The Leaves, combining the serious but neat of eating with fun making, Jean A. Brunner, general chairman of the committee which has in charge arrangements for the military ball of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, to be held at the Waldorf Astoria on February 11, next writes The Age declaring that charges of color discrimination contained in a letter written by Past State Commander Joseph C. Thomson, and published in The Age of December 22, are not true. Mr. Thomson, in his letter, stated that he attended the ball given on February 11, 1928, and that he noted the absence of any members of the Dorrentine Brooks Post, No. 528, Samuel Fade, Commander, composed of Negro veterans who had served in foreign wars, and that his inquiry in regard to their absence brought the information that the "Waldorfi militarized discrimination against the colored race and that therefore, none of our colored Post were present". Mr. Thomson protested holding this year's ball in that hostel and called on Senior Vice-Commander Monroe Curtis to remove this stain upon the escutcheon of the veterans of Foreign Wars. In his letter denying that discrimination being practiced against the colored veterans, Mr. Brunner states: "The National and Post Col- ors of Post 528 were at the Military Ball last year, with members of the Post, and this can be confirmed by Commander Faide of the Post. "Commander Faide can also confirm the fact that we have never discriminated against the comrades of the Post and will not do so this year, as he is in possession of a supply of tickets the ball on February 11th next. "We wish you could arrange to give as much publicity to this letter as did the one from Mr Thomson. In this Organization no one ever pay any attention to his remarks and tactics. In an interview with a representative of the New York Age, Commander Samuel Faide of the Dorrence Brooks Post confirmed the statements on Mr Brummer, declaring emphatically that there was no discrimination last year and that the Post would be represented at the year's ball.

Mr Hylan reviewed his service during eight years as mayor, declaring that he knew neither race, creed or color. Said he: "The colored people in Harlem have a great duty to perform in the coming campaign. You are a power in this city, and if you stole shoulder to shoulder and worked in unison, you could turn the tables on either party. Those of you who do not register and voter are derelict in your duty. The one great club for the plain people is the ballot. "If you want better government you must take the city out of the hands of professional politicians. You must put in office those who will not do their bidding. You must make up your mind you are just as much concerned in the operation of the City government as is the professional politician. J.

At conclusion of his talk Mr. Pickens made an appeal for new members and contributions. Hospital Nurses Case. Miss Gladys Catchings, nurse of the Freedman's Hospital in Washington, D.

C.—(Capitaal News Service)—"Advertisements are given to Negro newspapers either as charity or as a sort of blackmail," says Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of The Crisis Magazine, in a speech before the Founders' Day meeting of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., Thursday night, December 20. Dr. DuBois, who on the morning of December 19, delivers from an intercept one of the best addresses given before the National Interracial Conference, which met in this city December 16—19, on the "Preservation of Data on Citizenship" dropped with a dull thud from the subtitle to the ridiculous in his statements before local meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. Cannot Serve Advertisers In his off-hand speech he made an appeal for better and more resumative support of the Crisis and of the advertising columns of the "official organ" of the organization. He stated that advertisers purchase space in white magazines and newspapers to make their products household words. "For instance," he says, "if you think of cleaners, you at once think of _____." According to Dr Dubois, the "Negro newspapers can serve no such purpose and are simply patronized "to keep the papers off the advertisers." Nor was the editor of the "official organ" through with his wise wording. He asserted that theople of Washington that their support of The Crisis would not be missed if it were entirely withdrawn. Andience Was Shocked The audience, which was as cold and unresponsive as any Washington ton has ever produced, was visibly shocked by the trend of Dr. DuBois' remarks. The meeting at this point was nearly broken up by the audible dissension which his cause and ill-advised remarks brought forth, and several people were seen to leave the room. When interviewed the next day, they said they left in protest against the "slanderous remarks" against the newspaper fraternity. Dr. DuBois in his speech last Thursday flight did not succeed in eodering himself. The Crisis Magazine either to the local crowd or to newspapermen. Johnson Was Disconcerted Secretary James Weldon Johnson spoke immediately after Dr DuBois. It was plain that he was disconcerted by the hubbub created by a "conscientious objector" to the tone of Dr. DuBois' remarks, for his speech 'was punctuated with several full stops. 'Neval Thomas, the presiding officer, came late, made his usual segregation speech, but little if any attention was given to that phase of the work by the four general officers, Mary Hill of Duggington, DuBois, Walter White and James Weldon Jefferson, all of whom addressed the meeting Mr Johnson steered clear of the subject, and the looked-for clash beween 'New' and 'Jim' failed to materialize. Those who came for a thrill got one only through Dr DuBois' wiscracking' statements about the Negro press and its advertising patrons. Washingtonians are not afraid of the disagreement between the local president and the national officers has been amicably settled. Ada In Negro Papers. An examination of the advertising columns of several papers for the week ending December 22, 1928 shows patronage far above any such sordid status as Dr DuBois sought to picture as the truth Taking two local papers, the "Tribune" and the "Eagle"; two New York papers, "The Age" and the Amsterdam News" two Chicago papers, the Defender" and the "Bee", the "Philadelphia Tribune"; the "Pittsburgh Courier" and the Baltimore "Miro American", there will be found about 6500 inches of advertising or approximately 320 columns, of which 45 columns were classified ads and 95 columns were general advertising.

THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON MAN IS UNTAUGHT BUT SKILLED ARTIST Apartment House Janitor Attracts Attention As Painter of Pictures Washington, D. C.—Painting by a fifty-one-year-old Negro janitor who knows nothing of technique and doesn't care to learn are attracting the attention in art circles here. Oliver Jesse Ford, who said he learned to "daub about with paints and brushes" as a youth in Pittsburgh, reluctantly described his work while sweeping the corridors of an apartment house where he is employed. "What do I paint? I don't know just some scenes that I haven't seen and never expect to," he said. "I don't have any special time to work I may be sweeping about here and there when a beautiful 2012 flash is before my eyes." Works Mostly at : or 2 & 8. "I can't hope to remember it." It I'm not too busy. I run down to the basement and paint it. It haven't time I forget it. No, I never see it again. "I do most of my work about a.m or 2 a.m. Sometimes I just sit in front of the canvas. Suddenly my hands reach for paint brushers. They move over the canvas and the outline of something appears that is and no one else can tell. Soon it shapes itself into something concrete. "I never know where the scenes I've painted are located until someone sees my pictures and tells me Will Not Sell or Exhibit Ford will not sell his pictures or have them displayed in galleries or at exhibitions. They are sacred to me because they don't belong to me. He explained. My hands draw them but what makes my hands good is knowing paint about art. I only know I'm painting. Persons who have seen the pictures say they are void to mislead detainees of fortune in scenes which Ford never has visited. The artist artist rarely completes a picture he loves best in too soon. Before I am a time to add the finishing touches something else comes before my eyes. I must paint it or it is lost. He said Ford has a son and a daughter both of whom are very artists. He hopes to send them to art school but predicted they won't learn anything there. Rev. W. H. Jernigan Heads Equal Rights League Washington D.C.

Where a bond holder is a creditor of a corporation stockholder is actually a part owner of the business. When a company is incorporated stock certificates are issued as the corporations' capitalization. If ten certificates or "shares" form the capitalization each represents a ten-tenth ownership in the business. If ten thousand shares are issued each represents a ten-tenthinth interest. Assume that a corporation is capitalized with one hundred shares. One man may own the entire hundred and that he be given control of the business again. Then another man, each owning various amounts of stock, and each being entitled to his proportionate part of the corporation's profit—an converse's share of the house. A preferred stock is entitled to a fixed dividend, if earned, and ranks ahead of the common stock both as to assets and dividend, but is junior to all the corporations treasured debt. A 7% preferred stock means that the stock is entitled to a 7% dividend return before the common stock is paid anything. The 7% paid on the par value. The par value is the backing item (a very confusing and misleading one) and has no bearing on the true value of the security. Par may be $25 or $100.

N. J. Saturday, January 12, 1929 STOCKS paying a 7% dividend would return $00 a year. Many corporations issue "no par" stock, and design dividends in dollars, such as a $10 so-called stock. Preferred stocks may be cumulative or not cumulative. Suppose a corporation does not earn sufficient money on its dividends, its preferred stock. The dividend is passed for several quarterly periods, and dividends usually pay four time-year increments. The stock is cumulative; these dues all be paid at some future date when the corporation is again in anally sound, before any dividends are declared on the common stock. A non-cumulative preferred stock does not have to pay any dues in arrears, and after it pays the regular preferred dividend may use the remainder for its common. For example, a 6% preferred preferred stock pays $150 quarterly (assuming $100 pay value). The dividend is passed with say a year and a half, after which time earnings are sufficient to again pay the annual $50 dividend. The common must entirely pay off the regular $50 dividend before the common must receive a cent. A non-cumulative stock disregards this $9 accrual and the common only has to keep in the $150 payments in order to declare whatever dividend it can be the common.

Author of "Black Democracy, a History of Haiti." Author of "Black Democracy, a History of Haiti." That the American intervention in Haiti involves the unwarranted oppression of the Haitian people is a misconception as common in the United States as is the generally accepted theory that the policy of the intervention was inspired by "Wall Street" and has been dictated by "dollar diplomacy." The facts are diametrically opposed to such conclusions. We have, in fact, made very material progress toward the liberation of the mass of the Haitian people from oppression and toward the destruction of as vicious a system of mass exploitation, for the benefit of a minority as has existed since the days of feudalism was, luckily for him, separated from the palace only by a stone wall. At about the same hour 167 political prisoners who had been incarcerated by Sam in the national prison were butchered under the personal supervision of the commander of the arrondissement. On the following morning a mob of sorrowing citizens, returning Invesements Negligible. That Wall Street, or any other great American financial interest, is efficiently concerned about Haiti to endeavor to influence our Department of State is on the face of it assured. The total receipts of the Republic of Haiti for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1928 were $10,084.8M—about the gross investment of the World Bank. The actual book value of all American investments in Haiti is difficult to estimate. It is however safe to say that the sum is less than the capital invested in a modern, New York skyscraper. Senator King, of Utah, who was later notified that his presence in Hawaii would be unwelcome to the Hawaiian government, stated on the floor of the United States Senate that American corporations had purchased "teness" thousands of acres of the most valuable land" and that "this had contributed to the causes of thousands of Hawaiian would take" from em and sat the aaa would pass under the force of landlords, nu rated to Hawaii and Santo Domingo, and create countries." The land owned by American corporations in Haiti does not exceed 40,000 acres, and of this less than 15,000 acres could be any stretch of imagination be called valuable productive land. The total of all such land held by Americans would not make up a fairly large Cuban or Dominican sugar estate or equal in acres that of many a Kansas farm. With a few conspicuous exceptions Americans who have acquired land in Haiti would be delighted to cash in for a small percentage of the money they have invested. The French in Haiti to Santo Domingo and Cuba can refer only to the annual pilgrimage of some thousands of Haitians who forced the laak of employment in Haiti to migrate during the cane safety season to countries where more lightened police have resulted in the establishment of profitable agricultural enterprises owned and operated by American The history of Three Haitians from the inauguration of the republic to July 28, 1915, the date of the American intervention very plainly demonstrates that while these people had maintained its freedom from foreign domination, it had never succeeded in conducting a government in any accepted sense of the word democrat. The inauguration of July 28, 1915, from Vilhelm Guillaume Sauney fourth President of the Republic of Haiti, was driven from his palace to the Capitol. Post an Prince and sought sanctuary in the adjoining French Legation, which A Dangerous Condition "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas paina. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt slugdish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. I gained in weight and my general health was good; that is why I made me realize the merits of Black-Draught.

At about the same hour 167 political prisoners who had been incarcerated by Sam in the national prison were butchered under the personal supervision of the commander of the arrondissement. On the following morning a mob of sorrowing citizens, returning from the burial of the victims of this atrocious massacre, decreed, far off in the outer harbor, the smoke of the U. S. S Washington and realizing that the arrival of an American battleship would walk the people around, the people rushed to the French Legation and, dragging Sam from a place of concealment threw him over a high iron fence to the mob. The U. S. S. Washington dropped anchor in the harbor at 10:30 a.m. Body Dragged Through City. "I was about a mile off." Admiral William B. Caperton, U. S. N., has stated, "and I saw much confusion, people in the streets and apparently there was a procession as if it were dragging something through the city." This something was the mutated body of the President of the republic, drawn by a rope through the principal streets on the capital. The admiral was informed that the president and the commander of the arrondissement had been murdered the French and Dominican Legations violated, that no government or constituted authority was functioning that a wild mob was in possession of the city, and that the dezent of a "caco" revolutionary army on the unprotected city was eminent. The French Minister and British Charge d'Affaires united with the American Charge in urging the immediate landing of American troops Admiral Caperton had decided to comply with these requests, when at 3 p.m. he received from the Secretary of the United States Navy a dispatch which read in part as follows "State Department desires that American forces be landed at Port-au-Prince and that American and foreign interests be protected, that representatives of England be informed that their interests be protected and that they are re-railed not to land. Two hours later a provisional regiment of bluejackets and machines landed and within a few hours "the situation was well in hand." Intervention Maintained This was not by any means the first time the United States had intervened in Haiti. As a matter of fact, we had for some months been vains enleaving to obtain the consent of the Haitian government to a concession very similar to the treaty which was later consummated. The landing of July 28, 1915, however inaugurated the armed intervention of the United States in Haiti, which has been maintained to this date. That it is difficult for well-informed Americans to discuss our subsequent proceedings without admitting a certain amount of inaptitude and obvious failures is granted, but no one who is at all familiar with the facts can question that intervention July, 1915, was an absolutely necessary step by only accepted by the French and English Legions and well-fed by all foreigners and such Haitians as were sufficiently versed in affairs to realize what was going on. Washington Criticized The great mass of adverse criticism of the American intervention in Haiti, even including that of well intentioned crusaders, earnest to "protect a nation from oppression and people from spoliation," has unfortunately been based on assumptions so utterly at variance with fundamental facts as to have no constructive value. In the opinion of the writer these misconceptions are largely due to the mistaken attitude of our responsible officials in Washington and their agents in Haiti. There has been, and is a discoverable lack of frankness about our proceedings in relation to Haiti. With an apparent lack of courage of our convictions we have muddled along from step to inevitable step, inspired by motives unquestionably honest and sincere but with an extraordinary reluctance to define and announce a policy. It is, for instance, obviously insincere to state that we intervened in Haiti, procured the ratification of a treaty, extended the duration of this convention, revised and again revised the constitution of the republic "at the request of the Haitian people." Haitians Oppose Policies. The majority of the Haitian people who had taken up residence Landing Ordered the various proceedings were and are bitterly opposed to the policy of the intervention in general and to the greater part of the program of our treaty officials in detail. Each consecutive step has been one more nail in the coffin of a time honored system on which the only articulate people of Haiti had depended for a livelihood. It is apparent that the responsible officials in Washington are not favorably disposed to any discussion of the Haitian problem in Congress, and it is a matter of record that some of the most accurate, unfair and misleading indications of the intervention have been printed in the Congressional Record. It is hopeless to expect that Americas who are not intimately informed regarding this situation, and familiar with the curious reactions which Haitians refer to as Haitian psychology, can intelligently assimilate conditions there with those existing in more advanced self-governing states. In April 1922, the chairman of a "Select Committee on Haiti and Santo Domingo-United States Senate" submitted a report of 1,800 printed pages, the result of many months investigation and of protracted hearings in Washington and in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Report Reviewcd 'Errors.' In a summary of the report, after a just defense of the military occupation the committee pointed out certain errors of commission "like those of omission arising from failure to develop a denine and constructive policy under the treaty," blunders which the committee held were partly due to failure of the authorities in Washington, "to appreciate the importance of selecting for service in Haiti, whether in vital or militant capacities who were sympathetic to Haitians and able to maintain cordial personal and official relations with them." In conclusion the Senators stated that "always provided that American policy be marked by continuity and the spirit of service," there could be, along lines suggested by their rapid development in Hattie moral, social, political and economic. This report was written after almost seven years of American occupation and was evident to the committee that continuity of policy had been followed, and that grave errors in judgment had been made in the selection of Americans for service in Hattie. No Rapid Development Many changes for the better have taken place since this report was made. But it is obvious that no rapid development, moral, social, political and economic, has materialized, or can be looked for under the present regime. It is impossible to question the conclusion of the Senators that the co-operation of the literate class is essential to the rehabilitation of Haiti. But the Senators seemingly failed to realize that the literate class is not interested in the progress of general education nor in the establishment of a representative form of government, and the committee was in error in saving that this class could not prevent this rehabilitation of the country. Five or six generations of Americans can control could not accomplish the rehabilitation of Haiti without the cooperation of the country. Civilian Control Urged In a preliminary statement published some weeks before the final report the Senatorial committee recommended the appointment of a special representative of the President of the United States, a high commissioner in which he will invest the usual diplomatic powers of an envoy extraordinary and to whom, furthermore, all the American officials appointed under the treaty as well as the commissariat of the marine brigade should look for direction and guidance. This recommendation was observed inspired by the foreign policy of civil aviation and the power of all administrative head of the intervention should be a civilian. In one of the public hearings on the Senate committee a prominent Flattan lawyer objected to the creation of this office on the ground that it would inevitably be filled by a military officer. In reply, the chairman of a committee emphatically stated that he had taken occasion to explain to the Department of State his judgment that civil functions are better performed by men trained to civil rather than military functions for our months later, a bit earlier general of the United States Marine Corps was appointed to the office. Twenty-Year Treaty in Effect The Haitian-American treaty was ratified by the United States Senate and by a Haitian government, maintained at the time by the presence of armed forces of the United States. The duration of the treaty was for ten years from the date of ratification. May 1, 1910, but the final clause provided for another term of ten years, for any specific reason presented by either of the high contracting parties, the purpose of this treaty has not been fully accomplished. Less than a year after ratification an additional act extending the duration of the treaty until May 1, 1910, was signed at Port-au-Prince. The treaty thus provided twenty years in which to compil the objects set forth therein, of which seven years and five months remain. There is no provision for further extension of the treaty and in possibility that the Haitian people will willingly agree to its renewal or to any other arrangement which involves the continuation of any form of American control over the specified area in a subsequent treaty agreement. 2285 SEVENTH AVENUE Bet. 134th and 135th Sts.

RING LARDNER EDITORS REVIEW LYNCHING. While a Brooklyn editor was indulging in the hopeful conclusion that a sense of lightened self-interest was responsible for reducing the number of lynchings during the past year, a mob in Mississippi raised the number from nine to ten, with the accompaniments of a thousand spectators to witness the burning of an unconvicted human being. And the Governor of this sovereign state, when appealed to for an investigation of the crime, answered: "I have neither the time nor the money to investigate two thousand people." Porto Rico also has a substantial degree of autonomy in its insular affairs, the controlling hand of the United States being exercised through the vote power of the Governor, upon the tactful exercise of which internal tranquility depends. This is illustrated by the contrast between the regime of Governor Towns with his predecessor, a dictatorial official who was always in hot water. The disastrous hurricane of a few months ago has sadly interfered with the industrial development of Porto Rico, but with the aid extended by the Federal government it bids fair to regain its losses It is interesting to observe the reactions produced by this crime and the indifferent attitude of the Governor in the metropolitan press. The Brooklyn Eagle pronounced it "Mississippi Disgrace," and an illustration of our backward civilization in that state. It added: The victim of medievalism was a Negro of course. He must have been guilty of murder and abduction charged. The would has no way of knowing. Guilty or innocent, he was entitled to a fair trial, and in his State, where white men make up the juries, it proven guilty he would have met a deserved fate under the process of law. The State of Mississippi had furnished three of the lynchings cases of 1928 out of a total of ten reported ten days before the year ended. It has now furnished a fourth, with cruelty more horrible than any of the others displayed. The disgrace is Mississippi's. The responsibility is Governor Bilbo's. The Governor owns that he called out troops to catch the alleged criminal. He owns that he did not call out troops to prevent a lynching. Nobody asked him to do so. "If such a request had been made by an authorized person I would have granted it." Criticizing Governor Bilbo as "being out of step," the New York Herald Tribune said: The Governor of other states in the South realize that it is a blot upon their states and upon their gubernatorial regimes when men are burned alive and no one is punished. The New South hates lynchings even more than it detests Yankee criticisms of them, and lynchings have dropped from an average of sixty-nine a year in the five years just after the Civil War to eleven in 1928 Mississippi to its shame, accounted for five of those eleven Governor Bilbo doe an ill service to his state when he refuses to put against this mob orgy: the chief effect of his contempt for law is likely to he to encourage those who doubt that the state will ever clean its own back yard and call for Federal action The conditions presented in Ham should possess peculiar interest for the President-elect, especially if he is at constant with the history of the Caribbean republic, which celebrated its first century of independence in 1918. Having successfully wrested and defended its liberties from European powers, it remained It remained for the New York Daily News to excoriate the community murderers of Mississippi in terms so plain as to penetrate even the intelligence of the mob and its sympathizers. It said or the unhappy Indians to fall victim to the grasping appetite of American capital, which through the torces of marines, machine guns and bombing planes seized possession of the land, and began the American occupation, which diminished the government today through an American High Commissioner a brigade general of the marine corps. The last day of 1928 also saw, down south in the lordly state of Mississippi, a ceremony which made one wonder whether Mississippi, who lately hanged discussion of the evolution theory in their schools, weren't justified in doing so after all. Some of them showed themselves a good deal closer akin to the yellow dog than to the anthropoid apes. A colored man, who had murdered a white man and abducted and attacked his daughter was captured by a mob of over 1,000 Mississippi and was then burned to death. Mississippi has criminal courts, penal law and legal qualified hangings. But the reaping of the lynchers is that southern womanhood must be protected. Why the courts can't be trusted to avert southern womanhood, we don't know nor we suspect, do the lynchers. This conquest of Haiti was effected under the Wilson administration but the two succeeding Republican administrations have been equally zealous in maintaining a grip upon the helpless republic and exploiting its people and resources in the interest of American capital. This subversion of Haitian liberties by the greater republic of the North embodies one of the little ironies or history, in view of the fact that tradition has it that the French expedition that came to assist the early American colonists in their revolt against British rule, comprised a regiment of black fighters from this island, known as the Legion of San Domingo. Jant't the real reason possibly that Mississippi applid must be satisfied every so often! It may be insulting to link up these Mississippi "gentlemen" with child killing nerivers like Kudzinowski, but a psychologist probably find points of resemblance. Boys, it's a noble winnow for late it makes you wonder just how far concession has progressed in the United States or tax any rate how thoroughly it has worked through all sections of society. In states like Mississippi where cultured self-interest is too abstruse a qualifier for popular appreciation where the human conscience is scared to all moral motions, the only recourse to keep such communities from committing wholesale murder, with the added barbarism of a human holocaust, is for the Federal government to intervene. The State government has proved itself inadequate to the task and has educated its functions of forcing the law and protecting its citizens. Mississippi should be saved from itself as a menace of the worsthood of states. The above verses are mere outlines, showing how lynchings are regarded in civilized communities go for such a conclusion. It makes you wonder just how far civilization has progressed in the United States or at any rate how thoroughly it has traced through all sections of society. In states like Mississippi where cultured self-interest is too abstruse a quality for popular appreciation where the human conscience is seared to all moral emotions, the only recourse to keep such communities from committing wholesale murder, with the added barbarism of a human holocaust, is for the Federal government to intervene. The State government has proved itself inadequate to the task and has educated its functions of enforcing the law and protecting its citizens. Mississippi should be saved from itself as a province of a betterhood of states. Glowing reports are frequently made by the High Commissioner as to the blessings of American civilization imposed upon the Haitians in the shape of good roads, sanitary improvements, and rural schools for the peasant population, but little is said about the suppression of the press, the jailing of the editors and the overruling of the decisions of the native judges. Under the harsh rule of the marines, there have been endless complaints of injustices committed upon the natives and the cultivation of immorality and vice to which no remedy is afforded. Testimony as to these conditions has been given by observers on both race. The above view shows how lynchings are regarded in civilized communities go on and part such a conclusion. Of course, it is not to be expected that the President-elect will be permitted to see any of the scamy side of the American occupation in Haiti. He will be carried over the good roads, which will be claimed as the results of American progress. He will be placed high WEST INDIAN CONQUESTS. It is reported on the authority of the associated Press, that Mr. Hoover plans tour of the West Indies before his imprint as President in March. [E] It is reported on the authority of the Associated Press, that Mr. Hoover plans a tour of the West Indies before his inauguration as President in May. THE NEW YORK AGE is conditioned on the possibility of his concluding/his political conferences in Washington during the present week, so as to permit a short stay for rest in Florida, before undertaking the trip to the Caribbean, which would probably require three weeks. ways and aqueducts to mark their conquests of foreign lands. He will be shown a few model schools and the results of scientific efforts to combat tropical diseases, but nothing will be reported of the deadly disease that entered with the marines. However, it may be that Mr. Hoover will insist upon seeing and talking with some of the members of the Patriotic Union of Haiti. In that case he may hear another side to our West Indian conquests. It is said that Mr. Hoover particularly desires to visit Cuba, and also to get first hand information of what the marines are doing in Haiti. He wants to see how the Dominican Republic is progressing since the American occupation ended several years ago. Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands also have claims on his attention, as a sample of what American rule has done and left undone for the foreign groups taken under the protection of the United States. A NAVAL INVESTIGATION Secretary Wilbur of the Navy Department has authorized an investigation of the recent attacks made by sailors in uniform upon Negro passengers in the New York subways. A conference was held last week between representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Rear Admiral de Steiguer at the Navy Yard, to arrange for such an inquiry with a view to the trial of the sailors charged with making such attacks. Complaints have been made by colored passengers in the subway of injuries suffered in such encounters on two separate dates in December, and the names of the sailors were supplied in one case. Secretary Wilbur of the Navy Department has authorized an investigation into recent attacks made by sailors and men upon Negro passengers in the work subways. A conference was last week between representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Rear Adm. David Steiguer at the Navy Yard, to arrange for such an inquiry with a view to the trial of the sailors charged with such attacks. Complaints have been made by colored passengers in the Navy of injuries suffered in such encounters on two separate dates in December and the names of the sailors were included in one case. A request has been made by the boards of the National Association to Secretary Wilbur, that he issue a special warning to members of the Navy against the recurrence of the attacks. More scores of men and women have suffered from these assaults by sailors, and though complaints have been filed against the sailors, no redress has been offered. The Association has also received letters concerning milder forms of assault committed by sailors on shore against persons of darker skins. Concable resentment has been aroused by his vulgar and violent exhibition of prejudice coming from wearers of the United States uniform, which has in several instances provoked retaliation self-defence. The animus for this brutal exhibit prejudice can probably be traced to the abnormal attitude of the Navy, created since the Civil War, in excluding negroes from enlistment in other naval capacity. Then there is the exclusion from the Naval Academy, anapolis, the only Negro who wasitted, being goaded into resentment, results offered him by a physical assault on his tormentors. This attitude is more inconsistent, in view of the fact that the early days of the Navy black and equal rating as sea fighters. Admiral Jones, the Father of the American Navy, in his early ventures at sea, ran how he bunked with a black messenger. Negro sailor was a conspicuous fighter in the battle of Lake Erie under Colonel Perry, unless he has been part out of the picture in the Capitol Washington. Another thing that may have to do with this animus against color is part of the sailors of today, is the fact that has been given them in the conspicuous subjugation of West Indian countries where the inhabitants are of mixed background, the role of the aggressor age, these people they have easily grown associate the fact of color with an end no must be kept in subjection. He has aggressive attitude against color persons who happen to be entitled to the usual status of American citizens. Tendency to pick upon and assault these because of their pigment should be curbed, as it may lead to serious consequences. Much latitude is allowed to color on leave, but a line should be drawn prevent such serious and brutal attacks have recently taken place in the Dry Drastic discipline should be enforced in punishing the offenders. Although punishment may have a current effect on the rest of the race, it will not reach the root of the color discrimination in the Department which exists under both local parties. What aspect the results of American interference into the destinies of weaker nations may present to the President-elect, we do not know. In Porto Rico he will doubtless see the most pleasing results of American progress grafted onto a decaying Spanish civilization and imparting to it new life and prosperity, at least in its superficial aspects. The modern schools, sanitary improvements and good roads, maintained under American rule, are calculated to impress the visitor with the blessings wrought by American occupation. A request has been made by the officers of the National Association to Secretary Wilbur, that he issue a specific warning to members of the Navy against the recurrence of the attacks. More than a score of men and women have suffered from these assaults by sailors, and although complaints have been filed against the assailants, no redress has been afforded. The Association has also received letters concerning milder forms of abuse committed by sailors on shore leave against persons of darker skins. Considerable resentment has been aroused by this vulgar and violent exhibition of racial prejudice coming from wearers of the United States uniform, which has in several instances provoked retaliation in self-defence. The situation in the Virgin Islands is not so favorable, either from an economic or political standpoint. Since the purchase of these islands from Denmark there has been a steady falling off in their commerce and industries, which has worked great hardship to the inhabitants. The destruction of the native industries through changing conditions of trade and the enforcement of prohibition, has not been accompanied by compensating advantages, either in government or industry. The administration of affairs through the Insular Bureau, with a naval officer for governor, has resulted in the suppression of nearly all local autonomy. The economic depression, combined with the harsh rule of the navy and Federal judges, has contributed to crime, unrest and dissatisfaction. The animus for this brutal exhibition of prejudice can probably be traced to the abnormal attitude of the Navy, fostered since the Civil War, in excluding Negroes from enlistment in other than a menial capacity. Then there as the fact of exclusion from the Naval Academy at Annapolis, the only Negro who was admitted, being goaded into resenting the insults offered him by a physical assault upon his tormentors. This attitude is the more inconsistent, in view of the fact that in the early days of the Navy black men had equal rating as sea fighters. Admiral Paul Jones, the Father of the American Navy, in his early ventures at sea, related how he bunked with a black messmate. A Negro sailor was a conspicuous figure in the battle of Lake Erie under Commodore Perry, unless he has been painted out of the picture in the Capitol at Washington. Another thing that may have to do with this animus against color on the part of the sailors of today, is the part that has been given them in the conquest and subjugation of West Indian countries where the inhabitants are of mixed blood, Playing the role of the agrgessor against these people they have easily grown to associate the fact of color with an enemy who must be kept in subjection. Hence, this aggressive attitude against colored persons who happen to be entitled to the equal status of American citizens. This tendency to pick upon and assault civilians because of their pigment should be curbed, as it may lead to serious consequences. Much latitude is allowed to a sailor on leave, but a line should be drawn to prevent such serious and brutal attacks as have recently taken place in the subway. Drastic discipline should be exercised in punishing the offenders Although punishment may have a deterrent effect on the rest of the naval force, it will not reach the root of the evil due to color discrimination in the Navy Department which exists under both political parties SOME TRUTHS RECOGNIZED commenting upon the outcome of washington Interracial Conference of the Nation emphasized themazing advance made in discussingblem by speakers of both raceslove all the clear-cut recognition ofthat "the only way to solutionsproblem lies through full citizensin the Negro and complete racial equalthroughout the land." The Nation is edited byOswald Garrison and added significantly "We havepresent years reported anything in Commenting upon the outcome of the Washington Interracial Conference, the editor of the Nation emphasized the most amazing advance made in discussing the problem by speakers of both races and above all the clear-cut recognition of the truth "that the only way to solution of the problem lies through full citizenship for the Negro and complete racial equality throughout the land." The Nation, which is edited by Oswald Garrison Villard added significantly "We have not in recent years reported anything more encouraging than this conference. And no feature was more gratifying than the outspokenness and courage of the Southern white men who contributed of their knowledge and understanding to its deliberations." In another part of the same issue, Walter White had an article dealing with the consequences which he considered the most significant gesture ever made in this country toward the solution of the race problem. For the first time, the representatives of the most conservative groups met with those further advanced. Despite the fact that very little, if anything, now was said, there was evidence of a genuine desire to get at the facts. All shades of opinion were voiced by the representatives of many national organizations interested in race matters, church organizations and college presidents from both sections. The lowest point of the conference was struck in the causistic defence made by a representative of the American Federation of labor, in upholding the exclusion of Negroes from labor unions. His justification was based on the ground, that where the eco- THE AGE READERS' FORUM The Metropolitan Life's Policy In New Jersey Editor of The New York Age I note with considerable interest the letter in a recent issue of The Age, concerning the situation created among colored policy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which letter is signed by officials of the Newark Branch of the N A C P. In a long and somewhat hectic experience in public life I have all been able to observe that whistleblowers are always groves, there is always someone to rise up and either deny, condone or mobilize the thing done. Why anyone should find it necessary to act as an apologist for the Metropolitan, considering its general attitude towards Negroes, is almost incomprehensible, unless someone feels that we should be grateful because we are allowed to pay premiums for insurance in the company; and any defense for this company comes with very little grace from anyone interested in creating opportunities for Negroes. I have no fault to find with that portion of the text which argues that the policies held by restain the policies which they now have. It would be foolish to do otherwise unless some other company would take up this insurance on the same conditions governing the present policies. As for the other part of the letter, in which the statement is made that "There was no segregation." I feel that I am very charitable in saying that the gentlemen don't know what they are talking about. It is very evident that they have been perfectly willing to accept the word of "Marse Henry" and have made no investigations of their own. It is unfortunate that these "Bates in the Wood" have not yet learned that statements made by their gentlemen on the other side of the race fence, must be taken, are irrelevant, "quum gramp aels" Observations were made in the newly established Newark office over a period of ten days, and during that period not a single white person was seen at this office. In addition to this, an employee of the office admitted that it was for colored people only. Furthermore, no denial could be obtained from the manager of the Orange office that it was not a policy of segregation. The statement claims that both white and colored industrial policy holders were sent to the Newark office. As a matter of fact, very rarely did the Orange officer so called industrial policies. This class of police holder usually pays to a visiting agent and is usually the one who holds policies of larger value who pays their premiums at the insurance office, thereby getting a discount. It is significant, in the light of the statement made in this letter that an order was issued from Vice President Fiske to discontinue the policy which had been inaugurated of having colored people to come to Newark from the suburbs to pay their premiums, and the authors of the letter will find on investigation that this is true; and it is very gratifying to note that this was done as a result of a conference between Mr. Fiske of the Metropolitan and James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary of the N A A C P. Very truly yours. W G ALEXANDER, M D A Neighborhood Need Editor of The New York Age Knowing your great interest CIVIL SERVICE NEWS nomic interests of white and Negro labor clashed, the federation had considered the "practical" interest of that body and excluded the Negro. He declared that "unskilled labor must become skilled before it can gain rights." As union, labor keeps the Negro out of the skilled trades, this declaration was tantamount to notice that this policy is to be permanent The question of disfranchisement was discussed without gloves by Dr. DuBois, who steadfastly maintained that a disfranchised working class in modern industrial civilization is worse than helpless." All in all, the conference has led to fuller and clearer understanding of the fundamental issues at stake and the remedies needed to bring and opportunity for all races, about equality of citizenship public welfare. I am sending you some information about the work which I am doing that makes it possible for women to gain a wider knowledge of hygiene and home nursing, the care and training of young children, etc. I am maintaining an Institute and Center for Practical Nursing in East Harlem where little, if any, welfare work is being done among our or are, no doubt, aware of the provided conditions and lack of play space for little children in this neighborhood. In order to help meet some of the needs of this neighborhood, the members of my classes and those who have completed the course have formed an organization which they have named the T P Nurse Circle and they conduct various welfare activities in the community, their principal work being among the children. Very recently a 14-room house has been taken over at 55 East 132nd street where we hope to care for the children of working mothers. The cost of the work to the families will be very small. In this building we also hope to conduct a practical nurses' directory, where trained nurses may register and secure positions. We will also have an emergency closet of sick room appliances and supplies which will be loaned out to sick of the community who cannot afford to buy such necessary articles. Our work is greatly handicapped by the lack of funds and public contributions will be gratefully accepted.

The Governor of Mississippi says that he has earlier the time nor the money to investigate the lynching of Charles Shepherd at Parchman on December 31. The Governor or had time - and he was not worried about the expense to offer the entire state militia to catch Shepherd after he had escaped from the penitentiary, he also had time to stop at Parchman after the crime and to view the body of the mob's black victim burned in public and riddled with bullets. The Governor of Mississippi is out to step. A mass meeting at Hattiesburg, in his own state, has just demanded an inquiry into another lynching of another Negro. The Governors of other states in the South realize that it is not upon their states and upon the gubernatorial regimes when men are burned alive and no one is punished. The New South hates lynchings even more than it detests Yankee criticisms of them and lynchings have dropped from an average of sixy-nine a year in the five years just after the Civil War to eleven in 1928 Mississippi, to its shame accounted for five of those eleven Governor Bubo does an ill service to his state when he refuses to act against this mob oray the chief effect of his contempt for law is likely to be to encourage those who doubt that the state will ever clean its own back yard and call for Federal action ary 3, close January 17 Clerk Grade 2 (with a knowledge of Ad- dressograph) Applications copy January 3, close January 17 Exhausted Lustr—Clerk, Grade 2 (male) Attendant, Grade 2 (female) Attendant, Grade 2 (male) Auto Engineman, City Accountant, Grade 4, Marine Stoker Car Repairer, Clerk, Grade 1 (male) Mechanical Draftsman, Sanitary Grade 3, Pharmacists Watch this column for announce- ments of dates for new examinations for the above positions.

The course of dummy laborer was certified to the street cleaning --- COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON THE SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS Editor Benjamin Jefferson Davis of the Atlanta Independent recently sorted the Rev Sam Small, the one-time Southern itinerant evangelist as a false prophet. He said. Dr Sam Small prophesied before the election, that as soon as Hoover was elected the party would rename Ben Davis National commisstee, to the utter disregard of the white South. The Dr now reverses himself by saying the party in order to build a decent and respectable white district is ready to sacrifice the Ben Davises, Perry Howards, Bob Churches, Walter Cohens and Bill McDonalds. We have no fear of being put out of the party even by combination of the lily-whitees and Sam Smalls. The party belongs as much to the Negro as to the white man Abraham Lincoln gave us right and title to its principles and no set of white or black men can take it from us. Let your soul be at ease. Breer. Small, we can defend our own. We few simple Brother Smith knows in much such things as going in Mr Hoover's cabinet as we do; and when he intimates that Mr Hoover will trade cabinet positions in the South for party prestige he does Mr Hoover a serious wrong The Republican party can take the patronage from the regulars in the South and give it to the "pie hunters," but it cannot take principles from the regulars for the bene fit of false gods While Editor Davis has lost his committemanship, he has evidently retaliated his standing as an out spoken Republican of the old school Under the startling headline on "Earthly Workers—Heavenly Boarders," the Louisiana Weekly of New Orleans propounded the following query With two million dollars being expended in Louisiana on a government hospital building project and a stipulation that as far as possible the labor for this project shall be Louisiana labor, no, white or black, but native labor, vhy, then, are the colored tradesmen confronted with the situation that they cannot work on this project because of the color of their skin and the texture of their hair? Some one of the organizations championing the rights of the colored man should intercede for him on this job. This damnable practice of excluding the Negro from public constructions should be broken up before it becomes so widespread. In this case the N A C P should investigate and launch a stirring fight against the party or parties guilty of excluding the black tradesman. Negro labor is needed in the South to keep the wheels of commerce turning, but the Negro laborer cannot live in Louisiana and board in Heaven. If the white people of Louisiana expect the Negro laborer to stay within the confines of the commonwealth they, the white people, who are in charge of the contracts for these and other buildings, should see that the Negro laborer gets a fair chance to earn a livelihood as well as any other group. The raising of such an economic barrier against black workers suggests the deliberate plan of forcing their migration from the State And set the South complains when its black workers try to leave that section.

Saturday, January 12, 1920 made its apologies as follows: There will be no Louisville Leader next week. For the first time during its ten years the Leader is to suspend and allow its loyal force more than one day. This decision is encouraged by the fact that for three weeks the Leader plant has been undergoing a change through excavating, remodeling and making such improvement, which necessitates the suspending of all printing business that must be done in the plant for a week or more.

It is now lined upon as a reliable agency by the white and colored populace and is quite an important factor in racial relationships and progress. The whole physical, moral and artistic tone of the Negro press is improving and it now bids fair on the whole to take its place as serenity well-meaning, conservative spokesmen of the people. The death of T. Thomas Fortune, the greatest Negro editor since Frederick Douglass, marks a distinct boss to the press as well as to the field of letters. On the whole the entire trend of the American Negro has been steadily upward and onward, including politics, which field gives promise, under new local and national leadership. In our leadership the men of the press, the business men and educators are fast supplanting the political and ministerial leadership in the past. While this opinion may sound one patting one's self on the back, there is reasonable ground for such an optimistic outgiving. The appearance and tone of most Negro newspapers have undergone a marked improvement Discoursing on the subject of Religion, the Portland, Oregon. Adocate said Man) of us mistake the outward forms and ceremonies connected with church and worship as religion. Loud prayers, much bowing, scrapping, halleluja and nose may even fool those who are themselves giving the outward demonstrations on piety, may fool their brethren, but they will never fool God. That camouflage will not be effective around the great white throne above. Prayer is a glorious blessing, but our feelings often voice invocation more frequently and effectively than by means of spoken words. The sermon on the Mount is religion and its essence is the Golden Rule. Simple, sublime, divine. Cofusicon enumerated the principle and five centuries later Christ came and gave it His stamp of approval. When mankind bows to the Golden Rule dissension will vanish, petty strife will end, warfare will disappear and earth will grow into a semblance of heaven. And yet the Advocate carries a following quotation from Mr De at the head of its editorial co- mment: "Don't ask for rights. Lake Ann. don't let arny wan give them to ye. A right that is handed to fe nawthin' has something' the ter with it." Reprinting the news account of a fire in a Negro residential section which emphasized the inadequate water supply, the Norfolk Journal and Grade said editorially. A nest of fifty Negro homes we threatened by fire. Hove must drain 2,200 feet to the nearest hydrant. Four homes are already destroyed. "Never was there a more serious need for water." It is a story familiar to hundreds of Negro districts in the South, some of which are a great deal more urban than Bullytown, Lumberton, N.C. It is the spectre of just such a story, added to other inconveniences equally as dangerous if not as ferulous to life as fire, that impels our people to move in and on to better resident districts and provokes the cry of "enroachment" from our white neighborhood. Of course, in most of the urban sections we are far better situated from the viewpoint of residence convenience, than the fortunate families of Bullytown, N.C., but by the same token of unequal distribution of public funds for our improvements we are restricted to the enjoyment of living conditions equally as healthful and inviting as those of our more favored neighbors. That restriction is imposed by municipal shortsightedness and partiality fosters, in most cases urge to enroach, or rather to move into more selected and inviting neighborhoods, which means in many cases getting closer to the white folks whose neighborhoods have in variably had the special attention of the municipal public works departments. Segregated sections are analogous to firm crew care in that they furnish inferior facilities for the same money paid for either fare or taxes. The opposition to both has a sound economic reasons.

"The oak knowledge he possessed ass his master's curb, but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider," Isaiah 1.3, were the words used for a text. The revival that begun Sunday, December 30, is now in full swing. Elder W. G.

Nevertheless the doctrine has been made known in light clear enough to establish the doctrine as a cardinal truth. Hebrew 1 2-8. No Old Testament prophet has antagonized the doctrine, but all of them have expressed it in utterances that were free from debate or controversy. And some in the clearest possible language have differentiated between ach distinct personality of the God-bed Isa. 63 9-12. "But it was the advent of Jesus Christ into the world that made more manifest this doctrine, Men and women who loved God, men and women who were acquainted with Jesus Christ, men and women who felt the power of the Holy Spirit never disputed the doctrine. "Note how the doctrine was set forth at the birth of Christ Luke 135. And at the baptism of Christ the three persons again are brought before us.

With burning words born of a sincere heart, he implored the large congregation to put its trust in God. One's new year program is incomplete if God has not been given an important place in it. One's hopes, desires, aspirations and needs are known to his heavenly Father. One should therefore approach Him with childlike trust, asking Him not only for the sustenance of his physical life, but for the spiritual nourishment which the earth thou and dieth. One should always pray, "Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowel he thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth," making this the real formula of life, that shall guide one in all his relations towards men. To partake of one's "daily bread" means to have every aspect of one's nature administered to by the life giving energy of God.

It realizes that a door of opportunity has been opened to it, and it weeds out all means within its power to make the very best of its opportunities. Dr J. J. Jeffs, evangelist, is with us for the next ten nights, ending January 18, and the church is awakened spiritually as it has not been in years. The pastor preached at both vows on Sunday last and new lives were taken in at both serv- ers. It was at the Sunday school that the Revival trust was most evident.

Seen in the gallery on the tuesday, John Bumby, 10, charles D Martin pastor Siloam Presbyterian Church The purpose of the morning hour of worship at Silicon Bay George Shippen Stark pastor, was most appropriate for the first Sunday of the new year. The text was found in Joel 2:28, and dwell in the promise of Divine Power. In that discourse the pastor marked the importance of the side of the power of God, the greatest things accomplished in the world's awakening, in plucked through the power of God. That when man is not there, he reacts to hope, that the dream of the old are seen and traced by the past. The religion of Jesus is a religion of hope and inspiration. Religion is the greatest factor in the civilization of man, the greatest power in the world, the greatest God manifested through Christ. The Sacrament of the Lord's Sacrament was admonished at the morning hour of worship. The following persons were reeved on the man bishop of the Sacred Heart of the Virgin Mary, Mrs. Marion Harding the bishop of the Virgin Mary, Mr. Iddol the bishop of the Virgin Mary, Mr. Larry the bishop of the Virgin Mary, Mr. Bobby the bishop of the Virgin Mary, the bishop has already been reeved on the bishop actually for the coming season and will have some interesting programs to present at various times The evening hour of worship the Sacrament of the Lord's Sacrament was on admission to the bishop led by the young people in their Fellowship Organization and the outlook is that it will be a potent factor not only in the educational life but equally so in its spiritual life.

His sermons were expressions of what his luminous mind say and his warm heart felt, and will imply repay the most careful study, for he is indeed a thinker of christianity. Through his enterprise and energy and perseverance, with the assistance of the pastor, and the support of loyal christians, a number of people were brought into the church. The Sunday school and Christian Endeavor services were interesting and uplifting and in these departments, as well as in the main church, the members are conforming to proposed plans for the work work and in making this the greater year. In spite of weather conditions, all services of the day were well attended. The cantata, "Bethlehem Echoes," will be rendered by the church school choir on the evening of January 17.

Dr. Jeltz a gospel singer of Missouri, led the singing during the week of prayer. The purpose of this week of prayer was for Christians to get the spiritual strength needed in the coming year.

At the morning hour he spoke from Genesis 28:22. He stressed the thought that the soul's gratitude is evidenced in services. He beautifully portrayed the life character of Jacob after he had been at Bethel and stated that we should, like Jacob, remember our father's God and serve him. Several times he named the name. While the services in the morning were largely attended there was still over them, because our beloved pastor, Dr. Edward T. Tyler, had lost his dear wife, Mrs. Mythleh.

But it is similarly encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's education and annual turning out of two or three hundred women and women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a commandable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did to radiate from a center like Tuskegee the light of the homely but ever living structure which must form the basis of real advance for his rise or for any race.

Adams stated that the wise and noble thing to do is to place oneself in the direct line for favor from God, rather than in the line to obstruct His intentions Dr. Freaze, a missionary in the Congo, under the American Baptist Foreign Mission Board, on furlough, told at the evening service, that the reason he practiced there rather than here was that he was conscious always that were not conscious that would be more apt victim in the Congo, while here not all doctors could make that statement.

Lardner—is the inspirer of the widely popular comic strip, "You. Know Me. Al." which will soon appear regularly in The New York Age. This is a feature which has a following of millions of chuckling readers in the big centers of population, and this is the first time that "You Know Me. Al." has appeared outside of the larger dailies. We congratulate our selves and you on being able to sign this outstanding star of humor for your entertainment. Mr. Lardner's stories about the furry, blustering, good-hearted bonehead of baseball, Jack Keefe, have been running in the magazines for some dozen years. Many of our readers will therefore need no introduction to him. However, the comic strip version will be a novelty which will find immediate favor, for here we have in condensed, pictorial form the high lights of this classic of American humor. Mr. Larrner writes in a taut, nervous picturesque style which so well expresses the rushing, overpowering America of today that his vivid phrasing has come to be known as "Americanese." In the realm of baseball he has produced the most entertaining character that the sport knows. In fact, to millions of people Jack Keefe is just as real as Babe Ruth. Watch for "You Know Me, Al." Each is a complete humorous anecdote in itself in that easiest of meditums—the comic strip. This version of the celebrated stories offers a laughable satire on the weaknesses of men of the diamond, et al. You know that a fan in order to be a rabid "You Know Me, Al" fan. It is a comic strip for everybody. Tuskegee Has Strong Girls' Basketball Team Ustakege Institute, Ala.—Coach Amelia C. Roberts, head mentor of the girls' basketball team, has begun practice and the indications point to a successful season. Seven veterans have reported for duty and a promising assortment of new material responded to the coach's call. Since practice began, ten days ago, the Collis P. Huntington gymnasium has been one of the busiest spots on the campus as the girls are fighting hard for places on the Varsity team. The litho Ruth Hill, star performer, captain of the team for this year did not return to school. Elise Birse Little, Little Rock, elevated to the position of captain, will make the team a capable opponent. Birch is a dangerous opponent, with uncanny ability to locate the hoop in all angles of the floor. Matt Lindsay, a capable and head player; Fidelia Adams, Marie Clark, Cora Chambers, Ester Barton and Theresa Adams complete the first string of Coach Roberts' hardwood runners. Among the most promising of the new candidates are Odessa Dawson, Anniston, Ala.; Reba Francis, Tyler, Texas, Myrtle Napair, Tulsa, Okla. Theresa Crawford, Arcadia, La. Bettie Steel, Fort Worth, Texas, and Aletha Brown, Galveston, Texas. Diminutive Marie Clark, one of the fastest girls on the team, is showing considerable improvement in her work and she is another who is able to do the basket from almost any floor position. Theresa Adams, whose working last year earned her advenience to the artistry, will be counted upon to do good work this season. Among the new candidates doing the best work on the wood are Theresa Crawford and Odessa Dawson. It appears that Coach Roberts has excellent "finds" in these two cage candidates. The schedule calls for games with Calhoun Colored School, American Institute, Talladega College Atlanta University, State Normal School, the Union Spring High School, the Fuscaloosa County Training School and the Community Centre Girls of Columbus, Ga. Atlanta University 11 Defeats Prairie View In Thrilling Contest Atlanta University 11 Defeats Prairie View In Thrilling Contest Houston, Tex. - With only 15 sec- onds to play and with a majority of the 10,000 spectators putting on their wraps thinking the post-sea- son football game between Atlanta University and Prairie View Col- lege played here on New Year's Day, would end in a 0:00 tie. Red Jones, backfield star of Atlanta inter- cepted a forward pass and raced 80 yards for a touchdown. Thus giving the Atlanta team a 7-0 victory in the greatest inter-sectional contest ever staged among colored schools. At home inward wall of each team was impregnable and both team elected to play a cautious game there was nothing spectacular for the spectators until Jones made his great run. It was the first contest between these two schools and nei- ther wanted to spoil it record for the season. This whole race in Texas seemed interested in the game and the spe- ciation all seemed. There were many offenses and afflictions in the Mark nullisky, left, quarterback and Prince center, stars in the Texas team with Wiggins. McPheron Jones, and Stanley were the slinging bigs for Monta IN THE AGE Be Sensible and Dance Advises Bill Robinson The conventional portrait of an old fashioned individual in his complacent fifteens, essaying in a birthday interview to publish a reliable recipe for keeping young via the sensible-habits-of-living route, has no counterpart in the case of Bill Robinson, the little and lean veteran tan dancer in the production of Lew Shels's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Elfinge Theatre. Bill Robinson's idea of sensible living is just keeping active and he impresses on everybody the wholehearted effects to he derived from dancing. "It is not a matter of psychology, or philosophy of life," said the actor, "I don't pretend to know about that. I can only speak of what dancing has done for me and what it is likely to do for others who go at it purposefully enough. "The professional dancer, for instance, has no health complexes. He exercises so regularly and intensively that his body is in good running order. He can eat plentifully and well because reducing never begins to be his problem, and his arteries are used to the well-balanced stimulation of an unusually active life. H doesn't catch colds easily because he does not tire easily and his system is kept chronically free from congestions. That he sleeps soundly is a foregone conclusion. Best of all he does little worrying. His work is a tonic. "Look around at the people you know socially—aren't those who dance a lot usually healthy and cheerful? Nerve specialists encourage dancing. As long as I keep on stepping, I'll feel that I am not on my last legs." THEATRICAL JOTTINGS "Deep Harlem," with Whitney and Tutt, opened Monday at the Biltmore Theatre, New York City.

THE NEW YORK AGE "Lights of New York," Talking Picture, At Lafayette Next Week True to its policy of giving its patrons the very best and the very latest in theatrical entertainment the Lafayette Theatre announces the first of its talking pictures for next week. A great deal has been said and written about "bound" and talking devices in our theatres, it remained for the ever-watchable management of the Lafayette Theatre to bring to its patrons the latest and most remarkable development in the theatre. And what more, the same policy of high-class, easily accessible changes every week—which has found such favor in Harlem—will be continued on an even larger scale than ever before. The "Bliphone" installation at the Lafayette Theatre is one of the finest in the city. It permits of the use of all sound and talking pictures—Vitaphone, as well as Movioteone. The voices of the world's greatest singers the antics of the world's greatest comedians the music of the world's greatest orchestras the acting of the world's greatest dramatic artists, will now be brought for the patrons of the Lafayette to see and to hear. Exaggerated as it sounds, it is nevertheless true, and the theatre Lafayette can point proudly to its program and truthfully state that nowhere in this city is there a theatre which offers such splendid, elaborate and varied entertainment at such low prices. The feature picture next week will be "Lights of New York"—a 100 per cent talking picture "Lights of New York" is a stirring meltdrama of Broadway and New York's underworld. The cast is one of the finest ever assembled in a motion-picture. They all talk—giving a performance at once wonderful and unique—surpassing anything that can be done on stage or screen alone. The stage program also deserves lengthy mention for it brings two of the most popular comedians on the colored stage (Sand) Burns and Sam Russell, at the head of a company of some forty sterling player. This cast includes Inez Dennis, Apis Brooke, George Wiltshire, Cecil Rivers, Flo Brown, Russel Lee, Chunk Robinson, Daisy Wright, Flinor Johnson, Alto Oates. Billy Higgins Now Star Of The Alhambra Revue "The Surprise Party," at which Billy Higgins is host, is a record-breaker for laughs at the Alhambra Popular Viola McCoy is among the mery-makers, also Johnny Lee Long, Alma Travis, Willie Bryant, Pigmeat, Ted Blackman, George Randol, Doris Rheebottom and others, of course the sixteen Alhambra Girls. Manda Randolph, for this week only, steps out of the revue into a creepy mystery play, "The Ghost House." Her part, however, is all fun. The audience wildly applauded the appearance of their favorite with the drama players. When the unexpected finish of the mystery play comes, one is caught with a thrill and a laugh at the same instant. If this is a fair sample of the 1929 model of Alhambra shows, it looks like a jolly season for Harlem. The picture feature is "Wages of Conscience with Herbert Rawlinson." The Wednesday midnight show will have some extra special surprises for patrons, it is promised "Ready Money" is the enticing title of the revue for next week at the Alhambra. Billy Higgins says there will be plenty of "ready money" flashed, but it will likely be "stage money" which doesn't inj anything but laughs. The Alhambra drama players will be Kentucky mountaineers for the week. The play is "The Moonshiner's Daughter dealing with the bitter feud" between the Clayton and the Blackburns and how have finally tied a way to the mountain warfare of two proud families. To complete the triple program there will be the picture feature, "Top Sergeant Mulligan", in which daddy Lida Lee will be seen Choruses and "Speedy" Smith at the Lincoln Chorususes within the past few years have played a great part in adding to the attractiveness of the present day revue. It took the Lincoln theatre to go local twice one better this week when a double chorus made its appearance with "Getting Hot", the revue headed by "Speedy" Smith which came to town for a week's run at the 135th Street house. The result is that both ends work to outside each other and patterns of the huge benefit by it. As stated by a number of well known performers, Speedy, who will be remembered as one of the great "7-11" got off a great start on his fondness of despite the sudden and fond audiences have found much at the Lincoln to warrant their attendance. "The Apache", a Columbia feature production, is the picture of office of the Lincoln Theatre the latter half of the week commence on Thursday, as one of three pictures which linger in the memory. Like the interest throughout the season showing and of the influence away wishing that there had been several of them. The play will develop the statistical and continuing and the pictures nationally well cast. The thematic backgrounds are worthy of special mention. 10th Sensational Month AMERICA'S UNRIVALLED REVUE HIT!

By JAMES B. CLARKE. Hampton Institute — The A. & T. College basketeers who hail from Greenbush, N. C., sit alive at the at hands of Coach C. D. WILLIAMS' Blue and White quintet, 50, in the Hampton Institute gymnasium. This is the first game for the Seasiders in collegiate circles. However, they have waived to their credit for attending the Newport News Y. M. A team during the Chicago holidays. Both teams showed fluff, and spread throughout the game, which was fast and free from delinquency. Chief among scorers for the Blue and White was Measure, sturdy right forward, who caged a basket whenever the opportunity presented itself. Alex is about the most consistent of the five. He accounted twenty-three points, thereby placing him as high point man. Edward Hargrove of football basketball, track, and basketball fame is back with Hampton after an absence of a couple of years, holding down the center position. Although Hargrove is rather lacking in height his floor work, guarding gabity, and make up for it. The floorwork of the Aggie five was not of such a quality that it could stop the frequent outbreaks of spit exhibited by the Hampton quintet, but ever one can see that there are great possibilities in the team as a whole and especially in such men as DeBerry, the A and T left forward, who was high point scorer for his team and begging in guard Hampton (46) FG FT 1 Alexander 11 1 4 Cotton lt 1 1 1 Hargrove 3 3 2 Taylor (C) 2 3 McGowan l. 1 2 Jones 1 1 Hunt 0 1 Fletche 0 0 Coles 1 0 0 Wollton 0 1 0 18 10 14 A and F (20) McNair lt 0 0 1 Delberry lt 0 0 4 Streator c 0 4 Kornegay re 2 1 3 Taylor lt 0 0 2 Faulk 1 0 3 White 0 1 1 Tucker 0 1 2 Jew II 1 1 2 Keterte, Lance, Fort Monroe, Limer A S Brown (Hampton), Scott James B Clarke (Hampton) December Honor Roll.

WHITE PRESENT-DAY CONDITIONS WITH NEGRO MUSICIANS SHOW WHAT APPEARS TO BE RETROGRESSION IN THE PROFESSION The opening of 1929 finds the current music season moving along at about the midway station. So far, there has been little of special interest other than the return of Roland Hayes, tenor, after a year's vacation in European musical centers, and of Marilan Anderson the young Philadelphia contralto, after a season of study and concertizing in London. The various organizations functioning along musical lines have seemingly pursued the even tenor of their way, but they have not offered their public anything of 'great or even special consequence' the Hall Johnson Choir, the Eva Jessey Singers, Margetson's Schubert Musical Club and Nixon's Philharmonic Club were among the most active, the first two covering, perhaps, a wider range than the last two, since they were heard in engagements before audiences in large downtown auditoriums, and, in case of the Hall Johnson group, before the mammoth crowds that throng the Lewishow Stadium for the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra summer nights' concerts. Of the professional musician groups, the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, playing at the Roeland hallroom, seems to have maintained the most consistent record of achievement in the entertaining line. Over in Brooklyn, the Charlie Sheets' Orchestra has held as the feature organization at the Strand Danceland, and the Carl Brown Orchestra also maintains its prestige. But taking a retrospective view of the musical field, the evidence seems to point to a failure on part of the Negro musician to make any appreciable advance, or even to hold his own. There is ample reason to believe that the musical entertainer has lost ground, and that he is not as popular an attraction as in times past. Those familiar with conditions say that this is largely the musician's own fault, since he has not exerted himself to attain such development as is necessary to continued progress. This neglect has allowed the white musician to stop in and win for himself much of the prestige and patronage which was once vested in the Negro. And, too, there has been a lack of proper coordination of efforts, a lack of cooperation among the musicians. There are a number of so called orchestras in Harlem, which are known under the title of some individual leader, but the leader's name is the only element of permanence, for the personed of the group frequently changes with each engagement filled. When the reputed leader secures an engagement, he hires whatever men are available and this means, in most cases, a different set of men for each engagement. At any rate, some of the players are almost certain to be changed. This, perhaps, does not apply to such groups as are regularly employed in the various night clubs and dance halls in Harlem, for these players are employed as a unit on a weekly salary and are not available for calls to fill transient engagements. But these men constitute but a small proportion of the group of musicians who are in the community, and who are dependent upon last-minute calls for an opportunity to make their living. It was suggested in this column some time ago that Negro musicians might find a remedy for some of their rills in the elimination of selfishness and in a getting-together for their mutual interest. However valuable the suggestion may have been, it was met at the outset with the selfish attitude of most of the leaders who are unwilling to subordinate their personalities or to share their so called prestige with any other. An undercurrent of jealousy makes itself the medium of an invidious activity which is directed always against every other musician who makes any pretention to group leadership. There is no census of Negro musicians available. The two principal musical organizations, the New Amsterdam Musical Association and the Chel Club, might, through their rosters, give some idea of the number of men engaged in New York City in musical efforts but there would probably be a number of duplications, as well as the names of a number of men who are no longer active. But the fact stands out that there are more men available than there are usually jobs for them, and so it follows that, except in the case of the few orchestras having regular employment, that some of the men get more employment than others. And this brings in the question of ability¹ The musician who is content with his present accomplishment is the one usually left in the ruck. Constant study and application are necessary to advancement, and the musician who applies himself is the one who usually is given the preference in the matter of employment. There will be a crowd of mediocre performers, always struggling for recognition, but seemingly unable to realize that hard work is necessary to raise them out of the mire of mediocriticism. And it is this class of ill-prepared men which is primarily responsible for the Negro musician's retrogression. Instead of the few really good instrumental groups now operating, the race should have scores. But it is doubtful if a sufficient number of capable men can be found to supply this need. A combination of the numerous straggling units and harmonious cooperation among the men would furnish a solid basis for future operation and then it would be more feasible to raise the standard of ability required. It the tinnier musicians. PAUL C. BOLIN, ORGANIST FOR THIRTY YEARS AT ST. PHILIP'S P. E. CHURCH, IS HONORED AT TESTIMONIAL MUSICALE One of the most interesting events of the current musical season was the musicie on Sunday evening, January 6, 6 to 7 p.m. at St. Peter's Church, the Rev Hutchins C. Bishop, rector, in honor of petition of thirty years of service by Paul C. Bolin, organist who was under auspice of a parish committee, with representa- tion of the vestry and the congregation, and it was followed with anation and reception to Mr. Bolin in the church school, audition which the vestry, through its treasurer, William D. Putray, provided Mr. Bolin an envelope containing $300 square array of artists gave the program in the main auditorium church, which was well-filled with an interested and appre- sioned. The artists appearing on the program were Dr. Mel- tion, musical director, organist, Union Theological Seminary, Presbyterian Church, Edward Murch, boy soprano in church, Dr. Harry I. Burleigh, baritone soloist, St. Clement Pius I. Worc, and host David I. Martin H. collist, Arthur Smith S. School of Music, and Miss Carlette C. organist in impaired two organ groups, the ocean, being Screwell. Mr. H. Home and an excerpt from Wagner's "Die Meister other number, which ended the program, was the Tragic Fantasy" by Thiele all of the numbers being Dr. Charlton's masterly style. Maurice Murch displayed a powerful and pleasing voice, singing Hope lovely are Thy dwellings fair" and "He shall defend Maurice with Miss Thomas at the organ. The other vocal a splendid interpretation by Dr. Burieigh of Stanford's 19th Paint and a traditional Christmas Song, in which the use of dichon and dramatic power were striking feats. He served as accompanist for these numbers, all of which were an 'Andante' Canvabile by Catalina by Goldman, played by Mr. Martin, and a Adare by Mendelssohn and a Romance by Wenman. We must. Both artists gave excellent renditions, diagonal depth of tone and facility of execution. The use of which have been installed in St. Philip's auditorium, might be dispensed with in the stringed instrument numbers, as the use of artificial tone carrying continuances was unnecessary, giving it too much intensity to the already vibrant quality of both violin and Harlton accompanied both players Living at a place of the program, spoke in praise, appeared tion of Mr. Bolin's service over the thirty-year period, and minded the audience to the reception downstairs. In responding to Mr. Potray's presentation speech, Mr. Bolin declared himself as "too full for utterance," but that he wanted to say that the St. Philip's people had always been kind and most friendly to him, and that the only wished that every church musician had as fine a set of people to work with. Dr Bishop convulsed the assemblage by explaining that he could well understand Mr. Bolin's being "too full for utterance," since the organist had dined that day at the rectory, and that "it was not a prohibition dinner." Mr. Bolin, a native of Poughkeepsie, after preparatory studies in that city, came to New York and studied the phaltofore under James Hunicket at the National Conservatory, commuting daily from his home town. His organ work was with Hemintho, formerly of Carnegie Hall, Pittsburgh. While studying with Hemintho, the opportunity came to take the organ at St Philip's when in West 85th street, succeeding Mr. Knauy, who had long served the church, and who had resigned. This was in September, 1898, and at that time using Melville Charlton was playing the piano which was used at the services in addition to the organ. Further study for the training and directing of a boys' vested choir was pursued by Mr. Bolin under Hulfenstein of Graecchus church and studbs of St Agnes Chapel Mr. Bolin has achieved the unusual record of being absent from his duties only two Sundays during the thirty years, and these were caused by illness during 1928. ROLAND HAYES MAKES SECOND NEWYORK APPEARANCE BEFORE AUDIENCE THAT IS WILDLY ENTHUSIASTIC. APPRECIATIVE The preeminence of Roland Hayes, tenor, on the concert stage of this country was never more clearly demonstrated than on Sunday afternoon, January 6, when Carnegie Hall, with its spacious reaches, was packed to suffocating capacity with many scores being turned away, by an audience that not only exhibited its enthusiastic appreciation throughout his entire program, but refused to be satisfied with the programed and liberally added numbers, and stood determinedly and applauded, waving hats, canes, umbrellas, handkerchiefs, calling "Bravos," and demanding further musical pabulum. The demonstration lasted until the house staff, in desperation finally turned off the lights, compelling the reluctant audience to regretfully turn away and leave the auditorium. It was full time, for the singer, in addition to fifteen programed numbers, had responded to the insistence of his hearers with nearly a dozen encores, and he must have wellnigh physically exhausted. The singing of Roland Hayes, on this occasion, showed a continued artistic growth, coupled with a technical mastery of his vocal organs that enabled him to bring to his hearers an interpretation of his songs of the most unusual sort. He again evidenced the fact that in his mezzo voice he is comparable, producing exquisite tone shadings and nuances, and evincing a delicate sureness in all of his attacks. There are those who say that Mr. Hayes' voice lacks robustness, but this does not apply to the voice that was heard on this occasion. When there was need for it, the singer brought forth tones almost clarion in their strength, with a bell-like purity and fineness. That he makes much use of his middle voice should not mislead the hearers. It is an artistic expression of what is perhaps his most pleasing attribute, and wisely does he bring it much into evidence for the pleasure of the listener and the gratification of his own sense of the dramatic. The opening group of songs consisted of two German songs by Josef Hayel "Stets barg die hebe sie" and "Heller blink" and an aria, "Le repos de la Sante Familie," from "L'Enfance du Christ" by Hector Berlioz, and they were delightfully rendered. Three songs and an aria in French composed the second group, "Mon bras pressait" by Widor, "Extase" by Dupare; "Le Thé" by Koechlin, and the "Air of Azalea" from "L'Enfant Prodigue" by Derybusy. The Koechlin number had to be repétitée, and it was in the Debusy area that the tenor reached his greatest dramatic heights. "If any fault is to be found, it is that there were, now and then, the emphasizing of passages in a rather explosive manner rather than with a smooth approach to a climax. The third group was the most unusual offering of the afternoon being made up of songs by Charles I. Griffes and Blair Fearchild, with lyrics from the Chinese, and a Japanese song about "Cherry Trees," in the original language. The Chinese songs, in English, were "So-Fei gathering flowers" (poem by Wing Chang-Ling; circa 750 A. D) and A Peast of Lanterns" (poem by Yuan Mei, A 1) 172-1797), set to music by Griffes; and "The Red Cockatoo" (from Old Chinese Poem) for Fairchild. The Japanese number was "Sakura" by Yoshinori Matsuyama. The final group included four Negro Spirituals—"Done made my vow to the Lord," "It's me O Lord," arranged by Gustav Klemm, "Jesus, lay your head in the Winder," an effective arrangement by Hall Johnson, and Mr Hayes' own arrangement of "I can't stay away." They were given with deep reverence and sympathy which was not impaired by sophistication of utterance. Among the numerous encores were a Handel song. Would you gain a tender creature, a song from the Russian, words by Puskhin, the great Negro poet, with musical setting by Rachmannoff—"Songs of Georgia," other Spirituals, including "Lazy time I feel the Spirit" and "Goin' Home," and the Negro work song, "Water Boy." The accompanist was R Perelval Parham, who was formerly Mr Hayes' secretary, and who has succeeded the capable William Lawrence, now studying singing in Paris. Mr Parham's work was noted with special interest because of the high standard set by his predecessor. He proved to be a capable and sympathetic coadjutor, with promise of attaining additional polish as he become more experienced.

The party was a joyous one and ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Installations seemed to be the order of the day, on Monday, January 7, as the Clet Club and the New Amsterdam Musical Association both held their installation on that date. The Clet Club's installation was held at Charles Thorpe's place in the city and was attended by over 100 members. After the ceremony was completed a meeting was held at which, among other things it was moved, seconded and passed that the dates of the club's payable by members, shall be 51 per year. No doubt the club will be able to afford the of the club can easily be text by current monthly inflow of business and why should they be burdened by quarterly dues. The time is drawing near for the city to hand over the check for the erstwhile club premises in 53rd street which the city condemned several months ago. Opium does not appear to be unanimous as to whether to purchase another club house with the same street - line, whether a big melon should be cut and dripped into the hand to cut a number, provided a legal way is bound to do it. The Club is outseamed in its hope that reason, will prevail and that the Clerk Club will always have to point to not only a name but some substance called 1 time. New Year's Eve results are on. The usual cancellations, disappointments and last minute hosting. One club is reported to have cancelled its last event and banations. This same club booked a drummer for $45 and he never turned up to play the job. Must have been some strong inducement to keep it. The drummer from such a job another drummer was assured. Players at one of the studios on the 8th avenue in a 3-piece combination the pianist found himself seated at one of the real baby grand pianos, perfect in tone and pitch and beamed up with the music and the valves. Every time the pianist, forget self, his basses would depend on the imhaghany part of the Lilliputian piano. But the party was pleasant, the price right, and the wine was good. Why should a piano player worry about a new tumbled fingers? And the pianist Carlisle pianist, its director of the music at St Nicholas Rink. Two orchestras are used there on two different flues. Carlisle conducts one and the smaller one on the other floor is in charge of the piano player. Hurley. From current piano player, appeared that Saturday night John Hurley in the dance hall and had a hustle argument with the sailors who patronized the floor on which Hurley was playing. None of the orchestra was hurt or damaged. Business was going on as usual on Sunday night at the dance hall under the watchful eye of guardians of the law. By reports of the members of the orchestra (carole recently has been much annoyed by the actions of a late member of the orchestra. It is said Carole could have endangered the liberty of this refracting instrument but has refrained from this cause. Gus Creagh has for years been working for a man who is Manager of dance halls. Gus has worked for him so long and known birds so well GIVEN BIG OVATION ROLAND HAYES At Curregie Hall Last Sunday that on the last contract signed between Gus and the manager, Gus secured a contract without a 2 weeks clause, which practically meant that Creagh's job would last for all time; dance games would for all time; and before, all went on fine, the crowds were built up, good consistent business, then, after months of harmony, this manager actually locked them out the night succeeding pay night. Summoned to the Trial Board of Local 802, the manager has given Gus the band and go but was directed to take back the band and tender Gus two weeks notice. The white orchestra which had supplanted Gus was not lied by the patrons and he was welcomed on his return to the band. The two of the 2 weeks, Gus and his men, at the manager's request agreed to stay on the Job. Now nearly ten weeks have passed and the boss has risen in arms again, gave Gus notice in the middle of the week and was (almost) did not intend toAgent notice in mid-week Creghan and his orchestra's time soon expires. They could fight the boss through the Union, but what's the wisdom of remaining on a job when you are not wanted, to create friction from them no one can handle. So whole orchestra is satisfied to come out—until next time.

AND DONE “AMONG POLLAN EMPLOYES 5 By YAMS mM. HOOAE d go 8 nnn tt REASONS FOR OPTIMISM dhe Pullman situation, so far as the porters are, concerned, be- ging the New Year with many potential improvements in the offing. Fe fack the Pullman potentiometer gives promise of reaching a new mark on its industrial dial, As we view the situation, the porters have good reasons for optimism as tha year begins, ‘The first and most definite reason for this feeling is the wage! conference, which, it: Js said, will be called shortly. Just how long Sshortly"* means in this case, may only be assumed as meaning in the next two or three months at the earliest. The porters’ employer sel dom does things on the apur of the moment, even to the discharging of uts employees. And whece the all-important matter of money is In- volved, even its moat loyal employees will have to admit that it is fv. grevhound for spect. Nevertheless, the prospects of mors money. Gnd better working conditions for the group are bright just now, ihe second reason for optimism among the group ia the declara- thon accredited Mr, E, F, Carry, president of the Pullman Company, a: tne recent annual meeting of the P. A B, A in Chicago. Accord- ing 10 Mr, Eugene Roundtree, who was the New York delegate to that mecting, and who wrote an epitomized account of te proceedings jor this column, Mr, Carry was cited as having said that he was “in sympathy with the efforts of the colored race to overcome all economic barriers and and succeed in racial development.” Hé" was further quoted as saying thes the race would get a square deal with the Pull- man Company. With such statements coming from the head of the porters’ employer, the basis for an optimistic outlook is substantially good. . ‘Irue, Negroes in all walks of life have had promises of similar nature made to them regarding economic barriers and racial develop- ment, which promises, only in a few cases, have been forgotten by the avowers aa soon as uttered. Still, despite the triteness of all such declarations, their utterance usually establishes hope in the breasts of those to whom they are addreased. a The next rexson for viewing the Pullman potentiometer (a poten- uometer is an instrament for measuring the potential) with encourage- ment 15 the ‘growth, influenée and fraternalism which have developed in the Pullman Porters Benefit Association. By its recent action in temembering ts members, who have suffered prolonged illnesses, it has established a precedent, the nature of which no member can fore- cll how far it will extend along the line of aid to the membership. Taking the situation on the whole, none but tte most pessimistic among the porters bave reasons other than to believe that the future portends much for the group in the way of betterment, LAMENTS NEGRO’S MENTAL INERTIA | 7 : Lous White, an @-Pallman porter, who takes life seriously, 1a- ments the average Negro’s mental inertia In a recent letter to this column, Mr. White asks this pertinent question: “Should we not read more” ” By reading mora, he asserts, we would think more. His expostu- lation on the subject follows: “In early times, when few people lost the art of reading. t was reserved to the upper class to perform this function, Therefore, the Church, the Courts and the officers of the local government, conveyed to the masses their only knowledgy of right and wrong, so far as the two actions affected their lives. “The meagre teaching of these mentors was safe from interferenoy. however pernicious or wise their instruction might have been. The Bible had to be accepted in its ontity. Those subjects which were mysterious, remain so, without ong word of doubt or question, It was purely and simply a custom of the times, “Today. all that has changed. That is, it has changed among evézy rade but the Negro race. In this modern age, where magazines and other periodicals of turrent events may be secured for a song, only the most ambitious and pretemtious of our race are given to reading. What the majority read is mostly the tabloids, which are neither in- stractive nor truthful. “A race that will not read (this includes the history of its own race) will not learn, “Napoleon said: Show mw a family of readers, and I will show you a people who will rule the whole. Perhaps, that ‘s one of the reasons why the Caucasians are ruling the world today. They read, and they think.” . ae tt Under the auspices of its Ladies Auxiliary. the Pullman Porters Athletic and Social Club entertained a gathering of friends at its home, 105 West 136 street, on Tuesday, January 1, New Year's day. The en- tertainment was in the Aature of a house party. which this organiza- tion holds on the first day of exch year. 2 This year, the auxiliary of the club, which has grown to be 2 de- lghtful adjunet to the club's social activities, surprised Mr. Bowe, thc president Mr. Perkins, chairman‘ of the housq committee, Mrs. Clair, the bookkeeper, and the three stewards of the club, by presenting cach with a New Year's’Gift. Tie Steward's gifts were in money. In words shat expressed sincerity, as well es surprise, the president, on behalf of himself and the other receivers, thanked the donors for their kindly remembrances. Jn addition to this feature, the party included gumes and dancing, after which a tasteful luncheon was served. The president of the auniliary 1s Mrs. A. Lee. Whether you are conservative or whether you are a radical, this Mem from .the column of “Labor's Plan and Problems," by John J. Leary. in the Sunday World of January 6, should give every man in industrial employment feed for consideration, The items read: | “There is much tallé of the dead line at forty. Now comes the report that a chain organization operating from coast te coast, has advised its local managers gradually to weed out the ide employees and hire none mong than a year or two above thirty, >ave where it may be absolutely necessary.” ‘This industrial frat is unknown to Pullman employees, and per- haps, will never bq put into effect so far as they are concemed, still "" furnishes something for mental digestion. One thing it does in farticular, It gives a warning that the age limit mn big industry is weing lowered every year. The age of retirement in the railroad service is 70, but each” year those im this service find themselves being retired before they reach this mark — What the employer may do, in retaining this penod of “surement for the employee, is problematic at present, but it 13 obst- ius each day that the 70-year old employes is becoming a person of the past. ‘This 18 a situation which the employes cannot remedy, but he can make provimons to meet it. To the case of Pullman porters, ocr advio is this: Join the As- weeratlan of veteran and retired Pullman porters. One of the objects of this organization, as we understand it, is to promote ways and mans by which the retired porter wil] have = supplementary income.

The membership group seemed to be having an especially good time as we were "of the 'Y. W. C. A.'" This trip was inspired by the fact that a large number of new members had not seen the building and were not familiar with the activities carried on here. Therefore, the group visited the departments and saw them all and felt well and quite eye-opening also. The members were so inspired by the class in tap dancing of youngsters and grown-ups that they decided to spend next Thursday in the gymnasium and be participants in the fun rather than ookelovers. After the meeting, talked with them about some of the phases of the work here and the real meaning of membership and answered questions. Plans were discussed for the members' annual meeting and banquet on Thursday, January 24 at 7:30. Tickets for the dinner on table were limited because of the limited space in the rooms here. The Beaux-Arts Club girls were not out on Thursday in quite such large numbers as usual but there was a good-sized group at that, and the schedule for the year was most planned to include music appreciation, planning of personal budgets, clothes talks, psychology, a theatre party, several other parties, a midwinter conference, some plays and a good many other things. The Beaux-Arts Club girls are basically rehearsing for a play which they will give on January 25.
