Warning and Advice To Women Who Have Rooms To Rent To Save Them From Being 'Framed' By Officers Stool Pigeons Pose As Room Renters and Then Officers Raid Apartment or House, Making Charges of Prostitution Against Women In last week's issue of The Age there was printed on the first page a warning to women who have rooms to rent, advising them to exercise the utmost care in negotiations with wouldbe roomers, as it has recently come to light that some plain clothes officers are sending stool pigeons into homes as prospective roomers, and then, after the stool pigeon has presumably made arrangements for a rom, and possibly made an advance payment, the officers raid the place, making charges of prostitution against the woman of the house. Several such cases were heard in Jefferson Market Court last week, but fortunately for the women, their records were clear and reputations good, and their lawyer was able to convince the court that the alleged actions on which the officers based their charges were without merit, and to the cases were dismissed. Lawyer Gives Advice WARNING TO WOMEN WITH ROOMS TO RENT Women, with apartments or houses, who have rooms to rent, are warned to be careful as to whom they rent rooms to, as in many cases police officers have used stool pigeons to rent rooms and they raided the As a result of these cases, the attorney, member of one of the largest and most important law firms in the city, makes some interesting observations and offers worthwhile advice to women of all ages of the cases, the officer produced a card bearing the name of one of the women, but with "Miss" instead of "Mrs." This error she attributed to the printer, an error which she did not bother to have corrected. Commenting on this, the attorney says: The use of cards, such as Mrs. Blank, has, is very dangerous. The officer claimed that he received a card from some unknown colored officer on uneruptuous police officer to manufacture a case through the use of these cards, particularly as the card in question was improperly printed "Miss Sarah Blank." Referring to the dismissal of the cases against the women, the lawyer advises that it is more than likely that the coordinating officer will carefully watch them for the purpose of constructing another case, and these women, as well as all other women who take in lodgers, should exercise the greatest care in renting rooms to any strangers. Should Be Recommended. "They should," said he, "instit upon recommendations or upon data indicating that the applicant is respectable; they should not rent a room to an absolute stranger without baggage of any kind." He added that this matter should be taken up by clergymen and other influential men, that members of their congregations and others might be warned of this condition. And he expressed the belief that "alleged friends of people" of your rate are giving information to the bachelor sufficiently with an improper motive. The problem is a difficult one, and is not peculiar to your people, except their necessity to meet the high rents compels them to take in boarders, or lodgers."

Nutter Defend West Virginia Murderer TWO BROTHERS ARE COUNSEL IN MURDER TRIAL T. G. and I. H. Nutter Defend West Virginia Murderer 一 Charleston, W. Va—An unusual incident, in legal circles was 'the joint appearance of two colored lawyers, brothers, as counsel for the defense in a murder trial. The attorneys were T. G. Nutter of this city and H. H. Nutter of Atlantic City. The two were Adams' Lonnie 'Adams' for the killing of William Wright, both Negroes. Wright lost 25 cents to Adams in a black jack game, and there was a dispute concerning its payment. Adams went home, got a revolver, came back and shot Wright to death. The Nutter brothers filed a plea in abatement, charging that colored jurors were excluded from the jury. The prosecuting attorney finally offered a compromise verdict of twelve years in penitentiary which was accepted. The evidence indicated a first degree murder.

ALLEN Court of Appeals Makes Final Finding Throwing Out Wife's Suit A decision by the State Court of Appeals at Albany on November 22, last, unholding, this verdict of two parties added the legal battle between the Rev. George W. Allen, of 241, West 131st street and his wife, Mrs. Pearl La Van Allen, which had been waged since 1923. The Allens had been separated several months when Mrs. Allen returned to her husband's home while he was away on a vacation in August, 1923. When he returned home and found his wife there, a stormy few minutes followed during a visit to the Latter, she was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, but the charge was finally dismissed. Following the dismissal of this action a civil suit was filed in the Supreme Court for $50,000 against the minister by the firm of Griffin and Johnston of 56 North Wall street. She demanded damages for alleged false arrest and malicious prosecution. Husband Wims Verdict At the first trial before Justice Detachny on June 7, 1926, Mrs. Allen was awarded a verdict of $1,000 because of the failure of counsel for Rev. Allen to appear. On June 21, 1926 the default was reopened, and the case again came to trial on November 26, 1926, before Judge Roskane. This time the verdict was returned in favor of the husband. An appeal was noted by attorneys for Mrs. Allen and the order was affirmed by the Appellate Division on May 29, 1927. Another appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals, resulting in the final victory for the defendant. Rev Allen was originally represented by Attorney Charles Toney but he later employed Louis M.

Church; then located in West 343rd street, and served for fifteen years as president of the St. Mark's Lycetum; he was also a member of the board of trustees and a class leader. In 1911, Mr. Allen changed his membership to the Salem M. E. Church, at 133rd street and Lenox avenue, in the face of strong protests from the late Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's Church.

Leong Ding, who is an American citizen, sought to secure the admission of his 15-year old son, Leong Cheung How, and he had lost the decision before the Board of Special Inquiry and the Federal District Court. Then former United States Assistant Attorney James C. Thomas was, then retained and he took the case on appeal.

A. C. Matthews, recently resigned. Much interest was manifested by the action by Berean members, and by members of other Baptist churches, as the Rev. C. L. Franklin, assistant pastor of Concord Baptist Church, was a strong and favored candidate for the position. But when the vote was taken, it was discovered that the Rev. D. W. Hogwash, pastor of a Baptist church in Plainfield, N. J., had received a hare majority, the vote being 89 to 87 in his favor, and he was tendered the call. It is understood that Rev. Franklin was really the choice of Berean's congregation, but his candidacy was opposed by some of the influential leaders among the Brooklyn churches and an in-campaign had been waged members of the Baptist church, regardless of the election at Berean. Rev Franklin is to leave his present position as assistant to the Rev. J. B. Adams at Concord.

E. of W., were alleged to be unfriendly toward the foreign-born members of their order, they and others of their cabinet suffered an overwhelming defeat at the annual election of officers Tuesday night, December 6.

O.'E. of W. and has a membership of 3,600. I also has a temple and home costing $260,000. Were Caught Unawares. The old administration was caught completely unawares, as the charge of prejudice against Messrs. Brown and Hanson was no made openly until the night of the election. When this charge was made, the West Indian element of the lodge voted en masse and with the assistance of a few other opponents of the administration, elected their own countrymen to practically every office of the lodge. The new exalted ruler is Tim Nurse, who has served the lodge as esquire for several terms previous. Charles M. Hanson, who was elected grand auditor at the last. Grand Lodge Convention, was defeated by, Henry Duke, who had never previously held an office in the lodge. H. S. Warner, the treasurer, was the only one of the old officers re-elected. Mr. Brown had served as exalted ruler of Imperial Lodge for seven terms, and Mr. Hanson had been the secretary for two and a half years. Both had made good records and the retiring secretary good records and the most capable and efficient man hold this position in the lodge.

JUDGE IN COURT WITH REVOLVER READY TO HAND National Guard Called To Protect Negro On Trial For Murder Goldsboro, N. C.—Halted temporarily by Irate spectators who threatened a lynching and necessitated the firing of warning shots the killing out of National Guard headquarters in North Carolina came to dramatic end here December 11 with the sentencing to death of Larry Newsome, twenty-three-year old Negro, for the murder of Buela Tedder, fifteen-year, old daughter of a tenant farmer. The killing was traced to Newsome, who, Deputy Sheriff J. C. Krogery, accused of murdering the sentence, confessed barely sixty hours after the body of the young girl was found in a cotton field near here with her throat cut, was pronounced only after a near panic in the court-room and as the presiding judge, Henry A. Grady, sat with a huge automatic pistol ready to squelch any further disorder. The trouble began about five minutes after court convened, when Eric Tedder, father of the dead girl, and William Tedder, his brother, advanced through the packed and stuffy, little room toward the Negro each taking an arm of the prisoner. They lifted the arm of "Get him!" and as shouts of "Get him!" broke from a dozen throats in the crowd and others surged toward the prisoner. Spectators Stampede A general stampede, followed with many spectators breaking for the exits and court attaches and newspaper men taking cover under tables and, behind the jury box, Tables, chairs and cuspidors were knocked topsy-turvy, and one man jumped through the glass pane of a door. Officers quickly surrounded the prisoner and beat off his assailants. With his shirt nearly torn from his back, the Negro was taken to a glacier room and a guard placed beside Sheriff W. D. Grant placed his back to the door and fired two shots into the ceiling as a warning. William and Eric Tedder were seized, the former being forced to sit through the remainder of the trial handequed to two officers while the latter sat unshuckled but under guard.

These people, with their associates from almost every part of the country, are responsible for a conference that has established itself as the initial point of a new epoch in American Negro history. While I'm no sense a federation of Negro organizations, the conference crystallized the aims of all of our organized bodies; definitely determined the elements that were lacking; ascertained the fields that remained unexplored or inadequately developed and established a foundation for more precise measurement of our growth. Experienced business, men bared the stars of bitter pioneering. Exact scientists explained carefully prepared charts. Research specialists reported observations; and three different departments of the United States government were represented while unemotionally a group of compilers tabulated and indexed facts. Practices and Policies. Business practices and policies occupied a prominent place on the program. The contributors to this phase of the work presented such authentic information that their respective addresses may be accepted as authoritative surveys of their respective fields. This is especially true of "Savings, Credit and Insurance" by C. C. Spalding of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company; "The History of Fire Underwriting Among Negroes" prepared by L. W. Wilhoite and R. K. Harris of The Bankers Fire Insurance Company; "Banks and Savings Institutions" by W. G. Pearson; and "Fraternal Insurance" by the same compiler. These all bristle with tabulated facts and scheduled information that are the results of careful surveys, of, the different fields covered.

Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of Howard University besides of religion and its relation to our contributing a searching survey of religion and its relation to our every enterprise was, perhaps, the most active analyst in every feature of conference consideration present. Dr. George E. Haynes and Dr. Channing Tobias clearly defined the relationship between religious belief and activities to material progress. A: Philip, Randolph, publisher of the Messenger, and a labor organizer, cared for the interests of labor in the various discussions and delivered a remarkable address upon its consistent importance to progress. The most comprehensive survey of the political status of the Negro ever presented to any audience was given by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois at an evening session. The charts he submitted after a nationwide investigation that covered a period ranging from 1850 to the present day were remarkable for both completeness and for the facts disclosed. The analysis of crime by Lleut: Lawrence Oxley and the research into welfare work by Forester B. Washington were almost as complete and quite as depressing as FLIT DESTROYS Moths,Roaches Bodbugs,Flies Other Household Insects to disclosures. The writer was a resource of material being assembled for early presentation in aook form. Robert L. Vann of the Pittsburgh Courter, and P. B.

Federal Council Sets February 12 As Race Relations Sunday A summons to church people to penitence and prayer to free our nation from the evils of lynching and mob violence was sued today by the Federal Council of Churches through its Commission on Race Relations. "Lynching is a crime which leaves its stain upon us all," the call declares. "Any-community that flouts the dignity of the law and courts of justice opens the way to the violent rule of the mob throughout the nation. It assaults the very ideals upon which our civilization is dependent. A nation's penitence and prayer must be summoned both to check the lynching evil and to build up deeper respect for the processes of justice and new sympathetic understanding among all the people. In the attitude of penitence and the atmosphere of prayer the best things come forth." "The sobering fact that more than four thousand people have been victims of lynching in our country has filled all people of goodwill with a sense of horror and shame," states the call. "That nib violence should have continued through the years, so that in 1926 there were as many as 30 persons lynched in the United States, is so flagrantly opposed to the progress of right and brotherhood that all who are committed to the way of Christ are asked to observe a day of penitence and prayer that but American nation may be purged of this blot upon our civilization." The day chosen for this observance is February 12, known as Race Relations Sunday. A pamphlet of suggestions for the observance of Race Relations Sunday has been prepared. Among topics suggested for sermons and addresses in connection with the observance are: "What is the ideal of Christian Brotherhood in Race Relations" "The Opportunity of the Church for Promoting Better Race Relations in America," "The Challenge of the Race Question to Christian Missions and America Democracy" "Fundamental Feelings and Attitudes Between Races," "American Indian Life and History," "The Lynching Evil and Its Effects upon American Life," "Contributions of Negroes to American Music and Literature," "Present Provisions for Negro Education," "Migration of Negroes to the Cities and its Effects," "The Significance of the Negro Church in American Life," "Mutual Interests of the White and Negro Races in Health, Housing, Industry," and "Contacts With Oriental."

Saturday, December 17, 1927 THE NEW YORK AGE PAGE THREE Republicans In The Senate Are In Flustered State With The Negro In The Role Of "Banquo's Ghost" Reed of Pa. Threatens Investigation of Disfranchisement in South, and Blease Comes Back With "Jim Crow" Bill For Capitol By RIENZI B. LEMUS Washington, D. C.—The U. S. Senate, Republican—on paper—is a much flustered legislative body. And the Negro is its "Banquo's ghost," constantly bobbing up to plague and confound the strategyless "leaders." When the paper-majority horns the black into its plans the irresistible Democratic minority drafts him as a foil. Thus, between the outlaw Republicans and the black foil, the Democrat's ride roughshod over the once great G. O. P., and he who observes may readily apprehend why President Coolidge doesn't choose another term of the mess. assaulted by Italians; that it was a "drunken Negro sailor who had insulted Italians in a cafe," which insults the amazed Italians made not the least attempt to resent by act or utterance and finally the David A. Reed is a Republican Senator from Pennsylvania. He is able, possesses elements of leadership, and is a young man. Mr. Reed made known his purpose to press for Congressional investigation of Negro disfranchisement in the South, if the Senate should deny admission to his colleague, Senator-elect Vare, and to Senator-elect Snith of Illinois—both Republicans. Thus did Senator Reed horn the Negro in on his plan to force the Senate to seat two Republicans, one of whom it had already turned back at the door in the last session of the 69th Congress. The Senate, nevertheless, in street parlance, gave both Senators-elect the air, and whether or not Senator Reed will make good his gesture to investigate disfranchisement remains to be seen. Despite Reed's great filibuster in the last hours of the 69th Congress, which blocked Senate primary-, expenditures-, investigation by his motility namesake from Missouri during the interim. I do not think that he will. For— Among Reed's most unspacious and apparently sincere supporters in pressing and voting for the seating of the two Republican Senators-elect was Senator Blease of South Carolina—Democrat, of course. Mr. Blease is a consist- "right" to distranchise, segregate and "jim Crow." And, so soon as the Senate told, Messrs Vare and Smith to about-face, at the threshold of its August chamber, Senator Blease in produced a Bill to provide for separate street cars in Washington. Democratic Strategy. Quite obvious is the strategy of the South Carolina Senator. Very well-does he know that Reed comes up for renomination in the Pennsylvania. primaries next Spring: that with the Pinchots in the offing. Blease's Bill for "jim-crow" street: cars at the National Capitol would keep Pennsylvania Negroes so constantly on Reed's back until that young man would have no time left to peek into disfranchisement in South Carolina. Mississippi, nor elsewhere. And so dogh the wily Democrat, Blease of South Carolina, foil the strategy of the erudite, Republican, Reed of Pennsylvania. (Where, oh where, are the shades of Quay and Penrose?) This is not Senator David Reed's first involvement in "Banquo's ghost" strategy; though the principals were reversed on the previous occasion It was Reed, Pennsylvania, who failed Senator McKellar, Democrat, Tennessee, during the debate incidental to the Italian debt settlement in the first session of the 69th Congress, with the Negro This writer sat in the reserved gallery of the Senate and heard the discussion McKellar had the floor and was opposing the settlement. Reed interrupted him. The tilt finally reached the stage where McKellar was attempting to utter his reentment against the Italian government, which he claimed had failed to protect American citizens from assault by Italians in one of Signor Mussolini's coast towns. Laid Blame On Negro Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, said that he had investigated the incident at the State Department; that no American citizen had been THE NEWLY RENOVATED WALKER STUDIOS are now available for all private occasions such as, Weddings, Banquets, Receptions, etc. Why worry about entertaining at home?

Senator Smoot, author of the debt settlement, said that if Senator McKellar had been in the cale and heard what the drunken sailor said, McKellar would have resented it himself. McKellar howed and got off that angle of his opposition. Reed had successfully foiled him with "Banquo's ghost." The old observers and authoritatively situated here incline to class Reed's disfranchisement investigation along with the Crumpacker and Dyer-Anti-lynching Bills, both of which, despite the good intent of their authors, have been the means of keeping Negroes hopeful and in the G. O. P. ranks for a couple of generations. In other words, "Rainbow" legislation, with the glorious end always inevitably a little further on. In fairness, to Senator Reed, however, there is a small number here and hereabouts which believes Reed will press on southward with his, disfranchisement investigation resolution. Whatever he does or does not, dear is the price the G. O. P. pays for acquiescence in Negro disfranchisement thirty years ago. "Banquo's Ghost" will not down.

Yet for arbitrary, extralegal reasons the titles they presented have been treated as void and the states of Illinois and Pennsylvania are told that they can have representation in the Senate only at the pleasure of censors and white-hooded night riders representing other states. It is only human to reflect that the Republicans in Congress and the party in general but especially in Pennsylvania and Illinois, is reaping the harvest that it has sown by its tacit encouragement of lynching by the white-hooded night riders whose action is now contended. Away back in the seventies a Republican Senate kept P. B. S. Pinchback, a lawfully elected Senator from Louisiana, knocking at its doors for six years, until his term had expired before he was granted the empty honor of a seat and his salary. Since that time the Senate has complaisantly admitted unreconstructed rebels from the South, whose titles to their seats were based on fraud and the suppression of the suffrage. Such Southern Senators as Cole Blease of South Carolina, Broussard and Ransdell of Louisiana were consistent in refusing to vote for the exclusion of Vare and Smith, because of the precedent it would establish for their own exclusion, with far better reasons. Most of the Democrats, however, did not show equal sagacity, in their eagerness to score a partisan triumph by depriving the great Republican states of Illinois and Pennsylvania of equal representation. Even at that the responsibility for this lynching of two Republican Senators bearing lawful State credentials, is directly due to the encouragement and tolerance of that unlawful practice shown by the Republican majority in its refusal to pass anti-lynching legislation. The Dyer bill was passed by the House twice, only to be smothered to death by an unfriendly or indifferent Senate. As the Herald Tribune sagely remarked, "Time brings in its revenges." "The wanton and vicious thing" done by "Mr. Reed" and his fellow white caps" is the direct result of Republican inemia and indifference in failing to enforce the franchise amendments and to make lynching a Federal crime by appropriate legislation. There are sins of omission as well as sins of commission. Congress should hearken to the still small voice of the President, when he recommends that it enact any legislation it can under the Constitution to provide for the elimination of lynching. A PROHIBITION REEERENDUM. A PROHIBITION REFERENDUM. Another dry Republican has pronounced himself in favor of a referendum on prohibition; this time in the State of New Jersey. Former United States Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, in announcing his candidacy for the Senate, declared himself in favor of submitting the wet and dry issue to popular vote, in order to ascertain the views of the public on this vexed question. He said that this is the only way to obtain a true gauge of sentiment, not based on an individual candidate's personal views. The majority vote of the New Jersey state convention last June pledged the Republican party to submit this question to the voters. Mr. Frelinghuysen promises to act in accord with the result of this test of popular sentiment. As Mr. Frelinghuysen was defeated five years ago largely because of his alliance with the dry wing, of the party, this move on his part is significant of the changing sentiment as to the efficacy of enforcement methods that is making itself felt among Republicans. Senator Edwards, the Democrat who took the seat formerly held by Mr. Frelinghuysen, is a pronounced wet, and his election was attributed largely to that fact. The primaries to name the candidate for Senator will be held in 1928, in which Governor Stokes and National Committeeman Hamilton F. Kean will contest for the nomination against Mr. Frelinghuysen. The colored voters of New Jersey should have no difficulty in making a choice among these three candidates for the nomination. Mr. Frelinghuysen's record as a Senator showed that he is dependable and to be relied upon to vote straight on all questions affecting human rights. He believes in the direct primary and in the free expression by the members of the party of their choice for office. He has been on the side of all legislation providing for sanitation, pure food, better schools and other reforms. He stood out for the passage of anti-lynching legislation, when others dodged the issue. His decision that the question of prohibition should be submitted tothe people is in keeping with the trend of the times, which has demonstrated the futility of the present effort to enforce an impopular measure which has not the backing of public sentiment behind it. On a similar submission of a refereadum to the people in New York State, the result was a popular majority for modification of the present law, which works mostly for the benefit of the bootlegger. DISTRUST OF HOSPITALS. Some of the members of the Negro press affect to perceive something sinister about the fact that Florence Mills and Tiger Flowers died after undergoing operations in New York hospitals. The St. Louis Argus said ominously, "It looks like New York hospitals are ideal places for prominent race men and women to die," while the Cleveland Gazette demanded "an official investigation into the cause of Tiger Flowers' death." Some of the members of the Negre stress affect to perceive something sinister about the fact that Florence Millard Tiger Flowers died after undergoing operations in New York hospitals in St. Louis Argus said ominously, "I look like New York hospitals are ideas for prominent race men and women to die," while the Cleveland Gazette demanded "an official investigation into the cause of Tiger Flowers' death." This sounds like a revival of the old one objection raised among ignorant people against being taken to a hospital or fear that the doctors or nurses would minister what they called "the black battle," which was supposed to put aid to the patient's troubles forever. This body was then popularly supposed to be sent to a medical school for directing purposes. This is an old bog that should be exploded by this time. The New York hospitals as a rule are efficiently conducted and the patient is assured of better service and more skilled treatment than could be afforded in their homes. The fact that death often the result following an operation does not prove to the contrary. As was stated at a conference of physicians old recently ni this city, the effect of an operation on a patient is one of those things that cannot be predicted. It is not unknown for a patient to die before the operation is performed, merely from the anticipation of the shock. Another patient may die under the influence of the anesthetic. Each case has its individual reaction, which cannot be told advance. There is no earthly reason for flinging bones at New York hospitals, or any other hospitals for that matter, because patients of prominence die under an operation. Hospitals are a blessing to the sick and afflicted, whether they are victims of disease or accident. Most hospitals are conducted with the view of giving the greatest service to those who need it most. One complaint made against them is that they are more accessible to the extremely poor and very rich than to the middle class, who may only moderate rates. But their medical skill is expended in behalf of all admitted to their gates, without bias or omission. It is not well to preach distrust of stich institutions.

The news that a movement has been started to build up a strong local organization of the National Negro Business league in this city is full of significance as an indication of an effort to stabilize the economic situation of the race. The operation of retail business in the subsiding of the daily necessities of life of the great deficiencies in the cew The news that a movement has been started to build up a strong local organization of the National Negro Business League in this city is full of significance, as an indication of an effort to stabilize the economic situation of the race. The operation of retail business in the supplying of the daily necessities of life is one of the great deficiencies in the evolution of Harlem. The gold mine of catering to the needs of the thousands of wage earners is still left to the working of alien races. Individual enterprise has tackled the problem, with a record of many failures to few successes. If individual efforts could be coordinated and supported by a strong league, bent on the encouragement of such enterprises and able to benefit through the experience and advice of the national association, the outlook for the struggling retailer might become more promising. It is a wise move to establish a strong local business league as an aid and incentive to promoters of retail business. The path of the retailer nowadays is not strewn with roses. An indication of the difficulties that beset the average shopkeeper was shown in the fact that Congress has been asked to authorize a survey of retail merchandising under the direction of the Department of Commerce, in order to help retailers solve their problems of supply and distribution. The retailer, of course, stands closest to the actual consumer and feels the immediate reaction of good and bad times. Every aberration of industry, from expansion to shutdown, is immediately passed on to the retailer. Among the small retailers the rate of business mortality is much higher than it should be, and this is speaking generally, so the colored retailer but shares the hazards peculiar to his trade. The high rate of failures in the retail business is attributed to the distributive system. When, as is stated, the failures in any line of business outnumber the successes, there is something radically wrong with the system of doing business. Whether a government investigation will be able to determine where the fault lies and point out a remedy, is a matter that only time can tell. gained by studying the methods of those retailers who make a success of their business. A strong business The Brooklyn Daily Eagle recently printed the following communication from George Foster Peabody of Saratoga Springs: Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: I cannot refrain from writing to yo uto express my own sense of indebtedness for your admirable editorial page of November 16. It is a great satisfaction to have indebtedness for concentrated in three columns. I cannot refrain from expressing my profound regret that so really fine a citizen and potentially great statesman as Senator Glass should have allowed himself to be probed by Senator Borah into a position which calls for your vigorous demunciation. His position seems to be a sad exhibit of the apparently unending folly of former senators which, it has been well said, is far more destructive in its effect on the slave owner than on the slave. His keen mind, if free to trace from the beginning the real responsibility for the bringing of men and women from Africa and holding them without possibility of either education or self-control even as to food and clothing, would scarcely have deemed it logical conclusion to include it in the legislative character to the vindictive character of the legislation and the wicked combination of the most degraded of humans illustrated by the carpet bag regimes. Only one who knows the dire poverty in which the South was left when he lost their effort to establish a separate sovereignty can understand how it was that there were no resources for the education of the white population, much less the black. The effective enforcement of such amendments to the Constitution as the 10th, 14th and 15th is not to be found through methods which imore that great fundamental principle of law which was so sably set forth by James C. Carrier in his monumental *Cancer and Function of Law*. Is there not-already discernible a profound current of reaction among the olivers of temperance, who hid their time to give the 18th Amendment all opportunity, that might be taken care of who now discover that their faith in this fundamental principle of underlying sound law is not to be overthrown by the most determinate and widespread exhibition of fanaticism entrenched with religious organization that the world admires? I am profoundly interested in having the 30' per cent. of our population represented in our By DR, M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association It Is Expensive To Be Ill The high cost of sickness is well recognized. It is an expensive proposition to be all. Illness which extends over a long period of time is especially dear, because the expense of the sickness is carried over many weeks, and often the patient has no income during that time. In a recent issue of "Hygiaea" an investigation unuttered by the Women's Educational and industrial Union of Boston was reported upon. It is stated that eight credit unions which make loans to workers reported the most that the expenses for loans was to met the expenses of sickness. Many of them are made to pay dental bills, some for the expenses of childbirth, some for other sicknesses and some for hospital bills. The comment is made that, while the loans are great, they do not necessarily indicate that the cost of medical and nursing care is beyond the income of the average person. The comment does not make sufficient provision for sickness and medical emergencies. It is important that people learn to put by a certain amount of their savings in preparation for emergencies such as sickness which is apt to come to any family. Moreover, it is well to learn to take care of the family's health much sickness may be prevented. A great deal of sickness is preventable. Everyone should have a complete physical examination every year. The doctor will discover any physical defects and thus much serious illness can be avoided. A great deal of sickness can be avoided by keeping one's generosity up, giving light. Giver a good health habits, get plenty of fresh air, sunlight, good food and exercise, in an effort to do this. Do not neglect any unusual symptoms of illness, even though they seem slight. Xmas Seals Sale Is Not A Red Cross Function It Fights Tuberculosis "Since the opening of the twentieth annual Christmas Scal Sale, we have been concerned concerning the relation of the have had a great many inquiries Christmas seal to the Red Cross." Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, R. N., executive secretary, Helen Tuberc league could help greatly in gathering and spreading this kind of information. Southern States come into a proper fuctioning in the politics of the country. Any one who knows the South will realize there is no sound political sentiment developed, because the white primary prevents any true discussion of opinion. It is a pitiful effort to demonstrate that Anglo-Saxon state superiority. Every State exclosing Mississippi, cannot take care of itself without an arbitrary assumption of power, divorced from intelligence and knowledge, and is the most serious danger that out of our great Anglo-Saxon experiment in democracy. There are many of the poucher minds throughout the South, I know, who are restive under this limitation and too many of them leave the South, for the North, where the greatest opportunities also often tempt them to ignore the political life, which is the most important business that a democracy offers opportunity for. I, therefore, crave earnest the more rapid spread of a sound educational opportunity to every one in the South. I believe it would be of very definite advantage to have the representation in Congress related at the county level to the average vote cast by the citizens in Congressional districts. This will I believe, more. quickly than anything else tend to give public education the impetus it requires and produce the temper among the people necessary to vote the largely increased sums to properly provide complete educational opportunities for college and professional the way, but all too slowly is it being followed. When one realizes that the Civil War was ended more than 60 years, ago one's patience is greatly tried as he looks upon the potentiality of this 30 per cent of our population as compared with its actual development in human progress. The completeest and irrefutable proof of the facts, to which I, make reference, is the temper of the organized churches and even their minister—the ambassadors of Christ—who taught no respect of persons and the Fatherhood of God and brotherhood in every man. I pray that this page of battle thrown by Senator Glass may be the beginning of a frank and full discussion out of which his keen and logical mind may prove to be a leader in a real recovery by the South of its sound leadership in working out the principles of Magna Charta, GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Nov. 28. the Committee's offices, 202 West 136th street "The Red Cross and the Tuberculosis Association are two entirely distinct organizations." The American Red Cross receives money for its support from the Red Cross Roll call made between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving each year. The Tuberculosis Association receives funds for its support from the sale of Christmas seals conducted each year from Thanksgiving to Christmas. "The Harlem Committee is a branch of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association which is conducting the sale of Christmas seals in New York City Money raised by the seal sale is used to carry on the Association's program of health education and service throughout the city in an effort to fight tuberculosis and other disease and to build health awareness. We said that funds secured from the sale of Christmas Seals have always been used for tuberculosis work and that, until 1919, the Red Cross assisted the Tuberculosis Associations with the sale. Since 1920, the Christmas seal sale has been conducted entirely by the Tuberculosis Associations. The sale of Christmas Seals in Harlem supports the activities of the Harlem Committee, including a clinic Nutrition-class for children and a wide-spread program of health education and service to fight tuberculosis and other diseases and build up health. Cold Weather Health By HELENA L. WILLIAMS Too much cannot be said at this time of the year about the importance of fortifying ourselves against colds, influenza and related infectious diseases. not be said at this time of the year about the importance of fortifying ourselves against cold, influenza and related infectious diseases. One of the best means of doing this is to keep an air window windows open at night throughout the cold weather season. Most of us allow less and less fresh air into our homes as the thermometer falls, though doctors tell us that there is no need to fear cold outdoor air provided the body is kept sufficiently warm. Of course, we need more, woolen blankets and quilts and they must be of light weight so as not to interfere with proper rest. These are not cheap, but compared to the cost of medicines and lowered resistance Mayor Thompson's strenuous campaign to revise American history and to eliminate English propaganda has at last produced a local reaction in a Negro weekly. The Chicago Bee said: The English speaking world. is stirred by the strenuous ability of dynamic Mayor, "America girl," and his strenuous "America girl" our histories of English propaganda and put names on real heroes that have been omitted in them. His list, published this week, gives the names, of Poles, Germans, Irish, Hollanders, Swedes, and, what not—but not one Afro-American! Will some of the Mayor's close Afro-American cronies attempt to persuade him to substitute "Americans First," for "America First!" But perhaps after all he may not be to blame: We must not only ask, but insist on having what we want if we want it, and it is our due. Then again he may have been influenced by that unbidden known as mute, whatever that "R"* whose influence to keep those of us unshamed of being Afro-Americans, Negroes or colored, out of histories under those labels. So Attucks, the boys at Fort Wagner, Fort Sumptu, Fort Pillow, San Juan Hill, Carizal, and Flanders Field, will be unidentified unless we hurry. The Bee should insist on school histories with cuts of the Attucks monument and showing Peter Salem shooting down the British commander at Bunker Hill. Declaring that 'Memphis Negroes vote sensibly the Nashville Clarion reviewed the recent municipal election in the former city as follows: The time had come to elect a Mayor or the city. The man who had held that position had maintained a harsh attitude toward our people torse time, and had positively relied to consider any of their grievances. He had built a crematory torge and refuse in the midst of the schools and high class residences of our people. He had done this objectionable thing over their vigorous protest. The colored people had asked for additional parks and play grounds, and he had ignored their petition. In order to protect and defend themselves by the wise and effective use of the ballot, they organized what is known as a "civic and political league." This organization was formed for the purpose of being given them by request and pleading. They published what they wanted in the daily papers. They asked for Negro Policemen; Negro Firemen, and larger privilege in the use of public parks and play grounds. The Mayor became "enraged and published that no such things would be granted the Negroes while he was in office. The colored people accepted his alcalde's guarantee of their own life, guaranteed their fair play, additional parks and play grounds, a hospital to be operated by their own people for the training of nurses and better opportunity for their physicians. Despite all efforts, at intimidation the colored vote was solidified and the cry of Negro domination fell flat. The Overton ticket was elected by a vote of three to one. How its guarantees will be carried out remains to be seen. Discussing the ulterior aspects of Garveyism in the St. Luke Herald of Richmond, Gordon Blaine Hancook said: Most of all Garvey put the Negroes to thinking in terms of selfhelp and thus inspired they raised millions, and that these millions were foolishly and surreptitiously squandered, does not take away the raising of such amount "among Negroes and for Negroes. Tuskegee was built by the millions given by white philanthropy; the N. A. A. C. P. has been largely financed by means made available by white friends of Negro freedom; the Urban-League has been creature of the white philanthropy, but the Illions that Garvey gathered were not Negroes; and though it was tragic that Garvey was an excuse for one of the greatest exploits the race has yet endured, the fact remains that Garvey has shown what Negroes can do, and whereas Garvey failed some other will see the possibilities and succeed. Garvey has perise is slight. Less costly coverings are blankets made of paper, of which a number of good varieties that are both light and warm are on the market. These are especially useful, if placed under the mattress, or over the mattress and under the sheet as they prevent the cold air from sleeping through. Bth nd affressing rooms can be kept warm during the night so that the mattress not be exposed to chill upon rising, even, then, let it not be ashamed of be socks and flannel night clothes if, and the consistency of our blood makes them necessary. Pride and a tendency to shiver are no excuse for sleeping in stuffy rooms. We all know that tuberculosis patients the world over are required to sleep outdoors winter and summer and hundreds, of those who have returned to normal health under the heat. To impress upon the public the value of fresh air is one of the chief functions of the National Tuberculosis Association, which is conducting its twentieth annual Christmas seal sale in December. See announcement of our Big Subscription Offer. given these United States a demonstration of the self-help spirit among Negroes that can be turned to large account by somebody, with both vision and ability. Again Garvey's plight indicates how seriously the white man takes Negro thought and thinking. The fact that this government thought enough of Garvey to deport him is one of the highest compliments that Garvey yet received. The writer is not a Garveyite, nor even an admirer of Garvey, but it is hard to conclude that Garveyism is not a total loss to the Negro race and the nation. Anyone who can salvage a moral gain from the Garvey movement should rank high as an adjuster of insurance losses. The Philadelphia Tribune, which was established in 1884 by Chris J. Peggy recently entered into its forty-fourth year of publication. It said: We have talked much about business. Much has been said about getting jobs for colored people TRIE TRIBUNE practices what it preaches. It gives employment to twenty-five men and women aside from a host of newsboys and dealers. Some of the highest salaried mechanics of color in rhodeipina work for THE TRIBUNE. Then, too, it gives employment to several trained writers and executives who rank among the best in their line. Aside from these writers and executives, columns are always open to help worthy people over their programs. Surely THE TRIBUNE is worthy of all the support that a faithful public has showered upon it. Those who have taken the time to visit THE TRIBUNE plant have been agreeably surprised. Many of them stated, that they didn't know Philadelphia had such a wonderful newspaper plant. An invitation is extended to the general public to come and see their newspaper in the making. When young men preparing See the newspaper operated by skilled colored mechanics, setting type. Observe the massive press under the supervision of colored pressmen sending out thousands of printed copies of THE TRIBUNE. See highly-skilled Negro compositors' making up the forms. Look in some Thursday afternoon on the busy group of young boys preparing the papers for mailing and for the truck which serves agents to agents and dealers throughout Philadelphia. The Tribune has amply justified its claim as a local institution, rendering effective service to the community. Under the heading of "Jazz in Literature," the Baltimore Afro-American gave the following analysis of a recent magazine article: Mr. George S. Schuyler uses 16 synonyms for the word "colored," and 9 for the word "white" in an article entitled "Our White Folks" in the current issue of the "American Mercury." For "colored," Mr. Schuyler also uses Afro-American, sooty brethren, Ethiop, Shine, Blackamoor, Brown, Dark brother, Negro, Blacks, Senagambian, Chocolates, Moke, Smoke, Uncle Torn, Coons, and Sambos, For "whites," he employs Nordics, Crackers, Pinks, Oflays, Caucasian, Anglo, Saxon, Peckewoods, Red Necks and Pork skinned. In his final paragraph of 14 lines, 9 of these synonyms are used to jazz the description of the Negro as a black Gulliver chained by white 'Liliputians—a prisoner in the jail of race prejudice—a fellow cynical enough to laugh at his own predicature. Back of the jazz is the seriousness of common sense. A dash of jazz might be allowed to give spice to a weighty sociological study, but a deluge of it weakens the force of the argument. Too much clowning disqualifies a speaker or writer for serious consideration. The Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in an editorial plea to take care of the mission fields, said: There are seven million unchurched Negroes in this country to-day. What a wonderful opportunity for our people! We blast you boast of 100, 800 members in Georgia, there are 1,000,000 Negroes in that State. While we boast of 80,000 members in South Carolina, there are 70,000 Negroes in that State. While we may have 40,000 members in Mississippi, there are 900,000 Negroes in State. While we may have 30,000 Negroes in Louisiana, there are 600,000 Negroes in that State, and on. While we list that we have doubled the membership in the North and have something like 90,000 members in the North, we must remember there are 1,500,000 Negroes in that section. We do not have our in sixteen in the North. What does that mean? It means there is great work to do. We have not yet struck our stride. We must not rest on our oars. We have not yet exhausted our resources: We have millions of Negroes, who ought to be some church and if we give the Blacks the chance to change and others part of the 7,000,000 out of any church, there should be at least two million and a half Negroes now unchurched who ought to come into our Church. Instead of 750,000 members, we should have three million members. While urging the necessity for missionary efforts, Editor Wright is broad enough to believe that the time will come, when determinational lines will hardly be discernable.

The bishop selected as his theme a passage of scripture from Psalms, the secret of the Lord are with the theme "he loves me." of a Christian success is embodied in that "Love" which he possesses for God and for his fellow man. Prayer is the agency which creates and maintains that Love. The financial secretary of Lyingstone College. Dr. Jas. Edward Mason, was the speaker at the evening service, subject.

Elder Lawson gave a brief, but sound introduction, touching upon the fall of man, and the mercy of God in coming unto man, that he might be redeemed from the curse of the fall. We can only be sanctified or accepted of God by the Holy Ghost, for it must be the Lord that worketh in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure, and His Spiritin you is the working power. He hids every one to repent and be baptized, and filled with the spirit. The evening sermon was given by Lymanite M. McDowell, from Luke 19:10.

The hand of fellowship was extended to fourteen new members. The closing message of the day was delivered by Rev. Dr. Walker, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Cincinnati, Ohio, from the subject "Thy Will Be Doe," This was another inspiring sermon. First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock service Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the 'text': "Howbeit when he, the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak; and he will show you 'things to come. He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it 'unto you. All things that the father shall say to the father that he shall take of mine and shew it unto you." St. John 16: 13, 14, 15. Theme: "The Spirit of Truths Exhibit." Pastor Bolden said: 'While life itself in its various forms and manifestations may be viewed as an exposition of divine intelligence and arrangement based upon eternal truth there are conditions that take place in human experience that seem to manifest an element of relative historical truth in a fraudulent and deceptive persons when plotting wicked cruel and murderous schemes resort to this field of human relative and imaginary truth as a cover for their criminal acts, where they may protect themselves by exhibiting so much of the truth in the plotted environment and resting the claim of their deliverance from wrong-doing upon sentiment, emotion or race prejudice. This wicked people do the visible work of hiding inside the accountability of their acts based upon eternal truth. At 2 p.m. the Sunday school was opened and a review of the lesson citizen by the pastor. At 4:30 the Literary Society convened. Special speaker, Mr Whitner. His talk was interesting and inspiring.

Bridge St. A. M.-E. Church "The Christian man and woman who lives a real Christian life is the biggest and best argument for the religion of Jesus Christ, for he has ascended and they are His representatives on earth." This was the dominant note of the sermon of the pastor Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler Sunday morning, December 5. He was speaking on the topic, "The Advice of a Religious Sage." The text was Romans 12:21. It was communion Sunday and despite the inclement weather the spacious edifice was filled to capacity. Other points in the sermon were it is wise to take advice from old people and Christian people. No one, then, can themselves Christians, is transformed there is a change of mind. He who has not the mind and spirit of Christ and does not act like Christ is deceiving himself. No matter how much we sing and pray, unless we do the will of God we cannot enter His Kingdom. You cannot do everything that the world does and remain Christians. Dr. Tyler closed with the thought that the Christian man must be bigger than the little man in acts of kindness and forgiving. One new member, joined the church. This was followed by the serving of the holy communion. In the afternoon the Stewardesses had services. It was known as "Stewardess Day." The services were well attended. At the evening hour the Rev.

C.—The Department of Commerce, through its census bureau has issued a series of preliminary bulletins giving statistics showing results of shift in various states as to inmates of state mental disease; institutions for feeble-minded and epileptics and state prisons and reformatories. The first bulletin covered institutions for feeble-minded and epileptics in 36 states. Sixty institutions had 7.203 admissions during 1926 as compared with 6,633 in 1922, an increase of 8.6 per cent, represented by 36 of 7.4 first admissions per 100,000 in population and in 7.6 in 1926 showing that the number of first admissions has increased but little more rapidly than the general population. But the total number of patients under constitutional care shows a steady increase—in 1922 there were 52,043 and in 1926 there were 52,043 increase from 47.20 per 100,000 of population in 1922 to 54.7 in 1926. Figures covering mental diseases were taken from reports covering 105 hospitals in 30 states. During 1926, these institutions received 36,936 first admissions, as against 34,362 in 1922, an increase of 7.5 percent in the number of patients in 1926 a ratio of 47.3 to 193,000 population as compared with 46.8 in 1922. In 1922, these states had 156,454 mental patients, which number in 1926, had increased to 178,353, being 218.5 per 100,000 of population in 1922 and 226.9 in 1926. More striking increases are shown in the state prisons and reformatories, first reports from 38 institutions in 31 states, and they showed an increase of 28.3 per cent from 1923 to 1926. The prisoners received from courts during 1923 totalled 21,054, but the 1926 admissions reached 27,018. And the relation to the total population in 1923 was 100,000 as compared with 34.1 in 1926. Total prisoners in 1923 were 47,578, as against 63,828 in 1926, jumping from 606 to 84.1. The Age is indebted to Charles Burke, the author of the burean, for the bulleins quoted.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala. — Dr. Robert R. Moton, chairman of the colored, Advisory rehabilitation Committee, named by Secretary Hoover to aid in relieving conditions in the Mississippi flood area, has sent a telegram to Dr. Hoover recommending the immediate removal of Miss Cordell Townsend, who is in charge of Red Cross work in Melville, Tenn. A native of New York, the woman is said to have exhibited more racial prejudice than the natives, and to have refused permission authorized Negro workers to funnel in to Melville. She has neglected caring for Negro refugees, largely outnumbering the whites, and to have been without sympathy for Negro sufferers. Dr. Moton's telegram urged Miss Townsend's removal from Red Cross, work because of discrimination an obstacle to food sufferers. Rockefeller Gives $25,000 To African Y When Max Yengan, Y. M. C.

Some Reasons Why Women Continue To Sew At Home Women continue to sew at home in spite of the wide distribution of attractive ready-to-wear clothing. More than two-thirds of a large group of women reached in a recent survey of clothing practices reported that they made nine or more kinds of garments for their families, according to the Bureau of Home Economics, United States Department of Agriculture, which were included in this survey. They resided communities ranging from rural districts to cities and incomes from less than $1,000 to over $5,000. In most cases the largest percentage of women making garments for women and girls were in the rural districts and the small towns. It was also found that a larger percentage of women with small income are making garments at home than those having larger income. The percentage of the women in this survey were making house dresses, summer wash dresses, aprons and nightgowns for girls and women. The percentage making children clothes decreased as the size of the community increased, and in most cases as the income increased. The highest percentage making each garment, except coats, found in groups with income in the $3,000. Over 90 per cent of those answering answered that they made clothing at home in order to lower their cost. Since 1857 Eagle Brand has raised more healthy babies than all other infant foods combined.

O. Phil Kaplan, George*Courtney, and other leading middleweights. Moore has met and defeated the best of them, including Kid Roberts, Leo Lomski, Allentown Joe Gans and Lew Kid Wallace. Besides his pugilistic talent, Moore is a singer and something of an actor, having been on the stage in his native California for a brief time. He is also every inch a gentleman and a logical successor to Tiger Flowers. *George Godfrey of Leperville, Pa., is being hailed by local scribes as the "new black menace." There is nothing new about Godfrey. He has been fighting for five or six years now and the fact that he is exceptionally able is evidenced by the leading white heavyweights. All I can advise him, to do is stack away the "iron men" while he has them; as Harry Wills did. from the blue and gold five, Mitchell getting two, and Byers one. The other scoring was garnered from the foul line. The Renaissance team has also just completed a successful road trip. In winning four games the Renaissance defeated the Morrisitown, N. J. Five by the score, 41 to 30, then traveling to Amsterdam, N. Y., defeating the Dutchmen in a thrilling court battle, the final score 29-25. They met the Cohoes, of Cohoes, N. Y., by the score of 37 to 23. In Springfield, Mass., the Renaissance met and defeated the SpSmrigfield Professionals to the tune of a 46-28 count. The San Salvador Caseys will soon appear at the Renaissance Casino, for plans are under way to match the Catholic league champions with the colored basketball leaders. The tournament will extend over the weekends, so to allow working boys as well as schoolboys a chance to compete. The opening rounds will be played on Friday, February 17th and Saturday the 18th. The following week will witness the semifinal rounds on the 24th and 25th Games will be arranged according to schedule, beginning each evening at 7:00 o'clock and at 2:00 o'clock on Saturday afternoons. A beautiful twenty-inch silver trophy for the winning teams and gold medals for the individual players will be presented by the school athletic council, and provision will be made for competition in two divisions, the lightweight and unlimited class. An attractive feature of the plans for the tournament will be the fact that the school is planning to accommodate to those players who come from a distance and who will desire to remain overnight. This will solve the problem of transportation for many of the boys, while giving them a chance at a tase of boarding school life. Announcements are being prepared to go-out to the leading amateur teams of New Jersey. A. C. A. A. To Meet At Howard Dec. 30, 31 A. C. A. A. To Meet At Howard Dec. 30, 31 Washington, D. C.-The A. C. A. A. will hold its second annual meeting in the Howard University gymnasium Friday and Saturday, December 30th and 3st. This association of schools and colleges meets annually to discuss all phases of Inter-institutional athletics. Prominent among its aims are: I. The organization of institutions of the same grade into competing conferences. II. The registration and organization of officials and coaches of the various sports. III. The development of Negro athletics generally along the lines of the best thought as expressed by the N. C. A. A., the A. A. U., and similar organizations. The most far reaching result of this session will be the organization of a collegiate playing conference modelled after the Western Conference. The leading institutions in this new movement are Morehouse College, Atlanta University, Fisk University, West Virginia Collegiate Institute, Willberforce University, Lincoln University, the N. C. College and Howard University. Considerable progress has already been made since the last meeting of this association in the formation of a similar conference in Texas. Wiley University, Samuel Houston College, Paul Quinin, and Prairie View will make up the Big Four League. Although the C. I. A. A., has not taken out membership, they have invited to become members and are expected to accept this invitation at their 17th Annual Sessions to be held at the Union University, Dec. Louis L. Watson, director of Physical Education at Howard University is president of the A. C. A. A. and expects from twenty-five to thirty institutions to be represented at this session. FIELD & TRACK --- Now Under Management of Harry Alberts George Byrd Elected Captain Of Hampton 1928 Football Team Hampton Institute, Va.—The 1927 football season was brought to a close for the Seasider with the selection of George E. Byrd as captain to succeed William D. Williams, popularly known as Bulldog, George E. Byrd hails from Wilmington, North Carolina, where he first began his football career in the Williston Graded School of that city. Since coming to Hampton he has played one year in the inter-class conference and then graduated to the big team. For two years Byrd piloted the Hampton Blue and White machine to the championship of the C. I. A. A. His work in the quarterback position has helped to make the Hampton eleven one of the best teams in the association. Never could the opponents consider the game won when George E. Byrd was-at the helm, selecting plays and calling signals. Football, however, is not the only interest of the newly elected captain. This captain of the 1928 football squad is also captain of the baseball team for 1928. The coaching staff, composed of Gideon, E. Smith, head coach, and Chas, H. Williams, and J. Spencer Ruffin, assistants, stated that they were well pleased with the work of the team for the season. As a result of their good work a big turkey feast will be given in their honor, at which sweaters will be awarded to the fifteen men winning letters for the season. Of the fifteen men receiving letters, four will not be seen in play next season; George W. Davis, Captain William D. Williams, Williams E. Lee, and Sanford Brady have played thir allotted time in the association, Williams, Davis, and Lee have at different times during their four years been given places on All-C. I. A. A. teams. The fifteen men receiving letters and sweaters are: Sanford P. Bradby, end, Charles City; Va.; William E. Lee, tackle, Petersburg; Va.; Sylvester E. Perkins, Dovesville, S. C.; Harold Gates, center, Evansville, Ind.; Carl M. Hill, guard, Norfolk, Va.; Theodore R. Robinson, guard, Norfolk, Va.; Oscar H. Hunter, tackle, Orange, N. J.; George W. Davis, end, Brookneal, Va.; George E. Byrd, quarterback, Wilmington, N. C.; William D. Williams, halfback, Tulsa, Okla.; Oscar Jones, fullback, Kansas City, Kans.; Edgar Guest, halfback, Tulsa, Okla.; Wm. McKing, halfback, Lexington, Ky.; Francis Lee Baker, halfback, Phoebus, Vaiz, J. Alexander Moore, Cape May, N. J. Francis Selected To Manage Hilldale Nine Philadelphia, Pa.—Charlie Freeman, the new president of the Hilldale Club, has signed Bill Francis, veteran third baseman of Chicago, to manage the Hilldale baseball team for the 1928 season. Incidentally, this will be a return engagement for the diminutive third sacker, as Francis captained the Hilldale team for the seasons of 1920, '21 and '22. It is not expected, however, that Francis will play next season. He has been playing ball for nearly 15 years and in the heyday of his career was considered the greatest third baseman in the country. It was while with the American Giants of Chicago, under Rube Foster, that Francis developed into a star and formed part of the greatest infield of Grant, DeMoss, Lloyd and Francis. The appointment of Francis as manager is expected to be the forerunner of a genral shakeup in the Hilldale ranks. Please have your news items in by Tuesday afternoon of each week. Articles reaching the office later than Tuesday, will appear in the followoing week's issue of the paper. THEATRICALS WILLIAM E. CLARK, Editor Alabama State Normal Holds Tuskegee To Tie Montgomery, Ala.-The Alabama State Normal Honrets, rose to the pinnacle in football Saturday, December 10, in the magnificent Cranipton Bowl before an enthusiastic of 5000 spectators from all parts of Alabama when they stopped the wonder team of Coach Cleve L, Abbott and held the fourtime conference champions representing Tuskegee Institute to a 0-0 tic. It was Alabama State's Alumni Homecoming Day as well as the fourth successive game between these two rival teams, staged in the wonderful stadium of the South and represented the first time that the Tuskegee eleven has left the field after a conference battle without a victory since 1923. It represented the achievement of a goal which the Hoinets have deserved for five years and a goal which the other South-eastern Conference teams have striven to reach annually for the past four seasons. The entire story, of the game may be told by stating that the Alabama State Hornets staged a magnificent defensive game with a dogged defense which was harder than iron when danger theratened. There were comparatively few spectacular plays except on defense and the Hornets followed the ball throughout the entire game with marvelous accuracy despite the many clever trick plays which were attempted by the powerful Tuskegee backfield. It was just a question of a superb line with the etirel Hortet team playing inspired football as a unit that caused the great 'Stevenson to fail to shine except in the duty of punting. Tuskegee's best opportunities to score came at the beginning of the game when Slate Normal was defending the goal continually within the forty-yard zone for the first quarter. Moore's first pumps were rather unimpressive and consequently made necessary a strong defense, by the Hornets at a time when the Tigers were fresh and anxious to make successful gains from their bag of tricks. The second quarter was featured by some flashy plays-as a result of attempted aerial work by each team with the opposing team interweave of Moore's heaves and Moore in return immediately intercepted one of those passes from Stevenson. And then, Stevenson's only dash came when he intercepted a pass hurled by Rufus Lewis; and made 35 yards before being nabbed by Hall. In the third and fourth quarters, Tuskegee drove hard when comparatively little wa to be gained, but were always held for downs after they reached the forty yard line. Moore had come into his own in the second period and kept the Hornets out of danger by consistent, long, high punts which were good to behold. Captain Bailey Stevenson, and Paul SSmm were doing their best, but could not master the magnificent exhibition of defensive play which the Hornets hurled at them throughout the game. The game was also very outstanding because of the very smooth and rapid manner in which it was executed. There were no bickering from either side; there was the greatest cordiality and sportsmanship among opposing players and supporters of both teams termed the game the cleanest and most satisfying game had been witnessed in many a Saturday. The schools themselves were tense rivals in the game-but the best of friends otherwise. A joint band and student parade in the down-town business section was staged in the morning and then the crack 72 piece Tuskegee Institute Band, led by the matchless Captain Drye, took the field during the intermission to form the initials of each school and to play the school songs of each institution with Josie Sims of the student body, Miss Mattie Beverly of the Montgomery Alumni Association and Prof. W. C. Davis of the Birmingham Alumni Association representing State Normal as sponsors. The several receptions after the game were thoroughly enjoyed by all the visitors and added to the gaiety of the day. No heroes should be picked because the entire personnel of each team played wonderful ball with no errors. For State Normal however, Coger and Johnson at guard, Garner and Hall at end, Lindsay and Caintain-Anderson at tackle, Campbell at center and Moore at quarter were perhaps the most outstanding of the players ushered into the fray by Coaches Jacobs and at end and the backfield of Smith, Stevenson, Stewart, Shanklin, Bailey and Wooten seemed to be the lunaries for the Tuskegeeens who still win the conference flag this season despite this tie game.

"Strut, Step and Pep" Goes Big At The Alhambra Theatre "Strut, Step and Pop," the current show at the Alhambra Theatre is speed personified. These performers really can act, dance and sing. We especially recommend the trio, headed by Tim Moore, that sings "Crawdads." Harlem craves harmony and the Alhambra management gives it to them. Slim Henderson and Manton have an amusing sketch called "How to Eat an nothing a Year." Theresa Brookos, May Bell, Amanda Randolph and Gertie Moore vie for feminine honors. The Alhambra chorus tops the show with a series of new routines. The girls are fresh-looking, their costumes are pretty and they uphold their reputation as the best chorus in town. The Alhambra photoplay feature starting Thursday has no less than four famous stars—Keneth Harlan, Clara Bow, Raymond Griffith and Carmel Myers in "The Poisoned Paradise." The musical comedy melange for next week has a Christmas flavor. It has the odd title "Hang Up Your Stocking," and the management adds, "See what Santa Claus will bring you." the photoplay feature to start the week is "The Girl who wouldn't Work," and it has three, popular stars, Margaret de la Motte, Lionel Barrymore and Henry B.

Below, in endless depth, the workers. Between these two brains and hands—the center is missing. A city without a center is a city without a heart, without a soul. Below, among the tortured, dull drudges lives an apparition, a saint—Mary. Comforter to the oppressed. Above, among the tinselled mighty, is Eric Masterman, only son of the master, mind of Metropolis. Mary appears and conquers him by her mystic power. As in a dream, he follows her down to worker's world, to 'be the deliverer of her people. But John Masterman hears of Mary and suspecting trouble, attempts to separate her from the workers.

Channing Pollock adapted it for local use. "The Big Parade" At The Lincoln Theatre Metro-Goldwyn, 'Mayer, in announcing John Gilbert in "The Big Parade," which will soon be presented at the Lincoln Theatre, suggest Gilbert as likely candidate for the suffrages of the fans as "greatest screen lover of all time. They point with pride to his Prince Danilo ("The Merry Widow"), his James Apperson ("The Big Parade"), his Rudolph ("La Bohome") and to his spectacular work in "Bardele's the Magnificent," "Flesh and the Devil" and "The Show." However, John Gilbert in his recent studio work has exhibited a larger virtuosity in the gentle art of inspiring romance than any other idol of the time. The Gilbert hair, eyes, profile, smile and figure are equally fascinating in all his protean changes. A real surprise avails the Gilbertian, fan in "The Big Parade." His make-up is the "mud pack" of the trenches. All the disfigurements of "active service" are realized. Those who have seen the picture say that begrimed and dirty he is just as easy to look at—and just as compelling—as when dandified.

Douglass Theatre Phone Edg. 8012 IN THE REALM OF MUSIC By LUCIEN H. WHITE YOUNG PIANIST DISPLAYS UNUSUALLY DEVELOPED TECHNIC,WITH UNCURBED IMPETUOSITY OF TEMPO AND VOLUME M. Elizabeth Bennett, 19-year old daughter of an Episcopal minister of Philadelphia, came to New York last Sunday and played a program of music for the planoforie that assumed mammoth proportions: The recital was under management of A. Eugene Nixon, director of the Nixon Music School, and the artist was supported by the Philharmonic Club of mixed voices, composed of students of the school. Miss Bennett, according to such scant information as is available, did most of her studying of music at the Buffalo Conservatory of Music, her father having been rector of a church in that city for a number of years before moving to Philadelphia. Certainly she has developed an unusual technic, the most staggering pianistic difficulties being made, to all appearances, as simple to her as passages in grade one compositions. Her opening number was the Beethoven Sonata Pathetique, opus 13, with which was associated the Scarlatti-Tausig Pastorale. Her digital dexterity was evinced in the ease with which she accomplished the various divisions of the Sonata—the grave, the allegro di molto e con brio, the adagio cantabile, and the rondo. And at the same time the young pianist proved herself to be possessed of a physical strength not indicated by her apparent physical development. For she played not only with skill, but also with a tempestuous fervor that at times amounted almost to frenzy. It is doubtful if that particular Kranich & Bach piano has ever had to undergo such tremendous poundings. To this was added the constant habit of accelerating the tempo of her numbers, regardless of their difficulty, to a dizzy, dazzling speed that left the listeners-well night breathless in the fear that the music would overleap itself. But her fingers were equal to every demand put upon them, and the most intricate and complicated passages were clearly and explicitly enunciated. The second group was composed of the Schubert Menuette, opus 78, and two Chopin numbers, the Valse in C Sharp, Major, and the Nocturne in G Major. These were followed by an imprömptu, opus 28, by Rheinhold, Prelude in G Minor, by Rachmaninoff, Valise de Concert by Mokshowski; two List numbers, Liebestraum Nocturne, No. 3, and Second Hungarian Rhapsody; Danse' Rituelle du Feu (Fire Dance) by De Falla, and the finale Etude de Symphonique by Schumann. Miss Bennett has a charming naivete that makes a most attractive stage presence, to which is coupled a distinct and pleasing personality. What she appears to need most is a restraint of tempo and tone, and a more discreet use of the loud pedal. Her offerings are somewhat advanced for so youthful a musical intelligence but she justifies' her judgement by her ample technical development. The Philharmonic Club, directed by Mr. Nixon, sang several selections with good effect, but showing a lack of support from the basso section. The accompanists were Mme. E. S. Johnson, the Misses Olga Gordon, Ruth Fields and Hazel Taylor, and H. L. Gallway. Dr. W. R. Jones is the business manager. ELKINS DOES THE NEW THING BY THE PLACING OF HIS SINGERS AS INTEGRAL PART OF BIG BROADWAY PRODUCTION William C. Ellkins, whose ranking as a choral director of the first class has long since been established, is blazing the trail along a new line these days. He has placed his singers, the Ellkins Dextra Mixed Chorus, a group of twenty-five men and women, in the cast of Hammersstein's "Golden Dawn," now playing in the new $3,000,000 theatre erected at 53rd street and Broadway, and recently dedicated to the memory of Arthur Hammersstein's father, the late Oscar Hammersstein. And they are not in there singing special Negro music, or doing things which are incorporated in the score for their special showing. They are doing just what the other choristers are doing—singing the music of the score in harmony with the Nordic singers, from the same stage at the same time, to the music of the same orchestra, and under the baton of the same conductor, Herbert Stothart, one of the composers of the score. So far as the records show, this is the first time in New York's thespianistic history that a group of Negroes has been made an integral part of a big Broadway production, being amalgamated into the performing group without any regard to racial or color lines. As a matter of fact, in some of the scenes the colored group is the central one, with the other performers grouped around them. The outstanding feature of this development, to my mind, is the fact that when the opportunity offered, Mr. Elkins had a group of singers, many of whom had never put foot backstage in a theatre, trained and developed to the degree that they were able to do the work required and so could qualify for the task set before them. And this group of amateurs has amazed the experienced and wise folks of the theatre world. They have become one of the main reasons for the success which seems to be coming to Hammerstein's "Golden Dawn", where the lowest priced seats are $1.65, with a range that extends to $6.60 as the top. And negotiations are pending for radio broadcasting engagements and for the making of phonograph records that will mean a substantial increment. The members of the organization in the "Golden Dawn" aggregation are as follows: SOPRANOS—Geneva Grant, Geraldine Gooding, Rosena Weston, Inez Clough, Julia F. Mitchell, Maude White, Christine David and Alma Reynolds. CONTRALTOS—Mary Mason, Benvenetia Washington, Ruth Mason and Louise Turner. TENORS—Ferdinand J. Accooe, James A. Earle, William Walker, McKinley Reeves, Harold Desverney, Adolph M. Henderson and Robert Jackson. BASSOS—H. Webster Elkins, W. Service Bell, Amos Guerrant, Earl Wilson, James Guy, William McFarland. Mr. Elking coaches from behind the scenes, and directs the chorus in several numbers which are sung backstage. MUSIC NOTES William F. McDermott in the Cleveland Plain Dealer had some nice things to say in this column on December 2 concerning the thespianistic endeavors of the colored actor and actress, - and the recognition, being accorded the race by the most distinguished figures in the theatrical world. He refers to the players in "Lulu Bell" as produced by Belaosco; to "Durg" presented to New York audiences by the Theatre Guild, and to The Zelfeld's newest show Boat, in which a troupe in New York ingrédient. Writes: McDermott: "Thus our black-brethren are recognized with a respectful flourish by the dean of American producers, by the foremost of repertory companies, by the most celebrated of the girl show impressors." their new opportunities in the theater. They have the true mimetic sense. Imitation comes to them naturally. They have a rich and distinctive humor. Vibrant voices, voices attuned for tragedy, for stirring emotion, are more common among them than among Caucasians. "Rhythm is bored in them. I never saw a group of Negro steppers who didn't get a distinctive voice. That meticulous quality in their dancing. That meticulous quality in everybody's eyes—it cannot be duplicated by whites. Acting of any sort requires a certain emotional richness, a quick sensitivity to impressions. I imagine that people with these qualities are more numerous among Negroes than among the blonds, Nordic or other. "It would be pleasant sometime to see an English classic—say Shakespeare's "Hamlet"—performed by a cast of trained Negro actors. Cert-100. Such a performance would be more genuinely musical." and Shakespeare is nothing if not musical. Chauney, Northern tenor, who has been studying in Italy for the past year, has returned to New York.

Negro Spirituals Are Interpreted In Oil By Fisk Art Students Negro Spirituals Are Interpreted In Oil By Fisk Art Students Nashville, Tenn.—The art d- riment at Fisk University is to be represented at the Harmon Foundation art exhibition by numerous oil paintings, water colors and sculptures. The exhibition is to take place at the International House in New York City in January. The students, under direction of James A. Goodrich, have illustrated oil the spirit and tone of Negro Spirituals and slave songs. Miss Thoreau, T. Talley has interpreted in an oil painting the Spiritual: "Swing low, sweet charlie"; Miss Donalezik, Jefferson has illustrated "Couldn't Hear Nobody." Prairie" This movement is a decided innovation in schools-where art is taught. "Just as the Negar has made a definite and distinctive contribution to American music, so has he the opportunity to translate the soul of his music to painting and sculpture and receive the same artistic and spiritual results," said Professor Goodrich.

By PERCIVAL 'OUTRAM "Local 802 with the consent and approval of the National Executive Board of the American Federation of Musicians, pursuant to the directions of the Governing Board, has succeeded in arranging with the 'Union Labor Life' Insurance for group insurance for the benefit of which, members by reason of which, be employed from January 1, 1928, will have the benefit of $1,000 life insurance." This is the result of a printed query sent each member a few months ago on the subject of insurance. So many affirmative answers must have been received that their negotiations went ahead with their negotiations, with the result aforementioned. Of course, the dues have been increased from $8 to $20 per year to meet the $1,000 policy, which will be handed each member. On the member's death, the $1,000 will be paid to the person standing, or paid to any beneficiary he may have designated. The former death benefit of $200 given a member is eliminated. Apparently no option is left with a present member, and surely none with a prospective member. Your dues are allotted and covers the amount should object to paying $5 "quarterly in advance," to get union protection, and to have a $1,000 policy in the bargain, is not clear. But there, are some queer people in the world, especially 'among musicians, who care not for them; they die when they die their friends have taken around to get them decent burials. Some years back the writer recalls playing at a golf club on the outskirts of New York, at recess talking to another player who believed not in insurance, who concluded his remark by saying: "Besides, I'm single, no kids, why should I drive up when children do not move. I know you won." About two years after this conversation, this man met with a sudden and horrible death in a distant city. Wires—you know the result. "It is poisonous. It should be forbidden like cocaine and I am convinced forsighted governments will do something in this direction." "It is Pietro Mascagni speaking I jaze, as indicated by foreign diplomat Mascagni who wrote the "Immortal 'Cavalleria' Rusticana and who wears the mantle of Verdi and Puccini." "I music does not change, it is always the divinely invention and creation of melody," states the maestro, and continues: "There are large numbers of men who think a little culture, a little technical, is enough to help them for composition. They write music of the mind Cerebral music, I think they call it. They talk of music's return to instrumentality, and condemn the lyrical theatre. 'All this' is 'monsense, merely a blind to disguise their lack of divine gift. Then the world is tired of its mud benthic jaws in similar monstrous perversions of the noblest of the arts, then we shall again have music." York, S. C. York, S. C—Mrs. John Need Thompson, F.

For Full Particulars Write To Dora Hobb's Manufacturing Co. 224 West 141st Street New York City ervice ote of This ess Institution COLLEGE The first reaction from the first Negro Labor Conference, which was held in this city on Friday, December 2, has been heard...It is to the effect that insofar as Pullman porters are concerned, the leaders of the conference sounded a premature and altogether imprudent alarm in mentioning strike at this agenda...This reaction comes in the nature of comments which have been gleaned from Pullman workers, who have a fairly intelligent idea of the Pullman service, and how it would be affected in the event there were an attempted strike among the porters. Even among those porters who are furtively interested in the activities for better wages and working conditions, there was sensed a disposition to deprecate the strike talk. To be sure, the "walk-out" announcement was predicated upon the suppositional "if", still the assertion has come in for considerable unfavorable comment. And this comment doesn't come wholly from those who are opposed to the activities of outsiders in their industrial relations. As an instance of this, one porter, who is known to be identified with the porters' movement, was humorously told that it was likely that he would be called upon to go on strike. "For, what?"; he asked. "For better wages and working conditions," he was told. "Yes," said he, "not much; they don't get those things that-a-way these days; they arbitrate." "But suppose your employer won't arbitrate the matter" he was asked. "In that case, then, they'll have to study-up another way; but not the strike route for me". Another porter, likewise a member, but more sophisticated than the one quoted above, when asked his opinion, replied, that he didn't think it sensible to express his views on a subject which was as far fetched as this one, nor did he think it fair to criticize any man, or group of men, whose activities were, apparently, in his behalf. Nevertheless, he did feel, he said, that the walk-out talk was indiscreet at this time. Other known members were approached on the subject, but these refused to make any comments. From their attitude, however, it was obvious that while they didn't approve of the publicity given to what the leaders of the movement had in mind, in the event their activities for recognition failed, they would not injudge in any criticism of them, although it was not difficult to understand the reason for this repression. On the other hand, those employees not connected with the movement were outspoken in their denunciation of the strike talk. They had no compunction against expressing their opinions. One of these, who is well-known for his unison opposition, laughed when the matter was brought up. "How can these leaders," said he, "mention the probability of a porters' strike when the porters are not even functioning as yet as an organization." "Tis true the organizers claim that they have 75 or 80 per cent of the porters, but even though they did have that many, that percentage would not be a sufficient nucleus for a walk-out. Furthermore, it is foolish for anyone to think that all the porters who are enrolled on the membership of the organization would obey an order to strike. "Why," continued he, "most of the porters connected with this outside movement are old men in the service. Not only are they veterans in the Pullman service, but they are veterans in age. Many of them are so old that it would be a difficult matter for them to find other employment at any sort of work. Then, too, they say that funds are to be raised, so that in the event a crisis is reached the strikers will be taken care of." "Taken care of, I should say! What a prospect!" he added, with a grimace that would do justice to Charlie Chaplin "Why, these fellows couldn't raise enough money in ten years to take care of one hundred of these old porters in half the manner in which they are accustomed to live. But, seriously, if such a thing as a strike were to happen among the porters, the company, I am inclined to believe, would welcome it. For the company would save money in free uniforms and pension. It is silly to believe that a porter's walk-out would tie up the running of Pullman cars", concluded the veteran. An offerer person to register his disapproval of the "walk-out" talk, when the subject was broached, was a Negro official of the Pullman service. Said he: "That was bad stuff. Such an eventually is not likely to happen of course, just the same, it was a piece of indescretion on the part of the conferences at the Negro Labor Conference to go on record as fostering such an idea as a strike among Pullman porters. No well thinking Negro can consistently capture the efforts of the members at that meeting to improve the economic conditioning among the workers of our race. So far as striving for racial betterment goes, these leaders are to be commended, not criticized. But there is one great trouble from which most of our erudite leaders suffer—the will not be practical. There are no further comments that I wish to make on the subject." When the matter of what would happen if the porters went on a walk-out was brought to the attention of a Negro official connected with one of the Pullman employment bureaus in this vicinity, he said: "If a walk-out were to be staged among the porters, there would be such a walking in by members of their own race to take their places, that it would make a Times Square subway rush look like a wedding march in comparison. If you don't believe this, pay a visit to our office some day." From these various comments, it is possible to form the conjecture that a strike of Pullman porters would not, be the most felicitous thing for these employees. However, to quote the words of an old porters, "It is to be hoped that such a situation will not become necessary." "For what?" he asked. "For better wages and working "Yes," said he, "not much; they these days; they arbitrate." "But suppose your employer we asked. "In that case, then, they'll have the strike route for me." Another porter, likewise a me the one quoted above, when asked think it sensible to express his vie fetched as this one, nor did he the group of men, whose activities were theless, he did feel, he said, that the time.

However, to It is to be hoped that such a silu Picked Up Here And There A LOVABLE CHARACTER She was a lovable character, indeed—is the simplest but most direct eulogy that the friends of the late Ada K. Patterson, wife of William ("Dilly") Patterson, veteran Pullman employee and well known man about town, can pay her memory. The deceased was not only a lovely person, she was a rare one. She was one of those uncommon characters that you only needed to meet once to know. And that first impression was always the correct one; that is, it was an impression that you always retained. Nothing demonstrated this more than the deluge of obliteration tokens that surrounded her bier, as it lay in the William C.

Congregational Church in West 139th street, and the flood of conglobational messages that came to the bereaved husband and family. The death of Mrs. Patterson, which occurred on Sunday, December 4, was not entirely unexpected by her family and her close friends, for she had been in ill health for the past year. And while her passing was not a surprise, it left a void of immense dimensions both in the home she once graced and the social circle in which she once moved. In her home, she was one of those domestic queens that could still no matter how great the protection for anger. And one of the greatest eulogies that one friend could pay the memory of another friend's wife, was uttered by a friend of the deceased's husband. Said he: "The late Mrs. Patterson was one of those rare and remarkable wives who always kept her feelings in subjection whenever company was around. No matter how provoked she might have felt at times with her husband, which is a common trait of all husbands to aggravate their wives, or at least to make them think they are aggravated, she never portrayed her feelings in the presence of a Gurd person. Whatever suit, he to say to her husband was always reserved for his cars alone." Beside being an unusual housewife, the late Mrs. Patterson was a favorite in the social clubs with which she was identified. Among the most prominent of these was the Chicago Club, an exclusive coterie of ladies who formerly lived in the City of Chicago. The deceased was buried in Woodlawn, Cemetery on Friday, December 9. Friends who took conspicuous parts at the church services, and later at the interment, were life long acquaintances of the family ESTABLISHED 25 YEARS 19 Préfectur St. Jersey City, H. J.

COMMUNITY COUNCIL NOTES At the meeting in the Aldermanche Chamber on Tuesday evening of the City Parliament of Community Councils, a large delegation from Colonial Community Council attended. The following resolutions were placed before the meeting by these representatives. Resolution 1—Resolved, That P. S. 90, Manhattan, shall be opened Thursday and Friday evenings of each week with paid supervision and paid custodial service. Resolution 2—Resolved, That the Athletic Center in P. S. 90, Manhattan he opened five afternoons a week from 3 to 5 p. m. and Saturdays from 9 to 5. Resolution 3—Resolved. That the Colonial Community Councils of the city of New York what has become of the $2,000 raised last year in May to give to P. S. 90, Manhattan, extended service in the afternoon recreational activities. Since the Public School Athletic League, which has charge of this activity, professes to know nothing in regard to what has become of this fund, we ask the Community Council to please find out for us what has become of the money and why the activity for which it was raised is not now going on. We recommend that this money either be made available and used at once for proper purpose, or that it be returned to givers with an explanation of why it has not been used for the purpose for which it was raised. Mrs. Strauss gave a very interesting lecture to the Community Councils. Attendance on Winter Days A large number of mothers, particularly mothers of small children, do not seem to realize that children should attend school throughout the winter. Whether the day is wet or rainy or showy makes no difference. If the child had a position, no mother would think of keeping her child home, because it would involve probably the loss of money, and very likely the loss of position, especially if repeated absence occurred. More lack of promotion in schools is caused by irregular attendance than by any other one cause. The sacrifice necessary to make each child's attendance perfect is one that always has wonderful results. Winter Colds When your child is suffering with a cold, please give attention to it in the very beginning. Sometimes a physics given when the child seems a little bit feverish will bring a cold'd down. If the The Guidance Parents Can Do By GERTRUDE E. McDOUGALD In 1918, just after the Armistice was signed, work was more plentiful and varied for colored people in New York City than it was has been since that time. The employment burdens, both public and private, were cluttered with jobs. The situation, happy as it seemed to the worker, had, nevertheless, a glory aspect shadowing from the past and clouding the future. The opportunities longed for by Negroes had come, but for by Negroes, had come. But, most were not prepared either by education, training or experience to take advantage. Job after job went begging, while anxious and well-intentioned applicants revealed to the placement worker that good emotions were all they had to offer. Many were so totally uninformed that they were puzzled and hurt when their statement — "I can do any kind of work" — did not result in their being sent out with the covered assignment slip. The thought that something should be done to catch workers while they are children and have no thrown away precious years, could not help but be ever present in the minds of those with the above office experience. Though like these turned toward the agencies equipped to take up this important work, one does not hope for more wars in order that an abundance of opportunity may recur, but rather, that the steady improvement if the economic stat- A New York Academy of Business 447 LENOX AVENUE New York City cold persists in spite of this, attention should be given to it and a doctor should be consulted. In schools where health regulations are carefully observed, all children who have the slightest appearance of suffering with colds are sent to the school nurse, who determines whether or not it is safe to have these children associate with other children, and who thoroughly advises mothers as treatment of the cold. In olden times, people used to think that a cold did not matter and it was left to cure itself. We know today that repeated colds weaken the system and that sometimes heart and lung troubles in later life may be definitely traced to colds among children. Therefore, it behooves every mother to be as careful as possible in preventing colds from making progress with her children. Super-Maximum Salary of Teachers. An order has just gone forth from the office of City Superintendent of Schools William J. O'Shea for each teacher who is now receiving her maximum salary, or who will reach the maximum in 1928, to fill out a form provided in her respective school for the purpose of computing the supermaximum salaries to be granted as of January 1st. Next week, each district superintendent will visit each school in his district. The school will be definitely notified before, as to the date, of his visit. Each teacher* is supposed to have with her... L Diploma of graduation; 2. Certificate of appointment, which indicates years of service; 3. Certificate of courses taken in addition to graduation which were actually taken and determined by examination; 4. Each teacher should also obtain from any principal under whom she did extra-curricular service, rendered without pay, a statement that this service is actually rendered under the supervision of the principal. While the exact features in determining those who are to receive maximum and super-maximum salaries have not yet been set forth, nevertheless, it is necessary that the above work be carefully attended to by each teacher now or her maximum salary and each teacher who will receive her maximum salary in 1928 or 1929. The reason for this is the necessity of finding out the exact cost of salaries for next year. Unless the teachers carefully intend to doing this accurately, it will be impossible to start the new salary schedule as of January 1st. us of the Negro may be accompanied By constructive systematic progress in the matter of being prepared for good fortune when it comes. Such a constructive program leads us directly to the school and the home. Partly as a result of the general awareness coming after the war, the schools of the city redoubled their efforts in guidance. It will be necessary to touch upon what is being accomplished there, but the main interest, in these articles, will-center around what the parent can do in the home and in co-operation with the school. And there is much that the parent can do. In the last analysis the financial burden, the daily care, and the ultimate joy in fearing a successful, happy man or woman, comes back to the parent. In spite of this fact, there is an increasing tendency on the part of the busy, harassed parent to deposit the responsibility more and more upon the school or any other social agency. An agency can plan, suggest and even help by giving financial assistance, but no agency can or should make the vital decisions which affect the family. This is for the parent to do. This matter, when of making decision, for and with the children is so fundamental that we will stop for a moment and consider what it means.

Department B 200 West 135th Street, Room 221 New York, N. Y. Hookkeeping academy of Business LENOX AVENUE New York City Preparatory that there is a large number of people who go through life trying, to avoid making decisions. So many are, there of this sort and so human is the trait that it is epilogized in the popular phrases, "I should worry" and "Let George do it." Others make, decisions after putting off for a long time and can trace to this fault the loss of much life. Some, make judgments which are so poor that disastrous results follow. This is usually because the facts are not hit, hand or are ill-considered. And, lastly, the snap judgments of others, come from not considering at all. Now, where these errors in thinking affect only the individual making them, the tragedy is limited to the proper person. But most of the people who think in the 'above modes' become parents and spread the consequences to the children. And with this situation we are concerned in these paners. Fortunately, parenthood awakens the deeper moral possibilities and stimulates the otherwise hegedges person to take serious stock of himself. Most parents determine to exert all their energies for the good of their children. They welcome pointers to show them the way. For such, these suggestions will be offered. It is planned to discuss both the place that ability, background and experience, attitude and moral sense play in successful guidance as well as the opportunities offered in the various voctions and the educational facilities which the city offers to bring about correct development of the child. This knowledge is of prime importance to every parent who is preparing to make important decisions for his child when the time arrives.

Williams at the southeast corner of 128th street and Seventh avenue. During his five years previous experience in Harlem, Dr. Williams watched the opening of a number of drug stores, and from his observation of these stores, he evolved an idea of what he would like a store of his own to look like. This ideal store contained one or more features from each of the other stores, he had seen and his present, business embodies all these ideas. He has an exceptionally large soda countin, with all modern appliances, which sells 'Breyers' ice cream and light lunches. The puttest drugs are used and only standard brand commodities are sold. The store is exceptionally well lighted and the fixtures are trimmed in walnut. The store has been opened two months and is doing a splendid business.
