Brooklyn Citizens Reported To Be Indignant Because of Advice Given Colored Pupils By Dr. H. H. Proctor Prominent Pastor Is Alleged To Have Asked To Have Race Pupils Gathered In One Room So He Could Admonish Them To Behave Brooklyn colored citizens, particularly those who are parents of children attending P. S. 35, Lewis avenue, near McDonough street, are said to be indignantly stirred at what they term the uncalled for and unwise action of the, Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of Nazarene Congregational Church, Troy avenue and Herkimer street, who is alleged to have called at that school and talked to the colored pupils, emphasizing their racial affiliation as a reason for them to be,particularly amenable to the authority of the teachers, most of whom, if not all, are white. Spokesmen for the indignant parents say that pupile who, were greeted are surprised at the oc Proctor, and approving the action of the citizens in naming a committee to wait upon the Nazarene pastor. Spokesmen for the indignant parents say that pupils who were present were surprised at the occurrence and did not understand what it was all about. They are said to have reported that while Mr. Proctor was admonishing them with regard to the importance which attached to the conduct of the covered pupils, white teachers and others were standing in the reac and nearly hallways, checking an littering over the humiliating predicament into which the minister's alleged action had placed the children. Citizens' Committee, Named. Detailed information as to just what occurred has been withheld by those sad to have been most active, as the citizens are said to have sent a committee a call on Dr. Proctor for an explanation, which is being awaited before further action is taken. It is reported that the matter had its beginning in an attempt by one of the white teachers to enforce discipline in the school room, a young colored boy being the recalcitrant pupil. Whether or not the teacher attempted to inflict corporal punishment upon the pupil is not brought out, but it is reported that in the course of the happening the pupil shaped the teacher's face. This, say the citizens, while not to be condoned, is a matter for the school authorities to straighten out directly with the pupil's parents, and the fact that the pupil is white or black, Jew, Italian, Caucasian, Negro, or any other nationality, has no bearing. Object to Tone of Speech. The reported indignation of the parents is based, it is said, on the terror of the alleged speech made to the children by Dr. Proctor after he had called on the principal and asked that all the colored pupils be assembled in a room, to themselves where we might have a chance to counsel, advise and admonish them. When this was done, according to the report, the minister is said to have told the children, that they must remember they are, Negroes, and that they must be particularly careful to respect authority of those in charge of the school, and to treat the teachers nicely. Those who have knowledge of the regulations laid down by the Board of Education for conduct of the city schools declare that the principal of the school committed a serious error when he agreed to Dr. Proctor's request to segregate the Negro pupils for the purpose aimed, as such grouping of pupils according to color, race or religion is particularly forbidden. It is possible some of them, that this phase of the matter will be presented to the Board of Education for its consideration. Fraternity Discusses Mattar. One of the most prominent Greek letter fraternities, holding a meeting on Sunday evening at the home of Dr. A. E. Reed, 1490 Union Street, discussed the occurrence at length, condemning the alleged action of Dr. One of the most prominent clergymen in Brooklyn, when called upon, refused to discuss the affair for prohibition, but said he regretted that Dr. Proctor had failed to grasp the temper of the people among whom he had been living for the past seven years. The clergyman said he felt that Dr. Proctor meant well in speaking to the pupils, but that his patience of going about it was entangled in error, and was regrettable. NEW YORK G. O.P.

ART COLLECTION FROM PRIMITIVE AFRICAN ARTISTS Presented To Tuskegee Museum By George Foster Peabody Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—A recent addition to the African museum at Tuskegee Institute is a collection of 31 pieces of primitive African art, the gift of George Foster Peabody, banker and philanthropist of New York City and Columbus, Ga. The pieces were selected from the Blondiau-Theatre Arts collection recently on exhibit in New York City. The items in the Tuskegee collection are representative of the Congo arts and crafts, wood sculpture, ivory and horn carving, metal work, weaving and pottery. There are fabrics of bizarre design, masks of outlandishly exotic mien, fetishes and statuettes, of wierd proportions, strange and silent musical instruments, and a number of ornamental pieces such as hair combs, drinking cups of ivory and spiral brass bracelets. Mr. Peabody's gift constitutes a valuable contribution to the growing collection of primitive art which the Institute maintains in its museum. The 4-story and basement brownstone front building at 143 Lefferts place, Brooklyn, was gutted by fire from the first floor to the top on Tuesday morning, about 11 o'clock, entailing a loss of $8,000 to $10,000. The building is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Richard Flint, who live in the basement noor, it is reported, renting the other floors to roomers. The fire started on the first floor, spreading to the stairs and from floor to floor to the roof. A 5-year old child, whose mother works out, was said to have been locked in a room on the first floor, and it is suspected that the child may have started the fire by playing with matches. When the mother returned from work later on, the child was missing, and for a few minutes the distracted woman created tremendous excitement in a frenzied search for her baby. She quieted down after someone told her the child was safe. A woman on the top floor, the front windows of which vopen on a ledge or coping about a foot wide, was pursued to the window by the flames, and in her terror was about to jump to the street. Bystanders screamed to her not to jump, and in the meantime, Theodore Warren of 146 Lefferts place, an employee of the B. M. T., gained entrance to the house next door, at 141, and made his way to the roof, which is one story lower than the building which was on fire. He persuaded the woman, who yelled that she was scorching, to make her way along the projecting ledge about five or six feet to the corner of the building and then to jump about eight feet to the roof of the adjoining building and then to jump about eight feet to the roof of the adjoining building. Firemen, in fighting the flames, had to go into houses on both sides of 143, and it is reported that in 141 they discovered a hooch still in full operation. A policeman was put on guard, and about 9 elkock Tuesday night, a patrol wagon backed up in front of the house and the still, a quantity of mash and materials for making hooch were acheed. Arrests were made but the identity of those taken was not disclosed. NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1927 JOHN W.

JONES Fisk Head Urges Students At State College To Develop Idealism Nashville, Tenn.—"A man with a slovenly mind is as dangerous to a community" as a man with typhoid fever or small pox," declared President Jones of Fisk University, in an address to the students and faculty of Tennessee State College, Sunday evening, April 3, at the beginning of the institution's health work. Dr. Jones emphasized the importance, of idealism and urged that college youths and genuine entities in society and not illusions of disappointment. "Be pumps of clear, clean, sparkling water." Of all the requisites for success in life, dependability is the most outstanding declared the speaker. The world is looking for men who do the right things instinctively. Success in a crisis is invariably the logical outcome of years of systematic thinking and planning. The students challenged the college groups as future leaders to the "connected windmills rather than unconnected windmills," a speaker was presented by the Supreme Circle Club, which organization sponsors Negro Health Week in the school.

Arthur Davis Of Hampton Makes High Rating In Scholarship. Thirty students of Columbia University, each with a scholastic average over a 3 year period of no less than "A minus," were elected to membership in the Phi Beta Kappa, an honorary scholastic fraternity, on Monday, April 11. There was one Negro among the thirty, Arthur Paul Davis, 23, of Hampton Va., and he stood as one of the best students in the group. Davis received his preparatory training at Hampton Institute.

Reports say that Mr. Malone is improving and that part of the time he is rational. The hearing on the receivership has been postponed at the request of Mr. Malone's attorneys. So long as Malone remains in Illinois it is unlikely an attempt will be made to have him examined mentally. Another Report. Another report from St. Louis states that Malone's condition is critical and that he is under guard night and day. It is said that in his more quiet moments he is unable to hold a sustained conversation and that he views his guards as school pupils aids tries to teach them. It is feared that unless his condition improves it might be necessary to remove Mr. Malone from the St. Mary's Hospital in East St. Louis, Ill., to an institution for the deranged.

Pres. Peacock Is Charged With "Jimcowing" By Deposed Teacher Raleigh, N. C.—On April 8, president J. L. Peacock of Shaw University, backed up by J. Melville Broughton, a member of the board of trustees, and a State Senator from Wake County, took definite measures to rid himself and the white members of the faculty from the irritating personality of Professor Lewis K. McMilan, head of the Department of Old Testament Literature, by sending him a check for his April salary, $150, and notifying him to get off Shaw University premises, without delay. It suspending 'Prol. McMilan' from performing any further service for Shaw University on account of your conduct unbecoming a member of the faculty. Dr. Peacock was actuated by McMilan's action in writing to the trustee board and the American Baptist Home Mission Society, under date of March 31, charging that President Peacock fostered segregation and color distinctions among members of the faculty, and also was lacking in ability as president of the school. White Teachers On Faculty Dr. Peacock has a number of white teachers on the Shaw faculty, and he himself enjoys an unusual popularity among the white citizens of Raleigh. In fact he is often called upon to fill the pulpit of the First Baptist Church, one of the oldest and most aristocratic congregations in the city. With the evident aim of please southern white seminarians, President Peacock is charged by Professor McMilan with instituting the principle of segregation in the school management, to the mental humiliation and physical discomfort of the colored teachers. In his letter to the truites and to the Home Mission Society, Professor McMilan charged that white teachers are given a separate building, facing the front of the campus, and that they have a private dining room, while the colored teachers have to live about in the student dormitories, in rooms that are poorly furnished, having to clean up, their own rooms, and having to get their meals in the dining room with the students. He wrote further: Charged Jim Crowism "It is clearly, gentlemen, the practice of jim crowism and segregation. "The Negro teachers have for the most part had splendid contacts in northern university. They think something of themselves and they are not unacustomed to the practice of equality of treatment; the students likewise fee the sting of this insult. They are college students now and can see through a situation. Even in Georgia and in Alabama and in Tennessee there are schools in which the ugly practice of Shaw is absent, Shaw is in North Carolina." Shaw is a Baptist school, established here just after the war, and is operated by the Baptist Home Mission Society, New York City, and has always had a white man as president. Social and civic relations between the white teachers at Shaw and Raleigh citizens have always been extremely cordial. Professor McMillan was born in South Carolina, and graduated from Howard, and Vale Universities, with the bachelor of divinity degree from the latter school. He is a Unitarian, and is recognized as a man of ability. He is finishing his first year at Shaw, and report has it that President Peacock had determined to get rid of him at end of the school year. The letter to the trustees, and the New York office evidently precipated immediate action. Richmond, Va.—A white man, "F. F. V.," able lawyer, tells the legislature of Virginia that his state is without popular government founded upon the will of the people of Virginia freely and fairly expressed. Such in effect was embodied in a memorandum submitted to and argued before the committee on "justice" of the Virginia legislature's committee here April 4 by Henry W. Anderson. Mr. Anderson, lilt-white republican, one of the constantly defrared republican, gubernatorial candidates, is the attorney, who almost single-handedly prevented the gigantic rail merger attempted by the Van Sweringens a year or so ago. not either impress his hearers or readers: He compounded a paradox. His greater offense, however, lies in the fact that, at the very time when Southern U. S. Senators are "assuring" the country The present constitution of the Old Dominion state was proclaimed in 1902 for the purpose of distrangling the people of the state it literally deicitizenized most of the whites and completely eliminated Nordic republicans from voice or participation in state government. To complete statutory domination of the oligarchy a new constitution was proposed, consideration. Heatings were conducted on it by the Virginia "solons," and it was before this committee that Mr. Anderson would, if he was a democracy, would be a colloid, inheaped and white veneer, proud of protesting and eliminating of Virginia's like-white republicans from participation in things political. Col. Anderson (since he is Virginia democrat at heart) did HALF MILLION HAS BEEN GIVEN NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOLS Rosenwald Has Contributed $500,136 During The Past Ten Years Raleigh, N. C.—Rosenwald foundation contributions to Negro schools in North Carolina have just passed the half million dollar amount learned from W. F. Credle, Rosenwald superintendent for this state today. "This is much more than has been given in any other state," said Mr. Credle. The exact amount given in North Carolina period of about 10 years is $500,136. The total value of the 623 Rosenwald schools in North Carolina are $,315,100. A half million of the amount given is contributed by dilutors associated with $350,000 was raised by North Carolina negroes and $,201,700 came from public school funds. The total pupil capacity of the Rosenwald schools operating in North Carolina is today $77,490, said Credle. The teacher capacity is,1,721. 21st A. D. Republicans Making Rapid Strides The regular meeting of the 33rd Election District Republicans of the 21st Assembly District was held on Wednesday, April 6, at the residence of W. M. Stozer, president 152 West 144th street. The meeting was well attended by the enrolled Republicans of the district. After the regular business of the meeting was trainseted, speeches were made by the following persons: Dr. James, J. Jones, Mrs. Annie R. Traeuesce, Eugene Jones and Claude Moore. The league pledged its support of the Republican candidates in the coming elections. Rapid strides are being made by the league to interest the 'enrolled Republicans of the district who have drifted from the organization. A mass meeting will take place in the near future at which time it is planned to have leading Republican leaders of the country. Compounded A Paradox. Raleigh "New Negro" "Population" of Virginia) has decreased — from the whole population, and there is no danger of their controlling the state. "There are only eight counties (total 100) in the state where the Negro population is more than 50 per cent. Any "danger" in these few counties could be remedied by a cooperation of legislative districts. For— "There is no limit on the application of local suffrage restrictions. And the application of two-thirds of the white vote of Virginia." 'Republicans Suggestions. Having pointed the way to a, lily white government, Colonel Anderson submitted his memorandum of "memorandum of "republican suggestions" for "liberalizing government Virginians" for Virginia." That popular government founded upon the will of the people freely and fairly expressed may be restored to Virginia"; and, 22 That to this end appropriate motion may be taken and legislation passed for the suffrage subject only to such limitations as may be necessary to insure the fair and honest expression of the popular will." Thus Colonel Anderson compounds his paradox; for his proposes emely as can be understood to loudly squiggle. Even lily-white here cannot understand how government may be popularized and liberalized, based on the will of the people freely and fairly expressed, if a majority of citizens eight or constitutively out of their freedom of will and fairness of expression at the polls. Whites Are Diefranchised. They contend that forasmuch as popular government rests on the will of the majority, this would be destroyed at the outset through "reapportionment of legislative districts" exercised to wipe out legitimate majorities, and that an oligarchy could so reapportion as to wipe out white majorities which might oppose its will, just as an overwhelming majority of white Virginians have been disfranded by the present organic law. They cannot see it! There is another cross section which wonders just how far will President Coolidge and National Republican Committee Chairman Richard Nixon be framed by Anderson memorandums for fetched title—"Republican suggestions for liberalizing government in Virginia"? ‘tsouiblymian’ Greuthals: Statentent D&W. 6..

Washington, th great American educator, and fourid ex and principal of Tuskegee Insti tute, Tuskegee, Ala. ‘The same idea ‘on a smaller scale, had been carrie out prior to the suggestion Sf Mr Washington through the efforts of th Virginia Organization Soiety, 0 which Major R.

Zh Original Plan. The origina} plan for Health Weel ‘Was similar in its purpose to that o' the Gean Up Week which is carrie out as part of the activities of: th Boards of Health in various ¢itie throughout the country. The activi ties during Health Weck at this time however, have broadened, until todas all measures and problems whic ‘are concerned with health and life an given consideration, ‘The death rate amorig Negroes ji considerably greater than it is among the rest of the population. This i particularly true with regard to tw berculosis, “diseases of the heart blood vessels and kidneys, and foi those diseases which very largely af. fect infants and young children. These fact are very important for the Ne- gro if he expects or hopes to main- tain in this country his racial identity. Ie is equally ‘as “important for hin to comprehend’ ttiese facts, if he is to lose his racial identity in the great melting pot in America. Whatever his future, he mst give concern about his contribution tothe future health and fife of this country. The fact that the Negro has a high death rate, and this must of necessity mean that there is within the race @ great deal of sickness which leads to death, is a vitai matter to the Negro, himself; but it is of no ‘less importance to’ the entire commun- ity and to the entire country, for bee is no way by which we can isolate these problems and confine them {o any particular people or to any particular locatity. The Negro constitutes about one- twelfth of the population of the United States and his numbers .are sufficient to make his problems, wheth- er they be health or otherwise, of vital concer to all the people of this country. While he lives a great part of his life with and among his own people, yet his daily activities, his oc- cupation, his work, bring him in di- rect contact every day, every hour, dimost every minute, with Jarge por- tions of the other part of the popu: lation, The heaith problem, the disease problem, the life problem of the Negro becomes, therefore an in- timate part of the life prob- Jem, the health problem and disease protflem of the entire community; and while these distressing facts about the high death rate, and the large incidence of sickness among” the Ne- groes, must be brought clearly and ftequently before and to: the race it: self, it cannot in any way be ignored by those among whom and with whom ‘the Negro is in daify contact. Correction Steps, Needed. ‘While it is important that every ‘one should know something of thi: problem of health and disease among Negroes, it Is.of fac more import ance that we seek to learn the cause: Gf this condition; and it is most im: portant that we take the necessary steps to correct this comdition. Why does the Negro have a higt death rate; a death rate higher thar other people ainorig whom he lives? Has God created him different from otter human beings? Ie there some: thing in his physical make-up. which is essentially different from that of other races? Are his heart, limgs kidneys, blood vessels and other or- gans in any way different from or inferior to simHar orgens in other people? ‘The examinations ot milllons o! recruits for service in the late World War, thorougily and conchusively proved that there i no essential dif Picdcccs ea ‘ahaa GaSe aca aw al eee ee ee, man inferior physicals, the cau this condition are -evidently outside| of. the, individeal himself, and should, therefore, be reasonably easy of cor- rection. * a “There ib nothing that is “to ¢on- ducive to health, happiness and at the,seme time auch. a large factor in the prevention of disease and the pro- longing of life, as ‘favorable condi tions under which to live, And to live under favorable conditions re- quires first of all a reasonable earning apdy: It is a fact which cannot bear diapute that the Negro. is lowest in the economic scale of phis country. Very largely, his work is that of + alled common labor, and this kind fof labor always brings the least re- ward in terms of dollars and cents This means, of course, that the Ne- Jaro has fess money with which to pur- chase the common necessities of life less money with which to keep him self ia good health, less money te provide those things which help to keep away disease. Common tabor jalto is the Kind of work ‘which re quires the greatest amount of ex: posure, and requires the greatest ex penditure of physical energy. ‘This condition which places th Negro so tow in the economic scale effects aM of the members of the ‘family, the father,” the mother and the children, and it would be quite natural. to fexpeet, under such condi tions as these, a physical organism that would not only contract disease very -easily, but in the same propor. tion would be less easy to throw of disease. Housing Is Important Of mo less Importance than the economic factor in this “great healt. problem is the factor of housing con ditions. It ix well known that in all cities, the Negro generally is relegate to the feast desirable portion’ of th community. He is the involuntary and unwiling victim of | residential segregation, and segregated areay ar always less desirable than the othe: parts of a community. The houses in these segregated arears are always very old in construction, and ‘these very did houses do not conform te in any sense to our mdern ideas .of hygiene and sanitation, Added to this is the fact that Ne- Broes are ussully curged*high refit [sorder, to make all emls cect," is, therefore, frequently necessary to put a maximum +” perscns iti a mini- mum of space. Rooms hardly~fit :0 take care of one person aré usually occupied by three, four or more, and apartments hat would be comfortable for not more than three persons, are frequently occupied by eight, ten or more. Such, conditions must be produc- tive of disease and early death. Two Important Facts*~ We thus have brocght clearly to us two important facts in this great health problem. The “first one’ is, that the-kind of work, and the re- ward for the kind of wotk, ‘that Ne- grocs largely do, are finportant {ac tors in the production of disease among Negroes, and the equally im- portant fact, that whete he must live, where be must sleep is so often’ the kind of place in which we could not expect heaRhful conditions to pre: vail. And these things are the things over which the Negroes does not have & great deal of control: but they are conditions which are imposed upon him by the ‘community in which he lives, and We cajt therefore re-empha- sizé the statement that the problem is not ip any sense, so far as ils cor- rection is concerned, a problem. for Negroes themselves to solve alone, ‘but 2 problem for the entire commun- Nashville Members Of Phi Beta Sigma Frat” - Honor Dr. Alain Locke - Nashville, Tenn—Sembers of Kap- pa Qtuapter of-the Psi Beta Sigma Fraternity gave a smoker for.

Further, the mother and grand- mother averred, the baby did not die after three days, but died on res ft day, and that the’ ceath certificate, signed by Dr, Ayers, who was called in by the famity. gave pneumonia as cause of death. Criticised Nurse Service. ., Severe criticisms were made by Mrs Bolin and her daughter on the alleged failure of the Social Service Bureau at Harlem Hospi- tal and the Visiting Nurse Service to. function promptly in rendering aid to the mother after the pre- cipitate delivery of the baby had occurred, but it developed; after further discussion, that there had been a imisuindersanding as to where to apply for aid which caused the delay. Mrs. Bolin states that her son- in-law, Mr. Hodge, when his wife was stricken after reaching home, had mim out and gotten a police- man to send in an ambulance call, The ambulance surgeon was Dr. Cohn of Harlem Hospital, who gave Mrs. Hodge the necessary at tention. But on leaving, says Mts. Bolin, Dr. Cohn told Mr. Hodge fo apply at Harlem Hospitel So- cial Service Bureau and a nurse would’ be sent ‘to take care of his wife, instead of sending him to the Visiting Nurse Service -office at 22 West 136th street. As a result of this misdirection, Mr. Hodge went first to the hos. pital to apply for a nnrse with the resuly that when he réached the Visiting Nuse Service office, the nurses had all been sent out on their morning rounds. He was told that a nurse would be sent at 2 o'clock, when they started on the afternoon tour of duty. we Murves: Come te; Then Mrs. Bolin, waxing tm- patient at the delay, sent in a call to the Washington Heights . office Jef the Metropolitan ‘Insurance Co, ia which the family holds policies, asking for-a nurse under the com: pany’s hore nursing provision.

THOMPSON Saturday, April 30, will be the opening of the fifth season of the Eastern Colored League. On the first day Co. Strother's Harrisburg Giants will travel to Hilldale Park to play Hilldale. At Mount Holly, N. J., Dick Lundy and his Bicharach Giants, champions of last season, will play the Lincoln Giants. On the following day, the Sunday parks will get under way, with the Cuban Stars playing their first game at the David's Stadium in a double header with the Royal Giants, the Harrisburg Giants will go to Baltimore for a double header with the Black Sox, and Hilldale, will face the Lincoln Giants in a double header at the Protectory Oval in New York Down in Atlantic City the Bacharach Giants are making every effort to repeat their performance of last year. The Bees, with an already balanced club, have been scouring the country for additional talent to make them more formidable. When they found that Jesse Hubbard, the former Brooklyn Royal Star, was on the market, no time was lost in signing him to a Bacharach contract. Hubbard will give the Atlantic City contingent additional hitting strength and is a good outfielder. He was formerly, a pitcher and was converted into an outfielder when his arm went bad. Should the big Texan regain the cunning of his good right arm, then the Bacharachs will have made a ten strike. The Cuban Stars will leave Havana Monday, April 18, and will arrive in New York on the twenty-first. Among the new players making the trip this season with the team are Lajurida, a new catcher who will help the dependable Fernandez; Valdez, an addition to the pitching staff; Milouo, who will replace Porfirio; and third The Cubans were all campers last season unto about ninth before the end of the season. The jump was said to have been due to the pitchers having played well both summer and winter without any jump. This winter, Oscail did not play at all and several of the other members of the team have had a real and the team is expected to be stronger than ever before. The amateur basketball season will come to a close Easter Monday afternoon, April 18, with a game between the Omega Psi and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternities.

"Text" worked out with, the Lincoln Giants in their first two games and appears to be in tip top condition. He got two hits in three times at bat Sunday and was the peppest man in the lineup. Gerard Williams, one of the best of the present day shortstops, has completely recovered from a long illness and is reported to have signed up with Manager John Henry Lloyd of the Lincoln Giants for the present season.

"Don't Tell the Wife" At Roosevelt Theatre Irene Rich, in her new Warner Brother's picture, "Don't Tell the Wife," which comes to the Roosevelt Theatre on Saturday for a run of three days, is cast as a sophisticated young Parisian matron, who, in a series of whimsically swift and amusing happenings finds her beloved and gallivanting husband has been led in a direction that is nearly astray through succumbing to the almost international preference for blondes. The blonde in the case is Lallyan Talisman, the same Lallian who was the lady who lived across the street in Lubitsch's "So This Is Paris." In "Don't Tell the Wife," she plays an unmarried illirt, whose preference seems to be for men who are already married In this case her bright and roving eyes light upon Hutley Gordon. But it is not her, eyes that set him alfame. It is when he sees her blonde hair that he realizes there's a dance in the old bow yet. So they go and dance William Demarest, as a young man about Paris, which is decidedly more than a young man about town in any other town, begins to interest the wife (Irene Rich). They hit it off so well together that they decide upon a Paris divorce, for even Parrishans get divorced in Paris. It is at this juncture that the short, rat and merry 'Otus Harlan steps into the picture in the role of a Parisian Magistrate. He decides to its things for everybody. And he does. The result is that he hikes a divider and then the two couples slip off on their honeymoons before he can stop them. It is here, in the delicate handling of an extremely delicate situation that the Galic fissesse of the Austrian director, Paul Stein, saves the situation. He has turned out a comedy of frosty fun.

All the thrills of a surrring sea story, beauty and the pirate's body will be seen in this picture, excellently combined to make it one of the screen's best productions. Wait for "Flesh and the Devil" with John Gilbert and Greta Garbo at the Renaissance Theatre. Thursday and Friday, April 21-22. Elinor Glyn Tells Why Clara Bow Was Selected As "It" Star—At Lincoln Why did I select Clara Bow from the thousands of other actresses in Hollywood for the leading feminine role in "IT"? This is the reason. At the time I began work upon "IT" for the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, it was undecided who should appear in the starring role. At the studio one day, when the story was nearly completed, I was introduced to Clara Bow, whom I had never met. I saw instantly that she expressed exactly what I meant. In fact, so much more radiantly did she possess the strange power than did the character in the play I was preparing that I immediately desstraed what had already been accomplished and wrote another story. This latter story was entirely inspired by Miss Bow's personality. Had the entire world been searched, there could have been no better example of a possessors of "it" than this vivacious creature. Miss Bow has that remarkable quality of unselfconsciousness. Her eyes flash like a young fox territorial lobking for rabbits. She is filled with life. She is thinking of nothing else in the world but her work and how she is expressing it. Her very self reacts to every movement of her mind. All of her funny little gestures are not put on or affected. These are a direct result of her thoughts. Another thing about her, she is wiser than almost any woman I have ever encountered. "The Scarlet Letter" At Douglass Theatre The stern intolerance of the early Puritans, their hardships and their fanatical opposition to all that savors of pleasure form the background for Lillian Gish's most sturtiling and dramatic role, in "The Scarlet Letter," filmed from National Hawthorne's classic, and which is now playing at the Douglas Theatre. The Hawthorne story has been placed on the screen with an amazing fidelity under Victor Seastron's direction, and the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature is of a magnitude that lists it among the most important plays of the year. But the interesting thing is the work of Lillian Gish. She entered on the role with a devout spirit akin to that of the actors in the Passion Play, as for six years she has longed to play the story as a tribute to her Puritan ancestors. So she brings to the role of "Hester Prynne" a breadth of understanding that makes the character absolutely live the tragic story of the woman, walled in by intolerance, who bore a brand of shame to shield the man, she loved. The dramatic climax at the pillory gives her an opportunity to rise to sublime heights in her portrayal.

Calta, Bamter area --- THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES THE FIRST AID MAN It was on one of those busy days that the accident occurred. The patient literally throughed with Negroes, brown, some yellow, and some were brown, some yellow, and some were brown. Some of them looked insistent or ignorant, and some gave the impression less than what they seemed—just the thoroughfare, dodging speeding and rockily driven taxis, the orama. Soddenly, this picture was pinned by the nerve-racking grind of a man who the cry came was immediate crowd. Among those who paused was an ordinary booking white to be seen in the crowd. As he was implored the more curious of the injured man might get more air. There was no external evidence he laid perfectly quiet, and paid no attention to him. The only indications on his face. His eyes bulged out a bluish tinge, although he was jet sweat hung on his forehead. The white person noted all three men, he placed the injured man in to the brains would be minimized, water to which he added a dose of the man's lips. Shortly after that an ambulance arrived. The alleviating one stood approached the Samaritan and said "save his life." No, the man wasn't a physician. He was just a graduate of "First whose ability to render first aid can neighborhood. In January, of this year, fifty once, who operate out of the Newate of graduation in the funda. The number might as well have a course were opened to all the nine district. The latter-part of last year is Pullman Company opened classes in Neason, a prominent Negro physic purpose of giving instructions in employees who desired to take the course that the experiment was a failure, vantage of the opportunity was fast. According to one of the grade district seemed to labor under the for the benefit of the company. To that the knowledge of "First Aid" in the home, in the street, and place the Pullman employment. Moreover girl who is thus equipped is a more identically his neighborhood. Considering the advantage it is the event of a wreck, it is this man's made the taking of the courses obliquely to the knowledge of "First Aid" to Mingo, S. Freeman; R. W. Lodge, Brown No. 2, W. H. Stevens, W. I. C. E. Downs, G. W. Elliott; D. Da. Picked Up Here And There It was on one of those busy thoroughfares in Harlem last spring, that the accident occurred. The victim in it happened was literally throughed with Negroes. Some of these were black, some brown, some yellow, and some were betrayal all three of these shades in color. Some of them looked intelligent, some looked neither intelligent or ignorant, and some gave the impression of being nothing more or less than what they received—just persons. As this throughed traversed the thoroughfare, dodging speeding automobiles gigantic motor-trick and rockerly driven taxicabs, the scene presented a pictureque panorama. Suddenly, this picture was puncteted by a piercing screen, follow by the nerve-racking grind of a taxicab's brakes. The spot from which the cry came was immediately surrounded by a curious, inquiring crowd. Among those who panked and shoved his way to the victim was an ordinary looking white man. His was the only white face to be seen in the crowd. As he stooped over the prostrate form, he implored the more curious of the crowd to stand back so that the injured man might get more air. There was no external evidence that the victim was seriously hurt. He laid perfectly quiet, and paid no attention to what was happening around him. The only indications of severe injury he gave were noted in his face. His eyes bulged out abnormally large, his lips took on a bluish tinge, although, he was jet black in color, and large drops of great lunge on his forehead. The white person noted all this. With the assistance of two other men, he placed the injured man in a position so that the flow of blood to the brains would be minimized. Some one handed him a glass of water to which he added a dose of spirits of ammonia and held it to the man's lips. Shortly after that an ambulance from the neighborhood's hospital arrived. The alleviating one stood back as the white coated intern approached the injured man. Giving him a hazy glance the intern turned to the Samaritan and said "Your prompt aid probably helped to save his life." No, the man wasn't a physician; he wasn't even a medical student. He was just a graduate of "First Aid" to the injured. A white man whose ability to render first aid came in fortuitously handy in a Negro neighborhood. In January, of this year, fifty or more Negroes of the Pullman service, who operate out of the New York district, received each a certificate of graduation in the fundamentals of "First Aid" to the injured. The number might as well have been four or five hundred; for the course were opened to all the nine hundred Negro employees in the district. The latter-part of last year the Safety First Department of the Pullman Company opened classes at Mott Haven Yards, with Dr. Fitz Nearon, a prominent Negro physician of this city, in charge, for the purpose of giving instructions in "First Aid" treatment to those employees who desired to take the courses. And while it cannot be said that the experiment was a failure, the number of those who took advantage of the opportunity was far below what it should have been. According to one of the graduates, some of the employees in the district seemed to labor under the impression that the instruction was for the benefit of the company. They didn't seem to realize, said he, that the knowledge of "First Aid" is a service which may be rendered in the home, in the street, and places which have no connections with the Pullman employment. Moreover that every man, woman, boy or girl who is thus equipped is a more helpful member of society, and incidentally his neighborhood. Considering the advantage it would be to the traveling public in the event of a wreck, it is this man's idea that the company should have made the taking of the courses obligatory with the porters. Among the New York employees who took the courses and are qualified to render "First Aid" to the injured are C. H. Hunter, J. H. Mingo, S. J. Freeman; R.L. Wade, W. C. Taylor, C. H. Brooker, S. W. Brown No. 2, W. H. Stevens, W. F. Roberts, W. Hawkins, W. Smith, C. E. Downs, G. W. Elliott; D. Davant, P. Bracey and J. C. Clark. The New York Pullman Porter's Band and Orchestra led by its bandmaster, Lieut. Porter, and managed by Edward Efforts, a veteran poter maintained the reputation of New York City at the concession of all the Pullman Porter's bands, and Orchestras, which was held in Chicago during the week of April. The New York band received contest, which was held in the Chicago Coliseum, the largest auditorium. The annual Memorial Day of the Pullman Porter's Benefit Association of America, will be come by the various lodges of the Association of the Pullman. The Penn.

The presenting of the Pullman artists and maids of the New York district under the auspices of the official personnel, will be held at Imperial Elk's Home, West 129th street on Tuesday, April 19. A an attendance is expected. If it is reported that the porters and贮木 will hear something to their advantage.

Allen Grants Marriage Plea of Miners Through the special permission of Judge William Allen in the Court of General Sessions Oliver Brown, 17, and Vivian Dore, 15, were married in this city on April 12. Brown was arrested several weeks ago, on complaint of the Children's Society, on a charge of rape. The charge was reduced to assault and Oliver pleaded guilty to this charge. When the case came before Judge Allen for sentence, Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal, who represented the mother of the girl, told the court that Oliver was willing to marry Vivian, and that both parents had consented. He urged that they be permitted to marry as the best solution to the problem. When objections were raised by the representative of the children's Society, Judge Allen said he saw no reason why he should not give his consent to the marriage and summoned an officer to escort the couple and their parents to City Hall where a license was secured 50 Tots To Get Easter Clothing From C.

Swing Room Having stated our position regard- could be being our conception of the term "civ- ganizationality" in last week's article, we shall grob now proceed to apply it to the development of our original theme. As postal before stated, it has been our ob- comparation that much unnecessary fric- tion and bad temper frequently de- step an- velopes between post office patrons and postal window clerk, due to a lack of civility. And from the point of view of the patron it is entirely obvious that the window employee is the offender. Yet from impartial observation, we believe that there is much truth in the window employer's contention that in an overwhelming majority of cases the fault is with the public. But aside from the two points of view above enumerated, we believe that as regards those locations where the greatest amount of friction and bad temper develops, and faults beyond the local actors, traceable to the official attitude of the P.O. Department in its policy of clerical assignments. To be special, it appears that by far the greatest amount of friction between the two classes named, occurs in neighborhoods that furnish aarga Negro patronage. Almost without exception, the window clerks are white men—men who feel that they are dealing with "inférieur" and who consequently have developed a "superiority complex" Negro patrones on the other hand, retest this conception of their status, formed in the minds of white clerks and expressed in tone sludgings and deliberate condescending conduct, and are often quick to give voice to their treatment—with accompanying verbal preworks. Clearly, in such a situation, the use of Negro, clerks at some windows would go far to alleviate the trouble. Such assignments of Negro clerks would gain the confidence of inexperienced Negro patrons with whom most of the misunderstanding arises, and the causes of their difficulties would be given greater sympathetic treatment. Some will ask why this is not done and [the answer involves explanations that bring out the fault of the P.O. department The theory of seniority has been repeatedly subscribed to by the department but as regards some clerical assignments it has required a "paper" theory, not being put into actual practice. There are many efficient and capable Negro clerks in the service who are the seniors of white clerks assigned to the windows. In order to avoid assigning these senior clerks to vacancies that occur from time to time among window clerks, the department hides the mask that "the best interest of the service" requires the assignment of white clerks to such vacancies. The term "best interest of the service" is so elastic as to be incapable of exact definition and can be construed to mean whatever will it the exigence of the moment. Personally, it is hard to see how the assignment of a capabile and public Negro clerk will not promote or maintain the best interest of the service, especially in Negro districts that furnish a large Negro patronage. Then, too, the slogan, "Best interest of the service" seems to take an amounly. Is not the P. P. Department a public service, run to promote the best interests of the public? And could it not be argued that the best interests of the public could best, or equally as well, be served in the specific situation already referred to by the assignment of Negro clerks to serve that public? It is the writer's common that the department's failure to give merited recognition for faithful service on the part of emplys. Negro postal employers in the matter of window assignments could be remedied if Negro civic or organizations and other influential Negro bodies or individuals seriously requested such assignments by the postal authorities. It would be a comparatively easy thing to find out the best way of going about this step, and this article is a challenge to such bodies or individuals to give some thought to the subject to determine whether the matter merits their attention. Alpha Phi Alpha Frat Entertained At Graigg's Dr. Peyton J. F. Anderson, Dr. Charles H. Roberts and the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes were hosts to Alpha Phi Alpha men at the regular monthly meeting of Alpha Gamma Lambda Chapter with a dinner at Craigs' Tuesday, April Dr. Chamung H.
