JailSentenceForWhiteGeorgian WhoObjectedToNegroPoliceman Had Served More Than Quarter Century In Police Department, and Was Making Fine Record As Commandant of Busy Harlem Post Citizens of Harlem, and members of the Police Department particularly, were shocked and stunned Friday morning when the news circulated that Capt. John F. Archipoli, recently come to command the 16th Precinct Police Station at 250 West 135th street, had died early that morning at his home, 260 Jay street, Brooklyn. Capt. Archipoli, in leaving the station house Thursday night, appeared in his usual health, leaving his subordinates in his usual cheerful manner, and even making a reservation for attendance at an entertainment to be given by a social club to which one of the patrolmen is attached. The report is that he reached home about 11 o'clock and sat with his family listening to the radio returns of a prize fight put on the air from a stadium in Chicago. Later, he complained of pains near his heart and a neighborhood physician was called in. But death came first. MUNICIPAL CQURT BILL AGAIN GOES TO THE GOVERNOR Thrice Vetoed By Smith, Roosevelt Will Probably Not Sign It Autopsy on Saturday. Because there was no past history of ill health, it was necessary that an attorney should be performed. This was done on Saturday by Assistant Medical Examiner Scholars of Brooklyn at the Kings County Morgue. The autopsy showed that Capt. Archipoli was a sufferer from chronic heart trouble. The funeral services were held Tuesday, April 2, at 9:30 a.m., at the late residence, whence the funeral cortege proceeded to the Church of Holy St. James, on Jay street, where a high mass was celebrated at 10 o'clockcock. Interment will be in Holy Cross Cemetery. Residents of Harlem, including most of the colored policemen who served under the late Capt. Archipoli sent flowers. There were also large wreaths from Bill Robinson of "Blackbirds," Edwin Smalls of Smalls' Paradise and other Harlem citizens. The deceased officer was given full police honors, and the prosecution included the Honor Legion, Captains' Association and an escort of detectives and uniformed patrolmen. The 16th Precinct Police Station was represented at the funeral by a platoon of policemen and other individual members of the force from this station, including Sergeant Samuel J. Battle and Patrolman Louis Chisholm. Others from Harlem included Alderman Fred R. Moore, Inspector Ryan and Deputy Inspector Camille Pierce. All the high officials of the Police Department were present, including Commissioner Grover C. Whalman, Chief Inspector John O'Brien and Deputy Chief Inspector Edward P. Mulrooney. His Police Career. A detective during most of the twenty-five years he was on the force, Captain Archipeli ended his career as precinct commander of the busiest station house in the city. While his death was unexpected, he had been ailing, according to friends, ever since the murder of his brother-in-law, Detective Bernard Grattano, who was shot in a holdup in 1924 and to whom Archipeli was much attached Appointed to Force in 1903 Captain Archipoli was appointed to the force on October 16, 1903, and was eligible for retirement last year. He refused to retire, having made the last for promotion to a captain, and he was named last December with eight other men, by former Commissioner Warren in one of the last acts of his regime. He has been a lieutenant in Brooklyn before his appointment and transfer to the West 135th station. He was about forty-five years old. The captain was a colleague of Lieutenant Joseph Petrosio, who worked in Italy by the Mafia when he was trying to break up that organization, and in the New World by attacking it at the sea. For many years he served as a detective on the old Italian Navy and when that organization was established, he went into the U.S. military detective division. Ouleted Chinese Tongs. as an acting captain in the capital which Legrand Becker Albany, N.

If the bill becomes a law it will provide for three additional Municipal Court Justices, and will City opportunity to elect one of their number to the bench. This bill was thrice vetoed by ex-Governor Smith, and it is doubted that Governor Roosevelt will sign it. It was first introduced by ex-Assemblyman Pope B. Billups, and has been re-introduced and passed through the efforts of Assemblyman Grenthal the past three years. Democrats in the Assembly assailed the bill as a plan to create a sure-fire Republican judicial district. once led, that Archipoli achieved his greatest fame. He acted for years as arbiter between the warring Hip Sing and On Leong tong and, in 1925, when a terrific war threatened, he persuaded the chieftains to sign an eternal 'hop tung' or peace pact. For his work in quieting the trouble sector around Doyers, Pell and Mott streets the Chinese Merchants' Benevolent Association gave him a 'gold medal on October 14, 1925, at a dinner in the Chinese Delmonico's, 24 Pell street. Broke Up Dangerous Gangs On February 26, 1926, one of those sudden departmental shifts occurred which took Captain Archipol, then a lieutenant, out of the detective division, where he had served so long, into the 11th Inspection District in Brooklyn. The transfer as all transfers are, was "for the good of the service," one of those shifts which never are made known to those outside the department. While working with Petrosini, Captain Archipol broke up many dangerous Italian gangs and was considered one of the most able detectives in handling the baffling cases which arise in the "Little Italies" of Harlem and down-now New York. With the reorganization of the department under Commissioner Wood and the abolition of the "Italian Squad" he went in to straight work Won Praise In Harlem. While his life had been passed as a detective, he took hold of the busy West 135th Street station in a manner which won him praise [The West Forty-seventh Street Station handles more serious cases than the West 135th, but the vigorous life in Harlem brings in hundreds of cases every night and in the aggregate, the station handles more cases nearly any other. The captain was a linguist, having sixteen languages at his command. When former Commissioner Emnity went to Buenos Aires to attend the International Police Confrence Captain Archipelago accompanied them as interpreter. His knowledge of languages also aided greatly in the solution of trany cases involving foreign-born persons. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

J.—From 102 Jersey street, Harrison, to the Pennsylvania railroad depot in Market street, Newark, William Peter chased Andrew, Dominguez, spurred by the determination to reclaim his new Easter suit, hat and shoes, which had been donned by Dominguez with a view to their permanent acquirement. Dominguez boarded with Peter, both sleeping in the same bed. On the night of the foot race, both retired early, but Dominguez, waiting until his bed mate had fallen asleep, got up and proceeded to dress in Peter's new clothes. He might have made a getaway but for an ill-advised attempt to purloin also a $10 bill which Peter, for safekeeping, had pinned to his night shirt. Dominguez tried to seperate the bill from its fastenings by using a rater, but the act aroused Peter, and then the race was on. Leaving the home, Dominguez dashed over the Center street bridge across the Passaic River, south in Mulberry to Market and east the depot. Here Peter overtook his quarry, pinning him to the wall and then forcing him to strip himself of the suit, hat and shoes. And when Dominguez stood bare to the midnight winds, Peter called a policeman, who took the man to the police station. Later he was turned over to Harrison policemen, but he was not given any clothing until they had him in the Harrison police headquarters.

Y., SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1929 Forty-Three States Were Free From Lynchings During 1928, Says Annual Honor Roll Of Race Relations Body Of the forty-eight states comprising the Union, there were five in which lynchings totalling eleven occurred during 1928, with five in Mississippi; two in Texas; two in Louisiana; one in Missouri, and one in New Mexico, according to the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Councill of Churches ry, which will attend in a body. Many other civic and fraternal organizations will be well represented. The couple will be re-married by the Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church.

Forty-Three States Lynchings During Honor Roll Of R Eleven Mob Victims In Record—Report Sho Have Never Had a L Of the forty-eight sta there were five in which occurred during 1928, with Texas; two in Louisiana; in New Mexico, according Race Relations of the Fed of Christ in America. The Commission has announced its eighth annual honor roll of states free of lynchings during 1928, showing forty-three to have clean slates. Prompt measures taken by law officials prevented twenty-four attempted lynchings, three in northern and twenty-one in southern states. This record marks the country as having been free from lynchings than ever before, with a smaller number of mob victims than in any preceding year since records have been kept. The report states that "this is the largest number of states and the greatest territory of the nation ever free of lynchings." No Lynchings In 5 States It is shown that there are five states in which lynchings have never occurred—Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, with Maine and New Jersey showing clean records since 1886. Of the forty-three states on the honor roll Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee were restored this year. New Mexico, on the roll in 1927, was removed because of the lynching of a Mexican. The number of states enrolled is larger by two than has before been recorded. Detailed statement concerning lynching records, in the various states, that Delaware and Wisconsin have never free of lynchings for 25 years. Michigan, Nevada, Indiana and Iowa have had no lynchings in 20 years; and Idaho, Maryland, Pennsylvania and South Dakota show no mob crimes in fifteen years. GEORGIA CRACKER SCORNED COLORED COP, GETS 5 DAYS Is Told By Judge He Is In N. Y. Not Georgia And Gets Jail Term George Black, of 342 West Seventy-first Street, who comes from Georgia and can't abide dictation by a Negro, even though the latter be in police uniform, started to serve a five-day sentence last night because of his scruples. Black was arrested on complaint of Ernest Deaton, a taxicab driver, for failing to pay a charge of $2.90. Black told Magistrate Bushel in Night Court that he had plenty of money but that Deaton called a politician to arbitrate the dispute about the fare and the policeman was a Negro whose arbitration Mr. Black declined to accept. "How much money have you" "I won't tell you," said Mr. Black. "You are very impertinent," said Magistrate Bushel, "and let me tell you that you are in the City of New York and not in Georgia. We respect the police uniform here. You are fined $10 or five days in jail. Black's principles compelled him to take the five days Howard Teachers Get Salary Raise Washington, D.

This has been brought through efforts of the president, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, who has worked toward this end since taking office.

Becoming Lynchless Land Commenting on this record, Dr. George F. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on Race Relations, said "America is slowly becoming a lynchness land. The reduction in the number of lynchings last year and the increase by two states of the territory free of this blot upon our democracy demonstrate the increasing of public conscience upon those who would take the law into their own hands. "It now seems clear that public opinion should be focused more and more upon the few remaining states where lynching persists, and every encouragement and aid should be given to the law abiding citizens and public officials in those states that are struggling to make law and order supreme and to suppress the tendency to mob violence. "The number of lynchings prevented every year shows what can be done. We look to the newspapers, white and Negro to the churches and to civic and religious leaders and organizations in this territory, as well as in other parts of the nation, to help bring this to pass. America must be a lynchness land to meet the eyes of the world without shame." By JAMES H. HOGANS Despite its "number," its speakeasies and its "cubber," games to really see and feel the heart of Harlem, the seeker after truth about the Negro should come to this vicinity of black folks on Easter Sunday. The Son of The Living and only God may pass by the descendants of Hammer day in the calendar year without his presence being felt or regarded, but the day on which He conquered the grave is the day in which the souls of black folks are seen, regardless of what the patient Washington, the literary but unsophisticated DuBoises and the meek and lowly Moton's may say about them. Unlike New York's Anglo Saxon population, the day in which The Christ was risen is kept sacred in the black belt of Harlem from ten to twelve in the forenoon. After that the ebony community drifts back to modernism and Western ideas. Peculiarly, this desire to honor and praise the One and Only Conquerer of death must, according to the population, be done in a temple of worship. The fact that it might be done just as effectively and sincerely in the home, the street or the park doesn't seem to be appropriate nor fitting. So, Easter day, to the afternoon hour, finds the black belt of Harlem struggling to enter its various and numerous edifices of worship. All-Churches The Same As To Crowd This reporter started out at 10:30 on Sunday morning last to attend the festival services at his own church. Knowing from past experience that Easter Sunday brings every drifter, jetsam and flotsam to this church—for it represents most pointedly Negro endeavor, achievement and hopes—he thought this hour would merit him a seat. He opined wrong. At that hour this church, which is Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, Rev J. W. Brown pastor, was crowded to the overflowing point. An usher was asked what the seating capacity of the church? He said about 3,000. This reporter estimated that there were about 500 standing then, with persons continually pouring in like the subway rush during the morning and evening rush. Finding that there was no chance to enjoy the services at his own church, he conceived the idea of making a round of all the leading Negro churches in Harlem. The first impersonal church to be visited was the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Rev. A. C. Powell, pastor. This was at 10:35. Considering that the bulk of this congregation is composed mostly of the hard working class, one would consider the hour early. Yet, similar to Mother Zion it was also crowded to the overflow point. The usher who guarded the west end door was asked by this reporter what was the seating capacity of his edifice. He answered in the neighborhood of three thousand. That being seating capacity, there were two hundred persons standing. From there this reporter went, to St Mark's, one of the largest Negro congregations in Harlem. It was also to the overflowing point. Worshippers were standing all around the sides of the edifice. But this gathering didn't impress me, as that at Mother Zion and that at Abyssinian Church. Lack of Courtesy at St. James From St Mark's the next visit was to St. James Presbyterian Church, the Rev W Lloyd Imes, pastor. For unfamiliarity with the simple affairs of the church, the ushers at this church took first prize. Two were asked to the seating capacity of the edifice—explaining at the time that the questioner was from a local newspaper, the ushers didn't know. Neither had given that "matter any attention, furthermore, they hadn't time to find out." This was surprising treatment, for this reporter expected to encounter convincing intelligence at this particular church. The next visit was to Metropolitan Baptist Church, another of the large Negro churches. The same conditions prevailed here only standing room. The ushers here appeared to an advantage after contact with St James ushers. The attendant asked that he said we were positive to the seating capacity of the church but that he would see the head usher. This functionary informed the observer that it was four thousand. Had Recently Moved From Harlem To Home In The Bronx—Mother, Mrs. Lovie Garey, Prostrated By Anxiety, Fears Foul Play The pretty and popular Miss Adalaide Williams, 29 years old, well known among Harlem's young people, is being frantically sought for by friends and the police since her mysterious and unaccountable disappearance on the evening of Thursday, March 21, from her home at 3582 Fish avenue, The Bronx. Dr. Moton To Serve As Dunbar Bank Director Officers of the Dunbar National Bank, operated by John D. Rockefeller, jr., interests at Eighth avenue and 150th street, in the Paul Laurence Dunbar Garden Apartments, announce that Dr Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, has accepted their invitation to serve as a member of the bank's board of directors. Dr. Moton is the third color member to be placed on the Dumbar Board, others being Roscoe C. Bruce, manager of the Dunbar Apartments, and Alderman Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age. Quartet Held In Court On Policy Slips Charge Three men and a woman were held for hearing before Magistrate Dodge in Washington Heights Court Monday when arraigned on charges of possessing policy slips. The quartet were arrested by Detectives Dahlen and Pruschen of Inspector Ryan's staff. They gave their names as George Brooks, 7238 Eighth avenue; Christie Kiernan, 140 West 140th street; John O'Hara, 310 West 153rd street and Isabelle Osborne, 147 West 143rd street. Ned Bailey, 43, 381 Edgecombe avenue, was held without bail when arraigned before Magistrate Dodd in Washington Heights Court on a charge of felonious assault on George Jackson, 35, of 205 West 135th street, Sunday night. Jackson was found lying on the sidewalk at 103th street and Seventh avenue and was removed to Harlem Hospital where he was treated for abrasions of the head and body. Bailey, who gave his occupation as a waiter was arrested by Detectives Dunn and Burns of the West 135th street police station. The next visit was to Salem M. E. Church, Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor. The same condition met in the other churches prevailed here. Nothing but standing room. The next church to be entered was Mt. Olivet Baptist Temple, 120th street and Lenox avenue, Rev. William P Hayes, pastor. The ushers, who were neatly white gowned women, informed this correspondent that there were "no seats," but there were services in the basement of the church at which he might secure a seat. The One Edifice In Which Seats Were To Be Had Several blocks from this edifice, he came to the Reformed Church of Harlem. Here there was no crowd of people to be seen milling their way in and out. The exterior presented an antithetic appearance to what was met at the entrance of the other churches. On entering it, the writer found himself in a congregation of white worshippers. Here there were seats for twice as many as filled the capacious enclosure but to the discriminating eye, one could not help but note the difference prewaked. The heart of approach was church, in decoration at least that presented by Mother Zion's church. It was then 12:30. Harlem had memorialized the Risen; Saviur. Fifth avenue had its usual dress parade, but Harlem had its usual Easter worship. ADALAIDE WILLIAMS Left Home for short walk on March 21 and has not been seen since by mother or friends. With her mother, Mrs. Lovie Garey, Miss Williams moved to the recently acquired Bronx home last November, and since that time has been busy getting their abode comfortably fixed up. On the day of her disappearance, the young woman left her home about 7:30 p. m. to take a short walk, and that is the last time her mother has seen her. Mother Is Prostrated. Police officers were notified and requested to search for the missing girl, and in fear that she might have been forcibly abducted and held by some one, vacant houses in the neighborhood have been searched. The family and friends can ascribe no motive for a voluntary disappearance. The family is in comfortable circumstances, owning their own home, and the girl owned a big grey Packard car, in which she was constantly seen in and about Harlem. They formerly lived on Seventh avenue and 141st street. The mother, Mrs. Garey, is prostrated through anxiety and is now confined to bed under a physician's care. When she left home, Miss Williams wore a black and grey sport dress, grey stockings and shoes, a racoon coat and a black hat. Her only jewelry was a gold wrist watch. She is decidedly pretty, light brown-skin in color, with black hair and dark eyes, 5 feet 6 inches in height, and weighed 116 pounds. Fear Foul Play Fear that she has met with foul play is acutely entertained by her mother and friends. It is not known that she had any associations or contacts that might account for her disappearance, and a careful search has been and is being made throughout the section contiguous to her home on the chance that she may have been killed and the body hidden away in some out-of-the way spot, or which there are many in that sparsely settled neighborhood. The offering of a reward for news of her whereabouts if alive, or not let body if dead, is announced by her mother, and friends are planning an additional sum to augment the reward. Any information concerning her daughter can be sent Mrs. Garez at her home address. 3583 Fish avenue.

"I cannot but feel that in the last analysis every child stricken with this disease becomes the potential tragic focus for the mother and father and those to whom that child is dear. "I can never look upon a table of deaths or cases from diphtheria without having them somewhat metamorphosized into the trusting eyes of little children whose innocent chatter has ceased and whose little feet no longer run to the open arms of those who love them. Parents Have Knowledge "Unlike most communities, New York is made up of parents who have a wide range of health knowledge—all the way from the peasant superstitions of a European villager to the indifferent cynicism of the sophisticated worldling. "Fortunately we have examples that all can understand. The newly arrived immigrant, the established business man, the frivolous mother, can learn the lesson at a glance by turning to the record of land Denkirk, Geneva, Glowersville, Johnstown, Newburgh, Oneida, Sherrill and Tonawanda, nine cities by the use of toxin-an-titoxin. Must Immunize Child. "In order to successfully combat diphtheria in New York, it is necessary for us to immunize every child that reaches its first birthday There are, each year, in New York 125,000 babies who reach that first birthday. This new yearly population alone is equivalent to the whole population of Salt Lake City There are approximately 1,000 public school buildings in New York, housing a population under 10 years of age aggregating 555,000—a group equal to the whole population of Washington, D.C In addition there are 331 parochial schools with a population of 179,000 or more children Mual Protect Children. "All these children must be protected. And only their parents, in the final analysis—can see that this is done. "Beyond that there, must be a continued campaign—less intensified perhaps while still continue to make the city diphtheria-conscious. We must protect only to the mothers of children but must permeate high schools for girls, training schools for teachers—everywhere."

Promotion On Pennsylvania The general management of the Pennsylvania Railroad has outdistanced all of its neighbors in the matter of promoting cooks' and waiters, notwithstanding that New York Central has a "Negro stew-kitchen and travelling chef inspectors." Among the supervising, positions successfully administered by this team of employees are waiter-demonstrator in the service school at the Sunnyside compassary storeroom and waiters-in-charge of cafes. Chief cooks are highest rated and reach the maximum grade in the time required on and by other carriers. Additionally, their supervision is less restricted. And it is among these supervising employees that the bulk of the $9000 annual wage increase is spread as the majority group, waiters, get but $5 per month per capita in pay. So let not the public believe its so-called "tips" obligations have been reduced on account of the aggregate wage increases on Pennsylvania The nevertheless appreciated change were effected in keeping with the present policy of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees in steadily pressing forward for adjustments in wages structure and rules of cook-waiters within its jurisdiction.

Physical Hygiene Now In Howard Curriculum --- Washington, D.C.—A plan recently adopted by the Howard University Board of Trustees for the care of the health of its student body is in accord with the aim of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of the National Negro Health Week, the observance of which began April 1. All students will be required to submit to physical examination and pay a medical fee of two dollars. Every effort will be exerted to corroborate will be provided training that will not only be helpful to the students but through them to the several communities, which they go after graduation. A course in corrective gymnastics and corrective hygiene has recently been established in the Department of Physical Education. The department has made an analysis of the record secured in the examination of 1,118 college students, last fall, in which it was found, that 29 per cent of the men and 40 per cent of the women showed some form of physical defects. Many of these cases required individual attention of the instructor. Such corrective measures would demand a very much larger teaching staff, than at present, is available, however, by the availability of student instructors specializing in the new professional course in physical education. Closely associated with corrective gymnastics and corrective hydrogines is the increased emphatic placed upon diet by the Department of Home Economics. The work extends beyond students enrolled in that particular department to a consideration and treatment of students suffering from malnutrition and stomach troubles. An intensive course in dietetics is given by the department which qualifies its graduates not only as teachers but as dieticians. In the health program which Howard University is projecting it is providing training to a larger group of individuals in a proper appreciation of health problems and how to deal with them.

"Of all the chronic diseases, tuberculosis is the most, easily cured," said Dr. Jacobs, "despite the fact that there are no specific 'cures' for it in the form of medicine. The treatment is very simple, consisting of rest, regulated diet, and plenty of fresh air." Death Rate Declining Dr. Jacobs pointed out that the tuberculosis death rate of Negroes in the United States is 202 per 100,000, which is several times as high as that of the white group. Since 1911, however, the rate was decreased forty-four per cent and in the last few years has been declining faster than that of the whites. Mortality from this disease is much lower in the rural districts than in the cities. The early symptoms of the disease, according to Dr. Jacobs, are unnatural fatigue, loss of weight, impaired appetite, cough, and blood-streaked sputum. Body was warned to be on the lookout for such symptoms and to take immediate corrective steps when they appear. The lectures were attended by about sixty teachers, nurses, physicians, ministers, and social workers, representing the various schools and colleges and many of the social agencies of the city. "Harlem," Company No. 2. Leaves For The West A Chicago company of "Harlem," the play which is attracting considerable patronage at the Apollo Theatre, is announced by Edward A. Blatt, its producer. The second company will open for a three-week engagement at the L.A. Theatre, Detroit, on Sunday night, April 7, and then settle in the Solos, the Theatre, Chicago, for an indelinite run its cast is now in rehearsal under the direction of Chester Erskin, who staged the New York production. Considering the fact that "Harlem" has been running only four weeks, the formation of a second company at this early stage may be looked upon as an unprecedented theatrical procedure "Harlem" has attracted more than ordinary attention out of town, and the demands upon other critics have come from managers as far west as San Francisco. Thus a third company is a like-ly development, but not, says the producer, until a company for London and Paris has been completed. Negotiations for the latter are now under way Home Making Institute At Bennett College Greensboro, N.C.-The annual "Home Making Institute" to be held at Bennett College for Women the week of April 14 to 19, includes under direction of Misses Luda McCree and Dennis Kittrell, who have charge of the home economies departments at the college.

Among the two most outstanding who served the late Rev J. O Haves of Liberia, and Dr Fleming, a graduate of Estey, who gave her life in the Congo. Among the Shaw graduates in Africa today are Rev and Mrs W H. Thomas of Liberia; Dr C B Boome of the Congo, and Max Yergan of the Union of South Africa. Nearly a score of Shaw alumni have done service in Africa. Shaw lays claim to having sent more workers Africa since its foundation than any other Negro institution of learning.

Va.—A restrictive covenant calculated to prevent Negroes from owning lot in the Jones-Rau Addition, a Huntington sub-division, is being carried to the Supreme Court of Appeals by counsel for Lewis, and Cora White, after Judge Shepard, sitting in the Circuit Court of Huntington, had declared the covenant to be valid. The original suit was filed in February, 1928, by a white man, H. B. White, who had purchased a lot in the sub-division, and who sought to prevent E. B. and Ethel Honaker from selling a lot to Lewis and Cora White. The restricted covenant in question provides that the lots in this addition shall not be sold or rented to any person of Ethiopian descent for a period of fifty years. Interest Shown In Case Defense counsel set up in opposition to the injunction that the covenant is void and without force for the reason that it is contrary to law and public policy, and that the neighborhoods in which the property is located has become a Negro residential district. Immediately the decision of Judge Shepard upholding the covenant was handed down, the case was taken to the Supreme Court of Appeals, which granted the appeal and supersedeas asked for. This is the first time this issue has been raised in the Courts of West Virginia, and is being watched with keen interest throughout the state. The local N. A. A. C. P. H. D. D.

She declared that it the women of that race cannot be given their proper titles she herself preferred to have her name appear in the papers as "plain Clara Cox." This incident served as the basis for a discussion, which proved one of the most interesting and spirited of the whole meeting. The position taken by Miss Cox received general support on the part of both colofed and white delegates. Now, the use of the titles, Miss or Mrs., is often regarded as superfluous by the more advanced members of the sex today, and few of the members of the Lucy. Stone League would thank the newspaper or individual, that undertook to tack either onto their maiden monikers. But it is entirely different in the land where romance and chivalry are supposed to hold sway. The use of titles of respect in Southern newspapers, as a rule, is restricted to white men and women. True, a black man may be referred to as Reverend or Doctor or Professor, in print, but never as Mister. That would savor of what is pronounced as "social equality."

SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1929. THE OLD SOUTH LINGERS. That the Old South lingers superfluous in the path of progress was shown in an article written by one Pierre Crabites, described as a Louisiana Democrat, judge of the International Tribunal at Cairo, which appeared in the March number of the North American Review under the heading of "A White South or Black?" In its introduction the Review stated that Mr. Crabites "writes as a Southerner, a Democrat and a Catholic with profound concern for, the future of his native state in his native land in these days of new political revolutions," Candor, courage and sincerity are vouchered for as being evident in his opinions which might be true of the ravings of any egotist who writes in a similar vein. When a colored convention was held at Louisville, Ky., many years ago, the Courier-Journal, of which the famous Henry Watterson was then editor, referred to the individual speakers as Colonel, rather than use any other title in referring to them. As Mr. Watterson himself was usually spoken of as Colonel Watterson he probably thought he was aying a high compliment to the convention delegates. Miss Clara Cox has done a brave thing in taking issue with the prevailing practice of most white Southern newspapers in denying the common courtesy of a title to women because of their color. For instance, Mr. Crabites predicts bloodshed lf 1932 and similar elections unless some immediate and concerted action is taken by Southern whites to insure white supremacy and reduce the possibility of Negro rule. He pleads for white primaries in the South as the preventive. Otherwise he looks for a revival of the shot gun tactics practiced during the 'Reconstruction era. We quote Mr. Crabites' weird predictions as follows. WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS. The average man or woman who has accumulated a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars/is apt to grumble at the lack of opportunities to invest it, so as to bring in more than five or six per cent. To he sure, there are plenty of wildcat schemes promising marvelous returns, as did the late Twenty-percent Miller in Brooklyn or Mr. Ponzi in Boston. But the ultimate result of investment with both of these worthies was that the investor had to whistle for his money and take it out in whistling Theouth has never been betrothed to the Democratic party. It has long been wedded to the cause of White Supremacy. The Houston Convention refused to recognize these two salient facts. It received its answer on November 6, 1928. The staggering vote polled by Mr. Hoover throughout the eleven states of the old Confederacy fills me with concern I am not writing as a Democrat. That party, as such means comparatively little to me. I am not speaking as a Catholic, although I appreciate the force of the law my fellow chaperone has as a result of the religious strife awakened by the candidacy of Governor Smith. It is solely as a Southernner that I am raising my voice. Much literature is sent out to the suckers' lists, telling of the golden opportunities offered to repeat the profits made by the original stockholders in popular motor companies and in such great combinations as the steel industry and the telephone companies. But there does not appear to be much that is tangible in the manufacture of air planes or radio outfits. Of course, the successes that fall to manufacturers of popular motor cars may be repeated in other lines, but how to pick out the repeaters. Others urge the investment of one's savings in oil, as the supply is limited and the price is bound to go up, with the exhaustion of the present visible supply. But there is also an element of chance in picking out the company that is going to make the right kind of strike. There has been a break in the gold white phalanx of ten states which until 1928 had never wavered in their allegiance to Caucasian domination. The rent is as evident in the Commonwealth that voted for the New Yorker as it is in those that went for the Californian. It must be repaired. And this work should be undertaken at once. If conditions be left as they are, blood will flow, sooner or later. It will not be useful purpose to put the blame on the Irish for having defied the South. It will mean nothing to indict Simmons, Helfin and Co. for treason. The thing to do is to work for a remedy. And it is of primary importance to take cognizance of the gravity of the peril Lately Louisiana has been presenting a disgraceful spectacle as the result of Democratic misrule in the gubernatorial chair and in the legislature. The legislature has been seeking to impeach Governor Long on the charge of inciting to murder, among other specifications of misconduct. The lower house of the legislature had a most disorderly session last week, which culminated in a general outbreak of brawling in men in fastcuffs. One member had his skull laid open with a stick while the greatest confusion prevailed. It looks as if bloodshed broke out sooner than Mr. Crabits predicted So far as investing in proved and tried concerns that are on an earning basis, the investor finds that their prices in the present bull market are all too high to warrant an expectation of any higher return of interest than a savings bank would give on the amount he would have to invest in their purchase. To the average investor who does not indulge in speculation, the purchase of stocks on a margin, merely to sell them for a higher price, is too much like gambling. And then the margin required in this market is so great that he might as well buy outright and avoid interest charges. If this is the result of white supremacy in Louisiana, Mr. Crabites is welcome to it. Or may be, as judge of an international court in Egypt, Mr. Crabites can afford to regard the antics of his fellow Louisians at home with equanimity. However, if Mr. Crabites is in earnest, as vouched for the editor of the Review, he must weep for his native state and realize that white supremacy is indeed a thing to be feared. Like Crabites himself it has lingered too long in the way of progress. In this dilemma as to the proper kind of investment for his spare funds, over a certain amount that should be kept for emergencies in a savings account, the prudent investor might turn his attention to bank stocks. Bank earnings have been steadily on the increase in this section of the country and the shares of New York banks have greatly increased in value, until now they are quoted in the thousands for shares that have a par value of one hundred dollars. The shares of banks like these are seldom sold, except upon the partition of an estate, as they constitute a gold mine in the hands of the original holders. SMALL THINGS THAT COUNT. In last week's issue of The Age we printed a news article from Greensboro, N. C., which told of a happening of great significance. Although it seemed to be only one of those small things that are not of great importance in themselves, it proved to be so because of the implications that they not infrequently convey. It seems that when the reporters of the white newspapers asked for the first names of Negro delegates attending the woman's section of the State Interracial Committee, in session at that place, Miss Clara Cox, the white president of the section, declined to give the names. The only way for the new investor to get hold of an investment of this kind is to buy stock of a new bank that gives premise of a healthy growth and to grow up with the bank. Such an opportunity is offered in the allotment of a generous number of shares of the Dumur National Bank for the members of the cooperative community established in Harlem. There is every reason to believe that this institution is established upon a sound basis and that it is destined to achieve a financial success. The stock may be our The ground on which Miss Cox based her refusal was the remarkable thing about this incident. She hold the reporters that the newspapers should refer to chased on the installment plan. If more convenient for the purchaser. But; it should be regarded as an investment for future returns, to be held for the purpose of insuring the stability of the investment by supporting the institution. Here is an opportunity for investment knocking at the door of those who frequently complain that such opportunities do not come their way. PASSING OF A POLICEMAN. It was but a few weeks ago that The Lodge had occasion to quote with approval the testimony of Police Captain John Archipoli, the new commander of the West 135th Street Station, as to the lawful character of the Negro resident Harlem. Captain Archipoli had but recently entered upon the duties of his command, but his career of twenty-five years as a detective had fully qualified him as an expert on criminality. He therefore took a sane view of the conditions that confronted him in Harlem and gave promise of meeting them with an impartial mind and well equipped for an emergency. Dutring the three months of his brief encumency he won the praise of all those with whom he came in contact. The clients at large had confidence in his disposition and ability to give them the most efficient police service in the protection of their homes and the preservation of the public peace. The members of the three under his control, of whom nearly half were colored, felt assured of the ducking in the performance of their duties, with a fair deal for every man whoowed faithful to his trust. Captain Archipoli had expressed his opinion most favorably as to the capability of the No. two officers in handling people of the own race. The sudden removal of a commanding officer of this character by death came as a shock to all the residents of the district. As we said a few weeks ago, this prospect has been fortunate of late years in the character and personality of its commanding officer, and we looked to the incumbency of Captain Archipoli for a continuance of this desirable relationship his sudden taking away has left a variance which will be hard to fill. The manner of man who is put in charge of police precinct has much to do with determining the character of that section in a criminal or lawabiding district. Harlem is essentially lawabiding, but needs vigilance and sagacity on the part of the police to preserve those conditions. Captain Archipoli embodied in many respects the various qualities that go to take a successful commanding officer or busy a precinct as that comprised in the Harlem section. He had the wide experience and proper perspective that gave him the right view of its people and their needs. It is much to be regretted that his career was cut short before he had opportunity to demonstrate his capacity to handle the police situation in Harlem as it should be handled. It was but a few weeks ago that The Age had occasion to quote with approval the testimony of Police Captain John F. Archipoli, the new commander of the West 135th Street Station, as to the lawabiding character of the Negro residents of Harlem. Captain Archipoli had but recently entered upon the duties of his command, but his career of twenty-five years as a detective had fully qualified him as an expert on criminality. He therefore took a same view of the conditions that confronted him in Harlem and gave promise of meeting them with an impartial mind and well equipped for any emergency. During the three months of his brief incumbency he won the praise of all those with whom he came in contact. The citizens at large had confidence in his disposition and ability to give them the most efficient police service in the protection of their homes and the preservation of the public peace.

Complaints have been made of the facture of a few unsurprulous druggist substituting other ingredients than the drug called for in the compounding of descriptions. The druggist may not have the exact ingredient named. No physician, and either to avoid delapsing for it, or the loss of a dollar, so, if he sends the customer away, he must be the device of furnishing as per Complaints have been made of the practice of a few unsorrupulous druggists in substituting other ingredients than the drug called for in the compounding of prescriptions. The druggist may not not have the exact ingredient named by the physician, and either to avoid delay in sending for it, or the loss of a dollar or so, if he sends the customer away, he resorts to the device of furnishing as near its equivalent as his stock may afford. This may look like good business, for the druggist, but it is often a rjsky procedure for the patient, as the substitute employed may fail utterly to produce the effect that the physician intended One doctor told of a case of this character where he had ordered a certain drug, in order to produce a necessary reaction in his patient, and after the medicine had been administrated, it failed to bring about the desired result, with the patient growing weaker and on the verge of collapse. Growing alarmed at the failure of his medicine, in which he placed the fullest reliance, the physician took the prescription himself to a reliable pharmacist and had it filled. Returning promptly to his patient he administered the remedy and got the reaction he desired, and the invalid was set on the road to recovery. Needless to say, the doctor warned those in charge of his patient to be more careful in choosing a druggist. This is but one of a number of cases in which the substitution of inferior or alien remedies has had much to do with the failure of sick persons to respond to medical treatment. Not all doctors are as alert and painstaking as the physician quoted, and the reason for the failure of the patient to recover is not always laid to the proper source, the failure of the druggist to supply the drugs called for in the prescription. The case with which such a substitution may be effected and the difficulty for any one to discover it other than an alert physician or a trained less of the consequences to the patient, is often trifling with manslaughter, for the sake of a dollar or two of profit. One should be as careful in the choice of a druggist as in the selection of a physician. It is only through the faithful cooperation of the two combined that the medicines prescribed can be effective. THE AGE READERS' FORUM a new cook. A Negro woman was sent to take charge of the cooking, but was not accepted until she had shown the owners a large amount of references, and so talked to make them believe that she knew what she was well as the practical side in the art of cookers. Reluctantly she was given the position. Two weeks after she had been in charge of the kitchen, business began to pick up. And before the end of her first month as chief cook, the owners needed larger quarters. Mornings, noons and evenings, the place was jammed with people—all white, and write there spoke this. Negro cook and her various delicious dishes. Now the Chinaman gets no such advertisement as does the Negro, yet in walking or riding up or down Broadway or in many other busy sections of this city where people with money freely spend it, one can count many large, up-to-date and landmark places. And really they are doing a wonderful business. Knowing that there are those of my race who are able to conduct their business—and that as a group, we need to broaden our business mind, we need to know the Negro mind is "why, does the Negro continue to open restaurants and many other businesses where there is no money? Is it the lack of SENSE OR CENTS?" By this time we are sure that a number of business people in our race know that suitable places for business can be found and rented in any part of the City of New York. Also other cities of the North, and some parts of the South. Since is known to be a major part of the artinary art, we have beautiful girls and handsome men who know the art of table waiting, and if music is needed, we are also there—kindly permit me to ask again, that we meet that Negro in SENSE OF THE MOURN EXLEXANDER, SEXOURM ALEXANDER SEYMOUR New York City. Urban League Field Secretary on Question Personal Segregation At the Limwood Forum conducted under the auspices of the Christian Church, located on Limwood avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Field Secretary Jesse O. Thomas of the National Urban League was a recent speaker. The speaker will ask the speaker shall occupy not more than one hour in giving the main address. He is then given thirty minutes to answer questions, allowing two minutes for each answer, provoked by his address, any question the speaker may ask, question the speaker or comment otherwise on what he has said. The speakers subject on this occasion was "The Negro's Struggle to Become of Age." He said, among other things "In the imagination of a boy, a boy is either boy or an uncle, either under age or elderly. He can never arrive until he becomes a normal man. At conclusion of the address, a gentleman from bentucky arrows and asked permission to make some old friends to ask to asking the speaker a question. In his remarks he said, "I am from Kentucky and was principal of a school in that state for a number of years. I have a great number of colored people whom I think prolegs to know something about the Negro and what he wants. The Negro in Kentucky is in favor of segregation and the Jim crowers. Several years ago two men ran for office in my county, one ran on a ticket to oppose the Jim crowers, and the other in favor of continuing the Jim crow practice. I lined up with the latter and got my colored friends to join me in the campaign and we defeated the man who was opposed to segregation and the Jim crowers. The Negro is happier and more content in Kentucky, and I lived in Kentucky, wouldn't you be in favor of segregation and Jim crow cars?" Mr Thomas replied substantially as follows "I live a great deal farther South than Kentucky. I have a great many marts of the nation; therefore I have no geographical prejudice and with me segregation has no geographical significance. My attitude toward jim crow practice and segregation in Missouri is toward segregation and jim crow practice in Missouri, Mississippi in Canada. I am opposed to any prosecution, be it legislative or otherwise, that imposes limitations on the human family on the basis of a credential birth. Segregation in practice and a jim crow car in its operation confer upon the members of one group a status they do not earn by members of one group a status they do not earn by members of one group an upper tier at birth and the other inferior unto death. I am there fore supposed to segregation on a haka of race and the jim crow car practice either in Kentucky or also Know New York State New York State, as a unit, is the most valuable parcel of real estate in the country. It is worth about 32 billion dollars, and has chemist, makes the temptation too much for an unscrupulous compounder. The only safeguard against the danger of such substitutions is to deal with a first class druggist, whose character and reputation are a guarantee against such sharp practices.

What I have said so often will bear repeating; there is no one person so good but there is another as good. I have said that he should do more probably there were many in our Elks' lodges who could not see anybody but J. Finley the brothers and lodges have been sacrificed for gold. And now the smell of their supposed loyalty to the brothers who they took out to help and protect. Now, it is up to the lodges to begin to act in their own defense and make laws that will protect the lodges and place men in office, who are no bound to the laws their laws and outline the duties of the grand exalted ruler, as to what he can and cannot do. Heretofore his power- has been greater than a czar, which should not have been, as too much power works-destruction, which can readily affect the present condition of the lodge. Judge Henry of Philadelphia remarked at the last convention that J. Finley Wilson had the wheels of his supporters so well greeted that he tried to compete for rulership. Well, the lodges' money was working by the guidance of too much power invested in one man, who, no doubt, knew at the time it was his duty to speak to fear of losing his job. If that is the kind that has been holding office, it is about time the lodges all over the country got together and sorted out the weak and despaired office-loving statues, purporting to fear of losing their affair to assert their rights as representatives of brother Elks. Looking over the timber that we have to start the purification process, we see in Caper Holstein a sense of thought and action, his philanthropic feeling at heart to relieve his suffering brother, is well-fitted to bring the lodges up to that high standard which it were ordained, and to bring the graft edge out of the throes of adversity. J Finley Wilson, with that poor erial disease called "exotism" thought he was the only Moses to lead and that only for his own self. He also taught, so brothers, do your duty, and place someone fit to lead and that some one is Casper Holstein. R. H JOHNSON O.

CHAS H WILLIAMS, president At the executive meeting of the Loyal Republican Union held lyr- al evening, March 15, a resolution of enlistment was made, endor- ing the candidacy of M.

J SHAW, chairman CHAS H WILLIAMS, president SQUIRRE M BROWN, genecy Sense or Cents?-Which Editor of The New York Age Undoubtedly the Negro has more than any other group in his country, established his fame in the field of cookery. So well does the white American know the ability of the Negro as such, that a large illustration shows the Negro advertisements showing his various peeled foods can be seen daily by the roadside, and in many of the public conveyances throughout this country. How many times have we seen the smiling face of Aunt Jemima, and samples of her tempting Plantation desserts, and what has it meant to most of us? Seemingly, very little. Mr. H. L. Mencken, the celebrated critic, has placed the Negro in a class above all other races when it comes to preparing tasteful eatables. And he has not the only one who has been understood that the real "Dow Home Southern Cooking" just can't be beat. A few months ago, a restaurant located in the downtown section of this city, owned by two white ladies, was falling. The owners having unergone much expense to buy a new kitchen, so they placed questionnaires on each table which stated that they were willing to correct any fault of theirs in order to satisfy every customer, and asked that each one would state their disapproval regarding the savage, in writing, about the food information blanks were out, those who came in for meals claimed that the food was poor, prepared Thaoupon the proprietors sought --- The Easter number of the Zion Quilt, a parish journal of good tildings, edited by the Rev. Frederick Clarence Van Buren, pastor of St Luke's A, M. E. Zion Church, Buffalo, contained the following exhortation to whistlers: The fellow who knows how to whistle, is a beastor or mankind, just queer up your hips and whistle. Any time will do, or no tune at all—just whistle. Whistle the anger and bitterness from your heart. Whistle hope. Whistle cheer. Whistle ideals about you. Have you ever heard an unhappy man whistle? Have you ever heard a discouraged man whistle? You never did, because unhappiness, anger and discouragement, and other unpleasant and ugly things must be dealt with the first breath of a gentle whistle. Sq be game and whistle. When you feel failure in your bones—whistle. At the moment you start to scold—whistle. Before you begin to burden anyone with your troubles, whistle keep your mouth calm and always take time. Whistling is contagious. As soon as your whistle starts the other fellow's is apt to begin. Whistle with your lips and whistle with your heart. Whistle out and whistle up. Whistling makes the big things possible, it makes folk happier and the world run smoother. That advice may be good for the whistler, but it not given to every individual to whistle melodiously. Some varieties of whistling are pretty hard on the listeners. According to the St. Luke Herald there is too much bigamy among Negroes due mostly to ignorance and stupidity. It said. There are some things that we must correct in our own groups at home, church, school, and state. Every Negro man and woman should know that only one wife and one husband at a time can be allowed in the same man and woman, should know that there is a penalty of three to five years in the jail and penitentiary for the violation of this legislation. In spite of this far and wide opportunity to know and do better, we have thousands of cases in which Negro men are given terms of long years because they violate this well known law. Not until a divorce is granted should a deserted spouse or husband seek legal matrimony with another partner. There is not only trouble for one man, but for the other innocent partner must suffer the disgrace and inconveniences of these lawless unions This state or affairs is attributed largely to the conditions of migration from the South to other sections of the country. Nevertheless warning it is given to those who contract new unions without securing legal separation from former matrimonial partners. The Cincinnati Union published a letter, ostensibly written by a young doctor in Washington, out of school but a few years and wondering where to locate to practice medicine. He was discouraged because he had prescribed for a friend, who died in two days. The editor advised him as follows "Faint heart never won tair lady" Brace up. Probably your medicine did not kill your friend, but a few deaths should not stop a doctor. You need experience. Somebody must suffer in order that you acquire it. Remember, you are a soldier in a army, and you will have to kill a few many, you will have to kill a few Broce up. You have a better excuse or homicide than the thousands we sent "Over There" some to slaughter and some to sleep in "No Man's Land" Brace up Settle in to dress yourself and dress your Dress quietly and tastefully. Throw out your chest. Never hesitate in diagnosing a case. If you don't know what it is, and the chances are you won't, look mysterious, write out the prescription in Latin and have a regular druggist—he will not betray your commission, but will not betray your commission, and are safe in prescribing Salts. Stop the patient from eating any heavy food and bread to, two days. If the case is very serious in another doctor, If not visit every day. Keep up and dose of salts Stop food in. If not, the patient will be better. Then you can tell how you saved his life. Give him a Latin name for the disease. Editor Dabney stressed the necessity for the young practitioner to look important as he feels the pulse and takes the temperature of a new patient. He also hinted that it would not be bad to be friendly with an undertaker. Under the heading of "Seaside Segregation" the Pittsburgh Courthouse increased ten billions in value since 1925. There are printed in New York city 24 foreign language newspapers in 22 different No city in the world has such large and varied foreign groups in its population. Lockport, N. Y., is the birthplace of house-heating from a central in 1877 Bridid Hall, of Lockport, transmitted from home with stream transmitted from outside through an underground pipe. There are in the United States 22 million electric and 15 million company customers. The single state has about three million of each, more than any other state. In 1871 the "Society for Protection Against Horse Thieves" was organized at Bellouge, Va. to protect horses from thieves. The society is still in existence and holds a yearly banquet. Saturday, April 6, 1929 discussed a recent development at a popular New Jersey resort, as follows: It seems as though some of the Negroes of Atlantic City are trying to establish a very bad precedent in that popular resort town. With practically a segregated public school, some of the Negroes started agitation for a owned bathhouse, "supplying shower baths, dressing rooms, etc., and which will have a cafeteria. The building is to be rented to a Negro at a nominal fee and open to everyone. Those who care to go to the inconvenient place may do so and may carry on as in the out." Obviously this is a pleasant way of using the city administration to build a jim crow bathhouse. Strange to say, many of the leading Negroes seem to be in favor of this segregated structure for various reasons such as the need to come to the beach a place to do menial suits and dress after their plumage; to bring about better race relations and thus make possible the return of more Negroes as employed to the beach hotels, and enabling some Negro who formerly worked in the business by economic conditions to get back into business. Strange to say, the most vigorous opponents of the proposition are white people. Certainly accommodations are needed for the Negroes who go in large numbers, but is it a wise policy to ask the local government to establish segregated facilities? For the last four or five decades Negroes have been trying to do away with segregated public places in the North East and hundreds of dozens of slave workers fighting the evil, and yet at this late date many Negroes are asking for the very thing they have pretended to be fighting. The Courier suggested that there ought to be enough money among the ten thousand or more Negroes in Atlantic City to build a bathhouse for the accommodation of their brethren. Recording the distressing situation of greater dearth of employment for Negroes in Chicago today than ever before in its history the Chicago Bee said: Several months ago Loop rest restaurants and lunch room replaced all of their colored employees. Since that time many of the big furniture houses, grocery stores, tailor shops, hotels, and many other mercantile establishments have followed suit. The women being placed or retained in domestic service as cooks, maids, butlers, gardeners, chauffeurs. are The public garages and oil stations are not employing colored help Thousands upon thousands of colored people are out of employment Hundreds of aasant houses and all of the ill-health employment and the disintegration of many homes. A serious situation confronts the race in Chicago Many conjectures and reasons have been advanced as to why this condition exists. Some claim that the American Legion is at the best of its powers, with thousands of white ex-soldiers out of work. Others claim they see it in the hand of the Ku Klux Klan trying to drive the Negroes back south, so they can make of it as a way to maintain their position as have New York City. Still others claim it is the hand-work of the white south side property owners organizations seeking to drive Negroes from the boulevards and to prevent invasion of their so-called white districts. The Bee is defined to ascribe the economic pressure to political causes by saying "Most of our difficulties of employment come to us as a result of slapping our best friends the employing classes, in the fact, lending our aid to prepate a deprived city administration." Favoring the suggestion that new minor offenders might be paid on the instalment plan, as a means of reducing the jail population the Norfolk Journal and Guide, that seems to be a bright suggestion. Why not pay court money on time? We purchase practical everything under the sun on payments, and certainly it is not seen amiss to permit a new inmate to pay. But the suggestion is by no means new in fact, persons familiar with the rural South know of man inances in which the country imprisons permits those whom he has fired to bring the money he has earned to the prison and large that system as it has been practiced in the South has resulted in awful abuses. In fact it has laid at the bottom of the whole prison system. Nevertheless, there has been plenty of instances in which the offender purposely and not voluntarily considered Jails are practically a dead end upon the taxpayers. Even when, any, penal institutions are self-supporting. Should the fines offended be allowed to pay his fine until he is released from the lockup, the city or State would stand a chance of getting the money while at the same time it would not have the expense of caring for the prisoner. Moreover, the offenders remaining at his disposal would be offenders and oftimes, the case of his dependents. Of course, it could be expected that a small percentage of those fines would default and amputate. But probably an amputation, but which default it impairs, is commercial credit relations, and with the man using a court fine there would be the manage of going to jail, which certainly the commercial debt does not have to fear. Provided such a method was put used to increase the practice of prosecution there would be more reason to give it a trial. نام پروژه: CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Grace Church of Harlem A beautiful Sunday filled Grace Church to its capacity with numbers and friends, who came out to hear Dr. A.

The missionary services held Sunday, March 25 were served by the Refuge Church of Christ conducted the services. The Church of Christ Bible Institute held regular classes in their class room in English and Church history. Sunday, March 26 evangelistic services occupied the greater portion of the evening. The Junior Church of the Refuge Church of Christ had an interesting program. After the program, Tilder Manning, a student of the Church of Christ Bible Institute, preached from the Paslams of David. His theme was "May Should Praise The Lord." Pastor Lawson taught public Bible class on the evening of Thursday, March 28. Questions pertaining to the Scripture were asked and answered. A spirit of praise and joy tiled the hearts of all who really know God in the power of resurrection and to add more to the joys of Good Friday, members fasted until the sixth hour. Pastor Lawson's sermon of the evening of March 29 beautifully portrayed the Saviour as a healer. Many were prayed for, for the healing of the sick. The Lord's watch hour on Saturday began at midnight and continued until 6 o'clock. Six glorious hours of intercessory and prayer. Easter chimes were sung in the outdoors in front of the church by the church who attended the all-night service. A large crowd of strangers and visitors were in the auditorium Sunday morning to hear Pastor Lawson's Easter message. The text of the message was the theme of the pastor's discourse note "The Resurrection of Jesus Christ" He pictured the beauties of nature in the flowers that bloomed about Joseph's new tomb when the crucified Lord was laid, and also how, on the day of his death, Mary Magdalene sought the Master before the break of day to put spice wine on the body of the Lord that had been beaten and marred before the horrid crucifixion but when she approached the sepulchre the stone was broken and Mary told the disciples, then all came to the sepulchre and found not the Body of Christ Later she was comforted by the Risen Saviour by this question, "Woman, whom seeketh thou," and she declared the pastor, Jesus is asking every unbeliever "Whom seekest, thou?" Pastor, Lawson narrated how some years ago he was stricken with consumption of the lungs and the tide of his life was slowly cobbling away, but he was sought him and found him, filled him with his Holy Spirit and added years of enjoyment to his life. The marvelous work of an invisible God. One was haptened after the sermon. St. James Pres. Church Laster, 1929, was filled with high and wonderful events at the James, beginning with sunrise prayer care, then led by Dr. Deamus and Deaconess. The Church school met to regular session at 9.30 a.m. and held classes, and prepared for the pageant to be given at 4 p.m in the church in the huge auditorium available for hundreds, were turned awake, while many stood throughout the service. The music, specially prepared by the director, Dr Melville Charlton included the guest soloists Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, Mrs. Caroline Martin, Benjamin Tin violinist, and Miss Oliver Miller, harpist, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Flournoy Miller The church soloists, Miss Doris Ragdale, soprano, and Benjamin Ragdale, baritone, also rendered numbers. A sextet of chair ladies, Miss Carrie Carter, Miss Mildred Blum, Miss Sallie Snow, Miss Cora Heggie, Mrs Sue Ella Carr sang the beautiful Tschakowk "Legend," a capella, and the audience recalled that this same group had before song "Three Marvs" from Cole Fadder's "Mountain" in a precipitant the pastor Rev Wm. Floyd limes, gave a children's sermon "The Easter Feast," and the general sermon, "With the Unleavened Bread," based on 1 Corinthians 5.8. The emphasis was upon a simple, truthful life in Christ, without the vain pump and pretense which often mars our Easter thinking. The clo- sing appeal of the sermon is expressed in the memorable fandan- ture, Counter Cullers' Shroud of Color. "Bright glad I was to stare at what I once had spurred glad even unto tears," I traced aloud. I learned. audience, formerly Upon the hill, and through the tears for joy would run. My sight as clear; I looked and saw the rising sun! At the Thursday evening service of Holy Week a large class of new commissions received fellow ship into the church as observers. The choir sang Stainer's "Office of the Holy Communion in E." WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH The Easter Sunday evening musicale was easily the largest musicale ever held in the church, and a remarkable tribute to the fine and a remarkable place that music now holds in the life of the church. The pastor announced that the church would tender to Charlton, director of music at testimonial and dinner on the evening of April 15, 1929, and reservations for the same should be sent to the church office, 409 West 141st street not later than April 12, to assure names printed on list for dinner. The recent evangelical campaign of Visitation of Homes was most successful, and the preliminary report by Miss Elosee Mitchell, fellowship student in St. James, shows how hospitable thirty persons brought into the life of the church, with additions coming steadily. The yearly additions to the church have averaged 150 for the past four years. The present membership is nearly 1400. Bethel A. M. E. Church The Easter services at Bethel were attended by such a large number of people on Saturday morning that impulse of overcrowding persons had to be turned away.

Church Last Sunday was a gala day at Williams Institutional C. M. E. Church. The pastor, Dr. Prentis A, Bryson, preached a masterly sermon to a record crowd for an Easter service. The church was beautifully decorated and flowers had hid the pulpit and altar. The minister a writer section of W. Arthur Calhoun, presented the evening program, and with every member of the choir in his place, the soulful notes of Easter music swelled to the satisfaction and inspiration of a crowded evening gabbering. The exercises of the Sunday school at 3 p. m., the Missionary Society at 5 p. m., and the Ewporth League at 6.30 p. m., were of exceptional merits. Bryson preaches next Sunday morning the subject, "Mastaken power, and in the evening Holy Communion will be observed with the pastor as celebrant.

The church auditorium and lower floor will be appropriate for the purpose for the public is invited to come prepared for a surprise each evening Emannel A. M. E. Church Sunday was indeed a glorious day at Emanuel. Not in the history of the church has there been so large a crowd attending any one service. Standing room was at a premium in the main auditorium, and a crowd overflow service in the lecture room. The day was begun with services at 5 a.m. at which time the pastor, Rev D Ward Nichols, preached from the subject of "The Risen Lord." The large crowd which filled the auditorium was indeed impatient, and three persons joined the church. At the eleven o'clock hour, the Rev L Ruffin Nichols, presiding elder of the Georgetown District, Palmetto, South Carolina Conference, was the speaker. He delivered one of the greatest messages of the poet that Dr. Nichols has been in active service for fifty-six years he is still a young man when he delivers his message. He held the audience completely spell bound. At the overflow service the ceremony was delivered by the Rev R. E. Jones, a meeting was also filled with the spirit. The Church school rendered its Easter program at three noon. The parents and friends of the children filled the auditorium, and listened to the philippean singers renged by the committee. Prizes were awarded to the honor students who were present every Sunday during the quarter. Easter packages were given to the children of the Primary and Intermediate Department. At the regular evening hour the chair, under direction of Herbert Allen, rendered excerpts from the oratoria "St Paul," with other numbers appropriate for the occasion. The program was indeed spanned. The offering for the da was $32.50. On next Sunday, Dr. L. R. Nichols will again be the speaker, and Holy Communion will be served. The service is cordially invited to be present. St. Cyprian's Chapel Laster Sunday services were well attended at St Cyprusan's Chapel, and our vicar, Rev John Wesley Johnson, was well pleased. The altar was profusely decorated with lites donated by the different members in memory of them. The service was attended by the remainder of church building was decorated with flowers of every description. Just after the morning service the funeral of Mrs Richardson, a member of our choir, who on Palm Sunday rendered a solo at the morning service, was held. On April 7 at the evening service at 8 p.m. the teachers and children of St Cyprusan's Church attended Miss Lee will render a dramatic presentation of the Resurrection of our Lord in the form of an Easter pageant, entitled "Peace He Unto You." Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Easter Sunday was a beautiful day and M. Olivet Baptist Church was filled to overflowing. Many people went away because of the crowd. Every one realized it was spring by the display of the Easter bonnets and gowns in the congregations, the twirling of the ceremonies heard during the services completed the picturesque atmosphere. The day was begun with a prayer meeting service lasting from 5:30 to 8:15 a.m. At 8:15 a.m. Easter play, "The Resurrection," was presented by the Girl's Culture Club, assisted by some of the Young Men's Progressive before 11 o'clock the auditorium was full. The pastor Rev W P Haves preached from John 9, 20 lessons and mottoes. Then because they had not memorized hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed. He spoke of how Thomas doubted the Resurrection, and the absentee at the time of an epoch making event suffers many penalties and disadvantages while risking the loss of satisfaction and joy of experience. He mentioned two classes of doubters, one whose mind is open and the other whose mind is closed, judged by a hopeless case. He also explained the advantages of faith—even that of every day like, such as in trains; which might wreck, and in banks whose directors are perfect strangers to us. He then quoted that aged question, "If a man die, shall he live again?" He reminded us of the fact that faith in Jesus implies faith in resurrection. He concluded by quoting the words the resurrection and the lie: the believeth in me shall never die." Twenty people joined the church at this service. At the evening service, the King David Consistency, No. 3, was the guest. The pastor's word was chosen from Samuel 22-31: As for God His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried. He is a buckler to all them that trust in Him." There was an interesting Easter service rendered. The male member of the chair formed a male chocush and rendered a selection. The harmony and tenditions were excellent. A contralto solo by Mrs. Haynes was also excellently rendered. A small boy's skill on the violin was appreciated by the admiring audience. The Easter music by the choir was greatly enjoyed. Collections for the day amounted to $1,112.10. Of this amount $33.40 was given by the Consistency, and $28.50 in the special Easter offering.

Abene Brown, who prescheduled or wrote the music, and delivered an inspiring message on 2 Corinthians 5:17 The day closed with this service, and, though one was about tired out, we look back upon that day as the greatest Easter in the history of the church. We met the friend of St. Paul, on hand with beautiful illites, a contribution, and a cheerful word to pastor and people. The regular flowers were given by Sister Babock, and they were beautiful illites. We will thank the people for his Easter offering next Sunday, at whits time it will be known just what they gave him.

Y. P. U. Words of Words about Life Unending" "False pretenders" was the theme of the message which Rev. Stanley brought to the congregation at the evening hour. He spoke of the power which your power may use upon trying to destroy you or yours, but which will not harm you, light and power shine it will deflect all of the powers of the enemy.

The church was indeed fortunate in fay THE ing secured the service of a well competent assistant Rev. Dr. Maximo Duty, assistant Rev. Johnson in administering the Holy Communion at both the o'clock and the morning service. This church represents a ruin of 1909, invable in Harvest, and the holy word is a religion of the present day—worldly, practical faith. It is praised to speak this morning to those who are in the church from a sense of need, to those who are discouraged and dissatisfied, to those who call their mortal lives the 'I' commanded the 'Master' word as found in the text: 'Sons of the resurrection.' "Unfortunately, there are some who feel sufficient unto themselves there is no need felt by them for either counsel or encouragement. For them we can only feel sorry for their failure, for the lack of the Easter has two aspects—the Easter of history and the Easter of today. The Easter of history was the story of an empty tomb, an sent body, a Risen Lord. The Resurrection is a mystery, but now the less valid because of its mysteries. There are mysteries; all around us. We cannot explain the laws of nature, the laws of God, except them. But the true Christian does not accept the Resurrection; he cherishes it and prays that the Lord of the Resurrection will accept him. The full meaning of Easter comes from the christian Resurrection of the Lord. It is the christian's promise of immortality. Some of this is expressed in Some of the christian's promise of forgiveness of contradiction of contradiction with which Jesus greeted those akin to Him in Spirit. "But the Easter of today is concerned with the here and the now. It is the Easter with which we realize our present relation to our God. We are able to overcome the evil that partakes of the Reparction of the Burrowing. The aim of life is to establish a personality and an individuality. A good life is the only type that can establish a permanent personality. In conclusion, may your Easter be an aid to you out of the mock and more of self, one that will make you better and more able to follow the teachings of our Lord and Master. Easter flowers upon the altar were given by Mrs. Kate L. Bemer, Son of Lord, Mrs. Helen Molder, Miss and Mrs. Hosey, Miss Elnatha Josephs, Samuel W. Patterson, Mrs. Angeline Way and Mrs. Powell.

"In the unique personality of fillment of the dream of the divine to be human and the dream of the human to be divine. In this life there were gathered up the maxim of the Greek to know myself the Roman to control thy self; to whither to go and the Christian to sacrifice myself Putting these three greatest maxim of the world in the glowing fire of love, there came out the white light of the perfect life. Glowing with the double immortal spirit and of universal influence, he inspired and priceless heritage of Easter Day." At the evening hour the Sunday school Easter concert, under charge of Thomas J.

The Morehouse boys all but slaughtered Kany in the seventh inning, gathering four hits and three runs.

Molsey, hard hitting second baseman, contributed greatly to the defeat of Atlanta University as he drove out two triples, a double and a single George Kelsey, new pitcher for the Maroon team, proved to be quite apt with his fast ball, which he controlled with great amount of accuracy, as he fanned twelve bases.

He was followed closely by Wiggins, also made it two.

Working Philosophy The Blackbirds comprising Lew Leslie's colored revue at the Elfinge Theatre, have a working philosophy, it is the joy of work. They exert themselves to their level best to enhance their performance rather than the prospect of gain but rather because they love the joy and excitement of thus expressing themselves Indeed, the Ethiopian's mature feeling for harmony and rhythm is so distinctively a part of their entertaining, that the giving of pleasure to others may well be said to be more characteristic of them than of most stage performers. Their playing purpose is deeper seated in their emotions and carries with it the conviction of a natural, joy-giving gesture. All the stars, Bill Robinson, Aida Ward, Adelade Hall, Johnmy Hudgins and Tim Moore are so particularly in love with their work that they are all ways originating something new for it, practising to make it smoother. Thus they are keenly interested, too in the reactions of their audiences, especially in the case of the individual who evidences unusual pleasure in the way of loud laughs at their performance. About such a person, they say, they are apt to circulate and direct their most hilarious energies. The Blackbirds principals all have experience of which they were never food. Thus Tim Moore never tree of the fruit of the graveyard scene and of the poker skit. Adelade Hall loves her Diga Diga Do number best. Aida Ward is especially triumphant to render the grand song but I can't Give You Anything I Love Baby, and so on. The Blackbirds too share a common enthusiasm and united purpose in putting the show over. No production carries more principals than this colored revue yet harmony is as well sustained in their working relations as it is in their concerted singing. The result of the 'Blackbirds' working philosophy is that they 'variably effect a scintillating and finished performance the over-mulating spectacle of people in love with their occupation'. In its entirety the revival presents some of the aspects of a work of art—a brilliant, flashing, colorful pageant, alive with laughter. That is why so many people see it repeatedly, and why the tame of Lew Leslie's colored show is a booster of the term.

Lenox Club Revue At The Lincoln This Week The new management of the Lincoln Theatre is giving its patrons a real Easter present this week by presenting one of the finest musical comedy revues that has graced the local stage in several seasons. Although it is called "The Lenox Club Revue," the show is, in reality, a bit of the Lenox Club Revue, a bit of the Cotton Club Revue, augmented by some of the finest comedy and dancing which it has been our pleasure to see. This revue has been staged by a newcomer in the ranks of colored producers—Louis Coles, and this reviewer predicts freely that Coles has a splendid future ahead of him as a producer, not only in Harlem but on Broadway Employing an unusual talented cast. Coles has created a revue, which, for side splitting comedy, snappy dancing and sheer beauty remains unsurpassed amongst the musical comedy offerings which Harlem has seen in months. Its cast includes Sam Manning the noted producer and West Indian comedian, Maude Russell, one of the stars of "Keep Shufflin'", and the Cotton Club Revue; Louis Coles, the producer of the Lenox Club Revue, Issy Ringgold, noted dancer and singer; Lena Wilson, one of the finest known of our Blues singers and comedians, Lawrence and Lawrence, a new but exceptionally fine dancing team: the Dixie Trio, Dot Bell, Gwen Possey and a chorus of 12 dancing beauties M. & S.

ETHEL R. R. DAY. TEACHER OF SINGING I'S West 74th St. N. Y. City Tralagal 1069 ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS BY FERGIVAL OUTRAM After all the newspaper writeup of publicity, the musicians' pa- tition failed to materialize. This was supposed to consist of staffing the joint position of surrogate advent of the movie theatre, and was scheduled to start from East 80th street off Third avenue, then to 57th street to the headquarters of Local 802. A delegation, led by the Musicians' Mutual Association, from Eight 86th district, of whose members are members of Local 802. M. M. P. U. is not affiliated with the A F of L. as is Local 802. Anyway, it is said that M. M. P. U. failed to get a permit, hence no parade. That day, though, at Local 802 a rather large meeting was held, and among other things discussed was the burning employment question. The question was passed to effect a nomination to be referred with the governing board of Local 802 in an effort to cope with the unemployment situation. At a special election held on April 2, between the hours of 10 a.m and 10 p.m. ten musicians of the 52 nominated will be elected to confer as stated These ten men, from the ranks, do so speak, might have some ideas unthought of by this local's authorities, Mr Weber, or the numerous other Federation officials, but it is hardly possible to think the form of a workable idea on the situation will be developed with the assistance of these ten men. Don't forget that a theatre tax is removed and has been assessed for a long time on all musicians working in the pit. It is claimed this amounts to over $1,000,000, and the use of this money is solely for the use of fighting the situation. As if to launch dehance and further flaunt the unemployed musician, science is about to propel an older projectile at his defenseless head Arthur Hammerstein, next gall, it not earlier will produce the first orchestralest show" Jerome Kern is writing the music and negotiations are being made for a joint Loopold Stokewski Philadelphia Orchestra to "can" the music and use it to place on the usual interest of twenty-piece orchestra hired for a musical show. Talk about a crisis with the theater in labor unions? Could just integrate it more quickly. Advertised to appear at the L.A. layette Theatre the week of April 1 was "Swing Mong," produced by Wall Vodervy and Will Marion Cook Music for the show was billed to be played by Will Marion Cook's Orchestra and Vocal Chorus, which naturally implied that WINIFRED WATSON Soprano and ANDREW W.

KEEPS his WORLD OPEN WHEN HE SHANES! THAT'S FUNNY ONE! A WONDER WHY! Mr. Cook would conduct the orchestra. Will Marion Cook's ability as a musician and conductor is widely recognized. But apparently Mr. Cook is not now carrying a Local 802 card. Some busybody officially called the attention of Local 802 to the matter and an official from the union was instructed to see that a union director directed the union musicians playing the show. Thus it was that, Mr. Vodery himself took theaton and directed the show to the exclusion of Mr. Cook. It seems strange that either Mr. Modery or Mr. Cook, being well acquainted with union requirements, would jeopardize the musicians, or think that the situation would escape the Hawkskaw musicians who frequent the Lafayette and its neighborhood. The Douglass Theatre is again making a change. Jesse Young and Paris; one the leader violinist and the other the cornet player, are due to close their engagement the end of this week Jesse received his notice in such a casual manner he was surprised at its confirmation, but was again confused, thinking the notice applied to the whole orchestra and that the Vitaphone was his successor Jesse has been at the Douglass for nearly two years, but has never been allowed the full privileges of a "leader" in its union sense. May he be he tried to work too fast, as only a few weeks had elapsed when he first assumed leadership, and Jesse tried unsuccessfully to dispose of a player. It looks as though the Douglass is really going to refrain from the use of the "Sound Pictures" and might reinstall vaudeville in the programs. A Jersey violinist has been engaged to take Jesse's place We beg to acknowledge with thanks two tickets and the curriculum of the Spiller School of Music for a demonstration to be given at Public School 136 on Thursday evening, April 11, under auspices of the North Harlem Community Center.

THE NEW YORK DISTRICT'S "WAGE HOPE" With the preliminaries over, the porters in the eight Pullman zones have begun this week their run-off election of candidates who will represent them at the wage and working conditions conference, which will be held shortly in Chicago with the Pullman management. Laterally, this is the business that will engage their attention for the next two or three weeks. Figuratively speaking, it will be selecting the "wage hopes" who will battle for them at the forthcoming in dustrial bout. In fact, the coming bout—if a phrase from the bally-hoo memoirs of the late Tex Ritchard may be used—might be termed the porters' wage battle of the century. For the past two weeks each district in the eight zones has been holding a primary election for the naming of candidates. The press election is a sort of elimination affair. The men elected at this voting will be the candidates in the final election. These may be to the number of 74, but only 24 of this number will be elected, and their selection will be by the vote of all the districts. Most of the successful candidates will be from the larger districts. During the recent primary election, the writer asked a New York center who is in the "know all"—who did he think his district would send to the conference? "Tom Griffin," he replied. "But," said the writer, "I understand that 'I don't believe that he is,' replied the忠 of ma is the one best bet in this difference in the proceedings of these conferences considerable study to the industrial quest our group. Third, he has operated in service. Fourth, and most important, he set of every porter in the district. For formal man for us to send. I know that he came out else, but under the circumstance. On course, it is not definitely known by the "wage hope" of his district. But he will be he. Even those porters who are results of the coming meeting have no representative. And, to be fair, they shall For the last fifteen or more years, Terry the betterment of his group. It may one the same, but it may also be said thearded. Not in the way, of course, some believe, because no porter who is proven a clean bill of health by all the men's mercies or not. Perhaps Griffin, too, would have lost his had he entertained ambitions to be a man this he has never done. Whatever a need has been of an unpersonal nature, with his quiet, unassuming and uncommon recent conversation with a clerian, it seems, feels that he has done it to himself so as to enjoy some time. Both he and his wife have been stealthy, and their circumstances are such not, said this friend. However, it appears that Griffin's fellows him to gratify this desire, not yet, and as one of the "wage hopes" to the faith which is placed in his honesty. In the porters succeed in electing a man of their representatives of the Griffin there may not prove as disappointing, think they will. Anyway, it is left to sort of champions they send. As the New York district will send its best. and the writer, "I understand Griffin isn't kidding believe that he is," replied the veteran, "but is the one best bet in this district. First, in the proceedings of these conferences. Second, in the study to the industrial question, especially Third, he has operated in every branch of earth, and most important, he has the confidant porter in the district. For these reasons, he is to send. I know that he would rather use, but under the circumstance she must be, it is not definitely known at this time the hope" of his district. But it is dollars to last fifteen or more years, Tom Griffin has increment of his group. It may be said that, but it may also be said that some of the porter because no porter who is promoted from the bill of health by all the members in his do not Griffin, too, would have lost taste among his entertained ambitions to be anything other than never done. Whatever ambitions he has of an unpersonal nature, and those that are quiet, unassuming and unselfish disposed recent conversation with a close acquaintance seems, feels that he has done his bit, and himself so as to enjoy some of the fruits he and his wife have been steady workers, sheir circumstances are such now that they can be friend. It appears that Griffin's fellow workers are gratify this desire, not yet, anyway. His use of the "wage hopes" to the coming bout of which is placed in his honesty porters succeed in electing a majority (it is representatives of the Griffin type, the result not prove as disappointing as some of the will. Anyway, it is left to the porters the champions they send. As is quite proper district will send its best. "But," said the writer, "I understand Griffin isn't keen on going." "I don't believe that he is," replied the veteran, "but it is just like this or is the one best bet in this district. First, he has had experience in the proceedings of these conferences. Second, he has given considerable study to the industrial question, especially as it applies to our group. Third, he has operated in every branch of the Pullman service. Fourth, and most important, he has the confidence and respect of every porter in the district. For these reasons, he is the logical man nor us to send. I know that he would rather have us elect some one else, but under the circumstance she must be the man." On course, it is not definitely known at this time that Griffin will be the "wage hope" of his district. But it is dollars to pennies that it will be he. Even those porters who are pessimistic regarding the results of the coming meeting have no fault to find with him as a representative. And, to be fair, they shouldn't. For the last fifteen or more years, Tom Griffin has been working for the betterment of his group. It may be said that others have done the same, but it may also be said that some of these have been awarded. Not in the way, of course, some of the porters would have one believe, because no porter who is promoted from the ranks is ever given a clean bill of health by all the members in his district; whether he inserts it or not. Perhaps Griffin, too, would have lost taste among his fellows, workers had he entertained ambitions to be anything other than a porter. But this he has never done. Whatever ambitions he may have cherished have been of an impersonal nature, and those that were in harmony with his quiet, unassuming and unselfish disposition. From recent conversation with a close acquaintance of his, the veteran, it seems, feels that he has done his bit, and wants to have time to himself so as to enjoy some of the fruits of his years on toil. Both he and his wife have been steady workers, she in a business way, and their circumstances are such now that they can indulge that wish, said this friend. However, it appears that Griffin's fellow workers are not going to know him to gratify this desire, not yet, anyway. His unsought selection as one of the "wage hopes" to the coming bout is a barometer at the truth which is placed in his honesty. If the porters succeed in electing a majority (it is useless to say a lot of their representatives of the Griffin type, the results of the conference may not prove as disappointing as some of the group seem to think they will. Anyway, it is left to the porters themselves as to what sort of champions they send. As is quite proper and sensible, the New York district will send its best.

But there is some Biblical passage that for some reason or another we fail to appreciate. And yet that passage is obviously and patiently brought to our attention every day in every way. My memory fails me just now to the exact words, but they run somewhat like this: "To him what more shall be added." I can across a porter recently, who is somewhere in neighborhood or 50 years old. I asked him what did he think of this pension association that was being started among the porters? "I don't approve of it," he answered because I don't Let the company put a a specific case of how one porter feels about it alone in his reasonings. He, like others, employment long enough to know that no railwaying as many workers as the Pullman Co. so generous as give each pensioned worker will be amply sufficient for his needs, unless something himself.

It was a specific case of how one porter feels about the matter, but he is not alone in his reasonings. He, like others, has been in Pullman employment long enough to know that no railroad nor corporation employing as many workers as the Pullman Company is ever likely to get so generous as give each pensioned worker an old-age allowance that will be amply sufficient for his needs, unless that worker contributes something himself. Even the railroad conductors, who are the best paid and best pensioned employees in the railway services, have a side pension fund which they maintained in their Brotherhood organization. The trainmen have the same. It is highly speculative, but says for instance, that the Pullman Company made the pension to the retired porter thirty dollars per month, instead of the present amount of $18.50—would that sum be adequate for the porter's need when his working days were over? Not hard. Then, again, doesn't it appear more likely that for the porters to get more pension, even with rasse of wages from time to time, they would have to show some inclination to helpthemselves? As a matter of fact, corporations are like individuals in some things, the man who doesn't try to help himself is left to himself. On the other hand, the man who has, usually succeeds in having more added to that which he are ready has. But why take up time and space. If the brother will not take it to the Bible: Heavens only knows what he will take it from.

Long Makes Plea, For The Negro At Large White Church East Orange, N. J.—The pastor and congregation of the Calvary Baptist Church, East Orange, N. J., Rev C. M. Long minister, were the guests of the Brick Church Presbyterian congregation. Rev Gordon minister, at their mid-week service on Tuesday evening, March 12th, 1929. This meeting was one of a series of inter-racial meetings being held at the church and was especially significant for several reasons. First, this marks the beginning of a new kind of gathering of the two groups. There have been times before when Negro ministers have exchanged pulpits with their white brothers in the ministry, but on this occasion the whole Negro congregation was invited to worship with the members of the Presbyterian church. Then too the subject for discussion, 'The Aspirations of the Negro,' a subject which Rev Gordon paracularly asked for, shows that our white friends are more than passively interested in us. They have to know about thinking Negroes what they really want and are striving for. And along this line Rev Long stressed the Negroes' plea for a chance to live, and breath, and work and thereby be happy, rather than a plea for charity and favors. An enjoyable feature on the program was the singing by the joint choirs of Calvary Church consisting of 40 voices They rendered several beautiful spirituals and were well received and greatly appreciated. Miss Isabelle Anderson gave as a solo "Bye and Bye". At the request of Dr Gordon, Mr Davis, chorister, sang a solo "Sut Down". Assisting on the program was Miss Pocahontas Foster who talked briefly on the gifts of Negroes to American life and civilization Dr J F Glaceachta a native of Abyssina who is in this country to continue his education, spoke on conditions in Africa. In conclusion Dr Gordon expressed deep appreciation for the entire service and offered to hold a similar meeting at Calvary church at some future time Newark Prepares For Meeting of Doctors Nassau, N.J. - The local committee of arrangements which is making preparations for the meeting of the National Medical Association in Newark, August 25 to 30, 1929, as active in arranging details of the convention.

Church, a large substantial brick and reinforced concrete structure built at a cost of $4,500. The property was sold under foreclosure of a mortgage for $2,500, when mortgages refused an extension of time asked for by Bishop S. L. Greene, of North Little Rock, Ark., U. S. A., while he was holding the Jamaica annual conference in this church February 16 to 19. Plea To Dr. Hawkins Fails According to the Rev. Alfonso Dumas, presiding elder, Bishop Greene sent a cablegram, costing $30, making an urgent plea to Dr. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary, A, M E, Church, Washington, D. C., for the advancing of sufficient funds to save the church building from foreclosure sale, but, after more than a month, no reply had been received to the appeal which was backed up by a strong personal utter. Temple is the principal church on the island, and at the annual conference in February, Bishop Greene ordained eight native ministers, and there were eighteen ministers in the sessions. Slam On Denomination Commenting on the sale of the church property, Presiding Elder Dumas said: "This is an awful slam on our denomination in this island. Are the loyal people in America so cold that they will not help Bishop Greene to redeem our principal church in this British colony? Bishop Greene is in position to enlighten the world on what wonderful strides our church has made here in the short space of fifteen years. "On this point, I do not desire to comment, as I am the founder of African Methodism in the Island of Jamaica, B. W. I. Bishop Greene, visits several parts of Jamaica and holds a real annual conference with eighteen ministers in it. So he is in a position to inform the people of the United States first-hand of what the Church of Allen stands for. My prayer is that all of Allen's sons and daughters write and send a contribution to Bishop Greene, North Little Rock, Ark, and help him redeem the church."

His title was "The Negro Worker". Mr. Randolph stressed the significance of the Brotherhood to the Negro worker in particular and the labor movement in general, recounting entrance of the porters' union into the American Federation of Labor.

Entry blanks from both boys and girls are coming in; and from all indications over 160 children will compete for the medals and prizes which will be awarded.

The following donations were received: Pettit & Reed, 15 dozen eggs; the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., 30 dozen; Mrs. R. H. Taylor, 2 dozen; Mrs. Epps, 2 dozen; and Mrs. Bertha Grant 7 dozen. The committee in charge of the Utopia Neighborhood Club's Unique Flashlight for Library 26 is working overtime to assure the public of its moneys worth at this affair. Several hundred announcements have been addressed: Beauty of "Blackbirds" Revue Is Joy Forever Beauty of "Blackbirds" Revue Is Joy Forever The poet's saying that a thing of beauty is a jyfy forever, is well illustrated in the case of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds"-the ever popular colored revue at the Elfinge Theatre, now considerably past its 400th performance. While snap, speed and fun have been characteristics of this show, inseparably associated with it in the public mind, the audience but that the beauty of "Blackbirds" is largely at the base of its consistent and undimmed drawing power. The revue is an artistically attractive production. Individual features are outstanding in this regard. The talk of the town has been of the remarkably beautiful adaptation of the play, "Porgay," with its vivid, breathtaking background of shadows. There is nothing more stirring or compelling in the theatre than the climax of this number, and largely because it has been done with such artistic consciousness Another superb feature of the entertainment is the new operatic version of the marvelous song hit, "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," a gay and wistful inspiration of the producer, Lew Leslie, that stands out as a vibrant picture of life and color, couched in the sentimental traditions of the Negro race Real, living, personal beauty has its place, too, in the show with such fetching protagonists as Adelaide Hall, Aida Ward and the "Blackbirds" beauty chorus of young girls with gala energy radiating from their flashing faces and neatly developed bodies. Over and above this, is the undiminished sparkle of the show, carefully maintained to a high standard of quality by constant refurbishment of scenery, properties and outfits. In the last analysis, however, the aesthetic feature that makes the "Blackbirds" personal joy that it is, is the solvent native witchery of the revival, the genius of the colored race for rhythm and haunting melody and gay abandon. This is a gentle, thisusive charm as clearing as the capture of Spring, and as endearing as the warm sunshine itself. Please have your news items in by Tuesday morning of each week.

J.-Three are dead and two are in the hospital as a result of a shooting spree engaged in by a temporarily crazed man James E. Bell, 35, Negro, of Murray street, recently of Alexandra, Va., ran amuck at after Julius Rabnowitz called at his home to engage Mrs. Bell for work. Rabnowitz was directed to the Bell apartment by those living on the first floor of the house. He rang the bell and was greeted by a volley from the revolver or Bell. Bel lten rushed out of his house niring answer shot into Rabnowitz killing him instantly. In the street Bell saw a next-neighbor house raise his window shade. He fired his shot at the man. The only thing saving him from being killed was the long range. The man, William Bahrs, 47, a postal clerk, was taken to the hospital With a shotgun in one hand and a revolver in another Bell ran down the street and fired three shots from the revolver killing Charles Ramsberger who was on his way to work. By this time Policeman Thomas J. Hackett who was no traffic duty appeared on the scene and before he could fire, Bell had been shot by the revolver. Turning his gun on himself, Bell then fired, wounding himself so seriously that he died later in the hospital. According to friends, Bell had recently been brooding, saying that he complained of hearing ringing sounds in his head. Weak and Nervous MRS. S. Overton, of 1403 Thirteenth Ave. South, Nashville, Tenn., writes: "About a year ago, I had a nervous breakdown. I had been very much worried, and this caused me to be extremely nervous, so that I did not sleep well at night. I would wake in the morning feeling worn and hagged. "I cannot say that I suffered so much pain—just weak, tired and run-down. I read so much about Cardul and how it helped other ladies, I decided to try it, as I was getting out of heart, and I rested better at night, so felt better in day time. I kept on taking Cardul until I felt well and strong. Cardul did wonders for me." For sale, by all drupees CARDUI Helps Women to Health KC-12 Phone Bradhurst 2531 The Dunbar Radio Engineering Co.
