N.Y.Negro Business Growth To Be Shown At Business League
Democrats At Houston Convention Put Negro Spectators In Cage Of Heavy Poultry Mesh Wire In Hall
Pen Was Jammed With Colored Spectators On First Day of Convention, But Thereafter The Cage Was Practically Boycotted
Al Smith, Governor of New York, nominated early Friday morning to be the Democratic candidate for election as President of these United States, may be the idol of the Negroes of New York City who affiliate with the Tammany Hall Democracy, but these Democratic Negroes themselves are anathema to the southern element of the Democratic party, as was shown by the "cagy" treatment accorded Negro spectators at the Democratic National Convention
The story of how Negroes who attended the convention sessions were treated as the New York Herd Tribune by Dennis Tilden Lynch, a staff correspondent, who reveals that the Texas Democrats erected a cage of heavy poultry, mesh, wire, with seats inside the wire for about one hundred Negroes. No whites were allowed to enter the cage which was exclusively for the dark-skinned brother.

It is reported that on the first day the cage was jammed to capacity, but that thereafter the colored brother was panicked by. His statement statement-issued by authority of Congressman Royal Weller, and released by the office secretary of Assistant District Attorney Thomas B. Dyatt, that Negroes were not segregated at the Houston convention, but, on the one hand, delegates delegates spectators' occupied seats "right next to the platform."
There is nothing to indicate that the Negro "cage" was not "right next to the platform," but from the Herald Tribune story, and the same story was carried in other daily papers occupants of the platform were not compelled to comply with the dark spectators' by the heavy poultry mesh wire.
The attention of Gov. Smith's campaign manager; George R. Van Namte, was called to the "cage," and he was asked if he would protest against that sort of treatment for Negroes, quickly that the Democratic party believed in State's Rights.
Judge Olvany Ducke Query.
Tammany Hall' shead, Judge George-Olvany was told of the apparent reaction, of the 'Negroas themselves, as evidenced by the fact that while the cage was jammed the first day it 'was practically empty sheafter. Judge Olvany was told that one of his followers had suggested that since Tammany was apparently joining the ranks it would be appropriate to charge the Tammany emblem from a tiger to a white lily. But the Tammany leader would not agree to the suggestion, shaking his head, and replying: "No, that is not true. Lilies are only for dead ones. The effect of the Scage" would crate on the Chicago Democratic caucus, however, that the Chicago leaders were worrying about any extent. Judge Hamilton Lewis, former representative, and democratic candidate for governor 823, candidate up his roils, rolled eyes, and replied, when asked as to the Chicago 'black belt' that "I didn't thought of that." The attuned taken by Congressman Fimaniel Celler from the 10th district, Brooklyn, is being searched into with curiosity. His outspoken denunciation of segregation in any form leads his supporters to think that he must have something about the 'jun crow cage.'

STANDARD OIL CO. EMPLOYS NEGROES IN GAS STATIONS Urban League Wins Recognition In Western Filling Stations
The Companion Oil Company of Indiana has recently instituted the policy of employing Negroes in all gas filling stations. This company operates in a section of the middle west in which Negroes live in large numbers. Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City are so situated, and in each of these cities, with the probable exception of Detroit, colored men are employed. In Chicago they are in exclusive charge of two filling stations; in St. Louis one; and in Minneapolis one; and employed as attendants in Springfield, Illinois and Kansas City, Mo. They are also operating four greasing stations in Chicago. These jobs are" the result of an appeal to Col. Robert W. Stewart, president of the company, by the National Urban League through its Industrial Relations Department some months ago. The League used its company's successful operation of its only station then manned by Negroes to prove that the use of Negroes would not cause a decrease in business; but on the contrary would stimulate business from Negroes. In the case of this station located in St. Louis, the general physical appearance so improved under Negroes so increased that it is one of the best in St. Louis Prizes have been awarded to it for external appearance and volume of business.
two colored sergeants-at-arms were appointed. The Negroes of Houston contributed $2,000 towards the subscription at the convention hall. The colored Delegates delegates were most cordially received and well cared for." Much curiosity has been stirred by this statement, for it was a well authenticated report beforehand that Negro delegates would not be welcome at Houston, and so not repeat it, not repeat of 1924 when, at the time, Negro delegate, Dr. Paul A. Collins, went as a delegate from a New York district.
Who Were They?
The question is now being asked, Who were the Negro delegates and where did they come from? And as to the two sergeants-at-arms, is being surmised that if they were on duty at all, it must have been as keepers of the "jim crow cage."
Of course, delegates to a National Convention are always supposed to be located with the other delegates from their state, and this Republican National Convention where scores of Negroes attend as delegates from northern and western states as well as from the South. And Negro spectators have never been segregated or "jim crowed" in any Republican National Convention. That means that the man who is trained as manager of the colored end of the democratic campaign will have a hard job explaining away the discriminatory attitude displayed by the Democratic party, together with the sordid tartaries charged against those in charge of the Houston convention.

Senator "Robinson, in his speeches as permanent chairman."
"Our party from its birth has safeguarded the rights and privileges of the masses. It has championed personal liberty."
"Since its formation the Democratic Party has labored to establish the doctrine that the fundamental functions of government is to secure equality of rights and opportunities for all citizens."
"Democrats are united in purpose to enforce in good faith the Constitution and laws."
Bishop James Cannon Jr. of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South: "I shall fight for the maintenance and enforcement of prohibition as long as I can utter my conviction. We must protect the Constitution."
Thomas M. Hickey of California: "The plain people whom this convention represents, and without whom we are not, have with an unanimity unequalled in the history of our party, emphatically made clear their will that this man shall lead the onset in the approaching battle for human rights."
Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, former Governor of Wyoming:
"Ten thousand men and wonten, representative of the hundreds of thousands' left behind in their homes, all holding allegiance to the lofty principles, of the Democratic Party, if applied to government, will advance the well-being of all the people of the nation without regard to group distinction of any kind."
When Mrs. Ross was speaking Negroes were being "jim-crowed" in the convention hall.
Pastor Becomes Raving
Maniac While In Pulpit
Bridgeport, Conn.—The members of the Milford-Baptist Church were given a shock Sunday, June 24, when their pastor, the Rev Charles P. Hudson began to rave in his pulpit. Many of the members left the church and someone notified the police, who found the preacher a short time later in his car. The minister objected to being placed under arrest and it required some little time for the police to overpower and subdue him. He was finally taken to the police station and later removed the full time to the police station. He has since been removed to the image taulm at Norfolk.
WARNING TO BOYS

NEW PLAYGROUND FOR KIDDIES IN WEST 147th ST City Leases Plot Opposite P. S. 90 For 3 Years' Service
The children of Public School 90,
at 225, West 147th street, are rejoicing
not only that the summer vacation
is here, but also that their
dream of having a real playground
with grass and flowers on it was
realized on July 2,
The Colonial, Community, Council,
working with the Community Coun-
cils at headquarters, has for
some time been driving to get this
playground. It looked as if the school
would close without success, but at
the end of the school year, the
subway builder, came to the house
and furnished a sufficient amount of
money to complete arrangements.
The Board of Education, at its meeting on Wednesday, June-27, recommended that this playground be leased for three years, with the privilege of renewing, the lease for three additional years. The Open Drilling Company, owners of the property, agreed the property to the school for merely the cost of taxes, provided that proper supervision was furnished.
The new playground is $50 \times 200$ feet. It is opposite the school on 147th street and extends through to 146th street. Half of it is to be devoted to a playground for mothers and babies, and the other half of it is to a regular children's playground. Two trainable supervisions will be stationed there from 9 to 5. 5 clock daily, except Sundays.
The playground will be opened at 9 o'clock on July 2. At 9 o'clock on July 9, there will be formal exercises in regard to the opening. Mr. Rossoff, Mr. Beal of the Community Councils, Mrs. John Jerome Booney of the Local School Board, Alderman Fred Moore, and many other natables will be present. A stage has been arranged and moving equipment will be used if the activities

The contract for the Fifth avenue system was submitted to the Board of Estimate and approved on Tuesday, June 12. The contracts are to be advertised and Commissioned. Hoy believes that the work will be completed and the system in operation within two months.

Considerable difficulty is being experienced in devising a suitable system for fourth avenue, as the physical structure of that thoroughfare makes it impossible to install such systems as are in use in other sections of the city. However, Commissioner Hoyt is taking up the matter with Commissioner Walter Herrick of the Department of Parks, the Manhattan and it is hoped, that the problem will be solved satisfactorily without further delay. Commenting on the projected improvements, Alderman Moore, declared that Deputy Commissioner Hoyt has worked unceasingly and with the greatest energy to bring about, the improved traffic regulations that will result from the installation of, controlling fights in the three Harlem thoroughfares.

TWO BROTHERS LYNCHED BY MOB IN MISSISSIPPI Accused of Attacking 2 White Brothers In An Altercation
Brook Haven, Miss.—A double lynching here on Friday night, June 29, resulted from a dispute between two sets of brothers, Claude and Caby Byrnes, white, and James and Stanley Bearden, Negroes, after which the two colored men were arrested and put in jail, armed, with attacking the white men.

In the resulting altercation, both white men were given a beating.
After the two Negroes had been imprisoned, the jail guard was augmented, but when a mob of several men tried to give a demonstration with the gave way the mob is reported to have used large timbers to force an entrance, but other reports are that the officers unlocked the doors for the Beardon brothers were taken from the jail, and the mob divided, one part taking one of the prisoners, tying a rope about his neck and dragging him at the rear of an automobile through the city and into the town for hanging. The other brother was carried off in a car in an opposite direction and hanged to a bridge. A third Negro, whose name is Nigel, was also taken from the jail, but the mob is alleged to have released him for having aided the mob in locating the accused men.

The forthcoming session of the National Negro Business League, to be held in New York City, August 15 to 17, inclusive, is arousing enthusiastic interest among local business people. Indications are that the local league here will be a strong and progressive body, and that the national body will be given a cordial welcome.
The local body is arranging for a comprehensive survey of all race business enterprises in New York City, and Vicinity, the survey to be conducted, by C. Benjamin Curley and Macco Smith, competent and trained men, and will cover every phase of commercial activity in which the Negro is engaged. Already, according to the statisticians, some interesting facts are being unearth. It is not common knowledge that Negroes are owners and managers of the Benson Broom Broom Works at 146th street and Seventh avenue, makers and distributors of brooms of high quality, and that at 2373 Seventh avenue is housed the Murdock Company, makers of pepper sauce, which is sold to the big chain stores and other larger concerns.
The membership of the local league is daily augmented by new members, the business men of the community exhibiting an earnest desire to cooperate in making a fine showing of the business development of the country's greatest municipality. It is hoped that every individual engaged in business will be allied with the local body before August.

Zina Church, entrance on West 150th street, and this will be on view during the three days of the Business League meeting.
The program is being arranged and many prominent men in con-
MISSISSIPPI HAS THIRD LYNCHING IN FOUR DAYS
(Special to The New York Age)
Liberty, Miss.-The third lynching in four days was recorded in Mississippi when "Shug" McElwee was hanged here Monday, July 2.
McElwee had been accused of attacking a white girl a week, ago, and had been recognized at the time from the description. A mob gathered at the time of the girl's accusation but could not find him.
Early Monday morning Deputy Sheriff E. E: Blount of Amite County arrested McElwee about 13 miles from town. While bringing the man into town, the sheriff was met by a mob who overpowered him and seized the prisoner.
A search that afternoon for the prisoner resulted in finding him handing from a tree along a roadside.
McElwee had recently completed a prison term for assault on a colored girl.
The other two men lynched Friday were James and Stanley Beardon, who had been charged with beating two white men.
George Aaron, with 88, again won the monthly tournament held by the St. Nicholas Golf Club during the past week at Lake Mohanic, N. Y. The tournament was featured by some fine golf. Aaron, who had been shooting at par for the first nine holes, got into trouble on the 14th by driving into the woods. He ended up by scoring a big 10. Tommy Person, with 49 and Charles Tatum with 52 started very poorly on the outgoing nine but got on their game again and came on with a rush on the last nine. Person scoring 44 and Tatum 42.

read, Mr. White compared its effect to the cutting of a hole in the bean bag and the spilled beans rattling all over the place. And yet the message was not defiant nor in any way shocking.
Governor Smith merely said, after pledging himself to protect and defend the Constitution and the laws in case it should be the will of the people that he take an oath as President, that it is well known that he believes there should be fundamental changes in the present provisions, for national prohibition. While he fully appreciates that these changes can only be made by the people themselves, though their elected legislative representatives, he felt it to be the duty of the chosen leader of the people to point the way which in his opinion leads to a sane, sensible solution of an unsatisfactory condition. He referred to the corruption of law enforcement officials, bootlegging and lawlessness now prevalent throughout the country, and said that without returning to the old evils of the saloon, through the application of the Democratic principles of local self-government and state's rights, real temperance could be secured, together with respect for law and the present evils eradicated.
WHY SMITH WAS. NOMINATED. The great contrast between the Democratic National Convention held in New York four years ago and the recent loveust at Houston, Texas, has caused wide comment and much mental effort to discover exactly what has changed the temper of the hitherto unterrified Democacy. Arthur Krock of the editorial staff of the New York Times, writing from Houston, said hope of power to come was entirely responsible for the concord that marked the convention. What induced the delegates to nominate Governor Smith on the first ballot was solely the belief that he is the only Democrat with a chance to win this fall.
It may be that there is not so much difference in the attitude of the two candidates, Democratic and Republican, on the subject of prohibition as most people think. Both parties in their platform have declared for the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment, although mother of them seems to think anything of the nullification of any of the other amendments to the Constitution. Governor Smith declares that national prohibition has proved a failure and that the cause of temperance can be better served by turning the regulation of the drinking habits of the people over to local and state regulation.
The intelligent tactics employed by the Smith managers and the New York delegates, among whom Mayor Walker must not be overlooked, contributed largely toward disarming adverse sentiment and criticism. They used persuasion instead of resorting to the ballyhooing and strong arm tactics that failed at the New York convention. Then Governor Smith's reputation as a vote getter was emphasized by his reelection as Governor and his success in getting many of his policies adopted, despite the opposition of a Republican legislature. His personal record and the story of his career had a popular appeal, which was not without its effect on those who listened to the anecdotes of his early life. His fame had spread all over the country and the tune of "The Sidewalks of New York" ranked with "Dixie" in popularity.
So far as Mr. Hoover has declared his personal views on prohibition, he has pronounced it a noble experiment. This may be true, in that it is a sort of altruistic self-denial by the whole people of a privilege, because it was abused by a minority. How successful that experiment has proved in the seven years devoted to enforcement is hard to figure. Whether the gains made, by saving the weaker vessels from the sins of drunkenness, overbalance the evils caused by bribery and bootlegging and poison beverages, would require a rigid accounting to determine. Many early advocates of prohibition have changed their views as to the efficacy of law to regulate man's social and drinking habits. The only persons who seem to be thoroughly satisfied with the present status of prohibition are the bootleggers and the paid anti-saloon leaguers.
Of course the Ku Klux Klan and the extra Dry Southern Methodists are not altogether satisfied with the choice of the convention, but it is hard to see what they can do about it. The Klan is not as strong as it was four years ago, and already some of its leaders have shown symptoms of wishing to get on the band wagon, so as to be in line when the Federal patronage is distributed, in case of a Democratic victory. The Methodists and the Dries can console themselves with the sop given them in the platform plank, which calls for prohibition enforcement, though Bishop Cannon and other dry leaders threaten to make trouble.
As a practical administrator, it is not at all likely that Mr. Hoover would be any more satisfied with the present status of prohibition enforcement than Governor Smith is. The road to real temperance does not seem to lie through the Volstead act. And yet, as Governor Smith truly said, the remedy can only be applied by the people themselves through their elected representatives.
The Republican view of the situation is that Governor Smith is the strongest candidate that the Democrats could nominate. The platform is ignored upon the theory that the candidate himself is the real platform. This might also be applied to the Republican position, except for the fact that the party is now in control of the administration, of which Secretary Hoover is a part, and with the policies of which he is to some extent identified. Both parties have named strong candidates for the Presidency, and their individuality is bound to overshadow the evasive pronouncements placed in the platforms to conciliate conflicting interests. It is worth noting that despite the lynching at Houston just previous to the opening of the convention, no plank was adopted in favor of Federal anti-lynching legislation. As the South is the greatest sufferer from this species of murder, it must have been solely on the ground of state rights that such a plank was omitted.
HARMONY SHATERED IN GEORGIA
On the first page of the Atlanta Independent of June 21 appeared an article headed "Georgia's Shame at the Kansas City Convention." As the former Republican State Committeeman for Georgia, Benjamin Jefferson Davis, is the editor of the Independent, it is only fair to presume that the statement emanated from him or had his approval although it bore no name of its author. It recited the harmony that prevailed in the state and district conventions that elected delegates to Kansas City, there being trouble in only two districts, the First and the Seventh. The State was unanimous on the question of National Committeeman, no name being mentioned except that of B.1. Davis, to succeed himself.
At the Georgia State convention Mr. Davis was unanimously elected and the delegates and alternates were instructed to vote for him. Eleven districts out of twelve either instructed for him or endorsed him for reelection. But all this harmony was shattered at Kansas City when Roscoe Pickett, chairman of the delegation, refused to present his name before the convention and instead nominated J. H. Watson with Mrs. George S. Williams for National Committeeewoman. These names had previously been rejected by the State convention.
While Governor Smith has been a great vote getter in his campaigns for state office, drawing largely from the Republican strength, it is extremely doubtful if he can hold those votes in a Presidential contest. We can see no good reason why any considerable number of the Negro voters of New York should prefer Governor Smith against a Republican candidate of the character and standing of Secretary Hoover.
According to William Allen White, who attended the Democratic powwow in Houston, the message of Governor Smith to the convention, in which he accepted the prohibition plank, but reiterated his own wellknown views of the modification of the Volstead act, was the only dramatic act of the convention. It was said that Senator Pat Harrison held the message in his hand for more than two hours before it finally was
Mr. Pickett's action, it is claimed, was in violation of the instructions of the State convention, he having been made chairman of the delegation by virtue of the fact that he was chairman of the State Central Committee. It was also claimed that the rules of the National Committee provide, that when delegates fail to obey their instructions for national committee-man, the convention may count their ideas for the convention war.
THE NEW YORK AGE
instructed. Nine delegates favored the Watson slate while thirteen stood by their instructions and declared for Davis. Another performed the difficult feat of being on both side, so that nobody could tell how he would vote. The chairman arbitrarily adjourned the meeting of the delegates, refusing to allow them to pass upon the question.
This irregular action by the chairman of the delegation was declared a deliberate attempt to wreck and disorganize the Republican party in Georgia. It was the result of a combination of politicians, who boasted that they were going to reorganize the party when they returned to Georgia and put out Ben Davis, who had too much power and authority. The white man who sided with Davis and held Federal officers would also have to walk the plank under the new leadership.
While The Age has not always been able to agree with Mr. Davis in his political policies or his editorial opinions, it has great respect for his sturdy qualities of aggressive leadership in seeking and maintaining racial representation. He deserves a fair deal at the hands of the Republican Party. If the facts are as stated in the Independent, he appears to have been the victim of a dirty deal.
ONE BARBARITY ENDED
On Sunday last the system of lease estate convicts to work for private mine owners was ended in Alabama. This system which was not restricted to Alabama gave rise to many barbarous cruelties, dedicted upon the convicts by brutal guards and mine bosses. Of course, in the South black convicts were the most numerous victims of this system, especially in Alabama and Florida. It was resorted to as a device to enslave those who were without cause, were brought with the clutches of the law.
But as with other devices intended primarily for the oppression of the black population, the convict lease system and claimed its white victims. It was the case of one of these, a man named James Knox that aroused public opinion against the system. Knox was convicted of forgery and sent to prison, where he was leased to the operators of the Flat Top mine. Three days after he reached the mine, he was dead, presumably a suicide by poisoning eleven months later another convict wrote to the state attorney general, who started an investigation. It was found that Knox had died of cruelties inflicted by the mine warden. He had been beaten and then thrown into a vat of boiling water. This was similar to the case of Martin Tabert, a white lad from North Dakota, who was flogged to death in Florida lumber camp. The number of negroes who have been tortured or murdered in Southern convict camps is uncounted. Department of Justice agents who have investigated peonage cases in Georgia and Florida, the tickening tales of the horrors they have encountered.
It is well that the convict lease system ended as a legal institution in Alabama where is still the extra legal or who legal system of peonage in vogue other Southern states, which permits cruelties equal to those of the Alabama mines or the Florida lumber camps. The isolated Georgia farm where black laborers were done to death at the whim of the owner, was not the only place of work. Alabama has taken one forward in the march of civilization, but the white South still has a long way to go.

MARCUS GARVEY IN LONDON.
The Negro World of June 30 devoted early three pages out of eight to an account of the meeting held at Albert H. London, where Marcus Garvey shows that confinement has not tempered Hadacity nor modified his rhetoric, headline running across the first page a printed in bold type: "Garvey in Brilliance
The Negro World of June 30 devoted nearly three pages out of eight to an account of the meeting held at Albert Hall in London, where Marcus Garvey showed that confinement has not tempered his audacity nor modified his rhetoric. A headline running across the first page asserted in bold type: "Garvey in Brilliant Albert Hall Address States Case Uncompromisingly for Negro." The grandiloquence of his speech may be gauged by his opening: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens of the British Empire: I am here this evening as the President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, an organization of 11,000,000 Negroes in Africa, the United States of America; Canada and the West Indies, to present to you the claim of our race upon your civilization."
Early cable reports from London concerning this meeting represented it as a fizzle from the point of attendance and as failing to attract serious consideration from the press or public. It is significant that in this account nothing definite can be gathered as to the numbers in attendance. The staging of the meeting was said to have cost more than five thousand dollars, and it was termed "the assemblage of some of the most serious minds of Europe." The meeting was held on June 6, the evening of Derby Day, the
was claimed, did not affect the holding of this most important meeting in the heart of London. An elaborate musical program was announced and Garvey's speech was said to be reported by forty newspaper reporters.
It will be seen by these items as written for the delectation of the Garvey followers in America, that the brain that conceived the idea of the Black Star Line, has not lost its cunning. The reason assigned for staging this meeting in London was because of the importance of Great Britain as a factor in this twentieth century civilization and the part she has played in the affairs of the Negro people of the world for the last four or five centuries. The Garvey organization felt that it could best advance toward its goal by familiarizing the B.r.i t i sh people with the great problem of mankind and the Negro. The goal ostensibly aimed at by Garvey is defined by the slogan of "Africa for the Africans." He claimed that he wanted to create English public opinion, before going to the government with a plea for territory upon which to es-

The Detenui (Political Prisoners)
It is satisfactory to learn that all Indian leaders are now at Bardoli to give evidence of their success in taking campaign. The situation there has reached a point at which the attention of the Indian leaders has taken campaign. The situation there has reached a point at which the attention of the Indian leaders has taken campaign. The fight these unleashed agriculturists are conducting has a most far-reaching effect on the economy in a grievance strictly local in character. The bureaucracy is trying to re-cover the losses incurred in the unbroken and even unwhakened. The simple fact that we has withstood all pressure from Government, refused to accuse him of determination, refused to accuse him of temptation. Just as in the case of the Indian government, Bengal, the peasants look at a situation that may what? these hands, shall never sow that land. Pledged themselves to withhold payment of their revenue unless assessment has been made.
The Government fully realise this inner meaning of the struggle and for that reason has been forced to defeat, by terrorising the people including ladies by engaging opaly the services not far distant, when if the struggle continues, grim starvation will stare all women after all men, women and children, and after all men, women and children, and who know that if their hearts and homes before their eyes, how long will they be before their eyes, how long will they be before their eyes, how long will they be there is therefore the bounded duty of everyone who bellevins in the infinite potential, who has been launched against the autocrat and imperialist power like Great Britain, in been launched against the autocrat and imperialist power like Great Britain, in be found started to carry on this struggle to the last.

Garvey told his hearers that he went to prison because of an empty envelope, said to have contained a letter posted by an employee of the Black Star Line. He asserted that for six years 25 per cent of the employees of the organization were secret service agents; that the counsel general of the organization, who was responsible for the legal phase of its business, was also in the employ of the government and, after Garvey's conviction, was made an assistant attorney general. Referring to his deportation as an undesirable alien, Garvey waxed sarcastic by saying "Just imagine, after three hundred years a Negro becoming undesirable in America."
Whether his hearers at Albert Hall were many or few in number, and, whether they cried, "Hear, hear," and mingled laughter with applause as the brackets indicated, Mr. Garvey must have had a fine time posing as a martyr and vilifying those who had at any time opposed him. How sincere he is in trying out his African scheme on the British, time will show.

Doing His Bit to Keep The Empire Go
The Rt. Hon. Veronica Hartshorn, Lab. Member of Parliament, and the Seven Members of the British Birkhead and the Britons’ deputy in the East on a tour of “imperial investigation,” is doing his bit for the British Birkhead and the Britons’ Party who realised the enormous value of British Mission in this world. It is hard to imagine that the others like it do not Fire with this humanitarian ideal, Mr Hartshorn came with what he had seen, and is grown to the winds, through the columns of the building, where he was told of Tatua as the worse enemies of labor, clean forgetting that nearer his own home there are mine owners who are the worst enemies of labor. Hartshorn is told that the worse enemy of labor in India is the British government, and amed to keep their men underpard; as for example, the men in railways are the worst enemies of labor. Hartshorn is told that their magnificent salary the benign government gives for their minimum commodities, have gone much higher, to keep their souls together. The肩 in the exploitation of Tatua, therefore Hartshorn is, in their imperialist mood, doing as much harm to the Indian as its conducts by giving its conducts bad name.
Side-Tracking The Issue
The language of Earl Winterton's reply to the questionnaire of Mr. Sakaitai, the Bamunachae shooting incident and the press, both in England and in this country, against the findings of the District bar of the I. C. S., indicates that unless the public opinion expresses itself in favour of the attack, he must be made to alldtrack the real issue, whether the crime was all the same or not, the Bamunachae were involved.
The Iowa Bystander of Des Moines published the following special from Kansas City, anent the plea made by a local attorney:
George H. Woodson of Des Moines was addressing the resolution committee in the G. O. P. Convention Tuesday, when the meeting was disrupted by an army of farmers bearing banners, "If we don't get it here, we will go to Housson." Woodson was pleading for more liberal government in the Virgin Islands when the farmers entered with their demands for a farm plank.
Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the resolutions committee, granted Woodson two and one-half minutes upon taking the floor, those were raised, "Who are you?" "I'm good looking and black," Woodson responded. His speech was drowned out in the ensuing roars of laughter.
Attorney Woodson was one of a committee appointed to investigate and report upon conditions in the Virgin Islands a few years ago. But it would seem that his gift of repatriate ruined his chances to help the islanders before the convention.
Arguing in favor of greater buying at home, instead of mail order trading, the Denver Star said:
Every community should be as self-sufficient as possible. By making their purchases through Denver the people of this community can keep their money at home, where it will be used over and over for the benefit of the people and the community itself.
Instinctively, the American is a bargainer, and the boys knowly and easily taking into consideration every element of advantage and disadvantage in the transaction. He makes his purchases where he believes he can obtain the greatest value. Price is not always the paramount consideration, although in most cases it has the greatest bearing on the choice of a place in which to buy. The average shopper now knows that he can obtain a considerable variety of goods from which to make his selection.
But for all its business acumen and autumnity the consuming public is sometimes deceived. Mail order prices are like automobile f. o. b. prices—they fall [ar short of the price to the consumer. With the extras added they cease to be bargain prices.
The Five Points merchants and business men are competent and progressive, and their shops are of the best. There is no valid reason for shopping elsewhere. It is well for citizens to make it a hard and fast rule to patronize home institutions, which help to make the community what they would have if be.
The same argument would apply with greater force to the support and building up of race enterprises. The Star carries considerable advertising of local business concerns, which would justify its policy.
A peculiar strike of taxi drivers was reported in New Orleans in the news columns of the Louisiana Weekly. It said:
The drivers of the Owl Cab Company, owned and operated by John L. Longo, an Italian, who caters chiefly to colored people, went on a strike Tuesday. The cause for the strike was the appointing of William Gaudett, yellow Cab driver, as road manager of the company. Gaudett's manager, the driver real, was earlier beraining and arrogant and on many occasions was insulting to the passengers. This attitude caused patrons to stop riding in their cabs. Before Gaudett was appointed road manager the position was held by Negroes. They fay between the crowd of the strikers and the prosecution of the bad man to inform the house of Commons that the prosecution launched by the police had to inform the pean officers, charging them with murder of some Indian employees of the Lilac Company, making statements about the actual words used by the District Magistrat of Howell, concerned. The defence of Mr Dutt in venturing to criticise them will, however, not be condoned by his masters.
In the meanwhile it is understood that Mr. Mukherjee, in the case of one of the strikers shot at Bombay without provocation, is in charge of the judicial to the jury whom he indirectly requested to prosecute the leaders of the riots. How different the treatment he meets in different courts?

Up until Wednesday night the cabs were still in the garages.
It would seem that there was an opportunity for the race to start a taxi company in New Orleans, either by some individual advancing the capital or on the cooperative plan. We trust the strike taught the road manager a needed lesson.
That Negroes in some Southern States can take some interest in local politics was indicated by the following editorial in the Carthage Times, published at Durham, N. C.
The Negroes of Durham County must awaken to the fact that they cannot take chances in advocating the election of a candidate to any office who is not known to be a friend or our group. The present prosecuting attorney of the Recorder's court of the city of Durham, is well known as the advocate of Durham. His fairness to the Negro lawyers, who wore time to tear, pear in defense of members of race, is enough to warrant the political support of every Negro in Durham County. The Honorable Hugh Scarlett, has at all times, corded our lawyers and their client due courtesy and treatment. In the second which it takes the vote to the twelfth of month, the Negroes of Durham County should go to the polls and cast their vote for a man whose friendship is known.
If Negroes can vote in a primary election in North Carolina, it would seem good policy to support a local candidate who is vouchered for a farmed and courted.
Under the head of "Political Opportunities," the Pittsburgh Course says that in St. Louis, Chicago Philadelphia and New York, Negroes have an opportunity this year to send black Congressmen to Washington. It continued:
Whether they will do so or not is absolutely up to them. The number the leadership and the political knowledge are there. Only the will to do it is necessary.
In each of these Congressional Districts the Negroes are at present divided between two old political parties that are so much alike that the difference between them is quite different between them. In turn these two groups of Negroes, Democrats and Republicans, in each of the districts named, are again divided into little factions. At present the districts are headed by white Congressmen, with the exception of Africa, where there is a vacancy caused by the death of Martin B Madden.
What the Negroes in each of these districts ought to do is unite, regardless of vague party lines and send four Negroes to the next Congress. It can be done and ought to be done. there is no sound argument against it, and the procedure. Whites have the power to jim crow Negroes from whatever they please, but Negroes have the power to jim crow whites from these four Congressional seats. It is not possible for any Negro, no matter who, to do any less, for the Negroes in representatives from these four districts. It is not possible for Negro Congressmen, however, by their mere presence to be of great psychological value to the group. It is more difficult for the New York Negroes; even though united and all voting, to elect a Congressman than the other cities mentioned, for the reason that Negroes are more likely to be a member of the district, and a large number of them cannot vote because they are aliens. This excuse does not exist in the three other cities.
When the race can unite its forests and disbordinate personal ambitions to consolidated effort, such a thing may be accomplished.
Asserting that disfranchisement is being followed by a policy of economic starvation of the Negro, the Atlanta Independent said:
"The South having successfully deprived the Negro of his constitutional right to have a voice in the making of the government, has turned its attention to the proposition of the Negro, preventing so far as possible, and further by practice and custom of the opportunity to make an honest living."
Through Union Labor as a means 90 per cent of the trades of this country has been shut in the face of the Negro artisan and mechanic Numbers of municipalities have passed ordinances, or yielded to the blasphemy appals of. Union Labor, make a driver responsible for the property drive a mechanic in the property of a municipal government. And if a Negro works on a truck, a white man is the driver and sits all day on the truck without moving, while the Negro loads and unloads the waste. This unnecessary employee receives more pay to do nothing than the two Negroes who do the work his wife is white employees keep to keep the politician in office who fathers the policy of keeping the Negro out of work. The Barber Trade has been largely closed to the Negro, and so much so, that the State of South Carolina has passed a law making it a misdemeanor for Negro to shave or wait on a white customer. It is only possible in cities that Negro to be Mall Carrier or to enforce that of intolerance is so violent in the country that a Negro would take life in his own hands if he accepted an appointment as a Rural Carrier or a Post Office in the country.

Hamilton, Ont, July 2-(By the Canadian Press).—As on the first day of the meet, old records fell by the wayside and new marks were set up on the second day of the Canadian Olympic track and field trials here today.
Four Canadian records were shattered today, in the 800-meter run, the high jump, the javelin throw and the 400-meter hurdles. Phil Edwards, British Guiana flash running under the colors of the Hamilton Olympic Club, hung up a new mark of 1 minute and 52 seconds in the 800-meter run and established himself as the star of the day.
Edwards's remarkable time cut
5 2-5 seconds off the Canadian record
of 1:15 1-5 seconds. The Olympic record is 1:51 9-10 and the Canadian Olympic Committee has set 1:55 2-5 as a standard.
Four New Tennis Courts To Open In Harlem July 7
The E. and S. Tennis Club and Athletic Association, which operated tennis courts on 146th street, near Seventh avenue for several years, have gotten space for four more courts at 141st street and Fifth avenue and are completing work on these courts, a grand stand and club house, which will be dedicated Saturday afternoon, July 7. An interesting program La been arranged for the occasion.
Eyre Saith, former national champion, and Soloman Worde, state champion for New Jersey, will engage in exhibition matches. And there will also be exhibition matches between white and Negro women stars.
Because of the lack of courts, the state tennis tournament, usually held annually, could not be held last season. They will be held early in August this year on the E. and S. Courts.

Godfrey Given Rotten Decision In Risko Boul
A rotten decision eliminated big George Godfrey from further serious consideration as a heavyweight contender, when the referee and judges award Johnny Risko of Cleveland the decision after ten rounds of fighting at Ebbet's field, Brooklyn, on the evening of June 27. It was Risko's aggressiveness and gallant finish that won for him. Godfrey had the advantage of size, weight, and boxing skill and during the early rounds handled his white opponent as he pleased. He belted Risko's body, unmercifully and had the fight gone 15 instead of ten rounds, he would have undoubtedly scored a knockout victory.
Goddrey is really the best boxer in the country today but his long absence from the ring showed in his fight with Risko. What he needs is to fight every month for about six months to be at his best form. Risko's blows had little effect on Big George, and the 30,000 fans that witnessed the contest were treated to the spectacle of the decision going to the fighter almost in a state of collapse and the loser showing no ill effects of the battle.
It was the late Tiger Flowers, who almost knocked Mike McTigue out at Madison Square Garden only to have the judges award the decision to McTigue. The colored boxers must win beyond a shadow of doubt to get the decision in New York these days.
Richard Barthelmess In "The Noose" At Roosevelt
A young boy, just at college age, stands with a smoking gun in his hands. His victim is a huddled, shapeless heap on the other side of the room.
This is the dramatic punch that opens "The Noose," First National's picturization of Willard Mack's sensational stage play which comes to the Roosevelt Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
From this tense, startling opening, the story moves swiftly through a series of 'dramatic incidents to the finish. "The Noose" is one of the most powerful stories ever written. It deals with life in the raw, with the underworld and its gunmen and gangmen, with justice and with politics, with sympathy and compassion. Seldom has such a strong story been brought to the screen, and probably never with such marvelous players to enact the various roles. Richard Barthelmess in the stellar role again demonstrates his amazing histronic talents as Nickie Elkins, the boy. He brings to the role sympathy and understanding.

NEGRO ACTRESS SCORES SUCCESS WITH WHITE SHOW Cora LeRedd "Danced Better Than All Whites Put Together"
NEGRO ACTRESS SCORES SUCCESS WITH WHITE SHOW Cora LeRedd "Danced Better Than All Whites Put Together"
What, at first, was considered the minor part of a colored maid, in the white musical comedy, "Say When", which was presented by Miss Elizabeth Marbury at the Morosco Theatre, last week, was so well acted by Coro LaRedd that critics on the Metropolitan dailies consider her the star of the show.
Another Negro dancer, Duquesne Miller, also received favorable comment from the critics Here's how Leonard Hall in The Telegram describes the dancing of this pair: "Last night the result was spread before a broiling audience. The ladies, all peaches of varying tints, came out and ambled in a restrained way. The book staggered and reeled helplessly toward ten o'clock. The songs bid, with no offers. The show curled up and died of refinement. Suddenly out came a little sepia baby, hot from Harlem, and launched into the aboriginal shakedowns peculiar to her race, urged on by the howling cornet of Henry Busse. A colored boy appeared and hurled himself into space—his beige sister came back for me and the house went stark raving mad. The nice young ladies and all their tribe might just as well have hurled themselves into the East River—as a matter of fact several of them, smirking helplessly, looked as though they devoutly wished they could." Stephen Bathburn in "The Sun" wrote: "It was when Cora LaRedd, the really colored maid, danced in the first act. How she did dance! She not only stopped the show but she danced better than all the white dancers "put together. She was ably assisted part of the time by a Negro named Duquesne Miller—not that she needed any assistance. If the management had had the good judgment to give Miss LaRedd a dance also in the second act nobody would have found fault with the entertainment."
Percy Hammond, writing in "The Herald Tribune" said: "It was not, however, the gentlefolks who galvanized the entertainment last evening at the Morosco. That act was performed by a colored lady named Miss Cora LaRedd, a wait recently discovered by the producers in their exploration of Harlem, Miss Cora couldn't dance, much but she had

Tim Moore, Ofi 'Blackbirds' Expounds On Negro Humor
"The simplificities of life translated into terms of human frailties and customs make for humor. Which explains why the Negro has such a remarkable sense of humor and is so adept at bringing this ingrained sense of the comic into the theatre, for the Negro, above the peoples of other races, knows life mainly in its simplicities."
"Humor was born of human weakness. We laugh at the underdog when we should sympathize with him. The loser always gets the horse laugh because there is something about the tragedy of his plight that brings a laugh to our hearts. Instead of being sorry for an ignoramus, we roar at his mistakes. All of which reverts to simplifications.
"And the reason I say the Negro excels in humor because of the simplices of life is not because the Negro cannot understand humor we characterize as subtle, but because by nature he is a simple being. His problems, his habits and his perspective are confined strictly to his race. This, too, holds true for members of the Caucasian race, most of whom lead simple lives. That is why both races laugh at horseplay and slapstick. I maintain, however, that the Negro has a much better developed sense of humor in simplices than his white brethren because he has not graduated to the more subtle types of comedy.
"White folks," continued Tim Moore, "labor under the popular delusion; however, that we can find comedy only in grave yards and poker games. The reason for this is due, of course, to the fact that Caucasians, will accept only in comedy skits of this genre. If white folks will attend some of our native theatres they will see Negro family life portrayed very much after the humor, in most instances, is broad
At Lafayette Theatre
Once again demonstrating his claim to the leadership among all present-day colored producers, Leonard Harper opened his new revue, "Fireworks of 1928" to one of the largest and most appreciative audiences that ever crowded into the Lafayette Theatre, on Monday, July 2.
In the spirit of the Fourth, Harper calls his new hit "Fireworks of 1928." It is a very appropriate title, for from beginning to end Harper's new-revue is a fast, sparkling, gay-riot of color, harmony and laughter.
Charlie Johnson's famous. Paradise Band renders the music for the revue, both from the stage and from the "pit." Since its last appearance at the Lafayette and since it won the band contest at the Savoy Ballroom, Johnson's fourteen master musicians have gained the reputation of being one of the finest bands organized. Their performance in this week's Lafayette Theatre show is truly wonderful and reminds one of the work of Paul Ash's stage band at the Paramount and Walt Roesner's Band manner of their own people, but the permitting the ingress of slapstick."

The B. ¥, Py’ U," service of our
eirche was’ of wniudual’ Intérest’ on
Weddesday night last, Mids Julia A.
Booker's ‘group, had. charge of” the
‘meeting, . and, the program, was in
the hands of Miss’ Aignes Doughtry.
‘They. got outa, printed ‘program,
yrhich’ “included: the’ finest of | ove
‘yourig: people, “and;.. after. Miss
Doughtry :opeded the’ topic ot the
jevening, which was “Service,” the
‘young people, astonished the older
‘persons present by their’ discusslocs,
showing,’ beyond .2 doubt; that, they
not-only:hid a graip’‘on the subject
bot thet they are genuinely religious,
‘and, only * wait an opportunity to
make evident the strength that is in
‘htem,’Then followed the best pro-
grim, of aliterary; , musical and
ethical natitre,"that it has been our
privilege to-hiear’ in our yoing peo-
plc's organization. ° _*}
‘The pastor -was s0 highly. elated
that he failed to find words to ex
press" appreciation. However, he did
say. that the program Wasa! demon
stration of the fact: that we ap, tc
Harlem as a churéh not to, be, organ
ied, but carry Jip Srganization wit
us. Thi is"a most, encouraging fea-
ture. "+ 5 5
“The fact. every one now sees
and mows that the new church edi
fice i§ an actuality, for? they ca
easily see.that the roof is being plac
‘ed on the structure, and the work
men, each “day, brings the entire
structure nearer’ to completion.
"The older” members, too; “have
‘taken on. entirely new life. We are
jn thé rnidst of mid-summer, when j
sm. be expected. that there will be
falling off, but, despite this, fact, the
derviees’ are welll attended. This
speaks volumes for the loyalty of
the people, for it must be remem
‘beréd that each tinie.there is 2- well
attended service, it means, that many
have ‘traveled five miles, and som
more,-to reach the place.
The choir-is doing excellent’ work
under its untiring: leader, Mist -H.
A. Béoker, with Mme. V. E. Scott
ard C..B. Simmons assisting to keep
the, choir tp to the-standard.-
{The pastor is, really, tired, having
mow. been on the job for two conse-
cutive years without ‘any letup, but
ie preached two sermons. that are
still resounding iit the ears: of. those
who heard them. At 11a. mi Sun-
day,, he preached ‘on “Obedience -to
12 Vision” and. theres was - a large
gathering to bear the message. He
came back after teaching and ad-
4ressing the Sunday’ school, and
preached the evening sefrion of
“My. Neighbor." This sermon as
‘effective, for there were tWo, con:
yyersions. The Lord works in the
heat, of summer as well as at
‘other Yeasons.
Mount Olivet Baptist Church
Sunday, July 1, was an ideal ‘sum-
mer day, and regardless of the great
number of people away on vacation,
the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church was
filled with worshippers at the morm-
ing service. There was bass slo
excellently rendered by, Tillman
Forlice, preceding the sermon by
Rev. W. P. Hayes. "The text was
chosen from 2nd Kings, 13th chap-
ter and the fatter clause of the 21s
verie,""And when the: man sas let
down and © touched the bones of
Elisha, he revived, and stood upon
bis feet.” the subject was “Immort-
ality of Influence." He explained
that death is only a transition, and
that eternal .life begins here, and
that death only changes the environ-
ment of the soul not the chmracter.
He also spoke of words or deeds be-
irig like , the waves set in motion
when a stone is*dropped into the
ocean; gone, taking its ” inficence
elsewhere. We may repent and be
forgivert, but. the influence tives’ on,
The’ whole discourse was instructive
and penetrating.
‘Tt was announced that the City
Misslon Society gave $125 for the
Daily: Vacation Bible ‘School. Every-
body was asked to help this worthy
cause. . .
" The two Bible classes met at 1:30
o'clock. The Philathea Class . was
taught by the president, Miss Burke,
and final remarks were made by the
pastor. ‘The class discussed “Prayer.”
There were 42 in attendance and one
tisitor, The class was closed for
the summer; will ‘open Ra imaggiee
September. The officials and the
Ways and Means. Committee were
requested to meet Sunday, July §.

enthusiastic reception she responded by singing a charming little love ditty.
The work of the choir was especially fine in the a capello numbers, three of which were of Russian origin and style. It is no disparagement of the other offerings to say that the choir was particularly powerful in the rendition of a group of Negro Spirituals. This is gratifying to this reviewer for the particular reason that he is, perhaps, largely responsible for the attention that Prof. Lamb is giving to Negro music, since he not only suggested the effort, but went further and submitted certain numbers, copies of which were in his musical library, and which are now in the choir's repertoire.
Mrs. Cora Wynn Alexander was the accompanist, and that perhaps, to those who ate familiar with her work, is sufficient to say. She maintained the same high standard to which she has accustomed us.
IN THE REALM OF MUSIC
By LUCIEN H. WHITE
SOME FURTHER COMMENT ON CONCERT PLAN PROPOSED FOR HARLEM AND WHAT IT SEEMS TO OFFER COLORED ARTISTS
Commencement Exercise
The letter from Dr. Sigmund-Spaath, managing director of the Community Concerts Corporation, published in this column last-week, in which the distinguished leader in musical activities sought to make plain the aims and objects of the Community Concerts plan of that organization, furnished interesting reading and clarified the situation with regard to the proposed enlisting of five hundred or a thousand contributing supporters to that plan in Harlem.
Commencement, exercises of the Martin-Smith-Music School, Inc. were held on Wednesday, June 27, in the auditorium of St. Philips Church, under direction of David I. Martin. The exercises were up to their usual mark of excellence.
The matter of taking up the plan in Harlem was discussed, as Dr. Spaeth said, with a group of prominent Harlemites interested in music, and upon their approval, a campaign was started to secure 1,000 subscribers at $5 per year, this payment to entitle the subscriber to one admission to each concert that might be presented in Harlem by the Corporation. Announcement of this movement led 'The Age to ask the question, 'Should Harlem Initiate and Support Its Own Musical Activities Instead of Seeking to Aid and Abet Others?'
This year's graduates were John Russell from the Theory Department and Clarence Desdunes from the Violin Department. As Mr. Russell was in Maine with an orchestra, as a result of his course of study at the school, his mother accepted his diploma for him. Mr. Desdunes was also playing that evening and his diploma was accepted by a student of the class of 1929. The director of the school, Mr. Marin, presented the diplomas. He stated that there were a number of students eligible for graduation as far as their instrument was concerned, but that the school curriculum required the study of theory and harmony as well.
A pointed request was made that those Harlemites interested in the plan proposed by Dr. Spaeth's organization give expression to any comment they might care to make on the matter, in a brief way, which comment would be published by The Age. It is a rather curious commentary on the supposed interest of the people whose names were quoted in the announcements sent out by the Community Concerts Corporation that not one of them has come out and given open expression to an opinion, although there have been reports, via the grapevine route, that some of them have criticized The Age for not heartily endorsing the proposition, willy nilly.
Eleven men and women, some of high ranking in the musical world, others of no ranking at all in that sphere, are listed as being heartily favor of the plan, but there has been no word from any of them. Then there is an advisory board of larger proportions, nearly seventy, in fact, in addition to the eleven, and it was with some interest that the writer of this column discovered his name among those listed. The fact that he had no knowledge of the movement and had no request for use of his name is of no particular importance since anybody can be placed on an advisory board. If the intimation is to be carried that he heartily approved of the movement, it is, of course, all wrong, since he has done nothing of the sort.
William H. Weaver, president of the board of trustees, awarded the David I. Martin Medal for meritorious service during the past school year. The recipient was Winston Collymore, member of the class of 1929.
Dr. Charles A. Butler, president of the Citizen's Welfare Council, made an address on the importance of music in every day life, and music as the great power of bringing people together in kindred spirit. The other speaker was Rev. Shelton Bishop of St. Philips Church who expressed St. Philip's pleasure in having the school hold its commencement there. He expressed himself as thoroughly in accord with the work of the school. Its contribution to the community was unique, and far-reaching, work would broaden yearly.
So far as this proposed series of concerts is concerned, The Age is concerned mainly in possible recognition of colored artists, particularly women, who are in every respect worthy of ranking with the average white artist listed for appearances under the concert plan. In response to questioning, The Age was told that the artists listed are taken from the books of the concert bureaus which are cooperating and that such colored artists as are listed on the bureaus' rolls would also be listed by the Community Concerts Corporation. Other Negro artists would have such opportunity as might be found in the off chance of the managers of these bureaus coming up to Harlem, hearing them on the concert stage, and being so impressed with their merit as to be willing to take over the management of the concert prospects.
Scanning the list of artists booked under this plan, one finds some of the most noted men and women on the concert platform, with a host of them not so well known, but not one colored artist of any degree of prominence is noted.
The Musical part of the program was in three groups. The first part consisted of exhibition work of students, from beginners to some of the more advanced. Taking part in this group (piano department) were: Rosmary Jordan, Felicia Singleton, Dorothy Swan, Eric Brown, Batha Dyer, William Henry_and William Spottswood; In the violin department were: Lawrence Bourne, Russell Smith, Eric Lane, Henry Duncan, James McNeal, Edward Johnson, Elizabeth Brown, Bernice Cransten and Natalie McCall, who played the Concerto No. 1 by Seitz in able manner, and Ronnaine Brown, a lad of 6 years, who played Melody in F by Reubenstein not only with a keen sense of rhythm, but of tone as well; in the woodwind department, there were saxophone solos rendered by David Carr and William Pitts; and from the voice de
In a talk-over the phone-with The Age, one of Dr. Spaeth's assistants said that Dr. Spaeth was discouraged at the reception which bad been given the proposition in Harlem and was inclined to discontinue his efforts in this direction. In his letter last week, Dr. Spaeth said:
"The Community Concert Plan is not in any sense a money making proposition, and there is to be no profit to anyone except the artist and the audience.... The writer refuses to believe that Harlem does not possess at least one thousand actual or potential music-lovers, who can well afford to join such an association.... There are enough well known people already willing to take the lead in the movement, but they cannot do it all alone. If there are to be misunderstandings, doubts, petty jealousies and personal prejudices, it would be far better to drop the whole matter now, before any harm is done."
And then, in what might be considered a direct reply to the query put by The Age, "Should Harlem Initiate and Support Its Own Musical Activities Instead of Seeking to Aid and Abet Others?" Dr. Spaeth says further:
"Harlem is quite capable of developing such an association without any outside help whatever." But some stimulus is generally required to overcome the natural mertia of human beings. If this stimulus is now sufficient, and the organization is ready to proceed under its own momentum, the writer will be more than happy to step aside, and merely stand ready to offer service when it may be needed, and to supply the necessary equipment for office routine."

With regard to the possible listing of colored artists for appearances outside of Harlem, there seems to be a rather slim chance. From such explanations as have been made to The Age, it would seem that the race artist would only have a chance before race audiences, and only that after having run the gamut of critical audition. A recent note from Mrs. Richardson, assistant to Dr. Snaeth, is as follows:

"Any race artist who cares to have a hearing with a view to appearing on the concert progrgams; will, upon submitting his or her name to Dr. Sigmund Spaeth, managing director of the Community Concerts Corporation, Steinway Hall, New York, be invited to attend a public audition to be held at Wanamaker's auditorium at a date to be announced later. Representatives, from the various musical burcaws and radio broadcasting studios will be invited, as well as any colored people who may care to attend. In this way, competent judges will select the artists whom they deem ready to appear on public concert programs."

The good people of Plainfield did not, perhaps, realize just what was in store for them on Thursday evening, June 28, at Washington School, Darrow avenue, when the Wilson Lamb Choir of Orange sang under the auspices of a committee of ladies for benefit of the Moreland Branch J. M. C. A., for if they had, that auditorium would have been filled to capacity instead of containing the sparse few who did attend. There have been several changes in the personnel of this group since the last time I heard its vocal offerings, but these changes have evidently been beneficial, for the ensemble work on this occasion was of a quantity higher than that shown in former efforts. It was smooth and even, well balanced, with greater sonority in the mid-voice sections, even with a dearth of contraltos, and a clean, clear-cut precision in attack.

A feature that was of local interest was the presenting of Miss Reba Maya, a local girl, in solo numbers. Miss Mayo has a soprano voice with a rich quality, light in texture, but firm and sure, with a colorful essence, and these good points are not lessened by a charming personality and pleasing presence. She sang the popular aria, "Care selve" (Come, Beloved) from the Handel opera, "Atalanta," giving it in Italian, and followed this with Del Riego's "Thank God for a Garden" and the Woodfordde-Finden song, "Till I wake." She was rewarded with a gorgeous bouquet, presented by Dr. Walter C. Quinn, and the case in return another song.

The orchestra played the Overture, "Merry Wives of Windsor" by Nicolaï, a waltz, "Vindobona" by Godswalky, and a march, "Pomp and Circumstance" by Elgar. The accompanists for the exercises were Sonoma Talley, Loretta Anthony, David I. Martin and Gerturde E. Martin.
ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS
By PERCIVAL OUTRAM
Lou Henley, pianist, it is reported, took ten men to Madison Square Garden to play for an hour, and apparently made no charge for their services to the promoters of the Marathon Dancing Contest, but Sergeant-at-Arms Minton was on the job and warned Lou of the dangerous position in which he was placing himself and the orchestra.
Henley then told the promoter his men would have to retire without playing, but arrangements were made and a check for $150 was given Sergeant-at-Arms Minton to cover the cost of the playing of Lou and his orchestra.
The management of the Marathon Contest, it is alleged, had at the start signed contracts with two bands to furnish the music. After several days, attendance being spasmodic, it appears that one band, by mutual consent, retired, leaving the other band alternating with an electrical mechanical contrivance to supply the music.
Whether orchestra leaders thought it an ad, or it was a means of getting a thrill without an investment, it was brought to the attention of Local 802 that orchestras, white and colored, were volunteering their services for an hour at the mad quest for $5,000. Minton was directed to investigate the matter. At 2 o'clock, after the paid orchestra had completed its labors, Lou Henley was the first of these one-hour orchestras to appear, and as it happened, found himself working a job instead of running counter to union rules and regulations.
Fred Coxico is amongst us again. Nearly every year, for the past four or five, Coxico jumps from Paris to Harlem to see his mother, and takes back musicians to fill a job. Coxico is at present looking for men to augment the orchestra at the Embassy in Paris, where he has played several years. First, as a flautist, then the gradual step to the E flat alto saxophone, and now B flat tenor, is Coxicos instrumental record. Coxico played at the New York Roof when Tim Brymnn directed that job; had worked for Jim Europe and all other up-to-date bookers and then he himself took some of them as a booker, leading him at a Broadway and 133th street cabaret. Then Benny Payton, drummer, and himself, went to Europe.
Benny has never returned, Cox-cito is well regarded by his host of Harlem friends, and judging by his long stay at the Parisian cabaret he undoubtedly is well thought of in the French capital.
John Mayfied had an excellent reputation as a trombone player. He worked at the Roof with Ford Dabney's orchestra, (Ziegfeld's Follies) for many years. After Ford left the Roof, Mayfield left the rim and cup and attached himself to the tantalizing reed—just left the trombone cold and wedded himself to the saxophone. It is about four years now. that Mayfield has sucked the reed and has made himself some reputation as a sax player. Now again an about face. Mayfield has played clarinet soprano, alto, haritone saxophone—practically all the reed family—but against all these odds the old 'lure of his, old and first love has pre dominated and he has returned to his beloved trombone.
But wait, old lovees are plotters,
needs reeds may be only biding
their claim.

The Notes of Summer Expressed In Tiers and Scarfs
Made on Substantial Craft Paper (Not tissue)
The world seems, at its best in ever before. They boast grace the month of May; perhaps because the sun has succeeded, finally, in breaking through the many clouds that have gathered the year round, and shines clear and happily in preparation for a summer that is just around the corner. The three afternoon frost sketched today portray every indeed, to the woman whose wardrobe would be in readiness when June arrives in all its glory. The keynote of the current mode is "softness", and a most acceptable tendency it is, after the trying, lovely, feminine heimgs of soft, harsh, lines of seasons past.
Slender, supple silhouettes are given interest by molded hips, by flares, pleats, capes and draperies. In fact, anything that gives a streating line away from the body of the frock, is acknowledged to be the last word in fashion's book. Afternoon frocks have become dainty, colorful, creations more flattering to the weaker sex than leyan Methodist Church, the Rev. I, I. Thomas, pastor, 221 West 136th street. The play was for benefit of, supplying the costum furniture and equipment for the church
The fourth annual recital of the pupils of the--Nixon Music School, 248 West 136th street, covered three nights, with programs at Grace Congregational Church, 308 West 139th street, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, June 26 and 27, and with the formal commencement exercise on Thursday night at St. Philip's Church, West 134th street, the Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop delivering the address. The Symphony Club of 15 violins, and the Philharmonic Dramatic and Choral Club of thirty voices were specially featured. E. Eugene Nixon is director with Dr. W'R Jones as business manager, and H. Gallway as assistant director.
Ethel Oughton Clark, coloratura soprano, who had to cancel her spring 'recital in New York to fill engagements in England and on the Continent, writes that she disembarked at Southampton on May 26, and that since reaching London she has been studying with Louis Drysdale, who has been mentioned in this column.

ever before. They boast graceful capes and bows as shown in Design 1524; scarfs that assert their individuality by the manner in which they are worn, as in Design 1526; and tiers that fall in soft folds as the weaker moves, delightfully displayed in Design 1510. The three afternoon frocks sketched today portray every detail of Dame Fashion's latest whims, and clever she is, to be sure, when we realize how completely she has changed styles until her children have become the lovely, feminine hengs of softness and grace once again. Even sportswear, which is but another daytime apparel, shows kerchiefs and daytime both of which add that youthfulness to the woman heart. Kerchiefs are tied at the front, side or back, just as the weaker's mood dictates and Design 1520 is a charming example of the double scarf effect sponsored by Channel, one of the world's

She heard George Garner, Chicago tenor, in Aeolian Hall, and says that Marion Anderson, the Philadelphia contralto, was given a tremendous ovation at Wigmore Hall.

foremost couturiers.
Prints continue their smart way,
many printed frocks being entirely
self trimmed so that nothing detracts
from the color and fabric itself.
Some frocks have merely
bands of plain material as their
sole trimming, treating charming
contrast and accenting the colors
of the print. Summer frocks display
the sheer fabrics, chiffon,
voile and georgette for both afternoon
and evening. These fluttering
fabrics are most interesting
when allowed to fall into loose,
graceful lines that animate the
wearer's every move.
There is a gorgeous array of lovely prints in patterns large and small, in the most ravishing of soft pastel shades and often in the most amazing color harmonies. Satin back crepes remain in popularity for the first warm days and they be had in colors and tones that are exquisitely lovely. Beige still holds first place, with infinite variations, of course, and with such names as putty, sand, cedar, and sandal-wood, all colors which may be had in stockings to match the frock, another fashions' dictates.
We welcome with fitting joy, the return of the polka dot, both for use in fashioning smart frocks and for trimming. It is very chic! The old style dot, mathematically placed, is no longer wanted, but oddspacings and groupings of dots in various sges have become the rage. The success of some striking models is due to the smartness of a treatment of polka dots in connection with plain fabric. Design 1526 would be not so chic were it worn without the dotted scarfs. Black and white, blue and white, as ever, are exceedingly popular. There are many variants in brown with heige, tan and ivory, and two tones of green or blue.
A word or two is necessary regarding house dresses, although they do not seem rightfully to belong in the world of fashion; and yet the morning frocks designed today are smart and becoming as well as practical. The sketch shown are practical, its simplicity, and doubly effective because of the ease with which it can be laundered. Prints are modish cotton fabrics, too, and are displayed in dainty, crisp designs that make a house dress charming and fresh looking.
The feminine younger set long ago put aside babishness and frills, and its styles are copied in miniature of its elders. Smartness and charm are an essential part of every frock selected for little tots, whether they be two or twelve. Monotony is cleverly avoided in the treatment of the materials and in various details. Cunning pockets in odd shapes, unusual pleats and fabrics make the wardrobe of the little girl a truly fashion center. The mother who makes her kiddies frocks will find today's designs easy to fashion and forerunners of summer models. Play out of doors means many changes during the day, and these little frocks may be made at so small a cost, the youngster may have any, number of adorable dresses.
Pattern 1109
This tilt outfit, Pattern 1109, is made on straight, simple lines. It is distinguished from the ordinary by the quaint little pockets on either side, carefully rounded out to accommodate the round feet.
the collar and cuffs. Another unusual feature is the center, placed extending the full length of the frock. Linen, percale or wore broad-cloth fashion frocks of undeniable charm. For this frock and bloomers we suggest tan lines with collar, cuffs and pockets in brown linen, for a practical combination. Two shades of blue are always lovely for youngsters. Red and white make a stunning outfit although white is no so practical for sturdy wear. A bit of hand embroidery adds a dressy touch and might be employed effectively on a crepe frock.
Size 4 requires 2 yards of 36" 14 40" material and 1-3 yards of 36" to 40" material for trimming.
Little sister's new frock echoes the mode as Mother wears it—we en copying the smart, square neckline with a bow at its corner! The material of the frock is like Mother's too, for it will be either printed edil, crepe or the new printed velvet, just what grown-ups will wear this season. With the exception of black the bloom is white for both. Belge rose beige, french blue and green. The satin ribbon that forms the band and bow at the neckline is of a matching color.
*Size 4* requires 1 7-8 yards of 3
to 40 inch, material and 3 yards
ribbon for trimming.
Pattern 1185
The percales andinghamms once upon a time suggested for youngsters alone, has become an essential part of the wardobe of the modern house-wife. Pattern 1285 is a delightful example of how very attractive a simple housedress really can be, when fashioned of these cotton fabrics. This model may be worn as a frock or as a cover over one's good dresses when working about the kitchen. From a practical viewpoint, Pattern 1285 is important, as it be opened up easily underwing. Gingham usually plaid or percale, usually flowered, may be used to make this dress. The notched collar, cuffs and pocket flaps are of white pique or linen. Developed in white linen, Pattern 1285 is an excellent model for nurses or professional workers. Large pearl buttons add a smart touch and are practical for washing.
Size 36 requires 2 3-4 yards of 36 to 40 inch material and 1 1-3 yards of 36 to 40 inch material for trimming.
May be obtained in sizes.16 to 44.
Fresh from the Paris collections, comes this very smart daytime frock, Pattern 1526. Chanel sponsors the two scarf effect that feminizes the tailored frock and adds so greatly to its unusual charm. The shoulder scarf is smartly fastened on the left side with a perk knot, while the hip scarf uses the right side to finish a most attractive closing. Note the clever fashion in which the scarf is brought through the fabric at the waist line, and the graceful manner in which it is draped on the left hip. Skirt fullness is obtained by means of three inverted pleats. Narrow cuffs repeat the knots in fashion. The frond of chain collar milk crepe the trimming of woola dotted material, creates a stunning model. Blue and white brown and beige, red and blue, are lovely combinations. An all white dress with red dotted trimming makes an attractive summer frock.
Size 14 requires 3-1-4 yards of 50 inch material and 1 yard for trimming.
May be obtained in sizes 14 60 20.
Pattern 1524
Quite different in cut and detail is the frock shown in Pattern 1524. This bountiful model has a skirt in most unusual points at the waist line, and gracefully flared through the circular cut. The odd capetel fastens on one shoulder with a charming brow creating an effect that is decidedly new and delightful. Flowered crepe, georgette or chiffon in the soft pastel shades may be used for Pattern 1524. Bands of cream lace finish the capetel and narrow tie cuff bands. In place of lace, one may employ plain color bands of georgette crepe that harmonize with the color scheme of the frock. Very youthful and dainty for warm afternoons is this soft model.
Size 14 requires 4 yards of 40 inch material and 3 yards of lace for trimming
May be obtained in sizes 13 to 20.
Pattern 1510
Distinctly new and very smart features are shown in our summer models. Pattern 1510 is so alluring and so graceful, one can scarcely resist it. The fabric polka dotted silk crepe is the last word in fashions; the double tiers on blouse and skirt proclaim it entirely different. Bands of contrasting color finish the neck, cuffs, belt and tiers in effective manner. The skirt tiers form a slight cascade at the side that boasts a smart buckle or pin where it joins the girdle. A cream color background with green polka dots and plain green banding makes an attractive gown. A white gown with either black or blue dots is always charming for summer wear. For the very slender and youthful of red and red trim to create a miss, we suggest white with dots stunning outfit. A large red picture hat would lend beautiful harmony to the ensemble.
Size 36 requires 4 1-4 yards of 40 inch material and 1 1-4 yards of 40 inch material for trimming. May be obtained in sizes 16 to 44.
These models are easy to make if you use these patterns which are individually hand-cut of substantial paper not tissue. A perfect fit in every size is guaranteed.
Patterns will be delivered to any address upon receipt of 15 cents in coin or stamps, prefetted coin. Always marked with warranted.

Council of the company, of January

For example, if an employee

Pension Trust Fund. But this act

ing 1½ per cent of his semi-ann

ibution he will have an accruer-

In section 11 of the preamble,
the company desires to supplement
an Additional Pension Plan from
an retirement the provision for o-

The preamble then goes on to

General Electric Company's Pension For Retired Employee
Giving up our article' of last week, on the day making better provisions for the time whenirement, we are publishing a brief sketch of the General Electric Company, one of the countries, will introduce among its employees. According to the General Electric's the company, of January 1, 1928, the placed Pension Plan and Pension Trust, Life Company, and other large industries, the retirement age for employees is 70, but of pension, the employee may retire at 65 has been in continuous service with the example, if an employee is 45 years old pension goes into effect, he may at 65 years of the pension list, and, in addition to his in the company, will receive an accrued trust Fund. But this accruement does not any. The employee helps to amass this cept of his semi-annual earnings for one's earnings were $20 per year, through the will have an accruement of $405.52 care at 65. The higher the earnings of the the amount accrued.
Section 11 of the preamble of the plan, we company desires to supplement the Pension Pension Plan from contributions by the provision for old age shall be met aside by employees are and will always nucleus of savings, if the employee leases his estate receives the amount so accruement from the company.
The employee then goes on to explain the company operate. The employee's contribute earnings semi-annually is to be invested in, who shall be the members of the Pension G. E. Employees Securities Corporation chosen by the Board of the G. E. Employees from among the directors representing or distribution of accrued savings is.
The time the employee retires on pension, discription pay him the amount so account employee desires and the custodians approve of the employee use the accumulated annuity, or pay the employee the amount than 120 monthly payments. If the only payments and the employee should be completed, the remaining payments will estate, or at the request of the estate will be sum."
More, this additional pension plan of the company, that eligible employees will have the percentage from their earnings for six months which will be invested by a board chosen by the employee. This corporation realizes that if employee is not a sufficient monetary for his working days are over, hence themselves.
We see no feasible reason why a pension did not be introduced among Pullman employees of the General Electric Company, with good wages, require such paternalism to their employer, it may be said that emploiy are in equally, in need of such considerer. Of course, Pullman service is but, that ought not make any difference grow old in their employment the a electric corporation; and when they need assistance more then than evi electric Company has sensed the moral of the employer to the employee.

General Electric Company's Pension Plan
For Retired Employees
Following up our article of last week on the need of the Pullmanporter making better provisions for the time when he has reached theage of retirement, we are publishing a brief sketch of a plan of pensionwhich the General Electric Company, one of the foremost industriesin this country, will introduce among its employees, beginning January1, 1928. According to the General Electric News, official Magazine of the company, of January 1, 1928, the plan will be known as the Revised Pension Plan and Pension Trust. Like the railroads, the Pullman Company, and other large industries, the General ElectricCompany's retirement age for employees is 70, but under the company'snew plan of pension, the employee may retire at 65 years of age,providing he has begun in continuous service with the company for twenty years.
For example, if an employee is 45 years old when the new system of pension goes into effect, he may at 65-years of age, if desired, be put on the pension list, and, in addition to his regular pension annuity from the company, will receive an accruement from the Revised Pension Trust Fund. But this accruement does not come solely from the company. The employee helps to amass this saving by contributing 1½ per cent of his semi-annual earnings for twenty years. Say the employee's earnings were $20 per week, through the plan of contribution he will have an accruement of $505.52 coming to him if he should retire at 65. The higher the earnings of the employee, the greater will be the amount accrued.
In section 11 of the preamble of the plan, we note this statement: 'The company desires to supplement the Pension Plan by establishing an Additional Pension Plan from contributions by employees so that on retirement the provision for old age shall be more adequate. The funds so set aside by employees are and will always remain theirs.' It becomes a nucleus of savings, if the employee leaves the company or dies, he or his estate receives the amount so accumulated in addition to the pension from the company.
The preamble then goes on to explain the conditions under which the plan schall operate. The employee's contribution of 15% per cent from his earnings semi-annually is to be invested by a board of seven custodians, "who shall be the members of the Pension Board, the president of the G. E. Employees Securities Corporation, ex-officio, and one member chosen by the Board of the G. E. Employees Securities Corporation from among the directors representing the bondholders." The payment or distribution of accrued savings is summarized as follows:
"At the time the employee retires on pension, the custodians will in their discretion pay him the amount so accumulated in cash or, if the employee desires and the custodians approve, in securities, or at the request of the employee use the accumulated fund for the purchase of an annuity, or pay the employee the amount so accumulated in not less than 120 monthly payments. If the payment is made in 120 monthly payments and the employee should die before such payments are completed, the remaining payments will be made to the employee's estate, or at the request of the estate will be capitalized and paid in one sum."
In short, this additional pension plan of the General Electric Company, is that eligible employees will have the company deduct a small percentage from their earnings for six months of each year, the sum of which will be invested by a board chosen by the company, so that employees will be better provided for when they have reached the age of retirement. This corporation realizes that the pension it grants the retired employee is not a sufficient monetary nucleus on which to live, after his working days are over, hence the idea is to help him to help himself.
Now we see no feasible reason why a pension plan of similar character, should not be introduced among Pullman employees. Surely, if the employees of the General Electric Company, who, in the main, are paid fairly good wages, require such paternalism and forthought on the part of their employer, it may be said that employees of the Pullman Company are equally in need of such consideration on the part of their employer. Of course, Pullman service is a different type of industry, but that ought not make any difference. Employees of this service grow old in their employment the same as the employees of the electric corporation; and when they do arrive at this stage of life, they need assistance more than ever. Seemingly, the General Electric Company has sensed the moral obligation, regarding the future of the employer to the employee.

There is hardly anyone who has had any experience as a worker in the railroad service but that has felt at some time or another that he could improve, and even manage, the service of the railroad over which he ran, better than the men who were in charge of it. Indeed, there are certain phases connected with the railroad service, which to the superficial observer, seem downright sinister, if not perversion, on the part of the railroads, for countenancing them. In fact, nine men out of every ten believe, if you go by comments, that operating a railroad is one of the things for which no training is necessary, no experience is required, no study is expended. They realize that the railroads have a system of operation, and that these carriers have their various departments, but other than that the average observer hasn't much respect for the efficiency of the railroad service. He is always making some suggestion for its improvement. Some of the suggestions that one hears have a title of virtue to them, but as a rule most of them are impractical when not entirely worthless.
For instance; in an address before the American Railway Association Convention at Atlantic City, recently, a Mr. Tatum of Baltimore, who could not possibly have been a railroad man, twitched the railroads for having car windows on their trains which do not open automatically, or at least do not open at the mere suggestion of the traveler. Possibly, it had never occurred to the speaker that experience had taught the railroads that aside from the dust, smoke and cinders, which fill a moving-coach when all its windows are open, having these admissions of light, and air indiscriminately raised are a menace to safety. The modern railroad passenger coach is so constructed that sufficient ventilation is obtained through the top or deck lights of a car. The railroads do not forbid the raising of car windows; and if a passenger feels that he wants the one at his seat opened, any trainman of his train will oblige him. But, as said, to have all the windows in the coach of a fast running train is an extremely unsafe condition to encourage. Experience has taught the railroads to avoid this by having the windows in their coaches built so that passengers will have less inclination to ride with half of their bodies out of the windows and other half in the car.
Perhaps, this may not be the exact explanation as to why the windows of railroad coaches are such difficult things to pry loose from their mootings, for they really are, we admit. But to ride for fifty, or more miles in a day coach with all its windows biar, is like passing through an African desert during a Monsoon. Then, again, one passenger will want his window one way, while another will want his just the opposite. So, the railroads have a job, trying to please everybody, although they do not succeed at is very well. Even the New York World, which is 'usually tolerant with almost everything but Prohibition, thinks there are many, features of the railroads service that it could operate with more comfort to the traveling public. Considering how necessary they are to commerce and travel, it seems strange that nobody ever sympathizes with the railroads in their problems. On the other hand, that is easy to understand: Everyone thinks that running a railroad is a sinurece.
When we speak of the word "Politeness" we want to make our
selves "ear to its meaning." Webster defines the word as "Polished,
smooth, Well-Bred, Obliging, etc."
Is it said that polite people make polite people?
world. When a condemned felon is about to be guillotined, the execution politely requests the culprit to prostrate himself so, that his head might be decently chopped off. Politeness can be cultivated by almost anybody and everybody; it is a valuable asset to whoever possesses it. It is not a weakness, but one of the strongest qualities in the human makeup. Our most successful lawyers are men of great politic and are street observers and followers of the conventionalities of the best society.
Business men, as well as the versatile politician, bow in obedience to the public need. And those who seek the highest office in the gift of the people wear a smile that never comes off till after election.
A university course in politeness is unnecessary. Our association with well-bred people will give us ample opportunity to acquire the art.
We have just laid aside a book by E. Phillips Oppenheim. The hero, Pratt finances his brother, Samuel Pratt, to come to America to invest in oil in the Western States. The venture was a failure. Jacob Pratt became a bankrupt and went to work for a large leather concern in London. On his tours to and from London he met many of his former associates who basked in the sunshine of his society in the heyday of his prosperity, but who, now that his fortunes had changed, greeted him very coldly.
Richard-Daunce, a poor clerk at a stipend of three pounds a week was the only bright star that brought comfort and hope from the dark horizon of his depressed and miserable heart. Those cheering words and bright smiles laid the foundation of Richard Daunce's future happiness, for Samuel Pratt, after many attempts at grub-staking; was finally rewarded by finding the prize so diligently sought.
Riches came thick and fast to the owner of the oil wells. Jacob Pratt was rehabilitated and restored to his former financial standing. Richard Daunce's patron placed him beyond the pale of want or worry for the rest of his life, simply because the former gave the latter a kind word and a smile which cost him nothing.
The late Florence Mills smiled her way to success on two continents, and other less celebrated stars. in the Thespian arena have been liberally rewarded for their amusing contours and sunny smiles. The smile of the veteran-Pulman porter is schooling his children, and the smile of his loving, wife on his return encourages him to continue to fight the battle of life for the education of their offspring.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox says: "Smile and the world smiles with you," or, "Laugh and the world laughs with you."

Maintains Steady Growth
(From The Commercial World)
When the Victory Life Insurance Company announced that it would enter the State of New York and shortly after qualified its right to do business in the State, the Commercial World made at that time no comment, preferring to make its comment when at least a year had passed within which there was ample opportunity to study the company and to evaluate its worth.
This organization today operates in several states and each one of them has made a record for the amount of insurance in force which it has added to its account. It has had an unusual demand made upon its claim and has met each of them promptly with no harmful results to their balance sheet. The condition of the company is extremely healthy. The securities and other investments which this company holds, are of them much more "Baa" than Moody's Investment Service. The rating companies are unanimous in giving it the highest possible rating. Its officer and directors as well as its home office and field forces include some of the most outstanding Negro citizens of which America can boast.
The growth of this in New York City, where its offices are located at 2210 Seventh avenue, has in no little way been due to the unintiring efforts of its local vice-president Dr. P. M. Savory, and to the admirable skill with which its manager Lemuch foster, who together, have held the position of company at this point. Statistics compiled concerning the progress of the firm are too voluminous to print, but it suffices to say 'that this splendid company is indeed worthy of all the business it has and will do. primarily because its founder decide not to make records as Negroes, but as men meeting the standards of any other men. The glorious work which can be paid to this organization is that it true to its trust, and its object. No more could be said of the Metropolitan Life Insurance: no less can be said of the Victory Life Insurance Company.
