Malone, Who Married Wealthy Mrs. Pope-Turnbo, Feb, 1914, Was Put Out Of Her Home In 1925—Seeking Redress St. Louis, Mo.—The whispered rumors that for months have been drifting through the air that there might be "a riff in the lute", of connubial happiness in the domestic purlue wherein dwelt Mrs. Annie M. Pope-Turnbo Malone, founder and head of the great Poro College, and her eratwhile school teacher husband, Professor Aaron E. Malone, came to definite head on January 13, when the erudite professor not only asked the courts for a divorce from his wife, but also asked that she be compelled to make a 50-10 division of the reputed million dollar estate accumulated through the sale of Poro hair and toilet preparations. TICKET AGENT AND PULLMAN CONDUCTOR SWEAR THAT THEY SELL PULLMAN BERTHS TO NEGRO PASSENGERS IN THE SOUTH!! Separated In 1925. Finally, and for some—unexplained reason, in February, 1925, eight months more than a decade, the scholarly benefit came to what he believed was his home to and his business outside of the house, with all the locks changed so that the keys he carried no longer fitted. Even the locks on the Poro College library doors were changed and this was an especial humiliation and embarrassment. In December 13, therefore, Professor Mahone went into the Court of Domestic Relations, and filed suit for a divorce. At the same time, in Division 2, Circuit Court, his lawyers asked that a receiver be named for Poro College, and the appointment of Comptroller, lawyer, designated as a building. The receiver gave bonds in the sum of $50,000, and qualified for the job. Wants Half of Property.

He asked the ticket agent, Traber, for a Pullman-ticket and was sold to go to the next window.

That the Pullman conductor testified that he had been employed in that capacity for twelve years, during four of which he was assigned to the run between Chicago and Jacksonville, Fla. through Atlanta; that he has frequently assigned space to such persons where they board the train without reservations; that he has been refused to do so when occupied and such space was available, and that there was ample space on the train referred to. Discrimination Denied The general agent of the Pullman Company stated that that company makes no distinction in favor of white passengers against colored; that colored passengers are furnished accommodations whenever they request them provided they are available. Ordinarily separate Pullman cars are not provided for colored passengers because of the slight demand by the drivers of the aircraft throughout the South if they are accommodated in the same cars with the white when traveling interstate.

Pres. King's Message Mr. King said: "Every nation, like every individual, need not for itself and not for another. As a people, we Liberians are most appreciative of the religious guidance and assistance we have received from our foreign spiritual directors and the measurable benefits which we can provide to our therefor, but the hour has free from and religious indigestion arrived—for Liberia, especially the religious independence, religious bodies must be withdrawn as well as their financial support from the churches in Liberia." Bishop Had To Borrow. Despite the short time since release of this message much reaction is maniest. There are many who strongly feel that there is so much work to be done to release from Libarian obligations through exigencies of the American rubber supply affords a distinctly positive domestic blessing, particularly in view of the Liberian experiences of Bishop Sampson Brooks of the Church of Jesus Christ easily recalled had to borrow money to get back home and find out what was wrong with his financial, supply sources.

This section of the "New Negro" group believed the economic development of Liberia is of paramount importance, and well comes the going of Firestones and hive swarms to establish a crude rubber supply source in order to break the British money in order to such great commodity, and argues that so much money cannot be spent without the natives get it, as well as the use of this modern improvements which shall accuse.

There are others who recall the "Liberian loan," sought from this Government chief through American Negro representatives, the net result of the government's efforts to quarring the Hon William HP Lewis of Boston to assure the Attorney General of the United States that the Hon James A. Cobb had neither connection with nor concern for the "loan" as a condition precedent to Mr. King's elevation to the Municipal succession to the Immoral Terrell.

One 7th Ave. Stationer Who Profited Largely From Daily 'Numbers' Collections, Says He Will Shoot If Campaign Is Not Stopped Activities of members of the Police Department of New York City in curbing the operations of "numbers" policy players, as a result of the crusade conducted by The New York Age, have resulted in manifestations other than the convicting and sentencing of an appreciable number of the bankers and collectors to the Welfare Island Workhouse. In several cases, proprietors of stationery cigar stores, where newspapers are kept on sale, have refused to continue selling The New York Age, giving as a reason that this paper has injured their business by interfering with profits received from taking "numbers" plays daily. Some of these doughy dealers have even voiced threats of physical reprisals upon Age representatives.

In at least one station case, that of a Seventh avenue station store proprietor, a more sinister aspect has been given the situation. This man appears to have gotten himself into a desperate state of mind, and has declared that unless The Age lets up on its campaign, to eliminate "numbers" playing in Harlem, through which he is being made to suffer serious diminution of income, there will be some shooting done, ala the Wild West, with some member of The Age family on the receiving end. But in the meantime, there is no letup in the effort to save poor, misled and misguided victims of the "numbers" game from their own folly.

And on January 10, Judge Daniel A. Direnzo, in the Court of Special Sessions, gave him a three months' visit to the workhouse by way of compensation. Patrolman Edward H. Prinscher got busy on September 9, 1926, and visited the grocery store at 14-16 West 138th street, where he found Claudius Spear taking "numbers" plays. After arresting Spear, Prinscher went over to 142 West 142nd street, where he found Albert Christian similarly engaged. Christian was soon keeping company with Spear. Spear faced Judge Direnzo on January 10, and Christian had as similar experience in 17th. And the result was the same in both cases—both sixteen and Christian given sixteen days on Welfare Island to consider just what their profit would amount to. Patrolman William Hunter may not have intended playing Santa Claus, but on Christmas Eve, December 24 to be exact, he presented Wilford Sinclair with an incarceration slip for having had policy slips at 552 Lenox avenue, and then Judge A. V. B. Voorhees, on December 30, let Sinclair, off with a suspended sentence as a New Year's gift. Detectives Bauerschmidt And Crosby Get Men Who Play Lost Pocketbook Game Four ex-convicts, were arrested by Detectives' Baurschmidt and Crosby of the 16th Precinct as suspect operators of the 'pocketbook game among women in Harlem. For an hour before the arrest on Monday, January 17, the detectives watched the four men as they attempted to trap several women en route to work. The arrests were made near the subway station at 125th street and Lenox avenue, after the suspects had spied the detectives and attempted to flee. The suspects were: William Brooks, 35 years old; of 26 Wear 130th street; Lily Heard, 22 years old; of 83 West 126th street; Garfield Green, 36 years old; of 141 West 128th street; and George Thomas, 20 of 9 West 126th street. Brooks and Heard have been identified by Mrs. Marion Roberts as the men who robbed her of $500 through the pocketbook game several months ago on Myrtle avenue Brooklyn. When arraigned in the Heights Court they were held in $2,500 ball for a hearing on Thursday, January 20. Those who have been swindled in this manner, are asked to go to the Heights Court on Thursday-to see if they can identify either of these prisoners. 6-Year Old Charleston Dancer Lost On Elevated A.

Dogan of Wiley College stressed the absolute, fundamental necessity for young people—particularly college folk—to face up squarely to the prohibition issue in the interest of future world progress.

Of the more than half dozen leading young men and women who volunteered a express, a single one but that was pronounced in the advocacy of the good effects of prohibition and of its continuance as a social benefit.

Saving To Buy Motor Truck. Young Watlington, who lives with his parents—the mother an invalid—and three younger brothers, in humble quarters at 7 John street, White Plains, is a straight-backed, clean-cut, well spoken youth, whose ability to help himself is backed by inspiring ambition to do more. He is not able to keep busy repairing chairs, because so many people require that their old chairs be called for and delivered and he lacks the means to perform that service; accordingly, his hope and aim is to become possessed of small motch truck and he actually owns a large garden, signed for that purpose, which the White Plains's club's award of $100 will bring nearer to fulfilment, one of his brothers being competent to drive the truck when it is secured. The club's efforts to uncover and develop examples of self-heldness brought out "some of the material of which novels are made," to quote one of its official.

He had voluntarily expressed the intention of returning it to, the organization if they would reimburse him the money he spent.

Candidacy Of Mcleod Of S.C. To Federal Trade Com. Will Force Showdown On Pres. Coolidge's Attitude Toward Negro President Coolidge soon will be constrained to let the country know what sort of a citizen he considers the Negro. He will have no alternative—other than to indicate that the black man either is or is not on a parity as a citizen with all citzena This is how it shall occur: The President has to fill a vacancy on the Federal Trade Commission. By custom the Democratic are entitled to the vacancy. The most conspicuous candidate for it is the retiring Governor of South Carolina Coolidge McLeod of Alabama lynching inactivity. It is authoritatively believed that Mr. McLeod is slated for the vacant post. EDUCATION, MONEY, ARE POWER, DARROW TELLS TUSKEGEEANS Noted Lawyer Tells Student Governor McLeod's term was "famed" for the lynching of the Lowmans at Aiken. Walter White went down, made a thorough investigation, got plenty of evidence and furnished it to McLeod. The New York World exposed everything connected with the unusually barbarous killing every day for a month by the Government. His state detective, Rogers, who verified everything; yet that his term was expiring and he he failed to act, giving as his excuse would not have time, thus passing, the buck on to his successor. Protest Naming of McLeod. The National Association for Advancement of Colored People, under whose auspices and supervision Mr. White made the original investigation, has formerly protested to President Coolidge against elevating Mr. McLeod to duty service in the Federal establishment on the round the house has demonstrated his unfitness for high office and not having impartially the law in South Carolina McLeod should not be expected to comply with the law as a member of a body having to do with the country as a whole. So the President's final action in the matter is anxiously awaited; for if he names Mr. McLeod for the Federal job it must be interpellation connection with approval of the Zihlman " Jim-crow" bathing pool law for Washington, as a direct witness to the race, and verification of what is suspected—that Mr. Coolidge does not put the black man on a garry with all citizens. Sensitive To Criticism. Meantime, however, McLeod reveals sensitiveness to the just criticism heaped upon him and maybe, uneasiness about his future. His swan song on leaving the Governorship of South Carolina is full of attempted defense of his course in handling (mishandling) the Asken Lynchings cases. that the Advancement Association's position in the premises is well taken and generally supported is indicated in conversations and discussions, among those who hold no brief for the organization. In fact, Negroes generally seem to be disgusted with the Republican Party.

Recorder Froe's Experience. box in Fifth street, while Longworth name in connection with the Presidential nomination brought out the fact that during the Congressional campaign last fall, Recorder of Deeds Froe was assigned to speak at a Republican rally in Cincinnati. Mr. Froe was filling speaking dates in his own West Virginia, and his schedule included a speech at Fairmount the night before the meeting in Longworth's town. This required an mobile trip to Clarksburg, W. Virginia to catch the Cincinnati train, and all night ride. Reaching Cincinnati, Mr. Froe was directed at headquarters to the "Jim crow" "Republican" headquarters, and usually assigned to a speak on a soapbox in Fifth street, while Lingworth and the whites held forth in Sinton Hall. Froe did not speak. Proof did not speak. Such treatment of Negroes seemingly, has become the established custom of the Republican Party of Harding and Coolidge, so much so until appointment of ex-Governor McLeod of South Carolina to the Federal Trade Commission is expended. Harlem Citizens Welfare Council To Award Medals For Meritorious Service "What was accomplished in Harlem in 1926", will be the subject discussed Sunday, January 2, at 3 p.m. at Public School 136 located at St. Nicholas avenue and 136th street, under the auspices of The Citizens' Welfare Council of Harlem.

This is the advice which Clarence S. Darrow of Chicago, introduced by Vice-Principal R. R. Taylor as a lover of humanity—a characterization which he repudiated at the outset—gave to students of Tuskegee Institute in an address here. "In these place our hope for advancement. As I see it they are your only hope. Remember that nothing comes into this world without labor and pain and sacrifice. Your worse days, I believe, are over. But there are still hard days ahead." The noted lawyer expounded all his cherished iconoclasms—his religious skepticism, his dissatisfaction with the social order, has disregard for tradition, his lack of faith in the human race. He reviewed the history of race relations between Negroes and whites, a record which he said every white mean ought to be astounded of. He made an estimate of present conditions, analyzed their cause and ventured to prosecute their outcome. "Pure Blood" is Bunk He pointed contemptuous thrust at the "noble Nordic," arraigning the whites as arrogant oppressors of disadvantaged peoples, and declaring that science knew no such thing as race. "Color," he said, "has nothing to do with race prejudice. Rather it is previous condition of servitude. It is not merely this. It is that the Negro is nearer to his slavery than the white." Mr. Darrow attack the superiority complex of the Nordic, declaring that no race possesses more intrinsic intelligence than any other and that the talk about "pure blood" is the veriest of bunk. "And on this practically every scientist in the world agrees. Every biologist, every anthropologist knows what I am taking. is true. They are all for you. Likewise, all the best literary men are side." The present generation of Negroes in America, according to Mr. Darrow, cannot hope for a full measure of the constitutional rights that theira but it is their duty to work for these rights for their children.

Malone in his suit has contended that the institution was a 50-50 proposition and that his ingenuity developed it to its present scope "When I married Mr. Malone," said his wife, "the business was well established. I had agents all over the United States, a large manufactory on Pine street, and had made money. The money which I have made, however, have come to me by itself. I have not been seeking money alone, working of the theory that through cleanliness and good appearance the Negro can attain recognition and respect. I have striven to help my people." Was Political Fissle Mr. Malone contended that his wife treated him with scorn and contempt, but his wife says: "He always seemed very mysterious and took little interest in the business. He went in for politics, got on the Republican State Committee, and had an idea he was going to be a political power. It fizzled out. 'One day with no explanation, he packed up his things and moved across the hall.'" The building and equipment of the Poro establishment is said to represent an investment of about $750,000 and Mrs. Malone admits she has made at least a million. For 1923 she paid $18,403 in Federal Lcome Tax. Public sentiment in St. Louis seems to be strongly marshalled in favor of Mrs. Malone. The first hearing of the case is set for January 20, before Judge Hartmann. It is predicted that lawyers and receivers will find some rich pickings before the case is ended. THE AGE REA Paper With A Policy Editor of The New York Age. We wish to add our, congratulations to the many already sent to the fearless New York Age. We would not allow your anniversary to pass by with out letting you know how we of the city of Yonkers feel about your great service of the last forty years. The Age is a paper with a policy, and it has ever striven in a brave and uncompromising way to carry out that policy. We have not always agreed with your method of attack, but we have always felt, even when we could not see your plans as you outlined them, that they would come out all right in the end. You are to be congratulated upon keeping the New York Age a live, new paper during all these years, when so many have started our brilliantly, only to fall by the wavetable. The wrongdoers have felt your weight of influence, and the law-abiding citizens have felt your timely help whenever you have been needed. We cannot think of New York without thinking of The Age. The name of Freed R Morris is taught in Yankees with respect and honor. We hope that you will live long to fight corruption of all kinds, and champion the cause of your people as you have done all these years. Yours for Continued Success, SIDNEY W.

Zion Connection to aid the Baptists in raising money to pay a $13,000 mortgage. Zionites have pledged $1,000 toward the mortgage fund being raised by Ebenezer Baptist Church, and a committee to conduct the campaign is headed by Ulysses J. Alsdorf.

Victims At Delhi, Col Delhi, Col.-The National Baptist Convention, Dr. L. K.

There are about a hundred sanitariums for white patients in Colorado, but none for colored. The Revs. L. G. Jordan and Wm.

The plot is admirably situated and the belief is that he sanitarium will be self-supporting from the start. 1927 is but two weeks old, yet it is here with all of its opportunities. Many of us promised to accomplish much during the year which recently passed out, but failed because we kept looking for a more favorable time. We now find ourselves in the NEW YEAR fronting conditions similar to those of the old year. Will we continue to wait for that year: when things will simply fall our way? If we do, in nifraid that such a time will pass, I will just a few days ago, I was talking with one of the city's business men, I told him that unless we establish banks of our own in various parts of the city of New York, we will never be able to do any large successful business. I, continued by saying that I believed that our city has men who represent enough to manage and control banks as do our race men of other cities. His statement was: "A banker has to grow as well as work up in a bank from a junior's position in order that he might know the banking business." (Of course, I differed with him.) As a race, we must get rid of the idea that we cannot do big things. We can do all things if only we believe: then work hard and earnestly. Not only do we need banks of our own in Harlem, but we are also in need of large businesses of various kinds. Lack of confidence and the need of vision is one of our greatest drawbacks. We have in Harlem, a number of men and women of our group who are big in themselves nobile in character, and prepared in every way to do big things.

Aside from the old fashioned objections once raised against football on the score of brutality and danger to the life and limb of the players there has been a growing sentiment in and out of college circles that an undue amount of time and interest has been devoted to the game as compared with other activities. A former member of a college team shocked the supporters of the game by his revelations of the reluctance with which he, and presumably other players, went into the field in response to the call of loyalty to their institution, while inwardly they detested the rigorous training and bruising conflict. The verbal abuse of the coaches was specified as not the least of their trials. On the other hand, a Dartmouth professor, who officiated as chairman of the football rules committee, praised football as a mighty good game. He pronounced all sport as good, and all clean sport good for those that are in it and for those that watch it. Competitive sport in the shape of a team game took on the added values that come from team play and the development of team spirit. According to this professor, football has every element that goes to make good sport. Because of its tremendous popularity, it is building stadiums and has become the chief support for the whole athletic program of college sports. Hence the tendency of newspaper writers to over-emphasize the game and the individual players. The alumni also came in for some criticism for their insistence on a winning team and a winning season. A readjustment of perspective was called for, that would view football as an incident and not the whole purpose of college life. The real values of football were rated as too big and too intangible ever to be reflected in scores. The important bearing that football has on college life was reflected in the December number of the Howard Alumnus, which was styled a football issue. The leading editorial in this issue was devoted to the Watson system, being an analysis of the football system practised by the present coach. It is claimed that this system concerns itself not only with the styles of plays, but with a definite psychology of the players. Every man is expected to show a serious attitude toward his work, no matter what his particular ability may be. He must also be amenable to the rules of training and indifferent to rumors of distrusting influences. Fear of injuries and defeat has been reduced to a minimum, it is said, through definite psychological processes. Every man must fight for his position, with no favoritism allowed because of past performances. The Watson system does not aim to develop individual stars, but to build up a rounded machine, with each man playing an equal part. As a disciplinary exercise for developing aggressiveness and concerted action, the value of this system of football may be considerable. How far it conforms to the generally accepted idea of sport is another question. The rigid training and strenuous practice required to produce a competent team of football players and keep them on edge during the season would seem to demand the highest qualities of mental and physical fortitude and endurance. The men who acquit themselves in this capacity deserve well of their college, whose fame is heralded abroad through their prowess. Another article in this football issue, calculated to encourage the adherents of the game, was entitled "What Becomes of Our Football Captains?" In it the writer sought to show that the Howard graduates who won distinction on the gridiron, beginning with the class of 1881, played a conspicuous part in public affairs thereafter. He recalled the names of well-known detectors, physicians, dentists, government officials and business men who once carried the ball for Howard. As a spartan method of mental and physical training, football undoubtedly has its merits. It has also proved a drawing card sustaining students and sustaining other forms of athletic sport. But it would be of interest to learn the candid reaction of the students who play the game for the honor of the college. SUPERVISING THE SCHOOLS. Last week the Board of Superintendents for the New York Schools was engaged in the task of passing upon the qualifications of some twenty-seven applicants for the post of district superintendents. There were seven vacancies of this character, five being for new, districts, created to fill the needs of a growing population. The new posts will carry a salary of $6,000 a year, which is not considered large for the duties, in view of the fact that these district superintendents in New York cover areas of 250,000 population, while similar officers in cities of only 50,000 receive more money. It is confidently expected that at least one of the new appointees will be a woman teacher, as many of this sex have demonstrated their capacity for filling a supervisory position, by their previous training and experience in school matters. As an index of the qualifications demanded for this position, it would be informing to glance at the service record presented in behalf of one of the applicants, Miss Louise E. Tucker, the present principal of Public School No. 90, Manhattan. Miss Tucker was graduated from Public School No. 35, Brooklyn, from the Girl's High School, Brooklyn Training School for Teachers, Adelphi College and Columbia University. Her educational experience consists of eighteen years as principal in New York City schools, with eight years as professor of education in the College of New Rochelle and four years in a like capacity at a college at Plainfield, N. J. She also gained some editorial experience on three New York dailies, having been editor of the school page of the New York Sun for four years. She has written five books on educational topics and is accorded credit for the suggestion of the classification of children according to ability. She has also made special studies in regard to the causes of truancy and its remedies. This review of the qualifications of but one of the applicants for the post of district superintendent shows the high degree of specialization in the subject of education and the wide experience demanded to fill such a position acceptably. The selection of the appointees will be announced when the members of the board have compared the qualifications of all the applicants, no definite date having yet been fixed for that announcement. In view of the strong case made for Miss Tucker, it is confidently expected that she will be chosen to fill one of the new posts. INTERSTATE COMMERCE QUIB BLING Whenever the question of railroad discriminations against passengers on account of race or color comes before the Interstate Commerce Commission, that exalted body hems and haws and hedges and finally either holds that it has no jurisdiction, or that the refusal to sell tickets or accord accommodations was not covered by the law regulating interstate commerce. Under the broad provisions of the law creating the commission, it was given jurisdiction of all matters affecting the rights and duties of rail carriers as to both passengers and freight. The refusal to furnish equal accommodations to all passengers paying the same rates certainly violates the principle of the law. The latest case in which the commission evaded its plain duty, was an effort to collect damages from the Pullman Company for a refusal to sell tickets to a Negro lawyer of Chicago, who demanded $25,000 for such refusal. On behalf of the Pullman Company it was denied that its agents or employees were ever authorized to refuse Pullman accommodation to colored passengers. The commission in its findings held that the refusal to sell tickets had not been proved and that the allegation of the complainant had not been sustained. But not content with this plausible ground for refusing relief, the commission began to quibble after its usual fashion, as follows: "The refusal alleged would not constitute unjust discrimination in violation of section 2 of the Commerce act, which prohibits charging one person more than another for a like and contemporaneous service." The Interstate Commerce Commission is a part and parcel of the national administration, its members being appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The present Republican administration cannot evade responsibility for the shifty attitude of this commission in quibbling over the many cases of violation of the rights of interstate passengers brought before it. Furthermore, it cannot endorse such a travaty of the truth as is contained in the following statement made by the commission as to the treatment of colored passengers, namely: "Throughout the South they are accommodated in the same cars with This statement was controverted by the case of the colored woman passenger who was taken from a Pullman car at Palatka, Fla. not many months ago and aned five-hundred dollars by a Florida judge for occupying the Pullman seat which she had paid for. The members of the Jupiter state Commerce Commission would probably find some quibble on which to justify this action if the case had been brought before that body. The present members of the Interstate Commerce Commission should all be removed from office summarily for gross failure to fulfill their duty in making the railroads live up to their plain obligations as common carriers and allowing them to discriminate against passengers in the Southern States. The administration that permits such a body of quibblers to retain office is equally guilty of evading its plain obligation to do justice. NEW DEVELOPMENT OF LIBERIA According to a statement made by Harvey S. Firestone, jr., son of the head of the Firestone rubber interests, who returned from a three months visit to Liberia last week, the West African republic is destined to free the American automobilists from paying further tribute to foreign rubber interests. Rubber planting in Liberia is said to have passed the experimental stage and the American concern now has more than two hundred thousand mature trees, yielding about one hundred thousand pounds of rubber monthly. Thousands of acres of land have been cleared and planting of new trees has been started, which are expected to be ready for tapping in five years. The rubber development plans the cultivation of the whole million acres embraced in the concession within the next few years. This territory, when brought under cultivation, is expected to furnish at least half of the amount needed for American consumption. It is expected that eventually three hundred thousand of the natives will be employed in this industry. Mr. Firestone asserted that Liberia is a pleasant and healthful country, contrary to the generally accepted opinion, and the work of development included the construction of a harbor at Monrovia, the capital. The reason advanced for preferring Liberia to the Philippines as the basis of this rubber development was that the United States government was opposed to the development of rubber plantations in the latter territory. The Liberian government proved more kindly disposed to the proposition, hence the ratifying of the concession by the Liberian congress, as was announced some months ago. As we had occasion to say at that time, this concession may make for the future development and progress of Liberia along commercial lines, if carried out in a just and liberal spirit. If former methods of exploiting native labor at nominal wages, under the patron system, are adopted, the outcome may not be so fortunate. The American government should be represented at Monrovia at this time by a minister of character and capacity both to protect American interests and to save Liberia from exploitation. QUESTIONS OF RACE RELATIONS. The editor of The Age recently received a letter, written in behalf of the Race Relations Department of the Toledo Council of Churches, in which it was stated that the department was desirous of knowing the practice in other cities concerning the school situation, as it relates to Negro children and teachers. These specific questions were asked, indicating the points on which definite information was desired: Are colored teachers in your city assigned to a single school building or scattered throughout different buildings in the city? Is there in those schools largely attended by Negro children, any tendency to segregate the colored and white children into separate classes? Is there the general reaction of both colored and white groups to the customs as practiced in New York? It does not require much reflection on investigation to answer the first two questions. As everybody knows who is at all acquainted with the superficial aspects of the school situation in New York, the hundreds of colored teachers in the system are assigned to the various schools in the five boroughs, wherever their services are required. The tenure of their job depends upon their ability to get, along with their principals. It is due to the school authorities to admit that the appointment and assignment of teachers is strictly upon merit and that color is ignored in these particulars. In arriving at this policy there have been instances of individual prejudice and opposition to colored teachers, but these have been exceptions to the general rule and have been discountenanced by the higher authorities. No tendency has been revealed or discovered in any of the public schools to segregate colored and white children into separate classes. Such separation is based upon other grounds than color, such as hoods in Harlem, the attendance of the district schools is largely composed of colored children, but that is due to the preponderance of the race population. The teachers in these schools are of both races. The mixing of the children of both races in the schools appears to be accepted by both groups as the settled policy of the educational authorities, based on sound reasons and democratic principles. The separate schools maintained forty years ago for colored children were run as an economic loss and the graduates from them were taken into the high and normal schools without any distinction, beyond the rating marks generally required. The only obstacle to the closing of the separate schools was the absorption of the colored teachers into the system. This was finally accomplished without much friction and the new appointees have been received on their In deploring the attitude of the junior Senator from Florida in opposing the appropriation for a girls dormitory at Howard University, the Florida Sentinel of Jacksonville said When Senator Trammell was Gov. error of Florida, his administrative record shows that he signed bills throughout his terms for appropriations to the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College at Tallahassee, which is rated as an advanced educational institution and which took high ranking under Prof. Nathan Young and is now doing exceptional scholastic work under Prof. L.R. E. Lee Here Senator Trammell had an opportunity to show his aversion to higher Negro education by refusing to sign the bills for appropriations and for making public sentiment against the state school. He did neither but actually encouraged the work. We are prone to doubt the sincerity of the Senator from Florida in this lately acquired attitude as reflected in his opposition to the appropriation for Howard University at Washington. While his actions may find applause from a certain elique in this state, we candidly believe that most Floridians regret that he took an open position as opponent to education in any form. Lieu Senator Dundan: U. Fletcher, Senator Trammell enjoys the full confidence and respect of all elements of The Blot On The South (From The New York World) With the inauguration this week of John G. Richards as Governor of South Carolina in place of Thomas G. McLeod, and with the meeting immediately afterward of the Criminal Court in Aiken, the State has an opportunity to set an example to the South in the punishment of mob violence. The case which confronts it is flagrant. The lynching of the three Lowman, one of them a woman, one of them a man, so order acquired as innocent, was peculiarly cruel. The evidence of the identity of some members of the mob is clear. This evidence is, in form to go before the Grand Jury. The hoodlums, the Negro-baiters, the politicians of the Cole Blease type, are asking, "What are you going to do about it?" If there are no indictments the conclusion will be clear that in parts of South Carolina the mob is stronger than the law. The eyes of the South should be upon Aiken and Columbia. There is no defense for lynching to which an American State can give a moment's tenure. Secondly, the nineteenth century. The old excuse of the "usual crime" has always been simply bunk. There were 3,224 recorded lynchings in the United States during the thirty year period ending in 1918. Less than one-fifth of the colored men lynched were even accused of the "usual crime". This roster of lynchings actually included fifty colored women. The motives for lynching vary. But there can be little doubt that the principal motive in the 4,000 lynchings which are estimated to have occurred in the South since reconstruction is the desire of ignorant and savage white men to strike terror into a surpassive race struggling rise. Self-assertive, these decide that a lynching "will take it out of them". That is the conclusion of careful students. Gov. Dorset of Georgia told a conference which he called in 1921, when the State in two years had witnessed 135 cases of lynching or outrageous assault. In some counties the Negro is being driven out as though he were a wild beast. In others he is being held as a slave. In one two of the 135 cases cited is the "usual crime" involved.

With its immense population of various races from all over the world, New York has too many problems relating to the assimilation of the foreign born and unassimilated races, to waste any time over the question of the Negro child, who is at once native to the soil and assimilable to his environment. Those who object to the broad democracy of the New York school system, and it has its faults, have the privilege of sending their children to private institutions, where they may escape contact with much that is harmful and destructive to the best sort of home training. And these objectors to the indiscriminate mingling of the public schools are found among both races. At that, the public school system of New York is a most effective instrumentality in creating good citizenship and teaching the tenets of real democracy. Florida, and we are sure that he wishes a continuance of this confidence and respec, but unless he steers clear of political footballs like that he has jerks kicked, the feeling will spread that he enters to the kind of demagogy that has brought both Mississippi and South Carolina into disrepute. Perhaps the only way in which Southern representatives can demonstrate their Congressional biase is by opposing appropriations for Howard University. That is their touchstone of statesmanship or buncombe. Pointing to a conflict between a ruling of the highway commission and the statute law of South Carolina, the Asheville Enterprise said; The South Carolina Highway Commission recently handed down a ruling to the effect that Negroes may ride in buses operated in the State without discrimination and share the same privileges of white people. As is well known, there is enacted into the statutes of South Carolina one provision known as the Jim Crow law, forbidding that Negroes may occupy the railroads and the railroads of that. State are required to provide separate coaches for Negroes. That rule is clearly in conflict with The Western States have long since suppressed lynching, and there is no reason why the South cannot, do as well. In fact it has already shown what it can do. In 1922 there were sixty-one lynchings, a normal number. But that year the agitation for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill reached its height, while the South took alarm also at the continued northward migration of Negroes. The number of lynchings declined to twenty-eight in 1923 and sixteen in 1924; it remained at sixteen in 1925. This was due to the pressure of public opinion and the wide effect of the repressive measures of such Governors as Dorsey of Georgia and Morrison of North Carolina. Now the totals show a tendency to rise; but what the South has done once it can do again. The governor who uses the hose or, if necessary, the rainy-pounty prosecutors who will obtain indictments, and Governors who will spur on the local officers. Georgia had just one indictment to 400 lynchings before Gov. Dorsey entered office, but the year 1922 saw twenty-two mob participants indicted and four sent to the penitentiary. Behind the local officers should stand an increasingly aggressive public opinion. The press, represented by such newspapers as the Columbia State, the Birmingham Age-Herald, the Charlotte Observer and the Atlanta Constitution, has given far more attention to lynching in the last few years than before. Southern denominations, supported by the Federal Council of Churches, have begun a vigorous campaign. County committees on race relations and even county leagues for law enforcement have increased raniily. Lynching is to a large extent an evil concentrated in a small number of backward communities. Onuchit Parish in Louisiana is credited with nineteen lynchings in eight-four years. Caddo Parish with eighteen Marion County in Florida with sixteen. Flinds County in Mississippi with nine. An impressive number of counties even Georgia and Mississippi have never had a single lynching. A vigorous State opinion can make the delinquency counties ashamed of themselves. It is the verdict of The World's special investigator at Aiken that it will be many years before that community, pilored as it is, permits another lynching.

O long may it continue its great work. the principle of the new crow law, and imposed upon before the Supreme Court. The court quarterly, takes into account legal significance of the crow law of the crow law of the public conservation of our local local, inaugurate Independent province, it will be safe and safe, but dominated by Blankenship it has regulated conversions. In other words, travelers of dark completion are required to avoid bushes if they will not avoid trouble. But what accounted for ruling by the highway commission? A Jacksonville correspondent in the St. Luke Mobil, in answering the question "How do Negroes ride in the South" said among other things: Railroads are not charities. They are moody makers. Therefore, the law of supply and demand is helping the "Jim crow" situation: more than resolutions and protests. First, there are buses, there are becoming saloon bus lines, owned and operated by Negroes for Negroes. In many sections. There is one line from Jacksonville to Miami, Fl., and there are no finer buses running. Then, Negroes are owning cars that take them where they want to go. Anywhere within 200 miles is merely like stepping out in the back yard. Hundreds like their cars going longer distances. They are boating the white man at his own game. The "Jim crow" car was made to humiliate the better class of Negroes as well as to separate the humber class; and don't forget that point. The worst States to secure first class accommodation were declared to be Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma. And yet the railroads in these States exact first class fare, a palpable fraud upon the colored passenger, sanctioned by law. Speaking of flappers, If the genius has not been succeeded by a newer type of femininity, Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson in her column, "As in a Looking Glass" printed in the Washington Eagle, had the following tolerant comment: I am not one to dey the so called type; the gayness of nations and the joy of life; the lovely iridescent bubbles that rise and glint on glamour their rainbow beauty on the joy of family wash. But among the So. Sl. families of 1920's garnered by Prisk J. Whitach for the New York Times, appears the following, by Richard Henderson: "A flapper is like a bengalow, painted in front, shingled in the rear, and nothing in the attic." Even at that we think that this quotation did the flapper an infiltration, for her attic must have harbored a distorted conception of the technique adapted to extort masculine admiration and incidentally excite the envy of her sisters. In a somewhat pessimistic review of the economic situation as it affects the Negro, the Chicago Whip extracted the following glimmer of hope: At the outlook of the present year there is one hopeful and stimulating sign and that is that the mass intelligence and prosperity of the black people have increased in some small degrees. We might not evince any tremendous and obvious increase in our wealth secured, but we are able to show on the balance sheet that the race as a whole is better off financially than over before in its history, and that is the ultimate foundation upon which all true prosperity must rest. Black people are accumulating property in many instances on a souder basis than ever before investing their money in more diversified interests than ever in the history of the black people are investing wisely and saving consistently; they are acquiring an education in more thoroughly distributed way; they are creating enterprises which give success and sustenance to black boys and girls in ever increasing numbers; and while it is an admitted fact that this claim cannot be made applicable to all black people nor all communities, we still believe that the claim of improvement is supported by the preponderance of facts and circumstances which surround the case of the black people. That is not a bad foundation upon which to build for material progress in the near future. The obstacles in the path, due to race prejudice, should prove incentive to greater efforts to surmount them. Discussing the effect of the district system as it relates to the interests of the connection the Philadelphia Christian Recorder, published by the A. M. E. Church, said. The bishops now are almost powerless to do constructive work outside of their district. But because of the district idea, almost any bishop can block a connectional program by saying "My district won't do anything." And we have had sad illustrations of this. Perhaps the addestest illustration of how our bishops have been deconnectionalized is found in the way they meet criticism. Every one knows that in "his district" in his little principality the bishop's word is law; his lightest nod is observed, his puts up whom he chooses and dehonors whom he will. Men try even to anticipate his thoughts, and often brand as traitors to "the administration" even the milestid of critics. No king ever ruled with more complete obedience than does an A. M. E. Bishop today in his district so far as his preachers are concerned. While the bishop has been building up a district influence, he has become weaker in other districts. Indeed there have been influenza to discredit him in other districts, and in the past two years a bombardment of the office of a bishop has been so great as to discredit the bishop's connectional prestige considerably. The need of building up a great connectional spirit and a great connectional organization, with the fifteen districts as loyal working parts, was urged as essential to a united program for churches. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK What was cisterned as one of the most peaceful and harmonious trustee elections ever held in Bridge Street Church, Brooklyn; took place on Monday evening, January 3 of which time Anthony T Barnes, James B. Bruce and Noah Bluford were re-elected for a term of three years. All are popular with the rank and file of the church. Inasmuch as the church decrees that twice the number of candidates must be nominated, Dr. Tyrion nominated three well known and eminent men to oppose the others, so in case the members wanted to make a change high class men have been chosen. Among those named were Clerestor Eason, a steward of the church, who holds a responsible position with the Title Guarantee and Trust Company; Quintin Vaughan, a steward, and a secretary of the Carleton Avenues Branch of the V. M. C. A.; and Dr. Philip Cooley Robinson, dentist. First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock service, Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the text, "In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Racialel weeping for her children and would not be comforted, because they are not." St. Matthew 2:18. Theme: "The Herod Spirit In the World of Humanity Today." Pastor Bolden said: "Read the life of Herod the Great; it is interesting and shocking. Such is a wicked ruler as he would be in the New Testation if it had not been for his wicked attempt to kill the Baby our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel. And in order to do so he slaughtered the innocent Jewish boys of a certain age. But God our Heavenly Father had provided a way of escape for this Baby, our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel, and John the Baptist, his forerunner and, hereafter, John, was secreted by his mother, Elizabeth, in the words, Jesus the Christ was husband down among the dark mysterious peoples of Egypt. Egypt—that many centuries ago produced a leader, Moses, who becomes Israel's Saviour, and leads them out of bondage and from under oppressive task masters and cruel kings now receives and hides for a jime the Eternal King of Israel and the Saviour of the world. At governmental life and all government can be interpreted as the light of symbols, tokens and individuals also. I think I have a right-to-interpret life in the light of symbols because the Master, our Lord Jesus Christ the Emanueller, did so. Note the symbolism of the following parables stories of human life and artistry. The Five Wise and Five Foolish Virgin's parable; in the Marriage Supper of the Second Advent of our Lord the Emmanuel. Another parable is The Sower, that human experience of a farmer, Jesus used as a symbol. Then the parable of a spirit planted in the mind of humanity where the Kingdom of God has been manifested in the conscious for, the purpose of destroying the growth and development of this God Kingdom. According to some historical writers, Herod was neither Jew, Greek or Roman. He was a barbarian usurper. He was a murderer of a vile type. He killed members of his family whom he thought might be in his way as regards the security of his throne and his power. He had no sense of honor or interest as regards motherhood womanhood or the brotherhood of men. Though a king of the Jews he was subservient to Caesar, the Emperor of Rome. Being an genius, and living in constant fear, he was unteasy when he had the wise men proclaim that they had come to worship "Him that was born King of the Jews." All of the various religious cults that were manifested in the world at the time of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel are in the world today and the personification of these cults and evil forces may be clearly traced to certain leaders of religious scientific, educational and spiritual groups. The spirit of Jesus the great new seekers is the spirit of the Holy Child Jesus and through many of the groups that same spirit skills help the children and youth of the earth and righteous living. Murder, divorcements, corrupt and demoralizing social practises and denial of the power of the Holy Spirit to create the desire for expressing high ideals in the life of individuals and the community, is a part of this wicked one historical, incarnation. Let us use the Child Jesus Christ, the Limmauer to the deep the consciousness so that in Him we our consciousness so that in Him we forth, the True know that has the right to rule from the home of human impulses and emotions and in the affairs of men and nations. Let Jesus out Lord the Limmauer set on the throne of your life. Don't seek arguments and contests. Avoid evil thoughts, actions and companions. And be souls brighters of God.

Taking the text, Exodus 32, 26, "Who is on the Lord's Side" the pastor appealed for decision for a Christian way of conduct as opposed to the easy-going descent into sin. We must make God's standards our way of life declared the speaker, "or we are later and undone." The children's tale told of the continent of Europe, with a description of its countries and its famous cathedrals. The next Sunday's children's talk will be on "South America." At the evening hour, the Petersburg Welfare Auxiliary held their second annual sermon. A splendid program was presented, with Mrs. Esselle Milen, president and Mrs. Mary D. James, mistress of ceremonies. A synopsis of the order was given Mrs. Martha Freeman, financial secretary, and a solo rendered by Miss Muriel Johnson. The sermon by the pastor dealt with the theme "How God loves the World." based upon John 3:10-17.

Church "See to it that nobody gets your place in the Kingdom," cautioned Dr Frederick A. Cullen, pastor of Salem Church, in his sermon Sunday morning. As a revival message, Dr Cullen used for an illustration, Babylon and pointed out some of the chief causes that brought about the downfall of that nation. How revelary and debauchery can work their deadly effects, undermining the moral and spiritual structure of a nation or individual, and ultimately harm its complete ruination, he chief wrote, out in his WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH The Lyceum meetings have all been in keeping with the revival during this month.

The pastor was aided in his talk by a life-size black-board drawing of a man, measured off in a way to show the various food elements that compose his body. The pastor displayed a second blackboard drawing which served to explain the required daily intake of food for the average man. The pastor had on the platform also a large third chart, which he said was prepared by the U. S. Government at Washington, D. C., which chart showed in colors and measurements the food values of the animal and the human body, and made it strong argument and plea in behalf of a vegetarian diet. Although the weather was inclement, the attendance was good in all three major services of the day. The program of the day began with a Bible study at eight o'clock in the morning. It ended at ten o'clock the day before, then clashed in the basement to the thirty-five members of the senior choir Sunday afternoon at four o'clock the Lyceum presented a fine 'musical and literary program. The offerings for the two days totaled more than $400. Sunday nights Pastor Strachan is going to his congregation a series lectures on the theme of "The Signs Of Our Times." The special topic for last Sunday night was, "Universal Cry For Bread." During the course of his remarks the pastor said: "Bread is said to be the staff of life that is, we depend so much upon it as a necessary requirement for our meals. In making millions on the opposite side of globe regard bread as primary, and other articles of food as secondary. "Bread is not a food that grows; we have to make or prepare it. The art of baking bread is a very old one, and it is probable that our first parents, Adam and Eve, made bread. The modern discoverer has found bread in the ancient dwelling places of man. They have also unearthed an ancient ground the grain, the tools for baking and the artisans who made the bread. The ancient Egyptians brought the baking of bread up to a highly perfected art. "When the Lord sought to particularly bless the Israelites in the wilderness he rained from heaven an abundance of grain from which they made a delightful bread. But when the Lord proposes to punish His children for their errors, He takes away from them their grain fields, and breads them drought and famine. Ever since the artisan in some corner of the earth; and the Egypt that has, comes to the relief of the Carraan that has not. "War times always precipitate a food crisis; but one has been known to appear in times of comparative peace. America is not at war with any nation today, nevertheless, she is threatened with a serious and certain challenge. I am what I set down, and reckon to be the chief contributing cause. First, a general exodus from the famn and rural sections. This state of affairs thins out the ranks of the producers, and multiplies the army of the consumers. The wastes and pests and crop destroyers must also be reckoned with. "The U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington D. C. realizing the grave possibilities of such a thing, is constantly making research and development might be a satisfactory substitute for flour bread, should the country be stricken with a wheat famine. "At our own doors here in this great city the distress is appalling. Our charitable organizations spend large sums annually, but the problem grows bigger each year. If the American machine ever breaks down, what will the starving world around us do? "Nothing so completely dethrones reason and prostrates a nation as hunger. "In all the ages of the past, when the high tide of wickedness rose to a height where it broke in an overwhelming tide, the Lord always broke the staff of life, and plunged the earth into the wildest scenes of lamentation. "I have come to tell you tonight that I believe that tide has already reached the brim, and you must overcome it with mountaintops of crime inviting the wrath of Jehovah God. And when He dares to pour it out upon our shelterless heads a worldwide famine will be seen." Concord Baptist Church Rev. J. B. Adams preached to a large audience at the morning service at Concord Baptist Church, giving a message of faith. The junior choir sang very enjoyable. Sunday school was well attended. In evening the assistant pastor, C. L. Franklin, spoke on the subject, "The Context of Life." Sunday afternoon January 23, at 3 o'clock. Rev T, S. Harten will speak in the interest of the C.E. Society and his choir will sigh. "On BRIDGE STREET A. M. E. CHURCH, BROOKLYN ADOPTS CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM FOR 1927 What was chased the most progressive sep in the history of Bridge Street A, M. E. Church, of which Dr. Edward E Tyler is the past p., was taken at a church conference in the church, on Monday evening, January 10. At this time a constructive program was submitted by the officers of the church. They had been empowered to so do at a church conference held recently.

The choir received the co-operation of Miss M. C. Pennibacker. Among the visitors were Arthur Schomburg, who contributed to the Building Fund; Mrs. Cora Horne presented Mrs. Bethune.

In Peterson, former deacon of the church, was buried Sunday afternoon; the pastor officiating. Siloam Presbyterian Church At the morning hour at Siloam Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, spoke on what Christianity aints to do, taking his text from Acts 26:18 The pastor brought out that Christianity opens the eyes, gives light that we may see the bigness of the universe, the reality of things, that God is the Maker of the earth, grow by giving life by keeping. Mrs. J. F Dunn, 61 Jiving place was received into membership. The Bible School met at 1:15 p.m. In spite of the weather there was a large attendance.

Albert Johnson, presiding bishop of the Second Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church, filled the pulpit Sunday morning, January 16. He is one of the outstanding race characters that the pastor, Dr. Edward F. Tyler, through the officials of the church, plans to present to the church during this conference year. Bishop Johnson based his remarks on the parable of the ten talents, St. Matthew 25:14:30. He said that all mankind had been made by God and there is no excuse for us making a failure. While we may have gifts of race powers along intellectual and other lines, none surpasses the gift of the soul, with its rare endowments of memory, imagination and other faculties, all of which are subject to divine influences.

HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Fish Is A Good Food What shall we have for dinner today? This is a question which confronts many women day in and day out—to provide the family with nourishing food and yet to give them the variety which is needed to stimulate the appetite. Then, of course, there is the question of not exceeding the budget allotted for food. Fish is a very good thing to have once or twice a week. It is one of the cheapest of nourishing foods and in addition fish contains fat which the body needs for energy. Fish is also quite an easily digested food. Hence, it will be seen that fish is a good source of dinner now and then. It affords a change from meat and often may be purchased for less. It has good food value, and furthermore, may be eaten in sufficient quantity to give plenty of nourishment without causing one to put on excess weight.

Harmony at this meeting was the more remarkable, because only two weeks before James Keenan had precipitated a break in the ranks of the League by offering the resignation of his club, the Lincoln Giants. This action might have resulted in the breaking up of organized baseball in the East had it not been for the work of Alexander Pompez, owner of the Cuban Star. Mr. Pompez appointed himself as arbiter of the difference between Mr Keenan and the other Commissioners, and through his diplomacy made both sides see the need of adjusting their differences for the good of the game. So successful was Mr. Pompez in his efforts that the questions at issue were not only adjusted, but friendship between Mr Keenan and Nat Strong was also reestablished. Messrs Keenan and Strong were traveling companions and stopped together at the same hotel in Detroit.

Disputes among the Commissioners and legal questions arising will be settled by Mr. Nutter. His selection is expected to bring about a more harmonious relationship among the Commissioners. Another important step taken at the meeting was increasing the number of games played during the season to 120, and dividing of the season into two halves. The winner of each half is to play a series of seven games for the championship, prior to the world series between the East and West. Though the meeting of the National Negro Baseball League (the western organization) was not as harmonious as that of the East, the joint meeting was one of good fellowship and resulted in closer ties of friendship between the two organizations. Since the joint meeting a general feeling of optimism prevails among baseball men, where before the outlook for 1927 was discouraging Charges That Schools Of The C. I. A. A. Permit High School And Graded School Students To Play On Same Teams With College Students, Producing Confusion of Standards Washington, D. C.—The Board of Athletic Control of Howard University at a meeting held January 10 authorized Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the Board, to issue the following statement with reference to the reports of one kind or another which have recently appeared in the public press undertaking to chronicle the attitude of Howard University with reference to the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, many of these statements being regarded by the Board of Athletic Control as being of a character calling for contradiction and comment. In his statement Doctor Davis says have been circulated, we wish to make clear, first, that Howard does deduct from the playing terms of her athletes the years they have previously spent elsewhere as college players but does not and will not so deduce the years already spent as high school or graded school players; and second, that Howard does not permit a student transferring from an amphitheatre to participate in inter-collegiate athletics until one year has elapsed since his participation at his former college, but Howard does permit and will permit any student fresh from graduation from high school or preparatory, school to take part in inter-collegiate competition, undr the Confusion of Standard "The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, although calling itself intercollegiate, has a number of high school students playing on the same teams with college students. Recently it even had graded school students playing on its teams. This condition probably exists still. Howard's withdrawal was due to this confusion of standards in the organization. For the C. I. A. insisted upon imposing this anomaly upon us, who have no preparatory students, by voting that a preparatory student upon graduating from, high school and entering college at Howard should have deducted from his approaching term as a college player the years he had already played in the Association as a high school or graded school player. "Howard objected to this Later "Howard objected to this Later Howard generously agreed to accept the Association's proposal, provided that one year—the first—of the students' participation should not be deducted or counted in any way. This was agreed to by a plenipotentiary committee of the Association. But promptly the Association broke faith and protested a Howard Player, who had played one year and only one as a preparatory student in a C. L. A institution and declared forfeited the games in which this player had appeared. "Howard then withdrew from the C. L. A. A, expressing her attitude as follows. Howard announces withdrawal from the C. L. A A. We regret that we are forced to this step by the impossibility of reconciling collegiate and high school standards in the Association, and hope that our pleasant relations with the member institutions may continue. The Boycott Against Howard "The C.I.V. A rudely replied that no member institution would play Howard as long as she remained out. One institution even violated a contract already inade, signed, and delivered. This action instead of weakening, really strengthened Howard's schedule, for more intimate athletic relations were maintained or established with such great institutions as Atlanta, Fisk Lincoln, Morehouse, Morgan, West Virginia, and Wilberforce. Meanwhile there was organized the American collegiate Athletic Association, which includes these and many other institutions and is national and collegiate in character.

Permit High School To Play On Same Teams With Being Confusion of Standards have been circulated, we wish to make clear, first, that Howard does deduct from the playing terms of her athletics the years they have previously spent elsewhere as college players, but does not and will not so deduct the years already spent as high school or graded school players; and, second, that Howard does not permit a student transferring from amphitheatre to participate in inter-collegiate athletics until one year has elapsed since his participation at his former college, but Howard does permit and will permit any student fresh from graduation from high school or preparatory, school to take part in inter-collegiate competition, undr the rules of the Howard Faculty and in harmony with the standards of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which controls the athletic policies of the best colleges in the United States. Professional Students Barred "Moreover, beginning with Autumn, 1928, no student in any of the Howard professional schools will be eligible to participate in intercollegiate athletic competition. Also beginning with Autumn, 1928, not only those who do earn their letters but also those who do not earn them will be excluded from membership on a team in more than four academic years. These are much severer standards than those of the C I A A. This legislation was passed more than two years ago. "Since withdrawing from the C I A A A, Howard has been willing to play its member institutions.

The defeat of the Elijah D Clark, Junior High School, which had held the championship or the past four years, came as a big upset to the followers of the met The Harlem boys won five individual championships and scored 31 points. Another boy from this school broke into the scholastic hall of fame by getting a new record in the 50-yard dash. He is Milton Summers the 39 old son of Mr and Mrs George Summers, of 204 West 143rd street, young Summers has been active in athletics since he was a pupal at 12 two years ago, and so impressed his fellow students that they nicknamed him "Nurmur," after the famous long distance runner from Finland. Summers, who is in the 90 pound class, ran the 50-yard race in the fast time of 6 3-5 seconds, clipping a fifth of a second from the old mark. He now ranks with Marion Miller, who set a new record in the 70-yard dash last year. Miller was winner of the 70-yard dash again Saturday, covering the distance in 8 1-5 seconds. In addition to the running of Summers and Miller, the work of the relay teams from the Frederick Douglass School was featured. Two unlimited weight teams were entered in the 800-yard relay and both were victorious, winning first and second place. The 440-yard races (90 and 120 pound class) were also won by the Harlem boys. Members of these teams are 880 yard teams—Carl Marques, John Williams, Carl Madson, and George Buckley William Merrill, William Harvey, William Pond and William Austman, William Williams Frank Miller and Alexander Davis, Codrington, Carley Samuel and Lambden. The boys of the Frederick Douglass High were coached and directed by Adolph Hodge, who is receiving many congratulations for his work in developing the relay teams.

Trustees were named for the 1927 term. The sudden death of Eugene Mars Martin the late director, who had succeeded his father, David I.

Mr. Martin's place as head of the room department of the school was filled by placing Andrew Fletcher, Rosemond on the faculty and naming him to the vacancy. Salem M. E. Church Choir Sang Gaul's "Holy City" In Town Hall Auditorium Incapacitated by rheumatic twinges that made navigation difficult this reviewer had to pass over several-musical events during the first week of the new year. The choir of Salem M F Church, the Rev. Frederick A Cullen, pastor; Professor Arthur Rudolph Grant, organist-choirmaster, went down to the Town Hall auditorium. West 43rd street, on Wednesday night December 29, and sang Alfred R Gaul's sacred cantata, "The Holy City." For this occasion, Mr. Grant had secured the services of E. Aldana Jackson, organist at St Marka' M. E Church, at the organ, with Miss Irene Bowen' at the piano. There was also an orchestra, but the program gives no idea of its personnel. Mr. Grant, of course, occupied the conductor's stand. The choir's regular solo quartet, composed of Mrs. Jennie Gowins, soprano; Mrs Sadie McGill-Greenedge, contralto; George Simmons, tenor; and Junius Williams basso, was used by the director for all the solo work, with one exception. In that impressive number just before the final chorus, in which a female chorus chants, "List, the Cherubic Host," with a soprano obligato, the service of a guest soloist was required for the baritone solo, "I heard the voice of harpers," as Mr. Williams' voice is of the basso profundo quality with a range in keeping. J. Ivory Johnson a young baritone, filled this position. Preceding the cantata, Mr Grant presented a mixed progra mof Spirituals and classic solos. Mrs. McGill Greenadge sang McFayden's "Inter Nos, and the guest artist, Mr. Johnson sang the "Tooreador's Song" from Bisset's "Carmen" The Spirituals included Dett's "Weeping Mary", Mrs. Gowins, solost; "Roll, Jordan, Roll", Miss Ruth Green, solost; "Po Mourner", Mrs. David, solost; "The Wonderful Counsellor, Mr Simmons, solost, Reen allistenon" Mr. Simmons, solost, with female and male quartets—Mrs. Sullivan, Mrs. S Jones, Mrs. White' Miss Purnello, Messer, Ware, Reynolds, Bishop and Baker, "Heaven," Mrs. Gowins, solost in the cantata, the Herald-Tribune's reviewer next day commented as follows. "The ensemble of the voices was excellent, the smooth sonority native to the race was richly evident and able disciplined by the leader. Rudolf Grant.

W." "The object-and aim of all organizations is to improve the conditions of its members financially, socially, educationally and morally. It may be summited up in one phrase: To raise the economic conditions of human beings." This is the first paragraph of an instructive article in the -International Musician for December, under the title, "Fundamentals of Organizations," written by Harry E. Brenton, treasurer of 802. One wonders how many Harlem members have read it. We wish that every N. A. M. A. would read it to the betterment of that organization. Just another quotation: "Most of us are inclined to look askance at any attempt of friend or foe to educate us. Organizations are exactly what the musicians are, and can be made exactly what we may please to make them—active or slugged, keen or dull, narrow or broad-guaged, just as the members are, intelligent or otherwise. It does not lie wholly with the officers, they can only do just so much as the membership will support and should the membership fail to support, who is to blame, the officers? No, the membership." N. A. M. A. INSTALLATION On Friday afternoon, January 14, with a fairly good attendance, the fol- lowing officers were installed to serve the N. A. M. A. for 1927: J. A. Thompson, president, W. Kyer ("Peaches") vice-president William William Robinson, recording secretary; A. Walker, financial secretary; J. W. Dias, treasurer; W. Hinson, sergeant- at-arms; S. W. Thompson, corres- ponding secretary. Board of Examiners—W Kyer, Jesse Young, G. Uttendt, E. L. Cruzmull, Lco Julian, A. Walker, A. Scott. Booking Committee—V. Andrade, A. J. Thompson, William Robinson. Board of Directors—W. Tales, Leo Julian A. Boyd, L. H. Thompson Let us hope that the administration will harmoniously together, putting aside petty personal grievances, and get results to remove the chaotic conditions which have existed for sometime, and place the N. A. M. A. to the premier positions, to which it is justly entitled, of its kind in the good U. S. A. Someone has said that speech was made to conceal one's thoughts. Is this always right? Does every one believe it? A chauffeur tells a fare: "I can't wait for you; I have another call to make." Rephes the fare: "Oh, I'll soon be back; I'm just going up a flight," and up he goes to have a word with his friend. Back down he comes in a moment to find the taxi gone, and it was his solo saxophone The chauffeur and cab are unknown—the fare was Wesley Johnson The "Bearcats" who opened the Sailoy and continued to be a big attraction, will close their engagement shortly, and it is rumored that Fowler and his orchestra will take their place. Rumor has it that dissension among the "Bearcats" is responsible for the change. WHY? OH! WHY?

Ala—In a fast game of basketball, the Talladega quintet won its initial home game by a six-point margin on January 14th, showing a complete reversal of the form shown in Atlanta the previous week and downing Alabama State, 17 to 11. The game was interesting and thrilling from start to finish. The outstanding feature was the airtight guarding of Robinson and Miller, stellar guards of the Crimson Tornado. Time after time they stopped the rallies of the Alabama State Backeteers, whose forwards were able between them to score only one goal from the floor during the entire game. The dribbling of Carey piercing the Alabama defense was a potent factor in Talladega's victory. While Routt and Garner starred for Alabama.

But Talladega came back strong in the second half, and despite an injury to their star guard, Robinson, piled up 16 points the game ending 24 to 22.

"Ditcher" writes in "Captain$:"—"Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy water-spout$, such may well be the exclamations of Sir Bassil Blacket, (the Member of Finance), when in the privacy of his closest, he regards the upheaval caused by his passionate defence of the controversial recommendations of the Currency Commission. It is the popular belief that he himself was the parent of those recommendations that he himself had long before the commission was appointed, been fully convinced that the financial salvation for India was impossible without the rupee being at 18 d. (Papee) and without the creation of a Reserve Bank. This would account for his tigerish assault on those critics who attack his gospel and who, like false prophets they are, predict the insolvency of the root and ruin of the industrialist if it is adopted. "Last week, Sir Basil Blackett lectured long to a small audience in the Convocation hall of the Delho University on the report of The Currency Commission. It was evident from the start that the Finance Member was sore at heart, that he had still to justify the 18 d. ratio which the commission had accepted as "Fait accompli". He shouted once more with thumping emphasis that the ratio was a dead issue and without wishing to be controversial, devoted nearly half his lecture to controvert arguments of Sir Purshotam Thakordas. It was skillful petitio-princii it obviously intended to act as a smoke screen. Hands are held up in horror if any one just refer to the interests of British manufacturers in connection with the question of the ratio and protests are made at the tendency of humanity in general and Indian humanity in particular to impute motives even to such wise and fearseeing benefactors as the Government of India!! Art and Indian Nationalism Indian Art has of late become the focus of much discussion, and critics are not wanting to take up this long neglected subject and tackle it in its various aspects so that the supremely important culture of Art may be reinstated in the new scheme of Indian Nationalism and may contribute its share of symphony to the song of coming Renaissance. This, indeed is a fact which may justly be considered as the happy augury of the spirit of the times, the spirit of the trends and tendencies that are flowing under-current in the soul of the nation, waiting for manifestations when they find a proper channel. Not a long stretch of imagination is necessary to understand, if we have a reasonable amount of sympathy, the inherent kinship which allies art with nationalism, both being interdependent phases in the life of a nation aspiring to build up a synthesis of cultures in a well-balanced state for the service of humanity. The eminent French savant Romain Rolland, remarks "Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting and music are destroyers or flourish." If art is the mirror on which do reflect the inner feelings and aspirations of a nation, we have then every reason to hope to hope for a glorious future for India, in as much as our art has developed. In recent times tendencies that have the innate virtue of sublimating PAGE SEVEN the racial genius of determining a high standard of national outlook and co- folding a vast vista of self expression through mediums of unbeding varieties; for this is an art which, as all true art should, has its springs deep in the in- most sanctuary of the soul, instead of in the empty exterior of the senses appearance which is, the stock-in-trade of western artists. India's Economic Subjugations Mr. T. G. Goswami presiding, over a meeting at Calcutta said in the course of a speech: "Our fight with the foreign bureaucracy (Different Departments of the Government of India where there is no co-ordination) is not political only. During the three years that I spent in the Legislative Assembly, I was increasingly convinced that while the Foreign Government that is ruling in this land are making up their minds to part with political powers, they are the same time conspiring to complete the economic subjection of India. They are doing it in various ways. The Currency Commission was set up merely to furnish an apology for 'official' view to sanction a pre-determined policy of the Government with regard to the exchange and to record a 'Fit accompli- Drain on India's Wealth Since 1893 the standard currency has been provided for India has been overvalued for purposes of foreign exchange beyond its intrinsic bullion value. This has been deterrimental to India for the simple reason among others that the export trade in India is greater than the import trade. It is impossible for me, in the course of a public lecture to go into the details of calculations. Many hundreds of millions of Sterlings have been given as bounties to foreign industries selling their products in the Indian markets. Railways and General Finance Concluding Mr. Goowani said that it is our business to protest very strongly against the executive high-handedness. There, are grave dangers ahead. I anticipate serious danger in the separation of Railway Finance from the General Finance. I do not want to get Swaral (Independence) with a mortgaged India. I hope that Bengal, politically conscious that she is, will not lose sight of this great economic question and let us also remember that the builders of the economic empires are the architects of our ruin. Some Reflections on Indian Aspects At the annual meeting of The Passengers and Traffic Relief Association, Bombay, Mr. Lalji Naranji deplored the inhuman treatment meted out to third-class passengers. This is a question which recurs annually like a recurring decimal. One is left to conjecture whether railways exist for the benefit of the public or the public travel for the profits of the company. Undoubtedly, in a capitalistic-ridden country, backed by a stern and unbending autocracy, fat profits are the only ideals, the bloated capitalists banker—of course, comfort there is, in plenty, luxury trains and so forth, for the purse-proud capitalists, to with, the first-class passenger and his aspiring junior, the second class traveler—tre third class cattle may be left to stew in their own juice. "So when your principal or any one else asks Government for Money, they are in effect, asking for money from the tax-payers of the Presidency", said Sir Leslie Wilson, the Governor of Bombay the other day to the students of the Sydenham College of Commerce.

The foregoing dialogue is over the telephone and; it is between one of the prize of Pullman workers, known as extra porters, and the chief "sign-out" man at the Pullman Mott Haven Yards in New York. In employing the telephone, instead of reporting in person, the extra porter kills two birds with a single shot; he savels a trip to the yards, in the event of no work, and incidentally carfs as well. While this mode of reporting for service by telephone is by no means encouraged among the extra porters, it is frequently used by them. The person addressed as "Dave," when correctly tilted, is David Rowland, assignment clerk. His job consists of keeping record of all Pullman cars that arrive and depart from Mott Haven Yards and assigning porters for the service which each of these cars provide. The latter part of his job is the more specific. It is in this role that he earns the reputation among the porters of being the best-known and best clerk in the Pullman service. To indulge in superlatives is writing of a system which is as extensive as the Pullman service, especially when the person spoken of is marely a clerk, suggests personal deduction. But that is not so in this case. The superlative observation made here regarding this employee is the consensus of opinion, not only among, porters in the New York district, but among porters from other districts in the Pullman system as well. "Dave" is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from the extremity of Florida to the Southern borders of Canada; wherever Fullman care go in numbers there will be met some porter who knows him. And among these porters very few will be found who will speak of him kindly. Now there must be some trivial in personality to which this universal feeling of regard can be described. Not all porters, despite the many complimentary things which are said of them, and which in most instances are deserving, are models of amity. Some of them are extremely hard to get along with, whether the relation is that of supervision, clerk or fellow worker. But here is a clerk, who comes nearest the ideal of all porters than any other employee in the Fullman service. The reason may be attributed to these virtues: "Dave" possesses features of character which are cardinal in dealing with a group of workers so diversified in temperament as Fullman porters. They are a philosophical nature and a desire to be fair, two things which are sadly lacking in some men whose positions are much higher than his. In exercising these traits, he gets-results of a more profitable sort than any iron heel supervision could energize. One of his philosophies is never to get angry while the other fellow is in that mood; in fact, very few have ever seen him in anger. Yet there are times when nothing but complete mastery of feelings could subdue the provocation. This habit of letting the other fellow do the talking is responsible in a large measure for his popularity among the porters. For after one has gotten through talking, he usually cools off. But he must first have that talk. These galefests are usually the reactions from some trip on which "Dave has assigned him. Perhaps it is to a car going "dead-head," and no porter wants to go in this class of service. There are times when cars have to be moved this way, and when they are, porters must be assigned to them. Here is a sample of what on hears on the road: "Dave tricked me on this car. If I had known the trip was going to be for three days, I wouldn't have taken it. You just wait until I get back to New York, I'll tell him a thing or two." Sure enough, when our porter gets back, he goes for "Dave" all-right, but this gentleman simply smiles. He knows, that that is the sensible attitude to assume for the time being, anyway. As a matter of fact he sees a certain amount of humor in the extra one's ravings. And if the victim is not too hard-boiled he is more than apt to see the humor himself in the futility of faving about a trip which, after all, some porter had to take. The next assignment this porter gets will be a good one. "Dave" knew, the other was a lemon, so the extra one's next trip will be something more opulent. Some day this young man will be promoted to a position where it will be disrespectful for the porter to address him as "Dave." But no matter to what position he advances, his value to his employer will hardly be any greater than what it is at the present time. Picked.Up Here And There People who are closely identified with the tipping game are inclined to endure with good natural compacency those aesthetic people who dey the tipping habit. But when a New York politician refers to tippings as gold digging, it seems the height of effortory. No wonder the woman member, who was at one time a waitress, lost her temper when a New York Assistant dearest declared a meeting of some sort of survey committee, that receiving tips and gold logging were analogous. Anyone who can beat a politician receiving tips is a wizard. To be awakened at three o'clock in the morning by the violent ringing, of your telephone is a nuisance. To have the experience of being called from skimmer at this hour by the police, your house is 0 miles tracking includes. But you must end in a bank of snow at three o'clock in the morning is the next thing to do. The last experience is practically what happened to one Pullman porter when—one section of the Continental Country Limited ran into another station at Swanham, N. Y., on lancetion at Swanham, l. N. Y., on lancetion at W. Mason, l. N. Y., on lancetion, said that he was in the bed of getting up to go on duty when the mission occurred. The Pullman threw his car on its side on snow bank. For a miracle he was razed, and didn't get his warnings until he felt himself colliding in snow. He and some of the other officers on the train suffered minor injuries. It is shocking that the engineers of this railway did the mining must have been dead, when his strap, for he was wounded, lifeless from his side of the engine's cab. A. I.

Y ANNUAL MEETING AND DINNER COMES JANUARY 28th Girls Of The Branch Laying Plans For Extension Of Activities This Year The most stimulating season of the years is the New Year. It is the time when even the most cynical, the most discouraged, and the most disillusioned "turn over a new leaf," and make at least one or two new resolutions. We never quite lose the hope that this year we shall succeed "where last year we have failed. We find this spirit of hopefulness and enthusiasm in all of our activities throughout the Branch during January. The girls in the Branch are planning to learn more this year, an do have more fun too; to read more good books; to see more worthwhile plays; to sing a little more and to think a little straighter and more tolerantly on most questions. All of these aims are plainly. evil, when not expressed, and sometimes not even expressed fully-as the girls make out their programs for the next few months. There is one resolution made by most people, and that is to try to make the coming year count for more than the past year has counted. The Education Department' points a definite direction to this aim, offering so many helpful as well as fascinating classes. Registration for practically all of these classes is open as the new term approaches. One may register for the course in beauty culture, in all its branches, and for the day or evening secretarial courses. Registrations are being taken for the meet the meeting 1 and 2; for public speaking and for the trade classes of all descriptions. . .

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. That's where softening really counts. That's where the razer does its work. When the beard is properly softened at the base with Colgate's razor pull is entirely banished. Buy a tube of Colgate's—then compare it with any other shaving method you may have used.

In her remarks, Mrs. Hanning said that recently, the churches have been shut down to help to prove this housing condition, she said: "What would be, more, religious than immortalize this bloody situation?"
