Police Postal Inspectors I From Marcus Garvey Recipient Take Officials See In Req Of Garvey To Create For Purpose of Ra According to a story York Herald Tribune on United States postal inspe all mail-coming to this cou erstwhile President-Gener was deported to Jamaica a Atlanta-Federal Penitenti the mails in selling stock The action taken by the postal inspectors is based, according to the story, on a letter sent by Garvey to his followers, here asking them to take a house-to-house center of all the Negro people in their respective communities on sheets which he 'enclosed, she same to be sent when filled out by 'Hikari Garvey ' "Slip Road Cross Roads " P. O. St. Andrew "Jamaica, B. W. I." The Garvey Lettar. Imperial C. W. Clarkson, the post-official in charge, gave us the text of Garvey's letter to his followers, which reads as follows: "We dear co-worker: 1:5m tending you with a census list asking you to go around from house to house in your district, street or neighborhood to gather a census of all the Negro people who live there. We are registering the name, occupation and address of every Negro in the world, so that we may perfect a world-wide cooperation to put over the biggest program ever undertaken. "We want you to do this as an act of race love and cooperation. Mail the census sheets back to us immediately (addressed as above). After the census is taken we shall launch the program that shall redeem and save the Negro race. With very best wishes and trusting to hear from you shortly, I have the honor to be, your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association." A Schema To Defraud. According to Inspector Clairean, this Garvey plan is looked upon as just another scheme by which the deported Jamaican might defraud colored Americans out of their hard-earned money, just as he was charged with doing in the transactions which ultimately sent him to prison. When the above letter was intercepted, F. E. Shea, the inspector who was connected with the Garvey case in 1923, was sent to locate the local offices. The Negro World, which is published weekly by the Garvey supporters, has an office at 142 West 130th street, but E. B. Knox said to be Garvey's personal representative, and Mrs. M. L. T. D'Mena, international organizer, both were said to be out of town. Six officers, said to be located in New York, could not be found. Shea said no charges could be preferred Goes Insane And Jumps From Hospital Window To Death Hannibal Wänzer, 32 years, who lived at 234 West 122nd street, was taken to Harlem Hospital Saturday, December 29, and three hours after he entered the hospital ward, he became suddenly violently insane and jumped from a fifth floor window to the concrete court below, meeting instant death. Wänzer was an employee of the Customs House and was well known in the younger social circles of Harlem. He was a former student at the Virginia Union University, Richmond, and came about six years ago to go to school. He was a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. The body was shipped to his former home, Berryville, Va., by Duncan Brothers, undertakers, on Wednesday, January 2. against Garvey: who is a British subject. Making A "Sucker List" Carlashan is quoted as saying that he believed this to be an effort to Garvey's part to establish a "sucker list" and that it is probable that the letter has been broadcast to all parts of the country. Continuing, he said: "We intend to slip this before it gets under way. Should we be unable to get face to face with him, will he call all his friends through this post office and force those to whom it is addressed to call here and be identified before they can get it." Only those letters from Garvey which are approved by the investigating staff or the postal department will reach their destination. 8 Harlemites Get Prison Terms In Police Roundup Among the group of several hundred criminals arrested just before the Christmas holidays, at order of the new Commissioner, Grover Whalen, were eight ex-convicts living in Harlem, who were picked up by Detectives Baeurschmidt and Crosby of the West 135th street police station. Six of these men were charged with vagrancy and sentenced to terms of six months each in the workhouse by Magistrates Ewald and Earl Smith. The other two, Percy Charity and Iequem Poyner of 115 West 144th street, were caught in an attempt to work the old pocket-book game.

Mississippi Adds One More To Its 1928 Lynching Record, Making Four, When Charles Shepherd Is Burned Mob of 300 Take Man From Woman Who Had Captured Him and Was Taking Her Prisoner To Prison Farm at Parchman, Miss. Parchman, Miss.—Charles Shepherd, forty-one year old Negro, alleged murderer and kidnaper, was lynched and his body burned near here Monday night December 31, by a mob of armed men estimated at between 200 and 300 in number. On the night of December 31 another lynching brought. Mississippi's record for the year to 4, making a total of 10 for the year. The number of lynchings for 1928 totalled 9, according to the annual survey made by the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee Institute, and released December 31 by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal. These figures show a decrease of seven as compared with the lynching record for 1927: 21 less than in 1926; 8 less than in 1925, and 7 less than in 1924. Of the 9 lynched, five were taken from the hands of officers outside of jails, and one was taken from a jail. In comparison with this, it is reported that there were 24 instances in which law officers prevented lynchings, three in northern and 21 in southern states. In one of these cases, armed force was used to drive off the wouldbe lynchers. Fourteen white men, one white woman and 25 Negro men were saved from death at hands of the mobbists.

D. Duvall, prison sergeant at the state convict farm, and the kidnapping of Ruth Duvall, eighteen, paid the penalty of the "unwritten law" of the Southland at a secluded roadside spot between Rome, Miss., and prison camp No 11, the scene of his crime Slashed, Shot, Burned. Shepherd was first beaten, stabbed and shot to death. Then his body was tossed upon a pyre of gasoline soaked timbers and a match applied. Late tonight the charred form of the slayer still remained at the spot with thirty to forty men still at the scene to prevent its removal. The lynching of Shepherd was the culmination of a chase by the mob across three counties before he was wrested from the custody of his captor—a woman. The Negro was captured at 8 o'clock this morning by Miss Laura Mae Keeler, a plantation owner in one of the bunkhouses on her place seven miles from Shelby Taken from Woman Miss Keeler and three men started with the Negro for the prison farm here. Word of the capture incited the countryside and citizens, joined by members of the searching parties, soon gave chase. Shepherd and his captors were overtaken near Rome and the Negro was seized. Shepherd is said to have confessed the slaying of Duvall and the abduction of his daughter, but it said to have absolved from blame two bunkmates for whom the posse also had been searching * Hunted Since Friday. Shepherd had been traunted since Of the nine victims, eight were Negroes and one Mexican, two of whom charged with rape, two with murder, two with wounding men in altercations, and three with killing officers of the law. Only five states furnished the lynchings; Louisiana, 2; Mississippi 3; Missouri, 1; New Mexico, 1; Texas, 2. N. A. A. C. P. Lynching Records. A report on lynchings for 1928 by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gives the same number of victims, 9, as the Tuskegee report. The N. A. A. C. P. report also makes a comparative showing of lynchings for the past ten years, marking a drop in 1923, following the passing of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by the House of Representatives. There were 67 lynchings in 1918, with a high peak of 83 in 1919; 1920 had 65, 64 in 1921 and 61 in 1922. The number dropped in 1923 to 28, with 16, in 1924, 18 in 1925, 34 in 1926 and 21 in 1927. James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary, finds encouragement in the fact that there has been a steady decrease in lynchings since the Commission on Interracial Cooperation has been functioning. He recalls that in 1889, the year in which the Association's record was begun, there were 175 lynchings, and in comparing the nine lynchings of 1928, see distinct progress in the South, with the exception of Mississippi, which contributed three of the nine outrages. One More To Its cord, Making Four, Shepherd Is Burned From Woman Who Had is Taking Her Prisoner at Parchman, Miss. Charles Shepherd, forty-one burderer and kidnaper, was bed near here Monday night of armed men estimated at number. Friday morning, when Mrs. Dovall discovered her husband had been stabbed and beaten to death and her daughter abducted. When the girl appeared at the prison camp Saturday morning with the story of her mistreatment at the hands of Shepherd the searching party was greatly augmented, and Governor Bilbo ordered four companies of the National Guard to aid in the search This morning Miss Keeler was informed by Shepherd's brother, Tom, one of her employees, that the slayer was on the plantation. His capture followed. Beating Caused Killing. A Coroner's jury, making a reputed investigation of the lynching, returned a verdict of "death at hands of unknown parties." Before being lynched, Shepherd is said to have given as a reason for killing Duvall, the prison sergeant, the fact that the officer had given him, Shepherd, an unwarranted and unmerciful beating at the State Prison farm a few days ago. No State Invocation Governor Theodore G. Bilbo announced that no investigation of the burning at the stake of Charley Shepherd, convict murderer and abductor, would be made at his institution. Although the Governor said he would take no action, Arthur Jordan, District Attorney, indicated he might call for a Grand Jury investigation. He declared he "would get in touch" with Judge S. P. Davis, at Indianola, in whose jurisdiction the lynching occurred. NOTICE CORRESPONDENTS Please have your news items in by Tuesday morning of each week.

Wright, Negro physician and surgeon, of 218 West 139th street, as a police surgeon. The new police surgeon was sworn in immediately and is now on duty. Wright is not subject to dismissal at the direction of the head of his department. Stood Second On List. About a year ago Dr. Wright competed with 150 other physicians in a civil service examination for this position, and when the results were made public last August he stood second on the list of eligibles. He had scored a mark of 89.1 in the examination. Speculation was rife in Harlem whether Dr. Wright would get the recognition deserved and many people did not believe he would be appointed. Before Mr. Whalen became the head of the Police Department, it was reported that offers were tendered Dr. Wright of similar positions in the Fire Department and Street Cleaning Department, but at smaller salaries than is paid the surgeon of the Police Department. But Dr. Wright would not accept appointment to any position except the one he went out for Glad To Make Appointment In appointing Dr. Wright, Commissioner Whalen said he was glad to have the honor to be the one to appoint a Negro citizen to this position. He said that Dr. Wright had won the right to the position in active competition and he did not feel his race or creed should enter into the selection. The job carries a salary of $5,000 per year and runs indefinitely. Like other Civil Service appointments, Dr Brother of David Costuma Promoted To Police Captain Among the promotions announced by Commissioner Grover Whalen of the Police Department was that of Louis Costuma from lieutenant to captain. Captain Costuma is a brother of David B. Costuma, former Republican leader of the 19th Assembly District. Wright is not subject to dismissal at the direction of the head of his department. The new surgeon was born in La Grange, Ga., and is 37 years of age. He received his A. B. degree at Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., and in 1915 graduated from the Harvard Medical School. During the war he served as a captain in the Army Medical Corps. Dr Wright is president of the North Harlem Medical Society. Tarrytown Woman Killed By Auto Tarrytown, N.

Fiske, second vice-president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, New York City, has issued an order requiring Metropolitan offices in the Oranges, Bloomfield and other places contiguous to Newark, to discontinue the recently announced arrangement by which colored policy holders who pay premiums at the office to travel to Newark to make such payments. This action was taken by Mr. Fiske following protests by Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange, and G. B. Darby, editor Newark Herald, as published in Thu New York Age of November 24, and after Mr. Fiske had had a conference with James Welden Johnson and William T. Andrews, secretary and special legal assistant, respectively, of the N. A. A. C. P. Celebrate Golden Wedding Anniversary Newport, R. I.—In the presence of a large family of children and grandchildren the Rev. and Mrs. Henry N. Jeter were "re-united in Newport" on December 24 at the No Segregation Policy. Before this, Mr. Fiske had sent a long letter to Editor Darby, denying that it was a policy of the Metropolitan Co. to enforce segregation in the collection of insurance premiums. This letter was published in The Age of December 15. In his conference with Messrs. Johnson and Andrews, Mr. Fiske exhibited a courteous manner and was positive in his assertion that the condition complained of was unauthorized and was given by some under officer in the Orange office, and that he would immediately issue a countermanding order. Further, said Mr. Fiske, a special representative from the New York office would be sent to New Jersey to enforce the order. An Illegal Policy. The order complained of required oil colored policy holders who had been paying their premiums at their local offices to come to Newark to a particular office to which, it was said, no white policy holders were required to come. The order issued by Mr. Fiske, following the protests of Dr. Alexander and Mr. Darby, included a statement that it is illegal for any officer of the company at Bloomfield or in the Oranges to refuse to accept these premiums. Policy holders in these communities who have been forced to come to Newark will be saved considerable financial expense and the useless loss of considerable time by the enforcing of the order issued by Second Vice-President Fiske. It is pointed out by Dr. Alexander that if no complaint had been made and protest registered thousands of Negro policy holders in New Jersey would have been put to needless inconvenience and expense.

C., Observer, in commenting editorially upon the Survey of Negro Business which has just been completed by the National Negro Business League, says: "Booker Washington, founder of the famous Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama, had two particular alms in life. One was to set up the Negro as a home-owner; the other was to set him up in business. In both directions much progress has been made under faithful prosecution of these policies by Dr. Moton, the successor to Washington. The Institute has promoted business enterprises by Negroes through operation of the National Negro Business League, and a recent "survey" of 3,000 business enterprises in 36 cities and 15 States, develops encountering report.

Ross, as attorney, has won a sweeping victory in the matter of restraining the Hiram Grand Lodge, York Rite Masons, from doing business in Colorado. The injunction restrains the defendants from using the word "Mason," and from wearing or displaying any guns, emblems or insignias used by the plaintiff, or any other masonic order. Another legal case of interest to Denverites was the victory gained by Attorney E. P. Blackmore who saved the Colorado Springs property of Mrs. Rosa Parks, located in a so-called white neighborhood, from sale on a foreclosure proceeding by Deputy Public Trustee C. H. Smith. Attorney Blackmore charged a conspiracy to Darius Allen and the State Realty Co., the object "of which was to deprive the plaintiff of her rights. He referred also to the burning of a Ku Klux Klan cross in the neighborhood as a means of intimidation because of the race of Mrs. Parks. The District Court of Colorado Springs promptly granted the injunction asked for. Cleveland Preparing For Baptist Meeting Cleveland, Ohio.

ROYALI. 21 West 134th Street From the office of the Commission on Race Relations, Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, has just been issued an interesting and suggestive pamphlet of information for use on Race Relations Sunday. February 10, 1929. "From a small beginning in 1922 said Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on Race Relations, "the idea has spread through Home Mission Boards, Y. M. C. A.'s, Y. W. C. A.'s, thousands of local churches and their auxiliary societies, and many social agencies. We feel that the widespread recognition of Race Relations Sunday is having a great influence in bringing about a better spirit of cooperation and understanding between the various racial groups in the United States and hope the seventh annual observance of the Sunday in 1929 will mark an even more general advance in interracial cooperation. Racial Pulpit Exchanges The first part of the pamphlet is devoted to suggestions for the observance of the day by churches and other agencies. Among these are exchange of pulpits by white and Negro ministers, visits of choirs, joint interracial meetings of young people's societies, special programs—in women's groups, radio announcements and addresses, special issue of church papers and feature stories in the local press. Following such suggestions is material on Negro life and conditions, on the American Indians and on the Mexicans in the United States. The Negro section depicts the movement of this group from rural districts to urban centers, gives information on employment and kinds of occupations, and in a striking way points out evidences of progress and contribution to American culture which are being made by this group Cultural Development The Negro Spirituals are widely known and sung, but the public does not generally know that Harry T Burleigh, Samuel Coleridge Taylor, R. Nathaniel Dett, and other Negroes have produced art compositions widely used, often by musicians who do not know the race of the composers. While Negro writers cannot yet be said to have produced a literature, substantial contributions to poetry and prose have been made by such writers as Paul Lawrence Dunbar, James Weldon Johnson, William Stanley Braithwaite and Counter Cullen Recent developments in the production of fine arts by Henry O. Tanner, Laura Wheeler Waring, Meta Warrick Fuller, May Howard Jackson, and others point the way to high achievement in the fields of painting and sculpture. The fact that a piece of sculpture was exhibited in the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, D.C., and favorably received, but removed upon the discovery that the artist was of colored blood, is a significant comment on the barriers and handicaps of color.

He will return after Christmas and make a survey of state colleges in Georgia, Florida and Alabama. Survey of Negro Education Made By Staff of Experts Gives Ranking Of High Grade to W.Va.Coll.Institute By A. WASHINGTON Institute, W. Va.—No and administered in the nations of the country, is no and probably the most criticism to which it has Institute, W. Va.—Negro education, as found and administered in the publicly controlled institutions of the country, is now undergoing the severest and probably the most complete investigation and criticism to which it has been subjected. Federal and State authorities alike are focusing attention upon the very vitals of higher education among Negroes, in the effort to measure the development and progress of the group, and to determine with some degree of assurance whether the educational strikes of these schools are keeping abreast with the radically changing economic and social order In speaking of this Negro school Dr. Judd on his report says, "This institution is one of the best state colleges for colored students in the United States. It has an excellent physical equipment and it has a vigorous and efficient administration." The report criticised the heavy loads carried by instructors in some Made On Survey Plan. This exhaustive investigation has been conducted on the survey plan, the questionnaires being followed up and checked by personal visitations by members of the survey staff. Statistics were combed reports reviewed, and data compared by these experts before conclusions were reached and before recommendations were made. Two such surveys have been completed at the West Virginia College Institute; a third is in progress. The most significant investigation in which the West Virginia College Institute participated was that of the educational survey of the institutions of higher learning in West Virginia, conducted by an expert staff under direction of Dr C H Judd, or the School of Education University of Chicago The Survey Personnel. Associated with Dr. Judd was the following perennial J C Brown, president State Teacher's College, De Kalb, III N H. Dearborn, New York State Department of Education; F W Reeves, University of Kentucky; G A. Works, dean of Library Science at Chicago University, and G F. Zook, president Akron University, Akron, Ohio. The organization and administration of the institution was critically studied, the financial operations carefully checked, and student accounting meticulously observed. So surpassed was the staff at finding in Virginia such a progressive Wero, that it paid little attention taking in its effort to provide a thorough and expert compilation of data from which to draw its conclusions and by which its recommendations could be made.

It has an excellent physical equipment and it has a vigorous and efficient administration." The report criticised the heavy loads carried by instructors in some departments and advised the en- forcement of standards regarding the election of courses by freshmen and upper classmen. It was found that many juniors and seniors were electing courses of elementary nature instead of choosing advanced courses in their respective fields of concentration. The survey staff recommended that the institution should have a number of additions to its physical plant. In this connection it advised the adoption of a seven-year building program for the proper expansion of the school.

When she saw me a little later in the day, the dinner as a whole was mentioned casually, but one simple little salad was lauded to the skies. It merely consisted of part of a tomato, a little fruit and a lettuce leaf, plus the usual dressing, but because it was a novelty to the dinner it made more impression than the soup, entree, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, vegetables, dessert and coffee combined. "The chef had slit open about a third of a small tomato" she remarked, "and inserted a little segment of grapefruit and one of orange in the slit. It was the most novel and tasty little thing I have seen for years." Very simple. Very common to many who are accustomed to this salad, perhaps, but to that particular diner it was the principal item of the meal—because of its novelty. If the average housewife could but realize the impression that such little novel dishes make upon the members of the family and upon the guests, she would seek them everywhere and at all times. Unfortunately it is so easy to get into a rut. A few slices of tomato are so easy to drop upon a crisp lettuce leaf, that many families use this combination as a salad almost exclusively. Any one of a dozen common foods could be added to the tomato, or groups of tomatoes, for the purposes with little if any extra expense, but we fail to go to this trouble. Our salad becomes as common as our mashed potatoes, or our piece of bread and butter, and what should be a tasty bite becomes nothing but a side-dish that no one thinks a great deal of or misses it if it fails to appear. From soup to pie the spirit of novelty may be injected. Instead of serving the same soup that you have served for years, go to a little trouble and serve something that has not appeared upon your table recently. Instead of serving mashed potatoes, serve French fried. Instead of serving spinach in a deep dish, serve it on a platter, attractively garnished with slices of lemon. Instead of serving a plain pumpkin pie for dessert, inject a little novelty into the meal by serving, say, an orange pumpkin pie. This is easily made, although it does take a little longer than some desserts. Here is the recipe for one pie of generous size: Orange Pumpkin Pie 1-3 tablespoon ginger 1-3 tablespoon cinnamon ¼ cup water. ¼ cup strained pumpkin 2 eggs, well beaten ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup evaporated milk, scaled. 2½ tablespoons orange juice. ¾ cup brown sugar. Make a smooth paste of the spices and water. Add this to pumpkin with sugar, eggs and salt. Stair to blend thoroughly, then add hot milk and orange juice. Cook mixture over hot water until thoroughly heated—about 5 minutes. Pour into deep pie tins lined with pastry.

J.—David Ware, 50 years old, is under close guard in Merce County jail, following his arrest on Sunday night at Cartaret on the charge of having murdered State Trooper Peter Gladyes, 22, a rookie attached to Troop C, Wilburtha Barracks, who had arrested him on a complaint made by Mra. Nancy Keaton, 37, with Ware had been living in a cabin near Robbinsville, who charged the man with having mistreated her.

Nancy Keaton, 37, been living in a cabin near Rob the man with having mistrea occurred on Friday night After placing Ware under arrest, Gladyes took him and the woman into a touring car, preparatory to taking his prisoner to Highstown, when Ware, enraged at Mrs. Keaton, who is the mother of six children, struck her. The officer ordered him to stop, and then, it is alleged, Ware whipped out a razor and almost severed Gladyes head from his shoulders. Takes Officer'a Pistol. Taking the officer's service pistol and belt, containing thirty-six rounds of ammunition, Ware plunged into the woods alongside the Robbinsville-Windor road, followed by the woman, who was screaming for help. He soon outdistanced her, however, and she finally sought refuge in the home of friends. She was taken into custody as a material witness. Gladys's body was found soon afterward by two passing motorists Harry Newell of Mercerville and the Rev J. Lawrence Pitt, pastor of the Greenwood Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church of Trenton The chase started almost immediately. It was organized at first by Capt William Nical, commander of the Witburth Barracks, and as the news spread throughout the countryside armed civilians volunteered and automobile loads of them were sent in various directions Later Col H Norman Schwartzkopf, head of the New Jersey State Police, arrived at the scene and personally took charge. He directed operations throughout the night and worked all day Saturday, refusing along with his men, to stop even hourly for rest periods. Blimp and Planes Aid At midday Sunday morning the navy blimp J.3, at the request of Col Schwartzkopf, came from the Lakehurst hangar and cruised over the thick woods where the Negro was believed to be hiding; but because of the poor visibility it was unable to report any progress. Two airplanes, carrying troopers equipped with powerful field glasses, sweoped and circled also without result. Meanwhile, bloodhounds had been brought from the troopers' training school and took up the scent, but because of the many conflicting traits of those who had tramped back and forth through the woods, the dogs soon became bewildered. Later the animals were returned to their kennels and Ware's neighbors recalled that in boosting of previous crimes he told how he had included dogs by stuffing his pockets with quinces. Bilious Spells DIZZINESS RELIEVED "I suffered with severe billous attacks that came on two or three times each month," says Mr. J. P. Nevins, of Lawrenceburg, Ky. "I would have dizziness and couldn't work. A neighbor told me of Theodford's Black-Draught and I began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. I would not be without it for anything. "It seemed to cleanse my whole system and made me feel like new. I would take a few doses—get rid of the bile and have my usual clear head, feel full of 'pep' and could do twice the work." Sold by all druggists. Try it. Get a package today. 25 cents. Thefdords BLACK-DRAUGHT Purify Vegetable Find Pistol Holster. Ware, a West Indian, was known as a hunter and trapper, and police took his own hunting dog, part hound, and turned him lose in the woods hoping he would seek his master in territory familiar to both of them. The animal sniffed about for a while and then refused to make any further moves. The blood-stained holster of the pistol the Negro took was found in some brush Saturday afternoon about half mile from the scene of the crime. At about the same time Mrs. Ernest Lockett, a Negro, who lives in a small house in the woods, said she saw Ware passing her home about 1 p. m. She knew the man and was able to identify him, but until the police told her she did not know he was wanted for murder. Three Suspects Arrested Three suspects were arrested Saturday, two in New Jersey and one by Pennsylvania State troopers near Fallingston, Pa. The last suspect was released after being questioned, and late last night it was said neither of the others was Ware. Gladyes was unmarried and lived in Netcong, Morris County, with his mother and sister. He was graduated from the high school there in 1926, and had been a State trooper since last June. Captured at Cartaret The capture was made at Cartaret, where Ware had taken refuge, on Sunday night, climaxing one of the most exciting manhants in Jersey's history. He was immediately arraigned before County Detective James Kirkham, sitting as a Justice of the Peace, and placed in Mercer County jail A guard of State policemen accompanied the automobile bringing him to Trenton. Prosecutor Charles H English is in charge of plans for his prosecution A close guard is being kept on the jail. Prosecutor English said the case would be the first to be presented to the new Grand Jury, which will be empanelled January 8 He added there seems no reason for "undue haste" in the prosecution. Trial will probably be started a few days after an indictment is returned Wanted to Kill Woman Ware was questioned until early hours Monday morning by Prosecutor English, Detective Kirkham and Capt. William O. Nicol of the State police. Police officers quoted him as saying he regretted he didn't have a chance to slay Mrs. Pansy Keaton, widow, and that the killing of Gladey was because the officer interfered when the attempt to kill the woman was made in the car Harmon Foundation Awards Announced (Continued From First Page) about twents years of painstaking research and is considered comprehensive and authoritative His Negro year Books are used both in America and abroad as reliable records Only Bronze Award In Music John M.

THE NEW YORK AGE "Ayokas," Young Matrons' Club, Entertains Large Party On New Year's Eve --- The "Ayokas," a group of young married women, contributed to the gayeties which celebrated the incoming of the New Year in Harlem by holding a New Year's Eve reception and dance at the Madam Walker's Studio, Dark Towers, on Monday evening and Tuesday morning. The reception, which began at 10:30 on New Year's Eve, and lasted until 3:30 in the morning was what might be called a "Whang Doochi." While the members of the club served their guests, numbering close to three hundred with black-eyed peas—which is a belief with Southern residents of good luck when served to New Year's Day—ham, potato salad and rice, their husbands assisted by serving "whoopee" between these courses "Whoopee" is the latest term for anything stronger than tea. When the last dish of peas was served and the last drop of "whoopee" dispensed, the members, with their husbands journeyed down, in a body to the home of the late Dr. J.

Pace president of Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J. Mr. Pace makes a simple but clear analysis of the value of human life expressed in dollars and cents and the replacement value when death occurs. Some of his conclusions are interesting to our race group particularly in that they show that as a group we have placed too low a value on life and when our earning stops by death all the wealth that might have been created is lost. The result is that we are not getting richer as a race at the rate we should. An illuminating paragraph from the article is as follows: Prospects At 30 "At 30 a man earning $2,500 a year is worth in terms of human capital $48,562. This man has an expectation of life of 36,87 years, which means that the average of his group and kind will live nearly 37 years longer. He will earn around $69,000 during the remainder of his life, and after deducting his future personal expenses and the commuted value of his earnings his present replacement worth is $48,562. "Some interesting figures have also been computed as to the value of age to age 18, when he becomes af age to age 18, when he becomes self-supporting. At birth that boy's life is worth $9,333 and this value goes up in an ascending scale until at 18 the human capital value of his life is $28,654. "The cost of rearing a child from birth to eighteen will total $2,288. The cost of being born amounts to $250, while food, clothing and shelter during the period amount to nearly $6,000 more. And these figures include the cost of education—by charging into "shelter" the taxes which we pay either as owners or tenants and which go into the community cost of education' Illustrative Graphs The article is illustrated with graphs showing the relatives proportion of income that should go into life insurance and other essentials of life. It is also accompanied by a list of 194 men who carry more than One Million Dolloars of life insurance on their lives. The article which was accepted by the editors of Forbes during the summer was purposely released during the week of December 15th because of the number of insurance conventions being held in New York during that week, the most notable being the Association of Life Insurance Presidents and the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners The article has attracted wide attention and comment from insurance periodicals. As a result Mr. Place has been requested to do an article for the Newark Sunday Call of January 6th and for two other magazines or general circulation. The Southern Workman published at Hampton Institute will release in an early number from an article from his pen "The Reaction of the Negro to Life Insurance." Following the Marriage, the woman recital at Carnegie Hall, evening, Mr. and Mrs. J. Brown of 310 West 127th street, terminated at an informal meeting in honor of Miss Marie J.

After the morning lesson and prayer led by the pastor, Dr. A. C. Garner, the sermon hour was given over to the theme "The Gospel of Thrift."

Sunday school convened at 1:15 p.m. The Gracondis Club convened at 1:30 p.m. The evening service was in charge of the pastor, Dr. A. C. Garner. There was a special serenity, installation and communion. The twilight service on Christmas morning was attended by a small but appreciative number of the congregation. The service consisted of an organ prelude by the organist Hego O. Bornn; prayers by the Rev. Calvin A. Lane and James T. Payne, who was also in charge of the service; remarks by the pastor; and carol singing by the congregation. The Christmas exercises were held on Wednesday evening. There was an interesting program in which the members of each class took a part. The kindergarten class, of which Mrs. Elizabeth H. Davis is teacher, recited poems and sang a song of her own composing. There were gifts for the children, and ice cream, and the little ones were unanimous in their thanks to W.

The Wife man of the East were J. J. Preint, Charles S. Evans and Edgar N. Parks. After the passing of this came the sermon by the pastor, Dr. A. C. Garner which was full of advice and helpful thoughts for the New Year. After the sermon there were prayers of hope and gratitude by W. Herbert King and Rev. Christine Lane.

Pains are well under way: the Every Member Canvas which joins January 13. Ef. Olivet Baptist Church There was a large attendance at Mr. Owiet Baptist Church, Sunday morning, December 30. The pastor, Rev. W. P. Hayes, selected for his text, Philippians 3.13 "But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which I are behind and reaching forth into those things which are before" Subject, "The Art of Forgetting". The theme of his discourse was the disadvantage of carrying excess baggage of petty animosity, false delusions, envy and a pessimistic outlook and the advantage of forgetting things that are unpleasant; letting the dead berry to die, in order to face a bright future. The lesson presented in this sermon was very inspiring. Rev Hayes as request of Miss Josephine Hall, presented a gift of Miss Maggie Miner. It was given by Club, No. 2, of which Miss Miner is president. The funeral of Stater Lester Johnson, whose husband died this summer, was held at her home, 103-26 169th street, Jamaica, I. 1. The two Phil. classes met at 1:30 p.m. The subject of the funeral is "Who is a Messenger?" As the 42 quest of the president, Miss Burke, the tople was opened by Mrs. L. Colman. It was announced that the Philathea Bible Class will serve omer, Sunday, January 5. It was Junior Day in the B. Y. P. U. services and the program was very interesting. It was inspiring to look upon the white abel B. Y. P. U. choir and their march at the close of the service, singing "On Night." Mrs. Willie Mayes assisted the girls in singing their closing song. The audience seemed to appreciate the nurturing efforts of Mrs. Annette Collins and a contribution of $8 was raised to buy more robes for her choir. The president of the Senator B. Y. P. U. Charles Allison, put up a prize of $2 to be given to the three girls of the choir bringing in the largest number of friends to the services. The first prize will be $1, the two 50 cents each. Miss Grace Branch spoke and announced that she has moved up to 118th street. At the evening service, the pastor chose his text from Acts 4:14, "And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it." Subject, "The Unanswerable Argument." His theme was now truth stands out arguing its own case, and there can be no argument about a quiet christian life. It was announced that Miss Bessie Ewing of 119 West and street is very sick. The small containing the names of those who made gold contributions is now hanging in the lobby downstairs. It was nicely arranged by Mrs. R. G. Wallace. Thirteen people joined throughout the day and then was $16,000 collected. Refuge Church of Christ The Yuletide season and spirit is well with us, the entire Christian world has gradually weaved itself through the Christian holidays, leaving the Old Year in its steady march to be over taken by the infant 1924, and now they are to walk abreast with one another for 885 days. In order to bring more truth and to show suffering humanly better light upon the Word of God services at the Refuge Church of Christ will be held every night in the year of 1924 by the grace of God. The usual daily and nightly services will continue in 1924. The local missionaries conducted the services Monday, December 24th. Christmas Day was full of activities. Praise and awe service began at midnight Christmas love and continued until more. Christmas can be a song we sang by those who attended the all-night services. The echo in the carol singers pealed forth their sermon chimes at dawn in front of the church. "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praise unto the name, O Most High." Psalm 92. These were the words used by Laker James Manning for the test of his sermon at the Christmas morning services that were held in the church. Bishop and Father R. Lawson preached in the main auditorium Christmas night. Liber W. White, traveling evangelist from the Church of Christ Assisi, who has been recently carried in Harvard, Conn., but now traveling, administering in the work of an evangelist, spoke Wednesday evening in the chapel.

The pageant was directed by Mrs. Elizabeth Preston. The scenes for the play were arranged by Mr Preston, the musical director was Harry Baker. Friday evening, Elder W. G. White, the evangelist, preached a time's message to those that thoughed the multitude. "This saith the Lord. Set thine house in order for thou shalt die and not lure," Isaiah 38.1.

This was followed by the summer prayer meeting, lasting from 6 to 8:30 Sunday morning. Elder W. G. White preached from Matthew 21:34. Sunday morning, December 30. His message was illuminated with the words of the scripture translated in modern day language. It was intended primarily to believers as well as unbelievers. Little White also preached at the evening services to a packed auditorium, using Hebrews 12:1 as the text or subject of his discourse. His message opened the revival that it is to be conducted by Bishop R Lawson and his associates. The re WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH vital will last for an indefinite period.

Church As the New Year enters, we want to think of the splendid success of the work of the church during the year 1928. We are made of those heading Bards and auxiliaries who have worked to help maintain her standard as the leading church of the connection, thus we mention Chas Taylor, custodian of the trustee board, H. S. Clair Edwards, who for seven years has served as church clerk, Jas Ford and the splendid board of loyal stewards. Mr. Ford and Mr. Edwards are the oldest stewards on the board from the point of service, Mrs Laura Moore, Mrs Julia Brooks and George Kelly head the stewardesses. These women are consecrated to the work of the Master Mrs. Susie P. Putman, Mrs. Mary J. Davis, Miss Carrie Trauchs; Mesdames Amelia Wilson, Ida Johnson, Mary Hopkins, A. LeLene Howard and Knowles head organizations that have worked hard for the progress of Bethel. Jas. Crews is president of the Senior Male Usher's, William Simleton leads the Junior Usher's, Clarence Bohning had a tremendous success as superintendent of the Church school, Ernest Hebbons, president of the A. C. L. L., is an uniting worker for Bethel, Samuel Westfield deserves much credit for the wonderful growth of the Lyvum, whose splendid programs have delighted martyrs. The chair, under leadership of Joseph Vandervall, is a most valuable asset to the service. He is well qualified as director. Among the students who have contributed much to the services we have Mrs. Lucile Ford Jones, Misses Dora Thompson, Pearl Green, Evee Young and Lotte Bryant, and Messrs. Clarence Overton Lankers, Joseph Might and Edward Sewell Bethel has made its contribution to the needy sick of the community through the Spearman Memorial Clinic Miss Anne Sanders, daughter of the pastor, has show kindness to those who visit the parsonage, who the hearts of the membership, and whom here if a delightful hostess. Rev. A. L. Schalyer is a spiendid help in conducting overflow services. The pastor has been most successful during his pastorate. He has wrought well a splendid man, a gravel preacher. He enjoys the confidence of his membership. Bethel is enjoying a season of prosperity and peace. We come now to the beginning of another year. Let us during the festival that is to be conducted for three weeks, beginning January 2 by Mrs. Emily Christian Kunch, who is a splendid speaker, renew our allegiance to the cause. Let every member strive for the honor roll and work for God's Zion. Rev A. L. Wilson, presiding elder, preached a stirring sermon, Text Daniel 6.20, Theme, "Deliverance." Last Sunday there were many accessiones. At 4 p.m. the pastor, Dr. Sanders, preached a beautiful sermon to the women of the N. Y. City Federation. 8 p.m. Dr. Sanders spoke to the Bethel Beneficial League. The sermon was most appropriate and greatly enjoyed by all present. theme, "The Mildness of Time" was ally discussed. The pastor received numerous gifts from the various boards and individuals. St. Paul Baptist Church After 35 years of existence, St. Paul closes the greatest year of its whole history. Selling its property at 352 West 35th street, January 1928, it purchased the properties at 249-51 West 32nd street, and, having demolished them, had erected thereon a new modern church edifice in every sense of the word. The builders began in April, the corner stone was laid in June, and the building completed in September. Every thing about the building is new, including a one Moller pipe organ placed in a chamber specially built for it. The main auditorium, with galleries all round, has a seating capacity of 800, the lecture room seats 200, with every modern equipment for activities of the young people; a modern kitchen, furnished with all the latest devices for service, adopts the dining room, entrance to which is through swinging doors, and lets everything that goes to make an up-to-date place for serving meals is to be found; a rest room for ladies with kitchenette, and other conventions, is at hand, so that members who desire may take their rest without returning to their homes; all these things are in the basement. Upstairs, will be found a beautiful baptistery, off from which are dressing rooms for male and female candidates for baptism; the church office, the pastor's study with every thing that makes up a study; off from the choir loft, which has pews to seat 30 persons, are robing rooms for the members of the choir. Thus, it will be seen that St. Paul is equipped for service as never before. After the church had goose its limit in the matter of equipment, Mrs Lours Greer, a splendid white friend, came on the scene, and turned her heart and hand to making things more comfortable. She has made herself responsible for vases for the altar, tables for these vases, plate for the offerings, portiere for the front of baptis ery, carpet for the pulpit and rugs for the pastor's study; and then, just before Christmas Day, she was on hand with wreath, candy for the children, and ice cream for everybody. This then, has been a very remarkable Christmas for the people of St. Paul. The usual Watch Night services were held on Monday night, and there will follow a week of prayer preparatory for the revival meetings to begin Monday night, January 7 and continue thence for the next ten nights with D. Jeltz, the singing-musician, assisting the pastor. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church Presiding Elder George R. Coverdale of the Brooklyn District was the preacher at the morning hour. It was the third quarterly meeting day and the church was filled to capacity. Dr Coverdale prefaced his sermon with a talk of his work on the district and explained that because of very pressing engagements on the district he had been prevented from being here before on quarterly meeting day. He spoke of this church as being one of the outstanding ones in the A. M. E. connection. He also lauded Dr. Tyler as being one of the connection's outstanding characters. His text was Psalms 119.59-60. The cardinal points of the sermon were (1) Many people think about the ways of other people and find fault with them, but never take time to think and meditate on their own ways. We must be like the Psalmist David, think on our ways and not stop at that but set when we find that they are not right. (2) We must relieve ourselves of our animal nature and surrender ourselves to God, and let God in on our program of life in all things, for this is the only way that we can inherit eternal life. (3) To do this requires faith, patience and hope in God. In the afternoon the Sunday school met. It was review day and it was conducted by the superintendent, John D. Nikon. The session was largely attended. At 6:30 the Allen Christian Endeavour League held a very enthusiastic meeting Dr. S. S. Morris, general secretary of the league, was present and gave a very interesting talk. He will preach each evening at the services of conservation which began December 13 and will last until January 9. At the evening hour Bishop Monroe H. Davis was the speaker. The bishop's sermon centered around "The Dirine Government." Prior to the sermon he offered a fervent prayer, part of which was for the speedy recovery of Mrs. Adah Tyler wife of our beloved pastor. The text was Deteronter 192. Bishop Davis stressed the following points in his sermon. In the divine government there are three elements. One is the disturbing element. God disturbs us. This is in order that we may make progress. This progress must be methodical. The divine government is a theory and is methodical. mon with A viridely powerful Judgement and the heavenly wrinkles and the conditions surrounding the throne of God. This part of the sermon gripped the large congregation and aroused them to a large measure of religious fervor. Bishop and Mrs. Davis will call for West Afrika on January 4. He goes there to superintend the work of his church. He also has the Kentucky area under his episcopal supervision. Quarterly conference was held on Monday night. Presiding Elder G. R. Coverdale presided. The reports showed that the church has made marked spiritual and temporal advances under the leadership of Dr. Tyler since the last quarter. This was followed by Watch Night services. Dr. S. S. Morris, general secretary of the Allen C. E. League was the speaker. The annual election will take place on January 7. Siloam Presbyterian Church The Christmas spirit has prevailed throughout the entire church at Siloam, Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, beginning with the Christmas Sunday. Sunday morning the chour, under direction of William A. White, organist-director, again rendered the beautiful Christmas choral service. Never before has the choir sang so well as at this time, augmented by Mass Anna Mae Sutton, at the piano and Donald K. Taylor, with violin. Mrs. Edith M. Cody rendered most feelingly "Ave Maria" by Gounod. The pastor took occasion at this service to extend thanks and appreciation for the labors of love and service given by the church membership during the year and to make expression that the church was coming nearer, because of the successful campaign just put over, by several years to adequately discharge its duty to the neighborhood in which it was located; that the coming year would be the crowning year of grace culminating in the 80th anniversary celebration. The Rev. M. Morris was the pulp guest at this unhappy hour of worship and took part in the service. Arthur L. Jackson, a young man active and successful in work among boys and also a member of School told briefly of his work at the Utopia Neighborhood House, New York City, to which work he has been recently appointed. It tomes directly under the supervision of the Children's Aid Society. The Bible school met at 1.15 p.m. The school held its exercises last Thursday evening. An interesting program was presented and gifts were given to all pupils. Many special exercises are to be introduced this year in the Bible school, among them, brief expressions by a member or members of the Young Men's class of what the Bible school means to them in their own experiences. Friday evening a party was held in the Parish House by the pupils of the upper grades. A happy time was spent. Mr. Jackson, former superintendent, was present and extended greetings. Berean Baptist Church Sunday being the last one in the year, Rev. S. T. Eldridge delivered two wonderful sermons. The morning sermon was forceful and practical and greatly enjoyed by all. Rev. Eldridge took his text from Hebrew 4th chapter and the 15th verse, subject, "Sympathetic High Priest." Some of the things noted were that man has pity on you when you first get in trouble but soon it turns to hatred, while God always has pity on His children, when they are sad, and when they are happy. It makes no difference because we are His and He promised never to leave us alone. Fifteen joined church, three, as candidates for baptism which will be held the first Sunday in the new year, January 6.

Goines was a member on the varsity football team playing halfback and is also on the varsity basketball quitter. He has played in five basketball games, so far, and has made 58 field goals and a total of 130 points. He is also the school billard champion. Despite his activities in athletics, he has managed to maintain a scholastic average of P. Tuskager Institute, Ala.-College of the Southeastern Conference figured in one of the most interesting seasons in the history of the game. No college can look back upon its record without finding one or more snirches, a sure indication that the teams were more evenly matched than in any previous season. Such a condition naturally provides more interest than ever before, and all games were well attended. The Conference did not pick a champion team. On the whole, Intercollegiate football among Colored Colleges in the South is of as good quality, no doubt, as that played in any part of the country. The coaching of the teams is getting better each year, and without question the play is improving from the standpoint of sportsmanship among players and spectators. The players have also mastered the technique to intricate systems of play. Despite the bittersweet of the Conference struggles, and the interest which surrounded them, the intersection clash between Tuskegee and Wilberforce all live long in the memory, and one who witnessed one of the most nerve-tracking games ever played in the South Tuskegee scored in the second quarter, when Stevenson intercepted Wilberforce pass and ran 86 yards for a touchdown. As the game went along with a minute and thirty-second possession of the ball on its twelve yard line it looked as if the Tiger would win; there was a fumble, Wilberforce recovered. Three plays at the line, ten seconds left to play. The fourth try and the point of the ball was on the line Wilberforce missed the try for point - score - Tuskegee 6, Wilberforce 6. In another intersectional game on importance, Howard University defeated Atlanta University 13 to 7. It was another of the characteristic struggles between these eleven. An over-anxious youngster, who did not keep both feet in the end zone on a pass probably cost Atlanta University a tie if not victory. Another intersectional game of note was the Langston-Alabama State game played in Crampton Bowl. Mississippi, Alabama. This game was bitterly contested. A Langston back found a hole in the left side of Alabama State's line and slipped over for the winning touch-down in the last four minutes of play. Tuskegee, because of its past history, and looked upon as being among the strongest teams in the country, was watched closely Clark University defeated Tuskegee 12 to 9, making this the first defeat suffered by the boys from the plans of Alabama in six years. Tuskegee tied Knoxville College 0 to 0, and the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, the 1927 C.I.A. A. Champions, 7 to 7, defeated Florida A. & M Fisk was defeated 13 to 7 and on the following Saturday Morehouse host to the Tigers 20 to 0. Knoxville College fell in a return exhibition game that had no bearing on conference rating, 15 to 0. Alabama State Normal again battling desperately played Tuskegee to a 6-0 tie in Cramton Bowl Montgomery. Alabama. Talladega was defeated 21 to 0. The 54th renewal of Atlanta University-Tuskegee football was won by Tuskegee 10 to 7. Thus Tuskegee has completed the remarkable record of 60 games played in six years with only two games in the lost column. Clark University, coached by the old Northwestern star, Sam Taylor, was strong, presenting a whirlwind forward pass attack and battling defense. They were at the top of their game against Tuskegee, sending the Tigers to their first defeat in six years, 13 to 9. However, in the big drive for a victory over Atlanta they lost, the other team was unsuccessful, finishing the battle on the short end of 6 to 4 for Florida A & M was defeated 6 for 0, Morhouse 7 to 6, and Miles Memorial 21 to 0. In the final game of the season Clark looked great against the Alabama State Normal team sending the Hornets down in overwhelming defeat, 28 to 0. W H. (Big Chief) Aiken, coaching his seventh Atlanta University team turned out another great eleven Atlanta University race along thru the season up to the final game with Tuskegee, losing only to Howard University 13 to 7, and being held to a 7-7 tie by her traditional rival Morris Brown. A victory over the 24th Infantry and wins over Alabama State Normal, Talladega, Morehouse and Clark had naturally raised the hopes of the red and grey for a similar result against Tuskegee. However the 5-4 line weakened under the ter-5-4 line crashing of the Tiger line, and Tuskegee won 10 to 7, with Tuskegee with a desire to handle the 8,000-who STARS AS ALPHA FIVE DEFEATS OMEGA AT ROCKLAND PALACE Baseball League May Be Reorganized At Philadelphia Meeting Philadelphia, Pa—Another reorganization of the Eastern Colored Baseball League will be attempted here on January 15, when owners of leading colored team will meet for their annual pow vow. The meeting was called by Edward Bolden, who organized the original Eastern Colored League, and it will take place at the Citizen's Republic club The following club owners have already signified their intention of being present. Alexander Pompex of the Cuban Stars, James Keenan of the Lincoln Giants, Cum Posey of the Homestead Grays, George Rossiter at the Baltimore Black Sox and the Nutter of the Bacharach Giants, Harrisburg, Pa. will also be represented, although the team which formerly represented that city was disbanded last year. Mr. Biden will represent the Hilldale Club. In the league is reorganized in time for the 1929 season, it is likely that the Homestead Grays will take up the franchise formerly held by the Brooklyn Royal Giants, as Nat Strong, owner of the Brooklyn team, has let it be known that he is no longer interested in colored baseball. Coach Henderson Johnson of Fisk University again turned out a remarkable team, losing only to Tuskegee 13 to 7 in the Conference and an intersectional game to Howard University 7 to 0 at Washington, D. C. Fisk had the best line in the Conference until not star tackle Coleman was injured in the Tuskegee game. The Bull Dogs defeated Talladega 12 to 0. Knoxville College 21 to 7, Tennessee: State 12 to 0, and Miles Memorial College 40 to 0. Fisk has splended material for the year and has increased her number of Conference games. Knoxville College coached for the time by O. Hawkins a Kroos and Chicago a College graduate had the best season in recent years. Knoxville lost to Fisk, tied Tuskegee, Clark and Talladega in the Conference and Wilberforce University out of the Conference with from Brown 19 to 13 and Tennessee State 1 to 0 Coach Jason Vaughan State Normal Hornets were well versed in the fundamentals of the game, fast tricks, clever pass and possessing a great kicker. They rose to their highest in the 60 game with Hushegger. That day the Hornets played unicable football. Against Atlanta University, the Alabama State Normal team played real football but Atlanta knocked the extra point finished on the one end of a team. We again teamed the team dolle finisher the Nacaroon won 25 to 0. The Claymore found the Hornets at a jitter, and no match for the Panther-Clark won 28 to 0. The Hornets dueted a tideade 18 to 0. Miles Memorial College to 24 to 0. Tennessee State to 0. and Florida 0. Miles 0 to 0. Morris Brown with her old Lassie Dr. Canada, a former Merris Medical star back at the infrast Merris Brown lost to Metchow and Lincolnville College, defeated Floral A & M College, Tennessee State Normal Miles Memorial College and startled the Southern football world on Thanksgiving Day by playing Atlanta University to a 7-7 tie after being not conceded a possible chance against one of the finest Atlanta University teams in recent years. Morehouse College was hand-capped by a difficult schedule and weakened morale because of the very unfortunate death of a star player injured in practice. But under the leadership of B. T. Harvey, the team showed lots of fight and should be one of the toughest in the conference this year. The 24th United States Infantry was played to a 7-7 to Morris Brown defeated 6-0 to Alabama State 25 to 0. The Tigers lost to Clark 7 to 6, Atlanta 12 to 7, and Tuskegee 29 to 0. Howard beat Morehouse 7 to 0 in an interaction game. Bluefield also defeated the Tigers at Columbus, Ohip in another interpersonal game 40 to 0. Johnson C. Smith was detracted 19 to 13. Talladega College under W. H. Kindle did not enjoy the success that had been the lot of other Talladega elevenes of Kindle. The team was greet in the Atlanta game the Tornado waged a mighty battle against one of the best teams in the South but the secondary defense cracked in the last four minutes of and Atlanta University won 13 to 7. The Tornado defeated Miles 19 to 13, lost by Atlanta State Normal 13 to 9 Fok 12, and knocked Knoxville College 13 to 13, and on Thanksgiving Day Talladega fell before the determined onslaught at Tuskegee. Tennessee State also under a new coach regime and very little hold over material went thin after a divisional season losing all except one of its conference games. Harry Long former Mikkin star and coach of champion Paul Quinn team of 1924 is the new Tennessee State coach. The season in no way was taken as a reaction against Long's coaching ability, but seems that he is the Moses to lead them out of the football wilderness. Coach Byrd of Florida A & M College again had a fighting team but just could not win a Conference game. A lack of material, both Variety and reserve solely handicapped the Florida coach. Coach Ford, mentor of the Baby member of the Conference could not get his team going in face of the off competition encountered in all of the conference games. Miles did not Lynchburg, Va.—The basketball team of the Virginia Seminary and College is now-playing one of the heaviest schedules ever attempted by this institution.

Friends of Elsie Sequira, former cashier of the Lincoln Theatre, who is now serving an indeterminate sentence at the Bedford Reformatory, are seeking her release, declaring that she has been made the "goal" in the case. Raymond Snyder, former manager, was arrested at the same time with Miss Sequira and charged with grand larceny. According to Assistant District Attorney Henry Alexander, the colored girl was the chief witness for the state against Snyder. When she suddenly decided she would not testify against her former employee, she was brought the trial on a charge of petty larceny, and after conviction given an indeterminate sentence in Bedford Reformatory. Big Jump In Receipts. Despite Miss Sequira's refusal to testify, the assistant District Attorney stated that circumstantial evidence pointed clearly to innocence of Miss Sequira. His investigation, said Mr. Alexander, had disclosed the fact that receipts at the Lincoln Theatre jumped $1000 per week after Snyder was discharged. He also sound that although Snyder's salary was only $60 per week, he owned two expensive automobiles, valuable real estate in NJ Jersey and maintained several apartments in Harlem. she left Mr. Snyder in full charge. After his arrest he brought a counter action against Mrs. Downs in the civil court, charging libel. His action is still pending. It is believed, however, that it will not be brought to trial and was intended as an effort to bluff Mrs. Downs out of prosecuting Snyder. Coal Service Commissioner Perdmond Q. Morton represented the colored cashier at her trial and he is back in the movement to have her parole. Henry 1949, is the musical revue with which the Alhambra comedians and girls greet the new year.

The reviews, with two notable exceptions, were uniformly bad. And massac- ly as Mr Leslie had produced this co- trauganza in order to recoup a terrific monetary loss sustained in an endeavor to popularize a night club known as Des Ambassadeurs, where the high lights of this toddler were pleasant features, the blow made the unusually unperturtial producer winner. All he heard that day was "Too bad, Lew Sorry, to hear you have a flop." *Tew Leshe, however, was far from disheartened. It might be a flop to critics, he contended, but his experience as a showman convinced him he had a popular entertainment to show the public would buy. Several things had gone wrong the opening night and he set about adjusting these with celerity. An error in judgment—something, by the way, he retarded much quicker success in the opinion—brought the now famous "larger" starre in the opening spot of the act instead of the closing spot of the first act, as it now stands. This number, which quakes for one of the most talked of finales in New York of the opening night because it had been spotted wrong something for which Lew Leshe has not forgiven himself because he had followed the advice of friends in this move against his own judgment. None the less the damage was done, and Lew Leshe began rebuilding his show. What's the use of peeled the closest friends. The cities killed you. You can't build a show on Broadway any more. The competition is too keen. They either like your show or they don't like it. And besides you have no money to fight. And, indeed, he hadn't. But that was no deterrent to Lew Leshe. If he had no money he at least knew where his credit was good. So he set about assiduously to see what was wrong with Blackbirds. And, raggedly, outside, out of two weak comedy scenes, the extravaganza looked perfect to him. Tested out five new laugh skits before he found the two he wanted and quickly incorporated these in the revue. In the meanwhile, realizes that the scores of a colored show depends on pop, pop and dash. he ordered daily rehearsals and kept the clothes going at a pace that was reflected in the speed of all future performances.

Finally the tickets disappeared from Leblang's completely, a feat accomplished in recent years, most notably by 'Wbc's Irish Rose.' It might be well to record in this biography of a failure that was turned into a hit that Lew Leslie has not only recaptured phater losses he sustained early in the run of "Blackbirds," but has eked out sufficient to form a second company, which is now playing in Boston, a tact worth retailing not so much to relate how much money he has earned, but be cause never in the history, of the show business, has a producer or organized a second company to present a revue in exact replica of one current on Broadway. Which ought to be about enough proof that "Blackbirds" is one of the stupidest hits in town.

DAY, JANUARY 6, INCL) la Holiday Revue OF 1929 IN THE REALM OF MUSIC By LUCIEN H. WHITE MARIAN ANDERSON GIVEN OVATION AS SHE SINGS IN CARNEGIE HALL FIRST TIME FOLLOWING STUDY IN ENGLAND Making her first real appearance in New York since her return from a season of European study, Marilyn Anderson, contralto, was given a meeting at Carnegie Hall on Sunday evening, December 30, for the time a summed proposition of an ovation. And in return for her condolence of enthusiastic appreciation, the young cantatae gave of her poems art in a program of unusual interest and merit before a public audience. This was Mrs. Anderson's first concert in New York since the occasion of her memorable triumph at the City College Stadium in 1925 when she was selected from three hundred aspirants as the solitary to sing with the Philharmonic Orchestra, von Hoogstraten conducting, and there was much interest among the cognoscenti as to what development would be shown as result of her stay and study in the musical atmosphere of the Old World. One in the first discoveries by her admirers was that she is the same model, cool, calm and selfpossessed young woman she was prior to going to London. The only apparent change, if change it can be called, is an added assurance in the dispensation of her art, which brings to her interpretation the delightful sensation of fooling that this girl is singing for sheer love of singing, and that she is enjoying the contrast as much as any of her hozers. But there is evidence of a ripening of her powers, an access of graceful competency in vocal utterance, a greater power of technical control, which brings to her the ability to interpret her offerings with easeful facility and to exhibit in her art a more finished and colorful example of vocal emulation. With this development, however, there appears to this reviewer the possibility that this young woman has not yet attained the fullest reach of her vocal powers. This was evident in the group of German songs by Schubert, Strauss and Schumann. Her most notable work was in the Schubert's "Wigentilified," with its smooth and flowing cantabile, but by the same token it was in the Schubert "Die Allmacht" that she was least competent—not in tone color but in interpretative sounding of its majestic depths. Miss Anderson's voice is one that cannot be described through the machinery of plan words. It is of gorgeous and glorious quality, organ-like in its lower register, intriguing and entrancing in the mexico range, and thrillingly beautiful and boll-like in its upper reaches. And in the making of the program, her voice was given employment to best advantage in all its ranges. In the first group, her offerings included the recitative and aria, "When I am laid in earth," from Purcell's "Dido and Aenean," and Scarlatti's "Gia il sole del Gange," in Italian, and Martini's "Plasia damar" and the "Air de Lia" from Debussy's "L'Enfant Prodigud" in French. The Scarlatti number was particularly well done. Then came the German group, embracing the two Schubert numbers mentioned, together with a third, "Der Zwerg"; "Zucignung" by Strauss, and "Fruhlingenacht" by Schumann. After a brief intermission a group of English art songs was sung "Oh, that it were so" by Bridges was followed by "Night on ways unknown has fallen," by Griffes, a song displayed to full advantage the lustrous richness of Miss Anderson's lower tones. "Dream Valley" and "Love's Philosophy" by Quilter completed the group. The final offering was composed of four Spuruals, and many of the audience wave of the opinion that it was in these numbers that Miss Anderson's voice was displayed to best advantage Hall Johnson's arrangement of "Done found my lost sheep" was skillfully done, and Harry Burleigh's setting of "De Gospel Train" had to be repeated. two arrangements by Lawrence Brown, "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child" and "Dere's no hiding place down there" left the audience clamoring for more. In addition to repeating several of the programed numbers, the encores given included two popular favorites, sung in Miss Anderson's unmitable manner, "Danny Boy" and "Cuckoo." William L. King, the Philadelphia pianist who has long been associated with Miss Anderson's concert activities as accompanist, was at the piano. He had to play part of a church service in Philadelphia during the afternoon, then put a substitute at the organ console and rush by train to New York for this concert. This might have been the reason that his work fell somewhat short of his usual competency. There were several instances of undue roughness and of too much volume, notwithstanding the general atmosphere of sympathy usually evident in Mr. King's accompaniments.

Simpson, conductor, drew the largest audience at the current season to the Girls Junior High School, Edgecombe Avenue and 15th street, on December 30, when in addition to the splendid musical program, the organization had as a special guest and speaker Leastat Commissioner Charles C. Lockwood of Brooklyn, former State Senator, and a candidate in the recent election for Lieutenant governor of New York on the Republican ticket. Senator Lockwood came by invitation of Alderman Fred R. Moore, who is treasurer of the band's publicity committee, and his interest in the occasion was evidenced by the presence of Mrs. Lockwood and the symposium, who were intent and appreciative listeners to the playing of this fine band. Senator Lockwood was introduced to the audience by Alderman Moore who emphasized Mr. Lockwood's free donation from racial prejudice, and referred to his consistent friendship for the Negro. Senator Lockwood spoke briefly and subtitiously upon him as a cultural factor in the development of a people. The speaker was given an ovation at conclusion of his address incidentally, he gave hearty endorsement to the raising of a fund for providing free park concerts during the summer by Monarch Band, and declared that this organization of musicians should be given the sort of support that will enable them to carry the message of music to other houghts than Manhattan. He gave point to his argument in a plea: $25 to the fund. the musical program as arranged by Lestat Simpson contained all features of special interest. Two numbers, an intermezzo. In a Monastery Garden by Ketelby and a Mexican serenade, "Estellita" beats were not available in band arrangements, and so Lestat Simpson made the arrangements himself, bringing to the audience in both numbers creations of exceptional beauty and interest. Then the transcription of Balte's opera, "The Bohemian Girl," an English arrangement, required the rewriting of the sources for some eighteen in attempts to adapt it to the Monarch's instrumentation, and this was the most capably performed by the conductor. After the opening salute, the Star Spangled Banner, the band printed the marche. Ground and litho, and this was the end of the regular program for her last late summer, who wrote the score. The music was the Monarch's own, not all of its pieces beautiful. Monastery Garden played next was followed by the Pews written by George D. Di Morning, Ace's Death, "Ants and In the Hall of the Mountain King," and this number was used to advantage the versatility of the big band of wood and steel band and percussion instruments. The Bohemian Girl" transcription followed Senator Lockwood's Monetary Garden played next was followed by the Pet- erate by George "Dil Morning" Avis "Death" Anturr and "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and this number would to advantage the versatility of the big band of wood and staff and percussion instruments. The Bohnenleh Girl" transcription followed Senator Lockwood's and then came the ever-popular Sextet from "Lucia di Lam- and by Messrs Lunay McCarthy and Dominas tumpets by the full band. This was one of the high spots of the afternoon. The scenade, "Entrellita," was another enjoyable rendition, and then Dr. Lawrence J. Davenport, the urbane and capable master of ceremonies, then introduced Alderman Moore, who urged the people present to show race pride through support of the band, and called upon them to get away from disinterestedness in racial development. As a result of the appeal, the largest number of cash contributions and signed pledges received during the current season were turned in to Mr. Moore. The closing number, barring repetition of the opening march, was a descriptive number, "Russian Carriage Song," by Thoraton, splendidly done by the band. A list of ten standard overtures were printed on the programs, and the audience was asked to mark the selection of one of these numbers, requesting its rendition at the next concert on Sunday, January 27. Dr. Davenport stated that the overture for which the greatest number of requests were received would be played at that time, stating also that Lieut. Simpson would place two of the overtures on the program if the requests were of sufficient volume to indicate that such action would be appreciated The Summer Concert Fund Australian Moore, treasurer, makes for the fund for providing free open by the Monarch Band during the Previously acknowledged treasurer, makes the followin bridging free open air concerts and during the summer of 19 edged Australian Moore, treasurer, makes the following report as to status for the fund for providing free open air concerts in St. Nicholas Park by the Monarch Band during the summer of 1929: Previously acknowledged. $36.55 Cash, December 30 Mrs. Stevens, 2127 Madison avenue Blanche Jackson, 459 St. Nicholas a Mrs. Mamie F.

ACTIVFTIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Local 802 has been instrumental in saving in the pocket of each of its many members $4 per year. In a letter signed by Mr. Edward Cavan and Mr. M. S. Rauch, chairman and secretary, respectively, of the local, it is stated that a special meeting of the Government board was held with President Woll and Vice President Robbins of the Union Life Insurance Co. at which the operation and payment of death policies, during the first year of the group insurance plan was reviewed. An agreement for the renewal of the insurance was entered into with the representative yes of the Company. The police is not to Land tor reference but the second paragraph quoted above in got indicate that at the expiration to each insurance year another conference will be held. Some optimum insurers might look forward to a later reduction. Members are also advised to the letter that a refund will be made to those who had paid their dues in advance for 1920 and that the annual dues occurring January 1, will be $6.00 paid as before quarterly in advance. John Haywood has been playing violin at the Roosevelt about eight weeks. On Sunday night, Dec. 10, John moved to John's institution Don Bass and added to itself a librarian and guest instructor to the routine of playing and watching for corps. Adapting the music to suit the picture two changes a week is a skill of merit, but with a limited horizons it is very nearly a herculean task. Then came traction with the orchestra and the demanding of the manager for hearsale in the theatre after or before the house opened. John refused to make it casual then tendered his mother to sit at the expiration of his inducement to remain at a remit of the theatre.

Then, it is alleged, John offered to remain and make the rehearsals, which it is claimed, he never did; triee to fire a man, but was ignored by the manager; wrote a letter to the chairman of the local and apparently got no satisfaction. Meanwhile the manager, Mr. Shapiro, gave John notice which expired Sunday and closed his stormy career with the M & S. houses But John, now he is out, so the story goes, is going personally to the local, but to what purpose? Ask musicians. The odds are terrible when you are outside looking in. Arthur Trimmlingham started in December 31 at the Roosevelt. Joseph L. Meyers, 41 years old, died December 17, and was buried Friday, 21st. Joe died in Sea View Hospital, Staten Island. Joe was a banjo player and entertainer, and was well acquainted with his instrument. A Cief Club man, Joe left, here for Paris and remained there about four years returning to New York about two years ago, and since that time has been first chairman with Hughie Woolford, who knew and recognized Joe's ability and department on and off the job. Even after Joe lost his voice Hughie employed him, as Joe's fingers were as nimb as ever. Funeral services were held at Rodney Dade's funeral parlor. The Right Quintet sang and were impressive as usual in the vocal offerings. Doral offerings were promise, among which were a bamboo sent to Hughn and a berry by Jenkins, the drummer. Interment was at blushing cemeteries. To the bereaved sister Rhoda Grant and aunt we offer our sympathy. Pete Dlowen left his appeal to the international executive board. You might recall Pete sued Lazy Myers for six weeks' salary as sub at the Roosevelt. He worked only two days and was objected to by the management, but not on account of his ability as a musician. Lazy replaced Pete with Percy De Toro, who completed the six weeks. Pete claimed full time. The trial board gave him a weeks' salary. Pete appealed with result just stated. Pete now claims he can take the case to the convention where all the delegates meet. Maybe he can. He is sore, but not more so than Izzy who considers Pete unfair and personifies trying to get something macaroni and unattended to Pete claiming at the rate of a full week a pay when he was hired for five days of a week Izzy further alleges that Pete knew he was non persona grata with the M & S Houses for taking a job at one of their houses playing one day and not showing up the next.

MUSIC NOTES Quartet From Georgia State College Sang For Pres. & Mrs. Coolidge Savannah, Ga.-The Georgia State College Quartet sang for President Coolidge and his party while guests of Howard E. Coffin at Cabin's Bluff, Ga. The singing was arranged at the Hunting Lodge of Mr. Coffin, around a big fire, on which night President Coolidge, Mrs. Coolidge and others of their party, sat on the opposite side of a big bonfire. The quartet sang as the camera men fired away at the beautiful setting in the woods on the banks of the Amberland River. President Coolidge was so pleased with the music that Mr. Coffin urged Mr. Hubert, president of State College, to return Monday morning with the quartet to sing again for the President. President Coolidge had his picture made with President Hubert and his group of singers. While the camera men took pictures of the scene Mrs. Coolidge was listening to the music and taking pictures of group with own camera.

Without this interest the column never could have been the success that it is today; and it certainly feels at present that it is a successful department of this paper. Therefore, it appreciates the debt it owes these readers. The column also wishes to extend thanks to those who, during the year, have contributed articles, opinions and other matters of reading to its make-up. To those persons it likewise feels indebted. There was a time when it could mention the names of those who have taken an interest in its existence but now, the clientele has so expanded that this is impossible. It will, perhaps, be enough to say: The Column Thanks One and All. Besides beng grateful for the things mentioned, the column has other reasons for being pleased. It feels that it has become a medium through which people not identified with the portera, may get a better knowledge than heterofore possessed of the doings of the Negro employee of the Pullman Company. As this company is the largest single employer of Negro labor in America today, and as it employees more Negroes in clerical and supervisory capacities than any other business corporation in the country, quite naturally, comments on the activities of these employees and their relations with their employer would be interesting enough to excite a certain degree of attention. But it has only been since this column has been running that these comments have received the dignity of publication. The latter statement, of course, excludes the Pullman Magazine, the official organ of the Pullman Company. In respect to its clientele, the column has grounds for being highly pleased; for this clientele is not confined to the employees of this corporation alone, but extends to persons in other lines of vocation. Frequently the editor of the column is questioned by one of these persons on some news or comment that appeared in the column. And so far as the employees go, if interest in the news of a certain department in a paper can be properly gauged by the number of readers, then this column has adequate reason for believing that it is fulfilling its mission. Of course, the editor of this department realizes that it is not the column alone that attracts all its Pullman readers. His ego is hardly that size. The fairness, saneness and steadiness of The Age in matter affecting both employer and employees; have been the main mediums of attraction for most of the readers of the paper among the Pullman fraternity. Nevertheless, the column has sufficient reasons for being gratified at the interest which has been taken in "Things Seen, Heard And Done Pullman Employees" among the fraternity. For this interest, we again thank the readers, without as well as within the group; and hope that this year's offerings will not be any worse if they are not better, than those of the past year A GOOD EXAMPLE A GOOD EXAMPLE P.

Sample of the Pullman welfare and clerical force at Sunny-side Yards, Long Island, is a good example of the truism that intellectual training is always handy to have no matter whether or not the possessor is called upon to use it in his work. Before he had settled down to the idea of remaining a Pullman employee, Mr. Sample had vinson of being an interpreter, dissector and, perhaps, like some, a destroyer of the legal enactments which our solos try so hard to make flawless. In other words, Mr. Sample studied law at one time. Personally, the idea here is that he should not have given up the study. To our mind, he would have made a successful lawyer. He has the physique, the carriage and a calm way of deliberating that undoubtedly would have been valuable assets to him as a legal practitioner. These assets, however, along with the training he has received as a law student, have made him a valuable man to his employer and also to the group he represents. Whenever there is a meeting, gathering or function of the porters which requires some one who is able to speak with some degree of fluency, Sample is usually the man, if the occasion is around these environs, selected for the job. Last winter at Abyssinian Baptist Church, where the porters of various districts around New York and New Jersey held the largest memorial meeting that was ever solemnized by them, it was he who introduced the different speakers, and he did the job with the grace and finesse of a professional speaker. Furthermore, he is one of those rare persons who can write as well as talk. The study of law has acquainted him with the three important rules of composition. He has been known to display this acquaintance through the columns of this paper. The last occasion on which some of his work was noted was in an article defending a local Pullman official against a charge which had been made by a labor reporter. This article happened to fall under the eyes of a former school teacher of the Pullman man. The former school teacher is E. W. Benton, academic supervisor of colored schools of the City Public Schools of Nashville, Tenn., who wrote Mr Sample under date of December 14, complimenting him on the article. The following are excerpts from his letter "My friend, Mr King, has been telling you and the responsible and worthy postman Company You can readily realize a former teacher or parent can, for I work so well that you reflect credit on him. The letter you wrote in the interest Pullman Company and published in The piece I read it with great interest and.

You can readily realize that I appreciate this as only a former teacher or parent can, for I am sure you are doing your work so well that you reflect credit on both the position and yourself. "The letter you wrote in the interest of the superintendent of the Pullman Company and published in The New York Age was a masterpiece. I read it with great interest and satisfaction." We imagine the erstwhile law student got a considerable kick out of that letter, despite the fact that adults of his age are not susceptible to thrills. But this one came by way of a former teacher, and who of us are immune from the thrill of having an old teacher to teach our work? Anyway, Sample is a good example of having a trained man found even though his position may not require the ability of one.

MAKING TESTS TO DISCOVER FACTS ABOUT HEARING Many interesting facts about hearing have been found at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York. With vacuum tube oscillators and special telephone receivers of various kinds have been made. The faintest sounds that the human ear can hear are exceedingly weak, but these have been measured at various pitches over a wide range. The hardest sounds that can be heard without pain have also been determined, and an anomalous range has been found between the faintest and loudest sounds which the ear is capable of hearing. At a pitch of 1,000 cycles, (or complete vibrations) per second, which is about two octaves above middle C on the piano, the intensity range of the ear is so great that the energy in the loudest bearable sound is ten million million times the energy in the faintest audible sound. The lowest pitched note that the ear can hear and the highest were determined approximately. The lowest is about 20 cycles, and the Walter Hunter, Well Known Singer, Dies After Short Illness Walter Hunter, Well Known Singer, Dies After Short Illness Walter Hunter, 46 years of age, of 209 West 135th street, died Sunday morning, December 30, from a blood clot following an attack of diabetes. He was thought by friends to be on the road to recovery and his death was a shock to the community. Mr. Hunter was a baritone singer of note, and for years had given a pre-lenten recital in Harlem He had just gotten out advertising matter for his recital of February 1. The late Mr. Hunter was a trustee of the Clubmen's Beneficial League; a member of Monarch Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. of W; a member of Celestial Lodge of Masons, Prince Hall, and also of the Alcidian Social Club. Funeral services were conducted from Mother A. M. E. Zion Church on Wednesday night, January 2, before a large number of sorrowing friends. Interment was at Evergreen Cemetery on Thursday morning, under direction of Messrs. White and Edwards. The late Mr. Hunter was a bachelor and all arrangements for the funeral was made by his friend and associate in the music world, Henri M. Cornelius. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Pauline Bradley, and several nephews and nieces. Miss Agnes M. Edwards, Formerly A Teacher In Florida, Is Dead Miss Agnes M. Edwards, Formerly A Teacher In Florida, Is Dead Miss Agnes M. Edwards, sister of James Wedon and J Rosamond Johnson, died suddenly of bronchial pneumonia a Sunday morning, December 30, in Buffalo, where she had gone to visit Mrs Anna Gibson, a niece of hers during the holidays. Miss Edwards was born in Florida and was for many years a teacher in the public schools of Jacksonville. She was for twenty years principal of the primary department of Stanton School in that city. In 1918 she removed to New York and since made her home with her brothers. The funeral will be held at one o'clock Thursday, January 3, from the funeral parlors of William C. Perry, 248 132nd street The Rev F A Cullen, pastor of Salem M. E Church, of which she was a member, will conduct the services. Her body will be interred in the family plot in Cypress Hills Cemetery. Mrs. M. E. Weston, 206 N. Edison St. Greenwood, Miss. (picture above) says: "While in Utica (Miss.) Institute, where I graduated I studied hard and would feel so tired, sluggish, and I didn't feel like eating, and at certain times was very weak. I didn't want to get behind my classes, and yes, it was an effort to go going." "I remembered how Cardui helped me once, so I took it again, with splendid results. I am now strong and well, and feel that Cardui helped me over a time when my health might have gone down." Cardui should help you, too. Manufactured in the South for over 50 years.

This range range amounts to about ten octaves. It is often asked whether the ear is more sensitive for low or high pitched tones. The experiments answered this question, on the whole, in favor of the high pitched tones, for it was found that the most sensitive -region was from 1,000 to 5,000 cycles, between which limits the sensitivity was about the same. The ear sensitivity of persons with defective hearing was also studied, and an accurate method for obtaining the proportion of the hearing lost and retained was found Instruments called "audiometers" for making these tests were perfect and are now used by many ear specialists. These studies of hearing were part of a general investigation of the clearness of speech on telephone connections. Much has been accomplished, and the scientists and electrical engineers are carrying on the work to make further advances.
