Y. W. C. A. IN HARLEM CHANGES ITS TITLE TO 137th ST. BRANCH
Y. W. C. A. IN HARLEM CHANGES ITS TITLE TO 137th ST. BRANCH
At the meeting of the Branch Committee of Management it was voted to change the name of the Branch from "The Colored Women's Branch" to "The West 137th Street Branch"
This was done for several reasons. In the first place, now that the residence is being erected upon the site next to the administration building, it is reasonably certain that this location is a permanent one, and it is therefore, desirable to have the location well advertised in the public mind. Then, too, the former name was given the Branch for the convenience of strangers, in the city who usually had to locate the Branch through the telephone directory. This reason is removed now since, for purposes of economy, the Branch is not within sight for both buildings, and the residence for explored girls" will appear as an explanatory note in the telephone directory.
Colored Man Wounded, Slays White Man In Self-Defense
James Bleige, 308 Wost 39th street is being held at Bellevue Hospital a prisoner, following the slaying of an unknown white man at the home of Charles Garrett, 342 West 41st street last Sunday, when the white man fired into a group of colored men. Bleige told Detective Captain John Stagleton that he fired at the unknown man in self defense. The unknown man that was slain is believed to have had a grudge against one of the emen in the crowd into which he fired and wounded Bleige in the hand and leg.
At the last uptown report meeting for the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, which was held at the Royal Palins Restaurant on May 21, announcement was made that funds for a ward bed in memory of the late Philip A. Payton, pioneer colored real estate man, had been subscribed by prominent residents of Harlem. This fund is $5,000 and one half of it was given by Mrs. Susan Payton Wortham, sister of the late, Mr. Payton, and the other half came from contributions collected by the committee under direction of Dr. Louis T. Griffin. Mr. Wortham is one of the most active women of Harlem in social and charitable work. For years she has been on the Board, of Management of the Hope Day Needy and was recently made chairman of the

Nurses Want Lincoln Hospital Retained To Serve The Bronx Needs
Nurses Want Lincoln Hospital Retained To Serve The Bronx Needs
Graduate nurses of the city, formerly connected with Lincoln Hospital and Training School for Nurses, together with a number of citizens who are interested in the retention of Lincoln Hospital, are planning a mass meeting to be held Friday evening, the West 135th street public library at 8:30 o'clock, for the discussion of ways and means by which Lincoln Hospital may be retained for the needs of the Bronx community.
Much interest is manifested in the published reports of meeting of the City Board of Estimate as a Committee of the Whole, at which Mayor Hylan is quoted as having said that "If the Lincoln Hospital proposition is a good one I'll go along with this remark as the surpayer because that Lincoln Hospital was practically worthless and would cost the city more to put it in repair than to build a new hospital, and that certain persons were trying to 'unload a lot of junk on the city'.
He explained this assertion by telling Bronx Borough President. Bruckner on Monday that at the meeting last month he "was opposed to being driven in a corner. I wanted time to look into it. The mayor has agreed towithdraw the current reporting report on the being prepared to show whether or not the city would save money by taking over Lincoln Hospital. This report is expected to be ready in about ten days.
Speakers will be Commissioner Ferdinand Q Morton, Dr. F. P. Roberts, Alderman John William Smith and Fred R. Moore.

The new subway is being built by the city, the contract for which is only being offered by a company that has built the subway from 1210th street to 1224th street has been set for 1210th Hayman and Goodman Construction Co. and the subway from 1224th to 1323rd street is being built by the Rosoff Subway Construction Co.
In an interview with the superintendent of the Rosoff Company, the Age learned that this company is now employing 600 skilled mechanics about a third of whom are colored. These men are employed mostly in organization and company based work on the basis of experience and education. They are all union-merit receive $4500 for a 48-hour week.
To. Employ. More Negroes
There are also, a large number of colofredslaborers working on this job and more will be employed as the work progresses.
The local section now under construction will be 40 feet deep and will have stations at 125th and 135th streets. It is estimated that four years will be required to complete each section and that the Harlem sections will be the first ready for use.
It is being built to relieve the congestion on the Broadway-Seventh avenue lines. The route is fricn 60th street up Central Park West to 110th street up Central Avenue from 110th street up 123rd street, thence up St Nicholas avenue to 193rd street where it will be joined with the Broadway line. Below 60th street it will go east to 60th avenue and south on 60th avenue
The head of the Rosoff Company, Samuel Rosoff, came to this country from Russia a little over 30 years ago. His first job was working as a laborer on New York's first subway then under construction. In a short time he was made foreman of a gang of laborers and in five years was able to begin contracting as the head of his own company. Although now wealthy, he is still actively interested in the work and men in his employ. He has employed colored mechanics and has established the establishment of his company and considers them better fitted physically for this kind of work than any others.
His company is bidding for the construction of the section above 132nd street as well as sections in Washington Heights and it is probable that several of these sections will be allotted to the Rosoff Company.
The Hayman and Goodman Company has not started digging, below 122nd street but they too will employ colored mechanics and laborers when they start.

A. M. E. CHURCHES IN N. V. DISTRICT ARE STIRRED BY CHANGES Tawaten Moved From Bethel And Coles and Wilson Are Taken Off Districts
Freeport, N. J.—With the reading of the list of appointments on Sunday night, the Rt. Rev. William H. Heard of Philadelphia, bishop presiding over the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Church, brought the annual conference to a close.
Several radical changes were made in the pastorates and officiary of the conference, and most of them brought surprise and disappointment.
The most important changes were the demotion of the Rev. C. P. Cole presiding elder of the Long Island church, and the removing of the Rev. M. W. Thromton from the pastorate of Bethel Church, Manistian.
Dr. Cole was sent to pastor Bethel Church, Brooklyn, located at the corner of Dean street and Schenectady avenue, a congregation with considerable potentiality, but which has not been developed much by its recent pastors. It is understood that this appointment is displeasing to both the pastorate and the people, but it ought not to be so much to Dr. Cole's disadvantage as he has considerable property interests in Brooklyn.
Thornton Made P. E
Dr. Thonton has been given the position of presiding elder of the Long Island district, the position vcated by Dr. Cole, and this gives him supervision over the Brooklyn charge. As the relations between Cole, and Thonton have been somewhat strained this produces another

Prof. Carver Exhibits Dyes, Pigments, Toilet Goods Drawn From Clay
An exhibit of dyes, pigments and cosmetics, obtained from clay combinations, through processes invented by Professor George W. Carver, the chemist at the head of the laboratories and experimental station of Tuskegee Institute was featured Wednesday, May 20, at the Southern Industrial Exposition in Grand Rapids. Visitors were enveloped of the $5,000,000 endowment fund being raised for Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes.
Professor Carver has discovered that the soil surrounding the scene of his experimental work will produce twenty-seven different wash color combinations, applicable to plastered surfaces, sixteen stains for furniture and inside woodwork, thirty-two yarns and numerous other hot wax cases, as well as toilet powders, and the long-sought ultramarine blues which were used by the Egyptians of Tutankh-Amune's time.
An unusual feature of the exhibit associates itself with the inventor's career. Professor Carver's research work has won for him the Springing medal, given each year to the man or woman of African descent, who makes the highest achievement in field of art. He also has been given a fellowship to the Royal Society of Great Britain. He was born a slave, of slave parents on the farm of Moses Carver in Missouri.

NEW YORK'S STATE CENSUS FOR 1925 STARTS JUNE 1. WITH 7,600 WORKERS
Among the police orders issued by Police Commission. Enlight. on Saturday, May 23, was one reading as follows:
Edward H. Green 43rd Precinct, July 1, 1924 did willingly and unoccasionally interfere with two patrolmen who were attempting to obtain evidence and effect arrest for violation of the national prohibition law; conducted himself in a disorderly manner and did by his interlocutor failed to be respectful and failed to give name and shield number when requested to do so—20 days.
This announcement has required considerable criticism among those who show the circumstances under which the preferred against Officer Green, who is one of the colore dmen on the force, and who has always borne a splendid reputation to reficiency in the performance of his duty. Of the 20 pay increases approximately the sum of $140.
As a matter of fact, the particiular incident on which the charges were based, according to those familiar with the case, should really have been judged as a meritorious performance instead of being used to his detriment.
It concerned the notorious Charles Dance, stood guilty, infiltrated, and alleged robber and betrayer of young women and girls who was taken into

Albany, N. Y.—Beginning June 1, 1925, the state census enumerators, numbering 7,600, will begin the task of counting the population of the Empire State. The census will be as of June 1, including every person living on that day, or even during a portion of that day. That is, children born or individuals dying at any hour of June 1 are to be enumerated in the census.
Florence F. S. Knapp, Secretary of State, has named about as many women on the force as men. Among the supervisors in New York County will be Counselor Richard E. Baltimore of 135 West 135th street.
Thirteen questions are to be asked, the first being the name of the person being counted. The follows the street, the relationship of each person, the head of the family, color or race and age at last birthday. Next will come nativity, number of years in the United States, whether citizens or alien, and, if naturalized, when and where. The question as to trade or profession must be definitely answered.
charge of having allegedly kept his possession. The arrest was, and in front of the drug store at 504 Luth Avenue, near 135th street, which is located joint than a legitimate shop. Officer Green was found to have a half-plot of whiskey in his pocket and Officer Green arrested him. Two white officers, Phalen and Boo-mair, who are alleged to have been lying Dancey, and some of his associates, are noob pigeons, testified that they had资金 to secure evidence to the liquor selling company on in this drugstore, and charged that Officer Green's arrest of Dancey interfered with their plans.
Ago Man at Hearing
A representative of the Age was present at the hearing of charges against the colored officer, held by Deputy Commissioner Leech, and he states that these officers gave every impression of not telling the truth in their testimony. There is current the freely expressed opinion that the white officers and their superiors are using every means in their power to protect a vile and injurious traitor whose livelihood is dependent on the telling of outraged men of his race, oftimes onestopped superiors, officers claimed that they were frightened demonstration made by an executed "mob of more than 5,000" gathered at 135th street and 5000th street, that they would not have been frightened in Brooklyn, as they lived in the Mayor's neighborhood, and other statements of similarilly meaning. Those on thecene say there was only usual crowd to be seen any time at that corner.
Good Record For. 9 Years
Counsellor John William Smith was attorney for Officer Green, and he showed that the colored policeman had given nine years of fine service, and had been placed in various positions of 'responsibility, all of which had been capably fitted. At time of this particular incident, Officer Green was doing detergent duty in plain clothes at police headquarters, downtown. Immediately after, he was demoted and transferred to uniform duty and sent to tramp, the pavements of Brooklyn—attached to the Brooklyn station, where he has been ever since.
Officer Green served overseas with honor and distinction, but if the two white officers who made the charge saw similar service it was not brought out during this investigation.
Observers of conditions as regards the Negro police officers express the opinion that the treatment accorded Officer Green—the fine of 20 days pay in addition to demotion from detective duty and assignment to the far distant Brownville station—is in line with that seems to be a well-defined policy to discourage colored officers and eventually bring them to the point of leaving the force.
Muchly vainured square dest is being looked for; say these citizens, but the leniency shown white officers as compared with the severity or punishment meted to colored officers, coupled with the reputed depriving colored officers, of deserved commendation and honors for excellent service, leads to skepticism as to its existence.
Laborers must be characterized as a farm, building, or whatever may be. Duplexes employees, receiving wages, must be set down as servants, cooks, chambermaids, housekeepers, and so on; but wives, daughters or other members of the family doing household work without pay will be classified as "doing housework." The enumerators will wear hudges and have power, in case persons more than twenty-one years of age refuse to answer questions, to summon a peace officer. Such recalcitrants will be guilty of a misdemeanor and subdue if they do not more than $100 nor less than $50. Enumerators making false entries in suppressing, increasing or diminishing the number of inhabitants, may be sent to fail for not more than three months.
The work of the census enumerators will be greatly facilitated if naturalized citizens will have their naturalization paper, on hand between June 1 and 13, when the census will be taken, in order that these papers may be shown to the enumerators. This message is being sent out generally over the state, but more particularly to Greater New York.
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Million of dollars have been invested in the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute and the forty-fourth annual dividend on this investment was paid here Thursday, May 21, when the annual commencement exercises were held and Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, awarded certificates and diplomas to 181 young men and women who composed the graduating class.
The annual commencement address was delivered by the Rt. Rev. George C. Clement, Louisville, Ky. bishop of the fifth Episcopal district of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The bishop spoke on "Your Essentials of Leadership," and designated them as: A sense of responsibility; dreaming dreams and seeing visions; having a great love and faith in the divine; a fifth topic comprised his intention to share the results out of following growing suggestions.
the appointed leader. Dr. Moore outfitted 'out the confidence which the American people, white and black, north and south, were manifesting in Tuskegee Institute and its graduates, and urged the new members "of the great army of men and women who have been trained at Tuskegee" to accept this responsibility and carry out the ideals of the institution declaring that "With the help we have reached the point of our ability to do that. That is in your hands. I do not believe that you will disappoint us. Each one of you has specifically trained for some definite vocation. Find it as sooth as possible. But if you cannot find that particular thing for which Tuskegee has trained you, find something else acceptable, any honorable task, and though it may sometimes form that duty in an uncommon way. That was Becoker Washington's spirit. That is Tuskegee's spirit; and we believe that to be your spirit."
...
If the charge given the members of the graduating class by their principal is carried out some twenty-five of the states will be benefited, as well several communities in the British Caribbean, Africa, Cuba, Central America, South America, and the Philippine Islands, from which the students have come.
Degrees Conferred.
Among the one hundred and eighty-one young men and women who received the certificates and diplomas, were six young men upon whom the degree of bachelor of science in agriculture was conferred. This represents the same in the history of the college that each of the three degrees, according to A. L. Holsey, secretary of The Board of Trustees, who presented the candidates "to Dr. Moton. He pointed out that the trustees at the April meeting in 1921 had decided to approve a four-year college course in agriculture. Other features of the program of the day were the orations by the following students who ranked highest in scholarship: Ruth West, Tuxkeege; Annie L. Ricks, Brewton; Cameron Wells, Tucson, Arizona; Ozara Haminton, Hope, Arkansas; Zeae Harquis, Tuskeegue, Winst Vaz, Savannah, Duluth, West Indies; and Donald Dubous, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, U.S.A.
Another outstanding feature of the exegesis was the alumni address by Bielcher, of Ensley, who represented the university, of which he celebrated its tenth reunion, and who, as an indication of appreciation of the members for the training reed at the institute, contributed $3.20 toward the endowment campaign.
Dr. Moton Awards Diploma
The diplomas were awarded by Dr Moton, who said in part:
"On recommendation of the faculty of the institute and by the authority of the board of trustees I take great pleasure in presenting you with these officials documents, which certify that you have completed with credit certain prescribed courses of study at the Michigan Normal and Industrial Institute.
"I wish most heartily and sincerely to congratulate you on the fine work you have done and the splendid spirit you have shown throughout your entire careers in the institute.
"I wish to welcome you to the great army of men and women who share with them in the great service which they are rendering to humanity in all parts of this nation, particularly here in the South. These Tuskegee men and women have entered the ranks of world workers and they have shown great wisdom, tart, and courage. They have, therefore, black alike in every community to which they have gone because of this spirit and service.
"Tuskegee and the ideals for which it stands were never more highly appreciated by the American people as well as the civilized world than today. The work and service of Booker Washington, its founder, were never better known or more desired by the civilized world than at present. Tuskegee men and women never had a larger opportunity for genuine service; to their fellowmen than today. This class to this graduation has cost approximately a quarter million dollars. That is a very substantial investment. The nation—North and South, white and black—has furnished this quarter million dollars. Tuskegee thinks that this

money has been wisely and safely invested, and I dare say you think so, but merely thinking so is not wholly satisfying. The serious question is, will your life and conduct and the service, you render to your fellowmen, to your community, to the position, justify so large an investment. Only you can answer that question. That, the nation is willing to invest money in the life of colored men, and women at Tuskegee was never more manifest than today. The response for funds from white and black, from the South as well as the Norib, has been most gratifying, and this has in no sense appealed to our pride, but rather to our humility. It has made the principal and faculty more anxious that the service this school renders the nation shall in every sense justify the confidence and sacrifices that are made for the carrying forward of this work.
"With you, we have reached the limits of our ability to help. The rest is in your hands. I do not believe that you will disappoint us. Each one of you has been specifically trained for some definite vocation. Find it as soon as possible. But if you can not find that particular thing for which Tuskegee has trained you, find something else acceptable—any honesty, for instance, sometimes called a common task performed that duty in an uncommon way. That was Booker, Washington's spirit. That is Tuskegee's spirit, and we believe that to be your spirit. "You take with you always our best wishes and our most sincere and affectionate regards."

"Social Equality," She said that if social equality were what they thought it to be—entertainment in their drawing rooms and intermarriage—no Negro wanted it. On the other hand, it meant the private education and live when universities offered the same educational facilities and opportunities for Negro youth and the same justice in the courts of America then all the Negroes in America want social equality.

Race Delegation Has Conference With Mayor On Harlem Hospital
Race Delegation Has Conference With Mayor On Harlem Hospital
In the effort to secure racial representation on the medical, staff of Harlem Hospital, and in other departments besides the nurse division, a delegation of some forty Harlemites called on Mayor Hylan on Saturday, May 23, and were granted an audience in the mayor's chambers.
The representation desired was voiced by Dr. D. Conrad Vincent, who told the mayor that, Negrades of New York wanted an opportunity for Harel Hospital for consultation on the hospital staff of resident and visiting physicians and surgeons; as internes, and in every department of the hospital's functioning, including clearical, manual labor, skilled and semi-skilled vocations. He asked for the appointment of chauffeurs for the ambulances, yard and house laborers, orderlies, clerks, housekeepers, bobathers, and all other lines of activity necessary for the carrying of of Harlem Hospital.
These and other phrases of the matter were supported and endorsed by the Rev A C Garner, Rev J W. Robinson, J H Hubert of the New York Urban League, and Dr Godfrey Nurse. The mayor promised sympathetic consideration, and expressed ignorance that conditions such as had been referred to were in evidence at the hospital At his request, a sub-committee of seven was appointed to hold another conference with Mayor Hylan, at which would be present Dr John J. McGrath, chairman of the body of the mayor, of the newly hired Hospitals, and Mr Kelly, private secretary to the mayor. This conference is expected to be held in the next few days.

Students and friends of various colored educational institutions are planning to place stone in the structure of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, now being erected on Cathedral Heights, each stone to cost approximately $90, and to be in the name of the school in whose name the stone is located. The New York. Athena has started three funds to pay for stones in the names of Hampton and Tuckekee Institutes, and Lincoln University, contributing $1 to each. Friends, graduates and students of these schools are urged to contributed to gach of these funds, making payments direct to Cathedral authorities or to Mrs. Cathedral authorities or to Mrs. who is in charge of collections for the building from colleges and universities.
The Cathedral's magnificent structure is partly erected and funds are now being raised for its completion. The doors of this great Episcopal church are open to all peoples, and the compiler of congregations in New York frequently hold there. It is pointed at the race will be doing a fine thing to raise the necessary funds that colored colleges and schools may be placed on the engraved rolls of those assisting in the building of the Cathedral.
Friends of other schools and colleges of the race are asked to take advantage of the opportunity making the necessary contributions have the names of the institutions of their choice permanently placed in the walls of this great religious temple.
Foreign universities are aiding in the movement, reports Mrs. Gardner, and contributions have been received from the University of College, Constantinople; University of Mexico; Yale in China; and by several Canadian universities. Committees have also been formed at Oxford and Cambridge in England.
Willis Williams Gave 44 Years Service In Jaxville Postoffice Was First Superintendent Of Carriers When Free Delivery Was Begun
Jacksonville, Fl.—In its issue of May 1, 1925, the Florida Times-Union printed an interesting story concerning Willis Williams, who retired from active duty on September 14, 1923, after forty-four years service in postoffice of Jacksonville and Tallahassee, and in the Railway Mail Service.
Mr. Williams was the first superintendent of carriers in the Jacksonville postoffice. The free carrier system was inaugurated on May 1, 1883, and at that time Mr. Williams was chief mail clerk. Postmaster Lednane named him the man to supervise the new service, and transfer was effected which changed Williams from the mailing to the city division and he was appointed to the superintendency. The carriers at that time were George H. Mays and George W. Wetmore, colored and John Asterman John Jolliffe. Postmaster Williams is the only one of the group now living. Today Jacksonville has 63 regular, and three substitute carriers. In the Jacksonville postoffice, Mr. Williams served under ten postmasters and worked in every position in the office. He was four years in the postoffice, and a short period of service was given the railway mail branch.
Two sons, Willis A. and Clarebee, formerly in the Jacksonville office, have transferred to the New York office to be the head of the minal postoffice in the Central Station, holding responsible positions. Mr. Williams is planning to spend the summer in New York with his brothers, and will be visiting Williams' family consists of four sons, two daughters, eight grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

Every morning, certain employment agencies, in New York and Brooklyn, hundreds of women to private families familiar with the day. They are called 'day workers'.
Their work is house cleaning in homes and small apartments, some of which only, be bed, bath, kitchen and kitchen and kitchen workers are required to do the house cleaning where there are no maids, and in some cases where there is a general house cleaning to be done in homes where there is no maids, the child does not have time to work.
Some families have a cleanliness week while others give their apartments a thorough cleaning so often, literally giving work to women who are not regularly employed but like to do a few days work every week. The places where day workers are employed for the most part are in the Boston Washington Heights Riverside Drive, West End, terraceing streets along Broadway in the blocks where the side streets number 1 from seventy and extend up town.
The Grant Agency
Grant's Employment Agency does a big business with day workers and the housewives. It is said by one who operates another employment agency that Grant has a system that is figured out scientifically. The reason, that his office is favored by the day workers is that he has more jobs, and there are more chances for them to get work there than at any other office.
And it is said that the housewives prefer Grant's office because he sends out women to work nine hours for the same amount of money that is paid those other offices to work an eight hour day. Day workers are required to pay an office fee. Their employers pay their car fare and from work and give them lunch at noon. At some homes the women are given light breakfasts consisting of tea or coffee, bread, butter and sometimes cereal and "egg-cell". The office is divided as "cleaning" and "washing", and the office fee is half a dollar for the former and forty cents for the latter. If the applicant is given a stendy job the office fee is ten per cent of the first month's wages. Day workers are paid $3.60 for washing and $4.10 for cleaning, the dime being the amount women prefer washing to cleaning, keeping the fact that women fees $2.10.
Do General Work
Women, who go out for cleaning must wash windows, beat eats, mop kitchens, wash wood work, wipe down walls, rub up furniture, climb up and down step ladders while dusting behind pictures, and use the vacuum cleaner in winter

The women who go out to work are required to do the laundry like the household (or to his personal wash and iron, which takes all of three quarters of a day of the time) is usually made in the apartment if the apartment is very large and the amount of all of the clothes used that washed, in such cases she is required to work until her hour and in some cases she is engaged to turn the next morning and wash. The rate for half a day is 10 whether it be washing or drying. There are few places that clothes wringers. Most of them are wringing by hand and drying in the cool, even in winter. There are heated cloth drying closes and families that allow the laundry dry clothes on the radiators in extremely cold weather but will all of them have clothes dried in the since it gives them a sweet and tasty odor.
Work In Hand Laundries
Hand laundries also employ women for days' work on Wednesday, days and Friday, and pay the $100 a day. Often a woman wows one and offers the other a woman the same laundry. When her work ties the employer. Portor's Employment Agency is an other office. Where day workers are out, every morning, and many person throughout the year, are given new jobs as maids, nurse girls and cooks. Those maids are white, and they are paid the highest wages, or get the best jobs.
Mails are paid on an average of $1 a week, although there are some wages are $18 a week. The mails who sleep-in, and the regular mails who go home ever evening to clean the rooms of the apartments on table, and some small families use them the washing to do. Nurse are required to keep the children clean and wash their clothes. The regular mails who sleep-in are $16 per week. Some cooks are required to do the family washing in small tables where the cook sleeps-in and their fare like, the other domestics sleep-in, of them being given a private room while others sleep in the room with the children, in exceptional cases.
Seek Work In Winter
Even in winter a crowd of women days workers may be seen standing before the doors of employment agencies waiting for the office to open and many of them wait as long as ten clock in the meaning for a job to come over the phone. Often it has the case where women, who had a job in the office in the past, are waiting for the office to open, find someone later in the day without getting away. There have been known cases where women frequently came from Brooklyn to agencies in New York because chambers of getting work for the day were better.
Frequently calls comes from some place on Long Island and Staten Island, within the radius of Greater York, for a woman to do a day's work and to finance and home at night about nine o'clock and later.
This summer there does not seem to be quite so much work for women in the heretofore, according to statements from the various offices. There is one that benefits days workers which found at Grants office, he has said, in the department which the law workers join and are the帮by preference over the outsiders. They are not guaranteed a day's work at time that they come to the office and are assured that they will be given first choice of the jobs that are. The trouble with many women who take a different job every time that they come to the office is that pleas the house wives and the women of many of them is so unsatisfied that the lady of the house does not care for their services again.

NEW YORK, N. Y. The native of Africa are, as is present on the sidewalks watching, European and Asian settlers play football with the latter in the park and the latter in natural resources and the latter in international peace and property among the educational social report of the Educational Commission to East Africa, issued today by the Pharael Stokes School.
The Commission spends months in the field, traveling from Egypt, Sudan, Egypt to Cairo, Town, and supplemented the work of a similar group, which studied West, South, and Equatorial countries. The matriarch of both Commissioners, Dr. Thomas, Jesse Foley, educational director, was founded in 1880 to promote Negro education in the South, and the missionary societies of Great Britain, and North America co-operated by leading experts to serve on the Commission. The British Government tendered Dr. Jones an official 'dinner at Lancaster House, London on his way back from Africa.'
Aksa Inclusion of Nattiyaa
Dr. Jones, who writes, the report, calls for the inclusion of the native in a plan of cooperation which will include government officials, missionaries, settlers and trades. He looks to the European national forces on the West Coast, and Abyssina, in the east, to take the leadership in working out a definite plan and not leave it to the individual and uncoordinated efforts of the governments of various colonies. *Africa has been losing ground in the main power essential for unlocking this great Physical wealth, says the report. The heritage of the slave raids, the ravages of disease and an ignorance while per-
VENEREAL DISEASES Destroyers Of Health and Wealth
The first three articles of this series recounted the history and distribution of the venereal diseases and pointed out their cost in health and wealth. Having noted the facts, the question arises what can be done to reduce this economic burden and lessen the strain which these diseases place upon individual, family and social welfare. The measures which being employed in this effort may help to decrease the burden of these parts—educational, legal and edifici. This article presents the educational measures, the others being reserved for subsequent articles.
The aim of educational measures is to arouse the individual and the community to the seriousness of the problem by emphasizing the follw ing facts:
That syphilis and gonorrhea are communicable germ diseases and dangerous to the public health;
That persons having acquired them should place themselves under thorough, reputable, and continued treatment;
That under such treatment cure is possible;
That every person who has been exposed to venereal disease or thinks he has been exposed should seek medical attention. That the diseases are spread principally through prostitution and illicit sex conduct;
That many persons, however, ac-

are all given as an answer for the wrong population, problem, Dr. Jowas writes:
**Education the solution**
The solution by the solution is based in terms of compassion intelligently adapted to the needs of native life. Simplicity rather than complexity is taught, and Dr. Jowas gives as his basic simplicity of education: (1) health and sanitation for, living there, the infant of 600, the threshed; (2) training in crop production, animal husbandry, food preservation and the farm trades for a people who are offered decimals by familiar in a land of plenty; (3) proper understanding of theencies and safeties of the house, including prevaracies and care of the sick, and care of the ill; and (4) helpful recreation and amusement.
He pays high attention to the character-building influences of the Christian religion; at the same time, he would salvage as much as possible of native traditions and customs; modifying them and directing them into the proper channels; thereby the education he included in every territorial administration, and that the pioneer and continuing importance of the missionary schools be recognized by grants-in-aid. Whatever her stance in any tribe, the African woman wields great power over the 'health' and the home life of her family, and education is therefore every bit as important for the girls as it is for the boys. He has developed of education of the masses should go adequate provision for the thorough training of a native leadership which is becoming increasingly essential to a peaceful working out of European responsibilities in Africa.
quire - those diseases - innocently through the carelessness, indifference, or yiciousness of persons already infected, and, for this reason, such indifferent persons should be controlled even to the extent of quarantine, if necessary;
That the only certain prevention is for everyone to limit sex relations to those sanctioned by law and morals. The presentation of these facts varies of course, with the age and particular interest or function of the various groups and institutions participating with the official agencies in this educational effort. Among such groups and institutions may be mentioned: club, women's organizations - welfare societies, the schools and churches, industrial organizations. The Federal State and health departments in conveying this information to the general public utilize such facilities as: Pamphlets, books, placards, lectures, motion pictures, exhibits and stereotypic slides.
Some of the more important educational materials which the United States Public Health Service makes available for use in its cooperative work with the State health departments are: "The Science of Life"—a 12-reel motion picture
"Keeping Fit"—an exhibit for boys
"Youth and Life"—and exhibit for girls
"The Venereal Disease Menace"—an exhibit for girls
VENEERAL DISEASE INFORMATION—a monthly publication for physicians and health officers
SOCIAL PATHOLOGY—a publication for social workers and kindred groups
A series of phamphlets—Set A—for young men; Set B—for officials and the general public; Set C—for boys; Set D—for girls; Set E—for boys and young women; Set F—for educators.
These pamphlets, as well as the other materials mentioned, may be obtained from the State boards of health or from the, United States Health Service, Washington, D.C.

McGraw and Miss May Williams of Salem M. F Church, Mr. Alfred Bryan leader choreographer of Salem M. F Church; and the Musses Estelle Dyson and Margaret Fletcher, of Mother Zion A. M. F Church choir.
With this array of talent in the gentle art of speech-making, music and songs, as the final attraction for the closing period this meeting has all the promises of being just as interesting and entertaining in its features as were the previous ones. And there is no disputing the fact the other two certainly gave concrete evidence of those attributes. April form of this association, a statement by his speechmakers with reference to certain activities in the community, from which the reactions are still subject upon which those schools identified with these activities comment. The coming meeting partners much information regarding the dumps of the various groups in the Harlem section of the city; for there will be two editors and a lawyer to speak on some of the problems of the neighborhood, and what the above named speakers are unable to relate in the way of informing these matters, is not worth hearing about. The exercises for the afternoon will begin promptly at 4 o'clock, and as usual, will be free to all whir may wish to attend.

World War Veterans Must File Disability Claims Before June 7
Veterans of the recent World War who suffered disabilities while in service and who have filed claims under the 'World War Veterans' Act of 1924, are being urged by officials of the Charles Young Post, 398, American Legion, with headquarters at 2376 Seventh avenue, that such claims must be filed before June 7, 1922, or be impossible for disabled veterans to receive any compensation. In making this announcement, the Legion officials advise that the Act was approved on June 7, 1924, and that it provides that—
"No compensation shall be payable for death or disability which does not occur prior to or within one year, after discharge or resignation from service except" where there is official record of injury during service, official record of injury at time of separation from service or "where within one year after the approval of the Bureau is furnished the Bureau to establish that the injury was suffered or aggrieved during active service
All claims filed must be accompanied with sufficient evidence to connect complaints of disability with wartime service. Affidavits from doctors or from comrades in service who knew of the veteran's condition in service and since discharge are necessary.

"I'm going to hold her until I can find Henry Sanders," she the message given Diamond, Brown, father of his wife, wife of one of the men chased away from the Land and Davis turpentine camps in Calhoun County, because of alleged unlawable conditions.

Negroes Still Bear Scars
United States Commissioner Milton at Mariana was the final witness at the closing of the Government's case this afternoon. He testified to his examination of the bodies of the Negroes who had been beaten and corroborated their stories of torture. Some of the men still bear scars. The whipping was done last September. Diamond, the first witness of the day, was two hours on the witness stand, and made the most capable of Government witnesses. He seemed to deliberate on every reply given both for the Government and in reply to queries by the defense attorneys. He readily identified "accounts" which he had been given, showing that for his short time in the employ of the turpentine camp and words he was indebted to the company $11430. He said he did not know what it was for as he had never drawn any pay. He said that when he was arrested and taken to the County Judge office they had urged him to plead guilty to stealing jumper clothes on the corn field.

He said that caused him to change his plea and later to get the privilege of being released on a ninety-day bond which had been figured against him in the final accounts.
School throughout the South are noisy holding commencement, exercises, bidding farewell to their sweet girl graduates, and closing their doors for the season. The incoming weeks will bring to the North flocks of girls full of vim, vigor and vitality; it's sparkle in a great-northern city's aura them. Some will ask employment, others the summer schools, and still others just as jolly vacation.
New York can supply the quest of each new comer, but upon the initiative, personality, perseverance and training of the girl herself will depend the success or failure of her pursuit.
Watch Out For Lodgings.
'The first step, even before leaving home, should be to find a safe stopping place. The item of room rent should be arranged by correspondence in advance. The girl should also enquire the privileges she will be allowed, if any, such as the kitchen, kitchen for pressing, preparing her breakfast, and as to any extra charge for same.
Rents in New York are high, space is limited, and also the opportunity for the enjoyment of home comforts in the ordinary lodging house. However, there are delightful homes, with rooms at reasonable rentals, and landlads who can make a girl's stay comfortable if she does not abuse her privileges. Many women rent their homes as lodgers because they claim they are a nuisance. The girl, they say, is too much in the kitchen, and expects more privileges than the ordinary male for the same money. It is therefore up to the girl to see that she doesn't infringe on any consideratica given her. Don't be gossipy and sloppy about the house, punish it in payments, and remember it in payments. A-certain amount of reserve even in the home of friends will keep a longer friendship.
If a girl is seeking employment she should be on the alert and place herself in contact with sources that will likely supply her needs. To sit and wish for work, perhaps dreaming in bed half way, certainly won't bring it. And then she should be trained herself, and not expect literary or clinical work when she hasn't the training for it. Far better to take a domestic job, with a steady salary as a stepping stone to something, better, than to drift into a position where you may lose your own self-respect by asking favors of friends, if it amounts to nothing more serious. Young Women's Christian Association—in 147th street, is not yet occupying its dormitory, but through its Room Registry Service it keeps an accredited list of investigated rooming houses, and a letter of inquiry addressed to the Secretary will meet a premit response. It also has an employment bureau which assists the girl in search of a woman.
A few years ago the Y. W. C. A (white) issued a series of "Don't" for girls as follows
"Warning To Young Women Travelling Alone."
Don't start to a strange city or town without information about a safe place to stop.
Don't leave home without money for an emergency and sufficient for a return ticket.
Don't ask tor or take information or directions except from officials.
Don't accept offenses of work either by person or by advertisement without inquiry.
Girls should never speak to strangers, either men or women in the street, in shops, in stations, in trains, in lonely country roads or in places of amusement.
Girls should never ask the way of any but officials on duty such as policemen, railway officials, porters, postmen.
Girls should never go to an address given to them by a stranger
Girls should never accept candy, food, a glass of water offered by strangers
Any of these things, may contain drugs
Girls should never go to any large town even for one night without knowing of a safe lodging

Health and Beauty
By MADAME J. BLANG.
and youthfulness of the complexion depend up the elasticity of the skin.
Science has proved that nine-tenths of the diseases of the flesh are caused by poor circulation and the failure of the system to eliminate its waste.
Science has worried, loss of beauty, fading completeness, yellow skin, falling hair, lesseing vices all may be traced, in the majority of cases to imperfect, or disturbed circulation.
Every function of the body is seriously impaired when the circulation is stingling and the system fails to eliminate its waste properly.
If one would maintain the highest degree of health and beauty, the bowels must be kept active, so that all waste is removed and no pores are clogged, of closed.
If intestines, kidneys, lungs and Akin as well as the entire circulatory system must be in active activity. Both health and beauty require constant-normal action in the various parts of the body in a harmonious whole.
For strengthening the body, keeping the skin, clear, rosy and healthy, and unifying the circulation - there is nothing better than sane, sensible and scientific exercise and massage
Caal beauty is the natural endowment of a healthy body by any woman eyes or contour of body by promoting a daily plan of exercise to promote can retain or regain beauty of skin, hair, a forceful circulation of pure blood and by forming-hygienic habits of caring for the skin, hair, etc.
It simply means using your God-given intelligence in the preservation of nakedness which are often neglected through laziness. It means work, through exercise to keep the body flexible and the skin fresh, clear and healthy
Kitchen Magic

But when the days grow soft and warm, our food should have another form. That is your yellwax not wan and pallid "Tis well to munch upon a salad." Gas Logic spring. Spring and summer salad tastes rare, adjusting the desires of man to the desire that as warm weather approaches, we create the tonic qualities of the vegetables mineral salts rather than the heavy proteins and fats that form, necessarily, so important a part of our winter diet
The dressing is the real secret of the salad

It well to remember that cold meat which is to go into a salad is imprilled if it is allowed to soak for a short time in French dressing.
Below are given a few of the standard salad dressings, the making of which, even though the names are familiar, is not properly understood by many housewives.
FRENCH DRESSING—4 tablespoons oil milk; 1/8 tablespoon vinegar; 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 tablespoon tarragon vinegar; 1 teaspoon French mustard; 1/4 teaspoon salt; Dash of tabasco sauce. Pinch of white pepper. Pour the salt, pepper, tabasco and mustard into a mixing bowl, adding a little oil. Sur well, gradually adming the rest of the oil Beat constantly last of all, add the vinegar, which is all finished, if it too strong. It is always well to add the ingredients of salad dressing yeold.
MAYONNAISE DRESSING—For chicken salad, cold fish, or vegetables—5 eggs; 1 gill hot vinegar, 1 pint olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 drops tabasco, 1 teaspoon dry mustard
Put the egg yolks into a bowl, first separating every particle of white. Add salt, tabasco, mustard and mix thoroughly. Pour in very slowly, the hot vinegar and oil, alternating without stopping. Beat thoroughly and in a few minutes the body will be creamy. A teaspoonful of cream will add a tableaufondé of rich cream will add smoothness and richness to the dressing. To make a still richer dressing, for fruit salads, it desired, whip half a pint of cream stiff and work in slowly.

PEONAGE IN FLORIDA.
The system of peonage which has taken the place of chattel slavery as a means of enforcing labor without recompense is firmly established in many parts of the South. Through the United States courts and the Department of Justice the Federal authorities keep up an intermittent warfare against this evil, but it is so firmly rooted in the industrial system of the South that it is hard to uproot it.
At a recent trial for peonage in Pensacola recording to a special dispatch to the New World World, the indictment named ninety men as concerned in the case, including the county judge and the sheriff. The fact is that in Florida and other Southern states, where peonage flourishes, the system could not exist without the connivance and active support of the local officials. It is through their efforts that enforced labor is recruited for the turpentine and lumber camps and other industries requiring unskilled workers. In Florida these officials are not particular as to whether the men they consign to virtual slavery are white or black, as was proved by the brutal whipping to death of a white boy from Wisconsin in the lumber camps a year ago.
Flogging and whipping, often ending in the death of the victims, are part of the system of peonage, the object being to so covet the peons as to prevent attempts at escape and to get the utmost ounce of labor without putt. In fact, the testimony at this trial showed that one witness during his short time in the employ of the turpentine camp became indebted to the company to the amount of $114.30. He did not know what it was for, as he had never drawn any.
The United States commissioner at Mariana testified as to his examination of the bodies of the Negroes who had been beaten and corroborated their stories of torture. One of the men held at a turpentine camp in Calhoun county got away and was tracked within four miles of his former home by two of the defendants in this case. Failing to find the fugitive, the "arrested" his wife and sent word that they were going to hold her until they found the man himself. The state of the women who are held at these camps did not worse than that of the men as they are forced to wholesale institution, to swell the profits of the kidnappers and their legal aids.
All the horrors of the discredited system of slavery are revived in the form of peonage, instituted a died and abetted by industrial and official greed and avarice. Trafficking in the souls and bodies of men and women is a matter of common practice in many of the counties of Florida and other Southern states. It is only the occasional prosecution of a suit of this kind by the Federal authorities, that brings to light the fact that slavery still exists in defiance of the Proclamation of Immanuel and the Constitution is amended.
The fact that the legislatures of the States where peonage flourishes refuse to legislate against it shows that the only reliance to be looked to is through the intervention of the Federal government. And yet such states as Florida boasts of their advanceization and invite the investment of Southern capital and the influx of residents from other sections.
The toleration of the system of peonage is a legacy of the violent system of slavery which must be abolished if the South ever to have civilized

Trafficking in the souls and bodies of men and women is a matter of common practice in many of the counties of Florida and other Southern states. It is only the occasional prosecution of a suit of this kind by the Federal authorities, that brings to light the fact that slavers still exist in defiance of the Proclamation of emancipation and the Constitution as amended.
The fact that the legislatures of the States where peonage flourishes refuse to legislate against it shows that the only relief to be looked for is through the intervention of the Federal government. And yet such states as Florida boasts of their advanced civilization and invite the investment of Northern coastal and the influx of residents from other sections.
The toleration of the system of peonage is a legacy of the various system of slavery, which must be abolished if the South is ever to be civilized.
ANTI-KLAN LEGISLATION
As a reminder that the Ku Klux Klan still exists in the North, we came across two significant items in the papers of last week. The first one told that the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York state had held the act passed by the legislature requiring secret societies to file with the Secretary of States copies of their constituent by laws and lists of members. The case in which this decision was tendered was that of George W. Bryant of Buffalo state klangle of the Ku Klux Klan, appealing from his arrest by the police of Buffalo on failing to comply with the law.

As a reminder that the Ku Klux Klan still exists in the North, we came across two significant items in the papers of last week. The first one told that the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York State had upheld the pass by the legislature requiring secret societies to file with the Secretary of States copies of their constitution on his laws and lists of members. The case in which this decision was rendered was that of George W. Bryant of Buffalo state bishop of the Ku Klux Klan, appealing from his arrest by the police of Buffalo for tailing to comply with the law.
The opinion in unstaging the constitution alters the law was written by George W. Clark in which he upheld the pow-
er of the legislature to protect citizens against "malicious discrimination and wanton intimidation." Three judges assented to this opinion while one dissented. An appeal will be taken from this decision, according to the attorney representing the klan at Buffalo. This law was intended to discourage the activities of the klan in New York State, its author being Senator Walker.
The other item announced a meeting of the klan, the women's auxiliary and the junior klan at a park in Long Branch. A baseball game was the opening attraction. Other features were a special train from New York with prominent klansmen on board, and the presence of officers bearing such titles as "imperial klaliff" and "king kleagle for New Jersey."
There is undoubtedly a good deal of bunk about the klan business, both North and South, but the leaders never forget to collect the price of admission. If the purposes of the organization were as innocuous as its leaders pretend, there does not appear to be any sound reason why they should refuse to comply with the New York law. There is something rotten about any organization willing to function under a name so redolent of evil memories. The choice of such a name is ample cause for questioning the purity of its motives. The court was warranted in ascribing "malicious and wanton intimidation" as part of its program.
· TO MOVE A COLLEGE.
Advices from Mound Bayou, Mississippi are to the effect that Campbell College will discontinue its educational work at Jackson and re-establish its plant on its agricultural lands, two miles east of the town of Mound Bayou. The object of this removal is to improve educational facilities for the degrees of the Mississippi Delta. The board of supervisors of Bolivar County have expressed their willingness to cooperate with the college authorities in directing the agricultural and industrial work of the school and propose to raise twenty-five thousand dollars for building and equipment.
Mound Bayou is one of the few towns in this country run entirely by Negroes and owes its establishment to the late Isaiah T. Montgomery. Campbell college is one of the schools established by the African Methodist Church. The removal of this institution to the heart of the Delta, in close proximity to this Negro town, should result in widening its usefulness. The fact that the white representatives of Bolivar county were in favor of accepting the proposition, is indicative of a more enlightened sentiment on their part toward Negro education in Mississippi.
If this proposition is finally worked out along practical lines between Bishop Beckett and the college trustees on one side and the county authorities on the other, the outlook is for a broader and more permanent arrangement for the operation of the agricultural and industrial department. This will mean a great deal to the members of the area in that section and particularly to the residents of Mound Bayou. It will mean the teaching of the farmers how to increase the production of cotton and food stuffs over acre and so provide a better living for the producers and more business for the handling agencies.
One criticism made of Negro towns like Mound Bayou and Boley is that they do not grow, or at least that their growth is so slight as to be imperceptible to the casual observer. The establishment of a live college so near to Mound Bayou ought to give an active stimulating growth, both materially and intellectually. The removal of Campbell College should be a good thing for all parties concerned.

A NEW INDUSTRIAL PROGRAM.
More than a year ago The Age urged the necessity and propriety of some agency like the National Urban League undertaking the industrial problems presented for solution by the migration of so many workers of the race from the South. It mentioned this organization specifically because of the fact that it already possessed the machinery and the trained corps of investigators to handle the necessary details. We are therefore satisfied by the announcement made by the league that it has inaugurated a national industrial program for the purpose of conducting a nation-wide campaign for larger opportunity for Negro workers.
This campaign will be under the direction of T. Arnold Hill, who for the past eight years has been the executive secretary of the Chicago Urban League and Western field secretary of the national organization. The program of the industrial department will include the following features:

We are therefore gratified by the announcement made by the league that it has inaugurated a national industrial program for the purpose of conducting a nation-wide campaign for larger opportunity for Negro workers
This campaign will be under the direction of I. Arnold Hill, who for the past eight years has been the executive secretary of the Chicago Urban League and Western field secretary of the national organization. The program of the industrial department will include the following features:
1. Standardize and coordinate the local employment agencies of the League, so that exchange of information and more regular correspondence between them can assure applicants for work more efficient and helpful service and employers of labor a more efficient group of employees.
2. To work directly with large industrial plants, both in cities where the League is established and the communities removed from such centers to provide larger opportunity for work and for adju-
tive employment in the job market, workers to attrib-
ute to large workers to a fresh determination to make good on the job so that their bu
sure in industry may be assured.
To help through available channels of information to ascertain points at which there is an oversupply of Negro labor, and to use existential needs of publicity and placement to direct. Negro workers, including migrants, to their point of residence, where they may last their families will soon easily become adjusted. Much of this program covers various points raised by The Age in its previous articles on this subject and we are glad to find them included as necessary and expedient. Mr. Hill has set forth some phases of his policy in an article written for The Age, which appears in another part of this issue. He does not intend it as a plea for Negro labor, for he claims there is abundant and conclusive testimony of the success of colored women and men in skilled and semi-skilled trades: He suggests "a studious application of all the resources at hand, if the Negro wageearner is to maintain and further his strategic advantage, both North and South, now that European immigration has been curtailed by governmental restrictions and a revival of business is reported." His article is encouraging in its tone and in the information it gives. His conclusion that the mere getting of jobs is not the final end of our industrial objective, is one that should commend itself to all students of this problem.
Particular emphasis should be placed on the training and preparation on the part of those applying for places requiring any degree of skill. The applicants for skilled occupations must be qualified for their jobs, unless they are understood to be beginners and taken under that head. Then the local leagues should institute such thorough surveys of the industrial field in their own locality, as to be able to know the exact number of workers employed in every industry, the number of openings for newcomers and the general conditions affecting workers in their relations not only with employers but with the labor unions.
Such details as these will probably be taken care of by the new director who has had the benefit of his experience in the Western field to guide him. We welcome the inauguration of this service by the Urban League, which is one of the most vital that it can render the race.
"BLACK AND TAN."
In an account of the padlock proceedings against a Harlem cabaret run by Negro management, the New York Sun displayed a special animus by using the headline, "Black and Tan Shut." It cited the testimony of a policeman, who said the place was known as a "black and tan" rendezvous. It also laid stress upon the fact that "drunken white women in a Negro cabaret" were described in the testimony of the policeman, who gathered the evidence presented. In fact, the chief offending of the owner of the place seemed to be the fact that these women were admitted.
The ostensible charge against the place was the selling of drinks to a policeman, who was accompanied by a policewoman. At a previous trial the owner had testified that he never sold any intoxicants in the place, but that adjoining there was a speakeasy operated by a man named "Archie." The defence failed to produce "Archie" and the court ordered a padlock on the door for one year. It was said that the testimony given by the investigators convinced the judge that the place was "a common nuisance."
To the unbiased observer who knows of the open violation of the prohibition law by such notorious resorts as the Cotton Club and Connie's Inn, the singling out of this Negro cabaret for padlock proceedings seems rather invidious. Of course, if the owner violated the prohibition act by selling liquor, he was liable to proceedings under the padlock procedure. But, the question arises, why should such other notorious offenders be allowed to continue unmoleshed. Evidently the mistake made by the owner of this place was in not forbidding the entrance of white women. And yet if he had done so, he might have been liable to a charge of discriminating on account of color.
It was brought out in the investigation of cabarets and similar resorts some time ago, by a committee of investigators, the places owned by Negroes were as a rule conducted on a more decent and orderly plane than those owned by whites. The owners of the former places do not go out and solicit the patronage of the whites, but on the other hand it is thrust upon them, and not having the pull of the white owners, they hesitate at excluding or throwing out customers of another color than their own, hence the Sun and other papers refer to such places as "black and tan rendez-vous."
The use of the term in this connection is rather puzzling. As we remember at originated in the palmy days when the Negro was a factor in Southern politics and the "Lilywhites" first began their efforts to bar him from political conventions. At a Republican State convention in Texas, where the whites and blacks gathered under the leadership of Wright Cuney and defeated the "Lilywhites," the victors were styled by the latter in decision "the Black and Tans." That such a paper as the Sun should seek to derive this term to describe a resort where
white and colored are allowed to enter on the same items; argues the existence of a streak of Lily.

We learn from the Mobile Weekly Press two items of local news, indicative of community progress. One was the formation of a drug corporation to run a drug store and the other the establishment of a playground for Negro youth. Concerning the latter the Press said:

The first unit of equipment has arrived and been installed. It consists of a funnel coaster, a giant stride, a combination swing and a four board seesaw. All the apparatus has been anchored in solid concrete to make it an easily accessible court. A tennis court is being prepared and a base ball diamond has been laid off. Aside from the three hundred dollars set aside by the city for the equipment of the grounds the Harmon Playground Committee, in the spirit of self-help, have raised by their own efforts many of the white friends have sent checks to them to help in their efforts to improve the health conditions of the Negro youths.
Both drug stores and playgrounds are necessary for the welfare of any community in the relief of sickness and the upbuilding of health. The citizens of Mobile have done well to provide both of these agencies for improvement.
The 'Cincinnati-Union' announces the supplying of a long felt want by the organization of a new car company with all colored chauffeurs and other attaches. Is said:
For several years- our people have been at the mercy of unscrupulous taxi drivers. Over charges, inefficient service, unpolliteness was the rule when colored people were the patrons. Lately, since the beginning of the taxi war, white drivers in their fight for business have been more polite and more 'dairious of getting "colored business." The old taxi cab companies were almost too proud to treat colored customers, even with common decency. We have known the response to a response to drive right and drive right away again, without the passengers after seeing that they were colored.
It now remains for the colored people of Cincinnati to support the new company by giving it the preference when in need of taxi service.
According to a news dispatch from Indianapolis, the irony of fate provided that a black man was serving on the grand jury that indicted the ex-grand dragon of the Indiana Klu Klu Klan on a charge of attacking and causing the death of a young white woman. This shows the falsity of the pose of the Klan as the protector of womanhood. "
The annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to be held in Denver next month, will open with a historical pageant, outlined by the Star as follows
"Democracy's Great Heart," a historical pageant of Negro progress and development from the shores of Africa down to the present state of civilization in America will be the opening event of the New York City conference that is to come to Denver next June. The pageant written by Mrs. Lena Barhee of this city is pronounced by competent critics to be a real work of art and will willingly serve as a model for the greater gathering of册符 to be in Denver during the week of June 24 to 30.
In order to properly stage the pageant, a cast of one hundred and fifty characters will be required and these are now being trained by Prof Shirley Laggins. The opening scene in the Wilds of Africa, the first landing on American shores the gripping war review which has been the Great War, the Spanish-American War and the great World War will appear, vividly enacting the thrilling panorama of Negro valor on the field of battle, and then giving a most true picture of our present day advancement. Many of Denver's most talented stage artists will take part in the pageant and Mrs Maxwell will have charge of the dance of the nymphs, which will be the stage performance, it will make use of the finest pieces of art presented to the public in many years.
Evidently the Denver group intends to make this conference a notable occasion in the annals of race history

New, if any, among those American of their country during the years preceding and immediately following the abduction of slavery will oppose the plan to render national tribute to the life and works of Frederick Douglass, himself a former bondman. Among those of his own race there is a movement encouraged and sanctioned by many leading white citizens, to allot to him a niche in the Hall of Fame. Surely if moral cause entitled him to worth cause entitled him to such recognition the qualifications have been met in the present case. Fame knows no color line, no aristocracy of birth or wealth, no country. It is by accomplishment only, by the manutenance of right ideals, and by steadfastness in times of discouragement and adversity that he Laurel wreath is won. bestowal, soon or late, comes only when sacrifices have been made learn to follow in their march upward and rendered.
Douglas was a plantation slave, half Negro, and was sold by his master, a Maryland planter, to a Baltimore shipbuilder, in 1832, at the age of sixteen. Six years later he escaped. Not until 1841, however, was his voice heard in condemnation of the terrible system under which he lived. He was sent to a ticket that he first gave promise of the power and persuasive eloquence which later thrilled audiences both in his own country and in England. He was uneducated, except as he was self-taught, but his thirst for knowledge was inspired by the realization that only through its attainment could he hope to exert an influence which would aid in the deliverance of his people from human bondage. He was educated, and to mark the progress of his fellows ni their march upward and onward
In his lifetime, too, Douglass received that recognition to which he was so justly entitled. In 1871 he was appointed secretary of a commission sent by his government to the United States presidential election, in 1877 he was marshal of the District of Columbian, and later Commissioner of Deeds, and in 1889 he was appointed Minister to Haiti. In Rochester, N.Y. the city is which he filed after escaping from slavery, a monument has been erected in Haiti. In Boston Douglass is named for him. No Negro has heretofore been proposed for a place in the Hall of Laum. Surely it seems fitting that the honor, should he be bestowed. It is an eloquence, a greatness of American democracy. Perhaps it would, likewise, tend to inspire and encourage, as such tributes are intended to do greater unselfish devotion to the cause of humanity everywhere. It is only as humanity is emancipated and redeemed that it can develop and its self-imposed secreteud. A B FIFLD. Sr. Rochester, N.Y.

Sir I have been requested by the Patriotic Union of Haiti and the Haitian people as a whole to congratulate you on your appointment to the pre-employment of this county.

'Endless Torture and Eternal Torment,' was the theme of Pastor Strachan last Sunday night at the Hazlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, 106-108 West 129th street. The minister said, that from a child he believed twenty-two years of age, he believed the doctrine of endless misery study of the wicked before, after a careful view of the Bible, he changed his views. Now he believes the wicked will be annihilated by the fires of the
During the course of his sermon pastor Stirachan said further that: "Thousands of modern ministers have rejected the doctrine of endless misery for the wicked Bishop Foster, at his cent book, says. "The idea of conscious suffering of the wicked is the horror of horrors." Or, Frost a Baptist minister, makes the following strong statement in the Los Angles Evening Express: "I author with all b yheing, the eternal conscious misery of the wicked." Now brethren, personally, believe that if the wicked were permitted to fill eternity with your curses and blasphemies, the uniter would protest against it.
"Wicked men are an abomination unthyly shall he cut off. Nothing is moke, fair, consistent, sensible or real. Why should rebels against the head of Divine Government live? Why should hase unrepentent sinners have any portion whatsoever in the hereafter? Wicked men deserve all law and order. They have respect for the will, the mind, the power, the purpose nor the fear of Jehovah. Why not God demease? Why endless torture for them utterly, at once, and entreat it is foreign to nature; it is contrary to grace. Why not utterly annihilate them? The wicked choose it, and they deserve it. Why they have them it an thoroughly that naught will remain of them they ashes? Well friends, it is precisely what the Lord will do.
Scripture cite quote the language of the Bible. The wicked shall be 'destroyed, pulled down, and demolished. Psalm 145:20. They shall, 'perish,' die come to naught. Psalm 17:10. They lie be, 'burned up,' conceive into smoke, he reduced to ashes. Psalm 1:20. Zeach 14:1, Mal. 4:1-3. They shall, 'pass away,' he blotted out, he rooted, cut out, cut down, cut, cut off. In the Bible, the burning of the wicked is compared with the burning of the most perishable materials, such as fat, wax, skin, and tubule. So completely the ungodly disappear that the wrinkles will be entirely rid of them. A clean sweep of them will be made. Ps. 37:10, 30. Ps. 104:35. 'They shall be as though they had not been.'

Frequently showers failed to lessen the attendance to any appreciative degree last Sunday. Neither would the weather conditions without be a true indication to the degree of spiritual warmth within. Rev. Cullen preached three days during the day, the one in the afternoon and the evening being especially to worshipping fraternal orders. To discuss two distinct types of characters for his morning subject Rev. Cullen used the Prophet Isaiah's metaphor "the bruised reed" and the smoking flax." He elaborated upon the smoking flax or lamp as typhling the individual whose activities are a detriment to the harmonious progress of society. "The bruised reed symbolizes those who have aimed and according to all that is just, deserve punishment, but Chjist because of his infinite mercy them another chance.

The immediate object of this mission was such as to make eight members of the order to join the church. The Independent Order of Moose was the guest of the evening.

A glorious day was enjoyed by all who attended the services at the church Sunday.
In the morning: Pastor Bolden preached from the following teat: "And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of his sight. And while they looked, steadily toward heaven as He wight up, debellied, two men stood by them. In while appalled" Acts, 1:8, 9. "Saint Jasus, Jesus Christ the God-Man in the heavens," Pastor Bolden said: "Lord's tender interest in Peter and the Apostles on the shore of Gallilee, the morning they caught the fish at His command, becomes more striking as we note His command to them in these words, "Follow Me."
According to the writer of the Acts of the Apostles, we observe that in the very introduction of His letter to Theophilus He says, "The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both, to do and teach. Until the day in which he was taken up, after that He through Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the Apostles whom He had chosen: To whom also He shewed Himself alive after His passion by the proof of them forty speeches of the speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God, and being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which saith He, ye have heard of Me.

And the earth laid them it, not for you, to know the Lord or the seasons, which the Father, jath put in His own power. But you shall receive the power, after that, the Holy Ghost come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria, and unto the intermort part of the earth.
Think of the significance in the expression, "Showed Himself alive after His passion." Each of the words "Alive" and "Passion" precipitates an illumination upon His recorded human, death. While His offerings and biblical proofs that He is alive are also very real. The Apostles give us the historical human proofs. Our Lord Jesus the Emanuel Himself gives us the heavenly proofs. And the Holy Spirit, who possesses both the mind of the Father and of the Son in perfect union with His own, gives us the spiritual proofs in our experience after we have been regenerated. The present Eternal Person our Lord Jesus the Emanuel, our absolute soverever, with power over all things, in heaven and earth. God in His history a movement, and in history infancy to the close of His human career, revealed Him as an odd, superior, and divine type of a person born in the human family.
We may note with interest individuals such as Enoch, who walked and talked with God anur was not, for God took him, and Moses, the divine leader and law giver of the children of Israel, whom God called upon a nounth and put him to sleep and a hint away in an unknown grave. And after a period of over one thousand years he comes from heaven in company with another, meets Jesus-Christ out Lord on the Mount of Transfiguration, proving that He was alive and had interested in our Lord's program and passion, or Elijah who was carried up to heaven in a chariot, of fire and also after a period of many centuries accompanied Moses on the occasion previously mentioned on the Mount of Transfiguration. Yet none of these during their human career or manifestations from the spiritual and heavenly realms ever declared that they came that we might have life and have it more abundantly, or that they were going away to prepare a place for us that where they were we might he also; or that they were the resurcee

wanted them both in heaven
and in earth, or that the principles of

Though human beings have shown great achievements in industry, science, art, philosophy and religion, and it looks as if in our day that we are just approaching an era and that we have just tapped the fetish of human knowledge and possibilities, yet none of this is to be compared with the truth and the power that come to those who call the Enigma alive! In the heavens and will, in such a manner and personal appearance that He ascended, return to the earth. May not we believe that a glorious heavenly company of angels constitute what looked to Ishmael as like clouds, escorted Him in the heavenly while these two men, Moses and Elijah, descended and stood among them making a solemn declaration that He would return in like manner. Stephen the first martyr saw Him standing on the right side of God, as a radiant light from Him and heard His voice and obedged. And later declared that he was commissioned to the an apostle to the Gentiles by Him, and further said, "that he knew a man, whether in the body he could tell, but that such a man was caught up into the third 'heaven and saw' things unlawful to utter." St. John the divine says "That God gave Jesus Christ the revelation that he speaks of and that Jesus sent his elations to him by Him. He himself to be the Alpha and Omega. He who was taken alive forever more. The first beaten of the dead, the prince of the kings of the earth. Indeed God the Almighty."
At 2 p.m. Sunday school was opened by superintendent, Rev. William H. Hogans. At the close of the lesson study, the children rehearsed the carols for Children's Day.

Following his talk, Pastor Bolden preached the annual sermon to the R. M. Bolden Council, No. 1004, I. O. of St Luke. This sermon was a continuance of the morning sermon, only in I Pastor Bolden referred to St. Luke. The dinner was served during the day by members of the Energetic Crelle. $5 was given to the church.

On Sunday, May 24 the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. E. Church were attended by large congregations, notwithstanding the inclement weather.
At the morning hour memorial services were held for the late Dr. W. H. Brooks, who died two years ago. The memorial sermon was delivered by the pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson, who, in the course of his eloquent discourse, paid a glowing tribute to his late distinguished predecessor, dwelling at length upon his wisdom and leadership, which characterized Dr. Brook's pastorate of St. Mark's M. E. Church, covering a period of twenty six years. Memorial flowers were given by Mrs. Maud G. Hall and family; Mrs. Rosa Bowen, Mrs. Hattie Hazel, Mrs. Minnie Dyer and 'Miss Anna Toles in memory of Dr. Brooks.

The stormy day had quite an effect on the attendance at services last Sunday, but under the circumstances it was good. Rector Boyd's text was I Peter 4:5. "The end of all things is at hand, he ye therefore solider and watch unto prayer." He stressed that the lack of solitude is the greatest hindrance to traveliness. He often intocked with success and the country is in eminent danger of that kind of intoxication. Then too, one can be mobilized with selflessness, which enables them to watch only one way and that for self. The Sunday school was quite largely attended and Superintendent Hindley is busy making ready for the June walk. The Iwamura session by the Sunday school was interesting; the president read a splendid page on "Walt's impressible page" in the program. Next Sunday the closing session will be held, to open again on the first Sunday in October.

THE material contrast between the structures with which he (Booster, T. Wainton) began and the present great, ample and commensal plant is our inspiration. He was a great believer in the importance of satisfying our needs and encouraging as this is he in but an impatient to work's work and achievement. The education and annual turning out of two or three students is the most commensal and helpful work to ourselves and their families in our course. We must commensal and helpful work what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like ours, where we must live truths which must form the basis of real advance for his race, or for any race. -WILLIAM HOWARD, TAPT, chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

Newman Mem. M. E. Church
"A Call to Holiness," was the subject of the sermon prescribed, by Rev. T. W. Cooper at Newman Memorial M. E. Church on Sunday, mulling May 4. The text was taken from 2 Cor. 6:17, "Wherefore come but from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you." His appeal to the church to make Christianity practical. In the course of his remarks the preacher contended that the world was looking to the church for help in escaping the evils of a sinful life and if the church was to be able to supply titer needs the individual member must set up a toul standard by whichever the world may find their way to Christ.
We are the temple of God and if Christ is His abode in our church the temple must be clean. The Christian cannot go hand in hand with the sinner and wicked an influence int wood.

LEO BRECHER TO TAKE OVER MANAGEMENT OF THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE ON JUNE 4
NINE TRACK AND FIELD RECORDS SMASHED IN 4th CHAMPIONSHIP MEET OF C.I.A.A.
The Lafayette Theatre, located at Seventh avenue between 1031st and 132nd streets, has changed hands, and is now under the management of Leo Brecher, who has until recently controlled the Odeon, Roosevelt and New.Douglas Theatres. The new management announces a most interesting policy—a combination of high class motion pictures, vaudeville and musical comedies. In announcing this policy Mr. Brecher said: "Structurally, the Lafayette is by far the most beautiful theatre in Harlem, and the changes we are planning will make it a credit to the community and to the theatrical profession.
"After an exhaustive study of Harlem's entertainment needs, we have decided upon a continuous policy of

Hampton, Va.—For all-around brilliancy the fourth annual championship track and field meet, held by Hampton Institute on Armstrong Field, May 16, has never been approached in the history of Nine Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association records were smashed. Out of the picture of extreme brilliance and unprecedented action two teams emerged victories as team champions and relay winners Hampton won the collegiate championship with 59 points and swept across the line 20 yards. ahead of West, Virginia Collegiate Institute and became the winner of the first leg on the beautiful Madame Waker collegiate relay trophy.
In the scholastic division Dunbar High School of Washington, D.C., won a close victory over Borden-town for team championship honors with 12 point. In the relay Borden-town and Dunbar won prominence, when Dunbar ran to a new record and a continuing trophy.
Richardson The Hero
Roland Richardson, running under Dunhill colors, was perhaps the real hero of the day, for he earned for himself a place with the elite of track can retain or reclaim beauty of skin hair, athletes when he negotiated the century dash in 9 and 9-10 seconds. Striding with ease and absolutely no nerves or contour of body by formulating a daily plan of exercise to promote a forceful circulation of pure blood through every vein artery and muscle, lost motion, but smoothly and confidently. Richardson leaped across the finish for his enviable record, and repeated in the 220-ward dash by turnout on a mark two records set by Richardson there were four other C's. He standards to suffer division in the scholastic division and three in the collegiate division. One collegiate mark was equalled and one scholastic mark was set in a new event, the Tidewater Relay.
Other New Records
Edward Hargrove throw the javelin for a new record with a heave of 157 feet and 9 inches. I dwarf Jayar whose throw last year of 149 feet 9 inches set a record also passed his old mark when he sent the wooden shaft quivering through the air for a distance of 153 feet 11 inches. The other two records smashed were also in the field division. 11 Pierce St. Paul put the 16-pound box 5 inches to better old mark of 16 feet 6 and held by Johnson of Hampton and Harries of West Virginia. Collegiate Institute sailed the boxes over the former record when he cleared the bar in the pole sault at 10 feet 6 inches. The Baker of Hampton also sailed the old mark by 3 inches when I won second place in this event. Cooks of Union called the 100 and 94 feet 10 and 15 seconds.
Relays Offer Thrills
The scholastic relay was the first relay to be run off. Three teams competed for the race. After the first law Halloide Park High School of Durham N.C. was out of the race, so the real fight lay between Dunbar and Bordentown. George gave Burton a 5 lead over Duck of Bordentown. They became unmanned this lead ever since. The final lap was by Richardson for Dunbar and Roberts for Bordentown. Richardson increased the lead given Roberts and finished 10 yards ahead of Roberts. A new order also led to an under relay record was him by Dunbar.

The connections already made with producers and actors assure a 'distinctly novel, surprising and delightful show. Everything will be done for the 'comfort and enjoyment of the thirth patrons of the Lafayette.
"In order to accommodate those whose working hours do not permit them to see early shows, the performances will be continuous from 1 p.m. to 12 midnight.

Preston turned in one of the best races of the day in running the final quarter for Hampton. The shortest man to run in the relay, he nevertheless gave a thrill to the spectators by his magnificent striding. Hampton's time was 3 minutes 35 and 4-10 seconds.
One interesting coincidence was that three brothers—Lessie Baker of Virginia Normal, and Elmer and Francis Baker of Hampton—fought it out in several events. Lessie and Elmer both placed in the pole vault, one equaling and one breaking the old record. Elmer Baker won the high hurdles, while Francis won the high jump at five feet eleven inches.

CRICKET NEWS
Cricket in the metropolitan district is now making a strong bid for far vor. More clubs are at present organized than ever before. With the coming of sunshine, in all the little byways and hedges may be seen a loyal few practicing the art of the game so dear to their hearts.
Lack of proper ovals such as we once had, (Olympic Field, Lenox Oval, Hawkins Field, though it was rather small.) have served as a detriment to the game.
New York Oval is obtained only at such a price that to make it a paying proposition it has to be literally packed; before it can bring in an appreciable return:
For the last few years, Commercial Field in-Brooklyn has been well patronized. But it is a weather long hop for the fans in this locality (and I assure you, they are just as rabid as any that attend the big baseball games).
Why is it that clubs of the strength of the West Indian C, C, Spartan F, C, Bormuda C, C, Jamaica, C, C, have not banded themselves together and obtained grounds somewhere in our vicinity convenient for the patronage of the loyal supporters of the game. Nothing but talk, talk, talk. Every year West Indian C, C, is rumored as having done so, only it never comes through.
The game will pay for itself when suitable attractions ar offered. Clubs of the standing of the Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn, Bayridge C. C., and Montelair A. C, and others of like strength would be greatly appreciated by the fans, seeing them lined up against our best.
Competition—that's the stimulant needed. Give us more of it. Get out of being an old man's game. Young men put the snap, peep, which is very essential, absolutely necessary, before it can hope to obtain the acknowledgement of the citizens of this wide-awake republic. By so doing we will not be only able to draw a West Indian crowd, but an American as well.
Do not forget that the game needs patronage to build it. Put it on the plane where it rightfully belongs.
To see some of our local players practicing, is enough to make a boothless woman smile, (and you know how often she smiles). Back break swings, taking up shovelfalls of the park loam at a time, slices and cuts at the air, odd, ungraceful, uncouth positions at bat, on the field. Who, wouldn't smile. It is not this type of cricket that makes, an appeal. Give us the style of a Frutzie Hinds, an Ollie Lane, an Alan Waltcott, a Fonnie Lewis, a Will Gibbs. Such ease, every move a picture, poetry of motion. Perfect coordination of every movement. Their stroking and placing is done with such precise timing, that it is a joy to behold. Will is yet to be mastered at the
Will is yet to be mastered at the part of running between wickets Heels
Roger Baldwin Urges Racial Cooperation
That there will be no permanent solution of the race-problem until the unprivileged who join hands with the unprivileged of other races, was the burden of the address on "Is Free Speech Good For Negroes?" which was delivered at the People's Forum in the Lafayette Building 165 West 131st street last Sunday night by Regers N. Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The address covers the activities of the Union behalf of Negroes, not only in the United States, but also in the Virgin Islands, where the natives are carrying on a free-speech light against Governor Philip Williams, a southern office who recently suppressed the local legislature because the few hundred people who have the vote elected Negro representatives head of white Despite the inclement weather, the forum musured a respectable audience who listened to "That Soldier on the common good," as the chairman. Dr Hubert Harrison, described Mr. Baldwin.
Before the discussion which followed the lecture, William Service Bell, harboring, rendered several flawless selections, with Hall Johnson at the piano.

afraid, however, that whoever is responsible for the direction of her work is, asking just a bit too much of her for, in addition to her youth, as is possessed of a rather frail physique and she tasks set for her她 a little more, in my opinion, than she should be asked to do just yet. It must be remembered that she is not a fully mature pygmum; and it is entirely within the range of possibility, to strain and injure her vocal organs to a degree that will impair her future development.
The wise, trainer restrains and curbs youthful exuberance, whatever his line of work may be, and does not, permit undiexertion until fully assured his charges are able to stand the pressure. The tenor Leviticus Lyon, has a voice of self-affirmation and with considerable sweetness; and engages quality, but when he is called upon to essay, forte passages, there is evidence of forcing which produces a slight hardness of tone. His singing is that of an exceptionally intelligent artist, and he has admirable vocal technique. In the cantata, the tenor is that of an equally begun of work and the constant eagle he uses its effect towards the end. In a slight husbiness—not as great, however as was exhibited by the baritone.
"The soprano, Miss Minnie Brown, is a seasoned, thoroughly equipped artist, and her work throughout "the evening afforded keen pleasure." She sang Kimi's "Sweet Dreams" as the sickle moon" with a full-fledged pathos that revealed the child's love for Sawara as the despairing appeal of a soul just awaking to life and its stern reality—a maid becoming a woman. And when she sang, "Others are happy," she sang, "Others are hitherto undreamed possibilities of what life means to the maid and her lover."
One of the most enjoyable experiences of the evening was the pianoforte playing of Miss Lydia Mason, the principal accompanist. James Walker was at the second piano, and Mr. Moore, the organist who played for the concert two years ago, was on duty again. The organist originally engaged, Julian F. Adger of Boston, and the accident the previous Friday, and could not come to New York for the concert. Mr. Jackson state, that he attempted to secure the service of-Leon Adger or other competent coloured organists of the club, but those he tried to engaged were unable to accept Mr. Moore was engaged late Sunday evening, and he gave a satisfactory performance.
But, as aometioned, it was on Miss Mason that most of the task of accompanying fell, and she performed in distinction and ability. Artist and layman in the exquisite beauty of her playing. And the composer has given to his accompaniments for this work such an elaborate form as to call for a high degree of virtuosity on part of the player.
The conducting of the entire work by Mr. Jackson revealed a musciantly knowledge of considerable extent. I do not know just what the numerical count of his choral would disclose, but it is of massive proportions, and the various voice sections are well and equably balanced. With such a wealth of material it is not surprising that this young musician can bring to his hearsers opportunity to enjoy great music by masters that he has never heard other music masters not so well endowed with ensemble quality.
An unfortunate lapse, however, was disclosed when, in order to keep his singers to the tempo and attack, the conductor had to use his baton and music rack as a means for audible beating of the rhythm The tap-tap of the stick was decidedly disconcerting
Preceding the canata, the choir sang with fine spirit and effect a number of Spirituals, one arranged by Harry Burleigh, four by Mr Jackson himself (The "Don't be weary, traveller" was especially good), and one in old camp meeting style. Part second offered a group of solos and an ensemble number. "Music in the Mines in Deft Lula Snowden sang Woodman's, 'Birthday Song', Mr Kairson sang 'Do Possence' from Goundn's "Faust", Miss Green gave Saint-Saens's "Arm" "Mon coure sourire a ta voix" (My heart at thy sweet voice) from "Samson et Dedhla,

and Mr. Ilyson's number was that
but he had added a daughter
from "La Serenade" by Gate B
Basson. The tenor "obligato" in
the Dett number was sung by Mr.
Wilson.
Following the concert, a reception to the choir and their friends, with the choir of Salem M F Church as special guests of honor, was held in the church parish house, West 3rd street. After refreshments, the pastor Rev P. Robinson, introduced Coun- P Dr. C. P.

The third vesper service at Sioma
Presbyterian Church, Lafayette avenue,
Brooklyn, the Rev. George Shippen
Stark, pastor, held Sunday, May 24,
at 5 o'clock, was marked by the ap-
pearance of the Weir-Jeter Trio, an or-
ganization of instrumentists of the
first rank.
The program, as with all of these
services, featured only Negro music—
that is, Negro folk song and Spirituals.
The Trio is composed of Felix P. Weir,
violin; Leonard L. Jeter, piano;
and H. Leonard, letter sello.
Unfortunately, just after a 4: clock, a heavy thunder and a storm broke over Brooklyn, and a consequence the audience was considerably smaller than had been expected. But those who braved the elephant and came to hear these musicians were more than repaid. Each member of the role is an accomplished artist, with full and simple technical equipment. They have been associated for some time, and the result is a community of sympathy, and a uniform of utterance that is unusual. Only the fact that it was a religious service, in a church auditorium, restrained the congregation from breaking out in prelations. All present in expressions to the effect that it was a rate and unusual musical performance by artists of unusual cultural attainment.
The program opened with three transcriptions of American Negro Spirituals by Samuel Coleridge Taylor for violin, cello and piano—I was way down yonder, "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child" and "I always loved with the divered Daniel" and "I always loved with out the wealth of harmonic fabric, with which the great Afro-English composer has invested them.
The same composer's group of Four African Dances for the violin was played exquisitely by Mr. Weltt. His bowing was superb, his fingering without a flaw, and he displayed unusual depth and emotion. As an accompanist, Miss Jessen was all that could be desired: she displayed technic of high order, and gave sympathetic and intelligent accord to every mood of their fellow players. As a solist, she played Dr. Melville Charlton's beautiful little Poet Eroiqueste Barcacallo from Dante's Dei'te in the Dante Sette. To both of the composers she gave charm and distinction in impeccable interpretation.
The early playing of Leonard Jets is always a joy-and-a delight and the seemed to be especially inspired on this occasion. He played "Deep River" and a transcription of "When the musits have rolled away," both arrangements by himself and sister, and every heart was stirred by the deep, vibrant and colorful tones brought from the strings of this instrument.
The final number brought a group of Spiritual arranged by Mr. Jeter and Mr. Wear for violin and cello only, and their playing of "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen." "My Lord, what a morning" and "Stay in the field" set as the climax which capped an afternoon's program of the highest merit.
After the program had been conceived, Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell, organist-director of Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn, happened in writing a trio of his chair members, and had been filling another engagement, and at request of the pastor, gave in an impromptu rendition consisting of a solo by Mrs. Parish soprano, and a trio "Deep River", which was greatly enjoyed by the choir sang two Spirituals, "Gundert hear nobody pray", and as an offerory, "Evry time I feel de Spirit".
Next Sunday, May 31, a Dett program will be rendered by the Dett Musical Club of Flushing, with 25 voices, Stephen Boone president, with Levitancin, tenor solist of St. Mark's M.E. Church, Manhattan, as director Mirel Thelmia Berlack of New York University will speak briefly. The final Sunday, June 7, will bring Ms. Minnie Brown, soprano solist of St. Mark's P.

Lawshock field secretary of the Brooklyn Christian Endeavor Union, was the special speaker at the Christian Endeavor service at 6:30 p.m. The Grace Orchestra furnished special music on this occasion.
The pastor's theme at the morning service "John and the Baptism" was a comprehensive thesis of the sometimes perplexing theory of baptism. Frought with a wealth of information and putting in rest these technical issues by a large number of church members, it was most satisfying from a denominational view point and gave a true interpretation of the scriptures.
"A True Estimate of Men" was the theme at the evening service. The Sons and Daughters of Virginia was a representative group of men and women many of them reading back to a grand heritage soulsafed to them by the worthy sizes of that grand old state, which has given many bright stars among the world of men and made history for those of our group. Dr. Rollin's, known as "The blind preacher" was the guest of Dr. Brown during the day and preached for the Rev. Tyler at 8 a.m. Dr. Rollin's pastors at New Bremen, N.C. Tuesday, Jun 2 the last quarterly conference for the conference year will be held. The report will undoubtedly show the largest gains of Rev. Brown's ministry at this church.

The National Urban League of New York City, Eugene Kinnickle, executive secretary, has inaugurated an industrial program, and has brought T. Arnold Hill, vice president of the Chicago branch, to New York City as director of the Department of Industrial Relations. Mr Hill has written an article on his duties. The New York Age, which has heightened its importance of the resource, has appointed the earner to maintain the strategic advantage. North and South, now that Europe has been cemented, restrictions anderna business is reported. He appealed out by Mr. Hill that the formation of the Negro, from South to North began nine years ago, the coming of some seven hundred thousand teachers and that the increased teacher opened the eyes of the nationalists, "who were, as and present to the workers as the far-off Negro labor has successively increased the new areas of industry, and show the ratio of constant increase particularly in the decade from 1920 as follows:

view took the lead with

crease of 6113 acres in Cleveland, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia followed in the older town. It is conceded that the greatest contributing factor to the migration was economic. No one would dare duplicate the fact that through the South has long denied its cooled population, the justice and protection to which it is entitled under the Constitution of the United States. It is known that it is possible to have indicted unlawful miners to leave their native habitat, opportune better wages than the South. This explains why through Nagara and been free, for sixty years, during which time they had the right to live, anywhere they pleased, and though the North offered education and social advantages superior to those of the South, nineteen of them remained South in constant fear and subjection.
In other words the North offered freedom, but little else. The South gave them work, mental, though it was. That they have succeeded in the North is admitted by employers and students of labor problems. Questionnaires sent to employers in many cities are to the grocers are success in an industrial and give assurances that they will be kept in industry. Records in Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Fittsburg, Niamey and many other cities bear abundant and conclusive testimony to the success of the colored man and man in skilled and semi-skilled trades.
For instance, Detroit had 13.5 per cent. Negroes in the automobile plants in 1920 as compared with less than one-half of one per cent, in 1910. In Philadelphia the percentage of longshoremen and stevedores increased from 44.7 per cent in 1910 to 59.2 per cent in 1920. Joseph A. Hill of the Census Bureau, reports that the Indian percentage of mills employed as laborers semi-skilled workers in the stockyard, slaughter houses, steel, mills and at general labor, increased from 35 per cent in 1910 to 207 per cent in 1920. The Chicago Commission on Race Relations estimated that sixty-two manufacturing establishments which employed 1,346 colored employees in 1915, employed 10,587 in 1920, an increase of 688 per cent in manufacturing than 70,000 Negroes were engaged in mechanical and industrial occupations in 1920 as compared with 27,000 in 1910.
Process Not Completed
Their admitted ad cense do not complete the process. The 18.4 per cent of the gainful, yed Negro population was in man, maturing, and mechanical purity in 1920 (an increase of fifty per cent since 1910 when the ad percentage was 82.6 per cent) the advance will not be continuous unless a further step is taken. In fact, the gain acquires an increase in value that will become self-satisfied. Beyond the rays of lights threatening clubs are hitting. The South is anxious to say, "I told you so."
First the employers had to be convinced that colored men and women were available for work in trades and shops in which they had not been used. A number of employers sincerely advised against bringing Negroes North on the ground that they would contaminate the morale and health of the white people among whom they were to live. And there was no end to conjecture about their ability to stand nothern climate
This scare passed, the second step was for the Negro to demonstrate his fitness for industrial labor. Since this has been done with more or less satisfaction throughout the North and West, we must go now, with precision and thoroughness, to the third step—the relationship of the colored worker to his job and the job to him. We must be certain that the fundamental principles admittedly, operating throughout the science of economics, are at work to enhance the value of Negro labor as the position asset. We must be sure to let the immutable law of supply and demand affect Negroes as it does all other workers but we are not content to leave them to be hired in emergencies and discharged as a group when one of them fails, thus placing them in an embarrassing position as steady and finished workers.
No longer should the colored workingmen be tools of employers who exploit them as strike-breakers and use them to cheat wages, or of employees who retard their admonition by obeying the expressive discriminatory practices. Apprenticeship, so often necessary for city permits and for union membership, must not be denied on account of color. If collective bargaining is a sound economic rule for the laboring classes, then it ought to apply alike to all races. If the labor force is the aggregate of the labor forces. Any other system is unsound economically and injurious to Negro welfare.
To Farm in the North
Though more than half of the wage-earning Negroes are farmers, their labor is agriculture is confined almost exclusively to the South, where unfair commissary agreements have long been the subject of complaint and criticism by coloured critics and sociologists. The interest in agriculture and in justice to the experience and skill of Negro farmers, many of whom would welcome the opportunity to pursue their calling in the North, instead of laboring in shop and plants, agricultural advantages in the North must be found as a part of the next step. Cooperative marketing channels between the consumer and producer of farm products. Is the Negro property relater, even in the South, to this modern of selling? Throughout New England and the West, farming through the aid of the government and agricultural associations, is returning to its flourish since it is not the time, therefore, to present the Negroes' subjec- tive for agrarianism and labor work in the South.
But the colored worker must do his
men. Too often it has been possible for persuade employers to give each colored men when suitable applicants should not be bound. With all that the educational institutions of the South have done for Negro literaries have still amassed a large unified need in the training of young men and women for business and trades.
Embryonic Appreciation
Intelligent appreciation of the relationship of the Negro to the world labor movement is. In embryonic stage. Here again is a field for thorough study and research. Labor colleges are offering courses especially adapted to the requirements of working men. Negro men and women should enter them whenever the doors are open to them. In most cases, there is a direct relationship with the American Federation of Labor and the same determined to offer membership in all sincerity of Negro workers.
It is this third step that interests the newly formed Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League—the development of the proper relationship between the colored worker and his job. With employers we shall work to secure better jobs at adequate pay and to obtain recognition on the basis of merit on the end that colored workers will be offered positions in keeping with their fitness. Trained young men and women from our colleges and universities will position that their predecessors allied efficiently without training. Employers must be informed of the new army of trained young people growing in size and capacity yearly.
Upon organized labor we shall stress the recognition of Negro tradesmen in all lines that are unionized. The procedure which many of the trade associations follow leaves no course open to the Negro, save that of breaking strikes and underbidding, white workers who are frequently in competition with him. The Negro shall hold out encouragement and shall instruct. We shall show him instances of the rewards that have come from honest effort and hard work and of the failures that have resulted from inefficiency. We shall point out to him the necessity of linking up with his fellow white workers in organized movements whenever he may be benefited thereby. We shall urge the public to maintain an permanent with respect to the success of the Negro. We with public opinion to grant him the right to live, in decent houses and in neighborhoods accessible to his work. High educational standards should be maintained in the schools which are open to him and every essential opportunity should be granted.
