ANOTHER WOMAN TO SERVE BOARD OF ALDERMEN Queens Co. Republicans Name Mrs. Winslow To Succeed Harvey
The designation of Mrs. Ipha M. Winslow of Rosedale as a candidate for the Board of Alderman from Queens County to succeed Ursula Harvey elected as Borough President of Queens was made by the Queens County Republican Committee by a vote of 86 to 58 as against Major John Holley Clark Jr, who had been named as the choice of Mr. Harvey. The formal election of Mrs. Winslow took place on Tuesday at the regular session of the Board of Alderman, and makes certain the continuance of a woman Republican in Queens County. A Republican, has resigned to take her seat in Congress to which she was elected at the last election.
Had Supported Clark
Major Clark was supei by Mrs Winslow, following his being named as chancellor of the new Borough President, but charges were made by Carl Vogel, chief of the Bureau of Elections in Queens, that Clark had asked to consult a Republican last fall, and those charges were seemingly substantiated by the records. This charge was denied by both Major Clark and Samuel Jones, who nominated him.
Following this development Mrs Winslow entered the race and was nominated by Deputy Attorney General William B. Groat, who read a letter from Mrs Winslow showing she considered herself a candidate.
The meeting was held in Eagle Palace, Jamaica, a call of Joseph H. DeBragga, chairman of the County Committee, and William Boardman presided.

Rockefeller's Resident Manager I Address to Interracial Conferen Tells How Apartments Helped Han
The problem of housing the masses that throng Harlem has attracted the attention of many of the leading authorities and experts both in America and Europe, and it is interesting to note that Claude M. Leigh, largest owner of houses for workingmen in London, has declared the Rockefeller development, the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments in New York City, to be the greatest contribution he has seen toward bettering housing conditions.
This opinion was cited by Roscoe Conkling Bruce, resident manager of the Rockefeller development, as the text for an address he delivered before the National Interracial Conference held in Washington last month Mr. Bruce gave a resume of housing conditions, particularly in Harlem, pointing out some of the unfavorable conditions which obtain, giving as one of the reasons the largely increased migration of Negroes from the South to the Nort; as a result of labor shortages, caused by the return to Europe of alien conscripts, and by a large accession of West Indian residents
One of the outstanding considerations of the management is in its provisions for the health of the little community. Not only have the apartments a maximum of light and air, stated the resident manager, but health literature from all avail-
Evils Needing A Remedy.
Excessive rentals necessitating pernicious overcrowding of rooms under unsanitary and immoral conditions, absentee landlordism and rapacious real estate men as a contributing factor to high rentals; the indiscriminate admixture of decent and indecent people in close residence in the tenements, are all set forth by Mr. Bruce—in leading up to a consideration of the benefits offered to Harlem and its residents by the Dunbar Apartments.
After a general description of the architectural and landscape features in which simplicity of design is a dominant feature, with one half of the entire site, which covers a large block designated gardens, with a maximum area in rooms placed upon a minimum land area—incidentally recalling that this building group was awarded the Architects First Prize in 1927—Mr. Bruce recites the terms under which tenants have secured apartments in this development.
Lease System Operation.
In explaining the lease system in operation, it is stated that the tenant must first buy on a liberal installment basis an amount of the common stock of the corporation equivalent in value to the apartment desired. Then the purchaser is allowed to lease the apartment for a period of three years, with the privilege of applying for a further lease at end of that period or he may request the corporation to resell his stock at par. The stock cannot be sold in any other manner. In use the tenant clears to sell his stock he must give up to the apartment and the lease provider for its restoration to the original condition the cost of redecoration being substituted from the original down payment, which is at the rate of $50 a room. The corporation has also established stringent rules to preserve a desirable tenancy, holding the power to sever the tenancy in case of objectionable conduct on part of the tenant or in case undesirable visitors at lease immoral or dissolute conduct are received by the tenant.
Average Monthly Payment
Figures are reported to show that the average monthly payment is $14.50 per room, the actual payments being according to location, from $11.50 to $17.50 a room per month, not including the bath. The average payment for $14.50 is divided, $6.09 for principal and interest, and $6.01 as payment for rent taxes and other items of upkeep. In two years, the tenant will have liquidated the principal sum, but tenants are given the privilege of making larger monthly payments on the principal thus materially reducing the interest paid, as well as length of time in which the principal may be repaid. Or course the monthly upkeep continues on. Thousands of applicants were received declared Mr. Browne, and the $11 units making up the development will be $90 per cent sold by May 11, 1981. In the latter month, $125 were made in the from December 24, 1927 to December 1, 1928 it is shown that only tenant tax is four percent of the tenant owners were eliminated from the community who find it necessary, for any reason, to be absent from home at any time during the day, or who need to be relieved from care of her small children. There are twelve trips for infant in the middle who is designated with a
two dispossessed one dissatisfied
with the apartment; one by _mar-
riage, one by illness; two by death;
four as undesirable, four moved to
another city, and seven by financial
embarrassment
Health Provisions
One of the outstanding considerations of the management is in its provisions for the health of the little community. Not only have the apartments a maximum of light and air, stated the resident manager, but health literature from all available sources is put into the hands of responsible adults in each family, with special care for the expectant mother. There is also provided a perfectly equipped playground for the children and a day nursery for small tots from a few months to five years old, all of which is under expert supervision. The nursery is described with particular pride by Mr. Bruce, who emphasizes its value to the multifaceted frieze of Mother Goose characters. Other equipment includes an electric refrigerator for milk and orange juice a sterilizing equipment for cooking decorated enamel ware dishes, Lilliputian furniture, etc.
Referring to the wage-earning capacity of the tenant-owners, Mr. Bruce cited figures to show the average wage to be $148.46 per month, with one half of them earning from $122 to $177 per month, thus proving the current idea that the apartments are being occupied by tenants with large incomes.
The Placement Service.
Mr Bruce told of the placement service inaugurated September 29, 1928, by which tenants who are out of employment are given opportunity to get another job, without fees of any sort. From September 26 to December 1, 115 calls were received from employers, 94 of which were filled from family groups in the Dunbar community. Applicants listed numbered 142. The highest salaried job provided was for a chauffeur at $45 a week. Stenographers have had $25 as the maximum, which is the average for chauffeurs. Better paid jobs are seldom available, said the speaker.
With regard to the maintenance in best condition of the property, Mr Bruce cited a number of instances in which infractions of rules on part of one tenant has called forth an instant protest demonstration from other tenants. And he point out further that efficient management is guaranteed by provisions of the lease and subscription agreement which keep the hands of Mr Rockefeller in the hands of Mr Rockefeller for more than twenty years, since only the pretreated stock, retained by Mr, Rockefeller, has voting power.
In concluding, Mr. Bruce declared that the Rocketteller building project has gone far towards relieving rental conditions in Harlem. The tenancy has come from other apartment houses in the community, with a demand sufficient to fill five times as many apartments as are in the present plant. And he asserts that there has been an appreciable effect upon rent in conspicuity, since the ability of a tenant to buy in apartment at from $1150 to $1750 a room makes him unwilling to pay $20 to $25 a room as rent.
He asserts further that landlords and agents in the community are putting their properties in better condition, and that jailers are giving more attention to heating the buildings than to operating skills in the last month.
I usually said Mr. Bruce, "This is an adventure in community building. We are developing an exemplary community of color.
The Dunbar cooperators are paying for what they get. And they are getting what they pay for Mr. Rocketteller is not pampering Negro Harlem with his largess. But he is demonstrating that the most disadvantaged element in the American population can be comfortably, yes, beautifully housed and yet the capitalist have a perfectly sound investment.
The National Urban League, through its Department of Industrial Relations, reports that the month of December showed no unusual changes in employment save those that ordinarily come with Christmas. As far as Negro labor is concerned the usual ups and downs were reported with the margin being on the side of gains rather than losses.
A GREAT EDUCATIONAL AGENCY CHALLENGES NEGRO PRIDE!
The General Education Board has placed the stamp of its approval upon Talladega College as one of the best Negro Colleges in the land, and has given it ONE-HALF MILLION DOLLARS, conditioned that the College itself shall raise a like amount.
Here is the reason for the Gift:
"Talladega College proved to be a great surprise to me. I was not prepared to find an institution with buildings and equipment equal to those of many of our better known Northern institutons. * * * Talladega stands as one of the foremost of the Negro Colleges, with curricula, teaching, buildings, and equipment fairly comparable with those of the standard colleges for whites in all parts of the country."—CLARENCE LINTON, Secretary of Teachers College, Columbia University.
"From its beginning Talladega has been one of the most genuine colleges for colored youths in the South. The fine development, in more recent years, of its full college work deserves and should have most generous support."—J. H. Dillard, President of the Slater Fund and of the Jeanes Fund, Vice President of the Phelps Stokes Fund, Member of the General Education Board.
"My personal information in regard to Talladega College consists of that gained in the two-day visit which I paid to that institution a year ago on the occasion of the dedication of the new science building. I was much impressed by what I saw. The conference was of as high an order as any conference on science teaching that I have ever attended. * * * After I got back, I took occasion to study up somewhat on higher education for Negroes and found that Talladega stands among the best of the Negro institutions."—E. P. LYON, Dean Medical School, University of Minnesota.
"In my judgment Talladega ranks in the very highest group of Negro Colleges. The leaders in the College have had the right vision to plan a high-grade program and to secure a faculty that will carry out this program. In purpose, in methods, and in accomplishments, the College challenges the admiration of all those who know about it."—GEORGE B. WOCDS, Dean of American University, Investigator for United States Bureau of Education.
This Campaign to raise one-half million dollars to meet the General Education Board's Gift offers an unusual opportunity for a sound investment in Negro welfare.
Address: THE PRESIDENT, Talladega College, Talladega, Alabama.
With the return of favorable conditions in industry there appears to be a return to the use of Negroes in traditional occupations, which, for a time, it seemed they were gradually losing. This was noticeable, North and South, as for instance, in Des Moines where colored waiters have replaced white waitresses, and in Milwaukee, where the demands for domestic and personal service workers of a type above the average have been too numerous to be filled. Laborers with a corporation in Austin, Texas, have replaced Mexican and white workers.
Gaing for December
In Chicago a new department store gave opportunity to twelve bakers, and a furniture store employed two colored salesmen, a company in St. Paul employed its first colored stenographer: a male stenographer went to work in New York in a white concern, the first one to be so employed, 1,000 extras were hired in the moving picture industry in Los Angeles, in St. Louis a mechanic was placed in a position not usually held by Negroes at $65 per week; colored employees in the Detroit Ford Factory reached the total of 15,000 in San Antonio, Texas two detectives brought the total of colored employees to tour; and a mail order house in Colorado gave employment to women as marts.
Refused To Be Jim Crowed
A number of cities reported losses during the month. Among them were St. Louis, where one hotel replaced all of its Negro service help. Milwaukee, in which fifty of its lamp shade companies was ed. when they failed to obey signs assigning them separate washrooms and Chicago where fifty workers in
a food store were discharged when managers were changed, but were given letters of recommendation for efficient service.
In Jefferson City, white bellmen took over the jobs of colored bellmen and in Baltimore the installation of talking movies caused the discharge of an orchestra.
Public Interest Aroused.
In some half dozen cities committees interested themselves, demilitarized last month in employment opportunities for Negroes, and in Los Angeles there was increased interest in night classes for power machine operers, and a general interest in motion picture jobs. Negro women who received power machine training in a night school received employment soon after completing their work in a prominent dress shop.
In Pittsburgh and Canton industrial campaigns were held, which attracted wide interest in white and colored circles. In Denver the Interracial Committee decided to make a survey of occupational importance, and in Baltimore considerable interest was manifested in the attitude of the management on the newest and largest hotel to the effect that no Negro help would be employed. Here also, there seems to be a cutting of wages of older hotel workers by help from Southern points into the city.

COMMON STOCKS
As previously explained, it is only within the past few years that common stocks have become popular with the general public. It is fortunate that so many individuals look upon common stocks as a gambling medium instead of as investment, for it is a proven fact that with but very few exceptions the only people that share in the real property of these country as collected in the stocks of individual corporate ones are those that have the high-grade stocks, and look them away in their safe deposit boxes.

the corporation, rather than price an dividend. Whereas a preferred stock can never pay more than it stipulated maximum dividend or say, six or seven dollars, which must be paid before the common stock can pay anything, the latter is not restricted in any way except by the prosperity of the business and the policy of the directors whose power the declaring of the dividend lies.
Preferred Stocks (and bonds also) have in most cases a "callable price". This price is usually not ten or fifteen points (dollars) above par. The corporation has the power to redeem or "call in" the issue at this figure, after due notice has been given. Thus a preferred stock of 100 par may be callable at 10. If the directors decide to redeem or all of the issue the corporation must pay $110 for all share redeemed, regardless of the price paid by the stockholder whether it be $00 or 114. The call price tends to limit the advance of the stock to approximately this figure.
Common stocks never have a valuable feature. Thus, not being protected and restricted as to either dividend or price, that is no limit to the depreciation or appreciation that a common stock may experience. We shall leave a discussion of the many other factors influencing the price of a common stock to the ensuing article.

This report, issued by the president of Iowa R.

20,000,000 have been ex-
posed to those schools of which
$4,000,000 were contributed
by Negroes, about $1,000,000 by
white friends, over $12,000,000 from
the states of the states and coun-
tries, $3,333,000 by the fund.
The over contribution of the

Reorganization of Fund
to report comments as follows given the recent reorganization of the land.
The Rosenwald land is a memorial of Mr. Rosenwald's children which have been many years and have had gifts to schools hospitals, small offices and boys.
We are beginning on the year 2010. Land when heretofore it was a trust to the rural program was expanded and cared for officers were appointed to their full time to the area and a self-perpetuating board of eleven trustees was created Mr. Rosenwald made an additional gift during the year, which brings the
System Filled With Poison as a result of CONSTIPATION
Mr. R. J. Black, of Kelton, S. C., says:
"I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas pains, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison.
"One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years."

Limiting Fund Control.
In order to have the Fund most useful in this generation, and to avoid any possibility of the development of bureaucratic tendencies over a long period of years Mr Rosetwald has provided that capital as well as income may be spent at any time and that stipulated that the entire fund both principal and interest must be spent within twenty five years after his death. An additional safeguard against a perimictory attitude toward the work is the rule that no officer or trustee, other than the Founder, may serve beyond the edge of sixty-five years and that no one shall be a member of the Board of Trustees for more than six years continuously.
Truatees of the Fund
The Fund, according to the present report, is giving consideration to new activities, including aid to industrial high schools and colleges for Negroes and certain aspects of health.
The trustees of the Fund are Harry W Chase, president University of North Carolina, Edwin R Embree, president of the Fund Mrs David M Laye, New York City, Franklin C McLane, University of Chicago, Julius Rosenwald Lessing J Rosenwald, Philadelphia Beardside, Ruml, New York, Alfred K.

Rosenwald Fund Gives Bennett College $1,500
Greensboro, N.C.—Word has just been received from the Julius Rosenwald Fund trustees at Chicago that $1,500 has been appropriated for the purchase of books for the library of Bennett College for Women. This gift is conditioned upon the college raising and expending an additional $3,000 on its library. This will make a total of $4,500 which will be expended on the library of the local college just as soon as the conditional amount is raised. This is the third of the large funds to express interest in the local college to Negro women since the beginning of the new administration. The Phelps Stokes fund on New York city and the Nater Fund of which Dr James H. Dillard is the president having, in former occasions expressed their interest and approval in tangible contributions to the work of the local college

The Negro ward of the North Carolina Orthopedic College at Georgia received $25,000 instead of $15,000, and another bequest of $5,000 was to the Metropolitan Protestant children's home at High Point. The correct list of Bequests is as follows.

Through the interest of Prof Charles H. Moor of the city, who called on Mr. Dusk in New York City about three years ago, a gift of $2500 was obtained for the Rushardson Memorial Hospital in this city, one of the finest institutions in the Carolinas, valued now at $150,000. Proi Moore is president of the Hospital Association.
Through these requests, Mr Duke takes rank as the only southern white man who is made sure large gifts to Negro institutions.

Kinston, N. C—Charles Dunn born a slave, came here shortly after the civil war, acquired a mastering of reading and writing, cumulated a fortune and died January 19, a wealthy banker, realtor, hotel man and unlicensed lawyer. Dunn was probably this town's wealthiest Negro. He was born somewhere in the section, relatives do not know where. He was 79 of 80 years of age, members of his family said
When he ambled into Kinston in the 60s. He could not write his own name. He was taught all that he ever learned by the late George F. Parrott a prominent white man. Dunn had the instinct to save. He acquired many houses and lots. He built a hotel. He organized a bank, which prospered. He was often in the courts as a result of his many business deals, and he argued his own cases many times. He had a "lawyer's mind," members of the bar said and with sufficient education would have been a brilliant attorney. Unlike most members of his race, Dunn was not religiously emotional. He disliked ceremony. He belonged to no church or maternal order, though he frequently attended services in the race churches of the city.
THE NEW YORK AGE Saturday, January 30, 1929
THE EQUIVIRATE LEADERSHIP. The evolution of harmon) and leadership for the Republican party in New York State presents a problem difficult of solution. With a record of steady losses in the two preceding gubernatorial campaigns, the prestige of victory for the presidential ticket was again marred by the loss of the governorship. Mr. Hoover was not the choice of the majority of the Republican leaders for the presidential nomination, and it was only after his choice became inevitable, that they dropped their futile efforts to force a renomination upon Mr. Coolidge. The minority who were for Hoover were snubbed and browbeaten in their efforts to bring the New York delegation in line.
After the decisive Republican victory came the question of who is to be recognized as the intermediary in the matter of distributing the Federal patronage in this state. As both the Senators are Democrats, custom would give the doubling voice to the New York member of the National Committee, Mr. Charles D. Hilles, a political veteran of the old school. But Representative Hill was the original Hoover man in New York State, and it was expected that he would be recognized as being closer to the President than those who opposed Hoover's nomination. The difficulty was supposed to be settled last week by the manning of a triumvirate leadership, that old device to bridge a division of forces consisting of Mr. Hilles, Mr. Hill and the State Chairman H. Loomind Machid
The effect of this was expected, to give the State Chairman the deciding vote to back up Mr. Hill in any differing opinion as to the allotment of the offices. But it would appear that Mr. Willey was not yet ready to relinquish or even divide the power he has so long exercised as National Committeeman in which he was supported by Congressman Berk and Snell, representing the Republican members of the lower House. This leaves the effort at harmony strraining for effect with the prospect that the Old Guard, as represented by Mr. Willey, may die but will not surrender.
The quality of leadership among New York Republicans has not been conspicuous in late years for courage or sagacity. Those who possessed courage, like former Senator Wadsworth lacked moral support and met defeat at the polls sooner than swallow their convictions. Ogden Mills, also a Hoover supporter after his unsuccessful campaign against Governor Smith, became Under Secretary of the Treasury, from which post he may be expected to exercise a decisive influence in political matters. The local leadership in New York and Kings counties has done little to help the party and its record has been one of increasing losses of votes and prestige
The part played by National Committeeman Hilles under these discouraging conditions has been one of discretion, which perhaps erred on the side of safety. Continually fighting losing battles, except in presidential campaigns, and even then losing the governorship and United States Senators, is not calculated to encourage the spirit of venturing upon unknown political seas. It is clear, however, that the Republican party needs a more progressive spirit among its leaders, both in the state at large and in the counties that go to make up New York City. It needs the spirit of tolerance and liberal treatment of all the groups of workers that make up its adherents. It needs to drop the kid glove, or high hat, attitude that drives away voters instead of inviting them to join its ranks. It needs to recognize the claim of all voters to equal recognition regardless of race, creed or color.
When the Republican part in New York State or any other state to make this level it will not need to revive the ancient device of a trumanate to parcel land. Federal patronage A leadership based upon equality of citizenship will evolve its own leadership
SAFETY IN BANKING
Referring to a statement made by Mrs Alice Dunbar Nelson
the Dunbar National Bank, in the Washington Eagle, the editor of the Philadelphia Christian Recorder, who has some connection with banking himself, said that "it is not necessary to cast reflections upon Negro bankers." This nobody will deny. His reason for this pronouncement appeared to be the following statement by Mrs. Nelson
One member of our race, who has seen for more than a dozen years president of a substantial Negro bank in one of our Southern states, with a capital of more than $200,000, offered to resign his post and its emoluments in order to come into the Dunbar National and learn banking from the ground up."
Editor R R Wright, Jr. of the Recorder resented this imputation upon the ability and self-confidence of the Negro banker with more or less warmth, saying.
Editor R R Wright, Jr. of the Recorder resented this imputation upon the ability and self-confidence of the Negro banker with more or less warmth, saying
She is evidently misled, for that is not true. There is no Negro bank in the South that has a capital or $200,000 in the first place, and all the Negro presidents of twelve years (experience are personally known to the editor) and we can say confidently that the above paragraph does not represent fact and is misleading and a reflection upon our best bankers. While it would be a good thing to get all of the help we can, set the Negro will never learn until he teaches himself
And be it remembered that the Negro is as safe in his own hands as he is in the hands of his friend, even in the intricate business of banking. If Mrs Dunbar Nelson will study history, she will see the Negro has lost more money in banks dealing with his friends than he has in banks of his own. While we put a great deal of stress upon the failure of certain colored banks, it is still a historical fact that the Negro never lost in the failure of any bank conducted by Negroes as much money as was lost in the failure of the Friedmens' Saving Bank, which was conducted for Negroes. While we have every confidence in the world in the New York venture, yet we do not believe under present banking laws it will be any safer for Negroes than any bank which is conducted under the laws of the State of New York or the State of Pennsylvania or the State of Massachusetts. As we have questioned about his dealings with a Negro bank "The chances of failure of a Negro bank are less in many respects, than that of a white bank because the authorities are not going to let Negroes have as much rein as the whites. On this theory this Jew justified dealing with a Negro bank on the basis of safety, other things being equal.
Enthusiastic writers must not discourage our people from their own in their endeavors to make our friends feel good. It will be many a year before the interracial bank will supercede the racial bank. The inter-racial church has not taken the place of the racial church, nor the interracial featernity taken the place of the racial fraternity, nor will the inter-racial bank.
Thirty years ago another philanthropist—Theodore Starr, of Philadelphia—started an interracial savings institution. It has thousands of Negro desiors today, but now thinks of it as an interracial bank, for the interracial institution. We hope Gockelsteller's experiment will have better results for training the race in banking from one ground up than Mr. Starr's experiment find. Meanwhile the surreal way to success is for us ourselves—in banking as in other things.
We have quoted thus extensively from the Recorder. Because there has been not little criticism of this sort concerning the Jurisdictional institution Editor Wright was based his criticism on legitimate grounds and on a mannish which entitles it to respectful consideration.
Probably, the surest way to success as to acquire experience which in all cases means that somebody must pay for it is the cost of experience in the banking game comes high, and the lack of it must be taken into account in every step taken now into ambitious promoters. The Dunbar National Bank, apart from the regular banking service which it proposes to tender to the two thousand or more tenants of the Dunbar Apartments, will provide practical training for the corps of colored employees. Banking is a highly technical pursuit which of late years has offered but little opportunity for entrance to members of the race. The organization of the Dunbar Bank has presented this opening for technical training, which may lead further. It is an opening which should be taken advantage of. Should further opportunities present themselves to acquire stock in the enterprise they should be improved in the same way. In time under this sort of arrangement it may be made an interracial or a wholly racial institution.

NEEDLESS EMBARRASSMENT

It seems that in the past, the life of a member of Congress was by that act made eligible for Club membership the organization having been incorporated in May 1908.

A special despatch to the New York World, from its Washington Bureau, told of an embarrassing problem that the Congressional Club of women is called upon to face. It seems that in the past, the wife of a member of Congress was by that fact made eligible for Club membership the organization having been incorporated in May 1908. The president of the organization is the wife of a Rhode Island Senator and the vice presidents are all wives of Congressmen from different parts of the country. The question that is giving so much concern to the members of this exclusive society was brought up by the election of Oscar De Priest as a member of Congress from Chicago, to fill the seat formerly held by Representative Madde.
As is well known all over this broad land, Mr. De Priest who was formerly an Alderman in Chicago, is a member of the Negro race. His wife and the other women of his family are considered as automatically eligible for membership in this Congressional Club. Much perturbation and confusion among its membership
lost that privilege should be claimed and exercised. So, to prevent such a shock to the susceptibilities of its members, it is stated that the wife of a Republican Congressman from Indiana has offered an amendment to meet the contingency. It provides that the applicant for membership must have the endorsement of one or more active members of the club from the State where the applicant resides, and the application must be approved by the executive committee. It this report is unfavorable, the applicant shall be denied membership.
The despatch concluded with the statement that it is generally understood that the purpose of this amendment is to bar "somebody" not desired. Officers of the club won't discuss it. We should think not. There is a certain appropriateness in the fact that the excluding amendment should be offered by the wife of a Congressman from the Islam-ruled state of Indiana.
The only consolation that we see in this distressing situation is to assure the members of the Congressional Club that the embarrassment is all theirs as it naturally should be. Perhaps some ancient Washingtonian might enlighten them by telling how a somewhat similar situation was met in the seventies, when the late B. K Bruce was a Senator from Mississippi with a distinguished helpmeet worthy to share his position and meet the social demands incumbent upon him.
UNIQUE HOUSING EXPERIMENT.
UNIQUE HOUSING EXPERIMENT. The housing experiment undertaken in the erection of the new Monarch buildings in the heart of Harlem is unique in several aspects. The buildings consisting of a six-story club house, flanked on either side by a modern apartment house of the same height, will occupy a block front on West 138th street. Each of the apartment houses will contain fifty-eight apartments, one house having been completed and nearly all the apartments rented. It is expected that the income from rents will be available for interest payments and eventually provide sufficient for amortization of the bonds and mortgages.
The methods used to finance this enterprise include the issue of a second mortgage bond issue, to be disposed of to both large and small investors. These bonds are of all denominations and bear six per cent interest for the term of ten years. Their payment is secured by a trust mortgage for the benefit of the bondholders. The buildings are located on a most valuable site in Harlem and the estimated rentals of the two apartments are calculated to be sufficient to meet all charges with a substantial profit. The bonds can also be purchased and used for in weekly payments.
The organization that is formed thus ambitious enterprise to add to the housing accommodation or Harlem is known as the Monarch Lodge Apartments, Inc. of which Casper Holstem is president. Combined with the housing proposition is the plan for a lodge building for Monarch Lodge of Elks, which is expected to rank with the finest of its kind in any part of the country. As a social and athletic center it promises to surpass any structure so far erected for the use of the race. In addition to a spacious lobby, there will be an auditorium with a seating capacity of nearly two thousand gamnasum, grill room, ballroom, executive and clerical offices for the lodges. There will also be a root garden for summer nights.
The estimated cost of the building project as a whole is eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars. This is a considerable sum of money to invest in a housing experiment of this magnitude but the first steps have been accomplished by the erection and rental of the first apartment building. The successful carrying out of such a comprehensive plan indicate a tour card movement by the trainee order in providing proper home for our people in Harlem. It is only through the exercise of skillful planning and stamina support that their plans can be carried to a successful conclusion.
CRAPS ON THE STAG!
What are we to think when a theoretical reviewer in criticizing one of the latest attempts to depot Negro character behind the footlights lament the absence of a good game of craps to enlist the otherwise dull proceedings? Time was when the mention of a game of craps aroused the suggestion of an aggregation of colored players, either a group of roustabouts on a river bank or a boulder of dark figures between decks on a crowded steamer. But of late years the throwers of the dice and the invokers of Lady Luck have been of all colors and grades of society.
It was the editor of a Negro weekly in Kentucky who celebrated the taking over by white gamesters of the game of craps sometime known as "galloping ducks" or "African golf." He
stanced the all-absorbing propensities of the white race in dispossessing the blacks of their cherished possessions and recorded the passing of the game of craps as the last pastime of the race to become the sport of the whites. This was perhaps some twenty years ago. Since then craps has become the favorite game of chance among all classes of whites, from the highest to the lowest. They have even imitated the patter of the colored players in addressing the dice before making a throw
Of course it cannot be claimed that the African race had any exclusive claim to gambling with the dice. Shakespeare, in his plays, refers to a gamester from the dice, false dice, low rated English play at dice and other phrases showing that gam-

(NOTE BY EDITOR—Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield of the M. E Church North a former president of Howard University, Washington, has been granted release from Episcopal duties by his Church, and is, with Mrs. Thirkield, enjoying a well-earned vacation in Europe. Under date of January 2, he writes the editor of The New York Age from the San Domingo Palace a monastery hotel, at Taormina, Italy, enclosing the interesting article printed below, telling of the elimination of the picture of a Negro slave from the famous scriptural painting, "Christus Consolator," by Ars Scheffer, by order of officials of the Protestant Episcopal Church, before a production of that picture was used as a frontpiece for the Book of Common Prayer or that Church. Bishop Thirkield writes that on their return he and Mrs. Thirkield will spend their winters in New York City going to their old home at Marshfield, Mass, for the summers. Their European address is care Trust, Trust Court, Plano Vendone, France.
Wendell Phillips, in his address on "The Scholar in the Republic" refers in pungent terms to the fact that in the surrender to proslavery ideas, "bishops expurgated the pictures of their Common Prayer Books." And in one of his political essays, James Russell Lowell rebukes a certain religious society, which, in defending to the abjectly of South exclude the black Man from the operations of God's Providence and do thereby as great wrong to the Creator as the Episcopal Church did to the artist, when, without public protest, they allowed Ary Scheffler's "Christus Consolator," with the figure of the slave left out, to be put in their Prayer Books."
When one gets at the facts lying back of these striking references to a famous picture, a rather startling list of history is disclosed. It is an illustration of the attitude of the Episcopal Church with the exorcism supposed by the conservation of most other churches before the war, with reference to the Black Man in chains.
Many are famous in the *Christmas Consolator* of *Arry Schieffer*—one of the most suggestive and beautiful religious pictures that was ever painted. This famous painting tells its own story. Jesus is surrounded by those who came kneeling about Him for his comfort and healing. At His feet a woman kneels pleading for the restoration of her infant child. Near the Master, crowded with a wretched of myrtle, indicating poetical or other distinction, sits a man of thought and rejuvenation. The fact that his back is turned toward the Master may indicate that, while he is willing to hear, he does not耐受 to his teachings. In despair spirit, kneeling, with face turned toward Master, are well able to comfort the spirit of hope as a victim of hate in the darkness. He has to have copied to him to Him. Who spake as never pain spake.
At the left, an old man, with our stretched hands stands appealing to Jesus, that his petition may be heard and answered in the foreground he a young man in delirium naked who has been bound with chains. At the touch of Jesus the chains fall from his wrists and he is about to

bling by means of the cubes was not uncommon in those days Plutarch makes dice throwing an early invention of the Egyptians, and dice have been discovered in Thebes, similar to those in present use. The Greeks and Romans also tempted Fortune by casting dice, using three dice instead of two. It was introduced into France in the reign of Philip Augustus and has continued a favorite game until this day.
How the variety of the game known as "craps," or "shooting craps," became associated with the Negroes in this country is not so well-known but that association has now to be shared with the bulk of the white population. The stage will have to get along without craps as a destructive feature or plays of Negro life.

Such was the beauty and time of the lecture at the publishers of an edition of the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer were attracted to it as a suitable frontispiece. But there was this fatal objection. The Negro was there with his mani-wristis and his appealing face, yearning for freedom. This could find him with the slave-bolding Episcopalian in the south. Hence direction was given to the engraver to CUT OUT THE FIGURE OF THE NEGRO. The picture in this mutilated form, was thus published as the front spice for this edition of the Book of Common Prayer, and the same was certified to as correct by the then Bishop of New York. Small wonder that this act of surrender to the sentiment of both South and North against the agitation of its question of human slave-race of such advocates of humanity as Wendell Phillips and James Russell Lowell.
The work of the Church, through its missionary and educational enterprises, would enthrone Jesus amidst the lowly and needy of every race in our land. In this day when the spirit castle and proscription against the Black Man seems on the increase in certain centers of our Nation, this incident of a mutated picture with the Negro left out should come with one all force to those who, from our past, would cast out our man because he is black or of a race or religion different from his own. Let the Church feel deeply the burden of her great mission in the redemption of peoples of all races and the molding of a Nation's history that alone can be chewed through from taste and uncompromising loyalty to the light. We must this solve the problem of the race, instead of by compromise and prejudice, and fasten it upon the Nation for all time.
Let us not bring down our stand and to any people, who through inheritance may be bearing the burden of the taste-spirit. Rather let them up to our standard of Christ's name and for His sake.

The St. Luke Herald notes an encouraging sign of Negro solidarity in Richardson in the fact that the race is drawing closer together for protection and security. It added
Three outstanding examples of this being evident is exhibited in the liberality of Richmond. Negroes in contributing to a law to prosecute a brutal white police officer who, without provocation, invaded the home of a defenseless Negro and lived in a cold blood; another is the united effort to get the criminal justice system to law and the organized effort to circumvent the passage of the Wesley Segregation Ordinance. A large mass of the citizens have looked askance at the ministry of Richmond, in that it had not previously lined up with organized forces of the mass of citizens to fight their battles. In the fight that is now in process, the ministry has taken a conspicuous position, have placed and has installed its office among those of the mass of citizens to fight a common light where the security and constitutional rights of Negro citizens are threatened. We express to them our commendation.
This is another point that the race is learning how to apply the rule saying that in union there is strength.
Reserving to the death of Herman Perry, organizer of the Standard Life Insurance Company and other enterprises, the Pittsburgh Council.
From on course he became one of the best known men in the South and one of the richest Negroes in the country. He had vision and executive ability, both exceedingly rare at race. His attempt to establish a chain of laundries and dry cleaning plants, owned and operated by Negroes throughout the country was sound. No less severe was the project of building better homes for Negroes in Atlanta and enabling more Negroes to own homes. He also established the Citizens Trust Company which will be in the hands of Negroes.
He made men with wit and vision Human Perry went too far in 1925 came the crash The Service Company went under and after that the Standard Life Insurance Company passed into the hands of white people Perry was run out induced him to move to Mumbai and started again. He had many severe crises and doubles there with much trust for愈深 in his business methods. All the man was on the right track. The race will progress a whole lot faster when he decides more men with his energy and vision who are not afraid to venture into unfriendly fields. With a little more link Henk man with his energy and vision he wooed the fieldie goddess once often and failed. Happily there are carrying on and Negro big business in 1929 justifies the confidence Perry had its future.
Lack of balance and the proper perspective seem to be the main reasons for the failure of many too ambitious business geniuses. Energy and vision need to be guided by prudence and sound judgment.

As it was, he was out of the fight promotion for four years. And again when he returned his stellar attraction was a colored man. He fight the game and selfless. The purse was for $100,000.

Even the Federal Civil Service Commission got the spirit and appointed over 60 clerks and carriers to the various post officers to serve the city and Brooklyn offices. Last nation for late carrier in New York and Brooklyn Post Office held each and every third Saturday of each month. Entrance salary $1700. No examination for clerk is scheduled. The year 1920 brings to you your great chance to get into the Civil Service. All existing lists are being cleared up to make room for the many new ones. Remember this is our column specially prepared and edited for you. Take advantage of the announced
ring. Ugly rumors were rampant: Bettling was world-wide two to one on Jeffries. And the deadlock was broken when Tex, who had the tainth out, both men, was chosen to be the third man in the ring. It is history, that he officiated with justice and efficiency. That he was game to count Jeff out in the face of a lustful crowd that threatened violence is a enduring monument to his memory.
This writer denies that Rickard kept Wills out of a fight with Dempsey, but charges that retaliation against Dempsey and white people got really.
A recent sanitary regulation move [e] the editor of the Cincinnati. I am to the following lamentation.
Our Board of Health, aroused by the prevalence of influenza, has issued stringent orders for the cessation of losing. Those in this territory who now indulge, can consider themselves oscillatory bootleggers. This time honored amatory or amenable salutation is now reprehensible in more ways than one. "Flu" is not the only disorder that finds its way into the system through and pleasurable channel of the human senses. Its sexual labial peculiarity has been thrown into the disarray of compeisseurs because of the point that deadens, deforms, disfigures the delicate membranous cushion that once held nerves so sensitive that the touch of mustache covered lips sent thrills even down to the nails of cute little toes. Of the fact that whenever the gratification of one desire is prohibited another arises to take its place, we respectfully suggest that our Board of Health should longly advise the adoption of the mask in keeping it hands off. A present free from pain and extravagant sediment. The ladies may object on the ground that they have some need for their own culinary desires. We see no solution for them.
The Cincinnati editor expressed the hope that the reign of influenza would be brief, as well as his readiness to take a chance on the influenza preference to the pamp
Discussing the relations of the Negro worker and Socialism in the Boston Chronicle Frank R Crosswalt and
Negro workers today do not have to wait until liberals can persuade the unions to accept them as members. Intelligent Negro workers who are denied admission into a union should get together and form their own organization. With the number of Negro workers now entering industry steadily on the increase, this is not a very hard thing to do. This writer is heartily in favor of a Union Negro Trade-Council composed of Negro trade unionists, working in the various industries of the armed forces and of weapon to be used against the new remaining unions which still deny to the Negro entrance be cause of color.
It shall also function in the ad- inging of all cases where a Negro union man or non-union man for that matter, is the victim of a white union's tyranny. The Council is to conduct also a campaign of education among the unorganized workers of the race. Jewish workers who in the world of work suffered much at the hands of prejudice, finally found in the methods above referred to the one effective way to help with the problem. Today the Jewish trade unions are among the most powerful and progressive. In all of them Negro workers are ad-mitted on equal terms with their Jewish fellow tradesmen.
That is a suggestion which sounds practical and capable of leading to constructive results, if properly handled.
Under the heading of "Marie Magrec," the Baltimore Afro-American referred to the call for the sixth annual international convention convention of the Negro Peoples of the world, to be held at Kingston, Jamaica next August it said.
Mr Garvey was sent to prison on June 11, 1923, on the eve of his annual convention of that year. In 1926 a convention was called which ousted Mr Garvey and elected new officers.
Without the presence of Mr Garvey himself, his organization crumbled. Inside prison walls, he struggled to build it up. Fired last year, he planned a convention in Canada, which not only murdered, but deported him when he landed there several weeks ago.
This week, Mr. Garvey bucked Jamaica, calls the convention at his home town.

NEW OPERA COMES FROM EUROPE WITH
LEADING CHARACTER PORTRAYINGNEGRO
TAT-BAND LEADER PLAYED BY: CERMAN
American muusical circles are beimg stirred center tu circumference
ty the bringing to thls country of an opera, written by a yotmg Vienna,
‘Amitria, composer, Ernst Krenek, 8 years of age, in which the priner-
al character, 18 4 Negro yaxr viobn player from America, and which,
Be this is read, will have had its premiere ‘performance ut the Metro-
folitan Opera Houre, New York City, Giallo Gattl-Casazra, general
Manager, the Holy of Holies for grand opera a América
Thie opera, sung for the test time at the Liepzig Operthaus on}
Hebmiars 1, 1927, was given wath a Negro playing the part of “Jonny,”
the opera being “Jonny Sprelt Aut” ("Johnny strikes up the band") Dut
no such innovation will be mdulged mm for the New York presentation,
Michael Bohnen, basso-baritone of the Metropolitan organization, who
jus song "Wotan," “Handing” and “Hagen,” has heen selected to sing
the Jonny part, and for this occasion he will simulate the art of corking.
ap his face, ala Eddie Cantor.
This presentation, stirring the keenest curosity, has aroused com-
ment of all sorts, that of amused wonder om part of reviewers for white
Journals, and of indignant protest from Negro musicians and music
fovers. The manner of comment indulged im by some of the white writ-
er ras been construed and desiguated as contemptuous condescension
by some of the protestants, and indignation has been freely expressed
This reviewer has tried to view the whole matter with a calm atti-,
tude of detachment, to await such development as would enable him to
form a stne and sensible opinion of just what this production will mean
so far as the Negro singer and actor is concerned. And even at this
“lute day, on the eve of its New York hearing, 1 can see nut one thing
about which to get exelted.
Gatti-Cassaza, according to last Sunday's World, has deemed it in-
sdvisable to engage 2 Negro singer for the title role, and who is to say
Wm nay? According to one of the advance statements anent this cere
Ris a satire, and Is St not in keeping with that general satiric atmos:
phere that Bohnen, a German, should be called on to interpret the role
of an Ameriian Negro in New York, while a real Negro interpreted
she role in Germany?
One reason for this action is given as “prejudices of the boxhold-
are” and this may or may not be a logical reason. On the other hand
will some well-informed perton advise me as what particular Negro
singer might be available for this role?
‘As to the opera Itself, a general description of it :s that it endeavors
to “interpret the rhythms and atmouphere of modern fife In this age
of technical science.” Krenek, a pupil of Frane Schrecker, fas some
fifty-five compositions to his credit already, and has become what is
termed a “modern audacious ‘constructeur’ to whom hymns are sung
by devoted disciples and from whom the public flees with all signs of
terror” But following its premier in Lieptig, “Jonny Spielt Au" has
heen given in Berlin and Munich, and other places, some two hundred
times, and “the first modern opera of the world has captured the audi-
race m ane victorious sweep.”
The musical structure of this opera brings into play radio loud
speakers, railroad trains, automobiles, films and revues, in alternation,
the score ranging from serious opera to modern musical comedy The
toek of the play discloses the plot about as follows.
Max” a dreamy, idealistic composer, is apostorphieing the cinlly
rlamor of a glacier, and to the scene comes “Anita,” an opera singer.

Tovers Scene IT, in “Anita's” rooms, shows her about to leave for Paris
we crete the title role in an opera‘ writen by “Max” but he begs her to
“say with him. Hig pleadings are in vain, and in Scene III in a cor-
uidor +t the hotel where “Anita” is staying, “Jonny,” the jazz-band
woalinis, is discovered telling “Yvonne.” a chambér maid, who is in love
wei the Negro musician, that he must get hold of the famous Stradl-
anus violin owned by “Danrello.” a concert virtuose
“Daniello” goes out, but locks his door, as “Jonny” noted, and then
‘Anta came im and sat down to write a letter, when “Jonny” approached
her and proposed a non-platonic love Notwithstanding that she felt an
surge of the blood,” “Anita” permits “Daniello” to buy eff “Jonny”
wih a thousand-frane note, And then “Daniello” urges his own pro-
nosals upon “Anita,” who feels that site “cannot resist And as they
sojer her room, “Tonny” gets into “Daniello's” ranm and <teale the prec-

These are to twenty days, depending on degreeerved on offenders, but the enforced is the same thing in money to them. The man was discarded by the Company in place came the "book suspension" mode only with conductors and porters, antagonistic to those who are caught in the cold way. Under the present system, by service rectitude for a given pen will atone for a five-day book suspended so on. Rather than actual punishment, then improvement over the old system. On him is memory and records have a hard memory may not bring to life.

Annotations may be the accused porter out to be his saviour.

The system of penalizing the employee's record by demitit marks for infractions of discipline, which system Police-Commissioner Whalen hopes to introduce among the members of the Police Department in this city in lieu of the present one, has long been the method employed by the Pullman Company in punishing recalcitrant conductors and porters. Before the introduction of the present system, conductors and porters found guilty of serious breaches of rules were usually laid off, or as the boy used to term it, "put in the street." These penalties generally ran from five to twenty days, depending on degree of the infraction. Nooses were levied on offenders, but the enforced idleness amounted practically to the same thing in money to them. The old system was discarded by the Company more than twenty years ago. In its place came the "book suspension" method. This system, which is used only with conductors and porters, is in one respect more advantageous to those who are caught in the net of transgressions than the old way. Under the present system, the employee may not for his error by service rectitude for a given period. Six months clean service will atone for a five-day book suspension; one year ten days, and so on
In theoretic, rather than actual punishment, the book suspension system is quite an improvement over the old system. On the other hand, the present system is a record, and records have a hard way of recalling things which memory may not bring to life. However, it isn't the demotiv system that the porter needs so much to fear as it is his service card. The card is his employment bond, and only on that may he trade.
The piece of cardboard that carries this record is not much larger than an ordinary postal card, but it contains 'the employee's history from the date on which he entered the service to whatever time later it is viewed no matter if the interval is fifty years.
No crasures are made on this card. When one is filled with notations, another is attached as a continuation. Usually these continuations are omnious signs against the owners. It often means that their service cards will not stand rigid auditing. Credit marks utilize little space, but notations for derelictions and infractions soon fill one of them to the capacity point.
And it frequently happens that these notations are the bats that know the porter out of his job. This is obvious enough to anyone who knows what these cryptic annotations mean, but one has to be experienced in interpreting them to know this.
Again, these annotations may be the accused porter's Nemesis, or they may turn out to be his saviour. It always follows that whenever a porter has to go before his district head to answer some serious charge, the first thing that official usually does is to call for that porter's service and, in many cases, it depends largely on what his card denotes that porter's statement of defense is given any credence.
An important service official in the Pullman management once told a gathering of porters to whom he was lecturing that he had only one way of knowing the porter and that was by the porter's service record. He also stated that he never got any satisfaction out of firing one, or that he could never tell when he was discharging a man who could afford to lose his job. But, he added, I can only go by the man's record when some serious charge is made against him.
Many porters do not give this phase of their employment any or, at best, but scant attention until they are charged with some heavy misdemeanor. Then they awake to the fact that a porter's service card is his service bond. The porter who forfeits his bond is usually the porter who is heard declaring, "I never got a fair break."
And perhaps he didn't; but that was because those demerit marks he carried were wiped out in theory, but not in actuality.

In your issue of January 12 there appeared in your column an article entitled "An Item for Consideration." A careful perusal of the subject shows the tendency of the present day employer to lay more stress and importance upon the value of employing young men as a business asset. We raise no objection to an individual's, or a corporation, right to the selection of its help, but even so, there always will be avenues open for the man worthwhile at almost any age.
In the dawn of the new era, the hustling young man won't allow himself to be handicapped by age when he can engage in something by its own initiative. Besides, this movement of the chain organizations, operating from coast to coast, in putting their new idea into effect, may be a blessing in disguise. In the lives of most of our successful men, we find their opportunities were few, and the road to progress was filled with obstacles of every description, but they reached the goal of their ambition. As a matter of fact, the more we are thrown on our own resources the more alert we become.
We have just laid to rest Porter W. E. Bowen of Pleasant Street, Cambridge, who was buried January 9. He is survived by the widow, born in 23 years of age. He was 52 years old when he died, with many height prospects before him. He was a model husband and a fond patron, a member of Pocahontas Lodge of Elks, and universally loved. After a period of ten years, Porter Bowen moved into his own home. He attentions remodelled and modernized his domicile. He enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who knew him. There was a splendid testimony of esteem shown him by the large attendance at the initial Officers of the Pullmah Co from North Station were present for floral offerings were profuse. Such a type of manhood in any walk to life is a credit to any race, or any community. His loving wife ably assisted him in rounding out such a successful career.
Porter J. B. Hughes of Boston, who, last November, tell and recite, left knee cap, was operated on at the Providence Hospital, Chicago. The accident happened at the Y. 38th street and Wahashown in Chicago. He reached home January 3, and is now improving very smartly. Mr. Hughes was mentioned sometime ago as being the man of porters in Boston. He runs on the 20th Century from Boston to Chicago. Here again is the man who has made his mark having a vision of the future. To ride over the rough seas of life and still land your cargo is something to be proud of.

Attractive New Costumes for Daytime Wear The New York Age 15c. Practical Pattern
The most fashionable models at this season are extremely simple; some may have an intricate appearance, but these are merely subtly built. This is no doubt due to the fabric most in use, neckline silk, which has small conventional patterns like those shown in tux for men. Merry little frocks are created from this fabric that are suitable for general informal daytime service, to be worn under a fur or cloth top coat. Design 1624 is fashioned of such material and as you see, the results are charming.
Crepe dhine in a variety colors is quite popular for daytime in simple trocks that rely solely on the gaiety of the fabric for trimming. Two other fabrics of our standing importance are tullas, fatas which will, or course, right into the summer, and in m. The latter may be lumbered, as thus rendering it serviceable as well as extremely smart. One can not stress too much the importance of woolens, especially the tweeds and jerseys. These fabrics have been woven in the most adorable designs and the most exquisite dorses, indeed, it will be depicted the past week that will be among the woolens' spring wear. Design 109 gives an excellent idea of how smartly a tweed will fashion into a plant straight straight stock of woolen ch
For the more formal lunchroom bridge, satins and heavy crepe have supplanted velvets, although one sees a great many transparent velvets today. If you have not one velvet frock in your wardrobe, you have missed the joy of one of the softest, most graceful and illusion of fabrics, and it isn't too late. Design 1637 is simply exquisite fashioned of black velvet and trimmed with dainty lace collar and cuffs. Colors that are most in favor now are green, red, maroon, brown blue and black. Trucks that are wending their way southward show a great preference for yellow and for combinations of yellow and black, charcoalous, green and black. If the woolens, red, white and black are cleverly worn together for delightful effect. This combination would be lovely for Design 1619, adding a red leather belt and a pert red ribbon belt and black and white, several shades of brown and blue and grey are lovely blended together.
The soft wollens are delightful for the youngster who goes to school, practical smart and warm. Design 1668 has been developed in jersey and any smart miss from eight to fourteen will adore the model. For the timest member of the family, we are showing today a dainty party frock (Could anything be more cunning than this?

In memory of Mrs. Elouisa Mosley Drew, who departed this life one year ago, January 24, 1928. Thy life was an inspiration of light to us who are left behind and when the shadows of night fall across our pathway we shall meet you on the other side, in a city not made with hands but an eternal in the Heavens with God, Sleep and rest, Husband and Soul, JAMES L. and JULIAN T. DREW
IN MEMORIAM
William Barker, who departed this life January 23, 1917. Asleep in Jesus far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But there is still a blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep. OCTAVIA BARKER KING, sister.
IN MEMORY OF WM H DeKALR
Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead but fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving and cheering words while their ears can hear and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them. The kind things you will say after they are gone, say before they go. The flower, you mean to send for their collins, beste now, and so brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them.
If my friends have clabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them now in my weary and troubled hours and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered, while I need them and can enjoy them. I would rather have a plain coffin without a flower, and a blank eulogy, than a life without the sweetines of love and sympathy. Let us learn to amount our friends beforehand for their burial.
Post-mortem kindness cannot cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on the coffin shed no fragrance backward over the weary way by which the loved ones have traveled.
Loving Wife,
Mrs. ANNIE DEKAL B
