Actual photograph of the Jim Crow Wire Cage installed at the Democratic National Convention for segregation of all Negro visitors who attended the sessions. This was the convention which nominated Governor Al Smith and Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas as the Democratic standard bearers. The installing of the wire cage for Negroes was a slap in the face to every Negro in the United States who claims allegiance to the Democratic Party, and was in direct repudiation of promises alleged to have been given Houston, Texas.

HOUSTON JURY FREES ONE ON LYNCHING CHARGE Other Five Held In Case For Killing Negro To Be Tried Later Houston, Tex.—With one of the men alleged to have participated in the lynching of Robert Powell, a Negro, here June 20 cleared by a jury, the State has turned to gathering evidence against five other men indicted for murder in connection with the case. The other murder trials will come up at a later term of court. Charlie Oldham, first of the sexet to go to trial, was freed October 7. The case went to the jury late Saturday night after a short trial, featured by the testimony of Detective-Capt Tom Shelley that he had advanced Oldham to sign a statement in connection with the case and had told Oldham that he didn't think anything much would come of the affair. Oldham testified he was home at the time the Negro was lynched. He said his statement was based on in- Senator Moses And The Negro The citation of the New York Age tried over the phone to get a statement from Senator George H. Moses concerning his alleged speech before a group of women on Monday night, in which he is quoted as saying, "There is no Civil Service Commissioner in Washington of the Negro race who dictates letters to a white stenographer." The Senator's secretary reported him "Out," and to time of going to press, the Age has had no message from Senator Moses. We await his explanation. formation he gained when he heard another of the indicted men dictate a statement. He said that officers asked him to make the statement in order to help them "hush up" adverse publicity being given Houston. Powell was kidnapped from Jefferson Davis hospital by unmasked men and hanged. He was suffering from a gunshot wound and was under a charge of murder, in connection with the death of City Detective A. W. Davis, who was shot to death in a battle with the Negro. The lynching, coming just before the Democratic National Convention at Houston, attracted considerable attention. Wyatt Archer, Dies Suddenly In N. Y. Wyatt, Archer, one of the best known sportsmen in the country, died suddenly Tuesday night. October 9, as a result of an attack of apoplexy. Mr. Archer, who was a resident of Washington, D. C., had been in Saratoga, N. Y., since early in August and was spending a few days with relatives and friends here before returning home. He was streaked at the home of his niece, Margaret Smith Douglass, of St. Nicholas place and rushed to the hospital where he died a few hours later. The body was taken to Washington, for burial on Wednesday. New York Age tried over the our Senator George H. Moes which before a group of women which he is quoted as saying.

He mounted a car in the upper forties and hooked a foot about the trolley pole. The conductor ordered him to come down, and White flung a packet of cards in the conductor's face as he descended. Then he climbed to the top of a bus, and then took to jumping from bus to tops of automobiles, trolley cars and buses, scattering his cards among the crowds that throughed Broadway at the height of the 5:30 rush hour. At the southwest corner of the Hotel Astor, 45th street and Broadway, White found the gap too wide to jump from one car to another, so he began screening and flinging his cards into the air with both hands. Several thousand persons quickly gathered around, and then policemen surrounded the trolley, ordering White to desend. When he refused, two caps climbed to the top of the car and White, for a few minutes, put up a light. He finally slipped down to the ground and Patrolman Jess Winship took him to the West 47th street station, with White bowing and grimacing to the crowd which accompanied them. He was questioned by the police, then sent to Bellevue for observation. Thousands White and Colored, At Memorial Services For Hurricane Victims In West Palm Beach, FL Mary McLeod Bethune Visits Devastated Area For Second Time, and Cites Instances Of Unusual Examples of Self Help By Race (By Mrs. MARY McLEOD BETHUNE) West Palm Beach, Fla.—Arriving again in the section where the recent hurricane-storm left such devastation, suffering and death in its wake, I found that first aid had been successfully administered to the storm sufferers. Memorial services for the dead were held in the white and colored cemeteries of West Palm Beach at 3 o'clock Sunday September 30—the most impressive ever witnessed by the thousands of people who attended. Our hearts were torn at the sight of the one large mound containing the hundreds of bodies of men, women and children gether and permanent homes may be secured for them. A fine Negro Rehabilitation Committee has been organized and has connected itself with the general Red Cross officials to see after the needs of Negroes in their rehabilitation stage. This committee is composed of Dr. J. C. Hodge, chairman; Dr. J. Henry Terrell, treasurer; U. A. Ridley, secretary; Dr. W. H. Collie, Father Lewis Thousands At Services Those who had been spared, stood with tear-stained cheeks, wringing their hands, because many of them had lost entire families, or many, many members of their families had been taken. The sadness of this scene fell upo us like a pall. The sorrow and grief were heart-rending. Thousands of people came into West Palm Beach to pay their tribute of love and respect to the heroes who gave up their lives in the turbulent waters of the Everglades, and divided themselves to go a part of the white cemetery and a part to the colored cemetery. City officials were represented by commissioners at each cemetery. The ceremony for the Negro victims was presided over by Dr J. H. Thompson, assisted by the ministers of the county. Both white and Negro women placed wreaths of flowers upon the tombs of the unknown dead. Memorial For Unfound Thousands, whoh bodies had to be cremated where they fell, and those whose bodies have not yet been delivered from their watery graves, were tenderly and sorrowfully included in the memorial services. Such a service has never been witnessed in the State before. Many have been taken, but we are bowing in submission to the Will of our Father. Who does all things well. The spirit of self-help is evident all over the stricken areas. At Jupiter, a Mrs. Ashley, a colored school teacher who has given wonderful service to her people, gave valuable help in the recent catastrophe. The schoolhouse where she languaged was destroyed, and her own house and garden were destroyed. In this little town also, a Mr. Harvey Bocker, a truck grower, although he had his packing house swept away, and his own house moved from its pillars, housed and fed some twenty-five of his less fortunate neighbors, nine of whom were sick or injured. Distress At Kelsey City It is generally felt that the most unsatisfactory place along the line of stricken cities is Kelsay City. The survivors from the storm there were, at first, housed in box cars, but were later released to go back to their shanties at Indian Lumber Company. In most instances the "shanties" were almost demolished, and the null, having been closed and practically crushed, did not furnish them with work. Therefore, they have no funds to rebuild their houses. The water which is being used in this city is not safe; the people have been instructed to boil it, but, in many instances they have no facilities with which to do this. In Pleasant City, the people are being cared for in a school building which is in better condition than any left standing. First Relief Stage Ended The first stage of the relief work is ended. The canteens and temporary hospitals outside of the city of West Palm Beach have been closed. Hundreds of the refugees have been sent to their friends and to homes that have been provided for them over the country. Temporary hospitals and canteens have now been centered in the city of West Palm Beach and Pleasant City, in locations convenient for the people, under the supervision of a most efficient staff. Negro people are being well cared for by our physicians, nurses and welfare workers in that area. Able-bodied men are being given work, receiving from $2.50 to $3 and $4 per day, according to the work they are doing. Women and children are being fed and cared for. Within the next few days, tent colonies will be established in order that the families may be to YOUR ADVERTISEMENT Reaches The Best Class of People and Brings Best Results. 5 CENTS IN U.S.A.

This committee is composed of Dr. J. C Hodge, chairman; Dr. J. Henry Terrell, treasurer; U. A. Ridley, secretary; Dr. W. H. Collie, Father, Lewis and Dr. A. P. Holly. Satisfactory Understanding We feel that a most satisfactory understanding now exists between this committee and the National Red Cross official. No stone will be left inurnted in meeting out justice to our people in the rehabilitation of their homes. Reports which have been circulated as to discrimination in the storm area have been unfound. I have been able to find only fair play and justice and the very finest cooperative spirit being exercised in the handling of the situation up to this point. Wo are asking that all colored people-organizations, clubs, etc. shall help in this work of rehabilitation. Send in any cash contribution to Dr. J. H. Terrell, 410 North Rosemary avenue, West Palm Beach, Fla, who will in turn, turn the money over to the treasurer of the National Red Cross, to be distributed among the needy and suffering. This will give us a chance for a compliment of what the Negroes themselves are doing. We need large sums of money. Through the kindness of the general public, enough clothing has been received to meet the present need. Money for the rebuilding of the homes and schools of these poor people constitute the greatest need; time, the schools has suffered a set-back, and the children are suffering until they are reestablished. Our colored women, social workers and teachers, have organized themselves into a committee to do special welfare work among these refugees—particularly the women and children—and put on such activities as well keep them as happy as possible under the conditions, and, at the same time, strengthen them for their future lives. g Praise For Workers Too much praise cannot be given our welfare worker, Mrs. Frederick, our wonderful executive nurses, Mrs. Kitty Taylor, Mrs. R. L. Brown, Miss Caldwell, Miss Weir and others, for their heroic work. A most outstanding piece of welfare work was done by L. R. Reynolds, secretary of the Virginia, North Carolina and Florida area of the Interracial Commission. Mr. Reynolds was able to make a teaching investigation of conditions and got in close touch with the inner committees. The publication of Mr. Reynolds's survey will be very valuable information for our future use in the cooperative work of the Interracial Commission. He got right into the heart of our situation and made contacts which were impossible for me to make. We cannot lose sight of the marvelous work being done by Drs. Hodges, Vickers, Jefferson, Thompson, J. Harvey Smith, Monzon, Sawyer, Chapman and Frazer, Mr. Rudley, Dr. Collie, Dr. Terrell, and by all of the splendid undertakers in that section. They have done so much to help in the care of the sick and injured. Our club women have left no stone unturned in the securing of comfort for the suffering people. Our fraternal men and women are delitely under the load. Our business organizations are doing their best. Florida realizes that this is her burden, but she thanks Gold for the wonderful way the entire country is sharing it with her. Continue to stand close—there is much yet to be done. Your help is needed. Your prayers are needed." President, Bethune - Cookman College, Daytona Beach, Fla.

B. P. O. E. of W., the financial response from Elks and outsiders as well to their building program has been very satisfactory. Progress on the first section of the apartments, now under construction on West 138th street, has also been very satisfactory. The building is already roofed over and is expected to be ready for occupancy about the first of December, 1928. Application for apartments in this section are already being received at the headquarters 236 West 135th street Women Are Helping. The work of the women's auxiliary of Monarch Lodge, Invincible Temple, No 77, under Daughters Rosa I. Blocker and Martha Broadley, in purchasing bonds has aided materially in pushing the work forward. Elks and friends from outside of New York have evinced much interest in the building program of Monarch Lodge, which involves an expenditure of about one million dollars. Some have already purchased bonds and others have expressed their intention of doing so. During the recent session of the National Negro Business League here, Dr. Robert R. Moton, head of the League and principal of Tuskegee Institute, was so impressed with the work Monarch Lodge has projected, he too became a bondholder. The naming of Alderman Moore as custodian of funds, and the assurance that the property would be conservatively managed, resulted in several other members of the executive board of the National Negro Business League subscribing for the bonuses. The project is being financed by a first mortgage by one of New York's largest firms of investment brokers and by the sale of the coupon bonds by the building committee itself. These bonuses are equivalent to a second mortgage on the properly and will bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. They are being sold in denominations of $25, $50 and $100 and may be purchased on the installment plan.

NEGRO EXHIBITS ARE FEATURE AT SOUTHERN FAIR Atlanta University Wins Blue Ribbon With Exhibit of Books Atlanta, Ga.—The thousands of exhibits at the Southeastern Fair, closing October 7, in Atlanta, Ga., has brought a revelation to many of the white citizens who have not taken time to observe, in all cases, what their Negro neighbors are doing in the higher things and even in the common things of He. The lower story of the large agricultural building was given entirely to Negro products of brain and brawn. Every inch of the space was taken and much more space could have been used. There were exhibited improved varieties of cotton that will resist good weevil, corn that looked as if it came from the finest fields of the West, improved varieties of peanuts, cane, tobacco and fruits. There were excellent specimens of preserved fruits and vegetables without end. The thing that opened the eyes of the natives the widest was the educational exhibit. It is nothing short of marvelous what the rural and town schools are doing under their limited resources. There were crocheted bedspreads of artistic designs that would bring more than $100 each if placed on sale, besides, other artistic pieces, of hand work. The colleges were represented by an impressive exhibition of what they are doing and of what their graduates have accomplished. Atlanta University won the blue ribbon and the first prize, causing great wonder in all of the white spectators by its exhibition of a case full of books written by its graduates and students on history, fiction, poetry, biography, drama and other fields. Urban League Conference The National Urban League announces that its next annual conference is to be held in Louisville, Ky., with the Louisville Urban League as host, April 9-12, 1929. This conference brings together leading social workers and members of boards and staff of the national and forty-two local Urban Leagues to study the problems of Negroes in cities, to check up on research and investigations for the past year, and to institute or strengthen programs of improvement. This is the eighteenth year of the Urban League's national activities.

Red Cross Officials Deny Charges Made By Cyril Briggs' Committee Of Florida Relief Discrimination Secretary Redman Submits Telegrams From Two Race Workers In Florida Storm Area Saying Conditions Entirely Satisfactory The editor of The Age is in receipt of a letter from Edward B Redman, executive secretary of the New York County Chapter of the American Red Cross, referring to statements attributed to the Negro Workers Relief Committee of 461 Lenox avenue, Cyril V. Briggs, chairman, alleging discrimination by the Red Cross in its administering of relief to sufferers from the recent Florida hurricanes. Mr. Redman states, that he had taken the matter up with Red Cross Disaster Relief Director Schafer in Florida, and that Mr. Schafer had sent the following telegram in reply: "Re Negro situation Dr. J. C. Hodges, chairman advisory committee, whose medical probation university as Gill and Shaw Universities, and leader among his people here, who has been working throughout this district, since the storm, gives us signed statement as follows: Dr. Hodges' Telegram. "I visited the canteen kitchen at the Public Industrial School, colored, and I am satisfied to say that I have no fault to find as to conditions regarding my people. Everything is made as sanitary as possible under circumstances, and that the food supply and the quality of food and sanitary conditions in the kitchen are just what anybody would wish in a canteen conducted for refugees in a hurricane or any group work. For the past two weeks I have worked in and around the canteens and stations and have found everything satisfactory, with no discrimination against my people so far." Another From Nrs.

This battle, as the candidate explained, was against Hoke Smith. Senator some years ago from Georgia, whom Negroes regarded as one of their ail enemies in the senate Smith at the time was engaged in opposition to an appropriation for the erection of Dunbar colored high school in Washington. The contest between the two Senators was waged for three days and Senator Curtis finally won a compromise victory by yielding to vote for an appropriation which Smith was seeking for a white high school on condition that the Georgia Senator would yield in behalf of Dunbar. Senator Curtis said further, "I have always believed in the possibilities of the colored people as a race. I have been aware of their problems and have sympathized with them in their trials. I have been proud to recognize their contribution to America's progress and to use my efforts to see that they got a square deal." women from Tampa. We arrived in West Palm Beach Sunday, October 7, and visited the families living in tents. The sanitary conditions are all that we desire. Food is very good and kitchens are being cared for better than under some normal conditions. The colored people are properly housed and clothed. I consider they are cared for handsomely and am suggesting that colored people conquerate through the Red Cross and through this medium only. Briggs Makes Statement. Mr. Brigggs, one time editor of the Crusader Magazine (now defunct), who has started a weekly Socialistic newspaper in Harlem called "The Negro Champion," was shown the letter from Mr. Redman, denying that there was discrimination in the relief work for Florida flood sufferers. Mr. Brigggs declared that his organization, the Negro Workers Relief Committee, had a representative in the flood area of Florida and from information they had received from this agent, there has been discrimination. He stated that he had been informed that Negro refugees were herded into tents like cattle and that the Negroes were forced to do the laborious work of rehabilitation with the white refugees as their overseers. His organization expected a detailed statement from their representative within a few days and this statement would be presented to Mr. Redman, he concluded.

Lanier, who is twenty years old, stowed away on the City of New York for three days without food in his anxiety to be the first Negro to reach the South Pole; and when he was dftcovered on the eve of sailing, Commander Byrd was so impressed by his character and bearing that Lanier was permitted to sign on as mess boy. On reaching New York on Sunday, Lanner complained that he had been treated unfairly and would probably appeal to Governor A. Harry Moore. He declared that he had been regularly signed on the ship at a wage of one cent per month, that his name was still on the rolls and that he is still legally a member of the expedition.

C.—The sixty-first year of instruction at Howard University was begun with orientation of freshmen on October 1, followed by registration in the several departments and the formal opening exercises in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. In his address to the freshmen, President Johnson extended welcome on behalf of the University and invited the students to value their opportunities, realizing that they are the favored few desiring such educational facilities as Howard affords. provided a colorful setting for the ment and a large representation of occasion. President Johnson spoke on "Liberty as a New Feature in the Educational Process." He stated, "Never have we been encouraged more at the sight of a student body than He also urged the students, to realize that the training which they will receive will never be paid for in dollars and cents, and even in the matter of money would cost very much more than the fees the students would be required to pay. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, made a brief talk on the financial obligations of the students to the university and the rules of the office of the secretary-treasurer. F. D Wilkinson, registrar, instructed the new students concerning registration Following Mr. Wilkinson, the several deans were introduced to the student body. Following the chapel exercises exercises the young women were assembled in Library Hall where they listened to an address by the dean of women. Miss Lucy D. Slowe The young women were given a similar address by Dean Wm B West Registration. It is reported by Registrar Wilkinson that from the number of permits to register, the enrollment at Howard University for the present year will exceed all former records. The total for 1927-28 was 1,787 students. Indications are that for 1928-29, there will be approximately two thousand students in the college department. Mr. Wilkinson stated that never before has there been such a large number of students transferring from other institutions to Howard with advanced standing. A large number of students who have not attended Howard for one or two years will return. Up to the morning of October 6, 1991 students had registered The Professional Schools. The registration of new students in the professional school has also given promise of a banner-year. In the Medical School, out of more than 300 applications, a class of only 60 could be admitted. Of the applicants 126 met all of the requirements for admission. These were arranged in order of rank, with the first 60 receiving preference. Of the students admitted 58 per cent have received their college degrees. The Law School is gratified in the enrollment of twelve students with a two-year college requisite for day school and with eight for the evening school. While the registration in the School of Religion is small the academic preparation of the new students is unusually high. Of the entering class 70 per cent have college degrees. Formal Opening. The formal opening exercises of the School of Religion was held in the assembly room of that department Monday October 8, at 2 p.m. Rev. Sterling N. Brown delivered the opening address The formal opening of the University was held on Thursday, October 4 in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel The choir in full vest the faculty in academic costume A Dangerous Condition "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Miles Hopkins of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas paina. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull. so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poleson. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I began to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O.K. again. Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT for Constipation. Indigestion. Biliruria. provided a colorful setting for the ment and a large representation of occasion. President Johnson spoke on "Liberty as a New Feature in the Educational Process." He stated, "Never have we been encouraged more at the sight of a student body than we are at the present time. You, who have been selected with great care, represent the best of our human material. You have come into a community in which there are the highest intellectual and spiritual aspirations, where the physical is reduced to that minimum necessary to health and comfort. Richies are not valued here and poverty is not despised. "In this community you are to enjoy liberty—liberty to choose what work you will do, to choose your leisure, and to regulate your own individual conduct. This has not always been true in educational institutions. Formerly, required courses, regulated leisure, and a code of rules governing conduct, greatly restricted the liberties of the student body. "While liberty offers great opportunities it is also fraught with dangers. Many men have attained the heights of great value through liberty, others have been lost in its complexities. Liberty is no sure way to success, to some men it is a road to death. That liberty under law will lead somewhere is the belief of modern educators. In closing, President Johnson urged the students to be obedient to the laws and standards of competency in the fields of their choice, that success is not a question of what you think of these laws but of your obedience to them. Following the address of President Johnson, Miss Ruby Harris, new instructor in the School of Music, rendered "Nobody Knows the Troubles I See" as a violin solo. After conducting an evening law school for fifty-eight years, a day school course in law has been established. The afternoon and evening courses will be continued, but have been reorganized on a four-year basis, instead of three years. The new school, while offering courses leading to the degree of bachelor of law in three years, will require full time of students and more intensive study. Howard was the first law school in the District of Columbia to require two full years of college work of its applicant Faculty Changes. Atty James C. Waters, Jr. has been made fulltime professor of law; Charles H. Hqston is no a year's leave of absence; William H. Richards, after thirty-eight years, has been retired, Andrew D.

COLGATE ALLOWS VANDERBILT TO DRAW COLOR LINE Submits To Southerners And Keeps Negro Star Out of Lineup The best player on the Colgate University football team is a Negro, Vaughn, whose work during the past season brought the ranking of his team up to a position of major importance. But despite Vaughn's worth to his team, the athletic authorities signed an agreement to play Vanderbilt University in Nashville last week, with the express understanding that Colgate would respect "southern tradition" by keeping Vaughn out of the game. Vanderbilt won the game. As a result the student body at Colgate and many friends are criticising the athletic authorities' treatment of the colored star; and at the same time they are urging that Vaughn retaliate by refusing to play with the team this season. FLIT Kills Flies Mosquitoes Other Household Insects --- SPLITTING POLITICAL BLOCS. The present political campaign has brought about more attempts to split political blocs than any previous contest of late years. In the West we have the Democrats attempting to split the solid Republican vote of the farmers because of the veto of the Farm Relief bill by President Coolidge. In the South the elements of prohibition and religious intolerance have stirred up so much opposition to the Democratic standard bearer, as to insert the thin edge of a wedge into the hitherto solid electoral vote of that section. In other parts of the country there have been indications that the Negro vote is dividing, with a considerable sentiment showing in favor of Governor mechanical and manufacturing pursuits, from 631,280 in 1920, an increase of over quarter of a million. A large number of plants have increased the number of their Negro workers from one hundred per cent to five hundred per cent. There are plants whose colored workers number more than fifty per cent of the total number of employees. Many of these are doing skilled labor that have brought about increased consideration for this group of workers. A recent visit made to Lackawanna, by the editor of The Age, furnished a striking example of the penetration of the Negro into the steel industry, which is repre- "I wish respectfully to inquire of the War Department if there is any ruling which would thus debar a Negro from securing an air pilot's license, especially when that Negro is an American citizen and is serving a friendly mission so largely influenced by the United States Government and populated by American Negroes.

Just prior to the Republican candidate's invasion of Tennessee, where he addressed the whole South in favor of Republican policies, thirty editors of foreign language newspapers called upon Mr. Hoover. These callers represented, newspapers which circulate among fourteen different nationalities. After thanking his callers for their interest expressed in his campaign, Mr. Hoover declared that the problems arising therein were of equal importance to all nationalities, regardless of race or creed. He further declared that there is no distinction between races in this national debate. He regarded the voters as constituting a political unit equally interested in the questions at issue. He was quoted as follows: "These campaigns resolve themselves into national debates, and as a result of the great interest which they arouse give all sides an opportunity to spread information on important questions." "There is no distinction between races in this national debate. It is a discussion entwined with the issues of race-agreed. We do not want international disputes in America. There have been too many of them here in the past." Later on, in his address at Elizabethton, Tenn., Mr. Hoover directed his speech to the whole South, showing how the carrying out of Republican policies was essential to the prosperity of that section, as to the rest of the country. Nor was his exposition confined to the wholly materialistic view of the situation. Moral issues were expounded as well, and the increase in crime charged to the war was not omitted. He said that technicalities of court procedure have been used to defeat justice and aid law violators. He proclaimed the purpose of the Eighteenth amendment is to protect the American home and declared his purpose to secure its honest enforcement and to eliminate the abuses which have grown around it. According to one interpretation of Mr. Hoover's address, his desire to see the Eighteenth amendment honestly enforced was set forth in the demand for swifer justice, which was taken to apply not only to prohibition violations, but to general crimes of violence, including lynchings. At all events, Mr. Hoover set forth the moral duties of the President in administering the government in no uncertain vein. He declared that as the President of the whole people, he must interpret the conscience of America and guide his conduct by the idealism of our people. Insisting that the Presidency is no dictatorship ar1 that the government rests solely upon the will of the people, he was convinced that more of the problem of progress can be accomplished by voluntary action of the people, assisted by the cooperation of the government, than has been supposed. This candid and convincing statement of the philosophy of government by the candidate for the chief office in the gift of the people was delivered before an audience of fifty thousand people, gathered in the shadows of the Great Smoky Mountains, and coming from the states of Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia. It was the first time that a Republican candidate for the Presidency had invaded this territory, which is a part of the New South and Republican in politics, as evidenced by the fact that a former Governor of Tennessee introduced Mr. Hoover. The salient beliefs set forth by the candidate in these two addresses are significant. One is that all races are included in his conception of the citizenship of this country. The other is that the voluntary action of the people, or a majority of them, is necessary to accomplish any great reform. The latter statement does not mean that a minority should rest supinely under injustice, but rather agitate until the majority is brought over to the side of right. Both of these articles of belief constitute additional reasons why Mr. Hoover should be supported for the Presidency. SPLITTING POLITICAL BLOCS. The present political campaign has brought about more attempts to split political blocs, than any previous contest of late years. In the West we have the Democrats attempting to split the solid Republican vote of the farmers because of the veto of the Farm Relief bill by President Coolidge. In the South the elements of prohibition and religious, intolerance have stirred up, so much opposition to the Democratic standard bearer, as to insert the thin edge of a wedge into the hitherto solid electoral vote of that section. In other parts of the country there have been indications that the Negro vote is dividing, with a considerable sentiment showing in favor of Governor Smith. 'This movement...of the colored' vote from its moorings is new only in the fact that it has become apparent in a national campaign. Hitherto, such defections from the Republican party have been confined to state and municipal campaigns or directed against candidates for Congress who have opposed anti-lynching legislation, or other bills favored by the race. The reasons for any, support of Governor Smith are hard to make out, unless they are based upon his opposition to prohibition. And yet the power of the President to modify the Prohibition laws is limited. As Governor of New York Smith has done little to encourage the support of the race, his action in vetoing the bill for a new municipal court in Harlem being a blow to their ambition to elect a colored judge. But the greatest opposition to a division of the Negro vcc in the North is found in the attitude of the reactionary Democrats of the South, who have adopted the slogan of White Supremacy, in order to whip into line those whites who have refused to swallow Smith's candidacy. The Atlanta Constitution, edited by Clark Howell, was the first important daily newspaper to adopt this vicious policy of preaching racial intolerance as an argument to support Smith and prevent white Democrats from voting for Hoover. The latest development of this black bogey was reported in the organization of a Women's League for White Supremacy in Alabama. Under date of September 30, the president of this new organization issued blanks to be signed by applicants for membership, containing the following declarations of belief: "I believe white people of Alabama should make the laws for the people of Alabama." "I am opposed to white children and Negro children attending the same schools." "I am opposed to whites and Negroes being forced together on street care." "I am for the Democratic party and all its nominates for the reasons that these principles and laws have been made and upheld by the democrats since the war between the states." This reminds us of the poem of "The Ancient Mariner," in which the sailor who killed the albatross was condemned to carry the body of his victim bound to his back, in order to expiate his failure to show humanity to dumb creatures. So the Solid South when it would break away from its old sins, must carry with it the corpse of the black hogey that it has done to death in so many previous political campaigns. This is the reason why it is so hard to split the Negro vote in a national campaign. Despite dissatisfaction with the Coolidge administration and a feeling of popular approval for Smith as a man, most Negroes will find it hard to vote the Democratic presidential ticket. The presence in the second place on the ticket of Senator Robinson, an Arkansas Negro later, does not dissipate this feeling. Splitting political blocs is no easy business, especially when there is such a counteracting force to the operation, as is presented in the attitude of the Old South toward the Negro voter. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE URBAN LEAGUE. A recent report made by Ti Arnold Hill, director of plan and work of the industrial department of the National Urban League, called attention to the discrimination practiced by labor unions in keeping Negroes out of employment as plumbers, boilermakers and other skilled trades. Even when such exclusion is not dictated by the constitutions of these unions, colored workers are kept out as members and deprived of employment, prejudice and habit both enter into this discrimination in the trades. It has been assumed as a matter of tradition that Negroes are fitted for only certain types of employment, and that tradition must be unset in order to find new occupations. This has been successfully done in many instances in the North, where the restriction of foreign immigration has created a demand for more laborers than the current supply could fill and thus made places for the Negro newcomers from the South. The opportunity to work in the North, according to Mr. Hill, has resulted in the increase of colored workers in mechanical and manufacturing pursuits from 631,280 in 1920; an increase of over quarter of a million. A large number of plants have increased the number of their Negro workers from one hundred per cent to five hundred per cent. There are plants whose colored workers number more than fifty per cent of the total number of employees. Many of these are doing skilled labor that have brought about increased consideration for this group of workers. A recent visit made to Lackawanna, by the editor of The Age, furnished a striking example of the penetration of the Negro into the steel industry, which is represented by a plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company at that place. About two thousand Negroes are employed in this plant, together with an equal number of whites, mostly Polacks and other foreigners. All these different race varieties live together side by side and work in perfect harmony. There is a great opportunity for the Urban League to aid these workers, as they need enlightenment and advice in the development of the economic situation confronting them. They earn good money but need to be taught the lessons of thrift and economy in the use of it. There is also room for improvement in their homes and in the providing of better living conditions. Mrs. Allie Ashburn, a worthy woman of the community, is an active force in welfare work, and has opened a playground for the children, with the idea of a community center to be established in the future. Kitz Miller is a leader among the men and could be a force for good with proper encouragement and direction Here is an opportunity for the Urban League to establish a local organization that will find a ready field for its activities. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE NEGRO Monroe N. Work, the author of the Negro Year Book, a very useful and valuable publication which he began to issue in 1912, has compiled a most important publication in "A Bibliography, of the Negro, Race in Africa and America." This stupendous work contains an exhaustive list of literary material on the race, including magazine articles as well as books and is printed in clear and distinctive type by the publishers, the H. W. Walson Company of New York. The purpose of this bibliography, as told in an introduction by Anson Phelps Stokes, "is to furnish an accurate and comprehensive handbook of the titles and authors of valuable books, pamphlets and articles from periodicals on the Negro in Africa and America. * * * The author has not tried to include all known printed works on the subjects named. Indeed, he has eliminated more titles than he has included, so that the book is a select-reference bibliography on the Negro with more than 17,000 entries covering the most worth-while publications in different languages issued before 1928." Its publication was made possible by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation to the department of record and research of Tuskegee Institute in 1921. Mr. Work went to Europe in the course of his researches and visited the great libraries of England and the Continent in quest of material. In a review of his work Miss Mary W. Ovington said: He has given us a reference book that will be known throughout the world. The book is clearly arranged, easy to find one way in. There, a table of contents and an index of authors. The table is as an armoury the book is itself an index and it is a simple matter to find material on whatever subject one may want. For instance, suppose one wishes to know what has been printed on Negro folk songs. Under the Negro in the United States is the Ubheading Z2 Folk Music in the United States age 33,43,urnature for pages 434, we find four pages of titles of collections of Negro folk songs. Many of the references are to magazine articles. Some are volumes, as H. T. Burleigh, Natalie Curtis Burlins, W. C. Handy's. Then come three more pages of discussion of Negro Folk Songs. It makes one greedy to find a library and wade deep into the material. How busy one could keep the reference librarian. The value of a work of this kind to students and writers as manifest. Mr. Work appears to have accomplished a great task in a most acceptable manner, which was, what would be expected of the author of the Negro Year Book. AN EMBARASSING QUESTION. A few weeks ago a news dispatch from Monrovia, Liberia, published in a New York daily, stated, that an American Negro, military instructor to the Liberian Frontier Force, had been unable to qualify for an air pilot's license in the United States because he was Negro. He therefore announced his intention of entering the School of Aviation in Berlin, Germany, to qualify for such license. This news moved Walter White, assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to make the following inquiry in a letter addressed to Dwight F. Davis, Secretary of War: ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS "I wish respectfully to inquire of the War Department if there is any ruling which would thus debar a Negro from securing an air pilot's license, especially when that Negro is an American citizen and is serving a friendly motion so largely influenced by the United States Government and populated by American Negroes. "I think you will agree with us, if this despatch is correct, that it is an exceedingly ironical situation where a citizen of the United States is debarred by, his own government on apparently no other grounds except, that of color, from perfecting himself in his chosen field, and is forced, by race prejudice, to secure his training in a country which Predicting that a hard contest is ahead for Republicans in Massachusetts and that a practical campaign is needed, the Boston Chronicle said: The strength of their rivals is not visionary; its overtures to the colored voters is pointing to men and measures and keeping in the background discrimination, in the South. It is stressing the segregation in Washington, and promising that it can undo what was done by a former Democratic Administration. While this is species, it is attractive to many Negroes; several however see the shining hook concealed in the bait and are keeping away. Far the rank and file of the colored voters have not heard from the candidates nominated by the Republicans. When this has been done and an estimate, has been placed on the men and their measures then the people will act. Less of the howling about freedom and more about the practicalities of life now will wean the colored voters from other parties. Denouncing a species of jimersonism that has become manifest in Baltimore department stores, the Baltimore Alro-American said. Little matter that these stores grew to affluence upon the Negro trade they now turn away. We do not emphasize that, we rather point to the patently organized effort among Baltimore's larger department stores not to serve colored folks except in the basement or at the notion counter. Your trade in gloves, hats, coats, dresses and shoes is not wanted. Should you worry, well let's see. These same store people got together years ago and agreed not to employ Negroes except as porters, or maids or elevator men. They having for many years fixed a policy which has restricted you in earning a dollar, these store owners have now come to the point of keeping you from spending a dollar. They're adding a kick in the pants to a slap in the face. We should worry We dress to well. We can get along just as well in homes made at home, or sold in smaller stores which want your hagagement. Baltimore Department store's policy will aid the mail order business, it will help better stores of New York and Philadelphia, it will help Baltimore Negroes put money in the bank. Above all the Baltimore paper urges an organized effort to fight back against the owners of these stores by refusing to work for or deal with them or their relatives. This law of retaliation is to be aided by prayer. Contrasting British and French methods in Africa, the Gold Coast Times of Cape Coast said: A close study of British and French methods of colonial administration cannot but leave the impression on one's mind that the French policy would in course of time tend to increase their influence on Africans while, unless something happens in the interval to alter the attitude of the British, their influence will tend to decrease with the growing awakening of the natives all over the Continent. Whatever their shortcomings the French have no colour prejudice, and this absence of racial antipathy on their part enables them to approach native problems with the judicious temperament which the British cannot claim. The British and the French have imposed upon themselves the task of trusteeship, a form of parental guardianship over native Nowa guardians to have a deep interest in a ward against whom he has a prejudice whom he is in the position of guardians who have an inborn anti-pathy against those whom they have induced under their control; while the French on the other hand, have no such prejudice and insist on treating their Empire as members of the same family and on bestowing their parental affections equally upon his nieces. This is a severe indictment of the shortages of . . . British colonial not many years ago was opposed at arms by both the United States and Liberia in a struggle presumed to be for democracy." The irony of this situation which is stressed by Mr. White, and which will be appreciated by those identified with the race thus discriminated against, will probably not be apparent to the Honorable Secretary of War, who is no doubt familiar with the same kind of discrimination practised at the National Military Academy and in the National Reserve Training Corps. The traditional sense of American humor fails to function when opposed by the deadly virus of race and color prejudice. policy, but the Cape Coast editor backs it up by reference to improvements made in the economic condition of the natives under a French colonial administrator in French Guinea. The Cleveland Gazette published a letter from Ambassador Herrick to ex-State Senator John P. Green of Ohio, in acknowledgment of some poems written by the latter and a letter of greeting. Mr. Herrick said in part: I think the first case I ever tried, in a justice court, was before you; and I have a recollection then of my first meeting with you. I was presented by Mr. Albert Weed, my friend and room-mate, and from that time I believe we have been very warm friends and I am sure, this will continue in the end. You say that you are 84. Well, that is about ten years more than my own age. However, I see no reason why you should not go on up to par and pass par. "John Bigelow, former minister to Irace, visited me in his 84th year and he said that the happiest and more useful period in his life has heen from 74 to 84 and then quoted this delightful little couplet, from Waller, which I have always remembered: "The soul's dark cottage, battered and decayed. Lets in the light through the chinks that time has made." Bigelow continued in his usefulness and delight to his friends until his 94th year. Senator Green is still active in politics, having opened a speaking campaign for Hoover and Curtis in Chicago by a speech in Wendell Phillips school hall on September 20. While admitting that the boldness and fearlessness of Governor Smith challenge admiration, as exhibited in his speech at Oklahoma City where he denounced bigotry and the Ku Klux Klan, the State of Zion advises its readers to vote for Hoover to avoid the return of the saloon. It said: "There is little to choose between the two parties except upon the question of prohibition, and upon that question there is but one side for the church and its leaders to take, that is the side of homes, temperature and sobriety." Disfranchisement, segregation, negation of civil and political rights is good Democratic doctrine in the Bible Belt, which is sustained by Republican commuance and assent. Thousands of Negroes where votes are counted have determined to help wreck the party which has so ruthlessly betrayed and deserted them. Now it is to reproach them for this feeling. It is to reproach and threaten thing to do. But in this moral crisis their resentment should be restrained until the nuance of rum has been removed. A vote for However will be a vote for the preservation of the home, society and the continued prosperity of the country. What we need most is bread," not beer. That is a pretty broad-gauged argument to proceed from the editor of the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church Directing attention to the animal meeting of the National Negro Bankers Association, held at Louisville, Ky., the Chicago Bee said. The greatest weakness of the Negro race today is its lack of thrift, is in lack of the unification of its finances. A group without great money power will always prove fiercer and be more beast, will always be the underdog in the economic struggle. This is the age of big business, big energies, stupendous undertakings in the commercial world. With most of our business enterprises just emerging from their swaddling to reservation and against home established and expended competition; with the enterprising home-owners and home-builders being imperiled by lack of capital, impossibility of securing or renewing loans; with millions of dollars being frittered away, annually in postmasters and pleasures; with industrial and economue barriers being tested in all parts of the country, with the facts of his forced isolation from Saturday, October 13, 1928 Our Foreign-Born Voters Editor of The New York Age; Permit me to congratulate you on the excellent editorial which appeared in your last week's issue, entitled, "Our-Foreign Born Voters." I am of opinion that there is need for a deal of information regarding the reaction to waken the foreign-born residents to a sense of their duty, not only to themselves but to the community. You who now occupy the proud position of representative of these people in this district will be doing incalculable service if you bring, home to them the many advantages accruing from citizenship. The suspicion that foreigners were not wanted to interfere in the poli- tics of the community is being slowly dispissated, and when every one of us is involved in the hand to those who are reminis in their evident duty, one who is working toward the same goal, though in another direction, feels considerably assisted. There is one further suggestion that I would offer. It is that workers in this district, regardless of party affiliation should join in an effort to one to go and register, no matter with which party he may be identified. Some nights ago while leaving a building, I heard a house holder, in reply to an inquiry from a political worker, state that she did not intend to -register this time. That worker seemed to have been satisfied with that reply and said, nothing further. I believe that such an individual should be reported to some person in position per personate her to judge for mind. I do not think that the reason why so many refrain from becoming citizen is love for King George, the President of France, or any other foreign potentate. It lies deeper. It is based on the same factors more or less which cause the southern citizen of color, now living in the North, to keep away from the polls. The psychology is one of inertia, that love of the Negro to have some one do for him what he should do. The fact that he easily be seen is due to the common heritage of slavery and the paternalism of those colonial governments in the West Indies. With work such as you are doing, along business, political and general educational lines, I feel certain that are long, you will see the fruit of your ideas, in a strong action, in a community feeling regardless of origin. Some more articles along the lines of the one under consideration, would have the effect of causing many more of the listless members of our race to wake up and do their duty. CHAS. A PETITION. M. D. Chairman West India Committee of America. What The South Wants Editor of The New York Age: "As a member of my race and as a citizen of the United States of America, and having been born in the South, cannot see how any citizen of the United States of America, or what not, can vote the National Democrat ticket who has any love for his disfranchised and segregated race in the South. Upliftation by Mr. A. E. Smith of the South, or that Democrat Rights" is just what the "South wants, and by that doctrine every colored man in the South will still be not regarded as a citizen but as slave. The South regards this nation as a white man's country and the South will dominate the government when the Democrats are in power. For Negroes who claim, or want to be leaders of the race, to work against their race by voting the Democratic ticket, they lose the respect of race loving citizens the world over. L A McMULLEN Vocational Guidance Bureau At Jr. High 139 Editor of The New York Age: With the beginning of the fall term, there was added to the many popular activities at Junior High School 139, Manhattan, a department of Vocational Guidance under the direction of Vinetta J. Thompson. It is the purpose of the Bureau to provide a friendly atmosphere for the law so that he may feel free to discuss his present day problems or his plans for the future with the vocational counselor in order, that adjustments may be other groups and the realization that he must work out his own problems and overcome and conquer his hazards himself; the Negro needs a strong, trained arm at the wheel to pilot him safely into the port of his dreams. Our bankers are not dreamed but trained masters of finance. They have vision, keen and calculating, they have knowledge and they have power. They have studiously thought out and developed methods that mean financial independence and consequent respect, glory and power for the race. They are trying to solve a problem that is of the greatest importance to the race—and its gravest. Their reports—seven Negro banks with resources of over $40,000,000—should insure confidence in their business acumen and gain and hold for them the place of foremost leadership in things pertaining to our substantial progress, our security, our growth and sound footings economically. In conclusion in the Chicago editor maintained that "the mission of Negro banks is as important, as constructive as the church or school" Why not? --- made for greater, happiness and success in his school life. Thus it is hoped to 'discourage the boy's leaving school at an early age. The Vocational Guidance Bureau seeks to discover aptitudes, to give educational 'information' which will enable the pupil to pursue the proper course without loss of time, and so give vocational information to acquaint the student body with changing industrial conditions and opportunities. It is making an effort to direct the child in his use of present time and in the development of proper skills. Then, it is the aim of the department to make surveys in the community which will help to reveal changing attitudes toward education and industry. Dr. Ross, the principal is happy to make any changes which will make the boy's school life more enjoyable. The Junior High School is a complex organization, therefore all cases must be carefully studied before adjustments are made. For this purpose a printed "case study" form is used which includes the I, Q, the aptitudes, the choice of academic other necessary data. This information is gathered in a cordial interview with the client and a talk with the class teacher. No change is made without a letter from the parent indicating his approval. Some cases lend themselves easily to adjustment. John Jones, 78 came to the office last week asking for working papers. He was very sure of getting a job in a certain company. He was compelled to leave school to support himself he promptly answered to the contrary. He was simply tired of school. After talking for a while he showed that he was mechanical ability. He enjoys fixing radios and intends becoming an automobile mechanic. The counselor advised him to go to the building for the year, which time he will be eligible to enter Trade School and there learn the trade which he desires to follow. John was delighted with the suggestion. The adjustment was promptly arranged by Mr Perlman, assistant to the principal, and the boy has decided to stay in school. Many cases of the adjustment of the Bureau. A slight change of program, therefore, may decide a boy's future. Many boys are not familiar with the diversity of courses given in invarious institutions of higher education in this city. This information can readily be given in the private interview. However, there is less interest in the educational information. Here the Vocational Guidance-Bureau hopes to enlist the aid of welfare and industrial organizations for the purpose of getting speakers who are familiar with opportunities and community problems to address student assemblies. The New York Urban College and the New York Collegios Association have already offered their cooperation. With conditions changing everywhere, with new opportunities presenting themselves in industry and a greater thirst for knowledge be it expected that new opinions and attitudes have gripped the smaller groups of communities. Consequently, the Vocational Guidance Bureau of Junior High School 139 Manhattan, assists its part of its work to make a survey which will indicate the thought and help work out a better program for the boys who are later to become the men of that community VINETTA JETER THOMPSON Dr. Jacob M.

Church Wegel is inadequate to express the experience of those who attended Emanuel Sunday, October 7th. In the morning, as the pastor spoke upon "The Love of God", he seemed to send out a consuming flame of spirit which misused no one of the crowded congregation. This evidence of fire from above continued into the missionary meeting, held at 4:30. Then at the 8 o'clock service again spirit rises. At this service the Rev. Dr. Goy, president of Wilberforce Institute, South Africa, assisted using for his subject, the timelessness of God. Communion was served morning and evening. Seven persons joined the church and one person was converted. Total collection for the day was 5187.63. Surely Emanuel is being led by a man sent from God, and we are marching to victory. Next Sunday, October 14, the Forum will hold its regular meeting at 4 o'clock. There will be interesting discussions abla a splendid program. All are welcome. Mt. Olivet Bantist Church There was a large attendance at the morning service at Mount Olive Baptist Church, Sunday, October 7. There was a solo excellently rendered by Tillman Forlace. The sermon was preached by Rev. T. Iaves, Nastorius H. Hecked and his text was Nastorius 1333. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Snake, which come of the giants. And we were in our own, sight and grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. The theme of this discourse was "The Evil Report of the Spies." It was emphasized that there were many spies, but only two of them had great faith in God and brought back a good report. The sermon was powerful, and generating love.

Sandlerlin from PETTSTURBURG, Va., preaches the message of John 12:21, we selected he would see Jesus." The theme of his discourse was that, Jesus should be sought on the knees when things go wrong and have a little Him. He might live the Christian lives so the people the world would realize the fact that we have learned of Him and kng wHim as our personal Saviour. The whole discourse was searching and instructive and was fraught with no hope. The collection for the "day amounted to $1,452.07. Refuge Church of Christ Bishop R. C.

Cairner, preached a most excellent sermon filled with lessons on the Great understanding of God. He took his text from 1st Christians 1533, "Christ died for our sins."

Tuesday was "Mount Olivet Baptist Church Night," when Dr. W. P. Hayes, his chair, officers and people were present, and gave a very splendid service. The sermon and the singing were superb. We thank Dr. Hayes and his people. Wednesday night was "Metropolitan Baptist Church," and W. W. A. Brown, pastor and assistant, were present, with their chair, chorus and officers. Dr. W. W. Brown, preached the sermon, and of course, the world knows there is only one W. W. Brown, and he is a master in the pulpit. "His great sermon was the one that inspired the choir and chorus, of sixty voices, under Prof. DeHolland, rendered good service." Thursday, night Dr. F. A. Gillen was on to preach, but, for some reason, despite notice to him of this more than a week before the time, he did not let us use the phone until called over the phone the very day when he was to come. However, though th program was upset, the pastor, Rev. H. Arthur Booker preached a sermon, which, seemingly was very much enjoyed. His Inseparable Love of Christ." Friday night—"Shiloh Baptist Church's Night," Dr. E. W. Wainwright, with his choir, officers and congregation were with us. He preached a great sermon, and congregation was music. A singular coincidence was the mention by the pastor, Dr. Wainwright, of the fact that the junior choir of his church wanted very much to come out, but were told the senior choir was to have precedence. The Booker had arranged with Dr. Wainwright, and a date fixed for this junior choir to be present, and sing in St. Paul. The 23rd of the month will see them with us. In the midst of the joys, there always comes sorrow. During the past week two of the older members of the choir, their days of health, best great workers, were called to their reward. Sister Jennie Smallwood, who had been an invalid for more than eight years, passed away on Wednesday, and Sister Lucy Robinson, whose health was in good condition, had her clothing take fire by accident, from the effects of which she died on Thursday. The funeral of Sister Robinson was held from her late home, 328 West 37th street, Saturday at 8 a.m., the master, Mrs. Robinson, a neighbor and friend of the family for years. Sister Smallwood's funeral took place from the Church at 1 p. m. Sunday, with the pastor officiating. The lodges of which she was a member were out, but, owing to the limit of room, the cloister of the house who had the funeral in charge, only resolutions were read; Dr. P. H. Lee with his officers, choir and people were on hand before the pastor returned, for the afternoon service. Mrs. H. Lee, and Dr. Lee preached a very helpful sermon His officers lifted the offering. In the evening, as at the morning service, the choir of St. Paul and the pastor of the morning, however, was the presentation of the accessories for the pulpit by Mrs. Mabel M. Greer, a lady who, out of her interest in the Church, brought her guest to the pulpit, coverings for the reading desk and table, and vase for teh pastor's desk in the study of the Church Mrs. Greer was escorted to the pastor's desk, and received the thanks of the Church, she in a gracious way accepted them. Bendali Memorial Church Sunday, October 7, marked the opening of our fall and winter work The pastor, Dr. Thomas J. B. Harris conducted the services throughout the entire day, the minister a thought "The New Program of The Church. He emphasized that"Social service is the call of the time. The pastor pointed out in his evening discourse how God's love for man does not prevent Him seeing and disapproving the evil man. The infant daughter of Mr. and Miss. DesVerney, 225 West 140th street, received Christian baptism, Rendall church selected her place in the church Council which meets at Saint James Church; October 11-14. Paradise Baptist Church The morning hour of worship was conducted by Rev. Pastrus. His discourse was taken from St. Luke, ninth chapter, "If any will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." These were the words of the master. Rev. Pastrus made a most interesting speech and sent a great message home with his audience. The main lesson taught was the "Power of Love" which was so wonderfully demonstrated. "In order that we may follow Jesus we must inherit his love," said At 8 o'clock, the Rev. Stanley delivered a most inspiring sermon from first Samuel, fifteenth chapter and the fourteenth verse. "And Samuel said: what meaneth their hearts and the sheen of their ears and the oaken which I hear?" He explained very vividly how we sometimes misunderstand the importance of obedience preferred to sacrifice, saying: Some people consider their knowledge better and more important, consequently bring great misfortune and distress upon themselves. Such was the case of Saul When Samuel came to anoint Saul king over Israel, he said that the Lord had said to smite Amalek and destroy entirely all their possessions. But Saul spared all the well-bred cattle and Agag the King said to Samuel, "I have performed the commandment of the Lord and Samuel answered. What meenanthen this bleating of sheep in mine cars" When 'Saul, told how he, had saved the sheep, the sheep for sacrificing, Samuel'said, "because those who had saved the sheep, the sheep for sacrifice has also, rejected thee from being king. This should serve as a good lesson to those who prefer sacrificion three persons connected, themselves with the church. Miss P. Lawrence, acting reporter. St. Martin's Chapel At the 11 o'clock service, Bishop Gardiner of Liberia preached, a wonderful sermon on Africa, giving us, in detail many interesting points about Liberia; her problems, the injustices and injustices; the schools of the American Negro and Liberia should be a very close one, for the history of Liberia is very closely allied to the American Negro history. 'Among the progress spoker of by the bishop, was achievement by the bishop, the schools of the American Negro and the trades. Christianity is making great headway among the hatives, and the governments activity in building roads is making intercourse easy and accessible. 'Among the needs are doctors, dentists, nurses, and the demand be met as the demand are felt in the different countries to gain this much needed knowledge. One item especially need mentioning, is the falsity of many reports carried by your Race papers concerning Liberia which the people there know nothing about at all. The bishop spoke of the Firestone concession and the benefits to the people. Bishop Gardiner was also present at a tea from 5 to 7, served by Miss. Hoke and a committee of ladies. At the vesper services, we were favored with special music by a quarter from the choir and the orchestra. Rev. Johnson spoke on the theme of "Discord follows the practice of one part of the people looking down with contempt upon other people." This is one of the reasons there is no part of our congregation looking down upon the other part with contempt. On Sunday, October 14th, at 8 p.m. there will be a sacred concert by some of the artists who have appeared at the vesper services. The proceeds will be for the building fund. The date of the bazaar is October 23 to 26 inclusive. Program every night, and many special features. Bethel A. M. E.

"Ahab was serving God when he left the food outside the door, and the raven got it for Elijah, but Alabah was not, not following God, he was following Jebezel. The Egyptians perfected the art of embalming, entombed mummies, and buried with pyramids, desert with pyramids, not that these things might be unearthied centuries later and called marvelous, but that they, following the universal human impulse called religion, might be prepared to go on in the life which they believed lay in the grave, the close of the service twenty persons received the hand of fellowship.

THE SIX THE NEW YORK AGE SPORTS AND THE BOXING EXPERT DECLARES COLOR LINE IS BROKEN DOWN IN NEW YORK AND PREDICTS A NEGRO CHAMP SOON Ed. Sullivan, boxing expert and sports editor of *The New York graphic*, recently had the following comment about Negro boxers in his column, "Sport Whirl": *Color Line Now Opaque.* Nordic nose mudgers of the present day seem to care less about the color line than an amateur painter. The willingness of pugilistic pale faces to mingle with their colored brethren will undoubtedly result in the appearance of a Negro champion before you finish your Christmas shopping. Young Jack Thompson, Coast wetterweight, who virtually is the uncrowned champion of the class through his knockout of Joe Dundee, titleholder of the division, in a match where the Negro was compelled to weigh In two pounds above the wetter poundage, is to tackle the Baltimore Italian in a title scrimmage at the Garden November 15. Duncee's recent bouts especially tilt with Jimmy Finley at Tampa last Friday night, where the Louisville lawyer held the champions to a draw, lead to the conclusion that Thompson will repeat his knockout victories, when they come together next month at the Garden. Many Chocolate Droppers. If Thompson rails, colored fans still have powerful candidates for fistic titles in Kid Chocolate, tiny replica of Jack Dempsey, Al Brown Tiger Payne, Babs Joe Gans, George Godfrey, Jack McVey and Bruce Flowers. Any of whom is a potential champion in his class. Brown will win the bantam title if he can make the weight without weakening himself. Fidel La Barba, former flyweight boss, now gunnings for the bantam throne, who bested Blishey Graham, New York state champion, in Los Angeles last month, passed up an opportunity to mingle with the inning Nico. Fidel's refusal to tackle Al May prove costly, since the fighting toothpick may be recognized as king of the division by our boxing commission as well as the National Biscuit Company and the National Boxing Association. Brown's victory over kid Francis, the Italian bantam, who whipped Andre Routis in Europe, established him as the big threat for the bantam championship. 2. Barba draws the color line against Brown for obvious reasons Boxers who won't box a colored man in the ring would not carry their prejudices to the point where they would reject the services of a Negro surgeon if he happened to be the lone doctor in a hospital and an immediate operation was required to save a life. 3. Neither would they cite the color line when the long green is needed to save the foreclosure of a mortgage on the little maitain and an Ethiopian happened to be the only man to offer the required cash. 4. Did you ever notice any boxer ignoring the signal of a Negro traffic copper on Lenox avenue Stenographer-Opponents! Some boxers of my own color welcome bouts with Negro warriors who are prone to take dictation. Harry Ebbets, Freeport middle-weight, who should sock his way to stardom, refused to box Jack McVey at the Garden, yet rejoiced at the opportunity of fighting Harry Dudley, a Negro set-up, who was erased in a few rounds Ebbets, a knockout puncher, should step out and take on a fighter of recognized worth. His list of "Pushovers" is worse than *Ruby Goldstein* George Godfrey, possessor of everything which makes a great fighter, has dawdled away countless chances to dominate the heavy-weight housejoint. If he does not stop Roberto Roberti, the Italian giant; at Ebbets Field, tomorrow night he'll eliminate himself from the slight possibility of meeting the winner of Tex Rickard's heavyweight tourney. If George had a spark of the spirit and dash of Kid Chocolate, he'd be studying Shakespeare now. Tiger Payne, Leo P Flynn's light heavyweight, can't savvy training at all. In condition he might bump off all the so-called start of the light heavyweight and heavyweight division. Morped Up - Opposition Jack McVey fought clear through all opposition to Mickey Walker's middleweight eag chair with the exception of George Courtney, who was the official challenger to the title in this state. Courtney withdrew his challenge rather than meet McVey. The Harlemite, discouraged by the failure of his quest, ceased training, became ill, and fought differently until last month, when he decided to make another crusade for Walker's scepter. Rid Chocolate, most sensational of all the Negro gladiators, is unfortunate that his weight is four pounds above the hantam limit and the same poundage below the feath erweight avoidupoi, He might shave down to the ban- tam limit, out would be foolish, since he is a youngster of such ex- cellent qualifications such a proce- cedure might, ruin him. Chocolate would do well to con- fine his activities to the feather- weight class! Baby Joe Gans, who stopped Harry Felix and Cuddy De Marco last month, will receive a severe test when he squares off against Andy Di Vodi at the Garden next Friday night Gans, after a poor start, looms as a welter who might succeed against Judy Dunder if Thompson fails. Tribute To Julio Rojo By JOHN F. CONDON There is a great German proverb that "All Good Things Gd By Threes," and in paying homage to the colored baseball players, among the top notches is Julio Rojo, the third one in our galaxy of diamond stars. He was born in Saqua LeGrande, Cuba, on May 24 1892, and his early childhood was spent in assisting his parents on the field. He played ball for his nature town team at "Saqua," and so great was his progress that Santiago sent for him to uphold their honors in the annual "show down" for base ball supremacy. After three years hard work, he wended his way to the Empire City where his reputation had preceded him. The Cuban Stars with the great Chacon, as standard bearer, captured him for 1915-16-17-18-19, and his quick action, his genial natures and his comedy sketches, won for him a host of fans In 1920 the Bacharach Giants secured his services and he ought or played the outfield to perfection as necessity demanded. In 1920-aggregation of players from the four points of the compass "Rojo" was selected to catch and coach. 26 his work with the Baltimore Black Sox became a household word for mirth and jollity. In 1927-28, manager Keenan of the Lincoln Giants searched for a certain calibre of player who could cover first, catch a speedy man and act as spirited coach in an emergency and out from the first day he stepped out the field he took the fans by storm and his droll, dry humor, his serpentine dancing coupled with his slow movies, have brought forth rounds of applause, time after time. His effective coaching rests with his knowledge of inside ball and his laconic replies to the good mature frequenters of the bleachers. His foresight is plainly demonstrated by the fact that in tight pinches he tells the audience that "two runs will be scored this inning" and "It won't be long now" to the great amusement of the spectators. He is always gentlemanly, and he stands as an example of a real earnest, genuine talisman of the game. Hampton Downs Virginia Seminary, 13-0, At The Opening of New Stadium By JAMES B. CLARKE. 1 ampton Institute. Va. Seminary and College went down to defeat 13 - 0 in the opening game of Hampton's C. I. A. A schedule on Armstrong Field. The Dragon eleven on the second play released a pent up air attack, but it was quickly smothered when the principals of the attack, namely Fidde, Davis, Slim Henderson and Cap Fowler were watched carefully. During the second quarter, after Hampton had succeeded in covering up Seminary's air attack, Seminary got a bad break in the game. Seminary was down on her 50-yard line in possession of the ball hurt. Seminary's center man had made Davis's ball tackled on his 2nd line. Davis tried to kick it but it fell short. From that point on Hampton's powerful fast backfield drove the line for first down, and Beau Guest carried the ball across for a touchdown. Baker kicked goal for (thr extra count. The second muchlowown came in the third period. Hampton got a little edge on Seminary in the exchange of punts between Baker and Davis. This advantage put Hampton down in Seminary's territory about 20 yards from the goal. Again it was ripping, tearing plunging and deriving of Hampton's fast foursome—Baker. Byrd, Guest and Jones—that brought the ball within striking distance Jones was called upon to make first down but instead he hit the line for nine vards and a clean cut touchdown Without a doubt it was hard to distinguish which of the four gained the most ground.

Atlanta University 11 Beats Fort Benning, 9-7 Atlanta, Ga. — Atlanta University won its curtain raiser of the football season by defeating the Twenty-fourth Infantry last Saturday, October 6, by a score of 9-7. The soldiers have a stalwart line and they are no easy birds, as they showed the week before in Atlanta when they barely nosed out ahead of Clark University. Atlanta University tried no frills in this game. She dashed out to the soldier boys plain airfare without any garnish, but everybody was satisfied with the game, even if it was mostly straight football. He gave his veterans, whom were Robinson at cricket, slaughter and Pierce at guard, Simon and Moon at tackles, Clay and Ramsay at end, McPherson, Stanley, Wiggins, and Jones in the back field, the first chance. Shepard and Matte also in the back field are attracting attention at the start. There were no injuries, and on that account, the coach-Aikens, Walker and Gunn, left the field happy. "Road House" At The Roosevelt Theatre Today, a captain of industry, a wealthy man of business, respected in the community in which he lives, but bowed down in grief over the escapades of his only son and brief—tomorrow a baptal sea captain, with no regard for the law and morals. Few actors of the screen could that that was just plain, but Michael Barrymore and did.

Theatre in Harlem THEATRE ERY SATURDAY NIGHT NATIONAL - MONTH W LESLIE'S Helen Hunt Jackson's story, "Ramona," which coagges to the M & S. Douglas beginning Saturday, 4 days, is regarded as one of the present day American classics. When Mrs. Jackson decided to write "Ramona," she had a deliberate purpose and as high an aim as that associated in the writing of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." She did not realize that her story would prove one of America's most interesting romances. It was the writer's motive to bring a treatment toward the Indians by the time before Congress in the hope that Congress would enact just laws. That was Mrs. Jackson's whole desire Before "Ramona" recalled the Indian's plight in fiction form, she had written "A Century of Dishonor" in which was an account of the United States government's dealing with the Indian tribes that had widespread influence. Being a plain, cold statement of facts, it copies of evidence to bear it out, and it really an indictment of the Government for its failure to keep its promise with the Red Man from early times down to the date of the publication of the book, 1880. New Policy At The Lincoln Next Week ALHAMBRA Commencing next Monday night, October 15th, the management of the New Lincoln Theatre will inaugurate a new policy which will bring to auditors at this house a change that will be for the best. Three big shows for the price of one will include a musical comedy revue with twent-five people, the cast to be changed weekly, bringing new principals to the theatre which will be decidedly welcome. Three bigtime vaudeville acts from the major circuits will also appear weekly, with change of these acts on Monday and Thursday. Although the Lincoln has long ago established a reputation for showing some of the best pictures in Harlem to be seen in any theatre, white or colored, the management has decided to go in for some of the most exclusive film offerings which will give the Lincoln added impetus as the house has never lost "Dancing Dandies" With Emmett Anthony, Crackshot Pigmeat and Immense Company BESIDES PICTURES Triple Program 25c-35c-50c Next Week—Drama "WHILE LONDON SLEEPS" Revue "THE SPEED LIMIT" new Douglass Theatre M. & S.

WHITE DR. MELVILLE CHARLTON'S SERVICE AS ORGANIST AT ST. JAMES CHURCH DEVELOPS APPRECIATIVE INTEREST Members of the congregation and friends who visit St. James Pressbyterian Church, 141st street and St. Nicholas avenue, of which the Rev William Lloyd Imes is minister in charge, are noting with keen interest the splendid development of the choir since Dr. Melville Charlton, A. A. G. O., one of the race's most distinguished organists, took charge, which was on the first Sunday in July, last. Every church recognizes the great value of music as a part of its ritualistic worship, and there are some excellent choir groups in the churches of Greater New York. The larger congregations, with sufficient income, are employing quartets of solo singers, supported by chorus bodies of volunteer singers, the number of singers in the ensembles varying according to the number of choristers available. Most of the pastors and officers of these churches are progressive and are not averse to appropriating the necessary fund for maintaining a high musical standard, but they are not always able to secure either organists or singers of the first rank, and so the musical effort in far too many of our churches is of a mediocre quality. It is encouraging, however, to note that there is a decided advance in colored churches along musical lines, and this is shown in the gradual weeding, out of singers who are not well qualified, as well as of those whose long tenure of service is their only badge of merit. With higher standards being reached and maintained in the pulpit, it naturally follows that there is a higher perfection demanded of the pulpit's greatest and most valuable ally—the church choir! When St. James secured the service of Dr. Charlton, music lovers who are aware of that splendid musician's ability rejoiced in the fact that the race would at last have opportunity to benefit to the fullest from his masterly attainment. For in all the past years of his musical activity, Dr. Charlton had been compelled to seek employment musically from congregations of other races than his own. For seventeen years, he has served as chapel organist for the Union Theological Seminary, perhaps the most noted Presbyterian school in the country for the training of ministers. Besides this Sunday service, Dr. Charlton has for nearly the same-length of time served as organist for one of the largest Hebrew Synagogues in Greater New York, their services being held on Friday evening and Saturday morning. And although he is now regularly at St. James, he retains both of these pogitions, for he has just signed a new contract for the next year to preside at the great Austin organ in the Seminary chapel for another year. A change in the religious program at Union has made his service at St. James possible. He plays for the School of Religion service, which is held from 9 to 10:30 a.m., Sunday mornings, and by using a taxi is able to reach St. James in ample time for his 11 o'clock service. The first fall service at the Seminary was held Sunday morning, October 7. That his work is being appreciated at St. James is shown by the presence in the congregation each Sunday of many of his musical friends who come to pay their respects and to enjoy the improved work of the choir. One of the most enjoyable features of the service is the playing by Dr Charlton of brief musical interludes at points in the service that would otherwise be vacant. Those who attended last Sunday morning's service were afforded a treat when, after the choir had sung "Prayer of Thanksgiving" from a "Netherland folk song, as the offertory, and the trustees had not completed their task on money collecting. Dr Charlton played an organ transcription of the anthem just sung, improvising the transcription into both major and minor settings of intriguing beauty. The music for the evening of Sunday, October 14, will be a special rendering of Mohr's Communion Mass in D, in honor of the Afro-American Presbyterian Council, which is sitting at St. James this week and which holds its final session on that evening. The choir will also sing Gounod's anthem, "Send out Thy Light." Dr. Charlton will eventually use a quartet of soloists, in addition to the volunteer chorus choir, but to date has been able to secure only the soprano, Miss Doris Trotman, and the harpone, Benjamin J. Ragsdale. He is hoping soon to secure the tenor and contralto soloists, and will give audition to all applicants. These are paid positions and only well-qualified persons will be employed. Joseph H. Douglass of Washington, well-known violinist, a grandson of the late Frederick Douglass, begins a concert tour of New Jersey on October 18 at the Lincoln School, Englewood avenue, Englewood, N.J. This recital is under auspices of the Shiloh A. M. K. Zion Church, the Rev. W. B. Baker, pastor, and he will be supported by local talent. Mr. Douglass has established a concert agency at 128 Humphrey street, Englewood, for correspondence relating to these New Jersey concert engagements. Music lovers of Greater New York are looking forward with pleasant anticipation to the evening of October 30, when Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell Mus. B., organist and choirmaster & Concord Baptist Church, with studio at 7 Glenada place, will appear in a recital, playing music on the pianoforte at the Academy of Music, Lafayette avenue and St. Leo street, Brooklyn, Mr. Caldwell will play four groups—Sonata in D Major by Havad; Intermezzo in A Minor, Ballade in G Minor and Caprice in F Sharp Minor, by Brahms; Papillons, by Schumann; and Pride in C Sharp Minor, Nocturne in L. Major and Scherzo in C. Sharp Minor by Chopin Sonia Lunsi C Varona, a Cuban violinist, is being presented in rehearsal Tuesday evening, October 10, at the Mother A. M. F.

Melnyre, in his column, New York Day by Day, "appearing in the New York American of October," writes of the incased press, "by Negro performers in Broadway theatre. He declares that his course has developed within the last six years, beginning with the Miller & Lyle production, Stirling About," which was given at Miller in day二 street, and which began only large incomes to Miller & Lyle and their co-production, Sawyer & Blake, and also brought the late Florence Mills, dainty art- and public notice.

Ten years ago their histrionic ability was confined to a few dingy and, alonlined, burlesque theatres above Que. Hundred and Twenty-fifth street in Harlem.

Two brown skin shows had long runs on Forty-second street this season, appearing cheek by jowl with the best theatrical offerings. One was the dramatic and poignant "Porgy," which came back for a return engagement, and the other was Lew Leslie's 'Blackbirds of 1928.'

To contendents the word Josephine has come to mean only the colored actress from America; Napoleon's is a forgotten personage of the past As for Josephine of the Jazz age, the Dances, the Swedes and the Norwegians are talking about her, singing about her and crowding to see her in film and flesh now that she is completing in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm a barn-storming tour of Europe's capitals, with chorus from Vienna, dancing girls from the late John Tiller's seminary for young ladies and costumes, what there are of them, from the "Werkstache fur decorative Kunst." The revue, "Wigz, Wien—oh Josephine," proves that it takes something more than "Wienze madeln" and Tiller girls to put a show across; Consequently Miss Baker has to appear again and again during the course of each performance. She carries the whole show on her shoulders—and hips. Also, she works hard at night, clubs after each performance. It is all toting on her, and hop, "When I left Paris I weighed. 137 pounds; now I weigh 115 pounds, and I don't drink or smoke." Soon, with the continental tour ended, Josephine, Baker hopes to get a bit of rest in Berlin while acting for the moving pictures and appearing nightly at a cabaret. When we introduced our American self at a night club to Josephine Baker she welcomed us most lyrically in English spoken with a French accent, and when this interview took place in her hotel suite she was the hospitable hostess calling off, three" harking pets—Faby Greensboro, N. C. — Greensboro music, lovers, were afforded a rare opportunity on Friday evening, October 5, when the famous styco-gee Tuskegee Band, which accompanied the Tuskegee football team, played in the A. and T. auditorium. A program of exceptionally fine quality, quite beyond the nature of T' a program—that would be expected of amateurs, was regarded by the musicians. Interest in the appearance of the band was augmented by the fact that the famous Tuskegee singers accompanied the young artists. Captain Frank L. Dryer, the band leader, himself an artist, performed excellently on the cornet. The leader served as landmaster in the Ninth United States Cavalry Band. From "Marche Slav," the opening number, to the final selection, including the Tuskegee. "Alna Mater," there was warmth and sustained beauty. Dr. Emmett J. Scott Elected to Y.M.C.A. National Council Baltimore, md—Dr. Ennutt J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D.C., was last week elected by the Inter-State Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations of Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia, at a meeting held in this city, to membership on "The National Council of the Young Men's Christian Associations of the United States of America" Dr. Scott with five others, all white, will represent the tristate area of Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia, and now be comes one of the seven colored members of the National Council, which is the legislative body of the Young Men's Christian Association Approximately 400 representative citizens of the republic constitute the membership of this assembly at area He is well known for his interest in Y M C.

"I adore Paris, and they have even very kind to me, here in Europe," she said, "but at times want to be in New York. I wish I could fly over right now, and see the bright lights on Broadway, Just to walk around Times Square and see some of the shows would be wonderful. After I have completed my contracts there in Europe, I will go back to America, even if not to work. I just must do it. But I shall probably keep my home in Paris; anyway I would have to return to Paris for new clothes." For although Harlem, produced Josephine Baker, it was the rude de la Paix that produced her scant costumes and striking makeup, now known all over Europe, thanks to the movies and illustrated magazines and posters more than to personal appearances. Of the capitals where she has appeared, the girl from Harlem likes Bucharest best, for it gave her a glorious welcome every night and the weather was very hot. "I like hot weather," she says. "I would have it hot-sail the time if I could." Copenhagen started off the Josephine Baker engagement by being cold as to weather-and religious reception. A pastor wrote a letter to the papers," said Josephine Baker, "and he wanted the authorities to do something about this immoral woman," as he called me. But the show proved so popular, and the critics had such nice things to say about me that he came to see me. Then he wrote another letter to the papers, in which he said: "Instead of seeing an immoral woman, we saw a very fine actress. Every girl who wants to be a mother should see Josephine Baker."

While serving in South Africa, Sir Baden-Powell, founder of the movement, observed the training which each boy received in woodcraft and other arts essential to his well-being. He adapted this training to the needs of the English boy and organized the Boy Scout movement which has since become world-wide. "Very often" Dr Smith stated, "Torucanus interested in the education of Africans entirely overlook the fact that the native Africans themselves have a system of education. They use no textbooks, but African, youths are trained to meet the needs of the life which they love. And any effort to bring European methods to them must take into account the system already on vogue." Dr Smith is in this country gathering material for a biography of the late K W G. Maggrey, eminent African educator of the Gold Coast. HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M.

C.—Approximately 7,000 persons, the largest crowd ever to witness a Negro game in this section—and probably in the South, crowded into Memorial Stadium Saturday; October 6, and saw A. and T.'s Bulldogs battle, the famous Tiger eleven from Tuskegee to a 7 to 7 tie. Both teams exhibited a splendid brand of football, displaying aerial attacks; and a kicking, exhibition just about as amazing as any ever seen on a local grid. A. and T. carried the ball deep into Tuskegee's territory time after time, but penalties, and fumbles when they were within scoring distance destroyed their hopes of shoving across the winning touchdown. While a somewhat brilliant kicking duel between Coleman's A. and T. triple threat, and Stevenson, a regular "Red Grange" in the Tuskegee backfield, kept the ball see-sawing up and down the field when actual play was going on the ball was found in the visiting elephant's territory nearly the entire distance, but their heavy line and powerful secondary defense battered down every thrust except in the third-period, led by Lane, a smashing, tearing fullback, A. and T. came through with the touchdown that enabled them to emerge with a tie, the extra point going to them when the Tuskegee eleven was offside on an attempted placement. Tuskegee scored shortly after the game started on a neatly executed, pretty pass that caught the A. and T. boys flatfooted. It was a long pass, 28 yards, straight over the line, from Harrison, right half, to Stevenson, the big yard running ace who bore number 73. Stevenson also added the extra point with a perfect placement that sailed squarely between the uprights. A. and T. came back, fighting at the third period and after an exchange of punts, Lance the hard driving fullback started smashing the husky Tuskegee line to shreds. He carried the ball five consecutive times for two first downs, with Coleman plunging over for a third first down to place the ball in a position for Falk, the quarterback, to dive through the center of the line for the touchdown. Tuskegee was offside on the attempt at a placement for the 'extra point, and the point went to A. and T: automatically. Tuskegee's crack band of 60 pieces kept the crowd peppy with choice selections.

Practical Pattern Made on Substantial Craft Paper (Not tissue) CONVULSIONS Convulsions' are among the conditions which greatly alarm the mother, and we think rightly so. Most of you, no doubt, have seen this distressing condition; so that we are occasionally amazed to be sent for, by a mother to see her baby "who is acting funny," the mother not recognizing the convulsive state. "Inward convulsions," holding of the breath, spasm of the voice box, infantile tetany, infantile epilepsy, and even rickets, may be part of the picture of convulsions. They may begin with a slight twitching of the face or arm or fingers or rolling of the eyes. The child loses consciousness, cannot speak or swallow, does not recognize the mother, becomes pale, may foam at the mouth, struggle to breathe, stiffens, arches his back, "trembles" excessively as if to jerk himself apart. This may last a few seconds or a few minutes to be followed by limpness, a cold perspiration and a sleep of exhaustion. The causes are various. It used to be said that 80 per cent of convulsions is due to intestinal indigestion. Upset of the bowels is a most frequent cause. But probably of these cases eighty per cent is due to infantile tetany which, let us say for the present, is associated with a nutritional disturbance somewhat allied to rickets (for these children have frequent convulsions) plus a nervous system especially liable to irritation. The onset of pneumonia, scarlet fever, meningitis, infantile paralysis, have for the counterpart of chills in the adult, convulsions infants and children. We have seen convulsions induced by intestinal colic and cramps in an infant eight months old brought on by the swallowing of raisins; any small object might do the same Register To Vote!!

In the newborn, commonly where the labor was instrumental or dry or prolonged, convulsions may indicate hemorrhage of the brain. The same condition with or without a fracture of the skull must be considered in convulsions following a fall in which the head is struck. We might with reason doubt that worms or cutting of the teeth of themselves produce convulsions unless they are attended with a basically irritative nervous system. Whooping cough and disease of the middle ear are also to be remembered as causes of convulsions. Mothers are naturally much morecerned as to the outcome of convulsions. Will he die? Will hehave another convulsion? Will hisbrain be affected. None of thesequestions can be answered withcontainty. But we may say, makingthe child does not die, nor is thebrain affected. But inally one convulsion predicts another. The younger the childthe graver is the outlook. The greaternutritional state of the childif poor, presents a similar possibility.A prolonged, continuous stateof convulsions is of grave significance. With the appearance of convulsions, the mother should immediately summon a physician. Means while prepare and give the baby a mustard bath, that is, two tablespoons of mustard to five gallons of water, the latter as hot as can be borne by your elbow. If you have a bath thermometer, regulate the temperature to 105 degrees. Do not put loose mustard directly in the water. Place it in a piece of gauze or cheese cloth and shake it in the water. With the baby supported by your left arm, and cold, cloths to his head, place him in the water, keeping his head elevated, and rub him vigorously with the right hand and the mustard water. Five minutes is long enough. Take him out, dry and wrap him in a large bath towel. Now give the baby a soap suds enema, it itigated with ice bag to head, and hot water bag to feet, and finally give 1 to 2 teaspoons of casted oil. By this time the doctor will have arrived and will ascertain the cause and prescribe the suitable medicine. We wish to caution you against overfeeding the baby the next day. This common error is responsible for recurrence of the convulsions Again, a baby who has had convulsions needs to be seen, by the doctor more than once; for it is difficult at times to find out, the cause of the trouble when the baby is in a convulsive state. With relaxation the symptoms of the primary cause may be elicited apart from those of the convulsion, which is itself a symptom; for there is no disease 'convulsions', but these are manifestations of some underlying cause which is the condition that needs treatment after the convulsions have subsided. 1468 INTERESTING ITEMS GLEANED BY THE AGECORRESPONDENTS NEW YORK Foughkeepsie, N.

MOGANS THE MACHINE In one respect, all organizations are alike—they all bring out the steam roller, or, perhaps we should say, the Machine, in the time of elections. Whether the organization is political, beneficial, fraternal, religious, or merely social in character, its methods of procedure in selecting its representatives are automatic. There is no mind yet that has discovered a better way, so we have no premises for reference. Nevertheless, the thought will not be down that in the cases of benevolent, fraternal and purely social bodies, these methods should be less obvious. Then, too, in organizations of the foregoing types there should be less seeking by the man for the office and more seeking by the office for the man. In politics, the machine may have its constructive aspects. Not being familiar with its mechanism and operation, there is no inclination here to idea-tinker with it. But in these fraternal and beneficial organizations in this organism is overworked. In some of these fraternal and benevolent associations within our race the machine method is more expertly perfected than the machine method in either of the two national political parties. During the convention of a well-known Negro fraternal order in New York last year, the writer heard an officer in that organization say that they had the best oiled machine in the country, referring, of course, to the organization's method of electing its hand-picked slate. And, to anyone who has followed the recent convention and election of this order, the speaker knew what he was talking about. Even in organizations where the emoliment is nothing more than an honor, and that limited to their membership, the procedure of being elected to the honor position is done by the machine method. We cannot say that this is the system followed in the fraternal and benevolent societies of the whites. But we are inclined to the belief that the system is not absolutely racial. In our case, however, we work the machine so openly that nothing but a blind man can escape seeing its mechanism. For instance, the Pullman Porters Benefit Association last week held its primary election for the designation of delegates from the various districts to the association's annual meeting in Chicago, which convenes next month. Now these primary elections, as we understand it, are to avoid just such methods as hand-picking candidates to represent the membership at these yearly conventions. And, yet, according to what some of the porters say, the different districts work the machine system to a nigerty. In some, it is said, it is done with admirable savvity and skill. In speaking of his district, one New York porter allowed that the machine worked so smoothly in the recent-primary that although he disapproved of its mechanism, he had to admire its workings. And, he continued, either one of the four men (who the tellers advise you cautiously "are seeking to go as a delegate, but of course, you can vote for any one of the names on this list," which is a roster of all porters in the district) will make a good delegate to send from the district. We might say here that the foregoing observation is not intended as a specific criticism of the election methods of the porters' association. We simply employed the illustration to establish the point that every organization has its steam roller, or some other sort of formidable machine, which it uses during election time. "Crackers Will Be Crackers" Nowadays one seldom hears the term "nigger" in a public conveyance. But now and then you do, and when you do, just look and see if the word isn't uttered by a cracker. One day last week one of the passenger elevators in the Grand Central was going upward. The car was filled to capacity, but only two of its passengers were conversing. In a southern drawl, the tone of which led to no mistaking the breed of the user, one of the two speaking made a remark in which he used the phrase "darn mignig." For curiosity sake, more than anything else, the writer followed the speaker to see which room he entered, for it was on the same floor that he and the epithet user alighted from the car. The door to the room the user of the phrase entered was marked, "Pullman Conductors." Rahway, M. J. Rahway, N. J.—Mr. and Mrs. Perry Palmer and nephew of Jamaica, L.
