One representative was elected from each district, by votes of the delegates from that district. It was sometime after the election that representatives from the southern colleges found they had voted for a married woman as representative, and they immediately attempted a revolt. One school, the University Louisiana, withdrew. The college had a whole refuse to permit Miss Holloway to be outside because of the opposition of the university, declining to give support in that way to race, prejudice.

The meeting was held at Salem M. E. Church the largest church in Harlem. There were some 4,000 people inside, including those in the lecture rooms and gallery and it was estimated that as many more were unable to gain admittance to the building, Darrow spoke downstairs to the overfitting road after finishing his speech upstairs. Among those present were a score of prominent ministers who were some what shocked by Mr. Darrow's first utterances. In a conversation time of voice he began his main address of one and a half hours by saying, I don't know whether the Almighty delivered Daniel from the lions den or not, but he did its about time he was working another such miracle in his hall of the Negroes of this country. A little further along Mr. Darrow took a thing as Christians as practiced by white people in this country. He pointed to the white and colored M. M.

There are in such shades I am black in white and the family I am in any individual I have asked to be enough, a mixture I are will be and A Norda has good theoretical ideas but never carries them any further than his mind. In ad vung his hearers Mr Darrow said: You're too blooming pous. It's time you're realized that it's the Almighty was going to do anything too you he would have done it long ago. I have a suspicion that He is a Nordic anyway. The more Negroes find they can't depend on Daniel and the Lord how get hues themselves. the further they will get along Mr Darrow told something of his early life saying that he was born in that section of Illinois where John Browns family was raised and in his youth the abolitionists of that section looked up to the Negro and did what they could to help them Since that time the whites of the North and West have become more and more indifferent and if not actually as prejudiced as the Southerners they were potentially so. There is no intrinsic difference between the attitudes of North and South towards the Determined to protect his right to enjoy his home, even on Caslifton Hill, in a section of Staten Island populated by whites, Samuel A. Browne, the Negro mail carrier, of 67 Fairview avenue has filed complaint in a surrever entered in the Richmond County Clerk's office, asking $100,000 damages from nine of his white neighbors on the ground that they have sought to oust him from his home. Mrs. Browne, who teaches in a public school at Dongan Hills, Staten Island, is a joint plaintiff in the action with her husband. and the mortgage on his home five closed. White Attacked House. * Next Doctor Neighbor Named. The complaint names first their next door-neighbor, Musco. M. Robertson, who is a wealthy real estate dealer, and head of the Robertson Development Co., which has operated, largely in the Castleton Hill section development. Robertson, in August, was indicted by the grand jury for conspiracy to oust Browning from the community, and five other white men were named as "John Doct" in the same indictment. The eight others named in their complaint, by Browning and his wife are Lewis, Mr. Robertson, John Doct, Musco, Charles, John Doct, William A. R. R. R. R., and John Doct. "John Doct" indicted in August. Two Years ago, Mr. Browning, who is a veteran of the Spanish-American War, and his wife, a graduate of Columbia University, paid over $500 for the Fairview avenue home, and moved in with their three children. Immediately the whites of the neighborhood, led, it is alleged, by Robertson, began a campaign to get them out. An offer of $9,000, which was relinquished, was followed by a supplement offer of $10,000, and the Browning were on the point of accepting the latter offer, when they discovered that the whites had conspired to have his insurance cancelled. in Church On Sunday To w at N. A. A. C. P. Meeting grope. There is only a different kind of problem. Continuing along this line the speaker said: "The first duty of the Negro is to himself and to his race. I could not say this for any, other race, but I can't understand how Negroes can have any real interest in a government that has always exploited them and never given them proper protection." Continuing his advice the speaker said that the Negroes of this country have been living on tips as a race. Get where you can give tips instead of accepting them. He concluding his argument he said that the only badge of equality the Negro has in the North is the ballot and it has his opinion that Negroes had made the mistake of their lives in vot- ing one way all the time. He indepen- dent, keep politicians guessing never le姆 count your votes before elec- tion, he counseled. By way of conclusion he said the whites have no power to get rid of the black race. The future is not all black nor all white for you. The tree- ling against the Negro is purely presuppose and must be changed by your lives and habits and in no other way. Before Mr. Darrow began speaking, Walter F. White assistant secretary reviewed the Sweet trial, which took place in Detroit during the month of November and told of the spendid work Mr. Darrow had done in behalf of the defendant. He said that a retrial would begin the first week in January and the outlook for an acquittal was long. Robert W. Baglain director of Branches then made an appeal for tenders to the Sweet Defense. The audience responded liberally. There were contributions of $100 from Watt Terry H. Adlittle Howell, Dr Baxter George W. Allen, the Imperial and Monarch Judges of Elks Mrs Thorpe and Mrs Sangler $167 from the babes of Yankee and $122 from the babes of State Island contributed through William Fulkens. In addition there were contributions of $50 and $25. The total amount raised was over $1000 James Weldon Johnson executive secretary of the Association, presided and produced Mr. Darrow. A group of Negro Spirulina was rendered by J. Rasamond Johnson and Taylor Gwinnow "Lift Ewty Voice and Sing." written by James Weldon and J. Rosamond Johnson, was sung by the audience. The invocation was by the Rev A. C Garner, and the benediction by the Rev H. H. Prepere. and the mortgage on his home closed. .. Whites Attacked House. Then he decided to refuse all offers to buy him out and to stay in the home he had bought. While the $10,000 offer was being considered, a range of whites attacked the property and destroyed thrubbery and broke window glasses. It is on this outrage that the indictment of Robertso was based, and he is under $500 bonds. Since that time a policeman has been constantly on guard at the Browne home. The home specifically charges Robertso and the eight co-defendants with conspiring to have the mortgage on his house foreclosed, to have his insurance policies canceled, to have the attack made upon the house which resulted in damage to his house, and windows, and also to have him transferred to another point. Mr. and Mrs. Browne declare that they were willing to agree to sell their house to the whites for a fair price until intimation is made that they determined to ask a matter of principle even though the whites resorted to extreme violence. Robertso and his fellow defendants deny all allegations in the complaint, admitting, however that they had tried to discuss the situation. They claim they had merely discussed the purchase of the property and that violence was the last thing they desired.

This place, one of the most notorious for Harlem, is due to be padlocked, it is said, within the next few weeks, and so when Smith, who had been frequent calls on Levy, leaving each time with his pocket knife, bequerel than, when he went in, called Monday: morning to make his usual collection, the Jew decided he had paid out about enough graft on the Lenox avenue place, and the officer's detainment was refused. While trying to enforce his claim to largess, the officer, it is said, indulged rather freely in the deadly concoctions which Levy is selfing under the guise of liquor, and in a short while, the vile staff, combined with disappointment at not getting the expected emoluments, went to Officer Smith's head, and he began to "rough house" the place. Would Not Leave Joint Then Levy tried to get rid of his unwelcome guest, but the guest would not budge. That started the excitement. Voluble and shrill, the Jew bootlegger expressed his opinion of the grafting policeman, and, drunken and dogged the Irish cop demanded satisfaction. Finally, in desperation, the traffic officer was summoned from his post at the corner of Lenox avenue and 135th street, and asked to remove the intoxicated man. The officer explained his inability to enter the premises; simply to eject a person, and demanded he be made, in which case, he would take both Jew bootlegger and Irish cop to the station house. But the booch seller did not dare authorize an arrest, nor did the palm-itching policeman want his former "good thing" interfered with. Several Officers Present The excitement continuing, a half-dozen police officers both in uniforms and plaid shirts, were attracted to the second. None of these would do more than try to cover up for their brother officer, who was almost in a state of irresponsability. Then, when the curious crowds, assembled on the pavement outside, began to wonder as to the ultimate outcome, one of the plain clothes officers came out and said, "It's all right; don't bother him. Jack will take him away." Then the officer came out and staggered across the street, accompanied, in rather followed by a little Negro, said to be the cop's stoopdog. The policeman went to an auto median which he had left on the other side of the street, and as the little fellow the door to get, the little fellow he had gave him a shovel. It was as if a sparrow had pecked at a hawk for the cup a big straping fellow an elephant beside a donkey in comparison to the other—pardon attention to the shovel, but crawled no attention to the shovel, but crawled and started up his machine. My departure was perhaps accelerated by the fact that just at this stage of the occurrence a police sergeant hosed into the offing. By the night the police had reached the special Service Spad Officer Smith had driven off on the street. Officers Flout The Law The traffic cop returned to his post, and expressed disgust, more by mien than words, that a fellow officer should thus make a spectacle of himself in manners that makes a travesty of the Enough Evidence Is In U. S. Atty's Office To Close These Joints at Once law enforcement activity of the police force. Violating the traffic law, he applied, was a small matter as compared to the vastly more serious action of 'kill arrest bounty of laws which an officer is sworn to enforce. Leedy and Goldberg are preparing themselves, it is said, for the impending padlocking of the 503 Lenox avenue joint, which, by the way, was previously padlocked because of violations the National F prohibition Law by former owners, Hyman Kassell and Blatt, partners in the bagging operations. It is reported that a newly opened another place at 114 West 135 st street, rear of a car garage. Many complaints are being made by other bootleggers that police officers are becoming rapacious in their financial demands. One tells of calls made by officers riding in department cars, who bluntly demand certain payments, and who, when told that business is poor, or that other expenses are crippling, simply lay the ultimatum that they should be allowed through the bootleger is softly told. Of you don't have to pay if you don't want to." Any bootleger has some enough to know what kind of an iron clap is hidden beneath this velvet paw. And the biggest growl is that while the officers can make a lot of trouble by seeding in steel pigeons and framing up cases, they cannot deliver the news to the public, so they are selling, for the federal groups must be met and taken care of as well. Man Asked For Match Gives It, Loses $122 Held Up In 5th Ave. By Two Who Overlook Gold Watch In Another Pocket Man Asked For Match Gives It, Loses $122 Held Up In 5th Ave. By Two Who Overlook Gold Watch In Another Pocket A man who states that he is a stranger in the city tells that he left his rooming place in Fifth avenue, near 125th street, Sunday night and went out for an airing and got robbed by a strange man. At first the man reported his watch and chain had been stolen. He states that he walked West on 125th street to Eighth avenue on 134th street and thence back eastward to Fifth avenue where he was asked for a match by a man on the street. He says he accommodated the man who he had met and was told that the stranger had taken him and he struck the match and began looking on the sidewalk for something. The alleged victim states that he helped the strange man look for the lost money and as he searched up to the entrance of the building, another man standing in the doorway pouled him in and the two men robbed him. When he was turned lose and told to beat it he complained to the men that the $122 was all the money he had in the world. Then one of the men took pity on him and gave him back fifty cents for his breakfast. When he got back to his room he states that he found out that the holdup men had overlooked his gold watch and chain. Detective Connolly of the loth Precinct is working on the case.

Smith The Nervous Child There are many children whose general irritability places them in the rather indefinite class of "nervous child." These babies are particularly susceptible to sensory stimuli, that is, easily frightened by bright lights, sudden noises, sudden changes of temperature as exhibited when they are given a bath. They are awakened easily and have "hits" of crying without apparently sulking or laughing. The children of convulsions or stiffening of the extremities. They may be addicted to thumb-sucking or in bos particularly to masturbation though a similar tad, if it's not unknown among girls. Bed-wetting and habit-spasms are frequent. Digestive symptoms are common. They take the breast badly. Despite sufficient milk they are always hungry their capacity for food is limited their appetite for food is common. Sometimes the child is formed of "saccharine" milk the child gets older and the periodic attacks of vomiting Even if weaning is afterfeeding the child is difficult one asks the child stubbornly to eat food, much to the distress of the pup, and the embarrassment of the doctor. This excessive activity and difficult absorption of food naturally leads to a malnourished state. Fatigue is when the child has reached the rupiphae state, excessively in the earlier part of the day and are listless in the afternoon. When the child gets older contact with its new environment brings on more difficulties.

She testified that she had been working as a presser in a Third avenue shop previous to the accident saving $22 week, but was unable to return to her job for seven weeks after the accident. She said in court that her back was in bandages for two weeks and that her physician attended her every day for ten days, and thereafter twice a week, until the fifth week of her illness. She was stated on the witness stand that she had spent more than $15 for medicines alone.

This tendency as well as the earlier bad management is conductive to an exaggeration of the nervousness. Now we are most likely to the child-suffering from night terrors, using the mental stuttering. More serious mental symptoms come manifest, such as vague fears (phobias), self-accusatory delusions, hysteria and some authorities say the much more serious condition called the praecox (a gradual deterioration of the praecox and emotions though the intelligence remains for sometime intact). This however is an extreme probability. In the management of these cases the first, consideration should be given to a careful history paying attention to the developmental history of the child and the developmental history of the family, and the developmental history of the child when it could hold up its head when it unsupported, appearance of the first teeth when it began to walk and talk. It is should be made conspicuous in the history and its development in the environment, physical exertion, and made by your doctor. The development of the teeth in mankind is due to physical defects which as bad teeth, tonsils, malnutrition (which may be a cause as well as a result), anemia and infections (or clears up many cases under our observation). Thirdly a mental test by a competent examiner familiar with habits and mental life of children. Fourthly knowledge of the adults surrounding the child and their mental attitudes and the conditions about the home as hygiene and the factors of moral and spiritual contempt of prime importance in guiding us as to the possible causes for the "gervous child". 369th Infantry To Be Reviewed by Col.

Th. couldn' on, which we live, need real leaders who have conquered their lives for the uptility of humanity. Today, men who were once blind have had their eyes opened to look through the glass; whether they are standing on another. The question that has been asked by the prominent people of the Gold Coast all over the world is: Why have the numbers of the A.M. M. E. Zion Church of the Gold Coast given themselves to be dedicated by the public. They ask the question for reason that the church in America has not fulfilled her promise from time to time for the support of the work. Bishop Walter came to the Gold Coast and promised to awaken the entire Church in America to a realization of the financial difficulties in the field—and the big opportunity, but when he got back to America the promise was not fulfilled. Bishop Wood also came to the Gold Coast, and promised to bring the attention of the Home Church in America to the financial situation for the work of Gold Coast, and assured the church at Cape Coast that he would see that the grants in aid of foreign work are sent regularly, but when he got to America, he buried his promise and never thought of the good people in Africa. In 1922-23 Dr. W. W. Matthews made a brief visit to Africa and visited Quittah and Cape Coast, but was unable to go round to the outstandings as Bishop C. C. Alleyne did later. According to his figures, his trip to Africa cost about $479.04. When he reached Cape Coast where the annual conference was concerning, he could not wait to hear their hardships and struggles which they have encountered from time to time for the spread of the work but proceeded to insult them, by saying that he had not entered into any agreement with them hence he did not owe them. When the people got annoyed he quoted St. John, chapter 16, verse 7, and assured the people that he would go and send the comforter, which is the grant in aid of the work. For one half years, the people waited without seeing or hearing from the comforter, and so in 1924 he towed to withdraw to find a comforter from another denomination supervision with financial support was calculated to be helpful to the growing and much struggling missionary field. In 1925 Rev C C. Alleyne, editor of the Quarterly Review, was appointed resident bishop of Africa and landed on Gold Coast sometime in January. When he got to Quittah he was informed that the West Gold Conference had really withdrawn from the A. M. F. Zion, Connection O. of the Jst of December, 1924. Prof. J. E. K. Aggrey met the committee of withdrawal by special appointment and offered to plead on behalf of Zion Connection in America, and begged the committee to suspend further action in the withdrawal movement in order to permit Bishop Alleyne, on arrival, to place before the special committee through Prof. Aggrey certain reforms or better and healthy proposals for the future satisfactory (financial or otherwise) conduct of the work in the West Gold Coast Conference, the understanding was that the members of the West Gold Coast Conference shall have the option, of course to accept or reject the bishop's proposal as the case may be The special committee realizing the wisdom of giving such an opportunity did accept Prof. Aggrey's offers and overtures, and therefore Prof Aggrey with the prominent members of the Gold Coast, gathered at Mr. Ampiah's hall to witness the terms and proposal placed before the committee and advised the members of the West Gold Coast Conference to receive the bishop, and to give him an opportunity. The bishop, after the meeting, traveled extensively through the territory of the West Gold Coast Conference, and found that the conference a very bad condition, financially, and promised to give the whole church a comprehensive report and to do all he could waken the Home Church needs of the Gold Coast Conference. During the Annual Conference held at Cape Coast, the bishop sent six cables to America with no reply from Board of Bishops or the Porelism Mission Board. About three months ago, Mrs. Francis, one of the American missionaries who came with the bishop to the Gold Coast, was seriously ill and therefore was invalided by the government medical doctor and was advised to go back to America. Over seven cables were sent to the Board of Foreign Missions in America by the husband, Rev Taylor, the Church and the white people In Winnebah for money to defray her passage to America, with not a single word in reply until the manager of Bank of British West Africa in Winnebah cabled, and the next da, the sum of $500 was received and Mrs Francis and her son were despatched to America. The white and native Africans of the Gold Coast have realized that the A M F Zion Church cannot do missionary work on the Gold Coast. A few years ago, one Rev. Thomas Davis was sent as a missionary to Liberia, but assigned and joined the Liberian Government in consequence of the disappointment given him by the Foxenig Mission Board. One Rev Garland was sent to Liberia with his wife and he also resigned. If the A M E Zion Church in America cannot support their missionaries who have been sent to Africa, how much more can they support the 5 Room Apartments To Let.

A review of the census figures, relating to the farming industry in certain counties, published in a recent issue of The Age, pointed to the fact that the farmer is doomed to be a vanishing factor, unless the conditions affecting this industry are relieved. Especially is this true of the Negro farmers of the South, many of whom are abandoning the soil and finding places in Northern industries. The breaking away of the cropper or tenant farmers from the exploitation which has kept them in virtual slavery is a good thing, but the number of farm owners deserting their holdings is to be regretted for many reasons. Of course conditions for these owners probably became so intolerable that they were literally forced to sacrifice their property and seek a livelihood in other environments. But with the annual increase in the population of this country at the rate of a million and a half months to feed, the owner of productive acreage should occupy an enviable position in the next few years. At the present time, however, it must be admitted that farmers all over the land have become discouraged, because the period of readjustment to normal conditions after war prosperity has borne hardly upon them. The prices paid for their crops fell off, while their expenses continued at a high figure. Over production ruined the sale of certain crops, while export orders fell off, with the resumption of agriculture abroad. Denied a share in the benefits of the rural credits system provided by congress to help all farmers without distinction of race, a large number of colored farmers will be obliged to give up the struggle unless conditions are changed. At a recent conference held in Washington the subject of rural credits was discussed. Men from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia Mississippi Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan stated that colored farmers in these states were not being fairly treated in the allotment of loans through the Federal Farm Loan system. The question of a more liberal extension of loans to this class of farmers was taken up with President Coolidge several months ago, we are informed but as yet nothing substantial has come of it. The President is said to have discussed the subject with the Commissioner of the Federal Farm Loan Board, R A Cooper a former governor of South Carolina who objected to the appointment of a colored man in the Farm Bureau at Washington to look after the interests of the nearly one million Negro farmers of the country. It seems to those interested in this matter that the President would be justified in overrealing the objections of this South Carolina Democrat whose racial prejudices or personal friendships with South Carolina bankers who are exploiting Negro farmers should not be permitted to retard the progress of a group who are contributing to the agricultural wealth of the nation. Unfortunately, the Negro farmers as a rule are not organized and have no one in authority to represent them. In addition to being ruthlessly exploited by local money sharks, they often are compelled to sell their products for less than the cost of production. Humanity in the newspaper editors fail to realize the imminent danger of the impairment of the great racial asset comprised in the value of farm owned by the race estimated to be very limited and fifty million dollars. Hence they are undifferentiated to the public in farmers. Our political leaders are the fact that Negro farmers owners are not sufficiently numerous to feed the Negro population and give no head to the need for the largest group of our products. Neither the churches nor the fraternities recognize the imminent danger as the base of our It is important that the establishment of a peer petal marketing system will remedy one of the evils that threaten our force. How the question again arises will the agricultural farmers be able to join these cooperative association which will be under local control and in many sections subject to local prejudices. There is need for a concert action to obtain for our farmers all the benefits possible in the form of Federal loans and cooperative marketing. As beginning, grow, and sell crops would get together with all the others where they name them, own, and represent so their needs, growing needs and need a way of combining forces to supply them. The needs of the farmers amoidebe the concern of the whole people as national prosperity is dependent upon the results of their labor. To reduce the number of farmers is to lesson the assets of industry. What is termed "the most significant thing that this come out of Mississippi in recent years" by R. B. Kleasar, educational director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, is a pamphlet entitled "Mississippi and the Mob." This significance is accentuated by the statement that out of thirteen lynchings reported in 1925, five were in Mississippi. It is probably for this reason that the better thinking white people of that state, including State officials, and members of the state Bar Association, have united to condemn mob violence and call on offi- cers of the law to do their sworn duty. This pamphlet of eighty pages has an introductory statement by J. N. Flowers, president of the Mississippi Bar Association, in which its purpose is defined as "to awaken the public mind to take aggressive notice of an evil which has come to be accepted as a thing incurable." The just and logical way to stop lynching is declared to place the responsibility where it belongs, upon the chief law enforcing officer of the county, the sheriff. He should prevent it in his county or forfeit his office, and be made ineligible to hold the office again. This is the recommendation of the head of the Mississippi Bar Association. He insists that federal interference will come sooner or later, unless the state themselves handle the problem of lynching and urges that the state adopt measures to change the conditions that allow citizens "to administer punishment without the aid of the courts." Among the subjects listed in the table of contents are: How Lynch Law Got Its Name, Lynching Our Blackest Blot (statistics), Officers Repel Mobs, Rape not "the Usual Cause" of Mob Violence, Jim Ivy Burning at the Stake, Suggestions as to How a Mississippi Sheriff May Help Wipe Out Lynching, Statutory Duties of Sheriff Listed and Discussed, How Circuit Judges, Lawyers and Courts Can Help, How the Citizens Can Help. A list of state officials, leaders of the bar and prominent citizens who unreservedly condemn mob murders includes Gov. Whitfield, ex-Senator John Sharp Williams, Chief Justice Sydney Smith, Congressman Lowrey, the late L. Q. C. Lamar, Bishop Galloway and others. The Mississippi Women's State Committee on Race Relations is quoted as deploring mob violence for any crime and a desire to register a protest against lynching or any other form of mob violence. It is to be hoped that this booklet marks the inception of an educational campaign against lynching and lawlessness, which will achieve creditable results in Mississippi, as well as other parts of the South. FOLLOWING PRECEDENT In accordance with a long line of presidential precedents, the message sent by President Coolidge to the opening session of the Congress contained a special reference to the needs of the Negro race. After dealing with the weighty problems of economy, tax reduction, the coal industry, the Locarno treaties the world court, foreign debts, immigration, the aviation board, prohibition, railroads and other topics the abnormal conditions surrounding one-tenth of the population were referred to as follows. In accordance with a long line of presidential precedents, the message sent by President Coolidge to the opening session of the Congress contained a special reference to the needs of the Negro race. After dealing with the weighty problems of economy, tax reduction, the coal industry, the Locarno treaties the world court, foreign debts, immigration, the aviation board, prohibition, railroads and other topics the abnormal conditions surrounding one-tenth of the population were referred to as follows Nearly one tenth of our population consists of the Negro race. The progress which they have made in all the arts of civilization in the last sixty years is almost beyond belief. Our country has no more loyal citizens. But they do still need sympathy, kindness and helpfulness. They need reassurance that the requirements of the Government and society to deal out to them even-handed justice will be met. They should be protected from all violence and supported in the peaceable enjoyment of the fruits of their labor. Those who do violence to them should be punished for their crimes. No other course of action is worthy of the American people. "Our country has many elements in its population, many different modes of thinking and living all of which are striving in their own way to be loyal to the high ideals worthy of the American citizenship. It is fundamental to our institutions that they seek to protect all of our inhabitants the right to live their own lives under the protection of the public law. This does not include any license to injure others materially, physically, morally, to incite revolution or to violate the established customs which have long had the sanction of enlightened society. But it does mean the full right to liberty and equality before the law without distinction of race or creed. This condition cannot be granted to others, or enjoyed by ourselves except by the application of the principle of broadest tolerance. Bigness is only another name for slavery. It reduces to serfdom not only those against whom it is directed but also those who seek to apply it. An enlarged freedom can only be secured by the application of the golden rule. No other utterance ever presented such a practical rule of life. This is all very well so far as it goes, these admonitory appeals to the conscience and the reason of the American people by the head of the Government, in addressing himself to their representatives in a great paper reviewing the affairs of the na- This is all very well so far as it goes. These admonitory appeals to the conscience and the reason of the American people by the head of the Government, in addressing himself to their representatives in a great state paper reviewing the affairs of the nation are timely and convincing. The state a persistent and disgrant violator of the spirit of the President's appeal for liberty and equality before the law without distinction of race or creed. The segregation and discrimination now practised in several of the departments at Washington, which was recently set forth in detail in a memorial to the President, adopted by the National Equal Rights League, should be corrected by an executive order. The force of such example added to precept would lend the persuasive paragraphs of the message the vitality and truth of logical enforcement. It is well that the American people should be reminded at appropriate intervals of the course of action in these matters worthy of their traditions, but the stimulus of courageous action by their chief executive would carry them much further in the application of the principle involved. Let President Coolidge take his courage in both hands and apply the golden rule so aptly advocated. The American people admire and support the man who has the courage of his convictions. The President who can free them from the belittling bonds of color prejudice will live in history. CRIMINAL PROVOCATION two sensational articles appeared in Journal last week, intended to impression that Harlem is infested by flat flats," which are the scene of Italian orgies," and that "policy per colored belt." All this is stated of the utility of Former Alderman, George Davis. Neither "buffet flats" nor the "game" are new things in Harlem is no reason why the activities of these evils should be made the same sensational exploitation, to boost the odds. Harlem is neither better nor worse responding parts of the city, except beside a dumping ground for the exorcism tendencies on the part of victims, who are anxious to find new victims for their unrestrained acts.

While the woman may not moral character, it is so rarely that it is practiced on the streets of Harlem the police have to put up the notice the commission of such an offence appears to be a studied attempt.

All this is stated on the authority of Former Alderman George W. Harris. Neither "buffet flats" nor the "numbers game" are new things in Harlem, but there is no reason why the activities of either of these evils should be made the subject of sensational exploitation, to boost police records. Harlem is neither better nor worse than corresponding parts of the city, except as it is made a dumping ground for the exercise of vicious tendencies on the part of visiting whites, who are anxious to find new scenes and new victims for their unrestrained excesses. White exploiters of vice chose Harlem as their stamping ground some time ago and seem to have been given the widest sort of license in opening pleasure resorts to attract boisterous night visitors from other sections of the city. This has worked to the detriment of the lawabiding residents, whose peace and quiet have been disturbed by this invasion Another bad feature of the situation is the use of the police as agents to provoke the commission of crime. This is the system known abroad as the agent provocateur, who aids in the infraction of the law, in order to arrest a criminal. Here the practice is to use the money of the taxpayer to induce some poor woman to entice a man to her room and then arrest her on the charge of "soliciting." While the woman may not be of moral character, it is so rarely that soliciting is practiced on the streets of Harlem, that the police have to put up the money to induce the commission of such an offence. There appears to be a studied attempt to depict Harlem as rotten and its colored population as either immoral or unmoral. This is decidedly not so. Most of the social evil is imported into Harlem by immoral whites and exploited in the joints that thrive upon their patronage. As for the "numbers" or police gambling. The Age long sought the cooperation of the police and the courts to put an end to this rank robbery of the poor and credulous. It was advised that the law is inadequate to deal with the system now in vogue. New teeth must be put in the gambling laws to deal with the "numbers" game. There is plenty of legitimate work for the police in stemming the influx of vice into Harlem, without using the taxpayers' money to abet the commission of new offences. KU KLUX AT HAMPTON effort sponsored by the AngloS of Virginia, to prove the supern white race, by attacking the wont Institute, recently took on a us phase. A flaming cross was bui right opposite the resulence of the Dr Gregg, and a demand was the name of the Ku Klux Klan. Allan Washington commandant docrates and development The effort sponsored by the Anglo-Saxon clubs of Virginia, to prove the superiority of the white race, by attacking the work of Hampton Institute, recently took on a more ominous phase. A flaming cross was burned one night opposite the residence of the principal, Dr Gregg, and a demand was made in the name of the Ku Klux Klan, that Major Allan Washington commandant of the cadet corps and disciplinarian leave Hampton within ten days. The institute grounds have been strictly guarded since these threats have been made and proper measures taken to ensure protection of life and property. This attack on Hampton took public expression last April in an editorial published in the Newport News Daily Press, in which the editor essayed the ungrateful task of erasing the Anglo-Saxon area from itself. The Age Readers' Forum Hampdon was recalled as a far-right institution, which teaches creeds equally. The mixing of whites and Negroes in the auditorium of the school was cited as evidence of this policy, which the Newport News editor claimed was bound to result in the smallagination of the races. The editor of the Truss evidently had no confidence in the desire and ability of the whites to maintain their racial integrity through natural selection, hence the crucade of vloence, which he has inaugurated. This exhibition of sophistry and intolerance would suggest that there exists a class of white Southerners who do not realize that the War of the Rebellion Arguing that Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania should appoint a Negro as Magistrate to fill the vacancy created by death in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Tribune said editorially: Amos Scott's death deprived our group of representation on the Minor Judiciary of this city. The position of Magistrate was obtained for a colored work. The appointee of the Governor work. The appointee of the Governor should be a colored person according to all the rules of the game of polls. We are of the opinion that the Governor will appoint a colored person. But we cannot afford to take any chances. The colored citizens should not divide their forces. We should present the very best man possible and stand united behind him. The political situation is too acute for us to jeopardize our future a division in our ranks. is human for a division in our ranks. The people who were the large population of those who want the job are unified for it. Then too, the Governor will in all probability appoint an independent and not an organization man. In another column the claims, of Edward Henry as a candidate, were presented by a committee of his friends, as "a trained lawyer, an astute politician, a recognized leader in politics, secret fraternities, church and civic activities." The Governor appointed Mr. Henry. Bearing out the assertion in an editorial headline of "Indians Getting Together," the Providence Advance said: If the colored citizens hereabout are are satisfied over their political slavery conditions, the Indians are not, as was verified by the outcome of the pow-wow in this city of Algonquin Council of the twenty-four tribes, that is if the statements of Chief Sachem Leroy C Perry express the sentiments and desires of the council. If the colored people of this city do not want representation within the various departments of the state, the Indians do, and if the present plans materialize, a well qualified Indian young lady is on the way to be appointed as the police teacher of the city. If therefore the Negroes of this city had a clean, honest and fearless leader as their mouthpiece, nonrepresentation would be a thing of the past, and colored clerks teachers and office holders would now be a realistic fact and not a theory This aboriginal uprising in Rhode Island has evidently proved an eyepierce Justice vs. Jim Crow By WILLIAM PICKENS We acknowledge the good intentions of the few white people who expect, sometime somehow, to do justice to black people under a jim crow system, and we sympathize (though we ought not to) with the simple-minded section of black people who hope, somewhere somehow, to receive justice and a square deal. We deserve a system that primarily disreges the JUDGMENT of both of them. The union of fire and water is as possible as the union of Justice and Jim Crow. The one will destroy or quench the other. In the first place it contradicts experience there is not a single jpm crow system on earth that does justice to the outcast minority. In the second place it contradicts reason, for the same accurate sentiment that for a group will agree that group equality after it is segregated. For example the sentiment that will outstist colored children from the principal school system, on the ground that they are unworthy to be in that same sentiment will deny them an equal separate school system on the equally logical conclusion that they are unworthy to be in that same greater part unknown to experience, unthinkable to reason and impossible to human psychology. All the late part in the same direction in America there is no equal school for colored children except where they attend school with all other children. There are no separate traveling accommodations for colored Americans that are in all regions of the country. There are no other travelers. There is no minor crow section in any theatre that offers equal comfort and convenience with all other sections of that theatre. The only places where black Americans enjoy equal accommodations are where they have the same privilege of accommodations with all others. Segregation always has robbed always roba, and it seems always must rob the segregated minority—against whom it is really directed. All the technical phraseology and solemn mandates of the jury crowning laws and regulations, implying equality coded with the utterance of General Lee at Appomattox to every year ago. They will go on fighting the union of the States and endeavor to be united in the memory of Lincoln by describing false motives for this invasion to the Emancipation Proclamation. I. We trust that Dr. Gregg will continue his work at Hampton to help the Negro and to serve the whole nation, despite this effort to intimidate him and his teachers. The spirit of intolerance and bigotry invoked by the Newport News editor should be suppressed by the better thinking citizens of Virginia. Any attempt at violence should be guarded against by the lawful authorities. Discussing the petition of the Lincoln University alumni for representation on the faculty and trustee board, the Baltimore Afro-American said: With its million dollar plant Lincoln has an enrollment of only 225 students. This enrollment has not increased 35 per cent in ten years. In 1915 it had 216 in the same time (ten years) Morgan College with nowhere near the endowment and plant Lincoln has, has increased the student body 300 per cent (Morgan had 128 enrolled ten years ago. Present enrollment is 337.) During the past ten years Howard dropped its preparatory department and still added 700 students while Lincoln was practically standing still. (Howard 1915:1400 students, 1925 enrollment, 2100.) From one angle, the petition of Lincoln Alumni may be regarded as an effort to inject youth and progress into an otherwise satisfactory school. As to the qualification of Lincoln alumni as trustees and teachers, we have only this to say. If Lincoln University in 68 years has not turned out open capable of administration and instruction, it never will. The denial of the alumni petition would be another error on the part of the fundamentalists in dealing with the demands of modernism. While not disposed to applaud athletic prowess above academic attainments of the students the Norfolk Journal and Guide celebrated the record of the Booker T. Washington high school football team as remarkable. It said: The team made a clean sweep of its association games and in doing so produced individual players that would be a credit to any high school eleven. Norfolk has every reason to be proud of the players and their fellow-students can afford to applaud them with a deep sense of admiration. Both the city and school got some real good advertising out of the feats of Booker T. Washington football squad on the gridiron this year. Coach Owen Wilson has to a remarkable degree overcome the heavy odds of an agile public school team and mame and mame fatties developed a football machine which redounds greatly his credit, especially as this true when it is remembered that the local school has no appropriation with which to pay a coach for his services. Most of the colored high schools of the State labor under a similar handicap, however, this does not detract from the brilliant rec- comfort or convenience, are more words without meaning. Any phase of jim crowism will illustrate the same truth, but let us look at this sample of a school business. Talladega College in Alabama, is supposed to be one of the most cultured places in all the south, even has one of the largest and Best Negro colleges of the whole country. Well, the report of the county board education for the year just closed on contentmentally discloses these terrible facts for one must dig them out from among the masses of figures. There was spent on white high schools $174,800 on colored high schools NOTHING. Mind you, the white enrollment was 4108 and the colored enrollment 3933—just 165 less than the white—and the colored schools were—and the more in need than the white, because the unfair treatment of former years square deal would have necessitated the spending of most of the money on colored schools in this particular school. On the white elementary schools there was spent $66,099 50. That makes the total of $83,480 43 spent on the white schools of this county, while the sum spent on colored schools was $91,282. Wait a minute! All those sums were the expenditures for TEACH-ERS salaries but the whites got all the money spent on administration and general management of the school. An in spite of the poor condition of the Negro schools, over $18,000 was spent for new white schools and less for $6,000 for new colored schools. While the county employs 121 white teachers, it employs only 59 colored less than half as many colored teachers for practically the same number of pupils as the whites must teach. Maybe you think that the enrolled colored children don't attend school anyway. Well the average attendance for the white children was 2774 while that for colored children was 2607—a remarkable thing. this colored attendance when you re-attend how much less attractive, much less comfortable, and perhaps much more statantly and inconvenientially located the Negro schools. This story illustrates the truth in every jim crow system in the United States—through the degree of difference make your 19. 1925 Commencing on the development of the body and movement in Chicago Chicago (W) laid; Mr. Samuel Jaffall, business general, philanthropist and minister to humanity has along with his friends made a valuable for the black boys of Chicago be given a small chance. The new Southside Boy's Club located at the Illinois Fortune Michigan Blvd. the result of Mr. family's interest. The significant structure for the Boy's Club represents alone with its appurtenance and investment in fifty thousand dollars will be the purpose of the Club to surround the youth of the black area with influences calculated to protect the club from most of the purpose of the club not mind, building in the presence of our boys to teach in the value of group control and self determination. We will be the purpose of the Club to improve and enhance the boys to fill them with the responsibility that they own to themselves. It is the purpose of the club to develop a fuller and a firmer manhood. Realizing that the boy is the father of the man the influence of this movement should be far-reaching and effective. This institution with adequate support and proper direction, should give the youth of the past the desired chance to make men of themselves. In an editorial headed "Streets, Mayor Bright, Please your Honor," the St. Lukes Herald of Richmond called attention to the neglected pavements in certain portions of the former Confederate Capital. It concluded: We have trumped the city over, from one end to the other. Every where we go in the Negro sections we find the bricks kicked up and gone half-way the length of the streets. Many corners are streets of bricks as hems are of teeth. This street is in which the colored people live. This street is the unkempt of these streets. Is it fair to make these people pay taxes for a civil service which they do not receive? Let us all engage in some streets, Mayor Bright, please Your Honor. The neglect of public improvements and sanitation, one of the crowning injustices practiced upon Negro tax payers and residents in Southern cities It raises with the inadequate provision for public schools as a cause of complaint. In noting the formal opening of the first social settlement house for colored people in Indianapolis by the Rev. Frank Delaney, superintendent and pastor of the Trinity M. E. Church, the Indianapolis Freehan said: This is a three story structure which will later be used entirely for the social work in the community but for the present the second floor will be used as a church until the new church building can be erected. The first floor has five store-rooms and the superintendent's matron's offices. On the third floor will be the dormitories for working girls, including 14 rooms, baths and a large reception room. The Stewart House, the first unit to be completed, is quite a large brick structure of Gothic design and is a credit to the organization but to the race as well, and to the colored architect who designed it. This is a practical phase of church work which should be emphasized in every community. worse. Even the state schools for the separate "higher" education of the Negro show the same unfair treatment. A southern state has been known to appropriate more money for the maintenance of its white colleges for the education of the entire Negro population of the State (college, elementary and all). The border states of the South like West Virginia and Kentucky are a bit less unfair. But we see that Kentucky now appropriates on $10,000 for the entire maintenance of the college state school, while teachers salaries in that school call for $2,000 more than in ($42,000). And in spite of the fact that the state gives this school its money than the school must pay its present teaching staff, the state Kentucky nevertheless sends out punishments inspectors FINY OUT OF THE MONEY the unsponsors usually acts as if he exceeds that a pile of state money has been stolen or misapplied. When the teachers' salaries alone cost the school $42,000, a state that gives the school only $40,000 ought to send out an investigating committee to find out the principal manager get the rest of the money to pay the teachers and to run the other school costs. Yes, yes—"segregated equality" is a plain contradiction in terms of those who hope for justice in crowism, we wish to say that it hope is a harlot.

Ephesians 5:8. "We are all the children of light, and the children of the day; we are not, of the night nor of the darkness." Translations: 5:5. Theme: "A significant and true declaration." Father Bolden said: "The great Apostle to the Gentiles, Paul, in his letters to these two groups of thoughtful believers in our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel makes a declaration in the language of the text that is both significant and true. We who know the history of the growth and development of this wonderful Apostle, and note his education, culture and standing with the Roman and Jewish powers which he had conferred upon him during his early life, are forced to recognize the trustworthiness of all of his sayings. He who was one of the most realacious Financiers who made an opponent whose belief in Jesus the Messiah, resurrected from the dead, the Savior of the world and the Author and Giver of Eternal Life; now since his regeneration and revelation, gladly esteve and a sufferer of cruel and brutal indignities for the cause of Jesus Christ our Lord the Emmanuel. The attitude of his mind is seen in these declarations: "Yea, doubtless and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." "But, brethren, I count not myself to have apreferred; but this thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, that I am not unto them but before me. I preach before the mark for the praise for the calling of God in Jesus Christ," and "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of Christ my Lord." This man, the Apostle Paul's life and spirit supported by the words spoken by him has, I believe, been the greatest single inspiring influence for centuries in the civilized world. This power was made possible in and through this great Apostle, because according to promise and the fulfilment of the same our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel had had praised the Father and after his ascension they sent the Comforter, the Leather the Holy Ghost who came into the mind and heart of the Apostles and Paul specifically and illuminated their wisdom and conscience. The Holy Spirit's residence in Paul gave him a new and unique better understanding of the meaning and purpose of life. He called him to see humanity from a different perspective he enabled him to discover new and greater values as regards the spirit and activity among the eternal world and conceived the eternal world and capped him to know the state of mind and the kind of people who dwell there. He declares that before the Holy Spirit illuminates the consciousness the people were in darkness but after the Holy Spirit has entered their minds and heart they become light in the Lord. And he commands them to walk as children of the light. I am grieved that many learned and outstanding individuals of our day, proclaim themselves as leaders of schools on agnostics and skeptics. These leaders and the schools they represent enjoy their freedom and liberty because of the presence and power of the love of God revealed by Jesus our Lord the Emmanuel. They live in a state of liberation because the Holy Spirit dwelling in the mind of humanity charges and releases creative energy in the human family. The fruits of the energy is seen in inventions, industries, various organizations and agencies in the good of the world as well as in the expression in sciences art and religion. May not the symbol of the three wise monkeys illustrate an agnostic. Has this agnostic or monkey sense ever made a contribution to civilization. I thank God that we are children of light and not the children of monkey darkness. You are children of light and not the children of monkey darkness. You are spoken of by Paul obey our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel's command who seek, Ask and it shall be given, seek and we shall find knock and the door shall be open unto you. knock at your consciousness that the door of your will may be opened and a light is turned on not from the point of reason for that may be darkening. Join the room where the Holy Spirit abides, and He will reveal all things new to you. Attach your intellect to the Holy Ghost simply station. The stock we own on the Trinity. Company has eternal life in nothing but to receive it appropriate and the rest testament Lord the Emmanuel is the Company's Eternal King and light Representative in the world of humanity. And he that believes in Him hath the light of life. Before His death and resurrection He said to His disciples. We are the light of the world, and let your light so shine that men may see your good work and glorify your Father which is in Heaven." He transfers His radiant light to His followers to carry out and keep burning. You who do not know Him let the light of Jesus come into your lives so that he may continue changing and glorifying the light.

Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church Today, the modern church has gone down, under a religious backdrop, that has sustained a spiritual decline, a moral fall. So said pastor Stephen last Saturday night at the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church 106—108, West 127th street. The pastor took his test from the book of Revelation, which said he contained several outlines of the history of the universal evangelical church, from the day of its inception to the close of human probation. The pastor began his discourse by saying, "I hold no brief against some particular protestant sect or denomination; my arrows are directed at no particular pastor or congregation, but to address myself to the entire religious community of the universal church. "Because of coldness and insecurity because of its fierce pride and colossal vanity; because of corruption error and inhumanity; because of its floued worldiness, the church has fallen, has fallen, has fallen! She has now become the habitation of devil, the camp of every soul spirit the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. "This is a gloomy proclamation, to be sure; but, there is not a person under the sound of my voice that will dispute what I say. The moral sense of the church has been made blunt. Its conscience has been deadened; its crimes have grown horrifying, its apostacy astonishingly bold. The church is not wedded to Christ, but to the wicked world, and the union has finally completely changed her nature, character and attitude. She has revised her conditions and conditions her pliates. The church makes a splendid outside appearance. She has kept up with the Dives and crowd and not the friends of Lazarus. As never before, she is today engaged upon a vast scale of Christian education, but where are her Christians? There is little or no difference between her graduates and the output of secular institutions. She spends millions religion, and yet, in all her history there is more wide spread indifference and unrestrained teachings and principles of religion. Because the church is torn by strife, society about her refuses to be restrained by her influence. "Concerning her faith—there is an increasing side of decimation. Where she is the spiritual animation and illumination of her men. That one institution above all others, to which our fore-fathers looked for vision and inspiration, in these modern days has been transformed into a mere social service agent. The modern pulp, with its philosophical expations is little more than a tautagua, providing intellectual entertainment and giving social and political information to the pew. Gone are those gospel herdsmen who one time made sure tremble and saints cry out for God. Churchmen today have no more a disenclosure of sin than no longer entertain the thought of future retribution. The church on earth today needs a new conversion, a new consolation, a new baptism of power. She has long since lost her conversion. Her sense creation and her power. She has gained the self-deal the soul spirit and the clean heart. These have crowded her altar and brought one a moral slump. The Scripture predicted it now we have it. St. Mark's M. E. Church On Sunday, December 13, the morning and evening services of St Mark's A.M. church were attended by unusual and large congregations. Rev R A Rider a stant pastor, delivered a master session at the morning service. Text Joshoth both chapter and 50th verse theme.

Scott and Whales are being starred in a big revue. Sisale and Blake's mailing address is care of American Express Company, London, England. London, England—When 'Big Big Trans-Atlantic White Star' liner "Olympic" arrived at Southampton, England, one day last September, there walked down the gang-stack two distinguished American artists, barreled on England as "American Ambassadors of Symcapation" but none other than our good old friends, Noble Shale and Eable Blake, famous in America as writers and stars of "Shuffle Along" and "The Chocolate Dandies," and seriously more important to the English public as the creators of that great international song hit, "I'm just wild about Harry." Noble Sisle and Eubie Blake, accompanied by their wives, arrived in London for a stay of eight weeks. They are still in England and likely to be for some time, unless they accept the pair offered to appear in France and Germany, with the winter season on the Riviera, taking in Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo. Ther long stay in England is somewhat explained by two quotations—one from the London Daily Telegraph, which states "Sisle and Blake have the kind of quality that grows upon rust, and makes their work appear a second visit to be even better than son remembered it." Another quotation from "Stage," England's leading theatrical weekly: "The new noble Ambassadors of Sympacable Noble Sisle and Eubie Blake, have established themselves very quickly as stamach favourites. The songs of these coloured performers have a flavour of their own, and the pianist of the pair is one of the best we have heard for some time." .. A Howling Bedlam The initial engagement in England of the two artists was at London's exclusive and very smart Kit Kat Club and the Piccadilly, both places the rendezvous of aristocracy and the halls, or vaudeville theaters, as Americans would call them, were bidding for Sissle and Blake's appearance, cli-maxed in their opening at the Al-hambra. Will the boys ever forget it? The fond memories of the cheers and wild applause demonstrations of the American theaters were revived by an experience Sissle and Blake must add as a treated chapter to their already extensive library of careers. The supposedly conservative English audience became a howling bedlam in a vocal bombardment 'that clinched all arguments as to, Sissle and Blake's success. Siasle and Blake's auspicious debut at the Albumbra caused the management hold them over at this theatre and contract for three weeks at the Coliseum, rated London's leading variety theatre. Two of these weeks include the Christmas and New Year holidays. The Victoria Palace, Chuswick Empire, Holborn Empire and Stephard's Bush were all added to the last and so the boys merrily go on. At present Nobe and Fubie are the featured attraction at Murray's and the Carnival Club, in addition to headlining in the music halls at the same time. New Compositions Win Pavor Aside from the stage trumpets of Stissle and Blake in England, new laurels are being won with the musical compositions of this悲惨 pair. All London is singing and whistling their new fox trot hailad, "Why" this number, bought by Keith Prowse, a large British music publishing house, has been recorded on the phonograph and is being sung and played the day the student delight of British radio fans. London's biggest and most lavish revue Still Dancing, the Ziegfeld folklore of England, is featuring with scenic splendor "Lady of the Moon" a Stissle and Blake composition. The emergent South Prowse Company also purchased "Lady of the Moon" Stissle and Blake have been commissioned to write the score for a new musical play by Draystock Dell, the English author scheduled for next fall production. The spring in London of "Flase," a white musical comedy in which Stissle and Blake wrote half of the music, eight numbers. Their wives, Harriet Sislea and Avis Blake are having the time of their life. England is a great place for combining business with pleasure, and when Sislea and Blake return to America, it is going to be hard some afternoon when four o'clock rolls around and a place to have tea isn't handy. "There's One Lane That Has No Turning" is the title of a song by Sislea and Blake being used by Scott and Whaley, a celebrated colored team who have been demi-journed in England for sixteen years. Scott and Whales are being starred in a big revue. Sisale and Blake's mailing address is care of American Express Company, London, England.

He began his career as a boxer in 1913 when the Senegalese was 16 years of age. However it was not until 1922 that the Senegalese was heard of in this country.

"Battling Siki" Victim Of Unknown Assassin (Continued From First Page) lenged Georges Carpenter, then the idol of France, for the world's light heaviest weight title. In 1922 Skii defended Gorges Georges Carpenter and became the title holder. He cut Carpenter to ribbons in doing so, and immediately charged Georges with having made an agreement with him. He then agreed to help him to carpenter, and then decided to double cross the champion. He was disgusted and his title taken from him. Beaten by Mike McTigue He was reminiscent in time to meet Mike M. Quine in Dublin, Ireland on St Patrick's Day 1923 and Mike beat him in twenty rounds on points, winning the championship. Siki then came to this country and engaged in several houts with indifferent success. He was knocked out by a number of fighters, including the present light heavensight champ Paul Berlenbach. Siki has kept in the public prints ever since he defeated the Orchid Man. He has wrestled in public dining rooms with houts has engaged in brail after brail and has had his matrilonial troubles. He married a woman here when it was generally accepted as a fact that he had already had a wife and son of Holland. He was considered a victim of prosperity. Gifted with a marvelous body, indomitable courage and a childlike mind, Siki was a prey for sharper graffers and lechages of all kinds. He was playing and cleaning even in the hardest of fights and the police are about ready to embrace the theory that perhaps one of his capers led to his end.

There was a bit too much similarity in the atmosphere of the different groups, and this tended to monotony. And the artist isolated himself from the audience by singing with closed eyes, this taking away the advantage of an infiltrate which usually serves to preserve cordiality and friendliness between singer and bearers. The accompaniments were played by Edmund D. Coleman Jr., a young pianist who needs a good bit of development for satisfactory work as an accompanist.

HARRIS Orange Contralto Wins Chicago Recital Favor As the musician to work with the press made by Burberry Madison son contralto of Orange, N. I. in his recent recital in Klimbah Hall, Chicago. Miss Mason is a pupil of Milton Lumb of Orange, and had al- ready made a successful debut at Aeolian Hall, New York City, R. E. A., writing in *The Music* in *The Windy Guy* pays the lapping splended tribute to the singing of Miss Mason. "Mrs. Burnerdine Mason drew a large audience who showed in every possible manner their thorough enjoyment of her voice and artistry. Mrs. Burnerdine is truly a phenomenal voice. Billed as a poet, her first song, 'Joy of Spring', llyane Wilson was a bit of she loveliest, most flexible soprano singing imaginable. There was a limp烦 that any coloratura would envy. There was absolute ease and pure beauty of tone. Perhaps Mrs. Mason used this number first to startle her husband and to sing, Lalo's "The Captive", had the gloriously deep, resonant tones of a luscious contralto voice. "Her sense of interpretation is highly developed and her notes were unhurried moments of esthetic pleasure. The great "Samson and Delilah" aria was as perfectly rendered as I have ever heard it, striking one with the beauty and granditude of its strength. Just a bit of trouble in "Stride ta wane" from Trovatore. "Accompaniment" from singer were not together. But this was corrected in the next Debusy number, and the "Amour viensa aider" aria from "Samson and Delilah" was splendidly done. "Two songs of Heniot Levy were programmed and a glance found Mr. Levy at the concert, looking very pleased indeed. Mrs Mason has a voice that is unusual, liquid and reverent, but also, wonderful destrified feeling of anger which enables her to sing the tune of soprano songs with the same ease with which her contralto repertoire is given. "Mrs Mason was born in Cambridge, Md., and though she has always sang, her natural voice was never cultivated until in 1910 when she knew Negro baritone and teacher, who thrice appeared at Aeoliah Hall He presented Mrs. Mason in concert last April at Aeolian Hall.

Again we emphasize that the night's work lasted exactly ninety minutes. There were members of the quartet, as is well known, who have experienced sublim- big, big gay and even the bright lights. They knew the honor of success, the courtesy of gentlemen and the price of big money when, how, and where it should be accorded. Here is where the glory of the occa- sion marrowed into the littleness of men. There was no ardour task per- formed, no tiring hours. Nevertheless, one man wanted twenty-five dollars for his service. This desire bespeaks the difference in the calibre of men more than anything else. It is the little man who usually wants the big man's price, as well as his glory-AMEN! The Exchange has accepted as its creed and its practice to "Grow as we serve." This kind of service is not conducive to growth.

No one but a Sergey would and fail with that unmannedness which is so much a part of the holiday season, but unless the impaired back of it are directed into the right channel contributions to charity will not accomplish what the gives intend. Unfortunately people of the professional beggar type take this chance to cash in on the holiday spirit by exploiting the good will of the public. One enterprising woman, for instance, wrote to five different people asking for Christmas breaka Whether she plaited to live off the last of the land for several weeks or to make a fat profit by selling some of the food, no one knows. But while people of this sort are loudly proclaiming their wants, other more self-respecting families are passed by. So the first thing for the intelligent giver to do is make sure he is not carrying coals to Newcastle by giving to families already provided for, but that his presents go to those who really need them most. Next, he should give something that is appropriate for the person who is going to get it. Clothes made by the wholesale do not fit everyone and gifts distributed wholesale cannot suit everyone either. Too often we just thing of the "poor" whose outlines are no vague in our minds that they are nothing more than types, so there is no way of knowing whether we are giving them something they really want or not. But if we can think of Johnny, whose ambition in life is learning to skate, or Mary, who would rather have a doll than anything else in the world, then the presents will really mean something to the recipient. A third suggestion is, give something permanent. Some gifts flicker out as quickly as the Christmas card itself. But if you give, say, a new suit of clothes to the boy who feels too sloppy to go out with the other fellows, it will be a tonic for EL FA FACE POWDER The most marvelous scientific discovery of the age.

Her hair had fallen out in handside and it was a short she could not fix it up in any style. She tried everything she could think of, but got no results whatever. Finally she gave up the thoughts of ever being able to get anything to give results, when she discovered that her hair had stopped falling, and was gradually getting longer. She continued to use the last preparation (which she made herself), and after a few months her hair was long enough to fix up in any style. Mrs. Burton says that the ingredients can be bought at any drug store, and that she is willing to give the secret to anyone who will write her and send a stamped self-addressed envelope. Note.—Mrs. Burton has nothing at all to sell. Out of pure gratitude she is passing the secret that gave her long beautiful hair. It's free!
