NEW YORK, N. Y. SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1927.
Scant Courtesy Shown Harlemites Who Journeyed To Albany In Behalf New 7th District Municipal Court
Members of a delegation of Harlem citizens who went to Albany to urge Governor Alfred E. Smith sign the bill passed by the recent State Assembly providing for a change of boundaries in the 7th Municipal Court District of the Borough of Manhattan were shown scant consideration and what approached very near to brusque discourtesy by His Excellency when the hearing was finally had, according to statements from individuals who were present.
The delegation, which left New York City at 8:30 a.m. were in the executive chambers at 11:40 a.m. but it was nearly four hours later before they were heard by Gov. Smith.
And when the Municipal Court Bill was finally taken up, the hearing was hardly started. before the Governor abruptly brought it to a termination with the rude comment, "Oh, what's the use."
M. E. CHURCHES IN NEW YORK CITY TO KEEP OLD PASTORS
Drs. Robinson and Cullen Returned To St. Mark's
The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal of the Kill Assembly District provided for the establishing of an additional Municipal Court, District, with an additional justice, and as this division would throw the new district almost entirely in Harlem, it was believed that a colored lawyer would be elected to fill the judicial station. A similar bill last year had been veted by Gov. Smith, but it was hoped he would see this Bill in a more favorable light.
Opposition Heard In Full
Assemblyman Grenchal headed the delegation, and he introduced former Assemblyman Pope Billups as spokesman for the bill. But before Mr. Billups was heard, the opposition was given its chance, with Stewart Browne, president of the United Real Estate, Owners' Association, Charles Eidt, vice-president of the Yorkville Taxpayers' Association, and Assistant Corporation Counsel Walter Caughlin as spokesmen.
Mr. Browne, supplementing other objections, declared that the bill was primarily an appeal by Grenchal to the Negro voters of Harlem, as it would, practically assure the election of a Negro judge. He was supported in this argument by Mr. Eidt, who urged also that it would mean increased tax rate.
The Assistant Corporation Counsel asserted that the bill was opposed by the entire City Administration as being of a purely political character and in conflict with the home rule principle.
Bill Is Vitally Necessity.
Following these speeches, Mr. the poor man's court and urged approval of the bill as a vital necessity in the Harlem community. He called attention to the indiscriminate fact that the present 7th District Municipal Court in West 12th street had a calendar crowded daily, far beyond its capacity; that while the average Municipal Court district population was only 190,000, the 7th District embraced a population of 458,000; that there were from 200 to 250 cases on the daily calendar, and that it was more difficult to get a trial than in the Supreme Court.
Referring to the injection of the color question by Browne and Elldt Mr. McIlhill argued that the race is entitled to a place on the bench of the poor man's court and urged that as an additional reason why the Governor should sign the Bill.
Kepented unrest and apparent dissatisfaction in the congregations of St. Marks and Salem M. E. Churchies, which seemed pointed toward bringing about a change in the pastorates of these two congregations, were of no avail, so far as getting results were concerned, for when Bishop Theodore S. Headersort of Cincinnati, presiding over the New York Conference which met in New York City at the Park Avenue M. E. Church, East 86th street, read the appointments for 1927-28 on Monday evening, April 4, both congregations found themselves with their same pastors for another year. The Rev. Dr. J. W. Robinson, who came to New York to succeed the late Rev. Dr. William H. Brooks upon the latters retirement and who has carried forward the work of erecting a magnificent cathedral in Harlem which was begun by Dr. Brooks, remains at St. Marks, and if there has been any desire among the membership for a change it was not sufficiently defined to be of any marked effect.
Opposition Without Effect.
Opposition to the return of the Rev. Dr. Frederick A. Cullen to Salem M. E. Church, which culminated several weeks ago in what was alleged to be a stormy congregational meeting, in which the opposition was led by the Rev. George W. Allen, who had been deposed as a local preacher, and who charged Dr. Cullen with discriminatory actions, was evidently not considered by Bishop Henderson in arranging his slate. The Rev. R. A. Bolden, who has been assistant pastor of St. Marks for a number of years, and who formerly was also pastor of the Epworth congregation in the Bronx, is continued, in his position. The Rev. C. H. Andrews, who was sent to Epworth M. E. Church, the Bronx, when Rev. Bolden was required to give his full time to St. Mark's, has done a splendid work up in that section and is returned for further service. All of the churches reported splendid progress during the past year.
The three New York City churches, named are the only colored congregations retaining membership in the New York Conference, the other colored congregations being grouped in the Delaware and Washington Conferences, with colored district superintendents.
Chicago, Ill.—Through the almost unanimous support of Negro voters, William Hate Thompson, Republican, was elected mayor for the third time on Tuesday after one of the bitterest municipal campaigns waged in years. Thompson defeated the present mayor, William E. Dever, by 60,000, almost the exact size of the Negro vote. Every eligible voter was gotten out to the polls on Tuesday. Cripples and old people were brought to the polls in wheel chairs and automobiles. The total vote was the largest ever polled here in an "off" year. It was within a few thousand of a million votes. Because of the presence of the race and religious issues in the campaign, violence was feared and several thousand members of the State Militia, armed with machine guns and rifles, assisted the police in maintaining order. However, there were no serious outbreaks and the police say the election was the most orderly Chicago has had in 17 years.
OLD FLORIDA LAW
CITED BY McGILL
TO SAVE CLIENTS
Now Attorney General Is
Asking Legislature To
Change The Laws
Jacksonville, Fla.—When the
Legislature of Florida met on
April 5, one of the first bills to
be introduced was a bill to abolish
the common law writ of coram nobis now in force in Florida.
This writ has been recognized
as the law in this state for more
than one hundred years. No use
of it, however, had ever been made
until the recent cases of Abe Washington and Charles Brown were carried to the Supreme Court of Florida.
Charles Brown, who is a Southern white man, was to be electrocuted early in February, but was saved by a writ of coram nobis issued by the Supreme Court just a few hours before the time for him to die.
Abe Washington (colored) was convicted early in 1923, was sentenced to be hanged under the law in Florida at that time; before the sentence of the Court to the hang the prisoner could be carried out the Legislature of Florida passed a law abolishing capital punishment by hanging, without any reservations, and substituted death by electrocution as a mode of capital punishment.
McGill Uses Old Law
S. D. McGill, attorney for the condemned man, resisted the efforts of the State to inflict death upon his client by electrocution in as much as the law was passed after the sentence of the Court of the accused to be hanged. He also objected to the infliction of death upon his client by hanging upon the ground that there not now any law for hanging in Florida. He was over ruled by the various courts in Florida on this ground and that the common law of corn nobis was restored to, and, this has succeeded in keeping both Brown and Washington living a long title after the dates set for their deaths. In the Washington case the governor took a hand in it and sought to inflict death upon Washington by starvation. That is, he directed the County Commissioners to withhold from Washington the necessities of life, such as food and water, etc. Washington has eaten at least five dinners, but he still lives and his case is on the ducklet of the Trial Court of this County for trial with the right to appeal to the State Court and the Supreme Court of the U. S.
THE LATE H. ABDOLPH HOWELL
The apartment of the late Howard Adolph Howell, 55, who died on Saturday, following a brief illness, was thronged from Monday to Wednesday with sorrowing friends of both races who came to pay a final tribute to their departed brother.
Funeral services were held Wednesday night at the Howell Funeral Chapel, 2332 Seventh avenue, and on Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at St. David's L. E. Church, in the Bronx. The Rev. E. G. Clifton, rector, officiated at both services. Interment was at Woodlawn Cemetery, under direction of Undertaker C. Leon Fattwick.
The late Mr. Howell, immigrated to this country from Barbados, B. W. I., his home, about thirty years ago. He secured work as a waiter in the lunch room of what is now John Wannakamers Store. He saved his money and began looking around for some business in which he might engage. After a careful study of the field he decided to become an undertaker and gave up his job to enter an embalming school.
for $72,000 and remodeled the first floor into the finest funeral church owned by Negroes in the country. He maintained a garage on West 143rd street and a stock of Pierce Arrow funeral cars, and hearses the largest equipment owned by a colored undertaker in New York.
ATTORNEY CAREY
DENIES ATTACKING
NEGRO DOCTORS
Says He Did Not Charge Doctors and Realtors
Laid Buzinas Foundation.
Upon completion of the course Mr. Howell began the struggle as a young undertaker and for a long time just managed to make a living. However he was blessed with a pleasing personality and had 'soon won many friends, especially in fraternal circles, in which he was very active. During this period he laid a firm foundation for the development of his business which came in later years. So well established had his business become by 1918 that he was given the funeral of the late Mine C. J. Walker, which go to that time was the biggest ever held in Harlem. Since then he handled many important funerals and shipped bodies to all parts of the world.
Three years ago he purchased the former Y W W. A dormitory at 17th street and Seventh avenue
for $2,200 and remodeled; the first floor into the finest funeral chateau owned by Negrogs' in the country He 'maintained a gatage on West 143rd street and a stock of Pierce Arrow funeral cars' and hearers the largest 'equipment owned by a colored undertaker in New York.
ATTORNEY CAREY DENIES ATTACKING NEGRO DOCTORS Says He Did Not Charge Doctors and Realtors As Against Lawyers
In reporting a meeting of the Harlem Lawyers' Association at which attacks were made on the local Negro press by Attorneys Verbal Williams and Richard F. Carey, it was stated that Mr. Carey charged Negro doctors and real estate men with also being a handicap to the lawyers by not giving them their patronage. Mr. Carey writes the editor of the Age denying that he made any reference to Negro doctors in his address.
The doctors, and real estate men were brought into the discussion which followed the addresses of Mr. Williams and Mr. Carey. Not only was the charge made against the physicians but several of the members suggested that the Association's attitude be made known to the medicos.

Carter, recently named by President Coolidge, as Minister Resident and Consul General to the Republic of Liberia, the nomination being confirmed by the Senate, was in New York this week and confirmed the report that he had declined the Liberian portfolio. Instead, he has been appointed as Consul at Calais, France, and sailed from New York for his new post.
Mr. Carter's decision leaves the Liberian post open and, many of the disappointed aspirants are energizing their influences in the hope of securing the coveted appointment.

State police and deputy sheriffs guarded the jail, which occupies the first floor of the sheriff's home. Feeling against the prisoner was growing tense and frequent threats to lynch him were made by the crowd.

AARON E. MALONE REPORTED TO HAVE JUMPED FROM SECOND STORY WINDOW IN MENTAL FIT
Friends Keeping Watch Over Him, Fearing Collapse, Were Eluded, and Excited Man Fled Crying 'MURDER! POLICE!' and Charging Friends Wanted To Kidnap Him
Report Is That When New York Friend Called On Malone Last Week He Was Greeted With Copious Applications Of Toilet Powder, and Later, In Public, With Kiss
St. Louis, Mo.—Despite the vigilant alertness of several friends who, it is alleged, regard his mental condition as below normal and have been guarding him constantly, Aaron E. Malone, husband of Mrs. Annie Pope Turnbo Malone, founder of Poro College, is reported as having eluded his watchers and to have leaped from the second story window of 4212 W. Cook avenue, the home of Prof. and Mrs. Robert Jackson, friends with whom he has been living since he left Poro College after filing suit for divorce from his wife and demanding a division of the Poro College assets.
Seizing a favorable opportunity, Saturday evening, April 6, Malone ran to a closed window, smashed the glass and crashed through to the street below, carrying the entire sash, frame with him. He was saved from serious gashes from the glass by the window curtains in which he became entangled.
Screamed "Murder."
As he struck the ground, he jumped to his feet and ran off into the darkness, screaming: "MURDERI POLICE!" and crying out that his friends were trying to kidnap him. "Don't let them change lawyers on me," he shouted; "Foristell (his white attorney) will run me if they change lawyers,' implying evidently that the white lawyer was in possession of evidence which would be fatally damaging to Malone if Foristell was angered by being supplanted as Malone's counsel.
SLAYER OF "JIM"
EUROPE FREED ON
PAROLE IN BOSTON
Herbert Wright Served 8
Of 12-Year Sentence
For Manslaughter
Boston, Mass.-Herbert Wright, trap drummer, who killed Lieutenant James ("Jim") Reese Europe, leader of the famous "Old 15th N. Regiment Band," here m. 1919, was released from prison on March 10, after serving 8 years of a 10 to 12 year sentence for manslaughter. Wright had been conducting the prison band here for several years and is now organizing and will conduct a civilian band. The murder of Lieutenant Europe the height of his popularity came as a result of an argument with Wright during an engagement here. In the altercation which followed, Europe was stabbed and died shortly after from the wounds. Wright pleaded guilty of manslaughter.
The late Lieutenant James Reese Europe was the founder and was for many years head of the Chel Club of New York City. He also organized the band for the Old Fifteenth Regiment under Col. Hayward and while that regiment was overseas introduced and popularized jazz music among the soldiers of the allied forces. The band had just started a tour of the country when its leader was killed.
The Rev. George Brewer, a friend to Malone, led the police in search for the runaway man that led into alleys and areaways, behind garbage cans and down in cellars, using flashlights to spy out every dark corner, but to no avail.
Moved to East St. Louis.
Finally a white family, living on Page avenue, telephoned the police that a strange Negro man was in their home, having been taken in when found prowling around their door. Officers responded immediately and took Malone to the Colored City Infirmary, People's Hospital, No. 2, but, through the efforts of friends Malone was released to Dr. O. S. McGhelland, local colored physician, about 2 a.m., and returned to the Jackson home.
Shortly afterwards, another, violent spell cannied on and Malone is reported to have made another attempt to escape. Fearing interference by the local authorities, friends spirited Malone away to St. Mary's Hospital in East St. Louis, a Catholic institution. It is reported that following an attempt to jump through a hospital window, around 6 o'clock Sunday morning, Malone was strapped to a cot for the rest of the day.
Powder and Kiss for Thompson.
Oddities of conduct attributed to Malone within recent days have been described by his friends. Ono incident; it is said, happened during the recent annual conference of the National Urban League when Noah H. D. Thompson, now business manager of the League's magazine, "Opportunity," formerly a newspaper man in Los Angeles, Cal., was in the city. Thompson called on Malone, it is reported, and Malone exhibited his pleasure at seeing his old friend by taking a towel and canister of talcum powder and powdered Thompson's face most copiously. Later, it is alleged, Malone attended a session of the conference, which was held in the People's Finance Building, and when he copied Thompson, rushed over to him and kissed him with gusto, much to Thompson's embarrassment and to the undisguised amazement of onlookers. Mrs. Malone was out of the city and had been for several days, and could not be reached for a statement. The belief is general that Malone's lawyers will urge his condition as an excuse for further postponement, but the probability is that Mrs. Malone's attorneys will fight this, and demand that the issue be tried at once or the receiver be removed.

some ‘of-whomishe had found time

His attitude’ of opposition to the
Dill was plainly Shown, not only
in the near-discourtesy with which
he treated thé delegation, which
brought humiliationsand embarass-
‘ment to Assemblyman -Grenthal,
‘but also in the tenor of -his re-
marks to the’ delegacion.” He told
them that pe saw no need for an

the bench now would function
properly thefe would be. no con-
gestion of the’ calendar: that the
justices should attend to thei
court duties instead’ of wasting
time at the Fees,
With considerable heat and av-
perity, the Governor referred tc
the City Administration's -hostliti
toward. the proposed — legislation.
He accused the Legislature of ias-
ing ball with the Municipal Cour

Declaring that Negro leaders in Harlem are not lagging behind leaders in other groups to bring social work aid to their people in distress, Dr. E. P. Roberts, of the Adivoery Committee of Harlem office of the Charity Organization Society, 71 East 125th Street, has given out the figures, not yet made public, of the organization's work last year in Harlem.
51970 was spent here last year in cash relief to our people in trouble, and $4,740 more was spent by the C. O. for the salaries of our Negro workers in the Harlem office said Dr. Roberts. Of every patient that comes into my office—otherwise I'd be a poor doctor and might suggest medicine that would harm them rather than cure.
we are not interested in help our poor people in their trouble, but only out of trouble the most perplexing situation have to deal with and want up before our Adviser committee, which is purposefully both colored and white clothes or Harlem.

Would Welcome Affiliation.
We welcome affiliations to the Negro groups who want to work people in a constructive board member—at the office—I know the C. O. S. school interested in training leaders for Social Work, and several students now at the social work, 105 22nd Street who are prepared to take positions in the profession. The colleges are as卑卑 being encouraged by School to send their students to postgraduate training. Our own trained Negro work in the Harlem branch of the C.O.S. are doing a splendid work. They do not just give a family temporary help and leave them to face their troubles alone, but patient, stick by the family until all trouble is past and they are financially independent again.
Naturally, these workers investigate before they suggest the plans to the family which, they feel will solve their troubles," said Dr. Roberto. "I investigate the condition

Superficial Help Harmful.
"It's the same with social work. If our visitors should go to see a family where there is unemployment and, without, investigating, should get the man a job, pay the rent and then drop them for good—I would say they were doing a poor job. We've seen too much superficial work done. Just this winter there was such a case. When the C. O. S. finally heard about it they found that whereas this well-meaning person wanted to help the family, he had harmed them instead. The father, they found, should have been sent to a tuberculosis sanitarium instead of a factory. The case was never investigated so nobody knew the man's real trouble was tuberculosis. Now it may be too late to cure him.
Investigation also proved, that the oldest boy had been stealing and growing up wrong. The C. O. S. hopes it is not too late to save him. They referred the situation at once to the minister and are going to send the boy to a 'good place' summer vacation, away from bad conditions. The allowance of $25 a week will be given the mother and children while the father is away at the sanitarium.
Saving The Home.
It may take six months to a year for him to get well. This means that the C. O. S. will have to raise over $1,000 for just the children family. They could let the home be broken up and the children sent to institutions, but they will not let such a hardship befall this family.
"Social investigation" continued Dr. Roberts, "is misunderstood. Most people think our workers investigate because they don't believe the family. That isn't the reason at all. They investigate for the reasons a doctor does. Till you know all the facts you cannot give intelligent advice. "No family under the care of our Harlem C. O. S. has ever suffered while its case was being investigated, concluded, Dr. Roberts. "We have a rule that immediate help shall be given, pending investigation if the family is in immediate need. "The next meeting of our Harlem Advisory Committee at 71 East 125th street is May 2. I wish I could report at that time that the office had been overwhelmed with offers of service and financial support from our people!"

Philip Downing, Boston, Retires After 31 Years Service In Custom House
Boston, Mass.—Philip B. Downing, 70 years of age, has retired from active service after thirty-one years in the custom house. He is receiving a pension.
Mr. Downing is the only living son of the lake George T. Downing, the abolitionist friend of Sumner, Grant and Garrison, and is a grandson of the Downing who established the Capitol Restaurant in Washington, which was frequently termed "The Third Hall of Congress."
Philip Downing was born in Providence and is said to be the oldest surviving member of his family, one of the most distinguished among the "colored families of America. He is a widower, his wife having died a little more than a year ago.
His inventions have been of note, including an electric switch for street railways and a mail box, and some improvements for radio sets. He plans, now that retirement will afford him more leisure, to amplify his work along this line.
He owns collections of bric a brac, some more than 300 years old, and of considerable value, and he possess letters written in his father and to himself from many of the most distinguished men and women of ante- and post-bellum days. An object of interest and sentimental value is a walking cane made from a spike used by one of the soldiers in John Brown's army at Harper's Ferry, which was presented originally to his father by the man who made it.
After 2 Months of Work
Ridge, Md.-The health campaign of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, in connection with the National Negro Health Week, began on February first and will close on April 10, the official closing of "Health Week."
A few weeks residence on the Western Shore of Maryland made plain the futility of attempting to do health work in widely separated localities over bad roads, in a week.
Two full months are needed in such thinly, settled districts.
This year all of the vital points necessary for healthy farm life has been included. The territory covered reaches from Washington to the Chesapeake Bay.
29 communities taking part were located in Prince Georges, Charles, St. Mary's, Kent' and Montgomery counties.
During February and March the Institute conducted meetings in 12 centrally located communities in Charles and - St. Marys Counties, beslide.meetings held at the Institute itself. Attendance was good. The Bushwood meeting had the largest attendance, with over one hundred and fifty persons present. Approximately seven hundred farm people have been reached through these meetings and the total number of families actually working for improved conditions this year, will exceed one thousand.
The final meeting to which all workers are invited will be held at the Institute April 10 a.m. 2 p.m. Among the speakers are to be Dr. W. P. Dickerson of Newport News, Va.; John C. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, Washington, the Rev. John LaFarge, New York City; Dr. Marle B. Lucas, Washington D. C.
New Trial For Davis
Winstboro, S. C.-Attorney L. G. Southard of Spartanburg has won from the State Supreme Court a reversal of the conviction of Jim Davis, a Negro, who killed a white man who came to the Davis home to take away the two daughters. A change of venue is also granted. Mr. Southard, who defended the Lowmans in Aiken, was in New York and enlisted the cooperation of the N. A. A. C. P., in arranging for the trial and in securing additional local counsel to aid him in securing additional local counsel to aid him in securing justice for the colored man.
Dr. Edwin Mims of Vanderbilt University In Eloquent Plea For Adherence To Substantial Things of Life As Exemplified In The Life Of Dr. Washington
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—In the Institute chapel, where for years the late Booker T. Washington presided, Dr. Edwin Mims of Vanderbilt University, author of "The Advancing South," delivered the annual Founder's Day address Tuesday afternoon, April 5, eulogizing Tuskegee Institute's founder as a well balanced leader who "kept his feet on the ground and found the ideal in the real," and urging continued fidelity to the philosophy of his life.
Founder's Day exercises are hold each year in commemoration of the life work of Dr. Washington an din conjunction with the semi-annual meeting of the Tuskegee Institute board of trustees which regularly brings to the Institute a number of distinguished Americans.
Board of Trustees Present.
Among those present this year were Dr. William Jay Schieffelin of New York, chairman of the board of trustees; C. A. Wickersham, member of the board, president of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, and W. W. Alexander, director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, both of Atlanta, and a party of sixteen from Chicago, headed by Julius Rosenwald, trustee and philanthropist, including Professor William E. Dodd of the University of Chicago, Alfred K. Stern, executive director of the Rosenwald Fund, and others.
Before this, group, and the students and faculty of the Institute and the country folk of the district—a representative cross section of American life—Dr. Mims made his plea for adherence to the substantial things of life as exemplified by the life of Dr. Washington.
Loved People Above All.
"He was patient without being negative or supine—patient with the limitations of human nature and with the means by which things are changed slowly, slowly through the years." Thus Dr. Mims characterized the Tuskegee sage.
"He was magnanimous even towels his emuism and calm in an emergency or crisis. He had courage not only to face a hostile audience but seemingly impossible conditions." He loved his people more than he loved the approval
of all of them at all times. He was, an idealist, but he kept his feet on the, solid grind and found the ideal in the 'heal. He believed that economic efficiency and made well-being are foundation programs in education and culture, but no one could ever justly accuse him' of being a metailist or a Philistine.
"He had intelligence—good common sense touched with wisdom—but he was not an 'intellectual', he had humor, but he was not a smart alex or cynic. He was an optimist, but not a sentimental fool who ignored facts or followed the line of least resistance. He was rational, but he had that adventurous faith that transcends logic and science. He was a liberal or progressive, but not a radical; for he knew that the world was filled in day by day, he was willing to work with the means at hand and to welcome the second best if thereby he could come to a working agreement with his fellows.
Rugged Maxims of Life.
"He might easily have inflamed a race; he preferred to lead it in the ways of sanity and wisdom. He was not a sensational, brilliant writer, engaging in pyrtechnics of rhetoric, but his rugged marms were hewn from life, as when he said that an inch of progress is better than a yard of complaint, and 'No one can drag me down so low as to make me hate him.'" Warning against the jazz age which threatens black and white America alike, Dr. Mims declared "We need your Spirituals, but not your jazz; your faith, but not your superstition. Let your humor remain as a fountain of innocence joy rather than cesspool of vulgarity. Let the school and the church retain your fealty. rather than the cabaret. Let the rhythm of your
Prominent Negroes Attend.
H. L. Mencio, critic and editor of the American Mercury, is "the high priest of the cult of sinners in America," according to Dr. Mims, who charged him with being the commander-in-chief of the campaign being waged against the homely virtues of American life.
Among, prominent; Negroes attending the exercises the exercises were C. C. Spaulding of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company; Victor Tulane, member of trustee board, Montgomery, Alabama; Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburg Courier; Lester A. Walton, staff correspondent of New York World, Pearl Albernalby of the People's Finance Company of St. Louis, Mo.; Joseph Geddes of New Orleans; P. D. Dav' is of the Birmingham Civile League; Dr. W. F. Boddie, cashier of the Citizens' Trust Company, Atlanta, Benjamin J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent; and Berry O'Kelly, of Method, North Carolina
Drop Charges Against
Patrolman Leon Harris
After a preliminary hearing before the grand jury, on Friday, charges of felonious assault, filed against Patrolman Leon Harris of the 16th Precinct by James Mitchell of 112 West 131st street, were dismissed.
Mitchell charged that the police man was intoxicated and had assaulted him on Severth avenue on Monday, March 28.

Advice To Women
[Picture of a woman with dark hair and a necklace.]
New York, N. Y. "For eighteen years I suffered. My doctor said there was no, help 'for me but an operation, which I did not want. In February 1926 I was taken down in bed, and was in bed for three months. I thought I would die. One day I was reading the paper and saw Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription advertised. I sent and got a bottle of it and some of Dr. Pierce's Lotion Tables. I used them according to directions and they did me so much good that I wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice and he advised me to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, 'Golden Medical Discovery' and to use the 'Lotion Tables.' Now I feel better than I have felt in eighteen years."—Mrs. Alice A. Brown (picture above) 309 West 147th street. All dexteres sell Dr. Pierce's medicines.

The Star of Zion agrees with the New York Age that the reckless habit of making serious charges and instinations against bishops is "getting monotomous."
"It is undermining the respect and confidence of the community at large, not only in this; bishops who are charged with such mis-conduct, but in the church that tolerates and supports such conditions."
If the bishops are guilty as charged, the men who make the allegations against them should have the courage to submit their charges in writing, demand a trial, or shut up. These perilent charges also react, against the man who makes them. He is thoroughly examined in all his parts and practices; his motives, in the

absorbing two volume tragedy of modern American life. Carl Van Vechten put another American youth 5f just as weak moral stamina and greater ambitions in the hectic heat of Harlem night life, with all his strivings, for success frustrated through the incident of his color, and produced another American tragedy. More recently, the editor of the Chicago Journal of Commerce, in reviewing the conditions surrounding the Negroes of that city, pronounced the problem of discouraging immigration of that sort through the denial to the race of decent facilities for living as constituting one of the basic tragedies of American life.
According to this editor, more than five per cent. of Chicago's population consists of Negroes, their numbers having been increased through Southern immigration to 160,000. In 1925 the death rate in Chicago was the lowest of any city of a million or more, it being 11.5 per thousand. But the death rate among the Negroes was 22.5, "a rate exceeded only by two of the most unhealthy cities of the world, Bombay and Calcutta." The causes for this excessive death rate among this class of Chicago's population are directly charged to municipal and civic neglect to provide the Negro sections with agencies that promote health. An important factor in prolonging these conditions is said to be the opposition of the whites of Chicago to continued Negro immigration. Any effort to give the Negroes decent living facilities, they argue, would tend to encourage increased immigration.

DOUBLING UP IN HOUSING.
This contention that the shortage of adequate housing among lower priced apartments still exists seems to have been established to the satisfaction of the lawmakers of New York State, who extend the rent laws for the protection of tenants from grasping landlords. Although the housing emergency following the war was reported to have been ended by new construction, the housing conditions have not been satisfactorily adjusted for those of limited means. This was proven by that portion of the report of the State Housing Commission relating to overcrowding. This term itself is elastic, as the occupancy of a four-room apartment by six persons is not considered overcrowding by authorities on housing conditions.
This argument is stigmatized by the editor of the Journal, as revolting to the sense of fair play and as indicating that the essential injustice in the entire Negro problem is the injustice of the white man to the Negro. The modern American attitude toward the Negro is denounced as often far crueler than the average attitude of the Southern slaveholder, look coldly upon the Negro of today and to say that his babies shall not have a fair chance to overcome tuberculosis and all the other diseases, that threaten them. To advocate such injustice as an indirect means of discouraging Negro migration to a community is cruelty of a peculiarly cold and inhuman kind."
To appreciate what overcrowding really means one must take the table of occupancy made up from the study of eight blocks in Manhattan and Brooklyn, showing the number of persons occupying about two thousand four-room apartments. Of this number seven hundred and twenty-nine apartments were occupied by four, five or six persons and three would not be classed as overcrowded. But one hundred and eighteen housed from seven to fifteen persons, six of these having ten occupants, while three had eleven, thirteen and fifteen respectively. This overcrowding of apartments was taken by the board as an indication that the practice of doubling up families reported to during the war period still prevailed to a larger extent than is safe either for the moral or physical health of the community. The block survey made by the board showed that there has been practically no change since last year in the congestion in three-room aaprtments, increased congestion in four-room apartments and a slight decrease in five-room apartments. The testimony of many of the witnesses at the public hearing ennazed the overcrowding of rooms. Health Commissioner Harris referred to the results of two surveys made by nurse of his department on the occupancy of bedrooms. These investigators found that out of 2,342 bedrooms occupied by adults a large proportion were used at the same time by from one to eight children. Dr. Harris regarded this congestion as a grave inenace to the health and morals of the community.
This happens to be the peculiar phase of the American tragedy of the Negro presented in Chicago. The editor of the Journal has presented it in such a striking manner as to arrest public attention and to enlist public sympathy. The rest of the work of securing a remedy for these deplorable living conditions should be up to the Negroes themselves. With Chicago in the throes of a three-cornered political campaign, in which the Negro vote should constitute an important factor, there should be some way of making that vote count for the correction of the ills that contribute to making the racial death rate double what it ought to be.
RACIAL SELF-CONCEIT.
Here is a college professor who is iconoclastic enough to regard the doctrine of racial superiority as merely a manifestation of racial self-conceit. He has done this unheard of thing, despite all the theories of Aryanism, Gobinism, Teutonist, Social Selectionism, Gallicism Anglo-Saxonism and Nordicism. The name of this professor is given as Frank H. Hankins and his book, in which he demolishes the doctrine of superior races, is entitled "The Racial Basis of Civilization: a Critique of the Nordic Doctrine."
The effect of this housing congestion on racial conditions was brought out in a study made by the New York Urban League on Rents in relation to Incomes," covering 4,250 Negro families in Harlem, which showed a high percentage of over crowding. The cause of congestion was explained as follows:
We do not know whether this is the same college professor who was recently quoted as predicting that the Negro race in the United States would become extinct within the next two hundred years, but in this volume he deals more with the past than the future. In fact, according to a review of his book by a brotlier professor, he takes issue with the idea of tribal supremacy as the product of elaborate myths of racial origin. In the United States, it is stated that the institution of slavery, combined with immigration and provincialism, have tended to produce Ku-Kluxery, contempt for the darker people to the South and other manifestations of racial bigotry. This view of the matter should interest John Powell, the founder of the Anglo-Saxon clubs of Virginia, and his benighted followers.
"Forty-nine and nine-tenth per cent, or one half, of the money earned by the heads of families goes for rent. The question immediately arises as to how the family maintains itself on this basis. Reports show that 43 per cent of the mothers go out to work to supplement the family income and 47 per cent, of the families take in lodgers. These seem to be the most popular schemes for meeting the rent."
Sufficient evidence was presented in this report to justify the claim, that housing congestion was still an acute evil, pressing most heavily upon those who could least afford to meet it. The shortage of housing appeared to be greatest at $12.50 per room monthly. The need is for a greater supply of three and four room apartments at a rent not exceeding this figure, where families can be accommodated without the necessity of doubling up or taking lodgers. Fifty per cent. is too great a proportion of family income to be expended for rent alone. Until the average wage earner can find small apartments at a rental not exceeding twenty-five per cent. of his income, he is driven to resort to various devices to lessen his burden. The extension of the rent laws was needed to prevent the situation from growing worse.
The Nordic theory is referred to as arising toward the end of the last century, especially in Germany, and spreading to England and America, where it took the form of "a rising tide of aduluation of the blood dolcecephal as the embodiment of all that was great in creative genius, organizing ability and power of leadership," it was coupled with the belief "that the salvation of the world depended upon the maintenance of Nordic domination," "This is 'the white man's burden,' that according to an observant traveler in the Southland is keeping the poor whites of the South Carolina coast regions and the Georgia hills saturnine and unprogressive."
ANOTHER AMERICAN TRAGEDY. Theodore Dreier took a newspaper story of the drab ending of a sordid romance of American youth, complicated with middle class ambitions and uncontrolled impulses, and turned it into an
The existence of races is accepted, by this author in the sense that certain groups differ from others in the distribution of certain measurable traits, although in Europe the genetic purity of race is rare. Centuries of migration and conquest have produced an almost universal mixture of races. Far from causing degeneration, this mixture was declared to be "a factor in the rise of brilliant periods in the history of human culture." But the results of any admixture are largely dependent upon the qualities that are combined in the crossing, it being an axiom that "sound individuals of superior type will produce sound offspring, regardless of diverse racial origins." Of course, this is the biological view of the matter, aside from artificial social conditions.
The conclusions arrived at by Professor Hankins, according to his brother professor, are tindeniably convincing, but they will please neither the prophets of a chosen people nor the equalitarians. But they effectively dispose of the Nordic myth, and the doctrine of racial supremacy.
CHANGE IN POLICE HEADS.
The retirement of George V. McLaughlin as Police Commissioner has been the occasion of much eulogy, coupled with a wide expression of regret. The restiring police head tackled a hard job when he took charge of the department, which had become sadly demoralized under the preceding administration. Commissioner McLaughlin soon made his influence felt by his absolute fairness in dealing with the men under him and with all sections of the community. He made it apparent that the duty of the police was to prevent crime and to protect the public. On the strength of this program he was able to secure large additions to the force, and to restore its morale and efficiency.
In doing this, the Commissioner found it necessary to cut out a number of police frills, and to abolish soft details for favorites, so as to place the greatest number of officers possible on active duty. Efficient officers were assured of commendation and promotion for doing their duty and better discipline was enforced among the raw recruits, who had conceived erroneous ideas of the privileges and immunities of their uniform. Habitual drunkards were tried and dismissed from the force, as there is no greater menace to the public than such misfits in uniform.
The increased efficiency of the force shown since Mr. McLaughlin became its head was demonstrated by the arrest and conviction of a greater number of criminals, close upon the heels of their crimes; and the vigilance of the force in preventing many robberies and holdups. His war on gambling aroused the opposition of the politicians, but he persisted in his course, although the trail took his men into the political club houses, where the gambblers had taken refuge. His pertinacity and determination took no account of political consequences.
Joseph A. Warren, who has been selected by Mayor Walker to succeed Mr. McLaughlin, possesses many of the qualities that made for the success of his predecessor. In his office as Commissioner of Accounts, Mr. Warren discovered the snow removal graft and showed considerable vigor in prosecuting those concerned, even when it involved members of the local organization. If he shows the same qualities in dealing with the police situation, he will do much to lessen the regret that was felt at the retirement of Mr. McLaughlin.
It is frequently said that the Police Commissioner is the official whose conduct of his office does the most to make or break the administration that appoints him. Mr. Warren evidently has the confidence of the Mayor and is in a fair way to earn the confidence of the public by the manner in which he meet the problems of his new position.
WHY ORGANIC UNION IS DE-
FERRED.
The organic union of the various branches of Methodism in this country has long been looked forward to as a desirable thing to accomplish, something upon which everybody concerned agreed in principle but differed in putting into practice. The white Methodists tried in vain to get together again on a sound basis of Christian unity, but the fear of the Southern wing that the colored members of the Northern church would have to be treated as fellow Christians, made all their efforts in vain. The members of the various Negro denominations of Methodists, including the African M. E., Zion A, M. E, and Colored Methodist churches, have tried for years to bring about organic union, without putting it to the practical test.
It took the efforts of the eminent editor of the Star of Zion to elicit a plea
THE AGE READERS' FORUM
ble reason for the failure of these various denominations of colored Methodists to get together. By artfully prodding a brother religious editor, who presides over the destinies of the Christian Recorder, published, by the A. M. E. Church. this candid and convincing exposition of the situation was obtained and published in both these church organs. We reproduce Editor Wright's views on organic union below:
At present we fear that the Negro church is too full of politics to make, permanent any plan of organic union. But this is our view:
3. Organic Union, being a sort of marriage of churches, should be preceded by a sort of courtship. The courtship which should precede Union is Federation. If we cannot federate we cannot unite.
4. The most crying need of the Negro ministry today is education. Let the churches attempt educating their preachers together. When these young preachers grow up knowing one another, and trusting one another, they will have union.
5. Let the churches honestly co-operate in carrying out the plan of 1908—twenty years ago—have a common hymnal, exchange pulpits, exchange literature, bring their discipline and polity gradually together.
Let the commission get down off of generalities—upon which every rational man must agree—and get down to the real business necessary to be discussed before we can know whether, we can have organic union. For we face a condition, not a theory. This editor was a factor in the first merger or "organic union" of two Negro banks. The same was accomplished on a basis of facts, common sense, sacrifice and confidence, not mere platitudes.

I appreciate your interest in my
recovery from rheumatism. Just what
the progress is at present, the following
news item, taken from a lately
started local paper, for which Capita
Gilmer occasionally writes, will
indicate
"Prof C. H. Moore, one of
the deans of Greenboro, was on
the streets of the city this week.
He has been sick at his home.
Because of his long and faithful
service as a citizen of more than
forty years, the people are glad
to know that the professor is
better."
Furthermore, the captain would like for the following question to be answered: Can you satisfy him? "Say listen, listen reader. What it is about the language of the North that comes, some of our native talk, to go up there not over six months and come back here. New Yorked that you cannot understand all they say. Our way of talking is all right, isn't it? As to the "Old Nort State" being "first" in so many things, worthwhile the Greenbore Daily News says that there are five sections in the United States of America, namely, North South, West- and North Carolina. Do you catch on? For instance, here is what Attorney General Sargent seems to think in this section.
SARGENT HAS HEARD
MUCH ABOUT STATE
Attorney General Says "It seems Nearly Everything Nowadays Is Coming From North Carolina."
Boone, March 22-North Carolina is attracting national attention—even the attention of the easy-going attorney general Vienn Proff. L. Green, of Boone, called at the Attorney General's office to urge the cause of Frank A Linney for Federal Judge. He found the Attorney General smoking.
"Is that North Carolina tobacco?" Professor Greer asked. "Well," replied Mr. Sargent.
"It seems that nearly everything nowadays is coming from North Carolina. Every time I hear of a North Carolina town, I learn it makes more of something than any other place in the world."
With one more clipping, I'll bring this epilogue to a close. The following clipping is from the Daily News its editorial epilogue of your native habitat. I can't blame you for leaving "Old Virginia" and moving to New York, after I read this. Stay three. Brother, until your summon comes from above, before returning to such an unsettled place again.
Texas Might Learn From Virginia
When the Supreme court of the United States declared unconstitutional the Texas statute Gobblersy Negroes to participate in Democracy, primaries, every Democrat statesman knew that no great harm had been done to the party. The old methods are entirely out of touch the situation without accourse to it.
This belief believes so thoroughly in organic union that he would be willing to relinquish his editorial chair (for we could all the bishops all of us now have) that he would be willing that no new bishops be elected until 1932, as the bishops all the churches have would be more than enough. But keep this reasoning up, and see the personal equations you will have to contend with.
We trust that a small and permanent commission on organic union will be appointed—to study our problems, and not to have one great granddust meeting and then go off and forget about it. We have been "candid" if not convincing.
Dr. Wright's candor appears to be strongly tinctured with common sense and a shrewd knowledge of human nature, both in the church and out of it. His fear that the church is too full of politics to make permanent any plan of organic union is probably based on an intimate knowledge of existing conditions. His suggestions as to the way in which organic union may gradually be brought about are practical and worth the experiment. The appointment of a commission to study the problem may either help to solve it or bury it, as political expediency may determine.
Organic Union probably will not be brought about until the latty and the elergy of all branches of colored Methodism really appreciate the practical advantages to be derived from such consolidation of resources and unite in subordinating personal ambitions to the greater good of the Church. And it may precede the millennium, at that.
Rough stuff is not rough stuff if it is called by another name
Yesterday came news that the re-commendation of the Prentis committee on revision of the Virginia Constitution to tighten the restrictions on voting in Virginia by reducing the period of prepayment of poll taxes as a prerequisite to voting, from three years to two years was killed in a house Committee of the Legislature As to why it was killed the Hon. Albert Sydney Johnson, stateman of the Commonwealth, is cited for his urgent plea.
"It is for the future I fear," said Mr. Johnson. "Negro children in many counties where the Negroes outnumber the whites are now thinking to schools in greater numbers than the whites, with the definite purpose of preparing themselves for citizenship. In 15 years we are likely to have a condition in these counties where the Negroes will again outpace the whites. This reduction of two years for paying poll taxes as a qualification of voting will not encourage the white people to vote but it will encourage the Negroes. As Southern, living in a county where the Negroes outnumber the whites, I do not wish to see a return of the days when my country government will be dominated by the Negroes. It we are to change the constitutional provisions around qualified voters, we should strengthen them, not lower them."
This business of Negroes going to school is, as every statesman has long recognized, a dangerous practice which ought to be discouraged, particularly when the Supreme court is ant to declare handy laws unconstitutional. The plea for retention of the three-year provision on payment of poll taxes and particularly the argument of Mr. Johnson have at least the merit of frankness. It Texans become discouraged at the rebuft to their law they might learn a lesson from Argentina.

A news item in the Birmingham Reporter notes the increasing attentiveness being given to the care of the teeth, especially among children. It said:
The Jefferson County Dental Study Club is making itself felt as a progressive, tangible part of Birmingham and Jefferson County.
At a meeting in the Maxton Temple Thursday evening, March 10, arrangement were made for the establishment and management of two dental clinics—one for the school children to be located at Lincoln School and a permanent clinic at the Children's Home Hospital.
It is hoped and urgently requested that every colored citizen of Birmingham and its conties will airport in every way the effort to establish these much needed clinics and help the progress of the community.
Dental troubles are one of the penalties of modern civilization, or at least are supposed to increase with the removal from primitive conditions of living. The Alabama citizens are keeping step with the times in tackling this problem among the children.
Discussing what should be the proper attitude for the church goer of the present day, the conservative edifice of the Christian Retorder related the following incident:
Two young people were discussing the sermon Said one "But he made so many outrageous errors" referring to the grammatical errors which the preacher frequently made. And the other said "He had such a fantastic delivery" "He didn't seem to be trying to convince anybody by the argument, but to impress them by his antics." And then one of them said to the editor, "Don't you think that was a dreadful sermon?" Our reply was, "I go to Church to worship and not to criticise."
There is nothing perfect in the world, nothing which is human, which is above criticism. Yet there are some things which should not be criticised harshly, when criticism should not be on the main object. One of these is when we go to church to worship. We all ought to go to church to meet the Lord. We ought to go for the purpose of having our spiritual strength renewed. There is none of us so high and none of us so low but that he needs the spiritual renewal which true worship gives to anyone who will follow it. And the man or woman who takes too critical a view of worship, is not apt to get what he needs most.
So the earnest worshper must not wince when the eloquent preacher fails to make his verbs agree with their subjects or must on following his prepositions with the nominative case.
The Chicago Hiphop belly resents the fact that all offer the United States the black people have been advertised as a race of "wrap-shooters and chicken-eaters." It refuted the first charge as follows:
The game of dice is a product of the white man's games. The first authentic mention made of this game was when the soldiers in Caesar's army "last the die" when they were cut off from supplies. They played in order to forget about foolish Shakespeare knew about dice because he aroused that it is false as a diceer's oath". The white men are now the masters of the hickle game, and in the parlance of the street we are "spiders" and moves in the amount at manipulae and the treacherousies. The game has been developed into a science. The laws of age and percentage have been mastered by the acute minds of our Nordic brothers and it is a matter of common knowledge that the white gamblers come into communities and with precision and dispatch separate us from onions. It is their game and yet we are forced to bear the cross of traps.
Dice are shot all over Chicago. Million dollar games three out of our districts and never within and whenever the shredd gamblers from out of the district so cut down on us we are left sadder and waser. When we are referred to as a face of craps shooters the public is passively by the false propaganda a distrust is pet deterred against us. We know very little about craps we have not yet reached the heights of civilization to deserve the subjugate of crapshooters John W. Gate, Honore John Kelly, Ask the Gatek and some of the shredd Jewish gamblers carry the title with more glaze and with more justice. It is an accomplishment that we have not yet adjusted. Take the cross of craps away.
The late Paul Brown, while editing a brittle newspaper, paid a glowing tribute to the fidelity of the whites of that section at the craps
over for the streets. So, it is quite a blow to lose that present from the company. The company spends $200,000 a year on uniforms. Now, I fell if we should write a nice letter to the president of the company, Mr. Carey, we might get him to reimburse, as he is a very liberal man. I would like every man who approves of this idea to send his name and district to my shop, 2155 Seventh avenue, New York City. We next may expect to lose our free insurance and our sleeping quarters.

too, our folk started all this dis-
count on the postal savings bank
with drawing $25,000 before the end of

At first that this might seem a reflection upon the Florida folk who did not realize that Uncle Sam is the world's safest banker and that their funds were 'well guarded with him' it is humanly possible to have them. All of which may be true, but nothing has happened in Florida to make our group there have special confidence in a government, which has been unable to assure them the bailout it promised, unable to make safe their lives and property against the mob and the lynchers, or in other respects enforce its own laws and constitution. Isn't it then reasonable, for the man of the street to come to the conclusion that Uncle Sam who cannot be trusted with the lives of his citizens isn't also to be trusted too far with the dollars of the same folk?
The reasoning of the Baltimore college appears to be logical, though it cannot follow him if the simplified spelling of "that," as a substitute for "thought."
According to the Philadelphia Tribune, that city founded by William Penn has "something to crow about," in that it can boast of the greatest individual successes in America. It said:
The largest colored theaters owned by a colored man in America are in Philadelphia. John T. Gibson is the owner and directing manager. The most modern and perhaps the largest colored funeral parlor in the United States are owned by W. H. Casselle in Philadelphia. The Jebl W. Holland Catering Company is the finest and best equipped catering establishment, white or colored, in this country. Wm. H. Newman is the proprietor. Joseph Trent is one of the largest building contractors among colored people anywhere in America. In the concrete construction business Frederick Massiah stands out above them all. The Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Company is almost the result of the individual effort of Major R. R. Wright. William A. Tooks is undoubtedly the largest colored manufacture of caskets in America. There are other big individual successes in business but the above is sufficient to prove our first statement.
The achievements of these individuals are simply indicative of what can be accomplished in this city with its nearly 200,000 colored people. With a greater amount of cooperative effort Philadelphia can surpass any other city in America.
Philadelphia is to be congratulated on the showing made for it by so realous a journalistic exponent as the Tribune which it offered a notable example of individual achievement.
With the imnction 'Walt' Chipmunk predicts that the present race against foreign domination will bring about the disembarkment of all the whites it concluded.
Then, what has been treated for many years by the white races and the yellow peril will mencare the white world in a true and realistic manner. Already only one-fourth of the world's population is white. The other three-fourths are yellow and darker peoples. Stoddard's *Rising Tide* of Color was not simply a sample of propaganda. It is true that with the awakening of China, the last hope of world domination by the white races comes to an end. Russia, India, Turkey, Lagos *C"arum* "the St. Luke* Herald of Rome*, and Japan, in fact the crest Orient will form a chain of yellow and mixed races that would world con combat. Watch it. Every time we see the success of the Chinese that points toward the reservation of civil strife and the white aliens from her territory, people of color should rejoice with unbreakable pleasure.
It remains to be seen at here, Britain and the other foreign countries which have fattened off the crop of China, will relinquish the grip without a desperate effort to crush the nationalistic mood in American marine news.

the Emmanuel. Proof this teaching, it appears that believers in him should plant the seed thought of his personal presence power in the 'world of humanity and leave it to the individual as to how they should live and act under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. You do not have to have the teach you not to steal, to lie and to make mischief. If you are regenerated by the power of the Holy Spirit, You have a greater ' teacher ' within you which will not only teach you but will guide you.
Some say that this world is a great theatre and that human experience is the stage of the realm of time and that each individual that is born into this world are the actors upon the stage, whether their 'life' is long or short. While many of them play the part of comedy, for a while, all of them are players of tragedy and the dimus of their tragic life is death. Perhaps our merciful towards Father is more benevolent towards his human children than they realize in that he has so constructed the mind and placed within human consciousness the glorious trinity of elements, Faith, Hope and Love that tragic experiences that are before individual groups and nations, does not come into their mind and weigh heavily on their heart (Q. L. J. Emmanuel is the single outstanding person in, human experience that knew his destiny and cataloged the progressive development of his tragic career and his awful death. The court procedure of it and the positive declaration of his bodily resurrection. It seems, to us that tragedy is illustrated in his whole human career.
The word tragedy means: "The form of drama in which the theme is Solemn, lofty or pathetic. A fatal event or course of events. Subjective to extreme and protracted suffering." Even though Adam, was created in the image and likeness of God, He did not know the tragedy 'which was going to be his experience in the Garland, the grounds of the life of Paradise, in the life of his helpmate and their children. Tragedy seems to be a great part of human development. Our modern life abounds with tragedy, everywhere. Our present punity of wars, on foreign soil, internal strife and family and business, death struggles with the nations of the world in violent, political and social eruption, indicates universal tragedy and that all human experience has cross, Golgotha, and its grave yard. But if we have the mind and the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ the Emanuel, we shall be resurrected from the grave of death into eternal, happy conscience. And the Sunday school convened. Pastor Bolden assisted in the opening.
At the evening service, The Rev. Braxton Croker preached to the many assembled his text was: And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." This sermon was very inspiring to the many assembled. His quartet sang three spirituals which was greatly enjoyed by all. The dinner music was the Splendid music was rendered by the choir.

Concord Baptist Church
The 'much talked about and much heard of two weeks of gospel feasting at the Concord Church has finally gotten under way. On last Sunday Rev. B. James B. Adams opened fire on Satan's camp in grand style. At the miffing service the Church was packed and the masterly preachings look and roar with much his stern writen across his face and announced for subject: The Day of Pentecost. At the close of his message several came forward and gave their lives to the cause of Christ. The evening message was on the: "The Sin of Pride." This was another great message by this man of God. During the week the crowds have been flacking to the church in great numbers to the timely subjects discussed by Joe Enderle. The Etheridge has a large number of Gospel singers who render a most pleasing program each evening before the message. If you want to realize a gospel feast go to the Concord Baptist Church this week and next week.
Bridge St. A.M. E. Church
What was classed as one of the biggest evangelical meetings in the history of Bridge Street Church came to a glorious close after a two weeks campaign, on Sunday night with a powerful surprise.

It was replete with good wholesome advice also it abounded with religious appeal. A number of women joined the church.

Laurinburg, N. C.-Rev. L. W. Wertz pastor of First Baptist Church of Hamlet, N. C. was a visitor on the Institute campus Friday afternoon. The first game of the season was played in Woodruff Park here Tuesday evening between Maxton and Laurinburg. The game was interesting and people from far and near were present to witness the contest. The young team of the Laurinburg Institute, composed of school boys only greatly rejoiced at being able to compete with the more advanced team of Maxton with a tie 6-6. This park has been put up under the direction of some of the best carpenters and builders of the town. Batteries Laurinburg Institute, McLairin and McDuffie, jr.

Batteries against Luthern College, McLairn and McLairn, March 30 played against Washington High School and defeated them by score of 9-7.

But satisfactory and encouraging as this is it is but an imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement.

The Pullman Company's "Economic Bureau"
The announcement by the Pullman Company telling of the establishment of an economic bureau for the purpose of cutting down expenses, has stirred considerable comment among the porters. Since it is usually the men in the poorer paid positions that suffer when an efficiency expert is called in, the porters fear that some will lose their jobs.
These porters say there are a number of jobs held by white employees that might very well be abolished or combined. One such job is that of Pullman Inspector. The men who occupy this job are mostly former conductors and they receive a salary of from $225 to $250 per month with $6 per day as an allowance for traveling expenses. The duties of a Pullman Inspector are to keep the porters "tip to scratch" in their work and to be general supervisors of the Negro employees.
Some of the porters are suggesting that the economic bureau turn the work of the Pullman Inspector over to porters who have been in the service for a number of years and who have made good records. In the dining car service most roads have what is known as a traveling chef. His duties are mostly supervisory but sometimes he helps the regular chef out when he finds the work extra heavy or whenever there is a call for a dish the regular chef does not know about. If the Pullman Company were to turn over the job of Pullman Inspector to the porters, considerable money could be saved by employing fewer men and they could be secured at a slightly reduced salary, certainly the ex-porter would stand for a reduction of the $6 per day expense account.

THE
AROUND THE EASTERN LEAGUE CIRCUIT Richmond and Mt. Holly Parks Offer Bright Prospects-For League Games
With the Commissioners of the Eastern Colored League holding another meeting in Philadelphia, Friday, the officials expect to clean up all details prior to the start of the championship race. The first half of the split schedule will be submitted by the committee of Ed. Bolden, Jim Keenan and Nat. Strong and in all probability will be ratified and adopted at the conference.
Much enthusiasm is being displayed over the prospects of having the Eastern Leaguers perform in Richmond and Mt. Holly and both places, through their representatives have offered a gala opening for the league tulls. At Richmond, Babe Morris and the Magnus Club have whooping things up during the entire past Winter, and the Virginia Capital at one time was the home of the Richmond Giants, a red hot base ball center to which the league clubs are no strangers. All of the games will be played at Mavo's Island Park, the well appointed grounds of the Virginia League team. In Mount Holly, the owners of the Royle and Polkington Athletic Association are the local boosters and the R & P. Athletic Field will be the scene of the battles. While Mt. Holly is a moderatesized town, it is the Burlington County Seat and the hub of a number of adjoining towns that offer a big field to draw from for the league contests.
Rector Adds Strength To Lincoln Giants
When Jim Keenan said there was nothing right about the Lincoln Giants hurling staff last season, the sage from the Bronx was not commenting about the ability of his lilgers but the fact that all of his dependable curvers served them up from the port side their shirt. In fact with Rube Chambers, Lefty Gisentaner and Slats Gilmore in line the Lincoln's boasted the best array of southpaw heavens in the circuit. But according to the laws of baseball and the custom in Vogue, when a left hander is chased to the showers, the opposite is substituted in an effort to deceive the enemies, maces that have already been trained on one type of pitching. This caused Keenan and his field chief, John Henry Lloyd no small amount of worry during the past season. So in order to remedy this situation, Keenan has been combing the field for a dependable right hander. His quest came to an abrupt end when Nat Strong put Connee Rector on the market and the Lincoln's landed him in a deal that involved "Highpockets" Hudspeth, Reciver should, and is expected to fit into the Bronx combination like a key in a lock. Experience, ability and physical stamina are all embodied in the chunky right-hander from Arkdelphia, Ark, and he along with Julius Rojo the Cubaa catcher gives the New York team another strong battery.
Cuban Stars To Have Strong Team
Senor Pompez, asserts that the present edition of the Cuban Stars will be the best team he has brought over from the Queen of the Antilles. And in making this statement the affable Cuban mentor is basking his prediction on past performance plus the fact that both Oscar Lewis and Juanelo Maribal have refrained from playing Winter ball over the past cold snap. It is the custom of the Cuban players to put in twelve months per year on the diamond, which it is claimed does no harm to the Latin athletes. However Pompez doesn't view the matter from that angle "Each year," says Pompez. "I get the best results from my club during the first couple of months of baseball here in the Stars." And I attribute it to the fact that some of my players have burned themselves out with Winter play. The pitching that is so essential to every club has not been all that could be designed for the past few seasons. But with Oscar and Juanelo, my star hurler-pitching their heads off on the Island every Winter they are not in the best condition for the hard games on the league schedule. With both of them resting from the game this Winter, I am quite sure they will give better service. The rest of the club will be about the same as last season including fence busting Martin Dihigo. The Cubans' stayed out in front for more than half of the season the past year.
Paris, France--Al Brown, lanky flyweight from Harlem, New York made his ring debut here on Saturday night, April 2, by defeating Eugene Criqui, former leatherweight champion of the world, na ten round decision bout. Criqui, who retired two years ago, was attempting a ring comeback.
He was unable to get Brown's long arm defense while the Negro fighter repeatedly got through the Frenchman's guard and out pointed him in every round Criqui seemed to have left much of the speed and ring generalship he had when he won the title.
Tuskegee Nine To Play First Conference Games
Tuskegee Institute, Ala—Tuskegee will play its first Conference games on April 8 and 9 with State Normal School of Montgomery, Alabama, on the home diamond. Since the two game series with Selma University, in which the Tigers divided honors with the assistors, the team has done hard and consistent practice.
There has been considerable improvement in the work of the hatsmen. Riddean, Flood, Bookman and Captain Woolridge have been hitting to all corners of the field and are daily acquiring accuracy in placing the pill in a safe spot. J Grimes is another safe hitter, also Freeman, Meyers and Bradford, who can be counted on to do hard slugging throughout any game*. Harold Grimes, who has been confined to the hospital with a long-leg of sickness will probably not be able to play for ten days or two weeks longer. Freeman, the youngster from Oakland California, and James Grimes will continue to take turns at second L. Robinson and Ernest T. Bailey, football stars, are being groomed in moundsmen. In the game, with Selma, Bailey pitched in-
ings and struck out nine men and allowed only one base on balls at ditchell, Jackson, Dixon and Snell are the other members of the Tiger pitching staff. Coach Abbott has been using the Reserves against the Varsity in order that the men who will be sent against the Hornets may have sufficient practice before going in to the first Conference game of the season.
National Tennis Tourney At Hampton Institute
Hampton Institute, Va.
Hampton Institute is making elaborate plans and preparations for the eleventh National Championship of the American Tennis Association which will be held at Hampton, August 15-20, 1927. This will be the first session of the Association to be held in the South and for that reason every effort will be made by the Institute and the Virginia Tennis Association to make the eleventh National Championship a great success. Word has been received from the National President, Dr. Harry McCard that from the present indications the association will have the largest entry lists for both singles and doubles in the history.
One of the first requirements for a good tournament is good courts. Hampton is spending about $1200 resurfacing its eight courts which will be in good condition and available for tournament play. Salutee provision has been made for entertainment and pleasure of the followers of the net game.
It is doubtful if there is any place better equipped to make the tournament a success and at the same time furnish the members of the association more pleasure and wholesome recreation. This locality is rich in historic associations. Places of interest within a few minutes' rule of the Institute are the National Soldier Home, Old Point Cowfort, Fortress-Silence Kanaels Field Hampton Newport News, Yorkport Williamburg and Jamestown Bay Shore a resort situated on Chesapeake Bay and known throughout the country of recreation where bathing and dancing may be enjoyed.
A musical program in Ogden Hell a watermelon feast and lawn party a boat sail over Hampton Borough made famous by the battle of the Monitor and the Merrimack will host of the elaborate program now being prepared for entertainment of the hundreds of guests expected to attend the eleventh National Tournament

"The Sensation Seekers" At The Roosevelt Theatre
One of the most gorgeous fanciness ball, ever staged for a movie picture was timed for Los Weber's latest spectacular production, "The Sensation Seeker." The Universal Jewel which will be screened at the Roseveil theatre for three days beginning Saturday, April 9.
Billie Dove, considered the screen's most beautiful woman, and Hunley Gordon, one of its best comedians, are the starting honors while supporting cast or unusual merit was corralled for this feature.
For weeks before the ball was given on the Universal wardrobe worked feverishly making musical costumes for the lances. Among some of the costumes worn by the cast were those of rabbits, oriental dancers, cupids, newspaper headlines, baller girls and many other sensational garbs too numerous to mention.
An immense ball room set was constructed perfectly decorated as a country club and people with the most charming supermumerarie, obtamabil and Hollywood notes for its publhirtude.
One of the most noted orchestras on the West Coast was obtained to play the latest dance music and the dancers enjoyed the pleasure of a great frolic.
Among the supporting cast of this rectangular picture is Riverside Bloomers, Pepper Montgomery, Phillip Smaller, Litch Yorke, Clarett Thompson and Nora Cree.
"Tarzan and The Golden Lion" At The Douglas
FBO's latest Gold Bond Special "Tarsan and the Golden Lion" which is coming to the Douglas Theatre Saturday when it begins a three day run in entertainment like the story, which was written by that author and creator of *The Egular Race Burroughs*, is a fantasy which has for its background the heart of Africa. In this strange world may the most unique figure in modern fiction, a white man who has seen his life in the lunge making friends with the wild animals and oil flowers of the various savage tribes
The theme of the picture is based on his adventures with Jad-bal-ja, the loin he raised from a cub and who has been his companion on his expeditions. The spotlight of thrills is focused on the effort of Tarzan and his band of Waziri warriors to find the hidden city, where, in the Palace of Diamonds, there is treasure beyond the dreams of man. However, the path to the city is replete with danger and breath-taking escapades, and the audience is kept in suspense until the very last moment of the picture William E. Wing wrote the adaptation and community and J. P. McGovern directed. The cast includes James Peters, Edna Murphy, Harold Goodwin, Liu Yu-Ching, Dorthy Dunbar, D'Arcy Corrigan, Boris Karloff and Robert Bolder.
Goethe's "Faust" At The Renaissance Theatre
New Yorkers think they know their New York but how little they know is ably seen in New York that big screen production with Rueardo Cortez, Lois Wilson, Estelle Taylor, William Powell and Norman Trevor which will be the feature picture at the Renaissance Thearte Thursday and Friday, April 7th and 8th. It is one of the screen's sure pleasure.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, April 9, 10 11, that epic of the screen, Geothie's "Fausf", with Emil Jamings, will be the attraction. All the world knows the opera now see the story on the screen. Many say it is better than the opera.
Emil Jannings as "Fausst" excellently portrays his part, and the mature picture is so well acted that it has been called on of the season's outstanding successes.
Many comments have been made on the manner in which the large pipe organ in the Renaissance Theatre is handled by Mrs. Marie McFarlane. She is credited as being one of the best organist in the profession and her playing at the Theatre has long been one of its outstanding features.
Annual Clef Club Frolic At Manhattan Casino
That there will be a lively interest in the handsome silver loving cup to be given the winner in the Black Bottom Contest at the Chelf Club frothy Laster Monday night at Manhattan Casino appears evident from the number of entries already received.

Among the athletes who have recently entered, the Diamond Track Meet of the 369th Infantry, N. Y. N. G., are Phil Edwards, the 1000 yard inter-collegiate champion who is a student at New York University and Cecil Cooke, anchorman of the championship Syracuse relay team, and former national holder of the 440 yard title.
Other entries are coming in daily and indications are that the meet will be one of the most successful of the season.

Cecil Cook To Compete At Howard Classic
Washington D. C.-Cecil Cook,
440 yard runner of Syracuse University,
who last year was victor in the
National A. A. 1' Championships,
winning the quarter-mile crown, will compete in the National Open Championships, at the Howard University
Spring Classic, Saturday, 14th.
In this race, Cook will make an effort
to establish a world's record for the
quarter-mile run. He has been turning
some nifty quarters in indoor
meets this year. He is just about
at his best and ought to equal the
outdoor mark, it he doesn't succeed
in breaking the record
It will be remembere that Cook, a few Saturday nights ago at the 102nd Engineers Armory, at the Inter-collegiate A. A. A. a title meet. New York City turned in one of the best quarters of the season. He was running anchor man on the Syracuse 1 mile relay quartet when this team defeated Georgetown. Holly Cross, Cornell and Yale in the last time of 3 minutes. 21 4-10 seconds. This is 2-5 of a second taster than the record of the famous Georgetown team in 1925. All of the fans who have seen Cook run admite his lightning spirit. Whether he gets off to a good lead or a discouraging handicap, he allways runs an impressive quarter mile. He is perhaps, the most consistent quarter mile in the country.
He is entered in the quarter mile open special at the Howard Meet He will, doubtless, be required to give a large handicap to several fast stoppers in this event. The public will have the satisfaction of seeing, perhaps, the greatest quarter mile in the country perform in the new Howard University Satellum for the first time. A large squad of men are kept busy daily working on the new curile, path.
The Superintendent of construction pedigets that this will be one of the fastest tracks in the country and the management of the -Meet expects some fast stepping, with the possibility of one or more new records being established. Other stars will be engaged to present their wares on this occasion.
Shaw University Players In "Merchant of Venice"
Raleigh, N. C.—For several years growing emphasis has been placed on the English drama at Shaw University. Two years ago, a group of students presented Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," and last year they gave Sheridan's "The Rivals." This year, on March 18 and 19, the players presented "The Merchant of Venice." The one this year was in many ways the best of all. It was elaborate, with a larger number of actors "Sherlock" was played by Longworth Dillard'28, and "Portia" by C. Bailey'27.
The play attracted a large audience from various part of North Carolina. Critics of both races were favorably impressed with the production.
Proceeds will be used for benefit of the Shaw University Journal, under whose auspices the play was given.

One of the prominent officlals,
when -asked to give, the reason for
this unrest, gave asa reason,
“Harlem, and the religious probe

Continuing he said: “An incon

Asked to illustrate just what he
meant, hie de aired his views thus:
"New Method Necessary.
“Each of the large churches that

Spring is here; and with its advent come the activities of "The Stove-Pipe Committee." In railroad circles, spring is the auspicious season for the functioning of this body. It is at this time that new schedules are made; new trains are added; in fact, if you would believe "The Committee," it is the period at which the railroads go into executive sessions regarding their operation. And while "The Committee" is not always true to the mark in its predictions, in short instances it comes approximately in the neighborhood of that which really does take place.
Strictly defined, this is not a special body of persons. Any member of the railroad fraternity is eligible to membership. But the persons of whom it is composed are mostly those of the unofficial class, employees ordinary. That is why its activities are so interesting. These activities consist of gossip. The gossip comes, it goes, but no one ever knows the source, whence it comes. There have been cases in which the official personnel of a road has started to locate the employees who first started rumors about plains which the officials thought were known only to themselves, but there is no record of these officials ever having been successful in their efforts to single out the gossipers.
A case in point occurred on the B. railroad some years ago. The road had received numerous requests from patrons along its route to add another train to its summer schedule, the number of trains being inadequate, the patrons contended, for the volume of travel that was being done on this line.
The petitioners became so insistent that the railroad decided to take the matter under consideration, although it wasn't inclined to add any more transis to its timetable. Furthermore, the summer schedule had already been compiled. An additional train would mean the schedule's disruption, as well as an additional expense. It wasn't a request that the railroad intended, to grant that year anyway.
In some way, "The Stove-Pipe Committee" of this road-got wind of the matter, and the rumor began to circulate that the railroad would put on a new train that season. The report gained so much headway that the road began receiving letters from the petitioners; thanking it for its accession to their request. There was nothing else for the railroad to do but add the train. Little did those patrons know that it was the functioning of the railroad's stove-pipe committee that assisted them in securing this additional service.
Another phase of the committee's activity is the underground manner in which the members promote and demote persons of the official staff. Whenever an official is to be moved, the rumor usually precedes the change by several months. It sometimes happens that the officer in question gets his first intimation of the change, from this source. And if he is one who has made himself unpopular with the rank and file, and it is a case of demotion, well, it is simply "too bad" for him. He is crucified by the "Stove-Pipe" gang.
Although these "Stove-Pipers," as said before, are not confined to any one body of railroad workers, conductors, trainmen, porters, waiters, and all the rest of the railroad mass compose it, each group has its leaders. They are what might be termed the "key" men. When ever you wish to know what is being contemplated by the big fellows, go to one of these "key" men. And the strange part about the information they give is that it usually turns out to be true.
How do they get it?
Surely, all the things they disseminate cannot be the results of mere guess work.
The only philosophical way one may reason it out is that these "key" fellows have a knack of manufacturing a whole piece of cloth from odds and ends.

Picked Up Here And There
The assertion is becoming common talk in *Pullman circles* that recent publicity given the tip question and the propaganda for the abolishing of tipping on Pullman trucks and the size and number of tips which are now being received by the porters.
Writing in defense of the Plan of Employee Representation, as the porters best medium of treatment for the Pullman trucks, George C. Shannon, a member of the Pullman Company's Bureau of Industrial Relations, and a, porter, attacks this propaganda in the March 26th issue of "The Light and the Cobwebs," under the heading "A Message From a Porter to Porters."
Abolish the tip, and you knock off the head of the job of Pullman porter. Every thinking porter thinks even if by some mugger it wand the work of the porter are increased 100 per cent to what they are at the present time with the tips abolished, the job could be less attractive than it is with all its weaknesses. This tipping is weakest, this tipping. Its propagandism doesn't benefit the porter, nor does it help the object for which certain influences are working.

The China Situation
Editor of The New York Age:
Enclosed you will find clippings which seem to show that this country is in error when it mobilizes troops to send to China.
China has a, perfect right to fight in China, more so than any place else, and all other countries should take the same attitude as Japan and protect its citizens with more trouble.
The Chinese are doing no more than any other country under similar conditions of war.

Warm Weather Clothes
One should consider more than style when choosing clothes for spring. True, every woman—and every man—likes to feel that she or he is following the smartest and most all enjoy being well-dressed. That is natural, if we have pride in our appearance.
But health is more important than fashion, and we should consider it first in all matters. It is important to choose garments which are heathful as well as stylish.
The first essential in selecting summer clothes is to choose garments which permit circulation of air and yet absorb moisture. It is important to choose garments bent, because in very hot weather, the rapidity of evaporation of moisture fro m the skin determines the case with which the body will keep cool. Evaporation body moisture is a cooling process, so we are to keep in good condition.
White and light colors absorb fewer of the sun's rays than black and dark colors. Hence they are the colors to wear. Underclothing should be lobe and porous. It should be frequent and depending upon the amount of individual perspiration. "At night it should be hung over a chair where the air can circulate through it. Give some thought to the kind of shoes you buy for spring and summer wear, also. Suede and leather are good choices would avoid because they are hot and do not permit, free circulation of air. This is also true of patent leather. Do not get high or tight 'oxfords for use during the warm weather. For the sake of your own comfort, select the sheath, select your spring and summer wardrobe with care."
Race Lawyers Have Only Themselves To Blame
Editor of The New York Age:
The matter concerning Negro lawyers as mentioned in your edition of last week, is well worth caretaking consideration, and it isifizifying the nature of some of that group realizes there is something wrong in their profession.
An impression prevails in some quarters that satisfactory service from Negro lawyers is the exception rather than a rule, and in a case for the existence of the veryygon conditions about which they now complain.
Permit me to suggest a few impressions obtained through personal experience with several members of the profession.
First, lack of personality and dignity.
Second, the attitude of "superiority" so often exhibited toward clients.
Third, lack of proper attention and activity in cases submitted.
Fourth, unethical methods and practices.
These, the latter in particular, have created no small degree of the general lack of confidence in the integrity of the Negro legal profession in this city as a group, and the immensity lies within 'and not without' HARRY A. WILLIAMSON New York City.

In The P. O. Swing Room
During my more or less frequent visits to the Post Office I have come into personal contact with all sorts of postal employees, but no where is personal contact between postaldom and the public more conducive to one's estimate of the government's civility toward the public than at post office windows. One may keep his lines of communication intact and yet seldom, if ever, see the carrier who maintains the lines by delivering his mail between the various contact points. But it is hard to imagine a person who at some time or other does not 'hid himself before a post office window in personal contact with the government through the agency of postal employees of varying degree of authority, and importance.
I have heard persons, turning away from a post office window, muttering language of disgust: at the uncivility of the window clerk Again I have been present when some irate and uncivil patron leaped much abuse upon an apparently well-meaning and inoffensive clerk. What is civility? Before the theme that inspired this article is fully developed, perhaps it would serve to clarify that subsequent development, if the reader is made familiar with the author's view of what the term "civility" means. One author defines civility as "the quality of being civilized—good breeding—acts of politeness." Those definitions have a certain co-relationship between them. Their existence can be described as products of an evolution which parallels that of the human family—and in life successive stages. First, out of the chas chas crept civilization; from civilization evolved good breeding, which, in turn, to the parent of true inherent politeness The terms, true and inherent, are used to distinguish between genuine inborn politeness, and that which is artificially inspired by force of circumstances, popular custom, or perhaps the desire for relative gain.
Of the three above-mentioned contributing factors to the promotion of civility, good bredAg stands out as its foremost single developer.
Civilization is conceded to be in general vigor. Its chief evolutionary product is good breeding. This accomplishment may best be described as that impulse which prompts acts of human kindness and unselfish consideration towards others regardless of race, creed or station in life. As considered in its relationship to civility, this quality is attained through a strenuous process of education, assisted largely by cultural hereditary inheritance; for it is perhaps important, but nevertheless true, that education, alone, will not produce ideal good breeding. At least the basic attributes upon which education builds its other qualifications for such an accommodation, must be potentially present at birth. Education then develops and enlarges these potential. This statement might call for the contentions that cultural environments and through education will produce a subject of perfect polish and good breeding, though lacking at birth, a hereditary inheritance of culture. It must be remembered that a good breeding derived by heredity-plus education—prompts voluntarily and without consciousness—as distinguished from the consciences and sometimes forced effort of the intellectually cultured person musis the above-mentioned hereditary
traits. They need commitment effort, lack that superb spontaneity that charms and thrills others. However, it can readily be seen, that though lacking, the cultural boundary influence, wonderful progress can be made towards perforating an芽 breeding by acquiring it at young education. This training should be begin, in early childhood.
The advantages accrued to society by its possession of a well-bred citizenry is obviously manifold. Good breeding engenders true politeness, with evolutionary spontaneity, and This positiveness in the greatest single factor employed to lessen—and it is hoped to eventually eliminate the foliation, which commonly exist between Capital and. Labor, Employer and Employee and between private individuals. A very valid problem, which is receiving increasingly serious study is that of removing unpleasant friction between employee and a patronizing general public-by means of positiveness.
How shall the good breeding- and its corresponding product-politeness—of the masses be proved? By extensive campaigns directed at young men and women who are approaching the marriageable age, impressing upon them the vital importance to them, their posterity and the community at large, of selecting mates, who possess, instinctively, those attributes which make good breeding.

The child is Edwin Harris, ten-year-old Negro dancer and banjo player of St. Louis. Edmund G. Joseph and Harold R. Zeamans, 1834 Broadway, counsel for Whitman, explained that their client was willing to pay the boy's and his parents' expenses back to St. Louis, and furthermore did not know he was violating the law.

New York Cltg
In 1910 the N. T. Hegeman Company started a campaign among Negroes to leave the congested districts of Manhattan for the suburbs of New York. At that particular time the company opened a development at Westwood, N. J., within the Metropolitan area of New York, and as a result of this drive there are hundreds of former New Yorkers now living in Westwood.
MRS.
One of this number is 'Mrs. Maggie Jones, who formerly lived in West 40th street,' (the Hell's Kitchen district) in adingy tenement house with no improvements at all. The rooms were so dark they had to be artificially lighted during the day. Site secured a building site at Westwood and was so enthusiastic wit the site as a future home, the Hegeman Company erected a house on her lots, and payments were made in small monthly installments. Mrs. Jones has since built, on her own accord, several more houses on lots she purchased rfom the Hegeman Co. at eWstwood and now looks toward the first of the month, not as a time of worry and expense, but as a time of revenue.
There are many other similarly situated, who in additio to owning their own homes, have become prosperous contractors and landlords. Some work in New York City and commute, while others in this development work in nearby towns, etc.
Next week the Hegeman Company will tell of another of their developments and the benefits and independence derived by those who had the foresight to buy.

Col. William J. Costigan, commanding officer of the old 69th regiment, now the 165th Infantry, N. Y. N. G., is to review the 369th Infantry, on Friday Evening, April 8th, 1927 at the Armory at 8:40 promptly.
This review, will be the second review of the year, for the 369th Infantry, and will bring, together the Fighting Irish of the old 69th regiment and the Hell Fighters of the old 15th regiment.
Were Wartime Buddies
The review in honor of Col. Cottigan will have exceptional significance in view of the traditions which have made the 165th Infantry and 369th Infantry most loyal friends. In the early days of the war, 'when the old 15th regiment under the command of the famous Col. "Bill Hayward," was stationed at Camp Mills, just prior to embarkation for France, the old 69th was a loyal friend. The 369th Infantry, as part of the French Army, again met the old 69th around Maffrecount France, the 69th around the war, and there again showed their loyalty to the boys from home.
During the present days of the 369th Infantry, New York National Guard, under the leadership of Col. William A. Taylor, the 165th Infantry has given its hearty cooperation in rehabilitating the regiment, and in making it a strong fighting unit.
Had Joint Brigade Review
Last spring, under the leadership of Col. John J. Phelan, the entire 69th Regiment accepted the invitation of Col. Taylor, to participate in a brigade review. This event the prosecution had to attend, and the men of the regiment, will never forget. After a brigade parade through the streets of Harlem, both regiments assembled in the new Armory of the 369th Infantry, and partied in a review in honor of Col. Phelan. With the appointment of Col. Phelan as brigadier general in the New York National Guard to command the 93rd Infantry Brigade, the 69th Regiment, his postman was appointed to assume the command of the 165th Infantry, N. Y. N. G.
