C.-President Cavin, Coolidge, in his annual message to Congress, read Tues- day, December 4, complimented Negro's progress in the fol- lowing weeks: For sixty-five years now our population has been under the peculiar care and, solicitude of the National Government. The progress which they have made protection and the professions, wealth and in the arts of civilization, affords one of the most remarkable incidents in this period of world history. They have demonstrated their ability to preclude of the advantages of our institutions and to benefit by a free and more and more independent existence. Whatever doubt there may have been of their capacity to assume the status granted to them by the Constitution of this Union is being rapidly dissipated. Their cooperation in the life of the Nation is constantly enlarging. "Exploiting the Negro problem for political ends is being abandoned and their protection is being increased by those States in which their percentage of population is largest. Every encouragement should be extended for the development of the race. The colored people have been the victims of the crime of lynching, which has in late years somewhat decreased. Some parts of the South already have wholesome laws for its restraint and punishment. Their example might well be followed by other States, and by such immediate remedial legislation as the 'Federal Government can extend under the Constitution."

Bradhurst 2995. "ROLL"! our Christmas day mintletoe, shimmering trees, gaily trimmed packages, and cards, sustained with Christmas Seal—these Christmas to many others. Christmas is a sad day not fivened by any of these joys because someone in the family has tuberculosis or, heart disease, and the spare money must be saved to help pay for his care. But, every year the Christmas Seal Sale, conducted throughout the country from Thanksgiving till Christmas, helps make cases like this fewer. The money raised is used by the local tuberculosis, or tuberculosis and health associations, to fight tuberculosis and other preventable disease, to tell persons who have tuberculosis, heart disease or other illness how they may get well and live normal, useful lives, and to protect the health of us all. Every time an individual buys a dollar sheet of Christmas Seals he is investing a dollar to protect his own health and that of his family and neighbor, as well as to help those who are ill, because the health of the community. During the last twenty-five years since the organized fight against tuberculosis has been waged, the death rate from that disease has been reduced notably. However, the fight must be continued because this menace still takes a larger toll among men and women between 20 and 45—the most productive years of life—than any other single disease. Great strides have been made in health among Negroes, but the death rate from tuberculosis among colored people is still considerably higher than among white people. The Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, which was formed six years ago at the invitation of local physicians, welfare workers and prominent residents, is a good example of the health work now being carried out for Negroes. It receives almost its entire support from the annual Christmas Seal Sale. The Committee carries on an extensive program of health education in the community. It distributes pamphlets on health to groups and individuals in an effort to teach the prevention of disease and the importance of good health. It arranges health talks and entertainments before schools, clubs, churches and various groups in the community. More than 8,800 persons heard these talks last year. Health movies are shown before various audiences also. The Committee maintains a health examination clinic and a dental clinic for children at the offices, 202 West 130th street. Each year more than 2,200 patients were treated at the dental clinic and 365 children were given health examinations. These clinics are operated in order to watch the general health of the child. The service of the Committee which most directly reaches every resident of Harlem is the information service. Anyone may take his questions to this service. Information is free of charge because it is paid for by the annual sale of Christmas Seals. "All kinds of health questions are asked every day," said Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, R.N., executive secretary of the Committee. We have complete up-to-date file of information about the health facilities of New York City. If we cannot answer the questions ourselves, we put the person in touch with an agency which is better adapted to help him with his particular need." The activities, of the Harlem Committee, like those of all the tuberculosis associations throughout the country. Continue the year round to protect the health of everyone in the community, directly or indirectly.

Institute Institute W. Va.—Students from 17 states are listed among the 200 students who are enrolled for the first time at the West Virginia College Institute. This represents the greatest distribution of material ever to be accepted during any one term. West Virginia leads with 144 students, graduates from accredited high schools classified by the State Department of Education. Ohio follows with 10 young men and women seeking the opportunity of preparation and training. Other states have given substantial boosts in the large figures. An effort to bridge the gap from high school to college, and from home life to school environment, was vigorously undertaken under the direction of Dean A. Laljej, Jr. of college. Freshmen were called to the campus two days earlier than upper classmen. Lectures were given by various departmental heads on the curricula and subjects and their relations to life. In advising new students as to choice of courses, post-entrance examinations, were held in the fundamentals of English and mathematics, thus furnishing valuable information for the direction and guidance into fields of concentration and study. The opinion of instructors who have had a opportunity to make observations indicates that the present freshman class is the most active academically and the most responsive of any class possibly ever taught, security marks for the first six weeks' period were most encouraging. The probation list, formed of students making, at least two failing marks, contained only 49 names, as compared with last year's list for the same period, which contained 150 names.

Audubon 3073 --- Jicious and Licentious Exhibitions by Masquerading Females On Harlem Streets On Thanksgiving Are Odious liberty Turned Into License By Hordes Of Women and Girls Who Parade Streets In Outlandish and Indecent Attire Thanksgiving Day, 1928, as observed in Harlem, presented some conditions that brought wonder, regret and distaste to many people. That liberty sometimes becomes license was clearly evidenced by the scores of females who paraded up and down the streets garbed in men's apparel and aping men's worst ways. Folks who had never before been New York during a Thanksgiving orgy were given a shock to which they were unacustomed, and on the old-timers, who have seen brants cut loose on the streets. Harlem on previous "Turkey days," were heard to remark that we never seen anything like this store. these females. Their attitude, in some cases, it is said, actually developing into soliciting, brought danger and disturbing experiences to many decent and respectable girls and women who were obliged to be in the streets but who, in no way, shape or form, took part in the orgies and revelries. One group of five young school Used To Be Kids' Day. On other days, the kids have ecked themselves in whatever outer garb they could discover in their mother's closets or wardrobe isguised their natural facial expressions with face paint, rouge or munt cork, as their mimicry might emand, and then marched up and own the street, from door to door, taking their plea to the houseives and householders of "A little something for Thanksgiving." And, too, on other days, some of se bolder of the older ones, both men and women, became inoculated with the essence of the day's carital spirit; and have arrayed themselves in such outlandish costumes they could commandeer and then embolded forth in a spirit, of wild adventure to such enjoyment as they find. As a natural result, there were asss where these adults, mostly of the female sex, as it appeared, were not satisfied with merely massuring joyfully through the streets, but took advantage of the day and the surroundings to make their way into saloons, pool roes and other resorts where men congregated, where they flaunted their ew and costly liberty, licensed by custom of the day, in the faces of the leasing males.

Their attitude, in some cases, it is said, actually developing into soliciting, brought danger and disturbing experiences to many decent and respectable girls and women who were obliged to be in the streets but who, in no way, shape or form, took part in the orgies and revelries. One group of five young school girls had to appeal to a Harlem citizen they knew who happened to be passing through Seventh avenue at the time, for his protective escort to their various homes to save them from rude insult and what might have been moral and physical danger at the hands of males of the species who had been fired beyond control by the lascivious antics of the demale masqueraders. How many other such happenings there might have been, with no protector at hand, cannot be known. Attention is called to a legal enactment which makes it a misdemeanor for a woman to appear on the street in male garb, or for a man to do female apparel and publicly exhibit himself. There is a wonder in the minds of many as to why this law is so absolutely disregarded on Thanksgiving Day by officers of the Police Department, particularly when violations are carried to the extent that obtained in Harlem streets.

THE STRATHMORE Cooperative Apartments The rent you now pay will buy an apartment in The Strathmore PRESS SERVICE IS FURNISH THE HOTEL PRESS SERVICE IS FORWARD Atlanta, Ga.—As part of its educational program, the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, with headquarters here, is regularly sup- plying to more than two thousand newspapers across the country a press service devoted to the im- provements of interracial attitudes and conditions, according to the annual report of R.

The intelligent cooperation extended by the editors, according to the report, has been one of the most gratifying reactions to the Commission's work. The papers also have given unanimous support to the crusade against lynching and are accorded no small credit for the market reduction in the lynching record which has been going on for several years past.

Their faults, and failings having been so frequently exploited, that they have a strong feeling against exhibiting any but their best points. The only way out of this dilemma for the Negro author, as Mr. Johnson sees it, is through the fusing of black America and white America into one common audience, which he thinks will come in time through the breaking and remaking of white. America's traditional stereotypes and the abolishing of many of the taboos upheld by black America. As one author who appeals to and is accepted by both audiences, Mr. Johnson's solution of the dilemma sounds not only feasible but practical.

Hubert of Georgia State Industrial College, who is, the executive secretary of the association, in an address made recently in New York City, defined the aims and purposes of the organization as follows: WRITER'S DOUBLE AUDIENCE A few week's ago, so well informed a writer on racial topics as Lester A. Walton, in an article in the Southern Workman, attacked the current plays and novels dealing with Negro life as giving false and distorted views instead of a realistic picture. Great injustice was therefore done to the lawbiding and conventional majority of the race, in the opinion of the writer. As a newspaperman of many years' experience, Mr. Walton of course realized that it is the exceptional and the exotic that are exploited by the popularity seeking writers, whether it be for literary or dramatic purposes, hence the tendency to portray the morbid or the sensational side of colored life in Harlem, and other districts which the race has made its own. While tentative efforts have been made by some of our writers to depict more normal phases of racial living, they have not met with the public acceptance accorded such works as "Nigger Heaven" and "Home to Harlem." The Association for the Advancement of Negro Country Life is the name of a movement headed by Dr. R. R. Moton of uskegee, President John Hope of Morehouse College, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune of Daytona Cookman Institute, Principal James E. Gregg of Hampton and other leaders and educators, to act as a stabilizing influence to those of the race who are tillers of the soil. President Benjamin E. Hubert of Georgia State, Industrial College, who is the executive secretary of the association, in an address recently in New York City, defined the aims and purposes of the organization as follows: The Negro is facing the greatest crisis in the history of the East Coast competition in industrial life is becoming keener. North and South the most important question be the average Negro is: "How can I find a job?" As unemployment grows in our large centres of urban centres problem is acute. Back on the farms are large numbers of people many of whom now own their property. The huge opportunity for mobility and a fundamental love for farm life. The association plans to provide a program that will add materially to the farms now owned by Negroes. It will provide for the thousands of club boys and girls of the South, plans for diversified farming that will make life more comfortable and a valuable contribution to the need. It will help them in marketing problems. It will offer to them a program of health and recreation that will make stronger and happier bodies. They will be encouraged to love the woods and streams, hunting and fishing and to work in the hippopotamus and contentment that make life more enjoyable and vigorous growing farm population, happy and singing their beautiful songs as they work Negro urban life can safely build. Attacking this great problem at its source is the work of the association." According to the showing of the last United States census, as was printed in the Age some time ago, the number of Negro farmers has been steadily decreasing, especially in states as Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee. The causes of this decrease were not stated, but it is only fair to presume that the infamous crop sharing system and the insecurity of life and property in southern rural districts have contributed to drive many of the black farmers from the land to the cities. No movement to keep the Negroes on the farms will be successful unless it includes better living conditions; a fair return for his labor, and protection of his life and property. In some sections of the Southland too great prosperity for the successful Negro farmer is bound to retract against his hopes for peace and tranquility. There is much in the idea of encouraging farm life, but it should not be made extra hazardous for the enterising black farmer; whose success, often makes him a target for envy and malice. MISTAKE OF THE PROSECUTION. A special dispatch to the New York World dated at Caruthersville, Mo., told a "murdered man" showed up, thereby bringing about the release of the Negro who spent three years in prison on the charge of murder. The dispatch told the story as follows: "It was just a mistake," is the only explanation offered by Shelly L. Stiles, Prosecutor in the imprisonment for three years of Peter Thomas, a Negro, convicted of the murder of a man who afterward appeared very much alive." Thomas was tried after he shot another Negro in a dance, hall argument. It was learned the Negro filed in fear that Thomas was involved in the imprisonment for three years by a police officer named by Gov. Baker among others given clemency in the Thanksgiving season. "The Negro is facing the greatest crisis in the history of the race. Everywhere competition in industrial life is becoming keener. North and South the most important question before the average Negro is: 'How can I find a job?' As unemployment grows in our great urban centres social problems become acute and the number of people many of whom now own their property. They have a natural, adaptability and a 'fundamental love for farm life.' "The association plans to provide a program that will add materially to the farms now owned by Negroes. It will provide for the development of the South, plans for diversified farming that will enable them to produce more of the things that men need. It will help in marketing problems and offer to them a program of health and relief that will make stronger and happier bodies. One of the difficulties confronting our writers who seek to give verisimilitude to their books and plays is the problem of the double audience, as pointed out by James Weldon Johnson in a recent article in the American Mercury, entitled "The Dilemma of the Negro Author." As Mr. Johnson pertinently said, this question must be solved at the outset, to which group shall the author address himself, his own or white America. And he adds that many a Negro writer has fallen down between these two stools. To the seemingly natural alternative, of why he does not go ahead and write and not bother about audiences, Mr. Johnson doubts if anything with meaning can be written unless the writer has some definite audience in mind. As the candid opinion of a writer of unusual distinction and clarity, who has been accepted as high authority by readers of both races, this judgment must carry weight. "They will be encouraged to love, the woods and streams, hunting and fishing and to find in these the happiness and contentment that make life worth living. On this vigorous mining population, happy and singing, their beautiful songs, the Negro urban life can safely build. Attacking this great problem at its source is the work of the association." According to the showing of the last United States census, as was printed in The Age some time ago, the number of Negro farmers has been steadily decreasing, especially in such states as Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee. The causes of this decrease were not stated, but it is only firn to presume that ponage, the infamous crop sharing system and the insecurity, of life and property in Southern rural districts have contributed to drive many of the black farmers from the land to the cities. It is also set forth as an axiomatic verity, that the artist achieves his best work with the materials he knows best and the material best known to the Negro writer comes out of the life and experience of the race in America. But in the attempt to handle this material arises the dilemma with three horns, thusly set forth: He must intentionally or unintentionally choose a black audience or a white audience or a combination of the two; and each of them presents peculiar difficulties. These difficulties are found in the firm opinions, conventions and traditions held by white America as to what the Negro is, many of which have become stencils, but are inadequate for the interpretation of Negro life under the changing conditions of half a century of evolution. In proof of this statement, Mr. Johnson asserted that "it would be straining the credulity of white America beyond the breaking point for a Negro writer to put out a novel dealing with the wealthy class of colored people. The idea of Negroes of wealth living in a luxurious manner is still too unfamiliar." This despite such examples by white authors as were furnished in "What Answer?" "Veiled Aristocrats" and later works. Mr. Johnson further said. No movement to keep the Negroes on the farms will be successful unless it includes better living conditions; a fair return for his labor, and protection of his life and property. In some sections of the Southland too great prosperity for the successful Negro farmer is bound to react against his hopes for peace and tranquility. There is much in the idea of encouraging farm life, but it should not be made extra hazardous for the enterprising black farmer, whose success often makes him a target for envy and mal- MISTAKE OF THE PROSECUTION MISTAKE OF THE PROSECUTION. A special dispatch to the New-York World dated at Caruthersville, Mo., told how a "murdered man" showed up, thereby bringing about the release of the Negro who spent three years in prison, on the charge of murder. The dispatch told the story as follows: "It was just a mistake," is the only explanation offered by Shelly I. Stiles, Prosecutor of Peninsular County, New York, who was imprisoned for three years of Peter Thomas, a Negro, convicted, of the murder of a man who afterward appeared very much alive. Thomas was tried after he shot another Negro in a dance, hall argument. It was learned, the Negro fled in fear that Thomas was paroled by Gov. Baker among others given clemency in the Thanksgiving season. It would be proof of little less than supreme genius in a Negro poet for him, to take one of the tragic characters in American Negro history—say Crispus Attuckus or Nat Turner or Denmark Vesey—put heroic language in his mouth and have white America accept the work as authentic. American Negroes as heroes form no part of White America's concept of the race. Indeed, I question if three out of ten of the white Americans have anything of either Attuckus, Turner or Vesey; although cach of the three played a role in the history of the nation. The African poet might take an African chief or warrior, set him forth in heroic couplets or blank verse and present him to white America with infinitely greater chance of having his work accepted. "Thomas pleaded guilty to murder the morning after the shooting," Stiles said today. "Later the man supposed to have been killed showed up. It was just a mistake." The public prosecutor apparently took is duties very lightly, when the liberty of a black man was concerned. In a trial or murder ordinarily the first thing a prosecuting attorney has to prove is that one was killed. In the absence of the corpus delicti, or competent, testimony to show that there was a corpse somewhere about the premises, it would seem that would be no ground for prosecution. The plea of guilty contributed doubtless to bring about the conviction Thomas, but too many men have con- The public prosecutor apparently took his duties very lightly, when the liberty of a black man was concerned. In a trial for murder ordinarily the first thing a prosecuting attorney has to prove is that one one was killed. In the absence of the corpus delicii, or competent, testimony to show that there was a corpse somewhere about the premises, it would seem that there would be no ground for prosecution. The plea of guilty contributed doubtless to bring about the conviction of Thomas, but too many men have confessed to murders that they never committed for a conscientious prosecutor to accept such a plea without corroborative testimony. On the other hand it is, contended that the Negro author has no more absolute freedom to speak as he pleases when he is addressing black America. Snya Mr. Johnson who ought to know, "there are certain phases of life that he dare not touch, certain subjects that he dare not critically discuss, certain manners of treatment that he dare not use—except at the risk of rousing bitter resentment." This is due to the exaggerated sensitive testimony The whole affair, shows, the cold blood. ed indifference exhibited toward the legal rights of a black man in a Missouri court. Too many 'mistakka' of this kind have sent innocent men to jail for life. HANDS OFF IN LATIN AMERICA. Coincident with the goodwill excursion of President-elect Hoover to Central and South America, there appeared a news article from the Herald Tribune bureau in Washington, purporting to outline another step in the evolution of the policy of the United States toward Latin America. This policy, it is thought, by students of diplomatic relations, will be based upon non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations. Responsibility for the incidents which have provoked cries of "American imperialism," in our dealings with Santo Domingo, Nicaragua, Haiti and Mexico, is charged to the Wilson administration. The continuance of that policy by President Coolidge, especially the continued occupation of Haiti and Nicaragua by American marines, is held to have been justified as rendering a needed service in helping to stabilize both of these countries. There is said to be no desire on the part of Washington officials to maintain the marines in Nicaragua, it having been held that their mission was accomplished by the holding of what has been termed the fairest election that country ever had. And the result of it was the choice of the candidate of the party opposed by the United States, as the new president. The survey of the financial and economic situation in Nicaragua by Dr. W. W. Cumberland, former expert attached to the State Department, recommending an American loan of twelve million dollars with financial control of the Nicaraguan treasury, is said to have been rejected by President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg. This was the method adopted to place Haiti under American control, with a horde of hungry Americans, mostly prejudiced Southerners, to fatten on its revenues and insult the people who paid for their keep. But with the seeming exception of Haiti, a "hands-off policy" is said to be the program for Latin America, with the expectation that Mr. Hoover will expand and develop it. Mexico was pointed to as an example of what could be done to improve diplomatic relations by abstaining from interference with internal affairs of the government and dropping the idea of military intervention. While political stability is desired among the mations to the South, it is believed that the Hoover administration will try the experiment of letting these countries achieve it themselves through a policy of conciliation and friendship. It is even hinted that the withdrawal of American marines from Nicaragua and Haiti may follow as a corollary of such a pacific policy. Evidently somebody in Washington has begun to realize that the cry of "American imperialism" was becoming too strong in Latin-America to be longer ignored. With such glaring examples of the exploitation of weaker nations, furnished by the continued military occupation of Nicaragua and Haiti, the charge was fully justified. Hence this tentative suggestion as to the withdrawal of the marines. The marines should be withdrawn from both countries at once. Senator King of Utah has long had a resolution to that effect, relating to Haiti, pending in the Senate. With the marines should go the American High Commissioner and his whole tribe of official cormorants: It is time to take hands off in Latin-America. If Haiti in particular needs experts or instructors from America, let her select them, not have them thrust upon her. SIGNS OF THE HOLIDAYS. The coming of the Christmas holidays is announced by the appearance of the various slogans advising the willing celebrants what to do and what to omit. The intending purchasers of gifts for family and friends are implored to do their shopping early regardless of the fact that the Christmas checks have not yet arrived to expectant recipients. Those who use the post office facilities are urged to wrap securely, address correctly and above all mail early, the parcel, large or small, intended for delivery before Christmas Day. The charity organizations, welfare leagues and social workers in general are preparing to make happy holidays for the poor, distressed and neglected, who can make no celebration of their own. The United Charities organization acts as a clearing house for movements of this nature. The World has opened a fund to provide clothing, toys and games for the children whose parents are patients in some city hospital. In meeting this emergency, The World disclaims thought of race, creed or color. In all our preparations for the holidays, those less fortunate in worldly goods should be remembered by a contribution to help make Christmas an occasion of general rejoicing. Editor of The New York Age: May I take this opportunity of paying my respects to the friend and friend of Michigan Brown, who recently was a deputy clerk in the 7th District Municipal Court. Mr. Brown showed that tact and consideration, which is so welcome to a lawyer who has occasion to practice in the Municipal Court. When Brown up a matter, or for his advice, he willingly and selflessly gave the best that was in him. I know that I echo the sentiments of lawyers and litigants when I say that we are sorry to see Brown leave the Municipal Court of the 7th District Municipal Court. May I also take this occasion to wish him God-speed in any endeavor he may undertake? and I can assure him that he has the best wishes of a host of friends than I have named. (Signed) REUBEN J. WITTSTEIN Metropolitan Policy Editor of The New York Age. In addition to what The New York Age of November 24 said ament segregation in New Jersey, it might note in connection with Dr. Walter S. Koehler's pose of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.'s policy towards Negro policy holders, that in addition to discriminating against Negroes as mentioned in their charged Negroes are approximately ten per cent higher, than to other groups, and this conclusion is reached by comparison over twenty-five years' study. This, fact colored people from the African-colored people from buying Metropolitan insurance. Aside from racial clamishness, life instance is an investment, and it is important to have a policy, holders would take advantage of the company that gives the largest returns on their investment. Our group has a number of responsible companies that criminalize as to race, or color. Why not invest in some of them? (W signed) WILLIAM H. HUGGINS.. M. D. Providence, R. I.

But there are other and just as compelling reasons why The Age is a necessity in every Abyssinian home. It is a moral and spiritual force. Its news items are clean, its news items are fit to print. It does not deliver a service to its social life and serve to its news, news-garbage. What Negroes are doing in a large and even a small way for racial uplift it features, thus creating and helping to create race consciousness and a greater appreciation in the hearts of Negroes for what Negroes are doing. The Age, moreover, is a strong and stumach ally of those organizations and institutions whose object is community betterment, dissemination of knowledge and human uplift. Its editorial page is a bulwark of racial defense. While we do not want to be a Negro, we greatly admire his fearless conservatism and his conservative fearlessness. The second periodical is the Crisis. In our opinion, it is one of the best edited months in all Americas. It is the product of Negro brain we take pride in saying it is a necessity in every Abysinian home. It is more than so much cover, reading matter and advertisements. It is an institution. It is a national information about Negroes, a discoverer of Negro talent by The Syracuse Defender is a recent accession to the Negro press, devoted to political, society and church news for Central New York. The last column of the front page in the first issue was devoted to the account of a brutal murder and sultide committed in Syracuse, with a portrait of a woman without a caption, but presumably the victim. Among the editorial notes, were the following: This is everybody's paper to help make Syracuse a better city to live. We aim to tell the world that Syracuse is on the map. Copies of this paper will be made to Paris, London, Canal Zone, Cancun and London nearly every state in the union, including 150 other colored newspapers. We trust that the Syracuse editor will be successful in his modest aspirations. The American Issue, published at Westerville, Ohio, which proclaims itself "an advocate of Christian patriotism," the organ of the ultra Drys, exculted over the election results in an editorial headed, "Wet Warriors Who Will Not Answer Rollall." It said: "The overwhelming victory for prohibition recorded in the recent election is not measured entirely by the substantial gains made by drys in the National House of Representatives and in the United States Senate, nor by the magnificent major gains given to Mr. Hoover and the pitiful small, vote to be given Governor Smith. This victory grows in magnitude when a roll is called of the most conspicuous war wriers who held forth in the United States Senate but who in the next year gave up their absence. There is Edwards of New Jersey, replaced by a dry; Bruce of Maryland, replaced by a dry; Bayard of Delaware, replaced by a dry; Gerry of Rhode Island, replaced by a dry. It was no mere accident that these aggressive wet champions built up deliberate, determined effort on the part of the voters who believe that the national prohibition policy is a wise policy and who, like President elect Hoover, want to see it succeed. It is remarkable how such diverse elements as the Anti-Saloon leaguers, the California wine grape growers, and the bootleggers and hijackers are united in their support of prohibition. Discussing the building up of business as the basis of real racial progress the Cincinnati Bulletin said: It has been previously stated in these columns that the Negro spend $100 million a month in the city of Cincinnati. He spends other millions in other cities. In Cincinnati, it is safe to say, that he does not spend 5% of this million with his own people. What would it be if his future it spent 50% of this million with Negro merchants? There are, a number of small business houses in Cincinnati operated by Negroes. To survey this small group, many of them operating from the discouragement of those who are far sighted enough to see that their success is the rod by which the race must be ultimately measured. These Negro merchants complain that their people do not give to them the service and discountage of those who are far sighted enough to see that their success is the rod by which the race must be ultimately measured. These Negro merchants complain that their merchants do not give them the service and prices that they can obtain elsewhere. The merchants must be made to see and face the requirements of the people and then they are aroused to respond with a whole-hearted patronage. The merchant must discontinue the practice of sitting in the hack of a dark, dinky store, discussing the race question and then they are idlers, and step on the job of cleaning and dressing his windows, displaying his wares attractively, and courteously disposing of them at prices that are current in other people has been done the people will respond to the use than they have done before and we will be well on the way of developing real business activity with lending its pages, to expression, and its editorial page bristles with force, dignity and erudition. Even our children ought to be taught to love The Lord with love, Crisis, for they are the which speak for us in a world of thought. A Daughter of Allah The author of the "The Princess of Naraghapur", evidently, takes more pride in the creation of his heroine than in his hero. The story is rather remarkable, in that the falling in love of a young "England army officer with the daughter of an English merchant, the perils he undergoes in order to win her, their flight and marriage and subsequent separation through a misunderstanding on the part of the Englishman. Dr. Durant expends much pains in the delineation of the Princess Kaumia; who embodies all that he esteems the Englishman manhood. His Englishman is born of rashness, but singularly oblities in his understanding of his wife. The author states that the first half of the book was written in collaboration with Mr. Roach, the concluding chapters being written by himself after the lapse of many years. There are many Hindu writings applied to lend an Eastern flavor to the picture of curious rites and cantations in a subterranean temple, in which the feeling loses take part. The book is published by the Grafton Pizza, New York. in our many ways. The increasing interest displayed in this matter of retail business will eventually take the form of practical steps to get results. In considering the important functions played by the radio in modern life, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: But not only is the radio a wonderful aid to the preservation of life at sea and in the air above the sea, it performs the distinct and unchallengable function of transmitting a broadcast acid precisely as they it without the considerations of editing, such as apply, to newspaper information. For instance, radio audiences heard numerous speeches during campaign in which they tell the public language and resorted to expressions that either did not show up at all or had been sweetly modified in newspapers reports. Of many men who have been in public life for a long time, whom we felt we had had occasion to pretend to tell through front news pages we have learned infinitely more since they have been talking in the air rather than confining their talk to printer's ink. In the heat of the campaign many a spellbinder was over the radio which a kindly editor would have spared him in print. Popular estimates of men are subject to almost certain alterations, for better or for worse, when they take a talking on the air, and most of them in the late campaign. Actually some of our politicians and statemen will never survive the hurt they did to their reputations by talking over the radio. The faithful editor was not on hand to put clean, tolerant and honest speeches in the radio, and of course their audiences best heard what they said and how they said it, and consequently became more intimately acquainted with them, a fact from which the reputation of some of these speakers and of course their editors, has suffered. And by the radio we are now informed where we once meet the only half-informed, and many a club foot has been exposed. That is a revelation of the part that the press has played in building up many political reputations. Referring to an article on the Red Caps, which appeared in the Pennsylvania News, organ of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Pittsburgh Courier said: It points out that "this service has grown from forty-five porters in 1897 to 427 in 1928." It then goes on to tell of the high standard of its Red Caps, how they must report for duty on time and ring the clock and appear in their respective assignments with uniforms in perfect condition. The porters carry his charisma under all circumstances and his role as a walking information beaul. What it does not tell is that the men Red, Caps do not get a dime for their services except what they can cage from the public and that the company does not even furnish them with their uniforms. Again, the company inflicts the same aide from not paying the Red Caps anything it has permitted so many to be "hired" that they can hardly keep out of each other's way in the Pennsylvania Station in New York and the difficulties of making a living from tips have been materially increased thereby. Here is a great railroad company that makes many other corporations, takes advantage of the poverty and need of men to get them to give their services with the uncertain privilege of extracting tips as a reward therefore. It is not a system that commends itself to the bulk of the American public, and/or allows it to go wrong by abolishing the thriving realities. It is to be hoped that other businesses will follow suit. There is considerable talk about abstinence tipping, but it seems to prevail in all establishments where personal service is rendered, especially in New York City. It must be that the American public likes the practice. Under the headline "We Want to Bathe," M. S. Stuart in the Memphis Triangle acts forth the difficulties of achieving personal cleanliness 'in certain parts of the Southland. Among other things said: Leaving - Memphis going as the crow flies to Vickersburg, there will not be found one, tenant house or the great plantations in that street of country so built, and fitted up to encourage personal hygiene, but how difficult a bath is for the average farm tenant. In the first place has two-room, house-admits too much ventilation. It is a disagreeable thing to strip off and bathe in such cabin. Then he must fetch water in his hands, or on his head from the open munity pump a mile or to, he must heat his water the open munity pump has he only one fire-plate, and the members of the opposite sex, must go visiting and stay, until the bath is finished, and the bathing must be done in an old wooden wash-tub made of barrel sawn in two. The circumstances is it any wonder that that bathing is desirable proper to the house to be deferred as long as it is deferred by many until the coming of May when the old swimming hole makes it more agreeable and convenient. This was part of a discussion of the third factor of preference, based on "upanisatary living condition" and "personal appearance," etc by southern California college professor. Dr. C. C. Garner, pastor of the Gracconia Church, presided to a goodly portion of the congregation last Sunday morning at St. John 5:50-51. The german was full of humble and the biggest lesson sent home was that some good comes out of everything and rich and the poor; the strong and the weak to achieve the big things that come through perfect harmony in life. Winifred Johnson and Mr. Dipson joined the "fellowship" from Dr. Garner, and were received into the congregational faith. Commission was administered to the congregation by Dr. Garner. In spite of the fact that their director, Miss Jeter, was abased, the choir gave its usual弥音 service. Wednesday School convened at 1:15 p.m. The Gracconia Club, under Mr. Ellerog, met at 1:30.

At the annual meeting, which was held on Tuesday evening, reports were read from the different auxiliaries and plans for the winner's prize were served by a committee under Mrs. Lena Holsey, Mrs. Marie Williams, Mrs. Minnie Chambers, and several others. Service was on Wednesday evening at 8 p. m. ELIZABETH H. DAVIS Church Secretary. Mount Olivet Baptist Church The morning service at Mt. Olivet. December 2, 2002, was well attended. Mr. Forlace sang a bass solo, excellently. The Rev. Vern Johns preached on the subject.

He spoke of umb Abram, ventured, not, knowing where he was going; how God rewrote the law 1922, protect him and how when Abram was 99 years old, he was still childlike in his obedience to God. He spoke of another "adventurer" who set out in obedience to an inward urge, to sail on and on until he had discovered a new land—the mud river, the venture in, the immortal speech of Socrates before drinking the hemlock. "I am persuaded that, whether living or deceased no harm can come to a good man."

The selections were made by a vote of the coaches in the various high schools of the city at the request of the New York American. In commenting on their selections, the coaches wrote of Rivero as for lows: "Rivero, 67 pounds of whirling, off tackle, a streak around the ends, was as deadly a tackle as the high schools developed."

Renaissance Five Beats Passaic Five, 55 to 41 By TED YATES Flashing the brilliant form that carried them to victory over the Haloah Club on Thanksgiving Night, the Renaissance Big Five saunthed the Passive Five at the Renaissance Casino Sunday night in a fast-played contest. The final score was 55 to 41. The final score does not indicate the close battle put up by the visiting quintet for though the game appeared slow at times the jerseys would creep up on the world's colored professional champions and in the early stage of the game were trailing by 16 points. Rick of the Rempel in high-scoring, he tallied six field goals and four foul shots for a total of 16 points. Lindsey starred for the visiting quintet with five goals and two foul tries to his credit.

C.What gave every promise of being a one-sided walkover was turned into an interesting football game for 18,000 fans who came from all sections of the country to witness the gridclassic of the East between Howard and Lincoln Universities. Howard won by a 12-0 score-her third straight victory over the Lions. With the ending of this game, the curtain was rung down on the most disastrous season of the Pensylvanians have experienced in the past decade. Out of eight games, the Lios were able to win but a single victory—from Shaw University. Inexperienced players, and trouble between the coaches and athletic authorities of the school, are said to have been some of the causes for the poor showing his charges opened, took, which was that of the Lios ard showed support of the straight lineup he been continued. White, the scrimmage have been la The two teat out, as they say Exciting Aerial Attack. T. C. Mayers, who took charges of the Orange and Blue team only two weeks before the Howard game, knew his men had only one chance of victory and that was via the forward pass route. So as soon as his players got possession of the ball they opened an aerial attack that was exciting to the fans and a bit of wrestlement to Howard. Coach Charlie West at once had SEE THE HERO?

In fact, Howard showed superiority in every department of the game, and had straight lineup plunges and end runs been continued by the Bhoe and White, the scire would undoubtedly have been larger. The two teams "fell each other out," as they say in boxing circles, during the first quarter, but Howard was put in position to score just as the quarter ended. When Lincoln fumbled on her own 10 yard line. Howard made things easy for their opponents by also fumbling the ball on the next play. Lincoln then kicked out of danger. First Touchdown. A pass from Marshall to Payne for 15 yards paved the way for the first touchdown. Then Marshall hit the line for gains of 10 yards each, bringing the ball to Lincoln's 1-yard mark. Coles carried it across. Payne failed to kick the goal. Howard made what many spectators thought was another touchdown during this quarter, but the officials ruled it did not count. A 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness, put the Blue and White in position to score. Just as the timekeeper's whistle blew, ending the half, Marshall completed another pass to Payne, 20 yard; away and across the goal line. The third quarter saw the ending of seeing the quarter back into the first and made the excessive first downs on straight football then began using the forward pass again. Marshall passed to Sallie for 8 yards and then across the goal line to Mack for 12 yards and the touchdown. The attempt to kick the goal was blocked. Lions Made Game Fight. The Lions fought gamely during the last quarter but were forced to be constantly kicking the ball out of danger. Several times during this period, the ball was marched down to within 10 yards of the visiting team's goal; only to be lost on attempted passes. 1 Marshall, former Central High School star of Newark, was the outstanding player for the winning team. He handled all passes for his team, and was in every play. Drew on the line and Payne at quarterback were also very effective for Howard, while Captain Martin, who did not get into the fray until after the first quarter, did the best work for the team. Howard made 12 first downs to 9 by Lincoln and completed 10 forward passes to their opponent's 5. The lineup and summary of the game was as follows: Howard (12) Lincoln (6) Sallie L E Allen Shelton L T Waters Drew L G Robinson Hayes C Young Hammond R G Douglass Webb R T.

Talladega and Tuskegee met in their annual football game Thanksgiving Day before a large crowd of students and alumni of both institu- tions. This game dates, back to the 1890's and through all these years the interest in the meeting of the two schools, in friendly football rivalry, has been sustained. In the game Thursday Tuskegee came through with a 21 to 0 victory. The Tuskegee aggregation had expected a close fight from the Talladega Tornado and these predictions were not amiss. Immediately after the game opened there was a decided maroon hue on the field as Talladega rushed Tuskegee from the start. The Talladega supporters filled the air with excited cheering as the Tornado came down deep into the Tuskegee territory a few minutes after the game ended. The team that tally the big Blue team was unable to cross the marker. It was here that Talladega's greatest scoring threat ended, but it was a dangerous team thereafter and Tuskegee had to play rare football to blast the hope of victory of the Tornado team. In the waning moments of the second quarter Joyner and Jackson steadily gained through the Talladega line. It was slow but some progress and then with the ball eleven yards from the goal Harrison sallied through right end for the store. Tom Harris replaced Woolridge and kicked the extra point. Late in the fourth quarter Talladega started a great aerial attack. LaVern Smith, who replaced Wylie at quarterback, 'snatched one of Porter's long heaves and ran 60 yards for the second score. Harrison's beautiful blocking aided Smith in his hurried effort towards the goal. Woolridge who had replaced Stevenson, after the second play of the first quarter, kicked the extra point. Pearson's passing for Talladega was excellently done. James "on the receiving end was good at holding on to the ball if it landed anywhere in his vicinity. Baker and Lewis were also good at passing and receiving. Hutchins is a great tackle and played a wonderful game. His tackling was clean and hard. Garner is a splendid end and played a brilliant game. Joyner and Jackson were good at advancing the ball, for the Tigera. Harrison also hit the line for substantial gains whenever he carried the ball and his blocking off several Talladega players when Smith set out for the goal was an excellent piece of work. Duncan, Britton, Captain Robinson and Shanklin also played well for Tuskegee Woolridge, relieved Stevenson, who was injured, and carried on in a fife fashion. He directed his pants well and got plenty of distance. Hampton Wins C.I.A.A. Championship By Beating Union On Thanksgiving Hampton Wins C.I.A.A. Championship By Beating Union On Thanksgiving Hampton Institute - Hampton's Blue and White Ironmen crushed Union University's Pawing Panthers for the championship honors of the C. I. A. A in a hectic struggle on Armstrong Field Thanksgiving Day which ended 25-0. It was Captain George E. Byrd, who was playing his last game for the Blue and White, that led the attack that spelled defeat for the Panthers. Twice did Captain Byrd cross the goal line as a result of his uncleann ability to snatch passes from all angles in the Field. As he was often called, ran a full 50 yards for the first score when Jones winged him a short pass about 10 yards over the line. He stroked down the sideline with two stalky escorts, Morton and Guitex. Captain Byrd was not alone in his glory for Beau Guess, a product of the far West, was a hero, colorful in victory. Guess was one of the powers behind the ram that registered seventeen first downs to Union's two. Guess accounted for a touchdown, when only a few inches were needed to make first down for the Seasiders. Coach Gideon E. Smith's line functioned with perfection and precision. Never were they in danger of being scored, and on the other hand their charging was so fast and furious that Union in her many attempts to complete trick plays, fumbled and usually down for a loss Moore. Hampons' substitution back for Jones accounted for the last touchdown. Moore, it may be remembered was the whole show in the West Virginia game. While Byrd, and stable mates were storming all over the field that young fellow named Breaux, captain and quarterback for the Panthers, was throwing a football after the manner of a sharp-shooter as he whipped pass after pass to his teammates. Breaux was colorful in running up punts, but his adversary had him a bit when it came to gaining. The Panthers put up a determined fight in the early part of the game, and also when they took the field again after the half when six points stood against them Union's line func- AMERICA'S UNRIVALLED REVUE HIT! 9th Sensational Month LEW LESLIE'S BLACK BIRDS with ADELAIDE HALL - BILL ROBINSON AIDA WARD --- TIM MOORE WORLD FAMOUS BLACKBIRDS ORCHESTRA and JOHNNY HUDGINS fastest, funniest & most tuneful extravaganza including the song success of the Nation "I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE" PRICES BOT $100 in $3.00 MATS $1.00 in $2.50 NO TAX ELTINGE THEATRE NW 42ND ST MATS WED & SAT EXTRA MIDNITE SHOW EVERY THURS Atlanta, Ga.—On a beautiful Thanksgiving Day, the Crimson Hurricane of Atlanta University met the Wolverines of Morris Brown University and when the dust had cleared away, the two teams were struggling to untie a 7-7 score. Atlanta kicked to the Morris Brown 10-yard line, the ball being returned to the 35 yard line. The Wolverines failed to gain through the Hurricane line and took to the air. Edwards stopped, this attack by intercepting one of the passes and sprinting to the Morris Brown 20-yard line before being hauled to earth. Morris Brown kicked to Gray who returned the ball twenty yards to be downed in the center of the field. Blackburn kicked to the Morris Brown 20-yard line, from which place Morris Brown promptly kicked. back to the A. U. 30 yard line where Gray again returned the ball twenty-five yards to the center of the field. This first quarter was more of a kicking duel between Blackburn of Atlanta and Tyler of Morris Brown. The quarter ended without either team scoring. The starting of the second quarter seemed to be a signal for substitutions to be made in the Hurricane team and numerous changes were made. These changes did not seem to make much difference in the working of the Alken machine; the players just didn't appear to be in the mood. It was in this period that Morris Brown chalked up her score. After numerous peralities had carried the ball to the Atlanta Lard line and Morris Brown had failed to carry it over in three downs, they resorted as a last effort, to an old time "hocus". The ball was rolled over the goal line where a Morris Brown end (ell on it for a score). The officials termed it a "fumble," and as A. U. does not argue with the officials, a touchdown it remained. The peculiar fact about the play is that it was called to the attention of hite public in 1923, when it was tried successfully on Atlanta University. The officials were new and allowed the decision to remain. Again in 1924 it was repeated, but due to the watchfulness of the officials in that game, the "hoax" was discovered and discredited. Now, in 1928, they find the officials still sleeping and put one over again. Mortis Brown played a wonderful game, but were held in check even then by the listless playing of the A. U. line. The half ended with the Hurricane driving to the Morris Brown goal, leaving the ball on the Wolverine 4-yard strife where it had been carried by smashing line drives. Coming back with a small degree of their usual determination, Atlanta marched straight down the tioned, at times, well, as they held those ripping backs of the Seasider's twice when their goal line was in danger. Of the most colorful on the line there was Boyd, and Booth. Mize "Hampton" Crowned Before the game started, Miss "Hampton" in the person of Miss Francis R.

Litorish, the 23 year old hero of the S. S. Vestris disaster to be held at Rockland Palace, 155th street and Eighth avenue, Thursday evening, December 6. This is the first of a series of civic receptions and balls that will be tendered Litorish in about fifteen of the major cities. Mayor Walker is to present the New York City Medal to Litorish, inasmuch as it was not ready for presentation at the official City Hall reception last week. A large committee composed of leading representative New Yorkers will greet this young hero, Alerdman Fred R. Moore, James Weldon Johnson, Walter F. White of the N. A. A. C. P. Assistant U.

Moses, Clarence Crichlow and a number of others are a part of this committee. U. S. District Attorney Tuttle and several members of his staff have signified their intentions of attending. Tuttle conducted the Vestris inquiry in an admirable manner and has been extremely interested in the heroic conduct of Litorish and the colored crew in general. Senator Nathan Straus, whose father Nathan Straus, sr., headed the $20,000 fund for Licorish, will be present. Mr. Straus, sr., now 82 years old, while extremely interested in Licorish, finds it impossible to do more than support him in raising the endowment fund. It was because of Licorish that Mr. Straus journeyed to the city Hall reception last week and brought forth a condescending remark from Mayor Walker on the situation. Supplementing the civic reception program, John Smith's Orchestra will supply the dance music. A host of Broadway's theatrical stars lent their services for this celebration.

On the other hand, the church folks say that cues were furnished two weeks before hand. My criticism of the instrumental combination was based on years of actual practical experience and is held to despite Mr. Lovinggood's attempted exposure of my ignorance of "modern combinations." As to charging Negro organizations with not knowing the "rudiments of successful coordination ... between a group of amateurs and a group of musicians," and using that as a reason for not giving satisfactory service, it seems to this reviewer that the qualified group ought, to give of its knowledge and experience along those lines, to the group that needs instruction and so contribute towards removing the implied indum attachment to Mr. Lovinggood's charge. IN THE REALM OF MUSIC By LUCIEN H. WHITE Discussing in this column under date of November 3, the inroads of the Vittaphaeon politicians employed in the theatre and nature places, it was stated; after a brief review of the situation, that Local 802 could do nothing but sit supinely by. MARGETSON'S COMPOSITIONS GIVEN AT EVENING SERVICE AT CHAPEL OF THE CRUCIFIXION AT THE ANNUAL MUSICALE This statement seems very wide of the mark as evidenced by a statement mode by-Ruth. Reynolds in a local paper. After referring to trials and disappointments of film critics and disappointments of film critics suitably on the speaking device—by the way, giving credit to "dat. cultuld. filar. Faria, (who) sounds more. Bostonez than Alabama!"—Miss. Reynolds gives us a look at the local 802, in saving $10,000,000 to light this mechanical Bluebeard. It was an unusual musical occasion when the anniversary evening service and musicate at the Chapel of the Custicifixion, 43 West 140th street, the Rev. J. Edmard, priest in charge, presented on Advent Sunday, December 2, at 7:30 o'clock, a program, which featured the compositions, of Edward H. Margetson, the brilliant young pianist, organist and composer, who is organist 'cholmaster of that church.' Save for the setting of the 136th Psalm, which was by Purcell, the entire musical service rendered, was composed by Mr. Margetson. It is recalled in this connection, that in the last, Harmon Awards, announced January, 1928, Mr. Margetson's work as a creative musician was recognized by the awarding to him of one of two second prizes, $100 and a medal. During his years of residence in New York, this young man has won a distinctive place in music circles through his unusual ability, coupled with a keen ambition for the fullest development of that talent. The 2 per cent. tax, which recently has been placed on musicians ((theatrical) is the source of this fighting, fund. Many musicians who have been grumbling about the weekly payment of this tax from their envelop will cease to grumble when they realize the us to which the money is to be put. This tax was supposed to be for a strike benefit, but now it has changed its monicker to "Defense Fund." It was a splendid gesture on part of Rector Edmend to devote this entire evening service to the rendition of Mr. Margetefon's music, and a striking demonstration of the organist's versatility was given in the varying character of the musical compositions rendered by the church choir, with Mr. Margetefon at organ and by the guest artists, Miss Gladys Carty, violinist; Marion Cumbie, cellist, and Chaundry Northern tenor, with the embobber at piano. How it is possible to fight the issue seems at first glance: an impossibility. But when you consider it, you can see why it is affiliated, and its far-reaching effects, you can conjecture that a big and stubborn fight is in the offing. Moving picture houses can have Vitaphone or Movitone, but they all require an experienced artist to screen. All over the United States these men are unionized: union musicians, union moving picture operators, union stagehands. It is not permissible for any one department to work in the same office department is not unionized. For the regular service, Mr. Margeston's settings included three hymns—the Processional, "Love Divine all loves, excelling"; the Recessional, "The day is past and over," and "The King of Love my Stephen is." Then there were the Magnificat and Nune Dimitis, the Sentences and Collect, and the Offerto Anthem, "O. taste and set." All of these were of interest, particularly the Magnificat, Nune Dimitis, and the anthem. The choral structure of the latter proved to be of a most attractive form. An address had been programmed to be given by the Rt. Rev. Herbert Shipman, suffragan bishop, but he had been injured when struck by an auto truck on Saturday and so was unable to be present. A brief address on "Happiness" was delivered by the rector's assistant, Mr. Brown, a Visitor, Mr. Van Cormier, formerly engaged in church work at St. Kitts, where he was associated with Mr. Margeston, and his friend, Mr. Breeman, were introduced and spoke briefly but most complimentarily of Mr. Margeston and his work on the island and of his development since coming to America. And it has been known that one department has gone on a strike if another has been infinitely deals with, by, the, the house, concerned up and thus maintains its acknowledged strength, power and respect from invested capital* $10,000,000 is a large sum but of course does not begin to compare with invested capital. But it is a wager. Following the Offertory, Mr. Margetson came down to the piano, and offered a program of his compositions for the voice, violin, cello and organ. The ring is, clear, the principals are about to enter. Listen for the gong, then wait and watch. Clifford Armstrong, baritone, a member of the choir, sang with good effect, "Saviour, like a Shepherd"; Elaine Deveaux, leading soprano, rendered "Lead us Heavenly Father, and John-Francis and Samuel Fox, tenor and baritone, sang a duet, 'Through the day, Thy Love.' All of these numbers possessed merit and charm." Local 802-issues to each member monthly an "Official Journal" which, among other things, contains an unfair list." The first guest artist was Miss Carty, violinist, and she played a Larghetto, one of the best numbers of the evening. This young girl displayed technical sufficiency, with fine tonal quality and flexible bowing. Mr. Northern, tenor, sang "Lord, keep a clean wind blowing—a new song," and one which should be heard frequently. The singer's offering was one of delicacy, and discretion, with pleasing tone color, evidencing at the same time ample reserve force. Theatres, or individuals named under this heading are not eligible to contract with union musicians union musicians until they have fulfilled the requirement which caused their name to be placed on the "unfair list." Sam Manning, theatrical promoter of the show, was billed and played the Dafayete Theatre the week of November 19. Sam's offering for that week was "Come Now." Another interesting and attractive number was a Serenade, played by Mr. Cumbo, cellist, whose art is ever a delight. The composer has in this number used the contrapuntal form, giving the effect of a dialogue between the cello and piano. In this as in the Larghetto, the accompaniment furnishes a background in keeping with the theme ranging from a simple chord structure to an elaborate arabesque of harmony. Mr. Manning's name had appeared on the 'unfair list' of Local 802 for several months. Yet he was successful in booking a tenpiece orchestra to play his show. Up to Thursday, things went smoothly, but on Friday a union member asked the musicians Sam's status and the musicians were preparing to leave the theatre. A composition for the organ, "Postlude programed to be played by Adolphus Caesar, was played instead by the composer himself, and it proved an enjoyable number. All of the music used was either in manuscript form, or irad been copied on "mimeograph" or by photograph, mimeograph copies of the hymn being supplied the congregation. The Recessional hymn, "The day is past and over," closed the service. Mr. Schiffman, manager, thought it time to get busy and called Local 802 on the phone. Then Mr. Schiffman was told that Sam owed some previous orchestra over $100, and that the national body had informed them of Mr. Manning being at the Lafayette, and the town of Butler. But Mr. Schiffman said he had bought the show from Manning and all the money had been paid to him. THAT DEACON JOHNSON ORCHESTRA In commenting recently on the musical comedy, "Rustic Romco," presented by groups from the membership of Abyssinian Baptist Church, at Manhattan Casino, this reviewer felt impelled to criticize the work of the orchestra, a body of players from the Deacon Johnson music organization. It was termed "The Deacon Johnson Orchestra" by reason of the fact that the contract with the church called for Deacon Johnson to furnish the orchestra. Now, for not keeping in 'touch with their Journal, all the musicians who played the Sam Manhaw show find themselves expelled from the Local. But they can file-an application for membership from the University and the Federation (which will adjudicate the case as they see fit). Such criticism as 'as was made in this column was based on this writer's reaction to the work of the musicians, and even Deacon Johnson himself admitted its fairness and justice. However, one of the men engaged for this occasion by Deacon Johnson, Mr. Penman Lovinggood, a tenor, has been impelled to take up the controversial cudgel to give me a lambasting. That the gentleman is a singer and was not a member of the instrumental group which was criticized on this occasion does not bat him from having a hearing. Undoubtedly, a fine will be inflicted and these men and other musicians will hereafter pay some attention to their Official Journal. Bonell, cornet.player left home to get music from the publishers. That night his wife got word from Bellevue Hospital that he was a patient there. "We wish to reply to Mr. Lucien White's criticism of music furnished by Deacon Johnson at the "Rusicite Romeo" on November 22. "First: With regard to the Deacon Johnson Orchestra, no such orchestra has ever been organized. Mr. White knows that every music contractor in Harlem, hastily assembles a group of musicians at short notice for the purpose of filling the occasional engagements that come in. No orchestra is organized on a no-work basis." The contract under which we were working called for nine-pieces of music. No agreement was entered into, for Deacon Johnson's Orchestra. No such orchestra exists. Standing at Sixth avenue and 50th street, Bonelli was hit from behind by an auto. He was kept at the hospital a few days and then sent home. He is being treated by a private physician. Several hemorrhages have resulted and he might be more seriously hurt than he was when he was good cornet player, regularly employed by the best bookers, and has lost many engagements by the accident. "Mr. White knew these conditions, having discussed them with those concerned. He also knew that the persons engaging the orchestra were unwilling to abide by the rules of the Musical Union with regard to rehearsals; contracting to have such rehearsals as was convenient for the musicians, and working nightly, no rehearsals were convenient. Many musicians are calling on musicians to symathize in his accidien "With regard to the combination," Mr. White apparently doesn't know that the modern combinations accompany singers, shows and most every other kind of performance. The auto. owners have repeatedly called to settle the ina liter, but so far no decision has been reached in the matter. "With regard to satisfactory performance, one might ask how can satisfaction ever be expected under the methods employed by Negro organizations, contracting for service, when they don't know the rudiments of successful coordination and cooperation between a group of animateurs and a group of musicians? "PENMAN LOVINGGOOD." This reviewer has no intention of entering a controversy over this matter, and is simply giving this much attention because of the mutually friendly respect which obtains between hintself and Deacon Johnson, and because of willingness to let the other fellow be heard. It is begging the question to cavil at use of the term; "Deacon Johnson's Orchestra," notwithstanding the "slip-shod, haphazard method of recruiting these musical groups, for the leader's name is universally used as a designating title, and will be, I suppose, as long as human vanity is what it is. I am afraid Mr. Livinggood is crediting me with more knowledge than is in my possession when he says, I had discussed conditions with those concerned, and that I knew that the persons engaging the orchestra were, unwilling to abide by the rules of the Musical Union." I just didn't know anything of the sort. After the affair was over Deacon Johnson explained the failure of his men to give satisfactory results by saying that proper cues and scores were not available, and that only the pianist and violinist had rehearsed with the producing 139 WEST 136th STREET New York, N.

MARTIN, Director Omoha, Neb.-At the National Conference for Social Work, here November 12, one of the principal speakers was Eugene Kittlez Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, New York City. Mr. Jones spoke on "The Negro Opportunity Today," declaring that the "problem of race relations was hardly touched upon throughout the late Presidential campaign except by speakers before Negro audiences." But said he, "it is one of the great questions which America must settle and settle right." Continuing, Mr. Jones said: Plays Important Part. The racial group that plays the most important, part in this problem is the Negro and this problem is no longer a sectional problem. It is one in which the whole of America is concerned. In former years the cause of the Negro has been championed by the northern whites. The southern whites have insisted that it was their problem and should be handled by them and by them only—and the Negro through his spokesmen has demanded equal opportunity all over America for every Negro. "In a large measure the northern whites have conceded that the problem is one, the 'solution' of which should be directed by the southern points of view and the southerners through their most liberal leaders have acknowledged at least that it cannot be settled, through continued oppressive measures directed against the Negro but should be thought out and settled on a basis of mutual understanding. The old idea of the Negro being a drawer of water and a hewer of wood because of his incapacity to absorb modern civilization has been discarded at the behest of science. Intelligence tests and Negro achievement have belied the theories of prejudiced anthropologists; ethnologists and sociologists; who began their investigations with preconceived ideas of the Negro's inferiority. Uncovered Racial Culture ..... "In recent years, students of past civilizations have, uncovered evidence of a Negro racial culture which antedates the beginning of our modern culture. Even in the art world there is a profound current influence of modern art of the African Negro are of the 9th, 10th and 11th centuries. "The Negro's great opportunity today is in America." Africa, his homeland, has been partitioned by the powers of Europe and, his rights have been denied him there. In an increasing degree European civilization has been established over his protest. British South Africa is the best example of this, rage of the Negro's lands; but East and West Africa, the Sudan and the French, Dutch, Belgian, Italian and Fortugise colonies have developed, systems of government and political control which make it difficult for the Africans to have full possession of their lands and to influence to any great degree their political destiny. Only Liberia and Abyssinia remain as free countries and there is some question as to how long they can remain independent in thought and action with the great economic developments there that are in contemplation or in actual operation backed by tremendous foreign capital. America is the country which has advocated the principle of a democratic free government where opportunity shall be denied to no man to make of himself all that his innate powers may enable him to realize. We could point to many evidences of the failure of this theory, in practice - in the other hand we can all point to innumerable instances in which there is a church folks say that cities were furial combination was based on years is held to despite Mr. Lovinggood's use of "modern combinations"ations with not knowing "the rudi...between a group of amateurs and that as a reason for not giving sat-reviewer that the qualified group and experience along those lines, to and so, contribute towards -removing Mr. Lovinggood's charge.

Phone Orange 7344 tendency, towards the realization of this idea. Negro in America "The Negro in America passed through two hundred and fifty years, of slave regnic. This has been followed up by sixty years of strivings and, promise, punctuated here, and there by lynchings, grandfather clause enactments, peonage, segregation laws, denial of rights before the bar of public opinion and the bar of justice. But despite all of this, the curve of progress measurement for the Negro has been upward. His chance in the economic field probably has shown the greatest promise. His occupations have improved in type, and remuneration. His business, development although slow, has surely been moving forward. Blanka fire and life insurance companies, grocery stores, drug stores, haberdasheries, electrical supply stores, theaters, and real estate operations are lines in which improvement has been noted. There never was a time in the Life of the Negro in which there was greater demand for men and women of the very best possible training and well informed ambitious young men are seeking graduate training and the advanced degrees preparatory to entering the professions. "In the cultural field probably the most significant change has occurred. On Broadway, there is an actual demand for Negro plays whether written by Negroes, acied by Negroes or dealing with Negroes. Newspapers, periodicals, and forums as never before are discussing the Negro from many angles. "A year, ago, I would-probably have said that the Negro's political outlook did not lack promise and I still, shall, not say that his political skill is dark, but certainly in the last political campaign every effort was made by both of the major political parties to cater to the support of those forces which have traditionally sought to deny the Negro his political status. "His, representation on legislative bodies, however, in New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nebraska and California, during the past few years has indicated an increasing strength politically in the northern and western communities, and the recent election of the first Negro to Congress in forty years gives us much food for thought on the possibilities of the Negro in politics in the future. White Man's Opportunity "The white man has the opportunity to aid the Negro in the development of those forces that will encourage his steady progress, not only from the altruistic point of view but from the point of view of self-interest. "The white man has the opportunity to aid the Negro in developing a higher type of leadership through helping him to provide superior, training of collegiate grade to those who are to be leaders of the rank and file of the Negro group. He can help in providing better secondary education and industrial training for the Negro rank and file so as to build up an economically stronger middle class. The white man can help by encouraging within his own race in belief in the essential equality of mankind and by encouraging the Negro to feel that his race's members may become self-passed, EDWIN COATES 139 W. 136th St. New York City Piano Composition Harmony Ear Training RAYMOND CLAYMES Phone: Edgetombe 6944 "Mr. Claymes has a voice with a soul and a Rare Interpretative Sense."

Labor Conditions As Shown By Urban League According to a bulletin issued by the industrial department of the National Urban League, by T. Arnold Hill, director, colored workers were employed during October for the first time by the street railway company of Detroit in construction and maintenance of way. In Canton, a metal product company is assigning one colored man each week as an apprentice in skilled work; and another oil station in Kansas City is manned by ./Negro personnel. In Los Angeles, while 500 extra have been employed by a movie studio, and a Negro salesman has been taken on by a shoe company for the first time, the general condition is not favorable and Negro labor is advised not to go to Los Angeles unless with sufficient funds for maintenance. In St. Louis and Chicago, Negro workers in factories and restaurants are being replaced by whites. In Philadelphia, 29. Negro elevator operators in Snellenburg's Department Store went on strike for an increase in wages from $16 and $19 per week to $25, and they are being paid a strike allowance of half their weekly wages by the International Union of Elevator Constructors. White girls have replaced them. They have been on strike since October 26.

For centuries man has been plagued with this question. In fact, ever since the beginning of his long hike along the road of evolution, man has been confronted with the question at every stage of his journey. And in spite of the wars he has waged, the misfortunes he has accused and the cruelties he has inflicted, against and upon his brother, he is still confronted with it. But, be it said to his credit, in his moments of peace and contrition he has made, and is still making, sincere efforts to answer the question and answer it truthfully. For proof of this, we need go no further for illustrations than the history of our own country. And for concrete examples, it is not necessary for one to go beyond the bounds of Manhattan Island. In this area alone answers sufficient for the most pessimistic will be found to verify this. It was during a recent visit to Bellevue Hospital to see a sick friend, who is a patient there, that the question was brought most forcibly to my mind. The question really began as I approached the hospital's entrance. The first thing that brought it to my mind, and caused me to reflect on its relation to life, was the hasty rush of ambalances entering and leaving the courtyard, of the gloomy and silent building. On gaining the entrance, there was another occasion for reflection. I did not know which way to proceed. Fortunately, there was an information bureau, such as one meets in every large railway terminal building. And I might say just here, with all due respect to the attendants at these railway bureans, they could learn a lesson in rendering courtesy with dispatch by visiting the information bureau of Father Kutckerbocker's largest and most charitable institution. Despite the number of persons of different nationalities, some of whom could hardly speak any English, seeking information, the attendants at this bureau are models—if their general behavior on this occasion is a criterion—for patience, courtesy and dispatch. Without a minute's wait, the attendant politely inquired the name of the patient whom I desired to see. When this was given he ran his finger down a long list with the deftness of an expert accountant and when the name was reached, looked up, smiled and said, "Ward—— it's across the yard to your right, take elevator to second floor." His affability and speed impressed me. Reaching the passageway that leads to this elevator, I was confused again as to which direction I should go, but was pleasantly told by an attendant stationed there that "the elevator was directly around the corner." I found it eventually. Its operator was engaged in directing several women, evidently of foreign birth, how to reach the ward they wanted. In fact, the atmosphere of consideration and courtesy, which seemed to be general with the attendant personnel, gave this medical asylum for the poor an inner warmth which its outer appearance helps. Finally reaching the ward in which my friend so helplessly lay, the question had grown to full size. And as I glanced at the other inmates and noted their womens focus and bedridden bodies, pillowed on linen that was spotlessly white, the thought came, here is the true answer to that question. I received further confirmation of this from my friend. It came in this way: I rummaged, how is it that there are only four patients in this ward, when there appears to be accommodations for that many move? "Ah," weakly replied my friend, "you can never tell what will happen here twelve hours hence. This room is likely to be so crowded with incoming cases that improvised beds will have to be placed in every available space to accommodate them. You know, explained my friends; no person who needs medical attention is ever turned away from Bellevue." I left this drab but merciful building more convinced than ever, that here was one place above all others in this inhomogeneous city in which the question of "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" was truthfully answered. GOOD AND SUFFICIENT REASONS No matter how many organizations Pullman porters may have and of what character they may consist, as we see it, there are very good and sufficient reasons why they should have an organization which will be beneficial to them when they reach the age of retirement. This is so obvious, to those who are personally, acquainted with the condition of some of these retired Pullman porters, that it seems nothing short of deplorable that some such organization does not exist among them. The recent move that is being made to form an association should insist the sympathy and co-operation of every thinking man who wears the uniform of a Pullman porters. It's all right for the porter to belong to as many organizations as he can afford. All organizations are helpful to their membership if the objects for which they are formed are attained. On the other hand, there are some organizations which are mostly beneficial to the member when he is in his prime. In the case of retired Pullman porters, we can not recall to mind any single group of workers whose amount of pension is so inadequate to meet halfway the ordinary needs of the pensioned member as is that of the retired Pullman porter. Unfortunately, it so happens that the Pullman employee pension system is patented after that of the railroad employee pension plan. A retired railroad employee is given a certain per cent per month of the wages he earned in the last ten years of his active service. But that is about as near to the railroad's pension plan as the Pullman plan functions, so far as the retired porter is concerned. The pension of the retired railroad trainman, we'll say, for example, is practically twice that of the retired Pullman porter. As a matter of fact, this pension is so small, when based upon the actual wages of the porter, that the Pullman Company adds an additional sum of $62.20 per year to the regular pension stipend. This, however, is subject to withdrawal or discontinuance. An instance of the situation of one retired porter was furnished the writer recently. This veteran was speaking about his monthly pension and how it is utilized. Said he: "Each month, as soon as I get my pension check I sign, it turn it over to my wife, who with what she earns, turns it over to the landlord. For myself, I don't have enough left from it to buy a five cent credit." Now that is only one case, and it's reasonable to suppose that there are many more such cases among this group of retired employees. If there were an organization whose object is to help the porter when he is active to prepare himself for this period in his life, such cases would not have any excuse for existing. As we understand it, one of the plans of this new movement is to get the cooperation of the Pullman Company in devising some means of making better pensions for the retired porter. If this can be obtained, the organization of Veteran and Retired Pullman Porters is almost an assured fact. Anyway, there are good reasons why it should become a fact.
