The opposing group, which has been throttled and crushed by the steam roller methods of Grenthal and his adherents, are actually aroused, and there is bitter, resentment being shown as it is re-railed that the Grenthal tactics included voting of absentees, shutting off of free discussion in the committee meeting, actual insults offered to those who were opposed to perpetuating the Grenthal regime, and in a general attitude of the socalled majority in suppressing without a hearing the entire opposition. Whites Were Silent The question has been asked by many people, men and women, of both races as to why colored members participated in the speaking, praising and lauding Grenthal, while the whites were silently laughing at the colored folk's seeming utter lack of race pride, which lack was being lead by Grenthal to its fullest extent. A white man, speaking to a friend, is quoted as saying: "Fred R. Moore is right in fighting for race recognition. I'm Irish, and we would certainly take offense if our race was treated with the lack of consideration which is being shown the Negro in Harlem. And, we would take control of the district if we were in majority. Strong criticism is being made with regard to the colored men who so far forget standards of action as to criticize colored men as compared with white men to the material discredit of their own race. Voters Express Opinion < The general attitude of voters of Harlem is being shown by letters they are writing and expressions they are making, especially to the pastors of their churches. One woman, writing to the Rev. Dr. J. W., Brown, pastor of the great Mother Zion congregation said: "You would have something to preach about if you had been down to that political club in 124th street, Monday night. The way the Negroes carried on was a disgrace. You talk about white folks' niggers—well here are some for you. They people are Negroes but they don't want Negroes to do anything for them, and this.... she is a very crooked woman. I think she belongs to your church, but I am sorry she does". And behind this and scores of other letters of a similar import, is the fervent assertion by many women that they will not vote for Grenhal, be at the same time they pledge their full and cordial support to the Republican ticket. Leading men and women of the community are of a like mind in urging that the time is now ripe for full recognition of the fact that the Negro' vote is the majority vote in the 19th A. D. Strong Commendation Mentions recently held in homes, in the 19th A.D. and in other sections, have given strong commendation of the demand for representation in the State Assembly, with forcible condemnation for Grenhal, whose present political prestige has come from these people. They set up the undeniable statement that Grenhal's reputation was made entirely in this district by the support given him by the same colored men and women whose political threats he is trying to cut and, by the people whose rights he is consistently and arrogantly ignoring. Other elements are being injected into the matter to show the ruthless disregard Grenhal is exhibiting towards of the race. At a recent meeting, one of the women made the definite charge that she had employed Grenhal to represent her in a legal matter, paying him $100 as fee, that he had failed to serve set, and had absolutely refused, and The New York Age failed to return to her one penny of the money. At a meeting recently held at the Republican Club, it is reported that a hot discussion was had over the proposition that Grenhal get out of the way by resigning the leadership, and that another white man be put in his stead. But this stirred intense opposition, many of the white men present adding their voices against such a step. Determined To Fight It is being recognized by these leaders that the race is stirred with a determination to carry forward this fight for a recognition to which they are legitimately entitled by virtue of the fact that they constitute 90 per cent of the voters strength in the district and that the fight will be carried to the polls in the primary on Tuesday, September 18, in the designating of Myles Paige as the regular Republican nominee for the State Assembly and in the ultimate dethronement of Grenthal as Republican leader of the 19th A. D. There is a general expression among both Negroes and whites that as the Negro vote is 90 per cent of the district vote, the race should have the leadership and everything that goes with it. Pres. Wilkinson Of S. C. State College Injured In Automobile Accident Orangeburg, S. C.-While returning from Eastover where he had addressed a group of 4-H boys and girls, President Robert S. Wilkings of the South Carolina State College sustained cuts about the head, hands and legs when he was thrown from a Ford car which was struck by an auto driven by a white man of Sumter. The accident occurred on August 10. Dr. Wilkinson and H. E. Daniels, state farm demonstration agent, were riding along at a moderate speed when a car shot out a side road and struck the Ford broadside. Both cars were completely wrecked and the occupants miraculously escaped death. Bleeding from head to foot, Dr. Wilkerson was rushed by a passerby to a physician at St. Matthews where first aid was given. Mr. Daniels sustained cuts and possibly a broken finger. The full extent of neither Dr. Wilkerson's not Mr. Daniels injuries has been fully determined. Lydia Boyd Dabney Dies At Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Mrs. Lydia Boyd Dabney, wife of L. L. (Red) Dabney, former All-America football center at Hampton Institute, died here Monday morning, August 6, following an operation. Although Mrs. Dabney had been ill for some time, her death canas a shock to people of the community for the seriousness of her condition was not fully realized. The body was interred at her home in Athens, Ga. on Wednesday, August 8. Mrs. Dabney was a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, class of 1923. In 1925 she married the former football star who was then on the staff of Tuskegee Institute. For the past two years the Dabneys have been at the Callown School in Lowndes County, where he was command of cadets, and she was an instructor in women's industries. In addition to her husband, she is survived by her sister, Mrs. Basileine Holsey, wife of A. L. Holsey, in whose home she was reared; three other sisters and a brother. Former Leader David B. Costuma's Position on 19th A.D. Leadership I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 10th inst., and I assure you that I deeply regret the condition that has arisen in the 19th Assembly District. You ask me for a frank statement as to my position on the question of candidate, for, member of Assembly. When I retired from the leadership last year, I advised Assemblyman Grenthal not to seek renomination, but to devote his entire time to the upbuilding of the party in the district as executive member. During the course of the campaign last year, when I was asked to come into the district to assist, I told the captains and party workers on a number of occasions that the leader's candidacy was against my best judgment and that I hoped in 1928 he would select someone from the group that is so largely in the majority. I am still of the same opinion, for I feel that the interests, not only of the constituency of the district, but of the Republican Party, will be best served when the majority element is given fullest representation. Our country was founded on this principle and I feel that common justice should dictate that course. Yours very truly. DAVID B. COSTUMA. The Rev. William P. Hayes Will Not Enter The September Primary For The Congressional Nomination Writes Letter of Declination To Leaders of 19th and 21st A. D.'s, Saying Church Duties Are More Important Than Politics The designation of a candidate for nomination to the United States Congress from the 21st Congressional District, New York City, remains still a matter to be consummated, as the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, who was named after Alderman John Clifford Hawkins had declined the original designation, has also declined, setting forth as a primary reason that his duties as pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church are of paramount importance and cannot be set aside even for the signal honor of a seat in the Halls of Congress. Höhn. Fred R. Moore. 230 West 135th Street New York, N. Y.

Hayes, who was nam Clifford Hawkins had decision, has also declined, se reason that his duties as ist Church are of param not be set aside even for in the Halls of Congress. Dr. Hayes' letter, under date of August 13, was addressed to Abraham Grenthal and Robert S. Conklin, Republican leaders of the 19th and 21st Assembly Districts, respectively, who, with the leaders of the 13th, 22nd and 23rd Districts, constituted the original committee which nominated Alderman Hawkins. The committee to fill the vacancy occasioned by Mr. Hawkins' delination is composed of William McGruder as chairman, Mrs. Margaret Sealy and Mortimer Kraus, and this committee will again have to function. The text of Dr. Hayes' letter is as follows: (Copy of Letter Sent to Hon. Abraham Grenthal and Hon. Robert S. Conklin.) 'Dear Sirs: "After due, deliberation, I regret that I am forced to decline the very high honor you and your associates tender me in selecting me as the candidate of the Republican party for Congress in the Twenty-first Congressional District. "It has not been easy for me to reach this decision. The manner in which the designation came as well as the alluring prospect of serving a wider constituency, made it extremely difficult for me to decline this honor. "I have one compelling reason for my action in this matter, namely, the welfare of the church of which I have the honor to be pastor. At the present time, and for NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1928 some time to come, the Mount Olivet Baptist Church needs the undivided attention and care of its pastor. This could not be given, I am sure, if I should decide to enter the race for Congress. "Since either proposition demands all, if not even more, than any one man can give in the matter of energy and time, not to say money, I have been faced with the stern alternative of choosing between the two; and I have decided that I cannot in good conscience do otherwise than stick to the job that is already mine. The obligations of Mount Olivet are immediate and insistent. In order to be met the constant services of its minister is demanded. Touched By Assurances. "I have been deeply touched by the many assurances of support which have come from friends of all political shades, and sincerely regret the necessity which forces me to disappoint those who have expressed such unbounded faith in my ability to win a seat in Congress at the coming election. "I trust that the vacancy will be filled by a candidate to whom all may be able to give their most loyal and enthusiastic support. "I pledge my unqualified support to a candidate of this type. "With deep appreciation of the high honor you have conferred upon me, and with the hope that you will see the situation in the light in which I have presented it, "I beg to remain, "Sneerey yours, "WILLIAM P. HAYES." Joseph Arnold Dies In Hospital After Throat Is Slashed In Knife Battle With Friend In Ace Garage Argument Over Placing of Taxicab Leads To Fatal Conflict That Ended When "Tippy" Williams Used Knife As Arnold Fell Joseph Arnold, 35, of 180 Edgecombe avenue, died Friday, August 10, at 3.55 o'clock, after his head had nearly been severed from his body in a knife battle with Robert ("Tippy") Williams, 36, of 214 West 130th street, the altercation occurring in the Ace Garage at 673 St. Nicholas avenue, early the same morning. Mr. Arnold owned and operated a taxicab which he kept in the Ace Garage. Williams was a washer, employed temporarily on the night watch in place of the regular man, who was on two weeks' vacation. It is reported that Arnold and Williams were friends, as well. Notwithstanding, it is reported that the two men engaged in a quarrel as to just where Arnold's taxicab should be placed in the garage when he brought it in early Friday morning. Another report is that the two men had been drinking together and that the quarrel grew out of an argument in which they engaged. WRITERS' PRAISE IS EXAGGERATED, SAYS DR. BRAWLEY Standards For A Negro's Work Should Be The Same As Others Both Men Used Knives Whatever the cause it appears that the disagreement developed into a physical combat, in which both men used kaiyos. It is said that the fight started on an upper floor, and was continued down the inclined ramp leading to the lower or ground floor, both men being slashed. It does not appear that there were any eye witnesses to the fight, but one report has it that as the combatants reached the lower end of the ramp, Arnold tripped and fell. As he lay prostrate, Williams, in his frenzy, fell on the prone body and slashed Arnold's neck, right and left sides, narrowly missing the jugular vein. When Arnold did not rise, Williams staggered, it is said, into one of the garage rooms where other employees were, all unconscious of the tragedy, and told that he was cut. These men, seeing that Williams was injured, rushed him out to a hospital for treatment, while Arnold lay unconscious and unattended on the ground outside the place. It is said he lay there for two hours before being taken to the hospital, and that the loss of blood during this period was really the cause of death. Regained Consciousness Taken finally to the Knickerbocker Hospital, Arnold regained consciousness during the day sufficient to tell his mother and sisters, who had been summoned to the hospital from Brooklyn, something of the fatal fracas. Williams, in the meantime, had been placed under arrest, charged with felonious assault, but when the police were informed, of Arnold's death, the charge was changed to homicide. Arraigned in the Washington Heights Court on Monday morning, Williams was remanded without bail to the Tomus Prison, for a hearing on August 18. The arrest was made by Detectives Teed and Oberhaus of the 5th Division, attached to the 15th Precinct. Mr. Arnold was a native of Greenville, S. C., coming to New York about twelve years ago. He has been married twice, and lived with the second wife and a 14-year old daughter by the first wife at 180 Edgcombe avenue. A brother, C. Arthur Arnold, lives at 1599 Pacific street, Brooklyn, and his mother is visiting a sister in Brooklyn, Mrs. John Madison, 505 Herkimre street. Other sisters, Mrs. Lyda Wilkinson and "Miss" Pet" Arnold, also live in Brooklyn, and a twin sister to Mrs. Madison, Alma, who lives in Baltimore, is in Brooklyn for the summer with her husband, who attended the summer school at Columbia University. Mr. Arnold was buried on Tuesday, August 14, at 1.30 p.m. from the undertaking establishment of Wainright & Daniels, 162 West 136th street.

WRITERS' PRAISE IS EXAGGERATED, SAYS DR. BRAWLEY Standards For A Negro's Work Should Be The Same As Others Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Benjamin G. Brawley, professor of English literature and on the Negro, closed a series, of lectures before the teacher-students of the summer school here Wednesday with an account of a trp through Europe, along the West Coast of Africa, and through the West Indies. His other lectures dealt with the Negro and with literature. Deploring what he termed exaggerated praise for some of the work of younger Negro writers, Professor Brawley insisted that "the same standards applied to the work of others should be applied to that of Negroes. We can not afford to be bound by any narrow racial lines for measuring achievements. The stamp of approval should be placed only on those works which can stand the test of good work." The real educator, Professor Brawley said, is the teacher who has direct contact with the student, and not the administrator, who all too often is merely a successful business man or a clever politician. The tendency today is to overvaluate the work of the man who erects buildings and to undervalue the work of the man who does the actual teaching of youth. Professor Brawley called attention to the three anniversaries of literary personages which are being celebrated this year: John Bunyan, born in 1628; Oliver Goldsmith, 1728; and Henrik Ibsen, 1828. Of these, Professor Brawley said the work of Bunyan is most likely to endure, because he contributed to the faith of the people. Veteran Teacher At Livingstone Is Dead Veteran Teacher At Livingstone Is Dead Salisbury, N. C.-In the death of Miss Victoria Richardson, a member of the faculty of Livingstone College, one of the landmarks of the institution has been removed. Miss Richardson had the rare distinction of having taught under every president that Livingstone College has had, beginning with Dr. J. C. Price. She served the institution 40 years, and at the funeral services, held in the college chapel, August 3, the various speakers brought out many of the fine points in her character. The funeral, oration was delivered by Dr. W. H. Goler, president-emeritus of Livingstone College, and testimonials were given by President Atkins of Winton-Salem Teachet's College; president W. J. Treat of Livingstone College; Miss Ida V. Smith, of Washington College; D. C., treasurer of the Women's Home and Foreign Mission Societies. Telegrams and letters of condolence were read by Dean R. E.

MOTON AS LEAGUE OBJECTIVE Asks Business Organization To Consecrate Years to Solidifying Race Commercial Enterprise The twenty-ninth annual session of the National Negro Business League opened on Wednesday morning, August 15, at 10.30 o'clock, with business men and women from all sections of the country in attendance, and with the unusual feature of an industrial exposition that showed not only New York City's commercial growth, but brought exhibits from as far West as Los Angeles, Cal., and with the National Government represented by a display of aids to the small business man as prepared by the Department of Commerce. The opening session, of the League was called to order by Alderman Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, who is president of the New York Local League which is host to the national body, in the main auditorium of Mother A. M. T. Zion Church, 151 West 137th street. The session was opened with singing of the "National Negro Anthem" by the audience, after which welcome addresses were delivered on behalf of the city, the doctors, the lawyers, the ministers and business men. Following the welcome addresses, the president, Dr. Robert Russa Moton, was introduced and responded on behalf of the delegates and visitors. enterprises which we have to the end that they may become larger and more useful. What Survey Disclosed. "The Business League surveyors have found out in this study of Negro business that too few of our business enterprises extend through the second generation, which represents a serious loss to the race. The records of American business show that it generally takes at least two generations to establish a successful business on permanent foundation; and when we find that only a small percentage of our business enterprises extend through the second generation, it means in effect that as a race, we are constantly starting over again, without A 10-Year Program. "A Ten-Year Program for Negro Business" was outlined in addresses by E. Washington Rhodes, editor Philadelphia Tribune, who spoke on "Place of the Press"; "Place of the Bank," Wilson Lovett, president 1st Standard Bank, Louisville Ky.; "Place of the Insurance Company." Ralph Harper, manager, National Benefit Life Insurance Co., Birmingham, Ala.; "Place of the Church." Rev. R. H. Bowling, pastor, 1st Baptist Church, Norfolk, Va.; "Place of the School," John W. Davis, president, West Virginia Institute; "Place of Fraternal Organzations." Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, grandworthy scribe, Order of St. Luke, Richmond, Va. The session on Wednesday night was marked by two features of outstanding interest, the presence of Mayor James J. Walker, who welcomed the League on behalf of the City of New York, and the annual address by Dr. Moton, president of the League. Alderman Fred R. Moore presided. "In his address, Dr. Moton sounded the keynote of the session which had been developed at the morning session, "A Ten-Yen Program for Negro Business," declaring that events of recent months "emphasize as never before the need of cooperation among Negro business men." Could Do No Better Thing. "We could do no better thing at this meeting than to dedicate ourselves for the next ten years to the task of solidifying our ranks in the field of commercial enterprises. This organization has taken some effective steps during the past year which should bring this ten-year program of cooperation to an immediate focus in the minds of our people. We have conducted a survey of Negro business to help us to diagnose our economic ills and find the best remedies for producing a sound and healthy body of business enterprise within the race. "On our recommendation the Department of Commerce of the U.S. Government, under the direction of Secretary Hoover, has organized a division in charge of Mr. J. A. Jackson, a member of our own race, to give special attention to the commercial problems of the Negro and to place the resources of the department at our disposal for their solution. The results thus far obtained have been most gratifying. "The survey of Negro business has been made possible through the interest of a large foundation which appropriated $15,000 to make this study. During the last year four men of our own race have visited twenty-seven cities looking into all problems affecting Negro business. These men have discovered many interesting facts which should challenge our attention and quicken our desire to strengthen the business 5 CENTS IN (TEN CENTS IN) U. S. A.

What Survey Disclosed. "The Business League surveyors have found out in this study of Negro business that too few of our business enterprises extend through the second generation, which represents a serious loss to the race. The records of American business show that it generally takes at least two generations to establish a successful business on permanent foundation; and when we find that only a small percentage of our business enterprises extend through the second generation, it means in effect that as a race, we are constantly starting over again, without making any substantial progress in any one direction. "Our survey has also shown that the records of our business enterprises are for the most part inadequate and ineffective. We live in a time when the course of business is charted upon facts and such facts are made available only through the keeping of accurate records. Too often we find our business men, particularly, the small retailers, seeking loans for sustaining their business when a more efficient system of bookkeeping or a change of method in handling and displaying goods would, enable that business to right itself. "Our surveyors are finding that in too few instances are adequate up-to-date methods in advertising employed by our business men. No business in this era of competition can survive without persistent advertising along approved liques. We can profit by a large use of proper advertising to secure the patronage of our own people. Cooperation Is Lacking. "Finally our surveyors are discovering that one of the deficiencies of Negro business is in the lack of cooperation between local business men. The Negro Business League has placed at the disposal of Negro business men, the most up-to-date method of effecting local organization. We do not quibble over names. Local organizations may be called local branches of the League, or they may choose any other name they may wish. "The point is, that without cooperation between our local business men in every city, we cannot hope to bring about the results which we all so much desire. It is appropriate therefore that at this session of our organization we should undertake a frank discussion of retail merchants. It is also important that we should give at least one session to a discussion of the ten-year program for retail merchants. "In the field of retail merchandising it has been discovered that Negro merchants are handling only two per cent of the business among colored people. Here is room for large expansion, and the gradual extension of this business among our people will mean the opening up of new business opportunities for the young men and women of our race. It is estimated that the ninety-eight per cent of the retail business which is not handled by Negro business men gives employment to six hundred thousand people. If for no other consideration than that, our attention should be focused upon the retail merchandise field. "It is also significant that in the field of retail merchandising the competition which Negro merchants are going to face is represented in gigantic mergers and chain stores, which competition can only be met with similar mergers among, one of business tenets, and the development of cooperation to the point where it will be to the advantage of these organizations to include the merger merchant in their better- "When we review the progress of the race covering the years since emancipation there is evidence of substantial progress along definite lines in the work and the problem of religion. Through patience, and the persistent efforts of Godly men and women of both races, the black man in America is definitely established in the Christian faith. There is no lack of education and training equipment for the development of high standards of character and the instruction of the youth of the race in morals and religion. We are all agreed as to the continuing need of religion and culture and there is a need to work among the denominations in their efforts along this line. No Educatin Problem. "There is no longer an educational problem within the race. Such a statement is almost startling when we recall how recently we were at odds over the question of the kind of education the Negro should have. Both races and all sections of the country have a progress of the race demands every type of education that has contributed to the progress of any other race. Nowhere in our country can the education of all the people as an accepted policy of all state and municipal governments well as has the education of the emergent. Education as such is no longer a problem for the Negro. "But in this matter of cooperation among various organizations and groups within our own race, the Negro is still facing a problem which thus far has proved most difficult of solution. As individualism has been fully vindicated our right, to the freedom which was won at such tremendous cost; but it is this very individualism that today stands in the way of our further progress. We have yet to learn how to coordinate our efforts; how to submerge our personal ambitions and to secure those larger benefits which can only come from united efforts. "Everybody knows that the only thing that today keeps us without representation in the National Congress is the inability of our race to represent us in the same way the handcaws which we face and the discriminations practiced upon us on public carriers and in other places of public accommodation are possible only because we have, not yet developed the means to represent us in such as have solved the same problem for other races in this country "Now there is probably less prejudice in business than there is in any form of human activity. There is competition, plenty of it, but business yields the same rewards whether the color of the dollar is green or yellow or gold or silver or purple, whether the brand of sentiment. We must demonstrate our capacity to cooperate among ourselves before demanding any cooperation where the resources of others are at stake; and business is the ultimate test of our ability to cooperate. Somehow we must learn this fundamental lesson. It will be costly; there will be some loss in the process but we must keep it up until we have developed within the team the capacity and unquestioned integrity, who can lead the way to larger achievements for the benefit of the whole race." Lessons From Failure. Failures in business are not confined to any race, nor to any age, nor are failures confined to any line of endeavor. We must "not permit failure to destroy our faith in ourselves, nor our faith in our people. This is the proper course business as business as other line of human endeavor, but two things stand out clearly. "One is that absolutely honesty is essential to substantial progress in business. Every man in business ful with the money of others as he is under obligation to be as care is with his own. It is bad enough that we have fortunes of those who command their care, but it is worse still to destroy the faith of hundreds." Don't Forget!!!

Y. One of the outstanding features of the 29th annual session of the National Negro Business League is the exhibition of industrial art, and businesses conducted by Negrota. The United States Department of Commerce sent the largest bibliographical publication of arts of statistics information on, small retail businesses throughout the country. This exhibit is under the supervision of James A. Jackson, a former New Yorker and newspaper man. The biggest feature of the Helm Manufacturing Company of Los Angeles, Calif., who sent a representative and samples of the colffins they manufacture to be shown at the convention. This company also manufactures furniture and is said to be the largest business of its kluu owned by Negrota. Other booths are occupied by the following: Bell and Delany, haberdashers; Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee, under direction of Mrs. Mable Doyle Keaton; Turd De Silva, milliner; De Silva, milliner; Williams and Kline, grocers; Mme.

There is also a both for information and where delegates may register. thousands of people in the integrity of our leaders and their capacity to administer a sacred trust. The second lesson is that the successful management of business requires intelligence and efficiency as any other line of public service. "One of the foremost business men of the nation, who is also a great friend of the Negro race, has said that the Negro is not yet ready for banking. Whether he is correct or not, it is certainly true that we have more money within our community than we have successfully managed. It is one thing to pile up assets and store them away for safe keeping; it is another thing to put them to work to multiply themselves and to increase the opportunities and well-being of those who are their ultimate owners. If these failures are not addressed in our methods, the final result will be far greater than the present loss. It "is now 28 years since the establishment of this organization by its distinguished founder Dr. Booker T. Washington. With character and vision, he saw and appreciated the intimate relations of economic progress to social welfare. He aimed to increase the opportunities within his own race and to stimulate the efforts of those who were struggling to gain a footing in the field of commerce. "We have witnessed the marvelous development of bushiness enterprises among our people; since he leased the land he plan, and so broadly did he lay the foundation that the impetus which he gave to this movement has not spent its force. While he constantly urged cooperation with other races, he was to the Negro self-reliance a waje way self-sufficient; and to me it is a matter of great satisfaction that this spirit which was so manifest in himself, is maintained in so strong a degree by those who are still in the bush, and are still the main support of the present administration.

One of the interesting features of the industrial exposition in connection with the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League being held this week at Mother A. M, E. Zion Church, is the booth in which Mme. Emma L. Pitts is displaying some of the activities of her establishments of 2169 and 3171 Seventh avenue. Mme. Pitts is, perhaps, the oldest woman member of the League today, and she is active and wideawake in her business activities. Her New York experiences date back to 1913, but prior to that, for a number of years, Mme. Pitts had conducted successfully a large dressmaking and millinery establishment in Boston, where she trained scores of girls in business exposition. Studied In Paris. One of the first steps taken by Mme. Pitts, after coming to New York, was to make a trip to Paris, where she studied designing and styles, returning in 1914 to do additional work in this line with one of New York largest Schools for modifiers and designers. And' in this same year she not only passed the exam, she was an outstanding figure in the styles exposition which was held in Madison Square Garden, showing original creations in gowns and millinery. Mme. Pitts, conducted an establishment in the Bronx at first, but soon transferred her field of endeavor to the downtown section. She opened at 226 West 49th, then at 138 West 51st and 143 West 52th, all at Broadway, her clientele 'embracing leading social lights, and later opened at 2160 Seventh avenue, in Harlem, to cater to customers of her own race. Developed Beauty Culture Here, in addition to dressmaking and millinery, Mme. Pitts has extended her activities to the beauty culture field. After extensive study and investigation, she developed the beauty Culture, and she uses also boil the Walker and Poro Systems in her establishment. Mme. Pitts' business career covers the whole of thirty-five years, and now she is planning to retire before she does this she plans to extend the benefits of her experience in as wide an area as possible. In January, 1927, she enrolled a class of six girls for a full course of free instruction in dressmaking, millinery and beauty culture, and she will day conducting lucrative establishments of their own. To Enroll Special Class. New, before retiring, Mme. Pittis is panning to enroll a special class of twenty-four girls, each of whom will be given a full course of instruction in the three lines of her endeavor, and the beauty culture course in the second. E. L. P. Course and the Walker and Poro Systems. This course will not be free, however, as was the case with the class of six. But the fee will only be a minimum one, and is stipulated for the reason that Mme. Pittis is anxious to have this group made up of those desirous of a future opportunity. For after the course is finished it is her plan to assist each of them in establishing themselves in business, and this plan includes even the putting of certain of them to succeed her in the conduct of her business, and the establishment and beauty parlor at 2169 and 2171 Seventh avenue where the classes will be instructed Personnel of Assistants Incidentally, it might be noted that in her thirty-five years of business activity, this will be the first time Mme. Pitt has exchanged a fee of any sort from an apprentice shop. In the dressmaking and millinery store, Mme. Pitt carries a full line of goods, including hats, niggees, lacks, scarfs, ribbons, flowers, er, and a comprehensive showcased these articles is being exhibited at the Business League booth. 895 By Tent Since 1873 Take Advice!

Peacock Offers a Cash Reward For Arrest and Conviction IMPOSTOR POSING AS COLLECTOR FOR SHAW UNIVERSITY Pres. Peacock Offers a Cash Reward For Arrest and Conviction The president of Shaw University, the Rev. Dr. Joseph L. Peacock, will pay a handsome cash reward for the apprehension and conviction one Dr. J. Smith, who is being a graduate and in the collector for Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. The latest information concerning the man Smith's activities the former Jamestown mayor through the Shaw University Morse pastor of the Immaculate Baptist Church, who tells of how the man works his schemes to mutilate the people by posing as a collector for Shaw, emphasizing his position by being the baby a nephew of President Peacock. Brands Smith As Impostor. President Peacock, in a letter to Rev. M. Morse, denounces the man as an impostor, declaring that Shaw has never had a man on the field soliciting funds, and branding as preposterous the claim made by Shaw that degrees can be bought from Shaw. Some idea of his manner of operation is cited by, M. Morse, who says the man's scheme is to get a minister to give him names of two or three wealthy people who are in sympathy with the Negro, of what is better, give him personal introductions. Then he presents his plea for the school, promising an official receipt to all givers. He works about one week, then decamps. Smith is wanted in Janestown, not only for his misrepresentations as to Shaw but for other swindlings as well. He claims to be a legally qualified physician, and carried two dark tan briefcases, one smaller than the other; also, a small case, with a physician's "radio" instrument, something like a syringe, four ounces, the point and capillus just below the point, and capsules that contain, when connected to this "radio" instrument, an intense that he declares to be a cure for rheumatism, which he says a German doctor got for him from Germany. Description of Smith. Smith is of a dark conglomerate, smooth, well-shaped face; height, about 5 feet, 7 or 8 inches; well built; weighs about 150 pounds; dressed neatly in drak-gray or black business suit; shoes, low-cut, about No. 7; wears fancy silk dress; height about 30 to 36 feet; talks much of his knowledge of medicine, and seeking a place to locate. Dr Peacock, whose nephew the most claims to be, is a white man, native of Rhode Island, graduate of Newton theological Seminary, liveth until the末 years of his graduation went to the presidency of Shaw. He has no relative by the name of Smith. Rain prevented the scheduled street parade of the marching clubs affiliated with the Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. O.

The King Bees had the second largest number of members in line. Texas Federal Judge William H. Atwell, sitting in the Brooklyn Federal Court during the summer vacation, accompanied by all of his southern prejudice and racial inhibitions, took advantage of his position to vent his spleen upon Italian and Negroes, when he excoriated unmercifully an Italian lawyer fighting for rights of his clients; and at the same time advised the Italian client to move from her home because she had Negro neighbors. FOR SALE IN NEW ROCHELLE 150 Feet Front with 200 Feet Deep TWENTY ROOM HOUSE The Texan, evidently upset because it had been brought out in trial of the case in which Attorney F. R. Serri was defending Mrs. Angeline de Luca, that Mrs. de Luca lived at 285 Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, in which neighborhood there are a number of Negro families, took occasion to offer her some gratuitous advice as to the locality of her domicile. Lawyer Get Jail Threat But before doing that the learned and erudite jurist had transgressed all records in the Federal Court by calling Attorney Serri, who had exclaimed, "I was to the veracity of certain officers who had testified in the case, that—" "Now, out in my country, out in Texas, had you, Mr. Serri, made such an accusation against an officer of the law, the officer would get out of the court, fear before you if he had sufficient control over himself, he would have waited until he got outside to take his personal vengeance." And when Attorney Serri protested his tenure in the position, that in fifteen years praised him in New York no court had ever rebuked him as in this instance, declaring it unfair and unwarranted, the choleric Texan Judge interrupted him with the query: "What would you go to jail with your client? Unless you stop talking I'll take that action." Told Woman To Move." And then, in conclusion his harangue to the lawyer, Judge Atta-Mohammed, advised her to move out of the Hudson avenue neighborhood. It had been testified that Negroes but not white and privatized her store. Said Atta-Mohammed. The fact that they do live together, even in Texas, had no weight. Incidentally, Judge Atwell sent Mrs de Luca to jail. The colored people of Brooklyn gave stout expression to the indignations aroused by the Texas judge's painful attack at a mass meeting held on Wednesday night. August. 15. in the new Community House on Fulton street, opposite Lewis avenue. Writes Chief Justice Taft Attorney Serri, whose offices are at 66 Court street, Brooklyn, has laid the matter before Chief Jus- tice Attorney Robert B. Sullivan, the Supreme Court, Washington, in a formal complaint against the rebuke administered to him by Judge Atwell. Mr Serri accuses Judge Atwell of expressing "private prejudices" and advises as to where white people should or should not live. It goes on to state Mr. Serri's belief that "in all judicial annals there cannot be found "such open inite- ture" as to the breach of the peace" as was contained in Judge Atwell's remarks. Attorney Serri's Letter Mr. Serris's letter leads in part as follows: "If you anayze the quotations, they express, in effect, his Judge (Audrey) of colored people advice as to where white people should and should not live, the surprising opinion, in substance, that the veracity of an officer or prohibition agent's testimony must not be questioned; that his testimony should not be before a jury attacks such testimony forcefully as perjury, then he is to be rebuke and shamelessly insulted; that in 'his country,' wherever that may be, such a comment by the attorney would result in his being 'smashed', to use the Judge's own elegant language and by indirection, with almost unspeakable vulgarity*practically appearing and inciting the opposition of officers of such court in this city, I doubt whether in all judicial annals there can be found such open incitement to public disorder and breach of the peace as the words of this Judge); further, that the defendant was unfortunate in her choice of an attorney, and that the defense of her protested that his criticism and innuendoes against me were unfair, unwarranted and indefensible." Cowardly Usurpation "I say it is either extraordinary naivete or ignorance for a judge to practically assume that prohibition agents, or those acting as such, tell the truth on the stand. It is common knowledge that a declarative testimony that of prohibition agents. Whether it be the enormous temptations or the 'dirty business' itself of snoooping, spying and nosing about that causes the disintegration of even some people I do not know. But as to the central fact there can be little doubt. "However, even assuming that the question of the 'credibility of prohibition agents is debatable, the right of the defendant to comment in the most vigorous fashion as to the truth or falsity of the testimony of any witness is so elementary that it seems incredible that it could be done this time. And yet, that is what this judge did. Because I emphatically attacked the testimony of the officers, I was assailed by the judge in an arrogant cowardly and insinuating manner indicated by his remarks. Graduate of Yale "As to my competency and reputation which he has slandered without any cause, I need only say at this time that no graduate of Yale and of the Yale Law School requires any instruction from the judge as a professor of law. My profession. I am willing to let any jury of my peers pass upon my qualifications, at any time. The question at issue, however, is more important than that. It is the insolent and cowardly, suspation of power. When a judge is not longer a court room of law, it is transformed into a petty ignoble and private-depositism. Against such indefensible abuse of power, a decent respect for the dignity of my profession compels he to protest to the very tumult of the court, for manfully upholding, his rights against abuse is the last refuge of the cowardly and tyrannical judge. Such despotic conduct, unworthy and unbecoming a judge of an American court, must be promptly and effectively curbed to the profession will be—reduced to a cringing and fawning occupation, loathsome to all free and independent men."

And some people have not stopped at wondering— they decided to do something about it for they found that colored girls were greatly in need of the kind of residence clubs already provided in other sections of the city for other groups of girls. There are two such residence clubs for col- ored girls, compared to about 70 for other groups. The selection of houses for this purpose and the responsibility for the management was left to Mrs. Mildred P. Stokes Hocker of the Association to Promote Proper Housing for Girls, and Mrs. Lillian A. Alexander, who brought to the attention of the Association, the need of this project for colored girls in 1917. Bought on W. 127th Street.

Mrs. MARTHA GRAY, Prop. and Owner Saratoga, Famous for Its Mineral Springs and Baths Well Cooked Nutritious Food Served BISHOP BRATTON AT MISSISSIPPI SUMMER ASSEMBLY Camp and School Is Recreational and Educational Centre Waveland, Miss.-Gulfside Assembly, an educational and recreational center for Negroes, is now in the midst of a summer program whose variety and success augurs for the institution a future of the greatest usefulness. Among the notable features of the summer have been a camp for colored boys, one for girls, a teacher's summer school conducted by the State of Mississippi, a college extension course given by teachers of New Orleans University and carrying college credits, a school for religious leaders, and soon to be held, a school for pastors. In addition to the hundreds who have enrolled in these various activities, there have been many visitors attracted to the Assembly by its fine bathing beach and unusual facilities for wholesome vacation. Bishop Bratton speaks Sunday, July 29, was observed by the Assembly as Interracial Day, and addresses were digested by Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, Mississippi's most prominent litteregyman, and Dr Will W. Alexander, director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Bishop Bratton pointed out that up to the present most people have worshipped "tribal gods," and maintained that, more than anything else, humanity needs a practical conception of a universal Father and the consequent brotherhood of all. Dr Alexander emphasized the extent and importance of interracial cooperation, which, he said, has been productive of great Good in the past and has a future of even greater usefulness. He said that the success which has attended the education of Negroes in the nation has seemed incalculable service to the world, aulating and encouraging the education of backward peoples everywhere. The meeting was attended by a number of prominent white people of this community, who from the very first have been very sympathetic and helpful in building up the Assembly. The State also is manifesting its interest by building a concrete road out to the property, which will add greatly to its accessibility and convenience. The Assembly, which has several hundred acres of Gulf coast already improved, has been promoted principally by Bishop Robert E. Jones, of New Oceans, as a great non-denominational summer conference and recreational grounds for the several million colored people within a radius of a few hundred miles. 2285, SEVENTH AVENUE Bet, 134th and 135th Sts.

E. MARTIN, Oak SWIFTWATER Mt. Pocono, Penn. Address Harrison Travers and Stafford Johnson Convicted On Charge Of Impersonating Officers Of the Law Told Woman Whose Home Had Been Robbed That For $100 They Would Recover and Restore To Her All of Her Stolen Property Posing as officers of the law, in an effort to mulct Mrs. L. Quarles of 520 St. Nicholas avenue of $100 on the pretense of aiding her to recover articles which had previously been stolen from her home, Harrison Travers and Stafford Johnson are in the toils of the law, facing long prison sentences after being convicted in Special Sessions Court, Part I, of such illegal impersonating. Travers, who gave his address as 126 West 129th street, where he claimed to have a room in the home of Sarah Brown, assumes also the regalia of a Baptist minister, claiming to have been duly ordained, with authority to officiate at weddings and other ministerial functions, and to have been an accredited delegate to the recent Baptist State Convention. Mr. Smith's activities in securing evidence of this fellow's machinations resulted in a long penitentiary sentence for him. As a probation officer during these twenty years, Mr. Smith says he has consistently avoided politics, save on one occasion when he was prevailed on to accept nomination for election to the Assembly, and that he was mighty glad to be defeated. He has been friendly for Jonson is said to be a cook, and to have been employed as such by a brother, who conducts a restaurant at 208 Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, which he gives as his home address. Both Have Records. "Both have criminal records. Travers was convicted this past March on a petition larceny charge, and served three months as a result. He was released early in July Johnson was tried before the Supreme Court, Kings Co., in 1920, on a charge of rape. On his offer to marry the girl and to pay her $3 weekly for support of the child, sentence was suspended. This he claims to have done, but the girl is said to be living in the South and there is no evidence to support his claim. Their present predicament is due to an endeavor to persuade Mrs. Quarles that they were connected with some sort of an agency, called "Bahal," and that if she would pay them $100 her stolen goods would be quickly recovered and returned intact to her Johnson is alleged to have been the solicitor, and he called on Mrs. Quarles to make the tender. Shr. declares that he bothered her at intervals during the day, and that in the evening both Johnson and Travers put in an appearance, and that they persisted in their propositions until around 10 o'clock in the morning. They exhibited no legal evidence that they were officers of the law and finally, tired of their persistence, Mrs. Quarles called in an officer and had them arrested. Smith Uncovers Records. Their records were unearthied by John T. Smith, probation officer, attached to the Special Sessions Court who states that Travers made an attempt to influence him by an offer of "fiving" Smith up if he showed any favor in Travers' behalf. Mr. Smith has been a probation officer with this court for twenty years, and has had many an interesting experience, particularly with that group of law breakers who believe in getting a living by exercise of their wits. He says that while Travers had no visible means of support, he must have posed successfully as a minister, for he seemed to be in prosperous circumstances. He told of a case some years ago which he handled, in which a suave, shrewd smooth talking man worked upon gullible Harlemites with astonishing ease. He pretended possession of some kind of magic-working charm, which was calculated to help its possessor by means of an unknown power, which he would give to those proving themselves to be worthy. But, the gift of a charm had always to be followed by the gift of a gold piece to the innocent purveyor. Coal As A Magic Charm.

Greer, of Union County, South Carolina, a handsome bronze medal in recognition of his successful stand against a mob bent on lynching one of his prisoners. The award was passed upon by a committee composed of ex-Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Atlanta; Marshall Ballard, editor of the New Orleans Item; George B. Dealey, editor of the Dallas News; and Mrs. J. H. McCoy, president of Athens College, Ala. The medal was presented to Sheriff Greer by Lewis M. Rice, editor of the Union Times. . Defied Mob of 700 The incident on which the award was based took place on July 30, 1927, when a mob numbering 700 gathered around the Union County jail with the purpose of lynching Albert Simpson, colored, accused of the shooting of a white man. Sheriff Greer, calling in his deputies and members of the local and rural police, stood off the mob until he could communicate with Governor Richards with a request for troops who were immediately dispatched and arrived within less than an hour. In nominating Sheriff Greer for the Commission's medal, Editor Rice pointed out that his courage and resourcefulness in this emergency were fully in keeping with a distinguished family record, both in Confederate and Revolutionary times. When interviewed relative to the award, Sheriff Greer said: "My folks deserve more credit than I do; they brought me up to do my duty." Hackensack Boy Wins Coveted Prize At Bowdoin College, Me. Hackensack, N. J.—Word has just been received from Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, that the Hiland Lockwood Fairbanks, Prize for excellence in English has been awarded to E. Fredrie Morrow of this city. This young man is the son of Rev and Mrs. J E. Morrow who are prominent in the civic affairs of the city. Mr. Morrow is continuing the success achieved in High School At his graduation in 1925, he was the first student in the history of the school to win three gold letters for excellence in debating; the first Negro to ever make the team, and the first race captain of any team in the school. He is interested in athletics and lately has been making a very promising record in golf. Miss Nellie K. Morrow his sister, is the first and only Negro teacher in the local school system Schoolboy Employees of Hudson River Night Line Strike As a Protest Against Discrimination 23 Porters and Hallmen Walk Off S S Trojan When Company Fires Head Porter After He Had Blocked Segregation Move Twenty-three young men working on the Steamship Trojan of the Hudson River Night Line, running between New York City and Albany, went on strike last Thursday, delaying the boat's sailing nearly an hour, as a protest against the discharge of Leslie Furlonge, chief porter, whose manly stand had blocked an attempt at segregation on part of the boat's steward and crew a few days before. The Trojan was only able to make the trip to Albany after half of the crew from her sister ship had been taken. A telephone call to Albany caused the two boats that sailed from Albany to take time to leave a part of their crew in Albany for the Trojan and the other boat sailing from New York. Proteated Eating Orders. Trouble aboard the Trojan started early last week when C. Leming, (white), the new steward, who is said to be a southerner, attempted o pu all colored employees on the boat in the dining room used by the stokers and employees of the freight department. Such segregation had never before been practiced on the boat and Chief Fudlonge, a recent graduate of Shaw University and who expects to enter the Howard University Dental School this fall, voiced a strong protest to the boat's captain in behalf of the Negro employees. The captain had the order changed so that the Negro porters and hallmen would continue rating in the regular dining room but backed up the steward in that he permitted them to be shut off in a particular section. The steward expressed his displeasure, at Furlonge and is alleged to have declared he would get even. Increased Negro Vote Washington, D. C.-The Negro vote, expected to play an important part in the November election, has greatly increased within recent years, according to a report from the Census. Bureau One reason is the transfer of hundreds of thousands of men and women from the Southern States to the North. East and West, where suffrage laws are less stringent. In 1920, the number of Negro voters in New York was 142,544. It is estimated that 15,000 or more have been added since. New Jersey has approximately 80,000. Pennsylvania nearly 200,000; Illinois, 150,000; Indiana, 60,000; Ohio, 195,000; Tennessee, 245,395; Kentucky, 150,000; Missouri, 140,000; Maryland, 145,000; Oklahoma, 80,000 and Kansas, 40,000; Massachusetts, 50,000; Connecticut, 150,000. In Rhode Island, Vermont. New Hampshire and Maine the numbers are smaller. --Furlonge Is Discharged. When the Trojan arrived in New York Thursday morning, Furlonger who was completing his fifth summer in the Night Lake boats, was called to the office of the company and there discharged on the pretext that he had been bootlegging. The porters and hallmen, working under Furlonge, did not know of his discharge until Thursday afternoon, but when they returned to the boat, they immediately demanded that he be re-employed, or that they be given the evidence upon which the discharge had been based. They were told that Furlonge had sold whiskey to a detective two weeks before. When one inquired why the detective did not arrest him, the company official refused to answer. However, he emphatically stated that the company no longer desired Furlonge's services. His fellow employees responded to this remark as a unit and walked from the boat, declaring that they would not work unless Furlonge was given back his job. To Sue For Damages. The action of these porters is more to be commended when it is realized that the month of August, because of the races at Sarapoga, is the best month for the men on the Night Line boats. And the porters were making real sacrifice when they quit at that time. Many of them are also attending colleges in the South and the loss of their jobs may mean that they will not be able to return to school this fall. Mr Furlonge is a brother to Dr. H Rowland Furlonge of 101 West 141st street, this city. He has another brother who is a physicist in North Carolina Dr Charles W. Furlonge of Smithfield. Because his brothers are physicians, and the charge that he is a bootlegger may hurt their standing as well as his own reputation. Mr. Furlonge has been advised to entreat suit against the Hudson Navigation Corp. for slander. He says that he is determined to make them produce the man to whom he is allied. He has so solved the inquor and make the prey present the charge to be true or pay damages. He declared to a representative of The Age that the charges against him could not be proved.

In accepting the Republican party nomination for the Presidency, Secretary Herbert Hoover made his most extended and direct expression of political policies since he has entered public life. Denoting his attitude toward the functions of government, he observed that the points of contact between the former and the people are constantly multiplying and every year more government policies become more vital in ordinary life. He believes that our problems grow, so do the temptations to stray from the principles upon which the republic was founded. He insists that economic progress must be directed in support of moral and spiritual progress. While the party platform deals mainly with economic problems, Mr. Hoover regards the nation not merely as an agglomeration of railroads, ships, factories and statistics, but as a nation of homes, women and children. He says that every man has right to ask whether the United States is a better place for him and his family to live in because the Republican party has conducted the government for the past eight years. It was that light that he proposed to discuss the questions before him. This is the view of a humanitarian who rate the welfare of the people higher than mere economic advancement, though that phase of material progress may aid to make living easier and reduce suffering and disease. With this tendency to regard the human sides of the problem, Mr. Hoover discussed various means of aiding agriculture, which he classed as a dozen distinct industries incapable of the same organization but all entitled to share in the national prosperity. He repeated the statement of his position on the Eighteenth amendment, in that he does not favor its repeal but stands for the efficient enforcement of the laws. He maintains that the country has undertaken in prohibition "a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose," which must be worked out constructively. Mr. Hoover also seems to recognize that there are other amendments to the Constitution than the Eighteenth, for he said: While the party platform deals mainly with economic problems, Mr. Hoover regards the nation not merely as an agglomeration of railroads, ships, factories and statistics, but as a nation of homes, of women and children.

He maintains that the country has undertaken in prohibition "a great social-and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose," which must be worked out constructively. Mr. Hoover also seems to recognize that there are other amendments to the Constitution than the Eighteenth, for he said: Modification of the enforcement of the laws which would permit that which the Constitution forbids is nullification. This the American people will not countenance. Change in the Constitution can and must be brought about only by the straightforward methods provided in the Constitution itself. There are those who do not believe in the purposes of the Constitution. No one denies their right to seek to amend it. They are not subject to criticism for asserting that right. But the Republican Party does deny the right of any one to seek to destroy the purposes of the Constitution by indirection. Whoever is elected President takes an oath not to faithfully execute the office of the President but that oath provides still further that he will, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I should be untrue to my oath of office, were I to declare otherwise. Mr. Hoover's attitude of looking at political problems in the light of the human rights affected, was also shown in the following paragraphs: Mr. Hoover's attitude of looking at political problems in the light of the human rights affected, was also shown in the following paragraphs: Equality of opportunity is the right of native-born, irrespective of faith or color. It is the right of every individual to attain that position in life to which his ability and character have been alone hold open the door of opportunity to every new generation, to every boy and girl. It tolerates no privileged classes or castes or groups who would hold opportunity as their preferable. Only from confidence that this right will he upheld can flow that unbounded courage and hope which stimulates each individual man and woman to achieve to achievement. The sum of their achievement is the gigantic harvest of national progress. This ideal of individualism based upon equal opportunity to every citizen is the negation of Despotism. It is as if we set a race. We, through free and universal education, provide the training of the runners; we give to them an equal start; we provide in the Government the umpire of fairness in the winner in the who shows the most conscientious training, the greatest character. Socialism bids all to end the race equally. It holds back the speedy to the pace of the slowest. Anarchy would provide neither training nor umpire. Despotism picks those who should run and those who should win. If the candidate for the Presidency maintain this attitude during his campaign, and if elected, make these utterances the principles by which his administration is guided, it would undoubted- If the candidate for the Presidency can maintain this attitude during his campaign, and if elected, make these utterances the principles by which his administration is guided, it would undoubted- ly tend to correct many evils from which we now suffer. we now suffer. There is more of the humanitarian and the director of relief about this acceptance than of the politician bent upon getting votes. Mr. Hoover's aims are always high, although he seems oblivious to some phases of political history which show that his party has relaxed at times in its vigilance in enforcing the Constitution. His advocacy of the rights of the individual to equal opportunity is refreshing in this time of side-stepping and pussyfooting around moral issues. POLITICAL REPRESENTATION. POLITICAL REPRESENTATION. The cause of representation of the race in politics received another repulse in the designation of Abraham Grenthal for the State Assembly last week. The action of the Republican committeemen of the Nineteenth Assembly district was in direct opposition to the popular opinion of the voters of the district, the majority of whom felt that Mr. Grenthal should retire. However, the steam roller methods adopted by Grenthal's machine were successful and the meeting after a bitter struggle endorsed the present Assemblyman, who has served four terms. What drastic measures were necessary to bring about Mr. Grenthal's designation, was shown by the fact that many of those who voted for him did so in direct violation of pledges to support his opponent. The cause of representation of the race in politics received another repulse in the designation of Abraham Grenthal for the State Assembly last week. The action of the Republican committee of the Nineteenth Assembly district was in direct opposition to the popular opinion of the voters of the district, the majority of whom felt that Mr. Grenthal should require. However, the steam roller methods adopted by Grenthal's machine were successful and the meeting after a bitter struggle endorsed the present Assemblyman, who has served four terms. What drastic measures were necessary to bring about Mr. Grenthal's designation, was shown by the fact that many of those who voted for him did so in direct violation of pledges to support his opponent. This victory of the machine over those who endeavored to give the real representation in legislative office was only the first skirmish in a contest that must be decided by the Republican voters of the district. The majority of these voters are Negroes and they are entitled to the same measure of representation in politics as the voters of those districts which have a preponderance of Irish, Jewish or Italian voters. But if they want such representation they must be ready and willing to fight for it in the same way that the Italian voters supported Congressman LaGuardia, when the machine leaders tried to turn him down. The most effective way to do this at the present stage of the struggle is to vote for Myles A. Paige at the primary. Mr. Paige is a popular young lawyer who would make an excellent candidate for the Assembly. No disloyalty to party principles, would be involved in voting for him at the primary and his choice as the regular candidate would give Negroes of the district real representation. His designation by the county committeemen was prevented only by the extreme methods used in putting pressure upon those holding offices and the threats of dismissal if they failed to obey machine orders. The methods used to prevent the colored voters of Harlem from exercising the measures of political leadership, that nightly belongs to them by reason of their numbers, are at times clumsy as well as devious. In this Grenthal case, the political machine roller was used withoutrifice to crush any opposition. Then to cover a similar grab of the Assembly nomination in the adjoining district, which also has a majority of Negro voters, it was proposed to divide representation by naming a Negro for Congress while whites are named for the State Senate and Assembly. The point of this arrangement is that if Negroes were named for the Assembly in either the Nineteenth or Twenty-first district, they would have a good chance of election, because of the majority of Negro votes in those districts. The campaign for Congress is an entirely different proposition, as sixty-five percent of the voters are white and many of the Republicans so narrow-gauged that they need to be educated up to the point of voting for a Negro candidate for Congress. The mockery of such a division of legislative nominations is apparent. It would only fool those ignorant of conditions or those who want an excuse to be boiled. The first step toward escaping from the humiliating denial of self-representation of the Negro voters of Harlem is for them to vote in the primary for a candidate of their own choice. Let them support Myles A. Paige for Assembly instead of Abraham Grenthal. That is the only way to get the representation they are seeking. Political representation is not a gift that is won by the asking. It must be taken by force of ballots. WHY NEGRO VOTERS INCREASE. According to a recent report of the Census Bureau, there has been a large increase in the number of Negro voters during the past ten years. This is attributed to the migration of thousand of men and women from the Southern states to the North, East and West where no discrimination is made in voting qualifications. Due to this fact, it is expected that the race vote will play more important part in the November election than ever before in the history of the country. This victory of the machine over those who endeavored to give the race real representation in legislative office was only the first skirmish in a contest that must be decided by the Republican voters of the district. The majority of these voters are Negroes and they are entitled to the same measure of representation in politics as the voters of those districts which have a preponderance of Irish, Jewish or Italian voters.

WHY NEGRO VOTERS INCREASE According to a recent report of the Census Bureau, there has been a large increase in the number of Negro voters during the past ten years. This is attributed to the migration of thousand of men and women from the Southern states, to the North, East and West where no discrimination is made in voting qualifications. Due to this fact, it is expected that the race vote will play a more important part in the November election than ever before in the history of the country. Taking the figures of 1920, the number of Negro voters in New York State was given as 142,543. It is estimated that fifteen thousand and more have been added since. Naturally these figures cannot be relied upon, as the census takers invariably understate the number of the colored population, owing to the inability of the average white man to determine to which race many of those listed should be assigned. In case of doubt, they are invariably classified as white. It is safe to assume, therefore, that all these census figures are understated rather than overstated. As to the increase of new voters, that is not so easy to determine, as many of those from the South are slow to avail themselves of their newly acquired privilege of casting a ballot. Other states in the North are credited with the following number of Negro voters: New Jersey has approximately 80,000; Pennsylvania nearly 200,000; Illinois, 150,000; Indiana, 60,000; Ohio, 195,000; Tennessee, 245,395; Kentucky, 150,000; Missouri, 140,000; Maryland, 145,000; Oklahoma, 80,000, and Kansas, 40,000; Massachusetts, 50,000; Connecticut, 25,000. In Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine the numbers are smaller. While there has been an appreciable increase in the number of our voters in the last few years it is not in proportion to the growth of the population, at least in New York City. This may be due to the neglect of the newcomers to register and vote, their desire having declined from long inhibition. There is also the large proportion of West Indians who retain their foreign citizenship, rather than naturalize and become full-fledged American citizens. Nevertheless, there is a large enough number of Negro voters in the North to make their support worth something to either party. What they need is an efficient and trustworthy leadership from their own ranks. The present disposition of machine Republican leaders is to discourage rather than support the enrollment of colored voters. In order to make his vote an effective factor in politics, the Negro must evolve his own leaders and support them loyally. TO HELP UNMARRIED MOTHERS. That there should be such a class of unfortunates as unmarried mothers is of course repugnant to the laws of organized society, which formerly placed them outside the pale and left them to shift with other sinners. The sentiment of today has become a little more tolerant of such lapses, and while still condemning the sinners, takes pity on their plight and seeks to relieve their lot by affording them refuge and relief while, undergoing the ordeal of motherhood. In many cases, it is even urged that these unfortunate girls are more, sinned against than sinning, their predicament often being due to ignorance rather than vice. At any rate civilized society has recognized the necessity of making some provision for the unmarried mother, regardless of whether her condition was due to her ignorance of the world or to a voluntary lapse from the path of rectitude. The Katy Ferguson Home, which has assumed the task of caring for girls and women in this condition, is doing a much needed work for those of the race who otherwise would be without relief or shelter. Ten thousand dollars a year is required to run this home, of which its managers would, like to have members of the race contribute five thousand. This is a work of relief which should appeal to all those who realize the needs of the class of unfortunate girls and women who gladly seek its aid and shelter. A yearly contribution towards its upkeep should be kept in mind by all those who are charitably inclined. LIBERIA AND RUBBER Since the attempt to use a report emanating from British sources on the Firestone rubber exposition in Liberia, as Democratic campaign material, on the ground that forced native labor was to be employed, anything relating to that subject is of interest. In a recent book, entitled "Liberia—Old and New" by James L. Sibley of the American Advisory Committee on Education in Liberia and Prof. D. Westerman of the University of Berlin, in a chapter devoted to Economic Development, particular attention is paid to the rubber industry. We are told that in 1904, a concession was granted to a British rubber company for the development of a rubber plantation at Mount Barclay, ten miles from Monrovia, and in 1910, plantings were begun. At the outbreak of the World War about 1,100 acres were actually under cultivation, comprising about 175,000 trees. This plantation was later abandoned and reverted to the Liberian government. When the price of rubber under British control rose to such a height that the Firestone people considered trying its production in Liberia, this abandoned plantation was taken over by that company. It has been successfully operated by them for three years, hence their undertaking to develop larger areas and the securing of a concession for as much as a million acres. The conditions, laid down for the production of rubber on a large scale, which were met by the Liberian government, were: Stability and sympathy of the government. Favorable health conditions. Suitable soil, climate and an even distribution of rainfall. An available supply of native labor. The loan of five million dollars was advanced for the development of roads, harbors and other internal improvements. The cultivation of rubber on the scale proposed is said to offer great opportunities for the improvement of native conditions, it being a phase of industry with which the natives are more or less familiar. THE AGE READERS' FORUM Lemus Answers L. R. Coles Editor/of The New York Age: Editor/of The New York Age: My knowledge and conviction in the business of the porters' "de facto" union, Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, are honest men. I never have said or written anything to the contrary, joint indictment with George Washington, and New York Age of August 11 notwithstanding. Moreover, I refuse to be indicted with Mr. Ford, whose sole concern seems to have been for The Pullman Company—his prerogative, as I am worried on the Pullman porter's account. After accusing me of questioning the honesty of Messrs. Randoph, Des, Verney and Lancaster, Mr. Coltes proceeds to show that the daily papers and periodicals comment almost daily in highest terms on the porters' daily press which sent out to the world great praise for the achievement of Dr. Cook's brotherhood officers are honest men—because they are, and I know it; not forasmuch as some news papers say so. I have never contacted a more sincere person that Mr. A. Philip Richardson, of the more sincere in pressing his Jasperian theory of the solar system. There is no fault to find with Randoph's sincerity, and I have as clearly as I am capable of making a thing clear stated in these colloquial my criticisms of that young man Mr. Ford may speak for himself. H Lemus, as Mr. L. R. Coles says he believes, is "trying to obfuscate the issue," union Pullman managers to the contrary found his position in the organization if Mr. Coles is not a Pullman porter—union or otherwise—there is no concern on my account for Mr. L. R. Coles' failure to understand the organization's desires to live the organizing men, therefore, Lemus, who lives by organizing men, should not pick a quarrel with Randolph. Mr. L. R. Coles' did not put it this way—that is the impossible logical sequence of his "put." I do not live by organizing men: I live by serving men who are organized, and who organized themselves, when not organizing, was "organized." I live by waiting on a waiter on the New Haven Railroad at their request until the Brotherhood of Damn Car Employees was three years old; and then had already conducted the "240-hour-month" through the "240-hour-month" agreements on the New England lines, the New York Central, the Pennsylvania Railroads—which are still in vanilla boaring my sigature as a form of effect, but Pennsylvania representative, that I was a New Haven waiter when I made the presentation to the Railroad Administration which brought the "240-hour-month, punitive overtime" to the cook and food service in dining car service all over the United States, and I was a New Haven waiter when I successfully resisted the post-war cut before WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA The Lillooah strike has been called to yield to the demands of the Agents of the railway because there was parvailing there, coincidence that on account a fishplate being removed on the railway would have been used to aid the war. Primitive agriculture is already the chief means of livelihood for the natives, the people working for the chiefs who largely control their labor. In working for a rubber company, it is stated that the native would himself receive his wages, thus breaking down the clan system and substituting free labor in its place. It is admitted that this has some disadvantages as well as advantages, but the author regards it as the natural course of evolution wherever industrial development has taken place. It will thus be seen that besides the opposition of the British rubber interests to the Liberian concession, there is apt to be dissatisfaction on the part of the native chiefs, who will no longer share the earnings of their clansmen. the Labor Board in 1921, which saved to every cook $10.20 per month, and to every waiter $5.10 per month. That was seven years ago: So figure out how much all the cooks at $12.40 per year each and all the walters of the United States at $61.20 per year; have been thoughtful about the theredom of Dilining Car Employees —all before I gave up my perfectly good job on the New Haven Rail road! And, moreover, I have picked no quarrel with Mr. Randolph. My course is fully understood by who advise with me, and who thor- oughly realize what benefits it pur- ports to bring to the Pullman man- ters as a union. It has been neces- sary more than once for a rescu- er to first render a drowning person, and yet the rescuer from being drown- ed by the frantic drowning man. What the Pullman porter most needs is to be saved from his "friends". Por instance, Mr. L. R. Cole says " whatever Mr. L. Lemus organizes it in the offices of the dining car employees, and they approve or disapprove it, as they see fit. This is not true of the Pullman porters, it is a militant organization, which undertakes, as far as possible, to demand certain things." This is a new type labor union—the "militant type", which means shooting a cannon to Mar. The only known labor union is the collective bargaining type; and union representatives can only bargain collectively with the employers of their union members; that has been the Porters' union fight—to force, the Pullman machine, the bargaininghood of 'Sleeping Car Porters so that it can collectively bargain on wages and rules with the Pullman managers on behalf of the porters and maids. as the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, recognized by the greatest carriers of the country, bargains collectively for its cooks waiters members. "The bargaininghood cannot be expected to submit what the members direct in way of proposals to Seventh Avenue, Heywood Brown, the New York World, Bishop Ranson, the Presbyterian Church, Norman Thomas, Poro College, the Elks, President Coolidge, the Masons, the sororites, the Knights of Columbus, the Amsterdam News. Only militant unions do, which is hope! If "Lemus seeks to take his organization into politics" it is only natural. Politics, solely politics, is the heart of the organization, have securely bound the wrists of peters' union in the matter of getting recognition. And they will remain so bound until released by politics! There are plenty of sociologists, economists, psychologists, at the dispense of the job. R. I. McCole, Mr. R.

Intellectual grouping that destroyed the Labor Movement in 1828, and so effectively until it never came back until the rise of Sam Gompers, an uneducated cigarmaker, 50 years afterward. RIENZI B. LEMUS Washington, D. C. allegations are made *or* inhumane cruelty against the Railway staff by the sulpher letters. The charge of removing the dislipate is levelled against the Strikers by some of the yellow-journals, and by some of the Calcutta paper. The Portward has challenged one and all to come with their proofs in the newspapers to have hards in this bloody casualty which number over 300. The Railway team had not arrived for the harrowing and a few wounded porters ger by this unfortunate train states that he is prepared to prove that over 300 of the wounded porters had not arrived over half the number would have been saved.

Famine In Bengal There is acute famine now prevalent for more than six months in the six states where the peaks were made by the stricken towns to the Zamandirs and the government to the Zamandirs, and the government to the Zamandirs refused to consider that any self-fell from them was due to the riots, allowing even a worse motion. The discussion on the adjournment motion to provision for the parthenium spirit of the government has attracted the popular In the column of Political Comment in the California Voice of Oakland appeared the following note: Down in the Citrus belt where Fred Roberta has been going to—the legislature these twelve years as the state's only Negro representative, a new Rifhmond has entered the field in the person of Editor Bass to contest Mr. Roberta seat from the Yankees district and according to reports up from the south a real fight is on. John Fowler, who gained notoriety several years ago by officiating at the objections of the Progressive party, is leading the fight for the Assemblyman, while Bass has lined up some of the district, and he is no novice at the game. We shall watch the battle between the two newspaper men with interest. Mr. Bass who is the editor of the California Eagle also figures as a defendant in an action for compensation for slander by reason of an article published in his paper, in which the plaintiff demands judgment for sixty-five thousand dollars. Concerning the reported cracking of the Solid South, a writer in the St. Luke Herald of Richmond ventured the following opinion: The erstwhile "Solid South" is cracking under one of the greatest political strains this country has known. There is such conglomeration of "race, rum and Romanism" as Editor Young has so aptly pointed out, that the average voter in the out, is utterly confused and out of this confusion will come a less "Solid South" because it is not the Asheville Conference led by Bishop Cannon is destined to be as significant for the liberation of the South as the First Continental Congress was instrumental in ending British–tyranny among the Colonials. Too long has the South been "solid" in the sentiment to "keep the Negro down," and although it is still "solid" on the Negro question, it is cousing how much growth has been to corespiring challenge the South's attention and this is going to be good for the South and the Negroes. Anything that keeps the South from concentrating its attention on its Negroes is good for both. It is the same old problem of getting the white South to divide its sentiment of hatred, so that the Negro will not be its sole object. Taking up the cudgels for the "Men of Today," the Colorado Statesman of Denver said: One of the commonplace diversions of life is to constantly make comparison between prevailing conditions of today and those existing in the far, by-gone days. We have with us everywhere, those doleful ones who can see no good nor virtue in anything except what abounded in yesteryears. Such comparisons sometimes amount to a complaint, surrounded by mankind. Fringe of emotion. Things are never, were in the "good old days," according to these latter-day apostles of gloom. We do not have as much fun at a dance or social gathering, society of today in no sense compares with that of our fathers and moth- reservatives against their bureaucratic policy of spending Rs. 12,000; on gratuitous relief for $0,000; famine stricken people. This remarkably philanthropic once works at about Rs. 31, that UNREST in Benghazi was declared. The Art Of Living Just two hundred years ago the reading public in London was thrilled by the announcement of a forthcoming book by the author of "Instudiae Politicis," with the English subtitle, "A Treatise on the Art of Political Lying." Writing in the journal *The Times* in the bar of the House of Lords, regrets that "so important a work should never have come to light!" Perhaps the concluding darkness rather than light The recent example is that of Earl Winterton, who announced in the house of the late John H. McCormick that persons detailed under the barbarian fengal ordinance. The writer after that announcement, he said, would get the deport from friends, who said two are detained in raidmats in Ravamats, and three in satabats, mats. This totals up nine, and there are still several in Bengal, Madagascar and so on. The out act the titied-first is concealed in a velvet glove, and the merely unnoted buttress and civilization. Revolt Of Peasantz. The situation at Bardoli, a small district in Bombay贸易, is unique in the Indian, and must sooner be later resumed in the "bloodhit" or abdication by the government. It the leaders of the No-Tax Campaign has succeeded in producing a document that the Government in the district that has a finger can be mirabil, not a person with knowledge and their consent. Even then the Government themselves of the practically all the people will resist and are dependent for support.

These and many complaints, relative to everyday affairs in home and civic life may be heard on every side. And when it comes to manual labor, the compass may only made are far more disparaging. Somehow a considerable number in inbath communities seem to be under the belief that mankind is not so good as it once was, and in no sense so fond of labor. The charge, though manifestly unfair, often time in the world's history has "sufficient" been so completely the passport to development nor has man in any crisis so readily met the demand. If one refers solely to manual labor as wrought by sheer brawn and muscle, then of course there is no use in beheading the present scientific achievement has brought about a revolution through mechanical development, that not only has served to reduce the hours of labor, but has made such working hours more tolerable. The Denver editor endorsed the suggestion that what the world needs today is a great big "Dont-get-excited club" whose object shall be to keep people from approaching, the boiling point offer every triviality. Perhaps! Noting the fact that the State Insurance Department has issued a license to a Washington company to operate in Iowa, the Loto Bystander of Des. Moines in its Observer column said: The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is the largest Negro company in the world. It has over $700,000,000. The company will be thirty years old in September, having been organized in Washington, D. C. in September, 1898. The state headquarters will be in Des Moines. This is the first Negro Life Insurance Company to come into Iowa and its coming will perhaps mean in time employment for hundreds of Negroes in this state, and a new day for financially. Negro life is in the business, and the coming of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company will do much to stabilize Negro business in Iowa. The extension of the writing of life insurance by Negro companies into the North and West, as well as the South, is a gratifying sign of the sound foundation upon which this business is based. The Baltimore Herald-Commonwealth in its news columns printed a story of the remarkable record made by a state convict recently paroled. It said in part: Paroles were granted 17 prisoners in Maryland penal institutions for Governor Albert C. Ritchie on Tuesday. Among those to benefit among the convicted criminals are seven colored prisoners. Unique among the latter is George W. Davis who was sentenced fourteen years ago for a hold-up and the shooting of a policeman. Davis, an inmate of the penitentiary, has completed a correspondence course in law, saved nearly $2,000 and patented a gasoline motor invention. When Davis went to prison he had an eighth grade education. On his release Davis proposes to take the Federal bar. He has read and studied-extensively, and has an exceptional record, for conduct he has been imprisoned. Davis has been foreman in the pants shop which turns out 1,200 pairs of pants daily, and supervised the accounts and clerical work of the department. There must be something of an exceptional character about this penitentiary or this prisoner, or be both of them, to bring about such results. Penologists should take note of this case. 一 In her lively column, "As In a Looking Glass," in the Washington Enge, Mrs. Alice, Dunbar-Nelson gave the following reflections upon the meeting of the National Federation of Colored Women, held in that city. The middle-aged flappers of the convention have had a hard time this week. Short skirts, pretty huffy frocks, chiffon in spike heeled sandals, lipsticks, shiny hobs and permanent waves have transformed them into pretty excellent, imitations of their daughters and nieces. But alas, good memoirs are frequent, omnipresent and repressible. "Do you remember when?" is on too many pages. Dates such as in 1920 and 1922 are too freeware to re-read, "First that and that the other" and referred to loudly from silhouet and seat. And most everyone can add to total years and dates. And it takes a stretch of imagination to attribute to count the disciples of Edna Wallace Hopper in the concerts "Now if someone would just tell some of these women the difference between a report and an essay, plausible of course, one of the names of the motion." "And teach them that the name of the Association is 'National Association of Colored Women' and not of 'Colored Women's Clubs' complains another in the back of the platform. "And tell ALL college audiences who try to sing the National Negro Song world in the second stanza is pronounced 'chaetening' with a long 'h', and not 'chaetening' with a short 'a'— All of which points may have well taken and apposite, but which no mere male writer would have the courage to print Saturday, August 18, 1928 THE NEW YORK AGE PAGE 219 CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK St. Paul Bapt. Church St. Paul Church is not now at its old stand in West 35th street, but in its new home, 249-51 West 132nd street. It was in its new place of worship that the church met as such for the first time, on Sipgay morning past. The interior was built in three stages, but the building is in such condition that offices can be sold. No publication of the fact that the church world worship in its new place of worship was given, other than the general announcement to those who happened to services on the preceding Sunday, when brief services were held in the Negro Educational Center, out of which people are out in such large numbers that there was hardly room to eat them in the pews that had not right from the old church. As that the second service was held from six to seven o'clock in the evening, caused the pastor and officers to anticipate that there would be a very slim attendance at all these services, and they were to find that people poured into the early evening service. The cause of the afternoon service, was that the electric light fixtures 'were not read'. These have to be made specially for the building, and will in all probability, be installed at the beginning of the visitation, the incompleteness of the building the people were delighted with their new place of worship. The pastor, Rev. H. Arthur Broker, who has worked night and day to see that the church was housed, preached at the morning and evening services, a morning service to God's Help, and in the evening, "The Compassate Christ." The choir could not render its service because the organ has not been installed as yet, and the piano could not well be brought upstairs into the main auditorium. However, steps are being taken to secure another organ to be maintained in the main auditorium, and when this is done, the choir will use this until the organ is installed, the choir loft is finished and things are ready for use up there. Deacon W. H. Turner, the senior deacon in point of service in the church, was taken to last Monday, although he has improved greatly since the middle of the week. Mrs. Emma Lockery, another of our members, is very ill. Salem M. E. Church Dr. E. H. Coit, secretary-treasurer of the Board of Missions of the A.M. E. Church preached to a large congregation that nearly filled the entire auditorium of Salem Church last Sunday morning, and delivered an address at the Lyceum in the afternoon. The happiness that comes to one exclusively through communion with Jesus is the subject of Dr. Coit, whom he preached, text, Aetis 7:56; "And he speaks before the Lyceum, the alchurch minister discussed "Perishable Things vs Unperishable Things." Dr Coit showed how men in the universal desire to gain immortality risk so much on the fleeting value of life. Music for the Lyceum program included a soprano solo rendered by Mrs. Amy Redfield, and several choral selections by the choir. Joseph Hill, minister in charge, preached the evening sermon. Stained glass effigies of those God does not forsake a man because he comes up short. Mrs Elizabeth Lancaster, president of the Ladies Auxiliary to the trustees, a first trustee to the trustees, a first trustee to the money the ladies of the Auxiliary promised to raise for redecorating the lecture room of the church. Professor Johanna Teisman, organist of Day Star Baptist Church, played an organ interlude at the service. His selection was offered by the Help. The Lacum has arranged for a moving picture entertainment Thursday evening at the church. Mrs. Hines, a gospel singer will render public selections. On the same event, Saint Fund Club is planning to take a housemate home of one of its members. Mrs. Lomys, 187 West 11th street. Paradise Baptist Church The services last Sunday were conducted by Rev. Anderson. His text was taken from St. Mark's last chapter with verse. "In the morning rise up a great while before day, the sun and dearest and deepest into a pulsar a age, and there prayed." Subset: Power of Prayer. He said that prayer is the key to Heaven, prayer will make a sinner a sinless prayer will make rough a smooth prayer will make a heavy easy prayer will make a complex easy prayer will make a complex about the power of electricity, the power of radium and the power of electrons, but prayer is the most comforting power in the world. He was one of the service. Rev. W. Anderson inspired our hearts with talk text for the event. It was taken from Acts 11 chapter verse. "But ye shall remember after the Holy Ghost and shall be witness unto us in India and Samaria and in the uttermost parts of the earth." I should be a witness for Jesus may he be filled with the Holy Water we are filled with the Holy Water then we love God so that our neighbor is ourselves Who will not lie to him, cheat him to the hum, or double cross in any way. Edum make your light shine, make your fine clothing will not make your light shine, but only the Holy Water will make your light meet. 9.45 a.m. Sunday afternoon 1.1 a. m. and 8 p. m.; preaching; 6:30 p. m. B. Y. P. U. Emanuel A. M. E. Church Last Sunday, August 12, Presiding Elder A. L. Wilson made his first official visit for this conference year. At the "service service he preached, using for his subject, "A Compassionate Savior." Dr. Wilson delivered a forceful message which was enriched by a splendid congregation. At 3:30 the Sunday school held a fine session. The classes were filled and great enthusiasm was exhibited. The pastor preacher at 8 vclock to an unusual crowd. During the hot season it is our aim to hold service but one hour at night. Sunday, August 19, will be observed as Negro Assistant Dean in the morning the pastor will present a special sermon on Negro-Achievements, and at night the choir under direction of Herbert Allen, will render a special musical program composed of music by Negro composers. Grace Church of Harlem A goodly sized congregation came out to service at Grace Church last Sunday morning, Rev. Mr. Holder read the lesson and Dr. A. C. Garner made the opening prayer. Most of the choir is on a vacation so a two composed of three of the members, Mrs Hammond Mrs. Prellow and Miss Stephanie Davis sang two selections. There was a tenor selection by Lowell Peters, a former member of the choir. Dr. Garner presented the Rev. T. Peters of British Guiana Rev. Mr. Peters took his sermon from the church and his theme was "Youthful Progress" and the lesson he sent home with the congregation was that while we have made progress, it was best fitted for the days in which we made it, but was not adequate for the needs of the congregation in this progressive generation; and that we must live our lives to live in harmony with them. After the college, Dr. Garner introduced the Rev. Dr. Wm. Y. Bell of the Interdenominational Preachers Board, Dr Bell made an eloquent appeal for money to Edition Wallace and Cole of Louisville, Ky. A goodly sum was realised In the absence of Herbert King who conducts the vesper service, Dr. Garner presided; prayer and song service by Dr Garner. There was also a musical program Miss Olyve Hunter was in charge of the music. An excellent program was arranged. Next Sunday, evening, Senorita Fanta will appear in native songs and from Mexico and is taking a course at Columbia. The hour 7-8 p. m.

The Church School has closed until the first Sunday in September. Prayer service every W.nesday night at 8:40. Monday for a vacation of two weeks. Dr. Garner will be much missed, by the members of his church, but he has earned a vacation. His place will be filled by W. Herbert King, who will be under the deacons Mr. Garner, throughout the summer. The Daily Vacation Bible school closed on Friday evening. In spite of the rainy weather, there were quite a number of people present. There were games, recitations, songs, etc, and an exhibition of the work done during the school term.

WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH --- Mother Zion Church Notwithstanding that: a' large number of the members of Methert Zion Church are taking their vacation, the church was well filled at the morning service last Sunday, when the subject: "Walking With God and Its Great Reward" - Genesis 5:24. The speaker said in part: A few words may describe the salient features of the majority of human lives. It is not necessary to write a book to tell whether a man or woman has lived a useful or a one word may be enough. The word is said about Enoch, and yet that little has given him a distinction unlike that of any other living man. "The brightest star of the Patriciach Ala'g" says Mathew Henry. The tale gives us the biography of many of the ordinary characters, like most us. Others were extraordinary like David, Solomon, Isaih, Paul, etc. There were still others whose lives were more interesting, around whom gathered the clouds of mystery and supernaturalism, such as Enoch, Zeddie, Elijah, Moses and Enoch. At the end of his discourse, six persons united, with the church. A goodly number of visitors were present from all parts of the country. Mrs. Rufus E. Clement of Livingstone College, Salisbury, N.

The Missionary Society, Mrs. E. P. Oliver, president, of this church worshipped in a body at the evening services. Appropriate music was furnished by the Junior Chor, with Miss Louise, Moseby as solist. Addresses were made by Mrs. Jones, general supply captain, of the New York superintendent of the "Buds," of the L.I. District, and Rufus T. Clement, dean of Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C. Associated with the parent body were the Buds of Promise, Mrs. Laura Dalley, supervisor, and the Secretary, Mrs. Lillian Galloway, Stakeman faculty, and Aceemonies, and gave a short sketch and general outline of the work of the local society. The sermon was preached by Dr. G. M. Oliver, whose text was found in St. Mark 16-15. Dr. Oliver presented a beautiful mental picture to set as an incentive to the missionary portraying the work the workmen did. At the 11 o'clock service next Sunday morning, Rev Rufus E. Clement, dean of Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C., will preach St. Martin's Chapel "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow, and thy conception: in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to the husband, and thy rule will over Thee," Genesis 3:16. This was the text of Rev. Grize sermon Sunday at 11 a.m. and be showed that this passage proved three things that are self evident; the reality of evil, conflict of good and evil, and that good will be encouraged in the world. Notwithstanding the different schools of philosophy it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that there is evil in the world. He also brought out the fact that only the finer and nobler qualities of man make him remembered, this was the result of history and everyday experiences. At 4.30 a memorial service was held for Blanche Hunter Redding, the deceased mother of our organist, Arthur F. Redding. Special music by the choir, assisted by an orchestra under the direction of Redding, was an enjoyable feature and reception. The solo by Clinton Henry, and the quartet by Misses M. Adams and M Walker and C. Henry and C. Bourine, well rendered. The two addresses by Rev. J. W. Johnson and Rev. J. H. Johnson gave 'intimate pictures' of Mrs. Redding by those who knew her best. The pledges for the building fund continue to come in and the spirit shown by the donors is remarkable. St. Mark's M. E.

Concord Baptist Church It is the privilege of Concord Church to hear frequently germons from the foremost thinkers of the race. Sunday morning Prof. Benjamin Brawley, head of the Department, presented from I John 3:24, "And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us," a message well within the judgment of the audience. He said, Jesus Jef His disciples with promise of a certain Spirit that would bind Him. This essential and primary presence in the life of a Christian exhibits itself in instant obedience; getting straight, with God; a conception of human suffering and the desire to relieve it; special power to urge us to do things for others. Illustrations from English business life, the Negro and the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia, with Richard Allen as the hero, and the wife who discovered SS in a castion purse, were agrolytic used, the man named, to search out and use, the spirit promised and given to each disciple by Jesus Christ. Again, in the evening the congregation was, and will be next Sunday, favored with the preaching. Rey James R Adams has promised to his church the best speakers and artists he can secure and has kept this promise. Miss Josephine Muse, who has studied abroad, sang beautifully the music of my Father, "Allelata," and "I Will Estol Thee, O Lord." Each tone and word had its appeal. The accompaniments were handled correctly by Professor Lyndon H Caldwell, organist of Concord Church. The pastor is taking his family during a portion of the vacation period to a quiet place for rest and recreation. With them go the best wishes of the church and congue. Nazarcne Cong.

A College Preparatory Department, Training School for Nurses, and School for Religious and Social workers are connected with the College. Thorough training, healthy environment, Christian influences. THE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker T. Washington) began and the present great, simple and communal plant of the nation, is to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The educations and training that he gave to young men, men and women for lives useful to themselves and their families is a most commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to but only purpose to radiate from a center like Tuskegee the light of the home by giving him an excellent literary and normal course, and a course in Mechanical Industries, Women's Industries or Agriculture FOUNDED by BOOKER T.

Parents are held responsible if they do not warn their boys of the danger to life. WARN YOUR BOYS Clarence Cameron White, violinist and head of the Department of Music at The West Virginia College Collegiate Institute, and John F. Matheus, author and Romance Language chairman at the Institute, who saluted from New York Tuesday, August 7, for a six weeks' sojourn in Hayton, on the S. S. Ancon, Panama Line, plan a collaborated work aimed to depict carefully and truly the life and musical spirit of the Haitian peasant. The peculiar feeling and movement of this island man of the soil will be extracted and reflected through the native language. Poverty-stricken but proud, his head bowed in ignorance but raised high in economic independence, the peasant land owner of Haiti, comprising eighty per cent of her two millions, offers a unique, charming and uncharted study. This move by Professors White and Matheus is 'but another link in the West Virginia Institutes far-reaching chain of cultural improvement. The plan of these men contains nothing of propaganda or political agitation.' Their aim is purely artistic. Both are singularly fitted for the endeavor. Mr. White is perhaps the most outstanding student of Spiritual music among Negroes in America. This fact is attested by his recent "Book of Negro Spirituals." Mr Matheus has numerous literary achievements to his credit. He has also been named "for highest distinction" in Edward J. O'Brien's 1925 Yearbook of the American Short Story for his tale of West Virginia—Ohio border life called "Fog." Mr White's son, William Warrick, who has been studying in New York, is accompanying them MUSIC NOTES Tuskegee Institute.

Harpist Gives Private Audition Before Touring Harpist Gives Private Audition Before Touring By Wellington Adams By Wellington Adams Washington, D.C., Mace Mae Richardson, harp artist, who plans to continue her harp studies in Austria next year, gave a private audition before a select group of citizens last evening preparatory to a tour of the States during next season. "Arabesque" (Holy) her opening performance, running through a maze of beautiful songs, singularly bewitching, "Priere" (Verdala), concert prayer, begins like a stately court coronation hymn of olden days, subduing to a quiet dreamy character of marked realities of solitude. Schneucker is an adagio memention of pious theme with gradations of piano and forte, swinging from quadruple into a compound rhythmic meter, with a dazzling arapgin bass accompaniment to a melting melody. Alfred Holly's work written mostly for register was a clear cut melody number. Two popular folk melodies, "Steal Away" and "Deep River," arranged for the harp by Princess Mae, closed the prepartition with credit to the race's leading harp artist, written a spell of sublime paths over the soul almost consuming in their beauty. Princess Mae is a true .artist in her interpretation, manifesting meanwhile a scholarly musicianism that is at once attractive and graceful. One must hear her to realize her place in the musical world. ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM. Local 802 has mailed every member of its vast organization a double postal card requesting a "Yes" or No" answer to the question embodied in an annexed stamped postal. For the benefit of transfer members and out-of-town members, the question is here presented "As the authorities of Local No. 802, A. F. of M., have been asked to consider a proposition referring to the rental of purchase of the building at 210-216 East 86th street, New York City, owned by the Musical Education Project to indicate by answering yes or no on the attached card over your signature whether or not you are in favor of the proposition, provided fair and equitable arrangements can be made by the M. M. P. U., concerning the mattelf. Kindly return not later than August 25." Among musicians of the local the question is being freely dis- cussed, and the peculiar ramifications of the history of the M. M. P. U. (erstwhile Local 310), and M. P. U. (erstwhile Local 310), purchaser of the premises at 210 East 80th street, is causing comment. Many years ago, the M. M. P. U. was affiliated with the American Federation of Musicians and was appointed to the board of New York. Friction started with the Federation, which refused to seat M. M. P. U. delegates at a convention, and revoked the 310 and 313 charter, Local 802, to a group of musicians who were also members of the defunct Local 310, but who, as indications pointed, would be amenable and regulated by the Federation. - Smirting over the loss of their U.S. military units, U.S. appealed to the Courts for re instatement and reckognition by the Federation. High priciled. Legal talent was engaged by both sides at staggering cost. Appeal after appeal, until the Court-of last report was reached, which gave the decision in favor of the Federation, as every previous Court had done. This final decision incidentally established the right of local 802 to represent the M. M, which included inter-relations with every other local in the United, States and Canada, and the sending of delegates to the convention. All rights roughly mentioned in this paragraph are proclaimed to the M. P. U, which maintains in organization as an independent body. Local 802 entrenched themselves in offices easily accessible to the Broadway theatrical belt, and the M. M. P. U, remained on their premises on East 86th street, opened in 1910, being debared, as stated above, from their title, "Local 310". Practically all members of the M. M. P. U. joined Local 802 for business reasons, and thus enjoy the questioned protection of Federal Aviation Administration of Musicians. Many members of the defunct Local 310 paid their dues, it is alleged, until the final disposition of the case, and then allowed their membership to terminate. Previous to this a loss of membership was alleged when M. M. P. U. requested a $10 assessment. It has been said that the relationship of M. M. P. U. and Local 802 has not been over友riendly. And how comes the "proposition"? There is no inkling that musician-socialist comes from, whether the "proposition" comes from, whether M. M. P. U. broached the "proposition," or the reverse. Local 802 is housed in convenient and comfortable quarters. The rental might be high, but only in keeping with the neighborhood they enlist. Is there no other place suitable for purchase or hire? Will M. M. P. U. vacate the premises if 802 purchases a unit ends? Home operated by the M. M. P. U. be also purchased or rented? As a business "proposition," is it more conducive to the welfare of the community? Has the Federation any part in the sanctioning of the contract? Will a majority "Yes" vote decide the issue of the question asked as to the "Purchase or rental of 210 East 802." These and many more questions are being discussed among musicians. Some are thinking that a matter of such importance could be a meeting been summoned and the matter discussed openly by the officers and members of Local.802.

WHOLE MEAL SALADS FOR SUMMER The whole-meal salad is popular at any season of the year, but more especially in the hot weather months. Heavy foods clatter on bodies, so instead of eating them at noon, try the whole-meal salad. It may be a collection of fruits on lettuce leaves, or a combination of fruits and vegetables. Occasionally a little cold meat or fish make the salad. There are hundreds of recipes for whole-meal salads, but almost any collection of salad ingredients may be made up and served. A bed of lettuce leaves, segments of lettuce, or a little whipped cream, a touch of sweetened lemon juice; and a strawberry as a topper—this is one that may be used as a starter. It is light, easy to digest and filler with the vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed to balance the summer diet.

TODAY Years ago there was a Boston Pullman conductor, by the name of Rice, who was fond of relating a story concerning a friend of his. The friend was an Irish saloon keeper, and for some reason had an inordinate dialike for Negroes. One day while in an argument over the merits of the Negro, old man Rice, who, although he was big, fat and lazy, was a typical Yankee, told that berman that it had been his experience that the usual difference, to be noted between the average black man and the average white man when they met was that the black man would act white where the white man would most often act black. "Begorrah," retorted the Irishman, "you are a traitor to the white race. I don't believe it and I'll not ride in one of thum Pullman cars as long as they have thum black men around." Several months later while taking up tickets in a Chicago-bound sleeping car, the conductor observed his old friend, the saloon keeper among the passengers. He was on his way West to visit a sick felative. Knowing his friend's antipathy towards Negroes, the conductor, after collecting his tickets, called the porter of the car aside and said: "Say, John, how are you and the man in section 9 getting along?" John, entirely innocent as to the reason for the inquiry, replied: "Very well, Mr. Rice, but he wouldn't let me take his bags into the car when he got in at Boston, although they seem to be usually-heavy and every time I go by his section he glares at me as though I had stolen something from him. I think he is one of those cranks that we run across occasionally. Why, what's the matter?" "Oh, nothing," returned the conductor with a smile as he walked away. A few hours later, John was busy making down his berths. The train was speeding through the night, over switches, around curves and by dimly lighted stations. Suddenly a piercing whistle rent the air, followed by the lurching and swaying of the car, and then pandemonium. The Chicago sleeper laid on its right side in a gully, while clouds of hot vapor, from broken steam connections floated through its interior. John was momentarily stunned. His head was thrown against an upper berth's body which he was in the act of pulling down. But he soon recovered, and began groping his way towards the berths from which cries for help were coming. Number 9 was one of these. The occupant's former attitude was forgotten. He was John's first rescue out of the wreckage. When the doctors and nurses arrived, John had ten to his credit. Six months after, the Boston conductor strained into the Irishman's place, and the first words that greeted his ears were: "Begorrah, Rice, I guess you are right about Negroes. The beer is on me. How is that porter of yours?" Within the last month two incidents, in which black men have figured, have happened on the Illinois Central Railroad, which demonstrated most clearly the philosophy of the old New England conductor regarding the conduct of black men and white men towards one another. Several weeks ago, a black man was travelling West on this road. He wasn't riding the bumpers; he wasn't even a "jim crock" passenger. He was a Pullman passenger, and there was nothing in his conduct to stamp him as being other than a respectable citizen. The fact that he desired to travel comfortable, or at least consistent with the station he occupies in life, was his preoperative. The accommodation hought was procured in good faith and, if may be assumed, anyway, this accommodation was sold under the same circumstances. Now no railroad can afford to encourage discountess and ignorance among its employees. Then again, when a road sells a customer a given accommodation it is morally, as well as legally, bound to furnish him with same. The fact that this does not hold true in the South does not make it any the less an obligation. Fortunately, this black, traveler knew this, but the train conductor didn't. "Wha!", stormed the trainman, who should have been the last man on the train to be ignorant of the transportation act, a 'nigger' occupying a Pullman berth? Why, it's agin the law!" "But, not in interstate travel in this state," remonstrated the Pullman conductor. "Well, interstate or outstate, he is got to get out this cyah," allowed Mr. Train conductor, "I won't stand for no 'nigger' riding in a Pullman on my division." This representative of the railroad was outraged. So, he went to the black traveler who was sleeping peacefully in his Pullman berth. (It is said, this gentleman can always, sleep well whenever he reaches a bed) and awakening him, told him just what he would have to do. But the would be ouster didn't know his man. He didn't know that the traveler had been riding in Pullmans for some time, and was quite conversant with the laws of the various states regarding interstate passengers. So, he kept to his berth, despite the threats and promises of what would happen to him if he didn't vacate it. The following morning, the white man, who had been acting very black" during the night, learned something he never knew before. And it was a case in which he had been everything but white. In the early hours of the morning of August 6, Barry Prince, a Chicago porter, rested eighteen passengers from his car, which had been derailed in an Illinois Central Railroad train wreck, at Mounds, Ill., by smashing the windows of the Pullman with an ordinary car broom. A mental picture can be drawn of this black man working with feverish energy to deliver the imperiled passengers. The fact that they were of another color from his was of no moment to him. It was his duty to rescue them. He made no distinction as to condition, although he must have noted this before the accident. That was an obligation he owed each time, and it was an obligation he owed his employer. What a difference between his actions and that of that conductor. In all such instances as these, most black men run true to their inner characteristics, which are usually white. Old man Rice's soul is no doubt marching along with that of John Brown's ere now, but in his day he knew the heart of black folks.

Of course, the appellation of gentleman is roundly abused in this country, but here and there are found some who really merit the title. With ourself, our acquaintances of the type are somewhat limited.

Mrs. Anna Soloman, who was a delegate to the annual convention of the Tempire-Statel Federation of Women's Club, gave a splendid report. All candidates who have filled applications for the city service assistance for Probation officer, will please take notice the test will be held on two days, the 11th and 12th of September. This information ought to spur those who have already filed applications to increased efforts in the matter of study in preparation for the test. This will insure a very high place on the list for early appointment. It is estimated that a large number of appointments will be made immediately after the establishment of this list. An examination of far reaching importance that should appeal to a very large number of those men who are now out of employment, is the examination for classified laborer in the Postal Service of New York and other parts of the country, which has been announced by the U. S. Civil Service Commission. The pay for this position is $37,000 a week. A very good salary for the ordinary worker. Great numbers of their appointments are made each year in this service, and every man who can read and write should take this test. The last day for filing applications for the test is Aug. 24th. Applications may be submitted from the U. S. Custom House, New York City. Very little preparation is needed for this test. Get your applications now, and file them before August 24th. This examination is open to all citizens of the U. S. Those living outside New York should have someone get their applications for them or send a card for form 2374. The examinations for, Post Office Carrier. New York City and for Clark Brooklyn Post Office are still being held each month, on the third Saturday. Applications may be had now or any time at the U. S. Custom House, New York City. We may say that this is the quickest avenue to getting in the Civil Service at good pay. The pay is $2,100 a year, and the service is expanding each day. There is always quick advancement in this service. 443 men have been appointed to the Fire Department by Commissioner Dorman during this year. No. 450 is the last man qualified for appointment after character investigation. This is a good department of the City service, and more of our Harlem men should get into this branch of the City Service. The city list for Food Inspector Grade 3 which was established September 1927, with 31 names on the eligible list, is now completely exhausted, and another examination must be held soon to supply suitable eligibles for this branch of City work. There are a number of those missed the last examination, on account of not reading the news of it in this paper, but there are no excuse for those who wish to take this test next time. It will certainly be here in this column, and it is up to you to get and read this news each week. We will publish the news of all Civil Service examinations, specially edited for you each week. To acquaint you with the kind of examinations you may take with little or no difficulty. If you case you do not see anything in this city that you want, please write to us and we shall be very glad to supply you with any information on any examination asked for. There were more than 200 names certified for appointments in all City Departments last week. Of these the largest number were of a clerical nature.

DOMESTIC COMMERCIAL The Insurance Department of New York has just granted permission to the National Negro Fraternal Association to solicit members desiring life insurance protection up to $1,000. There are some strong organizations of this kind among the other races but this is the first among Negroes in the State. While this, type of organization has a fraternal membership, it is not to be confused with the more familiar benevolent societies, such as the Elks, Masons, Odd Fellows, etc. The National Negro Fraternal Association issues life protection for $100, $500 and $1,000 on the whole life, 20 payment and 20 year endowment plans. The Association operates on the American Experience Table of Mortality at 3% per cent just like all old time legal reserve life insurance companies, and, like them, is under the direct supervision of the Insurance Department of the State. Organized By Curley. The active management of the association is in the hands of C. Benj. Curley, a trained business man with years of experience in the insurance field, who, incidentally, is the organizer of the association. Mr. Curley was formerly comptroller of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, and business counsel to the Century Life Insurance Company of Little Rock, Ark. The effort is essentially a people's organization, and is in line with Mr. Curley's campaign for operation on the cooperative plan, further the acquaintance of insurance reserves for investment in New York, since this is a New York institution, makes Mr. Curley's effort a valuable contribution to the business awakening in Harlem. This effort has been made possible, says Mr. Curley, only through the cooperation of V. Kenneth Duncan of Duncan Brothers Funeral Home, T. B. Dyett, Assistant District Attorney, Dr. A. H. Armstrong, medical director, Dr. James L. Wilson, and Dr. Andrew Maxwell of Paterson, N. J. The association is fortunate, have received assistance and advice of one of the leading insurance authorities of the country, S. B. Ackerman an actuary, lawyer, and author. The office of the association is 203 West 138th street, New York City. O₁₀ and after August 15th, New Yorkers will be able to pick up their telephone and, receive the correct time according to an announcement made by the New York' elephone Company. "Time of day" calls will be answered from a newly established centralized Time. Bureau and may be made at any time, from any telephone in New York City by calling "Meridian 1212." Some time ago time of day calls were answered without charge. It became necessary to discontinue this practice, however, because the tremendous volume of free calls interrupted seriously with the regular work of the switchboard operators, while the costs entailed a material burden upon the whole body of telephone subscribers. It is apparent, however, that there are many people who would find it more convenient to get the time from the Telephone Company than in any other manner. The company has, therefore, arranged to supply this needed convenience. Provided as an accommodation and not to produce revenue, only a nominal charge will be made for this service as follows: One local call will be charged message rate subscribers. Five cents will be charged that rate subscribers. Any call from points outside the city will be charged at the regular toll rates. Ashland Place Y. W. C. A. Miss Alberta G.
