Citizens Commend Expose By The Age of Discriminatory Conditions At The New Presbyterian Hospital Editor of The Age Asks North Harlem Medical Association To Meet and Appoint Committee To Make Strong Protest To The Hospital The New York Age has been commended from various sources for its fearless expose of race discrimination alleged to have been practiced at the new Medical Center of which the Presbyterian Hospital is the main activity, and which refused to admit Mrs. Martha Hill Brown, wife of the Rev. Dr. James W. Brown of Mother Zion Church, to a private room for treatment. Several of the colored physicians have been seen and asked for a statement concerning the alleged prejudicial attitude of the hospital authorities, and all of them have, in strong terms, declared that such action is inimical to best interests of the race and should be thoroughly and immediately investigated. pital, decrying the discriminatory act, and urging the taking of proper steps to correct the unfortunate incident. This letter was replied to by Dean Sage, president, who wrote Mr. Holstein as follows: Not Open For Discussion The Presbyterian Hospital was organized for the treatment of the Ask Doctors To Act. To this end, the editor of The Age addressed a letter to Dr. Louis T. Wright, who is secretary of the Harlem committee which was instrumental in securing a number of substantial subscriptions from members of the Negro race, suggesting that a meeting of the North Harlem Medical Association, of which he is president, be called for the purpose of naming a committee to voice a strong protest to the hospital authorities against vicious discrimination. Dr. Wright replied that he had taken the matter up with officers of the Uptown Medical Center Association, but that it is impossible to say at this time just what action will be taken or is being taken. He declares, however, that the discrimination is a serious matter and cannot be condemned too strongly. The Age is in receipt of a letter from Monsignor Thomas M. O'Keele pastor of St. Benedict's R. Church, in which he commended The Age article. He said also: "Of course such incidents will not cease in our time, but that is no reason why we should not protest and kick when they do occur." Case of Nurse Catchings This incident recalls a recent happening at the Medical Center, in which a colored nurse, Miss Gladys Catchings, attached to the Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, was accepted for a post graduate course in the Sloane Maternity Hospital, but after she had reported, been assigned a room and had attended one session of her class, she was informed that because of her color she could not be permitted to remain for the course. This action created much bitter criticism on part of colored men and women who had contributed to the Medical Centre drive for funds all the more willingly because it was emphasized that on the portals of the Presbyterian Hospital there was placed an inscription, reading: "For the Poor of New York, without regard to Race, Creed or Color." Among the contributors was Casper Holstein, who had given $1,000, and Mr. Holstein wrote a strong letter of protest to the Board of Trustees of the Presbyterian Hos- Christmas Gifts For Katy Ferguson Home Asked of the Public Christmas Gifts For Katy Ferguson Home Asked of the Public An appeal is being made to the public for gifts to the Christmas observance for inmates of the Katy Ferguson Home for Unmarried Mothers.

This letter was replied to by Dean Sage, president, who wrote Mr. Holstein as follows: Not Open For Discussion The Presbyterian Hospital was organized for the treatment of the poor of New York, without regard to race, creed or color. This policy always has been, is now, and will continue to be followed. The hospital must select its employees with due regard to the performance of its obligations to all of the patients housed within its walls. The employment of agents qualified for this purpose is vested in carefully chosen executives. "The orderly operation of the hospital requires that the exercise of their discretion be upheld in the absence of compelling reason to the contrary. The case to which you refer pertained to the internal management of the hospital, and was determined in view of all the circumstances relating thereto, and to the then situation within the hospital. "It is not now open for discussion." There is keen interest being shown in further developments of this untoward case. HARLEM CITIZENS REGRET REMOVAL OF 'MICH' BROWN Pay Tribute To Ability and Service Rendered To Court Clients The recent severance from his position as deputy clerk in the 7th District Municipal Court of Michigan C. Brown, the only Negro holding such a position in the 125th Street Court, by the present Democratic regime has brought forth a number of expressions of regret from both clients and lawyers who have had business in that Court, and who have profited from the kindly assistance and advice given them from time to time by Mr. Brown. A typical expression of regret comes to The Age from one of Harlem's bootblacks, who writes as follows: "Dear sir: I am poor bootblack, an I am not smart in books, but I got mother witt to no that the man picture in your paper was a good friend to me in the Court House one time and now he lose his job. A good friend for all of us, he lose his job, the bad ones keep the job, politics no good for poor people.—SAM VAKALIS." Lawyers Are Sorry. Then from one of the lawyers whose business carried him in the Court at frequent intervals, comes the following letter: "Dear Editor: I am very sorry that Mr. Brown was put out of the 7th Municipal Court; he did more work than any one up there and he was competent. In all of the Courts there is a bunch that passes the buck, and they would send everybody to him. So we will miss him very much. I saw his picture in your paper. I hope he will get a good job and wont have to leave the city. I wish him good luck and all of the lawyers in our office do too. We ask you not to publish our names, as they would not do us any favors in that Court any more, but all of us wish Mr. Brown good luck and a good job in the future."

While on the golf links at the Edgewater Gulf Hotel Raskob's caddie was a 15-year old Negro boy, Frank Ivory, whose nickname is "Black Chile," and as a result of the efficient service rendered the New Yorker by the gulf coast caddie. Mr. Raskob has brought Frank with him to New York to serve as caddie and house boy. The Smith party was leaving, Blioxi on Saturday, November 24, and the regret exhibited by the caddie was so evident that Mr. Raskob asked him if he would like to come to New Ybrk. Frank's answer was a wide grin of acceptance, and so he was aboard the private car St. Nicholas when the party left. But before boarding the train Mr. Raskob sent his valet down towp with Frank, who was given a complete sartorial outfit including a blue suit, pearl fedora, tan shoes, stiff collar and a showy necktie Story In The Age Saves Man's Body From Pauper Grave Through a publication in The New York Age of its issue of November 17, friends and relatives in New York learned of the sudden death of Charles Corbett, a cook on a steamship line carrying freight and passengers between New York and Bridgeport.

WALKER PAYS HIGH HONOR TO NEGRO HERO OF 'VESTRIS' WHO SAVED 20 LIVES AS THAT VESSEL SANK At Reception In Mayor's Chambers, the City's Executive Declares No Greater Hero, No Finer Character Ever Entered Doors of City Hall "I look upon you as a benefactor of humanity. I look upon you as a great human being, so great that you were willing to lay down your life that some one else might be saved. I cannot but appreciate the splendid intelligence that you possess, the courage, the hardihood; and when we couple intelligence, courage, modesty and bravery, what difference does it make whence you came, where you were born, from what race you sprang." In these words, Mayor James J. Walker of New York City paid tribute to Lionel Licorish, Negro quartermaster on the illfated Lamport and Holt liner, the Vestris, whose unselfish valor saved twenty lieutenants that vessel sank 250 miles off Cape Hatteras on Monday, November 12. Mayor Walker Receives Hero. The occasion was a reception tendered Licorish by Mayor Walker in the Mayor's reception room in the Municipal Building on Monday afternoon, November 25, at which time tributes to Licorish and his heroism were paid by the Mayor by United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle; by Nathan Straus, 80-year old philanthropist and distinguished citizen by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. A. C. P. and by Grover Whalen, chairman of the Mayor's Committee on welcome to Distinguished Visitors. Scores of well known men and women 'of both races, including many of the city's highest officials gathered in the Mayor's rooms to join in honoring the 24-year old Negro quartermaster, who modestly and with becoming mien, stood in silent appreciation while his valiant feat was rehearsed by the different speakers, awd who, in response, told them simply that he was glad to be here and to be alive, and that his appreciation of the reception given him here was such that he "would never like to get out of the sight of Americans. To Receive Scroll and Medal. In recognition of the heroism displayed by Licorish, and as a tribute well deserved, the City of New York is to present him an engraved Scroll reciting the epic story of how the Negro quartermaster saved twenty lives following the sinking of the Vestris, together with a gold medal, suitably inscribed; And it has also been stated that Nathan Straus, who suggested that a $10,000 fund be created for Licorish, making himself the first contribution of $200 for that purpose, is also having a special gold medalstruk for presentation to Lirorish. When the notable assemblage had gathered in the Mayor's reception room, Grover Whalon took charge of affairs and introduced James Weldon Johnson, who told briefly of what Licorish had done on that terrible morning. Then followed the introduction of United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, who is in charge of the federall investigation seeking to find cause and fix blame for the great sea disaster. Declaring it a great privilege to have an opportunity to participate in this tribute, Mr. Tuttle said: Distressing as the testimony has been that has been adduced in Court before us; it has been lightened and illuminated by many acts LIONEL LICORISH of high valor and courage, streaking as it were with light the darkness of that night upon the tossing sea; and among them all none shines brighter than several acts performed by representatives of the colored race. A Fraternity of Valor. "And I know the quartermaster will agree with me that it is but fitting that this tribute should be paid not only to him but to that fraternity of valor that night which he represents. To have had the presence of mind, just as the boat went down to have slipped the lashings of an unused lifeboat in the thought that it would swim like a little ark of refuge upon the deep after the big boat had disappeared, and then to have had the courage to swim out a distance and return to it, and then to have the courage, instead of using that boat, for his own salvation, to make it a means of redemption for so many souls, stands high, of course, in this kind of achievements which loves to honor. --- And I can add to it one other, a story told under oath by a white woman, in lifeboat No. 8, the one with a whole in it, which during the night with two thunderstorms rolling overhead, turned over some eight or ten times, while the children disappeared, while her husband was drowned by her side; and finally there were left but one elderly white man, two women and three colored men. And then there came a little pencil of light sweeping the dark in its search across the waters. Of course, it seemed millions of miles away. It looked as if it might disappear. An Unknown Hero. "And one of these colored men—she did not know his name and he stands nameless as a result in our testimony so far—one of these colored men took these white women and this old man, who was nearly gone, in town, and proceeded to swim towards the possible fire.

He hands truly as the 'Unknown' Soldier, representing the 'Unknown Soldier' of the colored race to far as this disaster is concerned. (EDITOR'S NOTE—It was disclosed in a statement by one of the officers on the U. S. S. Wyoming, which rescued finally the white woman referred to by Mr. Tuttle, that the colored man whose bravery is thus recounted was named Gerald Burton, a member of the stoking gang who had remained at his post keeping up fire in an upper boiler until all of his mates had gone.) "In view of what was said in another place on Friday last, it is well to state that the witness who made the best impression on us so far as witnesses from the passengers were conferred, as to what occurred—a British merchant, who had all his faculties about him—testified that it was not until several minutes, just before the boat sank finally, that the colored members of the crew entered the starboard boats. "I think that fact should be known, because it comes from a disinterested source; and of course it is disinteresteddd testimony that will control in the making up of public opinion. "So Mr. Mayor, I thank you for this opportunity, and, Mr. Licorish, I know, what he did will live long among those which humanity likes to cherish." The Ambition of Mr. Straus. Perhaps the most notable feature of the reception was the presence of Mr. Straus, who was present in Mayor Walker's rooms for the first time, and he was introduced by Mr. Whalen as having "taken great trouble and pains to come here and do honor to our distinguished guest." Mr. Strauss referred to his admiration for Mayor Walker, notwithstanding that this was his first visit, and to the fact that he had to be careful or else he would be deprived of the pleasure of making such visits. Then he said: "I am eighty years old, and when I was a young man the ambition of my life was to save one life. If I could save one life, I would be a hero. And I was more anxious to see this boy here than almost any other person on the face of the earth, because of what he did. He will stand out after we are all passed on; and every man shall find out that bravery, and what you did to risk your own life, is appreciated. Following Mr. Straus, Mayor Walker was introduced and spoken as follows: 40th Street and 6th Avenue Mr. Licorish, Mr. District Attorney, Mr. Straus, and my fellow citizens: I wish I could tell you first what a genuine pleasure it is to me as Mayor of the City of New York, speaking for all the people of the City of New York, to bid you the most hearty kind of welcome into this City Hall. As a traveling man, or as a sailor, of course you know that the City of New York is the most cosmopolitan community in all the world. That is why New York is so great. "It is because from the forty-seven States outside of the-Empire State, and because from all the countries and all the peoples of all the world, have come, their sons and daughters; and their composite effort has made this to be the greatest city in all the world. "You come indeed as a hero, and your visit today is idneed a happy one for the Mayor of the City of New York, because it was through your influence, where every other effort met with failure, that Mr. Nathan Straus was brought to this City Hall today (Laughter and applause.) "You, young man, in your modesty and broadmindedness, and your generosity and your patriotism, and in your apparent appreciation and love of humanity, you will forgive me if I tell you a word about this eighty-year young gentleman who said that from his earliest days it was his ambition to save a life. Let me give you that lesson, and to those of us who have foregathered here today, a real lesson in modesty. How Straus Saved Lives. "According to the statistics of the Health Department; that campaign which was initiated solely by Mr. Nathan Straus, and carried on in this city reduced the infant mortality, it is believed, by fifty percent—that purification of the milk supply, the only flourishment known to science for infants. It was so reduced that it resulted in a condition that permits me to make this statement to him—that of every two kiddies on the streets of New York since that campaign started, one of them owes his or her life to this distinguished gentleman who 'has come to welcome you. (Applause) "Now, I have to take my fellow-citizens in this great city in groups You do not know where I came from; you do not know what my people were; and you do not care You judge me as you find me You measure me up, whatever integrity, or character, or purity I may possess." "And so it is' as the Mayor of the City of New York today that I do not look to you, Lionel Lieorish, as a member of any group. I look upon you as something bigger and more splendid and finer. I look upon you as a benefactor of humanity. I look upon you as a great human being, so great that you were willing to lay down your life that some one else might be saved. "I cannot but appreciate, when I have read and heard, and the observations made here today, of the splendid intelligence that you possess, the courage, the hardihood; and when we couple intelligence, courage, modesty and bravery, what difference does it make whence you came, where you were born, from an outstanding hero; you are an what race, you sprang. You are outstanding member of the great human family. (Applause.) "You have made New York very proud of you and you have added a great page in the history of this old City Hall. A great many people have been welcomed here, and every one of them was welcome. They have been made welcome by the people of this city and the generosity of the city because of many accomplishments. Many have been welcomed here and most properly so because they were representative of groups or activities or of countries. If you come as a representative of your race, you are indeed welcome. No Greater Hero Ever Honored. "You have done a fine thing. It will be a matter of great inspiration. It will be a matter of encouragement, and there will be those who will not take the picture from their minds nor forget the story of your excellent conduct as a gentleman and as a real man; and want you to know that the people, of the City of New York, all of them, the six million of them, without regard for race, creed or color, without regard for origin, but just all, after all, members of the great big human family. "If you did nothing else, it would be a splendid contribution that your race has made to the making of this city. That is so in public life. That is so on our great police force. That is so in every activity. But you come with no limitation. And you come without the necessity of any recommendation. But your strong heart and your fine, mind that you have given under the circumstances is a fine omen for the City of New York. Should Be No Discrimination. "It is another evidence that humanity left alone and helped and supported and encouraged, knows no discrimination and knows no distinctions. And there should not be any discrimination in life any more, than there was when you swam out from that ship to the assistance of those whom you rescued. "When you left that ship and reached out your hands to save some one else's life, it is fair and reasonable to suppose that no one asked. what race you belonged to; no one asked you where you were born, and no one was interested in your color. They were mighty glad to have your arms around them, and they were mighty glad to accept the assistance you brought them." (Applause) "That was all right out there in the raging waters.

(Applause.) "I am indeed very glad to meet you, very glad to welcome you, delighted to congratulate you, not alone for what you did, of what it means to you; but you have given to society more than one life that would have been removed if it had not been for your bravery and your intelligence. You stand today sponsor for those lives that still remain, which would not have remained had it not been for what "It is another evidence to Almighty Providence in His scheme of life and in the construction of human beings, all merciful as we believe He was, meant that we should all be ornaments to society, and sent us here that that good, that intelligence and that understanding of humanity, in life, to make us all ornaments to society at large, and you have the congratulations, you have the hearty welcome FILL UP NOW We Fill Mail Orders—Order Your Coal New. 4458 4457 Marlboro 4459 DOBBINS COAL CO., INC. 135th St. at Madison Ave. We Bury the Night World! of all the people of the City of New York, because no finer, no more splendid character, no finer gentleman, and no greater hero ever entered the doors of the City Hall of the City of New York than in you, Lionel Licorish. (Great applause.) And then came to Lionel Licorish what Mr. Whalen termed as "perhaps the most difficult and trying time of the quarter master's life—to respond to the Mayor," and young Licorish spoke as follows: Just Did His Duty. "Mr. Mayor, ladies and gentlemen: I am very glad to be here today and to be alive. I appreciate very much the reception of the Mayor today, and the loving way that the Americans treat me. I would never never like to get out of the sight of them. "What I experienced last Monday, week I would never like for anybody at all in the world to experience it, and I would never like to experience it again. Monday, when the Vestris went down, I jumped in the water and swam away off and then swam to the life boat and saved twenty passengers, all that I could, which I thought was my duty. On Tuesday morning the rescue ship came and threw a life line to us and we were brought here to New York safely. "I thank all the Americans who have brought me here today. All the assistance that could have been given I have had, and the Americans treat me so nice that I hope I never get out of sight of them."

They took $420 from the cashier but failed to find several hundred dollars more, which had been stored away on the floor of the cashier's booth.

The two officers taken were William Dorsey, 19 years of age, of 143 West 136th street, and George Goldboro 19 years of age, of 246 West 149th street. A 32-calibre revolver was found on Dorsey, and when Detective O'Hara searched his room more than 400 cartridges were found. town. Dorsey and Goldboro admitted participating in the holdup at the Lafayette Theatre, and also admitted they had held up the Roosevelt Theatre on last Friday night, taking $200 from the cashier. Further questioning by detectives of the West 135th street police station brought out the information that the men arrested were responsible for no less than 35 robberies in Harlem during the past three months. Seven More Arrested. On Monday Detective O'Flara rounded up seven more suspects and after questioning them the following were held as being members of the gang: James White of 38 West 132nd street, Rudolph Richardson of 127 West 134th street, Herbert Nelson of 2056 Seventh avenue, George Caspers of 226 West 145th street, Lemile Washington of 226 West 147th street, Douglas Keyes of 65 West. 129th street and Johnnie Walker of 100 West 139th street. The robbery at the Lafayette Theatre was the boldest and most spectacular exploit of the gang. The theatre cashier sells tickets from a well lighted booth in front of the building, and usually several men and boys are loitering in front of the theatre. Miss Cooper told the police that two of the men took their place in the line of ticket buyers, while the third went back of the booth and trained a revolver on her back. The men at the window got the money and then the three jumped into a taxi cab and got away before Miss Cooper could give the alarm. It was thought they were celebrating this robbery when the attention of the police were called to their actions in the cafe. None of the men arrested were over 27 years of age, and four were but 19. They were given a preliminary hearing in the Heights Court on Monday nand held without bail for action of the Grand Jury. CHARLES E. DAVIS LICENSED PLUMBING AND HEATING CONTRACTOR All work done under the Inspection and approval of the board of health. Saturday, December 1, 1998 THE NEW YORK AGE PACIFIC UNIVERSITY According to Casper Holstein, president of the Monarch Lodge Apartments, Inc., the first section of their new apartments, now nearing completion on West 138th street, will have a cheaper rental than any new apartments opened in Harlem. The average rental for new apartments in this section of the city has been at the rate of $20 per room, but Mr. Holstein, desirous of putting the Monarch Apartments within the reach of the ordinary wage-garner, has made the rental for the Elks apartments much less. Another annual feature about the rental is that no deposit is required of prospective tenants. 7 1-2 Per Cent Investment Offered By Guaranteed Equity Corporation Most Modern In Harlem And this has been done despite the fact that no expense has been aparted to make these apartments the most modern in Harlem. The building is of fireproof construction, with all metal door frames; windows, etc. The rooms are large and well lighted, with hardwood floors, panelled walls, built-in closets in the bed room, the latest type of incinerators for the disposal of garbage, porcelain bath tubs and wash bowls. Then it is an elevator apartment building, with all-night elevator service, and is located in the heart of Harlem—just three blocks away from the subway, about four from the elevated lines, a block from the bus line, and a half block from the Lenox avenue surface car lines. A Million Dollar Project The apartment building is a part of the building project of the Monarch Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. of W. There will be another group of apartments on the southend of the plot and in the middle a model club house and auditorium. The entire project will represent nearly one million dollars in land and buildings. The first section of the apartments will be open for inspection by December 15 and ready for occupancy by the first of the new year. There are 72 apartments in the built-up, of 2, 3 and 4 rooms, but all the 4-room apartments have already been leased.

The speaker emphasized the need for preparation because the cross represented by the progress of the world, is the cross beam of the massive structure which grew out of the preparation of the engineer who designed it. The increasing progress of the world today increases the problems, and this means a greater need for each person to prepare to live his own life.

This is the guaranteed mortgage certificate which is being issued by the Guaranteed Equity Corporation of 342 Madison avenue, New York, City, and which the corporation is offering to readers of this paper with interest of 7 1/2 per cent. The editor is investing its own funds in the purchase of carefully selected mortgages. The guaranteed mortgage certificates represent a participation in and constitute an actual part or all of a specific mortgage, principally purchase money - mortgages - of moderate amounts, owned by this corporation and guaranteed by the Equitable Casualty and Surety Company as to payment of principal and interest as called for by the mortgage. Interest is paid at the rate of 6 per cent on the mortgage and 1½ per cent earned discount, the holder of the money mortgage certificate receiving the equivalent of 7½ per cent on his money. The most satisfactory feature of the investment is that the security is occupied land and buildings in a growing metropolitan area where land, values have not made a backward turn for over fifty years. Certificates are issued by the corporation to meet individual requirements in amounts as low as $100. The guarantor of payment of the principal and interest, the Equitable Casualty & Surety Company, has resources over $3,800,000 and is operated under the supervision of the New York State Insurance Department.

Deuber Atlanta, Ga.-Within recent years Morehouse College has had an interesting development in its enrollment. From a school composed largely of boys in the academy and the last grades of the grammar school, with a few college students, it has developed into a strong small college, gradually abandoning its academy and looking toward limiting the collegiate enrollment so as to insure the highest type of academic training. This remarkable grown has come during the last ten years. In 1518-19 the total enrollment was 416, with only 56 students in the college department. In 1919-20 the total in college reached a round hundred. In 1921 the English preparatory course was discontinued, but the total enrollment in 1921-22 remained above 500. The collegiate students increased to 136. For the last three years the college has had freshman classes of over 100, and senior classes ranging from 39 to 55. Preliminary statistics for 1928-29 give the present collegiate enrollment as 363. Speaker On China At Home of Mrs. Trotman L. C.

China was represented by the speaker as desiring to settle her problems peacefully, but attention was also called to the unease of the unrest of four hundred million people.

It is also purposed to give aid to deserving students who will become a part of the colony and give of their trained efforts towards its fullest development. Mr. Booze reports that the farmers of the colony are progressing in keeping with the new spirit of things today by making ready to take up intensified farming on a large scale, getting away from their past method of relying on one staple crop. This movement is being directed by field agents under direction of the United States Bureau of Agriculture, and it is hoped that under the incoming Administration it will be possible to While in the city, they held a conference with Charles D. Hilles, National Republican Committeeman, from New York, regarding the establishment of a fund for the rehabilitating and perpetuating of Mound Bayou as a memorial to its founder, the late Isaiah T. Montgomery, father of Mrs. Mary C. Booze, who is Republicin National Committeewoman from Mississippi. A Million Dollar Fund. It is being sought to interest a group of business men and philanthropists, in the raising of a million dollar fund, to be managed by a board of trustees to be made up of capable men and women from both races. North and South, this fund to be available for loans to worthy Negro farmers in the Mound Bayou colony, which embraces an area of some 30,000 acres secure the placing of an experiment station in the Mound Bayou territory. New Comers In Colony. An influx of new comers is helping to generate this progressive movement and is creating a new spirit of development that is to prove helpful to the development of community along social and civic lines. In line with the estaillishment of the proposed fund is a hope that the old Montgomery residence may be transformed into a hospital for service to the Negro population both of Mund Bayou and of the Mississippi Delta, a section which is absolutely without hospital facilities for the race. It is estimated that in the Delta area, from the Tennessee state line to Vicksburg, a strip 60 miles wide and 200 miles long, more than half of the entire Negro population of the state is located. For the carrying out of this intention, aid is being sought from philanthropists who are interested in providing needed hospital facilities, and an effort is now being made to secure competent persons to direct the necessary drive for funds and to assume management of the hospital affairs when it is completed. It is planned also to provide nurse training opportunities to young women of the community, that they may be prepared to render service to the entire people. "Home-Coming Week." On July 12, 1929, the City of Mound, Bayou, will mark the 42nd year since its founding, and it is the inception of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to observe the occasion as a "Home-Coming Week" with a special effort to secure the attendance of every family, or at least a representative, for this occasion, and it is hoped that at this time the proposed hospital will be ready for dedication, and that definite announcement can be made of the establishment of the fund for rehabilitation and perpetuation of Mound Bayou. Mr. Booze stated that in the recent Presidential election, the Mound Bayou precinct, a special election district, registered a solid vote for Hoover and Curtis, Republican candidates for President, respectively. He expressed the belief that this is a country wide record. Bolivar County, in which Mound Bayou is located, has long been termed the "Imperial" county, and it is known to history as having been the home of the late U. S. Senator B. K. Bruce, whose plantation, the "Josphine", was just about six miles from where Mound Bayou is now located. Mr. Booze recalls that Senator Bruce, before being elected to that high office, had been elected, sheriff of Bolivar County, and that in that office he made a record that stands today as one of the best the county has ever had. Federal Institute for Women. Incidentally, it is noted also that Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of Mound Bayou, was a member of the Mississippi Constitutional Convention in the House of Representatives hall of the St. Capital at Jackson in 111890. In response to an invitation from the Attorney, General of the United States, Mrs. Booze, while enroute to New York, stopped at Alderson, W. Va, with Mr. Booze, to attend the formal opening of the Federal Institute for Women, of which Dr. Mary B. Hairis is superintendent. It is of interest to note, that after Mrs. Booze had received the invitation, she wrote a letter to Judge Edwin H. Holmes, Yazoo City, Miss., calling his attention to the opening of this institution and suggesting the transferral of some of the colored women now incarcerated in Mississippi jails. As a result, one woman has already been transferred, and at time of the formal opening, several others were en route from Vicksburg Mrl and Mrs. Booze left New York Wednesday for Washington Dependability the Keynote in Buying Furniture to Riley-Hogan success—for here you may purchase medium-priced and better grades of furniture with the full assurance that we never misrepresent; that qualities are the best obtainable at the price; that the furniture is properly constructed; that it will give utmost service; that our prices are competitive and as LOW or LOWER than elsewhere.

With the withdrawal of Benjamin Davis as a candidate for member of the Republican National Committee from Georgia, it looks as if a stop-order has been put on the delivery of Negro representation in the Republican party below Mason and Dixon's line. And there might little representation to be found above the line, if you should look for especially in those districts where the Negroes form the backbone of the party vote. However, there exists a remedy for that, as soon as the voters affect choose to apply it. But to return to the withdrawal of Mr. Davis, who whatever may be his short comings, is not deficient in courage nor certain brand of political shrewdness which has served him in most emergencies. Mr. Davis undoubtedly foresaw hopeless fight before him if he maintains his struggle for the post of National committeeman, with the possibility that even if he succeeded in regaining it, he would be reduced to the role of a figure head and the disposal of the patronage placed in the hands of outsiders. And National committeeman, without patronage, is not of much account. The displacing of Ben Davis in Georgia, the indictment of Perry Howard, the turning down of Walter Cohen in Louisiana and the suppression of cofederated aspirants for representation in Florida, South Carolina and other states indicates the white supremacy is to be the practice, not the slogan, among Republicans as well as Democrats in the South. This was practically wipe out any distinction between the two parties in that section, as where the Negro has the opportunity to vote, his choice will be based on other reasons than the oldtime party labels. If a Lilywhite Republican party is able to attract a sufficient number of former Democrats, or even those who have voted before, to make their power felt state and municipal contests, we must look for further appeals to black 'vote' to take sides with one faction or the other. This has already happened in cities like Savannah and Memphis. In cities further North, like St. Louis and Louisville, the division of the Negro vote already a fact accomplished. The withdrawal of Ben Davis was a fact of necessity, due to the new shuffling of the political deck in the South. When the next deal may bring forth is uncertain, but any change should be for the better. Mr. Davis probably foresaw that and discreetly removed himself as a box of contention. The irony of the situation lies in the fact that he leaves Mrs. George S. Williams of Savannah, whom he sought to oust from her position, as the so Republican representative from Georgia in the National Committee. Evident the eternal feminine has arrived in politics. With the withdrawal of 'Benjamin J. Davis as a candidate for member of the Republican National Committee from Georgia, it looks as if a stop-order had been put on the delivery of Negro representation in the Republican party below Mason and Dixon's line. And there is mighty little representation to be found above the line, if you should look for it, especially in those districts where the Negroes form the backbone of the party vote. However, there exists a remedy for that, as soon as the voters affected choose to apply it. But to return to the withdrawal of Mr. Davis, who whatever may be his short-comings, is not deficient in courage nor a certain brand of political shrewdness, which has served him in most emergencies. Mr. Davis' undoubtedly foresaw a hopeless fight before him if he maintained his struggle for the post of National committeeman, with the possibility that even if he succeeded in regaining it, he would be reduced, to the role of a figure-head and the disposal of the patronage placed in the hands of outsiders. And a National committeeman, without patronage is not of much account. the displacing of Ben Davis in Georgia, the indictment of Perry Howard, the turning down of Walter Cohen in Louisiana and the suppression of colofed aspirants for representation in Florida, South Carolina and other states indicates that white supremacy is to be the practice, if not the slogan, among Republicans as well as Democrats in the South. This will practically wipe out any distinction between the two parties in that section, and where the Negro has the opportunity to vote, his choice will be based on other reasons than the oldtime party labels. If a Lilywhite Republican party is able to attract a sufficient number of former Democrats, or even those who have not voted before, to make their power felt in state and municipal contests, we may look for further appeals to black voters to take sides with one faction or the other. This has already happened in cities like Savannah and Memphis. In cities further North, like St. Louis and Louisville, the division of the Negro vote is already a fact accomplished. The withdrawal of Ben Davis was an act of necessity, due to the new shuffling of the political deck in the South. What the next deal may bring forth is uncertain, but any change should be for the better. Mr. Davis probably foresaw this and discreetly removed himself as a bone of contention. The irony of the situation lies in the fact that he leaves Mrs. George S. Williams of Savannah, whom he sought to oust from her position, as the sole Republican representative from Georgia in the National Committee. Evidently the eternal feminine has arrived in politics. NEW YORK HONORS A HERO. Out the contradictory mass of test enomy given concerning the sinking of the filled-stemmed steamship Vestris of the La port and Holt line, one fact seems to undisputed, that is the heroic conduct of the young quartermaster, with the ori nal name of Lionel Licorish. He is creat ed with taking command of one of t lifeboats and guiding it all night before assistance arrived. Time after time Out the contradictory mass of testimony given concerning the sinking of the ill-fated steamship Vestris of the Lamport and Holt line, one fact seems to be undisputed, that is the heroic conduct of the young quartermaster, with the original name of Lionel Licorish. He is credited with taking command of one of the lifeboats and guiding it all night before assistance arrived. Time after time he jumped into the shark infested waters, to bring struggling survivors into the boat. The number thus rescued is put at twenty, while fifty in all were saved in the boat. The daily papers have been loud in their praise of his exploits and he was presented to New York audiences at the Palace and the Hippodrome by the B. F. Keith Exchange, a sign of public recognition by popular usage. His testimony at the legal investigation of the disaster conducted by United States Attorney Tuttle was clearcut and unhesitating. A writer in the New York Telegram, who habitually refers to Negroes as "darkies," had to admit his quality in the following phrases It would have done your heart good to hear Ligual Lacorish, quartermaster of the Ver- iris. If you get your ideas of darkness from the slow, bullet-headed drawers that furnish the stage types you should have listened to him; crisp, staccato sentences—an accent of Barbados that made my heart bleed for the stenographers that had to get it down—but a straight, clean-cut, snappy black executive, who was the only man on board to think to cast off the shackles of a single life-boat. He cast off the lashings of one as the Vestris was sinking so that it would float and go down with the ship, and then he jumped in and the last man off the ship. There was a relief to cast loose no more. It was a relief to hear one man of the officers of the Vestris—even if he was only a petty officer and black—answer clearly and directly. But Quartermaster Licorish was not the only black hero of the Vestris. It was after Joseph Boxill, another of the crew had completed his testimony, that Mr. Tuttle made the following statement: But Quartermaster Licorish was not the only black hero of the Vestris. It was after Joseph Boxill, another of the crew had completed his testimony, that Mr. Tuttle made the following statement: "In view of certain criticism of Negro members of the crew I want to say that every bit of the work they were brought out shows that they were real heroes. "They stuck to the very last, worked in the stake holes as long as it was humanly possible to work. They obeyed every order and displayed real heroism." It has been suggested that the name of Quartermaster Licorish, should be presented as the next candidate for the award of the Spingarn medal, unless the back of American citizenship should render him ineligible. The quality of his achievement, however, has been such as to warrant the popular recognition extended him.

The Walker law adopted by the New York Legislature some five years ago, to regulate the organization of the Ku Klux Klan in this state, and drive it into the night of open day, has been upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States. This bill was introduced by Mayor Walker, at that time a state Senator, and was intended to abolish the secrecy in which the klan hid its purposes and operations. The law provided that its constitution, by-laws and bill of membership must be made public by filing copies with the Secretary of State. An officer of a Buffalo klan was arrested for failing to comply with the law and his conviction was appealed to the Supreme Court as an invasion of the equal rights guaranteed to all citizens under the Fourteenth amendment. Think of the audacity of a klansman, for his counsel, claiming protection of the law under the Fourteenth amendment! But this little subterfuge did not fool any of the astute Judges of the highest tribunal of the land. Judge Van, Devenier cited the opinions given by the lower courts, all of them condemning the klan as a public menace, and pointed to the information brought out in an investigation by Congress, as justifying the action by the legislature. His decision read in part: It (the Legislature) was advised, putting controverted evidence, that the order was a revival of the Ku Klux Klan of an earlier time, with additional features borrowed from the Know Nothing and the A.P.A. orders of other periods; that its membership was limited to native-born Gentile, Protestant whites; that in part of its constitution and printed creed it proclaimed the widest freedom for and due adherence to the constitution of the United States in another exacted of its members an oath to shield and preserve "white supremacy," and in still another declared any person actively opposing its principles to be "a dangerous ingredient in the body politic of our country and an enemy to the weal of our national commonwealth"; that it was conducting a crusade against Catholics, Jews and Negroes and Negroes against the rural sections and smaller communities in the larger cities it has fewer adherents, although its activities became apparent in Memorial Day parade at Jamaica, a year or two ago. Some of its supporters go so far as to assure Negroes, that it is not their race that they are after, but that the klan activities in New York are aimed against Jews and Catholics. Regardless of whether its intended victims are white or black, The Age has steadily contended for the active enforcement of the Walker law by the District attorneys of every county in the state. The Klan should be kept in the open, so as to rob it of the power to strike victims in the dark. It is an aggregation of cowards and saddists and dupes, who are dangerous only, when their identity can be hidden.

That describes in a nutshell the animus of the klan in New York and other Northern states. Its chief menace is not against the Negro, but as an instigator of religious and racial prejudices in the rural sections and smaller communities. In the larger cities it has fewer adherents, although its activities became apparent in a Memorial Day parade at Jamaica, a year or two ago.

A DECEPTIVE INSCRIPTION In The Age of last week a news article told of the imposing stone set at the entrance of New York's twenty million dollar Medical Center which bears the following inscription in letters of honor: "The Presbyterian Hospital, for the poor of New York, without regard to race, creed or color. Supported by voluntary contributions." In view of twoOCKing instances of racial discrimina- In The Age of last week a news article told of the imposing stone set at the entrance of New York's twenty million dollar Medical Center which bears the following inscription in letters of bronze: "The Presbyterian Hospital, for the poor of New York, without regard to race, creed or color. Supported by voluntary contributions." In view of two shocking instances of racial discrimination tion, based entirely on color, which have occurred at the Medical Center within the past few weeks, the hasty conclusion that this inscription is a lie, would appear to be logical and supported by the facts in both cases. The first case was the outright refusal to admit a nurse to a post graduate course offered by the Sloane Maternity Hospital solely because of her color. The other was a denial of a private room to a patient seeking treatment at the Presbyterian Hospital, the wife of one of the leading colored ministers of Harlem, after it was found out that she was colored. The refusal of hospital service to colored applicants, or a grudging and unwilling rendering of such service by certain semi-public hospitals, including some sectarian institutions, has not been uncommon in the past, but in view of the broad professions of the Presbyterian Hospital management, such discrimination by that institution has the aspect of inconsistency, to say the least. The history of the Presbyterian Hospital tells us that it was founded by James Lenox, because no hospital in the city at that time would admit his colored servant. This is probably the reason why the bronze inscription sets forth the fact that the institution is intended "for the poor of New York without regard to race, creed or color." But the modern successors of James Lenox probably do not think that the admission of a colored patient who desires and is able to pay for privacy is covered by this provision. By what casuistry of reasoning the authorities of Sloane Maternity Hospital could refuse to give special training to a nurse who wanted to further her skill in the service of suffering humanity, is hard to fathom. The whole procedure is opposed to the principles of humanity on which such institutions as hospitals are founded, conducted and supported. The fact that when the campaign was carried on to raise funds for the establishment of the Medical Center, special appeals were made to the colored citizens of Harlem and received liberal responses, evidently does not count for anything in the matter. As an example of coldblooded inconsistency and inhumanity, these two cases of color discrimination should provoke the deepest sense of shame and humiliation among those who control the policy of the New York Medical Center. INSURANCE DISCRIMINATIONS. Charges have been made by a well-known physician in Orange that the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New Jersey is discriminating against its colored policy holders by requiring them to pay their premiums at a new office recently opened in Newark. This office is five miles from the old office in Orange and a trip there involves an hour's time and carfare. This Newark office is said to be for the use of colored people only. Apparently white policy holders can still pay their premiums in Orange. This segregation of the colored policyholders is resented as an unnecessary discrimination. The company explains the opening of the new edifice as a means "to render better service to our policyholders," and offers them the alternative of mailing premiums or having an agent call to collect. It is stated that a similar office is located in New York City, "to which premiums are sent by mail from practically every part of the country, and there is no complaint." The company's response was regarded as evasive, because it failed to answer the question as to whether it had inaugurated a policy of segregation among its policyholders, but the inference was that it had and the insured could either accept it or leave it alone. Discrimination by insurance companies along the color line is no new thing, and it has prevailed more or less openly for the last fifty years, not only in the matter of premium ratings, but also in the amounts paid on policies in case of death or maturity. Especially has this been true of the department of industrial insurance, which has found so many takers among colored people, because of the feature of weekly or monthly payment of premiums on the instalment plan. The insurance agent is the most frequent caller in many of the homes in colored sections. It has been stated that the Metropolitan Life Company for some time has been willing, if not anxious, to reduce the number of its risks among colored people, the number carried by it being so large as to demand special attention. In its publications it has noted a steady improvement in the health and mortality rating of its colored policyholders, but it has undoubtedly found it necessary to give them special attention. The operation of such colored companies as the Victory Life in New York and the Northeastern in Newark should be able to take care of those policyholders who resent the alleged effort at segregation recently instituted, by such companies as the Metropolitan; There is room, however, for very little sentiment, in the matter of insurance ratings THE AGE READERS' FORUM Wall street, symbolic of, the investment and speculative market of the country, is emerging from what appears to be the final stage of a great metamorphosis. The case has been well documented with almost domesticated household flavor words as Federal Reserve, reddound rate, call money, convertible mortgage bonds, General Electric, General Motors, Carlson's, and others. Ten years ago, the so-called mysteries of Wall street were known only to the banker, the broker and the man of wealth. Today it appears though every banker were "In the Street" one way or another. Probably the most important factor which contributed to the present situation had its inception during our participation in the World War, at which time, the enormous distribution of Liberty Bonds in small amounts took place. Thousands upon thousands of individual occupants, who previously had regarded a bond as some peculiarly intricate financial contraption, forgot their fear through patriotism and invested their savings in "Liberties." That was their first plunge into the cold waters of finance. From then on the swimming came naturally. They collected coupons which were regularly paid to patriotism organizations, possibly bought other bond or two, and as time went on, ventured away from government issues into railroad, industrial or public utility bonds, finally arriving at preferred and common stocks. A second factor has been the tendency of large industrial companies, such as the United States Steel and American Telegram corporations, to educate and encourage their employees to purchase securities in the company which employs them. A number of small fortunes have accrued from the success of these companies, pains have been waged by the electric power companies for the sale of their own bonds and stocks on what is termed the "Customer ownership plan." This plan, which in effect affects the entire financial financing through "Street Houses," has further broadened the investment market by giving the small, individual consumers of electric powers and light, or gas and water, the power they need, in and become part owners of the corporation supplying them. Suffice to say, then, that within the past decade' important changes have taken place in the distribution of securities, and the investment demands of the wage earner, or a man who has changed simultaneously, the Negro might well ask "Why has it taken so long to bring about the present situation—the purchasing of bonds and stocks by the butcher, the baker and the candle-stick maker?" In reality, the lack of financial education, and inertia. (In reality, the first two are practically identical, for in nine cases out of ten, in this, as in every other case, fear is based on ignorance). Fear was caused by the repeated failure of the men who were subjected by unprincipled salesmen of worthless oil, mining and other securities. In other words, their first attempt to invest had ended in disaster, savings wiped out, confidence undermined. They had mistaken gambling for investing. Those who had not been caught 'themselves in this manner' were worse off. This was an entirely false picture was painted by a few people whose unfortunate experiences aided lack of simple but essential information led them to the unwarranted assumption that 'stocks and bonds were the bunk', and that Wall Street harbored a den of thieves. Inertia (perhaps 'laxiness' would be as appropriate in retarding the growth of things. Most folks are conservatives at heart. They like to continue doing things as they and their forebears had doe in the past—slow to admit WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA By The Age Special Correspondent Labour For Assam also to its "Wings." In Assam there are tea fields controlled by the Europeans for which labor is being recruited from other parts of the country. The illiterate people are induced to sign blank forms, and then find that they have committed themselves to forced labor for an indefinite period on a mere pittance of 10 rubels per month. The brokers get 10 rubels per head, their commission for getting the labor. The tea holders have a right to enforce strict regulations on labor and have the agreement enforced, even in the courts of law, so there is little chance for the victim to get out, once he signs a form, which is always blank, and later on is filled in either by the broker or the tea owner. This is one of the glaring advantages of British rule in India. Senatural disclosures are made in a message from London about the complaint of a retired Indian Civil servant, who alleged that he has received security treatment at the hands of those whose business it is to deal with the memoranda submitted to the Simon Commission, and Intiguing and premiums. The rates are based on mortality tables made up from the records of many years experience and no deviation can be made from them on the ground of race sentiment alone. the faults of their old system, reluctant to admit the virtues of the new. Perhaps nothing more than too much of an effort to change from one to the other. Whatever money they accumulated went into savings and investments, and perhaps life insurance. To these institutions, they tenaciously clung. The 'Negro can draw a simple analogy from this sketch of conditions. He has now reached the stage, as a race, where a surplus of wealth is accumulating which seeks an outlet. He, too, suffers from inertia and lack of sufficient financial resources. He has unnumerically taken advantage of the by white as well as his own people. He has been robbed right and left in consequence of which, and being newer at the game than his white brothers, his money has become extremely timid. It fears to flow outside of its own sphere, and has thus limited its productivity. In contrast, his wisdom of the Negro in endeavoring to build up his own industries with his own money. However, by the judicious investment of a certain portion of that money in securities, of the tried and proven industries of the United States, of which he is just as much an integral part as any of its other varied races, will be built up, which growing as our country grows, will go a long way towards putting the Race on a sound economic basis. (This begins a series of articles which will explain the conservative investment of funds in stocks and bonds. Address all inquiries to The New York Age, 230 West 135th street, New York City.) And She Kept Up With The Joneses Editor of The New York Age. My experience in the Mississippi flooded area and in traveling from the thelm in France to the French "desolation" to me. Likewise this trite, and unique statement, "And she kept up with the Joneses," gained new meaning and kind understanding during a recent visit through seven or eight countries of continental Europe. Much of my travel through continental Europe was if company with a two of Joneses, comprising two of the same family, Mrs. Roe of Richmond, Virginia, who recently reached her retirement as teacher in the music department of Hartshorn College of that city, and her son and daughter-in-law, Flushing, Long Island, New York. The senior Mrs. Jones has celebrater her three score and tenth birthday. On this account the junior Jones did have a selling that after excursions she had excursions and hikes of various lengths and duration, the elder Mrs. Jones should find herself physically incapacitated for the "heavy" evening program, she always disappointed, however, when they sympathetically inquired of her, if indeed she had not already made it otherwise understand, if she were too tired to go to that function at eventide, to be told she was not anxious waiting for the aninouncement of the evening activities Many times they were disappointed because of the promised gayety of the night excursions and observations to be made, and she was affectionally called on her toe. For the remainder of my life, the phrase, "Keeping up with the Joneses" will have new and significant meaning. Only once during the entire trip covering a period of practically two months did Mrs. Jones have a chance to congratulate "Sister Rena K." the fact that at this age, not so much that she would, but that she could "keep up with the Joneses." also to its "Wings," as promised by Lord Burkenhead He submitted his memorandum to the Commission on June 13, but the Commission declined, he asserts, to call evidence in support of or supplementing his memorandum, Mr. Cuest, the author of the memorandum, says he is prepared to expose the "underhand system" of Government in India which is known only to service men." He is anxious to ascertain whether his memorandum reached the Central Committee and the Bihar and Orissa Committee, Mr. Guest is entitled to a straightforward reply and Sir John Simon must accept this challenge emerging from one of the supporters of British Imperialism in India. It is no wonder that the whole of India boycotts this Commission except a "green spot" of Sir Shankaran Nair in the wilderness of those who, despite the country's call, hunt for titles. These are neither the leaders of the community nor of the country, but are created by the Government to hoodwink the public outside of India to show that there is cooperation in India in favor of the Simson Commission that is infilleted on us, to acquire into the fitness of India to govern by herself. Concerning the election" of Oscar De Priest as a Representative in Congress, the Chicago Bee says, "there is no doubt that he will be seated—but where and when is problematic." It added: Meanwhile whatever the fates decree in the doubtful situation confronting the congressman is the concern of the president of the First Lady District and should not unduly disturb or excite those outside the district. The fallacy that one Negro by his acts or utterances represents all American Negroes has been pricked long ago; and the judgments of an individual or group that him are more representative of his or its sentiments than is the white race in its entirely responsible; for its Vardamans, its Tillmans, its Bleses, its Hedlins, or its Frank Smiths. So whatever olden the elephant and its outcome the voters of the First Illinois District alone are responsible. They have made history, perhaps in more ways than one. Time will approve or disapprove their handwork. They doubt but that their choice will be seated somewhere, sometime, somehow. The cryptic utterances of this Chicago editor will not greatly reassure those supporters of the former Alderman, who looked for the prompt dismissal of the indictment against him for illegal action in the primary election. In a somewhat pessimistic strain the St. Luke "Herald" Richmond discussed "The Myth of the Negro Vote," as shown in the recent election. Among other things it said: Neither Democrats nor Republicans cared a cuss for our ballots in this election. Both of the old political parties kicked the seats out of our trousers. When the question was raised: "Did Smith employ a Negro agent? What question? The charge was swiftly repudiated by the Smith managers that nothing except menial jobs had been given to the Negro fellow Democrats for their patronage to his party. When the question was raised, Mr. Hoover had dabbed with a colored gag, the Hoover managers replied that they regarded that charge as the dirtiest and most disgraceful slander against the good name of the Republican candidate. Of course, it must be right under his duty to vote our political preference regardless of whether we were welcome and wanted or not. But the fact that we were not regarded should not be lost sight of for a single day for the next four years. The man stricken at the so-called "bolt" from the Republicans in favor of the Democrats. Despite the modicum of truth in this statement there were many evidences that Negro votes were sought by the managers of both parties. The Tougaloo Neur, published by Tougaloo College in Mississippi, told how a student of that institution participated in a world peace conference. It said in part: At the permanent summer camp at Eerde, near the town of Ommen, in Holland, there gathered for ten days during August some 590 students—350 from various countries in Europe, the United States, and the remainder from other countries—to inquire into the causes of war, and to advocate measures preventive of war and creative of world peace. Among the 80 from the United States were five colored delegates, and of these Miss Mary Lee and Miss Colleen McCormick. The choice of her was the more significant because it had been made on the basis of answers she had given to questions of international import, demonstrating her preparedness for giving such questions intelligent discussion. And after the successful training services of September 30 and October 7 she gave reports of her experiences and of the Conference Revolt In Gandhi's Ashram It now appears that ever since Gandhi's retirement to his ashram (school) at Sabarmati, the undercurrent of resentment at the code of life and discipline and the conviction seems to have dawned on Gandhi that although owing to his personality, the life at the ashram might continue undisturbed, there was no trouble ahead, and to attract new recruits, iron discipline is to be relaxed, and now marrier persons and those who believe in luxury at the same time with national and patrotic fervor will be admitted, and Gandhi now retires completely and the ashram's name will be changed to industrial home, and will be worked on the principles of John Ruskin.

While the whole body delegates met in certain "pleasant gatherings, for purposes of efficiency it was divided into sections, providing that each should meet by itself and Miss Jones elected to join the section on Education. One of the findings reported was to the effect that inter-racial friction grows largely out of economic exploitation; the strong exploit the weaker and justify it by the plea of racial inferiority on the part of the latter. Discussing the defeat of Joseph L. McLemore, who ran for Congress against Representative Dyer, the St. Louis Argus said: Of course, he being a candidate on the Democratic ticket presented an entirely new situation to the Negro voters. Many of whom were made to believe that a vote for McLemore would vote for Smith and Robinson. Therefore, these people. These same people, it will be membered just beginning to vote at all, and to have them vote an intelligent ballot will require some time and education along that line. Observing the returns from the several wards and precincts in the city, we notice that the Democrats for McLemore just as they did their other candidates. For this they are to be 'congratulated. This peculiar phase of the election will mean much to the colored people in the future, to us that the Democrats will vote for us, and therefore, there is no reason why we should not vote for them. In nominating McLemore for the U. S. Congress, the Democrats in the district gave us the opportunity of voting for a race man for the high honor of a seat in the highest rank in the land. The returning士 how they perceive. The ought to cause us to think: it ought to cause us to reason: It ought to cause us to get out of the old rut. And while it is true McLemore was not elected, yet the very fact that he was a candidate on the Democratic ticket, helped us as a to cultivate gave we strength, has caused our friends of the other races to see through different glasses, and our enemies, if we had any, to respect us more. That shows how valuable lessons may be drawn from defeat as well as from victory. Emphasizing the need for a reestablishment of a working Business league in Birmingham, the Birmingham Reporter said: The lack of organization among the business men of the race is the greatest impediment to commercial enterprise. It is the one thing that hammers the spirit of progress in business and commercial independence and the effects of it must be shown and felt in the evidently slow progress made in developing any outstanding commercial enterprise. With the opportunity that Birmingham affords for successful co-operation with other companies, should be many going concerns organized to supply both the necessities and the luxuries for which a large part of money spent by Negroes should go. The things probable that a member of commanding a large part of the current cash circulating among members of the race can be made to be productive of service and employment. But as long as close cooperative relations are probable the possibility of realizing any such end is quite impossible. Perhaps, to preach group organization to a people so prone to negligence might seem to grow stale and appear to be a waste of time and energy, but no one has made a practicable economics progress without it, nor could any group expect to register substantial gains without this fundamental asset. The members of other groups who know the value of group conservation never cease to wonder why such a group so entirely invisible with the Negro. Cooperative organization is only effected through the growth of confidence in the good intentions and ability of the other fellow. Such confidence is slow to grow without the powerful inspiration of some concrete performance. But it will probably come in due time. Under the heading of "Bad Business," the Chicago Defender asked "Just when will that Pythian temple be completed?" It continued Since work started on the National temple in Chicago this city has seen startled and completed: The Stevens hotel, with its 3,000 rooms the Furniture Mart, the Engineering building and numerous offices, because those who started the work saw their way through to completion and made plans before the first spadeful of dirt was dug. And it is highly necessary that we learn about the project. Before a project of that sort is started, those backing it should see that all obstacles to completion have been removed and that there are funds to finance it throughout. Money spent start a building that takes out years to complete a money unsecured This trait of *building buildings and not finishing them seems to be peculiarly ours. In Washington New York and other cities stand frames which are intended for fraternal buildings—all reminders that somewhere there is something wrong with our economics. And reminding us that we are waiting thousands of dollars annually, it is time we were learning. Let's get this building finished now. That final injunction might be applied to other orders besides the Phi bethians and in other cities than Chi cage. There are too many building structures started without proper nancing.

Hayes, preached from Luke 10:25, concerning the Good Samaritan. He explained what Christ meant by the neighbor. He told of the manner in which the high churchman, a priest, passed on the other side, just as the choir-master, a Levite, did without helping the man who was wounded. The one finally helped him was a Samaritan, despised by the Jews. The solution of the question, "Who is my neighbor?" was solved. All men are our neighbors. Neighborliness means a reason of attitude. The discourse was very inspiring. The two Bible classes met at 1:30. The Philathea class was taught by Mrs. L. A. Coleman and the discussions were interesting. Communications were received concerning the Federation of Bible Classes of Greater New York (interdenominational) to meet at Salem M. F. Church, 129th street and 7th avenue, on Thursday evening, December 5. The B. "Y. P. U. program under Mrs. Wretkly, was excellently rendered. The evening service, the pastor chose Jonah 1:6, "So the shipmaster came to him and said unto him, what meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not." The outstanding theme was to keep awake to our religious duties and responsibilities. The pastor spoke of the manner in which Jonah shirked his responsibilities, because his will differed from God's. He also spoke of the dollar mark being placed on everything in this day and time, but reminded us that more important than dollars, is peace with self and God: The sermon was penetrating and had a tendency to arouse the slothful and indifferent to action. It was announced that Rev. Hayes was an invited guest at the City Hall, invited by Mayor, Walker in the official reception of Mr. Licekish, the colorful hero of the Vestrix. The John Brown Memorial Association will be the guest of the evening next, Sunday night. Six persons joined the church during the day and the collection was $393.67.

This meeting is under auspices of Sister Elizabeth Brown and Sister Grace Hill. These sisters are faithful in performing the duties assigned them. Through their prayers and the prayers of others this meeting is serving its greatest purpose to create more spirituality among the members of our church. The Sunday morning prayer service from 6 to 8 was a spiritual success and quite a few attended.

St. Martin's Chapel The congregation at St Martin's continues to grow, several persons joining every Sunday, and the attendance is improving every Sunday, both morning and night. On Sunday night, Rev. John H. Johnson had as his subject "What should be the activities of the Church. His sermon was beautifully illustrated with lessons from early church history and also with lessons of everyday life. Jesus never spoke of ceremony or rituals but only service, altho He lived on earth at a time when the Jews had great religious celebrations, especially the atonement and the Passover. He concluded that the activity of the church today should be one of service to all people at all times. The work of the choir is steadily progressing and the anthem at both services were well executed and well received. There will be a brief service here on Thanksgiving at noon, af which a dinner will be served for the poor, regardless to race, color or creed. The advisory committee had a meeting on Friday of last-week, at which time plans were considered for our active-campaign for the building fund. The Woman's Guild will give an oyster supper on December 7th, and we are quite sure it will prove as great a success as the dinner given early in the Fall. Tickets are ready and may be secured any morning at the office. St James Pres. Church Sunday, November 25, was celebrated in St. James Church as "National Missions' Day," and a special service at the morning hour, 11 o'clock was held. The Rev. P. Reposse, National Pissions' representative, gave a brytery of New York, was presented by the pastor, Rev. Dr. William L. Imes, and gave the message of the morning on the text: "That ye be no more children." Rev. Savage spoke of the need for a growing up in our lives, living and growing in sharing with others, rather than merely receiving. A large "congregation was present, completely filling the church auditorium." Special music was rendered by the choir, and Dr. Melville Chilton, choremaster. The beautiful, Mozart Duett, "O God, who art the life and light," was sung by Miss Doris Trotman and Benj J. Rasalea, soprano and baritone sings in St. James choir, who rendered the chorus "Inthalmus," from Rosius's "Stabat Mater." At the evening service, 8 o'clock the Golden Fleece Lodge No. 7887 G.-U.-I.

Next Sunday, December 2, will be celebrated at the morning hour at Social Workers' Day, and 100 expected, with their friends, to be guests of honor at the service. The theme of the pastor's sermon will be "Christianity's Social Awakening." All social-workers agencies in Harlem have been be present at this service by delegations. It is hoped though this annual occasion that the general public will take a deeper interest in social welfare work, and will a greater knowledge of what is being carried on by social agencies. The great union Thanksgiving service on Thanksgiving Day is being celebrated this week at St. James in which the Abysinian Baptist Church, the St. Mark's M. E. Church are uniting. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abysinian Baptist Church.

He saw there nearly thirty persons, all of whom were engaged earnestly in work, preparing for the service they were to render. Mrs. H. A. Booker, conductress and time, Scott, organist, put very big of energy that is in them in the service. He should it should be. And the members of the choir, young and old, seem anxious to give the very best in them to their service. No wonder we have such fine signing on Sundays. God bless the choir. Our, B. Y. P. U. was blessed with having among them a lot of visitors on Wednesday night, when the meeting was under the group led by Mrs. Jannie Anderson. Edward Wells opened the topic, with a helpful talk. He was followed by a speech upon the subject. How steep was the interesting and inspiring program was given, consisting, for the most part, of visitors from the Macedonia Baptist Church.

Thursday night the church tendered the pastor and family a reception and banquet. A large number of persons were present, among them being Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Morgan, Dr. and Mrs. A. Morgan, Rev. Perry, and others, who were invited-guests on the occasion. Mrs. Morgan and Brown made some helpful remarks, while the chair of itself, without its lead, was moved and all of its departments and auxiliaries made presentations to the pastor and his family. Then all repaired to the lecture room, which had been transformed into a dining room, decorated and illuminated. He would hardly know it. Here, every thing that suited the inner man was ready to be served, and the young ladies, who had been engaged for the work did the serving in so smooth a manner, that he himself. A large cake, artistically decorated, occupied the center of the table, with the pastor's name and the number of years, 22, which he has served the church. Flowers were all up and down, and the copious, joyous, forget all care, and just feasted body and soul. Friday night the prayer service was not so well attended. The members had been up until morning, just the night before, and they did not come out. Sunday morning, they were on hand, and at 11 a.m. the atmosphere was warmed spiritually. The pastor preached morning early, however, they were on hand, and at 11 a.m. the atmosphere was warmed spiritually. The pastor preached morning and at 11 a.m. in the morning on "The Life Giving Christ," and in the evening on "Christ's Invitation." Attendance at both services was good, and numbers taken in at each. It is very encouraging to note that the children were bringing into the church members at practically every service. Surely any church that has an inflow of children is destined to live and grow. Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church "The Powers of Sin" was the subject from which Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, spoke on Sunday morning. In it there was sufficient strength to inspire man to rise above petty aims and purposes to those nobler heights which alone can claim and hold our heart's approval. His appeal to the congregation was to live lives of witnessing and faith in action and words, such as would constrain others to trunk and follow Jesus all the way. The Sunday school session was held with the usual interest, with a number of visitors in attendance, among them M. J. Preston and his Dr. Preston. The financial drive to aid in the Christmas fund for the school has attracted wide interest. The drive will close with a three-night bazaar at the church December 5, 6, 7. The program for the three nights will be furnished by members of the Bridge Street, Ralph Avenue and St. Phillips Sunday schools, respectively. The Christian Endeavor services were well attended. The topic for the evening was intelligently discussed by the chief speaker, Andrew Peacey. At the Christian Endeavor County Convention held last week, the society of this church was well represented. Benj. F. Smith was designated to conduct the convention music, and this was creditably done. The pastor spoke to an appreciative audience at the evening service. Rev. W. C. Brown was master of ceremonies at the public meeting sponsored by the Brooklyn Urban Legge-Lincoln Settlement at the Concord Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, and the senior chair of this church, under direction of D. R. Bridges, rendered several splendid selections. Berean Baptist Church Sunday, 11 a.m. found all at their ports with the junior choir rendering splendid music. The pastor, the Rev. S. D. Eldridge preached to a large congregation, taking his text from Acts 27 chapter 29. Then fearing let we should have fallen in love with they cast four anchors out of the sawn and wished for day." The object was "Anchors." He preached a masterful message one that appealed to the vast audience present. He spoke of faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ. Communion membership, Temperance and patience, as being the four. Anxious necessary for a safe voyage, pairing our lives with that of a valuable ship. In the afternoon, the School school held its regular session. The superintendent, Allen Morton, assisted. The school has a membership drive on and we hope to reach all of the children in our community who are not in Sunday school 6:30 B. Y. P. U. convened having as a topic "What is reasonable service?" Romans 12:1-18. This was well discussed. The collection was lifted and there were dismissed. The evening service was well attended; preaching by Rev. James Garnett of Richmond, Va. His was 1st Kings 18th chapter and verse. The subject was "The sense of a wise choice." His explanation were very helpful. He told us by making a wise choice we are not only pleasing man but we are also pleasing God. People can tell our character by the choice we make. A number of visitors attended services. Eleven were added to membership. Command Frontier Church The Brooklyn Urban League and Lincoln Settlement held a meeting in the afternoon at Command Church. It had a two-fold purpose that of acquiring the folks with the extreme importance of the work being done, especially that of the nursery and children's court, and that of stressing the vital necessity of supporting this work. The Urban League is filling a place in Brooklyn, which no other organization is filling, for it reaches the courts and the homes. The principal speakers were Mrs. Temple Burge, Robert Elry and Eugene Kinkle Jones. Concord Sunday school's unlimited basketball team, which never lost a battle last year has lost two this year, but won the third against the South Third team, the score being 27-24. The Pastor Dixon window in the church auditorium, which originally cost $600, has just undergone repairs to the amount of $700. A special one dollar Thanksgiving offering is being taken to cover this expenditure. The new double envelopes to be used in 1929 were distributed in small measure on Sunday for the first time. It is planned that the increased contribution, which arises from the use of one side for current expenses and the other for beneficiencies will do away with many "after collections" for regular charitable missions and education.

New York City BEGAN COLLEGE HOLDS HOWARD TO TIE IN HARD GAME Mulhore Fans See Home Team Hold Bisons T Scoreless Tie Baltimore, Md.-The best football game of the season was played between Howard University and Morgan College, on the latter's athletic field here Saturday. The local team upset the dope and held the Bisons to a scoreless tie. Roughness on the part of Howard resulted in the loss of 80 yards in penalties. The game was practically a kicking duel and Lawless of Morgan consistently out-kicked his rival. The high spots of the game came in the first and fourth quarters. In the first quarter Howard carried the ball down to Morgan's 8 yard line but here the Morgan line held like a stone wall and after four downs, the ball went over. In the last quarter, Morgan intercepted a forward pass on Howard's 15 yard line and carried the ball down to Howard's two yard line but here Morgan was penalized 25 yards for clipping and the threat on the Howard goal was stopped. Coles was Howard's outstanding star, while Thomas, Gundy and Chase, playing their last game for Morgan, shared honors with Bell and Frazier. LINEUP: Morgan Po. Howard Cottman L. E. Simpson Butler L.

J.-Plans for the second annual amateur basketball tournament for colored teams of New Jersey, which is conducted by the Bordentown Manual Training School, were announced today by L. B. Granger, extension worker for the school. Last year's tournament included fourteen of the leading teams, but interest already shown this year indicates a big increase in the entry list. To avoid taxing the school's gymnasium facilities, it is planned to divide the state into four districts or zones the Atlantic City, the Camden, the Trenton, and the Newark district. Early rounds will be played off in these districts to determine district champions. Then Atlantic City and Camden, and Newark and Trenton will play off to decide a South Jersey and a North Jersey champion in both the junior and senior classes. Finally, the sectional champions will play at Bordentown for the State title. The Montclair Y. M. C. A., A. M. Bordentown will accommodate games in the Newark district, the Bordentown School in the Trenton district, Arctic Avenue Y. M. C. A. in the Atlantic City district, and probably the Whittles School in the Camden district.

Mr. Granger, as organizer of the tournament, heads a state-wide committee which includes James N. Williams, physical director of the colored montclair Y. M. C. A., Richard Lockett who holds a similar position in Atlantic City, Hilmer Jensen of Trenton's Community Y.

The one time ace of the Public School Athletic League and St. Bonaventure's College star proved himself a great runner in both hot and cold weather. When he won the national title it was unuseasonally warm, and of last Sunday it was unuseasonally cold, a bitter wind sweeping across the open parade grounds. He ran a front race in both contests, starting out in the lead and, maintaining this lead throughout. He finished 90 yards ahead of the second runner last Sunday. He did not appear as tired as the week before, and had plenty of reserve. Moore is but 21: years of age and is now at the peak of his form. Atlanta Defeats Clark For City Championship Atlanta. Ga.—The "Thousand Backs" of Clark University could not withstand the fierce blast of the Hurricane from Atlanta University with "A Thousand and one Backs," and a line worthy of recognition. These teams of Atlanta met at Spiller field Saturday afternoon to settle the question of the city championship, and the Crimson Hurricane of Atlanta University swept to a 6-0 victory, keeping her Conference record clean and also taking possession of the trophy offered by Dr. R. G. Bowden, Negro physician. Several times Clark was in scoring distance, only to lose the ball on downs fifteen or twenty yards back of their original distance, due to the superb charging of the Atlanta University line. Stanley, Atlanta University quarterback, playing his last season, scored the only marker of the game, getting his touchdown from the one-foot line in the second quarter. The ball had been advanced to this point from straight line bucks, delayed bucks and quarterback sneaks. Coach Taylor, of Clark, began substituting early in the game, using all of his "Thousand Backs," only to find that the Atlanta line was promptly putting a stopper in what he thought was a hole. "Cocky Dukes" star performer for Clark, was injected in the game and squirmed up and down the field, but to no advantage—the game was not meant for the Crimson and Black. McPherson and Wiggins were consistent ground gainers for the Hurricano, while the playing of Pierce at tackle was outstanding. For the losers, Baker got away for some nice gains, and Halney did a bit of tackling at guard. In the third quarter, DuPree picked up an Atlanta fumble and raced 33 yards to the Atlanta 12-yard line, starting a rally that looked like a tied score. The Atlanta line proved its worth, and at the end of four downs Clark had lost eight yards. Approximately 5,000 football fans attended this game, and each was given a thrill each minute of the game, either by the players Camden Y, J. Richard Lee of Newark, Frederick Forman of Burlington and others. themselves, or by the rooters in the stands who kept up a constant din for their respective teams. It was really a game worthy of having a title at stake. Clark was forced to drop her "Black Flag of Death" in defeat, to have the Crimson Hurricane sweep it in the dust of victory.

Tuskegee Alhambra State Holds Tuskegee To Tie Score Montgomery, Ala.—Five thousand fans from all section of Alabama watched the Tuskegee Institute Tigers and the Alabama State Normal Hornetts battle to a 6-6 tie game at Cranston Bowl here Saturday, November 24. This was the fifth consecutive year that this feature game has been staged in Montgomery magnificent stadium and the second successive season that the game had resulted in a tie score, the count on December 10, 1927 being 0-0 that was a momentous result at that time. Just a minute more to play might have meant a victory for Alabama State because they had driven down the field in the closing minutes and were only eight yards from the goal line when Field Judge Darnaby declared the game ended. The battle was most furious in the final quarter as both teams struggled, for a winning score, with Alabama State having the decided edge. Frank Lewis hurled passes with dearly precision for a gain of 138 yards in eight heaves to get six first downs to a mere seven for Tuskegee. Stevenson and Hall were marked men. Stevenson was generally nailed before his runs could get started and a bevy of Tigers seemed to have been assigned the job of being certain to take Hall out of the way However. Shanklin rose to the heights as the hero of the Tuskegee aggregation while Frank Lewis halfback of Alabama State seemed to be the outstanding player of the day with his deadly passing attack and his hard tackling in almost every play. Alabama State also received stellar service from Boyd, Coger, Major Brown, Moore and A. Campbell as members of a whole team that played well. Duncan, Meadows and Brittain were others among the stars for the Tuskegee Tigers. The day was just another of those outstanding athletic occasions which the atletic authorities at Alabama State put over in gala fashion with the assistance of the Tuskegee management Special trains from Tus- keegee and Birmingham arrived at ten o'clock and were met by the Alabama State Band and a throng of cheering students and citizens. Then a monster parade of the two bands and the Tuskegee Cadet Regiment was led up Commerce street and Dexter avenue by V. H. Tulane, Trustee of Tuskegee Institute. R. H. Harris and Dr. H. L. Woods of thine Tuskegee Alumni associations, and E. W. Turner and John Dillingham of the Alabama State faculty After the parade to the Bowl, the spotlight was again shared by the Tuskegee Institute Band with their very commendable manoeuvers between the halves. Then a monster reception was staged in Kutty Dining Hall until midnight with the famous Whatley Saxo-Society Orchestra of Birmingham dispensing the music. It was the Alumni Homecoming Day for Alabama State and they were really here, wore their very attractive alumni ribbons and heard President H. Council Trenholm announce at the reception that the beautiful Alumni Attendance Cups had been won, by the classes of 1928 and 1894. With the special for Tuskegee having left at 8:00 and the Birmingham special pulling out at 12:30, a grand and glorious day with no football victory but aorkin-card game was over. LUFF and SWIMMER The thing that most attracts people to the modern musical show, often winning preference over first class dramatic offerings, is the verve and fire and life with which its performance is associated in the public mind. Ordinarily, people go to the theatre nowadays not so much to rest their dispositions, as the tired business man formerly was said to do, but rather to speed up their energies to catch something of that healthy spirit of living activity that is spurring the world along to achievement like never before in its history. The laggard has no chance today, on the stage or anywhere. A standard musical show of the type of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Eltiage Theatre, is a sort of crystallization of this spirit of animation. Hence its wide popular appeal. But there is something specially celebrated about the performance of these colored entertainers. Thelrs is a reputation for adding to the usual quality of musical show animation, and individual native buoyancy and zest and almost religious enthusiasm which few people pause to consider and analyze. Adelaide Hall, one of the principals of the company, has some interesting views to convey on the subject. "Nothing succeeds like pep," says this all-round entertainer. "Nothing can take the place of that push and drive, in any activity, which comes from entire lack of self-consciousness. We colored artists do not think in terms of 'our public'—we are just ourselves at all times; and we give to our play, for our work is just that, our undivided energy and attention. We have no inferiority complexes nor any superiority complexes. We just do our stuff. "Elinor Glyn said somewhere that the quality of 'it' is possessed by people filled with an easy self-confidence that prompts them to follow their slightest natural impulse. We 'Blackbirds' don't lay claim to it' but we do believe our success results from our always acting as we honestly feel and from listening to Mother Nature's song echoing in our heart beats. We feel nightly close to her at times, and that's what makes us very happy. So we just show our happiness in natural way." At Lafayette Next Week Signs displayed in the lobby of "welcome home" week beginning the Lafayette Theatre announce a next Monday, Eddie Rector and Ralph Cooper, two of the most popular boys and greatest dancers will appear in a program of their own—"Jazz A La Carte".

The Sandford team showed little strength. The victory was an easy one for Laurinburg. The second-string men were enough to defeat Sandford, but every Laurinburg player had a chance Marshall, W. Covington, Morse, Jackson, Robinson and Edwards made outstanding tackles. Day, Melver, Rivers, Withetspoon and C Covington played well during their short stay in the game.

BISHOP BROADCASTING From the Comedy Radio Station Next Week's Drama THE HIGHEST BIDDER A Wife Offered For Sale On The Auction Block IN THE REALM OF MUSIC By LUCIEN H. WHITE ABYSSINIAN CHURCH FOLKS BRINGS 120TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION TO CLOSE WITH SPLENDID MUSICAL PLAY Some two thousand or more members of Abyssinian Baptist Church, with friends and well-wishers, assembled at Rockland Palace (formerly the New Manhattan Casino) on Thursday night, November 22, to witness the presentation of a musical comedy drama, "The Rustic Romeo," which marked the church's annual reunion and the closing of a series of exercises in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of Abyssinian. The celebration, which was also an observance of the 20th anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, began on Monday, November 12, and continued each night with special services at the church, conducted by pastors of a number of the local churches, supported by their choirs and with large segments of their congregations attending. This final affair was an elaborate presentation, requiring some three months or more for its preparation. The musical comedy, referred to as "The masterpiece of T. S. Dennison's Royalties," was given as originally produced by Cornell University at the Lyceum Theatre, Ithaca, N. Y., and this performance was under the sole direction and management of Mrs. Louise W. Ballard, formerly of Helena, Ark. now a member of the Abyssinian office staff. The personnel of the cast was made up from the Rainbow Girls and Satellite Alumnae, two of the church auxiliaries, the one made up of the younger, and the other of the older girls, with a group of young men and adult men and women of the church. It was a purely amateur group, and it is worth while noting that the splendid precision of movement and fidelity of interpretation was due largely to the faithful and efficient training of the director, Mrs. Ballard. It was a beautiful scene that greeted the eye with the opening of the curtain on the first scene, the Prologue, representing a beach scene on the shores of Long Island. In the membership of the two clubs are some of the prettiest girls in Harlem, and they were garbed in attractive and becoming costumes of contrasting colors, grouped with an eye to beauty, forming an iridescent background for the handsome and gallant swains, with a group of dignified and stately dames, gowned with distinction, as chaperons. The musical numbers given in the Prologue included a song, "Sunshine," by Gertrude Deverney, the Satellite Alumnae and the entire company. Miss Deverney-sang with entire competency and to the satisfaction of the huge audience. Then came a number by J. D. Howze and company, declaring that "When I hear a lullaby it brings back Home, Sweet Home." The announcements were being made by Mme. Anna C. Perry, and the third number brought a group of Summer Girlies, with a lone beau, introducing "Modest Flower, Marigold," portrayed by Miss Daisy Harding, who, a member of Abysinian, is soprano sololist in Mt. Olivet Church choir, and who sang with her usual effectiveness; Albert Nessbitt, as "Gilroy Clay," the lone beau; Gertrude Deverney as a "Quaker Maid," singing again most delectably; and Marian Wallace as "Ysobel, in Vaudeville." An orchestra from the Deacon Johnson Music Exchange played selections in the interludes, after having played an overture for the opening number. And, incidentally, the Abysinian folks maintained their reputation for punctuality in starting their affairs. The program was scheduled to start at 8:30 p. m., and it is to be noted that the first strains of the opening number came right on the minute. The comedy is in two acts, in addition to the Prologue, the first representing a village on Long Island Sound, showing the main street of Chowderville on a busy day. Here is introduced the main cast of the play, as follows: John Jabe Doolittle, the heart smusher of Chowderville. John Ashurst Hink Sunny, pedies tinware, woodware and hardware everywhere ..... John McKinley Sid Roberts, who years for the Great White Way ..... Bob Robinson Sid's pal, who wants a City Girl ..... Albert Nebstbil Azaraiah Figg, Storekeeper and Post Master ..... Wm. H. Hoakina Grandpaw Blue, the oldest inhabitant ..... W. W. Monroe Evalyn Tupper, the Belle of Chowderville ..... Miriam DeAncy Miss Dee, A Lone, Lone Critter ..... Alka Steele Mrs. Sarah Ellen B. Spriggs, looking for a third ..... Mattie P. Powell Honeysuckle Spriggle, her little Sunbeam ..... Dorothy Brooks Thirty Lovely Chorines and Twelve Handsome Chorus-Men. Act 1 showed Wm. Hoskins as "Aazariah Figg," whose general more is located on Main street, and to which there comes Dorothy DeAncy Brooks as "Honeysuckle Spriggs," and her little "almost" dog, "St. Cecelia," bringing curious intres and consternation to the country village because of her sophisticated and slangy language and ultra modish style of dress. Introduced also are "Sid Roberts (Bob Robinson), a neer do well who is ambitious for larger opportunity, but who is handicapped by the heritage of a no-account father, and his Pal, played by Albert Nesbilt, who aspires to winning a city girl. Then there is John Ashurst as the "Rustic Romeo, John Jabe Doohittle," who has proposed to every girl in Chowderville, and who has finally answered an advertisement put in a neighborhood paper by a "Clanking little blonde named Golden-haired Flossie," who proves eventually to be a gay and giddy widow, "Mrs. Sarah Ellen Spriggs," mother of Honeysuckle," deligated by Mrs. Mattie F. Powell, wife of Dr Powell, who was given a tremendous ovation by the audience when she first appeared in character. "Hank Spinney" (John McKinley) tries to propose to the village belle, "Evalyn Tupper" coquettishly enacted by Miriam DeAney, but his bashfulness choked his utterance, and gave the audience many a joyful chuckle and laugh as he struggled to tell his inamorata, who was as anxiously desirous to hear as he-was to speak, of his burning passion. And throughout the entire act there was "Miss Doe," a creature of imaginary aches and pains, addicted to the inordinate use of every sort of patent medicine as a remedy for her fainteful ills, which character was realistically interpreted by Miss Alka Steele. Miss Steele's work was an outstanding feature of the evening's presentation. Her's was a realistic makeup, and when she was metamorphoized, in the final scene, into a charming and attractive bride, there were many in the audience to whom the transformation came as a great surprise. The greatest sensation of the evening was the impersonation by Mrs. Powell of the twice-widowed "Mrs. Spriggs," who, in looking for her third, had unwittingly snared the "Rustic-Romed" by means of the matrimonial advertisement column. When she gave as a specialty, the recitation, "Falling in love again," the house went wild, and this outbreak was repeated at end of the first act when "Doolittle," (the "Romeo") discovered that she was his infended bride. Another feature of this act was the sermading of "Evalyny" by the tongue-tieed "Hank"; and a group of his rustic mates. With a guitar accompaniment, Penman Lovinggood and a group of young men sang a medley of college airs, with an interpolated response by Miss DeAncy ("Evalyny") The second act showed "Doolittle's" hotel on the 4th of July, the appointed day for the wedding. All the village folk came dressed in their best bib and tucker, bringing wedding presents, and "Grandpaw Blue" characterized by the Rev. W. W. Monroe, assistant pastor of Absman, is introduced for the first time. Rev. Monroe made good in the representation, typhining at first a decrepit old, gent, but later, under the exhilaration and inspiration of a gala celebration by the Chowderville Fire Brigade, putting on a high-stepping exhibition that brought a salvo of applause. And only second to this was the enthusiastic demonstration given Mr. Hoskins in the same number when he gave a realistic near-exhibition of how not to do the "blackbottom." His happiness was premonitory, for the "Rustic Romeo," fearing that his future activities would be too much curbed by the positive and assertive widow, the pout "Goldenhaired Flossie," eloped with the "lone lern critter, Miss Dr. Thrushing about her metamorphosis," into a pachy carrot but CAST OF PLAYERS WHO GAVE FINE PRESENTATION OF "RUSTIC ROMEO" terfly, and this left "Mrs. Spriggs," with her two, houses in Libertyville and one in New York, to be won by "Azariah," with his $3,000 in the bank, two farms and three houses in Chowderville, thus saving the widow from the embarrassment of being deserted at the altar. And incidentally, at the last, "Azariah" recovers his $70 which had been lost in the first act and which he had been accusing various ones in the cast of purloining. The music numbers in this act included two duets by "Hink" and Evaliny"; "John Jabe's Wedding" by the Satellite Alumnae and Wedding Guests, and the "Chowderville Fire Brigade" by "Rustic Romeo," assisted by the Satellite Alumnae. Incidental numbers were two attractive drill formations, one by the Rainbow Girs, a dainty and effective showing, and the other by the firemen and Satellites. The finale was a patriotic scene, emblematic of the Fourth of July, with Eiffie Miller posing as the "Goddess of Liberty," surrounded by the entire company. The costumes for the entire presentation were designed by Mrs. Ballard and Mrs. Pow. and were drafted, cut and made by these ladies, assisted by the ... Mmes. Winonah McIntyre and Anna C. Perry, and some of the girls. Gowns worn in the Prologue by the chaperons were furnished by the Estelle Specialty Shoppe. The accompaniments for the entire performance were capably played by Mrs. Bessie B. Gardner, pianist. At conclusio of the show, the pastor, Dr. Powell, was called to the stage, and Mrs. Emily Wars, on behalf of the Pastor's Aid Society, in a charming little speech, presented him with a magnificent basket of gorgeous chrysanthemums. Then, in a felicitous and complimentary speech, Dr. Powell, with the smiling permission of Mrs. Powell, presented the basket to Mrs. Ballard, declaring that to her, not to him, belonged the honor and credit for the evening's performance. And on behalf of a group of the performers, Dr. Powell also presented Mrs. Ballard a beautiful bouquet. The committee in charge of the entertainment was composed of John H. Page, Nelson E. Dixon, W. C. Cole, Clifton Oliver, A. L. Jordan, Samuel Cluff and A. C. Wilson, with the pastor, Dr. Powell, and Rev. W. W. Monroe, assistant pastor, ex-officio. THE DEACON JOHNSON ORCHESTRA This reviewer thinks it necessary to say just a word about the service rendered by the Deacon Johnson Orchestra, and is sorry that it cannot be a co. history word. The aggregation was not a suitable combination, in. ace, to do the sort of playing required ed for the evening's program, and for some reason or other the musicians forming the combination fell far short of playing up to the standard necessary to a satisfactory performance. If the engagement had been for a dance, then the combination of two saxophones, a cornet, violin, banjo, piano and drums might have been used without criticism, but for an engagement that was quasi-concert, with accompaniments supposed to be played to the singing on the stage, the combination was decidedly out of balance. As a matter of fact, the orchestra did not play any accompaniments. One of the pleasant features of the performance was the installing of microphones at front of the stage, to which were attached amplifiers placed at strategical points about the hall so that the fittest whispers from the stage were audible to the entire audience. And this arrangement but emphasized the lack of harmonious concordance on part of the orchestra. WARNER LAWSON IN PIANO RECITAL WARNER LAWSON IN PIANO RECITAL It was a unique and interesting occasion up in Hartford, Conn. on Friday evening, November 10, when Warner Lawson, son of R Augustus Lawson and Mrs Lawson, was presented in his first formal recital, playing a program of worthwhile music for the pianistorie. The senior Lawson is one of the race's foremost pianists and teachers, rated long since as one of this country's six greatest pianists. He has been responsible for his son's development, having been his only teacher through the years of the young musician's preparation. And it is a fitting climax to the work accomplished by Mr. Lawson in thirty-two years of teaching in Hartford that his son should develop the capacity to shed lustre upon his father's tutelage. The program played by young Warner, varied and well balanced as it was, was especially notable in that the principal number, the Schumann Concerto in A Minor, was offered as a memorial to the late Mrs. Charles Dudley, Warner, for years—a patron of music and a friend to the Lawson family. The Concerto was a special favorite with Mrs Warner and she had frequently played the orchestral part on a second piano with young Lawson. This task was performed by Lawson pere on the occasion of this recital, and this unique situation added much to the interest of the occasion. Hartford papers, both dailies and weekly, unite in commending the pianistic ability of Warnen Lawson, one reviewer declaring that "His ideals are built upon solid musicianship, and he showed in every way the careful and skilled training of his noted father. In his pianistic scope of vision he also showed a wisdom and a power of interpretation which added much to the impressiveness of his delivery." Young Lawson* graduated from Fisk University, class of 1925, and since then has been the recipient of a Juillard Musical Foundation scholarship to the Yale Department of Music, where he has been studying for two years, in addition to piano study with his father, and from which he is a candidate for graduation. The Beethoven Sonata, op. 26, and numbers by Bach-Henze, Rameau-Godowsky, Chasin, McDowell, Arensky, and Chopin were also played MONARCH BAND'S SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERTS, WITHOUT ADMISSION FEE, SHOULD HAVE MUCH LARGER AUDIENCES The Mi-Tee Monarch Band, Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, director, was greeted by a slightly larger audience than on the occasion of the first and second concerts of the current series of free Sunday afternoon recitals at Junior High School, 135th street and Edgecombe avenue, when the third program was played on Sunday afternoon, November 25, but it is a lamentable fact that the people of Greater New York, and of Harlem in particular, are not showing a proper appreciation of the fine work being done by Lieut. Simpson and his musicians, and which they are offering to the people without charge or obligation of any sort. And yet in this community are scores, yes, hundreds, who pose as music devotees, and who are always spouting about going downtown to hear this or that artist or group of artists of the other race, but who are too superciliously superior to take a short walk over to the Junior High School and spend two hours one Sunday afternoon a month to listen to an aggregation of Negro musicians which has been elapsed by discriminating critics as one of the greatest musical ensembles in the country without regard to race. In this combination are individual artists who are no adept and accomplished on their particular instruments as are the soloists of any of the renowned band and orchestra groups, and the Monarch Band itself, under Lieu Simpson's competent and sophisticated leadership has attained a peak of development that makes it an unusually appreciated attraction whenever it journeys away from its home town on a musical excursion. This deplorable lack of appreciation on part of the Negroes of New York was mildly scored by Mr. Eugene P. Booze of Mound Bayou, Miss., who was present with Alderman Fred R. Moore, and who was introduced to the audience. Mr. Booze expressed his surprise at the scant attendance and assured the musicians that they would be given a much larger appreciation whenever they found it possible to make a tour through his section of the country. "You will find no empty seats in any of the southern auditoriums," declared Mr. Booze. The program displayed, as was so felicitously pointed out by Dr. Lawrence J. Davenport, ubiquitous master of ceremonies, the Monarch Band's versatility. The opening number, following the customary salutation, "Star Spangled Banner," was that spirited and stirring Sousa march, "Semper Fidelis," and it was played with a verve never surpassed by even the Sousa organization. Then by way of a most-decided contrast came the appealingly beautiful Prelude from third act of the Wagner opera, "Lohengrin," coupled with the familiar "Bridal Chorus," played with a delicacy and understanding that might be emulated by some of the symphony groups. And later on, the band gave another demonstration of its ability to do fine things when it played a fantasia of airs from Verdi's opera, "La Traviata." "The Organist," by an American composer, King; a Serenade, "Evening Chimes in the Mountains," by Behr, in which the Monarch Chimes were effectively displayed, and a descriptive number, "A Vision of Salome," were further opportunities for a display of the band's versatility. By way of suggestion, it is the opinion of this reviewer that the enthusiastic vigor of the manipulator of the bass drum stick might be lessen-a bit, to a distinctive advantage. The solo feature, of the afternoon's program was a rendition by Herbert Finlay, solo trumpeter, of the "Pyramid Polka" by Liberati, who was one of the world's greatest cornetists. It is not exaggerating in the slightest to say that Liberati, Levy, Herbert Clarke, Emil Keneke, Walter Rogers or any other of the virtuosi of the cornet have never given any finer rendition than did Mr. Finlay. It was a finished exhibition of technique and interpretation, evidencing the artist's mastery of his instrument. Alderman Moore made an appeal to the audience for financial support of the Monarch Band's summer open-air concerts, taking for $1 contributions toward the fund, of which he is the treasurer. Several responded and others have pledged future payments. The fund to date stands: Previously acknowledged $27.05 Eugene P. Boeer, Mound Bayou, Miss. 1.00 Miss.

MARTIN, Director By CARL DITON The development of the program of young people's Lyceum activities throughout the country is moving on unabated. Young people are no longer content with the hit-or-miss method of interesting audiences. Last Sunday afternoon furnished a worthy instance of this progress when the Young People's Lyceum of Bethel A.

RAYMOND CLAYMEN Concert Oratorio Recital Phone: Edcombe 6944 "Mr. Claymes has a voice with a soul and a Rare Interpretative Sense." Mr. Allen's discourse was not only instructive but clear. At the conclusion of the program, he musically interpreted quite a few of the folk-songs that at the beginning of the program had been explained. There is but one point in which we are tempted to disagree with Mr. Allen, in that he made the statement that the music of the Negro was the only folk-music of America. This point has, been echoed after a fashion more than once and is one that will sooner be later meet with a definite challenge and we may eventually have to recognize that the Indian, too, has made a contribution whether it be greater, as great or less than that of the Negro.

City Trafalgar 1069 Pneumonia In Children Pneumonia is very common in children at this time of the year. Mothers are unable to understand way the doctor calls, the condition bronchitis, at one time and broncho-pneumonia at the next visit. An illustration I am in, the habit of using may make this clear to you. Imagine a bunch of grapes held in the usual way by the stem and let us say that the main stem and smaller ones and the grapes are hollow and that between the hollow stems and grapes there are many fine threads. Imagine all this enclosed in a two-layered bag. Now represent the main stem would represent the wind-pipe. The first two divisions of the stem, the primary bronchi, would connect with smaller stems or smaller bronchi until we get to the grape, which would represent the blood vessels, and the two-layered bag the pleura or covering of the lung. Now, at the upper end of the main stem is the voice box or larynx, and this is connected with the back of the throat and mouth. Now suppose disease producing bacteria in the mouth decided to go out for a walk. They may lodge in the back part of the throat or pharynx and produce a laryngitis (sore throat). They may go further and invade the voice-box or larynx and produce a laryngitis. Then the baby would not only have fever, which is a sign that the body is resisting the invading army of bacteria, but it would also have a cough. Now the bacteria have reached the trachea, which, you remember, corresponds to the main stem of our bunch of grapes, which we said was hollow. Inflammation of the trachea is called tracheitis. Now, if the child is old enough, it will tell you that it has a sensation of pressing or soreness or pain just beneath the sternum, that is the breast-bone. In infants, the doctor can tell from the character of the breathing and the reaction of the child whether this is so or not. Our invading army of bacteria continue their advance along the two main divisions of the stem, the primary bronchi. Now the baby will have bronchitis, with an increase in the cough, fever and rapid breathing and rapid pulse rate. Now, if the resistance of the child is not good, or if the advancing of Mary Fletcher, soprano, prominent in Philadelphia choir circles. Mrs. Fletcher possesses a rather large voice, pleasing in timbre and most agreeable in the middle range. And although the diction was not so clear, evading too many final consonants especially, her presentation of a program far too brief, and consisting of art-songs, coloratura numbers, ballade, and Spirituals, was very agreeable, especially "Were you there?" by Burleigh, which was interpreted in a touching manner. It was, however, not quite clear why the curtain had to be drawn after each group of songs. Joseph Lockett, who is fast making a place for himself nationally among the new pianists, supported Mrs. Fletcher very efficiently. A Schubert memorial program was rendered by pupils of P. S. 68 116 West 128th street, 'Miss Gertrude M.' Healey, principal, on Wednesday, November 21. The following program was rendered: Scripture reading; hymn, "Ten thousand times ten thousand," School; Vienna's Own Song Maker; Part I, Rose Reese, Loretta Williams, 5A; Part II, Vera Holden, Lurante Larry, 6A; Part III, Jennie Brinson, 5-O; song, Lullaby and Good Night, School selection, Schubert's Serenade, Orchestra—Harriset Woolridge, Equida Cruse, Sylvia Medford, Marjorie Middleton, Lester Levy, Ernest Berkeley; Origin of "Hark!

This can happen in twelve hours. And then the child has pneumonia. When this happens in small areas in both lungs we call the condition, broncho-pneumonia. If it happens in one lung only the (grape) air-spaces, are filled with a substance of the consistency of jello, and if you will imagine that our threads, the blood-vessels, are congested, then we have the condition known as lobar pneumonia. Right here let me state this when the doctor has made the diagnosis of pneumonia many mothers ask what day the "crisis" will occur. The crisis is the one time when there is a sudden dropping of the temperature, around the seventh or ninth day. There is a crisis in the one-side, lobar pneumonia. There is no crisis in Broncho-Pneumonia! A child with this condition may be seriously ill for two weeks at least. Again, mothers insist that the doctor "bring the fever down." Now a certain amount of fever, to be determined by your doctor, is a good sign. It shows good resistance. If you get in a fight, you perspire and feel warm. When the body is fighting disease it gets warm and we say the baby has fever. When the inflammation involves the air spaces the baby has difficulty in getting its breath. Again the inflammation may extend to the two-layered bag or pleura, so that the two layers stick together instead of moving freely. When this happens we have a pleurisy, and the child may give evidence of having a pain in its side. Broncho-pneumonia commonly follows the ordinary cold, gripped bronchitis, measles, whooping cough, scarlet-fever and diptheria. It is frequent in malnourished or rachitic infants, or as a complication in diarrhoeal diseases. Over-heated or irregularly heated apartments, with over-clothing the baby, lack of fresh air, improper food, insufficient sunshine and exercise are the basic factors which predispose a baby-or any one close to develop pneumonia. Broncho-pneumonia is second on the list of the most frequent causes of death in the first year. Over 75 percent of the pneumonias during the first two years are of this variety. Laurinburg, N. C.

"Tigers" won three games in succession this week—starting off by rumming up a score of 36 to 0 on the Lumberton High Eleven which played here Tuesday. This was considered a good scrimmage for the boys. On Wednesday the team motored to Cheerw, S. C., to defeat Coulter High Eleven to the time of 43 to 0. Returning to Lumberton Wednesday night the Tigers were a little sore and stiff after playing two days in succession. On Thursday afternoon at 3:30 in Woodruff Park, Christian College kicked off to Lumbertin, who returned the ball to their on-40 yards line. End runs by Easterling, McDuffie, Robinson, and Edwards put the ball on Christian College's 10-ward line. An incomplete forward pass on the 4th down resulted in the opponents getting the ball on their 10-yard line. Both teams played hard and fair and the spirit and sportsmanship of each team was an interesting feature of the game. The half ended Laurinburg 0 and Coulter 0. During the third quarter the ball shifted from side to side. The fourth period was much the same until the last three minutes when Laurinburg Institute advanced the ball, by line bucks with Edwards and Robinson carrying the ball and endumps by Easterling and McDuffie, and passes with Galmore and Graham on the receiving ends, across the goal line. The touchdown was the result of a 20-yard pass to Gilmore who ran 20 yards for the score. The game ended Laurinburg 6 and Christian College 0. Laurinburg completed 5 passes; Christian College 3. Time after time Covington and Morse would down the Christian College backs behind the line of scrimmage. The game was easily the best played in Woodruff Park this season. teree; Townw, umpire; Calkins, head linenman; Johnson, timkeeper. M. Blanche McMillan of Laurel Hill, N.
