The rate of the increase of American Negroes in nature is mostly guess work. The maximum number, estimated at 15 millions, will probably be used by the year 2000. The next 7 years will see an increase of three and a half per cent. At present the Negroes are growing in number at the rate of one half or one per cent a year in contrast with the 21-2 per cent rate of little over a century ago. A similar change is taking place in the entire population. The rate of natural increase is declining. At present the American Negro composes 10 per cent of the population and in the year 2000 they will represent only 8 per cent. National S. S.

Questioned regarding the matter, Sir Austen Chamberlain explained to the House of Commons that he had "recently instructed Mr Ben Tinkt by telegram to address a note to Ras Taffari which will carry the negotiations a step further." Archibald Johnson, formerly of Boston, Mass., but who has for a number of years been a barrister-law in London, Fengland, writes from the Hotel Gambetta, Clarins, Switzerland, commenting interestingly upon the Abbsyana fam concession and upon the attitude of the American white men toward the Negro Sav. Mr. Johnson Startled and Amused people in Europe who take interest in colored men's aflares were tarted and amused recently when he press printed the news that a white American engineer had per- peded Abysinia to let him build a dam across the Blue Nile that would cover the water in Sudan where mercantile English and growing cotton and also off the chief water supply of Egypt itself. All this destined of Englandw "One Dr. Martin who is a representative of Abysinia, went to New York and made a contract with American engineers who in turn consulted the U.S. government, and then were to build the dam and sell the water to England. But England says 'No.' If a dam is to be built, I will build myself. America, keep off Abysinia, behave yourself and keep to your treat." How America Works Is this true in our day and generation? The only. The only way it could be true would be by lying and misrepresentation. "Says Amrica to Absessima 'No need to consult England You can do a soul like in your own land" "And 'simple Africans believe them. So it all hinges on the white man's assumption of superior ability to the colored man. No sort of mental equality he has only to pull the wool over our eyes and the game is won.

Hillburn Citizens Break Up Jim Crow Attempt By Barber Hillburn Citizens Break Up Jim Crow Attempt By Barber Hillburn N.Y.-Through the efforts of members of the local branch on the N A A C P an objectionable sign "No Colored People Allowed" which appeared in a barbershop recently opened here has been removed from the store window and destroyed. Indigman residents of the village, through the branch N A A C P, drew up a petition and circulated it. The petition read as follows: "To the member of the Hillburn Village Board. We the colored citizens of Hillburn wish to enter our urgent protest against what we believe to be deliberate race discrimination as placarded and exhibited in the barber shop on Mountain avenue. We believe such procedure on the part of any citizens fosters race hatred and engenders prejudice. Moreover said discrimination is a direct violation of the Civil Rights Bill passed and which is in full force in the State of New York. "We are asking that you have the proprietor of the shop to remove and destroy the sign 'No colored people allowed.' We are asking that equal rights be accorded all citizens such as you desire for yourselves. Less than that no one should ask. More than that more should expect." Tuskegee Institute Ala.

ATLANTA WHITES ASK JUSTICE FOR COLORED SCHOOLS Protest Breach of Faith In Allotment of Bond Appropriation Atlanta, Ga. - An earnest appeal to the City Board of Education to keep faith with the Negro citizens of Atlanta by giving their schools, as promised, a fair proportion of the building fund of $500,000 recently voted, has been made by the Atlanta Christian Council, an interdenominational body representing sixty of the principal churches of the city Pointing out that Negroes compose approximately one third of Atlanta's population, and that in the recent bond election the colored voters holding the balance of power, threw their support to the bond issue on the solemn assurance that $700,000 of the proceeds would be applied to certain urgent needs of their schools the Christian Council enters a protest against the present reported plans of the Board to expend on Negro schools less than two-fifths of the sum promised, which it insists would be not only wholly inadequate to the need, but also a deplorable breach of faith and denial of justice. Points Out Conditions The Council points out that 21,555 Negro children of school age in the city, more than nine thousand are attending schools where two and three sessions a day are held because of inadequate housing facilities. The petition was, signol personally by nearly fifty of the most prominent murder, and laymen of the city. In a vigorous editorial in its support the morning Constitution says: "We must keep truth. This great city cannot afford to act in bad faith with any part of its population white or black." The Road of Education has not yet acted upon the matter. Audubon 9692 Ground Floor Mme.

This is attested by the number of tie, games played, there being 14 such struggles during the season. Tuskegee won its fourth straight championship and in doing so completed a series of 51 games since 1923, with the loss of one in October 1923 to Morehouse College, and two were ties, one with Atlanta University-in October 1923 and the other with Ala-na State Normal in December 1927.

While the cadets did not pile up the large scores that featured most of their victories in 1926, the championship team usually had enough power to win. Lincoln University, Tuskegee's Intersectional rival of the last two years was again beaten at the National League baseball park in Philadelphia 30-0. Atlanta University, the conqueror of Howard was defeated in a sea of mud 7 to 0. The Tuskegee team probably was a shade weaker than the wonderfull lineup of 1926 but the champions played smart football and had plenty of calibre to go with the team's smartness. Clark University took, second place in the Conference race. Tuskegee spoiled Clark's winning streak, but the Panthers won in turn from Morris Brown University, Morhouse College, Talladega College, and and Knoxville College. The tie games were with Alabama State Normal and Atlanta University. The Clark team under coach Sam Taylor was a stronger lineup than its eleven of the year previous, and its 38 to. 0 victory over Morehouse proved its most impressive showing of the season. The Alabama State Normal Team was a far more impressive outfit than the one of 1926 and played a brand of game that showed conclusively that, the Jacob Hornets must be reckoned with from now on. After defeating Morehouse College, Talladega College and Florida in turn, the Hornets lost to Atlanta University and Langston University, the latter an intersectionsal opponent. The games were played with Clark University and Tuskegee. Going into the Tuskegee game with the odds against them, they fought fiercely and turned back every effort of their supposedly stronger, opponent playing a defensive game only, often kicking on first down. Atlanta University had a successful year. The intersectional game with Howard University in Washington, D. C., was won 6 to 0, and Alabama State Normal, Talladega College and Morehouse College were defeated in turn. The Crimson lost to Tuskegee in its Home Coming game 2 to 0 on a field more suited for ducks than football. Tie games were played with Fisk University, Clark University, and Morris Brown University. Coach Aiken is all set on splendid material for next year and should turn out another good team. Tennessee State College had a promising season. The first year under the new coach C. (Zipp) Gayles, a former Morehouse Star, augurs well for the future. The team defecated Morehouse College, lost to Morris Brown and tied Fisk University and Knoxville College. Fisk University had a surprisingly good team. It was defeated only by Tuskegee and Morehouse College. Its tie score at 13 all with its intersectional foot Howard University came as a surprise as Howard had snowed the Bull Dogs under an avalanche of touch downs last year. Tie games were played with Atlanta University and Tennessee State College. The game with Morehouse. College was a heartbreaking one from the Fisk standpoint. Failure to kick the point after touchdown cost them a tie with their traditional rival. Morehouse College if ranked on its 11 season's showing would stand high. The Maroon Tiger made a good start by defeating Morris Brown and playing a tie with Howard University, but were defeated in turn by State Normal, Clark University, Atlanta University, Tenn. State College and Tuskegee. The Tuskegee game was a bitter struggle. The Maroon tiger being forced to bow 14 to 0. In this game the Morehouse team found itself and defeated Fisk University and Florida A. & M. College in turn. B. T. Harvey is a coach of wonderful ability, but after a year of absence he could not get his team going until late in the season. Knoxville, College under the coaching of Carl Moore, who is leaving this year, had a fine team, but lacked the reserve strength of some of its rivals. The Knoxville team was well versed in the fundamentals of the game, fast, tricky, clever at the pass and possessing a good kicker. Injuries to star players slowed the team up. The team lost to Tuskegee, Talladega and Clark, defeated Morris' Brown and tied Tenn. State College with the conference. Kentucky State and Livingston were out of conference games won. Morris Brown University under a new coach Lytle, former Shaw University star fairly sparkled at times and finished the season by holding the strong Atlanta University team to a 0 to 0 score. This game saw the Morris Brown team at its peak. Morris Brown defeated Tenn. State, College, lost to Morehouse, Knoxville College and Clark University. Talladega College had great prospects at the start of the season and Coach Kindle deserved better luck. Illness and injuries removed three tar player in midseason, who could not be replaced with capable reserves. Talladega defeated Knoxville College and lost to Atlanta University, Alabama State Normal, Fisk University, Clark University and Turkseege. Florida A. and M, College presented the best team in years. Although all conference games were lost. The rattlesnake won the Florida State championship. Coach Byrd gave evidence of team handling that indicates great things in the future for Florida. Alabama State, Morehouse and Tuskegee defeated the rattlesnake. The Morehouse game was probably the hight point in Florida's conference schedule. Two touchdowns and a safety beat them 14 to 13.

Amateur Billiardists Hold Open House Party In conjunction with the regular monthly meeting of the Colored Amateur Billiard Players' Association, Inc., at their club rooms, mezzanine floor, of the Lafayette Billiard Emporium on Monday evening, January 2. The members and friends were entertained with an old fashioned barbecue, consisting of roast pig, black-eyed peas and rice. Refreshments and cigars were served at 11 p.m. C. E. Scott, president of the association, presided as master of ceremonies, Joe Davis, club member and hotel steward, presided over the barbecue. This was General Manager Minor's first year at handling the annual affair of the club and he did justice to the occasion, ably assisted by Secretary Norman Martin and the club house committee. Music, mirth and merriment was amply supplied by the trio, Clarence Jones, Wiggins and Peterson: Eddie Lewis, Walter Thompson, John Moses, Peter Staples, and others. The members renewed their pledge to support the C. A. B. P. in all of its activities during the year of 1928. A committee was appointed, with W. H. Willis as chairmen to make arrangements for a New York State amateur championship billiard match. Y. M. D. Defeats The Eastern A. C. Again, the Carlton Y. M. D. proved themselves quite proficient in the art of handling the basket ball. Eastern A. C. went down in defeat last Saturday to the tune of 40-25. Fast floor work, clever passing and accurate shooting was more than Eastern A. C. could stand. However, the boys are to be commended upon their fighting spirit, for they fought to the end.

Franklin who directed "The Thirteenth Hour," an original mystery, drama, at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. In his research for new situations in modern crime for his story, which is now playing at the Douglas Theatre, Franklin discovered that the advancement in the field of science are eagerly seized by the criminals to aid them in the commission of their crimes. And, as rapidly as the criminals build up an offensive, detectives and criminologists strengthen their defense to cope with them. "When the stethoscope was first invented to study the action of the heart," says Franklin, "master criminals found that it would detect the faint click of the tumblers in a safe and they used it in discovering the combination of safes. This marked an advancement in the field of science—formerly doctors listened to heartbeats with their ears—and an equal advancement in the field of crime, the stethoscope being substituted for the sandpapered fingers or the crude method of blowing open the safe. "Radio broadcasting," developed within the last few years as a boon to the nations of the world, is being used, by modern detectives to trace the movements of the criminals. And they, in turn, carefully follow the movements of the officers by the same means." Lionel Barrymore, as Neville Leroy, a mysterious professor, interested in occult science, plays the leading role in the new picture, an original by Franklin and Douglas Furber. The supporting cast includes Charles Delaney, Jacquelin Gadson, Fred Kelsey, Polly Moran, Malcolm Denny, Bert Starkey, Rex Foster, Rose Tapley, Paul Palmer, Napoleon, the German police dog, and others of note.

Resolution Time! You raise your glass, singly or with others and you mentally resolve this, that and the other. You have done it before, you will do it again. Is it a gesture or an earnest desire to do that which has welled up in your heart for the moment Are you truly sincere in your resolve? Do you make any effort to feeble attempt to keep your resolve even as soon as 24 hours, have elapsed? Are you not, soon caught lapsing back into the same old habits, the same old customs that have permeated your system without any strenuous effort to combat them? And before you realize it, you have started the virgin year with the same old enemies, bitterness of spirit and ill will of the preceding year. "Bill Jones" is no good, yet he can get good jobs and hire you sometimes. You hate and envy him, yet you take his job, get paid and walk away and abuse him. "Tom Smith" plays his instrument inferior to you, get he works more than you do. When the two of you get on the same job you are paying so much attention to "Tom" that you neglect your own instrument, the leader speaks to you, you resent it and openly blame poor "Tom," who is innocent, you skulk and loai and the small orchestra is spoiled for the night. "Bill Splivins" is an agitator. He starts wise cracks until someone picks him up. Now, like most agitators, "Bill" has plenty glass windows and is very sensitive; a reply cuts him—fireworks—a disrupted orchestra. "Rosseto" is a bird: he has, had an orchestra of his own, working on a steady job. Phew! this hand he is with how is rotten, and the leader is no good. He will let the boss he can give him a better hand at a lesser rate. Hang the Union: It doesn't pay his rent—he must protect himself. He whispers to the boss, who up to then, had not noticed anything wrong. The boss will think it over. Meanwhile, he calls in a white musician friend to criticize the bunch. "Man alive! How could you stand that junk? What's the pay roll?" the critic exclaims. "I can save you money, and give you an entertaining band," and promo, a white orchestra comes in. "Scipio" admits he needs plenty practice. He will religiously every day practice for at least a half hour. But hang it its 2 p. am.ow. If he goes in the street and to the club he might pick up a job: "Helen" calls him upstairs. Geek! how time flies. It's time for seper. Home he goes, no practice that day and he gradually laps back into his old routine of shifliness and indifference. Every musician knows that each and every statement made is substantially true, with variations which could be quoted indefinitely—to the detriment of colored musicians and a preventative of that solidarity of unity which should prevail among us. Nothing written here should be construed that the writer advocates the hiring of incompetents. But the facts stand out in my mind that a second rate musician is preferable to a first grade one when the first grade man is cantankerous, loafing and a disturber of the peace and playing abilities on the rest of the orchestra. The election of the officers for the N. A. M. A. was held December 12, 1927, at the associations' headquarters. The election was novel in some respects. In the first place, a very limited number of members bothered to vote, one member running for president—three were nominated—received no vote (where as his proposer') and the candidate, if he did not intend to vote for himself, why did he not withdraw his name from the ballot? Another presidential candidate polled one vote, his proposer as on the job but the candidate himself forgot everything about the election (fair) Make you own comments.

Atlanta University Chorus Sings Cantata Atlanta, Ga.—To a surprisingly large audience on a bitterly cold day, Atlanta University prescheduled on Sunday afternoon, January 1, the cantata, "Holy Night," by a select chorus. Mrs. J. W. Burney, musical director, has accomplished a great deal in the vocal music of the university, as was revealed by the choruses. The solos by the Misses Mary Lou Davis, Matilda <u>Blair</u> and Wendolyn Thomas showed a finish that has not been heard in the chorus work for a long time. The emunciation was particularly pleasing because of its distinctiveness. The university orchestra accompanied the chorus and was no less a surprise in its harmony and control. The instrumental department under Mrs. Edith Coate has for a long time had a fine reputation and now Mrs. Burney has begun the same fine record in the vocal department By next Sunday the Alumni pects to show in actual cash $35, 000 towards their $100,000 goal for endowment.

For to them he carries There are some professional men here and there within the race (our race, I mean) who carry their title of doctor, lawyer, publicist, and so forth and son on, with consummate case. In other words, they do not try to impress the common herd among their acquaintance with their mental and vocational superiority; they simply let the herd find this out for themselves. The late David C. Outlear, whose death occurred on Monday, December 26, and who was a well-known lawyer in Harlem, belonged to this class of Negro professional men. Aside from the democratic manner in which he bure himself, the late Mr. Outlear had a philosophy of life that was uncommonly rare for one of his vocation. He was a firm believer in the teachings of Jesus Christ. And not only did he try to follow these teachings himself, but he used his influence to help others to follow them. Yet in spite of his adherence to the ideals of Christianity, Mr. Outlear was not a religious fanatic by any means. Even had he been so disposed, his profession would not have permitted him to be that. But it is not the spiritual part of his life to which this article is dedicated. The eulogy here is to memorialize that part of his life which formed the thought for the opening paragraph—his democracy. As said, the late Mr. Outlear was no religious zealout. He was fond of playing cards, such as whist and pinchole. They were the pastimes, he said, which afforded his relaxation. And almost every afternoon, after court hours, and before he was taken ill, he could be found for an hour or more at the Pullman Porters Club indulging in one of these two games. It was the delight of the skilled players at these pastimes to "barrel-up" (expression usd for a beaten foc) the "Counselor." The zest to vanquish the "Counsellor" was due to the fact that he was an unusually adept player, and when he was vanquished which was seldom, the victor or victors, as the case was, would receive the plaudits of the other players. Most of the men with whom he spent this time were Pullman porters and other railroad men. The "Counsellor", by the code of modern society, was entirely out of his sphere. But Mr. Outlear never thought so, nor did he ever give any of the members or visitors of this club any reason, by word or act, to think otherwise. He found pleasure and relaxation among these men because he respected them and they in turn respected him. Th fact that he was of the professional world and they were of the employment world was a span which neither he nor they ever had occasion to mention. He was one of the original men to be elected to honorary membership in the club. And there was not a time, said one of the officials in speaking of him, that he was asked to do something in the interest of the organization that he failed to respond. He was so well liked and respected by the membership that when he became interested in the Bible Classes in Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, he succeeded in inducing any of the members to join these classes. The passing of Attorney, David C. Outear will be a loss to the Negro bar of Harlem, to the church with which he was identified, and to other activities of welfare, but in all these, none of his mourners will be more sincere in their regret at his going than those of the common herd. For to them he carried his title with skilful ease. Picked Up Here And There George Ringle is just a Pullman buyet man. He lives in West 139 street. Oh, no, not in West 139th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues. That is the zone of the edicos, the "fossers" and the brokers. Furthermore, George would have the feeling, even if he had the withal, to do what he did Saturday evening, December 31, if he were of this vicinity. Ringle celebrated the passing of the old year by giving a New Year party to all the children in the tenement house in which he lives, which is Number 60. From the number of children that snugged themselves into the Ringle apartment during the party, it appeared that only these persons living in number 60 have children in that block, which is between Fifth and Lenox avenues. The party is an annual charity with Mr. Ringle. He usually gives it on New Year's evening each year, but due to New Year coming on Sunday, the party was held on Saturday evening. Miss Ethel Riley was hostess for the tots, and she made a realistic Lady Bountiful. Albany, N. Y.—James B. Raniolph of Swan street and Richard Jefferson of Second street have returned to their studies. Randolph is a student at Downington Industrial School and Jefferson a student at New York University.

It is prime in the matter of guidance. By ability, we will understand. That power to think which enables us to solve any difficulty or problem with which we are confronted. Every one is faced with all sorts of situations requiring thought. Some are able to think them through; others fail. This difference in result is often due to a difference in ability. We have before us always in this country, the fundamental democratic idea, "All men are created equal." And, so they are. But chiefly in the respect that all men are created equally entitled to be happy, and equally entitled to the protection of the law while they pursue this happiness. -With a little thought, the conclusion forces itself upon the thinker that equality in men does not extend much further than the above limitation. This is the first thing the parent must satisfy himself of—all men are not equal in all respects and of course, it follows, neither are all children. In one family, each child of the same parents differs from all the others in one or many respects. Daily, this truth is either demonstrated or voiced by some parent. However, over it all hangs the vague notion that any child has the ability to do anything, any other child can do. This of course is not true. It is vital then to study the ability of one's child. Today we will discuss ability to tackle problems involving just thinking. The parent will not realize his child's standing as quickly as the teacher. The latter has numbers of other children with which to compare the child. She has seen the results obtained by many pupils, in several classes, over a period of time and knows what children of that age and grade usually do with those problems. The parent sometimes tells to the teacher, what she believes to be the correct mental standing of her own child and feels that she knows the better. It is rarely possible for the parent to be accurate because she has not the basis the teacher has upon which to found her conclusion. In addition to the teachers estimate of a child's mental ability, there are the so-called "intelligence tests." These have been devised by eminent psychologists who have made an extended study of the workings of the mind. Separating the many kinds of problems, and taking one at a time, they gave examinations to thousands of children, all in one grade. A very large number attained a certain standard on, say on each test. A smaller number went below that standard, and a small number also stood above. These tests were given over and over before the test was considered worth printing and using generally. Finally, the psychologists could say that a certain aged child should be able to do what the majority of thousands of children had been able to do with his mind on a certain test. This, then, is how the "intelligence tests" were worked out. They are still being worked out for different ages and grades of children. Children think very, very early in life. Parents delight in noting this. We can now test the thinking powers of school children from the kindergarten on through college. These tests are so carefully devised and checked that they deserve our confidence. The parent should consider the "intelligence test" to be as useful to the educator as is the stethoscope or the x-ray to the physician. In the case of the x-ray, the general doctor sends his patient to the specialist to be examined. He, then uses the x-ray finding to base his treatment on. The teacher uses the above tests in the game way. She bases some of her work on the results of the mental tests. The rest she bases upon her own understanding of the child's ability in the regular work of the classroom. The parent should also make use of this mental measurement. It is as important to the parent as the grocer's scale of weights is to him. We would suffer much loss if nothing was weighed and measured. Weights and measures were devised so long ago in man's history that we do not often stop to imagine the inconvenience of doing without the pound weight—and the liquid measure. But because mental measurement is new to the parent, confidence in it is only beginning to be established. The time will come when parents will ask, as many are now doing, that their children he given every test possible to ascertain his ability. The guidance a parent can do along this line is important. First, find out the true ability possessed by the child. Then, watch closely the report card sent home by the teacher. Visit school during Open School Week and see the written work exhibited. Find out how the child compares in this respect with the highest and the lowest in the class. If the child has high intelligence in thinking out problems as shown in the intelligence test, but does work as poor as the ones who rated "poor" in ability to tackle problems, then the parent's course is clear. The child must be stimulated to work up to his limit. Teachers find that many bright children do not achieve as much as those known to be dull. Other factors enter which will be discussed later. For the present, it is sufficient to state that the capable child, if well who won't work should be made to work. And vice versa, a dull child should not be made unhappy when doing his utmost, he still falls behind the brightest. He has other qualities, most likely which will bring his success in life. Recognizing all this, the schools are now so graded that all those who take to "hard" thinking are placed in one class where like is competing with like. All are happy. Few get discouraged in this new grading. The teacher can set her pace according to the speed of the class. The parent must recognize the proven fact, that the intelligence of a child does not change throughout life. A person gets more experience as he goes through life and can improve his conduct in the light of that experience. But ability to tackle his problems, hard to him as a baby, will be the same ability to tackle his problems, hard to him as a man. The parent should decide early not to prepare the very bright child for work requiring little or no mental power but plan for him to do the work for which he is capable. He could work in the professions and higher business and trade positions. And again the converse is true. and Miss Hefietta Dinn of New York. City over the weekend. A. M.
