S. Senator Idaho Borah was a conspicuous busybody at the Kansas City Convention. But this "constitutional justifier" of Southern disfranchisement was conspicuous absent from any and all conferences with Hoover and Curtis, or with either, until after the party leaders and nominees had finished organizing for the Presidential campaign. Thus off to an auspicious start goes the "New Era," which Secretary Hoover wired Senator Moste began with his nomination by the Republicans for President. platform, proverbial Coolidge political luck follows the Republican party; for hardly is the printer's ink dry on the "anti-lyning" plank are a Negro is lynched in the front door of the Democrats' Platform- Consolation. Republicans who are most bitter in denunciation of the Borah tinkered platform do finally, if reluctantly, admit that Hoover and Curtis are strong and worthy candidates, and console themselves with the console themselves, with the political party's national platform is nothing, if not an assemblage of passe platitudes resurrected from the jubilee of propaganda yester-year, for such a precocious child in politics and statemanship as the Booker Washington-looking Board for the 18th Amendment, well as to provide something indigestible for such a chronic Republican, dyspeptic as Senator Neibaska Norris or wear out chewing on. Whatever the effect, certainly, a plank in the platform declaring for enforcement of the law—the 18th Amendment—decently denounced failure to specifically mention the determination to also enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments. But it is the man who has to enforce the law that counts, not the platform. The Republican platform of 1924 contained planks for farm relief since they were put in it, President Coolidge has enforced the law, nevertheless Washington, which felt that the electrocution of Philip Jackson, degenerate Negro, for assault on a woman who still lives was lawful and just, who it obviates who is in mourning over the death whose sentence of death President Coolidge declined to commute on sentimental grounds. Has Enforced The Law. Despite the party's failure to redeem 1924 platform pledges, Coolidge never has faltered in enforcing the law when enforcement has come within his province. He even permitted his Administration to record the first execution of an Arrow in time of peace. "The law is in time of peace," he heart-broken father, who was hanged for the murder of his sweetheart at Manaia, and the "law is the law" he also said to in a Department head here whom he personally ordered to advance a Negro who had qualified for advancement through Civil examination, only to be three dead, until he reached the President. Political party platforms are inconsistent per se because they are written by politicians, who have to select the President and Vice-President with the ballots of voters representing all degrees of mental processes and reactions. As theerry W. Howard once remarked of Neval H. Thomas—"Naval, you must be consistent. But a politician is in the nature of things, inconsistent the honorable" The biggest Jonah to Republican legislative action in redemption of party, platform pledges is the Senate group of such non-Republicans as Senator Bernie Sanders, former Iowa Senator Newt Gobert, and Toop Rabbit being and Howl from howling it was good strategy on the part of Republican leaders to let him think he was getting away with the prohibition Environment legislation on the platform, strategies needed to keep the devoting, cawning-guzzling border states, and, maybe, North Carolina out of the wet-Smith coalition election day. Jonah was much of a proxy as those who were the proxies of the Georgia and Mississippi members of the National Committee with the difference that Bernie didn't know it and the absent committee members were consistent. Good Strategy platform, proverbial Coolidge political luck follows the Republican party; for hardly is the printer's ink dry on the "anti-lynching" plank are a Negro is lynched in the front door of the Democrat's National Convention hall at Houston, Texas—where the first African American Student Union founded the Democratic National Convention is held in the South in a few years short of three quarters of a century. "Survival of the Efficient." This Negro victim of lynchers has not died in vain; he is entitled to be interred with all honors of an "unknown soldier." For regardless of his place in life, in death he demonstrates how a New Orleans man can indict ultimate solution of civil-police-race problem. Texas and Houston and the South would accord that Africre greater honors, could he be brought back to life, than ever it will confer on Governor Moody or Jesse Jones, Houston's Santa Claus, and Texas' favor on state for the Democratic nomination. Hence, Hoover's "New Etaal." And it is to be an "era of the Survival of the Efficient." This is forecast by Hoover's career of leadership in his profession of engineer, in Belgian war-flood relief, in the Mississippi-flood relief and rehabilitation, in the Department of Commerce, in "Billedard Jack" which is efficient at anything from managing a carnival to compiling statistics—is in charge of the "Small Business" section; and there are incomparably more white "small-businesses" than non-white. Hoover, like the late Congressman Butler of Pennsylvania, is quick to make the joke that Butler is indefatigable without time or patience to examine as to pigment or lack of it. Neval Thomas says that Mr. Hoover is the only member of the Coolidge Cabinet who did not at first either deny or defend segregation when his committee called him unnecessary and vicious practice of such discrimination in the Federal Departments where it existed here. 'Jim Crowing' Negroes At Houston Convention Houston, Texas--Any Negroes who attend the sessions of the Democratic National Convention, whether delegates or sightseers, will be relegated to a jim crow section where they will set apart from which all whites will be rigorously excluded. Texas law bars Negroes from white compartments or sections of railway trains, street cars, and theatres, and the authorities have law apply to the convention hall.

South Carolina "Justice" Puts Ben Bess, Pardoned By Governor, Back In Prison When White Woman Recants Grand Jury Gets Second Affidavit In Which Woman Denies Her First Statement and So Negro Victim Is Again In Penitentiary Columbia, S. C.—South Carolina's Negro-hating characteristics are again in evidence, with the casting back into prison of Ben Bess, the one-time wealthy Negro farmer, who was pardoned by Gov. John G. Richards, after serving thirteen of a thirty years sentence, when the white woman who charged him with assault confessed that her charges were false. Now, a grand jury, ordered by the governor to investigate the matter, comes out with a report that the woman's first affidavit was not true, that the woman didn't know what she was signing, and that she has made a second affidavit, declaring that she never meant to say that she never meant that she was unable to read or write, she thought she was simply saying that she had forgiven him. other year, the woman accused him of assault, and was backed up by her husband. Convicted on their charge, Bess was sentenced to thirty years in prison. After he had served thirteen years, the woman recanted, saying that as she had only a short while to live she could not go to Judgement with the further punishment of an innocent man on her conscience. Gov. Richards, after due investigation, threw Back In Penitentiary And on the strength of this reversal, Bess has been put back in the penitentiary, "for fear of mob violence," while the state authorities are seeking some way to seize what Bess has been able to understand that under the law such a pardon is irrevocable, and to subject Bess to trial again would constitute "double jeopardy." In order to give counterance to the charge against the authorities have sworn out a warrant charging Bess with having attacked a fellow prisoner while in the penitentiary, and with other charges of misconduct dug up from some mysterious source, the county authorities believe that Bess has been forced to hold Bess against any effort that may be made to secure his release. Said Bess Was Innocent The white woman and her husband were farm tenants on land owned by Bess, and it is alleged that she had willingly, and with her husband's knowledge, been informed about the coloration of their tenant Bess refused to rent their tenancy for an $72,000 TO AID HARLEM CENTER FOR CHILDREN Young Rockefeller Fund Also For Children On Columbus Hill ATTENTION!

Convicted on their charge, Bess was sentenced to thirty years in prison. After he served thirteen years, the woman recanted, saying that as she had only a short while to live she could not go to Judgment with the further punishment of an innocent man on her behalf. Gov. Richards, after due investigation, issued Bess a full and free pardon, after which the Florence News Review sponsored a reparation fund of $300, to which William E. Gonzales of the Columbia State conference raised the fund to more than the $303 asked for in a few days. Recanted First Affidavit But the Negro-hating element in South Carolina were appealed that a Negro could receive even belated justice when a white woman was concerned, and the action now disfaced. In this group, the woman was induced, in some manner, to recant on her first affidavit, and make a second one declaring that she was ignorant of the contents of the first. On the basis of this second statement, she was reported "there was nothing in the evidence" to support the contention made in the appeal for clemency that Bess had been wrongly imprisoned. It is not doubted but that the state's legal machinery will find some way to hold Bess for further imprisonment, to ensure that a credence to this second "affidavit" secured from the witless white woman CHAMBLISS LEAVES $100,000 ESTATE TO TUSKEGEE INST.

SIX LYNCHERS ARE ARRESTED IN HOUSTON, TEXAS Officials Unusually Active on Eve of Democratic Convention Houston, Texas—A. B. Wheeler, a boiler maker, has confessed to the police that he was one of the unmasked crowd of seven white men who took the colored man, Robert Powell, from the Jefferson Davis Hospital on Wednesday, June 20 and another hiker, Powell, badly wounded, was a prisoner on the charge of having killed City Defective A. W. Davis in a gun battle, when Davis attempted to disperse a group of Negroes. Wheeler, in this confession, named six other white men as inerms of Kent, a balancer driver; Charles Oldham, F. T. Shuck, T. J. Reese, a taxi driver; Howard Minton and Allen M. Keht. The first five were placed under arrest and sheriffs and Texas Rangers started a hunt for Minton. The seven men, according to Kent, Powell was being guarded by a deputy sheriff, and forced the officer, at points of gun, to leave the ward. The party took the prisoner out to an automobile and took him to a bridge about eight-miles from Houston, where he was hanged. Doctors charged the party, carried one of the machines, with three of the lynching party riding in it, to drop out, and so the actual lynching was participated in by only four of the men. The proximity of the Democratic National Convention's sitting has caused a ruckle of alarm law officials, it is said, and so the men engaged in the heinous crime MAY BE, punished.

Hawkins As Leader Of Negro Republicans In Campaign Said That His Close Association With Bishop Carey and A. M. E. Church Politicians Has No Part In The Selection; Cake All Dough Washington, D. C.—Negro management of Negro end of the Presidential campaign now at hand is still sole objective of nearly all "African-Repub" politicians. All roads, there fore, lead to Washington. Wherefore the lobby of the Hotel, Whitaleh here reminds much of the lounge of some "jimercor" hostelry at Kansas City during the recent National Convention. And, consequently, allegations and rumors are legion. The brethren are not united, and as much right to not be as the Nation as right to not be mad at each other because of it at Kansas City. So there are individuals and groups seeking what, according to somewhat authoritative "grapevine radio," none will find an assignment to "Mussolini" works—brief organizer, head of suckers' bureau, generalissimo of publicity, etc., etc. president of the Prudential Bank here, As Kelly Miller would say, D Hawkins is upright, downsizing and looks every man straight in his eyes, and does him; and he will face any man. If Dr. Hawkins has been selected it, can be authoritatively said that his church influence an delose alliance with Bishop Carly played to the attention of the powers that be through the same influence which dictated his selection as one of the three persons to second Hoover's nomination, which influence absolutely has no connection with the A.M. Church. Among the "African-Repub" nobilies, Sent To Manager. It said that all African brethren who have penetrated to the Hoover lair at the Department of Commerce, without a request to call, have been referred to, the campaign manager—even before that world's selection — was officially announced. He said he would be colored. Republican leadership will be placed on the erect shoulders of Dr. John R. Hawkins of Washington, who seconded the nomination of Hoover at the Kansas City Convention, beefing on the part of Northern Negroes about assignment of directors from non-voting states to the Hoover office. Dr. Hawkins is financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, a trustee of Howard University, and Rev. C. S. Whitted, Zion Church Officer Dies Suddenly In N. Y. Rev. C. S. Whitted, Zion Church Officer Dies Suddenly In N. Y. Officers and members of the New York Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church were shocked Friday morning when they learned that the Rev. C. S. Whitted of Philadelphia, Pa., secretary of the Ministerial Brotherhood of the General office had bee found dead in bed at 357 West 1838 street, where the was stopping.

As Kelly Miller would say, D Hawkins is upright, downstairs, and looks every man straight in the eye as long as he faces him; and he will look every man straight in the eye if Dr Hawkins has been selected it can be authoritatively said that his church influence an delose alliance with Bishop Carly played part in the selection. He has been lifted to the attention of the powers that be through the same influence directed at the three persons to second Hoover's nomination, which influence absolutely has no connection with the A. M. E. Church. Among the "Afric Repub" notables at the Whitalew was the irresponsible Rostoc Conkling Simonson of Chicago, Louisville, Memphis and his wife, Jill, who all things unto all men, had "Uncle Joe" Watson, Ben Jeff Davis Nemesis in tow, and presented him to all as "My friend, Mr. Watson the Republican National" Committeeman for Georgia!"

Mrs. McCarrier was held without bail for complicity, and Blunt was placed under arrest on a charge of assault made by the woman. The wounded man hovered near death for several days, but has gradually improved. Monday he was arrested by the woman's complicity in a plot to murder him, the assault charge against him was withdrawn by her lawyer, Frank E. Hayden.

Virginia Union To Get $50,000 From General Ed.Board Richmond, Va.—"Our racial advance depends upon the development of a cult of competence and a cult of beauty," declared Charles S. Johnson, editor of "Opportunity" and director of social research of the National Urban League, New York, in his commencement address to seventy candidates for degrees and diplomas at Virginia Union University. The school auditorium in Coburn Hall was much too small for the crowd which overflowed into the ante-rooms and corridors for the twenty-ninth commencement. A feature was the academic processional from Pickford Hall to Coburn Hall headed by the marshal, Prof. C. T. Russell and composed of the candidates for the degree, the faculties of the university, the trustees, candidates for honorary degrees, the faculties of the university, the trustees, candidates for honorary degrees, the president of the university, with the commencement orator.

P, King, for years president of the Wayland University and the other in the college department awarded by the Richmond Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Washington, D. C.—According to a bulletin issued by the Department of Commerce, under date of June 29, the census of religious bodies which is being conducted by the Census Bureau shows that while there has been an increase in the number of churches, there has been a falling off in membership of the A. M. E. Church during the ten-year period from 1916 to 1926. The census figures show that in 1916 there were 6,663 churches as against 6,708 in 1926, but that the membership figures for 1916 showed 545,335 members as compared with 545,814 in 1926. National Convention G. O. P.-In Retrospect Editor of The New York Age: The Republican National Convention just closed at Kansas City was An examination of the detailed statement issued by the Census Bureau shows that the falling off in membership was almost entirely in southern states, including North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas, particularly. Missouri also shows a decrease, falling from 13,616 to 11,179 in the ten-year period. 31,097 Leas In So. Ca. The largest loss of membership was in South Carolina, which fell from 90,469 to 59,372, a decrease of 31,097. North Carolina dropped from 20,433 to 18,453; Georgia was second to South Carolina, as the 69,295 membership in 1916 was only 74,149 in 1926, a difference of 15,146. Tennessee had 19,109 in 1920 as compared with 23,497 in 1910; the figures for Mississippi were 26,133 in 1916, 22,493 in 1926; Arkansas, 30,457 in 1916, 25,249 in 1926. On the other hand, whereas the value of church properties in 1910 totaled $14,631,929, reported by 6,232 churches in 1920 the reports from 5,829 churches show the property values (including furniture and equipment in both cases); $32,099,549. The churches reported in 1916 by 6,516 churches amounted to $31,415,395. 6,492 churches in 1926 reported expenditures of $7,600,161. Of the 6,708 churches, reporting in 1926, 1,599 were located in towns or cities with 2,500 or more inhabitants, with membership of 227,265, while 5,109 were in rural communities, with membership of 273,049. The decreased membership appears to obtain in Sunday schools as well, as in 1916 there were reported 45,350 schools with 311,051 scholars, as compared with 43,573 schools and .288,247 scholars in 1926. The Census Bureau states that these figures are subject to correction. Houston Lynching Editor of The New York Age: Houston stages a lynching as a sort of "semi-final" to the Democratic National Convention. This is certainly bad advertising for Texas, the South and the whole Democratic party. The officials of Texas seem sensitive because of that bad advertising; in other words, it is not so much the lynching as it is the inportunity of the affair, that angers the officials. They would like to punish this particular set of lynchers for not showing better taste. The feeling is somewhat like this: "If these fellows just had to lynch a Negro, why in thunder couldn't they wait until after Convention as was, and maybe in November? Or why couldn't the lynching have taken place somewhere else, not in the very city where the Convention crowds are even now assembled." Any lynchers so bone-headed as that, might to be punished. That is just where the leadership of the South fail: It cannot see that the only way to insure against an inopportune lynching, is to prevent all lynchings at all times and in all places. For example, just one month before this Houston lynching, a Negro was, lynched in a little town known as Center, Texas. If some of those who had lynched "Buddy" Evins on May 21 in Center were now serving in the Texas pentitary, then these eight men in Houston would never have dared to commit another such crime. If the law had been enforced and the criminals punished in the former affair, those tempted to committ this crime would have-hesitated. No criminal would expect to "get away" with anything in Houston that he could not even get away with in Center. Note that: Both in Center and in Houston the Negroes were charged with killing some white man, and that nobody has yet proved that the Negro did not kill merely in self-defense in both instances. Everybody who knows anything about "race relations," knows that when a man of the helpless and hopeless minority people kills a man of the dominant people, nine cases out of ten it is a pure animal act of self-defense on the part of the man of the weaker race. But whatever the crime the only way to avoid the embarrassment of inconvenient lynchings in Texas is to lynch allogger and everywhere. We would respectfully insinuate that if the Governor and the State of Texas had taken as effective action against the Center lynchers as they threaten to take against the Houston lynchers, there would have been no Houston lynchers. WILLIAM PICKENS. National Convention- G. O. P.-In Retrospect Editor of The New York Age: The Republican National Convention just closed at Kansas City was unique in many ways, but probably one of the most striking features of the big conclave was the new position occupied by the Negro. While there were fewer Negro delegates on roll from the South there were more from the North All, told, the number of Negro delegates was about the same, as 1920 and 1924. They came the great recognition given the lily-whites. This was the first time in the history of the party that the so-called lily-whites factions 'from the South were given recognition, as $_{5}$ was seen in the seating of the lily-whites from Louisiana, Florida and Texas. One of the high spots of the convention was the work done by S. D. Redmond of Jackson, Miss; as a member of the Platform Committee. He did not get all he wanted but made a fight and got a strong plank against lynching—doubtless the strongest in the history of the Republican party. An attempt was made to amend the plank on the enforcement of the 14th Amendment, by locking on the 14th and 15th Amendment; but it was voted down, though it got a pretty good vote. Mr. Redmond made a great effort to have the American marines withdraw from Hayti. He called attention to the fact that the present Hayti constitution permitting foreigners to own land in Hayti was passed under American guns, and that thousands of natives are being disposed of their lands by the mad rush of Americans. It was argued by others that we must be consistent, that to withdraw now would be repudiate the present administration, but they were told that American occupation of Hayti was not a Republican policy; that it was initiated by Woodrow Wilson, and could not possibly be termed a Republican policy. Mr. Daniels of Savannah represented Georgia on the Platform Committee. Dr. John F. Hawkins made a masterly effort in seconding the nomination of Secretary Hoover, and John T. Risher acquitted himself well as an assistant secretary of the convention. The colored citizens of Kansas City tried to leave nothing undone in the matter of attempting to entertain them. They are indeed a hospitable set. AN OBSERVER Newark, N. J.—The Most Worshipful King, Solomon, Grand Lodge, A. F. and A.

LICENSED PIANO MOVER GARNER'S EXPRESS LOCAL and LONG DISTANCE MOVING BAGGAGE CALLED FOR and DELIVERED Trips Down Town Daily Main Office: 79 West 131st Street-Harlem 5662 Branch Office: 145 Nagla Avenue-Lorraine 7300 The usual results of treatment of infantile seizures are discouraging and disappointing. The reasons for this are not hard to find: (1) before treatment is instituted a diagnosis of the cause must be made. The modern methods of diagnosis, though simple to perform, are expensive; and it is in most cases a hopeless task to convive the mother that so "simple" a condition is worth the price since (2) the child will outgrow the condition anyway, and (3) the time-honored method of treatment is by ointments. (4) Even with modern methods it may take three months or more for a complete cure. For sometime it has been known that foods play an important part in eczema, and so fats were cut out of the diet, or cereals particularly oatmeal. Now eczema frequently develops in the breast-fed baby who has not had oatmeal. Again the eczema may appear around 7-10 months when the infant is being accustomed to solid food. Here the cause may be readily suspected but not proven from the vomitting and diarrhea and skin changes which are repeated when certain foods are given. There may be, urticaria (see last week's article) eczema or asthma following the injection of cereal, vegetable, or egg. Why? Doctors speak of protein-sensitization. The assumption is that certain food substances which are not completely digested by the weak juices of the infants stomach and intestines enter the blood and cause the general organism to react in the ways indicated. A method of skin tests has been devised which indicates the foods which are responsible for this condition. Is it not surprising that an exclusively breastfed infant might give a positive action to egg of cocoa or milk or wheat products? In what way was this child sensitized? Undoubtedly from the food the mother had eaten in some way was con- tained in the child through her milk. Now, from the standpoint of-treatment to depend solely upon ointments as mothers insist in spite of the explanations of their physicians, and thus depriving the doctor of the knowledge which would enable him to regulate her diet also, is of course to court defeat. It was shown in one series of seventy cases that 41 per cent gave a positive skin test to foods; 12 per cent were doubtful and the remainder negative. At this point we may say that oatmeals doubtful or negative reactions may become positive at (1) a later date or (2) if more tests are made. In this series egg gave a positive reaction in 30 per cent of the cases, potatoes 20 per cent, codfish 12 per cent, wheat 9 per cent, cumin 5 per cent, casein (milk protein) 16 per cent; lactalbumin (another milk protein) 11 per cent. And of interest also is the fact that the mother did not react to these same tests. We have in mind a child who was covered practically from head to feet with eczema whose mother drank two quarts of cocoa a day. The eczema cleared up miraculously when the coca was stopped to delude you. Many cases defy detection. We recall a doctor's baby on whom we did sixty tests all of which were negative. The eczema cleared in time after a course of "come and go". Again it was shown by one investigation that children free from eczema, urticaria or asthma, gave negative reactions to the tests which agrees with the theory of causation. So, we believe, (1) that in all cases of eczema skin tests should be done, (2) we believe that it is conservative to say that fully one half of the cases may be more rapidly improved if this measure is instituted. (3) We believe that regulation of the diet is an essential part of the treatment. (4) We believe that ointments are of value even if doubtful for they do seem to allay the local irritation. (5) We plead for a more hearty and appreciative co-operation on the part of mothers with their doctors in the treatment of infantile eczema. Saturday, June 30, 1928 ABIES" G. SMITH HEALTH IS HERE BY DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association You Owe This To Your Children There are many children's diseases which we cannot prevent. The best we can do is to keep our children healthy, so that they will have a greater resistance with which to fight. And we can give them good care during illness in order to safeguard them against serious complications or after effects. But there is at least one disease of childhood which can be prevented. That is anaemia. Every parent may save his child from this menace of childhood by having him immunized with toxin-anit-toxin. All deaths from diphtheria may be prevented if parents will learn the importance of having their children made immune to the disease. Three injections of toxinantitoxin, given a week apart, will make a child safe. They do not harm children, make him ill. Children should be immunized as soon after they are six months old as possible. Children under six years are most susceptible to the disease. If your children have not been made safe from diphtheria have them immunized at once. Take them to your family physician. If you cannot afford to pay private physician's fees, call the Department of Health and learn the location of the baby health, station nurse you need, and have them immunized free at such a station. $300,000 TO BE SPENT FOR ALA. STATE NORMAL New Buildings Planned With Modern Equipment, Landscaping Montgomery, Ala.—An inspection of the 'Alabama State Normal School preliminary to the expenditure of upwards of $300,000 on new buildings and equipment was made by Governor-Bob Graves, Dr. R. Eildwell, state superintendent of education, and J. F. Dawson, of Olmstead Brothers, landscape engineers. They went over the plant and the property at the present site and visited several new sites to look over their possibilities for proposed development. President H. Council Trenholm states that more than $300,000 is to be expended on new buildings and equipment during the next three or four years; the state appropriation amounts to $200,000 and the General Education Board of New York has made available as much as $125,000. The building program is to include a men's dormitory, an administration building, a teacher-training building and dormitory for women. The firm of Olmstead Brothers who planned the present Capitol grounds at Washington, have been called in to draw landscape plans for the twenty-year development program. 2573 EIGHTH AVENUE Between 137th and 138th St. 40-42-44 WEST 135th St. 309 WEST 120th STREET 232 WEST 122nd STREET 129 WEST 137th STREET 311 and 313 WEST 119th St. 47-49 WEST 139th STREET 121 EDGECOMBE AVE. 323 WEST 141st STREET 140 WEST 142nd STREET Apply Philip A.

Washington, D.

Howard Inaugurates New Foreign Student Policy Washington, D. C.—Howard University has inaugurated a new foreign policy which lends every possible encouragement to foreign students. It demands the same requirements for admission and also the same standard of work as is expected American students. Every possible effort is exerted to stimulate the finest possible cooperation between foreign students, representing the different countries, and American students in residence at the University. The Carribean Club, which formerly consisted of foreign students, has taken on the international aspect, including American as well as foreign students. These students have secured living accommodations in what is designated as an International House, where the finest kind of fellowship will be developed and all students will have the benefit of the different points of view. While Howard draws its students from ten different foreign countries, such students are always encouraged to return to their native countries where they may render such service as that for which they have been prepared. Under the policy of President Mordecai W. Johnson, American Negroes, representing the various professions, are being encouraged to consider Africa especially as a field of great usefulness. Under this plan it is hoped that not only native dentists, but many American Negroes, trained in dentistry, medicine and pharmacy, as well as religion and the several arts and sciences, will go to Africa as missionaries in their particular field THE ALLEN HOUSE 1172 West 100th Street For the comfort of the public.

SUURIEOY IN THE COURTS, It would seem that courtesy and'ée- corum should be’ the “appropriate envir- onment for the administration’ of justice, but a glance at one of the busy courts in this city would prove that such is not always the case.” Gruffness and curt re- sponses on the part of attendants, to- gether, with the bullyragging of meek witnesses by the lawyers on both sides, are too frequent to occasion surprise. ‘As a rule, however,’ the judges who preside Lover these thills for grinding out justice, with but few exceptions, strive to, pre- serve the amenities of legal procedure. They frequently intervene to save a badgered witness from abuse and confu- sion, and endeavor to instill in their at- tendants .a, sense of their duty to treat the public decently and courteously. In view of this attitude of the major: ity of the judges, it is the more regret- table that it, should: be ‘necessary to’ ré- feF to the notorious exception presented by the justice of a municipal court in an uptown district. This judge is in the hab- it of venting his spleen upon lawyers and litigants alike, whenever he takes a dis- like to their appearance or statements. Uncalled for excoriations and undeserved insultg are everyday outbreaks from the bench over which he presides. In the presence of a reporter for this paper, he told a lawyer who had protested against his ruling, that he was “acting like a cheap bum.” s His most flagrant outbreak. however, which was told in an affidavit handed to The sAge, was- against a respectable wo- mam who-was called into his court in a landlord and tenant case... The woman offered as a reason for the non-payment of rent, that it was conditioned upon the landlord making necessary repairs and putting the afjartment in sanitary condi- tion, But the judge espoused the cause of the landlord in & violent tirade, in which he is alleged to have abused the womap and thréatened to throw her out of court. To cap the climax the justice ‘was quoted as declaring: “You need nev- ‘et come here expecting justice. A wo- man like you will never get it.” This may have been a true enough ex- position of the justice’s position, but it was hardly the right kind of judicial at- titude. The municipal courts come into the closest contact with the greaat mass ‘of the common people in this city. They are provided for the purpose of adjudicat- ing the ordinary differences that arise be- tween landlord and tenant, and are ex- pected to preserve the rights of both parties, Ifa tenant has a valid reason for refiising to pay tent, that defence should be heard and its sufficiency de- cided. There is no excuse for any judge to abuse cotinsel or either party to a suit, for insisting upon their legal rights to interpose a defense to an action, The language alleged to have heen used in this case was entirely unbefitting the bench, even if the evidence warranted an unfavorable decision. “Habitual conduct of this kind should be sufficient cause for the removal of a judge from his position, ‘as it indicates his incapacity’ to, adminis- ter justice. : - The investigation sought for in this case should he searching and thorough, DEMOCRACY AND LYNCHING. ‘The Springfield Republican, one of the oldest and strongest independent news: papers published in the New England States, has made the astounding discov- ery that the Democratic leaders can be worried over the lynching of a Negro, In a news dispatch, dated Houston, June 20, it said: os As sovn as the news of the lynching here today got around leading Democrats, who ar here to attend the national Democratic con- tention, which wilt open next Tuesday, wen inty conferences" t0 decide what they ‘can do ahowt ity “They are trying to figure Out ways af offsetting tie bad effect that this lynching il have en. the southern votes atthe.

They know the Republicans will make a lot ont of it during the cam- painn, : Sere » Pexbout. the oaly thing the Democrais could think of to offset the effect of the handing is to put a strong antilynching plank: in the Demrocratie platform. . ‘Fewterday the, Democratic leaders here’ had decitled not to have any planks in, the plat- form. Just a brief declaration of political faith was all they. thought pecesmary. But now comes a dead Negro with a rope azound’Rs neck and offers them plank tht they feel they must accept, So Robert Pow- ell, whom 0 one ever-heard of before, has | farted. the platform huilding here.

Bess was agair arrested ard sent -back.to the peniten. tiary for “safe keeping,” after a couple of ‘weeks’ liberty, while the grand jury made a further investigationof the case. I seems that the woman was induced tc make a second affidavit, asserting tha she signed the first paper-without know: ing its contents. It was also stated. tha she was given fifty dollars to sign the paper declaring Bess innocent.. In the second affidavit the woman said in part: “I have not at any time signed any paper to release Ben Bess from the penitentiary. 1, did sign a paper saying that I forgave him for the wrong fie ha¢ done me, or that is what I thought I signed. I can’t read at all, and that is how I understood the paper when it was read to me in the Probate Judge's office.” ‘Fhe affidavit reiterated that Bess * was “guilty of the charge.” The man charged. with paying the ft ty dollars for the first affidavit was not called before the grand jury, but he told the newspaper men that, his only: inter- est in the case was sympathy for Bess, who had traded at his store. He denied that the contents of the first affidavit had been misrepresented and said that the paper had been read to the woman in the presence of her sop. The pardon issued to Bess, it is said, will hold good’ against the woman's charge, but a warrant has been issued against him on another charge that he attacked a fellow prison- er with a knife. Evidently strong influences have been at work ‘to keep Bess inthe penitentiary, for his admitted offence of committing adultery with a white woman. The con- tradictory affidavits of the complaining witness would seem to make her testi- mony worthless. The further charge of felonious assault and battery’ looks as if it had been trumped up to fit the occa- sion. Perhaps the penitentiary is the only safe place for Ben Bess in the State of South Carolina. BRASS RING PHILOSOPHY. .The daily papers last week published ‘avnote left for her mother, by a girl o twenty-three years, named Mildred Smith, whose body was recovered from the East River. ‘The suicide was a Ne- gro laundry worker and had disappeared the Saturday previous..

The comitige most talked of was the Episcopal Commit- fee, which examines. tries (if need be) and assigns bishops. The public hhesrd a great deal about charges of eoft, maladministration, ete. But the truth is that although the Epis onal Committee made the most rad- ical changes ever. made in its hise tory, alter examining every bishop privately and in executive” session, it did not find enough basis for mis- condect to warrant bringing any bls- from before the General_Conference. (And the Episcopal Committee is composed of about 90 men, elected Se leaders of their conferences. by the 7500 ministers they repre ent in both Easterns and Western Hem- isphere.) Not only that. but the salary of all bishops was raised twenty-five per cent, and the Bjslrops most criticised were given the. best districts.

He asked Christ was spoken in of both the Old and the New Testaments and that the Jews expected Him, but as He did not come as they wanted Him to, nor look, as they thought He ought to look, they became prejudiced and would not instruct Him.

A cordial welcome to everyone On account of the rain we were compelled to forego our open air service and to be content with our usual service indoors. Rev. John H. Johnson chose his subject, for the 11 o'clock service, "God is Great, submit to God," which he delivered in his usual pleasing, manner, with many details. He said that Man in all of his glory, pomp and grandeur must submit to God, and he may do so only as a defeatist, yet it is much better to submit and acknowledge His greatness. He added that a modest species of life is to see a person, once prosperous, strong in mind, and body, brought to the point of submitting to God as a last result. There is no reason to admit to his own weakness, and the omnipotence of God. Dr. C. S. Shirley and Counselor R. E. Casey made short addresses outlining the plans of the building committee. The flowers bring us new members and the pledges continue to come in for the building fund.

The children's donation of $28.17 was given for the building fund. St. Paul Bapt. Church Owing to the final rehearsal of the play, "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party," the B. Y. P. U. was not so well attended on Wednesday night, but the students, Johnson, with her sister and mother, the pastor, and others, were out just the same. Thursday night proved to be rainy, but this did not prevent the participants in the play from being able to keep the people away. The play, conducted by Miss Julia A. Booker, was a complete success, so much, so that it has been decided to repeat it in the near future. Had a deacon Hammond had charge of the meeting, with the faithful few present, and taking a hearty part in the service. Sunday morning the pastor preached on "The Prodigial's Resource Book" and did music. The Sunday school took place at close of the service, wheed instead of the review, the lesson was taught to the several classes as usual, owing to the fact, as stated by the superintendent, that the education had not reached the school. In the evening, Rev. James Moore, assistant pastor of Union Baptist Church, who had been engaged by the pastor, preached a long sermon, "Sold To The Devil." The pastor at the same hour preached the annual sermon to the James H. Ferrell Lodge, F. & A. M in the interior of New York City. He reported a great service in that field, where he labored as pastor for more than six years, before coming to New York City. We lost one of the older members of the church. Clara Banks James. She had been sick a long time, and passed away Monday night. Her funeral was held from the church Thursday day at 2 p.m. Washington is home again, after being for some weeks in the hospital. Calvary M. E. Church Rev. E. W. Rakestraw of Mt. Calvary M. E. Church preached an impressive sermon from Psalms 62:1-2. "Blessed is he whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord inputeth not iniquity and in whose spirit there is no guile." Rev. Rakestraw said God thinks more of the man who the man who deceives and pretends to be good, using the church as a cloak. After all the happiness lost through sin where we broke the law of God is gained through blessedness of forgiveness if we return to God as the Prodigial son. Rev. Moultrie of Ebenezer M. E. Church, Florida, delivered an interesting sermon in the evening from Matthew 19:16-24. He explained we must remember words we must be careful to we must be careful how we talk He said no one is wholly good and no one is wholly bad. You may be 95 per cent good but—you may be a good preacher but—or a good steward but—for one thing, Jesus said you must sell but and give of your weakness, come to Him and we learn again. The pulpit of Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church was filled by Rev Morris on Sunday morning. The message delivered by the minister was timely, and enriched the large woodchipers with new religious experience. The Sunday school session was held at the usual hour. At three o'clock, the senior choir, under direction of E. L. Payn, and the membership went in large numbers to the Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, the seat of the M. A. Zion Church, a conference of the A. M. E. Zion time Rev. W. C. Brown delivered the afternoon message. Apparently all remained at the Mother Church for the closing service of the day and the last session of this conference, for when the appointments were read and the name of the C. C. Church was succeeded himself as pastor of the Fleet Street Church, there was a roaring applause which lasted for many minutes, while other members tripped hastily up the isle and showered him with bouquets more also with trinkets hearing other able gifts. The membership of this church rejoices not alone in the return of Rev. W. C. Brown to this city, but people in all walks of life have learned to love and respect him, and the community in general has accorded one record in paying tribute to this beloved Christian gentleman. The Christian Endeavors closed their activities for the season on Tuesday evening with a splendid program arranged for the occasion. Children's Day will be observed in this church Sunday, July first, and will be presented at the morning service. An appropriate program has been prepared and will be presented at the Sunday service. Members of the various departments. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church Presiding. Elder. C. Nyomolo, of the Queenstown District of the A. M. E. Church in South Africa, was the speaker Sunday morning. He was greeted by an audience that occupied every seat in the spacious auditorium. His text was Revelations 20:15: "The rest of the dead are gone, and years are finished. This is the first resurrection." The speaker pointed out that all of us are travelers who are on a long, four- THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY The Rev.

This journey is heavenward and it is up to us to live a righteous life in order that we may obtain the goal of the righteous. He advanced the thought that those who have not lived right will not arise at the first call of the angel, will sleep for a thousand years. When they do arise the righteous will assist in their judgment. SPLENDID WORK AT EMANUEL CHURCH BY REV. NICHOLS Several people joined the church when the invitation was extended. The evening services the Men's Club program the program. Z. Davis, a member of the senior chair, who had arranged the program, acted as master of ceremonies. It consisted of music and one number of Amos who took books. Mr. Harris, soprano; Mrs. L. Drayton, soprano; B. F. Smith, H. Goss, Mr. McClane and others. The members of the Fleet Street A. M.

Dr. Tyler, "Our New Past," also made a short address, and a former Brooklynite, but now pastor of an A. M. E. Church in Los Angeles, Cal., was a visitor. His mother is one of our oldest and most beloved members. The Rev. Galt of the church also a visitor. Each gave short talks at the morning services. The flowers in the pulpit were in memory of Mrs. Mary Glover, and were given by her son-in-law and were given, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wrich Mrs. Sadie Merrick-Titus lost her grand mother last week. Dr. Tyler, who was returned for an and a half year, mended to map out his program for this year and from all indications it will be a banner year along with the provided every member gets behind and works for this program. Siloam Presbyterian Ch. The discourse at the morning hour of worship at Silogam was from the text found in Matthew and particular stress being laid on "Free" (free from freey) give. Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, brought out vividly the point that because of this gift of power, which is spiritual, the greater the obligation of duty to men, Christianity first works in a change of heart, works at the root of our being, affection and will, look upon the world through the eyes of love. The working over of our hearts is a virtue. When Christ comes into our hearts new interests are created. The Bible school met in session at 1:15 p. m. Next Sunday every pupil with every teacher is expected to be present in full. The evening hour of worship was observed at the Official Organization Day Service. All boards of the church, with organizations, were out in full, together with the unorganized men and women of the church with their friends, of the organizations made grateful to the board of the church, many of the organizations making presentations to the board at this service. Both the pastor and the board of trustees made grateful acknowledgement and expressed gratitude to the officers for their labor. This service marked the close of the evening hour of worship for the season. Next Sunday morning the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be administered. This will make the preparation of the church the occasion of the church by the Presbytery and will be the beginning of the preparation for the observance of the 80th anniversary next year. The second Sunday night in July the Chapel of Jamaica, the chapel of Siloam, will be set up and constituted. This event marks an important milestone in the history of Siloam. The next and enthusiasm is increasingly growing in the setting up of the nursery in the fall where mothers may leave their small children in charge of those who will both take care of and enter them while they are attending worship. The Daily Vacation Bible School opens on July 2 and continues until August 3. Plans are almost completed for the annual outing to the church. The board members every effort to make it exceed the success of all former years. Bethany Baptist Church Despite the threatening weather there was a goodly crowd out on Sunday to both services.

But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect test of Dr. Washington's work and commitment.

Mrs. Anna Crittendon, Post Graduate Hospital; Mrs. Susan Smith, 721 Atlantic avenue. THE directs attention to the local institutions of this church, period covering little, more than two years. This church was organized in 1900 and for twenty-six years showed perceptible growth in the former pastor, the Rev Thomas H. Lawrence died in 1918 the present pastor, Mr. Nichols was selected by Bishop Heard to serve the unexpired term. He came to Emanuel Church in February that year, and has been reappointed at each successive annual conference since that time. Emanuel Church, a time when generalisation, with a membership of 18 but under Rev. Nichols's ministration, the congregation grew to more than a thousand communicants in the past two years. With this growing body of worshippers, the former quarrels were entirely inadequate, the pastor relented in the purchase of the church edited at 37-41 West 119th street, formerly occupied by a wealthy, white congregation, and the property was acquired at a cost of $60,000. $40,000 In Two Years. And within fourteen months der the wise and energetic direc- tion of the pastor, the officers and congregation have reduced property debt to $65,000, raised for all purposes, $40,000 in years. In the development of gov- ernment activities the church has established free medical clinic which is in operation two day- each week, with experienced pa- sicians and capable nurses in an- tendance. Plans are being de- oped for greater expansion of line of social and welfare activity. The recent session of the annual conference was noteworthy in that it brought Bishop Jones as the presiding officer for the first time, and by the last general conference to succeed Bishop William H. Heard, venerable prelate of Philadelphia, the episcopal charge of this district. Although Bishop Jones made some notable changes in the church, he retained Rev. Nichols at Emmanuel. The most outstanding of Bishop Jones' changes was the removal both presiding elders, the Rev. Montrose W. horton and S. W. Montrose W. horton and district presiding them to small pastors in Flushing and Jamaica, respectively. In assuming charge of the episcopal district, Bishop Jones is clared that character and efficiency would be the only achievement in the administration of church affairs. The Rev. Nichols is a native of South Carolina and is a graduate of Avery Institute Charleston, Howard University Washington, and Drew Theological Seminary Madison, N. J.

All those with hitting the game will readily agree it was a good game, baseball, bad break by Carlton's catcher the fourth inning spelled defeat.

Shipman of the Lalayette Theatre, he staged a benefit for Toby Joseph, the 15-year old cross-country runner, which netted more than $1,150. Through the good offices of Messrs. Loeb, Clarke and Hancock of the Durant Motor Car Company, he was able to get a $900 Durant coach for $500. "Bojangles" wired $400 to Mrs. Carrie Cotton, Joseph's mother, and gave $250 to the boyand his invalid father for traveling expenses. The proceeds from the benefit included $100 from Casper Holstein, $50 from William Holsey, and $25 from Al Brown, th popular little boxer. Miss Lela Edmonds, Mrs. Clara Patterson and Chris Huiswood, well known social figures and athletic official, also assisted in caring for Josephs and members of his party while they were in New York.

"Across To Singapore" At the Douglass Theatre "Aeros to Singapore," Ben Ames Williams" vivid drama of the sea, with Ramon Novarro as the star, is the attraction commencing Saturday at the Douglas Theatre. This much-heralded Metro-Goldwyn-Mayne drama is a vivid story of romance and adventure, laid on the high seas, in New England and in the mysterious Oriental melt-pot of Singapore. The new play is a graphic romance of the clipper ships, with Novarro as al young sailor, enmeshed in, a strange love affair which leads to dramatic adventure. Much of the picture was filmed aboard the old clipper ship "Narwah," which put to sea with the company for a lengthy Pacific cruise during which the sea scenes, including the terrific storm, the mutiny, and the attack of Oriental pirates, was filmed. Joan Crawford, noted for her work in many pictures, plays the merino and Ernest Torrence, James Curtier and Ernest Torrence, Frank Currier, Anna May Wiggin, and Wolthem, Duke Martin and others of note are in the cast. Wallace Beery-Raymond Hatton in "Life Savers" At the Lincoln Theatre The greatest human theme of the motion picture is—laughter. That's the belief of Ralph Cedar, the director who made "Wife Savers," comedy now at the Lincoln Theatre. Cedar regards it as a privilege to frame a magnificent comedy, a picture that will make the world laugh and forget care and trouble, a picture such as "Wife Savers." "Laughter is health mentally and physically," says Cedar, "if all men could laugh genuinely we would have no problem of wars between nations. There is no greater gift than humor." And further, Cedar says: "Human rights of life that are pathetic in themselves are the basis of true comedy." "In 'Wife Savers,' you see Berry as an American doughboy left behind in his comrades after the armistice to work out a debt, upon orders of his superior officer, Raymond Hatton. "You see him in moments of love, moments that border on pathos, you see him in danger. Yet all of these situations that skirt the hem of tragedy are gems of humor, made so by the odd twist of life that compels us to laugh at the man who slips on a banana peel." Supporting Beery and Hatton in this massive comedy spectacle which for fun, is in a class with "Behind Although Tobey Josephs, 15, the youngest runner in the C. G. Pyle cross-country race, was not officially a winner of one of the ten prizes, he won the hearts of the sport-loving public of Harlem and returned to his home this week more than $2,000 richer than when he arrived in the Metropolis. The one hundred dollar entry fee and the expense of securing an old Ford car in which relatives accompanied him, took practically all of the Josephs' family savings and when the race was over, the game little Negro runner found himself almost penniless and with no money with which to get back to his family in Los Angeles. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, of the "Blackbird" Company, who has done so much to aid members of his own profession, became interested in Josephs and through his influence, a midnight benefit show was staged at the Lafayette Theatre Tuesday, June 19, which attracted a large croyd and netted more than $1,000. Other friends had been interested in the young runner and one of them was Casper Holstein, wealthy fraternal man. Mr. Holstein said that he thought Josephs deserved a medal for sticking the race out to the finish, after realizing that he could not win a prize. So fitting his thoughts to action, Mr. Holstein bought a medal for the runner—a heavy gold medal set with five diamonds. This was presented to Josephs at the benefit by Alderman Moore on behalf of Mr. Holstein. The front side of the medal contained a picture of Josephs and beneath the inscription—"Tobey Joseph Cotton, 15 years of age, transcontinental endurance race, Los Angeles, Cal., to New York City." On the other side was engraved, "Presented to Tobey Joseph Cotton by Casper Holstein at Lafayette Theatre June 20, 1928, in admiration of his wonderful feat of endurance in the foot race from Los Angeles, Cal., to New York City—transcontinental." "Bojangles' had also interested the head of the Durant Motor Company in his protege and this company agreed to sell him a Durant car at several hundred dollars savings. So after the show, Josephs was taken in to the automobile company where a new car was secured for him and there was enough cash left for Robinson to send $400 to Josephs' mother and to give the runner $100 for traveling expenses home. Leaving his old Ford for the junk man, Josephs left in his new Durant declaring that he would always remember New Yorkers as the most generous people he had ever met. "The Secret Hour" at The Roosevelt Theatre The psychology of love has been so cleverly worked out in "The Secret Hour" that it becomes an unusual picture. The love psychology itself is comparatively simple, but it is handled in a human, understanding way by Pola Negri, the star; Jean Hersholt and Kenneth Thomson, the masculine leads; and Rowland V. Lee, the director. In certain respects the treatment is a little daring, yet the story is one of tremendous heart interest that comes home to every girl who longs for romance and every man who dreams of having a wonderful wife. Miss Negri portrays a girl who takes a long chance in the lottery of love. With her it is anything to escape from a life of drudgery. Hersholt is a middle-aged man who wants a young wife as a mother for his children. Kenneth Thomson is a rural gallant, imperious in his love affairs with girls. The manner in which the girl instinctively gives herself to Thomson, their midnight marriage, and the fear that Hersholt will discover their deceit, develops a strong emotional climax. the Front," "We're In the Navy Now," "Firemen Save My Child," the rather Beerery-Hakton comedies, are Za-Su, Pitts, Sally-Blane, Ford Sterling, August Tollaire, Tom Kennedy, and George X.

Marathon Dancers Draw Large Crowds To Manhattan Casino By EBENEZER RAY Despite the inclement weather of last week—as anything of the criticism hurried to me, any would be reformers of marking and "kill-joyers"—the marathon dancers who are now close on their 200th hour of continuous dancing, have drawn large crowds to the spacious hall every night. Nightly, besides the regular marathon dancing, contests are staged among the contestants, also among outsiders during the 15-minute rest. Between Saturday and Sunday evenings a vote was taken to determine the most popular couple. It resulted at follows Couple No. 11, 24 votes; No. 8, 26; No. 5, 29; No. 12, 32; No. 21, 35; No. 18, 50; No. 2, 75; No. 22, 100; No. 23, 100; No. 9, 125; No. 17, 150; No. 16, 175; No. 26, 275; No. 7, 2805. Couple No. 7—Miss Mattie Pernell Couple No. 7—Miss Mattie Pernell address as 100 West 141st street—who offer much entertainment to the guests, are well known to the patrons of the Savoy Ballroom for their interpretations of the latest creations in ballroom dancing. They are paid rapt attention by members of the Jolly Fellows Social Club, of which Snowden is a member. M. & S.

The prize of $25, presented by the management, was therefore awarded to this couple as the most popular of the contest. The female partner of Couple No. 26 is late of Florence Mills' "Blackbirds." She sings and dances well. During the early hours of Sunday morning several persons: of theatrical and night club fame visited the casino and, feted the contestants. Nine couples, of the twenty-five who started, now dance—or walk around—to the strains of John C. Smith's Orchestra and a Victor Talking Machine. Ethel Waters Given Ovation at Lafayette Ethel Waters and her new 1928 Edition of "Africana" opened a week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday and she met with a reception that was a remarkable tribute to herself and the splendid revue she heads. About every conceivable difficulty attended the opening performance. Due to an error in the railroad yards, one of the cars containing the scenery and some costumes was sent to New Jersey. The car was not located until 2:30, p.m.—far too late for the opening performance. About an hour before show time, Miss Waters suffered an attack of acute indigestion. The management of the theatre augmented the motion picture program, but before Miss Waters had recovered and before the second scenery had arrived, the theatre crowded to capacity and the audience was becoming impatient at the obvious delay. The management therefore decided to open the show with all its handicaps. Bill Robinson (Bojangles) who had come to congratulate Miss Waters on her return to the Lafayette, stepped before the footlights, explained the delay to the audience and the show proceeded. The audience soon forgot its impatience. The 1928 Edition of "Africana" was in many respects far better than anything in which Miss Waters has yet appeared. Even the lack of dozens of gorgeous costumes and of several sets of dazzling scenery was unnoticed in the magic of the splendid music, the dizzy dances, the wonderful singing, the side-splitting comedy, and Ethel Waters' wonderful performances as comedienne, dancer, singer. This is in all probability Ethel Water's last appearance in America for several years. Before the summer is over, she will be in Europe. In the niterim, she will take a much-needed rest. Earl Dancer is grateful that the revue which she now heads, and which represents the last opportunity to see the greatest colored female star, was so enthusiastically received by an audience that overflowed the Lafayette Theatre's doors...

SIGMUND SPAETH WRITES: ABOUT=- _THE COMMUNITY. CONCERT PLAN WHICH: HE HAS PRESENTED T0 HARLEM PEOPLE t a Oo In this column, issue of The Age of May 26,*comment was mnkde| ‘on the campaign being madg.by the Commuity Concert Association sof Greater New York to seeire a roster of members ainong. Harlem jes, by nicans of which the péople ofthis community might have ap oppurtamy of hearing in concert recital'the various great artists list-) fd by the Concert Association, . : ‘The plan was presented by Dr. Sigmund Spaeth, a distinguished white musician, who has yonshigh ranking through his legtures and rings on music, and especially through his work as a music critic} ind editur on various New York publications, and as author of a number of works on music, = : ;. In this column's coniment, the question was asked, “Should Har- Jen Inwtiate and Support Its Own Musical ‘Activities Instead ‘of Rally-, ing To Aid and Abgt Others?” Advantage was taken of the oppor- tunity to point out the possibilities of racial musical effort in Harlem and the advantage that would*accrue from such efforts, In’ 4 later} issue of The Age, Dgacon Johnson, wéll known face musician, head of Player's and Singers’ Musical Exchange, asked the question, “is.it Negro well-being or Negro dollars that prompts the.Community Con- cert Assocration To extend its activities inté Harlem?” And now Dr. Spaeth has written to The Age, making explanation with regard to the movement, and telling something of the plan for, conununity concerts as projected by his organization, Incidentally, I thas been explained to The Age by Mrs. Richardson, one of Dr. Spaeth’s assistants, that the organization, with offices in Steinway Hall, 113 West 57th street, is a local group, affiliated with a national! body, and that this loctl group supervises only the various district communities within the Greater New York vicinity, . Dr. Spaeth's Communication . : ‘The letter of Dr. Spaeth is as follows: x “Somne interesting comment has appeared in The Age concerning. the Community Concert Plan, which was offered to Harlem not long ago. It ip natural that there should be come misunderstanding ‘con-_ cerning the exact nature Of this plan, and since the doubters have now had their say, it may be permissible for the undersigned to contribute] a few words, as the individual most directly concerned with carrying] out the idea. 4h should be realized, that before this plan was put before the people of Harlem as a whole, it was carefully considered in several! committee meetings, by such well known indiiduals’as J. Rosamond Johnson, James’ Weldon Johnson, Mrs, David I. Martin, Mrs: Grayce Kellogs, Miss Minnie Brown, Dr. Melville Charlton, Edward Marget- son, W.-C, Handy, Mme. Marié Selika, "Reginald Bean, ete. It was then further discussed in two mcetings of the Minister's Association, and by various public-spirited groups of citizens. The consensus of opinion’ seemed to be that it had great possibilities for Harlem, but that the colored people themselves would have to take the lead and do the active work of making it a reality. “The offices of the Community Concert Association ih Steinway Hall were put at the disposal uf the local committee, and a goadly amount of literature was printed and sent out, all without any ex- pense to those interested. My personal services have been given sev- eral times; and arevstill-at the“disposd “of the“community tf desired. “The Community Cofcert Plan has two objects: First,-to organ- ize local audiences so that any community may have the opportunity to hear great music, at small cost, without any siecessity for under] writing or guarantees, and without any danger of deficits; second, to give sume‘of the less known therouglily worthy artists a chance to appear before representative audiences, in conjunction with the recog- nized performers of the concert stage. In the community of Harlem, this would be particularly significant, as it is known that there ar many splendid talents among the colored musicians, deserving imme- date recognition, arid requiring only a fair hearing. Such perform:, ce would be selected for the concerts by your local committee, on the basis of merit alone. If they scored the success that is to be-ex- pected, there is every reason to believe that these public appearances! would lead to really distinguished carcers, such as are being pursued at present by such artists as Roland Hayes, Paul Robeson, and others. “The Community Concert Plan is noi in any sense 2 money- waking proposition, and there is to be no profit to anyone except the artisty and the audience, Artists of both races would be paid their] regular concert fées and through sound prelinunary organization, the Isteners would have a chance io hear this inusie at a very low price, representing inefely the ‘payment of annual dues, limited: to $3 at the outside ‘This means less than ten cents per week, to bé spent on kood music throughout the year. “The number of concerts and their usportance would depend entirely on the number of menibers secured.| ‘The bixxer the association, the bigger and more significant the con- certs themselves would be, The plan is gorgeously simple in gvery Was. and represents the only safe and sane method of developing good music in a comenunity, as has already been proved in nearly 200 centres all over the country. “Ihe writer refuses to believe that Harlem does not possess at least ame thousand actual or potehtial music-lovers, who can well aiford ty join such an association, He believes also that there are cnough willing workers in Harlem to see that this potential audience 1s reached by letter or telephone or im person, for itis only in this was that the actual membership can be secured. There are-cnough well known people already willing to take the lead in the inovement, bat they cannot do-it all alone. If there ure (o Ge misundérstatdings, doubts, petty jealousies, and persoal prejudices, it7ivoiuld béslar Bet- ler ty deny the whole matter now, before any harin has beet done.| Harlem 1s quite capable of developing such an association with- out any sustside help whatever, But some stimulus is generally re- auiredd tw overcome’the natural’ inertia of human beings. If this stim- uly is now sufficient, and the organization is ready to proceed andes ty own momentum, the writer will be more than happy i step aude, and merely stand reany to offer service when it may be needed. and to supply'the necessary equipment for office routine, | “Many of the readers of this paper are honestly interested in the Lommnmts Concert Plai, they will coufer a favor by communicating dire th, with Mrs, David L Martin at the Martin-Smith Music School, IO West Moth stecet, or with the writer at Steinway Hall. * (Sighed) “SIGMUND SPAETH" si Sanday, July Jvat the H-o'elock service of worship, De, Mel- Vex Chython, AA.

LOUIS, MO., U.B.A. PARIS CLARION CALL IS SOUNDED BY DR. ROBERT R. MOTON "Atlanta, Ga.—"America has a supreme opportunity to show the world that two races—radically different can live side by side in peace and friendship and work out their destiny together in mutual helpfulness," said Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, before an interracial commencement that packed and overran Sisters' Chapel of Spelman College. "We have not yet learned fully how to do it," continued Dr. Moton, "but thousands of sincere people of races are working at it honestly, and encouraging progress is being made." Taking as his text the parable of the Good Samaritan as illustrating the second of Jesus' great laws, the law of neighborly as itself, Dr. Motton writes that the parable applies perfectly to the interracial situation in America today, and made a powerful plea for an unselfish, Christlike love of humanity that will make each race more tolerant of each other, a attitude toward the other. Such an attitude, he insisted, offers the only hope for the solution of the interracial problem. It will work and nothing else will. he sard, basing it on many striking incidents from his own observation and experience. "If I could keep only one of Jesus two great laws," said Dr. Moton. I would choose to keep the second; for very much doubt if there was a very much doubt man may really love and see God by loving and serving his fellowmen. Whether you can measure up to that standard even though your neighbor be your enemy, is the test of both your education and your religion for the primary purpose of getting along to get along together in friendly helpfulness. Dr. Moton spoke in high terms of the interracial movement of the hundreds of Southern women who have gone on record in condemnation of lynchism of a fair deal in these relations. Sharon, S. C.

C. was one of the conspicuous figures in the group, and he remained here for several days renewing friendly acquaintance with those of his classmates who came to the Golden Jubilee. The class of 1878 included a number of men who have attained high ranking in public life, civilly, politically and commercially. Among the number here for the Golden Jubilee were Frank W. Stearns of Boston perhaps the most intimate friend of President Coolidge, and Frank L. Babbok, N. W. President of the class, whose wife is a member of the famous Pratt family, whose wealth is based on Astral oil holdings. Mr. Babbott is connected with important educational and commercial enterprises in Greater New York. The-class of 1878 was winner of the trophy trophy presented the class having the largest percentage in its membership at the commencement. Fourteen classes, of the period from 1868 to 1927, were represented.

He may still enjoy the various activities of the group, but only in the role of enlooker. The insistent call for youth excludes him from any participation in these activities. He becomes an alien where he once was a native. 'Tis true, if he is a member in good standing in his sick and death association, which is the P. P. B. A, he is a beneficiary of its payments, but in all the others, he becomes a pass' person. But this manner of treating old porters is due for a change if the embryonic movement, headed by retired Pullman porters, George L. Ford and William Jenkins, material These two ex-porter are advocating a movement to form an association of veteran and retired porters of the Pullman service. The object of the proposed association is two-fold: First, it is to be an association to aid retired Pullman porters; secondly it is to be an organization similar in social character to the G. A. R. of America. One of the plans proposed is to hold a reunion each year of all retired Pullman porters throughout the United States. This is to be one of its social features. The beneficial features are to be ways and means by which the Pullman porter, when retired from active service, will be better provided for than he is at the present time: Since the P. P. B. A. makes no provision for its members in the way of a pension annuity, and since the pension given retired porters by the Pullman Company is not very large, the porter, unless he has been exceptionally frugal during his working years, finds it extremely difficult to make ends meet when he is retired. Such an organization as proposed would be of inestimable benefit to retired porters. Not only would it be of economic benefit, but it would help them to keep in touch with each other. This contact would be the means of tilievating some of the loneliness which invariably comes to man when he has reached the evening of life. The movement is a commendable one. The only fault to find with it is that it has not been proposed before now. While the plans for its consummation haven't assumed any definite shape as yet, the idea back of it ought to be of sufficient import to recommend itself to all well-binking porters, who are making the Pullman service their life's work. In this connection, the porter who gives any thought to the future must realize that few men working for wages can save enough from such savings, regardless of how substantial they may be, to maintain themselves when they have arrived at the age of retirement. Even workers with munificent salaries find it necessary to resort to other ways of augmenting their nest egg other than those from salary income. The common opinion, of course, is that any man who cannot lay aside a competence sufficient for old age, after twenty or twenty-five years of active service, should go where he rightly belongs—the poor house. To some men, such a fate is undoubtedly merited, but not all. The rearing of large families has been the millstone of many toilers of the laboring class, while others of this class have been handled in various other ways. Certainly the average railroad worker cannot accumulate an annuity of sufficient proportion from his wages alone to take care of himself and family when he reaches the age of retirement. Most of the railroad employees, outside of porters, waiters and others of this class, have organizations in which a pension fund is one of their features. Members of such organizations, when retired, become beneficiaries of the pension fund of their association, as well as beneficiaries of the pension plan of the railroad for which they worked. The two pensions combined make a tidy whole. There is reason to believe that if the porters give this retired porters movement the support necessary for its formation, the Pullman Company's aid could be enlisted in helping the movement, the same as in the case of the porters sick and death benefit organization. Letters or other communications relative to the proposed association may be sent to George L. Ford, 68 Edgecombe Avenue, New York City. This column would like to hear from some of the veterans on this subject. Notes of Interest Picked Up Here and There Mrs. Sara Price Patton, daughter of Joseph W. Price, a dean of the porters in the New York district, is one of the successful contestants in the N. A. A. C. P. campaign contest for a trip to California during the convention of this association in the Golden Gate State. The convention will be the nineteenth annual conference of this organization for the protection of Negro rights, and will be held in Los Angeles beginning the week of July 3rd. Several weeks ago, this column had an article on Pullman porters as opportunists. It was stated in that article that there were many porters in the Pullman service who did not expect or hope for any future for themselves, but had worked and toiled that their children might represent them in the worthwhile things of life. Mrs. Patton is a concrete example of that assertion. Everyone who is acquainted with Joe Price knows of the sacrifices he has made that his daughter Sari might take her place in the world of Negro progress, and those who know this pretty and efficient young business woman know that her father's sacrifices have not been in vain. Mrs. Patton is one of the few young Negro women who are making good in the commercial life of Harlem. As manager of the Madame Walker's Manufacturing and hair dressing establishment in this city, she has proven her worth and ability to handle the problems connected with the supervision of this prosperous enterprise. It is not saying too much, in our opinion, to assert that she deserves her fortune in being one of the winning contestants in the trip-to-California contest. And while speaking of California, we are reminded of a card which came to us recently from Billy Robinson, the Christian Scientist, who is Pullman souporing among the high mountains and orange groves of the western state. Robinson is one of the handy men of the Pullman service; that is, he is one of those porters that can be used in any capacity in this service. From his card, we assume he is in charge of a private car out there. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Raullerson, who have made their home in Syracuse, N. Y., for the past several years while Mr. Raullerson was learning the undertaking and embalming business, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Creasy of Jersey City recently. The visitors were so impressed with the possibilities of New Jersey as a field for the undertaking business that they have partly decided to locate in the state, so it is said. The visitors returned to the up-state city last week, but will come back to New Jersey in July. Mr. Raullerson was a Pullman porter at one time. Some of the porters on the Empire State Express, one of the best parlor car trains of the New York Central Lines, are wondering if the new "Deluxe Coach" train, which was put into operation between New York and Buffalo on Sunday, June 24, will curtail Pullman travel on their cars. It is too early to arrive at any definite opinion as to what effect this innovation of the railroad will have upon parlor car travel between these two points, but one porter, who has been Pullman portering for the past twenty-five years, gave an opinion of it which seems to size up the situation fairly well, so far as Pullman portage goes. He opines that this innovation will make very little difference to those travelers who are accustomed to Pullman service. "Personally," he said, "who pay the excess for parlor car accommodations pay it not so much for the privilege of having a seat all to themselves, but because it gives them an exclusiveness which they cannot command in a day coach, no matter how luxuriously it may be fitted up." Anyway, those travelers who will prefer this new service are not likely to be mourned when it comes to the matter of gratuities.

The strong stricture of dam life is held to be very cheap by those who on the alightest梢 open fire on excited nobs. The strong stricture of howah (near Calcutta) against the conduct of the office commanding the Eastern Frontier Rifles, in what is known as the "war of the civilians," will only add to the strength of this popular feeling.

TYLER TURNS DOWN CALL TO CHICAGO CHURCH Refuses Third Time To Leave Brooklyn Congregation When the Rev. Rev. Edward Tyler, pastor of Bridge Street A M. E. Church, Brooklyn, announced from the pulpit Sunday morning after the services that he had been extended an invitation by Bishop Thomas Bebel A. M. E. Church, Chicago, it came like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, for the officers and members had just learned a few days ago that he had been returned for the seventh time to Bridge Street by Bishop Jones. He was one temporary, for Dr. Tyler followed up the statement that after prayerful and careful consideration he had decided to remain here. This lifted a great suspense, and the vast congregation gave visible expression of their approval of Dr. Tyler's decision to remain here. This is the third time that Dr. Tyler has given other big charges and has declined. It is said that opportunity looms the door but once, in his case it has knocked three times. One member said if he was ambitious to advance he would-have accepted one of the three, but rather he has a vision for Methodism here and is willing to serve God here and help put over the program that he has visualized, for the A. M. E. Church here. Dr. Tyrler was urged by many men prominent in the A. M. E. Church to come to Chicago. One member of the church stated if he were a A. M. E. politician would have gone West and played with the western and southern delegations, and would soon be advanced, but he also stated that perchance everything has happened for the best.

Leaving a death note saying that she believed her life to be a failure, Mildred Smith, 21, a laurendae, of 645 Lenox avenue, jumped into the East River two weeks ago. Her body was recovered, June 22, 2014. According to friends, Miss Smith had been living for some time with a man at 2340 Seventh avenue but he had refused to marry her and, disappointed, the young lady sought refuge in the earth with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Dennison at the Lenox avenue address. Her Swan Song The farewell note addressed to the mother reads as follows: "Don't worry about me, because I shall be all right, have only gone to school and had other days." "They say only cowards commit suicide, those who are afraid of life and its trials. But I am tired of it now, and it's too late to readjust myself to my niche in the world. I am life is like a merry-go-round to a boy who has only one nickel. He spends his nickel for the ride, intending to grasp the little ring as he rides, which will entitle him to another ride. He misses the ring and also the second ride. My nickel was my start, the ring my opportunity to better myself in life, and I lost the satisfaction of living a life of duty to mankind, a life of, which others-could be proud, and not ashamed. I had my opportunity before me, and did not grasp it. So rather, than have empty life, with no aim and no joy, I prefer to go to another one. "I have always wondered whence at war I came, and where I died. I now go to find out." A liability insurance company for the protection of property owners has been formed by a group of colored men in Harlem, and the announcement is made by the officers that headquarters have been opened at 2370 Seventh avenue and that the Acme Financial Taxpayers' Liability Insurance Co. Inc. is now ready to issue policies for the protection of property. It is set forth in the company announcement that white liability insurance companies in New York have shown prejudice and discrimination in the matter of mourning property owned by Negroes to become almost impossible to place insurance. And where issued, the rates have been raised beyond reason. The organizing of the Acme Mutual Co. was started by Clifford Butee last January, and in weekly meetings the idea was gradually crystalized until the organization requested the point of securing authorized stabilization in the department of Insurance, with the sanction of Attorney, General Ottinger. The State Superintendent of Insurance has issued the company a certificate of incorporation, making the Acme Mutual liable to supervision and inspection by state insurance officials, and requiring annual reports of all transaction undertaken by the company. Applications for membership may be made by property owners at any time. The company is chartered to do business throughout the United States, but will work localized to the present. The roster of offenders, whom in well known business men in Harlem, includes the following: Ben F. Thomas, president; Junius M. Green, Fitzherbert Howell, Anonio De-Silva, Jerome P. Ottley and Detective Sergeant Samuel J. Battle, vice presidents; Joseph A. Tanner, surrender; W. R. Bain, secretary; John L. Fears, assistant secretary. A.
