TRAGIC DEATH OF J IN WASHINGTON REC WHEN BOOKER WAS HOUSE GUEST OF PR Washington, D. C.—The tragic death of John Spencer Bassett, famous historian, who was struck by a street star at Madison place and H street, as he was crossing to enter the Cosmos Club, on Friday January 27, recalls集中, with the fiasco in luncheon which Booker T. Washington was alleged to have eaten with President Roosevelt that the whole South, North Carolina in particular, lived in Tarboro, N. C., in 1867, where acres from Trinity College, N. C., Carolina, John H. University, Baltimore; author of a score of important historical volume, dealing with American and European history, Prof. Bassett was teaching history at Trinity when the Washington-Roosevelt incident occurred, in 1903. With the South seething with rage because Roosevelt did booker T. Washington to the White House at the then guest, Prof. Bassett was that placed the great Negro woman an estimate of the black next to Gen. Robert E. Lee as the South's preeminent.

Y.—Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander of 763 Pelham Road who is being paid $300 monthly as alimony, by her husband Leonard Kip Rhinelander, is suing now for separation on grounds of cruelty and abandonment, and her attorney, Samuel Swinburne, is asking Westchester and New York, to find him and serve the paparre. But the scone of one of New York's wealthiest and oldest families seems to have vanished entirely although there have been unsusstaniated rumors that he was seen in Florida. Since his failure to obtain nullification of his marriage to the colored girl his apparently born from New York, in the separation suit Mrs. Rhinelander is not stipulating the amount of alimony wanted, asking the Court to award her a reasonable provision. Failing to find Rhinelander, Attorney Swinburne will probably ask the Supreme Court to allow service by publication or the summons and complaint to Rhinelander's last known address.

But Trinity College, now Duke University at Durham, faculty and students, stood by the doughty young professor.

Celler Congressman Emmanuel Celler from the 10th congressional district (Brooklyn) has introduced a bill in Congress (H. R. 3979) providing for a medal to be awarded Matthew A. Henson, the only living man who has actually set foot upon the spot where the North Pole is located. Matt Henson, who is now living in New York City, attached to the United States Customs Service, was with Commander Robert Pearson on his North Pole expeditions, and was chosen by Peary as his only American companion in the final dash because of his gall, bravery and hardihood. It is reported that another bill of similar import is to be introduced by Congressman Clyde Kelley of Pennsylvania, but there, is doubt of its sincerity. Observers believe the second bill is intended to weaken or kill Celler's bill. Boston Woman Gives $2,000 To Replace Boilers At Sedalia Sedalia, N.

On Sunday morning, January 22, just before daybreak he heard screams for help coming from a hallway near Fifth avenue on 135th street. He investigated and found Lonnie Lattimore, 19, of 23 West 135th street, being beaten by three holdup men in the hallway of 25 West 135th street. Jumping into the fight, Williams succeeded pulling the three men from Lattimore, and they then started fighting. During the fight, one of the stick-up men tried to snatch Williams revolver from his holster. Williams used his night stick and hit one of the men on the head with it. The night stick broke. Williams took his prisoners to the station house where they were booked as Arthur Robinson, 24, of 261 West 134th street, Jafius Roberts, 25, of 54 West 136th street and James Roper, 28, of 3 East 134th street. They were held for robbery and assault. Police records show that Roper was arrested for committing two homicides in December, 1926, but was paroled on a gun charge. The fight with Williams received two jerarches of the left arm and a sprained left wrist. Arthur Robinson, over whose head the night stick was broken, said in court he "was a little hurt." No guns were found on the hold-up men, but it is believed that there is an unknown woman, an accomplice of the three men, who does the gun carrying for the trio, and who disappeared during the fight.

SLAVERY ENDS IN SIERRA LEONE BY LEGAL ENACTMENT 220,000 Are Freed Under Protectorate Established Jan. 1 SLAVERY ENDS IN SIERRA LEONE BY LEGAL ENACTMENT 220,000 Are Freed Under Protectorate Established Jan. 1 Freetown Sierra Leone, West Africa—The ordinance abolishing the legal status of slavery in the Sierra Leone Protectorate came into force Sunday, January 1. The number of people affected is roughly 220,000. Many having married into their masters' families will continue the communal life existing in the Republic. There has been no pressing request for compensation from slaveowners. In some districts many applications for employment have already been received from the newly freed workers. Among the Mendi tribe many slaves had definite positions which were secured by the use of certain land and the retention of some of the products of their labours, such cases it is believed only those who have been truly treated will seek a change. In other districts only a slight exodus is expected as there will be no difficulty regarding grants of land from the late masters to the late slaves. Other questions relating to marriage and property will be settled in accordance with native law and custom. It is believed that marriage between the free and the freed will soon settle the whole situation. One effect of the ordinance should be increased activity in the collection of produce, followed by a more general prosperity of the whole community. S. C.

The Society expends from $3,500 to $4,000 monthly in Harlem. $35,580 was expended in relieving 373 families, and the 189 Negro families received $15,254 of this sum. Miss Mary E.

On the station platform she told Counsel she intended killing herself and a few minutes later her action fitted the words, as she jumped in front of an approaching train. Counsel grabbed at the woman but only caught her coat which was unfastened, and easily slipped on her shoulders. The motorman applied emergency brakes to the strain, but too, laid to avoid striking the woman. Her body was wedged beneath the wheels of the second car after it had been cut in two by the first car. It required half an hour for a wrecking crew to lift the car and extricate the body. Bassengers were ordered from the train, and some of them almost fainted as the horrible sight. The injured body was taken in the West 135th street police station, where it was identified by Counsel. It was later turned over to relatives from New Jersey for burial. The dead woman occupied a small apartment alone and was alleged to have been keeping company with Counsel for some time previous to her death. Distinguished Boston People To Honor Mrs. Charlotte H.

C. and C.'s (Arbiter, Leader, and Critics) of Harlem, Brooklyn and The Jerseyes at the New Renaissance Casino on Friday evening. January 27, and there were no divided opinions about it, the consensus being decidedly unanimous that it was the prettiest and most artistic greeting that has been made so far this year in Harlem dance circles. Literally speaking, the affair was the annual dance and reception of this club, its ninth. The four hundred guests that were present comprised those persons whose names are frequently seen in the social columns of our Harlem rockies and those out-of-town rockies which have representatives here. As these beautifully powned women and formally garbed men wrenled their way into the popular Harlem casino, curious passerby stopped to view, and then admire, the handsome procession. But if that picture had the effect of drawing their admiration, and these same observers been permitted to enter the hall's ball room, they would have seen a scene of still greater beauty. A Floral Conservatory. They would have observed a ball room, ordinarily of handsome design, but on this occasion diverted into a ventable floral conservatory, in the center of which stood an Italian perola. Entwining the columns and toot of the perola were bacinihs and roses. In its center was an electrically propelled fountain, which generated bacinihs-secured perfume, filling the air of the dancing floor with faint and daimy odor. After each dance number the lady dancers would trip to the fountain to dip their fingers in the aromatic incendescent spray, which scene, with the beauty of their disoriented crowns, made a picture scene with the beauty of their diaphanous crowns, made a picture that would turn a Goddess Oread green with envy. Aside from their elite character, the yearly demos of this club are noted for their novel features. This year that feature was the pergola and its fountain, if the commenter's heard were criticisms. This novel was conceived and designed by T. H. Rulledge chairman of the club's entertainment committee and in vocational life a young master carpenter. Other features that helped to contribute in a general way to the success of the affair were the music provided by the casino's orchestra the service rendered by its attendants, and the hospitality that seemed to exude from every member's box.

The great Tuskegee girl's basketball team, coached by Mrs. Amelia C. Roberts, a graduate of Sargent, continued its long string of victories by defeating the Americus Institute lassies 43 to 12 in the Collis P. Huntington, Gumminium here Wednesday, January 25. The forward combination of Birch, Lindsey and Hill was too strong for the hard playing Americus Institute guards. Eloise Giren with eight field goals and four foul goals was the high score of the contest. Hattie Lindsey scored four field goals and three foul goals, Ruth Hill scored four field goals and two foul goals. The guards composed of F. Adams, Gordon, captain, and Tadlock played a great defensive game. For Americus, Harrison won the high point honors with one field goal and four foul goals. Morris played well, scoring one field goal Maxwell took second place with two field goals. Hunter, Green and Rucker played a good defensive game at guard. Probably the 'outstanding player on the Americus team was the diminutive Miss Williamson, who played her heart out despite the top heavy score of the Tigerettes.

Two Arabian Knights At Lincoln Theatre Love and laughter with two Americans soldiers and a Arab girl as the principals, are the principal ingredients of the "Two American Knights" post-war doughboy comedy-drama which will be at the Lincoln Theatre Thursday to Sunday. None of the sorrow of war enters the story which is concerned with the rollicking experience of a rich, young private and a hard-boiled sergeant, fated to be buddies throughout a series of hilarious adventures, though they have been natural enemies. In the film, two American doughboys escape from a prison camp and in the escape many laughs are to be had in the way they keep up the action of, not being known, many thrills feature this picture and comedy is not lacking. ```markdown ``` GEORGE L. FORD Veteran Porter, Recipes Accompaniments of Pullman Co. in behalf of Negro Labor. St. Philip's College Of San Antonio, Tex., Seeks Funds in New York Miss A. Bowden, principal of St. Phillip, Junior College, San Antonio, Texas, is now in New York soliciting funds for the completion of the Bishop J. S.

McElroy, South Pittsburg, $70 per month FLOOR Steam Heat, Large Front Window Display Pneumonia In Children Pneumonia is very common in children at this time of the year. Mothers are unable to understand why the doctor calls the condition bronchitis at one time, and broncho-pneumonia at the next visit. An illustration I am in the habit of using may make this clear to you. Imagine a bunch of grapes held in the usual way by the stem. And let us say that the main stem and smaller, ones and the grapes are hollow, and that between the hollow stems and grapes there are many fine threads. Imagine all this enclosed in a two layered bag. Now then, the main stem would represent the wind-pipe. The first two divisions of the stem, the primary bronchi, would connect with smaller or smaller bronchi, until we get to the grape, which would represent the air-veices or air-spaces of the lung. The threads would represent the blood vessels and the two layered bag the pleura or covering of the lung. Now at the upper end of the main stem is the voice-box or larynx, and this is connected with the back of the throat and mouth. Now suppose disease producing bacteria in the mouth decide to go out for a walk. They may lodge in the back part of the throat or pharynx and produce a laryngitis (sore throat). They may go further and invade the voice-box or larynx and produce a laryngitis. Then the baby would not only have fever, which is a sign that the body is resisting the invading army of bacteria. It would also have a cough. It would also have a rash on the trachea, which you remember corresponds to the main stem of our bunch of grapes, which we said was hollow. Inflammation of the trachea is called tracheitis. Now if the child is old enough it will tell you that it has a sensation of pressing or soreness or pain just beneath the sternum that is the bristle-stone. In infants, the doctor can tell from the character of the breathing and the reaction of the child whether this is so or not. Our invading army of bacteria continue their advance along the two main divisions of the stem, the primary bronchi. Now the baby will have bronchitis, with an increase in the cough, fever, and rapid breathing and rapid pulse rate. Now if the resistance of the child is not good or if the advancing army is too powerful it will not take the bacteria very long to reach the smallest stems and even the hollow grape itself. This can happen in twelve hours. And then the child has pneumonia. When this happens in small areas in both lungs we call the condition broncho-pneumonia. If it happens in one lung only the (grape) air-spaces, are filled with a substance of the consistency of jello, and if you will imagine that our threads, the blood-vessels, are congested, then we have the condition known as lohar pneumonia. Right here let me state this—when the doctor has made the diagnosis of pneumonia many mothers ask what day the "crisis" will occur. The crisis is the time when there is a sudden dropping of the temperature, around the seventh or ninth day. There is a crisis in the onesided, lohar pneumonia. THERE IS NO CRISIS IN BRONCHO-PNEUMONIA!! A child with this condition may sick for two weeks at least. child whist this condition maybe very sick for two weeks at least. Again, mothers insist that the doctor "bring the fewer down." Now a certain amount of fever, to be determined by your doctor, is good sign. It shows good resistance. If you get in a fight, you perjage and feel warm. When the body is fighting disease, it gets warm and we say the baby has fever. When the inflammation involves the air spaces the baby has difficulty in getting its breath, so the wings of the nose may be seen to dilate with each breath. Again the inflammation may extend to the two layered bog or pleura so that the two layers stick together instead of moving freely. When this happens we have a pleuria, and the child may give evidence of having a pain in its side. Bronchopneumonia commonly follow the ordinary cold, gripe, bronchitis, measles, wiping-cough, scarlet-fever and diptheria. It is frequent in malnourished or rheatic infants, or as a complication in diarrheal diseases. Over-heated or irregularly heated animents with over-clothing the baby, lack of fresh air, improper food, insufficient sunshine and exercise are the 'basic factors which predispose a baby- or any one else to develop pneumonia. Browno-pneumonia is second on the list of the most common causes of death in the first year. Over 75 per cent. of the pneumonias during the first two years are of this variety. Williams Commended By January Grand Jury For Intelligent Police Work So impressed were the members of the Additional Grand Jury for the January 1928 Term, with the police work of Patrolman Charles Williams of the 16th Precinct, West 135th street police station, as evidenced by his testimony before them in the case against William Frazier who was charged with robbing Donato Baluchucci, that they voluntarily wrote a letter, to Police Commissioner Joseph Warren, commending Williams. The letter, signed by the foreman and secretary, read as follows: "It is the desire of the Additional Grand Jury for the January 1928 Term to call to your attention the case against William Frazier, charged-with the crime of Robbery, in which Officer Charles Williams, Shield No. 11976, attached to the 16th Precinct, arrested the said defendant on January 7, 1928 while he was in the act of robbing one Donato Baluchucci at the point of a revolver. The statements of Officer Williams before the Grand Jury and especially his detailed description of the evidence collected by him, showed that his police work was of the highest order.

Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Purely Vegetable for a long time. The drug-gist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made in to tea and take it any time. I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pop. I would not be without it for double the price." Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose. Sold Everywhere S. J.

The charges brought against these officers, who are supposed to execute the mandates of the municipal courts, included discountes, abuse of power, imposition upon aliens and illiterates, misrepresentation and assuming without right the status of lawyers. Numerous complaints had been made to the Mayor's office covering these counts, and he called the marshals together from the five boroughs to tell them that such practices must be stopped. The Mayor also told the marshals that they had become cold and callous in their jobs and failed to exercise that courtesy and consideration due to the unfortunates with whom they came in contact. They should not only be courteous, but try to be more charitable and more humane. They were censured because of complaints that many of them solicited business and advertised that they would foreclose chattel mortgages without court action. He reprimanded them for claiming to have influence in the municipal courts and for attempting to act as lawyers by filing papers and answering court cases. PUSSYFOOTING REPUBLICANS. In this era of latterday Republicanism, it is refreshing to hear such a conspicuous leader as Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, take a decided stand on public issues. Dr. Butler has been in the habit of doing this thing at home, where his opposition to prohibition enforcement has given his less courageous associates shivers. But Dr. Butler carried his outspoken sentiments to Ohio last week, now the home of cautious and time-serving Republicans. There he denounced pussyfooting in vigorous terms, the occasion being the installation of officers at the Blaine Club in Cincinnati. Too often the marshal has been a virtual retainer of an extortionate landlord or renting agency or a greedy instalment house, bent on grabbing excessive profits from careless customers, by reclaiming their goods just before the final payment is made. Through sharp practice of a devious nature and the frequent employment of strong-arm tactics, the purchasers of furniture and household goods find themselves deprived of both money and possessions, through the actions of the seller, served by city marshals seizing the articles without just cause. The game is to allow the buyer on time to make all but the last payment, and then seize the goods by force to sell them over again. Politicians who carefully conceal their opinions on all public questions, while they creep on their hands and knees to the White House, were classed by the speaker as "pussyfooting." This tendency had the effect of delaying action on all the important questions of the day, such as prohibition, agriculture relief, flood prevention and other mutters clamoring for attention. Dr. Butler said that these pussyfooters haven't even the courage to say that they aspire to the Presidential office, much less to express their frank and honest opinion on issues of moment. Timidity is the characteristic that now predominates in Republican politics, with the exception of a few outspoken leaders, like Dr. Butler himself and such Congressmen as Hamilton Fish, F. H. LaGuardia and Emanuel Celler, all of New York. A more brazen case than this was reported of an establishment on West 125th street, which sold a woman nearly one hundred dollars worth of goods and accepted her deposit of ten dollars and the first weekly payment of four dollars. Despite this payment this house refused either to deliver the goods or return the money, fourteen dollars. These are the arbitrary methods practiced by some instalment houses in dealing with those customers whom they consider too ignorant or too weak to make any effective protest. In such sharp practices, as a rule, they are backed up by the marshal. During his stay in Cincinnati Dr. Butler had the further tenacity to speak in high terms of Governor Smith of New York and his accomplishments in reforming the State administration. He pointed out that when the Governor advocated a change in the fundamental law to simplify state government, he appointed a citizens commission to study the matter, naming ten Republicans and seven Democrats. The bills reported by this commission were passed unanimously by the Legislature and approved by the Governor. The Governor has catered to Republican sentiment by taking up the reforms advocated by that party and making them part of his policy. On the other hand local Republicanism has made the mistake of opposing laudable measures merely because the Governor has favored them. It is highl time that the Mavor put the fear of God, or the fear of removal, into the men who act as city marshals. LITERARY BUFFOONERY. In the February number of the American Mercury is to be found a deplorable example of literary buffoonery, written by Eugene Gordon, a Boston newspaper man whom we deemed capable of better things. The article is styled "The Negro's Inhibitions." and, as the Philadelphia Tribune aptly said, it ignored the most pronounced inhibition among Negro writers: "Their desire to obtain an audience in white publications restrains them for writing the things which their natural impulses urge them to express. Realizing that a white editor must pass on their manuscript, they submerge their inner feelings and plow through all the illth. and slime to which their natures are their." Be this as it may, we think that Mr. Gordon, who had gained some reputation as a critic of the Negro press, has made an exhibition of himself as a literary buffoon which is calculated to disappoint his friends, while contributing to the stock of innocent merriment of a thoughtless and indifferent reading public. As a sample of Mr. Gordon's assumption that the Negro has developed exhibitions against a liking for chickens and watermelon, as well as bright colors, take the following comic exaggerations. In the February number of the American Mercury is to be found a deplorable example of literary buffoonery, written by Eugene Gordon, a Boston newspaper man whom we deemed capable of better things. The article is styled "The Negro's Inhibitions," and, as the Philadelphia Tribune aptly said, it ignored the most pronounced inhibition among Negro writers: "Their desire to obtain an audience in white publications restrains them for writing the things which their natural impulses urge them to express. Realizing that a white editor must pass on their manuscript, they submerge their finer feelings and plow through all the filth and slime to which their natures are heir." The pussyfooting of Republican leaders on vital questions is bound to produce a reaction among the people unfavorable to Republican success in the next Presidential contest. Coupled with the fatuous policy of opposing sound legislation at Albany, merely because the suggestion comes from a Democratic Governor, it does not strengthen the party in the eyes of the independent voter. Such a course is bound to make Governor Smith a more outstanding and stronger political figure as a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. He is now the strongest figure in sight on the Democratic side, and there are but few Republicans who can give him a good fight for the electoral vote of New York State. Be this as it may. we think that Mr. Gordon, who had gained some reputation as a cratic of the Negro press, has made an exhibition of himself as a literary buffoon which is calculated to disappoint his friends, while contributing to the stock of innocent merriment of a thoughtless and indifferent reading public. As a sample of Mr. Gordon's assumption that the Negro has developed inhibitions against a liking for chickens and watermelon, as well as bright colors, take the following comic exaggerations. "When she (the Aframerican housewife) desires a chicken, she either orders it by telephone, or perhaps wheedles one of her fair-skinned neighbors to do the dirty work. Sometimes, if she knows the marketman to be, an imaginative foreigner she will not hesitate. But even if she buries the fowl at the bottom of her shopping bag and slinks some by the door, she is Aframerican in certain their Caucasian friends at dinner, the pale-faces will book in vain for any trace of chicken." What the Republican party needs is fewer pussyfooters and more men like Dr. Butler, who possess decided convictions with the courage to voice them. All the world likes and admires a good fighter, regardless of creed, color or political affiliation. This is one of the reasons for Governor Smith's strength among the voters of New York. Let the pussyfooters take a lesson from his example, and go and do likewise. The question then will no longer be asked. Is the Republican party afraid to meet the situation. "Nevertheless, colored hats and red especially—among African American middle class respectable women, are taboo. As a matter of fact, bright colors in any part of the clothing are shunned. As a consequence, the average gathering of dark ladies is a most drab and funereal affair." Mr. Gordon ceases to be funny when he discusses the alleged inhibitions based in complexion, and his animadversions directed against a Boston social organization snack more of personal malice than a student of sociology might ordain a diploma. Social grudges, should Mr. Gordon ceases to be funny when he discusses the alleged inhibitions based on complexion, and his animadversions directed against a Boston social organization sunack more of personal malice than a student of sociology might ordinarily display. Social grudges should not enter into the discussion of such questions as Mr. Gordon has sought to MAYOR AND THE MARSHALS. Mayor Walker showed unwonted interest in the workings of a branch of the city administration last week, when he had some sixty city marshals before him and sharply warned them against abusing their authority by the oppression of raise in this article. Mr. Gordon has not added to his literary reputation by this further effort to don the cap and bells of the magazine jester. FAILURE OF THE CHURCHES At the annual meeting of the Executive Committee of the Federal Council of Churches, held in Cleveland, an interesting exhibition of the failure of the church's representatives to grasp vital issues was given. When it was proposed to adopt a resolution demanding the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment for enforcement of prohibition, the sentiment was reported as unanimous in its favor. But when delegates of the Negro churches proposed that the committee also go on record as demanding enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendment, things were not so smooth. "The Rev. Dr. George C. Summy, white delegate from New Orleans, was glad with an objection; couched in this Pecksniffian strain: "Now, let's be careful lest we touch matters of a political nature and commit ourselves to something that will soil the garments of the Bride of Christ." This hypocritical appeal resulted in deferring the consideration of the resolution and when the matter came up again two resolutions were adopted. One demanded the "effective enforcement of the Prohibition law." The other simply demanded "honest enforcement of the Constitution, including all amendments," but failed to specify the Fourteenth and Fifteenth in particular despite the fact that the Negro delegate pointed out that this was the main issue that it was desired to have the churches act upon. This evasion of a burning question of right and wrong by these representatives of the Christian churches of this country is not calculated to exalt the church in the minds of thinking people. If the church can put itself on the side of the enforcement of prohibition, involving moral issue, it surely can afford to come out plainly in advocacy of the doctrine of human rights involved in the two War amendments. But, no, it chooses to pass on the other side like the priest and the Levite in the parable of the Good Samaritan. Respect for the church as a human agency cannot be stimulated by such hypocrisy and evasion of responsibility.

The blackjack seems to have taken first place as an argument on the side of Garveyism in Harlem, judging from a incident which took place a few weeks ago in one of the churches of that section. The pastor of the Harlem Community Church on West 130th street the Rev. Ethelred Brown, on January The Blackjack seems to have taken first place as an argument on the side of Garveyism in Harlem, judging from an incident which took place a few weeks ago in one of the churches of that section. The pastor of the Harlem Community Church on West 136th street, the Rev. Ethelred Brown, on January 15, undertook to discuss "The Deportation of Marcus Garvey; a Study in Guilt, Spite and Leadership." He drew a picture of Garvey as a good propagandist, but not a great leader, and held that Garvey was unmistakably guilty of the offense against the United States laws, with which he was charged. His deportation to the West Indies was held to be a merciful act on the part of the Federal government, merciful to the entire Negro race, according to the speaker. This view of the case did not meet the approval of the followers of Garvey in the audience and the debate broke up in a bitter row, during which the rowdy element became demonstrative with blows as well as words. The pastor retreated to an ante-room, where he was knocked unconscious with a blackjacket, which struck his head with great force. Others of the mob set to work to wreck the meeting hall, breaking chairs, smashing windows and destroying hymnbooks, according to the story told by the pastor. A derby hat was the only clue left to the identity of the pastor's assailant, but no claimant has yet appeared for it. Now, a blackjack is a dangerous weapon, consisting of a short leather covered club, weighted at the end, and easily concealed on the person of the carrier. It is an effective stopper to any verbal argument, that may be put up by the opposing party, as the unfortunate pastor now realizes, after having had several stitches taken in his head. The fact that the supporters of Garvey came to the meeting armed with a weapon of this character, shows the temper of this faction in Harlem. It is in keeping with the declaration made by the group of his supporters during a Garvey parade some time ago, when it was declared that only those wearing Garvey insignia should be allowed upon the streets. The spirit of intolerance and violence exhibited by these supporters of Garvey indicate the menace that his teachings carried to the peace of the community. It fully justified his deportation as an undesirable alien. His supporters should take warning from the fate of their lead- THE AGE READERS' FORUM Randolph, dealing in superlatives, promises the porters and maids that he will, through the Labor Board, force the Pullman Company to give them an increase in wages of more than 100 per cent. He also promises that 240 hours will be the basic months' work, notwithstanding the fact that 240 as a basic months' work is not feasible for the operation of sleeping cars. All other colored employees in the Pullman service work on the 240 hours basis, and the nature of the work is the only thing that prevents the porters from working on the same basis. These promises are misleading, impossible of accomplishment, as made solely for the purpose of cexing the porters and maids. The Railroad Labor Board has been lished. The Mediation Board under the Watson Parker Law has been created to supplant the old Labor Board. The Mediation Board has no mandatory power to force arbitration. Its objective is to get the contending parties together; that the employer and employee, and have them settle their differences in an amicable manner. The law is based on good will and mutual understanding between the parties. It is a directory and not a mandatory law. This law will never function when one party indulges in libel and slander and such vilification and misrepresentation as has characterized the action of this so called Brotherhood of torturers, and indolphin being defeated in effort to force recognition or arbitration, and knowing that something must be done to encourage the porters and maids, and to probing the life of this organization, unwisely files a petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission praying the abolition of tips, does not require the genius of a Philadelphia lawyer to see that this move is the height of folly. The powers and duties of the Interstate Commerce Commission are to see that the railroads perform all services required under the term of common carriers and 18 regulate freight and passenger rates. To be more specific, it has to do with the safety of equipment, the number of trains, rates of speed, illegal operations, numbers of stops and relocate. These are included in the things included in the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Wages, and labor disputes are not in their jurisdiction. Those who have supported this propaganda and followed this method of procedure have contributed heavily and largely towards the self-aggrandizement of one who cherishes the ambition to some day he a Negro "Samuel Gompers." He says unto us: "Follow me, and I will lead you into the promised 'land.' I am sorry to say that many of us, misguided and deceived, have followed him, and the promised land proved to be a mirage in the desert as we have approached, and under his leadership has been supplanted by 200 Filipinos, 200 Mexicans, and one railroad has gone so far as to request the Bulman Company to replace all Negro partners operating over their system with Mexicans. This is food for thought for the race leaders and the Negro press When the railroads are closed as an avenue of employment for colored men, where will they go? What will they do? The big economic question of the race today is to find employment for the twelve million who must earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. Mr Randolph practically admits that the petition before the Interstate Commerce Commission will be thrown out because of lack of jurisdiction. He says plans are being formulated to bring about an emergency so that the President can be asked to intercede. A Negro labor conference has been called and asked to devise ways and means to raise money to tie the porters over this emergency. The only legal cochain sign that can be used to tie the porters is to call a strike of porters and maids. A strike would be economic suicide for the porters and maids. There are thousands of ex-Pullman porters in the large centers of this country who would gladly take their places. The employment bureau is literally clogged with applications and petitions. There is a need for re-employment and restraining. There are also thousands of ex-cleaners who would like to be Pullman. man porters, who already know how to make beds and operate the cars. These men would welcome a strike, as it would well afford them an opportunity to get better pay, easier and more agreeable work. There is also an army of hotel waiters, bell boys, red caps, and men employed in other walks of life, who are constant sending applications for employment to The Indian Company, and I predict that if the porter strikes, not a single train would be anuilled, not a single sleeper discontinued, and conditions would be normal in less than twenty-four hours. It is a lamentable fact that great harm is being done the innocent but gullible porters by telling them that the company cannot get along without colored men to operate their sleeping cars. It is true that the company cannot get along without porters, but not necessarily colored porters. White porters operate sleepers in Europe, Mexicans in Mexico, and Chinese in China. There is nothing about the work so complex or technical that only one race is competent to do it. A short while ago a questionnaire was sent to the big corporations and firms inquiring as to the number of colored people" in their employment, the nature of the work given them; amount of business transacted with the colored race, and asking that promotion be given" colored employees commensurate with their ability, and that colored field be employed in, proportion to the business transacted with the race. The majority of these groups were little encouragement. Some of them were writing frankly stated they only employed colored people as janitors, porters and maids, and did not promote them. Had one been sent to the Pullman Company, its reply would have been as follows: "We employ a larger group of colored people than any corporation in the world. In our large industrial shops we have several thousands skilled mechanics, electricians, upholsters, painters, cabinet makers. In our offices we employ clerks, time keepers, welfare workers, investigators, instructors, messengers. In our operating department we employ 12,000 porters, 463 maids, many thousand car cleaners, porters who run in charge as stewards. Our payroll no longer people runs into millions per year. There are splendid chances for promotion. No other corporation in America offers so many advantages and privileges as the Pullman Company." The inequalities in the scale of human equations as applied to the Negro race are not due to the Pullman Company, as you have been told, but are due to conditions of American society. The race does not get the same privileges, opportunities and remuneration as the white race in any sphere in American life. There are differentations and inequalities applied to us in the national government, in the religious world, in the educational field, and it most keenly felt in the economic and political fields. The causes of these inequalities are aired, and many are due to the wide distinctions in color of skin, texture of hair in the environment; partly due to an organized effort to maintain a system of caste in this country; and finally they are partly due to the limitations of the Negro himself. I do not hesitate to say that of the sins perpetrated against the Negro in America, the Pullman Company is less to blame than any other corporation or institution. A resume of the achievements of the so-called Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, since their inception in 1925, shows that it has been a complete failure, and discloses a shameless squander of money. They claim as their counsel, Untermyer, Richberg, Walsh and Hunt, eminent counsel, but with radical tendencies. Just how this brilliant array of legal expertise can force a corporation to arbitrate against its will, or to do anything under the Watson and Parker Law, not expressly or impliedly included in the terms of the law, is a mystery to the most elementary minds of the profession. They boast of 8,000 bona fide members, which would mean $40,000 in membership fees. The dues of 8,000 members, at a dollar per month, for twenty-eight months would be $24,400. a grand total of $64,000. If the poor Pullman porter is overworked and underpaid to such an extent that he cannot afford a comfortable home or send his children to school, or even to enjoy the necessities of life, it is almost robbed to take $34,400. A similar taxation is this type when you have not gained for him any increase, in pay or any better working, condition; not even you have gained recognition; obviously, a money making scheme for the few, and a costly experiment for the many. If Mr. Randolph would use this money to organize an investment company, to buy homes, or invest in mortgage bonds, or some other business enterprise, it would be a better remedy for the evils that confront us, and a greater asset to the race than the phantom chasing he has indulged in for the past two years. They have waged a campaign of shatter and vilification of the lowest order. Every porter who did not join the union or disagreed with Randolph's views has been stigmatized as a steel pigment and handkerchief head. Every newspaper that did not support his views has been disloyal to the race. Every professional man who dared to disagree Taking issue with certain statements charging the coal companies with peonie e and other evils, the Pittsburg Guard said: The truth of this situation, as often stated locally, is that the coal industry has been widely opened up to Negro labor where it has not been opened up before. Racor miners have jobs in local mines that union forces would not permit them to secure. The great fight being waged locally and nationally against a non-unionized coal industry is the main, a fight to keep Negro out of the mines. If the black coal industry is dominated by race labor, the most prominent problems will be solved. Where it has had unsettlement in the past it will have a settled labor condition. Unionism has been carried to an extreme in this industry as in some others. Production has been retarded, the phrase, "Too many miners," really meant too many miners, who do not produce. The Negro miner produces. In the coal fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia he throws out coal from the pits because of an energy that unionism does not like. Even the unionism union men seek to institute a form of sabotage which makes, it annoying and inconvenient for the race miner to produce as he wants to. The union forces like to divide up every little movement. Why? So as to make as many jobs as possible and so as to make work last as long as it will. For these reasons it imposes labor which believes in turning out a full day's work for a full day's work. Unionism holds little in industry for the Negro. His greatest strength lies in the open shop. His activity in the mines and factories where he is permitted to work in any numbers is showing the employers of America his loyalty and energy. He does not like the "make work" policy of the unionist. The Pittsburg editor calls for a first hand investigation of the facts by the organizations making the charges Reitering to the Harmon award to Anthony Overton for distinguished achievement in business, following the award of the Spingarn medal last July, the Chicago Bee said: That Mr. Overton was selected by one organization as meriting the prize was commendable; that he has been selected by a second group is both remarkable and outstanding, in that it appreciates and recognizes the true worth, industry, ambition, merit and accomplishments of one whose interests and energy have been directed in a field in which many have labored, in which many have succeeded, but without public recognition. Mr. Overton's success, then has not only a dual value, but a triple value in that it not only honors him but directs attention to and honors the great field of business, the Gibraltar of all our hopes of future substantial progress. He has not only brought honor and distinction upon himself, his field of endeavor and his group, but also his group, pluck, industry, thrift and courage that all ambitious youths may well emulate and seasoned leaders follow. More and more Negro business enterprises are being relied upon to furnish the solution to the economic phase of our problems. Mr. Overton's work that has won for him such renowned points the way to its successful adoption to this end. Mr. Overton's deep and abiding faith and confidence in his own people, his active participation in civic affairs has endeared him to all Chicagoans and his selection for these honors meets the popular approval of all classes of citizens of all groups of Chicago and the country at large. Individually by the attainments and influence of the class of leaders, such as Mr. Overton the real, lasting and creditable friends may be formed, real progress made and substantial gains for the race netted Mr. Overton is to be congratulated and commended. The importance of economic advancement was fully recognized in these awards. Stigmatizing the cry of "regretation" raised by black men against a hospital project, as raising a bogey man, the Boston Chronicle said. There is at the New Plymouth Hospital, for instance, the promoters of this institution are on solitary ground. They simply say that there should be a hospital in Brooks managed by Negroes qualified to do their motive is to provide training required of medical school graduates before going into actual practice, and the objective is to send our qualified Negro physicians to serve an adling and sick community. Additionally there would be a training school for nurses; of course the hospital would have patients—and they wouldn't be confined to race—particularly if it some serious accident should occur in the vicinity, all of which serve the main purpose of a first-class institution primarily dedicated to the training of Negro physicians and nurses. It would mean two blades of grass where none visibly grew, for there is now a place where Negro medical students may get necessary obstetrical work of lock of ability, and finally they charged the Pullman Company with stealing millions of dollars in back pay awarded to the porters during the World War. The very nature of these wild and silly charges stamps the organization as one of deception and unreliability. GEORGE L. FORD 68 Edgence avenue Porter Penn. Term Digit SATURDAY, FEBRIARY 4, 1925 AGE EDITORS LAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS and not a single hospital in all New England where a black medical school graduate can be an interne. Under the circumstances, the projected hospital would appear to serve a worthy purpose. But the reasons given for its establishment are not creditable to New England liberalism. The Baltimore Afro-Amercom had the following pertinent comment on "Our Own Fraternals," which carries a little sting to it: An autoist on the Baltimore-Washington Boulevard would have gotten off with speeding except for the fact that he honked his horn so loudly passing other cars that he attracted the attention of a state road policeman. Texas shirrers were organized in 1902. They would have existed until now without bother from whites but in 1918 they elected to parade. This week the Supreme Court's hearing is a case in which colored Shirrers are asking relief from an imprisonment secured in Texas that enjoins them from using the machembs and insignia of the shirrue. Just one little parade down in Texas started this country-wide agitation to kill the shirrue order among colored people. made up. ? So possible as long it op- turns a full industry strength active the members america does not for a facts g the award english- follow- medal d: Of course Negroes have as much right, legal and moral, to the shrine idea and ritual as whites. In fact, they have more. The order founded by black Arabians has spread thru the world. A victory of the whites in the Supreme Court might convince the colored shriners of the folly of colored demonstration in the hostile south- land. They also give an impetus to Negroes not patterned after whites. Success of the St. Lukes, Mosaic Templars, Samaritans and Royal Knights of King David indicate that the fraternal idea is susceptible of original and expansive development, resulting in an order that is not only the Negroe's own, but bears his stamp, and serves his purposes better than any other. It is hardly conceivable that any fraternal organization could exist and prosper without opportunity to parade in regalia. That is asking too much of nature whether white or black. Commenting on the passing of the Rev. Matthew Anderson, whom it styled one of the city's greatest humanitarians, the Philadelphia Tribune said: Matthew Anderson founded the Beren Building and Loan Association in connection with the Beren Presbyterian Church. It has grown to be the largest association of its kind among Negroes: He was not satisfied to feed alone the spiritual needs of his people. He understood that the progress of his race depend on high economic standards. Not content with the establishment of a savings institution he founded the Beren School for preparation of boys and girls for gainful occupations. The closing of a life such as that of Matthew Anderson causes a distinct loss to the Negro race. Who will take his place? Who will carry out the great program begun by this mighty son of the black race? These and other questions press for answers as we think of the bigness and grandeur of the man. We have so few really great men who work instead of talk; who construct beautiful things rather than criticize; who can plan and carry out those plans, that the going of Dr. Anderson causes a void and in death perhaps greater than in life we will understand the true worth of the man. The face, that thousands of our youth have been enabled to attain positions of usefulness, through the assistance of Dr. Anderson, constitutes a lasting tribute to his worth to the community. A writer in the Savannah Tribune calls attention to the fact that the City of Savannah, in a pictorial folder, listing some fifty points of interest to tourists, included the following: "First African Baptist Church, Bryan and Montgomery Street, the oldest Negro church of any denomination in the United States, organized May 20th 1775. The present site was purchased from white Baptists in 1832 and the present brick structure was completed in 1859. This church is famous throughout the country and especially noted for its music, noted white passers-by, preached to tourists, always welcome to the services. Also the Yellow Cab Company has included this church on its official route and incorporated the above statement in the lecture of the guides on its sightseeing buses, as they show and tell about Savannah to the thousands of tourists through our beautiful city all the time. Before so listing the Fire African Baptist Church, the Board of Trade secured copies of our church history and satisfied itself as to the veracity of the facts set forth there; all of which are authenticated by the ancient records of the Sunbury Association, minutes of the First Baptist Church, white, the "History of Georgia Baptists," the folio of the Chatham County Court House and sunny other orks, where the facts are set forth as plain as day and are easily accessible to anyone who wants to investigate. This statement of the claims of this vulnerable institution is intended to settle a perennial controversy between certain Savannah churches tuesday, February 4, 1928 THE NEW YORK AGE PAGE NUMBER CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Grace Church of Harlem A full house, a splendid audience, a fine sermon and a rich service and excellent music, both as to variety and quality, left no doubt as to the high standing of Grace Church among the progressive religious forces of New York City, "Too much praise is not courted by people who are doing great and good work, but it is fair to say that Grace Church is earnestly trying to contribute something to the real life of Harlem. The minister is wild awake man. The Baptist, the Rev. Dr. H. V. Dean, who has been preaching ten days series of sermons was excellent, though the theme took the familiar as Bible texts he made them live anew. His works were satisfactory to the people who attended the meetings in increasing numbers. Miss Sue Barber joined with the church. Two converts of last Sunday went to other churches. A feature of the morning service last Sunday was the dedication of a telegram from William J. Patterson, the donor, was read, Mr. Patterson was in Lexington, Ky., and could not be present, but the family and the Chicago Club were guests of honor. The president of the Chicago Club touched the button that flashed the light for the first time from this beautiful memorial. The pastor, Rev. A. C. Garner, explained the value of the cross as a memorial. The Empire Jubilee Quartet sang a group of jubilee songs; the pastor read appropriate passages of scripture; the choir responded with a verse of "In the Cross of Christ, I glory." and "When I survey the wondrous Cross." a few words from the pastor, and a scripture quotation might be an Light way and Mrs. Stella pastor president the Chicago Club pressed the and the cross flashed a brilliant white light. The choir burst forth with song, "Shine, Shine." It was a hallowed moment, Handkerchiefs gently pressed tearful eyes. The song finished and Dr. W. M. Howlett closed with prayer and benediction. The cross was lighted on the pulpit floor, and will be placed on the front of the building immediately. The 3 p. m. service to men only preached by Evanuelist W. H. Dean on the subject, "Samson." It was a delightfully fresh and invigorating sermon. The audience was not large but appreciative. One convert on his knees was encircled by the entire group of men joined hand in hand as they witnessed by scripture texts. At the night service, Dr. Dean spoke on "Anchors that Hold." He chose his ten days of service Monday night and went to West Virginia. Last Tuesday night the St. Luke's held an educational loan fund meeting and on Wednesday, the Apex Angage of Advanced Beauty Culture held graduating exercises. Friday night, Mrs. Patti Christian presented a concert by a group of young people. Among the sick this week: Mrs. Justine Alexander at Rosewell Hospital; Mrs. Ethel Barnwell, Mrs. Lenuel Foster. A letter has been received from Mrs. Josephine Brathwaite, visiting Demarara British Guiana, reporting indisposition, but much joy at being among loved ones and sending best wishes to all in Grace Church. First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock services, Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the text: 'And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and grace, and God was upon upon.' St. Jude 2:40 'Theme: The Unique, God-Child.' Pastor Bolden said: Mary and Joseph, parents of the Holy Child, our Lord Jesus the Eminemman, carried the child to the Temple at Jerusalem for the purpose of observing the law governing the life of male children. During and after the ceremony in the Temple, aged and devout Simeon, the aged, distinguished prophetess, perceiving that this Child was the heir of the Jews and the Son of God, spoke out in诗etic and prophetic language concerning Him, and also gave thanks unto God our Heavenly Father for the privilege that had been vouchsafed to them to see the Saviour and Redeemer of the world. Luke says that after the parents of the Child had performed all things according to the law of the Lord as gifts this Child, they returned to Gilder for their own city Nazareth, and to the in town the language of the text, that the children of the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, gifted with wisdom and the grace of God was upon him." Jerusalem was controlled by religious people who claimed to know the laws of God, and to be His earthly representatives. Among the Jews were various jealous, sex-emphasizable dogmas and doctrines. Among the Roman rulers were distinguished by the theistic worshippers in Jerusalem. Hence Jerusalem was called a religious outland in importance in the city the great and beautiful Temple built and maintained through the years in garrison splendor for the purpose of visiting the Presence of Jebovah God the Almighty, in the world of humanity. The prophetic and priestly influence over the worshippers presented here was world renown. And there were specific occasions, when the Jews throughout the world shewed the laws of God and commanded the rulers and adored them. Learn our worship and adoration. Learn our parents, as other Jews, visited the Temple on stated occasions. But the Sederlin, the Temple lead- ers, the political rulers, the worshipers assembled the masses of two people did not know that the child brought into the temple by its parents was a unique, holy humankind Divine Child, creator of heaven and earth, God the Almighty, now making manifest in the world of humanity the boundless and incomprehensible love of God as Father of all, the author and giver of everlasting Life, to those who believe in Him. It is a mystery and there is difficulty for the average mind, and even for the trained mind from the school of human experience to accept the truth that this "child grew, waxed and filled his赋 wisdom (or understanding) and the grace of God was upon him." But to those who accept this truth and are born anew by the Holy Spirit, the reality of the same dawn upon them, And the God-consciousness draws the divine creative energy or life into the dominion of their imagination, intuition, and the realm of their human sense perception. And they realized that the Child, Child or God-consciousness was not only in them believers in Him. And if they, through prayer and meditation, will carry out the functions of law and keep this Divine Child Christ thought in uncontaminated and unpolluted residences and sections, so that it may be surrounded in a healthy wholesome atmosphere. Thrive in the community and grow vigorously in the home of their mind. in the home of children today, after encouraging their children to see demoralizing pictures and plays, take no interest in selecting the child's book companions, youth companions, and religious parental companions should not expect them to develop into fine and exemplary men and women. Salacious books, wicked companions and unprayful and ungodly homes is the basis of the sensuality and wildness of the people to-day. It is possible for godly parents and holy children to live in a community that has a stigma attached to it, such as Maraert had, and so affect the environment for good that the name of town or place may be given in place of adoration. May our lives reveal the uniqueness of Emmanuelism. , At 2 p.m. the Sunday School convened. At the evening service Pastor Bolden continued his discourse of the morning service.

Rush Memorial Church "Christian's Inheritance" Colossius 1:12 was the subject of Dr. Oliver's sermon last Sunday morning. It was one that could be understood and thoroughly appreciated by all who were present. A Christian is the highest style of man; he is one who has had a vision, and has obeyed the command of Him who sent the vision. As the beautiful days of his life are drawing to a close, the Christian cannot only look back upon a life well-spent, but he can look forward to a crown of life, which has been left to those who do the will of their Master. Eternal life and happiness is his inheritance. The musical program presented by the chair at 3 p. m. was of high order, Cleveland G. Allen presided. His opening remarks were complimentary, concerning the work of the choir and other organizations of Rush Church under the leadership of Dr. G. M. Oliver.

Church Sunday being Young People's Day, Dr. Cullen addressed both his sermons to the young people present at the morning and evening services. He also spoke to a large number of young men at four o'clock. "But If Not," the words of the three Hebrew boys in part of their reply to Nebuchadnezer, King of Babylonia, served as the text for Dr. Cullen's sermon, because they expressed a definite purpose. Parents ought to give more concern to their children, especially during the ages from fifteen to twenty-one, who are the impressionable ages, he urged. Dr. Cullen's evening text was "I write unto you young men because you are strong. God is interested, other things, in a physically sound individual, said Dr. Cullen. Many of them are converted or joined during the survival were read into full membership at the evening services. The pastor baptised five adults.

He also spoke at the 11 o'clock service. The junior and senior chairs were out in 4th and the direction of Leon Adrian. Father Sims delivered a powerful sermon from the subject "Christian Baptism" and the Requirement." This was a very instructive message.

The Junior missionaries held an interesting praise service at 3:30 p.m. Miss Stella Logan was in charge. At the close of this service, 15 persons were baptised. The B. Y.

P. service was omitted Wednesday night, owing to the window having been blown out by the storm. Friday night the regular prayer service was held upstairs, as was the Sunday service, officers got together, and patched up the hule in the window, so that service was held in the main auditorium on Sunday night. The pastor preached on Sunday morning on the theme, "Loyalty To Christ." Licentiate Harry Williams preached in the evening on "The Christian Race," which proved to be a most helpful discourse. The Pastor urged all departments and auxiliaries to put forth numerous efforts to assist $2,000 on the Sunday March. We believe the people will do this, since now the work of the church is plainly before them. Mrs. H. A. Booker, who has been slick during the past week, is much improved. We missed sister Janie Anderson Sunday, who was gone to visit her mother in New Jersey, who with an accident by being saldled. Refuge Church of Christ Services was largely attended all day Sunday, Elder S. E. Williams preached on the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings." This Psalm in its entirety is a prayer David being in great distress and danger of his enemies, does in this Psalm, by prayer, address himself to God. In other words, he is appealing unto higher powers for refuge and shelter. This is the time for prayer for David. There are times for weeping and rejoicing, and a time for labor. But the time he is willing to endure, the time he is emphatic that nothing should be too sad, that touches our life here, to take to God in prayer. This should be the prayer of everyone. The reason some people do not get any further on with God in righteousness is they do not take all things to Him in prayer, with the right attitude and honest concession and repentance as David. All who desire to progress in the Spiritual life and obtain salvation, have this same desire and prayer of heart. Some people try to hide, behind the mistakes and sins of David, saying, he was a man after God's own heart, and he did this, and that, therefore they try to see that they have libertied themselves, and that the professor to know God, but not so, David was never known to do the same sin but once; and when he repented, he put it away forever, he did not continue to do the same thing, and repenting over and over. The way to know Jesus, is to be baptized in His Name and be filled with the Holy Ghost, and then keep heart in heart, to be kept from falling. Siloam Presbyterian Ch. At the morning hour of worship at Siloam, Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor took his text from Jeremiah 8:20. Among the many strong points brought out in the discourse was the fact that there is a definite limitation in the things of life. The call of God to enter the world in schools of early life and in things of spiritual life is today. There is nothing in life so practical as the spiritual things because all of life is governed by the spiritual. The desire to be good must be in the individual in order to be good. The Bible School met in session at 1:15 p.m. A dramatic club has been formed among the pupils of the intermediate department. Mrs. M. L. Franklin is director, assisted by Mrs. J. F. Dunn.

MOTON, Principal Tuskegee Institute, Alabama Nazarene Cong: Church The Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor attacked companionate marriage in his series of sermons from the Book of Revelation at the Nazarene Congregational Church. Grand avenue and Letters place, last Sunday evening, saying: "Permanent marriage is from above, companionate marriage from below. Reusing to accept the responsibility of risk, they would resort to birth control and agree to separate according to their family. What a paradise! The liberation!

Church "The Mind that was in Christ, was the topic of the pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler, at the morning hour. The text was Philippians. 2:5. Dr. Tyler stressed the point that there should be unity and humbleness of mind among all Christians, doing nothing through strife or vandalism.

Tuskegee Faculty Five Defeated By Ala. State Montgomery, Ala.-The Alabama State Normal Faculty Five defeated the Tuskegee Institute faculty basketball team by a count of 31-25 in a thrilling and toughly-contested game here tonight. This game was the first of the two scheduled for this season between the faculty teams of these neighboring institutions and gave Alabama State Normal the decided edge in the whole series since the Montgomery instructors won two of the three contests staged in season between these two schools. The Tuskegee Institute professors, led by Assistant Coach Ross Owens of South Dakota fame, lapped a brilliant attack that promised their victory until late in the second half when the Alabama State instructors sprang a spurt that gave them a commanding lead. The Tuskegee team was leading 13-0 at the end of the half and depended much upon the individual skill of Captain Owens who registered 20 of their total 25 points and who displayed a big share in the visitors' offensive and was well added by Rucker and Beavens at guard and during the first half, by Fellman at center. The Alabama State faculty five started slowly but gained momentum which made distinctly superior in the last half. Coach Gaston Lewis of Wilberfree fame with 10 points was closely pressed by baseball. Coach Charles Dunn of Morehouse, history with 9 points for high point honors. Prof. Whitier of Roger Williams and football Coach Bertrand Jacobs of Hampon, broke into the scoring column for 6 and 5 points respectively while playing a good floor game. Baseball Coach G. H.

In the Realm of Sport and the Theatre Holt and Romney were playing in their best form, the Collegians were soon far in the lead—a lead which they managed to maintain throughout the contest. Chick Lind, who substituted for Mills played a neat game for the colored team, although Johnny Holt and Jack Livingston were the high scorers. This contest was the preliminary to the feature game between the Original Celtics and the Rochester Centralts, which won by the Celtics 42-34. Archie Seals is manager of the new champions.

The game was between the Omega Psi Phi and Phil Beta Sigma teams. Although brilliant at times, the Sigma team lacked its usual pep and was defeated by the score of 34-18. At the end of the first half the Omega quintet led by 8 points but during the second half "Stretch" Grant and "Rip" Day ran wild, scoring 21 points between them.

The Sigma team was composed of Handy, Avery, Brown, Saunders, Drain Bartlet and Mock. In the preliminary contest the Y. M. D. five defeated the Dexter five by the close score of 24-21.

Tuskegee To Give Summer Course For Athletic Coaches Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Teachers in high and elementary schools, who also have charge of coaching or training athletic teams and young men who are contemplating taking up athletic coaching as a career, will find it to their advantage to investigate the course to be given in the summer school for coaches to be held June 4 to July 6, 1928. In establishing this work in athletic coaching and physical education for men, Tuskegee is seeking to meet a demand which comes from school administrators for young men who can, in addition to teaching the regular trade and academic subjects, coach athletic teams and take charge of the physical exercises of the school playground.

The game was hotly contested for the first half, but after that the St. Cyprian team had a runaway. They scored exactly 21 field goals during this half. The final score of the game was 60-12. In the preliminary contest, the St. Cyprian Cubs were defeated by the East Side Flashes by a score of 38-35. The St. Cyprian Club would like to arrange games with such teams as the Collegians, Meteors, Majestics and Metro-Diamonds. Write Frederick Jackson, manager, care of The New York Age.

Josephine Baker Is Center of Interest Press dispatches and news clippings from European papers show that Josephine Baker, all reports and rumors to the contrary, continues to figure as an outstanding figure on the European stage. From Vienna comes a statement that "Josephine Baker, the American colored dancer, the Mistinguett (a distinguished French actress) have not been allowed to appear at Vienna or Budapest because of a strong movement supported by the Government for restricting competition by foreign artists. Official permission is necessary in both countries." On the other hand, an advertisement in La Swiss, a paper published in Geneva, Switzerland, bills her as appearing at the Apollo Theatre in a picture, "La Sirene des Tropiques," which is described as "une revelation sensationelle" an "amusing comedienne in a grand spectacle." A letter from an Age subscriber in Clarens, Vand, Switzerland, says that "a lively colored compatriot of ours is here and has been 'doing things' over here and The Age can keep an eye on her." "Two Arabian Knights" At Roosevelt Theatre The first chance to see William Boyd in a major film production since his work in "The Volga Boatman" will be given Boyd-fans when "Two Arabian Knights," post-war comedy drama of a pair of doughboys, to the Roosevelt on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Mary Astor is his leading lady in this story of the amusing experiences of two soldiers, a rich private and a hard-boiled sergeant, who, through using an Arab disguise to escape from a German prison camp, find themselves in Arabia. Louis Wolheim, who played the original part of Captain Flagg in "What Price Glory?" takes the role of the sergeant. Boyd, who after only moderate opportunities, received his big chance in "The Volga Boatman," did so well in his part that he has been in constant demand by producers everywhere. The De Mille star felt that he would like to repeat his dramatic success in a comedy of feature size and so he took the role in "Two Arabian Knights." In that film, the private and the sergeant are enemies, as all such were during the days of cold, rain and wind in France. They try to stay enemies throughout the picture, but it is difficult to do so since each helps the other when they are confronted by a common foe. attack, and the Staters were unable to even up the count." Lewis at forward was outstanding in the State game. Coach Lewis' charges were strong in the closing minutes of the second brawl, threatening at times, until Crawford, Brown and Sapp snowed them under with a heavy advantage. Captain Garner of State was a tower of strength, so obliterate was his guarding, that he was forced out of the brave for personal foils. Sam Wooding's Band Featured In Great Bill At Lafayette The atmosphere at the Lafayette Theatre was more tense Monday afternoon than is usual at the opening of a new show. The capacity audience seemed to be expecting something unusual, and with the first sweet, swelling chords from Sam Wooding's 15 piece band, those present realized that their unusual expectations had been realized. And well they might, for that very orchestra has played before the crowned heads of Europe and enjoys the reputation of being the finest stage band conducted by a Negro in the world. These musicians not only play exceptionally well, but also showed their versatility when six of them formed a 'sexet' and sang several southern-songs; when one did a tap dance that brought storms of applause; and in one number when several played two instruments at one time. And then to place their performance wholly in a class by itself, Mr. Wooding presented Edith Wilson, the talented and beautiful singer, who was one of the principals in the plate Florence Mills' Blackbird's company in London and Paris. Aside from the wonderful work of San Wooding's Band, the revue is a delicious bit of entertainment. It is called "On the Air" and was staged by Clarence Robinson, one of the most promising of the younger producers. Robinson has gathered together a splendid company and welded them into a fine revue as has ever been presented at this theatre. He has made good use of the new Lafayette lighting system and the effects were applauded repeatedly. The cast includes Jean Starr, Edith Wilson, Mae Barpes, Lavinia Mack, Johnnie and Eddie, Cecil Graham, George Williams, Johnny Vigal and the greatest colored dancing team on the stage today. Brown and McGraw. The photoplay part of the program includes Constance Talmadge in her latest feature, "Breakfast at Sunrise" The attraction at this theatre for next week will be a revue called "Dixie Vagabonds" with a large cast headed by Maude Mills, Evelyn Preer, U.

Also JOHNNY HINES In "THE CRACKERJACK" RAYMOND CLAYMES, BARITONE, MAKES FORMAL RECITAL DEBUT WITH SUCCESS The formal recital which marked the debut of Raymond Claymes, baritone, was marked by some untoward features that were calculated to test the nerve and temper of a much more experienced artist. The recital was in the Salem M. E. Church, 129th street and Seventh avenue, an auditorium of great spaciousness, possibly the largest in seating capacity of any of the Harlem structures, capable of holding as many thousand auditors as there were hundreds present. But this handicap was as nothing compared to the lack of consideration on part of some church official, who neglected contractural obligations to the extent that both singer and piano were forced to the floor of the room, instead of on the platform—and in such a tremendous, harmlike structure of wide reaches a singer placed on the floor level with his audience is almost hopelessly handicapped. It was not Mr. Claymes' fault, according to information received, as he is reported to have made it clear, in engaging the church for his recital, on much the same terms as would have obtained in contracting for a regular concert hall, that the rostrum was to be cleared of pulpit stand and chairs to make room for the piano and to permit the artist easy access from an anteroom that adjoins the pulpit. But this part of the agreement, it is charged, was ignored by the church people, and not only was the piano on the floor when the singer arrived, but the anteroom was not even heated for his use. Notwithstanding these untoward conditions, Mr. Claymes gave an interesting and enjoyable exhibition, exhibiting a scholarly and refined art, which, with further and proper development, promises high ranking. He has a voice of considerable charm, particularly in the lower and middle registers, with depth and velocity resonance. In the upper register, there develops a brilliance, but it is gained at the expense of purity, and with much nasality of tone, indicating possibly, a wrong method or tone placement. So instead of the ringing clarity looked for, there is evident forcing of tone with consequent loss of color. There are some vocal teachers, however, who try to develop head tones by a method which uses the lower nasal passages, instead of the upper throat cavities—said by"some to be an adaptation from the French. The method of question is not for this reviewer to discuss at this time, but experience indicates that singers of the Schumann-Henk type, whose voices retain freshness and color after many years or effort, avoid the strain which this sort of singing entails. In his opening group, Mr. Claymes gave 17th and 18th Century tones, two in Italian, "Caro into ben" by Gordanni and "O cessate di paragm" by Scarlatil, and three in English "County Derry Melody" arranged by Fisher, "Has sorrow thy young days shaded," arranged by Hughes and "Flow thou regal purple stream" by Arnold The artist, disturbed mentally and physically, could not do himself justice in this group, but he had begun to recover his pose when the Arnold song was reached, and its bravura passages were given with impeccable phrasing. The Massenet aria, "Vision fugitive" from the opera, "Herodiade," was marred by an apparent lack of rapport between singer and accompanist, and this was in evidence at other stages of the program. And, in this connection, the accompanist did not play with his accustomed artistry and sympathy. The third group embraced German songs, two in the original language and one in English. The first were "Still wie die nacht" by Ilohm and "Lehn deine wang an meine wang" by Jensen, and the latter was the "Two Grenadiers" by Schumann. The Bohm song was a fine exhibition of legato singing, and the singer's enunciation was of a quality he had not previously reached. And this clarity of utterance continued through the remainder of the program. To this group was added, as an encore, a dainty little song of his own composition, with German text, about a pretty flower, "Du bist wie eine blume." The rest of the program was devoted to a group of art songs in English by Aylward, Coleridge-Taylor and Wood, to which was added an exquisite setting by Paul Laurence Dunbar's little poem, "Dawn," by Leoni; a work, song, "Me an math pardner" by Strickland; "Water Boy" by Robinson; "Exhortation" by Will Marion Cook; and a group of Spirituals, "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child" by Brown, and "I stood on de ribber of Jordan" and "Hard trials" by Burleigh. To these were added "Deep River" by Burleigh and "I know the Lord laid His hands on me" by Brown. Harry Williams was the accompanist, and there was a tenuosity in his playing that was unusual, with a failure to give sufficient depth and continuity to the chords. At times the piano seemed altogether lifeless. In justice to Mr. Williams it should be said that the lighting arrangement was so poor he could hardly read the scores. FISK SINGERS WIN HONORS IN PARIS FISK SINGERS WIN HONORS IN PARIS The music circles of Paris have been agog with enthusiasm at the re-appearance of the Fisk Jubilee Singers in a concert at Salle Gaveau, December 28, 1927. Numerous prominent people have served as sponsors. The Singers gave a private recital for Roland Hayes, himself a former student of Fisk, before their public appearance. This announcement appeared in the Paris edition of the New York Herald prior to the recital: "Because of the importance of the work done by Fisk University, a group of distinguished patrons has charged itself with the task of making a success of the European tour of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, which will begin tomorrow evening with a concert at the Salle Gaveau. "On the list of sponsors was Mr. William Phillips American Minister to Canada. Ambassador Myron T Herrick, because of his absence from Paris, is unable to act as a patron, at he did last year. Musicians are represented on the list of sponsors by Miss Eva Gautier, the singer; Mrs. Efram Zimbalist, wife of the violinist and M. Vladimir de Pachmann. "On the list of social celebrities who are patrons are: the Marquise de Polignac, the Duquesne de Alba, Princessa Rospghost and Baroness Hindenburg. The list includes also: Mrs. Cole Porter, Mrs. Harry P. Loomis, Lady Astor, Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, Miss Elsa Maxwell, Mrs. Easton, Mr. Joseph Ritter, Mr. Paul Gravath and Mr. Carl Fisher. "Roland Hayes, the prominent Negro singer, was given a private recital by the Fisk Jubilee Singers, at the apartment of Mr. Walter Varney, concert manager, 44 rue du Bac, yesterday afternoon. Several other distinguished persons were present including, Miguel Cowvarubias, Mexican caricaturist; Rose Rolando, dancer; Corinne Lowe, writer, and Eleanor Shaler, comedienne. "Mr. Hayes was enthusiastic in his praise of the sexet of his own race." After the recital, The Herald reported: "Even more enthusiastic than the reception given the Fisk Jubilee Singers a year ago on the occasion of their first visit to Paris was the welcome given their return engagement by a and which packed the Salle Gaveau last night and which included a large percentage of the American colony in Paris. "The Paris engagement of the singers, who are under the direction of Mr. Walter K. Vareng, was an auspicious beginning of the tour, which has been arranged in order to help the famous Negro school at Nashville, Tennessee, and which will take the singers to most of the European capitals. "Among those sponsoring the Paris concert were: Mr. William Phillips, American Minister to Canada, Miss Laa Bouton, the singer; Mme. Efrein Zimbali, wife of the violinist, M. Vladimir de Pachimann, the Marquise de Pologne, the Impresa de Alba, Principessa Rospiogliosi, Bartoness Hindenbaum, and numerous members of the Paris colony. The program, including as it did plantation songs, old Negro melodies, folk songs and Spirituals, won warm applause both American and French listeners. The Jubilee Singers are now in Southern France and will be abroad at six months." RAYMOND CLAYMES Baritone, made fine impression in first formal recital. LONDON BENEFIT TO BE DEVOTED TO THE N. A. A. C. P. Lady Cook Sponsors Fund In Memory of the Late Florence Mills An interesting development comes in the form of a letter from the Honorable Lady Mary Cook of Doughty House, Ridleydon Surrey, England, who writes that she is proposing, with the assistance of C.B Cochran, the well-known London theatrical magnate, to stage in special matinee benefit performances in the London Pavilion in memory and honor of the late Florence Mills. An interesting feature of the announcement is that the fund accruing from the effort is not to be applied to the proposed Florence Memorial Home which is being raised by the New York group headed by Jesse Shippe president, but will be turned over to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to establish "The Florence Mills Fund," and to be used specifically for the organization of that organization's racial conditions. In a talk with James Weldon Johnson, executive, state of the N. A. A. C. P., and mealt the movement had its active on the other side, and that his organization knew nothing of the movement from Lady Cook asking permission to issue the N. A. A. C. P. in the manner proposed, and requested that organization to administer the fund. The New York organization took up the matter in a board meeting after several days delay, and finally agreed to accept the trust. Lady Cook was impatient for an answer and asked the cable to the N. A. A. C. P. the day after the letter of agreement had been mailed. Mr. Johnson then cabled a reply, giving the association's decision. In her letter to The Age, Lady Cook wrote: "I feel sure that all the colored artists in London will gladly give their services, and also that I can depend on the cooperation of many white actors and actresses who knew and admired the talents and personality of Florence Mills. I would like to thank you for understanding that while the primary object of the benefit is to honor Florence Mills' memory, the money raised is to be given to establish a fund called "The Florence ST.

"Florence Mills was herself member of this society, and always when speaking publicly in London she would refer to: the good it wee doing for her race; its work is therefore known of in London, and presumably would be ede here. Florence Mills' private friends here also knew of her interest in the work of the N. A. A. G.P. as being the concrete expression of her own desire for the recognition of the advancement of her own people. "In conclusion, may I add that my own sympathies arise from my personal friendship with the race, lie all with a society who aim and object, on broad and good lines, is to help all those who need and desire assistance, to rise in profession or trade what-ever. Tenor, Disappointing Chaucaney Northern, tenor, recently returned from a period of study in Italy, and hailed as having developed a "bigger voice" than the late world-famous Enrico Caruso, gave his first recital in Steinfeld Concert Hall, West 57th street, on Tuesday night, January 31, to an audience which filled every seat—about 250—in the cozy little auditorium of second-hand are that Mr. Northern went down town with this concert in order to reach the musical intelligencia of the other race, but a glance over the audience indicated that this hope was not realized. Young Northern is, I think, a member of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, and is extremely popular with members of that congregation. If the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of that church, who is now out of town taking a much-needed rest following the wiping out of a $60,000 mortgage within four and a half years, had happened back in town Tuesday night and dropped in at Steinway Hall, he would have rubbed his eyes and wondered a moment if Abyssinian had gone back to its former downtown purleus, for at least 95 per cent of the listeners were from Abyssinian Church—at least that is what Nelson Dixon, chairman of this church, declared. This friendly audience is Mr. Northern a most enthusiastic reception. As a matter of fact, the cordiality of their manner must be attributed to their friendly feeling for the aspiring young artist, as the singer's efforts were not of a calibre to warrant such enthusiasm. Neither in mezzo voce or forte the tenor's voice impress. He has mastered some technique, and was able to give passable continuity to the extended phrases in Purcell's old English song, "I attempt from love's sickness to fly," and other songs carrying bravura passages, butonal quality was lacking; and in the upper reaches of his range much forcing of tone was evident. Dramatic and vigorous though Mr. Northern may be in his singing, there much that he has to learn about the vocal art, and it is possible that his return to Europe will be a wise decision. And he has something to learn in the art of program making too, for the one offered on this occasion was not only poorly balanced but might have been improved by a more careful selection of songs. Songs in Italian by Pergolesi Testi and Durante including the poems "Imprensive" from "Andre di Themen," and "O Paradise" from "Johan in Bohn's" "Still wie die mache" in "Grazia in Bohn's" "Still wie die mache" in "Burlesh" or "Spiritual English by Del Riege, Aylward Wheply, Vaundock (whose 'Cun it be love') was repeated), Handel and Testi, made up the program Added songs were "Love is a bubble" a bit of trash, and "The Endie Miss Its Northern a very young sister to the singer, was at the scene, and her work, considering her touch was quite countable. Local N. A. N. M. Branch Installs Its Officers The New York Branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians Inc., held their installation meeting at the Martin-Smith-Muscle School in the presence of a large group of musicians and their friends on Sunday evening, January 8, 1928. The installation office this occasion was the Rev. Dr. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, at 141st street and St. Nicholas avenue. A short business meeting was held before the arrival of the installing officer at which time the yearly report of the work of the branch was the secretary-treasurer, Mr. Beat.

Voice Culture Added At Bennett College Greensboro, N.C.—A department of vocal music has been added to the curriculum of Humont College for Women, with Miss Ernestine V. Burton, a graduate of the Chicago Musical College, in charge. This addition to the faculty has been made necessary by the need for the college of the college for musical instruction both in class and in private lessons. Dean Carol Cotton, in commenting on the addition of a teacher for voice alone says, "The heritage of song is one of the most precious gifts which Negro girls have. The Spirituals have become recognized as a real part of America's music community. Our through this department will be to keep alive an appreciation of the great music of the world, and thereby add to the girl's appreciation of the vital things of life." Orarge. N. J. in Orange, N.

Alhambra Patrons Great Return Of Tim Moore And Slim Henderson Wild applause greeted the Alhambra troupe when they returned to the Alhambra stage after their triumph all out. The show was well called "Harlem Darlings." Tim Moore, Slim Henderson and Mantan are the principal componen and they offer a variety of roles that will make you laugh inspire of yourself. They are ably aided by Mae Bell, Gertie Moore and Green Green. Amanda Randolph leads the chorus as only she can. The Alhambra justice loves "Mandy" and there is a reason. It is not exaggeration to say that she is one of the most well performers working on the show. Smiling George Booker and Burling Grant are both excellent stars. It is worth a trip to the Alhambra to hear Booker sing "Riding in Glory" or to hear Sterling Grant sing "Dinah." Doris Rheubottom a beautiful voice, shows the show" with "Charmalne" and Little Bits Turner sings and pretially throughout the revue. It ought to tough to say that the chorus is an "Alhambra chorus," but for the sake of the unimaginable that means, that it is the show in town, Broadway as well as Harlem included. The feature picture for the half half of the week is "Medling, Women" with Lionel Barrymore, a stirring drama. The title of next week's musical comedy at the Alhambra was suggested by the semaphores, which are the device used by the traffic police at busy corners. They do say though that there will be much more "go" than "stop" in the new show. Anyhow the title is the "Stop! Go! Revue" and it starts Monday. "The Magic Flame" The Douglass The importance of music in motion pictures has its most recent illustration in "The Magic Flame" in which Ronald Colman and Vlana Banky are co-starred at the Douglas theatre. The plot of the picture concerns the fortune of a circus clown and his sweetheart, a trapeze performer. The clown sings a serenade, accompanying himself on the battalion (Mr. Coleman, incidentally, plays the bat-pal). This same song which eventually leads to the romance of the lovers and the elixir of the story. This melody, which provides the key-note to the entire musical score, was arranged with a lyric by Dr. Sigmund Spathe, who employed the famous Toselli serenade as a foundation for the song. The music was played constantly on the Seminal Goldwyn lot during production of the picture. For all stomach and intestinal troubles and disturbances due to teething, there is nothing better than a safe Infant's and Children's Laxative. MRS.

HOGANS A NEW ANGLE ON That the Pullman porters' index is undoubtedly the opinion of every in the matter. With the leaders of heaven that their advocacy of the management of the Pullman Company outsiders in its relations with its cargo that they are absolutely satisfied other porters maintaining, furtively, but satisfied, the porter's difficult way, just now the solution appears the surface. But if one were anxious to reel these problems are not as difficult, if one would take the opinion veteran, whose remaining years in the firm with the porter lies in the differed. Said this old Pullmanite: "Other a question on which they all are it may say, the lack of unanimity in working conditions is due largely to they render. For instance, there a Pullman service as they relate to luncheon or club car service, the car service. "Now, theoretically, whenever a vice as a porter is supposed to be, to render the sort of service.

"Oh," he replied, the working booth. "The real question is more be digested and adjusted there will those which exist now, and which a difference in type of service." Maybe the veteran is right and it is, he has given us a new angle of for the situation being a problem. A NEW ANGLE OF THE PROBLEM That the Pullman porters' industrial situation presents a problem is undoubtedly the opinion of everyone who has followed recent events in the matter. With the leaders of the porters' union vowing to high heaven that their advocacy of the porters cause is just; with the management of the Pullman Company declaring that it will not treat with outsiders in its relations with its porters; with some porters averring that they are absolutely satisfied with these present relations; with other porters maintaining, furtively, of course, that they are everything but satisfied, the porter's difficulties seem well night insoluble. Anyway, just now the solution appears distant, viewing the problem from the surface. But if one were anxious to really know the facts about the case, these problems are not as difficult to understand as they seem; that is, if one would take the opinion of an outumer. According to this veteran, whose remaining years in the service are few, the real problem with the porter lies in the different classes of Pullman service. Said this old Pullmanite: "Other than the question of better wages, a question on which they all are in accord, no matter what else they may say, the lack of unanimity among the porters regarding their working conditions is due largely to the difference in type of service they render. For instance, there are three general classes or types of Pullman service as they relate to the porters. These are the buffet luncheon or club car service, the parlor car service, and the sleeping car service. "Now, theoretically, whenever an employee enters the Pullman service as a porter he is supposed to be qualified, after a regime of instruction, to render the sort of service which each one of these cars offers. In some cases this is true and is followed. But as a general thing it isn't, for while some porters make efficient sleeping car men, they are oxen in a parlor on chair cars. Then a chair-car man might be ever so good at rendering service on that type of Pullman, but he would be next to useless on a sleeper. Usually, neither of these two are good at buffet and club car work. This class of work is of a semi-skilled character, requiring the experience of a waiter. "So, you see," continued the oldtimer "that there are various types of Pullman service, and the porter chooses whichever type his seniority in the service will permit and he likes best. Now, each type of service has different working conditions. The working hours and duties of sleeping car men are longer and much more laborious than those of either the buffet car man or the chair car man. And, peculiarly, both the latter receive more pay than the former. Not only is the buffet porter better paid, but he draws, in addition to this, a monthly commission on what he sells. In fact, every phase of the working conditions of the sleeping car porter is inferior to that of the other two. "This unevenness in labor conditions is not easily remedied, unless it were in the matter of pay, as it might seem, due to the necessary difference in hours of work. Under these conditions, it should be plainly obvious that while a parlor or buffet car man might be in sympathy with the sleeping car man in his wage aspirations, they have little in common regarding working conditions. As a matter of fact, the working time of these two is comparable with that of the average railroad trainmen; in some cases better. And, as everyone knows, true coherence is the result of oneness in condition and character." "Well, how do you account for the percentage of porters that, it is claimed, are dissatisfied with their working conditions?" the veteran was asked. "Oh," he replied, the working conditions slogan is merely a shibboleth. The real question is more wages. Whenever that point can be digested and adjusted there will be no porter problem other than those which exist now, and which are always likely to exist, due to the difference in type of service." Maybe the veteran is right and maybe he is wrong, but whichever it is, he has given us a new angle of the matter. Perhaps, this accounts for the situation being a problem. ANNUAL MEETING 137th ST. YWCA CONTINUAL FEAST Education Exhibit, Members' Dinner and Annual Program Th annual meeting of the Branch and the members' banquet held on Friday evening, January 27, was a vettable feast of good things. First, in point of time and continuing through the evening, the eyes were feasted! Each year we feel that the exhibit from the Education Department cannot be improved upon, and yet the next year it is always better. The lobby was so well with many lamps shining softly through the beautiful shades of the windows, it was fitted up with small green and buff tables which made a charming background for the riot of color displayed in French flowers, in diaphanous chiffon scarfs, in stylish little hats and lovely dresses; for the exquisite painted china, for the rosette beading, for hooked rugs, embroideries, pillows and taffeta spreads. Dresses were displayed in the gobble which was transformed into a salon wave and sophisticated! The exhibit began at five. The next feast came at seven and was a feast of food! It was the members' annual dinner. Tables were set up in the auditorium, they were attractive with the glitter of silver and glass and tall orange candles, the dinner served by the cafeteria. During the meal delightful music was furnished by Miss Plossie Carter, pianist, and Miss Ruth Caver, violinist. The Annual Meeting Crowning the evening at 8:30 came the program of the annual meeting and those who attended went away with minds stimulated and hearts inspired for the coming year's work. Those who spoke were all members of our Association family and they could all speak which to a membership Mrs. Enidia Raismon, the chairwoman, who is so greatly loved by the members, was the main speaker of the evening and she spoke magnificently Mrs. Cecelia Cabinella, the general secretary of the Branch, gave the secretary's report in 1927. Often reports are but Mrs. Saunders' report was for dull. We listened with her for a gratification and an encouragement that kind of mutual during the past. Alone, Alice, Vivienne OF THE PROBLEM Industrial situation presents a problem one who has followed recent events of the porters union vowing to high porters cause is just; with the mandering that it will not treat with porters; with some porters averring with these present relations; with of course, that they are everything as seem well night insoluble.

Perhaps, this accounts treasurer's report we feel a deep and thrilling sense of gratitude for such service as she has given to the Branch. Her years of service have mounted steadily and this year marks the twenty-third. She one of the founders of the Association and has given treasurer through lean, third years. We regretted deeply the absence of our chairman, Mrs. William H. Wortham, who was called out of town on account of the death of a very close friend, Mrs. Wortham's report was read by Mrs. Ernst Alexander, a teacher, Helen Sherill, a teacher of Observer conservatory, who is studying here this year, played two numbers, and at the insistence of the audience, an encore number. The annual meeting was closed most fittingly by Miss Bertha M. Boody, general secretary of the Metropolitan Board of the YWV with a brief devotional service, as a stimulus for the coming year's work.

Bruce' Lodge, No. 8171, Inc., Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, was held on Wednesday evening, January 25, at the St. Luke's dining hall, New York City. The object of this banquet as explained by a representative of the lodge, was to foster closer fraternal contact and associations between members of the order and their friends, in an atmosphere of culture. B. K. Bruce Lodge established a reputation some years ago as one of the most progressive lodges in the jurisdiction of the order in American law, under the ruling body, the Sub-Committee of Menagement, which resulted in litigation covering a period of over seven years, at the end of which the Courts of New York and Pennsylvania ordered re-instatement of their own liability with damages. Since their re-instatement they have been reconstructing along their old progressive lines, and this banquet was a forerunner of their future activities to keep to the front of the permanent secrecy. 140th Hill Street, Cornelius, 56 West 140th Street, The banquet was well attended, an even hundred guests being present.

Savory Makes Strong Plea For Naturalization An eloquent plea for West Indians living in this country to naturalize featured a largely attended mass meeting at the Imperial Elks auditorium Sunday afternoon, when a meeting was held under auspices of a recently formed West India Committee of America and the plea was made by Dr. P. M. H. Savory, vice president of this organization, and a prominent figure in the profession of the Dr. Savory pointed out the many advantages to be gained by West Indians becoming citizens of their adopted country. Jerome P. Ottley, chairman of the committee of arrangements for the Dr. Savory pointed out the purpose of the organization. He said its chief planks were: Naturalization, better relations between representatives from the various islands, as will be between native born and foreign born and business development in Harlem. Assistiana Corporation, Counsel, James S. Watson was scheduled to deliver the principal address, but was prevented from attending the meeting by illness. His place on the program was taken by Attorney Sidney Christian, who delivered an interesting address on business in the mining also spoke on this subject. Representatives from the following organizations were present: Benevolent Societies of Jamaica Trinidad, Barbadoes Grenada, St Vincent St. Lucia Dominica, British Guiana, St. Kitts, Nevis, Monsera, Antigua Virgin Islands Bahama Bermuda and Victoria.

Jamaica Urban League In Monthly Meeting Jamaica, N, N. —Y. The local branch N. A. A. C. P met in the clubhouse in Herrick Park on January 24, the first meeting since November, and the chairman of the membership committee, Mrs. Romoe L.

Musical numbers were a piano solo by Jacob Morris and a vocal solo by Miss Desdow Stovall Dental Meeting At Abyssinian Forum Through the courtesy of 'Aaron Smith, president of the Abyssinia Church Community Forum, the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee has arranged for a community dental meeting-at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 132 West 138th street, Thursday evening, February 2 at 8:30. The program is being planned by the Health Education Service, New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. Talks will be given and a dental movie, "Tommy's Troubles" will be shown. Landlord Balked From Ousting Sub-Tenant Mrs. Emma Green, fifteen years a lessee of an apartment at 124 West 135th street, recently subtler her rights to a Mr. Williams, who in turn rented the apartment to a Mr. Williams, who rented the landlord heard of the situation. He accused Mr. Timerblake of being a squatter and sought to have him disposed. 'Timberlake' presented the wrangle in the Seventh District Municipal Court for 'disentanglement, and Justified evin in dismissance who comes into possession of a place with the knowledge of the lawful tenant is not a squatter. Mr. Howell announced as a business alogan: "No matter where you live, we are equipped to render the utmost in service. Your plans are our plans, whether they be on large pretentious scale or in the simplest manner." Another unusual feature, born of Mr. Howell's knowledge of the life of railroad men, was a special arrangement for taking care of funerals of deceased members of railroad men's families. In the carrying out of his policies and plans, Mr. Howell has had the splendid assistance and cooperation of his able assistant, Miss Evelyn B. Cooper, also a graduate of the Renouard School, who serves as lady attendant. The success attending 'his offers' has disliked "corporation," and Mr. Howell has taken over larger, and more spacious quarters at 2121 Madison avenue, at 133rd street, just a block from his original stand on the same street. Here is offered a quiet, dignified funeral service, reasonably priced. The parlors are fittingly decorated. The reception room is artistically furnished in green and gold, with wicker upholstered in tapestry. The chapel dedicated to a service that looks to the spiritual side of humanity, is directly behind the reception room, surrounded by stately phase windows. Beauty in form and spirit reveals a service of deepest sympathy, and the beautiful chapel of O. G. Howell's Funeral Home is commodious enough to render such service, keeping out of the home entirely the acute and throbbing sorrow occasioned by the presence of the dead. The furnishings of the chapel are also green and gold, with hangings to accommodate a. A well-equipped preparation room and private office, are beyond the chapel.

A chairman is the only office and holds office one day only. When questioned about the pose of such a group, Ira De A. Reid, industrial secretary, said: "It is our hope that the membership turnover will be high; that eventually it will have no members; that the members, apart from being of practical assistance to each other, may be able to see more deeply into the phenomenon of unemployment.
