The Antillean capital gave the visiting ladies a gorgeous reception, the details of which had been arranged by Mrs. M Watson Rudd, well known in New York, whose son Edw Rudd, now a successful and prosperous chropodist in Havana. On January 17, the grand daughter ruler set up the La Havana Temple, No. 303, with 82 women as members. The temple was worked up by Mrs. Rudd.

Mrs Fraser, after telling of the won favor redful hospitality extended the ladies by charge the Cuban and Panama people, declared on the HARLEM THIEVES, SPECIAL CAUGHT IN POLICE NET L Candy Buyer's Sweet Tooth Caused Small Box, But He Also Took A Just Delivered To The Retail During the past week thieves in Harlem have been stealing all sorts of things from candy to women's dresses, and in most cases, when caught, they had pistols on their persons. A boothblack who gave his age as 24 years, his address as 100 West 141st street, and his name as James Jackson, was arrested by Detective McLaughlin of the East 104th street police station, who became suspicious of two bundles which he was carrying under his arms. Upon investigation it proved that the packages contained candy valued at $1950 which had been stolen from Max Silverman, who has a candy store at 1548 Madison avenue. The candy store keeper claimed that Jackson came in his store just after two packages of candy had been de livered and that Jackson bought some candy, paid 40 cents for it, and went out. After Jackson had come he missed the packages of candy that there is much needed social service work to be done in Havana. She stated that many of the men a lazey and will not work, but spend all their time standing around the streets and gambling for a living. The playing of the musical instrument is another being a government licensed operation. Another deplorable condition arises, she says from licensed prostitution, and the ease with which illegitimate children are gotten rid of by their mothers. Beginning is also a licensed operation. CHICAGO THEATRE MUST PAY COLORED DENTIST DAMAGES Court Assesses Tivoli Theatre $2,000 For Beating Given Man By Ushers Judge Hugo Pam, in the Superior Court here, has awarded $2,000 damages to Dr. Leont M Headen. Negro dentist, in suit against the Tivoli Theatre, a south picture house Headen alleged he had been set upon and beaten by others two years ago, when he objected against accepting interior seats The case was decided after a two days hearing. Headen asked $10,000 damages for assault and $500 on a charge of discrimination by the theatre management. Counsel for the theatre owners argued that no discrimination had been shown. The plaintiff they argued, had attended the Tivoli before and had been accorded the same courtesy as white patrons. The jury was out for one hour and then brought in a verdict of $2,000 in favor of the plaintiff on the assault charge returning a verdict of guilt on the charge of discrimination. SCIALIZING IN CANDY, ET DURING PAST WEEK Used Him To Pay For 40 Cent Away Two Large Boxes Retailer, Worth $49.50 which he later identified as being his property. In the Court of Special Sessions Jackson pleaded guilty to a charge of petty larceny and was held in $500 bad Another young man, Robert Brant, 28, 121 West 121th street, is being held for the Grand Jury under $10,000 had for stealing, and violation of the Sullivan law. Policeman Monahan arrested Brent in his home where he found dresses and other women's wear valued at $50 and alleged to be the property of William Lamet 103 West 141st street who testified in the Washing ton Heights court that Brent held him up in the rear of his home and took from him a package containing two silk dresses. Lamet pointed out Brent on the street to Officer Monahan who went to Brent's home and found the dresses and a pistol and police shield. He was held $2,500 bad on the revolver charge. Police Officer Edw. H. Green, Attached To Brooklyn Station, Target For Gunmen Patrolman Edward H.

The arbitration connell which was held in Nashville, with representatives of the McKenzie administration, the board of trustees and the alumni present, did not seem to get very far. The vice-chairman of the board, J. Hollingsworth Wood, who went to Nashville during the early days of the outbreak, and who was quoted as giving full support to President McKenzie and his policies, is back in New York, but refuses absolutely to make a statement, or to be quoted, directly or indirectly. Beyond saying that the meeting was held, and that there is to be another meeting probably after the return of Chairman Paul Cravath, now in India or some other point in the Far East, Mr Wood was positively mum. Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor, of Brooklyn, who is a member of the board of trustees, and also a representative of the alumna, went to Nashville for the meeting, and is now back at home. He was advertised extensively as intending to preach on Sunday evening on "The Truth About the Trouble At Fisk," but the sermon did not materialize Dr. Proctor did make a brief statement, but the only direct statement was that another meeting is to be held on March 10, and that the troubles and difficulties will be smoothed out. In the meantime, students that have left Fisk have enrolled in the University of Michigan the University of California, the University of Minnesota, and possibly others. A telegram from Nashville on February 23 stated that only about 100 students including the local day students were in the class rooms and that many of the out-of town students would be leaving as opportunity offered. A protest meeting was held at Grace Church of Harlem West 190th street, on Monday evening, when addresses were made by Dr. A. Garner, A. Philip Randolph, Mrs. Josephine Holmes Frazier and others, and resolutions calling for removal of President McKenzie were ordered sent to Vice Chairman Wood of the board of trustees, who is acting chairman during Chairman Cravath's absence 5000 Local Subscribers Added In Past 2 Months WHEN you have Apartments and Rooms To Let and want Desirable Tenants ADVERTISE IN The New York Age We go into more homes direct than any other paper in Greater New York or New Jersey :: :: 230 W. 135th St. New York Telephone Bradhurst 0864 men, who claim to be the special patrolmen at Kew Gardens, Long Island; the shooting being done about 5 a.m. Tuesday morning in the vicinity of Fulton street and Saratoga avenue, Brooklyn. Officer Green was patrolling his beat when he heard pistol shots from the neighborhood of a poolroom at 2047 Fulton street, and he hurried there to investigate. The three men had been in the poolroom, but before Green reached the place they had gotten into a taxi. Hailed by the officer, they replied by firing four times at him and then driving rapidly away. Detectives Garland and Holland of the Ralph avenue station, and Detective Beck of the Liberty avenue station, met the taxi four blocks away, however, and arrested the men who gave their names as Patrick Walsh of 8711 139th street Jamaica; Harry Egbert of 87. Elders Lane, Forest Hills, and Fred Altenberg of 68 Rockaway avenue. They were held by Magistrate O'Neil in Gates Avenue Court in $5,000 bail each on charges of felonious assault. Kew Garden is notorious for the fact that the interests which control it place an absolute ban upon having any Negro residents in that section, and it is alleged to be one of the strong-holders of the Ku Klu Klan. 5 Women Caught In 133rd St. Raid 5 Women Caught In 133rd St. Raid After numerous complaints by residents of 133rd street between 7th and 8th avenues, police from the 16th Precinct raided an apartment at 224 West 133rd street and arrested five young women on a charge of vagrancy. Alice Brown, 26, said to have been the owner of the apartment, was also charged with knowingly renting rooms for memorial purposes. The others arrested were Josephine Smith, 24, Alice Collins, 21, and Mary Jones, 26. Shortly before this raid the police from this station raided the apartment of Mrs. Lora Clark, 45, of 110 West 133rd street, and she is being held on a charge of vagrancy and renting rooms for memorial purposes.

COOLHEADED ELEVATOR OPERATOR SAVES LIVES OF FORTY IN 57th STREET FIRE Bertram Malone Of 204 West 143rd Street, Shows Courage And Resourcefulness When Fire Destroys Three Floors Of 7-Story Apartment House—Car Stopped By Heat Bertraim Malone, 204 West 143rd street, saved the lives of forty persons in a three-alarm fire, which burned out the rear of three floors in a seven story apartment house at 328 West 57th street about 8:15 o'clock Sunday night, February 22, in which a prize winner fox terror, called "Bobshire", perished. Many of the tenants are theatrical folks, and were out at the time of the flames, Charles Croaker, King, who is playing in the "Mat Billo Franceau and Magnon I. Now, dancers, were among those whose wardrobes were burned. Mr. family McConnis, in maidage who was being on the fourth floor, was taken down with the assistance of a chauffeur in the street cleaning department. It was the cool headlessness of the colored elevator man, Malone, which prevented greater fascination. He had experienced a fire most done at 326 about a year ago, and on the DINING CAR, AT REAR OF DE LUXE A.C.L.

Police Making It Harder For Topers To Get Drinks Although Hooch Supply Seems Ample And Inexhaustible In Quantity Police Making It Harder For Topers To Get Drinks Although Hooch Supply Seems Ample And Inexhaustible In Quantity As a constant dripping of water wears the hard stone away, so the constant raiding by police and prohibition officials is gradually curbing the activities of Harlem's most damaging pest, the hooch hound. This recurrent activity on part of the police and federal enforcement officers is making it more difficult for the thirsty to get a drink, even though the fellow who knows the ropes and thus has access to seemingly unlimited sup- other side, at 330, some time previously. While he was on duty at the switchboard Sunday night he heard someone shout "Fire!" and quickly ran to the elevator and discovered the source of the smoke that was washing up out of the elevator shaft. He then set to work bringing down tenants and after two trips the elevator shaft became too hot for him to operate the car but he had carried down to safety some forty persons. Malone played safe by first closing all doors in order to shut off any draught and stuck to his post until the house was free of all tenants, who numbered upward to seventy-five, some of whom lost their trunks. Three former were overcame by smoke, and were given first and by Robert Manier, honorary chief of the Lute Department who came to the rescue in attending dress leaving his mother at a table in the Hotel Plaza. Gig It Harder For Topers To Although Hooch Supply Seems And Inexhaustible In Quantity dripping of water wears the hard stone giant raiding by police and prohibitionally curbing the activities of Harlem's st, the hooch hound. A activity on part of the police and fed- officers is making it more difficult for tho ink, even though the fellow who knows has access to seemingly unlimited sup- plies may think otherwise. There is some measure of justification for this attitude or doubt on part of the regular tenor for some of the wiskeyemporiums seen to have an inexhaustible supply of hooch within easy access. For notwithstanding the raiding of their saloons and the confiscating of large quantities of liquor, the joints are opened for business with ample stocks on hand as soot as the officers have gotten comfortably way. But, just the same, the task of getting a drink is getting harder and harder as the days go by. A patient evidence of this is to be found in the unusual precautions now being taken by most of the illiant liquor sellers. The front door is kept locked, and a man is stationed out in front, where he has a clear and unobstructed view of all his surroundings. He gives a signal to the door-opener when the "safe" customer seeks entrance, and he likewise gives the "thumbs down," signal when the would-be customer is unknown or of a suspicious appearance. The hooch points on Seventh avenue doing business openly and brazenly, have all been raided at various times by prohibition and police officers, and cases are on the Federal Court dockets against them, but a scarcity of Judges has necessitated a delay in bringing them to trial. As Judges are available, United States Attorney Hayward, or his successor, will bring these men to the bar—not of the saloon, but of the court. While it has developed that some of the men formerly engaged in hostility have turned their attention to the "humbers" game as offering large and apulent opportunity for financial profit. It is also rumored with persistence, frequently that Loul Immerman and Ryman Kessler, two of the med who were formerly of the holdest and most brassiest hound group, are planning to reenter the game. Rent Graft Evils Cured By Court Processes, But Task Is Long, Tedious Statement By Greater Fisk Committee The recent trouble at Fisk University has led to the calling together of the Greater Fisk Committee composed of "W'at Kin I Do, When You Are Far Away An' I'm In Jail—W'at Kin I Do?" Both of these men ran afoul of the United States Attorney's office, and in the parlance of the prize draw, the conflict resulted in a "draw." The federal prosecutor, realizing the difficulty of securing a conviction, permitted the boot-leggers to quietly close up shop and go out of the business, on the promise to stay, out, in considering a flogging the caseer which had piled up on the federal docket discounted. The numerous places which these men were operating were accordingly dismantled and closed, and to all outward appearances the hooch bounds were keeping their words. At the same time, however, there was a recurrent whispering to the effect that these men had only put a temporary stop to their personal activities; that in reality they were the "unseen beckers" behind other hooch joint operations in Harlem, which were hidden behind dummy owners, or managers. Loul, it is reported, 'as found it profitable to operate as a "numbers" banker, opening what appears from the outside to be a cigar store, the oldtime favorite camouflage for a hooch joint, but which is fitted up in the rear as a poker playing parlor and headquarters for receiving reports and money from runners and collectors who handle the "numbers" playing transactions of the hundreds of daily clients. And the latest report is that Loul is 'contemplating a chain of such places, on the basis that if one returns a satisfactory profit, a number of them 'must be the more profitable. — List of Hooch Joints MADISON AVE—2084; 2096.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR TOM C. ANGROM Well Known New Yorker Died At Miami, Fla., Where He Went Seeking Health Funeral services for the late Thomas C Angrom who lived at 434 St Nicholas avenue were held from St Philip's P. E. Church, West 134th street on Monday afternoon, February 23 Rev Hutchins Bishop and Rev Shelton Bishop officiating There were very touching services and Harry T Burleigh sang "Crossing the Bar" The late Mr. Angrom was born in Little Rock, Ark, on June 28, 1886. He went to Miami, Fla, in hopes of recuperating from his impaired health and died in the Christian Hospital, February 17, 1925. His sister, Mrs Ada Howell of 215 West 151th street, New York City, was at his bedside when the end came. Mr Fitzherbert Howell met his wife and the corpse in Washington ton, and arrived with it in New York Sunday, February 22 There were lovely floral offerings from friends, and interment was at Woodland Cemetery, conducted by Granville C Paris. The pallie hearers were Reginald Swann, Adolf Slaughter, Frank Thomas, George Lockett, Al Delancy and Archer Owens. He is survived by a mother, Mrs Georgia Angrom a wife, Mrs Lilian Angrom, four sister, Misses Mary and Josephine Angrom, Mrs Willie Europe and Mrs Ada Howell 141st ST. WOMAN USED REVOLVER IN SUICIDE ATTEMPT Now She Is Held For Having Pistol Without A Permit Mary Sherwood 148 West 141st street attempted suicide in her home early Monday morning and is being held for the possession of a pistol without a permit. She inflicted a wound in her left shoulder, having used a 32 calibre Harrington and Richardson revolve, and was treated at the Harlem Hospital by Dr. Sermon. The only witness for the attempted suicide was finest Smith of the same address who was in his room at the time. First Degree Murder Indictment Against East Side Gunmen Frost Minna, 211 Fast 92th street has been indicted for first degree murder by the Grand Jury for shooting to death detective Chester Hagan in the Bronx last week. He is to be arraigned in the Bronx County Court to plead to the indictment and Rent Graft Evils Cured By Court Processes, But Task Is Long, T tedious Housing conditions in Greater New York, particularly in Harlem, are such at the present time that many tenants paying exhorbitant rent must choose between fighting for rent reduction in the Municipal Courts or paying their expenses by sub-leasing their basements and rooms for illicit enterprises and purposes. There are many yacht rooms at the present, and this makes difficult for tenants to rent rooms. As an indemnity to roomers a tenant is often forced through sheer need of money to grant roomers additional privileges other than the ordinary kitchen privileges, and in many cases the extra privileges are of an illicit character. The unemployment situation forces many families to take in roomers to help pay rent, and where all in the family are working there is another problem based on the drop in wages which causes a man whose rental is $100 a month while his salary is $80 a month to sublet, some of his rooms to an outsider, submitting to his use of it whatever way the roomer desires. Landlords are concerned as to how tenants get the rent, in most cases, as long as it is paid promptly. Their earnings on apartment houses in the past three years have increases from 38 per cent to 45 per cent. One way in which rent boosted so high was a fault of some tenants at the time when apartments were hard to get when numbers of them offered landlords as high as $125 for an apartment if he would oust the present tenant who was paying not more than $85 monthly. The janitors who were acting as renting agents on the premises got the idea of graft and made extra money for themselves by asking a bonus of every one who came to him for an apartment. The bonus was only a deposit as a guarantee to give the prospective tenant the first choice of renting the next vacant apartment but he would let it go to the one who had paid him the highest bonus. Dally many tenants, suffering from the burden of excessive rentals, are em Dining Car, At Rear Of De Luxe Express; Bears (Continued from The Atlantic Coast Line in York to Key West, Fla., leaving shortly after 9 a. m., had stop for the changing of engines, local, pulled by an electric e-passing through the under-five minutes later.

Almost immediately the wreckage caught fire, and burned until there was nothing left. Only a few passengers were in the dining car, but the waiters and cooks, all colored, were bustling about, busy preparing for the breakfast rush which would follow after leaving Manhattan Transfer.

One instance of what goes on in the "Rent Courts" is the case of Mrs. Mary Turner. 2400 Seventh avenue, who was given judgment against Morris Moore Sons in the Seventh District Court, 320 West 125th street, when Justice Crane granted her a rent reduction from $120 to $108 a month. Three tenants in the apartment house at 141 Edgecombe avenue were granted $10 a month reduction each by Justice Whalen. They were William A. Dixon, Forte, Forte and Mrs. Addie Bucklman. At $14 West 134th street the rent was reduced for Edward Tait front $5 to $45 and for Harold Nelson from $80 to $70. Tenants living at 248 West 129th street have been given until September 1 to find new homes and give up the house to new owners who have recently bought the building. One of the recent court rulings was that where a tenant gives possession of an apartment to another, the owner cannot evict the new tenant. Another was that a tenant has a right to let his rooms to lodgers if he wishes to do so. A tenant was told by Judge Marks that no matter how bad the condition of a house might be as long as a tenant lived in the house he would have to pay the rent, but if there were complaints against the building they should be filed with the Tenement House Department who would put a violation on the house, then the tenant would be required to deposit the cent regular in the office of the court clerk until the house had been put in proper condition by the landlord.

SHOT WIFE TO DEATH, THEN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, BUT ONLY SHATTERED OPTIC NERVE, CAUSING ABSOLUTE BLINDN SHOT WIFE TO DEATH, THEN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, BUT ONLY SHATTERED OPTIC NERVE, CAUSING ABSOLUTE BLINDNESS Roanoke, Va.—A pathetic scene was enacted in the city court room one morning during the past week when Benjamin Arringtoh was brought before the bar of Justice to plead to a charge of firing the shot which cost the life of his wife, Mrs. Sarah Near Arrington. The prisoner felt his way into the court room, being blind from a self inflicted bullet wound in an attempt to end his life after he had fired the shots which killed his wife, with his two small daughters looking on, bewildered beyond speech. Arrington was upset over some domestic affair. He accused his wife of being unfaithful to him. He quarrelled with her and finally decided to end it all. Giving no warning, allowing the helpless woman no chance for her life, the enraged husband pulled a revolver from his pocket and fired two shots at her. Both bullets entered the woman's body and she crumpled to the floor of her home at the feet of the two little girls. Her career on earth was ended and the children were without a mother to guide them. Unable to withstand the thought of his awful crime, the husband then pointed the revolver to his own temple and pulled the trigger, falling in a heap upon the floor alongside of the slain wife. The cries of the distressed little girls, after three reports from the Acting Treasurer of Beth Of St. John Lodge, Mase Is Samson Lodge Finan Acting Treasurer of Bethel Church Is Member Of St. John Lodge, Masons, Not Bouyer, And It Is Samson Lodge Finances Being Examined Into Officers of Samson Lodge, No. 65, have called attention of The Age to a statement contained in the story published in issue of February 21, stating that Walter O. Smith, acting treasurer of Bethel A. M. F. Church, is being asked, as an official of Bouyer Lodge, of Masons, to explain some unsatisfactory conditions with regard to that lodge's finances. This is incorrect, it appears as Mr Smith is a member of St John Lodge F. A. M., and not Bouyer Lodge, and it is the finances of the Samson Lodge which was found by Smith, that are being examined into. The Age informant explains that Smith, when he had founded Samson Lodge demitted from St John Lodge and served as worshipful master of the new lodge from its formation in 1922, until St John's Day, 1924, when he was deposed from office. It is alleged, that during this period of his service as master of Samson Lodge, Smith exercises arbitrary and automatic control over all activities, including the money The lodge treasurer, it is asserted, was not permitted to handle any of the lodge money, and before the two years of Smith's scam had expired, there were Service The Keynote of This Great Business Institution PORO CO.

Arrington was rushed to the hospital where he slowly recovered, but his eye sight was totally lost. He was confined to jail, where he told the city coroner the complete story. The bullet that had entered his temple tore through his head and came out near the eye, affecting the optic nerve, which resulted in total blindness. On the day of the atrial the court room was crowded with men and women from all parts of the city. The case was an unusual one in the annals of the colored people of Roanoke. Ben Arrington was the first member of the race to murder his wife and then attempt suicide. He was the first blind murdered ever tried in the city courts. He was escorted in the court room by a guard from the city jail. The prison guard for Jack Cooper who died in the electric chair for the murder of his step-daughter, Australia Wiley of Salem, Va, some time ago wanted to know what the state could do with Arrington since he was blind. He also thought that it was strange that a helpless blind prisoner should need a keeper. Arrington pleaded guilty and his attorney and the commonwealth compromised on eight years in the penitentiary. The Church Is Member Sons, Not Bouyer, And It Ences Being Examined Into rumors of fiduciary discrepancies that came to a head at the session of the 1924 Grand Lodge, when Grand Master Parker, it is alleged, sequestrated all the books of Samson Lodge and ordered the grand lodge auditors to make an examination and report their findings. It is said that Samson Lodge officers have not been able to get an official report from the auditors, but have been told verbally that the books are so muddled that they can get neither heads nor tails from them. In the meantime, Samson Lodge has called on its members to turn in their finance cards or dues books, so that an examination can be made of money credited as dues and taxes, to be checked up against credits that have been entered in the lodge books, as may eventually be revealed when the grand lodge auditors have either reported or turned the books back to Samson Lodge for its own examination. It is this state of affairs, said to be well known in lodge circles, which was referred to as the basis of criticism by members am Bethel A M E.

His sightseeing trip, terminated at Jamaica, Long Island, where we met some of the old down home boys, among whom: wrote "hill blifes" and "stick whitlers," who wished to know how lines were down South. As an inducement to talk ever old times Watkins was treated to some home made Dixie champagne, or dry gun, which went to his head, and after he had consumed as much as he could hold he didn't care what he did, so he left his new acquaintances and found a way into the home of Arthur Ovender, at Farmers avenue and Rockway Boulevard, South Jamaica, which seemed like home again so he decided to sleep there for the night.

CARPENTER IS GUEST IN BROOKLYN OF CARPENTER CLUB "Y" Trustees Charged With Barring Reception After Women Hired The Hall A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter former pastor of the Bridge Street A.M. E. Church, Thursday evening, February 19, at Ionic Temple, Brooklyn. Dr. Carpenter, who is now pastoring in Buffalo, came down to Brooklyn at the invitation of the Carpenter Literary Club, of which Mrs. J. Francis Cooper is president. The spacious Ionic Temple was inadequate to accommodate the huge gathering that attended to testify to the continued popularity of the former Brooklyn pastor. The officers of the Carpenter Literary Club engaged the spacious auditorium of the Carlton Branch Y. M. C. A. for the occasion, but, it is alleged, were later told that they could not have the use of it. I is alleged that Mr. Comither, secretary of the Branch, informed the ladies of the club that he had to cancel the engagement on account of objections made by certain members of the Board of Management. Consequently, the members of the club secured Ionie Temple, the home of the Prince Hall Masons No one could block that Samuel A. Gubbs was introduced by Mrs. Cooper as master of ceremonies Seated on the platform were Rev. Carpenter; President Elder Chas. E. Wilson, David W. Parker, Grand Master of the F. and A M., George E. Wibecan, P. G E R. of Elks, Dr. Roland R. Johnson, and officers of the Littery Club All of the A. M. E. clergy of Brooklyn were invited as guests of honor, but none appeared except Presiding Elder Wilson, which was commented on by the master of ceremonies The exercises began with the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner," by the assembly, followed by invocation by Rev Dougherty, Mrs Sarah F Russell sang a solo, Miss Martha R Thomas, of Ithaca, read selections from Douglass and Dunbar, Herman Goss sang a solo, and Mrs K Fassett, secretary, read a symposium of the club. Rev Carpenter was then introduced amid great applause, and delivered an eloquent address entitled "Frederick Douglass as an Inspiration for today." The address, calculated to inspire the race to go forward, was received with much applause and amene. Following Dr Carpenter, brief addresses were made by Dr Wilson, Mr Parker, Dr Johnson and Mr. Wubecan, all testifying to the sterling worth of the Rev Dr Carpenter. After the ceremonies the audience repaired to the dining room of the Temple where a very sumptuous vollation was served by a committee of ladies, under the directions of Mrs M M Merriweather. The Carpenter Literary Club was founded a little over a year ago by Mrs L. Jones Johnson, an damed in honour of Rev Carpenter. The present officers are Mrs. Cooper president Miss K.

E. Burghardt DuBois, who recently returned from an extended tour of West Africa communities. Soil and residential segregation by race, disfranchisement that the Negroes almost without political power; peonage of the white work at low wages; little popular education; and completion of the courts by white judges and prosecutors are with black civil officers including the city's mayor, and merchants and professional men; and the resultant confiscated by Dr. DuBois in the words: "Blacks were they were subordinate." article. Dr. DuBois endeavor to find the root of this problem and he discovers for one thing that the whole natives in the interior is based on revenue to the truder and cheap raw material for the Engineers. And that this is accomplished through using them, captoling them, and displacing those who trust on part of the West African is seen in the North British West Africa which has held two meetings for a third conference, with a permanent general maintained at Secoulee.

The older people were grasping at a more or less stable economic foothold; buying from England, selling some raw products. As time went on some of them sent their sons and daughters to England. Their wives, too, and established their families there for purposes of education. Very slowly, but certainly, there arose in British West Africa a group of Negroes with educated leadership, a few with the best modern university training. England was rather negligently proud of them. They were curiosities when they appeared in London. Queen Victoria's Government promised them eventual autonomy and the chance to set up for themselves, presumably as an independent country. On March 3, 1865, a select committee of the House of Commons resolved "that the object of our policy should be to encourage in the natives the exercise of those qualities which may render it possible for us more and more to transfer the power of the Government with a view to our ultimate withdrawal." Purising this policy and with the energetic pushing forward of the Negroes the colony was virtually in the hands of black folk by 1880. Sir Samuel Lewis, a colored man had been Chief Justice. Metarthy was, Queen's Counsel and the people were voting and electing their own officials. The Partition Of Africa Meantime matters changed Africa became a great open land for new raw material. Instead of giving up African colonies, the European bottoms after the middle of the nineteenth century began to sample for all the territory they could get there and by 1833 had it dominate) divided up English business to move out to Africa and when it moved to West Africa it met the educated Negro leader What happened? (One can best sense this by going to Sierra Leone today. You was a country of black folk, of black talk of all degrees of wealth and education. At the governor's garden party I met black men and women of culture and manners. They would have been at home in any cultured assembly. Their dress was not that of the latest London tailors and yet they were well dressed. The women perhaps, most of all, followed least the latest styles and yet they were soft voiced, restrained and pliable. It was interesting to the governor that garden party was conventionally English, tall and slim, with white top hat and morning coat. How was the gracious Great Lady Around them were shrimpmen and Negroes, but they did not mingle. Yet their lack of mingling was altogether different from anything I have seen. In the black belt of the Southern United States white and black do not mingle, but the line is definitely and openly defined. There is a place for the blacks, and wander and wanker as they will they never cross the line. Yet acres that definite and mutual recognized line the faces talk. Hawter quite good-natured in Sierra I come with such a line visible. Now black can now a white line. And could the tower be laid in black. But when they stopped for conversation with white children spoke with black to black with white. This was a sense of independence not necessarily hostility. They acted rather as people of the same social status who had been introduced. Paradox Of Negro Rule Sierra Ione proper, with Free-town and some 430 square miles about it is a settlement dominated by civilized Nigreas in fall types. When the partition of Africa added 43,000 square miles of huntingland to this, there urbsa a dilemma. Legally, Freetown would rules, the hinterland and if it had not had been white, would have been raided; it would have been 'home rule', divorce right. But Freetown was black and aggressively black and true to its great principle of divide and conquer; England proceeded to drive a wedge between native and civilized blacks and to back the movement with propaganda the black West African was all right in a way and capable of doing so. But small marchan, but he would never do as a ruler. White men must rufly At a time, then, when blacks were rising in the Government and civil service of Sierra Leone, the professions and trade, and were on the way to dominate colony and protecate, there came a new dispensation. The power of the blacks was stricly confined to the 450 square miles of Freeville, where power was narrowed and curtailed. Around the little Negro republic within "centred at Breetown there, was built up a great protectorate. This super-government surrounded and choked, and overshadowed the "original black republic. The republic still has its feeble forms of government operating within the offices of Fortress of Fortune, which governs the Mayor and some other local officers. But the funds and powers of execution and expenditure are strictly curtailed. Practically direct taxation on land and houses is its, only form of revenue. Police, Sanitation, the harbor, business and commerce in general and all matters to do with the natives and education are all under the protectorate Government. And not under the protectorate, but as jurors must be protected, but as jurors must be will in criminal cases abolish trial by jury, and in all cases the white judges sifting as a Court of Appeal pass on their own judgments! Powerful White Government Thus the Government of the Protectorate is white, is overshadowing, is all-powerful. At the head of this Government is the autocratic Governor who is practically a king by divine right. He is in reality responsible only to the Colonial Office and the Colonial Office, in London is responsible to no one. The policy of the white government is to curtail the functions of what remains of the Negro government; to keep the educated and voting Negroes as far as possible from all contact with the natives and the natives from all such leaderships; where the live is divided into districts, and over each is a District Commissioner responsible to the Governor and with practically unlimited power over the natives. The civil service in its upper branches is largely confined to white men who receive high salaries with many and valuable perquisites. In a country where the ginnie, of the mass of the city, is very small, and where the average pay of colored civil servants is $150 a year, the Governor gets $20,000 a year, a mansion and Summer bungalow; the Secretary, Treasurer, Controller of Customs, three Commissioners and medical officials get from $5,00 to $6,00 a year each and homes. The Chief Justice and Attorney General get $10,000 and $6,000 and homes other white men receive from $4,000 to $5,000. In all, 203 Europeans receive perquisites, $350,000 a year in salaries. In addition to this are numerous recessions, paid in England from the local revenue ranging from $50 to $2,500 a year. A man who could scarely earn $2,000 in England comes out to Sirira Leone in a salary of $5,000, with all the witchery of authority over "niggers". Submissive Native Chiefs The native tribes are ruled by the Governor and his Commissioners through their chiefs; that is, chiefs who accept white rule and behave and send down palm oil, kernels, rice and other articles, receive money and favors from the Government and its Commissioners and are held in power. Those who do not deserve their land and remain from their return, the Government builds roads, makes crop experiments and furnishes a little education for the chiefs' sons through elementary schools superintendent by white men. The Governor and his appointees cause by indirect taxation a revenue of about $1,000,000 a year. Nearly all the white people in the colony are officials and more are officials with a status made for them because they are officials. The most beautiful and salubrious residential district in the colony is officially assigned to their presidents for residence. The Government makes their roads buffles their houses, lays out their homes courts and golf links. The official rule on a special car on the trains, thus practically managing a farm from exile. The official rules are announced as mandated to "make Sierra I come habitable by white folks." The white merchants are united in a Chamber of Commerce, which has representation upon the Governor's council, and consequently the right to present its views. Moreover since it represents the chief source of commerce in which the Government is based, and since through its English commercial connection it ever strong influence in the Colonial office in London its views must be received with attention. There is no incident a clear line to the membership in this Chamber of Commerce and there are a few colored members, a number of which are valued $125 and there is no restriction upon the number of member ships which any commercial organization may take. An Ingenious Solution Here, then, is the problem. One astonished it the amount of its solution. One wonders how much might not have been accomplished if half the ingenuity used here had been used really to build up and develop the African in Africa. As it is, there is no real difference in the two African countries. Do the one hand on hears of impudent and hair educated NTs to leadenck skats and long coasts while the other hand will help all lives for their own aggrandement and, on the other hand, one hears Englishlish living in luxury asylum salaries, pensioned for life at the expense of the black taxpayer after a comparatively few years, service, re- sponsibility, good health, aggrandement and profit for English merchants and investors. 'Out of this situation, has' grown agitation. This agitation has naturally by lighten black community into warring conflicts. 'There are' colored people who, gain, by the present arrangement: 'Always the Government has something in its gift for colored men: There are few but possible imperial honors to be distributed. Then there is a large class that says: "What's the use? What can I do against the naughty job? Do all English students do well? Well all English experts who can give us better sanitation than Africans can. She brings out trained administrators with whom we cannot compete. She administers our finances. Why not bear it and hope for adjustment in the futurity?" Then there are the radicals with wild criticism, with personal grievance, with personal failures. Despite all this there, we always strong' Negroes in Sierra Leone who declared that West Africa was the only country demanded the abolition of color discrimination in the civil service and color discrimination in residence. Such men were marked, naturally, for governmental disproportion, and against them were pushed-forward puppets, "white folka" piggers, who pretended that all was well when one considered the shortcomings of the black folk. Official Discrimination The first reaction of black West Africa was to win the battle by individual ability; to push their young men forward; to give them the best university training, particularly in the professions, and thus gradually to work colored men into the civil service and into power. This path of advance was pretty effectually stopped by governmental action. Whereas in 1892 a black man, Sir Samuel Lewis, was acting Chief Justice of Shera Leone, and Maxwell Chief Magistrate of Gambia and Chief Magistrate of Chief of the Gold Coast, laterly no black man has been appointed Judge or held any judicial office under the Government. For a while it was impossible for competent black men with first-class university degrees in medicine to secure appointment in the African Medical Service, and when finally, by continued agitation, some were appointed, they were put in a special African department at lower salaries than the white men who had pursued exactly the same courses and passed the same examination. The black began that their fight for individual advertisement was not only systematically blocked by the white Governors, and their police officers, but that they were making in their battle the support and sympathy of the natives. A Mighty History Now the natives of Sierra Leone and its hinterland are men with a mighty history back of them, a history of organization, education, State building, literature and art. They are a part of that great development of human culture in Western Africa which lately has been brought to the attention of the cultured world. They come within the history of the coast reaching from the mouth of the Gambia to the mouth of the Niger, 3,000 miles, where a marvelous world of world history has been enriched here. A Frohemberg came the field of the fierce hergc came Phoenicians and Carthaginians, and from the interior came the Yoruba Benin-Dahomey peoples. Behind them came the Mossi and upon the high plateau toward the Central Sudan arose, in the past, the great empires of the Melistine and the Songhay War conquest and the slave trade have swept over these peoples and left them disintegrated and bewildered, but they have still the material of great nations. Gradually then the new and European blacks leading Sierra Leone began to go in touch with the christian groups of the native State. This was easier as time went on because some of the ones of the christians and of the great families had been among the young men educated in the mosques school and sent to Europe. National Congress Formed Finally this whole station and tight came to a head in a National Congress of British West Africa which met at Arica on the Gold Coast in 1920. There were present representatives from Gambia Suriname, the Gold Coast and Nigeria. The meeting had been projected in 1915 and pushed further in 1916, but came to a head finally only in 1920. The object as stated by J. W. Dove a colored man of Sierra Leone was: Firstly, to effect a union between the four colonies, secondly to stimulate public interest in matter affecting public welfare thirdly to give greater weight to West Africa can opinion. We believe we have paired the days of childhood which have been associated for years, pay with the black man, in either believe the day have passed passed the day, was passed passed the day, the African child a child and must be treated as a child will the time has passed passed the African child should be treated against the will to be treated that are not in accordance with the instructions or that benefit African Nature Demands The conference was a week跋躇, debated on some of the thoroughly draw up a splendid set of documents and sent a deposition to England. Official England refused to receive the deposition and nethish newspapers were dubbed "The door of the Colonel. Of Office was the door of the Colonel. But all this was in vain. The committee became a permanent body. It may again Bathurst in January. 1923 and is like preparing for a third meeting. A permanent office under a General Secretary; is maintained in Seconddee, Gold Coast. The official attitude within the British office of the first surname, it was compelled to give way. In 1922 Nigeria was granted a Legislative Council, with a minority of elected members, the majority still being appointed by the autocratic Governor. In 1923 the Gold Coast was given a similar grant, and in 1924 Sierra Leone leaving Gambia for subsequent action. To guage the meaning of this we must remember them in Sierra Leone, the former Legislative Council consisted of twelve persons, eight, white, colonial, officials and four "unofficial" members (three black and one white). All these were appointed by the Governor. The new system is the officers of Council, eleven official and ten unofficial. The unofficial members two are elected by the people, two nominated by commercial interests and five appointed by the Governor. Of these five, three are to be native chiefs and two others colored men. It is a muddled and indiscrete step, but it is a little step toward democracy in West Africa. Naturally the Africans are not placed with this sip and they are protesting and pushing. Concessions in the civil affairs of the West African Medical Service established "for the health of the whites" seven of the twenty physicians are now Negroes. Certain "African" assistants in the Treasury and Colonial offices are being appointed, junior to the white Secretariat, and with less pay. This slow and grudging illiberal selding is in vain. Black British West Africa is out for self rule and, in our day it is going to get it. Fort Valley H. and I.

Hampton, Va.-Miss Harriet S. Faylor, teacher of English aid public speaking in the Hampton Institute Academy and Teachers College, recently read in Oden Hall, before a general assembly of workers and students, a paper prepared by Miss Winifred A. Herton, librarian, on "Libraries and the Use of Books." When Miss Leonara E. Herron, the present librarian, came to take charge of the Hampton Institute Library in 1891 there were about 5000 volumes to care for. Sixty-four volumes taken out in a day, was the highest record that year. In 1903 the Huntington Memorial given in memory of Collis P. Huntington, was opened. At present there are in the Huntington Library about 200 periodicals, and a collection of perhaps 15,000 mounted pictures. The Malone collection of books on the Negro, which is for reference only, numbers about 2,000 volumes. The private library of the late Dr. Philip B. Brooks, a colored physician of Washington; D. C., was recently purchased. for Hampton Institute, through the kindness of George Foster Peabody, of New York, from the Palmer Land. The collection number, about 10,000 books. From this collection some 600 volumes have been taken for the Malone collection. The Hunting Memorial Library at Hampton Institute contains some interesting works of art, namely, the equusrian statue of General Armstrong by the English sculptor E. D. Pegraan, a bask-relief of Collins P. Huntington by Bela L. Raft, portraits of Samuel C. Armstrong. D. Hollis D. Fruseil, George Poster Peabody, B. B. Monroe, C. P. Huntington, and Robert R.

MASON Zion Church Official Tells Erie Audience That Congress Should Assist Frie, Pa—During Racial Sunday, February 8, and the following Monday, Rev Dr Jas J. Mason, financial secretary of Livingston College, was the principal speaker on Race Relations at Erie. He gave three addresses under the auspices of the Central Y M C A. and Ministerial Union of the county. His addresses were high school of by the local press and favorably received by the local press. In addressing the Ministerial Union after discussing the relations of the races, he made a plea for national aid to education in the South. Among other things he said: "During the last 60 years, the voluntary contributions of the North has been an enormous force in promoting the enhancement of the South more than a million dollars a year have been freely given by the people and the churches of the North, and thousands of devoted lives have been conserved the work of education more the Livingston and the improvement and invocation of the common school. "The South or any other country must have public schools or 'tut.' Can you assign the river system on any country without the mountain springs and football rules? North can a healthy vigorous economy flow through the South without green banks and fresh fields but from a healthy common school system." Personally I am opposed to any intermingling on the part of the general government with the practical work of popular education. A national Bureau of education would like our nation to be a nation just as much as the United States, information concrete education, but any enlargement of its powers that would tend to remove the management of the schools from the hands of the people would be my opinion a total mistake. Holding these sentiments, I am still warring on an aging in a new decade. By appropriation I am in the middle system of the South. It is, without doubt, but not to continue the policy of entrance to the control of our common schools, to the several states, and the countries and townships into which this are divided. But as an exception to the general educational policy which I deem best on a government like, as a step, pressments demanded by the existing state of affairs. I think it would be present a and in for Congress to make a contribution or a terms of contribution to and on the educational areas of the South Congress has loved willows to desires and conquer the revenues of Cuba and the P.C.U. of the U.S. publics more than the size of the waste places, heat the zone, and forget one of the two "We'd We'd" as Fast good, the other "We'd We'd" as the "We'd We'd" as the "We'd We'd" to the other.

McLEOD ASKS WOMEN TO RESPOND SCHOLARSHIP FUND Nat'l Ass'n of Col Women To Observe Educational Rally On March 10 Dayton, Fl.—Mrs. Mary McLellan Bethune, president of the National Association of Colored Women, Inc., has issued an announcement and appeal combined, calling attention of the various women's organizations to the National Scholarship Fund and to the observance of the Educational Rally on March 10. Mrs. Bethune's appeal is a follows. Dear La-Workers. Now conge our supreme effort for the National Scholarship Fund—our great endeavor to perpetuate noble ideals and high aims of the race by encouraging and helping you to get the best training possible—the training of lead, hand and heart. In doing this important work, our National Association is caring its name, not upon brick and mortar, but upon the lives of the youth of the race. Because of our distinguished labors, "generations yet unborn shall call us blessed." The vision is that we and we dare not be "disobedient to the heavenly vision," but, like St. Paul, we must go forth in spite of toil and suffering and inundations by the way. I truly there are many things that we must do—our obligations pledge upon us; but dear friends—If you want something done, ask a busy person; if you need help given, ask some one who is already doing much for others. They who have the vision of real service give the last drop of oil the last "and" and help give the last drop of water the last "give" because shall be our key to give us unselfishly to our most "worthy" cause. That young man craving for something better than he has known, that girl praying that she might be fitted to serve. What a joy to recall in the years to come that we helped in ever so small way! Yes, we must invest in these young lives. Some one invested in it, thank God! Perhaps one invested in you. Let us pass it on! In our institution whenever we want to really accomplish some mighty task we must make a long pull a strong pull and a pull all together" and the song is done! Let every state do her best! Do it now! "Just give all the Lord stops giving you." You're in the highest expectation of proud united effort presided by MARY MCELEOJ BETHUNL. Daytona-Cookman Institute Vesper Service Draws Many Daytona, Fl. — The vaper service at Daytona Cookman Institute is attracting state-wide attention, many visitors to the service coming from remote parts of the state to worship on Sunday afternoon. The multimillionaires from the East and West can early be seen on Sunday afternoon driving in their Packards, Rolls Royce and Pierre Arrows to Daytona Cookman Institute in the congregation of the most distinguished families in America in Launays, President Henry Noble MacCracken of Vassar delivered a masterful exercise on the Lightnith Palm. In February, Franklin O'Neill, the only colored member of the American Hygiene Association in spoke at the vaper service, W. C. Church, National Student Secretary of the V.M.C., delivered an open address to the student secretary of the W. M.S. Church, conducted the vaper service The chapel has been increased by one half to accommodate the visitors to the Institution. The service starts at exactly three o'clock and lasts exactly one hour. Especially impressive is the music of the service. The students sing the ubiquitous anthems and the lively dance of salvation with their own tune. Lendra and the institution have invited that Tree Bellehune permit a troupe of her singers to tour the North.

The fact that there are a growing number of people without church affiliations in New York, as in other large cities, has moved the Federation of Churches to plan for a series of meetings, to revive religious interest and especially to urge the sending of the children to Sunday School. Arrangements have been made to hold one of these meetings at the Lafayette Theatre, to make a special appeal to Harlem parents. Whether a meeting of this kind will reach the class of the population who would benefit the most from church and Sunday School attendance is doubtful, but the experiment is doubtless worth trying. How to carry the church to the masses, or to attract the masses to the church is one of the chief problems of the home missions. If a meeting of the sort proposed can awaken an interest in the Sunday School, and induce parents to send their children regularly, well and good, but we are inclined to think that more active measures must be taken. We would suggest that the local ministers unite in a house to house canvass of the sections in which the people reside. Circulars should be printed setting forth the location of the various churches, with the hours of service and names of pastor and Sunday School officers. A cordial invitation to attend and send the children should be included, with the assurance that "This means You." In order to hold the children after they have once been drawn to the Sunday School, the lessons must be made so attractive as to enlist and hold the attention of the pupils. This will require the best efforts of efficient teachers and wideawake superintendents. All the modern devices of religious instruction must be provided, in order to teach the story of the Bible and the religious truths exemplified in the teachings of the Old and New Testaments. Even such modern inventions as the phonograph and moving pictures should be utilized when possible. Together with the work of religious instruction should be combined appropriate social features and diversions suitable for the various ages of the pupils. Much depends on the ability of the teachers and their adaptability for the work. They may be the essence of piety and perfection and yet unable to gain the affection and interest of their pupils. Attendance at Sunday School can only be maintained by having the right kind of teachers, who can make the sessions so attractive, as to make the children feel that they are missing something when they stay away. The church can be carried to the churchless only by going out into the highways and byways and inviting them in. And the invitation must be made so urgent and compelling that it cannot be rejected.

FOR STUDY AND RESEARCH. This age may be truly described as an educational era, because of the tendency of many millionaires to turn over their surplus millions for educational purposes. In most cases these millions are devoted to the founding of new schools or the extension and enlargement of existing institutions, with additional buildings and increased teaching capacity. Examples of this tendency are familiar in the case of the Rockefeller Foundation and the recent gifts of Mr. Lastman and Mr. Duke. This age may be truly described as an educational era, because of the tendency of many millionaires to turn over their surplus millions for educational purposes. In most cases these millions are devoted to the fouping of new schools or the extension and enlargement of existing institutions, with additional buildings and increased teaching capacity. Examples of this tendency are familiar in the case of the Rockefeller Foundation and the recent gifts of Mr. Eastman and Mr. Duke The latest benefaction of this nature is based upon a somewhat different plan. Mr. Simon Guggenheim, former United States Senator from Colorado, and his wife have announced the preliminary gutt of three million dollars to aid deserving young men and women in advanced study abroad. This endowment is to be known as the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowships, to be open to both sexes, married or unmarried, of every race, color and creed. The object of this endowment is to aid graduate students to carry on advanced study and research in any field for which they have given evidence of unusual talent. No restrictions are placed upon the object to be studied or the place where study is to be pursued. No age limit is to be prescribed for the students except that they must be old enough to have shown marked ability in their particular subject. The ex- pectation is that this will bring them as a rule between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five. The subject to be studied may be along academic or artistic lines, or may entail research in foreign systems of government, or business conditions or in the various learned professions. Art and music are specially mentioned as among the subjects contemplated. The foundation is intended as a memorial to the son of Mr. and Mrs. Guggenheim, who died on April 26, 1922. The purpose of its founders is that the income should be spent on men rather than on materials. It was suggested by the observation that the young man who has just finished college and is prepared to do valuable research, is too often compelled to spend his whole time in teaching on a small salary, and often loses the impulse for creative work in his subject. The broad spirit in which this foundation was conceived is reflected in the stipulation that its benefits are open to students of every race, color and creed. Its ultimate control will be vested in a board of trustees composed of the founders and others experienced in the direction of large affairs. There will also be an educational advisory board consisting of experienced educators. If the broad policy outlined by the founders is adhered to, these scholarships should be of inestimable value to the advanced students in various fields of activity. A DEAD UNIVERSITY. According to the testimony of calm and unbiased observers Fisk University is practically dead for the present scholastic year at least. Two-thirds of the students who walked out in sympathy with the protest of the upper classmen, have returned to the homes and in all probability will not again take their places in class. Hardly more than one-third of the enrollment of five hundred students is expected to be in attendance for the remainder of the scholastic year, ending in June. The trustees who gathered at Nashville in an attempt to settle the trouble refused to issue any formal statement until after the June meeting, beyond the announcement that they stood behind President McKenzie in his determination to maintain law and order. No action seems to have been taken upon the demands voiced by the students, which may be summarized as follows: The establishment of a student council, whereby under the form of student government there would be a wiping out of petty rules and regulations, including the spy system, for which should be substituted an honor system. A athletic association, with permission to raise funds to encourage athletics. A college publication to allow self-expression among the students and encourage the development of literary talent. The right to organize college fraternities and sororities. These demands do not seem to be unreasonable, as most of the privileges asked are now allowed in the leading college of the country, with advantageous results both to the students and the institution granting them. The honor system, athletic sports, college publications and societies are common in most of the larger educational institutions as to exeute comment only by their absence. These things are vital to the life of the college or university. The rest of any educational institution is embodied in its students.* Unless it has a student body it is dead. Neither buildings, nor employment, nor faculty can save it, if it has not students. It may be conceded that President McKenzie has labored conscientiously for the past ten years in the cause of Negro education as his supporters claim, but it is equally obvious that he has lost contact with the social viewpoint His usefulness is therefore valued so far as Fisk University is concerning this fact must be realized by the trustees. They want to save the university for the future. Trying to evade the issue or pussyooting around the facts, will not save the situation or the university. If the student do not get fair treatment the school will die. According to the testimony of calm and unbiased observers Pisk University is practically dead for the present scholastic year, at least.

Trying to evade the issue or pussy-footing around the facts, will not save the situation or the university. If the students do not get fair treatment the school will die. DISEASE OF FINANCIAL SYSTEM. DISEASE OF FINANCIAL SYSTEM. Recent troubles among certain financial institutions promoted and operated by Negroes warrant the belief that these ventures have fallen into the grip of a disease not unknown in other financial circles. This disorder may be called by a variety of names, but at the bottom it is due to over-extension of business beyond the limits of safety. There are limits to the amount of business that may be based on a fixed amount of capital. When this limit is exceeded, too much of the ready capital is locked up, or converted into frozen assets, as the financial argon would put it. Recent troubles among certain financial institutions promoted and operated by Xiroes warrant the belief that these ventures have fallen into the grip of a disease not unknown in other financial circles. This disorder may be called by a variety of names at the bottom it is due to over-extension of business beyond the limits of safety there are limits to the amount of business The inability to turn frozen assets into liquid capital has put many a financial concern upon the rocks and caused the downfall of the too ambitious speculator. The ability to think in terms of big business, to conceive schemes for investing surplus earnings in more lucrative investments, should be coupled with a reserve force of prudence that would hold the promoter back from overstepping the danger line. The North Carolina farmer who refused to make a third investment of ten thousand in the same concern on the ground that he did not believe in putting all his eggs into one basket, was gifted with the prudence of successful financiering. Especially is this disease of overextension apt to occur in a financial institution that is dominated by one-man power. No matter how successful a promoter may have become in reaping results from his initial enterprise, as he goes on he becomes overconfident because of his previous success, and frequently oversteps the line of caution. Here is where a hardheaded board of fellow directors would be of service as a curb and a restriction against this disease of overextension. But too often the directors who are chosen largely because they have become known in other lines than finance, are only dummies in the deal. The recent failures among Negro financial institutions are more largely due to this species of over-extension of investments and the errors of inexperience than to intentional dishonesty. The loss of the control of an insurance company in Atlanta and the closing of two banks in Philadelphia may be attributed to this first cause. Similar cases might be cited among enterprises among the other race, but financial failures among them do not spell the disproportionate amount of damage that they do with our people. However, these failures must be charged off to the account of experience and the lesson taught by them must be taken to heart by those of our financiers who have survived the test. The cautious financier who pursues a safe policy will not need to be warned of the dangers of ever-extension and frozen assets. He will keep a sufficient proportion of his assets in such liquid investments, that they can be turner into cash within twenty-four hours or less time; and so be prepared to meet any sudden emergency. KNOCKING THE NORDIC CULT. The theory of Nordic superiority, which was started not long ago as an adjunct or variation of the somewhat threadworn theories of "white supremacy" and "Anglo-Saxon domination," seems to be encountering some hard knocks of late. As the term Nordic is applied to the Germanic peoples of Northern Europe, especially the Scandinavians, its application in this country would be restricted to a small group of the white population. But it has been the idea of the advocates of this cult to extend the goup so as to include all blonds of the tall long-headed type. A serious blow to the claim of racial superiority for this group has been dealt by Dr. Franz Boas, professor of Anthropology at Columbia University, in a series of articles published in the Nation, the liberal weekly of this city. In his opening article, Dr. Boas denied that hereditary mental distinctions between races have ever been established.

He said: "The occurrence of heredity mental traits that beoing to a particular race has never been proved. The available evidence makes it much more likely that the same mental traits appear in varying distribution among the principal racial groups. The behavior of an individual is therefore not determined by his racial affiliation, but by the character of his ancestry and his cultural environment. We may judge of the mental characteristics of families and individuals, but not of races." A British authority on the same subject, W. J. Perry, was reported in a London cable-gram as asserting that the tall blond peoples are dying out in the great urban centers of England. The Nordic blond progresses all right in the country, he said, but the dark people thrive and multiply best in the city. If this keeps on, Mr. Perry thinks that Alpine and Mediterranean folks will predominate in Britain, as they did centuries ago. In the meantime the poor whites of the backwoods in the South are languishing and sulking under the self-imposed burden of Nordic superiority, which is crushing them down to the earth.

INCREASING CONGRESS SALARIES. The action of both houses of the present Congress in increasing the salaries of members of the Senate and House might be amply justified on the ground of the great increase in the cost of living since the present rate was fixed in 1907. The only plausible ground for criticism would be that the present Congress has failed to earn the present rate of salary, much less to deserve an increase. The bill passed raised the pay of members of the Senate and House from $7,500 to $10,000 a year, of cabinet members from $12,000 to $15,000 and of the Vice President from $12,000 to $15,000.

While the legislators evinced a lively interest in increasing their own pay, they were not so considerate of the welfare of minor workers in the service of the government. A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune said: While the legislators evinced a lively interest in increasing their own pay, they were not so considerate of the welfare of minor workers in the service of the government. A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune said: It was remarked about the corridors to-day that while the Senate increased its own pay it failed to grant an increase of $130 a year for Richard Blunt, colored jaucer in the document room, who had been in the service for twenty years and is efficient. He gets $1,010 a year now. Proposed increases for carpenters and locksmiths at the Capitol also failed. The salary increase amendment has been dubbed the "salary grab" by its critics, and as such it is likely to go down to history. 'The dubbing' of this salary increase as Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors or "grab" by its cities is but a repetition of ancient history. Every time that the members of Congress increase their salaries it is termed a grab, and yet it is only through such methods that any proper increase can be secured. While there may be many Feredal employees on the rolls whose services are not needed or not rendered, those who do the real work of carying on the government are notoriously un- "Angus Funeral Home Get a NEW Mortician" reads a headline in the Pacific Defender of Los Angeles, Cal. We gather from the news article that followed that the new acquisition was an embalmer and funeral director: 'On the same principle, the ancient corn doctor, who afterward became known as a chiropodist, has been supplanted by the podiatrist. The term tonsor has been suggested in place of barber or tonsorial artist, while the title of realtor has been legally adopted as the exclusive property of a group of real estate brokers. New lamps for old is a popular game in many lines. The Wisconsin Enterprise-Blade, published at Milwaukee, indulged in the following demonstration of civic pride: "According to figures furnished by the U.S. public health service, Milwaukee is one of the healthiest cities in the United States. We are proud of it." It evened up matters by saying in another column: "But we are disposed to feel—and feel strongly—that the unsightly and unhealthy conditions of the alleys to the south of the Arcade is a disgrace to the city." Under the heading, "Putting Romance in Negro History," the Indianapolis Freeman endeavored to separate the good from the bad in the scheme of African development put forth by Marcus Garvey. It said: A few Sundays ago Professor W. E. B. DuBois drew a vivid picture before an audience of young Negro men of the work and control of the cocoa growing industry by a group of natives on an island on the west coast of Africa. Would not the Negroes of America need ships to transport that article if they were in control of its world distribution? Fifty years from to-day the plan of owning ships, trading across the seas, exploiting foreign lands, investing capital in foreign enterprises; will hardy-create a ripple in the current of our lives in America. Social and economic inequalities are gradually driving us to took beyond the shores of America for the fulfillment of our ambition to make our place in the Sun. That we will never go as a group, lead by a self-styled king or president is a foregone conclusion, but some will go, that the rest of us may prosper. His gluttony, gluttony for gold, his plants ending in dishonor for himself and in some instances in misery for his followers, has supplied the Negro race with a world vision, ingested the blood of those among us who would date pointed the way to accomplish the ends, organized from reactive Negro tools and Uncle Toms said it was impossible Garvey's sons pointed his way to a prison cell but Garvey's honest vision gave us something to think about. Granted that there was a sound basis for the starting of a commercial enterprise in the trading plans outlined by Garvey, its successful operation was rendered impossible through his management. He was fundamentally incapable of running such an enterprise along practical lines, substituting claptrap and towfootery when sound business ability was needed. Whether his ideas could be carried out under more capable management remains to be seen. According to the Colorado Statesman regret is felt by the Negro residents of Denver because of the fact that the War Department resisted the order to garrison the famous Twenty ninth Infantry at Fort Logan, because of a protest from one of the colubris. It said, The query naturally arises, and with ample justification is the federal government impatient before the demands of a mason's village? Is governmental policy to make subsistence out to suburban race hatred? Shall the larger business interests of a great and growing city suffer handicaps because of the narrow vision of its country neighbor? Is the city swiver, and even though the Twenties' infantry never places feet upon Colorado soil, it must be admitted that a step backward has been taken by failure of Denver's more substantial interests to take a stand against the first serious attempt in years to make of Fort Logan a great garrison for the care of United States soldiers. If this protest needless beyond doubt, be permitted to stand then we have gained the form of United States support to reach out to the fartherest corners of the globe in protection of American interests and in protection of it rightful preagreatives. The War Department under its present administration has been materniously weak and bassed in its treatment of its colored soldiers. Colored organizations have been quartered at Southern posts under humiliation restrictions and the return of these soldiers from the Philippines was accomplished in such a manner as to cause needless suffering to the men and their families. Secretary Week may sound at heart but the military system in of the department works very badly. The Age Readers' Forum derpaid. The salaries of those who render real service should be made adequate to their labors. The drones and idlers who render no real service should be separated from the payroll. While the members of Congress cannot be blamed for making their salaries equal to their own valuation of their services they should not ignore minor employees, who equally deserve a raise in compensation. After describing what was styled "a remarkable scene" in the shape of a crowded meat market in Chicago, Eugene Marshall, writing in the Royal Messenger, said: It is estimated there are over 150,000 colored people in this city and we are considered to be the most progressive and prosperous colored people in the country. The place of business" I was observing was in the very heart of the greatest center of Negro population in the city. And the truth of the matter there is so little race pride among us, so little business ability and so little plan common business that we have until white men open a butcher shop for us to buy our meats. And as soon as that is done, we will patronize them so well, we are so anxious to give them our money and we are so satisfied with false weights and measures and inferior quality of goods, that we keep six white men busy from morning to night, waiting on us. Why don't we have a colored butcher, shop with six colored butchers waiting on us? This is the same question that confronts the race in all the large centers of population in the North. The lines of business that cater to the daily necessities of the people in the way of food and clothing, are still awaiting development. The capacity for utilizing such business openings seems, with few exceptions, to be lacking or at least undiscovered. The Pacific Defender of Los Angeles noted the turn of the title in the progress of the Klan in California. It said: The State of California, which has long been cofederated as being in the grasp of the Ku Klux Klan, is beginning to shake herself and make active efforts to throw off the glutch of this nefarious organization. Beginning with the spot in the ranks of the organization, the forming of independent Klans, and the filing of legal proceedings by the rival against each other, Klans have been a committee to issue Klan charters has gradually increased, interest, in this Race Organizations Should Support Race Enterprise and Effort Editor of The New York Age: Editor of The New York Age: You will please allow me space in your most valuable paper. I do not assume the full rights of the people throughout the United States and of her possessions, but what I do contend for is the people of Plainfield, that if I am a member of any fraternity organization or society and employed in any of the well known professions or trades, that whenever I could serve my people, I should be called upon What prompts me is the common truths that are around the people of Plainfield. In our secret organizations which I think are many, if someone dies we go to work and close our eyes on Negro undertakers. Why this is no one knows, but listen, fellow citizens. This practice is a disgrace to Negro indulgence and a constant drawback with no allowances. I believe that wherever colored men and women can be employed it is necessary that they should be lovingly considered. I believe that the creature our churches should preach life on earth as well as life afterward. After all this world is the only one which man knows anything about, and if we are taught the ways of life we should live in sympathy with our fellows. We want to know our people; we must put something over Support Negro undertakings. I believe that all secret societies have doctors, lawyers, undertakers, carpenters, plumbers, etc., within their walls, it is fitting that they should support them to the fullest. As long as Negroes in America do not rally to their own standard and people just so long you will be the second person in the light of the press and otherwise. We are looked upon as a funny set of people, easily fooled, easily robbed. The dignity that is yours is constantly chased; the position you occupied years ago is now taken and filled by someone else. Whose fault is it? Stop petty jealousies and be a man, put your race over; put your young men and women over. The white man cannot stop your progress you are too many. He wants to see your business without shutting your lips. I encourage our race men who are trying to do helpful things. In short, the men in business something to do.

Brown of Brooklyn, a winner in four state against the K. K. K. A. Now come a report from Anaham, h. h. h. stronghold in Orange County, and a the interesting story of how four of the voters marched to the public Tuesday, voting a recall ticket ousted known Ku Kux Klansmen from office. The Defender calls this political action significant, as indicating a popular awakening to the dangers threatened through the growth of this nectarous organization. We trust it has read the signs aright. The Africa-American Presbyterian of Charlotte, N. C., made the following announcement the first of the year. The AfricaAmerican Presbyterian is published this week in its new home, one-story, brick structure with ample modern equipment including a linetype machine or the latest model. The new printing office is one of the eight brick buildings erected on the grounds of Johnson C Smith University within the past three years. The following persons will hereafter constitute the staff for the publication of the African-American Presbyterian Rev. H. L. McCroye, D. D., LL B, Editor-in-chief and Treasurer, Mr. V. E.

The Buffalo American referred to an attempt to put a colored cab company in that city, out of business through the cancellation of insurance policies and the combined refusal of all the insurance agents in Buffalo to issue new policies. This conspiracy was frustrated by securing insurance from an insurance company in New York City. The American said: All race citizens rejoice to see the My-Cab Tax Company resume operation. Say what you will about the lack of solidarity in the race, yet any rank discrimination unites the race into a solid phalanx against the enemies of its progress. It would be well for some race antagonists to understand this. The men who operate the My-Cab Jine may be persona non grata with individuals within the race, but in spite of this all of the race with one voice rises up to light the iniquity and injustice which the combined strength of the competing tax companies employed to destroy this business. Local insurance companies who allowed themselves to become dupes of taxi companies in their vain attempt to snatch the business no enjoyed by the My-Cab company, should bring forth fruit fit for repentance. It is a blot on the character of the insurance men of Buffalo which will not easily come off. It looks as if the local insurance agents had laid themselves open to a charge of conspiracy, or at least forming a combination in restraint of trade. aders' Forum great and successful Circulation Campaign Contest.

Church On Sunday, February 22, the morning; and evening services of St. Marks M. E. Church were attended by record congregations. At the morning service a special program was rendered in accordance with a program prepared and sent out by the Department of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Josephine Holmes Frazier, a teacher in the public schools of New York and prominent member of St. Mark's Church was in charge of the program and conducted the same in a superlatively creditable manner. At the conclusion of the program, the pastor, Dr. Robinson preached a very eloquent sermon, taking as his text, Job, 22nd "chapter and 23rd verse. Theme "Character Through the Education." At the evening, Dr. Robinson delivered a very forceful and masterly sermon to the St. Mark's Alliance. Text, Job. 4th chapter and 22nd verse. Theme "Examine Thyself."

February 27, for the purpose of electing one delegate and one lay delegate to the Lay Electoral Conference to be held at Kingston, N. Y, April 1, 1925. Rush Memorial Church A large congregation worshipped at Rush Church last Sunday morning and listened attentively to the powerful and instructive sermon delivered by the pastor. Dr George M. Oliver. No doubt those who made a sacrifice to attend the services were doubly paid for the effort put forth. God gave them a beautiful day, as well as a shower of the Holy Spirit sent through the message of this able divine Dr Oliver's sermon was based on a part of the 10th verse of the 1st chapter of Ezekiel, which deals with the visions which this old prophet had, using as his subject for discussion the Maimonite Man. His teacher successfully pointed out to his audience that the duty of the church is the greatest of any institution of the world today. It is the only organization which man has not been able to overthrow, and in thinking of this fact mentioned in the text, we must ally it with the Lord of Judah, which is the face of man. The church is the medium through which must get his face to resemble that of Christ's. It is through religious reformation that man will be rehabilitated. This reformation will tend to make God's kingdom more solid. Once the individual will be the right sort of religion, it will be out and rebuilt itself through that man's face. Man's environment may have much to do with his life, but acts of criminally nature and the like are not necessarily hereditary trait. If he up to the men and women in a community to make a community a fit environment, this very often is a hard job, and has its discouragements attached thereto. Martin Luomet, when he began his Reformation, all kinds of hindrances, theless he kept himself a goal and succeeded, revealing the men in his efforts. The Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres celebrated the 62nd anniversary of the Order at 8 p.m. of Dr. preached from John S. 4 Subject "Victory". The Order was directed principally by the Order, but it was appropriate for all who worshipped at service. Dr. Oliver gave many statistical facts concerning this lodge, and wound up by telling them that the greatest weapon with which they can achieve victory is the religion of Jesus. W. H. Willis, Supreme Vice Chancellor, was master of ceremonies, and his remarks concerning the order were interesting and helpful. He told of three friends, and gave a complete analysis of each, namely a fraternal fraternal, and a same friend. Mr Willis is well known in this community and other places, and his advice is always acceptable to his au dience The celebration of the 75th annu- versary of the church will be observ- ed on March 25 Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church "Hear the interpretation of a line of Bible prophecy given by a heavenly angel" said Pastor Stracchia Sunday night at the Holocaust Second Seventh Day Church, 10th 108 W. 37th street Water was preaching from the Where To Go To Church his work is one of the Book of Dear Delight. Direct dreamed of four great beasts. He illustrated his talk by drawing the beasts, painted life sites, in beautiful colors, upon canvases. In the course of his remarks the speaker said: 'I am no prophet. I am no don of a prophet, neither have I special wisdom to interpret prophecy. I join with men everywhere in repudiating human speculation over the hidden things of the Bible. Finite interpretation of infinite mysteries never have been, and never can be helpful or dependable. God help me tonight to steer far from such a roll. "shall merely call your attention to it: Bible prediction, and I shall place by the side of that prediction the colorful, sensible, sound interpretation of that prediction as is given by a heaven-born angel." Quoting the angel the minister said: "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth." Quoting Bishop Elliott he said: "The fourth beast of Babylon, Medea-Persia, Greece and Rome the four great universal empires of the earth." Quoting the angel again the pastor said: "The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom." The speaker went on further to say that the prophecy in its fullest explanation reveals God's swift and terrible judgments upon the blasphemes and persecuting powers of the earth. He said that Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome, all had defied Jebuchus and mocked his people; they were beginning the eruptions of these governments had been brought to a tragic and deplorable end. A similar fate awaits the nations of today, who fail to profit by the lessons taught by the four great universal monarchies. Mother Zion Church A large congregation assembled at Mother Zion Church, Sunday morning, February 22.

Rev, Mr. Holder gave an instructive practical lesson on "There Art's Thought at the evening service. The attendance was good. Dr. Lawton, the pastor, will preach this coming Sunday morning on "Where put How, to Find Christ." The Rev. T. A. Cooper evangelist of Washington, D. C., will conduct the evening service and gospel songs are a feature of the service. Newman Memorial Church The services at Newman Memorial M. E. Church were well attended on Sunday, February 22. Rev. T. W. Cooper, though not feeling well, preached an interesting sermon from the text taken from Isaiah 68, "Whoso shall I send and who will, go for us?" God is calling for men and women to go for Him into the barren fields of sin and rescue the lost and straining sheep and bring them back to the fold, like Queen Cooper. Every question, like Isaiah, should answer quickly, here am I Lord, send me. The superintendent of the Sunday school was delighted by the large attendance of children at the Sunday school hour. At 3.30, Pastor Cooper led the thour to the Ralph Avenue 'A. M. E. Zion Church and conducted a service for one of the organizations of' that church. O'clock, Rev. Dr, J. R. Brown the district superintendent of the New York District, preached a stirring sermon to almost a full church. His subject was in the form of a question "What is a Christian?" His text was taken from 2 Corinthians 3:16, where he be- in Christ his new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things become new." The preacher held the audience spellbound while he carried them step by step through an analytic description of a definite conclusion that one may be able to reach in their endeavor to answer the question. What must they first of all they must believe that all things are of God They must know and believe that there is a God and that God was in Christ, reclaiming the world to Himself They must believe and know that Christ is theirs to the extent they can say, like you, that Christ in him does the work He Jesus said to Necumesis "Ye must he horn again." Dr. Brown held the last quarterly conference at Newman for this conference year. All Reports showed continued improvement in the development of the work on Ocean All are looking for greater things at hand with the hoped for success of Rev Cooper to the pastorate by the next annual conference on April 1. Bethany Baptist Church We are grateful to say that there is a continual increase in the attendance of the services of Bethany, both of membership and visitors. This, we may say, is due to the inspiration of the services, the friendly that that manifested through the church, and the hospitality and welcome shown to As usual services at Bethany last Sunday, were wonderful. Dr Kirmichael I Warren, pastor, preached to a large congregation at the 11 o'clock services, from Matthew 10:32. This sermon was full of thought and met the needs of the occasion, the congregation seemed to have had receptive and responsive hearts. The 7.30 p.m. services were very good also, and well attended. Our pastor preached a sermon, an instructive sermon at this service. We regret that there were no more present to hear it. We the public to come and meet Bethany's choir. It is by means, sleep, but is keeping apace with the services and is receiving many "Amens" from the congregation. Nazarene Cong. Church Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor returned to the city in time to fill his pulpit Sunday. During his visit South he reached Nashville, Cincinnati and Atlanta, where he was pastor many years ago. Dad's received by gold parishioners today. Lead of his successor R. S. Brown, paid him many courtesies during his short stay. A large audience greeted the pastor at the morning hour to hear his sermon on "Priceless Pearls: Taking as his text the humble hushie, making pearls at the bottom of the sea by transforming the incoming parasite, he showed how the genius of the sea transformed the things that irritated him at the pearls of true virtue. At the evening time another large audience greeted the pastor, who told in his preface of the general situation at Fisk University which the committee of which he was a member endeavored to ameliorate. The Greater Fisk Committee heard evidence from various viewpoints and was reasoned to make up the information and recommendations to the Board of Trustees in whom to test the authority of the university. He held that the outlook was good for a favorable adjustment of the difficulty. In his sermon on the conversation of Peter he held that there were three steps in the conversion of the man to which the Christian Church owes so much. These were the calls to friendship to come and love, the call to discipleship to stay and learn and that to apostleship to go and serve. Members from the Boy Scouts were special guests of the occasion. The reception to Dr. and Mrs. Procton on Tuesday evening was largely attended by the members and friends of the church in honor of their fifth anniversary as pastor. Much appreciated tokens were given the pastor and his wife J. H. Hubert presided, and addresses of inspiration were made by the number of the members of the church representing various departments of the church (B. H. Hubert) to respond in all. Retirements were received to all. The occasion was presented by B. B. Gales, representing the Board of Deacons, and Miss Annette THE material contrast between the structures with which **Booker T. Washburn** (washington) and the present great, simple and commensal-plant structure contrasts with the present satisfactory and announcing this is it, but an important measure or joy of life. The contrast is turning out of two or three hundred young men and women for life unless they are selves and their families is of course a most commensal and helpful work. The contrast is that of a woman for life was to radiate from a center like Tuxpee the light of the home, but ever living truth which must form the basis of real advance for his race, or for life—WILLIAM HOWARD TAPT, Chief-Judge United States Supreme Court.

New members will be received and the scrier administered. Fleet St. Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church "The Enduring Word" was the theme of Rev. Brown's discourse Sunday morning. He spoke to an exceedingly large and responsive audience. The sermon was well prepared and ably delivered as usual. The crowning work of the day was the late Joseph C. Price, Dr. Brown was orator for the occasion, held under the auspices of the Sons of North Carolina and the Ladies Auxiliary, with the church cooperating. His address covered the life and work of the late Dr Price as minister, orator and educator. It was a pleasing quote to the memory of one of Zion's bible, the Echo. The choir rendered very effectively "Suffer Little Children to Come Into Me," other special selections were solos by Miss Luceille Brown and Robert G. Sawyer, An "Ode to Dr. Price" was read by Miss Alice Owens written by "Jack Thorne," author of books on the race. Others who took part in the celebration were D. B. Wilson (the celebrant) and N. Johnson, master of ceremonies, John H. Dickerson and W. H. Banks, president of the society. A large number of members of the Sunday school attended the funeral service over the remains of the late John A. Church at the late Church on Monday. The deceased counted many friends among the members of the church and school. St. Philip's Church B'klyn The dawn of the great Lenten season is having its effect on the attendance and enthusiasm of St. Philip's people. To a well crowded church, rector Boyd delivered a great message last Sunday morning, taking as his subject, "Holy Ground." In the "he passett hy" in which he made the people the real meaning of Lent. Supt. Findlay had the unique experience last Sunday of holding 160 children spell bound as he taught during the whole lesson period, calling on class after class. The Girls Friendly Societys session of the lycum was well prepared and effectively rendered. Dr. Spurgeon, and effect Boyd delivered brief addresses on Washington. The one dealt with his boyhood and the other with his manhood. The pre-lenten social evening last Monday was a most desired success. The spendid supply of music rolls, and our fine player piano, added greatly to the sociability of the evening. Much credit is due to Messrs Guttens, Trice, Walley, Patton, Davis, Boyd, Lloyd, and others for the tasty management by which all had a fine social evening and the committee cleared a goodly sum for there work. This closed all the social activities of St. hilips until the great post-lenten to which Brooklyn looke with pride. The Fish Club's 2nd Annual Reception The Fish Club, Inc., gave their second annual reception at Manhattan Casino, Friday night, February 20. A large crowd was out and enjoyed a delightful evening.

Hyacinth Social Club At Monthly Meeting Objects To Burlesque of Reception The members of the Hyacinth Social Club were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. James H. Hogans at their monthly meeting and assembly, which was held on Wednesday evening, February 18, at 216 Fifth avenue. This was the first gathering of the members since their reception in January, and there were some interesting developments. Aside from the business transactions which took place, the delicious repeat which was served by the hostess, and the lively dance music which was dispensed by Mr. McCarthy, enthused the thing that came in for considerable comment among the members was the publicity which the recent reception of the club received through the press. It was the contents of those present that the description of the affair, as published in The New York Age, and several other. Negro newspapers, was of an accurate and appreciative nature, but unaware of the event which appeared in a Sunday daily. The members charged that the writer of the article, who was a guest, and whose articles are usually in good, taste and dignity in chroncing the dooms of colored people, had deserved to what they characterized as burlesque in reporting the features of their last reception at the meeting were Mr and Mrs F S Grant, Mr and Mrs H M Winslow, Mr and Mrs J.

Two months ago the drill floor of the 369th Infantry Armory was opened to the public for use as tennis courts: Members of the regiment went to the expense and trouble of marking off nine tennis courts on the floor. Since that time the courts have been used quite regularly, but mostly by people from other sections of the city. An observer wonders where all the players from the Ideal Club and other tennis organizations go in the winter. Mrs. Lottie Wade, New York State champion, and several of her friends are seen on these courts more frequently than any of the local players but even she does not seem to find the time to come out very often. Why not arrange an indoor tournament among local players to arouse interest in these courts? Then, too, novices should be encouraged to learn the game. Tennis is a good game for all round exercise and people who have no ambition to become champion could well afford to go in for this sport for the exercise it affords. Let's have more activity from the tennis organizations in Harlem.

Defeats Panama Champion At Rink A. C. Al Brown. Defeats Panama Champion At Rink A. C. Al Brown, the popular Harlem flyweight, made good in his first invasion of foreign soil, last Thursday night, February 19, by defeating Dayey Abada, the Panamachampion, in the feature bout at the Rink Club, Brooklyn. The bout was six rounds, and Brown did far better, considering he fact that it was his first appearance away from Manhattan, than his followers had hoped for. He proved a revelation in punching and boxing and Abada's future efforts to land effectively gave the Brooklyn fans quite a laugh. According to Al's manager, Eddie McMahon, he will be doing quite some boxing out-of-town in the next few months, meeting all conners in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston and other large cities. He is hoping to be well on his way toward a crash at the world's or American flyweight title by the time the outdoor season opens. At Lincoln Theatre Her husband had warned her not to see the other man again on pain of death so she invited him to dinner! What happened when, just as the silent oriental servant announced that dinner was served the form of the husband was seen advancing through the barn boo and lotus trees of the mysterious old Chinese garden! This situation is one of the most dramatic in Poa Negra's latest warring picture for Paramount "East of Suez," a Raoul Walsh product on which opens on Thursday at the Lincoln Theatre. Written by Sonneret Mangham, the story contains the breath and spirit of the Orient and the reaction of the white people who become involved in the intrigues of a powerful Chinese soldier. Leaured in support of Poa Negra are Edmund Lowe, Rekhile Lell, and Noah Beery. Others in the cast are I. H. Crawford, M. Wong Wong, I. L.

The scythic continues to know, but its blade lacks the keenness of earlier games this season. Hampton defeated Agricultural and Technical College of Greensboro, February 25, missing enough shots to have tripled the score and showing a complete lack of the co-ordinated teamplay which was characteristic earlier this season. The final score was 29 to 11. The game, however, was interesting. A. and T. helped to keep the score small by the fine guarding offered; and the snappy passing displayed kept Hampton on the run constantly. There were moments throughout the game, nevertheless, that were as thrilling and spectacular as any seen on the Hampton Institute gymnasium, court this season. Repeatedly the guards of the visitors would make a pass the length of the floor to a forward cutting in under the basket, but it was seldom that any field goals materialized from these threats. Again, the visitors would begin an advance, using the short pass, and a flambard, *Michaels*, thorne, or some other *Sander* would swoop down upon the player who was in possession of the ball, take it, or, occasionally take a goal but not frequently lose it through search zones or an infraction of some kind. When in the Sasaki players did he go on a scoring rally that did not stop until four or five points had been tallied or before a flash of their talent able to hold on to the surface. With both teams shooting right and left, McNabol counted twice from the front line and Hampton was ahead, the score 2-0. Norman gave implicated in the free throw was and for five minutes Hampton used shots some 60 lbs. Morrison 20 ap St. Nathaniel 10. The Bramwijk Hill 10.

Wibecan won both the 100 and 220 yard dashes against a strong field. The 220 yard race was for the Metropolitan senior championship and the colored runner covered the distance in 25 seconds flat. Wihecman ran a pretty race, taking the lead from the start and winning handily. In the 100 yard dash he was pressed to the limit and won by inches over Robert Weise. His time for this event was 10 3-5 seconds. Phil Granville, former A. A. U. Champion for the 1 mile walk, competed against Willie Plant, present champion in the two-mile walk event. Both men started from scratch and Granville stuck to the champion for four laps and then began falling back. He managed to finish second about 50 yards behind the winner, but the judges came to the conclusion that in a manner that brought forth groans of dismay from the supporters who are pulling for Hampton to be at Morehouse College on Saturday, the 28th After eight minutes had passed in the first half Brown scored a free shot for Hampton and the trc. With the score 3-2 in her favor, Hampton slowly added to the total and at half time four other points contributed by McNichols, four by Alexander, a substitute, and two points scored on a field goal by Captain Chester Jones accounted for Hampton's 13 points. During the same time J. Lane had garnered two free throws to give A. and T. a total of 4 at half time. After the traditional "riot act" Hampton came back strong in the second half. Lambright opened with a field goal, and Thorne followed with a well-made shot. Both teams began to find the elusive iron hoop in the final frame.

White Chicago Singers In Operatic Recital Presenting "Aida" And "Rigoletto" Excerpts Effectively; Good Audience Some time ago I learned, that a group of Chicago singers were present excerpts from grand opera in that city and I asked for information as to the success, artistically, attending the production. This information is now at hand. The performance was on Thursday evening, February 10, at Beverly Baptist Church, of which the Rev. E. T. Martin, is pastor, and is under auspices of Bethesda Circle, Mrs. Elizabeth Brant, president. A interesting feature of the performance was that the women singers, Florence Cole, Talbert, soprano, and Emma Duckworth, were appearing with Italian male singers, and the result caused the captious criticisms of prejudiced observers that colored and white singers could not blend harmoniously in grand productions. And another interesting fact was disposed—founding the apparent advantage of experience, musical en- tended supposed superior training, the work of the Italian singers no more commendable or enjoyable than that of the casion, selections from two operas were given. The was from Verdi's "Aida," the characters represent the Ethiopian Slave" (by Mrs. Talbert), and "Amoo Ethiopia," father of "Aida," captured in battle by the liner, "Rhadames," who loves and is loved by "Aida." on the banks of the Nile, and portrays the persuading her father to induce "Rhadames" to become a traitor The king's role was sung by Eusebio Concialdi, the singers. of the opera was read by Mrs. Olivia Bush-Banks, singers gave the two numbers, "Aida's" song, the romanza, ("My Native Land"), and the duet, "Ciel' mio pa-ma-ny Father"). offering was also from a Verdi opera, the tuneful long the one chosen. Excerpts from Act I scene 2 2 and Act III scene 1, gave the singers ample scope the ability, both in solo and ensemble. The indi- vence were the recitative and duet, between "Gilda" (iano) and her father, "Rigoloetto" (Mr. Concialdi, a father's curse on me" and "My Father, thou titative and duetbetween "Gilda" and "The Duke on Amoureux, tenor"); and the recitative and "Lydia" from Act I, scene 2. from Act II furnished the denunciation song, zuza dannata" ("Vile Race of Courtiers") by te le feste' al tempio" ("On every festal morning") the duet, "Piangi fancuilla" ("Weep, My Child") and "Lydia." ferring was from Act III, scene I, opening with the active and Canzone sung by "Rigoletto", "Gilda" and aria, "La donna e mobile" (Woman is changeable) and the popular, eververdant favorite quartet, "Belmore" ("Fairest Daughter of the Graces"), rendered the "Duke," "Rigoletto" and "Maddalena" (Mme. north, contralto).

E, Gilbert Anderson And Renaissance Combination On Friday, February 20, 1925, E. GILBERT ANDERSON was 51 years in existence. This, of course, means that on February 20, 1874, in Still Pond, Kent County, Maryland, a boy, child was born to be a real honest-to-gooodness CONDUCTOR of MUSICIANS. Friday is also the weekly rehearsal day of the RENAISANCE, THEATRE COMBINATION, under the personal direction of E. GILBERT ANDERSON - But, however, on Friday, February 20, 1925, after regular rehearsal, the day was punctuated at 4 P. M., SHARP the dinner with E.

GILBERT ANDERSON and DEACON JOHNSON made up the party. Better and real tangible support in the first plaqueed to E GILBERT ANDERSON as it came to light that the bulk of the monetary consideration for the augmented combination of each Sunday evening, performance fell from the pocket-book of E. GILBERT ANDERSON. A proposal by FELIX WEIP, emphasizing by LEONARD JETER, suggesting that each member of the regular combination pay two dallors weekly to a fund designed to relieve CONDUCTOR ANDERSON, of the pocket weight, as the weight of promoting and producing the combination was quite heavy enough. The MUSICIANS acknowledged that they owe E. GILBERT ANDERSON for his ability and experience and that they are real glad to pay him by coming to rehearsal on time when called to present under his CONDUCTOR SHIP and continue to prepare them now, bigger and better BUSINESS. Now, there are two statements, yes, pledge in right direction, and we are led to believe that they will be kept, and what is more; they are an contradiction to the too family-friendly MUSICIANS WILL NOT BE HEARSE and WILL NOT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION AND be use of these contradictions you can look forward to something doing.

All that is needed are five-110-poundless lamps connected in parallel. There are two leads to the battery. One lead is direct from the electric light circuit, the other is from the charging board. The latter may be ascertained by placing the two leads in a solution of salt and water. Then the current is turned on, and the terminal from which the most bubbles emanate is the negative. This is a very dependable test. Sometimes the storage battery will Michigan C. Brown Addresses Coachmen's Union League Society At a recent meeting of the Coachmen's Union League Society their hall, 252 West 138th street. Theodore B. Smith, President of the society, presided. Michigan C. Brown, clerk in the 7th District Municipal Court was invited to address the meeting to which speech J. Daimus Steele, Exalted Ruler of the unantithetan Lodge of Elks, responded in a few words of appreciation in behalf of the officers and members. Mr. Brown said in part "Mr. President and members of the Coachman's Union League Society, in this building which you have set apart as your home you have at once a monument and a prophecy. A monument because it is a memorial to the efforts of the pioneers of this society who by honoring and struggling do something for posterity prophecy because it a prediction that other societies will emulate the Coachman's Union League Society and secure a permanent home for their future membership. Mr. Brown concluded by reading the following tribute to the immortal Abraham Lincoln "One hundred and sixteen years ago, according to the vague records of the event, Abraham Lincoln was born a child of the southern wilderness, he was brought in an environment of loniness, sorrow and privation. His heart bled from early youth until under the weeping skies of a sad April morning in '65, it was drained of its last crimson drop. The joys of the world never knew him, to happiness he was a stranger, life's burdens clung to him with ever-increasing weight until death struck them from his tired shoulders. The great duties that came to him were duties of pain and sorrow, the triumphs he won were triumphs that crushed his soul with grief. Looking back upon his strange career at almost seems as at the man stalked across the stage of life with a crown of thorns upon his brow, bearing a cross to his Calvary, beholding the world through a mist of tears. He loved his country unelishly, and he served it nobly and with unfaltering faith. His spirit knew neither malice nor hatred; no impulse of vengeance ever sought refuge in his bosom. He was gentle of speech, sympathetic, charitable, compassionate, patient, tender brave Design made him the broken-hearted commander in chief of all the embattled Nation turned against his native South, duty drove him through the tragic ordale and at the end fate struck him down and left even his estranged kinsmen and left dumb above his prostitute form. His destiny allowed no counterpart of Abraham Lincoln. On the soul and mind, as well as in the painful career that led marked out for him the world has had no other like him among all its sons who have led mankind from Laden to the present time. The pardons in time may sink beneath the desert sands, the temples of the earth crumble in the dust of ages, the fame of the Caesar's vanish in the darkness of addition, but surely as long as the familiar figure of the many sad-smile, agony, silent, silent, agony written in the lines of his kindly face and love glowing in his wistful eyes—the saddest, gentlest, and most pathetic figure in all human history. Women's Auxiliary of 369th Inf. Hold Mem. Services for Miss Susan Elizabeth Fraizer On February 12 a memorial service was held in honor of the late Mrs Susan Elizabeth Reiser, by the Red Cross Unit of the 80th Infantry Women's Auxiliary. The services were held at the headquarters 58 W. 10th street, and were presided over by Mrs Jerolyn Winfield, director, and Mrs Rust, president told of the suspended week done by Miss Frazer while she was president of the auxiliary. A number of the other members made remembrance. The Red Cross Unit was recently reorganized with Mrs Winfield as director, Mrs Amanda Stewart, chairman of the Home Service Department; Mrs Anna Hurt, chairman of the Production Department, Mrs Spo, chairman of Emergency Cnet, Mrs Hawkins, chairman of Loan Classes, and Mrs B B Scott, chairman of Thrift Shops. fully does a charging rate of more than five amperes. Should this be done all that is necessary to be done is the addition of as many amps as the battery requires. A single lamp is equal to two amperes, two lamps to two amperes each. A word of warning might not be amiss here. Don't charge your battery at too high a rate. To charge the battery at six amperes an hour is plenty high enough. To charge the battery at eight amperes a chance at running the battery. More capacies can for a charging rate of from low to six amperes an hour. It is safer to charge the battery at a lower rate, so that a good charge will be assured. A Mechanical Rectifier Where the electric current is an alternating one, a mechanical rectifier must be used to recharged the battery. This instrument is used to transform the alternating current into a direct one. One type of rectifier is a bulb filled with some inert gas, such as argon and containing a hot and cold electrode. Hinta The battery should be well taken care of. Distilled water should be added when the level of the electrolyte drops below the top of the plates. If the level of the electrolyte is below that of the plates when the battery is ready to be charged, distilled water should be added before the battery is to be charged. The battery should be tested frequently so that it will not become too rundown. County Official Serves As Installing Officer For Chas. Young Post, A. L.

Theodore Roosevelt And Alderman Jno. W. Smith Speak at Community Forum Col. Theodore Rosewell, Attorney W. Justin Carter, and Alderman John W. William Smith, were the principal speakers as the first public meeting of the community forum, fecally sponsored by members of Mt. Calvary Methodist Metholst Church. The meeting was at Manhattan Casino on Sunday afternoon, February 22, and was attended by about 400 people. Col. Rosseysett, who was introduced by George W. Harris, spoke on Americanism in connection with the life of George Washington. He said that great as were Washington's achievements as a soldier, his greatest work came after the close of the Revolutionary War in helping to establish this country as a democracy, so that all its citizens would have the rights and privileges of citizenship. He losing his address he said that he hoped the forced people would share more largely as citizens in the responsibilities of government in the future than they had been permitted to in the past. And that he also hoped they would deserve these rights and privileges in the future as they had in the past. There seemed to have been some misunderstanding among those in charge at the purpose of the meeting. According to the presiding officer, Dr. Charles Hulme, the meeting was to discuss condition of Harlem and how they might be improved. He enumerated some of the things which though needed changing, including more parks public play grounds and better conditions at Harlem Hospital. Then Alderman Smith, as the representative of Acting Mayer William T. Collins, told the audience that the citizens of this section already had some of the things they complained they wanted that other improvements could be secured by going about getting them in the right way. One complaint was against landlords for the unsanitary conditions of the apartment house. "The remedy for this condition, said the Alderman, is in the hands of the tenants." a complaint to the courts will be violations of the law." He concluded his address by urging more cooperation between the citizens and the public officials. This speech of Alderman Smith seemed to put an end to the discussion of Harlem conditions. Col. Roosevelt was the next speaker and he was followed by Miss Belle Davis, who told something of the work of The Circle for Negro Relief, of which she is executive secretary. The best address o f the program was by Attorney W. Justin Carter of Harburg, Pa. who is also president of the Alumni Association of Howard University. Attorney Carter delivered an oration on Frederick Dougherty's birthday was the previous week. Fortunately, however, he was made last on the program and many of the people left after the collection was taken by the official's of Mt. Calvary Church under leadership of the Rev. A. C. Garner pastor of Grace Congregational Church. Mr. Carter was eloquent in describing the life of Douglas and telling of his achievement as an orator and agitator in this country and abroad. Because Douglas's residence in this state, he should be especially proud to honor his memory of this great leader, who he characterized as the greatest Negro America has produced. Special music for the occasion was rendered by the Mt. Calvary chorus, under the direction of Leon Adger, organist choirmaster. There was also a violin by the composer of the soprano solo by Miss Corneia Dickson, and several selections by individual members of the chorus. M. D.

Education Will Solve Negro Problem, Says White Brooklyn Pastor The Negro problem is exclusively a problem of the United States, it was declared by Dr. Leon Land, minister of the United Church of Brooklyn, at the Bushwick Forum meeting held last Sunday afternoon at the Ridgewood Matonic Temple, 1054 Bushwick Park. Dr. Land said that segregation is no solution of the problem. He suggested education through social contact, through schools and through progress in religious and progressive industrial efforts. In speaking of the present treatment of the Negro, he declared: "We condemn the Negro for lack of culture and at the same time we prevent him from taking advantage of our cultural development." Since scientists maintain, he said, that there is no such thing as instinctive racial animosity about that antagonism is artificial training and is therefore artificial and eradicable, there is hope for the final satisfactory settlement of the question. Founder Of Sparta School Seeks Funds In New York Linton S. Ingraham of Sparta, Ga., who founded the Sparta Agricultural and Industrial Institute fourteen years ago, is in New York seeking funds for further development and expansion of that work. The school was started by the purpose of three acres of the plantation here Mr. Ingraham's father had worked as a slave.

The severe winter weather has grown monotonous; the slushy, wet streets and dirty little piles of snow are hard to look upon longer with philosophy and overshoes are our most distasteful possessions. Spring seems much farther away than in Dec. and January, and in hope it must look as if we might be a little more fortunate with our weather this year as the Sun is shining gloriously now. Even so, the girl who works in office, store or factory usually finds herself, at a very low cub physically this time of the year. She is tired from the strain of winter and beginning already to feel the latitude of Spring. To feel the latitude of gripe, which may this year be pecuniary, some precaution should be taken during the next few months. Proper exercise, combined with wholesome food and sufficient sleep, in a well ventilated room, will go a long way towards avoiding illness. Our Health Education Department offers expert advice along these lines and a proper course of exercise for each individual. The Tuesday night gym class offers a splendid general course and the pool is, as ever, unfailing its resources for health and pleasure. A swim in the shimmering blue water makes one forget that she is not at Palm Beach! Detailed information concerning the work of the Health Department may be secured at the information desk in the lobby. And before we leave the pool of the Leader's Recreation Course which is extremely popular, it is beneficial, too, not only for the things learned, but also for the exercise gotten in the learning of them! The class meets each Thursday night from 8:45 to 10, and there is still room for few registrations. The Membership Rally will close with a reception to members—new and old—on Tuesday, March 3 All members are cordially invited to attend. H.
