MERGE Harlem Harlem Loan Shark Supreme Court J Says They Sap Agrees To Pay $1,750 And Then Seeks Relief But Justice Regrets The manner in which are taking advantage of who are trying to buy his interest agreements, charms and bonuses for the was scored in the Supreme New York by Judge Rich It was brought out in the trial of a case seeking to foreclose a mortgage that the defendant, a woman, had entered into an agreement with the broker to pay him $500 for a $4,000 loan, together with a bonus of $1,250, a total obligation of $5.750. Race Must Help Selves. In an opinion refusing to allow the woman relief from the agreement, Justice Lydon declared that while these loans are improper it is up to the colored people of Harlem to remedy the evil themselves. Otherwise, he declared, colored people in Harlem would lose all their property, "and," said he, "they are losing it fast now from my knowledge of the cases that have come before me. Justice Lydon expressed regret that the woman made such an imprudent arrangement, and scored the plaintiff, a colored man, as "not doing much to help his own race along." The woman defendant was represented by Attorney James C. Thomas, assisted by Arthur L, Renther, both of 11 Park place. Infested by Loan Sharks. The full text of Justice Lydon's opinion is as follows: 'THE COURT This is one of those cases, where, unfortunately, a large part of our citizens of the colored race are living in a section of this city which has been infested by a lot of loan sharks, who have established a method by which they can avoid the usury laws, and who have life time rights of the colored race that district by charging them thirty and forty per cent for loans. Of course, those loans are impoverished but it is up to the people of their own race in that section to remedy this evil. "Here is a case wher Mrs. — admits on the stand that she made an arrangement with this man by which he was to get a $4,000 loan for her. He was to get $500 and a bonus of $1,250, a total of $7,570 entered into every step of this now, we complain about it, and teks to take advantage of the statute against usury. Will Lose All Property. Frankly, I am sorry she cannot do it, because unless this swarm of usurers, who have come in that district within the last few years are gotten rid of, it means that the colored people there in the district will lose all their property, and they are losing it fast now from my knowledge of the cases that have come before me. "I am sorry in this case there is not sufficient evidence to pin notice upon the plaintiff and I regret extremely that the defendant made such imprudent arrangement with Mr. Mr. — is of the tortured race evidently he feels that if these human skins are partly capping in this kind of practice he entitled to participate in it. He certainly is not doing much to help a down race along by raising mortgages for them at rates that are ridiculous on its face. I can see no defence here.

Plunkett, chief clerk, assaulted a Negro lawyer who was trying to get an explanation for court negligence. Attorney Charles Lynch of 2138 Seventh avenue had a dispossess action against John Freeman, a tenant in the apartment at 215 West 122nd street, secured the dispossess on January 22 but Judge Sullivan gave Freeman 7 days in which to pay the rent.

He went to Mr. Plunkett and told him of the situation, but instead of getting the warrant or some explanation about the papers lost by someone connected with the court, Mr. Lynch was met with a tirade of abuse. Mr. Lynch told Mr. Plunkett that he was an attorney and that he had performed his duties as an attorney in securing the dispossess, and that it was the court's fault to have lost the papers.

"The race problem in our country is not sectional," he said; "It never has been. No section has the right to assume a higher than thou'rt attitude a higher other. It is not even an American problem, nor one exclusively of white and black relationships. Instead, it is a human problem of world-wide extent.

"I am not afraid of the uprising of the tunted races that some have predicted," continued Bishop McConnell, "but I am afraid that unless we speedily build a bridge of justice and cooperation the chasm of misunderstanding and distrust may become so deep as to be impassable, thus shutting off each group from the contribution it ought to receive from the other. Foreigners Record Lynchings "Some things in our American race relations are already discrediting Christianity in mission lands, as when in Mexico I saw a list of American lynchings printed and paraded in the effort of General Huerta to stir that country to war against the United States, and again in China was confronted with the same list as a reason why China should reject our civilization and our religion." Speaking first on "The Historical Approach," Bishop McConnell emphasized the necessity of looking at the race problem objectively and with passion, seeking to see his histories, passions, to its world-wide aspects, and to make all possible allowances for honest human mistakes and inconsistencies.

When he entered the court room he nodded to several state witnesses. Irene Marshall was standing at the trial while Prosecutor Chas H English as handling the case for the State and Former Prosecutor William H Geraghty that of the defense.

PLATO DURHAM Tells Kiwanis Club That Georgia Must Correct "Glaring Faults" Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia must do greater justice to its Negro population, particularly in regard to educational provisions, before it can hope to be regarded as completely civilized, said Dr. Plato T. Durham, of the faculty of Emory University, and a member of the Southern Interracial Commission, speaking at the wwkwomen's club of the Atlanta Killings Club. Other "glaring faults" which, according to Dr. Durham, must be corrected if the state is to regain the prestige it once enjoyed, are inadequate provisions for public education in general, and the denial by industrial and political leaders of the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively. Dr Durham's address was well received by the club, which numbers in its membership many of the city's business and professional leaders.

McKee was unable to speak to the graduating class of P. S. 119 on Wednesday, January 30, at 1 o'clock, and his place was taken by Watt Terry, head of the Terry Holding Co., real estate, who made impressive talk to the pupils on the taking advantage of their opportunities in life.

Captain John Archipoli, commanding the 16th Police Print on West 135th street, spoke briefly, cautioning the young folks against accepting gifts or invitations from strange people, since in nearly every instance such overtures are made for some evil purpose.

Suggested by Dr. Petioni. Last November, the need of such an opportunity was told to Dr. Neff, Dr. C. A. Petjoni, who is attached to the hospital staff as an adjunct assistant visiting physician and immediately, without urging and without agitation Dr. Neff began making arrangements for giving Harlem physicians the chance to get postgraduate experience, without cost of any sort to them, in the wards and private rooms of Harlem Hospital. His first clinic was held Friday, January 25, at 3 p.m., to which the physicians attached to the hospital staff, both as adjunct assistant visiting physicians and as clinicians in the out-patient department were invited Dr. Neff, in spite of his other duties, is personally in charge of these clinics, when were arranged by Dr. Luce M. Brown, who is, in length of service, the senior of the colored physicians on the staff. Wednesday Clinics Also. As a rather evidence of his interest in this phase of the work, and in his own solution, Dr Neff has also arranged a series of clinics for Wednesday afternoon, serving as chairman, to which all of the patients to Harlem are invited. Dr Peterson is official stenographer for this clinic. These clinics offer local physicians an opportunity for study of rare and unusual cases, and their interest is shown by the fact that there is not room enough afforded by hospital resources to accommodate all who wish to take advantage of the clinics. Dr Neff is the fullest cooperation by heads of the various hospital departments DULL HEADACHE, BACKACHE and Palms in Sides "For fifteen years I have been using Black-Draught, when needed, for hiliousness and constipation," says Mr. J. O. Woolard of Oriental, N. C., "and I have always found it to be reliable and effective. It certainly comes up to all the good things that are said for it, and I am glad to recommend it. "I have found that Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT purges the system of the poisons which accumulate when the organs do not act properly, and I would not be without it. "I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a laxative is needed). It is fine for that. "My trouble is chiefly constipation which is always accompanied by dull headache, backache, and pains in my sides. I think Black-Draught is the quickest and best relief for this."

Many of those who attended the wedding twenty-five years ago were guests at the reception. Among the guests present were their two sons, Harry A. Carter Jr., and Floyd Robert Carter; their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. James Thompson and Waula Elizabeth Thompson, the only grandchild of the Carters. Rev. S. W. Smith, present pastor of the Messiah Baptist Church, was also present. A pleasant evening was spent in socializing with friends after which refreshments were served by the children of the honored couple assisted by a few of their friends, the Misses Esther Brown, Clara Norfleet and Lae Lee. Many toasts were given Mr. and Mrs. Carter by the guests with Dr. John A. Morgan as toast-master. Mr. and Mrs. Carter were the recipients of many beautiful and useful gifts. Philadelphia Folks Visit the Bouchet Days --- Mrs. Dorothy Henricks-McKinney and her sister, Miss Elizabeth Hendricks of Philadelphia, Pa. were the weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. H.

Those present were Mr. and Mrs. H. Bouchet Day and Mr. and Mrs. Ludlow W. Werner, and later on they were joined by Rustus McKinney and Archie Lebeau. After farewell, they motored to Kensico Dam, and returned having dined with Mr. and Mrs. Day before motoring back to Philadelphia. Interesting Visitors Call At A. & T. College Greensboro, N. C.—One of the most interesting of recent visitors to the A. & T College was the Rev. Aspansa Johnson, a native African, resident of Sierra Leone, West Coast, who spoke to the student body. He is on a tour of Negro educational institutions to secure ideas which might be employed in the school at Sierra Leone of which he is president. He is a graduate of the University of Durham, England, and of the University of London. He told the students that most Americans have mistaken ideas about Africa and Africans, and that they should seriously consider a visit to that continent. He told of the need there for men trained in Science, economics and teaching. He the interesting visitor was Dr H. Sawat of the Federal Board of Vocational Education, who spent a week in the state reviewing the Negro training schools. He was accompanied by Roy H. Thomas, state supervisor of vocational agriculture. Appealing to the students for greater interest in vocational work, Dr Sargent cited instances in which the farmer secured greater financial return through such training. In Stokedale, Miss, he said, "I were a farmer and I was clichédment that draws 51 per cent of the milk it uses from Negro farmers and that one man is drawing a monthly check of $600." Morehouse College begins week its campaign for $300,000, match a like amount recently offered the institution by the General Education Board. The campaign will be conducted in several stages. There will be first a campaign among the faculty and students. Following this the local alumni and the colored people of Atlanta will be appealed. The third stage will be an appeal to the white people of Atlanta. Finally there will be a general campaign among alumni and friends of the college, North and South. Campus Goal is $15,000 under the Campus campaign under the chairmanship of R. W. Riley ready. Mr. Riley will be assisted by vice chairmen J. H. Wheeler and O. M. Beverly, eight captains and a working organization of ally-all students. The campus has been placed with attractive signs all bearing the campaign slogan—"Morehouse Knows No Deaf!" A campus goal of $15,000 has been adopted, and advance subscriptions and interest indicate that this amount will be over-subscribed. $17,000 Subscribed By Faculty And Students In Morehouse Endowmen Atlanta, Ga.—The campaign to raise $300,000 for endowment for Morehouse College started this week on the Morehouse campus. That the old Morehouse spirit still exists and is fully alive was tested today by the result of the five-day campus campaign among the students and faculty of the College. The result was far-reaching, and proved that Morehouse students and faculty are so vitally concerned with the cause of Negro education of the future that they are ready and willing to do their part to make more permanent and effective an institution that already means much to the advancement of Negro youth. The campus campaign took the form of a contest among three factors: the student body, composed of The Tigers and the Hornets, and the faculty. The two student divisions were under the leadership of Chairman R W. Riley, assisted by vice chairman, H. Wheeler and O M Beverly, and a corps of twelfwo workers. The goal was set at $15,000, and reports of subscriptions received by me made daily at service attended by my student body and faculty and featured by musical numbers and five hundred speeches. No one was allowed for overtime to lose sight of the fact expressed by the slecan adopted for the campaign, "Mouthouse Knows No Defeat." Results have borne out the slogan Tuesday reports showed almost one-third of the figure set subscribed: Wednesday, almost one-half Thursday two-thirds. And now, on the final day of the campaign, word comes that the quote has been oversubscribed $16,900-50 has already been subscribed, and further pledges are expected during the day. (Figures showed the faculty ahead, with the Hornets leading the Tigers by a very small margin.) The students and (faculty of Morehouse College have met the issue squarely. They have recognized the value of believing firmly in a project before asking others to believe in it. They have opened the way and have set the pace. And with this assurance of loyalty and support within the College itself Morehouse now feels warranted in appealing to its friends white and colored, for a successful completion of the great project while it has undertaken HEALTH IS HERE BY DR.

For answer he got: "No sir, not mine. Built it with my own hands and my own tools. I've rid out four of 'em. Of course this last time my windows went, but that was just on account of other houses blowing into me." proposition laid down by the Louisville paper and rather goes to sustain the utterance of Bishop Wall. It said among other things: If we could learn to merchandise instead of dailying in buying and selling, then we could be successful merchants. It is to the benefit of the Negro merchants to learn how to buy and sell so that they may compete with the other man on the merits of the product, and service rendered and not depend on that old time-worn and moth-eaten sales talk of patronize me because I am a colored man. policies, without any interfering with the internal management of any individual paper. Instead of allowing outside agencies to control foreign advertising, it should make some combination based on the total circulation of all of its members, which would be fair to the advertisers and advantageous to the individual papers. on such subjects. There are many ways in which such an organization could be of benefit to editors and publishers, but it must be based on responsible membership. Unless its members are owners or proprietors of the papers, they cannot be regarded as responsible newspapermen. The annual meeting of a newspaper organization of the feature and this has been the missing link in the chain of organizations involving efforts at the institution of the social problems in the south. The white man has claimed to know the Negro has claimed to know the white man. Their knowledge of each There was also another man encountered by Mr. Broun, whose ego seemed to have profited by the catastrophe of last summer. He was the white skipper of a fishing boat, who said the storm was the finest thing that ever happened to him. Of course he was frightened, but after everything was over, he was still there. This convinced him that nothing could be worse than what he had experienced, and as even that couldn't kill him, how could he ever possibly get scared of anything again. These two men at least gained their lessons from the storm. MR. HOOVER AND THE SOUTH. The fact that the Solid South was split in the last national election by the recording of the electoral votes of North Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Texas for the republican candidate, has given rise to many interesting speculations as to the nature shaping of political policies in that section. That the reversal of the traditional policy of the South means a new alignment of political forces is the hope it many observers, although the support of Mr. Hoover was largely in the nature if a protest against the nomination of governor Smith. The part played by the allywhite Republicans in carrying these states is not counted as important, because the victory was really due to the revolt of the anti-Smith Democrats. There is another lesson that Mr. Broum insisted should be realized by Southerners, and that is that the present status of the Negro is handicapping the whole section. He argues that is is extremely difficult to develop civilization under democratic forms in any community that harbors a helot class. And it is that kind of class that the white South seeks to keep the Negro in, that of serfs or slaves, despite the Proclamation of Emancipation. The average Southerner is described as kindly and pleasant enough to the Negro, so long as the latter "knows his place." "It is the uppity Negro who arouses the ire of the ruling classes." Confirming this view of the situation, we find a political correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing from Miami Beach, Fla., concerning the activities of Col. Horace Mann, in laying the foundation for a militant Republican party, not only in Florida but in other Southern states. Col. Mann, by the way, was the mystery man of the last campaign, he having conducted a separate bureau at Washington in support of Mr. Hoover's candidacy, entirely distinct from the Republican national headquarters. Col. Mann is now in Florida, interviewing all southern politicians who hope to get the ear of the President-elect. He is said to make it clear that he is not dealing with the subject of patronage, but with the matter of organization. It is this attitude of the White South that Mr. Brown declares to be based on fallacious reasoning. As he understands it, the Southern white man sets up barriers against the Negro because he is afraid that anything approaching social equality would mean the mixing of the races. But the writer contends that the only effective barrier against such admixture is pride in race, as shown in certain parts of the world by Jews who have maintained their own traditions and racial integrity though surrounded by aliens. So if the South wants racial purity, it must increase the ego of the Negro and not diminish it. Any true passion for racial purity must come from both sides. Singularly enough, it is emphasized that there is to be no Lilywhite party in the new organization of Southern Republicans. It is said to be Mr Hoover's idea that race prejudice must go the way of political prejudice, if the Republican party is to flower under Southern skies. The influx of Northern Republicans is expected to help the movement in Florida, where tariff protection is to be invoked for the raisers of fruits and vegetables against the competition of Cuba and the Bahamas. It is through the adoption of such local issues as these, which affect the material interests of the voters, that those who formerly voted the Democratic ticket, are to be brought to see that their interests can be better served by voting Republican. The way has been shown them how to do it, without any disastrous results. Replying to the anticipated objection that he may have no right to voice an opinion on the Negro problem after spending one week in Florida, Mr. Broun rejoins that as a matter of fact it is the white problem that he is discussing. This is a phase of the question that most writers lose sight of, when discussing the inconsistencies of the Southern situation. Mr. Broun declares that no ruling class has ever benefitted by the existence of a peasant class, and supplements it by the statement that "a certain number of white men in the South are so busy being superior that they really have no time to be in any way worth a tinker's dam". With which historn comparison we will leave Mr. Broun's incisive indictment of Southern folly and inconsistency for the consideration of those most immediately concerned In the development of a new policy for the South, it is emphasized that the President-elect has already shown by his words and actions that he is intensely anti-sectional. He believes that it would be advantageous to the South of it would rid itself entirely of the shackles of political tradition. He recognizes that the Democratic party has existed principally through the force of prejudice. He is said to want to end this state of things by bringing the South into line with the rest of the country in its division on political issues. There should be an active division along party lines, but with the ancient hatreds and obsolete principles discarded. TWO VIEWS OF BUSINESS The Louisville News, which is published every Saturday at Louisville, Ky., recently took for the subject of an editorial sermon preached by Bishop Walls, during the Council of Bishops of the A. M. Church. The News said that the good bishop took excursions into other fields than the one covered by his text, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Among other things he descanted upon the decorable fact that all Negroes are supposed to think and act alike in matters political, and that for a Negro to vote the democratic ticket is to invite the malice, hatred and insult of others. The News agreed that this was very true for some season, but disagreed with the bishop when he said further: The Louisville News, which is published every Saturday at Louisville, Ky., recently took for the subject of an editorial a sermon preached by Bishop Walls, during the Council of Bishops of the A.

The News agreed that this was very true for some reason, but disagreed with the bishop when he said further: In seeking to bring about this new alignment of the South on living issues, it is entirely likely that the old leaders of both races and of both parties may be thrown in the discard. If the Post correspondent's analysis of the situation is correct, the Republicans who fathered the Lilywhite movement to displace the Negro politicians are in their turn to give way to a more enlightened leadership. Prejudice is to be divorced from politics in a sectional sense, and it is also to be hoped in a racial sense. If such a policy is strictly followed, there is hope for a revival of the Republican party in the South as a living organization You colored people in business, cannot expect me to give you my patronage solely because you are colored, when I can get the same article cheaper from a white man." In this the Bishop is entirely in error, for in his own case, he expects the Negroes to support him as a Bishop simply because he is colored. What would he think of his church if they got rid of all the Negro bishops and employed white ones because they could be obtained for a few cents less? For if we don't support Negro enterprises because of race integrity they will never be able to compete with the white man in any business, when the white man has all the support of his own race and 95 per cent of the Negro race. Political developments in the South will bear watching The Jews patronize one another at any cost to keep the race successful and there is no reason Negroes should not do the same Jews support their professional men to the exclusion of all Gentiles for the very reason, they are Jews. Unless we become more clamish in that respect we are doomed to be overcome and crowded out from every kind of business on earth. HEYWARD BROUN IN FLORIDA. Writing from Palm Beach in his column, "It Seems To Me." in the New York Telegram, "unconceded, except by the author," Heyward Broun told of some discoveries made by him in the Land of Sunshine and Flowers, according to the guidebooks. He found a Floridian whose spirit was sufficiently stamach Taking the position that complexion or texture of hair need prove no bar to business, the Louisiana Weekly of New Orans almost diametrically opposes the Taking the position that complexion or texture of hair need prove no bar to business, the Louisiana Weekly of New Orlans almost diametrically opposes the proposition laid down by the Louisville paper and rather goes to sustain the utterance of Bishop Wall.

The race group is fast falling away from that "patronize me because I am a colored man" and is looking to the merchant with the standardized goods and with a service and price to suit the pocket. The race merchant must learn to sell service and not color. The group does not desire to buy color, but is desirous of spending their monies advantageously We are inclined to think that our New Orleans contemporary and Bishop Wall have the best of the argument.

WAITERS AND WAITRESSES In a recent Sunday issue of the New York World, Lester A. Walton noted the fact, that for the first time since Florida became the nation's playground, hundreds of Negro waiters would miss their winter jaunt to that section. There were no special trains this season leaving Pennsylvania station for Palm Beach and Miami, with the army of itinerant serviers, who look forward eagerly to the avoidance of a Northern winter. The season assigned for this cessation of the migratory movement South is the dearth of employment at those hotels whichitherto employed Negro waiters. Florida appeared to be the last stand of the Negro waiter who had gradually been supplanted in the larger hotels of New York, Philadelphia and Chicago by white foreigners. The introduction of foreign dishes is held to some extent responsible for this displacement, but others lay it partly to the failure of the colored waiters to keep step with the advancement of the profession and the lack of fresh blood to undergo the necessary training for acceptable service. Then during the war, when man power became scarce, girls were substituted for men in hotels and restaurants, and in many cases retained in preference to male help. There are said to be more girls waiting in tables at Florida resorts today than there are men. There was a time some ten or fifteen years ago, during the last big strike of the white hotel waiters in this city, when there was an opportunity offered for the negroes to regain the old place they once occupied in this class of service. Hotel proprietors were eager to fill the places of the strikers with competent men, and only required numbers and ability to give proper service to command the situation. Mr. Frissell, an officer of the fifth Avenue Bank, anxious to further the economic progress of the race, made a proposition to open and equip a headquarters for the training of applicants, so that they could be turned out fit for the job. But there were not enough applicants to fill the gap in anything like the numbers needed, so this opportunity went unimproved. While the men have lost standing in the occupation of waiters, the females of the race have gained largely as employees in tearooms and restaurants. Some of the larger restaurants in New York are manned entirely by colored waitresses. The men still retain their popularity in dining cars, as in the Pullman service, where they perform the difficult feat of serving well-cooked meals under trying conditions. While the colored waiter has been displaced almost entirely in the larger hotels and dining rooms, the Negro musicians have become an established feature of places of any pretensions to modishness. So the losses in one occupation may be balanced by the gains in others. In a recent Sunday issue of the New York World., Lester A.

It is somewhat paradoxical that the Negro press, which is always advocating unity and organization as a panacea for illions, has been unable to perfect or maintain a real live newspaper organization. We do not mean an association of responsible newspaper writers or hang-on, or the authors of letters to the editor, but the owners, proprietors, editors and publishers of bonafide publications who make a living by their exorcism in this line.

Atlanta, Ga.-January 30—I have just returned to Atlanta from a ten day trip through Pennsylvania and Ohio, where I journeyed at the invitations, of the Pittsburgh, Akron and Canton Urban Leagues to deliver the principal address at the anniversary celebration of each of the above mentioned local organizations. The annual meeting at Pittsburgh was held at noon in the Chamber of Commerce building January 16. In his annual report, Alonzo C Thayer, Executive Secretary, gave some very significant information relative to the activities of his organization during the past year. Through the civic worker, the school visitor, the girls club worker, as well as the office of the executive secretary, approximately 1,006 visits were made 211 interviews and 230 meetings, held, and 211 contacts made with various other social agencies in the city. Emphasizing health as a fundamental factor in the life of a community, a year-round health educational campaign has been conducted with the cooperation of the Children's Department of the Bureau of Health, the Negro churches, the Public Health Nursing Association, the daily and weekly papers and the principals of the schools The executive secretary concentrated on employment opportunities which resulted in one of the industries in the county employing 3,000 Negroes in a comparatively new field of labor. The unemployment situation was indicated in the fact that of the 854 Negro men and women registering only 12% were placed. In Akron, Ohio, we spoke on the evening of January 17 at a jacqueline held in the lecture room of the newly constructed A.M. F. Church George W. Thompson executive secretary of the Akron Association for Colored Community Work Through the boys' department of that organization, the following groups were organized during the year Boy Scout Troop No 54, East Akron Community, North Boy Scouts, North Lnd Stair Attleutier Club, Variety Club, Lettermen Club, through which about 383 boys registered with an aggregate attendance of 3500. Through the girls department, approximately 303 girls were reached with an aggregate attendance at the meetings of 238. 54,400 represents the approximate attendance at the club meetings of the men women girls and boys private parties, socials, pool and game room, tennes and horse inn courts and daily office visits. Cooperation with other social agencies is maintained and given those seeking employment The Canton Urban League which Gerald E. Allen is executive secretary, had its banquet on the night of January 23 in the dining room of the Central Y M C A. In many ways this, was the most colorful occasion of all. Some 300 persons, equally divided between the two racial groups, were present. Included among them were three judges, one congressman, a four millionaires, who sat down and ate meat together. Some 0.000 000 boys and girls of different race elements were reached through the activities of this organization, which supplies the needs of a Y M C A, a Y W C A, and an Urban League, being the only organization whose major activities are directed toward the colored people in that city. This Urban League is housed in a $50,000 community house, which has a large gymnasium and club rooms for boys and girls. It is remarkable how this organization has been rejuvenated in the past eight teen months. All three of the organizations are doing a good day's work Prepared by H. Y.

There are many ways in which such an organization could be of benefit to editors and publishers, but it must be based on responsible membership. Unless its members are owners or proprietors of the papers, they cannot be regarded as responsible newspapermen. The annual meeting of a newspaper organization of this sort should be held at some convenient time and place, preferably as an adjunct to the National Business League, which would demand the presence of many of its members as business men. The Negro press has become more than ever a business institution, so it should get together for the doing of business according to business methods. Gentleman Editor of The New York Age Julius Rosenwald, the merchant prince and benefactor of mankind, is known in all parts of the world. Everywhere men of all races and creeds point to him as a business genius that represents the best that America affords and a man who fully understands and appreciates the obligation of great genius and wealth to society. There is probably no individual in the world today who has a stronger and more human appeal to the hearts of men in all the world than this few of the Middle West Vice having seen Mr Rosenwald on many and different occasions, I have come to the conclusion that the other different between Mr Rosenwald and many other philanthropists—the one thing that makes his strongest appeal is not the money that he has so cheerfully and generously contributed to worthy causes in all parts of the world, but the personality of the man Rosenwald that is coupled up with his gift. Mr Rosenwald never seems to realize his wealth man could not need a gift in a cauldron as the big man that he is simply because he is quiet modest and unassuming very dimmable in all of his movements. There are men with practically no wealth as compared to Mr. Roswald who hold themselves alone from their fellowmen. This must be due to the fact that their own personal affairs or the business in which they are engaged to express their time that they have not time left for the real task of late to late and enjoy them as this great man does by mingling happily with the crowd. Mr Rosenwald sorts never quite to forget people. He remembers men and their little problems. He seeks to know more on their every day pleasures as well as their difficulties. It is this side of the man Rosenwald that appeals to men above all to the personal that the true man art that this wonderful man has been able to send into every gift handshake, remembrance, and so much that will make the name Rosenwald carry an appeal with it that other names do not have. Rosenwald the Jew is helping his underprivileged brother just as the Good Samaritan to help himself. He is not only having Negroes and white people to work together in harmony, he is having them take on a part of home decorate spirit which makes for a more pleasant dual and when only thanks dangle thoughts.

In turn the Ne Murder will out, the graft and corruption that is tearing the city council to pieces is indeed a painful spectacle. Mein gave the public trust, betraying it daily, selling the people who trusted them. Months ago we called attention to the open operation chiefly among Negroes and ignorant Whites of the policy wheels in Minneapolis. We inferred that this open operation was due either to influence brought by money or indifference to the fate of Negroes foolish enough to feed the policy wheel owners. No real attempt has been made to stop policy playing. Colored business men for reasons that are plain though unwise, allow agents to solicit plays in their establishments and the police sleep on The Law. The Law League investigates baseball pools and ignores policy. The county attorney and the grand jury investigates councilmen and forget to delve into the almost public gambling even known as policy. Who gets the graft from policy? Why don't the police make an effort to stop this wholesale robbery of an economically poor people? Somebody is getting the graft in this policy business and we mean to find out what is and then we will institute an investigation.

It is alleged that he refused to leave the coach in which he was traveling after leaving St. Louis, for the coach set apart for Negroes only. We know nothing of the facts; we are not discussing the law, but we make this observation if the law is to be enforced one violation it should be exempt. It is a notorious fact that this law is satisfied with impunity by white men, the colored coach takes the crew, and chat with members of the crew, he does not fear that the law will be enforced against him. Now and that you will and a conductor who has the courage to ask him out, this the exception rather than the rule. The colored travails on the trains are of gross discriminatory in the application of the law. In theory it is supposed to be cost and equitable, in practice it is a hive of another color. The coach for colored is used for every purpose that is handy for the train crew and for other people. Converts accompanied by white officers are carried in the coach, mean people are accompanied by white guards are seated with the test, the butler, who takes all the duties that he desires. When his wife is seated he is seated with the coach for contient, summer she are sent to select the shade, leave the car or the office, when everyone is sat, then the colored passenger and first class are accommodated to take it.

Saturday, February 9, 1829 the feature and this has been the missing link in the chain of circumstances involving efforts at theolution of the social problems in the South. The white man has claimed to know the Negro. In turn the Negro has claimed to know the whiteman. Their knowledge of each other's attitudes has been gained from incidents of a public or a private nature and they can mostlyassumption. Their attitudes mustbe consequent outgrowth of much false assumption and mutualprejudice has been the result. Theinter-racial efforts are educative and sympathetic in their nature and theymust accomplish permanent good. This is a sober estimate by a southern editor of the value of theinterracial Commission movement Under the headline, "When We Learn Some Sense" the Houston Informer referred to the fact that a local white theatre which had for over a year excluded Negroes on Saturday and Sunday, had recently raised the ban. It continued. With keen and fierce competition from two other theatres in the same field, pulling hundreds of its white customers away, this local playhouse has not only rebounded its former ban on Negroes, but has given the dusk patrons more space in the balcony. Now to show, our lack of those attributes and sensibilities which feature races of men of red blood and self-respect, scores of local Negroes are broadcasting the fact that the white theatre now permits blacks to attend every day and night, and thereby urging and influencing Negroes to play the theatre, which excluded them on certain occasions for two years. Little wonder it is that other races regard us as a racial joke and treat us as children, for in many respect, we do not have or exercise the sense and judgment of children and whatever insult is heaped upon the race, even where we do not have to submit to such, we will accept same and then have the brazen audacity to try to offer excuses and apologies for the persons and races heaping such insults upon us. Listen, folks until we stop acting so silly and show more horse sense and racial self-respect, then we not get all let us up when members of other races, who note our assume acts refer to and call us "boy."

Lots' wife showed wisdom in having left the city of destruction to a vastly longing look toward all she was wearing behind and became detrited. The pastor explained that a pastor not so much what we do, but what we intend to do. Malice and hatred in the heart makes one gullible and warlike in the mind, warlike in the unity for the deed. It is right to look backward for information and inspiration, but not with a desire to go back to old habits but not to wrong the water yet upon it, but we should care for the forward to God. Religion is a movement in which we are always becoming. The pastor began to unto a moving water like a chanin and not to have a stagnant pool.

He asked for a heart. However, He pleased the Isleacils and gave them Saul as kilt, but when the day of battle came and Saul disbelieved the Lord. He disunified Saul being king and would, not forgive him of his. This is one reason why so many Christians fail to reach the standard that Christ set for, for man judge one according to his personal appearance, his strength, its education and her outwardly important qualities, but God tries the hearts of men.

Church An exceptionally large and appreciative audience greeted the pastor Rev D Ward Nichols, on Saturday morning. The pastor urged the audience to be kind and the message was indeed an inspiring one. Many beautiful truths were brought home to the hearers. At the close of the service, six persons came forward and joined the Church. The service was high during the entire service, the celebration of the Lord's Semper presenting a fitting climax. Three hundred and twenty-seven persons commenced the service at an usual hour under the intermendent, Mr Nelson. Nine new members were added bringing the total in the membership drive up to 125. All of the cases are increasing rapidly and the pastor again filled the pulpit, preaching the second of his series of sermons on "Five Great Religions of Mankind" Mohammedanism was the subject.

Church How amazing it is that God would ever betray His love when men woken men who live on the earth. So said Pastor Strachan a morning service last Saturday. He told them that he was "He Love of God." Continuing the pastor said, a gentleman once remarked to a clergyman that the Bible contained many strange and puzzling expressions, and among them was cited the verse "He Love of God have I latch! When asked what part of the verse seemed most puzzling the reply was: "Of that part come about latting last. What kind of God on your heart be He hate! His creation." He later replied that to the man that the strangest of latch, after latching and latching, it seemed strange that God could ever have latch. No human earth on earth could have come with his wicked and rebellious subjects as God has dealt with men. There is nothing a minister can do to obey God. man is a peculiar manifestation of love. A love that knows and understands all the while, that the object upon which it is bestowed is unworthy. God's love for man is a joy to angels and angels are agreed with certain aspects of God's love, but know nothing about redeeming love, a love that matches a man from the lowest depths of degradation and sin and plates that man by the throne of the infinite Men, and not angels, have stirred the heart of God. What he has done for one He would gladly do for the other. But He has never been called upon to do for inhabitants of unfallen worlds what He has done for wicked men. God's love for sinful men will be the study book of eternity. Love is not a fractional part of His constitution. Love is indeed the fullest expression of His whole being and personality. The Christian religion is the only religion that sets forth its God as the very embodiment of love. The matchless love of our God exceeds the matchless love of our Separate love from our Supreme Being and naught would be left. God's love to men is infinite, it knows no bounds or limitations. It matters not how many creatures draw upon it; the supply is never exhausted. His love is also everlasting. His love is gigantic stream of sunlight it illumines the souls of men, it sweetens their lives, and produces the highest culture. God's love for us moves our love for Him. We love Him because He loved us so. Our love for His is a reflection of His love for us. We so enchirne His love in our souls. Beth-Tphilah Fourth Moravian Church What no eye has ever seen; What no ear has ever heard; What never entered the mind of man; God has prepared all that for those that love Him. In these words, the traveller, scholar and man of the world recounts his experiences and finds that Christ is more satisfying than all that nature, art or mental acquisition, accustomed to exaggeration, but a recounting of bare facts. He is not alone in this realm people归于 John, Peter, Heas, Luther, Wesley and the tens of thousands who have laboured for the kingdom of God and the fellowship of the believers.

In the afternoon Dr. Proctor, after the forum at Jamaica in connection with the Congregational Church there of which Rev C. L. Miller is the pastor. THE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker T. Washington) began and the present great, ample and commodious plan is particularly important for one man to be about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The education and annual training on three hundred young men and women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most important and useful benefit. His purpose was to radiate from a sense like Trukegee the light of the homely but ever living truths which must form the basis of the real advance for his race, or any race, WILLIAM HOWARD TAPT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

Church "God has been and is now speaking to the world in various ways and there is no excuse for not obeying and serving Him, for we must not just for the sake of being good, but because in the final analysis it is the best thing for us morally, religiously and ethically," said the pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tylor, during the course of his morning discussion. He was speaking from the text Sl. John 15:22, and was stressing the new relationship between Jesus Christ and His disciples as mentioned in the text. Dr. Tylor stated that there was solemn teaching in Jesus Christ and that solemn teaching in that should bood. He also emphasized the point that we should have a better conception of God and not view Him as a God who was ready and willing at all times to destroy them that should be ready to receive Him. This is not His spirit. He is a God of mercy, patient and long suffering, and it is our spiritual loss if we do not heed His voice or receive Him. The spacious office was filled to and standing room was at at premium. Three persons joined the church when the invitation was extended. At the close of the services, the Rev. James A.

This is the call of the Church of the Living Christ everywhere, to come to the worship edifying of our lives. No more appropriate scripture text could have been solicited for the occasion than 2 Timothy 4, and frequent references from the scriptures were read by the pastor to make his message more flexible and easier to understand. The Lord's Supper was administered at this morning hour of worship. The following persons were received into the membership of the church Alvin Burroughs, Mrs. Alvin Burroughs, 385 Lafayette avenue; Grover, Nora Lafayette avenue; Noren A Lawton, Mrs. Claudia Lawton 358 Halley street Bible school met in general session at the close of the morning worship.

Pupils of the young men's class told of what "Our Class" meant. They brought out how helpful the discussion of current topics and information had been brought out by their teacher had been. These young men also brought an optimistic note in telling of the future program for the youth of the church as well as for their class. Greetings were extended by Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Hinda, helpful and knowledgeable in their experience as workers in Sabina. An afternoon weaver service was held at four o'clock, particularly in keeping with the assistance of pastor.

David E. Lane of Boston, president of the New England Baptist Convention B. Y. P. U., spoke at a district meeting of the New York B. Y. P. U.'s in the afternoon, urging that the effort be continued along with this type of work service as goals to further efforts and real progress in teaching to youth the reasons why they are Baptists, that they may not be awayed by every wind that blows, because of lack of knowledge of Baptist practice.

M. D. basketball tossers hooked up with the Central Queens quintet, leaders in the Brooklyn and Queens basketball league. The young men from Jamaica came out in full force, not feeling too confident in the possible outcome of the game. They no doubt were mindful of the fact that their four point margin in the first game some weeks ago could not be considered in passing judgment. They came and Carlton was ready, and myl myl what a game. Carlton took the lead from the first whistle, when "Boot" Perry made two very difficult shoots in succession. Another one by Day gave Charlton a six-point lead during the first seven minutes of play. Up until this time Queens was held scoreless. During the last ten minutes, both teams run up their totals to 17 points; thus ending the first half. The second half was nip and tuck from the very beginning Queens, however, had an 8-point lead during the first ten minutes, but were unable to check the fast passing, shifty floor work and clever shooting of Smith and Day. Schoenfield, one of the best Jamaica has ever produced at forward, was held scoreless in field baskets. Frequent changes on the part of Queens in their attempt to take the lead had very little effect. With two minutes to go, Perry of Carlton and Schoenfield of Queens were eliminated on fouls. With the score 31-30 both teams fought desperately. The final whistle caught Queens on the low end 30- Carlton 31. F.G.

Twenty-one teams from eleven different cities of the state will fight it out for the honor of receiving A. A. U recognition as the amateur champions of New Jersey.

"State Street Sadie" is a stirring melodrama of Chicago's desperate underworld. The fact that the characters all talk helps make it the most remarkable picture ever screened. In "State Street Sadie", Myrna Loy enacts the character of Isobel, the daughter of a policeman who has been shot down by a band of desperadoes. She determines to find the slayer, as does also Ralph Blake who has just returned from a trip to South America to find that his derelict twin brother is a suicide. These two work together and go through some of the most harrowing experiences before running the murderer to earth. Butterbeans and Susie's new re-issue, the fastest and funniest in which famous pair have yet appeared. A cast of forty popular entertainers, a fast stepping chorus and a red hot jazz band help Butterbeans and Susie make their re-issue a splendid entertainment. The Midnight Steppers, who helped to make the midnight show of the Pulman Porters, such a signal success at the Lafayette Theatre two weeks ago, are part of the cast of Cheer Chee, the musical comedy revue which will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week. Other famous artists are also included in the cast of Cheer Chee. Those include Boot Marshall and Company Rose Monella, Wilde Jackson and the famous Cheer Chee Band. The feature picture for the week will be "Revenge" starring Dolores Del Rio. This remarkable star has become one of the outstanding stars of the screen. Her triumph in White Price Glory's Resurrection "Ramona and The Red Dame" have placed her at the very top of the list of famous screen stars. Revenge" the picture in which she will appear at the Lafayette Theatre next week is her latest and greatest.

It just about has everything that is guaranteed to send an audience home happy, chuckling and whistling." The Evening Ledger added its praise by saying: "Blackbirds is pulsing, primitive, alive entertainment. From overture to final curtain it is all action, and if jaz is your dish, this show presents it in riotous profusion." The Philadelphia Inquirer characterized "Blackbirds as a fast and tuneful extravaganza," while Herman Diceck in the Record stated it was "A snappy vue and certain to have a great vogue in Philadelphia.

It would be much kinder, even if more cruel, if the reviewers used the same standards of judgment when considering the offerings of Negro singers as they use for members of their own race, because the colored artist is almost certain to accept the dictum of the Nordic and to present that to the public as prima facie evidence of superior attainment. And too often this leads to sad and disastrous experience and to bitter awakening. N. I. Sunday afternoon, Harry Delmore of Boston was presented to a New York audience, by J. Mardo Brown of the "Show Boat" company, as a tenor of unusual gifts, paralleling John McCormick, the Lich tenor, in the quality of his work. And a folder from the Management Harry Delmore, 504 Shawmut avenue, Boston, lists some drawn expressions, all from Nordic sources, lauding the young Negro mentor for his artistic development. As a consequence, one went to Grace Congregational Church, West 10th street, Sunday, February 3, in anticipation of a performance of utmost merit. If any one of certain phases of vocal perfection could be described as a perfect whole, it might be said that the anticipation was realized, but unfortunately for the aspiring artist that does not obtain. Mr Delmore has a gracious presence on the stage, and to this must be added a measurable technical equipment, evidently acquired through faithful and painstaking application. He displayed a voice of powerful volume, and it seemed difficult for him to restrain it to the point of producing a reasonably pianissimo tone. And when he heyed into softer passages, there resulted more the effect of muted or unheered tones than of a bell-like clarity. The young tenor showed breath control, particularly in the long passages embodied in the aisis from Handel's "Messiah," but he frequently exhibited a tendency to cut short final tones of a theme. In these passages, there was a reasonable smoothness and clearness, with an occasional resort to overtones, but when singing the more forceful tones, the timbre of the voice was strongly saturated with nasality. Mr. Delmore's interpretation exhibited intelligence and understanding, but the lack of restraint shown in his utterances frequently destroyed what would probably have been an enjoyable rendition. With his evident intelligence, there is no reason to believe that he cannot correct present faults, and it is very much to be desired that he give himself to the cultivation of a more restrained utterance, and to the development of a pleasing mezzo voice. An artistic and pleasing exhibition of the art of playing, accompanied by instruments was furnished by Andrades Lunday, who was at the piano. Mr. Delmore was given a cordial and appreciative reception by a rather small audience, who seemed endeavoring to make up in enthusiasm what was lacking in numbers, and to be trained to exhibit New York hospitality to an ambitious young artist. HALL JOHNSON NEGRO CHOIR IN ITS SECOND RECITAL OF CURRENT SEASON The Hall Johnson in Negro Clour appeared in its second New York record of the current season on Sunday evening, February 3, at the Gall Theatre, 254 West 54th street, and the program was similar to sing in other concerts, with some new numbers and hits. I must be said for Hall Johnson that his offerings always bear the stamp of his individuality and so they are never uninteresting. The enthusiasm appreciation shown hint and his singers will be cleaned from the fact that no less than six of the programmed numbers had to be sung twice, in addition to which there were about twenty added as encore numbers. I recalled that all of the numbers used by this group are arrangements that have been made by Mr. Johnson, and they exhibit a simple sympathy of treatment that preserves, in most instances, the unease simplicity which is the outstanding characteristic of Negro Clour. At the same time the arrangements are given a richer harmonization, to satisfy the car attuned to the more classic forms, the tapestrying in some instances to 6 part, 7-part and 8-part. To my mind, there is no organisation of Negro singers which is effective in its presentation of Negro folk music as the Hall Johnson, Negro Choir, and its program ranges from the selenin prayer over, through the soul-stirring Spirituals, on to the toll-releasing Worship. However, it must be said, in all justice, that the singing of the choral on this occasion appeared to be a lot tagged in places, was not the accustomed smooth regularity in rhythm in all of the chords. was at least one, possibly more, of the most important appiring to be somewhat incapacitated physically, although wanted, always to hold up his end must always. With the best suit, with the utmost good will, and looking only to the time of bed, the singing artist on the stage, and the face heart in, I must call attention to the harm done by such unfortunate exhibition. Program opened with "Go down, Moses, making a most and thrilling opening, followed with 'How long train has away to do,' and "Every time I lost de Seyr, the was repeated, and an added number to the troop was at hand on the plow." The male section of the choir sang old group, "De Gospel Train," "Over yonder" Witness and noe."

Deacon Johnson, knowing that to Coaghe and his orchestra were not working, negotiated with Gus to furish his men to play a job. Deacon binted he would like to use a couple of his (Deacon's) regular men on this job, but the demurence of Gus, Deacon yielded and agreed to let all of Gus's men play the job. The men were turned up with couple of men out of the regular band, to Deacon's amateur Deacon pointed out to Gus that he had hired him because he knew the Gus had just closed a long engagement, and that therefore his band was organized, that at Gus's insistence he had not used some men he had tree that right and have liked to work. Further, Deacon could get no satisfactory explanation as to why Gus did not notify him so that Deacon could put on the job the men he had told Gus about rough action in this matter has caused Deacon to look elsewhere when the means of an other sort combination is desired. Leaders and contractors should operate and there should be square and consistent between the two of the interest of the business he be conscientious. Leaders are the link between the go-getter and the patron and should work in harmony with the contractor. This is one of many cases used by Deacon to show how difficult it is to get a workable leader. Whilst on the Creagh subject, it might not be amiss to remind leaders when making a trout for a job to take on the try out the same men they intend to use on the job. Information is that Gus tried out for a dancing school job recently, secured it but on attempting to start the job with other than the original lunch was rejected by the manager.

Studio: 880' St. Nicholas Ave Phone Broadhurst 6010 Aug. 30 It is popularly assumed that the average colored person who follows his fortunes North, is often seized with acute pangs of nostalgia for Dixie. Also that the mere mention of his native health is enough to bring tears to his eyes and start him crouching the blues about it. The colored entertainers, however, in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" can and do tell quite a different story. "The fact of the matter is," says Bill Robinson, the veteran stairdancer, "that the North has been pretty good to the colored folks migrating here from the South, and that most of them have little or no reason to regret the move from their birthplace to more宽大, wide-awake, progressive and prosperous cities. The particularly true of the colored entertainer whose earning capacity increases the farther he gets from Dixie. My idea of real loneliness would be to find myself separated from New York City." Aida Ward, the sweetest singer of the "Blackbirds," stresses a similar note. "I am expected to start off in a colored revue with a sentimental ballad called Dixie," says Miss Ward, "explaining how my heart hangs there while as a matter of facts it’s hope is here. I am not indifferent to the beauty of the Southern tradition, and this fits nicely into a song. But as a practical woman I know that there is a lot of holiness prevailing up here about the heritage of the South—as though it were everybody’s common property it is just a poetical idea for most people, and with many the sighing for Dixie is a mere gratious gesture. They never were there never expected to and when we got out well if they got there. Dixie breeds somnolent idealists but what future is there in being that? They have to come away and get to who they themselves if they want to be interesting and successful as sir. "Adolescute Hall, the dancer, is even more outspoken to scout the heavy tradition of the homelessness or the northern colored folk "Every sensible colored person up here likes the North because it gives him the breaks. The line of racial distinction is not so heavily drawn in the North, and whatever self-consciousness a colored person may have, or he is able to lose easily in the free and easy mass psychology of northern crowds. The colored entertainer does not want to be taken seriously. He wants to take it what he really is, a natural born funnaker. This continued friendly attitude on the part of New York audiences is largely amenable for our success in "Blacklocks." "There is a lot of joking about colored folks easily suffering from cold up North," adds Jim Moore, the ace comedian of the show, "and that even the interior of a furnace may not prove hot for them. Beer angle to that. Colored people have coasts and they're comfortable, thank you. As a fortunate member of the 'Blackbirds' wintering on Broadway, need I point out how we weather our nests?"

The projection delves deeply into the human side of married life, strips one woman of haughty pride, selfishness and foolish illusions and after tossing another into the dregs of despair, elevates her to the pinnacle of independence. Much of the action illustrates how much damage an unreasonable bias may do to an innocent victim. An unjust remark, coupled with coincidences serves to poison the mind of a husband and brings about an estrangement that results in intense suffering and despair. On Friday, January 18, the strong Tiger team swamped the Robins, by a score of 31 to 3. The absence of Elmo, star center of the Robins weakened their lineup considerable.

CLARKE Hampton Institute--The Tiger basketters of St Paul went down fighting to defeat before the dazzling passes and accurate shooting of the Blue and White basketters, in the Hampton Institute gymnasium, 45-18. The stinging victory over the Tigers gave Coach Wainhams' charges their fourth straight victory of the season Cotton, in forward, for Hampton set a dizzy pace for his adversaries when he rang up thirteen points to go down his history as the high point man of this particular affair Bob Cotton mixed in all the scrambles, executed spectacular passes, and made numbers of difficult field goals. No less glorious in victory was Cotton's teammate, Alexander. He too accounted for a goodly number of points. Coach Williams sent in his second best combination to start the game with St. Paul from Lawrenceville, and it was quite evident before the game was far spent that victory would be on the danger side of the balance, if the new men weren't sent in. The first half was half gone when St. Paul and Hampton's second best combination were seen playing at such figures as S-5, 7-9, 7-9, and 7-9. They made a final point and rolled four-point lead when the gun fired for the first half. Gray, St. Paul's dependable forward, and Wells, the Tiger captain, were the leaders of the attack that made things look mighty gloomy for the Seaadiers. Captain Cyrus Taylor and his first crew took the floor to begin the second half, after spending an interesting twenty minutes on the sidelines watching his tearmate fight. It was not long before the Alexander-Cotton-Hargrove Taylor-MeGowan combination was functioning with the ease of a newly adverised motor. Every part was designed to mount an ever-increasing score high and the While Hargrove, Captain Taylor and Alexander, were roaming around in the vicinity of the basket Country McGown, and we were putting the clams Tiger forward. In these guards allowed me to be made. Much credit is due to the quintet as they put up a fight, a fight which means before long.

BIRNIE Atlanta, GA. - The famous Mets house quitter ran wild for three day night, January 31, and in one of the fastest and most clever games of the season trampled Pleasant University by a score of 36-14. House got off with a fast start and the boys from Fisk were never in position to even the score. By fast clever passing the Mets house forwards found their way close to the basket, a point from where they very seldom fail to score. Oost was Fisk high point man but he found himself also to drop only three baskets during the first half. The half ended 11-24. What Coach Harvey told the Maroon quintet is not known, but the defense tightened so that Fisk was unable to make a single basket from the floor during the second half. Although the defense of Fisk was working better in the second half than it had in the first, the Maroon forwards found their way up the floor where with the aid of their tall center, N. Archer, they scored frequently. The Maroon team continues to be the smooth working clever team that has featured its playing throughout the season. Traylor and N. Archer led the attack with N. Archer led the attack with five basket each, while L. Archer followed with four. The passing of the Maroon team and their strong defense during the second half were the outstanding features of the game. Yost and Jones played well for Fisk, but were unable to work the ball within shooting distance. Morchouse-36 Morehouse--30 Traylor, Rf. 5 L. Archer, L. R 4 N.

C.—Howard celebrated resumption of Athletic relations with Virginia Union, Wednesday night, January 30, with a basketball victory of 40, 24. The game was played in the Howard Gymnasium. Union presented the same team over which Hampton nosed out the game, with a small margin of points, the team being playful at the Hampton court. The visitors were unable to show the first fifteen minutes figures, single point scored from the foul line, while Howard was running up a sub lead with field goals by Captain Woods and Harris follow with singles by Forsyth and Williams. Washington, Union guard, was finally put out of the game on a pair of fouls, slipping one through the floor, his feet being goal from the floor, his feet being goal by Howard. The score at the close of the first half was 19-6 in Howard's favor. The second half started off fast with Union scoring the first two points. Howard rallied in the spectacular work of Simpson and Wood, to increase the Bison lead to a safe margin, when Coach Burr sent in the second team. Union and the Howard Juniors played on fairly even terms with subs finding themselves adding Captain Woods and Simpson red for Howard, while Williams, Union forward, took high score honors with four field goals and three from the foul line, with a total score of eleven points.

As the sunset of a useful period, and to enjoy this he slowly freed from the storms of private porters to try to formulate some way by each other when this period of life why it there should be an association for it. Then again, there are cases that so the plight of some old porter is called while it is not always a case of down in which an organization as named for cheer. Several days since a porter came to town, Kober, poor fellow is in a bad poor one to pass a contribution paper (he will) to any needy case, but when S. around, I am no good." Now, Kober is a retired porter. He, like Company's yearly physical exercise thing. Ordinarily, the porter in force to the time he reaches 70, but the company physically unfit.

The need for such an association has been stressed in this column several times before, and it will be stressed here again, whether or not the members of this group see the wisdom of forming such an organization. There is no personal motive behind the writer's advocacy of such a body other than the desire to see such a body established among the porters, and the belief that it would prove just as helpful to them in some respects as the Pullman Porter's Beneficial Association has proven in other respects. For years before the advent of the present porters' association, the writer had seen porters get sick, die and pass out of memory without one cent of contribution, without one penny of death benefit, without one word of eulogy from the group of which they were a part. The need of correcting such an unbrotherly as well as deplorable condition, gave birth to the first Pullman Porter's Benefit Association. And while this fraternal handing of the group was a considerable improvement over the former situation, still it didn't prove to be entirely satisfactory. In the first place, it was only operative in cases of death, and then no stipulated amount was guaranteed the deceased beneficiary. In the second place, the mortality among the group caused grumbling, despite the fact that it was to take care of this that the body was formed. The majority began to rebel at the frequency with which they had to pay benefits, which were only fifty cents per death, but sometimes the amount of these would be as high as eight and ten during a month. This proportion out of a month's wages of $67 (that was approximately the wage per month of the average porter then) made a hole which assumed the size of a pit in the porter's monthly check. The old association was almost upon the reefs, when it was reorganized into the Pulman Porter's Benefit Association of America, which during the past year has paid out $21,280.91 in sick and death benefits and has an enrollment of more than 9,000 members. In addition to its beneficial features, it honors the memory of its deceased members by memorial exercises each year. But in spite of these improvements and in spite of how much this organization has accomplished and is accomplishing in a beneficial way, there are some phases in the life of the veteran and the retired, especially the retired, porter that it does not reach. One of the phases in particular it does not reach is the economic life of the porter when he is retired. As the sunset of a man's life should be his most peaceful period, and to enjoy this he should be protected, if not entirely freed from the storms of privation and want, it behooves the porters to try to formulate some way by which they can be of service to each other when this period of life comes. That is one of the reasons why it is maintained by this column that there should be an association for veteran and retired Pullman porters. Then again, there are cases that need help now. Every day or so the plight of some-old porter is called to the writer's attention. And while it is not always a case of downright need, yet every case is one in which an organization as named would be of inestimable help and cheer. Several days since a porter came to this reporter and said: "Say, Jimmie, Kober, poor fellow is in a bad way. He needs help, but I am a poor one to pass a contribution paper around. I'll give myself (and he will) to any needy cause, but when it comes to me passing the S.O.S. around, I am no good." Now, Kober is a retired porter. He was retired shortly after the Pullman Company's yearly physical examination became a compulsory thing. Ordinarily, the porter in fairly good health may work up to the time he reaches 70, but the company's doctors pronounced Kober physically unfit. The result was he was retired from the service, perhaps ten years before the regular retirement age. An association of veteran and retired porters could not have prevented that, but it could have been of service to the man now, if it existed, and he were a member. Of course, it is not to be expected that all the porters, or even one half, are going to interest themselves in the matter. Still, if the foresight of the other fraction of the ten thousand members of the group will function beyond their noses, then the association has a chance to become a reality. It is something that is needed and needed badly. "BIG DICK" GOES WEST "Big Dick" has made down his last beast, has taken his last trip West; he has Almighty intended him. Richard Hamilton Pettus was the stened, and for formal use that was a whim, he was just "Big Dick" Pettus. After two years of failing health, the only to be seen, was only a master of in Long Island City, on Friday, service in the Pullman Company's years he operated as a porter in the nine years he was custodian of theaters in Long Island City. "He has made down his last berth, has hung in his last trip West; he has finished the intended him. Hamilton Pettus was the name by and for formal use that was his title, but to was just "Big Dick" Pettus. Years of failing health, the latter part of seen, was only a master of time, "Big Dig Island City, on Friday, February 1, after the Pullman Company's employment, operated as a porter in the Penn. Terming he was custodian of the Penn. Terong Island City. Big Dick' has made down his last berth, has hung up his last curtain, has taken his last trip West; he has finished the task for which The Almighty intended him. Richard Hamilton Pettus was the name by which he was christened, and for formal use that was his title, but to everyone who knew him, he was just "Big Dick" Pettus. After two years of failing health, the latter part of which, it was plainly to be seen, was only a master of time, "Big Dick" died at his home in Long Island City, on Friday, February 1, after thirty-four years' service in the Pullman Company's employment. For twenty-five years he operated as a porter in the Penn. Terminal district; the last nine years he was custodian of the Penn. Terminal porters' quarters in Long Island City. Dick Pettus was one of those sons of Nature who occupied a niche in this world all his own. Call it—the vagary of birth; call it God; call whatever name you will, he was an exceptional character. Not the sort of character that would be of any note to the pedent, the artiste or the modernist. No, to any one of these three types, he never would have fitted in. "Big Dick's" mind, "Big Dick's" characteristics, Big Dick's" charity, were for those who thought, worked as he worked, and lived as he lived. His mind was always functioning along the lines of charity towards those who were ill and those who were in distress in the Pullman fraternity. This was so much a characteristic with him that it not to be a sort of tenet with him that all he wanted to know was the letter's name and address. If it was sickness, he was on the spot, and his presence was not merely that of visitor, but that, of one who says will unrely to the man who is ill, "what can I do for you?" If it was death, he knew what to do, and he did it. That was "Big Dick's" attitude towards life and the men among whom he worked. In a way, he was one of those Negroes who are passing out, not as Pullman porters, but as race lovers. "Big Dick" could easily have 'passed' for a Caucasian. And in addition to his color, he possessed a physique that helped to accentuate his white blood. Yet, he always resented any intimation that he should be other than of the race with which birth identified him. In paying his exceptional character its due, one admirer in culogism, his loyalty to his race and his birth place, wrote of him in this Tanner. He easily could have 'passed' and enjoyed whatever advantages he might be in being 'white', but that position never would have surprised him, he loved his race. Being a Negro was not a tragedy in the mind, it was an assetset." For his civic loyalty, this same friend had this to say. in the State of Georgia, the State never had a more loyal he resented every imputation or charge uttered or registered against that Commonwealth. He believed that Georgia was the garter spot of the world' for the Negro; yet he was fearless and outspoken in condemning the laxity of law enforcement and the injustice with the State practiced against members of the race." If this world of wrong decisions, wrong impressions, wrong interpretations, Nature provided a man like Dick Pettus as a guiding arm. Not a guiding post for the luxurious, the wealthy nor the speedy, but for the man who thinks as he did, acts as he did, and as he did—an unselfish life. PULLMAN "ALSIE MARTINS" The news that Alsie Martin, the little, unschooled Negro girl of all work had returned to the Allen house and her chores, brought to mind a submission made by an old porter during the tune there was so much publicity given the case. The porter was reading the acco and what was going to be done for all of a sudden he threw inside the himself of these remarks: "They willing to bet money that she wi than three weeks time. She'll b porters. They leave the service o are back looking for the job." Seemingly, he called the turn porters are concerned, your report so right there. These Pullman Al in Pullman circles. Last week the Grand Central Station. One of the the shoe business; one had tried to third had left to go in the trucki failure in business, drove each one learnt. It was simply noted that to the conclusion that the job is But, then, that is only human nati things we wish most. The porter was reading the account of how little Alsie was taken away and what was going to be done for her, and so forth, and so on, when all of a sudden he threw aside the paper he was reading and delivered himself of these remarks: "They can take that gal away, but I am willing to bet money that she will be back at 'missy' Allen" in less than three weeks time. She'll be just like some of these Pullman porters. They leave the service one month and the next month they are back looking for the job." Seemingly, he called the turn on little Alsie. And so far as the porters are concerned, your reporter doesn't know but what he isn't also right there. These Pullman Alsie Martinas are met with quite often in Pullman circles. Last week the writer saw three of them in the Grand Central Station. One of these had left the service and entered the shoe business; one had tried the bootblack stand business and the third had left to go in the trucking business. It may have been that failure in business, drove one back to the service; that was not learnt. It was simply noted that they were back. This leazes one to the conclusion that the job is only bad to the porter who has it. But, then, that is only human nature. The things we haven't are the things we wish most. 1 JOIN THE PROCESSION The editor of this column wish cession of congratulations that had Mrs. Andrew P.

Well, her prayer has been answered; she knows now. May the cozy little home with its sun porch and green blinds never be shaded again by anything more serious than one of Long Island's passing showers.

Cooperation Only Hope Editor of the New York Age Enclosed please find my check for $2 to pay for the renewal of my subscription to The New York Age. It is one of the best Negro wikites published and edited in America. I like it for its conservative editorial. I cannot do without it. It is always a source of inspiration to me. Our only hope is in cooperation along all lines and contributing our share making this country great. No race can make any permanent progress which lacks race pride and believes that it is inferior. The Negro divided and that is his greatest handicap. When he learns to stick together for the good of all, the problem will be solved. The reason why he has to suffer so many injustices is because he is not together and does not pool his resources where he can demand respect and justice WILLIAM H CARTER Valdosta Ga. Coolidge's Cabinet A little school girl from Englewood, N. J., writes the editor of The Age, inquiring the names of President Coolidge's present Cabinet. At the present time the Cabinet is composed of the following members Frank B. Kellogg, Secretary of State, Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, Wright E. Davis, Secretary of War, John E.

College 一 --- Stenography Typewriting Harlem 2287 More than 100 miles of toll cable containing 150 pallets of telephone wires will be placed in greater New York during 1929 by the New York Telephone Company to improve voice transmission and to provide the necessary equipment to meet demand for out-of-town telephone service. The work involves an investment of more than one million dollars. Eight separate cable placing projects are under way, the lengths of cable to be placed in the different cities are 214, 214, 214 and extending from downtown Manhattan to central offices at the extreme limits of the Bruns, Brooklyn and Queens. The largest single project is the placing of three cables, with a total length of 31 miles, between the New York Long Distance central office at 214, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Brooklyn and Jamaica. Almost equal in size is the project which includes the placing of three cables, two, twelve, and nine miles long respectively from the Long Distance central office to exchanges in the Bronx, and one five miles in length, from the Harlem exchange to the Kellogg exchange. From the Long Distance exchange to the East Side of Manhattan a cable five miles in length will be placed. Two cables with a combined length of 12% miles are to be placed between the Long Distance central office and exchanges in South Brooklyn between the Erie Basin and Coney Island. Another area of Brooklyn will be served with two cables between Walker street, Manhattan, and the Prospect and Platthush exchanges, the combined length of these cables will be 4% of the Manhattan end with cables diverted from the submarine cable crossing below Brooklyn Bridge which was recently removed to eliminate service hazards. For the Haveneyer and Flushing areas a cable 8½ miles in length will be placed between Long Distance and the Haveneyer exchanges. Approximately 4½ miles of cable will also be placed between the Melrose, Intervale, Underhill, Westchester and City Island exchanges while another 2½ miles of cable will provide long distance and toll circuits for the Melrose, Tremont, Fordham and Oliville exchanges. To further improve the transmission on these long circuits, loading pots containing the latest type of high grade leaded welding coils will be installed in manholes at regular intervals along the route of the cable. These coils, the invention of Professor Michael Pupin, reinvent the voice currents which are the life of the telephone system. Cable is already being delivered for the first cable job and telephone engineers estimate that the entire cable placing program will be completed before the end of the year.

THE NEW YORK AGE On Monday afternoon, January 28, the annual meeting of : the Brooklyn - Urban League - Jincogell Settlement, Inc., a social service organization - doing work among Negroes in Brooklyn, was held at its headquarters, 105 Fleet place. The following board members were re-elected to the general board: Mrs. William H. Baldwin, William H. Baldwin, W. C. Brown, S. Parkes Cadman, 'Edward S. Cunningham, Charles J. Dodd, Mrs Lewis W. Francis, Miss Anna Hawley, Mrs. Edwin F. Horne, Frank H. Gilbert, Mrs. Ernest P. Goodrich, William R. Granger, Mrs. Lottie A. Henderson, Miss Jensen, Dr. V. Lennont Jones Mrs. Thomas J. Lennont H. Proctor Mrs. Laura J. Ro lock, Mrs. Gilbert H. Thirkield Mias Anna B. Van Nort, Mrs. Francis A. Wilson, Mrs. Georgia 'Welmo, Mrs. Kenneth E. Walser and Henry Newman. E. H. Wilson was elected to fill a vacancy on the board. Roster of Officera A steering committee of the following persons was elected: Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Mrs. Lewis W. Francis, W. C. Brown, Henry Newmann, Miss Anna Hawley, and the following persons were elected as officers: William H. Baldwin, president; H. H. Proctor, vice president; Mrs. Gilbert H. Thirkield, vice president; Mrs. Edwin F. Horne, secretary; Francis A. Wilson, treasurer; Frank H. Gilbert, assistant treasurer. Robert J. Elzy, the executive secretary, made a report of the year's work. He emphasized particularly the industrial situation. Among the things he said were the following: "During the past two and a half years openings for more than 1700 persons were found. A study of Negro workers in Brooklyn industries throws an interesting light upon the economice life of Negroes in Brooklyn. To the first 500 firms in Brooklyn, questionnaires were sent asking for information on their experience with Negroes. 106 responded; 56 employ 1,551. The total number of employees in these 106 firms is 56.49. Thus the 1,551 employed workers constitute 2.7 per cent of the total employed by these firms. This figure. 2.7 per cent, constitutes a higher percentage than Negroes are to the total population of Brooklyn in 1920, the 31,912 Negroes were 1.5 per cent of the total population of 2,018, 356. However, if the present estimates which place the Negro population at 60,000 and the city's at 2,250,000 are correct, then Negroes are 2.6 per cent of the total. Distribution of Labor. These 1,551 workers were distributed as follows. Transportation 471 Department stores 118 Manufacturers of electrical goods 85 Tobacco manufacturers 76 Candy manufacturers 52 Manufacturers of chemicals 40 Food packers 38 Foundries 28 Knit goods manufacturers 26 Newspapers 23 **Miscellaneous 594 1,551 **This group includes paving, building, laundry, gas, light, medicines, clothing, paper goods, brushes, chewing gum, printers, etc. The answers, contained in the replies of the 50 firms failing to employ Negroes, led one to imagine that they would take on some if an approach were made in their behalf, but subsequent visits and conferences failed to apparently change the status quo. There was a willingness on the part of some to employ them at such a time as they are able to take on more men, but the depression of 1928 possibly prevented their doing so if they were really convinced. Plans of the industrial department include continued contacts with these firms until they do take on Negroes. The budget for the year of $26,000 was adopted. 32nd Anniversary Of The thirty-second anniversary of the White Rose Working Girls was held at the Beulah Wesleyan Memorial Church, Rev. H.
