Thompson Declares The Held Where Negro Comra Joseph C. Thomson, a forr of the Veterans of Foreign W New York, will not attend the department to be held on Lin at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel B Brooks Post of Harlem compose was not recognized or invited Mr. Thomson so expressed himself in a letter to Monroe Curtis, senior vice commander, in reply to an invitation from Mr. Curtis asking Mr. and Mrs. Thomson to serve, with other prominent men and women, as patron and patroness for the function. Put Blamo On Hotel Reciting the fact that he subscribed and attended the 1928 ball at the Waldorf Astoria, Mr. Thomson spoke of his amusement at being informed that because of hotel discrimination, none of the members of the colored post, the Dorrence Brooks, were present, and that under such conditions the 1929 ball should have been arranged for at any other place than the Waldorf Astoria, a place where the colored veterans would be welcome. To a letter to the editor, touching upon the matter, Mr. Thomson, a member of the law firm of Thomson and McGinty, Grand Corpourse at 161st street, wrote that "It is my opinion that if a veteran organization cannot consistently maintain and justify its attitude towards no race or color discrimination in its public program it might better fold up its tent and silently steal away to Mr. Curtis, after referring to the fact that "we have an excellent Post in Harlem, known as the Dorrence Brooks Post" (the city has named the square at 136th and 137th streets, Edgecombe and St. Nicholas avenues, in honor of Dorrence Brooks, who was a member of the famous Heliestellers—Old 15th New York). Mr. Thomson expressed himself as follows: To Be No Compromise. "We spend thousands of dollars annually through state and national channels for the furtherance of the principles of Americanism. We had better cancel all that expenditures and insist upon that one practical lesson of Americanism with far more advantage to us and the nation at large. I shall not subscribe to the ball this year and neither shall I attend. It is true that I am a Past New York State Commander of this military veteran organization, but it also is true that I have vigorously asserted at all times my principles on a great many public questions. This happens to be one upon which there will be no compromise. "I hope that you will have the courage and the vigor to remove this stain upon the escutcheon of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at such time that you are elected to the office of State Commander of this organization. You can make that decision with the confident assurance that you will have organ- "Y" Physical Director To Practice Pharmacy "Y" Physical Director To Practice Pharmacy Hands, assistant boss physical director of the West 135th street Y M C A, resigned on December 15 in order to enter his chosen profession of pharmacy.

The New Year Extends to its Readers the Growth wishing for them a Merry Christmas Year. The New York Age ired cooperation from me The statement that the Waldorf Astoria, Hotel had drawn the color line against Negro Veterans of Foreign Wars comes as a surprise to many Harlemites for there have been numerous occasions when colored guests have been present without restriction at functions given in that hostelry. One of the most notable is the former Col. William Hayward, at which scores of colored citizens were present. MAN AND WIFE DEAD IN FIRE ON ST. NICHOLAS AV. Police Dog Wakes Owner Who Spreads Alarm And Saves Many James Townes, twenty-five and wife, Margaret, twenty-five, were burned to death in a fire that swept through the five-story building at 352 St. Nicholas Avenue north of 128th street, at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday. Mrs. Mary Dickerson, trapped in a top floor window, was carried umbrella down an aerial ladder by Leuct. Carey and Fireman Gustave Marousek of Hook and Ladder No. 40. That many lives were not lost was due in part to the intelligence of Prince, a police dog belonging to Andrew Ruffin, living on the first floor: Smoke seeped into the kitchen where the dog was asleep and aroused it. Running into Ruffin's bedroom it pulled the covers off him and barked. Ruffin was shouting an alarm out of a window when Policecene Fox and Rosentein of the West N23rd Street station heard the dog's barks and ran around to find that a cellar fire was rapidly ascending the stairwell. While Fox was arriving tements in the building, the other policeman sent an alarm from the nearest Escape to Rear Yard Most of the occupants of the burning building escaped to the rear yard in their night clothes by way of the fire escapes. Others went to the goof. By the time the first apparatus arrived, the flames had made such headway a second alarm was sounded. By spreading to nearby roos, the blaze forced to the streets, most of them in nightlights, beetles, and 100 fiammes, a total of almost persons. Then only rescue necessary however, was that of Mrs. Dickerson. Everybody was believed to have escaped, but when firemen of No. 40 truck were overhauling the building after the fire was out they found the body of Townes and his wife, who lived in the south apartment on the top floor and probably were killed by smoke before they were burned. Though there were rumors of the fire was suspicious, origin. Fire Marshal Brophy was used to fire a fire for them. All that could be learned was that it started in the cellar and worked its way up the dumbwater and stairwell while most of the tenants were still asleep. 6B-1 Class of Public School 119, which "adopted" poor boy for Xmas holidays.

S.119 ADOPT POOR BOY AS THEIR BROTHER Practical Welfare Work Being Taught Girls Through Service In these days of highly organized charity, the individual seems to feel that all the needy folks are cared for by some one of our splendid charity organizations. But in P. S. 119, Manhattan, the girls are being trained in social service work of the highest kind individual social service. The neediest cases which came to the notice of the teachers were reported and investigated. There each family was given to one special class to look after. Great enthusiasm is being shown in making plans for a happy Christmas for the various needy children. Gifts are being prepared; clothing secured and toys bought by penny-saved from spending money. The following case of Willie is explained in the words of one of the girls. Willie is not his real name but it will do for this story "He was a lucky little boy to be adopted by 6B-1. 6Bl's ADOPTED BROTHER By Minnie Lockley Once upon a time there was a poor little boy named Wilhel. He had no mother and his father did not take good care of him. One day he did not attend school and the truant officer went to the basement where he lived. His father was the janitor in the building. The basement was very dirty and poor little Wilhel sat out in an alleyway. His hand was infected and banded with a very dirty rags. He was dressed in scanty rags, he had no underwear and the fronds of his stockings were out. Poor little boy! He sat patiently looking around him. He was drained to go out in the street in his rags and hid himself in the alley. The attendance officer took Wilhel to a lunchroom and gave him some good food. Then he came to school and told what a pitiful case Wilhel was. The assistant told our class about Wilhel one morning. The afternoon things came rushing in, for our girls had brothers who had some good warm clothes they had out-grown. Then we saved money and one day two of our girls took Wille out shopping after three o'clock, and bought him two blouses, two handkerchiefs, and a pair of stockings. Wille is no longer the shy little fellow of the alley, but romps happily with his schoolmates. Just now we are saving to give him a merry Christmas. We are not rich but if every once in a while a girl who has some money to spend for candy gives a penny or two of it for Wille we find we soon have quite a little fund for our adopted brother.

Its total cost will approximate $13,000, and it is the carryout out of a long cherished ambition on part of Dr. Vincent. With the completion of the building, there remains the task of securing and installing the equipment, for which purpose, Attorney Chase Mellen former counsel for the City Club, one of New York's most prominent lawyers and a long-time admirer and friend of the brilliant young Negro physician, has begun a drive to raise $15,000 for this purpose through personal appeals to those interested in Negro welfare. It is hoped that this will be quickly accomplished, and immediately thereafter will come the formal opening. Interne At Bellevue. A native North Carolinian, son of the late Rev Dr. A. C.

LATIMER, EDISON PIONEER MEMBER, IS DEAD Drew Original Plans For Bell Telephone-Promi- nent Electrician Lewis H. Latimer, an electrical engineer widely known throughout the United States and a member of the Edison Homers, died on Tuesday night, December 11, at his home 137-57 Holly Street, Flushing, in his eighteen year. He was born in Chelsea, Mass. After leaving school, Mr. Latimer became a draftsmaker. He early became interested in electrical developments, and fifty years ago became an electrical engineer. He drew for Alexander Graham Bell the original plans of the telephone These plans are, now on file in the Public Library at Fifth avenue and Forty-second street. He was at one time employed by the General Electrical company, which sent him to London to establish a factory where incandescent lamps were manufactured. During the Civil War he served abroad the U. S. S. Massachusetts. Wrote For The Age Mr. Latimer had lived in Flushing for the last twenty-five years. He was a member of George Huntsmans Post, G A R. R. Two daughters, Mrs Gerald S. Norman and Muss Louse R. Latimer, survive Funeral services were held Friday evening at the house Burial in Fall River, Mass. In the early years of The Age, Mr. Latimer was a valued contributor to its column writing both verse and prose. He was also the author of several text books on electricity, Genial in disposition, he made many friends in the course of his active and varied career. The death of Mrs. Elizabeth D. White occurred Sunday, December 10, after an illness of many years, at the residence of her daughter, Mr. C H Lansing, 508 Quincy street, Brooklyn. Mrs. White was the widow of the late Dr. Philip A. White, for many years, a leading druggist on Gold street, Manhattan, and at one time a member of the Brooklyn Board of Education. Before her illness Mrs. White was active in welfare work having founded the Willing Workers Circle of King's Daughter and given much of her efforts to the establishment of the Brooklyn Home for Aged Colored People, of which she was the first vice-president. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Jen T Mars and Mrs. Charles H Lansing, besides several grandchildren and other children. Funeral services were held at her late residence on Quincy street Wednesday morning, December 19, at ten o'clock. The interment was private. brandt, special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General, laid charges against him, based on the testimony of Anselm P. Magee, a white man of Magee, Miss., former U. S. Marshal, who swore that he paid $2,000 for his appointment, borrowing the money from Hubbard, his friend and neighbor, to make the payment. Russell charged that $1,500 of this sum was paid to Howard in Washington, D. C. Acquitted on First Ballot. Russell was saved from being indicted' because of being granted immunity when Mrs. Willebrandt brought him before the grand jury at Biblox. The jury was never in doubt as to Howard's innocence of the charge, and the vote to acquit was unanimous on the first ballot after they had retreated on Thursday night. The second ballot brought a vote of 11 to 1 for acquittal of the others. Several of the jurors stated frankly that they placed no credence in the story told by Russell, which was without corroboration save for statements made by his brother, A. S. Russell. Jurors said they did not notice the Russells, but thought the political leaders had been exceptionally good to both brothers. Howard was a good witness for himself. He was well-poised, frank, straightforward, and humored throughout a grilled cross-examination by Lester G. Fant of Holly Springs, Assistant District Attorney. He made the impression that he had nothing to conceal. Still National Committeeman In his charge Judge Holmes instructed the jury that Howard could not be convicted of taking $1,500 in Washington, because that alleged offense took place in the District of Columbia, and this court was without jurisdiction, unless the jury also believed from the evidence that Howard had knowledge of the conspiracy to violate the Patronage Act. One result of the verdict will be the late white Republican faction led by the late George Lowndes, S. G. Gordon Carl Sharp, L. O. Croshy will fail in their effort to must Howard as Republican National Committeeman for this State. Howard has no intention of resigning and there is no possible way of bringing about his removal. Suspended From Post Whether or not Attorney General Sargent will remain Howard as his assistant remains to be seen. Other indictments are pending but it is generally believed the Department of Justice picked its strongest case, and that all further efforts to convict them will be futile. After Howard was indicted at the Special term of Federal Court last July, when the charges against him were presented by Mrs. Mabel Willebright, special assistant to the Attorney General, he was suspended from his office at Washington. Later the Republican National Committee recognized the charge and white faction of the Republican Party in this State, and put Lamont Rowlands, millionaire South Mississippi lumberman, in charge of the Hoover campaign. Despite the expenditure of a large sum of money for speakers and campaign literature, Rowlands and his associates succeeded in capturing only about 27,000 votes. The Howard faction probably could have done better, since an overwhelming majority of the qualified Negro voters remained away from the polls in resentment over the dethronement of Howard. Pythians Dedicate $1,500,000 Home In Chicago, Said To Be Largest Building Owned, Controlled By Race Fronts 132 Feet On State Street, Is 9 Stories High, With Theatre Seating 1,400 and Roof Garden Pavilions Chicago, Ill.—The new Pythian Temple, erected in this city at a total cost of $1,500,000, of which more than $1,000,000 has already been invested, is said by the architect, W. T. Bailey, to be the largest building owned and controlled by Negroes anywhere in the world. nd its architectural beauty sets a new land for race business and fraternal enterprises. 'Gentlemen—Please forward me full information how I can share in profits of Superior Art Productions. The Temple, located on State street, has a frontage of 132 feet, with a depth of 124 feet. Including the basement, it is nine stories high, of rough buff pressed brick with terra cotta trimming making a gazelle golden spectacle when lit up with the sun's rays. It is in the heart of a thickly settled Negro community. It was formally dedicated on December 11. Billard room, bowling alleys and drill rooms for the Uniform Bank are located in the basement, while the office gives fronting on State street, with the enclosure to a 1,400-seat theatre built in the rear, running through four stories. Provide 75 Offices. The second, third and fourth floors have 75 offices which are to be available to the public, while the officers of the Pythian Supreme Lodge will be domiciled on the fifth and sixth floors, in the front. The rear fifth door will have four lodge rooms, accommodating about four hundred persons, each while the rear sixth floor will have two halls with a capacity of about one thousand each. Two oblong pavilions, with a large balcony, are located on the seventh and eighth floors, constituting a brightly lighted roof garden. Each pavilion, it is estimated will accommodate 2500 persons and they are to be available for dances, basketball games and other large gatherings. If the front part of these floors are lounging rooms, restaurant soda fountains, check rooms etc. The Temple was first conceived in 1833 when the late Samuel W. Starks of West Virginia, then supreme chancellor, made a recommendation in his report to the swiftly humane session of the Supreme Lodge held in St Louis At this session a resolution by Edward D. Green, supreme representative from Illinois, provided for the erection of the Temple. The temple was appointed at the 1903 session, and in August, 1926 a site for the Temple was selected in Chicago.

The commission was instructed to investigate the situation thoroughly and report their recommendations to the council by May 1. This decision was reached on the proposed ordinance, in which the various viewpoints were presented before a mixed audience of 250 people Negroes Led Opposition The opposition to the ordinance was led by R. W. Carrington, representing the Interracial Committee, who contended that the measure would work a hardship on a great many people and tend to disarrange the existing cordial relations between the races. He was followed by a number of representative Negroes, each of whom had supported the argument. Among these were Attorney Joseph E. Pollard, Rev. W. L. Ransom, I. A. Reed, M. A. Nersev, and W. A. Jordan. The action of the committee in recommending postponement and further study was evidence of the effectiveness of their arguments. The final result will be awaited with interest. The 1927 session, Green was elected, and has served ever since. It was under his administration that construction of the Pythian Temple has been carried on. Mr Green has been a Pythian for 45 years, having been a charter member in 1883 of Tensas Lodge, No. 21, Louisiana. He was elected grand chancellor in 1892, serving through 1896. He declined reelection, but in 1899 he was again called to the post, and has served ever since. Succeeding to the supreme chancellorship in 1903 through the death of Mr. Macauley, Mr Green has been continually reelected. The Pythians of his home city are occupying a $200,000 temple which was built through Mr Green being able to secure $75,000 from New Orleans bankers for that purpose. CHARLES E.

Address your inquiries to SERVICE FOR INVESTORS THE NEW YORK AGE 230 WEST 135th STREET NEW YORK-CITY To the inexperienced investor the stocks Stocks and Bonds are confusing: A bond is an evidence of indebtedness of a corporation, the holder of which is a creditor of the issuing company. When a corporation needs the money for building, expansion or any other business, the borrower may invest the investing public and river as security from the loan a contract by which the borrower promises to pay at a definite time (the maturity date) the amount of the bond (the principal sum) and at regular intervals, interest at a specified rate. Stock, on the other hand, represents a part ownership in a business, the holder of which is subject to a share of the risks of the business as well as a portion of the profits. Bond interest is fixed, and can only be changed by consent of the bondholders themselves, at a bond meeting. Dividends on Stocks are only paid when earnings warrant them, and vary according to the prosperity of the business and the policy of the directors of the company. Bonds are therefore much more stable in price, particularly in case of financial reverses on the part of the corporation, and are not subject to speculative manipulation as are stocks. A comparison of both types of investments will be more fully elaborated out in an ensuing article. TYPES OF BONDS Government Bonds—Issued by the United States or Foreign governments to finance wars (such as Liberty Bonds) public improvements, etc., and are payable from taxes. Municipal Bonds—Issued by cities, states, or districts, and are ordinarily issued to finance local improvements, such as schools, reads, etc., and are also payable from taxes. Corporation Bonds—Issued by industrial, railroad, and public utility corporations for corporate purposes (building extensions acquiring new properties, etc.). Real Estate Bonds—Usually issued to finance the construction of large hotels, apartments, office buildings, etc. First Mortgage Bonds—As collateral or security for the money borrowed the fixed properties of the company are pledged. Assume that a company has or will have plant and equipment worth $2,000,000. First mortgage bonds are issued to the amount of $1,000,000 or 50 per cent of the value of the property (the size of the bond is APARTMENTS TO LET Unfurnished—Brooklyn $25 to $30 Steam Heat, Hot Water Electric, Newly Decorated 4 ROOMS 254 Nassau Street, Brooklyn Janitor on Premises C.

ENGLAND ADOPTS WASHINGTON IDEA OF EDUCATION Industrial Education Is Finding Place In The Leading Schools Industrial education of which Booker T. Washington was the most outstanding apostle, and as taught at such well-known institutions as Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes, has become popular with the English people; according to Miss Georgina A. Gollock of London, former joint editor of the International Review of Mission, who has been making a survey of American educational institutions. "One of the finest girls' schools in England, the Wycombe Abbey, which is attended by daughters of royalty and the wealthy, has made industrial education a part of its study" reports Miss Gollock, who thinks the Miss Learning gives one the privilege of getting more closely with a very large number of men and women. Visits Southern Schools While in the United States Miss Gollock displayed especial interest in Negro education. She visited many of the universities, colleges and industrial schools and spent several weeks in the South. She says she was immensely impressed with the pose, character and intelligence of the teachers in these institutions. "Negro education in the United States is based on extremely sound principles" observes Miss Gollock. "It has a wonderful future. This applies to all types of education, from rural schools, agricultural and industrial institutions, public schools to colleges and universities. It was deeply impressed by the work of these institutions of higher education, and likewise with the influence for good agricultural and secondary schools are exerting in rural communities. "There seems to be a tendency among Negroes of setting one section against the other. This should not be. Neither should be used for the other. Neither should be the other for both are vitally necessary balance should be kept. Backbone of Community "In England the people are in deep penitence for paying too much attention to the book type of education and too little to that which deals with the real life of the people. They are gratifying and inspiring to find in the South educated, clean-living men and women who own their own homes and are enthusiastic students of rural economics. Like the ycleman class of England, these 'people' are destined to become the backbone of their community." Ms. Hollock, who recently wrote "Soo of Africa," which is published in New York, sailed last week on the Georgia Washington for England.

C.—Action to provide for American Negroes better educational facilities was outlined Monday before the opening session of the National Interracial Conference. "Negro education is being taken seriously," said W. A. Robinson of the Knoxville (Tenn.) High School faculty, "for the first time since the earliest days of reconstruction, when Negroes in the South sat in legislatures and expressed their faith in American democracy by enacting laws for the education of all the children of all people." He said, however, that much remained to be done before there would be a parity of educational for Negroes and whites. Quoting from a report of children in Negro education in the South he said that in Southern states as a whole in 1920 $10.32 per capita was spent for white schools, as compared with $2.89 per capita for Negroes. In one Alabama county, he added, the difference was even greater. The theory of "white supremacy" is largely responsible for the injustice to Negroes in education, said Miss Mabel Carney, of Columbia University, New York. She praised the campaign of the National Educational purposes. President James E. Gregg, of Hampton Institute, described importance as a disease, just as dangerous and as likely to spread as other common diseases. "Scenes of Kjr-Kluxery, lynchings and violence are largely in neighborhoods where the least is spent for education," he said. President Senda Greeting. The conference, which continued through Wednesday, was called by sixteen national organizations, dealing with radical questions, to assemble information on relations between the United States and the Middle East.

New Hospital In Harlem Almost Ready To Open (Continued From First Page) Believue, now head of the Jersey City Hospital. After the building had been carried well on the way, it was necessary for Dr. Vincent to seek outside financial assistance, and this was through the intercession of his friend, Mr. Mellon, who interested officials of the Title Guaranty and Trust Co. in the proposition and they, after a thorough investigation, in which they satisfied themselves of the doctor's ability to organize and assume the hospital, made a loan of $65,000 on a first mortgage. Dr. Vincent has the hearty cooperation and assistance of Dr. Robert R. Moton, Casper Holstein, Fred R. Moore and other leading citizens of the city. 5-Story Fireproof Building. A. J. Beckman, hospital consultant, giving of his experience in the matter of equipment, estimates that the maximum expense, of operating will be $6,500 a month, while the income, with only 80 per cent capacity, will total $11,735 a month. Dr. Cruimn estimates that at least 200 more beds are needed in Harlem to care for the average number of sick in the community. The building is five stories, of fireproof construction, with light and air from three sides. It is of 54-bed capacity, and besides wards and operating rooms, will have doctors' offices and a dental suite. The operating staff will be colored, nurses and internes.

In that building are already located the Hanover, Bowling Green and Whitehall offices, which handle a considerable part of Wall Street's telephone service. J. S. McCullough, president of the New York Tephone Company, announced that the board of directors has appropriated $2,300,000 for this new office and for additions to the Hanover office. The project, including switchboards, cables, terminals, and other equipment, will amount to approximately $3,000,000. The new office is scheduled for completion early in September, 1929, fully a year ahead of the time originally planned. Also at that time, to serve the increasing requirements, downtown, another dial office will be placed in service in the West Street Building, where the new Barleyd dial office was opened in November.

C.—On Thursday, December 13, President Calvin Coolidge signed the bill amending an act to incorporate Howard University, which passed the House at the last session and, which bill authorizes the annual appropriation to the school of funds necessary for its support. This legislation will put a stop to the annual recurrence of efforts on part of Democratic representatives to stop appropriations to Howard on the ground that there was no law authorizing such appropriations. istry building for which Congress has already appropriated $150,000.

President Coolidge presented the pen with which he signed the bill Text of Amendment Text of Amendment The text of the amendment reads as follows: "Sec. 6. Annual appropriations are hereby authorized to aid in the construction, development, improvement and maintenance of the university, no part of which shall be used for religious instruction. The university shall, at all times be open to inspection by the Bureau of Education and the shall be instituted a bureat at least once a year.

An effort was made by Senator Tramell of Florida to resind the bill, but his motion was defeated, 55 to 14. Years of persistent effort have been made to secure this legislation by friends of the university in both Houses and by the present and former officials of the school.

Order orders payable to THE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY DECEMBER 22, 1920 This we have upon the authority of a special correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune, which is unimpeachable Republican authority. It is no wonder that Editor Benjamin J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, saw that it was time for him to retire from a hopeless fight to retain his post as member of the Republican National Committee from Georgia. While this movement to unload the Negro Republicans in the South as "excess baggage" might be denounced as heartless and ungrateful treatment for their support of the party for the past fifty years, despite threats and intimidation, it may be that it will prove the only practical method of splitting the Solid South, and at the same time dividing the Negro vote. For it is impossible to believe that any "constitutional plan" can be devised that will permanently deprive so great a portion of the population of the right to vote, solely because of their color. The most adroit and hardboiled schemers of the Democratic party have tried to bring about that result ever since reconstruction days, only to see their many devices swept away after they were brought to the test of legal construction. TEST FOR THE GOVERNOR. With the New Year the State of New York will welcome a new Governor to the office at Albany in the person ofakin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat of more than ordinary standing and ability. New York had a former Governor of the state of Roosevelt, who later became president. It is not improbable that history may repeat itself in this particular, the Governor-elect meets the test of a new office. Few Governors of New York have successfully met the test of making fairly and squarely with the New York as a political factor, regardless of the city which put them in power. They seem to be afraid to appoint one of the test to any office, whether of honor or document, or in any way to recognize as a source of political strength. Then it is not to be supposed for a moment that the oldtime Democrats are going to allow the Lily Whites to deprive them of their long exercised political supremacy without a bitter struggle. If they see in the hitherto suppressed votes of the Negro an available weapon that they can use to save themselves, they will undoubtedly use it. The slogan of white supremacy will be dropped in favor of political supremacy at any cost, as was shown in certain phases of the campaign against Governor Smith. Southern white Democrats have not hesitated to appeal to black voters for support in municipal contests in such cities as Savannah, Atlanta and Memphis, and it is only natural that this process will be carried further to meet the opposition of a stronger second party. This was true of Governors Hughes and Miller, both Republicans, as well as of Governor Smith, who has served three terms in office. The only direct appoints, of a Negro made by the last named man of a former member of the Assembly, to some unimportant law commission. New York is a state where the independent voter counts heavily. This was strikingly exemplified in the past election, where the majorities for the successful candidates were all less than one hundred thousand votes. The state went Republican for President, and yet elected Democratic state officers by less than fifty thousand plurality, and gave the Republicans a majority in the Legislature. There are enough Negro voters in the State to have reversed the entire results of this election, if their votes could have been bunched for the losing candidates. Strenuous efforts of a quiet nature were made under cover to corral this vote for youth, and it is conceivable that if the candidate had made an open and courageous bid for their support, more colored voters might have registered their ballots in his favor, because of their dissatisfaction with Republican policies. But his truckling to Southern prejudices, visible in his policy at Albany in dealing with measures affecting the race, had its effect in driving away Negro votes. The plan of placing the Lily Whites in the saddle in Florida and other Southern States may be the only way to effect a permanent breach in the solidity of the South, but we do not think that it will prove sound policy for the Republican party in the long run. The party stands to lose more than it can possibly gain by such a recantation of its basic principles. And after all, principles have a part in the evolution and development of political parties, as in other mundane affairs. The elevation of the Lily. Whites is bound to promote division among the Negro voters. And the oldline Democrats will be the first to make use of this division, as a means of self-preservation. In the end the Negro will find his ballot needed and solicited by both parties. On the use he can make of it in this contingency will depend the measure of recognition he will receive as a political factor in the State and in the Nation. It remains to be seen whether the incoming Governor will meet the test of recognizing the Negro element of the population of the State as a political entity any better than did his predecessors, Hughes, Miller and Smith. Mr. Roosevelt is chiefly known to readers of the race for his authorship of the new Constitution, which he wrote for the Republic of Haiti, when he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy in the Wilson administration. He was said to have pronounced it a pretty good constitution, even if he did write it himself, and it served to further the exploitation of the island in the interest of American capital. It may have had some good features in it at that, as one of the complaints of the Haitian patriots was that the Harding and Coolidge administrations had failed to permit the carrying out of the provisions of this constitution in the favor of autonomy, or an independent government under control of Haitians themselves. Let the Lily Whites try to ride alone. It will not be long before they will come a cropper. IT HAPPENED IN MISSISSIPPI. At Jackson, the capital of the State of Mississippi, a jury of twelve white men rendered a verdict of not guilty, in the case of four Negroes, tried on the charge of violating the Federal Patronage Conspiracy Act, and the defendants were duly acquitted. This happened, despite the fact that the charges were presented to the grand jury which indicted the defendants, by Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, a special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, and the further fact that the chief witness against the accused was a white man, and a former United States marshal. According to a special despatch to the New York World, several of the jury stated frankly that they placed no confidence in the testimony of this witness, who swore that he had paid the defendants two thousand dollars to secure the office of marshal. There was, but little corroboration of Russell's testimony, save by way of circumstantial evidence and the statements of his brother. The jurors said that they not only did not believe the two Russells, but that they thought the Negro politicians had been exceptionally good to them, and that they did not have much respect for informers anyhow. But the questions for Governor Roosevelt to consider the coming year will be purely domestic. Whether so large a group of the body politic as the Negro voters constitute, are not entitled to some recognition on state commissions and in other offices dealing with state affairs. Capable representatives for such posts can be found among the group affiliated with both parties. It is time that such recognition should be accorded in New York State, as in Illinois and other states where the Negro has/become a factor in politics. The accused politicians in this case who were charged with extorting money for securing appointments to Federal office, were Perry Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi and a special assistant to the Attorney General; Dr. S. D. Redmond, chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee; his brother, A. M. Redmond, and Ed L. Patton, a veteran who has attended every Republican national convention in the past twenty-five years. LILY WHITES IN THE SADDLE. The Republican program for the reorganization of the party in Florida, one of the four Southern States that cast its electoral vote for Hoover, contemplates the exclusion of the Negro from its membership. In other words, the party is to take on a "illy white" tinge, and with the joint efforts of the Hoover Democrats, work out a "constitutional plan," for the elimination of the darker brother. The fact that a Mississippi jury acquit these defendants after a fair trial of THE NEW YORK AGE the charges, which were prosecuted with all the power of the Department of Justice asserted against them, argues that the evidence must have been pretty weak to have failed to secure a conviction. The Age has no brief in behalf of Perry Howard, since he found it expedient or necessary to become an apologist for the Ku Klux Klan, but it has no desire to see him the victim of injustice. If the evidence offered to support the charges was insufficient to convince this Mississippi jury, he was undoubtedly entitled to an acquittal. The whole proceeding against Howard and his associates smacked of an effort to eliminate him from politics in Mississippi, in order to give a clear field to the Lily White Republicans. It is well that it has failed in this particular case. It is equally remarkable that the Republican newspapers failed to print any account of the result of the trial. THE RUSSIAN EXPERIMENT Various nations are trying out all kinds of social experiments, in these modern times of trying to change human tendencies and habits by statutes and punishments. The United States is trying the so-called noble experiment of Prohibition with results that are defined differently by different people. Great Britain has instituted a system of doles to prevent the unemployed from starving, which is said by some observers to promote idleness and mendicancy. Russia is trying the greatest experiment of all perhaps, by substituting a government by the proletariat for the rule of the autocracy. Americans who have visited Russia of late do not bring back the same story. Some say that the former country of the cares is "going to the dogs," while others praise the rule of the soviet republic as ideal in its aims, if not always in its methods. In the Southern Workman for December, James H. Hubert writes of "Russia, the Mystery Republic," as a great social laboratory, where men are renouncing wealth for what are termed the higher possessions. He says that all real property, including stores and houses in the cities, is owned and operated by the government. Families who before the revolution lived in eight rooms now live in two and three, and, he adds, "they seem to enjoy it." Rents are apportioned according to one's wages. Each factory has its health committee and clinic and the workers are given physical examinations at regular periods. Everything is 'done to fit the worker to his job, and he is sent to a sanitarium or rest cure whenever it is thought necessary. Recreational facilities are provided for clubs of workers in the shape of tennis, basket ball, dancing, theatres, swimming pools, etc. Prisons are said to be conducted not so much for revengeful punishment, but as a means for correction and improvement. Mr. Hubert declares that Russia welcomes trained Negroes and points to the example of Attorney William Patterson of Harlem, whom he found making himself felt as one of the under secretaries of the Soviet Government. He thinks that "perhaps no land offers just now a more virgin field and rarer opportunity for the young educated Negro to share in the building of a great empire with assurance that his efforts will be appreciated and rewarded." And yet we recall that such earnest socialists, or rather communists, as Emma Goldman and William Haywood were disappointed, with the state of affairs that they found in Russia. The simplicity and readiness with which marriage and divorce may be accomplished under the soviet system seemed to amaze the visitor, who spent one morning in the marriage and divorce courts and witnessed seven divorces and many weddings. After assuring the questions on a blank, hardly more complicated than our application forms for a driver's license, the clerk asks if you want the court to notify your husband or wife, as the case, may be. If the answer is yes, a postal card does the trick, according to Mr. Hubert, and the applicant stands free to take another chance in the matrimonial lottery. But once married, warns Mr. Hubert, "you can under no circumstances be divorced under three months." Mr. Hubert finds food for thought on the part of those who devote so much hard earned money to elaborate church buildings, in the fact that many of the Russian churches of which there are two thousand in Moscow alone, have been converted into museums, sanitariums and schools. He found that the Russian of today has substituted Leninism as the new religion, and a draped-off Lenin corner has taken the place of the icon, or sacred image, in the household. He thinks the most admirable thing about the soviet regime is that it has brought necessities within the reach of the workers, while luxuries are almost impossible to buy. With all the governmental regulation COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON THE SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS he found a surprising amount freedom everywhere, even the schools and the prisons encouraging self-reliance. He quoted from the "Diary of a Communist Schoolboy," the action of a pupils' council, which decided that there was no reason why they should remove their hats on entering a classroom or lecture hall, or greet their teacher at the beginning of the day's session. To say "good morning" when one was out of sorts constituted hypocrisy, "and hypocrisy was something worthy only of a Discussing the rumors alleging discrimination against colored buyers and in some cases discourentous treatment, in certain Baltimore stores, the Baltimore Herald and Commonwealtl said: There are more than 11,000 Negroes in Baltimore of whom at least sixty-five per cent are wage earners, earning an average of $1,000,000 a week. About 12,000 are heads of families paying rents of about $900,000 and about $900,000 for necessities and amusement. White amusement houses shut out Negro patrons almost entirely; moving pictures absolutely and legitimate houses; and galleries where the most rigid jim crow regulations are enforced, giving Negro patrons the poorest seats in Jim crow galleries. Very little money is spent by Negro patrons white show houses. Negro housing is fairly satisfactory and the moneys spent for housing and amusements are spent through channels which are, in turn, used for the housing and at least measurably satisfactory. The money spent in the downtown stores, where discrimination is practiced and affronts offered, is the money spent in the transportation and unhappiness and that state of affairs should not exist. The buying power of the colored people amounting to a million dollars can be used to create itself without meeting rebuff, insult or embarrassment. The remedy suggested is to buy from those houses that seek colored trade, and for the race to develop its own business by massing its buying power for its self-advancement. Attributing the killing, of a Birmingham youth by a friend and yellow townman to the "accident of fat madness incited by mass thought," the Birmingham Reporter elated upon "The Affliction of the Fad," in this strain. The athletics fad about educational institutions has for years taken more than its share of the actual blood from their arteries. The rise of athletics has been attended by a fall of scholarships, a weakening of the student body, and the burden in regard to the application and the division of time. If the student personnel could get the individual physical benefits of athletics under requirements similar to those obtaining in other lines of work, the disaffection of the athletes would balance all tendencies away from same procedure. But the crowd for the crowd's sake is much of the whole. The lines are thronged with individuals who do not know one conclusive way to approach the crowd half way across the continent for the occasion and appear to enjoy it as much as the expert. In fact, they do enjoy it quite as much, because their enjoyment depends on what everybody knows and about with the crowd because without the crowd they have neither the stimulus to laugh nor are they seen to appear in great spirits. They spend their meager earnings and are called to pay the they pay to be called a good sport. Perhaps America's greatest affliction is its mass thought and mass action, and the criticism made by the visitor from foreign countries where mass action is precluded in countries with an individual enthusiasm inspired by the American enthusiasm for fads, gang thought and gang action. Oi course, college athletics may be taken seriously both by students and alumni, especially in the matter of football. But recent indications seemed to point to a sander estimate of the relative importance of the game. The Florida Sentuel of Jacksonville waxed enthusiast over "The Paget of Progress," staged at the Florida. Stats Fair recently. It said: The several thousand who braved the cold weather to attend, not only saw the spectacle of their children and the actors, but the more important history of the American Negro. Beginning with Jamestown in 1619, they saw the slave driven like animals, brought to this continent and sold into bondage. Persuasion and entreaty only provoked laughter and curses from the master; it took force to bring him to his knees and impress the hearts of an oppressed people. With emancipation, history begins with a people who travelled fast. The scenes move rapidly as the late slave becomes master of education, the slave becomes a master of the soil, the graduate of the leading universities in the country. The pageant, conceived, written and directed by Mrs. Zara Cully brown, librarian and dramatic art artist, offers more than the mere history of the race from 1619 to 1928. It suggests the possibilities of a race who have had the ability and fortitude to accomplish so much in capitalists." Evidently such minor details as good manners do not enter into the soviet program. Etudiette and moral codes are not accepted as a matter of course, because they were adopted by one's forebears. Nevertheless,. Mr. Hubert believes that "Russia marks a new era in the world's history and is a great laboratory with fertilizing material for a new epoch." And it might be added that, like most fertilizers, some of the material smells rather rank. of the race the example of achievement, that may serve as a barometer of the heights to be reached by a more diligent application of those fundamental principles of racial development. A repetition of the pagan was called for, under better weather conditions, for the encouragement of the youth of the race. The Houston, Informer is somewhat curious to know whether the disensions among the Texas Democracy mean a new party in that State. It said. In the senatorial, congressional, gubernatorial, state and county races in 1930, will this proposed political organization of anti-Smith Democrats oppose all former Smith supporters aspiring for public office, and will this newly formed organization back those candidates who were targeted to the New York governor's presidential candidacy? In other words, has the Texas house of "Democracy" divided and come to the parting of the ways, or will the Smith Democrats hoist the "white flag" and accede to the peace terms submitted and promulgated by the anti-Smith forces? Who is who and which is which in this state, and will undoubtedly, be determined within the next biennium. At this stage of the game (judging from recent presidential election returns in this state and the small number of Texans who voted for the reelection of Governor Moody), it appears as if the anti-Smith Democrats will whip hand over the Smith Democrats; and it will be interesting to watch and await political developments in the former banner Democratic state of the country, which recently gave its twenty electoral votes to a Republican presidential nominee for the presidency in the political history of the state. Well, politics not only makes some strange bedfellows, but politics also makes some fellows cut some curious capers and do some odd idodes. In the meantime it is alleged that certain Democratic leaders in Bexelan county are trying to "steal" the election from the Republican Congressman, who was elected on the face of the returns. Commenting upon Dr. Kelly Miller's urgent desire for a rebirth of the Negro Sanhedrin, to consider the political future of the race, the Pittsburgh Courier throws cold water on the proposal in this fashion Do we really need another San- hedrin? Will anything of value come out of another talkiest? Did any- thing of value come out of the first Negro Sanhedrin? The answer to all of these questions is "No". What can another Sanhedrin do? Organiz- ations already in existence are do- ing their best to safeguard the civil and political rights of the Negro. If they are not doing as much as they should in this direction, it is largely due to the Negro's lack of financial support. It is doubtful whether holding another talkfest would tend to loosen up the purse strings of the black public. As for settling on some national program for the race, that sounds Utopian. We are residents in a vast empire, as large as Europe, in which there are many sections whose economic life and customs differ considerably from each other. There is as much difference between Illinois and Miss- issippi, there is between Russia and Romania. The same tactics that will be found effective political- ly by black people in Illinois will be of little or no value in Mississippi pl; what will advance the interests of the race politically in Massachusetts might retard them in South- Carolina. It is impossible except when speaking very generally to say what Negroes ought to do everywhere in the United States. in the Pittsburgh editor's opinion, the Negroes all over the United States are doing whatever they can to further themselves politically and otherwise. This may be stretching the facts, but it has a substantial basis of truth. A news article in the Houston In- former tells of a youthful colored aviator who is anxious to make a good tour. It said: Lloyd Womack, 20, the South's only colored aviator, who has been flying in Houston for the past year, sending funds with which to finance a good tour in behalf of the race. Mr. Womack, the only colored member of the National Fliers Association, has risen from a job as plane wiper to his present position as a flight attendant. Rapid rise, if published, would rekindle an Alger romance. On Sundays and holidays, Mr. Womack takes colored passengers on pleasure trips, while at other times he is engaged in embody work or repairing old planes. Off duty, this young aviator is extremely upbeat and when asked con- THE AGE READERS' FORUM If Every White Man Has His "Uncle Tom" Then Every Negro Has His "Mr. Charlie" cerring his intentions he said: "My ambition is to be able to teach other members of my race to fly, so that they won't have to gam this knowledge in a round-about way as I did. A committee of some of Houston's influential citizens of color is being formed to promote a campaign to assist young Womack in making his goodwill tour, and to establish an aviation school for Negroes. This adds one more to the venture-some members of the race who are ambitious to qualify as bird men. Deploring the abbeice of any established broadcasting station owned and controlled by the race the Chicago Whip said: Five years ago this writer, functioning in the same capacity as editor of this newspaper, wrote an editorial emphasizing the power, infu- nition, and possibility of radio and stresses the necessity of broadcasting stations and operated by our people. This idea been seized upon and materialized by those who had the sufficient capital and vision to take the chance. Editor of The New York Age: Booker T. Washington often said: "However intolerant: a community must seem and however apac- tualistic, be tolerant, be disco- rd, in every community, be Negroes and white people, every white man knew some one Negro whom he believed in and trusted, and every Negro knew some white man regarded as a friend and upon whom he could call for advice and aid." A general impression has gained currency, even in the best circles of our communities, to the effect that every white man has some Negro all who Negroes ought to be. It is an uncommon thing for white people to say to their type of Negro, "If every Negro were like you, there would be no race problem." The person under consideration may be a physician, a boot- black or a bishop. It is also true that every Negro or group of Negroes has his or its typical white man. The Y. M. C. A. group have their white friends who are sure are whole-heartedly conscious and courageously loyal. The different Negro institutions with mixed boards are sure they have the most and the most dependable white friends. There is no doubt in the minds of the Urban League groups that they have been most scientific in selection of and affiliation with the most upstanding and trusted friends of the Negro community. The Advancement Association group regard themselves as the criteria in picking out the friends of the oppressed and the justice-dealing discipline of this generation. The group has a member of a branch of a general church offer their exponents of universal brotherhood as having been chosen by spiritual insight and urged on by divine enthusiasm; and so it goes with experiences of the two groups, wherever there are biracial contacts. There is only one danger in this segmented affiliation and that is, each group will decide that his particular chosen representative is the dominant character of the human family, and that his approach to this whole problem of interracial good-will is the only solution. The positive results accruing from this interracial enterprise grow out of the fact that there is a white and colored people in every race and hamlet, who believe enough in each other to offer stability to our changing social order, to the extent that in the most intolerant and benighted communities of the nation, there are at least five conditions are at least viable. The bodies of activism is in multiplying the points of contact of the "Uncle Tom's" and the "Mr. Charles"s; for on there Two Commandments hang much of the law of the prophets in race relations. JESSE O. THOMAS Atlanta, Ga The Negro Needs More Organizations and Business Patronage Editor of The New York Age The twentieth century Negro faces a serious situation in America. The older he becomes, the more hatred is developed toward him by the oppressive race. This can be seedy very plainly day in our lives. There was a time when the Negro was considered and treated like a third country but that time has gone. Instead of going upward, it seems as if he is going backward. We are educating our children, but what amount to it if we are not going to organize and support our organizations to open up the avenues of employment to them. There will be no room for Negro boys and girls in the offices of the white owners other than to do janitor work or something of the like, so they should begin to do something for our business. We expend our earnings with business enterprises operated by the other race, and we are not doing anything for the betterment of our young men and women's working conditions. I noticed the other day as surveyed by some of our leading experts on the insurance market, $500,000 Negroes insured with the Merrill Lite Life Insurance Company alone, nowwithstanding the many others we carry. Negro life insurance. This company is collecting from Negroes in the United States $10,000,000 annually, without giving a single one of our group employment as a clerk or examining physiometrics. We lend a single dollar comparatively the pressing financial problems face ```markdown ``` --- A hundred, thousand dollars would have given us a *station* capable of making us an artiste. As it is we are plant and without voice unless some of the white owners see it to broadcast us playing jazz music or singing spirituals ranging from five to eleven thousand from five to all over the nation and our best knowledge and belief not a single license has been granted to a black man and not a single application has been filed. None can say that we lacked the funds for they lay idle drawing three per cent interest in the white matter of the brain, so could not have secured a wave length because a little while ago the air was as free for a wave length as it is to the birds. We lacked the courage and in consequence a golden opportunity to express ourselves has passed since the air channels are now crowded and under control of the "Federal Radio Commission." As a means of propaganda and advertising the radio has been exploited to the limit, so that the overtaxing of this medium of publicity in many cases defeated the aims of its exploiters. ing our group every day. Suppose this had been expanded with some of our insurance companies. Think of $10,000,000 yearly. Why it would give more than ten thousand of our young men and women coming out of the various colleges and colleges employment. We have few jobs, our people do not support them, and many other business enterprises that 'should be of much benefit to our people if they would only patronize them. The Negro has a long way to go yet before he will worked out his own salvation and have to do it. It can only be done by ourselves and patronizing our own organization. Any of our cities with a population of over one hundred thousand people should be able to publish a daily newspaper easily the interest of our race in general. Although we have many cities in this country with a population exceeding that number. I am told there are about two hundred and ten Negro weekdays, and we have hardly enough people in our race interested in the good we derive through the Negro press them, although it is the only fearless group we have to speak for our rights as citizens. Colored men and women of the United States, I want to advise you to learn to appreciate your own business organizations and support them one hundred per cent and you will, sooner that you think, win your place in the United States as a citizen.

The order of things is much the same, only as men assert themselves to be about the much needed reforms. In contemplation of the future, resolutions will be in order, therelet us resolve first of all to be men of daring courage and resolute in our purpose; let us not be content to move, but to have the power which has impeded our progress for these many years. Let us pray that the order of things may be changed and apply our knowledge to the task of bringing about that change. Let us teach the youth of the race to give every man a square deal, and to make satisfied with anything less than a man of the old and ringing in the new, let us think not merely of revealing and the formal Happy New Year, but resolve to make others happy in a more tangible way. One should take as it is to see to see if we have looked at what we have done, what have we done to help our fellow'man; have we put our shoulder to the wheel and done our bit in helping to roll away the clouds of prejudice which have obstructed our pathway? Have you placed on the tow and self-self the storm's tide of greed and despair? Have we made any real sacrifices in the interest of the whole? Please think of these things and strike out with the New Year to redeem the time while you live in the city, or sell off our duty to our welfare. Let us over cast the morning of our lives with unavailing gloom. The somber side of life will show itself soon enough without any hasty on our part to draw aside the curtain. Sincerely yours K. McMOORE (Register Number 6537) Southern Illinois Penitentiary Menard, IL THE NEW YORK AGE --- CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Grace Church of Harlem in the absence of Dr. A. C. Garners, who has been in Philadelphia for the past few days attending the funeral services of Dean W. Calvin, the angel who was able filled by Rev.

Refuge Church of Christ The holiday season is dawning upon the Christian world, Christmas, like the sun, is beginning to glow forth and show itself upon the horizon of time. Its appearing arrival may be like unto a morning before the sun sets, and clouds. Thousands that hailed the rising sun at dawn Christmas a year ago, will hail it no more, for they have gone the way of all flesh. Hundreds who trod the face of our terrestrial globe at the Yuletide season this year will never see Christmas. They will never see the youth, they that are in the full prime of life, the hoary, and aged, "seeking something that will stand and hold firm when everything else has failed, including money, health, friends, relatives, fame notoriety, as well as the Christmas joys; and that is nothing other than Spirit of the Tree and Living God. To be pleasing in the sight of the Eternal I Am and to render its duty to humanity the doofs of The Refuge Church of Christ swung open Monasteries where the missionaries were conducted by the Missionaries that have paved the way for many to walk down the highway of holiness into the Kingdom of God. "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake must I sacrifice forth its righteousness and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. Ye, and for the sake of a lost world will I not rest and be comforted until man shall see the Arth and trust in God." Such was the sermon on Tuesday evening, December 11. Wednesday, December 12, the doors of the church swung open with the Junior Church at the head of affairs for the evening. Liberate the church for Church. "Consider the lites of the field, how they grow; they took not neither do they spin," were the comforted words used as a text by the young minister to those that walked to hear his message. Licentious to the church of December 13 before an anxious congregation. Friday, December 14, was a day that the church devoted to fasting and praying for the sick and afflicted—Jehovah—The Almighty—may heal their feeble bodies of whatsoever disease or complaint they may be afflicted with. Irrespective of modern physicians diagnosis the Lord of Hosts heals all diseases, not with healing lingering on the human body. Licentiate Leon L. Rhone preached a beautiful spirit-filled sermon from the Proverbs of King Solomon 1st chapter, 32nd and 33rd verses. The church invited to attend these sermons did not nightly throughout the year.

Lawson preached an eloquent sermon at the eleven o'clock services, using for his text "What thou thou of Him? John 17." The large crowd at the audition received something in the message that will remain in their hearts for a long time. What sayeth thou of Him, the Prince of Peace, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father—the Redeemer, Healer of the world, and soon coming King Bernal—What sayeth thou of Him? Pastor Lawson preached to the fringe crowd that filled the massive auditorium at the evening service, and then demonstrated the power of the Holy Spirit but also the saving and healing powers of God Almighty.

At eleven o'clock, a large number of friends and members assembled in man-made auditorium and woven a gospel sheet. Rev. Dr. Douglas, the pastor, preached a practical sermon, selecting as his theme "Freedom with God." Some of the high points to be considered in this beautiful lesson: First, in order to prepare ourselves to revive our faith, we must free ourselves from vanity, pride and those things which tend to make us personal slaves. There is no one so low, but that God's love can save him. It is the duty of a Christian man or woman to go into the world with the grace of a person who has fallen. The "Freedom with God" gives one that brotherly feeling toward all mankind. It bestows a spiritual Freedom upon us, and causes us to enjoy liberty of heart, mind and soul.

Edward's outstanding college half mile, and captain of the New York University track team, has decided to compete in the mile races, instead of the half mile during the winter season Edwards has never run the mule, but Coach Emil Emit Elling has been so impressed with the showing Edwards has been making in training, he intends to send his star runner after the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America one mile indoor title and gamble that Edwards can come back, one hour later on the same night and run the anchor half-mile lap on the team that will defend the two-mile relay championship. Remarkable Versatility: Since the opening of the present school term, Edwards has been showing remarkable versatility as a gunner. He won the 880-yard outdoor championship at Cambridge for N Y U- the first outdoor track title ever won by the Violet team. Then a little later the New York University cross-country runners—Phil Edwards, Nat Lerner and Irving Roth—won the metropolitan, and later the Middle Atlantic States cross-country titles. This background of cross-country running, that set the foundation for improved stamina, is expected to make Edwards better than ever and, since the first of the year, he has enjoyed phenomenal success in racing here, in Canada and abroad. Best 600-Yard Man. In the last indoor season he was the country's best 600-yard man, winner of the national indoor 600-yard title, the Casey 600, in the grand time of 1-12 4-5, the metropolitan indoor 1,000-yard championship, in the record time of 2-15 2-5 winet of six individual races in succession and anchor man on winning relay teams, nine straight times After winning the collegiate 880, the slender Negro star from British Guiana was better than ever in races abroad, placing fourth in the Olympic 800-meter, beating Lloyd Halm for the Irish 800-meter title in 1:32 1:5 (a grass track record), and evoking considerable applause from 40,000 Britons with his relay running for Great Britain against the United States at Stanford Brad. In the Olympics, Edwards pulled his slender build with an iron-man stunt that consisted of three 800-meter races on successive days, three 400-meter races in the next two days and two more 400-meter races in the relay at the end of the week. Should Beat 4.20 Easily. His showing abroad last summer established Edwards as one of the six, and perhaps four, greatest half-milers in training in the world today. His venture into the mile field will be interesting. He should be able to beat 4.20 easily, what with his speed and strength, and the indoor intercollegiate mile record of 4.17 4.5 made by Jimmy Connolly, seems well within his reach if he goes after the mark. Edwards has been resting for nearly a month. He will resume training in about three weeks. Kid Chocolate To Fight at Olympia A.C.

C.—it is pretty well known that that football, championship of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association was won beyond doubt by the famous State College team. Only one opposing team in the Conference scored against the Bulldogs. Allen University accomplished this by reason of exhausted condition of the State College team during the last game of the season, after having played through a hard schedule of nine games, the team being practically out of trim and physically weak. In spite of these handicaps, however, the Bulldogs rose to the emergency and finally came out victorious. The entire college has backed the athletic program this fall Already the Bulldogs are preparing for next season's conquest The schedule of 1929 will include games with Tuskegee, Atlanta University, Johnson C.

C.—in keeping with the custom, inaugurated by Dr. Emmett J. Scott several years ago, the football squad was tendered a banquet Saturday night; Speakers presented, included representatives of the Board of Trustees Alumni, Board of Athletic Control, and squad. After presenting the luminaries the lesser lights were brought into play in Dear Holmes' tribute to the scrubs. Coach West received a great ovation. His work was praised by both president of the University and president of the Board of Athletic Control, who stated that had he done only half as well, in consideration of the difficulties with which he was confronted, the season would have been regraded as successful. To have suffered only one defeat in one of the hardest schedules Howard has ever tackled, and to have field the national champions to a scoreless tie were an achievement that far surpassed the highest expectations. Coach West expressed deep appreciation for the support which had been accorded him. He stated that during the entire season he had not received one act of discourtesy or inubordination on the part of any player; that while he regretted exceedingly the loss of three of his mainstays in Dan Brown, Jack Coles, and Hawkins, the spirit of the men to carry on was the thing that gave him greatest encouragement; that due to the loss of his two plunging backs he had to resort to an aerial attack as an alternative and that in the game at Atlanta with 16 forward passes completed out of 22, Howard had set a new intercollegiate record. He urged the men to keep up in their scholarship and to take care of their physical condition in order that they may be ready and eligible to answer the call on the 15th of next September. Ex-captain Ross spoke of Coach West as the best coach Howard has had in recent years. 'The letter men withdrew from the banquet hall to elect the captain for 1929 Harry Webb, 210 pound-right tackle, was given the honor Webb is a graduate of Latin High School in Boston, Mass., senior in College of Liberal Arts, majoring in Physical Education, for three years a member of the University Gke Club and is one of the most genial and popular students in the University. Sound Pictures and Revue At Lafayette Theatre Anudier splendid stage and screen program opened a week's engagement at the Lalayette Theatre.

The feature picture for the week is "The Night Watch" starring beautiful Billy Dove. This is a gripping romance of a girl who is trapped aboard a battleship during a naval encounter and is forced to hide in the quarters of a man who is desperate for love and lust.

Drama In Tap Dance, Says Bill Robinson "There is as much drama in a tap dance as there is in a play," declares Bill Robinson, conceded the world's greatest tap dancer, who is one of the outstanding stars in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Elding Theatre. "Tap dancing, in my estimation," explained Mr. Robinson, "is as much a business as playwrighting. By that I mean, unless one knows the shadings of plot, one cannot write a substantial play. And unless one knows how to introduce this idea into the tap dance one emerges but a so-so performer. I have studied tap dancing for almost forty years and believe I appreciate the fundamentals' of this art more than any one in the theatre. "There was a time when I thought that tap dancing was merely proper recording, to music, of course, of sound beats. And while this is naturally the essential foundation on which this style dancing is based, it is nevertheless only the beginner's stage. Tap dancing must have light, color, eyes, and even motivation to give it artistic sparkle. Merely dancing in time to music is all right in its small way, but unless one brings to it soul too, it falls short of greatness. Saturday, December 22, 1926 OR SEASON INDOOR 5,000 Try To Hear "Battle of Jazz" At The Savoy Ballroom The biggest attraction of the Savoy Ballroom for the fall season took place Wednesday night, December 12, when six of New York's leading jazz bands competed in a "battle of jazz" as some 2,000 dance lovers crowded the dance floor or locked on. Outside more than 2,000 were turned away because of the lack of space to accommodate more people within the building. Never before in the memory of Harlem dance lovers, were six such personalities gathered under one roof as Duke Ellington with the soul stirring army of blue blowers; His Dixon, the big man who reversed Horace Greeley's words by telling his boys to "Go East, young men, there are new fields to conquer"; Lock wood Lewis, just a young fellow with a radiant personality; Charlie Johnson, whose music makes you feel like gliding on the air; Arthur Gibbs, one of the shining lights of Broadway; and last, but not least, Lloyd Scott, king of anconyators. These six popular bands almost raised the roof with their melodies The building shook with applause, the throngs went wild with enthusiasm as each music master in his turn sent forth his melodies "The battle of jazz" ended well, cut any decision rendered as to who the winner was, as the giddy mob of dancers consumed the melodies of each aggregation, seemingly uncon- Colored Theatre In Harlem BILN THEATRE 58 Went 135th Street BING UP TO SUNDAY NIGHT BEDISON CAREY'S DLE VAMPS THE COUNTY FAIR Ele Chorus and a Gang of Entertainers Day to Sunday, December 20-21-22-23 RES in "EXCESS BAGGAGE" Running All Next Week Fast Appearance at Popular Prices Opening on Broadway P HARLEM" Company of 60—PEOPLE—60 Roosevelt Theatre FIVE DAYS Monday Tuesday and Wednesday November 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 DR HUGO'S CLASSIC "N WHO LAUGHS" WEIDT and MARY PHILBIN and spectacular photodrama surpasses in anything ever before attempted in FIGURES AND STAGE HITS BING COLORED THEATRE RAYETTE AVE RIVER ST Up to Sunday, December 28, Inclusive) Le Saunders THE 1929 EDITION OF "HOT MAMA" First Colored The LINCOLN NOW PLAYING UP TO ADDISON CREOLE AT THE COW With A Cyclonic Creole Chorus Photoplay, Thursday to Su WILLIAM HAINES in Coming All Positively the Last Appeal Before 'Opening "DE E P H With a Company o M. & S.

The closing number, played by Dr. Charlton, was the Lefebre-Welly "Offertoile."

During an intermission, Auld played two original奏作曲ations. Mr. Auld was accompanied by Mrs. Latimer Norman of Flushing.

CARNEGIE HALL SUNDAY AFTERNOON JANUARY 6 Roland Hayes Negro Tenor Tickets At Box Office Mason and Hamilia piano NOVELLO DULA PINDER Appeared with success in Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn; under management of W. Clinton Holloway. Harrisburg, Pa.—A concert of unusual, merit was given Friday, December 14, in Fahnestock Hall by Gertrude Martin, the gifted young violinist of New York City, assisted by Robert S. Washington, a promising bartonite of this city, with Lillian Ball at the piano for both artists. From the moment Miss Martin began her first number, Concerto No. 22 (first movement), by Viotti, the audience realized that it was listening to a musician who was a part of the music and instrument she was playing. Schubert's "Ave Maria" and Kreisler's "Leibesfreud" were beautifully rendered, as were her remaining numbers. That was by Masenet "Southern Sketch" by Bujuelo, including number "Ballade and Polonaise," by Vixtemp. She was enthusiastically applauded, and responded with two encores, "Schoen Rosemarin" by Kreisler, and "From the Canebrake," by Gadmar. Mr. Washington, who has a deep baritone voice chose for his offerings, "Dio Possente" by Gound, and "Der Erkonigt" by Schubert, which he sang superbly and for which he was heartily applauded. He responded with "fallyho" by Leoni. Miss Lillian Ball, accompanist, gave a splendid account of herself. Her interpretation was sympathetic rare musicianship, and intelligent, and demonstrated Miss Martin was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Gertrude Martin, and during their stay in the city they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. G. Bernard Valentine, Mr. Valentine was the sponsor of the concert. Negro Spirituals To Feature London Xmas London, England—In the old days of England's Christmas pantomimes the actors sang old carols and madrigals which had come from Elizabethan times and earlier. This year, however, Negro Spirituals are to be sung at Christmas entertainments, and all over London entertainers are struggling to master the Dixie accent before Christmas Day comes. One can hear Negro songs being played on a hundred pianos, strummed on a hundred mandolins, sung by a hundred voices in studios of Charing Cross Road or Shaftesbury venue in the theatre district. Everywhere they are singing about corn fields and cotton fields, about Kentucky and Virginia and Alabama. The reason is not difficult to find. Several months ago the song "Ole Man River" came to London in a musical show, and scored one of those phenomenal successes which fall to the lot of one, song every two or three years. Immediately imitations were written, with the intention of making inroads upon "Ole Man River's" popularity. There is one called "Roll Away Home" and is making all its own. Others like "Just Give the Southland to Me", are based upon the old Spirituals and will be used in numerous Christmas pantomimes. The London public which goes into cacesties over a new song hit has expressed an unmistakable preference for rolling, sweeping melodies with a dash of sentiment and a dash of pathos, such as it finds in the Negro songs. For the time being the, writers of comic songs are traveling a rocky road; their public wants to hear no more about mothers-in-law, or the younger generation, or the wireless men. London's song audiences this year like living below the Mason-Dixon line; and those old gentlemen who bristle at the thought of London's rapid "Americanization" have another alarming symptom to jot down in their mental notebooks. EDWIN COATES 139 W. 136th St. New York City Plano Composition Harmony Ear Training ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM At the recent election of officers held by the Clet Club at its club rooms, the following members were elected to fill offices, for 1929: Irving Williams, president; Robert Freeman, 1st vice president; Lloyd Grey, 2nd vice president; Joseph Breen, treasurer; Luther Blake, financial secretary; Harry N. Poinsetta, recording secretary; Harry Haynes, sargeant-at-arms; Perey Robinson, custodian; lay-menbers, board of managers—Lon Fuller, George Jackson and Himkin Smith. Irving Williams, famillarly known and "Kid Sneeze," has been three successive times elected to the office of president. The "Kid" is a bano phlebotomist and individually has a large circle of patrons who regularly call for his services. His election this year proves conclusively that the members of the Clet Club are amply satisfied with their administration. And when the fact is considered that the governing board of the "Apex," which is the controlling and business factor of the Chel Club, is this year composed of the same men as the Chel Club's board of directors, this fact can be further cited as evidence of the confidence and dominance of "Kid Sneezer" in the organization. Jim Hunt, the old campaigner, for some reason seems to have lost his grip on the members of the organization. Since the exit of Deacon Johnson, and during the Deacon's regime also, the Jim Jensen has come office in the club. But at this election, Jim nominated for the board of directors, failed to qualify, as did Vic Joeven and Tom Fletcher. Mr. Hunt's margin of defeat was small but telling. *At that, Jim did well.* Any time 73 persons vote, and 31 vote for a candidate it proves that Jim had others thinking his way. Jim has been chairman of the house committee for seven or eight years. This is an appointive position and rumor persists that Jim will not fill the position the ensuing term. A little more than fifty per cent of the members voted. at the election. By ratio this indicated more interest than was shown at the N. A. M. A. election. Ed Campbell and his band, mentioned in this column recently as having automated *exemplified themselves from the Union by accepting and the weeks engagement of the Lafayette Theatre, trad their case tried on Tuesday, December 11 by the Federation. Campbell argued that he inferred Sam Manning was acting as agent for Mr. Schiffman, manager of the theatre. Admitted that he had not known that Sam was on the "unfair" list of the local, not having read the Journal, etc. But Ed's pleadings were in vain, as he and his men were fined $25 each and reinstated to membership. Campbell and his men are considered lucky to get off with so light a fine and hereafter they will surely investigate a contractor, and verify his standing with the Union before accepting an engagement. John C. Smith was haled to the trial board of Local 802 by Nepton, bass player. Nepton claimed John accepted him as a substitute on two engagements, one of which he played, and John cancelled the other. At the trial, Nepton stated he played one job, at the closing of which John accused him of "packing up" his tuba too soon. Nepton apologized, and it was past XMAS MUSIC Prof. RUDOLPH GRANT, Director Will Present In Latin Salem Quartet and Choir CHARLES GOUNOD'S Messe Solennelle St. Cecilia Sunday, December 23 7:30 p. m.

The board decided against John, so Nepton will receive $10 for a job he did not play, and John is $10 out of pocket. Nepton denies any animosity in the matter, but did not like the treatment accorded to him by John on the phone.

C.—An audience of more than 300 greeted the Sedalia singers in their concert at the First Presbyterian Church, white. The singing of the Negro spirituals showed fine training and the numbers presented by the boys' glee club and quartet brought repeated calls for encores. A little girl, Carrie Brice, gave an intertentate moment of "A Day at Sedalia." The singing of "Good night, Good night Beloved," by the girls' quartet was also much appreciated. Gertrude McBrown's readings drew the commendation, of those present. The program reached its height in the singing of Amy Bailey, soprano. She sang a number of selections including "Don Foum" and "My Lost Sheep." Rudolph Gaston Scott, young tenor, -gave a good interpretation of two numbers. Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, principal, of Palmer Memorial Institute, in an appealing address, told of the needs of the institution at Sedalia and the work that it is doing in the educational field. The Hallelujah Chorus, which closed the program brought the audience to its feet and it applauded again and again. Mrs. Bagley Lectures At Brooklyn Church Mrs. Caroline Beagley gave a travelogue at Bridge Street A. M. E.

HAS MADE GREAT STRIDES IN 4 YEARS The Antelope is one of the swiftest moving animals of the forest. The instinct of this animal is to never go at a slow pace. The pursuit of his enemies only tend to keep him-moving. The order of Antelopes of America, Inc. has made the same great strides toward progress during the past four years. The latter part of the year, 1924, the idea of this order was born in the mind of Mrs. Bello Phillips. As a result, a group of fourteen men and women were called together for the purpose of organizing a benevolent society, later named the Antelopes. At this time a temporary organization was formed, with John W. Smith, chalman. The officers were/Mrs. Mary F. Harris, Rosa P. Peyton, Annie Boyd, Edna L. Haynes, Pennie Woodruff, Lillian Pratis, Rosa L. Blocker, Bettie E. DeToscano, Miss Celeste Winston, Messrs Samuel Bright, John W. Smith, Jessie D. Phillips and Norman Sterrett. January 5, 1925, the order was duly chartered in the state of New York as a benevolent and fraternal organization. The above members were then made a permanent board of officers to govern the affairs of the order. The two outstanding Shelters in New York City are the Nora F. Taylor and Live Oak. The membership of these two shelters has increased in leaps and bounds during the period of the organization. The number of members reacts upward into thousands. The Ashepops have outgrown the State of New York and extended its activities to several other states, where it is doing equally as well. This order has proved an asset to the communities in which it has been established. It has brought cheer to sick members and aid to bereaved families. The executive board is composed of fourteen men and women who have had years of experience in benvolent and fraternal work and have made many sacrifices for benefit of the Order. New members added to the board are Mrs. Iola Upperman and Harry J. Edwards. Mrs. Mary F. Harris, one of the original members and faithful workers of the order died one year after the beginning of the order. The executive, officers are: John W. Smith, president; Mrs. B. E. DeToseano, vice-president; Jessie D. Phillips, financial secretary; Mrs. Rosa P. Peyton, treasurer; Mrs. Rosa L. Blocker, recording secretary; Mrs. Belle Phillips, national organizer; Mrs. Lillian L. Pratis, organizing deputy; Trustees; Mrs. Pennie Woodruff, Anna Boyd, and Iola Upperman; Auditors; Mrs. Celeste Winston and Harry J. Edwards; Samuel L. Bright, deputy; Mrs. Edna L. Harper, chaplain. Great credit for progress and development of the Grand United Order of Antelopes of America, Inc., is due Counselor John William Smith, former member of the Board of Aldermen, New York City, who has labored day and night to perpetuate and advance interests of the Order. He has been signally successful in administering affairs of the national body through his work as president of the executive board. TOYS This is the time 'or' the year when the thoughtful parent is lost in wonder as to the selection of Christmas toys for Johnny or Jane. Much care and thought should be given to this. Babyflood (0-6) also called "early childhood" and the "preschool period," calls for toys which will assist the child in physical and sense development. Babies enjoy building with blocks, digging in the sand, wading in shallow water, and playing with swings, teeters, slides, etc. The baby also enjoys a large ball, soft animals, rattle of bone or celluloid, beads to bite, and floating toys for the bath tub. When the baby is two or three years old they have an irritible impulse to imitate. They, prance like horses, sway like the trees, make a noise like various animals they know. They like to imitate mother in the use of the carpet sweeper, rolling the doll in a carriage, setting the doll's table, dressing and undressing the doll and giving it much the same treatment as it is given by its own mother. The little boy of this age learns to drive nails. Give him soft wood in which to drive nails. Children of this age should have a chair eight inches high. Children from three to six years of age are still more keen in the imitation of adult activities. Jane likes to take her own little dust mop and follow mother around the room. Dr. Boutele was not in the car with Mrs. Boutte, and onply Alderman Moore was enroute to the Llicorish reception, The Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond, State of Virginia, has just handed down a decree of absolute divorce in favor of Evelyn Thomas Price of 341 Forrest street, Jersey City, formerly of New York City and against Alfred Douglas Price Jr. Permanent custody of the child, Ella Georgia, five years of age, has been awarded to the mother. Zonite For Cuts and Wounds Prevent infection! Treat every cut, wound or scratch with this powerful non-polsonous anti-septic. Zonite actually kills germs. Helps to heal, too. FRATERNAL NEWS OF GREATER NEW YORK BIES" SMITH wash and iron and sweep and "keep house" too. Johnny is fascinated with iron trucks, iron fire engines, horse and wagon, trains, construction sets, etc. At this age for dramatic play a costume play suit is very acceptable also toy villages, and drums. Then there are the games which instill ideas of good sportsmanship. Ten pins, puzzles, tiddledywinks, ringtoes, bean bag throw, are suitable. Later childhood (6-12) extends the interests and activities with great strides toward better coordination and control. It is an age of individualism and self-assertion, named by Joseph Lee, the "Big Injun" period. Self-assertion is so prominent a trait that a group of children, if left to themselves, will often spend their whole play period disputing over what they shall play. Most children at this age enjoy skating, ball bearing and ice skates. A foot ball is a precious toy to be held. Girls and boys find great interest in wax painting outfits, shoonhut bird houses to build; and games play a prominent part at this stage—dominoes, jig saw puzzle, magnetic fish pond, ringtoss, checkers, jack straws, etc. This is time to introduce a sewing machine to a little girl, a typewriter is also suggested. The Erector is a splendid gift for a boy of this age. Books are included as gifts in every period. The first book should be uneartable—that is, of linette, strong cardboard, or rag. The pictures are more important than the text. At this age it is more important for him to create his own story than to have the contents of a printed page read to him. "MOTHER GOOSE" should be a part of every child's library. Most educators agree on the elimination of the "harmful" fairy tale, with its emphasis on horror, pain, cruelty, trickery, or brutality. However, it is generally conceded that the finer type of fairy tale should be preserved. Early adolescence (12-15) also called the Junior High School period. This is the age of the development of special interests and aptitudes. To promote physical well-being we suggest the tobogan, skiis, basket ball and goals, baseball outfit, bicycle, football and football and outfit, volleyball, indoor baseball and bat, punching bag and boxing gloves. To develop scientific interest, we suggest chemistry outfits, movie machines, electric trains and motors, aeroplane construction sets, Erector, etc. This list of toys is intended merely as a suggestion. Let us caution you against buying the child too many playthings which tend to increase carelessness and destructiveness or inspire greed and extravagance. Avoid the "do nothing" toy, that is the toy which does it all, leaving little play for the child's own inventiveness. Fit the toy to the child. And finally, may I hereby wish all parents and children a MERRY, XMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! ST. JOHNS A new record was made for the order Saturday night at the Lafayette Hall, when a new Council consisting of about sixty members was set apart. The District Grand Master, Supreme Grand Lodge, Officers and the subordinate lodges of this district took part in the services. This council was begun less than two months ago when eleven persons responded to the call of Mrs. Mary Savage, Special Deputy Organizer of St. Johns. This council has been named Shiloh Council No. 33, Grand United Order of St. Johns, and is destined to be one of the leading groups of the order under the guardianship of Mrs. Savage, who also organized White Oak Lodge, No. 17, and Tuxedo Lodge, No. 9. Mrs. Helen Jones, district district, acted as instructress. After the initiation, the members and visitors were served a delicious collation by a committee.

Atlanta, Ga. SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES The Pullman Porters Benefit Association of America, the official sick and death relief organization of the Negro employees of the Pullman Company, whose payments in sick and death claims amounted to $178,141.16 during the past year, will go a step further this year in its relief program. It will play Santa Claus to each member of the association who has been ill for six months or more and is still on the sick list, according to a notice sent out under recent date from the headquarters of the association. The notice, which is signed by O. E. Robinson, grand secretary of the association, and attested by Perry Parker, J. W. Duncan and J. W. Botts of the Benefit Board, reads in part as follows: "At a meeting of the Board of Directors held November 26th, 1928, it was decided to give a special allowance in the amount of Thirty ($30.00) Dollars, to each member of the Association who has been ill six months or more and is still on the sick list. This was also confirmed by the Benefit Board at its meeting of December 6th, 1928." Reading the announcement in its entirety, there is nothing in its contents to give the impression that the directors desired the association to be looked upon as a Santa Claus, this being a term of the writer's own choosing. Nevertheless, it is patently obvious that these officers had the Yuleide spirit in mind when they voted this extra allowance to the members who have suffered prolong illness. Furthermore, this interpretation of their actions is somewhat borne out by mother excerpt in the notice, which says: "It is hoped that these checks will reach the sick members before Christmas." Whether or not, however, this is the correct interpretation of the directors' actions, the fact remains that they have done something which cannot help but add to the impression that is gaining prevalence among the thinking members of the association that this organization is destined to play an important gift in the economic life of the Negro employees of the Pullman service. Moreover, this act of remembering the members at this time of the year, despite the fact that he may have drawn all the payments to which he is entitled under the sick limitation clause, is a definite step towards true benevolence and fraternism. This gift of thirty dollars, although it may seem small to some, will mean much to the man who has been ill for six months or more. It will mean, perhaps, that he will not have to forgo the pleasure of giving his faithful wife the little present which he gives her every Christmas, Or, it may be the means by which he will buy the children their little Yuletide gifts. It may be that the old mother who has never failed to receive a remembrance from him on Christmas will not have to think that "her son, John, has forgotten her." Or, it may mean food, and that alone, on Christmas Day. It can be called plain Santa Chus, acting the Good Samaritan or any other descriptive term of benevolence, which is applicable to acts of this sort, but the main point here is that the board of directors of this organization has done something for which it should be commended; it has made a gift. While speaking of this organization, the account by Mr. Engle Roundtree, which appeared in this column last week of the annual meeting and the progress of the organization, comes to mind. Among other impressions, Mr. Rohndtree gave the opinion that, "every porter who has a son or brother, who is a porter in the service, should insist on his joining the association and help in its development." That is a strong suggestion, but he might have amplified it by suggesting that every porter in the service, who is a father should become a member. His connection might be of service some day to his son or daughter. The reason for that idea is this: It is obvious from its reports each year that this organization is a growing affair, and its expansion will of necessity require a larger clerical personnel to carry on the work. But this personnel will have to be composed of trained persons. We people are always ranting about opportunities for our children, but as a matter of fact there is only a small number of our young folk who are efficiently trained to do special clerical work. Persons have been heard to remark that the Pullman Company couldn't and wouldn't use the services of trained Negroes. Perhaps it wouldn't use them as superintendents, but those Negroes who enter the service with any sort of clerical training do not remain present. To bear this out, we might point to the official personnel of the P. P. B. A. Then, again, who knows what will happen in the Pullman service in the next ten years? Anyway, this organization of Negro employees is bound to expand as the years go by and the first tangible act in that direction has been made this year, even though it was nothing more perceptible than playing Santa Claus to its sick members.

Haywood died as he lived, so far as the porter fraternity was concerned. He was among this fraternity but never of it. The notice posted at Mott Haven Yards telling of his death and funeral services, which services were held at St. Philips Church, caused little response by those of the porter group. Perhaps, it was just as he would have desired it. It was not in his disposition to seek crowds. This is mentioned not with any intention to cast the least reflection on his memory, but merely to bring out the opinion that this was one man, if there ever was one, who should never have been a Pullman porter. The man's color was his tragedy. He was one of those persons, who, according to the American code of racial identity, was not a white person. Yet, in tint of hue it was as white as any white man that ever lived. The years he worked in the Pullman service, he served as porter, waiter and private car steward. Frequently when receiving passengers these patrons would address him as conductor, and when the mistake was discovered it was usually accompanied by a whimsical look, a look which much as said, "You a Negro." No one ever heard him make mention of the fact, but it was not difficult to see that these errors were embarrassing to him. Of course, he could easily, enough have gone into the service as a conductor without anyone ever knowing that he was anything else but a caesanian, and that is what many thought he should have done. But he came from the South, and most likely that old feeling that because he had one drop of Negro Blood in his veins he had to remain a Negro in his work, dominated him. To us, his life always seemed a little pathetic. The writer had known him for many years, and although the acquaintance was merely casual, the news of his death was an occasion for personal regret. His passing, however, is simply a reminder that the debt he paid is a debt which each and everyone of us must too pay some day. OUT OF TOWN CORRESPONDENCE Newburgh, N. Y. Newburgh, N.

Guaranteed Mortgage Certificates A Boon To The Investor A form of investment which has proven a boon to the investor is the guaranteed real estate mortgage, which is not only a lien against real estate, but its payment is guaranteed by a surety company. Such an investment is that offered by the Guarantee Equity Corporation of 342 Madison avenue. The corporation is offering readers of this paper the attractiveness of a 7 1-2 per cent investment which combines sound security with an income, paying interest semi-annually. Guaranteed mortgage certificates, as offered by the Guaranteed Equity Corporation, relieve the investor of care and worry and are the source of an income which is not subject to fluctuation in value nor affected by acquisition and change in market conditions. The certificates are fully secured by improved real estate and each and every mortgage is selected with the greatest care. The location of the mortgage is the face of each certificate, as are also the name of the owner, who is on the bond of the mortgage, the amount of the mortgage and the date when the mortgage falls due. On the due date, the mortgage is accepted payment or reinvest in another mortgage, without the loss of even a day's interest. Interest is at the rate of 7 1-2 per cent, consisting of 6 per cent paid by the mortgage and 10 per cent in the purchase of the mortgage. Interest accrues from date of issuance and is payable on the first day of March and September of each year. Certificates are issued to meet individual requirements in amounts as low as $1,000. The guarantor of payment of the principal and interest, as called for by the mortgage, is the Equitable Casualty and Surety Company, with resources over $3,800,000, and operating under the supervision, "of the York State Insurance Department." This combination of the guarantee of the Equitable Casualty and Surety Company, together with that of the real estate security, the bond of the owner and the resources of the Guaranteed Equity Corporation, makes guaranteed insurance invaluable investment providing an attractive income and every possible safeguard for the investor.
