New York Doctors Discuss Locke's Population Figures, Predicating 500,000 Increase Yearly For Race Former Rhodes Scholar's Statement Received With Respect, Some Willing To Accept His Findings, Others Think Figures Too High Widespread comment has been heard in New York since the publication in the metropolitan press last week of a statement from Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, the only Negro to attend Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar from America, in which it was reported that the Negro population is increasing at the rate of 500,000 per year. "My dear Mr. Moore—I am writing to congratulate you and the City of New York on your recent election of which I have just read. The city needs men like you in high places. Your well known probity, courage, intelligence and industry combine to make you the ideal man for the place. You are no one-race man, but you are the champion of all oppressed classes. The article referred to was as follows: Colored Race To Grow 500,000 A Year in U. S. "Chicago, December 10. Five million may be added to the colored population of the United States every ten years based upon the present birthrate and subtracting the present death rate according to figures compiled by Alain Levy Locke, professor of philosophy and sociology at Howard University, Washington, D.C. Dr. William H Walsn, executive secretary of the American Hospital Association, gave out the figures in connection with a campaign for Negro hospital development. The most unsatisfactory situation in the whole medical problem confronting the colored population today is that relating to hospitals and the situation is acute in the South as it is in the North, he quotes Dr. Carl G. Roberts, president of the National Negro Medical Association as announcing." Think Rate Is High. The general tone of comments made by laymen was to the effect that this rate of increase was exceptionally high. They pointed out that it took 60 years for the Negro population to grow to 10,000,000 but at the present rate of increase, if the above figures are correct, there will be an additional 10,000,000 added to the population of the country in 20 years. A number of physicians were interviewed and the great majority would not comment on the published statement. Dr. E. P. Roberts, one of Harlem's oldest practitioners, a former member of the New York City Board of Education, and now a trustee of Lincoln University and president of the General Alumni Association, said that he thought Dr. Locke had been misquoted by the newspapers. So thorough and careful a scholar as Dr. Locke, said Dr. Roberts, would not give out a statement of this kind unless it was correct. The birth-rate in the United States as a whole is declining and as the Negro moves to the city, economic pressure compels him to keep his family smaller, concluded Dr. Roberts. Says Babies Are Healthier. Dr. P. M. H. Savory, vice president and medical examiner for the Victory Life Insurance Company and a prominent Harlem practitioner, did not consider the figures exaggerated. Said he, so much has been published in the white press about the Negro race dying out, it is gratifying to me to see that if it is finally being realized that the Negro in this country is about as healthy and increasing as rapidly as the other racial groups. Dr. Savory says he does not believe the younger generation is going to the dogs. The school children of today will be healthier than their parents because they are being taught health education in the public schools and while they may not have as many children as their parents had, the babies born in the years to come will not die nearly so fast as they have been doing in the past, he concluded. Dr. Omah H. Price of West 128th street near Seventh avenue, agrees with Dr. Locke although he had no statistics on the subject. But because of Dr. Lorke's splendid attainments, he did not believe that such a statement would have been made public by him unless it had been carefully checked. The New York Age 133rd street, another of the younger Harlem physicians, also said that he did not believe Dr. Locke would have allowed such a statement to be published under his name unless it had been proved correct, Dr. Davis added that statistics was the subject he was least interested in.

Clarence Darrow Is West Of Honor At Tea In Harlem On Sunday About two hundred professional speeches and members of the N. A. A. P., attended a tea Sunday afternoon, December 18, at the Water Studio, 108 West 136th street, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Clance Darrow of Chicago. Mr. Darrow is in New York defending two Italianes accused of murder. The reception in his honor was under auspices of the Committee of 100 of the N. A. A. C. P., and those who attended came by invitation only. Mr. Darrow spoke on the problems of the Negro, emphasizing the opinion that the Negro took his region too seriously and put too much money in church buildings. He also said that the growing independence of the Negroes of this country was causing white philanthropy to feel that it is now time that the prosperous members of the race carry the burden of Negro education and charities. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., gave a reading from his latest book, "God's Trombone" and musical sections were rendered by Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, con- Woman 116 Years Old Is Burned In Cabin Montgomery, Ala.—When her cabine located on the Selma, highway jersey beyond the M. and O. Railroad crossing in Montgomery County, was burned down, Silla Tyson, 11 years of age, the oldest resident of the county, could not be found. Neighbors called on Coroner I. J. Fultz, who investigated the debris of the burned structure and in the mutil of the ruins he found a charrterosso which was identified as that of the missing woman. The body was brought to Montgomery and buried. A mule, tired in a shed in rear of the cabin, was also burned to death. Newark, N. J.—The operations of confidence men in the metropolitan district in their machinations toward muting the unwary of their hearedearned cash was revealed in a new manner this week in Judge Howe's Traffic Court, when James Rooney, a colored man who had been charged with driving an automobile without a license, was arraigned. When Judge Howe asked if he had a license to drive, Rooney stepped up and handed the Judge a blue card, on which was inscribed: "THE BEARER IS HEREBY ENTITLED TO DRIVE FROM THE BACK SEAT DURING 1927. (Signed) I. WORRYEM. Commissioner of Byways. The Judge was taken aback, then he sat up interestingly and asked: "Where did you get this?" "I took an examination for it and passed. The inspectors—two colored gentlemen—drove me around the block three times and asked me some questions. Then I gave them $3 and they gave me the license." "Can you read? asked the court. "No sir," answered Rooney. Then Judge Howe suspended sentence, but advised Rooney not to depend on his card. Samuel Jones, 37, of 43 Fleet place, Brooklyn, walked out a free man from the Homicide Court, Monday, December 19, freed of being responsible for the deaths last week after a party in which poison liquor was alleged to have been taken. Four persons are known to have died and several more are ill. A medical examiner disproved the charge that the deaths were due to poison liquor saying that carbon monoxide gas poisoning was the real cause. Rufus L. Perry, 375 Fulton street, Brooklyn, was attorney for the defendant.

This is the way it was done. The men attended spiritualist meetings and noted the other attendants. At one of the seances they saw a rather dull looking individual, and paid particular attention to him. They went over and made his acquaintance and that evening told him of their novel way in which he could communicate with his dead mother. The unsuspecting man who had come to the seance with the sole purpose of communicating with his mother, took the men to his house after he had purchased a couple of fresh eggs and a pan at their direction. They gave him directions and told him to place the eggs in the pan of water. One of the men took an envelope and placed a piece of letter paper in it and sealed it and set that in the water too. They left telling the man to sleep with the pan under his bed saying that in the morning he would have a letter from his mother. (The con man had already written the letter with an invisible ink which would only be seen when placed in water). Leading Victim On When the man awoke the next morning he found the letter which he thought was a letter written by his mother in the spirit world. The letter told the man that if he followed the instructions of two men who would come to him, then he would make a great deal of money. The man being a great believer in the wonders of the spirit world decided to follow out the instructions in the letter. When the two, con men came that day, they told him of a money mating scheme they had. They told him, they could find out the policy number a day in advance. The man played a small sum though the con men and won. The day after that he went to the bank and drew out $5,000, all his savings, and decided to play that on the numbers, since his new friends knew a day in advance what the number would be. He turned over the money on the con men and is still waiting for them to show us. The Envelope Game. Another great scheme, she designs the flowers, flowers and Crackle, that is very long swoling.

Prelate Decries Douglass, Washington and DuBois Tenets Chicago, Ill.—Bishop Reverdy C. Ramson of Nashville, Tennessee, distinguished prelate of the A. M. E. Church, made a sensational speech here at the Metropolitan Community Church, where he appeared under auspices of the Umbrian Glee Club. The bishop came to the defense of Marcus Garvey, naming the President-General of the U. N. I. A, as a mighty prophet. And he declared further that "As a prophet Mr. Garvey has been true to form by meeting the age-long rewards of a prophet—he has been stoned, he has been imprisoned, and now he has been banished." Bishop Raisism said that Garvey had proclaimed solidarity of black people throughout the world, urging the unifying of resources of the entire race and applying this power to redemption and cultivation of Africa. The Negro has the power the Negro has of blind allegiance to the Republican party, declared the bishop; "he accepts the Booker T. Washington plan of industrial development but not of political effacement; he appreciates the justice of DuBois' denunciations but refuses to fight with weapons that only inflame our oppressors; but Garvey has made articulate the heart throbs and aspirations of black folk everywhere." Norma Talmadge's Latest Picture At The Roosevelt A gorgeous pageant of the airs of all ages is one of the most spectacular scenes in Norma 'Talm- dage' screens version of 'Camille', her latest feature, which comes to the Roosevelt Theatre, beginning Saturday for a run of three days. For the pageant sequence, Miss Talmadge and her director, Fred Nible, assembled a group of the most beautiful girls in Hollywood. From this group the most striking types were selected and each of these was attired to represent some of the notable heartbreakers of the various periods in history, including Cleopatra, Du Barry, Sanguy. In the adaptation of the younger Alexandre Dumas' "Camelot" to the screen, the classic, has been given a modern setting. Miss Talmadge portraying the exotic French heroine as she might appear in Paris today. The leading modistes of Paris and American style centers were called upon in the preparation of Miss Talmadge's wardrobe and the counting of featured players in support of her was carried out lavishly. In the times, similarly, nothing has been left undone that would add to the magnificence of the production. "Carlie" *produced by Joseph M. Schenck for First National, marks the achievement of a lifelong athlete for the start of the Carlie's "Lady of Norma" is the one role Norma has wanted to play more than any other.

Tawny-hair. "Gyp," a splendid collie, who for fourteen years was the pal and pet of the whole Fred R. Moore family, from the dignified head down to the last toddling grandchild, is back at home after an unexplained 4-months absence, and his return, was the scene of a rejoicing that fitted in finely with the 'glorious Christmas season.' Many and weary have been the hours spent in search of the missing "Gyp," who disappeared from his home at 228 West 135th street, when the city was drenched with heavy hail. Day and night, various members of the family, male and female, have trudged through Harlem: streets, and avenues, hoping against hope that at some turn or other the familiar and loved form would be seen. But disappointment followed upon disappointment, and finally the whole family came to the definite conclusion that he had left off this mortal coll and joined off of his canine brethren who were entitled to dog heavenly joys. "Gyp", Is Seen." Imagine, then, the excitement that prevailed - Tuesday morning, December 20, when faithful Helen, who had mirred all the Moore children, and who had included "Gym" in her ministrations from the earliest days of his childhood, changed to plunge out of the dining room window to see "Gym" modifid by held in leash by a stranger, but looking well-knot and well-fed, with a comfortable and slosky coat of hair. "Gym?" she cried, and all the family paid instant and excited heed. "Where?" came the clamorous chorus. "He has just, pleased here, led by a white man going toward 8th avenue," was the answer. Ida May To The Rescue. And then Ida, May, more formally known as Mrs. Christopher J. Dudley, who happened to be in the room at the time, grabbed somebody's wrap and rushed headlong to the street. The man and dog were seen in the distance, and so Ida May sped toward them, past the 10th Precinct station house, overaking her quarry just by a large garage, in front which former Assemblyman Pope Billops said in his car, Mr. Billops, by the way, lives just across the street from the Moore's, and he, too, had recognized "Gyp" and before Mrs. Dudley could say anything, Mr. Billops was asking the man as to where he had gotten the dog. Then came Mrs. Dudley, who stopped and examined the animal more closely, to make identification. Quickly, she was satisfied. This is our dog. Where did you get him? The man answered with a shrug of the shoulders. In the meantime, men from the garage had noticed the incident, and out they came, surrounding the group. "Gyp" Holds Reception. Ida May went on: "He is our dog, and I can identify him by scans from an operation on his foot. Come here, Gyp." And "Gyp" sprang joyously in recognition of a beloved friend, raising itself on his hind feet, pawing and clamoring for an accustomed petting. Then one of the garage men spoke up: "Certainly, that is her dog. How long have you had him?" The man replied weekly that he had only had him about two months. "Well, you let the lady have the dog and then you heat it! Hear?" The man heard and followed the advice given him. In a meantime, Ida May had disengaged him, laid him and handed it to the man, telling him to come on to the house, at 228 and get the rest of the harness with which "Giv" was encased. "He has not called for it." But "Gyp" has been holding a continuous reception ever since, with the whole family and all of the friends joining in the festivities. York, S. C. York, S.

Laffon during the trial of Nathan Bard and Bunyan Fleming two Negroes charged with assault on 0 white girl. While Bard and Fleming were being tried, the Louisville News published a story concerning it, in which the expression, "Legal lynching coming," was used. The characterization was bitterly resented by Judge Lafton, and the court machinery, was immediately set in motion to punish the editors. The prosecutor tried first to indict the two Negro newspaper men under a statute which provided a maximum of 21 years imprisonment, but found this law had been repealed. So the charge was made one of libel, and on conviction Warley and Cole were fined $250 each. They appealed this conviction and sentence, but the State Court of Appeals unheld the conviction in a decision handed down on December 16. Bard and Fleming were convicted on the evidence given by another Negro who turned state's evidence, and were hanged recently at Madisonville, Ky., after their appeal had been taken to the United States Supreme Court and there denied.

A attempt on part of a quartet Young colored men said to have been headed by one Emanuel bollard of Williamston, seat of Williams College, and an adjective town to them was "prejudice" they designated as a "aon-Segregation" dance, met to distinct disapproval, and was a normal failure. The Negro balles at beaux of North Adams and adam towns drew the line most against such an accentuation of social differences, and, to further express their attitude, went particularly en masse to Pittsfield when another dance was being given under ordinary conditions. The Williamston proters met Thursday night. December 15, for their affair, engaging North Adams' most elite hall a place and hiring the aristocratic Williams-College Orchestra to dispense the synaptic race. But according to well-identified reports, there were the eleven paid admissions, including both races, to enjoy the event. Old Residents Disappear. Old residents were crowded in dismoval of the affair. There is little evidence of race prejudices in public places and New families who have lived in this section of New England in many years say that there between the minimum race of race and the maximum race of people come without thought of color and they can see no good. So result from empathies being placed upon such matters. The promotion quartet of young men it is said are recruited from the South, and are thought to have been badly advised from their conceived to the "non-servation" party idea. In the max of conjecture concerning the third there is evidence allied to creepery between the young men of Wiltshire and North Adams may be had something to do with the development, such conditions usually assuming an importance entirely out of proportion to their value. Racial Freedom Obtain But North Adams, Williamston, Pittsfield, and other town of this vicinity, are situate in a literary environment, filled with the racial freedom and tolerance with characterize Massachusetts, the older and more substantial citizens have no desire to see disturbing influences into the local atmosphere. The promoters of the 'an-segregation' affair in North Adams are said to have lost heavily in their venture, and that the will hardly try another affair of the same character.

Tunkeyes, Institute, Ala., Informing and interesting is the twenty-first page pamphlet recently published by the National Negro Business League outlining the League's new program for greater service. The pamphlet presents the history, organization, objects and achievements of the League. "The National Negro Business League was founded," the booklet states, "in 1900 by the late Booker T. Washington in cooperation with other business leaders of the country. It's purpose was to promote the commercial advancement of the Negro and to lead the race to a position of influence in American life through economic independence. Since its founding there has been no swerving from original ideals but the changing status of the Negro has necessitated changes in method and a continually expanding service to meet new conditions." Cleveland Program The program adopted at the Cleveland meeting in 1926 provides for: First, a national organizer to travel, organize local leagues and strengthen leagues already organized; second, an annual campaign to nationalize and popularize National Negro Trade Week to the end that Negro business may be sold to the Negro- and America third, the maintenance of an information and exchange bureau; fourth, the publication of a monthly bulletin; and fifth, a nationwide survey of Negro business. The pamphlet contains valuable information concerning the League in a concise form. Copies may be secured without charge from A. L.

International Debate Attracts Throng To Mother Zion Church Lincoln University Debaters Win Popular Decision Nearly twenty-five hundred persons packed Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor, on Wednesday evening, December 14, to hear the first inter-racial international and inter-collegiate debate ever held in Harlem. The contestants were a team representing Lincoln University of Chester County, Pa., and a team representing the National Students' League of England, whose representatives came from the Universities of London, Reading and Edinburg. The subject for debate was "Resolved that the attitude of the Anglo-Saxon race toward the colored races under its control is unethical and prejudicial to progress." The English team upheld the negative, and, in keeping with English custom, the debate was not judged. Pointin- to the conditions of native races in India, South Africa and China, the Lincoln University debaters attacked the Anglo-Saxon method of exploiting the darker races, sometimes under the guise of religion, and urged that the natives be given equal opportunity with the exploiters. of Britons were not in favor of perilistic policies. But they also argued that native races never would have reached their present development without Anglo-Saxon cooperation. They urged that South Africa be left out of the discussion, as its governments were mainly in the hands of descendants of its Dutch settlers, and pointing to British attempts to introduce modern sanitation, housing, and education on the West Coast of Africa. If Great Britain withdrew from India, conditions a little better bad, would be much worse, they argued. Both teams were generously applauded but the Lincoln boys won the popular decision if the greater amount of applause is any judge. Dr. Leo Fitz Neason, president of the Linlitho-colin - Alumni Association of New York presided. There were a number of prominent persons of both races in the audience, including President William Hallock Johnson of Lincoln. Prizes Offered For Race Relations Essays The Commission on Interracial Cooperation, with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga., announces the offer of three cash prizes of $100, $65, and $15 respectively for the best papers on the subject of race relations submitted by students of South colleges during the present school year. According to the annual event, contestants will be free to choose any phase of the subject, but other things being equal, preference will be given to practical discussions for their improvement.

As to the certain whites cannot meet the requirement in that is another device to limit the number of voters to those included in oligarchy. When disfranchise is so simple a matter, it can be against whites as well as blacks. Mr. Milton's goes further and re-that he has discovered a "new ern attitude" toward the Negro, in letters from leaders in several His own attitude is stated as any Southerners like myself favor a great successor of the franchise by the Negro about the South, believing that he would greater asset if he were trained for political and economic equality with the North. But I confess freely that the voting in cities which have come under my objection, maintaining corrupt and unfit men in it, there are hopeful features in this situation. Intelligent and educated Negroes, show increasing tendency to revolt against cast their ballots in block at the binding of a political machine. As Negro educationases, as his economic condition improves, Negro will undoubtedly show a greater tendency to pay his own poll tax, qualify under law, make up his own mind on political issues and cast his vote. The next generation inevitably see a great change in the condition of Negro suffrage in the South. In this tentative attitude on the if a thinking white Southerner does manage any immediate or violent in present conditions, it is indulged in a more logical comprehension. of the effects of disfranchisement in its wider bearing on the community and the nation. Out of such a discussion, with a recognition of the harmful effect of the debarring of a large portion of the population from a voice in government, we may expect some good results. Republican institutions cannot survive the continued suppression of a free ballot and a fair count. CHURCH AID TO EDUCATION In this era of modern thought and progress, when ancient institutions are tested by the actual work they are doing for the general welfare, it is refreshing to find a generous note of commendation of the church, as a factor in the educational advancement of the race, in a recent press communication, Dr. J. H. Dillard, president of the Slater and Jeanes Funds, said: The record of the contributions made by the Negroes of the South toward their college is a roll of honor which deserves admiration. It may be that all of these institutions which have been established by the various denominations have not reached the grade of standard colleges, but some of them are aiming to become such, all of them are doing valuable service in the education of the people. One of the good services is that they are among the sources of supply depended upon by State officials for teachers in the public schools.

It may be that all of these institutions which have been established by the various denominations have not reached the grade of standard colleges, but some of them are aiming to become such, and all of them are being valuable in the education of the people. One of their good services is that they are among the sources of supply depended upon by State officials for teachers in the public schools. Taking, for example, two colleges of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Allen of Columbia, S. C., and Morris-Brown at Atlanta, Ga., we find that the Negroes of this denomination contributed $88,749 to the support of these two institutions for the session 1926-1927. I have mentioned these two because the definite figures are before me. Very similar stories could be told of other institutions of this denomination, and of the institutions of other Methodist denominations, and of the Baptist. These contributions are a sign not only of advanced economic conditions, but of determination and sacrifice. Coming from an educator of Dr. Dilard's high standing and long experience, with a thorough acquaintance with our racial institutions of learning, this commendation is to be taken at its full value. The Age has had frequent occasion in the past to note the large measure of social support of education, shown in the establishment and maintenance of the rural school system in many of the southern States. Though the wise and generous help of the Rosenwald fund,ided by certain apportionment of county taxes many of these country communities have done more than their share to keep these schools going. That this same spirit has extended toward the secondary church schools is shown in the work of the various denominations. The church does well to encourage and direct such a spirit of self-help in the right direction. The recognition of the value of this work by the head of the Slater and Jeanes Fund should stimulate its progress.

EDITORS AND THE COURTS: The Kentucky State Court of Appeals, according to, the Associated Press, sustained the conviction of the two Louisville editors, who were charged with labeling the judge who presided at the trial of Nathan Bard and Bunyan Fleming. This was the case where two Negroes were accused of assaulting a white The Kentucky State Court of Appeals, according to the Associated Press, sustained the conviction of the two Louisville editors, who were charged with libeling the judge who presided at the trial of Nathan Bard and Bunyan Fleming. This was the case where two Negroes were accused of assaulting a white girl and their trial was hurriedly proceeded with under the menace of lynching by a mob, so that the practical result was determined in advance of the submission of evidence or the verdict of the jury. So glaring was the absence of any real judicial inquiry into the facts and so open was the intimidation of the jury, that the Louisville News, a Negro weekly, edited by William Warley and L. Willis Cole, referred to the case as "legal lynching." For this and other expressions, as to the lack of anything like a real trial, the editors were prosecuted and convicted of libeling Judge Ruby Laffoon, who heard the case. A fine of two hundred and fifty dollars was imposed upon each of them, from which they appealed. At first it was sought to have them indicted for contempt, under a statute which provided a maximum penalty of twenty-one years in prison, when it was found that this law had been repealed. Bard and Fleming recently lost their appeal to the United States Supreme Court and were duly executed, despite the summary nature of their trial. This prosecution of the Louisville editors is in the nature of an effort to silence and intimidate the Negro press from protesting against what may fitly be designated as judicial lynchings. A similar trial of an accused Negro took place in North Carolina recently, in the same kind of hostile atmosphere. An infuriated mob at Goldsboro surrounded the court room and was only prevented from seizing the prisoner by the determination of the sheriff and his guards, the judge himself conducting court with pistol in hand. But the Greensboro Daily Times, while commending the resolute attitude of the authorities in protecting the prisoner against mob violence, insisted that such a critical situation need not have happened at all. It said: While swiftness in punishment is highly desirable, it is much more desirable to have a fair trial, as far removed as possible, from an infuriated populace. Everybody knows that a trial is not possible under circumstances like this: in this case it is believed the Negro got his justice. But there had been doubt as to his identity the would have been the same. In the atmosphere of the Goldbord court room, or in any other court room in North Carolina under similar circumstances, only one verdict is possible, only one will be accepted. This is the same situation that the Louisville editors tried to point out and protest against, and for which temerity they were fined for libel. If there is any consistency in the law, we might expect to hear of the editors of the Greensboro daily being fined or even sentenced to serve a jail term for their sane and reasonable protest against judicial proceedings being prostituted to the level of a trial by Judge Lynch. The case of the Louisville editors should be taken to the Federal Courts if possible, as it involves the rights of a free press and free speech, as well as the rights of those accused of crime to trial by an impartial jury. SCHOOL HISTORY AN ISSUE When Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago interjected the question of British bias in the teaching of school history, popular attention was directed to a new issue in politics. While this charge was included as an additional weapon for the purpose of ousting Dr. William McAndrew as superintendent of the Chicago schools, the issue of historical bias and omissions has been thoroughly ventilated. A few weeks ago we referred to the expert testimony of Mr. Charles E. Russell, a Socialist and author, as to the introduction of British propaganda in the schools and elsewhere. Since then Former Congressman John J. Gorman has testified to the same effect. Mr. Gorman told the Board of Education, which is trying Dr. McAndrew for insubordination, of the discoveries he had made in investigating histories used in the Chicago schools. He pronounced that certain histories were objectionable because the authors failed to mention such patriotic characters as Ethan Allen, Sergeant Jasper, Nathan Hale, Robert Morris, Von Steuben, Pulaski, Kosciusko, Lighthorse Harry Lee, Mad Anthony Wayne and Betsy Ross. "They also neglect to tell that there were Scotch, Germans, Irish and Poles in the Revolutionary ranks", he added. It was further stated that all that Mayor Thompson asks is that his forces depict the valor and glory of the heroes of the Revolution and other wars, nor should there be any omissions of these characters and events." With equal justice the Negroes of Chicago who contributed so largely to Mayor Thompson's election, might ask that the heroes of their race should be included in the histories. Why should there be any omission of the names and exploits of Crispus Attucks, first martyr of the Boston Massacre, Peter Salem, who shot down the British commander at Bunker Hill, Seymour Burr, Colonel Middleton who commanded a colored company called the Bucks of America, Primus Hall who came into such intimate contact with General Washington that on one occasion they shared the same blanket? Then there was Captain Humphrey's Colored Company raised in Connecticut, who conducted themselves with fidelity and efficiency. Colored Americans fought and fell as soldiers in the disastrous battles of Long Island in 1776, but were consigned to unmarked graves, where their bones were found three quarters of a century later. If any race that has taken part in the making of America has reason to complain of the bias and omissions of the historians, it is the Negro. We were glad to observe that the Chicago Bee called the attention of Mayor Thompson's advisers on historical revision to this glaring injustice. If the school histories are to teach the truth, let them record the part that the black patriots played in the Revolution as well as in the later wars of the country. Mayor Thompson's colored constituents should make him a Christmas present of Nell's "Colored Patriots of the Revolution." DEMAND FOR SUNDAY SHINES. It appears that the ancient blue laws against unnecessary labor on the Lord's Day have been invoked so as to prevent the ordinary citizen from having his shoes polished by a professional boot-black. Of course, he may have it performed late Saturday night if he takes the precaution to preserve his shoes from mud or slush in getting home again. In conformity with Article 192 of the code prohibiting Sunday labor, all shoe shining parlors are closed on the Sabbath and the peripatetic practitioners of the art are prohibited from pursuing the wearers of unpollished footwear. This enforcement of the statute is said to work hardship upon those citizens of sedentary habits or of obese proportions, who can no longer bend over to view their pedal extremities. They are either driven to the necessity of purchasing a bottle of shoe cleaner and a box of polish to apply before encasing their feet in leather, or else they have to resort to the practice of bootlegging a shine from some reckless bearer of the box and brush, who does not believe in enforcement. Many of these seekers after a Sunday shine are regular attendants at some tem- WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA By The Age Special Correspondent A Monace To Labor. The debate in the Legislative Assembly on the Kharagur lock out justifies our worst fears about the origin of the trouble. The main face of the case is that the trouble arose out of the sudden decision of the Bengal Nagpur Railway authorities to discharge all at once about 2000 workmen from the Kharagur Railway workshops in the name of retrenchment. The workmen, who had reason to believe that it was not a bonafide retrenchment but a subtle form of reprisal against them for their share in the recent strike protested and after all persuasive methods had failed, started passive resistance. To this the Railway authorities replied by declaring a general look out at the workshops 10,000 workmen. The main issue to be decided, is whether the retrenchment was necessary of whether it was promoted by vindictiveness. In spite of the laboured explanation of Sir George Rainy it is difficult to believe that all of a sudden'an emergency had arisen to necessitate such drastic retrenchment after the periodic retrenchments in previous years. It must be remembered that when the present, proposals of reduction were first initiated, the Labour fully co-operated with the railway authorities and both the workers and the other curious, Mr. N. M. JOSHI pointed out, that while the poorly paid workers were being retrenched there was no reduction in the number of highly paid employees which is fast being increased. Even now men are being taken in while many with long and efficient service to their credit are being turned out. Even assuming that there is some need for retrenchment, two questions still remain to be answered. First how was the need for retrenchment arisen? Secondly, could not the reduction be effected gradually? Mr. Acharya said that there was correspondence to show that the railway authorities had started the practice of placing orders with British manufacturers for goods hitherto turned out in their own workshops. This statement has not been accepted, but it is the only one, accordingly. If it is true, it is a most objectionable method of fabricating a need for retrenchment and using it as a weapon against marked workmen. Of the policy, it to be persisted in; it would result in dismantling a section of the Workshops and throw Where Widom Is Bliss, 'Tis Folly To Be Ignorant By ELIZABETH COLE One morning at the breakfast table father said, "My watch doesn't run well anymore. I reckon it needs cleaning." When he came home that evening he went to Pansy, ran up to him holding the watch, "See, daddy!" she exclaimed, gleefully, "I pelt it in the bathhut and gave it a good washing." Poor father, what could he be? Certainly he couldn't punish the child for doing something she thought was helpful. All he could do was to explain what was meant to be watched and make the best of Pansy's mistake. 1927 丰 MARKETING STAMP Many of us gn wnpuw do just as ignorant, yet would be helpful acts as that—and especially when it comes to health. For instance, instead of keeping our bodies clean inside with plenty of water (four to six glasses a day) we try to clean them out by taking medicines. Spinach, whole wheat bread, green vegetables are the best substitutes for drugs and medicines to help keep our systems cleaned out and hence well running. Then often, because we don't know any better we keep working too hard or playing too hard and fail to have enough rest. We may think we are doing this to benefit our families or our friends, but we don't think we will have more money and with money we believe we can give pleasure to those we love. But there is a limit to everybody's endurance and without sufficient sleep the strongest man or woman will cave in. Then when health is lost, money ____ ple of worship, where in their capacities as pillars they must present a becoming exterior from head to toe. How can this be done, if their boots or gaiters are lacking a shine, or at least a dull finish polish? The emergency is a serious one and the case of the citizen in need of a Sunday shine stands demands prompt relief. Especially is this true of those obese burghers, who can no longer see the conditions of their toes because of the excess weight they carry for age. An amendment of the law, so as to allow the administration of the needful shine before the hours of church service, is urgently demanded. ing out on the streets thousand of workmen only to transfer their money into the pockets of long manufacturers and shipping companies. Nor can it be in the long run an economical policy, in view of the heavy freight charges on long goods on the one nand and the easy access that the kharagpur workshops have to coal and iron field on the other. It is significant that George kainy had not a word explanation on this point. As regards gradual reduction when there should be any genuine need for it, the George said "Government were prepared to write to the railway administration that in future, shiny any further reduction be expected." Further, "efficiency." It is unanticipated to say "FROM TOMORROW WE SHALL BE GOOD." If the policy of gradual reduction is right, why shall not Government insist on its line followed in the present case, when affects over 2000 men The most ministry feature of the whole affair and one which threatens a flood of light on the motive behind the retrenchment policy is that the work manager had given instructions that in the retrenchment popup strikers should be excluded. These tell tale instructions were indeed later withdrawn but with an alter the hint was given. With all these facts staring one in the face it is difficult to resist the suspicion that the Railway Authority had for retrenchment by placing employers with outside manufacturers and ended by turning men who were involved in the last strike. This subtle process of visitation, which has already precipitated a lock out affecting 10,000 metres a menace to organised Labour over the country.

The symptom of such diseases as tuberculosis and heart disease are of hard to recognize but these diseases are curable when taken in time living. Those who keep track their health by having a peric physical examination can avoid so sickness. Among Negroes there has also been a marked reduction in the dose from various diseases. The dose per 100,000 population of tuberculosis has decreased from 1910 to 233 in 1924. It is a however, three times that of we people. Education has played biggest part in bringing down death rate. As we become less normal in a way, health begets more importance in walk of life. For unless we our health, how can we accompany anything, worth while?

He is a consumer of gas electricity, he is a passenger on the street railways and the interurban lines. He is a client of the telephone companies, the money wield the Negroes of America pour into the courts of the various public utilities amounts to millions and millions of dollars annually. The Negro in return receives the service which these companies extend pubine—and that is to Other racial group nationalities is given the opportunity to work for the utilities and a part of the money which they pay in is returned to them in the form of wages. But the Negro is denied the opportunity to work except a very few who are employed as janitors or maids. Outside of Detroit and Cleveland where is the Negro motorman and conductor? How many colored girls are employed as switchboard operators by the telephone companies in New York or Chicago with their boasted political power and prestige? A thousand street cars traverse the streets of New York and a single Negro is employed on a single car. The Negroes of Chicago pay upward of $100,000 per month for telephones and not a single colored girl can get a job as a switchboard operator throughout the length and breadth of city. And so it is in Minneapolis and St. Paul—the Negro can pay and pay and pay—and except for the service he receives with the rest of the general public—he gets practically nothing. As St. Paul is considering the question of city ownership, it is suggested that within the next year the Negro voter may have an opportunity to register his opinion of private ownership. 一 The Cleveland Post pointed out that one important result of the recent election was that it demonstrated the ability of the Negro to follow his own leaders and to vote independently of party lines. It continued: It has been pointed out repeatedly in this column that the present Codilege-Williams-ess admonition has done NOTHING to help the support of the Negroes of Ohio. In spite of almost unanimous support of the Republican party in national politics, we have no representation in public office. Requests have been made of District Attorney A. E. Berateen and Senator Willis and Fessap, a Negro as assistant to U.S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY's office, all to no avail. Unless this demand is recognized by Republican leaders, prior to the April primaries it will be only natural for Negroes to turn to Democratic candidates for Senator and President, on the theory that we can at least fare no worse. In fact, it is authoritatively reported that strong overtures are being made to Negroes to him. Gov. Al Smith for President and Gov. Vic Lonidge for President, this connection it will be reconsidered that when objectionable candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor were offered by the Republicans of Ohio last year, the Negroes broke from Republican control and elected Democrats.

HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Save Your Heart --- Heart disease is now the leading cause of death. Two per cent of all the school children in New York City have "damaged hearts." It has been estimated by leading heart specialists that two per cent of the total population are also victims of heart diseases. If you have heart trouble be sure to have it examined at least once a year by a competent doctor. If there is any kind of heart impairment, it is good to discover it early. Attacks of heart failure and invalidism may be avoided, if the trouble is discovered and treated carefully. People who have heart impairment do not necessarily have to inhalables. In many cases they are able to live normal life by self-supporting and to enjoy many activities. proper care of the heart and a planned routine of living will help them avoid heart failure and chronic invalidism. It is essential that everyone who has heart disease of any kind, should know the condition of his heart and be advised by a physician concerning the kind of work he should do he amount and type of exercise he may perform, and the daily routine best suited to his needs. Get the habit of having yearly examinations. The doctor will discover whatever physical defects there may be and advise you how to correct them. He will also examine their heart and how you --- formation in answer to questions printed in a previous issue: 1—Mr. Fred Seymour is the only colored member of the Sons of the American revolution. 2—Mrs. Vera McCray traveled with Charles Gilpin as accompaniment when that famous actor was touring as a singer. 3—Dr. H.

Martin, one of the ablest lawyers in Virginia to defend Winnegan and to the surprise of thousands, skill, ability, oratorical, powers were all thrown in the balances to stem the title which was sweeping Winnegan, a legally adjudged lunatic, to the elective chair. The fact that the accused had been committed to an insane asylum in August but allowed to remain at large in custody of the sheriff was raised by the defence. An aftermath of the recent city election in Louisville was recorded in the Louisville Leader as follows: Alexe-Moiris and James Murphy are now insured in the Jefferson County jail and a $15,000 bond for charges brought against them for activities on the recent election day, which were against the laws. These men are the two colored men who were appointed detectives by the Democratic administration when the Democrats took over the city government after the ruling against the Republicans, to fill one of the two colored men who were charged with intimidation and beaten by colored voters on election day. If these men are guilty they should of course suffer the penalty commensurate with their crime, but they should be proven guilty, and that guilt should be passed on by a fair and impartial jury. These men should not be made to pay an extreme penalty for anything they are not guilty of. They should not be severely punished for some parties could have officers of either party out with a light line. There being black men, black Democrats, if you should make no difference below the law. They should be prosecuted but not persecuted, and in this we feel that we speak the sentiment of all good citizens, white and black, Republicans and Democrats. While the Kentuckians take their elections very seriously, there is evidently no disposition to be vindictive after the ballots are counted and the result is decided. Still, the dating voters is a serious issue. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Salem M. E. Church Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, one of the two Negro men to hold such title in the M. E. Church, preached last Sunday morning. "The heavenly warfare" was Bishop Jones subject. "The basis of getting along together is tolerance," said Bishop Jones; "when you don't get along well with other people much of the trouble is due to yourself." Rev. A. B. Coleman of Abyssinian Baptist Church, and Dr. John A. Diaz of Philadelphia, were speaking at the Lyceum at four o'clock. The Lyceum choir "rendered" music. The junior choir sang their Christmas music at the League service. The children's program was well executed. On Sunday the Lyceum Choir will render its Christmas music at four o'clock, and at seven thirty the senior choir will sing Handel's "Messiah." First Emmanuel Church At the 1] o'clock service Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the text: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." S. John 3:16 Theme: "The Spirit and Purpose of the Father's Gift." Pastor Bolden, said, in part: We are entering into the spirit of Xmas, which means most people an exchange of gifts. In the act of giving and receiving things among friends much consideration is given as to the material value, and oftentimes many people become displeased and very unhappy because what they receive is not what they desire or not up to their expectations. This prevailing attitude upon occasion of this greatest universal, general natal day tends towards destroying the true purpose and spirit of the day. To us who know God our Heavenly Father, it is our place as a Father, and gifts that are the result of geno, kindly thoughts, and our spiritual being given to our fry: bi Noodemus, spoke with arthurian and definite knowledge, enlightened the rabbi's mind concerning Ge. His and our Heavenly Father's gift of love in His Only Begotten, Son to the world humanity. He declared to him that the purpose of that gift was that those that believe upon Him would have everlasting life. At 2 p.m. Sunday school was opened by the assistant superintendent. At 4:30 the Literary Society convened. At the evening service, Pastor Bolden continued his discourse of the morning service. Dinner was served during the day. Xmas Sunday, special services all day.

The Church School convened at 2 o'clock. The superintendent, C. R. Rohrmings and teachers are busy preparing for the Xmas exercise. At 6 p. m. the C. E. L. hour was obeyed.

Lewis proached the evening sermon, subject, "The Final Judgment," Matthew 25:31. E. V.

The Willing Workers Club, under Mrs. Priddie, is preparing a special musical at 3 o'clock, and at 8 p.m. the senior choir will present its Christmas cantata. St. Paul Bapt. Church night. The B. Y. P. U. Wednesday night, was largely assembled as the results of efforts of some of the workers to round up and reinteract the young people in this part of the work of the church. After a few brief remarks on the topic, "Money And Religion," by the pastor, an interesting discussion followed. Mrs. Stokes, president, was engaged with the attendance. On the same night sister L. Broadway gave a parlor social under Group F of the Missionary Society, in interest of the rally fund. It netted a nice sum. The last Friday night's covenant meeting was conducted by Deacon John M. Ware and sister Adele Wiley. Sunday mornings the pastor continued the covenant, using as a topic, "Love." The Sunday school was cramped for time, as the morning service had run way over its time but the workers got busy with the Christmas program and whipped it into good shape. The afternoon of seemed that all the people of the church had poured out to participate in the service of the third anniversary of Group Mercy of the Missionary Society, sister Rose Warren, chairlady. In the evening the pastor delivered another of his sermons on the Acts, which he terms "The History of the Holy Ghost." His theme was: "Power In Answer To Prayer." He pointed out the elements of prayer and then Showered an answer to power, physical and spiritual power given, and concluded that the same will still be given in answer to prayer. The Lord Supper was observed for the last time in the old year. Deacon Mack Thomas is still sick at his home 2256 7th avenue. St. James Pres. Church The regular Sunday morning service was well attended in spite of the very cold weather.

John 12: 19. "Each laid has its own Marvel of the Hour, but the Nazarene is for his Hour. One reason that in His creative, illuminative and redemptive thought He embraces humanity, as does the over-arching sky. Another Fes in the fact that His love, like the sunshine, falls on good and bad, white and black, homeborn and stranger. The other lies in the fact of His all embracing service; for of the ten great religions of the world Christianity is the only one that represents God as reaching down to save.

Church, Inc., gave its first grand entertainment at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, N. Y., at which time the speakers were Col. Theodore R碧威ell, Dr. W. Spencer Carpenter and Dr. John M. Marquess. A赦册 musical program was rendered by some of Brooklyn and New York best talent. Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, I. P. B. O. E. of W. turned out in large numbers accompanied by their band. Although the entertainment was not as largely attended as hoped for, yet it was one of the best ever given by our group in this city. The president of the organization, W. G. Overton, wishes, to thank all who assisted in making this a grand success. He also thanks to those who took part in the program, also to George L. Wibecow who rendered such valuable service in helping to arrange for the affair; also to Mrs. Lucy Waller. Dr. Carpenter made a wonderful speech which was received with delight. Dr Carpenter stands out as one of the leading men of our group, as well as one of our great preachers of the day, and he is highly thought of by the citizens of Brooklyn who are hoping for his return.

All of those named gave two minute speeches, followed by Captain "Biff" Martin and the older members of the squad. The players were unusually generous in praise of Coach, Watson. Edgar M. Ross, star half-back for the past three years, was unanimously elected Captain for 1928. "Bloss," as he is known, promises to give his all to the team and predicts another national championship machine. Theodus Conner, a junior, has been elected football manager to succeed M. Lester Braden. Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, presented the varsity football "H." certificate, gold footballs and sweaters to successful candidates of the 1927 squad Wednesday, December 14, 1927, at the regular Student Assembly hour, in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, with music furnished by the R. O. T. C. Band. Dr. Davis explained the conditions of the award as follows: The University major sport "H" shall invariably be a white block letter eight inches high. The following is a list of better men of the 1927 squad: Daniel Webster Brown, Edgar M. Roas, Harry Payne, Richard Ellison, Thomas E. Hawkins, Moses G. Rainey, Robert D. Miller, Cornelius J. Mask, Jr., Clarence L. Smith Costromer Ewell, John L. Young, Milfred H. Martin, Captain, Hughion M. Kelley, Vernon B. Smith, James G., Tyson, M. Lester Bradon, Manager.

Mask. A nursing cheer was given the men of the football squad by the Student Body at the conclusion of the exercises. "Underworld" Featured At The Lincoln Theatre "The totally different picture, is here at last!" This is the interesting message received by the dramatic critic of the Daily News from a friend in Hollywood who saw "Underworld" previewed at Paramount's studio. "Underworld," he writes further, "is about the most amazing screen play. I have seen in years. It is a powerfully aborning story of crime and violence literally taken from the life of a great city. "Gangsters with machine guns—policemen in a terrifying battle to preserve order—bobbed-halred bandits in silks—exciting night life resorts where the habitues of crookdom gather—murders' row in a concrete and steel jail—all of these are flashed on the screen in a way that makes one imagine himself in the real environment from which Ben Hecht wrote the story. "To tell you the plot would spoil the climax for you when you see the picture. I understand it is to be run at the Lincoln Theatre next Thursday. At any rate you'll discover a moral in it, I know, despite the sensational manner of presentation. And it's the old story that you can't get away with it." Crime offers a short life and a violent death. "You will find much to admire in the performances given by the featured players." George Bancroft, Evelyn Bremt, Clive Brook and Larry Semon. They are splendid. I might also say, that Josef Von Sternberg has done a remarkable piece of direction for Paramount, as you will agree once you've seen the film." MILLS MEMORIAL COMMITTEE GETS AID OF ENGLISH Lady Mary Cooke, Admirer of Flo Mills, To Direct Benefits Apropos development of the extensive program of benefits in their nation-wide campaign for the Florence Milla Memorial Fund, for the erection of a home for the theatrical profession, the committee is elated with the hearty enthusiasm and cooperation of the many friends and admirers of the "Lil Blackbird." A cablegram from Lady Cooke of London, England, wealthy son of British mobility, whose admiration and esteem for Lil Flo was incredible, stated her desire to sponsor and personally direct the memorial fund in European countries. All Europe, especially Great Britain, still mount the loss of the famed Miss Mills, and are anxious to pay homage to her memory. Her sudden demise, after a prolonged stay abroad, where she was so gloriously entailed in their hearts, is obviously their greatest regret and sorrow. Lady Cooke has already taken steps to arrange benefits in London, Paris, Liverpool, Glasgow and other cities. Ivan H. Browning, Noble Silash, Josephjin Baker, Leyton & Johnstone, Paul Robeson, Williams & Taylor, Carpenter & Hatch, and others, have expressed desire to assist the memorial fund. I. Jay Paggen, president of the New Savoy Ballroom, Chicago, has offered the committee hearty support and co-operation. Ben Fnuelberg, manager of the Filmore Theatre, Pittsburgh, states that the citizens of the Smoky city, are eager to give assistance. The committee thinks the entire public for their kindness and support of this commendable movement. Jesse A. Shipp, president, is working valiantly to realize the dream of the late beloved star, which will be the greatest achievement of the colored theatrical profession. 1920 MAY BELL Popular and attractive member of Alhambra Theatre Company.

"The Garden of Allah" At The Douglass Theatre After taking wind machines, howling airplane motors and tons of paraphernalia to the desert to make sandstorm scenes at night—an enterprise never before attempted on the Sahara by motion picture company—The Garden of Allah" troupe which Rex Ingram directed abroad for Metro-Goldwyn, enjoyed the ironic experience of being caught in a natural sandstorm that blinded them and paralyzed all production for days. The sandstorm took place at Bou-Saada, Algeria, about halfway between the port of Algiers and the oasis of Biskra where the original Garden of Allah exists. Two different groups were working at two different places and all communication was cut between them. Rex Ingram and three assistants were lost in the storm for thirty-six hours. The group at Bon-Saada under Flight Lieutenant expects a hint 2000 Arabs at prayer. The violence of the sunstorm stopped all work. Due to the storm the sun was just a pule blue circle. It was entirely without halation—as looked at through smoked blasses. The storm flew over a unique portable parallel which was shipped in sections from Nice to film the shot.

WHITE SATELLITE CLUB, COMPOSED OF GIRLS OF ABYSSINIAN CHURCH, SWITCH FROM MUSIC TO DRAMA FOR ANNUAL RECITAL Over at Abyssinian Baptist Church, pastored by the eloquent and distinguished Dr. A. Clayton Powell, there is a group of pretty and charming girls known as the Satellite Athletic, Literary and Social Club, and on Thursday evening, December 15, the club celebrated its fifth anniversary by presenting a 3-act comedy drama, "A Southern Cinderella." Why the girls do not include "Musical" and "Dramatic" as part of their title is not revealed; but it remains as a fact that just a year ago they gave a charming presentation of a pretty little Japanese music festival, "Fans and Lanterns," with distinguished success. Perhaps it was for the purpose of emphasizing their versatility that the girls this year presented a dramatic play. It must be that the "Literary" part of the title covers these diversified abilities, and it is certain that the girls "acted well their parts." The play was directed by the veteran dramatist, Richard B. Harrison, and the cast numbered seven. In order of their appearances on the stage, they were Caroline Hawkes, an Adventuress, Geneieve Dudley, Katherine Hawko, an English Nurse, Dorothy DeAncy, Marym Indy, a Bluegrass Wilder, Miriam DeAncy. Miss Johnnie Bell Randolph, a Little Coquette, Elizabeth Beine. Miss Rosee Winterbury, a Settlement Worker, Helen Facey. Mme. Charteris, an Old Southern Aristocrat, Julia Braxton. Enid Bellamy, a Southern Cinderella, Ina Bell. The girls gave simillitude to their portrayals, and it is almost invidious to make any individual commendation. But the two DeAncy sisters were especially to be commended for the clearness of their enunciation, which made it possible for the large audience to understand everything they said. Others were not so satisfactory in this particular, but all were charming in manner and attractive in appearance. The comedy of the evening was supplied by "Mammy Judy," even though Miriam DeAncy's youthful lineaments somewhat belied the "widow" of some half-dozen marital experiences. In the various intermissions, piano numbers were played by other members of the club which were enjoyed by the audience. Juanita Jones played Mendelssohn's "Melody of Love"; Dorothy Oliver rendered "Le Cavalier Fantastique" by Godard, and the "Romance" by Sibelius and two other numbers were given after the second act by Vivian Keith. the club guardians are Mesdames Mattie F. Powell, Eliza Jordan, Kate Dennis, Anna Skerritt, Isabelle Wharton, Anna C. Tabb and Elizabeth Ross Haynes, with Mrs: Alberta T. Kline, directress of girls' work. Officers of the Satellites are Dorothy DeCany, president; Elizabeth Hardy, vice-president; Ina Bell, recording secretary; Betty Beine, financial secretary; Julia Braxton, treasurer; Alma Vessels, chaplain; little Constance King, mascot.

Harper (nee Rose), a noted musician, and for years one of the most prominent women in New Jersey in social, religious and political circles, died Wednesday, December 14, after a brief illness, at the Woman's Hospital in New York City. Although she had been complaining for several weeks, there was no intimation that her aliment was serious, and her death came as a shock to her many friends in all ranks of life. Her greater activities in the musical world, both in church service and on the concert stage. For years she served as chorister of St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion Church, and on a number of occasions organized choruses of more than a hundred voices to render programs for various civic affairs. She was a dramatic soprano, a graduate of the Chicago University of Music, and had been heard in formal recitals on scores of occasions. She possessed a voice of richness, flexibility and depth of tone quality, and to this was added a stately, dignified and gracious personality. For a number of years she has conducted a successful music studio at her late home, 169 Claremont avenue, this city, where she gave solledid instruction to both vocal and instrumental students. In addition to her musical work, Mme. Harper engaged freely and actively in other spheres. She was a teacher in St. Mark's Sunday school and a member of several church auxiliaries. She was one of the leaders in war relief and camp community service during the late World War. During the flu epidemic, Mme. Harper was one of the most valued workers. She was president of a "Y" girls body, and in politics she was constantly called upon by the Republican leaders for advice and counsel. The funeral service, held at St. Mark's Church on Sunday, afternoon, December 18, was imposingly solemn, and marked by the beautiful musical program rendered by the choir, which she had trained; by the Y. W. C. A. girls, and by notable artists. Mme. Lulu Robinson Jones, soprano soloist in Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, New York City, sang, as did Mine Houston Berry and J. Martin Rolls. Mrs. Helen Jones Whitney and Miss Georgina H. Jones sang a duet. The eulogy was by the pastor, the Rev. J. M. Hoggard, and the service was participated in by Bishop P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn, N. Y. A number of the ministers were present. Resolutions were read from a number of local organizations, and from the local branch of the National Association of Neuro Musicians. The pall bearers were McKinley Lonn, John Barber, Wilbert Warren, Cramber Jackson, Dires Wiggins, Beverly Wilson, with members of the Missionary Circles as honorary pall bearers. John E. White was the undertaker, and interment was in New York Bay Cemetery. Mme. Harper was born in Springfield, Ohio, and was married to William H. Harper of Abbeville, S. C., thirty years ago. They had resided in Jersey City more than twenty-eight years. SOLOISTS: Sonrano, Mrs. Jennie Gowins, Chief; S. McGill Greendreed; Tenor, Mr. George Simmons; Basso, Mc. H. Junius Williams.

His Studio is at 695 St. Nicholas, Avenue, at, 145th street. The annual choir Rental of the First Emmanuel Church, the Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden, pastor, was an outstanding feature for inspiration. The general comment by visiting guests and members of the church was that each number, upon the program, would be reded. The pastor's sores were received with enthusiasm and deep appreciation by all. the chairman Horace Holley, secretary of the Bahai General Assembly, and Fred I. Eldridge, state secretary of the Y. M.

"The auditorium was crowded to standing room only. The glee club proper, composed of a score or more of boys from 8 to 12, sang several numbers, including the Spirituals, "Go down, Moses," and "De Gospel Train" arranged by Burleigh, with James Kid and Reginal Pappy as soloists. Another number was a dramatization of "Take me back to Ole Virginny," sung by a trio, Jackie Johnson, James Kidd and Reginal Pappy, with positions by Erleane Budd, Maude Merrick, Benny Ellis and Pearl Ferguson. A short play, "School Bell Fever," was given in enjoyable style by a Muriel Kelsey as the Mother; Virginia Kelsey as the Child, and Lucien H. Williams (who also served as master of "ceremonies for the evening") as the Doctor. Another set piece was a pantomime of "The Night Before Xmas," with Melvina Dabney as pantomimist; Jacob Lovalle as Santa Claus, and Dr Ardelle Dabney as Reader. Anianias Berry.was given an enthusiastic reception when he recited two Dunbar numbers "When Maindy ing's" and "The Party" and James Barry was to be appreciated when he recited "In the morning" and "Tentation," other Dunbar poems. The recitation of little Miss Doretta Norman pleased the large audience, and then she read the original essay which marked her graduation from the graded schools. Fred Phillips played "Melody of Love," a violin soo, and Albert Thornton sang "Mother Machree." Then came Jacob Lovalle with his violin to-play the "Elegie" and "Minuet in G." one of the best numbers of the evening. The closing number was the singing by the whole club of "Silent Night," each singer bearing a candle, the hall lights being cut off, ending with all the candles being extinguished save one, high in the center, which characterized the "Star in the East." Miss Consulello. Pappy was at the piano for the entire program, and Miss Rosley's sister assisted on the stage. 5th Bordentown Choir Bordentow n. N.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM To Musicians, Friends, and other readers, allow me to wish you all the old familiar Merry Christmas! Deacon Johnson, the Pioneer, the manager and general factotum of the Deacon Johnson Musical Exchange, catering to Society in its play moods and moments of relaxation. Pioneer because he tried to instill in the Clef Club the elements of business in music; was repudiated and discredited; but today lives to see his methods being attempted to be carried out by the Apex Musical Bureau, which is the business body of the said Clef Club, from which Deacon was ousted. Pioneer because he is now trying to focus music and musicians in a central point for the betterment of all and the good of postery of the race. This is a huge undertaking, with difficulties other than money to overcome. But if perseverance, resourcefulness, energy and stick-to-ijenvas, are, requisite to its success—with proper cooperation from necessary quarters to emphasize this—the deed is assured. Altruistic! Let us consider the Pioneer. Deacon has for thirty-four years been in contact with and entertained the best people in New York, in private residences, hotels, at golf clubs, etc., and he is not unknown outside of New York. He has entertained at the Hotel Marinique for a long stretch of years, and practically named his salary. He has first call of some prominent hotels today. Most customers of yesteryear are customers of today.

And this worst detractor will freely admit the pioneer is far from being a back number in the entertaining art. Must it not be some other cause than personal gain the pioneer is trying to foster in the Temple of Music? Who won the historic fight—the Clef Club or Deacon Johnson? Both claim victory. The club got Deacon out of its premises and retained its phone number, while Deacon got a sum of money from the club and retained the charter of the "Clef Club Singers and Players", which title cannot be made by the Clef Club. Now, it is alleged, the Clef Club is in a chronic state of chaos, having continuous friction with the parent body, the Apex Musical Bureau, which was formed and incorporated to do business for the Clef Club. This discontent is evidenced by designations of presidents and priests of Apex before their terms of office expire. Without a penny in its treasury, credit shattered, Deacon Johnson stepped in and financed the Clef Club and saw it rise to fame and glory. Then came the split. Speaking of the Clef Club, Deacon repeatedly has said: "It was formed out of the fullness of a big man's heart," referring to James Reese Europe, with whom he collaborated at one time in the club, "and should not die." Truthfully and actually, there is no time or place during speech with Deacon that he fails to mention Clef Club to any musician with whom he speaks.

Red Cross Pays Annual Dividend of Christmas Gifts To Disabled Vets The board 'd' directors of the New York County Chapter and the Bronx, American Red-Cross, declared their annual dividend of one Christmas Bag to each of the 2,485 New York: disabled ex-service men hospitalized throughout the United States, and a Christmas Storking, filled with warm clothing and toys, to 200 children in the city of New York. The nurses in the government hospitals and all sick or convalescent Red Cross nurses will also be remembered. For weeks volunteers have been busy at Chapter headquarters filling these stockings and bags with warm clothing, dolls, toys, games, cigarettes, candy, etc. When one stops to realize that over fifty thousand separate articles have to be wrapped and packed to fill these bags, it can be easily understood how much the Red. Cross Santa Claus depends on these devoted women who give so generously of their time and energy.
