Three other colored candidates were in the field for this position, but in five ballots neither of them received the necessary votes Colllin Divided Offices. Prior to the election, the district leader, Robert S. Conklin, told the members of the County Committee that the "Heights" section of the district would select the candidate for Assembly and the "Valley" could: name the alderman. The white committeemen readily united on a candidate but it seems that the colored ones were unable to do so. Each faction felt that its candidate was the one that should be named Two years ago the delegates from the "Valley" in a similar conference gave Mrs. E. Hortense Warner, associate woman leader of the district, and the wife of Richard E. Warner, convicted prohibition enforcement agent, a complimentary vote for the nomination to the Board of Aldermen. Since that time she has taken politics seriously and made an active campaign for this honor this summer. She went so far as to build up a women's organization of 150 members to back her political efforts. Through this organization's efforts, and those of Edgar M. Gray, well known publicist and orator, as campaign manager, she secured a majority of the votes from the colored committee, but not enough to elect it was necessary to secure more than half the votes of those attending the conference to secure the nomination. Harris Gets In Race. The Appomattox Club, once the most influential organization in the district, placed Attorney Francis E. Rivers in nomination. Mr. Rivers has been prominently identified with maternal affairs in Harlem and, with Attorney Pope B. Billings recently secured the removal of the injunction against colored Filipino in this state. George W. Harris, former alderman, and a "perpetual candidate" was the other nominee. Although Harris was unable to secure votes from any of the Warner or Rivers factions, he was on hand at the clubhouse early, and succeeded in getting the support of District Leader Conklin and that of Mr. Hawkins, along with a number of the white committeemen. The name of Alton Nelson was placed in nomination by Theodore D. Smith, but Mr. Nelson declined the honor. Local Igstacder was appointed man with John E. Hines as secretary, and when the first doll was had, 92 committeeemen voted with the vote standing. Warner E. Harris M. and Rivere 24. Since was necessary to have 47 votes to get the nomination, a second ballot was taken, with no change in the results. After a third ballot was taken with no change in the results, a conference committee was appointed to bring recommendations. This committee was made up of Mrs. Margaret Seelan, Mr. Weishaum, T. J. Hawkins, Chas W. B Mitchell, Edgar M. Gray, John T. McNeil, Robert S. Conklin, Mrs. Mary B O Neil, Mrs Snowden and Mr. Ansorge. Hawkins As A Compromise. Hawkins As A Compromise. A recess of half an hour was taken and when the committee returned another vote was taken. But before this vote was taken the chairman announced that only those comitteemen in the Aldermaniac District would be permitted to vote—the Assembly District is about four election districts larger than the Aldermaniac District, and this ruling eliminated a number of the white comitteemen. The fourth ballot showed that the convention was still deadlocked and it was then recommended that the conference accept Mr. Hawkins as a compromise candidate. The committee had agreed on Mr. Hawkins with one dissenting vote, that of Charles W B. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell, in making a minority vote, said that he was opposed to Mr. Hawkins because he (Hawkins) had not served the interest of the colored voters. Mr. Hawkins branded this statement as a he and challenged Mitchell to prove it. On the fifth ballot, Harris withdrew and asked his friends to support: Mr. Hawkins This left Warner, Rivers and Hawkins in the race and the results of this ballot showed Mrs Warner still leading with 37 votes: Hawkins had 30 and Rivers 18. Mr. Conklin then made a motion that only the two highest candidates be voted upon, and the motion was carried over the protest of the Rivers supporters. But getting out of the race, Mr. Rivers threw his strength with Mr. Hawkins, and the final count gave Hawkins 41 ballots, and Mrs Warner 35. The factions hurried the hatchers after the balloting was over, and the other candidates indicated that they would support Mr. Hawkins in the primaries. Red Cross Official To Attend Business League Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Dr Robert R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, announces that James L. Freser, vice chairman of the American National Red Cross, would represent Secretary Herbert Hoover and address the annual session of the National Negro Business League on Thursday evening, August 11. BRITISH OFFICIALS IN INDIA CHARGED WITH CENSORING AGE CORRESPONDENT'S MAIL AND NOT DELIVERING HIS PAPER Saratoga Springs, N. Y.—George Foster Peabody, financier and philanthropist, recently celebrated his 75th birthday at his home here, "Yaddo," and the occasion was marked by the visit of fifteen of his friends, who presented him with GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY a handsome silver loving cup bearing the inscription: "TO OUR BELOVED FRIEND, GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY, With Warmest Birthday Greetings." It is a handsome seperlman of the silvermith's art, standing on a base of rare wood. Mr. Peabody's philanthropy has been extended especially towards Negro. He is a native Georgian, and he gave to the colored people of Columbus, Ga., the first modern Y. M. C. A. building erected for colored men. He has been a large contributor to the Brooklyn Y. M. M. C. A., and other welfare agencies among Negroes and has aided many worthy individuals in acquiring educations and training in special lines. He was particularly interested in the development of the young African musician, Ballanta Taylor, who is now in Germany doing special work in music through the aid of Mr. Peabody. Mr. Peabody's offices are in New York City. Advices have been received by The New York Age from its special correspondent in India, whose weekly notes are illuminative of the manner in which England is governing its Indian possessions, that the officials governing India are now exhibiting extreme interest in The Age, and that through special secret agents in the postoffice the paper mailed each week to our correspondent is not delivered to him. He writes: "For last one month I find that the Age does not reach me and on inquiry at the postoffice I find that they have some secret agents who first get hold of the copies, and under certain official and confidential instructions, my mail is not delivered to me. For last six months I am remarking that the wrapper on The Age is always tampered with PROF. J. E. KWEGYIR AGGREY, NATIVE AFRICAN, DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR AND EDUCATOR, DIED SUDDENLY IN HOSPITAL Short and simple funeral services were held Monday afternoon at New Mother Zion A. M. E. Church for the late Prof. J E. Kwegyir Aggrey, vice principal of the Prince of Wales College at Achimota, Gold Coast, and formerly a teacher at Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C., who died early Saturday evening in the Harlem Hospital of pneumococcus meningitis. The services were in charge of the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor, Jr. Anson Phelps Stokes, canon of the National Cathedral, Washington, and president of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, referred to the great loss sustained by Africa, education and the races by Prof Aggrey's death. He spoke in high praise of the deceased's intellectual, moral and spiritual qualities, and said his passing, was as big a calamity to Africa and education as was Booker T. Washington's in America. Chief Amoah III, who is on a visit to New York, in tribal dress, told of Prof. Aggrey's early life, and of his father who was born in tribal circles, having been an interpreter of policies, similar to the position of Prune Minister. Aggrey not only wielded a most helpful influence, in West Africa, but throughout the Continent. Chief Amoah stated. Scripture was read by the Rev Norman Wilson, a native of the Gold Coast, invocation was asked by Prof W. O Carrington, a former co-worker of the deceased at Livingstone College, and benediction, was pronounced by the Rev. James E. Mason. Musical numbers were rendered by the junior choir of the church. Native Africans Present W Tete-Ansa, who is in this country conducting business negotiations for paramount native chiefs; the Rev Mark C Hayford, and other natives on the West Coast, were present Prominent persons to pay their last respects to the departed educator were Dr Thomas Jesse Jones, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund; Prof Herbert Shanton of 40.000 Voters Wanted 1 WANTED, 40,000 more voters to register for the coming election in the 13th, 19, 21st and 22nd Assembly Districts.

The Age correspondent flings down a challenging gauntlet to the British government, through its Indian officials, during them to refute any charge he has made and bring him to book if found guilty of misrepresentation, "rather than their trying to follow the Age like ghosts." Closing, he writes. "Government has no courage to come forward to acknowledge the maltreatment of Indians in India. And they have with them the cowards' weapon of censoring the letter and book posts of private individuals, and by hook or crook drag the name of any person under Section No. 124 A of the Indian Penal Code and charge them for breaking or attempting to break public peace. Its good phraseology for the tyrannal!" PRES. COOLIDGE SAYS HE IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR 1928 Rapid City, S. D.-On the fourth anniversary of his taking the path as President of the United States, following the death of President Harding, Calvin Coolidge electrified the nation by calling the newspaper correspondents to a special conference in the classroom of Rapid City High School which he uses as an office and without comment or any sort, handing them a plain typewritten slip bearing only the words. I DO NOT CHOOSE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN NINETEEN TWENTY-EIGHT." Aked to amplify the terse statement, President Coulidge simply shook his head, then donning an overcoat and accompanied by United States Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, a guest at the summer White House at the time, he left the building and entered his limousine, riding off in the rain, returning to the summer White House. Just what political turmoil has been stirred by the President's brief statement is shown in the fact that no two men seem to have the same opinion as to what is means. The phrase, "I do not choose to run," is taken by many to mean that he is not to be a walling candidate for the nomination, but it leaves room for the conjecture that if the party demands that he make the race he is in position to overcome his personal objection. It is reported that absolutely no one was taken into his confidence, and that the announcement was a complete surprise to everybody around him.

Shot Times By Patron Who Refused To Pay Johnny Brent, 50, proprietor of Johnny Brent's Sea Food and Chop House at 2195 Seventh avenue, is in Harlem Hospital in a serious condition from bullet wounds received at the hands of James H. Robinson, 23, a musician, who lives at 4 West 129th street. The restaurant was a rendezvous for theatrical people and he is well known in theatrical and sport circles. According to William Taylor, from whom Brent leased the building, the shooting was a result of an altercation over a cup of coffee. Robinson entered the restaurant about 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, and ordered a cup of coffee. When the waiter gave him the check he refused to pay. The waiter reported the matter to Brent, who came over and demanded the money. Robinson replied that he had left a banjo with Brent valued at $150 and this would more than pay for his coffee. Brent denied that the banjo had been left with him, whereupon the musician cursed him and charged him with stealing it. This angered Brent, who struck the musician and a tussle followed. Detective Roberts of the West 123rd street Police Station was in the restaurant; at the time and ejected the disturber. The incident was thought to be over when a short time later the banjo played returned and fired three shots Fired Without Warning Brett was stooping to pick up his glasses when Robinson reentered the restaurant and fired upon him without warning.

But the naming of employees in this manner has been confined to "good Democrats" who are white—in no case has the colored brother benefitted. The report shows that just within the last month, there were seven illegal appointments made with an utter ignoring of an affidable list, containing the names of over a hundred citizens who had qualified for the positions, and it is more than significant that these positions were all in the Civil Service Commission itself. In fact, Morton's friends finally suggested to him that a preferable alternative would be to try and get another race man on Banton's staff. Few Sizable Jobs Whether Mr. Morton's failure to secure measurable recognition for the Negro supporters of Tammany is due to failure or is just pure indifference, the fact remains that no Negro has been given a job carrying a sizable salary during these Seven Are Appointed. The repprt shows that these positions were provided by the Board of Estimate on April 21, to give the Commission an adequate force, and funds were provided to pay salaries of $2,400 each per annum. An eligible list of 100 persons was created but of the seven apprentices, only one, a woman Mrs. Mary F. Clark of 105 East 90th street, was taken from the list. And she is an enrolled Democrat. The others, six "good Democrats," were transferred from other departments with substantial increases in salary in each case. Four of these men were from the Department of Public Welfare, the other two were parole officers from the Parole Department. In the naming of these seven Commission investigators, as was the case in the naming of ten "assistants to _Justices_" told of last week, the faithful colored brother was left out in the cold. A Negro Commissioner. And notwithstanding that one of the members of the Municipal Civil Service Commission is Hon Ferdinand Q. Morton, leader of Tammany Negro Democracy of New York City, with his headquarters in Harlem. In this connection inquiry as to Mr Morton's seeming lack of interest in securing recognition for his own race reveals that he is possibly disgusted at not receiving from the present Tammany chief, George W Olvany, the consideration and respect he feels entitled to when it comes to the dolling out of even the scanty plums which have come to the Negro wing of Tammany Hall. It is whispered around, in fact, that when a successor to the late James McClendon, as assistant to District Attorney Banton was named, Dr Morton was practically given a slap in the face by the naming of a man endorsed by Mr Houlihan, the leader of the 21st A, D Democrats, instead of the man named and endorsed by Commissioner Morton, who, according to reports, had been promised the appointment. But this promise was made to Mr Morton by District Attorney Banton while Houlihan took his way direct to 14th street and put in his request to Chief Olvany himself. And Commissioner Morton's attempts to have Houlihan's mart put out and his own choice named blood been futile. In fact, Morton's friends finally suggested to him that a preferable alternative would be to try and get another race man on Banton's staff. Few Sizable Jobs. Whether Mr. Morton's failure to secure measurable recognition for the Negro supporters of Tammany is due to pune or is just pure indifference, the fact remains, that no Negro has been given a job carrying a suitable salary during these recent days and that save for, the position held by Mr. Morton as Civil Service Commissioner; an Assistant District Attorneyship by Counselor Thomas B. Dyett; an Assistant Corporation Counsel placed by Counselor James S. Watson; and an honorary place in connection with the Surrogates' Court, which pays no salary, held by Counselor Cornelius McDougall, there have been no pickings with nutriment for the Negro Tammanyville. It was discovered last April that 2,274 persons, drawing $3,500,000 in solaries, had been appointed illegally, and the Civil Service Commission made the plea that it was shorthanded and unable to hold examinations and prepare lists. It was to meet this plea that the Board of Estimate authorized the seven investigators. But it had been discovered that an examination was held in October, 1926, for the position of investigator in the civil service, that 600 took the examination, with 100 passing. The eigible list was given out on Feb uary 18, showing that the first twelve on the list made-percentage es above eighty. The civil service statutes, Section 10 of Chapter 15 of the laws 100 cover this particular case of the transfers made by Tammany's Civil Service Commission and establishes the illegality of this transaction. What The Law Says: The section provides that no person shall be promoted or transferred to a position for original entrance to which these are required by this chapter or the rules an examination involving essential tests or qualifications different from or higher than required for original entrance to the position held by such person unless he shall have passed the examination or attained a place upon the eligible list, for such higher position. Warning To Parents! Parents are warned to use every effort to keep their boys from riding on the sides and back platform of trolleys cars. Aside from the danger to life and limb, police officers have been given strict orders to make arrests whenever children are caught swinging on street cars. It is an unpleasant duty, but police must obey orders. Parents will save trouble for themselves and keep their children out of danger by heeding this warning.

Fiskhartman of Galilee made a recommendation that the National body meet hereafter biennially only, and that the various state bodies would hold annual sessions within their own confines. This recommendation, submitted as a referendum to the state bodies, as approved. At the last national session there were thirteen states represented, including Cuba, West Indies and South America. The state annual sessions were held this year for the first time, when the New York grand lodge met on August 7 at Bostel Baptist Church, Duffield street, Brooklyn, when Eugene R. Cambler was elected state grand master, and Mrs. Albertus Thomas as grand secretary.

Mr. Turner went from Baltimore to Laurinburg, N.C., to set up a new lodge. During his administration he has added the Cuban and West Indian jurisdictions to the order. The next national gathering will be in Baltimore in August, 1928.

PORO COLLEGE OFFICIALS DENY TRUTH OF STORY PRINTED IN BOSTON PAPER, AFTER BOSTON WOMAN WAS DISMISSED (Telegram to The New York Age) St. Louis, Mo.-A front page story printed July 23 in a Boston race paper, headed, "Storm at Local Poro Headquarters," is characterized here by Poro College officials as misleading and unfair. Reference is made in the article to the recent dismissal of one of the Poro employees in Boston, which was necessitated by reason of the fact that a Surety Co. was unwilling to continue upon the lady's bond, for good and sufficient reasons, following an investigation made by an agent of the Surety Co., who happened to be a white man. The Boston paper intimated that this white employee of the bonding company was connected with the Poro College, thus giving substance to silly whisperings which have been circulating for sometime to the effect that white capital is invested in the Poro business. Of course there is no scintilla of truth in the report. Mrs Malone is sole owner, as was 4th PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS PLANS NEARLY READY New York Women At Work Preparing To Receive Notable Visitors The fourth Pan-African Congress will assemble in New York City August 21 to 24, and the group of women of the city who compose the Circle for Peace and Foreign Relations are rapidly shaping final arrangements for the gathering Previous Congresses have been held in Paris, 1919, London, Brussels and Paris 1921 and London and Lisbon, 1923 Distinguishing foreigners are expected to be present at this session, including M Dames Bellegarde, a Haitian who has been decorated by the French government.

Falls To Death When Bannisters Break Charles Johnson, 35, of 41 West Amity street. Flushing, Long Island, is dead with a broken neck, as a result of falling through the second floor bannister to the first floor while engaged in a fight with Peter Harris, of the same address, which is a rooming house. The men angered at each other for some unexplained cause, were having a hot fist fight when Johnson crashed against the bannister, which broke precipitating him to death. Harris was arrested and lodged in the Flushing station house on a charge of homicide. surely established during the recent unpleasant litigation. In the Poro College all employees who handle funds and who serve in responsible positions are bonded. All branch managers are bonded. The Surety Co., which was on the bond of the lady in question employed an investigating and detective agency to protect its interests. Besides the bonding companies used by Poro College for its employees, the William J. Burns International Detective Agency is also employed. One of the stipulations in the Poro contracts with these protective agencies is that colored agents be used where possible and practical, and this is usually done. The fact in some instances the investigating agent is not colored does not establish in any degree the interest of white capital in Poro College. Mrs. Annie Pope Turbo Malone is now, as she has always been, the sole and individual owner of Poro College and its branch organizations Finance Conference Called By Dr. Moton Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Dr Robert E Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, has issued a call for a conference on finance for Negro business enterprises which will be held in St Louis, in connection with the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League. In commenting upon the proposed conference Dr Moon said recently: "It is our hope in this conference to so coordinate the activities of the various financial and investment corporations among our people that each will help the other and all may render their largest service to the race. A solid front of those financial organizations among our people would give standing and prestige for the race which would in turn open up an influx of new capital for the further expansion and development of our business enterprises." Among the activities of the Business League during the past year, under Dr Moton's leadership, was a conference held in New York City last November where, for the first time on record a group of Negro financiers sat down for a full, frank conference, on Negro finances with Wall street leaders in business. At the St Louis conference Dr Moton will give a report of the New York meeting and will probably announce plans for a second interracial economic conference.

That the Christian churches are losing ground as a vital force in the life of the people seems to be the concensus of opinion among those who have given the subject more than casual consideration. According to a report of a committee made to the interchurch conference held at Philadelphia last week, this recession of religious interest is denoted by the warming fact that the membership of Protestant communions is falling off at the rate of half a million people every year. Dr. H. K. Carroll, the secretary of the committee and well-known as a church statistician, in a letter accompanying the report, pointed out that "increased expenses of church membership weigh, heavily upon many who drop it' because of the feeling that they cannot afford it," and added "the losses from these and other reasons are becoming so great as to challenge the attention of pastors and others, and to shock them out of their indifference." 'The basic causes of these losses are assigned to the lowered moral tone resulting from the World War, the practice of churches in pruning their membership, negligence of clergymen in failing to restore members who stray from the flock and frequent migrations from one community to another. This integration among the various Protestant denominations has not been without some reflex action among the Negro churches. The same causes have contributed to losses of membership as among the whites and the growth of the churches has not progressed on the same scale as formerly. As an evidence of the necessity existing for more intensive efforts in speeding up the work of the churches among Negroes, the Philadelphia Christian Recorder, official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, recently advocated a federation of all Negro churches, so that they may all work on a unified program. It urged that they should use their combined power, without interfering with internal organization, for the purpose of improving the spiritual and moral condition of the Negro and his environment." Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., the acute and progressive editor of the Recorder, outlined the condition of the Negro churches today as follows We have over a dozen denominations with an appreciable number of Negro members. We have 50,000 Negro churches and approximately as many preachers. We have at least five million Negro members in these churches. We have two million Negro children in Sunday Schools. We have the task of their religious education—a phase of education neglected in the public schools, and too often unknown in the homes. Because of our poverty and comparative illiteracy, we have the most difficult battle to wage, as a group, with the forces of vice, superstition, immorality and crime. This battle has been by no means a complete victory even when we consider that we have taken in 5,000,000 of the present generation as members of our churches. For even if every Negro who joins the church were by that fact elevated at once to higher moral and spiritual plane, it still remains as fast as they are twice born. In other words the Negro church membership consists of half or less than half of the Negro population. Still it remains a fact that no force touches Negro life so effectively, in all its relations, as the church, and no man wields the influence upon the race as does the preacher. Dr. Wright's suggestions for a program that would be acceptable to a federation embracing such religious denominations among the race as the various branches of Methodism, the Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Christians, Catholics and others, starts with the formation of a general committee of two hundred and fifty representatives, apportioned on the basis of church membership. From this number is to be selected an executive committee of twenty-five of the "wisest and best men to carry out the program. The subjects suggested as demanding consideration are Evangelization of the seven million unchurched members of the race; promotion of ministerial education, as only about two thousand of the fifty thousand Negro preachers are pronounced as educated, uniform courses for Sunday schools and young people's societies, based on peculiar needs; cooperation in foreign missionary work; improvement of moral conditions in the in the homes; cooperative social work; racial relations in the possibility of adjustment through religious psychology and the coming of a reunited Christian church. Study of these main features proposed for the general council of Federated Negro churches is hoped for by the author of them, among interdenominational organizations and by the bishops and other church leaders. Dr. Wright has outlined a constructive plan to meet the problem of how the church can best adapt itself to the changing demands of a new epoch, which requires new methods to enforce the old teachings of correct living and the service of both God and humanity. It remains to be seen if the churches are equal to task before them. The first thing requisite among the churches in essaying such a task as the one mapped out by the editor of the Christian Recorder is the restoration of public confidence in the character of its leadership. This is not possible so long as a conspicuous layman and general officer of the same denomination as Editor Wright can with impunity prefer specific charges of graft and dishonesty against individual bishops, without securing any investigation or action by the Board of Bishops, save the innocuous slap on the wrist administered at their recent session at Pittsburg. The church must first inaugurate a general house cleaning, if its going to undertake the aggressive campaign proposed by Editor Wright. Let the charges made by Prof. Ira T. Bryant in the Young Allenite first be thoroughly sifted and the offenders punished whether it involves the author of the charges or the bishops he named in his articles. A FACETIOUS BISHOP. Bishop William T. Manning, the dignified and respected head of the Diocese of New York of the Protestant Episcopal Church, has been in England this summer where he has developed an hitherto unvealed talent as a raconteur of olerical acetiae. The Associated Press deemed it of sufficient importance to cable the following story concerning the bishop's hidden talent, under a London headline: Bishop William T. Manning, the dignified and respected head of the Diocese of New York of the Protestant Episcopal Church, has been in England this summer where he has developed an hitherto unrevealed talent as a raconteur of olerical facetiae. The Associated Press deemed it of sufficient importance to cable the following story concerning the bishop's hidden talent, under a London headline. Bishop Manning, of New York, during his recent visit to London, told stories of his experiences which vastly amused his English colleagues, including the Bishop of London and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Bishop Manning said that he once was invited by a Negro preacher to speak at his church. After a lengthy peroration the Negro preacher introduced him to the congregation as a "sounding brass and a tunkling cymbal." Bishop Manning said that he once was invited by a Negro preacher to speak at his church. After a lengthy peroration the Negro preacher introduced him to the congregation as a "sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal." At another time, the Bishop recalled, a woman disagreed with something he had said in the pulpit. She waited for him after church and said to him hotly: "I am a Christian woman, which it is evident you are not." Recalling the Bishop's rhetorical tilts with such recalcitrant rectors as Dr. Norman Guthrie of St. Mark's and the late Dr. Percy Grant, we wonder if the Negro preacher referred to was so far out of the way in his introduction as the Bishop thought.

SENTIMENTAL CRITICISM A few weeks ago The Age had occasion to take exception to the conception of "the real Negro" set forth by Bide Dudley, in his criticism of "Bottomland." musical show which farled to find much favor on Broadway. Mr. Dudley is of the opinion that he was rebuked in this article, although he cannot exactly fathom it, and with an attempt at facetia, he says: "If I am wrong in my deduction, I want to apologize to me for hinting that I have been verbally spanked." Then Mr. Dudley waxes sentimental and springs the "old mammy gag." in extension of his remarks anent what he calls the real Negro. We gladly reproduce his explanatory retort, which is so courteous and so sentimental, that is far removed from the terms of the theatrical criticism which is the subject that Mr. Dudley is supposed to treat in his column on the stage. He said among other things: The Age goes far to hammer home what it considers a point. The columnist said exactly what the paper reports within its quotation marks and still believes it. The real Negro, to me, is the whole souled, human, life-loving colored person whose heart is full of music and whose sense of humor is delicously down to earth. Likewise he is real in everything he says and does. If this sort of a Negro is a savage, I don't know it. And maybe I am almost as well acquainted with the Negro as Mr. Age editor is.

Likewise he is real in everything he says and does. If this sort of a Negro is a savage, I don't know it. And maybe I am almost as well acquainted with the Negro as Mr. Age editor is. My "Mammy" was Maria Grant—or perhaps it might be better to say I was her charge—for my first three years. Until I reached the age of three, I knew no arms but hers. She was black, honest and keenly alive. She gave me a brand of love that cannot be bought for money, marbles or chalk—and she would have given her life for me incidentally. I'm white. Maria Grant has been in her grave twenty years. When I shuffle off, if I ever am permitted to enter the gates of the land with the golden streets, I'm going back into the black arms of Maria Grant and tell her here's one admirer who has never forgotten her. Mr. Dudley's sentiment toward his black mammy is entirely worthy of respect and he is to be commanded for his honest expression of it. But it merely Mr. Dudley's sentiment toward his black mammy is entirely worthy of respect and he is to be commended for his honest expression of it. But it merely indicates that he is judging the Negro of today in the terms of yesterday. Sentimental paternalism of this sort has no place in serious criticism of a stage production. The good white people who glorify the black mammy of yesterday should have a kindlier sentiment for her descendants, who are working out their destiny along different lines as self-supporting men and women, trained to play their part in the evolving of a new civilization. The trouble with most critics like Mr. Dudley is that they visualize the race from one or two specific instances in which they have come into contact with individual members of it, but know but little of the diversity in gifts and attainments that exist among its members, as in any other group of people. Stage, criticism in order to be of any value should be divested of superfluous sentimentalism, based on early recollections born of conditions that no longer exist. NORDIC INVASION OF HARLEM. Not long ago we had occasion to refer to an interesting social experiment proposed to be tried out in South Africa, by the way of trying to "make white men of the Hindus," who constitute on of the darker races finding its way to that continent from India and threatening the future of the whites as traders. The idea was to raise the standard of living for these imported traders, so that they would not be able to undersell and and underlive the whites. Something of the reverse of this effort to make black white is discerned by an observant writer in the American Mercury for August, where Rudolph Fisher tells how "The Caucasian Storms Harlem." After five years absence from the cabarets of Harlem, Mr. Fisher found the change in the clientile of these resorts an astounding revelation. Instead of most of these places being supported by Negroes steadily, night after night, with occasional slumming parties of whites, he found the situation entirely reversed. He found that he went occasionally and white people night after night. As he put it, "these places are no longer mine but theirs." This does not mean that colored patrons are barred, but the complexion of the customers is prevailingly white. Another observer put it "Time was when white observer went to Negro cabarets to see how Negroes acted; now Negroes go to these same cabarets to see how white people act." Discussing the possibility that this transformation of the cabaret attendance is but a season's whim, a fad, born of the prevalent interest in things concerning the Negro, Mr. Fisher goes on to explain the peculiar function of the cabaret. Says he: You don't just go to a cabaret and sit back and wait to be entertained. You get out on the floor and join the now-wow and help entertain yourself. Granted that white people has long enjoyed the Negro entertainment as a diversion, it is not something different, something more, when they bodily throw themselves into Negro entertainment in cabarets? "Now Negroes go to their cabarets to see how white people act." And what do we see? Why, we see them actually playing Negro games. I watched them in that epidemic Negroism, the Charleston I look on and envy them. They camel and fish-tail and turkey, they geeze and black bottom and serchon, they skate and buzzard and mess-around and they do the Negro is an active and participating interest It is almost as if a traveler from the North stood watching an African tribe dance, then suddenly found himself swept wildly into it, caught up in its tidal rhythm Mr. Fisher says that he would willingly be an outsider in this, if he could know that he reads it aright—"that out of this change in the old familiar ways some other thing may come." But he is not sure as to the explanation of this deep interest in things Negro on the part of the white invaders. He asks, "Is it significant of basic human responses, the effect of which, since admitted will extend our beyond cabarets? Maybe these Norics at last have tuned in on our wavelength. Maybe they are at last learning to speak our language." Whatever the answer to this riddle of humanity it would indicate that the experiment of turning black into white may be tried also in the reverse direction, some only can show what the result will prove to be. In the meanwhile, the effect of a Harlem cabaret course on the average Nordic should prove a mollifying and enlightening influence, in softening the asperities of a Puritan conscience added to the chase for the Almighty dollar. Mr. Fisher says that he would willingly be an outsider in this, if he could know that he reads it alright—"that out of this change in the old familiar ways some finer thing may come."

He asks, "Is it significant of basic human responses, the effect of which, once admitted will extend far beyond cabarets? Maybe these Nordics at last have tuned in on our wave length. Maybe they are at last learning to speak our language." Whatever the answer to this riddle of humanity it would indicate that the experiment of turning black into white may be tried also in the reverse direction.

DRYING UP NEW YORK According to Mr. Seymour Lowman who has succeeded General Andrews as assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in large of Prohibition enforcement, the department is making very fair progress New York, except in the matter of According to Mr. Seymour Lowman who has succeeded General Andrews as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, an charge of Prohibition enforcement, the department is making very fair progress in New York, except in the matter of minor violations, which should be handled in the police courts. The Federal dry THE AGE READERS' FORUM agents are said to be bending themselves to the task of drying up. New York, but it is impossible to assign more of them to the district, although it has been stated that it would require some thirty thousand to do the job completely, instead of the three hundred now engaged in that attempt. The policy of the new Prohibition head, as well as that of Dr. James M. Doran, Prohibition Commissioner, apparently will be to stop the illegal distribution of industrial alcohol, which has been so largely diverted to the use of the bootlegging trade. The stoppage of the flow of alcohol for bootleg use and the prevention of the importation of liquors by water or over the Canada border is expected to deprive the bootleggers of the greater part of their stock in trade. The only resource for the maker of booze will then be the hidden stills and the manufacture of home brew. The federal authorities intend to enforce prohibition in New York to the limit, but emphasize the difficulties of their task in pointing to the small force of three hundred agents at their command, in driving up a territory containing some nine million people, most of whom are either hostile or indifferent to enforcement. The fact that New Bomb In The Subway By WM. PICKENS We wonder who put that tube of black powder and dynamite in the East River tunnel between New York and Brooklyn. We are not at all sure that any of the employees who were about to go on strike, put it there. Well, "just suppose" somebody "planted" that bomb to help create feeling against the strikers if the strike had come to pass. "Suppose" somebody wanted to get public sentiment ready to support police brutality against the strikers what better way than to make the innocent public think that the striking employees are so ruthless that they would not only damage the property of the car company but would even take the lives of passengers and other innocent people. Did you notice that the bomb was "found" by one of the loyal employees of the company, and found after the strike had been averted. And did you notice that the infernal thing was not constructed and set so it could really explode, anyhow. The easiest thing about a bomb is to fix it so that it will explode. We can hardly believe that the one who paced this bomb ever meant for it to explode; either it was planted, to hurt the cause of the strikers, or if any prospective striker placed it there, he must have intended only to frighten passengers off the subway lines, for it was certainly set so as not to go off. But it is difficult to conclude that regular union men would even "paint" a bomb, for that is just the way to help their cause to tail. Own up! Who put that bomb there The Ungreased Palm (From Collier's Weekly) One of our best and most permanent evils is tipping Reformers are always conducting a campaign against it. These campaigns get nowhere because they attack the practice from the wrong end. The average man tips waiters barbers, porters and others because he likes to pay his way and knows that in certain kinds of service custom orders a tip and employers reduce wages by the amount of the tips. The Pullman Porters' Brotherhood has gone at the problems from the tipped end. According to their statement, their average wage is $72.50 for four hundred hours of work a month, and their tips average $38 a month. They have gone before the Federal Mediation Board with a program that calls for a fatter pay envelope, shorter hours and no tips. Tipping itself is an offense to the code of American business ethics. It belongs in countries where begging is a recognized life calling, where petty bribery of government employees is a recognized channel of revenue where class distinction are sharp and oppressive, and where cultivated availility is an art but the custom is rooted in the United States, and it will grow and thrive until the great army of the tipped rises in rebellion and creates and demands a ruckit to straight pay." work may indicate enforcement law is referred to as increasing the difficulties of their task, as dealing with minor violations is felt to be up to the local authorities. In other words, it seems as if the Federal authorities are going after the big offenders while the little fellows will be allowed to bootleg until their supplies are cut off. This portends that the habitual drinkers in the town will eventually be driven to depend upon the product of the apartment house stills and the bathtub tanks for the supply of their honor, with the probability that the quality will degenerate from bad to worse. The only alternative as seen by those in charge of enforcement is for Congress to put an army of thirty thousand agents in the New York district, or for the police to take a more active part in the prosecution of the smaller bootleggers. The first proposition is regarded as impractical, because Congress will not appropriate the enormous sum needed to pay such an army. Local sentiment in favor of enforcement does not appear to be strong enough to urge the local authorities to any greater energy in the prosecution of liquor violations. Therefore, the drying up of New York appears to be in the dim future as before. The "Common" Fly Menace Editor of The New York Age Let's not forget that one of summertime's menaces to health is the "common fly." Fly. Momentarily it may not be so annoying as the mosquito—but it may do more lasting harm than a whole swarm of mosquitoes. For health's sake, for cleanliness' sake, swat it! The fly is dirty. It feeds on refuse, and it picks up and carries unnumbered germs. As the season progresses, one fly picks up tens of thousands of bacteria. Keep it away from young babies particularly. But keep it away, too, from adults and from food. Perhaps no one thing is more important in mid-summer than this. The fly hasn't one redeeming trait. Screen it out. Use fly paper. Swat it! HENRY O. HARDING. M. D. Chairman. The Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee. Negro Emancipation In State (From Brooklyn Daily Times.) An anniversary which has gone by unheralded and sunsung is that of the emancipation of the Negro in this State, which was accomplished in 1822, only a generation before freedom had come to the entire colored race on this continent by the proclamation of President Lincoln. Indeed, most Northern people who look back on their own history in its relation to human slavery are somewhat ashamed of the record. When the Declaration of Independence declared every human being free, slavery was life throughout all the colonies. The adoption of the Constitution a dozen years later found practically the same conditions prevailing in the newly-formed States. And oddly enough, the Federalists, John Lay, and those acting with him were the men who successfully piloted Negro emancipation throughout the troubled waters of New York State politics a hundred years ago. There is no record that the followers of Jefferson in this State were any more interested in Negro freedom than their colleagues and congeners in the South, who arose in armed rebellion against an administration that admitted even by implication the possibilities of such freedom. But not only our Negro yellow citizens, but those who with well to the spread of liberty the world over, need to be reminded now that the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for the colored man in this State is only a hundred years old. African Negroes Fought European Invaders "Not a whit more spirited and determined was the North American Indian in keeping out the European invader than was the Negro in protecting his native land" says L. A. Rogers in an interesting article on "Bambaataa—Leader of the Zulu Revolt" in the August number of The Messenger a Negro magazine published in this city. "If the Indian can point The Oakland, Cal., Western American reproduced the following editorial from the Vancouver, B. C.; Evening Sun, which read in part as follows: That unveiling last week of a memorial to Joe Fortes, who for years presided as life guard at English Bay, was not only an honor to a very kind, able and well-loved man, but an honor to all Vancouver. Joe Fortes was a colored man. His skin was as black as any African who was ever put up for sale in the Boston slave market. It is a far cry from the brutalities of slavery to the unveiling of a monument on this continent so few years ago. It is an indication not only that the people of Vancouver are willing to pay honor whose honor is due, irrespective of race, creed or color, but that the cruel and vicious barrier against color is gracully being broken down. The greatest obstacle that colored people in North America have had to get over is the inferiority complex among them, induced by whites, who have perpetuated the doctrine of racial prejudice. What the colored people in America have achieved—and their achievements are of no little magnitude—has been done in the face of despair. Joe Fortes' career, and the public's appreciation of his career, show that the old false standards of aristocracy are fast going by the board. The comment of the American, that "real service is recognized, regardless of the color of the skin," seems to have been justified by this happening in British Columbia. The San Francisco Western Appeal has been investigating some specious real estate propositions, and as a result fulminated as follows. We can see no benefit to be derived by purchasing a membership in a pleasure club and being presented a twenty-five feet lof, with the understanding that when a sufficient number of lots are sold, a seventy-five thousand dollar club house will be presented, 180 miles away at the end of the road that turns off to go nowhere, and that in the face of the fact that land can be bought, in that section of the country for ten dollars per acre. Our people in the past have been too quick to jump at conclusions. They should bear in mind everything that glitters is not gold. A smooth-talking white gentleman came into our midst about fifteen years ago offering for sale $5 % and 1 acre tracts at the modest sum of twelve hundred dollars per acre, near Rosebury, Oregon. The proposition was too good for anybody but colored people. He had all of the love in the world for them, and why not, $1200.00 per acre. The acreage were to be planted, taken care of for five years at which time the trees were to be bearing and yielding an immense income. We advised our readers then to look well before they jumped. We remember saying to them: "When any man white or black, comes in our midst with something too good for anybody but Negroes, it is time for the average man to keep his eye on his pocketbook and his hand on his gun." The editor realized that he would lose a few subscribers and probably a thousand dollars in advertising when he turned on the searchlight but he protected his readers as far as possible. The Nortok Journal and Guide thinks that Americans must possess a very important sense of patriotism and national loyalty to get a thrill out of the war news from Nicaragua. It continued. When the smoke of battle between a contingent of the rebel forces under General Sandino and the American marines aided by the Nicaraguan constabulary and American fighting planes had cleared away, say press reports, 300 Nicaraguan rebels and one American marine lay dead. The sanguinaries encounter took place when General Sandinos forces attempted to enter the town of Octocal, the dispatches aid. The American planes flew low and dropped their death-dealing charges upon the fren. to his King Phillips," continues the writer, his Geronimo, and Sitting Bulls, the Negro can point to his Gerewayos, Lobenguelas, and Mosikatres. As sitting Bull wiped the entire American expedition sent against him, so Cetewayo killed the entire British force sent against him in Isanodhlwana.

"Hordes of vultures already sweep over the hotly contested field," it is added. It is a graphic description of a "great" military achievement by the American forces. It sounds like war. It is war. Yet the Congress of the United States, in whom the sole power to project this nation into war has had nothing to do with it. The news does not sound good. We have medied into the internal affairs of a friendly and sovereign nation and our medding has led to bloodshed of wholesale proportions. The victory of our fighting forces over the Nicaragua rebels may have been a fine achievement for the military, but it is nothing to refect credit upon our country's Latin-American policy. In fact it is rather a discredit, indeed a disgrace. It is the same policy of dollar diplomacy that slaughtered Haitian peasants by hundreds, and reduced Haiti to the status of a dependency, under the military despotism of an American High Commissioner Commenting on the death of Colenel William A. Gatsona leading Massachusetts Democrat of Abolitionist stock, the Boston Chronicle said: Col Gaston was a lawyer, banker and a leader in his political party. Republican as many of us are, we sometimes fail to make a correct appraisal of the worthy citizens who are Democrats. Perhaps a closer study will reveal the sterling worth of the many famous men of this political alignment Mr Gaston's name linked with Democracy gave this party a standing and worthiness further enhanced when we note that our own Mr. Storey is of this persuasion. Much was told us of Mr Gaston during the last political campaign but the act which we suddenly recall was his employing a colored soldier who had been unfairly treated by the War Department. It showed Mr Gaston's finer feeling and as Senator Walsh in a recent article said of the colonel: "He instinctively belonged to and sympathized with the plain people of the country." Differences of politics have caused to influence thinking people unduly in their estimation of the outstanding qualities of men in public life. There are certain Democrats who can always get some Republican votes on their record Referring to the gradual replacements of Negroes in hotel service by white workers, the Pittsburgh Courter said A great deal of the blame for this apparent dissatisfaction with Negro Negro help, we believe, rests on the Negro. The chief complaint made by white hotel owners and other employers against Negro domestics is that they are inefficient, unclean, untidy and often insistent. And one white hotel owner in Atlanta City said recently, "Just as soon as we become conscious that we are losing trade because of the employment of colored help—that very day we change." It is a business proposition with them and quite divorced from sentiment. Guests want to be served by clean efficient, polite and tactful help and failure to get such service causes them to go to some other hostelry. Well what is the answer It lies we believe, in the greater development of habits of cleanliness efficiency and courtesy on the part of Negro employees in hotels and homes People appreciate good service. That will laud it and pay for it. To be extent that Negro employees are able to give better service in every way to that extent will then find the field of employment widening instead of narrowing. That is a pretty severe imponent of the class of workers concerned, but the sensible thing for them to do is to maintain the higher standard of service which the worker indicated as required. That efficient service can be given by colored hotel workers goes without a warning if they put their minds to it. Discussing the collapse of a Negro Democratic weekly in Indiana, the Baltimore Afro-American said. Last week the country was plagued by evidence that during the Indiana political campaign D. H. Jackson, white, paid W. H. Jackson owner of the Indianapolis Ledger's sums of $320, $600, $200 and $200 for publicity. The "Ledger" was founded in 1912 by the late John D. Howard from Taggert, state democratic boss, to have advanced the first S. S. its support. Howard made one of the toughest national wrestles it circulated in 2R states. Nor did his widow sold the item to Mr. Jackson. Following the "Ledger's" memorial advocacy of the Browns, Han candidates in the last campaign lost popular support and died quickly. More newspapers die of political indigestion than any other cause cause bad management. Mr Jackson has not been heard on his own behalf yet. He is credited as saying that he can vindicate him self. We doubt it. For the public which supported his reelection he already spoken and from the dirt there is no appeal. Indianapolis seems to be credited to the district in wearing worn by Washington D.C. he is a gravel and toiletten piece. From the dirt there was a tar better paper than the Ladder had to give on the floor. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock service Sunday Pastor Bolden preached from the text "For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drunkenness shall clothe a man with a tiger. I herверь 23.21. Theme. "A temperate Lite." Pastor Bolden said. This passage in the Book of Proverbs is used this meaning with a view of arousing interest in the group of believers in our Lord the Emmanuel to the truth or this text as it applies to temperate people, liquor drinkers and booteggers in our community, State and Nation. Among us today the general revolt against the Volkred Prohibition Act would have law breakers to look upon this statue as an unpunished and unworthy act, and to take away their personal liberty. Hence they are justified in overriding it, ignoring it and disobeying the prohibition amend- The growing spirit in our country against Constitutional Amendments is not new. And the revolt against justice and righteousness here has grown hoary with age. For the bill of human rights, as well as the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, never have been enforced by the dominating group in this nation, nor either of the party amendments that have come into power. And because the people of Africa descent in this while they enjoy the blessings of Almighty God's Providence, through the loss of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel, in many ways yet, are made to appear as political paupers, social outcasts, race group religious mimes, and industrial and economical hand-me-down receives. A large group of these people living in the community of Harlem, who through their African ancestry, have been victims for centuries of exploitation, of oppression, of slavery, and later of mob-rule, lynch law and segregation; in this modern day where their 'sandcasters' ought to use their common sense and permit their minds to become awakened and unfolded to worldly wisdom at least, if they will not be deserted and good moral character, see the truth of the text as it applies to intemperate people and liquor drinkers: "For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags." When the church people and law abiding citizens seek to build up respect and appreciation for prohibition, preach, teach and urge law enforcement, they are criticized by carnal-minded and unrighteous people and groups. When they are slow and cautious upon the death of the intelligent, unwilling are wrong, afraid of the nonapproval of their supporters and carnal-minded friends in the community. When the community has grown in boot-legging practices, gambling, prostitution, and a general wave of, degeneracy is sweeping over it, then it is the cry goes up from many, that the church is the devil. "Why don't the preachers, who are leaders of the people stop the crime and wickedness?" First, the people of this community have just as good a community as the people of the community want. This applies in like manner to the state and nation. Second, the lite expression in the community is the result of the spirit of the community. This applies in like manner to the state and the Nation. Third, the community is what it is because the people of the community will so it to be. As regards the hop-joints and boot-gearing saloons and dives, which are on the increase, getting ready to fish and poison the people coming to the increase, you ought to be suppressed and closed. And those that are open, should be trained by the foolish money-spending minor drinking patrons, to have them employ colored dispensers of their poisonous drugs. So that that money would at least return in circulation among the families of the spenders, so that the white boot-gegers who live with their families in outside the community will receive them the money they earn from the community the text for the drummain and the glutton will come to poverty, and drawons will clothe a man with rags. D.M. Sunday school was opened by the assistant superintendent, Miss Maggie Johnson. A review of the lesson was given by the pastor the evening, the Rev Joseph Hollen preached an inspiring and helpful sermon to the many assemblies. The dinner was served during the dinner to the members of the Bible Class. On Wednesday night, August 1, Ellen B. Lecture Bible Class every Monday evening. Ellen B. Evening prayer and Refuge Church of Christ Yesterday morning, Lider Lawson spoke from Song of Solomon R. S. and a real upon thine heart, was a person whose arm to love is quits a death the coals thereof are. As if it were which hath a most vehement flame. For Lader, he perished the ration of television and practical wisdom at Telemon in this subject of love, he was that the best expression of it. No one else especially for the word love has been recognized in some way. He was a most sure shan words. I feel the world, that He is, he gotten son, that who with in Him should not be everlasting life. I like Lawson said, did the speech the love he used to His church and Him Christ gave His love to him. His Church had no power to care. He so he. He gave and sacrificed unpering that He might prove His love." Love has a most vile flame." The highest expression of real love is sacrifice and service. Love visualized. The spirit of these two virtues will hilt the bossom to every one who names the name of the Lord of professes to be of His Church. Taking the matter from a natural viewpoint, anyone who loves, desires that their love be reciprocated, and so, they are willing to sacrifice and give one to the other freely. One can cannot freely real love it that a most vile precept. Pastor Lawson pictured the spiritual meaning and effect of the flame and strength of real Love, as well as the natural. He emphasized the great gospel precept, that is, to love one another. This is the law of Christ's kingdom, the lesson of His school, the uniform of His family. By doing this, we may my disciples, if we have love one to another." - St. John 13:20 The evening service was well attended. Elder Chance gave a short exhortation from Hebrews 11.1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things hoped for, by a praised service and thanksgiving unto the Lord for the eight years of His blessings and favor and for the pastor, a man of God with the gospel according to the truth of the Bible. We thank God for the success of our work, and for the sisters of the city failed to come, there was a hearty response and the spirit attained was pleasing.

If we apply this lesson, we will find that Jesus has a wide human sympathetic heart, and He teaches out for whoever will accept His kindness.

Church Rev Richard A. Bolden, assistant pastor, who is in charge while the pastor is on his vacation preached at both services during the day. At the H 10 lock service, his text was taken from Job 7.6, "My days are swifter than the weavers shuttle." His subject was "The web of life" From this he developed many beautiful and helpful thoughts. Mrs Charlotte Wallace Murray, wife of Dr. P. M Murray, sang a contralto solo, which delighted the congregation. Rev Bolden preached from Job 11.17 At both services there were several visitors among whom was Dr. Strachan pastor Seventh Day Adventist church Dr. O B Quick pastor 4th M E Church, Boston, and Dr. H R Walker and son Dr. Walker is pastor of Simpson M E Church in Jacksonville, Fl.

Zion Church This church had fine and impressive services throughout the day last Sunday, and at the close of the day many expressed themselves as having had a glorious religious Sabbath. In front of the pastor Rev W. B. Brown delivered the reason. The church was blessed with the presence of Bishop W. L. Lee and impressed by the remarks inside by hins and Dr. L. M. Jacobs, who gave courage to the anxious friends who are deeply concerned about Bishop Lee's physical condition. A mutual feeling of pleasure, due largely to the constant attention of the other relationship of Bishop Lee was expressed by an appreciative act of the congregation. The Sunday school was well attended and the lesson full of inspiration. A number of visitors were welcomed to the school. 8 p.m. a sacred concert under the direction of I. P. Pane was presented to the silent staff which afforded pleasure to the listening congregation. The annual Baby Contest on Monday evening was a success. There was a large number in attendance and the alert response on the patrons surpassed that of any former year Baby. McKennethill bought the prize $10.

Lack and on Miss Marion Jones were represented members from the local attendance at the National Lunar Convention at Baltimore Mid last week. Mr. Lack is a national corresponding secretary of the convention. The Annual Sunday school out to Cotton Park will be Thursday, August 11. Concord Baptist Church It seems to be the literal thing to expect rain on under here before late, which naturally has come on recently. This in most cases has not interfered with the program of Concid, but on last Sunday, you could see the effects of the rain which came past about time for people to leave for church.

The text was Exodus 4:5-4.5 Describe the inclemency and torrid weather every seat in the main auditorium was filled when he delivered the sermon. He discussed God's admonition to Moses, and stated that the church of today like Moses must understand that God wants us to treat certain Moses as a person to remove his shoes this indicated we must be cleansed before we approach God. We must learn that without con- cerning the ethical qualities of God, we must consider the holiness and morality of Him In developing other points. Dr. Elys stresses the fact that in our day and generation we do not approach God with that spirit of worship, as approach Him with a degree of familiarity. When we ap- proach Him we must that our ap- proach appear equally in our pro- cedure and our proper condition. We should not merely sit in a be- caming manner in His subject. We must approach Him in the proper state of mind and give Him the right attention. I have pointed the church the person killed the pupit at the evening near. He delivered the sixth of his service "With the Arts of the Spouse." The text was Acts 7, 8. He youthly portrayed the matri- tion of Stephen, and emphasized the dignity of Jesus all times remember- ing that we cannot please all the people at the time. We should have an open mind on all matters religious. We should seek the approval of men and get the apology of all. Don't be among those who constantly find fault without any constructive criticism.

The chapter is wonderful in thought, amazing to the disciples at that time, thought so trite today because it was unlawful for a Jew to keep company with one of another race, making him a灭祭 Pentecoster of some Mystery. He is prepared for the bigger thing, to go to the home of Cornelius, the Roman Centurion, God loved people outside of the Jew. He is no responder of persons. All the world is God's sake. He takes a presence there. There is a presence in our life which guides our lives. Christianity teaches, creates intelligence. New truths come to every soul and make us grow in grace.

SARI PRICE PATTON BRADHURST 0678 110 WEST 156th STREET Druce Flowers Wins Easy Victory Over Jack Bernstein Druce Flowers Wins Easy Victory Over Jack Bernstein Bruce Flowers of New Rochelle is the busiest colored fighter in the country today. A few weeks ago at the Queensboro Stadium in Long Island City, Flowers won a close deflation over Jack Bernstein, once junior lightweight champion. On Tuesday night at the same place, before the largest crowd of the season, they fought a return bout and this time Flowers won by a wide margin. The bout was ten rounds. When the fight started Bernstein seemed to be centering all his attacks on Bruce's stomach. In the early part of the second round Flowers complained to Referee Lq Magnolia that Bernstein had hit low but when Magnolia ignored it, Flowers cut loose like a mad man. Flowers fought for the head in his waiting, countering way and always managed to outstab Jack with left leads. They fought at a fast clip in the fourth, Jack changing his style from the middle to a left hook to the head. He made Bruce step lively in this round but from then on the colored fighter had things his own way. Bernstein had a rough journey in the sixth Flowers was at his best in this round and flayed Jack with both hands to the head and body until Bernstein was dizzy. The seventh was unother bad session for Bernstein. He couldn't faster speed or punch with Flowers and he ended the round badly outpointed. In the eighth the white fighter attempted a rally, which so tired him he was almost knocked out in the ninth. He got one of the worst beatings of his whole career in this round but managed to hold on and last the contest out. Although some fight experts think that Flower's manager is making him fight too often, he showed by his last fight with Bernstein, he is still one of the best lightweights in the country and is a logical contender for that title. Harrisburg Giants Win Two Games From Hilldale Team Philadelphia. Pa.—Errors on the part of Hilldale unified and wildness by Phil Cockrell enabled the Harrisburg Giants to gain a 6.3 victory over Hilldale at the latter team's home ground. Thursday, July 28.

Saturday, July 30. Harrisburg again beat Hilldale this time by a score of 4-2. Red Ryan held the visitors to a single hit for seven innings.

Last year the Southerners stormed and raged on Franklin Field, defeating Lincoln, 20 to 16, before 15,000 persons in what sport writers called "the most bitterly conested game of the year." Tuskegee has been weakened by the loss of several star performers, among them Owen J Duncan all-southern end, Ashton Cutchen, en captain, an all-southern tackle, Earl Ellis, Tuskegee's great guard, Mostly Jackson, end, Benjamin M Jordan, tackle, and several lesser lights. ```markdown ``` Lincoln, under her new coach Dr Edward-Morrison the famuos Tuft star and former Howard mentor, and with the loss of few veterans from the 1920 squad, going to be more formidable than last year Tuskegee Alumni in the East, and along the southern Atlantic seaboard, many of whom, for the first time since leaving the "Pride of the Swift Growing South," saw the Tigers in action last fall in Philadelphia, are looking forward to this second Tuskegee-Lincoln game with considerable interest Chicago New York and Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland alumni are malang plans to attend the game in large numbers and are behind a movement to take Tuskegee's fifty-piece band to the contest "Iuskegue fans are already making arrangements to charter a special train for the trip North as was done last year Eastern League Standing W.

State Normal 9 Wins Southeastern Intercollegiate Title Ala. State Normal 9 Wins Southeastern Intercollegiate Title Montgomery, Ala.—The preparations for the 1927-28 athletic campaign at the Alabama State Normal School were given a decided boost this week by the official announcements that the baseball team has been declared official 1922 champions in the Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association and that the 1928-27 coaching staff would be returned intact. The official percentage for the 1927 baseball season just released to the member institutions of the Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association by D. S. Darnaby executive secretary, indicate Alabama State Normal as the leader with a percentage of 70% for their six victories, one tie game and two defeats in their nine conference games. Tuskegee with 590 Morehouse with 599, and Morris Brown with 532 represent the other teams which won more than half of their conference contests. The baseball letter men of 1922 who have brought this glory to Alabama State Normal under the guidance of Coaches Lockhart and Dunn, are William Anderson (Capt.) Ivory Johnson Brecher Routt Wheeler Hardy Atkins Collins Joseph Stone, George Burns William Cooley Oran Frazier William Kelley Major Brown and Samuel Borders Athletics at Alabama State have been developing rapidly during the past six years since Prof H Council Trenholm, who was faculty manager until his elevation to the presidency two years ago, and Coach Ralph Harris a former Morehouse and Army star took over the reign of affairs. Very creditable football teams that have been a menace to all opponents and the toughest foes of the championship Tuskegee aggregation for the past three seasons in the feature Southeastern Classic at Cramtown Bowl have been developed Basketball for both boys and girls have been initiated with glowing success while baseball has been boosted With the resignation of Coach Harris in May, 1920 because of ill health, a quartet of coaches were assembled by President Trendholm to forward the athletic program. All of these men are recent athletes from representative institutions and because of their versatility as three-letter and four-letter stars constitute an all-year staff. Bertrand C.

He was offered a job by Cum Posey, manager of the Grays and immediately accepted it.

In the meantime, the League trade has been called off because of Winters refusal to go to Harrisburg and Charleston is still with the Capital City team Baseball Game Played By Electric Lights A baseball diamond as successfully lighted as a stage is the most recent application of electricity to sport, according to reports from Lynn Mass, which boasts the first illuminated baseball park. Professional players who have examined the lighting foresee night games between league teams in the near future. An experimental game recently played at night between the Lynn and Salem teams, was attended by eight thousand spectators. Evidence of the efficiency of the lighting system appears in the box score of the game during which only two errors were made. Questionnaires answered by spectators and players indicate that the game was played and seen with entire satisfaction. "Rich Men's Sons" At The Roosevelt Theatre "Rich Men's Sons," the Columbia drama which opens Saturday at the Roosevelt Theater easily takes rank as good entertainment, providing a does an abundance of laughs and thrills in a swiftly moving story of youthful romance and daring. The plot is pleasingly simple and is presented in a convincing manner under the competent direction of Ralph Graves; who in this production makes his commendable debut as a megaphone welder, and is a featured player as well. A railroad president's waster son find shimmi disowned by his father and arrested for the theft of a society girl's valuable vanity case—which he did not take—all in the same day. He is brought before the girl, who is in charge of her fathers' steel mill, and for punishment is put to work as an office how to earn the money value of the lost vanity. Financial as well as labor troubles confront the girl, and she is in danger of losing the mill. The only help lies in a contract with the railroad president, which he will not sign. When things look blackest, the boy wakes up. He who gets the necessary signature, and saves the day for the mill and the girl for himself, makes a good measure of genuinely dramatic situations. An exciting race between the boy's high powered speed car and the father's lightning express train provides a particularly thrilling butPetite Shirley Mason handles the role of the young society girl who awakens the boy's real self, with engaging sincerity while Ralph Graves makes the most of his opportunities as the boy.

There is also a scenic effect which would do credit to Broadway The opening scene is laid on a Mississippi levee, where romance starts between a stage-struck country girl and her youthful admirer. The story follows her adventures in the Mississippi valley and in New York. The cast includes the following. Clarence E. Muse, S T, Whitney R. M. Cooper, George Backer, L. Randall, J Mobley, Onion Jeffries, Walter Crumbley, Mable C. Ridley, Ike Paul, Alice Gorgas, Geraldine Gooding, Olive Burgyome, John Henderson, Cecil Graham, Gordon Wilson, and Hope Black The well-known and extremely popular Three Brownies are also in the cast The music was provided by an orchestra under the leadership of Russell Smith The feature photoplay for the first part of the week is "Outlaws of Red River" starring Tom Mix.

"And when there is any question of want or distress in her family—she will go, to any length, to take herself any labor to give her loved ones a chance. "Look at the mother in "Poor Girls." She is a modern mother, youthful in appearance and attractive. When financial reverses come she assumes the whole task of keeping her daughter in a secure social position. She becomes a night club hostess, a position she thenoughly despises. It is a real sacrifice. It is too, a sacrifice to be away from her daughter, for she will not have the girl known of dual life.

Numerous suggestions have been made looking to the improvement of the Negro musician's status as an earning agent but none so far submitted seem to have met approval from the musicians themselves. One suggestion which appears to possess merit is that there should be a unifying of activities. That is, that, instead of a number of organizations operating individually there should be one central body to act is a clearing house for the minor groups, all being affiliated therewith. Such an agency, it is suggested, would be able to bring about a concentration of activities and a consequent reduction of overhead, and make it possible for the men to become part and parcel of a permanent and economical functioning body. There are several outstanding organizations of musicians in New York City, the largest and best known being the Clet Club and the New Amsterdam Music Association. Then there are many groups of players and singers, led by individuals, and usually identified by the leader's name. But most of these have frequent changes in personnel, as dissatisfaction over some particular development is of frequent occurrence and invariably leads to the withdrawal of the disaffected one. But it is believed that if these various separate units were to combine their interests, putting their affairs under one common management, there would come not only more effective work but more profitable results as well. One of the pronounced objections to such a move is that some personalities which are supposed now to have large commercial value would be submerged and individual and club identities lost. It is to be admitted that this might happen. But it is a selfish objection, and should be put one side since the resulting benefits of cooperation would extend far beyond any individual claim to preferment. As a matter of fact, those who have given the subject consideration say that the individual leader and the club organization would be able to retain their identity and that whatever prestige there is attached to their present ratings in the musical world would remain their. The advantages of cooperative effort would be a reduction of overseed by centralizing the office work now scattered through several outlets, an easier contact of the would be patron with the required performer; the elimination of duplicated effort in competing for transient or permanent jobs; and the standardizing of the grade of musical performance. The Age invites an expression of opinion on this question from all who are interested—especially those who are members of the Chel Club and the New Amsterdam Musical Association, and the leaders of the smaller groups. Brief comments will be given space in the belief that discussion of this matter of cooperation among the musicians will be of permanent benefit.

Miss TURNER By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Several times we have decried the lack of business management of musicians in this column, and assumed several more times we will record the loose haphazard methods employed by musicians in striving after their bread and butter. Joe Wynne, drummer, it is allaged, claimed he had a contract for a steady job to open in Minneapolis. Minn., during the first week in July, Wynne selected eight other musicians; they rehearsed, and Joe got a bright idea. Why not work his way to Minneapolis and clean up going along? Joe hired an advance agent, a white man named Max Cahan, according to my informant's belief. Out started Mr. Advance Agent to bill Philly for the wonderful New York orchestra that would entertain them in a dance hall for a few nights. The dance comes off, the orchestra plays fine, but the crowds expected do not appear. Thus it goes from town to town until Baltimore is reached, two weeks after the start. Meanwhile the orchestra had been clamoring for money. Joe assuring them they would clean up at the next stop. Joe had guaranteed each man a flat sum he would pay each week from this "wild cutting," but not one of them had been able to draw anything from him during the two weeks. In fact, some of them had lent Joe money to buy gas from time to time, as Joe was using his auto to take some of the men from town to town, and sending the others forward by train. It is further claimed that Joe would sell the orchestra's lodging bills, but that to eat each man was dependent upon himself. But Baltimore was Joe's Waterloo. Some of the inquisitive men wanted to see the contract for the Minneapolis job. Joe said it was alright, he knew he owned them two weeks' salary, he would pay, etc. etc. "No," was the cry, "Show us the contract." Joe had no contract, so he could not show it. Now all of the hardships the men suffered could have been avoided if some one in New York before the start had insisted on seeing the contract; but each fellow thought he would not be the one to ask about it, he did not want to be a "bad fellow", there was Sam and Harry going, it must be O. K Joe rode, his car back to New York. The other men remained in Baltimore and played some engagements, but the ununion price there, they claim, is ludicrous compared to Local 802, which they wired for money and are now safe in New York, looking for Joe. The orchestra played well, we understand, and comprised Joe Wynne, leader and drummer; R. Hernandez and R. Düper, saxophones, Phillips, banjo; H. Scott and C. Saunders, trumpets; E. Green, trombone, J. Gibson, piano; L. Rilus, bass Howard, the violinist, who, is was claimed, was imported by Deacon Johnson, and who was at first debarred, from joining the Ford Dabney Orchestra now playing the Miller & Lyle's show, has been permitted to take his seat with the orchestra, which, we assume, aunches any impending charge against Deacon Johnson Thompson, oboist of the Ford Dabney Orchestra, has been released after two weeks' work. Thompson protested against receiving only one week's notice but it apparently availed him not Mr. Felix Welr, violinist and leader of the Renaissance Orchestra, was unfortunate last week in running down a boy on 7th avenue. The boy was taken to Harlem Hospital, and reportal are that he is recovering, although it was first reported that he was fatally injured. Sorry, Felix, you were placed to so much expense and inconvenience, and we hope the boy recovers JOHNNY BRENT WOUNDED. Brent was able to walk to a friend's car, who drove him to Harlem Hospital. Dr. U. Conrad Vincent and another staff physician placed him on the operating table immediately and set to work extracting the bullets. They found that he was having internal hemorrhages and little hope is held out for his recovery. In the meantime, Robinson managed to elude Patrolman Guess, patrolling a few blocks away and who came running when he heard the shots. The musician made good his escape, but later decided to surrender and about 7 o'clock Tuesday evening surrendered to detectives at the West 123rd Street Police Station. He was taken immediately to the hospital where Brent identified him. The player is being held without ball to await, the outcome of Brent's seizure.

It will pay you to investigate E TODAY Lending School 75 CENTS A BOX THE LURE OF THE RAILS: A Case In Which The Call Of The Road Would Not Be Denied. The story is told by Porter John Brown, who vouches for its authenticity. The man's name was Tyler. He was a Canadian by birth, and was a graduate of one of the leading colleges in Canada. He came to the states to broaden his educational training, and also to determine which of the two countries, Canada or the United States offered the better field or a professional career. It didn't take him long to decide, for he quickly became a resident here; and took up the study of dentistry. During the vacation months, he worked as a Pullman porter. After finishing the dental course, he continued in the Pullman service with the object of getting money enough to open an office. When his objective was attained, the next problem that presented itself was to in which of the many cities, which offered possibilities for the new dentist, would he settle. Apparently, the place of settlement was the only thing that was holding him on the road. So, when he came to Brown, who had run to Cleveland for many years, and had noted its rapid growth, and asked his advice as to locating there, the retainer complimented him on his foretalk, and said it would be a fertile field for a young dentist. "And, I'll tell you what I will do, Tyler, I will speak to Mayor Johnson (it was the late Joe Johnson of street railway fame, who was a power in Cleveland then) tonight about it; he is a passenger on my now," added Brown. True to his promise, the veteran spoke to the mayor about one of the boys who contemplated settling in his city, and would he (Mr. Johnson) kindly use his influence in seeing that no undue obstacle was set in his way. The mayor assured Brown that as long as the young man was a friend of his that he would gladly help him in any way he would, which he did. Tyler passed the Ohio Board of Licensed Dentists with flying colors, opened his office, and began the building up of a lucrative dental practice in the Lake City. In the meantime, Brown had changed his run to another city, and what happened to Tyler in the intern may best be told in Brown's own words: "It was about five years after. I was coming down the station platform in Buffalo when I noticed a two-striped porter whose face seemed somewhat familiar. As I drew nearer to the Pullman at which he was receiving, I recognized the porter as my old Friend Tyler, 'My God, Tyler,' said I, 'what are you doing here? You don't mean to tell me that you are railroading again?' "Yes, Mr. Brown," said he, "I just couldn't withstand the lure of the rails. You have read Jack London's 'Call of the Wild,' haven't you? Well, it was the call of the rails with me. I would be in my office trying to treat or boll the tooth of a patient when the whistle and rumble of some fast train rolling into the Cleveland station would make me forget all about what I was doing. And every time I saw a Pullman car, I just felt that I would never be contented again unless I came back on the road." "But, weren't you successful in your practice," I asked him? "Oh, yes, had more work than I could do' said he, 'but I simply couldn't become satisfied.'" When questioned as to what he thought of the case, the veteran replied: "I guess he 'hold the truth, it was the lure of the rails. There are a number of cases in the service just like his."

Hunter, porter-instructor in the New York district, who played ball when a student on the baseball teams of Georgia State College and Morris Brown University, is manager and trainer of the New York porters' team. Mr. Hunter says he is not presaging anything, but he expects his men to give a good account of themselves. In line with its efforts to encourage and maintain interest in sports among its employees the same as the interest and excellence which have been fostered and attained among the musical groups, the Pullman management has furnished each one of its large terminal districts with playing equipment, uniforms and other equipment for the maintenance of a regular ball team among the porters and the mechanics, each of which have their own team. The field day contests will show these New York teams in their new, uniforms.

At the time this goes to press, he is still unable to remember any details of the accident indicating that the injuries have affected his memory. Mr. Hilton also received painful cuts and bruises from the spill, but is able to return to work. Mr. Tibbs was more fortunate. He saved himself by jumping out of the car. The party was on their way for a fishing outing when the accident occurred. Other porters on the sick list are: J. H Ballard, who is at Edgermeone Sanitarium, and W. H.

W. Worthington, Klan leader, for $2000, is living in absolute squatter with his family. He had lived on his farm for thirty-five years, and all of his children were born there. Hitt has always been respected by the white people for his industry and honesty, but his experience with the masked doggers has destroyed his faith in the white man and broken his spirit. He says he has lost all hope for the future. County officers are now protecting Hitt and his family, and the county prosecutor has expressed a determination to force Worthington to return the farm to the colored man. But rumors are strongly current to the effect that the Kluxans have sent warnings to the officials that any attempt at investigation or punishment of the night riders will be met with, quick vengeance. Special warning has been sent the prosecutor to this effect, is the report. The courts are investigating the case, however, and while Hitt will not discuss the flogging with newspaper men who have visited him, he has promised to tell all he knows about his persecutors when the case comes to trial.

HEALTH IS HERE By DR M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association How To Keep Well The trend of modern medicine is to help people keep well quite as much as to help people get well. Doctors aim to teach us to take care of ourselves so that we will keep healthy. They stress the importance of keeping fit and avoiding sickness rather than waiting until one is ill before paying attention to one's physical condition. Everyone can do much to help himself, keep well. The first thing to do is to have a complete health examination by your family doctor at least once every year. In this way you may avoid a great deal of sickness. The doctor will see, and understand any symptoms of illness in its early stages and give you proper treatment to correct it before it has done serious harm. Then, be sure you get plenty of fresh air, good, nourishing food, sunlight, sufficient sleep and exercise in the open. There are all essential in keeping in good physical trim so that you feel fit and so that you can keep your resistants to disease high. Take time to chew your food properly and to enjoy your meals. Relax after your work is done and rest your nervous system, as well as your body. Be sure to keep yourself and your clothing clean. It is a good thing to take a daily bath. Certainly take at least two or three warm baths, for cleansing purposes, every week. Clean your teeth at least twice a day. Get some rest and recreation from work every day. Sleep from eight to ten hours every night in a quiet well ventilated room. ESTABLISHED 15 YEARS Mrs. Ida White-Duncan HAIR WORKER 19, Present St. Jerome, City, N. J.
