Gladys McCarver, twenty, her pretty face tear-stained, her blonde hair mussed and her voice shaking with fright, walked into the West 47th Street Station Tuesday and said she wanted to be arrested for her part in the murder of Jesse Blunt, Negro cabaret owner, on the sidewalk in front of her home, 134 Haven avenue, Sunday morning. The girl said she came here from her home in 29th street, Lowell, Mass., some time ago and became acquainted with Blunt who gave her employment as a dancer in his "black and tan" Lenox avenue Club.

"But last week," she said, "he beat me and knocked me around just to show what he could do to me if he wanted," and I ran away from him. "I went to the home of some of my white, friends and told them how Jeff was treating me. "So they said: 'Alright you go over to the club and make up with him and get him to take you home and we'll fix him up so that he won't ever hit you again.' "Honest, I didn't know what they were going to do. I just thought they'd punch him a little, and tell him he would get worse if he ever hit me again." Then she told how a man—she thought two or three men—ran out of the shadows of the apartment house doorway as Blunt got out of the taxicab and shot him down. The girl said she went to Philadelphia to go to Atlantic City to get in a cafehair, but her conscience made her turn back. She was taken in charge by Detective Kelby of the Fort Washington Avenue Station, who is trying to get her to give the names of the men who shot Blunt. Kings Mountain, N.

Swindle Operator Who Got Warner's $5,000 In Gold Put On Trial Alleged to have engineered a confidence game in which H. S. Warner, a Negro real estate operator of 654 Lenox avenue, Manhattan, was fleeced out of $5,000, Walter Rafael, a Negro with a wife and two children living at 79 East 113th street, Manhattan, was to appear before Magistrate Lawrence T. Green, in the Jamaica Court Monday no charge of grand larceny. Warner had been saving the money for ten years for the education of his son in college. Detectives John O'Brien and Charles Kraemer, of the Jamaica Squad, and Detective Samuel Battle, of the Sixteenth Precinct, arrested Rafael. Two others, known to Warner as Bolancie, who posed as an African, and Hezekia Johnson, both Negroes, also are sought. Warner says that Rafael was his tenant for five months at 2465 Second avenue, Manhattan, and only changed his living quarters following the incident. Rafael is alleged to have advised Warner to see a certain African, who later proved to be Bolancie, about communicating with the dead. He said that this "priest" had talked with an Indian, who revealed that Warner's father knew of a buried pot of gold which he was anxious for his son to inherit. Warner believed the statements as he was six when his father died. Following an appointed time and meeting place, Warner and the three men decided to visit the burial ground in South Jamaica, Queens. Here they found the burial spot and all started to dig for the treasure. It was not long before they struck a hard object, which later proved to be a concrete cover. On this was printed "$300,000 in gold, 1776, R. I. P." It was explained that R. I. P meant "Rest in peace." Before going on the trip, Warner had been told to bring with him $5,000, which he was to give Bolancie to chase away all evil spirits. Warner then suggested that the treasure be removed from the ground. Bolancie objected, saying that, according to the Indian, his father lid not wish him to receive the money immediately. Bolanchie said that on the following day all spirits would be gone and Warner could then get the money. When the three, failed to appear on the following day, Warner became suspicious. At the home of Rafael he found that the Negro had moved, the previous evening. No knowing the addresses of the other men he notified police of his loss. --- Large Eastern Delegations Not Committed To Any Candidate, and Western States Are Favorable Because of Farm Policy Chicago, Ill.—With the Republican National Convention only a month away, no candidate for President has a commanding lead among the delegates. With three-fourths of the delegates chosen, it is evident at this time that no candidate will be able to foreclose his claim on the nomination in advance and the nomination is going to be made by the delegates in the convention. --- The subjunctive figures gives the actual delegate situation at this time, as nearly as possible to determine from the most trustworthy and unbiased sources within the respective states. The fact that this table does not coincide with certain other sources may any why reflect upon its accuracy. Only those delegates who are known to have made their position clear are listed; and all others are put in the impledged at this time. Delegates Not Pledged This shows that the large eastern delegations, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware, are not certain to any candidate, except the last one. The best information available is that this situation will continue, and that these delegations will go to Kansas City with open minds. Their leaders have announced that they want to nominate the candidate who stands the best chance of election. No intensive campaign has been carried on for Governor Lowden. The delegates who have been elected for him are therefore supporting him because they believe in him and the things they believe in him and the things for which he likes him, because they believe in him and the things for which he likes him, because they believe in him. This means that neatly all the Lowden delegates are firmly committed to him, and it has been frequently remarked that few of these delegates have a second choice. It is now becoming more difficult to bring about his nomination by standing like a rock, and it is believed that they will so stand. Gov. Lowden's Strength It is stated by unbiased observers that Governor Lowden will carry every state which any Republican nominee can carry, and will carry some status that no other nominee can win. He can win nomination can states claimed by Governor Smith's friends, and it is conceded that he can carry as many of these states as any other candidate. There is no question that he would carry all the middle West and the West, probably by record majorities. He would border states between the North and the South. He has the respect and friendship of all classes of people, and has the antagonism of none. His campaign this year has made no enemies for the party and has been from the standing of availability, he will withstand any comparison. According to a statistical, table 82f1 Out by the Lowdin highquarters, there are now 219 delegates pledges to Governor, Lowden and a total of 426 other delegates either unpledged or pledged to a favored candidate. The first ballot, the Lowdin campaign managers intimate, that most of these delegates will fall to their candidate. Negro Hospitals WASHINGTON, D.

By ANDREW F. ROSENOND (Collebrated World Traveler, Violinist and Teacher, Mr. Rosewood is now studying in Paris.) George W. Mitchell, special messenger to the United States. Consulted in world affairs and the institution of finishing twenty years of service abroad. Mr. Mitchell was born at Riffin, (near Reedsville) North Carolina, and attended the public schools there. When he had become a young man he went to Chicago to be joined the Tenth Cavalry. The famous "Buffalo Bill" picked twelve men from the "Tent" for his show and "Goorge" was one of them. He remained with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show (which also bonusted of one hundred, and three "pure blood" Indians) from its beginning in 1902 until its end in 1907. He came to Paris in 1902 and was stationed in England, Scotland Wales, France, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Germany and Belgium. The last performance was given at Ghent. Mitchell then returned to Paris where he applied for work at the Consulate. He was appointed as messenger at the United States Consulate at Marseilles under Robert P. Skinner in 1907. He remained there for one year and was transferred to Hamburg "with his chief" for a five-year stay, then he was appointed Berlin for eighteen months and afterwards journeyed to London for eleven years. On May 9th, he will have completed three years of service. In Paris with a grand total of more than twenty years of faithful service for his country. Mr. Mitchell, who speaks French German and English, has served most of his time with Consul General Skinner. Some time ago, when Mr. Skinner was appointed to Greece, Mr. Mitchell was retained here. His new "chef" is to work with the Consul, he was most influential and at the height of his power, during which time he added many members of his race. Thinking of many incidents in his colorful life, he said that "Buffalo Bill" was the fairest man for whom he had worked. In new Owl City, he was the most famous show man that he could not parade with his colored riders. He called all of his men together and said; "Boys, we expect trouble. We'll all parade today or we'll all go to hell." They paraded with sabres drawn. Needless to say there was no trouble. A similar affair happened in Memphis. After twenty years of service for his country, George Washington Mitchell has been, "promoted" from messenger to the exalted position of "special messenger."

Graduate Courses At Hampton Summer School Hampton Institute, Va.—One of the popular courses at the teachers, summer school at Hampton Institute is that given by Stanley A. Harris, director of interacial activities of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Harris has been connected with Scout movement inception nineteen years ago in Great Britain. The course last year reached its limit of thirty students and it is expected that the course this summer will be equally attractive. The rapid development of the boy scout movement throughout the South has disclosed the need for trained leadership and it is felt that the movement cannot develop faster than its leadership.

C.-The unveiling of a bronze bust of the late John E. Millihand in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chrief, at 4 p.m., Sunday May 20, was simple but impressive. Seated on the rostrum were Mrs John E. Millihand and a party of friends who accompanied her from New York. Dr. Emmett J.

Dr. Johnson declared that the Negro people of America had come to their present place not by any easy route, but by untold spiritual suffering on the part of such men as John E. Milholland who despised the suffering for the sheer joy of doing what they did. Mrs. Jean Robert Foster of New York City read to the delight of all present a poem entitled "John Milholland."

Senator Copeland is a very close political associate of "Al" Smith; and the irony of a fate which might require life-saving aid from associate of the person abused is apprehended. In May 23 in the Senate Helfin's ravings against the Catholic Church made him such a pathetic figure until even Negroes who observed him were moved to pity for the befy Alabaman, who was nothing but a pitiful sight to behold. He was so obsessed that only Helfin, the pastor, and prevent intermingling of blacks and whites in New York dance-halls until he completely lost self-control. Requested by Senators Warren and Curtis to yield and allow some time for this transaction of "Senate business, Helfin objectively declined saying that what he was talking about was of more importance to the country. The Heflin Debacle The Helfin debacle occurred when the galleries applauded Senator Overman (Dem.) N. C., for rebukein the Alabaman, in defending North Carolinians who may be for Gov. Smith as Presidential nominee; againin Heell's aspersions, in then that Heell turned and, lifting it, the galleries; showed: "You Romanists applauding in the galleries. If I see which one of you is doing it, I will put you out!" The Senator's mental state easily may be grasped by recalling his words; for if there were "Romanists" applauding in the gallery, why should he threaten to eject the "Romanist"—if he could see which ONE was doing it. And, certainly, a threat to the cop is not the proper mites of U.S. Senator! Ejection is the function and duty of Canitol policemen. Heffin, who sports a yellow summer suit and soft white shirt when it comes to tearing his "biled candle" to tearing his candle and saddle-colored vest, his hicky stature and his anti-palent exertions turn him a brick-rid, akin to the appoetite-purple, hue. It was this assortment of colors which moved Albert W. Fox of New York to that Heffin was dressed in white and yellow papal colors and with his face a cardinal red. * . Bitter Against Catholics. The bulky Alabaman has become so bitter against the Catholic Church on the floor of the Senate until many suspect that the poor fello has passed the line which separates monomania from paranoia at times both parties seem to look at him as a sort of "forgive him for the knowth not what he sayeth" feeling. He holds up the public business at will, nevertheless; and an attack of the House is alleged to have said: "Heflin ought; to be on our side of the Capitol, where deceive limited." Save for one brief line later, Heflin has left "Negro baiting" likely to the "bleating" Blease from South-Carolina. An "old, philosophical colored gentleman of over 40 years observations around the Capital said Heilin reminded him of Lep Bell, who had a mania for playing pool, and who replied to all remonstrances to quit-neglecting important things with the statement—"I quits when my brother comes back, and he been dead 17 years." Lep suddenly quit. His brother "came back!" The point of comparison is that Heffin probably sees his prototypes—Tillman, South Carolina, supposed to be in heaven, and Vardahl, in an Alabama asylum, fixed in an Alabama asylum, locked on him. And, to quote another: "Senter. Heilin ain't goin' git no 'assinated; he goin' assinate itself' if he don't quit this blood vessel' if he has the blood vessels' in his hair, goin' wide open, if he ain't keerful; if I as done I hear them doctors said" 6th Summer Session At Howard University Washington', D.

H. Albert Smith, instructor and chaplain at the North Carolina College, has discovered through a recent experience that the white man's race prejudice would debar black men from hearing the Gospel of the Son of God. Rev. Smith's unique experience came in connection with a special religious service held at the new First Baptist Church (white) last Monday morning, at which time "Billy" Sunday, the famous evangelist, preached to a throng of 2,300 who crowded the building. Although present an hour before the service was scheduled to begin the colored clergyman and his wife were refused admission by the usher. The Negro clergyman sent for a white minister one of whose conductors he had in the last year presented from the college rostrum, and this divine confirmed the words that "no provision had been made for colored people." Rev. Smith raised a vigorous protest which elicited from his white brother the angry retort: "You will be lucky now to gain admission because your attitude is bad. You dare question the sincerity of gain meeting.

Nevertheless the ministers went into conference and after ten or fifteen minutes, not only were the colored minister and his wife admitted, but a small section of the gallery was reserved for Negroes; and two colored women, who had also been refused admission were given opportunity to hear the famous evangelist. Rev. Smith comments as follows with reference to the incident: "When co-workers here at the institution told me that churches in Durham would actually turn Negroes away from their doors, I refused to believe them. But my recent experience proves them to have been right. "My purpose for attending this particular service was to hear the HELLO EVERYBODY STARR HAWLEY Announcing STATION V. T. R.

But great was my surprise when Mrs. Smith and I were refused admission. "The conversation which I had with one of the white ministers respecting this policy of excluding colored was as illuminating as it was pathetic. Smiling graciously and speaking with suavity and urbanity he confirmed the usher's statement. "Naturally, I was indignant, for the meeting had been advertised in both the morning and evening papers as open to the public. My challenge was: 'Do you mean to say that a Negro cannot enter this church to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ?' In response to the reiteration of this first statement, I remarked that such an attitude so far as I was concerned impugned the sincerity of the promoters of the program. "This brought forth an angry retort about my having a bad attitude and an extensive, rationalizing of the whole procedure. Besides, there was a veiled threat of ejection from the vestibule. Of course, my friend did not stop to consider his attitude. Why should he? He was white! Yet I knew that his attitude was both unchristian and ungentlemanly. "Well, my protest was not vain. It took from five to ten minutes to decide the matter of admitting two colored persons to a building with a seating capacity of over 2,000. And then, not only were we seated, but a station which would accommodate fifty or more persons as reserved for Negroes. Commenting on race relations in the South, Rev Smith said: "Negroes submit meekly and without protest to a good many conditions to which we do not need to submit. We practice segregation in our churches and public meetings even though we protest it when whites segregate us. When whites attend an affair under the auspices of Negroes, they expect front seats and usually get them. When Negroes attend affairs under the direction of whites, they expect gallery seats and always get them. This should not be Daytona Beach, Fla.—Pre-commencement exercises included the observance of National Music Week, May 7 to 12, featured on Friday evening by the annual commencement recital. Miss M.

"I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a lazive is needed). It is fine for that. "My trouble is chiefly constipation which is always accompanied by dull headache, backache, and pains in my sides. I think Black-Draught is the quickest and best relief for this." Denmark, S.

Recent press reports from Stuttgart, Ark., tells of the herosom of a Negro chauffeur who saved the life of his employer at the risk of his own. While the two were driving, the steering gear broke and the car plunged into a drainage ditch. The white man was pinched under the machine, with his head under water. The chauffeur succeeded in reaching him and for ninety minutes held his head out of the water until rescuers came.

WINSLOW'S SYRUP Pythian Officials In Alabama Hailed Into Court By Attorney General On Charges of Graft, Wholesale Theft First Suit Filed In July, 1927, Was Thrown Out, But Policy-Holders Have Filed a Second Suit, Which Started May 25 Birmingham, Ala.-The Alabama Knights of Pythias; headed by R. A. Blount, grand chancellor, have renewed their troubles in court as was seen Friday before Judge William Walker of this city. In July, 1927, a suit was filed by the Attorney General of this State for a receiver for the endowment department of the order, charging graft, waste, stealing- and reckless conduct generally on the part of officers. A plea to the jurisdiction was sustained by Judge Walker and congred by the Supreme Court. This plea set out that the Attorney General of the State had no authority and the court had no power to act under such a complaint. In its decision the Supreme Court set out some very important facts, stating that it was the right of policy-holders to bring such suit and a receiver should be appointed if the allegations were sustained. Second Bill Filed. The second bill was filed early in the month of April by policy-holders and the hearing started Friday, May 25. The officers, U. G. Mason, endowment treasurer; I. B. Kigh, chairman of endowment board; Morris. Smith, secretary of endowment; E. A. Brown, grand attorney; *W. H. Brazier, grand keeper of records and seal; R. I. Mabry, grand master of exchequer; R. A. Blount, grand chancellor, and a majority of the members of the board of directors are fightinf to prevent a hearing on the bill presented by policy-holders. Up to now the court has overruled every plea submitted by the respondents, and when the case was passed Friday night to be continued Tuesday morning. John W. Altman, Assistant Attorney General, had called witnesses to be sworn and it is stated that the hearing of evidence will begin Tuesday morning. This bill charges graft, waste, and wholesale stealing on the part of officers and also charges that unless a halt is made the endowment department will be destroyed through these schemes and financial manipulations. These investigations have been going on for nearly four years and the complaint is built around the certified accountants' reports where startling criminal revelations are made. Daytona Beach, Fla.-To an audience which packed the capacity of White Hall, the twenty-fourth commencement exercises of Bethune-Cookman College were held on Thursday morning, May 17, at ten o'clock. The services began with the baccalaureate sermon on Sunday, May 13, by Dr. Robert Show Wilkinson, president of the State College at Orangeburg, S. C. South Carolina is the native State of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president and founder of Bethune-Cookman College, and the State College, just three years ago, conferred the master of arts degree upon Mrs. Bethune. "South Carolina, Dr. Wilkinson stated, "feels a closeness to Mrs. Bethune and glories even as much as does Daytona Beach, in appreciation for the work she is doing here and throughout the world for a better interracial understanding and the thorough training of the younger people of her race. He complimented the work of the school, because of the fact that it is doing just those things which will make possible the drawing out of the finest qualities in Negro youth, to make the best type of citizen." Twenty-six young men and women were presented diplomas from the high school, three from the junior college, four from the school of business, and sixteen from the department of home economics. ia RAMEE PIE 2 8 8 Soe ei ee ee aioe ies np. .<| nest, that ‘fe ae Mew, Bork.

If that is so, it would -indi¢até that the. continued protest “against departmental segregation and the “pressure appli¢d for its sepeal finally made an impression.

It hailed with satisfaction the arousing of the better, element of the whites ta sense of their duty in the premises, of which the Feport of the grand jury was a,sign, The Sentinel ‘said of this dacument: The barbarous methods used in handling colored prisoners were roundly scored. ‘The + feport‘condemned au officer who slew a col- ” Gred: boy that was being pursued as a petty | thief.

Police brutality and violence vented upon help- less prisoners is not confined to any: one section of the country. ~The only differ. ence is that in civilized sections such ex-| posures as were’ made in Miami would have resulted in the conviction and pan- ighment of the offending officers. * ‘The ivrther news that Shelby county in Texas. seored another lynching last week, after an interval of five years, showed that white civilization in the Sauth is. still on an insecure basis, ‘The Associated press report of this Jatest, moh murder stated that the prisoner who was charged with’ killing a white man, was seized from the sheriff and consta- ble who had recaptured him after his es- cape from jail, by a mub of between two Inindred and three Iundred men. With, litle ceremony he was hanged from the. same limb of an oak tree in the court house yard, where another Negro was lynched five years ago . ‘The report closed with the stereotyped phrase: “No action was taken against members of the mob."

Adin ttasae:. aaimaiewbaaice President Coolidge’s veto of .the Me- Nary-Haugen Farm Relief bill hailed by his ‘admirers and conservative Repubti- cans generally as a great state paper. It pointed out in detail the weakness of the equalization scheme proposed and de- nounced is as unconstitutional. — Mr. Coolidgt went further and sharply lec- tured the anti-Administration Senators who supported it, The New York Her- ald Tribune, the spokesman of Jatterday THE NEW VOR AG we Republicanism, denounced . the: equatiza- ‘ion: plan 'a5,a' political nostrum like free silver -coinage, and “said, “It <savors_ too muuch of get-rich-quick financing at’ the government's expense, ‘The President's veto was sustained in the Senate, the bill failing to get the necessary two-thirds vote. Of the fiftj votes cast in its fayor twenty were Re- Publican, one Farm Laborite and twen: 4y-nine Democratic. Of the thirty-one opposed, nineteen were Republican and twelve Democratic. “So, it will be seen that -both parties are pretty badly, split over the issue, At that, the failure to Pass some measure of farm relief is ex. pected to do "more harm to the Repub: licans,” if the issue'is carried into .the Presidential contest, as now looks prob- able. The farmers’ vote of the West has been regarded’ as the backbone ‘of the Republican party in that section, though at times inclined to dally with Populist and Farmer-Labor theories. i Wher so level-headed a Republican as former Goyernor Lowden of Illinois fav- ored the Farm Relief measure, unless the ‘Republicans could devise something better, attention was directed to the seri- ousness of the sittation. Mr, Lowden is far from being a populist or labor agi- tator, Besides having proved an able business administrator as governor, lic is also a practical farmer and business man, Were it not for his espousal of the farm- ers’ cause, he would he classed among the capitalists allied with big business, Wien a man of his calibre supports the farm relief measure, there must be soide need for such a remedy. . While the’ bill just vetoed may tave been far from perfect, there is ample rea- son-to believe, that their is something wrong with the farmer, and he natural: ly looks to a paternal government and a full treasury for relief. It may be that Henry Ford struck at the root of the trouble, whei he said that the farming industry’ needed to be run on a big busi hess sealé, so as to eliminate much of the overhead expenses,-lessen the cost of production and standardize the products, Af crops could be turned out with the same facility as motor cars, this might solve the problem. : If this Congréss fails to do anything for the farmers, it will be up to the two national conventions to make strong promises in their platforms as to future legislation. As both parties are divided on the question, the one which promises the most is likely: to get the farmers’ Votes, unless they decide to rin a third ticket, which is not likely though al- ways a possibility. ‘The’ effect of the veto world seem to dispose of the possi- Lility of Mr. Coolidge ageepting the nom- ination, even if he was drafted. ‘The Age would gladly see “Mr. Lowden nominat: ed, althouh it would incline to support any Republican who. measured up to his standard for character and. ability, STREAKS OF DISHONESTY. ‘The scamy side of human nature is se viten bared ty the judges of our crim: inal courts, that it must require sonic: thing extraordinary to puzzle them. Yet according to the newspaper reporters, this feat was accomplished by the conduct of five women from a sinall town in Jer- sey, wha came to New York for the ex- press purpose of shoplifting. ‘These wo- men, far from having any training for crime, appear to have been ordinary ‘housebodies, until their, avarice was ¢x- cited by watching tke operations of a professional shoplifter in a Newark de- partment store.

Church The work of the church is moving along jibbly, but we feel little the effects of being so far down town, while most of our members have moved to the Harlem section. However, the loyalty displayed by the members is heartening. The fact that the work on the new edifice is progressing so rapidly, the people going by daily to observe that it is to be no mean place of worship, is having its effect. One of these effects is the arousing in other churches a desire to get out and get new quarters. We are pleased to know this, for we have contended all along that is what is needed is that the colored churches show that they are in earnest about their work, and when white people either charge exorbitant prices for the churches they are faced to venerate, refuse, under one pretext or another, to sell to colored churches, then is the kine for the churches to strike out for themselves. Abyssinian, Mother Zion, St. Mark's, and other churches did this, and St. Paul is following their lead. If this shall be the means of others, following, it will be a splendid ting for our race. --- The services during the past week were all very good/ Miss Julia A. Booker, whose group had charge of the service at B. Y. P. A. Wednesday night past, had a wonderful program, and even exceeded the point of attendance and offering the preceding meeting. We are doingour best to work up a real live interest in this young people's work before moving up to Harlem. The pastor preached three times on Sunday. 11 a. m., "The Church's Teaching Function." 4 p. m. "The Compassionate Christ," the united ushers. 8 p. m. "Conditions Under Which Christians Are Sent by Christ." Each sermon had its effect by those who heard them. We are looking forward to the corner stone service to be held on Sunday, June 3. The indoor service will be in Salem M. E. Church, with its pastor, Dr. F. Cullen, presiding. The outdoor service will be on the grounds of the new church, 249-251 West 132nd street, with the State Convention and Empire Lodge, F. & A. M., having charge of the service. Rush Memorial Church Our pastor, Rev. G. M. Oliver, returned from conference during the week, and was the preacher for the morning service. His text was from St. John's Gospel 1:29, "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world," with him also was Mrs. E. Oliver and Mrs. L. G. Stakemann, the church's representatives to the conference. Mrs. Stakemann gave a comprehensive report of her representation, much to the satisfaction of the officers and members of the church: The church also reproves to have Rev. Oliver reappointed as his pastor for the ensuing term. The evening service was conducted by Oliver who preached from St. Matthew 20:11 and stand you here all day title? The subject matter was most interesting and impressive. Refuge Church of Christ The junior church on Wednesday evening has aroused great interest, and they carry a splendid crowd, both young and old. They have taken on new life spiritually, and have among their group a prayer meeting, all young people under 20 years. Many are being filled with the Spirit. Last-Wednesday the service was of marked interest. All last week was the celebration of the birth of the Church Universal, that was born on the day of Penterock over 1900 years ago, by the outpour of the Holy Ghost, preceded by ten days of prayer and praising God, from the day the Lord ascended. This meeting is held annually by this church in honor of the gospel and faith of Jesus Christ and His Church which He began on that day in the Spirit. Sunday services were splendid, Sunday morning, Eld. Geo. White of Washington, D. C., with us again and preached, from Isaiah 9:11. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Speaking from a material sense he said, there are many different types of lights manifested in the weld unto men, but this light that the prophet speaks of here is far superior to any other light. Thank God, it is not only to Israel that the message comes now, but to all people for this is that true light, which lighteth every man that touch into the world Jno. 1:9. Thatism, to each one the word of the Lord cometh, "Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness troune you for, you that walketh darkness knoweth not whether he is Jesus that is light. As the evening hour, the pastor patched from Amos 8:7. "The Lord hath swned by the excellency of Jacob, surely I will not forget any of their works." Subject: "Gor's terrible memory." God swears by the tokens of His presence with the people and His favor to them, which they had profaned and abused, and had done all they could seemingly to make that which God had ordained to their glory and life, detestable and vexing to Him. Therefore, He swears to their desolation and scourging for their sins. The same message holds good in regard to the people who are not living up to their privilege in the word of God and yet professing to be His followers. He will never forget the works of those who profane His worship. Grace Church of Harlem An audience much reduced in size, but interesting to look upon, was present at Grace Church is. Sunday morning. The pastor and choir were in their places at the hour of eleven. There was no fuss nor noise. The organist began to play at three minutes of eleven and promptly at eleven the simple, unpretentious service of the free church began. The worship was dignified, the preaching was good, and the choir was ine. The audience was attentive. Miss Pearl McGowen confessed Christ, baptised and united with the church. There were several things of interest chiefly to the membership, such as announcements about the British Pilgrimage, and certain concerts and entertainments. Mrs. Jennie Williams made a statement concerning improvements about the church building and she was encouraged by the pastor to cooperate with the church in the work, which she accepted and was given the leadership in a definite task. The afternoon exercise was in charge of the Young Men—their club is called the Atheneum. They are chiefly undergraduates from the City College. The subject discussed was "The Atheneum." It was a no decision bout! The offering was for the benefit of Boy Scout Camp Fund. The night service at Grace was uneventful. Which enthusiasm is being manifested at Grace Church over the coming events. Next Sunday at 11 a.m. the Rev. S. O. B. Johnson, pastor of Lloyd Memorial Congregational Church, Buffalo, N. Y., and president of the National Convention of Congregational Workers College in Grace Church. He is enroute to the convention that meets at Winston-Salem, N. C., June 20 to 24. Mother Zion Church A large and appreciative audience welcomed the pastor, Rev. J. M. Brown, upon his return to his pulpit after an absence of three Sundays. It being Memorial Sunday, Dr. Brown preached upon "Our Covenant With Our Dead." Exodus 1214. "The real purpose of Memorial Day is not only to glorify the past, but to sanctify the present, and to help us not to forget the lessons which our country's wars have taught us, and to keep covenant with our dead. It has flowers and orations for the dead and exhortations for the living." church during the day.

He emphasized the unity that should exist between the churches of the different denominations, for only, in this united front, can success be attained in this great battle. 8 p. m., the West Indian Benevolently worshiped with us and had a scholarly address by the vicar.

The text was 2nd Pt. first pass, of the last Sermon: Sinus Peter a servant with his. Subject: "Precious Faith." Some of the outstanding truths of his discourse were that all genuine faith must be tested and tried; faith in adversity grows stronger and more deeply rooted; faith is as difficult to define as love; faith is the instinctive answer of the soul to its need of God and faith without works is dead. It was announced that a drama, "Bethelian's Feast," will be given by the choir on June 7. The Citizens' Committee gave $20 more, making a total of $320 given.

CLARK Lew Leslie To Make "Blackbirds" An Annual B'way Revue Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928," the current edition of which is on display on the stage of the Liberty Theatre, will become an annual edition very much after the manner of George White's "Scandals" and the Ziegfield Follies. So announced Lew Leslie yearday who is completing plans to bring a new version of "Blackbirds" into the Liberty Theatre each year with the aid and cooperation of A. E. Erlanger, multimillionaire producer and theatre owner. "Broadway has been looking forward to an annual colored revue for years," declared Lew Leslie, "and only now am I in a position to promise both white and colored playgoers an annual edition of my 'Blackbirds.' I am prompted to make 'Blackbirds' an annual revue because of the fact that years of effort in trying to raise the standard of colored shows is at last becoming a reality. Colored artists, knowing they will some day come down to Broadway, have been, polishing themselves with the result when I do open a colored production on Broadway, the critics hail it with commendatory reviews. "I believe, too, that colored writers, composers, and musicians, knowing that their efforts will be represented on Broadway, will try the more to become adept in their chosen fields. At the present time we have very few colored writers who can, really turn out first grade skits and songs that are not copies of Negro humor and, music done over and over again in every colored show produced. In my opinion an annual edition of 'Black birds will spur ambitious authors to greater efforts with the result that the Negro race will in a short time develop a group of authors comparable to Rodgers and Hart, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, B. G. DeSylva, Ray Henderson, Lew Brown, William K Wells and others, all of whom stand pre-eminent in the field of musical comedy and 'revue on Broadway "I was forced to use the lyrics and music of Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh for the sole reason that I could find no material suitable for my revue written by colored craftsmans. I believe my plan will eliminate white folks writing for colored revues, for, after all, nobody knows the colored race, its music, its humor and its pathos better than the colored people. "Furthermore, I am moved to go through with my plans, for one outstanding reason," concluded Lew Leslie, "and that is to establish a suitable and lasting memorial to the first Blackbird of them all. Florence Mills. Nothing, to my mind, could be more lasting, nothing more beautiful to the memorial of Florence Mills, than to perpetuate her memory by making 'Blackbirds' an annual revue." Brooklyn Omega Men Present Two Plays And Musical Program On Monday evening, May 28, the Leta Psi Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity presented two plays, "Aftermath", by Mary Burrill, and "Fool's Errand" by Euliane Spence, with a musical program at the Central Branch Y. M. C. A. auditorium under the direction of Alexander F. Miller. The entertainment instituted the first attempt by a local fraternity group to foster the little theatre movement, and was enthusiastically received. The assistance given by several young ladies in both plays, and the musical program, contributed in a large measure to the success of the evening. "Foops' 'Ferrand,' a Belaison prize play, was exceptionally well done. The work of the Misses Ethel Bennett, Martha Taylor, Beatrice Henderson and Marie Dodson was colorful and artistic. Clarence, Pope as a suitor seemed unusually sincere. S. Malcolm Dodson as "Parson Williams" and Mia Elizabeth Hickman as a sister of the church council were a scream. In "Aftermath," a serious dream, Miss Frances Humphrey as "Mam Sue" and S. Augustus Walker rendered classic bits of characterization The acting of Alexander F. Miller and Clarence S. Johnson as the venerable "Brudder Moseby" illustrated in a life-like manner the contrast between the Negro of former days who loved "Marse" so well, and the independent forceful south of today. Miss Gwendolyn Walker, lyric soprano, and Mrs. Anna Coleman, pianist, rendered a splendid musical program. They were followed by the Zeta Pai Quartet, consisting of Clarence Johnson, James Trottman, Archibald Glover and James Holbrook in their initial appearance.

Miss Swanson plays "Sadie Thompson," the pathetic outcast who is plunged to the depths of misery through the influence of the despotic reformer, "Alfred Atkinson." During the production of "Sadie Thompson," the producer-star repeatedly remarked that she had never played a character which held her interest so closely, mor one the spirit and "feeling" of which she could enter into with such complete abandon.

Harris And Van Star At Lafayette Theatre Harris And Van Star At Lafayette Theatre There are more real "stop-the-show" features in this week's offering at the Lafayette Theatre than in any of the wonderful musical comedy revues which have appeared in the popular Seventh Avenue Playhouse in many months. The hit of the show was little Joey Harris who appeared at Keith's Palace last week and who agement of the Lafayette and addw was promptly coralled by the maned to the show starring his famous Bud Harris and Sammy Vanderhurst (known on the stage as Sam Van. Little Joey has just turned sixteen. He is a handsome lad with the face of an Apollo, the voice of an angel, a smile that makes all who see him happy and a pair of dancing feet which already are offering competition to the best-known tap dancers on the stage. Little Joeybrought the house down at the Monday matinee. It is a treat to see him. Aside from Joey's performance, Harris and Van, who also appeared at Keith's Palace last week gave a performance which places them at the head of all colored comedians—side by side with Glenn and Jenkins. These entertainers are a combination not Glenn and Jenkins and Rector and Cooper. Van gave a little imitation of the dancing of Bill Robinson (Bojangles) which made the audience gasp and applaud. Ales Jackson's Plantation Orchestra also came in for their share of the honors. This famous of the West and are making their band has just returned from a tour first appearance in the East. The band has lost none of the pep and quality which made it famous while travelling with the late Florence Mills. Both in the "pit" and on the stage, they wove a garment of wonderful music over Leonard Harper's wonderful theatrical creation a fast moving mixture of more fun, music and dancing than has ever before been crowded into ninety minutes of entertainment. Mention should also be made of some of the other members of the cast: Shim Thompson, Billy McLaren, George Williams, Lucille Heganin (the Philadelphia songwriter) and James Gamp (famous Japanese Jugglers) and Laddie Lamont, Keith headlining daredevil and comedian.

WHITE Hallelujah Quartet At St. James It was a small audience that assembled at St. James Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening, May 24, to hear the Hallelujah Quartet sing a program that had many elements of interest. But the audience had to wait until past 9:30 before the gentlemen singers were ready to pervey their vocal wares. And it was the versatile and ubiquitous manager, James Brown, second bass, who was responsible for the delay, but no excuse was offered for the delinquency. It is only fair to say that the singers began to operate the audience forgot their grievances and enjoyed to the fullest extent the vocalulations of the four singers. There was a change in the personnel of the group, caused by the defection of Clement Hall, first tenor, who took an unannounced leave to join the cast of Lew Leafie's "Blackbirds." His place was capably filled by Penman Lovinggood, tenor, composer and critic, who is also the tenor soloist in St. Mark's M. F. Church choir. There was no formally arranged program, each number being announced by Mr. Brown. The quartet opened the entertainment with Will Marion Cook's "Swing along," followed by two Spirituals, "Good news" and "Live humble." Then William Lindsey, baritone, sang Handel's "Wherez ye walk." The other solos were given by Mr. Lovinggood, who sang "Sylvia" by Speaks, and his own arrangement of "Po mourner, got a home at last," and Miss Daisy Harding, soprano solos from Mt. Olivet Church choir, who sang "Where my caravan has rested" by Lohr, and "Until" by Sanderson. duet, "David and Goliath," was sung by Marion Jones, second tenor, and Mr. Brown and Mr. Jones sang an encore, "A Dream" by Bartlett. Other group offerings included "Sweet Kentucky Babe," "carve dat possum," "Way down sonder in the corn field," "Send one angel down," "Somebody's calling me," "Joshua fit de battle, of Jericho," "Deep River," "I like a song," "Callope imitation," "Green grass growing all around," "My Lord going to move," "Peter, go ring den bells" and "John Brown's body." \ strawberry festival was held in the downstairs room after the program MONARCH 45 BAND PLAYS ALL-NEGRO MUSIC AT LAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON RECITAL AT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL One of the most interesting and entertaining' programs heard during the current season was the one played on Sunday afternoon, May 27, at the Junior High School, 135 street and Edgecombe avenue, by the Monarch 45 Band, under direction of Lieut. Fred W. Simpson. This was the last of a series of four free Sunday recitals and Lieut. Simpson arranged an offering of all-Negro music for the afternoon. It has been said by some supposed to be well-informed musicians that there is not sufficient worthwhile material to be found in the musical creations of Negro composers to make up a well-balance program, but this fallacy was refuted Sunday by the band's offering. Some old favorites were revived, and there were several novel features that appealed strongly to the appreciative audience which filled the school auditorium to capacity. Frank Robinson, a member of of the band, gave two renditions, one a xylophone solo and the other a harmonica solo, and they were given with finished virtuosity. Another enjoyable feature was the singing of the Carl White Jubilee Quartet, composed of Wm. Elmore, first tenor; Carroll Clark, second tenor; Carl White, baritone, and Joe Green, basso. This group sang two Spirituals, "Go down, Moose," and "Wheel in a wheel," with line effect, and Carroll Clerk sang "On the roar to Mandalay" by Speaks, with Mr. Elmore at pian Mrs. Daisy Harding, now servicing as soprano soloist in Mt. Olivet Baptist Church choir, although complaining with a cold, displayed much artistry in singing a song by Peter Brown, "Beacause," and Rasmond Johnson's arrangement of Nobody knows the trouble I was with L. F. Dyer, Mt. Olivet's organ, at the piano. Dr. Lawrence J. Davenport was his usual ubiquitous self in serving as master of ceremonies. He introduced Alderman Fred R. Moore, treasurer for the summer concert fund, who made a strong appeal to the people for contributions to the band fund. The band played with its usual sport and vivacity under the influence of Leont. Simpson's baton, and there was an unusual quality of interpretation shown in the contrasts in moods of the various compositions. The outstanding offering from a musical standpoint, was the "Lay Petite Suits" a three movement composition by Samuel Coleridge Taylor, in which that composer characteristic method was skillfully employed. There is an erotic strain running through the composition, that reminds of that composer's setting of Coleridge "Kubla Khan", and the reed section of the band was particularly cool in emphasizing these attitudes. And, too, the percussion chord was a vital factor. The other numbers played by the band included the Clet Club March in the late James Reese Europe, the Deep River" by Harry T. Burbach, a march, "The Spirit of the U.N." by Alton A. Adams, Dale Negro bandmaster in the United States Navy, director of the naval band at St. Thomas, Virgin Island, two dances, "Strutters" by Shelton Brooks, and wrote by Ford Dabney; a march, "Mi-Tee Monarch," by Lieut. Simpson; a Samoan dance, "Maori," by the late William H. Tyers; a suite, "Bandana Sketches" by Clarence Cameron White; a Chant by Lorenzo D. Fyer, arranged for the band by Lieut. Simpson, and a Fantasia, "Way down upon the Swance River." In response to the strong appeal made by Alderman Moore for contributions to the summer concert fund, many pledges were signed and turned in by patrons and Mr Moore was handed $2 in cash by friends present. An invitation had been sent George Foster Peabody, philanthropist and distinguished patron of music, and to Miss Isabel Lowden, director of the New York Music Week Association. Neither was present, but both responded in words of encouragement. he said: "I am deeply in sympathy with all that is going on along the lines you suggest, and if I had resources like some of our friends, I should rejoice to help on and especially anything, that you are associated with, I hope that the people in our New York churches, white people I mean, who do not help in the great needs of the South, as regards your people, will be gotten at for these local needs." Miss Lowden sent a telegram of regret at not being able to be present. She wired: "The only reason I am not with you is that we are entertaining fifty children of the New Music Week Association. Please give your hand and all of your people my very warm greetings and tell them how much I would like to be present." The last acknowledgement of contributions showed a total of $213.75. Additional sums received during the past week have increased this total to $208.25. Those contributing are as follows: $10—George Foster Pedhody. $5—Sara J. Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Slocum. $3.50—Henry Griffith $3—Mr. and Mrs. William Bentley. $2—Ralph Kelly, Mr. and Mrs. Lonne Ferrell, M. Beatty, Mrs. J. G. Patrick, Edward W. Mackey, Mrs. Lucia Mitchell $1—Mrs. S. M.

Bethune-Cookman College Has Fine Music Programs Daytona, Fl.—The school term just ended at Bethune-Cookman College, yas marked by a number of musical events of importance.

WILSON LAMB RAYMOND CLAYMES Concert Oratorio Recital 233 WEST 138th STREET New York City By PERCIVAL OUTRAM You will recall that Hamilton, the sax player, was held up and robbed of money and sax a few weeks back, as related in this column. Knowing that Nepton, now playing ruba, had lodged his (Nepton's sax with "uncle" for safe keeping, Hamilton made arrangement with Nepton and took the sax out to repair it, and had possession o fit for some weeks. Nepton one day told Hamilton he wanted to lend the sax to a lady. Hamilton said O. K., but that he needed it at 4 p. m. to play a job. All right, said Nepton, but that was the last Hamilton saw of the sax, and he realized too late it was only a ruse on Nepton's part to recover the sax. Down to the Union went Hamilton. The case was disposed of on Tuesday, May 15, and Nepton was directed to pay Hamilton the pawnbroker's charge and the costs by May 29. Since the hearing of the case, Nepton claims to have discovered new evidence and says that Hamilton did not tell all the truth. Nepton is therefore trying to reopen the case and expects a reversal of the previous decision. Bamboo Inn, it is reported, has tendered Saparo and his orchestra, who have ben pleasing the patrons of the plece for a long time with his dance music, notice to leave. Rumor has it that Aubrey Neal and his orchestra, late of Atlantic City, will take his place. Saparo had eight men and Neal will take in ten. It is claimed that the ten men will receive less salary than the Saparo men, and that Neal's men are not in good standing with the Union. On the question of Union and steady jobs, we understand the local is going to be more stringent in the supervising of contracts, as it is believed that many orchestra leaders, especially in Harlem, are not receiving the minimum Union wage.

ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health-Association Beware of Cure-alls It would be easy to be healthy athletic and beautiful if the advertising slogans of patent medicines told the whole truth. Any number of concoctions are said to be able to cure nearly all lills. Other concoctions cure the rest. A number of widely advertised lotions, creams and tonics should make us all beautiful and charming, or very strong and powerful according to their advertisers. If you have ever tried any of these patent medicines you know from experience that manufacturers make far too great claims for them, the beautifiers do not make you honestly overnight any more than the medicines. It would be billed enough if these remedies did no more than fall short of the promises made by manufacturers. Far too often, they also do permanent injury to the person who takes them. For instance, there is a risk of being used as being able to reduce weight. Analyses made of the article, accorded to B. R. Rickards, Director of the Division of Public Health Education of the State Department, of Health, show that the product contains thyroid extract. This will reduce weight, but if it has a powerful and dangerous effect on the heart, it should not be taken unless it should only be taken under a doctor's orders and under very careful supervision. Avoid patient medicines, drugs and concoctions widely advertised as being able to perform miraculous cures. No drugs known to science can remedy all ills. If such a drug or medical profession would know about it, and prescribe it for their patients. Many lives might be saved. But years of scientific study and research have shown that the best cures are performed by helping nature repair her own defects. Rest, fresh air, sunlight and wholesome, nourishing food are important in caring many ills. They are excellent in helping us to keep well and to increase our resistance against disease. There are drugs which will cure certain diseases but no one drug will cure all kinds of ills. You will keep in good health by watching your daily habits. Then, go to your doctor each year for a check in on your health. You will be traveling a far safer road than the one marked with patient medicines. Favetteville, N. C. Favetteville, N. C—Rev. T. H.

Inhuman Act of a Political Agent It appears that some time back Mr. Russer, the political agent to the Government of India in Kathawar at Wadhawan, was passim, along the bazaar on horseback of a respectable family with his hunter stick without any reason. The child was sickly and since this incident has been adversely affected. A entonces meeting of the citizens of Wadhawan was summoned where a resolution was made to have him hirendhled, hirendhled, hirendhled, and hirendhled, and to have him act of the political agent, and called upon him to tender his apology. But the officer, who is so mournous for somber acts of his in the past, has far fay done nothing to express his regret. It is disgraceful on the part of the government to continue keeping such men in the civil service of India, knowing fully wel that they are unfit to govern peacefully. It is possible that this highlandedness was due to His Majesty's Government of India's policy of keeping law and order, and the service must be dismissed but its a pity that we have a foreign government in India!

T. Latimer, assistant secretary of the Division of Missions for Colored People of the Board of National Missions, and appears in the May number, of ‘The Advocate and Family Guardian, a monthly magazie published by the American Guardian Society And Home for “The Frendless at 936 Woody Grest avenue, New York City. The article, which was sent to us by a friend, we are republishing in this column, for, to ofr mind, it is one of the most simple, realidtic and touching tributes-to the Pullman porter that we have ever. been privi- leged 19 read; in fact, to us, its value lies*in its simplicity, ‘The writer doesn't attempt to make the porter an industrial hero, nor does she try to depict him as a working slave! She merely describes him as he is and the part he plays to the traveliys public. One article of this type wil do more towards gaining the respect, good will and sympathy ai those whom the porter Serves than all the other forms of ballyhoo- ing which may be voiced in his behalf, put together, But read the arncle for yourself: “WHO ARE THE PULLMAN PORTERS?” a By Mre W. T. LARIMER li this question had been asked one hundred years ago, no one = would hate ech able to answer, but now scarcely a train is taken for ~ aiy distance that some one does not say, perhap not, "Who is the Pull- inan porter?” but “Where is the porter?" a Who are they? A fine stecl train, prodtict of years of study, ex- periment and labor, conveys us from our home in one city to our des- timation m another, It is headed by an almost human etrgine, “its fheart panting for the fray,” and made up of baggage car, diner and Pullmans, all manned by trusted inen from fromtt to rear, and last but not least, the Pullman porter, that man of all work, busy, getting people of evéry type and disposition in the right car, in the right seat, and ther baggage locate and placed most conveniently. ~ Who is the Pullman porter? A man necessary to aye comfort and safety m the Pullman and who musfyossess rare qualities of strength, courage, patience, courtesy and Hdmior, for he must be the “shock absorber" for the entire carload of passengers. : Few posses these traits in higher degree than the Negro, and no better service is being given anywhere than by the more than 12,000 Negro Pullnian posters on our railroad trams in the United States to- day, ‘The Negro has received these gifts irom an ancestry that has given service for long years and has not always received just reward for it, We little realize what fine characters serve us and, stand be- tween ns and danger many times. 6... i I have seen many interesting things in my travels and some on trains Durmg war times there happened one thing im a diner that 1 shall never forget. A man at table desired more sugar than was al- lowed. ‘The waiter said: “I should be glad to give at but we are under government orders and 1 can't.” ‘The large man arose to strike him. Filled with indignation, I arose and stepped between them and look- _ ing into the fage of the white man said, “Are you yomg to strike our brother nm black for obeying orders?” He sat down, _ On my way to tlie Pacific Coast 1 way interested 1m two beauti- fut children whose mother had died and whose father was in 2 city far to The west, in the care. of thggporter on their sad journcy. I was impressed to" hear those children say to him at bedtime exch night their little prayer, "Now I lay me’. ‘They were safe with such’a man, Pullman porters have dreams for-their children. A man long a porter moved with his wife and several children from the south to give them better schcool advantages, All have done well, but one 13 neaing the goat af his father's ambition. He has been noted* for his athletics and activiues in all the schools he has attended. He won the McGhee Trophy for brillianey in athletics and was clected captain ‘of the 1920 football, team in lus high school, and was awarded a scholar- ship in New York University He spent three years there and was secretary of the student body and, starred in both baseball and foot- ball teams He graduated from Colby, Main, with a B.S. degree, which made hum eligible to enter medical school.

Can you find a tore useful and faithful 12,000 than these Negro workers who are giv ang such loyal- service for comfort and safety im travel? Oi course it ic also a wonderful traimng for the young Negro to travel and meet the people on Pullman trams, and many of our buys im school could not nish their education if xt were not for their summer Pulknan ser~ Mice. Pullman porters have their” “benefit assoeiations” and theie “safety meetings” in almost every city, and are a noble body of nen studying safety for the Jraveling public and for the uplift of their race, ‘They have rigid examinations by the Pnitman company for there ft- hess for the work, their character beng scanned for ai least five sears, and someunes more. Uhope the day comes when théy will be paid a lining wage as oth- “ers, without the enibarrassment of the "tip", But ay { study it fam nut so sure but that certain of the travelers are responsible for it, as they hope to Ket just a wee bit more than their share of help and at- sention thereby. * . “Service is the rent we pay fur the, space we occupy on this earth.” ‘Are we giving as faithful service as our brother on the Pullman car?

Appetite is a desire for food. We may be hungry and still not have a desire .for food. That is we may have the sensa- jtions of weakness xemptiness, pao and .nauisea and still not have an appetite for food. Such is the case for example with people who have gastric ulcer or cancer Jof the stomach. Or again we may have a ravenous appetite that is a desire for the satisfactions that the sight, taste and smell of food give, as well’as for the sensation ° of fullness and still not be hungry. Such is the case of the glutton. We might say that hunger is physiological “and appetite is pry- chological. Appettite carries with it the force of habit and memory. We want to eat this or that be- cause we remember previous pleas- ant satisfactions, or expect new ones. Appetite varies widely with different people or, for that mat- ter, 1m the same individual at dit- ferem times: The savage may “lick his chops" over an expected meal of lizards or ants. «The Lap- landers rave over the blubber (fat) of seals or whales .The Bostonian dors not {éel satisfied on Saturday nights if Ke has nor had brown- bread and pork and beans.

Sweets and starches diminish the appetite not because they stay in the stomach long bur probably because in some way they flood the body fluids and are thus readily available as en- etgy producers. Meat-Jike, foods stimulate the appetite targely be- cause of their taste and xmell and our meat-eating habits.. Also. their tendency to incraese the flow of stomach juice may aid.

VIRGIN ISLANDS CONDITIONS ARE MORE FAVORABLE The raising of vegetables for the Ricaan Rican market, and shipping of exports to New York before southern products are on the market, are assuming important proportions in the Virgin Islands, according to the Ricaan Rican York Age by J. H. Hammlett Leader, postmaster at Frederickst, St Croix, Virgin Islands, who is now in the States on a two month's vacation trip. He will return home after the vacation trip. Mr. Leader has visited Washington, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Dayton and Columbus, O., and Richmond, Ind. Discussing industrial matters in the islands, Mr. Leader says that conditions are improving in the islands are developing a cattle market between the islands and Porto' Rico, and are paying serious attention to expanding farm possibilities. Two years' ago the growing of Bermuda may begin and within the past year they began the cultivation of pineapples. The building of several, reservoirs at different points in the islands, the drilling of wells in rural sections, have made possible the irrigating of water, have been barren, making them able for cultivation. These watering places have been of vital benefit to the cattle raisers and farmers. Bus Lines Established An important industrial proposition is the operation of the Virgin Islands, for the production of gaged in the manufacture of denatured alcohol for industrial purposes under supervision of the government. The manufacture of bay rum is an important activity at St. Thomas A bus line has been established between St. Croix Island For the first time since Mr. Mer. the islands will be represented by delegates to the two national political conventions in the States, but no definite selection had been made to a recent date. Under reports that Dr. Loring B. Parson is a government health officer of St. John's, is doing fine work. While in New York, Mr. Leader is stopping with Walter Carlise, 402-758 avenue; in Washington he is guest of Jefferson S. Coage; Mr. Murray Carlise, 1624 Fitzwater street, were his hosts in Philadelphia, and two weeks were spent in Richmond, Ind. with Judge Cornelus R. Richardson. A concerted effort is now being made to travel to the islands, the slogan, "Comme sur Argent Islands for Rest, and Recreation," being given wide publicity.
