Florida Grand Jury Makes Formal Report of Horrible and Atrocious Cruelties Practiced By Policemen
Chief of Police at Miami With Several Of His Officers, Accused of Torturing and Mutilating Helpless Prisoners, Both White and Black, In Police Station
Miami, Fla.—The complete grand jury report, submitted to the Court last week, disclosed horrible and atrocious cruelty on part of police officers here toward prisoners, white and black. Chief H. Leslie Quigg and five of his subordinates were indicted, but Quigg and three others have been tried and acquitted on a charge of killing a Negro prisoner more
The grand jury report showed that the police have erected in the station a chair equipped for being electrically charged, and this chair has been used in torturing prisoners under investigation. The victims were placed in the chair and the police would suddenly turn on the current. Any effort to leave the chair would result in the prisoner being knocked back by blows from the police officers. Prisoners so tortured and treated have had to receive treatment from local physicians.
14-Year Old Boy Killed
Another case of arrant and ruthless barbarity, marked the killing of Sogman Kemp, a 14-year old Negro boy, who: with other boys, was discovered in the act of piloting eggs from a railroad car in the railroad yards. When hailed by the officer the boys dropped their boot and fled. The officer deliberately fired, shooting this little boy through the back. Taken to the hospital, the boy, a caddy, employed by the Miami Beach Golf Club, told the doctor that the officer had kicked him while he was laying wounded on the ground
Another witness told of hearing the officer say to the boy: "What did you run for? Didn't you think I would get you?" adding, "I have a d—— good mind to finish him now." This same officer is reported to have killed at least four persons since being on the force. Another Negro was reported by the police to have hung himself in his cell, but the undertaker reported that there were no signs of strangulation. At the same time, it was stated that a Negro had been beaten "merely by officers the night before, and it is believed this had some significant connection with the alleged self-hanging. 6
Police To Be Tried.
A Negro accused of stealing an automobile was compelled to place his naked foot on a table and was beaten on the soles of his feet with a heavy copper-bound ruler for one and one-half hours by the police. An epileptic, a white man, charged with being drunk, was dragged through the jail suspended in the air by his heels, and unmercifully seated by officers. The grand jury investigation, which began in February, covered a period of three years. The chief police was tried for first degree charge, the charge of having killed a Negro more than two years ago, connection on a lesser degree charge being impossible because of the time change since the death was committed. Two other police-men are to be tried on murder charges, and another for second degree murder, the latter a recent killing.

Charleston, W. V.-As the last act of the spring term of the Supreme Court, a writ of error and supersedes was granted to the plaintiff in the case of Anderson H. Brown and others against the Board of Education of the Charleston-independent school district, appealing from a decision of Judge Arthur P. Hudson, of the Circuit Court of Kanawha county. The case involves the use of the Charleston public library by Negro citizens. On March 29, Anderson H. Brown, E. L. Powell and W. W. Sanders filed a petition with the Circuit Court asking for an alternative wrip of mandamus to compel the Board of Education to admit them and other colored citizens to the use of the Charleston public library, the school board having passed a resolution, February 21, putting the Charleston public library to be used by white school children and white citizens only, and the Garnett library to be used by colored school children and colored citizens only.
Say Lower Court Erred
Judge Hudson of the Circuit Court, sustained the motion to quash its writ on the grounds that the Charleston public library was a part of the school system and was controlled by the special laws relating to the Charleston independent school district and not the general laws, "that the constitutional provision prohibiting white and Negroes from being taught in the same school and the general policy of separating white and Negro students in various institutions should be applied in this case, and the Board was justified in its action."
The petitioners applied to the Supreme Court, for a writ of error and supersedes, alleging that the Court erred in sustaining the Board's motion to quash and demurre to the alternative writ of mandamus, and the Court's retusal to sustain the demurre of the petitioners.
The writ of error and supersedes eas is returnable on the first Monday in June.
The library fight is being made under the auspices of the Charleston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and is represented by Attorney T. G. Nutter, its president, and Attorney C. E. Kumbrough. The attorneys express absolute confidence in winning the case.
Atty..Van Lowe Wins Damage Suit From City
Detroit, Mich.—Mrs. Corine J. Banks was riding in a street car owned by the City of Detroit on the 23rd day of June, 1920, when a collision occurred between the street car and an Ohio motorist. In the collision Mrs. Banks sustained certain injuries and she retained Atty. Van Lowe to represent her. He filed a claim with the city for damages and compensation for his client, but the city denied liability and offered little or nothing as settlement. The attorney refused the offer and instituted legal proceedings in the Circuit Court against the City of Detroit for adequate compensation and damages to his client. The case was called for trial on the 3rd day of May 1928, continuing for over two days. At the end of the two day's trial, the City of Detroit, through its counsel, invited Atty. Van Lowe to discontinue and settle the case. He accepted the offer and a settlement was effected whereby the city paid several thousand and dollars.
Egyptian Minister Is "Color" Victim In Va.
Washington, D. C.-The apple is to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia what the citrus fruit is to Florida. The Virginia "appleers" celebrate every Spring-with a carnival called the "Apple Blossom Fete" at Winchester, to which official Washington frequently journeys. The 1928 fete was staged two weeks ago. Among the dignitaries present was the Egyptian Minster to the U. S. He was mistaken, because of his comparative darkness, for some Alframerican shell and ordered to get out from among the white folks. When the burgling of the Shenandoah apple producers discovered, Governor Byrd apologized to the ambassador of the Phoebes.

Dr. William J. O'Shea, superintendent of the public schools of New York, paid a fine tribute to the work being done in the schools of Harlem, and especially at Public School 119, in an address to the Parents' Association of this school Thursday evening, May 17.
It was the closing meeting of the Association for the school term, and there was not space in the auditorium to seat the parents and friends who came to hear Dr. O'Shea.

He was presented by Alderman Fred R Moore, head of the Parents' Association of this school, who presided. Mr. Moore, in his introduction, said that the public school system, under Dr. O'Shea knew neither race, creed nor color, and stood for a square deal for all. Dr. O'Shea assured his audience that this jolley would continue as long as he was in charge of of the schools.

DR. BUTLER GIVES LOWDEN PRAISE AS BEST CHOICE Senator Wadsworth Is In Doubt About Hoover's Strength In N. Y.
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, and a delegate to the Republican National Convention, issued a pro-Lowden statement Tuesday that was haled by state managers of the farm relief champion as significant of the existence of hidden Lowden support in Eastern delegations.
"What Governor Lowden has said so emphatically as to the necessity, from the viewpoint of party success as well as from that of party principle, of preserving the balance between a prosperous agriculture and a prosperous industry with the strongest approval of myself and a host of our fellow Republicans in this part of the country," declared Dr. Butler.
Statement Dictated at Hospital
"To suppose that we can win the election without the hearty support of the agricultural vote of the strongly Republican states of the West and Northwest," he continued, "is an illusion of the first magnitude."
Lowden managers called the statement a broadside against Herbert Hoover to prevent whose nomination the Republican state organization has been at great pains to keep its adherents uncommitted. Dr. Butler undersigned this plan.
Dr. Butler dictated his statement at St. Luke's Hospital, where he is convalescing after an attack last week of acute indigestion.
CamPaign Called "Disheartening."
"We are approaching the close of the most disheartening pre-convention campaign within my memory," said the statement. "Despite the economic and political situation of the world and our own responses, all and most of them are invulnerable and inconstant domestic problems, there has been almost no discussion, indeed no reference, to any of them.
"No candidate for the Republican nomination, with the exception of Governor Lowden, has ventured any statement whatever as to his position in regard to any of these vast problems so important to the prosperity to the honor and to the influence of the American people. Instead, we have had an exhibition through the press and the mails, of an application to politics of the most obnoxious development of modern business, to wit, salesmanship.
"Friends of some of the candidates seem satisfied to put the Presidential nomination on the same plane as a patent medicine or a suburban real estate development.
Support of West Called Vital.
"The New York State delegation, with perhaps some twenty-one or twent-two exceptions, will go to Kansas City uncommitted but with minds open.
"We wish to confer with our fellow representative Republicans and to agree upon a candidate who will be well educated in his head, who has intellectual competence for the office of President and who can be elected.
Wadsworth Refers To New York
With the issuance of Dr. Butler's statement, James W. Wadsworth, former United States Senator, and a delegate at large to the Republican convention, was declaring in an interview, according to "The Brooklyn Eagle," that "the principle question for New York delegates to have in mind when they vote for a candidate for President at Kansas City, is: Can he carry New York against Al Smith?" Senator Wadsworth is quoted as having said: "In my judgment it is questionable whether Herbert Hoover is the best man for the job he formerly held. Mr. Hoover this state of course. The propaganda has been for Hoover. But the sentiment of the man in the street is divided, Sentiment has not crystallized behind Hoover as might have been expotted. Mind, I am not against Hoover I am for him as much as for any one else."

Georgia Lawyer Now On U.S. Customs Court Bench Charged With Being A Bitter Negro Hater By Atlanta Man
Dr. Brinson Cites Testimony Given Senate Committee By Judge W. J. Tilson, With Affidavits From Federal Court Officers To Show Jurist's Testimony Was Not True
Atlanta, Ga.—The recent appoinitment by President Calvin Coolidge of William J. Tilson of this city to be a Judge of the U. S. Customs Court at New York has stirred some of the colored citizens to resentment because of Judge Tilson's alleged attitude of hating the Negro.
Judge Tilson was sworn in on March 17 and is now sitting regularly in that Court, which holds its sessions at 641 Washington street, and which carries a salary of $10,000 per year. The tenure of office is permanent, with no constitutional age limits, and with removal possible only by impeachment by the House of Representatives after trial and conviction by a two-thirds vote of the U. S. Senate.
Judge Tilson in a hearing before transcript Judge Tilson is cited as sub-committee of the Senate Committee on Judiciary with reference to the confirmation of the appointment of L. H. Marshall for the office of United States Marshal for the Northern District of Georgia the hearing being held on January 19, 1926.
Transcript of Testimony.
Specific charges as to Judge Tilson's, alleged biased attitude toward the Negro are made by E. H. Brinson of 129 McDonough street, described as a doctor and pharmacist, who declares his intention of entering suit against the Federal jurist for alleged libel contained in certain statements quoted as having been, made by

NAMING HOOVER
ON 1st BALLOT
Defends Hoover's Abol-
ishing 'Jim Crow' In
Census Bureau
Old Point Comfort, Va.-C. Bassom Slemp predicted the nomination of Secretary Hoover on the first ballot by the Republican National Convention at Kansas City next month.
Col. Slemp, perhaps the country's most astute politician, former secretary to President Coolidge, and present Republican National Committee for Virginia, is here at a conference of Virginia Republicans. He defended Secretary Hoover's act of abolishing segregation of whites and blacks in the U. S. Census Bureau at Washington.
According to suave Slemp, who is so suave that though he went in as the Coolidge secretary a practical and avowed lilywhite anthem to the bigtime Negro Republicans, he emerged with their esteem and a token of it.
There were Negro, among a thousand white clerks at the Census Bureau, and in distributing the Negroes over the building instead of keeping them grouped to themselves, Secretary Hoover had only acted as President Wilson did when confronted by similar circumstances.
Among the Slemp party here is Henry W. Anderson, the Richmond lawyer who is Virginia's candidate for the Republican Vice Presidential nomination. Col. Anderson's chief claim to political fame rests on his serious but unsuccessful attempt to get the Legislature to authorize the enabling act to revise the Virginia Constitution, which would permit only white persons to qualify as electors and thereby restore the two-party system in this State on a lily-wish basis. The two-party system was destroyed with the disfranchisement of the Negro—and half of the whites.
Texas Mob Lynches Negro Being Held For Killing Farmer
Texas Mob Lynches Negro Being Held For Killing Farmer
Center, Texas. - A mob stormed the jail here on May 21, removed a Negro charged with the killing of a farmer and lynched him. The Negro, known as Evans, was accused of clubbing to death John Miller. About fifteen dragged the man from the jail and hanged him to a large oak tree in the courtyard.
Judge Tilson in a hearing before transcript Judge Tilson is cited as sub-committee of the Senate Committee on Judicary with reference to the confirmation of the appointment of L. H. Marshall for office of United States Marshal, for the Northern District of Georgia, the hearing being held on January 19, 1926.
Transcript of Testimony
Mr. Brinson secured a transcript of the Tilson testimony through the good offices of Senator Hiram Johnson, and in this having used language referring to Dr. Brinson which was untrue and to have made statements attributing a criminal record to Brinson that are shown by records of the U. S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia, to be absurdly false.
The sub-committee had heard an affidavit from Brinson, relating to the Crawford appointment, and the questioner, Mr. Zumbrunn, proceeded to question Tilson, who at that time had been a practising attorney here for twenty-eight years, as follows:
"Mr. Zumbrunn: Do you know Mr Brinson, whose affidavit was introduced just before the recess for luncheon
"Mr. Tilson: Yes, sir. He is a colored doctor and pharmacist in Atlanta. He is a sort of wild kind of Negro. I think he takes dope. He ran a drug store there, and was brought up two or three times for selling narcotics without a doctor's prescription. I used to defend him and take care of his' the best I could. He was a kind of unhappy fellow. When he was indicted for selling morphine in his pharmacy without a doctor's prescription several times, I got Mr. Hager now United States District Attorney, who was then in my office, I asked Mr. Hager to defend him. Mr. Hager agreed to represent him when he was indicted for selling morphine without a doctor's prescription, and he did represent him, and I went over to the Commissioner and tried to do all. I could to get Brinson off. He finally agreed to plead guilty and was wined $50.
Cites Court Records
In refutation of this direct statement by Judge Tilson, Mr. Brinson has secured statements from the chief deputy clerk of the U. S. District Court at Atlanta, certifying, under seal of his Court, that an examination of the criminal dockets of that Court from 1912 to February 3, 1926, disclosed no original case either indictment or criminal information, pendings or disposed of, wherein E. H. Brinson was defendant.
A sworn affidavit from Charles A. Brown, a stenographer, living in the District of Columbia, attested to the correctness of the transcript of testimony, quoting Tilson's statement concerning Mr. Brinson.
Under date of December 9, 1926, Mr. Brinson also sent more than a hundred letters to Senators and Congressmen, with copies of Tilson's testimony, the clerk's statement and the shorthand reporter's affidavit, which he told of an alleged threat against him by Tilson in a room at Kiball House, Atlanta, when the Brinson refused to utter a false affidavit against J. L. Philip's, another white Republican, who opposed Tilson whose room is in the Anley House had previously been raided by officers looking for contraband whiskey.
Brinson declared that his persistent refusal to accede to Tilson's demand angered the latter to the extent that "he got up and shook his finger at me and said, 'If you do not sign it I will put you in the chain-gang.' I told him to go to it. Mr. Hager and Mr. Grier came out and said to me: 'Did he did it (Tilson mean. He treaded on song.' Mr. Brinson served papers on Judge Tilson either in New York or Washington in a suit, for criminal libel.

John E. Earls, Well Known Figure In Fraternal World, Is Badly Hurt By Man Found In Wife's Apartment
John E. Earls, well known fraternal man of 351 St. Nicholas avenue, is suffering from a broken nose, a fractured shoulder, and bruises and contusions, as a result of an encounter with one John A. Hughes, a former ice dealer, in the apartment of his wife, from whom he was separated, on May 18.
Hughes was arrested Monday on a warrant charging felonious assault and robbery. Mr Earls alleged that he was robbed of $62. Following the attack, Hughes brushed in $2,500 bail and the case will be heard in the Magistrate Court on Friday.
where his wounds were dressed and the broken bones reset. It will be some time before he can return to his work.
Fine Music At Claflin
Earls Had Separated.
The Larks had been living apart since March 19, 1927. Mrs. Earls through Attorney I. Douglas Wermore, filled out for absolute divorce, named Mrs. Romaine Button, proprietor of Craggs's Dining Room at the co-respondent, the same time she filed a suit against Mrs. Burton for $50,000 for altering her husband's afference. These cases are both pending, although Mrs. Earls was waived for a week temporary shment.
But according to Mr. Earl's, his wife has been friendly with Hughes before his marriage to her in 1915. He alleges that both Hughes and his wife have threatened his life at various times during his marriage, was for this reason that he gave up his home, says Mr. Earl.
Went to Pay Alimony.
He had been aristocrat to delivering the alumny to his wife in person and getting her receipt. He went to her apartment at 2355 Savannah avenue on Friday for this purpose. He was invited into the dining room but says he went in to the patio to get a pen to make on the receipt. He did not know that anyone else was in the apartment at the time. As he entered the front room, Mr Hughes was standing by the door and without warning is alleged to have slugged Mr Earle with a pair of metal buckles, breaking his nose. Then Hughes struck him on the shoulder, telling him, and as Mr Earle lay on the door, he charges he was asked of So2.
His assistant then backed out of the door with his right hand on his hip pocket, Mr. Earls declares. Bleeding from his mouth and nose Mr. Earls lay on the floor for nearly two hours before a doctor was called for him. Finally Dr H. M. Emiden arrived and stopped the flow of blood sufficiently to carry Mr. Earls home.

Health Committee Helps Tuberculosis Patient
A trait, hollow-eyed young woman called at the offices of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee, 202 West 136th street, one day not long ago.
"My doctor says I have tuberculosis and must have hospital care. He sent me here. Can you help me get into such-and-such a hospital?" she asked Mabel Doley Keaton, R. N. executive secretary of the committee, who has charge of the information service.
Mrs Keaton invited the young woman to sit down and tell her story.
She and her sister lived together in one room, and slept in the same bed. Finally one had become very ill. She had tuberculosis and the doctor advised immediate care in a hospital. She wished to go only to one hospital which she had heard her friends discuss favorably. There was a long waiting list for admittance to that particular hospital, but the young woman wished to wait rather than go anywhere else.
After discussing the situation with her, the worker was able to make her see that other hospitals also give good care and why her doctor said she needed hospital care immediately, and that she should go away so that she would not infect her sister.
In a few days the young woman was admitted to a hospital. She will be cared for there until she can be transferred to a sanatorium.
Both sisters have expressed their thanks to the Harlem committee, Mrs. Keaton says, for help in solving their difficulties and showing them the importance of hospital care for the improvement of the one and the health of the other.
All kinds of questions on health matters are answered by the information service of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee. Any resident of the community may consult it for information. It is free of charge. Christmas Seals sold annually during the holiday season, and memberships in the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association support the work.
A sub-committee of the Harlem Committee, called the Maintenance Committee, is conducting a drive for memberships in the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association this month. Mrs. E. P. Kolerts is chairman of the committee.
"I drive a car for hire," says Mr. Ike Saskel, of Gadsen, Ala., "and have to get up and go, carly and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of
for a long time. The drugist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made into tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I would not be without it for double the price."
Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose.

Convicted of Murder, Man Is Found To Be Son of Father Who Is Brother To His Mother; Fight Tq Save Life
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, D. C.-Perhaps, the most remarkable case in the criminal annals of the District of Columbia courts is that of Philip Jackson. Philip Jackson is a nonnational Negro. About fifteen months ago Jackson brutally assaulted a white woman on the Capitol Grounds. The unusual brutality of his act marked it as not the doings of a normal person. He was caught after quite a man hunt; tried, convicted, and, sentenced to be electrocuted last July. Thrice has the date of execution been deferred; much to the perturbation of the eminent Washington Star.
The unusual feature of the Jackson case is that Jackson's attorney is a young Negro, John H. Wilson; and John Wilson has handled the Jackson case with such legal skill and acumen that he has proved himself the peer of any criminal lawyer in the District of Columbia. It was not dime in jeans! he was not reelected or lifts service; for Jackson was and is friendless and penniless. Former Justice A. A. Hoehling, who presided at the trial, assigned Wilson to Jackson's defense!
To Be First Victim.
The last Washington execution was upon the ancient gallows, discarded not so long ago. There is a brand new electric chair awaited in christening. Jackson was slated to confer upon the Negro the distinction of furnishing the "christener." Three, coll-blooded, white murderers of a Washington policeman were convicted and sentenced subsequent to Jackson. and the Nordic rested easily. Then, Louis R. Lautier, Washington's premier reporter, casually learned from a jail trusty that Philip Jackson is the offspring of an incestuous relationship of brother and sister.
Mr. Lautier communicated his information to C. Lucien Skinner, and Mr. Skinner, accompanied by Robert J. Nelson of the Washington Eagle, called on and passed it to Justice Hoehling, who advised them to communicate with Attorney Wilson.
The District Code provides that a trial judge may grant a sanity hearing by jury for a convicted murderer on petition from his at-
torney. It was just 24 hours before the day of execution that Justice Hoehling conducted a hearing on Jacksons sanity hearing plea.
Had Abnormal Traits.
The lawyer submitted several lay affidavits purporting to establish Jackson's abnormality from childhood. There was one from his mother, who swore that Jackson's father is her own, full brother. One deponent, a white farmer, swore that Jackson's strength was abnormal and the deponent was saved from serious injury when Jackson caught the ankle of a kicking mule as the flying hoof was enroute to his stomach. Another swore that Jackson cured a cat of the butter-stealing habit by forcing it to sit near the butter, daring the cat to look at it; and deponent sayeth the cat didn't look.
In view of the medical testimony that Jackson was sub-normal but responsible, and because Jackson answered over 800 questions of prosecutor and defense counsel without hesitation in his presence at the trial, Justice Hoehleng denied the petition. This was appealed by Attorney Wilson, and the appeal automatically acted as a stay. Justice Hoehleng then sentenced Jackson to be electrocuted in November, 1927. Thus had Wilson saved his race the "chair" christening honor" at the 11th fourth, through proceeding so race Justice Hoehleng had to go back years for precedents. The Court of Appeals did not render its decisions sustaining Justice Hoehleng until April; so execution was set for May 15
But Jackson was not roasted to death in the brand new death chair on that date. Attorney Wilson has appealed to the President for commutation of sentence.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Times, in last Sunday's issue of that paper, reviewing the political situation particularly with reference to Gov. Smith's chances, stated that the recent anti-segregation orders issued by Secretary Hoover in the Department of Commerce has given the southern Democrats much satisfaction. This, the correspondent declares, is being used by Smith's supporters to overcome the opposition engendered through Smith's wet proclivities, Tammany connections and Catholic affiliations. One southern Senator is reported to have said:
"Bless the Lord, we can now go to our people when Al Smith is nominated to run against Hoover, and say to them: Yes, Smith is a Tammany man, a Catholic and a wet, but would you rather not have him in the White House than a President who compels white men and white women to associate with Negoes?" Segregation has existed in the Treasury Department since William G. McAdoo was Secretary, and it is reported that Secretary Mellon called in certain of the higher ranking colored employees and asked their views on the situation. The result, it is said, was that these men indicated that they did not care to have any change made. The Hoover order, according to a rumor circulating around, was due to the wish of President Coolidge, but no official instructions were made public.

‘MER. LOWDEN NO PUSSYFOOTER

fmiedly mouthed candidates, who seem
fafraid to voice thoir heliefs, and inten-

find a candidate who stands by his guns.

-:The April number of this magazine
contained an article hy one of the mem-
‘bers of last. year's student observation
Barty, ‘Tomoichi Kozono, entitled “My
Views on America,” in which he gave
‘the results of his three months trip, with
the feeling that he had “come to under-

‘ties complete, and sanitary and fite-pre-
‘vention equipments perfected. The pro-
gress Of aeroplane and other industries
was cited as" showing! that Japan has
miuch tdlearn from America,” :
The student observer declared that his
preconceived idea of America, obtained
through newspapers and magazints, was
quite different - from later, impressions.
Where he had expected to find the ped-
ple in a land of liberty and democracy
“too freely inclined, dissolute and disor-
derly," he found laws and rules being
observed more strictly than under a’ de-
spotic government. As example, of this,
he' cited the compulsory education laws
and. enforcement of military training.
The prosecution of prohibition violations
was styled unrelenting and the strictness
of enforcenient caused tthe visitor to aver
that. “America is a country of despotism
as well as liberty." The training of
Americans as individuals and as members
of group life was rated high, as well as
their public sentiment and observance of
order in street crowds. Their business
morality was commended as an example
to the Japanese, as exemplified in the
sale of automobiles on monthly énstal-
ments, Economy and labor, were ascribed
as the prevailing tendencies among both
fich and poor.and as being the basis of
the present greatness of America,
The nationalistic ideals of the people
were seen in the universal display of the
Stars and Stripes, and the profound re-
spect exhibited for the national flag.’ This
moved the observer to lament as fol-
lows: “It seems as if our nationalistic
spirit, Yanratodamashii, to our deepest
regret, had entirely left us and gone into
the heart of the Americans.” Another
preconceived notion that Americans were
Yan insolent and somewhat abominable
people.” was dispelled by the tourist find-
ing them really to be very lively, cheer-
ful and pleasant. He was deeply im-
pressed by the need of the Japanese to
come in intimate touch with the Amesi-
cans for the purposes of contributing to
wotld peace, bringing about better rela-
tions between the two countries and de-
veloping Japan's foreign trade. The ex:
clusion of Japanese immigrants and the
trouble caused to Japanese residents by
‘the land ownership_laws were extenuat-
ed on the ground that these were “not
the intention of the whole people. but
only a result of the policy followed “hy
a certain political party,” in effect a po-
litical blunder.
Alter having determinedly pointed out
all the good points he could find in
America, the tourist admifted that there
were not a few bad ones, which the Jap-
anese would do well to Shun. These
were enumerated as the national regime,
the social structure and the family sys-
tem. in respect to all of which the J&pr
anese seemed far superior. Evidently the
Japanese student had the training of
diplomat’ in embryo was was manifested
both in his praise and in his reservations.
The fact that the itinerary of the stu-
dents toitr for this year included such
cities as San Francisco, Los Angeles, St.
Louis, Washington, Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, shows
that only the most progressive and en-
lightened sections of the country were
surveyed. ‘This undoubtedly rendered it
easier to make favorable comparisons.

Recalling the recent controversy over
the superintendency of Chicago's public
schoal system, when an efficient execu-
tive was forced out on most ridiculous
charges, New York has reason to rejoice
that despite political changes of various
kinds, the public school system has iman-
aged to maintain competent and consci-
entious educators as its executive heads.
From the time of Superintendent Kiddle,
through ‘the terms of Dr. Maxwell and
Dr. Ettinger, down to the present, the
post of stperintendent has been filled by
men of executive ability and courage,
who have administered the office with a
view to serving the interests of .pupils
and teachers, without bias or discrimina-
tion, .
The same principle of conduct applies
to Dr, William J. O'Shea, the present
superintendeut, wha recently visited one
of the Harlem schols and inspected the
work done by teachers and pupils, He
congratulated those responsible upon the
high standard gf the work performed and
welcomed the interest exhibited by the
parents as helpful to the progress of the
children, When one of the other speak
ers asserted that thé’ public school system
knows ‘neither race,"ereed or color, Dr,
O'Shea assured his hearers that this pol-
iey will continue so long as he has any-
thing ‘to say about. school matters,
It is gratifying to have an assurance
of this kind from the bead of. the. school

system, although it was hardly necessary
in view of, the practical: workings of the
policy hitherto pursued, Yet the effec
gf such a pronouncement is salutary, as
an indication to the other members of the
system of the- principles that ° should
guide their conduct in dealing witk
teachers and pupils. The practical resul
of the broad and’ enlightened policy fol-
lowed in the Harlem schools were seer
in the exhibit of the activities ofthe pu:
pils, These ihtiuded a flower garden, a
circus project, children’s dresses, rugs
pocketbooks, aprons, etc., from the Wel
fare’ League. «A notable feature is the
Health Club, which takes care of the un:
derweight children, in bringing them: uy
to normal, some gaining as much as five
pounds a month. -
Under such efficient superintendency as
the New York schools have enjoyed dur-
ing the past few decades, and with the
cooperation of such indefatigable boar¢
officials as Vice President M. Samuel
Stern, ‘their sphere‘of usefulness in build-
ing up good citizenship is bound to in-
crease. Every dollar spent for education
in this city is a paying investment, so
long as it is wisely and faithfully admin-
istered in the interest of the community.
TRIBUTE TO.THE LIVING.
Aribute to the dead is a common at-
tribute of humanity, which dogs credit
to the race and to the individual. ~It is
much rarer to pay proper tribute to the
living, while the subject of such a testi
monial may accept and appreciate it.
The Negro race in this country has been
encouraged and assisted, morally and ma:
terially, by many friends among the oth-
er races, some through devoted service
in educational matters, others by encovs-
aging advocacy in the public prints and
still others by material aid in weliare
movements.
Among those who have contributed
both ‘morally and materially to, the up:
lift of the race is Mr. George Foster Pea-
body, well known for his long and active
career in finance, ‘politics and _philan-
thropy. A native of Georgia, Mr. Pea:
body came to New York with many no:
tions concerning ‘the race, which were
modified or changed by contact and ex:
perience. His interest in the training o!
our youth was early testified by his con-
tribution for the building of 1 Young
Men's Christian Association at Columbus,
Ga,, some thirty years ago. Later he
becanie interested in the opening_of 4
colored branch of the same organization
in Brooklyn, N. Y. He also manifested
a lively interest in St. Augustine's Church
in that borough.
A devoted admirer of Negro music,
Mr. Peabody displayed intense interest
in the development of spirituals, before
that form of native music attained — its
present popularity. Ie did much to as-
sist in the development of promising
young musicians of the race, including
some gifted Africans, Outside of this in-
terest in the music of the race, Mr. Pea-
body displayed a humanitarian interest
that demanded fairplay in the struggle
for progress. A Democrat in polities, he
was progressive enough to admit the de-
sirability of the race dividing its vote so
as to secure a friendly footing in both
parties. A sincere admirer of Governor
Smith of New York, he at times espoused
his cause through the columns af ‘The
Age.
Having retired from active business,
Mr. Peabody is’ still alert mentally and
Physically and maintains his interest in
Negro progress and music, His career
asa humanitarian and philanthropist has
heen productive of fruitful results, both
for himself and for others, Tis record
of active interest in his, fellows is one
that dees him honor.

LINCOLN GIANTS
OUTHIT AND BEAT
BACHARACH GIANTS
Locals Score 9 Runs In
First Three Innings
Against Seasiders
Although Cheney White, veteran outfielder for the Bachachar Giants, made two home runs, the Lincoln Giants out hit the Atlantic City team Sunday to win a 14-7 victory at the Protectory Oval Sunday, May 20. Because of the over lecounded skies only a small group of fans were present and one game was played.
The local team won the game in the first three innings, when they knocked "Ping" Gardner out of the box with nine runs, seven of which were made in the opening pitch. Hip hop hitter Joseph Hippe allowed for the first five innings but weakened in the sixth and allowed four runs. Gisentaner had to come to the assistance of the big Southpaw in the seventh innning.
Riggins Scales and Rector led the Lincoln at bat, each getting three hits in four trips to the plate. Rector hit a home run in the first inning.
The attraction for this park next Sunday is the Philadelphia Professionals and the Philadelphia Elks. The Cuban Starts will make their second appearance here the following Sunday. Scores of last Subday's game were as follows:

Dave Myers and Phil Edwards Star For N. Y. U. In Middle Atlantic Meet Haverford, Pa.—David Myers, of football fame, established a new record in the javelin throw, and Phil Edwards equaled the half mile mark in the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate A A. hed here Friday and Saturday, May 18 and 19. Phil Edward's brother, King Edwards, was also a star, being one of the winners in the 220 yard dash. The victories of these three Negro members of the team were largely possible for New York University winning the championship, the first time in the history of this institution.
Myers tossed the javelin 183 feet 9 3-4 inches, heating the old mark of 180 feet 9 1-2 inches made three years before by Montgomery of Haverford. N. Y. U. also had the second winner in this event, Frederick-Veit. Myers also qualified in the 220 yard low hurdles. Phil Edwards ran the half mile the excellent time of 1 minute 1-5 seconds on a track that was bit heavy, following a two days rain. He also won the 440 yard race.

P. S.157 Makes Good Showing In Hudson District Track Meet
At the 50th annual indoor games and physical training demonstration of the Hudson District Athletic League, Saturday, April 28, in the 102nd Regiment Armory. The John Hancock School, P. S. 157 Manhattan took third place among 6B Schools. To place third was quite a feat for a school that could claim only a year's membership in the league. Twenty-eight boys representing the John Hancock School went in the meet determined to win the race in which they were entered. They were partly rewarded, for they captured first place in the 115 pound relay, and third place in the 90 pound relay. In the 75 pound relay race, the third runner of P. S. 157 was bumped so hard by an opponent that the baton was dropped during the passing. The lead against the fourth boy was too great to be cut down, and he missed placing by less than a yard.
The misfortune of the 90 pound relay team was not quite as disastrous, yet it might have, proved fatal had it not been for the grit and determination of the boys. The second runner did not locate his team-mate in time to give him the lead which he had, and the third boy was started away handicapped by six yards. He made up two yards of the distance before he passed the baton to the fourth boy who started away in fifth position. Yard after yard was cut down and by passing two boys he was enabled to place third.
At the crack of the pistol for the 115 pound relay, Smith took the lead and there never was any doubt as to the result, even though Powell gave the crowd a scare, when it seemed as though he would be tied up in the passing. He soon cleared himself and made up part of the lead he had lost. Boston, the third runner received the baton in third position, he bore down, and when he had covered half his distance he was at the rail leading by a yard. He was never overhaulied and continued to gain until he was able to send Curtis, the anchor man off with a lead or four yards. The race then seemed overwith for the fleet footed Curtis opened-up a burst of speed to break the tape ten yards ahead of the nearest runner. George B. Overton is the coach of the track team.

It is called "All Aboard" and is slated for just one week. Judged by the reception which "All Aboard" receive dat the opening matinee, patrons of the Lafayette Theatre are in for another week of splendid entertainment.
"All Aboard" reads like a list of the finest colored entertainers in "big time" vaudeville: The Four Pepper Shakers, Johnson and Brown, Mason and Bailley, Sutage Brown, Mercia Marquier and other theatrical celebrities. There is a prettier-than usual chorus, and a band of twelve wonderful musicians under the leadership of Buddy Walker. The scenes are all laid on board a ship and in far-off Egypt and are some of the most gorgeous scenes ever staged in a local theatre.
The Four Pepper Shakers, of course carried off the honors. Then singing, dancing, courtly

aid playing on wash-boards, tins pans and sundry other musical instruments brought storms of applause. Mason and Bailey's act as well as their work in the revue was enthusiastically received as was also the offering of Johnson and Brown. At the end of their sided-splitting comedy, Jimmie Johnson wonderful tenor voice, was heard in a beautiful ballad and he had to respond to two encores before the audience allowed him to leave the stage. The audience showed a team, entirely unknown to Harlem audiences who came on the stage, and with the aid of an overgrown ukelele and a water glass, played several selections in a manner which would have done credit to a seven-piece band.
The feature picture for the week was as thoroughly enjoyed. It is "Babe Comes Home" and stars the King of Swat, Babe Ruth. Ruth's acting ability is second only to his batting prowess. Babe Copeland made a mastery of the diamond, full of action, thrills, comedy and romance.

Norman Thomas Quintet Stars at Palace Theatre
(From The Herald-Tribune)
Although it lacks comedy relief, the vaudeville program at the Palace last week was practically everything one could desire in the way of music, song and dance. There are several featured names on the bill, but this reviewer encountered the most enjoyable moments while th stag was occupied—and how it was occupied—by the Norman Thomas Quintet. This group of Negro song and dance men can out-play, out-sing and out-dance an airline group, men's music hall or night club this season. Their music is furnished by a pianist and drummer, two of them do clog and buck dances and the fifth is the singing member. Each is a master of masters' at his bit and the drummer gives an exhibition that could only be equalled by St. Vitus attempting to play a quiet chess game.
Lon Chaney's Latest
Picture at the Douglass
A sensational "holdup" of a New York' night club, staged from police reports and newspaper accounts of, a similar occurrence, is the big thrill given by Lon Chaney and a large cast as one of the details of "The Bib City", Chaney's new Metrol Goldwyn-Mayer vehicle, commig to the Douglas this Saturday for four days.
The story, a vivid drama of city life in New York, shows Chaney as the chief of a group of gangsters, in a plot of gangster warfare and underworld intrigue. Marceline Day plays the heroine, a shon-girl enmeshed in the plot, and James Murray the juvenile lead, a young henchman of the gangster czar Betty Compson, Mathew Betz, John George, Virginia Pearson and others of note are in the cast
The holdup is staged in a replica of a famous night club in New York, with Virginia Pearson in the role of the effervescent hostess. A ballet, composed of a "hand picked" bow of screen beauties, trampoline, Mardi Gras masks, dances, dances, under the supervision of Tod Browning, the director, is one of the elaborate spectacles in this sequence.

It consists of a series of monster fans installed on roof and an air-washing apparatus recording the air ducted by the engineers, the system will change the air in the theatre every two minutes, if necessary. On extremely warm days, washed air will be blown into the theatre, insuring a consistent, comfortable temperature.

SHOULD HARLEM INITIATE AND SUPPORT
MTS OWN’ MUSICAL ACTIVITIES INSTEAD
OF RALLYING TO-AID-AND ABET OTHERS?
* —\ _ wd bit of curiosity has been aroused in Harlem by a propo:
sion advanced by Dr, Sigmund Spaeth, a distinguished white musictan,
who hay visited the community twice within recent days for the pur-
pore uf anteresting colored musicians in ‘operations of the Contmunity
Convert Curporation of New York, of which he is the managing di-
rector
Inahihty to be preseut on either of the occasions when Dr, Spacth
came to Harlem limits this writer's knowledge of the scope and pur-|
pose of the movement, as well as of the.area of its operations, But
from 4 statement prepared by De, Spacth's representative, published
jn tlus column May 12, itis gleaned that the corporation proposes to
enroll season memberships at a stated sum, reported to be $5, for,
which the subscriber ‘will be entitled to admission to a series uf con-|
certs i which “world famous artists” will be presented,
Some of the falks interested in Harlem musical doings are in-
clmed tu be skeptical ag to the advisability of Harlemites putting their
miouey itty such a proposition as this, in which the control of activi-
ties 1= entirely Nordic, arguiny that all” of the subseription fund will
be taken out of the community, and that there will be no tangible
benciit to Negso artists, Going a step further, they declare that stich
fa moxement, to be of real beneht to: the race, should be engineered
and directed by Negroes themselves. - =
(ne of the community’s most active workers in welfare and cule
tural promotions, and one of its most prominent citizens, declates that
jhe -ves to reason why the Negro thusigians and niusic lovers of Harlem
~ should wait for some Nordic proposition of this sort to arouse them
to umted endeavor, ‘That there are musicians, men and women, in the
community who possess suffcicut knowledge ardistically, and acumen
commercially, 10 promote themselves such a movement, and that after,
itg organuation its offerings mixht be laid before the people of the en-
tire city as a purely Negro achievement, \
+ Aduutting the soundness of this argument, it is pumted ont that
the prospecttts of the Commumty Concert Corpvration docs not ap-
pear to indicate an organization limited by racial lines, but that its activi-
ties are intended to embrace every nationality included in the polyglot
population’ this great city. : F |
The plan of the corporation, according to Dr, Spaeth, as reported
by one who heard him, is that aiter the membership roll is completed;
. alist of “world famous artisis will be submitted to thie: executive com-
mittee, who will seléct the attractions and the dates” for the various
recitals in the different commuoities.
_+'Thé sam point at issue, ast apprars to this writer, is as to whe-
ther or not the Negro artists, of recognized standing, the women ‘par-
“ucularly, dre to be listed by the corporation and given the same op-
portunity to appear in other communities as the white artists are to
"be nen to be heard in Harlem. According*to such information as.
ts available, this has been promised by Dr. Spaeth. Without impugn-
ing the wiotive-behind this movement, it must be pointed out that there
is lute reason to believe that race artists will be given the recognition
to which ‘they are titled. ‘The Age will welcome comment froni ine
terested readers on this proposition.
‘This gives rise, at the same time, to speculation upon the cold, hard
fact that Harlem lacks an organization of musicians, either «vocal or
tustrumental, that ix representative of the entire community. Per-
haps the nearest approach to such a body is the Monarch 43 Band,
which, under Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, is endeavoring to supply the
community's musical needs an # Farge way. But, ‘Monarch 43 and
Wan intezeal part of a particular, umt group, with other bands as parts
of othe Smular unit groups, and each of these bands is, to same ex-
tent, a rial of the other, and would probably fecl, and quite natural-
h, equally entitled to “recognition as 4 community represchtaty<.
Hut suppose all of these bands were-to unite, on particular oced-
sons inte eee cohtesize body, then there Could be no dispute as to its
standing, OF course, therg would reinain the matter of leadership, and
iis hardly possible to imagine that the band leaders would be able to
settle upon one mdividual to serve as, director of the coordinated
stoups, « The human equation is still with us.
But t hay been suggested that this*difiiculty could be avorded or
wvercome by & rotation system—each band leader serving a director
vi the combined bands sn turn-as public appearance is made. And
this might serve two good purposes—bring all of the instrumentalists
into harmonious association, and at the same time spur any of the lead-
cre who may be a bit slack in their work to more diligent effort, in fit-
hing themselves for the development of their directing ability.
The recent benefit concert at Salem M. E. Cliurch, for Organist:
Ducctor Arthir Rudolph Grant, with eight city chotrs participating,
have rive to the thought that a combining of thee and other ety
church -elwars would result sf one of the most impressive musica! en-
oeibhs this or any other city has ever heard, In a talk with ene oi
the raye’s mast’ distinguished musicians, he advanced the pinion thet
such an orgumzation would dS more to-unify musical activites amons
the cave mn Haslet thin any other agericy. :
At the same time, the speaker declared that possibly the greatest
hodrance t the formung of stich a combination would be the desie

ledzed that there 1 both substance and weight an ‘this argument, for

and Fifth avenues, - some “5,000
People, men, women. and children,
draved the ‘cold chilly rain of a
cold cheilly May nightto witness
a gorgeous and colorful pageant,
“March of the Nations,” composed
and directed by Mrs, S. W. Layten
of Philadelphia, president of the
Women’s Ausiliary to the Nation:
al. Baptist Convention, presented in
connection with the Tenth Re-
Union and Golden Jubilee of Mt
Olivet Haptist Church, the Rev, Dr
Win. P. Hayes, pastor, on Friday,
May 18, .

was not begun until 9:40 p. m., and
there had besun ta be some’ evi

audience, but @ kroup of musicians

But at the cleventli hour, accord-

that they could not use an outside
orchestra but would be compeWed
to employ the regimental musi
cians, But, said the, this notice was
received too late ty cancel the
booking of his men, and they were
duly on hand for service, At a
late hour Deacon Johnson was an
conference with’ “some of the
chirrch officials and it is thought
that he succeeded in making such
arrangements as would protect the
imerests of himself and musicians
‘The regintental band did the play

By LOUIS WHITE
This contributor to your column, friend whom he feels the column show N. Middletown, of 311% Ninth street, into possession of the medical history of this former porter's success, is like a page, from fiction.
Ten years ago, there came from Boston a young Negro man. He disentent the number of Negroes who he come simply to say, "I am living the North meant only a wider and larger his goal.

tributor to your column received a letterrecieves the column should know. The friend of 31% Ninth street, Aiderson, Ind., whose vision of the medical prefix, was a Pullman porter's success, after many years from fiction.
Ago, there came from Columbia, S. C., to Negro man. He didn't come, like many members of Negroes who had left the Southlake to say, "I am living in the North, now not only a wider and more liberal field in fact, a less ambitious man would have position and environment which was his in thebia he followed the trade of tailoring, when at Benedict College in that city, and one of the largest clothing houses in town young man wasn't satisfied to remain a deser and how they should wear it. His a knowledge of how men should live a life. So, in June, 1918, the young coatmaker be as a porter. It was then that our friend that he was one of a large family, who, be in a small town in South Carolina call. The head of the family, being ambitious, no outlook for them acquiring an education to Columbia. The change in environment, Educational opportunities proved conducive City than those in the hamlet of Dennison the opportunities of Columbia proved them of the young tailor. His aspiration to surgeon. The Pullman service proved on which he was enabled to reach this objective, different times.
Existence in Pullman work was gained while Benedict College, the time being the sum is not permitted to finish out this season, for War, and he was drafted for army service the army, he returned to Benedict. Finn then returned to Boston, and the following city and the College of Liberal Arts. During worked at intervals for the Pullman College school, he continued to work as a poet to enter Meharry Medical College in "Na two years to save enough to get to Mehara institution, he came to Boston every summer. In 1926, he graduated as a physician coatmaker and erstwhile Pullman porter for which he first came North, but he be Indiana town of having ability not only to live, but the skill to treat them so they do history is full of men who, despite disappearing their schools days, have reached theirs of modern times to whom the writer teen for his perseverance in attaining his object, Dr. H. N. Middleton. I am taking this medicine which he richly merits, and in which of this column will be interested.
It: It is just such stories as these, of the Pullman porter and former porter in the Puin welcomes.)
This contributor to your column received a letter recently from a friend whom he feels the column should know. The friend is Dr. H. N. Middleton, of 31½ Ninth street, Anderson, Ind, who before coming into possession of the medical prefix, was a Pullman porter. The story of this former porter's success, after many years of struggling, is like a page, from fiction.
Ten years ago, there came from Columbia, S. C., to the city of Boston a young Negro man. He didn't come, like many, just to augment the number of Negroes who had left the Southland. Nor did he come simply to say, "I am living in the North now." To him the North meant only a wider and more liberal field in which to attain his goal. In fact, a less ambitious man would have been satisfied with the position and environment which was his in the southern city. In Columbia he followed the trade of tailoring, which he learned while a student at Benedict College in that city, and was a special coaster maker for one of the largest clothing houses in town.
But this young man wasn't satisfied to remain a designer of what men should wear and how they should wear it. His real ambition was to acquire a knowledge of how men should live and what they should do to live. So, in June, 1918, the young coaster entered the Pullman service as a porter. It was then that our friendship began.
I learned that he was one of a large family, who, before going to Columbia, lived in a small town in South Carolina called Denmark, his birthplace. The head of the family, being ambitious for his children and seeing no outlook for them acquiring an education in Denmark, moved the family to Columbia. The change in environment justified the move. Educational opportunities proved considerably better in the Capital City than those in the hamlet of Denmark.
But even the opportunities of Columbia proved themselves limited to the ambition of the young tailor. His aspiration was to be a physician and surgeon. The Pullman service proved one of the mediums by which he was enabled to reach this objective. He worked in this service at different times.
His first experience in Pullman work was gained while he was still a student of Benedict College, the time being the summer vacation period. He was not permitted to finish out this season, for it was during the World War, and he was drafted for army service. After being relieved from the army, he returned to Benedict. Finishing at this school, he then returned to Boston, and the following year entered Boston University and the College of Liberal Arts. During his matriculation here, he worked at intervals for the Pullman Company. After finishing at this school, he continued to work as a porter so as to acquire money to enter Meharry Medical College in "Nashville, Tennessee." It took him two years to save enough to get to Meharry. While a student at this institution, he came to Boston every summer and ran as Pullman porter. In 1926, he graduated as a physician and surgeon. Today, the former coatmaker and erstwhile Pullman porter not only bears the title for which he first came North, but he bears the reputation in the Indiana town of having ability not only to tell men how they should live, but the skill to treat them so they do live.
Negro history is full of men who, despite disappointments and setbacks during their schools days, have reached their objective, but there is not one of modern times to whom the writer feels more credit should be given for his perseverance in attaining his object than to his young friend, Dr. H. N. Middleton. I am taking this means of paying him this tribute which he richly merits, and in which, I think, the porter readers of this column will be interested.
(EDITOR: It is just such stories as these, of the doings and achievements of porters and former porters in the Pullman service that the column welcomes.)
Concerning Some Porters

Gibson, who runs on the Twentieth Century Limited, man member of this crack train, so World War, has proved to be as a service army as he was to the Ameer-ing to the appraisement or a fellow-ality the column that Gibson has brought which exemplifies most striking.

H. Gibson, who runs between New York and Beth Century Limited, and who, before beech of this crack train, saw service overseas was proved to be as valuable a member to him he was to the American Expeditionary Brassement of a fellow-porter. This fellow at Gibson has brought to the porter's great complies most strikingly his helpful addition soldier is described as a worker who jobs with dignity and efficiency; in fact, he so thoroughly that his administer eulogies stars in the Pullman service firmament." Finally good porter, Gibson is said to possess one of one's domestic and fraternal life. Pullman evaluates the characteristics of an officer, the praise is not without merit. The crew is one of the column's contributors who good points of those with whom he works, makes these observations.
He had a post card last week bearing the words, "Harry". It bore the picture of "King Street." It came from our old friend, Harry B. Borkers and veteran Pullman porter. "Rice are wont to call him—is making a tour of was the first news we had that he had goes. Still, the information didn't surprise Oskey" does things.
Runs, whose success as a promoter of dances of the Pullman fraternity to Roberts' Saturday evening, June 21, to the first, annual owners of New York. When the Pullman can go all the way to Connecticut for a will be different from anything you have ever perhaps so. Anyway, Perkins' promises abide. Those of you who have the time and me.
Porter W. H. Gibson, who runs between New York and Chicago on the Twentieth Century Limited, and who, before becoming a Pullman member of this crack train, saw service overseas during the late World War, has proved to be as valuable a member to the Pullman service army as he was to the American Expeditionary Army, according to the appraisement of a fellow-porter. This fellow-porter writes the column that Gibson has brought to the porter's group a personality which exemplifies most strikingly his helpful addition to it.
The former soldier is described as a worker who performs the duties of his job with dignity and efficiency; in fact, he combines the two features so thoroughly that his admirer eulogizes him as "oft of the bright stars in the Pullman service firmament." Besides being an exceptionally good porter, Gibson is said to possess a sense of high ideals concerning one's domestic and fraternal life.
When one porter evaluates the characteristics of another so highly and so openly, the praise is not without merit. The cullogizer of the Pullman man is one of the column's contributors who observes and reports the good points of those with whom he works. The column always welcomes these observations.
We received a post card last week bearing the words, "Good Luck", and signed, "Harry". It bore the picture of "King Street, Christensted, St Gron, V. L." It came from our old friend, Harry Brooks, the music patron of Yankers and veteran Pullman porter. "Rich Brooksey"—some of us are wont to call him—is making a tour of the West Indies. The card was the first news we had that he had gone on one of his annual trips. Still, the information didn't surprise us, for that is the way "Brooksey" does things.
J. L. Perkins, whose success as a promoter of dances is well known, invites members of the Pullman fraternity to Roberts Hall, Lakeville, Corn, on Thursday evening, June 21, to the first, annual dance of the Round The Towners of New York. When the Pullman dance specialist was asked why go all the way to Connecticut for a dance, he said, "This dance will be different from anything you have ever seen in Harleston." Perhaps so. Anyway, Perkins promises about dances are usually reliable. Those of you who have the time and money will most likely enjoy it.

Youthful and Tailored Frocks For The First Days of May The New York Age 15c. Practical Pattern
Made on Substantial Craft Paper (Not tissue)
Smart tailored frocks are en-These fabrics are cleverly striped joying an immense vogue this, and printed, as well as plain col-spring and are accepted by women or. It is astonishing what manu- of discrimination with keen pleas- tucturers are doing to materials in-ure. There is nothing so satisfy- the way of design and combination us as wearing a beige dress of colors
ure. There is nothing so satisfying as wearing a becoming dress, and for general use the simple, tailored lines have proven themselves best suited to the majority of women. Therefore every carefully planned wardrobe should include at least one frock, strictly tailored in style. Individuality may assert itself by selecting a fabric that is becoming in texture and coloring.
The month of May brings with it many problems for the woman of moderate means, as warm weather demands frequent change of clothing. The woman who can make her trucks at home has a decided advantage, as for little expenditure she may have a varied wardrobe including the modes newest fancies, with a fair knowledge of fabrics and a degree of discrimination, the woman who uses our patterns will find guidance to the and smartness. Not only are our patterns proportioned and balanced, but also the fitness that are fundamental features of a good garment, but they present the "up to the minute" details, the result of constant touch for foremost contours.
The outstanding feature to which every woman aspires is the slender silhouette. Even the new note or softness and grace, so evident in the feminine design, can not destroy that desire for straight, heyhair lines. The models sketched today embody every detail of the model and present a choice, any one of which would prove conclusively that costume may be achieved by the home sewer. One instantly recognizes the delightful features that always count so much for smartness, particularly those beloved by women of more mature figures. The diagonal lines, as shown in Patterns 1457 and the side jabot in Pattern 1404 are perfect for large women.
There are many interesting fabrics, both as to weave and color, for the development of these frocks. Woodens and silks have equal honor in the fashion world. Jersey and kasha are foremost in popularity among the woolen fabrics, although many very smart frocks are fashioned of lightweight tweeds and flannels. They sound warm, but somehow they aren't. Perhaps because they are so extremely smart, and no women, will acknowledge that she is warm if she knows she is well dressed.

Siks for tailored frocks are charming and many old favorites have returned to the fold. It seems that like the prodigal son, everything that has been lovely in the world of fashion, returns softer or later to be warmly welcomed back to the temminte world. One is overjoyed at the display of beautifully printed and plain Kaahai and Shantungts so in evidence, for no other fabric, in silk, produces so stunning a tailored frock other diligently made of silk or cotton, as Paulette, and charming for simple, straight hued dresses. Crepes are quite important, especially the printed crepe, and even these are employed in the development of sports models. Pattern 104 is a lovely version of the printed frock, graceful in line, yet tailored in effect.
Interesting things are being done to housedresses, too, nowadays. It may be the charm of the printed tablets or it may be the smart lines that have transformed these necessary frocks from dull unbecoming bits of cloth to smart, attractive creations. Women are glad to wear the bare mini-ideal out of their homes. It is 1999 special of the clever influence in producing a little housedress that will prove a joy to the busy woman who spends part of her time in her home or kitchen.
For the younger generation, tashins are decidedly smart, and little trucks are simply adorable with their tiny, short sleeves, their attractively printed materials and their smart details. Those are a wide range of colors and color combinations in flowered designs. One may choose material on which animals chase one another, or on which trees and fruits vie with each other in vividness of color in design. Quince tins, jugs, also, are decorated with colorful tins, on light and dark backgrounds. Pattern 1117 and 1187 are smart versions of tatter-tail models for the fashionable mosaic from two to six years of age.
Color for young and older folks, alks, are exquisitely lovely. Plant fabrics run the entire gown, from soft, alluring paste shades to the most vivid and gorgeous of colors. Blues, greens, orchid, heiges, and roses vie with the nays, red violets and tails for first place. One scarcely knows what to select unless one's coloring demands certain shades. Among the prints, the choice is almost unlimited, regarding design and color combinations. Thus, the tremendous advantage of home sewing, when one may have several frocks, of every desirable color for the same cost of one frock purchased in a shop. The frocks pictured, toads, are too to make, and so stunning when made that we describe them with keen pleasure.

PATTERN 1457
Distinction of line and tailored simplicity combine to make an extremely smart one piece dress in Pattern 1457. The slender silhouette is achieved through the diagonal blouse line. The buttoned blouse repeats its effect in the skirt, accenting the side pleats. A tiny pocket in the blouse gives a touch that is quite different. A narrow belt, buckled at the surplice closure, causes a slight blossoming that is most becoming. This model suggests a stunning striped heavy silk broadcloth or shantung, or in cloth is preferred, a mannish pearly or kasha. Shades of grey or tan are smart with chic bone or metal buttons for trimming. A vivid splash of color might be acquired with a silk handkerchief worn in the pocket. A colorful flower is lovely worn on the shoulder. This frock is very swagger worn with either a printed scarf or a fur neck piece.
May be obtained in sizes 10 to 44.
PATTERN 1447
Without sacrificing any of its charm, Pattern 1447 is as ample and neat as a tiny tot's play frock could be. The panties and frock age fashioned of print, either in chalts, gingham or percale. An unusually attractively shaped collar ends in smart points at either side of the square neck line. Collar, cuffs and pockets are made of
Another particularly smart tailored model is presented in Pattern 1468. The unusual treatment of oval yoke is pleasantly repeated in the skirt section. There are invented pleats that afford graceful fullness as the skirt swings. The sketch shows the collar work open, but it is quite as smart when buttoned close to the neck. Several combinations suggest the selves for the development of the outfit. Two tones of flat crepe use of jersey with silk crepe or two shade of blue are splendid this season. A great many smart frocks are done in grey and white with delightful results, the vested cuffs and skirt may be grey, the blouse, white. A narrow belt of the material, or a smart leather belt finishes the frock in chic fashion. May be obtained in sizes 16 to 44.
PATTERN 1404
The vogue of prints is delightfully featured in Pattern 1401, and the woman of good taste will thoroughly appreciate this model. Decidedly feminine, yet cleverly tallened in effect, this one piece dress suggests a breath of summer in the modish wardrobe. An unusual pointed tab and jabot treatment on the blouse, finds its way to a smart double, belt effect. These belts hold in fullness through the hipline and fasten oddly by means of two attractive buckles. The inverted pleated skirt is stitched part of the way, thus holding the pleats in place and at the same time forming slender lines of chic. Contrasting bands of plain material offer charging relief to the floral patterns and finish neck, jabot and waistline with lovely simplicity. The woman of larger figure will find this model most becoming. May be obtained in sizes 16 to 144.
linen or pique. Many color schemes possibilities are presented in this little model. Gayly flowered designs on backgrounds of yellow or green combine beautifully with linen in plain color for trimming. White is always attractive to finish a kiddies frock. A pert bow adds piquance to the little outfit. May be obtained in sizes 2 to 6.
PATTERN 1487
This model is also a smart tailored dress for the young miss. Pattern 1487 boasts quite an oddly shaped collar with cunning little pockets to match. No simpler frock could possibly be found, yet what dainty charm is displayed in its simplicity. Printed linen or percale fashion a sturdy frock that will stand much hard wear and many washings. Brightly figured prints combine nicely with white or harmonizing plain color fabric of the collar, cuffs and pockets are made. The bloomers of course, are developed in the same material as the frock. May be obtained in sizes 2 to 6.
PATTERN 1499
Tailored simplicity has been carried with great success into the world of house frocks. Pattern 1499 shows a delightful model with unusual point treatments. The long, pointed votee and inverted pleat exceptionally smart and slender lines. The pointed effect is further carried out in the patch pocket. Could anything be dainter than this pattern developed in printed linen or percale with vestee, cuffs, collar and pocket flaps fashioned of white pique or linen. Tiny buttons adorn the vestee and pockets and add a pleasing touch to the frock. Quite smart and fresh looking is a red and white printed percale with red buttons on the white trimming to give a charming, colorful effect.
May be obtained in sizes 16 to 44.
