FIFTEEN DRUNKEN SAILORS IN SUBWAY RIOT BRINGS PANIC TO THREE HUNDRED PASSENGERS Three of the Tars Corner Two Colored Riders, Beat Them Up, But Are Arrested by Victims On Friday morning, December 21, about 4:30 o'clock, 300 passengers on a Seventh avenue subway train leaving Chambers street for Brooklyn were thrown into a panic by the drunken rowdyism of fifteen white sailors from United States naval vessels of the Atlantic fleet now at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This was the third time in the past four months, and the third within two or three weeks, that a party of drunken white sailors had rioted up and down the cars of a subway train, and, as on the other two occasions, they took opportunity to vent their hatred, and prejudice against Negro passengers. Three Sailors Arrested. They did not have the unopposed tolerance, as on the other occasions, however, and although two Negro men were severely beaten by three of the sailors, who fled from the train at the Nostrand avenue station, the injured men followed their, assailants, accompanied by Policeman Edward Sullivan, and succeeded in apprehending them and hailing the men before Magistrate Dale in Flatbush Court. Immediately, the train had pulled out of the Chambers street station, the drunken and rowdy sailors began action. The 300 passengers were tired and drowsy, and many of them were actually asleep. The naval men, however, influenced by the speak-easy booch they had evidently been imbibing, were active and wildewake, and the fifteen men in the group ran from car to car, throwing paper pellets at the passengers, waking the sleepers, and kicking any feet that happened to come in their way. Two Colored Men - Beaten The passengers grumbled some, but onthing serious developed until three of the sailors, Lewis Vine, 26, and Julius Dangen, 29, both of the Battleship, Arkansas, and William Collins, 25, of the Richmond, centred their attention and attacks on the two colored men, Benjamin Reid, 33, of 240 Kingston avenue, and Cleveland Greenidge, 20 of 212 Thatford avenue. Reid objected to being pushed and kicked about and then the fight begun. Other passengers attempted to intervene but the riotous tars would not heed them. Two train guards tried to stop the sailors, but without avail. The passengers retreated into other cars to avoid being beaten up, and Reid and Greenidge were unable to overcome the odds against them. Both were severely beaten. As the train stopped at the Nostrand avenue station, passengers and guards sounded police whistles, and others rushed into telephone booths on the platform and sent in calls to the Atlantic avenue and Empire Boulevard stations for police help. Tara Hide In Hedge. The three sailors who had been beating Reid and Greenidge rushed out of the train and up the subway steps to the street, but their victims followed, and as the fleeing sailors jumped into the taxicab, their followers trailed them in another. The chase led to Kingston avenues and Eastern Parkway, where Patrolman Sullivan joined Reid and Greenidge. Then the sailors jumped out of the taxi, ran around the block, doubled on their tracks to Union street and Kingston avenue, where they hid in a hedge. Patrolman Sullivan began a systematic search of the shrubbery, and soon came upon the three huddled together. His nightstick soon brought them into submission and they were taken to INSP. MULROONEY PROMOTED TO HEAD DETECTIVE FORCE Former Captain at Harlem Precinct Holds Second Highest Ranking The promotion of Inspector Edward P. Mulrooney by Police Commissioner Grover Whalen last week was greeted with remarks of approval by many colored members of the Police Department and residents of Harlem. Inspector Mulrooney was promoted to the position of Deputy Chief Inspector and placed in charge of all the detective forces in the city, succeeding John D. Coughlin. This is the second highest position in the Department. It was only two years ago that Inspector Mulrooney was captain of the 16th Precinct Police Station, in the heart of Harlem, and here won the admiration of both the men under his supervision and the Harlem public for his ability as a policeman. Although a strict disciplinarian, Mulrooney was fair and had no favorites while head of the police in Harlem. Inspector Mulrooney was first appointed a policeman by the late Theodore Roosevelt, when he was Police Commissioner in 1896. The new head of the Detective Bureau was for a long time a detective and was several times commended for bravery in line of duty. He was promoted to sergeant in 1903 and his rise has been gradual since that time, becoming a lieutenant and a few years later and then a captain. He is married and lives at 740 Mott avenue, the Bronx. the Empire Boulevard station. Other policemen had responded to the call, and they rushed down the subway stairs to find other of the sailors battling with passengers in an effort to make a getaway. But again police clocks were brought into play, and it was but a short time before the rioters were vanquished. Dr. Michaels had to treat some of the men before they were taken to the station. In the meantime, Reid had been taken to the Kings County Hospital, where he was found to be suffering from internal injuries and bruises and cuts about the face and body, and he was kept in the hospital for treatment. Greenidge was taken to the Swedish Hospital and treated for bruises and cuts about his face and eyes, after which he was permitted to go home. Greenidge appeared in court later and filed a complaint against the three sailors. Magistrate Dale adjourned the hearing and field the men pending the arrival of Navy Yard authorities.

NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1928 PROMOTED BY WHALEN EDWARD P. MULROONEY Former Captain of Police at 135th Street Station, elevated to rank of Deputy Chief Inspector, in charge of all detectives. CARD OF THANKS Editor of The New York Age: I thank you for your courtesy in permitting me to express to my many friends and fellow citizens the deep gratitude that I have in my heart for the many expressions of sympathy and good-will which have come to me in recent bereavement and illness. These expressions have come from many sources, from pulpits, the press and fraternal organizations. From homes and streets, from children, young people and grownups. I appreciate to the highest this place, which has been given me in the hearts of the people of this community. I have learned anew the value of unselfish service for the good of others. I am this day redicating my life to this continued service. Aside from the accomplishment of a given task or the reaching of a desired goal, the Christian worker has rewards in character, fellowships and inner peace. I am thankful for the prayers, the cheering messages by cards personal letters, the fruit and beautiful flowers which have been sent to me in abundance. Victory often comes from seeming defeat, and trouble nobly borne gives us new fortitude and strength. I am coming from the shadows into the light, and from sorrow to gladness. The forecast is hopeful. The future is pregnant with much good. God still reigns. Again, I thank you, and wish for all a New Year full of health, peace and prosperity. J.

AS THE NEW YEAR OPENS The New York Age sends to each one of its Readers a heartfelt wish that Prosperity and Happiness may be their lot during 1929. Christmas Joy Dispensed From Many Sources In Harlem To Make Glad Homes and Hearts of Poor Kiddies The Christmas Season of 1928 is being marked, as have been previous seasons, by sympathetic thoughtfulness and generous providing on part of those of substance for the Yuletide needs of the needy, both adults and children. Various organizations, business firms and individuals have opened their hearts and pocketbooks and provided generously for the purpose of making this a happy and joyous time for those homes and families that would otherwise be filled with gloom and despair. The Age Gives 125 Dimmers. Long, before 1 o'clock, the hour set for beginning the distribution of baskets containing elements for making of Christmas dinner, the women, men and children holding tickets began assembling in front of The New York Age office, where 175 shopping bags had been provided for as many worthy and needy families. Mrs. Ida Mae Dudley, secretary-treasurer of The Age, was in charge of the distribution. sent a large supply of clothing, shoes and toys to the Virgin Islands, through the Virgin Islanders' Association of which he is president. Besides, Mr. Holstein distributed a generous supply of food, clothing, shoes, toys, etc., to about 600 of Harlem's poor. Another, Harlem organization, Medina Temple, No. 10, A. E. A. O. N. M. S. of which Detective Sergeant Samuel J Battle is now the head, held a Christmas tree celebration and theatre party for several hundred children at P. S. B and the Lincoln Theatre on Tuesday, Christmas Day, at 1 p.m., distributing toys to all the children. The Prince Hall Square Club Inc., a masonic organization com- Turnips, potatoes, onions, rice, coffee, sugar, corn, tomatoes, cooking and eating apples, oranges, bread, jelly and a plump roasting chicken—in some instances, depending on size of the family, there were two chickens—were in the capacious bags, and in addition, there were several boxes of toys which had been provided by the Red Cross for the children. Perhaps the largest distribution of Christmas joy was that made by the Silver Furniture Co. S25 Lenox avenue, where the line of beneficiaries extended for several blocks. Baskets containing sufficient food for an ample dinner to serve five people were given to some 1,275 families, and the distribution occupied practically all of the afternoon of Monday, December 24, from 2 p. m. on. Salvation Army Frede 600 From the Salvation Army Harlem headquarters, 48 West 135th street, Corps 8 handled the distribution of about 600 baskets, while from the 369th Regiment Armory, 143rd street, near Lenox avenue, the Citizens Christmas Cheer Committee, Mrs Mayme L. Briggs, chairman, assisted by her splendid corps of wmen, handed out 340 baskets. Approximately 200 baskets were distributed to Harlem families by the New York American from the 104th Field Artillery, 68th street and Broadway. At the Walker Studio, 108 West 136th street, under the supervision of Mrs. Roberta C. Ole, manager, a glittering Christmas tree has been erected, and 75 Christmas baskets were given out. From the Ethel Bald Beauty Parlor, 138th street and Seventh avenue, 52 baskets were handed out. In all of these cases, the baskets contained a liberal supply of all the things necessary for a toothsome, Christmas dinner—chicken, potatoes, coffee, tea, sugar, canned milk, apples, oranges, candy and other sorts of vegetables and fruits, thus providing for families that otherwise would have been deprived of anything save the most ordinary everyday fare, and that in the scantiest quantity. To The Virgin Islands. Casper Holstein, of the Turf Club. 111 West 136th street, has sent a large supply of clothing, shoes and toys to the Virgin Islands, through the Virgin Islanders' Association of which he is president. Besides, Mr. Holstein distributed a generous supply of food, clothing, shoes, toys, etc., to about 600 of Harlem's poor. Another: Harlem organization, Medina Temple, No. 10, A. E. A. Q. N. M. S., of which Detective Serggeant Samuel J Battle is now the head, held a Christmas tree celebration and theatre party for several hundred children at P. S. S and the Lincoln Theatre on Tuesday, Christmas Day, at 1 p. m., distributing toys to all the children. The Prince Hall Square Club, Inc., a masonic organization composed of national, state and city employees, gave a Christmas tree to 125 children from 2 to 12 years in its club rooms, 2370 Seventh avenue, Tuesday, Christmas Day, from 2 to 6 p. m., distributing toys and serving fruit, candy, cake and ice cream. Providing For Shut-Ina Providing For Shut-Ins. One of the interesting incidents of the Christmas season was the providing of some measure of joy for the shut-in sick children at Harlem Hospital. Through the generosity of Watt Terry, realtor; Edward Smalls, proprietor of the Paradise Club; the Bloomstein Department Store, and others, a lot of toys and good things to eat were provided for these kiddies and turned over to them through the Social Service Bureau, Miss Betts, superintendent. Another contribution to the shut-ins was brought down on Monday by Mrs. Ruth Moseley of Mt. Kisco, N. Y., a music teacher, whose pupils, anxious to do something for the sick children, had contributed a large hamper of books and toys. And then on Wednesday afternoon, December 26, the fine orchestra from Mr. Small's Paradise went over in a body and played a long program of the popular hits of today. The inmates of the Katy Ferguson Home for Unmarried Mothers were not forgotten. Watt Terry, Edward Smalls, Mrs. L. M. Bloomstein, Manager Frank Schiffman of the Lafayette Theatre and others made contributions for the providing of one of the finest Christmas dinners ever served in the Home. In addition, there were gifts of all sorts for the unfortunate young girls. BISHOP M. H. DAVIS WILL VISIT EMANUEL CHURCH Rt. Rev. M. H. Davis, bishop of West Africa, and the Kentucky area of the A. M. E. Church, will preach at the morning service Sunday, December 30, at Emanuel A. M. E. Church. Bishop Davis, accompanied by Bishop Davis, accompanied by Mrs. Davis, will sail for West Africa, January 4th, 1929, as this will be his last message in New York before leaving. It is hoped that a large crowd will greet him. GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY Distinguished, Philanthropist and Friend to Negro, is in satisfactory condition after operation at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. GEO. F. PEABODY, PHILANTHROPIST, IS OPERATED ON Good Friend To Negro Is In Johns Hopkins Hos- pital, Baltimore Baltimore, Md.—George Foster Peabody of New York City and Saratoga Springs, N. Y., was oper- ated on at John Hopkins Hos- pital, this city, oh December 24, and his condition is reported by the surgeons as being "highly sat- satisfactory." Mr. Peabody, a native of Georgia, is a philanthropist who has shown a keen and vital interest in progress and development of the Negro. He has given thousands of dollars toward Negro education and the work of the colored Y. M. C. A. Besides, he has aided scores of worthy individuals to secure training in various lines of useful artistic endeavor. The first modern Y. M. C. A. building for Negro boys and men was erected by him in his native city, Columbus, Ga., some twenty-five or more years ago, as a memorial, and he has provided for its maintenance. Mr. Peabody was formerly treasurer of the National Democratic Committee. CASPER HOLSTEIN KIDNAPPER IS HELD IN $100,000 Michael Bernstein, Who Was Held As Ringleader, Surrenders To Police Michael Bernstein, 32, of 1182 Lebanan avenue, alleged leader of the band that kidnapped Gasper Holstein, prominent Harlem fraternal and business man, in September, surrendered to police authorities on Thursday, December 20, after being listed among those missing from the city since October 1 when he forfeited his bail of $10,000 by non-appearance when the case was called for trial. At that time his wife appeared in court and said that her husband had been kidnapped by four men after coming from his bank where he is said to have drawn a large sum of money. Held In $100,000 Bail Arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate Weil on Friday, Bernstein was held in $100,000 bail by the Judge, who said that he did not believe the story told by Bernstein that he was kidnapped. Bernstein, after surrendering to Lieutenant Shields and Sergeant Battles of the detective division of the West 135th street police station, was taken before District Attorney Blanton for questioning and then up to court. The caso was heft for action of the grand jury. NEGRO DAMNED BY LEADERS SINCE SLAVERY DAYS, SAYS PROF. DAVIS OF HAMPTON But Danger Now, He Asserts, Is In 'Upper Class' Developed In Last 20 Years Which Scorns Masses Allison Davis, a professor at Hampton Institute, graduate of Williams College, Williamstown, Mass. and a graduate student of Harvard, has written an article which appears in the January number of "Plain Talk," in which he declares that "The Negro has been a race damned in its leaders since the day when the overseer demoralized any group loyalty by giving his favor to the treacherous." Prof. Davis declares that "A whole people, however, can scarcely be made or broken by its self-styled leaders. We have come on in spite of them. The real danger now is not from these dull, full-punched sellers-out of their own blood, but from the ideals set up by the upper class which has developed in the last twenty years." surance of financial success can lure our physicians from the farmlands to the service of the millions of Negroes in the South who are without hospital or medical service. In the most progressive Southern State, North Carolina, eighty per cent of Negro children are today delivered by midwives. Then he continues: Draining the Massa. "Briefly, the aims of this class are to exploit and drain the masses for all they are, worth, to draw apart from them physically and socially, to build a lightskinned world of its own and to ape the white world in luxury and amusement. This class will cry hush upon such an article as this, because it plays into the hands of the whites by disparaging the cultured and intelligent Negro. Any honest and progressive criticism, however, must recognize, first, the danger of our unproductive upper class. It is of no importance whether the worth of its members is discredited before white people or not; they are of no value to the masses and the best interests of the race demand that they be refashioned or cast off." Prof. Davis speaks particularly of "the mass of lawyers, doctors, school teachers, real estate sharper, business men and society women whose contribution is limited to fur coats, Packards, armchair solutions of the race problem, football classics and fraternity dances. I am saying that in just half a century they have forgotten the tragedy of the Negro in the South, and that the ideals they have set up for Negro youth are the most pernicious influence in our life today. The Chief Offenders. "Let us analyze this upper class in some detail," he continues. "Our school and college administrators and our fraternal heads are the chief offenders in the South. Negro college presidents, with a few notable exceptions, would be jokes, if they were not exerting so harmful an influence upon our younger generation. One class of such presidents run colleges as a good business proposition to fill the members' own pockets. They are perpetrating an intellectual crime upon eager Negro students. The second group are the heads of land-grant 'colleges.' They are, almost without exception, ignoramuses or clever politicians who take their instructions from the white state officials. One of the great tragic ironies of Negro life is the spectacle of a hopeful and energetic youth in the hands of these 'educators.' Of the fraternals there is no need to speak. They are the great shell-game of the South, as stupendous a moneymaking hoax as the Klan. Doctors Neglect South. "For our doctors, medicine is the shortest and surest route to money and social position. Our young physicians get their start by prescribing dope and nostrums for the slum Negroes, taking their money with no serious effort to help them. The free clinics and wards of our hospitals are butcher shops, where frankly cynical young doctors nurse their contempt for the poor and diseased blocks. Not even the as- surance of financial success to lure our physicians from the farmlands to the service of the millions of Negroes in the South who are without hospital or medical service. In the most progressive Southern State, North Carolina, eighty-four per cent of Negro children are today delivered by midwives. "The slogan of the average Negro lawyer is, 'Get all they have! He lives on the ignorance of the common Negro, frightening him by the bugaboo of the law into paying out his last cent. The largest share of his spoils comes from the settlement of estates. Since Negroes, especially of the poor and rural classes, are likely to make no wills, the fear of the Negro lawyer as an executor is proverbial throughout the South. "The Negro real estate operation in connivance with his white employer, has succeeded in making Negroes pay the highest prices for the least desirable property, thereby forcing their living wage still further down. He is the most unabashed of all those who exploit the Negro. He has done nothing to improve the Negro's credit and everything to betray him to the white sharper. In the rural districts he is frankly a buccaneer and in the popular fancy, an ogre. It is added proof of the perseverance of the Negro that he has obtained a home in spite of his real estate agent. The caption to the article by Prof. Davis is "The Negro Deserts His People," and he elaborates upon this charge in the following manner: Negro Tragedy A Nightmare. Upper-class Negroes in general, Northern Negroes in particular, close their minds to the tragedy of the common Negro in the South in the past and today. To them it is a nightmare. In the North, they take pride in their unfamiliarity with the Southern Negro and his degradation. 'Oh, no, I have never been South—the conditions of travel, and so forth, you know,' says the lawyer whose relatives in South Carolina must ride in a truncated baggage car or walk. Not to have been born in the South, or lived there, is sufficient in New England to elect one to the first families. I have often wondered what a Philadelphia or Washington first family would do if, at the height of their social, display, the grandmother from Alabama, with her mandanna and pipe, should appear—especially if she were black! Black Ia Anathema. For to this upper class, black skin is anathema and white, the summum bonum. The Negro's faith, in the mystic superiority of a light skin would be a delightful bit of irony, if it were not farcically stupid and insane. We are color-mad duped by a phantasm conjured up by egomaniac whites. Our complete acceptance of the white man's pathological admiration of his skin color entirely unfits us to believe in our own married and equality. Black and white, white and black—we are slaves to a myth. Our up-per class has set up more social inequalities based upon shades of Gentlemen—Please forward me full information how I can share in profits of Superior Art Productions. the most ingenious man could devise. All this unbishness is perfectly obvious to teach the black upper class and to the common people. Anyone can learn their feeling toward this Negro inner circle for the asking. The masses will never put their faith or energy behind an upper class that has run from them as from the black plague. Divided Racial Alliance. Our multato upper class suffers from the sense of divided racial allegiance, typical of all half-bloods. Of course, the bulk of this class would long ago have allied itself with any race other than the Negro. If Amerika had not so universally hemmed abut and taboned all those who, by color, environment, education or other telltale marks, could be identified with the sons of slaves and cavalier gentlemen. Until this group can escape the mass of Negroes altogether, it appears willing to allow its abilities to remain inactive and frustrated, except for the narrow range of the professions I have mentioned. It is self-condemned to 'a sterile and purposeless lot like those wretches in the Inferno, who cravenly the Great Refusal made and 'lived void of honor and of infamy.' There are only two roads of escape from this sphere of the unreal: First, creative scholarship, art or business—a contribution of the Negro's host to American civilization; second, the training and directing of the masses through education, social service, agricultural and industrial guidance, and the encouragement of a positivistic, rather than a religiously, fatalistic, attitude toward their situation Matter of Moral Courage. "It is all very well to grow indignant and eloquent in the relative safety of Washington and New York, but it is a matter of moral and physical courage to live an energetic and self-respecting life in Virginia or Mississippi or Florida or Georgia or anywhere in that area where ten million Negroes must live. Courage is, then, the real need of the Negro. Now the force of example is one of the experimental facts of human nature. If, then, we had leaders who saw our upper class an example of courageous and honest living in the South, that class would have a model for high imitation. If, in turn, our upper class, living in the South, brought that example of courage and self respect to the Southern mayas, our situation would not long appear a hopeless muddle. Nothing is so clarifying as consistent and purposeful action. If the Negro needs courage, he ought to set about, from the top down, to face his battle in the South courageously, and not run away from it. A Wrong Method Write a propaganda for free pride during the last ten years, the re Industrial Report By Urban League Shows Increased Opportunities In Labor In Many Cities For Negroes Negro Waiters Placed In New Hotels And Are Replacing Whites In Others; New Jobs Are Opened For Men and Women In St. Louis According to a recent bulletin of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League there is no foundation for the report that a concentrated effort has been launched to replace Negro This is proved by the fact that several new hostelries have opened with colored waiters, and the further fact that other hotels have discharged their white waiters, and are using, Negroes in their stead. These practices are being followed at 'Marshaltown, Ia., San Antonio and 'Omaha, in hotels that opened during the past month or two, and at the Elk's Temple in Temple 'In Jackson, Mich. Replacements of white waiters by colored were reported in Louisville and Omaha; Put Girls On Elevator. In jobs of similar character such as the running of elevators in office buildings, theaters and department stores, the use of colored girls in life of white and colored men is being resorted to. The cities providing this information are Brooklyn, Cincinnati, (where girls are being used as file clerks in a department store), Louisville, Newark and Austin, Tex. There are instances of improve- cent movement for the popularizing of Negro history and similar efforts to bolster the Negro's assertiveness are like attempting to cure a wound from the top. The Negro has been breed for centuries to fear the white man's power and hatred. He must now see in action Negroes who do not fear the white man and who are successful without sycophancy. It is almost irrelevant to preach race pride and equal rights from the center of New York or on flying trips to Southern city. It is irrelevant now to preach race equality anywhere. The Negro masses want to see the upper class live in the South Otherwise, they know that the upper class is as afraid of the white man as they are, the more so because it has more to lose. A. Contemptible - Betrayal. The most discouraging aspect of this bourgeoisie, then, is its loss of courage, its readiness to sell the racial heritage for a private mess of potage at any time. Of course, for most upper-class Negroes this selling-out to the white man is not so melodramatic as the bare state ment sound¹. In practice, it usually means only that these Negroes are constantly on the alert for favors, from the white world and that they have no scruple of race loyalty to prevent acceptance of such sops.² The inside story of the rise of our Negro leaders is a contemptible betrayal of the best interests of their race, an endless buying of their security by catering to influential whites. Negroes rightly suspect the lead er whose position has brought him affluence, rather than hard sacrifice, and they justly repudiate the leader who is in the good graces of the mass of whites. The leader of genuine vision and purpose will, of course, need to consult the best spirit among white men, but he cannot win the favor and public opinion of the white masses. North or South, if he is to retain any courage and vision ment in other directions. A Negro youth was promoted from porter to mailer in large barrier shop in Chicago and given special training to do other duties connected with the business. In Brooklyn Theatre. A colored woman has recently been appointed manager of a Sinclair Oil Station in Buffalo. The opening of a theater in Brooklyn provided employment for a few Negroes, and the clothing industry offered women with knowledge of operating and finishing plenty of work in the motion picture industry seems to indicate that the Negro will be an important factor in this industry for the next few months, also that Negroes are replacing Mexican labor in construction work as laborers and helpers. New Jobs In St. Louis St. Louis made enviable progress in new positions for Negroes in November for three Negro attendants were placed in filling stations, one Negro girl placed as clerk in local store, and another in a pottery establishment as a molder. Also two youth were placed in semi-clerical jobs in a garment factory where no Negroes were formerly employed and one youth was employed in shipping department of large electric establishment at an initial salary of $35 per week with opportunities for advancement. On the other hand, Negro girls are losing out in a few of the nut, date and leather factories. In Lansing, Columbus, Louisville, Springfield, Ill., and Richmond, Va., the building trades and street repair occupations are using large numbers of Negro men. Baltimore reports that the Mayor's Unemployment Commission is recommending a plan for a permanent commission to continue the study of unemployment. A commission has already recommended proportionate amount of work to be allowed to Negroes in time of depression. In Newark emphasis is being put upon Negroes joining the unions. Many skilled and semi-skilled workers are finding their way into unions. The local Elevator Operators Union is still fighting the case for the 20 colored elevator operators at Snellensburg's in Philadelphia. The latest report indicates that the white Women now running elevators will be replaced by white men. There is a movement of workers into Los Angeles, Baltimore, New York and Chicago. Detroit reports a movement away from the city. FILL US NOW I Knew I Forgot to— Order Coal 4458 4467 Harlem 4459 DOBBINS COAL CO., INC. 138th St. at Madison Ave. We Borrow the Right Work!

The grant was made for buildings and its endowment, and the division for the two purposes will be in about equal proportions. The most unusual feature of the gift, is that it is made outright with no requirement that Fisk raise an equivalent sum. The library is designed by Henry C. Hibbs, Nashville architect. It will be of modified collegiate gothic architecture, done in red face brick with Indiana limestone trim. The layout of the structure includes practically every modern convenience known to library construction, for only after consultation with fifteen of the leading librarians of the country were the plans finally adopted. The gothic tower will be not only a thing of beauty but of practical design. All of the book stacks will be in the tower and will be delivered to the main loan desk on the first-floor by spiral chutes. There will also be a number of carrells in the tower, small cubicles for secluded study. Negro Collection Room The library will be one hundred feet long and will have an entrance on two levels. The lower entrance will lead to a basement containing a receiving room, repair room, book vaults, toilets and reserve book stacks. The first story will contain library offices, a large reserved book reading room, reference rooms, coat rooms, the library catalogues and a modern catalogue room. One of the most attractive features of the building will be the Negro collection room on the second floor. Sections for all branches of Negro art will be provided. There will also be a music room and sewninars for students and faculty doing advanced work, necessitating close contact with a large number of books. The library will face east on the part of the campus that forms a quadrangle and will be the first of the buildings in the proposed new academic group. The credit for the securing of this gift should go to the president, Thomas Elsa Jones, who has crystallized the interest of the General Education Board in Fisk. Nashville. Tenn.—Mrs. R. H. Beyd, wife of the late Dr. R. H. Boyd, died in this city at 4:50 o'clock. Sunday afternoon at her residence, 1602 Heiman street, following her husband, who died in 1922. Her exact age was not certain, because she was born in the days of slavery when no records of birth were kept. It was known that she was a native of Florida, having been born, to the best of her recollections, from what her parents told her, in Clearwater. She was taken Arom Florida to Texas, where she grew up, and was married to Richard Henry Boyd in Grimes County, Texas. She is survived by five children, Mrs. Thomas E., Hall of Galveston, Texas; Mrs. M. B. Johnson, Henry Allen Boyd and Mrs. L. Landera Nashville; and Theophilus B. Boyd of Kansas City, Mo. The funeral was held from the Mt. Olive Baptist Church at two o'clock Wednesday, December 19. The cause of her death was a cerebral hemorrhage. She was sitting in a chair, talking to two of her children; Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Lunders, when the attack came. Dr. J.

New Trades Hall Dedicated At National Training School For Women and Girls at Washington Mrs. Mary McLeod Bthorne, Dr. J. C. Jackson and S. W. Rutherford Among The Speakers Washington, D. C.-Before, a crowd of more than 1000 people, who filled the corridors and nearby rooms, the new Trades Hall of the National Training School for Women and Girls was dedicated on last Sunday, at 3 p. m., at Lincoln Heights, D. C. The building is a terra cotta, fireproof brick structure with spacious bills, twelve classroom rooms, three offices, one reception room, and a printery. It was erected at a cost of $39,000. Declaring, that the building was nothing in itself, but that it stood for the ideals and hopes of young Negro womanhood, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, President, and Founder of the National Training School presented the keys of the new building to Mrs. Emma H. Roberts, who accepted them in behalf of the trustee board, of which she is a member. The dedicatory address was made by Dr. J. C. Jackson, President of the New England Baptist Convention. Dr. Jackson regretted his inability to give what he considered his share of monetary help, but pledged his support of the school in every possible way. He also eulogized the founder who has succeeded in bringing together all classes to work for the idea of service to all. Other speakers included Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, President of Daytona-Cookman College, and formerly President of the National Association of Colored Women, and Mr. S. W. Rutherford, Secretary of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, both of whom may earnest appeals for the financial support of the National Training School for Women and Girls. Mr. Allen B. Doggett of Hampton Institute, and Mr. William Harris, of the Morning Star Lodge. I. B. P. O. W.; brought greetings. Howard Debates Harvard Washington, D.

The term "refunding" means that another mortgage lies ahead of it. As this mortgage is retired the first and refunding bonds replace it, and eventually become first mortgage bonds. Debenture Bonds Unsecured bonds. The safety of this type, of investment lies in the corporation's earning power and not in any specified property value or mortgage. Debentures rank ahead of preferred and common stocks. They are a common means of financing for non-operating or "holding" companies. Collateral Trust Bonds and Notes Secured by deposit with a trustee of "collateral" in the form of other securities. The collateral may be bonds of any type, preferred or common stocks. This, type of bond is often used by a parent company to finance subsidiary companies whose credit may not be as good as its own. Thus, the parent company issues bonds in its own name using the securities of the subsidiaries as collateral for the loan. Gold Bonds are those which at maturity are payable in gold coin; requested.

Must bonds pay their interest by means of compass which are attached in a slant. These are removed or "hippled" twice a year and are payable in the bank to the holder of the compass. Registered Bonds, are those which are registered in the name of an individual and the interpr and principal are payable only to the one in whose name the bond is issued. An unregistered bond is like cash, and is therefore the most negotiable—that is, more easily取胜 or jointable. Interest on registered bonds is paid by check of the issuing corporation. Maturity date. Bonds are issued for a definite number of years, at the end of which time the loan is payable by the corporation to the bond holder. For example, a $1,000 5% bond "due" January 1, 1899 means that on that date $1,000 the principal sum, must be paid to all bond holders. There are "short term and long term" bonds. A bond maturing in 1899, or higher would be considered a short term issue. A long term bond might mature as far ahead as 2013. Answers To Inquiries I have $600 saved up.

Santa To Three Children. SAI made Christmas for three children and their hard-working mother. A small Christmas tree, numerous gifts, the holly decorations from the school room, were all gloriously taken along to make bright the new home into which the family had just moved. So abundant was their giving that two other families shared in the results of the generosity of SAI. It as hard to tell who received the greatest happiness, those who received or those who gave. Little Willie's Christmas. Al made Christmas for Willie, the little boy they have cared for since October. A stocking much larger than Willie was crammed to bursting with so many things a motherless boy might need. Like all good mothers Al watched care- fully that the stocking would not be filled with toys only. A new tooth brush and paste, heavy under- wear, new stockings, warm gloves, all crowded the toys to make Willie feel happy, and to know that Christmas means Love. Jimmy and Joan Cared For. 6B3 played Santa for Jimmy and Joan, whose widowed mother finds the struggle to support them pretty hard. Outgrown clothing was cleaned and pressed until it looked like new; stockings and underwear, purchased with the pennies saved by the girls themselves; simple little toys to make children glad were gathered and best of all, the mother was genetically remembered. Jimy's question, "Will Santa Claus forget to come, because our daddy died?" was answered by the loving hearts of these girls and their splendid teachers. Santa will come to Jimmy and Joan, and his sack will not be empty. Lightening Daddy's Load. 6Al recognizing how hard it must be to stretch $25 a week to provide for a man, his wife and five small children, selected the K's for their especial care. That industrious father will not have to provide shoes for 3 of his children just yet; nor school dresses for the two older ones. And toys for all found their way home Friday afternoon, sent by the girls of 6Al. The cooperation of the parents in this work of kindness, brings home very forcibly that old saying, "The whole world is kin." THE ALLEN HOUSE 11¾ West 135th Street For the comfort of the public.

My class has helped the unfortunate in the following ways: By giving their old clothes that they have outgrown, by contributing money to buy things for the unfortunate, and by giving toys. By my class and other classes contributing money, clothes and toys, we help the unfortunate in the most possible way any group of children could. I think that every child should contribute something to help the unfortunate. N. Y. U. Official At Howard University Washington. D. C.—Dean A.

Survey of Negro Business, Covering 3,000 Enterprises In 32 Cities and Fifteen States Shows Hopeful Signs Problem Include Adequate Financing, Surplus Fund Investment, Advertising, New Fields, Perpetuation of Business, Special Training Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—That service, price and quality overcome the obstacles of color in business is the conclusion of the investigators who conducted the survey of Negro business after having examined more than 3000 businesses in thirty-two cities of fifteen states during the past eight months. The preliminary report was made to Dr Robert S. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, under whose auspices the survey was conducted. "Many of our business men too often combine themselves only to the Negro market—a field necessarily limited by the wealth and buying power of the group served." The report reads Compete In Open Market. Cases are cited where Negroes have been able to compete in the open market against all contests. These furnish ample evidence that given a thorough knowledge of their business with fair capital, Negroes can successfully compete in HELLO EVERYBODY STARR HAWLEY Announcing STATION V. T. R.

This presents the most faithful field for further exploration. Negro business enterprises the report feels are still predominantly individual enterprises. Especially is this true in the retail field. Two few partnerships exist and not enough corporations. There, too, however, many hopeful signs of cooperative efforts as indicated in the advancement of the insurance and industrial fields. Cooperative Buying Needed. There is a denim need for development of cooperative buying among Negro grocers and druggers. The individual operator, with limited capitalization, stock, credit and equipment, is facing a crisis because of chain and cut-rate store competition. This is generated through the retail field, and is guaranteed by Negro stores.

On the other hand, there are outstanding examples of splendid and profitable retail stores operated by individuals. Problems confronting Negro business men as stated by the investigators—Gordon Simpson, Wendell Bolton, Bert M. Roddy and J. H. Harmon—include the following: . Problems To Be Mot. 1. More adequate financing and credit facilities for legitimate enterprises. 2. More direct and profitable investment of surplus funds of Negro fraternal organizations to the benefit of the race. 3. Elimination of overcrowding of certain fields with small, undercapitalized, poorly managed individual businesses. 4. Appreciation of the value of advertising 5. Developments of new fields of business. n. The perpetuation of older businesses from one generation to the next Too many die with the passing of the founders. 7. Specialized training of larger numbers to meet the growing demands of business organizations. What Survey Has Shown. "The survey has definitely shown the need for the continued intensive program of the National Negro Business League in the education of our business men and women in business methods of buying, selling, display, advertising, budget-making and record keeping." the report states "The field work has thoroughly convinced hundreds of our business men that the National Negro Business League is rendering a valuable service to them and to the nation in its effort to encourage and stimulate better and larger businesses operated by Negroes."

"This survey is a mirror for Negro business," says Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the League, under whose direction the study was made "It should show us just where we stand in business,—our weaknesses, so that we may work to eliminate them; and our opportunities, so that we may recognize them and take advantage of them." The Kegro business enterprises of the following cities were investigated: Columbus, Macon, Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia; Mobile, and Birmingham, Alabama; Pensacola, Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida; Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina; Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Asheville, North Carolina; Knoxville and Nashville, Tennessee; Little Rock, Arkansas; WHITE STUDENTS SEEK KNOWLEDGE OF NEGRO RACE Sociology Class of Agnes Scott College Visited Schools, Community Atlanta, Ga.-The effort for better understanding across racial lines which has characterized the interracial movement in the South Jackson, Mississippi; New Orleans, Louisiana; Houston and Dallas, Texas; Oklahoma City, Boley Muskogee and Tulsa, Oklahoma; Kansas City, Kansas; Indianapolis Indiana; Louisville, Kentucky; Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio; Richmond, Virginia. was evidenced last week by a tour on the part of the sociology class of Agnes Scott College, leading local institutions for white women, during which they visited a number of the more important Negro institutions and enterprises, and also went through the colored residential section, observing the conditions of housing and recreation. Inspected Race Activities The first call of the young ladies who were in charge of their teacher, Prof. Wright, was at the Atlanta School of Social Work, where the purposes and work of the school were outlined to them by Director Forrester B. Washington. Following this they sat for 4 hour in the class in social care work under Miss Ernestine McGill Miss Katie May Davis, on the social work school faculty, next conducted the group on a visit to the colored headquarters of the Family Welfare Society, the Atlanta Lif Insurance Company, and other business and welfare enterprises. The young ladies of the part expressed themselves as deeply in terested and greatly pleased with the evidences of progress which they saw 115th Street --- POLITICAL DIVORCE SOUGHT. The special correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune, who has been detailing the progress of the Lily White Republican movement in the South, in eliminating the Negro voters from the party, has found a new term to describe that process. He calls, it Republican regeneration. In a letter from New Orleans last week, he told how only two Negroes now remain out of the membership of the Louisiana Republican State Committee, numbering one hundred and four. Having thus all but crowded the Negro out of the party councils, the whites are striving for the psychological effect that would follow the ousting of Walter Cohen from the Federal post he now holds, as Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans. A political correspondent of the New York World, writing from Washington, summoned up the situation as to the movement to effect the political divorce of the Negro from Southern Republicanism, in the following succinct manner: Included in the blueprint of the new strategy is the practical divorce of the Republican Party from the Negro politicians of the South. This is already pretty well started. Walter G. Cormier, President of the House is through likewise Perry Howard of Mississippi and Ben Davis of Georgia. Bob Church of Memphis is on his way. They have a white National Committeeman from Mississippi now, which means that National Committeewoman Mary Booze, who created a sensation in the South during the campaign by being photographed with the white National Committeewomen, though she was left out of the luncheon caucuses, will be dropped when they find the process. The idea is, of course, to build up a lily Republican organization and rid lily of its fear of Negro domination, thereby paving the way for solidification of Republican gains down that way. This probably means the end of Negro Postmasters, except where there are no available whites, the leaders of the lily whites will and the new officeholders. The authors of the program, who insist they have Hoover's sanction, quote him as saying he would break up the sale of Federal offices for which Howard was indicted—and acquitted if he "had to break somebody's neck." They do not mention the Ku Klux Klan, but the lily white crowd so far has been largely of the Klan persuasion. The only new thing to be said about this program is that it is entirely out of harmony with the attitude of the President-elect, as manifested by him during the campaign. Of course, it might be said also that it is wholly at variance with the cardinal principles of equal political rights upon which the Republican party was founded, but the founders are nearly all dead and there is a new generation of Republican leaders in the field, who reckon little of party origins or foundations. They know only that elections are to be won by a majority of the votes cast, and that sufficient votes must be secured by hook or crook, in order to win. Even so well grounded in the faith a Republican as Senator Moses of New Hampshire has grown cynical in his latter days and shaky in his old beliefs and practices. However, granting all that the advocates of a divorce for the Republican party claim, such a decree of separation when carried into practical effect would free both parties to the contract. If the white Republicans of the South can combine with the anti-Smith Democrats, the black Republicans are likewise free to cooperate with any combination that may desire to utilize their latent voting strength. The same decree of divorce would have its effect on the Negro vote in many Northern states, freeing the group from any sentimental claims to support Republican candidates and placing it in a position to vote for those candidates who would best serve the interests of the group. Political divorce or Republican regeneration, as it may be called, if carried into practical effect, will undoubtedly work both ways. If it serves to promote the division of white voters in the South, it will also further the division of the colored voters in the North: While the Lily White movement is morally wrong, being a breach of good faith and political principles, it may result in greater political freedom for both races, in both sections of the country. Much will depend upon the attitude taken by the new President, when he assumes office next March. LIBERIA'S PRESIDENT OPTIMISTIC Some months ago, we had occasion to refer to the unfavorable criticisms made by Prof. Raymond Buell, on the operation and probable effect of the Firestone rubber concession granted by the Liberian government. Sufficient was quoted from reliable authorities at that time, to show that the assumptions made by Prof. Buell were largely unfounded and based upon the unfriendly attitude of rival Britiah colonial interests. More recently we have read President King's annual message to the Liberian legislature, referring to the same matter, in which it was pointed out that Prof. Buell's criticisms were based upon a visit of only fifteen days in the country; and necessarily limited in the acquisition of reliable information. In his message President King stressed the fact that the presence of American assistance in the financial administration of Liberia, through a financial adviser, supervisor of Internal Revenue and assistant auditor, was not unsolicited, but rather the realization of the desire of the Liberian people for the closest political and economic ties with the United States. The friendly interest of the latter country in Liberia is not a new creation, specially designed for the furtherance of the rubber interest, but runs back to the early days of the founding of the colony. He further avers that the American government has never sought any special privileges for itself or its citizens, but has always stood for the "open door policy" of equal opportunity and equal treatment by Liberia to all foreign nations. Taking up the specific matter of the Firestone operations, and the important role that this company is playing in the economic development of Liberia, the President characterized the rapidity of the development of its estates as "most wonderful and gratifying." The following figures were given to illustrate this progress: The total estimated acreage of rubber planted is thus far approximately thirty thousand acres. Estimated number of rubber trees planted and growing on this acreage, six million. Average number of Liberian workers on pay roll for each month of last year, ten thousand. Estimated sum paid out in wages to Liberian workers past year, skilled and unskilled, one million and twentyfour thousand dollars. The skilled Liberian workers, including mechanics, motor drivers, carpenters, clerks, bookkeepers, field overseers etc., employed during the year, numbered seven hundred and their wages amounted to more than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The total number of the white foreign staff in 'Liberia today was given as not more than ninety. During the past eighteen months, it was stated that the company had distributed free to Liberian farmers more than thirty thousand rubber tree stumps and one hundred thousand rubber tree seeds. An experiment has been made in the transplanting of ten thousand bud-grafted specimens of rubber stumps from Sumatra, with the possibility of establishing a reputation for Liberia as the finest and best rubber growing country in the world. The President thinks that Liberia's favorable climate and excellent soil combined with this high grade stock, may soon make Liberia the home of the highest producing rubber trees in the world. A Harvard University medical scientist was brought by the company to make a careful study of the prevailing tropical diseases, with every promise of beneficial results, while a scientific forester has made a study and classification of the Liberian forests, so as to provide expert knowledge of the timber resources of the country. President King takes a most optimistic view of the progress so far made in the development begun under the rubber concessions, and gives figures and facts to warrant his opinion. It looks as if Liberia had entered upon the road leading to a successful industrial development. SHAKING UP THE POLICE Every once in so often it becomes necessary in the opinion of the city fathers to shake up the police force by substituting one administrative head for another. These changes of the civilian head of the department are usually followed by an upheaval in the uniformed ranks, by means of which old officials are retired and new ones promoted to fill their places. This is all done in the name of efficiency and the promotion of the public weal, though at times there is a hint of political strategy involved. The latest change of this kind was occasioned by the resignation of Commissioner Warren and the appointment by Mayor Walker of Grover A. Whalen to take his place. Mr. Whalen is an upstanding member of the local Democracy and filled a conspicuous place as head of a city commission, before he retired to engage in commercial pursuits, but retained an official standing as the chairman of the committee to welcome and en- tertain distinguished visitors to the city. Mr. Whalen filled this post with dignity and urbanity, forming a model for all official welcomers. He was equal to the divergent tasks of greeting the crowned heads of Europe and the latest swimmer of the English channel, with the exact shade of respect and cordiality due the visitor, and his tact and dignity were never wanting. On assuming charge of the police force, Commissioner Whalen showed that he had some decided ideas on the subject of administrative detail and proceeded to shake up the official personnel without delay. The two heads of the uniformed force and the detective bureau, which latter had lost much prestige through the failure to solve the Rothatein and other murder cases, were summarily retired. Inspector Edward F. Mulrooney, who has had charge of the west side precincts in Manhattan for several years, was appointed to the latter post, while Deputy Chief Inspector John O'Brien, formerly of Brooklyn, became head of the uniformed force. Inspector Mulrooney who first became known to the readers of The Age as captain of a Harlem district, gradually rose from that rank to the posts of deputy inspector and inspector. In each of these grades he demonstrated his efficiency as a trained police official, bent on being his duty to protect all law-abiding citizens. The Harlem district was fortunate in the assignment of such police inspectors as Mulrooney, Day, Ryan and McDonald, who were a terror to the lawless, but fair and square in their dealings with the respectable citizens of the district. Deputy Inspector Pierre also won the respect of those who came in contact with him in his official duties. Commissioner Whalen has shown in his first appointments his ability to select good material from the uniformed force form police work efficiently and acceptably to the public. He has assured the men of the force of his loyalty and support and has demanded the same in return. He will issue orders that are meant to be obeyed, merit and efficiency being the basis of the relationship that must prevail between the force and the public. If the new Commissioner can make this edict stick, he should be able to obtain lasting results from the force, which numbers a standing army whose courage and ability need but to be rightly directed The suggestion that Mr Whalen has been put in charge of the Police Department, in order to groom him as a successor to Mayor Walker, is among the possibilities of the situation. In the meantime, if he gives the city a well disciplined force and adequate protection against crime, with a fair proportion of criminals apprehended and punished, it will not injure his chances for advancement WELCOME TO NEW YORK. New meaning was given to the phrase, "Welcome to our city," in a short address made by Mayor Walker last week, just after the Hungarian minister had presented to him the grand cross of Merit from the Hungarian government. The mayor was surrounded by his cabinet and friends among whom was Police Commissioner Whalen, who has functioned so often as the city's official welcomet. The Mayor explained that there are some people who do not understand the true significance of the receptions held at the City Hall for foreign potentates and other visitors. They are disposed to regard it as a mere parade on the part of the city officials and others taking part. But the Mayor pointed out that New York is the gateway to America and the impressions made here are the most lasting. He continued, "It is a stranger is accorded hospitality; or keeping with the hospitality of a country where we believe all men are created tree and equal, he will remember it. He will tell his children about it. They will know that America, of which this city is considered typical by the visitor, is a land of open arms where all are treated alike "And," concluded the Mayor, with a slight flourish, "when Mr. Whalen, my gracious assistant, and I, have passed on, let us hope that the seed of hospitality will have found root, and branched, in posterity." Hospitality is indeed a gracious gesture, whether extended by an individual or a civic corporation. The hospitality extended by the City of New York, under the urbane auspices of Mayor Walker and his assistants, without distinction of color creed or nationality, has been worthy of a great city. May it continue to be exemplified in every department of the city government. This generous hospitality should be an incentive to every newcomer to prove himself worthy of such a welcome, and whether his stay be transient or permanent, to make himself a potential unit in the city's millions. Editor of The New York Age: Some weeks ago the Negro population of Newark and adjacent towns and cities was much disturbed over a statement appearing in the public press saying, "The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Draws the color Line." Announcement had been made by this company that Negro policy holders would pay their premiums on industrial insurance as the office conducted at 990 Broad street. The purpose of this statement is to sensibly advise Negro policy holders as to what seems to be the same course to take with regard to the insurance they now have in force with the company mentioned. Our information, regarding the recent innovation of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company comes from a high official of that company. The facts were gathered by one competent to interpret the policy as given by the Metropolitan representative. The decision to advise Negro policy holders to hold on to their instance was reached (after deliberation) by man and women of judgment, and who are secalously interested in the welfare of their people. The Newark Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People advises Negro policy holders to retain their policies in the light of these observations. 1. Whole policy holders pay premiums on industrial insurance at the office conducted at 990 Broad street. Colored policy holders pay premiums on the same type of insurance at the same office. It follows that the office is not a segregated office (in that only Negroes pay premiums there) as we have previously supposed. 2. All policy holders (colored and white) living in Bloomfield, Montclair, Milburn, the Oranges, and adjacent towns will pay their premiums in the Newark office. The offices in these towns will be discontinued. If any policy holder (colored or white) does not care to make his payments in the Newark office, he may send the money, together with his books through the mail. The mail, may have the services of a collector who will call at their homes. 3. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company hopes that the reduction of operating expenses will reflect itself in more insurance for less money for its policy holders. The Newark Branch of the N. A. C. P. has but a single helpful motive for venturing this information, and for advising Negro policy holders to retain their insurance. Colored people must be sane of judgment. They must not supplant reason with emotion. And most of all, they must not dissipate their earnings of many years. Few colored people insured in the Metropolitan can afford to discontinue payments on the insurance they now have in force. Therefore it follows, to turn base now we seriously jeopardize our opportunity to secure the same protection that we have now at the present rate of premium. THE NEWARK BRANCH OF THE N. A. C. P. Dr. W. Wolfe. Thomas L. Puryear. A. P. Allison, Chairman Race Marriage Laws From the Greensboro Daily News A report from Raleigh is that delivers into the state statutes, find prohibition against the marriage of white and Negro, of white and Indian, of Cherokee and Negro, of Robeson county Indian and Negro. No mention is found of the yellow rice or the brown; which is to say there is nothing in the law to prevent the Chinatown from Greensboro and the Negro woman who have applied for marriage in license in Virginia being granted the license in our state, should they apply or from being married in this state. Not is there anything to prevent a white-Chinese marriage. The misegregation laws were passed by white people to preserve white racial integrity—not that any white person would contend that it could not be preserved otherwise—and consequently the infant of the law regards neither Mongol nor African. The prohibition of Indian-Negro marriage is therefore something of a curiosity. But so long as there is no prohibition of Chinese intermarriage with either white or Negro, there might conceivably be marriage in a Chinese family of both white and Negro. However, there are so few Chinese in the state that the consideration has not been practical importance. Looking over the news in The Aga and in most other Harlem pages, brings home to the reader that our fraternal organizations are the biggest businesses we have in New York. More and more lately in the white press we have been reading of mergers, consolidations and absorbitions in the business world—Victor Talking Machine and Radio Corp. to Merga, Manufacturers Trust Absorb Four More Banks, Chrysler and Dodge in Huge Merger—are some of the headlines we remember. If it is good business for big corporations such as these to pool their interests don't you think it is also good business for different lodges of the same fraternal organization or even different fraternal groups working along the same lines to get together into one big body. The various lodges of Elks in Harlem are a good example of what I mean. Among white members of this fraternity only one lodge is permitted in a, borough or town, whereas in Harlem we have three Elks lodges. It seems to me that were these three lodges to combine into one powerful organization, they would add to the prestige of their order in the East and at the same time effect many economies in the matter of administration. The million dollar building program now under way by Monarch Lodge makes this idea of consolidation feasible at this time. The new Monarch Home and apartments are large enough to house all the activities of the three lodges and their subordinate temples and could be erected with much less strain on the members building committee by all joining in. Then, too, a Harlem Elks Home would look much better to outsiders than a Monarch Elks Home, a Manhattan Elks Home and an Imperial Elks Home, all within a radius of 12 blocks of each other. The idea of consolidation might be carried successfully to the churches of Harlem and even to the newspapers. Successful businesses of the future will be conducted in large units. Benjamin Franklin's original cartoon—the disjointed snake and the caption "Unite or Perish"—should be the watchword in Harlem for 1929 LEWIS DORSETT New York City The Metropolitan Life Editor of The New York Age I have carefully reviewed arm I am forced to resent the letter of your lessless paper in regards to the policy of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. I am forced to resent the litter of A. F. C. Fisk, secretary-vice-president of the Metropolitan, appearing in your paper under date of December 15, which bears the headline "Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Denies Practicing Segregation in Handling" Policies Held by Negroes." My ten years of insurance management for a company just one year younger than the Metropolitan places me in a different position to make known facts "about Fisk and his crowd of villainess, insidious pony puppets," that Dr W. G. Alexander of Orange does I know about Fiske endorses to make amends but really lost his nerves, and failed to tell you just the exact truth which you have been asking for in regards to their policy. He fails to do as he says, quite a 'few must statements.' I do not feel that he is a bit surprised as to the source of information, as he is well aware of this practice for the past several years.* Ask Mr. Fiske, "How long has about 95 per cent of the Negroes, policy holders in St. Louis been paying their premiums at one office, located at Park and Jefferson avenues in St. Louis, Mo." I have been on special missions to this office in behalf of clients and have been fronted by female clerks of the most repulsive dispositions treating each and every one alike. No courtesy is shown in either one of the departments, upstairs or downstairs. Negroes are not permitted to pay their premiums in any other office but the Delmar district. No industrial policy holder is permitted to pay premiums at the office unless they first pay 15 weeks in advance, thereby discouraging the policy holder from doing away with the agents collecting on commission basis. It is a poor policy for a man who calls himself white to stoop so low to make a living on people he considers inferior, the "Negro." Mr. Fiske does not realize that the many thousand agents employed, and who call themselves white, are denying the Negro the right of a living The Negro is paying into the Metropolitan area. In wishing its readers a Merry Christmas, the Boston Chronicle gave vent to the following reflections on the spirit of the season: Each year as the 25th of December approaches people in all climes, and all walks of life, with the spirit of giving, Hild brilled Strongs who during twelve months have been adding sheckles to their hoard in many instances loosen the purse strings and many are made glad. There are others too, who have made sacrifices to be able to play Santa Claus to the children. The spirit of cheer is abroad. It is true in many cases the system of giving has degenerated into merely an exchange of presents. Often audible regrets have been made that the gifts received are not commensurate with the given. Despair the spirit of甜情 reactions, in the point believe that more canander and good feeling prevail at Yuletend than any other of the Christian's feast days. The carrying over at this state of mind, making others happy, should be easy to emulate the singer, the Christmas carol-olf did cheer For his timely homily on the preservation of the Christmas spirit, the Boston editor is entitled to due credit. Referring to the ready made supplement, which some of our race weeklies are sending out, with their regular news edition, as a special feature, the veteran editor of the Cleveland Gazette said. "The Illustrated Feature Section", which a Chicago advertising agency has "wished" on a number of our unsophisticated (from a business viewpoint) newspaper publishers, is "a good money-maker" for the agency but a "white elephant", in more ways than one, for the aforementioned publishers. Brethran of the race press, don't be such "easy pickings". Editor Harry C. Smith of the Collectie is just as caustic in dealing with a one-sided business proposition and turning it down, as he is in opposing a prejudiced candidate for public office or an effort at racial segregation. It is hard to fool a veteran of his type. Discussing the mission of Mr Hoover to South America, the writer of "The Camera" in the Pittsburgh Courier, said that his voyage gave rise to other questions, as follows: The Latins, we are told, offer one of the natural markets for our products. This is geographically correct; but the people south of us may have something to say about trading with us. Trade is but another form of intercourse. We trade most with people we like most. Our fondness for people grows out of our contacts with them. The history of the Latins is well known. They have never cultivated the United States, and there is a reason: Our caste system, our social equality bugbear and our superiority complex have served to drive the Latins away from this country. Our good Americans cannot socialize with the Latins. They are too "dark of skin" How, then, can we expect to establish general and profitable trade relations with people who are not "white enough" to enjoy our social life? We cannot avoid a man million dollars annually, thereby putting food into the stomach, shelter over the heads, and clothes on the back of the white agents. I find the type of Negro that the Metropolitan seeks its business from is the unthinking Negro. The thinking Negro is fast buying insurance from their own companies and, too, from white companies employing Negro agents. Mr. Fiske spoke the truth in regards to the instructions not to write any more industrial policies for Negroes His statement, as to if does not apply to all agents by any means. They have found by experience that certain agents are more successful with certain people than others. Why does Mr. Fiske evade? Why don't he define the difference between certain people "than others?" The truth is that the Metropolitan does not want anymore industrial business, and that certain people cannot pass examination for ordinary life insurance, and by being unable to pass examination cannot obtain ordinary life, and cannot get industrial, hence, denying them the right to obtain insurance in any form "Than others" the type who can pass examinations for ordinary life, and who live under batter environments, can obtain several forms of policies classified as sub-standard risks Premitals on such forms are usually ten per cent higher than on white. Such is the proof of the matter that has restricted the writing of applications on colored lives to certain agents I trust you will encourage members of the race to write you and report every known practice of such a company. I feel it will be the means of creating thought among us and that you will be kind enough to publish this letter. GEO MILLER Louis, for social reasons and then how to trade with him at a profit. We recall the words of Cole Blease, who, when speaking of the question of prohibition enforcement, said something very nasty and the brother from the South Seas, referred to them as "half-natives" immunized from the law because they are in Washington as representatives of their respective countries. This kind of talk gets under thikkin Cole Blease may not represent the country, but country respect and his official position. Before we get too deep in the trade question with the Latin we had better reform some of out customers. Mr. Hoover may get our ideas worth bringing back to Cole Blease and the rest of our cozy. The part that American color-judice has played as a drawback to the expansion of trade and the promotion of more friendly relations with the Southern republics has been recognized by trained observers of foreign commerce. In seconding the demand of Washington Post to "clean a crooked lawyers," the Star of Zion of Charlotte, N. C., said. The majority of the victims of these crooked lawyers are poor, and hesitate to make any formal complaints. They tell their troubles to their friends and acquaintances, but that gets them nothing and nowhere. These victims can assist the Bar Association in eliminating these crooks by making formal complaint sustained by documentary or other evidence. Hundreds of Negroes have been swindled by lawyers of their own race, and they have been deterred from action by a false conception of race pride. But crooked lawyers of all groups should be known and heralded that the people might be warned against them. It is the duty of all good citizens to help rid the public of these spongers. The crooked lawyer is a menace to the community, as his profession places him in a position to be trusted. A movement has been started in New York to rid the profession of ambulance chasers who cheat their clients of awards for damages. Deploring the fact, thus, "Negro youth generally are not receiving the proper 'home training' the Indianapolis Recorder said: This indictment is evident by their deportment in the schools and before the public it-applies alike to those coming out of reputed good homes or from surroundings of no discipline, squander and poverty. The teacher is to train and inspire you this or her charge, that the youth may make good citizens of the future. The youth must have something of salient character or background, otherwise the job is beyond human power. The teacher is not responsible character or background of a child, the parent has failed in this, the teacher cannot help but fail. Charges are made that Negro people do not have a correct sense of the fitness of things, or are, not amenable to propriety. The charges hold too widely. The circumstance is one that can be corrected within the Negro group. No inexeable obstacle may be necessary to specify a particular cost is involved. The criteria in not correcting the condition The circumstance is near at hand everywhere in the land It is everybody's job, but there is wide evidence that the responsibility is not taken seriously enough. The lack of proper home training for the youth of today is not confined to any one group, but has be come a national problem, if we are to credit the many complaints on that score. Considering the use of photographs in civil service, and the proposal to substitute finger prints of applicants for government positions, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: The photograph requirement for Civil Service examination, which came into use under the Wilson administration, whatever its original purpose, has served to work a hardship upon colored Americans. Because in making appointments the commission has the lawful right to select out from a list of three highest eligible hires, if one of these eligible happens to be identified by his picture as belonging to the Negro race he is often conveniently overlooked President-select Herbert Hoover has ceased for equal opportunity for all. If his words are to carry any meaning, his administration could make an effective move toward giving them that meaning by abolishing the photograph requirement in Civil Service examination If photographs of Government officials are to apprehension ease at the commission of crime and subsequent light, it time enough to take the picture after the eligible employer has entered the service. That is the system followed in the Navy Vards If it is good enough for Government yards, it certainly ought to be good enough for the Civil Service. But as much as this reform in the Civil Service system is to be desired by our group, we should avoid the mistake of creating an all too intensely racial atmosphere around it. We have had our bitter experiences, with suggested Federal legislation. This does not mean that we should slacken our efforts to repair the photograph requirement from the Federal Civil Service examination, but it does mean that we should not abide misdirect our efforts along this line as to give the desired reform a purely racial demand. While finger prints may prove more effective as means of identification, we have thought that the photograph was given more importance than its mission demanded. Best Basketball Game of the Season ROCKLAND FIVE (Undefeated this Season) VS BELMONT PARK FIVE (New Jersey's Best Team) AT ROCKLAND PALACE Formerly Manhattan Casino 155th Street and 8th Avenue New Year's Night, Tuesday, January 1, 1929 PRELIMINARY GAME DEFENDER GIRLS VS. BLUEBIRDS Dancing Before and After Games By J. C. CHUNN Outstanding football players were plentiful in the Southland this year. Possibly this was due to the large amount of material that was in hand last season. As a result there were numerous close games in fact they were the rule rather than the exception. Close games give a wide opportunity for starring. What is lost in the shuffle of a one-sided game suddenly comes to light with forcible import in a close contest. With football at its present high state of development the selection of an All-Southern or an All-American or an All-Sandlot team is just a lot of careful guessing no matter who does the selecting. As all of this in the mind of your correspondent, I have resolved this year, which I will choose to follow in years to come. The writer will pick a football squad, that in our opinion could go on the field and beat any team picked by any other man. There are several reasons for this move. The first is really explained above. If just one "first team" is selected it is possible to fill a very few positions with the satisfaction of knowing that the men named in these berths are unquestionably the best in the community but in other positions one must follow a system of "trading" schools or otherwise arrive at conclusions that are bound to be based on personal prejudices. in this age of advanced football when all-star teams are actually being selected for the purpose of playing games against other all-star outfits any selection of an "All-anything" team would be an empty gesture unless the players selected were theoretically fit to play together on a team. By this method of reasoning it is entirely evident that the selection of one team of 11 men would be palpably a mistake, whereas the selection of 33 of the best men in the Southland, would give any coach handling the team a chance to pick his best combinations. One individual might be a better all-around football player than the other man for his position but he might not fit into one team while he did the other. The writer is making this selection based on statistics, comments, opinions and actual observation made personally as each Southern team was observed in action. The three teams below are evenly matched, no man on first teams is any better than the ones on the third reserves team. Putting them in this order was just to work out the combinations that the writer thinks would work well together. In the three lines you will and four different combinations. You will also have three great lines that would hold like stone. In the line there would be a world of experience that often takes its toll in many great games. If any team in the east or north could get through this line to the writer's opinion it will have to be developed because there is not one in the States that could penetrate the invincible line. In case of a game these three teams could be mixed up or interchanged without hurting the efficiency of the squad in action appreciably. There lies the secret of many great teams. Position 1. E 1.

The school colors of maroon and gold were tastefully expressed in the elaborate decorations in the College Auditorium. At the long center table were seated the dean of the College, the chairman of the Athletic Council, the coach, with his wife, other members of the Council, the captain of the football team, and the captain-elect, with their company and visitors. The other guests were seated at double-couple tables arranged in horseshoe form around the center table. The delicious menu for the occasion included fruit cocktail, roast turkey with oyster dressing, cranberry jelly, rice potatoes, patties of creamed peas, swiss egg salad, hot rolls, jello cup and demi-tasse. Music during the banquet and the reception which followed it, was furnished by the College Orchestra H Samuel, chairman of the Athletic Council, acting as Master of Ceremonies, introduced several individuals who had made vital contributions to the success of the football season. In his remarks he highly praised the efficiency of Coach Busch, the very fine leadership and playing of Captain Kelly, and expresses his satisfaction with the showing of the team He first called upon a prominent alumnus, John Henry Smith, who is filling the place as secretary to the Investment Secretary of the National Benefit Insurance Company, in a very creditable manner Mr Smith was making a brief visit, with Mr Lucas, to Daytona Beach. He made a few pertinent remarks stressing the significant place which his Alma Mater held in his heart, and giving to his Institution the full credit for the success which it Dena Coleman, an old football mentor in the State followed in a short talk in which he lauded the spirit of the team and of the student body. Coach Busch, to whom is due much of the credit for the enviable season's record of producing an undefeated team, expressed himself as being satisfied with the team spirit but asked for better support from the student body as a whole. Captain Forrest Kelly very briefly expressed his satisfaction with the support given during his captaincy, and wished for Captain-elect Harry Alexander the same fine spirit de corps for the coming season. This is the second time that the Wildcats have shown their confidence in Harry Alexander by selecting him to the captaincy of the team. His splendid sportsmanship and cool-headedness has won for him the high regard of his fellow athletes. In his short speech of acceptance of this honor, he promised his very best to the team and to the school. Oliver Hollert Joyal and conscientious member of the team for the past two years was elected assistant captain. The following men received awards of the Varsity B from the coach: Captain John Forrest Kelly, Booker T Sumpkins Harry Alexander, Olaf Alexander Lanner Booker, Joseph Morrison, Ernest Robinson, Willie Miles, Samuel Johnson, Jr. Jorge Mungon, Edward Rodriguez Leroy D Brown, Oliver Hollert Howard James, Freeman Hixon Nellyville Strachan Ronald Clark Tuskegee Institute Ala.

These are all children who would otherwise share little, if at all, in the Christmas gay city. Besides the special performance, gifts of candy and toys, were given out, all in co-operation with the Harlem Community Councils Fine Attraction At Alhambra This Week "Izzy Holiday" at the Alhambra this week is full of fun and provides a happy time at this season of traditional joy. Billy Higgins, whose comedy successes throughout the country have made him a universal favorite, well maintains his reputation. Johnny Lee Long and Pigeat book him up with their antics. Manda Randolph, unquestionably one of the most capable women comes on any stage anywhere in the world, captivates when she leads the sixteen Alhambra madcap girls, all attired in Turkish barem costumes. The latter part of the program is a jolly party presided over by Billy Higgins, with the Night-Hawk band on the stage Isabel Washington Doris Rheubottom, Ted Blackmon, Jimmy Baskette and a lot of others participate in the revels. "Framed Up" a drama of police injustice, shows how an innocent man is subjected to "third degree" methods and railroaded almost to the electric chair. Excellent acting is done by Andrew S. Bishop, George Randol, Barrington Carter, Susie Sutton and Edina Barr. The Picture, feature, completing the triple program is "Roaring Fires" with Alice Lake. "Hello 1929" is the musical comedy revue with which the Allambra Theatre will welcome the New Year with attractions specially created for the occasion. There will be something emblematic of the triumph of the airplane age over the automobile age of the past, all in fun, of course. The drama will be "Silver Threads," telling of the dear old mother, unwanted by her grownup children after all her sacrifices. In the end she goes "over the hill to the poorhouse." New Year Eve there will be a gala midnight frolic with a lot of extra attractions, but at the regular midnight prices Reserved seats are on sale.

City Trafalgar 1069 Nature intended that the baby should be breast fed. Mothers may pay a frightful penalty if denying their infants this precious and only perfect baby food. The New York State Child Hygiene in a survey of deaths among infants found that "58 per cent of infants who died after the first week were artificially (bottle), fed. Of these more than half were given proprietary foods." Moreover, "in only 27 per cent of the artificially fed was the feeding prescribed by a physician." Feeding the baby, other than breast milk, according to mother instinct increases its chances to become extinct (dead). Hygiene of the Mother The Mother's Diet: We are frequently asked by a nursing mother what she should eat. The answer is, Eat any food to which you were accustomed before the baby came, provided it does not upset your diet; that is, a quart of milk, meat, eggs, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit juices, bread. Butter. It is true that certain foods in the mother's diet may upset the baby, or, worse still, the cause of a disfiguring ecrema. But these things may be determined only by trail. It cannot be said without such experience that any particular food will disagree with mother or child. The Bowel Function There should be a free movement daily. If not, the least harmful measures are, regulation of the diet, making this especially rich in fruit juices and foods that give ruffage- colery, lettuce, spinach, carrots.

C.—The teachers and students of Shaw University, with a few visiting friends, were surprised on Tuesday evening, December 18, when instead of the conventional recital, they found Lloyd Hickman baritone, giving them a concert showing genuine power. Mr. Hickman, who for some years has been teaching at the State College in Orangeburg, S. E., and who is just beginning his formal career as singer, revealed a voice of full maturity and of wide range. He sang with good effect selections in Italian and French, but was most powerful in two oratorical selections and in such songs as "Gadman's "The Builder," Weatherly's "Danny Boy," Domroesch's "Danny Dever," and Clarence Cameron White's adaptation of "Blow, Gabriel." Mr. Hickman was generous in his encores, and gave every promise of having a splendid future. Phone Bradhurst 1957 DAVID JOHNSON MUSIC STUDIO Violin, Piano, Ensemble 66 West 140th Street N. Y. C.

Body, bending movements, lying fat on the back and raising both legs, or raising the upper part of the body with the feet and legs held down. In constriction of the habitual kind we believe brain and mineral oil are effective. Sometimes a hot soap-suds enema before retiring accomplishes a satisfactory result. As a last resort we have medicines which you should take only under medical advice. A walk in the open air is a daily necessity for the nursed mother. Her sleep should be undisturbed from 1 to 6 a.m. An added hour, or two during the day is a great advantage. Fatigue and nervous excitement have their effect on the mother's milk and the babies may suffer colic, vomit or cry unduly. The breast should be washed before and after nursing with a solution or boric acid one teaspoonful to a glass of boiled water, made fresh every day. A clean handkerchief, cloth or gauze should be placed between breasts and the clothing. Never touch the nipple area unless the hands are clean. In case of cracked or fissured nipples, anointing, them with 5 per cent tincture of benzoin in liquid vaseline and using a breast shield, plus rigid cleanliness, will tide the mother over a painful experience and maybe forestall an access of the breast. Details of Nursing. After birth the baby should be put to the breast every six hours the first day; every four hours the second day; and every three hours thereafter-seven feedings in twenty-four hours, at 6, 9, 12, 3, 6, 9, and 1. Regularity is important not only from the standpoint of the baby's digestion, but because of its stimulating effect on the breast and because it permits the mother to adjust her hours of sleep to meet the baby's demands. Therefore, the baby should be wakened to be fed. The mother should give the infant first the right breast at one feeding, and the next time the left breast, alternately. This mixtures complete emptying of each breast, a necessity for its proper function. Whether both breasts should be given at each morning is a matter for competent medical judgment. The old saying, "nurses the baby for 20 minutes," does not seem to be standing the test of time. Dr. H. C. Smith and K. K. Merritt, of Columbia University, "and Bellevue Hospital, in studying this matter conclude, "nursing infants obtain the greater part of their feeding of breast milk in the first few minutes, from 40 to 60 per cent in the first two minutes, and from 60 to 85 per cent in the first four minutes. This holds true whether the supply is abundant, "moderate, or scanty. After eight minutes very few babies get any milk whatever." So that if the baby nurses for ten minutes, seems satisfied and goes to sleep, it is not necessary to insist on the additional ten minutes, provided he is gaiting in weight. When nursing the baby the mother should be comfortable and quiet seated in a low chair with the baby supported in the hollow of her arm. If the baby is nursing the left breast, slight elevation of the mother's left foot adds to the case of the process. If the right breast, elevate the right foot. The clothes about the breast should be loosened, and the fullness of the breast held away from the baby's nose. After nursing, place the baby over your left shoulder and gently pat his back so that he may get up the air, which is swallowed while nursing and which may cause him to spit up if placed in bed immediately. Pupils of Alma Jones Miss Alma Jones of the Emma Ransom House, who took courses in the musical education department at Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, and at New York University, New York City, and who is at present a student under Harold Lewis of the Institute of Musical Art, will give a Christmas party and recital for her young students, Thursday, December 27, at the residence of Mrs. Dancey, 200 West 146th street.

CRICHLOW The Companions of the Forest came into existence, after a request from the late John Folkner to the Brixton High Court of England in 1893. The Circles are governed by a Grand Circle, of which he was our first Grand Companion, and recognised as branches of the order. Further details of the order can be had from the Forster's Magazine, dated 1912-1917. These magazines will be found at any public library. The oldest Circle in New York City is Golden Rod Circle, No. 194. Mrs. Martha Sampson is the Chief Companion. This Circle was operated for many years before the existence of other Circles. Later the following Circles were organized: Victoria Circle, No. 272, Mrs. Constance Clark, Chief Companion; Magnolia Circle, Mrs. Ada Day, financial secretary; Robinhood Circle, Mrs. Martha Bradley; Chief Companion; Empire Circle, Clara Forbes, Chief Companion; Elite Circle, Lillian Windley, Chief Companion. Good Hope Circle; Mrs. Cagrie Rivers, Chief Companion; Beacon Light Circle, Mrs. Washington secretary; Palm Circle, Mrs. Sarah Harvey, Deputy Joan of Are Circle, Mrs. Rosa L. Blocker, Chief Companion; Howard Circle, Brooklyn, Mrs. Annie Ausbon, Chief Companion; Past Chief Companions Association, Mrs. Ada Yorks, Chief Companion; Grand Committee, Mrs. Marietta Criclow, president; Drill Team, Mrs. Clara Forbes, Captain; Marietta Juvenile, Mrs. Ella Goddard, president. All of these Circles were organized by Companion Criclowh, with the assistance of friends, except Golden Rod, Magnolia, Victoria and the Past Chief Association. Companion Criclowh also organized the Eureka Circle in Buffalo, N. Y., of which Mrs. Della Lee is Deputy. Having organized the Grand Committee and with the financial support of Companion Hubert B. Pierre, financial secretary of Joan of Arc Circle, who put up the full amount of money necessary, we established the Forrester's Rest, located at 309 West 139th street. The Pacific Jurisdiction has consigned, if we so desire, to divide the Companions of the Forests into two jurisdictions. As is the men's Foresters in the United States of America, the Atlantic and Pacific, so will be the Woman's Branch; and a Grand Circle will be established here in New York City, as the headquarters of the Atlantic Jurisdiction. Then we can make laws to suit conditions in the East. The Companions of the Forests is a woman's organization. All men joining same are to be Foresters, and if not at time of joining the Circle, they should make application to Court Robert A. Sibbald, E. B. Barner, secretary, 320 West 140th street. The growth of the Companions of the Forest in the City of New York is due to Companion Mrs. B. E. De Toscano, Past Chief Companion of Golden Rod Circle, and Dr. St. Clair Jones, Past Chief Reigner of Court Robert A. Sibbald. Any of the Circle will be pleased to have you as a member, and are soliciting those of good moral character to help us build up the order in the City and State of New York. I hereby request that all members of the Companions of the Foreast, Ancient Order of Foresters, to purchase a New York Age every week at the Forester's Rest, 309 West 139th street. All information concerning the meetings and activity of the Eastern Jurisdiction of the Foresters will be in this paper each week. VIRGINIA OFFICER WITHHOLDS GIVING WEDDING LICENSE Refers Marriage of Chinaman to Colored Woman to N. Carolina Danville, Va. A curious condition has arisen here with regard to interracial marriage, the parties concerned being a Chinaman and a Negro woman, which has been referred to the Attorney General of North Carolina for decision. The clerk of the Corporation, Otla Bradley, was asked for a license' to wed by L. A. Moon of Greensboro, N. C., a full-blooded Chinaman, whose faece is a colored woman. Bradley's search of the Virginia statutes showed no bar to issuance of the license, but as the couple plan to live in North Carolina he was not sure but that the marriage' might be in conflict with the laws of that state. Before submitting the question to North Carolina's Attorney General, however, Bradley first called on Frank Talbott, Assistant commonwealth Attorney, for an opinion, and it was only that official had said there is no Virginia law to Desverney Junior Choir In Diversified Program One of the interesting musical events of the season was the diversified program of music rendered by the Mme.

The program was made up of ensemble numbers, solos and recitations, and the company was assisted by David Lowe, bartone soloist of the Coleridge-Taylor M. D. & A.

In the meantime, he told Moon that if the marriage proved to be legal the license would be granted. Moon was puzzled at the temporary denial, declaring in good English that he saw nothing against the proposed marriage. An editorial in the Greenboro Daily News, reprinted in another column, commenting on the marriage said that reports from Raleigh were to the effect that there is no North Carolina law to prevent the marriage of a Chinaman to either white or Negro.

Used with Hot Lotion for Stimulating --- OF REPRESENTATIVES NEEDED How many representatives of the Polluna management and representatives of the Polluna partners and mails is always a certain probability, speculation is rife among members of the porter group in thin, the Grand District as to who will be the employees representative from that district. Whatever one of these conferences is held, each of the Polluna districts throughout the country is represented by a representative, who is elected, first by primary election in his own district, and then by general vote of all the employees concerned in the service. Finally the same procedure will presal in the selection of those who will represent the employees at the forth-coining meeting. Selecting representatives who are best qualified to represent them is not such an easy performance with the porters as it might seem, despite the fact that these selections are of their own choosing. The qualifications encountered are several, although, it might be added, these difficulties could be greatly minimized if the employees concerned were to give the matter a little more interest and forthought. Herefore, they have centered their interest on the conferences and not on their representatives, apparently taking the attitude that do long as a conference with the management was had that that was all that was necessary. While it cannot be said that they have suffered to any great extent in the past as a result of this attitude, nevertheless, such an attitude doesn't show good sense. Considering what these meetings mean to them, it should be obvious to the most obtusus among them that much depends on the type of men who are sent to represent them. According to our view of the matter, each of these employees representatives should have definite grounds, for being elected. First, he should be intelligent. By being intelligent, he will be able not only to think clearly, but will be able to express himself clearly. Secondly, he should be a man who has had experience in the different types of Pullman service, such as, for instance, the buffet service, both luncheon and club car, the parlor car service and the shopping car service. Experience in these three classes of Pullman work will not only make him sympathetic with the contents of employees who operate in these different classes of service, but the experience will enable him to discuss these contents with force and intelligence. Thirdly, he should be a man who believes in being honest with himself. By being honest with himself, he will be honest with all the parties involved. In fact, we are inclined to the belief that self-honesty is the best asset of any representative, irrespective of whom, which or what he is representing. In the coming conference, the last named attribute will be quite necessary with the employee representative. There will be no need for him to attend this round table meeting on wages and working conditions with the idea that he is going to tell the employer's representatives something about the service that they do not already know. We do not know, of course, who these officials will be, but there is one thing that can be portended before the conference meets; they will be men who know the Pullman service from the ground up; who know all its qualifications. Presenting them with proof of the need of economic justice for the porter may be the industrial lever, by which certain conditions will be obtained, better wages granted and improved working conditions had, but it is almost indiscreous to think that these things will be gotten in any other way but a straight-forward presentation of this proof. There is one more thing which came near being forgotten, but which the employee's representative should be in possession. He should be a man who knows the limitations of the porter job. By this, we mean he should realise that the duties of a Pullman porter are not those of a Pullman executive. And while every effort should be made on the part of the representative to get better pay and better working conditions for the porter for the performance of these duties, but he should keep in mind the fact that a porter's job is not in any sense a clerical or supervisory job. Now for the porters in the fifty-two (we believe that is the nimble) Palman districts and agencies to get the type of men who possess the essentials we have mentioned to represent them. As said, submitting these representatives, with an eye single to their qualifications, is not an easy performance, no matter how conciseness some of the employees concerned may be about it. In the first place, geographical conditions present a problem in the matter. For example, the porters in the Los Angeles district may not think about the matter of representation in the same way as, say, the porters, in the New Orleans district. Or the men of the Philadelphia district may not think in the same way as the men in the Montreal district. All, however, desire more wages and better working conditions; for there is no general head or committee among them to pass upon the candidates best fitted to argue on these things. This is a condition which is left entirely to each district. Perhaps in the only way it can be done and the porters of each district within their elective anomaly, still the procedure doesn't make for unity in the type of men who represent the group in such important matters as wages and working conditions. In the second place, in the absence of a regular nominating committee in each district for the naming of candidates best fitted for the honor the aspirants in the primary election are chosen in a sort, of well-will way. The man best qualified to represent his district may be elected, then again he may not be. That however, is left entirely to the voters. And in large districts like the Penn. Terminal, the second Central and the two Boston districts, it is not always that the person themselves who will make the best delegate for them, due mostly to the fact that they have never given that phase of the matter any consideration, or very little at best. In this connection, a porter in the Grand Central district, speaking recently on the same subject, was overheard to make a novel suggestion regarding these elections. He said, candidates in the primary election should be named by the superintendent of the district. He was reminded that that would appeal too much like the management's interest. "I know it would, I would," replied this porter, "but it need not necessarily be so." Continuing he said: "My reason for suggesting the superintendent of a district as a nominating committee for these primary candidates, because he knows the honesty, ability and soundness of every person in his district. And he knows, whether he would speak it or not, which porters in his district are best qualified to represent their group. His contact with them from time to time gives him that interest. For my part, I would be perfectly willing to leave the naming candidates in these primary elections to the district head. Of course, he makes the rank and file of porters would object to that." The writer thinks too they would. That, however, is not the point. The main point is, that if and when this conference is called, the personnel district owe it and themselves to see that the men who go to interview them are solid men. This will require a little more interest on their part than has been heretofore displayed in some of the districts. "MY DEAR MR. HOGANS: "At the Pocahontas EIK's Home in Cambridge recently there was staged a spirited debate between two of our students on political economy, their subject being: 'Does Prohibition prohibit?' The debates were a Mr. Smith and a Mr. Hopkins. "Both young men scored handsomely in their contentions. Mr. Smith affirmed that proper legislation was the one thing needful for our welfare and comfort of the people, and he regarded the Prohibition Act as a prophecy for all the ills of society in general. "Mr. Hopkins objected on the grounds that however wise or beneficial statutory laws may be, a large per cent of the people disregard these human enactments, and although those same people had no headway in life, their slipshod habits had become so confirm- 1651 8425 B16 8419 8521 7652 1655 ced that reformation seemed almost impossible. "There were many brilliant passages between the two arguers on the subject. Authors of world repute were cited by each speaker to support his side of the argument. And both speakers were applauded by the listeners for their saliies and for the way in which each handled his side of the question. "I do not wish to detract one iota from the laurels which the young men so justly earned, but I could not help note the superficialness of the debate in some of its parts. "If people disregarded all the laws that they did not like, what a country we would have! Then there are the Ten Commandments, handed down to us by Moses, but that numberless of persons break them is no reason for believing that they are not to be obeyed. "Men of the present day are but the prototypes of their ancient forbears. The children of Israel suffered under the Egyptian regime. Our position under nordic customs parallels that of the children of Israel under Pharoah. Our opportunities are narrowed and circumscribed. This is patent to the world. So, doesn't it seem foolish, as well as unwise, on our part to appear the white man in the thoughtless expenditure of money of which we as a race are so badly in need? Do we require legislation to impress that fact upon us? "When we stop to consider how far we are behind other races, it seems little short of idiocy for us to continue as a race of spend-thrifts. The Negro who takes this into account and saves his earnings is an asset to both his race, and his community. "Making laws will not legislate money into the pocket of thriftless persons. And since the laws of the land promise us equal opportunity, but custom and practices are diametrically the opposite, as a weapon of self-defense we should realize the power of the dollar. After all, money seems to be the golden calf to which but a few men fail to bow. My advice to the young man especially is to save his money. It is the greatest bulwark of defense against want, poverty and injustice that he can erect."

Rose, owner and founder of Rose's Restaurant, at 430 Lexox avenue, died Tuesday, December 17, at his home in Montreal, Calif., of a cancer of the stomach. His health began failing, several months ago and he gradually grew worse after his return to California three months ago. Three days before death he flipped into unopportunity. He was in his 73rd year James W. Rose was born in southern Illinois, but at an early age he left his home to start work on the famine Mississippi River packets. In the course of time, he settled in New Orleans and on the southern Louisiana coast, where he married Larry he moved to Hartford, Conn., from whence he came to New York to start, in 1910, a small restaurant, which later was to achieve wide fame for its whole southern food at low prices. Corn Beef Hash at 10c. His speciality at his first restaurant on West 135th street was corn beef hash at 10 cents, and corn beef hash with an egg for 15 cents' later his restaurants introduced blackeye peas, with rice or hain Harlemmen. His business prospered so much that in a few years he was able to open three restaurants in different parts of the city. In 1929 he opened in West 135th street—the Roose Hotel, a first class hostelry, then the largest operated or colored in the city. He later sold the buildings that comprised this hotel to the city, and the 16th Precinct Police station is now located there. He got rid of all save the restaurant at 430 Lenox avenue, which is elaborately fitted up and is known the country over for its service and cleanliness. Moved to Coast for Health For the past few years Mr. Roehl's health had been falling. Roehlin pain caused him to seek a warmer climate and he made several trips to the South and to Cuba in an effort to find relief. Two years ago, he moved to California with his wife, leaving the business in charge of his son, Raymond. He built a beautiful home at Monrovia, in suburb of Los Angeles. There his health was materially benefited until his return to New York June. While on his last trip to his home here, the late Mr. Rose provided that upon his death, his business be shared by his employees, many of whom have been with him from 10 to 15 years. This share is to be in the nature of a bonus paid to each employee at the end of every year, beginning in 1929. The restaurant is now being managed by Walter J. Petrey. Wm. Butter *Mr. and Mrs. S.
