Citizens Refuge Cooperation It is pointed out by Inspector Belton on his report that citizens will cooperate with the enforcement there in concerning the liquor law, as a reason that the Volstead law is an unpopular one.

The announcement was made a few days ago, following the recent conference on 'Better Race Relations' held at Town Hall, which was addressed by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, Dr. Robert R. Moton, and Dr. James E. Gregg. Payments are to be made over a five year period, in accordance with other announced gifts. Chapenho K. Kebley, chairman of the Hildersteake College management Fund, and vice-president of Hodson Institute, states that an organized effort is under wag to solve the spelled Negro problem as result of the Town Hall conference, the movement having spread to many of the leading cities of the country. The movement is based on two ideas, Mr. Helsley said. One is to train selected Negro men and women to become leaders and teachers of their race. The other, Ts. to acquaint the country, by a campaign of education, with all phases of the problem and show that it really can be done by citing conditions in "the numerous communities in which whites and Negroes now live in harmony." Presenta Grave Problem. Mr. Kelsey refused to minimize the seriousness of the situation. He quoted the report, of the Chicago Commission on Race Relations, that "the relation of whites and Negroes in the United States is our most grave and perplexing domestic problem." He cited a growing interest in the problem, however, as a sign that the public was eager to learn its real nature and bring about a rational solution. At the Town Hall meeting Mr. Kelsey pointed out the question was disproportionately difficult, several notable speakers. They were Dr. Harry Emmerson Fosdick, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Dr. James E. Gregg and Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. Murder Suspect Sends Spurn Message Home Conscience Whipped, Percy Mack Gets Medium's Help Pittsburgh, Pa. - Percy Mack, 22, of Wilkesburg, committed a grave sn in Andrews, S.C, a little more than a year ago, so being whipped by his conscience while a fugitive from justice, he praised Father, Son adn Holy-Ghost at a spiritualist meeting in the Braddock Church and asked the medium to communicate with his mother. Several weeks elapsed while Mack awaited the spirit message from home, then the messenger arrived; but he was a regular detective, and instead of a request to return to mother it was a warrant summoning him to jail for having murdered Frank Pinckney, of Andrews, S.C. It happened that Pinckney was found shot to death and Mack immediately disappeared from home. When he asked Pinckney a spirit message to his mother it is reported that the medium wrote a letter to his home which found its way into hands of civil authorities. Mack's hope is in the Everlasting, but he has sinned, and "the wage of sin is death"—even in South Carolina. List of Hooch Joints MADISON AVE—2084; 2096.

HARLEM WOMEN WILL BE "ROUGH ON RATS" Pest Of Ferocious Rodents Infest 134th St. Houses And Menace Babies HARLEM WOMEN WILL BE "ROUGH ON RATS" Pest Of Ferocious Rodents Infest 134th St. Houses And Menace Babies Mrs. W. Sparks, Mrs. G. Drayton and Mrs. Jennie Brown, matrons, 111 West 134th street are leading a crusade against the rats that infest the building in which they live. They have adopted drastic measures which are the antithesis of an "Ode to a Field Mouse" by declaring that all rodents must go and they don't mean maybe. Although it was once, center the mouse, exit the madame," today it is, "dwarf with cream feet of your wail the woman"—on a pedestal, chair or kitchen table—because the housewives persistently deny the rats their rights to self-determination. The trouble which has been brewing in the atticous apartment for several weeks arrived at a crises Tuesday night which a rat of enormous size forced an entrance through a wall into the Chamber where the infant son of Mrs. Drayton lay in peaceful slumbers. Mr and Mrs Sparks and their wives routed the midnight mairer from the childs bed chamber but he took a bold stand in the kitchen where he gave the quartet a game night. Tables and chairs were arranged a chandelier was broken in the kitchen before the huge rate was captured, not alive but dead. Mrs Sparks claims that although she is a grandmother she had never before seen such a large rat since the day she was born. The men were unable to locate a hole large enough for him to have squeezed through. No one knows where such a giant rat came from. Mrs Brown, in other tenant, stated to a reporter of the New York Age that she had experienced similar troubles with rats and carroborated the story told him by Mrs Sparks and Mrs Drayton. Mrs. Brown harboured a fear for her four month old baby and four other small children in her home. Alike the other tenants, the worm with the babies had not notified the landlord because they had been waiting until they saw him on the premises. It appeaches to Mrs Drayton that the rats living a community, where col red pants better fed, better fed, and better clothed than any other part of the world similarly have become fat and saucy and are beginning to assert themselves in the building at 111 West 134th street. Nevertheless the tenants object to the rats' use of their patrons, bedrooms and baths. Italian Grocer Loses In Battle With Colored Man, Tries To Commit Suicide Italian Grocer Loses In Battle With Colored Man, Tries To Commit Suicide Birmingham, Ala.-Frank Debendett, 53] John street, an Italian groceryman had an argument with one of his colored customers Tuesday and was struck on the head with a battle by the customer. After the customer had gotten the better of the fight, the grocer brought his gun into play but his wife interfered and prevented the Italian from making serious trouble by shooting the colored man. Angered and disgusted at getting the worst of the deal, the groceryman turned the gun on himself and is seriously wounded in the Birmingham' General Hospital. The colored man is being sought by the police Washington Preacher Gets Limited Divorce From Wife Who Meddled With Him Washington, D. C. Justice Hitz has recently granted Rey James A. I. Washington a limited divorce from his wife Anne E. Washington. The grounds for divorce were based on charges of cruelty and desertion against the wife. Washington testified that his wife often interfered in his religious affairs and meddled in professional matters of his. At 4 o'clock last Sunday morning, a erasch at the outer door of his apartment leading from the outside hallway, into his dining room, awakened by Arthur Calboun, professor of music, organist, cholormaster at Union Baptist Church and first teacher of Robbins eyes from the hallway, after the closing of his apartment at 2232 Second avenue, one flight up. In astonished alarm, Proof, Calhoun jumped from bed to investigate. If took but a moment'd, him to discover that some one was trying to break entrance into his apartment, and at attempt, was being made without any special severity or quietness. In fact, the door be beattering ram to break down the door, and already one of the heavy panels had been split. As a peaceable, lawful citizen, Prof. Calhoun was, without any sort of a weapon—not even having a heavy cane in the house. But in the face of the audacious assault upon his house there was no hesitation in setting up a defense. A heavy dining room chair was the only weapon of defense available, and so, arming himself with the chair, Prof. Calhoun stationed himself, on the inside of the door, ready and waiting for the entrance of the attacker. In the meantime, too, they had taken the precaution to telephone an SOS to the police station for reinforcements. As the door began to weaken from the repeated jarrings of the attacker's shoulder rushes, Prof. Catholyn's berserker spirit rose, and the chanted defiance to his enemy. "Come on in," he said, "I'm waiting for you." "I'm coming in, don't you worry!" was the sarcasm-reach taurt hurled back in reply. By this time, the determined fellow had damaged the door to the extent that wailing defender could catch gimpses of a pale face, gleaming pasty white in the light, shed from the white incandescents, a malignant grin of predatory hate revealing the drug-stained teeth in a twisted mouth. But even as the man set back, ready to rush the door again for possibly the last time, there came a sibilant, warning from an accomplice, the lookout, who evidently had been stationed in the hall below, to "Beat it!" Bulls comiled. With a nasty growl, the discomfited bandit turned to make a getaway, but as he did, he drew a heavy automatic and sent a bullet, crashing through the transect, which imbedded itself in the center of the room. White Holiday Man Caught Robbing Lenox Ave. Druggist John O'Keele of 200 Burnside avenue, the Bronx, was arrested by Patrolmen Thorp and Cannon about 22:00 clock on Tuesday morning, January 13, just as he was completing a robbery of the Hollywood Drug store at 477-Lenox avenue.

He had a large package_order his arm, which afterwards proved to be about forty pints of whisky and the clerk, Angus Shaw, reported that he had just been held up at the point of a revolver by the burglar, who took $48 from the cash register. The officers searched their prisoner and found a gun and the money in his possession. He was brought to the police station and the police robbery filed against him. In a preliminary hearing at the Heights Court he was held without bail for trial on January 15. According to the police the man has a prison record and it is believed that he was connected with other robberies in Harlem Harris Wins Belated Victory In Contest For Aldermanio Seat Although the actual term of office expired December 31, 1923, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court decided only last week that George W. Harris, Republican, had been elected from the 121st A.D. for the 1922-23 term over John William Smith, Democrat, who was awarded the seat by the Democratic Alderman Board after he contested the right of Harris to the seat. As a result of the election in November, 1921, Harris was announced victor, by the Board of Elections Smith contested, and the Board of Aldermen sustained his contention and unseated Harris, who served, however, 18 months later, his last salary, about six months' salary; at $3,000 a year, and his only recourse is to sue Alderman Smith personally for the $1,500. Smith was elected in 1923 over Henry O. Harding, Republican, and is the present Alderman from the 21st. And the salary now is $5,000 annually.

Never again after tonight, will it be possible to secure the full voting power on subscriptions. This is final and fair warning. To hold back subscriptions now, or to rely on 'promises' to subscribe at a later date, simply means that you will have to take less votes on such orders. We are putting it up to you squally! If you entertain any desire whatever of being declared winner of the big Buck Coach worth $1630.00, to be awarded just three weeks from tonight—do not fail to turn every subscription to your account before the close of the "First Period." Not to do so simply means that you will have to redouble your efforts during the remainder of the race to make up for lost ground. A few long term subscriptions may be the very ones needed to "cunch" the big prize; they could hardly help winning one of the major awards. A Timely Warning And as a timely warning, do not try to figure just exactly how many votes it will take to win, for you will surely fail to get enough. Don't be afraid of having too many votes; you can't have too many. It would be better to win the big prize with a million more votes than necessary than to get left by a few hundred thousand representing the effort of an afternoon's work. Don't let this happen to you! You whenever forgive yourself the fatal error. There will be no cause for regrets if you but heed expert advice and back it up with a goodly number of subscriptions.

The women were not serving on a jury at all. They sat in the jury box because the courtroom was crowded and they could not find seats elsewhere. Section 2. This act shall take effect immediately. Women Start National Drive To Raise $10,000 Fund For Douglass Home There were different causes given why the tenants refused to pay their rent. One woman held out until a wash bowl was put in, and the judge unheld her and instructed the landlord accordingly. Another woman told the judge that her gas bill was so high that she couldn't pay. The landlord had taken out the furnace and would not install steam heat so she used gas heaters. Her case was adjourned until next week. One landlord complained that every time he called, the tenant would be out. The judge threatened to send another landlord to jail for human treatment of tenants. He scored another landlord for calling for rent on Sunday, and asked another landlord what it mattered if the tenant did not pay on the exact day so long as he received his rent regularly every month. One woman cried and asked for five days for pay. Her request was granted. Another was given a week because she had a sick husband. One young woman, when called, told the judge that the landlord had given in her name wrong. The judge told her that the landlord wanted rent and not right names. A middle aged man, who was a carpenter, asked for five days time and was granted ten days. The court ruled that a tenant had a right to sublet her rooms to lodgers if she wished to do so. One young woman, who claimed that her rent was $00, said she couldn't pay. The judge asked how long she had been paying it. She told him she had been paying it for seven months. The judge told her that she must continue paying it. Another was informed that no matter how bad the condition of the house might be, they nevertheless would have to pay their rent as long as they lived in the house. Some of the complaints were of leaking gas fixtures, faulty plumbing, drapping ceilings and no heat Tenants were informed that complaints should be made to the Tenement House Department which would put a violation on the house. In cases where there were violations, tenants were required to deposit the rent due with the court clerk's office pending a trial. Gray haired men, women with crying babies, woman against woman, Gentile against Jew, colored landlord against white tenants, and a mixing up of various classes, races and creeds in domestic relationships, developed a housing problem that was sufficient to drive a good judge to distraction.

Life and its pleasures nearly came to an abrupt ending when 9-years old Charlie Morris was struck by a surface car Tuesday afternoon at Central Park West and 99th street whiles on his way with his sleigh to coat down hillside in Central Park. In an attempt to dodge a taxi that was bearing down upon him in the one way street, Central Park West, young Morris, was forced too near the tracks, and a south bound eight avenue car passing, at the time, hurled home across the road where he landed upon the right side of this face sustaining severe bruises. Charlie was taken to the Reconstruction Hospital, Central Park West and 100th street, where he became a patient for an indefinite period, and it appeared to the doctors that he would not be privileged to join in winter sports for quite a while. Wm. C. Morris, 72 West 99th street, and his wife, Mary, are Charlie's parents and have received sympathy from numerous friends, many of whom called in person at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Morris to inquire about the condition of dear Charlie who was so smart in school and so well liked in the neighborhood. Charlie had always been a very careful child and never before meet with any accident of consequence, but fate decreed that he should learn the pangs of pain while young. He was just a day part his 9th birthday when misfortune came to him. Monday was his birthday and Tuesday about half past three, after he had gone home from school. Charlie felt like enjoying nature out in open with the large number of school children who covered the snow clad hills like giant ants but fate ordained otherwise. Now, Charlie has learned an important lesson out of school. Warm Reception Causes Fire In West 124th Street Crying babies and twenty five families were routed out of their warm beds to face the chilly early breeze at 3 a.m. Friday morning, when a fire broke out in the apartment of James Sherman on the top floor of 101 West 124th street. Mrs. D Fury, with a 2-months old baby, and four other small children, were sheltered in cars at the L. & L. garage, across the street, while Mrs W E. Coffin, with a 5-months old baby and two other small children, sought refuge elsewhere in the neighborhood. Tenants claim that Mr. Sherman had entertained some friends until after midnight in his parlor, which was heated by means of an oil stove. When they were aroused by the sound of cracking wood, tenants on the top floor claim, they saw male members of the midnight party, fleeing to the roof. The other members disappeared mysteriously. Mr Sherman was the only one impaired, having received burns on the nose, left side of neck and left hand, which were dressed at the Harlem Hospital. Mrs Helen Jervis was the heaviest loser. She had a nice comfortable home opposite the Sherman apartments in which she aid lived for seven years. Hot Radio-Active Water Furnished by the Government For All Baths.

Their troubles are multiplied in many cases by the callibus indifference of landlords and agents in matters affecting their health and comfort. A favorite device used to compel tenants to vacate apartments when their rent has been fixed by the court, is to neglect to make necessary repairs or to introduce undesirable persons who make a nuisance of some sort or another. Exhorbitant rents are not the only grievance from which residents of Harlem apartments are suffering. Their troubles are multiplied in many cases by the callous indifference of landlords and agents in matters affecting their health and comfort. A favorite device used to compel tenants to vacate apartments when their rent has been fixed by the court, is to neglect to make necessary repairs or to introduce undesirable persons who make a nuisance of some sort or another. In order to afford tenants a remedy from such conditions a bill has been offered in the lower house of the legislature by Assemblyman Grenthal through which the tenant may force the owner to act in such matters. Under this act, upon proof that a landlord has been ordered or notified by the proper authorities to remove or cease a nuisance or violation, or to make necessary repairs, the tenant can deposit his rent in court without fear of being dispossessed. This would apply to such cases where the landlord permits certain portions of his building to be used for purposes which constitute "nuisances," such as selling liquor, gambling and other unlawful pursuits. Those landlords who neglect to make proper repairs ordered by the Tenement House Commission can no longer secure immunity through the complaisance of an inspector, but can be forced to action by the refusal of the tenant to pay rent until the order is fulfilled. It will give the tenants another weapon for protection against the capacity and indifference of profiteering landlords. This legislation is in the interest of good health and good morals and should be enacted into law by the legislature at the earliest moment possible. As the congested housing conditions still exist and promise to continue for an indefinite period, no effort should be omitted that will tend to make them more endurable. This bill is a further step in the right direction. LETTER CARRIER TO POSTMASTER Besides leaving the record of one of the most postmasters that New York ever had, it was the unique distinction of the late Edward M. Morgan to have reached that post by gradual promotion from the grade of letter carrier. He was the first postmaster of this city who performed this task. His death came suddenly after an operation for appendicitis at the age of sixty-nine years, after serving fifty-one years in the postal service. This was the second time that he had been appointed postmaster, his first term dating back previous to the Wilson administration. Mr. Morgan was not only an efficient administrator, but his long experience in postal affairs made him exceptionally valuable as the head of the service in so important a postal district as New York. He was thoroughly conversant with every phase of the service and appreciated the capacity as well as the limitations of the force under him. So far as he was able he raised no line of race or color in his treatment of the employees. Under his administration colored employees were assured of a fair deal. He may not have gone as far in promoting deserving clerks as then merits demanded, but it was not due to any personal bias, but rather to the demands of politicians. In filling the place left vacant through Mr. Morgan's death at the regard is given to the demand of the service his since will be selected from the ranks of those who have come up in the service as he did. Among those who stand in line of necessity, none would make a better postmaster than Charles Lubin at present Superintendent of Delivery. With a record of over thirty-five years in the service Mr. Lubin possesses the experience the tenement and the general ability which would qualify him for the position. In picking out an efficient postmaster the status of Mr. Lubin should not be overlooked.

SINS OF THE JANITORS The painter has long been the subject of the newspaper wits in the larger cities Painted as a despot of domestic affairs to those dwelling in flats or apartments he was credited with the power to make the life of the tenants his subjects a pound job or a prolonged period of torment. Perhaps these newspaper critics went too far in their jesus and provoked the occupants of this domestic The janitor has long been the subject of the newspaper wits in the larger cities. Painted as a despot of domestic affairs to those dwelling in flats or apartments, he was credited with the power to make the life of the tenants his subjects a round edge or a prolonged period of torment. Perhaps these newspaper wits went too far in their jees and provoked the occupants of this domestic role to make their fancied wrongs a grim reality: Judging from the complaints of residents of Harlem, something of this sort must have taken place, as their indictment of some janitors, their particular janitors, is severe and contains many counts. One of the most general complaints brought against janitors is their failure to render the service for which they are retained. Failure to provide heat and lighting of halls, removal of garbage and rubbish are among the commonest charges made by irate tenants. Lack of civility is another count that figures largely in the list of failings. There is a tradition that a grateful tenant once, died and left all his or her belongings to the janitor of the apartment, because he was always civil and obliging. Few janitors would now receive legacies of any sort for that reason, if the average tenant is to be credited. Added to uncivil demeanor and gruff and forbidding manner in responding to any demand for service, some of these janitors are charged with indulgence in forbidden beverages which accentuates their defects. The trouble with many of these janitors is the lack of supervision by owners or agents. They are practically given full charge of the building with powers of life and death over the tenants so to speak. If these owners and agents would keep a closer oversight of their property, the result might be improved service, better pleased tenants and less frequent changes in the leasing of apartments. Undoubtedly there must be some good janitors in existence, but the tenants who enjoy that blessing either sing low or keep quiet on the subject, and they do not figure in this article. PROHIBITION AND POISON The special committee of the United States Senate, which has undertaken the investigation of Internal Revenue matters, with special attention to the workings of Prohibition, seems to have headed in the right direction. Under the leadership of Senator Couzens of Michigan as chairman, the committee through its investigators has discovered that one of the chief drawbacks to prohibition enforcement is the production of a flood of grain alcohol, which is allowed to get into the hands of the bootleggers free of tax. The pretext for allowing the bootlegging industry to get this raw material is found in the release of alcohol from distilleries, warehouses and denaturing plants for ostensibly industrial purposes. While there are many legitimate industries that require alcohol in the manufacture of standard preparations, such as paints, varnish, medicines, toilet waters, perfumes, dentifrices and barbers supplies, the number of fake manufacturers of these preparations has been multiplied to such an extent as to invite investigation. The increased demand for alcohol, especially the supposedly denatured article, has grown to such proportions as to warrant the belief that much of it is being diverted to the making of hooch, as the suprious liquor is denominated. Much of this hooch when compounded from denatured alcohol by unskilled operators is of a poisonous nature, because the chemical substances added to prevent its use for drinking purposes, are not wholly removed. When the mixture is made from completely denatured alcohol, as sometimes happens there may be enough wood alcohol or kerosene retained to cause death to the drinkers. This is why there were some twenty-five or thirty deaths in the hospital of this city during the Christmas holidays, among those who celebrated not wisely but too well. In some denaturing plants, it is hinted that the chemicals are omitted in the process and the alcohol is released to the bootleggers free of tax and as pure as when it left the distiller. At that, it is only raw alcohol at best and while it may be colored and flavored to tickle the palate, the result is not the same as the straight goods ripened in the wood. Most of the home brewed stuff and the product of amateur distillers is unfit for beverage use because of the materials use and lack of skill in their preparation as well as the failure to allow the product opportunity to age before drinking. The South boasts of its moonshine, white mule and bearcat but they all have the various qualities of raw alcohol, without the refining process of age. If the Couzen committee can devise a plan to dam the flood of alcohol that helps to keep the boottlegers in business, it will have accomplished considerable for the cause of health, if not for the cause of prohibition enforcement. In locations like Harlem, where the unwary drinkers are numerous and trusting, it is not so much a question of enforcing prohibition as of preventing poisoning wholesale. While the police and the enforcement agents through the directory printed in The Age have closed many hooch joints, their places are quickly filled by others newly located. Stop the flood of taxfree alcohol and the way of the bootleger will be made harder. Indict the sender of poison honeck for attempted murder and he may be brought to realize the seriousness of his offense. The net result of prohibition so far has been to create and enrich a class of privileged lawbreakers, composed of bootleggers and corrupt officials who cooperate in their activities. Unless a way can be devised to make enforcement feasible, it would be better to modify the Volstead act to the extent of making possible the use of beer and wines, placing the sale of stronger liquors in the control of agencies under direct government control. CONSUMPTION CURES A letter to the editor of this paper, received from the New York Tuberculosis Association, stamps with distance approval a bulletin issued by the National Vigilant Committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, relating to the closing of the mails to vendors of a tuberculosis nostrum. After going into minute details of the causes for excluding this particular remedy, the bulletin concluded with these significant words: A letter to the editor of this paper, received from the New York Tuberculosis Association, stamps with distance approval a bulletin issued by the National Vigilant Committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, relating to the closing of the mails to vendors of a tuberculosis nostrum.

They read: The following news dispatches, taken from one of the New York daily newspapers, show that the troubles that have recently beset the cotton growers and laborers in the South find their reflex in the North as well. They read: New Bedford, Mass, Jan 9—The New Bedford Cotton Manufacturers' Association voted today to reduce cotton mill wages 10 per cent, beginning January 19, and affecting 40,000 operatives in this city alone. A union official said the workers would vote in a few days and report their stand to the Textile Council, the umons' governing body. Fall River, Mass, Jan 9—The executive committees of four unions of the United Textile Workers of America voted unanimously tonight to oppose the reduction of 10 per cent in wages which the Fall River Cotton Manufacturers' Association recently announced would become effective in Fall River Monday. The trouble with the cotton growers in the South began with the boll weevil and was aggravated by the migration of the black labor that produced and picked the crop. The lack of the right kind of labor, or in some cases of any labor at all, left the cotton plants at the mercy of the weevil pest, with no hands to hoe it or to pick it at maturity. This naturally led to decreased production and an increase crop. The mildew of the North The trouble with the cotton growers in the South began with the boll weevil and was aggravated by the migration of the black labor that produced and picked the crop. The lack of the right kind of labor, or in some cases of any labor at all, left the cotton plants at the mercy of the weevil pest, with no hands to hoe it or to pick it at maturity. This naturally led to decreased production and an inferior crop. The mills of the North, with the supply of raw material limited, began to put their hands on part time. With the lessening of production due to shortage of material and fewer working hours, production of cotton goods declined and dividends began to feel the effect This may be the reason for the cut in wages announced in the first dispatch from New Bedford, the manufacturers seeking to recoup their losses by cutting down the item of labor. The reduction will be fought by the labor unions, with the probable result that the mills will be closed for a time and both labor and capital will lose by the conflict. The white mill hands in that part of New England will probably feel the pinch of poverty for the rest of the winter and some of them will be forced to migrate to other cities in order to secure employment. The stockholders of the mills will feel the loss of their dividends and cut off luxuries or necessities as then individual cases may require. The underlying cause for much of this suffering will be found in the deplorable conditions that beset the black cotton producers of the South and forced them to migrate to other sections. This shows the economic dependence of one class of workers upon another, and the dependence of the capitalist or investor upon both. If the black laborer of the South had been paid a fair return for his labor, given justice in the courts, assured of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, with improved housing conditions and better schools he might have continued to hoe cotton and light the boll weevil for many years longer. With an unlimited Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors supply of raw materials, the textile mills of New England might have continued their career of prosperity with fair wages for the mill workers and uninterrupted dividends for the stockholders. The interruption of this era of economic peace and prosperity is due to the intolerable conditions prescribed for the black workers of the South and The following golf note appeared in the Richmond Voice, showing the proficiency attained by the youth of the race in this form of sort: A number of our best golfers have been caddies at the different clubs in our city. These caddies usually spend their idle time practicing and playing the game. Young Chas. Martin is one of the best golfers in the city; having defeated his opponents in every official match. Martin held the caddies' championship of the Hermitage club for 1922-23 and was runner up in 1924 to P. A. Lewis. He holds the city caddies championship 1924 by defeating Samuel Cullens, champion of Lakeside club, 5 and 4 with a medal score of 79 on his rival's course. This proves that the coordination of mind and muscle necessary to become a skilled player has been acquired by these active followers of the ball as they carried the clubs. The professional champion of the ancient Scottish game may yet come from their ranks. A correspondent of the Pacific Coast News Bureau, writing in the Colorado Stateman from Hollywood, Cal., said that film producers are at last learning what the stage producers learned long ago, that the true Negro type cannot be reproduced through black face impersonators. The article contiued. In comedies, the Hal Roach, Larry Semon and Educational Film Studios have seven Negro comedy actors under straight contract, and use many others as "extras" In the dramatic productions the colored actors had one of the best years on record, with not a single day in 1924 in which some colored actor was not at work. The one colored film employment agency in the country exclusively engaged in supplying studios with Negro actors, reports 500 calls in 1924 from the different studios. This opens up - new field for the colored actors, although the demand is not likely to warrant any wholesale migration to the California film factories. The Pittsburgh American deplored the fact that so little attention is paid to the opportunities offered by the Y. M. C., in that city It said: Our "Y" is a modern fire-proof brick building. It contains all the appointments including the spacious "gym", swimming pool, reading room, dormitories, class rooms and cafeteria where palatable meals are served to both men and women at regular hours and popular prices. The "Y" is the place for all to enjoy the rare comforts of the home life. A Hotel, it would compare most favorably with the leading white hotels of the city. We lament the need of hotel accommodations, but fail to use what we have. An opportunity to pass up unquestionable resorts operated by hotels and eating houses should be appreciated. Especially should this be true of those who are refused daily in the greasy soup houses owned by members of the other race. Meditate upon these things. Bear in mind that we could not be satisfied until we secured the new "Y". Now that we have it we should consider it as a precious jewel. We must support it financially and with our presence. With these advantages, it would be expected that the institution could command popular support, unless there is something radically wrong with the management. An example of the neutralizing of such antagues was offered in the case of the branch in Hiram. The arbitrary action of the central board of directors has kept in office an executive whose usefulness was destroyed by his own actions, to the great detriment of the work that ought to be done by such an organization. Discussing the mis-management reported in a local institution, the Baltimore Affluence Corporation perpetrated a bull worthy of Mrs Malaprop when it said, "Grand James come and Grand James go, but the mismanagement of Cheltenham (House of Reformation for colored Boys) like Tennant's book goes on forever. The intelligent reader will probably understand that the Baltimore office referred to the former British poet laureate Alfred Tennant and the brook which was pictured in one of his poems as flowing on forever. Despite this but the facts are concerned the cruelties practiced at Cheltenham are garring enough demand a return. The Troop Imminent should stick to the facts and avoid poor samples. The headline artist of the Dixon Guide who perpetrated, H. S. L. Quets Press, over an account of a Howard University entertainment press paper men deserved the medal for 1924 whether the result was accidental or intended. In noting the fact that colored people are beginning to make large gart to their institutions in the Philadelphia Tribune, pronounced it a true indication that we are making progress in the right direction. It is mentioned. The De Morgan J. W. W. did much to contribute to Mrs. A. A. Mahone has contributed large to worth while causes. Mr. J. J.

HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association How many of you ever saw a case of lye poisoning? How many of you ever knew a child to go blind from lye burns? How many of us use lye—rightfully—in and about the home? It is safe to estimate that more than one half of the housewives use it. The principal thing to remember about the use of lye are as follows: Buy only cans of lye that are plainly labeled "POISONY" Do not buy cans which are inconspectively labeled Everyone knows that the red poison label means danger Everyone knows that the 'skull and cross bones' means poison danger for a reminder to yourself and to all others, buy the plainly labeled cans. Never put lye in the flame or on a dry shelf where children can reach it When using it, and it is not easy to have the can tear at hand, see that children are kept away If lye powder is spilled, clean it. If IMMEDIATELY it looks something like sugar to children and they might taste it. Lye is strongly caustic It is like the well known acids and alkalies in an powerful burning capabilities. Lye dissolved in water is, of course, more or less diluted and in accordance with its strength it will damage severely or slightly. Some people, because they have been in the habit of using it in very diluted solutions, do not realize it is one of the most dangerous materials ever used in the house. Deep, burns on the arms sometimes take a long time to heal. Burns from lye have resulted in disfiguring and sometimes actually deforming scars. If large areas are burned with it, they may be loss of life from the effects of the burn on the thigh general system. As you no doubt know, large burns bring a poisoning, toxemia, as we say, a high temperature and a rapid pulse and sometimes shortness of breath and, in short all the signs of severe diness. If you have occasion to remember this artifact, see it in that children and they are kept apart.

But do not think for one moment that because Mr. Parker is the ruling officer in one of the largest and wealthiest beneficial organizations in that country, is in charge of the welfare service of the largest single group of Negro employees in the United States, or because he is in confidence of the head officials of no of America's leading corporate that these are the osle considerations for which he is to be entertained by his co-workers and friends.

Vaughan, M. G. Martin, Mrs. E. Watking, Mrs. H. Huff, Mrs. L. E. Taylor, J. D. Steel and C. A. Jordan First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock services at the church Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the following text: "In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehend it not. That was the true light, which lighthight every man that cometh into the world" St John 1.4, 5.9 Pastor Bolden said: The declarations found in these verses carry with them thoughts that should not only strengthen those who are called fundamentalists but also those who ultimately apply their psychological and biological tests to the Person and Personality of our Lord Jesus the Emmonuel they would surrender their intellect and wills to him and exclaim in the sipirt and language of Thomas, "My Lord and My God, now I believe." The new birth process of spiritual and mental change takes place in the individual that believes and accepts our Lord as his Master and Redeemer, opens up a new world in which he is conscious that he is living into an eternal creation The source of life and energy flowing in and through the person is not from the realm of nature that has its lights and shadows, life an death manifestations for in this new creation Jesus our Lord the Emmanuel is not only the source and giver of this life but this everlasting life seems to be His Body, clothing the order and the person in the eternal creation. The idea light from any source and in any way that we may think of it is regarded as one of the chief factors in the progressive development of mankind. Physically its importance and effect upon all manifestations of life everywhere has been found necessary to existence, growth and development. What is called the light of understanding What is a life stimulator in the natural world. The rays and energy of it are found to have therapeutic values, illuminating values, radio vibrating values over which articulating sounds and photographs may travel around the world and the end is not yet From the mind and plane of thought of our Lord His life in the world of humanity was the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world All invention of social, intellectual, economic, moral, and spiritual developments may be traced directly through conscious contact with our Lord or through what may be called the unconscious relation which may be termed the by-products in modern growth and development. He is our life and He is our Life. The real program of Jesus in the world of humanity is not a democratic or socialistic form of government and this will be ublified when He comes the second time and we shall be caught up to dwell with him forever. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 "My God My Father, while I stray Far from my home on life's rough way. Oh train me from my heart to say Thy will be done." Let us will and want to be holy. Let us think and say, "Renew my will from day to day. Blend it with wine and take away All that now makes it hard to say Thy will be done." At 2 p.m., the Sunday school was opened by the superintendent, Rev W Hogan, assisted by the assistant superintendent W Coleman. At the close of the lesson study a review of the lesson was given by a few of the children. At 4 10 p.m., the Littaras Society convened Miss Addie Pennington having charge of the program. It follow, Miss M. M Sherman and daughter, Miss Dorothea Sherman; reading Miss Little Hogans, solo; Williams Town- solo, Mrs S Barrow; piano solo, Miss Decony Small; reading, Miss Magar Johnson, remarks by Mr Har- rison, remarks by Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden. At 8 p.m., Pastor Bolden continued his theme of the morning service the dinner was served during the hour, the memorial at the hour, and $20 was given to the church Rush Memorial Church Dr. Oliver's sermon last Sunday morning was a continuation of the sermons which are being preached rightly at Rush Church. The revival sermons are being held under the auspices of the New York division of the Women's Evangelist Conference, and the meeting are well worth while. One pastor delivered a discourse on the "Induction of Power" Act, 18. Throughout the entire sermon there was prominent one particular theme, and that was the power of the Bible. It was the most indefinite times to name church edicts after the old biblical characters, but not so now as it is not infrequent stress had on the doctrine of the Bible. The pulpit seems intended to deal too much with the spirit of the times, and con Where To Go To Church Where To Go To Church sequentially, the power of the Holy Ghost is lost. Perhaps the greatest thing needed is a thorough understanding of His Word. The gifts of healing, teaching and preaching are not to be looked upon as great myateries, but as a manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit working upon a real, sincere Christian man or woman. Christianity is to clarify, not to myaltify the minds of the people. At 8 o'clock, the mrs. S. A James preached on "A Vision of the Glory-land." Mrs. James is president of the body of women who are carrying on the meetings at Rush. She held the attention of her audience, and her description of that Heavenly Kingdom was the most beautiful which could possibly be given. Every thing possible for the betterment of the race here in Harlem is being done by Dr. Oliver and his church which is held every Sunday at 9:30 a.m., in progressing nicely. Parents and guardians are advised to get their children out-to this service, and help build up the future church. Revival services continue this week. Tuesday and Friday nights will be devoted especially to children. All are invited to come out and be spiritually revived. Good preaching and singing every evening. Walker Mem. Bapt Church The Spirit of Christ was greatly manifested in the revival meetings held at Walker Memorial Church each night and day last week, especially at the noon-day services. With the coming of Sunday, the spirit continued to soar through the entire services of the day. At the close of the Sunday school study period, Dr Ellis addressed the school on physical health this was followed by another address on Spiritual Health by Dr J. B. Pius. At the morning service, a large number of the members and visitors were benefited by Dr Pius in this unusual and forceful manner, preach from the text in Gal. 6:14. "God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." The B Y P. U., was well attended, and much enjoyed by all. At the beginning of the evening service, a brisk song and prayer period was conducted by the pastor, Dr J. D. Bushle, after which another uplifting sermon was preached by Dr Pius; text found in 2nd Tim. 2:12. "If we suffer, we shall also reign, with Him." Dr Pius will, perhaps confess his engagement at BAPTIST THE NEW ABYSSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH, 154th Street, between 7th & Lexon avenues. Sunday 11 a. m., and 7th & L. 130 p. m.

Pastor, 'Strachan's Home, Sunday night, was: "Individual Responsibility." Siloam, was well attended at the morning of, worship, on Sunday, January 11. Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, spoke from the text found in John 11:5, 6, citing that Jesus delayed point of prayer, although their brother Lazarus was ill, because of His love for them. So in our lives today: in physical things, God delays, because of His love for us. When we pray and our prayers are not answered at once, it is because God desired to discipline His children, through love, even though it may mean days, months, or years of patient waiting through suffering or other ills of life. God will always come on time to deliver us. We must measure our lives by God's time. In spiritual things if we pray aright, God answers immediately. How comforting to know that God is always just at the other side of the Jordan ready to hear and answer us when we pray. We are reached again at the evening worship. New members, received: Mrs. Wilhelmina King La 'Rose, 186 Adelphi street; Misa Flosse Van Dillard, 32 Irving place; and Misa Euphemia Mills, 525 Washington avenue. Miss Mila received the sacrament of baptism. The bible school held its session at 1:15. Each department of the school is striving to raise the efficiency, thus raising the standard of the whole school. The mid-week services on Wednesday evening are growing in interest, the open discussion of the topic by the group present is adding more zeal and earnestness to the meeting. The program for the first quarter of the year is full of activities in all of the departments of the church. The alumni of all the confirmation classes which will have an important part in the activities of the church. We were happy to see George F. Titus at the morning hour of worship. Nazarene Cong. Church Dr Henry Hugh Proctor and the choir exchanged with Dr. E. Bolden Hart and his choir (white) last Sunday evening to the great delight of both churches. Dr. Proctor and the Nazarene choir were most cordially invited by St Paul's Critical Church, and the people expressed great appreciation both for the singing and the preachings. The Nazarene people were greatly delighted with the sermon and the music of the visiting minister and the quartet choir. It was agreed that the exchange should be an annual event. Proctor gave an instructive and inspiring sermon on the Sabbath as the most fundamental institution in humanity. He clearly showed that the Sabbath was to be holiday rather than a holiday, and showed how it should be properly observed in order that the best interests of humanity should be counted for contributions for the day amounted to $368.18. "Dr. Proctor will speak in behalf of the Federation of Churches over the radio WEAF Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, on "Priceless Pearls." The annual meeting of the church occurred Wednesday evening, when the roll was called, and the business of the year was transacted. The church closed the year without a deed of trust in the church in a flourishing condition. The following is the sick list: Mrs Quinn Curry, 140 Schenectady avenue, Mrs Alexander Sesso, St Mary's Hospital, Mrs Mary Coleman, 1659 Dean street, Mrs M. F. Withbeck, 121 Screene avenue, Mrs Catherine Metell, 178 Macon street. Dr Proctor will fill his pulpit at both services Sunday, speaking at a趴 on, on "Running steps," and at 8 p.m. on "The Man Who Burnt the building, Belnch Man." Charles Waters, will sing. Mrs J. E. Moorland has just returned from Cleveland, where she assisted her sister, who sustained a serious accident. Newman Memorial Church The services at Newman Memorial M E Church were fairly well attended on Sunday, January 11, but there were many of the members whose presence was missed because of sickness. Rev I W Church, pastor preached a soul stirring sermon at both services. His morning text was taken from Songs of Solomon, 2nd chapter, 11th verse. Take it the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines for our vines have tender grape's. In the setting at 8 o'clock, his theme was "The loss of Opportunity." The text was taken from Matthew 25:10, "and the door was shut." The pastor pleaded earnestly during his sermon for all to enter while the door of opportunity stood apart, are the time came when it would be late, later and the door would be shut. He very feelingly portrayed the Master as He stands calling to sinners to come while the door stands open and accept the Salvation so offered freely to all who believe. The singing of the choir at both services was inspiring Miss G. Hodge was the soloist The Sunday school had an unusual large attendance and several new scholars were added to the roll of membership James Powell, ex-president of the church, actively engaged organizing the choir and the assistance of the pastor, for a rally fair on February 11, 12, 13 and 14 M. Istelle Couper was not so well and her slow recovery is causing Pastor Coupe quite a little affection. Mrs. Emma Smith, who was run down by an automobile, is slowly recovering. Mrs. Shepard was reported as doing nicely. Bethany Baptist Church We are grateful to say that with the growing of the New Year, there is a noteworthy interest being manifested in the services at Bethany. This, we will say, is largely due to the thoughtfulness of our efficient pastor, Dr. Kendall J. Warren in his selection and preparation of his seminars his impressive way of presenting them, and the cooperation of the FOR DESIGNING AND DRESSMAKING, Inc. 81 MORTONERY PLACE, FLORENTI, N. 4 A Nine Three-Story Brick Building with all improvements for Students Course completed in Four Woes .

But self-loyalty and enfeezing as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of Washington's work and achievement.

"Sunday was a full day at Bethany and any one attending the services; must have received their supply of spiritual food." Our pastor brought to us: Sunday morning a wonderful message. Text found in the 15th chapter of the Bible, "The Gospel." There was a part in this sermon for every man, regardless of his vocation or avocation. And it seemed to have had its desired effect. At 3:30 p. m., the Lord's supper was administered, the service was attended by a larger congregation than the morning services. The congregation rested with the entire church. There were eleven new members fellowshipped in the church at this service. the evening service was short. From 7:45 to 8:30 we listened to our pastor's second message; using as a text, Dan, 12:13. This, as did the morning sermon, found its place. The pastor fortunately had, as a visitor in the choir, in both morning and evening services, Miss Henrietta Hopkins of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church of New York city. Miss Hopkins is one of the leading soprano soloists of Greater New York. And with her wonderful voice, she rendered beautiful reputation. She reedered beautiful selection in both morning and evening services, and her assistance in the choir, in general, was noteworthy. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorors Paid Compliment By Head Of International House One of the social features of the recent gathering in New York City of young college men and women, members of Greek letter fraternities and sororites, was the formal dance given by Lambda Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, in honor of the unlicensed objectors. New Night. This affair was held at the International House, Riverside Drive at 12th street, and the guests were the Zeta Phi Beta Sororites and the delegates to Delta Theta Sigma, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. This occasion marked the first time the International House have been used in race groups, the arrangements having meen made through Miss Portia Wiley. Following the dance a letter was sent to Miss Wiley by Mrs. Harry E. Edmons, who is one of those in charge of affairs at the International House, the letter reading as follows: INTERNATIONAL HOUSE Riverside Drive and 12th street New York January 6, 1923 When letters of appreciation relative to any particular responsibility that I have had, come to me, I always find them most helpful and encouraging and with this thought in mind, I am writing to you as the one who war responsible for the arrangements for the Alpha Kappa Alpha theta fraternity for the morning after the dawn several of our associates here in the building came to speak to me with real appreciation of the care which you had given the hall and the fue dignity of the occasion. We find such a difference in groups, as I am sure you do, in the fraternity with people, hope that you and the members of the fraternity were pleased with the arrangements which we made for you.

Aldana jackson of the Jackson-Bond Music Studio, presented two of his advanced students at the regular Y W C A. service on Sunday afternoon, January 5th at four o'clock. Joseph Anderson, tenor and Merrill Daniels pianist, were the artists performing and the program was most enjoyable We are grateful to Mrs. Lucy Carter and Mrs. Addie Pennington for magazines for the Branch in the West 137th street branch of the "X." A special appeal is being made to the women of this community to give this organization support through their membership in it. The branch is meeting some need of practically every group in the community, either as individuals or as groups and it is failing to receive the attention of whom it serves. A membership of 100 people would be worthily small for this community and certainly the almost negligible joining fee of $10 cannot be said to stand in the way of a larger membership. very foundation upon which much of the effectiveness of the work depends, and an Association as large and active as this one deserves and needs a much larger membership. Join in January if possible! If not, infamy monthlil. Harry Smith Dedicated D. E. Tobias For Trustee Clubmen's Ben'l League When the annual election of the Clubmen's Beneficial League was held last December, two of the candidates for membership on the trustee board were tied with 33 votes each.

The special election was held in conjunction with the installation of the other officers on last Sunday afternoon and Mr. Smith was elected by 53 to 56 votes. The same time other officers were elected stalled for the ensuing year; Julius W. Watson, president; I. H. McCoy, vice president; John D. Younger, financial secretary; William L.

Infant Baptism Packs Small Eastside Mission The pastor of Mt Zion Mission, 127 East 100th street was utterly astonished on Sunday morning, not long since, when his small church filled to capacity rather earlier than it was wont. Besides worshippers who faced the same strange faces appeared in the midst as the sidewalks became crowded. The minister confided in one of the brothers who made an effort to find out what in the world was the matter on that particular Nabbath day. The little mission had never been filled in, and the pastor, Then Mr. and Mrs James Howard, 1839 third avenue arrived with their infant daughter, Evelyn Beatrice Howard, who was to be, baptized. The rest was plain 'Notices of the infant's baptism had appeared in the Manuscript Personal account of the New York Age, the Saturday before and the members had read it and told their friends.

RICKARD RANKS WILLS SECOND IN HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION, AND TIGER FLOWERS NEXT TO CHAMPION GREB In the first list to be compiled, containing the ranking of the first ten boxers of each division Tex Rickard, famous promoter, has listed Harry Wills, colored heavyweight champion, first among the contenders for Jack Dempsey's title. This is the first time Rickard has publicly admitted that Wills was the leading contender. Tiger Flowers of Atlanta, Ga., who has been a sensation in New York for the past few months, is listed as the leading contender for the middleweight title. Allentown Joe is listed ninth among the middleweight contenders. Al Brown of Panama is second on the list among flyweights; Kid Norfolk is third on the list of lightweights and George Godfrey is eighth on the list of heavyweights. Among the prominent colored boxers not listed by Rickard were Larry Istridge Jack McVey, Wilbur Cohen and Panama Joe Gans. The last apperated in the January issue of The Ring, a sporting publication Lincoln To Make Decision About Howard Football Game At Meeting Of Athletic Council Whether or not the Howard-Lincoln football game, the annual sports classic, will be played this fall, has been put up to the Lincoln University Athletic Council by the authorities at Howard. A decision in the matter will be made by Lincoln at the Athletic Council meeting next week, according to Dr. Walter G. Alexander, graduate manager of athletics. On January 7, Dr Emmett I. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard, addressed a letter to Dean George Johnson faculty representative on the Athletic Council, in which he asked whether the contract which the two schools had not the game would stand. Dr Alexander was called on the phone to find out whether a reply had been made to this letter. He stated that no reply could be made until the Athletic Council meeting. He intimated that the contract would stand as there was no rule of the Colored Intercollegiate Association which prevented a member from playing another team not a member of the organization. Dr Scott also addressed a similar letter to the athletic authorities at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. Such as can be learned no reply has been made to this letter and indications are that Virginia Normal will follow the lead of Lincoln in this matter.

Answer: If we carefully examine the nature of the vocal apparatus we must necessarily conclude that the voice is unmistakably a musical instrument. Accustomed as we are to think of it as a part of ourselves, the fact cannot be overlooked that it is in itself a complete instrument. Any musical instrument no matter how complicated it may seem, may be reduced to three general parts, unnely; a vibrating device (to give changes of pitch) a motor, or power mechanism (by which we may operate the instrument), and last a resonating device (to give resonance, tone color, and carrying quality to the sound produced). These three essentials of a musical instrument may be easily identified on the voice. First of all, the vocal cords act as the vibrators of the voiceinstrumental adjusting themselves automatically to make all changes of pitch. Then, the breathing apparatus acts as the power mechanism to set the vocal cords in vibration. Third the fair cavities of the chest, pharynx, mouth, nose, and skull compose the resonating system that gives to the voice its wonderful variety of resonance, tone-color, and volume. Now these three parts characterize not only the voice but all other musical instruments. Added to them in the case of the voice is a fourth and most distinctive feature which makes the voice supreme over all other musical instruments. I refer to the articulating device, composed of the mouth, teeth, tongue, lips and hard palate. Through these organs of speech the vocal instrument achieves the ability not only to make beautiful sounds, as all other musical instruments, but it is enabled to vest them with the peculiar vowel quality of speech, to make them articulate as no other instrument can possibly do. Question. Why do voices vary in quality? Answer Voices vary in quality because of the variation in size, shape, and texture of the vocal organs in different individuals. First of all the vocal cords themselves show variations. In the lower voices, they are thicker, coarser in texture. In the higher voices they are thinner and somewhat smaller. Also the larges, which contains the vocal cords, is smaller in the higher than in the lower voices. But the variation in quality is not continged to voices of different classifications. Voices of the same kind also vary. Of a hundred sopranos each will be of a quality slightly different, from the others, because of individual differences. The variation in shape and size of the mouth, throat nose, the cavities of the head, all of these help to account for the variation in quality in different voices.

"The great outstanding need of the Negro people today is training in social and business efficiency. Today, twelve million Negroes are in need of a new leadership, a constructive leadership, with power and endowment to tell the people How-How-To Do! Emacipate ourselves from idleness and indulence. Get busy and if something won't turn up, turn up something. "The muddy waters of the Ree Dec had been wasting over its rock-ribbed basin for years, but the energy and ingenuity of men dammed the stream, harnessed the power, and today hundreds of cotton mills, and as many cities and towns, are being electrified and illuminated by the work of men's hands and brains. Colored men, harness your wasting energies, combine your financial strength, and build up Negro enterprises so as to employ your educated men and women. Colored men and women, cast down your buckets where you are, because we are on the Amazon of great opportunities and our chances are fresh and placid if we will only use them. A Story of Achievement "Young men, have vision. Pardon a personal reference which 'I must use to show that what one Negro has done another Negro can do. Thirty-nine years ago, I left Wilmington, my city home, friends and parents, and cast my lot in what was then a very small town, Laurinburg. I had a vision that I could do business like a white man and with about one dry-grods box of goods I moved into a little two-by-four brick store on Main street, and went to work selling groceries and second hand shoes, putting in eighteen hours per day, cating scent stations for breakfast and dinner, and for supper soda crackers, smoked hertings and a cup of tea. But I had the determination, and best of all, I had a loving and faithful wife by my side who bore hardships and made sacrifices as means to our success. The next year I grew a larger store, so I could carry dry goods and notions on one side and groceries on the other. "All during my toil, I was planning, and in a short while I was able to lease a lot and build a store and residence together. My store was the first plate glass front ever built in the town and after getting thus far on, my vision increased, and I soon had running the first wood and coal yard in the town. Then I saw the need of better homes for colored people. I built the first-awnscoated and plastered house ever rented to a colored man in Laurentburg. I saw business in farming and at one time planted three hundred acres in cotton, which amount no colored man of the county had planted. And so I have labored and served, until today I have a store that is no discredit to any people, employing eight to fifteen men and women of my own race in the various lines of my business activities Every Monday morning we collect, or at least try to collect, rent from twenty-four houses and lots "Young men, you will mean more to the business as a peanut vendor than as a headwaiter in some northern hash house, because in business there is some progression. The race's redemption lies in business co-operation. The laws for success in business are honesty, faithfulness, perseverance and courage. To get along without honesty means moral disaster; without faithfulness you get inefficiency; without perseverance you waste your time, if you leave out courage, there is a weak place that will mean a breakdown in some sudden emergency. Young men get busy, stop whining over grievances and seize opportunities, and instead of fussing over the chance to spend a dollar, work for a chance to make a dollar. Must Solve Our Own Problems "Fellow citizens, this great Negro problem is our problem and we must solve it. We must roll the stope away from the sepulchre of ignorance, selfishness, nonco operation and petty jealousy among ourselves. The white man nor the red man, nor the foreign man will ever change the condition of the Negro. We ourselves will change the attitude of the world towards us as soon as we change the attitude of ourselves towards each other. "The world loves courage and manhood, and as soon as we have the courage to stand for race pride and cooperation, making the Negro first last and always, and the manhood to preserve and protect the virtue of our wives and daughters, as soon as we, like the Jew, will walk by every body's store to get to one of our own, as soon as we exchange politics for business, indulence for thrift as soon as we remove Negro coatmarks from dirty restaurants and shorthair barhops, so soon will the Second Imprisonation come and we will command the respect in fullness of all people of the world. "Mothers, you need no longer rub the skin off your knuckles in the wash-tub educating your son to be a doctor, if you won't patronize your neighbor's son who is a doctor, you need no longer educate your son to be a merchant, if you won't patronize the colored merchants already struggling to do business I know a colored school with five hundred and fifty Negro students, and the principal and faculty pass by the largest colored department store in the South to patronize Syrians and Jews, thereby teaching and training that many Negro children to grow up with suspicion and enmity to Negro enterprises. "Fathers, you need to foster, support and build up Nexro enterprises so that you will prepare high grade business men as husbands for your high grade daughters. Lady teachers, you need to turn over new leaves in your lives so that when you decide to marry there will be high grade business men of every kind that will afford you comfort and comfort in your home life. Business intercourse will wear away white prejudice, for money is power. Last, but not least, make sincere friendship with the best white people in your respective communities, and to have friends you must show yourselves friendly. The races that have grown strong and useful have not done so by depending upon fault-finding with others, but by presenting to the world evidences of their progress, an agriculture, industrial and business life as well as religion, education and civic growth. Tennessee Preacher Objects To Rule Of Bryant, S. S. U. Sec'y Memphis, Tenn.—Charges that Ira T. Bryant of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the Sunday School Union of the A. M. E. Church, is dominating the policy of the A. M. E. Church in Nashville, and that he is forcing out of pastoral activity in that city all of the ministers who were friendly to Bishop Carey, this action being made, possible by Bryant's influence with Bishop Ranson, new head of the 14th episcopal district, are contained in an article written by the Rev. G. W. Williams, newly assigned pastor of Providence A. M. E. Church, De Soto Station, Memphis. The article was published in first issue of "The Plaindaler," a bi-monthly bulletin published by the church, with the pastor as editor. The Rev. Mr. Williams was formerly pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church, Nashville, and in his article make the charge that he was forced from that church over the protests of every member of the official board and in face of the fact that during the three years of his pastorate he had made the best report in the history of St. John Church. The change was made at the last session, of the ennessee annual conference held at Murfreesboro, but Rev. Williams charges that the real program had been laid out at caucuses at Columbia and other places a fornight or more before the annual conference date, and that Secretary Bryant dictated the changes, Bryant is charged with having opposed Bishop Carey, formerly in charge of the 14th district, and that every supporter of Bishop Carey had to be moved out of Nashville under Bryant's threat to "raise hell" if it was not done. The article by Rev. Williams is 45 follows. "BRYANT AND THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE "Before I begin to discuss the subject proper, permit me to say that under the guise of what they call a gentleman's agreement, the General Officers of A M E. Church have formed a kind of syndicate, controlling practically all of our publications so that when one of their members is involved the rank and file of the ministry and the laymen cannot speak through the columns of our papers, hence my appeal through the secular press At the close of the last General Conference and on our way home, we found one of the newly elected Bishops, Rt. Rev R. C. Ransom, D. D., at the head of the forces that make up the fourteenth Episcopal district Standing as we did with the preceding administration it would seem that the sympathy of the newly elected Bishop would rest with us but in this we were sorely disappointed. We were given to understand that it was an unparadonable争 where our ministerial alliance any where in Nashville save the Sunday School Union We would either have to bow and accept Mr Ira T Bryant's leadership and allow him to stay at home and tectate the policy of the A. M. E. Church in Nashville or get out of the city. We are out and that too, by Bryant's orders. At long range one can hardly bring himself to believe that a layman in the A. M. E. Church could ever grow so powerful that he could say to a bishop of the Church "You must move certain men out of Nashville or I will raise h—I with son" and his orders be obeyed, but that is just what happened according to the testimony of three P'Es of the Tennessee Annual Conference The right the Secretary of the Sunday School Union made against the heads of our Church general and against the shop of the fourteenth episcopal district in particular is no secrets. The majority of the minister of Nashville and the Tennessee Conference stood with the administration, some of those men were not full members of the Conference but it seems that they took point on the limped in and punished at the last annual conference. Now that is not the work of a new bishop save by dictation. Bryant was hopelessly beaten and repudiated by his pretense in his own home town and in the Conference where he holds membership. Thus he was weakened connectionally, to offset this he called on old friend the newly elected bishop to save the day at the peril of his life. Live Carey was demoted and every Bryante promoted The Church and the outside world do not know the man whom the A M E Church has at the head of our children's department. He will spend the church money, collect all disgruntains in the local charges together and adduce them not to pay dollar money, educational money, Easter day, trustees and steward's money, he will enter into local business affairs of the various charges, and lead the members against the plan of the pastor, and if you tail to meet all claims under such circumstances as that he will brand you as being a failure thus his little All men and no the floor of the Conference. This is the type of plan that forced the bishop to move G. W. Williams from St John, Nassau over the protest of every member of the official ward and in place of the fact that we had made the best report in the history of her existence. To those of us who know the Murfreesboro meeting wasumpy, an informal affair. The real Conference was held at Columbia and at subsequent meeting a fortnight or more before the date for the opening of the Annual Conference. The Chancellor was not there when the appointment were made, he had done his dirty work took one of his and retreated to some portion of his den to wait the tidings and I am told that he tell down and rolled laughing when he heard how the men acted while the execution was being carried out. In the grimstricty age of her history and throughout subsequent years the M. M. Church has held first place in all things that pertain to the development and uplift of the race. She has taken the lead in the work of education expansion and business endeavors. Her leaders in a very large measure have been the spokesman for the race. It is a very strange thing therefore to see a bishop of this great church yield his place and dance to the music of some one else. It is a sad and painful sight to see a bishop highly educated harness up ignorance without horse sense and place it in charge of intelligence. In the Tennesse Conference we saw at least that down of the most reputable leaders highly educated, graduate from such schools in Wallace, Morris Brown Allen and Fisk, young alba- bodied men taken down from presiding and moved as pastors and white places were filled with some of the eminent ignorant men in the church. Indian men who are without reputation of any consequence practically were made presiding Edlers of strateg, and yet held points like Nashville and Shelbyville where they meet the intelligence of Meharty, Pisk, A. and I, State, Normal, Roger Williams, Waldron and Turner College together with one of the best public and city school systems in the South. PHI BE ANN Urges Philadelphia noon of F Why this 'swinging' of the pendulum of educational fitness back to the old anti-bellum days can have but one and only one meaning, to compensate those who serve meats at the table of the grand goblin who are now enthroned in Tennessee, welding the big stick over those who dare to oppose him, but like Aithi and Israel of old, his days are numbered, the God that lives in the heart of men and holds the destiny of mankind in his hand is not dead, no he still lives. I challenge the honest, upright Christian, leader of the Sunday School Department of the A. M. E. Church to let down the bars, surrender all legal tectalities that shield him in law and I will do the same. Open the columns of his paper to me to say all I know about him and if I fail to prove to the outer Christian world that he is totally unfit for the job he now holds I will quit the ministry and sign a bill. Ex-Slave From Virginia Died, Middleton, N. Y., Leaving $50,000 Estate Middletown, N. Y.—Thomas E. Smith, born a slave in Virginia, died on January 6, possessed of property that approximates $50,000 in value. Mr. Smith escaped from slavery and joined the Union army during the Civil War. After Emancipation, he came to Middletown an opened a small shop, selling antiques and second-hand good. By close attention to business, and exercise of commercial sagacity, Mr. Smith built up a fine establishment and won the respect of the community. He was active in working for the Prohibition party, and was nominated at one time to a position on the State ticket. The Salvation Army was also one of his interests, and several years ago he went to England as a delegate from this country to the Jubilee Celebration of that organization. One of his finest realty holding was a four-story brick block on Main street More Negroes and Aliens Than Whites Are Added To Chicago's Population Chicago—Who moved to Chicago between the years 1910 and 1920? For each two native whites who came to the metropolis, five Negroes were added and twelve foreigners, according to Professor Hornell Hart. of Bryan Mawr College, speaking here before the American Statistical Association. "The restriction of immigration will cut into the additions to city population," he said. "Whether the foreign elements will be replaced by Negroes remains to be seen." During the period under consideration the city attracted 45,000 more young men and women between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five than left. On the other hand many more persons over thirty left than came in, with a resulting net gain of native whites of only 25,000. At the same time 60,000 Negroes and 150,000 foreign immigrants were added. The population was also increased about 250,000 by excess of births over deaths. "The men who sought their fortunes in Chicago, the speaker said, averaged about twenty-three years while the women were only twenty. Negroes coming into the city averaged decidedly older than the other groups while native whites were the youngest. Professor Hart pointed out that the entailing of foreign immigration would lessen the increase in city population as compared with country, but believed the general movement toward cities had not yet reached its height. New York City—Judge Francis Manchuso, in the court of General Sessions, gave complete and unconditional freedom as a New Year greeting to 100 men and women who were on probation.

Cooper Making Splendid Record As Chief Negro Detectives at St. Louis St. Louis, Mo.-Twenty-four men and two women represent the Negro race on the police force of this city and recent reports from headquarters show that all of them are making good. The ranking Negro officer is De- tective Sergeant Ira L. Cooper, and some of the cleverest bits of detective work in recent years are accre- dited to him. The most recent effort along this line was his apprehension of two men on a charge of holding up and tobbing Mrs. W. Arthur Stuckney, a wealthy society woman, $1500 in jewelry. Mrs. Stockney was held up on November 10th in Due Road, near the St. Louis Country Club grounds, Detective Sergeant Cooper was put on the case assisted by three other color of detectives, Johnson, Harris and Saunders. In some manner Cooper's suspensions were directed forward a man who was out on bond on a previous robbery charge, but the fellow had vanished from his usual haunts and could not be located. Cooper caused it to be quietly let out that he wanted to talk to this man concerning the case in which he was out in bad, hoping in this way to throw off suspicion. The ruse worked and the wanted man walked into police headquarters to see Cooper. When faced with charges concerning the more recent crime, he weakened and cofessed, implicating others one of whom was arrested, and promised a restoration of all the stolen carsley. Detective Sergeant Cooper is credited with the solution of several other major crimes, including a bank robbery in which three men were on the street and a $5000 trust company blunder in which five men took part. Of the twenty five colored patrol-traits that are signed to the Second Sergeant from headquarters under charge at Detective Sergeant Cooper the take-throne being attached to the Eighth District under Capt McCourne. The two women are under Laut Brandephus at headquarters. New Orleans Negroes Pay Tribute To Gen.

Layton & Johnstone Biggest Hit In Europe The last issue of Variety, America's leading theatrical journal, printed a dispatch from London telling of the big hit made in Europe by the team of Layton and Johnstone, composed of Turner Lawton and Tandy Johnstone of New York. The dispatch is as follows: London, Dec 30. Probably the most successful act imported from America this season, all things considered, is Layton and Johnstone. Its team of colored entertainers has enjoyed a longer stay than any of the others and their income runs into fancy figures. Originally appearing in an obscure night club they were seen by Elsie Janis when she was framing her show for the Queens theatre, which opened last June. They proved one of the hits of the entertainment and were immediately in demand, at one time playing simultaneously with Miss Janis, at a local music hall and a cabaret. At present they are playing the halls and are practically the only act at the Cafe de Paris, at which they have been for the past six months and where they now receive a percentage of the gross with a guarantee. During the day they collect handsome fees for broadcasting and appear at two or three private entertainments almost every week. They will shortly leave town for 12 weeks to play provincial contracts which were made before they became the rage here, after which they will return and resume at the Cafe de Pa "Emperor Jones" Played In Benefit For North Harlem Dental Clinic A benefit performance for the North Harlem Dental Clinic of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association will be given on Tuesday and Wednesday nights of next week, January 20 and 21, at the Punch and Judy Theatre, 49th street, east of 7th avenue, where Paul Robeson is starring in Eugene O'Neil's great success, "Emperor Jones" Scats are now on sale at the office of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee, 202 West 130th street.

Jan 17 column; we simply would like to know how the readers are taking our first debate. Yours truly, "ETHEL" New York City Girls Should Not Smoke Here I am once more back in the colunin. I am supposed to tell you a few reasons why I think a girl shouldn't smoke. First, it is injurious to a woman's health. I don't suppose it will cripple you or make you go blind, but I mean it is just like taking poison drop by drop. Second, it is not wontowarily, because I think that men have always smoked and young boys used to think even their first long pants, did not make them seem like a man until they had smoked their first oligar: or cigarette. Smoking has always been associated with men, not women. Bl smoking, women cannot demand the respect that is due thouh. I am sure that there is not one woman that smokes, who would openly smoke in the presence of someone whose good opinion, of themselves, they valued—such as a child, or parent, or sweetheart, or husband. Another thing, it is a known fact that most doctors have been-arguing for years against Men smoking. Maybe in time they would have accomplished something, but now that women have taken it up what chance is there for the man to quit unless a few do so from disgust. There isn't any reason why they should smoke except to appear clever, or once done in fooling it becomes a habit. I don't know whether I have been very convincing or not. But maybe "Station MIN" will be. "STATION EAT" New York City One day last week, our ice dealer, a Mr Lee, a devout Christian, said to my aunt and me, "Come over to Calvary, there is going to be a great preacher there." So we decided to go. Calvary Baptist Church is located on Maple avenue, East Orange, N. J. So at 11 a.m. we wended our way. The service was impressive; the choir rendered beautiful music; a magnificent organ was skillfully played by a talented young man. The speaker was Rev C M Long, pastor of one of the largest churches in Norfolk, Va. His text was: "One thing I do know whereby I was blind but now I see." It was a wonderful sermon but "Pu-ta-Pa-t" did not have any paper so she could not write this sermon. But she was determined not to be outdone. So in the evening my family and I again wended our way to Calvary Rev Long's text was Hebrews 12:12 Subject: THI. CHRISTIAN RACI The Christian life is represented by various figures of speech. Paul speaks of warfare. Endure the fight like a good soldier. He was thinking of the Roman Army, when he returned to the breastplate of righteousness and the helmet of salvation. Paul was not wrong, he knew from experience and I hear him say. There is a war going on continually within us. If your Christian life is anything it certainly is a warfare going on continually. A Christian life begins with a conflict every morning we rise with a conflict and go to bed amidst one. "Sure I must fight if I would, reag, increase my courage, Loid." I do not care what you take in life, it is a fight. If it is an education, it is a struggle against ease and comfort of the reason we don't get any further, we won't fight. We mark time; and sorgetime are retreating. Paul had seen the great Olympic Race. A large crowd of spectators gathered, many were witnessing the race. When one enters the race, they pull most of their clothing off. You never see a person entering a race with a heavy overcoat on and bricks in his pockets. Whenever a man runs ready for a prize fight, he discards everything that may hinder him. We, too, are running a race. There are two headings which we will discuss. Lay aside every weight Run with perseverance We will discuss the first head. Lay aside every weight (secret sun). This Sunday night, as we face the New Year, lay aside every weight and run with patience the race that is set before us. There may be a weight of Doubt Doubting God's Wisdom, Love and Protection Remember the history of God in dealing with His people He is the same today We can't see the clouds of darkness hang over us Lay aside this weight of doubt and follow where Jesus leads Service The Keynote of This Great Business Institution DEAR GIRL: There is a weight of indifference. Every Christian has a calligraphy, an influence, a talent. Every Christian should, be on their Job. Every thought you think has some influence upon some one. The church may go on, but it would go on smoothly if each member would play their part. Every man must bear his cross, not only in church services but to the B. Y. P. U. and Missionary Society and other organizations. So the Apostle Paul said, I will come home a little closer. That personal weight that throws you up and trips you, lay it aside. Some people talk, talk, talk. Others have bad tempers; everything goes wrong. No one can serve the Lord who is always angry. There may be a weight of an unforgiving spirit. Some people want the Lord to forgive them, but they don't want to forgive anyone "He that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? There is a weight of worldliness. Oh how we are being swept away with case, pleasure, dress, and some other habit: Some think it is not a sin to smoke. Any man who puffs smoke away, while others are in need surely in committing a sin. Friends there are a lot of us that are holding our sins, and it is sapping out our lives. Do you know you can hold sin long. Lay it aside. There is only way young men, and women, and that is the right way. Lay it aside. Make a complete surrender, and then begin to sun. Dig deep a foundation. How did Newark, East Orange, and American civilization begin? They-selled the trees, and-then began. Keep on running. If you have money run; if you are poor, run; if you have health run. Don't let the world stop you. The prize is not to the swift, but to he that endureth, to the end." "Seeing that we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses." There are three worlds witnessing the Christian race. 1. The sinner's world is looking on (Everytime one of us falls the world knows it) Crutts are saying there is nothing to Religion. They are looking The Christian religion is being tested as never before. 2. The world which is habited by demons and devils is watching the church 3. I thank God there is another world He who brought this world with His blood is a witness. Every time a child is born, the heavens ring; the Holy Angels are anxious We are compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses. This sermon was impressive and very eloquently delivered, and as Rev Long was preaching I was thinking It pays in the end to be prepared Personally, each one of us needs it, the race needs it and God needs it to extend His Word May God's rich blessing be poured upon Him is my earnest prayer 6 6 6 Is a Prescription prepared for COLDS, PEYER 'and GRUPPE It is the most speedy remedy we know.

C. Motson—Royal Rulledge with Brentall Whitfield St. Benedict's Nursery Begins Its Second Year Of Splendid Operation St. Benedict's Day Nursery is starting its second year of usefulness. In its splendid new building at 27 West 122nd street it had been operating just one year in December. Perhaps there is no charity in Harlem doing a finer work than that done by the Sisters of the Order of the 'Hand-maidens of the Most Pure Heart of Mary,' or lending a more helpful influence. Under the direction of Rev. Mother Tlicodore, who is Superior, and with the co-operation of nine trained and highly efficient Sisters and one clinic, nurse, this organization, accounts its splendid work. During the first year of its service 382 babies and young children were carried for at the nursery. Many of these are very regular. Of this number 122 were from Catholic families and 400 were non-Catholic. They are divided into four groups, namely the Crib babies, the Todders, the Pre-Kindertners, and the Klindergartners. From seventy to ninety are taken care of every day at this season of the year, while in the height, of the summer season over one hundred children have been there in one day. The age range is from eight months to seven years. A child must enter between 7:30 and nine in the morning and may remain until 6:30 and in the evening. The days are from Monday until Friday, with no Saturday, Sunday or holiday open. The cost is 30 cents for one child, or 50 cents for two. Each child is given three meals a day. The milk used is the best. The food is balanced according to the best standards, with the clinic and medical care under supervision of Dr. Everett E. Best. Each child is thoroughly examined on entering and the standards imposed by the Board of Health regulations are rigidly enforced. Every child has its own little bed for its nap at a regular time. A bath is given and it receives all the training and instruction proper for its age and ability. Every facility in equipment is there for health and play and the kindergarten is standard in every way. Cleanliness and sanitation are all that could be desired. The building is new and up-to-date, it is beautiful and the standard of efficiency is a part of the general appeal Beside the shaded staff of instructors and nurses, a board of directors acts in an advisory capacity whenever needed, with regular meetings. The personnel of this board includes Dr. E. B. Best, president; Mrs. J. W. Rose, vice president; Mrs. F. B. Allen, secretary. Monishour O'Keefe, treasurer. The upkeep is maintained principally through donations, as the nominal charge of 30 cents a day is entirely inadequate for the work. It is however, one of the long list of constructive and permanent charities which are in the Major League of Charity opportunities. St. Mark's Church Lyceum During the month of January the program at St. Mark's Liceum will be in charge of the newly elected chaplain, Mrs. Juanna Robinson, wife of the pastor, who has engaged Rey O Houston or the Metropolitan M E Church to deliver addresses each Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. The public is invited to come and hear him; all are welcome Christening of Steamer By Black Cross Nav. Co. Sunday, Jan. 18, Pier 75 The Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co., subsidiary body of the U. N. I. A., announces that, on Sunday, January 18, the first ocean liner to carry on ocean trade in interest of the Negro raco will be christened preparatory to its sailing on a trade route to Central and South America and the West Indies. The ship, the Booker T. Washington, is a vessel of 5,300 tons, and it has been purchased by the Black Cross. Navigation and Trading Co., for the transportation of freight and passengers. The christening ceremony will be held at Pier 75, North River, at the end of West 35th street, and an elaborate program has been prepared for the occasion. Among the prominent citizens who have accepted invitations to be present and speak on this occasion are State Assemblyman Pope B. Bidlups, Alderman John William Smith, Bishop George Alexander McGuire, Hon. Marcus Garvey, Hon. Willis Sherril, Lady Henrietta Vington Davis Surrogate J. P. O'Brien and Congressman Royal H. Weller. A musical program will be furnished by the band of the U. N. I. A., and a group of singers, including Mime. Frazier Robinson, Miss Ethel Oughton Clark, Miss Ethel Coffus, Prof. Packer Ramsay, and others. Tickets for the ceremony are to be procured from the offices of the Black Cross Co., at 56 West 135th street. The first cruise of the vessel will cover the southern trade route, with stops at Philadelphia and Norfolk, enroute to Havana, Cuba, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Kingston, Jamaica, Colon, Port Limon, Costa Rica and Bocasdel tara, Panama. Later on it is hoped that obstacles will be removed and that the vessel can be put on the African route, as originally intended. But when this is done, according to President-General Garvey's plans, other vessels will be purchased and th. West India trade routes maintained.

Catholic Probation Work To Be Expanded, Announces Patrick Cardinal Hayes Patrick, Cardinal Hayes, has announced through his secretary of charities, the Rev. Robert K. Keegan, an expansion of the work of the Catholic Charities, with a special intent to thoroughly demonstrate the possibilities of the probation system under the criminal code. The work will be under supervision of Edwin J. Cooley, chief probation officer of the Magistrate's Courts, who has been given a leave of absence to do this work. He will have a staff of social workers, a mental clinic, employment bureaus and other facilities. The work is to be directed specially in behalf of young Catholics who run foul of the law, between 16 and 25, and is simply a specialized expansion of work carried on the past Catholic agencies in connection with a similar work by Protestant and Jewish bureaus. Correction and discipline are to be essential elements.
