INSURANCE SWINDLE EXPOSED Promised Sick and Death Benefits To More Than 100 Families With Policies In Non Existing Co.; Held In $2,500 Bail What is alleged to be a new "racket" in Harlem was broken up this week with the arrest of James B. Henry, 38 years of age, on Monday by Patrolman Carl Jordan of the West 135th street police station on the complaint of Mrs. Irene Jordan of 141 Edgecombe avenue. According to Detective George Webber, who made an investigation of Henry's activities in Harlem during the past two years, between 150 and 200 Harlemites were paying Henry from 25 cents to $1.50 each per week as premiums on insurance policies in a company that did not exist. Henry came here from Washington, D. C., about two years ago and conceived the idea of establishing his own insurance business. He printed some industrial policies, granting sick benefits to the amount of $20 per week and death benefits as high as $300. He named his new company "The People's Mutual Insurance Co." and represented himself as the Harlem agent. Operating in the territory from St. Nicholas avenue to Madison avenue and from 149th to 128th streets, he began selling these policies to the type of people who do not take the trouble to investigate the company, in which they are being insured. One of his first policy holders was Irene Morris of 141 Edgecombe avenue. Last spring she was taken sick and attempted to collect the sick benefits due her. When she failed to locate Henry, the agent, she attempted to get in touch with the head office of the insurance company by sending to an address on lower Broadway, which he had given her. It was then that she learned that there was no such number and realized she had been swindled. The agent made it his business to keep out of her way but on Monday she spied him on 133rd street between Lenox and Seventh avenues and her complaint brought about his arrest. He was taken before Magistrate Glatzmeyer in the Night Court, who after a brief hearing, held him in $2500 bail to await the action of the Grand Jury. The police found more than a score of names of people whom Henry was collecting from on his person. Some of these "policy holders" were: Edward Miller, 126 Bradhurst avenue; Mitchell McPhea, 126 Bradhurst avenue; Thomas Marshall, 84 Bradhurst avenue; Daisy Milton, 64.Bradhurst avenue; James Richards, 2901 Eighth avenue; James McDonald, 2847 Eighth avenue; John Freeman, 2735 Eighth avenue; Maggie Walker, 2716 Eighth avenue; Malinda Wellman, 2722 Eighth avenue; Edward Scott, 2707 Eighth avenue; Martha Porcher, 2693 Eighth avenue; Mary Dugger, 2549 Eighth avenue; John Gaynor, 2521 Eighth avenue; Nathaniel Jenkinss, 2454 Eighth avenue; Henry P.

A number of these people have gone to the police to join with Mrs. Jordan in the complaint against Henry. VOL. 42. No. 10.

Chas. J. Greene Is First Member Of His Race Appointed To Legal Dept. Of N. Y. Central Railroad Five Year Struggle For Profession. At Fordham Law School Crowned With Success Business Men Join With Union Baptist Church In Anniversary Celebration Union Baptist Church, the Rev. George H. Sims, pastor, is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary and on Sunday night, November 11 a group of local business and professional men, under direction of Watt Terry, joined with them in the celebration. In addition to the religious program, there were brief addresses by George Loomis, cashier of the Dunbar National Bank, David Doles, president of the Belstrat Laundry, Alderman Fred R. Moore, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Dr. Paul Collins, Dr. Nathan Fox and John E. Yates, undertaker Mr. Terry was master of ceremonies. The anniversary sermon was preached by the Rev. R M Bolden pastor of the First Emanuel Church. There were also musical numbers by Miss Cornelia G Dickerson, soprano, and the Union Church chor, under direction of Leon S Adger. By LESTER A. WALTON From the New York World "Gentlemen, this will be the last time that Greene will help you on with your overcoats." Life toregoing statement was made by Auriet H. Harris, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the New York Central Railroad, to George B. Baker and Jackson Reynolds of the First National Bank. Mr Harris told the noted financiers that Charles J. Greene, who ten years had faithfully and efficiently served him—first as attendant and then as clerk—was soon to become a member of the bar and was being transferred to the company's legal department. Greene said it was a happy moment for him long to be remembered when the two bank officials extended congratulations wishing him future success. Charles J. Greene has not been attached to practice. His record of achievement to date to evoke enmity is not as a lawyer but as a struggling young Negro who for five years worked in the day to support his wife, daughter and mother and went to school at night. His experience parallels that encountered by nine out of ten Negroes who to-day ultimately reached the coveted goal after consistently bucking adversity. "Charlie" Green, as he is known in Harlem, was a clerk in the Post Office. During the World War his brother, Granville, who had been an attendant for Albert H. Harris, was drafted and died of pneumonia "Charlie" was offered Granville's job, which he accepted. After five years as attendant "Charlie" concluded to become a lawyer. He made known his hopes and aspirations to Mr. Harris, who advanced him to the status of a clerk in order that he might receive an increase in salary. For two years "Charlie" Greene attended Fordham College, and for three years was a student at the Fordham Law School. During this entire period he seldom went to bed until 11 or 12 o'clock, a some evenings he was in the classroom (9:30). He had to be at work in the morning at 8:45. In June he was graduated from law school and subsequently passed the State bar examinations. On November Greene became a junior clerk in the legal department of the New York Central Railroad, the first of his race to fill such a position. After acquiring valuable experience he plans to open a law office in Harlem. He expects to be admitted to practice in the near future. The New York Central Lines magazine gives the following account: "Almost daily, it seems, on the New York Central, an outstanding example of perseverance, an heroic act or a story of extraordinary character development is unfolded. These stories are never disappointing. They are it would appear, a basic argument for the value of railroadam in character building and a justification for the New York Central's position in the public eye. Relative to the assistance rendered Greene by his employer; it might be said that thousands of Negroes have hurled what seemed insurmountable barriers, thanks to the syriatic cooperation of white friends of Albert H. Harrn's type. R. H.

Johnson Thanks Harlem Voters To the leaders, workers, and voters, of the 21st Congressional District!! Personally I desire to express my thanks and appreciation for the splendid work that was done to get out the good registration and vote in this 21st Congressional District, in the recent campaign. The evidence of earnestness and cooperation was thoroughly exhibited by the largely increased registration and the full vote that was passed at the poles on November 5th. Although we didn't elect all of our ticket, yet we have strengthened and built up the registered vote in this district, which is bound to rebound to its political and social benefit in the future. The newspapers, the ministers, and the leaders of the various clubs, and social and benevolent organizations; were solidly behind this movement and deserve the lasting thanks of the community. The work of recruiting for registration has just begun and the fight will still go on until Harlem has its proper number of registered voters on the list. If our people are denied the vote in the South; we in the North who have the right to vote should exercise that right to the fullest extent. EDWARD A. JOHNSON Colored Exhibits at Ala.

Crawford, Head of Pullman Employes at Sunnyside Yard Makes Denial of Charges of Race Bias The report published in The Age last week in which Harvey O'Connor of the Federated Press quoted Superintendent Crawford, in charge of the Pullman Porters at the Long Island City Terminal, as having referred to the colored men under his supervision as "darkies," "shines" and "niggers" has brought vigorous denials from Mr. Crawford and a number of men associated with him. In a telephone conversation, with Alderman Moore, Mr. Crawford declared that no such conversation as Mr. O'Connor alleges took place. Several porters and other colored "The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters." Since then, every year when election time rolls around, there are all kinds of false accusations and unmerited criticism heaped upon the heads of both the colored and white members of the Pullman supervisory staff. I should think that even a labor organization can be formed without violence, slander or libel. It is not true that Pullman officials conduct the election. Our elections committee consists of 14 porters and one representative of the company. The candidates are well known men in the district. No force of intimidation has ever been Mr. Crawford, assistant district superintendent of The Pullman Company, denies that he used the words, "higges," "shine" or "harkey" in his interview with Mr. Harvey O'Connor of The Federated Press, as published in your paper November 10th. The interview lasted only about three minutes. O'Connor was then sent to the District Superintendent's office for any information he might want. Whoever is responsible, for the release of the articles sent to The Age last week has been severely criticized by more than 90 per cent of the porters in the Pennsylvania Terminal District. They say without equivocation that they, do not believe Mr. Crawford would be likely to refer to colored people in such opprobious terms as "niggers," "darkeyes" and "shines." Mr. Crawford is the immediate supervisor of more than 1,000 colored employees. His office force consists of eleven assistants, seven colored and four whites. Our colored force consists of an Investigator, two Instructors, two Crew Dispatchers, one Night Clerk and one Messenger, while the white force consists of two clerks, one stenographer and one messenger. The writer has a desk just across from Mr. Crawford and I have been in close contact with him for about fifteen years and have my first time to hear him speak in derogatory terms of any group. I consider the word "nigger" or "darkey" as insulting to our race and would be the last person on earth to defend or apologize for anyone using such terms. My work is mostly of welfare nature and I have had in the last few days approximately four or five hundred to protest against that article, and to state emphatically that they do not believe he used the language ascribed to him The policy of The Pullman Company in bringing about innovations in their service has been to have an experimental period. The man and the location are selected because of their adaptability for that particular experiment. When the Pullman Company decided to give colored men promotion after many appeals and some years of waiting, Mr. Crawford was selected as the man, and the Pennsylvania Terminal District as the best place to give colored men a try-out in supervisory and clerical positions. He was selected because of his even tempered mind, his fairness- and impartiality in dealing with men regardless of race or color and his judicial poise as evidenced from the handling of hundreds of cases involving men of our race that come before him every day. His decision to the management was that the colored men had made good, and today he has, a larger number in his office than in any other Pullman office in the entire country, naturally the decisions of most men in his position make enemies, while his decisions make friends, for he is the most popular Pullman official in New York today. The Plan of Employee Representation was organized in 1921. It functioned very successfully without criticism until the organization of "The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters." Since then, every year when election time rolls around, there are all kinds of false accusations and unmerited criticism heaped upon the heads of both the colored and white members of the Pullman supervisory staff. I should think that even a labor organization can be formed without violence, slander or libel. It is not true that Pullman officials conduct the election. Our elections committee consists of 14 porters and one representative of the company. The candidates are well known men in the district. No force of intimidation has ever been used in these elections and a larger number voted at this election than in any previous election. The vote today is 98 per cent of the total number of employees in this district and 93 per cent of the tota number of Pullman employees in the entire country. As we do not relish newspaper controversies, nor acrimonious discussion, this will be our last word on the subject.

WARNING TO WOMEN WITH ROOMS TO RENT Women, with apartments or houses, who have rooms to rent, are warned to be careful as to whom they rent rooms to, as in many cases police officers have used stool pigeons to rent rooms and their raided the homes, making arrests of the women on charges of prostitution, Many such cases have been in Jefferson Market Court recently, and innocent, unsuspecting women have been sent to Welfare Isaad Workhouse as a result.

Marvun, president of George Washington University was the speaker at the University Assembly Hour in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, Wednesday interning. Dr. Marvin, drawing the suggestion from an Indian legend, stated students of the University in seeking the laws of life are pre- preparing themselves for leadership of their group in our complex social order. The speaker pointed out the dangers of deviation from the path of progress in the rush of modern life. To illustrate the principle he contrasted the means of travel sixty years ago and now. On driven caravans in their journey westward found little difference whether they turned slightly to the right or to the left of their course, but a slight deviation in the course of a aeroplane might mean disaster. In keeping with this thought Dr Marvin warned against challenges which the present generatoin must meet as those utterly unknown to thirsty bears. To meet such challenges he emphasized the need of a technical background, comprising a strong body and mental fitness, with a social understanding that will enable one to interpret one's life in terms of human service NEW CHEMISTRY TEACHER APPOINTED John Wesley de Huguley, formerly of Livingstone College has been appointed instructor in Chemistry, Mr. de Hugley is a graduate of Harvard University and a member of the Boylestone Chemistry Club of that institution.

Each principal of every school acts as captain for that school, and interest in Red Cross work is so keen among the educators of the city, that every year a 100% enrollment of the teachers is recorded. Joseph Johnson, has been appointed by Mayor Walker, chairman of the City/Department Group handling enrollment of city officials. Every department head is captain, so that each city bureau is intensively organized to bring the Red Cross appeal to the officials and employees of all city departments. Commissioner James A. Farley is chairman of the Red Cross Committee responsible for the enrollment of all state employees located in New York City Miss Annie Matthews, county register, is Chairman of the Red Cross County Committee and Charles B. Hillis, responsible for the enrollment of the Federal Group, such as employees of the customs department, immigration department, etc. Police Commissioner Warren reports that under the chairmanship of Deputy Police Chief, Thieh H. Murphy, a 100% Red Cross enrollment is expected from the police of the city. Last summer every police rookie received life saving and resuscitation instruction for the Red Cross.

Robinson, pastor, of Goodwill Presbyterian Church at Fort Pierce, Fla., has been in New York for the past two weeks seeking aid for the victims of the recent hurricane which swept Florida. According to Rev. Robinson, many colored families are in dire distress despite the help of the Red Cross. A number lost their homestead and need money for repairing and rebuilding purpose so with which purchase more live stock or seed for their farms. He reports that the Red Cross had been concerned mainly with furnishing food and clothing for the victims and not with helping them to reestablish their homes. Rev. Robinson called at The Age office, with Webster H. Handy, a local resident, and showed credentials from the St. Lucie County Colored Welfare Association. He is asking that anyone desiring to aid this worthy cause send contributions direct to the St. Lucie County Welfare Association at Ft. Pierce, Fla. Expansion Planned For West 135th St. YMCA Walter T. Diack, general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association in New York City, writing in the November issue of "Men of New York," has this to say of the expansion program as it affects Harlem: "Careful studies are being conducted to determine whether it will be more practical to sell the present home of the West 135th street Branch for colored men and boys, or to build an addition to the present building. It is expected that a decision on these questions will be reached in the near future and that during the year 1930 work will commence on either an addition or an entirely new building for the colored men and boys of Harlem. The appropriation available for this purpose is $7,500,000." $100,000 Hospital At Prairie View College Prairie View, Texas—A new hospital building at Prairie View College, to cost $100,000, is being erected. The hospital staff is headed by Dr. J. M. Franklin, with Dr. Smith as interne and Dr. R. E. Christian as resident deptist. The latter two are Meharyra graduates. The school of nurse training is under superintendency of Mrs. E. F. Brannon, and is one of two schools for Negro nurses recognized by the State of Texas. The graduate nurses find immediate employment in all sections of the country. A group of the teaching staff of the college has formed a Bureau of Research to be devoted to a scientific study of the educational, social and economic problems of Negro life in Texas and the Southwest: In addition, an analysis of the college problems will be made. Harry W Greene of Lincoln, Columbia and Yale University, is director. Associate directors are L. M. Tobin, James C. McMorris, R. P. Perry, M. P. Carmichael, R. B.

Five years ago, 17 policemen lost their lives in rescuing drowning persons, but in the last two years, because of the Red Cross instruction, not one policeman has drowned or failed to make an attempted rescue. Concentrated work among the colored blind of New York City will be one of the most important features of the social service work of the Association for the Blind whose fall program activities has just been announced at the Association headquarters, 111 East 59th street. Among the women, club work has been started which aims to reach all the blind colored women in New York who are interested and for the first time they will have a separate club. Bi-monthly meetings will be held and sewing work will be done for the Lighthouse clothing department which distributes clothes to the blind poor in the city. Plans are being made to organize recreation groups, glee clubs and gymnasium classes. An increased appropriation for guide service will enable many who have not been able before to come to the Lighthouse, to be brought there for the meetings. Twice during the year there will be Sunday afternoon teas for both colored blind men and women. The work for the men will be taken care of through the men's recreation department and will include among other things, the organization of a glee club and an orchestra. Special attempts will be made to place the colored men in the Bourne workshop where the workers make mugs and brooms for commercial consumption, and to find newsstands or other occupations for them. The social service department of the Lighthouse carries on its work through the visits of the home teachers which are in turn supplemented by the placement bureau, the medical department, the sight saving service and various other departments. There is apt to be a discouraging sameness about the lunches the children carry to school. Why not make sandwiches of different kinds of bread once in a while? Use whole wheat, rye, or steamed brown bread sometimes in place of the usual white bread; or raisin, nut, or date bread, all of which are good with cheese filling or no filling at all. Or orange bread, made with chopped cooked orange peel. For a change omit sandwiches and include biscuits, rolls, or corn bread, or oatmeal or bran muffins. A piece of cheese, hard-cooked egg, or a chicken drum stick may take the place of sandwich filling. The center of a roll may be hollowed and filled with chopped meal or cooked fish seasoning with yoghurt. A small bag of erosion potato chips is liked occasionally and, not too often, a piece of pickle. Salad fillings, including a leaf of lettuce and any preferred dressing, always help to make ordinary sandwiches more moist. Bacon and lettuce, ground peanuts mixed with cream, tomato with mayonnaise, cooked meat cake in thin flat slices are other good fillings suggested by the Bureau of Home Economics to vary the sliced cold meat that appears so frequently. Be sure to season all sandwiches with sufficient salt, and keep a small salt shaker with the lunch basket. Cut the bread evenly, but not too thin, and spread it carefully on both sides so that the butter forms a coating that prevents the filling from soaking through. Don't get the edges smeared with butter. Butter should be creamed before it as spread on bread sandwiches, but it should not be meated as that makes it soak into the bread. A whole tomato, a heart of celery, radishes, peeled Jerusalem artichokes, some chopped cabbage mixed with boiled dressing and carried in a jelly glass, slices of cucumber, raw carrot, or rutabaga are suggestions for including uncooked vegetables from time to time. Milk, it is to be hoped, is available at the school, and periaga a hot dish. Fruit drinks are also desirable, and frunt of some kind every day. Dried fruits like figs, raisins and dates can be used occasionally. Put in a sweet "surprise" took and then—a new kind of cookie, a piece of chocolate, an attractive piece of cake, maple sugar, or even a few candies. Needless to say, the lunch should be packed attractively and so that it will be in good condition when unpacked. Wrap each food separately in waxed paper. Pack those least likely to crush at the bottom. The basket or box used should be ventilated and should be kept scruppiously-clean. An extra paper napkin or paper towel to spread on the school desk adds to the comfort andaintiness of the child's meal. NOTICE!

LOCAL and LONG DISTANCE MOVING LICENSED PIANO MOVER Miss Mary Hay, a Red Cross nurse sent down to Porto Rico from the New York County Chapter and the 'bromas of the American Red Cross, returned Tuesday night from the island, and reported that her ship the S. S. San Lorenzo, was badly battered by the tail end of the storm which wrecked the S. S. Vestris. Miss Hay was among the 32 American Nurses that the Red Cross sent to Porto Rico. The island was divided into five sections with an American nurse and doctor in charge. The first thing accomplished was a medical survey of each district, the water 'sunny investigated, number of homes destroyed and diseases chronicked. An emergency hospital was then erected in each district, which acted as the centre for relief and medical work, as many of the local hospitals were of course destroyed by the storm. As far as was possible, the local nurses were employed to do emergency nursing, give inoculations against typhoid, marm the emergency hospital wards and do as much home nursing as could be accomplished. This left the American nurses free for inspection, organizing and supervision work. Little difficulty was encountered with the language problem as all the Porto Rican children are taught English in the schools and the native doctors all speak English. At Aguadilla, which is a typhoid area, Miss Hay said the Red Cross had erected a $5,000 permanent antex to the existing municipal hospital for the exclusive care of typhoid cases. This hospital contains 30 to 40 beds. Miss Hay stated that there are 3 emergency hospitals still running but that in another month, the Red Cross will have finished its work on the island. The problem for the future is a building and planting and economic one. 115th STREET, 72 EAST 3 and 4 Rooms. Hot Water supply, tile baths and electricity. Just open, reasonable rent.

W. C. A. on November 8 when fifty young people, between the ages of ten and fifteen, were admitted into the Girl Reserve Movement, the largest girls organization in the world. After a peppy supper the girls who had been volunteer Girl Reserves long enough to understand and appreciate Movement, expressed nobility their desire to become Girl Reserves and lit their individual white tapers from the red white and blue candles. They were a source of great inspiration to the campaign-workers who had the pleasure of seeing the ceremonial. Those women who have been working so well during these early days of the campaign, went out with new determination to make possible the continuation of the girls club work—the activities which offer them so many fine opportunities for physical, mental, and spiritual development. Advisors and junior advisors of clubs, and members of the committee combined their efforts to make this occasion an event which the girls would long remember. Armistice Day Program By Pupils Of P.

Farmers who have risen from the stage of tenancy will tell others what means they used to gain this end, what thrift practices they resorted to, what they have been able to achieve since becoming independent landowners. In addition to the open forum discussions by farmers, there will be addresses by Dr. Bradford Knaph, president of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute; John B. Pierce, field agent, U. S. Agricultural Extension Service; Hampton Institute; Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and president of the conference; and others. The conference, founded by Booker T. Washington, comprises the farmers' section and the workers' section. The home will be the topic which the teachers, preachers, social service workers and others interested in rural welfare, who attend the workers' section, will discuss. Meeting with the conference will be the boys and girls of the 4-H Clubs, composed of the rural youth of the South, who will hold their fourth annual camp at Tuskegee December 3-6. The program of the 4-H Clubs will be featured by a number of contests for boys and girls. Word comes from Cleveland that the citizens, led by Civil Service Commissioner Harry E.

Josephthal, commanding the New York Naval Militia, will be honored by a Review given by the 369th Infantry under the command of Colonel William A. Taylor, on Monday evening, November 19, 1928, at the Armory. The Review will begin at 8.30 o'clock, and as it is the first Review of the season the Regiment is making special preparation in the way of many interesting features Captain Homer C. Butler, commanding Company "M." has been working overtime for the past month preparing his company for a machine gun demonstration. Captain Butler also expects to add a little fireworks to his demonstration by the use of blank ammunition. Police are investigating the murder of Fred Green, a porter, who was found shot to death in the hallway of his home at 26 West 129th street. The body was discovered early Monday but is the belief of police that the murder occurred elsewhere In addition to the machine gun demonstration, Captain Rufus A. Atkins, the Regimental athletic officer, is preparing for his first big athletic event of the season in the form of an inter-battalion relay race. Each battalion in the Regiment will be represented with a four-man team, and there are handsome prizes to be awarded by Admiral Josephthal to the first three teams. After the machine gun demonstration and the relay race the Regiment will assemble for evening parade, which is a very colorful ceremony, in the Armory, at which time Admiral Josephlath will present to Captain Rufus A. Atkins (Company D) Sergeant Frank Wallace and Sergeant William Cookson of Headquarters Company ten-year medals awarded by the State of New York for long and faithful service. This medal is a coveted award, and it is not frequent that men of the National Guard qualify to receive it. The George P. Davis Post of the American Legion presented to the Regiment during the camp tour a cup to be awarded to the company which attained the highest efficiency during the camp tour. This cup was won by Company D under the command of Captain Rufus A. Atkins, and the company, assembled in the presence of the regiment, will have the pleasure of receiving the cup on that occasion. Admiral Josephthal has been particularly interested in the work of the National Guard and Naval Militia, and during the World War was assigned to the Fleet Supply Base of the Third Naval District, Admiral Josephthal has been a member of the Naval Militia since 1891 and during that time has seen considerable service. After the Reginmental Review and evening parade the 369th Infantry Band, under the command of Warrant Officer Jacob W. Porter, will entertain the guests with dance music and they will be permitted to enjoy themselves for the remainder of the evening. Xmas Cheer Committee To Give Midnight Benefit At Alhambra Theatre At the last regular meeting of the Citizens Christmas Cheer Committee, held at the residence of Mrs. Mamie L. Briggs, 2484 Seventh avenue on November 7, plans were made for a midnight benefit show to be held at the Alhambra Theatre on Wednesday, December 12, to aid the Christmas dinner basket fund Many, Broadway stars have promised to appear, according to an announcement made by the president. A report from Mrs. Claire J. Hart, chairman of the entertainment committee, brought the information that the card tournament at Bamboo Inn on Friday evening, October 26, was a financial as well as social success. The affair was also given to aid the Christmas dinner basket fund "About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G. O'Shields, of Portersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Police are investigating the murder of Fred Green, a porter, who was found shot to death in the hallway of his home at 26 West 129th street. The body was discovered early Monday but is the belief of police that the murder occurred elsewhere but that the body was brought to the spot where it was found and left by the assailant or assailants. AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE It has never been the policy of the Lincoln Theatre management to appear mysterious in the various ventures which have been put through ever since Mrs. Downs decided many years ago to take over the personal direction of her house, hence the announcement that a surprise will be given patrols and friends of the house next week can be accepted with a certain satisfaction of the honesty underlying the announcement. Of course, the surprise will be along the line of a show, something which they hope will be out of the ordinary. This week Johnny Dancy's "Mississippi Babies" in six scenes and a peppy chorus hold the attention of auditors, supported by the Negro Art Players in "Cooped Up," another offering that give the company a chance to appear to the best advantage. The bill will undoubtedly be made the stronger the latter half of the week when the popular John Barrymore is seen in "Tempest", supported by Carmilla Horn and Louis Wolheim. For a million people, the largest audience in the world heard Mr. Barrymore speak over the radio during the production of this picture. Barrymore recited the soliloquy from "Hamlet", in which stage vehicle he was acclaimed as the greatest actor of modern times. The hook-up was nation-wide and even people in foreign countries listened in on the occasion. Despite the securing of this unusual picture by the management of the Lincoln, the picture now being snown entitled the "Gorilla" is one of the strongest and most entertaining of its kind and those not witnessing it by Wednesday night when it will be withdrawn to be replaced by the Barrymore picture will be missing a great deal. "Blackbirds" Repeats B'way Triumph in Boston Lew Leslie, young producer, who steered "Blackbirds of 1928" to overwhelming success after the critics generally blackballed this colored extravaganza when it first opened on Broadway, has triumphed once again. Against the advice of friends who warned a second company of "Blackbirds" minus the established stars of the original troups would fail, Leslie organized a company of practically unknows and launched his New England "Blackbirds" in Boston last week where it is creating a veritable sensation. Unlike New York, Boston greeted "Blackbirds" with open arms, heaping adjectival praise on the newcomer without stint. The Boston Post, in speaking of the premiere performance, said: "Everybody came for a good time and got it. Number after number, stopped the show. The finale took six curtains. It could have had more. Maybe the stage hands got tired working it up and down. Certainly the audience hadn't had nearly enough." "The Boston Daily Advertiser added further to the acclaim by stating: 'It's not so easy to make comparisons in this instance, but yet it seems safe enough to say that 'Blackbirds,' is the best in the long and quite distinguished line of all Newro productions since the classic Williams and Walker days.'" One review is better than the other and the business at the box office is naturally capacity. And not only that, but the playgoers themselves have responded to such an extent that the theatre housing this second company of "Blackbirds" is sold out for the next six weeks. Of unusual interest in this connection is the fact that this is probably the first time in show business that a revue in exact replica has been duplicated and sent to play the big theatrical centers while the original company is still on Broadway "I knew it was a daring experiment," declared Lew Leslie yesterday, "but instinctively I felt I could gather as able a company to present 'Blackbirds' on the road as the original company now presenting, the show at the Eltree Theatre in New York. There are so many Negro artists waiting to be discovered that I felt no hesitancy in organizing a second company, knowing full well I would get actors and actresses to add glory both to themselves and my production.

Rev. Floarda Howard Calls Attention To Work of May Johnson The Rev. Floarda Howard, vicar of St. Jude's Chapel, 19 West 99th street, has written a letter to James Weldon Johnson, calling attention to the omission of the name of Mrs. May Howard Jackson, sculptress from the list of prominent colored artists in his article, "Race Prejudice and Negro Artists," in the current issue of Harper's Magazine. Rev. Howard's letter is as to tollows: My dear Mr. Johnson: I have just finished reading your interesting article in the November number of Harper's Magazine, entitled "Race Prejudice and Negro Artists." You could not of course, mention all artists of ability among the colored pele, but in the sphere of Sculpture which has produced exceedingly few capable artists, I was quite amazed to see that you had omitted the name of the only outstanding: portrait sculpture that our race has produced in this generation. I refer to Mrs. May Howard Jackson, of 1816 16th street, N. W. Washington, D. C. This is the same Mrs. Jackson who was recently selected, together with two most prominent white artists, to be a judge at the Harmon Award, when Mrs Laura Wheeler Waring was the recipient of a $500 prize for an excellent painting. May Howard Jackson was the first colored woman to receive a scholarship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia; and for more than thirty years has been producing sculpture which has received widespread recognition. A bust of Kelly Miller has been accepted and exhibited in the National Academy of Design in New York City. A similar honor has been accorded May Howard Jackson by the Cockrane Art Gallery in Washington, D.C. At the entrance of the Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C., the bust of Paul Laurence Dunbark, work of Mrs Jackson, stands as an inspiration to the colored youth. I believe it would amply repay you to visit Mrs Jackson when you are in Washington, and see for yourself the high character and genius of her work. It is not because Mrs Jackson seeks notoriety, that I write this, it is quite to the contrary; but I do emphatically affirm, that our race, which decries prejudice on the part of white people, cannot afford to ignore real artistic talent which is exemplified by May Howard Jackson. Very respectfully yours. FLOARDA HOWARD "Autumn Frolics" At Alhambra Theatre "Sea Dritt," this week's drama at the Alhambra Theatre, occurs on the island of Samoa in the South Seas, where the United States has its naval coaling station for the Pacific Ocean. In this lazy land Andrew S Bishop is seen as a beachcomber, a tramp of the tropics, in tattered clothes, with unshaven face and bare feet, George Randol is the shittless proprietor of a small hotel on the shore and Susie Sutton is his native wife. Edna Barr is a fascinating halisavage native girl who often and easily shifts her affections, and finally pays with her life for her trituring Ted Blackmon is a native youth infatuated with the girl, Jimmy Baskette is a stalwart United States army captain, disloyal to his pretty wife, Edna Young. A-bluff old sailor is well played by Barrington Carter, "Sea Drift" is an absorbing drama—one of the best the Alhambra players have done "Autumn Frolics" has as funmakers, Roccee Montella, W Dusty Fletcher, Pigmeat, and Amanda Randolph. Among the singers are Doris Rheubottom, Ida Brown and Jimmy Johnson. There are concise situations all the way from a Broadway automat restaurant to Satan's domain. A mad wild competition in eccentric dancing had the audience cheering. To round out the triple program there is "The Romance of a Million Dollars," the feature picture, with Glen Hunter as star.

Detectives of the West 135th street Police Station are working on the case but no arrests have been made BILEY·H Infants and children are very susceptible to tuberculosis. The presence of infection can be detected by certain tests. These show a gradual increase in the number infected from birth to adult life. On average, 50 per cent of children under twelve years of age show a positive reaction and about 90 per cent from twelve to twenty one years. In view of this, we distinguish (1) tuberculosis infection meaning having been attacked by the organisms of tuberculosis at some time and (2) tuberculosis disease meaning an active state of warfare between the body and the tubercle bacillus. Tuberculosis is not hereditary. Infants acquire the disease after birth by contact with the diseased mother of father. For this reason a baby should be separated from a diseased mother immediately after birth. Those people whose natural habitat is a warm climate and who live an outdoor life, when transplanted to a colder environment and housed in unsanitary homes are most susceptible to the disease. Social and economic causes are the reasons for the increased susceptibility among Negroes. The past history of the child is important also; previous diseases such as measles, whooping cough and pneumonia make the lung fertile oil for the growth of the germ of tuberculosis. Ungraded milk, that is milk from cows that are not regularly inspected, may transmit the tubercle bacillus. One of the earliest signs of tuberculosis is continued fever; the fever which comes every afternoon and evening. Secondly, we find a disturbance in the nutrition; usually a stationary weight or a gradual loss of weight. Of course, not all children with these two symptoms have tuberculosis. We usually thing of tuberculosis as a disease of the lungs. The immediate site of infection may be the lungs, but the poison elaborated there affects every system in the body. Glands in the neck are another manifestation of tuberculosis, but not EVERY swollen gland is of tuberculous origin. The chronic form of enlarged glands, which are soft, non-tender with no change in the skin overlying, which condition later becomes a mass of softened material with abscess formation and which on being opened leaves a hole which constantly discharges pus off and on over a long period of time, is strong evidenced of tuberculosis. In a given case your doctor can distinguish the tuberculous from the non-tuberculous type of swollen gland. Diseased tonsile may also be the seat of tuberculous infection Tuberculosis may infect any part of the body. The most frequent parts are: lungs, glands in the neck and bronchial glands, the coverings of the lung, the intestines, the lining of the abdomen, the bones and joints, and the brain. I have seen numerous cases of tuberculosis of the brain recently. They are heart-rending, for it is usually impossible to determine the source of the infection and treatment is of no avail. If properly treated, early pulmonary tuberculosis in infants and children can be cured by rest in bed, proper food, sunlight or quartz light. I have used my office lamp recently on two children with early pulmonary findings with remarkably beneficial results. Medicines are of least importance. Regular examination and supervision of your child by a competent doctor and strict adherence to his advice will make for a successful outcome VOL. 42 No. 10 INDIRECT ELECTION RESULTS. While the direct result of the recent national election was to record the verdict of the majority of the voters in this country in favor of Herbert Hoover as the next President, there were a number of indirect results growing out of the contest, that are of much greater significance. Probably one of the most important of these was the demonstration that the solid South could be split from its oldtime allegiance to the Democratic party, or at least to the extent of repudiating a candidate winning the regular party nomination. The hoary saying that Southern Democrats would vote for anything or anybody wearing the party label, was for once discredited. While this emancipation of Southern whites from political serfdom was effective in only four of the states, Texas, Florida, Virginia and North Carolina, its influence was felt in the sister states that were not able to achieve their freedom from a similar condition of bondage to fear and deimagism. The Southern states that voted for Hoover showed that they had overcome their fear of the Negro, which has hitherto prevented the expression of any difference of opinion at the polls. The result also showed that there are other issues that have arisen in politics which have aroused greater emotions of hatred and opposition among Southern whites than their oldtime hatred of the blacks, whom they have robbed and oppressed. The votes cast in the South for the Republican candidate were not actuated by any love of Hoover or conversion to Republican theories, but were based on active aversion to his opponent and his departure from the stereotyped Democratic platform. In Texas the revolt from the Democratic ticket was attributed to prohibition and religion, with the women and the Klan strongly against Governor Smith. The upset in Virginia was engineered by the Ain't-Saloon league, with the aid of the Ku Klux. North Carolina was influenced the same way, with the added support of an element of business men who favored Republican policies from a material standpoint. In Florida a number of factors contributed to Democratic defeat among them being the influx of former Republicans who grabbed an opportunity to return to the old party. Then prohibition has been profitable for Florida from a business standpoint, so there was opposition to any effort at modifying the dry law. Noise of these Southern states that voted for Hoover can be safely classed as having turned Republican for the future, but they have demonstrated that the South, or a considerable fraction of it, can drop the mistaken idea that the Negro must be the supreme political issue in every campaign, despite the contention of Clark Howell in the Atlanta Constitution, and those who cling to his antiquated ideas. Deplorable as it may be to have bigotry and fanaticism figure as the chief factors in splitting the solid South, it is to be considered that any less powerful motives would have failed to accomplish the desired result. It was a case where fire was needed to cope with fire. The smouldering fire of racial intolerance could only be extinguished by the stronger fires of religious bigotry and canonical prohibition regulation. These elements were aided by the materialistic supporters of the law who profit from regulation and violation alike. The nomination of Governor Smith for the Presidency may be acclaimed from present indications as a measure destined to prove of benefit to the Negro. It gave the white South a chance to find out that it could achieve a greater hatred than the old grudge it has harbored against the Negro for over half a century. It made the South forget its fear of the hogy of Negro domination to wage war against the Pope and the Salodil. It may not make the South Republican right away, but it will convince the South that it can support two parties without incurring ruin and destruction. It will in time open the way for the Negro to vote and the South will be glad to have his vote count- The trip of Mr. Hoover to South America has been hailed as a means of strengthening the relations between this country and the Latin-American republics. That these relations need strengthening of some sort or another may be seen by the comment of one of the most influential journals of Rio Janeiro, in welcoming Mr. Hoover to Brazil which said: "This visit indicates that the Republican party is adopting a more amicable South American attitude. This is just a straw that shows the prevailing distrust of the friendliness of the United States, which was accentuated by the stifling of discussion at the last Pan-American Congress held at Havana. The delegates of Haiti were barred from this Congress, or not permitted to land, and the occupation of Nicaragua by American marines was not permitted to become a subject of discussion. The United States carried things with a high hand and got away with it, through the astute generalship of ex-Secretary Hughes, who was leader of the American delegation and really dominated the conference. But the representatives of such powers as Argentine, Chili and Brazil did not relish the waving of the Big Stick, even when wielded by so courteous a dictator as Mr. Hughes. Now, that the election has been held in Nicaragua and the opposition to the candidate supported by the American marines has won out, it would seem that there remains no further excuse for the maintenance of our armed forces in that republic. The result shows that it was only the show of force by the Americans that kept the existing government in power. As the only excuse for keeping the marines in Nicaragua was to supervise this election, the proper thing to do would be to ship them home as soon as the new President is inaugurated. Then there is Haiti, which is still ruled by an American High Commissioner, in the shape of a Brigadier General of Marines, despite the fact that the new constitution written by Franklin D. Roosevelt when Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Wilson, called for a popular election two or three years ago to restore autonomy. Why not have the marines supervise a popular election in Haiti and then evacuate the country, as Senator King of Utah has proposed by a Senate resolution? Until the United States has ceased to dominate and interfere in the administration of the weaker Latin-American states by force of arms, including marines, machine guns and bombing planes, there will continue to be doubts in all of South America as to the amicable attitude of the Republican party. RUNNING FOR CONGRESS After a lapse of more than a quarter of a century, the Negro has taken up the occupation of running for Congress again, with one success scored out of three starters this year. The successful aspirant this time is former Alderman Oscar DePriest of Chicago, who will take the seat felt vacant by the death of Congressman Madden of Chicago. The former Alderman was nominated through the backing of the Thompson machine, he having been a staunch supporter of the present Mayor and one of his ward leaders. Efforts were made to defeat his nomination at the primary, but in vain. Then he was indicted on the charge of taking part in the primary frauds, with the idea that he might be induced to withdraw from that race. But DePriest is not lacking in courage, and he keeps right on with his campaign, daring his enemies to do their worst. Commenting on DePriest's election the Brooklyn Eagle said editorially: After a lapse of more than a quarter of century, the Negro has taken up the occupation of running for Congress again, with one success scored out of three starters this year. The successful aspirant this time is former Alderman Oscar DePriest Chicago, who will take the seat felt caunt by the death of Congressman Madison of Chicago. The former Alderman was nominated through the backing of the philipson machine, he having been a launch supporter of the present Mayor and one of his ward leaders. Efforts were made to defeat his nomination at the primary, but in vain. Then he was indicted on the charge of taking part in the primary frauds, with the idea that he might be induced to withdraw from that race. But DePriest is not lacking in courage, and he kept right on with his campaign, arising his enemies to do their worst. Commenting on DePriest's election the Brooklyn Eagle said editorially: However, Negro clergymen and progressive thinkers will undoubtedly regret the fact that the Congressman-effect is a man three "times indicted" for sponsoring graff and vice, and still under one indictment. De Priest was picked by the Ward Committee men, under direction of "Big Bill" Thompson, Bishop A. J. Carey, a member of the Gun Squad. Social Committee, as down. So Was Roscoe C. Simmons, who had made a creditable record as Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago. So were Alderman L. B. Anderson and Stae Sseator. Adellert H. Roberts. Any one of them would perhaps have been more satisfactory to a majority of the Negroes of Chicago. De Priest, however, had served the Illinois his political life in the Dan Jackets. A member of the Illinois Commerce, Commission, but August by Governor Len Small, who is Thompson's friend. Whatever may be the defects of De Priest, he would probably make as good a congressman as any of the others named, except perhaps Senator Roberts, who has legislative experience and character, that De Priest will contribute to vigorably Whatever may be the defects of De Priest, he would probably make as good a Congressman as any of the others named, except perhaps Senator Roberts, who has both legislative experience and character. At that De Priest will compile favorably with many of the Congressmen sent from New York and Chicago. "One has only to recall the fact that John Morrissey, Tim Sullivan" and W. R. Hearst were sent to Correns from New York. In order to realize that DePriest will not suffer by comparison with some of his competitors and recent predecessors. In New York City Edward A. Johnson received some forty-five thousand votes, enough to have elected four or five Congressmen in his native state of North Carolina. But his Democratic opponent, Royal H. Weller, polled a majority of nearly twelve thousand over Johnson, who went down to defeat after a gallant fight. This is the same district that was contested by Dr. Charles H. Roberts four years ago with the same result. Nevertheless, the time is coming when a member of the race will be elected as a Representative from this district. A significant incident in this game of running for Congress was the nomination by the Democrats of a young colored lawyer named McLemore for Congress in St. Louis, to run against Congressman Dyer, the author of the anti-lynching bill. McLemore polled the full Democratic vote, it is reported, but the majority of the colored voters supported Dyer, who was reelected. If Missouri Democrats can vote for a Negro for Congress on the Democratic ticket, it would seem that most any political trick is possible, if played in the right way. So far he holds that Harlem has been misrepresented and maligned by both plays and novels. Only the decadent side of vice and night life are stressed in most of these productions. The producers and the publishers in their selling zeal fail to announce that they are only portraying a phase of Harlem life and an incohised enflated phase of life. Instead, they deal in generalities and as Mr. Walton indignantly says, "libel the thousands of God-fearing clean living, lawabiding citizens" by proclaiming their wares "a true picture of Negro life in Harlem." That there is a measure of truth in this charge must be admitted by all those who are familiar with the pictures of Harlem life given in such plays as "Lulu Belle" and the novels by Carl Van Vechten and Claude McKay. But the intelligent reader is always aware of the fact that a work of fiction, while it may be founded on facts, cannot give all the facts and at best can only depict a phase of life among a certain group of people. No one with any degree of common sense would be justified in judging the whole of Harlem by a love chapters "laken at random from either of the writers named, any more than the play represents the normal life of Negroes." This campaign marks the beginning of a new era for the Negro in politics. Henceforth, we must depend more on power and less on sentiment. Our greatest seats, of power will be the Negro's group in the city of Chicago, St. Louis, a "insburgh, Louisville, Kansas, City, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Memphis. Even in the larger southern cities there will be more and more, in the future greater opportunities for political activity on the part of Negroes, who are the archaic cultural enemy, system there. In the urban Negro districts we can and should have Negro adultmen, judges, leslie legislative representatives and other officials, and from each of the larger centers, of Negro population we ought to send a Negro Congressman to Washington every term regarding the only way we can wield any political influence in this country. We have vastly tried protests, petitions and appeals to sentiment, history, tradition and materialism. It is now high time for us to be severely practical. Let us organize ourselves 100 people in control of the troopage available and fill every elective office possible with Negroes. This is the procedure followed by every other group and it has proved eminently successful. Experience has shown "that our "irritants" in Congress and other political offices are far from dependable. Let us be intelligent enough from now on, to vote for them." But it may be urged there are many white people who know of the life of Negroes only, through such productions, and hence class all of the race in the same category. The only remedy for that is to give them better plays, showing another side of Negro life and better books. Unfortunately, the books and plays that seek to set forth this better side of Negro life and character have so far failed to get a favorable hearing or wide circulation. There is something missing in their ingredients which keeps them from mhaking a record run or a best seller. The ordinary life of the clean living and lawnbiding citizen, be jie colored or white, does not readily lend itself to dramatic representation or the development of a literary masterpiece. "To invest the commonplace and the everyday experiences of the ordinary human being with such vital interest as to make a living drama or a gripping story is a venture that might challenge the efforts of our budding playwrights and filmmakers. Something has been accomplished along these lines by two or three of our writers, who have shown sound psychology in their character drawing and carried their stories to a logical conclusion. But the big success is yet to come along these lines. The writers who have already given us 'Quicksand,' 'There Is Confusion,' 'Flight' and 'The Walls of Jericho,' may be looked for to follow up these early successes by a fuller and higher conception of the life and aspirations of the race, which will command general attention." The only way to carry out such a program is to begin 'in' once to prepare for the for the next campaign. Motors 'who do not take the trouble to register before' and 'electors cannot elect a Congressman or even a constituent. Commenting on the Appeal to America issued during the recent campaign, 'protesters' against the tie prejudice 'infected into' the ties, the Boston Chronicle said: The millions of Negro voters ought to take a view that the time is ripe, for organized, effective political organization., Units, and with it solidity and power, will make for the expect of all parties.

Hol Hal Hal Hal! shouted two Negro people in a receiving city station. They pursued them, their love, went off with spasms of laughter. They possessive breaths and bent wight on again. They started to speak and doubled them. Pretty soon everybody around them joined in laughing. With to children the job the police had, and children, fostered society and tried business men all caught the infection, and while their absence was not as noisy in its mercy, everybody was put into a happy mood. That was a good example of the truth of the saying, "Laugh and the world laughs with you." Man has been given the privilege of "laughing". Animals never laugh. Even the 'donkey' who says "Hee Haw!" is really not laughing and grabs on animals' faces; do not mean that they are enjoying a joke. Whales are really a "serious lot". Children laugh easily. The nurtur of school boys and girls, who often irritably sly, to grown-ups is, really, sign of health. Wholesome arguments goes with natural youth. Why should boys laugh, should laugh less? Enjoyment makes a difference, and the habit...of laughing, usually runs in families. Why, it is a good habit? Why, should we not, derive as much benefit as possible from this privilege of enjoying laughter? "We all know, too, that the liver needs to be 'shaken up' at frequent intervals. "Bile is manufactured in the liver and it must be kept flowing freely. Bile is a necessary aid in the digestion of food. A sluggish liver will not manufacture a sufficient flow and digestion will not be efficient. That is why it is good to keep the stomach open. The stomach, the pancreas, the spleen and the intestines, also are preoccupied by the up and down movements of the diaphragm to stir them up. Laughter improves the digestion and oftens is an excellent substitute for laxative medicines. The 'lungs', however, are the organs: most affected, by laughter. Large drafts of air are drawn in and out of the lungs during the process, and in that, way they are expanded increasing the air control, sometimes by one-half more than normal Gusts of laughter increase the intake of breaths. That is why people with tuberculosis who must rest their lungs in order for them to be not advanced, to be too tired, nor to indulge in heartily laughter. Laughter then, has a real effect, however, that laughter alone will not cure organic sickness. You cannot laugh off germs. The laughter that comes from within is the best tonic on the world and that can only when a person has no submerged worries. In order to be sure of your health why not let your doctor examine? Have a physical examination period. Your health is it even better, by knowing a better truth and have a chance to realise matters than we now and feel about the unknown. The worrying mind can never derive the proper benefit from a good, healthy laugh. To teach them need for people physical examination in order to sit away with worrying about tuberculosis Association and its affiliated associations; help them the best of tuberculosis.

CHURCH St. Paul Baptist Church Last week was the first in six weeks, or, in fact, the first week since the new church edifice was completed, that the church, as such, had the opportunity to settle down to its regular work in a regular way. Every pastor, as well as every leader of many organizations in a church, know how difficult it is to get things going smoothly and strongly, after so long a period. However, although a regular rehearsal on Tuesday night last, by reason of the fact that they accompanied the pastor to Union Baptist Church, to sing in service there, yet, they got together a very excellent program of music for Sunday. The young people of the B. Y. P. U. were-not out as they were expected to be on Wednesday night for the reason, we understand, they were busy rehearsing for the play on November 21st. The projected program of Wednesday night promises to take of unusual interest; as Rev W. Boon, assistant curate, St. Phillips College, will be the speaker. Other features, including the discussion and the music, are also of interesting character. Friday night the pastor gave the talk at the prayer service, 'calling attention' to the Scriptural injunctions about prayer, and the promises made respecting prayer.

"Sunday the pastor preached at 11 a.m." "The Call to Go up to God." The choir at the same service provided a most pleasing toin by Miss Julia A. Booker. She sang "History on the sparrow," with telling effect. "The Sunday School, for the first time, tried to get down to real work." The various teachers, for the most part, were in their places, and the class was dispersed throughout the basement "of" the church. This arrangement is having its effect, for we notice that the Kindergarten chairs, bought especially for the tots, are already inadequate to seat them. Sunday evening was notable by reason of the 24th anniversary of the Grand Order of Fishermen of Galilee of Eastern and Western Hemisphere National Ground Master, T. W. Turner, had undertaken a service before the dedicatory services, and the occasion was looked forward to with anticipations of a large crowd. These expectations were met, for they came like the sand of the sea. After the regular program, the pastor delivered the message on the Fishermen of Men's Mission, and the students of the Solst, and was generously remembered by the Order. Altogether, it was a very helpful service. They left the largest single offerings of any organization that has been unto our new church home. But Sunday there will be preaching morning and evening, with baptizing in the afternoon. We are very glad to say that each Sunday since we have been in our new edifice we have taken in new members. Rendali Memorial Church Sunday, November 11, in addition to being Armistice Day was also observed as the ninth anniversary of the organization of Rendall as a church. The pastor, Dr. Thomas J. B. Harris, spoke on Monday, the 19th day of The Gobarital Men's Club, Arthur Collymmer, president, presented an afternoon program of choice musical selections and another literary and musical program in the evening at which time short addresses were made by Jesse D. Phillips, John B. Thorne, Robert Epps and James C. Denham, Mine, Essie Love' Queen, dramatic, reader-entered a selection; musical entered a selection; love and Miss Stackman accompanied the piano by Miss Pearson, organist of the church. Four persons were received into the church as members: Mrs. Lula Lewis, Mrs. Tillie Epson, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Johnson. The two great grand children' of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Johnson received baptism. Holt McCormick was commemorated at the morning service. Visitors at the morning service included Dr. Wm. R.' Lawton and Rev. Calvin Lane. St. Martin's Chapel Armistice Day was fittingly observed at St. Martin's with a wonderful sermon by Bishop Herbert Shiman who was a chaplain in the war. A detachment of the 36th Infantry and about twenty nurses from the Army of the Coast Guard unit were guests. Bishop Shiman in the course of his sermon praised the valor and courage of our soldiers in the war. The time is far distant when we can give up preaderness, for there are times when we must meet force with force, albeit with great difficulty against war. This last statement was forcibly brought out by the lessons for our everyday life, namely, the chances of losing our possession by fire is 100 to 1 yet we carry fire insurance on our property. The same applies to our being held up and robbed by things but we have the right to defend the officer of protection. Bishop Shiman believes firmly in preparedness for protection and safety. The attendance at the morning service filled the church and many stood up all during the service. There were three baptisms following the service. The evening, prayer at 8 p.m., was well attended and soon we expect a capacity attendance at this service. 2nd 7th Day Adv. Church "Public prayers; temple prayers; family prayers and private prayers are set forth in the Holy Bible but no particular one of these is more important and are private prayers. So declared 'Stratton to his congregation last Saturday morning.' The theme of the hour was "Private Prayers." The minister chose for his text the sixth chapter sixth chapter of Matthew and John, declared thus: "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet and shut thy door."

The missionaries of Refuge are carrying on their work and meetings with renewed spirit and enthusiasm which is very evident in their Monkship.

U. was privileged to hear the story and appeal of a young Russian student at the American Bible Institute. He told of his experience and gled to get permission from the Soviet government 40 do Christian evangelization work. A grant to print and distribute 500,000 New Testaments aids 500,000 Bibles has just been received and the Russian Christians are at work in this country and elsewhere trying to raise funds to get these Bibles into the hands of people before the expiration date for the grant. This famine of God's Word in Russia was closely akin to the sermon, "What Signs Have You Left?" preached by Rev. James B. Adams, from the fifth chapter of Amos, at the evening service. In response to the sermon, water of spirit, Ouadhail and one hundred prophets had compromised with the king Ahad, and his sheathen wife Jezebel, Ezhah, who dared stand on his word was exiled. He left the print of his knees in the sands of the desert, praying for a sign of rain. It game, but not unturned, saw the saint of spirit and Babies come Russia or, in America until someone leaves his sign, the print of his knees in the sands. All last-week and again this week a stall of volunteers and experts is working in the church office preparing letters and file cards for an Every Member's Canvas which follow the sermon. The Service of Friday evening, this time, is fed fellowship, a rain of the spirit, not money, this time. Recently two gifts of value have been received, one of $200, from an elderly woman in the church, another, a supply of *Bibles* for use by the children in the missionary group from Mrs. Luey Cralle.

The adoption and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most uncontrollable and helpful but one part of what he did to do his purpose to radiate from a center like Tuskegee the light of the innermost but ever living truths which must form the basis of real advance for the race or for any race—WILLIAM HOWARD TAFF, Fifth Justice United States Supreme Court.

HOWARD HOWARD DOWNS STRONG ATLANTA UNIVERSITY TEAM Atlanta, Ga.-Alabama and Howard Universities played a hard game that was full of fight from, beginning to end in Spiller's field here last Saturday. All of the scoring was done in the second quarter. The Crimson Hurricane was the first to score by a pass from Edwards to Wiggins and Wiggins rammed over the remaining four yards for the touchdown and then he kicked a goal making the score 7 to 0 in favor of Atlanta. Then Howard got busy made her first score in a similar fashion by a pass from Ross to Coles. Howard kept up her baffling passes and made another score in the second quarter which ended by a score of 13 to 7 in favor of Howard. The 2nd half opened with a fierce attack from the Crumson Hurricane that swept down the field to Howard's goal line and there she made a pass that was perfect over the Howard goal line, but the field judge ruled that it was caught out of the end zone line so that it could not count for Atlanta. That would have made the score to 13. The third and the fourth quarters ended with terrific efforts by each team to make one more touchdown. Howard did not feel that she had a safe margin and Atlanta was fighting desperately to even matters before the last whistle. Atlanta made seven first downs as against ten by Howard; Atlanta made five first passes out of nine against nine and tried by Howard.

The first quarter started as a pimming duel until the middle when Fisk started a line drive from their own 10-Yard line. The line plunging of Thornhill and end running of Yost placed the ball on the 20-yard line where Cox broke through for touchdown. Yost failed to drop for the extra point. The quarter ended in a pimming duel. The second quarter started with Fisk on Talladega's 40-yard line. After driving to the 10-yard line, Fisk's fumble gave Talladega chance to advance to the 30-yard line where Yyst intercepted Bragg's pass. Fisk's next drive brought the ball to the 5-yard line. A pass falling in the end zone gave Talladega the ball on 20-yard line. Aided by a penalty for clipping, the Degans drove and slashed their way to Fisk's 5-yard line when the half ended. At the outset of the second half, Yost aided by a 10-yard lift from Thornhill advanced the ball for touchdown in three broken field runs after receiving the kickoff on the 5-yard line and advancing to the 36-yard line. Then can Thornhill's 10-yard plunge to the 46-yard line. Yost scampered to Talladega's 19-yard line. Fisk was penalized 15-yards for holding, placing the ball on the next play on the 34-yard line. Yost ran the 34 yards for touchdown and drop kicked for extra point. Talladega's next drive ended with Fisk in possession of the ball on their own 5-yard line. The scoring (for the day was done when Talladega failed to score after a baffling air attack. Bragg's passes to James endangered Fisk at all times. Bragg and James gained best around Fisk's ends and Johnson never failed to add through the Bulldog line. Yost was king-pin in Fisk's offense. Thornhill and Cox also gainen consistenlta Gager, from Hutchison, Gager, on Tate dega's, line with Wills, Kilgore and FOURTH ANNUAL DANCE Tuskegee Tigers Down Morehouse --- Tuskegee, Ala. — Tuskegee defeated Morehouse 20-0 here Saturday in one of the hardest fought games of the season. Morehouse led in offensive playing during the first half. On several occasions Morehouse came near scoring but each time failed. Tuskegee found it impossible to gain through the Maroon line while Moseley and James dashed through their line for nice gains. The half ended 0-0. Early in the third quartet, a Tuskegee linesman docked. Moseley's punt and raced across the goal for the first tally with day after. After this Morehouse came with excellent fight bet they could not stop the runs of Shandlin and Stevinson who dashed through the line and around the ends for long gains. Soon Tuskegee backs had carried the ball over for two more touchdowns. Although the Maroon team was greatly handicapped by the loss of Edmonds fleet half-back who was seriously injured on the second play after the kick off they fought hard and did well to hold Tuskegee during the first half. Stevenson of Tuskegee made some wonderful runs for about 40 yards, as he twisted and squirmed through the Morehouse line. The game was clean and hard, and was played under ideal football weather.

"Beggers of Life" At The Roosevelt Theatre A Childlike belief in the pot of gold at the rainbow's end is responsible for the existence of a half million tramps in the United States today, according to Jim Tully, who emerged from hoboland a few years ago to become one of America's outstanding authors. "Nearly all of us feel that things would break better for us in some other part of the country," says Tully "but we seldom break the ties that hold us to one spot. The hobo has no ties and he is always on the move. "Tramps sit around a campfire in a California hobo jungle and agree that things are opening up" in Vancouver or in the South, or somewhere else. At the same moment there are groups of these wanderers in Vancouver and in the South agreeing that California or the North is the place where they will find their fortune. "Utopia, where the police hand a dollar to every tramp, where free lunches and free beer are offered at every corner, is always some place else, generally at the farthest part of the county." ACROSS THE FOOTLIGHTS ACROSS THE FOOTLIGHTS By LESTER A. WALTON (From The Southern Workman) A veteran newspaper man on the staff of a New York daily attended a performance of "Porgy." Next day, commenting on the faithful portrayal of Dixie scenes in the play, he inquired of me: "Were the people brought from Charleston?" When informed that the cast was made up of New York Negroes, most of whom live in Harlem, he expressed surprise. His impression was that native black South Carolinians had been transplanted to Broadway and turned loose before the footlights to deport themselves. The veteran newspaperman is not the only white person to entertain such fanciful and erroneous impressions. He has plenty of company. The Negro actor seldom is given deserved credit for genuine exhibition of artistry. To many theatre-goers he appears less in the role of an actor and more a one depicting a phase of life of which he is $^{2}$ part. The presumption$^{3}$ exists that these characterizations are pictured with little or no artistic effort by lifelong products of a particular environment. The truth is, Negro actors have to be rehearsed and, rehearsed; for usually the parts they essay to represent dramatically are unfamiliar to them. There are as many and varied Negro types in real life as there are white types. All Negroes do not think, talk and act the same. As for speaking with aptitude and facility, Negro dialect, very often confused with idioms of expression, is often used in American either on or off the stage can lay claim to such distinction. To be able to read Dunbars poems written in dialect is considered an acquired art. A Negro reared in New York, who attends its up-to-date public schools where English, French and Spanish are taught in the upper grades, and whose daily contacts are with urbanites of different races, cannot take up speaking Negro dialect with the ease and celerity of a duck to water; nor, just because his skin is dark, should be expected without some study and application to mirror convincingly the doings and customs of his people living unsophisticated lives on Southern farms and in small backward communities. Some colored actors cannot speak Negro dialect, no matter how hard they try. Olyve P. Hopkins, a trained singer, who played the part of Madam Jones in "Meek Mose" experienced so much difficulty the director found it necessary to give her the role of beauty specialist from New York. Miss Hopkin, by the way, was one of the darkest members of the cast which shatters another fallacy. A producer of plays dealing with Negro life faces two alternatives. Either he must cater to, prevailing impressions of what white people in general think of how Negroes talk and deport themselves, or portray characters more in keeping with the Negro's own conceptions of himself and his environment. Three white friends voluntarily outlined to me situations for a good Negro play". Each enthusiastically stressed a craps game. Perhaps they are not far wrong in their visualization, for the two Negro plays to score the biggest successes on Broadway in recent years have given vivid pictures of ebony stories to stories telling the book much gusto. The realist is therefore confronted with legends about Negro life which appeal to the imagination and react on the public mind very much the same as do characters in fair tales on children. Every one of our twelve million colored Americans is supposed to be naturally, endowed with a good singing voice. Everyone, even the lame and the rheumatic, is expected to dance the Charleston, Black Bottom and Essence with agility and 'abandon. Twentyfour hours of the day he is to appear a true exponent of pep, gayety and sprightliness, diffusing smiles and morsels of humor (Although all Negro plays' presented on Broadway except one have shown the race in a possimistic, tragic mood.) All Negroes must be intimately associated with craps and razors, and the belief persists that each and every one possesses an inordinate fondness for chicken and watermelon which borders on an obsession. Yet both the chicken and watermelon industry would go into bankruptcy tomorrow if they depended chiefly on Negro patron-to the public for support. It age. These legends and many more have a direct bearing on the production of a Negro play catering may be they are largely responsible for the attitude of New York dramatic critics, whose knowledge of Negro life in its broadest aspects is for the most part elemental. Few colored dramatic or musical shows have been produced in the last six years that some critics have not uttered the plaint that members of the cast did not act like Negroes. Aside from such a general indictment, which has become a stock phrase, not one of the critical gentlemen has ever made himself clear as to how, in his judgment, a Negro ought to acquit himself on the stage so as to be regarded as the genuine article. In colored musical shows chorus girls are engaged for their singing and dancing ability. So long as they are Negroes, no special attention is paid to the color of their skin. There are critics who even take exception to the presence of girls of light complexion and do not refrain from making condescension to "high yellows" and "meat whites". Yet were these young women to conceal their racial identity there would he a great outlay about their "passing for white". To what extent one's conception of the Negro in every-day life has on evaluating the calibre of acting done by Negroes is reflected in the diverse opinions given by dramatic critics following the premier performance of a race play on Broadway by Neero Thespians The conclusion one draws from these mental attitudes, so much at variance, is that the formation of opinions in question is predicted on the respective beliefs entertained as to how Negroes ought to act on and off the stage. Many white writers, especially in the North, base their knowledge of twelve million people on their limited contact with one or two Southern Toons during the Southern dramatist who has given the stage plays dealing with the Negro has chosen to depict the race at its worst—stark tragedy! At no time sounded. Harlem has been misrepresented and maligned by plays and novels. No wonder well-meaning white people of all sections get an improper perspective of the world's largest Negro community! Only the decadent side-vice and night life are stressed. The producers and publishers in their zeal to sell their wares to the public do not truthfully-advertise that they are portraying a phase of Harlem life at an innotsequential phase at all. Instead, deal in generalities and libel the thousands of God-fearing, clean-living, law-abiding citizens by proclaiming: "A true picture of Negro Life in Harlem." Neither the stage nor the novel is doing what it should to convince white Americans that many of their views about the colored American are incorrect and do not square with the facts. They seem to be contributing to the welter of preconceived impressions. We both need a stage function as a powerful medium in helping bring about a better understanding between two races destined to live side by side in America. For not only does the stage entertain; it educates. Lafayette Theatre In a season of great motion pictures, the one that seems to stand out as the greatest of all is "The King Of Kings" the pathetic, inspiring, spectacular story of Christ as pictured by the matchless genius of Cecil B. De Mille, producer of "The Ten Commandments" and other unforgettable screen dramas. "The King Of Kings" is being presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week as the photoplay feature of the greatest stage and screen programs seen in Harlem in many months. Sixteen stars of first brilliance and five thousand character actors are the most of the "The King Of Kings". It is the most soul-stirring story of all time exceeding anything that has gone before for aebre drama, superb acting and spectacular splendor. This might picture was one year in the making and cost nearly three million dollars. Every member of the family should age Three Hundred and Sixty-Ninth Infantry (Old 15th Regiment, N. Y. N. G.)

The stage show being presented this week at the Lafayette Theatre is Jesse H. Shipp's "Sundown" a rollicking, melodious musical farce. Shipp is one of the oldest and ablest of the authors and producers of the colored stage. He is the author of most of Williams' and Walker's biggest successes. He has remained in comparative retirement recently until invited by the management of the Lafayette Theatre to stage "Sundown" which he wrote some time ago. Shipp's new musical comedy is the story of a small town bootlegger who carries on his business, and of an understaking parlor. Humorous situations are hard to imagine. When the bootlegger gets trapped in a hotel, the fun runs riot. The scenes in the Country Lane and the street carnival are staged remarkably well. The singing is as good as that recently heard in "Deep Harlem" the dancing is excellent, the chorus is beautiful and talented, the comedians are very funny, and the orchestra plays some very sweet music. A cast of some forty-five splendid players are in the cast of "Sundown", including Garland Howard, Mae Brown, Sonny Lee, Al Young, Flo Brown, Cecil Rivers, Ada Banks, Andrew Copeland, Agnes Allen, Leo Boatner, Coley Grant, Charles Moore and the wonderful dancing and comedy team of Cutout and Leonard. The reviewer heartily recommends this week's show at the Lafayette Theatre as one of the finest three and one-half hours' of entertainment to be found anywhere in this city.

David Moffitt, Caldwell of Brooklyn, who appeared in a panel seminar at the J. David Moffitt Academy of Music desert hall on October 30, in which the charge of inconsiderate is made. In his letter Prof. Caldwell said: There is no answer, on my part, to the statement that "Of all the pianists there, none said I had an 'uneven, technique,' or if Mr. Caldwell has spoken to 'all the pianists there,' this statement is evidently based on fact. At any rate, it was not the "pianists there" who had the task of presenting, their friendly and tactful expressions to the readers of "In the Realm of Music," it was my ungrateful call to present my sincere and unbiased opinion of the pianistic work of Lydson, Hoffman, Caldwell, the pianist, not of Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell, the friend. I am afraid that the desire, expressed to "hear your (my) piano recital" will have to be unattained, whether it is intended as a friendly wish, or a sarcastic fling. Now, with due modesty and in response to the insistence of several musical friends, but perhaps with a sneaking sense of contrast, I will print a letter which was sent me on October 20 last, by Dr. Alexander Russell, concert director of the Wanamaker Auditorium at Broadway and 81st street, and official organist for Princeton University, referring to a review in this column of an organ recital in the Wanamaker Auditorium played by Fernando Germani, organist of the Auguste Orchestra Rome, Italy, on October 18, Dr. Russell wrote as follows: Thank you for your kindness North Age of Saturday, October Germany's organ recital."

HALL JOHNSON APPEARS AT CARNEGIE HALL JOHNSON APPEARS AT CARNEGIE By CARL DITON The Hall Johnson Negro Oboi, appeared last Saturday evening at Carnegie Hall in conjunction with Josef Hoffmann, one of the greatest piano virtuosos of all ages; Martha Phillips, soprano, introduced to the audience as Jeby Lifft the "It! Mafia! Lishzatz! violinist-composer; William H. Margrave, baritone; Segegdian Alvin C.'Work, the renowned individual-World War II hero; and Kathryn Kein and Walter Gold, accompanist, all cooperating in what was known as the Tenth Anniversary Armistice' Celebration' under the auspices of the Capt. Belvidere Brooks 'Post No. 500' American Legion. The Hall Johnson Choir made 'his characteristically fine impression and was very warmly received.' It sings with excellent ensemble and very fine diction coupled with lightning ravaged, surely a model especially for other Negro organizations in this respect. Several members took blits of, color parte one of, these being, the possessor of a very beautiful voice. To the thinking Negro, however, who probably knew how to appreciate this, his pathos of Negro music more so than the Caucasian, it would, likely not be, so clear why the Spirituals were taken so rapidly and why so much effort, should be made to inject humor into them by this organization. This is believe, is the explanation: the audiences that have raised the status of this fine organization and who alone give it economic support, have within their constituency people who are interested in the ordinary untutored Negro voice and so the Hall Johnson Choir 'must retain two types of Negro voices that everybody he pleased. The organization beyond a doubt served an fine bridge between the popular classic numbers that were rendered by the diverse soloists and the final address of Sergeant York, Tennessee mountainer; who in the course of his remarks in behalf of the financial support of schools he is fostering in the county in which he was reared not only ruined The King's English but frankly told the audience that he realized he, was 'doing it.' Dr. Walter Damrosch as master of ceremonies spoke very warmly of Negro music and I have ever reason to believe that he was sincere as I passed him seeking Hall Johnson in the stage entrance after *My dear Mr. White; the concert he smiled at me so pleasantly. I know that he did not recognize me for it had it been fourteen years since I met him! But he saw the faces of a Negro and his amish made me feel more convinced than ever that he is really and truly the grand old man of American music. ST. MARK'S CHOIR SINGS IN BROOKLYN On last Friday evening, the St. Philippe Protestant Episcopal Church of Brooklyn prohibited the St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church of New York City at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in a presentation of "College Taylor," a well ambitious, choral triumph "Milwaukee," before a moderate-sized racially mixed audience. The soloists were Minnie Brown, soprano, George Edward Sidmon, tenor, and Benjamin John Ragdale, baritone. The accompanists were Sohna Taffey and Lydin Masoy. E. Idama Jackson, organist and chordist of St. Mark's and associate member of the American Guild of Organists, conducted. The curtain rose about forty-eight minutes past the appointed hour revealing an attractive looking chorus of approximately seventy-five voices, the female voices grouped in the center with the male voices on either side. Every conductor is privileged to establish his own tempos but there may be a question as to whether or not there was some exaggeration on Friday evening, the slow parts being too slow, and the fast parts too fast. At any rate, we feel quite certain that a fine opportunity was lost to atone for the weak attacks and the faulty duction that prevailed throughout at the end of the second part in the singing of the Barwell, Minnechah chorus by dragging the tenipa, at the beginning of the second part and at the end of the third part where the chorus began to show fatigue from its herculean task. Real artistic shading is oply noticeable here and there, the vowel "w" was at times harsh, the high notes of the soprano section were not only flat but white, the basses had to be prompted by the accompanists and one tenor and one mezzo-soprano protruded, altho, must confess that the latter's voice was so truly beautiful that this sin of commission could easily be forgiven. Nor did she men especially watch their tale, conductor nearly, as much as they might have. Notwithstanding, this the choral ensemble was good as was also the general tone throughout, altho not strong. The first part was probably the best of all, with the very beautiful and touching "Chibabo" chorus. The declamation in the second part was very distinct and "By the shore of Glichekoomee" (we shall not be responsible for the correct spelling of Indian names, since the names of the choruses did not appear on the official program) was very effective. The soloists all exhibited beautiful voices, especially Mr. Simmons aside from a little tendency to be throaty, occasional slips in breathing and a alight tenseness when approaching the upper register. Mr. Rugsdale kept a few of his hones back and seemed at variance, with his accompanist in two or three instances as to time but his singing of "Farewell, Minnechaha" was, very dramatic and full of much feeling. Miss Brown, however, probably exhibited the most training in the delivery of very silvery tonesin the middle voice and in her very clean diction. Miss Talley and Miss Mason, two of the finest pianists in the country among the younger generation, accompanied the chorus with excellent ensemble and with special aptitude for, prompting the singers when they evidently were not sure of their parts. Mr. Jackson very capably conducted the entire affair and probably did not realize that the acoustics of the auditorium permitted the faintest whisper to be heard. Consequently such warrings, as "sh", "Everybody sit down? Hit that note," fell upon the ears of the auditors as well as upon those of the chorus. All in all the performance of this was work in many ways one of the finest launched by Negroes anywhere in the country and should therefore be considered from certain angles as a model.

All one has to do to observe this is to stand around and listen, to their conversations. “And the striking feature about the whole matter js tha: many/of those who ‘indulge in’ this disparagement ‘dre dld port- es in the service. Anyone familiar with the Pullman service can readily understand the attitude of the new porter, aiid why he is apt ao be pessimistic concerning his job, but to hear a porter who has been jo the service for twenty or thirty years decrying his o€cipation, strikes fone as being nothing short of idiocy. . The writer doesn't mean to say that the porter should be smug. \iuith the working conditions of his job, whether Ke feels so Gr not. “hat is not the implication by any means; for-whether: he has been ‘le the service one year or twenty years, the porter, like aify other work: “ee, is morally as well as economically justified not only in expressing ‘Eiutstuction with the conditions under which he works, but ir-trying te improve those conditions. On the other hand, there is consider: | pile difference between dissatisfaction and disparagement. One may Ve discontented wtih a thing and yet not belittle that thing. When one™attempts to belittle his mode of earning a livehhood, pae is no better, certainly no wiser, than thé husband who speaks vightingly of his wife’but continues to live with her. In such cases Phe husband ‘not only makes a fool of himself in his own household, ut he is judged a fool-by those on the outside, By the same, token fs the man judged who disparages his job, but continues to siay on Wat job. : Ss A good illustration of this job. disparagement came to tle atten: tuon of the writer recently. There were two porters one was about nine or ten ytars in the service, and the other had about twenty-five years to bis credit, They were having some words between thgmselves. To pierce the pride of the older porter, the younger one resorted to personalities, and, as a final thrast, he said to the senior porter: “If you had any pride or mentality in your’makeup you wouldn't have deea a Pullman porter for twenty-five years.” It is needless to say the sibe had the desired effect. -The weapon the younger man em- ployed was farnished by the older man. Perhaps, not by him person- ally, but by some other old porter, in belittling: bis: vocation.- ~*~ ~ Oi course, not%¥very veteran porter is so unsophisticated 1m the! tater, nor would everyone hive been so easily punctured as was this particular porter. Some of these sober ones would have come back with a retort something like this: “That's all right, but you have been here ten yeais and, if the company allows you, you will be here just w long as I have,” which retort would bave been nearer to truth than to poetty, and is somewhat borne out by the following observation: There were three of them, all extrx porters. | The youngest in service bad"|ght years to his credit, the Other tw nine years cach, They were speaking on certain phases of the service when one of the uine-year men remarked: "I never expécted to stay in the Pullman versice this long, I came in just to stay during the summer months, and here I bave been for nine years.” “W's the same story with me,” chorused the other two, almost in texson, va 5 + Now these were only three out of twelve thousand Pullman por- ters, three thousand of whom, may be safe to say are contented to work as extra men, Hence, deprecating the job is not bettering it. The only thing that that does is to make those who indulge in the practice, and still follow it as a means of livelihood, appear fuolish Paying Their Last Respects In the article above we spoke of what, we considered, one,ot the ‘rtors of the portér group. But there is another side to this group, aside which is worthy of emulation by any group of workers. It is paying their last respects to a comrade. . Peter Wilson, who was best known among his fellow-workers as plan “Pete”, was laid to rest in that city of the dead, Woodlawn Cemetery, on Monday, November 5, and outside of the immediate family of the deceased, none paid his passing more respect than the Pullman porters with whom he bad worked, During life, the deceased was not a man of whom you would ‘peak as’ beirig popular among his fellow men, Men of his type are never persons of popularity. They go thei way through life in an unas- soming manner, but the friends they make are usually steadfast friends, Sot was with "Pete" Wilsoa, “He was a man who kept himself aloof. Some said he was morose Others said ‘be was selfish, But to his poricr irtends he was neither, He simply was one of those men whom you had’ to know well to discover their admirable points. ‘The deceased had many, of these characteristics, and those who came into close contact. with him appreciated them. Most of these ‘Were the “boys” who run to Boston over the New Haven Lines. In the first months of the illness which resulted in his death, these friends, headed by Eugenie Stokien, Peter Davis, and other well known porters fn the New Haven, rallied to his aid. Last week when bis bédy lay ‘fi Duncan Brothers Funeral Parlors, these Boston "Boys", as they arc ‘called,’came and paid their Inst re apects ; 2h And ay a token of sympathy from them to hy bereaved family, A Broken Wheel, symbolic garland of the ‘passing of those who have Jong “ndden the rails, was among the floral pieces received Thee paid their lagt respects to a passing fellow-worker On Having Many Friends dam freeman of the Pullman Welfare Departinent, has too many frends, sow seems, Several wgeks ago, Mr, Freeman gaye an in- formal dinner to which he had invited a score or so of his friends.
