--- Ending Of Republican Convention Discloses Similar Fate For Both Black and White Anti-Hooverites Negro Press Correspondents Not Allowed At Convention Press Table, But Nordic Aspirations Were Likewise Restricted (Staff Correspondence of The Age.) St. Louis, (en route home from Kansas City, Mo.)—The Republican National Convention of 1928 ends. There were many features, good and bad. The redeeming feature was demonstration of the fact that, if ever it was, it no longer is possible to make a group of one race. Matters not who got the nomination, what delegates got seated and which got the air, reasonably there is rejoicing and dejection on both sides of the line of racial demarcation.

Man nomination, what delegates got the air, reasonably there is tion on both sides of the line Such distinguished U. S. Africas Melvin Chisum, Albon L. Holsey, Claude Barnett, along with a couple of small-timers were chased from the white folks' press table in Confession Hall. But the war governor of Illinois, the Hon. Frank O. Lowden, was chased from the Presidential nomination which he had sought for eight years. The Africa notables are just at the plenitude of their power, however, and will come again. Georgia and Florida. Hen, Ben Jeff Davis seems to be besiever Republican National committeeman for Georgia. The axe, however, descended clean through the political white, neck of one Bean, Florida's National Committeeman for the last sixteen long years. Umpire Joe Watson just about "watted" Ben Davis while Glenn Skipper, white, skipped all over Bean's bean. From the gantle company that came Vice President Dawes' assignment to political oblivion, also came the ether cone for Walter Cohen, the pictureque ex- leader of Louisiana Republicans, only Negro Federal office holder in all of the South. A big African Republican remained at home west of the Alleghenies for a summons to Kansas City that never came—which seemed to be the fate of Speaker Nick Longworth, loafing at home in Cincinnati. The Negro was made a joker in the platform of the party; the platform is supposed to be a mélange of platitudinous jokers. But biggest joke of all—aside from the "Booker-looker" Senator Borah—was Senator Goff of West Virginia, taking himself seriously as a contender for the nomination as President, who never got near either PLATFORM or platform. Race Lines Were Smashed In the National Committee decisions on delegate contests, race lines were smashed. The committee threw out the contesting lily-whites from Mississippi and seated the lilies from Louisiana; and it cannot be argued that only Hooverites were seated, for the "Mississippi lilies" were all white, 21 and Hoover. Not even in the matter of disbursing the kale was there the least obviousness of race. For if Creager got $7,000 to carry on for Hoover in Texas, and Perle Howard only received $4,000 for the same purpose in Mississippi, Skipper got but $3,500, all told for Florida Hoover usage. If Ben Davis' limit was $2,000 to put over Hoover in Georgia, Street, Alabama's National Crimitteeman's dole was $1,000 or $1,500. The greatest poser of the assembly was Senator Borah, who likes to delude himself with the idea that he is a great, constitutional lawyer; and his eloquent approval of Coolidge's veto of the McNary Haugen Farm Bill on Attorney General Garsal's opinion gave him his opportunity to measure the unconstitutional. But the man nearest to the sky, without posing or stretching, was the able and affable generalissimo of the Associated Negro Press, the 6-feet, four-inch Claude Barnett The convention heartily received young Senator LaFollette while making his plea for the minority report on farm relief planks, and completely forgot him afterwards, but Perry Howard didn't make a speech he got all he wanted from the National Committee, and, presently, sole Negro National Committee, Negro National Committee, crowd, like Ben Davis, also fell down on its National committee choice. Comparisons In Gouritey. The delegates were almost discontentous during the address of ex-Gos. Osborn of Michigan, and were when he finished—only to accord direct attention to John R. Hawkay during the meeting of his speech, sending the nomination to Mr. Hower, which they cheered at the conclusion. The New York Age Vate of Pennsylvania was 'the smartest practical politician on hand, and Dr. Hawkins delivered the most nearly oratorical address. Senator Moses was an effective presiding officer in the role of permanent chairman; but revealed bad tactical judgment in his address to the country upon relieving Senator Fess, temporary chairman, and keynoter, of the gavel. To accuse the Democratic party of nullifying the 14th and 15th Amendments, which, the mouth Borah, Republican, has declared within constitutional limits, on the floor of the U. S. Senate, and which nullification has been only possible through Republican, acquiescence—even until this day, was on a parity with Senator Moses' accusation of Tammany Hall's aggrifting "over 20 million dollars in a single city" when the children of now still recall the scandals of the Harding regime. The "Bloody Grave Remark." It was remarked that Senator Moses' welcome to a "bloody grave" for the Democrats was first uttered by one Tom Corwin of Texas, when opposing the U. S. War on Mexico back in the 1840's Corwin is quoted as having said that if he were a Mexican he would welcome the American invaders to "a bloody grave." Additionally, it cannot be forgotten that the justification of disfranchisement attempted last winter on the floor of the Senate by Swanson of Virginia brought only silence from Senator Moses' side of the Chamber. It was William Cabell Bruce, Democrat, Maryland, who alone had the temerity to tackle Swanson! But the convention of 28 has passed into the annals of all time. Out of it emerges a punk platform and excellent candidates; which are much preferable to an excellent platform and punk candidates. Borah's conspicuity in helping to make the platform guaranteed its "punkness," which would be true of the candidate for President, if the lightning had struck Borah. Killer of Chicago Lawyer Arrested; Identified By Two Chicago, Ill.—Making the first definite move to bring to justice those charged with responsibility for the bombings, slugging, kidnappings and murders that marked the primary election on April 10, the law is closing in on twelve men. Five of the twelve men have been arrested and one of the five, Johnny Armando, was identified by two men as the man who fired several shots at the automobile in which Octavius C. Granady, Negro lawyer, was killed in the 20th Ward on election day, according to police. The murder of Granady is being investigated. He was a follower of U. S. Senator Charles S. Deneen and was a candidate for ward committeeman. Spingarn Medal Goes To Chas. W. Chestnut At a meeting of the committee to determine the winner of the Spingarn Medal, held here last week, it was decided that the award this year would go to Charles W. Chestnut of Cleveland. This medal is given each year by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Chestnut is of the older school of Negro authors, having written a number of books that are still being read with avidity. A contemplated feature of the annual session of the National Negro Business League which is to be held in New York City August 15, 16 and 17, will be exhibits by Harlem's colored business men and women, Grocers, bakers, milliners druggists and others, feel that the public should know more about the community's varied race activities. The United States Domestic Commerce Division will send an exhibit to the convention, it has been announced by J. A. Jackson, special agent of that division. All charts and matter submitted will deal with retail merchandising, which is to be one of the chief topics discussed. Members of the local branch of the National Negro Business League are cooperating to make the August meeting a big success and truly representative of New York. The Division will be held in Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor, and Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor. Prominent business authorities will speak at the night sessions. Round-table discussions will be held during the convention week. Indications present to the presence of a large number of delegates and visitors in Harlem during convention week. Fred R. Moore; president of the local League, is receiving communications from all sections of the country making inquiry about housing accommodations. Harlem ice men have been organized by the local Business League into a cooperative Association, to protect their interests, and efforts are being put forth to make local barber shops, beauty parlors etc., with white coats, aprons, towels and other needed articles. COOPERATION IS VITAL NEED FOR RACE: DR. MOTON Tells Summer School, It Is Highest Duty To Meet Challenge Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—"The problem which the Negro faces today is, not one of education nor of religion—in these fields policies have been developed—but rather of cooperation, of combining for the most effective performance all those forces working with and among Negroes for the highest development of the race." Dr. Robert R. Motton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, told students of the summer school in an address here Friday. "It is our highest duty to meet the challenge of cooperation in business, in politics, in all fields of advancement. We owe it to our children to secure for them every opportunity enjoyed by other Americans; and only through cooperation can we achieve this end." Dr. Motton welcomed the nearly 700 teacher-students attending the summer school and noted the increased quality of their scholarship. Enrollment this year represents an increase of 150 over last year. Three-fourths of the students are taking courses of college rank. Others who have addressed the summer school assembles this week are E. C. Roberts, director of the summer school; R. R. Taylor, viceprincipal, W. T. B. Williams, dean of the college; Stanley A. Harris of the Boy Scout movement; Charles W. Hare, trustee of the institute and others. Musical numbers were rendered by the institute quartet. Elks' Property Cost $115,000, Not $83,000 In telling of plans for the proposed Monarch Elks apartments and, home, in The Age last week it was stated that land for the buildings was secured for $38,000. These figures were incorrect and should have been $115,000, according to the present exalted ruler, of this lodge, James Veal. Salvation Army Fund An additional contribution of $15 has been received for the Salvation Army expansion fund from William If Worlham, president Philip A. Pavton Jr. Co. NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1928 Children of Lower Assembly, P. S. 68, Miss Gertru de M. Healey, Principal, as they appeared in a program observing Flag Day on June 14. 19-Year Old Girl Comes From Antigua To Take Nurse Training In New York, But Is Barred By Hospital Official Although she had received notification that her application for admission to a course of nurse training at the Babies Hospital, 135 East 55th street, at Fifth avenue, had been accepted, and had travelled all the way from Antigua, Leeward Islands, British West Indies, on the strength of that acceptance, Dorothy Marie Rannie, 19 years old; was refused admission to that hospital when she arrived in the United States on Tuesday, June 12. Mary Agnes Smith, superintendent, told The Age over the phone that Miss Rennie was not received because the entire hospital personnel is white, and that it is impossible to place a colored worker on the staff—that there is Wednesday, when Miss Landfear nowhere for such a person to stay, took the girl for a ride, that the Disclaimed Responsibility. The superintendent, declared she had no idea that Miss Rennie was other than white, and sought to put the blame on the young girl for failing to so specify in her application. When asked if the hospital did not feel that some responsibility attached to the institution since Miss Rennie had traveled from her far West Indian home to New York on the strength of the notification received from the hospital, the superintendent curtly replied that the hospital had no funds for such purpose, and that the girl should get in touch with the British Consul who would probably arrange for her transportation back home. The hospital official further declared that a social worker, Miss Landearf, of Grace Chapel, 415 East 13th street, was looking after the girl's welfare, but it had been told to The Age that this social worker had not seen or heard from by Miss Rennie for some five days. When asked for name of the hospital president, Superintendent Smith abruptly slammed the telephone receiver, on the hook, cutting off further talk. Told To Come June. 6. Miss Rennie, talking to The Age said that she applied early in April for admission to the Bahies Hospital, and under date of April 29 received a formal notification that her application was accepted. In a supplemental note of same date, Superintendent Smith wrote that a vacancy would occur June 6, and instructed her as to the time of arrival, saying: "Any day the first week in June will be convenient for us. I say this time as I do not know about sallings." Reaching New York on June 12 Miss Rennie was taken in charge by the social worker from Grace Chapel, Miss Landfear, who was on duty at the pier, and taken to the hospital. Superintendent Smith was out at the time, as was the matron, and the girl waited. Finally, the matron came in and, the social worker presented Miss Rennie. The matron promptly got in touch with the superintendent, who came to the office and held a private conference with the matron and Miss Landfear. Miss Rennie, without knowing the nature of the conversation, was then taken by Miss Landfear to the White Rose Home for Working Girls at 262 West 136th street, to stay for the night. And still the girl did not know why she was sent away from the Babies Hospital. Barred Because of Color. It was not until the next day, Wednesday, when Miss Landlear took the girl for a ride, that the social worker said, in answer to the girl's questioning, that the hospital had barred her because of her color. Astounded, the young girl did not know what to say or do. She had spent practically all of her money coming to New York, and because of the positive terms of her notification, had made no preparation for such an eventuality. The social worker then drove to the home of Assistant Corporation Counsel James S. Watson, 117 East 120th street, and laid the case before Mrs. Watson. Being unable to care for the girl herself, Mrs. Watson called Dr. C. A. Petiion of 114 West 131st street, chairman of the West Indian Committee, who instructed Miss Landlear to bring the girl to his home. There she is being taken care of and in the meantime, Dr. Petiion has called on Alderman Fred R. Moore for assistance in placing Miss Rannie in some other institution for the training she desires. Mother A French-Canadian Miss Rannie is the daughter of William Boyer Rannie of Antigua, and his wife, who was Jean Marie Thibou, a French-Canadian, and she was born in Douglaston, Province of Saskatchewan, Canada, where her father was living in 1909. The family later returned to Antigua, where Mr. Rannie had some property holdings. Dorothy Marie bears certificates from the Girl's High School, Antigua, signed by the principal, showing that she had attended that school from January, 1921, to April, 1928, attaining high averages in her studies and an exceptional record for general conduct. m The matter of her rejection by Superintendent Smith of the Babies Hospital is being given consideration, with a view to a proper adjustment, either legally or otherwise. Monarch 45 Band Fund Since the last acknowledgement of contributions to the fund being raised to help in providing free park concerts, for Harlem folks during the summer, by the Monarch 45 Band, under Leont Fred W.

GIRL FROM WEST INDIES IS SAVED BEING SENT BACK 95c Theft Used By Immigration Office As Reason For Deportation Boston, Mass.—Because she had pleaded guilty to taking 95 cents from a woman "who was looking at me," Phyllis Edmeade, who came to this country in 1924 from the West Indies, and was given a jail sentence of one year, the immigration inspectors caused a deportation warrant to be issued on the ground of "moral turpitude." The Department of Labor had issued the passport and arrangement were made for a sailing date. The Board of Appeals made much of the story. While that the immigration station in East Boston, Miss Edmeade was mistreated by one of the matrons, who called her vile names, and upon this matron's complaint the girl was sent to the Suffolk County jail by the immigration authorities. In the meantime, colored citizens had become interested in the case, and Attorney John T. Lane, a young Negro lawyer, of the law office of Julian D. Rainey, started habeas corpus proceedings. When the case was heard before Judge James M. Morton in the United States District Court, the girl was released on her own recognizance pending a possible appeal by Attorney for the government. Judge Morton, in this opinion, said: "I am not prepared to agree that a boy who steals an apple from an orchard is guilty of inherently base, vile or depraved conduct. Where the larceny is petty the circumstances should be imitated the crime for which she was convicted does not seem to prove 'moral turpitude.'" Attorney Lane has referred the matter of her mistreatment by the immigration matron to the Department of Labor at Washington. K. O.'d By Tree Lumberton, N.

Justice Lewis A. Abrams Of Seventh District Municipal Court, Charged With Flagrant Discourtesy On Bene Lawyers and clients who have occasion to appear before the Seventh District Municipal Court, 320 West 125th street, when Justice Lewis A. Abrams is presiding, are getting in the habit of preparing for a strenuous and uppleasant experience, unless, it is alleged, the lawyer happens to be personally agreeable to the Justice. Many instances have been reported in which Justice Abrams has visited the storm of his wrath upon the head of the doctress awe plaintif and defensive in his court, with an alleged disregard of all the amenities. The pleasant courtesy that usually marks the contact between judge and lawyer, the sympathetic consideration which is ordinarily supposed to be due the citizen appearing before the bar, are said to exist in rare cases when Justice Abrams is on the bench. ate them before the open court by uncalled for excoriations and undeserved insults. Last week, while an Age reporter happened to be in the court room, a lawyer, protesting what he claimed was an unfair ruling, was told by Justice Abrams that he was "acting like a cheap bum!" The lawyer, licensed at the epithet, was ordered removed from the room by the poissant Justice. And The Age has been handed Humiliated Lawyers The Age has been told by a number of the Harlem lawyers that Justice Abrams has, oh numerous occasions, sought to humili- JUGOSLAVIAN GIRL WANTS HANDSOME COLORED HUSBAND Must Be Distinguished, Good, Able To Give Wife Hearty Life From Zagrel, Jugoslavia, there comes a naive and plaintive plea that should stir the cockles of some good man's heart—provided that mar is black, distinguished, handsome and well off! Such a man is being looked for by a "Charming, Young European Lady (White)", who wishes to take such a man unto herself as husband, with the understanding that he is "to offer a hearty and careless life to her." As it is evident, from the young lady's letter, that she is not altogether familiar with the intricacies of the English language, the reader must not interpret her phrases in the exact meaning which ordinarily would be applied to her words. Of course there is no question as to what she means when she says "he must be distinguish, handsome and good," but charity impels to the thought that it is not so much a "hearty and careless life" that she is seeking, as it is one that is well provided for and free from care. The young lady, Miss Thea Kohn, whose address is given as liaceo 40, Zagrel, Jugoslavia, writing under date of June 7, addresses her letter to the "Administration of The New York Age," and says: "I have been recommended to your paper that it is as well known as correct,—therefore I apply to you. I wish my advertisement come into your paper, if it is possible, with Heavy Type on a visible place. I rely upon you in that matter, in order to have success. Be kind and send me the newspaper of the date when my advertisement will be into it." According to the young lady's request, the advertisement is appearing in a conspicuous location, and The Age hopes her search will not be in vain. But would be responders are reminded that she stipulates that "Only serious letters will be considered." J. R. Hawkins Seconded Hoover's Nomination Kansas City. Mo—In an effective address John R. Hawkins, delegate from the District of Columbia, and financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, seconded the nomination of Herbert Hoover to be President of the United States. Stressing the fundamental principles of the constitution of the United States, as well as calling attention to the duties and responsibilities of President of the country, Mr. Hawkins said that he felt Herbert Hoover was eminently fitted to measure up to that great task. Mr. Hawkins served as a member of the credentials committee. ate them before the open court by uncalled for excoriations and undeserved insults. Last week, while an Age reporter happened to be in the court room, a lawyer, protesting what he claimed was an unfair ruling, was told by Justice Abrams that he was "acting like a cheap bum!" The lawyer, licensed at the epithet, was ordered removed from the room by the puissant Justice. And The Age has been handed a sworn affidavit, made by a respectable woman of good repute, who was called into court on a precept of non-payment of rent and who offered an answer declaring that the rent had not been demanded, and that said rent was granted on condition that "the landlord would make necessary repairs and put the apartment in a sanitary condition," in which affidavit she avers that she was treated with the utmost contumely. Justice Abrams, who not abused her in the coarsest manner but threatened personally to throw her out of the court room. In the affidavit, this woman, who bears a fine reputation, and is of high sainting in the community, avers that when the landlord's lawyer, in his attempt to justify the court action, charged her with being a trouble maker and undesirable tenant, the Justice "in a loud, boisterous and cruel manner, pointing his finger and shaking his hand at deponent," shouted, "Yes, and she looks it." Exonerated by Court. Continuing his 'tirade, Justice Abrams, in an apparently uncontrollable rage, is reported to have said: "A woman like you ought to be in prison, inciting the tenants to riot, making trouble for the landlord. You are a bad woman and the landlord ought t ouse you." Later, according to the affidavit, while the court room was quiet, Justice Abrams had to have called out: "Is that woman still in this court room. Is that thing still here? Where is she? Come up here. Who are you anyway? You don't mean anything in my life. You are a criminal and outfit to be in prison. I don't want ever to see you in this court room again. You are an objectionable character to your neighborhood." Need Not Expect Justice. And then, to cap the climax of his furious outbreak, the Justice is quoted as declaring: "You need never come here expecting justice. A woman like you will never get it. "Get out of this court room at once before I throw you out, charging around here. If you ever come here again I will personally prosecute you myself. You are no good and never let me catch you here again." It is charged in the affidavit that this treatment at hands of Justice Abrams has not only caused sickness and great humiliation, with hoddy pain and mental anguish, but has caused loss of friends and standing in society. Alderman Moore Writes Mayor. $ ^{*} $ The matter has been placed before Alderman Fred R. Moore, who has submitted the sworn affidavits to Mayor James J. Walker and President-Justice Timothy A. Leary of the Board of Justices, with a request that a thorough investigation be made of the alleged attitude of Justice Abrams towards lawyers and clients in his court. In his letter to President-Justice Leary, Alderman Moore wrote: "It would seem that a Judge having to do with the 125th Street Court, or any other Court, should recognize that people, irrespective of creed or color, rich or poor, are entitled to courteous treatment." Mayor Walker was asked to "have a thorough investigation made of this and Judge Abrams brought to account and asked to explain his attitude toward the people of the 125th Street Court. This is the poor people's court, and they go there seeking justice, and they seemingly get nothing but insults from Justice Abrama." 6th Annual Session, New York A. M. E.

The section of the address referring to the Commission was as follows: "As illustrating the possibility of constructive effort in the correction of race prejudice, we would call attention to the remarkable work done by the Commission to organize the field of unusually delicate relationships and perplexing problems. It is one of the movements which has called constantly for self-restraint, and that faith which inspires broad-minded endeavor. We would formally acknowledge our purpose to give ourselves to the promotion of this work, and we should not only encourage the Commission to continue effort in its particular field, but also should accept its accomplishment as suggestive of what may be done and right to be done in interim racial groups together. The General Conference has it in its power, by the promotion of such agencies, to strengthen in a significant measure the bonds of interracial goodwill." The church, Children from the Orphamage sang several numbers Bishop R. C. Transm congratulated the conference on having the leadership of Bishop Jones.

Atlanta Ga.—Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, announced at the close of the commencement exercises, June 5, that the General Education board of New York City has offered to the college the sum of $300,000 an endowment fund. The offer is a conditional one, and depends upon the raising of an equal amount by the institution within a time limit of three years. The total sum is to form an endowment for the support of the faculty. During its, sixty-one years, the college has grown, Morehouse College has led for its training in leadership character, made possible by an unusually strong—though comparatively small—Christian faculty. Under the guidance of such teachers, the college has sent out graduates who are leaders in the religious, educational, and social life of the Negro. Today the presidents of Morehouse College are graduates of Morehouse College. Four of these head land-grant colleges, state-supported institutions. It was perhaps a coincidence—but a significant one—that one of the commencement speakers should choose for his subject, "Negro In Education." President Hope, who did not intend to its announcement of the General Education Board's offer, emphasized the need of greater Negro support for our institutions of learning. The General Education Board manifested its generous offer,手册, through its Negro hope for Morehouse College as an influence in the life of the Negro youth and the Negro race. The commencement exercises marked the sixty-first anniversary of Dr. Hope's graduation and anniversary of Dr. Hope's connection with the college. The college department now has an enrollment of 411, but the institution still has the atmosphere of a progressive, small Christian college, the only one of its kind devoted solely to the education of Negro boys and men. Plans will be made immediately for a campaign to raise the $300,000. The Alumni Association, under President·P. M. Davis, pledged itself to raise $100,000 among the colored people of the The present endowment is $300,000, and it is the trope of President Hope that the campaign and gift will raise the endowment to $1,000,000. The college has on its board of trustees such prominent and quite likely men, Mr. Carter Helm Jones, chairman; Dr. E. R. Carter, of Georgia, secretary; Dr. Frederick Lent of New York, president of Elmire College; F. S. Etheridge, of Georgia; the Rev. James B. Adams of New York, president of Ohio; B. Hale of New York; Dr. James M. Nabrit of Georgia; Louie Newton of Georgia.

Johnson, editor of Opportunity, and director of social research of the National Academy of Sciences, his commencement address to the seventy candidates for degrees and diplomas at the Virginia Union University. The school auditorium in Coburn Hall was, much too small for the large crowd which overflowed into the anterooms and corridors to witness the exercises of this progressive institution.

C.-Mrs. Johnson C. Smith of Pittsburgh, Pa., whose liberal gifts to Biddle University caused the trustees to rename the school as a tribute to the memory of her deceased husband (Johnson Biddle University), has given the institution a new building, the Hartley Bary Woods gymnasium, and a $125,000 "University Church. The gymnasium was dedicated on Monday, June 4, was also the site for the new chapel. These functions 'occurred' during the sixteenth annual commencement with the Rev. Dr. H. L. McCrorey president of the school presiding. The baccalaureate services were held Sunday June 6 at 3.30 p.m. with the Rev. Dr. Wm. L. McKewan of Pittsburgh preaching 'the sermon.

TALLADEGA GETS A HALF MILLION ENDOWMENT OFFER General Education Board Gift Depends on Raising of Equal Amount TALLADEGA GETS A HALF MILLION ENDOWMENT OFFER General Education Board Gift Depends on Raising of Equal Amount Talladega, Ala.—The great feature of the commencement at Talladega College this year was the announcement by President Summer that the General Education Board had offered Talladega $50,000; for comment, on condition that Talladega be an equal amount within in the next five years. The prospect of a $1,000,000, endowment created much enthusiasm among the alumni. The endorsement of the Board was important too. Not only did the General Education Board offer money for endowment but it also assisted the college year in year, one of philosophy and one of public speaking and dramatic art, and also teachers in other departments. Another feature of commencement this year was the use of Fanning Refectory for the first time for the alumni banquet. Fanning Hall was the first building to be six hundred. The $75,000 dining hall will meet the needs of the college for many years to come. After the commencement address by Rev. W. John A. Hawley of the Ambassador Massa, he left for home with new faith in the future of Talladega.

Council Trenholm presented the speaker. Washington, D. C.—The trustees of the National Training School for the annual meeting at the Training School Tuesday, June 5. It was the most harmonious meeting ever held by the board and was attended by members from all sections of the school. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the institution, presented her annual report which showed marvelous progress and she called upon the board of trustees to assist in the preparation of $100000 to complete the Trades Hall and build a dining hall and chapel. The board voted to get solidly behind a nation-wide drive and raise the faculty to be enlarged by the appointment of four new teachers from the best colleges in the country. The Trades Hall is nearing completion and is to be joined by the training school of school. An up-to-date science department will be installed. The trustees received the president's report of the co-operation and general support of the public during the year, with great enthusiasm. The president applauded the fact that States attended the Trades Hall benefit by the famous Hampton Choir. They also sent resolutions of thanks to President Gregg of Hampton, Dr. Jason Noble Pierce, pastor of the First Congregational University, D. C. President Mordendon W. Johnson Howard University, and other friends who contributed to the effort to raise funds for the institution. They appointed a special committee on the drive for funds, with Watt Terry of New York and Brockton, Mass., as director, Prof. William H. C. Chairman, and Dr. A. Clayton Powell of New York, in charge of publicity. The trustees pledged themselves to give ten days each to putting the cause of the Training School before the people of their respective States to carry out the program of enlargement several of them assumed responsibility for the salary at at least one teacher, and the equipment of the new building. They succeeded in their determination to stand behind Miss Burroughs in a resolution which declared that: "We reaffirm our absolute confidence in the ability, character, and abilities of the National Training School for women and girls, and we uselessly and whollyheartedly pledge her our continued support of the principles, set forth in her Annual Report."

SMITH Summer Skin Conditions Most mothers are unfamiliar with the importance of their baby's skin. It serves as a protection for the underlying structures. In it are sweat-glands functioned for the removal of waste. In it are sebaceous glands which give out a material with which the skin is lubricated and thus kept soft and pliable. In it are nerve endings by which is appreciated heat, cold pain and the skin's surface. In the skin come the fine network of blood-capillaries which by exposing it, as it were, a large surface of Dr. Alonzo deG. Smith Weds Miss Marie Wright Memphis, Tenn.—A wedding of special interest to people in Memphis, New York, and 'New Haven, was impressively sollenamed at the Monday evening, May 18, the thirty-seventh wedding anniversary of the bride's parents, at 6:30 p. m., when Miss Marie Antiele Wright, a former social worker at the New Haven, Corn, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Wright of Memphis, Tenn., was united in marriage to Dr. Alonzo De G. S. Wright, the double ring ceremony was said by the Rex, Charles T.

The bride wore for her wedding a dress of flesh georgette of bouffant style, trimmed with chantilly lace and painted in paste shades. A rainbow ribbon sash was caught on one side in a large hose. She wore a long necklace of felt, and silver slippers. The bridal bouquet was of butterfly roses hiles of the valley and sweet peas. Her two attendants, Miss Annete Church, cousin of the bride and maid of honor wore a green cliffion creme and a large white picture hat; Miss Isabelle Greenlee, the bride's most intimate friend and bridesmaid wore a dress of sunburst georgette and taffetta with white kid slippers and a large white picture hat. Each of the attendants wore a pair of pea and maiden hair fern, Dr. Vernon A. Ayer, a well known physician in New York City, served as best man to the groom. Immediately after the ceremony the couple left for Washington, D.C. to spend few days, Mr. and Mrs. William Swart Nelson, Mrs. Nelson is a sister to the bride. For her travelling outfit the bride wore a taupe silk ensemble, with a Kashmir cloth coat, trimmed with butter mule fur and a tan felt hat and shoes to match. The couple will reside in New York there. Dr. Smith is a well-known specialist in infants' diseases. Although there were no invitations issued for the wedding the bride and groom received a number of handsome and valuable gifts, bride and groom were entertained at the home of Mrs. and Mrs. R. R. Church by Miss Annette Church, cousin of the bride, on Friday night with a bridge party, after which dancing was enjoyed until a late hour. A delightful repast was served.

Now we wish to speak of some diseases of the skin in summer. PRICKLY HEAT-This is sometimes a very distressing condition. Burning and itching make the child restless and irritable. It may be recognized by the general redness of the skin plus multiple red pumps. Now, although this condition is aggravated by too much clothing, it may obtain in spite of few clothing, as it is due to congestion of the blood vessels of the skin, and it ainsetting produce it. Its dazzling appearance is favored by light clothing, frequent bathing and powdering of the skin. HIVES or NETTLE RASH (or URTICARIA) The appearance is that of irregular ridges or raided blotches, red in color and itching intensely. They may come suddenly and disappear as quickly or remain for some time. The cause is external causes and there are not known, perhaps 90 per cent of the causes are to be found internally. For example food is the chief cause, such as strawberries, tomatoes, eggs, wheat flour products, seafood, etc. This being the case, we have some fever and disturbance of the stomach and intestines—diarrhoea, constipation or vomiting. We have seen giant hives so pronounced as to puff the lips and eychids out of all recognizable proportions. This condition there are two distinct causes, for your doctor and meanwhile give the child 1-4 teaspoonful of casu ol depending on the age. ECZEMA-This condition is also very common in summer and seems to be associated with foods, as well as other materials. But the subject is so extensive that it cannot be treated here in one paragraph. We shall write of this next week. KRYTHEMA-This means redness. We speak particularly of the redness and pimples that are common about the blisters and folds of the skin. This condition also goes by the name of interruption because soft (maoated) from heat and moisture, an eczema may develop. This is common where the child urinates often and the napkin is not changed soon after especially if the urine smells an ammonia. The cage of this condition should be directed by your doctor to prevent or change the napkins frequently will assist in its prevention. IMPETIGO-Any of the conditions we have mentioned may be scratched by the child. This is sure to result in infection. When infection with or without a previous disease of the skin takes the form of many postules—little or large pimples which contain white matter—which are contagious and spread from one part of the body to another. we may deal with this by calling impetigo contagiosa. Your doctor can cure this with a particular ointment. IVY POISONING—Now that is here, is here and the kidder will be getting out into the open spaces of sunshine, fresh air, and green trees, grass and foliage. In the country, particularly in the countryside, your countryman to point this out to you. The condition appears on the exposed surfaces of the body, legs, arms and face as an intense itching, burning, redness or pain. A physician's aid is absolutely necessary for adequate treatment and cure. Now, mother, you will observe that there is only one condition which you may possibly treat your child with is prickly heat. Even this may become more than you can manage alone. Rienzi Declares That Travelling Public, Not Pullman Co., Will Bear Brunt Of Pullman Porter Wage Raise Says Socalled Tip Is As Much Part Of Porters' Wage As Rates Paid For Pullman Accommodations Are Part of Officials Salaries By RIENZI B. LEMUS The situation that has ties of the Fullman porter porters is the paradox of The situation that has developed from the activities of the Pullman porters union on behalf of the porters is the paradox of a generation. Public opinion, fed on misinformation mostly by the daily press, is gradually being focused on the question of the porters' wages and work; and if public opinion should constrain Pullman to act in the near future, the victims will be none other than Pullman patron and Pullman porter. It won't be Pullman Company. The union's purported intent to move for more pay and better rules for porters went off on a bad tangent the moment the question of "up abolishment" was sprung. And it has been getting worse ever since for public and porter; with worst in the immediatae offing. Grant the benefits and dividends that have accrued to Pullman owners with and by virtue of the tip Concede as a fact, not for sake of argument, the acute need of ad justments in the porters' wage structure; and undisturbed remains the TRUTH, namely, that the travelling public, not Pullman, is chief beneficiary of the so-called tipping custom! And this is not "labor economics," of which I know nothing, thank God, and about which I care less. It is just economics—elementary economics! As it is true as truth itself that no employer pays his employees. The Germs of Propaganda. No microscopes required to discover the germs of the propaganda to pit over the porter's union movement, now on the increase in the daily press. And no amount of embellishment, with well-written protests against the gregage imposed on porters by Pullman, conceals the aim; the postulates of his propaganda are—abolishing tips, as the motive with rejoicing the public of paying them as the objective.

BLANKS Portsmouth, N. H. 1920, made provision, to authorize the Interstate Commerce Commission to increase rail rates for the purpose of enabling the railways to raise money with which to pay wage increases of rail employees, and so soon as the late labor Board increased wages of practically all, rail employees, effective as of July 1, 1920, the Commerce Commission substantially increased rail rates for the railroads to finance, the wage increases. The travelling public is still paying these increases, and everybody directly or indirectly pays the increased freight rates, in consequence. The Pullman Surcharge. It was then that the Commission invoked the burdensome "Pullman surcharge" as a source of rail revenue. This "sur-charge" is, one half the price of the Pullman ticket, added to it; actually, the "surcharge" is a rail tax on Pullman passengers; it goes to the railroad. The Commerce Commission has refused it obolish it, and a movement led by the travelling salesmen's organization was unsuccessful at getting Congress to wipe it out. So if Pullman is as avaricious as Ben Stollberg and Heywood Brown say it is, the public then can easily approximate what it is in for if and when the direct methods of part payment of porters wages with tips shall be superceded with indirect payment through the Pullman Company! The propaganda for porters' tips 'abolishment is deluding the pay-off' public with the far-fetched assumption that abolishing of tips means no further obligation on its part for the porters' wages. That the present rates with a $2.50-per month porter, couldn't remain so with a $150 month porter on a 24-hour month basis, while means pay for overtime in addition. Is more than superficially evident to a ten-year old child. Another deflation victimizing the travelling public is the assumption that a tip is a gratuity. The only thing gratuitous about it is the assumption. Tip Is Part Of Wage The so-called tip is as much a part payment of the porters' wages for services rendered as the rates paid for Pullman accommodations at a ticket window are part payments of Pullman officials' salaries and Pullman conductors' standard wages. The requirements of a porter are those of a full-grown and strong man; certainly the nominal wage of $72.50 per month, to quote the union's mus-leading, propagandic figures of the porters' monthly wage, are not a man's wages. Therefore, every tip paid by the public is for ,service rendered by a man. Wherefore, it's not a gift; and if the porters ever get a wage of $150 on an 8-hour day basis, the average Pullman passenger will pay more on this account when he buys a ticket than the average ever paid or pays in the form of tips. This submission is neither an argument for the tipping custom's continuance nor a defense of Pullman. It is a statement of facts—nannely, that the public now pays and the that the public now pays and the porters and would pay if the tipping custom were abolished, that tipping is not an act of giving—and a brief for the Pullman porters, who constitute the most manly, most cultured body of working men on earth, and make up the economically and so- HELLO EVERYBODY STARR HAWLEY Announcing STATION V.

Among them I am, indeed fortunate to number hundreds of my friends. I stood for Ben Stollberg having the Pullman Company make peons of them, because the onus was placed on Pullman. But Heywood Brown's recent "seeming to me-ing" of the Pullman porters' homes into approximate "Claude McKay travels" was, in the words of Lafetio Hearn, "2 match!" The home of an average Pullman porter surpasses in comfort and culture. the home of the average man; while to compare it with the "home" of the average "professional - Negro race leader would he sacrilege. The porter's need for wages and rules adjustment is pressing. But this most acute need now is to be saved from his "friends." Pullman's failure to deal with the union when the useless Board of Mediation advised it is regrettable from every point of view—particularly from the porter's. For as between the obstinacy of his employer and the destructive propaganda of the press he is caught by the upper and nether millstones of an evil season, which portends to end disastrously. The millstone appears to be cast around his neck, with the depths of the sea in close proximity, and the travelling public is his prospective twin brother in mystery. Oscar DePriest Scores Tennis Champion Brown Kansas City, Mo.—Oscar DePriest, Republican candidate for Congressman from the First Congressional District of Illinois, took a few minutes off while eating breakfast Monday morning to "explain a few things" to Edgar Brown, erstwhile national tennis champion and former editor of a newspaper in St. Louis. The "calling down" occurred in the Street Hotel cafe and had its origin when Brown, in a taunting manner, made observations anent Mr DePriest. The candidate for Congress flew into Brown and played him going and coming, taking the opportunity to remind Brown that he had no vote in Chicago, and that if he was caught trying to vote, the prison would have another inmate and the prison barbers would have two hours work cutting Brown's hair and shaving his bewhiskered chin. The cafe was crowded at the time, and DePriest was cheered, roundly. When in New York STOP AT THE Hotel Olga E. H.

The platitudes embodied in the platform do not mean anything at all, but an effort to convince the voters that the nominees will help the farmers, continue the abortive efforts to enforce prohibition and maybe introduce another anti-lynching bill for the Congress to kill in committee. REAL REPRESENTATION. In the regular order of the political calendar, attention will shortly be turned from national nominations to formin plans for State and legislative tickets. In the Nineteenth Assembly district, it is to be expected that District Leader Abraham Grenthal will be calling the election district captains and the county committee members together to endorse his leadership and to favor his candidacy for another term as Assemblyman. It might as well be understood, that the majority of the Republicans in the district are in no mood to endorse Mr Grenthal for the district leadership or for nomination as Assemblyman. The feel that he has ceased to represent the needs and aspirations in a political war and has instead assumed the pose of a dictator. This arrogant attitude has convinced the majority of Republicans, comprising the colored voters, that they must seek genuine representation, by selecting and supporting one of their own group for leader. The nomination for Assembly should also go to them as a matter of justice, their numbers and political strength entitling them to representation in the State Legislature. The election district captains and the county committeeemen may through the force of party discipline obey orders from the political machine to endorse Grenthal. But the majority of the voters are able to take matters in their own hands and present a candidate of their own selection, possessing the necessary qualifications as a true representative. In the case The Age would feel that its duty would be to support such a candidate against Grenthal. What the Negro need in Harlem, as elsewhere, is real representation in politics. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. The selection of Herbert Hoover of California and Senator Curtis, of Kansas as the Republican candidates for President and Vice President is taken to mark the passing of political power to the West. Mr. Hoover was not the first choice of the Republican leaders in the East and they accepted him only because they could not find another available candidate. His strength was so great before the convention that no midnight conference could conjure up a dark horse to defeat him. The main trouble with Mr. Hoover was that he is too strong a character to suit the politicians. His outstanding qualities as an able executive and efficient administrator were too pronounced to suit the men who really control the government, whether it is Republican or Democratic. How they will accept his nomination remains to be seen. It might as well be understood, that the majority of the Republicans in this district are in no mood to endorse Mr. Grenthal for the district leadership or for renomination as Assemblyman. They feel that he has ceased to represent their needs and aspirations in a political way and has instead assumed the pose of a dictator. This arrogant attitude has convinced the majority of Republicans, comprising the colored voters, that they must seek genuine representation, by selecting and supporting one of their own group for leader. The nomination for Assembly should also go to them as a matter of justice, their numbers and political strength entitleting them to representation in the State Legislature. The election district captains and the county committeeemen may through the force of party discipline obey orders from the political machine to endorse Grenthal. But the majority of the voters are apt to take matters in their own hands and present a candidate of their own selection, possessing the necessary qualifications as a true representative. In this case The Age would feel that its duty would be to support such a candidate against Grenthal. What the Negro needs in Harlem, as elsewhere, is real representation in politics. From the standpoint of the people, at large, Mr. Hoover is undoubtedly the strongest candidate for the Presidency since the time of Theodore Roosevelt. His attitude in the direction of the Mississippi flood relief and in dealing with the question of racial segregation in his department, showed a disposition to deal fairly with all groups, without bias or prejudice on account of race or color. It would seem that the race can look to him for a square deal on the question of human rights. Senator Curtis is a Republican of the old school who voted both for and against the bill for farm relief and earned the opposition of Editor Nick Chiles of the Topeka, Plaindealerfi in his last primary contest. Whether these two eminent Kansans have buried the tomahawk since then we have not heard. Mr. Curtis' long experience in the Senate should amply qualify him for the exacting task of presiding over its deliberations. At all events, it is not likely that he will be caught napping, when his vote is needed. The fact that he claims to be of Indian ancestry may add a sentimental interest to his candidacy but will hardly count in the voting. THE LITERARY PROCESSION The progress of the literary movement among Negroes has been marked by several highpoints during the past six months, which tend to confirm the belief that works by and about the race still retain interest for publishers, reviewers and readers. Naturally, it is not always the books possessing genuine merit that score a success as best sellers. An example of that fact was furnished in the case of Claude McKay's "Home to Harlem," which reached its seventh or eighth printing and kept its place in the lists of the best sellers for several months. Yet its chief claim to distinction was its coarseness of diction in depicting the absence of morals and state of sexual promiscuity among certain groups in Harlem and Brooklyn. Not since Fiddling's "Tom Jones" have sexual relations been handled with such brutal frankness and crudeness of language. The progress of the literary movement among Negroes has been marked by several highpoints during the past six months, which tend to confirm the brief that works by and about the race still retain interest for publishers, r reviewers and readers. Naturally, it is The Republican party has nominated a strong ticket. AN INNOCUOUS PLATFORM. The platform adopted by the Republicans at Kansas City consisted of the usual platitudes calculated to placate contending factions and exalt party achievements in the eyes of its followers. The record of the Coolidge administration was indorsed without qualification and the record of the party declared to be a record of advancement of the nation. Considerable space was devoted to the vital agricultural problem and the general depression in that industry, with a recital of the measures undertaken to relieve the farmers' burden. Assistance was promised in the reorganization of the marketing system on sounder and more economical lines by the creation of a Federal farm board, without, however, putting the government into business. Prohibition was indorsed by quoting George Washington and Abraham Lincoln on the sacredness of the Constitution, and pledging the party and its nominees to the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment. No such specific pledge was made to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, or any other provision of the bill of rights, so nullification of the franchise was condoned by implication, as has been the case before. The most important production in the form of fiction was undoubtedly the novel by Dr. W. E. B. Dalbois, entitled "Dark Princess." While the early chapters, describing the European encounters, suggested the flamboyancy of an Oppenheim thriller, the chapters dealing with the political intrigues of Chicago were circumstantial and convincing. In the drawing of Sara Andrews, the feminine lobbyist and wirepuller who put a price on everything except her chastity, we find Becky Sharp of Thackeray's "Vanity Fair," in a modern version, with bobbed hair and irreproachable hosiery. Despite the loving care that the author lavished on the character of his Dark Princess, the first wife of her hero was the more vivid and living figure, although repellent because of her mercenary and grasping natufe. The Pan-African propaganda was put over with the author's usual intensity and eloquence, being skillfully interwoven as an essential part of the romance surrounding the East Indian heroine, who gave her title to the book. All in all, Dr. Dalbois has given us a rattling good story, with a wealth of material that would have served to furnish at least three ordinary novels. "Under the head of "The Negro," appeared a perfunctory paragraph reading, "Review our recommendation that the Congress enact at the earliest possible date a Federal anti-lynching law, so that the full influence of the Federal government may be wielded to exterminate this hideous crime." This recommendation would have been stronger if it had recognized the fact that lynching is not-only a crime against the Negro, who is mostly its victim, but against the State or Country that tolerates it. As former Justice Hughes of the Supreme Court once lenned it, Lynching is murder. A com- "Quicksand," by Nella Larsen, is a novel of frustration, which presents a peculiar study in the psychology of her heroine, whose life is a failure through no one's fault but her own innate perverseness. Helga Crane was the daughter of a Danish mother and a Negro American father, and her temperament alternated between the two different strains, with the disastrous result that she could adopt neither permanently nor even find refuge in a middle of the road course. Repelling the growing interest of the colored educator who she discovered too late was the man she really loved, she went to Denmark and disappointed her mother's family by refusing to marry a Danish artist, who became fascinated by her. Her return to New York opened her eyes too late, for the man she really loved had married her friend and proved faithful to his choice. The incident of her accidental attendance at a religious revival meeting, with its cataclysmic effect, and her hasty marriage to the unlettered preacher, inconsistent as they sound, are made to appear as the inevitable outcome of the emotional conflict within her. Her submersion into the role of the unwilling mother of a numerous progeny, whom she had to rear in primitive surroundings, is invested with a sense of human tragedy adopt his views on farm relief. His letter was a model for more timid statesmen to adopt. It read: "I have stated publicly' that I did not want the summation unless the Republican party were prepared to meet fully and fairly the agricultural problem. I have insisted upon no particular remedy, but have stated at all times that if there were a better equalization fee I would gladly accept it. I had urged, however, that it was the duty of the Republican party to find some way by which agriculture could be rescued from the danger which it causes. This, judgment, the convention, by its platform just adopted, has failed to do. I therefore authorized the withdrawal of my name from HOW ABOUT HAITI? By ARTHUR RUHL A unique production in the publishing line is the Saturday Evening Quill, being the annual of the Saturday Evening Quill Club of Boston. In a statement to the reader, we are told that it hopes to appear annually and will, provided it has something to publish and money to pay the printer. Its purpose being chiefly to present original work of the club members to themselves, the publication is not for sale. To quote the statement further: "Members are not particularly desirous of hearing praise of what is found herein, but will listen to it, as also they will listen to adverse criticism." The ages of contributors run all the way from 22 to 60 odd. The club is an organization of Boston writers, most of whom are not professionals. Their names are given as follows: Ralf M. Coleman, Marion G. Conover, Waring Cuney, Alice Chapman Furlong, Eugene Gordon, Edythe Mae Gordon, Florence Marion Harmon, Alvira Hazzard, George Reginald Margetson, Gertrude P. McBrown, Clifford L. Miller, Joseph S. Mitchell, Grace Vera Postles, Ilorita Ruffin Ridley, Ferdinand L. Rousseve, Gertrude Schalk, Dorothy West, Roscoe Wright. The 72 pages of verse and prose will bear comparison with current magazine literature and fortify the contention that Boston is still a literary centre. (In. N. Y. Herald Tribune) Much of the discussion of Mr. H. P. Davis's "Black Democracy" has left out, the most timely, to this reader—and most significant part of Mr. Davis's work, his constructive criticism, as a long-time resident of Port au Prince, of what he felt to be outstanding defects of the occupation, and his reminder, to an indifferent American public and a dilatory government, that after thirteen years of American rule in Hayti no direct steps have yet been taken toward preparing the conscious Haitian minority to govern their own country themselves. Haitian disabilities for democracy and the material benefits which the American occupation have brought, are self-evident. Nobody acquainted with Haitian realities would care to waste his time in disputing such facts, nor has the writer any wish, in this place, to embark on a discussion of the good-old question of the justice, expediency, divine right, manifest destiny or what you will much less learn to compel one nation to interfere for the sake of another nation when the latter is weak enough to make such interference easy. Not An Insular Possession It is however pertinent to recall that Haiti is not one of our insular possessions, in the same case as the Philippines' or the Virgin Islands, and that our military intervention there in 1915 was made only after a definite assurance that we had no object in view except for the independence and re-establish a first government", and that we should remain in Haiti "only so long as will be necessary for this purpose." A more pretentious volume, resembling the Quill, annual in style, was published by Opportunity magazine of New York, under the title of "Ebony and Topaz, a Collectanea," edited by Charles S. Johnson. Purists have taken exception to the use of the singular article with the term collectanea, as the dictionary classifies it as a plural noun. Leaving that stricture as a moot question for literary debating circles, the volume furnishes additional evidence of the effort toward self-expression in prose and verse, with some original drawings and valuable reproductions. The contributors to this collection are drawn from both races and include some writers who rank as professionals. Its range of contents is wide and varied and its plan resembles that followed by Dr. Alaine Locke in "The New Negro." Such being our status it would seem to follow that we must have some definite program designed to govern our forces and administer their government when our forces leave the island, and "obvious," as Mr. Davis puts it, that "a Haitian Senate and deputies—both, of which were deprived of the occupation—should be elected and should function before our withdrawal," and that definite, steps also be taken 'toward the gradual replacement of Americans by Haitian all administrative departments." No Such Program. No such program exists as Mr. Davis sees it, nor have such steps been taken. And while some of the early deadlocks and obstacles, resulted from lack of policy on our part and from lack of cooperation in the treaty specific authority for the responsible agents nominated by the, President of the United States', have been broken evaded, he is still struck by the economic constructive effort to solve the long-deferred problem of giving to, the Haitian people political autonomy. This is the most legitimate and by far the most vital of the complaints of the still resentful and disgruntled people, which represent the only anti-affair public opinion if Haiti! Besides these books written by Negro authors, there have been a number of other volumes dealing with racial subjects by white writers. Notable among these may be mentioned: "Black Majesty," a sympathetic and stirring recital of the career of King Henri Christophe of Haiti, by the author of "Tom Tom," John W. Vandercook. In it we are told of Christophe's obsession for work and how it tended to 'bring about his downfall,' "Rainbow Round My Shoulder" tells the story of a black Ulysses; whose wanderings in forty states are recounted by Howard W. Odum. James L. Sibley and Dr. D. Westermann, in the volume entitled "Liberia—Old and New," give the results of a study of its social and economic background with possibilities of development. Leaving out of account early delays and blunders, the unfortunate racial antagonism which has raised a wall between the occupation and that Haitian elite which must be depended on eventually to take control of the country to do anything for education, except very recently and by a rather grotesque indirection owing to the lack of any suitable provision in that constitution, which, as the Assistant Secretary - of the Navy in 1918 once jocularly remarked, "I am so much more interested and many other omissions and commissions, Mr. Davis, as an American business man douless as interested in a "strong" government in Haiti as anybody, points out various facts in the actual conduct of affairs, which tend to pre-operate and accommodate "the co-operation and accommodation" which the treaty contemplated. Judging by the publishers' output of the past six months, it looks as if the Negro writer was establishing his place as an integral factor in the march of American literature. At no time since the birth of the Anglo-African Magazine, nearly a century ago, have the contributions of the race been so prolific and trenchant. And the past history and present tendencies of African peoples in various parts of the world continue to furnish fruitful themes for other writers. In the literary procession of the times the Negro has achieved a conspicuous position. It is up to our writers to make the most of their calling. He thinks the Financial Advisor's failure to respect decisions of the Haitian Supreme Court was "undoubtedly prompted by a desire to save the Haitian people's money and considerations of substantial justice," but dougts' whetted interest in the case or sincerely should be permitted to occupy a position of arbitrary power to decide whether or not judgments of the highest court in the land should be recognized." MR. LOWDEN'S WITHDRAWAL. Time Ja Override. And "tally as the High Commissioner has performed his duties, the time is override for the subordination of the military to a civil government to this high office of a man trained to civil rather than military functions." Mr. Davia suggests three possible policies, among them the intervention and the enforcement the intervention, indefinitely—both of which alternatives he dismisses as import- before the convention. Though I cease to be a candidate - my interest in the cause is in no way abated. FRANK O. LOWDEN." There are few candidates who would pass up their chances for a Presidential nomination, however slight they may appear to be, because the platform failed to meet their views. This action of Mr. Lowden confirms the view-that The Age has long entertained as to his dependable character and political sagacity. In his withdrawal he preserved the respect and esteem of his genuine supporters. sible or inexpedient—or "announce definitely that he will withdraw at the expiration of the treaty in 1936 and adopt a definite program designed to prepare the Haitian people, in so far as possible, to take over and administer an independent government." If the Haitian people tend to pack up and sail away tomorrow there would doubtless be a revolution before the smoke of the American ships had disappeared below the northern horizon. President Borno, unless he went away with those who have made possible his long sojourn in office would doubtless be able to escape through the French Legation or streaking it for the hills, and this would result inevitably from the nature of the present situation and not because Mr. Borno was or was not a good President. Short Enough Time. Eight years is a short enough time—if we really intend to leave in 1936—in which to smooth over some of the worst of the hatreds and jealousies created by the long stay of the American forces in Haiti, and to give articulate Haitians, after more than a dozen years of forced abstention from politics, some practice in democracy, some stress of Ourse in the if any, is simply like let things drift and some time between now and 1936 again risk the good will of the Haitians, the rest of Latin America and a suspicious world, by again exerting pressure to secure an extension if the treaty. There exists a well defined fear in Haiti that this will be our policy," says Mr. Davis, "and so long as we have the possibility of securing the confidence and friendly relations which are so essential to the successful outcome of the intervention." In short, while the American intervention in Haiti is one of those political adventures about which I am most scared to down to the present; all sorts of 'things can be said and all sorts of opinions sincerely held, here is a fixed date and it a correct problem date and it a correct time something definite was done. BACK TO AMHERST Local Resident Will Attend Golden Reunion (From Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News "The first colored man to be graduated from Amherst college, Mass, was Charles H. Moore, of the class of 1878." The Rochester, N. Y., Chronicle sometime ago printed that statement. Charles H. Moore is one of Greensboro's leading residents. He has spent the greater part of his life in North Carolina. Tonight (June 12) he will leave here for Amherst to attend the golden jubilee of his class, a class that claims some of the nation's distinguished persons, including F. W. Stearns, one of President Coolidge's closest friends—incidentally, Coolidge is a graduate of Amherst, finishing 11 years after Moore did. Morrow, now a man past the noon day of life, has the satisfaction that no every man with an education has ever taught others. Today he is recognized by both white and black as a benefactor to the community in which he lives. Professor Moore once lived in Raleigh where he cared for the law. offices of, Judge William H. B. Hattie of the Supreme court, and his sons, Richard H., and Kemp P. Battie the latter of the sons of Richard H. of North Carolina. He was prepared for college at Howard University, Washington, and preparatory school at Northampton, Mass. He entered Amherst College in 1874 and graduated with the class of 1878. After finishing college he came to Greensboro, the name of the first grade school, that was established in the state for the Negro race. Ever since then he has been engaged in educational and other kind of worthwhile work for the welfare and advancement of his people—he has actually been Moses among the Jews, he has gone about creating a better understanding between the races. Moore came to Greenisboro when its population numbered not more than 2,00 persons. Through tact and diligence he has played an important part in the city's growth. When the city launched a movement to bring the Negro agricultural and technical college (A.T.) to Greenisboro his part has been his part. The late R. M. Douglas once said of him: "Few men did more to accomplish this object. He was for 13 years a member of the faculty of the college; and in every position he retained the respected confidence of our community." While Moore's best work has been done in Greenisboro, his activities have not been limited to this municipality. For a long time he with the Vassar fund organization has assisted North Carolina in building more than 500 school buildings. His more recent service to the Negro race was his assistance in the building of, the Richardson Memorial Hospital. The New Age Dispatch of Los Angeles announced the first appointment of a member of the race as a public prosecutor, either in a city or county office. It continued: The appointee, Bert McDonald, is indigenous to the soil in that he served in the city of Los Angeles, in 1898, and was educated in the 14th Street Public school and at Los Angeles, High school. He finished the preparatory course at the University of Southern California, and later received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1923. Deputy Prosecutor McDonald enters the Los Angeles with the best wishes of a host of friends, both at the bar and throughout the city generally. The fair, and impartial spirit shown by Dr. E. J. Lickley, City Prosecutor, results in the race receiving the most pronounced recognition that has yet been accorded and is a matter of public confidence in the legal profession. The race group of Los Angeles is to be congratulated on having earned this recognition of one of its members. Animadvertising upon that class of people who boast that they never read a Negro newspaper, or who claim that they are too busy to read one, the Portland, Oregon, Advocate said: These are they who are the least informed on subjects concerning the outstanding achievements and the general progress of the race. They have but scant knowledge of what has happened or what is happening all around them. They belong to the large group of pessimists with secure vision and courage every real enterprise and who seldom, if ever, put their shoulders to the wheel in a cooperative effort to launch a constructive movement that is calculated to advance group interests. They are 'dead weight and belong to the "It can't-be done" crowd, to the cold waterthrowers, who are found in every community, where they present a sad and strange conspiracy to the society and subscribe to and regularly feed one or two of the splendid newspapers edited by intelligent and constructive Negro editors. They also miss some very interesting news and views as to the past, present and future of the race, in various parts of the world. --- An anxious correspondent in the Cincinnati Union, deploring the absence of manners and morals at the present day, asked "What's the matter with the world? Is judgment day coming?" Editor Dabney softly answered: I shall answer the last question first. Judgment day is not coming. It is already here, for everybody is judging everybody else. As far as the great "Judgment Day" is concerned, that day of fire, brimstone, vials, of wrath, Gabriel's trumpet, etc., etc., that we cannot question without offending some members of our society, because of its terrors to bring both converts and cash. In regard to the first question and comment we will say, "History repeats itself." Men have always been bad if the possession of polygamous inclinations may be characterized. With them monogamy seems unnatural. Our opinion has been enlightened by their words. The only real nice man of whom history makes record was Adam. We cannot give him much credit, however, for God saw to it that Eve, the first woman, should have no cause for jealousy, no need to seek the bene- HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association "School Health Day" was observe in New York City's schools, some time ago. All children were tested and examined for easily discoverable physical defects, which might eventually cause ill health. Parents should cooperate with the school authorities in doing all possible to keep their children in good health. The examinations made by the school doctors will be of little value if parents do not follow the advice given. If your child is found to have diseased tonsils and your doctor advises their removal it make arrangements to have it done. This may protect the health of your child. If the doctor finds that your child needs certain dental work, take him to your dentist and have the necessary work done as soon as possible. It is believed that after all health and rheumatism which in turn may cause heart disease often come from diseased tonsils or teeth. Take your child to a competent oculist and have his eyes examined, if his eyesight seems defective, the school authorities will not advise him to wear glasses corrected unless they believe the correction will improve the health of your child. Cooperate in every way possible. Watch your child's general health. See that he has wholesome, well-prepared food. Let him play outdoors as much as possible in order to enjoy the sunlight. Let him sleep from ten to twelve hours every night in a quiet room with the windows open wide. fence of a divorce court. Women now, rejoicing over a new found freedom have wandered beyond the realms of liberty and entered the territory, of license. . . Evidently, Editor Dahney does not credit Prof. John Eraskine's account of Adam's philandering with Lilith. He does however, look for a moral reformation, fifty years from now, when society has seen the error of its ways. . . The Arkansas Survey of Little Rock thinks that there is a close season needed against the shooting of Negroes. It said: . . Arkansas has ample laws for the protection of the wild life of the state against the predatory shooters and the law is enforced. Nearly every session of the courts one is fined for violating the law against, shooting of game out of season. The state has ample law for the protection of human life, but it is with alarming frequency that we note that some Negro has been shot, in some cases killed by petty officers of the law. In not a single case has victim been charged with some meaner offence in which he means an officer, that even if guilty would be proven, would mean a nominal fine. It is not our purpose to try court cases in the paper, but certainly, when such manifest freedom is used in the shooting of Negroes under the most trivial excuses, it is time to call the public attention to this. Grand Juries have made worthy gestures towards bringing the offenders to justice, but is a matter of the law with the indictment. If tried at all the verdict can be forecast. It is nearly impossible to get a conviction in any case where an officer of the law is charged with excess in conduct, if te Negro is a victim. After citing some recent cases, in citing the shooting of a prisoner in the city hall, it was announced that counsel has been employed to prosecute this case to the limit. The tendency of peace officers to shoot without provocation should be curbed by the courts. Commenting on the report that the Ku Klux Klan is planning a comeback in Indiana politics, the Indianapolis *Recorder* said: No doubt jurusprisonious individuals who seek personal gain and power at any cost are at the head of the movement. The people of this state have suffered enough of confusion, strife and turmoil through the evil activities of the Klan. It seems same people would follow the scheming Klan leaders no farther. The Klan leader, who has affected the progress of the state, it has been revealed in its true light and there is no need of farther guess about the matter. In the new Klan move, the leaders no doubt expect to intrench the organization in state politics again. The Republican party, dominant in the state, has the greatest Klan political activity. No doubt an attempt to back-load would see Klan leaders aligned or attempting to align their forces with the dominant party. The state of Indiana should not have to undergo another siege of Klan influence in politics. The leader of the state can prevent such. It is true that votes are with politicians, and politicians seek and want votes. But we are of the opinion that Senator James Watson and other leaders of the Republican party in the state could come out and take a stand to rid Republican politics of every sage and man. And in future, and still maintain the support of the majority of the good and influential citizens of the state As Senator Watson was credited with enjoying the support of the Klan in the past, it is hardly likely that he will dare repudiate it now, however much he might like to. The Klan is a menace to good government regardless of which party it may support. The Nashville *Clarion* sounds a note of encouragement in behalf of business organization in that community. It said: The Negro Board of Trade is one of those timely and helpful agents that are contributing in many ways to the business life of this community. The officials and members of that Board study numerous those problems that relate to the business of business enterprises, the making of places for the boys and girls of the race, and demonstration of our business ability on a large and commuting scale. This Board has just moved into Fourth Avenue North, in which it has fitted up a spaces and elogged meeting place, and made room for its members and others who are interested in the work. It has on a drive for new members which will last three days. During that period every business man in the race should ensure that the organization is emphasized by the text that business enterprises are multiplying among our people; in consequence of which there is an increasing demand for capital for skilled eletricists; in addition to the application of business principles. Making a special study of their problems as this Board has done, must necessarily prove to be one of the most helpful business agencies among our people. That sounds like a practical demonstration of the program outlined for local business leagues. Nashville evidently deserves a place on the Business-League map. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Rush Memorial Church Rev. T. J. Askew, of Bethel Church, was the preached at the 11 o'clock service last Sunday morning "The Heaven Bound Traveler" was the subject of his discourse, and he received Rev. A. Brook preached a very helpful sermon. The Social Workers Club, Mrs. Pridue, president, entertained their friends with a musical program at 3:30 p. m. At the fourth quarterly conference held Monday night, the memorial service of Dr. Oliver as pastor for the coming conference year, and the delegatee, Mrs. Mary Brudgidge, will so petition the bishop, Rt.

Dr. Oliver and Mrs. Elizabeth Summers are muchimproved, and able to be out again. Refuge Church of Christ Refuge Church is still on the upgrade in every way. The juniors on Wednesday evening deserve special mention for their faithfulness and zeal, as well as exceptional merit; they are increasing steadfastness and with the principles of the gospel to build upon, they are on the way to victory through Christ. On last Friday evening the Divine healing service was wonderful, and we can say like the writer of old, "He is the same to day, yesterday and forever," and His power to deliver from sickness and still to heal his faith, his believeth and obey the word. We shall obtain the promises if we are the heirs by the new, birth. Sunday, June 17, was a day of great joy, and every one seemed to be blighted with gladness to greet the pastor, who had been absent for two weeks. He filled the pulpit at both services; and delivered to the congregation wonderful messages both morning and evening. At the morning hour he preached from Philippians' 2:12. "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my work, work out my salvation with fear and trembling." He emphasized greatly the office work of the Holy Spirit in working out the salvation of man, because it is not in man to order his steps. He instructed the people in salvation exhorted the people of God to give diligence and sincerity to the christian course: "Work out your salvation." At the evening hour the auditorium was filled. A lawson preached from sajal 44:20 feeder on ashes, a deceived heart hurned him aside." He explained the deceitfulness of the lust of the flesh, and of the eye, and of the pride of this life upon the one of ours, so that away from true salvation as well as idolatry did in the days of the prophet. Calvary M. E. Church Dr. Rakesstraw spoke "Sunday, June 17, at the Junior Church, Text St. Matthew 6. "The Lord's Prayer." He spoke briefly to the children on having respect and reverence for God. Morning service was all attended. The pastor, Dr. Rakesstraw, spoke, Text, Isaiah 1, part of 16 and 17 verses "Cease to do evil—learn to do well." It is a universal precept and obligation of young and old alike. No man can be without the righteousness of God until he has been from evil. No one can be a christian until he ceases to do evil. We do not become full grown christian, instantaneously but must develop as a flower. The children's day was celebrated by the Sunday school at 2 p.m. The recitations were enjoyed "by all present." At 6 p.m. a musical and literary program was given by the Intermediate Epworth League. A fine program was rendered and enjoyed by a large crowd.

More than $11,000 was raised for education and home and inbound mission. The election results resulted in the official staff. Dr. J. C. Jackwell and his executive forces were re-elected. Dr. A. C. Powell was elected vice-president. The sessions were harmonious in every respect. Dr. Jackson's annual address was great. Dr. R. L. Bradyh's educational address was a masterpiece. Dr. M.

People were in the Abyssinian Baptist Church, packing it to its utmost capacity from all of us, as down as South Carolina, Great addresses and sermons were preached, and a nice sum of money raised, while the great church, with its broadhearted pastor, Dr. Powell, and a staff of efficient and trained workers, made every thing pleasant who were part of the gathering. Local churches were graced by the presence of visiting preachers. In St. Paul, we had helpful sermons preached by Revs. U. G. Crooks and W. F. Dickinson. Our work moves along more smoothly than before, the fact that the new church edifice goes on up each day, and the other fact that people from in the city and out of it have gone by to see for themselves and are talking about the work, gives encouragement to the members, and they are interested as have steer before been seen in the church. The St. Paul Church expects, to be able to enter its new edifice in May, to be on it, membered that work be done in the demolition of the buildings where the church is being built only in May, it will be apparent that, if this program is carried out, St. Paul have made a record in building. Grace Church of Harlem A beautiful Sunday brought out a goodly number of the congregation to hear an excellent sermon by the pastor, Dr. A. C. Garner, the service opened with an organ performance, "Holy, Holy, Holy." After the Gloria and unison confessions, Dr. Garner read the scripture followed by prayers. When the flower offering had been taken Dr. Garner took occasion to thank his congregation for their help in entertaining the English visitors and to tell them how pleased the visitors were with their courtesy and hospitality. The guests were so impressed that they passed it on to the others and two delegates met the church he, next day, and met the family and a few ladies of the church. Dr. Garner's sermon was a most helpful one. He impressed upon his guidance the great need of putting more faith in God, and he planted a Plemon Church, Charleston, S.C. responded to the fellowship invitation and was welcomed in Grace Church.

BRITISHERS ARE HARLEM CHURCH GUESTS TWO DAYS English Congregationalists Visiting New York See Harlem On Thursday, June 14, a delegation of about one hundred members of a party of English Congregationalists visiting in New York, said a visit to Grace Congregational Hall. The church was spic and span with a new coat of paint on the outside and gay with flags and pennants inside and out. Downstairs the Sunday school room was transformed into a beautiful tea room. Tables with spotless linen glistening china and then linen with a group of ladies under Mesmures Braithwaite, Parks, Terry, Simms and others. At about 4:30 p. m. the visitors began to arrive in cars under the escort of Dr. A. C. Garner, pastor of Grace Church and were ushered to the trains of martial music. When they were seated the choir sang "Burleigh's," "Listen to the Lambs." The audience was so pleased with the beautiful rendition that they demanded another, which was promised later on. Dr. Garner made the address of welcome An English woman, who sat next to the writer, remarked with characteristic English enthusiasm, "Isn't he splendid? I think your minister is so wholesome looking his congregation must love him very much." Dr. Garner introduced Dr. George Haynes. His speech was well received. The choir, sang "Sinners, don't let this Harvest pass?" by Burleigh and in response to a demand for love have "Deep River" also by Burleigh. Dr. Haynes introduced Dr. Hanfield of North Hampton, Rev.Mr. Evans and Rev. Dr. Glegg, who made short "thank you" address, Dr. Channing H. Obias, the secretary made a short address of welcome which ended the program. English Tea Served The visitors went on a tour of inspection and then drifted down to the tea room.

George Shippen Stark, pastor, discussed on the call to service, taking his text particularly appropriate to the young men and women coming out of the schools and colleges at this season of the year. In his remarks it was brought out that all education is preparation for duty and service. Every call to every duty is called to the call to be a sixth sense and just as real as the other five senses. The right way of finding duty and the call to service is by prayer to God for guidance of His Holy Spirit, then find your place, walk straight in it.

THE material contrast between the structures with which (Hooker T. H. stingham) began and the present great, ample and commodious work of the United States Supreme Court is about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is. It is but an amalgamation and annual turning out of two or three hundred men, women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most important and important task. The purpose of the Court is to demand and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Tuckeye, the light of the homely but ever living truth which must form the basis of the law of the country and ever living law.

MUSIC WEEK ASSOCIATION CONTESTS Some 1,200 children, prize winners in the recent New York City Music Week contests, were greeted by 3,000 relatives and friends at Mecca Temple on Thursday evening, June 14, to see them receive gold, silver and bronze medals awarded in token of their artistic accomplishments. There were a number of colored aspirants among the number, two of whom were gold medal winners, representing a triumph over rivals in three classes—local districts, Borough and Interborough—in which more than 11,000 children took part. One of the outstanding features of the 1928 contest was the achievement of a group of pupils from the music studio of David H. Johnson of 60 West 140th street. Nine young pupils from this studio were entered, seven as soloists, and a measure of the excellence of instruction given by Mr. Johnson is shown in the fact that every one of the pupils entered was a prize winner. In addition to the soloists, there was a violin quartet, composed of two of the soloists and two other pupils, and this quartet was also a winning group, being awarded a medal for its playing of the Sophrone Musik by Rubenstein. The leading representative of the group was little 8-years old Raymond Waters of 42 West 139th street, violinist, who triumphed in all of the classes, and who was awarded a bronze medal in the district, silver in the Borough, and gold in the Interborough contests. He was given an ovation when receiving the last named prize. He attained a rating of 91.2 per cent, after only two years study with Mr. Johnson. The other gold medal winner, representing the race, was Alma Fay Canty of 110 West 139th street, 10 year old lyre soprano, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Canyt, a vocal pupil for the past, two years of Alma Emma DeLyon Leonard of the same address. Two of the Johnson pupils were triumphant in district and Borough contests, winning bronze and silver medals for their excellent work Dorothy Marks of 680 St. Nicholas avenue, 12 years old, was rated 8-2-3 for her violin playing, and the other was Griselda Harewood, 13 years of 349 Cumberland street, Brooklyn, a pianist (not violin as was stated last week.) Four pupils won in the district contest, two violin and two piano, William H. Briggs jr., 14 years, 582 Lenox avenue, and Charles Hunt, 13 years, 34 West 136th street, were the violinists, and Ambrosia Benjamin, 11 years, 582 Edgecombe avenue, and May Boyce, 12 years, 21 West 136th street were the pianists. The violin quartet was composed of Dorothy Marks, Charles Hunt, bronze and silver medal winners, and Edwina Coker, 11 West 137th street, and James Thomas, 68 West 139th street. Dr. John T. Nicholson, district superintendent of Public School Districts 10 and 11, presided, and C. Stanley Mitchell, chairman of the presentation committee, joined in a tribute to Miss Jasabel Lowen, a sister of former Governor Lowen of Illinois, for her work as director of the New York Music Week Association. Mr. Mitchell said that "Last year's medal winners are this year's artists," and Dr. Nicholson spoke of the greater number of pupils participating this year. Miss Lowden spoke briefly, saying in part: "I want to criticize the parent who thinks the medal is the whole thing." Continuing, she said: "If the medal won by the child inspires an earnest devotion to music, then this is far more important than winning it." In addition to forty gold medals, there were awarded 285 silver medals, 350 bronze, 23 silver cups and 150 certificates of merit. Other colored gold medal winners in past years include Carlton Bloxon, tenor; Ruby Green, contralto, and Doris Troutman, soprano.

Sc., in music to Gwendon Brown, a student of that school, was denied by Judge Edwin P. Cox, sitting in Nottaway County Court House on June 12.

Attorney B. F. Harris was then associated with Mr. Taylor. A long and exhaustive period of testimony was entered into, it being sought to be shown that Miss Brown had really given fulltime to all the subjects in question, and that she was entitled to the credits which would enable her to graduate. The subjects in question were physics, piano, English, French, directed music, expelling, music appreciation and expelling. The school set up as a defense that the girl had not done sufficient work in college to warrant graduation, and this was upheld by the court's denial of the writ. Attorney R. W. Wilson represented the school. Savannah, Ga — The Georgia State Industrial College Summer School will be held June 25 to July 28.

All that is mekessary is for one to find the places in which this indiscriminate betting goes on, This reporter ran " {cross one of these places a few days ago, It was “Gindy's” place on Seventh avenue. e : : j . Now “Gindy's” is not by any means a gambling resort. Indeed not! “Gindy’s” is merely one of those places that the zealots of the Eighteenth Amendment contend stfould be closed, no matter how wide open they Téave the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, ‘So now, whether you are a fesident of a visitor here, a further description of the place will not be needed for identification. ‘At the time to which this relates, a motley crowd was ‘enjoying the various concoctions for which “Gindy’s” is noted, and as always tappens in a thirat-quenching emporium of this sort, when customers are plentifal, conversation flowed as rapidly and loudly as the cash reg- ister, which efiumerated and sounded the drinks that were passed: out * and gurzled down, It was plainly to be seen that it was a buying as well as a garrulous crowd. Oddly enough, at the moment of our en- tieace—there were two of ws—the word Pullman drifted to our-ears + Suimising that it was a discussion on the recent Pullman strike talk, we pricked our hearing to tune in on what were the opinions here Botiwe were off there, The subject was of an entirely different charac- ter, It was an argument regarding the ability of Negroes to purchase Pullman accommodations in Georgia Imagine that from a bibulous crowd! You-wonld expect such a theme from a “Striver Row” gath- ering,” but’not here, ¥ A diminutive member of the gathering, called “Pete,” whose in- dination to ride in @ Pullman yon would never suspect, was betting an- other member, addressed as “Doc,” whose mien gave the impression that he was among the crowd but not of it, ten dollars to one that he never rode as'@ passenger in a Pullman car from his. hame, which, from the conversation; seemed to’be in Atlanli, “Pete” argued that they would not sell a Negro a Pullman berth in Georgia. He had once tried to secure such accomodation himself, bat had been told, “Negroes could not ride in Pullman cars down there.” And if he could not buy a Pullman berth in Atlanta, he was sure no other Ne- gro could. Ob, yes, he would bet every dollar he had that it couldn't be done, + “Doc” with his tortoise-shell glassel’ and-fresh-from-college air, was equally assertive that he had ridden from Atlanta to New York yja Pullman. Alex, the bartender, who no doubt had gained his experience as a mixer of anfiVolstead drinks im the Georgia city, raised the bet to twenty-dollars, and allowed, as he came over to serve the two recent entranté, that he would make it forty more that a Negro, un- less he were of the “can pass” type, could not ride as a passenger in a Pullman car in Georgia, much less buy a ticket down there. He would bet the man-who said he did such a thing until hell froze over. Just then there came to mind 2 colored lady who had recently ar- rived from Atlanta, The writer was informed by fer that she had bought her Pullman, accommodations at the Pullman city office in that city. With this in mind the betting bartender was warned not to 0 too heavy in his wagers, for he might lose. The observer's com- panion, who happened to be a former Georgian, nudged the speaker and ‘whispered: “Keep out of the argument,” which of course the speak- er had no notion of entering. Later, the companion said, of course you can secure Pullman accomodations in Atlanta or any other city in Georgia if you apply at the Pullmari city offices, but down there they will f¥fuse these accommodations to ‘Negroes whose appearances .are against them. Certainly both “Pete” and “Alex” appearances were dead “against them, from a Southerner's point af view. We left them bétting. As the open air of Seventh avenue was gained the reporter's companion was asked, if he were a Pullman ticket agent in the South would ke have sold either “Pete” or “Alex” a berth?” “No,” he replied, “Not if I took in consideration their ap- Pearance.” “Well, how about “Doc”. a “Ob, yes, his appearance is all right.” . So, it seems that it all depends an your appearance 1f you would nde via Pullman in the South But it wasn't that phase of the ar- sument that interested this observer. His thoughts strayed -to Har- lem and what a passion she had for betting an anything that lives, ig ate: Invitations are out for the wedding of Miss Rosa Lee Taylor, niece ci W. C.

The case was by Judge Vernon Davis, sitting as referee, and upon his recommendation, Judge Phoenix Ingraham, presiding in Part III, Supreme Court, handed down a decision on June 14 last, affirming the validity of the sale, and exonerating Mr. Royall, President Royall's direc-tion all wrongdoing. It was brought out that Mr. Royall had advanced various sums to the company's account from time to time, the total reaching $5,000, and the board of directors had authorized the sale of the 135th street property and the payment of this sum to Mr. Royall from proceeds of the sale, because the dissenting unrest took legal action to prevent this being done.

The days are flying by; soon June 30 will be here and canvets, new old, are coming into the building to register for just as long a time as they can possibly get away from the city's heat. Camp has always been a popular place and this summer impromises to be finer than ever. To begin with, the canvets will be hot when hot, cold when cold, and always palatable. Then, wonder of wonders, there is to be a radio, a piano and a music counsellor. We have come a long way from Victoria days! But aside from all the externals which go to make itself a lovely place and camping is a fine experience for girls. A little bit of the serenity of nature seems to enter the soul of the girl to strengthen her spiritual life and the wholesome, out-of-door life builds a strong body to cope with the strain of the winter months in this feverish city. From June 30 to September 3, Fern Rock Camp offers an ideal vacation for children, with the most careful supervision over their activities; and for adults, the simple life, the program during July is especially special.
