Fillmore Leader Says Such Orders Were Given; Bolden Praises The Present White Control That a true charge was made in a news story printed in The Age of February 25, concerning a trade between supporters of Abraham Grenthal, Republican candidate for reelection to the State Assembly, and Hugh Masterson, Democratic candidate for reelection to the Board of Aldermen of New York City, in which the voters in the white election districts of the 19th Aldermanic District were said to have been urged to split their tickets, voting for Grenthal and Masterson, and against George E. Hall and Fred R. Moore, candidates for Assembly and Board of Aldermen, respectively, on the Democratic and Republican tickets, both being Negroes, seems evident from a statement by Col. Charles W. Fillmore. Col. Fillmore, a veteran of the recent world war, cited for distinguished honors in connection with his service in the Old 19th N. Y. The Negro Aldermen, decembrerly, with Grenthal, who is also the Republican leader in the Old 19th N. Y., later admitted that he had been granted a remand in the lower end of his term, the locality in which the grenthal predominate, to cut the vote, for Moore, alleging that he had been told that Moore had had been fold that Moore had trade with Attorney George E. Hall, the Negro Democratic candidate for the Assembly. Notwithstanding that the colored members are largely in the majority in this committee a lack of leadership not only enabled Lord Grenthal to pass over the grenthal program. But he was able to carry through some minorities in the committee, and the leaders were evidently persecuted and it was only after scouts had been sent out to round up other members, and after a number of conferences, that the meeting was called to order at 9.45 p. m. And then, contrary to the state custom, Grenthal omitted the preliminary announcements concerning Genthal is, specified by Fillmore with saying: that he made no effort to verify the report, but, insisted on, votes for, himself, and, Alderman Masterson, as against the colected candidates. No Effort At Verification. Information is at hand that Grenhal had every, opportunity, to verify this alleged report, as he was at luncheon with David B. Costuma, former leader, Sidney C. Lewis and Mr. Moors, but that he made no reference to such a report. On the contrary, during this luncheon, and while riding, around all day to the various polls, when he seemed to be at in Mr. Moors' hand, did by the captains was referred to Grenhal is reported to have, brushed the matter aside, declaring that he would iron out all those sort of things. But attention is again called to the fact as shown in a tabulation of the vote cast in the election, that the vote for *Grenhald* and *Masterson*, in fourteenth of the thirty-election district located in the 19th district, is fairly similar to the same. But in the other districts, where the Negro vote is largest, the vote for Grenhald was about the same as for Moore, while Hall and Masterson were nearer together, showing that there was no basis for the charge that Moore had entered into a trade with Hall. And in this connection, it has been closed, since the election, that a Negro on William paid $50 and put on the Republican payroll at $25 weekly to work in the 6th election district against Moore and in the interest of Grenhald and Masterson. Another Negro captain, distributing Moore literature, charges that he 'put some of the printed matter into his hands, but when he returned to the scpee, the found William had entered into an ash barret, saying that he was useless to distribute the literature in that section as Moore did not have a chance. The Committee Meeting: The other worker went to the jail and retrieved the discarded matter. Notwithstanding this, Moore settled the 6th district, as did Hall. At the meeting of the Republican County Committee of the 19th A. D., on Wednesday evening, February 29, at Central Republic Club, the body confirmed the petition of Rev. Richard M. Baldwin and Mrs. Christine Murray, associate and alternate, respective, to the Republican National Convention and renamed Assistant General Counsel and the State American as member of the State Republican Committee. Notwithstanding that the colored members are largely in the majority in this committee a lack of leadership may only be enabled Leader Greenwald to say that he prefers a program. But he was also able to yearn, through some mutual and, unpredictable actions, the leader, and his group, to be more involved and it was only after such had been sent out to round up other members, and after a number of conferences, that the meeting was called to order. at 9:45 p. m. And then, contrary to the global custom, Grenhal omitted the preliminary announcements concerning his military seriously that he had called the Rev. Bolden on the phone and notified him of his (Bolden's) selection as a delegate to the National Convention in June in Kansas. He also Bolden another engagement, the leader introduced him to the meeting. Bolden For White Leader. The Rev. Mr. Bolden proceeded to sweat, feally to white leadership as exemplified in the Grenthal regime, telling of the phone call which had informed him that the white leaders had agreed on his selection, which he had agreed to. He then gave a greet, a conference with Grenthal until this meeting; that his selection had no strings to it; that he did not really care for the nomination if any one else wanted it, but that he appreciated the high honor shown, him, by the white leaders. elogizing, the administration of Leader Grenthal, the Rev. Mr. Bolden waxed, eloquent; and declared he would rather see Grenhal leader than any other man; that Grenhal had always been his friend, and had contributed to his church; that he (Bolden) is no beggar, having a little church to attend, and that he was a Republican and would not enter any combination to do hurt to Grenhal; and that he firmly beaved in white leadership as against black or Negro leadership. Lacked Leadership. The lack of leadership on part of members of the committee who are in favor of recognizing the Negro's strength as a voting group in Harlem was shown in their inability even to get in the nomination of their candidate. It had been the committee's name of Edward M. Gallard, a reputable and qualified citizen, but the (female) machinery, in the absence of an opposition leader, forestalled the plan. There is what appears to be a simple substitution of the charge that many of the white leaders simply "maintail" voting residence and that "residence elsewhere, and that most of them are holding political jobs." And Grenthal himself really lives outside of the district. In his conference with Col. Fillmore, Grenthal is also alleged to have made the claim that Alderman Moore's campaign was financed by the Renthal family. Moore forces had conducted a big torchlight parade, with muskets and banners, and that a big van carried pictures of Moore, but none of Grenthal. To Demand Accounting This is firmly denied by the Moore forces and Alderman Moore is determined to call Greenthal to account for his reported assertions, including the charges 'that a trade was made, and that the organization financed his campaign. As to the parade, there were no pictures of any sort displayed, it is reported by those in charge, and not only was Greenthal invited to participate, but the parade waited ten or fifteen minutes in front of the club, with a seat saved for the leader and Assemblyman. During that time, Greenthal failed to put on a parade, and the club was found by those who entered the building to escort him to the car which awaited him. Considerable speculation is being indulged in as to what will be 'the attitude of the County leaders toward what is termed the efforty of Grenthal's actions'. It is freely 'said by interested citizens that the Negro, as a majority body, is entitled to and should have, she leadership in its district, and that such a leader, as is now in power, against whom charges of vindictiveness and lack of political honor are said to be, is laid, is not a safe manager of party affairs. Secretary Hoover Approves National Survey Of Business Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Indigestion of the national survey of Negro business now being conducted by the National Negro Business League was expressed by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover in a letter to Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the League, received here this week. The survey will discuss the best concerning the status and condition of business among Negroes. "A survey of the strong and weak points in the methods of doing business" Secretary Hoover states, "should result in the elimination of time经济学" practice of doing business upon which Hoover cares upon such activities which are best adapted to the Negro-race." The Department of Commerce is cooperating with the Business League in the conduct of the survey. Frank M. Surface, assistant director of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, is the Chairman, St. Bernard, director of the Census Bureau, are members of the advisory committee directing the survey. 3 White Bandits Rob Lafayette Theatre Detectives from the 16th Precinct are still looking for three white men who paid their way into the Lafayette Theatre, 132nd street and Seventh avenue, walked into the manager's office in the rear of the auditorium soon after the clock on Thursday night, Marian and Jackson, two companies while they took $700 from the safe. When Bernard L. Burt, the manager, his wife, and Albert Jackson and Calvin Warren, two colored employees, had been herded together at the point of revolvers, one of the trio went to guard at the door of the doors, one of the other two ordered Burt to open the safe. He said he hadn't the combination to the inner compartment and was being beaten about the head with a revolver but when Ethel Carrington, ticket seller and assistant, came in. She had the inner compartment and opened one and the thieves took $700 from the safe; $2 from Burt and $5 from Jackson. They walked out and got away before an alarm could be given. Had they arrived an hour earlier their haul would have been $1,700, as the cast of the revue had just been paid off.

Wallace Townsend, 'Lily-White Leader, Applicant For Bench, Is Expected To President By Scipio A. Jones of Little Rock By RIENZI B. LEMUS Washington, D. C.—Scipio A. Jones, great lawyer and greater race man of Little Rock, Ark., labord not in vain here late last fall to block appointment of a 'lilywhite' Republican as U. S. Judge for Arkansas. Pres. Coolidge, assisted by Senate Democrats, "lammed" the Arkansas "lilies" right in the eye when the President appointed to, and the Senate immediately confirmed for, the vacant Judgeship, Gov. John E. Martineau, Democrat, of Arkansas. Judge Martineau is a friend of Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who seems to have discovered in the former governor an able executive during the period of last spring when the Arkansas and White Rivers flooded the plate without regard to either namesake of state or color, and from the Negro viewpoint appointment is regarded as a significant victory on the ground that Martineau as governor was bad the "lily-white" Republican candidate was and is immeasurably worse. The daily press attempts to give Secretary Hoover and Senator Robbins of Arkansas, Democratic leader of the Senate, full credit for the Martineau appointment insofar as the matter of selection goes this is probably true. In making the place available, however, full credit cannot be denied Scipio Africans. Jones, who in his submission to President Coolidge "Lily-Whites" At Sea. Arkansas. Repubblicans, are wholly "illy-white," but seem unable to account for: President Coolidge's selection of a Democrat in preference to their leader, Wallace Townsend. This "reaction," however, is wholly pretended for Scipio Jones, who fought Townsend's leadership, and exposed his holdings of holding conventions, etc. of the "illy-white" where Negroes were barred ipso facto, came to Washington early in last November and, never left until he had thoroughly organized formidable "opposition" to Mr. Townsend's far-fetched candidacy. Mr. Jones was forced to leave softer than he intended to by ill-timed death of his friend, Bishop M. Ross of the A. M. Ch. Church, Mr. Jones left Bishop Ross in Arkansas when he came to his ul- 'NUMBERS' BANKS HIT HARD AS 333 IS WINNING SLIP New York Banker Is Hit For $11,000 On Plays From One to 10 Cts. When the figures showing transactions of the New York Clearing House were printed in the early editions of Saturday afternoon papers on March 3, there was consternation in the ranks of the "numbers" bankers and their runners, for the winning combination proved it was 333 to this same "333" which was written on many a slip of paper and handed to the "numbers" collectors on Friday afternoon and early Saturday morning, accompanied by sums ranging from one cent up to fifty or seventy-five cents, with a few exceptional plays amounting to a dollar or more. The players, on this showing, were entitled to thousands of dollars, the odds being $6 to one cent. Did they do it? It is said not. One well known banker, operating largely in the speakasies and hooch joints of Harlem, is reported to have said Saturday morning that if he paid off his "333" slip, it would total about $11,000. Asked if he intended meeting his obligation and giving the players a square-heel, he said that there was a rumor to the effect that certain bankers were in cabbots with some of the policemen—and that in this way there had been a leakage which resulted in this heavy play. 10c. Biggest Play. Incidentally, this banker said that notwithstanding, the big loss he faced, his largest slip only called for a ten cent play. Netting the player $40, less 10 percent. Reports from other cities indicate that if there was a Clearing House, leak it was generally dig- timely successful fight against Townsend. Jenna Doestivas The Credit. The daily press attempts to give Secretary Hoover and Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader of the Senate, full credit for the Marineman appointment. Insofar as the matter of selection goes this is probably true. In making the place available, however, full credit cannot be denied Seipio Africans, Jones, who in his submission to President Coolidge, after furnishing Townsend's American record in relation to a half-million migro Americans of African descent, kept that she would not do justice to his fellows, cannot admit further justice between and among them. Mr. Jones' great work in keeping out Townsend and thus paving the way for a Democratic judicial selection by a Republican President, closely parallels the naming of Federal Judge Jones, Democrat, of Alabama, by Booker T. Washington through President Roosevelt over a quarter of a century ago, and it is to be hoped that Judge Martineau, like the late Judge Jones, will never give reasonable cause of regret for the conditions precedent to his appointment. Judge Martineau succeeds to the vacancy left by the death, of Judge Treiber, whom Mr. Jones, regarded as upright and just. GOVERNOR BIBB SAVES MAN FROM DEATH SENTENCE Negro, Forced By White Man To Kill, Wins Leniency Montgomery, Ala.-That justice does not always go airway where the rights of Negroes are concerned has been clearly demonstrated here by the action of Governor Bibb Graves in saving the life of Hayes Leonard colored convicted of a part in the murder of Judge Lamar Smith of Wetumpka. Leonard, who confessed the crime, was sentenced to death, but on the eve of his execution the Governor commited his sentence to life imprisonment. Meantime Clyde Bachelor, Leonard's white brother, was convicted jointly with him for the crime, went to the electric chair some weeks ago. Bachelor confessed that he had forced Leonard to fire the fatal shot, and in consequence a number of prominent white people. Including representatives of the Commission, united in a request for clemency for Leonard. The Pardon Board declined to recommend the commutation, but the Governor took the matter in his own hands and saved the Negro's life, tributed, from several cities comes the report that players had made a run on "333." In Atlantic City, it is reported, the players followed a popular hunch, based on Saturday being the third day of the third month and coming right after Friday, and that the bankers had been hit for more than $100,000. At the same time the police force is making an active crusade against the "numbers-operators" and Sundays of the biggishers in the city, a Greek cigar store proprietor. Similar reports come from Boston and Philadelphia. Villard Erases Color Line For Baltimore Dinner In His Honor (Special to The New York Age) *Baltimore, Md.-Mid-Friday, March 9* a dinner will be given here in honor of *Oswald Garrison* Villard's tenth anniversary as editor of *The Nation; and there will be absolutely no color line drawn for the event.* Plans were badly complicated when it developed that the Southbury Hotel, a place where the celebration was to take place in honor of the grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, noted abolitionist, and vice-president of the National Association for the abolition of slavery, served notice that Negroes would not be admitted or served. Whea Villard learned that the Southern Hotel had objected to serving colored, be. wired, the committee in charge of the affair that colored persons were excluded.

Cop and Two Negroes Held In $3,000 For Grand Jury By Court Patrolman Jeremiah O'Donnell of the West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street station and two Negroes were held in $3,000 bail each for grand jury action by Magistrate Berard J. Dhoas in Harlem Court when they received examination on a charge bequested by Master of 85 Columbus avenue, propriator of a restaurant at 341 Lenox avenue O'Donnell, who is 30, was charged with attempted extortion, and the Negroes with acting in concert with him, were adjourned to Wilson, of West 129th street, and Hard Randall, 30 of 100 West 14th street. Wexler charged that the trio entered hit restaurant on February 20 and demanded $50, under threat of arrest for violation of the prohibition law. Gave Wrong Address In-a story printed in last week's issue of The Age, concerning the arrest of a white patrolman and two negroes on a roadside, two extinct negroes, the address of one of the Negroes, Jason Wilson, was given at 133 West 132nd street. This was an error, as that address is the private home of Mrs. Lontinez and there is no person such as Wilson known to any of the inmates. South African Mob On Lynching Revel Pitermartiburg, Nezal, South Africa. After, after, the attempt to lynch three native prisoners was frustrated, a mob on March 1 fired buildings in Greytown and Krantzko. The three natives were arrested for the recent wholesale destruction of tombstones at Greytown and an anti-native demonstration was staged by other residents. Almost the entire population of the place assembled outside the Town Hall bent on storming the jail and lynching the natives. Police, however, succeeded in smuggling the prisoners. In being foiled the mob burned the Greytown offices of the Industrial Commercial Workers Union, a native labor organization. Many then motorized to Krantzko, where they also burned the union's offices. Special police were drafted at Greytown as a precautionary measure.

The 'niggers' get nothing except what the white people give them. These 'niggers' talk about the white people, but the white people make them. What I get comes from the whites and I am not foolish enough to try fighting them. They made me, they made Fred Moore, and they made all the rest of the 'niggers." A number of the leading ministers of New York City and vicinity have shown their interest in the matter of Negro political leadership in Harlem, in accordance with news articles and editorial published in The New York Age in its last two issues by making formal statements as to their attitude toward the race leadership demand. Among the group's leaders of Harlem's largest and most influential churches, and their express in unquestioned words, the opinion that the Negro majority in Harlem's political activities should receive due and entitled recognition. With one notable exception, this opinion is the unanimous expression of those ministers who have made statements. The one, exception, the Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden, pastor of the First, Emmannel Church, 105 West, 103th street, has been named by Assemblyman Greenthal, present Republican leader of the 19th Assembly District, as delegate to the National, Republican Convention in Kansas City next June. The代表大会 will be Bolden, in talking to a representative of the Age, is given in box at top of this column. Statements from other Harlem ministers, all of whom strongly approve The Age's demand for Negro leadership, are given below. FROM · BAPTISTS The Rev. A. Clavon Powell Pastor Abbasiani Baptist Church West 135th Street I do not believe in either white or colored bosses. The World War put an end to the boss. The spirit of Democracy is everywhere and Democracy insistently calls for a sane and intelligent leadership man and or group of men who govern Harlem, place without the consent of the governed. The most unselfish and otherwise best outlived man should lead in Harlem, regardless of his racial identity, provided he has the approval and support of the majority of his fellow-citizens. Other things being equal, the colored man seems to have the clearest title to political leadership in this great Negro center. In Harlem, the Negro is the religious and social leader. By what rule of logic then, is he barred from not being a Negro? If the Negro doesn't now make a fresh and insistent demand for leadership in Harlem, where there are more intelligent colored people than can be found in any other spot on earth, pray tell me, when and where will be make such a demand? The Rev. George H. Sims Pastor Union Baptist Church 240-252 West 145th Street Harlem is a city within a City. This section of the great Metronolis is inhabited almost entirely Negroes. Here one can find Negro lawyers and the Negro lawyers, various lines of business, as well as other professions. The main idea that stirred the Colonies to revolt against the mother country, was REPRESENTATION When the country was united into a strong union under the name of the United States, it was decided that it should be representative government of the people for the people and by the people. Since this is the principle of our country, this large population of Negroes, in Harlem should be represented by men of the race in both the local and national government. We need Negro Political Lead ers in Harlem. We are appointed think charge of our politics at Trask. We have men of the race who are just as efficient as the men of the white race. Let us therefore, contend for representation and leadership for the race by men of the race. The Rev. Wm. P. Hayes Pastor Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Lenox Avenue at 120th Street. I, along with all right thinking Negroes, am keenly interested in every issue that hvitally affects us as a group. The issue you raise, that of political leadership in Harlem districts where Negroes are in the majority, is one which warrants our closest scrutiny. Personally, I am committed to the policy of cooperation in politics precisely as I am committed to this policy in education, in religion, etc. But I do not subscribe to a policy of cooperation which denies to our people the right to vote. It is to be reinstated that some of our white friends still harbor the ancient delusion that Negroes are political nurseries whose welfare must be safe-guarded by white leaders. I think the time has come when self-respecting Negroes should demand relief from All forms of leadership imposed from white leaders. I may, then let us agree to cooperate with our white political friends, but let us at the same time take a firm stand, against any form of political domination. The Rev. H. A. Booker Pastor St. Paul Baptist Church 353 West 35th Street I am sending herewith my personal views on the matter of Negro political leadership in the district. Having read the editorials in the Age, the comments thereon by different ones, and, also, the expressions of influential citizens, I wish to state, most emphatically that I am in heartless accord with the idea of Negro political leadership for Negro citizens in Harlem. The time is past when Negroes need a white person to lead them and their children. The Negroes are demonstrating daily their ability to lead their own race. The election of Hon. Fred R. Moore as Alderman is a demonstration, not only of Negroes' strength politically, but evidence of the fact that Negroes recognize and appreciate real leaders. What is needed is that Negroes take their personal interest in the district, and also their personal interests, come together as a body, and give their united support to those of their own race who prove themselves to be real leaders. FROM PRESBYTERIANS The Rev. Wm Lloyd Ims Pastor St James Presbyterian Church. St. Nicholas Avenue and 141st St. As I understand it, this question is not narrowly or selfishly one of seeking to exalt race apart from fitness. I believe in racial education. I believe in truthful. For instance, I believe in our political representatives. A Prize Winner in Every City THIS big contest to select the 1928 Nelson Girl is now under way. Send us your photograph and your letter.

NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING we were elected to office. Alice was elected to a different election. We did not believe we were in our state, and we did [because we have faith in the worthy men, who they were good men, thousands of us don't have, supported them, we could not have, consciously do so. Regarding other races that seek to impose their political leadership on us, we reest it when it is done with boastfulness and with the desire to control us as pawns. We will support leaders of other races that they work with us and feel responsibility to us. We will however, support them to the extent that we own them, they feel that we will need our support to give them support just for petty favors they may hand out as brides they have another thought coming. Here is a new spirit in the Negro art today. We are far from persecute in our political actions, but we are beginning to demand justice and fairplay from both our own leaders and leaders of other races whom we support. When we must have learned to do this fully the day will dawn for our race. FROM A. M. E. ZION The Rev. J. W. Brown Pastor M.A. M. E. Zion Church, West 137th Street. Since the close of the World's War, there has been a great awakening and an ever increasing race between the two peoples whose government has been in the hands of others. We have observed this awakening in India, in Africa, in China, in Korea, in Latin America, etc. This spirit of democracy and self-determination has not only manifested itself in the affairs of the state but in the Church—so much so that the Foreign Missionary Boards of the greatly change their program of service to five leaders, for various groups are demanding their own leadership. Therefore, it is quite natural that the Negroes in America would have the same awakening and desire. This is the result of increasing intelligence and wealth, and, wherever they constitute the majority, certainly they should have much to say concerning their government. In the larger centres like Chicago and New York, it is right and fitting that these groups should have their own leadership and something to say in the selection of that leadership. The Negro has proven his ability in the leadership of his church and with the opportunity given, he could furnish efficient leadership in the state. His property holdings are yearly increasing, which means that he is paying more money in taxes for the support of the state. And we learned long since that "exclusion without representation is tyranny." I am for Negro leadership. PROM CONGREGATIONALIST The Rev. A. C. Garner Pastor Grace Church of Harlem West 139th Stort I think you have struck the keynote to all future success as that success relates to our group in Harlem. It has long been noticed that we fail in all our efforts by refusing to pool our interests in our own behalf. I heartily congratulate you upon operative and I trust that you may see point and end if we do and will follow the lead that you have opened we shall see a new day in Harlem, for in the final analysis, leadership and cooperation are the key words to all our needs. The Rev. George W. Hinton Pastor Corona Congregational Church, Corona, L. L. During my seventeen years in public life in the Greater City of New York, I have always advocated and supported colored leadership. In this dry of civic and political opportunities, all Negroes should stand together solidly for the rights of their people, will do more to inspire the youth of our city than taking such a stand.

In addition, to these phrases, outspoken opinions from clarifying The Age, elder has received a letter from Mrs. Margaret Houston, showing that the woman of the community are wide-awake, to race needs and are not afraid to come out in the open. Mrs. Houston writes as follows: "The people in Harlem should all be proud we have in the community a paper like The New York Age. The hold stand it takes on public questions, the fearless manner in which it adhere firmly to principle, caring naught about interest, caring naught about it, is worthy of praise. To me The Ape is like a watchman on the wall in the days of old, ever on the alert to sound a clarion note of warning to the people whenever danger approaches, and from its high eminence to observe and give appropriate expression to the people, to perceive that which is the public sentiment or concensus of public opinion. To you, I say keep up the fight you are making for Negro leadership until you have driven the job-seeking, job-holding Negro political parasite out of Harlem, for they are out of step with the times. You are still in the shorthair ship of white political bossism. Theirs is a stupid-watchful waiting for the crumbs which fall from the bosses' table. It is an "I done been what I done been gwine" attitude, told so amusingly by the late Dr. Washington. Their following of a white leadership is as perfect as it is humanly possible to be held in mind, in them in mind, in them in common, so much so, they may be properly designated as the hat in hand distributors of political bunk for white leaders. "The old, old story," in politics is a thing of the past. The day is no more when men and women of intelligence will be content to close their eyes, open their eyes and swain their comites and political junk served them in the past by pliering, white leaders. The voters of Harlem are demanding a square deal, or let parly pledge and party integrity be relegated to the garbage can.

ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association This is the season—from January to July—when measles is at its height. Parents should keep their children from all contact with the disease, if possible. Certainly keep them away from all contact with children whom you know have measles. Measles in itself is not especially serious, but it may become very grave, indeed, if complications arise. In the course of the disease pneumonia, disease of the ears, tuberculosis and other serious ailment, may develop and moreover may re-attract more than a thousand children from this area, ing an epidemic in New York City, and every other year is an epidemic year. The disease is more serious in children under six. If possible, keep your child from having it, certain, try to safeguard him, from it unit, be in six years or older, your child should contract the disease, give him good care. Wear for the symptoms If you know the child has been exposed. They are much like those of a common cold; a slight fever, running, nose, watering eyes that are sensitive to light, and a loose cough. Put the child to bed and call a doctor, if you notice these symptoms. Doctor's instructions carefully. With good care, the disease usually proves to be mild. Give your child good care and protect his health. "BETTER BABIES" By Dr. ALONZO deG. SMITH Language is a means of transmitting thought and feeling. It is the medium also of arguing thought, feeling and action. In the beginning it is probable that the child does not hear words as in the case with sound, just as in the case with sound in real foreign language. We "hear" sounds. There is a method of language training which depends mainly upon sound and, secondarily, upon the eye, that is the printed word. So certain sounds mean certain things to the infant. "Pretty baby" may result in a smile or a coo from the infant if it hates that sound before from the mother, said in soft voice, but the same spoken gruffly will provoke a terrified wall. Will it it? It is of interest in this connection to recall that inflection, that is differences New The Comm of ANNOU draw in month. NEW I the Common of ANNOUNC that draw inter- month.

In the second year children learn the use and significance of adjectives—things, usually, foods, are either good or bad, nies or sweet, hot or cold. It appears that of adverbse "here" is learned first, and after this "whore". A little boy on being asked whether he had been to a number of places replied, "We been to lots of where". Adverbial difficulty for I, me, him, his, you and your, may all refer to the same individual. "This is me" is often used by adults with seeming psychological justification. The French, for example, do say this is me—best moll! Perhaps most improper plurals as for men, gooes for gese, tooths for teeth, or mouses for mice. Verb infections present difficulty also. We recall the "sang-bang" method of recitation of years ago. With the non-associating verb with the action of singing, plurals, sang, sang should be followed by dig, dag, dug. It pleases the parent's vanity to continue the stage of "baby talk," but it does the child immeasurable harm. For when he has to talk or play or communicate with those of his own, he can make him understand or what is worse for his self pride, he is made the object of ridicule by other children. This may tend to make him self-conscious and unsocial and thus influence his future life. "Baby talk" should be discontinued after the child is a year old. New Officers Elected By G. O. at Junior High The campaign for election to the office of president, vice president and secretary of the G. O. of the Frederick Doughes Junior High School culminated in an exciting balloting with the following results: Announcement of the results of the halloting was made in the school assembly by Mr. Gold, followed by the introduction of the successful candidates by Mr. Deegan.

Church, will succeed to the leadership of the New York Annual Conference by virtue of the death of Dr. Henry. Kohn Spearman, the late pastor of Bethel Church, New York City. Dr. Tyler, when seen by a reporter for The Age, was still so overwhelmed by the death of Dr. Spearman, who had been one of his close friends for fourteen years, that he did not want to discuss the leadership, state that he would not use his leadership for any personal advancement but for the best interests of the A. M. E. Church. He is regarded as one of the intellectual giants of his communion, having received, degrees by virtue of study from some of the most distinguished men in the church, is considered one of the church's best preachers and executives.

L. FOSTER, Manager One such instance was that of of an old woman, familiarly known as "Aunt Charlotte," who had become a house-to-house beggar. This woman had been doing house work by the day until last fall when rheumatism made it impossible for her to get about very well. The little money she had soon disappeared and she began begging it so difficult to get around the from neighbors. Finally she found streets, she would go to a person's house and demand that they take her in for the night. After telling her story, the person usually gave her shelter and food for at least one day. No Bath-In 3 Years. It was in this way that, after she became acquainted with Sister Minne. After giving her a home and food for several days, Sister Minne attempted to give her a bath and clean clothes. The old woman refused to be bathed and declared she would scream "murder" if any water was put on her. She confessed that she had not had a bath in three years. She finally consented to go to Harlem Hospital, and will be given a home on Welfare Island. A case somewhat similar was that of a Mrs. Ella Jones, who had been on Welfare Island, but had induced a relative to secure her release on the promise that this relative would take care of her. But soon after her release the old woman's mind became unbalanced and she ran away. She suffered from the hallucination that everyone was trying to rob her. Several people gave her shelter but she returned their kindness by accusing them of robbery. Sent To Bellevue. Finally she came to Sister, Minnie, who looked up her relatives and learned her real condition. She was committed to Bellevue Hospital for observation and later sent to the Manhattan Hospital for the Insane. Many Harlemites will remember Mrs. Mary White, an old lady more than 80 years of age, who used to sell Negro newspapers about the streets of Harlem until an automobile ran her down and broke her leg about two years ago. She was at the Welfare Island Hospital for a short while, but her daughter took her out and gave her a home. But recently the daughter has been out of work and both are now in a destitute condition. deserving 'poor' and friendless among the Negroes of New York than at the present time, says 'Sister Minnie.' Surprise Birthday Party Marked Anniversary Of President Jones' Mother Greensboro, N. C.-Delightful in appointment and altogether artistic in detail, was the surprise dinner given by Mrs. Susie Jones, the talented wife and valuable helpmate of President David Dallas Jones of Bennett College for Women, on the anniversary birthday (March 1) of her husband's mother, who died about four years ago. The surprise part of the entertainment, however was to her husband, President Jones, who was kept in ignorance of his wife's intentions until the guests began to arrive about six o'clock on Thursday evening. The mother, the late Mary Mary Jennie Jones, wife of the late Dallas Jones, a prominent citizen, in his day, of this community, was a remarkable woman. As a result of this union there were four daughters and two sons. The elder of the latter, Robert E., is the first colored man to be elevated to the Board of Bishops in the history of the great Methodist Episcopal church. His brother, David Dallas, is the first colored man to be elected to the presidency of a woman's college, under the auspices of the same church. Two of the four daughters are living: Mrs. Minnie Gilmer and Mrs. Jessie Whitfield. The latter's husband is dead. The former is the wife of Capt. David J. Gilmer, who after serving in The Spanish-American War and subsequently eight years as a scout in the U. S. Army in the Philipine Islands, retired and is now one of Greensboros' leading business men and the editor of The Watchman and Messenger. Those who were privileged to be the guests of Mrs. Jones and her husband on this eventful occasion were a few persons who were considered close, life-long friends of the deceased, in memory of whom they were, inyited. The guests were Mesdames Jane, Sloan, Salille M. M. with Donnell, Minnie Nelson, M. M. with Joseph Nelson, Minnie Gilmer, Jessie Whitfield, Anderson Nelson and Charles H. Gilmer. joyed by those present. In the meantime the evening was pleasantly spent by different ones narrating some interesting reminiscences, which the occasion doubtless inspired. Court Decisions Favor Pullman Brotherhood According to Henry T. Hunt, Donald R. Richbert and Frank P. Walsh, counsel for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the recent court decisions, namely, the District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and the Supreme Court of New York State, on the company union, have greatly reinforced and fortified the position of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in its fight to secure recognition, a living wage, the 240-hour work month, and better working conditions. Federal Judge J. C. Hutcheson in the case of the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employees, Southern Pacific Mines in Texas and Louisiana et al, vs. Texas and New Orleans Railroad Company et al, handed down a decision ordering the imminent release of three officials of the railroads found guilty of court for alleged defiance of an injunction granted the Brotherhood of Railway Steamship Clerks last August. A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, declares that the above cited case is on all fours with the Pullman porters' union fight. He says that action to compel the Pullman Company to abide by the provisions of the Railway Labor Act will be started by the Brotherhood. The precedent in the Texas case materially strengthens the grounds upon which the porters' union will rest its case. General Organizer Randolph also points out that the recent decision of Supreme Court Justice Saservowel, denying the Internoy Rapid Transit Company petition for an injunction against the American Federation of Labor to prevent it from organizing the employees of the company, was another great victory of organized labor over the autocratic company union. Farmer's Conference At Gibbons Institute Ridge, Md.—The Farmers' Conference, on February 22, was a busy occasion at Cardinal Gibbons Institute. Three boys, Samuel Coates, James Bennett and Harry Thompson, gave a one-act play of farm life, "Giddap," written by Arthur Floyd of the Tuskegee faculty. Then Dr Atherthon of the University of Maryland talked on hog cholera, giving means of prevention, declaring there is no cure. Mr. Washen, county agent, spoke on the subject, which includes a meeting next month to discuss tobacco culture. Capt. Collison, a neighboring white farmer, and Ignatius Thomas of Bushwood discussed tobacco growing. Principal Victor Daniel introduced Father Thibbits, pastor of St. Peter Claver's Church, Ridge, and chaplain of the institute, who made a stirring speech concerning the school work. Mrs. Daniel reviewed health campaigns of previous years. Arrangements were announced for group meetings in various communities on Sundays in March. The students sang a number of Spirituals, most of them bearing on the lenten season. Exhibits from the home economics department attracted much attention, as did fine pigs and a calf sired by the institute's pure-bred Holstein Secretary of Interior Hubert Work Has Denied Request For Abolishment Of Segregation In General Land Office Bill Before Congress Aimed at Recorder of Deeds Office, Where Recorder Froe Holds Firmly Against Racial Discrimination Washington, D.C. At about time that the Negro press was broadcasting the "inferior" rating given by the socalled U.-S. Bureau of Efficiency to Recorder of Deeds, Arthur G. Froe, the only major Federal office holder here who stands—a veritable 'last of the Mohicans'—against the encroaching wave of racial segregation at the Nation's capitol, Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work told Neval H. Thomas in effect that segregation will not be abolished in the Interior Department's General Land Office, where it has been fostered by the Commissioner, former Gov. Spry of Utah, like his chief, Secretary Work, a Republican Mr. Froe, a successful West Virginia lawyer, who has applied his legal training and experience to the conduct of the office of Recorder of Deeds, may be "inefficient" within the purview of the already slated for the trash pile "Bureau of Deficiency." He nevertheless is super-efficient in keeping the vicious governmental segregation practices out of his office, where more than 100 persons of both-or several-races are employed. And in this particular he stands alone; on which, perhaps, hangs a sale. At least there are some unusually striking coincidences! Race Woman Supervisor For instance, among the section chiefs at the Recorder of Deed's office is a young colored woman who supervises and directs about 14 clerks, mostly non-African of extraction.

He was threatened with eviction; pressure was brought to bear; he remained adamant; the rent was not paid-until the lessor agreed to make repairs demanded by Mr. Free. Then came the Bill in Congress to place the Recorder's office within the jurisdiction of the District Commissioners. It was reported out by the Senate-District Committee, chairmaned by Capper of Kansas, but was "lost is the shuffle!" "Efficiency" Survey Next came the Bureau of Efficiency to make a "survey" of the Office. This most severely criticised of the government bureaucracy is well dubbed "Bureau of Deficiency," and as Bill to abolish R is now before the Congress. Hence, to give space to its controversy with the Recorder of Deeds would be superfluous. Nevertheless, it made recommendations in respect to changes in office methods, etc. Some Free declined to consider; others he accepted, or consented to install. The "deficiency" experts came back and, not finding all changes made, gave the office an "inferior" rating. In this connection, all visitors to the Recorder of Deeds building cannot forget the pride and enthusiasm which characterizes the Second Deputy Recorder's (Mr. Coage) explanation of his newly instilled electric typewriters, adding-substracting—multiplying, machi- So another Bill to turn over the Recorder's Office to the District Commissioners is before the Congress. It was offered by Congressman "imcrow" Zihlman of Maryland, chairman of the House District Committee. Congressman Holaday of Illinois "attacked, the Recorder of Deeds most vigorously and to prove that there was no "colorness" about it he, white still on his feet, just as vigorously condemned the (white) very efficient Superintendent of Schools, Dr Ballou, and extravagantly praised the equally efficient, but oft-knocked" colored assistant superintendent of Schools, Dr. Garnett Wilkerson. The obviousness of coincidence was too patent, however, to avoid the conclusion that the administrative segregationists are tearing at the last barrier to their "100 per centing" of the Government departments with vicious, racial segregation! Arthur Troe is the barrier Was Work Badly Advised? As for Secretary Work's rejection of Neval Thomas' demand for wiping out segregation in the General Land Office: The late Henry Lincoln Johnson found Dr. Work so fair while Postmaster'General in the Harding regime until Mr. Johnson termed Work the "sweet man". It was not difficult for Mr. Thomas to destroy segregation in the Pension Bureau, also of the Interior department, Hitherto, Dr. Work has been well regarded by the brother. Moreover, it is hard to believe that so experienced a politician as is the Interior Secretary would take such a stand on the eve of a presidential campaign, especially when he is the potential chairman of the next Republican National Committee, and the recognized leader of Secretary Hoover's presidential booster-managers. In short, this writer is obsessed with the conviction that Dr Work was advised by some *Negro* or Negroes whom he consulted before his final reply IN THE NEGATIVE to the demands of the dynamic, uncompromising for of segregationist president* Washington Branch of the N. A. A. C. P.—some person or persons of color whom Dr. Work GET IN THE MONEY BAG CONTEST 600 PRIZES EACH WEEK SPECIAL SALE ENTIRE MONTH believed competent to advise him authoritatively And there are many Negroes, too many, who could conscientiously stand up for this sort of segregation. 'A palliating feature of the whole situation however, is that incomparably more persons—all white—are concerned with 'transferring the "Bureau of Deficiency" to oblivion than with transfer of the Recorder of Deeds office to the District Commissioners, who seem to covet it. John Morrow Wins Honors At Rutgers University Hackensack, N. J.-John Howard Morrow, the eighteen year-old son of Rev. and Mrs, J. E. Morrow of 252 Berry street, this city, was recently notified that he had been named for the honor school of Rutger University. To be appointed to this school signifies that the student has obtained a rating of A or B in all subjects for the semester. Special privileges are accorded these students and they are in line for scholarship honors. John graduated from the Hackensask High School in June, 1927. He was on the honor roll at that institution and was encouraged by the principal and his instructors to take the scholarship examinations for Rutgers. These he passed successfully and entered there last fall. His paternal grandfather, Rev. John Samuel Morrow of North Wilkesboro, N. C., was a teacher and a preacher during the days of the Reconstruction era. Rev. Morrow, one of the most widely known educators of the South, is still helping to shape the destiny of his people, although over eighty years of age. A Dangerous Condition "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt aluggiah and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel, O. K. again. "I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid." 25 cents.

Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT for Constipation Indigestion, Biliousness MOVE TO SECURE MONARCH BAND 45 SUMMER CONCERTS Citizens Committee To Act In Securing Needed Funds Harlem citizens are bestirring themselves to raise the funds necessary to secure the series of free open-air concerts during the summer months to signalize the establishment of the splendid Monarch Band 45 under Lieut. Fred W. Simpson as a community organization, in accordance with the plan told of in last week's issue of The Age. An example of the interest being shown is seen in a letter received from Mr. and Mrs. Gordy of 45 West 1838 street, who were interested in the auditors of the Monarch Band's concert at Sunday afternoon concert in the auditorium of the Harriet Beecher Stowe Junior High School at Edgecombe avenue and 135th street on Sunday, February 26. At that time, in response to the appeal made by Alderman Fred R. Moore, the Gordy's pledged $5 towards the fund, but when their letter was received it contained $10, making their contribution $5 each. They wrote as follows: "Lieut. Fred Simpson: "We consider it a golden opportunity, as well as a great pleasure and delight in enclosing two five dollar bills in order to help your cover your air-conditioner the special benefit of the colored people of Harlem, including ourselves." Greensboro, N. C.—At the Student Volunteer Convention, she held at Duke University; Durham, N. C., a Negro girl; Margo Simpson, was elected to the Student Volunteer Convention. This is the first time in the history of the Student Volunteer of North Carolina that a Negro woman has been thus honored. Miss Simpson was elected secretary of the colored- group of the Conference, and later elected to the executive committee. She is a Sophomore at Bennett College for Women and is a member of the Student Council of the Y. W. C. A. Other representatives from Bennett, were Nina Nina Roberts who represented the faculty, Mila Alma Tarpley, Miss Nellie Artie and Miss Barbara Johnson. The death of Mrs. Pauline A. Thompson, wife, of George A. Thompson, of 220 West 134th street, which occurred on Saturday night at 10:50 o'clock, came as shock to her family and friends. Mrs. Thompson suffered injury from burns on Sunday, February 26, when, on returning to her home after attending church, she overturned an oil heater, the flame setting fire to her dress. Her burns, while painful, were not thought to be serious, and she was taken to Harlem Hospital for treatment, and it was in this institution that she died. It is believed that she must have swallowed some of the flame. Mrs. Thompson was the daughter of the late Eugene and Mrs. Alice Mars, one of Brooklyn's oldest and best known families, and the only surviving member of the immediate family is Mrs. Gertrude Mars Martin, widow of the late David I Martin, founder of the Martin-Smith Music School. The funeral was held Wednesday day, March 7, at 1 p.m. from ST. Phillips P. E. Church, West 130th street, the Red Hutchins building with Underaker-West C Perry in charge of the arrangements. New North Age NATIONAL MSGRO WEEKLY Based on Saturday of Pretty Week Publication, No. 230 Wort. 135th Street Telephone Broadway 0664 TENSION RATES BY MAIL PORTPAID YEAR $2.50 MONTH $2.50 MONTHS 75 COST $85 TIME FOR ONE YEAR 2.50 COUNTRY ONE YEAR 4.00 EXCLUDE MEXICAN LABOR. A phase of immigration restriction now before Congress is the proposition to shut down upon the number of Mexican workers, who now enter over the border in this country. The present quota exempts the countries bordering on the United States from any restriction on the number of immigrants. The number of Mexicans who came over the line in 1927 was estimated at over seventy-thousand, but there is some discontent as to the proportion that became permanent residents. Some official figures say that only four per cent. return home while others claim that as much twenty per cent. go back at the end of each season. Hearings have been held by the agricultural committees of both houses of Congress in order to determine what restrictions should be put upon the admission of these alien workers from Mexico. The testimony given so far indicates that the West, and especially the Southwest, want Mexican labor. The cotton growers of Southern California and Arizona claim that if this labor was shut out it would entail financial loss to the farmers and farmers. Several witnesses pointed that the wages paid to Mexican farm laborers is greater than that paid to white labor in the central West or black labor in the South. One witness claimed that Mexican labor is indispensable in the cultivation of sugar beets as they can't get any white man to crawl along on his stomach and thin beets." Congressmen from the Southwestern states are said to be divided on the proposed law to limit the admission of Mexicans on a quota basis, which would cut the number entering in, a given year to between seven and ten thousand. Representatives from other sections of the country are generally in favor of limiting the number, because they argue it is logical to prevent the entrance of European labor, while at the same time putting Mexicans without limit. Then there is the consideration as to the effect this legislation would have on our relations with Mexico. The labor group that is most largely affected by the introduction of Mexican labor is undoubtedly the Southern Negro. It is adapted both physically and by moving to the cultivation of the crops grown in the Southwest, but presumably by racial reasons the Mexican is pre-empted to the black American. It has been suggested by far-sighted expatriates of labor in the central South that Mexican peons would prove an acceptable substitute for the black workers who have migrated further North. So far as it would provide the South with another race upon which to divide its talent and its affections, the unrestricted flow of Mexicans might prove a benefit. As a student of sociology diagnosed by Southern situation, what the white South needs is a diversity of hatreds. Fortunately, for the past three hundred years it has oppressed the Negro both as slave and free, until it has established a Negro complex, compounded of equal quantities of fear and hate. With a million or more Mexicans scattered in the South and Southwest: the white South, would have something new to worry about. In the meantime the Negro should seek the beet fields of the Great Northwest where his opportunity exists both as farmer and laborer. A LOST COMMITTEE-MAN. Under the representative system of party government, each of the political parties maintains a state committee, consisting of members elected from the several districts, by the votes of the enclosed members of each party. Time was when the colored Republicans of this state had a representative in the state committee, in the person of an additional member at large, chosen by the votes of the whole committee. Although this method was not truly representative of the voters, it gave them a measure of representation in the councils of the party. The post was held at various times by such strong individual members of the race as William B. Derrick, William H. Johnson of Albany, Charles M. Berrian and Charles W. Anderson. Mr. Anderson was the last man to occupy this place of State Committee-man, when it was decided to abish the post by requiring that each member of the State Committee be elected to represent a certain district. As there was at that time no district where the colored voters were strong enough in numbers or influence to elect one of their group, their representation in party councils ceased, and they were dependent upon the friendly medium of the white leaders of the districts, in which they were located. This worked as well as could be expected, depending largely upon the disposition of the district leader, to whom they had to address their petitions. If he was fair minded and large hearted, they might be able to get a hearing-for the purpose of advancing legislation and getting a small share of patronage. But, too often after election, these leaders ignored the voters who had helped to put them in office and turned a deaf ear to their modest requests. A remedy was seen for this situation, when the colored voters began to form a majority in such districts as the nineteenth and twentyfirst. They outnumbered the whites in the delegates they sent to the county committee, and these delegates had the power to name one of their group as member of the State Committee, and by virtue of office leader of the district. There was no disposition to upset any leader who dealt fairly and squarely with his colored constituents, but it was expected that any who had failed to prove a true representative would be retired, in favor of a more adequate spokesman. The voters of the Nineteenth district had a great opportunity to elect a representative of their group as member of the State Committee, to supplant an arrogant leader who ignored their claims and sought to defeat their candidates for office. They had a young and ambitious candidate well equipped for the position and a sufficient number of votes in the meeting to nominate him for the position. But a spirit of fear and timidity, some might call it super-caution, prevented them from even naming their candidate, much less voting for him. They meekly acquiesced in the reuomination of, the white leader, who had given them the frozen mit, up to the last minute, when he thawed out sufficiently to ensure his retention of a leadership, which, he fails to square with fair dealing or loyalty to party principles. This failure of the voters to grasp the opportunity before them shows the necessity for wiser deliberation and closer getting together for aggressive action. The Age has stood for the principle of adequate Negro leadership for years, but it does not expect it to be attained without fearless speaking and aggressive action on the part of those who would win out. Leadership must be fought for and gained by the majority of votes. If we are not going to speak out in meeting, name our leaders and vote for them, we will never get them. UPSETTING ANCIENT MYTHS. As has been remarked quite often, this is an iconoclastic age, when the idols and beliefs of former times are being smashed or disputed, in an effort to show that we are wiser or weaker than our forebears. Some years ago the successor of the ambitious evangelist who once set out to convert New York City, the famous Dowie or Zowie of Zion City, challenged the college professors to prove that the earth is not flat and motionless. Voliva, the person referred to, offered a reward of one thousand dollars to anyone who would establish the rotundity of the earth and the fact that it revolves. The Truth Seeker, a Free Thought newspaper, pronounced that Voliva, Father Vaughan of London and the late William Jennings Bryan were all echoes of the Rev. John Jasper of Richmond, who affirmed that "the sun do move and the earth am square." Those who knew the late John Jasper maintained that he was a great man, who exercised a remarkable influence upon blacks and whites alike during his lifetime. His name seems to have captured a place in British scientific circles, as the most conspicuous upholder of the Biblical tradition that opposed the findings of modern scientists. It has been predicted that his name will live with those of Tyho Brache, Copernicus, Sir Isaac Newton, Sir Oliver Lodge and the Proteinies. This may sound a trifle extravagant to those who only have heard of Jasper as a colored preacher in Richmond, who at intervals preached his famous sermon on the Sun, which brought all the white folks to his church. But Jasper was a prophet of modern times who was honored even in his own home town. Whether he was supporting or opposing a myth, must be left to the judgment of his critics, fundamentalists or modernist as they may be. Another established belief as to the preference of the American Indian and Negro for red or bright and guilty colors, was recently disputed by Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. He found but little basis of fact for the commonly accepted views on color preferences. In a study of white and colored children made in the New York public schools, no difference were found in their choice of colors, and the same applied to adults. The colors most often favored by both classes of children were blue and pink. Black, brown and grey were the least popular. Negro boys were found to choose blue oftener than white boys. Pink was second choice for girls in both groups, whereas boys chose violet second and purple third. The survey negatived the popular belief that colored children have a greater tendency for bright colors than do whites. The tendency for bright cheerful colors would seem to be common to all classes of youth, as it is to the feminine sex. The men, poor things, usually indulge in bright, colors in their neckties and hose, although of late there has been a tendency toward sweaters of variegated designs and striking color blends. It is not bad to add a little color to a world that is at times too drab for good cheer. If the ancient myths must go, we should look for something better in their place. So, it may be well to hold on to George Washington and his hatchet Santa Claus and his reindeer. Little Red Riding Hood and other bits of historic color, for a while longer. OBJECT LESSON IN POISONS One day last week, a New York physician who is a member of the present congress, stood at this desk and set forth an impressive array of bottles containing poisons used by the government for detaining alcohol. Later the poisons go to the bootleg liquor made from denatured alcohol and in the course of time kill off the drinkers of the stuff. Dr. Sirovich, who staged the demonstration, also exhibited some harmless denaturants which would render the alcohol unalatable and obnoxious to the smell, but not dangerous to life. Leading dry Republicans and Democrats objected to the New York member's using the House chamber as a "laboratory" and a "distillery" or permitting the passing of drinks in the chamber," but in vain. The New Yorker had his say, "a lover of humanity and as one who wants to see the Constitution upheld," that "it is not right to put poison to denatured alcohol." He exhibited a bottle of ethyl alcohol mixed with wood alcohol, one drop of which he declared would cause blindness to ninety-five percent of those unfortunate enough to take. He also showed specimens of denaturants which would render alcohol obsoient to taste and smell and yet not warm the drinker. Of course, this was regarded as encouraging the breach of prohibition by the bone dry advocates, who would rather poison the unwary wets than merely nauseate him. It would seem that the Prohibition commissioner has been having some experiments made along the same line as Dr. Sirovich. A few weeks ago it was announced that Government chemists have developed six new non-poisonous denaturants for alcohol. A Washington dispatch quoted Commissioner Doran's description of these new deterrents toootlegging, as follows: One day last week, a New York physician who is a member of the present Congress, stood at his desk and set forth an impressive array of bottles containing poisons used by the government for denaturing alcohol. Later the poisons go into the bootleg liquor made from denatured alcohol and in the course of time kill off the drinkers of the stuff. Dr. Sirovich, who staged the demonstration, also exhibited some harmless denaturants which would render the alcohol unpalatable and obnoxious to the smell, but not dangerous to life. It would seem that the Prohibition Commissioner has been having some experiments made along the same line as Dr. Sirovich. A few weeks ago it was announced that Government chemists have developed six new non-poisonous denaturants for alcohol. A Washington dispatch quoted Commissioner Doran's description of these new deterrents to bootlegging, as follows: They are fearfully named—butyl-alcohol, butyl-acetate, amyl-alcohol, amyl-acetate, toluol and xylol, and, according to Dr. Doran, their effects on the drinker are equally fearful. Seasickness, he suggested, would be the "morning after" effect of drinking alcohol denatured with any of these "yls" or "ols" or "lates." "The average human cannot consume alcohol containing these denaturants," Dr. Doran said. The taste just resembles as alcohol, which is our denaturant that tastes like burnt crank oil." Doran said toolu and xylu are first and second cousins to benzol, and leave in alcohol a gasoline taste and smell which cannot be removed by bootleggers. Butyl and amyl have "sharp odors," and even a whiff of them causes irritation of the throat and sharp pains in the back and head. "These denaturants are not rank poison; they are colorless liquids, with pungent odors," Doran said. "The smell should warn any person against them and the taste is obnoxious. These denaturants will not kill certainly should cure drinkers from further imbibing. The disagreeable taste is bad enough, but when any of these six chemicals get into the stomach the drinker becomes naudated. The Commissioner-added that method, or wood alcohol, would probably be used in very small quantities with these chemicals, but the percentage would be so small that it would not be poisonous. Its effect would be to prevent bootleggers from removing other denaturants. The Commissioner-added that methanol, or wood alcohol, would probably be used in very small quantities with these chemicals, but the percentage would be so small that it would not be poisonous. Its effect would be to prevent bootleggs from removing other denaturants. THE AGE READERS' FORUM While the Congressman and the Commissioner differ in some degree as to the use of wood alcohol, they both seem to concur in the sentiment that it is not right to poison people merely because they are rash enough to drink pro- Organizer Randolph Tells Of Pullman Brotherhood A. "Philip Kaudolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, submits a resume of the work of his organization since its inception. His statement is as follows: STATE OF THE PORTER'S UNION By A. Philip Randolph General Organizer. Out of the miserable depths of indescribable, economic, wage pauperism, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is steadily raising the Pullman porters and maids to a high plane of challenge. Probably longer than any other group of wage earners in American industry, the porters have sat in the shadows, singing songs of economic sorrow and surrender, distressingly unwitting of their happiness while spinning a cloud through the way of sunshine. So it is with the porters and maids. While the Employee Representation Plan was resting upon the necks of the porters, with ever increasing menace and misery, the Brotherhood came with a definite industrial prergame and a hope the distracted disheartened, disorganized and despaired porter. The spirit of organization swept the porters throughout the country with amazing rapidity. Instinctively, men sensed North East, West and South that the crew must be certain their organization was nothing but organization, but organization of, by and for the Pulman Porters. Tell of Grievances With dramatic intensity, porters related how grievance after grievance, under the Employee Representation Plan, had failed of proper, adequate and fair adjustment, how the superintendent was the officer of the company, who regarded the rights of the porters, right or wrong. With much feeling and force they told how the superintendent traplured upon, ignored, disregarded and manipulated the Company Union, or Employee Representation, and sent the indentent said that a porter must go, he had to go regardless of the merits of his case, and that the Grievance Committee of the Plan had no power to stop him, and dared not suggest a policy contrary to the superintendent's, or the Grievance Committee would have to go, too. They told how the Pullman Wage Conferences were staged as smoke-screens, to divert attention of porters from a bona-fide organization. They were aware of the welfare workers to achieve the welfare of the porters. The porters realize that the so-called welfare workers were really working for the welfare of the company, without regard to the interest of the company. The welfare workers are paid by the company and take their orders from the company. They knew from experience that when a Pullman porter, was discharged, a welfare worker was entirely helpless to do hijin any good. He also knew that any passenger was tendent of the Pullman Company and cause any porter to be thicharged, whether he has been in the service one year or forty. This is not true of the Pullman conductors, engineers, or firemen. They are tendent to work have their organizations to represent them in the adjustment of their grievances. Some Flagrant Injustices Combining these obvious and flagrant injustices with the intolerable low wage of $72.50 a month, with perhaps tips and perhaps none; long hours of nearly four hundred a month; from one to five hours of preparatory time, which is labor unpaid; the possibility of being dead-headed all over the country; the be made, since no passengers are on the cars; the requirement of the porter to use his own money to buy polish to shine the passengers' shoes, without the right to request pay; the existence of hundreds of extra porters, who some time get a run and sometimes don't, but who must report any of these conditions drove the Pullman porters into the Brotherhood, as a traveler on a desert seeks water to shake his thirst. Before the Pullman Company was able to sense the gigantic proportions which the Brotherhood was assuming, the Union had won over the large majority of the porters and maids; and in May, 1926, and July, 1927, it presented the case of the porters to the Wilmington Company. The company contested the right of the Brotherhood to represent the men and claimed that eighty-five per cent of the porters had voted for the Company Union. The Board determined that the Brotherhood did lawfully represent the majority of the porters, and therefore, urged and recommended that the Pullman Company arbitrate to dispute with the Brotherhood according to the provision of the Railway Company. The imminent company replied, in flagrant defence of the Board that there was nothing to arbitrate, that there was no dispute. Taken To The I. C. C. Thereupon the Brotherhood presented its case, to the Instantate Commencement Commission, contending that the Pullman Company, by requiring porters to soil tips from passengers who had already paid, for tickets, entitling them to berth and service, violates the Interstate Commerce Act. The Brotherhood statute for an investigation of the Pullman Company secession and legal relationship might be tentative, tipping and wages, thereby depriving the company of, the excuse of claiming that tips are a part of the porter's wages, relieving the company of the necessity of paying the porter a living, total and proper wages. So fact that the company strenuously fought against the state Commerce-Commission's taking jurisdiction over this case, shows that it fears the consequences of such an investigation. It knows that the Commission is the only government body which has authority to enforce that it cannot evade the Commission; it did the United States Mediation Board. Of course, the Brotherhood is not depending upon the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, although it expects the decision to be favorable, but it is relying upon the solidarity of the men in the business base of the Pullman company, to which the Pullman Company will be compelled to bow. Were this not true, the company would not fight the Porters Union, for it would be a waste of time, money and worry to attempt to defeat that which is doomed to failure anyway. The enlightened public and all labor men, know that the Brotherhood can and will win if the porters stick and stand firm. It is perhaps the eighth wonder of the world, so far as the Pullman Company is concerned, that the porter, one carefree, apathetic, indifferent and unconcerned, is now aroused and excited by the fate of the Japanese carrying the Brotherhood through to victory, regardless of consequences. The company is amazed that by firing some of the outstanding porters who were ardent union fighters, it was not able to stampede the organization or frighten the company on their arrival. The company had worked for the company twenty and thirty years, proudly took their discharge from the company before they would stoop to repudiating the Union. At this manly and unprecedented conduct, the company was thunder-struck by the porters when the placing of a few Filipinos and Chinese on the club cars was ridiculed and laughed out of court by the porters. It was stricken with desperation when the "yellow-dog" contract utterly failed to intimidate the men and stop the porters from tantally facing the necessity of dealing with the Brotherhood it could not destroy. To this end it must mold and shape a new Pullman policy toward the porter and the Brotherhood. Mr. Mitchell, superintendent of the Pennsylvania District of New York, has been discarded; formerly a discarded too. The Brotherhood's attacks on him made him a moral liability to the company. Other superintendents will have to go too. The logic of events demands a more humane, civilized, rational, constructive and just policy to pullman Company must bow to a aroused public opinion and united front of porters and maids. Grain Answers Watson Editor of The New York Age: Kindly permit me the space in your valuable paper to answer a letter under the caption, "CALLING A HALT," of February 11, by one Doctor D. Watson, who signs himself "a porter." Is the question: "Why need the porter let Mr. Randolph go on and insurp the power belonging to the porter only?" The answer to this question is plain and simple. It is because the porter cannot represent himself, since efforts in the past of porters to organize by porters who remained in the service resulted in those porters being fired out of the service. Mr. Randolph was not in the service and conserved the service for his activity in organizing the porters. This is the reason why the Pullman Company directs all of its attack upon Mr. Randolph. He asks, "Who elected the pres-ent officers of the B. S. C. P.?" Answer, the porters. Next, he asks, "At what meeting of porters were the pres-ent policies adopted and where?" At several meetings and in conferences and meetings in different sections of the country. He also asks, "what porter or porters present his district and who elected the same?" Mr. Watson ought to know that if this question were answered that the said porters would be victimized by the company as a result of information carried the company by stool pigeons. We are not certain that Mr. Watson is asking this question in good faith. Next, Mr. Watson wants to know whether the minority should not have a voice if Mr. Rundolf represents the majority, the porters are interested for Mr. Watson to know that the Brotherhood has no dissenting minority. Continues Mr. Watson "I deny that any of the above questions can be answered truthfully in the affirmation, and because of that The Texas, Freeman, published at Houston, editorially defined the part that "The Electoral Bonus" plays in presidential elections. In the following terms: The time has 'again come when dyed-in-the-wool democrats may gleefully gloat over the 114 solid votes in the electoral college, which are an assured BONUS out of the 531 votes which will be cast by the electoral college, following the election when undisturbed accumulations of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas shall have been counted for their presidential candidate this autumn. In the great majority of voters, this is just as difficult for a Negro to vote as it is for him (or any other human being, for that matter) to memorize the Constitution of the United States or trace his grandfather's ancestry. Could he use the ballot with freedom, don’t use it, freedom during the World War, this vote "bonus" of 114 electoral votes, could be cut down to its "square -ot" of democracy. This electoral bonus is given not only at the expense of the disfranchised black voters of the South, but the white voters of the North must pay as well in the reduction of their voting power. Commending the growing practice of the metropolitan press to dignify the use of the word Negro as a racial designation with a capital filter, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: The Journal and Guide has noted with much pride and pleasure that the four most important Virginia papers, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Richmond News-Leader, the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch and the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot have adopted the reform. The first three papers, named print the word with digital N through their news and editorial columns. The last named paper capitalizes the word in its editorial columns. The justice of playing the word up instead of down is obvious. The word Negro designates a race, not merely a color. The Negro has endured the humiliation of being a minority in a family whose racial title was not recorded in print with a capital letter. That in itself has been an injury to our own self-respect. No matter how tolerant one may be, or how intellectually impervious to implied contempt one may be, the same conditions which result from a studied and persistent purpose to belittle one's race. It is gratifying to note that the great American press is rising above that narrow attitude. It is especially gratifying that, in addition to the papers already named, such influential Southern papers as the Baltimore Morning and Evening Sun, the睁眼女新闻和Observer of the United States, Durham Morning Herald and the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer Sun, have joined the ranks of those newspapers which have the fairness and courage to do justice to the Negro in respect of according dignity to the title which identifies the race. The significance of this new departure on the part of leading Southern newspapers cannot be overestimated. It should open the eyes of those less progressive Northern papers, who have lagged behind in this reform. Discoursing on the unpopular combination of "lilg Times and the Job" the Philadelphia Tribune sapiently said: After frailicking all night it is hard to pull on the old job the next morning. The eyes are dim and the brain slips a cog. The machine just won't hit on all 'six'. After the big-time there is the job. If it were not for the morning alter and that job, well it wouldn't be so bad. But one must eat and sleep and pay for amusement, therefore, the job is to younger. That job said to be younger sheba, "Ain't it grand and glorious"—but there is the job," common sense replied calmly at 3 A.M. After all it is simply a matter of values. Some people place a greater value on the big-time than they do on their jobs. But when the job is gone there are no big-times. And even those of us who like to speed home in a taxi when the milk man is making his rounds must not forget that the job is the thing that makes the taxi wheel; turn. It is the alternation of work and play that gives the latter its value. fact I deny Mr. Randolph or any one else to represent me before anybody.4 Well, If Mr. Watson doesn't want Mr. Randolph to represent him I am sure that Mr. Randolph is not going to weep over that fact. And, therefore, Mr. Watson: "If Mr. Randolph wants to be fair, let him accept the challenge hereby submitted to meet me before any group of porters and accept their vote after hearing us both. Lest I be misunderstood, I am speaking for the porters and not for the company nor Mr. Randolph." Perhaps Mr. Watson is not speaking for the company, but the company is speaking through him. It is superfluous for him to add that he is not speaking for Mr. Randolphi. I am sure that Mr. Randolph hasn't got the time to engage in any debate with Mr. Watson, for several reasons, all of which Mr. Watson himself ought to under-stand. He is important matters engage his attention. No would I think of answering him. No would the desire to enable him to see the light, which, from his observations make me conclude that it is virtually a hopeless task. S. E. GRAIN, While all work and no play may make jack a dull boy to some mind, the reverse of the proposition would become equally boresome. There ceases to be relaxatios in play if it becomes a steady diet. Replying to an assertion made by Edwin E. Gore, exp-resident of the Chicago Crime Commission, that Negroes are responsible for Chicago's crime wave; the Chicago Bee made this pertinent retort: Granting that there is much crime among, the Chicago Negroes, it is more frequently in the form of misdemeanors and other petty crimes rather than major crimes, and 99 per cent of it is committed within those areas. It is populated by Negroes, and that it is very apparent that Mr. Gore, although claimly to be biased against colored people, sends out his weekly release (this is his second) in which he plays 'up and emphasizing Negro crime as a smoke screen to distract the-public's attention from the bloody record of Chicago's white gangland wars, bootleggers, brigands, racketeers, burglars and organizers of black crime that has and will continue a strangle-hold on the law and law enforcing bodies of Chicago. Yes, it is true that we have crime in our areas, for which we are sorry, but the better law abiding element among Negroes are just as powerless to control the situation as are the whites to control their. Mr. Mayor Dever's administration during Mayor Dever's administration mayor of Chicago, the United States attorney general of Chicago appeared before a congressional committee at Washington, D. C., and testified that the local Chicago government had broken down; that the city was at the mercy of thugs and gunmen who had been existed here. On hearing of this statement, Mayor Dever took his chief of police and other city officials and hurried to Washington, where he and his aids contradicted the testimony of the United States attorney general, gave the lie to his contempts, branded him a counter-claim that Chicago was comparatively free of vice and crime. But before the mayor and the committee had returned to Chicago twenty-four hours, one of the foulest murders in the history of the clearest was committed in broad daylight on North Street state, there numerous murdered, bombing and gangland murders of the assistant, state's attorneys being a victim, and since then conditions in white gangland have grown worse and worse. In conclusion, the Chicago editor holds that when the Western metropolis has a strong white leadership, capable of restoring law and order, then will the smaller groups be able to function in developing good citizenship. That is putting the responsibility where it belongs. The Cincinnati Union printed the following contribution, headed "From an Old Timer," in a conspicuous position on its front page: Thirty years ago we had horse ears and buggies, five cent beer, nickel cigars and ten cent liquor. Butter was ten cents a pound, eggs ten cents a dozen, and men worked ten hours a day and never went on a strike. Women stayed at the mall, businessmen wore whiskers and played poker, chewed tobacco and spit on the sidewalk. Movies were unknown, and theatre seats cost $2. Dired. Hired girls worked for two dollars a weel and did the washing. A shave cost ten cents and a hair cut fifteen. Everybody had a good time and people walked miles to wish their friends a Merry Christmas. Today, everybody rides in an automobile or flies. We have profiter and rent hogs, war-tax, nuisance-tax and surtax; also janitors, bandits and bookkeepers. Women paint and bob their cigarettes and go to cauberts. Men smoke cigarettes and crap, and think they are having a lot of a good time. If you think life is worth lying, we wish you a Happy New Year. Evidently "Old Timer" feels that the times are out of joint, because of the changes that he has enumerated. He should cheer up and take things as he finds them. The Cleveland Coil and cost evolved the following ingenious apology for what it styled "Editorial Borrowing." Ever so often we read that a contemporary is tightly affixed at seeing an exchange "stealing" an editorial or article from its columns without giving credit to its 'source'. To be sure he ethics of the same article are not the same exceptions to every rule. Think of the struggling journal which has no funds to employ enough help in the rush and crush of advertising and circulation work—to bring in so needed revenues—and then the hurry at press-time. If this weighs heavily upon the shoulders of one or two how can we expect them to sit calmly and write editorials? Therefore, when we see our editorials decorating the columns of exchanges without due credit, we are not offended in the least, because are the emergency that must have actuated the "steal"—a word we do not approve. We like to believe that our contemporary borrowed in the same innocent a neighbor borrows a book or a piece of sugar. CALL and POST is ideal to be of service where it is most needed. It sounds as if the Cleveland editor was preparing an allied to be in a case of emergency. It is much better to give credit where the scissors fall, even if it is not CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Emanuel A. M. E. Church The communion services held both Sunday morning and evening were impressive. The pastor, Rev. D. Ward Nichols, seemed to have been to his uppermost height in the spirit on Sunday evening. "The congregation was unusually large all day.

Shelton Hale Bishop will all be invited to attend St. Martin's services. First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock service Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the Bishop's kingdom in St. Matthew 6:16. The kingdoms realization of the Kingdom of God." Pastor Bolden said this paragraph: "The Kiyomigoda Come," that our Lord the Emmanuel spoke of as being a part of the model prayer that He gave the inquiring and comparing disciples, while it has been the model for the minds of millions throughout the ages, has also been a comfort and an inspiration to greater millions in each generation that has passed since it was spoken. And to-day to the believer in our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel it stimulates his hopes and fires his ambition and increases faith in the triumph of the kingdom of the kingdom of the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, in the mind of man, and the world of humanity, This love of God and bounty was demonstrated by our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel while in the flesh. Though He was and is one with us in human nature and provided the Father the Faith of all men, Teacher, Prophet, Messiah, High Priest, King, the Author and Giver of Everlasting Life, to which heaven and earth owe Him allegiance; He was yet so humble in His life and social contacts that He healed all manner of sick and forgave sins, and revealed Himself as the judge of the living and the dead. At 2 p. m. the Sunday School convened. A short review of the lessons was given. At the evening service Pastor Bolden continued his discourse of the morning. On Sunday night Bible class.

Wilson, resident bishop of the New Cork Area, was the preacher at St Mark's School. His text was from latin quotidian. Her canon "The sermon was tinkly and impressive." The major thought which he endeavored to leave with the congregation, was the impulse of letting love be the impulse in our lives, if we would succeed. Bishop Wilson is to be retired from active service at the general convention which convenes in Kansas City in May. In lieu of the "Southwestern Church Advocate," the M. E. church church was a point made. At 6:30 p. m. the young people of the Epworth Law, rendered a special musical program, which did credit to them.

Vernon Johns, director, had arranged with the Abyssinian Baptist for the visit of the minister and secured the services of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church's choir. St. Paul's members were well represented in that audience, and are unstinted in their raise of the great address made by Dr. Johns. Our pastor was held as usual, but with fewer attendants, as result of the public meeting in Abyssinian. However, we are informed that they had a good meeting. Friday night, Deacon Were had his people together in prayer ser- viced by his statements made all hearts gled by his statements about progress in the matter of the new church house.

We are expecting great things in our spring revival service, which begins March 12. We have all things about ready, for the present! Refuge Church of Christ Morning service was good. Elder Lawson preached from Daniel 6:27. "He delivereth and rescueth and He worketh signs and wonders, and he delivereth and hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions." Elder Lawson said: "These are the words of Darius, King of Persia, after they had taken Daniel from the den of lions, and acknowledged that his God was the only God to serve. These words have found their way down the ages to the hearts of many, comfort and affection, them that walk with God; and are permeable for righteousness sake. Daniel's steadfastness to God is what made him victor, and hold control over himself and all that he endeavored to do. The man who has control over himself is invincible. He is master over all." WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH things. The man that pets trust in God, can well master own behavior. He did not retire from the public nor hide himself to pray, though he knew the decree was levelled against him; notwithstanding he knew it was so, therefore he stood his ground, knowing that he had now a fair opportunity of honouring God before men, and showing his duty to Him before life itself. "At the evening service, Elder Walter A. Evans preached from Mark 5:27, 28. "When she had heard of Jesus, she came in the press behind, and touched His garment, for she said, if I may touch the Lord, I would be touched. Elder Evans brought forth a very impressive message on the healing virtue from a touch by faith of the garment of the Lord. The Lord was well aware of the press that was upon Him at the time, but He also had perfect knowledge of the touch of faith that had been made in the Lord. Elder and Mrs. Evans were in the city one week, and are now in Hartford, Conn. Bethel A. M. E. Church Bethel's new pastor, the Rev.

Moun: Olivet Baptist Church Sunday, March 4, an exceptionally fair day, brought a large attendance all day at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, 201 Lenox avenue, at 120 street. The pastor, Rev W. P. Hayes' subject for discourse was "The Unfelt Hand In Human Life," just part of the course from the 45th Chapter of Isaiah: "I girded thee though thou has not known Me."

Dyer, rendered excellent music throughout the day NOTICE CORRESPONDENTS Please have your news items in by Tuesday morning of each week Articles reaching the office later than Tuesday, will appear in the following week's issue. The pulpit of the Berenich Baptist Church on Bergen street at Rochester avenue, Brooklyn, was tilled Sunday by the Rev. J. B. Herber of Pittsburgh, Pa. was preached the morning service. The audience was large and the offering liberal. No action has been taken toward calling a pastor but the matter is the close attention of the pulpit committee. Sunday School is building regular sessions following the morning services of the church. The scholars are faithful in attendance and helpful to their superintendent and teacher. Next Sunday afternoon the church will hold its regular monthly communion services at 3:30 o'clock. Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church The Sunday morning message was brought by Bishop George C. Clement of Louisville, Ky., to the congregation of Fleet, Street Church Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor. The large but appreciative audience listened attentively as the speaker paid highest tribute to Christ Jesus our Lord. He enchained his hearts by the submission of his thought and direction, and by the elevation and spicior with which he arose on the wings of eloquence to the survey of divine precepts. At the close of the message four persons came forward for membership. The Sunday school, under conditions, is keeping up to the standard. Criminal interest is being managed by the teachers and scourys in full departments. The session Sunday was attended by several prominent visitors. The sermon Sunday evening by the pastor was denounced and punished and as usual possessed unity, order, movement and point. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church "The Cross of Christ" was the sermon topic of the pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler at the morning hour. The text was Galatians 6:14. Dr. Tyler stressed the point that the Cross of Christ bore the same things. First, it bore witness to the things. Second, to God's hatred of sin, third, it revealed the divine nature or God; and last it is a challenge to heroic and sacrificial living. Dr. Tyler also emphasized the point that it was Lenten season and we should stop for awhile and consider the true values of the Cross should not let the material things overtake the spiritual things. Few take the time to study Christianity, though they profess to be tollowers of Christ. We should make a study of our faith in order to be efficient Christians just as the lawyer, physician and others study to master their faith. The real Christian test is in doing the things we do not want doing, our enemies and not yielding to various forms of temptations. Four persons came forward when the doors of the church were opened. In the afternoon the Sunday school held an interesting session. It largely attended the superintendent, John L. Nixon, presided. At the vesper service, the Allen League held its meeting. The topic was intelligently discussed by a number of members. At the evening hour the Rev. A. B. Hertz held the New York Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church, who has been pastoring upstate, filled the pulpit. He spoke on the theme "Walking With God." The text was Genesis 5:24 The flowers in the pulpit were in memory of the late Stephen Denby, and were given by his son and daughter Sunday afternoon (funeral services were held for Peter R. Walker, 65, an old member of the church. He was a member of class No. 5, and the Society of the Sons of N.C. the pastor officiated. Next Sunday will be communion Sunday. The memorial library is growing to such an extent that there is a possibility of the officers of the church assigning a separate room for the books. Already it has fifty two volumes that deal with Negro history and church life. It is also the choir, and a large portion of the membership paid a fraternal visit to Fleet Street A, M. E. Zion Church, of which Dr. W. C. Brown is pastor, on Tuesday evening, February 29. Nazarene Long. Church The Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor tiled his pulpit at both services last Sunday. At the morning hour he gave the first of a series of sermons on "The Vision of the Land, the Book of Man" taking for his theme "Bethlehem and the Birth of Jesus."

FLIT DESTROYS Moths,Roaches Bedbugs,Flies Other Household Insects THE Out of this demand for economy and safety, the church received voice to the advance voice for the present bench of bishop C. W. H. McCarthy, who will be the paradoxical inconsistency. With the bench in the decline of justice, obstinacy that at least two of them will all be removed before the end of the coming month, they stand before the whole conference. With larger territories, many they do their duties you can see the election of more bishops. And when it is not for larger peremptory election of more bishops, have a larger once over a trey number of Echo answers. Why? (Rev) E. M. ARGITA Washington, D. C. MISSION AT ST.

The games were at Madison Garden on Wednesday March 1, and nearly 20,000 entrants were present. Although Edwards was jammed in the start, he quickly forged his way to the front and led a field of contestants to the top. Collegians Play Championship Ball To Defeat Buffaloes All Harlem attended the game on Monday night when the famous York (Original) Collegians advanced Geo. Ralston's Buffaloes, state champs, in a fast contest. The final score, 52-42, does indicate that the Buffaloes were completely outclassed by the present another champions. The first half found the big "C" in a scoring spree and when the whole blew for half-time they led to 16. Johnny Holt and Joe Hall starred for the victors, though Clark Wright and Jack Livingston and well.

Defeats The New York Meteors The Carlton Y Quintet again withstood the attack of a strong team, and emerged victorious. The New York Meteors boasts of one of the strongest teams in the Metropolitan area, having maintained a creditable position in the City Amateur League. With "Joe" of the renowned, Collegian combination, at center, the New York boys drew first blood by tallying two field baskets during the first few minutes of play. The game was close during the first half. By superb handling on the part of Smith, the Carlton "5," although missing many opportunities to score, were able to stay in the lead. Final score—Carlton 32 Meteors 28. The senior boys had very little trouble in defeating the Whippet Juniors. Senior Boys 23, Whippets 19. Referee: A; Wilson. The Collegians had not been favored to "show up" the Buffaloes in the return game for the lightweight supremacy. It took dollars to prove their ability (as well as points) and the Collegians were backed. heavily. Many prominent sports folks attended. The Age reporter found Bob Douglas, Sid Kramer, Al Brown, Kid Francis, Wibur Cohen, Lem Salmons, Al Francis and Kid Fleming, as well as Specks Moten (of basketball fame), 'Hop' Hutbard, who referred the contest; George Gregory and Squack' Miller of the famed Y.

'BOUT BOXING' BY TED YATE8 Jimmy Scott of this city a lightweight boxer who recently knocked out Rubber Tommy (a few laughs, please) scored his second win when he disposed of Jack Peterson in the thirtieth of a scheduled ten round at Pitfield Mass. Scott is a great battler and the spy a puncher that would fare well at the final fight clubs, Attention Mr. Weill. Jack McVey, Negro middleweight challenger claims he was rushed into a recent bout with Máxie Rosenbloom and has told the Boxing Commission he is seeking a redress, and to prove this 'ole Corn Bread disposed of Joey Knapp in "good fashion. Though the Harlemite did not K. O, his victim he gave Yorkville's ace a neat boxing lesson. Eddie Bowie lost to Joe Ferrenti on last Saturday night at the Olympia A. C. in a fast six-rounder. It was a corking bit, but close. When the judges awarded the Italian with the decision we just joined the chorus: "You can't make us mad—though we are forced to take it bad." George Godfrey won over Pauline Uxcdun. "Now Mistah Tex Rickard let me hab' a hand in dith heavyweight tourney." Some of the down-town daily papers forget that for three years or more 'Big George', the Leiperville Ghost, was in Dempsey's camp. And it's no better for them if they think he is no good at his English. We invite Tunney to try and give him a lesson-in anything. Terry Gaines, Toronto Negro, won the judges' decision over Pat McCarthy of Boston at Toronto, Ont., recently in a ten-round seto. The bout was fast and though the verdict was reported not to have been popular with the fans, the Negro completely outclassed the Massachusetts battler in all but four rounds. Eddie McRae (not Jack McVey) is soon to appear at the Olympic A-C against a worthy opponent, McRae is a featheryweight and has had but three professional bouts. They were very impressive, and Jimmie Brown and Frank White (managers of Jimmie Moore) are reported to have taken over this new corner. In a recent visit to Stilman's gymnasmist the writer watched this youngster in action. He has a good right and can use his left to good advantage. It will be but another week before the Harlem fans can see "this leather flash" workout at the New Garden. Change of scenery off-times produces good results. We will continue to watch this youngster. St. Philips Five Leads In Sunday School League On Tuesday, February 28, St. Philips won its fifth game in the Carlton Sunday School League, by defeating St. Barnabas, 39-13. The boys representing St. Philips have maintained a clean slate during the entire season. These boys are to be commended upon their wonderful team spirit and their playing ability. With young Holland, a remarkable player for his age as captain, a noteworthy future is predicted for these boys as members of both the boys department and St. Philips Sunday school. Mr. Holmes, their leader, in both Sunday school and Scout activities, has a group to be proud of. Remaining game is on Tuesday, March 20, St. Barnabas versus St. Philips. St. Cyprians Win Game; Cubs Beat Guild Juniors It was a gala night for The St. Cyprian Club on last Friday night, for both the Speedbobs and the St. Cyprian Cubs disposed of their opponents "in big league fashion." The Speedbobs after a set-back at the hands of the Original Buffaloes, came through to defeat the Hudson Guild Big Five by a 47 to 32 score. In the preliminary contest The St. Cyprian Cubs handed the Hudson Guild Juniors a 38 to 14 thrasing "Big Boy" Stevens starred for the Speedbobs in the feature contest. There was a big crowd on hand. The V. M. D. quintet was to have played the Speedbobs but the 135th Street athletes, like the Collegians, seem to fear the down-town gym Monarch Elks To Give Annual Ball On Easter Monday At 369th Armory Members of Monarch Lodge have begun preparations for their annual ball which will be given this year at the 369th Regiment Armory, 143rd street, near Lenox avenue, on Easter Monday, April 9. Unusual interest is attracted to this popular social event as the net proceeds will go toward the Monarch Lodge building fund. This lodge recently purchased the former Liberty Hall of the Marcus Garvey organization on West 138th street and plans and specifications are now being prepared for a $1,000,000 clubhouse and lodge rooms to be erected on this site. It is expected that the Monarch Ball will rival the grand lodge entertainment of last summer. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER Hightower Trio are at Proctor's 125th Street Theatre, New York City.

"Meek Mose", With Original Cast Comes To Lafayette March 12 Harkening back to the days when the Lafayette Theatre was the home of the Negro drama, "Meek Mose" will be presented as an extra added attraction at this theatre next week.

Some of the finest actors are in the cast of "Meek Mose." Among them are Laura Bowman, Sidney Kirkpatrick and J. Lawrence Griner whos work with old Lafayette Players established them in the ranks of our foremost actors. "Happiness Revue" At Alhambra Next Week "Joyland" a Coney Island amusement park is the center of gayety in the musical comedy at the Alhambra this week, but the characters don't stay there. They stray off to Rock Creek farm, and then to the Orient. The special scenic creations by the Alhambra's own technical staff won much applaise. Sandy Burns, Sam Manning and Mantan cut their comedy capers in every part of the globe portrayed. "Our Mandy" Randolph and those Alhambra girls found a lot of new dances and stunts to do, and Viola McOy, Ethel Ridley, Zudora and Sterling Grant had song numbers that caught the fancy of the big audience. DeWayman Niles was a decided novelty in the Coney Island scene, doing unbelievable contortion feats. Cross and Jackson danced cleverly with Mantan "butted in" and turned it to comedy. Alice Calboan is the pretty photoplay star in "The Other Woman's Story." Next Week "Happiness" The entirely new show to start at Alhambra Monday is the "Happiness Revue," which will have some new talent in addition to the favorites. The Musical Magpies are splitting this week between Cohocton and Youngstown, O., with Williamsport, Sunbury, Ashland, Philadelphia and New York to follow.

"A Gentleman of Paris" At Lincoln Theatre Adolphe Menjou is a man of affairs in his new Paramount picture "A Gentleman of Paris" which opened at the Lincoln Theatre. However, men of affairs marry just anyone else and when Menjou's time for marmory rolls around all of his "affairs" with the exception of one, are painlessly and gracefully terminated. What causes all the trouble, some of it laughable and some of it bordering on tragedy, is the affair Menjou was having with the wife of his own valet, although it must be explained that he was unaware of the charmer's marital status. Menjou shares many of the dramatic values of the production with the man who plays the valet, Nicholas Soussain, who was seen with the star in his last picture "Service for Ladies" as the waiter who went." Shirley O'Hara, a newcomer, is the leading woman; Ivy Harris, the faithless wife of the valet and Lawrence Grant, the father-in-law. William B. Davidson and Arlette Marcheal have important roles. Harry D'Abbadie D'Arraast directed "Valley of Giants" At Roosevelt Theatre Milton Sills has made his first picture among the huge Redwoods of California.

With a company of fifty Sills, went on location at Scotia, California, near Eurekaa and in the heart of the Redwoods. Amid trees towering 300 feet into the air, the oldest living things on this continent, Sills worked in scenes for the story. Carlton Branch Five In Strenuous Schedule On Saturday, February 18, two of Carlton's representative basketball teams emerged victorious by close scores, Boys 28-17; Seniors, 32-30. The Senior Boys won a fast and well played game from the Eastern District boys, while the Seniors repeated the act with the Eastern District Seniors. The latter game was nip and tuck most of the way, with both teams determined to win. The Y. M. D. team suffered its third defeat at the hands of the Wallace Club. The visitors displayed a wonderful game of ball especially on the offense. They broke through Carlton's defense at will. Wallace, 47; Y. M. D., 36 Officials, A. Wilson and Jean Brown. On March 10, the Bordentown Industrial School will visit Carlton to play their return game "The wildcats" are coming with the advantage in games—having defeated Carlton by one point on January 14 at Bordentown.

'S 2 iN THE * wot = OF: | REALM. : Pr MUSIC ——_——-By LUCIEN a ml, JOO NEGRO-GHOR APPEARS IN INTERESTING AND:UNUSUAL PROGRAM AT NEW PYTHIAN TEMPLE’ AUDITORIUM dutorum on Wednesday night, February 29, when they took a trip down to 135 West 70th street to the Pythian Temple, a gorgeously decorated building, to hear the Hall Johnson Negro Choir in an unu- sual program of Negro Spirituals and folk song. ® ‘The Harlemites, however, were, laggely in the minority, for the -apacious hall was well-nigh filled with interested and appreciative au- ditors of the Nordic group. And it was an instructive experience. to note the manner in which the people’ reacted to the simple, yet digni- fied manner in which Mr, Johnson hai his'singers perform their task. ‘The program, a six-page folder, carried the complete text of each song, with an, explanatory footnote, a model of terse clarity, defining and explaining the mood and makeup of each number. ‘The basis of his endeavor was set forth by Mr, Johnson in an i troductory note, ig which he set forth that “We aitempt A present these traditional folk melodies in a manner that will reproduce the spirit and fervor of the camp mécting which gave them birth. This necessi- tates the using of 2 gronp larger'than @ quartet, as Negro singing was group singing and necessarily ‘Potyphonte™ (ihe choir Was made op of eighteen voices, men and women), % Further explanation is given :“Beyond an adequate clarity of dic tion anl a fair precision of altack, no attempt is made to secure a per~ fect choral ensemble as generally accepted. We believe that this en- ables us to preserve an emotional content that would be lost by a great- er refinement of method" ‘That there is soundness and sanity in this method of progedure is| evidenced by the uniform excellenc of the resulting attainment. There jc vitality and power in the ‘choie’s vocal utterances, and at the same tume the varying’ emotions and feelings seeking expression through the music mode ate given with fidelity to shadings and nuances. While there are several voices in the choir of more than ordinary| sol quality, it is strikingly apparent that Mr. Johnson has subordin-| ated personal equation to croup accomplishaient . Of course, in the numbers requiring 2 lead voice, that task is-performed by the singer called on with unetion and enthusiasm. But in the ensemble nambers theee 1s°a uiformity of tonal production that rivals the tonal outpour- ing from a great pipe organ, ( The first and second groups were Spiritnals, sung by mixed and male choruses, respectively. The entirg ensemble collaborated in sing- ing the first group of four eumbers, "Great day, de righteous marchin’”| "Golden Slippers,” “I've been ‘buked” and “In dat great gittin’ up morning" Mattie Harris, soprano, sang the lead in “Great day”, while Toni Lee, tenor, sing the incidental solo in “Golden slippers.” | ‘The ten male voices then sang “Kéep a inchin' along,” “Nobody knows the trouble I see,” “Ezekiel saw de wheel,” with Lestic Coles, tenor, leading, and "I got a robe.” The “Ezekiel” song had to be re- peated ‘The third group, by the whole choir, was composed of work songs, and, as these are seldom used im concert programs, they were compar- atively unfamiliar, ‘The songs were “Goin’ to scem’ Sarah," “East- man’. the familiar “Water boy” and “My baby loves short'nin’ bread”. ‘The “Eastman” song was defined by the program as describing in Ne-| sro dialect 2 man supported by women, It'was so effectively given, with Mr. Coles leading, that it had to be repeated. This was also true of the "Water boy”, arranged for a chorus, with Cecil T. McNair, who came here from Philadelphia, singing the solo. * The fourth group reverted back to Spirituals, "When I was sinkin’ down,” "Come here, Lord!" “Fix:me, Jesus,” and “How long train bin gone?” ‘The first three, ol a meditative and melodious structure, form- ed a decided contrast to the last number of thie group. Robert P. Ecton. led “Come here, Lord," Mrs, Willie P, Mays, contralto soloist in Mt! Olivet Baptist Church choir, stirred the audience with the Supplicating “Yvz me, Jesus”, and Arthur Porter was leader in the “How long train bin gone?” . “Steal away” was an added number. ‘The fifth and final group brought a more diversified offering. Mr! Jvhnson’s own arrangement of “There is a City called Heaven,” a'mel-_ ancholy tune in a minor mode, finely effective, had to be repeated. The second number, “Hold on!” ("Keep yo" hand on de plow"), was | ne of the striking numbers of the evening, with Arthur Porter dra-y niatieally portraying the implied action, and if, too, was sung twice, | Then came a beautifully composed chorus, "Spirit-Lullaby,” in an almos, altra-inodera structure, developing through two stanzas into | an old familiae ftursery lullaby. As the program ‘note said, there was ny attempt “secure Negro flavor in the little crovning matil.” The final offering was a setting of Langston Hughes’ poem, “Song for afi banjo dance.” a rollicking number in which "a definite attempt has been} made to reproduce not pnly the spirit of abandon of Negro dancing, but also characteristic Negro harmonics.” Arthur Porter was again the soloist Notwithstanding the length of the program, what with added] mnbers and repetitions, the audience was loath to quit their eather un-} Cmfortable chairs, but iosisted upon further additions. And the choir sang, with wonderful effect, “Deep River”, with Ruby Green, contralto solo an St. Mark's Church choir, giving a thrilling rendition of the solo, "Go down, Moses,” led by Wm.
