Worthham, C. C. Saunders, E. P. Roberts and Miss Florence Potter—represents a total outlay, including equipment, of $275,304.41, and of this amount, John D. Rockefeller Jr. gave $218,188.78. An interesting fact in this connection is that, on May 11, 1925, a previous pledge made by Mr. Rockefeller was increased to a total of, $252,000, but the full amount was not required. A letter, from his representative, W. S. Richardson, to Mrs. Edwin Richardson of the New York City Y. W. C. A., under date of December 29, 1928, acknowledged receipt of a requisition for a firearm, quired on Mr. Rockefeller's pledge of $17,020.26, and enclosed a check for that amount. They wrote Mr. Richardson: "We are happy that this residence for colored gifts is realicity. We hope that it will be most useful. The fact that the expense comes well within the amount pledged is appreciated." Terry Bought Lots For Site. Three lots on 137th street, immediately adjoining the Branch building, were purchased for the residence house site, the deal being handled by Watt Terry of the Terry Holding Co., Inc. who personally purchased the property in his own name, after prolonged negotiations with the firm of Jos. P. Day & Co., putting up the necessary first payments from his private funds. And Mr. Terry refused to accept any part of the commission or fee usually paid to realty agents in such transactions. His contribution in this manner represented a sizable sum. Another contribution of interest was that made by Mrs. Emma S. Ransom, former chairman of the Committee of Management of the 137th street branch, whose name is borne by the new residence house, Mrs. Ransom contributed $56 to pay for the bronze tablet whistle is placed on the building's front. The remainder of the cost of the women's hotel came from the sale of the old residence house at 200 West 137th street, now owned and occupied by H. Adolph Howell, mortician. The net proceeds were $57,059.63. Equipping the New Building.

Oldest Negro Business In United States Is In New York City, Having Been Run By Family Through Three Generations George Smith & Son, Chimney Experts, Have Been In Business Since 1835; J. W. Hill, Present Head, Is Ventilation Expert If you look in the Red Book, New York's business directory, you will find listed only six firms doing business as chimney cleaners, experts on chimney construction, etc. One of these is conducted by a Negro and is known as George Smith & Son, with offices at 330 West 25th street. It has done business continuously since 1833, handed down from father, to son for three generations, and so far as is known, is the oldest business conducted by Negroes in the United States. J. WESLEY SMITH In the beginning of the 19th century, a, Negro, by the name of Cornelius Jackson came down from Albany and settled, as a squatter, on a little farm in the neighborhood of what is now 1202d street and Second avenue Manhattan. After a time he became a farmer, and used to take his vegetables to market down in Greenwich Village, then upown New York City. Laving the farm in the early morning he would dispose of his produce by ten-o-clock and sometimes found himself with several hours' time to idle away before he was ready to return home. Start of The Business. Being of a thrifty disposition Mr. Jalison used to do odd jobs after selling his produce, thus earning extra money before returning to his farm. One of the extra jobs he performed was cleaning the chimneys of the residents of the neighborhood, and soon he became so proficient at this work that his services were in great demand. It was in this way that the firm of Jackson and Smith was founded at 15 West 4th street in 1835. Mr. Jackson's partner in the business was William Smith, who in 1840 took over the business and ran it under his name until 1890 when he admitted his son, J. Wesley Smith, into partnership, heging the firm's name to George Smith and Son. Since 1890, the business has been directed by J. Wesley Smith, and he is now the sole proprietor. Became Ventilation Expert The present head of the firm is not an ordinary mechanic. He graduated from the public schools of New York City, and had started a college career when his father induced him to enter the business as his book keeper. After a few months young Smith saw the possibilities of the business and gave up his idea of learning some professional skills of the already well-established business of his father. He has made a study of flues and ventilation in general and is now recognized as an expert on this subject. When the late August Belmont was building the first subways in New York and the question of ventilation came up, Mr. Smith submitted a paper on the subject which was later laid before the York City Commission. At various times since he has been consulted on the ventilation of all kinds of buildings. Patrona Mostly White. The business of George Smith and Son is a Negro business only in the sense that it is owned by a colored man, for the work done is largely for white people. That he has confidence in his ability is shown by the advertisement Mr. Smith has placed on his website. This reads, "We guarantee this cure all defective and smoky chimneys, fireplaces, ranges and furnaces, and avert any inconvenience arising therefrom, or NO PAY." Because of a slight stroke of paralysis, which he suffered two or three years ago, the business of J. Wesley Smith has not been as much as in the past, but at the present time he is 8 to 15 mechanics and sometimes has thousands of dollars worth of work contracted for, at one time In recent years the firm has done work for the following well known corporations, as well as for many prominent individuals: Childs Restaurants, the United Cigar Stores, Inc. Gaines; Van Nostrand and Myerson, real estate brokers of 383 Madison avenue, the Hotel Seattle, Cliff the Hotel Inn, Watkins Hotel Supply Co Hotel Supply Company. Prominent individuals Mr. Smith has worked for are the following: the late Harry Houdini, Mrs. Bronson Murray, Jeremiah Milbank, R. Fulton Cutting and Ogden Mills, The Knickerbocker Club of 2 East 62nd street, the neighborhood Lunch Club of 28 West 37th street, Buckley New Hall Furniture Bank, the Garden Bank, the Garden Restaurant of 221 West 33rd street, Hotels White, Touraine, Gotham, Ray and the Robert Fulton Mr. Smith holds that if a colored man makes himself an expert in some particular line, his services will be in demand, despite his race.

Turner, member of the faculty of Hampton Institute, has been honored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science by election as a Fellow, in recognition of Dr. Turner's contribution in the field of research.

THE NEW YORK TIMES Pulled Voting Levers For Drunken Voter Former State Senator Courtlandt Nicoll of the 17th Senatorial District, New York City, in contesting the seat awarded his opponent in the last election. Senator Abraham Greenberg, has produced testimony that Democratic election workers grossly violated the law by accompanying voters into the election booths, instructing them how to pull the levers of voting machines, thus nullifying the law as to secrecy of the ballot. Evidence was given of at least one flagrant violation, in which a Democratic captain had pulled the levers for a Negro voter, the latter being drunk and staggering around the voting place. Congressman LaGardia testified for Mr. Nicoll, telling of conditions that obtained, with election inspectors going into machines with voters, one voter emerging with the scarf. They didn't even let me touch the levers. Sudden illness of Senator Greenberg caused postponement of hearing to February 17. LINCOLN'S RELIGION (Continued From First Page) ed him, I cannot succeed.

He said that "No honest an can follow, read on his trip to Washington, read the speech made all along the way, and doubt that he was a God-fearing and God-trusting man." Said Lincoln at Columbus, Ohio: "This is a most consoling circumstance, and from it we may, conclude that all we need is time, patience, and reliance upon that God who has never foraken his people." The new York Legislature, he spoke: "We will have confidence that the Almighty, the God the universe, will, through the instrument of this great and intelligent people, bring us through this as He has other difficulties of our country." At Newark, he said, "I am sure, however, that I have not the ability to do anything unaided by God, and that without His support, no man can succeed in doing that the importance of which we all comprehend." At Trenton, Mr. Lincoln declared that he shall be most happy, indeed, if I shall be himself in the instrument of the hands of the Almighty, of perceptual the object of that great struggle. In his first message to Congress, President Lincoln reminded members of that body that "In the midst of unprecedented political troubles, we have cause of great gratitude to God for unusual good health and most abundant harvests. With a reliance upon Providence all the more the great task which events have evolved upon us" A year later, Lincoln wrote: "While it has not pleased the Almighty to bless us with the return of peace, we can but press on, guided by the best lights He gives us trusting that in His own good time and wise way, all will be well" Williams Square Deal Medical Preparations For Internal Use For MEN AND WOMEN The treatment of Colic, Cramps Shortness of Breath, Indigestion, Stomach trouble, Gastritis, and as Good Cause for High Blood Pressure and for External use for the Treatment of Rheumatism, Asthma and Swelling.

HOTEL Service—Subway and Surface Care ED. H. WILSON, Prop- Operatives from the private detective agency of F. G. Robinson of 1980 Seventh avenue are reported to have been engaged by Mrs. Florence Simmons of 122 West 139th street to secure evidence of the alleged combiless infidelity of her husband, Simmons of 153 Lenox avenue, member of the chol of Salem M. E. Church. According to statements sent out by Robinson, the agents, accompanied by Mrs. Simmons, visited 10 West 18th street, where Mrs. Nancy Cogwill, dressmaker, has an apartment, and they allege that at an early hour, Sunday morning, February 6 entrance was made into Mrs. Cogwill's apartment. It is further alleged that Simmons and the dressmaker were found in the woman's bedroom. Simmons were married at Stanford, Conn, on December 12, 1912. Mrs. Simmons, through her attorney, is reported to have entered suit for divorce and alimony. A Correction In writing of the presence in New York of William A. Perry, principal of St. Athanasius School, Brunswick, Ga., he was inadvertently referred to as rector of St. Athanasius Church. The rector is the Rev. Julian Clyde Perry, and though bearing the same name, is not related to the school head, Rector Perry, however, is chapain of the school, and both church and school are under the jurisdiction of Bishop F. F. Reese. WASHINGTON'S WISDOM against odds the fiercest. Had he even song to comply with the implied requirements of his critics respecting the political conditions of his people in the South, that which he was doing would have ignobly failed. The vials of wrath would have been unstopped, and Booker T. Washington would have been obliterated. A unkeeper would not be. If there be a unkeeper for wisdom for any one thing more than for another, it is that he abstained from giving utterance to the things impliedly demanded by his opponent. "The case would have been vastly different had he openly and avowedly endorsed all this procedure. Then the charge of disloyalty might have been laid at his doorsteps. Then he might have been charged with treachery. But none of these things he did. There never came a juncture when he did not do all that was possible. To many things he had to submit in silence because at the time, silence was golden. He was on the ground was manna new south continent from close observation and study, was a profound student of the most minute of current affairs, loved his race, as his career shows, and deduced his conclusion as the man of wisdom that he was. "Throughout his career, from the outset to the close, Dr Washington sought to preserve the best possible relations between the two races living in close neighborly touch, and so taught his people. To him it was a study of the best and most essential means of living this. More than the effort he was asked to show that he sold the rights and principles of his people for a mess of pottage, when in truth, all his life lay in the other direction. He never lost an opportunity to urge a plea in their behalf, nor was there ever cessation of effort to improve their condition. Had he adopted the policy urged by those who could so easily criticise, and who insisted that he should do so in virtue of his opportunity, his career would have ended, and that which the race so mournled would have been lost. The instance was never known of his being before white audiences which he did not with telling effect the strongest pleas in behalf of his people. He surrendered nothing, gave up no conviction, but was ever studious of ways and means for the promotion of the interests of his people. He was his own counselor as to how this should be done."

Pearcy on his trip of discovery, and the only man now living who has done so, has received some recognition of his heroic service. Through the intervention of Congressman Ogden L. Mills and U. S. Senator James W. Wadsworth, Henson has been advanced from his present, rating as a Custom House messenger at $1,700 to a clerkship at $2,000 per year. Congressman Mills wrote Fred R. Mossman edition of The Age, that this result has been accomplished by Executive action on part of President Coolidge, as no legislation was required, and that it was felt that the original recognition was inadequate. DOUGLASS ON LINCOLN (Continued From First Page) gations, who often tried his patience, not by isolated facts torn from their connection; not by any partial and imperfect glimpse, caught at idopportunity moments; but by a broad survey, in the light of stern logic of great events, and in view of divinity which shapes our ends, rough hew them now we will, we came to the conclusion that the hour and the man of our redemption had somehow met in the person of Abraham Lincoln. "Though he loved Caesar less than Rome, though the Union was more to him than our freedom or our future, under his wige and beneficent rule we saw ourselves gradually lifted from the depths of slavery to the heights of liberty and manhood. Can any colored man, or any white man friendly to the freedom of all men, ever forget the night which followed the first day of January, 1863, when the world was to be good, as his word? I shall never forget a wonderful night, when in a distant city I watched and watched at a public meeting, with three thousand others not less anxious than myself, for the word of deliverance which I heard read today. Nor shall I ever forget the outburst of joy and thanksgiving that rent the air when the lightning brought to us the emancipation proclamation. "In that happy hour we forgot all delay, and forgot all tardiness, forget that the President had bribed the rebels to lay down their arms by a promise to withhold the bolt that would smite the slave-system with destruction; and we were thenforward willing to allow the slave's latitude of time phraseology and to device that statemanship might require the achievement of a great and beneficial measure of liberty and progress. His great mission was to accomplish two things: first, to save his country from dismemberment and ruin; and second, to free his country from the great crime of slavery. Had he put the abolition of slavery before the salvation of the Union, he would have inevitably driven from him a powerful American man and rendered resistance to abolition. Measuring him by the sentiment of his country, a sentiment he was bound as a statesman to consult, he was swift, realistic, radical and determined." CANDY ICE CREAM SPREEN'S 2340 SEVENTH AVE. N. W.

Suit was filed by Attorney Maxwell Shappe on behalf of Mr. Thomas on December 30, and the summons was served on Mr. Morris on Monday, January 24. Denied Charge Was Theft. In a statement to The Age, Mr Morris denied that theft of the auto was charged in the warrant, asserting that the only basis of the charge against him was that, he had purchased a car in Memphis, Tennessee, from the Hull-Dobb Co. on a deferred payment plan that he had driven to Newark N. J., in the car; had defaulted on making payments; and, in consequences the Memphis firm had sworn out a warrant charging him with driving the car out of the state without their written consent—(notwithstanding that he kept the company advised as to his whereabouts). And he claims further that when illness caused him to default in payments, he had written the company, asking for a schedule of payable and to turn the car back to the company. Paid For Car—Charge Dropped. Mr Morris denied that Mr. Thomas procured dismissal of the warrant. This was brought about through the act of the young man's father, the Rev Dr Morris of Richmond, who on being applauded of his sordid ordealment got in touch over the long distance phone with the Memphis firm, and won an agreement from For Attention Of U.

The money was immediately transmitted by telegraph from Richmond to Memphis, whereupon the New York authorities were notified and, Young Morris released on Tuesday, December 7, having been in custody since Saturday, the 4th. Denying the allegation that Atornev Thomas had made disburements from his own funds, and that his client had not reimbursed him young Morris exhibited photographic copies of a cancelled cashier's check for $8.50, drawn to his order by the South Carolina National Bank, Columbia, S. C. dated December 2, 1926, and asserted that this check had been endorsed and turned over to Atornev Thomas on December 6 in payment of expenditures for telegraph messages and taxicab fares incurred by the lawyer, which, according to a bill later sent Mr. Morris, totalled $6.82. A photographic reproduction of the reverse of the check showed two names as endorsements: "Chas S. Morris jr." and "James C. Thomas." Fee Jumped $75 to $300. To the charge that he had refused to pay Mr. Thomas the legal fee for services, Mr. Morris entered an emphatic denial. In explanation, he gave the following version; When the case was concluded by withdrawal of the warrant and his dismissal from custody, Morris asked Thomas about the bill. The lawyer said it would be mailed later. On December 11 a bill for $75 lawyer's fee, with $6.82 expense account, to alling $81.82, was received by Morris. Speaking engagements at Pittsburgh Pa. Waterbury and Hartford, Conn. took Morris out of New York until December 20. On his return, Morris phoned his lawyer, but the latter was out and no connection was established. The Christmas vacation at Columbia University, where Morris is a graduate student, began on December 1, and the young man left for Lynchburg, Va. to spend the holidays with his father and family. When he got home, Morris found that the lawyer had already, under date of December 18, written to the father concerning the lagal fee, and another letter of date of December 27 came later. Then on December 30, came a telegram alleged to be from Attorney Thomas, informing Rev. Morris that as the fee had not been paid, suit was being entered for $300. Thought $75 A Stiff Fee. Young Morris returned to New York on January 10, and states that he got in touch with Mr Thomas on the 11th, at which time he asked to be allowed to pay the fee in instalments, as he was in school and not in possession of the amount of the original bill. $8182. At the same time, says Mr. Morris, he suggested that the fee was a bit high for the actual service rendered. But the leniency asked for was denied him, alleges Mr. Morris, and he was summoned for a hearing in the 7th District Municipal Court on Wednesday, February 9. Hrs. Alma Dias-Thomas Given Gold and Platinum Wrist Watch By Friends A feature of the surprise party given Mrs. Anna L.

You will be surprised how equally you can Own Your Own Home Some folks in Harlem continue playing "numbers," but there seems to be a decided curbing of activity. Persistent effort or part of the police has taken some of the starch out of the bankers and collectors, and they are not so bold nor brazen in flaunting their work before the eyes of the world. Workhouse sentences, which have been handed out by Judges of the Court of Special Sessions, with a lack of discrimination, have caused many of the bankers to agree with the admonition that "Discretion is the better part of valor," and they have closed their books. There are others, however, who seem to think they have power to ward off all restraining attempts and they are continuing to direct the activities of collectors and runners, and taking in the daily offerings of those who hope to hit upon the group of three-digits which will be reproduced in the daily Clearing House balances. Now On Welfare Island But Herman Rosen of 2394 Seventh avenue will not receive any plays for the next three months, for Judge Kelly, in Part VI, Court of Special Sessions told Rosen on February 7 that he would be boarded at the city's expense at the Welfare Island hostelry for ninety days. Rosen was arrested on August 23 by Patrojman Pruschen (8839.) "Jack Smith's home address is set down by the police as 40 West 136th street, but he was picked up by Patrolman Scott at 9:55 a.m., on December 9 last at 45 West 135th street. As Smith was convicted of having a number of policy slips on his person, Judge Kernochan in Special Sessions on January 20 sent him to a two months' sojourn at the Welfare Island workhouse. It was hot July, the 26th, to be exact, in the summer of 1926, when Ray Diaz was arrested at 60 West 142nd street by Patrolman Ryan on "numbers" charge. Diaz gave bond for his appearance, when called for trial but evidently the lure of the Tropics—either charming Cuba or sunny Spain—was stronger than his willingness to face the snowy blasts of February in New York—and Monday, the 7th, was icy as well as snowy on the streets and in the court room—so when Judge Healy called his case Diaz was not there to answer. So instead of going to the workhouse—at present, anyhow—the bondsman had to fork over a substantial sum, for the bail bond was ordered forfeited. Lord-Middleton Wedding Larchmont, N. Y. —A beautiful wedding was solemnized at the emmanuel A. M. E. Church on January 27, when Clara Elizabeth Middleton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund A.

Dowdy of 10 West 138th street, Clarence Williams and James Garland, both of 2523 Eighth avenue. Williams has a police record and was wanted by the police of four other precincts in connection with seven other burglaries and a rape charge. At the same time, Adel Selby was arrested in the apartment at 10 West 138th street where a part of the loot was found and is being held on a charge of receiving stolen goods. After the arrests had been made it developed that the goods recovered had been stolen from the B. and G. Tailoring Co. of 308 West 41st street. The loot included 47 bolts of cloth, 17 silk linings, 11 overcoats, 7 vests and a number of ladies dresses found in Mrs. Selby's apartment. A Mysterious Auto. Patrolmen Johnson and Lee were standing at corner of 136th street and Fifth avenue about 4.45 a. m., when they noticed a Cadillac sedan proceeding slowly up Fifth avenue, turning west into 139th street. The car seemed heavily laden and the action of the driver caused the policemen to follow it. They came upon it standing in front of 10 and 12 West 138th street, and upon examination it was found to be filled with bolts of cloth for men's suits. The two policemen waited in the dorway of No. 14 until the driver came down. He gave his name as Leo W. Dowdy, and said the goods belonged to a man named Garland, and had been secured on 8th street. He promised to take the police to Garland but when they reached a house on West 148th street, where Garland was supposed to reside Dowdy could not remember the apartment number. So patrolman Lee drove the car back to the West 138th street address. One of the policemen remained to guard the auto while the other made Dowdy go back to the apartment from which he came, where they found Adel Selby, and more of the bots of cloth and some ladies dresses piled in the center of the room.

In the meantime, Patrolman Lee saw a man wATCHING the auto from across the street and Mrs. Selby was he was Garland.

The were all taken to the 12th District Court, where Willingham and arland were held in $5,000 each each and Dowdy and Mrs. Selby in $1,000 each to await the action of the grand jury. Auto Was Stolen Also. After the arrest: it was found that he auto had been stolen by Dowdy from his employment, a man named Josephs, of 37 West 72nd street. Patrolman Johnson and Lee are being congratulated on making the arrest, which other officers in the 16th Precinct say it is the most important arrest from this pdcinct in recent months.

Paterson, N.J.—A bullet through the sample ended a spectacular gun shot between three detectives and a Kelro wanted for murder Sunday, February 6. The inurderer had let it be known that he would not be taken alive. The dead man is Arthur ("Craig") Bunn, 40 years old, who was one of the murder of his landlady, Mrs. Lillian Davis, of Mahwah. N. J. More than thirty shots were fired after Bunn had shown his willingness to shoot it out with, the policemen as they approached the house, at 24 Dinson Street. Police say he killed Mrs. Davis in a dispute over his dislike for her husband. Police had been on the lookout for Bunn since the murder house. Detectives James Brooks and John Herman and Patrolman Edward Moore went to the house. Four shots, fired through the front door, pretected the policemen as they approached the house. The officers then covered up and surrounded the house. Detectives Brooks and Herman went to the rear of the house and Moore watched the front of the house. They called to "Cotchick" to surround and then started firing through the windows. Bunn returned the fire and was quiet. Two more shots rang out in quick succession and then there was silence in the house. After a few minutes the detectives entered the house and found Bunn dead on the floor. There was a single bullet hole through his temple. Whether it was a police bullet or the last from his own gun that caused Bunn's death is not known and probably will never be. * We Have A Number Of Fine Investments Propositions For City & Country Property Including Summer Hotels & Boarding HOUSES Will be glad to mail fuller information on request. 328 LENOX AVENUE (bet. 126th 12' 12" Sts.)

This discrimination has been specially observant in the postal service, though the head of that department is not be charged with any personal bias account of color. The trouble has been largely with the postal inspectors, appalled under the Democratic regime, who variably report unfavorably upon any recommendation for the promotion of hired employees. One of the specious reasons advanced is failure to indorse a favorable recommendation of this kind is the excuse colored employees are inclined to display, and that it would be courting and necessary risk to place them in key position in the money order, postal savings or other department where they would have handle money. It is an unfortunate fact that among the hundreds of postal employees who have at various times been detected of stealing from the mails, there been a small percentage of Negroes, the doubt very much if there are another figures showing that the propensity to steer from the mails is any greater and the group of employees than another. As a matter of fact the records of various departments of the Federal government as well as those of the surety bond companies, would show that the colony holding official positions involving handling of money have been remarkable from any charge of embezzlement, even accidental loss to the government the record of one deputy in the Internal Revenue service showed collections of and a half million dollars within three years without the difference of one cent between the taxes imposed and the cash deposited in the credit of the collector. Even in the days when many of the practices in the South were filled by Postmasters and Negro collectors of Orms and Internal. Reveise were located in Atlanta, Savannah, Brunswick, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Columbia, and other Southern cities, instances of delinous loss were almost unknown. As a result Negro in the Federal service has been efficient and scrupulously exact in dealings with the government. The first upon the honesty of the Negroes, the post office service is undeserved and aptly intended to justify the malicious use interposed by the supervising fief who refuse to give them the advance they have earned. One remedy for this injustice would be reorganize the force of postal inspection, the infusion of fresh blood, include without bias on account of color. Qualified representatives of the discriminated against should be advanced supervisory positions in order to obey the best results. Color should not be an appointment or promotion in any bravery government service, other qualification equal. The Age has had frequent occasion to call attention to the existence of color discrimination in many branches of the Federal service in the appointment of qualified applicants and the promotion of those already in the service who have merited such a step. This discrimination has been especially observant in the postal service, although the head of that department is not to be charged with any personal bias on account of color. The trouble has been largely with the postal inspectors appointed under the Democratic regime, who invariably report unfavorably upon any recommendation for the promotion of colored employees. One of the specious reasons advanced for this failure to indorse a favorable recommendation of this kind is the excuse that colored employees are inclined to dishonesty, and that it would be courting an unnecessary risk to place them in key positions in the money order, postal savings or any other department where they would have to handle money. It is an unfortunate fact that among the hundreds of postal employees who have at various times been convicted of stealing from the mails, there has been a small percentage of Negroes, but we doubt very much if there are authentic figures showing that the propensity to pilfer from the mails is any greater among one group of employees than another. As a matter of fact the records of the various departments of the Federal government as well as those of the surety bonding companies, would show that the colored me, holding official positions involving the handling of money have been remarkably exempt from any charge of embezzlement or even accidental loss to the government. The record of one deputy in the Internal Revenue service showed collections of one and a half million dollars within three years without the difference of one cent between the taxes imposed and the cash deposited to the credit of the collector. Even in the days when many of the post-offices in the South were filled by Negro postmasters and Negro collectors of Customs and Internal Revenue were located at Atlanta, Savannah, Brunswick, Jacksonville, Galveston, New Orleans, Columbia and other Southern cities, instances of default or loss were almost unknown. As a rule the Negro in the Federal service has been both efficient and scrupulously exact in his dealings with the government. The slur cast upon the honesty of the Negroes in the post office service is undeserved and is only intended to justify the malicious excuse interposed by the supervising force who refuse to give them the advancement they have earned. One remedy for this injustice would be to reorganize the force of postal inspectors by the infusion of fresh blood, including men without bias on account of color or race Qualified representatives of the race discriminated against should be advanced to supervisory positions in order to obtain the best results. Color should not be a bar to appointment or promotion in any branch of government service, other qualifications being equal. PROSECUTIONS FOR PEONAGE Recent news accounts from New Orleans indicate that the United States authorities uncovered several new cases of pigeon, which show that human slavery is a source of profit in the country district of Louisiana and Mississippi. Seven trials were returned by the grand jury against the owners of a Mississippi plantation forcing Negroes to work to pay fictitious debts. This was in Amite county where men were alleged to have enslaved Recent news accounts from New Orleans indicate that the United States authorities have uncovered several new cases of piracy, which show that human slavery is still a source of profit in the country districts of Louisiana and Mississippi. Seven true bills were returned by the grand jury against the owners of a Mississippi plantation, for forcing Negroes to work to pay fictitious debts. This was in Amite county where two men were alleged to have enslaved an entire Negro family. The investigation by the Department of Justice agent has been extended to nine houring counties in Mississippi and Louisiana, with the result of disclosing other cases of abduction and entailment in St. Helena and Tangipahoa parishes. In some of these cases the victims of the slaves were reported to have been forced to leave their homes at night half clad, to be sold into slavery. The price said to have been paid for one family was the pitiful sum of twenty dollars, their new owners forcing them to work several weeks without pay and with scant food, all the time being under armed guard. Previous investigations have revealed the existence of various forms of peonage in the country districts, of Georgia and Florida, and the Federal authorities through the Department of Justice have kept up a continual war against the practice. But the old institution of human slavery dies hard it appears, and in the backward sections of the South the theory of emancipation has not yet become a reality. There is need for all the forces of the national government to be exerted in order to make the presidential proclamation of 1863 a living fact in all sections of the country. It was the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution that declared: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." The appropriate legislation enacted to enforce this article has caused the Department of Justice to keep up its unrelenting campaign against peon, age, which is only another form of slavery. It is in order for Congress to enact similar legislation for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, which guarantee the rights of citizenship and the franchise to all persons born or naturalized in the United States. Until all the guaranties of the Constitution are enacted into law and duly enforced in all sections of the countries, the domestic tranquility insured by that historic document will be a missing quantity. Peonage, lynching and disfranchisement are incompatible with the blessings of liberty sought for by the makers of the constitution STUPID RACE PROPAGANDA In one of the New York yellow journals we found a typical version of the perverted idea of race consciousness, that stamps everything done by the whites as valiant and disciplined, while the same kind of manifestations on the part of the black or yellow races are denounced as the madness of a mob or stigmatized as cowardly scurrying. The example of this exaltation of the attitude of the Europeans in China was furnished in two illustrations, separately labeled: "Chinese Try to Incite British to Shoot" and "Hose Sends Coolies Scurrying."

The example of this exaltation of the attitude of the Europeans in China was furnished in two illustrations, separately labeled: "Chinese Try to Incite British to Shoot" and "Hose Sends Coolies Scurrying." The reading matter beneath the pictures ran A dramatic scene in Hankow when a thin line of British sailors defended the foreign quarter against a howling mob of coaches. The man in the center invaded the barricades, and baring himself, defied the British to shoot him. The British did not shoot, but valently held their ground against the frantic natives. Though subjected to insults for hours, the British sailors maintained a silent discipline. They stood in the hot Chinese sun waiting and waiting for Chinese authorities to dispense the rosters. Eventually soldiers of the Cantonese army reached the scene with Chinese firemen. The photograph shows a native fireman ready to turn a hose on the mob. One would imagine that the Chinese cooly who bared his breast to the bullets of the British sailors and defied them to shoot him, was at least as valiant as the armed men who repelled an unarmed mob with their guns. The Chinese firemen who stood ready to turn on the hose to quench the fury of their fellow countrymen in revolt against foreign aggression, might also have been credited with an equal amount of irrepidity. The propaganda of white superiority is so stupid that it does not hesitate at attributing all the elements of courage and discipline to its own supporters, while ignoring similar qualities exhibited by the fully prepared Chinese, who are patriotically determined to expel their foreign aggressors.

PRESIDENT KING'S MESSAGE Considerable consternation was expressed over the passage taken from President King's last message to the Liberian legislature, in which he urged that a ban be placed on the operations of foreign missionaries in that part of West Africa. Some observers read into this suggestion a result of the advent into the country of the Firestone interests, and a desire to establish absolute control free from missionary interference. Others saw in it only the revival of a recommendation made by President King a year ago, but which was not heeded by the legislature. The Star of Zion, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, said that the carrying out of President King's plan for freeing Liberia from foreign ecclesiastical control would affect religious bodies in this country and Europe which are expending about a quarter of a million dollars yearly in Liberia. It instead among these denominations, the African Methodist, which spends about fifty thousand dollars, the Methodist Episcopal church, sixty-five thousand dollars, and the Protestant Episcopal Church, seventy-five thousand dollars. All of these churches have churches in Liberia. Considerable consternation was expressed over the passage taken from President King's last message to the Liberian legislature, in which he urged that a ban be placed on the operations of foreign missionaries in that part of West Africa. Some observers read into this suggestion a result of the advent into the country of the Firestone interests, and a desire to establish absolute control free from missionary interference.

The Star of Zion, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, said that the carrying out of President King's plan for freeing Liberia from foreign ecclesiastical control would affect religious bodies in this country and Europe, which are expending about a quarter of a million dollars nearly in Liberia. It instanced among these denominations, the African Methodist, which spends about fifty thousand dollars, the Methodist Episcopal Church, sixty-five thousand dollars, and the Protestant Episcopal Church, seventy-five thousand dollars. All of these churches have bishops in Liberia. In his message President King was quoted as saying that the Liberians are beginning to realize the incompatibility of political freedom with religious servitude. He therefore recommended: The control of foreign religious bodies must be withdrawn, as well as their financial support from the Churches in Liberia. If the former, why not the latter? "Since we are supporting and maintaining our own government, we ought to be able to support and maintain our own churches. In fact, this is a duty and responsibility devolving upon us as a free, sovereign and independent people. No self respecting, independent Nation would desire otherwise. "Every nation, like every individual, must know God for itself and not for another. As a people, we Liberians are most appreciative of the religious guidance and assistance we have received in the past from our foreign spiritual directors and teachers, and recognize the measurable benefits which have accrued to us therefrom; but nevertheless, we hear the deep, loud and reverberating sounds of the great bell of item announcing the fact that the hour has arrived for Liberia's spiritual freedom and religious independence. To this call of freedom every true and patriotic Liberian must respond irrespective of his religious faith or creed." It is hard to conceive from these generities exactly what specific ground the president has for his advocacy of independent ecclesiastical government. We are unformed as to any encroachment upon the civil authority of the government growing out of missionary movements in Liberia. It is not without precedent, however, for the advent of the missionaries in certain weaker nations to be the prelude to the importation of gun and other evils of civilization, followed by the marines and their machine guns. Maybe President King had this in mind. Nearly a quarter of a century ago, Dr. Hyden, one of the most intellectual men liberia has produced, raised some questions to the comparative benefits of Mohammedanism and Christianity as a working region for the native African. If we remember correctly, his inclination was toward the religion of Mahomet, as being better adapted to the climatic environment and temperament of the natives concerned. On the other hand, many of the American missionaries in Liberia and other parts of West Africa have combined medical knowledge with missionary skill, and have done much to alleviate the physical ills from which the inhabitants suffered. Until Liberia is in a condition to replace missionary efforts along educational, medical and religious lines with equally effective service on her own account, it would seem judicious for the legislature to adopt the aim of religious exclusion recommended by resident King It is hard to conceive from these generalities exactly what specific ground the President has for his advocacy of independent ecclesiastical government.

The reading rooms of such institutions are sometimes favored by unemployed workers or habitual loafers as a convenient refuge from the weather, and they frequently monopolize the seats to the discomfort of those who seek to use the library for more legitimate purposes. The real purpose of the modern library is to furnish information, instruction and entertainment, to those who enter its portals. Properly used it is a first aid to schools, including both pupils and teachers, and a valuable source of information and ideas to the business and professional men, who have learned how to avail themselves of its resources. Too often a public library is regarded merely as collection of books housed in a building, either for purposes of reading and reference or drawn upon application for peral at home. The reading rooms of such institutions are sometimes favored by unemployed workers or habitual loafers as a convenient refuge from the weather, and The Newark Public Library has frequently been cited as a model of the service that such an institution can render to the community where it is located. Its active and progressive methods of putting its volumes of research and experience into the business of helping industry has demonstrated some of the possible uses of such a collection under intelligent administration. Work of the same character is possible in any public library where good judgment and broad vision are permitted to guide the personnel enhampered by petty and needless restrictions. The New York Public Library is possessed of a most valuable collection of books and manuscripts, based upon the bequests represented by the Astor, Tilden and Lenox Foundations. These are almost wholly for exhibition and reference purposes. The circulation department is served through a system of leases located all over the city, where books can be drawn for certain periods. The buildings for these branches were mostly erected through the Carnegie Fund. The funds for the maintenance of the library are derived partly from private funds and the remainder from the city ap propriations. The latter have been called inadequate to the needs of the institution in the way of salaries and renewals of books worn out by hard usage. The branch libraries in the United States and largely in the Americanization of foreign loan both through furnishing book in their native idiom and in encouraging the reading of works in English. The branch library on West 135th street, in addition to the general literature presented, has specialized in the subject of works relating to the Negro race and those by Negro authors. The permanent location of the Schomberg COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS THE AGE READERS' FORUM collection at this branch has made it the best equipped authority on this subject, that is readily accessible to the student of history. There is a rich mine of material for study and research work now available there for those who care to use it. Students should visit this library and learn how to use it to the best advantage. MALONES SHOULD EFFECT SETTLEMENT. St. Louis Negroes from all walks of life, including high churchmen, social workers, business and professional men, have jointly petitioned that Mr. Aaron E. Malone and Mrs. Annie M. Malone of Poro College fame, amicably adjust their differences out of court. Pressure is being brought to bear-that such a step be taken to keep intact and under race control the great and lucrative business founded by Negroes, managed by Negroes and which has made every penny from Negroes. That the Malones should effect an immediate settlement and refrain from airing their domestic and business differences before the Judge is not only the prevailing sentiment among St. Louis Negroes. Members of the race throughout the country are in a similar frame of mind. The opinion seems to be unanimous among thinking people that no matter what the outcome in the event the cases went to trial the Malones would be the losers directly and the race indirectly. There would be a loss of prestige all around. Referring to the observance of Negro History Week beginning February 7. the Pittsburgh Courier said The average Negro student in school is taught the history of every race, and tribe except that of his own. He is told by his professor that the Negro has no history; that the Negro has no achievements worthy of record; that the Negro has not written anything worthy of record and preservation Dr Carter Woodson has arisen with a substantial and emphatic denial. His denial is recorded in volumes which cannot be disputed, and it seems to us that a further preservation of the achievements of the black man is one of the pressing necessities of the century. We must have a background. We must have a starting point. We must be able to look back upon the labors and achievements of our forehears. The greatest inspiration to any rising generation is the history of its forefathers. The Italian points with pride to Columbus the Frenchman will not let us forget the earth triumphs of the French armies the Irish reverse the spirig of shamrock and the Chinaman smiling boasts of the oldest civilization on earth. The Negro must dig into the bowels of the dead past and find for himself the records of his forefathers long since buried beneath the tramping feet of other rising races. The week of February 9 ought to be a red letter day for the A NEW BOOK OF POEMS BY LANGSTON HUGHES "Fine Clothes to the Jew" is the title of a new book of poems by Langston Hughes, the author of "The Weary Blues." The volume of some memoirs, pages is dedicated to Carl Van Vechten and the poems reflect the life of wide rambling and sympathetic observation. Born in Joplin Missouri in 1902, Mr. Hughes has lived in many American cities and in Mexico. He studied at Columbia University, which he left for a series of jobs ranging from truck farming to working on an old ship on the ludson River. His travels on his own, working his way, have carried him through Europe and to parts of West Africa. Later he lived in Washington and he is now a student at Lincoln University. His first book "The Weary Blues," was published by Alfred K. Knopf in 1926 he having won the first prize for poetry in the Opportunity Magazine contest the year previous. Some of his poems have been accepted by the Cross Poetry Vanity Fair and other magazines. In person, this is our nature to the present volume, one of a group written for the magazine. No grof folks know as the lines. A note tells us that the Blue, unlike the Spirituals have a strict poetic pattern one long line repeated and a third line to rhyme with the first two. Sometimes the second line is repetition, slightly changed, and Guiding Star For Race Editor of The New York Age: Editor of The New York Age Please find enclosed money for the renewal of my subscription to The New York Age. Alsb accept my congratulations on its 40th anniversary. May it live long in guiding star for the race and humanity. H S AMERSON Vallejo, Calif. It is reported that Mrs. Malone has made the first move in the suits brought by Mr. Malone for a division of the business, and that has requested that purse be on puesqn and things over. There is nothing else for Mr. Malone to do and we believe he will If there ever was a time for him to prove his bigness of heart and mind and display a real christian attitude it is now. This is the time for constructive action. Personal animus and purely selfish motives must be subordinated for tolerance, that is if the million dollar business which means so much to the race is not to be destroyed. EDITORS VINGS OF OTHER EDITORS thirteen millions of Negroes in this country, and if the suggestion of the Society for the Study of Negro Life and History finds the approval it deserves, every black American will be stir himself to join this celebration with a zeal and fervor commensurate with the importance of the occasion. Dr Woodson's latest work, "The Mind of the Negro," might constitute a starting point for those who wish to take up this study in a serious way. In it appears a group of the letters of Phil's Wheatley, Jupiter, Hammond and Benjamin Bauncker besides others of lesser note. --- Discussing the local political situation, with especial reference to the colored voters in Ward Nine, the Boston Chronicle said. Then there are hundreds of not thousands of men and women in the above mentioned district who refuse to register. This is especially true of the women and young people who have just reached voting age. And to make the situation still worse some of our smaller churches are influencing their members to take no part in the use of the ballot. City Hall is practically closed to our young men and women because they have not yet learned that the balances sometimes, but very seldom omitted. The mod of the Blues is despondency.

The death rate among our tuberculosis patients is said to be the highest in the country. All of these conditions and many others must be corrected and they can only be changed by the use of the ballot. We are perishing for the want of vision. Let us open our eyes and see that the means of our deliverance is in our own hands. This view of the results of our disfranchisement is none too serious and the warning: should be heeded by indifferent non-voters. Editor W. P. Dabney of the Cincinnati Union in a leading editorial headed "Chisum" discoursed tbusly on the personality and doings of that individual; In the East recently, a small but brilliant coterie gathered. A well-laden table. The talk ranged through the realms of literature and art. Towards 1 a.m. the subject of celebrities, past and present, was reached. The consensus of opinion finally centered upon Melvin J. Chisum as the most unique, and in many ways, the most-mysterious as well as the most illustrious product of colored America. Many consider him the chief representative of Methopheles, others ascribe to him the virtues of the Apostle Paul, but all admit that he possesses brains. Whether as an "efficiency expert," or field secretary of the Associated Negro Press, he is always delivers the goods. An angel of mercy to his friends, an angel of death to his foes. Richard the Third had nothing on Chisum. When Richard was offering his kingdom for one horse, Chisum would have had a whole stable of them. According to Editor Dabney, two recent happenings show that Mr Chusin's way of "doing things" is far superior to previous experts engaged in accelerating public opinion The St Luke Herald of Richmond asserts that the Negro is not an independent issue and that all his problems must merge in the bigger issue of human freedom. It argued. Take the all important issue of the ballot box When Negroes as an independent group were denied the right of suffrage, more than three-fourths of the white voters deserted their most necessary constitutional duty and right. They will never assume this fundamental obligation in the face of a world of eliminated Negro citizens around them. Negroes, too, may howl until they are hoarse in futile efforts to interest Negroes in the ballot box, but they will never succeed as an independent block. The entire suffrage force of the commonwealth must be aroused in order to overthrow the unlawful dmination of racasl) political machines. Let us prepare for the new means of approach in racial matters. Let us get out of the ruts of the old-fashioned nonsense of attempting to save the Negro while the devil takes the rest. Whether in labor problems, social issues, artistic talents, political duties, educational opportunities, the lever aler fulcrum must be applied in such a manner as to lift all together if that lifting is to be effective and lasting. We must stop so many movements "for the Negro," except when we are mindful that it is merely an accommodation of terms. The new approach demands a larger vision and a broader outlook of intelligence upon world affairs. As the pageant of progress moves along, the float of the Negro detachment will move along. Hereon let our opportunity. This will be possible when it is generally realized that racial injustices have their moral reaction on the doors as well as on the victims.

The Council is wrong and arbitrary in its tax increase policy and in the question of the water rate were submitted to the people it would overwhelmingly rejected. We will tax soft drinks, pool rooms, dance halls, boogies, near beer gargles and public carriers, instead of taxing the water that people must drink so thrill.

And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seek him. And it came to pass that three days they found him in the detention, both hearing them and the couple, setting in the midst of them questions." asked. "Not questions as these may arise in the mind. Since Mary and Joseph knew that this Child was a charge they had to keep and guard, and that He was such a precious child with a destiny that fulfilled all prophecies concerning the Jewish Messiah, who careless or negligent in He was lost from them for such a knowledge without their knowledge. Or were they the agents of a divine prophecies that brought about this situation in that Child, the Son of Mon the son of God, could visit the learned Sanherin, whose members were both nature in mind and body, and there demonstrate in their school or experimental knowledge that He was a teacher with creative knowledge and divine understanding?

Jesus is the Son of man. All the hope and aspirations were wrapped up in His Being. He had all the qualities, tendencies, instincts and nature of humanity in His Being. He knew how to tap every resource of consciousness and use it. He willed - This how, the Son of Man the Son of God, had the Son of Man and holy purpose in senior, more himself in Jerusalem from his children and neighbors. He came up to make contacts with the greatest kindred of human thought and begin the career of carrying on humanity. Such places as would be similar to our pool rooms, dives, slums, movies and theatres, attention for his mind. But old and wise theological and scientific men attracted Him. He made his Way to the Sandherrin and because he welcomed in their sessions, and because of his wisdom and understanding they be content to help pupils. He was accepted by them as their Master and other. Bhuma He had never been to their school. He knew their court language, in manner, and understood their relations and customs. Is it not using how this Boy, among stranger three days, did not become afraid. A great surgeon is in this Boy, and is going to give a surgical operation on the human mind and faculties. Going to give an operation the Jewish ideals and beliefs and take out the arcbuncles and the cancerous thoughts. Here is a philosopher, an astromer and interpreter of the Song of David who is going to inject a fluid into the veins of their thoughts that will change their blood cells and give circulatory blood and nutrients of thought, new and healthy talents and power. The Bible gives no record of what He did to these learned men. But it does say they were astonished at His questions and answers. Every question never yet solved by these learned men was put to Him. I presume for instance, the greatest of all questions on the meaning of love. They may have inquired of the nature, cause and cure of certain diseases, slight incurability by many of the plants in the earth, had twelve years before, that had heard of a star which they could not understand.

Sunday school at 2 p. m. At the evening service Pastor Bolden continued his discourse of the morning service. Dinner was served during the day. St. Paul Baptist Church Monday might there was a joint meeting of deacons and trustees with the pastor in his study, at which time matters of highest importance to the welfare of the church were considered. It was gratifying to see the othorbrenn planning for wider work, and then agreeing as to the best methods by which to put the plans into effect Wednesday night the B. Y. P. U. was omitted, owing to the mass meeting held by the Harlem Educational Center in Mt Olivet Baptist Church, Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor. This center, which will be conducted jointly by the New York Baptist Church, Society and the Negro auxiliary to the Society and meets with a large group meeting, in which all the Negro Baptist churches of the city and vicinity were represented, and addresses made by Dr. Charles H. Sears, general secretary and superintendent of the City Mission Society, Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor Mt Olivet Church, Dr W. W. Brown, pastor Metropolitan Church, Dr B. T. Harvey, pastor Trinity Church, Dr Vernon Johns, the newly-elected director of the Religious Educational Center, and Rev H. Arthur Booker, pastor St Paul Church Friday night the prayer meeting was well attended, and the people seem ready as never before to join hand in heart in putting over a program for the Lord Jesus Christ. On Sunday morning early, although it was a dark, cold and stormy day, the people were out to their prayer service, and then again to the 11 a.m. service. The pastor preached on "The Earliest Record of Man's Prayer." The Sunday school was well attended, although the weather was very bad. In the evening the pastor preached on "The Divine Challenge and Human Response." This sermon seems to have gone home to the hearts of those who heard it. Rush Memorial Church Dr Oliver's sermon last Sunday morning was based on text found in St John 17.1: "Father, the hour is come" He selected as his subject: "The Death of Chist" The preacher said in part that Christ died that whosoever would believe in Him might be saved, and even in the hour of Death, Jesus was pleading for those who believed Him not, and for those whom He had taught. He offered a prayer for them His death was one of ignominy and shame, but it had been prophesied and was necessary in order that man might be saved from a broken land. The Death of Christ gave to the world—to those who will accept—a right to the everlasting life. He died that we might live. At 3 o'clock, the holy communion services were held. They were very impressive and highly spiritual. The Rev Mr. Booster, pastor of St. Francis A M F Zion Church M Kisco, New York, delivered a helpful and inspiring sermon from text: St John 7:45 "Never a man spoke like this man." Several persons were read in full membership. The evening services were very pleasant. Rev Albert S Johnson of Elmstford, N Y, delivered the sermon selecting for his text *Ephesians 4* "Put on the whole of Christ." Rev Robert discourse was timely and afforded much support for his hearers, particularly those who are set to carry Christ's banner. The services all day next Sunday will be unlit and interesting. At three o'clock, Dr H K Snearman pastor of Bethel Church will reach to the Board of Stewardesses No. 2 interest of the Spruin Mrs. Kelly B. Walker is chairman of this Board Mrs Mary Moore, secretary Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, which some reaching after have been led away from the faith, and have accrued themselves with many sorrow." This quoted pastor Strachan from first Timothy, sixth chapter and the tenth verse, last Sunday night at the Harlem Second Church. This was the pastor's text from which he preached. Anumg other things the pastor said. "It is astonishing what some men will do in order to obtain money. No sort of danger holds them back. They will brave the fortunes of extreme zero weather in Alaska or they will risk the poisonous gases of the mines of Kumber- Today, in our great city there is nothing pursued more determinedly than material wealth. The path chosen is often unclean and dishonest, nevertheless men by the thousands keep chasing gold dust. The great majority must eventually and necessarily be turned back this appointed, only a fortune few find and capture it, the rest give up the chase. The American Bankers Association tells a tragic story of one hundred men who started out at the age of 25 brist on becoming rich in a short time. At the end of a period of fifty years, 63 of them had died of 50 whom left us in memory. Two only are wealthy, and the remaining 35 are dependent either upon charity, of upon then children for support. A curse flows the trail of the gold hunter, and no path is marked with more uncertainty. Rich men race to become good men. Their own lives are good seen in their faith and Christ and a long brace for them to enter the kingdom. Men are such fools about money that thousands of them would find it difficult to live in a community where it is no longer a medium of exchange. The world has a false conception of WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH the purposes and worthy aims of money. No one thing seems to feed the pride and self-conceit of men like their grains or gold. And, Oh, what base and trifling ends it is employed some times. Women have sold their honor for money. Men have bartered their eternal inheritance for a piece of silver. Money won't buy health or happiness, love or character, tween or God." Union Baptist Church The work of the Master is progressing at Union. Sunday, 11 a.m., the congregation was slow gathering, due to the weather. Pastor Sims, who has just returned from Virginia, was full of enthusiasm. He preached a very inspiring sermon. Subject "Christian Stewardship." Mme. Lula Butler Hurse of Kansas City sang pleasing selections. The Sunday schools were well attended. The juniors were in charge of the B. Y. P. U. Mme E. Sims, junior president, presided. 4 p.m. Dr. T. S. Harten, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., had charge on the service. Dr. Harten preached a forcible and jauce sermon. His subject was "The Crazy Blues." Everyone present was greatly pleased with this wonderful sage. All seats were taken. 8 p.m. Pastor Sims preached the closing sermon for the day. This was another great message. The church was crowded. Mme Butler Hurse sang to the delight of all who heard Offering amounted to 477.5 Salem M. E. Church "I must by all means make the feast." These words of the Apostle St Paul furnished the theme for the morning sermon of the pastor, Dr F A Gullen. A goodly number of worshippers had braved the stormy weather to join in the communion services. Dr. Cullen explained that the accomplishment of such a high resolve is contingent upon the necessary preparation being made. In the case of the Apostle, it was his delight to reflect upon the incident that took place on the road to Damascus. In like manner, present daily Christians, find stimulus in the thought of their own conversion. Dr Cullen assisted by several local preachers, administered the sacrament to a large number of communicants at the evening service. The choir added much to the service by alternate selections. The annual candle light service of the Lyeum was held at 4 o'clock. The lady ushers, all in white, conducted the candle light procession. Miss Helen Dowdy and Mrs. Sadie Greenidge sang Rev D W Nichols of Financial A M E. Church spoke. Mrs Nanne Taylor and John Rowley were in charge.

Bridge St. A. M. E. Church Despite the state of the weather there was an unusually large congregation present, Sunday morning, February 6. The pastor, Dr. Tyler, filled the pulpit. He spoke from Ecclesiastes 4:12-15. Dr. Tyler emphasized the thought that a church should have a policy that commands itself to the best thinking members. We should at all times keep in sight, our love for God and man. One of the weaknesses of some churches is that the members do not become dead in earnest, and hence the church is unable to do the greatest good for the greatest number. Mrs. Theodore 'Holly,' former instructor in French at Tuskegee Institute, was the principal speaker at the Allen League meeting. She gave a helpful talk to the members. The president, Mr. Josephine, presided at the evening. Dr. Tyler told the pulpit at the evening. He raised the question "Is Prof. Kelly Miller's criticism of the younger generation of educated Negroes warranted?" He discussed it in the alternative, portraying in a logical manner the reasons he believed that Mr. Miller was right. The fair committee, of which Mrs. Bessie Robinson is president, is working hard to make this fair the biggest and best in the history of the church. Bishop R. C. Ransom, will be at Bridge Street Church Sunday, February 27. Siloam Presbyterian Church Sunday marked the beginning of the seventh year of the pastorate of Rev George Shippen Stark at Siloam. In commenting on the anniversary he expressed the hope that the coming year would see a larger building up of the structure begun by the founders of the church and a prayer to God that all that they strained and worked for would be nearer to accomplish. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered at the morning hour. Before this service Rev. Stark delivered his morning message, discoursing from John 13, taking his theme from the verses "Man cannot live by bread alone but by the word of God," and "After washing the disciples' feet, now I have given you an example." In his sermon the pastor brought out that the program of God was to live a service. It is the appalling thing to live. We have our striving to make the day. From the beginning man was ordained to work. After sinning his work became harder. Every man must have some good which guides, directs and causes him to bow and worship. Received into membership Edward Brisbane, Mery Cella Brisbane of 109 33 Union Hall street, Jamacra, Mrs. Edith M Cody 19 Sumpter street The Bible School met in session at 11:50 p.m. Next Sunday the school will hold its model session.

Richmond, Va.—The Young Women's Christian Association was the hostess to the first regional conference in the Southland, February 3-6, with representatives from the southern cities from the southeastern section. Of the 167 delegates, 25 were colored women representing the Branches. Prof. W. C. Jackson, vice president of the North Carolina College for Women led three discussions: "The Political and Economic Problems of the Present South," "Social problems of the Present South," and "Interracial Relations." The theme of the conference was "The Unity of the Association." The fact that this was the first national interracial conference of the older group of Association members is a real demonstration of the progress in the participation of colored people at the heart of the Association movement. On Sunday the Phyllis Wheatley Branch of Richmond entertained as their speaker Miss Eva D. Bowles, administrator of colored work in cities, who spoke on "Leadership" The Girl Reserve secretaries and advisors who were in attendance at the conference presented Miss Bowles with a huge bouquet of flowers in appreciation of her leadership. Mid-Year Conferences For Y.W.C.A.Workers Under National Board There are two general types of Y. W. C. A. Conferences, summer conferences, which are usually from one to two weeks in duration, and mid-year conferences, which are generally held over weekends, though occasionally they do last for longer periods. These conferences are planned for inspiration and training of two types of workers in the "Y" volunteer and employed-and for girls, and they are exceedingly valuable in many ways. Certainly, for the secretary, they out to the trend of modern thought along the lines of her work and are a valuable medium for the exchange of experience. The conferences are conducted by the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. During the past week there have been four conferences in New York City. They were concentrated in this fashion so that secretaries from out of town might, if necessary, attend more than one of them. On January 29 and 30, the Industrial Secretaries' Conference for the Eastern Region met. The subject discussed was "Workers' Education" and the speaker Edward C. Landean Mrs Mabelle W. Williams attended the conference from the 137th street Branch January 29 to 31, the General Secretaries Conference was held at the Manger Hotel, 50th street and Seventh avenue. Mrs Cecela Cabasnis Saunders general secretary, 137th street Branch, attended the sessions Beginning January 31 and closing to know more about Christ and what He would have them do As they listened carefully to the pastor, Rev W C. Brown, he appeared to unfold another little part of the curtain which seems to be drawn over the eyes of men showing how the Almighty is always hearing and answering and leading us in the righteous path, for He is our guide and our friend and His mercy confers forever. The theme for the morning service was "The Enduring Word," and for the evening service, "Gideon's Band." At two o'clock Rev. A. C. Matthews, pastor of Berean Baptist Church, preached a most remarkable sermon to the Sunday school or this church, using for the subject of his text, "The Boy Who Gave His All." Rev Matthew was accompanied by his junior chorus under direction or Alexander A. Gatewood, which rendered excellent music, and a number of his members. A most captive afternoon was spent. Among those added to the sick list are, Mrs. Clementine Dunn in the Cambered St Hospital, Mrs. Sophia Neal in the Womans Hospital N.Y.C. and Mrs. Huliah Goff, also in the hospital. February 3, was the Eastern Regional Conference, for all types, of Association workers. The general questions discussed at the conference were: Unity in the Association; Religious Foundations of the Association and Financing the Association. Miss Hattie L. Green, membership secretary, represented the staff; Mrs. Irene Bailey Grey, the Committee of Management, and Mrs. Danie Morgan, the general membership One of the features of the conference was the fellowship dinner held at Hotel Manhattan Square on February 1. Miss Ruby Bailey, a member of the Beaux-Arts Club, spoke on the industrial work the Association. Attending the dinner Mrs. Irene B. Gray, with Mrs. Ethel Miller of the Industrial Committee, Mrs. Genevieve Clark, Mrs. Carrie Raysor and Miss Ruby Bailey from the Beaux-Arts Club, Mrs. Danie Morgan of the Music and Dramatic Club, and Mrs. M. W. Williams Upon the close of the conference the "Food Service Conference" opened. The head of the club was Gladys Burton, cafeteria director, and Miss Lois Louise Lawrence, office secretary.

CHARLIE MAJORS, CECIL COOKE AND PHIL EDWARDS WIN AT MILROSE ANNUAL MEET HITT AND RUNN—Like an Unpaid Debt Brother Gus Always Pops Up At the Unexpected Moment! IF THIS GUY IS A CURIOUS YOUNG MAN, YOU'RE AN INHERited ABOUT THE HOUSE? I GUESS HE GOT DOWN TO THE BARQUE'S FOR A GRAVE—HE AINT NO WHERE AROUND. TRANS HEAVEN! SU-SU!—THE DUCESS OF LORENESS IS IN THE PARLOOR—NOW WHILE IN ENTERTAINING HER YOU WALD THE BACK DOCOR, YOU THAT CLAIM DOESN'T BLOOD IN AROUND. SPILL THINGS. Three New York City boys, two former classmates, at DeWiz Clinton High School, were among the winners at the annual indoor track meet of the Milrose A. C. held Wednesday evening, February 2, at the New Madison Square Garden. The Milrose A. C. meet is sponsored by the John Wannamaker Stores of New York and Philadelphia, and attracts the best runners of the country. The three victorious colored runners were Charles Majors, representing the St. Boniventure College, who won the running high jump event; Cecil Cooke of Syracuse University, and/or man on the relay team from his school, which won the one mile relay race, largely through, Cook's efforts, and Phil Edwards of New York University, winner of the invitational half mile race, and whose running on the relay team from N. Y. U. gave the team a victory in one of the 1-mile college relay races. Majors Almost Equals Record Majors almost equalled the inter-college record in winning the high jump event. He jumped 6 feet 5-5-8 inches, which is only an eight of an inch less than the record established by Harold Osborne, national champion who also competed at the Milrose games. Majors has trained carefully for years and stands a good chance of becoming a member of the America Olympic team next year. Phil Edwards of New York University is the first colored runner to specialize in the half mile event since Bill Parker of the St. Christopher Club won the junior Metropolitan title several years ago. Edwards not only won the half mile, but was also responsible for the victory of his relay team in the one-mile college relay event. As third man in the race, he gained a 40 yards advantage and put the anchor man out in front for the last lap. The time on this team was 3.32 Cool Cooke, former national 440 yard champion, returned to competition as a member of the relay team from Syracuse University. He did not compete during the past outdoor season but expects to be very active for his school this spring. He was anchor man for the relay team and brought the baton home in the fast time of 3.25 1-5. It was Cooke's running of the last quarter mile that gave Syracuse the victory Athletic Notes From Bordentown Institute LINCOLN-BORDENTOWN GAME ATTRACTS Bordentown, N. J. — Coach Granger at Bordentown is pointing his lanky set of court pupils for the game with Lincoln on February 16. Any contest with the Pennsylvania colleges invariably brings forth the best in the power of a Bordentown team, and basketball will be no exception. Lincoln, naturally, will be a favorite for the coming scrap, but victory is by no means assured the older and more experienced players, as Bordentown has rolled up a creditable record thus far. Two defeats mar her record, these given by Wissahickon Speed Marvels and Brisone A. C. both of Philadelphia. On the other hand victories of Community A. C. of Washington, conquerors of Wissahickon, Monmouth Elks, Atlantic City Y., and other strong fives have shown the Jersey lads to be capable of a real scoring attack. Bordentown lays under Coach Granger, have been known for their speedy attack and guarding ability, but have been weak on shooting. This year the happy combination seems to have been found with Russ, Neale, and McCann all dangerous men when nea, the basket. Lincoln has been holding her team something of a secret this year, and has emerged from her hair only during the past few weeks. The schoolastic game will be her first real test in this section. Extensive preparations will be made at Bordentown to take care of the many visitors who are expected to attend the game. A reception after the game, tendered to the players and to visiting friends, will provide the social touch TRACK TEAM BEGINS INDOOR SEASON Coach Hastie made his opening bid for a successful year with the Bordentown track team when he sent the varsity relay into the K of C Games at Camden on Friday night. The squad showed up well, considering the handicaps which present themselves for indoor practice at Bordentown. Smith, letter man of last year's squad, won the fifty award. A NU novice event with text to spare while the half-mile relay consisting of Brown, Bruse, Lewis, and Tillman, placed second in their event, Villanova College finished first, just insidehead of the Bordentown anchor man 100 Harlem boy who starred at annual games of Milrose A. C. He defeated Harold Osborne in running high jump event. Spanish Theatre, With Native Plays, Opened At Alhambra Theatre Theatrical Editor of The Age Last Sunday night, having no where to go, I tramped down Seventh avenue through the muck and mire of that densely peopled thoroughfare, Passing the Latayette I noticed a long procession slowly filing, into that tempie of dramatic art over which a multi-colored sign blazed, "Club Alabam" Now I, myself, like my jazz and doubly strong, but tonight I was in no mood for pushing blocks long. So with a sigh and a and josting in a line almost three tear, I continued on my way Gathered outside the Alhambra Theatre there was also a large group of pleasure, seekers, though not so many as I had left, at The Lafayette. The posters, which were in Spanish, announced a Spanish operetta, "La Senuo de un Vals" ("The Waltz Dream"), it I remember might—my knowledge of Spanish is limited to "Buenos Noches" My curiosity was aroused and I purchased a ticket and went inside. Immediately, as if by magic, I was in sunny Spain All around me were Castilians who jabbed in a language quite unknown to me. The orchestra led by a nice looking Spanish woman, struck up a soothing strain. The curtain went up revealing the players in the costumes of a century or so ago. Then I began to understand—their language was lost upon me but their song and music, ah, I drank of it my soul bathed in their beauty. And how the Spanish loves his music and his actors? When a song was well rendered he not only clapped his hands but also shouted, "Bravo, bravo!" He lives, he breathes with his actor. The three acts were too short for me—there might have been four or six acts, they were splendid. I gather that the Spanish people have formed a theatre which will present musical plays at the Alhambra every Sunday afternoon and evening. Thirty thousand people of Spanish descent have organized a Spanish Theatre in Harlem. Is the average Cuban, Porto Rican or Latin-American of higher culture than the average Harlem Negro? If not, why can't 200,000 Negroes organize a theatre?

Eddie Cantor In "Kid Boots" At The Lincoln Nobody < dead, but a eulogy is in order Eddie Cantor speaking "The best cast I have ever worked with, and that's saving something." The musical comedy star was eulogizing the talent which supported him in his first motion picture venture, "Kid Boots," adapted by Paramount from Florenz Ziedfeld's success. The star begins at the top of the list, "Chara's Bow's a knockout." he declares, "I couldn't have picked a better lead if I'd spent a lifetime scouring the country. She's born actress. Hadn't been on the set two minutes before she was laying her part in 'Kid Boots.' And, no stunt was too difficult for her. Clara worked from dawn till dark without a whimper. "And is she sweet to look at?" I didn't spend years on Broadway for nothing! Believe me, I've had my eyes open and see 'em all—coming and going—but there isn't one who's able to walk in her shadow." Wloss for further words to express his admiration for Miss Bow. Cantor passes on to Lawrence Gray, playing the juvenile lead in "Kid Boots," which comes to the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday.

With Mr. Darnrosch's acceptance, the distinguished array of conductors for this important event, in the lives of the fifty or more young musicians who will take part, is completed. As already announced, Ernest Hutcheson has consented to appear and conduct the piano ensembles, and Oscar Saxenger to prepare an conductor's view with Mr. Habel London, director of the Association, Mr. Hutchinson said. "The material to work with is excellent. These are all fine players, and there will be no trouble whatever in bringing them up to a high artistic standard of performance." The vocal ensemble, which will present a group of Beethoven songs on this occasion, met with Mr. Saenger.

Rumor has come to this column man fraternity in New York is on the al notoriety, the details of which she It is not the right of the writer, as anything about the purely privateance, the man's affairs are not public property. And while it is not, and never middle in matters of his sort, or the individual porter, in this case it vent that it would be well for him to sign, which he has observed so often. The price isn't worth the return. No matter how humanly desirable, it is sometimes a question as to whether even fame is worth the price which is paid for it. But in the case of its illegitimate kin, notoriety, the price is never worth the pay. The former is seldom thrust upon the individual: He attains it by close application to an ideal, by constant struggle towards a goal. The latter is acquired in various ways, but mostly by a series of moral blunders. But whether fame or whether notoriety, the possessor has to pay the price for its attachment. He who attains fame must not only walk the straight and narrow path, but he must follow it, as it were, when eating, talking and even sleeping. Let him dare depart from this just for one brief moment, and he is lost. Notoriety imposes no such restrictions on its acquisitor. He may act as inconsistent as he pleases, so long as his vagaries don't conflict with the law of the land. The only price it demands is that he must never tire, must never forget his bargain. Rumor has come to this column that a certain member of the Polish fraternity in New York is on the straight road towards acquiring marital notoriety, the details of which shall not be mentioned here. It is not the right of the writer, nor any other man for that matter, to as anything about the purely private affairs of another. Bu in this instance, the man's affairs are not private. Nothing is private that becomes public property. And while it is not, and never has been, the policy of this column to meddle in matters of his sort, or to mentionconduct that reflects on an individual porter, in this case it ventures to suggest to the errant member that it would be well for him to give a thought (in his conduct) to that sign, which he has observed so often on the road. "Stop Look and Listen." The price isn't worth the return. Picked Up Here And There Here is a new theory regarding the business, confidence which Negroes are developing among themselves in Harlem, although it is not likely that the Age will subscribe to it. "Speaking the other day with a Negro business man, whose line is insurance, on the progress of members on our race in commerce, he attributed the stimulus to progress to the 'theater' he said." This may sound paradoxical, but my belief that we are acquiring confidence in each other's business integrity in New York through the number game, I don't mean among all Negroes, for all of them don't play the game. Nor do I mean to say that all Negro banker's have been honest with their players. But the majority of them have, and are so now. "This paying to players hundreds of dollars with no idea of welching when they are hit, has stimulated a number of Negroes by Negroes that all other mediums of race persuasion have failed to accomplish." The opinion was so novel in its context that I could only remember to return "Well, what do you think of that?" This column is in receipt of a letter from Los Angeles, Cal, under date of January 27. It bears the letterhead of the Pullman Private Gar Newport, and is from the dean of porters, Joseph W Price, o New York and Albany. His party consists of Mrs. Vincent Astor and friend. Mrs. Astor, who before her marriage to the heir of the Huntington, of Staatsburg, N.Y., Astor millions was Helen Dinnemore quested that Mr. Price be the porter on charge of the trip. The dean has carried her on his train between Grand Central Station and her Hudson River home ever since she was a little girl in pinafores. Leaving Los Angeles, the timer on the parts will include San Francisco, Yosemite Park, Salt Lake City, Royal Gorge and Colorado Springs.

C Jones and Ernest Durham jr. The honor of being the tween Mesdames Durham and Barbest players was evenly divided below, and Messrs. Hogans and Durham jr Mr. Durham sr., and Mrs. Hogans, who were partners, played a poor fourth in the series of games, although it is a type of whist at which Mr. Durham has the reputation of being an adept. While he wouldn't concur in this, it was the opinion of the other players that his unsuccessful play was more to errors than to his technique of the game. An enjoyable collation, which was served by Elsaye and Milford Durham, daughter and son of the host and hostess, ended the evening's pleasure. To matured New Yorkers, Mrs. Durham will be remembered as Grace Neuman, one of the early graduates of Lincoln Hospital.
