Mrs. Braye called to a neighbor and told him that her husband had not been home the night: before and asked if this neighbor, George Davis, would go over to Mr. Braye's son's house to see if she was there. About a quarter of a mile from the house the sprawling 'form' of a man was seen which proved to be 'that' of Mr. Braye. Cart Tzacha, Gave Clue. The 500, and police were immediately notified, and when the officers arrived, they noticed some fresh cart tracks, which led to the porch of the Braye home. The detectives hurried to the barra and made an examination of the barn, and its contents. On the tailgate of the barn, she found stains. Then they directed their attention to the house.

News, the magazine issued by the well-known livingstonia Mission of Nyasaland, gives the following account of native pluck and self-sacrifice when face to face with a crocodile. *In November, 1925, a native woman of Bandawae went down to the water, and pushed aside the tall reeds, stooped down, and began to fill her waterpot. But she never filled it. A pair of huge jaws suddenly rose from the water, and sized her arm near the shoulders, and sharp teeth and crushed through flesh and teeth, and she was standing on the bank in water, while a crocodile, swam across the shallow arm. *The daughter of the injured woman showing the glass where she had followed her. As she came near she heard a commotion among the reeds; then she saw the arm, immediately dropped the arm, and she jumped to the conclusion that the brute was carrying off her without a weapon, the hunter woman plucked in at once to the rescue. "The crocodile, on being attacked, immediately dropped the arm and seized the girl. The unequal struggle would have lasted only a few seconds; but the mother had one arm, the elitism. One armed, bleeding to death, and with no weapon in her hand, she rushed into the river to rescue her daughter. The crocodile was easily more than a match for both, and inflicted terrible injuries; but the noise brought out the villagers, who beat the brute with poles, it let go its victims and escaped. The rescued mother and daughter, each, suffering from dangerous wounds about the body, were taken with all speed to Bandawe Hospital, where the mission doctor did all in his power, but he was unable to save them. Within two weeks, posted by no newspaper, the African mother and daughter died for each other."

They were arrested Friday after they had jumped out of third-story windows at 159 West Sixty-11th Street, an important injury. The palat had gone to 150 West Sixty-11th Street with a new kit of tools to embark with a career of burglary. Marcalo was the leader in the enterprise and had told Garcia to do just what he did and soon he would be a craftsman. With Garcia's menor mentor in love, they jimmed their way into the home of John Brown, a keeper on Welfare Island, who lives on the third floor of the house. Mr. Brown, who was in a rear room, heard the commotion and came to see what was up. Marcalo had served one term on Welfare Island and recognized Brown as a friend he rushed to the window, and jumped out. Gatela his faithful pupil followed his example with a beautiful fidelity, even to crashing through the glass rather than delaying to open the window. Mr. Brown began to blow a police whistle and a policeman from the West Sixty-11th Street capot, captivated by fugitives. Garcia was released in bail, having no police record, but Marcalo was locked up. JOSEPH S. PRELINGHUYSEN Former U. S.

Harlem Republicans, of Both Races Give Strong Endorsement To Demand For Negro Leadership In Harlem Ministers Approve Movement For Racial Independence; Influential Citizen Suggests Barring Non-Resident Leaders The volume and character of comment by men and women, colored and white, of the 19th A. D. indicates strong approval of the editorial and news story published in last week's Age concerning the demand for Negro leadership in the Republican organization of the district. STIRRING AUSTRIAN SOLONS A number of the ministers of Harlem have expressed themselves as unequivocally in favor of a change in present conditions, declaring the time is ripe for the assertion of racial independence. It is seen forth that there is race leadership in many of the social welfare organizations, and that the leadership has demonstrated for fitness and full ability to handle administrative affairs. The assertion is made that there are men of the race simply interested to perform the duties assigned to district leadership, not one of the Negroes themselves, more in the majority, but all whites the minority, as specified in pointed out that there is JOSEPHINE BAKER As she appeared before going abroad to become a European sensation. VIENNA FASCISTS OBJECT TO NEGRO DANCER'S ACTING Josephine Baker Will Go To Theatre Across The Border From Vienna Referring to the boycott of Josephine Baker by Austrian authorities, the Vienna correspondent of the London Daily Express, on February 7, sent the following dispatch to his paper: Vienna, Tuesday, Feb. 7—Miss Josephine Baker the famous Parisian coloured dancer, will come a modern Pied Piper of Hamelin if the Hakengruezter Fascists persist successfully in their opposition to her appearance on a Vienna stage. "Her impresario has secured an option on a theatre at Bratislava (formerly Pressburg), a large town in the border, and there will be a temporary mass emigration from Vienna to its more liberal atmosphere if the Austrian authorities yield to the outcry of the Nationalist fanatics and prohibit her performance. "Bratislava is within easy reach fromien by tramway, train, and steamer. Negotiations are already in full swing with the Czecho-Slovakian Legation here for special visa facilities, while a special "Josephine Baker Steamer Service" is also being arranged. "Newspapers here are generally indignant with the Hakengruezter for making liberal and liberal use of the capital, including eyes of the world by conferring on Josephine Baker the title of "the girl who shocked Vienna." "The Theatre Director's Association has nevertheless decided to boycott Josephine in deference to Hakkenreuker agitation. Three members of the association stand outside the association, the Volksper, the Buerger Theatre, and the Johann Straus Theatre, are negotiating for her appearance, "It is probable that the famous Johann Straus will be the oath to defy the Hakkenreuzer, and offer its hospitality to Josephine Baker."

Worstham. nns, of Both Races, Resement To Demand leadership In Harlem vement For Racial Inde- cial Citizen Suggests President Leaders character of comment by men white, of the 19th A. D. in- of the editorial and news week's Age concerning the ship in the Republican or- organization of the district es, mand rlem Inde- sts y-men D in- news ing the an or- istrict A number of the ministers of Harlem have expressed themselves as unquemily in favor of a change in present conditions, declaring the time is ripe for the assertion of racial independence. It is see forth that there is race leadership in many of the social welfare organizations, and that this leadership has demonstrated the necessity and full ability, to handle administrative affairs. The assertion is made, that there are men of the race simply, unified and performive to district leadership, among the Negroes themselves, who are in the majority, but of the whites the minority, as well as pointed out, that there is election district in the 19th A.D. in which the whites are 5 to 10 in the majority, or even 2. Demand Is Commended. The Ages attitude in voting demand for Negro leadership is commended especially by a number of white men and women, who they are surprised that the demand has not been made before. The greatest traditions have taken form, and that the people of the root are in need of themselves in public action, to give them the chance to understand the responsibility which they to unrestricted opportunities. These same people continue methods employed by their own leaders in putting things over on their constituencies without giving them chance for expression. Will it be helped and deliberate failure to advise their followers is one of the most serious charges laid against present day leaders. It is pointed out that the present president of the Republican Club in this district, a white man, was elected in 1972 and is in the majority in spite of a strong opposition which developed and which was quieted after considerable effort. One of the most influential men in the district has voiced another objection which carries weight. He declares that the party leader should not be a non-resident of the district, who simply maintains an actual residence in the district, but be a voter in the district, anywhi man, he should also maintain an actual home, thus keeping in actual personal contacts with every phase of the district's activities. Objection is raised to retaining as leader any man who has removed his actual residence from the district, thus giving stalemance to the information that this removal has followed as a result of recent Negro integration of life community. This construction of the party leaders' motives, it is firmly asserted, will inevitably lead to an open revolt. The disruption which will naturally follow such an ant-toward development can be avoided by a graceful wildrawal. remarked the influential citizen referred to above. Not all the Negroes active in politics are endorsing the proposition by the leader of the lem community, it is insisted that some of these are of the opinion that their personal fortune will be better served by submission to white domination. But the rank and file of Negro voters it is asserted, will not be misled by any specious arguments advanced by this group and their political repudiation will follow in due time. Harlem Delegates To National Convention Harlem Delegates To National Convention Samuel S. Koonig, chairman of the New York County Republican Committee, announces that in the primary of April 3, the delegates from Harlem districts to the Republican National Convention to be voted for will be: 19th-Nicholas Murray Butler and Robert P.

Arrangements were also made for the publication of textbooks for the Liberian schools, based upon Liberian conditions and illustrated with pictures of Liberian children and local scenes. day was hailed as a great reform instituted by the imperial wizard, Dr. Hiram W, Evans. The order prescribed that it shall be unlawful for a klansman to wear any mask or visor and that every klansman shall hereafter become a member of the Knights of the Great Forest. The reason assigned for this change of name and costume was that the klan had completed the first phase of its work by stopping unrestricted immigration and enforcing 100 per cent: Americanism. The second phase calls for an intensive effort at assimilation of aliens now in this country. The concession to the Firestone interests of Akron, Ohio, of over one million acres of land for rubber production marked the incoming of American capital for the development of Liberian resources. About ten thousand laborers were engaged in clearing und, planting work last year with over one hundred Americans and Europeans employed as engineers, surveyors, etc. It is expected that the first rubber from this concession will be shipped in 1930, and thereafter the amount will increase annually. Already there is noted an enormous increase in the circulation of ready money throughout the country, which will tend to stimulate business of all kinds. Another item of Liberian trade is the fact that one thousand tons of Liberian coffee were shipped to Europe in 1926. It is the hope of the growers, that as its fine qualities become more widely known, the demand for this coffee should increase in America. Attempts were made at several times to introduce Liberian coffee in this country, but the average American taste in coffee does not require the finer grades and is content with the cheaper Brazilian brands. Evidently the klan is taking to the woods in order to avoid the condemnation incurred through its best record of midnight whippings and outrages and the legislation passed in many states against masked mobs. The klansmen may call themselves knights of the forest or goblins of the woods, but so long as they practice sadism and other cowardly crimes they will remain the same old Ku Klux. Such shrewd leaders of the Klan as the imperial wizard and his crew have adopted this plan to offset internal dissensions and a falling off in numbers, as well as to dodge hostile legislation and adverse public sentiment. Then probably another ten dollar fee is exacted from those adventurous mortals who want to become Knights of the forest and exchange their sheets and pillow slips for the costume of Robin Hood and his merry men. The buying of goods on the instalment plan has proved a great accommodation to many people who secure immediate possession of the articles of clothing or furniture desired and pay a specified sum weekly or monthly until the whole cost is covered. What the purchaser does not always understand is that he or she, more frequently the latter, does not become the owner of the cherished article until the last cent of the cost price is paid. The purchaser merely holds possession temporarily, and if the last payment falls overdue, the seller may and frequently does seize the property. The buyer not only loses the article for which he bound himself to pay much more than the market value, but also the sum of the instalments already paid. With the increasing prosperity of the country, Monrovia the capital with its population of six thousand inhabitants, is taking on urban improvements. Sidewalks and roads have been constructed, streets graded and an electric lighting plant installed. A government hospital has been established and is doing excellent work. The Liberian coast boasts of three powerful first class lighthouses and one of the second class, being the best lighted section on the West Coast of Africa. The approaching presidential inauguration was the signal for many civic improvements at the capital, all the citizens putting their places in order, and making liberal use of whitewash and paint. The municipal and federal authorities looked after the public monuments and square, and built an open air pavilion of concrete for the inauguration exercises, which will remain as a public improvement. Despite such changes of name and costume the Klan will continue to be what it always was, an organization founded on greed, intolerance and the fanning of racial hatreds. In such states as New York, it may purport to be the champion of ultra Protestantism, assuring the Negro that "it's not you we're after, but the Jews and the Catholics." In the South, its rallying cry will continue to be "White supremacy," and the Jews and Catholics will be cajoled to join if necessary. Everywhere it will appeal to the vanity and baser passions of mankind as a reason for joining it and paying tribute to its promoters. In their efforts to stave off its eventual collapse, it would appear as if its leaders would even appeal to the foreign element, against whom much of their propaganda was directed. In this last move to the woods may be measured the extremity of the klan. although its power for harm still persists in remote sections. How harshly this system of instalment selling works for the delinquent buyers was shown in an article in The Age of last week, based on numerous complaints received at this office. The complainants charged that many instalment houses, after the greater portion of an account had been paid, took advantage of any lapse in meeting the payments, to reclaim the goods, not stopping at legal methods in their seizure. It is to be expected that goods sold on time are higher priced than for cash, but the prices charged instalment buyers are styled extortionate the profits being alleged to range as high as one hundred per cent. But the buyer has agreed to pay this although he seldom realized that the contract printed in fine type gives him no legal title to the goods until the last cent is paid. But, if there is the slightest delay in meeting the weekly or monthly payments, due to loss of employment, sickness or death the instalment house does not hesitate to seize the goods. The information derived from the optimistic pages of the Educational Outlook indicates that Lilberia has taken a decisive step forward on the road of its educational and material developments LIBERIA-TRIES THIRD TERM. First hand information concerning the progress of events in Liberia is not so accessible nor frequent in its arrival, hence the appearance of a new monthly magazine published at Monrovia furnishes us with some valuable data. The name of this publication is the Educational Outlook and the first number, for January of this year, announced its purpose to keep the public well informed of the plans and policies of the government and the groups engaged in educational work within the republic. In consonance with this purpose it presents an article by the Secretary of Public Instruction, B. W. Payne dealing with educational activities, and one from Captain T. W. H. Beard, manager for Elder. Dempster & Co., dealing with more material developments. WOMEN AS LAWMAKERS. With the advent of women as voters, came their assumption of the right to make laws as well as to evade them, as sometimes happens in the matter of paying duties or running the risk of smuggling forbidden luxuries. While the first woman elected to the National Congress had to give place to a male successor, there have been several of her sex elected since, most of them being the widows of former representatives, and either appointed or chosen as a matter of sentiment. One woman was appointed to hold a seat in the United States Senate for a brief period, more as a matter of compliment than as an actual member, her service covering less than twenty-four hours. With the advent of women as voters, some their assumption of the right to make laws as well as to evade them, as sometimes happens in the matter of paying duties or running the risk of smugging forbidden luxuries. While the first woman elected to the National Congress had to give place to a male successor, there have been several of her sex elected since, most of them being the widows of former representatives, and either appointed or chosen as a matter of sentiment. One woman was appointed to hold a seat in the United States Senate for a brief period, more as a matter of compliment than as an actual member; her service covering less than twenty-four hours. A poll was recently made by the National League of Women Voters, which placed the number of women members at the legislatures of the varus states at one hundred and twenty-six. One of these was a member of the race Mrs. E. Howard Harper of West Virginia, who was appointed by the Governor to succeed her husband, who died while a member of the House of Representatives of that state. More than two-thirds of these women lawmakers were classed as Republicans, there being eighty-six credited to that party. Thirty-four were Democrats, four had no party designation, one was non-partisan and one independent, one time Harlem sent a woman to the assembly, she being solidly supported by the colored voters of her district, but after the lovely wore off she retired and succeeded by a male candidate. The entrance of women into politics was not yet brought about the revolution that was feared by apprehensive male politicians, many women not even availing themselves of the right to vote. So far as their record in office is concerned, whether legislative or administrative, it may be affirmed that it is neither better nor worse than that of the average man, spending largely on the character and experience of the individual. Some women, like Mrs. Pratt in the New York board of Aldermen, display unusual aptitude for politics, while others, like the former Secretary of State, Mrs. Knapp, not involved in serious difficulties. The women must learn their politics like the men in the school of experience. One Harlem woman told of having paid three thousand dollars on an account for furniture, when misfortune overtook her. She offered twenty-two dollars in part payment of her monthly instalment of fifty dollars, but the full payment was demanded and marshals took all her furniture. In this case more than three quarters of the amount had been paid, but no allowance or rebate was given the purchaser. Other cases were cited of a bed being taken from a sick child, doors smashed and furniture seized in the absence of the buyers and other instances that showed a disregard of the law in making illegal seizures. The harsh methods enforced by many of these installment houses show that they figure upon the failure of the purchasers to meet the letter of their contracts as a means of swelling their profits. The year opened with the inauguration of President King for his third term, an honor conferred upon no previous executive and one that indicated the courage to depart from American precedents. During the past eight years of his incumbency, Liberia has had her share of post-war troubles, but her recovery from economic depression is announced with the entering of a period of wholesome development. Foreign capital has been invited to enter the country upon favorable terms, promising additional revenues to the government and satisfactory employment to labor. External and internal debts have been consolidated and a new loan arranged for, which will take care of the old obligations and provide funds for internal improvements. The national authority has been extended over the native chiefs by following up the policy of conciliation. All this has been accomplished, it is claimed, without arousing any international or racial jealousies. A poll was recently made by the National League of Women Voters, which placed the number of women members in the legislatures of the varipus states at one hundred and twenty-six. One of these was a member of the race. Mrs. E. Howard Harper of West Virginia, who was appointed by the Governor to succeed her husband, who died while a member of the House of Representatives of that state. More than two-thirds of these women' lawmakers were classed as Republicans, there being eighty-six-credited to that party. Thirty-four were Democrats, four had no party' designation, one was non-partisan and one independent. At one time Harlem sent a woman to the Assembly, she being' solidly supported by the colored voters of her district, but after the lovelty wore off she retired and was succeeded by a male candidate. It is only fair to say on the other hand that a few of the larger establishments selling on time payments, deal fairly with their customers and give liberal extensions of time for payment in case of need or misfortune. Too often the buyers are ignorant of the rights they possess under their contracts and are said to permit seizures that should not be legally made. The equity acquired through the payments made before default occurs, it is held by legal advice, cannot be entirely wiped out by seizure of the goods. Relief for these luckless purchasers could be secured by application to the municipal courts, which were instituted to preserve the rights of the poor man. The entrance of women into politics has not yet brought about the revolution that was feared by apprehensive male politicians, many women not even availing themselves of the right to vote. So far as their record in office is concerned, whether legislative or administrative, it may be affirmed that it is neither better nor worse than that of the average man depending largely on the character and experience of the individual. Some women, like Mrs. Pratt in the New York Board of Aldermen, display unusual aptitude for politics, while others, like the former Secretary of State, Mrs. Knapp, get involved in serious difficulties. A recent message of President King to the Liberian Legislature discussed these developments in detail, emphasizing the improved condition due to these financial arrangements. The former receivership of customs was abolished and in its place a financial advisor appointed in the person of Sidney de la Rue, who had served six years as receiver of customs. A new wireless service had been established in Monrovia, which will connect the capital with various parts of the coast and give direct communication with America and Europe. Secretary Payne announced as one of the results of his visit to the 'United States a substantial grant from the Phelps-Stokes Fund for the purchase of books for the Despite the dangers incident to buying on the instalment plan, people of limited means will continue to use it because it gives them immediate possession of the things they want while they want them. The buyers on time should be careful, however, to deal with reputable houses and avoid the unserupulous dealers whose chief aim is to cheat the unwary. If the unfortunate purchaser is gouged by one of these harpies, he should seek legal advice as to his rights. The women must learn their politics like the men in the school of experience. KLAN TAKES TO THE WOODS. The announcement that the Ku Klux Klan would discard its sheets and pillow trips at midnight on Washington's Birth- WHAT NEWSPAPERS PRINT. The old adage, "Truth is stranger than Nannie Burroughs Replies To Dr. Williams fiction," would seem to be beyond contradiction, if the credulous reader was to accept as veritable facts the strange yarns that find their way into the pages of the daily press. One day last week there were three news stories printed on the same page of one of the leading New York dailies, not a tabloid either which taxed the belief of the most faithful. One story, bearing the imprint of the Associated Press, told of a horned toad, which showed signs of life when removed from the corner stone of a court house in Texas, where it had been buried thirty-one years ago. This is according to the Texas tradition which says that a horned toad can live a century without food or water, but zoologists called the story impossible. The next yarn related how a bull dog in Boston amazed her hearers by answering questions in a rather high pitched voice like that of a parrot. She says "Hello" just like that when greeted, can pronounce "ball" and "Bangor," and "when requested to do anything answers "I will" or "I won't" according to her mood. She also says "out" when desirous of exercise. Her longest word is said to be "elevator." A New York authority on dogs who saw this loquacious Boston speci- THE AGE REA Nannie Burroughs Re Editor of The New York Age After reading Dr. L. K. Williams' "piece" in the Negro-press, I turned to my Bible and read Job 38:2: "Who is it, that darkeneth counsel by words, without knowledge?" He says that he wrote his "piece" because he fears that the public might be led to believe that Miss Burroughs was the founder of the Training School. There are three things that Dr. Williams doubtless does not know. 1. That the public can read. 2. That the public supports the Training School because it likes the person who runs it and the way she runs it. 3. That the public has not asked him who founded the School. It did not have to ask. It is written and it has been written for seventeen consecutive years. The public has read it but since Dr. Williams has not we copy it from the catalogue for his enlightenment. The institution was founded by the Woman's Auxiliary and the National Baptist Convention. The property of six acres was purchased as a cost of $6,500 on July 18, 1907. The property was purchased by the National Baptist Convention, (held at Washington) September 14, 1907. "The founding of this school was not inspired by an OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE EDUCATIONAL AND HAIR OUTSIDE GIFT, but grew out of a CONSCIOUSNESS OF RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTY on the part of Negro Christian leaders, to train women and girls, to the highest level of religious, moral and cultural efficiency, to represent contributions of the "masses" to their own uplift. The spirit of sacrifice has been beautiful. Some could only give five cents, but most of them gave fifty onts and a dollar. Only one (a woman), gave as much as the other. Nobody has tried to mislead the public, and believe me, Dr. Williams, nobody can mislead that "wise old guy." That is what Lincoln meant when he said: "You can fool some of the people, all of the time; you can fool some of the time; but, you can't fool all of the people, all of the time." The fact of the matter is that the question as to who started the Training School is not now and never has been an issue, even in the National Baptist Convention. The wisdom of the Wesleyan Church was all of the property of the boards of National Baptist Convention put under a charter, and managed by a board of directors, which under that charter is given the right to mortgage any and all property, to employ and dismiss any and all secretaries of boards, is the vital question; and it was that vital question that I discussed at length in a recent newspaper article. This "piece" written by Dr. Williams is not an answer to the argument presented by me. I most respectfully ask Dr. Williams to again take his Bible and this time, I must him to read Dr. Jenkins 38:3. "Girl up now thy joys, like a man; for I will demand that you answer my question. In my discussion, let me put this question, which rent in twain the largest and most potential group of Negro Christians in the world, in the realms of reason, where it belongs, and I am sorry that Dr. Williams, in his attempt to answer me, has brought it down into the slough of rantings, where it does not belong and where the men of the National Baptist Convention will not let it stay. But since Dr. Williams has attempted to answer me, I must issue a note to "Who asked John?" let us go to the records and find out. That is what Dr. Williams should have done. In my article, I argued the case men, was quoted as singing its praises, calling it "the most remarkable of its kind I, ever saw." We should say so, though it is wonderful what a little imagination can do for the hearing, when properly stimulated. The third story came from Toronto, Canada, where was found a human ostrich who whets his appetite by chewing and swallowing old razor blades, presumably of the safety variety. A reporter and other witnesses watched him chew and swallow three blades, washed down by a glass of water. Once he tried an electric light bulb as a dessert. An operation for appendicitis six months ago was said to have failed to reveal any traces of this strange diet in the razor cater's system and he seemed immune from harm due to the fragments of steel. Besides the plain unvarnished news columns of the modern newspapers, such stretching of the long bow as was supposed to be done in the gorgeous tale of "The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," is but an unconsidered trifle of fiction involving no strain at all upon the baldest imagination. Evidently the new school of fiction must draw heavily upon the reportorial staff for its recruits. on the facts, drew conclusions from the evidence submitted, and issued an ultimatum, predicated on the law and the will, that I will not be called off the trail. I will, however, throw a little more light on it for the enlightenment of this host of Baptists who are travelled to the land of freedom and unity. Dr. Williams appointed himself to lead what he considered an unlightened public, and I am wondering who appointed him to speak for Mrs. Layen; in fact, I am wonder why she spoke on the subject before they recorded. Dr. Williams makes eight allegations and I deny every one of 1. I have never claimed to be the founder of the National Training School, but I am. I actually defied the men and I dragged the women into the project. Nobody, not even the women, had caught the national project, but she did not. The reasons were ternal and obvious. The women came from the states in which Baptists had their denominational schools and the people who came to the National Baptist Convention were leaders in their state education work. To assume another burden when the ones which they were carrying were missing from the project. Furthermore, the leaders, from Dr. Jordan down, felt that the establishment of this institution would take the life out of the foreign mission work, and Dr. E. C. Morris, for four consecutive years, in his annual message, set forth this fact as the chief cause of the opposition to the records and read them. The women now, could not heartily support any movement that did not meet the approval of the leaders in the states. The women were sympathetic but skeptical and practically apathetic. 2. Dr. Williams claims that the idea is Mrs. Layen's. It is not, under her discussion of "Education" at the first meeting at Cincinnati, Ohio. Otherwise, Mrs. Layen does not even mention the establishment of *a* school; she pleads for the support of the already established schools in the states, and her only reference to trained, workers is under her appeal for women to send to foreign fields; read page 17 of the same minute; but in the same record, on the basis of the evidence, the mention in a printed address, under the caption, "A Training School," Nannie H. Burroughs made the following and the first appeal: "The age in which we live demands that we have well-trained men and women in all walks of life. Our secretary suggested at the open session that we should also conventify the opening of a Woman's Training School and that the local executive committee be empowered to confer with our Home Mission Board as to the wisdom of such a course. We see the wisdom of this course. We also recommend that your committee be instructed to meet and confer with the board at Nashville, Tennessee, November 4, 1901." And, she made similar appeals every year, in her annual report until the convention voted favorably on her proposal of 1901, page 22; 1902, page 27; 1903, page 303; 1904, page 346; 1905, page 257. I have never claimed to be founder of the National Training School for Women and Girls. I gave our women and girls the opportunity to equip ourselves which we have sent out in 17 years. Here is what I wrote about who founded the school: "The Institution was founded by the Woman's Convention and the National Baptist Convention." Everybody knows that the National Baptist Convention found a school, but I gave them credit for it. See the catalogue, page 10. I Under the somewhat puzzling headline "When a Negro is Not a Negro," the Norfolk Journal and Guide refers to the disposition of most of the literary lights to prefer the Negro in his primitive state as a source of material. It said: First we had the Southern statesman and plantation owner protesting against the education of the Negro because it "spoiled a good farm hand." Now the group of literary nightwishers the suddenly widened the dark brother's source of material is regretting his emergence from the crude oil to the polished. It is a state of mind. To most persons of the opposite race the Negro is a type, rather than an average human being. They visualize the Negro as a person of high personality, but cannot see him at all as an educated person, with cultivated tastes for music, art, books, baths, and the higher things of the spirit. When he arrives at that state of refinement he is no longer a literary mind, but a literary minds that can discover source material in white persons of average intelligence can find it only in a Negro clown. Of course there are many white writers that are throwing off this obsession. They are finding that the thing they want is material. The material they are cultivated in the Negro African if they have the culture and tolerance themselves to look for it. They are finding also that there is something decidedly not clownish or grotesque in the primitive type. The type they would rather not find that in a Negro the higher attributes are preserved and gorified by processes of culture The trouble is that the primitive type more readily fits the needs and abilities of the Octavus Roy Cohen school of writers, who deal in burlesque exaggerations. Considering the question of "What Shall We Eat?" the insatiable editor of the Washington Tribune protested against the proposition of a Baltimore physician that the government should dictate dinner menus of the people. He said: We are not disposed to argue with the Doctor on the scientific basis of relative food values for physical and mental health and strength. Fashions in food will have their way. But if we are to straddle a restaurant stool or pull up the chair at our own table and be obliged to think about eabibles, starches, carbohydrates and vitamins, we would just as soon not eat. Nature tells the dumb beasts of the field what to eat and what to let alone. Nature would still tell the animal called man, if man him by manufacturing and cooking ccesses. A dog knows when to quit eating. Man in the aggregate, does not; or knowing, does not heed Nature's warning. Eat wisely, according to recognizet rules. the careful of had combinations he makes, what you like. It is not so much WHAT we eat as HOW MUCH we eat that determines health. If a paternal government may regi- ulate the drinking habits 'of its citi- ents, why should it not protect them from abuses of the digestive system Playing variations on an old theme the Pittsburgh Courier took up some recommendations in a recent report as to the conditions of the Negro urban population. It concluded. As a solution the report recommends more and better supervision of the Negro sections by the health, zoning and public-service departments, more playgrounds, better schools and increasing home ownership. It should seem that there is much that the Negroes themselves—and in some places are doing—in the direction of health education; for many of the Negroes'ills are due to ignorance and superstition. If the Negro churches could ever get out of debt and away from the mania for constructing new and expensive edifices, they could in each holding lectures on health, circulating literature and generally working on the theory that the church exists for the people and not the other way around. There is a great deal in this direction that could be done by the fraternal organizations, too. The fraternal work, convention or convalescence, a sanitary advisor, a trained nurse and purchase a plot of ground for children's recreation. These churches and fraternal organizations which already have the mass of the people, should take the lead also in educating their members in co-operative housing and furthering the establishment. gave our women credit and they always shall have the credit, although the credit of founding it really belongs to me. I am not working for credit, I am working for results. The women are in charge of the credit. I give them credit for every dollar that I raise, but over two-thirds of the money that I raise every year comes from people who are not connected with the Woman's Auxiliary, nor with the National (Continued on Seventh Page). The lamentable sanitary conditions existing in many Negro communities could shortly be ameliorated if Negroes did sufficient protection against malnutrition and inefficiency of the city government; it is a simple matter to stage a mass meeting against lynching, but it seems to be a hard matter to arouse the opinion of our public to the point of protecting vigorously against unhealthful conditions; to burden the life of civilians with a promise or a menace. What it shall be depends very largely upon the people themselves. As in most of our problems, social, political and otherwise, the remedy must be sought for in arousing the people themselves to a sense of their power to help themselves. * The St Luke Herald of Richmond sees "Virginia at Its Worst," in the racial purity nonsense daily pulled off at this session of the State legislature. It said: It is the most ridiculous course of folly and racial madness that so-called intelligent people could be guilty of enacting. After all the mouth-frothings concerning Nordic history of the forloretime we come to the following: "Every person having any ascertainable degree of Negro blood, or who is descended on the part of the father or mother from Negro ancestors, without reference to or limit to any number of generations removed, shall be deemed a colored person." This brazen and stilted ignorance takes the rage off the bush. This is house bill No. 2, mind you, number 2, only one coming before it, whose sons and Indians. It makes Virginia a laughingstock before the world. The consumption of taxes and time of the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia may not be taken into account by the legislators, and the earth their own ghastly skeletal body of cross-breeding the races for nearly four hundred years. The argument used by a Richmond daily, to whip legislators in line, was that Senators failing to vote for this bill would "have it written in their records that they are opposed to classifying as Negroes all persons having Negro blood." Discussing the entry of racial candidates for office in the Illinois primaries, the Chicago Bee sounded a note of warning as to their selection. It said: Every time an Afro-American aspirant for office loses it weakens the candidacy of those aspirants that follow. Years ago we were represented on the county commissioners. In a democratic landslide we lost our representative. Since then although we have had candidates for office against us again and the always failed of election, because in most instances, they were not sufficiently known throughout the country to draw heavily in the district outside of their own. Our political leaders then should seek a wider acquaintance among the electorate of the city and county and state and should also have a tacit agreement and understanding with the white political candidates from the white districts for colored candidates, if they are fit, will be demanded in just proportion as the white candidates demand and get from the colored districts. A review of the election returns of any given period will show that all white candidates receive the full support of the colored ward votes and in districts having a large colored votes for office where a percentage of white votes is necessary to elect them get little support from those districts. It is high time that the colored voters seek reprisals for these disempurpancies in favor of candidates of other groups and against their own. Care should be exercised in the selection of candidates, and dates that their fitness cannot be questioned, and then the full support of all citizens should be demanded, and, if not given, then support for their candidates should be withheld. Eternal vigilance is not only the price of liberty, but is essential to getting a square deal in politics regardless of party labels. Accentring the point that politics is cold business, the Philadelphia Tribune made the following suggestion of a successor to a local leader who had climbed into power on the necks of Negroes: Magistrate Edward W. Henry is the logical man to leash the Thirtieth Ward. He has his faults, most human beings are not perfect. But by far, long and wide "Ed" Henry should be made the "boss". Some people will object to the discussion of this subject while a man dies dead. But the "organization" put stickers on ballots when it thought Atterson was about to be elected. Others then will make "Ed" Henry a "big man". Suppose it does? What objection should we have to a NeoCroat being a powerful man in politics? Some of us are stupid enough to object. But those of us who are "supposed" to have good sense should use our influence to ward the end of having a colored ward leader in Philadelphia. We have been talking about the advantages of to take position or present. And the only thing that will present the Negroes from having the leadership of the Thirtieth Ward within their race is themselves. That sounds like practical politics the only kind that achieves practical results. Philadelphia voters have an opportunity that should not be wasted. Los Angeles, Calif.-George Godwin, colored heavyweight champion, became a real menace to Gene Tunney, the world's champion, Tuesday night, February 28, by scoring an easy victory over Paolo Lircumdum of Spain, who has been considered one of the leading white contenders for Mr. Tunney's crown. The ten-round contest took place at Wrigley Field, a converted baseball park, and was witnessed by 40,000 fans. So far was Paoloino outclassed that the impression has gone abroad that the colored fighter "carried" his opponent for the last few rounds. Godwin won almost every round. He used a short club right, to score repeatedly to Paoloino's head and hammer away at the body. During the early part of the night, Paolino drew Godfrey into pinches, and attempted to beat him on in-fighting. He failed away at the colored fighter's body, but Godfrey had little trouble in stopping these rushes and occasionally looked over the Basque's head and grinned at the crowd. Paolino was chased all over the field during the eighth, ninth and tenth rounds. His stomach and were a deep scarlet and in ninth round Godfrey brought spurting from his opponent's hand and opened a cut over Paolino. The final rounds were overwhelmingly in Godfrey's presence was no question about decision. Edwards Wins A. A. U. 600-Yd.

Alpha College George Gregory, Columbia University star, just a few nights ago, resumes to this contest in order that could participate in the game. It was his playing more than any other player that made contest so close. Omega was only assisted by Quinn Hard, Pollitt, Harvey and Law, in the first half this quinneyed the Omegas. The score time was 18-14. But in the second half, Stretch Grant and the two brothers struck their stride and even eaped up the score.

But before the joint meeting the Easterners held an important business meeting. At this meeting Coll. Stouthors owner of the Harriburg Giants, surrendered the franchise of his club and this franchise was given over to the Lincoln Giants, who withdrew from the League last summer. In returning to the League, James J. Keenan, owner of the Lincoln, conceded the right of the Western League to the services of Alonzo Montalvo and agreed to return this player to the Cubau Stars of Chicago. Harrisburgh Withdraws By the withdrawal of Harrisburg, the players on that team became the property of the League and each of the other member teams drew for them. Oscar Charleston, home run king, becomes the property of the Bacharach Giants; Johnny Beckwith will sport the Hildale uniform; "Fats" Jenkins and Dixon went to Baltimore and the Lincoln's got Cannady, shortstop, and Sam Cooper, pitcher. The other players went to the Royals and Cuban Stars. Among other important business transactions by the Eastern organization, transferring of the Bacharach Giants' to Washington of Atlantic City, who is the new owner of this team. It was also decided to have a new public agent for the League and it is reported that Rollo Wilson, Philadelphia representative of the Pittsburgh Counter will succeed Lloyd P. Thompson to this position. The next meeting of the Eastern moguls will be in New York when a schedule for the 1928 season will be worked out. The season will open April 28. Association, released for publication this week by J. Mercer Burrell, secretary of the A. T. A. This year's ratings will be of more than ordinary interest to tennis (anus, as-this is the first time that the official rating scale adopted by the A. T. A. has been used by the Committee. In this scale, tournaments are given a certain numerical value in the order of their importance, beginning with the Nationals and continuing on thru even to club tournaments. Men's Singles "Ted" Thompson, the 1925 National Champion, staged a comeback and has ousted Eyre Saitch, the hard-hitting -New Yorker, from No. 1 position in the Meu's Singles. As winner of the Nationals at Hampton, in which he defeated Saitch, "Ted" is entitled to this position. "Ted was also finalist in the Eastern Open Sectional Championships at Bordentown, where he defeated the 1926 champion. This was "Ted" defeat and he secured his revenge at Hampton. H cidefeaed Hudlin in the quarterfinals of the Nationals. Saitch pushed Thomson closely for first place, being a finalist at Hampton, winner of the Eastern Sectional and a finalist in the St. Louis Open, which he lost to Hullin. For the last four years Saitch and "Ted" have furnished a problem to the Rating Committee, because of the closeness of their scores, and the similarity of their styles of play. Dr. E. D. Downing, of Virginia, has advanced from No. 5 in 1926 to No. 3 in the current ratings. He was a semi-finalist in the Nationals, winner of the West Virginia Open and quarter-finalist in Southeastern Open. Sectional. Downing developed a powerful forehand drive during the season, and showed a startling improvement in his all around game. The most notable comeback in tennis history is that of Dr. Sylvester Smith, Singles Champion of the A. T. A. in 1919 and finalist in 1920. After remaining out of the game for five years, "Syl" fought big way to the semi-finals in the Easters, won the Pennsylvania Open and made a creditable showing in the Nationals, despite illness during the week. Dr Smith is very properly placed at No. 4. Richard Huddlin the hard-driving former University of Chicago ace, has moved up from No. 7 in 1926 to No. 5 in the current list. Huddlin's principal performance of the season was his defeat of Saitch in the St. Louis Open. He gave "Ted" Thompson a thrilling battle in the quarter-finals of the Nationals. Women's Singles In the women's singles Miss Lulu Ballard, like "Ted" Thompson, has regained the honors held in 1925 turning the tables on her perennial rival Miss Isadora Channels, now of Virginia. Miss Ballard's victories over Miss Channels in the finals of the Nationals and of the Easterns assured her the No. 1 position. Her only defeat of the season was at the hands of Miss GEORGE GODFREY Now A Heavyweight Championship Contender A Ora Washington, in the finals of the Pennsylvanian. Open. Miss Channels holds down No. 2 position on her winning of the Southeastern open and reaching the final round in the Nationals and Easterns. Miss Ora Washington holds her same position as No. 3 having been deceived by Miss Channels in the Nationals and by Miss Ballard in the Easterns, Miss Washington is still a dangerous contender for championship honors. Miss Eunice Brown of North Carolina has made a big jump in No. 2 on Shaun Finlayson finalist in the Southeastern Open and made a creditable-showing in the Nationals, also winning on open and a closed tournament. Mrs. Lottie Wade of New York, is another notable addition to the comeback class. After remaining out of competition for two years, Mrs. Wade has regained her position in the first five of the women. She won the New England Open, defeated Mrs. Ewell, No. 4 in 1926 in the Nationals and lost to Miss Washington in the semi-finals of the Pennsylvania Open, besides competing in the Easterns. New Yorker Advances Mrs. Emma Leonard of New York had a successful season and has advanced from No. 12 to No. 6. According to the records in the hands of the Rating Committee, Mrs. Dorothy Radcliffe Ewell only secured enough points to be rated at No. 7. She was defeated in the early rounds of the Nationals by Mrs. Wade. This is the first time for five years that Mrs. Ewell has failed to make the first five. Miss Anita Gant of Washington is rated at No. 8. She held No. 3 position in the 1926 list, Mrs. Frances Gilens has also made a improvement from No. 10 to No. 9. She is recognized as one of the coming players of note, showing in local tournaments the Nationals and Southeasterns was Mrs. Roberts of Virginia by her rated at No. 10. The Rating Committee for 1927 consisted of Miss Laura J. Junior, Chairman, Dr. D I. Hoag, Dr. C. W. Furlonge, Dr. A L. Jackson, and Mr. Harry Craft. This is the same committee as last year. The Committee was faced with a tremendous task because of the large number of entrants in the Nationals, Easterns and the Southeasterns. In addition, many organizations staging tournaments failed to send in the official score sheets within the time limit set by the Committee. As formerly, these organizations must accept the responsibility for omissions or errors due to their failure to properly file score sheets with the Committee, as required by the rules of the A. T. A Miss Junior, as for former years has personally attended all of the major tournaments, and has collected and tabulated information on the season's record of more than 800 individual players in all sections of the country. The Officers of the American Tennis Association for the year 1927-1928 are as follows: Dr. Harry S. McCard, President; Mr. D. I. Hoage, First Vice-President; Miss Laura V. junior, Second Vice President; E. Kinkele Jones, Treasurer; Gerald F. Norman, Executive Secretary; J. Mercer Burrell, Secretary; Albert F. MacDowell, Asst.' Executive Secretary; Lawrence C. Dancy, Asst.' Secretary. ADVERTISE YOUR FURNISHED ROOMS, IN THE AGE Edited by WILLIAM E. CLARK GODFREY championship Contender "Happy" Worde and Mrs. Thornhill Are Leading New Jersey Net Stars "Happy" Worde and Mrs. Thornhill Are Leading New Jersey Net Stars The 1927 ratings of the New Jersey Tennis Association Inc., have just issued, with Solomon (Happy) Worde of the North End Tennis Club of Elizabeth, and Mrs. B. W. Thornhill of the Ortec Tennis Club of Montclair, holding the premier honors in their respective class, men's and women's singles. Both are holding the No. 1 position by virtue of being the New Jersey champions in that event. They displace A-Kenneth Worde, Solomon's brother, and Miss Elevata Marcellus, who held that position in 1926. Lester B. Granger and Randolph Granger ascend to the premier place in the men's doubles, dethroning the Worde Brothers who were ranked at No. 1 for the several years past. The mixed doubles title is held by Miss Elevata Marcellus of Plainfield and Solomon Worde, who displace Mrs. B. W. Thornhill and Harvey Butler of Montclair, Mrs. Thornhill, together with Mrs. Bertha Sadler of Montclair, lead the women's doubles. The most important of the changes from the 1926 ratings are: The men's singles we find that Dester Granger rises to No. 3 this year from the 8th position last year. Harvey Butler retains his place as No. 2. Kenneth Worde who has led the field for the past two years drops back to No. 4. William Willis retains his fifth place. Henry Williams climbed up to No. 6 from 9th the year before. George Hill who was not rated last year comes in; at the seventh place and Logan McWilson dropping to No. 8 from his fourth place. Albert Terry drops back two places to No-9 and Herman Marrow who is Jersey's leading junior being ranked at No. 10 in the ratings with the senior players. Marrow is also the Class B Champion. The women's singles show a few changes, Mrs. Thornillh and Mrs. Sadler rising from second and third places to first and second places respectively, Mrs. M. Davis a newcomer in Jersey pulls in No. 3 position and Mrs. Marcellus, last year's champion following Miss Olive Vaughan drops back, to one place to No. 5. With the exception of Miss Holcombe the balance of the women are newcomers to Jersey's ranking list. Roosevelt Theatre "Brass Knuckles" comes to the Roosevelt Theatre next Saturday for a run of 3 days. It is a Warner Bros. production and Monte Blue and Betty Bronson are starred. The story and scenario were written by Harvey Gates, and Lloyd Bacon directed. Scenes in prison, in the tenements, the courts, and the homes of the poor of a great city, provide locale for "Brass Knuckles." The story is of a tenement lad who is wrongly imprisoned, and while in jail incurs the hatred of a fellow-inmate, who hounds his after-life, trying to separate him from the motherless wolf for whom he is caring. Hard-fisted, terrier, humorous, pathetic, running the whole gamut of human passions, "Brass Knuckles" is a story hard to forget. Monte Blue and Betty Bronson do splendid work in the stellar roles, and the cast includes William Russell, George Stone, Paul Panzer and Jack Chris. Having seen "Brass Knuckles," you'll want all your friends to see it. ```markdown ``` Austrian Parliament Discusses Joe Baker Vienna, Austria—Josephine Baker, New York Negro dancer, whose announced appearance in Vienna on March 1 in her exotic dances has created sharp controversy throughout Austria, was the subject of a long debate in the Austrian National Parliament on February 25. Dr. Jerzabeck, a leader of the clerical party, and a practising physician for twenty-five years, declared he was opposed to her appearance not because of her color or nationality but because she appeared before the public "dressed only in a postage stamp." Moreover, he contended that dance was "dance of real art, consisting only of grotesque distortions and writhing grimaces." Dr. Jerzabeck complained of public posters all over Vienna showing the dancer attired in only a string of pearls and a few ostrich feathers "like a Congo savage." "It is scandalous," he shouted. "that we are asked to pay 100,000 shillings to see nudity when a hundred thousand workmen are walking the streets of Vienna searching for employment and food." Reporter who rule the City of Vienna replied sarcastically: "Then see to it that none of your bourgeois friends see her dances and nudity."

Irvin Miller's New Revue Goes Big At Lafayette Theatre A cast of old and new favorites were presented at the Lafayette Theatre for a week's engagement on Monday by Irvin C. Miller. The new revue has been named "Harlem Frivolities" and if the approbation of the matinee audience means anything, then Miller was given liberal 'encouragement to take his new show downtown. He has welded together an excellent cast, a fine jazz band, dazzling costumes and gorgeous scenery for a fine evening's entertainment. Gallie DeGaston, one of our most popular comedians, furnished most of the comedy and acts as a sort of master of ceremonies.ucker and Perrin, famous Keith headliners, and two women comedians, two in the rest of the fun. The two female comedians are Josephine Byrd and Marie Gonzalez. Miss Harriet Calloway, a newcomer, stopped the show with as fine an exhibition of dancing as has been presented at this theatre recently. There are other splendid features in the revue and the photoplay attraction is one of the best pictures of the season, "The Gorilla," a screen adaptation of the famous stage success. Alhambra Celebrates 6 M onths Anniversary Under Present Control One bali year has passed since the present management of t the Alhambra Theatre took possession of the big building which was then lying closed and teanted only by a lonely watchman and the Alhambra cat. Today the Alhambra rings with the applause of thousands who come to see "Flying High," the production which celebrates the six month birthday. The big cast has been increased by the engagement of the favorite comedian Sandy Burns, and the statuesque singer, Viola McCoy. Sam Manning is there, as well as Slim Henderson, Mantan and George Green. Also Ethel Ridley, Zudora and the "Madcap Mandy" Randolph. Sterling Grant, Cross and Jackson and others also belong, and at intervals the Alhambra Girls come on in 'all their splendor—sometimes in odd head-dresses which make them all redheads. The airplane flight is the sensational climax to this most unusual revue. Wednesdays's midnight show promises to be a great event. Next week's attraction is "Joyland", which will have novel features galore and more new faces. Gardner Writes About Negro Art Development Fred Gardner of 110 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, vice president of the Society of Independent Artists, who made a careful survey of the exhibition of Negro art recently held at the International House, 500 Riverside Drive, under auspices of the Harmon Foundation and the Commission on Race and Church Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, expresses his views on the race's art capacity in the following letter: Editor on The New York Age: Considered in the light of the Negroe's achievements in the fields of literature, music and the dance, the recent exhibition of Negro art at International House could not be taken as representing the race's best efforts in painting and sculpture. What this exhibition seemed to lack was the emotional element resulting from the irresistible inborn impulse to create that characterizes the Negroes' other forms of expression. This does not mean that the artist possesses technical skill or even knows of its existence but works from an inner vision and in the manner that the emotions direct rather than from standardized formulas. It was under such circumstances that the greatest of all art has been produced and if it was such that originated the Spirituals poetry and dances of the colored race. Phillis Wheatley knew nothing of the technique of verse, neither were the originators of Spirituals trained in counterpoint, nor the creator of the Charleston versed in rules of the Russian ballet, but each let their innermost feelings prompt their efforts. It is under such circumstances that a school founded first be established, and not by merely recognizing those who are followers of established standards of European culture. The colored race must possess a vast amount of unregulated talent which will never be found in the art's schools, but must be sought through open no-jury exhibitions in which production is encouraged by langing all work that is submitted, regardless of skill according to technical standards. Such an exhibition could be conducted along lines similar to those of The Society of Independent Artists in New York or the no-jury societies of Chicago and Boston; each of which is open to all and offer opportunities for the exhibition of work without submission to a jury. I sincerely hope that in the near future frequent exhibitions may be held in which the works, not only of the Negro who is following art as a profession is shown, but also the efforts of those who follow other lines of work as a means of livelihood and paint as an avocation, will be shown regardless of its resemblance to other recognized standards of art. It is altogether likely that from the latter class a powerful school will eventually develop that will enrich 'the whole world by its existence, as the literature and music of the Negro has already done.

TO QUININE POMADE It was on the morning of February 20th, 1926, that a mother-sat is her comfortable and recently-acquired home in Jamaica, N. Y., mansion. And well might she muse. Had not Providence been kind to her. She had experienced thirty-six years of married life, and the man to whom she had given her heart and hand those score and sixteen years ago was still her lover, and she was still his sweetheart. True, this years had exacted their toll, as they do to everyone, still their passing had failed to mar the constanty and devotion which each had pledged in the beginning of their bliss. To be sure they had their share of struggling and their share of sorrow, for the fruition of their love was eight children, three of whom had died in childhood. But this had made them all the more thankful to the Almighty for His goodness in sparing five of these, two of whom were happily married and three still members of the family. It was while in this mood of pleasant retrospection that the contented mother was informed by her youngest daughter, Serena, that, after she had attended to an errand, her father had entrusted to her when he left home, she was going to call on a girl friend who lived in the neighborhood. The incidents recorded happened two years ago to the day on Monday, February 20th of this year, and from that day to this, not one word or sign has been heard of the sixteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew P. Coundy of Jamaica, N. Y. From a home in which nothing but love was her portion went the young daughter. Where she went and what has become of her, are phases of her disappearance which twenty-four months of efforts by the police departments of Jamaica, Manhattan, and various private agencies have failed to solve. It is this curtain of mystery hiding their child which brings to the heart-broken mother gloomy days and sleepy nights. It is this veil of uncertainty that shadows the once bright and happy home. Rumors of all sort have come to the family concerning the whereabouts of Serena, some of which have been extremely malicious, but these have all turned out to be merely cannags. Serena's disappearance is just as much a mystery to the Condy Family today as it was the day after the one on which she went away. So, or two long years, years that have left their marks of travail, "Andy" Condy and his devoted wife have prayed day and night to God to hold His merciful arm of protection around their missing daughter. It is with this simple faith in the efficacy of prayer that they live in the hope that they will know the fate of their daughter before they pass to the Great Beyond. This is the message they send to their daughter: "Serena, if your eyes should fall upon this message, hesitate not a minute regarding your condition or position in life, but come to your parents. We are waiting to receive you with open arms. If you do not care to remain with us, your wish will be respected. We only ask to know your fate. The mother, who would gladly give her life for you, if that were required, only asks that you let her speak to you, her baby child, ones more before she dies. Surely you will grant this one request of the best friend you have ever had and will ever have in this world." Should anyone under whose eye this message falls, have any concrete information regarding the missing girl, relay this information to Detective Holden, Detective Bureau, No. 58, Telephonie Jamaica 1700 Pullman Service Instructor and Wife Are Recipients Of Many Expressions of Best Wishes The newly-wedded Pullman service instructor, Charles H. Hunter, and his wife, nea, Lillian E. Sharpe, a writer and advertising agent on the staff of the Amsterdam News, are the recipients of many expressions of host wishes from co-workers and friends. These expressions are in the form of wedding gifts, which, judging by their appropriateness, were presented by donors with excellent ideas of marital needs. In Mrs. Hunter, the Pullman fraternity in this city has annexed an addition of which it may well be proud. A native of Mississippi, which state she once taught school and was connected with the Rosenwald Foundation Fund. Mrs. Hunter has an intellectual background, plus a winning personality, which friends predict will be of much help to her husband. Some of Mr. Hunter's old acquaintances have dubbed him "Lucky Charlie." Mr. Hunter was the first Negro to be made a clerk at Mott Haven Yards. His present position is a promotion from the clerkship job. The Hunters reside at 80 St. Nicholas place. A True Knight of the Rails Appreciates Column Sylvester Brown, of whom none may speak other than with respect, and a true knight of the rails writes this column as follows: New York City, February 19th, 1928 Dear Friend Hogans: I am enclosing to you my renewal blank and two dollars for yearly subscription to The Age. I understand that the way the ladies begin to read a good novel is to turn to the last chapter first. So, that is the way I begin reading The Age. I always turn first to our "Seen, Heard And Done" column. I am enclosing to you my renewal subscription to The Age. I underscore to read a good novel is to turn to the way I begin reading The Age, Heard And Done" column. To me it is a happy medium, on what is going on in our group, thought my little effort last year dear good friend, Louis White has will be a big year for you. In reading Mr. Ford's letter in was one thing that stood out and was very glad that you touched on reference to the ministers of Hard affairs of the Pullman Company. I do well to attend to their own abor or at least find out something aborter for discussion." The editor of this column will n umber and officer in one of the I'll regret to note the attitude of Broadcast veteran porters as "I Stool Pigeons" and "Yas Suh, Bose and wearing glasses, as though the exercise, has lost sympathizers to the way of thinking, it doesn't do to so To me it is a happy medium, for you keep the boys well posted on what is going on in our group. I am very glad to know that you thought my little effort last year was an asset to you; also that my dear good friend, Louis White has become so interested. I trust this will be a big year for you. In reading Mr. Ford's letter in a recent edition of The Age, there was one thing that stood out and above anything he has written. I was very glad that you touched on it in your column, especially with reference to the ministers of Harlem and elsewhere melding in the affairs of the Pullman Company. These gentlemen to my mind would do well to attend to their own affairs regarding unity and so forth; or at least find out something about ours before they take up the matter for discussion." The editor of this column will inject just here that Mr. Brown is a member and officer in one of the large Negro churches in Harlem. "I regret to note the attitude of some of our well-meaning friends. Broadcasting veteran porters as 'Uncle Toms,' 'Handkerchief Heads,' 'Stool Pigeons' and 'Yas Suh, Boss', and showing you carrying a cane and wearing glasses, as though this were not one's own privilege to exercise, has lost sympathizers to these well-meaning friends. To my way of thinking, it doesn't do to satirize in all cases. "I remain sincerely yours, Forgot Their Country The following limerick was set runs to Canada, and is self-explanation Forgot Their Country and President The following limerick was sent to this column by a poster who runs to Canada, and is self-explanatory: A group of dissatisfied voters Hungry and dry, Went away to Canada For a drink of Rye, When the Rye was open They began to sing: "Who the H—— is Collidge God save the King." As To Mr. S. E. Grain Editor of The New York App. I discern from your issue on January 28, 1928, a gentleman vip. E. Grain, has taken upon him bell the opportunity to write of Mr. C. Philip Randolph and his workers, journeying to Washington, D. C. to attend a meeting to acquaint a few of his admirers of the condition of the Pulliam porters, of which the down-mol Dear Friend Hogans: "SYLVESTER BROWN". know one iota of "what it is all about." "I note that he stated that on Sunday afternoon at John M. Welkley Church, the Brotherhood held its meeting, with Senator Copeland of New York, A. P. Randolph and DesVergery among the speaker," the Senator chained and stained of portent in carrying on an organization of this kind (as he needs such type of Negro in his District to support him politically in retaining his seat in Congress). He said, "if The Municipal Civil Service Commission announces the pay that you may file applications for two of the City's important examinations beginning search; last; they are for firefighters, marine and Food Inspector 2nd grade, and Police keeper's Helper. Candidates for Probation Officer must be at least 25 years old on the date of filing applications. There is no age limit for these examinations. All these positions, carry good salaries. 40 food Inspectors will be appointed date after the establishment of the eligibility sons are urged to take these examinations, as it is along with our propaganda that we want to use a larger number of our group holding Civil Service positions. The last day for filing applications for these examinations is March 15th; so there will be no delay. Police Commissioner Warren appointed 498 more men to the forces during the past week. The New York State Civil Service Commission and amusecata group of 54 various examinations for the different State offices on March 24th, 2013, these examinations must be filed at any time March 10th. There are many examinations in this group which should have a wide appeal to the residents of Harlem. Write to the State Department of the Civil Service and get information about these tests, One of these examinations is for File 111 of the Civil Service Commission is an unusual salary for this class of work. The examination is easy. The United State Civil Service Commission is still experiencing difficulty in obtaining sufficient men to fill the vacancies in the New York City and the Brooklyn Post Office men from 18 to 45. The examinations are being held once in each month. The next examination is set for March 17th. Applications may be had at any time at the J.S. Custom House, New York City. Only 153 candidates competed in the State Secretary examination held by the Ministry Civil Service Commission Feb. 23rd. About 200 certifications were made to the various City and State Bureaus last week on account of vacancies or added help in the running of government offices. The City is holding continuous examination for all engineer and positions requiring mechanical training. You may make application at any time with the Commission at the Municipal Building, New York City. Just tell them what line you are qualified to work. You can forcibly just established by the Municipal Commission contains the names of 310 successful candidates. I were a laboring man in any sense of the word. I would sit on the front seat at any labor meeting." He also said "Yes, there is a new white man as well as a New Negro, which we all know in the advanced age, standing for equal justice for blacks as well as for whites. We are the underdogs socially, politically economically and otherwise"; which is a bunch of applesace. If he is sincere in his statements, let him accept you folks of Harlem in his home and social circle; advocate a representative of the Jewish community; congresses; give Negroes high salaries as his folks receive, and we in Washington will wait and see the results of all this before we follow suit. Our statements, on Monday there was nothing but propaganda exploits. On Tuesday, Randolph and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell called on the president, who are acquainted with his Excellency, the President, know of his calm and cool attitude, but we cannot vouch for him glorifying the courage and concession of porters, to organize for better wages and better conditions and manners, as we in Washington know of his idea and system of economy. Perry Parker journeyed to Washington by special request from our Local Committee of Pullman Porters Benefit Association, for a special record of wires to Perry Parker and C. C. Webb, requesting their attendance at our banquet, paid by our local No. 34, H. W. Lucas, chairman, and not paid by the Pullman Company. "He was my mind, preposterous for Negroes in the 20th century to carry on such propaganda against a deserving organization. Any fool knows how last the whole universe has grown in the last decade. The glory of his coming to do with the Pullman porters. The remainder of his articles is foreign to us, so we can't just grasp the situation or speak his language. Yet, Mr. Parker land his strong, sturdy, sophisticated love "watch dogs" will carry out his plan for a representative group. Perry Parker, as I have known him in the past twenty-five years, when he was in Cincinnati, Ohio, is one black man with other black men of the Pullman Company, upstart business, and one black man to take their place upon a higher sphere, giving bread and sustenance to over 100,000 other black men and women. Yes, you must tolerate such an individual if you would exist. Never should you be afraid of Perry Parker outlived his usefulness, if he lives 1000 years. You are liable to say anything "but your prayers." Fourteen thousand porters will never organize under such workers. Chairman Local No. 34 S. H.
