E Zion Church and the late Mrs. Martha Hill Brown, wife of the pastor of that church, tried to crowd into the main auditorium of that church Thursday evening, December 6, to pay a final tribute over her remains. Only about 2,200 were able to get into the auditorium, but at least another thousand remained in the lecture room, in the basement, and the corridors of the building during the services. The Rev. Dr. Jampa W. Brown, husband of the deceased, stricken by pneumonia the day before his wife died, was in St. Luke's Hospital unable to attend the funeral. Held Long Service. The funeral services lasted from eight until nearly twelve, and many distinguished priests and church members had words of praise for her ability and years of unselfish service to the church. The service began with the singing by the choir of "Asleep in Jesus," followed by Scripture reading by the Rev. L. G. Mason; prayer by the Rev. James E. Mason; the reading of another passage of the scripture by the Rev. S. A. McNell; anthem, Mother Zion senior choir; direction of C. F. LeGarry, chanter. The Rev. D: Ward Nichols, pastor of Emmanuel A.

IN CONSULATE SERVICE LILLIE MAIE HUBBARD Clerk, attached to U. S. Consulate at Oporto, Portugal, who sailed Tuesday, returning to duty after visiting home folks at Chicago. CONSULATE CLERK RETURNS TO HER PORTUGAL STATION Served 5 Years At Monrovia Post, Has Been At Oporto One Year CONSULATE CLERK RETURNS TO HER PORTUGAL STATION Served 5 Years At Monrovia Post, Has Been At Oporto One Year Miss Lillie Mae Hubbard, a clerk attached to the American Consulate at Oporto, Portugal, who has been in the United States for several weeks on vacation, was in New York from Thursday, December 6, to the Tuesday lesson she sailed on board the SS Roussion of French Line enroute back to her host. Miss Hubbard is the only race woman in the U. S. Consular Service. Miss Hubbard is the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. E. B. Hubbard, formerly of Mississippi and Chicago, Baptist missionaries at Monrovia, Liberna, since 1922, and she was for five years a clerk in the American Legation. Ill health brought the necessity, for a change of locality, and she was transferred to Oporto, where W. Y. Irbey of Chicago is the Consult. Since going to Oporto a year ago, Miss Hubbard has mastered the Japanese language sufficiently to maintain close contact with the native and has been serving as organist for the little Baptist church and Sunday school which is being built up there despite the strong Catholic surroundings. Has African Art Collection While in Liberia, she made a splendid collection of examples of African art and artisanship, including women goods, and while at her home in Chicago, where her address is 4423 Calumet avenue, she loaned the entire collection to the local Y. W. C. A., which now has it on exhibition. An effort is to be made to secure the Hubbard Collection for temporary exhibiting in the Division of Negro Literature and History of the New York Public Library, now housed in the West 135th street branch, under supervision of Mrs. Katherine Latimer, and on view to 9 p.m. each day. Miss Hubbard was entertained while in New York by Miss Leola Nelson, physical director of the West 137th Street Y, W. C. A., and was a guest at the Emma Ransom House.

Dr. Brown Improving Reports from the bedside of the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, who is ill at the St. Luke Hospital with pneumonia, on Wednesday morning, were that he is now getting alrnicels and seems to be out of danger. The good nature of colored citizens riding on a Broadway subway coming north about 6 p. m. Sunday, December 9, prevented three drunken sailors from starting what might have been a serious race riot. The three sailors came on the train at the Pennsylvania station so drunk they could hardly walk. The car was crowded and a number of people were standing. Wanted Family To Move One of the sailors saw a colored family sitting—a man, a woman and two children—and, then, he came over, and in a loud voice said, "Stand up, niggers, and let white people sit down." The colored man made no reply and this seemed to infuriate the sailor. He boisterously announced that he and his companions were from the Battleship Wyoming, and that all the sailors aboard that vessel were from below the Mason and Dixie line. While his companions laughed, the drunken sailor, told his audience that where he came from, "niggers" were not permitted to remain seated while white people stood up. Flourished Whiskey Bottle He continued using profane language to the colored group he first addressed until finally, they got up and left the train at 72nd street. The sailor then turned his attention to another Negro in the car and demanded that he stand up. At first this man attempted to ignore the intruder but when he pulled a whiskey bottle from his pocket and began flowishing it about the head of the colored man, while he and his companions used threatening and abusive language, the man finally stood and remained standing until the sailors left the car at 110th street and Lenox avenue. White Passengers Protected. Several white people on the train attempted to remonstrate with the sailors, but they were silenced by the sailors with the question. "You don't think a 'nigger' is as good as you are, do you?" Most of the colored passengers on the car were women, and several said they were just hoping the sailors would come up as far as 135th street. A similar occurrence happened on an elevated train on the 6th avenue line one Sunday night some months ago, when another group of drunken southern white sailors attempted to eject Negro passengers from the train, and even attempted to assault a white man who protested against their rewdy actions. Alderman Fred R. Moore. In Automobile Accident While enroute to the reception to Lionel Licorish, hero of the Vertres, at Rockland Palace about midnight Thursday, December 6, the automobile in which Alderman Fred R. Moore and several friends were riding was struck by a taxi cab and almost turned over. The occupants were all shaken up and two had to receive medical attention. They were Mrs. Etna Rocher Boute, who suffered from shock, and Ira de A. Reid. The party was being driven to the casino in the automobile owned by Dr. E. P. Roberts, but the doctor was not one of the passengers. Those in the car were Dr. and Mrs. M. V. Boutte, Mr. and Mrs. Ira D. Reid and Alderman Moore Theodore Phillips, chauffeur for Dr Roberts, was driving. Hayward Artis of 2272 Seventh avenue, was the driver of the taxi, and he is alleged to have been making 40 miles an hour coming down Eighth avenue. Dr Roberts' Packard was well out from the crossing when the taxi neared the corner but would not concede the right of way to the other car. Chauffeur Phillips probably prevented any fatalities by turning his car in the direction of the taxi as they came together. The fender of the private car was demolished and glass in one of the windows broken. 'Artis' was arrested by Patrolman Groce of the 16th Precinct on a charge of reckless driving and driving without a license. He was found $25 in Traffic Court in Magistrate McCreary the next morning: ANOTHER HOLDUP BANDIT CAUGHT BY PATROLMAN Two Hold Up Lenox Avenue Grocer; One Is Caught Trying To Escape ANOTHER HOLDUP BANDIT CAUGHT BY PATROLMAN Two Hold Up Lenox Avenue Grocer; One Is Caught Trying To Escape For the third weekend in succession young Negro holdup men were arrested on the charge of holding up stores or theatres in Harlem. On Saturday, December 6, near midnight. Patrolman Westervelt was patrolling his post on Lenox avenue, near 132nd street, when he noticed two young men running from the grocery store at 454, owned by Joseph Speizer. Their actions aroused his suspicions and when he called upon them to halt, they started running, but the policeman was near enough to catch one who proved to be Jimmy Harris, 20, or 63 West 140th street. According to Mr. Speizer, the two men entered his store just as he was about to close up and while one backed him into a corner at the point, of a revolver, the other opened the cash register and took $200. Harris had a revolver on his person when arrested and was identified as the man who had held the grocer up. He was given a hearing before Magistrate Vitale in the Heights Court on Monday and held without bail to await the action of the grand jury. Perry Howard On Trial In Jackson, Miss., Court Jackson, Miss.-In the trial of Perty Howard, National Republican Committeeman from Mississippi, on the charge of hating sold political prisoner. A.H. Russell former postmaster at Magee, testified that $1,500 was paid for the appointment of a Federal Marshal for the Southern District. Besides Howard, a former Assistant U. S. Attorney General, those on trial are Ed. L. Patton, S. D. Redmond and A. M. Redmond of Jackson, and J. Scott Hubbard, suspended marshall. The name named is white. The five were indicted at Biloxi last summer. Russell, a disgruntled white man said he paid the money, in cash in Howard's office in Washington, and that Redmonds and Patton were present. All of the defendants deny the charges and pleaded not guilty. Move to Impeach Witness. Jackson, Miss.—Efforts to impeach the testimony of A. P. Russell were started by the defense on Tuesday, December 11, when he resumed the stand after having declared Monday that he had paid money to be appointed United States Marshal of the Southern District of Mississippi. James W. Cassidy, chief defense counsel, inquired whether during the grand jury inquiry Russell had not asked "gus Woodock," a bailiff, to help "frame these Negroes" and had not told Woodock that he had "plenty of money and was, backed by the crowd." He was asked if Russell had not sought the aid of Scott Hishard to "help frame the Negroes." Russell entered a flat denial to all the charges, but Cassidy told the court he would produce two witnesses to prove them.

W. C. A. Annual Budget Campaign. In the West 137th Street Branch departments were busy day and night trying to reach their departmental quotas, which had been assigned in goach case, according to the money-getting strength of the group. One by one they reached their goal, thus pushing their Branch quota up and up. Records of The Teams Team 54, made up of the Girl Reserve, Physical, Business and Industrial Education and membership Departments, raised $2,430.09. Mrs. Adah B.

The men who who acted on this team and who acted in an advisory capacity to the campaign committee, were Alderman Fred R. Moore, Watt Terry and Wm. Willis. To these men goes the full measure of credit for the great part they played from start to finish. Terry Underwrote Deficit It was Mr. Terry who, when it seemed that the workers had drained all possible coffers of cash, and wery still a little less than $200 behind, underwrote that amount and pushed West 157 Street Branch OVER THE TOP! At the final meeting, Mrs. W E. Carson, campaign chairman, was compensated for her laborers when she reported the total sum of $0,111.50, and the branch quota reached. Mrs. Cecchea C.

Dr. Moton Tells Farmers That Land Ownership Is Necessary To Race's Contribution To South's Progress Annual Farmers' Conference At Tuskegee Institute Hears Agricultural Experts Advice, Then Some Tell Of Personal Exeriences Tuskegee Institute; Ala.—Attending the 38th annual Tuskegee Negro Conference here Wednesday and Thursday, December 5 and 6, were representatives of many phases of Negro life. In the main these were those "hard-working farmers and mechanics—the bone and sinew of the Negro race—ministers and teachers," the groups to whom 38 years ago Booker T. Washington issued the call for the first conference. There were prominent educators attending the meeting of the executive committee of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. There were agents of the Rosenwald fund who also held a meeting. There were, too, agents of the United States Agricultural Extension Service. And then there were some 300 boys and girls of 4-H Clubs which held their fourth annual camp. Monday through Wednesday. composed of two sections. The first, which met Wednesday, is known as the Farmers Conference; the other which held session Thursday, as the Workers Conference. The farmers discussed land-ownership for the Negro farmer. Home improvement was the topic of the Workers' Conference, attended by teachers, ministers and others rendering social service in rural districts. Better Farming Methods. The Conference, which aims to bring to the Negro in the rural districts information on better methods of farming and home life, is INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OPENED ON HOWARD CAMPUS British Ambassador Was Principal Speaker For Dedication Washington, D.C.-Sir Esme Howard, British Embassador to the United States, addressed students of Howard University at noon, on December 10, in connection with the dedicatory exercises incident to the opening of the new International House. The program consisted of a brief address by President Mordecai W. Johnson; an address on "The Significance of an International Mind," by Prof Alain Leroy Locks; Lester Dorsey sang the Spiritual "The Bun in de Storm Sojourn"; the Ole Club Sang "Swing Low Sweet Chant," and "Deep River," and Rewan O. Murray president of the International House, spoke on the purposes of the new organization. Sir Esme Howard stated that he was interested in the occasion, particularly, as one tending to promote a better understanding by nations of each others problems and difficulties, and to increase good will throughout the world. He expressed the belief that international students' movements which are growing yearly, will, before long, come to have a very important influence on international politics. Club Is First of Kind Following services at the chapel, the British Ambassador, with members of the International Club, deans of the several Colleges, and other members of the faculty, was a guest of the university at lunch. The new International Club is the first of its kind, sponsored by Negro students and accepts for its objectives, among others, the elimination of prejudice in all forms and the promotion of international understanding and good will. It is to sustain the greatest possible contact with international organizations of the world and expects to provide a fund with which to send delegates to the world conferences. Chief Amoah III To Be At St. James' Church Chief Amouh III, of Gold Coast West Africa, will be a visitor at St. James Presbyterian Church, 141st street St. Nicholas Avenue, Sunday morning, December 16th, and will address the Forum of this church at 4 o'clock, p. m. This is the Chief's third visit to America and he has some very interesting things to tell of his native Country and his travels composed of two sections. The first, which met Wednesday, is known as the Farmers Conference, the other which held session Thursday, as the Workers Conference. The farmers discussed land-ownership for the Negro farmer. Home improvement was the topic of the Workers' Conference, attended by teachers, ministers and others rendering social service in rural districts. "It is as a landowner and not as a tenant that the Negro will contribute his best to the development of the South," declared Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute in an address to the farmers. "If we are to contribute to the progress and share in the prosperity of this section we will have to, in increasing numbers, take advantage of the opportunities to acquire land, and become independent land-owning farmers. Must Improve. Home Life We will have to improve the general level of our home life, to take measures to safeguard our health, to see that our children have the opportunity to become educated. Thus, we will join the entire South in attaining that "ever increasing prosperity" to which Mr Hoover pledges his heartiest cooperation; and our efforts will have the backing and support of thousands of white people here in our section." John B Pierce, a graduate of Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes, now field agent, United States Agricultural Extension Service, told the farmers that if they are willing to pay the price they can get what they want. Brains Needed In Farming. "A man who can successfully operate a farm as a tenant, manage it efficiently and produce good paying crops, ought to be able to do even better as a landowner. There are, of course a great many people in agriculture who ought to be in other lines; who do not know how to manage, who think they need no special knowledge to run a farm. What we need on the farm is not numbers but men of brains who know the business of farming. "Ownership stabilizes the family, gives it standing in the community. It inspires that family, making the wife and mother mistress of her home and instilling in the Children a feeling of pride in ownership. It establishes the citizenship of the farmer. He becomes an integral part of the community and should share fully in making that community what it ought to be." Dr William Jay Schieffelin, of New York, chairman of the Tuskegee Institute board of trustees, spoke briefly comparing agricultural conditions in this section with those in Maine where he owns farm. "You have resources in soil; climate and length of season which 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.

Chambers of the United States' Department of Agriculture, called attention to the responsibility resting upon each farmer to make his farm a demonstration in his community. If one farmer can make a good living and have a comfortable home it will inspire the others in the community to do likewise. The Wednesday morning session was given over to an open forum at which farmers told of their successes and failures (mostly successes) and answered questions, fired at them from the floor. Rich and Racy Talk. In rich and racy language, favored with the soil Matt Gress, of Castleberry, Ala., known as the "strawberry king" told the story of his success, how he began growing strawberries, the methods of cultivation, he employed and the marketing of his crops. "Twenty years ago," Gross stated, "I was penitentless. Then a white friend gave me some strawberry slices to put on. I didn't anymore know what to do with a penicillin. But on the advice of my friend who also furnished me fertilizer, I set out an acre of them. That first year I didn't do so well because I didn't know anything about penicillin so good and tasted so good that I decided to try them another year." Record Strawberry Grower And so for 20 years Gross has grown strawberries which for qal- are rated the best grown by the more than 600 cultivators in that district. He markets them through the strawberry association. He owns a farm of 150 acres, all of which are in the strawberries. He planted last year near- 4000 crates, which netted him $8750. He is the father of 15 children on no one of whom he has ever had to spend a cent "to out of trouble" The many questions asked him indicated considerable interest in strawberry culture. Other farmers wanted to know how he did the type of plants he used methods, planting, fertilizing, type of soil in the labor and marketing. To all these questions Matt Gross had ready and informing answers. Drew Reese From Customer John C. Clayrocks, of Simsboro, Ark, winner of a certificate of merit as the most outstanding farmer in his state, is a farmer and a baimerman owning 1,400 acres, 890 of which are, under cultivation. Clayrocks began work at 75 cents a day in a sawmill. He worked and saved his money; bought a small plot of land, worked it himself; made money and increased his holdings. "Before entering any proposition," he told the farmers, "I always study it through and see how anoming. One cannot expect success unless he studies his problems, makes plans and sticks on the job. The main thing in farming as in other businesses is never to take on more than you can handle. Never go in debt to the people you are selling to. It is all right to get lands, but don't borrow from your customers." Declaration of the Thirty-eighth Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference. Because we believe that the key to an assured future is ownership of land, we propose as follows that we oppose the maxim of Booker T. Washing- "We have vacancies in the following houses, having steam heat, hot, water, white minks and electric light throughout: 47-49 WEST 139th STREET 5 Rooms and Bath 40-4244 W. 135th STREET 4 and 5 Rooms and Bath 232 WEST 122nd STREET 8 Rooms and Bath 2573 EIGHTH AVE.

Payton, Jr. Company 322 LENOX AVE. Bet. 126th and 127th Sts. Tel. Harlem 8092 SUPERIOR ART PRODUC PICTURES COLORED OPPORTUNI ton, "Get Land." We believe that landowners make a better producer of the farmer; a more careful conserver of the country's resources and a more dependable, citizen, conscious of his responsibilities to his race, his country and posterity. 1 There are, we realize, difficulties that lie in the way of acquiring land. There is first, the lack of capital. And there is, the difficulty of securing aid from banks and other agencies at low rates of interest. Despite the Negro than the white, Despite handicaps, out of the 900,000 Negro farmers in the South, some 200,000 are landowners. Cooperative Buying of Land. We would call to the attention of Negro farmers that in addition to buying land as individuals, farms may be acquired cooperatively that is; by pooling the resources of the many, arranging for the purchase of large tracts of land, and saddiving. This, it appears to us is not only a sale and economic means acquiring for the purchase which results of equal importance are derived. It teaches the value of group organization and group action—a lesson very necessary in the forward movement of any people. We therefore, suggest some such means for the Negro farmer in his effort to establish himself as a landowner. Not only may cooperation be used in the purchase of land but also in the marketing of crops. Profitable cooperation in the marketing of crops is effected by the Black Belt counties of Alabama. The fields for cooperative moves, means being many there is still much that may be done. Improve the Homes. Our Homes in too many instances are in need of the simplest conveniences of modern life. Some of these are lacking because we have not always used the means at our command; and others because we have had no means. We can not too strongly impress upon our farmers the necessity of taking every possible step to improve appearance (furnishings, in convenience and in sanitary provisions. Especially difficult is this matter of family adjustment, of maintaining as a happy unit parents and children. The farm youth are, lured away and will continue to be lured away until rural life affords all the benefits and opportunities offered by the city. Notworthy efforts in that direction are being made by the Smith-Hughe agents, canvassors and other agencies, also by the Boys and Girls' 4-H clubs. While the South has made notable advance in providing rural education for white children, opportunities for black children, are lamentably insufficient. There still remain vast areas where there shall be at least 50,000 schools where the length of the school term is five months or less and where teachers are wretchedly underpaid. This condition among the white children of the South has been met by the consolidated public elementary schools with transportation for pupils which have made it possible to pay high salaries and to provide better teaching facilities. Such consolidated elementary schools for Negro children are few and far between. Of the $20,000,000 raised for the erection of the more than 4,000 Rosenwain schoolhouses, Negro schools are less than 20,000. Werely appreciate the service which Mr. Julius Rosenwain has rendered not only by materially aiding us in the erection of schools but by stimulating an interest in education and encouraging interacial cooperation. Health Plans. Disease knows no color line. In no community can you have an epidemic among blacks that leaves whites untouched. Much of the sickness among blacks is caused by the most elemental layer of sanitation and hygiene. This is a condition that can be largely ameliorated through employment of public health nurses in each county. A number of counties have been planning to do so in the near future. With mutual understanding, and cooperation we believe that we can look forward to that glad day when race conflict will be greatly minimized.

Fraternal Women To Help Xmas Seal Sales Mrs. A. L. Sightler and Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton entertained at a tea for leaders in women's fraternal groups at Mrs. Keaton's home, 210 N. 10th Street, New York, December 1. The affair was arranged in order to tell the women something about the work of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee; and to interest them in the annual Christmas Seal Sale now open. Mrs. K. Z.-W. Whipple, of the staff of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, and secretary of the Christmas Seal Sale for New York City, described the Association's activities, and explained the relation of the Harlem Committee to the Christmas Seal association. She said that the Association receives most of the funds to carry on its program of health education and disease prevention in New York, City from the annual Christmas Seal Sale. The work is continued throughout the year, but the public appeal for fists is made once during the Christmas between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mrs. Keaton told the guests something about the Harlem Committee which works the year-round to aid the sick and protect the well in Harlem. It maintains an information service where anyone may receive help with health questions. It carries on many activities in the community and operates a dental clinic and a health examination clinic. The women present declared that they would give the Christmas Seal Sale their support and, offered to be members of their fraternal group about the work supported by the Sale. Among those present were: Mesdames K. Z. W. Whipple, Mary Cherry, Augusta M. B. Corbin, De Leon Leonard, Justin Bell, A. Bhee Blocker, Bessie M. Digres*Blocker, Bessie M.

Address your inquiries to SERVICE FOR INVESTORS THE NEW YORK AGE 230 WEST 1355th STREET NEW YORK CITY ACCUMULATING INVESTMENT CAPITAL There is never much object in putting the cart before the horse. Before we begin a discussion of the various kinds of investment it might be excellent to talk over the initial step of accumulating funds. Saving money is one of the most important milestones of people. The difficulty usually lies in lack of method or system. Anything done in a haphazard way is rarely successful. Saving money might be compared to building a house. No one can well imagine a group of masons, plasterers and plumbers getting together and sayure. "Well, we'll pile them in the plaster," the thing together and see how it books. Come on to work whenever you feel like it!" 2. The average wage-earner should save at least 10 per cent of his income: Of course, no hard and fast rule can be laid down. Naturally a married man with several children can not put aside as much as a single man. The important fact is that he should say something and save something systematized as the teacher, builder, James Hill, remarked. "Slow me a man who can . . . save and I'll show you a man who will never be a success." As savings bank is the most practical consideration. It is easily accessible to all, and accepts money in practically any amount from a few dollars up. Into a savings bank account a portion of the weekly salary should be deposit in the bank, and be five dollars or a hundred. Use the savings bank as a means to an end, not as the end itself. The goal should be the accumulation of between one and two thousand dollars. Fifteen hundred is a practical amount, for when that is saved a thousand dollars may be deposited in a bank or bonds, leaving five hundred each as an emergency fund. Again, no absolute rule can be given for the amount to be saved, but with a definite goal as an objective. saving becomes a comparatively easy task. At the present time savings banks pay between 4 and 4½ per cent on deposits, compounded at regular interest, which is a very powerful aid to savings, means that as interest falls on a bank balance, usually at the end of every three months, it is credited to that balance, and at the next interest date interest is charged. It is interesting to note that at 45 per cent compound interest any sum will double itself at the end of fifteen years, and at 6 per cent in twelve years. After investments have been made in securities, the interest or dividend received by the bank in the bank and this magic compound interest again taken advantage of. To sum up: Save, systematically weekly or by the month. Place these funds in a savings bank of established reputation that pays 4 or 45 percent interest, quarterly if possible. Hold a bond with mind, and with this sum is reached withdraw it for investment, leaving sufficient in bank for any contingency that arise Deposit all dividends and interest from securities as soon after receiving them as possible. And above all, have the course, determination, and patience to "stick to your goals" to follow this policy to mustful conclusion once you've started it. The next article will describe the various types of bonds. Apartments To Let 115th STREET, 72 EAST 3 and 4 Rooms, Hot Water supply, tile baths and elec- city. Just open, reasonable rent. S. J.

Audubon 3073 Medical Center Official Breaks Four Weeks Silence With Denial Of Segregation In Its Hospital Following the death of Mrs. Martha Hill Brown, wife of the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, the New York Evening Journal of December 1 prints a statement accredited to officials of the new Medical Center on Washington Heights, denying that Mrs. Brown was refused a private room at the Presbyterian Hospital, as was charged in astory printed in The New York Age on November 4. No statement for publication is hitherto been made by any of the hospital officials, and this slice of more than four weeks is low broken, according to the journal story, by "Executive Vice-President Bush, who is quoted as doing emphatically the charge of rage discrimination." "But we can furnish private rooms to patients of any color for six dollars a day." Bush concluded. Center In Fight. The Harlem Medical Center Association was reported to be taking steps to correct existing conditions Inquired As To Color In the story printed in the Age it was alleged that Mrs. Brown's physician, Dr. U. Conrad Vincent, had advised her to enter the Presbyterian Hospital for treatment, and had applied at that hospital for a private room. Hospital employees, said the story, called U. Vincent's office and Mrs. Brown home on the phone, inquiring each case to the patient's facial identity and color. When told that she was colored, the hospital attache ding was declared to have repaid that Mrs. Brown could not give a private room, but would be to go to a public ward. Dr. Vincent, facing this impasse, immediately arranged for a private room at the Roosevelt Hospital, to whip Mrs. Brown was taken, and where he died on Sunday evening. Dinner 2 Husha Stricken. The day before, the husband, the Rev. Dr. Brody was stricken with pneumonia at taken to St Luke's Hospital, where he has been desperately ill since, having been unable either to look upon his dear wife's face to attend the funeral, which was old from Mother Zion Church on Thursday night.

The cement printed in the Journal tried a line in large letters at top of the page, saying "Medicenter Denies Dynne Negro W Refused a Bed" which was the charge at all, which is pointed out, since it was a private room for, not a bed. Bet Veeident Bush, his especial that in conditions exist, is quoted as, ffs. No Barrier, Is Claim. There is no such barrier at this school. We have private rooms well as ward beds for Negro parts. The rule 'without regard face or creed.' is religiously uphere. So far as Mrs Brown was concerned, there are the facts as I saw them. About three weeks she applied for admission. We not even know she was colored arrangements were made for here. Subsequently the reservation was cancelled by herself or family. Why, we didn't know" Bush indicated that there might have been some misunderstanding due to the quoted rates.

Bush concluded. Center In Fight. The Harlem Medical Center Association was reported to be taking steps to correct existing conditions at the hospital, including the one which is said to have caused Mrs. Brown to be barred. That the association has interested itself in the case was indicated by the announcement at the office of Mrs. William H. Vanamee, the president, that Mrs. Vanamee could "say nothing" at the present time. A similar statement emanated from Dr. Louis Wright, the association's secretary. Both of these persons, however, clearly indicated that they were familiar with the details of the case. Break Feared From reliable sources it was learned that the association, composed of both white and colored persons, hesitates to make its grievances known because this would align it in opposition to the Center.

Caspier Holstein, head of the building committee and one of the first exalted rulers of the lodge, was induced by friends to allow his name to be used as the opposition candidate to Exalted Ruler James Veal Demand For Holstein. The manner in which he has been getting results in putting over the largest building program of anyordinate lodge of the Order of Elks, seems to have created a demand from the rank and file that he again become the active head of the lodge, for he defatted Mr Veal by an overwhelming majority.

Raleigh, N.C.—Under the auspices of the Delta Psi Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Negro Achievement Week was duly observed at Shaw University November 11 to 17. On different mornings at the chapel services, W. Thurber Armstrong, Henry D. Cooper and Ansel D. Smith all of the senior class, spoke on different phases of racial achievement, and on Friday morning I. S. Cugart, principal of the Washington High School, gave a thoughtful address looking to the future. On the occasion of November 11, the university offered as the first number in its lecture and recital course for the year a lecture by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of "The Crisis." Dr. DuBois used as his subject, "The Present Outlook for the Darker Races." On two evenings also, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., Shaw had as his guest F. O. Nichols, field representative of the American Social Hygiene Association, who on three occasions addressed the student body on social hygiene. At the Sunday evening service the University had as its speaker Rabbi Howard L. Fineberg of Raleigh. Newark, N. J.—In reply to the charges of racial segregation made against the Metropolitan Insurance Co. by Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange, published in The Age of November 24, and in the Newark Herald, November 16, A. F. C. Fiske, second vice-president of the Metropolitan, has written the following letter to the editor of the Herald: Editor, The Newark Herald, Newark, New Jersey. Dear Sir: My attention has been called to your issue of Friday, November 16th, which bears a headline, "Metropolitan Draws Color Line." I do not believe that you wished to misrepresent the facts, consequently. I am correcting a few misstatements. I confess to being rather surprised that you use an agent of this company as a source of information, rather than coming direct to headquarters. You state in your first paragraph "No longer are Negroes permitted to pay premiums at Metropolitan offices that are nearest to them." This is quite untrue. Any of our offices will accept any premium tendered it, providing only that the insured shows the premium receipt book or the last receipt, if it be other than Industrial or Monthly business. It is impossible that one or two of our clerks have not known of this rule. I believe that it has been called to our attention in several instances, and the clerk has been instructed that in future she must not refuse the payment of premiums under these conditions. Certain Agents Used. In the second paragraph you state that a Metropolitan agent told you that he had been instructed not to write any more Industrial policies for Negroes. This is true, but it does not apply to all agents by any means. We have found by experience that certain agents are more successful with certain people than others; consequently, the privilege to write industrial insurance on colored lives has been restricted to certain agents who have shown their qualifications. This is not at all a new practice. Precisely the same restrictions exist among the Italian people in Boston, Polish people in Chicago, Portuguese people in Providence, etc. There absolutely no discrimination against the colored race Restriction Policy. The proof of the matter is that we have restricted the writing of applications on colored lives to certain acents, and then, further, have restricted the amount of purely industrial business that they can do. We have done this quite as much in the interests of the colored race as in the interest of the company. As you probably know, colored people are great believers in life insurance, and will buy, if in large quantities, it has been so easy, to sell industrial insurance to them that we have found a number of cases wherein our agents have exploited families by selling entirely too much weekly payment, or industrial insurance, where ordinary insurance (that kind of insurance which is payable annually, semi-annually, or quarterly) should have been sold. Of necessity, ordinary insurance is very much cheaper than industrial insurance, and we believe that the colored people should have more ordinary and less industrial Unlimited Ordinary Life. There are absolutely no restric- Atlanta, Ga — Morehouse College had as its guest on December 5, Dr. James H. Dillard, a member of the General Education Board, president of the John F.

C. 2. all letters and make a. checks and money order suitable to THE NEW YORK ORK THE PRESIDENT'S TRIBUTE. The expression made by President Coolidge in his last annual message to the Congress of the United States, is a unique appraisal of the progress inade the Negro race as an integral part of the population during the past sixty-five years. Considering the fact that Mr. Coolidge is closing his term of office and is no longer a candidate for popular suffrage, his expression is entitled to more than ordinary study and attention, as an unassessed and unprejudiced recognition of the status won by the race in its struggle for American citizenship. In his opening sentence, Mr. Cochlidge recited the fact that the Negro population has been for the period mentioned, under the peculiar care and solicitude of the National Government." That this peculiar care has not always been so solicitous as to ensure to the race, the full measure of rights and privileges guaranteed to all citizens of the republic under the Constitution and its amendments, does not seem to have occurred to the author of the message. However, he admits that the progress made by the race in education and in the professions, in wealth and in the arts of civilization, has been such as to demonstrate "their ability to partake of the advantages of our institutions and to benefit by a free and more independent existence." Mr. Coolidge is of the opinion that exploiting the Negro problem tor political ends is being abandoned and their protection is being increased by those States in which their precentage of population is largest." This increase of protection may exist, but it is of gradual growth and slow to make itself felt. Its inception and advancement are largely due to such unofficial agencies as the Interracial Commission movement, in which the best minds of both races have combined to better existing conditions. The recognition of lynching as a crime of which the race has been the victims, is a gratuitous admission, and the decrease of late years cannot be claimed as the result of any executive or legislative action. The President seems to approve the passage of laws in some parts of the South for its restraint and punishment as a wholesome proceeding, and says. "Their example might well be followed by other States, and by such immediate remedial legislation as the Federal Government can extend under the Constitution." This cautious plea for Federal legislation against the crime of mob law and lynching, may be regarded as a sincere expression of the New England conscience, which at last recognizes the fact that lynching is simply murder committed by a community, and that the community which tolerates it is equally guilty of aiding and abetting the shedding of blood. No nation can continue to thus violate the commandments of both God and man and enjoy peace and prosperity. The day of reckoning will come sooner or later and the expiation of the crime will involve the innocent as well as the guilty. In the few more months remaining for Mr. Coolidge to serve as President, he doubtless feels that he can do but little to repair the omissions of the past eight years, in the dealings of the last two administrations relating to the Negro. The two outstanding features of the Coolidge administration in this respect were the keeping of the pledges of the Harding administration in the appointments of Walter Cohen of Louisiana and Charles W. Anderson of New York to Federal offices, and the turning over of the Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee to the management of colored doctors and nurses. Of his own initiative, President Coolidge has signally failed to do anything to forward the progress of the race toward equal rights of citizenship. His intentions may have been good and his feelings friendly, but his performance has failed to score in any practical results. USE OF THE BALLOT. Now that the election is over and the country has made its choice of President for the next four years, it seems permanent to consider some of the unusual phases of the campaign, and the part that the race had to play in it. One of the most important and valuable contributions on the subject of how the Negroes of this country should utilize their voting strength, came in the form of a personal letter to the editor of The Age, written by an eminent Democrat, distinguished alike for his broad philanthropy and friendly interest in the progress of the race. Although no longer active in politics, he was an enthusiastic supporter of Governor Smith's candidacy and looked for a possible landslide in his favor, for the reason, as stated. "The common people hear him gladly." In the letter referred to this veteran observer said: I have been interested to observe the course of your paper and its general breadth as to its news. Of course I understand that you would naturally support Hoover and your effective criticisms of the Democrats and the Republicans and from the point of view which you have taken. I have, however, as you know, a deep interest in the future of your people and with my strong feeling for democracy, I desire that your ten per cent of our population shall grow into a rational use of their votes to make them effective. So long as they are believed to be the property of the Republicans like chattel slaves, their votes really do not count. They must be cast with faith in the future of a real democracy and realize that the Republican party offers no basis for that. The thing that is desirable to have the Democratic party relieved of the duty of civil servant is that I think Hoover's following Coolidge, in intimate dependence upon Basscom Slemp, the Lily White Southerner, is the most alarming feature at present for your people. A White Republican primary in the South would spell no hope for the Negro for a generation, I think, in real political influence. There are two significant utterances in this letter that deserve to be emphasized. One is the insistence that it is desirable to have the Democracy relieved of dependence upon the Solid South, and the other is that the predominance of the Lily White Republicans in the South spells no hope for Negro influence in the politics of that section for the next generation. From this threatening horoscope, drawn by a veteran of proved political sagacity and vision, both the Northern Democrats and the Negroes of the South are facing political perils that will reduce their importance in national affairs to a negative quantity. But it is not so sure that the South is going to remain solid as a political unit in the future. A staff correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune who has been travelling in the wake of the recent revolt against Smith in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Texas, reported a condition of political civil war prevailing, with slight prospects of healing the divisions that have been made in Virginia the conditions were pronounced such as to favor the possibility of the state becoming permanently doubtful as a political factor. Bishop Cannon and his associates, who went over to the Republicans on the issue of prohibition, have shown no great desire to return without such apologies as the oldtime Democratic leaders, like Senator Glass. Are not disposed to give. With the alliance of the dry Democrats and the Lily White Republicans, the Negro voters are no longer deemed a serious problem, so the bogey of white supremacy has temporarily at least lost its power. Another development of the political situation in the South was the precedent established in Arkansas, of Negroes voting in a Democratic primary. This took place in Little Rock by virtue of an inunction granted by the Chancey Court of Pulaski county, which restrained the election judges and commissioners from refusing to permit the Negro Democrats from voting in the primary for the selection of candidates for mayor and aldermen. As the Democrat primary in such states as Arkansas virtually decides the result of the election, the refusal to allow a vote therein is equivalent to diefranishment. The importance of this decision is obvious. There are indications that the Democratic party may yet be relieved of its dependence upon the Solid South, and that the Negro voters may grow into the national use of their votes, so as to make them effective.

MAYOR WALKER'S COURAGE That was a curious compliment paid to Mayor Walker's courage in the letter sent to him by Joseph C. Thompson, a member of the law firm of Thompson and McGinty, located in the upper reaches of the Grand Concourse. He told the Mayor that he admired his courage in permitting himself to be photographed, standing with Quartermaster Licorish of the lost steamship Vestris, "despite its That was a curious compliment paid to Mayor Walker's courage in the letter sent to him by Joseph C. Thompson, a member of the law firm of Thompson and McGinty, located in the upper reaches of the Grand Concourse. He told the Mayor that he admired his courage in permitting himself to be photographed, standing with Quartermaster Licorish of the lost steamship Vestris, "despite its possible sinister use by some one hundred per cent Americans in a national campaign." The reference points to the Ku Klux Klan and the Solid South, but the Mayor has probably survived any illusions that he may have entertained as to the support to be derived from either of these sources for a New York Democrat. Mr. Thompson, with considerable effusiveness thanked the Mayor "for the splendid exhibition of noble, and tolerant broadmindedness." This is all very well, and we agree with Mr. Thompson, that the Mayor did his duty in the premises and did it well and gracefully, as he invariably does on occasions of this kind. His words of commendation spoken to the Quartermaster of the Vestris were of more significance, however, as a recognition of the universality of courage and intelligence in all races of humanity. We repeat them here, so that those who did not read them in the issue of December 1, with the picture which aroused Mr. Thompson's admiration of the Mayor's courage, may recall them: "I look upon you as a benefactor or 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 elendid intelligence that you possess, the couple intelligence, the couple intelligence, courage, modernity and bravery, what difference does it make whence you came, where you were born, from what race you sprang." At times in the past, The Age has had occasion to criticise and condemn certain actions and utterances attributed to the popular Mayor of New York. It is therefore with greater pleasure that it takes this opportunity to record his appropriate action in paying a deserved tribute to this black hero of a great sea tragedy Mayor Walker is to be congratulated upon rising to the occasion and meeting it with the aplomb, which is his outstanding quality.

SUPERSTITION AND DEGENERACY. So much has been charged against the Negro race in this country as being addicted to the practice of voudooism, believers in superstitions of all sorts and inclined to vice and immorality in sexual relations; that it has been assumed as a matter of course that the record of the white race was spotless in these respects. But according to the daily papers of last week, there are sections of the country where the whites have reached a lower depth of depravity in these matters. From York, Pa., came a report of the killing of a farmer, which was at first given out as an act of voudooism. Since the practice of voudoo is commonly supposed to be limited to Negroes and to be the revival of certain rites of African origin, the term was dropped in dealing with the Pennsylvania case and plain witchcraft substituted. But we will let a special writer for the Herald Tribune describe the situation.

But we will let a special writer for the Herald Tribune describe the situation. He said. The death of Nelson D. Rehmeyer, North Hopewell farmer, who, it is charged, was killed Tuesday by a witch doctor and two youths who hoped to obtain a lock of his hair to remove a "spell," led to an investigation which he disclosed that at least five infants died in the last two years of minor alliments after being treated by "nowwow doctors." Dr. L. V. Zech, county coroner, who made the investigation, admitted there has been no vigorous and general round-up of the witch doctors. Prospects that this investigation will be pushed to its limit and an organized attempt made to educate the people out of their belief in black magic, which has prevailed in this county since Colonial times, are being made. That arrangements are being made for a mass meeting of members of civic organizations in conjunction with the York County Medical Association. The other revelation treated of the vicious practices of certain business men in Ferris county New Jersey, nine of whom were indicted by the grand jury on charges alleging over two hundred offenses committed against seventeen girls, ranging in age from eight to fourteen years. A World reporter said, in relating the action by the grand jury. The panel submitted a statement with its indictments given to County Judge Albert W. Holland, with the厚此薄此 was scrabed "unbelievably deplorable" and added a request for "the press of the Nation to report the findings as a warning to the Nation."

The panel submitted a statement with its indictments given to County Judge Albert H Holland, in which the situation was described as "unbelievably deplorable," and added a request for "the press of the Nation to report the findings as a warning to the Nation." All the defendants are more than forty, married, and fathers. Eight men are residents of Dover, a town of about 9,000 population, eight miles from Morristown. Several of the Doverites are business men. The other defendant live in Morristown. The Grand Jury said in its report. "It has been shown to us that the religious training of most of the children was almost entirely ignored by their parents or guardians and, as a result, moral purity is a meaningless term to them. The indifference of communities in permitting conditions to exist whereby a child is a willing victim to the ravages of degenerate." These two cases or widespread superintition and degeneracy, in such states as pennsylvania and New Jersey, show that morance and vice are not confined to any one group of people, but are the common heritage of imperfect humanity.

These two cases or widespread superstition and degeneracy, in such states as Pennsylvania and New Jersey, show that ignorance and vice are not confined to any one group of people, but are the common heritage of imperfect humanity. That such conditions as have been revealed in these two cases should be exposed and stamped out by severe corrective measures is the duty of the officials in each community. The existence of such depravity in purely Nordic communities should be a rebuke to the self-righteous, who make such exalted claims on the ground of racial superiority. A civilization which allows such conditions to come to a head is nothing to boast about AN HISTORIC GROUPING.

Santa Demands a Christmas Stocking BY BETTY BARCLAY When Santa Claus visits a home where there are no stockings awaiting him he knows there are either no little boys or girls in that home, or it is ruled by parents whose childhood's Christmas mornings had something lacking. Few events in the life of a small child are remembered so long or with such fondness as the trip downstairs early Christmas, morning to the house has been left behind by the children or the searching fingers very, very early in the morning that creep from beneath the covers to see what is in a certain stocking hung on the bed. There is something mysterious about *wrapped*, rustling packages felt for an instant through wool, cotton or silken mesh. The round object may be a ball, an apple or an orange. The soft package may be a handkerchief, mittens or even marshmallows. The long object may be a banana, a whistle or a pong. It is not quite daylight and hesitating fingers hardly dare turn on the light for fear mother or dad will awaken and say it is too early to get up - even Christmas morning. Sq-u-c-a-z-k. The soft package has made a sound. Little ears listen attentively for another sound from the next room. A gentle pressure, and the squeak is louder. It brings a half-fearful thrill to the little invigorator and a grunt from the next room. It *cled awake already*: It's not more than—" "But it's Christmas morning. Henry. Merry Christmas. Junior." "Merry Christmas, mother. Merry Christmas, dad. You'd oughta see wha' Santa bro." "Want to get up, kid?" Dad has allowed his mind to drift back twenty years or more and is now willing to sacrifice sleep at the altar of a child's delight "Turn on the light and dad'll get your bathhose and slippers. Look through your stocking while I stretch for a moment and then see what's under the twin mattresses." Unhappy, indeed, is the boy or girl who cannot look back to a bulging Christmas stocking. Toys, candies, nuts, fruits of all kinds—a dozen little things that bring big thrills and take up the time between opening eyes and the trip downstairs to where big presents await. By all means see that the children hang up their stocking—or your, if you don't. And by all means pack everyone. But when you pack those stockings, see to it that you pack them with thoughtful care—for the contents may be made a very valuable Christmas gift. Little tots are prone to overheat on Christmas Day. Furthermore, they art likely to eat too heavy of foods that do not agree with them, and thus have a happy Christmas morning, but a Christmas night of tummy ache too much rich candy is good. Noodles are better, but rather heavy. Turkey, chicken, bread—these are all acid-producing foods, and if acid foods are eaten the children should also eat heavily of alkaline foods, so that they may have a balanced diet. Be sure to stuff a big orange in the toe of each Christmas stocking, tying a note from Santa to it, stating that the orange must be eaten before breakfast. Not only is it an appetizer, but it is strongly alkaline and will even though many still think of it as a dessert the child will eat an orange before breakfast he will probably eat much more sparingly of candies and nuts and thus come to the breakfast table his first time at Tuskegee in twenty-five years. Dr. Dubois is shown with Dr. Moton, principal of Tuskegee. A re-reading of the third chapter of "The Souls of Black Folk" written by Dr. Dubois at Atlanta, in 1903 will tend to make one wonder as to the significance of this visit of the author to Tuskegee after the lapse of a quarter of a century. ember 8, but will be given the week of January 20, 1929, when many more of .Mr. Crosswall's friends and admirers can be press Deserves Opportunity Editor of The New York Age. Sometimes it takes a crisis to bring forth the noble characteristics in man. The sinking of the Vestris was an untimely tragedy, but this tragedy gave Lionel Licorish the opportunity to show the heroic stuff of which he is made. The cowardly efforts of certain people to put the blame for the sinking of this ship, on the shoulders of the Negro members of the crew, and to discredit the heroism Licorish, the fortune-loving, the fair-mindedness of U. S. Attorney Tuttle and others associated with him in conducting the investigation. The black man occupied an humble place among the ship's crew. Yet when the crisis came, he proved equally as heroic, if not more so, than his white brother. These colored teamen are capable and worthy of higher positions on the steamship lines which employ them. The man that ever trod on the American soil and time after time he has proved this. No more ming recognition for his heroism in this crisis could be paid him by the steamship company which owned this vessel than the opening up of opportunity for advancement to these people. The Negro doges this part in the time of crisis; they shouldn't be share the "plum; on times of peace." ready for his cereal, his toast, his milk and his marmalade—and the day will be started aight! If hunger comes before the big meal of the day, see that the "in-between" is a glass of lemonade and a rosy apple, another orange, or some figs and dates taken from that child, which Christmas is. If Santa waits in the kitchen children will gladly obey—even those who might frowl when such unimportant persons as parents make the request. So because it is Santa's desire, the morning orange and the later, on glass of lemonade and fruit are taken as a balance for those delicious and acid-producing foods that are eaten heavily on this day. If you're Christmas stooing, Never! Not if you wish your children to have memories that you have of this rustling, bulging, mysterious delightful visitor on Christmas morning. Holiday Specials BY BETTY BARCLAY. **HOW ABOUT 'MOTHERS'?** *Mother* searches around for weeks to get toys for the children a tie for *Dad*, a shawl for Grandma, gifts for the neighbor next door and all the *friends*'s for the table. Every expects and gets a gift from *Mother*, but how many gifts will be found on mother's end of the gift table Christmas morning? See that she gets her regular check or gifts. Dad but see also that she gets her box of *candy* for her very one—the kind of box you gave her before the box *Mother*. She'll blush with pleasure and tell you that you should not have sports so much upon her but deep within a mother's heart there will be a thrill that few other gifts can bring. A box of candy from *Dad* makes *Mother*' feel that she is still the sweetheart of earlier days—and what better Christmas gift could *Mother* have than this? Or if "Dad" has passed on and "Mother" is still here, see that a box of candy comes from "Soony" or "My Girl". She will nibble a bite as she stuffs the big turkey and stily slip others into the mouths of tiny grand-children who are spending the big day at grandma's house. Her day will be sweetened — in more ways than one. A CHRISTMAS CANDLE SALAD Probable millions of recipes are invented each year. Most of them are used only by the composer and a few friends and neighbors, others manage to creep into recipe and cook books and live for a number of years, but here and there a recipe is composed that seems to live forever. The old Christmas Candle Salad has been so popular for so many generations that at this time of the year it is as much entitled to appear in print once more as is the story of Santa and the famous reindeer. A crisp leaf of lettuce is placed upon a salad plate, the slice of lettuce orange tops in a peeled banana out in two horizontally, is placed upon the upper of the or Sincerely yours, HENRY GROSS, For the committee Talking about the fight for youth which now engages the attention of the feminine world, a writer of "Womanly Kute-Kuts" in the Los Angeles Age-Dispair said: People used to imitate their elders; now it is the last thing they do to do. They used to live only for the day when they might away their childish things. Now they take their childish things along with them. At least they take their childish clothes on the journey from childhood to womanhood. The woman of 30 or 40 continues to wear much the same frocks she wos when she was a girl of 13. Next in order for youth was the taking-off process. Off went the sets, snap went the garters, rob went the stockings—women were free at last. But who? What funny looking things most of them were. Why not? Anybody would be that had been bound down the way women had been for thousands of years. At last they found themselves with a host of things which hadn't given them any trouble as long as they were under, cover. Hips, knees and thighs, and breasts. Now these things became just as important as the clothes and the hair had been before. Something had to be found to improve them. It was found. The most elaborate system for preserving the health in the history of the world. Half the women in the world went on a hunger strike. The other half ate and wept. While the above article might, be thought to smack of cottiness, by some feminine readers, it records briefly the emancipation of the sex from ancient fetters. And one of the results has been an improvement of health and looks. The Baltimore Afto-Americans undertook to define "Muckerism" by propounding a series of questions which it proceeded to answer, as follows. What makes a normal college boy go temporarily insane when his school plays a football game? The excitement which attends a horserace, the thrills that come from a game of baseball, and the lust for blood which drives crowds wild at prize and bull fights if all jumped into one at a college football game. Why did Princeton grads, old and young, tear up the Yale goal posts. Why were heads cracked in Pittsburgh Saturday when New York rosters tried to bring him to the Carnegie Tech goal posts as souvenirs. Why did Baltimore City College and Polytechnic rooters select the center of the city for their annual pregame riot which landed 42 in the police station. Why did Howard rooters break up the Morgan funeral procession between the halves at their annual game Saturday. The answer to that is probably the school spirits shut up since school opening and confined to library and class rooms are taking the first opportunity for making whoopee. Spectators are inclined to pass lightly over the exuberance of the rooters, but they do not forgive the bad language and prize fight exhibition of the Howard football players. Blame for this last feature was laid upon the Howard coach, by the Baltimore editor, on the ground that "every coach is responsible whether his team is composed of gentlemen or muckers." That might depend upon how tree a hand the coach had to fire the players. Referring to a statement made by Chicago school authorities that conditions of delinquency among high school children are beyond the control of the city's 124 truant officers and that only police intervention could stop drinking and gambling among them, the Cincinnati Union said. The above conditions in Chicago are being duplicated in many cities. Conditions make children old in range slices, a maracuja cherry or some other red tasty tops the banana—and there you have the principal ingredients. The orange there is the candletretch, the banana the candle, and the cherry the flame. A mound of red silly at the base of the candle, and a suitable thick dressing (flavored whipped cream is delicious) poured over the banana at the last-minute to represent the flowing wax—and the never-dying Christmas candle salad is again ready for the Christmas meal. HOLIDAL SALADS apple and orange Salad Peel and slice oranges, rejecting all white membrane. Cut edge shaded slices of apples with but part paring. Arranging on lettuce covered salad plates, using alternate slices of apple and apple Grapefruit Salad Feel oranges and grapefruit and divide into segments, rejecting all white skin.

Lift oysters shopper marmalade well greatly improve the dish wickedness. Teachers and parents are proud of riding by love, of wives whipping children. The old cat on nine tails, the peach tree switch and nine tails, the peach tree switch and ed ties of barbary age. Reform schools, as a consequence, are crowded; the penitentiaries have more than their share of these young hopes of a boat and the eighth chair an annually held in the next world, precarious products of parental tenderness. Old Solomon surely said something, when he casually remarked. Spare the rod. Spoil the child Editor Dabney will doubleless rejoice to hear of the teacher in a New Jersey town, who uses a rubber hose, to inflict corporal punishment on refractory pupils. And the school board sustains his action. Considering the excess number of glored juvenile delinquents shown, the last report of the juvenile cort of the District of Columbia, the Washington, Sun stated that then is no evidence whatever that this large percentage is the result of any inherent racial trait but rather the result of unfavorable social condition It added: Fits there is the factor of low economic status. Careful studies would undoubtedly show a rather high association co-efficient between this factor, and such offenses as house-bricking, petit larceny, grand larceny, werygery, embezzlement, and forth. Certain offenses indicate the direct effect of the economic handicap which the Negro laborers and the majority of the other offenses it is likely to trace the indirect effects of this handicap. Without a dye, among the various schemes which have been conceived for reducing a amount of crime, is that of imbaying the economic status of the 'ambers of the group. But there another factor—cultural factors—which are partially responsible for large percentage of colored juvenile iniquity. There are parental instructions; inadequate parental instruction; by home facilities and surrounding anti-social influences in the community; high ambitions and interests raised and nurtured by the grievance of race prejudice, and a desiring feeling of inferiority which rest from occupying an insignificance in a great civilization. These are some of the conditions which militate against a progress of Negro youth in the goal of the Nation, as in other parts of the country. The Star of Zion koepummering upon the necessity of churching of which it is the office organ making some adequate proof for the support of its retired superannated ministers. In a receipt it said. Other denominations are une more, or less, according to air organizing ability or their with Meanwhile we have done but three attempts have been within the last thirty years to create a Brotherhood and Relief partment. Each attempt has failed nominally. These failures have been due culpable business methods, a lack vigilance, and a failure to observe the simplest precautions. Results are where we started. Meanwhile our ministers are being sent home every year with nothing to do, and with nothing to live upon. We would have had little benefit if they would have a little something but our resources are not husbanded. The local overhead expense is exceedingly heavy. However earnest, however much his heart may be in it, however practicable the plan be may propose. Dr. T. W. Wallace will be helpless unless he has the cooperation of every bishop, presiding elder, pastor, station and circuit. We may not be able to raise ten million dollars but we must be able to be of immediate and steady benefit to the men and women who have given their lives to build up this Zion. The ministry is not a money making profession as a rule. But a small proportion of pastors receive more than a living salary. A retirement fund to support the superannated clergy is the thing needed. As the result of a visit to a tubercular sanitarium located at Bevley Hills, which provides beds for forty colored patients, the Knoxville Herald said. Beverly Hills is more than a sanitarium for tubercular patients. It is representation of the fine and kindly feeling that the white people have for the Negro race, for the Negro Unit of the Sanitarium stands 'there as a monument and memorial to this feeling, for the money of white people to a large extent placed this Unit there. In last week's Atlanta Independence the Editor takes the Atlanta Constitution severally to task for calling for support of the voters, for the proposed million dollar bond issue for an additional unit to the Grad hospital "for white patients only" Thank God, we have no such spirit in East Tennessee, and if there at there are few here who are able enough to support the Negroes of Knoxville with symptoms of tuberculosis should make use of the sanitarium at Beverly Hills. It has been placed there through the generosity of those interested in the health of the Negro race. If we fail to take advantage of it, it will be our own fault as well as our own serious loss. This expression of satisfaction over a humanitarian movement of this land in Tennessee is shown in the article and the appraisal on the unexpressed impress CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK In spite of the inclement weather a goodly number came out to the Sunday morning service at Grace Church. Dr. A. C. Garper, pastor, preached a most interesting sermon, taking his seat in St. Luke 14:11, who exalteth himself shall be healed, and he who humbliest himself shall be exalted. The lesson taught was that we must be humble about deeds and religion because of our painful heartiness, because we will reward the humble man much quicker than he will the painful one. The choir, in spite of the fact that there were few in numbers, and without the support of their leader, Miss Jeter, who is on a month's vacation, gave a good account of themselves to the churchorship committee at Morr.

In discussing the topic of freedom, Dr. Douglas said that "True Freedom is not simply in breaking the law, but in respecting it, specifically, but if we fear to speak in behalf of some one who is perhaps weaker, than we, that, too, is slavery.

Olivet Baptist Church, Sunday, December 9. Since Dr. Powell of Abysinian Baptist Church was indisposed and could not exchange pulses with the rest of the Rev. Hayes, he chose his tets from 2nd Timothy 6:3, "Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ," Subject: "Good Soldiers." He explained the meaning of soldier, as being men separated from the mass or people; those who have taken solemn oaths of allegiance and service, and are appointed to supervise officers, and are identified in some particular regiment. The Christian soldier is similar, the difference is that ordinary soldiers, are sometimes drafted, but the Christian soldier must be willing to become one. Although the Spirit sometimes acts upon the mind to encourage one to forward, Saviour's words stand out in bold letters "Whosever will let him come." At 1:30 o'clock, the funeral of Wilbur D. Brown took place. He was born in North Carolina, March 18, 1728 died December 4, 1928, leaving 12 children and other relatives. He became a member of Mt. Olivet Church about eight years ago. Rev. Hayes spoke of Bro. Brown as being the one who prepared him for "Masonry: 'Killard himself like a man, his personal friend for 18 years. The man and senior female usher board and the men's usher board turned out in a body to honor the deceased who was formerly president of the latrine. They read resolution. 'I shall be sung by Deacon Eugene Tompkins' Songs sung by the chair were 'Nearer My God to Thee': 'Asleep in Jesus', and 'Abide with Me' lodges in attendance were the Bars, Marks; the Odd Fellows; the Masons and the 3rd Degree Masons. At the evening service, Rev Hayes chose a text from John 15: "I am the true vine and My Father is the husbandman." His discourse centered around these words: "Here is my Father glorified, that I will bring fruit. The theme was "Our Purpose in Life." He plained that the branch does not live merely to show its relation to the vine, but to bear fruit for sustenance for others. The Helping Hand Club, consisting of small children, under the leadership of Miss Grace Branch, gave to Rev. Hayes $15 for the basking pool. One little girl was baptized: Nine new members received the hand of fellowship. Five people joined the church during the day and $15.38 was collected. Union Baptist Church We have closed a month of enthusiastic services which were held in celebration of the 80th anniversary of our church and pastor. We were pleased to have with us the pastor of the city with their choreography during the mourn or service we listened to some able sermons, good music and enthusiasm for praise services. Friday evening Mrs Imael Butter, who has been a foreign missionary for a number of years, sailed to take up work in West Africa. She journeyed by the way of England on board the SS Majesla of the members of the church and friends on board to bid her son voyage. Mrs Butter is among the best workers on the foreign fields. She is honest, earnest and reliable. We wish for her much success in her work. Our services were well attended Sunday. The young people gathered at 9 a.m. to study the word of God. Superendent Johnson was at his church. The choir rendered excellent service in song. Nine persons united with the church. Dr. Abner Brown delivered a forceful and practical sermon at the university's "The Weakness" of the Church's. The closing sermon for the day was delivered by Rev. Robert Hoopsee, subject "A Fixed Heart." Offering for the day $112.34 St. Paul Baptist Church St. Paul Baptist Church The B. Y. P. U. meeting Wednesday night was interesting. The young people, however, were somewhat scattered, as the result of researches for an entertainment to be given the present week. The young people there was a lively peer meeting, although not as many present as are seen at some meetings. Sunday, the pastor preached morning and evening, and the sermons had a telling effect. Three young ladies were received at the morning service, which greatened the experience. The last quarter made a stand and reports made Sunday night From the partial reports, it would seem that the chirch is holding or to its ground. We look for greetings things next Sunday. Paradise Baptist Church In spite of the weather Sunday there was a goodly number who assembled to hear Rev. II. W. Stanley, deliver a message on, *Adopting the Child.* He explained how we who are really born of God are adopted in the Royal family, and that we all have the privilege of being one of Jesus' adopted children if we will only accept Him as our Personal Savior. At the evening hour Rev. Stanley spoke on "Sanctification." There will be ten Christmas baskets distributed to the poor of the church under the auspices of Sister Gaines, a missionary and member of Paradise Baptist Church. Sunday, December 16, Rev.

The hostess, Mrs. Alice Fisher, was able for the Phillis Wheatley Club. At the corporate business meeting of the church last week a departure in the customary line of procedure was made in the matter of the election of trustees. Each of the three trustees made it twelve, making it twelve, are persons who have recently come into the church. Two are young and one is a man of wisdom and experience. Significant results are expected from Nathaniel Fereuson, Spencer Thomas and Levickson, who take office January-1st. Sunday evening, in preparation for the drama, "Diana of the Ephessians" presented at the Central Y. M. C. A., by Richard B. Harrison a selected cast from the Sunday theater. Rev. John B. preached from the 19th chapter of Acts, 21st to 43rd verbs. He brought out that like many persons today the Ephesian silversmiths had no thought of real worship in their minds in connection with the goddess Diana. The making of images brought money in the preaching of Paul that there were no gods made with hands took it out. Therein rested the entire situation. They balanced the weight ofoin the hands of the priest in the souls in worship and although they broke up the meeting and caused a trifle, failed to effectually stem the tide of Christianity. Fleet Street A. M. E. Reverence with great respect reigned over the congregation attending the service at Fleet Street Church on Sunday morning, as this followed closely the development of a new growth, as given by the pastor, 'Rev. W. C. Brown' in his sermon. At the Sunday school session it seems that the morning sermon bore immediate fruit in part, for that department, though comparatively small in number, due to the weather, reverence, and the $907.74 result of a special effort, lasting about five weeks, to aid in the school's Christmas fund. An interesting service, carefully arranged by the Christian Endeavor program committee, was enjoyed at the hour. The sermon of the evening service was delivered by the pastor.

Eldridge preached two masterful sermons, Sunday, taking his text from 1st Corinthians 1:19, subject, "Jesus Christ the Only Salvation Where Souls Can Rest." We shall use to make a firm foundation Christ can be almost, sure that the rest of the building, as connated to our bodies, will be firm and will be able to stand shocks that we so easily receive. The Sunday school hour was given over to funeral services over the Deacon Valerie Scott and a late Deacon James Scott, "remained to the morning service to pay their last respect." Rev. S. T. Eldridge preached as much as he could, but Deacon Scott had preached his own funeral in his works and deeds towards others. Holy compulsion was served at 4 o'clock. This being the last communion, the year took the form of a ten minute testimony, with no preaching. At 6:43, B. P. U. convened, having a large number of young people talking on the subject; God's first chapter of Matthew was talked upon by some members. Three were added to the church membership.

ME material contrast between the structures with which (Booster T. V. Booster) is presented great, ample and common for clearly distinguishing the structures. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but a imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and accterm. The edu- cation of the students is the best course for their families, a most compensable and helpful to themselves and their families is of course, a most compensable and helpful but their purpose only is part of that be did the light of the homely but ever living truths which must form the basis of advance for all.

WASHINGTON Offers Excellent Opportunities to Young Men and Women to Secure an Excellent Literary and Normal Course, and a Course in we of today rely upon the same faith and foundation as that of the fathers of the church. Dawson, basing his address on the first Christian Church, Acts 2:46-47, spoke of the church as, of priceless value to the community; no institution is comparable with the church; the program of the church is service, the church is known to mankind. The basis of love in the Church makes men see Christ as a living relation in their lives. The Bible school meet in session at 1:15 p.m. Friday marked the close of a successful two night's Christmas carnival: The program for the beginners, Junior and Intermediate Departments are already in rehearsal for their parts. Friday evening will be the women's meeting. The women are working hard to build up their service and a record attendance is exerted. Mr. Dawson will have for them. The Westminster Presbyterian Chanel of Jamaica held an inter- esting service on Sunday evening. The message of Dr. Stark had much en- couragement and inspiration for them. Next Sunday will be a day full of action in Sibam. It will be Victory Sunday. Mr. Dawson will be bob- eled every hour of worship, and will have a real message for each service. Flowers in the church Sunday were in memory of Charles H. Miller, and were given by the children of Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Windsor and Carthaginian Lodge. F. and A. M. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church The spacious office was filled to capacity and standing room was at a premium when the pastor, Dr Edward Ernest Tyler, delivered the sermon at the morning hour. It was the last communion of the year. Dr Edward Ernest Tyler, 6:14 He prefixed his remarks by stating, "It is interesting to study the factors that enter into the making of people and the influences that determine their value of things." He dealt with the "Cross of Christ." The dominant note of the sermon was "The only thing that can get at the creature. We may have our normality, and make outward confessions and have various ceremonies" but this does not count. The cross must grip us and so alter us that will be like Jesus and Paul who wrote the text, for there are many who hear much preaching but there is no spirit. The sermon is a challenge to heroic and sacrificial services and living." Dr. Tyler stated that the cross is a symbol of how much God thought of man and is a "witness of Gods love, Hatil had sin, His valuation of man and is the first revelation of the nature of God." Many are towards God like children toward their mother: They make an abstract statement that they love her and do nothing to the Lord. Dr. Tyler also stressed the point that many have represented God as being vindictive. This is wrong: He is long-suffering, loving and kind, and is trying to reconcile the world to Him. He has fellowship with God and He will enter all on our life. The pastor closed with the thought that we must look upon the cross, and communion as a symbol and remember, its significance daily and things they symbolize be our ideal. At the 'evening hour the Rev James A. Manning, associate pastor of the church, was the speaker. He delivered a soul-stirring sermon to a large and enthusiastic congregation and aroused them to a high degree. He was 'Genius 47-8'. He raised the question "How Old Art Thou?" He made a spiritual application of Pharaoh to Jacob and stated that we are as old as we near God.

Whatace, hopes of the Conference championship the Crimson Hurricane may have had were blasted when the pistol barked out two sharp signals indicating that the game was over with Tuskeger leading three points ahead.

Nutty campbell along with a group of other football coaches and sport experts. It may be interesting to the reader to note what. Mr. Zuppke had to say with reference to the game, according to report of O. B. Keeler writer for the Atlanta Journal: "The place kicking of the Tuskegee team aroused Zuppke's admiration." "See how slowly he takes that foot back, with a little pause just before kicking." he commented. "I've been trying for many years, to get my players to do that. It's precisely the same as in the golf swing. You know the professionals are always advising the "Slow-back." The club golfer starts hitting before the club has reached the top of the swing-back. So does the inaccurate kicker from placement." An Atlanta University player received the kick. A group of oranges clad cadets bore down upon him and he fumbled Fortune favored him for he recover the ball, and made a slight advance being downed. Both teams played careful and cautious. football during the first half, often kicking on first down Atlanta University seemed certain or a touchdown when McPherson scooped up a fumble and carried the ball 65 yards before he was downed on the ten yard line by a Tuskegee trickler who ran with the speed of the Dixie Flyer to keep the fleeing McPherson from crossing the last marker. The Atlanta team tested the Tuskegee line and found it impossible, a career four time, the ball went over. After a few skirmishes the quarter ended. In the second quarter the Hurricane found useless to try to crumble the Tuskegee front wall, so after an attempt of two the Atlanta team resorted to the air, with several successful Allegiance.

Stevenson widened the margin when he place kicked for the extra point. In the fourth quarter the Atlanta team uncovered a bewildering assortment of worward passes. One of which lodged in the waiting arms of Robinson, left-end, who went over for a touchdown. Atlanta also added the extra point. The Aiken, men made several threatening line assaults, but on being balked at every attempt the team would take to the air. Wiggins would pass to Jones, Edwards to Robinson, Stanley to Clay and so on. It was the pass of Wiggins to Wiggins to Robinson which counted for the touchdown. The Atlanta team was not able to withstand the hard charging of the Tuskegee Cadets, Stevenson, the brilliant backfield ace, Harrison and Shanklin tore through frequently for telling gains. Robinson, Wiggins Edward and Pierre played a great game for Atlanta University. Between the delves the Tuskegee 72-piece hand took the terrain and executed" some snappy formations.

Calif.—Chrales Gilpin, of Emperor Jones" fame, who was brought here to take the leading part in William Fox's all-colored picture, "Hearts of Dixie," has been replaced by George Reed, who has appeared in many Fox successes No reason was made public for the change Mamie Smith Given Fine In a setting which truly gave her an opportunity of forcing one to the belief that she is really the queen of the blues, Mamie Smith and her gang opened at the New Lincoln Theatre on Monday afternoon, and one of the largest crowds that ever tried to find seats early at the Lincoln was on hand to greet her. None have ever questioned the fact that Mamie Smith enjoys the honor of having introduced a right of the claim being made to form of entertainment which has held sway for many years and which has found an outlet in centers where years previous it would have been considered sacrilege to introduce the blues. A chorus full of pop, fine scenery and good looking costumes brought the ever popular Mamie on and with her came that charm which adds to a personality which has had much to do with her ability to "put over" her numbers. And it was a riot. To round out one of the best bills offered at the Lincoln and in support of Miss Smith are William Taylor, Sonny Lee, Skeets Winston, George Green, Al Young, Audrey Thomas, Bob Davis, Dewayman Niles, and May Williams "Ladies Night in A Turkish Bath", with Dorothy Mackail and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., constitute a riot of fun from the picture end of the bill, which will be enhanced the latter part of the week commencing Thursday when Douglas Fairbanks Jr., will be seen in that much talked about picture. The Power of the Press Rarely does a newspaper allow its presses to be stopped when they are running on an edition, but for some of the scenes in this picture Director Frank Capra secured the assistance of a Los Angeles daily and was allowed to stop the presses on the last edition. As most people read the newspapers this film will carry something of unusual interest to patrons of the Lincoln this week. Next week Addison Carey's "Creole Vamps" with an entire change of cast and chorus will be the revue offering at the Lincoln. Mr Carey is a prolific producer and is putting a lot of extra effort into this revue which he hopes will be one of his outstanding before the holiday.

Bill Robinson To Teach Tap Dancing To Broadway Stars Bill "Boianglez" Robinson, one of the stars of "Blackbirds of 1928" has been engaged by the Albertina Rasch Studios for three afternoons a week to teach tap dancing to Rasch pupils, many of whom are already actors of the first magnitude in Broadway productions. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER Josephine Baker, who has been working at the Theatre des Westerre, had an altercation with her count husband, and also with the manager of the theatre, that finally wound up by Josephine taking her costumes out of the theatre and driving away. The manager had to give the people their money back. It's too bad that they could not set their domestic troubles at home, and not bring it to the theatre. Charles S.

The magie and witchery of a "Blackbirds" singing of "Dixie" brings up in one's inner mood visions of things never seen but somehow stirring one's recollection. Then again, when a "Blackbird" sings a love song, like "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," it carries all the conviction of masterful oratory, rather than merely warming the heart. Aida Ward, one of the leading soloists of the company, was advised of these unusual effects her singing exerted over her audiences, and asked how they were achieved. She demurred to the suggestion that there might be anything unusual about the psychology of it. "You dream your song to make it sweet," she said simply. "When I sing 'Dixie,' my heart rides high over the cottonfield and I see men and women and boys and girls and even children, bending, low in the sunshine as they work. When I sing 'Dixie,' I see misty mountains and peaceful hills and sparkling rivers, and my spirit warms within me. I am not on the stage then, but far away where quiet and calm hang like a canopy over the Southland. I dream I am on Mother Nature's breast and she is very kind and dear "And when I sing 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love,' I dream of the things that are in a young girl's heart—all those fine and beautiful things that cost so much, and mean so much to her, but which she can't have. And then I dream of love which always, is the thing she wants most because it is the most beautiful thing after all, even if you can't buy it. Believe — the wideawaker singer is the singer who dreams!" Easton and Howell are at Rialto Theatre, Amsterdam, N.Y. Dickerson and Cassidy are at the Sheridan Square Theatre, Pittsburgh Pa.

WHITE THE SCHUBERT MUSIC CLUB GIVES A FINE PROGRAM IN OBSERVANCE OF FRANZ SCHUBERT'S DEATH CENTENARY The Schubert Music Club, Edward Margatson, director, made its contribution to the observance of the 100th anniversary of the death of Franz Peter Schubert by the presentation of an All-Schubert Music program at Imperial Elks Hall, 160 West 129th street, on Thursday night, December 6. The guest artists were Miss Gertrude Martin II, violinist, and the junior orchestra of the Martin Smith Music School, with Miss Martin conduct. Incidentally, it should be noted that this is a unique all-string aggregation, save for the piano, with a personnel of 21 violins, one cello and one double bass fiddle. The Schubert Club ensemble, composed of 20 sopranos, seven altos, five tenors and seven basses (there were actually eleven men in the chorus) rendered two groups of Schubert songs—"Thou art repose" and "Hark! Hark! the Lark" as their first offering, and "Serenade" and "Who is Sylvia?" as the second. The first choral arrangement was made by Mr. Margetson, with the others credited to N. C. Page and A. H. Ryder. While there appeared to be no individual voice of outstanding measure the ensemble work was of unusual quality. There was, first of all, precision of attack and prompt obedience to the director's intuitions, and to this was coupled solidarity of tone, intriguing color, clarity of enunciation and attractive development of nuance. It is a fairly well balanced chorus, but with a preponderancy in the female Vocal colors were given by Rose Margetton, wife of the director, who displayed a voice of pleasing quality which she handled with fine technical. Smooth and pleasing, lacking somewhat in temperamental coloring, it did not quite suffice, however, to bring out the deepest qualities of the Schubert songs she gave. Of the three, perhaps the "Hedge Roses" was the most effective, but both "By the Sea" and "The Three Suns" possessed admirable qualities. I would like to hear Mrs. Margetton in a more varied program. The program opened with Mr. Margetton at the piano, playing, utter a brief exposition of the purposes of the Schubert Music Club, Schubert's Moment Musical in A Flat, giving it with authoritative intelligence and clarity. The second part of this opening number was the Scherzo from the Schubert Sonata in D Major, played acceptably by Miss Hillan Titley, one of Mr. Margetton's pupils. Another piano group included the Fantasia, opus-78, played by Enid Manning, and a Muster by Amelia Nero. The third and final piano group was the taxing Sonata in A Mascari, opus 120 with Earl Margetson playing the Allegro Moderato and anante, and Miss Marie Margetson the Allegro. They are brother and sister to the director, and both are possessors of exceptional musical development. Miss Marie, Think, studied in Boston, and Karl, understand, has been studying here in New York. Karl in the two movements rendered by him, exhibited competent technical dexterity and splendid comprehension. Miss Marie, barring a slight nervousness, was equally as efficient, playing the difficult allegro with delicacy, yet with digital efficiency and authority. The guest arrist, Miss Gertrude Martin II, gifted young violinist, daughter of the late David I Martin, founder of the Martin-Smith Music School, and Mrs. Gertrude Martin, played with rarely beautiful expression and understanding the Schubert "Ave Marie" as arranged by the great Wilhelm. The exquisite tone color and sureness of made her rendition please the gem of the evening, and she was graciously obliged to respond to an enthusiastic encore. Aid then young Miss Martin displayed her versatility by mounting the conductor's podium for a Schubert group played by the Junior Orchestra of the Martin-Smith School. This group included the March Heroiola "a Minuet" and the Ballet Music from "Rosa-mante." She handled the baton with authority, displaying comprehensive knowledge of her task. She has superimpt and ability, and exhibited splendid control over the players, ranging in age, apparently one about five or six to 16 to 18 years of age. It was an enjoyable program, splendidly rendered, before an audience that taxed the capacity of the auditorium, with many standing rear, although extra chairs, had been provided. Following the musical numbers, there was dancing. Officers of the club are Edward Margetson, president; Marie Margetson, vice-president; Beryl Tell, secretary; Claude Gregory, treasurer. The committee in charge of the recital was composed of Henry Bostain, chairman, Lanoma Edmead, Ameer Tullery, Mildred Lewis, Sythia Jordan. The personnel of the club is as follows: SOPRANOS—Elaine Deveaux, Aimee Titley, Aldra Burnett, Milford Lewis, Beryl Wall, Amelia Nero, End Manning, Beryl Fitzrick, Emily Frederick, Rose Margetson, Marie Margetson, Luta Roberts, Bernice Godfrey, Cynthia Jordar, Lillian Adam; Bernice Woodruff, Louie Weir, Rebecca Sweeney, Frances Walker, Pearl Martin. ALTOS—Beryl Archer, Lanoma Edmead, Jane Bell, Ambrorze Nader, Emily Powlett, Beryl Tell, Myrtle Anderson. TENORS—John Francis, Earnest Iles, Fred Edmead, Carl Bryan, Claude Gregory. BASSOS—Clifford Armstrong, Joseph Dechalos, Karl Margetson, Alphus Caesar, Samuel Fox, George Bartholomew, George Appleshite. DAVID JOHNSON JR. PLAYS VIOLIN MUSIC BEFORE JERSEY CITY FOLKS Jersey Cityites had the opportunity on Monday night, December 10, of bearing some fine line playing by Master David Johnson Jr., of New York's most promising young artists, and while there was an appreciative audience present, it might have bern of larger proportions. The recital was under auspices of the People's Charitable League, and it was that organization's fourth annual charity concert, for the purpose of providing Christmas baskets for the poor of Jersey City. This alone should have stirred the good people of Jersey City to attend of their patronage and presence, but aside from that, they were offered a program of unusual excellence, starring a youth of the race development as an artist is not alone an individual accomplishment; it mark a further step in racial progress and cultural development. The young Negro artist has a hard row to hoe, at the best. His lack of activity is limited practically to that afforded by his own race, and it is a notorious fact that the support given by the race to struggling and aspiring artists is of the most meagre sort. Just what environment does an artist get, who has given years of application to and practice, paying out many hard-handed and illly afforded funds for adequate tuition, when his public appearances are greeted a sent-handful of folks who are largely influenced by their friends for the musician as an individual and care little for his accomplishment as an artist. This does not mean that Jersey City people are alone in this class, as is reflection upon their music appreciation and of their willing-to aid what appears to be a worthy charity that so few of them represent to hear this boy who has already made long strides to the van of American violinists, without regard to race or color, way of comparison, any young Jewish or Italian musician, under the conditions, would have been granted by a packed house of enlight and appreciative auditors. Master David played under the handicap of illness, having been in school, after suffering for several days from a bronchial attack, which might have had some afferent upon his physical energy, it allowed him to learn the use and spirit of his musical interpretation. This young lad, in his early teens, possesses a flame of genius which, if carefully and properly nurtured, will carry him to high places in the firmament of musical endeavor. He played as an opening number the Handel Sonate in G Minor, a work in four movements—andante, allegro, adagio and allegretto—and one calculated to try to the utmost the technical and spiritual resources of the most matured artist. Other numbers were a Concerto in A Major, first movement, by Rode; a Bettenhoven Romance, in F: "L'Abellé", by Schubert; Preludium und Allegro (Pugnadi Greiser); Scherzo by Lauder Bach; Zigeunerweisen (Gypsy Dance) by Sarasate, and Heijte Kall (Gzardas) by Huby. The young artist was supported by the Concert Orchestra of the David Johnson an Music Studio of New York City, with the senior Johnson (young David's father) conducting. The elder Johnson also played the piano accompaniments for his son. The orchestra offers embraced Schubert's Marche Militaire; the "Poet and Peasant" Overture by Suppe; Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance"; and the Hungarian, Lutspe Overture by Keler Bela. These were rendered in a manner that did credit to Mr. Johnson as a teacher, since most of the players are still pupile under his tutelage. Master Raymond Waters played a violin solo, Air Varie on a Theme by Weigl by Danael. The People's Charitable League, Mrs L. Edwards, president, has been formed for social service, health lecture service, medical clinic, day nursery, baby welfare clinic and charitable work among the worthy poor, with headquarters at 272 Forrest avepue, Jersey City, where is maintained also the baby welfare station; daily medical clinic and day nursery. It is supported entirely by membership fees, voluntary contributions and proceeds from entertainments. Dr. J. Francis Johnson, of 96 Astor place, Granville H. Johnson, organist-chairmaster of Salem Baptist Church and Dr. Lena F. Edwards were among the citizens active in managing the recital. Andrades Lindsay Is Recuperating At Home Miss Andrades, Lindsay, popular pianist, organist and teacher of music, who conducts a studio at 372 Herkimer street, Brooklyn, and who recently underwent an operation at the St. Mary's Hospital, Brooklyn, has sufficiently improved to be removed to her home, where for the next fortnight, she will be under the care of her mother, Mrs. Kate Stewart. Then, on advice of her physician, Dr. Kevin, she and her mother will go to Atlantic City for further convalescence. Gertrude Martin II To Make Short Concert Tour Miss Gertrude E. Martin, the well-known young violinist, is scheduled to leave on a short tour. Her first appearance will be in Harrisonburg, Pa., at Fahnestock Hall, on December 14. Her second appearance will be at Hampton University, Hampton, Va., as guest artist of the Musical Art Society. Miss Martin will be accompanied by her Mother, Mrs. David I. Martin, who is her manager.

A. held its election of officers on Monday, December 11, for the year of 1929. V. W. Percival's financial change was affected in the organization, most of the present incumbents being renominated and reelected. J. A. Thompson was reelected president; W. H. Robinson and George Payne were re-elected respectively vice president and correspondingly secretary. Aubrey Walker the present financial secretary for the nomination for 1939, and Geo. W. Payne was elected three other competitors. Of course, J. W. Dias is the perennial treasurer, and in 12 years or so, only one candidate has had the temerity to run against Dias. That candidate was defeated. The lay members of the board of directors consist of William Morrison, Andrade G. Uelandtach, A. Walkers, E. Rollo W. Hendrickson and H. Poinsettie No 'contest, as only the requisite number were nominated Waller Hinson was again elected sergeant-at-arms. Hinson is a trombonist, familiarly called by his friends and acquainted with officers without resentment, because his head is composed of gray matter and not all bone. It would be a bief bet that many persons who book "Hooks" on job know not his real name. He would be abusive and angry at an appalation that has been applied to them for years is ridiculous and inane. Thompson, the thrice elected president, has striven valiantly to get the job out of the shough of despond, with the hope that cess but there is a lot yet to be done to place this organization in the forefront to which it is entitled. Joe Allen, when president, acquired this home for the N. A. M. A. Thompson, is installed steam heat, which, undoubtedly, is an asset to the building. Wherever there is organization, there is bound to be criticism. Critics have lamented the paucity of work obtained by the Amsterdam back of retention of a commensurate membership; and why not—the elamor some entertaining work thus making the N. A. M. S. a magnet for singers and the like. The Amsterdam back is the entrance for organization is the entrance for which under present, conditions, is considered rather high. Let us hope that time and a working board of directors will adjust the organization and bring the old Amsterdam back in the eye of the dancing public. To refer to the 'sample ballot' for the election of 1929; to an old Amsterdam member, one remarkable reference is made to the absence of the name of Walter Tates on the ballot. Tates has been associated with the Amsterdam since its inception, given it heroic and plenty faithful service; and indeed it is strange not to be nominated for some office for years in succession, including the year Walter, in that on the board of directors, and he steer the ship clear of the shoals. But then comes recollection of the fact that Walter, although looking the picture of health, has been under doctor's orders for sometime. This explains the fact of his refusing to name his name to be put up for any office in the city, for 1929. Here is hoping, Walter, you regain your full health, and that you will be on the firing ling next election. Place small amount cranberry jelly in bottom of dessert glasses.

Mr. Walker, told of his early struggles to get into Hampton Institute and how later he went back into his county, started teaching, lecturing and training his own ownership. For forty years he has dedicated himself to this task and Gloucester County, Virginia, during that period has been transformed from a landless group, so far as Negroes are concerned, to a group of educated, educated, educated, an approximate nineteen hundred and fifty who own their homes.

Social Conference Discusses Negro Problem N. J. Social Conference Discusses Negro Problem Canden, N. J.—The social needs of the Negro in New Jersey received serious attention from leading white and colored citizens of the State at a meeting of the New Jersey Conference on Social Work, which was held December 7, at the Hotel Walt Wohlman in Canden. The conference, which includes among, its officers, and members the social workers of New Jersey, as well as such prominent citizens as Mrs. Otto Wittppen and Governor Harry Moore of Jersey City, Bishop Walsh, Rabbi, Foster and Walter Kidde of Newark, Walter Buzby of Atlantic City and Commissioner Ellis of the State Department devoted an afternoon of its annual session to a discussion of the topic, "Social Work and the Negro." A "number of colored men and women," interested in social work or social conditions, were asked to attend the meeting and to give the Conference the benefit of their work. In addition to Miss Miriam Atkins of the Newark Social Servic Bureau, there were present the following colored citizens who spoke: Mrs. A. H. Douglass, Thos. L. Buryear, I. R. Kesar, Principal W. R.

Curriculum Changes At Shaw University Curriculum Changes At Shaw University Raiseigh, N. C.—A change made by a vote of the faculty at its recent monthly meeting will liberalize the requirement for the, A. B. degree; henceforth one will be able to meet the requirement if he included in his college program at least fourteen hours of one modern or foreign language or at least eight hours of other one.

MOGANS A MODERN SPARTAN The black man is a courageous person when it comes to financial reversals. As a rule, he can accept such reversals with the stolichism of an Indian and the heroism of a Spartan. In matters of this sort, he has the edge on his white brother, for it is rarely that the black man resorts to self-destruction as a way out of monetary misfortunes. In these things, he is a born optimist, as well as a Spartan. For instance, note the actions of that soldier of fortune the Nero diceman. He walks into that crap game with nimble wrists and bulging pockets. No man's bet is too large to be "faded." But, alas, fortune is not with him this night; he becomes a "wash-out." Does he indulge in lamentations at his luck? Well, not to you will notice him. He betakes himself to a corner of the room, and five minutes later is as sound asleep as a woodchuck in January. No, sir, mere financial reverses are never things at which the black man becomes discouraged. It was at a gathering of retired Pullman porters that this modern Spartan was met. His name is William Jenkins. He is 71 years old, and sent to the point of fastidiousness. For fifty years Jenkins followed the vocation of a Pullman porter, and ran on the best lines for tipping. Last year, having reached the pension age, he was retired from the Pullman service. Being howover, a hearty and active person, he didn't let a little matter like three score and ten years deter him from seeking work elsewhere. His friends declare it was due to influence but he disclaims any such help. he got a job as elevator operator in an apartment house building in West 18th street. That was one year ago, and he is still on the job. He was anxious to be off the afternoon he was met so as not to be late at the job. The fact that a man of his age is active and robust enough to operate an elevator in an apartment house is remarkable within itself, but this is not the reason. Mr. Jenkins is referred to as a modern Spartan. The story was told after the oldtimer had left the gathering. Jenkins was a man of considerable means at one time, said the speaker. Years ago he owned valuable realty holdings in Atlantic City, had a flourishing restaurant business which his wife managed, owned a high-priced automobile, in fact, his wealth was estimated to be in the neighborhood of $25,000. I don't really know how it got away from him, for he has never told me himself, but I have heard that it was, through unwise speculation in real estate. But there is one thing I'll say for him: He takes his loss philosophically." Now who but a black man, to whom $25,000 is a small fortune, would have the courage to go on plodding after losing such a substantial next egg, yet this is the history of William Jenkins, but if you didn't know it, you wouldn't suspect it; for this ex-Pullman porter gives no intimation either by word or action, that he is dishearted at his luck. Knowing this one might think of the Negro diceman, only in thinking of the diceman, you think of sleep, whereas, in thinking of the 71 years old elevator man, you think of work. MR. BROWN EULOGIZES MR. WHITE Mr. Sylvester Brown, of 2 East 128th street, this city, and a vetfan of the Pullman service, writes to this column as follows: "Yes, Mr. Louis White, after 35 years of faithful service with the Pullman Company, has been retired. But, thank God, he is, as you have truthfully and splendidly said—out, but not down. The 35 years he has been on the road has meant much to him. "A man of keen intelligence, strong mind and the capability to grapple with opportunities as they presented themselves, Mr. White is today the possessor of things to show for his years of toil. In a beautiful home at 301 Western avenue, in the historical city of Cambridge, Magna, and just a short distance from Harvard College, lives Louis White, Justice of the Peace and notary public. "A visit to this home will cause your heart to thrill with admiration. Mr. White has planned the building of this home with an eye to the future. Every room in the house is a classic, so to speak, for utility. There is a room which is fitted up as a modern business office. And nothing pleases Lim more than to take you to see this house." Then there is a library room, containing several thousand volumes of books of every description, which he has gathered at considerable expense, and on the walls of which are hung masterpieces from the hands of some of the old master painters. This room is also a thing of pride with him, for not only are the books therein a source of instruction to him, but frequently friends in the neighborhood come to him for advice and counsel in matters which require reference to his well-stocked collection. Besides being an avid reader on general subjects, he devotes considerable time to the reading of law. The other rooms in this well planned home are furnished in keeping with taste and beauty. In short, it's a home of which any man could be proud. The life of this Honored Knight of the Rails should serve as a beacon for thrift, not only to the young man who may enter the Pullman service as avocation, but it may be used as a guide by the Negro youth of America in general. The fruits that are now Mr. White's may be summed up in a quotation from the Latin which goes something like this—Vent, Vidi, Vici—He came (into the service); He saw his opportunity, and he grazed it. Mr. White has stepped out of the Pullman picture, but his usefulness goes on." An Epitomized Account of the Recent P. P. B. A. Convention My dear Mr. Hegans: As I am very much interested in the Pullman Porter's Benefit Association and its affairs, I feel that I must write you my favorable opinion of our annual convention. Arrangements of the committee with the company to furnish comfortable transportation for, each delegate, and to have each delegate from all sections of the country to arrive in Chicago on November 19, was well planned. We arrived in Chicago on Monday and went directly to the Y. M. C. A., where we were met by W.C. Taylor, chairman of arrangements, who saw that we were comfortably located. Monday was spent in getting acquainted with the city and in visiting the colored business enterprises. From what I have observed from a business standpoint, Chicago leads all other cities. I find greater opportunity for young women and men with proper business training, and I might say here that the field of opportunity extends also into the Pullman Porter's Benefit Association. Every Porter who has a son or brother who is a porter in the service, should insist on his joining the Association and helping in its development. There is an opportunity for him to serve in the business management of the Association, which is fast becoming not only a means of bringing the men employed by the Company-closer together, but is developing into an organization of financial strength. The success of this Association should make any Porter feel proud to be identified with it. - The session of the convention was held in Room 412 Pullman Building. The meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, November 20. General Chairman, Perry Parker, presided, assisted by Vice-chairman, M. J. Brown, and six directors; S. J. Freeman, New York; R. L. Williams, San Francisco; T. M. Blanton, Philadelphia; T. A. Grenahsh, St. Louis; James Sexton, New Orleans; and Ike Smith, Chicago. There were 26 delegates. These delegates were a representative group of Pullman portrs, all of whom have creditable service records of from three to forty eight years. They came from all parts of the U. S. A. and Canada and Mexico, with one thought uppermost in their minds—the construction of same legislation for the protection of beneficiaries of the members of the P. P. B. A. of America. H. T. Pellky, who for a number of years, was car club porter on the Twentieth Century Limited is now holding the position of Welfare Man at the Calumet shops, extended us a most cordial and hearty welcome. He told us of the wonderful success that our group was making at the Californi shop, demonstrating that all we need is opportunity. This hit of information brought forth great applause. G. H. Haille, delegate from Dallas, Texas, a porter, who is studying law, responded in a most able manner. General Chattman, Perry Parker, followed, with an inspiring address, telling us of the achievement of our Association and stating that we are officers and members of the greatest Negro organization in the World: Great in Strength, Great in Finance, and having more than 9000 members, or 75 per cent of the porters employed by the Pullman Co. We organized in February, 1921, without a dollar, but with the determination to improve our general condition; today we have more than $230,000, and we have paid out since our inception more than $1,000,000 for sickness and death, and that every cent has been carefully handled, guarded and accounted for. This address was well received, by the whole convention, with great applause. The addresses of C. E. Hunt of Cincinnati, and of J. D. Banister of Philadelphia, were inspiring, each of them impressing upon their listeners the importance of persistence and loyalty. We had lady visitors in the persons of Mrs. P. Park, Mrs. S. J. Freeman, Mrs. J. W. Bottis, Mrs. H. T. Petky. There was an address by Grand Secretary Robinson on the achievements and success of the organization, an address by J. W. Bottis, compreller, on the financial success of the organization and the manner in which the funds are handled. Addresses were made by Vice-Chairman J. M. Brown, Pennsylvania Terminal director; T. A. Crenshaw, S. J. Freeman, R. L. Williams, I. F. Smith, T. M. Blanton and James Sexton. Tuesday night, November 20, were entertained at the Y. M. C. A. Wabash avenue, under the auspices of Calumet Local, No. 46, with a well planned program, which was, as follows: President's own Quartette; selections from many other artists of the shop; group; addresses by H. T. Pelky, O. P. Powell, vice-president, Harry Gilbert and Mr. Simmons. On November 21 the convention was called to order, with Grand Chairman Perry Parker presiding. The reports were read by the local delegates to the grand association, showing some wonderful results. Wednesday night, November 21, a ball was given for the delegates at Savoy Ballroom, which was beautifully decorated. It was well attended by delegates, 2,000 members and their wives. The grand march by the members was a huge success. November 22 and 23 were taken up in executive sessions. E. F. Carey, president, gave a stirring address in which he expressed a desire on behalf of hintself and the other officials of the company for continued cooperation and harmony among the employees. He commented upon the success and growth of the organization and assured the members of the P.-P. B. A. that the company had this same harmonious feeling toward them. In closing he warmly congratulated our group on its rapid industrial progress, and said that he was "in sympathy with the efforts of the colored race to overcome all economic barriers and succeed in racial development." He assured the race a square deal with the Pullman Company. O. P. Powell, vice president, congratulated the organization on their wonderful showing and promised all co-operation and support that the management could reasonably give. F. L. Simmons, supervisor of industrial-relations, spoke on Work of the Association," and entered into a round table discussion of the industrial relations and the Pullman Porters Benefit Association in their application to the porter. A. A. Brown, treasurer of the Pullman Company also visited the convention and made an inspiring address. Probably the most important development of the Convention was that members of the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association and influential members of the "Employees' Representation Plan" conferred with the management and used their influence in urging a conference between the management and the porters for the formulation of a new agreement of wages and working conditions.

A notable array of artists is listed to appear. The magnitude of organization and plant necessary to provide self-service equipment for New York City is displaced by future funding. J. S. McCullough, president of the New York Telephone Company. They show that in several important respects the telephone service for the five boroughs is the largest single enterprise in the Metropolis. The firefighters and comparisons¹, Mr. McCullough and his team², as suggesting the natural relationship between the telephone and the economic life of the city. As the world's financial and commercial capital, New York City is, in many ways, the telephone center. Both because of its size and the character of its activities, it presents extraordinary problems of telephone plant expansion, operation and administration.³ Three-Fourths In City. Approximately three-fourths, or more than 41,000, of the New York Telephone Company's personnel in its entire operating area, the State of New York, is employed in New York, 9,000 of the employees in the city's police, fire and street cleaning departments combined. It exceeds the number of workers in any other single business concern in the city. The largest group of telephone employees is the operating force, numbering more than 17,600. To render telephone service from the close of regular office hours to their arrival at the present time 2,275 men and women, of whom 1,365 are operators and 237 plant men. The latter are on duty to meet repair emergencies and to test the equipment for the next day's service. The maintenance of a skilled operating force requires ten traffic employment offices in the city, the city between 9,000 and 10,000 young employees year and 190 instructors for training work in the traffic department schools. 8.000.000, Milga Of Wire. More than 8,000,000 miles of wire form the city's network of communication. They, measure 325 times, the distance around the world times the distance to the moon. In the first nine months of 1928 alone, 386,000 miles of wire were added to this system. Trunk lines and cables pass through, 1,149 miles of telephone subway. These subways contain 647 miles of duct. These subways, in not including private phones, are 1,678,004 or nearly 9 per cent of the 18,893,000 telephones in the United States. It is approximately the same total as for all Great Britain, more than for all South, America, and more than for Taiwan China and British Taiwan. There are more than 38,000 private branch exchange switchboards in the offices, stores, hotels, apartment houses, etc., of the city. An average of 90 calls per second, or an average of 7,757,511 per day, originate in the city's telephones. The heaviest telephone, traffic of the business, takes place between 10 and 11 a.m. and average of nearly 248 calls per second. The average for this "peak" hours? 13-829,826 calls. All of our social, political or economic future is based upon the enlightenment and courage of one group and that is our Youth. As a river can rise no higher than the force of its tribartaries will allow, neither can this group, anywhere rise above the general calibre of the adult direction. To my mind there are three very definite periods in the development of any race of people and they are the thoughtful period, the talkative period and the active, period. And we seemingly are just emerging from the talkative period. A time when an unusually large number of our people are familiar with our problems is engrossed in discussing them, that they can find no time to act. In greater New York it is possibly more difficult to agonize these matters than anywhere in the world for our group, and we are alarmed by the rash and bustle of the Nordic. He rushes because he is busy and time and money are synonymous. He created this busy psychosis and he is able to act in it. Our group is unhappy with their behavior, heir to the whole system, merely their nervous systems, respond and they rush also—but just to keep from thinking how little they have to do. And, so we find ourselves with neither time to think of but an abundance of time to talk We, more than anybody else from the outside, know exactly the needs of our boys and girls and we, until someone suggests real action, then we rush off, too busy to save our own destiny. Then some white philanthropist, out of pure pity, pleaded to accept, never ashamed of our own indulence. Or, some organization suddenly says we cannot carry this paper further and then we shoot and show about discrimination. Here in Harlem, we have three institutions that battle desperately to aid our boys; the church, the school, and the gym. We also, along on the pitiful contributions of a few whose ambition is fired by eternity. But the bulk are not even interested in a hereafter and so they do not get a influenza of this kind. We have to contribute in spite of ourselves. And those youngsters who drop out early, voluntarily or involuntarily, do not get the full benefits of this school. We do not work and if it were not for a faithful few and the people who made this great metropolis, it would vanish overnight. But even this institution can cater to the limited number because of facility and those few boys who can pay. Then comes a great world organization, for boys in the community, with a well organized program and no excuse to anyone in the community. The race is among adults World War II on the ground, and a panic to avoid being responsible for any work. 10,000 boys virtually crying for leadership, a chance to be a man and to avoid being sent to the penitentiary. There is a drive on in Harlem World War II then that boys one night a week, Sunday afternoon, December 16, at 2 o'clock, the 135th Street Y. M. C. A. is throwing open its doors to Seouts so that this may be laid before the men of this community.
