But through the efforts of Casper Middleton, sales were booped and the mortgages transferred to his name. Mr. Holstein, who is head of the Virgin Island Island of New York, composed of former residents of those islands, declared to a representative of The Age that he had no ulterior motive in purchasing the property. His only idea was, to keep it under control of the colored race, he said, and that if the 'U. N. I. A.' wanted to purchase it back, they could do so. Saupignol, of Holstein. He also said that he had been interested in the Garvey organization which contributed and fud at various times to the contribution money towards its improvement. Frederick A.

JUDGE HENRY DENIES REPORT HE IS AGAINST ELKS' CONV. IN N. Y. The charge that certain officials living out of town and without authorization signed the charge of prominent Elks to a communication designed to create an unfriendly sentiment against holding the next annual convention in New York as voted Cleveland last August, has created a sensation in Elkdom. One of the then who asserts his signature was used without his permission is Magistrate Edward W. Henry of Philadelphia. So aoused was he upon mentioning that his name had been used without his consent that Monday he came to New York to assure local members of the order he was not a party to any anti-New York propaganda. The communication to which Henry and others take exception calls for a midwinter meeting in Pittsburgh, January 10, 11 and 12, to discuss whether it is best to change the August session to honour place other than New York. It is charged that politics is being played to ignore the wishes of the majority as expressed in Cleveland. Magistrate Henry informed members of the New York lodges that Philadelphia was in favor of coming to New York. "Any, sports to the contrary are false and deliberately sent out with intent to deserve," declared the Magistrate Selma, Ma.-Dr. H S Sultivan, dentist, one of the wealthiest colored men in this state was mysteriously shot to death early last week.

Mr. Holstein is donor of the Opportunity Literary Prizes, given annually by Opportunity Magazine, and is a large contributor to deserving charities in Harlem. One of his hobbies is to help young men secure an education, and it is reported that he is paying the tuition of half a dozen or more boys at Hampton Institute and other schools in the South. Unless the Garvey organization arranges to take, over, Liberty Hall again, Mr. Holstein plans half of the plot for the expansion of new apartments and the other for a club house for one of the fraternal organizations with which he is connected.

Lynchings Show Big Increase For 1926 Compared With 1925 The annual summary of lynchings, submitted December 31 by Dr. R. J. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., shows an increase for 1926 of thirteen more than occurred in 1925. The four record is 29 for the past year against sixteen for the year previous. The summary issued by the N. A. A. C. P. shows thirty-three for 1926 as against 18 for 1925, the difference probably being accounted for through a later closing of the record by the N. A. A. C. P. Two colored women were among the victims, one being killed in Alken, S. C., and another near Houston, Tex. Six whites and one Indian were among the victims. Florida had 8 victims, Texas, 7, and Mississippi 4. Other states furnishing mob victims were Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Mexico, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. In thirty-three instances officers of the law stopped lynchings, using armed force in six cases. Of thirty-four lynchings tried in the courts, one was sent to penitentiary for life, and eight were given terms of from four to twenty years.

THREE WELL KNOWN PROHIBITION AGENTS HELD IN $7,500, EACH; CONSPIRACY TO BRIBE CHARGE Hymie Kassell, Former Bootlegger and "Numbers" King, and Arthur Briggs Are Also Held, Charged With Having Been Collectors From Bootleggers For Prohibition Agents Three men attached to the staff of Major Chester P. Mills, Prohibition Administrator, as prohibition agents for several years past have been arrested on warrants issued by Commissioner Garrett W. Cotter, based on complaint of Assistant United States Attorney J. Edward Lumbard jr. of the Federal Attorney's staff, charging them with conspiring to accept bribes from proprietors of bootlegging establishments in Harlem. The men arrested are: RICHARD E. WARNER, 145 West 142nd street; JOSHUA DICKSON, 49 West 135th street; and JESSE HARVEY, 64 Horton avenue, New Rochelle. Patrohman Williams Released In $2,000 During the holiday clamor of New Year's eve, the neighborhood of 133rd street and Fifth avenue was aroused by the sound of pistol shots. Two members of the Police Department, Patrolman Charles Williams (colored) of the 16th Precinct Station, and Patrolman Robert Troy (white) of the 16th Precinct station, were fighting a pistol duel in the street. Both were wounded but neither seriously. Troy was shot three times—once in the left wrist, another in his left thigh and the third one gashed his hip. Williams was shot, in the left leg. He was released from Harlem Hospital Wednesday and a charge of felonious assault was preferred against him before Magistrate McQuade, who admitted Williams to $2,000 ball after the preliminary hearing Wednesday, afternoon. Troy is still in the hospital, but will he out in a few days. He will also face a felonious assault charge. Each man insists that the other started the quarrel and fired the first shot. Both were in plain clothes and say they did not know the other was a policeman. Patrolman Williams says he was in front of 16 West 133rd street with two women when Troy passed and made sevegal insulting remarks about the women. The colored policeman remonstrated against the uncalled for attack. Then he claims Troy drew his pistol and fired a shot. Not until then, Williams insists, did he, fire. Both men were suspended by Commissioner McLaughlin pending the outcome of the trials for felonious assault. SUPREME COURT, T OF WHITE PLAINS INELANDER MARRIAGE tiff, said he would advise Rhinelander to take an immediate appeal. "I trusamuch as the occasion was by a divided court," Mr. Koe said, "my client has an absolute right of appeal to the Court of Appeals." The majority opinion of the Appellate Division, concurred in by Justices Kelly, Mauning, Jaycox and Young, dealt entirely with the propriety of Justice Morschauer's charge to the jury in the original trial. Justice Lazansky Dissents Justice Lazansky in a dissenting opinion directly disagreed with the majority of the court on that point and held that a new trial should have been granted. Mr. Mills said that he did not believe anti-racial could be harmed in this. Last other arrests were made, most recently with being accessorized through acting as collectors for the three agents from speakasy proprietors. These men are Arthur Briggs of 49 West: 133th street, the same address as is Dickson's, and Hyman Kassell, of 2749 University avenue, who has been notorious in Harlem for several years, first as a hooch seller, later as a "numbers banker" Kassell is the only white man in the group. The three agents, Warner Dickson and Harvey, were arraigned before Commissioner Cotter and held for $750 bail, each, for a hearing on January 13, and Kassell and Briggs were held in $6,000 bail for a hearing on the same day. The charges against these three agents come after a long and painstaking investigation made by direction of Maidie Mills. Camouflaged Hooch Jointa Several years ago, following the gong into effect of the Vostead law, and the closing of legitimate saisons, there sprung up in Harlem an unusual number of alleged delicatessen and clear stores, which proved on investigation, to be canonified hooch joffs. That is, the front of the store would contain show cases in which were displayed in small quantities, either foodstuffs of the sort usually seen in delicatessen, or cigars, cigarettes and other tobacco products, giving the appearance of a legitimate tobacco store. But there would be a parish place about half-way of the store, with a door admitting to the fear, and a small window or rephole through which a watcher could see the faces of those entering. And back to this partition would be a bar counter from behind which thirsty persons served with socialized gin, corn, rice scotch or wines, all of which had one common base, and possessing the similar quality of having a quick knockout punch. The hooch sellers also invaded stores which were doing a real legitimate business—men's furnishings being apparently the favorite. In these prices the illiterate were able to buy bread "while" alleged liquor through the simple process of asking for various articles of wearing apparel. Usually a customer asked for a "white collar" would get a pint of "gin", while the patron who called for a shirt, would get "rye" in the same quantity. The New York Age started an intensive campaign against these outfagged hooch joints, employing a special investigator to locate them, and list the various addresses where they were to be found. As they were listed, they were published in the columns of this paper; the latter being amended every week until late June. plete. This roll of honour places the still being published and is being used by enforcement officers as a guide. Stories were published from tion to time of experiences had by wouldbe legitimate delicatessen and cigar store customers in some of these cautious lagged joints. A woman, hurrying home for a belated supper, would step into what had the appearance of being a well supplied, delicatessen, store to but some cold mastes or salads, or perhaps hamburgers, hubby and the kids. But her request ham sandwiches would be construed to mean a drink of gin, with other liquid supplies being served if she asked for other commodities. These happenings naturally caused talk, and notwithstanding what seemed to be an impenetrable immunity enjoyed by these vendors, there were occasions when enforcement officers raided these places and corrupted large quantities of illicit liquors of various sorts. The raids, of course, did not put an end to operations, even temporarily, in these places. As the most, the sale of hooch was failed only until the raiding officers had departed with whatever goods they had been able to find. Quick Reopening. For as soon as the raiders had left, the booch disarmers would quickly renew their supply, often from a reserve stock kept in another room of the same building, and the sale of booch would be resumed with the full force of its original activity. Sometimes, fact, most of the time, the raiders sold smaller, smaller, smaller, and it was not an intriguing happening that they came away as empty handed as when theywent in. And this recalls an occasion, sometime ago, when a raid was planted to cover a number of the Lenox amulet, tinguaged booch joints. Inspector McDonald was in charge of this Inspection District and he had picked a select aqid of men to be led by Lenttenant McDonald, the booch, to the Friday morning. The editor of The Age was expecting vital results from this activity. On Thursday evening, preceding the projected raid, the special investigator employed by The Age was drifting around in Harlem and ran across Prohibition Agents Wurter and Dickson, who seemed to be follower of the schedule which provided for very brief stays at their various stopping places. A little gun-shooting soon disclosed a method in their activities, and information of this discovery was quickly relayed to The Age editor. Gave Warning of Raid. So at 10 o'clock on Friday morning, when the officers, under Lieuten: McDonald, named to take part in the projected raid, assembled at the West 135th street station house, they were joined by Agents Warner and Dickson, who were to accompany them, and the editor of The Age was also present. And. Editor Moore immediately questioned the agents, asking them if it was their intention to take the officers on a "joy ride" as that was all the raid would amount to following their activities of the hight before, tipped off all of the camouflaged speakeasies as to the proposed raid, advising them to get rid of their stock and the day low until, the raid was over. This alleged activity of the revenue agents was verified from various sources and has been various columns of this paper. It is alleged that the evidence unearthed by Major Mills' investigations has confirmed in every particular the charges made by The Age that these men were accepting graft from the bootleggers in Harlem. In this connection, it is reported that a number of the operators of camouflaged delicatessen and cigar store hooch joints made frequent and bitter protests against Warner's methods in compelling them to pay tribute. One or two are said to have characterized the agent as a "money dog" in that after an suburban housewife in that of his victim he would come back again and again and repeat the "shaking down" process until the operator was bled well ugl "white," so far as money was concerned.

AWAY TO THE ISLAND 'NUMBERS' MEN GO AS THE COURTS GRIND ON Special Sessions Judges In Most Cases Give Defendants Workhouse Terms Steadily grinds the wheels of justice and as a result there is a constant procession of convicted "numbers" or policy runners and players from the Court of Special Sessions to the puruilee of the Welfare Island Workhouse. Police officers under command of Inspector Thomas F. Ryan, have been particularly active, and arraigned by the Inspector Co-ordinator almost invariably been followed by a remanding to the downtown judiciary. And workhouse sentences of varying terms follow in due process. Patrolman Joseph Haeser arrested Brant David of 136 West 138th street on November 3, at 52 West 139th street, and found fifty-seven policy slips on his person, indicating that David was collecting for a "numbers" banker. Arraigned the same day before Magistrate Simpson in the 12th District Court David was held in $1,000-ball for further hearing on the 10th, when Magistrate McQuade held him in $500 for Special Sessions. And on December 16, Justices Salm, on Herbert and Desert Court David to the workhouse by Patrolman Haeser was that of Arphur Shields of 217 West 144th street, who was picked up on September 1, with 106 policy slips in his possession. Magistrate Well, in the 14th District Court held Shields in $10,000 for trial in Special Sessions, and when he was tried on December 17, Judge Healy gave him three long months in the Welfare Island retreat Ryan Arrests Nine On July 26, last, Patrolman Ryan got busy and picked up nine suspects, six men and three women. They were Ben Scott Wm. Fernandes, Ed. Watkins, Paul Lee, John Curry and Thomas Moore and Mabe Lorance, A. William Willis and John Gomery. The arrests were made at 60 West 142nd street. The first four December 17 and received a pre-Christmas present of three months each on the island out in the middle of the East River, with their partner, Curry, getting two months. The three women and Moore were convicted. The three men and 35 of their sentences were held up pending an investigation by probation officers: Patrolman Wm. Schmitzer of the 6th Division happened along by 14 West 134th street about 9:30 o'clock on the morning of September 22, last, and so was in position to pick up Willie Henderson, who lives at the same address, which is a 5-story brick apartment house. Henderson was the hallway of the house and he had a police officer. So Juice Healy, in Special Sessions on December 20, told him he might cogitate over his folly within the confines of the workhouse for the next sixty days. A Christmas Gift Patrolman Michael J. Kennedy (3984) of the 6th Division, was not idle while this was going on, on for the 2nd of December, at 9:50 a.m. he caught sight of Gustavus Varlark on the ground floor, a grocery store, of 125 West 118th street, with policy slips in his hand. Arranged after arrest he was taken to the 12th District Court, Varlark was held in $500 for Special Sessions. He was convicted on December 24, but Judge Healy made him a Christmas present of a suspended sentence. But Robert Ford, arrested by Patrolman Kennedy at 9 a.m., on December 15 at 588 Lenox avenue, charged with having both policy slips and money in his hand, was not so convicted. He was taken to the 12th District Court held Ford in $300 ball for Special, Sessions, and on December 24 Judge Healy sent him on to Welfare Island for thirty days. Judge Healy, on December 30, split the difference with two defendants. Saladato Martinez Escovale of 2153 Fifth avenue was arrested at home for violation of Section 973, Penal Law, charged with keeping and maintaining a room for taking policy slips. Emma Frogs of 61 West 133rd street, was arrested at the same time for violation of Section 974, Penal Law, relating to the possession of policy slips. Both were convicted and Escovale drew a three month's stay on Welfare Island, but Emma Frogs, evidently an employee, was given a thirty days' suspended sentence.

Louis Marshall, foremost constitutional lawyer of the country, called attention to the 100th anniversary of the passage of a law which made all people, born within the borders of New York State, citizens. Said he, "On July 4, 1827, a law was enacted in this state which gave every person born here the right of citizenship. This law freed the slaves of the State, and made New York a refuge for the slaves from other sections of the country. I think the colored people of New York would do well to mark this occasion with some kind of celebration."

Walter White told the story of the Alken lynching and of his investigation of the murder of the terror McLeod had refuted to act on the evidence put before him because it was feared, that one of the Governor's cousins would be implicated.

The Cleveland Gazette. 1) In perennial life, the pages of my scrap book, we as a milieu of recreation, and as an retreat, my memory, concern, interesting and important topics, which I was not to preserve, when I was born, so young as I am now, I ran across the ancient sketches, parted herd about thirty (30 years ago) (1877). 2) Although the facts "which this biographical sketch carries," are somewhat brief, they are noavireless, refreshing, significant and timely, in view of the fact that the state of Georgia in these latter days treats, so very uniquely, my race, group to, which our hero belonged. 3) There are doubtless apores of other ages - black heposs as Agatha Dabney whose deeds of valor and selflessness have in the past illuminated the pages of the history of Georgia. But of what consignence be they, as long as the attitude of the minds of the whites in Georgia is what it is, regarding the Golden Rule. The following sketch was peaned by a member of the Nordic race. CHAS. H. MOORE. Greensboro, N. C. A BLACK HERO. Massachusetts found a black hero in Cripus Attucks, and perpetuated his memory in marble; and Georgia should in some appropriate fashion take care of the name and fame of Austin Dabphey who was a faithful slave, a brave soldier and a gentleman, in servitude and in freedom. At the beginning of the revolutionary war, Dabney was a young mulatto slave in the family of a Mr. Hatris, in Wilkes County, Georgia. He was remarkably intelligent, and fearless, and sympathized so strongly with the cause of the colonists that he was permitted to join a company of volunteers and continue in the service during the struggle. There were many torris in Georgia throughout the revolution, and their methods of warfare caused the patriots to hate them even more bitterly than they did the British. The mulatto soldier was loyal to his white neighbors. He made their grievances his own, and his daring exploits caused him to be deceived by the red-coated invaders, and their local allies. Whether engaged in hunting down the torries at home or in fighting the British at the front, Dabney was always to be found in the thick of the fray, where his strong arm was most needed. He was severely wounded during the latter part of the war, and his life was saved by the careful nursing of the Harris family. When the ex-slave was restored to health and hospitalities had ceased he found that his benefactor had lost his property and was reduced to poverty. Then this black hero and gentleman showed himself at his best. He went to work for the unfortunate family and wave Mr. Harris so greater part of his earnings and his pension money. In the course of a few years Dabney, in common, with other vaxemers, drew a lot of land in Walton County. He removed to his new home, carrying the Harrises with him. At first anime of the whites protested against the action of the place in thus, rewarding a Negro who had been a slave, and Dabney and anti-Dabney parties were formed. But a better feeling soon prevailed, and the brave fellow was allowed to his property undisturbed. Dabney builts a nice home on his place for Mr. Harris and a modest cabin for himself. He worked early and late for his white friends and denied himself many comforts in order to help them. One of the boys in the family was very bright and people predicted a successful future for him if he could only get an education. When the matter was explained to Dabney he was delighted. "Young marster shall go to college and be a 'lawyer', he said. "It only means a little more work for me, and a little less extravagance. I fix it all 'right.'" And he did fix it. For several years he worked harder than over. His shabby clothes, showed more patches but his face showed more smiles. The young man went through the state university and the old Negro fooled the hill. The graduate then studied law and Dabney provided the money to pay his expenses. It was a proud day for this faithful friend when he saw his young master admitted to the bar. Dabney stood in the courtroom just outside of the inclusion reserved for the lawyers, add when the youthful applicant was formally declared an attorney and counsellor at law, the his-hearted friend who had sacrificed so much for him went silent tears of joy. Autumn Dohney was known all over the state, and as a rule he was treated with respect and kindness by all classes. Once a year he rode on horseback to Savannah to draw his pension. Unout of these trips he chanced to overtake a Colonel Pone who was on a trivial mission. The two journeyed along together, talking about old times, and each found the other's connexionism very pleasant. As last they came in sight of the City of Savannah, and Colonel Pone well will to speak a word of congratulation. Dohney had not known they would like to ride with you through the city. Things were different with him, and if he would ride with them the streets would be crowded.

C.-School opened this year with much enthusiasm, and with various departments have met with much success. This term the English Department has enlarged its force, and much work is being done in dramatics, public speaking and debating. Debating is one of the pearls which is found to be so much more important than having realized this, the department has held successive try-outs for the Varsity Team. The professors in charge are: G. W. Brown and Cecil Blue. The students find their work with these men pleasant and very interesting. The Junior Class has been the source for the Varsity Team debaters; and the students as debaters have found abilities as debaters, have found themselves to be convincing speakers. At the beginning: of the try-bus the class was handicapped for the fundamental knowledge of argumentation and debate; this theory was quickly grasped by eager minds, digested and carefully stroked into practice. To listen to a lad now who has had the privilege of being the principal witness, the judge could be quite a pleasure for those who like the art of effective speaking. The fifth and sixth elimination debates determined the Varsity Team. The participants for the affirmative were: Messrs Thos. J. E. Jenkins, Capt. Leroy Young, J. E. Evans with K.J. Johnston as alternate. The negative represented by W. W. Jones, Capt. R. P. McKenzie, L. H. Mitchell with D. H. Woodbury as alternate. The debate was a battle where facts flew thick and fast, final victory almost by a unanimous decision of the judges. The sixth elimination underwent the same condition. The affirmative speakers were: Thos. E. Gliffard, Capt. W. E. Bellot, A. R. Dawson with L. Ramsuer as alternate. The negative speakers were: A. T. Steele, Capt. W. D. Scales, Theo. L. Plair with Geo. R. Dockery as alternate. The question, for debate was Resolved: "That the United States should withdraw entirely the Monroe debate becommended for the logical presentation of their arguments." The negative was successful in making the Judes understand and won the debate. Debaters selected for the Varsity Team were judged by decorum, delivery, arguments and rebuttal. The successors are: Thos. E, Gillard, W, D, Scales, A. R. Dawson, T. A. Steele, W. W. Jones and L. H. Mitchell. The debaters who prepare to meet these teams in the spring must expect to fight a hard battle From Rev. GEORGE F. BRAGG, Jr. I cannot permit the present year to pass out of existence, withouz, extending to you my heartiest and sincere congratulations in connection with THE 'AGE', and all of the many good efforts you have so helpfully supported during past years. My mind goes back to the Western Bank, your responsible work therewith, your association with "Dan Manning." Secretary of the Treasury, during Cleveland's administration, as well as your splendid work, in support of the Rev. Mr. Tunnell, when St. Augustine's, Brooklyn, incorporated and starred upon its career as a self-sustaining congregation. It is pleasant to think of my friend "Freel Moore," during all this long period, unwearied in laborers for others. What a change the years have wrought. I fancy I see you, at 15 Douglas St. calling the floor, with babe in arms, asking the dear wife, after the babies, of the year. You have lived to see those dear little lives grown and leading useful lives. Sweet is friendship, and it is intensified in the presence of so much good and abiding fruit. Yes, I have followed The Globe. The Freeman and The Age, almost from the very beginning, and I rejoice over the good work wrought through the men of that continuing journalistic venture for the race. From THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER Organist of the A. M. E. Church "In looking over my exchanges this week! I notice the THE NEW YORK AGE, is celebrating its 40th anniversary "I wish to extend my heart's congratulations to the AGE for rounding out 40 years of such splendid service to its race and nation, and for having at its head for 20 of these years so splendid and useful a man as yourself. May God bless you and give you many more recess of service to your paper and your race. Sincerely yours, R. R. WRIGHT Jr. Editor. Tuskegee Institute, Ald. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, now on a tour of the world was the principal speaker at a recent meeting in Mission Hall, Honolulu, Hawaii Islands, according to word received here this week. Dr. Moton spoke upon the life of General Samuel C. Armatron, founder of Jopahumol Church Institute, who was born in Hawaii, telling himself the educational policy has affected education in the United States through Humpton and Tuskegee. In an interview in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Dr. Molon is quoted as having said that race, relations between Negroes and whites, and self-improving. "This is due on the one hand to the progress along all lines of social development which is taking place in the Negro race, and on the other hand to the growing conglomeration among white, people, and whites, the white people, and whites, being fall and just to the Negro," the interview states. Dr. Moton is accompanied by Mrs. Moton, their daughter, Miss Catherine, and Dr. and Mrs. Eugene H. Dibble Jr. Letters from the party report, that all age, enjoying the best of their trip, was undertaken in the hope of restoring Dr. Moton to his best health. From the New York Nation The University of the State of New York honored itself two weeks ago, in bestowing upon Miss Eileen Howland the degree of Doctor of Letters. On the 20th of November Miss Howland celebrated her one-hundredth birthday, "A central New York school teacher," a dispatch declared her to be. She has been and is far more than that: Born a Quaker and true to that noble faith all her life, Miss Howland was one of the pioneers in teaching the Negro at a time when to do so one courted mob violence, and in Southern States, long terms of punishment. During the Civil War she took charge of one of the great camps for freed slaves and from that day to this has supported Negro education everywhere by her precept, her example, her large and generous financial gifts. Side by side with this great service she fought for woman suffrage and temperance; her one great cause today is that of peace. At her great age she still manages two farms and a school and is director in a bank. Best of all, her soul is as young and forward looking as ever. When the degree was conferred upon her on October 28, a similar honor was bestowed upon Dr. Frank Sheldon Fosdick, for fifty years a teacher in Buffalo schools and the father of Raymond and the Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick: By a happy choice the latter was asked to make the address upon this rare occasion. Among other things he said that: The end of all true education is to produce genuinely independent individuals capable of taking intelligent charge of their own lives. There can have been in history few times when an independent minority was more deeply needed than now—men and women who dare to think their own thoughts, stand on their own feet, take charge of their own lives. We need men and women who know that the economic order cannot remain as it is, that we must look forward to a more decent day when the profit motive sinks and the service motive rises into the ascendancy; men and women who see that a narrow nationalism will pot do, that patriotism is not enough. Dr. Fosdick must have had Emily Howland in mind as well as in sight. Detroit. Mich.—The cornerstone for a new $20,000 parish house for St. Matthew's P. E. Church, the Rev. Everard W. Daniel, rector, was laid Sunday by Bishop Herman Page of Michigan Diocee, the building where the church with entrance on Antoine street. Lancelot Sukert is the architect. St. Matthew's is one of the few independent Negro parishes in the United States, with 800 communicants and 300 children to be cared for educationally, socially and recreationally. The top floor will comprise a gym-auditorium, with stage; three large classrooms, shower baths, kindergarten' and offices. Rooms for classrooms are to be in the balcony, with other classrooms in the basement. There is to be a kitchen and dining room accommodating 200 in the basement, also. The first floor will have an assembly room, with two large classrooms in rear, and an apartment for use of the rector. A number of features new to church school buildings such as private and semi-private classrooms, divisible through collapsible partitions, are special features, and will be used in other new buildings in the diocese.

A valued correspondent of The Age, who has proved his accuracy in the observation of cause and effect in the industrial field, writes that the great Northwest territory now offers to colored farmers the chance of their lifetime. This opening is due to the growth of the sugar beet industry in South Dakota and adjoining States. The latest project in connection with this industry is the construction of a sugar beet refinery at Belle Fourche, to cost one and a half million dollars, by the Utah-Idaho sugar Company of Salt Lake City. This is said to be but small part of the millions that the Sugar Trust and the Mormon landes are putting into the sugar industry. The beet harvesting in the Belle Fourche portion was about finished by Christmas with an increased total yield over last year, although the average to the acre of tweel and one half tons was slightly less. Despite this, the season was pronounced to best since 1916, when the industry was established. The price paid the farmers the year for sugar beets was nineteen dollars a ton, and the farmer was assured in advance of a market for his crop and a profitable return for his labor. Inducements are held by land agencies, and by some of the States like Minnesota, for those injured in farming to buy land on time payments and pay for it by the cultivation of sugar beet. Other crops could be raised to provide for the immediate needs of the farmer and his family. Herein is seen the chance of a lifetime which our correspondent points out for those farmers of the race who have left the plantations of the South. Instead of running cotton and sugar cane, they can grow sugar beets, corn and all the other vegetables that thrive in a temperate zone. Experience has shown that the black man is transplanted from the sunny South can withstand the rigors of a Northern winter as well as his paler brother. There is ever opportunity for the practical farmers of the race who seek new locations under favorable conditions, to enter upon this rapidly growing industry in the Northwest. Increased acreage will be devoted to beet growing during the coming year in South Dakota, which will mean an increase in the number of cultivators of the soil. The opportunities for achieving material success as tillers and owners of the soil are meeting with the natural increase of the population. Now is the time for those farmers with the experience and knowledge of the soil acquired in the South, to invest that capital in the new fields of the Northwest, where the returns will be surer and the environment more favorable for themselves and their families. It may be the chance of a lifetime, as our correspondent suggests.

A.RELIGIOUS HOUSE CLEANING Signs of a revolt against the modern money changers and the grafters who have defiled the sanctity of the church today, are revealed in a recent editorial published in the Star of Zion, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, one of the oldest religious denominations among the race in this country. The article insists that the action of Ira T. Bryant, a prominent officer of a sister denomination, in slaying graft among the bishops, was had its reactions, and that the Negro church of today is demanding a stricter accounting of its leaders than ever before. As a proof of this reaction was cited the pronouncement made by Bishop B G Shaw before a church conference at Ensay, Alabama, in which State rumors of corruption have been rife among many denominations. Bishop Shaw was reported as follows: Signs of a revolt agalist the modern money changers and the grafters who have defiled the sanctity of the church today, are revealed in a recent editorial published in the Star of Zion, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, one of the oldest religious denominations among the race in this country.

As a proof of this reaction was cited the pronouncement made by Bishop B G Shaw before a church conference at Ensley, Alabama, in which State rumore of corruption have been rife among many denominations. Bishop Shaw was reported as follows: I have about made up my mind with respect to the appointments and I tell you frankly that I appreciate your respect, your tokens of good will in material substances, but I want you to understand that you may give me automobiles, money, suits of clothes and others tokens so generally done in these meetings, but they will not change my attitude. I am going to make your appointment in keeping with what you have done at the place where you were sent and not for what you may do for me in this three or four days meetings. No man need come to me craving, bowing and serratching his head. Cer- --- finally I am blessed and you must be able to recognize that, but somehow I believe I am more than that, I am my big brother, and not a slave driver. I sympathies with the struggles you must make and I suffer with you. Keep your gold, keep your money and other tokens if you expect them to bring me down from the lofty heights to which I have ascended by your suffrage and through the Providence of God. I am opposed to graft in the church and everywhere else. God's church must keep clean, brethren, before it can criticize the world or interest the world which it is to save. The editor of the Star of Zion affirms that the bishops of that church have struck high note in their fall and winter conferences and "sounded the death knoll of craft, incompetency and dishonesty." It is known to them that thousands of dollars have been wasted or diverted into other other channels than for the purposes for which it was raised. The protests of the people against these practices have been heard and the editor is assured that they will be heeded. This is as it should be. The only effective reform of such vicious practices can come from within the church and it should be headed by the bishops. As an antidote or preventive of the indious form of bribery involved in the presentation of gold watches, automobiles and other costly gifts, the editor suggests that the church pay its bishops a larger salary and lessen the temptations to win their favor by corrupt means. Not all of them may have the outspoken courage of bishop Shaw to accept the gifts and at the same time repudiate any obligation to favor the givers. Let the churches put the bishops above the necessity of accepting donations for their expenses and make the living or receiving of presents an unpopular practice. The church itself must drive the money changers and grafters from within the teme, as its Founder did in the early days of Christianity.

Various phases of the attempt to enforce the prohibition amendment during the past year show that the problem is not much easier solution than it was a year ago. Therowing tide of indignation against the wholesale poisoning of those credulousinkers who believe what is hoesthoughts Various phases of the attempt to enforce the prohibition amendment during the past year show that the problem is not much nearer solution than it was a year ago. The growing tide of indignation against the wholesale poisoning of those credulous drinkers who believe what a bootlegger says as to the purity of his wares, finally brought an announcement from Secretary Mellon that the government plans to remove all poison from industrial alcohol at an early date. This announcement brought forth a protest from Wayne Wheeier, representing the anti-saloon fanatic dry faction, who desire to maintain the death penalty for all those who dare to take a drink. Then there was the parting shot of an assistant United States attorney who resigned from the prohibition department declaring that "the prohibition law in its present form cannot be enforced in New York or in any other large city." One reason for the inability of the prosecutors to enforce the law in New York was the apathetic indifference displayed in following up complaints as to violations. This same assistant secured through The Age the names and addresses of a number of places where the law had been violated and padlocks were in order. Seven of them were not padlocked and the padlock was attached to the other place after the removal of the proprietor who committed the violation. Despite the grand stand play of the present United States attorney in seeking the limelight for his padlocking of a few cabarets and night clubs in the Broadway White Light district, there has been a perceptible letting down in energy and efficiency from the previous regime. Instead of working in cooperation with the police in putting the booze joints out of business and destroying their outfits, the police have been instructed to keep their hands off. Instead of one violation being held to be sufficient proof to proceed upon, the informant is required to secure proof of a repeated violation, all of which works in the favor of the offenders. If the law had been consistently enforced with the cooperation of the local authorities, as under Colonial Hayward, better results might have been reported. The stoppage of the use of poisons in denatured alcohol by the government is a step forward, because it is through the laxity of the government agencies in releasing this poisoned product, that the bootleggers are enabled to use it in their business. The drinking of bootleg liquor, though not to be commended, is hardly deserving of the death penalty. Chemical research should be made to make alcohol unfit to drink without the use of deadly poisons. The United States attorney should act more promptly in applying his padlocks if the padlock system is to be of any service in reducing the number of booze joints. The prohibitign administrator should be supported in his effort to get rid of grafting agents and be urged to replace them by honest and efficient men. Above all, the honest enforcement officers should be encouraged in their efforts to prosecute offenders and close notorious booze joints. Political pull should not be used to embarrass the active and efficient officer when he makes a case. USING A HAITIAN CATSPAW. According to a Washington letter published in The Age last week, there is indirect but authoritative information at the Capitol that the Republic of Haiti does not want an American Negro at its capital as Minister Plenipotentiary. "And forasmuch as it would be gratuitous violation of long established diplomatic usages to name a person as minister to a country which does not want one of that person's race, what is there for the administration to do? Nothing, most assuredly." As the French, and probably the Haitians educated in France, would say, "C'est pour rire." Everybody knows that the present Haitian government represented by the Borno administration is of American origin, put in power and held there by the grace of the American High Commissioner, General Russell, and the force of United States marines, machine guns and bombers. The announcement that the republic does not want an American Negro as minister merely means that General Russell and the horde of prejudiced Southern officeholders under him feel that way about it. They want no colored functionary on the island to whom they must accord the slightest official courtesy or who might set an example of savoir faire in dealing with the Haitians. They must preserve the traditions handed down to them by Simon Legree and his kind. This alleged objection of the Haitian government to the appointment of an American Negro as minister will doubtless be used by the present Republican administration as an excuse for doing the obvious thing, that is allowing the present autocratic and prejudiced regime set up by President Wilson to continue its sway. The motives that underlie this weakness of the administration in dealing with Latin-American countries, are probably due to the policy of imperialism imposed by the capitalists who have a financial stake in the results. As for the real sentiments of the Haitian people on the personality of the American diplomatic representative, we consider M. Belgrade, a former minister to France who represented Haiti in the assembly of the League of Nations, as better authority than the Borno government. In a letter written to Mrs. Addie C. Hunton who visited Haiti within the past year, on a tour of investigation, M. Belgrade denied absolutely the report that there existed any objection to an American minister based on color. The fact that such former ministers as Frederick Douglass and E. D. Bassett, after their terms of office had expired, were selecteted to represent the Haitian government officially in this country would negative such a proposition. This ostensible objection of the present Haitian government is a stuffed scarecrow, set by the Southern American oligarchy running Haitian affairs, to avert the appointment of any diplomatic representative unless he is to their liking. Haiti is the victim of American exploitation, as was the case with San Domingo, and as threats to be the case with Nicaragua. The weak Latin-American countries are regarded as fair game for American capital and American prejudice to exploit SQUELCHING A TROUBLE BREEDER Not content with enforcing Jim crow laws and color proscription in the South many white Southerners who come to New York and other Northern cities, seek to impose their prejudices upon the rest of the community. An example of this was furnished last week in the West Side Court, where a white Georgian named Robert Glover was arraigned on the complaint of Harold Washington, for having ordered him out of a restaurant on Sixth avenue, and followed up the order with threats and an assault Washington immediately sought a policeman and caused the arrest of the arrogant Southerner When the case came up for hearing Glover was rebuked by Magistrate Glatzenmeyer for his exhibition of prejudice and a counter charge that he had filed against Washington was dismissed. The court instructed the former Georgian that discrimination was not permitted in restaurants in New York on grounds of race or creed. The prisoner was then held in five hundred dollars bail for further hearing This was a salutary and needed lesson for those Southerners who come North and seek to carry on a propaganda of race prejudice, in imposing the discriminations that prevail in the section they have left. This arrogance of conduct is peculiar to the South and is too often allowed to go unrebuked by white Northerners who do not approve of it, but lack the courage to discountenance it. It is in sad contrast with the meekness with which most white Northerners who go South accept and follow the prejudiced lines of racial proscrip- THE AGE READERS' FORUM According to the St. Paul Echo, it is believed that for the first time in Minnesota a criminal prosecution for color discrimination was successfully carried on before a jury in the case of a theatre door-keeper, who was fined three hundred dollars in the Ramsey county district court. The Echo commented editorially as follows: The decision in the Lyceum theatre case represents a notable victory for the Negroes of the community, for the community itself, and for the fairness of the legal system of the county and state. It is natural to regard it first from the racial angle. The open discrimination which was being practiced at the theatre was the boldest aspect of similar treatment which Negro patrons had been given in other theatres and eating places the city over. In the case of the Lyceum, it had grown so odious that there was no longer any subtlety about it. Negroes simply were not allowed to sit in certain parts of the theatre. The decision overcomes that difficulty, and will serve as a check to similar attempts in other enterprises.

I am not referring now to your forty years of public service with The Age, but I want, to take in just one eventful year. One of the delights of my Harlem experience is the splendid quality of our Negro newspapers. The Age has been particularly aggressive for right conduct of man toward man; a fire brand in the ranks of evildoers: a prophet in arraigning public officials who may seem derelict in their duty; a free paper advocating the rights of a free group, who except for The Age and other papers of like spirit would have no advocate certainly none of independent mould I congratulate you on your able editions, upon your truthful news items upon your high esteem and valiant services to our churches in your column on church activities The Age is an invaluable asset to the higher life of our group in Harlem When my subscription expires, don't stop the paper. Send the bill Many congratulations and a Happy New Year. Yours truly. A.C. GARNER Silver Furniture Company Thanks The New York Age Editor, The New York Age, we beg ad advise that our Christmas haskets were successfully distributed last Friday, December 24th and we feel that it was greatly due to your personal efforts. We therefore beg to thank you for your whole-hearted co-operation given us for that worthy purpose, and we assure you, if the opportunity presents uself we will again take the liberty to call on you. With best wishes for a HAPPY NEW YEAR, we beg to remain very truly yours. SILVER CURNITURE (1) Comfort To Read The Age Editor of The New York Age Enclosed you will find money to cover renewal of my subscription. I will continue to take the papers as long as I can. It is such a contour to me to read the doing of my people. I live on a farm away down South where there is nothing much of Negro enterprise but I keep in touch with the outside world through The Age. Miss LRMA DURHAM Parrott, Ga "The Negro Tribune" Editor of The New York Avi We consider it a very great pleasure to register our congratulations on your twenty years of successful ownership and management of the New York Age. We consider the Age as being "The Negro's Tribune. We wish for your management the continued success which has afforded it in the past.

A rebuke by the courts of those interlopers who attempt to defy the laws of New York, is the manifest cure for such vicious practices. Both the magistrate and the police officer are, to be commended for discharging their duty in a delicate situation. The professional Southerner who comes to New York to "damn the nigger" in public places is a common nuisance, as well as a potential source of trouble. He should be squelched whenever he begins to spout, preferably by the courts or the force of public sentiment. AGE EDITORS SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS it is damental law of the state should be upheld, regardless of the circumstances of color which surrounded the case. The editor concluded from the attitude of the judge, the jury and the county attorney, that a greater measure of the militant spirit was effective in securing justice. Commenting on the fact that only one sermon was preached at a recent session of the General Association of white Baptists of Kentucky, the Louisville American Baptist said In our associational meetings in this and other states there are at least a half dozen sermons preached and in some cases there is rather a contest in these sermons to make a record for future purposes. There is no disposition to discourage preaching, but much of this preaching could be done to better advantage before coming to the associations or conventions. Preaching to preachers is not always beneficial and it could be more effective if the sermons were preached to the people at the homes of the preachers. At any rate it will do harm to think of this matter seriously and see if the time of these meetings could not be served to better advantage ADERS' FORUM Segregated Schools In Philadelphia Editor of the New York Agr After careful study of the schools systems of the city of Philadelphia and the State of Pennsylvania, and as a citizen of the State of Pennsylvania, and a Veteran of World War, I wish to withstand state that segregated schools not only in the State of Pennsylvania but in any section of America is a disgrace, because of the mere fact that instead of promoting harmony, such a system tends to demonstrate a feeling of inferiority from a racial point of view. This should not exist in our institutions of learning, for if education tends to do anything, its object is to promote racial harmony and not racial discord. The question of social equality should not be thought of in our schools for the students do not attend schools for the specific purpose of socializing but for the specific purpose of broadening their intellectual views and preparing themselves for useful intellectual and industrial service. As aforestated it is truly a disregard on our great Commissary of the state which has always stood in the forefront for human equality and industrial political and commercial justice. As a member of the colored race and one who has attended schools in various sections of this country where color played no part, therefore I call upon the good people of both races in the state of Pennsylvania to use their influence to eradicate this horrible condition which now exists. As aforestated this cannot be done by one race alone but the above must be performed by members of both races for after all education does not tend to create clansliness but it unfolds those noble and hidden intellectual qualities upon which love, unity and justice finds their source of predication. William T. D. Hill Hard To Believe (But True) Editor of The New York Age I have seen a picture of a lynching in The New York Graphic. It seems to the hard to believe that such things should happen in a good prosperous country like the United States. I have had more some dealings with co-workers, as I had no other neighbors for the last 18 years and never had a single law or any trouble of any kind with his house and I am still bereaved on day and night. I have sold homes to the day, not people all colored out the day, has not come set that they failed in their pay, moved right up to date, and we have this in my books and in the Fiction and Lean Associate books, when I assess have in my home. I came to this town 26 years ago and remember very well that there were one hundred properties in town. Today the area is 300 who have bought their homes and have put birds are came to them. They are working man and wife from abroad to dress as good as I do better. I am so much. I am unable to have a good time as an unwed mother.

West 22 Street, Avenue. Englewood, N. J. by a more careful consideration of the different phases of institutional work in which the emirches should be more deeply interested. Evidently the religious editor considers treachery to treachery as a non-productive occupation, as carrying coal to Newcastle used to be regarded. --- Taking as its text the endorsement of a dubious real estate speculation by a number of preachers, the Washington Tribune delivered the following rebukes: This "Ebenezer" speculation and gamble is only one of the number of visionary projects to which ministers of the gospel have lent their names. The tendency of Negro preachers to engage in enterprises of this character, and to participate in the details of practical politics, receiving money and making campaign speeches and the like, is becoming all too common and is bringing religion into disrepute and doing the church incalculable harm. Why do not intelligent, serious-minded men go to church? Here we have the answer. Right-thinking men are not going to church to receive the gospel from the mouths of real estate speculators, town lot gamblers, and political stump speakers. This is another variation of the old adage that a man cannot serve God and mammon. The preachers should be especially careful in refraining from leading their flocks to the shearing in such manner. In advocating the reelection of the present Mayor of Tucson, the Arizona Times cited the following improvements made under his administration: Swept into office by the voters in that election, it was not long afterwards that the streets were graded and electric street lamps were installed—an improvement which the colored people in the McKinley park addition had been unable to secure from the city for a period of ever eight years. Mr. White thereby proved himself a man of his word. Unlike most candidates seeking the patronage of the Negro vetor, Mr. White did not forget promises made before his election. Before Mr. White was elected to the school trustee board, the Dumbar school consisted of a dingy, inadequate room building. Mr. White promised if elected to the board that improvements would be made. Upon his election, the present school building became a reality shortly afterwards. When Mr. White was treasurer of the Arizona Eastern railroad, it will be remembered that a well known colored resident of this town, an employee of the railroad at that time, became involved in a tangle with a prejudiced Southerner and was arrested because he asserted his manhood and gave his adversary'a heating he deserved. Out of all the executives of the railroad at that time, Mr. White was the only one of them to offer aid. He actually secured the release of the man from the city jail, and helped him out of difficulty. Tucson is a small town, and such genuine acts of friendship to the colored people who inhabit it should not be forgotten. These and other achievements of the mayor's first term would seem to constitute concrete and practical reasons for keeping him in office. A writer in the Star of Zion, in an article entitled "Sidelights on African History," asserts that John James Audubon, the great naturalist and the author of "The Birds of America," was a Negro. He cited the following authority: Francis Hobart Herrick's work, "Andubon, The Naturalist," gives us the facts in full. Jean Audubon, father of John James met at Lay Cayas in the West Indies a brown skinned Creole by the name of Mele Rabin. To them was born John James, referred to in early documents as "Jean Rabin, Croole de Sante Dominique" Later a daughter was born When their father later left the Indies and returned to his wife at Nantes, France, he took his children with him Mme. Audubon had no children and adopted the illegitimate children of her husband. Later they came to Louisiana. At the death of the father, the property was left to his two children, but his nieces, Mme Vageon, of Nantes and Mmea, Lissabal and Domenecin of Bayonne, tried to have the will set aside on the grounds that the children were illegitimate and of Negro blood. Because of this John James broke with his family and moved north to settle in Pennsylvania. His Negro admixture was assigned as the chief reason why the United States did not hail Audubon as a genius but after he gained recognition in Europe, that was ignored as in similar cases of famous Americans How Denver's colored firemen meated up to the requirements of their calling was told in the news columns of the Colorado Stateman as follows Dashing up the smoke-filled stairway of a burning barn in the rear of 329 Lafayette street. Tuesday afternoon, Captain Glen W. Brooks with Livery Ralph Myers at his side, made a heroic attempt to save the life of William Lonker aged Negro cripple who was trapped by the smoke and flames before he could stagger to safety. The entire upper part of the barn was a blazing flame when Engine Company No. 3 armed Brooks and Myers braed the flames and under protection of a stream of water played over them both other members of the company grouped their waist up the narrow staircase to bring Rake out. He was dead when they touched him. Rokker was 75 years old and had in life nine in the barn for some time. He was a cripple and this no doubt prevented his escape from the burning barn.

Boston, Mass.—Two years ago, at the dedication of St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church, Trenton street, Edgar P. Benjamin, prominent attorney at law, gave to the church a valuable high altar as a memorial to his brother, Lyde. This year, Mr. Benjamin has presented to the congregation, a hand carved pulpit of beautiful design and gothic construction. The dedication of the pulpit and the new pipe organ was attended with ceremony Sunday, January 2nd, with services conducted by Bishop Babcock. This was the culmination of the Christmas celebration which began with a choral at midnight of Christmas Eve. The new pipe organ was made possible by the generous gifts of members and friends during the past two years. It was built by the noted Teller-Kent Company of Erie, Pa. The builder, Mr. Kent, is a member of the Episcopal Church and has taken a special interest in this organ. While six thousand dollars is the estimated cost of the organ and chamber, the good will of Mr. Kent made possible an organ in tone and value of over nine thousand dollars. The great, the swell and pedal organs will contain over 800 pipes and notes. The swell organ will have a wonderful range, including the bourbon, violin diapason, salicinal, vox scelestia, stoppered diapason, flute d'amour, piccolo and oboe. The console is detached and the latest improved electro-pneumatic action has been installed through the entire organ. Elwyn Barrow is organist, Rev O. L. Ferguson is pastor.

Racial Discrimination Causing Negroes To Leave Georgia Town Parrott, Ga.—Numerous complaints are being registered in this town over the treatment of colored children who are only given an average of five months' schooling each year. In an interview, one of the farm owners said: "Our children only have five months' schooling each year. The whites have taken all the rural schools and have put the colored school in a far off town, making it necessary for us to run a truck so that the children can get there. All Negroes owning property are forced to pay an extra fee of $2 or more, in addition to the state and county taxes, to pay for the truck and driver. "The Negroes are selling what property they have and are leaving the town due to the prejudice here. Laws are made by trustees, who say that the Negro does not pay for what he gets. I wish the government would put an end to such discrimination as the citizens of Terrell County are experiencing." White Woman Wants $50,000 For Being Jimcrowded On Trolly Winston, Salem, N. C.-Because C. E. Dockery, a trolley car conductor employed by the Southern Public Utilities Co., had his doubts as to whether a woman, Nettie Wright, who boarded his car here on November 18 last, was white or colored, and demanded that she take off her hat to prove to him that she was not a "negress," the company and Dockery are being sued for $50,000 in the Forsyth Superior Court. When Miss Wright got on the car, she sat in the front reserved for whites. Dockery ordered her to the rear, occupied by Negroes, and when she told Dockery she was where she belonged, he ordered removal of her hat that he might be convinced. She bases' her suit on "humiliation and great mental anguish," claiming damaged character as a result of statements circulated by the defendants that she "if of Negro blood." Rahway, 4. J. Rahway, N.

ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Health means the proper functioning of all parts of the body. It means that we are able to carry on a normal life of work, play and study, and at the same to feel equal to it. It means that we do not have to think all the time about whether or not this "is good for us," or whether or not we have strength for it. However we must see that all parts of the body are in proper condition and are performing their work correctly if we would have good health. Take the teeth, for instance. We must give them the best of care and thus try to keep them in a healthy condition. Everyone should brush his teeth at least two or three times a day after meals. They should certainly be brushed morning and night. A short brush with bristles of uneven length is the best kind of a toothbrush to use. Brush with an upward and downward movement, instead of straight across, to remove the particles of food from between the teeth. It is necessary to have a dental examination at least twice a year, to make certain that the teeth are in good condition. Go to a dentist for this. If you cannot afford to pay a private dentist, go to a dental clinic. If there are cavities which should be filled the dentist will discover and fill them when they are small. At any rate, even if there are no cavities the teeth should be cleaned thoroughly by a dentist or a dental hygienist at least, twice a year. Decayed or diseased teeth frequently cause a great deal of sickness. They may impair one's digestion. The poison from them may go through the entire YOU READ the Other Fellow's Ad You are reading this one.

Yet it is one of the most easily vanquished enemies, because all-of-us can easily avoid it or overcome it. For instance, consider monotonous work. There are many people who work all day long in a factory or in some office where they have to do the same job over and over again. Perhaps they merely direct a machine so that it sews just one seam in a garment. Or they may stamp something over and over again on a certain garment or package. This work tends to become very monotonous and may cause a nervous reaction which will tend to break down one's nervous equilibrium. But everyone can prevent this by doing something totally different during the moon hour. They should make it a point to get outdoors, to exercises or to have some kind of recreation which will be complete change from their regular work, and should indulge in some pleasant form of recreation after working hours and on holidays. The old saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" still holds true. People who do inside work all day long should be careful to get some form of outdoor recreation every day. Those whose work is mostly done out of doors do not need to consider this so much, but they should do something quite different from their daily work for recreation. Give a thought to the way you spend your noon-hour in the future. Do something that gives you a change from your work and rests your nerves if you have a monotonous job. Get some recreation every day.

New York City THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES By JAMES H.

The Company has made place rope employees. be derived from this survey of the Messenger" says it will exist just now. Perhaps it will be have to learn, sooner or large Negro center in America. After reading the survey on "Negro Labor and Public Utilities," which appears in this month's issue of that virile mouthpiece of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, "The Messenger Magazine," there are most likely to be some Negro employees of the Pullman Company who will say, "I told you so." The "I told you so" will imply that those employees do not think that their employer is, by any stretch of the imagination, the Negro's sole industrial juggernaut. In fact, they probably will contend that, so far as positions go, the Pullman Company is more liberal towards its Negro employees than any other utility of public character in this country; governmental utilities excepted, of course. Whether the grounds on which such an opinion is based would be tenable, after a survey of the number of Negroes holding clerical and mechanical positions in the Pullman employment, is another thing. This column has no official statistics on the subject, consequently, it is unable to offer any enlightenment in the matter. It wouldn't be at all surprising, however, to learn that there are more Negroes holding positions in the Pullman Company than in any other corporation of like character; that is, clerical positions. And this means Negro men who are employed in a clerical capacity in the various yards and storerooms of the entire Pullman system. But let us get back to the conditions of "Negro Labor and Public Utilities," as they are exposed in The Messenger. The magazine declares that after survey of the most prominent public utilities in New York City, it finds that practically no Negroes are employed by these utilities in a clerical capacity, despite the fact that almost a quarter million of Negroes are users of the service of these corporations. The lone exception to this situation is the New York Railways Corporation, which employs one controllerman; three machinists; two machinists' helpers; one store tender, and one blacksmith's helper. All the other public utilities in the city have Negroes more or less on their payrolls, but they draw the salaries of waiters, porters, maids, cleaners, messengers, etc. Not one records a Negro clerical employee. Of course, a Negro clerk, here and there, from the writer's point of view, would hardly deserve mention, anyway. But it does seem a sad commentary on the pride, intelligence and progressiveness of nearly two hundred and fifty thousand Negroes—who love so well to ride, if only for three blocks, to have telephone service, to use electric and gas conveniences—not to have any representation in these corporations other than that of the unskilled and unclearly sort. And in giving vent to this feeling, I am not unmindful of the fact that if these same corporations were to open their office doors next month to all Negro boys and girls who were qualified to accept positions as clerks and stenographers in their service, the number of those to enter upon these duties would be relatively small. But despite this unpreparedness, which really exists among us, no matter how much we may rant to the contrary, it seems we should strive to see that the doors of opportunity were ajar to members of our race, whether or not they choose to enter them. There is one fact we might as well learn first as last: We shall have to construct our own door! Nearly three quarters of a century should be a long enough period for a race, even of ignomamuses; to learn its lesson. If we wish our boys and girls to be holders of clerical positions, we shall have to make these positions for them. Ranting on what the other fellow ought to do, is so traditionally aged that it has become tiresome, to say the least. It is a pity that some Nordic of National prominence hasn't the courage to come out and tell us what a Pullman passenger once told a Pullman porter. The porter was a very conscientious worker. He had been a faithful and loyal employee for many years. He knew that there was no chance for promotion in the service for him, but he did think that the company should make places for its Negro employees who were able to fill positions other than those of porters. He expressed this opinion to a passenger whom he knew, quiff well. After listening rather attentively, the passenger said: "Yes, George, that is very true, but the Pullman Company is the brains of white men; and these white men have to look after their own first." The expression was brutal, but it was frank. Since then the Pullman Company has made places for deserving porters and other intelligent Negro employees. Just what value will be derived from this survey of Negro employees and public utilities, which "The Messenger" says it will extend to other large Negro centers, is problematic just now. Perhaps it will have the effect of beginning the lesson that we shall have to learn, sooner or later, not only in New York City, but in every large Negro center in America. Picked Up Here and There It falls to the lot of very few men to reach that stage in life for which they have worked and planned. It happens only here and there. Apparently ex-Porter James C. Canty, who was retired from the Pullman service last summer, is realizing this elusive goal. Mr. Canty-familiarly called "Doc" worked for thirty-eight years in the Pullman service with one object in mind: to be financially independent of relatives, friends and lodges when old age came. Age has arrived with "Doc", and so has independence, but you could never detect the former condition by mere observation. He was seen in the Grand Central Station last week, and from appearances, you would judge him to be a man who had just approached the dangerous age of fifty. Not on strand of gray hair mars the perfect black of his head not the least hesitation marks the buoyancy of his movements. He requires eyeglasses only to read. Yet on his next birthday he will be seventy-one years old. And the remarkable feature of all this is that he has things to keep his mind and body active. These he acquired during the thirty-eight years that he worked as a Pullman porter Although they have lived for a number of years in Harlem, where they are wellknown socially, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Challenger are now residents of Carter's Crossing, a hamlet in New Jersey, on the Lehigh Valley Railroad. In conversation recently with Mr. Challenger, this chronicler inquired the reasons for his forsaking the environs of Negro Paris? Home reasons, he replied. And, continued he, added to these reasons, Mrs. Challenger is satisfied to sacrifice city life in order to acquire a home of our own. To all of which this chronicler said Amen! John A Franklin, who for more than twenty years was a Pullman conductor on the Albany and Troy Pierce, between Grand Central and Troy, N. Y., died at his home in Albany on Wednesday morning. December 29, of pleurisy, from which he had been suffering for a week or more.

WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA By The Age Special Correspondent PALESTINE LOOTED The recent cable advices from England state that Lord Reading has accepted the chairmanship of the Palestine Electric Corporation. The object of the corporation is to provide cheap electric power, and it is proposed to build a big hydro-electric undertaking on the banks of River Jordan, sufficiently powerful to supply the whole country with power for pumping, heating, lighting and industrial work. We need not doubt this statement. Palestine over which Britain has acquired the sole trusteeship offers wide scope for exploitation. According to the correspondent of "Finnancial News," Palentine "is a land which was not economically broken by the war, its potentialities and resources offer much encouragement, and he tried methods of impartial (?) British Administration ('Page') British Rule in India) are reducing the difficulties of real development to practical dimensions." Under the benevolent clutch of British rule; there is unbounded scope for the dumping of British manufactures on the country, and some of the main lines are textile machinery, building and housing materials, railway rolling stock, agricultural implementa, etc. In fact, Jerusalem offers an open door to the British manufacturer to step in under the most favorable auspices on the ground floor and hold the country in fee. It is, indeed, interesting to learn that a good beginning has already been made and the inauguration of the hydro-electric scheme will give it greater stability. After all, the trusteeship has its own blessings, and it only remains to be seen how the Palestinians taken to this trusteeship, whether they welcome it with open arms or like the ungrateful (1) Indians grow restive under the benevolent yoke! The Progress of the Human Race "Remember that your mission consists in dominating other nations with a firm hand. May it all fall to your lot to establish peace everywhere, to be merciful to the humble, to destroy the proud." The above is not an extract from Baldhall to the Britons but from Virgil to the Romans. And, yet some people think the human race has been progressing these two thousand years! At a Lord Mayor's banquet at Guildhall-London, the British Premier, Mr. Baldhain, said that Great Britain was in the midst of revolution and referring to the coal strike in England, he said that it was a monument of human folly, while for India he pictured rosy paints, declaring that "Non-cooperation may at last be recognized as reactionary and sterile." He further declared that Indians should be good boys to expect to get some crumbs from the royal commission India has given a fitting reply to this. The Congress party, who are out Nationalists, have got masterly victory over their opponents in the Counell and Assembly election. The policy on the part of the Congress to START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT BELL seek election was not a change to suggest the boots of the Government, but to fight in the government councils and endeavor for the liberty and uplift of India. Let Baldwin watch and Birkenhead wait till real things come to pass. The British Supremacy and Hyderabad State The Hyderabad State of Nizam is absolutely an independent state and is in no way bound to carry out the orders of the British Government. As explained in one of mv previous notes, the province of Berar adjoining this state once belonged to this state, which was for a certain number of years handed over to British Government for the maintenance of troops for the protection of Hyderabad state. Before the period was over the late Lord Curson, then Viceroy of India, made the late Nizam sign a mysterious document by which the British are now the masters of Berar. Lord Reading the ex-Viceroy of India, in a most imperialistic fashion, gave out on the eve of his departure from India that the British are the sole masters of India and it is the supreme power at the feet of which all Indian states should bow down with great humility!! Very recently the British Government in India said that as there prevails maladministration in the State of Hyderabad, it is the bounded duty of the British to interfere in the affairs of the state management for the interest of the people residing there, and to put the house in order; at the helm of administration, white people should be appointed who could be best guides to His ex-Highness the Nizam in the betterment of State Nizam had to yield to this Thus under the garb of misrule, British are now trying to usurp that State If there is the least disobedience or disrespect shown by Nizam, the British cannons are on the right of his domination to answer the challenge, which means that the Government of Nizam should yield quietly and satisfy the lust of the British Imperialists Racial Prejudice The Government of Ceylon does not want Indians in their civil service, the only public service in that Colony which Indians could enter by open competition in the civil service examination in London. We are not aware that the people of Ceylon are against them or look upon them as foreigners. It is certainly not due to any agitation on their part against Indians that the recent decision to exclude them has been taken. It is solely due to the feeling of jeaousy with which the English entrants for the annual open competition in London for the Indian and Colonial services look upon the smatching away of even a few places by the Indians India has no objection to Ceylonese entering the Indian civil Service They are certainly preferable to the Australian and South African (whites) youths, who enter the I C S. The feeling in India about the Ceylonese is that between them and Indians there are many bonds of cultural and religious sympathy that both are after all one people. Growling of Mussolini In his most recent visit to Italy Rabindra Nath Tagore was feted and honoured by the Fascist Dictator and Italian people. On his return to London he hastened to correct the erroneous impression that had found its way even into India about his being charmed by the Fascal meth ods of government. He disclaimed holding any such view in his letter to Rev. C. F. A. The text of which was published by "The Manchester Guardian". For some time the Fascist press was silent over this well deserved snub. But the "Popolo d'Italia" which is edite by Mussolini's brother, now comes out in recent issue with the following vitriolic comment- "When the unemployed hangers-on of certain so-called circles of culture decided to invite Tagore to tour the country, we were not enthusiastic for the idea, Mr Rabindra Nath, poet of Flowers, Stars and Pounds and Sterlings unbuttoned his tunic and preached in broken English to various provincial gatherings overcome by the imbecile attraction of the exotic and the intertional. He returned a second time and accepted the homages of the Prime Minister. Tagore then recrossed the frontier and immediately began to spit poison against Italy. Who cares?"

Marines who have been guarding the mails. He estimated the cost of this new service to be $5,600,000 per annum. This will create many new civil service jobs for our Colored men, who are able to qualify. The Post office clerk and carrier examination is continued to be held once in each month Another good paving position for young men. 200 colored men were appointed to the service during the past 18 months.

And fine texture means small bubbles. This provides two distinct advantages. (1) Small bubbles hold more water and much less air; they give more points of moisture contact. (2) They permit greater penetration down to the base of the beard. $\textcircled{3}$ That's where softening really counts. That's where the razor does its work.
