Strachan, pastor of the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist, Church, 106-108 West 127th street, had denounced the modern theatre and moving picture house as nurseries of vice, seminaries of crime, and evil influences on the minds of church members in his sermon on Saturday morning, February 12, the congregation unanimously voted expulsion from church membership upon any member of the Second Church found to be given to attending the movies.

When under Euripides, there was a decline in public favor of the stage. The transition from the drama to the comedy was easy, borrowing its inspiration from the licentious sports from degenerate Greek villages. The comedies of Aristophanes are an illustration of the depravity of the post-scell as well as the libertinism of the spectators. His wit was coarsen and rule being a mixture of buoonfery, and positive filth. At the same time of the history of the ancient Romans, when they lost their love for virtue, theatrical exhibitions became popular amusements among them.

CARGILL Tuesday, February 1, the postal service lost through retirement one more of the army of faithful employees, in the person of John G. Price of 2251 Creston avenue. Mr. Price was born in Fayetteville, N. C., in 1860, and received his education in the local schools of his city and at Wayland Seminary, Washington, D. C., graduating in 1879.

And one of the Negro internes is a woman doctor. Talking with an Age representative, Dr. Rapp gives as the principal factor in these vital changes the cordial cooperation and support given plans for the betterment of condition at Harlem Hospital by the governing and controlling heads down on East 20th street—the Board of Trustees and General Medical Superintendent of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, of which group the Harlem institution is an integral part. Dr. Mark Fleming, general medical superintendent, and Dr Wm J McGrath, chairman of the Board of Trustees have been particularly interested in the work at Harlem Hospital Dr Fleming having been a former superintendent, and Dr McGrath being argely responsible for admission of Negro doctors as internes. out, would have the most favorable effect upon decisions reached by the trustees, who are all city officials, appointed by the Mayor of New York City.

McCown, of Ohio State College who assumed his duties on April 28 1926, as a medical, later, by his own request, being transferred to the surgical department. The next accessions came on July 1, 1926, when three internes, one of them the first woman, went on duty. They were Dr Mae de J. Mansard, Dr Mae E. Chinn, both of the New York University and Bellevue Medical College, and Dr H. Diaz Holmes, University of Michigan, who came to fill a specially created position as gastroenteric specialist under Ask People To Cooperate In talking of the needs of the hospital, Dr Rapp emphasized his desire that people of the neighborhood exhibit more personal interest by visiting and inspecting the institution, thus learning of what is needed for its wider service to the community, and so helping able to show to the controlling powers that there is sympathetic contact between the community and the hospital. Experiences during his year of administration have come from the assistantendent that the establishing a cordial entente for the hospital among the people of Harlem is one of its most important needs. Requests for various suitably needed improvements have been put by Dr. Ramp into the hands of Dr. Fleming who has transmitted them to the Board of Trustees with urgent recommendation for immediate action. It is expected that the requests will be strengthened and made more susceptible of being granted if the people of the neighborhood show interest in endorsing and approving what matters by means of political means. 2.

Rockefeller Apartments For Harlem Planned After Similar Project On Mott Ave. For 166 White Families-Rents Low An idea of the plans for the John D. Rockefeller Jr. apartments, now being erected in Harlem, may be gained from a similar project recently completed for white workers on Mott avenue facing Franz Sigel Park from 158th to 159th streets. These handsome five and six story apartments will house 166 families and will be ready for occupancy on March 1. In an announcement by the Empire Mortgage Co. details of how the tenants will acquire stock in the corporation which owns the apartments by moderate monthly payments running over a term of years, were made public. When the stock is fully paid up the tenant becomes the owner of the apartment in which he or she lives. The Mott avenue project is an experiment which will have from six to eight months trial before the Harlem apartments are ready and should it prove successful, similar arrangements will be made regarding the apartments for Negro tenants. Because of the larger number of apartments and other savings affected, it is expected the cost will be reduced considerably for the Harlem project. However, the plan will be the same. The announcement discloses that a minimum investment of approximately $250 a room will be required, and that the monthly rate to be charged will be: 4 rooms and one bath 64.00 5 rooms and one bath $77.00 6 rooms and one bath $90.00 6 rooms and two baths $96.00 7 rooms and two baths $100.00 4 rooms and one bath 64.00 5 rooms and one bath $77.00 6 rooms and one bath $90.00 6 rooms and two baths $96.00 7 rooms and two baths $100.00 Of this monthly charge more than one-half, goes to pay off the mortgage and the interest, but in paying off the mortgage the tenant-subscriber increases his own share in the building and thus adds to his savings. In the case of a five-room apartment the announcement shows that the savings averages from $2 to $775 per month, increasing as the balance of the mortgage is reduced. The announcement graphically depicts this feature by quoting the following "rent" (covering upkeep, taxes, insurance, depreciation, contingencies, mortization of preferred stock, etc); if a tenant-subscriber buys outright all the stock necessary to cover the value of his apartment and thus pays down the full value instead of the minimum initial payment, he will pay for the above purposes. 4 rooms and one bath $29.00 a mo. 5 rooms and one bath 36.00 a mo. 6 rooms and one bath 42.00 a mo. 6 rooms and two baths 44.00 a mo. 7 rooms and two baths 46.00 a mo. The announcement further points out that any tenant-subscriber who pays down more than the minimum initial payment per room, or subsequently adds to this amount will be able the sooner to wipe out his share of the mortgage and enjoy the low "rentes" just quoted. Although the tenant-subscriber pays to the Corporation every month a sum varying from $14.28 to $16.00 a room-depending upon the number of rooms and bathrooms in his particular apartment the amount comparable to rent is actually much less than this. In the discussion of housing relief it has become a practice to reduce everything to a basis of "how much rent a room a month." Following this procedure the rent per room-per month for tenants who have not subscribed to the full amount of stock for their particular apartment would range from $10.54 to $12.26 depending upon the number of rooms and bathrooms. The additional $3.74 which he pays represents a saving, for it includes his payment towards the balance of his stock subscription and his contribution towards reserve and contingent funds in which he maintains a continuing share. These figures do not take into account savings which may result through economies of management due to the cooperation of the tenant-subscribers, Constipation Often Causes Sickness "About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G. O'Shields, of Portarawville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of diarrhea, tightness in the chest and backaches. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in this home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all druggists. Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT which would naturally bring about reduction in that item of the budget providing for upkeep. The Thomas Garden Apartments were not erected under the provisions of the State Housing Act. Although conversations were held with members of the State Board of Housing it was found impossible to reconcile several legal questions with this particular enterprise, and any advantages which might have accrued through operating under the Housing Act had to be foregone. The project was undertaken and contracts let while it was still questionable whether any legislation at all would be passed, and the brickwork was almost furnished before the Board had completed its organization. As an indication of what might be accomplished by the State Housing Act, tax-exemption on the improvements alone would reduce the rent to the tenants of this building about $2.00 a room a month, while the financing provisions of the Act would add further economies. This building cannot be judged by the State Housing Act, nor can the value of the Act be tested by the Thomas Garden Apartments—except in so far as the prices to be charged may serve as a measure for new buildings undertaken under the terms of the legislation. An office will be erected on the property where full information about the Harlett apartments will be given out. In the meantime, no one is authorized to accept deposits on these apartments. Representative Women Attend Regional Body At National Y.W.C.A A representative group of Colored delegates attended the Eastern Region al Conference which had its closing session Thursday, February 3. The conference was held for volunteers and workers within the Young Women's Christian Association, and had its four-day session at the national headquarters of the American Y. W. C. A. movement, 600 Lexington avenue. Mrs. George E. Haynes, a members of the National Board, was one of the hostesses of the conference, which attracted 350 women visitors. The New England states, Maryland New Jersey, the District of Columbia, and New York State, as well as New York City, were represented in the registration. All of the visitors were women of prominence in the local Associations in their respective cities. While the attendance had many professional specialists in its ranks, it was chiefly drawn from the volunteer committee and boards of management members, all women of leisure and means. Mra. Rockefeller A Hostess Social events, speakers and discussion groups were features of the four day sessions Mrs. John D. Rockefeller jr., was among the hostesses on Tuesday night, and a tea in honor of other delegates on the opening day varied the program. Wednesday night, Mrs. Robert E. Speer, president of the National Board, was hostess at the play, "Trojan Women" given in honor of the visitors. Miss Dorothea Spinney, a well known English actress, took the role. Daily luncheons were held at which well known speakers spoke. Miss Crystal Bird, soprano, and formerly a traveling member of a staff of the national headquarters to supervise the work of Associations for girls of her own race, sang at the closing session. Mrs. Frederick M. Paist of Philadelphia, as chairman, presided at most of the sessions, alternating with Mrs. Speer and Mary E. Woolley, president of Mt. Holyoke. Miss Eva D. Bowles, who heads the national W. C. W. A. work among colored girls and women, attended the conference. Officers of the National Board elected for the coming year were Mrs. Robert F. Speer, president; Mrs. Frederick M. Paist, first vice-president; Mrs. John D. Rocketteller Jr., second vice-president; Miss Katherine Lambert, secretary; Mrs. Samuel Murtnad, treasurer, and Mrs George W. Davison, assistant treasurer. Among the colored delegates to the conference were. Mrs. Anna M. Armold, Miss Maude Green, Mrs. George Cannon, Mrs. Samuel T. Call of Jersey City; Mrs. M. W. Chisholm of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Miss Ethelinder Dandridge of Germantown, Pa.; Miss Frances Gunner of Brooklyn; Mrs George E. Haynes of National Board; Mrs. Addie W. Hunton of Brooklyn; Miss Willie, L. Long, of Orange, N. William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was the principal speaker at the dinner of the Sunrise Club at Cafe Boulevard, 41st street near Broadway, on February 14. Mr. Pickens, recently returned from a tour of Europe, spoke on the race problem in America and his address and the discussion which followed was exceptionally frank. The Sunrise Club is made uplargely of liberal thinking people of both races, and about 200 members and friends attended the meeting. · Sex A "Red Herring" Mr. Pickens in his address laid down the proposition that greed to exploit a weaker one were the principal reasons for the continuance of racial prejudice, and that the bogy of sex was "a red herring dragged across the horizon" to fool the unthinking flasses. While on the subject of sex and the race question, Mr. Pickens' said that miscegenation flourished most in these sections where the Negroes were most oppressed. The white man of the South was more responsible for the amalgamation of the races than the Negro, said the speaker. He advocated the eradication of the laws for forbidding inter-marriage as a solution of this phase of the problem. In such states as Massachusetts, where the colored woman had the legal right to take her lover into court for breach of promise, there was less likelihood of her being attacked than in the southern states where she had no recourse to the law. Keeping the Negro A Servant. The speaker pointed out that it was was necessary for the white man to keep the Negro feeling he was a servant in order that he might be forced to do the hard work at low wages. For this reason it was necessary to have something to focus the attention of the unthinking masses upon to build up a prejudice. The sex question and inter-marriage had been used for this purpose. Racial prejudice is not inherent, he concluded, and urged those present to broaden their horizon so as to be willing that all classes get exact and equal justice, regardless of race or creed. Warm Discussions, Pro and Con. A prominent Jewish lawyer and a noted woman physician took exception to some of the statements of Mr. Pickens and declared they were opposed to intermarriage of the races. Mr. Pickens answered their arguments by stating that he was not advocating inter-marriage, but was against the placing of law forbidding the marriage of a member of one race to another upon the statute books of the various states. Another white physician took the speaker to task for his sensitiveness on the question of race. He declared that the speaker and the race to which he belonged should prefer being called Negroes or the black race to being colored. Arguments supporting Mr. Pickens views were given by Dr. Hubert H. Harrison, Augustus Granville Dill, Moses Oppenheimer, a noted German Socialist and several other speakers. Edwin C. Walker, secretory of The Sunrise Club, presided at the meeting, and introduced the speakers Girls, Your Health Miss ALMA BROWN Lynchburg, Va.—"To girls who suffer, I would recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription—it did wonders for me.

Cousin Dave, Reed soon got the floor and began to argue necessity for they came in "tis true" but "also true that that occurred under our old immigration laws." Cousin Dave immediately retorted that those to whom Senator Bruce referred mostly got in under the law of 1917, which law cousin Jim was attacking. As this juncture Senator Hale got a ruling from Vice President Dawes that the Naval Bill was before the Senate because Senator Hefflin had objected to discussion of the immigration resolution. But Hefflin, noting the trimming cousin Jim was getting and recalling the trimming he got from the Missourian, withdrew his objection, thus permitting the chastising of cousin Jim by cousin Dave to go on. "Native Stock" Overrated. Cousin Dave was willing to impose a quota limitation upon Mexicans, but cousin Jim wanted it also applied to Negroes from the West Indies. Cousin Dave demurred, and then proved that there is no occasion or reason for such limitation upon the blacks. Cousin Jim had gone too far, but was kept going, as Senator Bruce observed that. "Of course," I think the superior virtues of native stock in many respects are very stock exaggerated," which "native stock virtue" was cousin Jim's premise.

INVESTIGATE SEND COUPON BACK'TODAY On February 1, Senator Hale got the Naval Appropriations Bill before the Senate, only to yield at Senator Hiram Johnson's request "momentarily" that Johnson might get the Senate immigration committee's joint resolution read. Cousin Dave, Reed soon got the floor and began to argue necessity for continued restriction against low caste immigrants. Hustling For Votes. Up jumped the brilliant but ubiquitous cousin Jim. The opportunity to hustle votes for support for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1928 was too valuable to waste. For a time, brilliant cousin Jim did well. With all of his eloquence he praised every tribe of the universe which had made this Nation—except the black. Cousin Dave finally found an opening and pierced cousin Jim's armor, who, in desperation, shouted: "These men who come before us with this talk of 100 per cent Americanism, and protecting America, open the doors to all the black races that want to come here from the West Indies, open the doors to Mexico, and there are today in Gary, Ind., I am informed, two 'wards of Mexicans." Say Negroes Are Preferred. "There are today in some of the Northern States Ward after ward of Negroes, who have come in from the South, and some people prefer them to men who happen to be born under other skies, but who have the same ambitions and the same hopes that we have in our hearts and in our souls." Senator Bruce (Dem. Maryland) asked cousin Jim Reed—"What does the Senator think of the 25,000 or more foreigners who gather at times at Madison Square Garden and cheer Lenin and Trotsky to the echo?" To which Jim Reed replied that Please send one of your representatives to explain the plan of your company. This is done without obligation on my part to buy "Cousin Itm" Geta Out.

Audubon 3796 When time to hear report of the immigration committee on Senator Shipstead's Bill to repeal the national original clause—cause of the discussion—approached, cousin Jim, hotly pursued by cousin Dusty, put a Negro on the safety valve of his craft's engine and made motor boat time home to Missouri, where hustling the Democratic Presidential nomination for governor nearly so strentuous and risky as cousin Dave made, it for him on the floor of the U. S. Senate. Having observed with glee the Missouri's trimming, Mr. Heflin felt that he could safely arise and seek unanimous consent to have, inserted in the Record several letters of approval of the Alabaman's efforts to hustle back into the good graces of the Klan abuhing Catholics in the Senate. Meantime, Cousin Jim was "cram- ming it resin and pine" to keep up steam to keep aging. He is still going.

Bruder had one woman's play for $1, and another woman's play for 50 cents. Saw Three O's in Dream. The first player, some two weeks earlier, had dreamed of the three "O's" and each day afterwards had played $1 on that combination. The other woman, her friend, told of the dream, had at first been willing to play only 10 and 15 cents daily. But the supreme confidence exhibited by the "dreamer of dreams" that the combination was bound to come out ere long, and knowledge of previous dreams which had apparently erupted, finally led the friend to increase her play to 50 cents. And then, on February 9, it is said the winning combination was "000." According to the rules of the game, the dreamer stood to win, at the odds of 600 to one, $600 on her $1 bet, less 10 per cent to the collector, or $450 net. And her friend, putting up 50 cents was entitled to just half that sum, that is $300, less $30, or $270 net. But they did not get either sum. Their slips had been handed to a man said to be named "Fox." of 666 St. Nicholas's avenue, who was employed by Brander as a "nick-up" and "navy-off" man. It was the duel of Fox, when one of his players had a bit to get the money from Brander and transmit it to the winner. And the two women, already decided in their minds as to how they were going to spend their "quick money," waited for "Fox" to come around. It was a glad and joyful welcome that awaited him. "Fox' Was "Foxy," Alright. But alas' alack! when 'Pox' show up he quickly doused cold w er over the fervid fries of his For Attention Of U. S.

Instead, he whinningly informed the expectant women that he had ignored orders which required him to accept only a 10 cents play on the three "O's" combination, and so the banker, Brunder, would not come across with the sums to which they were entitled, not understanding that he had accepted, for more than two weeks, $1 daily from one woman, and sums ranging from 10 to 50 cents from friends. Instead of $540, he paid the $1 player $120, but the 50 cents player was cut even deeper, as she received only $50. That is, instead of $600 to one, he paid the dollar player 120 to one and the $50 cents player 100 to one. Since this action has become public, it is alleged that when Brunder had to face a similar situation last year—being heavily hit by his clients—he staged a "fake raid," claiming that the unexpected and uninvited forap by police officers (but there was no raid, it is reported) had made it impossible for him to "pay off" the "hits." Advantage Against Playeta The players, of course, have no remedy. The whole game is outside the law, and the banker and collectors know this. Disgruntled players who are thus deprived of their chance to recuperate from the strain of long-continued daily losses may stop playing with that particular banker, but the latter does not worry. There are other "suckers" ready and waiting, anxious to put their hard-earned dimes and dollars in the hope of getting some of that visionary "600 to-11" money. And the "pick-up" aid "pay-off" men are right behind the players, urging them to come on and play, and in some cases even giving them "tips" or so-called "dream numbers" to aid their ships. But let one of these tips come through, with any sizable money being played, and there is "weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth"—but not on the part of the banker and his employees. Only the players weep because of the depth of their disappointment! Levy Back In the Game. Levy, bootleger, "numbers" banker and horse race hand book maker, raided and chased from 503 Lenox avenue, from the newstand formerly at Lenox avenue and 135th street, and from 114 West 135th street, is now reported to have gotten back into the business of banking the "numbers" game with headquarters at 552 Lenox avenue A shrewd camouflage, which seems to be devised as a "cover-up" for the 'transactions between the players and collectors, was brought to light in the story told of a Lenox avenue cigar store and news stand proprietor who told a customer when the latter asked for his daily paper, that the bill was 12 cents. The customer, evidently one of the store man's "numbers" patrons, inquired as to why the bill was 12 cents instead of two. And he was perfectly satisfied to pay, it seems, when he was told that the dime was interes' on money advanced by the storekeeper the day before for the customer's "numbers' slip. Harlem Citizens Urged To Take Active Interest In Harlem Hospital (Continued From First Page) Medical School, formerly at Freedman's Hospital, Washington, as interne, Dr Allen is serving as ambulance surgeon At present, of 19 internes on duty in the hospital, this including the two resident physicians, five are colored.

The doctors named OWN YOUR OWN HOME In the south where most of our people come from, nearly everybody who is anybody owns something. "A little home all my own soranged" idea is in the minds of little children, and when they become grown-ups, are property owners. The same can be done right here in New York City. It must take a little more cash—not very much more—but at any rate look at property No. 247 West 128. street, then come in and see us. You will be surprised how easily you can Own Your Own Home. by the Medical Board for these positions are: Dr. Euclid P. Ghee of Jergay, Gigy (Harvard Medical School) Dr. James C. Whittaker of Charleson, S. C., (Harvard Medical School) Dr. R. L Harvey of New Rochelle (Cornell Medical School); Dr. R. S. Wilkinson of Orangeburg, S. C. (Harvard Medical School). A fifth aspirant was named as an alternate—Dr. Albert E. Lynch of Newark, N. J., (N. Y. University-Bellevue Medical College). Innovations in Service. An innovation in the service is the locating at Harlem of a resident medical; and on January 1 last, there was created another new position, that of night-administrating physician, a civil service place, which was filled by the appointment of Dr. Schwarz of the University of Vienna. Speaking of the placing of colored dots in the institution as interes, Dr. Rapp said that they have done splendid work, cooperating, harmonising and fitting in with other members of the staff, with no serious friction. Such small personal disaffections as have arisen have been easily and quickly adjusted and ironed out. Daily increasing demands upon the hospital have made necessary the erection of a spacious and commodious additional dispensary building. This is nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy about April 1. New clinics established or to be established under Dr. Rapp's administration include a neurological clinic under Dr. Burnes, already in operation; and clinics on rectal diseases and public health. And there is a cancer clinic under the auspices of the New York Cancer Association. The Medical Board Local administration of affairs at Hartem Hospital is in the control of a medical board, the personnel of which is Dr. Louis K. Neff, chairman and medical director; Dr. J. F. Connor surgical director; Drs. L. Frierson and H. S. Pascal, assistant visiting surgeons; Dr. L. H. Berliner, assistant visiting physician; T. A. Martin, secretary; Dr. T. J. Byrd, consultant. Some of the flagrantly disagreeable conditions, particularly those dealing with undertakers' spies and ambulance chasers, have been considerably modified, if not entirely eliminated. There have been no recent complaints received. It is pointed out that relations of the hospital personnel are pleasant and agreeable, with a fine spirit of mutual aid and cooperation, with only such minor frictional elements as must mark the human equation. The hospital authorities cooperate generally with local organizations, religious, fraternal and social service, and with the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and results, according to Dr. Rapp, though slowly achieved, are as favorable as conditions warrant. Invite Agencies To Help There is no discouragement, declares the superintendent, but rather an optimistic hope for larger future benefits. This is indicated in the budget for 1927, meaning increased facilities, and this emphasizes the attitude of Dr. McGrath, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Dr. Mark Fleming, general medical superintendent, Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, in their mutual cooperation for the improvement, in every way possible, of conditions at Harlem Hospital. Dr. Rapp reiterated and emphasized the request that people of the community in every walk of life—churches, fraternal orgalizations, forums, welfare bodies, social service agencies, business, and professional groups—get in touch with the hospital and cultivate an interest in carrying out: of projected plans for increased facilities in all departments. An invitation is extended outside physicians to attend on Wednesday afternoons and take part in demonstration medical clinic lectures by Dr. Neff. Emory Jones 73 years of age, died Tuesday, February 8, at his late home 22 Fleet street, Brooklyn, after a long period of failing health, although he was active almost to the last He was the husband of Dr Varona Morton-Jones, the first woman physician of Virginia, who has been practicing in Brooklyn for thirty years.

Plays and Dance At St. Charles Borromeo Church More than three hundred members of St. Charles Borromeo Church, 141 street, near seventh avenue, enjoyed a delightful entertainment and dance Friday evening; February 11, in the parish auditorium. The songs and dance specialties that made up the program actually thrilled the audience and elicited constant applause. The Misses Mary Marion and Katherine Mason, accompanied by Miss Lydia Mason at the piano, offered a novel song and dance number. There followed a snappy one act comedy, dealing with hire in a New York boarding house. The cast was composed of the Misses Teresa Frisby, Gladys Gibbs, Agnes Gibbs, Mabel Farrell, Thelma Liggins and Mary Mason. The presentation was so remarkable for natural talent that even Broadway would be glad to give it at least a big long wink. The closing number consisted of three songs rendered by the Sterling Quartet, which is no stranger in Harlem. It is made up of the Misses Teresa Frisby, Mary Mason, Gladys Gibbs and Agnes Gibbs. Miss Lydia Mason is the pianist. Their singing of "Peanuts" stirred up such vociferous applause and hearty laughter that at times the sweet voices of the young ladies were almost drowned. The delighted audience looks with eagerness to other such pleasant evenings in the near future. Ben Dore's Orchestra furnished music for the dance which followed the entertainment.

Carter of Georgia has been nominated by President Coolidge to be Minister to Liberia, to the vacancy left by the resignation of the Rev. Solomon P. Hood of New Jersey, in line with the policy of promotion which should prevail in the foreign service. Mr. Carter has served with credit for a great many years in the consular service, having called several posts in the Eastern countries, his latest being Dakar, a French colony in the African coast. By training and experience he should be well equipped to charge the important duties now developed upon the United States diplomatic representative at Monrovia. This promotioi of Mr. Carter to a high grade in the foreign service emphasizes the inadequate representation now held by members of the race in that branch of the government, as he was one of the two civil officers who survived the Secretary of State's axe, when Mr. Bryan was making places for "deserving Democrats." Since the administration of President Grant, the post of Minister to Liberia has been filled by Americans of African descent. J. M. Monton Turner of Missouri was the first representative at this post, appointed in 1882, he was followed by a long line of others including Dr. Henry Highland Garnett of New York. John H. Smythe of North Carolina, Dr. William D. Crum of South Carolina, Alexander Clark of Missouri, C. C. Taylor, of the same state and James C. Curtis of New York. Previously to the appointment of a minister to Liberia, President Grant in 1883 named Ebenezer D. Bassett of Connecticut, Minister Resident and Consul General to Haiti, this marking the first appointment to the diplomatic service of a color American. Among his successors in the past were such men as John Mercer Lankton, Frederick Douglass, William T. Pollard, John Stephens Durham, Dr. Henry Burrumn, the last two like Mr. Carter have been promoted from consular positions. The first colored appointee to the consular service named under the Grant administrator was Stanilas Goutter in 1870, at Carla Haitien. In 1873 John F. Quarles was appointed consul at Fort Mahon, Minneapolis and later transferred to Malaga, Spain. Under the succeeding Republican administrations, up to the time of President Roosevelt, a number of qualified men of the race were appointed to the position several of the South American am.

Most of our race representatives in the foreign service acquitted themselves of the responsibilities credibly but the lack of promotion and the zeal of Secretary Bryan filling their places with Democrats, under the Wilson administration, resulted in the elimination of nearly all of them. Under the Harding and Coolidge administrations, the foreign service, as in nearly all other departments of the government every day, has been raised to prevent the appointment of Americans of African blood even in Haiti which for nearly half a century welcomed such official representatives.

It does, however, show that the existence of numerous businesses vending, poison, liquor, so far in New York City made to the Mayor by Dr Charles Norris, Chief Medical Examiner, contained little that was new. It does, however, show that the existence of numerous vending machines, liquor, etc. in certain and uncertain leadership know or care how adversely our government is adversely our high death rate all over our quently exposed by The Age as prevailing in Harlem, extends over the whole city. Pure whiskey was declared to be virtually unobtainable even for medicinal purposes, and as a matter of fact prohibition actually does not exist. Speakeasies and booze joints greatly outnumber the saloons that ran openly before the days of prohibition. The report found among other things that the citizens of New York have not given up drinking alcohol, but the stuff that they now consume is mainly poisonous. The contention that the prohibition law was made to benefit the rich and protest the poor was pronounced ludicrous, as the cases of alcoholic poisoning handled in the city hospitals come from the poorer classes. The elimination of poisoned alcohol from the supply so freely tendered to the public may only be obtained through legislative appeal and action. The present sources of alcoholic beverages were given as follows 1 Pure whiskies and gin, of pre-Prohibition date. 2. Pure medicinal alcohol. 3 Pure imported foreign liquors 4 Moonashine and all products, bootleg variety, home distillates, tenement house variety, home brewwines, beers and cordials. 5 Bootleg booze, champagnes, whiskies, gin distilled alcohol from denatured U. S. Government alcohol. In the opinion of the Chief Medical Examiner, based upon the experience of his staff, there is actually no such thing as prohibition. Instead of the licensed saloons, open to inspection by city, State and Federal authorities, there are innumerable speakasies, where what passes for liquor is sold without any control as to its purity. When these joints are closed in one place they spring up again in a nearby location. It is common knowledge, according to this report, that at least all people who drank before prohibition are drinking now, provided they are still alive, leaving aside the question of whether they drink more, or less. Because of the poor and poisonous quality of the liquor, steps are recommended to be taken as promptly as possible to remedy this public health menace. The mortality from this cause is declared greater than the vehicular accidents and the illuminating gas poisoning cases combined. Poison hooch is charged with killing more people in New York City than automobiles and trolleys and leaky gas fixtures put together. As to suggesting a remedy for these alarming conditions, Dr. Norris ventured to say: In the opinion of the Chief Medical Examiner, based upon the experience of his staff, there is actually no such thing as prohibition.

As to suggesting a remedy for these alarming conditions, Dr. Norris ventured to say: Until all our citizens take a pledge there is only one remedy, and that is absolute and strict enforcement by Federal, State and municipal authorities. To function perfectly the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment must prohibit importation, compel the closure of all commercial and private stills and home brews, the eliminating of bootlegging, the establishment of a corps of strictly honest Prohibition officials, if any such can be recruited in the United States. The reverse of the medallion is that the customs, habits, morals and the religious observances of millions of people are to be altered by some miraculous psychological transformation, which I have seen, heard or know nothing of. Appeal to common sense and unity of ideals and standards seems to me to be the only effective remedy. In a democratic country the ballot, after all is the determining factor, the solution of a grave public health menace. The only opportunity that the people of New York City, and the State at large as well, have had to express their opinion as to prohibition was last fall. Then they voted by an overwhelming majority to appeal to Congress for such modification of the Volstead act as would permit each state to decide for itself what should constitute intoxicating liquor.

The January issue of the Howard Alumnus, which is published monthly during the school year by Howard University, at Washington, D.C., in the interest of the institution and its alumni was a special Medical number. The new medical building in course of construction for the University was described in detail by the architect and many topics of interest to the profession were discussed. Among the matters of more general interest was a reference to the weekly bulletin of public health issued by the Department of Commerce, which published the census mortality reports from the largest cities of the United States from the opening statement, which always ad companies this report, was quoted the following extract. "There are given for each city, the total number of deaths reported (still births excluded), the death rate the number of deaths under one year of age and the infant mortality rate based on deaths under one year for the week and estimated births for the previous calendar year." As weekly figures always fluctuate widely, as some cities are hospital centers for large areas outside of the city limits, AND AS NEGRO DEATH RATES ARE USUALLY HIGH caution must be used in the interpretation of the data presented. However bearing in mind the limitations mentioned, these totals and rates permit valuable comparisons and serve as a ready health index for health officers and others." The writer in the Howard Alumnus woners how many Negroes who occupy places certain and uncertain leadership know or are how adversely our government is adriving our high death rate all over one land every week in the year. It is asserted that the economic and social progress of a people is measured by their death rate, hence this rating of Negro mortality as two or three times as great as the whites is laid to the combination of ignorance and poverty. The conditions that are responsible for this combination are declared to be a sad reflection upon the ethical code of the nation which tolerates and fosters such maladjustment of economic and social opportunities That the high rates of sickness and death among Negroes can be reduced to the level maintained by the whites is declared possible if the leaders can be persuaded to think, teach and preach health as the one and most important foundation upon which to build for the progress of the race. A beginning has been made along these lines in the Better Health movements started at Tuskegee and the dispensing of information on hygiene and sanitation by various life insurance companies and local health associations and the publication of health columns in the race press. The movement for better health is growing and if, as the writer in the Alumnus suggests, every one will hammer toward this end for just one year, the embarrassing advertisement of a high death rate may be removed from the weekly report of the Department of Commerce Before leaving the Alumnus, it is of interest to note an editorial tendency to widen the application of the term, so as to include the non-graduate. It is stated that since 1913, the Association of Alumni secretaries, representing the leading colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, has agreed that every student who has spent at least one year in resident study at a college or university is an alumnus of that institution, entitled to the rights and privileges of alumni. Many Howard students have been lost to the alumni constituency, who have completed one, two and three years or more, because no one regarded them as alumni. An effort will now be made to get in touch with these former students. RECOGNITION FOR HENSON Official recognition of the important fact Matthew Henson played, in making possible the discovery of the North Pole and American explorer, has been made through an executive order of the President promoting Henson to a clerkship in customs service at an increase in salaries seventeen hundred to two thousand dollars. In view of the small measure governmental encouragement usually accrued to scientists or discoverers, this matter increase of compensation may be regained unwonted liberality, although fully justified by the valuable service performed Henson in his support of Admiral Peary's ports to reach the Pole. Credit for this recognition is due to Sir Wadsworth and Representative Ogallis of New York, who presented the order to the President and urged immediate action upon it, without waiting for the certain results of an appeal to Congress. President acted at once in the matter, the executive order that cut all the time and made the promotion effective. It was a happy illustration of what can be accomplished through government agencies where the will to do is present active. On course, it would not miss to await Henson a Congressional as well as was at first proposed later to supplement this material recognition of his devoted service.

The element of change which has been crea- reasingly insistent in all phases of my life has recently made amazing strife the churches, heretofore deemed the m nservative of human institutions The element of change which has become increasingly insistent in all phases of modern life has recently made amazing strides in the churches, heretofore deemed the most conservative of human institutions. In England it was reported that the bishops of the established Church had revised the prayerbook authorized by King James a century or more ago, so as to make it more consistent with the practices of present day civilization. For instance, in the marriage service, the promise of the wife to obey the husband was omitted, the thought being that the practice of such obedience being a dead letter, the promise is a nullity. To even matters up the pledge of the husband, that he endow his wife with all his worldly goods is modified to the extent that he merely pledges himself to share them with his spouse which would at least seem to be more equitable as well as more likely of fulfilment. Other changes permit the offering of prayers for the dead, which is objected to by many, because it seems to recognize the existence of purgatory. On this side of the water such charges as these suggested will have to be fought out in the Protestant Episcopal Church, which owes its origin in this country to the Church of England. Among the Baptists in New York, we find such an eminent preacher as the Rev Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of the Park Avenue Baptist Church advocating the establishment of confessionalists in the Protestant church.

"No one would take exception to our doctors of this city if they would open a clinic and hospital, themselves, as some white doctors have that are owned and sustained by them. The objection is that when they appeal to the public to purchase and sustain a hospital, they will close the doors of every hospital in town in the faces of the Afro-American.

This good lady is so horrified that few plug ushes have deliberately humped them selfs off by over indulgence in wood alcohol which every three year old knows is a deadly poison. That she wishes to lead a group of screaming women to the Holls of Congress to force the repeal of the Prohibition law A few weeks ago the secretary of the New York Urban League told the world in the Literary Digest that the conditions under prohibition are so much worse than any the nation ever saw under license that for its own salvation it will be well to return to the rosey days of the open saloon such opinion evinces a woorful lack of knowledge of former conditions and gives proof of superficial thinking or no thinking at all on the subject. The latest prophet on our law is the scholarly president of Columbia University strangely enough, he too sees prohibition as the greatest evil of this modern day.

Crecy Greensboro Ala At Last Somebody Cares By ALGERNON JACKSON, M. D. Director, Department of Public Health, Howard University, Washington, D. C. The following is clipped from among the editorials which recently appeared in the New Orleans Times Picayune—one of the fairest and squarest newspapers published in the South Read it once, then read it over again carefully "Our greatest trouble, as is the case throughout the South, is the persistently high mortality among the Negro population. That forces us to separate our health tables into two columns, as other wise our totals would be grossly unfair to the white race, and would lack their proper warning to the Negro citizen. Surely a more vigorous and concerted effort should be made to cut down the high death rate among the Afro-Americans. This should be done first of all for humanity's sake, and second because the white race should realize that so high a morbidity rate among the Negroes has its critics upon the white column. There lurks in it a considerable increase in possibility of infection. Our white record is low, but undoubtedly it might be law of further if we could lower it. Negro morbidity figures as well. To my mind this is an humble and conscience-struck confession of the unrighteousness of America's biracial policy, stimulated by man's most elemental emotion—fear. For a great many years we have been trying to say to this rather hard headed nation of ours that its religion, of double racial standards was founded on the unorthodox principles of inhumanity and sociological heresy which would corner or later reveal its weakness and prove a boomerang. Just so long as we have in America a moral and political justice, we shall not pursue to read American health statistics in two columns for the health of a nation stands as an index of its civilization.

Everyone should do this, in order to keep in good condition. Some people think fruit is an expensive food and therefore something of a luxury. This is not exactly true, however. Fruit supplies certain salts of organic acids which are needed by the body. Many kinds of fruit contain vitamins which should be obtained in our diet. Some fruits have a stimulating action on the kidneys and such as gears, figs and pears as a laxative. Moreover fruit supplies toughage to our diet, which is necessary in helping to regain the howels. All fruits are not expensive. Bananas are a good source of food. They are best when they are very when the brown and are small. If fresh fruits are too expensive for you to serve often, buy dried fruits These are usually cheaper than fresh fruit, and good, if they are cooked properly.

An epoch in the educations. history of Savannah was hailed by the Savannah Tribune in the following term; On next Thursday Savannah will witness the first graduates from a local senior public high school. It is an event which will be epocalal in the history of this city and one which should be acclaimed with gladness by every thinking person of color here. The time was, perhaps, when it was not so essential for every large, community to have a public senior high school, but today it is most necessary. Many of our leading colleges years ago catered largely of the grammar school. Then they want a step higher and accepted only those pupils who had completed the junior high school work. Today several of these colleges will not accept students of this grade and as a result have eliminated all high school students. They are putting the burden of this character of education where it belongs, on the local community. They are specializing in the higher subjects and leaving the preliminary education of youth to the public school system. The twenty-two graduates from this high school will be pioneers in the progressive extension of the Savannah public school system. Discoursing on the subject of "American Brain Poverty," the St. Paul Eckes caustically remarked: One often marvels at the actual absence of real intellectual freedom in the United States. Why is it the mass of people permit certain cacaristic gentleman to suppress freedom of speech, press and assembly? The answer is that the average American is too much of an ass, too stupid and too filled with pork, moonshine and superstition, to worry about anything aside from his belly, a place to play and a soft bed to sleep in. The average man never worries about the suppression of thinking, the censorship of books or of art. The only time recently any large number of us hare protested against restriction of any sort was when prohibition came. And then we only kicked because this act raised the price of whiskey and beer. Our continual complaint is that the rich can get all the liquor they want but is denied to the poor man. Mr. Average American simply can't get any interest in—what seems to him—purely theoretical types of freedom. The plays that he understands and attends are never suppressed. The books that are on his level are gathering dust by the thousands on every library shell. All the art that he knows anything about is unsuppressed in the comic strips every day and in the advertising of the business firms. As to political ideas, he has none except those of his, ward boss. This is a pretty serious indictment, which would lead one to suppose that the Echo editor had taken an overdose of the American Mercury. It is not well to take Mr. Mencken too seriously. Discussing the recent appearance of champion fathers before President Coolidge, a Georgian claiming the paternity of twenty-eight while a North Carolinaian boasted of thirty-four offspring, E.B Rea wrote in the Asheville Enterprise. One thing to another, the glory-grabbing idea struck the black-man, and when it comes to producing kids well, there was a black man going up to what the rumpus was about Uncle Dolph Saunders, of Wilson, had a hunch that he could offer some keen competition. If Mistuh President Coolidge giving any prizes for the biggest passel of kids, said Uncle Dolph, "den I wants he should hold back till I give there. If kids make a great daddy, I'm him. I got thirty-seven kids and all of 'em lives with hawcalgirl' range of my home. He would have made Blank look anatheme and when he resisted no doubt would have guffawed. But Mistuh Coolidge didn't have to hold off. And Uncle Dolph was too much of an amateur to go to Washington. Before Uncle Dolph could "give high kit and caboodle ready," and he wanted to carry 'em all, the daddy of em all appeared Uncle Tom Moore, 70 year old Alamance County farmer, disputed Uncle Dolph's claims. The father's old gentleman from Alamance spoke up and "spreaded himself," "It shore ain't nothing to brag about," as he admitted being the daddy of 42 Moores, 24 by the first wife and 18 by his second. The lists should now be closed and the admonition of the latest case that it's nothing to brag about, be heard to heart. The Norfolk Journal and Guide found cause for encouragement in an admonition made by the Charlottesville Press concerning the repeal of the Marl land crow law. It said Commenting on the recent memorization of the Maryland Incorporated Commission to Governor Rutledge that the Im Crow law be repealed, that lettuceville paper admits that would mean a forward stride for the South, yet its own gauge of Southern sentiment on the Negro question, must it to the belief that the South is ready for this "forward stride." Inborn prejudices, thinks the Progress made more pogon by some erasing memories of reconstruction days will remain. And as long as they remain there can be no repeal of the Im Crow law without trouble. The Charlottesville Progress must be commended for its frank adoration of the justice of repealing the laws, even if it does hink the serious visions at present. The admiration shows that the paper has a discernment of the right and wrong between races. No evils are corrected until there is an admission that they exist, therefore the Charlottesville paper's admission augurs well for more useful race relations. pear to ground for hope, but in view of the recent reactionary legislation in Virginia, it is surprising to find such an omission in the white press.

Theme "The ever invincible and increasing Jesus." Pastor Balden said. For the past two months, I have bee endeavoring to keep before your minds the humour of Jesus. I have attempted to show that Jesus came here, just like any other baby, plus; his little life as a child was like any other child, plus. For a clearer understanding of the historical background, during his babyhood, childhood and early manhood, read the New Testament. In an idea of the people, their customs and habits and also the Jesus our Lord the Emmanuel, as a child was an exceptional one. For people when he tarried at Jerusalem, he sighted the Old Learned Leader, or thought and was found conversing with them. What child today, do you find seeking the older peoples both of thought and teaching, and who feels perfectly at home among them. Leading up to our text for today the people say "And when they saw him, they were amazed; and his mother said unto him, Son why hast thou thus deal with us? Behold, thy father and I have sought thee, sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me wist ye not that I must be about my fathers' business? In this statement of Jesus we see clearly that at a very early age he was conscious of his Sonship to his Heavenly Father "And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and met unto them but the mother kept all these songs in her heart. And his old Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man." he has no record that Jesus our Lord the Emmanuel had any conversation with his parents concerning his parents concerning his three days in the Temple. Neither have we any record about Mary his mother, questioned him concerning what had happened, perhaps his answer to her in the Temple, had stifled any questioning on her part. But little did Jesus then realize that in that same Hall where he attended doctors, lawyers and teachers, write one years hence he was to write before the Sanhedrin, the Tebulah, and hear false accusations made against him. He appealed to the same friend, masters, who became his scholars, some of them would become poison stinging vipes, seeking to sentence him, to death by crucifixion. But such was to be the case. Therefore the question might be asked "What was His Father's business?" From this period on we read he returned home with them and became unhurt or obedient unto them. He went home in the realm of the inner self and learned obedience from his Heavenly Father. He learned not to displease his miraculous power, given him his Father. God until his time should earn when he should according to prophecy come forth. He learned self-control, he learned self-restraint. All of which he was going to need later on in life. Then not only mentally but physically he grew in stature. He learned farm to prune the fruit trees and grade trees, to cut timber, to furnish materials. Joseph's carpenter bushiness. All this darkened his muscles, put a coat of fur on his body, made him strong. This strong body he would need later on, so that he could bear the burdens, the disease and last of all the scourgings and the cross. And the child, Jesus, our Lord the Emanuel grew! he learned to adduce himself to his home surroundings. He made a good impression on the minds of his neighbors and friends. He obeyed the laws of his Father, God and of Man. And he lived a true clean life and grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and Man. And they is the privilege of all who are born in the kingdom of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Those who thus recognize their relation to their heavenly Father, discover their unity in relation to mankind, hence the class of class and race feeling which makes for snobbishness, finds no place in their consciousness. For they realize that the mystical presence of our Lord Jesus Christ the Emanuel is the power of the Spirit of God our Father is manifested, as he said among monks of various conditions and circumstances in among the aisle and three who gather to together pronounce in his name Then tell the Kye say unto them on the hand "Come ye blessed of my father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was an hun- gered and we gave me meat, I was killed and we gave me drink I was killed and ye took me in maked and I led me I was sick and ye killed me I was in prison and we came unto me. Then shall the greatest answer him saying. Lord we we hee an hungered and fear the thirsty and gave thee dinner we we ther a stranger and we we naked and we we say we thee into these. And the answer and say until we say unto you he done it unto one he done it unto me Mrs. S. Barrow for the benefit of the church. Come and enjoy the evenings with us.

CLARKE Hampton Institute, Va.—After two year's absence from the Blue and White basketball schedule, Lincoln returned to administer the first defeat suffered by Coach Williams "brand new". quintet this season. It was no easy victory for the hon cagers, as they trailed the Blue and White for a little less than half the game. The game was well played, full of fight, exciting moments, swift passing, shooting under difficulty, and other things that went to make the affair a fit opening of new relations between the two institutions Hampton took the lead by rolling up six points before Lincoln could get herself together in the first frame. This lead was maintained until the latter part of the half when the Lion eagers made a rally that swept the Blue and White off their feet for the moment. The half-ended with Lincoln holding the larger end of the score. 16-13 Hampton came back strong in the second half, full of determination to snatch the lead, if possible, from their worthy opponents, but Lincoln came back with still more determination to maintain the position they had already secured. This they did, as shown by the final score. 16-13. Hampton came back strong in the second half, full of determination to snatch the lead, if possible, from FIELD & TRACK their sorthy opponents, but Lincoln came back with still more determination to maintain the position they had already secured. This they did, as shown by the final score. Their lead was kept by an art peculiar to the Lincoln basketeers—"freezing" the ball—that is, passing the ball among themselves in Hampton's zone. Baker, in forward, was high-point man for Hampton, turning in three field baskets for six points Taylor and Thatcher covered their guard positions well under the strain of the frequent outbursts of speed exhibited by Coach Young's Lions. As a unit, the "brand new" quintet put up a good fight against the fast aggregation from Chester, Pa. They will have another chance to redeem themselves when the return game is called in Philadelphia on Washington's Birthday. For the Lions Silbera, in forward, was without a doubt the fastest man on the team. He came through as high-point man for eleven points, "Rip" Day, in guard, frequently left his position and sited through the mixture to deposit a basket, and was quite a source of trouble for the Seasiders Coach Young's team is a fast aggregation of dribblers that have to be dealt with seriously.

In securing a lease on this park, the Cubans now have the largest home grounds of any team in the Eastern Colored League. Mr Pomper stated to a representative of The Age that the outlook for 1927 for the Cubans was exceedingly bright. He expects to strengthen his team with a new third baseman, an other pitcher and a catcher. Chacon vetan shortstop, will continue as captain of the team Carlton Y. M. D.

Big Five Loses In one of the well played games of the season, the Big "5" came out on the losing end for the first time. The Physical Culture Club of New York has a fast machine using the well known crossroads attack. On the defense they were equally as strong Carlton tailed to tally a point until the Box! Line and Smith combination entered the game. At the beginning of the second half the visitors had a ten point lead. Excursion was in intense after Smithy and Boxil got away with two baskets each, leaving Physical Culture with a two point lead. THE NEW YORK AGE THEATRICALS Brave Playwright Is Daring Ostracism By Miscegenation Drama By LUCIEN H. WHITE Cherry Lane Theatre, 40 Commerce street, down in the heart of Greenwich Village, has housed, for the past week, a dramatic offering in three acts that strikingly indicates development of the ability on part of some of the modern white playwrights to look the so-called race problem square in the eye, and give courageous expression to critical opinions that recognize the southern white man's fundamental weakness—an ultra-defined "double standard" of judgment in all matters as between the white man and Negro "Stugma" is the title given the play being shown on Cherry Lane boards, and it was written by Dorothy Manley and her husband, Donald Ruff Mr Ruff also interprets the central male character, "Pierre Maynard," who believes that miscegenation will result in the development of a race stronger and more potential than either whites or blacks, eventually to control the government. It is being produced by Edmond Rickett, who plays the part of "Porfessor John Carleton," an elderly college professor, in whose home, in a small university town in Virginia, the scene of the drama is laid. The only other characters in the play are "Elaine Carleton," the professor's wife, enacted by Joanna Roos, and "Mina," the Carleton's housemaid, in which role has been cast Doralyne Spence of Brooklyn, the only colored member of the cast. Briefly, the plot reveals that "Marynard," in his advocacy or miscegenation as a solution, has become enamored of both "Mrs Carlton" and "Mina", and when he discusses his theory with the professor and "Mrs Carlton", the latter gives forcible utterance to her aversion to such a solution, although she admits that the southern white woman has long quietly acquiesced in the maintenance of allict relations between white men and colored women. And she declares that it she discovered such on part of one she loved it would alienate her affections and relations. "Later, "Mina" discloses to "Mavnard" that she is with child, but declares her purpose to prevent its birth. He protested, urging its wonderful possibilities, and painting its future in glowing terms. But she was adamant declaring that much as she wanted the child she would not have it face such a life as she and hers had faced—a brother had been lynched and she had witnessed the execution. And when he begged her to stay, to marry him, to become a part of his life, grasping and holding her in arms, "Mrs Carleton" unexperienced walks in The sight of "Mina" in "Mavnard" arms throws the white woman into hysteria. Then "Mina" is awakened to a knowledge that has changed her love for "Mavnard" and so she bids him goodbye "Mavnard" has lost also his love life, and so he goes out alone into the darkness. The curtain falls as "Mrs. Carleton" seeks the shelter of her husbands arms. Miss Roos, dainty and petite as Ms. Carleton, and Mr. Duff as "Maynard," give characterizations that are capable but both tall somewhat short of their possibilities. Neither is as tragically disposed, either mentally or physically, as is necessary to the most potent interpretation of their roles. Mr. Rickett, as the elderly professor, is more consumming. He has a repression that indicates reserve power when he finds his wife and trusted in love with each other. Much might be said of the work of Miss Spence. Late force is seemingly just about to burst the night the surface but it is always finally restored. There just a hint of self-consciousness that might better be eliminated which comes to the door during her scene with Maynard in the second act but this is forgotten when she softly crosses the Spiritual Swing low sweet chariot soothing and calming, her layers strained leaves. I the Ileana Saderis is the pub- city and bus mass manager, with the Barhash as stage manager. Just how some talks are regarding this presentation may be seen in the fact that on Friday evening there were two telephone calls alleging to be from representatives of the Klu Klux Klan threatening visits of the hooded gang in case the performance was continued. They were given a cordial invitation to come on down, but fail- ed to materialize. And another index is the attitude of the metropolitan dramatic cities who have studiously assumed an open minded discussion on the play and its theme. WILLIAM E.

Debbs and the Pioretes have consented to usher under the direction of Miss Laura Smith "Butterflies In the Rain" At the Roosevelt Theatre Something new in spies' modern pictures is offered at the Rosewood Theatre where "Butterflies in the Rain" is the current feature. This show opened to a well merited capacity audience and Miss Laura La Plante and James Kirkwood kept the crowd gripped from taden to fadeout. This couple was well chosen to bear the histrionic burden of the picture and Edward Sloman was the ideal man to direct. A good story comes out the trio of essentials for the best picture of the month. Miss La Plante glides through the picture like a beautiful comet throwing an aura of tazing sheen about water. The petite blonde behemplied star has never appeared more beautiful or showers herself to be a better actress than in "Butterflies in the Rain." James Kirkwood gives an admirable portrait of an aristocrat, Englishman unaffected by the modern upsetting of consentions. He makes the perfect idealist and carried out his part with the perfection of technique that one has come to expect of Kirkwood. An excellent supporting cast includes Dorothy Cummings, Robert Oher, Dorythy Stokes, Edward Davis, Clarence Thompson and Ruby Lafayette.

The suppressed tension of early war days recently hung over the American Legion Arena in Hollywood. But, it was lightened by rage 1 BUSINESS GIRL'S CLUB PRESENTS FINE GROUP OF ARTISTS AT 137th STREET Y Some 200 or more music lovers jammed the intimate little auditorium of the West 137th street Y. W. C. A. to standing room only capacity on Tuesday evening, February 15, for the first annual musicle of the Business Girl's Club, Miss Flossie Carter, president. And the standard of musical effort by these young women through the calibre of the artists presented on this occasion was of the highest order. The program was arranged by Mrs. MaBelle White Williams, membership club secretary of the Y., who directs the activities of the club group. Mrs. Williams was discriminatory in selection of her artist personnel, and the result was an unusually well balanced offering. A total of women's voices, Mrs Nell Hunter, soprano, Mrs Cora Gary Eledge merzo, Mrs Willie Raines-Mays, contralto, sang two groups of Spirituals, and it has seldom been the lot of this reviewer of musical events to hear three voices blended so admirably. Each distinctly different from the other声 artistically and sympathetically coordinated into one welling harmonies. The permanency of this group would be a distinct contribution to the race's artistic development. Joseph Lymas, violinist, former concert master of the Harlem Symphony Orchestra, gave two numbers, first a Bach group—the Canzonetta, A. deAmbrósio, and the Air for G String, and for a second offering the famous Zugeuerweisen (Gypsy Dance) by deSarasate. It was a masterly performance, the violinist displaying unusual bowing facility and an accurate digital dexterity. His tone was of excellent quality—soft, velvety and colorful, or thrilling and enthusing—as the mood required. Mr. Lymas graciously played an encore number to each group. Mr. Raines Ways, who is soloist in Mt Olivet Church choir, sang Henschel's Murning Hymn with splendid effect, her deep, rich voice pleasing her listeners. As an encore she sang about a "little brown bird singing." Mr. Hunter, who is from Durham, N. C., but here in New York studying singing, sang, in English, Schubert's "Margaret at the Spinning Wheel," and, in Italian, the page's song, "Lieta, Signor," from Meyerbeer's opera, "Gli Ugonotti" (Huguenots). Advance rumors as to this singers' art had stirred interest, and her vocal offering was looked to with anticipation. Her singing confirmed the report that she is an artist, and she was given a most appreciative and enthusiastic reception. Her voice is dramatic in coloring, with coloratura flexibility. In the mezzo register there is a deep vibrant quality, and thus, as the voice ascends towards altissimo, takes oh brilliancy and becomes a flashing light. An exquisite little Lullaby was an added number. The space limitations of the auditorium were an unescapable handicap, confining in too pent a space vocal utterances which would be more effective if given ample room in which to be heard. This same handtap applies also to the voluministic offering of Mr. Lymas. The pianist for the evening was Mrs. Marguerite Kenerly Upshur, a Damrosch Institute of Musical Art product, as is Mrs. Iledge, mezzo in the trio Mrs. Upshur played the accompaniments most gracefully and effectively for all the vocal and violin numbers, and then exhibited her pianistic virtuosity in a group made up of Mendelssohn's Prelude in E Minor and Moskowski's Etincelles. Splendid judgment was shown in the selection of these numbers, as they formed a perfect adjunct to the remainder of the program Mrs. Upshur gave a brilliant and effective rendition, displaying an ample technical and temperament. The concert was for the purpose of raising funds to pay expenses of two of the club girls at the Business Girl's Summer Conference at Maquine, Maine, and it was an appreciated compliment to them that each artist gave service without charge of any sort. In fact, Mr. Lymus cancelled a paying engagement to be present. Miss Carter, the club president, in a felidious little speech, emphasized this courtesy and expressed the club girls' most cordial appreciation. Punch was served in the lobby after the program, and the girls and their guests enjoyed a social hour.

Allen, tenor, chorister at the Emmanuel A. M. E. Church, J. West 1919th street, the Rev D. Ward Nichol, pastor, arranged a particularly attractive program on the occasion of "Musicians' Night," one of the events in connection with a series of evening services arranged by the pastor and church officials. The program was given Tuesday evening, February 8, and conspicuously in the audience were a number of the leading musicians of the community. For this occasion Mr. Allen had procured the voluntary aid of a splendid group of artists, including a maturate classifier as considered a maturate classifier as compared to the more mature (none were really professional) measure up to the high stimuli who marked the various offerings. A mixed quartet, composed of Mimes Baker and Williams, Messrs. Allen and Spenser, sang three numbers with fine effect, indicating capable direction and tithful effort Prof. E. Aldawa Jackson was at the piano Thomas Hubert, a young pianist, evidently a popular character, played Chopin and Ramanannnoff numbers, and Miss Luton Thompson, soprano, who also played a hearty welcome, Rachel Del Rigo with her Roby Teasdale at the piano Miss Teasdale displayed rare vitality as an accompanist. Doris Troutman, soprano, gold medal winner, 1925 in the New York Music Week Association contest, displayed her glorious voice to advantage in the Romania from Mascagnil's "Civille, allera Kuntzauer," in Italian, followed by James' "Little Star," in the vera "Bol" of Jackson, accompany her. Andrea Marguerite Avery, soprano and Morris Caver, tenor, struck the high chord of the evening in singing the tuneful duet, "Parligi o arara (far from Gay Paris)", from La Opera, "La Traviata," rendering in Italian the splendid tails of their voices and charming and agreeable the latter half of the duet, repeated Miss Teas- Wife Mays, contralto soloist Church choir, sang an World's Don Carlos, "Oh with Prof Lorenzo piano and then Hele the Emanuel Church based her versatility by the scale several colors Mr Deer at the piano Wife of the New York master of ceremonies SINGING STUDENTS 209 939 8th Avenue Phone Col 1370 ext. 209 Joint announcement has just been made by Miss Isabel Lowden, director of the New York Music Association and Dr George H Gartlan, director of Public School Music for New York City, that the elementary and high school orchestral and high contests for 1927 will take place during the first two weeks in May.

Helps to heal, too, The 20th day of this month will mark the beginning of a second twelve months since the disappearance of Serena Condy, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew P. Condy of Jamaica, Long Island. It was on the afternoon of February 20, 1926, that Serena kissed her mother and said she was going to call on a Jamaica girl friend, after she had attended to the registering of a business letter which her father had entrusted to her care. She registered the letter, but she never reached her friend's home. Where did she go? How did she go? What caused her to go? These are questions which have remained unanswered for the past twelve months, despite all the effort that have been made to answer them. The services of the press, local detective agencies, both public, and private and even the long arm of the Federal government, have been enlisted in the search, which has been extended into Canada and as far south as Mexico, but the disappearance of the girl is still veiled in mystery. This case is one of the most hailing in the long list of mysterious disappearances during 1926. Here was a girl just approaching womanhood (she was in her eighteenth year at time of disappearance); pretty, healthy and carefree. There was nothing in her home and social life indicating dissatisfaction or trouble. With her parents, she was the personification of an obedient and loving daughter. Among her girl friends, she had the reputation of possessing an unusually amiable and winning disposition. In fact, they have described her as being a high type of girl, the sort of girl that would break rather than bend the wrong way. Nothing in her conduct denoted intrigue of any sort. Yet, she dropped out of sight of family and friends as suddenly and mysteriously as if the earth had opened up and enclosed her in its depths. It is not to be wondered that the father should look just a little more aged; that his humorous eyes should begin to show signs of wistfulness; that the term of "brother-in-law" which he jocularly applies to all his fellow-workers should be a little less spontaneous. And there is the mother. It is the mother in every case, in whose breast the thought perennially burns, that while there is life there is hope. in the heart of the mother of Serena that thought still burns, even though it has dwindled from a bright glow to a mere glimmer. It is she who leads the family prayer every way with the supplication, "Heavenly Father, hold Thy Hand of protection over our missing child." Aside from the pathetic phases of the case, there are incidental features which have been most annoying to the family. Unscrupulous persons offer clues which they know are false, and usually it is some one wanting money. A man came to the family recently declaring he knew Serena's whereabouts, but he wanted five dollars for his information. But despite the number of anonymous and fake clues that are given them, the parents are not unmindful of the sincerity which actuates many of the messages they receive. For these they are grateful, and will continue in this feeling for information that has any semblance of value or trustworthiness. They also wish to thank their friends, the press and various other agencies, for the sympathy and efforts given in the case. The only thing that causes a 'cloud to drift over thirty-eight years of happily married life (which was passed on January 23) is the 'unanswered question: "Where is Serena?" Picked Up Here And There A New York Assemblyman, according to a news story in the Evening Telegram last week, contemplates introducing a law in this State requiring the railroads to operate on all-Pullman trains club smokers for women travelers the same as they do for men travelers. The Assemblyman is quoted as decrying the inequality of smoking accommodations for women on de-luxe trains. Evidently, this gentleman is unfamiliar with the arrangements which have been made on these trains for the fair sex, or he knows little about their needs as smokers. In the first instance, nearly all deluxe trains are now operated by smoking accommodations who smoke. Secondly, it is doubtful that the majority women who smoke would care for a regular women's smoking car despite the prevalence of the smoking habit among them, it is only a certain type bold enough to smoke openly on a train. If this legislator really wishes to do something for womankind regarding the smoking habit, it might not be out of place to suggest that he introduce a bill prohibiting girls under 18 from smoking. Although it has always borne the reputation of being calm and conservative itself when discussing racial matters of an argumentative character, The Age was the innocent cause of a heated argument between two men, one black and the other white, in the exclusive Berkshire Club (white) of North Adams, Mass., last week. "The black man is the steward of the club," the white man was a visitor. The argument began in this way: the visitor came across a copy of the book and had it, a colored paper, didn't know colored people and newappers of their own." On yes, replied the steward, "they have everything in the United States but a law break." Colored people are treated all right in this country as long as they behave themselves, averred the clubman, that was too much for the steward, who has been raised in Manasquan, he proceeded to ask the vulture, none the courteously, what was the correct behaviour for colored people to assume to be considered believing themselves? Went to be brief, one word brought on another, firmly, the white man allowed that he "had come into contact with colored people all his life" and that he "knew all about them." We said, the steward, "you do not know all about them, let you just rest assured that you didn't they ed- papers of your own." We said, the steward, "that he had been in the little grabbed his hat in the gesture and left the can."

Mrs. Hayford told something of the work she is doing in the Girls Vocational School which she founded, and considerable interest was evinced. The offering for the day was given to Mrs. Hayford and, in addition, there were pledges made toward scholarship funds.

Pullman A movement to erect a monument to the memory of the late George M. Pullman, founder of the Pullman Company is about to be begun by George L. Ford, veteran Pullman Porter of the Pennsylvania Terminal District. In interview Mr. Ford stated to the Age: "It is true that *a* majority of the porters who have been in the service of the Pullman. Company for a great many years are not in sympathy with the movement begun by A. Philip Randolph and others to affiliate the porters with the Federal Department of Labor of itself the guise of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. "In fact, the majority of the porters want all of the agitation and propaganda which is being spread by Mr. Randolph and his group stopped, as they feel that no good can come from such agitation and the other hand must be insisted in result. In a matter issued by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in recent newspapers, including the Sunday edition of the New York Wold of January 29, 1927, it is stated that the porters received $7,000,000 in tips from the public and that the porters direct the abolition of tipping. It seems that those who want tipping abolished are the persons who are not now Pullman porters. "It is claimed that the porters want a living wage. I quite agree that the porters do want a living wage, which they now receive, but on the other hand they do not want the tipping 400 This Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is not handing out to the public true information concerning the Pullman porters, and I propose to organize a counter movement the purpose of placing the true facts before the public, and for the further purpose of representing the true side of the Pullman porters' ease to the arbitrators, before whosoit the Brotherhood has placed the matter of the Packer Dill. "Thousands of dollars have passed in the hands of the men who are heading this investment to organize Pullman portora. I propose to have an investigation made to ascertain where these funds have gone. What has become of the money that has been collected? Are these people defrauding the public or enchanting the porter?" "Let us atop for a second and analyze the situation that now exists. The Pullman portora's position is one that has been held by colored men ever since the founding of the Pullman Company. In the first place the job was not one that required skilled labor. The colored man has been able to use this position with only in making a sketch, but at a stepping stone to pullman and to professional attentions. Throughout all the years colored men have been employed in their jobs, never has a white porter been placed on a job. "It would be perfectly sane to unilionize skilled workers, such as men who work among machines and in factories where the position cannot be filled with white manpower." --- vis, Eernest Davis, Floyd Franklin, George A.

This has been instanced in several cases recently. But, the Pullman-porter's job has been one that has been made by the colored man. It should remain with him, and remain with him unmolested by any radical interference from selfish individuals "Along with the counter movement to the Brotherhood, I propose to go to the colored people of this country, and particularly to Pullman service and have been in Pullman service and have used the Pullman Company as a stepping stone to success, and raise funds for the erection of a monument in appreciation of the great service that the late George M. Pullman rendered the colored people of this country" Aside from his position with the Pullman Company, Mr. Ford operates a barber shop at 2155 Seventh avenue Hope Day Nursery To Celebrate 25th Anniversary Hope Day Nursery To Celebrate 25th Anniversary Hope Day Nursery. 33 West 13rd street, is planning to celebrate its Silver Jubilee during the entire week of March 13.

Only 60 persons competed in the recent examination for Food Inspector. This is due to the fact that the City set the requirements too difficult for the persons most likely to compete in such tests. Since more than a hundred food inspectors were needed to fill existing vacancies, another examination must be lis Huggins, teacher in a New York high school who spoke on the "Negro and Education."

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 down to the base of the beard. (3) That's where 'softening really counts. That's where the razor does its work. When the beard is properly softened at the base with Colgate—a razor pull is entirely banished. Buy a tube of Colgate—a then compare it with any other shaving method you may have used.

GENERAL INSURANCE 200 W. 135th Street Room 114 Phone Edgecombo 3831 Stenography New York Acaden 441 LENOX A New York When James Johnson of 236 East 127th street came to New York nearly a decade ago he was seeking an opportunity to better his economic condition. In the South he had learned the trade of repairing umbrellas, hand bags and other leather articles. But when he arrived in the Metropolis his trade completely monopolized the market, and was with some misgivings that he opened a small shop in Harlem some six or seven years ago. It was not long long, however, before he discovered there was room for himself and other races as well in this business. With a bundle of umbrellas on his back and a bell in his hands to attract the attention of passersby, Johnson may be seen in the summer or on any clear day around the streets of uptown Manhattan. Housewives and merchants give him their umbrellas and they make the repairs on simple the makes the repairs on the spot, in other cases he takes the umbrellas to his shop where he can give it better attention, returning it after the repairs have been made. He also repairs book-bags for the school children of Harlem and is a familiar sight around its streets. Because of the fact that his competitors ate all white, he attracts more attention and gets more jobs. To an Age reporter he stated the business of repairing umbrellas in New York is a lucrative one, especially when you are an expert.
