldermen of this city, as full guarantee in this respect. The election of one of our race to the Congress of the United States (particularly in a district where colored citizens are the minority, as is the case here), would certainly act as a precedent of the people. A the opportunity has not been taken in the whole history of the North, and one might well have expected your organization to assume the leadership in urging support of this cause by citizens of all races. "For the reason that your attitude in the circumstances does not square with the purpose of existence of your organization I am forced to the conclusion that it would be idle for me to take advantage of your offer. With of the courtesy your letter implies, and assurance that aside from this matter I shall be pleased to cooperate with you in advancing the cause that should hold our common interest, I beg to remain. (Signed) "CHARLES H. ROBERTS An "Informing" Case "In the January issue of the Crisis Dr DuBois has written an editorial captioned, 'A Candidate for Congress. The editor says that the 'case' is 'informing'. I am of the opinion that the editor is sadly in need of further information on the 'case'. He proceeded to reflect on the Republican Party, the same party that the N A, A. C. P is depending upon in its fight to put over the Dyer Ant-Lynching Bill. Has action in this respect closely resembles gratitude and stupidity. "I presuming to give the political record of the candidate for Congress, he stated, among other things, that recently Dr. Roberts has been defeated for Alderman by a colored Demperatic candidate." It might be "informing" to Dr. Dudblis to say—what he already knows—that Dr. Roberts has never run for office against a colored candidate, and therefore could not have been defeated by one. It might be "informing" to Dr. Dudblis to say—what he already knows—that Dr. Roberts served two years with credit to the Board of Aldermen. It might be "informing" to Dr. Dudblis, what he already knows—that any Alderman Dr. Roberts endured and secured the passage of measures in the Board of Aldermen that brought a million and a half dollars to Harlem in the form of public amovements (See Aldermanic Records, Vol. 1 and 2—1920). As To The White Vote "Dr. DuBois says further, 'What Dr. Roberts ought to have done was to have gone after the white vote.' The white vote had the majority and he knew it, but did almost nothing. Again he might be 'informing' to say—what Dr. DuBois already knows that Dr. Roberts did go after the white vote. He spoke at political meetings from 12th street and Riverside Drive to 181st street and Broadway, not only in club houses in the nations districts, but in churches, schoolhouses, etc., all in the white section. The candidate for Congress did all that was humanly possible for him to do but like Col. Roosevelt he was defeated "Dr. Duallis says that the N. A. A. C could find nothing to present to the electorate besides the fact that the 'grandfather of the candidate was black' it might be informing' to Dr. DuLous to know that I take pride in my black ancestry. This leads me to make the observation that if Dr. DuLous thought more of his black ancestry and less of his white ancestry it would lessen his burden of concern. Dr. DuBois said further, Dr. Roberta laid this matter before his political leaders. They consulted for two long weeks and finally decided that any support or appearance of support from the N. A. A. C. P. would be unwise. Now, to put it mildly, this statement is founded purely on the editor's fertile imagination, together with the exaggerated idea of the importance of his support. I offer a pointbillent denial of the truth of his statement. As a matter of fact, the importance of the matter was not contained in the actual support of the candidate to the Crisis, and the N. A. A. C. P. but it was rather in the saliva attitude taken by the organization and its officers in a situation that looked to the advancement of the colored people. The N. A. A. C. P. had neither the power to elect or defeat. It was simply the question of a reversal of policy on part of official heads of the organization. "Under the circumstances," wrote Dr. DriBolso, "the only thing that the Crisis could do was to publish Dr. Roberts' picture and vote for him." That is strange, or, rather, "informing" information. How is it that the Crisis could find nothing to say before the election and yet can find so much to say after the election? "Can you beat it?" "The whole matter shows a lack of sincerity on part of the N. A. A. C. P., the Crisis, and their official heads. In conclusion, I trust that I may be permitted the selflession that if Dr. DuBolso has a real desire to be of genuine service to the race with which he is forced to indict himself, he should lay aside his double role of cynic and critic and get down from his pedestal and try to be one of us instead of one among us."

H ROBERTS *Former Candidate for Congress* 8 Families, Made Destitute By Fire, Needing Assistance Christmas brought little cheer to the eight large families who occupied the apartments at 182 West 135th street. A fire of mysterious origin burnt out the entire house early Christmas Eve morning and the occupants lost everything excepting the few clothing they had on their backs. In one apartment of six rooms there lived five grown up people and three little children. All of them were forced into the scantily clad and the children were barefooted. A kind friend gave a couple of dollars for shoes for the children. In another apartment a mother had given birth to a child only a few hours before the fire started. They were given temporary shelter across the street at the 135th street N. M. C. A. and later removed to the home of friends. Those who made me were: Mrs. Mae Matthews, her mother children; Andrew Ruffin and family; C. Robinson; Mr. Jensen; Mrs. Royal, her daughter and four little children; Mrs. Florence Merriweather; Mrs. Shepard; and Mrs. Hill. On the first floor the Porto Rican barber shop and the Bessie Smith dress shop were completely destroyed. Contributions of clothing, money or food for the fire of this fire are situated by the Age. Any contributions will be duly acknowledged and turned over to these families who are now living with relatives and friends. College Women Organize Four State Clubs, With Strong Group in New York The National Association of College Women was formed under the direction of the College Alumnae Club of Washington, D C in April, 1923. Through the efforts of its president, Miss Lucy D Slowy, and its sectional directors, Mrs. Lillian Alexander of New York City, Miss Anne E. Crosthawe of St. Louis, Mrs. Robertam Cuthbert of Chicago, and Miss Saddle Daniel of Washington, it is now engaged in the extensive 'program of organizing college alumnae clubs in various sections of the country. Four new local organizations have been perfected. In February, 1923, the Chicago branch was formed with Mrs Robertam Cuthbert as president. Lake in May, 1924, the college alumnae of Delaware, at the call of Mrs Helen Grosley, formed a state organization with Mrs Grosley as president. On October 27, the president of the National Association, Miss Slowe, and the sectional director of the East, Mrs. Alexander, organized a New York branch consisting of twenty-five members Miss Mabel Byrd, of the local New York Y W C A., was chosen temporary president of this organization and Miss Margaret Smith, temporary secretary. On November 22, a club consisting of more than thirty members was formed in Baltimore. Mrs. Vivian Cook is the temporary president, Mrs. Erma Davis vice-president, Miss Dorothy Davis, secretary. Colored Architect In Competition To Draw $5,000,000 House Plans Los Angeles, Calif.

Andrew Memorial Hospital Is Banqueted Tuskegee Institute Ala.-On Wednesday evening of last week, one hundred of the officers, teachers and friends of Tuskegee Institute gathered in the Teachers' Dining Hall at a stag dinner in honor of Dr. Burgess H. B. Hibble Jr. who succeeded Dr. John A. Kenney as medical director of the John A. Andrew Hospital of Tuskegee Institute. Officers still were among the earliest workers of the Institute, who shared the labor of Dr. Washington, in its establishment. Joined with the more recent arrival at the Institute to expel those who capitulated and to oledge their support in the discharge of the large responsibilities that have come to him in connection with this outstanding unit for the promotion of health among Negroes. Dr. Dibble entered upon his duties as medical director last September, after service at the United States Veterans Hospital, No. 91, for Negro soldiers at Tuskegee as acting chief of surgical service. In assuming charge of the Institute Hospital, Dr. Dibble was returning to the field in which he had served for almost three years as assistant to Dr. Kenner, who had served the Institute for more than twenty-four years as medical director. As chairman of the committee on arrangements, A. P. Mack, president of the Local Tuftsgeorge Alumni Association, had quietly pride all plans for the testimonial so that Dr. Dibble was ignorant of the entire affair until two of his friends asked him to go to a special dinner at the Teachers' Dining Hall. Arriving, he a host of his co-workers and friends assembled in his honor and anticipating an evening of good fellowship and a tastefully prepared menu. The inspiration of the events was apt set forth in a quatrain from Edgar L. Guest on the menu card; "It's a mighty fine thing, my fellows. For a fellow just to lay. His hand upon your shoulder. In a friendly sort of way." With this suggestion the "Gah Fest," as it was called on the card, began and kept up until the last course was served, the last speech was made, and the last light turned out on the scene. Aside from its appeal to the palate special feature of the menu was the concentration of its ample quantity in a few brief courses, that was in itself stimulating to quip and jest and repaece. After the dinner came the speechmaking. Mr. Mack was to masterst. Abounding in quaint whimsicalities, his introduction of each speaker was pointed, illumination and suggestive, and it was, an easy thing for the most inexperienced to make a speech thereafter. But no one tried to make the speech. The point was to let Dr. Dibble know the esteem in which he is held by all of his abilities and to assure him of united and wholehearted support in maintaining the high standards of the hospital, and extending its influence and usefulness to all parts of the country. It was impossible to restrain the characteristic jests about doctor's fees and the presence of an undertaker in the company, seated not far away from the doctor, pointed many another suggestive decision. It always there, was the word of appreciation, of confidence of esteem and support. It was a tribute to the honor quest of the occasion to all those who share in this manifestation of loyalty and cheer. In response Dr. Dibble referred to the benefits of his association with Dr. Keeney. He paid tribute to the great service rendered the medical profession by the organization and conduct of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society. He also expressed his appreciation for the many indications of confidence that had been manifested toward him in his contact in the homes of the teachers and the institute. After thankking his friend, he states that this formal expression of their will will pledge himself anew to the work of his profession in the service of Tuskegee Institute, and of the Negro race. For two months before entering actively upon hi duties at Tuskegee, Dr Dibble made an extended survey of the most prominent hospitals of the country including visits to the Mayo Brothers' Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, the Bellevue and Roosevelt Hospitals, and the Rockefeller Institute, all of New York. Omega Psi Phi Holds 13th Conclave In Washington Washington, D.C.-Dr. J W F Rowen, president of Gammon Theological Seminars, Atlanta, Ga., in a keynote address, "Young men of brain and conscience to the force," formally opened the sessions of the thirteenth annual conclave of the Ongua Psi Phi fraternity Sunday afternoon in Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard University. Speaking of the new tendency in education and science to recognize the younger educated group of colored men, he said: "The race with a conscience dominated by brain, will conquer in the struggle of life. A conscience that points without quarering to the truth and points to that which is honorable and upright makes for manhood. It is manhood rather than color that counts for the future. I believe that homogeneity of thought and sentiment and purpose among all races of all ages with conscience, will be the solution of all problems that annoy and prey upon our hearts. Dr. C. H. Marshall Jr. presided over the sessions. An invocation was delivered by the Rev. L. I. Griggs. Dr. Stanley Durker, president, extended attention to himself, and he declared the way to future racial progress was through the development of the mental and spiritual life of the Negro. Response to the welcome address was delivered by John W. Love. Dr. William Sturt Nelson spoke of "The Negro and the world vision declared the Negro like the rest of the world, must create to think racially but rather internationally, in terms of humanity "Art and science," he said, "move uncheck ed over racial and national boundaise. It is only by depths of training and in the schools of America, not in the schools of the N. is to prove equality with the higheres of mankind." He stated that in old recent travels in Europe. He had noted the spread of propaganda against the American/Negro, and emphasized the necessity for broad calling the truth about the Negro. Recollections for the members of the fraternity and their friends given at the Rhode Island avenue home of the fraternity, at Howard University, and at the Lincoln, Colohade, marked an important part of the program. wherie, home, at Arlington. Vermont, to be. With the sorcerer, and to make the scholarship presentation to Miss. Bennett. Mrs. Bennett declared achievement of greatness to be the panache, and to be said she, "is the solution to any problem, whether it be the problem of being born a millionaire, of being born poor, of being a Frenchman, a German, a Caucasian or a Negro. Growth in greatness raises the individual above the masses, and the individual below the masses, and imposes limitations, regardless of what those conditions may be." Another enjoyable feature of the evening was the rendition of musical numbers by several accomplished artists. Mrs. Florence Cole Talbert, soprano, of Chicago and Detroit, sang two numbers, accompanied by Miss Beatrice Lewis of Washington; Miss Lydia Mason, pianist, of New York City, holder of a $1,000 Fellowship at the Juilliard Musical Foundation, played a solo; and Mrs. Charlotte Murray, tutor, of New York City, played a gritty, with Miss Lewis at the piano. A short welcoming speech was given in the beginning by Mrs. Addie W. Hunton of Brooklyn.

The trustees, teaching class, students and citizens witnessed the presentation which overwhelmed the recipient with joy and brought tears to his eyes J H Purks, superintendent of schools complimented Moreland's splendid record by stating that during the 28 years that Moreland had served as juniors not once had he been amused on any duty, had never been reproved by any teacher, nor had any unkind word spoken to him.

R. Mojon, president, on January 1, 1925. This is seventeen less than in 1923, when 33 were lynched, and 41 less than in 1922, when the victims numbered 57. Nine of those lynched were taken from hands of the law, six from jails, seven from officers of the law outside of jails. There were 45 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Two women, one white and one colored, were among those thus saved. Eight of these preventions of lynchings were in Northern States, and 37 in Southern States. In 36 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. Judge Orders Police Held For Assault Judge Orders Police Held For Assault three colored policemen were complainants in the Washington Heights Court against Fred Ewert, a taxicab driver, on Tuesday, but Magistrate McQuade dismissed the charges against Ewert and ordered the officers held for trial, fixing bail at $1,000 each. The policemen are Harold Peace of 100 West 141st street; Leonidas Newsome of 266 West 154th street; and Gerard Bevans of 569 Bloomingdale Road, Staten Island, Peace and Newswome, with Mrs. Peace and another woman, were riding through Lenox avenue in Peace's car when there was a collision with Ewert's taxicab. The controversy that followed developed into an altercation, which officers charged Ewert with using a jack and a weapon. In the court, after hearing two white witnesses, George Schaeffer of 368 Lenox avenue and Ellis Lakine of 77 East 110th street, Judge McQuade dismissed the case against Ewert and ordered a countercharge of assault uttered against the policemen. According to some of those familiar with the case, it is asserted that the court's action showed evidence of bias and prejudice, and that the testimony on which he acted was not in accord with facts in the case. It is alleged that Judge McQuade gave credence to the testimony of the testimony, as a result of which the colorged police officers are placed in a false light before the public. The patrolmen assert that their justification is certain and that it is possible other legal action may follow. WHY NOT GET THE BEST? When It Costs No More Broadway AUTO School BENJAMIN P.

Many colored children from Harlem and other sections of the city were among the hundreds made happy by the white Elkstat their lodge rooftops downtown on West 43rd street. Many tickets had been distributed in Harlem, and all who applied were given an ample supply of toys and foodstuffs. Assemblyman-Elect 'Grenthal And Counsellor Irwin Kurtz On Christmas morning, Abraham Grenthal, Assemblyman elect from the 19th Assembly District, acted the part of Santa Claus to the poor children of his district. He made his headquarters at corner of 184th street and Lenox avenue, and distributed more than a thousand toys, packages of candy and fruit. Irwin Kurtz, counsel to the Harlem Board of Commerce, assisted him in the distribution. The children were indeed very happy. Someone asked Mr. Grenthal why he did not have his name on the truck which held the presents. He replied that his "joy in life was in making the lives of the poor less miserable, and as far as he could bring joy into them. It did not make any difference who made the gifts as long as the purpose was served." He also said he was far happier in doing what he did than the children who were the recipients of the gifts. Christmas Fund For Harlem's Poor The Christmas Fund for Harlem's Poor broke all former records in the accomplishments of its undertakings. Hundreds more of deserving white and colored families were remembered this year, because contributions both, in cash and commodities were plentiful. Frank and Myers, dry goods dealers, 470 Lenox avenue, donated large quantities of valuable toys while other similar donations made hundreds more of poor children happy on Christmas. Other groups of poor children were made happy through gifts of candies and a cherished treat to a morning vaudeville performance at the New Dougisa Theatre. Manager Mann gave this theatrical treat to the children. A full and accurate report of the Christmas work will be rendered later. President, Mrs. Lucille Randolph, Director Guilford M. Crawford, and all fund workers wish to thank the generous friends and public for helping to make this Christmas charity the success it was. The latest contributors to the fund were Congressman Ogden L. Mills, $25; Benj. F. Thomas $5, Congressman Royalf H. Weller $10, Frank and Myers, $5 collection from Mme. Inez Thorpe $7.75; Sidney Schoenfeld, butcher, 70 Lenox avenue, $1 North Harlem Community Council at P. S. 139 North Harlem Community Council played Santa to more than one thousand children in Harlem. Prior to the Christmas holidays the North Harlem Community Council began a drive for subscriptions for presents for the kildies and baskets for the needs. Through the energetic efforts of the Camp Fire Girls, the organization collected in the local theatres, the Lincoln, the Gem and the Renaissance, as well as from local merchants, and Knights of Columbus, sufficient cash, toys and food to gladden the hearts of fifty needy families and more than one thousand kiddies. Through the courtesy of the management of the Renaissance Theatre two entertainments were given by the Council to the kiddies where on Christmas Day, toys and sweets were given to more than one thousand children. The North Harlem Community Council wishes to thank these agencies, and its many well wishers for their aid in making so many families and children happy A Young Organization of Women Doing Xmas Charity The Myrtle Anderson Women's League, that was organized only a few months ago, has done some real work in helping the poor and unfortunate at Christmas time. On Christmas Day, baskets were delivered to make glad the hearts of five-three people. These baskets contained groceries, canned goods, bread, whole hams, vegetables and fruit. They never forgot the little tots who do not know what it is to have Santa Claus to give them new clothes on Christmas. New shoes and underwear was bought for the children and at least fifteen children were gladdened by a visit of Santa from this League. Shoes and clothing were also given to several grown-ups. Two baskets containing many good things to eat were especially made up and sent to The Katy Lerguson Home. Cash money was given to relieve a family that was burned out on Christmas Day. There were a few faithful members who worked ardouously to do this work. During the week before Christmas the League conducted a Christmas sale of handmade novelties at the beauty parlor of Mrs Lucile Randolph on 135th street. The novelties and gifts that were on sale were made by Mrs A A Lesesne Howard, secretary of the League, and Mrs Laura Taitt, supervisor of the sewing class. These two ladies worked faithfully for the sale. The money received from the sale went to swell the fund for the Christmas baskets. Mrs. Minnie Miller used her car and delivered the haskets on Christmas Day. Miss Ida Colston was chairman of the investigating committee who sent the list of families to be helped. Others who worked in this effort were Miss Alice Laws, Mrs. Vashti Gobbs, Mrs. Anna Lenhardt, Miss Marie I Burke, Mrs Victoria Ross, Mrs. Anna Upton, Mrs M J DesVerney and Att'y Myrtle B Anderson, president The League feels grateful to Mrs Lucile Randolph for the use of her place of business for the Christmas Sale, and to Mrs Ilaime Trotman and Miss Marguerite Robinson who made a few gifts for the sale. The president thanks the entire committee and all who a retest.

The scale of wages in most of the unskilled occupations has declined and many of the! skilled trades have felt a falling off of ho- nuses, or a dechne in the number of days em- ployed. ‘The white collar workers who only participated to a slight extent in the pros- perit? engendered by the war, have return- ‘ed to normality, and the same rate of pay as prevailed in pre-war times. | “Despite the «reduced earning power which tras been forced upon the wage sarners, the amount they are obliged to pay to keep 2 roof over their heads, has not been reduced to any appreciable extent. In not a few tases the rents exacted have continued to clitnb, whenever the property has experienc- eda change of oynersiip, whether the change has been genume or only nominal. (he rent laws passed by the legislature to prevent rent profiteering have failed of their purpose 1n keeping rents down to a fair ba- sis. This failure has been largely due to the law of supply and demand, the demand for habitations so largely exceeding the sup- ply, that the tenants have bidden against oie another im the effort to secure desirable npartments. The anly result of this exaction of enor- mous profits on the part ot the owners and agents trom tenants whe pay entirely tov large a propertion ai ther earnings for rents, will lic to make the conditions toc burdensome fur existence When too great apart nf the worker's earnings goes for rent f ye is bound to retrench in his expenditure: for other necessities.

Negro Business League. In order to successfully initiate and carry on Busiziess enterprises, it is necessary that qhe race should develop and susiain a group, of well trained men and wanien, versed in Dusiness practise. and the technical opera: ‘tion of commercial transactions. This, tech- nical vaequaintance with > business , affairs may be gained by practical experience or by-technical training in the schools. A com- bination of instruction with practice ig apt tg bring about the best results... -- - - ‘Basiness of any kind can rarely be con- ducted with any kind of success in a happy- go-lucky or haphazard manner. System of some sort is necessary in any kind of busi- ness, if the best results are to be achieved. The right kind of systery for the appropriate pusiness is not hard to find out in advarice, and when opce determined upon it should be adhered to with such modifications as experience may dictate. A system of any Kind demands an acourate accounting {pr receipts and expenditures, so tHat it may be apparent at a glance whether the business is conducted at a loss or a profit. In making up a budget of overhead ex pense, the cost of advertising should be in cluded as a necessary item, the same as ren! and clerk hire. The time has passed when the world wilf wear 2 path to the shop o' the unknown man who sells a superior ar ticle. Nowadays, the world has to be edu: cated to the fact that the article in questios is in fact “superior,” and must be told as tc the particular points in which such superior ity 1s shown. Then the name and the ad dress of the retailer should be made so plain that “he who reads may run,” and know exacly where to stop and the price that-h should pay. Many of the failures of the past year ma; be traced to a lack of system in the conduc of our various business enterprises or to thi failire to advertise sufficiently and in th Jright way. Other failures may be ascribe to a departure from the original lines o Thich the enterprise was ptenned an 1 branching out too widely into foreign fields | requiring greater capital than the promoter ‘| possessed.

This is as trae in the field 6f politics and government, as in other branches of human activity. The Re- publican party has been Feturned to power for anuther lease of four years, not because of ats geal record during the past but large Te on account of the weakness of ity oppon ents. devertheless, this renewed lease of power affords the epportumty for the party to redeem its pledges to the people and to get hack to the Isic principles upon which it was founded. : : During the next four years the Republi- can administration, through its executive ane the national legistature, will Haye the oppor- tumty to regain the cpnfidence of the Negro voters. so sorely tried and almost forfeited cance the days of Thendore Reasevelt, Ths dives not necessarily involve spectal legisla- tion or special privileges for thes group. but At dues imply their inclusion im the ranks of voters and citizens ona plane of equal rights and equal opportunity, ‘They ask for no more than other atizens and they should Jbe granted no less The Republican party and the administra. tion can help bing about this equality of | rights and opportumty by removing afl bar.

If so, it-is.bound to bring about fruitful’ and beneficial reaults, that will help to the betterment of. humanity and -the, evolution of true Americanism. CHURCH PROGRAM NEEDED One of the pressing needs oF ine sis, = a real constructive program for the. Negro Church, According to the editor of the Christian Recérder, the two most potent factors in forming miodern public opinion are the pulpit and the press, the church and the newspaper. While the pulpit has not the monopoly enjoyed by it in former days among our people, it still remains a powerful influence. How this influence can best be utilized as a stimulus to the upward and on- ward march of the race in the scale of civil: ized progress is well worth discussion. According to the Recorder, there are about fifty thousand churches among our people ‘These churches have almost as many minis ters and a much greater number of officer’ Their doors are open at least once a week and some of them as often as every day Each week, it is estimated, at lets five mil lion people enter the doors of these fifty thousand churches. Here they listen to thi expression of opinions, mostly on the sub ject of religion. Information is sometime given on other subjects, such as dusiness education, politics, ete., but the primary pur pose of the church 1s religious, pertaining t the worship of the Creator and the carrying out of His commands. . Without detracting in the least from thr work of the church in teaching the precept of Christianity, as formulated by the variou creeds and isms, it is also the duty of th church to exert its influence m teaching 1 |members how to live, as well as how to dre Its program for the advancement of Chris |tiamty and the redemption of the heathe should also include the way of righteou Jand ‘useful hyving for all of its menibershiy Lit shonld teach men and wonten how te b helpful in therr counmunity and of service | J others as well as to themselves. | The value of education, of business. © politics and the like should all be imclude Jin the factors that go to make up the dail ‘course of living.

White, Paul Robeson and Countee P, Cullen’ have promised to contribute, Larry Estridge, who took the colored middleweight title from Panama Joe Gans last summer was so badly beaten by Paul Berlenbach of Astoria, L. L., in the main bout at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, December 26, that the contest had to be stopped before the second round was over. The decision was awarded to the white fighter as a technical knockout. Berlenbach has the reputation of being a powerful hitter and he lived up to his reputation on Friday night. Many who saw the fight were of the opinion that Estridge used poor judgement when he decided to slug with the Astoria fighter, for he was outweighed by twenty pounds and has never able to take punishment as most of the other colored fighters can. Alinost the first blow landed by the Antorla fighter broke up Estridge's defense. Before the first round was over, it was apparent that he was a poor match for his opponent. Early in the second right cross to the chin sent him down for the count of eight. Estridge hardly knew what he was doing when he caught the ropes and pulled himself up. He was unable to put up any defense and the referee wisely stopped the contest, declaring Berlenbach the winner. National Negro Baseball League Is Automatically Disbanded As Foster Resigns Chicago, Ill.—According to reports prevalent here the National Negro Baseball League has disbanded, due to the resignation of Andrew "Rube" Foster, president and czar of the organization. Mr. Foster's resignation came as a result of a fight now going on between himself and J. Tenny Blount of Detroit, former owner of the Detroit Stars. In a series of articles by Blount in a Pittsburgh paper, charges arm to the effect that since 1919 when the National Negro Baseball League was organized, Foster was in complete control of the agairs and bankrupted member clubs to make money for himself. In addition to being president and manager of the league, he was owner and manager of a Chicago baseball team and ran a baseball booking agency. One of his rules was that all member teams in the league must book their games through his agency and that he would get a commission of 10 per cent on the gross receipts for each game played. According to Mr. Blount. Foster was so greedy for this 10 per cent booking fee that he did not consider the expenses of the member teams. For instance, it is alleged that he would prefer a team having gate receipts of $6,000 and expenses of $5,000 than gate receipts of $3,000 and expenses of $500. This policy is said to have practically bankrupted four clubs in the league, and caused Mr. Blount to lose so much money with his team that he disbanded it. For doing this, Mr. Foster is alleged to have threatened to break the owner of the Detroit team. What will become of the ballplayers in the Western League is problematical. It is very likely that many of them will come East and join in with teams of the Eastern Colored League. The teams in Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis will probably run as independent organizations during the coming season.

Ladies and gentlemen who were guests for their first time at Happy Rhone's Orchestra Club were unable to point out "Happy himself" owing to the fact that everyone in the club was happy himself or herself, for it was the beginning of a Happy New Year. Baby Banks, the juvenile vaudeville star, helped to usher in the New Year by being an added attraction at the Capitol Palace. Club Such a cojiceide was unexcelled on Broadway or Rue Blanche. In addition to the sweet little entertainer, Stanley Brown, Jackie Brown and Corrine Harris were also featured, while Johnny Nitt was on the program for the Saturday morning breakfast dance. "Very Good Edgé" and "Harold Washington, stewards at Jerry Presley's Royal Garden, served fried chicken free to the patrons of the breakfast dance New Year's morning. The sweet voiced singer-Cleantine Jones; the clever dancer Josephine Thompson; and dainty Bobby Coles, who was a sensation last year at the De Luxe Club, were the entertainers, and the merry couples danced by the music of W. H. Wright's Royal Syncopators. Those who danced in Small's Cafeteria seemed to be really enjoying themselves and Johnny Davis sang "Cakewalking Babies From Home." His song must have been broadcast for at the stroke of twelve a large crowd was outside waiting to get in white. Maude Woodson sang "Lea For Two" "Sis," Harris featured "Words" which of course were set to music. The Orlen Club was crowded also, and strangely, yet truly, Ganasa Enthusiastic Crowd Sees St. Christopher Beat Va. Union Team Coach Bradford Presents New Red and Black Machine Which Revives Amateurism St Christopher Club defeated a team from Virginia Union University, 41-24 at the New Star Casino on Tuesday night, December 30. The game was witnessed by the largest crowd that has attended an amateur basketball game in Harlem in two years, and from the enthusiasm of the crowd St Christopher has regained the public favor. The game was advertised so start at nine clock but most of the fans took this to mean ten and did not get there until that time. But once they were appalled for Retiree Cyr, Hiuswould call time as it had been advertised and when many of the spectators arrived it was almost over. In justice to the athletic authorities of Virginia Union it should be stated that the team from Richmond was not composed entirely of varsity men three of them from last year's varsity but the others were rookies. This year's varsity has not yet been selected Coach Charlie Bradford has a very light team for his machine this season, but several of its members already give promise of becoming stars. The New Yorkers showed much more teamwork than their opponents and were more accurate in their shooting. J Watson was the star for the local team, making ten field goals and a goal. The playing of Napolitan Nappy) and Bouchet Day was also good. Hill at center also did exceptionally well (carder and J Brown did the best work for the Vargman). Following the game dancing was enjoyed by most or those present music being furnished for this occasion by the John C. Smith Orchestra. The hump of the teams was as follows. Referee Chris Huswould Score- Miss Louise Lewis Jack McVey To Fight Feature Bout At The New Manhattan S. C. A new boxing club will open on Harlem on Thursday, January 8. The club will be located at the new Manhattan Casino and will be under the Nanco sang "All Alone," while Inez Wallace featured "Eliza" and Lawrence Balk sang "Please" in his most pleasing style. Further proof that it was a night of pleasure is the fact that Elmer Hillbard, popular as "Jazz-bo" from the "Sim Sun" in Chicago, was the stellar attraction at the Nest Club, supported by Mary Stafford, who sang, "Nobody Knows What a Red Head 'Mama Can Do,' Flea Gray's feature was "Wacka-Do," while George Staten proved with his smart Russian dance specialty, that he was a real artist. Julia Hodges from the Middle West was a music entertainer engaged to delight Herman's Inn patrons. Georgia 'Kelly and Helen Lee remanded the top pitchers. On the contrary there was such a riot of fun at the Club Cabaret that Edith Young sang "Morning, Won't You Ever Come" Round? which so impressed the happy couples that Robert H Holl, the popular baritone, sang "If Love Were All". The graceful dancer Mildred Brown featured "I Lost My Head Over You". At Philadelphia Jimmy's Club, Kate Mardelle, who recently married, was singing "Little Somebody of Mine" and Broadway Eddie was singing "Tea For Two", while Qhie Smith's Orchestra featured "San". In conclusion, The Bammy Club broke its record for crowds and entertainment—it being too early to break resolutions. Take the other clubs and inns, Bammy exceeded its quota of beautiful young women and handsome men. Therefore, all who found diversi- ment in the pleasure resorts up- town on New Year's five agreed that the most fun was in Harlem. Those who were not there do not know what they missed. direction of Sam Wallach A good card has been arranged for the opening with Jack McVey, popu- lar Harlem welterweight, fighting in the feature bout. McVey's opponent will be Vick Hirsch, who recently gave him a close battle in a Brook- lyn ring. According to the matchmaker mixed bouts will be featured at this club, and the prices of admission will be from $1 to $3. Beginning October 11th SAT.

This applies especially to students of the voice, as Otto Bohannan himself a singer of considerable excellence, and a teacher of voice culture with an established reputation, will write particularly of the art of singing and the development of the voice, under the general term, "Vocal Technique." Mr. Bohannan will devote special paints and care to the answering of queries sent in by students of music, concerning vocal difficulties, puzzling problems, or any other phase of their work concerning which information is desired. The introductory article appears in this issue, and others will follow as regularly as possible. There will be no attempt to usurp the work of the teacher, and there will be charge for answering any of the queries submitted to Mr. Bohanan.

THE LISTENER'S EAR Short Talks on Vocal Technic By OTTO BOHANAN In these articles we shall attempt to explain in a simple and interesting way the elemental principles of vocal tech. that are of interest not only to the student, but also to that large and important class of music lovers who comprise the literature public. Questions of general interest about this line may be submitted by our readers and answers will be published from time to time. It has long been a matter of concern to the enlightened auditor who attends our musical entertainments and song recitals that most of the subtleties of vocal art seem to leave the audience actually unmoved, while it is often stirred to frenzied applause by the most palpable crudities of vocal technic. It has been noted that the offenders in this recital were not confined to any particular class of music, just as often found among the highly educated persons of professional calling as among the most ignorant and unlettered layers of music. All show the same lack of discrimination in the matter of when and where to applaud. The necessity for doing something to correct this condition must, therefore, be readily apparent to everyone. Our artists cannot reach their greatest growth and development unless there are corresponding growth and development in references along the line of discrimination and appreciation for what is worth while. Most of us believe that the Negro is destined to make a most significant contribution to the musical life of America. But if this is ever to be realized the task cannot simply be left in the hands of a few people set apart as students of music professional musicians and critics while the great mass of us looks on apathetic and indifferent.

GRAY of Gray's Palace Conservatory of Music 60 West 130th Street Extends to his pupils and friends the greetings of the season The reviewer of musical events for the newspapers, ordinarily known as a "critic," come in for some hard knocks occasionally, especially if his opinion of the efforts of active musicians is not in perfect accord with that of the musician themselves. In such a case it is the usual thing for the disgruntled artist to discount the words of the critic by the assertion that the critic is ignorant, inable, unprepared, or any other of a dozen other terms which would prove the imbecility of the writer. Another angle is taken by some disinterested individual whose sympathy is expressed in the thought that an individual has devoted all of time and effort and expended match money with the best teachers available, only to have the critic write a dozen words and destroy hope and render futile a life of labor. Edward Cushing, music critic of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, wrote last Sunday on "Musical Criticism: An Annual Plaintiff," and he treats this particular phase of the subject in the following words to which nothing need be added by the writer of "In The Realm of Music": is true that many may give a large portion of their lives to the development of their musical talents and then receive no consideration from the critic, not the critic's business. If lifetime of voice culture fails to produce anything but an ability, to sing a pitch in seven different keys, it is the critic or no critic, a lifetime has been wasted. If one were to take an account of the personal tragedy of every song, piano, or violin recital, would nothing by felicitation for every performer. Put matter in the critic's hand is just how adequate a man or a woman is to work in which they have devoted themselves. Madame Legato gives a tutorial of Chopin's music—the question is not does Mme Legato wish to release her teaching list through favorable notices, but, did Mme. Legato display an informing intelligence and sensitivity in her interpretation of the music, unfortunate for the performer, since, so few professional musicians are in the end bent on anything except returns from the box office. This aspect of criticism is the reportorial—it is the recording of daily events with appeared, and when aid where. But there is another and far more important purpose in musical criticism—a purpose which perhaps is only limited to newspapers for which the critic writes 'all the public that reads' the thing that lies nearest to the critic's heart, the thing that his work, that makes it possible to hear the odium which pursuit of an ideal. more nearly to do with the music itself and is concerned with the performance. It is a matter of sentiment, of mood, of something vaguely called truth. It is something difficult for the person who realizes it in his mind with a perceptible something that is not recognized with the mind, with the heart something that must be grasped intuitively and exquisitely something in the almost mystical revelation of universal empathy to the name of art. It is that which in music, in literature and in nonnographic arts such a ponstion and revealing light on joy and on our most obvious and our most secret passions is necessary, and in his function as such the critic he artist. For the critic with the weapons of his literary trade may also the hidden springs from which come such overmastering visions of truth. The critic, too, may occasionally present in an intimate yet manner the ardor or delight and fear that give to life its ultimate purpose. He has not the magic suggestiveness of music as his command, the lesser charm of words and of a sensitiveness perhaps greater than that of the man who has not devoted himself exhaustively to the pondering of moral problems. But there remain many who see in the critic only a person of inferior prose and no taste, a person completely unified to his work. This must be the fate of any one who undertakes the hardly grateful duty of coming public performers of their merits and deserts. Someone's toes and he stepped out and that someone is bound to resent it. 1. *cristemus of Mme. Sordino's singing and of Mme.

New York Music Week Association Ready To Issue Test Pieces For Its City-Wide Series Of Music Contest Isabel Lowden, director of the New York Music Week from 20 Madison avenue, New York City announces that the Association, owing to reorganization work which has been necessary by the growth and development of the work, has not able to complete the printing of the Association's Syllabus for 25 tests which precede the annual Music Week, May 3 to 10, round for a program of the test pieces has become so great that the issuing of the list.

In this way none of the club members can in any way find out how the other club members actually stand as the club members make out their own reports and put them into the sealed balloon box. This secret balloon is accomplished by putting the ballot box in this local bank during the last period of the campaign, and it is put under lock and seal. The club members put their reports into sealed envelopes, with only their names on the outside and deposit same in the balloon box. The ballot box will not be opened until the last day of the campaign and not then until all of the club members have reported. Under the system there is positively no way of anyone knowing what any of the club members are doing as they do not report even to the campaign manager during that period. The credits are totaled and determined by the judge of the campaign, who have already been selected from among the most highly respected business men of the community, and whose names are published in the opening announcement.

Detroit Census Discovers Colored Woman, Aged 119 Detroit Mich.-The discovery' of a Negro woman residing in the city of Detroit, who claims the ripe old age of 119 years, is one of the developments of the census work being undertaken by het Stark Department of Labor and Industry which is studying the effects of the migration on Michigan social and industrial. This woman was located by one of the field workers of the United Civic League through which organization the census of Detroit is colored population is being taken. Rebecca O'Neal, who resides at 4809 Roppe; has been in Michigan since September, coming here from Marion County, Georgia, with her baby daughter, Mary, who is 56 years of age. She was born in Virginia but at an early age was sold as a slave into Georgia. She was married to Henry O'Neal when she was about 18 years of age and bore eleven children. These children she knows to have died but our have not been heard from for about forty years. One of these four would be 100 years old, still living Mary who is the only known child living, is deferred and cannot aid in the support of her aged mother. Prior to their coming to Michigan the O'Neills resided in Atlanta with a nephew who came to Detroit during the summer, later sending for the aged couple.

Austin, Tex.-More than $366,000 000 have been wasted in education and the bringing up of school children since 1900, according to figures compiled by Godias J. Drolet, a figure- ist, and released by the National Technological Association. Mr. Krause computes that during the past 25 years there have been 122,000 deaths in school children from tuberculosis between the ages of 5 and 14 in the United States. It is estimated that the public schools spent on an average of $75 to $100 per pupil on the education of these 122,000 children. The cost of these education this amounts to $810,000. In addition it is estimated that the parents and families of these children, previous to their death, had adopted an annual minimum of $250 for years for feeding, clothing and sheltering—them, this total being $305,000. No allowance is made for money spent for medical, nursing, and institutional care, which a large percentage of them received. "Inasmuch tuberculosis is an easily preventable disease, particularly in school children," says Mr. Drolet, "a loss of such an immense sum on wasted education, and wasted training of childhood, to say nothing of blasted hopes and the additional tremendous loss in unrealized production with the communities in which the children lived, seems almost criminal. One bright ray of hope concerning tuberculosis in children, however, is the very great decline that has taken place since them since the organization of the tuberculosis Association in 1902. In that year, 62 out of every 100,000 school children under 15 years of age in the United States were dying of tuberculosis. In 1921, only 28 of this group of children in every 100,000 were dying of this preventable disease. This tremendous reduction has largely been brought about by the campaign against tuberculosis and sponsored by the National Tuberculosis Association, and financed by the annual sale of Christmas Seal. Birthday of the Late Mme. Walker Celebrated By Agents and Friends December 23 was the birthday of the late Madam C J Walker. To commemorate her 50th birthday memorial services were held in many national capitals, where she rose from obstacle to wealth and power, leading the list. Ms. Walker to which she gave the first thousand dollars toward its present building, services were held and an enlarged service was presented to the Association before large audience present to revere her Mrs. Frances Berry Coston, club woman, teacher and scholar, and close personal friend of Madam Walker, autographed her memory and paid glowwishers to her life. The Y W C J held special veneration services and many family friends and employees of the Madam C J Walker Mfc. Co attended throughout the country. December was celebrated by Madam C. J Wallace's clubs and individuals doing as she sheds Christmas time, giving baskets filled with food and clothing to poor and needy milies; fruits, candies, nuts and joys of orphan children, coal and wood for her; she needed them, and in other ways helping the Good Samaritan and bringing a ray of sunshine at Christmas time.
