But although the friends and adherents of Mr. Holstein were present in large numbers both inside and outside of the court room, there was no visible demonstration against Brown. Following the disclosures of the 6th Division escorted both Brown and Schubert from the court room and took them in police cars, to their respective homes. This gave rise to persistent rumors among the onlookers that Brown had been rearrested, and in all sections of the community.

It was Bernstein who was said to have gotten in-touch with Charles King, Holstein's confidential man, and made demands for payment of the sum demanded as evidence. What other evidence was in hand was said have been against Bernstein, and he it was who gave the officers the names of Brown and Schubert as accomplices "When the case was called, Monday morning, Attorney Leonard A. Snitkin, appearing for the accused men, demanded their discharge on the ground of no evidence, emphasizing the fact that Holstein had failed to identify any of the men as his captors.

"County officials may object to such a show of State authority," the Advocate says, "but the law is good. Something must be done in the name of the whole country when communities are found where juries refuse to convict lynchers, where grand juries will not bring indictments, where protests" through the pulpit and the press are the only deterents, morally ineffective. No Defense For Lynching "There is no defense of lynching and no excuse for communities where lynchers are allowed to go unsuoght and are immune from testimony and from conviction when testimony proves their guilty." The editor expresses the opinion that "if all the people in a community were as much opposed to mobs are the better class, there would be less lynching." There are lawless men who release their lyniry upon a victim there must be restraint upon them fixed by the strong arm of the government. NANNIE BURROUGHS URGES SUPPORT OF HOOVER & CURTIS Warns Negro Not To Vote For Man Who Would Alter Constitution NANNIE BURROUGHS URGES SUPPORT OF HOOVER & CURTIS Warns Negro Not To Vote For Man Who Would Alter Constitution Washington, D. C.—In a printed statement, Miss Narnie Burroughs, founder and principal of the National Training School, located here, and one of the most prominent colored women in America, urged colored voters, throughout the country, to support the Hoover-Curtis ticket in the national election on November 6. She warned them "not to vote any man in power who proposes to tamper with the Constitution of the United States," referring to Gov. Smith. "The test in this campaign is a test of the strength of the Amendments to the Constitution. If the Eighteenth Amendment is not strong enough to stand—if we vote men into office who sanction its modification or annulment—we might as well sign the death certificates of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments," said Miss Burroughs. "Do not vote any man into power who proposes to tamper with the Constitution of the United States and do not forget that the party which Governor Smith represents did not help to write your rights into the Constitution and it should not therefore be given an opportunity to be given them. No chain is stronger than its weakest link. If you vote to weaken the eighteenth link, you weaken or jeopardize all of the links." Registration Days—October 8-9 10-11-12 and 13.

Chairman Hawkins Declares In Talk Over Radio That Negro Should Have No Hesitancy In Voting For Hoover Asserts Policy of Democratic Party Has Ever Been Nullification of Negro's Right To The Franchise In Southern States Dr. John R. Hawkins of Washington, secretary of finance of the A. M. E. Church, and chairman of the Colored Voters Division under the Republican National Committee in the Hoover-Curtis campaign, spoke over the radio from Station WABC on September 28 on the Presidential campaign. Dr. Hawkins ranks, high as a financier. He is in full charge of the funds raised by his church for educational, missionary and charitable purposes, as well as of payments from the general expense funds. Seventy per cent of the church funds is through Dr. Hawkins' hands during each year. A half million dollars is paid out in pensions to retired ministers, and widows and orphans of deceased ministers. The youngest bank in the District of Columbia, the Prudential Bank of Washington, was founded by Dr. Hawkins, who is its president. In his radio address, Dr. Hawkins said, speaking of the relative claim of the Republican and Democratic candidates. Distranchised By South. "In the southern states, where nineteenth of the Negroes live they are practically disfranchise because Discrimination rule. They have been driven from the polls and to persecuted as to make it even dangerous for Negroes to attempt to exercise this right. Consequently, we have no voice in the halls of the legislatures of the southern states. "Every law of discrimination jimcowism and segregation, with reference to the community, life among Negroes is due largely to the discrimination of Negroes in the principles which militate against us simply on account of our racial connection. This is more far-reaching than many imagine." No Reason For Heatancy "But the question does not hinges so much on the individuality of these two men, but on what is represented in the principles and doctrines of parties which they represent. I see the world in their favor for hesitance on part of the Negro host support to the Republican party and to lend his aid for the election of Mr. Hoover as our next President. The right and privilege of citizenship is the highest privilege that can be given to any people. We certainly own this party. We represent party. What we have enjoyed under the Republican regime certainly outweighs that which has come to us under the Democratic party. No one will deny that in national affairs, the Democratic party is affairing with the South and the policy of the Democrats of the South has always been against the best interest of the Negro.

"In the southern states, where nineteenth of the Negroes live, they are practically disfranchised because of Democratic rule. They have been driven from the polls and so persecuted as to make it even dangerous for Negroes to attack them; we have twice woken in the halls of the legislatures of the southern states. "Every law of discrimination, jim Crowism and segregation, with reference to the community... life among Negroes is due largely to the advocacy by Democrats of certain principles which militate against us simply on account of our racial connection. This is more far-reaching than many imagine, but should not be forgotten that Roe v. Wade represents the United States because of the untimely death of "President McKinley. It should not be overlooked that President Colidge came to the White House by reason of being Vice-President when Harding died. And it cannot be overlooked that should Mr. Smith be elected President and perchance anything should happen to him. Mr. Robinson would be the only white man whose bitterness and hatred of the Negro of the South is so pronounced that a fair, and square deal could not be expected from him."

J.—Work on the new $185,000 girls' dormitory at the Bordentown Manual Training School is progressing rapidly, and there is every indication that the agreement — to have the building ready for occupancy next year. Plans for the building, which will house 100 girls, were drawn up by Gilbert & Bertelle, the same architect who designed the other beauty school on the Bordentown campus during the past seven or eight years. Ten years ago, at the request of Principal W. R. VaLventine and Col. D. Stewart Craven, chairman of the school committee, the New York City school district gifted its new policy for the Bordentown School, which included a reorganization of the academic instruction, the housing, and the trade teaching of the school. The school building, being erected will put both girls and boys under the most modern of living conditions, just as the reorganized curriculum has placed the school definitely in the van of national preparatory schools dedicated to vocational training of colored youth. Coincidental with the beginning of work on the new dormitory was the opening of the school's forty-second year, with two hundred boys and ten hundred capacity enrollment for the fifth successive year eliminated a large number of last minute applications.

C.—A 'playground project put on during the summer by the Charleston Interacial Committee proved an successful that it is hoped something permanent may come of it. The committee secured for the experiment the playground of Wesley Church, and for one month placed a repaired and its equipment the disposal of the colored children of the community. The grounds were opened each afternoon and the attendance ran from 50 to 120 per day. Two paid workers, Misses Sadie Rennette and Alice Michel, were employed to supervise the play, under the general direction of Miss Corine Jones, city supervisor of playgrounds. Rev. John C. Gibbes, pastor of Wesley Church, Mrs. Gibbes and others, gave volunteer assistance. The funds for the operation of the playground were supplied friends through the Interacial Eagles Mere Park, Pa.—That church women are eager to find constructive ways of bettering race relations was fully demonstrated at the second General Interracial Conference of Church Women held here September 18-19, 1928. Sixty women from fourteen states, representing thirty-one organizations, considered together such questions as race relations in our higher schools, and mental and moral attitudes involved in interracial contacts. E. Church, stated that it is because of failure to realize that the great function of the church is to practice vital religious living and to understand that the great social problems of peace, industry and race relations are the church's responsibility. Full Time Secretary Employed Mrs. Richard W. Westbrook, chairman of the Church-Women's Committee on Race Relations of the Federal; Council of Churches, said the close of the conference under a reference age under the auspices of the Federal Council of Churches, we hardly dared hope for a permanent organization. A continuation committee met to get out the findings of that conference and to make plans for carriage. We are here today. As we meet for our second general conference, we are happy to say that we have reached the point where we have a committee of forty-four women, representing twenty-eight denominations with a full time secretary. Miss Katherine Gardner, who began her work within on September first." Following the statement of Mrs. Westbrow there was an open forum and the delegates gave some interacial experience among church women from Mrs. Josephine Humbles Kyles of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Winston-Salem, N. C., Miss May B. Belcher of the Y. W. C. A., Indianapolis, Ind., Mrs. C. P. McGowan of the South Carroll College, Florence Randolph of New Jersey, Mrs. M. C. Slutes of the Women's Home Missionary Society of the M. E. Church, Mrs. Wm. MacFarlane of Rochester, showed results in better understanding and in concrete accomplishment following the formation of interacial committees Nekro's Culture Handicaps Others who participated in the discussion which followed 'were Miss Ann Elizabeth Taylor, Board of National Mission, Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A.; Mrs. Ada Rerr Wilson, United Presbyterian Church of North America; Miss Clara E. Norrutt, American Baptist onee Society and Mrs. S. W. Baylor, the National Baptist Convention. Under the leadership of Mrs. Cordella Winn of the National Board, Y. W. C. A., the conference frankly faced the handicaps of Negro achievement in cultural fields. Prejudice was first named and interpreted as a lack of understanding of the Negro's place as an American citizen or human being. The lack of opportunity to travel, to specialize, to sell his creations, to enjoy social and recreational facilities. Church women can help to remove these handicaps by talking about the Negro as he is today, by helping to mould public opinion without fear, and by using the laws which have been enacted. Mrs. Washington, the wife of Philadelphia, urged that white women try being a Negro for a day. She stressed the need for informal contacts between the races. Hopeful -Note Struck. A hopeful note was struck in the session on Race Relations and Religious Education, in which Dr. Benjamin S. Winchester of the Commission on Religious Education, and Dr. James W.

Norrunt, Dean Jansy Slowe, Howard University, and Mrs Mamie P. Thomas of the M. E. Church. At this session Mjss Alliene S.

Interacial Committee, Miss Caroline B Chapin of Englewood, N. J., and Mrs. A. B Horsey of the M. F. Church, gave examples of ways in which such committees may work to improve housing, health, public schools, and education. Church groups are not taking the lead in promoting a liberal and firm policy on interacial comity and justice, according to Miss Florence E. Quinlan of the Council of Women for Home Missions, Mrs. R. Harex of the Council of difference and norance, Mrs. H. R. Harex, a delegate from the M. E. Church, stated that it is because of failure to realize that the great function of the church is to practice the religious understanding that the great social problems of peace, industry and race relations are the church's responsibility. In outlining the future work of the committee it was decided by to hold meetings every two years. A strong spiritual note was struck by the devotional services.

Mary McLeod Bethune Tells Of Damage Wrought In Lower Florida By Recent West Indian Hurricane Storm Was Most Violent Ever Known In That Section, Raking Coast From Pomano To Stuart, With Heavy Property Loss Daytona Beach, Fla.—The people of Daytona Beach had reason for the greatest possible anxiety when the hurricane-storm which devastated the lower East Coast of that State, played havoc in that city. The students who had arrived on the campus of Bethune-Cookman College, together with faculty members who have also arrived watched, heartily, at alarm with prayerful hearts; the progress of the storm, fortunately, however, the amount of destruction resulted on the campus and in the city. Trees were uprooted, early vegetables and shrubbery destroyed, and the buildings placed in need of repairs—but lives were spared. The crises of our people in the districts actually, stricken by the consequences of the East Coast—came to Daytona Beach. and Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune stopped, in the midst of her work in preparation for the opening of the stadium, that Bethune gives a graphic description of the situation. Most Vjolent Storm "Words are inadequate to tell of conditions as they are," says Mrs Bethun. "The lower East Coast of Florida has prostrated. Delray, Pleasant Beach, Palm Beach, Belleglade, Pahokee—all have been seriously struck. Never before in my life have I witnessed such suffering, and so many homeless people. The Coast has been raked and scraped from Pompano to Stuart and taken to the hospital, an incident ever known in that section. "In its rage, it brought all persons down, to a common level of mutual help. Negroes and whites alike are sharing in the loss of home, friends, property, the homes and business places of the Negroes in West Palm Beach. Schoolhouses have been destroyed—every church save one, in the entire city is demolished. All of the public buildings are destroyed. The gates and shelter penetrate to one's very soul." "Our big job has been in the organizing of effective, leadership among the Negro group and the securing of executive nurses and social workers to labor hand in hand with the other group, in order to meet the needs of the workers and of suffering they might be met. The suffering among the people is piticous. Mother - separated from their children - women in child-birth being crudely wrapped in mattresses or blankets and carried from place to place for safety Buried In Trenches Few palm Beach proper, and the surrounding cities, but the poor people in the Everglades were drowned by the hundreds Great trucks were heaped high with dead bodies—men and women and children, being buried without being identified, many of them having no one left to identify them. Steam shovels to the earth, white semitermes to dig the trenchers in which this great mass of stricken humanity was laid to rest "Many poor souls swam through the rising waters, or walked twenty-five and thirty miles seeking shelter. One brave Negro named Lorenzo Negro lived of eighteen persons at Bellglade—most of them being white women. In the saving of these lives, he became so exhausted that when he took his wife and child and tried to make it with them, he became so exhausted that when he took strength and strength left and his child had to be rescued by another. "One mother tried to swim across the rushing waters—her baby in one arm and fighting the current with the other. An alliance took off one arm, and she was left to save herself and her child. But a rescuer came and they were saved. Negroes Are Hard Hit The need for assistance in these places is very great. There are more to help than can be reached. This catastrophe has brought out a blood that there is a brotherhood among men, even though it is sometimes man and woman who possibly can is working to help his fellowman. This is a hard blow for the Negroes of the East Coast. Two years ago we had the great storm of Miami—then the boom bubble with fearful results—seven banks in West Palm Beach were forced to close—and then this great storm. We need your prayers, your financial support, your assistance in every possible way. These homeless people not only need food and clothing but their little homes, representing years of toil and sacrifice, must be rebuilt. They had no insurance — they have no money. The people all over the State are rallying nobly to the situation. Physician nurses, social workers and interested anxious citizens are helping in every possible manner. Everglades Indiana Gave Warning An interesting feature of the dutting situation is the safety, through some preternatural warming of the Indians of the Everglades. Many days before the town they went through the Everglades —Follow Indian— Indian—going to dry land— bite the tree— the role of the late Indian disgraced the savior of the thought path again the prophecy—had their dine the would have been saved as were the Indians. They went into Palm Beach, and are all safe. Florida schools will be seriously handicapped this year because of the conditions. There will be no way for boys and girls to be in school. These important issues must be taken care of. We are collecting the aid of all American citizens. Please help in some way. Clothing for men, women and children may be sent directly to the Negro's First Aid Headquarters, Rosemary street, West Palm Beach, Fla., attention of Dr. J. Hertrell or Mrs. Frederick, or direct to the Negro's First Aid Headquarters, Delray, fla., attention of S. F. G. Moore, from these two points clothing will be distributed through the local chapter of the Red Cross to meet the needs of the people. Help must be given to the suffering on the lower East Coast of Florida."

Morton Association Organized The objects and purposes of this association are the following: To teach colored citizens the value and potency of the ballot and the necessity for its intelligent use. To create, promote and maintain interest in the use of the suffrage. To convince and persuade colored citizens, particularly those residing in Harlem, that the interest and welfare of our community imperatively require that those who are eligible to vote shall register and enroll in a political party. More particularly to convince and persuade them that, the Democratic Party being the dominant one in New York City, our interest and welfare require that the majority, of colored voters be enrolled in that party to the end that we may control the party machinery in those districts where the colored population preponderates. To stimulate interest and enthusiasm, particularly among clean, able young men, in civic affairs. To establish and maintain the principle and policy that colored people in this community should be represented in party organizations by members of their own group and of their own selection to the end that when interests and their hopes and aspirations shall be represented and expressed with sincerity, intelligence, dignity and effectiveness, and to the further end that in civic and political affairs the colored citizen shall enjoy equality of opportunity. Local Democrats Form Strong Organization Of, By and For Negroes Local Democrats Form Strong Organization Of, By and For Negroes On Friday evening, September 28, 1928, the new headquarters of the F. Q. Morton Association was opened at 222 West 145th street. The Club occupies the upper floor of the building at that address and is elaborately decorated and furnished. Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton, a member of the Municipal Civil Service Commission, addressed the group of nearly one hundred people in the courtyard. The keynote of the address by Mr. Morton was the necessity of colored people registering and enrolling in the Democratic Party in order that Negroes can control the dominant political party in Harlem. Out of approximately three hundred thousand colored people in Harlem, and in twelfth of them, vote and hardly one-third of that number are enrolled Democrats. Mr Morton said that Judge Olivany decided only recently that no longer should colored people be represented by a leader of their own selection, but instead by the white district leader. This decision was made despite Judge Olivany's previous decision to continue the policy of his predecessors, Mr. Croker and Mr. Murphy, and recognize the leader selected by our group. Negroes, however, should support the Democratic ticket despite this drastic decision, because the standard hearer of Democracy afforded F. S. Smith the candidate of fair play and tolerance. Mr. Morton said intolerance, religious and racial hatred are the opponents of Governor Smith and Negroes should allly themselves against them. This organization is not only apolitical, but civic, and its objects and purposes strike at the foundation of our society. The right to vote one thing, but the right to be involved in the decision-making by controlling political machinery in our community can we do this, and that only by enrollment in the Democratic Party. Dr. Godfrey Nurse made a motion to name the organization the F.O. Morton Association. He approved the motion and urged the support of Gov. Smith by money as well as votes. Dr. Matthew V. Boutte, temporary chairman of the committee on organization, on urging that our failure to support our Negro lead, not our failure to get anywhere politically. Dr. Louis T. Wright suggested the necessity for Negroes wholeheartedly supporting the organization, so that they might demand protection in their community. He said for the past five years the community has supported us, we have no means of correcting that evil. We must exercise our rights intelligently. Enroll as Democrats in large numbers and demand what you want. Mr. Sol Kiley stated that thoughexperienced in politics he saw the necessity for an organization such as the Black Community Care of the needs of the community. He said, "Without Negro leadership you can expect no measure of success. White men will not recognize the qualifications and fitness of individuals, but those seeking personal gain will be chosen to build a united organization and with that strength you can demand what you need. Attorney Charles E. Tones urged support of the organization financially and by individual efforts to obtain members. Seek to have Negroes enroll as Democrats and on Primary Day go to the polls and elect your leaders. William T. Andrews said that this organization was the awakening of the Negro to his potential power and strength. We have been in no better position than our Southern brother, he said, because we have not voted intelligent. W T R Richardson, an old Democrat, said Negroes have been serving two masters. Judge Oblum told him he recognized Mr. Morton as leader of Negroes, but jobs were not available. He urged cooperation of all Negroes with this new association and support to his representative. Dr. F. P. Roberts, in supporting the movement, expressed a doubt as to the sincerity of Judge Olysian in making his decision. He believed that a mistake was made and suggested a committee of representative citizens wait on him and urge the continuance of the former nol- ity of Tammany Hall. It is his belief that that request will be granted. Attorney John William Smith expresses his approbation of the objects and purposes of the organization. He said that Assemblyman Grossman, in speaking of his chancery, said that he would not work too hard among our group this year, because of the fear that too many would join the ranks of the Republicans, and help to defeat our tickets. The desire of district leaders in Harlem is not to encourage Negroes to vote, but rather to keep them away. He suggests that strict efforts be made to get out as many as possible to register so as to exercise the right to vote. Make our membership large and we can defeat them on Primm, Day, he said. Mr. Charles Washington thought judge Olivany's decision was the best one he could happen, because now we can reinforce our plight. His arbitrary ruling has forced us to act in self-defense. Murray George Hall stated that in his opinion we had two tasks, one, getting out a large enrollment, and obtaining an equally large membership. Mr John R McNeil spoke at length on the necessity of action along the line of the meeting. He stated that he was unequivocally in favor of Negro leadership. That the Negro could achieve his civic and political rights only in the Democratic party, and he urged all Negroes to register and vote as a member in interest and defense. One of the most interesting actors present and a most enthusiastic supporter of the movement was Chief Edward F. Lee, founder of and first leader of the United Colored Democracy. Among those present in addition to the above speakers were Dr. Paul A. Collins, H. G. Bragg, Dr. H. B. Delany, iii. Howard Braden, Dr. Wiley M. Wilson, Elmer Carter, Elmer Sawyer, Attie Ralph H. M. Baldry, Payne Burgess Holland, Dr. Farrar Allen, John C. Carew, K. S. Kaunden, Dr. Allen B. Grasses Mellville Fratier, Dr. Edward Lowry, Clifford Collwood, P. H. Poll, Roger Griffin, Dr. Valentine Thomas and Leon B. Crutchier. Several other persons present spoke in approval of the project and urged all Negroes who had their rights and the welfare of the colored people at heart to join this organization. The temporay officers elected were Ferdinand Q. Morton, Temporary chairman, Chaucey M. Hooper, temporay secretary. Committees appointed Committee on Organization, Dr. Matthew Routte temporary chairman, Committee on Finance, Dr. Albert S. Brewster temporary chairman; House Committee, Dr H. Wilson, temporay chairman. The next meeting will be Friday October 5 at 9 o'clock. p.m. Ev ronee is welcome. Missionary Women, Zion Church, Plan Year's Work Highland Falls, N.

A prominent feature of the Exposition of Women's Arts and Industries which is being held in the Hotel Astor this week, October 1 to 6, is the Church Women's booth, located on the southern side of the grand salon, including numbers 118 to 143, and making one of the largest booths in the exposition. In this exhibit are included eight church women's organizations. Included in this group is the Church Women's Committee of the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. This committee, while only two years old has developed a program of the utmost interest to members of both the white and colored races. It has "To Promote the Growing of: The Great Grown and Cooperation Through United Thought and Action." Visitors to the Exposition will be interested in the fact that the Church Women's Exhibit is one of the few which stands for the expression of an ideal rather than the commercial interests. On each side are descriptive panels of the co-creation and over all is the hammer "Church Women at Work. The panel on race relations is as follows: "The Church Women's Committee on Race Relations unites North, South, East, West. Promotes interracial friendship and playful." Those in charge of the Race Ropes section are prominent women in the church and W. C. A.

C.-That the Negroes of Rocky Mount are wideawake and progressive is evident from their recent adventure in the financial world. Recently a progressive group of citizens organized and loaned an American and Investment Company, capitalized at ten thousand dollars. On the night of organization more than one half of the capital stock was subscribed for, with ten per cent paid in, the amount which the corporation is required to have before beginning business. The company is now putting on a sales campaign to dispose of the remainder of the stock, and from the report of the secretary it is being rapidly taken up by the laboring man and the small inspector the corporation divided stock in series of common and preferred, the preferred hearing a common rate of interest of 5 per cent. To Help Laboring Man Offices are fitted up at 211. lively street, with J. H. Albrighton as executive secretary in charge. Mr. Albrighton is successful insurance agent for the North Carolina Muscle Car Club, and Mr. Albrighton is man in who mite the entire community in whom the entire continuity has implicit confidence. From him we learned that this latest adventure here was organized to help the laboring man in his financial difficulties by loaning him money in small sums. The corporation has worked out a plan to lend money on personal endorsements, where neither the borrower nor the endorser has real-estate above homestead exemptions, and at the same time lend money with safety, the secretary in an interview said, the money he already came to the relief of several worthy cases, who were financially distressed, and at the rate of consumption of our present series of stock we are going to be able to help many more." The demand for help was the excess of our present resources." Viewed from every angle, by this reporter, this is perhaps the most forward step taken by Negroes in this city thirteen years. With the personnel of the office, they are known for their honesty in dealing with the public, there is every reason for success of this new adventure. J. C. Bulbreth, a prosperous and well-do farmer, as president of the supreme grand master of the Artonic Templars, is vice-president. J. H. Albright, a well-known and popular insurance agent, is secretary. H W Townsend, a well-known treasurer of Your Coal Company and owner of the Progressive Printing Company, is treasurer. Mrs. Joanna Moorman, Old New Yorker, Dead Mrs Johanna Moorman, 73 years of age, for nearly half century a resident of New York, died September 14 at the residence of her daughter, Mrs Irene Moorman Blackstone, 488 Lonox avenue, after a fingering illness.

New York City is a haven for those of foreign birth who come to this country to better their conditions. A large part of the colored population were born under British rule in the West Indies, but have made America the land of their adoption. There is also a considerable contingent of Spanish speaking voters, mostly from Porto Rico and Cuba, who came here after the American occupation, because of economic reasons. Many of those who were former British subjects, have become naturalized and have the right to vote equally with native-born citizens. Others have refrained from doing so, for one reason or another. Those foreign born residents who have failed to avail themselves of the full privileges of American citizenship, are doing themselves an injustice. As a class they are uniformly intelligent, progressive and assertive of their rights. And yet many of them neglect to secure the greatest right of an American citizen, the right to vote. Whether there is some real or fancied advantage in retaining their allegiance to King-George back of this is hard to tell. 'There must be some unexplained reason why so many of our foreign born residents fail to become naturalized citizens. Naturalization is not such an intricate process as to deter the person of ordinary intelligence from qualifying. Declaration of intention, residence in this country for the necessary period, together with the attendance of the intending citizen and his witnesses before the Clerk of the United States court are part of the ordeal. At certain times, this may entail waiting in line and tedious delays, but not more than any other court proceeding. When the applicant gets his final papers, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he has a voice in the government under which he lives and helps to support. Those members of our group who were born abroad, but have made New York their home, should not delay in becoming naturalized citizens. They have as much at stake in the community as others and they should be in a position to defend it by their votes. NEW YORK STATE TICKET While the Republican-State Convention which met at Syracuse last week did not nominate the candidates picked out by The Age, it named a ticket of unenviable strength in its general appeal to the voters. The candidate for Governor, Albert Ottinger of New York City, was elected-Attorney General at the same time that Smith was elected Governor, running ahead of the party associates and being the only Republican State officer elected that year. United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, whom The Age favored for Governor, in his speech nominating Mr. Ottinger, said: While the Republican-State Convention which met at Syracuse last week did not nominate the candidates picked out by The Age, it named a ticket of undeniable strength in its general appeal to the voters. The candidate for Governor, Albert Ottinger of New York City was elected-Attorney General at the same time that Smith was elected Governor, running ahead of the party associates and being the only Republican State officer elected that year. United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, whom The Age favored for Governor, in his speech nominating Mr. Ottinger, said: "I nominate him for Governor because he will be a sign that the sacred bond of brotherhood which our American Constitution creates has always had and now its chancery has been beneath the banner of Lincoln, the Liberator, and which through the years has steadily fought the battle for emancipation from bondage, physical and social, and from oppression, and before the law, and from the pride and prejudice of race, 'creed, color and class.'" Mr. Ottinger's record in office has been of consistent courage in enforcing the law against fraud and corruption, especially in behalf of innocent investors. He has shown himself conspicuously free from bias or discrimination on account of race or color, and has appointed one of our group as an assistant on his staff. Former Senator Charles C. Lockwood of Brooklyn was nominated for Lieutenant Governor, Harry B. Growley of Rochester, for Comptroller and Hamilton Ward of Buffalo for Attorney General, Irving G. Hubbs of Pulaski was named for Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals. Former Ambassador Alanson B. Houghton of Corning was nominated for United States Senator. The ticket is as strong geographically as it is in the character and standing of the men selected for office. Mr. Ottinger is a representative of the lower East Side of New York City, Senator Lockwood of Brooklyn, while the others come from up the State. Mr. Houghton was a member of Congress before he became ambassador to Germany and later to Great Britain. He presents a high type of ability and integrity fitting for membership in the upper branch of our national legislature. All in all, the Republicans have named a state ticket well worthy of support. The task before the party is to carry the State for Hoover, elect a Republican Governor, State ticket and Legislature and send to Washington a United States Senator, as well as Republican Representatives. Concerted effort and a full vote will be required to accomplish this result. MUSSOLINI HAS A NIGHTMARE. MUSSOLINI HAS A NIGHTMAKE. Premier Benito Mussolini, the Strong Man of Italy, who made himself dictator through the organization of the black shirts, has proved himself a versatile individual. Besides having been a socialist and then the ally of the capitalists, he has written a mushy novel and developed a government which allows only its supporters the privilege of voting. His latest contribution to literature was an article written for the Italian press urging increased population in European countries. He deplored the dwindling birth rate in the large cities and issued a warning as to the consequences involved. According to a United Press dispatch from Rome to the New York Sun, Mussolini spoke of the growing number of Negroes in the United States and warned the occidental white races that they are menaced by the black and yellow tide, because of their failure to increase their populations. What relation this increase of the colored population in the United States has to Italy's securing her place in the sun, as the former German Kaiser would put it, does not appear quite evident. Premier Mussolini must have been riding a bad nightmare, when he extended his vision across the Atlantic. Italy has long, sought to establish colonies in Africa and to dominate a portion of that continent as other European powers have done. But Abyssinia routed her armies and checked her advance in that direction. Now that Italy has granted Abyssinia an outlet to the sea through territory under her control, more peaceful methods of penetration may be pursued Mussolini might do well to take pattern from the French in the matter of dealing with the darker races. Not that the French methods are free from guile and exploitation of the natives, but the French have a way of winning the allegiance of the conquered tribes by making them believe that when they recognize the power of the Republic they become Frenchmen and in France at least they are treated as such. The French dependencies in Africa and in the West Indies are accorded representation in the national legislature and constitute part of the national defence. As for the increase of the Negro population in this country becoming a menace to occidental civilization, the iden is an absurdity. The African in this country during the past three hundred years has so fully absorbed and assimilated the white civilization surrounding him, that he knows no other. He has had the same kind of mental, physical and religious training, to a greater or less degree, and much of his African heritage has been lost. In the cities he has acquired the tastes and pursuits of his white neighbors and follows the baseball scores and the speaking movies with the same assiduity. In the country districts he runs a fliver and listens to the radio in the same way. Premier Mussolini sounded his alarm still louder by saying, "the black and yellow races are now at our gates, not alone because of their fecundity but also because of their race consciousness and their dreams of the future." He referred to a slight disturbance in Harlem last July as a riot, "which after a whole night ofanguinary conflict, was finally controlled by the police." Even the Sun added a note to this reference, showing that the crowd attracted by an arrest was readily dispersed by the police reserves and only two arrests were made. A United China and Russia's increase of population have evidently given Premier Mussolini a nightmare and he took it out on the United States by talking through his hat. Or maybe he has been reading Stoddard's "Rising Tide of Color" in an Italian translation. WHISPERING AND MUD SLINGING bigotry. As we have shown in previous issues, none of these attacks upon either candidate have been more vicious than those emanating from those white Southerners, one class of whom attack Mr. Hoover for his attitude of fairness toward the Negro, while another set denounce Governor Smith, because of his supposed friendly attitude based on the policy of Tammany Hall in New York City. Mr. Smith's record as Governor furnished no ground to support these stories, and his veto of the bill to provide a new municipal court in Hurlem was inimical to race interests and was patiently dictated by the subservience to Southern prejudice. Notwithstanding Governor Smith's unfriendly attitude in this matter and his brusque treatment of the delegation that went to Albany to urge the passage of the measure, we have no sympathy with the attempt to defeat the Democratic candidate because of his religion or his opposition to the Eighteenth amendment. The stories describing him as a drunkard and the consort and champion of criminals are equally vicious and preposterous. As the New York World showed in its issue of last Sunday, libels of like character have been whispered about previous candidates for the Presidency from Washington to Roosevelt and a few of them got into print. Roosevelt carried one of these libelers into court and got a verdict against him. One of the mildest examples of this campaign of bigotry and slander was a letter purporting to have been issued by a Republican National Committeewoman in West Virginia, on stationery of the National Committee, appealing to women to "save the United States from being Romanized." This is on a par with the statement made by one Southern opponent of Smith, that in the event of his election a Pope would be installed in every State to regulate the religion and morals of the inhabitants—making a total of forty-eight popes for this country. Mr. Hoover immediately put his foot down on this woman's attempt to raise a religious issue by saying: "I cannot fully express my indignation at any suchcirculars. Nor can I reiterate too strongly that religious questions have no part in this campaign. I have repeatedly stated that neither I nor the Republican party want support on that basis." There are important and vital reasons for the need for a central administration, but that is not one of them. That is the right way to treat such exhibitions of religious, intolerance by stamping them out as soon as started. The same policy should be adopted in the matter of racial intolerance. There is no good reason why a candidate should be opposed because he has treated government employees without discrimination as to race or color. Nor should it be considered a crime, if a high state official had dictated his letters to a colored stenographer. The fact that such flimsy arguments, whether based on fact or fiction, are used by artful demagogs to win votes, is a stalling indictment of the intelligence of the American people. When the intelligence quotient of the nation is rated so low, it does not speak well for the future of representative government by the people.

RESCUE WORKERS IN FLORIDA The tropical hurricane of a few weeks ago which wrought havoc and destruction in Porto Rico and Florida, was followed by tales of heroism among the rescue workers. A news dispatch from West Palm Beach quoted a Red Cross worker describing the condition as "worse than the worst battlefields in France. In France we had solid ground under us, at least most of the time."

The heroism and fortitude of Negro workers especially is being praised. One of them, Sulele flen" Brown, has recovered eight bodies in a half-mad-search for the eight members of his own family who were missing Another Negro, Henry Dukes, Gainesville Fla., truck driver, has driven his little truck to the heart of the section to West Palm Beach (mostly) on a day with little sleep bringing out our injuries in the refuge camp. Dukes refused to accept money for gas and oil. Another Negro, Henry Dukes, Gainesville, Fla., truck driver, has driven his little truck from the heart of the section to West Palm Beach constantly for eight days, with little sleep bringing out survivors to refuge camp. Dukes refused to accept money for gas and oil. This only goes to show that calm courage and fortitude are confined to no This only goes to show that calm courage and fortitude are confined to no particular race and that in times of great disasters the Negro can be counted upon to do his share in affording relief. Those who are further removed from the scene of suffering have also helped by contributing to relief funds, the need for which has not yet ceased. This is especially true of Porto Rico, where the Red Cross is called upon to provide maintenance for half the population, until normal conditions shall be restored. Let everybody give generously to the funds being raised for the hurricane sufferers. THE AGE READERS' FORUM Honolulu—Odds and Ends By Mrs. MARTHA HILL BROWN Wife of the Rev. James W. Brown Pastor, Mother A. N. E. Zion Church Honolulu has not changed; it sang, "Kyrie Eleison." Then, the progress has been unplanned, but unlike any other place, it has not sacrificed its ancient customs. The fine heritage of an outstanding race of old, as the price of progress. Its friendly spirit, its something apart, something entirely has one. Its flow of natural beauty—flowers to them are not blossoms, but passions. Mountain peaks, or "Pali" are impersonations of the deity. Clouds are "Arkansas" or Spirit, and are consulted as the Greek consult the Oracle. The sea is the great mother or "Maui Head."

The sermon was a simply worded address in English on the childhood and Youth of Jesus. This Feast is held once a year. A Mass is in his forenamble on Saturday to 6 on Sunday afternoon where useful articles are sold. We had supper in a Chinese restaurant where our main dish was devil fish cooked in coconut oil, and then a spin to Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. This was the end of a perfect day. Captain Cook discovered these The Unqual It has been very interesting to watch the creeds and colors of many rains, living harmoniously on plantations, or in the cities, blending their garb language, religion and customs. Here, on the beach for miles, spooning parties in autos, every man attending to his own business. Here, morning glories bloom all day. Here beautiful bobbed hair men seem to like it, because the barber shops are never empty. Here, dog roasted in pits is a choice morsel. Here, Fish or Roy Day, when Chinese advertises a bobber by the number of paper fish on a tall pole. No race seem full. Here, a polyglot of races, such as Japs, Chinese, Porto Ricans, French, Germans, British, Irish, theaters, American Here, Steamer Day is a gala day; the Hawaiian Band plays the National Hymn, and pretty Hawaiian girls sing Aloho Oe, and cool fresh air are thrown over your shoulders. Here, raw fish is a favorite dish. Here, houses are built without chimneys, because only gas and electricity are used. Here, men go barefooted the entire year, and are often seen on veranda or street in their YDVs. Here boys run up fall coconut trees and throw muscular cocoatons filled with cooling milk. Here, cows refuse to drink water, but lap it from the leaves and grass. Here, flower venders call at your door, and strolling musicians make the moonlight more beautiful. Here males dance. Here, the "Hula" is a rite—Hula girls are hired to entertain passengers on the trains. Here, women wear fresh flower let on their hats to church, and men wear them always. Here, because the sun shines, the rain is out, the rain falls at the same time. The natives call it "liquid sunshine." I feeling very romantic, strolled out in the "liquid sunshine," was soaked, and had to take a tapioca home. I call it plain rain now. Here are no poisonous weeds, insects, sharks or snakes. Here houses are built of coral and grass. Here there is no tomorrow, no "Pillkair," or sorrow. Here is the end of the rainbow. It is wonderful to see it on the mountainside, or in your back yard, and on a moonlight night it is beautiful. Here is the ancient chanting of the meles. Here—the bukilau or midnight fishing parties. Here, boys spend more time fishing and swimming than in any other sport, and have fine beautiful brown bodies. Here the street cars are never in a hurry and will wait a block for you. Here, the ginger flower is used as a perfume. The natives never wear jersey bottoms. Here is the lau or native feast, and so many other unusual things, it is impossible to ination.

Davis, after a delightful drive through a ventable Garden of Fden, along the edges of deep cliffs, through coconut, guava and tree groves, over our head in tree tops the bind weed shook its feathery seed pod, and thousands of orchid hung like butterflies. A wonderful drive of 25 miles, and then the home of major and Mrs. Tripollett. Through their kindness we reviewed the parade from their cool veranda, a few feet from the hot grand stand. The divisions of the army passed the reviewing stand in beauty and perfection. When the flags passed, the National Yymm, including Wayward Sound in Dixie," was played by the band, there was mild enthusiasm. But when the thirty big army planes snooped down in front of the grand stand and then soared with tremendous applause, we returned to the beautiful home of Sergeant and Mrs. Hawkins, and sat on the veranda, pull up the trees while waiting for dinner. The Holy Ghost Feast Another unusual event, was the Holy Ghost Feast. Leaving the Filipino Church, we went to the Portuguese Church to see the Holy Ghost Feast. Hundreds of children of all races dressed in white, wreathed in scarlet, and soaked in ashles. The boys were so brown relieved by shoulder sashes of papal yellow. This was only a fraction of the worshippers. The great mountain side was enhanced in beauty by the life size Virgin, in the heart of the hills, and the light and sunshine under which purple and scarlet gleaned, and gorgeous cannonicals led this great procession, and began the open air mass, while three hundred voices sang, "Kyrie Eleison".

Captain Cook discovered these Islands in 1778. He came as a hoole, or white god, but, the natives soon found he wasn't and ate him up. Bread Fruit On our way to the beach one day, we saw a Hawaiian in brilliant yellow paren. On his shoulder was an "immense kooker or dish" with bread fruit. Bread fruit was brought into the island from Java by the Polynesians, who left India several centuries before Christ. As bread and meat is to us, so is bread and fruit, so is used at every meal, and on visiting a Hawaiian you are given a pot of pot to eat with your fingers. Some foreigners crave for it, but to me, it tastes like sour flower paste. The peasau and the pearls tend on the bread, so the Margarsian satisfies himself with poi. There are more than two hundred kinds, in different places. These tall trees furnish shade, lumber for houses and furniture, and bread fruit. The bread fruit, whose pod is the husk of which the swine did eat. Just drift casually about for a day or two. There are endless inviting corners and byways.

Don't play "Alchoo Ono" when I go An Open Letter To All Interested In Florida Negroes' Present Need An Open Letter To All Interested In Florida Negroes' Present Need Editor of The New York Age. Without a doubt, Florida Negroes, on the lower east Coast, which has been so devastated by the recent hurricane storm, are in dire need. The call for help for those who were stricken was broadcast very widely, and we are happy to report that the members of the Negro branch of the American Red Cross in this city, and many other cities in the state, have literally "rolled up their sleeves," and they are working and solving funds, clothing and food, in order that our people in the West Palm Beach, Delray, Okeechobee and Everglades area may be given 'comfort' and assistance. Ministers are making the appeal generally from the pulpits: Women's clubs and organizations, as well as males, and even school children, are little or much, according to their circumstances, to help those who are suffering. As was reported to the public by me after my visit to West Palm Beach immediately after the storm, the American Red Cross is doing its best, both for the Negroes and the whites. But it is our duty to stand by our people, in giving them help in their special needs, beyond 'the general help which the Red Cross is able to give, want to request a assistance that we have already given, and to large those who have not given, to do so—make any possible sacrifice to do so. We are appealing especially for the poor boys and girls who have been left absolutely destitute by this storm catastrophe. They must still be given training and development, and it is now a matter of impossibility for their parents—in the cases where their parents have been spared to them—to take care of any part of their expenses. In many, many cases, the parents do not have food for them. They nothing left for the institutions of the State to do but to take them in and care for them, and make an appeal to the public to help in the maintenance of them. Bethune-Cookman College, located on the East Coast, opened Septem Commenting on the dropping of colored employees and the replacing of them by whites in many instances in Norfolk, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said among other things: It must not be assumed, however, that honesty, industry and efficiency will prove a sure-cure for this job loss our group is suffering. There is an external factor that must be taken into consideration, and that is the attitude of the employing class. Lack of efficiency does not always dictate the change from colored to white help. Obviously a very natural sentiment is as often the controlling factor. This is the result of the lack of for or as deal with. We must not despair in the face of it however. We call the attention of Chambers of Commerce, Civic organizations and Municipal authorities whose membership constitute the employing class that as a part of the citizenship of this community, paying taxes directly or indirectly, spending ninety-nine percent of our earnings among local merchants, striving along with the rest of the community, materially and spiritually, we are morally entitled to a just proportion of our community's jobs. It is inconceivable that there can ever be an appreciable measure of sustained prosperity in a community in which thirty-six per cent of the population is virtually reduced to economic sterility. Manufacturers and business firms which displace Negro workers where unnecessary are actually cutting off an economy of their own, for good wages and adequate opportunity to work among Negroes is a positive stimulant to good business That is an appeal to self-interest that might be more effective than one based on higher ground. "Asking the question, "What Is John Loomis of Virginia, gung to do in Liberia now that he has been appointed financial adviser to that little republic?" Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, writing in her "Ug to Date" column in the Chicago Defender, said: That is indeed the question. Is he going to take, with him all the prejudices of his section and foist them upon: the citizens in favor of white people or is he going to fight fair? He has it in his power to do much harm or much good in the development of that little country which is bounded to have unlimited possibilities. There are many who believe that it will be possible to feel foothold among the nations. While the American Colonization society had the best of intentions when it decided to buy it and seize free people back to the continent from which their ancestors were criminally snatched, the fact remains that this land was practically stolen from the natives. For it was bought from African chiefs in 1847 for a summer load of illustrious artifacts in three buildings. In other words, the white people who bought Liberia conducted themselves as they often do in dealing with those who are not white. They do not hesitate to cheat them, whenever they can. A few years after the land was taken from the African chiefs, it was decided to the people (or who it was purchased and they established a republic similar to the one in this country. While they have been able to maintain their main they have conducted their affairs quite satisfactorily. Considering how little experience they have and how little they have had to work with they have succeeded as well as might have been expected. It is remarkable how white men from the South are selected to exploit the dependencies of this country with a large colored population, where they often prove misfits. The reported formation of a Negro Democrat club at Valdosta, caused the Atlanta Independent, of which B. J. Davis is editor to fulminate as follows.

The boys and girls are determined to have an education, and many of them have come in, anyway, even without money enough for their entrance fees. In view of theEXTENDED conditions, we cannot close the doors, because what we are feeling keenly the effects of this situation, and we, ourselves, have some help. I am asking those of you who are interested and wish to help, to secure or give scholarships for these young people, or part-scholarships, or donations toward their maintenance. Any kind of assistance will be appreciated. God has wonderfully blessed most of us with a great gratitude to Him can be expressed in our help to these young people of our race who can sadly need help at this time. Our State has a series of unfortunate recessions for the past three years, and our people are suffering from that, as well as from the recent storm conditions. I feel that there are many who will help us, knowing of our real need for help. MARY MLEOED, BETHUNE. President. Bethune-Cookin College.

A democratic Negro is the only Negro that wants social equality. The little Al Smith Negro Club Valdosta does not rise to the dignity of a decent joke. Edjor Davis suggested that Senator Harris herald the message far and wide, "that the Democrats have opened wide their political church and are taking Negroes into full membership."

All men are born free and equal but some of them grow up and get married. If original with, the journal in which they appeared, the Western contemporary is to be congratulated on possessing a pungent paragraph. Writing "Between the Lines," in the St. Luke Herald of Richmond, Gordon Blaine Hancock gives the best argument for prohibition that he has heard, as follows: Many years ago the writer was principal of a high school in South Carolina. There graduated a young man who later matriculated at a northern medical college. While sitting in the city where the college is located, our former pupil invited us to accompany him to his class in anatomy. With the permission of the professor in charge, we were admitted to the dissecting room. There were twelve bodies being dissected and we at once noticed that they were well used and stale. We asked the医生 who were not being used. The医生 said since prohibition came the bodies were scarier; for most of the bodies had to come from the poorhouse, and since prohibition was voted in, lower people died in the poor-house. If this explanation is true, it constitutes the most vigorous argument for prohibition it has been our fortune to hear. Nevertheless, Mr. Hancock is not hopeful as to the practicality of all of the measure so far proposed to entforce prohibition, because as he says, "weaning human beings from the strong drink bottle is some job." The Louisville Leader had an admonitory word to say about proper conduct in public car lines, which it did in the following stream. Newspapers have a peculiar function, namely to criticize the conduct of people, both public and private. People should be strictly on this job, for reasons too apparent to mention. Now, certain of our people have the ability of the boarding the cars and proceeding to entertain the passengers by talking loud, singing to the accompaniment of a bongo or guitar, or doing something else equally on or place. In their line they are good performers, as must be but the theater would be better omitted than presented. It helps neither the performer or his people on the car. It conjures up in the minds of certain folks visions of Jun Cun cars. It embarasses Negroes with better taste. We are really glad that our people have talent, hummer, light hearts—and the sorry, but for the good name and best interest of the cars would like for the streets to be cars to desist. Perhaps they might secure employment at the Lincoln of the Gavety. Then those folks who about their business, public, and private into the ears of the passengers—urging them to stop is good advice. The smiles they see are not smiles of approval. And if they could read the thoughts of the passengers, perhaps this editorial would be more interesting to those of you who can concern; let's ride on the car, and not perform on them. This is the heartwash of both the white and black street car riding public. There was a delicate union directly performed, the only trouble being that it is not like a watch, the people who are most in need of such advice. CHURCH ACTIVITIES N GREATER NEW YORK After having preached a sermon one Sunday on "Capital Punishment" and the next on "Obedience to the Law," our pastor, the Rev. Dr. J. A. Robinson, preached on the subject of "Self-destruction, or Suicide." He called attention to the alarming number of young people who yield to despair and ask to relieve their anxiety, their shame or even embarrassment by self-destruction. He maintained the mechanics of the 20th Century cannot satisfy the soils longing, the spirit's unrest and yearning for the living God. His text was taken from Palms 49:10-11. Next Sunday morning Dr. Robinson will preach from the subject, The Community. A soldier was rendered by Miss Ruby Green. At the evening service, the Ladies Aid, Mrs. E. L. Bell, president, held a pew rally. The pastor took for his subject, "The Sower and the Seed." St. Mark's people are enthusiastically supporting their hall rally effort. The plan is called a Pyramid and each member is asked to give 5 cents and to double their giving each week for 10 weeks. The lecture and banquet, with Miss W. Wheeler, Chappell as speaker was a fine success. Class 25, with Mrs. Pearl Barber as chairman, set a precedent in a fine social and educational evening. The pastor attended the funeral of the Rev. Dr. H. J. Wright, a retired minister of the Louisiana Conference, who lived at 207 West 131st street, with his daughter, Miss Mayne Wright, on Friday, September 28. He was the father of Dr. T. H. Wright of Newark, N. J. The revival was taken to Alexandria, LA., for burial. Class 10, George R. Jackson, leader, holds the banner this week. Grace Church of Harlem In spite of the rainy morning a large percentage of the congregation was out to hear their pastor, Dr. A. C. Garner, in his first sermon since his return from camp. Dr. Garner preached a forceful sermon from Judges 9:15. The lesson taught was that so many of us in the higher walks of life are too apt to hold an exalted opinion of ourselves and are prone to crush the man in the lower walks of life and the God sometimes punishes the exalted ones, through sorrow and troubles, by bringing him to a humble opinion of himself. Dr. Garner also, spoke on the present political crisis. The pastor and the church secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth H. Davis, attended the "Dismissal Council" of the Rev. Dr. Reed of the Flatbush Avenue Congregational Church in Brooklyn, on Thursday, September 27, at 4 p.m., the pastor as a member and the secretary as a delegate of the "Council." The meeting was a most interesting one and the resignation of Dr. Reed was accepted with address of the position of appreciation and regret. The resignation took effect October 1. Dr. Reed leaves to accept the position of executive secretary of the Congregational Board. Miss Amelia Evandine Douglas and John Augustus Richards were united in the holy bonds of matriarchy by the pastor, Saturday evening at 9 p.m. The last vesper service of the season was well attended. After the usual prayer and praise service by W. Herbert King, Lemuel Foster gave a talk on "Spirituals" and also sang a number in a most pleasing program that was much enjoyed by those present. Ms Amelia Cannon gave a violin solo, accompanied on the piano by her mother, Mrs. Alma Cannon. Next Sunday evening the regular prayer service will begin at 8 p.m. Dr. A. C. Garner will preach. Mid-week prayer service on Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock. Salem M. E. Church Sunday was a big day at Salem Church, Dr. Cullen preached a telling sermon on "Working For Jesus," at the morning service. The sermon service was given over to a testimonial to Rev. Joseph Hill, assistant to Dr. Cullen, who will depart this week for Gammon, Theological Seminary, where he will prepare for the ministry. "Bringing Forth Fruit" was the theme of Dr. Cullen's discourse, in which he exhorted the worshippers to love and care for more versatile lives. He reminded it is bringing forth fruit—either working for God, or against Him. The Men's Bible Class followed directly after the morning service and was instructed by Rev. William Meyers. The Metropolitan Literary Society of Metropolitan Baptist Church presented a program at the Lyceum in keeping with the custom of the two organizations of exchanging good will program occasionally. The program included musical numbers and readings by members of the society. A short talk on Culture, or Character, was also made by one of the members. Miss Barnwell, the newly elected president, was in charge. Mrs. Nannie Taylor made her welcoming address. The senior department of the League had for their discussion the topic "Eyes Frontal Cues in Christian Living." The choice, by George Simmons, contributed several numbers. Miss Elizabeth presided. "Ingatitude, one of the most popular sins of today" was what Rev. Hill spoke about in his farewell sermon at the evening service. In the course of his, sermon Rev. Hill spoke of his gratitude to Dr. Cullen and the people of Salem Church for their spiritual and manly help given him while laboring in the church and since he has decided to leave for college. Before the close of the service Dr. Cullen on several leaders and officers who work in glowing terms of Brother Hill's work as a young man and a Christian's centre membership contributed to a fund which is to help him in his schooling and several organizations made individual presentations. Bro Hill was leader of Class-9, which has now been turned over to Isaac Robinson and James Howell. He also organized and worked, with the clubs besides teaching in the Sunday school and assisted with the work among the young people. Rev. Hill leaves for Atlanta, Ga., Friday morning. Dr. Cullen has been the inspiration of several young men going out from Salem Church to study for the ministry, some of whom are now prominent successes in their ministerial careers. Sunday, October 7, Dr. Lorenzo King, King of the Southwestern Christian, Advocate, will address a special group of young people at the Lyceum. Paradise Baptist Church "Regardless of the rainy weather Sunday morning the Sunday school turned out at 9:45 with their hearts ready to work for the Master. At 11 a. m., the Rev. H. W. Stanley delivered a burning message from the 7th chapter of St. Matthew, 6 verse: "Do not cast your pearls before swine." Jesus said: "do not give your pearls to swine, otherwise your pearls will then under their feet and the attack them." Some people think it is necessary to answer all question put to them relating to religion, but if the question does not put your answer into action for the uplifting of humanity, then you have cast your pearls before swine. At the evening hour Rev. Stanley chose as his subject "Be A. Crosse Bearer" St. Matthew 10:38. He mentioned the qualifications of a wonderful character exemplified in the life of Christ the cross that He bore was a headlight to the world. His sermon was uplifting and penetrating. At the close of the service, the Rev. W. M. Johnson, a follower of the cross for many years, inspired our hearts with a short talk of what we have received from carrying his cross, and the thought that if he will endure to the end he will receive a crown of life, as promised. Union Baptist Church Last Friday evening we closed the union services of our church and the Little M. Zion Baptist Church. The services were well attended. There was a splendid spirit of fellowship between the two churches. The Sunday school was not well attended, owing to the weather. He rented the chair rendered excellent service by the song. The ceremony was delivered by Dr. Vernon John, director of Religious Education. He spoke about "Three Experiences With God." This was a very instructive and helpful message. The missionary service was in charge of the juniors. The B. Y. U. had an interesting session. At 8 p.m., our pastor was with us. He preached at 11 a.m. in the great Metropolitan Baptist Church in Washington, D. C. of which Dr. C. Smith is the pastor. His subject was "Blessing was Nnaman's Five Mistakes." Two united with the church. Offering amounted to $602.66. We are preparing for our ~30th anniversary and 3rd dedicatory services, which will begin October 21. Mt. Olivet Baptist Church There was a large attendance at the morning service at Mount O'Veet Baptist Church, Sunday, September 30. The pastor, Rev. W. P. Heyes, chose his text, from 1st Chronicles 19th chapter, 12th verse, "And he said, if the Syrians be too strong for me then thou shall help me"; but if the children of Ammon he too strong for thee, then I will help thee." Some of the outstanding points in his sermon were; no movement has ever been able to succeed without enthusiasm; sacrifice before recognition; goodness is not contended for unarmed religion; it impossible for arm to live into himself; that men are mutually dependent the one upon the other, and that one cannot accomplish multiplication by division. The theme of the whole discourse was "help each other," which was touching in its anecdal. The evening service was well attended. Dr. J. D. Eust, who spent 11 years as missionary in Africti, spoke concerning the five boarding-schools at and near Liberia before presenting Miss Sarah C. William-Hawkins, also at Liberia, West Africa. Her discourse centered around John 10:16, "And other sheep I have, which age not of this fold; them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd." She spoke of the fact that Mo- WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH memoriamism is...swearing Africa and that the teaching of Jesus is hard and slow work. Her description of the ignorance, diseased bodily, unanitary living, the belief in witchcraft, and the great change when the light reaches them concerning Jesus Christ, was 'pillful and very touching. When she told how she prayed for a little vaseoline or Vicks salve, it made us feel quite ashamed of ourselves for our slothfulness, in sending supplies. She also spoke of the high quality of alert minds found in Africa, showing all is needed is a chance. It is indeed a lesson in sacrifice, when one looks upon Miss AVHISMAN son who is quite a young lady, pretty, well educated and seems to have every advantage in personality, and know she 'has gone into the darkest regions of Africa from village to village, through forests, through bridges streams, even sometimes after dark, to carry gospel and civilization to our benighted brethren. Some of us learned much from her address, especially the fact that the only way we can enter our own nature is through Liberia, by the white man, is through Liberia, who is spending all its energy to keep foothold on African soil, independently. While there are highly cultured natives in Liberia who live well, what of the natives of the interior? Collection, for the day was $967-40. Of this, amount $115.50 was given to foreign mission.

Church The church during the past week took on the appearance of a machine shop. Throughout the week, the different organizations, with different men and women made thing shout around our new edifice. All this was being done in preparation for the dedicatory services of the church, which began Monday night, October 1, Home Cemetery Night, as the first time the community committee Monday there were a committee meeting in the study of the pastor's home and rehearsal by the Sunday school people of the play, Aunt Dinah's "Quilting Party," choir out to rehearse, all looking forward to the use of the new pipe organ for the first time Sunday. Wednesday night the B. Y. P. U. was omitted because of the first public monthly meeting of the Reception held in the church, with many of the pastors present, accompanied by their people. Dr. Vernon Johns director of the Center, was the speaker on the occasion, and, as an indication of the interest, we need to have a book on the subject from Philadelphia. This work of the fall in the Center starts off suspiciously. Thursday night "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party, under direction of the Booker, was given for the Sunday lecture, room filled with people. Friday night the Prayer service was conducted by the sisters, as the 'brehren' were 'were' busy putting the 'brehren' on the cover, by arranging, the new tables. Sunday at 11 a. m. Dr. Charles H. Sears, secretary of the City. Baptist Mission. Society, was the preacher. He came early to get a look at the new edifice. He expressed himself as delightful in the church house, and then preached a masterly sermon to a large congregation. The rain interfered somewhat with the attendance. In the afternoon Dr. John W. Saunders, pastor of Walker Memorial Baptist Church, with his robed chair, officers, and many of his members, were present. He reached a great sermon, his chair also rendered splendid service in their contributions. Sister Frances. Quinn, president of the Naomi Club, was full of smiles and good words, because of the success of this effort.

The Church school staff will be pleased to see any of the members at anytime. They meet every Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. Siloam Presbyterian Church Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, in keeping with Religious Education Week, took his text for the morning hour of worship at Siham from Mark 8:18. In his discourse he brought out a flight of the hour was a protest against traditionalism, that the world is indicted to the few people who are called pioneers. Christian should be confined only to following the footsteps of Jesus Christ, pioneer. The whole of life is a school, our contacts and experiences are our schoolmasters Christ calls to noble, aggressive life. The religion of Jesus Christ helps to keep the world safe, helps to have the consciousness of God at all times and under all conditions, keeps one fit, strong and brave. In closing, the pastor emphasized and urged the necessity of each and everyone, young and old; having a reverence for God and for a holy life and to never let that reverence fade out, and to have a keen sense of what is good and bad within us, and further to conserve ourselves to grow in knowledge and grace of God and in a tendering heart and refining mind.

Concord Baptist Church Sunday morning in the Church school was different, due to the fact that all departments above the junior met together under the teaching of Superintendent Cooper. The Sunday school is entering the context for a 50 per cent increase in membership, being sponsored by the Brooklyn S. S. Union. The morning worship, Rev. James Adams, appointed the end of a series of practical nationalistic and racialistic cermons, prefacing the final one on Smith, scheduled for the second Sunday evening. His plea for funds for a young woman student, who needs help to complete her education met with a hearty $50 response. Rev. Adams stated that although scholarships are splendid they do not meet a need of this type where, the student is overworked to the extent that the ability to fill scholarship requirements is beyond her strength; but a little timely assistance may save her entire future. "The Christ, a Mystery" was the subject of a colorful sermon by Rev. Daniel Reid of Matawan, N. J., at the evening service. The pastor baptized four persons, two of them girls in their teens.

C.—Pre-season football practice is in full swing at Howard University where much interest centers about the new system and style of play being introduced by the new Coach, Charlie West, former Washington and Jefferson star. Fifty men have reported for the early tryouts, all in the best of spirit and for the most part in good physical condition. The squad contains a wealth of material, both old and new. Coach West is confronted with the problem of building an entirely new line, of new material and old men shifted to new positions. In the backfield, while he has the advantage of several experienced men, the new style of play gives equal opportunity to every contender. The coach has the advantage of knowing the ability of most of the old men gained through two years' experience as assistant to Coach Watson. From the very start, however, he has insisted that no position is "cinched" by reason of past performance, and that every man will have to fight desperately for a place in the line-up. Nine Letter Men Report Nine letter men have reported. These include Captain "Hoss" Ross, "Jack" Cole, "Dan" Brown and Payne in the backfield, while Hawkins and Webb are out for the line. "Jack" Young has reported but has not begun practice because of playground employment "Pete" Tyson observes daily drills, although an injury received in the Francis Junior High School Swimming Pool prevents active practice. Sallie, left end of 1926, has also reported, but because one work has not been able to begin practice. Two Bast hit—Mason Home runs—Lloyd and Hubbard. Strikeouts—Jackman 5. Campbell 5. and Thomas 1.

Miss Mary Blalack will direct the physical education for women. Miss Blalack comes from Harrisburg, Pa. Director Kindle will be assisted by Theodore ("Ted") Wright. Wright, while new in the Southeastern Conference, has had a wide range of experience as player and coach While at Baker University, Wright was one of the best broken field runners in the Kansas Conference. With the separation of high school and college athletics, Talladega's athletes will be playing under regulations, comparing with those of the leading Eastern universities. This marks a pioneer step in the Southeastern Conference where the one-year residence rule was adopted last year. Talladega's teams will be made up of college men with the exception of high school men who have made their letters. These letter men may play during the present year but those not reaching college rank by next September will be relegated to the high school or dropped from active competition. The high school gridders will be under Coaches Talbot and Hamilton. Harry ("Big Hampi") Hamilton was captain of the Crimson Tornado last season Talbot spent the summer at the coaching school of the University of Pittsburgh Coaches Kindle and Wright are pleased with the ability of the new men, as well as the return of the following letter men: Capt Baker, Pearson, James, Simmons, Hutchins, McClenney, Page, Fews, Walker, Askew and Douglas. "No Other Woman" At The Roosevelt Theatre How do you approach a door? The door of your sweetheart's home for instance? There is all the difference in the world the way a hero and a "heavy" open a door, according to Don Alvarado who made this discovery during the filming of "No Other Woman," Lou Tellegen's production for Fox Films, coming to the Roosevelt Theatre "Utterly unlike the mental attitude of two such characters," said Alvarado recently "The 'heavy' is governed with ideas of his own gain, cost what it may to the other person. He is accustomed to taking a long chance. If he loses he can try his luck elsewhere In "The Mysterious Lady" which comes to the Douglas Theatre, Greta Garbo brings fresh triumphs to the screen. For the new Metro Goldwyn Mayer feature production the exotic film star achieves new heights in character delineation and again demonstrates her ability to surround an unusually unresponsive role with sympathy. As the beautiful Russian spy in this gripping drama of European military intrigue Mrs. Garbo plays the downfall in a congenial enemy of her who has become enamored of hat.

Negroes in that neighborhood, will soon have the only theatre in New York named for Negro performers and operated under Negro supervision. It is the new Drake and Walker Theatre, formerly the Apollo, located on 125th street near Seventh avenue. Henry Drake and Ethel Walker, who traveled throughout the country as a vaudeville team, and later as the head of their own musical comedy company, are the lessees of the theatre and on October 8, they will produce their first show in their own theatre. It will be a full length musical comedy—a two hour show, in which Drake and Walker and their hand will be featured. Several well known performers have also joined their company. The Apollo, formerly a burlesque house, is one of the largest theatre in uptown New York, with a seating capacity of 2,600. It is being entirely renovated and when it reopens the entire staff, with the exception of the manager, will be colored. Phil Berg, who for the past eight years was booking agent and manager of the Drake and Walker road shows, has been retained as manager of the new theatre. According to a statement given the press by Mr Berg, the policy of the house will be straight musical shows of the better grade. The prices of admission will be 15, 25 and 35 cents in the afternoon, and 25, 35 and 50 cents at night. "Deep Harlem" Draws At Lafayette Theatre Earl Dancer's "Deep Harlem" proved a sensation at its opening matinee at the Lafayette Theatre Monday unfortunately the bookings of the Lafayette presents the show from being held over. The reception which it received from the audience would justify an extended run "Deep Harlem" is presented in ten spectacular scenes. It is the story of a famous Kushite tribe. The story traces the history from their ancient tribal home through several generations which brance them to Harlem and in front of the most famous place in Harlem - this Lafayette Theatre By far the most impressive and imposing scenes which have ever been staged in a local theatre are part of "Deep Harlem". Among these scenes are the ancient forest home of the Kushite tribe and and desert encampment which this tribe is driven by heartless slave drivers, a convict shin, a southern plantation, a convict farm, a popular Harlem gin mill—and the Lafayette Theatre. An unusually large cast is presenting "Deep Harlem". There are seventy-five entertainers in all, including Salem Tutt Whitney, Homer Tutt, Mable Ridley, Grant Sterling, Doe Green, E.

"Meet The Gang," with the Alhambra Players back from Philadelphia in fine form. Dusty Fletcher, Roscoe Montella and John Mason are all above par this week. The ladies — Amanda Randolph, Eloise Bennett and Julia Moody, with the juveniles, Charles Ray and Ted Blackman, all proved worthy of their popularity. The drama features Billy Andrews in "Blackmail." He plays the part of an honest mayor who defeats his crooked rival, played by George Randolph. Other in the cast are Barrington Carter, Ted Blackman Artie Carr, Susie Sutton and Edna Young Lew Leslie To Send Out Second "Blackbirds" Co. Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928." an apparent failure when first produced at the Liberty, i not only going to move from the Liberty to the Elfinge, October 15, but a second company of this revue is to take to the road at that time, with an opening in Boston. It seems that the Liberty, not anticipating the long run of the revue last July booked Channing Pollock's play "Mr. Moneypenny" for October 17, and Mr. Leslie determined to send the revue on the road. Since then the success of the piece has determined him to have two companies. With the opening Friday night, October 5, of the Alhambra Ballroom, atop the Alhambra Theatre building at 129th street and Seventh avenue, Harlem can boast another fine ballroom, suitable for private receptions, athletic contests or public balls. The Alhambra Ballroom was completely remodeled and redecorated by a staff of Negro mechanics, under direction of "Baltimore" Sewell. It is being opened with an all colored staff headed by Charles, H. Anderson, manager, and Herbert Johnson, assistant. Mr. Anderson has long been identified with dancing and the stage in Harlem, ad at one time conducted a dancing studio on Lenox avenue. The ball-room itself is more elaborate than any in uptown New York. There is a regular stage at one end, with dressing rooms and other modern conveniences, and at the other and the sides is a raised platform and balcony, with boxes for spectators. The dance floor itself is large enough for a basketball court and the ceiling is so high that this will become a popular headquarters for this indoor sport. Two orchestras, the Swanee Ramblers and Bill Brown and His Brownies, have been engaged to furnish music, and a number of hostesses have been engaged to dance with the unescorted males who may visit the place.

WHITE MI-TEE MONARCH 45 BAND APPEARS IN FIRST SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERT AT JUNIOR HIGH; CARROLL CLARK SINGS the Mi-Tee Monarch Band, Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, director, appeared in its first Sunday afternoon concert of the 1928-29 season on September 30 in the auditorium of the Girls' Junior High School, 185th street and Edgecombe avenue, before an audience that, small in numbers, evinced the most enthusiastic appreciation of the splendid work of this group of musicians. For this initial offering, Lieut. Simpson presented a program of interested interest, with an appeal to the musciarly erudite as well as to the musically unsophisticated. Perhaps the most striking feature of the program was the Unfinished Symphony in B Minor by Schuhert, which ranges the entire gamut of musical expression, with its piquantly beautiful theme that is heard from one, then from another of the instrumental choirs. As has been said before in this column, there has been developed by Lieut. Simpson a collection of reed and wood instrumentalists that is of incomparable merit. Through the superb accomplishment of this group of players, it is possible for Monarch Band to essay the interpretation of works that hitherto have only been heard when played by the big symphonic organizations with large and capable string choirs, and so the audiences at these free Sunday afternoon recitals are doubly privileged, for Monarch plays also the compositions specially adapted to a brass band with meticulous aptitude and vivacious abandon. Following "The Star Spangled Banner," the band swung into its afternoon's discoursing with a spirited rendition of the March et Cortège from Gounod's "La Reine de Saba," ("Queen of Sheba"), and this was followed by Rossini's "Barber of Seville" Overture. A distinct contrast was shown in the delicacy with which the dainty Serenade, "Souvenir" by Drdla; and the Menuet in G by Beethoven, were rendered. A medley which included many old favorites from the late Victor Herbert's popular compositions was enjoyed, and then Alderman Fred R Moore, who is treasurer of the Mi-Tee Monarch 45 Band Summer Concert Fund, was introduced by Dr. Lawrence J. Davenport, master of ceremonies, whose interesting and enlightening synopsis preceding each number was one of the most interesting and valuable offerings of the afternoon. Mr. Moore made a strong appeal to the people present to support the effort of Lieut. Simpson and his bandsmens to furnish service to the community through these free musical renditions, and urged upon them the civic duty of contributing to the fund. As the Alderman concluded his stirring speech, and turned to descend from the stage, he was stopped by Dr. Davenport, who, in a few well chosen and apt remarks, recited the band's appreciation of the interest exhibited in its efforts by Alderman Moore, and the work he has done in helping the organization to become a vital factor in community development, and then, on behalf of Lieut Simpson and the band, presented Alderman Moore with a handsome silver receptacle, bearing the following inscription: Taken completely by surprise, Alderman Moore was at a loss for a few moments, but he quickly recovered and gave eloquent expression to his appreciation of the kindly act. Resuming the musical program, Dr. Davenport then introduced C. Carroll Clark, baritone, who was the solist on occasion of the band's opening concert last season. Mr. Clark sang with thrilling effect a Russian folk song, "Fi Uchnam" ("Song of Volga Boatman") by Janspolki, explaining its similarity in origin and musical structure to the Negro folksong. A second number was the English song, "Homing," and then, in response to an insistent demand from the audience, he sang Avery Robinson's arrangement of the Negro work song, "Water Boy." To the pleased surprise of the audience, Dr. Davenport at the piano, played the accompaniments for Mr. Clark, in the absence of the programed accompanist. The final numbers were an Argentine Tango, "El Choclo" by Vallodo, played with intriguing understanding, the Unfinished Symphony referred to above, and a descriptive number, "Forest Idyl" by Michaels. As is always so at these band concerts, the musicians, standing, played "Auld Lang Syne" for the formal closing. In response to the appeal made by Alderman Moore, a number of the people handed in cash subscriptions to the fund which will make possible the series of free open-air concerts by Monarch Band. In cooperation with the City's Park Department, the past summer, the band played several concerts from the roof of the comfort station in the St Nicholas Park at 135th street, and it is hoped that voluntary subscriptions from the people of Harlem will make it possible to increase the number to be given next summer.

Harrison, perhaps the race's most outstanding dramatist and teacher, celebrated his 61st birthday a few days ago, and his calls to mind the fact that during the past five years he has been responsible for the development of an unusual interest in dramatist among certain groups of school teachers and educators in North Carolina. Live summers ago, Mr. Harrison was called to Greensboro, N.C., to serve in the summer school for teachers which is operated annually by that institution. Whatever may have been the cause, the course in dramatics offered these teachers for transference in turn to the pupils in their schools, was not immediately popular. In fact, according to Mr. Harrison, in some cases it was necessary to plead with desirable individuals to take up the course, since it was not a compulsory study. The number taking the course the first year finally reached 12, but some idea of what has been accomplished by Mr. Harrison may be seen in the past summer's enrollment, which totalled 150, one of the largest study groups of the entire summer school. This necessitated the opening of the dramatist study immediately after breakfast in training, with students sometimes listed until the retiring bell isight. Mr. Harrison was asked to tell something of how this splendid growth was affected and how he finally managed to secure the interest of this large group of teachers to the extent that they taxed the facilities of his department. Said he! "In the first place I made an effort to give each student something to take home with them that would make them better teachers—for my pupils were all teachers—something they could impart in turn to their pupils to give them an accurate system of expression, and this in turn would help the communities through aiding church and other local programs. "I give my students only the best recitations published. Trashy recitations have no place in my studio. If a student has sufficient mind to learn a trashy selection, that same mind can be used to learn something worth while. Each recitation is a matter of rendition, and good rendition is a result of good work in preparation. "Many students," said Mr. Harrison, "do not care for public renditions at the school, but last summer I had so many who did that we did not have sufficient programs to give them all a showing, so President Bluford and Director Jones consented to have some of them appear at the regular morning chapel from time to time, and these appearances added much to the interest of these exercises." Realizing that his work must have embraced also the presentation of dramatic plays, that his pupils might have opportunity, to become somewhat familiar with stage mechanics, Mr. Harrison was asked as to his work along that line. "What is true in recitations," said he, "is also true in the plays presented, which includes four Shakespearean plays during the five years. Last year we gave a tabloid of 'Hamlet,' and so creditable was the work of the cast that I rather wished for a New York audience to view and compare their work with that of metropolitan Thespians. "In this connection, it is an important fact that our department is in harmony with the other departments, particularly the Department of Music under Prof. O. A. Fuller. The closing effort the past year was a combined production by the dramatic and musical departments of a big musical play, which in my opinion surpassed anything I have seen outside of grand opera. "Of course, it is patent that we must have talent to work with, but the South is teeming with talent hat needs but proper direction, a sincere interest and a modicum of patience. Next summer, the course will be twelve weeks, initial of six as in the past, and I am looking forward to the accomplishment of something really worth while." Mr. Harrison makes his headquarters in New York during the winter, with concert events that take him over an extensive territory, South and West. Harlem Youngsters In Junior Concert Company Mrs. Bertha DesVerney of 188 St. Nicholas avenue, has selected some of the most brilliant and versatile children of Harlem for, her Junior Concert Company.

HARRISON ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Peter Browne, whose case against Isadore Meyer had been twice adjourned, has succeeded in securing judgment against Meyer. The case, as you will recall, involved six weeks' salary claimed by Pete for subbing for Izzy as pianist at the tough theatre. Pete had worked one day, and on reporting the second day found the theatre management had sent a lady to replace him. After a heated discussion in the pit, Pete withdrew and filed his claim against Meyer. At the Trial Board of Local 602, it is alleged, Peter questioned the right of the Theatre Management to prevent him earning his livelihood as a union musician, when his qualifications, as a musician were unquestioned—he having previously worked for the management steadily for nine months. The Trial Board allowed Peter one week's salary instead of for the six weeks he claimed. So Peter did two days work and gets a week's pay. Azyz thus impelled to pay two men a full week's salary through no direct fault of his own. John Haywood, violin and saxophone player, has replaced Don David as manager at the Roswell Theatre. This is about the third time that David has been displaced by the Management of the chain in Harlem. Like a jack in the box a little while you see him, a little while you don't. But David has been wide awake and is expecting to take an orchestra in a theater before the month expires. William A Brown of Brooklyn tremboust and leader of an organized band some years ago, is again blossoming in the spotlight. Bill is scheduled to open a new dance hall in Harlem shortly before Please us play an orchestra has recently closed at the Swance club in 125th street, will also take part in the opening of the dance hall. These two orchestras will alternate nightly in furnishing music for the patrons of the hall Delon, for a number of years was a player in Brown's Orchestra. A misunderstanding arose and the Union was called on to settle the altercation. Now they will find themselves and their orchestra in public competition, on the same band, standing, not to play each other and get the reputation of being the better orchestra. There is one thing about Delon's orchestra which might be a skill—Why did Delon not rehearse his orchestra in the N. A. M. A. rehearsal room? Delon is most of the musicians if not Amsterdam men now, used to be, and why should Delon elect to rehearse his men in St Mark's Hall, when orchestras alien to the N. A. M. A. as the rehearsal room "that's his business" does not answer the question. Secretary Arms-Minton is back from Kentucky in fine fettle and full, recovered from his indisposition. Minton reports, as told him in Kentucky, that a colored club tried to form a colored local there, but the local officials told the club members they would have to see President Weber, whose office is in New York. Shortly after there was a convention in Kentucky, and there was Mr Weber himself! He was cornered, so the story goes, gave his consent, the necessary things were done, and the charter granted the Colored boys, before the white local authorities knew what was going on. By 1972, business like local 1577, Business of Kentucky, has most institutions placed on them as an allusion of territory, as is usual when a white and colored local are in the same town. So they can play without legitimate interference from the white local, any place they may secure a job. A wonderful clubhouse and a large membership is proof positive of the ability, energy and cooperation of the officers and members of the Kentucky Colored Local. Long may they reign in peace, harmony and prosperity. Minton says they were lavish in their entertainment of him and could not do enough to show their appreciation of him. Leroy Smith and his wonderful orchestra are back at Connies' Inn after an absence of several years, in which they filled several engagements in and out of New York. Vauxhall, N. J. Vauxhall, N.

M. to 3 A. M. ONE ADMISSION Prof. CHAS. H. ANDERSON Charge de Affairs BOOKS NOW OPEN FOR ALL OCCASIONS YOUR BABY'S COLD We know no complaint more common in babies and children than "the common cold". This is the season of the year when your baby is most likely to "catch cold". A cold may be the forerunner of something more serious. The cold varies from a mild running of the nose, with cough, through the various mucous greases of bronchitis to pneumonia. What are the causes of colds? (I) Colds are due to an infection, that is, some type of bacteria Moses Dykos, Durey Varnadol, Baker Jones and Mrs. Claudie Haze motored to Savannah last Tuesday.

Elizabeth. N. J. Elizabeth, N. J—Miss Mattie J. Hawks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W B Hawks has returned to Etrick. Va, to resume her studies at the Virginia State College. has found suitable soil for growth in the particular child affected. (2) Something has occurred to lower the resistance of the child, or the particular infection is overwhelming. (3) The most frequent cause of No. 2 is over-clothing the child, especially, those under one year. Who has not seen the child with his flannel and two shirts and light-band, and petticoat and knitted sweater and coat and blanket, oftimes two blankets. Does this seem extreme to you? I see it every day. Take a peek beneath this baby's flannel and see the skin bathed in perspiration. Now think of this child being taken out into the street this weather and one need not wonder that it "catches cold" so easily. (4) This brings us to exposure to sudden changes of temperature. Again a baby over-clothed in warm, stuffy (and soon steam-heated) apartment is taken out in the raw weather of the present season. Unless your baby is very well and vigorous and not over-clothed it were better that the baby be "giving" inside, by beating him and opening the window. We have repeatedly stated that babies are not able to regulate their heat-controlling mechanism in the manner of adults. They lose heat more rapidly than adults because they have a greater body surface in contrast to their weight as have adults. (5) Malnutrition predisposes to colds; Rickets especially because with the poor nutrition we have many times a deformatory of the chest which dimmishes the chest capacity and thus the amount of air the child can breathe. (6) Disease of the tonsils or adenoids make catching cold easy; not only because of the "chronic infection, but also because of the associated mouth-breathing. (7) Measles, and especially whooping cough, predisposes the child to colds and bronchitis. (8) In older children we must bear in mind over-cating, over-fatigue, and in all children constipation. Now what we have said concerning "colds" applies equally well to bronchitis. What shall we do to prevent or lessen the chances of the child getting a cold? If you will re-read what we have said so far you will have the answer to this question. May we add another, thing, used (not often enough) by adults but seldom tried on infants and children? I refer to the cool bath, that is, the cool bath following the warm tubbing. Children may be accustomed to this gradually without out fear of injury. I did not say cold water. But even this is taken by some runabouts we know. Back in the second century A.D. a Roman physician, Soranus, who wrote about the care of children advocated this. It must be used with caution, to be sure; and unless there is a felling of warmth after or the skin of the baby is red and warm, it must be discontinued. In this trial he leaves the child a crinum and covered with "goose flesh" the probability is that you have started with water too cold. Rub him vigorously with a coarse towel until he does get a healthy reaction. What shall you do if the child has a cold? In the first place what nine-tenths of mothers do not do—put the child to bed. Then call your doctor. Meanwhile if there is much fever give the baby castor oil and stop all food. The child will not starve. Give him plenty of water or lemonade or orangeade. This is the time to save the proverbal nine stitches. A hot bath will do much to allay the fever. But you will do more. Mother You will apply some time-honored poulice. Now if you must do this let me suggest that you use a mustard plaster—remembering to add three to four times as much flour as mustard, to apply this back aid front, and to remove it after 15 to 20 minutes, and grease the skin with vaseline. Now you will be ready for your doctor. INTERESTING ITEMS GLEANED BY THE AGE CORRESPONDENTS Warwick, N. Y.—Sunday was a busy day in the church.

DEPT B-6 THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES The more thought we give to the letter of Mrs. Maud Jones, which is featured in this column last week, the more we are inclined to believe that Mrs. Jones has presented to the colored employees of the Pullman Company a rough draft of a potential building. The building, so to speak, is her idea of what Pullman porters and other Negro employees of the Pullman service might accomplish in the way of an exhibition. Just for the sake of observation, let's analyze the idea. Mrs. Jones says that among the families of colored employees of the Pullman Company there may be found one, and in some cases several, of their members who is an adept in some sort of artistry, and that one of the ways in which the skill, ingenuity and talent of these families could be brought to the attention of the public would be by these employees staging an exhibition in which the said members would be the exhibitors. Such a show, she says, would have the effect of demonstrating to the white race what the wives, sons and daughters of ordinary working Negroes can produce in the way of skill and art. Figuratively, that is the rudimentary blueprint which the lady offers. Unlike the architect who draws the plans for the prospective building, Mrs. Jones offers no specifications for the prosecuting of her idea, leaving, we assume, that phase of the matter to a later time. For that would be no need in this case of presenting plans before the foundation is laid, and the foundation depends entirely upon whether the interest of the members of the Pullman fraternity can be enlisted in the project. Without any idea as to the feasibility of such a project, nevertheless, this reporter thinks it is an excellent thought. In his opinion it offers a way to reach the public. Let the public see for itself a glimpse of the domestic side of the Pullman porter. Acquaint it in a specific way with the home-life and environments of that group of workers which are sometimes referred to as a national institution in America. Individually, the Pullman porter, like any other worker of his class, is evaluated according to his thrift, which evaluation usually comes by personal acquaintance. But as general knowledge, the public knows very little about the rank and file of Pullman porters, away from Pullman cars. As a matter of fact, the public has a dubious, if not altogether erroneous, idea of the life of these employees, when they are away from their employment. It is the general opinion (outside of his race) that the average Pullman porter is at best a person with little ambition, doubtful home ties and an inclination to emulate the sporting life of the gambler. That those of this type are the exceptions and not the rule is not generally known. And, of course, little efforts has been made collectively by the porters to enlighten the public on this score. Mrs. Jones offers a way to correct these impressions. The suggestion she presents is a commendable one, and would recommend it itself to the substantial members of the porters' group. If the idea could be developed to a state of actuality, there is no telling how far reaching would be its beneficial reactions. Besides what reactions might develop therefrom, the proposition would serve other purposes. First, it would serve to stimulate group pride, something in which it seems the porters are somewhat delicent. Secondly, it would be the means by which the public could get a truer perspective of the personal life of the porters. Thirdly, we might say most importantly, it would, without doubt, help the porters economically. In fact, we believe it would result in bringing to the porters many phases of betterment in their industrial relations. On the subject of industrial betterment, we say now as we have said before in this column, if the Pullman Company of its own volition doesn't improve the industrial conditions of its porters, the only other resort these employees have is the public. But the trouble here is that the public is not unlike the individual. It welcomes your smiles and your achievements, but your woes and your troubles—well, as Moran or Mack, (which is it?) in the "Two Black Crows" would say, "Oh, I'd rather you wouldn't speak of that." That is usually the Public attitude towards industrial complaints and contentions. Mrs. Jones's idea is worthy of consideration for many reasons and from many angles.
