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!

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 statement is made that the allowance made by the city for the treatment of free patients failed to cover the actual cost by sme 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 bf Estimate to take over the hospital for city purposes was based on the report of Dr. McGrath, head of Bellevue and Allied Hospstals, who alleged that the Lincoln plant wag so antiquated that the city would have to spend over a million and a half dollars to put it into proper con- dition and burld the nurses*home So urgently needed. The main building was pronounced “in dilapidated and neglected condition and a veritable fire trap." He suggested that the city might better spend the money in build- ing. a new hospital, gin , 34 This. may all be true, but it is-not apparent ‘Yo the castial visitor, even if he is inclined to view the buildings critically, It will he re- membered that when the new hospital was opened twenty-seven years aga, the plant was pronounced the acme oi perfection for hospital use. A representative of the city who was present at the opening, asserted that the buildings and equipment far exceed. ed in fitness anything that the city possessed in the hospital line at that ume. The city has probably improved its facilities mm the intervening period and the Lincoln plant amy have deteriorated with the intensive use given itin rendering city service, but it may not be heyond revival at much less expense than the figures quoted — Its location at I4lst street and Concord avenue is unsur- pasced covering several city’ blocks with plenty of ight and air It woubl be a sericus mistake for the city to permit the clesing of this hospital and ambulance servive for the territory which it now serves It should be kept im operation as a city institution unul a new hospital is provided Verhaps 2 further survey of the present buildings and the facilities for ine proving and extending them on the present site, will shew that ther posstilties: for future vee have been underestimated = The People ss the Penns «he a this nstitution has serveil su efficreutly durig the past quarter century should ampress this view of the situation upon the city authorities ‘The interest of the colored ertizens of New York in this stitution is due to the fact that it was originally founded for their special benefit mm 1839, when it first gave shelter as the Colored Home from a little house on Mur- ray Hull Broader space was later secured at Sixte filth street and Second avenue, until |.the removal to the Bronx ‘The development ‘of the home ite a hospital was accomphshed by the catablishment of the fuses: training school uttering a three years course to young colored women which now numbers ever one hundred nurses Phere are some fifty-six in- mates am the home department, whieh if 1s proposed ta continue as a distinct insuta- tien The Lincoln Home and Hospital has a record of lng and useful service ta the race and to humanity behind it If ways and ameans can be devised tu continue ite useful career, with a broader, policy directing. its functions it would undoubtedly prove of in- creased value to the community.

The -interest manifested by thie class of women in stimu- lating this movement for the ‘right adjust- ment of racial relations is pne of the most hopeful signs of the’ situation.» . ‘The condemnation of the practice of lynch- ing by many groups of influential women in ali the Southern Statés was regarded as ona of the results of the intereat taken by mem- bers of that sex in the cause of race relations. ‘This factor was aided by the increase in out- spoken condemnation .of lynching, both in public speaking and in the press. The pub. licity 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 exceéd ten mil- lions 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, a8 well as occasionally to special class publications, such as labor, edu- cational, women’s interest, ete. This shows! the’ wide scope of activities covered in this! movement. . 2 Various plans were considered for inereas- ing the effectiveness of the work of the or- ganization, which were turned over to ap- propriate committees for practical develop-| ment, The enthusiasm manifested by the! gathering in pursuing the objects aimed at by the organizers of the movement and the| reports of improvements ffected in many| sections, constituted 2 sound argument for the usefulness of the organization and the extension of its activities. . ~The Inter-RadahGommission as at present constituted is a leavening force in the South, spreading the stimufating doctrine of sanity and conimon sense in dealing with the rights and duties of both races, in their relations to! cach other. 7 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 fol- lawd the introduction of Western civiliza- tion are not all accounted for the better by this messenger of Western religion. We quote her letter: Every week the white pobulation of Pands 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 moral ly uplifting On the strects one sees white ladies and black maidens dressed alike in the latest fash- son | ‘This week, at a quiet afternoon tea, one oF * the ladies mentioned that the hats she had or- dered from Paris had not yet arrived O, yes, we are very up-to-date even to a lack of morals It woud be very enlightening ,to know haw many white people there are in this place who pass for man and wife that really have legal partners elsewhere im the world, so thal marrying 16 ost 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 Kods Nay, the native in these towns knows far more than we ever can know. He lives ww these people and) works in theie homes, and what he doesn't know about them isn’t worth knowing And these, flageant examples of drunkenness and immorality have their effect most emphati- cally on the native population But we are glad to say that there are many of the natives con- stantly coming to us and saying, “fam red of living in sin and wickedness andl want to turn te God” And turn they do by the scores and hundreds And that is what makes mis- sioriary life endurable, and that only Neither mator cars nor good, comfortable houses, nor plenty of fond including ice cream would miti- kate the ditconraging conditions Rut feeding these hungry souls does not only mitigate the coil “comitions hut 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 ard the side of theee «there And. we devoutly. wish Proportinn of these shall increase ‘Vins epistle recalls -a passage from “Ba- touala,” 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 ime, in his delirsum, he.told aver all the things he had against the whites—their lying, their cruelty, their Mlogieality, their hypocrisy.” The dying chief mused on. ‘There were neither Bandas nor Manjlas, neither whues nor blacks.

Johnson of the considerations .that pre: vailed in selecting the judges: for the Op- portunity literary contest, printed in last week's issue of The Age, was amiable in tone but not convincing in the reasonirig set forth, Editor Johnson generously recorded his ad- miration of all the persons mentioned in The Age editorial, “who with perheps ‘two ex- ceptions are known to this magazine and whose abilities have never been questioned.” He Said further: “ But really, the gurpose of the contest was not to introduce to them the material and ability which they all know exists among, Negrocs Nor was it thought necessary to attenfipt a ra: cial balance just for the sake of evidencing telf-eateem. For short story judges we at- tempted to get the most outstanding short story writers and critics of the short story in Amert- ca. An amplification of this selection 1s that to the stories by Nogroes would be applied the su- preme American standards. The same consideration governed the selec- tion of judges for other divisions of the con- test. A foremost crmic of poctry 1s Mr. Braithwaite. He was asked, but for personal reasons could not serve. Another is James Weldon Johnson He 16 one of our judges. Moreover, of other names mentioned as judges, + some were contestants and some closely as- fociated with another similar contest, one a judge of the other contest, and in the case of the others mentioned, we confess, apologetical- ly, that their work 1s not known to us. That apologetical confession that “their work is not known to us," may explain the whole situation, ‘That is another weakness of our racial institutions and the men who un them, that they do not know the work of the men and women of the race who have wrought in the same field. It should be part of the education of all of our sociologi- cal experts to familiarize themselves with he efforts of those who have preceded them in similar lines of endeavor. Editor Johnson considers that through the selection of judges along the lines speci- ied “the supreme American standards” would be applied to the stories submitted by Negroes. That does not follow as a logi- cal sequence. We have seen not a httle of the lowering of literary standards by pro- fensional critics, when it came to the point of judging a play or a story by a Negro writ- er. To some of these critics, it appeared so wonderful that any literary composition could emanate from such a source, that the cridest product devoid of real rherit, was pronounced 2 masterpiece. This tendency has some- what abated in the presence of real literary achievements by our writers of the present day, although an example of it was lately furnished in the indulgent, comments of the crities on what was called “an tp-to-the-min- ute story” by a hoy novelist Besides showing a belief in the critical ca- pacity of the race itself the selection of one half of the judges from the ranks of those who have nursed and developed the budding lite- raty ventures of the race durmg the past quarter of a century, would have msured the upholding of the high standards of Iterary excellencg that such a contest should main. tain. : While our appreciation of Editor John- son's anutability is undiminished, we regret hat he attempted to apply our reference to he agency of the press and the pulpit as essential in securing racial support for our racial welfare movements, as relating to nis literary contest. It looked too much hke seeking to muddy the waters of dehate, and failed to convince us of the sincerity of his useethene: edreemenba: FOR THE HALL OF FAME | The movement to allet Fredenteh Douglass mice mn the Hall of Fame has Snviated the support of such a unique and distinguished | journalistic advocate as the Christin Science Monitér, an international daily newspaper, published at Boston., The Monitor, in its issue of April 29, devoted an editurml to tite propriety of according this honor to an’ ex- slave, voicing the helief that few, if any, among those Americans who are famitiae vith the history of the country during the years preceding and immediately following Comments By The ‘Age Editors ' On Sayings of Other Editors eae aise hot Wa tacrne iNet {teste eg Non“ ots i On: the ic ane Rp pap intel Us Taha ai Fees ameit Cones nv . -Yotlon, Sea merty Capen sentitl genie « Reatlona, "Havers Beenie pet “hpresentease,: sWitst knows yee + Balok lide, no-abistocracy;ot pith ramet ne, county. teal by re a ety “y fat of Vel : lg. ang ‘pafendtantnets, in Stimes’ oF yale seeiagement acd! adversity, ‘that ithe Iauceh seceathy ts wat.” Ths “bee “Strowale von x late, cones only “when. those cit. wligae- behalf, ‘great iameridiges have’ been oiade, learn Feats the’ true' yélug ofthe ter- yleo renderéd. f° ot. = moi No Negro hae panicles been apraposed gyn pface i the, Hal eicFame, Safely Wseine Attn + ghat the honor should be bestowed Tt.would sooty eloquently to. the genuineness. of “Agyericart demo- eracy, Perhaps rol eerie tend to Inepire ard entourage, as puch tributes are intended to do, Greater yneelfish deyotlon -to the course of bimini ‘exerywhere, Tit only as humanigy 1s grmanci: puted and redeemed har ie feed irom. its own,:sense of bondage ‘and its self-imposed servitude, Commenting on the statement ‘made by President Coolidge in, a recent ad- dees, that he was not in favor of lift ing the ban on foreign wmmugration, the ces Whip said In announcing the defeat of the Consens SEN var rensteled a Tey emg destin we + teal the races in Feanetvatna, tue Husaledpina Trabune said Te wae crached amnier die attack al strong. mer amd women Mewae nahh te star aig tides Uh Wight vf ev un raced umranpled pubis epioton f ivan founded tn evil and’ dostbred |'by ie per en ON Te rad so onk al hs, ERD GE GA SER TNO isapao chester, NEN ie town where hie wade his home evcinits Noth, and thie'nam Tighot Douglas Square after hin {ifOBGaton, were referred to as Evidencen’thatzple greatness was Fecognized where he wos -best Kngwhi, “His: head “vas algo carved oh.one'of, the-collumns. of the, State Houke.at Albany, ag a tribite to one of New:.

John Taylor, the Lincoln's best righthander, took the mound in the opening contest, and except for a bad first and second inning, pitched good ball. He was opposed by "Nip" Winters, who was also hit hard during the contest, a feature of which was three home runs. suquoy aui aunea aojo aui used almost all of their remaining pitching staff but this did not stop the heavy batting. Five home runs were made in this contest, two of which were by the Lincoln batters—the two first basemen, Carr and Hudspeth, shared honors in this respect as each of them got two home runs during the day.

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.

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.

The Islanders apparently had not rid themselves of the sea-legs contracted enroute from Cuba for they barely escaped being shutout by Halsey. "Scrip" Lee, the Hilldale submarine pitcher. 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.
