The election of Waller by so overtime in a majority gave occasion for the metropolitan paper to exercise a flair for sensationalism and he proceeded to the election with rioting, hair and hair pulling matches and girls of the school which had no existence whatsoever.

He said that the only time he became aware of any difference racially was when he looked into a mirror. "Bill" Buch, opposition candidate, a head taller that Waller, stood by with his arm thrown affectionately over the cooled hands of shoulders. He said, "I am absolutely delighted that our elections have always been friendly contests, and are so run that disorder, could not ensue, and the statement printed to the effect that police were called to quell a disturbance is ridiculous." Gave Him A Square Deal After a bit of Arthur's shyness had worn off, he expressed himself concerning the situation with candor and freedom. Said he "I can hardly believe it's true, but I want to tell you this that I never hope to get a quarter deal anywhere in my life than what my friends at Newtown High have given me. "Last year the nominating committee, composed of two representatives from each class, came to me and told me out of a clear sky, that I had been nominated to GO 0. But before a campaign for me was started, a teacher told me that my scholastic average was not high enough to make me eligible for can didacy. So I withdrew before the campaign committee had gone to any trouble in my behalf. Overcomes Scholarship Handicap "I decided not to be thrown out of a campaign against an account of scholarship," continued Arthur, "that is, if I ever got picked to run for an office again. So I studied hard all last term and brought my average up to about 85 percent. It was mighty hard to do it, for I do all sorts of odd jobs after school to earn a little money to help me crippled, father meet the costs of my education. One time I had a job setting pins in a bowling alley from 7 till 12 o'clock at night. Can you manage study after that, after putting in an afterpay, some sport, too? But I finally did. And this year, when the nominating committee came around again I was fully eligible." "The campaign was one of the quietest ones we've had there in a long time," said Arthur. "The students all acted very orderly and the principal expressed himself as well pleased with the conduct of the campaigning and polling." Chas. Young Post, A. L., To Conduct Poppy Sale The Col. Charles Young Post, 308, American Legion, held its regular meeting Tuesday night May 5 at headquarters, 2176 Seventh avenue, Commander M V Boutte, presiding. A large attendance was had. The endowment proposition and membership drive were enthusiastically considered. The action of the Post commander with regard to alleged discrimination against loyal soldiers at the Pershing testiment at the Hippopotamus on Saturday, April 25, was endorsed manually. Arrangements are being perfected for the annual poppy sale for benefit of disabled veterans during Memorial Day week. Members of the Pierrettes and Debutantes Clubs will sell for the Post and the organization is donating two prizes, $5 in gold and a bottle of French extract, "Queuelé Fleures," to the girls selling the largest number of flowers. Unless the city officials change their minds within the next eight months, the Lincoln Hospital, Nurse Training School and Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People will have to close its doors. In line with a report by John J. McGrath of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, the city officials have decided to erect a new hospital in the Bronx instead of taking over the Lincoln Hospital establishment.

ROYALL. 21 West 131th Street. Phone 3565 Harlem This institution was founded in 1839 down at Bond street as a home for aged and helpless colored people. In 1843 larger quarters were secured and the population it remained until 1898. During this period the work was enlarged to hospital service and the endowment gradually increased to a million dollars. - Moved To The Bronx The last move, was made in 1898 when a large plot of ground was bought on East 141st street near Southern Boulevard, and the present general hospital and nurse training school established. During its twenty-seven years in the Bronx, this hospital served an unusually large section of that part of the city, established free clinics for the poor and cared for many city patients. At the present time 60 per cent. of the patients are city patients. I care patients with the care of many and who cost the hospital about 41 per day. Since it first moved to the Bronx the hospital has conducted a nurse training school and the reputation of this school has grown from yeaf to year until it is now generally considered the best school for training colored nurses in the country. At the present time there are about 110 nurses in this school. It is recognized as a Class A school by the State Board of Education, but in its last report the members of this board recommended that a separate and more modern home be erected for the nurses. Unable To Meet Demand It was partly because of the inability of the management to comply with this recommendation that the home will have to close. The classes which do not graduate before January, 1926, will be transferred to other Class A nurse training schools to complete their course The ambulance service of Lincoln supplies half of the Bronx and there is an average of 600 calls per month. Despite this fact, Dr. McGrath reported that it would cost the city $1,625,000 to put the buildings and nurse's home in condition. His report stated that the buildings were without cellars, that the wards were goomy and poorly lighted, that the plumbing system was practically used, that the main building was in a dilapidated and neglected condition and a veritable free trap." He suggested that the city might better spend $1,200,000 or $1,300,000 building a new hospital Lincoln Spends $375,000 Yearly At the present time it costs $175,000 per year to run the hospital and the income is less than $200,000. The contract with the city for ambulance service expires at the end of this year and the Board of Managers passed resolutions directing that steps he taken to liquidate the institution at the end of the year. In an interview with Dr J S Richards, superintendent, the Age learnied that the Old Folks Home will continue a separate institution after the hospital has closed. Dr Richards deplored the fact that this institution had to close after so many years of service to the people of New York, but he said it was impossible for it to continue operating unless financial aid was secured from the city. Some of New York's oldest and wealthiest families had contributed towards its support in the past but money from this source has not come from the endowment has not been sufficient in recent years to meet needed expenses. There are only 56 minutes of the Old Folks Home and they will be moved to smaller quarters in another section of the city. Construction Has Started On Y. W. Residence House 137th St. "Y" Workers Are Happy Since The Steam Shovel Sings WORK STARTED MONDAY Building To Be Largest Of Kind In City, And Will Cost $275,000 Monday morning visitors to the Colored Women's Branch Y W A, at 179 West 137th street opened their eyes wide and uttered ejaculations of surprise, for there were forces of laborers and operators manning massive steam hose which afraid, he rebounded down into what is to be the site of the new residence building or that branch—a building which is contemplated to furnish homes and a home atmosphere for at least 164 girls and women. In other words, work had begun on the new home for girls which will meet one of the most keenly felt needs of the community. For more than a year, it has been a case of "hope deferred," but now the "V" workers and the hosts of the new women who make this building the center of educational and recreational activities are rejoicing in the prospect of an immediate evacuation of their home. Largest In City The building will adjoin the present "M" building, occupying three lots to the east of it, 75 by 100 feet in area, and it will be the largest residence building in the city at this time. It will be provided with reception rooms, parlors, and other features that will contribute towards providing a real home for the residents. It will be connected with the main "M" building, and the girls and women who live there will have access to every faculty provided in that spacious and well-equipped echelhe. The excavating is being done with rapidity although it is a difficult task. The formation underlying the surface mostly rock and much of this will be housed on the ground. At the same time, this will only a large part of the stone to be used erecting the building. The plans have been prepared by Arditeur François J. Joaquen for the construction will be under direct supervision of the M W (A. of the City of New York Profit On Sale Of Property. During the recent World War in order to afford some relief for the acute housing situation, the W.W.A. purchased the building at 200 West 147th street corner Seventh avenue and operated it as a residence for girls and women, but it was only a temporary solution of the problem. This building, in honor of the then chairman of the Committee of Management, was called the Jamaica Rancho House. In the (Continued on Seventh Page) Man 65 Years Old Caught In Net Of 'Numbers' Players West Indian Arrested In Raid On Hallways, Basements, Etc. Ferdinand Dueson, 65, porter, 36 West 136th street, was caught inside of the building at 29 West 135th street, at 9.14 a.m. Tuesday morning, with a bunch of policy slips in his possession. He was charged with common gambling and taken to the Washington Heights Court by Patrolman Bradly, the arresting officer, for trial. Three other men were brought into the 16th Precinct police station in West 135th street at the same time that Dueson was brought before the desk sergeant, and all three were charged with common gambling for having numbers slips on their persons. James Simpson, 42 who said his home was in the British West Indies, was arrested at the same place as Dueson. Joseph Shackelford, 35, porter, 2345 Seventh avenue, was arrested at 200 West 140th street by Patrolman Winship. Richard Brown, 35, porter, 170 West 133rd street, was arrested at 172 West 133rd street, by Patrolman Moore and like the others had a handful of slips of paper with numbers written on them. 12 Families Routed By Early Morning Blaze In W. 45th St. 12 Families Routed By Early Morning Blaze In W. 45th St. Twelve colored and two white families were trapped in their apartments at 440 West 45th street, when a two-alarm fire broke out in the building early Tuesday morning. Lydia Miles, 30, who sprained her ankle trying to escape the flames, met with difficulty in making her exit from the burning building and was afterwards treated by Dr. Bhelkh of the Bellevue Hospital. The George Fox, living on the fourth floor, threw in and three small children were rescued by firemen from Hook and Ladder Company, No 4. The firemen found Muriel Fox, age 3, and her brothers Joe and George, ages 2 and 8 years, respectively, asleep in a water soaked bed. They were taken to the Roosevelt Hospital in a police automobile wrapped in blankets. The hospital physicians state that the children were unharmed except for a possible cold due to exposure. A large crowd in the street witnessed the heroic work of the firemen and police reserve under direction of Chief Kenlon and "Smokey" Joe Martin, and their fast work in extinguishing the blaze that is believed to have started in a baby carriage in the lair on the ground floor. Candy, Taxicabs and Lead Stolen In Harlem Candy, Taxicabs and Lead Stolen In Harlem Some wicked individuals, this week, have been practicing their habit of taking things when no one was looking, borrowing things without permission with no intention of returning them. The records show that they have taken from an automobile to a box of candy, not forgetting to cut the lead pipe from plumbing in vacant apartments. Citing from court records: William Mayfield, 121 West 130th street was held Tuesday by Magistrate Brooks in the Heights Court in $1,000 bail. He was caught by the pantor of the building at 155 West 132nd street while in the act of cutting away the lead pipe under the kitchen sink. Mayfield made a haasty exit down the fire escape with the janitor close on his heels. At the corner the chase was joined in by Traffic Officer Gleason, and the fleeing man was caught in West 129th street near Eighth avenue after several shots had been fired over his head. Miff Dillworth, 20, same address as the former prisoner, was apprehended by Policeman James Quinlan when the officer became curious of a large hudge in Dillworth's pockets early Tuesday morning. Upon searching the young man the policeman found about $15 worth of candy and $54 in cash which the prisoner admitted had been stolen from two candy stores into which he had forced an entrance during the night. He was held in $2,500 bail for the Grand Jury. FAKE SOLICITOR COLLECTING MONEY FROM WOULDBE SUBSCRIBERS TO THE AGE HAS NO AUTHORITY TO DO SO; PUBLIC IS WARNED The New York Age is in receipt of the subjoined correspondence from the Rev H. Garcia, 15 Yorke street, Salem, N. J., which indicates that some individual is trading upon The Age and other race publications to solicit and collect funds from would be readers under the guise of subscriptions, but without authority and evidently without any intention of reporting same to the proper sources The Rev Mr. Garcia, under date of April 29, wrote The Age a postal card saying "Gentlemen—About four week ago I subscribed for The New York Age, and Crisis Magazine through your agent, Mr H. S. olives. One copy of The New York Age came a week or so later, but since then I have received none. What is the trouble? Please attend to this and oblige. The Age, having no record of the subscription, wrote Mr. Garcia and asked for a copy of the receipt which he was supposed to have, and at the same time called the Crisis office on the phone and learned that they had no record of the transaction and carried no agent of the name given by the Salem minister Under date of May 2, Mr Garcia wrote again enclosing the receipt which had been given him. He wrote as follows "Dear su—I unclosed find, as requested, receipt given in by Mr. H. S. Jones for subscription to The New York Age and Crisis for six (6) months. Mr Jones represented himself as an agent of the ANSOUTH NAGRO PRISS, with power to write up subscriptions for the Tribune, Defender, Age, Crisis, etc. His plan seemed feasible—an agreement between several Negro papers and magazines by which, to promote a larger circulation, certain inducements are given subscribers for six months, one year, etc. Apparently several subscriptions were gotten by him in this city." The New York Age furnishes all its accredited representatives with credentials that affirm their standing. Any person claiming to represent this paper but not holding these credentials, is not to be so accredited. The Age has no agent, representative or employee bearing the name given in this case—H S' JOXEN-S—and has not received ths subscription or money paid him by Rev. Garcia or any of the other citizens of Salem N. J. or of any other communities in which he may have worked. The copy of The Age received by the minister was either purchased from a newstand and mailed by the solicitor, or sent in response to a request for sample copy, which might have been sent in the preacher's name.

Cellar Approves Douglass For Hall of Congressman Emanuel Cellar, of the 10th District, Brooklyn, has written an endorsement of the movement to have the bust of Frederick Douglass placed in the Hall of Fame of the College of New York. Mr. Cellar wrote the Reverend S. Harter, the Rev. Tintu Tintu Baptist Church, Brooklyn, under date of May 1, declaring that "The history of Douglass is the splendid story of the colored race in the United States" and that every colored man and woman is a potential Douglass, "Courage and heroism and fidelity to a good cause know no color line and there should be none in the Hall of Fame," said Mr. Cellar Club's Custom Of Conferring Honorary Memberships On Its Distinguished Guests Is Ignored By President Mallon, Who Used Southern Member's Projudice As Excuse George B. Mallon, president of the Dutch Treat Club, an organization of well known artists, writers and editors of New York City, exhibited himself as either being entirely in sympathy with the southerner's antipathy to the Negro, or else as a spineless creature of sorts, lacking moral courage, when he permitted Paul Robeson and Laurence Brown to be made the subjects of an insulting slight after they had been received as guests of the club and had contributed their quota towards the club's entertainment. PAGE TWO Newspaper Usual Courtesy With And Brown By Pres- Club After Being Club's Custom Of Conferring Distinguished Guests Is Igt Who Used Southernii Mem George B. Mallon, presi- an organization of well know of New York City, exhibited tirely in sympathy with the Negro, or else as a spinele moral courage, when he perme- rence Brown to be made the after they had been received contributed their quota tow The occasion was the weekly lunch- ceon of the Dutch Treat Club at the Hotel Martinique, and it has been an invariable custom with the club to confer honorary memberships upon guests invited to address or enter- tain them. Mr Robeson sang a group of Negro folk songs, with Mr. Brown at the piano, and the 150 guests were so enthused at hearing "Boy" to know the Lazy Hands on me." "Swing low, sweet charion," and "Jesusha fit the battle of Jericho," that the last song had to be repeated. The club is about six years old, and the guests who have not received the big plaster of paris medal, hung on a red ribbon, emblematic of their beaten honorary members, have been left the half hour, who said something objectionable to the club or had acted unbecomingly as guests. President Withheld Courtesy .. President Witfield Courtesy When Mr. Robeson and Mr Brown finished their numbers, President Mallon arose and thanked them, and expressed a hope they would come again, but not a word he did he say about conferring the usual courtesy, even though there lay just at his hand three of the big medals. There was only one other guest, Major Mallon, who was clearly evident that Mallon had intended to carry out the usual program of action. And although the applause given the Britsher was much less than that accorded the two Negroes, President Mallon did not fail to suggest according Forbes Keith with the usual honorary membership and to place one of the medals about the Englishman's neck. Members of the club, objecting to the effect of an explanation from President Mallon The latter, with John O'Hara Coograve, editor of The Sunday World magazine who has charge of the weekly programs, and who is chairman of the Board o. Governors, both expressed themselves as being in favor of according the usual courtesy to the colored guests, but Mallon declared that a southerner, belonging to the club, had assumed an office in the Board o. Governors, that some unpleasant development might follow the proposal of honorary membership for life Negroes, and that under the circumstances it was deemed wise to omit the feature rather than have the men embarrassed. Cobb Denies Objection It was reported among the members of the club that the southerner indicated was none other than Irwin Cobb, the writer, who came from Paducah, Ky, but Mr Cobb was emphatic in denying that such had been learned with emphasis and force that "I accepted them as artists, regardless of color. I should have had no objection to sitting with them. I would have applauded their being given honorary membership in the club. The only reason I did not be able to believe was because I had made previous arrangements to sit elsewhere with two other friends." Robeson Knew Nothing Mr. Robinson is quite as having been unaware of these developments, and that so far as he and Mr. Brown are aware of the happenings of the afternoon List of Hooch Joints MADISON AVE—2084; 2095.

He said that he had no knowledge of the Dutch Treat Club's customs, and that he accepted the invitation, which was extended to him by John O'Hara Cosgrave, thinking only that he was going to sing some of his songs to a group of newspaper men. Mr. Robeson is also reported as saying he was engaged in a very well indeed, that Mr. Mallon was very courteous, and the club seemed to like his songs. Mr. Robeson's complacency was not shared by members of the club who recognized the departure from established customs. Some of these men even threatened to resign from the club rather than seem to endorse Mallon's action. Citizens Express Opinions Prominent citizens of New York, members of Robeson's race, are outspoken in their coadministration of the alleged slight placed upon Mr Robeson and Mr Brown, the general consensus of opinion being that President Mallon failed to measure up to the occasion, either because of his sneaking sympathetic alliance with the kluxer element in the club. One of the leading actors of the race, Flournoy Miller, starring in one of the strongest and most popular of the current musical comedies, declared with emphasis that the whole thing would have been averted if Mallon had really wanted to honor the Negro guests. Mr. Miller told of going into a restaurant with a leading, white actor, who noted the attitude of a waiter, who came up to take the order, on seeing one of the customers was a colored man. The white actor promptly reprompted the waiter and sent him, calling for the headwaiter and demanding that a waiter capable of showing courteous and giving service should be compelled. The demand was quickly complied with. On other occasions, said Mr. Miller, other white men have quietly submitted to discrimination against colored friends, sliding out without any attempt to enforce their demand for service. Dr Charles H Roberts said it was another case of pandering to threats of Negrophobists at the expense of courtesy and good breeding. Referring to splendid race relations obtaining in New York City, Dr Roberts declared that the Dutch Treat Club can well afford to accord a Negro of the highest type the amenities due If you had to eat your food without the aid of your hands and if your food was made of prickly cactus, the chances are that your teeth would not be long enough! Imagine sticking you head down into a brittle bunch of cactus arising out of hot sand and nipping off a leaf or so for your evening meal! A sore mouth! Laps all pricked! The roof of your mouth all scratched and bleeding! Now a cannel has very long teeth for the very good reason that he can and must push upon a small and self-propelling vegetation of the desert. Had he short teeth like a horse should be colliged to fight a duel every time he desired instance for the thorny vegetables of the trackless wastes are not sweetly complaisant. At it, he chews a not too jucy cactus leaf with his hips far distant, and the material is reduced to a harmless mass before the mode of his mouth is called upon to do its duty. Any self respecting human being prefers short teeth and more beauty than the camel possesses so he is allowed to eat short and short foods. There are many industries which is more important: people cannot substitute upon its neatty supply of vegetables. Every one should have food without feet. I classify food without feet as all foods which come from plants which are anchored in the soil. Pumpkin pie is originally that sort of food. Fruits cereals and all such are so classified, but particularly the green vegetables, are not. How many people get fruit for breakfast and dinner? Cereal for breakfast and in the胃 of bread stuffs for lunchme? How many of you eat at least one green vegetable for luncheon? How many of you eat at least one green vegetable for dinner added to and supplementing the potato? Could you do? Such are the foods without feet and—miserful—without teeth of their own. The thirty-nine tenants living in the apartment house at 103- to 109 West 141st street, who were served disposals, notices by "The 109 West 141st street. Corporation," as landlord, carried the case into the 7th District Court, and after a five-days season before Judge Robert B. Browne brought in a verdict in favor of the tenants more than an hour of deliberation. The landlord corporation was formed last fall, and has ministers, lawyers, doctors, schoolteachers, maids, janitors, and various other characters, among its stockholders, who bought stock in proportion to the number of rooms they leased in the building. The corporation was formed under the co-operative ownership llan, whereby entire stock of the property, holders of all apartments were leased to stockholders for personal, exclusive and permanent occupancy, to begin immediately upon termination of any tenancy of the apartments leased by them. Arthur L. Donnally was elected president of the corporation, which had been organized under the laws of the state of New York, and the corporation was represented in court by James B. 161; 2376 Sventh avenue. The original stockholders who signed the incorporation order to, Mr. Miller, stockbroker who bought the building for the corporation, the sum of $0,000, to make the initial payment. The building is a quadruple apartment house at 103, 105, 107 and 109 West 141st street, and has forty-two apartments, ranging in size from three to six rooms, and for which stockholders paid from $0 to $500. Names of the present tenants are Brown, Ballen, Bryner, Baker, Comfley, Cyril, David, Davis, Eycamille, Forcey, Grandier, Gerard, Henley, Heiolier, Hyland, Hollinsworth, Lleuag, Milley, Mossy, Myers, McBriar, McDain, Palmer, Procher, Plant, Reed, Robinson, Randall, Satterwhite, Steber, Scott, Shaw, Winfield Williams, and Angelina Anderson, the principal defendant. The petition of the corporation was issued March 3 by the landlord corporation, after they had issued written notices to the various tenants giving them thirty days' notice before their leases expired that the landlord, meaning the shareholders in the new company, elected to terminate said tenancy, and unless tenants removed from production or before the first of the month would content themselves proceeding under the terms of tenancy therefrom. In the case of Mrs. Angela Anderson, her lease expired February 28, and, like the other tenants, she remained without permission of the landlord. She and the other tenants were defended in court by a lawyer, from the firm of Feinstein and Rosenberg. 1540 Broadway. Among the shareholders in the new stock company were single young, men and women; elderly people who owned homes, and some who owned out of town. Most stockholders drew their money from saving banks and postal saving department and paid cash from their shares. On young lady, who paid three hundred dollars for her share, the attorney for the tenants she had money in three banks. Another single girl, who bought a six room apartment, told the attorney for the defense that she had been giving her uncle her wages to save for four years. Still another young single woman, who bought an apartment, told the attorney for the tenants on direct examination that she had aged parents and a small brother and sister down in Alabama and that she was going to use the apartment for a home and take care of the family. One single young man said that he was engaged to be married and had bought an apartment to prepare a future home for his wife and himself. A married man, who had bought an apartment, was asked how many were in his family, and replied that three were five. When asked how many children he replied that there were four children. When asked to explain, he told the court that he had not counted himself. The plealedge told him that the husband doesn't count in a family anyway. Among those who are named as stockholders in "The 109 West 114th street Corporation" are Helen Jones, Lanie Walker, Rosa Lee Pinkney, Catherine Smith, Edwin Moore, Lester Taylor, Gerald Taylor, Pauline Tucson, Daniel Lena Miller, William Graves, Jack Tecreter, Thomas Brooks, and Blanch Butler. The business transactions were carried out by the law of Dyett, Hall and Patterson, 2305 Seventh avenue, Mr Dyett drew up the articles and prepared the certificate of incorporation which was signed by forty-two persons. The plea of the tenant's attorney was that the tenants were not sold or that the entire stock of the landlord corporation was not completely sold at the time of the institution of the petition to gain possession of the premises. It was further argued by the attorney for the defense that the tenants did not desire the apartment for their personal, exclusive and permanent occupancy. In summing up the case the defense attorney charge certain persons with buying up apartments under the names of single men and young women for the purpose of speculation and called it a grave injustice to throw out thirty-nine tenants. Mr. Allfill, counsel for the corporation, said that "This would be a very queer world; if people could not look ahead and prepare for the future," Dr. Stark, Dr. Robinson, Robinson, Mrs. Conway, a scold (teacher; Mrs. Robinson, another, school teacher; Mrs. Dyett, sister-in-law to Counselor Dyett, and the school shareholder, had all bought stools in the buildings in good faith and that they were "organized on faith and the cooperative ownership, plan: just the same as the building at 1758-Rifth avenue and other, buildings. He also stated that the building had cost $120,000, and was one hundred percent - sold at the time the disposes notice, were served on the present tenants. He further explained that three of the original share holders had been relieved of their obligations and their shares had been subscribed for and the amount paid in by others. The judge, in charging the jury, said that there was no question about the organization of the company, for, the apartments had been allotted in accordance to the law. The jury must determine as to whether or not the witnesses who had testified in the case had had authority, in the character and quality of evidences and the general surroundings in the case. When the jury of six men (the regular number used in such cases) returned a verdict in favor of the tenants, Mr. fill, attorney for the corporation, made a motion to have the verdict set aside, but the judge here agreed. In the meantime, the tenants are in possession of their apartments while the decision of the judge is pending. Merrymakers' Dinner Dance A Fine Affair "That was the prettiest affair that I've been this year." That was the consensus of opinion about the twenty-fifth annual dinner dance of the Mercy Makers Social Club, given at the Laurel Gardens on East 116th street on Thursday, April 30. The hall was beautifully draped. Adding to the various colors o the decorations, were the caps which were distributed to the guests. Dancing started early at the garden. At the end there was a grand march, after which the members had their pictures taken as a broup. Then another, grand march, this time to the dining room. It was here that the big surprise was sprung. The tables were decorated with flowers. In the center of each table was a bouquet of roses, carnations and sweet peas. The dinner itself consisted of a chicken dinner elaborately served. During the course of the dinner, the guests were entertained by Ruby Mason, blues singer, and an orchestra. The singing of Miss Mason went over big with the diners. After the dinner, dancing was once more resumed, until to the sorrow of the dancers, "Home Sweet Home" was played. Once more we most say that we will pretty like dance. Office and private dance of the Club are: M. L. Perkins, president; Dan Reingold, vice-president; John A. Ross, secretary; Riffert Hernandez financial secretary; and John M.

Nail, Realtor, That Negro Churches Should Not Erect Costly Structures Until Income Endowments Are Secured The church is not a commercial enterprise, and its character and purpose would be destroyed if it subordinated the spiritual interests in a "sordid quest of mammon," declared the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, West 58rd street, in his evening sermon on Sunday, May 3, which was devoted to a caustic review of the utterances attributed to John E. Nail, senior member of the real estate firm of Nail & Parker, in an address on Sunday, April 19, before the monthly forum of the Pullman Porters' Association. Mr. Nail, in his speech, declared that Negro churches should not, as a rule, erect such magnificent and costly structures as they are doing at present, unless some substantial form of income-raising investment is first made. He emphasized that mention by advancing the argument that Negro churches, in putting up such expensive buildings, 'are a constant burden upon the congregations, and that these bodies are ill able to carry the heavy load. St. Philip's P. E. Church in Harlem, with its accredited real estate investments of approximately $1,000,000, was cited by Mr. Nail in New York City which was able to maintain and operate a church plant of such mammoth proportions, with so heavy running expenses. Not A Church Expert Dr. Hayes paid a compliment to Mr. Nail's ability in the real estate field, but declared tait in matters relating to the church the realtor could not qualify as an expert. The minister declared that the church is "a great spiritual institution," chartered under divine authority, and definitely committed to the specific business of establishing the Kingdom of God in order to that the churches rendering the greatest Service are not those with rich endowments or extensive realy holdings. But this service does come, said he, from "those that make a high privilege, and that keep the streams of generosity dulplotted by selfishness and indifference." The sermon allured the congregation. At its conclusion, a motion was made by James H. Johnson, president of the board of trustees, that The New York Age be asked to proclaim the New York Age to the people it might have the same opportunity to read the church's side of the question as had been given to Mr. Nail's address. This motion was seconded by many of the congregation. Pastor Was Commended Another of the congregation, Miss Emma J. Williams, for many years a teacher in the schools at Gloucester, Va., now retired, congratulated Dr. Hayes on the fact that he had taken up the assertions made by the real estate man and given reply to them. She said she had hoped and prayed that some one of the church representatives would rise in defense of God's church and refute the specious arguments advanced by Mr. Nail Many others added their word of congratulation. Dr Hayes' sermon is given in full as follows. Florida Circle Gave A Paper Dress Dance At Renaissance Casino A real lovely dance was the second annual paper dress fashion revue entertainment which was given by the Florida Circle, No. 1, at the Renaissance Casino, Wednesday evening, April 29. One interesting feature of the affair was the fact that every one of the mankins taking part in the entertainment designed her own costume. Characters in "The Land of Flowra" were portrayed by Bertha Chapman, Lenora Davis, Midred Stewart, Eva Garrett, Ethel Edwards, Grace Whitfield and others. Little Doris Smiley, as "A Butterfly," and Wilhelmine Ferguson as "An American Beauty," were too cute to mention. Edina Robinson as "Youth," and Ince Smiley as "A Rose" were very easy essence of springtime as nominees for the 2014 holidayberry gown as "June" Louise Farmer as "Springtime" and George Ferguson as "Mr. Tulip" and several other models deserve especial mentioning. Music was furnished by Sam Paterson's Orchestra, Ms. Maume L. Anderson-Praat of New York and Florida, and the Florida Playhouse. E. L. Holden was the flower manager. Bradhurst Rep.

Nail gives his observations with reference to church buying and building operations as promoted by Negro congregations. In this article Mr. Nail declares it to be a mistake for a Negro congregation to purchase or build a beautiful and massive church office, unless it has first invested money, some other form of income-producing property. He then proceeds to illustrate his point by citing the St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal Church as an example. "Mr. Nail is without question one of our threwdest and most successful business men, and his opinions merit the closest and most careful consideration. I should hesitate to challenge his judgment on matters relating to his particular field; but when he presumes to speak on matters relating to the Church, then I venture to suggest that he is invading a field in which he cannot qualify as an expert. Great Spiritual Institution "The Church is primarily a great spiritual institution, chartered under divine authority, and definitely committed to the specific business of establishing the Kingdom of God in the earth. The Church has never been authorized to engage in commercial pursuits as a means of financing its program. It destroys the character and violates the fundamental purpose of the church to subordinate its material values to the needs of mankind. The history of the church throughout the ages refutes the assertion that a materialistic foundation is essential to its highest growth and expansion. The largest and most useful churches in the world today were built and are being maintained by the prayers and sacrificial gifts of loyal Christian men and women. My observation has been that, as a rule, the most serviceable churches are not those that have rich endowments or extensive holdings in the state of investments; but rather those that make provision for prayer and faith; that exalt Christian giving as a high privilege, and that keep the streams of generosity unpolluted by selfishness and indifference. Hazards In Materialism "I do not deny that some few churches have apparently succeeded by turning aside to engage in money-making, but I wonder if they would not have enjoyed a far greater measure of success if the emphasis had been placed on the spiritual rather than the material things. There are certain inevitable hazards which must be assumed by every organization, the church included, that enters the field of speculative enterprises. The question is, Can the Church afford to risk its influence as a spiritual force in the community by holdly entering all hats of those organizations whose sole purpose is to serve its highest mission by becoming an active competitor in the world of business? Was the Church called into existence to go into business, or to furnish the spiritual ideals on which all worthy business should be founded? Is the Church to be a servant of God or of mammon? "I agree with Mr. Nail that Negro churches in New York City are gently. Will some one be kind enough to mention just one thing that does not cost money in New York?" Is there any one who does not know how to escape the cost of church building or buying today is to remain inactive, and pro- ```markdown ``` gressive, forward-looking tions cannot afford to ad- vicry of watchful waiti Service As Basis. QJ Cost It is well to bear in mind that the worth of an article is not determined by the cost, but rather by the content rendered. It often helps that the cheapest thing in the long run be the leastest. There is no need to cooperative in Harlem today for increased facilities for training. Recent statistics show that only one Negro child in some schools rolled in any Protestant School, and only two out of seven Negro adults belong to church in the City. There are also haps 175,000 Negroes in Harlem and the combined seating capacity of churches is said to be a little more than 20,000. If these figures are accurate, then you can see that every church in the city were crowded in the doors next Sunday, there, would still be let in 150,000 peragon who could choose one of their own churches if they desired so to do. Be concerned that the majority of those who deserved the whole port of all who believe in the influence of religion who act in favor of it. The returns on this kind of an investment will more than pay the outlay, regardless of the imageude. Symbol OF Love For God Then, aside form the course aside form the antepast there are sentiments behind versal desire for elegant par worship which cannot be with a wave of the hand those who undertake to love for and devotion noble a symbol as a church of Bishop Manning has asked to subscribe $15,000,000 to subscribe the completion of Cathedral on Morningside and all classes have been set their contributions The ture of this vast sum of money erective to the ecclesiastical institutions to some I dare lose waste of money; but others this completed Cathedral represent a spiritual concept noble to be thought of in money. Judas complained to the travagance of the woman who brought the alabaster cruise of preconception, but the Master of men pronounced it a most beautiful and praiseworthy competence to pass ask of competence to pass self-sacrifice and love and latiating devotion? Certainly not who never experience the thrill which these noble sentiments bring to the human heart Great Unifyfing Force The Negro Church has been greatest unifying force in the for the past sixty years!

This is an intangible thing we have worked on at Hampton. It is remarkable to see how Hampton has influence this country. The work of the Jeanes Board grew out of the spirit and life of Dr. H. B.

If this taught men to live together in mutual helpfulness one to another, this nation and the world is to fight the enemies of the humpback. If we fight each other, we approve. If we all work together, against ignorance, disease, and other enemies of human life, then the human race will survive." The Hampton Institute chorus of over 800 voices, led by Paige I.

GROWTH OF MISSIONS DURING 20 YEARS IN RHODESIA DISTRICTS Only Two Workers in 400 Sq. Mile Field Now Being Covered By Many Workers The story of the growth of the missionary work of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Rhodesia. Africa, during the past twenty years, the most remarkable in the history of that country, work in foreign lands; in 1904 the now neverable Bishop Joseph Hartzell wrote that he had baptized during that year two young men who had been with the mission five years and, who had given proof of the Christian life. Thirty-five persons were baptized during that year. During the year 1924 according to the reports made to the Board of Foreign Missions in New York, 922 persons were baptized. Three hundred—twenty-time of these were children brought to the mission by native Christian parents: In 1924, the annual report said, "Christianity has touched but little the mature and the aged. The youth are eager for the school and the church. These young, people on becoming Christians have peculiar hardships to face, intensified by the heathen atmosphere of their kraals." Christianity Displaces Preludice In the last report made by the Rev. W. C. Gardner, of Old Umtali, he says, "Today we find the mature and the aged honoring the church, an occasional individual with gray, hair, keeeping the fellowship of the chantry. But of greater significance is the change in the atmosphere of the two hundred kraals and centers where our missionary workers are either stationed or go with the Christian message. Though the followers of Christ are faced with temptation in its peculiar African' forms, a Christian standard of conduct is displacing superstition and fear and many of our brothers within them and beliefs are being abandoned under the 'impact of enlightenment. The now convert finds himself surrounded by those who understand his temptations and are ready to help him." On the Mirewa District of Rhodesia there was only one Methodist missionary twenty years ago. 'Today, there are eight missionaries and fifty-two African pastors and teachers working in the samb territory.' At Old Umtali there are today four schools with an enrollment of 360 pupils. One of these schools is for the training of young men and women from the village marrilde women; and the third is a night school for boys who spend their days on the farm. Printing Press-Set-Up One of the outstanding mission developments in Rhodesia during the past twenty years has been the Methodist Mission Press for which a new building has just been erected and a modern drum-cylinder press installed for book work. Two hundred Christian hymns have been translated, set to music and printed in African dialects. On this press a large number of tracts and booklets have been printed and co-petertures are going out into hundreds of native villages spreading gospel portions and other Christian literature In all Rhodesia the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church has twenty-six missionaries and the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the same denomination has twelve Four native Christians have been ordained as pastors. There are seventy-five unordained native pastors and exhorters. There are 2,500 members of the church in addition to 1,837 baptized children not yet received into the Church. The 114 Sunday schools with a total enrollment 417 pupils. There are 104 churches and seventy-three parishons. The 114 elementary schools enroll 7,683 boys and girls.

MADAM DORO HOBBS BEAUTY EXPERT 224 West 141st Str., New York CONGO MISSIONARY REPORTS TO BOARD RESULT OF 15 YRS. 2 Baptized By Bishop Harzolt in 1904 Bd 1924 Records 922 Convertz Fifteen years ago the Rev. and Mrs. John M. Springer, of Cataract, Wisconsin, opened the first mission station of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the Belgian Congo. For four years they were the only missionaries in a territory 400 miles square. They had one native Christian to assist them in their work. Dr. Springer: that just 'submitted to' the board of Foreign Missions in New York City, a report showing that there are at present twenty-three Methodist missionaries from the United States laboring in this field. They are assisted by forty-four native pastors and xeroteters and by more than fifty native school teachers. There are also a number who have a rudimentary medical practice and conduct the elites in the outlying areas of the country. These native Christian workers were taken into the schools and churches by Dr. and Mrs. Springer when they were children and were trained for the work they are now doing. More than 800 children are enrolled in the Sunday schools of the district. Important Mission Stations Today there are 'important mission stations at Ellisbethville, famous, for its copper spoders; at Panda, where the copper and uranium 'mines have brought together, several thousand natives and Ruropeans; at Kabengo; at Kantanga in the heart of '125,000 native population; and at, Sandra and Kambove, new 'central' mission station located near Kamene, near Kinda, By, the 'Rey; Roy S. Smyres, a new missionary in the Congo field. This station will specialize in the advanced training of the Christian native workers of the territory. Dr. Springer is, probably the best known Methodist missionary in Africa today.

Dr. Samuel Gurney, a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who spent twenty years as a medical missionary in this part of Africa, was compiling a hospital building in Nxadir when he was struck ill and died last summer. Since then his collaborers have completed this medical center. The hospital has been placed out in a center of native population away from white settlements. It has been made center for some thirty out-stations where missionaries, teachers, pastors and natives labor. The nearest white settlements are the towns of Mwewa and Mtoko. These towns, 40 miles apart, are connected by a fine road for automobiles. The hospital was ten miles away from this main road and no measure did it become for the life of both the white and the native population that the government rebuilt a new road to connect the towns, going around by way of Nxadir. The government, in fact, spent a large sum of money to move the road to the hospital. Dr. Stanley R P. Montgomery and Mrs. Montgomery, of Toronto, Canada, are now enroute to Rhodesia, where they will be in charge of this hospital built by Dr. Gurney. They will be the only medical practitioners among several hundred thousand native peoples dependent upon mission agencies for medical relief. Dr. Montgomery has just completed a term of internship in the Staten Island Hospital, of Tompkinsville, New York.

Says she: "At most social functions. Prohibition is put under the table and liquor on the tap, and whether to fall in with the krowd and drink is a question that puzzles a lot of us girls. The first thing the usual male escorts do at one of these affairs is to ask: 'What will you have to drink?' We if insist on something like ginger- or soda o'r friends poke fun and call old men a fool. We insist on the pain we with almost invariably urges us to have just a little wine, or some brand of cocktail that he says is 'a baby drink.' "Now we don't want to do intoxicants, but neither do we want to seem out of date, and like a wet blanket at a party, so we wcud like to hear from some of the readers of this section on the question." THERE'S-ONLY ONE ANSWER TO THE WHOLE QUESTION: "DON'T DRINK AT ALL." Somebody's said, "when liquor is in, wit is out," and that old-Biblical reminder that "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whoseover is deceived, thereby is not wise," holds as much wisdom to-day as it did when it was said, for liquor has not changed in its action and effect from that time to this extent to become more deadly. At various affairs you see young girls taking one drikh after another, and you wonder where those stumbling-feel will carry them. So long as a girl has, her wits about she can make good her host that she can make good her guest who she paired liquor into her mouth which takes away her reason, she is as helpless as an infant. Women who work with fallen girls will tell you that drink usually commenced their downfall. Often the girls will claim that the stuff was drugged; but the cold bare fact remains that if there had been no drink, there could have been no drugging. Nor is there any need to put knockout drops in liquor, because it in itself will deliver the knockout blow for women. Girls are wise to stick to soft drinks, and the straight path, instead of staggering off into a downward course, for when a man has evil designs against a girl the first thing he usually does is to ply her with liquor; its action is deadly, and with befuddled brain, and inflamed senses she is an easy prey to his villainy. A glass of cold water before you in a public place is a certificate of character to every eye that may see it. Every one who sees it pays a passing triumph to that girl as a clean living, clear thinking, well-readened young woman who know how to take care of herself. The girl with the liquor is under suspicion. If a girl drinks men are ready to believe her capable of any weakness or folly, and if she could know how they discuss her behind her back she would be effectually cured. What holds good in the way of character in your home town, holds good in New York. Men Don't Play Fair. Girls should remember that most men fail to play fair with them. A man will spend hours trying to persuade a girl to do very things that he will despise her for doing. Women have pity on the weakness of a man who drinks too much, and a wife often clings to a drunken husband, but men seldom have pity on a drunken woman. They kuck her into the gutter, and the husband of the drunken wife doesn't weep over her. He gets a divorce from her. Don't try to do as the men, girls, the consequences for you are heavier. Just go to the Women's Court for a day and see who hears the shame, humiliation and punishment for crime, usually the result of liquor, and you will find it is the girl. She stands alone before the judge for sentence, and the man, just as guilty as she is, doesn't even have to argue in court. Alcohol is a poison to women. If robs them of their beauty quicker than anything else in the world. It makes them the easy prey to their own weaknesses and of the hassess of evil men. It ruins a girl body and soul. Men who respect you will not urge you to drink. If a man will not take you out because you will only take soft drinks. thank God for you escape from him, and from company that would ruin you and then say you shouldn't have been so forish. Pertinent Comment At the Fifth Avenue Restaurant, 24th street and 51st avenue, last Friday evening, "Opportunity" magazine, published by the National Urban League, and edited by Charles S. Johnson defied the K.K. with a dinner to a mixed group of some three hundred souls composed of writers would-be writers, artists and ordinary mortals absorbing atmosphere and food. The affair was an intellectual as well as a gastronomical treat. It was staged "An Award Dinner of Opportunity's First Literary Contest. It would have been the saliva of others. Kikker who might perchance have strained in Arts And Letters Represented It was worth the dinner charge just to hear Prof. John Erskine of Columbia University who acted as chairman. He is a man big in size and evidently in thought. Mr Clement Wood, the distinguished poet, seemed at a loss to the proper way to refer to a colored woman. He first said "Negrets" the rhyme marked that he would not doubt be called to task by some Harlem journal, he thought "race lady," which apparently appealed Hope Day Nursery The 23rd Annual May Entertainment of Hope Day Nursery was held last Friday evening at New Star Casino.

Make, like a song! As you go along Keep smilling at trouble, for trouble's a bubble. And bubbles will soon go way! With never a sadness, and nothing but gladness We'd weary of life in a day! Be like the violets that doze'neath the chill winter anns: chill winter shows; They bravely wait for th May} So keep smiling at trouble, for trou- ble's a huhhle. And bubbles will soon go way! Keep away! By Al Jolson and B, G. DeSylaz, (Copyright, Harms, Publisher) Beauty Hints Well kept hands mark the woman of refinement. The beautiful hand of woman has been an inspiration to others in many ways. The hands should never be neglected and allowed to become old looking and teal-worn. For the woman who must wash dishes twice a day and have her hands in soapy water quite often it is wise to always rinse them in water containing lemon juice. The acid in the lemon neutralizes the lye in the soap and softens the hands immediately. If no lemon juice is convenient, use vinegar instead. A large cake of unscented hath soap is excellent for washing dishes and protects the hands from redness, roughness and coarseness. Rubber gloves are still better if one does not mind the bother of putting them on and off. In dusting or sweeping canvas gloves may be used to prevent your hands from becoming hardened. After cleansing the nails, push back the cuticle with an orange stick. Keep the nails of even length, and use a file to give them a rounded shape. Or retiring at night cover the nails generously with a bleaching lotion and wash a pair of loose-fitting gloves to wet. With regular care and attention your hands will acquire a holiness quite beyond your expectations. The following is a good lotion to keep the hands white and supply 3 glycerone, juice of one lemon, 3 drops carbic acid. Shake well.

The reasons assigned for this action are the refusal of the city authorities to take over the hospital as a city institution and the inability of the present management to erect a separate building for the nurses, to comply with an order from the State Hospital Board. The result of the closing of Lincoln Hospital will be to leave, half of the Borough of the Bronx without ambulance service, it is claimed, by those who know the value of the public service this institution has been giving the city, without adequate return. The statement is made that the allowance made by the city for the treatment of free patients failed to cover the actual cost by home forty per cent. The result was that the hospital has been giving free treatment to city patients at a serious loss to itself from a financial standpoint. The refusal of the Board of Estimate to take over the hospital for city purposes was based on the report of Dr. McGrath, head of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, who alleged that the Lincoln plant was so antiquated that the city would have to spend over a million and a half dollars to put it into proper condition and build the nurses' home so urgently needed. The main building was pronounced in dilapidated and neglected condition and veritable fire trap." He suggested that the city might better spend the money in building a new hospital. This may all be true, but it is not apparent to the casual visitor, even if he is inclined to view the buildings critically. It will be remembered that when the new hospital was opened twenty-seven years ago, the plant was pronounced the acme of perfection for hospital use. A representative of the city who was present at the opening, asserted that the buildings and equipment far exceeded in fitness anything that the city possessed in the hospital line at that time. The city was probably improved its facilities in the intervening period and the Lincoln plant may have deteriorated with the intensive use given it in rendering city service, but it may not be beyond revival at much less expense than the figures quoted. Its location at 141st street and Concord avenue is unsurpassed, covering several city blocks with plenty of light and air. It would be a serious mistake for the city to permit the closing of this hospital and ambulance service for the territory which it now serves. It should be kept in operation as a city institution until a new hospital is provided. Perhaps a further survey of the present buildings and the facilities for improving and extending them on the present site, will show that their possibilities for future use have been underestimated. The people of the Bronx when this institution has served so efficiently during the past quarter century should impress this view of the situation upon the city authorities. The interest of the colored citizens of New York in this institution is due to the fact that it was originally founded for their special benefit in 1839, when it first gave shelter as the Colored Home from a little house on Murray Hill. Broader space was later secured at Sixth fifty street and Second avenue, until the removal to the Bronx. The development of the home into a hospital was accomplished by the establishment of the nurses training school offering a three years course to young colored women which now numbers over one hundred nurses. There are some fifty-six inmates in the home department, which it is proposed to continue as a distinct institution. The Lincoln Home and Hospital has a record of long and useful service to the race and to humanity behind it. If ways and means can be devised to continue its useful career, with a broader policy directing its functions it would undoubtedly prove of increased value to the community.

INTER-RACIAL COOPERATION Every Southern State was said to have been seventh annual meeting Every Southern State, except Oklahoma, was said to have been represented at the seventh annual meeting of the Commission Every Southern State, except Oklahoma, was said to have been represented at the seventh annual meeting of the Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, held last week at Atlanta Ga. Although the number in attendance at the three day sessions did not exceed seventy-five, the personnel of the gathering constituted a fair cross section of the best leadership of the South, representing both races. There were several bishops of the leading Negro churches, educators of both races and leaders in work among wo- Among the women present, the chairman of the South Carolina state committee was described as a real Southern aristocrat of the finest type, who has carried the interracial message to many of the leading white colleges and to other organizations. Another woman delegate, from Texas, who reported the activities of the inter-racial committee in dealing with tense situations, one of which threatened a double lynching, organized and for some years headed the Texas League of Women Voters. The interest manifested by this class of women in stimulating this movement for the right adjustment of racial relations is one of the most hopeful signs of the situation. The condemnation of the practice of lynching by many groups of influential women in all the Southern States was regarded as one of the results of the interest taken by members of that sex in the cause of race relations. This factor was aided by the increase in outspoken codenmation of lynching, both in public speaking and in the press. The publicity director of the commission reported a general use of the press service instituted by that body, clippings being in evidence from some four hundred and fifty papers, with a circulation estimated to exceed ten millions of readers. This service goes to all white dailies in the South, to leading religious papers of the whole country and to all the colored press, as well as occasionally to special class publications, such as labor, educational, women's interest, etc. This shows the wide scope of activities covered in this movement. Various plans were considered for increasing the effectiveness of the work of the organization, which were turned over to appropriate committees for practical development. The enthusiasm manifested by the gathering in pursuing the objects aimed at by the organizers of the movement and the reports of improvements affected in many sections, constituted a sound argument for the usefulness of the organization and the extension of its activities. The Inter-Radish Commission as at present constituted is a leavening force in the South, spreading the stimulating doctrine of sanity and common sense in dealing with the rights and duties of both races, in their relations to each other. A DIFFERENT AFRICA A white missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church writing from the Congo, noted a vast difference in the Africa of the present from the one of twenty years ago, singular to relate, the changes that have followed the introduction of Western civilization are not all accounted for the better by his messenger of Western religion. We quote her letter: A white missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church writing from the Congo, noted a vast difference in the Africa of the present from the one of twenty years ago. Singular to relate, the changes that have followed the introduction of Western civilization are not all accounted for the better by this messenger of Western religion. We quote her letter: Every week the white population of Panda turn out to see the same movie films that you may have seen in America, and I sadly admit that the most of them are far from being morally uplifting On the streets one sees white ladies and black maidens dressed alike in the latest fashion. This week, at a quiet afternoon tea, one of the ladies mentioned that the hats she had ordered from Paris had not yet arrived O, yes, we are very up-to-date even to a lack of morals. It would be very enlightening to know how many white people there in this place do for man and wife that really have legal partners elsewhere in the world, so that marrying is out of the question. Nor can we delude ourselves into thinking that the simple native does not know these things and that he still believes the whites to be gods. Nay, the native in these towns knows far more than we ever can know. He lives with these people and works in their homes, and what he doesn't know about them isn't worth knowing. The fragrant examples of drunkenness and immorality have their effect most emphatically on the native population. But we are glad to say that there are many of the natives constantly coming to us and saying, "I am tired of living in sin and wickedness and I want to turn to God." And turn they do by the scores and hundreds. And that is what makes missionary life endurable, and that only Neither motor cars nor good, comfortable houses, nor plenty of food including ice cream would mitigate the discouraging conditions. But feeding these hungry souls does not only mitigate the needs that makes us joyously happy that we are here. Of course there are also not a few decent white people who lead respectable lives, along and pray that the aggregate number and the side of these others. And we devoutly wish proportion of these shall increase. "This epistle recalls a passage from "Baucala," by Rene Maran, the French writer, who when the native African chief lay dying from the blow of a panther's claw, depicted him as "for the last time, in his delirium, he told over all the things he had against the whites—their lying, their cruelty, their logicality, their hypocrisy." The dying chief mused on. This epistle recalls a passage from "Batouala," by Rene Maran, the French writer, who when the native African chief lay dying from the blow of a panther's claw, depicted him as "for the last time, in his delirium, he told over all the things he had against the whites—their lying, their cruelty, their illogicality, their hypocrisy." The dying chief mused on. There were neither Blandas nor Manjias, neither whites nor blacks. There were nothing but men. And all men were brave, their war wrong to steal and fight with one's neighbor. War and savagery were one and the same thing. But the whites actually compelled the blacks to take part in their savagery—to go kill for them in palaces in tanay lands. And if a black protested, they put a rope round his throat. whipped him with shouted whips, threw him into prison. The similarity of testimony from such dissimilar sources, showing that the natives of Africa no longer regard the whites as gods, infallible and omnipotent, is significant of the changes impending in the Davis Continent. The fact that the Prince of Wales faced a native boycott on his visit to South Africa, as a protest against the ruthless killing of five natives by the police at Bloemfontein, showed that native sentiment is aroused to an unusual pitch of resentment against injustice. The African Native National Congress, in its session at Johannesburg, decided in view of the "Blomfontein massacre," to refrain from participation in the celebration in connection with the royal visit. The northern coast of Africa is also undergoing a change. The Moors, having expelled the Spanish forces from Morocco, have moved against the French, with the view of ending the French occupation and making Morocco an independent sovereignty. Truly there is considerable difference between the Africa of today and that of twenty years ago. AMIABLE BUT NOT CONVINCING The explanation made by Editor Charles S. Johnson of the considerations that prevailed in selecting the judges for the Opportunity literary contest, printed in last week's issue of The Age, was amiable in tone but not convincing in the reasoning set forth. Editor Johnson generously recorded his admiration of all the persons mentioned in The Age editorial, "who with perheps two exceptions are known to this magazine and whose abilities have never been questioned." He said further: 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 attempt a racial balance just for the sake of evidencing self-esteem. For short story judges we attempted to get the most outstanding short story written and edited by Negroes. An amplification 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 critic of poetry is Mr. Braithwaite. He was asked, but for personal reasons could not serve. Another is James Weldon Johnson. He is 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, and in the case of the others mentioned, we confess, apologetically, that their work is not known to us. That apologetical confession that "their work is not known to us," may explain the whole situation. That is another weakness our racial institutions and the men who on them, that they do not know the work the men and women of the race who have brought in the same field. It should be part of the education of all of our sociological experts to familiarize themselves with the efforts of those who have preceded them similar lines of endeavor. Editor Johnson considers that through the selection of judges along the lines specified "the supreme American standards" would be applied to the stories submitted byiegroes. That does not follow as a logical sequence. We have seen not a little the lowering of literary standards by professional critics, when it came to the point of judging a play or a story by a Negro writ. To some of these critics, it appeared so wonderful that any literary composition could manate from such a source, that the crudest product devoid of real merit, was pronounced masterpiece. This tendency has somewhat abated in the presence of real literary achievements by our writers of the present day, although an example of it was lately ennished in the indulgent comments of the cities on what was called "an up-to-the-minte story" by a boy novelist. Besides showing a belief in the critical capacity of the race itself the selection of one half of the judges from the ranks of those who have nursed and developed the budding literary ventures of the race during the past quarter of a century, would have insured the holding of the high standards of literary excellence that such a contest should mainin. While our appreciation of Editor Johnn's amability is undiminished, we regret that he attempted to apply our reference to the agency of the press and the pulpit as essential in securing racial support for our social welfare movements, as relating to a literary contest. It looked too much like seeking to muddy the waters of debate, and failed to convince us of the sincerity of his previous arguments.

The Monitor, in its issue of April 29, devoted an editorial to the propriety of according this honor to an ex-slave, voicing the belief that few, if any, among those Americans who are familiar with the history of the country during the years preceding and immediately following the abolition of slavery will open the plant of further end Surely, if moral courage and devotion to a worthy cause,疆域 will not only be such recognition, the qualifications have been met.

No Negro has heretofore been proposed for a place in the Hall of Fame. Surely it seems fitting that the honor should be bestowed. It would testify eloquently the genuineness of American democracy. Perhaps it would, likewise tend to make and encourage, as such, a tribute are intended to do, greater unselfish devotion to the course of humanity, everywhere. It is only as humanity is emancipated and redeemed that it is freed from its own sense of bondage and its self-imposed servitude. Among the "Items of Interest" in the Baltimore Herald Commonwealth was a paragraph reading: The difference between talent and genius is that talent gets paid for every Saturday night. Whereas genius, we are led to infer, either strikes it rich in a lump or goes hungry awaiting the realization of its hopes. The Atlanta Post, in a recent issue, made this serious charge: It is reported that there are a few Negroes and white men going over the State selling postoffices under the disguise of spreading Republican propaganda. The State should be freed of this kind of pifering by this class of would-be politicians. Let's make an investigation. The fact that this paragraph was headed, "Republicans of Georgia must be rid of narrow politicians," sounds significant. The tirade of a Southern crusader from Alabama against such evils as booze smuggling and bootlegging, adultery, divorce, Sabbath desecration, etc. moved the Washington Daily American to say: May we suggest to our modern Crusader that he has the opportunity to do a great deal of good in the field in which he finds himself. If he is truly anxious to reform the world, let him start with wiping from his own State the shame of lynching. Let him arouse the conscience of the people surrounding him to the fact that Almighty God cannot be pleased with American harbarians who wash their hands in human blood and feast their eyes on fiery flames licking black bodies of God's own creatures. When ignorant "Christians" of this class essay to preach to the world God's will with impressive gestures of the right hand while the left hand pulls the lynching rope, we are tempted to pray with the lyncher the most famous victim, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." The trouble with this kind of Christians is that they do not class lynching as a crime. Some perversion of moral sense enables them to regard it as involving no infaction of law and justice and requiring no punishment. Commenting on the statement made by President Coolidge in a recent address, that he was not in favor of lifting the ban on foreign immigration, the Chicago Whip said We will not lose our jobs on account of cheap imported labor, there will not be ten men for every job, there will he work for us all over this nation, and that is where and why we will come into our own. When Ellis Island was thronged with thousands and thousands of Europeans and Asiatics before the war it looked dark economically for us, but Congress has restrained the immigration. The new administration, according to Mr. Coolidge, will embrace it, and we, the American defenders, will be the indirect beneficiaries. When the southern cotton fields lay unworked and laid by the holl weevil, when the great mills of New England seek man power and the ranches of the west cry for labor, we will answer We fit into the general scheme of things and "to the manor born." That is where we come in. The nation is headed for prosperity and production, and upon this point all are agreed, but with prosperity and production there will come a general readjustment of affairs, for the nation will gradually get down to pre-war levels, and for this we should be prepared. Our future is in our own hands, and if we can profit from our experience we should surely come into our own. The black laborers of America have always been producers. As producers of cotton, they were instrumental in laying the foundation for the prosperity of the South. They will prove equally capable as producers of heels and grain in the Great Northwest or as mine and metal workers in those industries. All that is needed is an oper field and fair treatment. In announcing the defeat of the Chevey which was regarded as being defeated by the races in Pennsylvania, the Emuladipina Tribute said. It was crushed under the attack of strong men and women. It was unable to stand up under the light of an based unramplied public opinion. It was founded in evil and fostered by The erection of A monument to Douglas in Rochester, N. Y., the town where he made his home after coming North, and the naming of Douglas Square after him in Boston, were referred to an evidence that his greatness was recognized where he was best known. His head was also carved on one of the columns of the State House at Albany, as a tribute to one of New York's most famous citizens. He also served the State as a member of its Electoral College and carried the Presidential vote to Washington. The Inclusion of Frederick Douglas in the Hall of Fame would be a most significant recognition of the qualities of human achievement illustrated in his career. those who think more of personal gain and glory than of the future of their children. The infamous "Jim' Crow Bill" has perished. The forces of segregation are disrupted and are nursing their wounds and licking their bruises. They have been conquered but they are not dead. Already they are planning and scheming for another attack. At the present time their minds are busy devising ways and means whereby they can put their program over. There is no sleeping in the tamp of the enemy. The warriors of right cannot believe the last remains of unequal school advocates go peacefully to sleep under the silent elod. The history of separate schools has Paul Robeson's and Lawrence Brown's Spirituals (From N. Y. *Evening Post*) 15 Feodor Chaliphin were so consummate an artist that he could transfer his dramatic conception of the Russian song, with its emotional heights and Oriental abandon, to the more childlike emotion of the opera *The Song of the Night*. Last night Mr Robeson and Lawrence Brown gave their second concert of the season at the Greenwich Village Theatre and revealed once more their mastery of the songs of their people. They provided for this reporter a thrill as exquisite as the revelation of Chaliphan singing Moussorgsky. For Mr Robeson combines with a gloriously rich and mellow voice a dramatic restrain and power that seem to hold unheard thunder behind each song His spirituals, sung with classic simplicity, have a particular flavor of encompassing some unusual tragedy of the world in forms of a folk song. And while Mr Robeson offered the dramatic foundations for the recital, Mr Brown's sympathetic singing and piano arrangements completed a concert that brought cheer from the Sunday night gathering "Weepin' Mary" and "Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho" reiterated from the first concert, were perhaps the high lights of the evening. A group of songs reminiscent for the vanguardian remixes and early entries in to Tell God All My Troubles" and "Witness" with interesting piano arrangements composed by Mr Brown. Colored Boy's Success (From Brooklyn Daily Times) There are many items in the news that indicate that what was once regarded as a serious problem can, under proper conditions and intelligent democratic methods, cease to be a problem. The Brooklyn Times published yesterday an item of which the following Arthur Waller, 19, a colored senior in the Newtown High School, was elected president at the student body yesterday, defeating William Buch, the school's most prominent athlete, and Henry Westphal an outstanding scholar Buch received only 500 votes and Westphal only 40. Waller received 1,400 votes. Waller, one of 13 colored children among 3,000 boys and girls is on the country, track and baseball teams, head of the advertising department of Antenna, the school monthly, and a debate partner of the Douglas Henry Waller, retired pastor of the Vatican Mysterious Episcopal Church of Elmhurst and lives at 5 Cutler street, Elmhurst. Probably the leaders of the Southern Negroes at the close of the war made an error when they accepted their rights of citizenship in the South as a license to associate with their white neighbors in a way the latter would not tolerate. Unquestionably the reaction among the whites was not such as would mitigate what was called the race problem by migrating to the North and West atmosphere and studied there a new atmosphere and studied in which races attained general respect in alligum which we call America. By education, by self-improvement, by producing poems like Dunbar educators like Booker T. Washington, compers and singers like Burleigh, by producing beautiful basic folk melodies which great composers have elevated to the highest form of American music, by social work involving the improving of homes, the education of the mind and spirit, by accepting such work as was allotted to them and performing it well, by avoiding all un-American movements and giving their best and best blood to the North in the war, to the North in the war, to the aspect of his white fellow citizens to such an extent that in a school in which there are only three colored pupils out of 100, the colored have ever intelligently defeats the most popular white lad in a general recreation election. Here at least is a melting point problem; the good Saturday, May 9, 1935. always meant unequal school loca- tion with the inferior equipment weaker party to the separation. The fight against aggregated school force a fight for equal chance requirement of education. The Indianapolis Freeman, discussing "Crime News and the Papers, said: Just as long as our weekly papers which feature crime and scars, news on their front pages, continue their coverage of crime, other people, then just that long we papers of the group continue to stage the public's desire for class of news. As with other lines of business, it is with newspapers. The drama is the vane that shapes the policy of the organization. Crime, scandal and posse bring in the sheckleks and at that seems to be the demand just now the people are getting it in the form of news in large doses. There is sympathy for that group of clear thinking, far sighted and among us, who deploy the present tendency of the weekly press to seek to operate as dailies, who, forging their mission in the Negro field as museums and champions of the race their rights and ambitions, have turned from their life's work and strained on the fields of greed and racial exploitation. From the present policy of things instead of reading of the best within the group, of its aims and its aspirations, the young idea sees only the southern side, all the fifth of depraved individuals is dished up before their eyes. It makes different differences in the characters are police habitus, buffet fish operators, prostitutes and the mistress of white men masquerading under the called cloak of a fool born society these parasites and cheap gaudy imitators are given a position in life through the medium of publicity, out of all proportion to their real station. Education of the reading public into the taste for better things is advocated as the remedy for this condition and the cohorts of our educators, platform and pulpit orators are appealed to, for the purpose of molding opinion into the right channel. sense of the disturbing factor of which has been settled in a good American way. Congratulations to President elect Waller! We don't think there is any one else attention to which we should call this matter, either than the attention of those who are the offenders, since it is a matter of personal conduct, and not something in which supervisory or disciplinary service is concerned. Hence the thing of which we shall speak has reference to individual behaviour. The something, to which we reefe is the matter in which our porters of the New York district—and it is not two presumptions, we believe, to say that they are the porters of the other large districts of the service—when they congregate at the cashier office to receive their semi-monthly pay check, which is on the first and fifteen of each month. It is a common occurrence, during these periods, for the porters to assemble in large numbers in this office at the same time. There is nothing wrong about that, of course. But to make a place at which to relate the experiences on the railroad, their activity at home, and what they contemplate doing when they arrive at the opposite terminal point, is a matter of personal activity which they should keep to themselves. It is not a case of disclosing an idea of an important character, regarding themselves or their movements that calls us to protest, against conversation. This sort in the financial office of the company by our porters, for it is easy with them, as with all persons who discuss their personal affairs indiscriminately, their individual actions counter to themselves. Still, it is rather easy to some of the porters present as well as annoying to the clerical tense of the office, to hear a running conversation of such thing as, "the last was a very bad one—had a car snakes," "Line so and so is no good," "the new train to St Louis is a read known too numerous to memorize. These expressions are hard enough in themselves, for they have meaning or significance to any butters. Nevertheless, there are more appropriate places at which they might be made than in the cashier's office. This discussion of runs and their quinies around official quarters neither good judgment nor a policy in wheli to indulge. The rangers in the service have found that so they seldom or never do it of the excessive talking that we are planning about it done by the new printers. These printers do anything thing by their incessantness done more in thoughtlessness than thing else, yet, this inadvertent speech is done at the wrong time in the wrong place. Let us hope to see a discontinuity in this practice among our group of age and environment all of us be intelligent enough to know where to keep our months closed. WARNING! Many of the grocery stores butcher shops doing business Harlem are charged with giving customers short weights. It is alleged that in some of the Atlantic & Pacific and the J. W. Burd Stores clerks systematically cheat customers by not giving in weight and by short-changing them. WATCH THE SCALES and insist on getting the quantity paid for. COUNT YOUR CHANGE be sure you get all belonging you. When clerks are caught in the offences, the case should be reported to the proprietors or to the headquarters of the company, regardless of the excuse given by the offending clerk or store manager.

Church Throighs of people attended the services at our church last Sunday morning and evening to hear Dr. N. S. Epps who has recently called to the pastorate that the church was conceived by all present that the church mistake in calling Dr. Epps who is so well known in Harlem, where he organized the great Metropolitan Baptist Church, formerly Mercy Seat, and pastored the same for over 16 years. He was the New York Baptist Herald, which wired the official organ of the New York Colored Baptist State Convention. A number of his old friends from New Jersey, Long Island, and up the State joined in with the great host that prefect the church who were present to prefect the old pastor and it is to be remembered that Dr. Epps resigned from Metropolitan Baptist Church some ten years ago, because of the illness of his wife and at which time the recommended the great pastor and pulpither, Dr. W. W. Brown, who helped the forces in Harlem so efficiently. Mrs. Fannie B. White, who bought the church property in *at* public auction on April 14, at the request of the pastor made a glowing statement to the teller of the auction room, that she was offered $1,000 cash for her mortgage five minutes after she bought the property and since that time she has been offered something over $6,500, and she retain the organ, windows and staircase. She wanted to build a theatre on the site, but she had absolutely refused these offers because she felt that the Lord would have her assist His people in maintaining it for a church. She furiously offered officers, were arranging with an architect to make some alterations to the annex of the main auditorium which if done would mean an additional income to the church of $8,000 to $10,000 a year. After hearing two great setions practiced by the pastor, and the encouraging address by Sister White, who has always proven herself a friend to this work, the great throng of people went to the church and were terminated to make this one of the greatest church centers in Harlem. Rendall Memorial Church Rev. Augustus E. Bennett of Princeton, N.J., was both thoughtful and eloquent in his discourse at the 11 a.m. service. He took for his text Revelations 12.1: "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven. The Rev. S. S. Saver of Greenville, N.J., gave a lecture at the evening service" Mother's Day will be appropriately observed this coming Sunday at the morning service. Dr. Lawton will speak at 8 p. m. St. James Pres. Church "The Church's One Foundation," was the subject chosen by the Rev. B. M. Ward of Rochester, N. Y., who preached at St James last Sunday. Text Matthews 16.18 in the beginning of the Status of Jesus. He expressed belief in the Divine Christ and said faith in Jesus. His divinity is the rock of foundation. The second part of his sermon dealt with the church proper. The church is adequate to all needs and rests upon Divine Christ; Jesus the builder; the owner. It is world wide in extent having the highest quality of the church is superior in quality to all other organizations; the church holds a message divinely inspired. Two members joined the church--Mrs. Nellie Nely 149 West 140th street and Mrs. Emily Green 70 West 132nd street. Rev. Ward taught Bible class and addressed adult division. He was impressed with the splendid organization of the school and manifest interest throughout. An appreciative audience enjoyed a musical and literary program Friday evening directed by Miss Eliseo Ugama, the May party given by Mutual Aid Society, Mrs. G Lloyd, president Mrs. F. E. Thompson, the questioning guest of Messrs. Morgan, Craig and Merritt was excellent and brought forth applause upon applause Mesdames Cora G Hidge and Mr. Carter and Miss Hessang sang wonderfully. The readings from Dun bar by Madam F. C Taylor kept the audience laughing. The own program by another two selec- tors of the program was well balanced with classical, Spirituals and Japanese songs. The Christian Endeavor continues its very interesting program every Sunday evening. One noteworthy incident was the winning of a prize by a class of girls in the intermediate class at Mary Bower, a teacher of this group. The story of the winning of this prize was told very effectively by little Miss Minot, president Whitener is jubilant over the achievement. The church joins with him. James will make a contribution to Petrobras Hospital Fund next Sunday. The $250 salary is well under way. A month of intensive campaign- Where To Go To Church Burton Second Seventh Day Adventist Church "Up from the majority of the Scripture, I deny the claim that human life has always existed," said pastor Strachan last Sunday night. "And pastor Strachan last Sunday Day Adventist Church, 105-106 Wet 127th street. The pastor was disregarding upon the theme,—The Origin And Destiny Of Human Life." "Sparking further the pastor said: 'I may not be in the claim, may not be in the claim, philosophical speculations regarding the origin, nature, and destiny of beings; but when I say, six thousand years ago man dropped from the hands, of his never having existed before in any form, I am backed up by the unverifying testimony, of the Holy Scriptures." Darwin and Hurley were not the first to dispute the insisted testimony. The devil was the first being to declare that he could live lived and, always well live. He persisted lived and always live that she could not accept the Divine testimony and retain a high degree of intelligence over this matter. The modern university insists upon for millions of years we have lived this life this time one time—it alms, we were loated in the flames of a molten mass, and yet not destroyed. Next we calmly rested in some frozen cell at the poles. Finally, after millenniums of years, we down streams with the melted ice and the frozen freedom in some warm gutter. And from the ameba in the gutter we came up through a long line of bug, frog and monkey ancestors. "Others may find comfort in believing that we give no special delight.

Cullen, the pastor, officiated *morning and evening*, administering the *sacrement* to over seven hundred communicants. The sermons were selected as being especially appropriate for the communion service. The morning was about faith. Peter's experience on the Sea of Galilee as narrator of the sermon gave him a pastor an opportunity to discuss faith as an indefeensible quantity in the christian religion. A *faltering faith* he asserted often turns an immigrant victory into a defeat. He emphasized that Christ bids each of us to day to come heart of faith we can listen to the heart of uncertainty sustained by the confidence that Christ is ally to hold us. The First Sunday service at the Lycetum was well attended. Marnie Taylor, the chaplain, lead in the discussion of the topic "Strong Conviction in the life of Daniel," Mrs. Lute Walle and W. McKinley Wongs sang solos. For the evening consideration Rev. Cullen talked about the manifestations of religion. This topic was taken from Nicodemus conversation with Christ. The theme of religion, it was explained, is to give way to form of expression of this touch. This expression varies with different people yet we are not to mistake the manifestations for the thing itself. For one to claim to be intelligent demands that must be met, we must continue. Even the civilization ligna on its highest expression requires a personal equipment of Christian virtues.

In the course of his remarks 'he urged them no make-up for their ignorance, but to shun vigorously the alluring temptations of youth that are so harmful to their moral and religious fib. In response these young people pleaded them to join the prayer service in the焰筏 theater service of the Prof. Nelson Williams, secretary of the Harlem League, of the Federation, of Churches, one of the invited guests, expressed his adoration for the young people, fine spirit of the young people, adding that it was all, due in no small measure to the fact that Rey. Cullen mastered the key to the heart of his young people. First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock service Sunday, morning, Pastor Baldor preached from the following text: "Aasd many other signs in the presence of his disciples, what he book: But these are, writes that, might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. So he came, "Everlasting life through believing," name of our Lord Jesus (Christ the Eternal). Pastor Bolden said: That this verse is the key to the fourth gospel and the purpose of St. John's writing. The words of the text seem to have been spoken after our Lord Jesus the Emanuel had materialized Himself for Thomas, special benefit. In the light of this thought we hold that the recorded signs and takens as to the Messiahship and Divine Sonship of our Lord the Emanuel during His human ministry, and His manifestation-to-Thomas, is the result of the same power; and a full demonstration of the single truth that He is God, the Author and Giver of Everlasting Life. The power of our Lord to materialize and dematerialize Himself at will did not impress John as being any greater importance than the turning of water to wine, healing the impotent man, feeding the five thousand on a few loaves and some fishes, healing the centyrion's son without being present, or raising His friend Lazarus from a grave of death where decomposition had set in. These and a few other signs he records, while many others tell us that our Lord did, which are not recorded by him, in this book. It is interesting to note that while our Lord was in the flesh, following His ministry and teaching, that He rebukeled those who came to Him, asking for help of the time of the Messiah and the kingdom of Heaven; the only times He talked as if He was interest in signs and tokens was on an occasion when He had an opportunity to pome out the sign of Jonah three days of His work for the impurity; the sign of His works for the impurity; the Baptist consolation; and the disturbing conditions, sorrow, calmness and unnatural order in nature as signs of His Second Advent. Each of the signs has to be in them personal touch and touch, and signs John refers to that show personal touch and interest. There is nothing superstitious and questionable, about them. They make known to all, who have Jesus our Lord, was truly Man and was truly God. Was the Word and became Flesh, and dwelt in a human body upon the human plane of life among people. And that He is the perfect, everlasting man; the true believer's brother, the glorious everlasting Father. We who believe in His name, trust in Him, obey Him, vicuously suffer that others may know Him through us; we have life now through Him; and will be given an everlasting body in which we will enlighten us by instilling life with Him. A certain school of preachers and teachers is getting a wide hearing by reducing the miracles of our Lord and the historical things that He did to an outline of categories that would have us to believe in Him only from the viewpoint of the subjective state of the world. We rest the beliefs concerning the Person, our Lord upon individual experience while the most of them would analyze and classify that experience, stamp and tag it according to their judgment of what is true, right, wrong or good. There are other schools of thought that accept cededs and classes of believers to accept cededs and classes of certain groups who have formulated opinions concerning our Lord. John has not asked believers to follow and school of thought. He has picked out certain signs and left them on recite, the Bible, and by him white Jesus Christ our Lord, working and working among the other apostles and himself. He concluded that all that Jesus, did not only revealed that He was the Author and Giver of Everything that the Lord the Jesus, but that those who believed that He would have that life. This statement of John and the work of our Lord supports our Lord's claim. That He came that we might have life and have it more larger pleasure and physical life, alone, larger pleasure and physical life, alone, of love, of goodness, life of holiness, life evermore with God. At 2 p.m., the Sunday school convened. Rev. William H. Hogans concludes the opening exercises. At the close of the study, Rev. Hogans gave a short review of the lesson to the children.

B. A. officials have issued a statement explaining that the new club is in no way, shape or form connected or affiliated with the Lenox avenue body. This statement is made necessary by the fact that many persons have confused the new Colored Vaudeville Comedy Club at 2237 Seventh avenue with the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, which has for a number of years, enjoyed and unsullied reputation and has won a considerable prestige as the gathering place of most of the most prominent and distinguished thespians and artists of the race. The Messrs. Slater have issued the following statement: THE C. V. B. A.-JUST AN EXPLANATION "The Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association was organized May 24, 1909, and is in its 16th year of existence. Prior to the birth of the organization, many attempts had been made towards effecting an organization that would meet the demands of the colored-professional. Finally a few thoughtful minds got together with this goal in view and banded themselves together. As a result we have the now well known theatrical organization, the C. V. B. A., incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. It is, therefore, warranted in protecting itself against any niffering or violation of its rights founded upon the principles of children and merit. It is and has been its purpose to preserve, protect and promote the ideals for which it stands. The C. V. B. A. was never intended to antagonize any other theatrical organization and its heart is big and broad enough to wish everybody success, individually and collectively. It harbors no antipathy towards any similar organization. We believe that our record will bear us out in making this statement. The white vaudeville and theatrical managers are well acquainted with the history of the C. V. B. A., and we trust that whoever gains recognition from this coffe will do so on their merits and not by any other means. We drop this hint, no only for our own protection, but to forewarn unsuspecting victims. We would have it distinctly and positively understood that the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association is not and never was affiliated with any similar organization. The club rooms are located at 424 Lenox avenue, New York City, where members of the profession may drop in to spend a few moments in mental and physical relaxation. We say mental, because discussions pertaining to things' theatrical, as well as current topics of the day, take place; physical in the way of a sociable game of billards or pool. Of course we have our whist champions, while still others spend the time in vocalizing and playing the piano. Professional mail may be sent here and will be given every safe guard "Bob" Slater editor of the Theatrical jottings of The New York Age, and his brother, James A. Slater, are always on the job. At Lincoln Theatre Movie fights always appear to be quick action affairs. However we are told that Tom Santschi and Mitchell Lewis fought for three days to the few hundred feet of their thrilling battle in "Frivolous Sal," J. K McDonald's new First National picture to be shown at the Lincoln Theatre. Thursday the bell rang only for meals and eight-hour sleeping periods. It was necessary to refilm much of the action before finally it satisfied Director Victor Schertinger as to its realism. At the end of the prolonged conflict both actors were utterly exhausted, but the desired effect was obtained. The fight is proclaimed one of the most realistic ever put on the screen. Eugene O'Brien and Mac Bush head the 'cast of' "Frivolous Sal," which unreels a tensely dramatic love story of the early West. Brown Returns From Atlantic City Vacation Brown Returns From Atlantic City Vacation Al Brown, colored flyweight champion and contender for Frankie Genaro and Pancho Villy's titles, has returned from a much needed vacation of three weeks in Atlantic City.

C.—A large and appreciative audience filled the auditorium at State College to witness the performance of "Rip Van Winkle," presented by the senior normal class. This old legend, made famous by Washington Irving in his Sketch Book, was arranged entirely by the class, under the direction of Miss Henderson, teacher of methods. The scenes were well laid. The many and beautiful changes in stage, setting were favorably commented upon by all present. The scene on the mountain side where the crew of little men lured Rip reflected credit upon the class. Mr Phillips of music department arranged the music for the play, and the orchestra, under leadership of Mr. Payson and Mr. Mayson, furnished delightful numbers between the acts. Announcer .....

The final score was 6-1. The lone Cuban tally was forced in by Lee in the first inning. Mesa walked. Fabre singled. Onst sacrificed and Chacon was handed a pass filling the bases. Massip; a newcomer in the ranks of the invaders, proved, to be a godd waiter and Mesa was forced home. After this inning Lee allowed only one hit. Hilldale practically clinched the game in its half of the first inning when two runs were put over on singles by Briggs and Carr, Mackey's double and Judy Johnson's sacrifice fly.

Mr. Henderson & His Five of these numbers were repeated, so insistent was the audience, and after the "Joshua" song had been given twice, there was such a clamor set, up that Mr. Robeson and Mr. Robeson had to sing three more songs, after going to many bows that the reviewer had added numbers were. I know the Lloyd laid His Hands on me and I don't feel noways tired, by the two artists, and Heayln Heaavnl by Mr. Robeson alone. It is quite possible that if the musicians had not been engaged to hasten uptown to take part in the annual dinner and entertainment at the Hotel Astor for the founders of the Actors' Theatre, and so had to jump into a taxi and shoot uptown to keep their engagement, the insistent audience would have kept up their demand for more until the singer and pianist were utterly exhausted. The quality of Mr. Robeson's voice gave authority and color to the interpretation of the music of his people, and his stage experience enabled him to lend to each portrayal something of the spirit and flavor belonging to each song on his program. And it was a wide range he covered, for context, anticipatory doobt, there was any possibility of blonde as any possibility of boredom from monotony. So much of himself did he put into each song, however, that just at the end his voice became a bit hutty from hoarseness, and the last songs were done under an apparent strain. Ap interesting element in connection with the recital was the excellence of Lawrence Brown's arrangements. He attempted little of elaboration, but used a figure composed largely of triads and augmented fifths, occasionally varying the process with an inversion of his chords, seemingly monotonous in their constant recurring, but which were relieved of that fault by their striking contrast, through a constantly changing tonic, affording a contrapuntal shift with itself modulations of the social melody. Mr. Brown's pismatic technique is beyond caevil, and the quality of his voice is so essentially different from that of Mr. Robeson, at the same time being, if anything, even more distinctively raech, as to make the duetistic combination a performance worthy of the most sophisticated ears.

C.—When more than five hundred colored men and women were aggregated in the Washington Auditorium on the accession of a national cast of music or music under auspices of the International Council of Women, on Tuesday night, May 5, two hundred Negro musicians walked off the stage and refused to take part in the program. Under the Hampton Institute choir, under Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett, was present to sing, but when it was discovered that the Negro auditors were all being huddled into the gallery, Dr. Dett phoned Chief Justice William Howard Taft, former President of T. S., who is chairman of the board of the Hampton, and laid the situation before Mr. Taft advised Dr. Dett to use his own judgment, and so the Hampton choir did not sing. Other race organizations were the Amphion Glee Club, the Richmond Treble Clef, the Howard University Glee Club, and Howard University Choral Society. The program was arranged by Miss Halfe B. Brown, Negro Spirituals To Feature Westchester Co. Music Festival One of the outstanding features of the Westchester County Music Festival, which will be held under a large tent auditorium on the Bronx Parkway White Plains on May 14, 15 and 16 will be the singing of Spiritals by a chorus of colored citizens of Westchester County. Rudolph Grant of New York City is conductor for this unit. Mr. Grant is not only a sympathetic director, an accomplished musician with a national reputation. He knows and understands the people with whom he works. He has carefully studied the history of his race and so inspires his singers with his own splendid feeling and understanding of the sorrow and heartache of the past, that they in turn put that whole feeling into their singing and bring home to all who listen the fact that they alone can sing the songs that belong to their race. John D. Rockefeller has made a donation to the Recreation Commission of Westchester County to be used toward recreation for colored people. The Commission has used this sum to secure this director and to establish this activity as a permanent organization. Art present there are about one hundred and fifty voices rehearsing each week. One group meets at Mount Vernon each Monday evening at School No. 1. Second street and Fifth avenue. This unit takes in Mount Vernon and its environs, and visits Nochelle and White Plains. The second meeting is held at School, No. 6, Shiloh avenue. Yorkers on Wednesday evening. This location gives the people living in the Hudson River Valley an opportunity to join the choral. The enthusiasm for this activity has been most gratifying. Every member responds to the direction of Mr. Grant with the most satisfying result of wonderful harmony in the rendition of selections. The county is justly proud of this unit and its splendid co-operation in every way. W. C.

Miss Brown, who formerly was president of the National Redation of Colored Women's Clubs, made this announcement from the stage to an audience which filled the auditorium, and that because of the discrimination not a single-number would be given by the colored singers. This statement was loudly applauded by the large audience, and the five hundred colored people present walked out of the house also. It was stated that in some instances these people were forced to pay $2 for 50 cents tickets, and other colored people who desired to attend, were refused tickets. Mrs. Moore* Moore* confirmed the statement made by Miss Brown, as did Mrs. Mary McLeod, Bethune, present president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. W. Rudolph Dunbar To Study In Paris W. Rundolph Dunbar, the young clarinetist, who graduated in 1924 from the Damroesch Institute of Musical Art, has recently returned to New York after an extensive season with the Will Vodery Orchestra, traveling with Florence Mills and her Dixie to Broadway company. He tells me that he is planning to leave on May 16 on the S. S. Paris frio Havre, France, enroute to Paris, where he will enter the Lecole Super Normal and continue has studies under the famous Lescotes. His present plans contemplate a 5-year absence, which will include a year in Brussels and Germany and a year in London. During this period, in addition to his studies, the young artist, who was the first to present New York music lovers a recital program of serious music for clarinet, will appear in recital and other work. Before leaving for his European stay, Mr. Dunbar will appear in a farewell recital before his New York friends on Thursday evening, May 14, at the W. C. A. auditorium, West 137th street, with Mrs. Hazel Thomas Wilson as his accompanist. Born in British Guiana, South America, Dunbar's parents signed him over to the British Constabulary: Institute, a military musical school conducted by the government, for a period of five years. This is a similar institution to the one formerly run by the Russian government, and to the ones in France and England. Five years of rigorous study, under strict military discipline, prepared the lad for his present development. Finding the 5 year term, he secured an engagement with the SS Caracuet,搏 between British Guiana and Halifax, N. S. After six months, went to the Barbados, in accordance with his father's wish that he should become a lawyer, and signed on as article clerk with a lawyer The music urge was strong, and he mixed his law duties with service as solo clarinetist in the Barbados Police Band. After six months, he followed a long repressed desire, and came to New York eight years ago to further his musical studies. The first two years were spent in taking a preparatory course under the tuition of Charles Ojon, and then he entered Damoschro Institute, taking a five years' course. He made a fine record, and four years of this time was clarinet soloist in the Instrument Band of 90 pieces. He received special mention from Dr. Frank Damrosch, head of the school, and Dr Friskin, director of the orchestral department. He has given six formal concerts in New York City, three being joint concerts, one each with Edwin Loutes, pianist, Charles O'Join and Marie Rodriguez. Martin-Smith Recital All preparations for the 18th annual Martin recital and dance, for the benefit of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc., have been completed and everything points to success. All of the boxes and logos have been sold. The management of the school respectfully requests the guests to be in their seats at 8:30 o'clock, if possible, and hope to live up to past reputation and success. Some of the best known business men of Harlem have volunteered to assist as others. There will be a souvenir program for this occasion, which will be free to guests. The concert will be over by 10:30 when dancing begins.

The Claflin Orchestra, a vocal solo by Miss Marie Lovette, a reading from Dunbar, an instrumental solo, a violin solo and the play, "Waiting for the Train," gave the audience enough enjoyment to reward the director and promoters for the preparation and service DEACON JOHNSON'S MUSICAL COLUMN The Church Congregation is proud of their Preacher to the extent of supporting him financially, in a very marked degree, thereby enabling most of the Preachers to live well think well, and to plan and construct great meeting places to the extent of millions of dollars, and THAT IS GOOD The MUSICIAN can construct the real FOUNDATION for this Nation and the World to build TEMPLES of PEACE on EARTH and GOOD-WILL to putting into action the CATHERHOOD OF GOD and the BROTHERHOOD OF MAN, because MUSIC is the real UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE of MANKIND Greater New York is the proper place to construct the greatest TEMPLE of MUSIC and the Negro Musicians should discuss, understand and plan their GOD, GIVEN TASK, because the Negro Musician is spiritually RIGHT, and there is MUSIC in HEAVEN. Let us turn all our attention to our own foundation, because to really and truly serve the interest we represent and to aid other musicians, we must first make sure our own foundation. And please do not overlook the face that we must have the GOOD-WILL of those interested, but ostensibly—UNINTERESTED. Our part in the whole scheme of things will be effected—fruitful to all musicians—when we give strength and character to our own investment and maintain the growth of our own institution. The highest hope of any group governed by law, instead of by force, is the strong, tree GOOD-WILL of those to represent us. When we examine the present ten dencies of musicians, we shall find a task worthy of the bravest hearts. We must ever keep before us that the way to the foundation is often a long and rocky road to travel. So many steps have to be taken over again and again. So many times something essential has been overlooked or misunderstood. The contractors who to-day are striving to penetrate the secret of profitable promotion and management know how difficult the way is, and time after time they have found themselves compelled to manage or vary, thus giving up opportunities generally are perhaps too much disposed to think that the true foundation has been laid, and that the GREAT SYSTEMS OF MANAGEMENT HAVE NO MORE SECRETS MUSIC IN AMERICA IS IN THIS INFANCY and is BASED ON A HIGH STANDARD OF MUSIC LAUNCHING. 8.15 P.

Adolph Howell, the undertaker, at a handsome profit, and the money received was partly invested in the three lots adjoining the branch building, on which now will be erected the new residence building. The balance of this money was temporarily invested. Now, through a gift of money made by John D. Rockefeller Jr., in memory of his mother (who was the late Laura Spelman Rockefeller) and who greatly interested in the welfare of the Negro - Spelman College at Atlanta is named for her - sufficient funds are provided for the building which is to cost approximately $275,000. This includes land, building and equipment. The Building Committee It is stated that in preparing the plans for this building, the architect has accepted a number of suggestions from Mrs. Cecelia Cabanis Saunders, general secretary of the branch, looking to make the building especially suited to the needs of the girls and women for whose use it is being erected. The committee in charge of this work is headed by Mrs. Ruth Logan Roberts as chairman, other members being Mrs. William W. Rosier, Mrs. William S. Ladd, Mrs. Edward Perry Tornend, and Mrs. William H. Wortham who succeeded Mrs. Ransom as chairman of the local Committee of Management and as a member of the building committee. Ex-officio members of the committee are Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. Florence B. Potter, secretary for Housing and Room Registry of the City Y, W. C. A. Since disposing of the Emma Rauson House, the 147th street branch has partially cared for the many girls and women who come to the city looking for homes by conducting a Rooms' Registry service in which all rooms for listing are thoroughly investigated before being accepted as available. The construction of the building is to be rushed as much as possible, the contract calling for rigid time limitations, and is hoped that not one day will be lost in having it ready for early occupancy.

Lifting Holda Stage The commission's keenest interest was centered in the necessity of making an effort to the lynching habit, which has been increasing at a rapid rate during the last three years. The marked reason for lynching was ascribed largely to the mobilization of southern women accused of the condemnation voiced aloud in uniformly by the press, and to the lynching circulation in certain states. The commission determined that the transade more vigorously and access to government officials and enforcement officers by effective additional legislation in certain personal intervention cases, including the through the press and in every possible of such a public sen- will no longer tolerate mob College Groups Seeking Truth J.

There have been several offers to buy out the small steam laundry which Mrs. Farr opened up in the basement at 7 West 137th street in March last, and she has refused proposals to sell that have been made to her from several types of individuals, foremost of whom was a man representing himself as coming directly from the Lincoln Hand Laundry, 2246 Fifth avenue, just around the corner from her place. Since she rejected all offers, owing to the fact that the high quality of clothes that she has been turning out has built up for her a remarkable trade in the brief period that she has been in business, she has recently been meeting with little troubles which she believes her rival laundries are making for her. Mrs. Farr alleges that some one has been colecting laundry from homes in the name of the Dixie Laundry and not returning them. On one occasion a detective entered her place of business on complaint of a person who claimed that an agent had taken clothes from her in the name of the Dixie Laundry and that she had not seen her clothes since. The persons who collect laundry for Mrs. Farr were brought before the accusing party, who could not identify them. Mrs. Farr also alleged that Mrs. Foster, 274 West 140th street, apartment 22, claimed that a colored boy called for her laundry in the name of the Dixie Laundry, and that he must have been paid to destroy the woman's clothes for she has not seen the clothes or the boy since. Mrs. Hill, 11 West 137th street, is another victim of the laundrymen's alleged conspiracy to put the colored woman out of the business, according to Mrs. Parr, and she cites Mrs. Hill's case as similar to that of Mrs. Foster. It is alleged that some of the hand laundries in the North Harlem District are very careless as to how they turn out work, and some iron only the bosom, cuffs and back of the neck on men's shirts, and when taken to talk about poor women, they could be boasted that they could be the highest type of work if he were on Broadway, but that he didn't have to do his best in Harlem.
