Charges Of Jealousy and Lack Of Sincerity Made By Rev. Franklin In Telling Why He Left Concord Denies That He Was Disloyal In Any Way To Pastor Adams Or That Any External Influences Had Aught To Do With Case The Rev. C. L. Franklin, former assistant pastor of Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn, who resigned following his defeat for election to the pastorate of Berean Baptist, another Brooklyn church, denies that the severance of his connection with Concord was due in any respect to disloyalty to the chief pastor, the Rev. J. B. Adams. Likewise does he deny that there was any external influence responsible for his action. On the contrary, he charges in a formal statement made to The New York Age, that he resigned because of "a complete dissatisfaction with Rev. Adams' apparent attitude." He states that when assuming the assistant pastorate fourteen months ago, he was with the stipulation that he would not remain if he round, that his "stay" should impede the progress of the program." This statement was bourged forth by the publication last week of a story telling of death' and kidnapping threats which had reached the key. D. W. Hoggard of Plainfield, pastor-elect of Bergen Church, who defeated Rev. Franklin by the close vote of 89 to 52, in which it was stated that tumors were, freely circulated around Brooklyn that there was believed to be an element of disloyalty in Rev. Franklin's attitude toward the chief pastor, the Rev. J. B. Adams, and that at least one other minister was held by Dr. Adams to be abetting Franklin in his actions." Denied Pulpit To Franklin. Rev. Franklin charges that Passor Adams has not, only tried from his pulpit to attribute the assistant pastor's resignation to "external influence rather than internal," but has repeatedly denied Franklin an opportunity to make explanation direct to the congregation from Concord's pulit. He paws a high tribute to Concord's membership, saying it "is one of the best I ever met or heard about," and avers that he and avers that he and Pastor Adams "were good friends and I hope our friendship continues." But he charges that a "spirit of apparent jealousy on his (Adams) part has brought many an unpleasant day to me." And he charges further that at Concord he "soon realized that there was a spirit of misunderstanding between Rev. Adams and the good people of his flock which was of long duration." This naturally placed me, the "newcomer," in an awkward position." And later, states Mr. Franklin, "conciously and unconsciously repeated acts which would touch the soul of any real man (and assistant pastor do have souls)." The Berean Candidacy. Referring to the Berean pastorate, Rev. Franklin declares that at first he thought Rev. Adams favored his candidacy, but "when he would so often talk with me about churches outside of Brooklyn and give but little thought to Berean, I became suspicious of his sincerity and thought he merely wanted me out of Brooklyn and gave but little thought to Berean, I became suspicious of his sincerity and thought he merely wanted me out of Brooklyn as an active pastor. All of his contacts All of His contacts meant absolutely nothing toward success in notting the church; R. R. Russell's statement in ill, is as follows: WHY I RESIGNED CONCORD. On coming to Concord fourteen months ago, I had it understood that I would not remain on the program if perchance I should realize my stay should impede the progress of the program. As soon as I realized that conditions warranted it I resigned and was congratulated by Pastor Adams for the manly stand I took in the mat- Since my resignation, Rev. Adams has taken the liberty to totally explain in his own way the reason for my leaving. He undertook to convince the man his pulpit that it was more than external influence, rather than internal or anything else in the program at Concord. His humanity to speak on the man's pulpit has been denied me by himself. THEOREM APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL HILARIE ME THROUGH THE "First, there was absolutely no external influence luring me to resign, but a complete dissatisfaction with Rev. Adams' apparent attitude. The membership of Ourcord is one of the best I ever met or heard about; the people and I were the best of friends, and nothing existed to make me feel cold towards them. Rev. Adams and I were good friends, and I hope our friendship continues. But the spirit of apparent jeabosity on his part has brought many an unpleasant day to me. Adams Was Jealous. "When I arrived at Concord I soon realized that there was a spirit of misunderstanding between Rev. Adams and the good people of his flock which was of long duration. This naturally placed me, the newcomer, in an awkward position. Prayerfully and carefully I endeavored to adapt myself such conditions. Soon a spirit of felicity was apparently born in the heart of the pastor, Rev. Adams. This meant consciously and unconsciously repeated acts which would touch the soul of a real man (and assistant pastors do have souls!" "This spirit caused the pastor to publicly discuss my ability to preach, and had it well understood that I should not be considered a better preacher than he (this was in my absence). "The climax, came when the Berean Church was considering me as a logical candidate. Rev. J. B. Adams' interest in the matter was plainly seen, and thought to be the best for me at first. But when he would so often talk with me about churches outside of Brooklyn, and give little thought to Berean, I became suspicious of his sincerity and thought he merely wanted me out of Brooklyn as an active pastor." Influence Mean" Nothing. "He was supposed to use his influence, but all his contacts, so far as it was possible to observe, meant absolutely nothing toward my success in getting the church. It is true that he wrote a most beautiful letter to Berean just two weeks prior to the election. His letter, though beautiful, could not convince me, in the light of his actions, that he was really my friend in my securing a Brooklyn pastorate. "Such jealous spirit and the fruits of the same convinced me that resigning was the best thing to do for all concerned. I resigned and was willing to explain in detail to the fine membership but was not given a chance to even say farewell to those who had been so very nice to me. "I realize I cannot give the details in this letter and I hope the public can see my position in the matter. I would have the public to know that in Brooklyn I have some of my best friends in the ministerial profession. "I hope Rev. Adams will realize the unfairness of discussing his assistant pastor, in his absence, and also the unfairness of prohibiting him from explaining to the public the other side of the story. "I hope Berean and Concord a most glorious future, and for the Rev. Mr. Adams much success." (Signed) "C. L. FRANKLIN. "Former Assistant Pastor.

S. HARTEN Militant Brooklyn Pastor Asks Brother Ministers and others to "hand off" and let him fight per- sonal battle himself. DR. HARTEN IS ARRESTED WHEN DEFENDING·WOMAN Prominent Brooklyn Minister Protests Brutality By Police The Court of Special Sessions Clinton and Franklin avenues, Brooklyn, was the scene of much activity Thursday, January 12. The case of Mabel Jenkins, former maid at the Gritnick household, 694 Crown street, was tried and more than 200 members and friends of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church were present under their leader, the Rev. Dr. Thomas S. Hartett, through whose work the maid was able to secure a counsel in the person of Myles A. Paige. Testimony was presented by the Chuticks who accused Miss Jenkins of assault. After weighing the testimony of both sides, the Court pronounced a fine of $25 or 5 days. Members of Dr. Harten's congregation got together and praised the fine. The Jenkins case being over the 200 or more persons who had come down with Dr. Harten started to file out of the building According to witnesses a white woman told police officers that she was afraid for her safety with so many Negroes around. One of the police officers is said to have volunteered to escort her safely from the building. Officer Struck Down Then a surprising thing happened. A police officer pushed aside one of the woman interested in the Jenkins case and when she did not move fast enough he is said to have struck her. The offended woman, Mrs Edna Brinson of 251 Greene avenue, Brooklyn, is said to have been so enraged that she struck the white man—he was in plain clothes and she did not know that he was a police officer—in the eye. When the officer attempted to manhandle Mrs. Brinson, the men in the crowd took up the case. Dr. Harten, who was down the street at the time all this occurred was called back by one of his congregation and he started to calm down the enraged members of his flock who were threatening to "heat up" the detective. By this time, policemen appeared to reinforce their brother policeman and started to scatter the crowd. Detectives had in custody Mrs Brinson when Dr. Harten asked for an explanation. They told him that they were arresting the woman and she was fighting against the arrest. The pastor finally succeeded in calming the woman and she told him her side of the case. Dr Harten As Peacemaker. Dr. Harten advised her to go along with the officers and not resist arrest and he would stand behind her. The two officers, Mrs. Brinson and Rev. Harten went across the street where the policemen had their car. As they seated themselves in the car, with Dr. Harten standing on the sidewalk, the minister warned the policemen about their tactics of beating prisoners and told them that he had delivered Mrs. Brinson into their hands and wanted to see her appear in court without marks or bruises on her. They were offended as such advice and when the policeman caged up to Rev. Harten and told him to move on. Rev. Harten was gathering his followers, in preparation to leave for home, as was his custom, and he sought to explain this to the policeman. The officer told him he was under arrest for disorder. U. S.

The conviction of Jesse Harvey and Richard E. Warner, former prohibition agents, undet an indictment charging conspiracy to extort bribes from Harlem speakeye proprietors, was unanimously affirmed by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, on Tuesday, January 17. Both defendants were sentenced to 13 months imprisonment in the Atlanta Federal Prison by Judge John C. Knox following conviction last summer. The Harvey-Warner convictions gained much publicity through the testimony of Albert Briggs, an East Indian, who said he had acted as the accused men's chauffeur, concerning "third degree" methods allegedly The Rev.

She became so panic struck that she ran to the win- dow and leaped to the airshaft below, where she was instantly killed. The other tenants were soon aroused but the fire had spread to the hallway which cut off their escape to the stair. There were no fire escapes and many made their way to the roof and escaped through the adjoining building. Some were leasing from windows in the burning building when the firemen arrived and effected rescues of about fifteen persons. An aerial ladder was raised to the roofs of adjoining buildings and scores of frightened tenants streamed down. 13-Year Old Girl Suffocated. "George" Williams, with his wife and four children, were tenants on the top floor. Mr. Williams awakened his wife and their children and they all dressed before climbing to the roof of the building, which, adjoined theirs. Mr. Williams told his younger daughter, Helen 13 years old, to follow him. When they got to the street, Helen could not be found. The excited father, ran up and notified the fireman, who went up a soon as the fire was gotten under control and found Helen in bed dead. She had been literally roasted to death, and when Undertaker Rodney Dude prepared the body for burial he found that all skin on her body, from head to feet, burned to a crisp. She was 13 years of age and a student at P. S. 136, one block away. The apartments that were not completely wrecked by the fire, were so badly damaged by water that the tenants were unable to occupy them. About 50 people were made homeless. Reflectives and neighbors took them in and used at prohibition headquarters. Briggs testified that August Heise, at that time Assistant Prohibition Administrator, had resorted to a "Chinese method of punishment", to compel him to testify, while he Briggs was bound to a chair. As a result, Heise was suspended and a Grand Jury investigation, which ended in his exoneration, followed. Chester P. Mills, Prohibition Administrator for the District, took exception to Heise's suspension and resigned almost immediately after it had been announced. Briggs, Josiah Dixon, and Edward Mc Camra, a white agent, who were tried with Warner and Harvey were acquitted. Ten Requests That No Behalf; To Stand Trial the public oceils, that my influence for good is just as far-reaching as any other Negro; and I have helped to get more people out of jail, and rescued them from the courts, than any two colored persons in Brooklyn combined. I have not asked anyone to come to my rescue. I thank the committee and Miss Lillian Corbett; and the many loyal friends for what they have done; but my request is that they go to the rescue of the masses. In this case I am fully prepared to fight my own battle. All I ask is that they lose sight of Harten and cooperate with me in bringing about a better day for the Negro throughout this country.

New Welfare Officer At 135th St. Station The new welfare officer of the 16th Precinct, stationed at the 135 street police station, succeeding the late Lieu. Joseph S. Sauder, who died in his Brooklyn home on Christmas Eve, is Lieu. James Edwards, also a Brooklynite, having been born and raised in Greenpoint. As was his predecessor, Lieu Edwards is a veteran police officer, with nearly thirty years' service to his credit. He wears an honor bar with two stars for heroic deeds. For the past fifteen years he has been doing desk duty at the Greenpoint and Mescroie avenues stations. Greenpoint citizens are outspoken in regret, at the transfer of Lieu, Edwards, and declare that his unfailing courtesy and good humor won him many friends. He has the appearance of a successful business man as he sits at his desk, and it is believed that he will be successful in his welfare work in the Harlem community. Major Harry Edwards of the U. S. Army, stationed in Texas, is a son to the Police lieutenant. One of the police officer's hobbies is a homemade radio set on which, he tells his friends, he can get California. Chicago Negroes Want More Recognition For Supporting Thompson Chicago, Ill.—The Negro population of the south wards which gave 90,000 out of a passible 100,000 votes for "Big Bill" Thompson for Mayor and elected him by a majority of 85,000 are pressing demands for recognition The physicians are said to be organized and are pressing their demands to the Mayor. They ask for appointment of a Negro physician as assistant health commissioner; appointment of "a member of his colored constituency" to the Board of Education admission to the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium of Negro patients on the basis of the number of cases among their race; establishment on the south side of a hospital maintained either by the city or county which shall be open to all physicians, nurses, and patients without regard to race, creed or color. According to their complaint, the City Hall is filled with Negro messengers and porters but as on the money jobs they are not in. The exceptions are Bishop A. J Carey, a member of the Civil Service Commission, and several young lawyers who are appointed to minor posts. Court Assigns Lawyers To Defend Woman Held For Killing Her Mate Attorneys Louis N. Levelle, 200 West 15th street and Attorney Mann Trice, 291 Broadway, for meth assisting attorneys general of the State of Texas were as- signed on Tuesday, January 10, by Judge Cornelius, Collins of the Court of Special Sessions, Part One, to defend Anna McLebee, who is charged by indictments with wurder, in the first degree. The woman is charged with having stabbed John McLebee, her husband, with a kitchen knife in her apartment at 2575 Fifth avenue, New York City, on Thursday, December 22. The wounded man died the same day at the Harlem Hospital. This culmination was marked by a mortgage-burning function which the congregation, led by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. A. Chappell Powell, the assistant pastor, and the Willard W. Monroe, and the chairman of the building committee Nelson A. Dixon, who is also retiring of the trustee board, joined in a jubilee which gave full solemn for the expressions of a joy filled their souls, emphasized the singing of pealing hosannahs and utterance of inspired prayers at thanksgiving. An Unprecedented Feat. The full story of the unusual and unprecedented feat, so far as record of the Negro church and America is concerned was told in full in The Age of January 19, Ground, for the structure was broken on April 19, 1922; the cornerstone was laid in July following, and the building was dedicated to service on June 17, 1923. At this time, $274,821.86 in cash had been paid, a goodly part of which was obtained from the sale of the downtown properties. The balance $60,000, was covered by a mortgage held by the Dry Dock Savings bank, which way to run twelve years, with a minimum payment of $5,000 yearly. But the first year, some $30,000 was paid, and on Saturday, December 31, 1927, the final $10,000 was paid, thus clearing the church absolutely of debt. So on Wednesday night, January 11, the pastor, officers and congregation with justified priests welcomed those of their friends who were able to find space within the auditorium to join in their jubilation. Tribute to Wm. Marbow. Dr. Powell opened the evening program with a welcome to the assemblage during which he gave a deserved tribute to one of the men whose ability and faithfulness during the early days of struggle and effort contributed largely towards the successful completion of the task, the late William M. Marlow, for years the faithful treasurer, who passed to his final reward while in the midst of the conquering conflict. Another former officer, William C. Cole, who was secretary of the board of trustees prior to Mr. Dixon, and who was present to serve as presiding officer of the mortgage-burning jubilee, was also given his meed of praise by the pastor, and then introduced to take charge of the exercises. In taking the chair, Mr. Cole declared that the successful cultivation of Abyssinian's church-building effort was due to the pastor's vision, progress and conservation, "man of affairs in that he can do big things" to the loyal support of the congregation and to officers who handled every point of the huge sums raised without a sign of dishonesty or a blint of scandal. The invocation and reading of the 48th Psalm was by the Rev. Horatius S. Hill director of religi- 教育, education at Alssimian, and another prayer was offered by the assistant pastor in which a bea- tiful reference was made to the sullied character and work of Mrs. Mattie F. Powell, the pas- tor wife. Then the senior choir, directed by L. H. Poe, with Mrs. Anna D. Whitfield in the organ, saves a rare setting of the 150.h Psalm. Pastcr Tells Story The master of ceremonies introduced the master Dr Powell, to tell "How We Did It" and this he did in the most interesting manner. He briefly optimized the history of Massachusetts Church from it founding in June, 1802, by the Rev. Thomas Paul, who came to New York from Boston with the first church house being located in Worth street in 1858 under the Rev. Wm. Spelman, the church moved to Waverly place, Pastor Spelman serving for twenty WILL THIS MASONIC TEMPLE BE COMPLETED? Mr. Moore declared that everything that has been accomplished has come by and through the church. I think the Negro people have Negro leaders. If not, the preachers ought to get out of the pulpits because they are the rightful leaders. The first step in your program should be an endowment fund. Build small Abyssinian funds. Jas. W. Gerard Addresses Urban League Annual Conference; Awards To Alderman Moore & Mrs. Briggs Alarming Increase In Juvenile Criminals Re the local officers and unanimously adopted. That we do denounce Randolph and the Union. It is detrimental to the welfare and success of the Pullman Porters, and we are entirely satisfied with the treatment that we are receiving from the hands of the company that has so long accrued us and our families. That we do pledge our sincere support and allegiance to the Pullman Company and we will put forth our best efforts and work for the best interests of the company. Eight months ago, Bennie Smith, field organizer, was forced to leave declaring that if Randolph "comes here to Jacksonville Ill put him here in jail, and anybody else who has anything to do with the meeting." Although Mr. Randolph declared he was ready to test the mayor's attitude, citizens of Jacksonville advised against doing so. It is believed that Pullman Co. officials in Florida are responsible for this un-American antagonism against the Brotherhood. Just a few months past the church's centennial, Dr. Powell came down from New Haven to succeed to the pastorate. His service, began on December 30, 1908, the seventeenth pastor of Abyshian. After twelve years devoted to spiritualizing and reorganizing the congregation, Dr. Powell started upon the actual realization of his dream of a modern and model church in Harlem. The three lots comprising the present church site were purchased in 1920. Coming To Harlem. During the summers of 1920 and 1921 mammoth tent evangelical meetings were held on these lots, and after the first one Dr. Powell put into operation the jiting plan by which 2,000 members pledged one-tenth of their earnings to the building fund. It is a remarkable evidence of loyal faith that 95 per cent of these pledges were kept, making possible the financing of the effort entirely by the congregation, except for $18,000 given by white friends, and that without the jiting of live entertainment or special rally by the church itself in the church building. Such entertainments as were promoted by clubs and auxiliaries in the lecture room were for other purposes. Dr. Powell gave full credit to the various news agencies which gave publicity to the work of Abissinan, referring particularly to The New York Age as not only giving first page stories but that its editor, Alderman Fred R. Moore, who occupied a seat on the rostrum had given $52 a year for four years towards paying the debt. The pastor declared that one of the child elements of the church's financial success lay in the honour and affection of the officers. He said that $334,818 had been handled by Nelson E. Dixon, William H. Marlow and W. C. Coles, and that with one of the world's leading firms of certified accountants, after rigid yearly auditings of all the church accounts there had not ever been found one penny out of place, a record that few business houses can equal. Summarizes The Answer. Dr. Powell summarized his answer to the question, "How Did We Do It?" In four sections: "Is It By the help of all the pastors and members, who preceded us, 2nd. By organization, business efficiency and downright honesty, seven arms of God. 3rd. By following God's methods of tithes and offerings." By effectual, earnest prayer." After the chair had sung, "Let Mr. Zen Rejoice," the chairman introduced the chairman of the building committee and secretary of the board of trustees, Nelson F. Dixon to speak on "After the Mortgage Burning—What?" Declaring that nature's inexorable law requires us to move or file, Mr. Dixon warned that the congregation is standing in a dangerous position, and there must be no carrying. "I suggest," he said, "that we attempt one of the largest and biggest attempts in Negro investments ever made in the world. We are going to deal in Negro futures in flesh and blood and bones and sinews. There are two big things in the program—religious education at home and religious education abroad. I propose that the church raise $5,000 a year for five years for religious education abroad, and then $10,000 a year for foreign missions ever after." "Continuing, he said: 'Everything should be subordinated to religious education at home. It is the salvation of the race. The walls, the gym, the clubs, everything we do must preach the Gospel." Last year we spent $5,000 on community work and gave $2,000 for education in America. We propose that we spend $10,000 a year for community work for three years, and then $15,000 a year for religious education. The Mo- uage Burning The next speaker was Attorney Aaron Smith, president of the Abyssinian Forum, representing professional men and women, who declared that Abyssinian Church has built up the second largest congregation in America—7,000; has the greatest Negro choir and the number of auxiliaries in America, and at the same time has given $1,000 to the dedicatory services of other churches Prior to Mr Smith's speech occurred the ceremony of the mortgage burning, in which, as the thoir sang "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow," the mortgage was dried in a silver urn, Mrs. Mar. Taylor struck a match, which she handed to her husband, Dee. William H. L. dor who applied the flame to the paper. And as the smoke curled upwards, the congregation closed with the door, the majestic streams of Cold Water. Congratulations from the citizens of New York were expressed by Alderman Fred R. Moore of the 10th District, who took occasion to shave pastor and congregation for their support in the Alderman嫉蔓 and election. He congratulated the Dr. Russell and the people of the church. Alderman Monte took occasion to point out the need for a larger community work in Harlem, and urged the extension of Abyssinian's activities into these lines. Said he: College Grads Need Church. While I do not desire to discourage African missionary work because thousands of Africans by 1330 and 1340 attended who need attending to. And you can spend some money on the emply-eded, educated college graduates and christians them and do the big job of getting them to see that the church is the most important cultural institution in the world today." Mr. Moore declared, that everything that has been accomplished has come by and through the church. I think the Negro people have Negro leaders. If not, the preachers ought to get out of the pulpits because they are the rightful leaders. The first step in your program should be an endowment fund. Build small Abyssinians round about Herlem, where there are nearly 300,000 Negroes. With only 60,000 coming into the churches, Ought there not be a small Abyssinian in Fifth avenue? "Live right, live honestly, live docently. Let your Christianity be a living one, standing up behind Abyssinian Church and its pastor and divine God the glory." A special hymn, "Ahyssinian Should Be Happy," arranged by A. C. DoAny, director, was sung by Junior Chol as the closing Overflow Meeting. A supplemental meeting, to take care of part of the overflow crowd, took the form of an open discussion of the question, "What Shall Abassianian Do Next?" led by George E. Voting, chairman of the trustee board, with music by an orchestra led by P. B. Watkins and singing by the junior choir, directed by A. C. DeAncy. Other features of the evening were splendid sobes by Mrs. Eather Haves and Mrs. Lucy Henson. The boards of male and female ushers handled the tremendous crowds, both upstairs and down, with splendid efficiency and smoothness, especially in the crush that followed closing of the service upstairs when more than 2,000 people tried to get into the room, which has a capacity of only 1,000 where forty gallons of cream and more than 200 cakes were served free. The audience was a cosmopolitan one, composed of people from every rank, from the professional and business down to the street gangster. Dr. Harten Arrested When Defending Woman (Continued From First Page) Iy conduct and fro refusing to obey an officer. The pastor accepted this charge and peacefully went to the Adams Street Court with the officer. There the judge released Rev. Harten on his own recognition, not requiring any hall, and set the date of hearing for Friday, January 20. Previously, Mrs. Edna Britson had been released on $500 ball. Monster Protest Meeting. A 'monster mass meeting' was held Monday, January 16, at Holy Trinity Baptist Church, DeKalb avenue, near Franklin, Brooklyn, under enquiries of the National Equal Rights League, Miss Lillian C. Corbett, chairman. More than 1200 people jammed the room to listen to the speeches. More than 1000 attended the platform, with the Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor of Siloam Presbyterian Church, presiding. The speakers were the Revs. H. H. Green, James B. Adams, Timothy White, J. D. McQuade of North Carolina, Wm. H. Moses of the National Baptist Convention, Rev. Scott of Portsmouth, Va., Descon Gray of Holy Trinity Church, Miss Lillian Corbett, chairman of the National Equal Rights League, and Edgar Gray of New York City. Enthusiasm ran high when Dr. Hartman was introduced and related the circumstances leading up his arrest, not as one affecting only his arrest, not as one meeting only himself, not as one affecting the race, and it was on this latter occasion that he was more concerned. As his circulars read "White men have always been ready to die for white women. When will black men be convinced that the women of their race are entitled to equal protection?" Negro Artists Art Exhibit Big Success (Continued From First Page) Paris, for a drawing "Place de la Monnaie, Pau, France"; O. Richard Reid of New York for his portrait of Chas. S. Johnson; and M Gray Johnson of New York for his portrait of Wilson Lamb. Those awards were made without regard to awards made in the Harmon Foundation awards in fine arts, which were for distinguished achievement and excellence in the exhibit prize. Many of the exhibits were from artists who did not enter for the Harmon awards. Bust Bought for $250 Mrs. Laura Wheeler Waring, of Cheyney, Pa., first in the Harmon awards, had seven pictures on exhibition, and J W Hardrick of Indianapolis who was second, had five pictures hung. Hayden sent three and Woodruff two, while Sargent Johnson, in addition to the prize winning bust, showed a green porcelain bust of a child, a terra cotta statuette of a malden, "Pray," and photographs of several of his creations, including one which was a gold medal winner at the San Francisco Art Association exhibit. Incidentally it is announced that the prize winning bust, "Sammy," has been purchased for $250 by Mrs. Lillian A. Alexander, wife of Dr. Ernest R. Alexander of 234 West 190th street, New York City. Many other of the exhibits found purchasers, including Richard Lundsey's "Boat and Bridge," bought by Dr. George Chester Booth. It is announced that this year's success warrants the continuation of the effort and it will be repeated in 2022. The exhibit, it is hoped, will "creat a new cultural work in the work of the Negro artist as a contribution to American culture." THE MUSEUM OF THE ART OF THE NORTHWEST COURT ORDERS FORECLOSURE SALE OF MASONIC TEMPLE AND SITE ON WEST 144th ST Under an order of foreclosure and sale from the Supreme Court, County of New York, made December 22, 1927, and amended January 9, 1928, the referee, Judge John Palmieri, has ordered the sale of the uncompleted Masonic Temple building and site on 144th street, near Seventh avenue, property of the Prince Hall Temple and Home Association, Inc., the holding company for the Prince Hall Masonic Grand Lodge, State of New York, Daniel L. Teagle, grand master. This action follows the entering by the trustees, Joseph Sullivan, A. A. Schomburg and Harvey A. Williams, through their saturayne, Oliver D. Williams of 67 Wall street, a lil pendens in the County Clerks office on September 7, 1927, after which the contractors, Bernard Knopy, H. J. DePasso & Co., of 156 East 47th street filed a builder's lien for $90,955, the amount due the trustees already done. Attorney Williams secured the final order, for foreclosure and sale from Judge Thomas C. T. Crain in the Supreme Court on January 9, and the referee issued notice of sale on the 11th. The sale is to be held on February 3. too stimulate him to aim for the highest standards of achievement, and to encourage the general public in the purchase of his work". Otto H. Kahn, whose art interests include being chairman of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Opera House Co., was an interested visitor on and spent quite some time in examining every exhibit. He expressed his interest and appreciation. Miss Rosa Nixon, supervisor of art in Washington's public schools, was another visitor, and she pressured her to inform her of an opportunity offered the artists to gain an appreciative audience. Another interested weekend visitor was Mrs. Laura Wheeler Waring, Harmon award winner, who is a teacher of art at Cheyney, Pa., State Normal School. She was accompanied by her husband and sister-in-law, Miss Waring. Labor Conference In WashingtonAddressed By Senator Copeland A. Philip Randolph and Roy Lancaster, general organizer and secretary-treasurer, respectively, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porfers, went to Washington to join Wm. H. Desverney, assistant general organizer, in the holding of a labor conference on January 8 and 9. The speakers included Neval H. Thomas of public schools; Charles L. Wesley and Abram L. Harris of Ryan, Frank Morrison, secretary A. F. L.; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, F. Morris Murray, Rev. H. P. Madford, S. L. McLaurith, Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Frederick Haller, Charles Thomas and Laurence Todd. Senator Royal S. Copeland spoke at the opening meeting, and Mr. Randolph gave the keynote address. Following this conference, Messrs. Randolph, Lancaster and Desverney left for Chicago to attend a council of strategy, tacies and policy on January 12 by Brotherhood officials. Other officials attending are Special Organizer Frank H. Crosswaird Field Organizer S. G. Grain, from New York headquarters office; Bennie Smith field organizer; M. P. Webster, Chicago field organizer; and E. J. Bradley, St. Louis field organizer. The aim of the council is to consolidate forces for the intensive organization and action leading up to the hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission on January 21. as public auction, at the Exchange Salesroom, 50 Vesey street, at 12 o'clock, by Jos-ph P. *Day*, auctioneer. As explained by attorney for the trustees, this action is taken for protection of the bondholders, as the building operations have long since been at a standstill and there is an apparent inability on part of the Printer Hall Temple and Home Association, Inc. to pay the interest due bondholders on their bonds. Just what will accrue to the bondholders out of this sale remains to be seen, as the approximate amount of the lien which is said to be satisfied is $6,627 25, with interest from November 26, 1927, with costs and allowances amounting to $50,655, with interest from December 2, 1927, together with expenses of the sale. Taxes, assessments and water rates total $250 The builder's lien of $90,955. it is thought, will take precedence over the bondholder's claims, though this may be decided otherwise. There is every probability that the builder, Mr. Knopp will take the necessary steps to protect the financial interest of his firm. He is represented by Attorney Editz Hulse. Special Course At Shaw For Country Ministers Raleigh, N. C. On the first school day of the new year there began at Shaw University the special six weeks course for muni- turs. The men come from the final section of the state and always enter upon their period of special study with the greatest enthusiasm. About twenty-five men enrolled in the Divinity School, and Dean Pegues, Rev Mr Tulley and their assistants are very busy. The Baptist forces in the state look forward to the meeting that is to be held in Raleigh next August of the State Baptist Convention, the Woman's State Baptist Convention and the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. organiza- tions. The occasion will be the sixtieth anniversary of the State Convention, and it is hoped that 500,000 will be raised for Shaw University and secondary Baptist schools.

The outstanding conclusion reached was that economic independence is the basis of all progress in social work among Negroes. Attention was focused on the courts of New York City and the Nyeroes relation between an able address by James H. Hobert, executive secretary of the New York Urban League. "In the Juvenile Court," said he, in opening the conference, "colored children constitute over 8.5 per cent. Our boys comprise 20 per cent of those in the Toms. Over 30 per cent of the boys at the House of Refuge are colored. A study just completed by the New York Times等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等等 Bernard I. Pasean chief prosecution officer of the Children's Court, blamed juvenile crime to laxity of parents, Poverty, congestion and tentations, such as autos, the movies and the lack of parental control were some of the causes he named. Apathy of Race Leaders. A. R. Henderson, secretary of the committee on city prisons of the Public Education Association, and Frederick Helline, superintendent of the House of Refuge, claimed that their cases are largely children born in the South or children of southern or foreign parents. Samuel A. Gibbs, probation of fier, declared that there is apathy and indifference on the part of Negro leaders. "In six years," said he, "only three Negro ministers have been seen in the Family Court, and two of these came 'to exact money, only one to render service.'" Robert S. Abbott, editor and publisher of The Chicago Defender was a special visitor at the conference. Thursday afternoon, Mr. Abbott delivered a brief address in which a contrast was drawn between the Negro and that adopted countries like Brazil toward the darker races. Problems of the Negro worker were discussed by A. J. Muster, director of Brookwood Labor College, and Ira DeA. Reid, industrial secretary of the New York Urban League, Bruno Lasker, editor The Inquiry, presided. Porters Loyal To Pullman Co. Denounce Randolph and Union Porters Loyal To Pullman Co. Denounce Randolph and Union Washington, D. C.—The Loyal Pullman Porters Club had as its special guest at an elaborate banquet on January 10, Perry Parker, grand chairman, Pullman Porters Beneficial Association of America, Inc., who was in the city on business. The banquet was served at Harrison's Cafe, 455 Florida avenue northwest. H. W. Lucas, local chairman, was in charge of arrangements, assisted by D. O Smith, vice chairman, M. Robbins, secretary; R. G. Hanson, treasurer, and S. H. Webb musical director. The menu comprised fruit cocktail, celerity, stuffed olives, tomato bisque croutons, half fried milk-fed spring chicken, mashed potatoes, green peas, lettuce and tomato salad, hot rolls, coffee, cocoa, Harrison's special ice cream, cigars, salted nuts. Chairman Lucas introduced the Rev M Robbins as toastmaster, and J. N Aden gave the welcome address, to which the guest of honor responded. Three-minute speeches were made by Inspector C. C. Webb and W K Banks and by J. H Hammond. Special musical numbers were rendered by the Pullman Porters String Orchestra and the P. P B. A. Quartet. The club, said to be composed of 95 per cent of the Pullman porters of the Washington district, is reported as being truly satisfied and loyal to the Pullman Co., and antagonistic to the efforts of A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the porters union. This was shown in a set of resolutions offered by the local officers and unanimously adopted: That we do denounce Randolph and the Union. It is detrimental to the welfare and success of the Pullman Porters, and we are entirely satisfied with the treatment that we are receiving from the hands of the company that has so lonely, sacred us and our families. That we do pledge our sincere support and allegiance to the Pullman Company and we will put forth our best efforts, and work for the best interests of the company, and for the betterment of the service. That these resolutions be printed in the daily press and copy be sent to the general offices at Chicago, Ill. H. W. LUCAS, Chairman, A. CUMBER, Secretary JOHN HAMMOND, Treasurer Jacksonville Mayor Threatens Randolph With Jail Sentence Jacksonville Mayor Threatens Randolph With Jail Sentence It is announced from the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters' headquarters, 2311 Seventh avenue, New York City, that the southern tour which had been arranged for A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, had been cancelled by reason of the attitude of the mayor of Jacksonville, Fla. who refused permission for Randolph to speak in that city. Railroad Man Was in Misery Railroad Man Was in Misery "I was a sick man—could hardly go to work at all," says Mr. Chas. E. Parker, of Charleston, Ill.

I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up till I took a phone call. I got back to my work. I am a miloader and my work is hard. "I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I am 52 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught.

Although Mr. Randolph declared he was ready to test the mayor's attitude, citizens of Jacksonville advised against doing so. It is believed that Pullman Co. officials in Florida are responsible for this un-American antagonism against the Brotherhood. Eight months ago, Beinie Smith, field organizer, was forced to leave Jacksonville after being hounded by police on the charge of circulating incendiary literature, his offense being selling the Messenger Magazine, which has been sold in Jacksonville for ten years.

The fact that the Democratic National Convention has been called to meet at Houston, Texas, next June, shows that the South has made up its mind to accept Governor Smith of New York as its candidate for the Presidency. It also indicates that Governor Smith has convinced the South that he will prove an acceptable candidate to that section, despite his religious faith and his being ineligible to membership in the Ku Klux Klan. In his letter read at the Jackson Day dinner at Washington, the Governor suggested the kind of platform that the party should adopt and presumably upon which he would like to run. It has no opportunity to increase its present building capacity in the neighborhood where its church work is prosecuted, even if the work demanded such enlargement. It has therefore been suggested that a system of church extension be attempted in Harlem, so as to carry the benefits of the church to neighborhoods that lack churching facilities. This could be done through the means of mission chapels for adults and community settlements for the younger generation In his proposal that the party draft a platform in advance of the convention, the Governor outlined a course of policy calculated to attract popular support. In calling for non-interference in the affairs of other nations, he opposed the aggressive action assumed by the Coolidge administration in Nicaragua, where the lie of the United States marines appear to have been needlessly sacrificed, and the natives truthlessly slaughtered. Pronouncing against class legislation in the interest of any group, he has placed himself in opposition to farm relief legislation. As he had little support to expect from the Middle West anyhow, this probably will not affect his chances. PROHIBITION AND LYNCHING. According to Dr. Kelly Miller, professor of sociology at Howard University, prohibition is responsible for the reduction of the number of lynchings during the recent years. This statement was made in a letter to the editor of the Washington Post, in which Dr. Miller inserted that lynching reached its height in 1892, when there were two hundred and twenty-five murdered by mobs. One hundred of these were white. Since that year the number has decreased, at the rate of about twenty a year, it being more marked among the whites. During the past forty years it is claimed that something like one thousand whites and three thousand Negroes have died at the hands of the mob. Work of this kind might well enlist the support of such self-sacrificing workers as those who wiped out a mortgage of sixty thousand dollars in four years. It may well prove a harder job than the giving of tithes of one's earnings, because it requires the element of personal service, but its rewards will be greater in that it will mark the turning point for the youths whom it may reach'. It will mean the gathering in of new recruits for the work of the church, which after all requires a constant influx of members to justify its existence. Demanding the minimum of interference by the Federal Government with "local habits" will find favor with those opposed to prohibition enforcement, as well as the advocates of lynching and mob law in the South, who fear such legislation as the Dyer bill. The liberal sentiment of the North and East, in such states as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut, will rally to the suggestion that anti-liquor laws might be so modified as to conform to local option. The Solid South would find comfort in a Federal policy that would not seek to interfere with such local customs as lynching, peonage, suppression of the suffrage and mob law in general. Let Abyssinian and the other churches of Haglem take up the work of church extension among those to whom the church is as yet unknown. Dr. Miller is convinced that this decline in lynching is due primarily to restriction in the use of infosxicating beverages. He claims that a careful study of the figures will show that it has followed closely the rise of prohibition laws in the Southern states. He continued: STANDING THE COLD. When the average New Yorker finds the thermometer has dropped down to eight or ten degrees above zero, he considers it cold enough to warrant nuffling up in ulster and wool-lined gloves and ear tabs, if he has to stay long out of doors. Cold weather in Minnesota means twenty or twenty-four degrees below zero, which was what the thermometer registered in Minneapolis and St. Paul the first part of January. And yet the colored people in that section of the country stand such extremes just as well as the whites. Mexican labor has been imported to the country districts of the Northwest in large numbers, and it is argued that if the Mexicans can stand the climate Southern colored workers can do the same. The South, where the Negro mainly resides and where the bulk of lynchings occur, had enacted local and state prohibition long before the adoption of the eighteenth amendment. In 1920, the number of lynchings had dropped to 61, and since that time, under Federal prohibition, it has fallen below 20. It is perfectly natural that free flowing liquor would' add to the frenzy of the mob. Whenever an outbreak of any kind occurred in a community, in antip prohibition days, the police authorities would first order the closing of all saloons. The Smith platform has been adroitly contrived to appeal to the outstanding weaknesses of both the North and the South. It strives to bring the Democratic party back in line under the old slogan of State rights, where each commonwealth would control its internal affairs with the least amount of Federal regulation possible. Many of the Southern states have departed from this theory of late years in order to grab off Federal appropriations for specific functions that should be performed by the states. The effort to force prohibition upon those states where popular sentiment did not favor it, also helped to break down state sovereignty. As prohibition was largely instigated by the South for enforcement in the North, it may be hard for the latter to return to the theory of State rights. Lynching cannot be isolated by itself and treated as a separate evil. It is but a symptom of the spirit of lawlessness with which the American people are afflicted. The cure calls for systemic, and not symptomatic treatment. This most virulent form of lawlessness shows itself, though with not so great vehemence, in the disregard of the fourteenth, fifteenth and eighteenth amendments. A long time resident of Minneapolis writes us that it was so cold there, that it froze all the dampness in the atmosphere. The wind was high but non-penetrating. This correspondent argued that cold is an astringent, and that the astringent action of the cold on the skin drives the surface or venous blood to the heart. The heart thus acted upon beats faster and the blood in the arteries is impelled to move faster. That action causes friction, which in turn produces heat. And that, he says, is the secret of how people can stand such low temperatures without suffering any inconvenience. This is why persons from milder climates can stand the cold of the Northwest. We think the learned jprofessor is inclined to give too much credit to prohibition, which after all was only adopted in the South to deprive the black man of his liquor, while the whites continued to imbibe their corns juice and white mule without interference. There is too little real enforcement of prohibition in the South, to affect the question of lynching one way or the other, unless it has been rendered more difficult to obtain the requisite quantity of alcoholic stimulants to work a willing mob up to the frenzy point of murdering an unarmed man guiltless of any crime but his color. As the situation stands, it looks as if the South had captured Smith, at the same time that the Governor captured the South. What the extreme East and the West have to say about the matter will appear later. The old saying about politics making strange bedfellows will be aptly illustrated in a Democratic National convention, meeting in Texas, with the leading candidate for the Presidency a typical New Yorker, standing on a platform of State rights, including the right to regulate liquor laws in the North and suffrage and lynching in the South. The decrease of lynching in the South has been brought about by a number of causes working in the same direction, some internal and others external. First, among these should be considered the creation of a wholesome sentiment among thinking Southerners, many of them editors and State officials, who have not hesitated to denounce the evil. This attitude may have been stimulated by the introduction of the Dyer bill, and the anti-lynching campaign carried on by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. At any rate the better class of Southerners are not advocates of lynching, at least not openly. They are beginning to realize that lynching is a bad habit that does not hesitate to cross the color line, like the whipping of women by the Ku Khuy. We fear that Dr Miller went too far in crediting prohibition with being solely responsible for the decrease of lynching. The Volstead act may have made it a little harder for the mob to prime itself to the murder pitch before going into action, but that is all. There has been a great change in the attitude of the public toward lynching, due largely to missionary work by such papers as the New York World in the North and the Columbus Enquirer-Sun in the South. With the increase in the ranks of such journals and greater vigilance on the part of state and local authorities, the lynching of black men accused of crime will probably be taken away from the hands of the mob. Whether the trials in court will be any nearer rendering justice remaining to be seen. The Northwest, and Minnesota in particular, have become the center of a great canning industry, which aims to supply the people of the great cities with foodstuffs. To supply the farm products for this industry keeps the Minnesota farmers busy and they are assured of a ready market for all they can raise at good prices. The opportunities offered in this section, for black farmers from the South have been pointed out before, but few of them go that far north. Consequently the Mexicans are coming in by scores and eventually will establish themselves as owners of prosperous farms. The task before Governor Smith of reconciling the conflicting elements in the Democratic party, that he needs to secure the nomination, is not an easy one. He is in the position of a juggler on a tight rope, where one misstep means a nasty fall. OBJECTS FOR CHURCH WORK. When Abyssinian Baptist Church burned its mortgage last week, as a sign that it had paid off its existing indebtedness, the question at once arose as to what new task should enlist the activities of its workers. It has become a saying among many preachers, that a church without debt is a dead church, simply because the congregation have no active necessity to urge them on to labor to meet the interest and to wipe out the principal. So, as fast as a church debt is paid, the sagacious pastor and his advisers formulate some new venture or extension that will enlist the energies of the church workers into other avenues. This prevents the membership from lapsing into a state of stagnation, which might breed internal dissatisfaction. Another industry, that is being developed in the Middle West, is the making of sugar from corn. The first corn sugar was manufactured in Keokuk, Iowa, last October. This sugar is not a table product, but is light yellow in color and lumpy. It is used in the manufacture of soft drinks and in canning. It is suggested that our farmers should spread out more over the country and enter into the production of crops of this kind. Farming is an essential industry and while the rewards may not at times appear to be lucrative, the farmer is always assured of a living and independence of the factory bell. With the increased demands for such standard crops as corn and beets for the making of sugar, the average farmer is sure of a ready market for all he can produce. The cold weather of the North need have no terrors for him, as men and women of vigorous hab- In the case of a church like Abyssinian, it already has its own workers in the foreign mission field, whom it sustains in their efforts to carry the gospel to the heathen, and at the same time improve their physical and moral condition.

HEADLEY, writing from the Hotel Juliano, Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana, says "Dear Mr. Moore; I have read of your well-earned victory in the late election. I wish to congratulate you, although I am far from the scene of the struggle, and my letter somewhat belated. May you fill the position of Alderman of the magnificent City of New York with credit to yourself and your race." Women's Federated Clubs—(Telegram)—Hon. Fred R. Moore, Aldermanic Chamber, City Hall, New York, N Y. The women of the Federated Clubs of New York City wish to extend to you our heartiest congratulation and sincere wishes for a most successful term of office.—JULIA P. H. COLEMAN, President. From California—Department of Justice, San Francisco, Cal.; My dear Mr. Moore: Permit me to extend to you my hearty congratulations upon your splendid victory. The colored people of America are fortunate in having a man of your principles represent them in the administration of affairs in the greatest city in the world. I trust it may serve as a stepping stone to the National House—WILLIAM C. MATTHEWS, Special Assistant to the Attorney General. From London, Eng.—'The Original 4 Harmony Kings.; Dear Mr. Moore; I have wanted for sometime to write and congratulate you on your recent election as Alderman of New York and to say that I am delighted indeed to know that our people were loyal and stood by you. Though in England for the past two years, and when in New York, I knew of your splendid work in trying to do your best for the uplift of our race. Your constant fight against bootleggers in Harlem won for you many friends of the type that has the race's interest at heart and I personally have admired your wonderful spirit. As the New Year enters may it bring you many, many happy blessings and may it be the most prosperous and happiest year in all your life.—IVAN H. BROWNING, Manager. Westchester Co. Federation-Honored Sir: Now that the din of applause at your election to the Board of Aldermen has somewhat subsided, the voice of the women of Westchester County may be heard. We congratulate New York City that it has awakened to civic consciousness and with it intelligent selection. We exact upright and sincere administration for the good of all and we expect great achievement at your hands. Great issues are at stake and it rests with you to aid in seeing that they are met in the spirit of God-fearing righteousness on which the principles of our national government were founded—ELIZABETH K. BRAY, President, DOROTHY SCOTT, Secretary. From Cheapego—The Rev. J. FRANCIS ROBINSON, general field secretary emeritus and assistant and publicity director, Underwriters' Campaign, National Baptist Sunday School Board, writes under date of January 11 as follows: Dear Friend: You have received so many congratulations, and good wishes of a closer friendship than mine, that perhaps this tardy one is altogether out of place and non-essential. But nevertheless I feel constrained to utter them. So here it is, Bro. Fred, and fellow craftsman, here's my earnest and heartfelt congratulations, making me feel that now my old home city is worth living in. Knowing you as I do, for over twenty-five years, I feel that the voters of your district knew what they were doing when selecting you for Alderman honors. You have always been loyal, faithful and true to every interest and principle of the race, and there is no mistaking that you merit the high honor now given you in the great municipality of the greatest American city. May God give you strength, health and long life to stand up and help all the people in your district to get justice. Training Vs. Experience Editor of The New York Age Is the time ripe for a merger of Negro business enterprises? Dr Emmett J. Scott has stated that the many small business enterprises of the race should combine, in order to obtain the best results. His argument seems logical, but there is one thing lacking. Where can we find a man to manage this merger? We have scores of race men who have minds, but not wisdom; they have intellect, but not knowledge; they have power to discern, but not judgment; they have adaptability, but not ability; consequently, they would fail to handle a merger successfully. Wisdom, knowledge, discretion, judgment, ability, character—these are attainments, not natural endowments. We have hundreds of one-sided business men who absolutely could not handle a merger of business enterprises. They are not trained to be one hundred per cent business managers. They are not ripe yet. Rose can say in he "Social Contract" "It is not always easy to discern when a people is mature, and if the time is anticipated, the labor is abortive." This applies to our business men. They have not as yet reached big business maturity. American business men have learned that there is amazing power in organization. We, too, know this but at present are unable to put it into practice. in big business. It will be impossible for us to merge our smaller business units, until we have men possessing a very high degree of business management ability. We have the capacity to manage the largest business corporation in the world, but we must first learn the game. Business management is a skill in which the unskilled player is always upset. But in spite of all the unfavorable factors, I have supreme confidence that a few pioneers will emerge from the wilderness, holding aloft their torches which will light every camp-fire around Ethiopia. Business is a science which must be learned before success can come. Let us look at this thing in a common sense way. Our business men do not know what it is all about. Too often, colored people want to give the management of some important business enterprise to men of "experience". You say, "That is all right." But wait. Why in the name of common sense should a, man of "experience" be given the job as business manager? Why in the name of high heaven is this job not given to a man of training and ability? Right here the race must learn its most valuable lesson. Yes, we must learn it if we shall ever hope to compete with world leaders in the busy, efficient, hustling commercial world. Here is the lesson quoted from "What is is called 'experience' among us is merely long service. It may not be the intelligent service. It may not be successful experience. Furthermore, it is the experience of one man. He has done a thing his way for so many years, but he does not know the way of anybody else. On the other hand, the man of training studies all the ways and selects the best one. The man of training studies the history of all ways and therefore can avoid the mistakes of them all. "Have you noticed that an 'experience' farmer does not produce on all farms, that train farmer produces? We have schools in order that a boy in a few years can 'experience' the history of the centuries. Moreover, if that boy is attentive he will learn in a short course what his father did not learn in forty years." My attention was directed to a certain man who wrote a letter to a friend to help him get a certain job. In this letter he stated that his qualifications for the job were that he had had "thirty years experience." But he did not seem to realize that he had not one day's experience in the job he wanted. And to our eternal sorrow and regret we have too often made the mistake of putting "experienced" men in office instead of trained men. Where shall we find the man to manage the merger of a number of Negro business enterprises? That man must be conversant, with the three watchwords in the World of Negro Business, namely, Elimination, Consolidation and Cooperation—but more than that he must have at his finger tips successful experience in good management, organization, efficiency, short-outs, savings, profits. Rev WILLIAM W TODD Washington, D. C. Reader For 20 Years Editor of The New York Age Enclosed please find and check for two for one year's subscription to The New York Age. We have read your valuable paper for some twenty years or more and would feel lost without it. We wish the editor and staff of The Age a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous New Year. REV. and MRS. B. J. CLARY. Freeport, N. Y. HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Open Your Windows "Health blows through open windows." You have probably heard this often. The chances are, however, that you haven't thought much about it. Very likely you accepted it rather casually as being true, but did not give much thought to the statement. But there are good reasons why "health blows through open windows." All living things need fresh air to grow and develop properly and to be healthy. We need fresh air because our lungs need it for healthy respiration which depends upon a constant interchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Our skin needs it to Lassell, headache vertigo and similar conditions, which come Discussing the tendency to offer a plea of insanity as a defence in the prosecution of criminals, 'the Birmingham Reporter' said: One cannot be blamed for pleading in society to save himself from the horrors of an awful death. That is more natural and reasonable than the revolting crimes which make this pleading necessary. A system of justice that makes allowance for temporary insanity and leaves the question of fact as regards it to be decided by a jury all but illiterate is taking a long chance on protecting society against its worst criminals. Most people have some harmless form of insanity, which, under trying circumstances, may become violent. Mental diseases have always been quite as common as physical diseases and much more subtle. Most moral delinquency is remotely or directly caused by mental unsoundness as well as most physical inefficiency is caused by physical unsoundness. We have the Hickmans, the Leopolds and Loebs, the Remuses and thousands of others too numerous to mention whose crimes would teach an important lesson were it not for the commercial aspect that renders them exactly the opposite in effect. The fact that a large percentage of all criminals are insane raises the question of the responsibility for one's sanity to a degree of control common in the ordinary affairs of life's routine. The difficulty of striking the line of demarcation between malicious intent with motive and vengeance for imagined wrongs or any kind of gain, and irresponsible conduct, usual or unusual, incited in associative contact, is tremendously increased by the present proneness to all kinds of mania in much of the youth and adult life. If the mania is to be excused society must suffer without- remedy from its own poisons. The Alabama editor raises the question of what shall be done to prevent conditions from breeding a rate of Hickmans before the close of this century. The suppression of lynching and mob law might help to that end. Under the heading, "By Then: Slang You Shall Know them," the Des Moines Bystander printed a collection of sayings by a number of local celebrities. We reproduce a few examples of "English as she is spoke" in Iowa: Dr. Wm. J. Ritchee: "She's got to come my way." A. I. Trotter: "That's the baby." Jimmy Mitchell: "Jes' getting long nicely." Jess McGuire: "I don't mean perhaps." Everett Clay: "Ain't that a whistle berry?" Harry Hammitt: "I can't see you to-day, brother." Mrs. Lillian Edmunds: "Well did you ever?" Walter Benning: "Well, Well, Well." Virginia Dixon, "Not a thing left. Have a beer?" Art Esters: "Well you see it's like this." Anna Mae Carter: "O be gosh!" J. A Bailey: "Well I'll be darn." Mrs. Dalza Hammitt: "How do they get that way?" H. S. Curry: "Haven't seen you for some time brother." Mrs. Flossie Wilson: "That's too tight." Mrs. A P Trotter "Dimensions from the A K" Mrs. Birdie Winn "My God!" Prol. Oliver: "Can you beat it?" Mrs. Azalia Mitchell: "I just think that's awful." McKinley Brooks: "Gee Whizz." Geo. Edmunds: "Hell no." We fear the Western editor had to do some explaining after this issue appeared. In rating the election of Harry E. Davis to the "most important and highest salaried job ever given a member of the race" in Cleveland, the Cleveland Gazette said State Representative Harry E. Davis was elected a member of the City Civil Service Commission, salary $3,000, by a bare majority of the new City Council, Monday night. Two "Negro" Councilmen (Gregg and George) came that near causing his defeat and the loss of the best position our people have ever held in this city. Davis got 13 votes; former Councilman Bernard E. Orlikowski, received 10 James I Heban and Miss Rose Morarity, each got 1. The decision came on the first ballot. As predicted, the deciding vote for Davis was cast by Councilman Clashorne George. But it was contrary to his own wishes that he vot- from being in a close room have been found to be due to lack of ventilation of the skin, rather than to chemical changes in the air. These are some of the reasons why we must have our livingrooms and offices well ventilated. There are other reasons. Fresh air also helps us to overcome disease. We all know it is one of the most important factors in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. It is equally important in building up one's general resistance to disease. It helps to keep one healthy. Always sleep with your bedroom window open wide. Night air is as good as day air. Get your share of fresh air at all times. ed for him. He charged that the Republican organization, by sponsoring. Davis for the commission, was relieving itself on the responsibility of backing him for the state senate. Suppose it was. That did not lessen George's duty to the race, to vote for him. It was not, however, because Davis had refused to again stand as a candidate for the Legislature. "I honestly believe that the people of this state and community, and particularly the interests of my own people would be much better protected by the presence of Mr. Davis in the legislative halls than by his election to the Civil Service Commission." George said. Dr. E. J. Gregg, whose decision also had been a matter of doubt, cast his vote for Orlikowski, declaring that Davis should be "elevated to the State Senate and not demoted to the Civil Service Commission." In his editorial columns Editor Harry C. Smith severely criticized both councilmen for, their course in this matter. The Carolina Times, published at Durham, N. C., in its news columns announced the following policy of exclusion and segregation forced upon a moving picture house: Because of the bad, conduct of the white patrons of the Wonderland Theatre during the Midnight Ramble held last week the manager has decided to refrain from selling tickets to them in the future. Although show-folks from the white theatres will be allowed to witness any performance, they will be given a selected spot designated by the manager for any evening they may care to go there. In this manner he hopes to curb the bad spirit that prevailed due to the action of several whites who attended the show last week. Mr. Logan should be commended for his decision to segregate all but the show folks, as a reocusance of the episode of last week may lead to a bad feeling between the two races. That such drastic measures had to be adopted is not creditable to the whites of Durham, nor to the police authorities who should have repressed the disturbers of the peace. The Gold Mind "is the peculiar title of a monthly publication hailing from Boston, devoted to news and social notes, and all matters helpful to the economical progress of the race." A recent number announced a testimonial benefit to Deacon Minor F. Hamlin, with the following tribute to his work: His benevolence and sacrificial disposition in behalf of those who have appealed to him for aid's urgent responsibility for his present incapacity. He is one who should have been given the headlines of the press. In this particular he has been intentionally neglected, that the unsuccessful might shine in the glory of his achievements. He has the distinction of a personal acquaintance with the president and governor, senators and representatives of the general court of Massachusetts. He was personally acquainted with Mr. Augustus Thorndike, the former bank commissioner of Massachusetts, and the father of the Loycey Square Savings Bank movement. Eal Mr. Thorndike remained in office, no group of colored men could have traded away the Savings Bank; for a Cooperative Bank on the propaganda that the bank promoters were "Poor Ignorant Colored People." The Gold Mind is apparently after the dollars represented in the sign displayed on either side of its title heading. The Cincinnati Bulletin, which appears to have reached its second volume, laid the following good word to say for "Watch Meetings." In this year as in others, people especially Negro people will assemble in their churches on the last night of the year to pray, sing and watch the outgoing year and welcome the incoming one. This is a very good custom it is the reverence that would seem to attend these meetings could be kept alive by the individual participants during the year. It is not enough to talk religion. We must live religion The Negro people are regarded as highly religious in their inclinations, but lack of sincerity in the main is causing a breaking down in the general beneficent results that should attend a people who so powerfully and publicly claim to have renounced the ways of the world in favor of higher and spiritual things. The watch meetings are alright as the watchers will catch the spirit of the thing and hold on to it as the heart come and go. Not for a day a week, but throughout their lives. Hypocrisy gives place to sincerity. Let the hypocrite get out of the way of the growth of religion and the church. Let the church realize as never before, that it is not the multitude of hypocrites that will bring the "sweet-smelling saints," but rather, it is the "Gideon's Band" that have been chosen for that purpose. If ever any people needed to watch it is the Negro people. Let the spirit of the watch meetings live forever, and this year, as you watch, pray also that the hypocrite will have enough consideration to remove himself from the influence and sanctity, that were not meant for him "Watch and pray that we enter not into temptation." That was a pretty good lay secre man as a prelude to the making and breaking of good resolutions. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Mother Zion Church "Vision and Services," Acts 26:19, was Dr. Brown's sermon subject at Mother Zion Church on Sunday morning.

Albury, 110 West 137 street; Pyrian Garner, 310 West 147 street. St. Paul Bapt. Church The annual meeting of the church on last Monday night showed the church in a healthy condition, both financially and spiritually. The new year ends the church lined up with the program for the year, in which more is undetaken than at any time in the history of the church. The officers that were to be elected were elected without a dissenting vote, and everything was perfectly harmonious. Wednesday night the pastor gave a talk on the Church for the young people, and they, in turn, seemed to have taken on new life. Friday night the first covenant meeting of the year, there were quite a number of members out, and this was the time to give expression to their attitude toward each other and the work of the church purposes to do. It was grateful to hear their expressions. Sunday the pastor preached mornin- g and evening, and Liechtenstein John a Doughty spoke in the tent- onion and the Missionary Society held a meeting which was greatly en-JOved. The Lord's Supper was administered in the evening to a large audience. The news of the illness of Deacor Mack-Thomas brought sorrow to the church. He is bearing up nobly. Mt. Calvary M. E. Church 10 a. m. Junior Church—A large number of children were out and the newly organized choir gendered special music which was enjoyed by all. 11 a. m. preaching service—Dr. Millard A. Robinson of the New York City Society of the M. E. Society, covered a stirring sermon, from 9:28-10:36, "Mountain Top and Valley Experiences of the Christian Life." The congregation filled the auditorium. 2 p. m. Sunday School—Everything being favorable including the weather, the lecture room was packed during the hour of classes. We had two visitors from the public schools of the city, who spoke words of encouragement$^2$ to the children. 5 p. m.

The subject for the hour taken from the 3rd, 4th and 5th chapters of the book, was "Channels through which grus appeals to the people of India." 8 p. m. Evening service—In the absence of the pastor the assistant pastor, Rev. A Watkins, delivered a splendid address. Grace Church of Harlem The week dawned in splendor upon Grace Church. A fine day brought many people. The service proceeded with reverence. It was a long service, but interesting from beginning and a deal of constructive humor. The ritual, the good singing, the careful scripture reading, the intelligent prayer were robbed of dignity only by the steady tread of late worships, some of whom did not stop for a scripture. The usheres were ladies. The choir sang an anthem with a beautiful tenor solo, and Dr. Luckenbach a short health talk that was a gem. The Rev. A. C. Garner preached a magnificent sermon from the text "No man cared for my 'Soul'" Psalms 141. The minister was forceful, vettible and able. This session was the ground of an unhappy feeling which the writer shared. The church became desirous striven and the preacher made an ear appeal for decisions to enter the home for the "cure of souls" Candidates for membership were Mrs. Clara Pinkney, Mrs. Rhodie Freeland, Miss Melyen Freeland, Miss Ophelia Morant, Mrs. E. Woods Grant and Geo. A. Haley, Stanley Lloyd and Geo. A. Haley, Stanley Lloyd and Mrs. Joseph Thomas, was baptised. The gregorian sisters, Miss Lillian Piligims, Mrs. Ethel Harrison, Fred McMillan and Donald, Brathwaite. A revival led by the Rev. W. H. Dean of Pittsburgh, Pa., begin Thursday night, January 19. The Education Committee has arranged for the opening of community work on a larger scale. A nursery, kindergarten, and night school for adults, with the Boy Scouts and clubs, will make Grace Church a live theater in the social recreational and moral life of the community. Miss Olive J. Jer, chair director, was absent in Newport, R. L., due to the death of her brother, Paul. The funeral of Mrs. Susan Topping, mother of William Patterson, was conducted by Rev. A. C. Garner from 'Grace Church Monday, January 16, at 1 p.m. Her home was in N. A. Y., but she was temporarily residing with her son at 145 West 188 street. Her son, William Patterson, and her sister, Mary M. Coss, survive her. Refuge Church of Christ The morning service was well attended. Eld. Smallwood Williams of Washington, D. C., filled the pulpit day. He preached from Luke 14. 27. He thouseover doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. "The point we note here," said Eld. Williams, "is that greatness and courage of Jesus as a teacher, that His speech was the same to the multitude from the stand-point of firmness as it was to His smaller circle, that we twelve. That is a man contrast between us and the religious leaders of to-day, when their church is small, many of their songs of Jesus they will adhere to, but quite contrary when the number composing their congregation increases. They are then quite lenient and speak and teach not the doctrines of Jesus, they deem offensive to the multitude therefore. He said, "Whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." "Some may take this 20th verse in the wrong light and say that Jesus advocates hatred between a person and their family, but not so: must have the divine inspiration to interpret the scripture. All terms which define the emotions or affections are essential. Natural affection is to be, as compares with the believer's devotedness to Christ, as it were hate. But in the Lord the natural affections are sanctified and lifted to the level of divine love. There are several requisite demands that follow the 27th verse, "Whoever doth not take his cross;" this is universal, takes on everyone inclusive, world-wide. He should exploit and emphatic; he just cannot be His disciple if you take not up the Cross, and come after Him. The only credential of discipleship we have is the Cross. Ed. Williams will be here throughout the week. ANNOUVEMENT—The Rev. Dr. Hayes of Mt. Olivev Baptist Church will preserve the 29th of January, at 3:30 p. m., for the increase of Attendance Guild of the Church of Christ. We cordially invite all to our service at 52-56 West 118th Street. Rush Memorial Church I "Borrowed . Religion" was the theme of Dr. Oliver's discourse at the 11 o'clock services last Saturdays morning. The text was taken from St. Matthew 25:8. We cannot allow ourselves to feel that we can live on the good which our forefathers attained. We must work out our salvation The gospel of Jesus Christ saves anyone anywhere, but he must not attempt to borrow religion Each individual must seek salvation for himself, repent, believe and obey for himself. In the evening, John A. Matthews preached on "The Glorious Gospel Committed to My Trust" 1st Timothy 1:11. Next Sunday at 3 p.m. Edgar Grey will address the members and friends of Rush Church on the subject: "The New Emancipation" Musical selection will be rendered by Johnson's Carolina Choir, A. M. Simpson, M. V. E. Dahne, barton, M. V. E. Dahne, cellist; P. E. Harris, violinist. This program under auspices of the Oliver Circle. Mrs. E. Hortense Warner is preside. At 8 o'clock, the Salmonnons' Protective Union, No. 1, will worship at this church. Dr. Oliver will present their annual thanksgiving sermon. First Emmanuel Church Pastor Bolden gave a sermon address preceding the communion Sunday morning. He said Believers in our Lord Jesus Christ the Laminamel should testify always concerning the truth (testify in their lives because experience confirms that Hijn as God the Almighty is the most convincing evidence of His presence and power in the world of humanity. He has left certain memorials in human consciousness and when believers are filled with the Holy Spirit there is a vitalizing force that emulates, from these memorial ideas that astains the reverent and the worshippers in the first of his priest Presence the first among these in the Feast, where He told all believers who accept the work of the Apostles and become their worthy successors, that to eat the bread and WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH drink the wine in accordance with His command, they do show forth His death until His coming again. And He commanded them to do this in remembrance of Him. This last statement of His shows among many things this very important thought, His child life, private life, public life, his inner life of emotions, impulses and passions would reveal, from that he was through the coming ages, that He was the Perfect, and Ideal Man and Very God in hypothetical union. And that as each succeeding generation obeyed the command and celebrated this Holy Feast the truth of His sacrificial death and His shed blood that cleanses us from sin; His presence the heavens in Him; the power of the Holy Spirit to enter the consciousness of believers and to help them to see and understand the building of the plan of the kingdom of God, in the world of humanity, would become an increasing reality. While the whole plan of God is eternal, as regards all things and manifestations of life, through our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel, it has been exalted to the position similar to share-holders and cooperators in the glorious unfoldment of humanity in the Holy. Therefore it is the duty of all who love Him, God the Almighty, to not only privately and together pray and adore Him in song, but to constantly as the opportunity cones, tell the Holy Him who know Him not, so that that Holy open their minds to the Holy Jesus teach and guide them into the truth. This should not be done looking for applause or approval of the masses, nor should it be done with a view THE NEW ABYSSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH, 138th Street, between 7th & L. L. R. & L. L.

There seems to be arising now among the civilized people and the countries called christian a bogus lamb in the realm of religious consciousness, and millions of people have been influenced by its tender serviceable attitude, but a few days ago this earthly, but professedly heavenly lamb," showed theologian from the pasture lands of Rome and the Geneva conferences, with the various groups of federated churches, and the whole of Protestantism hath heard claims from those who believe they are God's vice-regen upon the earth, that are shocking to any intelligent person or group to-day. And they have seen issued edicts that instead of making for the unity of our Lord the Emmanuel prayed for, it is our Lord the Emmanuel prayed hatred, destroys goodwill toward men and tends toward fanatical religious war. We who see this and realize its importance should arouse the people who think to set their faces like flint, and fix their eyes upon the Emmanuel God the Almighty, as is revealed to us in the four gospels of the Bible, and senses over to the Holy Spirit so that He may have His good pleasure in keeping alive in us the Christ Child, God the Almighty. This will give you a personal rich experience that will sustain you in trouble, sorrow and deliver you from a dead death. And our Lord the Emmanuel God will fill His 'promise that He will receive us unto Himself.'

Church The regular Sunday morning service for the third Sunday of it year was well attended by an unusually large crowd of members; friends. Good weather prevailing there, the theme of the main morning service was taken from the 4th chapter of Ephesias. The children's sermon was interesting to the children, as well as grown-ups. He spoke of the hardships existing among the miners of the mine, and he gave a verbal picture to the children how miners have to endure hardships in the mines in order to make a living and that we may enjoy the comforts of life. It was a sermon about miners to miners. The subject of the main theme of the WEEK in the Church was somewhat in simplicity to the sermon review of the book written by Bruce Barton. It is quite true said the pastor, that there are people today who severely criticize the church for no other reason than that they themselves are unable to canvass the church but look for all they can get out of it. The pastor discussed, "The Church and its Community."

Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Chturch Sunday, with its advantageous weather conditions, the call of worship was heard and answered by a large number of church goers in Brooklyn. This church was blessed with a large and enthusiastic congregation and followed carefully the sermon and the thrilled W. V. Brown, as he spoke with that deep, honest feeling that kindled emotion and thrilled all the chord of feeling in the Christian experience. And not only was the nature of the answer evident at the morning service but at all services during the day, and the partnership with a number of distinguished members was enjoyed. Holy communion was administered at three o'clock, the sermon being delivered by Rev. H. B. Norville. At eight o'clock Rev. A. L. Lightbord brought the message of peace and goodwill. Next Sunday, in connection with the regular religious services, promotion de will be observed in the Sunday service. The service was arranged with Dr. J. E. Moreland, ex-chairman of the 'national board of directors of the Y. M. C. A., as the principal speaker. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church "Our righteousness must be thorough, that is we must know for ourselves that we are converted, and we must have a spirit of good-will towards our yellow-man. We must have a spirit of good-will that spitfully use us." This was the outstanding thought of the pastor, Dr. edward晨星 Lyle, when he delivered his sermon at the morning hour. He was speaking on the theme, "The righteousness that admits to the kingdom." Dr. T-lery further stated that there are two kinds of righteousness. One that is outward and gives one a self-righteous attitude like the serbes are; the other, which is inward. This righteousness has certain elements. Among them are, that is, we must have purity, that is, the other elements are Trustfulness, Forgiveness, Praise and Love. We should remember that to be real Christian is a hard task, be we should be willing to so be for its worth the effort, for God will reward us. We must remember the God has a kingdom hooked up to each of us. In other words we must have our trials, tribulations and but one point more clear. Dr. Tyler stated we do not expect a horse to pull a far unless he is harnessed up. So it with the Christian, for we are having our last chance, as we are living under the dispensation of grace. Nine persons joined the church at the evening hour Dr. Tyler is livered the principal address on the topic, "The Negro and the A. M. E. Church." He stresses the thought that the A. M. E. Church early expression of race consciousness, and that when Richard Allast the A. M. E. Church it was evidence that he did not accept the logic of the white man that the Negro was inferior from a religious point of view. With the establishment of the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Church, the founders and their successors were confused with a problem they allowed the creation of a distinct Negro Church and that problem was material or financial, for the Negro does not have the financial resource of his white brother, but he avoided overforsight in his religious affairs. The great benefit of the Negro Church is that it serves the white American Negro for when white men get into Negro viewpoint he consults the ministers and Negro bishops and not the white bishops who preside over Negro churches. The Rev. R. M. H., Henderson spoke in a similar vein as Dr. Tyler. At the morning hour Henry S. Robinson, church clerk, started the movement for the purchase of a house in order that the young peo- FOR DESIGNING AND DRESSMAKING, Inc.

But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect and annual turning out of two or three hundred women, and women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most important and sought after.

Siloam Presbyterian Ch. The program of Siloam is most full. The fiscal church year is fast coming to its close. The message delivered at the morning hour by Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, was upon a ten thousand dollar bonfire of Scripture found in Acts 19:9. In his discourse the pastor brought out the majesty of the name of Jesus used by him who knows the power and grace of God. The evil of the world knows the true from the pretender. If we desire this power we must be true, be what we seem to be. What will give strength in religious, business and social contacts is sacrifice, a broken heart, true love. In all of us there is deception. In conclusion, all were urged to put on bonfire anything that makes one false to God and to each other. The following persons united with the church: Mrs. Rosa Forman, 151 Watkins street; Mrs. Ella Young Bunce, 264 Lexington avenue. The Bible School met at 1:15 p. m.

The tastor, Rev. James B. Addison brought a 'splendid message to the audience, where standing room was at a premium. The text was Job 12.9. "The righteous shall hold on to the hath clean hand shall be stronger stronger. Stress was laid on the ance of the saints and in this light the speaker showed the power which animates the Christian endurance and which gives to everyone who lives a perpetual place in an army where there are no retirements and no discharges, and in which many people grow stronger with age. Eight persons united with the church. The Concord choral sang as only a can. Something new seems to have come of Director L. H. Caldwell, and all the members of the choir. In the two weeks held as usual, The B. Y. P. U. had as a topic and lesson. "Do we need the church now?" Rev. Roy F. Hill president, led this meeting.

FLIT DESTROYS Moths, Roaches Bedbugs, Flies Other Household Insects YOUNG ERRINGTON KERR PLAYS HIS VIOLIN IN KING'S HALL, LONDON UNIVERSITY, AND WINS MUCH PRAISE London, England (Special Correspondence)—G. Errington Kerr a young violinist from New York City, U.S.A., who graduated with the degree of B.Sc. from the College of the City of New York in June, 1927, and came to London to study medicine at the London University, appeared in a recital of violin music on December 1, 1927, in King's College. Playing in the Great Hall of the College, and accompanied ably by Bruce Wendell, the young artist was greeted with an enthusiastic reception. The audience, which was the largest at the University in years, sat on benches desks and tables. It is usually said that the English are a conservative lot. The eager stamping, whistling and violent applause of the audience on this occasion, however, were an eloquent contradiction to this belief. This having been Mr. Kerr's initial appearance before an English audience, some had come for the love of art; others because a student of the University was playing; still others out of sheer curiosity. Nevertheless, he was greeted, as he made ready to play, with a silence that causes even the veteran recitalist to be nervous. The young virtuoso lacked sufficient numbers, as encounters, to feed the musical appetite of his captivated audience. The "New Troy," an art magazine, in a review of the concert by "Hy M." had this to say: "Mr. Kerr opened with Praeludium c Allegro (Pugnani-Kreisler), and followed with a Minuet in D by Popora, Mr. Kerr played with sympathy and feeling, and his execution was clean. If his tone had been a little stronger, the recital would have given me greater pleasure, but it is a good fault to err on the side of restraint. The Sarabande from Bach's Sonata in B minor was magnificently played. The audience was thoroughly appreciative, and the "Duet for One Violin," a work of intricate technique, which I suspect to be Mr. Kerr's own composition, received the applause it deserved. Hv. M.

While Mr. Claymes is practically adept at debit; he is otherwise well known, being a graduate of Howard and Yale Universities and a teacher in the New York public schools, both day and evening. For several years he is reported to have been a serious student of the art of singing under the guidance of his teacher and his repertoire is said to contain near ya dozen complete programs, made up of English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. Incidentally, it might be noted that Mr. Claymes is teaching Spanish, with the aim of imparting a knowledge of the English language to foreigners. The recital is under management of Henderson Hamilton Donald of 20 West 12th street, and an imposing of patrons is sponsoring whom who are musical, professional, religious and business leaders.

Principal H. A. Hunt introduced him to the students at chapel exercises, and after the students had rendered several Spirituals, Mr. Brierly addressed the express request to see the growth and progress of the school.

The General Education Board has pledged $100,000 to the $300,000 Building program at Fort Valley which includes the new academic ball and girls' industries building. The new academic building will be ready for occupancy in the early BARITONE --- By PERCIVAL, OUTRAM Lou Henry, trombone player, is responsible for the band now alternating with Arthur Gibbs at the Savoy, Fess Williams having gone on one of his usual juniars around the country to come back about the springtime to reeve in followers of the Savoy. This policy of the house seems to be productive, as it has been done repeatedly and must have been found advantageous. Young Mitchell had made a tryout for the Savoy job, secured it and was booked to go to work at a given date, when he was informed of some defection of certain members of the orchestra, and woul give him another hearing. At a subsequent tryout the orchestra did not measure up to the previous one, and his contract was cancelled. This caused Lou Henry to get the engagement. Only last week this columnist referred to the undesirable underland methods of certain musicians who are a detriment to the interests of the whole, and, if this job possibly have been given to a white orchestra such would have been the case. The Drake & Walker Co., now playing at the Lincoln Theatre, have gotten themselves entangled in the meshes of the, the Union. Sergeant-at-Arms Minton was sent to New Jersey last week to investigate a complaint that Drake & Walker were playing an "unfair" Drake, the leader of the orchestra and a number of Local 802, and was playing an engagement in the Orchem Theatre, which is alleged to be an "unfair house." Minton went over as stated, and we assume Mr. Drake will have to answer charges for his trying to "get away with it." Mr. George Barrere, eminent faustist, conductor of the Little Symphony, which the writer has been privileged to hear and enjoy, in an interview in a local paper segms to be making serious charges against some of the artists of New York. The complaint is rather coverly done, but nevertheless the observant reader can come to no other conclusion. Mr. Barrere undoubtedly must refer to high class conservatories, because artist that he is he could come in contact with other than musical conservatories of other cities, and therefore its conclusions are worthy of consideration from the right sources. Mr. Barriere state in *America today music is becoming petty commerce* He recommends a national conservatory, although he knows the arguments continually given against this kind of institution "Suppose a national conservatory once it were established, should nurse it with a gold" or "Mr. Barriere, I really cannot see that this would be much worse than some of the private practices openly established in our present commercial conservatories." Mr. Barriere says in *America* conservatories are free to students who can prove their ability, and what he, "as so many others, desires for America artistically is rather a change of soul than the establishment of any specific institution. A national conservatory would surely be better than many of the imported schools." We colored New Yorkers have been taught and believed that our prominent institutions were up to the highest standard of excellence and beyond reproach and have strained and sacrificed ourselves in many instances to send our young Americans to imbibe from the fountain head. Must we change our formularies? No, matter not as serious as appearance indicate by the alleged effusions of the crudite Mr. George Barrere. spring, and ground will be broken for the boys' dormitory sometime before that date.

This is something which the editor of this column should have done during the week of the ending of the old year. It is his acknowledgment of thanks to those persons who, during the past twelve months, have been interested enough in the topics of the column to express their opinions regarding the subjects contained therein. Some of these opinions have come orally, while others have come in writing; some have been of a critical nature while others have been of a complimentary character. But regardless of which type, the editor takes this occasion to thank one and all for the interest which they have displayed in his offerings. Editing a column on one particular subject, especially if the editor is fairly conversant with that subject, does not, as a rule, entail or present anything in the way of a problem. But for the past year or so, this has not been so with the writings of this column. His problem has been how to keep a middle ground in matters affecting those of whom he writes. And trying to write from the central point of this subject is analogous to trying to walk in the center of a road that is filled with vehicles traveling in opposite directions. Thanks, however, to the commonsense of most of those readers who are vocally connected with the subject matter of the column, they have appreciated the editors' efforts, as well as his position in the matter, although this has not deterred some of these from criticizing some of the articles that the column contained during the past year. But whether critical or laudatory, every columnist is pleased to know that his "stuff" is being read, and the most convincing way for him to knows this when he is told it. Then, too, this helps to boost the stock of the columnist with the paper he represents, especially if these opinions are expressed in writing. Beside those in railroad employment, the column is indebted to readers in the business and professional world who have at various times expressed to the editor their opinions on something he has endeavored to relate. The writer will not not attempt to give the names of all of these. The following are just a representative few: The Light Magazine of Chicago, The Delaware and Hudson R. R. Magazine, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Dr. P. Collins, Dr. James Wilson, Dr. E. E. Rawls, of the medical column in the Amsterdam News; Eustace Oxley, W. H. Wortham, George Henderson, William Perry and Dr. Loring B. Palmer of St. John, Virgin Islands. Of the railroad fraternity, the following are a few to whom the column is indebted, not only for the interest they have taken in it, but for the ideas in some of its offerings: John Jones, New York Central dining car conductor; George Spencer, Pennsylvania Railroad chef. S. J. Freeman, Pullman welfare worker; P. Sample, Pullman welfare worker; L. White, Sylvester Brown, John N. Cutler, John Hansborough, J. L. Perkins, Andrew J.

The acts and doings of the Pullman porter have attracted wide attention for several decades. Volumes have been written about him. Newspapers everywhere have given generously of their space to his activities, until he now holds a conspicuous place in the industrial world, a place which he has won by fidelity, honesty and a conscientious discharge of his duties as a public servant. Although this fidelity, honesty and conscientiousness have been rendered at times under provoking circumstances, yet these traits have endured, so that today this employee to the traveling public is coming into his own. For years the public has dubbed the Pullman porter as "George," a sobriquet which is now becoming obsolete. And while the porter accepted the nickname, believing that it was employed, with no motive to stigmatize it, is with deep satisfaction that he notes the traveling public is discarding its use. An obvious omen that the public is beginning too take greater and more respectful interest in the Pullman porter as an industrial worker. It has taken more than two decades to develop this interest and respect to its present state, despite the always generous attitude of the press. But it has arrived, and the development may be credited largely, if not absolutely, to the loyalty and devotion of the porter to his work. Of course, much of the credit for the new estate of the porter in the public's estimation should be given to those porters who have had the benefits of a scholastic training. Two-thirds of the porters in the Pullman service today are men who have had school advantages of some sort. These have undoubtedly helped to raise the status of the porter in the mind of the traveling public by both service and intelligence. This combination, along with old-time porter, who has also imbibed vocational consciousness, has produced as fine a personnel of employees as any corporation would want. And the assumption is that the Pullman corporation is beginning to realize this. Mr. Charles M. Schwab says that 1928 is to be a 'golden era'. Let us hope that the twelve thousand porters in the pullman service will share in this predicted era. Los Angeles, Cal.

While the Board of Superintendents has not yet announced the basis on which these increments will be awarded, it is generally understood that there will be three factors; namely, experience, degrees, and time spent, without compensation, in extra-curricular activities. These increments will probably not be as large as teachers have hoped for, because only two million dollars is left for them, and there are a large number of teachers now on a maximum salary. The largest increases went to Superintendents; District Supts, Associate Supts, City Supt., members of the Attendance Bureau, and the clerical force of the Board of Education. All of these increases were rendered possible, by the fact that the State of New York appropriated $14,000,000 of its educational budget to New York City. While this sum is not definitely stated to increase salaries, nevertheless, it was tacitly understood that it was to be used for this purpose. Each year, the sum of $14,000,000 will be available from the State Fund. This appropriation began July, 1927, therefore, these increases should have been dated from July 1, 1927 instead of from Jan. 1, 1928. This means, that the city has on hand, and not used for salary increase purposes. $7,000,000 that should have been expended therefor The school term ends, officially, on the last day of January, and the semi-annual promotions will take place about that time. Parents of all children who are not promoted, are herewith urged to get in touch with the Principals, and find out just exactly why their child was not promoted. It parents would do this, and then give special attention to the subject which caused lack of promotion, there would be fewer cases of non-promotion and consequent loss of time. In about 90 per cent of these cases, the leaving-hack could have been prevented, if parents would closely follow up reasons for non-promotion. Sometimes there are physical reasons. A child may have poor eyesight, or general poor health. In these cases, a little medical attention will often prove a remedy. 6.000 If it a case of not understanding the work, it is very easy to secure a copy of the spelling words missed, or the text of example not understood. Then special attention can be given to these problems, so that the child soon understands his work. 7.000 If it is a disciplinary case, it is a good thing for parents and teachers to meet, and few, indeed, are the children who will persist in disorder, if they know that the parents and teacher are in accord. 7.000 If non-attendance and lateness are an annoyance, the cause is well, easier. Promotion for parents and teacher to meet, and certainly that will cause absence and lateness, in a large degree, to be remedied. One of the greatest duties of the Elementary School, is to teach cooperation between the home and school, and to teach children to form regular habits. Every year the City of New York and other large cities spends millions of dollars on children who are left back, and 90 per cent of this can be prevented if school and home meet. The School Bank The Thrift Movement, which is now spreading so rapidly through the country, is trying to make it possible for the school to represent some particular bank. Once, a week, the children bring their money, and place it in envelopes. The amount is written on the outside, and the envelope is sealed. In the afternoon an armored car comes from the bank, and collects the money. The bank then opens an individual account with each child, and supplies each one with a bank book. Each week, contributions are made, and the children, little by little, really can save large sums of money. This bank plan prevents spending a large number of pennies, sweets, and many other things of an unwholesome nature. This saving teaches the child the value of money. A child who learns to deny himself the non-essentials, for things that are really worth-while, will grow up to be a worth-willite citizen, and will not likely to be a public charge. P. S. 90 expects, in February, to have this bank plan inaugurated. A number of other schools, in the district, have already introduced school banks. P. S. 90 is asking the mothers to save for an Educational Fund, in order that the child may secure educational advantages later on. It is believed that the child who starts early to save will be sufficiently interested, as he grows older, to continue to do so, in order to have a sufficient amount of capital to enable him to get a good education. The child who has a good education will always succeed in life. is a Prescription for Colds, Gripple, Flu, Dengue, Billious Fever and Malaria.

Among the other important examinations announced by the Municipal Commission are for Deputy Tax Commissioner; 'Tenement House Inspector'; Probation Officer; and others. Watch this column for news of these city tests. Of course we have told about the first batch of examinations to be held by the state service January 21st. There were 70 different tests for as many different positions, but it is now too late to file applications for them. The next batch of state examinations will be announced, I should say, about three months. Watch this paper, for news of them. The first Post Office clerk and carrier examination will be held next Saturday January 21st, when a number of our men and young men will go down and compete. This is the best and easiest way to get into a quick position with the Government. They appoint about 5,000 men yearly, and there is a chance for every one who will only file an application and get ready to take a simple test. The salary is $2,300 per annum. File applications at any time with the Commission at the Custom House, New York City. The next test will be the third Saturday in February. We are glad to note that the City of Cleveland, Ohio, has elected the Civil Service Commission to men of our group.
