Zion, Church, made a plea for the Negro press as part of his Emancipation address. He said in part: "My last plea is for the races press. The newspapers and magazine a cupy place to make my race press a potent potent of all agencies teaching the public conscience and inspiring the whole race. If you could strike the Negro press and its work from us, it would be like blasting Gibraltar away from Constanța nople, or taking the altar out of religion, or blowing the stars out of the night. "I do note, that a few of us are awake to the sacrificial, and indispensable work being done by our growing but retarded press, advertisise our churches and organizations in our columns and force of these papers, resort to galactic news, and questionable advertisements for their support. They must choose between this and going out of business." "Friends, you, are just true and tried Negroes" if you do today, have Nero newspapers and literature coming to your home, in every weekly mail. They plead, our cause before the world, fight our battles, hold our ideals, articulate race spirit and enterprise, keep the fires of religion burning on our altars of art and science. They are our suit by day and our stars by night. Let us today, if we have not already done so, begin to patronize the Negro press and read race books. If we keep the Negro press pouring its streams of glitening gems down into our homes, they will know these, things. If we fall here we lose a priceless heritage that will keep us believing that the black man is doomed to inferior." George W. Titus Appointed Aide de Camp of National Commander's Staff, G. A.

"There was a time when my health was not so good, says Mr. Miles Hopkins. "I suffered a great deal from gas pain. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had a fever, aches, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small amount of my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was improved. I made me realize the experience of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and sad, I go to the other which I feel O. K. again. "I try to keep my system cleaned, and I find Black- Draught a great aid." Thedford BLACK-DEAUGHT Purely Vegetable Tuskegee Institute, Ala. - The prospect of having a safe farming program for 1927 pointed but it seemed expected to attract a considerable number of farmers of the South to the 36th annual Tuskegee Negro Conferences which meets here Wednesday January 19. Dr. Spright Dowell, president of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn will deliver the principal address. Consideration of the place of diversification in such a program will engage the attention of the farmers, who are seeking a means of avoiding the overproduction of cotton which caused the depopulation of the cotton market. Attention will also be devoted to the problem of marketing with a view to reducing the production cost and selling to the greatest advantage. Teachers ministers and workers will discuss the subject of a safe farming program as it relates to rural life at the Workers Conference on the Tuesday night preceding Farmer's Day. In connection with the Workers' Conference there will be a meeting of the executive committee of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. Emancipation Program Given At Columbia, S. C.

"What we are going to do in the South," continued Mr. Forman, "is to clear away all obstacles in the way of individual development. But even after these, obstacles are cleared away there will still be a great deal of work to be done.

TENANT RELIEF IS OFFERED IN BILLS IN STATE ASSEMBLY Grenthal Presents Two Rent Bills and One For New Court District Continued relief for tenants in New York City is provided for in three bills introduced on Monday, January 10, in the State Assembly by Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal of the 19th A. D. Bill No. 1 extends the emergency rent laws now in force from the date of expiration, June 1, 1927, for another year until June 1, 1928. Bill No. 2 creates a new Municipal Court District. Bill No. 3 permits tenants to deposit their rent in Court in the event that there are tenement house violations filed affecting their apartments. Extends Rent Law The first is a new ordinance, to provide for continued relief from opioid rent conditions while the latter two are identical with bills introduced by Mr. Grenthal in last year's Assembly. The second bill provides for the Tenth District Municipal Court, covering the territory west of Eighth Morningside, St. Nicholas and Edgecombe avenues, from 110th to 118th to 125th, to 145th, to 155th streets, to the Harlem and Hudson Rivers. This will leave the District Court to cover the Harlem territory lying between Fifth avenue and Harlem River to 155th street, and east of the avenues bounding the new 10th District. Each Court is to have three Justices, which will mean the election of two in the Seventh and one in the Tenth at the general election in November, 1927 Shaw University Begins Six Week's Course For Ministers Raleigh, N.

Among the candidates that might be considered for their work along religious lines, the name of Elder R. C. Lawson, pastor of the Refuge Church of Christ of the Apostolic Faith, at 52, 54 and 56 West 133rd street, should be listed. Coming to New York in 1919 unknown and with no denominational backing Elder Lawson has in eight years built up a church with more than 600 communicants; secured a home for his organization, which with alterations represents an expenditure of $45,000; and has gone a long way toward redeeming 133rd street back in the list of respectable streets for colored people. 133rd street, especially that part that lies East, of Lenox avenue, was ing souls in 133rd street.

This denomination now son first came to Harlem, he learned churches in several large cities, their PETER H. ELDER R. C. LAWSON Founder & Pastor of Refuge Church of Christ, of the Apostolic Faith, at 32 West 133rd St. New York City. that this part of 133rd street was considered the worst section of Harlem and uplifted new York. Many people considered it unsafe to walk along this street even in the broad daylight. Here Elder Lawson decided the message of God was needed and he would be the messenger. He began holding street meetings on 133rd street and birth avenue during the summer and early fall of 1919. His message early hold and soon he had the following, so much so that it was able to negoiate for the purchase of three private dwellings which were latter remodelled into his present church edifice. This remodelling was not done at one time. At first the little congregation used the parlor floors of one of the houses. Then, as the membership increased, the partition was removed from the adjoining house, doubling the space; and finally the three houses were turned into one and an extension built in the rear, which gives the auditorium a depth of more than 90 feet. Other improvements included the lifting of the ceiling of the middle building so that more light and air could be had. When the front basement are three stores—a cooperative grocery, an art shop, and a restaurant. There are rooms for the each auxiliaries, a pastor's study and an apartment in the building occupied by Elder Lawson and his family. As martulous as has been the material progress of this church, this has not been its greatest achievement. The bettering of the neighborhood and the winning of souls to Christ has been the big work. Since he has been in New York Elder Lawson has baptized more persons than any other local minister in that space of time. In fact according to Elder, Lawson, Bird street is no longer the worst street in Harlem. Drinking and getting drunk is the most frequent mideananor committed there and he major crimes have been reduced by more than 60 per cent concluded by Mr. C. of New Iberia, L.A. in a family of preachers recently pastored church and in Columbia, O. in New York. In aid of an absorbing task of aid ing souls in 1834rd street, Elder Lawson has found time to establish and build up a special denomination, with his New York Church as the mother church. This denomination now has churches in several large cities, their most recent: purchase being the old church building of the St. Augustine's P. E. Church in Brooklyn. A convention of the yarious churches affiliated with the Refuge Church of Christ of the Apostolic, Faith will be held in New York this coming August.

Six ambitious and energetic girls are to be given an opportunity to learn, under improved methods, millinery, dressmaking and beauty culture—the latter embracing three recognized systems—without financial costs, them, through an official made up drama A. L. Pitsis of 2169 Seventh avenue. Since 1913, Mrs. Pitts has conducted in New York City a fashionable dressmaking establishment; first in The Bronx, then, in 1916, after a trip to Paris for additional study in designing and styles, in the downtown section, in 49th Street, in the short while, in the opposite to 44th street, she operated a place adjacent to the Claridge Hotel, leading society and theatrical women among her constant patrons, and her costumes were very much the vogue. Prior to coming to New York, Mrs. Pitts had operated a large and successful establishment at Macon, Ga., and even then she was freely grazing of her ability in (intructive) training scores in the school, self-esteem and competent workers in dreaming, and millinery. Some of the most noted and successful modiates in New York were among those trained by Mrs. Pitts. In Personal Charge In 1921, Mrs. Pitts opened a Harlem shop, continuing also her downtown establishment. In 1923, however, she closed the latter place, and since then has been giving all of her time uptown. Recently she fitted up a beauty parlor, which was opened by a manager, to the arrangement of factory and Mrs. Pitts is now personally in charge of all the activities of her establishment. Parly to relieve herself of this arduous responsibility, but more that she may help some deserving girls to economic independence, Mrs. Pitts is now advertising for six capable girls who are willing to agree to take the full course of training which she offers without charge and then continue as managers and prospective partners in the business. It is a splendid and unusual opportunity for deserving girls who will give their time and energy to building no a substantial future, says Mrs. Pitts. Was Pioneer In Business In addition to millinery and dressmaking, Mrs. Pitts will use the E. L. P. Improved Course and the Walker and Poro systems of hair culture. Both as modiate and beautician, Mrs. Pitts has taken advantage of opportunities to study latest methods in America and Europe. She was the first woman of the race to appear on the program of the National Negro Business league representing purely business activities. She addressed that body at several meetings on millinery and dressmaking, under the presidency of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, and she was in charge of exhibits in these lines at exposition at Nashville, Charleston, the Georgia State Fair at Macon, and on a number of other occasions.

Bradhurst 6610. Sunday was a full day at 'Siloam. At the morning hour, Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, discoursed on the christian life as that of a life of warfare, taking his text from 2 Corinthians 10:4. All life is a life of warfare, the survival of the fittest: the weak die, the strong survive. In the christian life, self-mortal conquered by the beauty of a christian life by exemplifying that life in our daily intercourse with our fellow man. Christ came into the world to destroy all that was bad and evil; the church today must continue to combat against that which is bad and evil. The christian life is an aggressive life, meek but never cowardly. The Bible School met in several departments. at 1.15 p. m. The attendance was large in the several departments. At four o'clock and afternoon service was held under the auspices of Mrs. Gertrude Martin. At this service, John F. Hylan, former mayor of Greater New York, delivered the address.

Lafayette 6116 PAGE THREE Editor Bryant was actuated in his denouncement of The Age's criticism by an intense loyalty to the church of which he is a member and an official, which blinded him to the real motives for such criticism. Since that time Editor Bryant's eyes have been opened and he has gone far beyond anything that The Age ever implied in his charges against the bishops of his denomination. We defer to the inside knowledge that Mr. Bryant has acquired of wrongdoing in high places and admire his courage in dragging these matters to the light and exposing the wrongdoors. In this same issue of the Young Allenite he refers to "a state where the bishop was stealing everything in sight that was raised on education, and who then stole five thousand dollars of dollar money, which he made good under threat of exposure and indictment. The school he robbed was eventually taken over by white creditors and is now being bought again by the loyal but shamefully abused people." LIFE INSURANCE DEVELOPMENT. The development of life insurance in this country has not only worked to the advantage of the policy holders in safeguarding their dependents against privation and want, but it has built up great accumulations of capital which have served for the promotion of business and home builders. This aspect of the function of the insurance business has not been lost sight of by promoters of insurance companies run by and for Negroes. The rapid growth of this phase of insurance was illustrated by some figures shown in the report of the National Negro Insurance Association, given out at Washington. The continued reiteration of the charges of corruption against the highest officials of the church emphasizes the necessity for a religious house-cleaning. As we said, when these charges were first preferred by Mr. Bryant, his standing, as a citizen, a layman and an officer of the denomination whose bishops he thus accuses, emphasize the necessity for a hearing and thorough investigation. In calling upon the churches to do their own house-cleaning, The Age sought to impress upon those interested the necessity of such a proceeding to save the church from further discredit and loss of prestige. What can be the possible result among the readers of the Young Allenite of digesting such monthly denunciation of the fathers of the church as thieves and robbers? If it does not encourage the crookly inclined to go and do likewise, it would at least digust the decent and honest youth with the principles of high finance practiced by exemplars of Christian piety and drive them from further connection with such a grafting game. This report showed a grand total of $1,399,000,000 Negro risks carried by American insurance companies, of which one white company carried nearly three fifths of that amount. The other two-fifths were divided between white and Negro companies, the amount carried, by the twenty-three companies of the association being fixed at $164,246,500. The total amount of life insurance in force in the United States for 1925, according to the report, was over seventy-three billions of dollars, the Negro risks representing less than two per cent, of that amount. This shows that the field for insurance among Negroes is still susceptible of greater development. The church should clean house before it is too late. Radio listeners were given a clear exposition of the reasons which prompted Admiral Peary to select Matthew Henson as his sole American aid in his famous dash for the North Pole in a talk by Donald McMillan, the Arctic explorer, a few nights ago. Mr. McMillan said that Peary's reason for taking Henson was because the latter was an expert in Arctic work. He had built all the skedges used by the party, fashioned all the equipment, spoke the Esquimo language and was the most popular member of the party with the Esquimos. Henson was pronounced a better man for the purpose than any of the white members of the party, and McMillan called him in some respects better than Peary. Peary was quoted as saying, "We can't get along without Henson." The pioneer company under Negro management in this field, the North Carolina Mutual Life, in a recent statement expressed the conviction of its officials, based on an interchange of correspondence and information with more than two hundred and sixty white companies, that the Negro population needs a number of strong insurance companies operated by trained members of the race, to take care of the several groups and sections of the country. This would involve intensive development of the various fields and careful supervision. To serve this purpose most effectively would require the development of a limited number of strong companies, which could better meet the need of these sections because of more immediate communication and readier accessibility. While this tribute to Henson's aid in enabling Peary to discover the North Pole may have been news to the majority of radio listeners, it was not the first time that the facts have been proclaimed by Mr. McMillan. Most accounts of Arctic exploration while lauding Peary, usually ignore the fact that Henson was his sole companion besides the Esquimos in the discovery of the Pole. Fame and fortune were accorded Admiral Peary for his heroic exploit in pushing to the furthest point North, but Henson's part in the enterprise received but grudging acknowledgment, when any was given. Congress rewarded Peary by awarding him a medal and retiring him with the rank and pay of admiral. Henson received a minor appointment in the Customs service and no thanks from Congress or anybody else. In line with this policy the North Carolina company arranged to transfer a part of its field in the Southwest to the Century Life Insurance Company of Little Rock, Arkansas. The company's business in the State of Florida has also been disposed of, the policies being taken over by the Afro-American Life Insurance Company of Jacksonville. On the other hand, the North Carolina company announced its intention to extend its business into Northern territory. In keeping with its plans for concentration, these states will be entered only as adjacent territory is developed. The smaller territory and concentration of population in larger centers in the North are expected to render the work comparatively easier with a concentration of effort. This development of new fields in the North is the result of a demand for such service, but it is not to be at the expense of the states where the North Carolina company still continues to operate. These states are assured of a larger measure of supervision, because the reorganization of the field covered will make possible oligers and more frequent contact with the policyholders. This lack of public recognition and reward was emphasized by the action of Representative Caller of Brooklyn, who introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to repair this neglect by commending Henson's service, granting him a medal and retiring him on a pension, at the proper age limit. This tardy acknowledgment of the service rendered by Henson in making possible the discovery of the North Pole, would seem to be a recognition which could be supported by the representatives of all parties, without regard to politics. If the location of the Pole was a public service, which most scientists and explorers will contend. Matthew Henson is entitled to some official recognition of the part he played in that exploit. That his part was no small one is made clear by the generous acknowledgment of Mr. McMillan who is an authority on Arctic exploration. This policy outlined for the expansion of insurance among the race appears to be based upon sound principles, and capable of being worked out to a successful issue in the hands of sane and experienced executives, such as the heads of the North Carolina company have proved to be. EDITOR BRYANT'S APOLOGY. Editor Ira T. Bryant of the Young Alenite, otherwise "a paper for Allen's young people," in particular those of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in the December number made a handsome apology for some strictures he made against the action of The Age some time ago. The apology is accepted in the spirit in which it is made, as we realized at the time that AMERICANIZING THE FILIPINOS. A Sunday issue of the Phillipines Herald, which styles itself "the pioneer Filipino daily," gives striking evidence of either external or internal efforts to promote the process of Americanization among the natives of the islands. The Herald is published as Manila and the issue at hand consisted of thirty-six pages, comprising six sections. In these sections were included news, sports, student's page, editorials, special features, news of the week, society, our readers' views, Cupid's corner, shipping, comics, and magazine. The strictly American features were Brabante's editorial and the comics, which included "Gasoline Alley" and other atrocities in colored ink. The only feature printed in Spanish was the editorial, which was first given in English. The subject of the leader was the sending of a small legislative mission to the United States to fight proposed reactionary measures during the short session of Congress, such as the Bacon and Kless bills. This received editorial approval as imperative, with the provision that it should not be made too burdensome on the public coffers. The other editorial dealt with the need of stern public opinion to frown severely upon members of the community who gamble, or associate with women of questionable reputation, or otherwise break social laws. In the news columns the principal items of domestic news were the announcement that Governor General Wood was expected to return to Washington for a conference with President Coolidge, the stabbing of a popular club man at a cabaret, the approval of thirty-nine measures by the legislature, property damaged by a typhoon at Batangas, the Chinese immigration bill declared illegal by the Attorney General and President Quezon's efforts to settle a row in the legislature. In an interview on the Bacon bill, Senate President Quezon denounced the proposed legislation as unjust and unreasonable and decidedly a backward step. Other Filipino leaders followed in the same strain. The sporting page featured an account of how Cebu Kid Moro scored the most convincing decision of his career by outpointing Ceferino Garcia. Golf for women was discussed by Mary Isabel Caldwell, while baseball, basketball and football were among the local activities reported. On the student's page reasons for non-promotion were outlined by Aniceto Fabia of the University of the Philippines, while the low morale in public schools was attributed to the presence of irresponsible teachers by a youthful writer, named M. Kasilag Medina. On the society page the pictures of the brides of the season showed typical Oriental features of pleasing and refined cast. Cupid's career for vary little troubles of the lovelorn, introduced the following bit of verse: Surly to bed and surly when up Makes a man sweet as a poisoned pup The Philippines Herald looks like it has come to fill a vacant niche in the development of the Filipinos into standardized Americans, whether it is merely a medium of propaganda or a manifestation of native enterprise. Whether the ultimate result will be an improvement over the produce of the Spanish regime time alone can tell The Philippines Herald looks like it had come to fill a vacant niche in the development of the Pilipinos into standardized Americans, whether it is merely a medium of propaganda or a manifestation of native enterprise. Whether the ultimate result will be an improvement over the product of the Spanish regime time alone can tell. UNFITNESS IN THE SENATE. The New York Evening Enquirer, which possesses the novel distinction of being a New York paper published only on Sundays, recently discoursed at some length in black faced type on the peculiar uuftiness of certain types for public office in this country. It singled out Senator Hefflin of Alabama as a striking revelation of this fact, because of his feats of mountebankism in the body which he so signally fails to adorn. The Enquirer pronounced the Hefflin type as the result of an inferiority complex, thereby putting him in the same class as Marcus Garvey. It continued: The New York Evening Enquirer, which possesses the novel distinction of being a New York paper published only on Sundays, recently discoursed at some length in black faced type on the peculiar unfitness of certain types for public office in this country.

The Enquirer pronounced the Hefflin type as the result of an inferiority complex, thereby putting him in the same class as Marcus Garvey. It continued The Senate has been spending too much time in investigating the fitness of senator-elect. The Senate would be much better occupied in investigating the fitness of some of those who already have been admitted. The toleration of the astime exhibitions of Helfin places the Senate on trial. There is something lacking in the rules and regulations that govern the proceedings of that august assembly where the privilege the hedges the Senate be employed close to the blackguardian against the punishment it provokes. Where the dignity and decorum of a great deliberative assembly are trampled upon by peasant politicians, the good name and credit of the American nation demand speedy and exemplary vindication of the recognized amenities of public discussion. Is it not rather farcical that men of the Ileffin type are privileged to sit in judgment on men whose fitness for senatoral rank is in doubt? This is a day of questioning as to the efficiency of parliamentary government. The last time a popular government in countries that boasted of their democratic institution. It requires no prophetic vision to foresee a time when the people of these United States will revolt against a system that throws the cloak of privilege and immunity over a Helfin. Senator Hefflin is undoubtedly deserving all the criticism that the editor of the inquirer heaped upon him, but when the editor sought to absolve the South from sponsibility for Hefflin as its real representative, he does not make so strong a use.

A cultured, a generous and a tolerant South would not elect such a misfit for Senator as Heffin has proved to be. When the South is truly entitled to be regarded in the light, of the halo held by the Enquirer, Heffin will be relegated to the backwoods where he belongs. The Oklahoma City Block Dispatch has instituted a department of social service, which it started with the following plea: Let us make our beginning. let us not expect to be recognized as a race or to be blessed of God until we systematically remember our aged; until we have succeeded and protected the orphan; until we have surrounded our AGED MINISTRY irresidible to denomination with those soufsorth that the needs of their lives deserve. I believe the hearts of many of you are acute; to this end of our life, if you did not give to the community chest and I made a heartfelt appeal to you, let us black folk of intelligence put our heads together and get down to some desinite work. Just now wg face the coldest winter of a hundred years. Scientists gave us the warning last summer. Have we thought anything about how our brother will make it through? You say to me: "What can we do?" We with our little means. Oh much, much can be done by intelligence. It is an astonishment to me why we call ourselves "human" and do so little. I cannot understand why we need big expensive equipment and organization to give food and fire and clothes in times of bitter cold. In addition to such help, readers are invited to submit their problems, whether "fanpalel, home trouble, or love heart ache" to the Social Service Editor, who promises to answer with advice and practical assistance. That should be a busy department. A news article in the Oakland Western American' related how a colored man and his wife from Texas arrived in Los Angeles and startled local financiers by paying thirty thousand dollars for what was claimed to be the finest residence owned and occupied by a black American west of Chicago. The article continued. With 80,000 white property owners of Los Angeles carrying on a bitter secret propaganda movement to keep their district white, R. L. Andrews, a retired groceryman of Houston, Texas, quickly became domiciled as a resident of the fashionable West Adams district and a neighbor of Wm. Gibba McAdoo, Hal Roach and other wealthy world-known persecutors. Located on the corner of Gramery Place and 25th St., the Andrews residence is a safely home of 10 rooms finely furnished. Finished in stucco, the residence is located on a high tract of land. 138 by 150 feet. surrounded by spacious lawns, fine shrubbery and flowers, many of which are being put out by Mr. Andrews himself at an additional cost of $5,000. So far no opposition was reported to the advent of the new owners and the white press was strangely silent about the matter. The Nashville Globe noted a successful innovation in the history of public school education in the shape of the all-year school. It said: Under this arrangement, the school is divided into four terms of twelve weeks each, known as the Summer Term, the Winter Term, and the Spring Term, respectively. These four terms are all equal to each other in time and in the character and amount of work done. This gives forty-eight weeks of actual school work during the calendar year, leaving four weeks of the fifty-two weeks or accrual of the remaining weeks. As the Spring-Term, and two weeks in December, including the Yuletide Season, at the end of the Fall Term. The advantage of the all-year school are apparent. The Fall, Winter and Spring Terms constitute what was formerly the regular school year, or the nine month's session. $T_0$ this is added the Summer Term which completes the All-Year system. The course is so arranged that any three terms constitute the work of a scholastic year, so a pupil may be pleased to please the students and still complete the work of a school year. Or, if he prefers to remain in school the full term, he gains advanced standing in scholarship and one-fourth of the year in time and in four years he gains one whole year in time, and advanced scholarship. The supervisor of colored schools in Nashville emphasized the advantages of this system in enabling the students to graduate from high school three years earlier than under the old system. Referring to the case of I. Willa Cole and William Wareley, the two colored editors of Louisville, Ky., who were fired $250 each for alleged contempt of court, the Louisville Leader said editorially. The case is not that of the editors alone but all Negroes, all newspapers, especially those published by Negroes, and we appreciate the many kind words from friends and citizens here and there and the contributions made to the defense fund Every penny, nickel, dime and dollar is appreciated. Especially we thank the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P for the $500 and the churches and other organizations that responded to the height of the N. P. which is looking after the defense. We thank Bishop R. A. Carter, Chicago, Ill.; Prof. D. H. Anderson Louisville, Ky., for personal contributions of $5 each An appeal from the verdict of the lower court was enferred, and the case will be carried to a higher court with a view of maintaining the freedom of the press. Commenting on Atlanta's million dollars drive to buy publicity for the purpose of selling Atlanta to the world, the Atlanta Independent said THE AGE READERS' FORUM thing that makes for a better and greater Atlanta, but how does it warrant, literally into the movement, when the million dollars are spent among white folks only and the invitation extended through advertisements are to white people only, and it is the tendency of the city government to lessen the opportunity of black men and women to work, and to fix an arbitrary price for white labor, and force the Negro in common with the white taxpayer, to contribute of his earnings, to furnish work for other people, who pay no tax, and he excluded from the benefits. But in spite of the handicaps, the Negro in Atlanta is increasingly given the opportunity to wealth. The opposition and jadeheads placed in his way to keep him from succeeding is giving him a deeper and firmer foothold in the soil. Carefully and surely, as the white man moves north, as his wealth increases the Negro steadily occupies the home* the white man thought once upon a time was a glory. And gradually he is buying and paying and paying for the southside as fast as the property of the white man permits him to move to the north. The Independent asserts that the Negro is deserving of special consideration, as he has, contributed more to the Ira T. Bryant Makes Handsome Apology To The N. Y. Age Editor (From the Young Allenite) Whether we are happy over the fact or not, there is no gainaying that the Negro newspapers are to be reckoned with from now on by those who seek to win the confidence and support of the Race. Nothing has contributed more to this result than the presence among the creditable secular newspapers that have conceived the interest of the Race, newspapers that have convictions and the courage to stand by them, newspapers that have put honor above price, duty above expediency. It is not as easy to silence editors with flatteny or bait them with gold as it used to be. These newspapers are making it rough for the frauds within the Race who delight to profit from the ignorance and credibility of those about us. They no longer furnish protection and immunity from allying of the big church or lodge grafter under the pretense of hurting the Race. They recognize their duty as adherent of news and defenders of the rights of the people, and measure their policy toward the big and little crook by the same yardstick. The Negro Church has been the chief beneficiary of such a policy. Such great newspapers as the Afro-American, Birmingham Reporter, Chicago Defender, Atlanta, Independent, New York Age, Amsterdam News, with a great array of those of lesser light, are beginning to be mighty terrorists for evil-doers about us. There has been entirely to blame for the frauds in race, in speaking out against the crooks and the frauds they promoted by them. We have shamefully abused the theory of jealousy by misinterpreting the motives of those who sought to warn us, and "Lynching Confusion Of 1926" Editor of The New York Age. Just how far the increase or decrease in the lynchings of one calendar year as against another, represents a change in the moral nature of a community, is difficult to ascertain. In other words, just how far one can go in believing or stating that communities are improving in attitude of tolerance as result of fewer lynchings in one year as compared to another, is the question. It has been always difficult for the writer to accept these annual comparisons in figures as conclusive evidence, as representing a change in attitude. During the lean years of lynchming it is interesting to see some half dozen or more organizations, each claiming the credit for having influenced the behaviour of the would-be lynchers, to the extent that the "neck-tie parties" and other forms of mob vipering were used. In 1925 we have 13 more persons lynched than during the year 1925. Two of these were women. It must be kept in mind that the names of a great many Negroes who "come to their death at the hands" of parties unknown never appear in public prim. About a year ago at a certain Negro institution of learning, the head of the agriculture department was down on the campus by a mob in hooded clothing, and one information that has come out of the community has been by word of mouth, and that in a whisper, because of penalty of death Because the southern newspapers generally condemn lynching and criticize the officials for negligence of duty, and because the average local community fears the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynchship. This effort is made to prevent this lynching news so that many Neeroes dismay from their communities overnight, untwent, unhonored and unsuing. The annual report of lynching always raises this question in our minds, whether the increase or decrease of the past year over some previous year represents a growing feeling of tolerance, or a larger or smaller increase of contortions or misunderstanding of the part of members of the two groups for the upgrits and building of the city in his prosperity than any other element. The Baltimore Afro-American told the following story about the activities of a parent's association connected with a Baltimore High School: Five thousand parents of the 2,500 children attending the $1,000,000 Douglass High School did the total sum of $5.10 as memberships in the Parent-Teacher Club of the school last year. This was the announcement the secretary read at the reading Thursday of last week. Global receipts of the club were a social sponsored by the teacher paid the $1.50 contributed by three hundred of the club who paid dues of fifty cents each. Informal mention was made by a parent last week of the fact that the high school needs a pipe organ and that in the Parent-Teacher Club, which by the way has never seen fit to join the General Federation of Parent-Teacher Clubs of the city, is expected to raise the funds for it. At the rate of $1.50 a year, any school boy can figure out how long it will take the Douglass High School Parent-Teacher Club to raise $10,000 or $15,000 necessary to equip the school auditorium with a pipe organ. According to the figures given a pipe dream would appear to be a more likely outpause. But perhaps the parents will loosen up in greater numbers this year. have thus made easy the work of those who sought to exploit our people. The most refreshing thing in the religious life of the Race today, in the apparent change in the attitude of the Negro press toward Negro churches and their activities. The churches themselves have in the main been responsible for this radical change. Herefore there has been too little in common between the Negro press and religious organizations of the same Race. The leaders of the latter class were principally responsible for this situation. They knew that honest Negro editors of secular papers would not continually boost their programs and magnify the greatness of their leaders without at least occasionally coming some investigation of the truth behind them. Negro church leaders have been able to "take no chances" preferring it seems to "let sleeping dogs die," and that there should be a sharp line of demarkation between the activities of the Negro newspapers and that of the Negro church and that a mutual agreement that each should "shiny on his own side." The rank and file have been taught to accept any criticism of their leaders by the secular press, however mild and deserving, as the thrust of an enemy bent upon "impeding our progress." We can recall the time when a reference to the autocracy of a bishop in our church by the New York Age brought forth a vigorous attack against that great journal by the editor of our own Christian Recorder, who denounced the "spike as an enemy to our Church." And confess that the editor of this book always immune to such玩's play. We found utterance to that same piece of demagogium backed up by no better evidence than the bare statement of Mr. Wright. We now and here apologize to Mr. Moore for our silly conduct. Had more of us come to the aid of this great editor in his effort to put a little Christ into a Christian leader, our "progress" downward since would not have been so rapid. given year. That is, if you have fewer Negroes stealing mules, disputing a white man's word, attempting an assault on an officer or insulting women, one year than another, all things being equal you have perhaps a fewer lynchings. That brings up the question whether the change is going on in the Negro community or in the white community. If Negroes are more submissive and refrain from the commission of the crimes above, then the escape the mob of midnight riders? A few days ago in Georgia a mob went to find a man who was refused to have committed a crime. After searching the house and failing to find the man wanted, one member of the mob is accredited to have said, "We must have a nigger tonight." So they proceeded to kill a seventeen year old, boy. One Negro was lynched for frightening a woman in control. Just how far this can be controlled is difficult for us to appreciate. The laurel of one cause, one resulting from the future, and the man being hunted, the other from frightening a woman. With these two new causes added for 1927, will we have correspondingly more lynching? When the cause for lynching transposes from rape or criminal assault upon woman to the frightening of a woman, or the failure to find the wanted victim, "there is confusion" JESSE TRIOMAS Field Secretary National Urban League Has your home town a New York Age representative?

CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK AVOID 'ABOMINABLE ARTIFICIALITY' OF AMERICAN WHITES The first meeting in a campaign to finance the taking over by Nazarene Congregational Church, Brooklyn, the Rev. H. H. Proctor, pastor, of the church property at Grand avenue and Lefferts place, held for forty-five years by the white congregation of the Church of our Father, was held Tuesday evening, January 4th, with a group of about four hundred present. The meeting was presided over by Dr Proctor, and both colored and white ministers participated. Rabbi Alexander Lyons compared Jewish and Negro history, declaring that both races had been compulsory expatriated and made the victims of slavery. But in 1934, thesecution had helped and Jews to accomplish whatever they did, and the early persecution of the Negro would bear fruit in his future development. In picturing the Negro as the most spiritual element in American life, he wrote that "the white mans" "abominable tendency in American life to artificially" Don't Be An Imitation Said he: "Develop along natural lines and don't be an anaemic imitation of an artificial white man." Entering A New Era The Rev J. Stanley Durke, former president of Howard University, Washington, now pastor of Plymouth congregations, Church, the old Hine Beechman Church, and Rev Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor of Central Congregational Church also spoke. Dr. Cadman saw the colored people entering a new era of achievement and understanding. He said the realization of their place in American life had brought to them a new self-respect and added: "If we only had the money that has been wasted in the past by the unkind people of this country to purchase false promises, deception and false pride, this campaign for funds would not be necessary." Other Ministers Present The Rev Thos. E. Potterton, pastor for 24 years of the Church of Our Father, welcomed the assembly age Rev. W. C. Brown brought greetings from Fleece-Street A, M. F.

First Emmanuel Church At the eleven o'clock service Sunday, Pastor Balden proclaimed from the text, "That was the true light, which lighttell every man, that cometh into the world. He was in the world and the world was made by him, and the world was not. St. John 19, 10. Theme: The Great Universal Spiritual Consciousness Mind. Eternal. Father. Manifest Through 'Many Centers of Consciousness.' Pastor Balden said: Instead of the word light, I want you to think of eternal mind consciousness. Consciousness is the ability to know which may carry with it all sense of the mind. The least of knowledge is knowing other people's affairs. Don't be a gossip getter or taker. Some people think knowledge means 'I can read, write and spell.' Book knowledge is not all. Industrial and business is not all, and scientific and religious knowledge is not all. In Genesis we read: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void: And darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God made the water be light, and there was light: And God gave the light it was good and God divided the light from the darkness and God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Light and darkness separated. That light, we can say, was consciousness dawning upon the face of the world knowledge and understanding. Will this dawning came the beats of the forests, the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea, each after their own kind. And then comes man in God's Image, who is consciousness dawns in his mind, in the constellation of the heavens God in the stars. In the world of humanity His Stars in the Old Testament were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and countless numbers in other nations. Then after those comes God Almighty in the form of a Baby Here in this Baby is not the reflected light, but He is the Embodiment of Light, He is Light. Isn't it strange that Joseph, His physical father, was a buyer of the dead, while He was a giver of life and a resurrector of dead millions of dead worlds when He was in the form of the Father, and He had recreated and resurrected new worlds and universes. Hence the author and giver of eternal life was His chief business. He was the beginning of a new world order of beings. Jesus Christ our Lord the Fimmannel came here to show the world a new consciousness. Not man's knowledge, but God's not man's mind. His God, not man's God. God is not the consciousness of man, not even the consciousness of the first man. It does not emphasize human re- BENDAI MEMORIAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 122 W. Church St. W. JAHNOWAY. Maillet.

Some people say Jesus' teachings are not for this world created by man, but it is for the world created by man. Man is created by our Lord the Enmuthat Himself. Realize the consciousness of God as your Father. The consciousness of giving is used as the spirit of Christmas. And the wise men are used as examples. But that is not so. The wise men brought gifts to the Baby Jesus the Emmanuel and their gifts symbolized who He was and how He should die. God's little bundle of love was given to the Jews and they refused it. It was then given to the world and to as many as received it to them gave He power to become the Sons of God. Great mind power is now come to the front to-day. Jesus did not come in here demonstrating power. God the Father inoculated in a helpless humanivine Baby, who showed nothing consciousness nor had the power in Human to get out of the reach of Herod, who caught the young child to take His Life. He caught the protected by angels, Mary, His Mother seph and is carried by them down into Leyn, where He is to remain until God the great universal consciousness gives word to return. There are manifested centers of divine consciousness in persons and nations in the world of humanity. But there gaver has been and never will be such a personal incarnation as was and is in Jesus Christ our Lord the Enmanual. Talk about power, when our resurreced Lord the Enmanual returns, the graves shall open and up their dead. His holy angels, shall separate the good from the bad. Live on the side of life everlasting, so that you may have a consciousness of living with Him forever. Jesus is the great universal consciousness. I am trying to develop, in your mind an appreciation for this Baby, who came in here and was a God. You can't take the humanity out of this God this Baby. Think of Jesus as a typical little boy, just like any other little boy. This Jesus our Lord the Enmanuel who manifested Himself in Melchielek in the burning bush, the pillow of cloud by fire and fire by night. This Jesus who spoke to Moses in the Wilderness. This Jesus who moved upon the face of the deep, by Whom, the world out of nothing. This light or consciousness, after it came into the world, precipitated confusion, because it shows the darkness and the darkness comprehended. Wherever the gospel of Jesus our Lord the Emmanuel has been preached, it stirs up confusion and precipitates war. He is the only Baby who had any prehistoric record of being in existence before the world was, for He says in His high priestly prayer: "Father, glorify me with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was. As a Baby, He was not conscious of the trouble He was stirring up by His presence. He was the cause of all the male children being killed by Herod, who was looking for Him. God had many angels, but He never companioned them as He did Adam or man. So the essence, God, decides to make a body like man's, and come down and reduce it when he fails. Man falls and God in Jesus comes down, and redemits him by dying for Him. Do you realize that there are stable and manger thoughts within the deep recesses of your mind where the Christ child is born to you? And the Herod thoughts of fear in your mind seek to kill this child. And you are forced to flee with your Christ Child into the deep recesses of your mind and there keep Him until the Herod fears thoughts die and the Father gives you word to bring Him constellation. How large is the Christ constellation in you? It is still a Baby. Is it a man? Is it a resurrected Christ? Jesus Christ. Lord the Emmuelman suits Himself to ease age and to each person, acclimating to their needs. Be more Christlike. Endearthy. His life of love, service and goodwill. And he will in the great resurrection more, give you a glorious bloodless body like His own and dwell with him forever. Sunday school at 2 p. m.

Bridge St. A. M. E. Church "Men and women who remain in sin do so because they want to" said the pastor, Dr. Edward E. Taylor, during the course of his sermon at the morning hour. He was talking on the table the *Pountain For Sin*. The text was, *Gecharah* 12:10 and 13:1. It was the name of the pastor's messages, from favorite hymns. The hymn used was *Blessed the Pountain*. He pointed out that in review hymns we learn that they tell of sin and joy we have lost because of that sin. They also point out the outstanding fact that God has made provision for us despite the fact of our sins. Dr. Tyler closed with the thought that, there can be but two attitudes towards sin. One is that we seek to excuse it by pleading extinguish circumstances, and the other is open, complete and full confession. We who assume the lastUDE are on the right road.

THOMPSON When the Leigh Valley Limited pulled out of Philadelphia at 12:40 Monday afternoon, headed northwest it bore a full contingent of owners and bosses of the Eastern Colored League en route to the annual baseball confab that by lot had fallen to the city of Detroit for the present year. Possibly the first surprise of the baseball conclave occurred and was unfolded long ere the pilgrims gathered at the "motor city" Along with Colonel Strothers, The Harrisburg owner, Hammond Daniels, president of the Bacharach Giants, and Chairman Ed. Bolden, who is also president of the Hildale Club, Jim Keenan, owner of the Lincoln Giants, who a month prior had quit the league flat, was at the Reading Terminal with his hand bag and lengthy ticket pointed for Detroit. Summing up the situation relative to the appearance of the Lincoln Giants' mentor, the ultimate conclusion is that "Orator James" has rescinded his decision to bolt the ranks and will bend his efforts toward shaping the Eastetrn loop, George Rossiter, the Baltimore owner, boarded the train at Wayne Junction, while Alexandro Pompey and Nat Strong cut across from New York and joined the moguls at Beth-Ichem, Pa. Before the party of Eastern baseball men had shaken sleep from their eyes Tuesday morning, the train rolled into Detroit at 6:15. The responsibility of being hosts, had the Western officials stirring and on the job early. Quincy Gilhore, the rollicking one from Kansas City and demon secretary of the Western works, and Docor G. Bernard Keys, St. Louis physician, vice president of the National League, headed a reception committee that piloted the visitors to hotels and later to the Y. M. C. A. Building where the leagues will convene. New Leader For Eastern Colored Leagues. Flowers Wins Knockout Victory over Keppen Black Bill Is Robbed Bruce, Flowers, New Rochelle's lightweight star, added another victory to his long list, fighting before a capacity crowd at the new Walker A. C. Saturday evening, January 8. Flowers won a knockout victory from Sig Keppen of Beaver Falls, Pa. in the sixth round of the twelve cound feature bout. Flowers had so far outclassed his opponent that Referee Johnny Marto stopped the fight and awarded the decision to Flowers as a technical knuckout. Flowers pummelled and punched Keppen at will, jabbing and crossing with effectiveness. Though seven pounds lighter, Flowers cut his opponent about the head and face and would have stopped Sig in another round. Flowers weight was announced as 133% pounds. Black Bill, the Cuban flyweight who is now under the management of Paddy Mullins was given a raw deal in the twelve round semi final. He was fighting a Mexican, Blas Rodriguez, and was the aggressor throughout the contest. At the end the judges declared the contest a draw, which brought a storm of protest from the fans. The bout between Canada Lee and Sammy Marlow was cancelled at the last minute. Linsey (Shakey) Farr defeated Roy Holland (Boston Kid) in their handicap pocket billiard match, 300 to 227 at the Lafayette Billiard Emporium last week. The Kid was to make 360 against Shakey's 300, one hundred each night. Holland claims the colored championship of New England, and Shakey is the runner up of Harlem and now stands second to James Evans. At the beginning and up to the seventh frame in the first evening play, Roy was in front by a small margin*. In the eighth frame Shakey topple the lead and continued to the end. The game was never in doubt after the first night's play and in no way was his victory aided by the handicap. About three to four hundred farm were on hand each night. Both had supporters and received liberal amphouses. Shake from the beginning played a careful and safe game out in his celebrations he was in. He invariably left the one half of the stack and as Rowan behind him he was forced into many close shots. While he made some of them he misused many. Shake's advantage Shake's hit, his old time stroke and his old and not Rowan boat his efforts to give him a return match on up, for a purse, with in thirty days. FIELD & TRACK Each league held their annual meeting separately on Tuesday. Hearkening to the constructive criticism that has been advocated by several of our leading papers and sensing that a revision of affairs is necessary, the Commissioners have decided to fill the vacant post of President. While to some it may be news, the Eastern circuit has never had a president. This chief executive had been omitted for obvious reasons and while Ed Bolden has been censored for many things, his post of Chairman of the Board has actually been censored for many things, his post of chairman of the board has actually carried no more weight than any fellow Commissioner. The owners realized it would be a mistake to name one of them as president, but knowing experience meant everything, the owners elected to guide their own destinies until such time as they felt the organization had gained impetus enough to interest the right man. The names of several prominent men have been linked with this post, Dr. G. A. Robbins of Baltimore, Lawyer Isaac, Nutter of Atlantic City, Magistrate Ed. Henry of Philadelphia and Ex-Boxing Commissioner Charles Fred White also of Philadelphia. With the incapacitation of former President Rube Foster, Dr. Keys, the vice president, stepped into the breach and was in the gavel post at the joint session. The Saint Louis doctor, while having deep appreciation for the baseball genius of their former leader has never coincided with the Foster regime and a new "order of the day" may be looked for in the wide open spaces. Whatever changes transpired, the moguls, to a man, voted to continue the five year suspension penalty for jumping players. With the Homestead Grays, the only independent club in sight able to pay salaries, the bolting players will do well to size up the situation. Diefats Howard Team Washington, D. C.—In one of the fastest basket ball games ever witnessed here, Morgan College defeated Howard University in the new gymnasium on Saturday evening, January 8, before 2000 fans, to the tune of 24 to 19. Morgan was vior over Roward twice last season. In the first two minutes of play "Lanky" Jones, All American Center, made a field goal. From that time on the game was hard and fast. Early in the first half, Howard began trying long shots after she failed to break through Morgan's defense. The half ended 13 all. In the second half Howard sent in a fresh team to tire out their opponents and then put the first team back in again. Itstead of accomplishing their aim, Morgan got a five point lead which they held to the end of the game, in spite of the fact that Jones, Wheatley and Brown had to leave the game on account of personal goals. he was Howard's star man, with three field goals, Coates with two while Trigg made often was hard to pick the star man on Morgan's team as they played in a tilt with clever passing in work- ing the ball to the basket. Clark led with three field goals, Hill two, Brown two and Jones two Lineup Howard Morgan Coates F F Clerk Simpson I F Hill Spears C Jones Bundrant R G Wheatley Trigg I G Brown Empire Young, referee West- moreland; official scorer Gibson; timers Lane and Johnson Renaissance Theatre Begins Anniversary Celebration Several high-class pictures have been secured by the management of the Renalssance Theatre to help in which begins there January 15th and the sixth anniversary celebration which begins there January 15th and continues for the rest of the month.

New York's championship musical organization, at an elaborate program on Monday evening, January 10. The program included a dinner and dance at St. Luke's Hall, 127 West 130th street. Several prominent business and fraternal men were guests of honor at the dinner, which consisted of the following. soup, celery, olives, fried chicken, Saratoga chips, green peas, lettuce and pimento salad, peach ice cream, chocolate wafers, tea and coffee. The band officers installed were, Lieutenant. Fred W.

Charles T. - Magilh, well-known newspaper man, introduced Fred R. Moore, who made the principal address to the members of the band. Dancing was enjoyed at conclusion of the dinner. "Private Izzy Murphy" At The Roosevelt Theatre In "Private Izzy Murphy," the Warner picture starring George Jessel, featuring Vera Gordon and Pasyy Ruth Miller, and directed by Lloyd Beecroft and coming to "lie Roofevelt" Theatre Sunday for a two days' run, the actual parade of the returning "Old Sixty-Ninth" up Fifth avenue is shown with Jimmie Walker, Governor Smith, Mayor Hylan, William Randolph Hearst and other notables in the reviewing stand. Private Izzy Goldberg had taken the name of "Murphy" for business reasons and when assigned to the Irish regiment he still kept the name, thinking the thorny path might be made a bit easier. The boys accepted him as "Private Izzy Murphy," a rme which he never disfigured: His parents come from the Ghetto to witness the big parade, but with broken hearts, for word has come that their boy has been killed in action. Then they see him, proud in his O D. helmet, gun, hobnails, puttees and all. It's a hale, heart-warming picture, "Private Izzy Murphy." It is a breeder of tolerance. A story of youth, bravery, love and honor with many a chuckle and an corsairial tear, and the inference that it's a pretty good old world after all! "The Canadian" At The Lincoln Theatre About eight miles east of Calgary in the Province of Alberta, Canada, there's a man who has never seen a movie, but who is a movie enthusiast. His favorite star is Thomas Meighan His enthusiasm developed when a representative of Paramount asked if his home could be used for scenes in Mr. Meighan's picture. "The Canadian" now playing at the Lincoln. This didn't seem quite clear, but after it had been explained that the company wouldn't injure the wheat or do any damage to his house and that he'd be paid for staying out of the front yard for an afternoon, he agreed. It was a weather beaten home in the midst of miles of wheat fields. All one had to do was think of winter winds whistling about it in order to feel cold. After a few hours work it was decided that in a later sequence it might be well to show a porch with flowers. Director William Beaudine asked the owner, if he could build a front porch. The owner smiled, nodded, and went about his work. That evening a well-designed porch graced homs花园. Gardens were at each end. A happy farmer said good-bye to Meghan and his associates when they left in fact, he asked them to come again and promised to name his porch "The was Meghan Porch." "The Silent Power" At The Douglass Theatre As thrilling as an electric shock, the best way to describe "The Solen Power" now at the Dougla's Theatre. This dramatic story stars Ralph Le wis, the famous character actor, in the role of the superintendent of a big power house and the principal action of the story takes place in and around the busi- ness turbines generating thousands volts of electricity. The unusual backgrounds for the star and the dramatic plot by lancer Bell Smith make this, one of the most --- Tempus Fugit By DBENEZER RAY For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday: seeing that which is past as a watch in the night. --David in the Psalms. June flies—and so it does Does it not seem as yesterday that we were about to welcome the advent of 1926?—that on our hended knees in church or at home at the stroke of twelve, we had remained in silent supplication to the Almighty, that He had spared us yet another year—that we had promised to accomplish more in the new year than we had in the past; or made some resolution or resolutions, perhaps only to be lost in oblivion with the coming days?—while others less sanctimious had paraded the streets, defying the chilly blasts of December, with whatever instruments which to their whim, seemed to make more noise than their worldly brother or sister's—that we had listened to the peeling of bells, the tooting of horns, the blowing of ships's sirens, all of which had announced the death of 1925 in the year of our Lord; at the same time heralding, in apparent joyous strain, the birth of 1926?—that others in dance halls cabarets and other places of amusement had paid but little or no attention to the undesirable fact that another milestone of their lives' journey had been reached; that the Chronicle of All Events, the Guide of All Destinies, had looked upon their, barren page, of 1925, and in His mercy had decided to spare them yet another year? Does it not all seem as yesterday? On the threshold of a new year, we pause—and on looking back what do we see? Have we accomplished anything? Have we accomplished much? I say "Yeah." I say "Nay." Hand in hand, all with one accord, the Negro may have accomplished more. A survey of the achievements of the Negro shows that he has, in his comparatively few years of freedom, risen to a summit in the various activities of life, worthy of congratulation. In the realms of literature, art, music and business he is undoubtedly reckoned with. David Belasco, prominent theatrical producer, in an issue of "Liberty" paid a glowing tribute to the Negro as an actor. Florence Mills our charming comedienne, has played and is pet playing to humper played and is yet playing to humper houses in Europe; Roland Hayes, the Caruso of our race, is still commanding recognition. Palmer C. Hayden, a window cleaner, has risen to fame, with which may come fortune, as an art painter 1926 saw the fall of many a star, which meant at times the rise of some aspirant The Universal Negro Improvement Association, an organization with the emolition of Africa as its chief aim and object, and which a few years ago commanded the attention of the Powers that be, has virtually crumbled, with the incarceration of its certifiable leader, Marcus Garvey, its property holdings in Harlem have slipped from its possession a house dwidded against itself cannot stand Rudolph Valentino, the idol of fulldom's "love" and the fair sex answered the call of the Reaper; Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world for several years, went down to defeat the hands of Gene Tunney; Harry Wills the race's idol of the pugilistic art with a large following of his paler brethren, gave way to Jack Sharkey, Tiger Flowers acquired the coveted title of middleweight Champion of the world, only to succumb to Mickey Walker, whether by fair or foul means, Harry Greb, ex-mid-itle weight champion, also answered the call of the Reaper, who Vankees suffered defeat at the hands of St Louis in the realm of baseball. Has the Negro contemplated any thing for 1927? Undoubtedly he has. Will we as a race, the apparent harmler at a great nation accomplish tons drama, seen here in some time.

This publication has recently issued a "Car Crook Supplement" which contains the names, aliases and photographs, with the Bertillon System measurements, of the most notorious of railroad car crooks and thieves. These malefactors operate on passenger trains and around Pullman yards, and are listed as "card sharks," "car prowlers and bag thieves," and "car equipment thieves." In commenting on their versatility, the editor of "The Detective" says: "While they specialize in passenger train offenses, many of them also operate as burglar, con men, pickpockets, forgers and hotel-thieves. They are easily the most versatile species of chronic crooks known to the calendar of crime." It is because of these train crooks that the Pullman Company is so insistent that each car in service be under the guard of some employee at all times. In the matter of "card sharks," it advises its passengers by bulletin to "beware of playing cards with strangers." In studying the faces of these crooks, it is not difficult to understand why some of them can ply their trade so easily without detection. On the other hand, crime shows so obviously in the faces of some that it seems as though a child could detect it. For example, take "John Ryan," described as "con man" and "card sharp." Now, no one but a criminologist—and he would hardly do so off hand—could tell that the man is a crook. He has the look which usually denotes strength of character in men. He gazes through glasses in such a disarming way that one would readily take him for a prosperous business man of fifty. Quite the antithesis of Ryan is "James A. Sweeney, 42, (flat joint worker)" "con man" and "card shark". Any one so gullible as to let this man fleece him, should have a guardian at all times. Crookedness is portrayed in every line in his face. Among the car prowlers and bag thieves, it would be hard to Judge "Emily Armstrong," (white) alias "Lucille Jester," as a confirmed thief. She has the appearance more of a harassed housewife, whose cares have made her look the 44 years which she boars. On the other hand, "Elizabeth Leal," age 21, Pullman thief, looks the part. She easily gives the impression of one who would steal anything that wasn't guarded or nailed down. All the car equipment thieves listed are Negroes. All are men; in fact, no Negro women are listed among the fifty-three crooks in the supplement. Of the eight Negroes in this classification, every one has the look of a mental degenerate. Picked Up Here And There Mrs. Ida Simma, alleged wife of a Pullman porter, on being charged with the theft of $10,000 worth of jewelry in a West Side Court, made the novel defence that her husband is a Pullman porter, and "she doesn't have to steal." Well, without any opinion on the guilt or innocence of the accused, it must be admitted that this was a rather original plea according to Mrs. Sinima's way of thinking, Pullman porters' wives are above stealing. In this, she is quite right. But how the Court will take it, is a horse of another color. John H. Glover, 38 years old, died in the Polytechnic Hospital, this city, on last Monday, January 3. Active appendicitis was given as the cause of death. The deceased lived at 143 West 138th street with his wife and two sons, both boys being of tender years. He was for many years a waiter on the New York Central Lines out of New York City, where he was well known to members of the Pullman fraternity who operate out of the Grand Central Terminal. Interment was in Woodland Cemetery, on Friday, January 7. When alterations are completed, the candy and newspaper store of John Weatherspoon at 636 Lenox avenue will be one of the few stores of this character in this locality that is operated by a colored man.

Interest in services at 13th Avenue Presbyterian Church has reached a point that unfavorable weather makes very little differences with church goers. A large and representative audience greeted Dr. Ellerson, pastor, last Sunday morning and listened with unabated interest while he preached, introducing the winter campaign of "Individual, Personal Evangelism." Dr Ellerson had for his subject "Try Again," based on the words of Peter to Jesus. "Master we have toled all the night and have caught nothing: nevertheless at Thy word we will let down the net." When the sermon was ended and the choir had very touchingly sung, "Use Me, Lord." every one felt like begining again and working without reserve in the matter of reaching and saving others for the Kingdom of Christ. The choir is making marked improvement under the direction of Frederick Moss, musical di- Bell rector. Each service shows plainly that special work is being done to bring the choir work to the standard. Thirteenth Avenue Church has always been recognized as the "satter of the pace" for real church music in this city and the present choir is sustaining this reputation. The Sunday school record shows a membership in the school now of 425 pupils and a staff of thirty officers and teacher. The Cross and Crown System" of rewarding the pupils for the perfect attendance is working wonders for the school. A number of the teachers and about forty of the pupils were rewarded with gold stars last Sunday for having a year of perfect attendance during 1926. Under auspices of the Christian Endeavor Society whose leader is George Goodwine, "Young, People's Day" will be observed on the last Sunday in January as is suggested by the General Assembly. The morning services of that day will have a special sermon for the young people of the church and the evening services will be given to a program by the younger element of the church and their friends. On last Friday evening the pastor called together and organized a group of the younger men of the church into a committee which is to be known as the Committee on Forward Movements. This committee meets again next Friday night to perfect their organization.

Hennigan's building of which Frank Wilson was contractor, is complete and is now being used Colds Should Not Be Treated Lightly When James or Isabel comes home from school with a cold, don't treat the matter too lightly. Colds should be taken in hand immediately if they are to be overcome without considerable suffering. Moreover, colds, or the symptoms of colds, often mean that the child is coming down with some one of the so-called "Children's diseases." If you notice that your child has a cold, give him a simple cathartic and put him to bed. If he does not respond to this treatment which should "nip a cold in the bud," call a doctor. Do not let the condition go for long without proper treatment. The doctor will know whether it is just a cold or whether the symptoms are those of some disease. He will prescribe treatment, and by obeying his instructions, you may be able to prevent your child from a great deal of suffering. The "children's diseases" are often very serious and sometimes leave bad conditions in their train, such as rheumatism, which in turn may cause heart disease. Children should be protected from having them if this is possible (as diphtheria, for instance, where toxin anti-toxin can make a child immune). However, if they do succumb to them, they should be given careful treatment both during their illness and during convalescence. Frequent codes may cause ear troubles and other unpleasant conditions. Therefore they should be taken care of from the beginning and should not be treated lightly.
