Augustine's College.
Bishop Delany was elected suffragan bishop in May, 1918, by the Protestant Episcopal Convention, and inside his episcopal headquarters at St. Augustine's College, in this city, which is within the position vire-principal, in the period from 1899 to 1908.
From Brickmason to Bishop.
Born at St. Mary's, Ga., on February 5, 1888, young Delany took up the bridesmason's trade, and was located in various places in Florida. He was sent to St. Augustine's School, Raleigh, from Florida by the Rev. Dr. Lemuel Thackara of Pernandia, when he was already a grown man. He had successfully piloted the mason's trade up to this time, and he relinquished it, great hesitation to take up his house of preparation for the ministry. Having completed his course at St. Augustine's School, he became a teacher, affluent, and was advanced by successive stages until he became a teacher until 1908 when he was called to be Archdeacon of colored work in the Diocese of North Carolina. This work in which he engaged until 1918 broadened after his conservation in that year as Bishop Suffragam to include work among people throughout the Carolinas. In 1919, he received his degree of doctor of divinity from Shaw University. As Bishop suffragam he was in charge of colorful work in the episcopal church of Calcutta East Carolina, Western North Carolina, South Carolina and Upper South Carolina. The other Negro bisophos are the Rt. Rev. Edward Thomas Demby, Bishop suffragam of Arkansas, and the other Negro homolti Gardiner, Bishop suffragam of Liberia, West Africa.
While at St. Augustine's as a student he met Miss Ema Jay, who became his wife, and later both both been teachers St. Augustine's, where Mrs. Delany is now one of the college matrons. Ten children, all of them are living, blessed this union, and now located in New York City.

LARGER PENSION FOR MRS. YOUNG IS RECOMMENDED House Committee Agrees Upon Increase From $50 To $100
Washington, D. C.—By vote on April 10 the Pensions Committee of the House of Representatives recommended that the pension of Mrs. Young, widow of the late Col. Charles Young of the United States Army, be increased from $50 to $100 per month. This action was taken after a hearing on the bill presented by Congressman Charles Brand of Ohio, President of the United States and Dr. Emmet S. Scott of Howard University, argued in its favor.

Monarch Band Free Summer Concert Fund Is Growing Slowly But There Is Hope That Sum Needed Will Come $137 Is Now In Bank, But $1,656 More Needed To Carry The Program For Eleven Free Recitals; Free Sunday Concert April 29
The third Sunday afternoon concert by the Monarch 45 Band, under direction of Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, promises to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable of the series, the program to comprise a number of the classics, with Wagner, Tschaikowsky, Liszt, and others of the masters represented. This recital will be on April 29, promptly at 3 o'clock.
The campaign to raise a fund to supplement the citys appropriation for free summer park concerts is moving slowly, with intermittent requests to the appraisal for contributions. Many of those who subscribed at the first concert, promising to make payments at different dates ranging from March 3 to April 15, have not done so. They are appalled that these friends will remember to take care of their obligation not later than the next concert, realizing that every dollar promised, and many more besides, will be needed to make it possible for Monarch 45 Band to give the people of Halifax the solemn of their ceremony during the summer that will afford the greatest enjoyment to the entire community.

Holstein Gives $50.
The last published acknowledgement of contributions, on March 31 showed a total of $77 desisted in the special account opened by the treasurer Alderman Fred R. Roore, in the Oralche Bailage Bank Since last year, additional contributions have swelled the total to $137. These additional payments are as follows: Casper Holstein, $50. Mr. and Mrs. C., G. Gordy, 45 West 138th street, SS (additional), George Brewer, $2. Dr. Melville Charlton, $1. A. J. Kew, $T. J. W. Simmons, 100 West 132nd street, $1.
One contribution of $1, credited in an earlier report as "Cash" should have been credited, to Prol. Mimms of 31S West 19th street.
In the creation of this fund, the people of Harlem are giving expression to the desire to make Monarch 45 Band a community organization, and if successful, the band will be able to play free music and August in one of the Harlem parks. The city authorities make some provision for free music for the people, but the appropriation must be scattered over so large an area that the amount allotted to each section is of necessity not large enough to provide for the other players required in a hand of the standard attained by Monarch.
$1.793 In Needed.
The city's appropriation allows only $132 for each concert, and this is sufficient to pay for only fifteen men and a leader. The programs offered by Lieut. Simpson and his musicians require a muchly enlarged personnel. The miniature thirteen, five and to provide for this number the sum of $295 is required for each concert, or a total of $1,993 for the season, in addition to the city's appropriation. A larger number of men would naturally require a larger sum of money. The summer schedule will call for eleven concerts through the season from June 17 through August. The two remaining Sunday afternoon concerts will be at the Harriet Beauce Steele Junior High P. S. J-36, at 135th street and Edgecombe avenue.

COLOR LINE IN CANADA CAUSED BY HOOCH HIKERS Y Secretary Committee Changes Meeting To U. S. As a Result
The executive committee of the Association of General Secretaries of the Y. M. C. A.'s of North America has just announced the change to the place of meeting of the general council on the Prince Edward Hotel of Toronto, Canada, to Pocono Manor, Pa., on account of the proposed drawing of the 'race line' by the Toronto hotel. As soon as the committee found out that the Prince Edward Hotel was averse to offering equal accommodations to colored secretaries, Channing H. Tobias, head of the National Council work for colored men, was called into conference. He reminded the committee of the General Secretaries at its last meeting, which was to the effect that in the future it would refuse to hold meetings when all secretaries concerned could not be given equal accommodations. As conference, the committee again opened up correspondence with the Prince Edward Hotel, but the management was adamant in its refusal to accommodate colored secretaries, without discrimination, wheupon the conference, which met early in to Pocono Manor, Pa., where no line will be drawn. It is said that the reason the Canadian hotels are drawing the race line in this unusual way is on account of the large and growing interest in pursuit of alcoholic liquors.

Negro Bank Watchman Captures Brooklyn Man After Holdup
Although several of the elderly papers gave the credit to two white detectives, the bank watchman at the State Bank of Graham and Varet streets, Brooklyn, was the real hero in the capture of a youthful bandit following the holdup of a dairy near the bank on Tuesday afternoon, April 10.
Mr. Callender was on the second floor of the bank building when he noticed five suspicious looking young men on the opposite side of the street. When he saw one of them take a gun from his pocket, the bandit came and the street and saw the one of the young men go into the dairy while the others stood guard outside.
In the meantime, Mr. Callender had gone across the street and waited in a tailor shop until the man frightening the four others savaged while he captured the man who had been in the dairy.
The bandit gave his name, as August Collett and said he was only 15 years of age. $26 was found in his wallet, the bank register, the Weltman, proprietor, said had been taken from her cash register after she had been forced into a back room at point of a revolver.
Mr. Callender turned his prisoner over to the patrolman on the beat and the bank watchman captured the two detectives, who were sequently given credit for the arrest in the newspapers.
Tuskegee Club Holds Founder's Day Exercises
The Tuskegee Club of New York, made up of graduates, former students, and friends of Tuskegee Institute, held annual founder's day exercises Thursday evening at the Tuskegee University. The life of Booker T. Washington founder of Tuskegee, was extolled. Miss Louise B. Terry presided. The Rev. George W. Thomas offered. Innovation, Negro Spirituals were sung by the Empire 'Jubilee Quartet, made up of graduates of Tuskegee. Dr. J, D. J. Darnison presented Dean John W. Whitaker of Atlanta University, the principal speaker, Dean Whillaker told of the influence of Dr. Washington and of his great service to country and race. Miss Helen Dowty, organist of the University A, M, J, K. Church sang several selections.
With few exceptions, most of the Negro restaurants in Harlem are small establishments and they are suffering from the ills of small businesses—lack of capital with which to purchase supplies in bulk, modern equipment, etc. In the entire Negro section of Harlem, with the exception of the 137th street Branch, M. W. W. K. has a single self-service cafeteria, although this type of restaurant does a thriving business in most of the other sections of the city.
It is interesting to note that the most prosperous Härlem restaurants are owned and controlled by Chinese and they staged as "Chew Suey" joints. On Eighth, Seventh and Lonox avenues, between 23rd and 24th streets, these three low level twisters, these restaurants and all of them are underselling the Negro places, both as to price and the quality of food.
A Meal for 35 Cents.
Some Italian Restaurants.
Another type of restaurant that is becoming popular in Harlem is the Italian restaurant. There are now upwards to half a dozen of these restaurants in this section. The most elaborately furnished establishment of its kind on Seventh avenue.
avenue. This is the La Rosa Italian and American Restaurant at 239 Seventh avenue. When prohibition went into effect two groups of bootleggers struggled for possession of the Harlem liquor of the Italian group, led by the DeRosa brothers, out and the result have become fabulously rich. And out of their liquor profits they had an. interior decorator turn what had been previously an ordinary grocery sore into a first class restaurant. Of course the prices are not cheap here, but, this restaurant can eat a larger variety of foods than any similar establishment in Harlem. Other Italian restaurants in Harlem are less pretentious and the prices are more reasonable. Especially is this true of the restaurants in the saloons. Here spaghetti and other Italian dishes can be gotten at reasonable rates, these places are also becoming quite popular with the Harlem public. Unless the Negro restaurant owners in Harlem get together, it's beginning to look as though they will be driven to the wall.
Bedford Williams, better known as "Candy" Williams, forty-five, a British West Indian Negro, was sentenced Monday to prison for life by Judge Donnellan in General Session. He was convicted last week as a fourth offender under the Banishment law. He robbed to rob Louis Davidson, a salesman of 1016 Bryant Avenue the Bronx, in a hallway at 146 West 143rd street. Teeth marks made by his victim identified "Williams when he was captured" and brought before Davidson.

‘ficially disregards the lettér, of the Federal rail la-

Pullman porters union.
“The law was conceived 3nd

{inly disguised purpose of permit-
ting rail managers to deal with
whom they feel disposed to and
to dispore of those with | whom
they don’t. want to deal,” de-

dress on “Trends in-Laber Organ-
Gatien" atthe, Nationa Urban

“Under the preceding dispensa-
tion and during the tenure of the
late Railroxd Board,” said Lemus,
Athe hiuinblest group of rail em:
" ployees. had their ‘day in court.’
The law was so categorically in-
‘dusive and so basically democratic

representatives was mandatory.
Only one management, that of the
Pennsylvania System, ‘relpsed to—
and only in cases of organizations

A Paradoxical Situation.

seems unkind to Henry T. Hunt,
who also lost the’suit of the Clerks
Union, which sued on behalf « of
the ‘Pennsylvania clerks, another,
union victim of the machine age
on that property!"
Some Surviving Bodies.
‘Mr, Lemus ‘said the heyday of
the majority of rai" employees—
lesser groups, was the day of the
Labor Board’ during whose tenure
the overnight organirations of the
Federal Control Period preserved
their Organization status, and that
among the still efficacious surviv-
‘ors are the American Federation
of Rail Workers, the Association
of Colored Railroad Trainmen, the
Brotherhood of ‘Dining Car ‘Em-
plovees and the Brotherhood | of
Pullman _Conductors—two white
and two black groups. He said
‘shat his organization has superced-
ed two agreements made in 1921,
respectively, Roston and Albany
and New Haven Railroads under
the provisions of the présent law,
and that the U. S. Department of
Labor included his New Haven
contract in its Bureau of, -Labor
Seatistices “Trade, Agreements,
1926." =e
“Bus,” he continued, “it is not
difficult for the laity: to apprehend
why rail management, was ‘detetr-
mined to be rid of a“law—the law
which created -and established, the
Labor Board—that imposed enes-
capable moral obligations. and to
supersede it “with another among
whose legal hodge-podge 1s ample
refuge from the pitiless publicity
ai the late. USbor Board! <The
Board of Mediation, which, in a
way, :akes the Labor Board's place
1s a5 abou as ‘useful as a “sqush-
cd" squash. During the former's
time every rule or "decision was
immediately mimeographed and
mailed to the headquarters of each
rail labor organization, and all
were gompiled and published in
one volume af the end of each
year” we
Secret Diplomacy™-Practiced.
‘There was always precedent to
govern and guide rail finion heads
in preparation of their briefs when
submission was required, and if a
decisien wasn'y handy, ‘a request
on the Board. was immediately
granted. Under“the present dis-
pensation what is done by one or-
ganization is none of the otherst
or the public's husiness. It's a ree
turn from Woodrow Wilson's
‘Covenants openly arrived at’ to
the secret diplomacy of his’ prede-
cessors and sucecssors!’

Accosding to™an announcement
made by thes West 135th Staget
branch of the 'Y. M. CA, an annu-
al holiday will be observed by Ne-
groY M: C A's all over the
country in honor of Julius Rosen-
wald ‘of Chicago, the noted phil-
anthropist, who has given about
$20,000,000 to Negro schools, Y M.
and Y. W. C. A's, and other race
wellare activities, | * ‘
The suggestion, it is said, was
made by the Cincinnati Y, M. C
A. to which Mr. Rosenwald gave
$25,000. Since 1911, when Mr, Ro-
senwald offered to give $25,000 to
establish a Y. M. C. A. in any
locality that would raise $75,000 it
is said that- his contribiitions for
this purpose have aggregated
"$500,000 in sixteen cities.
He also created a special fund
for théibuilding of schools in rural
districts, and donations for this
purpose’ total many thousands of!
dollars, -
The date of the proposed Rosen-
wald holiday has not been settled
upon as yet, it is reported, but the
matter is being considered by the
YM. Cc. A officials,

Phi Beta Sigma Frat
| Turns To Business
‘The Phi Beta’ Sigma Fraternity,

tion’ of “Better Negro. Business
Week" with an, interesting program
at Mother A. if, E. Zion Church,

C.-C. Spaulding, president of the
North Carolina Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company and a member oj this
fraternity, was scheduled to be the
principal speaker but was unable to

‘on insurance; John M. Royall, who
spoke on real estate; Hugh R.
George. who spoke on investment
banking: Alderman Fred R. Moore
on the Negro press; Attorney W. T.
Andrews jr., on the Negro lawyer:
and. Roy Lancaster, secretary-treas-
uret “of the Brotherhood of Slcep-

HIS is a figure-story of a‘company which began business ina very’humble way .
on April 1, 1899. . During its twenty-nine years of experience. It has’ growr
through careful nurture to its present leadership as @ great Service Station of
the race. aes tH . .
At the close of 1926, the company had assets amounting to $3,190,000.00. with insurance in force, '$45.817,687.00
There came during that year a challenge to the cooperative spirit of the North Carolina Mutual, as pioneer in the Legal
Restrve insurance field, to reinsure the company’s business in Florida, amounting to $2,526, 108.00, wish the Afro-Amer-
ican Life Insurance Company of Jacksonville, Florida, and the business in Miss:ssipp:, Oklahoma and Arkansas, amount:
ing to $7,486,734.00 with the Century Life Insurance Company of Little Rock, Arkansas, thus net enly aiding develop-
ment of these companies, but also effecting larger serwice and better supervision in the remaming eight states.’ The +
accrued feserve, amounting to $521,149.80, was paid over to these companies for the policyholders protection.
During 1927, the company made a record increase of insurance in force in eight suites and brought 1s assets again
‘over the $3,000,000.00 mark, largely through increased efficiency of managers and agents and improved service of the
Home Office organization. The company is now more substantial in every way.
. “Cooperation, the keynote of the company, has again demonstrated tis wisdom and reward, and the people at large
are—as the company constantly plans and labors to have them be-vthe chief beneficiaries of this ‘policy of mutual
welfare. 1928 bids-fair to be the company's biggest and best year, : : “

to a certain extent; as it is true of the average voter in most localities. The South furnishes the worst example of this in the caliber of the men sent to Congress from that section. But the demagogue has some traits that appeal to the unsophisticated voters of all classes. He is frequently earnest and sometimes honest in his outgivings. He may at times live up to his promises, and endeavor to transform his preposterous ideas into actions. Hence the support given to the Thompsons, the Bleases and their like. It almost requires a popular revolution to jaf them from their hold upon the masses. If Mayor, Thompson, for instance, could be endowed with a sense of decency and a desire to give Chicago good government, he might succeed where far abler men have failed.
It remains to be seen what the warring Republican factions will do after the smoke and confusion of the primaries have cleared away. Should they carry their feuds to the polls in November the result might be to place the State in the Democratic column. In the meantime there is need for the element in favor of good government to realign their forces, so as to be able to subdue the gangsters and gunmen and restore the reign of law and order.
The results of the Chicago primary elections again demonstrated the saving quality that exists in aroused popular sentiment. It showed the power of true democracy to revolt against corrupt practices and vote for a return to better government, with better men to run it. It showed that a majority of Republican voters repudiated the alliance of corrupt politicians with the criminal underworld that had grabbed the reins of the government. In spite of the intimidation and violence, the combination formed by Mayor Thompson, State's Attorney Crowe and Governor Len Small, was defeated by an overwhelming majority and Senator Deneen emerged as successful leader of the opposition, despite bombs and machine guns.
RACE HATRED IN FILMS
The latest protest against the showing of a motion picture, because it has been made for the express purpose of inflaming hatred, was made by the United German Societies to the Motion Picture division of the State Department of Education. The film against which this protest was directed is "Dawn," an English production based on the execution by the Germans during the World War of Edith Cavell, the English nurse who helped in the escape of British soldiers from capture and imprisonment. For this military crime she was tried by German court martial and sentenced to be shot. At first, the showing of the picture was prohibited in England, in order not to disturb the friendly relations being re-established between the two countries.
The results of this political-revolution were manifold. Among other things it gave to former Governor Lowden the prestige of having the Illinois' delegation behind him as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination at Kansas City. It gave Senator Deneen a stronger standing as the leader who engineered the defeat of the combined forces of corrupt government. It eliminated Colonel Frank L. Smith as a further candidate for the United States Senate. It put an end to the domination of State's Attorney Crowe as public prosecutor and political boss and opened the way for better administration of that office in the interest of justice. Finally, it served notice upon Mayor Thompson that the people cannot be fooled all the time, by demagogic appeals and diatribes against King George and an efficient school superintendent. It was notable in this bitter primary contest that the Negro voters, notwithstanding their former support of Thompson for Mayor, could not be delivered in a body to the corrupt combination. Some of the preachers joined in the fight for good government. One Baptist minister on the Sunday preceding the primary, declaimed against rampant vice, urging that Small. Thompson and Crowe should be scourged out of politics. He said that vice in all its forms, from prostitution to gambling, is more rampant among our people than ever before in the history of the city.
The last previous, attempt to stop the showing of a film reflecting upon a particular race was made by the Irish in this city, who rose in revolt against "The Callaghans and the Murphies," or something sounding like that, which purported to picture the idiosyncracies of that pugnacious and vivacious race. We think the picture simply passed out of the popular houses after a brief run. For a long time it was the practice to portray the villain in certain American films as a Japanese spy. This was during the anti-Japanese agitation on the West coast and may have been the result of the local prejudices engendered thereby. But it has always been the custom of various countries to burlesque and ridicule on the stage the nations whom they had met or expected to meet in war. Witness the stage pictures of the British or Frenchman in this country and the stage Yankee abroad. At home this role of burlesque was also given to the Irish, the Jew and the Negro.
The first motion picture to arouse heated denunciation as a disturber of racial harmony was the infamous "Birth of a Nation," the promoters of which capitized the protests made against it by Negro churches and organizations to enable it to get front page publicity. In fact when the clamor diminished, they deliberately sought to incite such protests. This picture was really a bit of Southern propaganda, picturing the Negro and the Unionists in the worst colors possible. President Lincoln and other Union leaders were ridiculed, while the leaders of the South were glorified. While the protests against its production had some effect and it was banned in certain cities, in others it was purported to be so modified as to eliminate objectifiable features. Its success was widespread and the harm feared from its production was either less than was anticipated, or so subtle that it could not be readily determined.
It was a Negro ex-service man and attorney, who fell victim to machine gun assassins, because he had the courage to run as a candidate for ward committee-man against one of Thompson's ward bosses. He was the only martyr to the cause of good government, although there was plenty of violence that did not result in killings. Granady, the slain candidate, had made his campaign on the plea to "end the rule by brute force" imposed upon the ward by the white leader, and for the colored voters to elect a leader from their own numbers. His life paid for his revolt against the rule of the machine, while one of his companions was wounded.
Considerable criticism was made of the Negro voters of Chicago last year, when they almost solidly supported Thompson for Mayor. Such atrabilious publications as the New York Evening Post pointed to their action as subversive of good government and a mimeance to republican institutions, unmindful of the considerations that made Thompson their only resort in a serious situation. The Dever administration had repudiated its pledges for a fair deal and invoked a race issue in its effort for re-election. Though undisguisedly a demagogue, mayor Thompson had a reputation for fairplay and living up to his pledges. It is a trait that some demagogues possess, which might be imitated to advantage by politicians of higher pretensions. Mayor Thompson has given his colored supporters some recognition in city appointments, but the vicious conditions encouraged under his system of boss rule, had evidently alienated some of his former supporters.
It may be that the film drama is credited with a greater effect on the public mind than it is really capable of exerting. The film is said to appeal most strongly to the undeveloped mind that cannot digest the printed world but that can take in a picture. How deep or how lasting the impression made by such a showing is one of the things that the scientists have not yet measured. It may be that the influence of the films is much less than has been counted.
VIRTUE IN THE CONSTITUTION. A Federal judge in Pennsylvania, in dismissing a suit brought by the Ku Klux Klan against five former members, arranged the order as a lawless body, coming into court with "fifty hands." Hiram Wesley Evans, the imperial wizard, was held personally responsible for the fatal Carnegie riots, and the proceedings brought by the Atlanta heads of the
It has been argued by hypercritical observers that Negro voters are peculiarly susceptible to the appeals of the political agagogy. This may be true
order against the rebellious Pennsylvania members were dismissed. It was announced that further proceedings will be brought in the courts of Pennsylvania to have the charter of the klan revoked in that state.
This suit is notable for a judicial exposition of the lawless nature of the klan by a United States court presided over by Judge W. H. Seward Thompson, in which the order is held responsible for the breaking down of the fundamental principles upon which this government is founded. It is time that this phase of the klan menace was clearly recognized and unequivocally set forth by competent authority. There has been too great a disposition to ignore the serious danger to social and political institutions embodied in the klan idea, and to sneer at it as an organization of half-cracked fanatics exploited by hard-boiled leaders, whose chief interest was in collecting the ten dollars initiation fee and selling sheets and pillow cases at an exorbitant profit.
Judge Thompson showed that the klan obtained its charter for alleged eleconosynary, patriotic and other like purposes in Pennsylvania, all of which have been ignored. Instead, the order has set up and maintained a despotic rule under its chief officers, in open and flagrant violation of the Constitution and laws of the land. The testimony convinced the court that it maintained a reign of terror through its night riders, or the black robed gang, which was destructive of the public peace and order, in the western district of Pennsylvania. The judge concluded with this seathing review of the evidence:
"In view of all the facts disclosed by the evidence, the plaintiff corporation, stigmatized as it is by its unlawful acts and conduct, could hardly hope for judicial assistance in a court of the United States, which is highly commissioned to extend to all litigants before it, without distinction of race, creed, color or condition, those high guarantees of liberty and equality vouchsided by the Constitution of the United States. A court of law has the power to jiggle jiggle jiggle freedom as the first fruits of our civilization; to secure to every accused the right to full knowledge of the accusation against him, and a fair and impartial trial of the issue, before a jury of his peers. A court which fully recognizes that this is a Government of law and not of men, and that no man shall be deprived of his life, his liberty or his property without due process of law. This unlawful organization, so destructive of the rights and liberties of the people, have come in right asking his court of equity for injunctive or other relief. They fiftly hands and can get no assistance here. Plaintiff's prayers for relief are denied and the bill is dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff.
The effect of this decision is to outlaw the klan in the courts of the United States, as it has already been outlawed in the courts of those states which have recognized its purposes as being subversive of all organized government. The courts of New York State, under the Walker act, banned the klan as an unlawful organization in this state, unless it complied with the law by filing a list of its members with the Secretary of State. County prosecutors were authorized to proceed against the organizers who failed to comply with the law. And yet the klan members in an outlying borough were found imminently going before a grand ury, seeking to punish the police authorities who prevented them from thrusting themselves into a Memorial Day parade.
There is need for more judges like Judge Thompson, who believe in the Constitution and find in it authority to uphold law and order and to denounce and punish lawless men and organizations who violate its provisions. There is still force and power in the Constitution, if the courts will uphold it in word and spirit. In all our efforts to seek the enforcement of human rights, we must not fail to invoke the virtue inherent in the Constitution.
WIFE-BEATING IN LIB" RIA
It seems a long way to travel for redress, to bring a case of alleged wifebeating in Liberia, the far-off republic on the West coast of Africa, to the Superior Court in Bridgeport, Connecticut, but that was the plea upon which an American woman asked for a divorce from her British husband, former vice consul at Monrovia. In the account of the action brought by Mrs. Mills, as reported in a special dispatch to the New York World, there occurred a passage based on Mrs. Mills' testimony, which looked like a covert reflection on people and customs of the country to which the plaintiff's husband was an accredited representative. It ran as follows
Liberia, Said Mrs. Mills, is almost exclusively a Negro country. She said women must be at all times protected, but her husband tried to degrade and humiliate her before other whites, and before Negroes. He often took her bathing suit when she wished to go for a swim, she said.
Now, if this is intended to imply that there is a special need of protection for women because of the fact that Liberia is almost exclusively a Negro country, it is opposed to all the accounts brought back by the number of women explorers, both American and European, who have

Many of these have depended entirely upon the native hunters and bearers as their sole guides and protectors, and all of them have testified to the fidelity of the service and protection they have received.

Our Easter Promenade
I wonder the breezes of lower Fifth avenue, or the Atlantic City boardwalk blow on more color, class, and natural beauty than those of Seventh avenue, between 125th and 145th streets, on Easter Sunday.
My I but how the sun did shine and the colored folk strut Brownsville on a cent white and 99 9-10 white, Brown, black, gray and blue eyes dancing for the sure-joy of living.
Someone has said that a race never rises any higher than its womanhood, but certainly to the casual observer our women had reached the peak for the day, and the close fitting hats of tan, beige, black, green, gray and red. Mostly plain with a ribbon band, only a few flowers in evidence on the head-dress. The spring coats were predominately tan, with gray, black and brown mixed in hire and wool. The glorious spring sunshine could not coax out beautiful winter caracul, raccoon, squirrel, and muskrat coats. But the fashion was chiefly shown by those wearing the lighter weight spring coats, for the most part tailored, straight, with deep collars, and deep fur cuffs.
For the most part, unless you called on Mrs. Hightower, etc., for tea, you only got fleeting glimpses of delicately made dresses of green red, blue, rose, navy, orchid, black and white. If you wee in on a select tea you observed the cut to be long tight sleeves, a circular trend to the dress that came to the knees or an inch below, showing the beautiful hosiery in gum-metal, rose and gold colors, and gray. Finally fitting pumps of snakeskin, gray, black, tan, beige and a few red, a single strap buttoning, on the side, with high heels carrying the day.
Of course our men were there; In fact, had some of their employers come to Harlem they would have sworn wages are entirely too much for their brown and gray, with the new shade of green leading slightly. The Kampus at 1515 street and Seventh avenue showed small brins either 'snapped or curled, tipped slightly to the left. The top ed patterns, ulster or form fitting, either of which were well below the knees. Their scarfs were mostly in stripes, with the more sporty wearing solidly blazing designs to match their dress pocket handkerchiefs. The shirts were either white, pale green, or some other solid color.
The suits were of brown, blue, gray, or mixed, with one, two or three buttons. Most of our men wore the three buttoned effect with medium sized lapels and eighteen-inch trousers just dipping to the chest as they strunged by Oxford's in brothel as well as with flat heels, with narrowing toes. There were a few who looked snappy in the tapering heels on foreign make shoes. But pray do not let me forget those "Dapper Dan"s who sported afternoon frocks with their big white and pink carnations, while they swung their brown, light tan, and black dresses. Thus the elites of Harlem were strutting by on Easter Sunday laughing, calling, whirling, humming, and talking.
Randolph Answers Vann
Editor of THE NEW YORK ACA.
In an open letter to the Pullman porters and maids by Robert L. Vann, carried in the Pittsburgh Counter of April 14, he says that there must be some reason why the Pullman Company, for almost two years, has refused to negotiate with the porters led by Mr. Randolph, who is led and reasoned. It is plain and simple. The reason that the Pullman Company is not going to deal with the porters and maids, lead by Randolph or anybody else, until it is compelled to deal with them Anyone with the slightest knowledge of American labor history knows this. This is nothing strange and it requires no seer to see it. This procedure is adopted by all employers, with their employees, to organize and their employees seek to organize, and this procedure is adopted without regard to race or color, religion or politics.
O. H. Waron, president of the International Machinist Union, just a week ago wrote me that the Shop Crafts Workers are having the same trouble with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Gels are among the same trouble the Texas and Southern Pacific Railroad Company So there is good reason why anyone should get excited over the fact that this fight has taken over two years. The Pullman conductors, who are already organized, have been fighting over two years for a wage increase and just got there. There are also companies that have fought over ten years before they were able to meet a single representative of their company. Mr. Vann states further that friends have talked with me, including himself, telling me that the company objects to dealing with me because of my history in
announced she would moonen trust her daughter's morals to remain uncontaminated in the jungles of Africa than in the centres of European or American civilization. Allowance must probably be made for the state of mind of the wife of a British vice consul, who feels compelled to sue for a divorce, and who probably had no pleasant memories of the country where she suffered the humiliation she charged.
this country as a socialist and a radical.
In the first place, nobody has ever made this statement to me except Mr. Vann. What friends he has in mind I don't know. In the second place, what is the reason for this sudden alarm by Vann for him using a Social? He says that American capital has fused to deal with socialists and socialistic organizations in this country. Of course this is not true, but granting that it is. Did he know this when he began supporting the Brotherhood two years ago? If so, why didn't he, in the interest of the porters and maids, expose this dangerous nightmare? Why did he support the Liberator two years, led by a Socialist, so long says, American capital has refused to deal with such organizations.
There is a certain colored gentleman in the woodside somewhere, and the Brotherhood will smoke him out before this fight is over. Now, M. Vann admits that he knew that I was a Socialist two ages ago, or a says he history, a Socialist and a radical and that Owen and myself bragged about . . . it. Obviously, either Mr. Vann must plead guilty to having misled the poters for two years into believing that they could win, even when led by a Socialist and a radical or that that LEFT him in discovery that the Pullman Company would not deal with the porters under my leadership is not his discovery, though he pretends that it is. Whatever condition obtains, disqualifies him from assuming the role of an adviser to the porters and maids as to any kind of leadership. His own statement indicted himself of being guilty of either of being guilty or insincerity, either one of which renders him inscrutely.
He says further that it is known on good authority that the Pullman Company will deal with the porters and maids to pick up aside. I have seen no evidence of any such alleged good authority. We have only Mr. Vann's word for it, which recent developments cause us to question. What reason has the Brotherhood to assemble Mr. Vann's word for himself? How knows that he represents the Pullman Company? Assuming that the Company has sold Vann that it will deal with the porters if I resienst what reason have we for believing that the company would keep its porters in touch with us. Mostly in practice.
Furthermore, Mr. Vann says that the porters are licked; then why would the Company deal with them under another's leadership if they are licked? The Polkham Company is not afraid to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars over two or more years to build the Brotherhood of Skiping Car Porters and then turn around and recognize and sign an agreement with it if it has succeeded in heating the Brotherhood, which it started out to do. The company wants the Employees Representation Plan, not the Brotherhood. Therefore, if it can back the Brotherhood it will be able to plan upon the porters and maids.

Back At Crosswaith
Editor of the New York Age:
In the issue of the Age of April,

A. P. Condy. Now, just a few lines to Mr. Crosswash and
his master organizer. First, I wish
he understood what I wrote.
Again I will write it so he may
understand. The formatting of the
text and the abolishing of
tips. Listen, anybody can ask for
more play. He gives no concrete
fact. If he did not understand
what he read, I again will try and
make it plain. Let the porter give
the tips back to each person offering it, and let him, the porter, in a nice way tell the giver that he
should do better. The derail of it S. C. P. of which
this man seems proud to sign to his
mans as "Special Organizer."
I hope he gets some thrill out of the name he applies to me. "Uncle Remus." He has not offended me. My mother, told me I should always remember that the nature of the beast is no fault of the animal. You conclude by attacking the man, the ex-nortier who did his best as he saw things, like a good many other parters who try to do the best they can.
Mr. Crusrosswaith starts to close his scanty comedy by saying that the company may reward me by giving me a chance to sell hot dogs. Well, I am like a pool player. If its my turn I will chalk my cue and shoot. It looks to me like an absolute honest living. Luke 6:27, 28 say, "He loves you. Love you enemies, do good to them which hate you. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despairfully use you."
I wish Mr. Crosswath and his organization whatever luck is in needing to be needed in all my life with similar bodies and today I know of only
Quoting from an address, of F. B. Ransom, manager of the C. J. Walker Company, that "until the race learns to spend its own dollar there will be no avenues of employment for Negro students graduating from the schools and colleges", the Cleveland Call and Post said: On all sides it is evident that the Negro is being pushed aside when seeking employment of a preferred kind. The only hope left to him is to provide such employment here, the use of his dollar comes into play. There is no question but that the Negro race as a 'group here in our city comes into possession daily of more than $100,000. Allowing an expenditure of say $75,000 of this money daily, what might not be plished through diversion of the returning $25,000 daily into business operated by Negroes?
No stretch of the imagination is needed to picture the remarkable things which Negro citizens of Cleveland could do through: use of such a sum. Instead of having an Empire Savvies and Loan Company with assets of $180,000, we should have a half dozen such companies with assets upwards of a half million dollars each. Instead of having one such institution, Finance, we should have perhaps, a dozen such. Instead of having The Crusaders Mutual, The Anchor Life, and other such insurance companies with comparatively a small percentage of the insurance written upon the lives of members of our group, we should have several outstanding companies.
The question of economic advancement is pushing itself to the front in all directions as the pressing need of the race. Out of all this discussion some practical solution is bound to come.

The Ian placed on the presentation of "Lulu Belle" in Boston, by a Republican mayor, was pronounced "a mixture of morals and politics" by Variety, a New York' theatrical journal. The Boston Chronicle, however, sees a challenge to Negro writers in the plays written by Southern white dramatists. It said:
In "Lulu Belle" we have a treatment of a Negro prostitute; in "The Emperor Jones" we have an uneducated porter with greatness thrust upon him; in "Porg" we have Cattarston Row, supposed to be a part of Charleston, S. C., where "trassy" Negroes dwell in ramshackle houses. None of these plays, none of the other so-called plays of the life of Negro rebelish, law-abiding, larnest, intelligent, hard-working, healthy, clean Negroes.
The challenge to Nero writes is to write plays that will truly delight the life of a race of twelve million human beings. If the sword is to be denied it must be denied secondarily. It must not be the whole Nero family's theatre. A decent Nero family should be shown; the father and mother who have worked hard to give their children the education that was denied them. Sooof a family must Negro writers do it. It is imperative that they do so when the comedicity of white American White American has a tendency to bundle all Neroess college presidents as well as lowballs into one category: "first migrants."
The authentic pictures of Negro life which the Boston editor would like to have presented on the stage must possess dramatic possibilities in order to find producers. The modern stage is largely devoted to plays depicting soridal and criminal careers or sexual problems. Plays dealing with Negroes have had to conform to these requirements.
A news item from Annapolis, Md., in the Baltimore Herald Commonwealth conveys a warning to inconstant whos who change their minds before the marriage ceremony. It read:
Amphisphus, Md.-Louis Butler, of this city, popped the question, Miss Reatrice Colbert said yes, received a handsome diamond engagement ring from Butler as an evidence of good faith and commenced collecting her trousseau. To her chirquin, however, Butler changed his mind, and on last Wednesday recalled the invitations, telling the young woman that it was "all off". Worse, he demanded the return of the ring. Miss Colbert returned the heart that was in her feet, but the heart her fighter she decided to keep Butler, because angered and attuned to remove the leaver by Grouble means' Justice John W. Anderson was called in as refuge and gave a decision against the foe's Butler, further fitting him $475 and scoring him for his poor sportsmanship.
The tenacity of the courts shows days is to regard the engagement ring as the property of the wearer and to deny the donor any right to recover it regardless of how or why the engagement was broken. Thrirsty suitors should take notice and accept a possible loss with equanimity.

means of a correspondence course inaugurated by the National Baptist Publishing Board's plant at Nashville, was described in the Nashville Globe as follows:
In keeping with the well established policy of the institution, which was founded here some years ago by the late Dr. R. H. Boyd, a correspondence course was added to the editorial department and a dean for this course selected to prepare the lessons and conduct the course by himself. As soon as the announcement was made the registration began. Hundreds of inquiries have been poured into this particular department in a large registration. Four distinct courses for ministers and three separate courses for Sunday School teachers are given. The lessons are so simplified that a second grade grammar school pupil can attend the course and be helped in his religious training, encouragement of those who have succeeded made the various courses will be made at the coming session of the Sunday School Congress at Louisville during the month of June. In addition to this, a five days' lecture course will augment one of the sessions or departments of the Congress and can afford pursued their studies and can afford to attend the Congress will be given what is commonly termed a post course without extra charge.
To carry this movement a step further, the congregations to which these correspondence school graduates will minister, will probably attend church services over the radio Suelt is the march of progress.
Under the heading of "The Paradox" the editor of the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch ventured the opinion that "prejudice is a funny thing." He continued.
Perhaps this was not prejudice, it could have been a case of wearing your feelings on your hands, it is easy susceptible to touch. Many rate, a business friend of mine came in the office yesterday and said he noticed Ed Gardner of Seattle Negro runner in the Los Angeles to New York Marathon, was leading eighty-five competitors when he reached Old Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico.
"What I have noticed in the last two days," said our friend, "the papers first carried Gardner in all of the articles published about the race Gardner, Negro of Seattle. Since Gardner, Negro of Seattle, these same papers have dropped the word 'Negro' and it is now only 'Ed Gardner.' The question of his race seems to haveunk into insignificance and humankindiality." The disposition of white publications enassemble all that is good about Negroism and its notoriety true. While there is a large number of white journals who assume a liberal attitude towards the black man (and their number is (growine), in a while the average white journal is guilty of a new friend subsumes—williness to give the Negro his just deserts.
White journals that deliberately bar from their columns the virtues of black folks, are, with malka afternoon, assisting to persecute this ignorance about aid of Negroes. We want to get back to our friend's query. Ell Gardner should have started and ended running Ell Gardner, Negro of Seattle, he should either win or lose with that title.
Notwithstanding the truth of all this, there is a decided growth of fairness and liberality in the white press. One of the latest dailies to capitalize the term Negro, when used as a race designation, is the Raleigh News, Observer, the organ of Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy.
Commenting on the order of Secretary Hoover, abiding servicemen in the Department of Commerce, the Washington Lady said.
What Mr. Hoover has done in his department all of the other of other officers could do were they so equipped. The only difference between them and Mr. Hoover is that he has the necessary backbone to do the right things. Mills and Woollock have the moral courage to do the right thing when their attention is called to New York. Mills is a lawyer in New York where there is virtually no segregation, could easily have issued an order abolishing segregation in the department where he is Mr. Melton's subordinate, Mr. Mills is the man who was defeated by Governor Smith, and after his defeat was one of the lame ducks, who was taken care of by President Coolidge. His record on segregation is very good, haunt him should he be allowed to work in New York where there is independently inclined voters of it racial group.
Hubert Work, whose testmaster to those who call at the Interior Department is another who has failed to break down segregation in the department. Mr. Hower is hardcapped by having Work both in his campaign councils. In Mr. Hower does not unload Work he will do him irreparable harm in his campaigns for the Presidential nomination. If he was acustomed to young people in Colorado, he would such rough methods of deportation in the East. That Mr. Hower will make Work Republican in National Chairman in the event of the nomination of Mr. Hower the nomination will start with a bond up that it will be hard to touch. Hubert Work should be thrown off the Hower hand was and out of the councils of the party.
Now is the time to put on record those Republican officials who have perpetrated the racial discrimination handed down from a Southern Democrat administration.

Her remarks were base principally on the Zird Psalm. It was pathhear and heart touching to listen to Mrs. Peters as she portrayed how the Lord had led her and her husband to carry the message of the risen Saviour. The musemage given by the Oliver Cross at Zird was in many appreciations to those who attended. The artists were generous and entertained audience in a most pressing manner.

Grace Church of Harlem
Grace Church was still warm over the results of the previous Sunday's achievement. The Easter tide was a great event, and at the post-Easter services, there is a claw of reflection from the meetings that have taken place. Last Sunday morning he filled the passion by being baked 24-11 as a text. His theme was "Seeing God in Every Experience". This sermon was an exquisite one from any standpoint viewed. The preacher was calm, natural and earnest; and he interpreted the Scriptures and drew appropriate lessons with clearness and interest. He was the churchers and the unchurched was irresistible. The response was not unanimous but gradual, and before the strains of the choir died away these stood before the people the following perslion: Ellison Froneer, Edward, Ford, Mrs. Oscar Galloway, Mrs. Mrs Olive Garrett, Mrs. Fanny Green, Alonzo Lee, Eudora Sims, William Wilhelm, Sims, Mrs. Jenne Sanderlin, theologist Roane.

While the major things in the way of getting the church building going have been done, yet the trustees and the pastor are keen busy meetings, committee meetings, hurry calls for this and that, allow no grass to grow under their feet. 'And' yet, all the work that these men are called upon to do, is done with cheerfulness and a spirit of optimism. The actual work on the construction of the new church cilence began on Monday last, when the wreckers began their work of demolishing the houses that stood on the plot where the church will stand. So rapidly these houses were demolished Saturday nearly all that portion of the buildings that is to be torn down, was down. This rapidity of the builders causes the pastor and trustees, with the building committee, to turn about in a hurry to lay ready for the corner-stone laying. Their experts to make this a big event.
The spirit that the church now has will enable it to carry forward all that it has undertaken. The present pastor, Rev H. Arthur Booker, has been with the church nearly 22 years, during which time he has seen the church altered from a mere church edifice, the church property paid for, and the expenditure of thousands of dollars in improvements on the property; and yet, in all this time, with the things done, he has never seen the spirit of earnestness, "helpfulness and cooperation that is evident at the present time. B. P. U. and prayer expresses his deep love and life of Deacon Lively and sister Sykes led a lively covenant meeting. Friday night, and the pastor "continued covenant Sunday morning. The Sunday School convented, and although there was a feeling of sadness at the proactive loss of one of its best workers, Carry Lang, assistant superintendent, the lesson the diarist was well informed to sister Lane, and other important matters looked after.
In the afternoon the Missionsary Society held its usual meeting and there was great rejoicing. The pastor brought a burning message at on "Christ In His Specific Character." The text: "Build the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world." Next Sunday the pastor promises to preach morning and evening.

ALDERMAN FRED R. MOORE AND AN AGE REPORTER VISIT WELFARE ISLA WORKHOUSE AND INSPECT CONDIT
The material tomcat asks whether the accountant must look for a lawyer. The plant is sufficiently striking to be for an one man to bring about. But satisfactory and encouragement as this is, it is but an imperfect and annual tuning out of two or three hundred youths, men and women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most difficult task. The plant is to be used by the lawyer and sought to do. This purpose was to radiate from a circle like Tuxedo the light of the somely but ever living truths which must form the basis of justice upon the court. AM I OWARD YAHL
By LUDLOW W. WERNER
Often, while hearing prisoners sentenced to jail, I have wondered just what the prisoner was subjected to and what would he do to better his condition. On Friday, April 13, my wish was granted, and with Alderman Fred R. Moore, received permission to inspect the Workhouse, Welfare Island.
Welfare Island is perhaps one of the easiest places to reach, but is equally as difficult to escape from. I was reached by either ferry from 86th street, or by the Queensboro Bridge at 95th street.
When we reached the Workhouse and House of Detention for women our passes were presented and we were admitted. Warden Henry O. Schleth, being extremely busy at our arrival, sent word to the keeper to show us around the building through a door, carefully looking behind us, and explained that one of the rules was to lock all doors.
- Visitors Had To Register
We were then taken to a desk where a matron had us register in the visitor's book. She explained the procedures and signatures of many visitors from all over the world. Having registered, the keeper took us to the cell room where we were lined up colors and nationalities were lined up double file, and were orderly.
The keeper explained the lineup, saying that the men were drug addicts and were undergoing examination and treatment. He demeaned the Narcissus treatment was the most serious discovery of recent years. The men, as soon as they are arrested and found to be dope friends, are removed from all possibility of getting drugs. Generally the adductor use to eat or do anything in their hands during the second day after their arrest that are started on the Narcissus. This is a vegetable compound which when injected by hypodermic into the arm, causes a reaction and makes the addict lose his craving. Our next trip was to inspect the men's cells. Some were dirty and unkempt, but others were kept as neatly as any woman could keep one. The cells were all light and airy an dwere all neatly whitewash, the keeper explained that although the woman one it was first class in its treating and handling of the inmates:
Some Drug Addicts
On the top tier of the men's cells, we were let through a gate and were cordially received by a physician. In another room, he were the new inmates who were there for him. The were eating their first meal after being arrested and were soon to be put under the Narcosan. One of the prisoners game over to the keeper and asked for his old job the keeper said that he was an old keeper and asked the man what he had been arrested again for. The prisoner explained, that two days after he had been released he had met up with some other addicts and they produced some drugs and took them he could not resist the temptation.
Retracing our steps, the keeper took us to the matron, who had registered us in the visiting book she had given us. Our next trip was through the kitchen where for the first time we were to see the women inmates. This was lunch time and the prisoners—they were colored—were in prison feed. The kitchen was spacious. Adjining room, the officers and prison officials were being fed. From the kithen and dungal hall our next trip was to the laundry. We all needed to another matron who told us that as the women were brought to the prison they were brought to her, and all their valuables were taken for sale keeping. In another room, the prisoner is given a pair of slippers. We were brought to her contact with the world at large is removed. Her clothes are taken away and stored until her release. Then the prisoner is taken to the shower room where she
evening in May and continuing until the last Sunday in June a vespere service will be held each Sun day evening from 6 to 7 o'clock The Church 'Session will have charge of the services during the month of May and the board of trustees during the month of June
must thoroughly cleanse.
After the bath, she is given prison clothes, and from laundry receives blankets, and other necessary bedding.
From this part of the prison were taken to the women' sion. Here one could get a idea as to what sort of person inmate had been in the women's cells, the women' s were all neatly white. Some of the cells had two women were for just a single, There was one cell which me in particular. It contained single bed. There was a small on the floor. The inmate was particular, judging from here. There was a pretty window, the window, the neatly made up and the beds were neatly folded up on the foot of the bed.
Women Allowed To Smile
From there we went upstairs saw the women congregated together in one of the dormitories. Some of them were, as they explained to us, they were allowed to smoke in of their recreation. There were cases at that time of women addicts, as they had just, the last case the day before, of the women we saw, for the first time. There were more than 400 inmates, the matron told us the 'percentage of Negro prizes was slightly more than 50 per cent. Our next trip was down to office, where Warden Henry S. Smith worked the conditions in the World. The majority of the women, he said, were only there, because they had no one to guide. He said that when they are released from the prison, they that embody do not waste women who have in jail.
The problem is a mighty blight
the Warden said. He called
matron and told her to bring
five colored women who had
been in the office, he questioned the
office, he questioned the wives
and asked how long they had
taking drugs before they were
the Narcosan treatment. Once
the women said she had had
drug addict for seventeen
another for seven years; one
ten years; another five
the last for two and a half year.
Welcome Home Party
One of the women had recently been released but had not the Warden's warning. When she explained that many of the friends she gave them parties upon their areal home, and that very often happened that their company disorderly houses. The women we were talking to was given a record for taking them and the house was raided after she reached there. While perhaps did not commit any offense, still she was found in an orderly house, and having a pr record for taking drugs, and having she was sent into the Island. The warden said that much can be done, not while the prisoners in jail—as the prison officer also each case all the attention is sery while the women are in jail—but as soon as the women are released agencies could help to remedy the maladjustment.
An" organization which "won make it their business to see that the released women are placed in the care of a woman is necessary, said the wardens, move in that direction is now being made and the plan is to have paid social worker give a help hand to women after they are leased and try to remove them from the environment, prove detrimental to their interest and to help adjust them by giving them jobs.
For all stomach and intestinal troubles and disturbances due to teething, there is nothing better than a safe Infants' and Children's Laxative.

Bill Comedy, former second baseman for the Harrisburg Giants, who was born the Lincoln's this season by the Eastern League, was the player named for the two Hilldale stars.

Charlotte, N. C.-Easter Monday, April 9, 10,000 baseball fans sat in the chilly stands' at Wearn Field and watched Coach Scales' "Rampant Bulls" of Johnson C. Smith University beat Livingstone College of Salisbury in the South's greatest sport classic.
Lymont Yokeley, famous Baltimore Black Sox-Pitcher, was on the mound for Livingstone, while "Bun" Hayes, who has no big league record, did the job for Smith. From the very outset it was seen that a pitcher's-hattle was on, and such it was. Yokeley went along nicely until the seventh when Coach Scales changed his tactics by applying an assortment of inside tricks which resulted in two hits and three runs for Smith. Hayes weakened slightly in the eighth, and after allowing Berry to walk, sent one in the groove to McCormick who drove it far over the left field wall for a homer, and his third hit of the day. Berry went home ahead of Mack, bringing the score to three all. But this lasted only short minute, because Tucker Smith's hit of the eighth by driven pitching fell within the center field fence. McKeithan followed with a triple to the same section; scoring Tucker; Haves came through with a long, sacrifice fly, scoring McKeithan and ending the scoring for the day. Livingstone threatened a rally in the ninth after two were out, Crockett singled to left field, Gibson followed with a single to right, but Hayes nipped it in the bid by retiring Holland at first unassisted and ending the game.
McCormick was the batting hero of the day. His homer in the eighth almost wrecked the stands. The fielding of Biggs, Walker, Horne, and Caldwell caused many thrills McDowell and Tucker also flashed brilliantly at their respective jobs. But the greatest thrills of the day were furnished by the pitcheres themselves. Yokeley, famous Eastern League Star facing Hayes, Smith's ace. Each with a game apiece to his credit in the two previous classics in which they have met, (Hayes winning in 1926 and Yokeley thing the score in 27), both giving every inch of themselves in an effort to take the odd game. Straining muscles, heaving chests, a drama in the world of baseball, two stars fighting for ascendancy which must mean a saddened heart to the loser. Yet when these two heroes shook hands across the mound at the close of the game, tears fell from the eyes of both, Hayes in sympathy, Yokeley in sorrow, two geniuses of baseball, America's greatest game. In spite of the continually lowering clouds and an occasional mist of rain, the fans sat until the end of the 9th and went home satisfied that they had witnessed the greatest game in the history of classic. Clean comradely sportmanship was displayed by supporters of both teams with much evidence of the good feeling which exists between these two great southern, colleges. "It happened thus."

Palmer Institute To
Greenboro, N. C.-Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, founder and principal of the Palmer Memorial Institute, left here Friday, April 6, with the school quartet and eight or ten students, for Boston, where the school presented a pageant in Symphony Hall, in interest of the school, on Monday night, April 16. Dr. A. M. Rivera left Monday morning with his wife and several students and teachers, by automobile, for Boston. The pageant pictured the beginning, the growth and the success which has come to Palmer Memorial Institute. It was reported here that all of the tickets of admission had been sold before the school folks, left for Boston.
"Old Ironsides" At The Douglass Theatre
James Cruze's "Old Ironsides," which comes to the Douglas Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Moody might truly be called a picture of miracles. Although ten thousand people were engaged during the filming of the Pramount photoplay, not a single serious injury marred the making of the production. All the more astounding is this, when it is considered that "Old Ironsides" is declared to have more thrills and more intense action than any other picture ever produced.
Following is a list of some of the close calls experienced while the picture was being made:
Eight sailing vessels were sunk in a terrific storm off Cape Hatteras while towing them to the Pacific coast for use in the photoplay. No lives were lost in the storm.
Three masts snapped aboard the frigate "Constitution," when the ship was caught in a heavy, ground swell. One of the yard-arms, weighing eight-hundred pounds, landed but a few feet from Director Cruze, Eather Ralston, Wallace Beery, George Bancroft, Charles Farrell and Johnnie Walker.
The entire company was lost at sea in a storm for seventy-one hours. Six cannons exploded when overenthusiastic gunners filled them with overcharges of powder during the terrific battle sequences.
Protest Mass Meeting In Brooklyn Next Sunday
Plans are complete for the mass meeting under the auspices of the Brooklyn Branch of the N. A. A. C. to be held at the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, April 22, at 3:30 p. m. Interest in the meeting has been increased on account of the recent episode arising out of the investigation of the killing of a colored man, known as a religious fanatic, but whom the police claim was a burglar suspect. Eight organizations and clubs are cooperating with the committee of arrangements, headed by N. Barnett Dodson. Dr. Edward E. Tylter, pastor of the church, will deliver the welcome address. The chief speaker will be James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. Mrs. Beatrice Watson, president of the Beezie Fine Arts Clubs, and Alexander Gatewood tenor, will be soloists of the meeting and the Bridge Street Church choir under Prof. Pollock will render several anthems. President O. D. Williams will preside.

To Give Up Athletics
Tuskegee Institute; Ala—(Athletic News Bureau) Ernest T. Bailey, the plunging halfback of the Tuskegee football team, who was one of the Tigers' pitching mainstays last year, will not be able to participate in baseball this season, it was announced by Cleve L. Abbott, director of athletics. Bailey is acting major in the cadet regiment and has numerous other extra curricular duties which will consume his time, so he had to give up his baseball aspirations.
Fletcher Henderson
There comes a time in every reviewer's life when the English language fails him in his efforts to do justice to a particularly inspiring show. This is the case now when attempting to describe Leonard Harper's new revue hit, "Jazz Fantasy" which opened a week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre Monday. And the trouble arises from the fact that the greatest of all bands—Fletcher Henderson's Roseland Orchestra—weaves such an entrancing spell about the revue that one feels as if he were treading on air and had adequately describe his feelings. Dancers and did their bits, daughter and storms of applause greeted the comedians, tambourines and symbols clashed, beautiful chorus girls went through stirring formations—and throughout it all Henderson's master musicians wove a spell of wonderful music—dance music, jazz music, classical airs!
Nor must it be imagined for a moment that the other artists did not come in for their share of the applause. Indeed, one of the surprising things about this week's show at the Lafayette is that in addition to having Henderson's not come in for their share of the revue is the finest that has been gathered into a single program in many, many months. This cast includes: Wilton Crawley, King of the Clarinet, Andrew Trible, the most famons of the female impersonators, Willie Jackson, the mainstay of Connie's Inn Revue; Earnest Whitman, well-known character actor and singer, Villa and Martinez, famous Spanish actors, making their farewell appearance at the Lafayette and a host of other popular artists. And then there is the chorus—twelve Harper picked beauties—and Harper is known the country over for his selection of beautiful and talented chorus girls. As a mixture of wonderful music, side splitting comedy, splendid dancing and beautiful girls, this week's show at the Lafayette stands at the very top of musical comedy revues.

Ibsen's "Doll House"
Given By Va. Students
Petersburg, Va.—On Monday, April 9, the students of the college department of Virginia State College skillfully performed Ibsen's drama, "The Doll's House," under direction of Miss Otelia Shields, a professor of the English Department. The students who acted the respective characters of this play, were thoroughly trained. The central thought, the equality of women with men, was cleverly interpreted.
The feature photoplay for the week is Harold Bell Wright's famous story: "The Shepherd of the Hills". This is a gripping story of love, adventure, intrigue and Faith in the Almighty The action is laid in the Kentucky Hills. Molly O'Day star of "The Patent Leather Kid" and Alec B.

Talladega Splits Series With Morehouse Nine
Talladega, Ala.—Talladega splits twin bill with Morehouse losing first game 2-4 and winning second 10-9 in eleven innings on April 12 and 13. Forbes was easily the star of the first session allowing only four scattered hits. In the second clash Talladega started off the first frame by making four runs and sending Baker to the showers. Morehouse came back in the third with one and four in fourth while Talladega annexed one more in the third. From then on it was a nip and tuck battle with first one team ahead and then the other until the eleventh inning. Morehouse came to bat in their half of the eleventh and untied the score, making it 9-8 in their favor and were confident that one run would do. But Talladega came back in their half with three hits by Avery, Hamilton and Mahone, assisted by a wild throw by L. Jones of Morehouse and put the game on ice with two runs.

The Hall Johnson. Negro Choir made what was termed by the radio people its first appearance on the air, when they supplied an hour's performance, for 16, for the General Motors Family Park, supported by a concert orchestra under direction of Roderie Graham, and the Goldman Band with Edwin Frank. Goldman copied the music of the numbers by the singers alone, with a bango orchestra, and with the concert orchestra and band.

HAMPTON CHOIR WINS APPLAUSE IN DEBUT HERE
The remarkable Hampton Institute Choir, conducted by R. Nathasiel Dett, appeared Monday night in Carnegie Hall for its first New York concert, given under the direction of the Friends of 6 Music. The program was devoted to religious numbers, including sixteenth and seventeenth century music, three Russian anthems, works by Lily Strickland and Noble, Negro spiritualists, and works by Dett, and a closing group by Dr. Dett expressing "the Negro idiom in motets and anthems."
The singing Negroes from Virginia gave an impressive performance, accompanied throughout, and without any apparent instrumental aid in setting the pitch at the beehive, a technical technique is unusually sure and skillful, with an absolute precision of attack shown at the start when Dr. Dett began the concert immediately upon reaching the rostrum. There was notable unity in the vocal execution, tone marked by staccato smoothness and praiseworthy depth and color, and a general sense in the work of the singers of intentness and devotion to their art. A few occasional imperfections, such as top notes when the quality of tone fell below the pitch, are not uncommon exception to the usual rule of accuracy to the pitch proved unimportant.
Most of Program In English
After Arcadelt's "Ave Maria," the program was in English. The second number, Campion's "By the Streams of Babylon," was enced, and the singers found sympathetic by Tchakovsky, Russian numbers by Tchakovsky, and Lovsky, whose "Lord, Have Mercy," made familiar by Mr. Bikichalch's Russion Symphonic Choir, also scored a repetition. Russian vocal organizations, it was noted, at Hampton Institute. In this group, the-basses reached what seemed a Slavic depth in their lowest notes. "I Strickland's 'Nouvie, Hear Us,'" the director of the national hymn, was less well, performed in the predecessors, white Noble's "Fierce 'Was' the Wild Billow" went very well. The men of the choir, wearing uniforms of Tchik hue, sang the two spirituals of women and women of women also gave a certain impression of uniforms.
Choruses in Negro Idiom
Dr. Dett's five-choruses, to be considered, according to his program notes, as original compositions based on the Negro idiom rather than as arrangements of spirituals or folk songs; were skillfully written in a thoroughly offering a test well met by his singers, and interesting as examples of this folk material used as a basis for left, scholarly, sometimes intricate, choral writing. The general result was effective, "Oh, Hear the Lambs Aeryng" and "Listen to the Lambs" were among the most expressive numbers of the song. E. Reginald Swain sang his solos with a fine quality of tone. Mercer Bratcher also did commendable solo work, and the women soloists, Dorothy Mainton, Gertrude Martin, Ruby Truchart and Alice Mullen, sang with an expressive quality which characterized the whole. The Haniportians were applauded at length and called on for extra numbers.
Mme. Lavinia Hunter Returns After Concert Tour of Western Cities
Mine. Lavinia Hunter, well-known concert singer, and manager of the Hunter Beauty Parlor on Seventh avenue, returned home Thursday; April 5, after a successful concert tour of the Pacific Coast, which lasted five months and took in most of the principal cities.
Mine Hunter scored her greatest triumph in San Francisco on March 22, when she directed the First A. M. E. Zion Church choir to third place victory in the Northern California Colored Choir Contest, which was participated in by the best choirs of San
Francone and vicinity. Roy Harrington Danforth, music editor of the Oakland Daily Tribune, was the chief judge.
The contest was held in the city Auditorium before an audience of 6000 music lovers, about half of whom were white. The 1st A. M. Hall concert "Couldn't Nobody Pray" with Mme. Hunter singing the solo part, as well as directing.
She also found time to promote the interest of her system of beauty culture while on the coast, establishing a beauty parlor in San Francisco. She will continue, in association of Mrs. F. B. White; as manager of the Hunter Beauty Parlor.
The Martin-Smith Music School, Inc. will give its 21st annual recital and dance on Friday evening, May 11 at New Manhattan Casino. As usual there will be many interesting features on the program. Edward Margeston, the distinguished pianist, and recent winner of one of the Harmon prizes will play the Mendelsohn Concerto with the orchestra.

Aient the rumored colored local, we are in receipt of a letter from Messrs. Bert Hall and Ford, Daneh which clearly dispels any idea that it is their effort to form a colored local.
The writer is inclined to the belief that a colored local could not be obliterated in New York. This belief is based on the known feet of the artist whose work was deceased made an effort in that direction and was dissuaded, or saw the fulfilment of his efforts, and thus gradually drafted his men' intp Local 310, which was the predecessor of the 'present' Local 802. At that time Jim was well supplied with work from the Social Register and maintained a large number of jobs as well as having several orchestras out practically each night for the elite's entertainment.
What. are the advantages, anyway, of a colored union, can you tell me?
I will endeavor, from my viewpoint, based on fact, ta. enumerate all the advantages, ta. enumerate it. It could not be self-governing to the last degree.
It could not, give its members the unlimited, area of operation they now enjoy. Under Local 802. There is a book published which shows all the locals in the U. S. A., white and colored, and on every find that every colored local has drastic restrictions placed on it as touching its sphere of operations. In other words, every colored local has a boundary line over which it cannot cross to get a job and put its musicians to work.
Can you imagine what would happen if a colored local were granted a charter and then its musicians found they could play in that vicinity, because it was not allotted to that boundary?
Perhaps it should be mentioned that the right to grant a "local"vested in the Federation after presentation of the requisite member of signatures to a petition.
In last analysis, the capabilities of deriving the most pecuniary aid from an organization is the primary becoming a member, and Local 802, under the same name, has been fair to the race and is quite capable of filling the bill. This is the text of the communication from Messrs. Hall and Ford.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
We are understaffed, have never considered or desired a department local in New York City. And would never aggregate ourselves from 1922.
Our only idea is to have a large booking office and clinic regions for colonized musician, membrolers of Locust City, which will be made a later date, and am sure will meet with the approval of every musician in New York.
We wish to correct the idea that we are trying to organize a separate local.

BERT HALL
FORD DARNEY
Since Hall and Ford's idea has been brushed around, Locust, three musician groups have sprout up, eager and willing to out a helping hand to the poor homeless, shelterless, musicians, elevate his mind and save his soul and save him from the perils of the street group, it is said, are negotiating for Coachmen's Hall in 1838 street.
Let's hope that the central idea of our prospective club openers be music-music with its natural concomitants, first, last, and all the time!

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES
Not The Same Type
type of Negro which enters the Pullman service same type of Negro as that which entered the ten years ago?"
Question was asked a veteran porter one evening writer sat in Thompson's Lounge Room in the room, replied the oldimer, "he is not the same who imagination."
Afterwards, a trio of Pullman porters, full of eating place. It was obvious at first glance in the service; although none but the initiate for their attire denoted anything and every veteran turned to the writer and said: "What allows for Pullman porters?" wrong with them? he was asked. Just look at their general appearance," replied the retort, this reporter gave the trio as which he caught the drift of the veteran's porters really did have all the appearances of the purpose of the trio to try to make the only untidy as they possibly could, by all the signs succeeded wonderfully well. The uniform of though it was adorning the person of the wearer was either two sizes too large or one size covered. On one porter the coat was so loo appearance of an ensemble spit.
The uniform coats of these porters gave signs and did all the marks of weeping. These tussers other what you felt for shoes, in the disarray, that you felt like approaching the wearers their trousers had broken away from their mans they wore Well, the least said about them to say, the entire attire of these porters con the whole Pullman porter group porters may belong to that group of porters, but they are d---- poor specimens for porters made our exit from the lunch room. These men are not typical of the porters that service, are they?" inquired the writer? they are, retorted the veteran. And not only newcomers indifferent to personal appearance, the average Negro intellectually. Seemingly, particular about its porters nowadays. Why do one into contact with these new porters; ever that if this were not so this new crop never get into the service.
Idea? Just like any other false idea regardless, I suppose, that this type of Negro is the, of course, is erroneous. It seems more intelligent-a porter is the best porter he porter is neater in personal appearance, is more service and gives the company less trouble all to that question. I think, that that is the type of unkempt and absolutely unfamiliar with the joke is on the company, for these fellows on the movement before they get all their new Pullman porter of today is an entirely from the new porter of old," concluded this vene and seen "en go for many years.
"Is the type of Negro which enters the Pullman service today, as porter, the same type of Negro as that which entered the service, say, ten or fifteen years ago?" This question was asked a veteran porter one evening last week as he and the writer sat in Thompson's Lunch Room in the Grand Central Station. "No," replied the oldimer, "he is not the same type by any stretch of the imagination."
Shortly afterwards, a trio of Pullman porters, fully uniformed, entered the eating place. It was obvious at first glance that they were new in the service; although none but the initiated could have told that, for their attire denoted anything and everything but newness. The veteran turned to the writer and said: "What do you think of those fellows for Pullman porters?" "What's wrong with them? he was asked." "Why, just look at their general appearance," replied the veteran.
Following the retort, this reporter gave the trio a closer inspection, after which he caught the drift of the veteran's observation. These new porters really did have all the appearances of misfits.
If it were the purpose of the trio to try to make themselves look as ridiculously untidy as they possibly could, by all the signs of slovenness, they succeeded wonderfully well. The uniform of each man appeared as though it was adorning the person of the wearer by protest. Each uniform was either two sizes too large or one size too small for the body it covered. On one porter the coat was so loose-fitting that it had the appearance of an ensemble suit.
But if the uniform coats of these porters gave signs of protest their trousers had all the marks of weeping. These trousers hung over shoes, or rather what were worn for shoes, in such a disconcerting and dejected way, that you felt like approaching the wearers with the suggestion that their trousers had broken away from their moorings. And for the shoes they wore! Well, the keest said about them will be the best. Suffice to say, the entire attire of these porters constituted a reflection on the whole Pullman porter group.
"These porters may belong to that group of porters known as the "new" porter, but they are d---- poor specimens for porters," said the oldimer, as we made our exit from the lunch room.
"But, these men are not typical of the porters that are now en-tering the service, are they?" inquired the writer?
"Yes, they are," retorted the veteran. And not only are the most of these newcomers indifferent to personal appearance, but they are far below the average Negro intellectually. Seemingly, the company is not so particular about its porters nowadays. Why do I say, that? Well, I come into contact with these new porters every day, and it seems to me that if this were not so this new crop never would have been able to get into the service.
"Oh, the idea? Just like any false idea regarding the Negro. It is figured, I suppose, that this type of Negro is the best type for service, which, of course, is erroneous. It is seen my observation that the more intelligent a porter is the better he makes. The intelligent porter is neater in personal appearance, is more efficient in rendering service and gives the company less trouble all around.
"I reply to that question, I think, that that is the reason now for this new crop of unkempt and absolutely unfamiliar with service porters. And the joke is on the company, for these fellows are registered as members of the movement before they get all their Pullman keys. Yes, sir, the new Pullman porter of today is an entirely different type. Negro from the new porter of old," concluded this veteran who has seen him come and seen him go for many years.

W H. Dover, long an employee of the Pullman service, and highly connected fraternally in this city, died suddenly in Chicago on Sunday morning, April 15, shortly after his arrival there from New York on the 20th Century Limited, on which he had run for many years as a porter. Heart disease, aggravated by an attack of gastritis, was given as the immediate cause of death.
Although he had been in poor health for the past two years, Mr. Dover's passing was a sudden shock to his relatives and friends. The body of the deceased arrived in this city on Wednesday morning, April 18.
The late Pullman veteran was born in Antigua, British West Indies. He came to this country more than twenty-five years ago. For twenty or more years helwas an employee of the Pullman Co., and commanded the merited respect of the entire official and employee personnel of the Pullman New York Central district.
As a fraternal man, his connections were noticeably high, especially in Masonic circles. He was a member of Medina Temple No. 10, of A. E. A. O. N. M. S., and Prince Hall Lodge No. 381, of F. A. M.; a member of Hamilton Lodge No. 710, G. U. of Odd Fellows; a member of Manhattan Lodge No. 45 of Elks of this city, and a founder member of the Pullman Porters Athletic and Social Club.
The deceased is survived by three sons and four sisters. He was a member of St. Philip's, P. E. Church.
Next week's issue of this page will contain a more concrete account of the deceased's personality as the editor of this column saw it.
Veteran Porter Still Thinks Race Should
It makes very little difference to George L. Ford, veteran Pullman porter, what some of our leaders, teachers and preachers may say in criticism of the Pullman Company and its attitude towards its porters. He believes that this corporation has been the greatest single benefactor of the Negro race since Abraham Lincoln signed the historical Proclamation of Emancipation. As a tribute to his employer, he thinks, the race should erect a memorial to George M. Pullman, the late founder of the Pullman-Company.
After several months' confinement to bed, which incapacity was caused by being run down by an automobile, the veteran Ford is up and about again. He paid a visit last week to the writer, and, during the call, reiterated his pet project—an effort to raise funds to erect a monument to the memory of the Pullman car builder. The writer agreed with the visitor that the Pullman service had been the medium through which many of our successful business and professional men had been able to make their vocational start in life, but he, the writer, was of the opinion that while such a movement as the visitor advocated might be ever so commendable, that it was not likely to become popular just now among Negroes. This belief, however, is not shared by the veteran.
According to Mr. Ford's idea, Negroes in this country should no more forget the memory of George M. Pullman than they should forget the memory of Booker T. Washington. For each, in his way and in his time, had helped the Negro to gain something which he probably might not have had had it not been for the foresight of these departed master-minds. The fact that memory is a rather elusive trait and gratitude a fleeting characteristic of the human family are fallings that do not seem to discourage the veteran. He firmly believes in his monumental plan, notwithstanding the present sentiment regarding the Pullman Company and its porters.
This sentiment, however, is not to be construed as being wholly anti-Pullman. Nor are all Negroes ingrates. There are some Negroes in the professional and business world, who have at sometime or another been in the Pullman service, and who think along lines similar to Mr. Ford regarding the Negro and this company. One case in point is a practising physician of Providence, R. L., Dr. William H. Hines, who wrote Mr. Ford as follows:
"Providence, R. L., February 14th, 1928
Mr. George L. Ford.
K. combe Avenue, New York City, N. Y.
Mr. Ford;
to note our group in this country owes you a debt of last-
night's guide for the same and illuminating article, which appeared in
the New York Age of February 4th.
"It is indeed most fortunate for us, especially at this time, for Mr. _____ to try to stir up hate and prejudice against a corporation which has been a real benefactor to our people.
"There is no class of workers among us who enjoys a better economic opportunity for self-help and general improvement than the Pullman employees. I am proud to acknowledge the fact that over twenty-five years ago the Pullman Company was an asset toward helping me to complete my education as it has many others before and since.
"As you say, 'great harm is being done the porters' and may I add greater injustice is being done by the race by this man_____ who is parading his false propaganda over the country for purely nouns motives. I cannot understand why men like (the omitting of nouns by the editor) and many others, some of whom I happen to know, can subscribe to this program, which, if not checked, will separate our people from these lucrative positions. Permit me again to thank you for your manly and race loyal position.
"Very sincerely yours.
"WILLIAM H. HINGGINS"
So, it is obvious that Mr. Ford is not alone in thinking that the Negro race owes the Pullman Company a certain amount of gratitude.

We explain that the mother is suffering from active disease it is imperative to wean the baby, and if possible separate it from the mother entirely. On the other hand, the disease may be healed or arrest; in which case weaning may be should both mother and child should be under constant supervision.
Pregnancy—We believe that most babies may be nursed for six months even if the mother is pregnant, provided that we can comfort, care, and support her health and strength are maintained. There is some diminution of the supply of milk, but this does not necessitate weaning. In these cases, mixed feeding—bread and bottle—give such a supply that menstruation: Since this function lasts only three or four days, it is not of itself sufficient cause for weaning. A temporary digestive upset can be corrected and the infant is Syphilis—The probability in a given case is that both mother and child have the disease even if one does not show a positive test. Moreover the syphilic infant is special in need of breast milk, as it usually suffers nutritional disturbances.
Acute Disease—One usually temporarily weans the baby in cases of pneumonia or typhoid fever in order to conserve the mother. In order to do not wean the baby because the mother has a "cold" or bronchitis or grip or tonsilitis. The mother should not breathe or cough in the baby's face or kiss it. Bright's Disease—child-bed fever (inconvulsions or convulsions), heart disease, even insatiability, are not absolute contraindications for, weaning. Further among the unjustifiable reasons for weaning or precious inability to nurse the baby, watery or blue milk too rich for the baby, cracked nipples, etc.
Now, it will be seen that we have listed only one positive-contra indication for nursing; that is active tuberculosis. At other times, we may need the solution upon the wise judgment of your doctor, who will always give the benefit of doubt upon the side of continuing the breast feeding. There is one more reason for weaning which we must recognize is the community—namely, the necessity of the mother to go to work.
Details Of Weaning
It is a cardinal principle that the baby should not be weaned suddenly. The infant may be somewhat prepared for weaning if given a bottle along with the breast even when a month of age. The baby may become necessary to wean the baby, or if the mother dies at the child birth the infant must be put on the bottle. Let us suppose the former situation. Beginning at two weeks of age, when the milk supply is well established and the baby may be substituted one bottle feeding for a nursing, giving, say, four ounces of a half milk, half water mixture. On the third day add 1-2 level teaspoonful of sugar. On the fifth day we may give 5 breast feedings and two bottles, made up from four ounces of sugar and four ounces and one level teaspoonful of sugar—giving four ounces at each of two feedings alternating with the breast. By adding another bottle every fourth day we will keep the infant four on weeks old, reach its schedule. Bottle (four ounces) at 10, 9, 2, 3, 1, 6 a, made up at one time of milk 10 ounces, boiled water 10
ounces and, two, level tablespoonfuls of sugar, or three, of Dextro-Maltose. This gives the baby the advantage of two breast feedings. Add one teaspoonful of Add to the diet teaspoonful of orange juice, and in two tablespoonfuls. Add further half teaspoonful of Codilver Oil twice a day. Now this schedule is not a sure thing. You should consult a competent doctor to ensure the wearing the baby. In the absence of believe the above information will b. of beneficial service.
Codliver Oil twice a day. Now this schedule is not a sure thing. You should consult a competent doctor's advice before weaning the baby. The assurance of such we believe the above information will be of beneficial service.
Usually the baby is weaned at the ninth month, provided this time does not come in midsummer, it is a good plan to add solid food—to the infant's diet at six months, to the infant's diet at seven weaning at time months. A table spoonful of farina, Cream of Wheat, or Wheatina, with a pinch of salt, but no sugar, may be given after one breast feeding. Increase this to two feedings after five days, a vegetable is added at eight months, and a sugar mixture since by this time the infant will be fed at 6, 10, 2, 10. At nine months the normal infant weighs 19 or 20 pounds. The technique of weaning is the same as given for the new born child. One bottle at eight months, two bottles for five days, substituting the bottle for the breast feeding. Now in view of the increased needs of the infant at this age, the first bottle might consist of milk five ounces, water three ounces, sugar one leavement, teaspoonful. Each of these, may be used for the infant's feeding, we have five bottles of eight ounces each made up of approximately milk 28-30 ounces, water 12-10 ounces, sugar three level table-spoonful, barley one level table-spoonful. Of bottle feeding we use milk, water, milk and the end. For fuller, understanding read next week's article, 'Bottle Feeding.'
Phantom Boy Scout
Hello, Scouts! Myl but we had some mighty fine weather for our spring vacation. Wasn't it great for hiking! I know three Scout-masters who took advantage of it, Messrs. Faulkner, Gleenn and Kelp of P. S. 89. And you ought to hear those rave about the fun they had.
The troop at P. S. 89 couldn't meet at the school during vacation so they met at the scoutmaster's home. That's what I call real troop spit. (They had a fine time hiking to Bronx Park Sunday.) With Boy! I hear the date has been set for the field day and its May 26. There are aces, prizes for individual scouts, and another big banner for the troop that gets the most points.
Every time I look at a paper I read of scouts somewhere preparing to go to camp for the summer. We've been Vernon the grown-ups are collecting supplies in the camp for their scouts. Down here we have a camp, but I wonder how many scouts are really going this summer. Hardly 100 went last year—just bequease some parents don't think its worth while. And I don't think it's worth taking from me, scouts; if you ever go once you'll want to go every year. Say, Scouts, here is a real record for you, Scout Webb of Troop 773. Scout Webb has been in scouting for almost six years. He is 18 years old in Senio in DeWitt Clinton High School. He has made a splendid record as a student and a scholar. He has just passed his last merit badge exam.

ination that put him in line for his eagle badge, the highest rank in scouting. He is also a life and star scout. He is a member of the Y. M. C. A. and has been for two years, where he is one of the outstanding players on the M. A. team. He is a member of the Scholastics, the only team that defeated the Colligians during the past season.
Who said the larger fellows don't get a real kick out of scouting? I'll say this is a record to be proud of anywhere.
