Woman Burned To Death On 1st Night Spent In Classon Avenue Apartment As Mysterious Explosion Starts Fire Stark tragedy followed close upon the heels of Mrs. Catherine Ford, Mrs. Helen Delk and Mrs. Delk's husband when they moved on Wednesday, May 4, from their former home to new quarters at 547 Classon avenue, near Fulton street, Brooklyn, a four-story red brick structure. For with the dawn of Thursday morning Mrs. Delk body was a charred hulk Mr. Delk was in hospital, fighting for life from the cecs of burns; and Mrs. Ford was in the same hospital with a broken leg and other injuries received when she jumped from the window to escape the flames that brought death and danger to the Delk. The disaster started in the kitchen of the third floor apartment, the Secretary of State, Mike Ellis Crudap, a widow, and her 14-year old son a man named Hajley, said to have been her husband, and some roomers. Just what caused the disaster could not be figured out. The first vigil registration had been conducted by a fire marshal, several detectives and an insurance inspector. The second or parlor floor, was occupied by Mrs. Gertrude Barksdale; her sister, Miss Frances Murray; her daughter, Miss Eliza Barksdale, and Miss Lena Morris, a young friend of Miss Eliza. There were two toomers on this floor, and the toomers were absent when the tragedy occurred. The basement floor was tenanted by Leon Morrison, his wife and four children. Heard The Explosion. The most lucid description is given by Mrs. Barksdale, who states that she was awakened sometime after o'clock Thursday morning, and that she was in the sound of the explosion had aroused others in the neighborhood and so discovery of flames pouring from the back windows of the third floor tuckily followed. There was a delay, it is said, a fabulous fifteen minutes before the firemen came on the scene. In the meantime, the flames had sprea-dunward to the top floor, and the room which was being occupied for the first time by Mr. and Mrs. Delk was soon enveloped in flames. Mrs. Delk was called, and that she and her husband started out. The managed to get outside, but it was thought the woman was overcome before she could escape, for it said her body was near the rear of the room, in accordance to whom she saw her, and the body, shroken in burning, had the semblance of that of a small child. So the report sent out that a baby was lost in the fire, and firemen els in search of the corpse, but none was found. Searched For Still. The discovery of what appeared to be several tubs of 'mash' in the kitchen of the Crudup apartment led t o report that the fire had been caused by a explosion of a caustic ST-170, which was stained up by reports that numerous complaints had been registered by other tenants and neighbors against tenants on that floor charging disorderly and disturbing conduct. This led to an exhaustive investigation by officials, but no trace of a still, or pipes, should be found. Another victim was George Ford, a brother to Mrs. Ford, who succeeded in making his way to the roof of the house. In flaming to the building he received injuries that necessitated his removal to a hospital. The flames gutted the rear rooms on all floors of the building, humming downward, also. All of the tenants had been arrested. A Franked lawyer and real estate dealer of S2 Classon avenue manages the property. Though a private settlement arranged, this week, the suit for $10,000 damages filed by Perry Bradford, well known, song writer, against the Amsterdam News, has been uncontested. Mr. Bradford was suing for damages because an alleged libelous article published in connection with bankruptcy proceedings that were brought against his wife several years ago. Vernon C. Reddick of the law firm of Garett and Reddick, who represented Mr. Bradford in the action, refused to disclose the terms of the settlement, but Mr. Bradford was telling his friends he received $1,000 to discontinue the action.

WHITE FAMILIES SAVED FROM FLOOD BY NEGRO WORKER Builds Raft and Rescues 25 Families, Feeding Them Three Days WHITE FAMILIES SAVED FROM FLOOD BY NEGRO WORKER Builds Raft and Rescues 25 Families, Feeding Them Three Days New Orleans, Liz—Following the flooding of certain sections of the city by the recent record rainfall, the heroism of Samuel White, the railroad employee who and a friend twenty-five white families, is being warmly acclaimed by the public and the press. When the waters began to overfill the suburb of White, who works in the adjacent stock yards, hastily built a raft from commanded timbers, voyaged among the submerged homes and brought twenty-five families to safety. The raft placed his own home at the disposal of the refugees, but that was soon crowded, and he provided shelter and straw beds for the others in box cars in the raroad wards. His wife was busy preparing hot coffee and food, and from Friday night until Monday morning the two furnished meals to the refugees and helped nurse a family of children who were ill at the time of their rescue. Paper Praises Action Commenting editorially on the incident, the Times-Picayune says: "This sustained and self-sacrificing price by the district white neighbors deserves place upon the permanent record, as surely as it will hold place in the memories of the families who were thus rescued and fed and sheltered. All rescuers are loud in their praise of White's heroic work. The entire community loins in that praise, which might fittingly be broadened, we think, to include Mrs. White, who cooked the meals and kept the coffees, who were brought out of their flooded homes by her husband and his hastily improvised raft."

Malone, who filed suit on January 13 for an equal partition of the Poro College properties, alleging to hold a fifty-fifty share as a full-fledged partner, at the same time asking for the appointment of a receiver.

He is being presented to a Harlem audience for the first time by the local Fisk, University Alumni Association, which is anxious to obtain the moral and financial support of New York Negroes in the higher education of their race in the South. To Extend Curriculum There is no institution in that section of the South today which gives *Negro students* graduate training in Law, business administration, education, etc., and the graduates of Fisk are anxious to have their new president enlarge the curriculum of their Alma Mater, this type of its geographical location, its tradition of high scholarship, thorough training and splendid culture make Fisk an ideal center for a real Negro university. To develop this type of work, the Fisk authorities have entered earnestly upon a campaign to seize the university, to former students and friends of the institution.

Business and professional people whose centers gave an average of $100,000 in hope is hoped that the residents of New York will not let other cities outstrip them in supporting so worthy cities. and that his allegations in that particular were unpenable.

Washington, D. C.—He may be famed for his "silence," but certainly President Coolidge is noted for what may be termed "proverbial good luck." For despite the record for being hamstring by his own folk in Congress, Lady Luck rides the Coolidge star and, like the legendary, lily of the coal mine, that always came back white, though fondled, by miners' begrimed hands, silent Cal lands at the top—"eventually, if not now." Right now, there's noop the least doubt of President Coolidge's titular leadership of the Republican party. And at the risk of being ashamed by justly resentful blacks, this writer, maker, writer, and for some substantial recognition by the Administration in consequence, makers and red-shirt wavers—Heftin, Blease and Caraway, in the Senate. Blease, whose bark is worse than his bite anyway, has wonderfully improved by contacts. He has more sense and is infinitely more susceptible to cultural influences than Heftin or Caraway. So Coolidge luck though, in this instance, it involves intense suffering Borah Now In Line. Not a single 'southern Democrat' has been a more persistent opponent of 'anything' and 'everything helpful to the Negro brought up in Congress than has been Senat- Bryan. He opposed the Dyer Bill, he opposed the Dyer Bill, he confirmed Cohen's confirmation in deference to the custom of Senatorial courtes- —position on purely racial grounds by the Louisiana Senators. Opposed: Cohen's Confirmation And when the final drive for Cohen's confirmation was on he denied. Whitfield McKinley's request, for his vote to confirm, with the statement—'This is an insult to the State.' He landed on the floor of the Senate that the South had accomplished Nigero disfranchisement within Constitutional limits. Yet, in his debate with Dr. Butler at Boston, Senator Borah said, that he is as much for enforcement of the 10th and 15th Amendments as he is for enforcements of any part of the Constitution, and would give of his humble efforts to this end. Gandin, that they was reasonable, as well as conscientious, nevertheless his work in defeating conflagration of Charles Berger Warrior as President Coolidge's Attorney General, kept from the Department of Justice one of the best and most sincere friends the Bush and Obama and the Bush on one President's warzors and this removes a disturbing force of Administration Negro negotiation.

It never will be told just how bad off Arkansas, worst victim of the floods, is. A miniature earthquake even rattled close to Caraway's hometown of Jonesboro (shook North Jonesboro). Robinson, a colleague, Robinson—official Democratic Senate leader—and Pat Harrison, and the rest of the flood-beltters, are virtually at the mercy of the Administration. Their constituents will want some sort of permanent relief from these storms and washout and this relief must come from the Republican leadership. They have learned their bitter lesson, namely, that as choice between voteless Negro and flooded bedroom, peace and happiness lay in flooded bedroom; they know now that both are simultaneously impossible. Must Have Relief " Hence, mere opposition to President Coolidge and talk will have to give away to constructive assistance in relief of the scourge of Mississippi and tributaries in Nebraska. Therefore, the President will be able to get his nominees—black and white—confirmed. For deprived of Borah and the flood-beloved, Norris: the insurgent and his colleague.

The could-be serviceable Farm Loan System is to be made so serviceable that the next Farm Bill shall hardly be more than an improvement on the present Farm Loan Act. The President has the "presignation" that the Farm Loan Office and Executive Mellon turned it over to Executive Mellon, who, with his associates, are skilled in the ways of finance. "Dirt" farmer managers must- go! This will prove a boon to black farmers, constituting 15 per cent. of all farmers who are doing business on an invested capital of over two billions of dollars. The almost impossible for Negro farmers to get any assistance from the recent delinquency of the Farm Loan Bureau—and that surely need it. Much is expected of the new regime—and just so. .Absurd "Sailor Story." A "sailor story" was circulated here recently, in reference to the Registrators of the Treasury. It was that a Negro was picked for the post; was summoned here and not to be hard on the Klan in his position that he immediately returned home and joined the Klan, and, consequently, was dropped by the Administration. This story was absurd, made from whole cloth; but there's something in the wind annot the Registrators and a Negro. The probability is that the Negro Register of the Treasury-to-be will be housed in the main Treasury Building, with a few, clerk, titlehead of the jim-crow" annex where the Registrators hold forth with a large force of askets and clerks, with some of the functions now rested in the office transferred to another bureau.

Then, there Party V. Howard, active as a acre, and married honey too. The special Assistant Attorney General has rendered good advice to some needy individuals of the race—not from Mississippi. But the Mississippi floods—they brought death and misery to thousands. To President Coolidge, however, they brought back party control, with Lady Luck riding all the streets. CLARENCE DARROW MADE. N.

He advised me to take the "Favorite Prescription," "Golden Medical Discovery," "Pleasant Pellets" and also to use "Lotion Tables," which I did, according to directions. I soon began to improve in strength and weight. I am now the proud mother of a ten-weeks-old daughter that I desired so much. I have three little sons.

Park Ave. New York City ANOTHER TRADITION UPSET. Much of the literature of today is devoted to upsetting the traditions of the past and throwing new light on historical events and the personalities of those who took part in them. Much of the glamour that surrounded the early fathers of the republic, such as Washington, Jefferson and Franklin, has been dispelled and the analytical student of their times has created for them a human setting, which takes account of their frailties, as well as their sterner virtues. On the other hand, in his book, "Damaged Souls," Gamaliel Bradford has sought to rehabilitate such subjects of popular odium as Benedict Arnold, Thomas Paine, Aaron Burr and others, by reciting mitigating circumstances of their checkered careers. In this field of biographical research and analysis, it was given to James E. Amos the onerous task of confuting the old adage that no man is a hero to his valet. Mr. Amos was for twenty years the personal attendant of Theodore Roosevelt and was the only person present when the former president died. His story of the years spent with the Roosevelt family in the White House and at Oyster Bay is told with fine simplicity and discretion, eminently justifying the little chosen for the work: "Theodore Roosevelt: Hero to his Valet." The manner in which the author has acquitted himself of his delicate task indicates a combination of intelligence and good taste, not always found in more pretentious productions. His attitude toward his employer is shown by the statement at the outset that not only did Mr. Roosevelt fill that role, "but he was until his death my dear friend to whom I could go always with my most personal and private troubles." In the chapters that follow such intimate subjects are discussed as the eating and drinking of the President, the business of running the White House, the dinner guests, the Brownsville shooting affair, the Taft-Roosevelt split, life at Sagamore Hill, Mr. Roosevelt's indifference to clothes and money, his love for his children, his broad attitude toward religion, his friendly relations, with the newspaper men and the turn of the tide that shadowed the Roosevelt luck after he was shot at Milwaukee. A chapter is headed "About Booker T. Washington," in which the author gives his recollection of the famous White House incident which caused so much newspaper comment. We quote it as follows: Mr. own recollection is that Washington was Mr. Roosevelt's guest at luncheon and not at dinner. And this is in keeping with his custom to which I have already alluded, of inviting guests of a certain type to luncheon rather than dinner, purely out of regard for their own comfort and feelings. I was in attendance at that luncheon. I had my opinion of the matter at the time, but of course I was not called upon to express it. Years later, however, I got the opportunity. It was at Oyster Bay a few years before Mr. Roosevelt died. He was talking to me about some trifling matter when the Booker T. Washington incident was mentioned. Suddenly he asked me: "Now, James, what did you think about it?" "I think it was all a mistake." I said "You do," he said, looking up rather surprised. "And what was the trouble with it?" "Of course," I replied, "I don't mean to say that you made a mistake, Mr. Roosevelt. I criticize Washington for accepting your invitation. He knew the white people of the South and he must have known that the affair would bring you—a true friend of the colored race—into a lot of unfriendly criticism. He had plenty of time to think it over and he could easily have found an excuse not to accept the invitation" "So that's what you think?" he asked. Well, by George, I don't agree with you, he said, and that was all. That the author had the honesty to naively, set forth his effort to criticize such a character as Dr. Washington clearly defines his intellectual limitations. The meaning of Mr. Roosevelt's rejoinder was probably wasted upon him and he evidently had no conception of the social conventions that gave a Presidential invitation the force of a command. Despite a few blemishes of this character, good reason why one President was hero to his valet. MISSISSIPPI FLOOD RELIEF. That was a moving story of the plantation wrought by the Mississippi floods, told by William Oceamy, in the week's issue of The Age. Weeping and burning were the result of destructive lives, lands and property in Arkansas, leaving thousands of people deprived and dependent upon the relief agencies. The normal school at Pine Briar was turned into a camp for the refugee child was soon filled with hundreds of plantation hands and others rescued for the flood. Mothers and their babies were among those brought in by the volunteer workers who manned the rescuers. Reports from sections further down the river showed similar conditions, the representative of Governor Murphey of Mississippi declared at Vicksburg, the eleven days of rescue work, that the who did not visit the zone will show the full tragedy, of the flood in the Mississippi and Yazoo basina." With the governor's forty-foot cabin launch, he for Indianola and Greenville, of forty people were picked up, including blacks and whites alike. Before reaching Delta City, twelve Negroes were taken from an attic, and later seventy-nine Delta City. In this crisis, it is creditable to the better side of human nature that blacks have been reported as coming to the side of white victims of the waters, in some way that whites have succored the worker neighbors. The relief agency is reported to have given aid and assistance to both races alike, without discrimination as to color or condition. Superintendent R. E. Malone of the Ruff Normal School summed up the situation as follows: "This marks a rise in racial relations in Arkansas, with races cooperated in the crisis. We then imperilled their lives at Free Bridge order to rescue the plantation color people." These reports as to the aid extent to the many sufferers from the flood, were discrimination as to race or color should stimulate donations to the white Red Cross relief. The national organization of the Red Cross is the best organized agency for this purpose. It is the advantage of a permanent organ of trained nurses and relief workers who know exactly what methods of relief are required and how to put them in operation with the least delay. The who are desirous of helping to relieve the severity of those who have suffered through the Mississippi floods, should their contribution to the Red Cross once. It is a case where he who quickly gives double. After the emergency relief to care for the present necessities of the flood in the waters, will come the question of government relief to replace their losses of land property through the ravages of the Great river, which cannot rest easy in aid.

The relief agencies are reported to have given aid and assistance to both races alike, without discrimination as to color or condition. Superintendent R. E. Malone of the Pine Bluff Normal School summed up the situation as follows: "This marks a new era in racial relations in Arkansas, for both races cooperated in the crisis.

STIMULATING MIGRATION. One day last week at Little Rock, Kansas, a grand jury indicted a Negro murder. Recognizing the lawless nicles of the community and applauding to prevent a lynching, the grry announcement that it would take against any persons who attempted like the law in their own hands. Answer to this warning came a day later another Negro accused of an attack on two white women, was lynch One day last week at Little Rock, Arkansas, a grand jury indicted a Negro for murder. Recognizing the lawless tendencies of the community and apparently seeking to prevent a lynching, the grand jury announced that it would take action against any persons who attempted to take the law in their own hands. The answer to this warning came a day later, when another Negro accused of an attack on two white women, was lynched by a defiant mob of citizens, who saturated the body with gasoline and burned it at one of the principal corners in the colored section of the city. According to the newspaper accounts, this spectacle was witnessed by thousands of people, to the accompaniment of the firing of guns and the cries of women and children. The Negro population scattered as the mob came dragging the body along, until it formed the center of a huge bonfire. The police, according to report, were outnumbered and powerless to act. They confined their efforts to directing traffic, which was congested for blocks around. The victim of the mob, said to be twenty-two years old, was reported to have confessed to making an attack on a woman and her seventeen year old daughter. As this confession was said to have been made after the mob of several thousand men had captured him in a tree, it is open to conjecture as to whether it was the result of terror or not. However, putting aside the question of the guilt of the accused, it does not appear that there was any doubt that he would have been convicted and executed legally if time had been given for a trial by jury. The killing and burning was purely a manifestation of mob ferocity, deliberately indulged in despite the warn- tempt would be punished by the law. The mob either felt nothing but contempt for the law and the grand jury, or else credited the latter with making a purely perfunctory gesture, intended to preserve the standing of Arkansas in the eyes of the outside world. was the Rev. Alexander Walters, who was later elevated to the bishopric. With the steady match of populatic northwad, old Zion Church moved uptown and finally settled in the beautiful and con But how about the Negro residents of Little Rock, who saw their home section invaded by a ruthless mob, who perpetrated barbarous atrocities on the body of a dead man because he was black; and burned him with the aid of gasoline, at a street corner? Was this episode calculated to reassure them as to the safety of their persons and property in Little Rock, or any other place in Arkansas? Regardless of whether the victim of this atrocity was guilty of a crime or not, his horrible killing demonstrated the cheapness of a Negro's life in Arkansas. The natural reaction among all those who witnessed or heard of this human holocaust would be that Arkansas is splendid territory to leave behind one. SIDELIGHT8 ON SNYDER CASE. The sensational murder trial at Long Island City which has been filling pages of the metropolitan press with the doings of two rather common place individuals, who confessed to the commission of murder, threw a significant sidelight on the popular tendency to associate crime with color. In seeking for a scapegoat upon whom to shift suspicion for the coldblooded killing of a superfluous husband, Mrs. Snyder, according to the testimony of her tool and accomplice, Henry Judd Gray, suggested that they say the "burglary was committed by two colored men." The finding of an Italian newspaper on the train on the way to Queens Village made Gray think of changing the story to "two dark men," leaving the paper behind to support the theory that the killing was committed by Italians. It is not likely, with the blundering efforts made by the conspirators to build up the fiction of burglary and murder, that the hardboiled New York police would have put any more faith in the story of "two colored men" than they did in the effort to shift suspicion on some unknown Italians. This phase of the confession only illustrates the facilitity with which the average Nordic of criminal tendencies will offer up a black scapegoat as a sacrifice to save his own skin. The strongest example of this was presented about two years ago in the case of a watchman on a Long Island estate, who insisted with his dying breath that he had been shot by a Negro. Investigation by the police, however, fastened the crime on the son of a near friend of the murdered man, who later confessed his guilt. The dying man had lied to save his friend's son. In the Snyder case the resort to the same device of a scapegoat of dark complexion was the most ingenious thought conceivable to these two besotted individuals. Detoid of any intellectual aspirations, finding enjoyment only in the consumption of bad booze and sexual indulgence, with the music of cabaret orchestras, as their accompaniment, no refine sentiments could be expected to furlish under such condition. The psychology that could contemplate getting rid of an incompatible helpmate, although a good provider, with as little compunction as killing a rat, would hardly hesitate to involve innocent persons to shield themselves. The police authorities seem to have learned to recognize this phase of criminal dodging and are not so easily fooled by stories of mysterious crimes attributed to unknown and unheard of dark men: The smoke screen is not so easy a scheme to work as it used to be. This is one of the lessons to be drawn from the Snyder case. Time was when the fantastic tale concocted by the two amateur criminals of Queens Village would have had the police running in circles, hauling to jail all the unidentified Negroes and Italians on Long Island in quest of the killers of the motor magazine editor. With the exercise of brains and sound judgment by the heads of the force, such fantasies no longer fool the sleuths of justice. Unfortunately there are black criminals, as well as white ones, but experience has taught the lesson that neither color nor condition is a sure index to the commission of crime. Booze and passion are more apt to figure as factors in such cases as that of Queens Village. ABILITY IN THE CHURCH. A conspicuous case of ability in church management has been shown in the past few years, since the Rev. J. W. Brown has been called tothe charge of New Mother A. M. E. Zion Church. This congregation, which is regarded as the mother church of the denomination, was for many years located at the corner of West Tenth and Blecker streets, in the center of Greenwich village. One of its most noted pastors, this period was the Rev. Alexander Walters, who was later elevated to the bishopric. With the steady march of population northward, old Zion Church moved uptown and finally settled in the beautiful and comodious edifice which it now occupies in Harlem. The career of the congregation during this time of migration and transformation was checkered by various losses and vicissitudes and the advent of Dr. Brown as pastor found the church in a far from prosperous condition. Through his executive ability, applied to the promotion of religious activity, the growth of the church was accelerated along healthy lines and it gradually emerged from the rut into which it had fallen. New life was imparted to all branches of the church organization and the general vel- THE AGE READERS' FORUM Editor of The New York Age Our good white friends, who a few years ago gave lavishly for the support of our schools, for the higher education of our people, now, for many reasons, give only sparingly, and some have withdrawn their support entirely. The result is that many of our schools are hard pressed financially and when we are threatened with the closing of such an institution as Fisk University for lack of funds, we should be awakened to the seriousness of our position and take steps not only to avert the terrible calamity of the closing of Fisk, but also to hand ourselves together to raise a large sum of money yearly to help maintain every one of the schools for higher education irrespective of denomination or location. How can we do this? We have certainly proved our ability to organize and successfully conduct societies and fraternal organizations of all kinds. Our experience along this line I believe to be providential, for it has fitted us to organize what should be regarded by every sensible man and woman, the greatest of all societies.—A NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY, composed of our leading citizens from every denomination and every fraternal society, with a National Educational Board. On that board let us have representatives from the A. M. E. the A. M. E. Z. C. M. E. M. E., Baptists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Adventists, Masons, Old Fellows, Elks, Pythians, S. Lukes, Royal Circle, Mosaics and others.

Special Correspondent The Grasp of British Imperialism recently hardly there Over India. Towards Adey's ex India should owe a deep debt of gratitude to the British Parliament for enforcing upon the Indian half-starved, taxed and emaciated people the burden of a new taxation in the form of a Royal Indian Navy. The word sounds alright. The liberty underlying the word is mysterious, for in the name of India, Great Britain is increasing her own navy. In a recent announcement in the House of Commons, Earl Winston, the under Secretary for the State of India, proclaimed that within six months a training ship for instructing Indian boys wishing to qualify for the mercantile marine will be established, at Karachi, but what is more important to the House of Commons is the amount of money that can be got out of India by the bestowal upon her of the new navy. Very generously the Baldwin government does not propose to revise India's annual contribution of a hundred thousand sterling of the cost of the navy, until the India navy has developed to such proportions as to perform an appreciable portion of services expected from it, to grab more land, exploit the territories in the interest of British capitalists at the expense and cost of the Indian revenues, to satisfy the greed of the Imperial need at the unpleasant prospect of the Indian taxayer. Transfer of Aden India has been very shabbly treated in the whole affair of Aden by Downing Street, as it did not care to consult the Indian opinion when the decision of the transfer of Aden was taken. In a lame apology the finance member of the Bombay Legislative Council gave out that civil administration of the island of Aden would remain under the Government of Bombay, while owing to the frontier feuds there the military administration would be transferred to Great Britain for the safety of the island. This is to show that Indian opinion does not count when Great Britain wants to snatch away the island of Aden, built at the expense of the taxpayers of the Bombay presidency Till last war, India contributed half of its military expenditure to Aden. By the policy of Great Britain the Indian settlement has decreased to 200,000 acres. fare of the community was made a part of its program. As a progressive exponent of religious growth and activity Dr. Brown soon demonstrated his worth to the community. A religious worker of this calibre was soon made to feel that there was a demand for his services outside of the church of which he had charge. He gladly and cheerfully responded to the demands made upon him in behalf of public causes, and established his standing as a reliable and unstanding representative of his people. When the members of his denomination come to the consideration of adding new blood to the board of bishops, they will do well to study the record of achievement made by Dr. Brown in one of the most difficult charges a pastor can be called upon to fill. irations . The state organizations can elect members to the National Board. I believe there are one million members of our race who will cheerfully give, $1.25 yearly for the support of our schools for the higher education of our children. That would mean $1,000,000 yearly for distribution among our schools, and $250,000 yearly for expense. All honor to the Elks, of which order I am proud to be a member, who have established an educational board and are contributing funds for the education of our people. I am confident that they will do their utmost to help establish and maintain a national fund for the same great purpose. Just think, my friends, of the millions of dollars we spend annually for foolish amusement. Is it not high time that we deny ourselves some of these foolish pleasures and give a small pritance for the higher education of people? We have just able man and woman who if they put their shoulders to the wheel, can put this plan over successfully, and I am sure that the editors of all race journals will, open their columns for the discussion and promotion of this great national Educational Society. I am ready with my $125 annual dues, and will join the first local society whenever organized. Organize, and report to the press and let us have thousands of branches with thousands of members rallying to the financial support of our educational institutions. God speed the day when a million of our people will contribute $125 a year for our institutions of learning, that have lifted us to such a high plane of civilization, that in sixty-five years we have astonished and won the admiration of the entire world. W J HARVEY Sr. 602 North 43d St. Phila, Pa recently hardly, there are 3000 left. Towards Aden's expense last year India contributed Rupees 40,000,000. A fresh agreement has been entered into by which India has to pay for the first three years £250,000 (le. Rs 750,000.) and thereafter £150,000. (i.e. Rs 220,000.) or one-third of the total expenditure whichever was less. This is a familiar argument. Aden is liable to India, because the mountains Aden without any control and out of her charitable motive to keep the British barbarous regime alive at the expense of her starling population!!! India And The Army. At a recent discussion in the Legislative Assembly the whole of the elected members strongly protested against the British policy of segregating Indians from the Army units like the Air Force Artillery, the Engineering Corps, the Tank Corps, etc. though India pays more than half of her revenues. The British Army in India is just like that of the French in Ruhir, and a foreign garrison is keeping in its grip a conquered territory at the points of hayfields and much against the will of the governed. The Government is fooling the country, and the quality of fooling is no greater that they put the blame on India's incapacity to govern herself—the internal religious feuds—and the Russia's eye to cause an Empire in India and so on. The callous and extravagant, and also the anti-Indian military expenses and policies of the Government of India calls forth for a sudden revolution in the change of the government. The present system is notorious. The Assembly has thrown out the whole of the volatile grant for the Army, which is distinctly an army of occupation, and set the government has overridden the public sentiment and inimminous voice of the country. This is an other sample of British loot in India. The Police Officers The police officers are always shadowing some persons on the ground that they are dangerous to the public safety. But, how are these persons dangerous? They possess their own views for the political freedom of their country. Every member of the Council, every student of Indian politics, every worker in the labor unions, We spoke sometimes ago how our professional men cease to study and are not giving to the people what they ought to give. Many a poor man pays $2.00 to $25.00 (for professional advice and gets bunk and our professional people ought to be held accountable. One of the reasons is that our professional people are too busy dancing. In nearly every city of the country, the professional people, who make their living from the poor colored people will spend large amounts of money - hiring white people's halls in order to give some sort of "big ball" for their so-called "exclusive set". They try to ape the new and old rich and many of them go into heavy debt to do so. They therefore, are too often bad examples for the boys and girls of the community. Many of them do not think about this, and never think about their obligations to the people they serve except to get a fee. It is not a rare thing, to hear of colored professional men giving $10 or $25 for some ball, but it is a rare thing to hear talk of them giving $10 or $25 to some church or some school—or even a hospital. It is to be observed that the religious editor does not denounce dancing as the deadly sin, but deprecates the excessive intolerance in this diversion. This molestation deserves consideration. The veteran Cleveland Gazelle evidently credits the Ku Klux Klan with exerting undue influence in Western Republicanism. It said: Sheriff Edward J. Hanratty (Democrat) announces that the segregation of prisoners in the jail of this (Cuyahoga) county, that has characterized the administrations of several of his predecessors (Republicans) in that office, has been discontinued under his regime, as he promised during the campaign, last fall. Thanks, Sheriff! This leads us to whether the Kit Klux Klan has not made segregation a Republican party tenet? It certainly seems so when one recalls what the Coolidge administration, and state and local administrations here in the North are doing to us, these days. The action of this Democratic sheriff in Ohio might be commended to the Commissioner of Correction in New York City as more in line with democratic doctrine. The drawing of-color lines in the conduct of penal institutions is the final reduction to an absurdity. The St Louis Police warned the police of that city that the old black face dodge was being used by certain criminals to cover their tracks. It said: The Police Department is hereby warned that the black-faced criminals are at work again in St. Louis and, that the criminal assailants to have been committed at Mabel Loon in Forest Park Monday night, is generally believed to have been committed by white criminals who blacken their faces to hide their crimes. Attention is called to the fact that following a similar attack upon women in Forest Park last fall, a white man who was subsequently arrested confessed that he belonged to a "gang" who "black up" when committing certain crimes. Therefore, we would suggest to the police not to become color blind when someone says it was a Negro who committed a crime. There are many people who understand that it is easy to fasten crime to a Negro who has less chance of defense. There are also those who have color complex which causes them to imagine that it was a Negro when certain crimes are being committed regardless of the facts. It was also suggested that a few Negro officers be assigned to park duty, so that they might pick up suspicious characters mutilating in black face make up. That sounds to practical a plan to have any chance of adoption unless the St Louis police every rising spirit in social and educational activities of the countryside, are all persuaded and followed by the vigilance department of the Government of India. The writer of these notes has his days even numbered. All letters to him though not in the least of a compulsational nature, are credited, including ordinary magazines and newspapers, the registered mail, and even internal letters from friends. It is the duty of the Government to keep watch on criminals and detect crimes and the assistance of the vigilance department is necessary. But to utilize them after the movements of the political workers is a nuisance waiting of time and country's money. Not To Be Released. The political detains who are detained for a number of years without trial and without their in the public knowing the cause of the charge, against them are appointed not to be released, according to the Government they participated in a conspiracy for the commission of a revolutionary crime. If these charges have any foundation therein, why does not the government try them openly in law court, and inflict upon them the most brutal punishment they deserve, if any, rather than treating them bravely in rotten jails in far off forests, and dark dungeons The Oklahoma City Blade newspaper expressed its sympathy to Justice Mason, vice chief justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, who was charged with severely handling and kicking a Tulsa attorney. It said: No one knows better than a black man and a black woman, what Justice Mason is talking about although we are sure he did not in black folk in his perspective when he said in his published statement Wednesday, "I did that which I felt any man has both the right and duty to do." The writer of this article sat for a whole day some time ago in a court room and saw a Negro mother, who had to be characterized as a vile brute by the county attorney's office Because she had the courage to spot a white beast who had attempted to assault her little 14-year old daughter. What must have been the feeling of this mother, not alone as to the court attaches who were present before her, but to the government itself, that prevented such a travesty! Justice Mason may receive small support from white people in his resentment of legal insults common among white attorneys, but he can get much solace just now among the lovely black citizens. This queer episode suggests the need for a reform of legal procedure in the Oklahoma courts. When the bulldozing tactics of attorneys rose a judge to the point of physical retaliation, the abuse of legal decorum must have reached its limit. In recording the death of William Perkins, famous as a trainee of race horses, at Lexington, Ky., the Louisville Leader said: Perkins was regarded by many expert horsemen as one of the most capable trainers of thoroughbreds the world has ever known. During his turf career he had trained many of the greatest thoroughbreds of their time. He attained his greatest honor in 1926 when he saddled eighty-eight winners to lead the trainers of America. Horses in his charge won $275, 133 in pursues and stakes Practically every big race on the Western circuit has been at one time or other won by a Perkins-trained thoroughbred. The only race of importance in which he had never saddled the winner is the Kentucky Derby. It is said, however, that he had one or two real winners to go up against the three year olds of the country in the coming Kentucky Derby. Besides training horses Perkins owned several racers himself. Kentucky was noted as the Blue Grass State, producing fast horses that won many races under Negra trajigors and jockeys. Of the latter Isaac Murphy and Willie Simm were noted for their success on the turf. The St. Luke Herald of Richmond sees a promise of better things in the South as pointed out in the new constitutional convention in Virginia. It said: For several weeks a revision call of the lawmakers of the State has retained the lawmakers in an annual session at the Capitol. They are summoned there by a young gentleman Governor with no other purpose than to make a modern constitution based upon economic and social progress and necessities. This wide awake, bustling, business executive has no axe to grind against colored citizens. Of course all that old manly of proscription against the colored people has been outlawed by the Supreme Court of the United States. But the very fact that they will no desire for subjection, and no weeping at the bar at the pungent of that old regime hates a colorized citizen takes us a long way in advance of other year. Her business and progress are the headlines of the program of the new pilot of the new South. Here education and taxes claim the attention of the lawmakers of New York of the oldtime program against Negroes. Admitting that the old cum car wars will remain under some form, the Herald thinks, will pass away, and will vanish in the past century. where no human been on the company of art.

TUSKEGEE'S FIRST RELAY CARNIVAL A BIG SUCCESS Tuskegee Institute Ala.—Tuskegee's first relay carnival went off with marked success in the Alumni Bowl Saturday, May 7. The interest and enthusiasm displayed on the part of the participants and those charged with the athletic activities of the institutions represented at the meet, are the important factors that have aided the authorities to decide to make the relay games an annual affair in keeping with the expanded and enlarged athletic program. The cream of the track talent in the Southeastern Conference and four other institutions participated in the games. Ideal weather conditions prevailed. Tuskegee's entire student body and faculty, together with a large number of visitors from Columbus, N.J., and Newfoundland, point on hand to witness program that proved to be a thorough and comprehensive demonstration of the athletic possibilities of the youth of the race. The Tuskegee Band, under the direction of Captain Frank L. Drye, which has just returned from a three day tour of nearby cities opened the program promptly at 2:00 o'clock with a group of popular musical selections- At 2:20 the entrants assembled in front of the Principal's box, in which sat many distinguished visitors, and were cordially welcomed to Tuskegee by Dr. Muton. Quartets representing Morehouse College ran to victory in the relay events before the crowd of 3000. The Morehouse College half-mile relay combination composed of Christler, Archer, A. Stewart and Harrison walked away with the beautiful Chicago Tuskegee Club cup leading to the tape; in the order named. After a bitter struggle all the way in the one mile relay, Morehouse nosed out Tuskegee in the last hundred yards. It was the brilliant running of Alba, a former Tuskegee student, that gave Morehouse victory. In the Medley Relay Tuskegee led all the way winning handily. Harrius of Tuskegee and Archer staged as pretty a duel as has been seen in a long time in the first lap. Howard-took up the burden from this point and gave Stevenson a lead, Thomas, the anchor man, won, apparently without extending himself. Moore, of Tuskegee, broke the Colored Intercollegiate record in the javelin throw by hurling the spear 168 feet, six inches. Individual Events. 100-Yard Dash—Won by Col- lins, Ft.

LINCOLN GIANTS WIN 2 OUT OF 3 FROM CUBAN STARS Cubans Win Saturday In Newark; Lincolns Win Both Games Sunday The Lincoln Giants came out victorious in their first three game series with the Cuban Stars, winning two of the three. On Saturday at David's Stadium, Newark, the Cubans defeated the Lincolnians, 10-9, but on Sunday, at the Lincoln's home grounds, the local team won a double header, taking the first contest, 13-0, and the other, 12-7. All three games were free hitting contests. In Saturday's game the Giants overcame a five run lead, only to have victory snatched away in the ninth, when Mason jugged Oms to left field, causing two runs to be scored. Chacon was hurt in this game and was unable to play on Sunday. At the Protectory Oval, Oms, Rector, Johnson and Dihigo made home runs in the two games, with three base hits by Oscar, Seales, Alphonso and Rojo, and a total of 10 two baggers. Reporter was the pitcher for the Lincolns in the first game of the double header, and although he allowed 12 hits, he kept them well scattered. "Rube" Chambers was on the mound, for the first time this season, for the second contest and was quite wild. He walked seven men in six innings and finally retired in favor of Craig. Sans and Oscar were the pitchers for the Cubans in Sunday's games. Montalvo, the big Cuban outfielder, played in all three games with the Lincolns. Manager Lloyd withheld him from the lineup until President Isaac Nutter had gone into the facts in the mazer, and handed down the opinion that the Lincolns were justified in signing him. He made five hits and scored six runs in twelve times at bat during the three games. The box scores for Sunday's games were as follows.

Poor Play Handicaps Negro Group In The Belasco Cup Tourney The Krigwa Players were not the only Negro Little Theatre group that appeared in the tourney for the David Belasco cup last week. On Thursday night, May 5, the Manfield Players presented a one-act play, "Off Coluh" as one of a series of four plays for that evening's entertainment, and "Off Coluh" was the worst play on the bill. The fact was due in a large measure to the poor vehicle that the cast had to work with. The story was by Amy L. Weber and had to do with an incident in a Harlem cabaret. It was so poor constructed the audience it felt was werering just what 'Off Colulh' was, all about. Tom Tielcher, who had the part of the cabaret proprietor, is not an amateur, as is generally known, but the other two members of the cast were "simon pure" amateurs and showed talent worthy of a much better play. Miss Juanita Stewart, as the cabaret dancer with many lovers, brought to her part a perfect physique and a charm in manner and voice that somewhat compensated for the poor material with which she had to work. Leon, Drake, as John Jackson, a tap dancer, was the other-performer and he showed un very well. Fletcher somewhat overplayed his part. The display of razors and dice in the act made the colored spectators wonder if the author was not a white southerner drying to make the cast live up to her notion as to how Negroes act.

WHITE 8th ANNUAL CONCERT AND SAXOPHONE CONTEST OF HARRY & LAURA PRAMPIN MUSIC SCHOOL AT ELK'S AUDITORIUM For the first time since the inaugural night years ago of the annual concert and instrumental contest of Life Harry and Laura Prampin School of Music of 131 West 136th street, friends and admirers of the school, and its founders missed the presence of the genial and talented Laura. During the past year, Mrs. Laura Prampin had passed on to join the celestial orchestra and chogues and so Mr. Prampin had to carry on by himself. A goodly audience, appreciative and friendly, assembled at the Imperial Auditorium, 129th street and Seyventh avenue, on Thursday night; May 5, to hear the usual concert program by students of the school, who assembled in both orchestra and band for ensemble numbers, and with various individuals giving solos. The soloists were, in order of appearance, Clifford Freeman, banjoist; Charles Danz, pianist; who also accompanied several of the instrumental soloists; Mrs. Elise Draper; trombonist; Nellie Harrison, saxophonist; and Leonard Wilson, violinist. While each one displayed something of merit, the violin playing of Wilson was particularly to be noted because of its good quality. His fingering was accurate, and his tone always at pitch. Careful and painstaking devotion to study by Wilson will bring him simple reward on his showin- A feature of the evening was the saxophone contest to the winner of which the school awarded a 14-Karar gold medal. Eight pupils were listed but only five actually contested. They were Hector Hollar, Miss Rachel Staehl, Isaac Williams, Jack Hubert and James Milner. The smoothness of execution and evenness of tone produced by Milner's instrument won for him the award, and Jack Hubert's playing made him a good runner-up. The school orchestra, conducted by Harry Prampin, opened the program with two marches and an overture, and the school band finished it by the lusty performing of two stirring marches, between which was played a splendid corner solo, "The Soldier's Dream," by Harry Prampin; himself, the hand accompanying. The gold, medal award, the judging being done by Leut C. L. Ridgely, bandmaster of the 60th Regiment, N. Y. N. G., Prof. Robert F Douge of the Martin Smith School, and Lucien H. White of The Age, was then made, and the floor, was cleared for dancing, with Harry Prampin's, U-Tell-Em' Orchestra playing most inspiringly. Anple and palatable refreshments were served in the downstairs dining room.

Miss Bosley was in charge of the affair, and it was through her personal effort that Dr. Burleigh caine. In a felicitious little talk she wolecuned the folks and introduced an illuminating explanation of the genesis of the Negro folk song. The opinion advanced in various prejudiced quarters that the Negro folksong was inspired by contacts with the white race, sailors touching at southern ports and native muntainers, was refuted by Dr. Burleigh, who pointed out the Negro muntainer was a spontaneous outbreak of spiritual reaction from his physical and mental experiences. At conclusion, of the talk, a group of ten small boys, under direction of Miss Rosley, sang three songs with Miss Consulelo Pappa, on the piano, and then Dr. Burleigh sane a group of four.

Mrs. Alexander writes "Have just read your review of Mrs. Chatman's recital on Thursday April 28. You mentioned that I made slight departure from a composer's set of works, perhaps you do not know that the postlude for solo form differs from that in cantata. If you desire I can convince you. I am a very conscientious musician and would not dare take liberties with work of such a great master as Coleridge Taylor. The composer only say that the "solo form has been untimely emasculated by the publisher and not by the pianist." Andrew Thos.

HANDY Owing to uncontrollable circumstances, this column has not appeared for a few issues, and this circumstance has apprised us of the fact that we had readers we knew not of, who were in the habit of looking for the column. This conclusion was forced on us by being buttonholed and asked why the absence of the column and soope of the boys have been kind enough to pass flattering remarks concerning the article that appealed to them. Again we offer thanks. for their appreciation. Since Donovan David assumed the leadership of the Douglass theatre, outside sources have tried to give him all the trouble possible by going to Sergeant-at-Arms Minton and telling him of various issues from the Union regulations that he had to answer to the Orchestra. Minton has been to the Douglass on several occasions, interviewed the manager, David the leader, and in fact every individual member of the Orchestra, but has not found any breach with him, one before or another, board. David was summoned to answer a charge for not hiring Wilson a trombone player; on the Douglass job, but it is alleged that at the time Wilson was spoken to concerning the job he was to have done, David was to David, and when at a rehearsal Minton came in and warned David that everyone had to have a card, David got another trombone player. Subsequently, Wilson showed a letter from a Philadelphia local, stating a transfer had been made, a transfer opened in a few days, the other man had rehearsed, and David did not switch. Hence the charge. The management seem well pleased with the orchestra, and also the pjatrons, as requests have come in for the playing of various overatures. David has inaugurated the style of playing a short picture before the feature picture, followed by the audience and the audience has caught on, and if one must judge by aphlysure the audience appreciates the efforts of David and his orchestra. This past Sunday, at 8 p.m., there was a line extending from the box office to the end of the block, a record line we understand. Personnel of orchestra: Donna John and leader; Hampton, clarinet; Guitar; Sistrum, flute and tenor saxophone; Ritter, trumpet; Cassius, trombone and baritone; Drapton, string and brass, Bass, Brunard, tympan and Bells.

Burr, comes to the Douglass Theatre. Comedy should be the funniest comedy of the season, following its advance showings in outlying theatres of Hollywood during its try-out stages, "All Aboard" was halted by film critics and officials as the Yankee Douglass comedian's outstanding picture, gales of laughter from the opening reel to the final fade-out. "All Aboard" is an adaptation of the story by Matt Taylor, who contributed "Stepping Along" to the comedian for his last vehicle. In brief, it depicts Johnny as a gorgeous man who manhole a shoe from a wealthy lover loses his job because of his continual misunderness. Fortune sniles on him, however, and finds another position as a tour conductor with the responsible duties of taking a party of tourists across the Atlantic and into the algerian desert. He is declared to be a bizarre laugh cruiser from start to finish with a number of thrills thrown in for good measure when Johnny resues the girl from an amorous sheik. More thrills come in the sheiks' stronghold when the comedian finds himself face to face with a huge lion. It is the comedian's picture, including its famous parrot, Loretta, a hero of camels, donkeys sheep, goats, and so on.

It was the fourteenth annual May folly and dance of the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club. Before telling about the affair, just a few words regarding the casino. Despite the prefix, Manhattan Casino is one of the oldest dance and concert auditoriums in New York. Other and more up-to-date halls have taken away much of its former popularity as a dance center, yet it still remains the most commodious hall in this part of the city in which large affairs are held. But even though it still continues to enjoy a certain amount of patronage, the neighborhood in which it is located has fallen unto evil days. Years ago, before the entrance into New York of the Volstead law this vicinity was teeming with life. The hot dog vendor, the pigs-treet man, the brightly lighted saloon and the ding, ding, ding of the street cars, as they stop at the corner to let their load of pleasure seeker alight, gave a gala effect of the locality which is no more to be seen nor felt. A dilapidated, building here and there, darkened doors, through which rays of brilliant illumination once issued, a few untidy looking in-churchs, whose existence seems precarious, to say the least, are some of the decadent sights that meet one's observation in the vicinity these days. But notwithstanding the decline of its surroundings the Casino, which doesn't advertise that it is for Negroes only, but which would most probably go out of business very quickly were it not for this patronage, holds on. And as long as it retains the pleasure commerce of colored people, it undoubtedly will continue to do so. Now, regarding the Frolic: The assemblage lacked in numbers it made up in conviviality. The spirit of "let's be happy tonight, for tomorrow we know not what," diffused itself so profusely among the merrymakers that not one of the four hundred present seemed to have escaped its influence. The young, the middle aged—no, there were no old ones present; that it, if a long memory wasn't put into use—wied with each other in doing the fox trot, one step and wait. If the next day portended penalties to some of the not so youthful, from their dance intemperance, they didn't give any intimation of it on the floor. The music, by the John C. Smith's Orchestra, was unusually good. The orchestra employed judgment as well as harmony in the rendition of the dance numbers. It didn't make the numbers too long, nor did it confine itself to the jazzing pieces, which most of these New York orchestras appear to think they must do these days. It was generous with its waits, one of the dances which is still a pleasure to many persons who love to dance. Taken in its entirety, the fourteenth annual frolic of the club of Pullman porters can be recorded as having been a successful event. The officers of the club are: J. Francis Cooper, president; J. W. Gilbert, vice president; W. Bowe, treasurer; G. H. DeForster, financial secretary; G. H. Gardiner, recording secretary; J. L. Perkins chairman house committee; and S. E. Pulliam, chairman of dances. Picked Up Here And There To the Pullman fraternity in New York and adjacent cities: Don't forget the annual memorial-exercises in honor of deceased members of the Pullman 'Porter's Benefit Association which will be held this coming Sunday, afternoon, May 15th, at 2:30 o'clock daylight saving time, at Grice Congregational Church, Sion 19th Avenue, with the Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of Nazarene Congregational Church of Brooklyn, officiating. This is an occasion on which every Negro employee of the Pullman service, who possibly can should make an effort to be present. It doesn't matter, whether or not you are a member of the association, but you can hold a memorial in memory of the association, but in commemoration of those who have gone before. Surely if you have been a Pulman employee for any length of time you must have been friendly with some of those who have gone. And if you are one who has recently entered the Pennsylvania Railroad on Wednesday morning, May 4th, for a visit to Mrs. Abrams parents on Greenwich Avenue, Mrs. Abrams runs to Montreal out of the Grand Central Terminal, expects to return home by May 16th, leaving Mrs. Abrams to extend her stay as long as she desires. The elite of Jersey City, most of whom are the substantiel members of the Pullman fraternity, were conspicuously represented at the annual dansant of the excluice Bachelor-Benedict Club of New Jersey at Bayoine, on Wednesday evening, May 4th.

If anyone, looking for the column the past two weeks, felt disappointment because they failed to find it, the author, wishes to extend his apologies and the promise that there will be no early occasion for future disappointment—at least as to the fact of its physical appearance; mind you, I did not say contents. The fact is, I have been busy, which is the only excuse that comes to mind just now—now that I have outgrown all my fears, that could be possible for me to have been attending their funerals. I have an idea, that the personnel of the New York Post, Office was much, flattered and impressed with the reports, handed to each employee, of the Edward M. Morgan Foundation, describing its first year's work. I am convinced that this highly praiseworthy effort is the first real approach on the part of postal officialdom to get together with employees in a humanely constructive work. And I am equally certain that nothing heretofore done, allegedly for the benefit of postal employees, has called forth such an appreciative spouse. The official department as in position of the Foundation—the Edward M. Morgan Foundation of the New York Post, Office, chartered under the laws of the State of New York for the purposes stated in the following extract from Act of Incorporation: for the purpose of receiving and maintaining a fund or funds and applying the income thereof, and as much principal as may be deemed expert from time to time by the trustees, for hospice care and such other relief and benefit of the employees of the 'New York Post Office and such other persons as the trustees may from time to time designate. The corporation hereby formed shall have authority to establish and maintain beds by endowment and otherwise and to provide for periodic service in specialized care and for the care of convalescents either in New York or elsewhere." To my mind that is a highly worthy purpose clause in the charter of, any philanthropic, organization. But in this case, mere, words have not symbolized the activities of this organization. Just how well it has and does function, is based on many similar ones received by the Foundation from a grateful employees. It follows: "I was additionally struck with acute appendicitis and local peritonitis I applied at 3:30 p.m. I treatment and at 5 o'clock. I was entered as a patient in the hospital. I underwent the operation at six o'clock the same day and was informed on the following morning that if I had waited twelve hours longer my case would have been hopeless. I really owe my life to the prompt arrangements made through the Morgan Foundation. I was combined to the hospital about four weeks and I never wanted for a thing. The prompt and courteous treatment received from the doctors and nurses from compare. The food was excellent and cleanest of the wards and beds needed to be the motto of the institution. It is indeed very fortunate that the employees of the New York Post Office have such an endowment as the Morgan Foundation and I have no doubt that there are many men, like myself, who do not realize the value of such an endowment until they become ill and see personally the good that is done." Such a letter, of course, speaks for itself and I wonder if there is a single employee in the whole New York Post Office who can remain indifferent after reading this letter. Still, the report indicates that such is the case. "... The financial report indicates that all employees have not yet made this worthy sacrifice, while some others have not continued their contributions in accordance with their original pledges. Therefore, at this time, with the record of each compliance burden of this appeal, that every individual employee of the New York Post Office will become an active and permanent contributor to the Edward M. Morgan Foundation of the New York Post Office. All employees should become eligible to receive a card by making this contribution of ten (10) cents each pay day." At the close of the report, the Foundation makes a strong bid for continued support in these words: "In submitting this report and appeal, the Trustees gratefully acknowledge the spendid spirit of cooperation given by all the varied associations of employees of the New York Post Office and solicit their continued interest and support that there shall not be a single one who will fail to respond to this, worthy appeal in behalf of those of our fellow workers, who may be in distress and require assistance." Aside from the sentimental side by Miss Glaucia Bernhardt Roberts, Lumberton. Drama No manuscripts were presented for this prize that the committee found worthy. The same prizes will be offered next year, and an effort will be made to augment them through persons interested in stimulating creative impulses in the youth of the state.

In "Love's Greatest Mistake," which opened Thursday at the Lincoln Theatre, Paramount offers one of the most entertaining screen dramas of the year. Briefly, this picturization of Frederic Arnold Kumner's Liberty, Magazine story of the same name, is the romance of a beautiful girl who comes from a small town in New York, seeking adventures in its gay night-life. She falls in with far more adventure than she bargained for, finds herself nearly involved in maiming plot against a wealthy admin with redems herself with an heroic display of courage in the end attaining a true valuation of life. Josephine Dunn, as Honey McNeil, the girl in the case, is here cast in her first feature role and carries it with remarkable ease for such a newcomer, on the screen, more than vindicating her training in the Paramount School. William Powell, on Don Kendall, the blackmailing gigolotin, furnishes and outlines of his priceless bad man characterizations. Evelyn Brent is perfect as Honey's elder sister, Jane married with his sister for fifteen years, copiousily Edward Sutherland, who demonstrated his directorial ability soearily with "Behind the Front" and "We're in the Navy Now" shows with this picture that he is capable of directing serious drama. HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Teeth and Digestion What is the condition of your teeth? Have they any cavities? Are they clean? Is your mouth in good condition? Is there any dental work which you know should be done? If so, consult a dentist. Moreover, did you ever think that the effet a bad condition of your teeth or mouth may have on your digestion? Perhaps you are sometimes troubled with indigestion. Or you may have headaches which come from digestive disturbances. Has it occurred to you that the condition of your teeth may be the cause of indigestion? It is very important to keep your teeth and your mouth in good condition, not only for appearance's sake, but also for the sake of your entire physical condition. You cannot chew your food properly and have it ready for digestion when it reaches the mouth. Your teeth are not in good condition. A great disturbance of the digestive system may be traced to bad teeth. Then it is important to give your teeth good care because teeth that are not clean, or in poor condition often become infected The infection causes serious sickness and a general lowering of the physical condition Go to a dentist for examination and dental care every six months Clean your teeth every day at morning and night Massage the gums occasionally, and eat some harsh foods, such as toast, which will stimulate the gums Laurinburg, N.
