THE MUSEUM OF ART AND COLLECTIONS 17th ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY Held in New York City, December 27 - 31, 1924 Town Hall Filled At Meeting For Hampton-Tuskegee Dr. Fosdick Declares White People Must Realize Fact Of Responsibility Town Hall. West 43rd street, was filled to capacity on Monday night, January 5, the occasion being the launching of a drive to raise $1,000,000 in the campaign being conducted in interest of a joint endowment fund of $5,000,000 for Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes. "Better Race Relations' was the theme of the evening, the speakers, being Dr. Robert Rt. Moton, principal of Tuskegee; Dr. J. E. Gregg, principal of Hampton; the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of Union Theological Seminary; and Rabby Stephen S. Wise. Dr. Foedick declared with eloquent emphasis that "The American people had better wake up to the fact that they have a heavy responsibility in dealing with race relationship." Continuing, he said: "There is no immoral solution of the problem such as Lynching of the Ku Klux idea, where thousands of supposedly responsible citizens put ridiculous, nighlihts and attempt to right matters. The truth is that we treat the Negro like folks. We don't want to be sued by the desensitization of modern times of this myth of the superior race. That has always existed from time immemorial." Dr. Moton referred to the decrease in lynching figures as shown by the annual report issued from the Department of Research at Tuskegee Institute, and declared that the white woman of the South have publicly declared they want no privacy for themselves that is not granted the black woman. The 50 percent decrease in lynchings, said Dr Moton, has been brought about through this stand of the southern, white women Rabbi Wise and Dr. Gregg spoke eloquently and with fine effect. Music during the exing was tarnished by the Hampton Quartet, which sang Negro Spirituals and folk songs.

He was instituted in the scarlet robes of a Priest of the Church. At the same time that he was delivering his first sermon, the congregations in 414 churches of the Roman Catholic faith, situated within the New York church were listening to the reading of his first pastoral letter. The letter was read in connection with the celebration of the Feast of the Circumcision, and in this document Cardinal Hayes urge the dedication of 1925, which is also the Holy Year of Jubilee, to the instruction of children in holy living, clean thinking, reverence and obedience. "Serious-minded men are greatly disturbed and rightly so with the modern trend away from God's law in the very essentials of social order and of the observance of the moral code in public and private life," the letter reads. The New Personal Freedom Today the claim of the new personal freedom namely, to think and to do as one wills, unrestrained by standards of right and wrong of law and order bears a striking resemblance to Iustor's I will not serve; and to Adam's I will be my own God, knowing good and evil.

It is in the materializing of her dreams and visions that she sees the forming of the National Ethiopian Art Theatre and School in the Harlem community. She believes that art slay the many headed dragon of race prejudice, and it is to this end that she is consecrating her efforts in connection with the building of this art school and theatre movement. Several public efforts have been promoted by the promoters of this movement, with varying success, and it is announced now that there will be another prestigious appeal: the people of the community for mutual support through a Gela Performance Achievement Colored Immigration Officer Brings Chinese From Seattle To N.

ROYALL 21 West 134th St. Edward Fry, commonly known as "Spark Plug" was arrested by Detective James Garvey at 552 Lenox avenue late Monday evening, January 5. "Spark Plug" had been wanted by the police since November 7. On that date he is alleged to have shot Theodore Ellis and Waverly Watson at 20 West 133rd street in a fight which followed a crap game. A 46-calibre army revolver was found in his possession when arrested and according to detectives from the 16th Precinct where he was taken, the prisoner is also suspected with having been connected with a murder on 68th street some months ago. Fry has done time for assault and robbery and the police believe that in arresting him they have found the solution to a number of crimes committed in this section recently. He was given a preliminary hearing in the Heights Court on Wednesday morning and held without bail for further examination FISK ALUMNI CLUBS FROM ALL SECTIONS MEET IN NEW YORK Confer On Unsatisfactory Conditions At Fisk; Body To Work For Change Following conferences with members of the board of trustees of Fisk University, Nashville, Teun, with reference to alleged unsatisfactory conditions at that institution under the administration of President Fayette A McKenzie, and the receipt of scores of letters from present former students and teachers, the Fisk Club of Greater New York invited representatives of Fisk alumni organizations to meet in New York City on January 2 and 3 for a consideration of these matters. The invitation was accepted by a representative body of men and women, alumni of Fisk, from all sections of the country, and the first meeting was held at the 137th street branch Y W. C.

Dey has hit me hard, but I jest cudden stop." And there are many other poor, deluded creatures who have been bitten by the same bug—the chance to win at odds of 600 to 1—who will echo the man's cry. An installment collector for a furniture house, in Harlem, was taken to an Age representative and volunteered information that of all that been exceedingly difficult to make regular collections from patrons of his store who had always been prompt. And he gave as a reason the fact that so many of them have been trying to beat the "numbers" game, and have sacrificed money needed for the necessities of life in the crazy and foolish effort. But some of them are getting wise. The police are hammering away at the bankers and collectors, and it is a miserable season these gentry are experiencing. It is being brought out also that the bankers are not always paying off, but are given to evading that little duty whenever possible. They are charged with juggling the numbers which come out, or even "skipping out" for a few days. Either way, the poor victims—the players—are fleeced of their hard earned money. As a result, some of them, especially the women, are awaking to the fact that they have been pouring their money into a hole that has no bottom save in the bankers' pockets.

The entire house is alleged to have been given over to the business of playing the numbers and the proprietor had two adding machines connected in the said. His two photographers, Gertrude Cleveland of 246 West 137th street, and Eva Jordan of 231 West 143rd street, were also arrested and held jointly with the proprietor on the charge of conducting a gambling house for the playing of numbers. Reports are to the effect that the police were tipped off about the house on Saturday. On that day a large number of players are said to have made "hits." Diamond, along with other bankers, alleged to have refused to pay the winners because it was suspected that send tip had been sent out in advance as was done some time go. The winners were indignant and some went so far as to threaten the life of the banker and his collectors. Others told their troubles to the police who made the raid on Tuesday. Those arrested in the house are alleged to have been collectors who had come in to make their reports. They are charged with having policy slips in their possession.

There is an increased interest throughout Harlem. In some cases the last minute interest, because of the period drop, led club members to make several calls at the campaign office in order to get credit-for every belated subcription. That is the spirit that counts and when all your friends realize that every credit counts in making you the winner of the Buick Coach they are very anxious to help you. Just explain that the time is short and that every subscription you go after more than once retards your progress. Campaign Extended 10 Days. Although the campaign started slowly—we have now reached a thorough and wide spread interest. It has taken a while to get that interest and with three holidays—Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, the campaign has been very much retarded. Because of these delays and the fact that The New York Age is anxious to give all a fair and equal chance to win prizes worth thousands of dollars we have recided to extend the campaign 10 days. This has been done after very careful deliberation by the management of The New York Age, and we feel sure will be met with a fine response. Credits Extended Now about the credit decline. We have decided to allow the credits at the highest rate for ten days. It is really a continuation of the first period for ten days. Then the second period decline begins January 16, instead of January 7. This will extend the closing date of the campaign to Saturday, February 7 The fine interest shown by the club members and the exceptional co-operation and loyalty of all, leads us to seek our appreciation. The camaraderie has been a pleasure since its notion and will continue so to the day we feel sure We have no favorite. We wish it was consistent with business possibilities to give a knuck or a Ford to everyone. But in a sense of this kind there is but one rule to follow, and that is a fair and impartial chance for all.

From 7 o'clock in the evening until morning practically every hooch dispensary in Harlem was closed as a result of the issuing and serving of sores of search warrants, and the persistent activities of the various enforcement forces. The various hooch joints were exceedingly wary, however, as word had reached them of the impending visits to be made by officers of the law who were armed with search warrants, and it is reported that even those customers who were admitted had frequently to wait until a supply of the required liquor could be secured from the place of its caching. Supply Was Cut Down. This was because the bootleggers dared no keep their usual supply on hand in the usual stationary storage places, but had commanded helpers who were given the stuff to carry around in their pockets, and who, when a customer stepped up to the counter, stepped up also and poured into a glass whatever liquid might be called for. The result of cas's burst of police and revenue agent activity shows the steady, continued work on part of the enforcement officers would soon put all of these undersirable dumps out of business. The entire community would be benefited by such a procedure. Three Places Closed. In the meantime, three of the hooch selling places in Harlem have been forced to close door and go out of business during the past few weeks, but one new place has been opened during the same period. Two of the closed places were on Sventh avenue, the other on Lenox. Incidentally, the Lenox avenue dive was one of the most notorious, on that thoroughfare and had been the cause of numberless complaints from families and professional men living and having offices in 461 and 463, through the fact that customers of the joint would buy their vile hooch in the place and then come into the hallways and vestibules in groups and hold drinking bouts. Patients of dentists having offices in the building men and women, and tenants alike were subject to the most unpleasant and humiliating experience as a result of the location of this particular dive.

Mills, multi-millionaire congressman to be the principal speaker. Congressman Mills in his address declared that lynching was a blot on American civilization and it should be the patriotic duty of every American to stamp it out. At the same time Congressman Mills condemned lynching pointed out that in case the Dyer-Anti-Lynching Bill became a law, this law would not end lynching, as the federal officials usually are appointed from the section in which they live and would not prosecute the violators of the law in communities where the public sentiment was with them. He said that the N. A. C. P. must continue its campaign of education. Being a conservative statesman, Congressman Mills urged his hearers to "shun the demagogues and agitators" and work with those interracial organizations that are quitly trying to solve the race problem. The speaker closed his address by complimenting the colored people on the progress made by them since their emancipation from slavery. He said that while they are entitled to every right and privileged granted other Americans, he hoped that the would always deserve them. William Pickens, who made an appeal for financial support, took issue with Congressman Mills' advice to shuin agitators and declared that agitation, for a good cause was necessary. During the course of his remarks, Mr. Pickens also announced that New York City had won the scholarship offered by the Mine C J, Walker Co., to the branch raising the largest amount of money during the year.

Edge Being Fought By Kean And His Friends Newark, N. J. —The son in the recent campaign on Tonkean for U. S. Senator Senator Walter J. Edge dentally carrying on mind judging from recent events seem to have entered reliance with the dry force state through the Auto League, and to be direct guns against any Edge who has or is suspected vulnerable points. Recently, Senator Edge self-recommended George H. John Union Co., for appointment as a of Internal Revenue, but the dads so bitter and concentration that Johnston himself asked name he withdrawn and and recommended, which was done The efforts were concentrated office of the United States Justice attorney Walter G. Winne, and the one of one of his assistants, Walter Riper, was brought about on the that Van Riper was lax in the proft of violations of the problt Another campaign is being pla the removal of State Probltior Adrian G Chamberlina, of not doing his best to entitle bition All of these men are suppl Senator Edge and were appoite face through his recommendat A LIGHT ON Randolph And lines are being drawn to discute the possibility of a birth other Assistant United States D Attorney, Oliver Randolph the ordered member of U.S. Attorney's staff. It is charged that the mystery connected with the death by Randolph It is as if other members of Winnie's staff duties that are well defined and to all who have business connected that office, but that there has no anything definite as to what Kail is doing. During the campaign chaired made by Dr W G Alexander, of Negro to be elected to the State assembly, and who was an artisan porter of Kean, that Randolph was a momentary in the United States D Attorney's office that he performed duties and did not even have desk in Winnie's office. D Alexander claimed that Randolph's eclectic office is a reflection upon the race than a credit and an hour, as he the salary but performed no duties Randolph was sworn into office August 20, 1923, and in quoted as being replied to a direct question that he could not disclose the exact nature his duties, but that he handled such matters as were assigned him by U. S. Attorney Winnie. A statement ascribed one of the office attaches that Randolph had been seen in the office only since he was sworn in a year and a ago was met with flat denials to Winnie and Randolph. Both deed that frequent conferences are be which the sup of Randolph is outlined, but that there is no good pose to be served in, making a acter of that work a matter of knowledge. It seems clearly to be a case being desperately against Security through every medium aphid.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925. The gathering of two conventions of college trained men of the race, one held in Washington and the other in New York, was significant of the part that the higher education is playing in the development of the Negro in this country. Nor must the women be omitted from this consideration, for they also were represented in the meetings of the mororities, which were held at the same time. Most of the speakers at these meetings emphasized the present tendency in politics, religion and science to recognize the younger educated group, of which they formed an important part. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, in his address to the Washington convention, went so far as to declare that the race with a conscience, dominated by brain, will conquer in the struggle of life. He added that the function of conscience was to point to the truth, and in pointing to that which is honorable and upright, it makes for manhood. It is this quality of manhood, combined with education and conscience, that will count for the future development of the race. Taking the utterances of Dr. Bowen as a starting point, we have to consider its bearing on the question of securing a competent and illuminating leadership for the race, through the provision of suitable heads for the various institutions of learning necessary for the training of the younger generation. For some of these institutions, especially those of a lower grade, efficiency as an educator might properly be the determining factor in making a choice. But in the colleges and schools for higher training more than this is demanded. The head of a college for the training of colored youth should be a man of versatile genius. Not only must he be an efficient executive and educator, but he must be possessed of those qualities of mind and heart, that can develop the elements of leadership in the active minds committed to his charge. Conscience and manhood, business acumen, knowledge of human nature, the ability to win the confidence and respect of his students must all be in his armory of arts. It is rarely that the best results can be obtained from any group of students, unless the directing head of their activities is able to enlist their confidence and their respect. This cannot be done by a system of codling on the one hand or martinetism and repression on the other. A sympathetic understanding of the mental and moral needs of the students, combined with the ability to supply them is part of the essential equipment of such a head. Temperamental geniuses would be out of place in such a position. The position demands poise and well balanced character, that will not be disturbed by minor frictions nor provoke them. Such training as will produce individuals of this character can only be gained in the school of experience. It would be well for those of our college graduates who have had practical contact with the actualities of life to turn their attention to the task of evolving fit candidates to head our colleges and other institutions for higher education.

I. Frederick was cited as the first colored lawyer to conduct a case in that court. He incidentally secured a verdict for his client, the Knight of Pythias. The suit was brought on behalf of the widow of a member of the order who died holding a policy of insurance for $300. The order refused to pay because it claimed that its constitution and by-laws required that all members and insurance beneficiaries must be free from all immoral relations, otherwise the insurance is null and void. The defense was that the police holder had failed to live up to this obligation, hence the order refused to pay his widow A law suit presenting some unusual features was recently tried in the York County court, South Carolina in which N. I. Frederick was cited as the first colored lawyer to conduct a case in that court. He incidentally secured a product for his client, the Knights of Pythias. The suit was brought on behalf of the widow of a member of the order who died holding a policy of insurance for $300. The order refused to pay because it claimed that its constitution and by-laws required that all members and insurance beneficiaries must be free from all immoral relations, otherwise the insurance is null and void. The defence was that the policy holder had failed to live up to this obligation, hence the order refused to pay his widow. The argument of the colored attorney, as reproduced by the Columbia Indigent from the Yorkville Inquirer, was pitched on an unusual line. It was reported as follows: The argument of the colored attorneys, as reproduced by the Columbia Indigent from the Yorkville Inquirer, was pitched on an unusual line. It was reported as follows: Were people in the generation required to serve as one of the first drawbacks to our progress as a race, the impaired could not afford to people in the indspired fact has been and is keeping in mind Leaders of our race trailing this fact in trying to improve this condition. With this end in view the Polish society and other the indspired organizations of the colored race have relative to correct flying of our men and women. We note that people are careful to try as far as possible to keep inviolate the marriage woman. That fact is largely responsible for the high standard of morality to be found among the white people of the South as compared with some other sections. We colored people appeal to you white gentlemen to help us in our efforts to climb upward—to be decent, self-respecting, clean citizens of the greatest section of the greatest country in the world. Without your help we can go nowhere. The Knights of Pythias, argued the attorney, have tried to prove to you in the testimony in this case, that the departed member did not live up to his promises and obligations in regard to his relations with women. We have refused to pay this policy for that reason. We appeal to you to assist us in bringing our people to a higher standard. The jury deliberated but a short time before returning a verdict for the society. Of course, the reference to the high standard of morality to be found among the white people of the South was buncomb, thickly applied for its effect on the jury, given so ruthless a critic of the moral lapses of the freedmen as William Hannibal. Thomas, in his book called "The American Negro," included among the contributing causes for the conditions he described the environment and examples of Southern white men. While Mr. Frederick's argument was highly ingenious it cannot be classed as ingenuous. Some judges might have pronounced it as dishonest and against public policy, in that it annulled a contract only when it could inure an innocent party, who had no part in its violation. If the policyholder failed to give up to his contract during his lifetime, and the order had knowledge of such misconduct, it should have refused to accept further premiums and annulled the contract at that time.

It would have been more charitable to have forgotten the sins o f the deceased brother and paid the policy to the widow. While standards of morality should be set high and rigorously maintained by our religious and fraternal societies, the penalties should not be inflicted upon the innocent. Of course, the reference to the high standard of morality to be found among the white people of the South was buncomb, thickly applied for its effect on the jury. Even so ruthless a critic of the moral lapses of the freedmen as William Hannibal. Thomas, in his book called "The American Negro," included among the contributing causes for the conditions he described the environment and examples of Southern white men. While Mr. Frederick's argument was highly ingenious it cannot be classed as ingenious. Some judges might have pronounced it as dishopest and against public policy, in that it annulled a contract only when it could injure an innocent party, who had no part in its violation. If the policyholder failed to live up to his contract during his lifetime, and the order had knowledge of such misconduct, it should have refused to accept further premiums and annulled the contract at that time.

Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University for some time has been contending for a square deal for the Negro in the civil service of the Government. Over a year ago he wrote a letter to Wm. Dudley Foulke, president of the National Civil Service Reform League, in which he called attention to certain abuses in the classified service, which had the effect of excluding colored candidates for appointment. The requiring of a photograph of the applicant was held to be a device "to exclude the applicant whose face shows pigmentation." No response was received to this letter by Dr. Miller, but nearly a year later, when the public press announced complaints received against violations of the civil service regulations in connection with the Post Office department, he took occasion to write to the President, pointing out the greater evil of discrimination on account of race and color. This letter was sent to the Civil Service Commission by Rudolph Foster, Executive Clerk at the White House, and within two days Dr. Miller received the following communication from John F. Doyle, secretary of the commission.

No response was received to this letter by Dr. Miller, but nearly a year later, when the public press announced complaints received against violations of the civil service regulations in connection with the Post Office department, he took occasion to write to the President, pointing out the greater evil of discrimination on account of race and color. This letter was sent to the Civil Service Commission by Rudolph Foster, Executive Clerk at the White House, and within two days Dr. Miller received the following communication from John F. Doyle, secretary of the commission. The Commission is in receipt of your letter 1 August 15, addressed to the President and referred to this office for reply. In reply, you are informed that the general rule requiring photographs of all applicants was adopted as a means to present impersonation in examinations and to insure that the person examined is the one who reports for appointment. This requirement was prescribed only after every consideration with a view to guarding against impersonation the means theretofore employed preventing such impersonation having been found unsatisfactory and inadequate The duty of selecting and appointing with sole regard to merit and fitness devolves upon the appointing officer. The actions of appointing officers in the past have not been such as to indicate that they have made selections for other considerations than merit and fitness, the controlling factors under the civil service rules. Here the matter rested until the meeting of the National Civil Service Reform League was announced to take place in Washington last December, when Dr. Miller wrote to each person named on the program, in order to bring this matter to the attention of the League. At the same time Dr. Miller's first letter to President Foulke found its way into the Washington papers. It brought out an interview with President Deming of the Civil Service Commission, in which he maintained that the use of photographs is for identification purposes only and practically renders Here the matter rested until the meeting of the National Civil Service Reform League was announced to take place in Washington last December, when Dr. Miller wrote to each person named on the program, in order to bring this matter to the attention of the League. At the same time Dr. Miller's first letter to President Foulke found its way into the Washington papers. It brought out an interview with President Deming of the Civil Service Commission, in which he maintained that the use of photographs is for identification purposes only and practically renders it impossible for one person to take an examination for another. Dr. Miller replied to this by admitting the necessity for proper means for identifying applicants to prevent conspiracy, impersonation and fraud. He insisted, however, that "the appointing officers if so disposed, could make use of photographs to prejudice of applicants. That such use had been made, he claimed was shown by the fact that since the inauguration of the system comparatively few colored applicants have been selected to the general classified service, as compared with earlier days. He therefore suggested that, the commission use the finger print method as a more economical and more efficient means of indentification, which does not reveal racial identity. Dr. Müller is to be commended for the per- sistent light he has carried on in his endea- vor to secure fairplay for the Negro in the civil service. However, we are inclined to believe that so far as the photographic identification is concerned, so long as it is applied to all applicants alike, there is but little chance to have it abandoned as discriminatory. Prejudiced appointing officers may and undoubtedly do use it to evade the appointment of applicants whose color is not regarded favorably, but if the photograph was done away with, such officials would not hesitate to refuse appointments or even revoke them, so soon as the racial identity of the appointee was revealed. The photograph is but incidental to the fact of discrimination by the appointing power. Abolish the photograph and the discrimination would still exist. It is the discrimination that should be abolished. DECREASE IN LYNCHINGS There were seventeen fewer lynchings during the year ending with December, 1921, than during the previous year, according to the record kept by the department of Records and Research at Tuskegee Institute. This is the smallest number of murders committed by the mob since the keeping of such records was begun by the institute. The most hopeful and encouraging part of the record for the year was the fact that there were forty-five instances, in which officers of the law interfered successfully to prevent lynchings. Of the sixteen persons lynched all were groteses, nine of them being taken from the hands of the law, six from jail and the other three from officers out of jail. Only seven of those who met death at the hands of the mob were accused of rape, the offenses of the other nine cases being classed as for laws: Murder, 1; killing officer of the law, consulting woman, 3; attacking woman, killing man in altercation, 1; wounding man. While the general deduction from this record would be that lynching is falling in some degree of disrepute as the favorite recreation of the white Southern proletariat, it is too soon to believe that it has been dedicated from its rooted position as a serious growth on American civilization. The enormity of the killing and torture of human beings on the mere suspicion of crime, or often on some frivolous pretend to satisfy the blood lust of an uncivilized community, should be made so odious as the impossible of accomplishment in any part of the United States. In only four instances during the year were persons charged with leading lynchings indicted. This shows that while police sentiment may have contributed to low the number of such crimes committed, it has not yet grown strong enough to impel on the punishment of the lynchers. This still much to be done in the way of monetary work in converting the erstwhile lynchers into good citizens, with a wholesome respect for the supremacy of the law. Until lynching is utterly stamped out by the favorite resort of irresponsible idlers of the dregs of the community, there will even need for the Federal power to intervene in the protection of the rights of citizens all races to the guarantees of the constitution. Such legislation as the Door bill remains a live issue so long as lynching exists in any part of the United States. There were seventeen fewer lynchings during the year ending with December, 1924 than during the previous year, according to the record kept by the department of Records and Research at Tuskegee Institute. This is the smallest number of murders committed by the mob since the keeping of such records was begun by the institute. The most hopeful and encouraging part of this record for the year was the fact that there were forty-five instances, in which officers of the law interfered successfully to prevent lynchings Of the sixteen persons lynched all were Negroes, nine of them being taken from the hands of the law, six from jail and the other three from officers out of jail. Only seven of those who met death at the hands of the mob were accused of rape, the offenses in the other nine cases being classed as follows: Murder, 1; killing officer of the law, 2; insulting woman, 3; attacking woman, 1; killing man in altercation, 1; wounding man, While the general deduction from this record would be that lynching is falling into some degree of disrepute as the favorite recreation of the white Southern proletariat, it is too soon to believe that it has been eradicated from its rooted position as a cancerous growth on American civilization. The enormity of the killing and torture of human beings on the mere suspicion of crime, or often on some frivolous pretext, to satisfy the blood lust of an uncivilized community, should be made so odious as to be impossible of accomplishment in any part of the United States. In only four instances during the year were persons charged with leading lynching mobs indicted. This shows that while public sentiment may have contributed to lower the number of such crimes committed, it has not yet grown strong enough to insist on the punishment of the lynchers. There is still much to be done in the way of missionary work in converting the erstwhile lynchers into good citizens, with a wholesome respect for the supremacy of the law. Until lynching is utterly stamped out as the favorite resort of irresponsible idlers and the dregs of the community, there will exist a need for the Federal power to intervene in the protection of the rights of citizens of all races to the guarantees of the constitution. Such legislation as the Dyer bill will remain a live issue so long as lynching exists in any part of the United States. TWO MOVEMENTS OF LABOR News dispatches from widely separate sections note two distinct movements of labor, that have special significance for Negroes of the South From Los Angeles California, it is reported that the exclusion of Japanese, Chinese and Hindu farm land the increase of cotton production in section have brought about a scarcity of returned farm workers. The farmers News dispatches from widely separated sections note two distinct movements of labor, that have special significance for the Negroes of the South From Los Angeles, California, it is reported that the exclusion of Japanese, Chinese and Hindu farm labor and the increase of cotton production in that section have brought about a scarcity of experienced farm workers. The farmers of Southern and Lower California and the Salt River Valley in Arizona have a total acreage in this crop of 415,000 acres with a possible yield of $40,000,000. The alien laborers were permitted to harvest the 1924 crop, but thousands are said to be leaving and consuming a shortage of that kind of labor. To meet this emergency steps have been taken to colonize certain sections with experienced Negro farmers from the South. One concern is said to be opening two thousand acres for this purpose in the Palo Verde Valley, while others are planning similar ventures in other localities. In the San Joaquin Valley, north of the Negro town of Allensworth, four thousand cotton pickers are said to be employed and more are needed. As an offset to this movement a report comes from Dallas, Texas that the black cotton pickers of that section are being replaced by Mexicans from the other side of the Rio Grande. The proprietor of a cotton plantation near Baton Rouge was reported as saying that a determined effort was being made to bring more Mexican labor to the cotton belt, especially during the cotton picking season. He ascribed the need for foreign labor to the desire of the modern Negro for work in factories and industrial plants, ignoring the conditions that had led to the migration of this class of labor According to his views, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi were the States that have lost the greatest numbers of black Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors laborers through migration. It was estimated that in the period of 1922-23, 478,000 Negroes had left the South to seek employment in the North. It will be noted that three of these States, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi are foremost in the number of lynchings committed, and that all of them are noted for the encouragement of peonage and the exploitation of their black workers. It should be an interesting ex- Under the startling headline of "Moonshine, White Mule, Bearcat," the Asheville Enterprise devoted an editorial to these staple products of North Carolina. It said in part: Unless the citizens of the country become more and more interested in the enforcement of the prohibition laws there are many people who are likely to think that they have the right to go on forever making home brew and distilling white mule. Such engagements are not only unlawful but are immoral and generally lead to misery and pain. In many homes wines and beers made from all sorts of ingredients are to be found. It would be safe to say that the people who make their dandelion, grape, rhubarb, and elderberry wines, and their hop and yeast beer, and corn whisky do not know how much poison they are preparing to go down the throats of those who will drink it. The beverages are costly not only financially but from a health point of view. The money that is spent for white-mule could be used to buy food, coal, and clothes, things that are necessary for an earthly existence. It is downright human weakness on the part of any individual who allows his life to be drug out of him by using beverages which are more damaging than those which the government passed laws to prohibit. The alcoholic drinks that are being used are the most successful drugs in rending folks unmanly criminal. Much of the stealing and killing did at these times is due to these drugs. The editor's righteous indignation may have accounted for the shakiness of his grammar in one or two places, but of the soundness of his views there can be no dispute. Prohibition seems to have intensified the evils due to indulgence in strong drink. The only effective remedy is sight appears to be the killing off of the drinkers through their own self-indulgence From a news article in the Richmond Planet we reproduce the following figures, showing the remarkable business growth of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc. The record shows that the Society has paid over $1,500,000 to policy holders for sick, accident and death benefits during the period of its operation. It has, through the practice of the greatest economy and good judgment, accumulated $700,000 in stable assets consisting of cash in banks and trust companies in excess of $175,000, nearly $500,000 invested in real estate of the highest character in the various cities of the State of Virginia and District of Columbia in fact, the Southern Aid Buildings in the larger cities are usually the most modern and best constructed buildings owned by the race in these respective places. It has invested over $100,000 in mortgages on homes and properties of members of the race, and in many instances it has saved such persons or institutions from complete ruin or loss of their holdings. This is a highly creditable record and it speaks well to the manner in which the organization has been conducted. It is to be hoped that such a producer and conservative management will continue to encourage home builders. A small building boom seems to have started at Houston; we are to judge from some recent announcements in the local news columns of the Texas Freeman. Among them were Contractor N. A. Thompson is building an acreage building in rooftop and back to the V. V. Vigin B. Miller on the east side of it, built in 1827.

BROWN, Pastor Fleet Street A M. E. Zion Church A few weeks ago it was my pleasure to hear Madam Mary Agnes Jordan the humorous and dramatic reader of 639 Broad street Bridgeport, Conn. I had intended giving public expression concerning a very successful reading which she gave at our church, and my personal satisfaction at having heard her, but the Christmas season took precedence of everything and I had to wait until now. While she came to us recommended, yet she did not come with great reputation, but when she had made one or two appearances it was evident to all, that we were listening to a woman of talent and that we were all sure of an enjoyable evening. Her wit and humor were so natural, until she forgered that she was impersonating, but felt that she herself was an officer or the originator of the lines she read. At first she smiled appropriately afterwards our bodies shook with suppressed emotion and then like little children we gave vent to our pent up emotions with laughter and applause. Her have dramatic work came last and was well done. The bodily demonstrations and facial expressions were in complete harmony with her voice and words. I have known Madam Jordan for many years as a church worker and choir singer. During my own pastorate at Bridgeport no one rendered greater service. She knows the church and has its spirit therefore she is best prepared to serve it. I wish her the greatest success in her new hold of service.

Wash. 12th street. The services were designed for the purpose of encouraging and communicating to the street and maintain in it, during the coming year, a family. "We build churches and call them The House of Prayer," "But," said Parker Strachan, "Every man's home should be a home of prayer. The family in which there is sincere prayer will be marked in any community; not because we see and hear the praying, but because the lives of the inmates that home testify to a daily community with the God. "Of course the mere formality of praying is of no value, any more than was the prayer of the Pilgrims, Cold formal prayers, whether personal, or in family worship are an offence to God and men." "But the earnest sincere prayer assures a real connection with God, which makes the private and public life of the petitioner a blessing." "The influence of the act of worship in a home is not to be ignored in the life of a true Christian family, the act cannot be ostentatious, it will not be paraded; nevertheless, it will be known, like Noah's ark building, it will preach a helpful and restraining message. "If there ever was a time when the place where we live should be a place of prayer, it is now. Infidelity grows. Injusty spreads. Corruption flows through all the currents of life. The powers are under satanic control; unless some mighty arm is stretched out to rescue, all will be lost. Nearly every one in the morning congregation signed a covenant to maintain a family altar in his or her home during the coming year. The pastor preached his annual New Year german Sunday night. The annual batah school convention Conference man is expected to open the convention with a free stereopoint lecture Friday night Rush Memorial Church A goodly number of members and friends worshiped at Rush Church last Sunday morning and Dr. Olivier the pastor, delivered a very appropriate setum on "The Golden Gate of Opportunity." It was a golden befitting to all the text is found on Joshua 3:4- "For Ye have not passed her helocterofe"—In speaking of how often we pass up opportunities, Dr Olivier mentioned some facts in the life of Joshua, as an illustration of what it means to grasp opportunity when it presents itself. Joshua, was appointed to succeed Moses in the leading of the children of Israel, and knowing a hard man he had to follow, Joshua was prone to refuse this appointment, but God had commanded him and he took up his work. His success was due to helping his hand in God's hand. As Joshua helped his hand to shoulder responsibilities, so should every man and woman who claims to be born again grasp the opportunities as they present themselves. The Christian man and woman are on an average too shack in their living. They are afraid to speak to a sinner, because their lives are so that they no longer encounter over their sinner life. The degree of opportunity is open and in order to success one must prepare themselves—must consecrate his life to the work of the Lord, devoting his time and talent to God's call. It is a noble thing to die a martyr's death for the cause of the burden to live and offer yourselfJob, because death is over in the course of moments, but daily living allows the smears and jeers to have constant bearing on the individual. Despite obstacles, and surroundings, we must grasp opportunities now, for the future depends largely on whether or not we are a Revaker of England preached at 3 o'clock. At which time, celebration of Holy Eucharist took place. brry J W Johnson of Washington D.C. filled the pulpit at 8 o'clock peaching on "The Difference Between V Believer and An Unbeliever." Dr Johnson's comparisons were so well given that five persons came forward and answered the question, "A great revival is being considered at Rush under the auspices of Women's National Evangelistic and Missionary Conference, and will run until January 18. The public is invited to come and get your soul revived." Union Baptist Church Union Baptist Church Our Christmas services were about annual On Christmas morning the 19th year was celebrated on which our pastor and Miss Rosalie M.

KEMP, Principal THE THE material contrasts between the structures with which he (Booker T. Washington) began and the present great, ample and comprehensive plant in authority writing to be thought for and want to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The education and annual turning sales and their families is of course a most commendable and helpful work but that was only one part of what he did and aught to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center into undue light of the Hembyy but ever living truths which must form the basis of real�erness for his read, or any face.—WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON Offers Excellent Opportunities to Young Men and Women to Secure an Excellent Literary and Normal Course and a Course in Mechanical Industries, Women's Industries or Agriculture LOCATION UNBUPARDED FOR HEALTH FULNESS WRITE FOR CATALOG OF INFORMATION ROBERT R. MOTON, Principal Tuskegee Institute, Alabama A large congregation was present at the morning worship of Siloam Rev. Geerwin Hipparst; pastor took his test for becoming work ship from Exodus 3: 3-4. In the vision the pastor portrayed the new vision of God as revealed to Moses by the burning bush, for while the bush burned with fire, it was not consumed by fire and the voice of God called to the bush out of the bush and said I am also the God of Abraam and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Thus God today is the God of the whole family with its progeny. He pleaded with the new vision of God in our lives due to the coming year that we make him the family, that we reinshrine Him in our family and again erect the family around which all should unite as a family in the reading of the Bible, the saying of prayers and the stirring rhymes. Moses was shown to be a man who how to use his first and while cohesion to endure the hardships of the wilderness the spiritual qualities were needed for the greater work which God wanted him to do and so he sent Moses in to the desert, a school as it were, to bear him for this greater work. Just to know what he goes to a school where we undergo suffer pain and sorrow and pray God to remove same. We pray let us so pray that our pain becomes a blessing whether removed or not. The infant of Mr. and Mrs. Coleridge 2. Smith was baptized at this service with water from the River Jordan. The sacrament of holy communion was observed at both the morning and evening worship.

As the new year enters the Church puts on its program for increased activities through all its departments and organizations and is hopeful of exerting a larger influence in the building of the Christian characters of those whose lives it aims to reach andachieve.

Moorland gave and addressed to men on "The Challenge of the New Year," in which he urged them to conserve their health, help their mental ability, deepen their spiritual lives and enlargen their interest in the life of community. He made a special plea to profess amal men to take part in the life of the community through the church.

A speciald congregation was in attendance at a Sunnery Memorial Memorial M.E. Church on Sunday January 8, and the pastor, Rev. T. W. Cooper seemed to be at his best. His wife for the morning service was tinkly made a deep impression upon all present. He took his text from Matthew 4:22 "And they immediately left the ship and their father and followed Him." His theme was "Loving all to follow Jesus." He enjoined all to make that their motto for "the new year and make Jesus the Standard from which to pattern their lives. The singing of the choir was inspiring and aided in making the deep impression upon the congregation.

E. organist, has taken on new life and the beginning preparation for the rendering of a cantata for Easter. Bridge St. Church, B'klym Dr. Tyler addressed the Young People of the church at the morning service, in accordance with the custom of having the members of the Sunday school assemble the first Sunday in the New Year, to receive their annual message. He has been well if the entire youth community listened to the words of wisdom spoken by Tyler. He selected as his text, Proverbs: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction." This subject of his discourse was "The First Stone in the Stairway of a Noble Dr. Tyler first made clear to the minds of the children that God does not want us to have a shavish of Him, but rather a reverent fear. He said that if an individual ceases to do wrong simply because of fear of chastisement, the person's mode of thinking has not changed at all. He may repeat the deed in secret. But he knows the imminent secrets of the heart, though—life is of great significance in the building of a strong character. Dr. Tyler stressed the fact that reverence to God was the most important element in building a noble career. No man is truly educated regardless of his intellectual achievements if he has failed to consider his spiritual development. An individual's reverence for God is the greatest factor in developing a well-rounded manhood or womanhood. When we come to the final analysis of life the knowledge of God's presence is the sweetest comforter. What a grand thing when one can say like David "Although I walk though the valley of the Shadow of Death, I will not evil for Thy Rod and Thy Staff" (1 Cor. 15). At 30 n.m., a Young People's Forum was held in the lecture room of the church. The topic for discussion was "Some Life Ideals". The theme of the topic was "What is the relation of my present practices and habits to my future occupation, and to the well-being of Society". The topic was very enthusiastically discussed by a number of Society. The Rev. Francis H. Gow of South Africa was the speaker at the evening worship. Fleet St. Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church In keeping with the spirit of the season Sunday morning service was wonderfully good, unique in that many of the students were able to result by uniting with the church. Rev R. A. Carrall of Columbia, S. C., was the speaker, using for his theme, "The Palm Tree Christian" Dr. Carrall is a convincing speaker and that he is a very effective Dr. Carrall addressed the Sunday school enmase at its session. Mrs. Carolyn Wilkins In City For Christmas Mrs Carolyn Wilkins, widow of the late Barron D. Wilkins, and sister-in-law to Leroy Wilkins, real estate owner of the country home near New Rochelle, extend the joys of the season with her many friends in New York and Jersey City.

Ernest Petwip I pick as my first string catcher; Speck Webster as second string catcher, and Louis Santop as third string catcher. These I believe are the greatest catchers of their day. Petway was, without a doubt, the greatest of the three. He was a wonderful receiver, had a great throwing arm, fast of foot and a real leadoff man—something you don't see in baseball today, i.e. a catcher leading off at bat. He was never a wonderful hitter but it was remarkable how he could get on base. In Speck Webster, who gave his life in the World War, one found a wonderful all-round catcher, with a good arm. He was fast on base and was a better hitter than Petway but wasn't as sturdy. Santop, the "Big Bertha" of baseball, wasn't the greatest receiver in the world but he was a wonderful drawing card and the hardest hitting catcher we ever had. He was a fore runner of Babe Ruth and was feared by all pitchers especially when men were on base. We have so many good pitchers and can't pick them all so we select six—Joe Williams, Rube Foster, Bill Lindsey, Bullet Rogan Danny McClellan and Nap Winters. In this pitching staff we have everything that is required on a first class staff, speed, brains curves and hitting power. All of them can but as well as regular outfielders and the last two named are left handers. Icery Grant, first baseman. We have had many great first basemen but to my way of thinking Grant is the shiftiest first baseman of them all. He was a great help to infielders on wild throws and unusually good on grounders. Besides she was the life of any ball club, being called the "Black Hal Chase." Will Munroe, second string first baseman. He was considered one of the geratest infielders of all time—a great hitter, great on double plays and like Grant a ball player full of life. There never will be any more Munroe. John Henry Lloyd shortstop. We have had Hills, Buschments, Charons Williams and Lundys but Lloyd is the daddy of them all. Lloyd hitting running and throwing and a wonderful field general. I would also make him captain of the team. Oliver Marcell third baseman. We have had Francis, Todd Allen Favor, Kuniboo, Judy Johnson but Marcell is the greatest at them all on bunt balls and double plays. He runs from nothing and plays bad hops the same as perfect hop balls. Lerrom lett field. He is a wonderful fly chaser, a great hitter and a bear on ground balls. Oscar Charleston, center fielders. Charleston can do anything that would be asked of a great outfielder. In my estimation he is the greatest center fielder of all times. Pat Hall right field. Hall can also do everything that would be asked of a great outfielder. Utility men. As utility men I would pick Britt of Baltimore, who can pit every place on a ball team and I will be at home. He may not bat as hard as Baz Macdougall but to my team he would be more valuable. Shop. Event of the old Philadelphia Giants and Royal Giants in his day the greatest utility man playing base ball. I might have more teams for several other players but to my way of thinking I have packed a team which if they were all together and in their prime could defeat any baseball team in a series of nine games. There is many a player's name I would like to have in this lineup but in justice to all. I think that this is as far a selection as could be made.

"Great men in Rockford have died and been buried, but no death here that I recall has been accompanied by such universal mourning as the death of this 25 year old colored athlete, said, T.

Here was a lad, he said "less than twenty two years old, a colored boy, in whose memory nearly 12,00 persons gather on a cold winter day, whose body was hurne to church and cemetery by white boys who had played football and basketball with Bill." "One has to go beneath the surface of things, he said, to understand this. But I like to think that the earth and burial of Bill Carrrett represents Rockford at its best.

AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE One hardly expects to find anything new at Lafayette Theatre in these days of continual change of management and policy but this week the management is offering something a bit out of the ordinary. A H. Wood's most successful fare, which ran a season on Broadway, is being presented with an 'all-golded case' Like all A. H. Woods shows the dialogue is quite spicy and the pictures exhibited in front of the theatre were so offensive to some that certain organizations asked Cap' Edward P Mulrooney of the 10th Princeton to have the pictures removed and stop the show as indecent. The captain was present at the Monday evening performance and decided that the comedy was no worse than it had been on Broadway and he was immensely pleased with the acting of the, colored cast. The cast has been carefully selected and is extremely competent. The work of Evelyn Mason, Marion Taylor, Marie Young, Alonzo Fenderson and Rudolph Carey in the principal roles was all good but to us the show was a personal triumph for Daisy Pizarro who had the part of Cora Montague, a daredevil movie serial maker on the order of Ruth Roland For years Daisy Pizarro had been seen in the chorus of various shows but seldom had a speaking part. It must have been her lack of beauty that kept her in the chorus so long for she is a competent singer and dancer. But this dispute the fact that others who started their stage careers with her have long since achieved stardom or semi-stardom. Miss Pizarro did not seem to be discouraged and has finally achieved a speaking part that seems to have been made for her. In addition to her regular part she was given a specialty number in the second act which went over big. The Dennis Virgin is about life of motion picture people in Hollywood General. *Kendall Holland* has stuck to the story as written by Avery Hopwood and as it appeared originally. But on one or two occasions he worked in parts which might very easily have been left out. This was particularly true of the part taken by "Princess Helena" The reproduction of leading Broad was successes along with an occasional good colored show might be the solution of the problem confronting the management of the theatre. They believe stay and work while at least are going to present his kind of entertainment to the Harlem public.

This unusual picture, adapted from the play by the named Russian author, Leonid Alyakov, is set in the local on a Continental hippodrome with a claw as the set of character. Interest surrounds the production because of the fact that Victor Seastron onament Swedish director, filmed it for the Wrocław Goldman Mayer company, the second American picture. Like both Buncheokowski and the other screen products Seastron proved immensely popular with the American audience with his first picture here "Name the Man."

Football Experts Select An All-American 11 : Charles J. Doneghy, former captain and star of the (Howard) University eleventh, and H Leon Richardson of Washington, D. C. have picked three all-American teams, because they say the sport writers of the Negro press have been too tunid to make selections, which they claim is the sport writers' duty. While we do not agree to their reasons for making this selection we are glad to publish their selections because we realize that it stimulates keener competition among the players. The reason why the colored sport editors cannot make a fair selection of an all-American team is because they do not see enough games to become familiar with the players. They only see the big games in the Last or South Usually the writers who do see games among the teams of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association do not see the teams of the South, such as Tuskegee, Morchouse, Atlanta University, etc. Nor do the writers who see the games in the South get to see the teams play in other sections. Their teams are as follows: All American Selections A. Leon Richardson. A. P. H. FIRST TEAM Ends Crudup, capt.

Roba. A few days ago the piano player Hill, the manager, tore his hair when he saw a party entering. The entertainers were all ready, each with a song and dance while the musicians tuned their instruments. One of the girls in the party, filled with the holiday spirit, called out: "Syncopation! Syncopation!" The guests were acquainted with the situation. One of the jolly-good-fellows implored the waiter with, "You look like a regular fellow, shuffle along to the piano and strike up a little jazz." The waiter smiled and apologized with: "I'm awfully sorry sir, but I can't play jazz." "Why," was the guest's interrogation. "Because, I don't know music," was the waiter's reply. "Great Apollo!" shouted the guest. "You don't have to know music to play jazz."

On The Meaning of "Technic When we hear the word "technique," we whether in relation to the voice piano or some other instrument, in the average person it has a most alarming and formidable sound. Even the trained musician unconsciously drops his voice when he mentions this word, almost as when one speaks of the deity. Before we can properly begin any discussion of the principles of singing we must first disabuse our minds of this stillness. There is no mystery about "technique." It is a most simple and commonplace term. Yet most of the vagaries and complexities that surround the art of singing hide themselves under the shadow of this little word. If you are truly a lover of singing you need not be frightened from you likes and dislikes by the sound of this word. But if you have a proper appreciation for "technique" it will certainly show you whether those likes and dislikes are based upon sound or sentimental reasons. Let us examine its meaning. Any dictionary will tell you that it means simply the manner of artistic performance, or rather the details, collectively considered in an chemical skill in any art. Everything however has its technical walking, circumstance. We all walk, or try to, but we would not fail easily to long distance while we should have to pay attention to the technique of walking the question of a proper stroke how to properly coordinate it. We use muscles used in walking in order to get the greatest return for the least possible expenditure of effort. It is quite possible that to arrive at the stage one must have to go then the more tremendous over time as the larger or medium stroke must cover a mass of radius or a large number of studies in the development of the technique. In other words, in time on the goal is simply a knock or mechanical skill, one at a rate of often too fast per minute. their consideration, training as a professor, and the use of the thing that makes sure the available and re- sponsible.

ANSWER TO QUESTION Question H194 ANSWER The simple classification of either sex is low, middle and high. In the lower voice the correspondence to Class B, Broune and Fost, and in the female to Contario, Mecio-Sipano and Sopran. These are again further divided into Dramatic and Euro. In the Euro prono, there is a special subdivision known as Coloratura referring to the type of voice with a natural lacency in achieving floral passages. To determine minutely the classification of a voice both range and tone must be determined. Range above that a barred or a glittered tone to a lower ordination than a more contrastive tone. Then, consider the type of tone for each tone, and also the contrast in unmistakable or marked types of each classification. We all this, however, are not aware of a sense of some training at the touch of a hand, that is, that after. There are many sources of new types that are the special teachers and experts can classify after a certain erable period observation and study.

It is simply a remission of the temporal punishment for in. If we commit a moral sin in according to God's own word, it is hell for all eternity. An indulgence affects only the temporal punishment. In the State of New York we have the same thing parole and a remission of punishment. There is a minimum portion of time that the prisoner must serve. If the civil law pardons a man or shorten his sentence, that does not mean that the sin is not the same. The man is still a murder. The convict must have provided himself worthy of a remission of punishment.

A woman went to his house to cowhide him, saying to him: "Don't you know the Pope is planning to come here and take over the management of thinks at Washington? The editor, who, was not a Catholic, replied to him: 'Imagine the Holy Father leaving Rome to come here and muddle with Washington politics.' These things are so silly, and yet they do us much harm. So it is, I suggest that all Catholics should be prepared to defend the Church."

Governing Influences. "Some of the motivating influences that acquired the conduct of the alumni associations in making their contributions toward the five-million dollars fund may be summarized as follows: "The fund will enable the two institutions to develop their advanced courses of collegiate grade. "The success of the campaign will reduce the financial burden of the principals and enable them to give more of their time and energy to the actual development of the two institutions. "The combined effort to raise the fund will make for closer and a more effective co-operation of the two institutions. "The committees adjourned feeling confident that each Hamptonian and Tuskegan would enthusiastically do his or her full share in helping to provide greater educational opportunities for Negro youth."

Fred R. Moore, editor and publisher of The New York Age, was special guest of the club at the banquet. By JAMES H. HOGANS Falling in line with those persons who believe in entertaining their friends on New Year's Day, the members of the Pullman Porter's Athletic and Social Club threw open the doors of their club house at 106 West 156th street on New Year's evening to their relatives and friends with such cordiality and hospitality that it was some time after midnight before they were able to close them again. Moreover, had the guests not been of a type who really knew when to go home, the chances are that the guests would have been more delighted in his work the next morning. Had any one been so inconsiderate in their stay, it would have been a difficult matter to blame them, for their hosts certainly furnished enough diversions and other pleasurable things for a weekend house-party. The occasion for all this generosity and entertainment was a New Year's party given in honor of the friends and relatives of the members of the organization. It also marked the beginning of a series of social affairs which will be held by the club in its club rooms during the winter season. If the others that are so follored can be ganged up, held then we are quite sure that the relatives and this club are in for considerable entertainment. This season the party was in charge of J. E. Perkins, chairman of the entertainment committee of the club, assisted by G. H. DeForster, Thos. E. Richardson, J. H Reed, S. W. Braugham, J. I. Jackson, and others. The music was furnished by Brague's Syncopated Orchestra, and it must be said that lonely music this aggregation really knows the art of syncopating as well as it can be known. The refreshment service was under the personal supervision of J. E. Richardson and J. H Reed, two private car stewards, who operate over the New York Central lines. As a matter of fact, all the features of the affair were superintended by men who are experts in their line and who know when correct service is being rendered to guests. This experience among its membership enables the organization to give a type of service to those entertainments that cannot be easily duplicated in any but the most wealthy circles. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why the Dulphian Porters' Club affairs are always so enjoyable SPECIAL BARGAIN SPECIAL BARGAIN Smallest price houses for sale or for rent and money loaned. W. P.

Washington, D. C. - Quite a "meetin' in a teapot" is being stirred there just now: Miss Namia H. Burroughs of the National Training School for Girls, and Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall of the District of Columbia's Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; on the question of a suggested merger of the District Federation and the City Federation, which is presided over by Mrs. Laura Jouner. Mrs. Marshall precipitated the clash by a letter written to one of the local papers charging that Miss Burroughs is engineering a scheme to win domination over the women's clubs here, or, as she puts it, "trying to grab the women's Federation." The mixup dates back to early November, when Mrs. Mary McLoulin Brunette of Daytona, Fla., presided of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, was in the city. At that time Mrs. Burroughs wrote club women of the District, including Mrs. Meschall and Dr. Joiner, asking them to meet Mrs. Bethune at the Phillips Wheatley Y. W. C. A., for a Sunday afternoon conference. The invitation was generally accepted and a large number of women gathered. Mrs. Marshall charges that instead, of discussing program of club work, Miss Burroughs proposed a merger of the City and District Federations, which proposal was apporved by Mrs Bethune. The merger was perfected. But un-thinking the matter over, Mrs. Marshall came to the conclusion that she had been bounced and so sought a reconsideration. In the meantime, members of the two organizations who were not present at the conference expressed the opinion that they should have been consulted. Mrs. Marshall then wrote local papers charging Miss Burroughs with having deceived the District organization into a trap, and also that Miss Burroughs was "trying to grab the Worcester Federation." Miss Burroughs who is a "hard and gallant fighter always, did not fail to pick up the gauntlet, and so the "temple in a tea pot" is hoisting away Mrs. Bethune, meanwhile, is quietly sojourning at her school home, the Daytona-Cookman Institute dowon the Florida East.
