Incidentally, Mr. Stern spoke in high praise of the work of Miss Anne Lawson, principal of P.

The career of Mr. Stern has been one of great interest.

For 17 years he has been the head-of a great fraternal order, four terms as grand master of the district grand lodge, and thirteen years as grand master of the national Independent Order of Free Sons of Israel. Mr. Stern is the only grand master to ever serve four terms as district grand master. With One Firm 50 Years. In his business career, Mr. Stern has won the unique distinction of having been associated with one business connection for fifty years. Beginning in 1876 as an arrend boy at $1.50 per week with the firm, of Kerbs and Spies, at 54th street and 2nd avenue, Mr. Stern remained associated with Mr. Kerbs through a merger of a number of firms, including his own, into the General Cigar Co. with which he was connected for forty years, rising to a directorship. Mr. Kerbs finally retired from active business life, and until his death on May 11, 1919, Mr. Sterns was his representative. Then Mr. Sterns resigned with the General Clear Court to manage the business affairs of the Kerbs estate for the widow and daughter. He was a member of the Governor's Reconstruction Commission; for ten years a director of Mt Sinai Hospital, and a director of the, Mt. Sinai Training School for Nurses. Many Colored Employees. Mr Stern's office is in the Gayetty Theatre Building at 1547 Broadway and here he directs the activities of a large and busy organization. One feature that strikes attention in this building is that every house employee, on both day and night staffs, are colored men, some of whom have Boy Flags Train And Prevents An Accident Swedesboro, N. J.—Richard Overly, 13, proved to be a real hero on Friday, January 20. While walking along the tracks of the railroad he noticed a break of about eight feet in the tracks. Knowing that a train was due in short time, the boy ran to the nearest house, and got a table, cloth, then he ran back to the tracks and started waving the tablecloth. The engineer of the Salom-Camden passenger train saw the flagging, touched his train and, got out and integrated. The boy was thanked by all the passengers. Dorothy's heroism was given its unmerited of praise when on Monday, January 24, he was the guest of honor at a meeting in Swedesboro High School which was addressed by Maye A. A. Hunter of Swedesboro and Linda K. Marr, superintendent of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad. Mr. Marr presented Richard with two purses, one from the railroad company, and one from the many passengers on the train which came from wrecking. School sessions were dismissed for the session, and more than 350 children, members of the Klion Club, and others marched to the building for the ceremony, where the mayor and railroad office, Richard told modestly briefly how he discovered the train and flagged the Camden-bound express at Ivy station with the red tablecloth. been with Mr. Stern for years And a number of colored men are employed in other buildings controlled by Mr. Stern, including the apartment building at 2013 Fifth avenue, where he lived for thirty-eight years. When young Stern started as an errand boy with Kerbs & Spiess in 1876, he gave his mother 90 cents of his weekly pay, keeping only 60 cents for carfare, and he is particularly proud of the fact that this business connection has continued unbroken through more than fifty years. During his twenty-five years of service with the Board of Education, Mr. Stern has seen the teaching force increased to 34,000, with other employees totalling around 38,000. The program rendered at the Parents' Association meeting on January 19, included a song by the public good club five receptions on character by various pupils, and the rendering of three numbers by the Dixie Jouillee Singers under direction of Miss Eva Jessie.

The original resolution covered only the 18th (the prohibition law), but Bishop George C. Clement of Louisville, Dr. Joseph I. Vance of Detroit and Dr. Charles C. Morrison of Chicago made a strong fight for inclusion of the 14th and 15th as well, and the fight was carried over from Monday to Tuesday before it was settled. The resolution as adopted reads: "The question of enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment has become an outstanding moral issue in America to-day, and has raised the question of obedience to the fundamental law of our land, including all amendments to the Constitution, particularly the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. "We therefore, recommend that the executive committee of this body go on record as indorsing an honest enforcement of the amendments to the Constitution of the United States, including especially the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth."

Brown, 50 years, old, former Philadelphia banker and business man of New York, died at his late home, 580 St. Nicholas avenue, Tuesday afternoon, January 24, following a long illness from a complication of diseases. Mr. Brown's condition had been steadily growing worse since the first of the year and his death was not unexpected. The late Mr. Brown was born in Philadelphia and educated in the public schools of that city and the Spencerian Business College. His active business career began in Norfolk, Va., when, in 1909, he established the Brown's Saving Bank, which a few years ago changed its name to the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, of Norfolk, and which is today one of the strongest financial institutions of the race. A few years later he established a bank in Newport News, Va., and during the early part of the world war became a partner, with Andrew Stevens, in what was known as the Brown and Stevens Bank. On the death of the late Philip A. Payton jr., Mr. Brown was one of the organizers of the Philip A. Payton jr. Company, which took over the reality holdings of the late Mr. Payton in New York. Had Theatre Loares Mr. Brown was about this time that Mr. Brown became interested in the theatrical profession. He formed the Lafayette Players and was the directing head of a string of theatres in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk. During the depression of 1920-21, Mr. Brown lost heavily on his theatrical ventures and was finally forced to abandon this phase of his business. It was at this time that he sold his interest in the Norfolk and Newport News banks and concentrated his attention on the Philadelphia institution. But this bank was also hard hit by the depression and failed in 1925. After settling his affairs in Philadelphia, Mr. Brown moved to New York and opened a real estate office at 332 Lenox avenue. It was his desire to recoup his losses and return to Philadelphia where he hoped to make good the losses of the depositors of Brown and Stevens Bank. But his health began failing shortly after his arrival in New York, becoming steadily worse until his death. Simple funeral services were conducted from the chapel of Duncan Brothers, 2303 Seventh avenue, Friday and the body shipped to Philadelphia for burial. The late Mr. Brown is survived by his widow, Estelle Smith Brown, and a host of distant relatives and friends. Mrs. Brown received hundreds of messages of condolence. Mrs. Estelle Caution Injured When Run Over By Automobile Mrs. Estelle Caution, superintendent of the haty Ferguson Home for Unmarried Mothers, was knocked down and painfully injured by an autoist on Seventh avenue at 150th street Friday evening, January 20. Mrs. Caution was enroute to visit her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. William Kelly, in their new apartment at 226 West 150th street. She had just alighted from a Fifth avenue bus when struck. The driver of the car stopped and offered to take the injured woman to Harlem Hospital. Although dazed, Mrs. Caution did not think she had been seriously hurt and instead of going to the hospital was driven to her daughter's home. There it was discovered she had sustained a deep gash in the head and bruises in the back and leg. Her son-in-law was hurriedly summoned from the office of The Amsterdam News, where he is editor, and crushed her to the office of Dr. E. P. Roberts on West 130th street. Dr. Roberts stopped the flow of blood from the wound in the head and then sent his patient to Dr. Peter Murray who took five stitches in the scalp wound. Mrs. Caution is reported resting comfortably at the Katy Ferguson Home and has been given a leave of absence from her duties at the girls' home so that she may completely recover before resuming her duties. ```markdown ``` The Rev.

Gray published last week and called 'The Spanish Menace in Harlem.' "We feel that the Negro press is striving to bring about an anxiety among all races and particularly the darker races with the native American Negro. But publications of such articles as the one mentioned above only create a disharmony between native American Negroes and Spanish speaking people in this country. The charges made against us comes from a man who has some grievance against an individual of the Spanish race and it was hate that arrogated this outward. "We do not care to answer individually the many vile and malicious offenses made against us but would say that we, like the American Negroes, ask that the whole Spanish group in New York be not judged by the conduct of a few individuals.

FLORIDA JURY GIVES NEGRO BOY $15,000 Largest Verdict Against Florida Road Ever Re- ceived By Negro Jacksonville, Fla.—Attorney S D McGill won a notable victory here in the Circuit Court at DuVal County, when a jury gave his client a verdict of $15,000 for the loss of a foot in an action against the Florida East Coast Railway Co. The accident occurred in August, 1925, and Alfonso Utrola, a 10-year old Negro lad was the victim. The boy was returning to Jacksonville from Manhattan Beach, Fla., a summer resort, and as he attempted to board the train, a sudden movement of the cars jerked him to the ground and threw him so that his foot was crushed under the car wheels. It had to be amputated above the ankle. The railway company had a galaxy of high-priced lawyers, who attempted to show negligence on the boy's part. But the jury, after hearing the evidence, decided differently and the verdict was the largest ever given a Negro against a Florida railroad.

SMITH Training Your Child Being a parent is a difficult task. Being a parent is second to none in importance to you, the race and the nation. Being a parent presupposes on your part a sound body and mind and continuous study of the ways of children and your own limitations Children like to occupy "the centre of the stage." Do you cuddle your baby? Do you always lie down with the child, in order that it may be "nursed to sleep"? Some parents are always fearful lest this on that will make the child sick. It is easy to develop the habit of sickness in a child. Johnny is never left to himself, for mother fears that Johnny will get hurt. So Johnny grows tip lacking the self-reliance necessary for efficient manhood. Now our Little Johnny may be the only child and so every wish and whim he has is granted. It will not be so when Johnny reads adulthood. Or again Johnny's individuality is hedged-in and thwarted by "Don't do that," or "Stop that." Now, how will he ever learn for himself what is the best thing for him? Does Johnny look up to Papa as the "Boss?" In such cases FEAR rather than respect is created. Do you respect the child? Is Papa, Johnny's "pal," and Mother, Jane's companion? We are not unmindful of the fact that a bright active child is a wear and tear upon the mother who must be with him all day. But this is one of the prices you must pay for motherhood. Is it not better to have a child who is forever asking questions and "getting into things" than to have one who finds little in his environment to stimulate him? One of the signs of normality is this characteristic of asking questions and getting into things. Yet we are not saying there are not limits to this. Your child may be "very bright," and so it please your vanity to "show him off" to your friends. Maybe he is awakened from a sound sleep eleven o'clock at night to recite "Hawatha" to an admiring throng. Or you say in his presence "how cute he is." after he has uttered one of the latest and most sophisticated phrases of slangdom. Then there are those parents who continually tell the child, he is stupid. He may take you at your word. It is easier to "hurt the feelings" of a child or make him conceited than it is to do the same thing to an adult. To say in a child's presence that he is just like his father o' that Jane is just like her mother when he or she has made a mistake encourages the child to secretly disrespect the parent as well as making it more difficult for the child to perform the task the next time. Now, when your child asks questions and you attempt to answer him, be sure that you have his attention and keep it alive until you have finished. Children's attention fluctuates. It is not possible for them to concentrate on one thing very long. Anything about the room, or the slightest noise, may distract him. Therefore don't chastise the child for his inattention, but yourself for your inability to hold it. Maybe your explanation is not in language that he understands. Every question a child asks should receive an answer—a truthful answer. Even if the question relates to sex you should answer it truthfully and fearlessly. Why lie? What is her to fear? The child will learn the half-truth very soon from others—particularly if he goes to school. And then he will believe and maybe know that you have lied to him. Children become interested in sex from three years of age on. Nor should you deny the child an answer wifl all too common. "Don't bother me." A child has eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands and feet and a brain, too—isn't that strange? Well, do you assist him in finding the use of these things? Do you over-assist him? If he be trying to make an implement, do you show him HOW, or do you make it for him? Does your child have an opportunity to play with children of his own age? Or is he with you ALL the time. "I never let Johnny out of my sight," says one mother. And she believes that is the best thing for him. Children reared in such an atmosphere become "old" before their time, or they develop a sense of inferiority. Children have vivid imaginations and thus, are given to what appears to grown-ups as exaggeration or plain lies. Now if Johnny tells you he saw a horse as big as the house, instead of whipping him, why not take him out in the street and show him a horse and a house and let him see for himself that the horse of which he smoke was of his own creation. This same faculty of vivid imagination underlie the child's enthusiasm for stories. "Mama, tell me a story," is heard often in the well-remitted home. Parenthetically, we might add that Papa would derive a lot of benefit, and joy, too, if he made it a practice to have a new story to tell when he came home at night. So, read stories to your children and let them read to you (if they are old enough) for in this way, also, children acquire ideas and words and expression of correct speech.

Anderson senior mentioned during the presentation that through the unifying efforts of Mr. Brown the church had received over $2,300 toward the cost of our Austin pipe organ; and that with his efficiency as president of the trustee board he was due this little token of appreciation. Alderman McDonald 'attended the services and at the conclusion was introduced by the president of the trustee, bishop. He said 'It is to be regretted that John L. Anderson ar., was no longer a resident of Williambridge, but his unusual personality, generous nature his citizenship and his Christian life will always be remembered by everyone in the community.

Traffic Conditions In Harlem To Be Immediately Improved By More Policemen and Regulating Lights Deputy Commissioner Hoyt Writes Alderman Moore That Plans For 5th and Lenox Avenue Lights Have Already Been Prepared The need of improved traffic regulations in the Harlem section has been called to the attention of city authorities by Alderman Fred R. Moore of the 19th A. D., who wrote Police Commissioner Joseph A. Warren on January 13, calling attention to the fact that traffic improvement in Harlem was greatly needed $70 per month FLOOR Steam Heat, Large Front Window Display ENTIRE FLOOR, DAY LIGHT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, WIRED For Business Will Divide To Suit Tenant Apply NEW YORK AGE OFFICE 230 West 135th Street New York City The congested conditions obtaining on Fifth, Lenox, Seventh and St. Nicholas avenues were pointed out, and there was indicated the need for additional traffic cops and the installation of traffic-regulating lights. Subsequently, Alderman Moora had a personal conference with the Police Commissioner, and Mr. Ware promised fullest cooperation in relieving traffic conditions in Harlem, and in giving needed consideration to the community's needs. Alderman Moore's letter to the Police Commissioner was turned over to First Deputy Commissioner Philip D. Hoyt, in charge of traffic and under date of January 20, Commissioner Hoyt wrote Alderman Moore, giving the information that within the next few months, by June 1, or earlier, Lemox and Fifth avenues will have the traffic lights, and that within the next few weeks additional traffic men will be appointed, a number of whom will be resigned to the Harlem section for duty pending installation of the lights. Lights For Fifth and Lenox Avenues. According to Commissioner Hope the Department of Plants and Structures has jurisdiction over traffic lights and phans have already been submitted to the Board of Estimate for approval. Because of the width of Seventh avenue, coupled with the trees in center and on sidewalks, it will be impossible to use the standard light system and other types are being studied by the city engineers. The information is also given that because of the subway construction in process on St. Nicholas avenue, no appropriation has been made for lights on that thoroughfare, but that a survey contemplating such an installation is now in progress. Commissioner Hoyt's letter to Alderman Moore reads as follows: POLICE DEPARTMENT CITY OF NEW YORK Hon. Fred R. Moore, 230 West 135th Street. New York City. My dear Alderman The Police Commissioner has referred to me your letter of January 13th inquiring as to the status of the traffic improvements in Harlem. The installation of the traffic lights is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Plant and Structures which does the engineering work and awards the various contracts for the installation of the lights. The present program involves a considerable amount of work, but every effort is being made to expedite the inst-litation. The Department of Plant and Structures reports that plants have been prepared for the lights on Fifth avenue and Lenox avenue and have been submitted to the Board of Estimate. No appropriation was received for St. Nicholas avenue because of the subway construction there, but a survey contemplating the installation of lights on that thoroughfare is now in progress. Seventh Avenue A Problem We have met with many difficulties in planning a system for Seventh avenue because of the great width of that street and the number of trees, both in the center plot and on the sidewalks. The type of installation generally used in this city will apparently not work on that thoroughfare, and we are now studying other types of lights for Seventh avenue. The probable date of completion for the Fifth and Lenox avenue systems is June 1st. This will depend somewhat upon weather conditions, but if we continue to have the kind of weather that we have had so far, this winter, it may be that the systems can be in operation at an earlier date. We are fully aware of the need for better regulation in Harlem, and the systems referred to are among the first to be installed in this city under the appropriation received last year. Within a few weeks a number of additional traffic men will be appointed under an apprehension received in this year's budget for additional men. It is planned to assism a number of these new men to the section referred to in your letter and they will help to relieve conditions pending the operation of the traffic lights.

Elzy, told of the interesting work done by this organization last year. are now available for all private occasions such as, Weddings, Banquets, Receptions, etc. Why worry about entertaining at home? Special arrangements may be made for Club Meetings and Card Clubs. Rooms can be selected to suit the event. "During July and August the League sent about 250 boys and girls through the Tribune Fresh Air Fund and the Christian Herald away for two weeks vacation at camps or in private homes in Vermont, and New Hampshire. Many mothers and babies were also sent away for two weeks. "For the first time since the opening of the Lincoln Settlement in 1907 we are now in a position to carry on a comprehensive program of boys work. Working with the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities and the Brooklyn City Mission Society we have secured for building at 377 Madison avenue, and as soon as alterations are completed it will be opened as a boys' club with a full time director and assistant. The alterations include gymnasium, showers, lockers, clubrooms, etc. The gymnasium will have one of the best basketball courts in Brooklyn. This club will open soon after February 1." Increase In Delinquents "A few days ago at a public meeting in New York, Mr. Helbing, superintendent of the House of Refuge on Randall's Island, made the statement that the number of colored boys has increased from 18 per cent, two years ago to 50 per cent at the present time. Mrs. Fray Burge, our court worker pointed out that the closing of the Children's Village at Grauncey colored boys makes it necessary to send colored boys under 14 to the House of Refuge. Mr. Helbing felt that this was partly responsible but that notwithstanding that, the number of offended cases is on the increase. He stressed the need of greater activity on the part of churches, welfare agencies and more supervised recreation. We feel that the opening of the boys' club on Hudson avenue will offer from 500 to 700 boys a type of recreation that will take them out of the streets and lesson their chances for becoming delinquent. Another Home Needed. Mr. Burge reports 190 cases handled in the Children's Court, of which 127 were delinquent boys and girls, the remainder being neglected children. The fact that only 65 cases of neglected children came before the court does not mean that these are decreasing but that last year, unlike the previous years, all cases involving destination were referred to the Department of Public Welfare, leaving only cases involving morals for the Children's Court. Mrs. Burge was a member of a committee that made a study of delinquent and neglected Negro children, which report was published last year, and out of which a permanent committee was formed with the hope of getting the Legislature to provide some institution for committing Protestant colored boys under 14 years of age, as at the House of Refuge they come into contact with the older and hardened criminal element. "We have been asked by the chief probation officer of the Magistrate's Court to help them supervise the colored women who appear in court because he felt that a colored person could get further with these women than a white probation officer. Since we do not have a worker available for this work we have asked one of the leading ministers of Brooklyn to take the lead in raising the funds necessary to secure a trained worker who will take over this work and work under the supervision of the League. Several ministers have promised their aid Mrs. Krelan, nur caseorker, devotes three days each week to work with the Broklyn Juvenile Protective Association in handling the boy and girl problems in the public schools. During the past year she has handled the cases of 81 children in nine public schools and THE NEWLY WALKER are now available fisions such as, Wedd ceptions, etc. Why training at home? reported that her most important work was to give the teachers a picture of the conditions out of which many of the colored problem children come. The migrant children are not coming in as great numbers as they did a few years ago and those who came then are adjusting themselves to a large degree into the life of northern shoals. Unfortunately, they do not get much help at home. The great difficulty is that both parents must work because economically this group is in a lower scale than other groups. Quite different is the foreign group where the mother stays at home with her children. This lack of parental care makes for many of the problems. Employment For Negroes. For the past eighteen months we have maintained an industrial department with Mr. Dean S. Yarbrough as secretary. The purposes of this department are to improve the economic status of colored workers by securing better jobs for them an dmore opportunities for advancement in their present positions, to give vocational guidance, collect information and statistics on colored workers and to do free employment service During the past year Mr. Yarbrough found positions for 1040 workers, which included many positions not previously held by Negroes. A study made among the first 500 industrial establishments showed 106 of them employing 56,469 workers, of whom 54,918 were white and 1,551 colored. The colored. The colored workers were employed in only 56 of these establishments, leaving 50 without any Negroes. We are now working on the remaining 50 establishments with the hope of getting them to employ Negroes. It is significant to note that 41.5 per cent. of the firms now employing colored began using them within the last five years: 18 per cent of these had their first experience with colored within the last two years. "Plans for this year include continued efforts to get greater opportunities for colored workers with public utilities, salesmen, with medium and low-priced automobile firms and clerks in stores in districts predominantly colored" The Brooklyn Urban League Settlement, Inc. 105 Fleet place, is the oldest social agency in Brooklyn; the Settlement having organized in 1907 and the League in 1917. Last year, the two organizations were incorporated as one retaining on the board of directors all of the members of the two previous members of the two previous boards. The officers of the board are William H. Baldwin, president Mrs. Ernest P. Goodrich and Dr. Henry H. Proctor, vice presidents Mrs. Edwin F. Horne, secretary, and Francis A Wilson, treasurer. The only day nursery operated for colored in Brooklyn is conducted by the League. Last year 5,000 babies were cared for while their mothers worked. Last year the League's work cost $20,000. To carry out its 1928 program they must raise $25,000. The League gives office space, light, telephone and janitorial service to the three colored nurses employed by the Brooklyn Visiting Nurses' Association, and for a kindergarten whose teacher is supplied by the Board of Education 11% West 135th Street For the comfort of the public.

C—In a statement for the press of the country, Dr. James E. heard, president of the North Carolina College for Negroes, who last month was elected chairman of the Durham Fact-Finding Conference, responds to numerous inquiries coming from all sections of the country requesting detailed information concerning the findings of the conference. One of the inquiries that the statement aims to answer is that of a prominent Negro publicist who asks, "Where are the facts?" Dr. Sheard's statement is as follows: "From the great number of inquiries coming from both races as to the findings of the Durham Fact-Finding Conference, it appears that the public looked forward to the broadcasting of the material presented at the conference in the manner usually characteristic of our national meetings. The Durham Conference, however, unlike most of our national gatherings was not simply a forum for the presentation of opinion, but a serious effort to determine the present-day status of the American Negro. "From the very nature of the case, therefore, before the release of any of the material presented, the facts had carefully to be reviewed both by the authors and the committees appointed for that purpose, and essential facts weighed and measured not only for their values as facts but as to their worth to the Negro public. This review is about to be completed and a summary of the findings of the conference stripped of all elements of mere opinion, will shortly be issued to the Negro press, followed by more detailed statements. "In addition to statements for the press, arrangements have nearly been completed for publication of a volume to contain the documents presented at the meeting. By this means the public will be placed in possession of a collection of authentic facts regarding the Negro in America which, for their wide range, care of collection and authenticity, will hardly be equalled by anything at present available in print." Dr. Shepard, who conceived the idea of the conference, was made its chairman at its opening session Shines May Soon Be Legally Gotten On Sunday Albany, Jan. 24—You will be able to have your shoes shined on Sunday mornings, if a bill introduced by Assemblyman Harry A.

But twentyone Republicans and thirty nine Democrats, with the Farmer Labor Senator Shipstead, voted to keep Colonel Smith on the outside. Democrats from the South must have laughed in their sleeves at the suggestion that any little thing like fraud and corruption could be sustained as ground for excluding a Senator with credentials from his state authorities. It is the same sort of intolerance that Negroes are protesting against on the part of the white press. The majority of Porto Ricans coming to this country are reputable, law abiding citizens.

THE AGE READERS' FORUM Endorsing the advice of thoughtful economists in the slogan, "Back to the Farm," the Savannah Tribune said: The rural district is the natural environment of our people. Since the declaration of freedom, in large numbers, they have invaded urban of a great grocery store in imaginations. He says, "There are 000 colored people in our neighborhood. They spend at least $1,500 week for groceries. That is $30 per week and $1,560,000 per year. I'll open a store." He opens and a year instead of having done $1,5,000 worth of business, he has leased and the shiining has sold. The action taken by the Senate in this case, while it may be of doubtful constitutionality, makes a political, precedent which may be invoked on much stronger ground in the near future. If the Republican Senators had the backbone and courage which distinguished their predecessors in the days of the Chandlers and Forakers, they would exclude every Senatorial aspirant who presented credentials, tainted with fraud and corruption from the states where the suffrage is suppressed and where no Republican is allowed to vote for the candidate of his choice. Blease and Steck were the two Democrats who saw the danger of this precedent and voted against it. The other Democrats saw only the party advantage to be gained by keeping a Republican out of the place to which he had been elected. HEFFLIN AND DEMOCRACY. Thomas J. Hefflin, who occupies a seat as United States Senator from Alabama, last week gained front page notoriety by a violent-and abusive attack on the Catholic Church and the candidacy of Governor Smith of New York for the Presidential nomination. He flouted the the attempt of the Democratic leader to rebuke his intolerance and bigotry, and while the caucus of the Senators of the party indorsed Senator Robinson as leader, it utterly failed to rebuke Hefflin as he should have been rebuked. As matters stand, it would appear that the Alabama Senator dominates his party, and more nearly represents its true attitude than the titular leader, to whom the caucus gave a perfunctory indorsement. That was the view taken of the episode by the New York World, a staunch advocate of Democratic principles, which declared that "on the fundamentals of free government, which Hefflin challenged, there can be no compromise." It and further: "If the Democratic party, confronted with a direct insult to all it professes, is afraid to declare itself and must resort to ignoble parliamentary evasions, then the day of its usefulness is over." This was strong language for a regular Democratic organ to use, but it is in line with the policy of the World, which is to "fight demagogues of all parties." Hefflin is the most dangerous type of demagogue, and the kind that dominates the policy of the party, despite the timid opposition of its more liberal members. What actuated the twenty-one Republican Senators in their suicidal policy is hard to tell. When so strict a construer of the constitution as Borah acquiesced in such a revolutionary proceeding; it is difficult to determine the course of reasoning, if any, which impelled these so-called Republicans to deny recognition of the credentials presented by Colonel Smith, as the representative of a great State of the West. This recognition which is invariably granted to the rotten boroughs of the South, where oligarchy reigns, supreme, was denied to a fellow Republican, although the acceptance of his credentials would not have interfered with the investigation of the charges brought against him, nor his expulsion if found to be disqualified. The whole affair smacks of too much submission to Southern methods, "Sen- atatorial Lynch Law," as the Herald Tribune aptly phrased it. It may be counted as another victory for Southern statesmanship, but it marks a political precedent which may in time become a boomerang. PORTO RICANS AS CITIZENS To understand the type of Southern statesman that Hefflin represents, one has but to glance at the record of his turbulent career since he was first sent to Congress in 1905. He entered the Senate in 1924 and has gained notoriety through his injection of religious discussion into his speeches and his advocacy of jumcrow legislation. He introduced a bill in the House requiring the separation of the races on street cars in Washington, and attempted to eject a Negro passenger from one of the cars. As the latter landed in the street, Hefflin shot at him with a revolver, but missed his target while the bullet struck a sportsman from Kentucky. He is a Scottish Rite Mason, a Shriner, an Elk, a Woodman of the World and a Knight of Pythias. Needless to say, he has the undivided support of the Ku Klux Klan. A sensational article, entitled "The Spanish Menace in Harlem," was printed in a local race, journal last week, which was so sweeping and rabid in its language as to defeat its purpose. This article cited a number of cases in the criminal courts involving outrages committed upon school girls. The writer used the misconduct of those accused as warranting an indictment of the Spanish immigrant to this country, as "a product of the most debased environment . . . with moral ideals and ideas more rudimentary than the most savage peasant of the time of Cromwell and the English Restoration." This characterization was applied to the Cubans, Porto Ricans and other Spanish speaking residents of the community. Those who have come in contact with the Porto Ricans on their native soil know that this indictment is without substantial basis. The natives of the Spanish speaking islands of the Caribbean have many good qualities, not the least of which are their amiability and the respect accorded to womanhood, shown by their zealous guardianship of young girls. Since the American occupation, covering some twenty-five years, there has been an increase of fifty per cent in the population, a wiping out of epidemics of disease, reduction of illiteracy, and the spread of rural schools and industrial education. This is the sort of man whom the Democratic members of the Senate fear to offend by rebuking his spirit of religious intolerance and his outrageous attacks on men and women of the Catholic faith. It shows the depths of infamy to which the spirit of race hatred and religious intolerance can precipitate both an individual and a political party. So long as the Democratic party submits to the domination of the Hefflin stripe, it will continue to be in a hopeless minority in national affairs, incapable of inspiring confidence in the voters or of becoming an instrument of usefulness in politics. The sooner demagogues like Hefflin are relegated to the rear, the brighter will be the prospects of the Democratic party in the next Presidential campaign. That the domination by the United States has not been an unalloyed blessing was shown in an article published some time ago by Luis Munoz Marin, in which he instanced the introduction of segregation of the races to disturb the admirable relationship which had hitherto existed. Before the American invasion Porto Rico was notable as "a laboratory, for experiment in social ethics, as there you find the nearest approach to social equality of this sort within the supposedly permanent territory of the United States." White, Negro and Mulatto lawyers, physicians, journalists, poets, politicians, philosophers lead a common professional and spiritual life." MAKING POLITICAL PRECEDENT. By an overwhelming vote of sixty-one for twenty-three, the United States Senate decided that Frank L. Smith, who was elected as Senator from Illinois, was not entitled to a seat and that a vacancy exists in the representation of Illinois in the Senate. This action was based upon the report of the Reed investigating committee, which charged that the use of money in Colonel Smith's, primary campaign "was contrary to sound public policy, harmful to the dignity and honor of the Senate, dangerous to the perpetuity of free government and taints with fraud and corruption" the credentials which he presented. This is the Porto-Rican on his native soil, as he was unspoiled before the introduction of American prejudice and racial segregation. Because certain Spanish speaking individuals from that island come to New York and are brought before the courts on criminal charges is no ground for indicting the That is a rather ridiculous proposition to be adopted by a body, the "dignity and honor" of which can stand the presence ; whole race. It is the same sort of intolerance that Negroes are protesting against on the part of the white press. The majority of Porto Ricaans coming to this country are reputable, law abiding citizens. Because of their language and foreign origin they are slow to affiliate with the rest of the community, but they make good citizens and use their votes to advantage. Their morals are apt to average up with the rest of the community. TALKING IN MILLIONS There is a tendency on the part of our financiers and business men to talk in millions, when the actual achievements of the race can be more accurately counted by dropping a cipher or so. For instance, a special dispatch from the World Bureau, at Chicago, printed in the New York World, bore the blatant headlines: "Chicago Negroes Thrive. Will Soon Open $300,000 Community House; 2,000,000 Given to Charity." All this was based on the announcement made by Jesse Binga, banker, concerning the dedication of the aforesaid community house on the South Side. Mr. Binga was further quoted as follows: There is a tendency on the part of our financiers and business men to talk in millions, when the actual achievements of the race can be more accurately counted by dropping a cipher or so. For instance, a special dispatch from the World Bureau, at Chicago, printed in the New York World, bore the blatant head-llnes: "Chicago Negroes Thrive.

All this was based on the announcement made by Jesse Binga, banker, concerning the dedication of the aforesaid community house on the South Side, Mr. Binga was further quoted as follows: "Chicago's colored population pays taxes on $40,000,000 worth of property. Its bank deposits last year were close to $40,000,000. It has two banks managed and manned entirely by colored people. "Chicago has seven big insurance companies owned and managed by colored people for colored policy holders. Last year's premiums totaled $1,000,000. Colored business enterprises here represent invested capital totaling $4,000,000. "Chicago's colored folk gave $2,000,000 to charity last year. They are sending their children to college." When an enthusiastic realtor placed the value of the property owned by Nerroes in Harlem at over a hundred millions, more conservative estimates brought it down to a little more than half that sum. Probably the same reduction, or even a greater one, would be necessary to get the Chicago banker's figures within hailing distance of the acts. If this optimistic banker takes the same rose colored view of his banking assets his surplus would soon exceed his capital stock. There is no good object to be served by exaggerating the progress made by the race in material acquisitions. Chicago's colored population may be paying excess on a large assessment of property, but we doubt very much if it is as much as a quarter of the sum named by Mr. Binga. Its bank deposits of forty millions may have been figured by some process of multiplication unknown to us. As for the two millions given to charity, it would need a great deal of specialized and itemized accounting to support such statement. This talking in the millions is not consistent with the practice of appealing to outsiders to raise money in a great emergency.

A petition is being circulated, asking the Legislature to amend Section 2143 of the Statutes of New York State, so that a devout church-goer may secure a polish for his slices before attending divine worship on the Sabbath Day. This is couched in an amendment to the Sunday closing law, which forbids any labor on Sunday, except that which is of a A petition is being circulated, asking the Legislature to amend Section 2143 of the Statutes of New York State, so that a devout church-goer may secure a polish for his shoes before attending divine worship on the Sabbath Day. This is couched in an amendment to the Sunday closing law, which forbids any labor on Sunday, except that which is of a necessary character: Under this head come drug stores, delicatessens, between certain hours, news stands and stationery stores. It is now proposed that shog shining parlors be permitted to ply their trade on Sundays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. in cities having one million or more population. It is argued that the shining of footwear is a necessary operation for the comfort and dignity of those good citizens who wish to attend church and to present a suitable appearance at that function. Many of these citizens are prohibited by their physical proportions from performing the shoe shining operation themselves, and are obliged to delegate that task to a professional. The professional polishers are not averse to keeping their places open for a few hours in the forenoon to serve customers of this type and thus add to their weekly profits. The operation, it is claimed, will not entail any serious fracture of Sabbath observance, involving no noise nor clanking of machinery. In fact Sunday is selected as the day when the average citizen is more likely to realize the need of having his shoes polished and to possess the leisure for having the work done. The day when every good citizen had a shoe polishing stand and attended to the shining of his own shoes is past. Lack of space and a convenient location has made the home shoe cleaning kit a thing of the past. Men and women alike resort to the little stand or parlor at the corner and have their shoes cleaned and polished after THE AGE READERS' FORUM J. they leave their apartments. If they cannot have their shoes shined on Sunday, they feel as if a serious part of their toilet had been neglected In the interest of neatness the general wellbeing of the community it is essential that all good citizens should The Pullman Porter And The Brotherhood Editor of The New York Age: On January 17, A. Philip Randolph and his colleagues journeyed to Washington for the purpose of holding a public meeting to acquaint the general public as to the conditions and exploitation of the Pullman porters. On Sunday afternoon at the John Wesley Church, the Brotherhood held its meeting. At that meeting Senator Copeland of New York and A. Philip Randolph spok, also W. H. DesVerney, organizer of the meeting. Senator Copeland said in part that he gloried deeply in the courage, manhood and manina of the Pullman porters to carry on an organization of this kind. He also said, substantiating the remarks of A. Philip Randolph, "Yes, there was a new white man, and I represent that new white man, standing for equal justice for blacks as well as white in every line of society, politically, economically and otherwise." On Monday, the Brotherhood held a Labor Conference, attended by some of the dignitaries of Washington, in order to show the interest and aspiration of the Pullman porter, which was very well attended. At that meeting there was a labor committee organized for the purpose of propagating Washington and its vicinities about, the Pullman porters On Tuesday A. Philip Randolph and his colleagues, including Mary Church Terrell, called on the President. He, too, expressed his admiration for the new idea of the Negro organized to better his economic standing within the Nation. He said that not only himself but the American public glorified in the courage and conviction of the Pullman porters to organize for better wages and better conditions and manhood rights Perry Parker journeyed all the way from Chicago to hold a meeting in Washington, seemingly to throw a damper on what the Brotherhood had tried to accomplish. With him he had H. W. Lucas, D. O. Smith, S H Webb, Rev. M. Robinson, C. C Webb, W R Banks to attend a dinner that was paid for by the Pullman Company, in order to send out resolutions condemning Randolph and the Brotherhood. It is to my mind preposterous for Negroes living in the Twentieth Century to carry on such propaganda against such deserving organizations. The world has grown considerably in the past two or three decades. The glory of science is that it is freeing to, the soul, breaking the mental manacles, getting the brain out of bondage, giving courage thought, tilling the wood with mercy and justice and joy. Science found agriculture ploughing with sticks, reaping with a sickle, commerce at the mercy of the treacherous waves and inconsistent wind, a world without a book without schools, man dying. The authority of reason employing his ingenuity in the manufacturing of instruments of torture in building inquisitions and cathedrals. It found the land filled with multicolored monks, with persecuting protestors and the burners of men. It found the world full of fear, ignorance upon its knees; credulity the greatest virtue. Women treated like beasts of burden; cruelty the only means of reformation. It found the world at the mercy of disease and famine, men trying to read the facts in the stars and to tell their fortunes by signs and wonders, genetals thinking to conquer their enemies by making the sign of the cross, by telling the story. It found all history full of petty and ridiculous falsehood and the Almighty was supposed to spend most of His fine turning sticks into snakes, drowning boys for swimming on Sunday, and killing little children for the purpose of converting their parents. It found the world filled with slaves and tyrants, the people in all countries down-ridden, half-naked, half-starved, without reason in the world. Such was the condition of men when the morning of science dawned upon its brain and before he had heard the sublime declaration that the universe is governed by law. Yet Mr Perry Parker and his weak-kneed, spineless, unsophisticated stoed pigions, barking dogs, will simply carry out their master's voice against a poor defenseless group. At first, I thought of putting him in the class with Helfin, but after all he is a great dal wor, for he is supposed to be a black man with black colleagues, opposing and tracing to keep down the progress of his own people, keeping brand out of the months of Negro children, keeping them from acquiring education. Must we tolerate such an individual? Is it true that he has long since outlived his usefulness? I would say yes, and his other spineless brothers. It is only natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are about to shut our eyes against the powerful truth and listen to the sounds of that siren until she transforms us into hearts. Is this the part of wise men engaged in a great, ardous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who have eyes, see not, having ears, hear not the those which so nearly cannot our temporal salvation? Get much sunshine in your all thorough have their Sunday shines. The church-goers will then feel more in harmony with that part of the services which enjoins the shiining light. We think that no serious harm will be done to the Sunday closing law by passing this amendment. For my part whatsoever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst and provine for it. They tell us that the human porter is satisfied and does not need organization. They tell us that they are weak and will organize. They tell us that we must grow stronger before we think of organizing, but when shall we be stronger? Will it be next week, or next year, or the next decade? when we are totally disarmed and when we are crushed beneath the soil of the earth, will we be strong enough then? Shall we acquire the means of效ual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantoms of hoping until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make strength out of these means which the God of Nature has placed in our power. Fourteen thousand Pallman porters, armed with organization in the holy cause of liberty and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible. By no force shall our enemy win against. Besides, Mr. Parker, we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations and peoples and who will raise up friends to fight out battles for us. The battle, Mr. Parker, is not to the strong alone. It is to the vigilant, the active and the brave. And besides, we have no fear. If we are base enough to believe it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but victory for the Brotherhood. S. F₂. GRAIN.

ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association "It we had only known someone that he was ill, we could have done so much more for him" Perhaps we could have saved him. How often we hear this spoken by some relatives of a sick person. Time after time, an illness is not discovered until it is fairly well advanced, so that recovery, it is to be attained, is a long and tedious process. If all persons will learn the importance of regular health examinations and get the habit of having one every year, much sickness can be prevented and much can be cared if discovered while it is still in its early stages. Everyone should have a complete physical examination by a competent doctor every year. The doctor will be able to discover any physical defects, there may be. He will advise treatment to cure them, thus preventing more serious trouble. If, on the other hand, there are no defects, it is reassuring to have a physician tell you positively that you are in good physical condition. Cancer, heart, disease, tuberculosis, kidney troubles and many other ailments are curable if discovered in their early stages. It is particularly important to have yearly health examinations as a safeguard against these serious diseases. Sunlight Sunshine is one of Nature's mighty gifts to human beings. It helps keep one healthy and is a great factor in caring many diseases. Everyone should get his share. One of the best things about sunlight is that it is free and abundant. Nature offers us plenty. It is up to us to see that we all need How much sunlight do you get every day? Try to get outdoors for some time, even if it is not longer than few minutes. Take a walk in the sunshine during your moon hour. On pleasant week end try to get outdoors where you can enjoy the sunlight as much of the time as possible. Try setting creature, such as walking, playing ball housing or some other kind which keeps you outdoors. Endorsing the advice of thoughtful economists in the slogan, "Back, to the Farm," the Savannah Tribune said: The rural district is the natural environment of our people. Since the declaration of freedom, in large numbers, they have invaded urban societies. This has been greatly noted within the past four decades, but especially so beginning fifteen years ago. There are several causes impelling such a change, mainly lack of law protection, meagre school facilities and low wages. The renters and laborers were the first to imbibe the urban idea. It was more difficult for those holding property to do likewise, but many of them sacrificed and did so. This unrest is being stabilized and a return to the farm can with good grace be fully advocated. This is accentuated especially, by the recent report of reduced laffness in the South with a lynchness record for Georgia during the past year. Then, too, there is an increasing sentiment to improve school facilities and give more for its maintenance, as can be seen by the first liberal sum appropriated for Negro education by the last legislature, and the favorable attitude of the school commissions in many of the counties in the state. These facts impel us to heartily enter into the slogan, "Back to the Farm," and not only that but to become owners. The encouragement of farm ownership is a good thing, but the farmer must be assured an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of his labor. This should include protection for his life and property and adequate school facilities. . A Newport, R. I. letter in the Boston Chronicle told how a former Congregational pastor became an English harrier. It said: The Rev. Aaron T. Peters, who was pastor of the Union Congregational Church several years ago and resigned to go to Oxford University for further study, has been admitted to the practice of law, having been "called" by the Middle Temple, one of the four iums of court in London. He received his bachelor of dress at Yale University, and during his ministry at the Union Church studied at Brown University, receiving the degree of master of arts. Mr. Peters is still in the ministry. The Christian World of London prints an excellent photograph of him in connection with its report of the recent annual assembly of the Congregational Union at Newcastle-on-Tyne. Mr. Peters read a paper at one of the sessions on the general topic. The Recognition of Cars in Present-Day Experiences, which the World says, was particularly interesting as an attempt to interpret the theme from the point of view of the black race. The exceptional feature of this case is that after being admitted to practice law, Mr. Peters remained in the ministry. Maybe his practice is confined to canon law. * Denning the difference between "Vision and Visionary," the -Philadelphia Christian Recorder. A visionary is one who gets a motion in his head, sees something in his imagination, and imagines he can do it, tries it without taking the ordinary precautions and fails. For instance, we heard a man say the other day that he bought a church for $25,000 and counted on each African Methodist giving him a dollar "Why said he "it is as easy as anything." We have 25,000 members of each one gives $1 we shall have $25,000. Let the bishop instruct each presiding elder to instruct each pastor to get $1 within the next 30 days from each member, and we shall have enough." Or course we could not convince the brother. But old Father Ime will confuse him. Again, a young man who has been 12 years in the Pullman service wants to run a grocery store. He has saved $3,000. He has vision home as possible.

He opens and in a year instead of having done $1,560,000 worth of business, he has lost all he had and the sheriff has sold him out. He is a sadder and wiser man. He was a visionary. He knew little or nothing about the grocery business and therefore he failed. Imagination and feeling will never take the place of training—not in this complex civilization. Now a man of vision wants to do a thing. He sees it. He studies it. He prepares for it, and does it it goes about it in a sensible way and usually he succeeds. He is practical as well as visionary. The man with real vision sees things clearly as they are, while the visionary deceives himself with illusions. Emphasizing the real need for a new site and building to care for the growing high school population of colored youth the New Orleans Louisiana Weekly said: For years it has been a source of keen disappointment to many of us that no effort, apparently, has been made by the Orleans Parish School Board to provide needed relief for this particular unit of the public school system. Especially has this disappointment been keen when we have learned what has been done by other Southern cities far beneath in population, and resources. Atlanta, Norfolk, Louisville, Houston, and Daton Rouge, among the larger cities, not to mention at all the State of North Carolina, have provided, in recent years, splendid buildings, with modern equipment, for their Negro children in high school grade. New Orleans, the metropolis of the South, has sadly assumed the rear in this progression of progress in Negro school facilities. Already, we have been informed, six and a half million dollars has been spent on major building projects in the public school - system (this amount does not include, we understand expenditures for repairs and alterations of existing structures) and of this amount the Negro schools have profited by one new building, extensive alteration of another, and an annex to an already too overcrowded school. United support was urged of a popular movement to supply this need from the proceed of a recent bond issue. --- The Natcher Reporter printed the following account of heroic rescue of six whites, told in a news article from Shreveport: The heroism of a colored man in helping in the rescue of six white fellow workers Monday after they had been blown from a Gulf Refining Company's launch, "The Gulf Special," at the wharf at Morningport is being acclaimed by colored persons and white persons alike. The explosion, the cause of which has not been determined, occurred just after eleven employees of the company had boarded the launch for a trip about Caddo Lake, where the men, employed on various projects had left for their work. Robert Fisher, who was piloting the boat, proved the hero of the catastrophe. As the din and smoke of the explosion that rocked the pier died away, men were seen struggling in the water. Many were badly burned and dazed and were in danger of drowning. Fisher was painfully injured but he retained his strength and courage. He swam to the aid of stunned men who were clinging to pieces of wreckage. Six trips he made carrying injured to the pier before he himself fell out, exhausted. The boat was completely destroyed and witnesses said that but for the heroism of Fisher a number of the men would likely have drowned. This is added proof that humanity and courage are not restrained or color lines, even in such States of Mississippi and Louisiana. ... According in the Letter Loremis a novel use has been found in old street cars in Houston. It said Some of Houston's old street cars which have long served the punks are now being used as playhouses for children instead of completely punking the cars, Jeff Alexander, manager of the Houston street car system sent some of them out to the public playgrounds, so the killers could play street car to then be content. Recently this company placed an service in Houston a number of types cars, in order to the public the last word comfort. At Fort Worth the Northern Lease as Traction Company is present a number of old cars to make way for 10 of the latest type in sale of the Fort Worth new cars and one from Houston were on display at the recent national convention of the American Electric Railway Association in Cleveland. This new equipment represents the effort of Texas street railway companies to give the best service to both and anywhere. That is probably as good a way to utilize the obsolete vehicles as setting them into existing rooms in room hangings. And to the children play they can wrest the singles of "Dumb" safety punch with wire punch in the presence of the passengers. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Grace Church of Härlem The last day Sunday morning—bright, crisp, moving, red, many graces surround where they learn a red bed room from New York. Dean, who is holding a ten days meeting, his session last Sunday was then Israel data chapter. The days rip up vision of the project key Mr. Dean has a fine personality—and is both clear and brief in presenting his message to illustrations he uses to take life. He takes a profound impression from his audience. Sunday in three services he held, each service was progressive and calculated to stir to enthrall service. These are continuing through January 20. Samantha the Christians were challenged two recruits were won for the cause of the church: Mistra Fiora E. Pearce and Wiley A. Plant. Grace Church Choir sang informing and recount most accurately. The pastor was on the job, sharing in or directing every effort. The people inspected the Day Nursery and the Sunday school that holds session from 1:15 to 2:30 p.m. The Day Nursery is under the leadership of Mrs. L. M. Garner assisted by Miss Garner and Mrs. N. Garner and the Nursery are small but neat, clean and attractive. The nursery only allows municipal inspection to open up to ror service. Next Sunday, Dr. Dean will preach the "Engage 'Nest" in the morning; will address a meeting for Men only at 3 p.m. on "Samson". and hold his press meeting at 8 o'clock. His press meeting will be "Hand writing on the Wall". Next Sunday at necn the Ada Patterson Cross will be dedicated The Chicago Club will assist. St. Paul Bapt Church The B. Y. P. U. was very well attended Wednesday night, and the president, Mrs. A. Stone, selected and opened the topic of discussion "How To Use Our Sunday." It was surprising to me that the intelligent discussion that followed Our young people are both intellectually alert and spiritually wise. We were forward to with great anticipations, as this was the night of the lecture by Dean C. Brown at Yale University—his first time! I appear before a colored audience, this city. Though it ramed in 1915, yet the Mr. McVettie Baptist church was well filled to hear this unstinting man. Dr. Vernon Johns, director of the Negro Religious Association, was responsible for this great event, and the diet by competent judges was that it was the greatest lecturing ever heard on "Lincoln The Greatest Man or the 19th Century." Friday night and Sunday morning the prayer services in our church were well attended. Sunday morning the pastor preached on "The Life Abundant" homilies the faculty made, people might have better lives, physically, mentally and spiritually. The funeral of Deacon Mack Thomas, one of the original members of the church, was held from the church, the pastor preaching the sermon, assisted by Dr. Mumford, Rev. Moses Thomas, the deacon of the church, the deacon's Union of the city. The various departments of the church had enologistic addresses, and the Order of St. Luke's, Deacon Thomas had served the church from its beginning to the time of his death, was chaplain of the Deacon's Union, as well as one of its founders. He was the husband of Mrs. Mary Johnson, 49 years, and the father of twelve children, six of whom survive him. Mrs H. A. Booker, the pastor's wife, was taken all during the funeral, and, unknown to the nurse, had been taken to the hospital he found her quite ill on his return. The doctor was called and, at first it was feared she might have appalled it appears now that this danger may not be present, is, however, confined to her bed. Salem M. E. Church Uplifting services were enjoyed all day by members and visitors who worshipped at Salem Church last Sunday, Dr. F. A. Cullen, pastor, preached, as he has been doing right along during the revival season, on the redemptive powers of the gospel of Jesus by institution of preached "in the necessity of all Christmas eucharist, Christ put salutation in the forefront of all his teachings." One cannot reason one self into the Kingdom, he said it is only through belief, which is total reliance upon intuition, can we bring ourselves in harmony with God, plan. In the evening Dr. Cullen, concludes his plan for a closer walk the day before. Let it be said of you the woman at Christ's service, said, "the men will move often higher in such statements when they are to deride you. Before his evening sermon Dr. Browne installed the newly elected Chairman of the Beneficial Society of the Leaf Loan Auxiliary. Dr. Browne was selected as the former and Mrs. Brown retain leadership. The ordination was evidenced by meeting against Ivanch, the Chairman of the Auxiliary, the Chairman of the Principal and the Chairman of the Auxiliary. A program was being able to be held. Other speakers include Browne, E. A. John Allen, and P. Roy. Lord Brown are pleased. bowl is conducting a campaign for 200 new members The campaign will last until Sunday February 12. Mrs. Porta Nickens superintendent, is striving to get additions to all departments to create roll up to the administrators. One of the most successful revival meetings in the history of the church has just been concluded. Dr. Cullen and several assistants conducted the services nightly for three weeks. The class in art and interior decorating conducted by Mrs. Heller and several assistants. A scoped scope of work considerably one of the most popular courses in the cluseational department. Levine Brown, head steward, leader of Class No. 5, and Mrs. Mary Wetherley were united in marriage by Dr. Cullen Monday evening, January 16, Mrs. Wetherley, like Mrs. Heller, is a devoted member and faithful worker in Salem Church. Rush Memorial Church "The Christian Race," I Cor 9:24, was the subject of Dr. Oliver's sermon. Last Sunday morning There is a prize laid up for all, but it is given to those who run the race to the end. The Christian's race is to be one of perseverance, patience, and determination. A race of righteousness is the reverly. In the afterpart, the Oliver Circle presented an educational program of excellence. Mrs. E. Hortense Warner presided. Elear Gray delivered an address on "The New Emptipation" Musical selections were rendered by some of our best artists, including Hall Johnson's Carolina Choir; M. E. Emanuele A. M. Simpson; R. E. Vernon Lonar; cellist, Directell Hart; violinist; Miss Alena Price and W H., Rennix were the accomaniants. In the evening, "Dr. Oliver preached." First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock service Sunday Pastor Bolden preached from the text, "And when they had prayed the place was, shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word "Lord, Lord," in the third Throne, "Night and Justice May Be Opposed, But Speak With Holdness. Pastor Bolden said; The context shows that Peter and John the two outstanding companioning apostles of our Lord the Emmanuel, of our Lord the Emmanuel, and against themselves and against their glorifying the person and eternal place of our Lord the Emmanuel, as the crucified Messiah of the Jews, the resurrected and ever living Redeemer and King of the Jews, to do miracles in his name. This hatred was that intense that the Jewish hierarchy, instead of commending them for healing the lame man who was carried and laid daily at the gate of the Temple in Jerusalem, to them that entered into the Temple, gave cause for an effort to be made on the part of the hierarchy to put an end to the growing influence of the convincing sermons of Peter and the healing power they manifested by using the name of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel. The interpretation of the old Testament prophecies as to the sufferings through the cruel and ignorant persecutions heaped upon our Lord the only Beguin Saw of God the caustic criticism in the semion against the Jesuit hierarchy that the Jesuit bedrin could endure. Hence they saw in Peter and John what they recorded to be zealous and daring revolutionists, who had demonstrated a power in their midst similar to their Lord and Master Fenneman, and that beside the populace following from them when the Jesuit was seeking to be them to trial, they found that there was a sympathetic and a fairly great group of their own members among them for these men. This made the majority members of the hierarchy more determined than ever to suppress their activities, by creating their own unit in the hold of their demanded or soars. But since they had to give them some form of trial, they were kept in this prison on through short periods. And after a few days they were brought before the council. The great leaders of the church and the lawless men set this direct question. Peter who acted as his own counsellor and the attorney of record for John, by what power as what time have done this (that is to lead the impatient as the state). And when Peter had laid the hand and made his hand the council controlled and asked. And here is their response: Well shall we do to these men. For that indeed a notable instance has been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in temelum and we cannot deny it. But that it sensed no further answer the people let us straighten the form from the sneak heed to the prosecution in his hand and drew called them and commanded them to reside at all or perhaps in the name of lesseu. But Peter and John incurred and coiled them. Whether he guided in the sight of God to Coil them or did not, Peter can be trusted to have seen all that he did. He followed the council and informed them that their case was weak against them in the proceedings they and let them go. These impaired and enlisted purposes of our Lord the Emmanuel went back to their own company and the truth of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel. WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH --- and the life giving Holy Spirit, and reported their apprehensions and experience with the Sanhedrin council. These nembers of the church of our Lord went into the church and weaved their life of God with His people, and the wicked opposition of Jewish leaders that demanded the death of Jesus their Messiah. They submitted to God the threatenings of the council against them because in the name of the Holy Child Jesus. And the text, says that "when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together and they were filled with the Holy Ghost and spake the word of God with boldness." Opposition to our Lord Jesus Christ hammel and those who are demon- strating His healing and benefi- cent power in the world of human- ity is as subtle and intense as it is powerful. The latter is the only way the method of prosecution by believers in our Lord is the same as then by believers. And the re- sults in their experience and the affect upon the community and the people of this generation will bear forever on their hearts and souls. On faith fearlessly and boldly teach the whole truth concerning our Lord the Emmanuel and, be- ing filled with the Holy Spirit, do mighty works in his name.

Refuge Church of Christ The regular Sunday service began at the usual hour, Eld S. E. Williams, the eminent young pastor and evangelist of the Bible College inington, D. C., that has been holding meetings in the absence of the pastor. Eld Williams spoke with that deep, honest feeling that the church seemed to kindled emotion at the hearts of a sollenid responsive congregation. He preached from St John 5:11. "He answered them. He that made me whole, the same said unto me, take up thy bed, and wait. This is the way Jesus performed in His ministerial career, not recorded by the other disciples. John is the only one who mentions it. John wrote of Jesus as being the Eternal Word of God, Himself in Jesus the Christ. This is just one of the many wonderful things that is recorded of Him. The place of the miracle is particularly described as being at the pool of Bethesda, up at Jerusalem, fear of the Jews, fear of the Jews, if we will notice in the first verse. It was an opportunity of good, for there were great numbers gathered together there at that time; it was a general knowledge, at ten of all serious inklidiousness, from all parts of the country. Jesus was on His busy journey as usual. He realized that He had but a short while in which to finish His mission in the flesh, though He was a young man, yet He knew it was not long before He must be dead. He realized that He had all His time occupied so that there was not a spare moment He never had any time that He did not know what to do with. As He passed this pool, there was a great multitude of poor cripple, blind and halt, that were waiting there for cure; but Jesus fastened His eyes on this particular man, and asked of him, "wilt thou be made whole?" As he began to renew his complaint, and set forth the misery of his brother, Jesus saith to man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool." Jesus saith unto him, "Rise, take up thy bed and walk." There are some here, said Eld. Williams, that are infirm, blind and poor spiritually, who need to do as John's message to Laodicea was, "Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not what is wished, wished, and able, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, and white ralment that may最先 be clothed. Revelations 3:17, 18. He emphasized the healing and saving power of the Lord Jesus through the power of the Holy Ghost which the liever full and free access to the resources of God's treasury. Many a poor soul today, is crying out in heart, that they have no one to put them down when the water is troubled in the name; Jesus: but, friends, if you will only be willing to obey the word of God, there is doubt, in the name of Jesus Christ, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church As these notes go to press, Rev. William C.

THE AIR MODING'S BAND DOWN and McGRAW Phone Edg. 7850 Noble Sissle Tells Writing from London, England, where he is busily engaged in arranging a big production, Nbble Sissle, formerly a heaterman in the Old 15th New York, afterwards associated with the late James Ross Europe and the Old 15th regimental band, later as Sissle and Blake, being one of the co-companies and producers of the famous "Snuffle Along" and its successor, "The Chocolate Dandies," takes occasion to express his grief at the election of Fr. R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, to the Board of Aldermen of New York. Leut, Sissle writes: "It was with the greatest pleasure that I read in the paper an election to office. And I might say, an answer my prayer. As I wrote you before, some knows better than I what a need need there is for honorable, insight men at the head of civili-fairs in New York. And every one knows of your sincerity and well-netting disposition? There has never been a soldier who stood more like Horatius at the Bridge than you have. 'Many times, single-handed, you have stood on the threshold of Harlem, holding back the determined effort of some who desired to make it the dumping ground for debauchery and fifth. It has seemed, maybe, a long time for your worth to be appreciated as the recent demonstration at the coursed. But must you name a time when you but a Fred Moore could stem the tide of pollution in our neighborhood. I wish to congratulate the citizens of Harlem for at last rescuing to the occasion and putting a man of your strength or character into such a high office. And my earnest prayer is that you will be supported and be given encouragement in helping to bring about a condition that will make Harlem rather than "Nigger Heaven." Let us have it at the 'Haven of New York' where all the citizens of that great metropolis can point upward with pride to that section of Manhattan whose geographical position places it in the relative position to Lower New York as Heaven is to Easth. "I am glad to say that I am brazing away at my goal, which you know has been I a tedious one but one that I have done in a few months show results. You know I have always striven to live a life of service, and at present I am slowly building a foundation for a very important movement in behalf of the advancement of my profession among our people."

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Leon Abbey, who formerly was leader of an orchestra at the Savoy Dance Hall, has taken six men to London to fill a three months' contract. There is little doubt this contract will be extended at its completion, if the orchestra's department is proper. R. James and F. Alleyne, saxophonists; Charley Johnson, cornet; Harry Steven, banjo; Billy Gaines, piano; Oliver Tynes, drums, with Abbey, comprise the outfit. These men were working with Bill Brown in Brooklyn, and quit Brown to go with Abbey. Their quitting caused Brown to lose his job, as Brown's employer would not submit to having a pickup band. Brown had used ten men who had played together for years and therefore were well organized and gave an excellent account of themselves. Hiring two subsequent so-called organized orchestras, which failed to give satisfaction, the employer gave Brown a hearing on a bunch he had meanwhile been whipping into shape. This bunch proved satisfactory, so Brown is on the job again. While on the Brown subject, we may here state that DeLeon, whose case against Brown was discussed a few weeks ago, this column, obtained judgment at 8:00, and time for payment was used. Local 802, but Brown, having lost his job as stated, asked for and obtained an extension or time for payment. DeLeon's allowed claim was for two weeks' salary on a job on which DeLeon never waned and never played a note. Don David is again working for the M & S integrates at the Roosevelt, in conjunction with Geo Turner piano, Henry Gibson chamber and saxophone; Henry Harding drummer, Liacut, Tim Brimm, who is contractor for the house, has changed all save Gibson since he came into office. Joe Lymans, who used to be leader, made an awful squawk to the Umon, claiming he had bought a library and was only retained as leader a short time by Tim. He was informed that under the conditions, the local could not compel Tim to keep him on the job. Trouble had been brewing since Tim displaced Miss Hershey, a previous leader, and pianist of the orchestra for two years, and who was not wanted in that house by the management. Tim transferred her to the Odeon Theatre, but she refused and put the Roosevelt. It is alleged that Mildred Brooks (Delcon) was hampered when she was engaged as pianist in Miss Hershey's place, and could not return the job as most of the orchestra wanted the return of Miss Hershey. This added to the fact that a majority of the orchestra were strenuous in their activities to prevent the U.S. from given. Tim control of the Roewell, may have induced the heutenan to clean house and thus prevent a continuous blinking. The report is that Davis, the former drummer at the Roewell, impaired at the local as to why a first-class drummer was fired to make room for a tanzing drummer" and the report was overheard, that a "taxicab drummer is better than a limousine drummer of the taxis is hitting a self-clubber and the limousine is stranded."

PORO COLLEGE 4100 St. Fredinand Avenue ST. LOUIS, MO., U.S.A. ข้อมูลที่ถูกใช้ THINGS SEEN; HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES BY JAMES H. HOGANS On The Defensive Persons who are familiar with the railroad situation in this country will not have to read Mr. Charles Angoff's "The Railroads At Bay" in this month's issue of the American Mercury Magazine, to realize that the railroads are on the defensive, that they are fighting with their backs to the wall against the financial inroads and encroachments of the automobile and the motor-bus. Yet even to these persons, the article cannot help but be interesting, although the facts in it may be well-known. Mr. Angoff, who undoubtedly knows the railroad game, tells how the automobile and the motor-bus have eaten into the revenue of the railroads, and how these once automatic and plurocratic carriers are struggling to offset this fiscal corrosion. This, he says, they are engleaving to do by the means of faster and more luxurious trains and by innovations of every kind, even carrying these innovations to their freight service. Taken in its entirety, the exposition is worth reading by every railroad employee, and especially does this column recommend its perusal to Pullman porters for, indirectly, they are now, and probably will be later on, affected in various ways by these different innovations. The fortunes of the railroads and the Pullman service are so closely related in the operation of long passenger-hauls and luxurious service that whatever situation is felt by the railroads is shared to a substantial degree by the Pullman Company. And now that this company has divorced its operating department from its manufacturing and other departments, the financial future of the railroads will, as a matter of course, be reflected more-than ever in the Pullman service. This is so obvious that it is hardly necessary to refer back to Mr. Angoff's article, but again we say it should be read, for between its lines one can partly understand what the Pullman Company is up against. While this opinion is not to be considered by any means as a defence of the Fullman company, yet these innovations that the railroads are continually introducing, in the hope of patronage, may have had some influence in the matter. We refer, of course, to the supplanting of Negro club-car porters with Filipinos. This competition among the rail carriers for travel has not only resulted in the operation of speedier, and more deluxe trains, but, as the writer on the subject aptly intimated, it has developed into an orgy of new and expensively-built cars. With the introduction of these cars, the railroads have not only advertised novelty in their furnishings, but they have advertised novelty in their service. It is what they ingeniously phrased (using Mr. Angooff's words) "refining the service". So, while this may not have been wholly the reason for the introduction of Filipinos on club cars, it is entirely theoretical to opine that there were circumstances other than those which appeared on the surface at the time for this change. Of course this is an opinion that is merely a supposition, and is not expected to be accepted literally; for the Negro race is a sentimental race. The fact that a corporation which was looked upon as a savior to Negroes would supplant members of that race with members of an alien group was too antithetical for Negro sentiment. Overlooking, however, that passing cloud, there is one condition in the railroad service which the Negro Pullman porter might consider an advantage. His employer has a monopoly of the sleeping and parlor car service in this country. If each railroad had its own individual deluxe service, or if there were several companies supplying this service, with this desire for innovations, there is no telling what might happen, despite the fact that it is said that nothing but black men could do or would do this sort of work. Although present and excellent refutation to that idea is the passe Negro hotel waiter and Negro hotel bellman. But whether you agree or not with this article, read Mr. Augoff's "The Railroads At Bay." Picked Up Here And There Perhaps there is some advantage in denouncing the other fellow, if you are opposed to him. But, personally, it has always appeared to the writer as being a waste of energy, that is if the denounced has committed no crime. Then, too, a denouncement, against a leader almost always has an opposite effect upon his followers. An item of news was published in this paper last week from Washington telling of a banquet which was tendered in that city to Mr. Perry Parker, grand chairman of the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association, by Pullman employees, and at which these employees affirmed their loyalty to their employer, the Pullman Company. This was pleasant news to Mr. Parker's friends; and without a doubt a satisfaction to his employer. But the question has been asked in a member of the P. P. B. A. in this city: "What advantage was there in denouncing A. Phillip Randolph, if the affair was held in honor of Mr. Parker?" Perhaps one of the 95 per cent porters in the Washington district an enlighten the questioner. This column is open for a reply. ,That's Nothing Strange or Novel Under the caption, "Returning To Georgia," a former Georgia, according to The Age, returning to his native home for the Christmas holidays, wrote to a friend of his experiences while enroute. Apparently twenty-five years' residence in New York and New Jersey had obliterated Negro customs, and Southern dialect from his mind, for the incidents and speech with which he came in contact on the jim-crow port of the trip were amusing features of his journey. But, let us say for one who has visited Negroes traveling in any large Mrs. Bethune Addresses Heads Of Negro Schools Dayton Beach, Fla.—Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune president of Bethune-Cookman College, went to Atlanta, Ga., to attend the biennial meeting of the presidents of Negro institutions operating under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Clark University, January 18-19, 1928. The secretary of the Negro Educational Department of the Board of Education, Dr. P. J. Mawcety, and Director of Education, Dr. M. Holmes, were both in attendance in problems of vital importance defining the institutions represented by presidents, were discussed. On Thursday morning, January 19, President Bethune addressed the meeting "The Educated Negro World's Responsibility." She is the only president in the connection. Mrs. Bethune left Atlanta on Thursday night, for Gainesville, Fla., to attend the Florida conference. group, it hardly makes much difference whether it is in Georgia or New York, their actions and talk in traveling are similar to their actions and talk in theatre-going. They are simply different in some respects from other folk, that's all.

In golden youth, when seems the gath, A summer land for singing mirth; When souls are glad and hearts are light And not a shadow lurks in sight, We do not know it, but there lies Somewhere, veiled under evening skies A garden all must sometime see— Somewhere lies our Gethsemane. With joyons steps we go our ways, Love lends a halo to our days, Light sorrows sail like clouds afar; We laugh, and say how strong we are. We hurry on, and hurrying go Close to the borderland of woe, That waits for you and waits for me. Forever waits Gethsemane Down shadowy lanes, across strange streams, Bridged over by our broken dreams, Behind the mist cap of years, Close to the great salt-fount of tears, The garden lies; strive as you may, You cannot miss if your way, All pain have been" shall be, Pass somewhere through Gethsemane. All those who journey soon or late Must pass within that garden's gate. Must kneel alone in darkness there, And battle with some fierce despair God pity those who cannot say, "Not mine, but Thine," who only pray, "Let this cup pass" and cannot see The purpose in Gethsemane. Mrs. FANNIEQ,QEALB, widow IN MEMORIAM Gone but not forgotten—ISABELLA C. BROWN, died January 1920 1920 Their niece, Bella Hall Irving and husband Henry C. Irving IN MEMORIAN William Barker who passed to the beyond January 23 1917, eleven years ago today. I miss you and mourn you in silence unseen. And dwell on the memory of days that have been; Though gone and forgotten by some you may be. The grave that contains 'you is sacred to me.
