In another case, the premises on which had been located the alleged hooch business were now occupied by a printing plant. In both these cases the owner was disepidined. Thus the three cases on which the firm was marked ready for that next week. The list includes some of the best known places in the city, both up and down town, and the federal prosecutor's office is confident that tangible results are going to be gotten. The case of the hooch business is much of the congestion which has brought defeat of justice in many cases through the necessary and unfortunate delay ensuing. 7th Avenue Is Infested Seventh avenue however, continues to be infested with its gang of predatory and bold hooch operators. The case with which identities are hidden and the consequent difficulty in placing the real ownership has caused some delay and trouble in carrying the cases through. This evidently has served to embolden the bootleggers, for in some instances they are broadening their activities instead of curbing them. One instance 6 this is seen in the joint at 2243 Seventh avenue, corner 132nd street. The place has recently been remodeled and renovated, and made into a very attractive and alluring resort. It has given the public in every way of the pre-Volstead saloon. The store has been divided and the hooch joint removed (Continued on Second Page) more resigned and was succeeded by Mrs. S. J.

There are sixty-five pupils enrolled in the school, and new classes are received in January and September. The New York State Department of Education has registered the school and its graduates are eligible to become registered nurses.

Because no recognition was shown the Negro ex-soldiers who played a conspicuous part in the career of Gen. John J. Pershing by the American Legion officials who arranged the mammoth testimonial in honor of the former Commander in Chief of the U. S. Army at the Hippodrome on Saturday night, April 25, officers of the Charles Young. Post, 398, American Legion, have directed strong inquiries to national, state and county officers of the Legion asking for an explanation. Gen. Pershing's rise as an army officer is said to have been based upon his service as a captain (when he was effectually called "Black Jack") with the 10th Galvary, one of the black regiments of the army. And when he had arisen to the chief command of the whole army as head of the American Legion, he was forced to part in the carrying, out of his plans for the successful promotion of America's part in World War was due to the splendid service rendered by the black troops from America. And it is also pointed out that the smooth working of Gen. Pershing's personal staff operations was due largely to the efficiency of a Negro cap. NEGRO INSURANCE COMPANY FURNISHED BY N. Y. N. J. MEN H. H. Pace and Associates In New Old Line Legal Reserve Life Ins. Co. H. H. Pace and Associates In New Old Line Legal Reserve Life Ins. Co. for the first time in the eastern section of this country, colored men have organized and financed the incorporation of an old line legal resilive life insurance company. This eventuated on Monday, April 27 with the tenors of New Jersey and New York, the dependent of Insurance at Trenton of the Northeastern Life Insurance Co. with headquarters at Newark, N. J. Temporary offices are located at 629 Communipaw avenue, Jersey City, and at 2289 Seventh avenue, New York City. The being about of this development is due to the efforts of Hagry H. Hace, formerly of the Standard Life Insurance Co., Atlanta, Ga., and later of the Jackson State Reserve. This office is among the men contributing most largely to the consummation of the company's plans are Louis C. Bulloch, James H Bulloch, J W Roberson and Chas J Hilton, all of Jersey City; T A Dickson, J P Quander Jr H Adolph Howell, Dr O M Waller, Dr F M. Jacobs, Wm W Hortham, Dr P M Murray, George C Barnett and George F Haynes, all of New York City; John P Dykes of Atlantic City, Michael M. Harper of L昂 Lambridge, Elwisworth Mercer and W H. Booker of Wilmington, together with hundreds of subscribers in all sections of the country. Financed In 12 Months The company's charter was filed in the New Jersey Insurance Department on April 28, 1924, and the State stipulated that the $100,000 capitalization of the company must be completed within one year, and a deposit made for protection of policyholders. This was the shortest period of time any state had to pay for insurance from a similar company among Nexroes, but Mr. Pace and his associates paid in $100,000, submitted to the rigid examination required by the State, paid to the State Treasury the required deposit to protect policyholders and was granted State license, all within the stipulated period. Officers of the faction that every dollar of this money was paid in by individuals tain who served as one of the staff intelligence officers, who possesses a thorough knowledge of the French language, written and spoken. Since the Negro soldier was so intimately associated with Gen. Perlingh's career, and since one of the strongest of the American Legion Posts in New York City is the Col. Charles Young Post, composed entirely of Negro ex-service, men, it was a disagreeable discovery to find that in the elaborate testimonial tribute prepared for their former commander in chief, by the American Legion there was no place made for the black soldier's representative. Strong telegrams of protest, with a request for information as to why the Negro legionnaire was neglected, were addressed by M. V. Boutte, commander of the Chas. Young Post, to James A. Drain, national commander; Samuel E. Aronowitz, state commander; Robert G. Glennon, chairman of, to Glennon Chairman, chairman of the press and program arrangements committees, and one of the general stage directors. Officers and members of Col. Charles Young Post are awaiting replies to these telegraphic communications. Reports come to the Age during the past week are to the effect that confidence men, who prey upon the gullible, are again operating around 14th hour and 11th hour in the security of the Colts, State Farm Office. They have several different kinds of games which they work, the most common being the pocketbook game. On Saturday afternoon, April 25, a prominent musician was indicted to borrow $236 from friends after several of these people had gotten his confidence, and the sure of quick profits in buying foreign money. A high-powered motor car and a lavish display of money made them appear extremely prosperous to the gullible musician. But after turning over the $236 they disappeared and no word has been heard from the. since. The gate was reported to the police of the 16th Precinct of the race, none being received from banks or corporation which are usually the backbone of race financial effort. It is asserted by Mr. Pace, in this connection, that appeals made to race banking and financial institutions were frustless. Many did not even reply to letters addressed to them, others refused outright, and others deemed the possibility of putting over such sums in a cessation of the effort. So difficult was the task, say officials, that a large amount of the required sum was not raised unil within the last two weeks of the campaign. The activity of Mr. Pace in the organization of the Northeastern Life Insurance Co. recalls the fact that he was associated with Hennan Perry in the organization of the Standard Life Insurance Co. Atlanta, and served as its secretary. His resignation from that company followed a disagreement with the Perry policy, is alleged, and officers of the company are pointing to recent abatement of the polished life by white financiers as proof of the soundness of Pace's opposition to Perry's policies. Issuing of policies is scheduled for an early date and it is planned to establish branch offices in a number of the larger Eastern cities. Bishop W. T.

The case was called in the Seventh District Court on April 20, before Judge Friedlander and a jury. The judge made an attempt to have the case settled without a trial, but the attorneys, Francis E. Rivers for the plaintiff, and Bodner for the defendant, failed to reach an agreement. Returning to the court room, following the conference, Judge Friedlander found Harry Grohman, president of the realty company, talking to one of the attorneys, who said Grohman was disclosing the fact that they were fellow lodge members. On request of Attorney Rivers, the judge declared a mistrial, adjourning the case to May 4, and reprimanded Grohman for his indiscreet action in appearing to tamper with the jury. --- Today there is no need for any Harlem woman to be less beautiful than their most envious acquaintance.

Reed, president. Long before the show sarted luxurious limousines and taxis moved in a never ending stream depositing beautifully gowned women and correctly garbed men at the entrance to the hall. Every box for the affair had been sold weeks ahead. The reserved seats which took up much of the space of the lower dancing floor, filled rapidly, and by the time William H. Holland, announcer, as "Fashion's Proclamation," gave his greeting to the audience, welcome all to "Utopia's 1925 Fashion Carnival," at about ten o'clock, every seat in the large auditorium was taken with many standing.

Thorpe, president, gave a pleasing start to the program which the aftermath moved rapidly and without a hitch. Grouped on the stage was a tableau portraying the Spanish Court of Queen Isabelle, with richly attired models in the fashions of that day, and this scene was further embellished with a beautifully executed Spanish dance by a bevy of young girls under the able direction of Miss Amanda Kemp. A Russian character dance by Clarence Yates was well received, and was followed by a tableau of Columbus discovering America in 1492, with Philip Straus as Columbus, and Philip Reed as the Indians. A group of children in Ivory dance featured Bonnie Clark, female impersonator, who held the audience spell-bound with an "Indian interpretation," and later a Spanish dance, when he surprised it by distracting his wig and revealing himself as a man. A revue of the styles from 1500 to 1800 was portrayed in a pleasing "Mimuet" by girls from the Pirette and Debutante Clubs, including Emma and Lillian Moly so, Marion Moore, Francis Anderson, Margare White, Daisy White, Ivy Nuner, Garmen Nuenz and Blanche L.

With the appearance of a constant procession of beautiful women, wearing gowns or coats soft under the warm attentive a la mode, the male portion of the audience lost itself in wonder, love and praise, while the women gathered pointers for future use, when their own clever fingers will concoct similar pretty things for themselves. Charming neglegues, including a pajama suit of black and orange, powder blue tea gown, boudour gown of peach chiffon, morning dresses and sports clothes, vied with each other for attention. Children's morning and party dresses were paraded by dainty little youngsters with all the grace of age, with much delighted comment.

Va.—The College Alumnae Club of Kanawa County launched their Go-to-College Drive in the new auditorium at Collegegiat Institute before the students, teachers and Friends. The occasion was climaxed by interesting addresses delivered by Mrs. Sarah Merlweather Nutter, founder of the College Alumnae Club of Kanawa County, Stewart and Mrs. E. L. Powell. The club is composed of college graduates from different parts of the country now residing in Kanawa County. Mrs. Nutter interestingly traced the desires of one from his status of a pupil to that of a scholar, citing the achievements of then and women of mark of our race, emphasizing the fact that these persons had more than a desire to learn, but a definite idea as to his life work. As an instance of determination Mrs. Nutter called attention to T. Washington of Tumwater to the uniting efforts of Booker T. Washington, when that institution started as a shanty with thirty pupils and one teachers to 75 buildings, over 2,000 pupils and over two hundred teachers. In the course of her remarks Mrs. Nutter cited the achievements of another slave who rose into prominence in the person of Fannie Jackson Coppin, one of the first colored women to graduate from a recognize college in the United States. As a closing admonition to those students Persian Ali Hafed, an appropriate story was told to the audience. Persian Ali Hafed, who wandered far from his own farm in quest of treasure, when in fact he had already millions in diamonds on his own farm. Miss Harriet Stewart, another speaker of the evening, stressed the value of a college education from the standpoint of self-reliance, honor and womanliness.

It is hard to measure) the cost of veneral diseases in money. It is even more difficult to animate ideas of the damage they do when the damage is to be defined in terms of individual and national health. In a previous article of this series, it was said that the money cost of veneral diseases for six years ending with 1924 amounted to a minimum charge of $25 for every man, women and child in the country. Any attempt to explain the cost in health, however, is hampered by the absence of such definite units of measurement as the recognized values represented by dollars and cents. And yet it may safely be said that injury to health is the worst effect of syphilis, gonorrhea and chancroid, for it is from this ill-hit health that the economic burdens of these diseases largely arise. We have noticed that the money cost of veneral diseases falls without favor upon the sick and the well, the rich 'and the poor, he innocent and the guilty. So, too, do Syphilis and gonorrhea take 'their (toll in health from all who become affected and who, through ignorance or fool-hardy bravado, neglect to put themselves under the care of a competent doctor, on official public clinic. In all cases veneral diseases will kill the way for physical degeneration and suffering, unless they are promptly checked by extended treatment under reptuatable medical or clinical care. The old notion that gonorrhea is no worse that a bad cold has been routed by an onslaughter of facts. Gonorrhea may cause blindness or it may lead to gonorrheal rheumatism, which in turn may cause heart disease. Dr. John H. Stokes of the Mayo Clinic is responsible for the statement that one-third of the blindness in asylums, and one-half of the blindness dating from birth, is due to gonorrhea of the eye. An analysis of the incidence of Delphine Institute for Blind shows 1,020 cases of blindness admitted to the school in 30 years. Out of this total, 267 cases, or 26 per cent, were due to gonorrheal infection. It has been estimated that there are at least 20,000 cases of blindness from this cause in the United States. The tragedy of it all is that most of these cases date from birth. Cold statistics cannot convey the immensity of the Injury. As Stokes says, "One has to see all of these little children rocking in a rallied chair, gurgling as itEdged in chair, and watch a boy gurgle about on the floor, gurgling as it feels your shoe strings, really to know in the soul of him what gonorrhea means." Much of the surgery performed on the reproductive organs of women is made necessary by gonorrhea. Often such women can never have children, and in some cases death or lifelong invalidism has been the result of such infection. The Lindiana State Board of Health says, "Gonorrhea is directly responsible for the majority of the female infections and operations on women, and for a very large percentage of all so-called female troubles. The women is usually an innocent victim of the husband's earlier indiscreations and his incomplete cure. In men, gonorrhea causes sterility, rheumatism, heart disease, bladder trouble, structure and other complications." And on the authority of Sir William Otler, "Gonorrhea is a disease of the first rank. It costs about $100,000 annually to lives, 30 to 40 per cent of all congenital blindness, chronic pelvic mischief in women, and the unhappiness of sterile marriages." So much for gonorrhea—now for syphilis. According to a phamphlet issued by one of our State Boards of health, it has been estimated that from eight to twelve per cent of all deaths are caused by syphilis. Most of these deaths are reported as stillbirths, heart diseases, apoplexy, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, insanity, disease of the arteries, all of which may be caused by the same disease. Some are inwardly caused by The port of the New York State Hospital Commission shows that at present syphilis is the most prominent definite cause of mental diseases. Another authority estimates that 15 per cent of all first admissions to hospitals for the insane are traceable to syphilis. It is asserted that syphilis is the greatest single cause of heart disease, the leading recenized killer. Syphilis is responsible for nearly one-half of all abortions, miscarriages and stillbirths, a group of syphilic women were under observation at a clinic in Tooronto, Canada. Out of 192 pregnancies of these women there were 53 miscarriages, 24 stillbirths, 42 deaths in early infancy and 36 syphilic children—a total of 155 tragedies Syphilis causes a degeneration of tissues, loathsome sores, a feeling of shame and dispendency and a sense of uncleaniness. It cripples, mams and kills innocent wives and children as well as loose living men and women. Is it any wonder that a State board of health has said that "Syphilis and gonorrhea actually cause more suffering and death than small-pox, diphtheria, infantile paralysis and tuberculosis combined". In speaking of syphilis, Dr Stokes says, "It is a master disease, the peer, and the greatest superior of tuberculosis, the greatest white superior of the range of its influence over the face of mankind present and future. There is a tissue or a structure of the body that syphilis cannot affect more than an aspect of the entire science of medicine of which it will not be encountered. No lane is so long that it may not find syphilis of mankind upon the face of the earth. The disease has changed the destiny of mankind upon the face of the earth. It should cease at this, moment to be transmitted, if effects would not disappear with two and three generations. New, indeed, of living human beings can boast an ancestry free from its remote effects. These articles have recounted the history and distribution of veneral diseases and have pointed out their cost in health and wealth. A large part of the loss occasioned by syphilis and gonorrhea is unnecessary, the cost is able and curable. In the fourth and last installment of this series, veneral disease control measures will be described and outlined. We have looked the situation in the face; now we must turn to the remedy. A. M. E.

Hooch and "Numbers" Harlem's Twin Evils (Continued from First Page) from the corner to the place next to the corner, and the place left vacant is now for rent. What was formerly a rather disreputable looking pool room has been transformed by the magic of the float legger's money into another attractive looking place for the dispensing of liquid poison, and appearances are that the proprietor is reaping his reward in the large and constant patronage he is given. There is an intimation that the attraction is entirely in the looks of the place, and that continued dalliance with the stuff that is handed out under the guise of alcoholic beverage is as dangerous and inevitable in its effect upon those who drink it as is the rankest slow poison. The "Numbers" Game And in the meantime, the "numbers" playing addicts are as assidious as ever if anything, more so, in their grim and little effort to get something for noticing—or at least, to get some of the "gray" contained in the dish set before them by the shrewd and calculating bankers and collectors who offer the enormous odds of six hundred to one to the players. The players; however seldom get a chance to share any of this luscious and tempting dish, the holders of winning "numbers" being few and far between. But so, comprehensive is the system of spreading their half, that the moment a player chances to hold a slip on which has been written the combination of numbers given to clearing Fuss balances, the news is in the act and the player, however insignificant his daily contribution to the insatiable maw of the banker, is told of the "wonderful winning." And seldom is the amount compassed within the first "century". Even though it was really only a 5 or 10 cents play that had been made, when the other credulous players hear of it it has become magnified, in some miraculous way, into at least a 50 cents play and more frequently, it has become a 100 cents play; $300, the winners on a 50 cents play, sounds more alluring to the hungry and thirsty player than would $30, accrung from a 5 cents play. Egging On The Player Then follows the natural result. The former 1, 2, 3 or 5 cents player has visions of a "hit". A number is dreamed of; a fortune teller says play such and such, a number; a street address is picked-up from some acquaintance; an attendant at church service is struck by the number of the opening or closing hymn as announced by the preacher, or by the combination of chapter and verse of the song so selected read as the lesson, and there is a removal of attention from the rite of worship and a surreptitious writing down of the number before it is forgotten; and then the collector, on his next visit, will find the former player of pennes developed into a quarter, half dollar or dollar plunger. Of course, the chance of winning are no greater than before, but the drain on the player's resources is intensive, then begins a season of intensive for the foolish player continuing sendice good money after bad in the hope of getting some of it back. It is almost always a baseless hope and one that does not fructify. A former hoothack in Harlem started from players at his hooshockey stand. ```markdown ``` and he soon found that it was a great able proposition. He accumulated a small bank roll from his pieces of collections and occasional sings of his players, and cided to gather if these busied for himself. He became a lawyer. Now, he owns and rides are a fine automobile, wears glitter and dazzling diamonds, and has a weekly gross income of approximately $10,000 a month. Dom pays out more than $15 giving him a great amount weekly gross income of approximately days when $18 weekly had the moment of a millionaire income Women Players' Headquarters The former bootblack has a skill in prosperity in the person of all the fellow who was employed as a attorney by one of the bankers, and who keen mind soon grasped the task that the banker's road was strewn with "velvet" and that there is plenty no limit to the profits, save in the number of players and the men they can be persuaded daily. He branched out for himself as apparently living in luxury as a suit. "The police, however continue their activities and are, constantly taking raids and arrests of men engaged in banking or collecting for the "tweeters" business. A raid was made on Thursday, April 23, on the car store operated at 268 West 12th street, near 8th avenue, by j. Henner dez, a Cuban, and three of Henner dez employees were arrested charged with policy playing. They were tried in the Washington Heights Court and found guilty. The fines, amounting to $140 for the three men, were paid by Herer attorney. This cigar store is alleged to have become a rendezvous for scores of women players of the "numbery" who congregate there daily between 9 and 10 o'clock every morning for the purpose of putting in their numbery jumps. The women became the women that daily passersby were stirred to curiosity and wonderment was expressed as to the reason for the early morning gering of femininity. The "numbers" banker, it is alleged, was formerly a collector for an East Side man, and his "rake-off" was sufficient to enable him to start in the banking business himself.

COLLEGE WOMEN IN 2d ANNUAL SESSION National Association Meets In Baltimore and Hears Many Fine Addresses Baltimore; Md.—The National Association of College-Women held its second annual, convention in Baltimore, April 16 and 18, inclusive. The convention opened formally on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock with a public meeting in the Y. M. C. A. building.

Brodax, Wilmington; Del., national vice-president, presided over the meeting and presided over the first of whom was the national president, Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women. Howard University; who delivered the annual address. In this interview, Dean 'Slowe gave the origin of the language and history of the National Association of College Women, stating that it was conceived by the College Alumnae. Club of Washington, D.C., for the purpose of uniting all colored college women into one association for the improvement of the education of colored women through out th United States. Lucy Messer Holmes and Mary Cromwell were largely influential in bringing about this organization, which became permanent in 1924. Tite National Association of College Women emerged from the oldest branch in Washington, and other branches located in Baltimore, Wilmington, New York City, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago Kansas City, Portsmouth, Petersburg, Va, Charleston, W Va., St Louis and Los Angeles. The Association has definite desires: first, to improve the educational conditions of Negro girls, to raise educational standards in the universities. To this end it is making a survey of the various colleges of the country in which women are trained. Such investigations are directed toward the housing, physical education, medical inspection, health, education, and training of students; toward the adequate training, compensation, and general treatment of teachers; toward dormitory, discrimination and the equality of opportunity for all girls in the Northern and Western Colleges, especially. The Association desires, further, to stimulate study in the field of research for women of intellectual attainment, and finally, to establish for itself such a reputation for doing for the development of funds for the development of President emphasized the singleness of purpose which characterized the Association, and expressed the hope that it would adhere, tenaciously to this purpose. Other speakers on the Associations program, included Charles H. Wesley, professor of history, Howard University, who gave on Friday evening a very inspiring address on the subject "A Challenge to the College Woman."

Beauty Hints By·Madam·LeBlanc Lovely hair is the beautiful, background for the face and should be kept soft and fluffy, full of life and luster and fresh-looking. Arizona can have pretty hair, if it is it is cared for properly. It is of vast importance to use the right method of shampooing. In preparation for this you should make a soap, jelly by shaving some good soap into a cup and pouring over it enough hot water to coyer it. Let stand about an hour before using it. If there is dandruff present it should be applied every few days to the scalp lightly with tips will be found beneficial. Brighing the hair not only keeps it clean, but also makes it gloss, and healthy by bringing out the natural oil of the scalp and distributing it through the hair. It is ruinous to the hair to expose it, to sunburn. Hot curling irons also work unnecessary disaster and have been worn to ruin many a beautiful head of hair.

REED Pres. Utopia Neighbour Club. The seed of delinquency in the girl ten years old in the Juvenile Court, or the girl, seventeen in the Women's Court, is usually improper home environment. A child of ten or eleven is brought before the Judge and the charge is incorrigibility, often brought about as the victim of a broken home. The girl sixteen, upwards, too old, for the Children's Court, is brought before the Judge of the Women's Day Court who promotes sentence indicting improper home environment or lack of proper social housing facilities. -Delinquency among our girls is on the increase, and will be no noticeable once until we realize the only remedy in prevention. Not prevention at any one stage of a girl's life, but emphasizing preventive measures for the child of pre-school age; the school age, and the adolescent period. It is the old adage again. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." For the child of pre-school age we need to support and strengthen our three day nurseries in Harlem: For the girl of school age, with the key around her neck and a mother working away from day care, let this unprotected child in a flat latrine be essayed to help pay the exorbitant rents, we need to have opened as soon as possible the Utopia Neighborhood "Child's Welfare and Recreation Center as a preventive measure. The, Sojourner Truth House, never should have had to be closed, for it was the only refuge for a child on school age. For the girl over texting, it is urgent for the opening of the Y. W. C. A., dormitory. When comfortable living quarters, at moderate rates, can be supplied for our young girls, and when the churches, welfare clubs and christian organizations will co-operate to bring her in contact with wholesome social companionship, and then strive as hard to attract and keep her interest as the places of vice do continually, then a great step forward will have been 'taken to eliminate' our delinquent girl problem, and the criticisms of Judge Jean Norris showing how sadly we are neglecting our own life, a great chance for the churches, welfare organizations and women's clubs to co-operate a program for practical help to make Harley a safer and better place for our girls and young women who are without the protection of their own home and family.

RAYON NEW NAME FOR PIBER SILK Rayon is the name recently adopted by the trade for what has heretofore been termed artificial or fiber silk, states the division of clothing and textiles of the Bureau of Home Economics, in reply to frequent inquiries as to whether rayon is a new textile fiber. Fiber silk was not only a misleading term but an incorrect one, since this fiber is not an imitation of silk. In fact the only characteristic of silk is that it is luster, and in this rayon excels. Rayon is manufactured from wood pulp and cotton linters by so treating them that they can be dissolved and the resulting liquid formed into small filaments. This division of what is frequently termed the "home,makers" bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture is initiating research in textiles and clothing from the standpoint of the consumer. An effort is being made to furnish information on the kind and quality of fiber used in various textiles and the method of handling it in the fabric. Where necessary, experimental studies will be carried on to aid the consumer, who is usually the woman in the household, in an intelligent selection of textiles. Through such investigations as these, and also through studies of the house-hold care and cleaning of clothing, short cuts in clothing construction, the use of patterns and principles of costume design, the division hopes to aid both those who make their own clothes and those who buy them ready-made.

T. 38, No. 33 --- Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to THE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The annual meeting of the Associated Press, held last week, in New York City, marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of this great news gathering and dispensing organization in its present form. President Frank B. Noyes, in a speech made upon his reelection to the head of this body, said that he found that even within its membership are those who only dimly realize its purposes. He sought to define these as parts of the instrumentality through which twelve hundred member newspapers exchange views and news, one with the other, the staff of each paper acting as collectors of original news. The organization was declared to be purely democratic, cooperative and non-profit making. Fifteen newspaper men connected with member newspapers act as its trustees. The news that is required must be non-partisan, without bias of any sort and as nearly as possible accurate. That it has at times fallen far short of these ideals is admitted, but these occasions were referred to as individual errors and not intentional departures from the principles laid down by the founders, who included such leaders of American journalism as Victor F. Lawson and Melville E. Stone. The diversity of sectional and political interests served by the Associated Press was shown by the names of the five directors elected by acclamation, to succeed themselves after a three years term. They were: Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution, Charles Hopkins Clark of the Hartford Courant, Elbert H. Baker of the Cleveland Plaindealer, Stuart H. Perry of the Adrian, Mish. Telegram and Times, and J. R. Knowland of the Oakland, Calif. Tribune. Coincident with the meeting of the Associated Press in New York there came a claim from Atlanta, that newspapers are largely responsible for the decrease of seventy percent in the lynching record during the past three years. This statement was made at the session of the Interracial Commission, held in Atlanta last Friday, by R. B. Eleazer, its publicity director. The report said further that testimonials to the service of newspapers of the South in promoting better race relations were offered in the form of clippings from many papers. It is to be noted in connection with the decrease of lynchings in the South there has been a visible effort on the part of the Associated Press or its Southern correspondents to suppress, or at least mummize, the news of those lynchings which have recently taken place. To obtain the details of these recent outrages, it was necessary to secure the local papers published in the vicinity of the crime. While the Associated Press has in times past figured as one of the rankest offenders in the distribution and publication of propaganda intended to disparage the Negro in the estimation of the American public, an improvement has been perceptible of late years in this regard. This may be due to the general tendency in the better class of American newspapers to give all classes a fair deal, irrespective of race or color. CHURCHES AND PROPERTY The declaration was recently made by well-known Harlem realtor, that the tenderer of colored church congregations in New York is to erect too costly edifices without having the material resources to pay for them, and the periodical contributions of the membership and its friends. It was promised a mistake to invest so much money in structures to be used for church purposes unless, there had been first created a substantial source of income for the purpose of meeting the overhead expenses. An example The declaration was recently made by a well-known Harlem realtor, that the tendency of colored church congregations in New York is to erect too costly edifices without having the material resources to pay for them, beyond the periodical contributions of the membership and its friends. It was pronounced a mistake to invest so much money in structures to be used for church purposes, unless, there had been first created a substantial source of income for the purpose of meeting the overhead expenses. An example of sound church financing was quoted in the case of one institution which has a large income through investments in Harlem realty, which is used to meet the expenses of the church. While the point as to the danger of church corporations assuming too great an expense in the erection of places of worship far beyond their means, is undoubtedly well taken, as was suggested in The Age a year or so ago, it is not always feasible or indeed desirable for a religious body to engage in the accumulation of property for business purposes or through business channels. The case used as an example of sound church financing was an exceptional one in that the religious corporation referred to was able to utilize a grant of land made to it for special purposes nearly a century ago, until the increment reinvested in Harlem realty constitutes the present endowment. But few churches were the recipients of such grants, even if they had been able to develop them. The accumulation of property is really outside of the original purpose of the church, beyond such structures as are needed for the conduct of religious service and the prosecution of such welfare and community work as the church may engage in. It is the belief of many devout Christians that the church which gives its time and thought to the accumulation of property for purposes of financial gain, does so at a loss of opportunity for Christian service and religious advancement. Nevertheless, the church through its ministers might properly stress the necessity for business enterprise on the part of its members as individuals or through some form of cooperation. The buying of homes by the people should also be encouraged. With the growth of business and the accumulation of wealth among its members, the church is bound to participate in the benefits derived from such prosperity. The zealous Christian as he prospera through fair dealing and legitimate methods of trade, will signify his gratitude to an overruling Providence by giving more generously of his means for religious purposes. He will contribute largely to erect temples of worship to magnify the glory of the Creator, and he will donate toward every worthy effort intended to relieve suffering humanity. The Church will do well to encourage the development of business, even if it may not be advisable as a rule for churches to engage in the accumulation of property themselves. TOO MANY POOL ROOMS With the opening of a second pool room, the same block, the question has forced itself upon the attention of the community, to whether Harlem has not already the many of these gaming resorts for its own use. It is not that the game of pool is itself any more inherently evil than checkers, billiards, but the over supply of the places catering to idlers and seekers of divinity tends to lower the tone of the scene of these places inevitably become prone to the community, instead of a benefit to the line of healthful relaxation. They are the rendezvous for the idle and vicarious disseminate the seeds of vice through the community. One remedy for this condition would be the restrictive supervision of these resorts, licensing authorities as well as by the proprietors. If left to the proprietors alone, tendency is to laxness in supervision, view of encouraging a greater amount of use. Too often these places are allowed generate into resorts for a vicious class of users who prey upon the unsophisticated visitors and use the place as a headquarters "the gang." While this gang usually comprises several pool sharks, who can be the novice into backing his clumsy attempts at shooting the balls against their professional skill, their sharp practice does not at that. The supervision of pool rooms by the proprietors should begin before permission is given to open one in any particular location. The character of the proprietor should be investigated, with such details as might in the sort of place he would maintain the neighborhood should be canvas, and any objections raised by adjoining private owners and tenants given due weight. The license department should consult those likely to be affected by the opening such a resort and have the police captain the precinct advise as to the wisdom of such addition to the existing number of resorts. As Harlem appears to be overstocked with pool rooms, it would be advisable for the licensing authorities to refuse permits for a condition to the number, unless the application show by affirmative proof that an urgent exists for such a resort in a given city. Those places whose existence preceded upon the knowledge of the travel public by a throng of well dressed idlers their entrance, who use vulgar and indecend language to the annoyance of decent people should be abated as a public nuisance.

TAKING HARLEM DOWNTOWN There exists a tendency among the leg figures of the colored community in Haiti to take their pleasures and their celebrations of a social character south of Centark. The impelling motive for this demotion may be to show the outside world Harlem is capable of doing in this city so carry on to a further degree the creation of the white community. If this There exists a tendency among the leading figures of the colored community in Harlem to take their pleasures and their celebrations of a social character south of Central Park. The impelling motive for this demonstration may be to show the outside world what Harlem is capable of doing in this line and so carry on to a further degree the education of the white community. If this is so, there may be justification for the social exodus that impends from upper Manhattan, when our intellectuals seek to honor a guest from out of town or even one of their own number. But this demonstration should not be carried too far. From the educational viewpoint there is probably more to be gained by entertaining the guests and traitors of both races within the confines of Harlem which boasts ample accommodations for such affairs and can furnish a local atmosphere that is lacking on Broadway or Fifth avenue. From the economic standpoint the argument is equally strong, in that the holding of such affairs in Harlem, where the place and menu for social functions could be secured from one of our local restaurateurs, would mean the circulation of more money within the race and the building up of deserving race enterprises. The quality of service and cuisine that could be given by some of these local caterers would also be enlightening to many of those from the outer world. The failure of some of our leading men and organizations to avail themselves of the opportunity to introduce "the greatest Negro community in the world" to their honored guests and distinguished visitors would be inexplicable, if it were not to be accounted for as another species of that phase of self-depreciation from a racial standpoint, due to the existence of a morbid, but still active inferiority complex. In last week's issue, we showed how this complex made itself manifest in the judgment of literary achievement and the evaluation of racial effort along lines of publicity and welfare work. An instance of the same spirit was exhibited recently along social lines, in a banquet given by a club of medical graduates to honor a veteran college instructor of Howard University. Banquet rooms on Fifth avenue were secured, for this affair and it undoubtedly contributed to the education of the proprietor and his staff, as well as to that of the number of white physicians who participated. But it is quite likely that this kind of education could have been imparted just as effectively in Harlem, at one of our local restaurants. The guests would have been equally impressed and would have enjoyed just as delicious a menu, with the additional attraction of a little local color to emphasize the occasion. We would not be so ready to emphasize this last affair, if it had been the first occurrence of this sort, but it seems to mark a tendency that does not help to build up the self-respect of the race or the respect of others for it. An occasional excursion of Harlem to the centers of social life in the lower forties or fifties is not to be frowned upon. It is only when such excursions threaten to become a habit instead of an exception, to the social, moral and financial loss of the race, that we feel called upon to protest. Those individuals and organizations who have become addicted to this habit of shunning Harlem when there are any posies to be distributed or banquets, to be eaten, might with specious logic retort, that it is their privilege to spend their money and eat their banquets where they choose. Very true, but such a a selfish truism comes with ill-fitting grace from the lips of those who make these occasions an orgy of exaltation of racial achievement in their own special lines. It is well that Harlem should send out its representatives of light and leading to show the world, and especially the world of New York, what Harlem can produce. It should also attract the representatives of the outside world to Harlem and show them the inside life of Harlem. There is much in that life and its local manifestations that any race should be proud to exhibit. A CURIOUS OBJECTION Among the arresting features of a banquet given by a number of the colored medical men of this city last week, was a statement edited to Dr. O'Hanlon, Superintendent ofellevue Hospital, one of the public institutions supported by the City of New York. The news account of the dinner given out, no representatives of the press were apparently invited to attend, said among other things that Dr. O'Hanlon spoke of his connection with colored internes at Bellevue. Among the arresting features of a banquet given by a number of the colored medical men of this city last week, was a statement credited to Dr. O'Hanlon. Superintendent of Bellevue Hospital, one of the public institutions supported by the City of New York. The news account of the dinner given out, as no representatives of the press were apparently invited to attend, said among other things that Dr. O'Hanlon spoke of his connection with colored internes at Bellevue. He felt that they would always be represented there, because they did efficient work. He further stated that colored doctors may eventually an Harlem Hospital and he remarked that he could see why colored people themselves objected to the presence of colored doctors in Harlem Hospital. So far most of the objection has come from colored residents of Harlem If this statement is as well founded as the speaker evidently thought when he made it, it must be accounted for as another example of the fell working of the inferiority complex, as manifested in thinking racially. No valid objection could be raised to the presence and treatment by colored doctors at Harlem or any other qualified hospital. Their presence in such an institution would be a sufficient guaranty of their medical skill and other qualifications. Objection to them could only be ascribed to personal grounds or racial prejudice, neither of which should be harbored by a patient of the same race. The only other possible ground would be that species of racial depreciation, that has been manifested along other lines of intellectual effort, which distrusts and counts of little value the achievements of the race. The medical men of the race should help to eradicate this complex of racial inferiority, even if it requires a major operation to seta- Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors The Age Readers' Forum We wish here to record our admits castles, built of crystal glass An editorial review of the most prominent criminal cases of recent years was undertaken by the Pitrishburgh Courter for prove that crime is not confined to race, creed or color. After reciting a long list of reckless and friendish murders and cases of immorality committed by white criminals, the Courter summed up as follows: And yet, in the light of the foregoing cases, each one of which constitutes an epoch in the history of American crime, we are frequently told that the Negroes are the criminals of this country. The crimes committed by Negroes can not approach in magnitude, or deliberate wickedness of heart of any of the crimes recited in the book, but they are in the heat of passion. His immorality follows the line of least resistance. He never plots and plans the death of anyone. His history does not disclose that he wilfully and deliberately plans and commits crimes against the social order. He has been given by the Daily Press the reputation of being a rapist, but the cases charged against him, as compared with the cases proven against him, fade into the background of the outrageous case recited above and committed by intelligent, educated, refined American people. We offer this review as an encouragement to Negroes who are made to feel by the Daily Press that all of the crime, regardless of grade, committed in this country, is committed by the ignorant, beastly, burly Negro. If facts mean anything at all, Negroes have no corp on crime in this country. And in response to the charge that they are criminals, let them point to the record of the Caucasian brother, and let the record speak for itself. 'Keep to the Records!' The chief trouble is that the United States is the most lawless country in the civilized world. The unchecked tolerance of the mob spirit has spread a wholesale contempt for law and order, which breeds new crimes and new criminals without end. Sferner enforcement of law, without fear or favor, is the only remedy. An interesting article, exemplifying a unique quality of physical stamina inherent in the Negro race, was printed in a recent issue of the Baltimore Afro-American. tI said in part: At the annual conference of the American Chemical Society field in Baltimore last week, Dr. H.J. Killefer, of New York, told the members of that great scientific body how that colored men had perfected experiments with tetra-nitroaniline after white chemists had been overcome by the fumes of the deadly explosive in a laboratory at Boundrock, N. J. a tetra-nitroaniline, igniting 100 times the TNT, but brought by the Government during the war. In a necessary intermediate process, there results a deadly poison. Its fumes enter the "Opportunity's" Editor Defends Selection Of Judges In Its Contest The following communication is self-explanatory; "OPPORTUNITY" Journal of Negro Life Office of CHARLES S. JOHNSON, Editor April 28th, 1925 "Dear Mr. Moore: "Here is what was first intended as an editorial reply to the exceedingly interesting editorial in last week's New York Age. It carries our explanation of the selection of judges. I should be pleased to have you give to your readers the benefit of our point of view, since with your much greater circulation, at least all who read your structures would have an opportunity to read our explanation. It beaches for the continued influence and growth of your paper, believe me to be. Sincerely yours, (Signed) CHARLES S. JOHNSON Mr. JOHNSON EXPLAINS The New York Age in the leading editorial of its issue of April 25 centures. Opportunities' selection of judges insisting that because half of the judges were not colored, this journal evidences a 'dark of self-apreciation'. Since 'self-appreciation' almost to the point of holdiness, explains this venture into the experiment of a Contest, we feel impelled to reply to the recumable editors of the Age, who have missed the point of this effort so completely. These are the indictments, for poetry judges two were white and one were black, but both were colored and but one colored, for plays, three were white and but one colored, for essays, all were white, and for personal experience sketches, only one was colored. The writer of the article contended that 'Opportunity should have sought the cooperation of the colored press', and, ventured the name of Mr. T. Thomas Jurtine, Robert Abbott, Carl Murphy, Washington Rhodes, Robert I. Vann, J F Mitchell, and Joseph Babb, all Newspaper newspaper editors, as possible judges. To this list were added Charles W Chestnut,艾丽 Dumbar Nelson, Jessie Enuset, and Willer White. As poetry judge Jerry Stanley Braithwaite, and William Moore were inspected; as play judges Alexander Royers, Miller and Lykes were offered, no one was inspected as judges for the essays on the personal experience sketch. WITH OUR GIRLS skin, and kill the red corpuscles, cauring suffocation. *Group* after group of white men were tried and found unable to withstand the action of the fumes. Finally Negroes were ordered to make the experiments, and were found to be able to withstand the poisons. It is said that the participants in the experiments were grasped as to complexity to determine if the dark skinned men could withstand the deadly fumes, and they did. It is said that the lightest skinned keelled over in a week, and were resuscitated with difficulty. It was found that the men were Negroes without the fumes and enabled the chemists to complete the experiments, but the armistice, it is said, was signed before much of the explosive could be used. The obvious deduction from this immunity is that black regiments will probably be in demand in the next war to withstand the attacks of poison gas of this character, as well as to manufacture the protective quality of a dark skin would be at a premium in case the enemy laid a blanket of such gas over one of our large cities. According to the Christian Recorder, the religions editors are again debating that moot question, "Which is the Oldest Denomination?" or referring particularly to the A. M. E., and A. M. E. Zion denominations—which is the older? Editor Davenport of the Star of Zion contends that Zon became a denomination in 1801, by the incorporation under the laws of the State of New York. Editor Wright admits the incorporation but insists that is related to but one church corporation, which was a part of the Methodist Episcopal denomination. The editor of the Recorder put the case as follows: All we want is the truth. If the documents show that Zion is older than we are, then we bow and congratulate her. Both churches are old enough to know how to behave Bro. Davenport claims Zion is 124 years old while her sister Bethel is only 199 years old. Now Bro. Davenport is right as to our age, but Bro. Davenport knows what very old and very young ladies often do, but middle aged and marriageable ladies never do-of "putting her age up." Now we are convinced that the African Methodist Church in New York did incorporate in 1801 as Bro. Davenport says. We will not go behind the returns, although when he next go to New York, we try to inspect the records for ourselves. But we rise to ask the good Zion editor a few pointed questions which we hope he will not avade; but answer fully and clearly. These questions were sixteen in number and seemed to cover the essential points in the controversy, which should settle the question of age to the satisfaction of all parties. ration of all of the persons mentioned, who with perhaps two exceptions are known to this magazine and whose abilities have never been questioned. But really, the purpose of the Contest was not to introduce to them the material and ability which they all know exists among Negroes. Nor was it thought necessary to attack the racial balance just for the sake of enduring self-esteem. For short story writing, with attempted to get the most outstanding story writers and critics of the short story in America. An amplication of this selection is that to the stories by Negroes would be applied the supreme American standards. The same consideration governed the selection of judges for other divisions of the Contest. A foremost poem is poetry in Mr. Brontheale. He are not a judge for personal reasons could not serve. At the James Weldon Johnson. He one of our judges. Moreover, of other names mentioned as judges, some were contestants and some closely associated with another similar Contest, one a judge of the other Contest, one and in the case of some of the others mentioned, we confess, apologetically, that their work is not known to us. It is unfortunate that the editorial writer in the Age thinks that "the power and ability of colored editors and writers" is being deprecated. Really, the effort has been to avoid depreciation of the whole literary experiment by getting detached experts in special fields of letters. From that point of view it was more appropriate York Age to select an editor of The New York Age, his associates to serve as a judge of the authors' stories, than to ask the editor of The York Times. Both, in fact, might know poetry, and the technique of the short story, but their reputations are founded upon their specialization, which is journalism "the support of the race," he concludes, "is essen- I have nothing of especial interest to tell you this week so I am sending a note.

This support can be most effectively secured through the agency of the Press and the Pupper. The relation of this stock per- tion to the question of who should pass upon the literary merits of Con- tent entries, we confess, is purporting to be the most ministerial object it is only fair that law- yers and the doctors and state men should be allowed to attend a protest. . We do not, however, expect a of this. We believe that all of those mentioned by The Age as an interested as we in "fostering creative effort among: Negroes, developing a body of literature about the Negro by Negroes, and, in bringing these writers into contact with the general world of letters to which the have been, for the most part, timid and articulate strangers." This was our hope, and this is what we tried to do. Harlem! Use Your Library To Capacity! By Miss Ernestine Rose Librarian, West 135th St, Branch, N. Y, Public Library The 135th Street Library needs more readers in order to get more books. The book appropriation of each branch library depends entirely on the home use of its books by actual count. In the list of forty-three branches, 135th Street ranks, varyingly, as the number of from the book collection. The book collection is not in quality it compares favorably with the other branches. The library invites comparison, if anyone is sufficiently interested, to make it by visiting the -Central- Library, where all records are kept, or other branches in order to study their catalogues. But this 'library' has not, sufficient money to buy more than one or two copies of each new book, in case of every popular one, two to four copies, but it is necessary for people to want for the books the 'want'. They have to write also while readers keep out popular one week books for two or three weeks and lend them to their friends. This is not fair to those who use the library, and it lowers the buying' possibility of the library, for the more books are taken out by actual record, the more money will be given the library for buying books. The library wants readers to speak of the books they want, by title. The funds are so small that in special classes of expensive books and those which quickly are superceded by others only titles will be purchased which people really want. Such classes of books are those in education; historical text-books, technical subjects, like designing, mechanical drawing, automobile mechanics, etc. Also we invite those interested in history, thought, and in advanced professional subjects to tell us the books they need. Sociology is used more than any subject except fiction. This is a splendid record and speaks well for both the library collection and the interests of readers. Help us make each subject as vital and up-to-date as this one. We invite use of the library by more people who never use it at all. Students, writers, professional people all use the library, but we want the business men, housewives, working girls and girls which people would enjoy in their leisure moments, in elevated oc subway train, god stories, thrilling books of travel, lives of great men and women. Colored men are going into business in Harlem. There are valuable books on retail trade, business management, cost accounting, why not use them? And we are building up a splendid collection on the Negro, his history and achievements. And not the young people interested in this subject? They do not learn about it in the schools. But the library offers such books to them for the asking. The rules of the library are simple. Every big institution must have some rules, and we have to remember that this is one branch among forty three with a large geographic distribution of books of 28,000. Mankato has lost stolen, never returned by readers. Accurate and businesslike records are necessary to safeguard the public's property. But remember, the library is open to every one, and it is free. Use it, respect its rules, and try to make it more useful, more widely known, and more property of the entire community. The library is supported entirely public taxes. It is under the manage- ment of the New York Public Libr Corporation, but it gets no money except from public taxation. The Corpo- ration funds support only the great re- ference library on 42nd street This is why our funds are small it is necessary to bring books promptly to insure their most im- use, why the library is everyone's possibility. $50,000 is the amount allotted to the colored people of New York City in the Hampton-Tuskegee Campaign for $8,000,000. Mr. Watt Terry who is the chair man of the Committee is asking the co-operation of the citizens putting the drive over. Pledges and contributions are asked. The headquarters are in the IW. C. A. Building, 179 West 139th street. A cordial welcome is extended. All interested in this great drive for $50,000, and who desire to see it put over, are asked to call and give cash or subscribe Time will be given to pay in. Get busy and help. Let everybody give something. In radiant splendor shine Its streets of golden buttercups Neath leafy bower twine I saunter through its gardens: I its gardens rich with flowers, I gaze into its silvery lakes For many many hours: And in my little kingdom The sun does always shine. There's never any rain or snow. It's pleasant all the time. No road lezds to that great domain, My dreamland home so fair Except one endless road of dreams I gather here and there IS THE GREAT ATHLETE AN EGOTIST? IS THE GREAT ATHLETE AN EGOTIST? What is it that disinguished the great athlete from the merely able one? I think it is that supreme egotism that great actors possess but when an athlete has it he is generally called "chesty." In the past few years there have been comparatively few chesty Negro athletes, and for the same reason I don't think that there are more than a half dozen athletes who might be classed as great. The chief difference between Jack Johnson and Harry Will is that Johnson is chesty while Wills is extremely modest. Johnson returning from Leavenworth Prison four or five years ago, was met at the 125th street station by a group of Harlem friends and escorted him to the Manhattan Casino for a short reception. When he arrived at the Casino he found a group of reporters from the daily press. The reporters gathered around and began to question him. Smarting under what he believed an unjust imprisonment, Johnson was extremely haughty. He looked at the reporters coldly and said, "I don't give a d—about no man—you can tell them (the public) that I am still the best man in the world." Wills on the other hand never seems quite positive of himself. He will say he is going to win a fight but will never predict how soon or in what manner. Because of this apparent lack of confidence, he will probably be remembered as a good heavyweight but not as a great one. Supreme confidence in one's ability and the willingness to tell the world of it, is in my opinion a prime requisite for a successful athlete. In baseball John Henry Lloyd, manager of the Bacharach JPPAJMJO pure "sunny cell", captain of the Lincoln Giants, are two players who come to mind as possessing this quality. Both modestly admit that they are the greatest ball players in the country, and the fans are taking them at their own valuation of themselves. In basketball Cüm Posey of Pittsburgh is the classic example of this kind. He'll tell the world he is a great basketball player and while everyone may not agree with him, other players have feared him for the past five or six years more than any one man. I think it was Edgar G. Brown's chestiness as much as anything else that caused him to be suspended by the American Tennis Association. He is positively so chesty that many of the other players dislike him. Yet, for all his egism, he is a wonderful player and I predict that he will regain the championship. In football the whole Lincoln University team was chesty, especially "Jazz" Byrd, and the whole country knows how the other teams feared and respected him. DeHart Hubbard also has the reputation of being chesty. When he first came East to compete against E. O. Gourdin, few people believed that he would be able to make a showing against the then world's record holder. But he beat him in their first meeting and has defeated him ever since. Lucky is the athlete with unusual ability and who at the same time has that temperament which enables him to tell the world about himself. Manager Shapiro Denies Owing Money To Cast Of "Aces and Queens" Co. An article in the Interstate Tattler two weeks ago concerning "Aces and Queens," which was then playing at the Lafayette Theatre, gave the impression that the management of this house was trying to beat the cast out of their salaries. Robert C. Ogden A. A. Dissolved By A. A. U. An announcement from the local branch of the Amateur Athletic Union furnishes the interesting information that no longer will that organization recognize the Robert Curtis Ogden Athletic Association. Upon inquiry of one of the members, it was learned that this action by the A. A. U. in the nature of an official dissolution of the Ogden Association, and that it had really ceased to function several months ago. The late Robert Curtis Ogden noted Michael Shapiro, lessee and manager, stated to a representative of the Age that his inference was false. He hays that Foster and Marino are the owners of the show and it was they who was responsible for the salaries. Continuing he said that when the show came to his theatre, he advanced $600 toward salaries with the understanding that he was to take this loan out of the gross receipts. But when he learned that by taking this money out, he would deprive some of the cast of their salaries, he refused to take it out and it is still owed him. The owners are now enclosing a legal notice to the production and from present indications all who were connected with it will lose money. Mr. Shapiro has not been connected with the Lafayette very long but all of the employees give him a good name Sam Craig, who has been stage carpenter and stage manager for the past 11 years, declares that Mr. Shapiro is the best boss he has had. With the return of Treving C. Miller's "Broadway Rastus" to this house week, Manager Shapiro states that the show is one of the popular musical shows and dramas that cannot be equalled in this section of the city in entertaining value Eastern League Games To Be Played in Jersey City Eastern League Games To Be Played in Jersey City At a meeting of the Eastern Colored Baseball League (better known as the Colored Majors) held at Philadelphia on last Friday it was decided to adhere to the earliest solicitations of prominent colored minor league teams and arrange their schedule so that the colored folk of this section would have an opportunity of seeing their favorite colored stars in action. As a means to this end arrangements were made with the officials of the Jersey City International League team whereby all the teams in the league will play games on the Sundays the Jerseys are played in.

Dissolved By A. A. U. An announcement from the local branch of the Amateur Athletic Union furnishes the interesting information that no longer will that organization recognize the Robert Curtis Ogden Athletic Association. Upon inquiry of one of the members it was learned that this action by the A. A. U. is in the nature of an official dissolution of the Ogden Association, and that it had really ceased to function several months ago. The late Robert Curtis Ogden, noted Philadelphia merchant and philanthropist associated with John Wanamaker, showed his interest in the Negroes of his city by leaving a fund for the establishment of a welfare organization among the John Wanamaker Stores. This Ogden associates grew strong in Philadelphia and a branch was started among the colored employees of the Wanamaker store in New York. In order to popularize the New York branch the Robert Curtis Ogden Athletic Association was formed among the younger employees about four years ago. The best of the local track athletes dared draw first and it soon captured the prestige of the St Christopher Club as the premier colored athletic association of the city. But according to a former member, President Logan of the Ogden Welfare Association was more interested in the band and other activities than in athletics, and would not give them funds for uniforms and other necessities. He said that the only money they received was from the Melrose A. A. This state of affairs caused the members to become discouraged and one by one they began to desert to other clubs. A final break came when money was refused members for railroad fare to the Howard University games, which are to be held next week. Original members were Clarence Sherman, Kenneth Wileman, Al Williams, Edgar Padmore, Bradford Wesinger, Cecil Cooke, Charles Major and Charles Dickey. Cooke and Wesinger are away at school, making splendid records with Syspause and the University of Pennsylvania track teams. While most of the other members have returned to the older club with which they were, formerly associated—Charles Dickey and Clarence Sherman are back with St Christopher and Edgar Padmore has returned to the Alpha P. C. At Lincoln Theatre Mae Murray believes in doing things differently. She designs her own clothes, creates all her dances and, with the aid of her director-husband, Robert Z. Leonard, select her own stories. Her most recently completed picture, "Greece the Enchanted," written especially for her by Vincente Blasco Ibanaan, comes to the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday, and according to all reports, is in keeping with Miss Murray's position of originality. Miss Murray's part is unusual. As Orrie, her part is the mythical goddess of Greece who transformed men into swine, and her mother prototype, a sitch of New Orleans and New York. In the latter role she is given an opportunity of wearing more than thirty complete changes of gowns and dresses. She performs two dances in the picture which are different from anything she has previously done before the camera. Orrie she appears as the mythical god-production released by Metro Goldwyn "Highpocket" Hudspeth and the Gee Brothers—Richard and Tom—were the stars of a ten inning game at the Catholic Protectory Oval here on Sunday, April 26, which gave the Lincoln Giants a double victory over the Bacharach Giants. The occasion was the opening of the Eastern Colored League in New York and more than 7000 fans witnessed the games. After winning the first game 6-1, the Lincoln came from behind in the other contest, tying the score in the eighth inning with a home run by Hudspeth, his second for the after-the-splendid-pitching of Robbers for the Bacharachs and Taylor for the Lincoln presented either side from scoring in the ninth. And Taylor caused the Bacharach's heavy batters—Young, Lundy and Lloyd—to go out in a row in their half of the tenth. Sacrifice hit—Singer. Two base hit, Taylor. Home run, Hudspeth. Double plays, Lloyd to Lundy to Cumpings; Marcel to-Pryor to Hudspeth. Bases on balls, off Roberts 7; off Taylor 2. Struck out, by Roberts 7; by Taylor 4. Hit by pitcher, Cummings. Umpires, Moran and Mullen Hilldale Trims Harrisburg In First League Tilt, 6-2 Jules Thomas, who has returned to his old team, was first mln up for the Lincolns in the tenth. He struck out. Then along came Tom Fialo who hit a single. Tom Gee was next up and also made a single, advancing Fial to third. After a short consultation, Manager Gans and Mar. Kennedy decided to send "Rich" Gee in as the pinch hit for John Taylor. The selie played a good one for Gee landed out a single straight across second base, breaking up the game and giving the home team a 4-3 victory. Opener A Pitching Duel In the Opening contest "Rats" Henderson and Dave Brown staged a pitching duel. The honors were about even, but the breaks were with Brown. Henderson was a bit wild in the first innning. He hulked Pryor and Marcel. Singer got his base through an error by the pitcher, then George Scales landed out a two base hit, scoring the three of them. Henderson settled down and allowed only five hits during the remainder of the game. Two of these hits, a two bagger and a home run, were by Hudspeth. Brown allowed seven hits but they were well scattered. The visitors only were made by Lundy on a single by "Pop" Lloyd. Although the fans have not been pleased with the pre-league game played by the Lincoln, the strong, showing they made the Bacharach Giants has boosted the Bankhouse considerably. Should the local team make the same showing against Hilldale next Sunday, they will begin to take the championship aspirations of the Lincoln seriously.

Kenneth "Fink" Garden, was Manager Charleston's choice to start the fray for the Giants, but evidently Oscar's hunch was bad. The Hildale batters shelled Garden off the peak in less than two innings and amassed all of their tallies from the offerings of diminutive Ping. Datty Cooper was rushed to hill after two Hildale batters had been reeled in the second inning and handed the team blanks for the remainder of the game. Two home run drives, one by George Carr in the first inning and another by Clint Thomas in the second frame really spelled finis for Gardner's efforts on the mound. Both drives cleared the fence in center and felt center that has been moved back to enlarge the field. The Harrisburg Giants presented a new combination in the infield with Ben Taylor at first and Walter Cannady at shortstop. Cannady was the only Giant to collect more than one hit Oscar Charleston, the Harrisburg leader went hulks, but hugged in both of the Giants runs.

Why Have Blind People If it be true, and it is stated as so by authoritative people, that there are a hundred thousand totally blind people in our country, it might be well for us to stop and think of what this means or might mean to us. We have funds for the entertainment of these people cut off from the normal pleasures and pursuits of living and we have radios being built for them and classes for their instruction, that they may make their living and so on, but that it not all we might do. A great deal of blindness may be prevented. How? As soon as a child is born the physician in attendance drops into the eyes of the babe a solution which is not harmful to the eyes, but does kill a certain germ which in the past caused a high proportion of blindness. The name of this germ is "gonococcus." All babies are treated alike in this respect. As a preventative this produrem does well. Why not eliminate gonorrhea and prevent any contamination which at any time may cause an infection of the eyes, and if untreated, blindness, and if treated late, severe and uncorrectable dame to the eyesight? Let no one use "the common towel." It should be prohibited. It is always advisable to carry one's own towel and wash clothes on a journey. Care should be exercised regarding the use of wood alcohol. Do not take yourself or your children to a poorly lighted theatre where flickering films are used. Such places and pictures are the cause of the eye strain. Arrange the lights in your home so that reading and sewing land any close eye wear is done under good light, not flaring, not striking one's eyes and of possible coming from over the shoulder. See that school conditions are perfect too. Have the eyes examined if there is a scowl in a child's forehead or if the eyes water and squint, etc. Be sure to take the eye patient to a physician who is a specialist in this lie. Remember that the man who makes good glasses or even fits them well is not wise enough to be entrusted with your child's eyesight. Poorly fitting glasses may do great damage. Young Mother Deserts Two Daughters, 2 and 3 Years On February 10, 1925, a young woman known only as "Ethel," brought her two daughters to Mrs. Abbie Lamm, who lives at 7 West 137th street and asked her to keep the children while she went out to do a day's work. Mrs. Lamb agreed to keep the children for the day and has been keeping them ever since. This police of the 16th Precinct are now looking for "Ethel" so that Mrs. Lamm may be relieved of the burden of caring for them, as she is aged and somewhat infirm and is being largely supported by her daughter, Mrs. Viola Brown of 5 West 137th street. It is believed that the mother has deserted her children and unless she comes for them within the next few days they will be put into an orphan home. The children are known as Saville, 3 years, and Dolly Lee, 2 years. Their mother was a native of the British West Indies and anyone who may know of their parents are asked to communicate with the Polices Department.
