BLACKED HIS FACE THEN ATTEMPTED TO ROB HIS AUNT Manhattan White Man Goes To Staten Island, Masks As Negro, To Steal
Richard McNamara, a white man, of 26 West 65th street, disguised himself as a Negro by smearing his face with burnt cork, and then, with two companions, went to the home of his aunt, Mrs. Edith S. Sullivan, 362 Bement avenue West Brighton, Staten Island, and held up Mrs. Sullivan and her 18-year old daughter, Julie, at the point of a pistol and attempted to steal their jewelry and money.
An unidentified boy, on the outside, chanced to make a note of the automobile license number, with the consequence that two hours later police officers picked up McNamara at the St. George ferry terminal. He was still blackened. A search discovered a supply of burnt cork, and two revolvers. When his face had been washed, and he was confronted by Mrs. Sullivan, he was identified by her as a 22-year old newep. His companions had disappeared, but the police have their names.
The police have for several weeks been looking for a supposed "Negro" hold-up man, and believe that in arresting McNamara they have solved the riddle.

---
The bill introduced in the State Assembly by Abraham Grenthal Assemblyman from the 19th A. D. New York City, looking to relief for tenants through compelling landlords to eliminate nuisances, make necessary repairs and preserve sanitary conditions, the full text of which was printed in the Age of January 17, has received the unqualified endorsement of Assemblyman Edmund B Jenks, chairman of the Judiciary Committee
In reply to a letter written by Perry L. Bishop of 5 West JHST street, urging support of the bill, Assemblyman Jenks wrote as follows
"From a brief examination of this bill it has seemed to me to be the fairest and at the same time the most efficient bill for the protection of the rent payers that has been introduced in our House in quite some time. Unless my attention is directed to something which I have not as yet seen in the bill, I shall give it my unqualified support. Thanking you for direction by attention particularly to this bill and for expressing to me your opinion of it I am, very truly your.

The suggestion is made that other citizens of Greater New York follow the example of Mr. Bishop and write chairman Jenks and the Assemblymen from that respective districts, urging favorable action on the Grenthal bill

His Opinion Of Robert Russa Moton, His Successor
"I think it would do any one good to attend one of Major Moton's Sunday-school classes when he is explaining to his students, in the very practical way which he knows how to use, the mistake of students allowing themselves to be embittered by injustice or degraded by calumny and abuse with which every colored man must expect to meet at one time or another. Very likely he will follow up what he has to jayy on this subject by some very interesting articles which the author of this acquaintances which will show how much easier and simpler it is to meet prejudice with sympathy and understanding than with hatred; to remember that

In Giving Freedom To The Slave We Assure Freedom To The Free"
Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress, and of this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down with honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we know how to save the Union responsibly. In giving freedom to the free, Honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve, we shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.

Rumors that have been circulating throughout Harlem the past week to the effect that Grand I saluted Ruler J Finley Wilson had suspended I Dalmius Steele exalted ruler of the Manhattan Lodge No 43, for defying the grand lodge officers last December, are without foundation, declared Mr Steele on Wednesday morning.

BROWN & STEVENS BANK, PHILA., IN HANDS OF RECEIVERS
BROWN & STEVENS BANK, PHILA., IN HANDS OF RECEIVERS
Philadelphia, Pa. ---William R. Smith,
Deputy Secretary of Banking, was appointed temporary receiver of the private bank of Brown & Stevens Tuesday by Judge Davis. The bank, with approximately 6,000 depositors and deposits of $750,000, had closed its doors earlier in the day after a "run," which started Monday.
Colonel Fred Tayloe Posey, who was named as counsel for the receiver placed the bang's assets and liabilities at about $1,000,000 each. A large part of the assets, he said, was invested in real estate, which could not be realized on quickly.
He added that the receivership was voluntary and that under the law the private fortune of E. C. Brown, the President, may be sacrificed to make good any losses to creditors.
Depositors who had been clamoring outside the closed doors of the bank for their money later pledged $150,000 of their money to safeguard the credit of the bank President Brown told them every depositor would receive "dollar for dollar."

The trouble arose at the annual election of officers of the Manhattan Lodge when Grand Exxakter Ruler Wilson came up from Washington and attempted to conduct the meeting with the idea of deposing Mr. Steele as head of the lodge. The local leader became defiant and Mr. Wilson had to be escorted from the room under police protection to prevent a riot. The lodge reconfirmed and reelected the old officers

In striking contrast to the hullabaloo which usually attended his pathway, and which has been conspicuous in all of his previous public appearances while in conflict with the law and its officials, Marcus Garvey, president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and provisional president of Africa, made a quiet and unnoticed entry into the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., on Sunday afternoon, February 8, handcuffed and shackled between two United States deputy marshals.
Charles Dancey Attacks Judge Francis McQuade
Court Dismissed Case Sponsored by Stool Pigeon And Dancey Is Sore VISITS DISTRICT ATTORNEY Wants Case Taken To Grand Jury and Indictment Asked For
Charles Dancey, Harlem's notorious police stool pigeon, became so incensed when his attempt to frameup Charles Irvin Brooks, a tailor, and world war veteran, collapsed as Judge McQuade dismissed Dancey's charge that Brooks had stabbed Joseph Washington, known to the police and Harlem's underworld as "Specks," that he went down to the District Attorney's office and attempted to prefer charges against Judge McQuade, questioning the judge's authority to dismiss the case.
Evidence of Dancey's rehance on his standing with the police in the both Precinct is seen in the fact that he went to Assistant District Attorney Malone a few days ago, and made complaint of what he alleged was Judge McQuade's unfair ruling in the Brooks case Dancey introduced himself, it is alleged as a Police informer in the both Precinct, and attempted also to convict the imputation that the court action was influenced by that "n—r

DR. MOTON TO SPEAK
An educational mass meeting is to be held Sunday afternoon, February 15, at Abyssinian Baptist Church. West 138th street, at 3:30 o'clock. The principal address will be delivered by Dr Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and, the Tuskegee Quartet will sing.
When he was taken from the Tombs on Saturday, enroute to the Pennsylvania station, to embark on the last stage of his journey which will not end, under the court's sentence, until five years have passed, there was a crowd of some five thousand of his faithful admixtures thronging the corridors and are maps of the building. Exclamations of sympathy greeted the leader's ears, and there was a noticeable strut in his hearing as he marched, ironed but unafraid, between the two husky deputies who were detailed by his escort
Still The Leader.
A prison, in the law's clutches, he was still, to the thousands assembled, the idolized leader, the great Marcus, the president-general—and the law's victim. Women in the crowd thrust themselves into the middle or the passage, hoping to have a last grasp of the hand of their leader, and to give him the comfort to be gotten from a sympathetic touch of the hand, and the sight of tear-dammed eyes. And, too, there were muttered invocations deploring what they termed injustice, and pledging themselves to keep the banner of the U. X. I. A, flying until his return.
The thirty-hour ride from the immense terminal at 33rd street, New York to the somewhat smaller edifice in the southern city, Atlanta, Georgia's capital, was unventeous, but it gave President Garvey ample leisure to reflect upon the tearful, prayerful, sorrowful goodbye which rang in his ears through the long, lonesome hours.
Contrastful Occurrence
His entrance upon the life which is to hold him for the next 60 months, or loss, was without incident. Only the pententary officials witnessed his incoming, and to him he was just another male factor, just a prisoner, sent up to do "stretch" of five years for using Ulele Saints mails to take 'candy' from babies as they termed Garvey's schemes for getting his deluded followers to part from their hard-earned dollars. So they only held him for a few minutes at the warden's office while he gave his name and other information before being assigned to a cell. Just seven days earlier on Monday, February 2, the U. S. District Court of Appeals had affirmed the sentence passed on Garvey two years ago. That Monday afternoon, the U. N. I. A. leader left, with his wife, for Detroit to make a speech. He was delayed in retraining, and so Assistant United States Attorney Mattucks, who had prosecuted the case, asked Judge Hand of the Federal Court, for a bench warrant for Garvey's arrest, fearing that the convicted man might take advantage of his proximity to Canada and leave the jurisdiction of this country. Garvey is a British subject and his offense is not extraditable. In asking for the warrant, it was asked also that the bond of $15,000, posted by Mrs Garvey pending her husband's appeal, be forfeited.

MARCUS GARVEY NAMES THREE TO CARRY ON WORK
MARCUS GARVEY NAMES THREE TO CARRY ON WORK
Just before he left for the Federal pison at Atlanta, on Saturday, February 8, Marcus Garvey appointed William Le Van Sherrill, second assistant president general; Clifford S. Bourne, chancellor, and G. E. Carter, secretary general, as a trumurate to handle the affairs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association until the annual election of officers in August.
At the same time he appealed to the members of the organization to stand by these officers and help them to make good. He also urged them to cheer up,
Would I not go to hell a million times, for you? Would I not, like Macbeth ghost, walk the earth forever for you? Would I not lose the whole world and eternity for you? Would I not cry forever before the footstool of the Lord Omnipotent for you? Would I not died a million deaths for you? Then why he sad. Cheer up and be assured that if it takes a million years the sins of our enemies shall visit the millionth generation of those that hinder and oppress us.
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
the man who abuses you because of your race probably hasn't the slightest knowledge of you personally, and, nine times out of ten, if you simply refuse to feel injured by what he says, will feel ashamed of himself later. I think one of the gretest difficulties which a Negro has to meet is in travelling about the country on the railway trains. For example, it is frequently difficult for a colored man to get anything to eat while he is travelling in the South, because, on the train and at the lunch counters along the route, there is often no provision for colored people. If a colored man goes to the lunch counter where the white people are served he is very likely, no matter who he may be, to find himself roughly ordered to go around to the kitchen, and even there no provision has been made for him.
"Time and again I have seen Major Moton meet this situation and others like it, by going up directly to the man in charge and telling him what he wanted. More than likely the first think he received was a volley of abuse. That never discouraged Major Moton. He would not allow himself to be disturbed nor dismissed, but simply insisted politely and goodnatured, that he knew the custom, but that he was hungry and wanted something to eat. Somehow, without any loss of dignity he not only invariably got what he wanted, but after making the man he was dealing with ashamed of himself he usually made him his friend and left him with a higher opinion of the Negro race as a whole."

POLICEMAN REUBEN CARTER MAKES GREAT RACE AND TAKES SECOND PLACE, WINNING FORD TOURING CAR Third Prize, $325 Diamond Ring, Goes To Another Brooklyn Minister, The Rev. Thos. S. Harten, While Charles A. Davis, Harlem Taxicab Owner, Wins Furniture After holding the unwavering interest of all for the past ten weeks, The New York Age Campaign closed Saturday night February 7, when the judges awarded the prizes to thirteen winners at The New York Age office
The Subscription Campaign is over and the strain that everyone connected with this affair has been under, has been happily relieved. It was a sturgeous time all round, and an anxious one to be sure, but how that the race is over, and the results announced, everyone is apparently satisfied.
Most Successful Campaign
Naturally the greatest struggle was for the 1925 Buck Master Coach—worth $1,630—and all. interest centered on the leaders during the past few weeks. The New York Age offered the finest prizes obtainable. They were willing to pay for good work and they got it. Never in this community has there been such an all around successful campaign as the one just closed by the newspaper.
Thousand of Subscribers
The aggregate yote totals reached enormous figures representing several thousand paid-in-advance subscribers which, added to their already big list, fixes the place of leadership among Harlem newspaper with The New York' Age.
This is a decisive victory and the fact that this campaign was completed to the satisfaction of every judge (men of unquestioned integrity and distinction) and all candidates, does credit once more to the unvarying standards which The Age has always held.
Good Will of Public.
To our new readers and our old ones as well, whose loyalty and interest helped to make this campaign the huge success it was. The New York Age is indeed grateful and feels much indebted. On bench of both the candidate and the published, the public is entitled to the greatest thanks for the universal good will shown all during the progress of the campaign.
To those whose energy carried them through this campaign to success, The New York Age extends it heartiest congratulations. We are proud of the various candidates who took part in the competition, and we hope that they who by right of conquest have justly claimed their reward will be proud of the prizes won.
Other Considerations
While the prizes were remarkable for their value, there are other considerations to be taken into account. During the campaign those who participated have learned much that will always be of benefit to them. They have made new pleasant acquaintances, they have formed new and more correct ideas along business lines, and most of them have developed a new sense of observatism that will pay future dividends. The competition has been a splendid training and a valuable experience. It has taught, among other things, the value of perseverance and the courage essential in this never-ending conflict called life.
Survival of Fittest.
Of course, it is inevitable in a cam pagin of this kind that all the club members cannot be grand prize winners. That was understood from the beginning of the race. And, right or wrong, civilization accits and applies nature's rule of 'The survival of the tittest'
To accomplish a given purpose a great amount of energy is necessary and fortune seems to lavish her rich gifts upon those who are best equipped to carry on the mandates of ambition.
The New York Age is particularly pleased to note the exceptional display of good spotsmanship evinced by all the candidates. It was a great race and it leaves in bold relief the possibilities of that cardinal virtue—ambition
The Campaign Managers.
Mr. and Mrs. W J Kirkpatrick have been coworkers in managing the campaign, and feel that the measure of success attained reflects credit on every connected with the competition. Their appreciation of the cooperation accorded them has be in frequently expressed and they leave with many regrets that the very pleasant affiliation is cherished.

Nashville, Tenn.-The extent of the sympathy strike by Fisk, University students, following the suspension of four members of the students body on charging of rebellion against the rule of President F. A. Mckenzie, was demonstration on Sunday last when, although attendance on chapel is compulsory, only about fifty persons, including officials and faculty, attended morning services. The discontent at Fisk was brought to a head on Wednesday night, February 4, when male students at Fisk staged a demonstration on the campus against the驳称 tyranny of Dr. McKenzie's administration. This action by the students followed a speech at chapel by President McKenzie, in which the rebuked several of the students for alleged failure to observe rules. It is charged by the students that these rules are too "strait faced and puritanical, taking away student initiative, and even forbidding seniors, male and female, front walking together on the campus
Studenta Had Retired
Following the campus' demonstration, the students retired to their dormitories, but it is alleged that in he meantime Dr McKenzie had sent in a riot call to the police, which was followed by the advent on the campus of some fifty officers, armed with riot guns and side arms. These officers, it is claimed, invaded the boys' dormitories, searched rooms, opened trunks, looking for firearms, as they claimed, none of which were found, and in the process, it is alleged, cursed, maltreated and abused the Negro students for 'being sassy to a white man,' referring to President McKenzie
Five students were placed under arrest: Robert Anderson of Charlotte, NC; Victor Perry of Lousville, Ky; Edward Goodwin of Tulsa, Okla; Edward Tayler of Tuskegee, Ala; and Charles Lewis of Chattanooga, Tennessee boys were arraigned in the City Court on Thursday morning, after being kept in jail all night. They were represented by former Governor A H Roberts and John Rhunes, as attorneys and although they were fined $100 each, the judge gave them all suspended sentences.
Suspend Four Students
Following the court action, President McKenzie and the faculty took action, suspending four of the five students, Anderson, Perry, Goodwin and Lewis Taylor was not suspended, but he left the school and campus, going to New York City, leaving there after a couple days, for Tuskegee Institute, where his father, R R Taylor, is superintendent of industries.
Warrants were also issued for J B Crawford of Texarkana and George W Streator of Nashville

N. J. MAD MAN ON RAMPAGE IN SOUTH ORANGE RESTAURANT
Saw Image In Glass Smashes It And Cuts His Own Arm
South Orange, N J—Russel Evans 786 Clinton avenue, Newark, took a trip up the hill to South Orange to have dinner in a restaurant at 5 South Orange avenue, Sunday night, but the dinner apparently did not digest just right because Evans walked the dinner in a rage and swore by the jury of the events that he was coming back—not to pay the check, but to get resentage.
True to his promise, Evans came back and in his hand, instead of money there was a 48 calibre steel Smith and Wesson revolver. Up until then the proprietor had been the boss but it bore him in arm and he turned around in the restaurant to toil in his hand just one time and there wasn't a soul left in the place but him.
Becoming more vexed because customers, cooks, waiters, dishwashers, boss and everybody else ran out of place and left him all alone. Evans sat on the spite out on the dishes, tables and chairs and from appearances of the walls he wielded a wicked ketchup bottle
After he had literally "cleaned out" the lunch room, I vanished left, without mopping up the floor. At the door he saw the splashes of ketchup spattered on his collar and shirt bosom and the evil in his own eye reflected by the plate glass in the door which caused him to thrust his fist through a working at his own image and cutting, a deep gash in his right forearm. With bleeding arm, clothes spattered with ketchup and pistol in hand, I vanished into a drug store next door but the drugstores didn't know what it was all about and didn't want to see. I vanished then a whole drug store by himself and didn't know what to do with it. Someone notified the police and they of them walked in the drug store and saw a man sat on a pistol which was loaded and went out with the officer, who charged him with drug orderly conduct on Sunday night.
ROBBERS START FIRE, FRIGHTEN TENANTS, THEN ROB
Jersey City, N.J. — James Williams, 50, 52 Golden street, is being held by the police for having started a fire in the three-story frame building 420. He vexed me for the purpose of frightening out of the building to allow him a chance to loot their apartments. The building is owned by Louis Ziff, who alleges Williams started a fire in the air shaft on the third floor and when the tenants died to the streets, the tenants later recovered in the basement Williams was taken into custody by patrolman Monahan and Detectives Walt and Miers. He is being held for further hearing pending an investigation.
Police Use Tear Gas On Suspect, Shoot Him
Jacksonville, Fla.—Policemen of this city have been seeking a man whom several women have accused of attacks recently. Willie Washington was suspected as having been the assailant of four of the women according to description given the police and they attempted to make the arrest. Washington took refuge in an attic and offered a stubborn resistance until the use of a tear bomb was employed. In his effort to escape the gas, Washington was shot by one of the officers and died immediately.

Mother Zion Church Is A Vital Force
(Continued from First Page)
Among the active organizations of the church are a Brotherhood, Sisterhood and a Church Aid Society, each of which is a henevolent body, paying sick and death benefits to its members. Other interests in the church membership are taken care of by four young people's recreational clubs for boys and girls. The Orioles for boys, with Daniel Taylor of the New York City Mission Society as manager; a Junior Church, Mrs. Louise Congo, supervisor; a Teacher Training Class, Mrs. Alaria Kline, supervisor; and Boy and Seutc, hasball and basketball clubs, Mrs. Congo and Mrs. Kline are workers from the N.Y. City Mission Society.
Doors Open To All.
Besides caring for its own organization activities, Mother Zion has opened its doors to all the fraternal bodies of the city, and most of them have at some time or other, been guests of the church in Harlem. The church has given liberally also to the support of community work outside of its own parish, and has done a large work in the way of furnishing foliages and meals for poor and destitute, securing employment for unemployed, and in sending out baskets of food at Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.
The church has a trained nurse on its roster of workers, who visits the sick and in cases of necessity the church frequently buys medicine and pays doctor's fees. That the membership might be kept in touch with all the varied interests of the church a monthly organ is published. The Church Messenger, a four-page paper, well-identified journal of staff content of Miss Louis Jeanneret editor; Miss Anna Robinson associate editor; and Mrs Valaraan Wells Harris, contributing editor.
New Edifice Going Up.
The new church edifice is rapidly assuming striking proportions. The work is going forward, now the standing unattractive weather conditions, as it is possible the inside workmen labor has borrowed the sum of $165,000 needed to stop on the outside. There has already been paid on the new building the sum of $189,000, aside from the $49,000 paid for the land, and the church has borrowed the sum of $165,000 to insure completing the building.
With the completion of the church edifice, and the consequent moving of the religious activity from the 18th street edifice, that building is to be converted into a comprehensive Community House with its 4 floors redesigned to accommodate the various interests now inadequately cared for at 129. The 16th floor will be a gymnasium while the administration offices rooms for social services and welfare work are placed on the second floor. A hand and test rooms will occupy the third floor while the fourth floor will be given over to dormitories. The cost of this alteration will total $100,000.
854,000 More Is Needed.
For the church project there is needed the additional sum of $54,000 for the acquiring of an organ, news, pulpit furnishings, windows and electrical fixtures. A special appeal is being made to the culture community for assistance in securing this money. It has been estimated that approximately $10,000 people of the city was annually though the doors of Mother Zoom Church, and it is suggested that a splendid testimonial from this group of those who are benefited by the church's ministrations would be the making of special contribution of $1 each toward providing this needed sum.
Ursula completed the church building and Community House will represent a host of 554,500, a remarkable markable input for this racial group the building committee. This tremendous task is made up of the local Board of Trustees and a benevolent committee composed of the bishop and some of the general office of the church. Its personnel are follows.

modated in the Community House. It is to be made a center of activities for young people under supervision of trained workers. It will supply a recreational center where children may assemble after school, from 3 to 8 p.m., while parents are away from home, and receive instruction in organized play, instructional, white paper and personal hygiene, while children are at rest. Club work will be provided for boys and girls with access to the gymnasium facilities, and this will be extended young men and young women.
Other work, contemplated will be a weekday school of religious education; a daily vacation Bible school; classes in needle work and household art; fresh air air settings for mothers and children; visiting schools for Mother Zion; and est rooms for the meeting of members of the church and their friends.
Pastor Brown and his officers deserve, and will appreciate the goodwill of citizens of the community, and emphasis is given the suggestion that this goodwill may best be shown by special contributions of at least $1 each from the individuals in the community who have at various times been benefited through some phase of the church's endeavors.

It is alleged also that the stockpound referred to the work of Assistant District Attorney James McLendon, the only Negro on District Attorney Barrant's list, is the most contentious manure a charge to Mr. McLendon that McLendon was a mere figurehead anyhow, and to no recent performing the duties of an Assistant District Attorney. In this connection it is said that Mr. McLendon is charged to pass hearns Dances she flipped the latter's talk with Malone and that Dances featuring McLendon in the have some knowledge of the disparaging remarks settled out of the building, like a scarf. Dances ought to be District Attorney's job. It charges against Barrant to grant him and ask for an undertow preaching Judge McQuad, action in the case, but Malone is reported to have suggested to Dances that if he really is a police information held best he can inform him he referred to the activities of a city marshal.
His reputed action of Dancesy is further proof of the need for sleep action to the police authorities, looking to the curbing of such infamous characters as Dancesy and his partner, Speaker who is acting as the police officer with reference to the murder of flat burglaries, 'recently being penetrated in Harlem'. It is declared that Cormoran once urged Ursight should some issue in order to the police officers using men as Dancesy was writing the volving men as Dancesy was writing the volving men as Dancesy and his partner, Neck, who are alleged to have criminal records. It is mentioned that they have committed and held up morbidities of the community, making pax graft.
OPPORTUNITIES IN HOUSES, apartments, high-class help, business and a multitude of other human needs are found every week on the classified page of The New York Age.
Efforts are being made by chemists of the Police Department of New York City; co-operating with Dr. S. M. Klein, of Corona, to ascertain the nature of the chemicals in making a gas in her home, that marry killed her husband, Samuel, jr. 18; Elizabeth, 16; Margaret, 12; Hazeldine, 14; Ida, R, and Alice.
At Dr. Klein's office it was said that the doctor, who was among the first to enter the Hemchil apartment yesterday morning, and who inhabited a large amount of the gas, was still suffering from the effects of the gas poisoning.
At the Flushing Hospital, where the husband and wife of Elizabeth were taken and at St. Hospital, Long Island City, where the other children are recovering. At Kling County Hospital, where Mrs. Hemchil was taken for observation, it was said that nothing could be said about her condition.
Police broke into the Hennchill apartment early yesterday morning and found Ms. Hennchill sleep in her bed. Her husband and two children were unconscious on the floor. The other children were in their beds unconscious. The rooms were filled with the odor of a strange gas. On the kitchen range was a pot over a lighted flame. There had been some liquid in the pot, but it had been boiled dry. The pot was nearly red hot. In the bottom of the pot was a sediment that had been left after the liquid had been evaporated. It is this sediment that is being analyzed by the chemists.
Mrs. Margaret Hill, who lives in an apartment under the Hennchills, told police that all Saturday she heard some one person walking about the Hennchill apartment Early Sunday morning she heard coming from the apartment and then she called the police. When the police came, Dr Klein was called
Dr. Klein said that he had treated Mrs. Hengtell previously and that she was suffering from a religious mania. During the past week, she had been greatly disturbed by the reports of the coming of the end of the world. She had been having prayer meetings and home with members of the church. She has for some time harbored the belief that she possessed occult powers and could aid and cure people by secret methods. The belief of the police is that she was trying to prepare the members of her family for the end of the world by means of a secret poison cooked on the store which nearly aspithiated them. Wife of the police and Dr. Klein entered the apartment and accused the Wrath of God. "She was unable to give any further explanation. She was then sent to Kings County Hospital for observation by orders of Dr. Klein

There are forty colored women working as pressers on dresses in the plant of Leo M. Cooper Company, 50 West 28th street who do not think that their working conditions are the best that any company can afford. Their wages are $81 per hour for an 8 hour day and there is no opportunity for them as operators, since the colored girls are only given opportunity for washing soiled dresses and ironing them. The irons are heated with gas which adds to the steam heat of the building. The windows are closed all day causing the workers to perspire and suffer.

All the workers are young women for there is at least one woman with mixed hair in the group. Other instances are women who have aged parents to provide; others either have children that are being boarded in private; families or have debts that necessitate their helping their husband and others they are unpaid.

NO KITCHEN CABINET WANTED TO DICTATE APPOINTMENTS
Word comes from the seat of the National Government at Washington, that a small group of paid, political workers, who rendered more or less valuable service in the last Presidential campaign, have set themselves up ready to do business as the dictators of any appointments that may be made among Negro Republicans by the present administration. It strikes the unbiased spectator as a little too much of an assumption for these political workers, who were simply compensated for their labors and who are all candidates for some political job, to assume to dictate in such an important matter as appointments to offices by the President.
Word comes from the seat of the National Government at Washington, that a small group of paid political workers, who remained more or less valuable service in the last Presidential campaign, have set themselves up ready to do business as the dictators of any appointments that may be made among Negro Republicans by the present administration. It strikes the unbiased spectator as a little too much of an assumption for these political workers, who were simply compensated for their labors and who are all candidates for some political job, to assume to dictate in such an important matter as appointments to offices by the President.
In such matters as these the President the requires advice, is apt to consult with the Senators from the State where the candidate resides. If the Senators happen to of the opposite political party, as invably happens in the South during a Republican administration, the member of the National Committee for that State is contended. In most cases, the Senator or Comteeman is advised in advance of the qualifications of candidates for office from his state and is therefore in a position to advise President as to the wisdom of the appointment.
The unwisdom of a small group of political workers setting themselves up as a ward of brokers for the parcelling out of passage is obvious. The fact that the duo of these individuals ended with the close the campaign and the receipt of their last kick from headquarters, seems to have been a sight of. Their persistence in striving keep in the public eye in some way, other than as revealers or participants in ignoble campaign scandals, is pitiful. Those who have been telling tales on one another should seek the seclusion of private for a while, while the candidates for jobs should devote their efforts to clinching theorsements that their labors have earned from this sort of seeking to become the dictator of colored appointments savors of what to be called "kitchen cabinet" methods, they are not wanted in this day and time. People of the various States are able to their own thinking in the way of sugging competent appointments to office, by the function of the newspapers to venue these suggestions and criticise or comed them, as the occasion may demand.

THE LESSON OF GARVEY

The decision of the United States Court of Appeals, which affirmed the verdict of a jury in the United States Court rendered nearly two years ago, convicting Marcus Garvey of using the mails to defraud, marks the inevitable end of his perversion of genius. It must be admitted that in his line the promoter of the Black Star Steamship line was a genius of the first order. If his methods had conformed more closely to the usages of legitimate business and had been combined with more commonsense and less arrogance and bumptiousness, Garvey might have escaped conviction and rendered useful service to the black people who were his dupes.
Garvey had the rare ability to enlist the attention and command the support, both moral and financial, of a greater number of the masses of the Negroes than almost any other individual. He voiced a special appeal to the black people and to those furthest down in the social scale, evoking in them the sentiment of racial pride and self-respect and webbing it into cooperative efforts. That these efforts were rendered fruitless was due to his overwhelming egotism and obstinacy in rejecting advice and insisting upon dominating every detail himself.
Whether his steamship line would ever have proved successful as a legitimate concern dealing in freight and passenger traffic is a most question, as it never had a chance under the system of financial mismanagement under which it was started. It is open to question if carvey deliberately started out to defraud the purchasers of stock in his various enterprises, including the steamship line. But the result of his policy was the same as he had done that very thing. Then his all advised attempt to conduct his own defense upon his trial clinched the matter, to the satisfaction of the judge and jury.
Regret must be felt at the outcome of the
ambitious aims so vaingloriously volced by Garvey and his satellites. The waste of money and effort is only part of the loss entailed through his failure to make good. On the other hand, the creator of the black cult must be credited with having awakened a number of his followers to the possibilities of racial achievement through enterprise and cooperation. Whether this sentiment will survive the downfall of the leader remains to be seen.
One lesson to be dawn from Garvey's career is that success in business of whatever kind cannot be achieved by empty, bluster and bluff. To build up a business requires trained effort. A steamship line demands more than glowing speeches, brass bands and a few unseaworthy hulks. It demands men trained in the business of handling ships, vessels that are capable of sailing the seas, and business connections that can command passengers and freights on terms that ensure a profit to the promoters and stockholders.
The ridiculous features that Garvey used to attract attention and divert his dupes, in the exploiting of a black cult, were provocative of dissension and bound to arouse interracial prejudices. This alone made Garvey a dangerous element in the community. His departure for Atlanta penitentiary to serve his sentence of five years, with the prospect of deportation at its close will be the logical ending of a racial tragedy in race development.
STORY OF AN ADVERTISEMENT
STORY OF AN ADVERTISMENT
An unsophisticated young woman conceived the idea that she might earn some pin money by taking care of the apartments of some bachelor, who would not be so exacting in his demands as a woman employer. Her idea was that she could go to the apartment not too early in the morning, make the bed, sweep and dust, during the absence of the occupant, and depart before his return. With a few customers of this sort, her income would be comfortable and her labors not too strenuous.
An unsophisticated young woman conceived the idea that she might earn some pity money by taking care of the apartments of some bachelor, who would not be so exacting in his demands as a woman employer. Her idea was that she could go to the apartment not too early in the morning, make the bed, sweep and dust, during the absence of the occupant, and depart before his return. With a few customers of this sort, her income would be comfortable and her labor not too strenuous.
But her idea did not work so smoothly as she had anticipated. The first advertising agency to which she submitted her advertisement bluntly refused to handle it. I read something like this:
Situation Wanted—By young colored woman as housekeeper in bachelor apartment. Address or call, Jane Doe—West—St Indignant at the refusal of the agency to handle her advertisement and not understanding the reason, the young woman went to the office of one of the big dailies. The clerk accepted her advertisement and it was duly printed. Then she found out that the judgment of the agency had been correct. Every prospective employer who applied for her services, took it for granted that her motive in soliciting such occupation was improper. Whether they came in person or sent word to her by mail, the motive that inspired them was the same, the expectation that she was open to improper advances. In fact when such proposals were refused, some of the prospective employers had no bones in telling her that she would not fit the place.
The question now arises where should the blame be apportioned for the shame and shortification which drove this young woman to leave her dwelling for the remainder of the week to avoid any more unwelcome callers, or the natural chagrin of these callers when they found that the advertisement had pooled them, so to speak. Of course, it will be maintained by the hardboiled contingent that an advertisement so worded was bound to be misconstrued, and would only attract the attention of those addicted to loose living. The discreet bachelor would be too cautious to answer such an advertisement,earing it as a trap.
Lack of sophistication in the ways of life in a great city is a positive drawback. Any young woman should realize that such an appeal would attract the vicious as molasses attracts flies. There are certain perils to be punned by women in a big city, especially attracting public attention or advances of an improper kind. It is tempting Providence to engage a taxicab which has an extra man besides the chauffeur. Too often the woman who takes such a cab alone is inside the victim of assault or robbed before her trip is over.
The wisdom of the serpent is still necessary to preserve the innocence of the dove. ignorance of certain evils and dangers is so often the betrayer of innocence. The young woman in question is now wiser than she was before her little experiment in advertising, but a believer in the total deprivation of mankind. This is a trifle unfair, because her effort attracted only interest of the long sort.
But her idea did not work so smoothly as she had anticipated. The first advertising agency to which she submitted her advertisement bluntly refused to handle it. It read something like this:

MORE MIGRATION PROBLEMS
A few weeks ago we had occasion to note plan of certain Southern cotton growers extend the importation of field hands from Mexico, to take the place of black labor in Mississippi and Louisiana, which has gone forth in the migration movement. About same time the Christian Science Moni- of Boston printed an editorial, in which defended the Mexican peon against theular impression of being lazy and loafing argued that all the needed was a proper
A few weeks ago we had occasion to note the plan of certain Southern cotton growers to extend the importation of field hands from Mexico, to take the place of black labor in Mississippi and Louisiana, which has gone North in the migration movement. About the same time the Christian Science Monitor of Boston printed an editorial, in which it defended the Mexican peon against the popular impression of being lazy and loafing and argued that all the needed was a proper incentive to labor. In this respect he does
not differ from, black labor, which he is intended to supplant. It remains to be seen whether the incentive denied the black workor will be given to his successor.
A number of States were cited where Mexican labor has been introduced during the last few years as farm and ranch workers, in railway construction and in mining and smelting operations. Beginning with Texas and California, this movement, it is claimed, has spread northward as far as Minnesota, including Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska and Oklahoma. At the same time, the migration of Negroes has spread to the Great Northwest, including Minnesota as well, where a reliable informant writes us that a million Southern Negro farmers could be absorbed and assimilated. There are still excellent chances awaiting industrious colored people in Minnesota.
The finest and sweetest granulated sugar beets are said to be raised in Minnesota and there is opportunity to engage in the cultivation of this crop in Northern surroundings, instead of remaining in the canefields of Louisiana or the cotton plantations of Mississippi. The report, that the Sugar Trust is building a million dollar factory in Minnesota is significant. It would be a strange thing if one of the results of Southern migration would be to transplant the domestic sugar industry from the South to the North. But stranger things than this have happened.
A recent financial note records the change of a fertilizer bond from a dividend paying basis to a problematical loss or at least a frozen asset. The company which issued these bonds operated a chain of mills, located in Virginia and the Carolinas, which were owned by New England and New York cotton mill owners. The fertilizers produced were sold to the owners of cotton plantations all over the South. With the migration of black labor about three years ago, there was not enough fertilizer used to pay the expenses of running this industry. Thousands of acres of cotton lands were left untilled and the owners of them would not take the risk of stocking up on fertilizers. Consequently the holders of stock and bonds in this company are feeling the result of Negro migration.
In this emergency it can readily be seen why Southern planters and Northern capitalists are so ready to turn to Mexican immigration as a solvent of their difficulties. But the Mexican workers require the same incentive that the Negro demanded if he is to stick at the job. According to the article cited, it is only because of unfair conditions and lack of opportunity in Mexico, that these people are willing to become expatriates. It was for similar reasons that the Negroes left the South, to brave the harsher climate and more exacting conditions of the North.
It is a good thing for the South to try the experiment of Mexican labor, and to realize that it is only through fair dealing and just practices that it can secure labor of any kind to operate its industries. The great industries of the South have heretofore been founded upon Negro labor. That prop taken away, most of these industries will fall to the ground, unless a substitute can be found. Northern capitalists whose money is invested in Southern industries, as well as Southern planters, should be interested in this phase of the situation.
A STUDENTS' DEMONSTRATION
Advices from Nashville, Tenn., brought news of a demonstration by the students of Fisk University last week, which culminated in the calling out of the police armed with riot guns and the arrest of five of the students. A charge of inciting to riot which had been preferred against these prisoners by President McKenzie of Fisk, was withdrawn at the hearing in the police court and a charge of disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace substituted. A suspended fine of fifty dollars each was imposed by the court.
The students denied that any violence was attempted or that any shots were fired by them, or that the white teachers were endangered. Their defence was conducted by an ex-Governor of Tennessee and another attorney. It was said that President McKenzie's speech in chapel was the cause of the demonstration, which was intended as a protest against his policies. The president was represented as being emphatic in denying any mistreatment or denial of privileges to the students, and made an appeal for lenency to those arrested although he had previously given their names to the police.
This demonstration by the students of Fisk is undoubtedly due to the dissatisfaction that has been expressed for some time with the policies pursued by the present administration in dealing with the students and curbing their activities. These conditions were outlined in a recent issue of The Age, based upon the charges made by the Fisk Club of New York and published in the Fisk Herald. It was then alleged that discipline was choking the freedom of the students and cramping self-expression. The fact that President McKenzie was credited, with saying at the police court hearing that it was his desire to discipline the students, gives color to this statement.
The fact of this demonstration at so old an institution as Fisk shows that something is

dents. The endeavor should be the faculty or with the studedledly wrong, either with to make such an impartial investigation of the whole situation as to determine exactly where the wrong lies. Students have their rights as well as college presidents and faculties, and this phase of the situation should not be ignored. There could hardly be such a concerted outbreak among those seeking the advantages offered by Fisk, without some serious cause for it.
Instead of so much insistence upon discipline and the repression of self-expression by the students, the experiment of self-government by the student body might be tried to advantage in such institutions as Fisk. The necessity of an appropriate outlet for the recreational activities of the stuednts should also be considered. The aim of educational
Referring to the Emancipation celebration held at Buffalo the first of the year, the Buffalo American said:*
One of the weaknesses of the program was our inability to sing the National Negro Anthem Our weak attempt to render this number was disgrace. All of the citizens ought to know this song. Let each choir leader teach it to his choir and his congregation, and let us not attempt it again until we know at least enough of it to sing
This recommendation should be adopted. A national anthem that an audience cannot sing is a doubtful number, although we have heard many audiences falter after the first verse of "The Star Spangled Banner."
The introduction of a bill in the Pennsylvania "legislature" to prevent all persons from parading while covered with a mask, sheet, covering, hood or any similar method of hiding the features from public view," was greeted by the Pittsburghs Courter as an anti-Klan movement. It said:
The Negroes oi the country have been interested in Pennsylvania legislatures ever since the famous Asbury bill, which made a few Negroes and killed off a few half-American white men. That bill was intended to permit all men and all women to enjoy, if the price suited, the public places of amusement and convenience. The fight was for civil rights unabridged. The whites who wanted to kill the bill argued that Negroes in Pennsylvania wanted "social equality." The bill died at the hands of such men as Barr and other party leaders, who could not see the party give birth to such new freedom for Negroes, at least not just now.
It will be of special interest now, in the light of past experiences, to note how the Jews, Catholics and the Negroes vote on the anti-Klan measure just presented. It is certain most of the Jews will vote for the Bill. The Catholics will help the cause along at every angle. The two Negro members will vote for the bill. It will be very interesting to note the organization's attitude on such legislation.
The Klan has provoked enough riots and bloodshed in Pennsylvania to justify the raising of a legislative ban against its public parades.
Noting the political progress of women in this country, the California Eagle of Los Angeles said.
After a more than fifty years fight for equal rights for women by women the morning light of a new day seems to be breaking—a woman is Governor of Texas, which to our mind is no easy job, for Madam Fergerson has already been criticized by the "goosey goddes" for permitting dancing at her "unnatural," but somehow she has said "just watch me, and I will take care of you, and myself likewise"
Wyoming also has Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross discharging the duties of Governor it is said" in a most dignified manner. And Los Angeles, destined to be the third largest city in the United States, seated Mrs. Georgia Bullocks as Police Judge this week.
In conclusion all we have to say is get good, men, or get ready to go to prison.

institutions for our students should be to build up self-respecting and self-reliant men and women. This cannot be done by stunting thier growth by rigid discipline and dwarfing their personality.
The requirement, for instance, that colored students and teachers must use rear entrances, while white officers and instructors use either front or rear as their preference may dictate, is a needless humiliation, which no honest builder of human character can countenance. The qualities of personal dignity and rounded prunhood and womanhood are not to be developed in an atmosphere filled with such practices as those alleged in the indictment of the present administration of Fisk.
The situation denoted by the students' demonstration demands a change of policy or personnel, or both if needed.
knowing the best step to take nor the real value of these certificates to them, while others of that shiftless class don't care. It would be good for all leaders, especially ministers to advise these young men to hold their policies and not the they can, sell it for little or nothing.
As the value of this bonus policy increases every year, the soundness of this advice to hold on to it is apparent. While the bonus legislation was clumsy conceived and badly drawn, the benefits that may be derived from it should not be thrown away. The ex-soldiers should hold on to their policies until they can realize the face of them.
Under the headline, "Appeal from Morgan County," the Savannah Tribune tersely described those condition which have brought about such wholesale migration of Negroes from certain sections of the South. It said:
Morgan County, Georgia, is in a section of the state where our people have been badly mistreated. It adjoins the county of the celebrated William farm

An Open Letter To The Public From a Member of 369th Infantry
It is said but true that the very people of our group who are forever howling about discrimination are either by ignorance or pure assimilation attempting to choke us with discrimination right in our midst, as it were. Such men as Mr Fred Moore, Mr Pope B Billups and Mr Michigan Brown are to be commended on their statements that the present administration of the 369th Infantry is to the best advantage of the race. They are farsighted enough for see what it well mean in the future. Granted that there are one or two men capable on holding the position of Colonel, but in the present condition of the 369th Infantry it will take more than military capability and more than one or two men to run the regiment. It is a known fact that many of the white officers have a chance of gaining more knowledge than the colored officers. It has been seven years since the war, and there have been radical changes in the art of defense since that time, that many
Just a few weeks ago were notified of our change in name, I form the Wonder Girls to the Radio Girls. All thought that this name was an original and appropriate one. However, we have since been informed that a Radio Girls Club has been in existence for some time.
At our last meeting this was taken up, and we unanimously decided to call our club the PETER PAN GIRLS. We know of no other club with a similar name, and we feel that we can live up to that name. So passes the Radio Girls, and in us stead behold she Peter Pan Girls!
The New York girls are showing fine club spirit as all meetings are in full attendance. We have extensive plans both for the present and the near future. At present we are rehearsing a play which affords us much pleasure. We have so arranged our meetings that we include educational, recreational, social and business programs monthly. This tends to arouse club spirit.
We would like to hear more of the clubs in the other cities. It would be well if all members of the Girl's Column could keep in touch with the various activities of the "numerous branches" for after all we all belong to "Our Girls." As our social meeting falls on St Valentine's Day we are giving a Valentine's party. So much for events — Receive I leavet one of Ruddy-Kipling's poems called "IF."

where colored tenants have been unmercifully whipped and ruthlessly killed and for which, its owner is now saving time. In this section the colored people got tired of being thus treated and hordes of them have left for other persons causing farms to be tenantless and the trees to grow-up in weeds. The condition was soon left by the land owners and business men who got together and planted to appeal to their tenants and others to return. The good crops made by the few who remained are being used as an urg for returning. In order to secure the tenants the land owners must promise more than good jobs. They must assure the workers that they will be safe from molestation, that they will be honestly dealt with by security full returns for their labor and produce that their churches and halls will not be buft down, that ample school facilities will be provided for their children and all of them be given a fair chance before the law. Until this be done Mörgan and other counties will not blossom with colored tenants as of your
That is a plain statement of the call and its remedy, coming from a local paper that is well formed as to the facts.
Commenting on a proposition made by some ardent enthusiist of promotion, "to get from Congress fifty thousand dollars for plastering the country with posters setting forth the deep dammation of boo-legging and home-brewing, and the beauty or holiness which resides in the observance of the Volstead Act," the Star of Law said:
We are in favor of prohibition and in the enforcement of the prohibition laws if the enforcers will keep sober enough to do it. But if we are going in for posters to train the people into righteousness, into the obloquy and shame of iniquity, let us go into the right. The heavens defend us! There should be posters against the barbary and wickedness of lynching posters portraying the malignity and spitefulness of segregation; posters demonstrating the repulsiveness and loathsomeness of pimcrowism; posters revailing the invidiousness of a democracy that disputes to one-tenth of its citizenry the prerogatives which the remaining nine tenths enjoy, posters against the inequality of wage-system, posters against race prejudice, race discrimination, the Ku Klux Klan and pious bunk; posters against food Congressmen etc, ad nauseum, ad absurdum. Posters against mewing cats, barking dogs, crowing roosters and cackling hens.
That is meant to reduce the whole scheme to an absurdity, which would benefit mostly the printers and the bill posters. And get such wholesale placarding of national evils might have a beneficial effect, if it could be put into practice.
of the colored officers are not familiar with; not by any fault of their own, but because they have been denied admittance to the different officers' camps where they might obtain this knowledge. Therefore it is through the association of colored and colored officers that the colored officer gets into command of these changes, thereby making our regiment one of the best in the country. You, who on the outside are signing petitions, are signing away the life of the regiment. Show us the colored man who can or will make up the enormous deficit of the armory and its equipment. Much of this must come from the personal pockets of the administrative officers. Show us the colored man politically strong enough with both parties to obtain our $250,000 administrative building and maybe then we can inside of the regiment, will covenance a change.
But still, with all our pride of race and with all our hopes for a better era, I maintain it is a very bad policy to change horses in the middle of the stream.

Grace Church of Harlem
Last Sunday the beautiful weather filled the churches and Grace, Church, 8th avenue and West 439th street had her full share of worthless. The pastor, Rev. A.C. Garner, was in Matthew Silt, "I believe this text from Matthew Silt," he stroy, but to fulfill"; also Revelations 21:5, "Behold I make all things new". Theme, "Christ as a social revolutionist"; The sermon was proclaimed by those who heard it a fine pulpit production. The emoji of the sermon were greatly stirred. The response to the pastor's appeal was generous.
While the choir under Fred J. Work, was singing a few spirituals there came to the altar for the membership ceremony: Mrs. Bertha Frazier of 538 Lenox avenue; Miss Anna J. Caldwell, 301 West 193th street; Miss Bertha Blackburn, 55 West 140th street; Porter Barger, 62 West 131st street; L. L. Daniels, 2331 Seventh avenue; James Gibbons, 3 East 131st street; Mrs. Jessine Jones, 226 West 143rd street; Minnie McCormick, 39 West 129th street; Miss M. Francee Wilson, 62 Edgence combe avenue; Mrs. Bessie Bearden, 173 West 140th street. These were given the right hand of fellowship. The Sunday school, or church school, under Mrs. Nannie Scott, superintendent, had its largest attendance of the season and several new teachers were added to the present staff. Mrs. Sarah Henson, Mrs. Josephine Harris and Mrs. Henson of 120th Schola avenue are among the new intakes. The pastor complimented the superintendent on her good work.
The 5 o'clock Star Musicales at Grace Church were suggested by Felix Weir and have been arranged by him: The appreciation of the music by the York City Chamber very satisfactory. Representative auditions have greeted the performers each Sunday. The first was by Charlotte Wallace Murray, Miss Olive Jeter and Mr. Weir. It was fine. The second, last Sunday was by the Right Quintette. It was also the Chamber trio, Jeter-Weir-Jeter, cello, and piano, will render a program at 5 p.m.
The Y. P., S. C. E. kept up with the fast movements of the day by putting on a good program. Counsellor C. T. A. French addressed the audience. The Young People had arranged to have a complimentary dinner in honor of Counsellor French but will postpone it on account of the absence of the pastor from the city. At night the pastor addressed audience on the "Three Crosses". The sermon was suggestive and strong. The work of the choir is increasingly beautiful. There was added to the anthem last Sunday, a trio by Mrs. Watley, Misses Jefferson and Reynolds Geo. Royal sang, with fine effect, a solo. Grace Church is beginning to recognize the great favor of God toward the purposes and plan of the pastor earnest and progressive. He is among the influential pastors of our great city.
Rush Memorial Church
As announced Rushop E D W Jones of the ninth episcopal district, whose residence is in Washington, D C, was the preacher all day at Rush Church. At a very early hour, the main auditorium began to fill and hearts and minds were set as to what the immediate future had in store for Rushop Jones delivered a most powerful sermon full of eloquence and reverence understood by all who had the pleasure hearing him. The text is found in St Mark 9:2. Subject, "The Consciousness of Spiritual Intelligence"
The preacher proved to the complete satisfaction of all that the earthly forces and the spiritual forces do meet and us in the Highway of Life. Mt Hermon was the scene of the transfiguration and a proof of the actual communication of earth with Heaven and Heaven with earth. This is only possible through Jesus. God is in the world and walks and talks with His people. Jesus was careful in His selection of men to go to this mountain to witness this jesus Christ. He took Peter, James and John, that the light awakened of Jesus, divine power and of His unity. Peter was a writer of notes and James wrote words of encouragement while John believed in detail—so that Christ, in choosing these three had foresight enough to see that this great occasion would be handed down to future generations. Luke claims that Jesus went up to pray—to talk with God—which teacakes men and women that it is good to commune with God, and our prayers will be answered. God sent, out of the realms of glory, two spirits—a proof that He had answered prayer—Moses and Elias—a cloud overshadowed the mountain and Peter suggested remaining there, building three tabernacles, one for Moses, one for Elias and one for Jesus. But they were charged by Jesus to go down and be brought to earth. Certainly the consciences of every one present was awakened to the fact that Heaven does come down. Seven people came forward and united with the church.
In the afternoon, Price Day was observed. The program was offered by New York Livingstone College Alumni Association, of which J. W Hood is president. Bishop Jones delivered the address, directing same the life of the founder of Livingstone J. W. Price No doubt, Heaven again communed with old earth as the bishop delivered this scholarly and masterly address. The solists were Mrs Ida Dean and Iurelle Dixon. At 8 o'clock, Bishop Jones preached on the "Superiority of the Gospel" Matthew 16:13 "discusing "Man on the inside" the speaker gave satisfactory proof that it were better to be inside looking out.

Rendall Mem. Pres. Church
The Sunday revival services at the Rendall, church began last Sunday at 10:45 a.m. An inspiring praise meeting preceded the regular service. By 11:30 a.m. the church was well filled. The Rev. John E. Harper of Brooklyn occupied the pulpit. He took his subject, "First Things First", and wonderful discourse which stirred the church from the pulpit to the door.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the congregation joined in the singing of two soul stirring gospel hymns, after which one member was added to the church.
The pastor appointed a praying band to conduct the preliminary services of the meetings.
The spirit of the morning service was mixed to the evening services which attended.
The Rev. Dr. T. A. Morton will preach at the morning service. The public is cordially invited to attend these services.
First Emmanuel Church
A glorious day was enjoyed by all who attended services at the church Sunday. In the morning, Pastor Bolden preached from the text, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and favor with God and man." St. Lazarus 1, 24.
Pastor Bolden said: The young manhood of Jesus is not recorded in the Gospels. Therefore what he said concerning this period of His life is left to conjecture and imagination. We are certain, however, from what He said to His mother, when she gently upbraided Him, the day she found her lost child in the temple disputing-with the lawyers and讼者; that though He went home and consoled His evidence, He was conscious-of His Distance, a vivacity of this consciousness in His homeway. Nazareth, affords an opportunity for contemplating the reasons and the meaning of this submerged divinity for a period of eighteen years. The declaration that Jesus

PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL
our Lord the Emmanuel grow or increased in wisdom and feature, and in favor with God and man; it is a tribute of the very highest to His unfoldment in His home town, community, nation and the world of humanity. It shows that He did not, at any time, reflect the negative qualities, nor manifest the unholy and disquieting impulses and emotions that are characteristic to all other members of the human family. But that He, though human, was a person who deeply develop mental powers and divide understanding equally poised; and that His Father God focused the express image of His Person, in His Personality.
To say that He grow or increased in these things; may appear as if He was limited in power; but we think that the idea is that God the Father was in Him, meeting all the requirements of the laws of His creation; as man understands them according to His method of thinking. In a time world and a realm where evolution of things and conditions segm to exist and where experience is the field for the text of things, facts and classifications, it is right and proper that in our large human development He come up to all the requirements and establish for all times the ignominious his humanity. This establishment He beyond strengthened His claims and demonstrations that He is the Father God, the giver of everlasting life to all who will believe in Him. It would be a great inspiration to communities and to people of those communities where decision and contempt is spoken against Him today; if they had in their communities the young men and the young women who showed evidence that they increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. While all nationalities in this country have this opportunity, it is the privilege of the colored people to demonstrate this truth in the face of race prejudice, that is a bar against them politically, socially, educationally and religiously. Lord the Emmanuel was a graduate of His Father's business school, and of His community's school of experience and was a whooping and howling success and triumphed not only over His enemies but over death. This is the opportunity of all that will follow in His Steps.

Siloam Presbyterian Church
Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, preached to a large and attentive congregation at the morning hour of worship at Siloam. The text of the sermon was found in Ephesians 4:20. He said that the eccentricities of the eccentricities of man in which man egresses himself by saying that he has these eccentricities because God made him that way. Fundamentally we are all made alike in the image of God. God has given us our constitution but man abuses that concession. Our pastor clearly brought out that our calls must be bent to the will of God.
At the evening hour of worship Rev. Stark spoke to Boy Scout Troop, No. 281, of Siloam, Boy Scout Troop No. 55, was the guest troop. It was the 15th anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scout Movement in America and similar services were held throughout the city. Siloam has the second largest scout troop of color in the city. Arthur L. Jackson is scoutmaster. A brief history on scouting was read by Scout Cecil Foster. After a few introductory remarks by the scoutmaster on the special activities of the troop and its plans for the future, Rev Stark spoke to the boys on three aspects of religion, the object of which was training them for life itself as it effects living now. The first was piety, thinking well of God and evidence for God. This comes from the fact that he is received through the home and education second was through the training of the mind to make life for culture and is received through the school and the church. The third was through the training of the body that it might be kept strong for discipline. He urged the boys to be square in all their dealings, never to elbow any anyone all through their lives.
New members received: Mrs Margaret Girardeau, 142 Humboldt street, Jamaica; Miss Selena Girard-eau, 142 Humboldt street, Jamaica; Mrs Mamie Johnston, 60 Putnam avenue, Mrs. Louise Munford, 554 Washington avenue.

In observance of Lincoln Sunday, Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor preached Sunday morning on "The Highway of Lincoln, stressing thoroughness, honesty, friendliness and spirituality as marks on the highway. He made application of these points to the needs of our people today. He urged our business men especially to imitate the honesty of Lincoln. Young people were urged to make thorough preparation for the work of life. In the evening his theme was "In Step With God," and he urged upon his hearers to make the step of confession, with the assurance that God in Christ would make the step of forsiveness, and then would follow the step of with together, that the three great steps of life.

Services at Bethany Baptist Church last Sunday, were as, usual, good and well attended. There is an increasing attendance at the services put in by our pastor and church put in by our pastor for our service, make the services at Bethany inviting, and God is rewarding us by sending to Bethany large and responsive congregations.
We were no less richly fed last Sunday than usual. Our pastor, Dr. Warren, preached a very instructive, faithful sermon Sunday morning from the first Sunday of the second chapter of Paul's letter to the Hebrews. Subject used: "The Captain of our Salvation."
At 3.30 p. m., holy communion was served. The Rev. Starr of Salem Baptist Church, accompanied by his officers and a large per centage of his congregation, were present to partake of the Lord's Supper with us. Our pastor is doing much toward uniting the churches of Brooklyn. Notwithstanding having been in service all day, at 7.30 p. m., a commendable congregation was again present. At this service, our pastor preached a very effective sermon from St John 3:23, subject, "Doing the Truth."
Our choir, with Prof. Payn as choirmaster, has wonderfully improved and is now playing a conspicuous part in the services at Bethany.
Newman Mem. M. E. Church
A splendid congregation assembled at 11 o'clock Sunday morning at Newman Memorial M. E. Church to listen to the sermon preached to the Scout Troop, the command of Scoutmaster Isaac White. Rev. T. W. Cooper, chose as his subject the Scouts' Twelfth Rule: "Roverence," text was taken from Luke 20:13; "It meekest to revere Him when they see Him." Dr. Cooper counselled the boys not only to reverence the Flag, and the national, but to be a good scout, they must learn to rever and emulate the life of the Saviour. The boys listened with marked attention as the pastor briefly referred to the first six of the rules of the Scouts and appeared to be deeply impressed with the words of instruction and admonition given in the sermon. The Sunday school met at 1 o'clock with a recount of assistance, at which time the pastor assisted, in interment, Mrs. J. W. Braatton, the discussion of the lesson for the day.
A fairly good attendance greeted Dr. Cooper at 8 o'clock at which time he chose as his subject, "The Savor of Salt." His text was selected from Matthew 5:13, "We are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has the savor, wherein shall it be salted? but to the cast out, and to be trodden under foot, and to be a strong and vigorous discourse. The pastor called his hearer's attention to the responsibility resting upon them as Christians to influence the world for Christ; that while it may be that sometime they had enjoyed fellowship with Christ, there was a possibility that through neglect or imitation and the man's sins committed that both easily beset us, the influence they had would be destroyed thereby and the good for nothing as an influence for the saving of the world of mankind.
The full choir sang at both services and delighted the congregation with the music they rendered They will sing at John Wesley M. E Church on February 15, at 3:30 p.m. Everything was reported in readiness for the Fair which opened Tuesday evening

Beaux-Arts Club At 137th St. "Y" Had Double Feature Attractions At Meeting
Every night it is busy in the 137th street "Y" but Thursday night. February 5. was hectic Club and class rooms were filled to capacity and the Physical Department was fairly humming. The fact, every other person seemed to be looting for Miss Nelson and the gym. They were all bound for the first lesson in what promises to be one of the most popular courses ever offered by the "Y"—the "Recreation Leaders" Course. This course, is especially designed for volunteer church and social workers and it includes pageantry, as well as other forms of organized play. Basketball has lost no part of its popularity and our girls played the Pandora Girls on Friday. February 6.
To come back, however, to the Thursday night rush, the excitement in the large club room was caused by the "Double Feature" in the Beaux-Gard Club. From eight to nine, Ms. Mand Hall, executive of the Newspaper Service Department of the historical review, spoke the girl at her business." Mrs Hall's talk was "practical and could not fail to be helpful to a large group of self-support girls.
There was considerable discussion in the second part of the "Double Feature" when Miss Grace Coyle, National Y. W. C. A. Industrial, Secretary, spoke on "Satisfactions and Dissatisfactions of One's Job."
The class rooms on the second floor are always busy and full, but attracting special attention. Thursday is in interior decorating. The class offers trade possibilities, for A. Edwards, the instructor, gives reasonable assurance of employment to those who show a special aptitude. for the work.

Goldsboro, N. C., Honors Former High School Head
Goldborsh, N. C.-The new color high school here is to be named the Dillard High School in honor the Rev Clarence Dillard, who was principal of the colored high school for more than thirty years, and who retired from active service at close of the 1923-24 term last summer.
Rev Dillard organized the high school and gave thirty years of faithful and efficient service to its development. When the new brick building, a handsome edifice, modernly equipped, was put in service the faculty proposed that it be named in honor of the former principal. This proposition was submitted to the student body and enthusiastically approved. Then the Parents-Teachers Association, which is made up of all the schools and practically the entire community, unanimously voted its endorsement of the proposed title.

TOM THORPE PAYS WARM TRIBUTE TO COLORED FOOTBALL PLAYERS
I saw Tom Thorpe the other day and he inquired so cordially about several local athletes that I asked him some questions about the colored boys whom he had coached at Columbia and New York Universities.
Thorpe is Columbia's most famous athlete. He is her greatest football player and was for several year afterwards head coach. In 1921 he resigned to become coach at New York University where he remained until this year. He is now an important executive of the James Butler Co., Inc.
The great coach grew reminiscent about colored football players whom he had played against. He declared that William H. Lewis of Harvard was the greatest center of all time and remembers him as the man who revolutionized center playing. He also played against Bullock of Dartmouth and thinks that he was one of the greatest players of his day.
I then asked him some questions about colored football players whom he had developed. The first one he spoke of was George Calloway of East Orange, N. J. Calloway played on the line for Lincoln University last season and was in a large measure responsible for that school winning the championship of the East, but he was developed at Columbia by Thorpe.
In 1920 Calloway played tackle against Cornell, one of Gil Dobie's great teams. He was such a good defense man that Coach Thorpe used him as "strong side tackle." i. e. reverse from side to side to follow the play. For three-quarter of the game Calloway stopped Dobie's attack. Then he had two ribs crushed and had to be taken out. After the game Dobie asked Thorpe who the colored tackle was and declared that he was one of the greatest tacklers he had ever seen.
Joe Washington at New York University three years ago was the next colored star developed by Thorpe. Washington played end but because of his weight—he weighed only 133 pounds—he was somewhat handicapped. But for this handicap he would have been rated as a great player. Mr. Thorpe paid the following glowing tribute to Washington:
"While Calloway was one of the greatest tackles I ever saw, Joe Washington was without question the gamest player I ever saw. He came from Erasmus Hall High School and worked his way through New York University. Because of his clean habits and inspiring personality, he was one of the most popular students there. He played two years under me and in all my experience I never saw a more loyal and high class man."
He then spoke of Teddy Bolden, who is now a student at New York University. He said that Bolden played under a great disadvantage during the latter part of the past season. "In making his sensational run for a touchdown against C. C. N. Y., Bolden sustained an injury to his hip bone which affected his game during the remainder of the season. Had he remained in prime condition there is no question but that he would have been picked on an all-star team at the end of the season," said Mr. Thorpe.
Continuing he said, "He has brains, speed and fine fighting spirit. I look to see him make a great name for himself next fall under Chick Mechan. I look to see him equal the great reputation that Paul Robeson acquired during his days at Rutgers. To my way of thinking, Robey was one of the greatest of all gridiron stars. Teddy Bolden can be the same quality player of he makes up his mind to do so."
The fact that these colored boys were given a fair change in intercollegiate athletics and the record they have made should be an incentive to other colored athletes.
National Negro League Reorganized; Detroit Stars Under New Management
---
St Louis, Mo.—At the annual meeting of the National Negro Baseball League, held here on Monday, February 2, it was decided to reorganize the association with the following clubs—all of which are to qualify within the next thirty days Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City, Birmingham, Memphis, Indianapolis, Detroit and the Cuban Stars of Chicago. The season will be divided into two pennant baskets opening on the first Saturday in May and closing on September 16.

D H Sims, who through his earnest and nurturing efforts has plated the Association to many a successful season. The schools have all held to faculty member coaching.
Paine College possesses such tried and worthy men as Cadde and S.C. State has Professors Sheffield, Potter, Staley and Lewis, Claflin has Professors Proston and Jordon; Allen University has Professors Baumgarten, Adelson, and Perrin, Schofield has Professor Hut. Yorkees has Professors Iisman and Campbell, and Morris College has Professor Pinson.
The football season was one of the most successful in the history of the association. There were three champions for the championship, Claflin University, Paine College and Benedict College. Benedict's record of four victories over the major association teams made the rightful heir to the crown which it already held.
An all association team could be selected of that would measure shoulder or shoulder with Lincoln in Iowa and Paul Drumm the Champion of the Midget Association. Chappelle on Benobie at Corken of North Roscommon of Clatton and McKen of Most College could keep with with Ivy Lee Heslop in Iowa large and strong and fast and possesses of football heads. New ends work as fast and as as with Williams of N. State and Dye of Pame College.

The case of Harry Wills was Sun recently by Joe Vila, one of the He said:
"Harry Wills posted a $2,500 for nearly three years ago to bind a m champion of the world. Dempsey was agreement, but later the match was pro man of the Commission. Since then W Madden, a white man, in a local ring, in neither instance was there the slight.
"Wills, it would seem, has first c provisions of the Walker boxing law Commission. Dempsey is morally bound. The champion's proposed match with Wills next fall, is ground for a colored fighter."
Harry Wills To Appeal To Boxing Solons For Ruling On Gibbons Bout
If Tom Gibbons is signed for a fight with Jack Dempsey in June, Promoter Tex Rickard will deliberately go back on his promise of last September. At that time Wills and Firpo had been matched to fight. Rickard, who was promoting the bout, promised that the winner would be given the next opportunity to meet the champion.
For four years now Harry Wills has been Dempsey's only real contender, but the promoters have always found some excuse to side-track the Brown Panther. It is now evident that the New York State Boxing Commission should take a hand to force this match for the good of the sport. And it is reported that Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, is making a protest to the boxing solons against the proposed Dempsey-Gibbons match. The Harlem fans should strengthen this protest by writing the Commission as a whole and individual members. Letters should also be addressed to Governor Smith, whose influence should be used in Wills' behalf in this instance.
The case of Harry Wills was well stated in the New York Sun recently by Joe Vila, one of the fairest of the local sport writers. He said:
"Harry Wills posted a $2,500 forfeit with the State Athletic Commission nearly three years ago to bind a match with Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world. Dempsey was compelled to sign tentative articles of agreement, but later the match was prohibited by William Mudson, then chairman of the Commission. Since then Wills has been permitted to box Bartley Madden, a white man, in a local ring, also Louis Angel Firpo in Jersey City. In neither instance was there the slightest indication of racial prejudice.
"Wills, it would seem, has first call to a bout with Dempsey under the provisions of the Walker boxing law and the auspices of the State Athletic Commission. Dempsey is morally bound to live up to his agreement of 1922. The champion's proposed match with Tom Gibbons prior to a possible scrap with Wills next fall, is ground for a protest to the boxing solos by the colored fighter."
At Lincoln Theatre
Al and Ray Rocket, the young producers of "Miraham Lincoln," which is scheduled to show at the Lincoln Theatre commencing Thursday spent nearly three years tranferring to the screen the life of this great patriot. Experts on the life of Lincoln were called to aid them. All of the places connected with the life of Lincoln were visited and an exact replica of the village of Salem where Lincoln first gained fame was built.

In the work hours he was driven and harried by the lash, but when the hours of the work-day had passed, he was soul-free, at least, in the bewitching twilight, and sometimes on Sunday. In his leisure hours his mind was not chasing dollars and profits, as were the minds of the master class. He was a slave to the industrial lash but not to the lash of ambition.
He had spiritual leisure. He sang and told over stories in his mind and to his companions, and enjoyed the cultivation of those arts which un-

This was a fine foundation on which to build the Negro music of the present, in voice and in instrument, with its miser notices, its plaintive rhythms, and its other soul-searching qualities. The two exteriors, of all musical disposition are the loud and really story-telling "Sirituals" on the one side, and the "rags" and jazzes" on the other. One of the evil heritage of this historical situation of the Negro, however, was that his first efforts in

Spaulding and Holsey To Tour Texas In Interest Nat'l Negro Business League
Tuskegee, Institute, Ala., Dr. Robertt R. Moton president of the National Negro Business League, announced today that in keeping with the new program adopted by the organization at the Silver Jubilee held in Chicago in August, C. C. Spaulding, of Durham, North Carolina, Committee of the Business League, and Albon L. Holsey, secretary, will visit local leagues in the State of Texas during the latter part of February.
The Texas tour has a twofold purpose—to observe the work of the local leagues and to explain to the business men of the state the aims and methods of the Negro business, which was organized as an auxiliary of the National Negro Business League, with a capital of a million dollars to promote the development of Negro enterprises throughout the country. Mr. Spaulding, who is president of the North Carolina College, is vice president of the corporation; and Dr. Robert R. Moton is president.
The details of the tour will be handled by J. B. Grigsby of Houston, John Rice and Clarence Starks of Dallas.
Washington Almani Raise Over $50,000 For Howard Univ. School of Religion
Washington, D. C.—Meeting for their final rally, Washington alumni, and friends of Howard University went over the top in the city campaign to raise an endowment and building fund for Howard University's School of Religion. The amount raised was $50,500. Later reports will raise several thousand dollars in advance of the question in which the campaign just included were Thomas Walker, attorney, and Dr. Sterling N. Brown, director of Extension Work at the School of Religion. The grand total was represented by more than 1100 gifts, the largest subscription being $1,000, and the smallest twenty-five cents.
"This is a fine and notable achievement", said Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, in addressing the campaign committee, by the simulation by groves and by white men and women the country over."
"Areemphishing the impossible" was the characterization which Dr. Brown applied to the effort just concluded, "and the fact that we have piled up this substantial figure of more than $500,000 in the worthiness of our cause and the optimism of our friends who believe in us and in the school"
Inmates of Great Meadows Prison Hold Celebration In Honor of Emancipation
Comstock, N. Y—About ten years ago through the efforts of the Rev. P. K. Fonville, who was then pastoring at Auburn, N. Y. a nlmencipation Celebration program was inaugurated for the colored prisoners at the Great Meadows Prison here. This celebration has been continued each year once with Rev. Fonville as the principal speaker. This year Rev. Fonville is pastoring in Ashville, N. C., and was unable to accept the invitation of the prisoners to address them. The celebration was held never-the-less, on January 22, taking the form of a feast. Reports are that it was quite a success.
Hackensack Community Club Conducting Membership Drive
Hackensack, N. J.-Th. Hackensack Community Club, which was organized on September 23, 1924, has recently started a member-hip drive. The initiation fee is $1 and applications are received at the home of Mrs. M. Askew 254 Railroad avenue, or at the regular meetings which are held the first Monday in each month. The purpose of the club is to organize the community one big family where "the wheat and rice may grow together" (it is for Bergen County). 1 Building homes for the race 2 Representation through the municipal government and race representation in Trenton and Washington 3 The organizing of Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts and the erecting of a club house, for which purpose $1,200 is needed.

Sometimes ago. The Age received a communication from an alleged agency signing itself the "John H. Colton Agency," 460 Blunt St., Guntersville, Ala., soliciting contributions for the support of a tuberculosis organization. The letter was referred to the New York Association for Asso-ciation faces at 244 Madison Avenue, with a request for information as to its authenticity.
The local organization referred the appeal to the National Tuberculosis Association, which body immediately directed an investigation as to the reliability of the so called Colony agency. As a result, Harry L. Hopkins, director of the N.Y. body, was received, of the N.Y. body, by the National organization, transmitting the results of the investigation which had been conducted by that body.
The Superintendent of Marshall County Board of Education, E. O. Creel, living at Guntersville, wrote that John H. Colton, living at 400 Blount street, had some years before been convicted of breaking into office and him to a reform school at Washington. Creel wrote also that so far as his inquiries could uncover, Colton had no connection with any organization which would entitle him to solicit funds for alleviation of tuberculosis. The president of the Alabama Tuberculosis Association, Mfs. H. E. Pearce, who is postmaster,irmingham county, secretly sonally, that Colton had no connection with her association, and suggested that the Post Office Department might investigate his activities.
Builders' Conference To Be Held At Hampton Institute. Feb. 22-25

The electrolyte of the lead-sulphur-acid cell, more popularly called the lead cell is a solution of sulphur-acid. The solution contains 1 part of pure concentrated sulphuric acid, to which has been added 2.5 parts of the lead water, a specific variety of the electrolyte, $n$ the ratio of the electrolyte to that of 10 an equal volume of water—is about 1.2. The grids of the lead cell, both the positive and the negative grids, are of lead or lead-antimony alloy. There are two fundamental, or general types of plates which have the same surface area as the cell; the Plante, or formed, plate, and the Faure, or pasted, plate. The Plante plate consists of a sheet or grid of pure lead. By an electrolytic process, the active material is formed on the plate. The Plante plate is rather heavy and costly, but is very durable. For this reason, the form of the plate is often heavy work and durability are of prime importance.
The Faure plate consists of a grid with openings or pockets, to which is applied the active material in a foil of paste consisting of red lead for the positive- and litharge for the negative. By passing current through them in the forming bath of diluted sulphuric acid, the red lead is reduced to sulphuric acid, the lead peroxide and the litharge of the negatives to pure song. The pasted type of plate is used almost exclusively in portable cells;
SPECIFIC GRAVITY
The specific gravity of any substance is its weight in proportion to that of an equal volume of water. The specific gravity of the electrolyte indicates the state of charge of the battery. The specific gravity of the electrolyte decreases during discharge and increases during charge. A fully charged cell should show a specific gravity of the electrolyte equal to 1.27 or 1.300. The cell when discharged is as low as 1150 and should be recharged immediately.
A hydrometer is used for measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte, and may be obtained with a numbered scale reading from 1100 to 1300. The hydrometer sinks into liquid and the temperature is taken the scale at the level of the top of the electrolyte. The most convenient type of hydrometer is the hydrometer syringe. This consists of a rubber bulb at the top of a glass tube inside of which there is a liquid into the tube until the hydrometer floats, when the reading may be taken and the electrolyte returned to the cell. The hydrometer is one of the most accurate methods of determining the condition of a battery, one most popular with radio fans.
There is another type of hydrometer syringe in which there are enclosed three balls, each of a different specific gravity. The balls are usually colored white, red and green. The specific gravity as the electrolyte of a fully charged cell, and will float when the cell is in a fully charged condition. The white ball sings when the battery is partly discharged. The green ball has about the same specific gravity as does the electrolyte of the battery. Thus if the cell is about half-charged the green ball will float. Should the charge be less than half however, the green ball will sink. The red ball has a specific-gravity corresponding to that of a completely discharged cell, and will float when the battery is that state there is a charge on the battery of this type of hydrometer. It is all the more easily remembered.
Suicide Note In Red Ink; Swallows Carbolic Acid
Washington, D. C—Mrs. Jessie Williams, 25 years old, was found in a room at the Summit Hotel, 27th and M streets, northwest, in a critical condition. Upon investigation it was found that she had swallowed a large quantity of carbolic acid. She was sent to the Freedman Hospital where her condition was reported serious. A note written in her journal read, "I have failed in hotel which read "I have failed in love affairs." She also requested in the note that her remains be sent to relatives in Kansas City.

Answers To Questions
INCREASING THE WAVE-LENGTH
P. WATKINS.—What is the usual way to increase the wave-length of a receiving set?
ANSWER.—The wave-length may be increased in several ways. The usual method of increasing the wave-length is to insert a coil, consisting of a few turns of wire in series with the secondary coil of the receiver. If the wave band is not increased too high, it will not be necessary to increase the length of the size of the primary. In a problem, however, it will be necessary to increase the primary. This can be done by inserting a small coil in the same way as the secondary.
The wave-length may be increased by shutting the secondary coil with a low-capacity condenser. The capacity of the condenser will determine the increase of the wave-length.
IMPROVING CRYSTAL SET
J. H OWARD-With my present crystal set, I find it rather difficult to separate the local stations. Is there another crystal set more selective than mine which is a single slide timer? ANSWER-A a crystal receiver may be made more selective by introducing some form of coupling. This may best be done by using a house-couple which will give satisfactory results
Next Radio Show
Definite dates for the Second Radio World's Fair in New York City have been announced. This year's exposition will open on Monday noon, Sept 14 and continue until Saturday night, Sept 19 in the 258th Field Artillery Armory. The fair at 1925 will be at least one third larger than the exposition held in Madison Square Garden and the 69th Regiment Armory last September.
In one of the recent articles we spoke of the fact that women stay away from work more frequently than do men. I brought up the question of the women staying out because or minor nesses. As a matter of observation it should be stated that women, as a rule, have more physical endurance than the so-called strong sex. It may be interesting to women to know that physically they have more endurance for all sorts of physical strain that have their brothers, the men. From their brothers, the men. From their scientific investigators to have surpassed the boys and men. Also, the assimilation and elimination of women is switer, and more complete than that of men.
Even the most preplanned and the most conservative of men, and even the women hates (if there are any) will be the willing to admit that women have the worst of the physical bargain in the biological world. Nature has invited them to endure more physical strain than the ordinary man is (even called upon to bear. When it comes to hard manliness, it is only fair to say that in countries and under primitive conditions, in which it is still permitted of women carry the heavy part of the work. In the sport of women have not had the opportunity to magnify their process but when the modern idea of opportunity and the idea of free and full physical development of women have had their chance to break down the old hindering traction, they will doubt take their rightful places, side by side with the men who are our honorable pride.
For the betterment of the race and for the future of our children, we should do all our power to banish for ver the arrows in girls' girls should not be brought up as boys with the freedom to throw the most perfect and competent in any emplacement. Stop saying you as a girl and you must not to that. Stop saying 'you have done so and so don't change to be examples of perfect and tranquil ant womanhood. They will be happier mothers, worse mothers and what is more, they will have longer, less happy on us, the girls, with us, which this world would be rather cold
Why You Are Kept Out
Why You Are Kept Out
Why are you kept out of the operating room?
Of course I am not speaking on those who are kept out of the operating room by their own good health and the generous gift of health. I speak of those who have to send someone to care for that place where much is one full and from which it has not been returned. I never easy. I know to contemplate that long passage is down which the traveler must go to win back part or all of persecution of health. It is more easy to cast aside care for even on simple operation. I am in the one who is to take care of the way toward care of mind. I am brave; there lies a desire to be by in the operating room.
For those who could not wish to that the following work are not a dressed.
There are several good reasons for refusing to allow a relative or companion to enter the operating room. First and most important is the safety of the patient. Everywhere and every
person, who is in the room, must be sterile, that is, must be as free from germs as possible. Nurses and doctors lauthe and wear clean underthings. The outside street clothes are removed and for them are substituted sterile gowns which have been especially prepared, and which are never touched except by hands which have been thoroughly scrubbed and treated with antiseptic. The hands are covered with sterile rubber, gloves so thin that they do not interfere with the delicate sense of touch. Once having been 'made sterile' the gloved fingers must touch nothing, except the things to be used for he patient all of these having been especially prepared. No outsider who does not know the minute detail of this care can be expected to follow the strict rules which prevent any slip which might introduce the infection which may cost the patient suffering or worse.
PULLMAN PORTER NEWS
At the annual meeting of the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club, held on Monday evening, January 26, the president, J. Francis Cooper, outlined to the members a tentative program for the activities of the club in 1925, which of carried out, should have the effect of stimulating interest in the doings of this organization, at the present time, is totally lacking among some of the membership.
One of the admirable things he suggested for the progress of the club was the holding of membership forums on Sunday afternoons, at which persons of prominence and achievement would be invited to speak, and to which the members could bring their family and friends. All of Mr. Cooper's suggestions for the betterment of the club are commendable and the foeing is one that would help the club in several respects. First, it would arouse the intellectual side of the membership. Secondly, it would fur- entertainment for those members who do the actual present social activities of the organization. Third, it would be the means of attracting the attention of many estable people towards the things that the club is attempting to do in the way of progress. There is nothing to prevent the members from putting this particular suggestion into effect. They have the place, the room, and the facilities for just such meetings. The home of the club at 105 West 136th street is as imposing on the exterior as any of the other private buildings in the street. In fact, it looks better than the majority of them. In the interior, the parlor and the reading room can easily be converted into will into a fairly commode and a modest room about two hundred persons. On the same occasion is a ladies' dressing room and other accommodations for the concurrence of women guests. The only thing, therefore, needed to make these meetings a success is to begin them.
President Cooper is to be commended for his ambition to raise the intellectual standard of the institution which he heads. He has proved by this one suggestion that he asensious to the fact that there are more things for which a body or men should strive than to be successful in social and athletic activities. In the case of life, it is true, but to allow them to be the chief objective or existence is as bad for an organization as it is for an individual.

"Tickling America's Outstretched Palm" was the humourous tale of an article of Kose R. Rose, the magazine section of the New York Times of Sunday, February 1. Aasserting that the tipping evil had become an industry in this country as it is in Europe, only on a larger and more complex scale, the writer said, "Americans could be properly divided into two great classes—tippers and takers," and that almost every tip giver at some time or become a tipper and taker, taker finds himself a giver sooner or later.
The article dealt with a comparison of the tipping system as it is practiced here and abroad, and how Americas, through their generosity and *prodigality in giving* tips, have spread glooms instead of sunshine to those whose incomes are limited, but who have to give tips if they expect to receive any sort of decent treatment' from those who serve. The dissertation ended, says the author, by comparing the loudest about this 'condition are the ones must to blame for it, for they have allowed their generous nature to over run their pocket-books.
We assume that the writer is a foreign resident. Whether this is so, God does not matter. The child thing is the question presented by the article is tipping such an evil as some folk would have us believe? Oil course there is evil in everything we do, if that there is abused. There is evil in presenting it if it gultonous, fact he is not evil if it gluttonous; will it be evil if it is gluttonous; in fact, it itself is evil unless we strive to do not is right. Then, why should so much material genius be wasted on a thing so essentially small and unimportant as tipping? People who are unwise in their giving of gratuities are mostly people who are unwise in everything they do.
Furthermore, speaking of people in this country, as the writer said, almost every one here is a taker and tipper in some form or other. For example, take a minister who satisfies his congregation with the kind of service, for which he is selected, what, as a rule follows? He is either presented with an extra remuneration along with his year's salary, or he is given a pleasant vacation by his flock—a tip in a large form.
When some individual does something which pleases the people of the country, especially those in the United States, how is he repaid? He is given some substantial gift within the power of the people he pleases—a magnificent tip. Suppose one desires to borrow money, how does he get it? By giving to the loan broker some sum of money over and above the interest, legally called a "beni"—nothing more nor less than an extracted tip.
For the sake of argument, let us assume that all tips were abolished in those where tipping is now the general rule; so in logical minded person suppose that the expenditures for the things with which they would be any smaller then? As it is present, proprietors and owners of businesses that allow tipping, let the patron help pay their employees. That they leave to the patron's judgment and his pocket book. If it were otherwise, patrons would have to pay a flat fee for the services rendered and their judgment would not be consulted.
Personally, the taking of tips does not give to any wonderful feeling of elation. We ourselves would prefer a straight wage, but as our employees think it best than the patrons assist them, we don't think the patrons have an apple worse than the bargain; nor in the present arrangement she feels we have not merited a tie in certainly don't have to give it. If our employees paid us wholly, they, the patrons, would be charged for it. Where rhetoric in the world won't present people giving tips Most people get a kick out of it, even if it does hurt some at times.

THE NEW YORK AGE
MATTHEWS SCORNS FORCES WHICH WERE AIDS TO HIS POWER Charged With Ingratitude To Conference Group Which Was His Strong Ally
Sen. Butler Says No Action Was Taken On Suggestion
Washington, D. C.—According to an explicit and clearcut statement, attributed to Senator Wim M. futter of Massachusetts, there is no maiden report that the National Republican Committee had authorized the establishment of a colored voters' bureau, headed by William C. Matthews of Boston. Senator Butler is quoted as saying that while such a development had been mentioned, absolutely no action had been taken. The report was freely circulated following the activity of a committee headed by Matthews with Finnett J. Scott, James A. Cobb and Robert L. Vann as memoirs which were on Senator Butler, presenting a proposed program for future work. This committee called on a number of other party leaders on the same errand, it is alleged.
No Appointment For Matthews
Another rumor which gained considerable credence was that Matthews had been rewarded by a substantial appointment which located him in Boston, his home town. But the most diligent inquiry fails to reveal anything more substantial than a tenuous rumor. If Matthews has been given an appointment, it is being kept under the cover. There is considerable paler to be heard around among the politically wise who are wondering if the erstwhile manager of Republic activities among the Negro voters is not showing what might be termed gratitude toward the forces instrumental in raising him to political power. Some surprise is manifested. Some surprise is to secure countenance from the National Republican Committee he should apparently be completely ignoring the men active in the National Colored Republican Conference.
Ignornig His Supporters
Men familiar with political developments in the recent campaign have no hesitation in declaring that the National Colored Republican Conference was the strongest agency with which Matthews was allied, and that this alliance really hosted him to his present pedestal. But, now, it is pointed out, Matthews is seemingly unaware of the importance of this organization, and is hobbing together with Vann, Cobb, and others of the group, which had no connection with the Conference element.
The definite allegation is made that the Conference group was instrumental in having Matthews selected as head of the colored division during the recent Presidential campaign, but that he is neglecting the men now and lining up with others. In connection with the reputed apportionment in Boston, well informed men declare that there is no evidence of any Negro having been promised a political job of any sort.
Vann's Attitude
At the same time, there are persistent rumors that Robert J. Vann, who is editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, and whose name has been mentioned with frequency as a candidate for the position of register of the appointment. Vann is nothing to say himself, butusions of his Courier employees have seen fit to come out with denials of Vann's candidacy. The latest is an utterance from the manager of the Courier branch office in New York City, Calvin, of 2007. Seventh avenue, who has served the following statement, which is given for what it is worth.
"Mr Vaum is not a candidate for any position at the hands of the Goedledge Administration. The Treasury post, the highest to which colored men at present aspire at Washington, pays only $500 a year, and Mr Vaum gains appeal of double the salary in law practice in Pittsburgh, not to mention other important business connections. Mr Vaum is interested, however, in serving the Administration gave the colored people a square deal, after their local support of the victorious party at the polls last November. He is especially anxious to see certain juries practice in the government departments abolished that came into existence in the administration and he is also interested in civil service reform measures that will remove the appearance of discrimination against colored applicants for government positions."
Janitor's Savings Are Found By S. S. Boys and Turned Over To Widow
Louisville, Ky. - Two Sunday school boys, George Jackson and Charles Stewart, searching the displacement of their church in houses of a finding some money in the church, and finding former pupils Alex Whalen, and held in their found $5 in single dollar bills. Whalen died suddenly while serving the church as janitor two years ago. The widow, believing that he had held in savings somewhere in the Church, asked permission to hunt for it. Her request was granted and she ached the building but to no avail. She found the money that they found to the church treasurer and he handed it over to the widow of the late janitor who was in the service of the church for a long time.
EDUCATION CRUX OF RACE PROBLEM, ARMSTRONG PLAN Tribute To Educational Philosophy Which Brings New Life To Millions
BY WM. ANTHONY AERY
Hampton, Va.,—Gen. Samuel Chapman Amstrom, who founded Hampton Institute in 1868 saw that any claim of recognition which was not founded on actual achievement was vain," declared the Rev. Dr. John Hopkinson Denison o the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York, who addressed at Hampton Institute. He said, "Armstrong saw the real crux in the program of race relations. He saw that affy pride, whether of white or black, that was not fonder on real worth and effective work was false and pernicious. For certain men to assume that society owes them how and when, they belong to a certain set or group or race means jealousy, hitherto, and subservience or all social progress."
Dr. Denison described Armstrong's visits to the home of his Denison grandmother, Mark Hopkins, "Armstrong" he said, was characterized by the quality of his which almost always mocks his finger at responsibility, mocks at the guidance of intelligence, and refuses to shape a course to a definite goal. Armstrong combined with dash the most careful judgment and extraordinary insight. He had the dash of recklessness and the auteness of perfect intelligence. He was a man that the world works worship as a hero. He showed almost superhuman intuition at critical moments when cause and effect hung
"After the war when the advancing tides of disorganization came sweeping in and murky, vice ignorance, and baitiness threatened to overwhelm the South and turn military into defeat, he saw the crisis and c lose the point of attack. He firing himself into the b'Each. Out of the run and confusion came Hampton, springing, out of the blood-souked battlefield, a lily fair and white, his dream, his vision made real, made triumphant at the cost of his life's blood.
"Armstrong was always saying to each individual, to each group, 'Do what you can do best, no matter what it is. Do it well that you will make yourself respected by the world and essential to it.' Armstrong told the Negro race that by fulfilling certain conditions they could be truly great and summoned them to the strenge 'Hampton answered his call and produced Booker T. Washington and a Robert B. McCoy."
Doctor Denson summed up General Armstrong's educational philosophy: "Armstrong's prescription," he said: "is very simple. Give knowledge in connection with the formation of good habits."
"Through all education character is Just this Persistent thought put in between what a man sees and what he does. The more thought he has thus put in between his feeling, and his acts the greater is a man's character.
"The education of Hampton was based on the principle that in education the whole man must be trained and that knowledge must be given him in connection with the formation of habits"
D. J. Grego, principal, introduced D. Denson, who is the son of the Rev John Henry Denson, chapman at Hampton in 1879, and grandson of Mark Hopkins, president of Williams College.

The series of meetings on "Better Race Relations" which have been held in and about Greater New York during the past few weeks, came to an end on Monday evening, February 9, with a meeting in First Presbyterian Church, New York City, with Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, making addresses. The meetings were in connection with the drive to raise $5,000,000 for Hampton-Tuskegee's endowment fund. In his address, Dr. Moton declared that the most fertile ground for dissension between white and blacks in the South was furnished through periods of economic depression. "The South is least conscious of race when economic conditions are most favorable," Dr. Moton. "A casual study will show that crimes involving race have been most frequently those years when poor crops and low prices have brought depression to the cotton sections of the South."
On Sunday night preceding, Dr. Motion conducted a special service at the Flatbush Congregational Church, Dorchester road and East 18th street, Flatbush, Brooklyn, with an unusually large white audience.

Dr Motion spoke on the problems of the Negroes in America, laying emphasis on those in the South. He dismissed the belief that a gulf lies between the whites and the blacks in the South, with the statement, There was over a time when the two races had a common interest and friendship than today. The speaker then went into brief history of the Negroes in America, contrasting their conditions in the past with those of the present. Speaking of the patriotism of the Negroes, Dr. Motion said, "the American Negro loves America, and has served it faithfully in all wars."
Dr Moton paid a high tribute to the memory of General Samuel Armstrong, founder of the Hampton Institute.
A special musical program consisting of plantation songs and Negro Songs by the Hampton Institute Male Quintet, is also part of the evening services.
Dr. Reed made a short address commending the work of Dr. Moton in his campaign for an educational system for the Negro in the South.

ZION BISHOPS URGE FULL SUPPORT FOR RACIAL BUSINESSES Make Plea For Justice In Courts—Commends Negro Press, Law Observance
Washington, D. C.-The bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church, who held their Bishop's Council at Charlotte, N. C., January 13 to 17, have issued a message to the country, through a public committee composed of Bishops E. D. W. Jones of Washington, L. W. Kyles of Winston-Salem, and W. J. Walls of Charlotte. The race is urged to give its fullest support to legitimate racial business enterprises, and more cooperative committees, to suggest this connection an enthrallment is given for the observance of cardinal principle in dealing with each other, and in defining the mental concept necessary in relation to the government. The bishops make a plea for justice in courts for colored defendants, and depreciate disregard for the law, the prohibition amendment in particular. The latter, they declare, had its beginning in keeping from the black man his intangible rights as a citizen. The message Constitution in all points, or it is useless to punish men for breaking it at some special point.
Special commendation is given to the Negro press, and the people are strongly advised to subscribe and read journals devoted to cause of the Negro, Missionary work in Africa is discussed and the bishops emphasize the assertion that Negro missionaries are best for Africa as they compose the one group of Christians who are without auspicion of being explorers of Africans and Africa. The Occupation of 'Haiti' is condemned and removal of American troops urged. The message declares that if the island were populated by white people the U.S. tortures would have been withdrawn long ago the Haitians, say the bishops, are quite capable of self-government in Mexicans, Italians and Japan. Bickering between the U. S. and Japan over the immigration restrictions are tormented and settlement of international disputes in an international court is favored.
The bishops set up as their objective for 1925, *Vysuchileas land, more independence and power in politics, justice in the courts, segregation routed more cooperative business, a confederation of Negro Churches, a revival of religion in the country, a race moved to every child, a race moved to Christian evangelism from the college to the slim, and a greater concert of effort for the redemption of Africa."

He commented on the progress of the race since Emmanuel, advised his hearers to be more careful in training the younger generation in the duties of citizenship, especially those who come up from the South, and gave some suggestions on health. A memorial Pope Billions concluded the address in a two-minute speech, with the words, "Washington was the father but Lincoln was the savior of this great nation." He also stated that his boyhood impression of Lincoln was his "determination" which imprisoned Miss Edna Logwood was praised for the occasion, at the close of which a buffet hatchery was served: at the Appomattox club poems, 108 West Loth street.
