No' Cause For Shooting: but according to Sessoms' friends, the incidents leading up to the shooting were quite different. Sessoms and a group of friends had attended the annual ball of the Sons of Norfolk in New York, which was given by the Renascence Casino — a holiday night. After the ball, the party was continued in Sessoms' apartment. The policeman is alleged to have cone to Sessoms' door shortly before the shooting, ostensibly to have the guests make less noise.

MEMPHIS DROPS COLOR LINE FOR SOCIAL WORKERS Ushers Walk Out When Told To Seat Negro Visitors In Hall Memphis, Tenn.—Negro delegates to the National Conference of Social Work, held here May 2 to 9, were not "jim crowed" in any of the Southern functions;lichting breakfast, luncheon and dinner meetings. Assumptions to this effect were given the 1927 meeting at Des Moines, Iowa, by the local Chamber of Commerce, and the pledge was kept. About forty Negro delegates were present. Among these were Eugene K. Jones, executive secretary, National Urban League, New York, a member of the executive committee for four years; Chas. S. Johnson New York, director research, and Jesse O. Thomas, Atlanta, Ga. southern field secretary, T. Arnold Hill. New York industrial secretary, National Urban League; R. M. Moss, Baltimore Urban League; E. T.

Just before the first public meet- ing in the City Auditorium, the tushers rebelled when told the Negroes were to be seated anywhere in the hall they desired, and walked out on strike. Heretofore, Negroes have been relegated to a small section of the gallery. But Boy Scouts were drafted for the service and the ushers were allowed to leave. The Negro delegates and Memphis citizens who attended were scattered all over the place. Perry Howard Wins In Supreme Court Against Lilywhites (By Telegram To The Age) Jackson, Miss.-The Supreme Court of Mississippi has destroyed the last resort of the State's lily-white Republicans, who attempted to oust the regular Republican organization headed by National Committeeman Perry W. Howard. The "lilies," unable to control the state committee meetings of the party, sought to handcuff the regulars with court orders, and got a permanent injunction to do so from Chancellor Jugg at Hattiesburg last March. The Howard forces appealed to the State Supreme Court before which the appeal was argued April 23. The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision, dissolved the injunction and remanded the case for the taking of testimony in order to assess costs of the proceedings against the defendant lilies, whose route is now so complete that it is hardly likely that they will have the opportunity to make a contest at the Republican National Convention in Kansas City next Dr. HARRY T. BURLEIGH Chairman of Harlem's Music Week Committee, who supervised six splendid programs at 135th St. Y. M. C. A. HARLEM REALTOR LOSES $5,000 IN 'GOLD POT' HUNT Tenant and Occult African Work New Form Of Confidence Game A rather fantastic form of the "confidence game" was, responsible for the loss of $500 by Henry S. Warner, of 654 Lenox avenue, a few weeks ago. Warner, although a hard-headed business man and one of Harlem's best known real estate brokers, somehow allowed three men to make him a partner in a $300,000 pot of gold sebeme, which had a seance with Warner's dead father as the basis. Walter Rafael, who lived in a house under Warner's management at 2465 Second avenue, induced the broker to enter the plot. Rafael told the real estate man about one Blanda an African, who communicated with lead, and who a "seance" with Warner's father, learned that Warner's father, who died when Warner was six years old, knew of a pot of gold in which he was' anxious to have his son share. Rafael explained that in order to get the gold $10,000 would have to "pass" on the scene. Warner Produces $5,000 Warner said he did not "have $10,000 but admitted he had $5,000. Rafael said that Bolancia, the occult African, also had $5000, and that Warner could get a half 'interest in the pot of gold by coming into the scheme. This Warner agreed to. A few days later Rafael went to Warner's office and he and the realty man got into Warner's car to make the trip to the "land of gold," located somewhere in Jamaica on Long Island. At 101th street and Fifth avenue, Bolancia joined the party and at 90th street and Fifth avenue, Hezekiah Johnson, who was introduced as an associate of the African, also got into the car. The patty drove to South Jamaica and on a lonely spot, which Bolancia said the dead Indian had described, a hole two feet deep was dug, when the shovel struck something hard. It proved to be a concrete cover on which was printed, "$30,000 in gold, 1776, R. I. P." Warner says he asked what "R. I. P." meant. Bolancia is said to have replied that it meant "Rest in peace." African Gets the Money The spiritualist then explained that before the Indian's prophecy could be fulfilled, the $10,000 had to pass. Warner says he asked to see Bolancia's money and a roll large enough to choke a horse was produced. The outside bills were tens and twenties. After seeing the other money, Warner produced five $1,000 bills, which were handed to the African. The four men then succeeded in lifting the concrete cover, and Warner says he caught sight of several $20 gold pieces. When Warner suggested that the party get busy and take the treasure from its hiding place at once, the African objected, saying that Warner's father did not wish him to get the money at once. So they agreed to return the next day for it. They drove back to Harlem and the last Warner has seen of Bolancia and his other friends was when they got out of the car at 125th street and Lenox avenue. When Rafael failed to put in an appearance the next day, Warner went to the man's apartment and succeeded in getting in through the fire escape. He then laid his wife, who children were gone. There was food on the table and clothes in the washub, as if they had left hurriedly. Now the Harlem reactor offering a substantial reward for information leading to the arrest of any of the trip.

At the last meeting, which was attended by more than twenty, the opinion was unanimous that the colored ice men in the community should organize for their mutual benefit. There are two hundred doing business in Harlem. It was brought to the attention of the league that a cooperative store, organized by young men, is soon to be opened in the district. The charge was made by Nathaniel Kline, owner of three grocery stores, that the leading men and women of the race do not patronize Negro business. He said a comparison of weights and quality would show that his stores are competing with the chain stores. The suggestion was made that the colored bootblacks be formed into an organization. Three Harlem business women were present. Mine. Cecile DeSilva, Mrs. Dora Hobbs and Mrs. Bessie Cheeseman. They were asked to do special work among their sex. The league is making extensive arrangements for the holding of the National session in New York August 15, 16 and 17. Important committees are being formed.

Brown, pastor of Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, Bridge street, with the Rev. Dr. F. L. Madison of Pittsburgh, were so closely aligned that neither could, get a decisive vote. Then, it narrowed down, to Madison and Jacobs. Seven fruitless ballots were taken, then Madison withdrew and Jacobs' election was made, unanimous. The Rev. Dr. William H.

Incidentally, according to an Associated Press despatch, Ambassador Morom will spend the month of June at home, and is to deliver the commencement address at Marshall College in West Virginia of which institution the Ambassador's father once was principal. Many here see in the coming of Mr. Morrow during the month of the National Convention's dates more than mere coincidence, despite his right to enjoy a well-earned visit home. Ambassador Morrow has been discovered as one of the only two Republicans who can beat Al Smith, by the editor of the Pittsburgh Gourrier, whose home, as is Secretary Mellon's, happens to be in Pittsburgh. .. How Signs Point. The Washington Post's expert Fox writes: "Signs now clearly point to a battle of Hoover against the field, with the party leaders choosing either Hoover or someone from the field. This does not mean, it is exclaimed that Hoover's chances do not remain excellent *****. But the latest developments seem to clearly put an end to the assumption that Hoover was to be nominated whether the party leaders liked it or not and that the 'voice of the people' was about to put an end to the practice of making the nominee dependent upon 'late conferences in smoke-filled rooms.' In short, if Hoover gets the nomination he will get, it because of the decision of the political leaders who will probably meet in a smoke-filled room." The Mellon Statement.

He writes, that "In the battle of Hoover against the field, the field has a slight shade the better of prospective delegates to Kansas City, although Hoover may come within 100 of the required 545 before June 12." The inference that Hoover will have the devil's own time getting the needed 100 after June 12 is obvious.

And that's what is needed—the race to be in on everything; to be scattered among all political parties and groups of political parties. Livingstone College Gets Check For $3,000 Salisbury, N. C.—Several days ago, President Trent received a letter from a northern white friend enclosing a check for $3,000 to be used in the endowment campaign. There was a great outburst of applause from the student body when the president announced it in the morning chapel service.

Church After Several Troublous Scenes In Church, a Meeting Of Official Body In Paterson On April 16 Confirmed Dissolution Order Jersey City, N. J.—Members of the Lafayette Presbytery Church have taken exceptions to statements made by the Rev. Dr. Wm. A. Byrd, pastor, in a communication to the Jersey Journal on May 8, wherein the pastor makes a lengthy defense against the reportd action of the Presbyterian Council and Presbytery which declared his pulpit Dr. Byrd charges that financial irregularities on behalf of former officers caused him to demand an investigation and accounting and that this action caused a general rebellion on part of the trustees and their sympathizers, eventually the Council, the Secretary, the Council, to come into the affair, with the Council wrongly assuming jurisdiction over the affairs of the church. It was also stated that Dr. Byrd is retaining the pastorate pending payment of arrearages in his salary. .. Member Gives Statement. When interviewed by an Age representative, one of the prominent members of the church was willing to talk freely of the matriarch to be allowed to do so without use of name, for personal reasons. Referring to articles published in The Age, this informant said, "The trouble between Dr. Byrd and the church has been going on for some time. Dr. Byrd saw a vision of a $1500 church that was built by people of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church. Since the old board of trustees would not sanction this, Dr. Byrd had a new board elected. The old board would not turn over the deeds of the property to this board, therefore suit was against the old board by Dr. Byrd, and the Presbyterian Presbyterian had told him not to do so. "After this action was started, the old board turned over matters to the Presbyterian. When the Presbyterian Council was coming for an investigation in a notice, was given out that there would be a meeting. Dr. Byrd gave out from the public that there would be no meeting. However, the meeting was held and there was a representative gathering. The church now has to pay a court fee of more than $500 for the suit that Dr. Byrd was responsible for. Byrd Refused To Resign. On the fourth Sunday in February he order of the Presbytery, Dr. Byrd was to have read his resignation. He did not do so, but instead, said he would not re-respond and received to ask him he was good and ready to leave. On April 16, the Presbytery called a meeting, notice of which was to be posted in the vestibule, and read from the mubit on two consecutive Sundays. This was not done. Then the Presbytery Council sent Fellin Wood and the stated clerk, Dr. Steed to read the dissolution of relations between Dr. Byrd and the Lafayette Church. Their request for permission to read the notice when other notices were read, that is, before the sermon was refused by Dr. Byrd, but Elder Arnold read the notice. And the Association was being done, the pastor assisted his congreseon not to listen or pay attention to the reading. Hissed and Called Names. "Finishing the reading, Elder Arnold and Dr. Steele left the church to hisSION on part of some of the women, who called them names. The pastor turned the women in the church to making many unbecoming remarks." Then on April 15, when Dr. Gratton, moreor of the Presbyterian Council, came to read the notice, he was also refused, but read it anyhow. While he was doing some work, he became knocked on by Dr. caller who called he had called, but they had found out what the trouble was and they would not come in. And when Dr. Gratton had finished reading and was leaving the church, a Mrs. Turner, started throwing, hymn Dr. Gratton on the foot another striking one of our elders. "And on April 16, the meeting was, held despite all opposition, and there was a large crowd nestled in the Dr. Grattis platform to Dr. Bred oilfielded and Dr. Harterove, I. T. Sunderland, H. A. Pawley and a Mr. Bred gathered around the moderator, but when officers who had been secured to protect Dr. Bred readily sat down. And while Dr. Grattis was praising some of the convoitation were missing grim. Many Illegal Votes. When the vote was taken, every person in the congregation, not only members but non-members and children were permitted to vote, the total being 64 against 27, the total being 84 against 12, and 80 for. When the Presbytery met in Paterson on April 17, it was found that many of the votes were illegal, and formal action was taken, requiring Dr. Byrd to vacate the pulpit by June 1. The meeting of the Lafayette church corporation was held Mon- day April 30 and it was peaceful and harmonious. It was voted to pay all indebtedness and remodel the church hoping that the main auditorium will be ready for use by the first Sunday in June. It is reported that many of the former members who left during the Byrd administration have announced their intention to return when asked to do so. The royal memorial of the church are hoping now that the congregation divided under Dr. Byrd will be united as in 'days of old. Salary Has Been Paid. "The officers state that Dr. Byrd has already been paid his salary in full, amounting to $1,435, and not more than $2,000, as he stated in his statement in The Jersey Journal. The Court investigated the church books and refuted the charge that there were any irregularities. It was brought out that when Dr. Byrd came, the church had $1,000 in bank, but that now there is an indebtedness of more than $2,000 in the church, which organized the board of trustees and the present officers stand for the interest of the people and the welfare of the church. In answer to a query from The Age representative with regard to the report printed in- The Age of April 28, and denied by Dr. Byrd in a statement printed by this paper, a issue of the journal of Byrd had been used by a woman friend for $200, the informant said that a Mrs. Williams of Seifert street had given Dr. Byrd a contract to remodel her house into a two-family building, placing $700 in the bank to pay for the work; the minister's son-in-law was given the building inspector discovered the work was being done by an unlicensed plumber, the son-in-law was arrested and fined $7. It is alleged that Dr. Byrd denied giving the job to his son-in-law, and the building inspector had received the job from his father-in-law. Mrs. Williams was ill at the time and since died. This case was reported to have been settled in court on April 26 Bridge Party For Jean Joseph School Miss Rosina Jean-Joseph wishes to thank those who have contributed for the benefit of the 'Jean Joseph Industrial School of Port-au-Prince Haiti.'

ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association All dogs allowed on New York City's streets are required by law to be muzzled. Owners of dogs should cooperate in carrying out this law, that of all an living in the city may be protected. True, but dogs appear to have good dispositions and seem perfectly harmless. It is true that relatively few dogs bite people on the streets. But it is also a fact that every now and then some dogs do bite and some of these are discovered to be suffering with rabies. That is why your dog or mine may one day bite someone, as there is that our neighbor's dog will bite. Muzzling dogs when they are taken out on the streets is a protection for all of us. Even if a dog does not have rabies, dog bites are likely to come. Infected like any other wound. If you or your child or any member of your family is bitten, visit the doctor immediately. It is essential that dog bites be given proper care. It is exceedingly important to have the dog examined and the physician advises serum as a protection for rabies, take his advice and let him give you the treatment. It is important to take preventive treatment if you have been bitten and there is a possibility of rabies. But it is even more important that all of us should be proactive by having all dogs muzzled before they are allowed on the streets. See to it that your dog is muzzled properly. Don't Neglect Your Mental Health Serenity of mind, calmness, and a feeling of pleasant enjoyment of life are great aids to happiness and health. They are always easy to attain, but all of us can do much to help ourselves. Learn how to heal our worries. We worry breaks down one's health and hinders happiness. In fact, worry is a vicious habit which all of us should overcome. It is easier to tell a person to "stop worrying" than it is to do so. But the determination to overcome the habit is a great help in actually worrying. First, make yourself stop worrying over unimportant things and little details which are not worth worry. When you find yourself thinking too much about them or worrying unnecessarily think • think of something else. Substitute a pleasant thought for the unpleasant ones. When you want to see the newest movie you want to book you have read or are reading, or any other agreeable entertainment.

MARTIN (The author by a member of the Class of 1931, of Bennett College for Women, Greenboro, N. C.) -Editor I have an ideal for the campus of Bennett College for Women. My conception would have it a place where there is always a reason to decide in the when a sound and various team is taught heartily without show or pretense: There are reasons why the campus may become what I wish to be. First, the life and teachings of Christ in the right and true womanhood. Second, all classes, conditions, and beliefs are welcome and students may rise by earnest striving, hard work and merit. Third, it is a place where wealth is no honor and power is not available to labor, even labor of the hands, is glorified by, high purpose and strenuous desire for a clearer and larger view. On the campus there is also a will to serve all the high ends of students who are struggling to use opportunity of getting an education. I feel that we are being taught to observe closely, to imagine vividly, to reason accurately, and to have about some humility and some toleration. Truth shining patiently like a star, on the campus of dear Old Bennett, bids us advance, and we will not turn aside. S. J.

Judge Delehanty Sets Aside Verdict Gotten By Mrs. Holt Against Grand Temple of Elks Jennie Holt of New York City, who brought suit against her fraternal sisters for libel growing out of a recommended suspension from The Grand Temple of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Daughters of Elks of the World, saw her chances for collecting a nice fat recovery grow thinner when Judge Delehanty of the New York Supreme Court, on May 14, 1928, set aside and vacated a judgment for $2543.50 On January 4th, 1928, Mrs. Holt, represented by Mrs. Ruth W. Whaley of 206 Broadway, appeared in the New York Supreme Court and got a judgment against The Grand Temple tor $7,543.50 on the claim that The Grand Temple in violation of the laws had tried and expelled her from the Invincible Temple for ninety-nine years. She claimed that they published this fact in their minutes of the Seventeenth Annual Session of the @rand Temple and because of their publication there arose an implication in the case against the serious fraud, immorality or crime. On the day of the trial no one appeared from the Grand Temple and a judgment was subsequently taken by default. It was not until Attorney Francis E. Rivers of 36 West 44th Street was retained by the Temple that anything 'happened' to steps were instituted whichculminated in this decision of Judge Delehanty's. The victory won by Attorney Rivers was complete as the court not only wiped the judgment from the record and allowed The Grand Lodge twenty days time to answer, but did not require any bond to be waived. It was unusual in a case of this kind. The case to date has been bitterly contested and many rumors have been current which gave the impression that the Grand-Temple and its attorneys were raedy to give up. Nothing could be further announces that the fight is just from the truth. Counselor Rivers beginning to argue that the court was through to the end. With the judgment set aside and vacated, Mrs. Holt finds herself in a position where she must practically begin all over again. It will be at least a year before she will have the opportunity to try and convince a jury that she was obese and malnourished by the Grand Trial of the Improved Bread and Protective Order of Daughter Elks of the World.

Cabell Bruce, Dem., Delaware By RIENZI B. LEMUS Washington, D. C.—Senator Heflin of Alabama is limited to the mastery of scurrility. The only cross of which he has knowledge is the fiery cross of the Ku Klux Klan. Such is opinion of Senator William Cabell Bruce (Democrat), of Maryland, expressed on the floor of the United States Senate last week. Heflin, who shares with Blease of South Carolina the odium of being the least informed man ever in the Senate, had just delivered a characteristic turade against the U. S. Navy's "practice" of "permiting" the "Papal Flag," to be born along the Stars and Stripes board warships on Sundays. least danger of violence or assassination as Heflin is the best asset the AI Smith wing of the Democratic party has. Heflin's twin-Senate dummy is Blease of South Carolina. Blease who has been flooding the "Congressional Record" with the news of space wasted on him by colored newspapers, for home consumption, learning that a flag containing a cross is flown above the U. S. flag aboard American warships or Sundays, Senator Helfin assumed that it is the "Catholic flag." So he immediately embaled his chief employment of wasting the nation's time and his energies in beating the Church of Rome in general, and the governor of New York in particular. The Uninformed Heflin But the flag about which the uninformed Helfin raged and flayed was a chaplain's flag, that signifies, when raised, that the man no-And the chaplain's flag, flown above the nation's emblem, is symbolic of the truth that God is alive country which, despite its costs, has no more relation to the Catholic Church than the emblem of the Independent Order of St. Luke. "This fact all' of Congress at last of the Senate, knew—except the Alabama Senator—who generally knows nothing; and the Senate, long since accustomed to Helfin's ignorance, got a real amusement kick from his oratorical display or dumbness in respect to the chaplain's flag. Senator Bruce, whom Negro race politicians" always refer to as "all right on the brother," and who is conceded to be the scholar of Congress since Henry Cabot Lodge went to heaven, alighted on the almighty all-mouthman' from Alabama with 'an intellectual ferocity almost akin to the attack of a hungry, mature wash.' Bruce gave the history of the origin and significance of so many crosses in such scholarly rapidity that the bulky Alabama could only blink like a terrapin before a thunderstorm, and turn red. When it finally penetrated to his congeniality thick perceptive sense that all of his speech had gone for naught; that it was the chaplain's flag, which the oldest surviving sailor found when he entered the Navy and which absolutely is without mere credal or denominational significance, that he had been lambasting. Alabama's senator Senator was a some Babblegasted person! When he recovered somewhat, Helfin ought to justify his stupidity and assiminity on the ground of the general proposition that he is too patriotic to consent to any flag being raised above the glorious Stars and Stripes, thus adding deliberate blasphemy to his rhetorical flights of dumness; for he is a disciple of William Jennings Shriver—not of Clarence Darrow. And, demonstrating, as Samuel Johnson once said, that "paurism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." The best Mahaman made reference to threats of assassination reverted to him.

Heflin's twin-Senate dummy is Blease of South Carolina. Blease who has been flooding the "Congressional Record" with the news of space wasted on him by colored newspapers, for home consumption, while hundreds, of "Bleases" are driven to the hillsides of Saluda alley by threatened deluge from Skunk River—read into the "Record" an article written for the Chicago Daily News by Chandler Owen on Secretary Hoover's abolishing of segregation in the Census Bureau. And he thought that the News, perhaps the biggest afternoon American paper, was a "nigger paper." A Negro newspaper—Chicago Daily News, which required over $10,000,000 to buy it from the Victor Lawson estate; A U. S. Senatro—can it be possible? But as Saul Wart (white) is said to have stated, as he looked down upon his Saluda Valley farm from Skunk Ridge—"Coley Blease oughten to be right heath now heftin in them sacks o' sand inter that Dam to keep it fom gwine out an flooding the Valley, 'stead of being up thar in Kawngress gittin all that money.

System Filled With Poison as a result of CONSTIPATION Mr. R. J. Black, of Kelton, S. C., says: "I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas pain, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison. "One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years. "Black-Draught is a splendid remedy for constipation."

This year the society is featuring the Progressive Juveniles in a musical revue under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Snead and Mrs. Mary Ward. Without doubt this program of home kiddies will please the public and a large attendance is expected. The music will be furnished by A N Hayne's orchestra. The affair will be at Columbia Hall on May 18. The Scotia Scholarship Society was organized some years ago for the purpose of helping some worthy poor girl acquire an education at Scotia Women's College, Concord; N. C. A Jersey City girl was sent to this institution for five years. As funds increased the work was extended. In addition to the scholarship maintained at the above college, assistance was given for three years to a boy at Downington, Pa.; for four years to a student at Lincoln University, and is now being accorded one at Howard University. The Scotia Scholarship Society was the first one organized in the interest of Scotia and in the awarding of scholarships in the distinction of being the second oldest organization of its kind in this part of the country. The first scholarship given to Bordentown Industrial Institute was awarded by the Scholarship Society. Contributions have been made to the Young Women's Christian Association and many baskets of food, have been distributed at Christmas time to the poor The membership is not restricted to graduates of the college but is composed of any interested in the work; both men and women. The society meets monthly at the home of the members at which time programs along all cultural lines are rendered. The officers are Mrs. M. Cannon Sprague, president; Miss Etta Cannon, vice-president Henry Martin secretary; Miss Mayne Goldbough financial secretary; Mrs Clara Haines, treasurer; Mrs I. T. Brown chaplain. The program committee consists of Mrs. Cannon chairman; Mr. Martin Feed T. Smith; Miss Goldbough, Mrs. Emu, Johnson and Miss Lirey Callous.

M: E. General Con-ference Chicago, Ill.—In an address to the A. M. E. general conference being held here at the Eighth Regiment Armory, 25th street and Giles avenue, Bishop A. J. Carey presiding, Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, described the church as "the one organization that has given to the Negro his fullest opportunity for free and unhampered development." He spoke Thursday evening, and in his address took particular occasion to compliment the A. M. E. Church on its educational progress through its fifteen colleges. "The church," declared Dr. Moton, "has given the Negro the opportunity to voice his aspirations; to work away at his own problems, to express his own preferences and to choose his own leaders. In this field, the Negro race has achieved its highest form of organized activity and no one can say that it has failed An Unfortunate Divison "It is unfortunate," continued the speaker, "that our religion should be source of our division. I have observed that among the so-called heathen it is their religion that unites them, but among so-called Christians, it is our religion that divides us. We will never win the non-Christian world to Christ until we can show them that under the banner of Jesus Christ we are one. And the thing that will make us one, is not our creeds, nor vet our organizations, but the fact that we are all united by one spirit, the spirit of Jesus Christ, the spirit of good-will, for honor and honesty, and for genuine brotherhood. When we Christians, white and black show that spirit the world will believe what we preach." Candidates Handicapped. Candidates for the bishopric found themselves somewhat handicapped in their campaigning - when Bishop Elipper announced that distributing literature in the conference would be banned. Four prelates are to be elected. The financial department, through John R. Hawkins, secretary, reported receipts of more than $1,500,000, with an increase of $150,000 in dollar money. The Book Department is now housed in a new building modernly equipped. The rotation principle was embodied in a resolution providing that bishops are to be moved after serving two terms in a district: But Bishop Flipper indicated that the bishops would suit themselves about this by telling the delegates to remember that the bishops appointed themselves.

INC. 138th St. at Madison Ave. We Serve the Plant of Wagner Children's Diseases Among, the common notions held by mothers is that certain diseases are "children's diseases" in the sense that it is necessary that they have them and the sooner the better. Indeed mothers have been known to expose their children to measles, whooping-cough, chicken-pox, mumps and scarlet fever, with the idea of "the earlier the better." Now, we wish to say that (1) no disease is necessary, (2) all such diseases, far from being beneficial to the child, leaves oftimes some permanent damage to the constitution. We may admit that if the accident does happen, the diseases, bad as they are in children, do run a more severe course in adults. When you consider that measles alone is responsible for about 15,000 deaths of children each year and that whooping-cough takes a toll of one out of every four babies in one year, and that both of these conditions are frequently followed by tube poisoning, you will surely realize the wonders doing all in your power to prevent your child from being exposed to these crippling and death-dealing maladies. Furthermore, it is to be remembered that these diseases are "catching". This means that each of them is due to a particular germ, even though we may not have discovered it's exact nature. These germs are, conveyed from one to the other in the spray of the cough or the discharge from the nose. Then toys or bedding or dishes used to be sterilized by boiling for twenty minutes before they are used by another child. Better still, if possible, have separate things for the sick and well child. Secondly, and we should have stated this first—the sick should be isolated from all other children. This means if possible a separate room and particularly a separate bed. The room should be well ventilated and yet not too cold. Even in the case of measles it is not necessary to darken the room in the theory that the child will go blind. If there is inflammation of the eyes, so adjust the bed that the sun does not fall direct in the child's eyes, but don't exclude the sunlight, the most powerful natural health restorer at our command. Mothera are inlined to be lax in the matter of cleanliness. Was your hands before and after handling the sick baby. Don't be deceived into the belief that the conditions are so mild and nature that you can comfort to have a doctor. Through this management neglecting you improve the chances of your child suffering the complications of lungs, heart and kidneys which appear so often. We believe also in the saving qualities of water. We are in the habit of saying "Give water intimately and externally." We know no good reason why these children should be deprived of a cleaning soothing bath. The water, course, being warm or jepid. Likewise warm drinks of tepid lemonade or orangeade are advantageous in "flushing the kidneys and bowels." It is necessary that imination by these avenues should be kept free but not to the extent of exhausting the child. Your doctor will advise you how to regulate these matters. These children are permitted to get out of bed too soon. Just because the rash gone the child is not well. There must be an after period of convalescence the most important part of which is rest. In scarlet fever it may be necessary to keep the child in bed from two to four weeks or more to prevent serious damage to the heart or the development of rheumatism. In all these conditions care should be taken of the nose and ears. Middle-ear disease may lead to meningitis, and the latter to deafness, blindness, disturbed speech or mentality or death. We have not mentioned food so far. Your doctor is the best guide in this matter. However, it might be said that in general a light semi-solid diet is preferable—milk broths, soft-boiled eggs, jello, jinket, thin cereal. But not too much of the latter especially oatmeal. If then we have been able to impress you with the seriousness hidden in every trifling "children's disease" we shall have accomplished the object of the writing of this article.

One of the tendencies of modern politics in this country is the evolution of political leadership among the various groups of voters. As a result of this development we find an Italian leader in districts where that nationality preponderates, a Jewish leader where Hebrews are in the majority and so on. Naturally all these district leaders cooperate in running the party machine and unite in selecting the ablest from their number, irrespective of race, as the party leaders. Following this unwritten rule of representative leadership, Negro voters in districts where they furnish the majority of the votes, are demanding the right to mine leaders from their own group. Chicago has furnished the most con- nections example of this evolution on the South Side, which will probably send a legio to Congress to succeed the late Representative Madden. The political strength of the race in Chicago was known at the last election by the send- ing of five representatives to the Legis- ture, two from the first district, two from the third and one from the fifth, binds a member of the State senate. A colored member of the Republican committee was chosen from the first Congressional district and two ward mitteemen as leaders of their respect- wards. The delegation to the Repub- lican National convention will be com- posed of four colored Republicans from the first district, making an innovation foretofore unheard of in any Northern state. Naturally, all these representatives of the race were chosen with the approval of the Thompson machine, which controls the Republican party in Chicago, withstanding its defeat in the primaries last month. Former Alderman Oscar DePriest was named through the same organization as the regular Republican candidate for Congress to fill the seat made vacant by Mr. Madden's death. Of course the question may be raised whether these colored candidates really represent the race or merely the Thompson machine. The answer will be that so long as government is conducted through the party system, it will be necessary for the colored voters to ally themselves with one machine or the other. It remains with the voters to elect the most available men possible to represent them, the best they can under such conditions. There is a lesson in the summary of what has been accomplished in Chicago, the voters in other cities who are deprives of achieving racial representation. Each group believes in its own capacity for evolving leadership and should have the opportunity to test that belief. TRULY DEMOCRATIC. The National Conference of Social Work; which met, in Memphis the first part of this month, is spoken of as the most democratic of the national bodies which hold sessions from year to year. This is because of the fact that, it permits of no discrimination in the treatment of those who attend its meetings, at the ground of race or color. So strict in this attitude, that the decision to hold the convention in Memphis was held up for nearly three days, at last year's meeting in DesMolnes, until pledges were received from the Memphis Chamber of Commerce and, other local leaders that there would be no discrimination in the meeting of the delegates or at any of the formal conference functions. More than three thousand delegates attended the conference from all over the country, of which number about forty were colored. These members of the race sat in all parts of the various convention meeting places, and attended breakfast, luncheon and dinner meetings, where no discrimination was noted. It was reported that at the first evening session, held in the City Auditorium, the ushers struck when informed that Negroes would be allowed to sit anywhere in the hall. The custom in Memphis has been to restrict them to a small section of the gallery. Boy. Scouts were drafted to replace the striking ushers, and the colored delegates and citizens of Memphis seated themselves all over the big auditorium for the six evenings that the meetings lasted. Besides this lesson in practical democracy, a kind of democracy new to the South, there were group discussions on social harmony in communities having diverse racial and national groups, in which leading Negro social workers took an active part. As the South was in the majority in the number of delegates it was thought that the effect of these meetings would do much to stimulate interest in interracial relations. The manner in which the Memphis or organizations carried out their pledges of non-discrimination and fair treatment of all the delegates to this conference is encouraging, as evidencing the possibilities of real democracy in the South. It was in direct contrast to the attitude maintained at a religious workers congress at Birmingham, a year or so ago, which resulted in the withdrawal of the colored delegates on account of the color discrimination they encountered. And yet we have had no reason to believe that Memphis is any more liberal in its tendencies on the color question than Birmingham. However, it may be more progressive and at least faithful to its pledges. CLIMATE AND COLOR. In the gradual dispersal of the colored races over the different parts of the United States, there has been a long standing dictum that the South is the natural habitat of the Negro. Some opponents of migration have gone so far as to contend that removal from the warm climate of that section would be fatal to the race and its members would become subject to pulmonary diseases and die off, if exposed to the hardships of Northern winters. Experience has not borne out this prediction, provided the migrants guard themselves against climatic changes by sufficient clothing, proper food and adequate housing and sanitation. Where these requisites are lacking there will be the inevitable result of sickness and deaths, as in the case of the whites. One of the features of the migration movement from the South, which has been in progress during the past ten years, has been the congestion of population in certain Northern cities. This has brought about a shortage of housing facilities and produced excessive crowding and unsanitary conditions of living, with the usual results reflected in the health reports. In some communities the saturation point has been reached, so far as the economic absorption of Negro labor is concerned. The employment needs have been satisfied and there is no work for the later comers. This leads to privations and suffering, with a consequent toll of sickness and death. These untoward results are frequently charged by Southern sympathizers to the change of climate, whereas there are other factors in the case that would work the same result in any climate. The ability of the darker races to endure the climate of the temperate and frigid zones has been fully demonstrated in the history of the Negro in America. There is no Northern State in which the race is not represented in smaller or larger numbers, from Maine on the East coast to Washington on the West. Coming to individual examples of the ability to withstand the rigors of Arctic exploration there is no more conspicuous example than Matthew Henson, who was the pioneer for the late Admiral Peary in his quest for the North pole. Henson is now the only living American who set foot on the northernmost part of the globe. A resolution was introduced in Congress early this session to make some suitable recognition of his services in Arctic exploration but so far no action has been taken. That the ability of the people of African blood to thrive in cold climates is not confined to those of American birth, was emphasized by the testimony of an Arctic trader from Vijetoria Land, who visited New York several weeks ago. Captain MacDougall, in an interview with a New York Times reporter, said that the thermometer in Winter gets as low as 85 degrees below zero in that region. The summer season is eighty to ninety days long and it gets hot in June, July and August. A great deal of the winter is mild, ranging around 30, 40 and 50 degrees below zero. A Zulu boy was brought there from South Africa who had been born and bred in the jungle. According to the trader, "this boy grew up married an Eskimo girl and raised a half a dozen children. This black boy became a trader up there. A good one, too, and would have been living now if he didn't get drowned." This story should encourage those who believe in the capacity of the African race to adapt itself to any climate or conditions. Minnesota is said to have twenty million acres of untilled farm lands waiting for settlers and yet color- ed farmers fail to take advantage of the opportunity to become pioneers in the growing Northwest country. The soil will grow sugar beets, for which there is an assured market, besides the usual food crops. In the effort to direct Southern migration into channels which promise the greatest opportunities for development along all lines the Northwest country should not be overlooked. Extremes of climate have proved no barrier to the progress of those of colored blood. FILM VIEWS IN INDIA An article in the Bombay Chronicle, written by "A Cinema Fan," testifies as to the universal interest felt in moving pictures in all parts of the world. The subject of film censorship is being debated in India, and the rejection of "Dawn," the film featuring the heroism of Nurse Cavell, by the British censorship, is hotly resented by this Chronicle correspondent. He says it is not necessary for his present purpose to enter into the special controversy over this film, but he paid his respects to the censors, by referring to the "stupid whims of a few old dotards and autocrats exclusively nominated for the purpose by the Home Department." What he would have said if he had really entered into the discussion can hardly be imagined. The scheme of German censorship finds more favor with this critic, because it consists of 'a happy medium between exclusively official censors and boards of representatives of industrial, literary and educational institutions. A committee witnesses the film and passes judgment upon its production, without being dominated by what the Chronicle writer calls "police-raj." The news of the organization of a Negro film corporation was greeted with the following approving comment: "It would appear, as if all the suppressed nations, and races of the world were taking to the films as the best method or representing their grievances, aspirations and achievements before the whole world. While, therefore, Americans are still pursuing the film industry for amassing increasing millions of dollars from all parts of the world their Negro countrymen have at least, launched their own film corporation, to give the world the stories of their race development." Then follows an account of the aims of the Eureka Film Corporation, as printed in The Age not long ago. The article concludes with the criticism of a film presented by the Imperial Film Company adapted from a famous novel of Indian life, by Mr. Kapadia and Miss Sunna Irani. The picture is entitled the "Fatal Garland" and deals with the tragic love of two characters for the same unfortunate heroine. One lover is a Hindu prince and the other a Muslim sovereign. The settings are described as gorgeous, and the setting of outdoor scenes generally admirable, but the working out of the climaxes failed to please this exacting critic. The article gives another proof of the universal appeal of the film to all races and conditions of life the world over. THE CHURCH AND THE STAGE. THE CHURCH AND THE STAGE. In the Advance, a weekly paper published in the interest of the Abyssinian Baptist Church of New York City, we find an article headed "Thespians and the Future," which denotes a remarkable change in the attitude of the churches toward the drama. It told of the installation of the officers of a dramatic club by the pastor of the church and invoked a blessing upon the officers and members, with the hope expressed for success in their aspirations. This is a distinct departure from the attitude maintained by some of the churches, which classed dramatic performances with dancing as a sintul indulgence, forbidden to the faithful members of the flock. This view of the matter is both broader and wiser, in that it is more consistent with the history of the drama and the workings of human nature. Time was when the drama was a function of the church used for the production of mystery and morality plays. Even at the present day the Passion play so long presented by the peasants of Oberammergau, is given under churchly auspices. One expression in this church paper sounded as if the writer had not kept in touch with the progress of the race in the dramatic productions of today. It sald, somewhat pessimistically, "We have not as yet produced a great actor in the spoken drama, nor have we written a great play." While this may be literally true, it leaves out of consideration the creditable roll of colored actors who have won their place in Broadway productions during the past few years. Truly great actors are not so common on the American stage, whether their color is black or white. We grant that the colored race may not have produced a great tragedian since the days of Ira THE AGE READERS' FORUM Aldridge who was forced to go to Europe to play the roles in which he earned his fame. But in the lines of comedy, there have been few American actors to equal Bob Cole, Beri Williams and Ernest Hogan in their prime. Josephine Baker is still creating a furore in Europe while the career of Florence Mills is fresh in the memory of those who saw her at her best. In the serious drama, the Lafayette Players produced some creditable actors; some of whom have appeared to advantage in Broadway productions. Among these may be mentioned: Charles Gilpin who created the title role in "The Emperor Jones." Paul Robeson, who recently made a successful opening in "Show Boat," in London; Frank Wilson, who impersonates the crippled hero in "Porgy." Among the women who have Randolph Answers Lemus BY A. PHILIP RANDOLPH' In a long labored statement in The Age of May 12, on the con- tversity between Robert L. Vann and myself, Mr. Riichxi B. Lemus attempts to play the role of inter- preter. He begins by saying that "But if Vann were constrained by unreasonable consideration to measurement and union representatives, there is neither evidence of the fact nor reason for the conclusion" This is a mere statement which is supported by neither fact nor reason. Whatever Mr. Vann's motive was, it should require no long argument to show that his method was calculated to do more injury to the people of Sleeping Car Porters than good. This is evident by the fact that the Pullman Company forthwith began giving the Pittsburgh Courier to all of the porters in the various districts. Now it doesn't take a doctorate of philosophy to understand that the Pullman Company is not going to circulate anything which might be useful to Sleeping Car Porters, or for that matter the porters out of the Brotherhood. Now, how is it any intelligent person to view the conduct of Mr. Vann in this matter except that he is working more in behalf of the Pullman Company than the man who is the manager of Mr. Vann's sincerity. I observed that there is a colored gentleman in the wood pile somewhere, and that the Brotherhood is determined to smoke him out. I have not said who that colored gentleman is. If the cap doesn't fit Mr. Vann, why, he doesn't have wear it. There is no reason why any rational humans being should fly into tantrums about that. Now, what about Mr. Lemus observation that organizations, and not leaders are recognized? This is a half-truth. It is not possible to separate leaders from organizations. The fact that one leader is replaced by another doesn't alter the fact that the organization still has a leader. And it is amazing that Mr. Lemus is so naive and credulous as to take the position that a company should be permitted to dictate who the leader of a bona fide labor organization, representing the employees of that company, should be. If the Pullman Company has a right to tell the members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car, Porters that the present leader should get out, it has the right to tell them what leader should be put in. When this right is conceded by the Brotherhood to the Pullman Company, the Pullman porters will have no organization but only a Company union. This is so transparent, it ought to be obvious to persons who are not labor leaders, but Lemus seems to know more about politics than he knows about won recognition as skilled artists are Evelyn Ellis, Rose McClendon, Abby Mitchell. While 'none of these may perhaps rank as "it great actor," they have all won deserved recognition for earnest and skillful work in the portrayal of character in serious plays. The editor of The Advance should not be despondent in the fact that we have not yet produced what he calls "a great actor" nor a great play. Great actors are rare. birds. We should rather rejoice that we can count upon a few gifted artists, who are now engaged in serious work. The writing of a great play is a weightier matter, which will come with the ripening of the talent which has been made manifest in tentative efforts in that direction. The fact that the church is showing a friendly interest in the drama is significant. labor economics. It is indeed pathetic to see one who seems to be interested in labor, swept away by some alleged mysterious, political power which Mr. Vann is supposed to possess which can secure recognition of the Sleeping Car Porters. From my study of politics and politicians I have come to the conclusion that politicians as a rule cannot be trusted. They will promise you anything under, the sun when they know they cannot do anything they want, and propose to do what they promise, even if they could. Any labor organization is utterly lost which stakes its destiny upon the filmsy word of politicians, white or black. In this connection, I think it is worth noting that great results achieved by Mr. Lemus for the waiters through any political manipulations. His comments on the friendship of Mr. Vann for me is beside the point. Mr. Lemus' discussion of the present situation with regard to the porters' union is from the point of view of a typical politician, and he is entirely ignorant of general American labor history. He ought to know that American capital is not concerned about the politics of a leader of a labor organization. It is only concerned about the power of that organization. Mr. Lemus is a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, the former company owner, not granted his organization of waiters' any concessions of any consequences because of that fact. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, is a Republican, still the mine operators of Western Pennsylvania won't need the White House, nor the demolition of the Amalgamated Street Railway Union who has been trying to get a conference with Headley of the Interborough of New York? The Amalgamated Head is not a Socialist, but the Interborough won't meet him. They won't recognize the union the increase in President Green the in A. of L. F. of the Union. The union hasn't got sufficient power yet. It will only recognize a union when the union is able to compel it to do so. Whether the leader is a Democrat, a Republican or a Socialist is immaterial and irrelevant, the largest painters union in the world is Council No. 9 of New York, and it is led by a Socialist, so are all of the clothing unions. Neyal Thomas Banquet And N. A. A. C. P. Sabotage Editor of The New York Age This is May the 10th. I have just read a news story from Washington, D.C. about a banquet that was given to Neval H Thomas, president of the Association's branch there, on April 27th. Thomas deserves all the honor which any banquet could bestow upon. Put me to task for and don't forget it so I have also something else to say. This same news note went on to tell how there was a great storm on the banquet; night, and added very pointily that said storm did not prevent the notables of Washington from coming out to pay honor to Mr. Thomas, and then said with the boldest intimation: "THE STORM HOWEVER, SEREMED TO HAVE INTERFERED WITH COMMUNICATION AMONG THE EPHIGRAPHIC AS NEPTHIL LETTER NOR TELEGRAM OF REGRET WAS RECEIVED FROM A SINGLE NATIONAL OFFICER OF THE N A C A P." Ye gods! I 'William Pickens, and a "national officers of the N. A. A. C. P." and the first I hear of a banquet that look place on April 27th is when I read it in a newspaper two weeks afterwards—and yet the newspaper story blames me for not having put in my dutiful efforts—not even notified. And although I am a pretty humble cottail still I am not in the habit of sending letters or telegrams of "referent" that I must be present at social functions to which I have not been invited. Whether any other national officers were invited or notified I do not, know, and I will not, ask them before this letter has been published, because I want to hear sole response for or against me. I must as speak to one of the others, it may seem like inviting them to share the responsibility for what I am going to say. I can speak without hesitation because Neald Thomas knows that I The St. Louis Argus chronicled the passing through that city of the C. C. Pyle Los Angeles to New York cross country marathon runners as follows: The colored runners in the race and their numbers are Philip Granville, Camda, 84; Ed Gardner, Seattle, 165; Sammie Robinao, Atlantic City, 119; T. Josephs, Los Angeles, 117. Yesterday when the runners left Sullivan, Mo, Granville was in fourth place with a total lapse in time of 376.41:46, and Gardner was in sixth place with a total lapse in time of 382.37:01. During the week Granville has come into the control stations first every day. The leader of the race in the lap being run today from Hildale, Mo, 32 miles west of here, is expected to pass the intersection of Jefferson and I-40 in I, and judging from performances of the runners this week it will in all most ability he Philip Granville or Ed Gardner. The runners will be allowed to visit St. Louis, Friday evening through arrangement made between Jesse J. Johnson and Mr. Pyle. They will meet all St. Louisans at the Chaucer's club, where a dance and reception will be held. It is to be hoped that the social entertainment extended to the runners did not interfere with the splendid records they were making in this athletic contest. Discoursing on "The Magic of Decent Housing," the Cleveland Coll and Post said: A place in the sun. A chance to live like human beings in a civilized community. An opportunity for children to develop strong healthy vigorous bodies and for old and young alike to grow mentally and morally stronger. These are the reasons for the establishment of New York, who built the Rockefeller apartments in the heart of Harlem claims will follow his housing plan if he is permitted to develop it in the city of Cleveland. And well might Mr. Thomas make these claims and many others, for changing housing conditions and environment is probably more than nine-tenths of the law of human progress and development. Decent houses will work a magical effect upon the people who now because of economic and social circumstances are compelled to live in filth and squail, forced into contacts with all that is sinister, objectionable, or concerning in society and consequently resquared by others and made to feel themselves that they are the blege-water on our ship of state. The Cleveland editor insisted that it was the duty of the city to exercise its powers to the limit in removing the blot of bad housing conditions, which affect the colored citizens most keenly. The Chicago Whip handed out some plain talk on a delicate subject, in an editorial headed "Next to Godliness." We quote in part: Cleanliness is a quality that we should cultivate and practice. We have been keeping other people's homes clean, lo, these many years, and we know, just how to accomplish it. We, who do laboring work and are engaged in occupations that encounter dust, dirt, grime and filth should not appear in public in our homes have been an unwavering friend to him and his work for the N. A. A. C. A. C. makes me suspect that not a single person has received an invitation to Mr. Thomas's banquet—because I whom he KNOWS to be a friend, had to get first news of the banquet two weeks, after the event in a New York newspaper! The fact that I was not notified nor invited would also seem to indicate that it was not the fault of Thomas but perhaps of the banquet or the banquetmen, who were the one I not am blaming Thomas but the guilty party, whoever he was—even if it be Thomas. Can you see through the thine? It is a chain case of organizational sabotage. They, who had the authority to invite and to slight, said in their cunning: "Let us leave these fellows uninvited and then we can give them bell for not being present." Now, I am always reluctant to charge colored Americans with any specific weaknesses,—for what little I know seems to indicate that people of all races are on the average, very much alike. But I must say that I am sometimes almost altered by the extent of the low type of undercutting ammunition and flesh-chewing American theology, colored Americans are experiencing in trying to die heart-pain and surname-death-falls for each other, was expended in flipping side by side against their common enemies, they would soon become one of the most unstable minorities in the world. But they are certainly experts at dehumanizing runners traps for each other. Nothing could be shrewder than to force a follow into a situation and then to accuse him for being in an institution before refusing him an institution, and then to publish something to make it appear as if he were kept away by he himself or jealousy or something like that. Seriously Stop the sabbatim N A. A. C. P. is an INSTITUTION its life is indefinite. The sabbatim officers are EPS SODES; they will live for decades. We need the institution we can tolerate the errors working apparel. Too many of us leave the factories, the stockyards, the steel plants and other places where we are employed in our working clothes. We are compelled to come in contact with other people on public conveyances who do not want to contempt untidiness. We should change our clothes when we finish the day's work and appear in public clean and neat. It will help us in many ways. One of the reasons offered by the south for the Jim Crow cars is the fact that we sat down beside cleanly clad people reeking with foul odors and laden with the grime and dirt of our honest toil. We cannot afford to lay ourselves liable to any damage from the dust and it lies within our power to correct the evil of dirtiness and untidiness. Employers of labor could do much to encourage cleanliness by furnishing facilities for cleaning up and places to change clothes at the end of the day. 一 Looking backward upon the completion of its first year of existence, the *Twins-City* *Herald of Minneapolis* sees the need of public opinion becoming united in bringing about needed improvements. It said: Too little consideration is given us in the distribution of political patronage; witness the indifference toward the attempt to breach the walls surrounding the County Attorney's office. Tor little attention is paid by us to the manner and the places in which we spend our money; witness the fact of our growing unemployment quite frequently; and the admittedly economic depression. Too little attention is apparently being given our sick in public hospitals; witness the number of Negro deaths from the General Hospital, Minneapolis. Too much effort is required to arouse the needed interest in the various institutions which concern themselves with the vital growth of Negro advancement; witness the weakening churches, the languishing National Associations, the lackluster support of Civic organizations, these are the main reasons which the form of our public opinion has need to bestir itself. For this program of greater racial interest we urge the earnest support of every Twin City citizen who feels that it is possible to make conditions in these cities better. The Herald' hopes to devote much of its energies in coming issues to arousing that opinion. I has mapped out a task well worth its best efforts. Taking up the criticism directed against Secretary Hoover for abolishing segregation in his department, the Atlanta Independent said: None of the propaganda of these intellectual rises to the dignity of top and dropped it down the chimney. As she was breaking the bread when she was hungry, with faith in the Master that the bread would come. Some little mischievous bays heard her praying, gave a corn pome of bread, climbed into the house top and dropped it down the chimney. As she was breaking the bread and thanking God the little fellows ran into the house and told the old lady the bread and did it. She replied that it made no difference if God did send it by the devil, it was just as good and satisfied her hunter, and she thanked Him just the same. A good moral for those who say Secretary Hoover abolished secrecation in his department to make votes among Negroes. What if he did, secrecation is a political question. Editor Davis also contended that "it is wicked on the part of any of us to impart ulterior motives to the eminent Secretary." We fear Editor Davis is self-convicted of being wicked The dangers of a bankering for literature were illustrated by the following tale told in the column of "Gossip and Reflections" in the Cincinnati Union. A poor woman had saved her money until she had three dollars for she was just "crazy" to buy a book, "Cinninnatii's Colored Citizens." She wanted to read all about what her people had been doing here for over one hundred years. She also thought how how she showed him the wonderful book and what pleasure he would feel when at night after supper she would read it to him. Saturday came and so did Mrs. Maude Allen, who brought the book. The woman was tickled to death. So was her sister. They read and read. Looked at the beautiful picture of our people. Do you count the woman as beautiful when the husband came she ran to him waving the book, "Instead of enthralling he said, "Where did you get it?" "I bought it." "You know we can't afford to buy books." "But I saved my money for that. It is such a valuable book," "What you buy it for?" One word brought us another. The husband and I to throw it in the fire. She and her sister held on to the book. It was finally torn in two and he threw his half in the fire. She swore all the rocks she would save her money and buy another to read for herself and not for him, as she ad intended. The writer of the column, pre- sumably the author of the book, awarded his intention to present that woman a copy and take his chances of the husband coming after him. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Paradise Baptist Church Our services were very great and we were wonderfully entertained last Sunday, Mother's Day. We had Rev.

Special services were held in the open air at 3 p. m. at which time Bishop Manning officiated. We were pleased with the numbers that were present at the ceremony. It was the first service in the church building proper. Bithon Manning was well pleased with the progress that St. Martin's is making and said he hoped the time would not be long before they will be forced to lend a hand in building St. Martin's and restoring that which was lost. Now it is up to us to use our interest and work, to make this a theme of reality. Amanda will visit the house D. L. Emert Sunderland, curator of the City Mission Society on the Rev C. A.

The services at Grace Church were well suited to warm the hearts of the people. Their was, as usual, a valuable role in the pastor, whose theme was taken from Isaiah 66:13. The pastor gave five lessons from the first 1. Simplicity of teaching: 4. Simplicity for the importance: 3. Simplicity for the pleasure: 4. Favoritism is for the best: 5.

He quoted himself. He quoted himself by Abraham Lincoln John Quincy Adams and Franklin coining their mothers. He spoke of his faith in his child he has cherished in infants, him in times of trouble and danger and of his great love that can touch the heart destiny "The dream of children was touching and anointing refreshing the meaning of her whom we all love."

Rakestraw, delivered a soul stirring sermon, which went to the hearts of the large congregation, he took his text from the 19th chapter of the Gospel of St John. We should set aside this day as Mother's Day, and pay our reverence, singing and the dead, and ever remember her over all others, for our all attainments are due to them. The pastor quoted a few lines of Abraham Lincoln, "All that I am and hope to be are due to my Angel Mother." He further stated that the Israelites were delivered by Moses mother. Even Christ awed a woman who was Holy and Divine, some of His works in life were due to some of the characteristics of his earthly mother. The pastor continued, saying that a mother denies herself a great many privileges of life for the sake of her children, because it is pleasure for her. She is, even a woman with child, shining and constructing the lives of men and intermingling His word. In conclusion, the pastor impressed upon his audience, that mothers are monuments of love and care, and on this special day we ought to decide to honor God and conform to our Mother's wishes. In answer to the pastor's plea many united with the church. NEW ASIAN BAPTIST CHURCH, 13th Street, between 7th & Lenox avenues.

Following this came the 11 a.m. service, when the choir, having prepared special music for *Mother's Day*, caused all hearts to rejoice as they lifted their voices in songs of praise. The pastor preached a touching sermon on "Not Despising Mother." The Sunday school was directed by sister Chara Moore, in the absence of the unattendent, with a number of pupils and teachers present, and all were helped by the lesson of the day. In the afternoon, although it was thanksgiving day for the Oldfellows, when many of the members were away attending services, yet Rev W. W. Monroe, assistant pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, came down and under auspices of the Cheerful Guild Club, opened a wonderful sermon on Mother. The president of the club was gratified at having so large a number present at having a day, and the club caused himself by making pre- In the evening the pastor spoke on Dr. Davenport. The attendance was reiterating cohesion the day. On the whole we had a delightful and enjoyable day of services in God's house. Services were well attended last Sunday. At the morning hour, Eld. White of Washington, D. C., filled the pulit. He preached from Psalms 51: 8-12. "Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Restore unto me the joy of the Lord and include with the joy of the flesh! Subject, "The joy of salvation." We have before us this morning the words of David who is said by the word of the Lord to have been human after God's own heart; one that desired a heart to please God. David knew what it was to have the joy of fellowship with God, and have it taken away through sin and oblivience, and then have greater joy, we the joy of salvation restored. He failed the Lord; therefore, he cried unto the Lord in the language of the text, "Make me to joy and gladness." vation" and uphold "as with The free Spirit." Some of us, know also what it is to have a little joy in what is commonly called religion; but every honest enlightened heart cries out for the greater joy of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which is the joy of salvation. Religion (which is but a man's belief coupled with 'monastic vows') will allow him to do to he as he pleases, but salvation which comes by the New Birth of Water and Spirit, will make a man walk uprightly. First, David desired a clean heart for the indwelling of the Spirit; and after a clean heart, he wanted the right he as he; the way well for us he as he; the Spirit is the WORD of God, for the right Spirit came according to the word: "with signs following." "When one shall have received the right Spirit, the joy of salvation will come. When the joy of salvation comes, then shall ye teach transgressors God's ways; and sinners SHALL be converted unto Him. That is, you just (automatically) by the Spirit become a witness to tell God's word, that He act of God's word, that He act of the slew and hanged on a tree, that same Jesus, is made both Lord and Christ. And this salvation of which we speak comes through His name. At the evening, the pastor preached from Isaiah 30:27, "Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far burning with anger, and the burden thereof is heavy; his lips are full of indignation, and His tongue as a devouring fire." Eld. Lawson rehearsed and explained this scripture in his proper setting, touching the hilt of the sword, the obedience and sin, how God allowed them to be huffed and scourged by war and cantivity until they repented. He applied the same to the condition that now prevailed in the midst of the religious profession, and declared the same judgment and woe upon those that exhibit the same fruit of unrighteousness and disobedience, warning them of taking the Name of the Lord in vain and using it in profanity, telling them the judgment and anger of Lord's Lord, and some unction them for doing, and the woe that is accompanied upon the inhabitants that are mutilated of the wrong usage of the PRECIOUS NAME." Mother's Day, observed, by special sermon, program with appropriate songs and compliments, and carnations for mother. Fleet Street Memorial In observance of Mother's Day on Sunday, glowing tributes were paid to God's great gift to humanity, "Mother," in churches, in the parks and in homes, with sermons, ceremonies and more intimate expressions. Rev. H. B. Norville preached at the morning service in this church to the deaf and large congregation "Taking Care of the School." A pleasing program was presented at the Sunday school hour by members of the various departments of the school. At 5:30 p.m. funeral services over the remains of Miss Elizabeth Bell, formerly of Elizabeth City, N. C., were held. The deceased was one of the promising young girls of the race, faithful and devoted to this church of which she was a member and deeply interested in the unlift of humanity. At the time of her death, she was a student at Livingstone College. At the evening service, Rev. J. P. Massey held the attention of the congregation, smokey as he was directed by the holy spirit. Holy communion will be admin- dicated Sunday afternoon at three clock P. DIDGE St A. M. E. Church The associate pastor, the Rev. James A. Manning; delivered a powerful two-fold sermon Sunday morning to a congregation that filled the church to capacity. It aroused the vast throng to a high point of religious fervor. It was two-fold in that it was a communion day sermon and also paid a high tribute to mother inasmuch as it was Mother Day. Tayler was 23-24. Dr. Manning is in charge of the pulpit while the pastor, Dr. Tyler, leader of the delegation, is at the general conference. He vividly outlined the origin of the Day of Atonenem as mentioned in the text and stated that it was a day set aside by God and that it symbolized the death and suffering of Jesus Christ. He contrasted the death of Jesus with the cleansing himself for his sins and those of his people with Christ who was sinless, in order to atone for us. While Aaron was the high priest of his people, Christ was the High Priest of all peoples, and was the High Priest of our salvation. As Aaron was a laborious priest so was Christ, who labored for us and who helped the men of the sins of the whole world. Dr. Manning paid a high tribute to mother and stated that mother love was next to that of God. Who gave His only begotten Son in order that those who believed on Him might be saved. Right persons, joined the church. Nearly 500 people were served the communion. This was one of the largest communions served at this period of the year.

Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor in his annual Mother's Day sermon, "The ideal elements of a mother are godliness, unselfishness and progressiveness. Such mothers are guiding angels. Three thines line up for human safety: Selfhood, Motherhood, Godhood." At the evening hour there was a World Peace Meeting under auspices of the fellowship of Faiths when representatives from various groups told of their contribution to peace and goodwill. Refreshments were served at the close of the service by Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Winder and committee.

Concord Baptist Church Pre-eminent through Sunday, May 13, was the figure of "Mother." In the Sunday school, she sat with kindly face as her children gathered round speaking and singing her praise, in tableau. During the church service she spoke from heaven to hearts of wayward men and women and brought them forward confessing Christ. The message cried shame on those mothers who today give door, keys to their young sons and daughter, to go bed and sleep not knowing at what hour they come treading softly in with shoes in hand. The message cried honor and glory to the mothers who yesterday had only tethered to them inside, who watched for the return and knew at what hour it would be, and never slept until each child was in the home. Closing, the "Mothers' Appeal", Rev. James B. Adams said, "The greatest joy of the month is when her child presents to God for safekeeping by the Master for moulding new manhood and womanhood. The B.

Dr. Fredrick Gosnell, president of the Kirkland Friends of Christies will be the speaker Sunday morning. Siloam Presbyterian Services were in keeping with Mother's Day throughout the day at Siloam. At the morning hour of worship Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, portrayed Mother, in a personality that counts and honors the innocence, never dies, whose life is one of service and sacrifice. The man by the chair, under direction of William A. White, organist-director, was composed of selections relating to the home and the love of Mother Mrs. Edith M. Cody pleasantly rendered "Mother o' Mine." At this morning hour echelon of the Church Day Conference brought to the church by William Hinds, Ceil Forster and Donald M. Taylor, representatives. The Bible school met in general session. After a brief opening exercise, the junior department of the school, Mrs. John Hargrave, attentive, presented an interesting and pleasing Mother's Day program, instrumental numbers and a responsive reading in which the attribuent of the Mother character were portrayed. The second of the vesser services under the direction of Elders, Boger and Edwards was held from six until seven o'clock. An excellent program was rendered. Several of the selections hearing on the sentiments of Mother and honoring her parents. Next Sunday evening, the Somerset War Veterans will hold their annual service.

MAY 19, 1928 By JAMES B. CLARKE, Hampton Institute—Lincoln University, represented by twenty-five men, ran riot over Hampton and Union, to win the collegiate division of the C. I. A. A. track meet. While Cheney of Pennsylvania had a close run to, win in the schol- pastic section of the meet held in Armstrong Field on Saturday. Lincoln came first with 49 points; Hampton second with 36 1-2 points; and Union University third with 26 points in the collegiate division; In the secondary division, Cheney was first with 25 points, Borden- down was second with 22 points, and Booster T. Washington High was third with nine points. The exciting and thrilling race of the day was the sprint medley which was won by Union. Along with the winning of the race went the Southern Aid Society of Virginia Trophy. The race was close from start to finish, and it seemed for a time that Hampton was going to capture it, but her anchor man, Calhaway, could not muster up enough energy to come in ahead. Four Records Broken. Hampton and Tuskegee ran the relay for the Robert S. Abbott Trophy. Hampton had a little competition but even though the was not close Hampton's time was only 4-10 of a second off the old record set by Howard in 1923. Captain Booker of Union set a new record in the broad jump by leaping the old record 1 foot 1 inch. This record is through the air. Captain Booker was also entered in all of the dashes and the relay. Two other seconds that fell were those, by Robert A. Coles for the mile and two mile runs. Mitchell of Lincoln shaded 7-0 of a second off the mile record, and - and 8-10 seconds from the two mile record. Mitchell was quite an attraction as he ran both races with perfect ease. Lincoln set another record when Bryant threw the shot put 40 feet 1-2 inches, which is 1 foot 6 inches farther than the old record. In the century dash great things were expected of Colling, the star of the Tuskegee meet from Port Valley High and Industrial School but he could not make the stride and fell after crossing the finishing line. In the 220 yard dash, however, he stepped into a class all by himself. He won the 220-yard dash with Breaux and Webb, both of Union, close at his heels. His time was 22 1-5 seconds, in the face of a head wind. New Scholastic Record. In the scholastic section one record fell when Diggs, Union High of Hampton, made a scholastic record even with the collegiate record for the pole vault. In the 440-yard dash for ten James L. Thatcher Trophy. Baldwin ran a beautiful race to win a field of twenty contestants. In the start he was boxed in neatly but out and took the lead about 220 yards from the start and finished well ahead of the pack with a time of 51.8 seconds. Bulldog Williams, a record holder for the high hurdles, ran his last race for Hampton and won. Goles, a new track star for Hampton, drove in second. The meet as a whole was well managed under the skillful direction of Howard P. Drew, one of the joint record holders of the 100-yard dash. The events went off smoothly with the hundred athletes, in action as all times. The William S. Parker trophy for the half mile went to Silvera of Lincoln. The trophy is the statuette of a runner done in silvert. It was one of the best trophies at the meet. The beautiful Frank A. Young National High School one-mile relay cup, went to Manassas after a hard fight with, Bordentown Bordentown had a strong lead, all the way, until the last lap, when Manassas's strong anchor man picked up the lead and won. Hamilton, N. Y.—In a closely confessed track meet here Saturday, New York University defeated Colgate by 65-2-3 points to 60. Phil Edwards, Negro middle-distance runner, was the star of the breast. Edwards took first place in the half mile race, and second in the quarter mile. In the Realm of Sport and the Theatre Eastern League Standing W. L. RCT.

The local team won the first game 8-7, but, was defeated 12-4 in the other contest. It was Hildale's first appearance at Protectory Oval since early last season and a large crowd was on hand to witness the contests. Two former Hildale players, George Carr and "Nip" Winters, were largely responsible for the Lincoln's victory. After the first pitched in early innings, Winters pitched hit ball and aided his team at bat by hitting a home run. Carr also hit a home run. Other homers were made in this game by Spearman and Riggins. In the second contest, Daly Cooper was on the mound for the visitors and with the exception of Manager Lloyd, the local team was unable to do anything with his offerings. Lloyd made a home run and a single in four times at bat during this game. Thomas led Hillade with the willow by getting four hits in five times at the plate; this included a home run and a two bagger. Walt Cannady also hit a homer.

Bojangles Robinson's Dancing Featured In 'Blackbirds of 1928' By BURNS MANTLE (In The Daily News) You can, being interested in the colored brother and his colored sister as entertainers, pick your black- birds from either side of 42nd st. this summer. Two colored troupes, Mr. Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928," which came to the Liberty fast night, (Wednesday) an Mr. Conrad's "Keep Shufflin'" at the Eltinge, are already nesting comfortably on the south side of the street, and in another week "Porgy" returns to the Republic on the north. Mr. Leslie's "Blackbirds" is, I think, the best of the black revues of recent seasons. A large, swiftly moving, panoramic entertainment, dotted with talent and never permitted to sink into sluggish attempts at wit in imitation of the whites. They Do Their Stuff It excels, as few of the colored reyes manage to do, in those departments of entertainment to which the colored performers are peculiarly fitted. The singing is done by a full-throated choir that manages to go spiritual on occasion; and then turn back to jazz without jarring the harmonies or the sensibilities. The troune is spiritedly led by Adelaide Hall and, Aida Ward Miss Hall specializes in character songs which she sings with enthusiasm, and the milder wiggle dances, which she leads with discretion. Miss Ward sings the more antibulous ballads, indulging the funtiones of a whip-poor-will, or it may be a lark, whenever the occasion and the scoring permit. Bill Considerable Dancer There is also Bill Johnson, a favorite of the dance fans who has somehow managed to keep out of our sight the last several months. Bill is among the two or three great tap dancers of the day. For a quarter hour last night the show was absolutely his and his alone. And then he generously passed a bit of it back to his partner, Miss Hall. Tum Moore is the comedian. A large boy with a good sense of the colored man's fooling. I liked the round-faced Blue McMister, too. Blue being a healthy Aunt Jemima imitator and a dancer of parts. I was glad to note that the two or three sketches used are smartly staged and quickly brought to their anecdotal conclusion, and not one of them is as coarse as those the white revues favor. The settings, and costumes are bright, never garish, and in good taste. Mr Leslie. I think, is to he congratulated. He can, if he insists, call himself the "Ziegfeld of Harlem" and if Mr. Ziegfeld doesn't object I shall not. John Gilbert In "Love" At Douglass Theatre Greta Garbo had an experience not vouchsafed most actresses—for when she played the role of Anna Karenina in "Love," she was playing the role of her favorite heroine in her favorite novel. In the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production. "Love," adapted from the Tolstoi classic, John Gilbert and she head a notable cast in a vivid recreation of the celebrated Russian romance. "It is a fad among literary people," says Miss Garbo, who plays "Anna" in the new picture, at the Douglas Theatre, "to name the ten books they would choose if they were to be marooned on a desert island. If I had to name such a list, I think 'Anna Karenina' would head it I first read the book in Swedish at home. It is not a book but an experience. "I have found it in the libraries of the world—in French, in German, in English and Italian. My hope and prayer is that I have brought to the screen some of the real character of the heroine as Tolstoi envisioned her." Edmund Gculding directed the new picture, with a remarkable cast that includes George Fawcett, Brandon Hurst, Phillippe DeLacy, Emily Fitzroy and many others of "The Road to Romance" Coming to the Lincoln Ramon Novarro in the role of an adventurous Spanish don comes to the Lincoln Theatre, Monday, in "The Road to Romance," his latest starring vehicle for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film is an elaborate picture-taker of Conrad's famous sea story, "The Road to Romance," and provides Novarro, in its swash-buckling hero, one of the most colorful, fiery roles of his career. As the courageous youth of an aristocratic family, he sails from Madrid for Cuba to rescue his cousin, Serafina, who is about to fall into the hands of Don Balthasar, a political rogue. It is in the days when piracy flourished upon the Caribbean and the West Indies were a Edited by WILLIAM E. CLARK Although she went abroad* as a chorus girl, and in less than two years became internationally famous, Josephine Baker wants to quit the stage and return to her people in New York and St. Louis, according to reports reaching The Age last week. Miss Baker would even give up her husband, the Italian count, if this would enable her to get back to America. But it seems that she signed a contract which gave her the option of renewals, and she has made so much money for him that he has no intention of letting her quit the stage at the height of her popularity. Miss Baker told Lew Leslie, when he was abroad with the late Florence Mills and her company, that she wud like to return home about the first of this year. Mr. Leslie had planned an elaborate welcome for her in New York, and, after she had rested awhile, to present her in a Broadway revue. But after spending nearly $1,000 in cablegrams and other negotiations with her manager, he was unable to effect a release from her Europe to accepting to Mr. Leslie, only sickness can give the little colored star a vacation at this time. Since completing her-engagement in Paris, Miss Baker has appeared in Berlin and Vienna, and is now playing in Budapest. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER Union causes cancellation of midnight benefit show of the Florence Mills Memorial Fund at the Howard Theatre, Washington, D.C. Tuesday night, May 8. The house was sold out and many prominent actors were to appear. Rather than have the theatre-going public disappointed by the failure of advertised stars to appear, the Howard Theatre management called the show off. The Howard Theatre was not interested financially in the Florence Mills Memorial Fund. show. The use of the theatre and the services of its employees was donated by Mr. A. E. Lichtman who said, "If Pelham has anything against me or my theatres, why take it out on the Florence Mills memorial?" Mr. Lichtman also said that he was ready to fight to a finish with the Union. We are going to continue our business as we see fit. If public sentiment is with us, we will win if it is against us we will lose. --- Douglas (Slim) Henderson, com- edian, who made the West Indian Blues famous, died Wednesday, May 9, at 2 p. m.

That Ralph Forbes and Marcelline Day play their roles in a most convincing manner is nothing new for players of their standing because they have often proved their ability in other motion pictures. The really remarkable thing about this production is the fine acting of Flash, a new screen star recently signed by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer and who is to be starred in a number of film productions. The dog is much more beautiful than any other canine yet seen on the screen and goes through his role with almost human intelligence. If there is such a thing as a dog having "it," or "screen personality," Flash has both to the extent that he dominates every scene he is in. This is not because of any fault of the human actors but because of the uniqueness of both role and actors. Harry Bolden is at the Park Theatre, Reading, Pa.

Robinson's New Hit at Lafayette Next Week Carence Robinson, co-producer of "Keep Shuffling" and one of the blest of theatrical producers, will present his latest musical comedy at the Lafayette Theatre next week. It will be called "All board" and promises to be one of the fine comedies you produced. The Four Pepper Shakers, Mason and Bailey, Johnson and Brown, Mercia Marquez, Susaye Brown, Dirksen and Cassidy are in the cast. LeMaire and Josie, one of the best-known Spanish dancing team will also be in the cast. Robinson will introduce a decided novelty in "All Aboard" by using Buddy Walker and his Commodores to provide the music. This is one of the best bands on the stage, having recently performed on Broadway in the Capitol Theatre. Audiences who "have heard the bands under the direction of Sam Wooding, Charlie Johnson, Chuck Webb and Fletcher Henderson on the Lajayette Theatre" will be delighted at the opportunity to hear Buddy Walker's aggregation for it will give them an opportunity to compare the playing of the best colored bands with that of one of the best white bands. The feature picture which will be presented next week together with "All Aboard" will be "Babe Comes Home" a stirring romantic drama, featuring Babe Ruth. The management of the Lafayette Theatre is trying to arrange for several personal appearances of Babe Ruth during the week. They have the assurances of the owners of the Yankees that if the Bambino can attend the showings of the picture without rousing the wrath of his trainee, that he will be permitted to come.

WHITE BERNERDINE MASON, CONTRALTO, IS HEARD IN TOWN HALL BY AUDIENCE THAT APPRECIATES HEAVY PROGRAM Bernerdene Mason, contralto, of Orange, N. J., a product of the Wilson Lamb Music Studios, made her second appearance in a downtown concert hall on Wednesday evening, May 9, when she was presented at Town Hall by Prof. Lamb in a recital for benefit of the West 16th Street Branch Y. M. C. A., before an audience that made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers. Mme. Mason possesses a voice of unusual quality in tonal depth and coloring, and her program was calculated to accent these particular essentials. Russian songs by Tschalkowsky, Spirituals arranged by Dr. Harry T. Burleigh, a group of art songs, and several operatic arias were interpreted by the turtist, and in most of these numbers there was little to lighten the texture of her offerings. The result was that the audience was kept in a state of tenseness throughout, but this threw no damper on their appreciation. This reviewer is not in agreement with that part of the usual concert audiences which would lower the standard of an artist's offering in order to cater to the untrained or undeveloped musical intelligences, but he is of the opinion that some of our most sincere artists are mistaken in not offering a wider diversity in their programed numbers and a greater versatility in interpretation. In Mme. Mason's case, I am of the opinion that she is following religiously the precept and 'example of her instructor, whose most dominant characteristic is that of staid dignity, both mental and physical. But sometimes it happens that these qualities, most desirable when attached to the male, become stiff and stilted when essayed by the female. I am sure that Mme. Mason, most attractive in personality and charming in mien in her social and personal contacts, would not lose by a freer exercise of these qualities while on the concert platform. Then the audience would be able to relax and enjoy to the fullest the remarkable beauty of her remarkable voice, and she would be enabled to exhibit a range of interpretation impossible of display through the program she offered on this occasion. And, too, there was a somberness in her garb that contributed to the general darkness of the atmosphere. In her singing of the first group—"Farewell" and "Why?" by Tschaikowsky, with Dargomijsky's 'Only Love' in between, the artist was most happy in interpretation, and she was equally as facile in the rendering of "Happy Lovers" by Lane Wilson; "Fairy, Pipers" by Brewer and "The day is no more" by Carpenter. The high light of the evening was in her singing of the group of Spirituals by Burleigh, which were "Go down, Moses," "Wade in de water" and "Evry time I feel the Spirit," to which was added "Deep River." It was a thrilling event. Her operatic offerings were "Stride la vampa" from Verdi's "Il Trovatore"; "Amour, viens aider" from Saint-Saens' "Samson et Delhi"; "Give ye gay lords" from Meyerbeer's "Gli Ugonotti"; "Oh Harp Immortal" from Gounod's "Sappho," with a Debussy air, "Il pleure dans mon cocur." Cora Wymn Alexander, who is teacher of the pianoforte in the Wilson Lamb Studio in Orange, was the accomplished and entirely satisfactory accompanist. MARTIN-SMITH SCHOOL GIVES FINE PROGRAM ON ITS 21st ANNIVERSARY Notwithstanding an insistent rain a splendid audience greeted the pupils of Martin-Smith Music School, Inc., in their twenty-first annual recital at Manhattan Casino on Friday night, May 11. The boxes were filled, most of the loges were occupied, and reserved seat chairs covered more than half of the spacious floor space. The lengthy program, in three parts, started as was necessary, promptly at the stated hour, and students of the school gave an exhibition of their work on piano, violin and saxophone. Those taking part in this exhibition were: PIANOS—Rose Smith, Jennie Vosburg, William Henry, Elizabeth Summons, Rose Jordan, Edward Carr, Inez Smith, Ruby Harris, Loretta Anthony. VIOLINS—Jerome Rufus, Walter Trent, Eric Layne, Bernice Cransten, Winston Collymoe, Romaine Brown. SAXOPHONE—William Henry Pitts. All of these folks gave commendable performances, but it remained for little Romaine Brown, just 6 years old, to stir the audience to enthusiasm with his playing of Rubinstein's Melody in F, with his teacher, Miss Gertrude E. Martin, at the piano. This tiny chap, just a little bigger than his fiddle, played with an accuracy and precision that was unusual, with a fine sense of rhythm and attack, and with a clean-cutonal accentuation. He was called back later by a special request and repeated his number. The Young People's Orchestra, directed by the talented Miss Martin, gave as. Part II of the program a Beethoven Suite, and this charming young miss displayed authority and intelligence in her conducting. For the final section of the program, the Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David I. Martin II, director of the school which his father founded, a girls' chorus directed by Miss Minnie Brown, the well known soprano, a dance duo, violin and vocal soloists, and Edward H. Margetson, who has won recent honors as a composer, guest piano soloist, cave a more sophisticated program. The principal feature of this section was the First Movement of a Concerto by Mendelssohn for piano and orchestra, with Mr. Margetson at the piano. This young artist displayed virtuosity, with a dexterous technique. The orchestra, under Mr. Martin's baton, played with efficiency, developing a solid and colorful background to the pianist's performance. Another interesting number was a tenor solo by Oscar Reed, a pupil of Mine, Marie Selika, who in years past was acknowledged in America and Europe as an artist of the first rank. Mr. Reed sang Dudley Bunk's "The shadows deepen on the castle walls," and proved to be a promising young singer. Nadia McCall and Roland Walthall, two contestants, played the Sette Concerto, No. 1, for violin and orchestra, and the Misses Gertrud, Courdene and Virginia Branham gave a charming dance, the "Kiwi stether Vindobona," by Godowsky. The kite chorus, with Miss Brown directing, sang "Goin' Home," by Loomak, with Miss Anthony at the piano, and then, with the orchestra, Mr Martin conducting, sang Dett's "I'm so glad trouble don't hurt me." Miss Leola Hunt, a promising soprano, was soloist for the orchestra numbers were the Gluck overture, "Phi-phi-phi," and the familiar "Pomp and Circumstance" by Elgar. The whistles were W. Clinton Holloway, Herbert Harris, Hilliard Ear, Willham C. Perry, James Harris, Alfred McNichol, Dr. W. J. Roberts, Roberts, with E. N. Parks and Marion McNichols in the office, and George Thompson at the door. The program girls were the Misses Lillian Moore, Sadie and Clara Noyes, Rosa Poundexter, Gertrude Gardeen and Virginia Branham. After the program, the John C. Smith Modern Dance Orchestra played for dancing, with James N. Anderson and Reginald A. Bean as floor managers. Mr. Gertrude H. Martin, widow of the late David I. Martin, founder of the school, is president of the school, with Miss Lillian Shutter as secretary and Dr. A. T. Robinson as treasurer of the board of directors. MUSIC WEEK PROGRAMS AT Y. M. C. A.

A. E. Macauley, assistant educational director, Sierra Leone, British West Africa, told students of the Tuskegee Institute.

He has predicted dire consequences to that province if it should be a part of self-governing India. It would be a mere Cinderella in the Indian Commonwealth, with no real voice in the management of its own affairs. And as an independent state it would simply be crushed between India and China. Ergo, Burma should best coiffiners to remain a preserve for Britishers. As one of the heaven-appointed Trustees, he knows best the good and the millions of India, Burma and Ceylon. It is curious that while Sir Reginald is exhibiting his solicited for the welfare of Burma, his countrymen in the province are forcing a poll-tax on its inhabitants almost at the point of bayonets, and that the latter have started a no-tax campaign along with complete boycott of the statutory Simon Commission. But Sir Reginald may prate while he may. He can only amuse one now and he will not amuse long. All over the civilized world opinion is gaining ground that eight hours a day should be the limit for human manual toil. Practically all countries represented at Geneva at the International Labor Conference have accepted this limit in the interest of the workers welfare. The Government of India, however, does not consider it necessary to fall in line with this humanitarian attitude. In introducing the Mines Bill as amended by the Select Committee, Sir B. N. Mitra said in the Legislative Assembly this week that it was an "improvement on the present position" that the bill should place a limit of twelve hours on the daily hours of work in the Indian mines. So callous is the Government attitude towards this subject that Mr. Joshi who had written a minute of dissent to the Select Committee's report and had the support of three other members for his point of view could not secure an even assurance from Sir Mitra that the mine workers would receive better treatment in future legislation. Hollow Excuse. Sir B. N. Mitra assured the Assembly that restricting the hours of work in mines to twelve hours per day was in fact the "first step" in the direction of regulating such hours of work. If this is the first step, it is only a melancholy indication of how anteleduvian is the attitude of the Government of India towards questions of apollioration of the workers' lot in this country. Sir B. N. Mitra had a number of unconvincing arguments to put forward to justify the Government's attitude of indifference to the workers' lot in another di-Institute and Paine College. State won from Walker Baptist 7-1, lost to Hames 5-6, and won from Paine 3-2. Professor Leroy H. Stimeford, Acting Director of the School of Business, Hampton Institute, visited the College April 16, and spent a part of two days looking over the plant and, work of several departments. A meeting of representatives of the Georgia-Carolina Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association was held here April 21 to revise the constitution and arrange schedules for next fall.

McGhee, Claflin College; W. C. Evin, Voorhees Institute; M. W. Fort and H. E. Daniels, State College; and Student C. L. Vance of Harrison College. WARNING!

He expressed the inability of the Government of India to ratify the draft convention and recommendations adopted at the tenth International Labor Conference at Geneva, because of the ridiculous difficulty they imposed themselves in, the difficulty that there exist various systems of medicine in India and that Indian workmen have migratory tensions. It is an insult to the lignence of not only the Legislature Assembly but to the whole nation to these filmy excuses. Driven To Despair. When N. M. Joshi wished to raise the question of the Lilooovah workshop (near Howrah, Calcutta of the E. I. Railway in the isolative Assembly, only a few days ago, as a matter of urgent importance, Sir George Rainy insisted the idea of bringing every strike for discussion in the Assembly. Driven to despair the strikers at Lilooovah have taken resort to picketing and the efforts to draw out the men who had not joined them in strike to a conflict with the police. The disturbance was tackled in a manner which has become usual with the police in this country in their dealing with the strikers. The crowd was fired upon and this dustrial dispute in Calcutta between the railway and its employees had had its toll of two deaths and several wounded. Is it not the responsibility of the Government who could have avoided these incidents by prompt inquiries, which could also have averted the strike. General Avari. The publicity officer of the Central Province Government informs the press that General Avari, not dead, but is alive, and that he left hunger strike on February last. As he is not abiding by the regulations of the leniency authorisation he is not given the leniency of freedom under gaol laws. The writer does not know what of freedom now is needed. General Avari, who was long reported to be dead. His freedom is completely cut off. If he is alive why did the Government of Central Provinces refuse the plain request of Budorji Bharucha to permit him to see General Avari from a distance? If at all he is alive there is every possibility of Government forcing diet upon him and that he is seriously ill. All news concerning his health are widowed from the public. Public Apprehension Justified When there appeared sometime back an inquiry in the press whether the Government of India thinks of creating a North-Eastern Frontier, the Government plainly refused to answer: this properly Lanning Worthington, the war secre- tary, had come and gone, and now there leaks out something from the mouth of the Government of Assam of the necessity of creat- ing North Eastern Frontier evidently with a view to stop the communist wind blowing from the province of Muan, or it might be possible for the British to pave a path for encroachment on the Chinese province of Yuan under the garb of rule and justice and protection of their oil fields. WARNING! The Police Department is sending out a general warning to parents, urging them to cautious their boys against swinging on running boards and rear platforms of street cars. This is a dangerous practice and the police have been given orders to arrest all boys caught jumping on cars and they will be tried and fined in court.

PORO COLLEGE 100 St. Ferdinand Avenue T. LOUIS, NO. U. B. A. DEPT THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES "Dear Mr. Lancaster: "When you asked me recently if I would publish letter from you n my column in The Age, I promised you that I would. This promise was given without thought as to what you had in mind for making this request, and what would be the tenor of the letter. Never-belief, I was surprised on its receipt to learn that you merely wanted to question me regarding my attitude towards the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters movement. You arrived at this specific query by proposing a number of other questions and enumerating a series of instances which, to your mind and interpretation, made you doubtful concerning where I stand on this Brotherhood subject." Some of the instances you mention are observations which are partially true, while others are observations of your own figment. But aside from that, what astonished me most was the fact that you deemed it necessary to resort to the formality of a letter to make the inquiry. Considering the frequency with which you and I meet, this strikes me as being odd to say the least. "However, I have kept my promise to you, and upon me no further consideration regarding your letter is involved. According to my way of thinking, the better way for you to have proceeded, if you merely wanted to know my personal opinion about the Brotherhood and its activities, would have been for you to have invited me around to your office so we could talk the matter over. Conferences are usually more satisfactory, as well as more effective, than communications. It is this thought that is partly responsible for my delay in answering your letter, for my first mind was not to give it any reply. Later, I decided I would. I am not going to essay an answer to each of your queries and observations, for unless my answers coincided with your views, which I am positive they would not, they will simply be "waste paper", so why be extravagant with paper, to say nothing about time? "You begin your letter by saying the conclusion is inescapable, alter reading some of my weekly contributions and consulting your clippings book, that my enthusiasm for the Brotherhood movement, where not conspicuous by its absence, is decidedly lukewarm. Have you ever thought to ask yourself why? As a writer of Pullman Porters News, has the Brotherhood ever extended any courtesies to me, such as it has extended to others who have commented on its activities? Has it ever invited me to any of its conferences and so forth? Then, too, I might remind you that not all the porters are in sympathy with these activities. "Furthermore, no matter what my personal feelings might be, my fervor and interest couldn't possibly compare with yours. It is hardly necessary for me to mention why. "Your next observation is that I advised the porter in the beginning of the movement to be discreet. Was that adyice amiss, when it is considered under what circumstances the movement was born? Is it ever wrong or improper to advice prudence in a new or fresh adventure? Yes, I counseled caution, and I am still counselling it among the porters. "I next find you distorting one of my assertions on the raise of pay of the porters by the following item which you have culled to suit yourself: 'This was followed by a lightly veiled attempt to show that the Pullman Company wasn't making enough profits to pay the increase the porters demanded, and that white men stood ready to take the porters' jobs.' What I did say was that at the industrial conference of the porters, which was held in Chicago shortly after the movement started, the management of the company told the delegates to that meeting that the company could not afford to pay the porters the increase of wages they were demanding. This, by me, was a citation and not an opinion. But concerning white men taking the places of the porters, the only error I made was in the matter of color. Brown men were ready and did do this very thing. "You next tell me that I sneered at the support given the Brotherhood by other labor organizations and questioned the ability of the N. A. A. C. P., to understand the conditions surrounding the porters work, I confess that I did hold, and still do, prejudice against certain labor bodies which have interested themselves in the present movement. This feeling dates back to the time of the old Brotherhood of Pullman porters. In 1918 the chances for establishment of a union among the porters were exceedingly favorable. W. J. McAdgo, the then director general of railroads, was holding open the doors of unionism to all classes of railroad workers, but these same organizations to which you allude stood by with folded arms and compressed lips, so far as Pullman porters were concerned. They stood idly and silently by and saw these black workers, untrained in the methods of labor organizations, attempting to rise upon their feet, to walk, as the little toot who essays to make its first step without its mother's aid. But unlike the parent, they saw the eager but inexperienced walkers start, fumble and then fall sprawling without one word of advice or one gesture of help. "In relation to the N. A. A. C. P., I admit I did say it should go slow in injecting itself into the activities of the movement. If the Pittsburgh Courier is correct in its assertion, I have more than been justified in that suggestion. The time is, now at hand that, had it kept aloof, this association might have been of inestimable help to the porters. Of course, you may not think so, but that doesn't make this assertion any the least true. "You next chide me for 'velled aspersions' cast on the leaders of the movement and sneers at the contention that the porters are underpaid." Now, Mr. Lancaster, unfortunately for this case, anyway, the English language is an extremely pliable language. Insofar as the various aspersions, sneers and cynicisms with which you have charged me, I can only say your interpretation of my thoughts and opinions is due to the flexibility of the language. So, I shall not dwell on the many sneers, anyway, with which I am charged. To believe you, I have been a sneering 'old soul' for: the past three years—I think the movement is about that old. If I did not know the extent of your ability to express yourself, I would have thought this sneering accusation was a case of 'Jacob's voice Esau's hand.' For as often as you have the opportunity to observe me in personal contact, to study my disposition, and to then think I am capable of scoffing, even in my writings, I don't know what to think of you as a reader of human nature. "The next thing that struck my attention in your letter as requiring comment was your observation on the strike vote. 'A strike vote is not a strike' you observe, and that I am not honest enough to state the real purpose and nature of the action. Yes, I understand that a vote to strike by an organization does not always result in this action. But, I also understand that such an action is alternative. Either the voters get their demands, or a strike really takes place. Of course, I do not pretend to know the methods of unionism, hence according to you, this vote of the porters was merely to express an attitude without any idea of putting it into effect, even if it didn't accomplish its purpose. If such is the case with the porters strike vote, then, I admit my error. But how about this statement, which appears in the New York Times of April, 25th: "A country-wide strike of Pullman porters is inevitable within a short time if the Pullman Company does not recognize the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and deal with it through the United States Mediation Board to regulate wages and working conditions, according to Roy Laneaster, secretary and treasurer of the Brotherhood." The fact, according to your statement, that 7,500 porters voted for the strike, and it is their decision and not the leaders, doesn't change this truth, which no one knows or appreciates more fully than you. It would be suicidal for the porters, as they stand and so uninterested to stop an honourable goodness strike. "You say I tried to resurrect the old boggy about the company not dealing with outsiders in my comments of April 28. No, this is not a boggy, Mr. Lancaster, it is an actuality at the present time. You follow the boggy statement by observing, 'you take evident glee in announcing that the porters are getting nowhere and are helplessly behind' Well, aren't they—that is, the thinking ones. Do you think I have had there, after reading the statements of the Pittsburg Power and Renzi B. Lumens, president of the Brotherhood of Dining Services and Cooks?" As I said in the beginning, I am not going to attempt to an- sweer each and every one of your questions and observations. 'So, I now come to the final item in your letter. In this paragraph you ask me to be honest, frank as to where I stand. In fact, I interpreted this as the specific question with appendages. The appendages worth noting are: 'Should or should not the porters and maids have a labor organization to represent and bargain for them? If they should have an organization, then the leaders of that organization are duty bound to advance the interest of those members. Now wherein have the leaders of the Brotherhood failed to do this?' "As a writer of the doings of all Pullman porters, I have only one answer to give you, which is in effect the same declaration I made in the beginning of this present Brotherhood movement—I am neutral. But, seemingly, you want me to express my personal feelings. Well, here they are: You inquire if the porters and maids should or should not have a labor organization to represent them? My answer to that is Yes. I think, in fact I know, representation, whether in business, politics or labor, is always advantageous to that particular group. I also believe that the leaders of any organization, whether economic, social or religious, should do everything in their power to promote the program of their members. But so far as the present Brotherhood of Pullman porters is concerned, I answer you frankly, deep down in my heart I am not in sympathy with its activities, although this would not have kept me from writing about these activities the same as other activities among the porters, had I been given the chance. Although I admire some things of benefit which you and others have done, yet from the beginning your methods of campaigning have been contrary to my idea of how the porters might be organized into a brotherhood of some kind, say, for instance, like the Brotherhood of Dining Car Waiters and Cooks, I appreciate your argument that this cannot be accomplished by anyone who is an employee of the corporation whose employees he would organize. Still, I think this person should be one who has had experience in the service and with the employees of the service who are to be organized. Personally, the blare of publicity which has marked the beginning of the present Brotherhood has, to my mind, been detrimental. Secondly, I cannot get myself to the point of approving of the course the leaders have pursued, especially with reference to the employer of the porters and those, porters who think differently from these leaders. "From the first, the campaign of the leaders has been one of villification. They vilified the porters' employer and they villified every porter who dared to express himself on the subject. Some of these anti-union porters, who through many years of service had developed a feeling of loyalty to their employment, were derided as 'Uncle Tom's' 'Handkerchief Heads' and other opprobrious names. "Some of these had the temerity to try to express themselves in writing, and being untrained in this art, were not only answered but were held up to ridicule. I recall one case in particular. This old porter had been making statements as at the philanthropy and blessing of the Pullman Company. His expressions, through the press, were crude, but they were his point of view. He was answered, from the staff of the Brotherhood not in a way which would portray the intellect of the writer, but rather to demonstrate the untrained mind of the porter writer. As often as this porter wrote, he was answered, but when the porter struck upon the 'idea of having an amanuensis to write his articles, 'nary' a reply was forthcoming from the Brotherhood headquarters. Another instance is that of a porter who gave his idea on the subject of tipping. This porter was not only held up to ridicule for his opinion, but another man, an exporter, who had no connection whatever with the matter discussed, was brought in the subject. Away from their activities as leaders of the Pullman porters, personally, I have nothing against any of the men connected with your organization. And so far as my column is concerned, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters' activities may occupy its space, the same as the news of the activities of those who are opposed to it. But, personally, Mr. Lancaster, I do not approve of the methods of the Brotherhood leaders. This is all I have to say on the subject. If there be no objection from you I shall give this reply the same publicity I gave your letter. "Yours Truly, (Signed) JAMES H. HOGANS".

Well, here we are almost at the last monthly Court of Honor before the big Court in June, when we hope to see the first. Eagle Scout award in this district, in a long time. So, I understand, this Court of Awards was changed from May to June because our scouts who are ready for Life Star and Eagle awards did not get their applications in for the review at Manhattan Council in time. Remember! They must be in at least eight days before the review. Get busy! Also, the field day has been moved up to June 16, so that all of the troops can be well prepared. The latest on camping is that applications are going into Manhattan so fast that it look like there isn't going to be enough room for all the scouts. And I heard a buzz that "Chaptegate", which was going to be our district's location, is going to be monopolized by scout from other districts if our fellows do not respond rapidly. I was down to Manhattan to make arrangements to go and that's inside dope. I am sure Mr. Cobb, Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Marshall are 'sending big delegations, because I've heard their scouts talking camp. But I don't know about the rest. You bet Mr. Cobb's scouts are itching to go. Remember how they made that camp buzz last year? Oh, Boy! Mr. 'Marshall is leading 774 down into the 5th district on Monday night to aid them in a parade. That's the only way we can make their presence felt. We have to make sure we do that up at camp this summer if we'd only turn out strong. Look at the way they talk of Mr. Cobb's troop's record at camp last summer. But, oh, gee! If we don't go, everybody will-forget we are alive. Did you get your camp letter yet? I did and I know there are plenty in the mail. Go ahead, ask your mother and dad. They will glad to get you on the not city bus this summer. So long. Sequita. Be prepared!

The word 'science' is defined, in part, by Webster as: "knowledge of principles or facts. Profound, comprehensive knowledge made available in works, life or the search for truth."
