First Scholarship Medicine Is Granted Miss Myra Logan At New York Homeopathic Medical College
Created By Dr. Walter G. Crump, Distinguished Surgeon, Who Set Aside Income From $10,000 As A Perpetual Scholarship Fund
The first award of a scholarship created by Dr. Walter Gray Crump for a four years' course of study at the New York Homeopathic Medical College and Flower Hospital has been made to Miss Myra Logan, twenty-one year old daughter of Warren Logan, former vice-principal and treasurer of Tuskegee Institute.
In establishing this scholarship, Dr. Crump has set a precedent, as it is the first of its kind in this country granted by a medical college, and a further precedent is set in the naming of a young woman as the recipient.
To Specialize in Psychiatrix.
Miss Logan took her A. B. degree at Atlanta University, and her master's degree in psychology from Columbia University in 1928. It was while doing her graduate work at Columbia that she became interested in psychiatry, and it is this branch of medicine in which she will specialize. It is noted that the present-day courts are emphasizing the importance of psychiatry in solving crime problems, and Miss Logan is of the opinion that she will be of vital aid to the race by entering this field of endeavor.
Miss Logan is a sister-in-law to Dr E. P. Roberts of 130 West 100th street, where she makes her home. Since taking her master's degree, she has been engaged in Y W. C. A. work at Hartford, Conn, which position she is, resigning front to take up her medical studies. Dr. Roberts, who was a commissioner of educations of New York City under the Mayor John Purroy Mitchell administration, graduated from the New York Homeopathic Medical College and Flower Hospital, class of 1894, and holds the degrees of master of arts and doctor of laws from Lincoln University, of which school he is also a trustee.
One of Country's Eminent Surgeons.
Dr Walter Gray Crump, donor of the scholarship is one of the country's eminent surgeons and is credited with having rendered more sympathetic cooperation in the last thirty years to the Negro medical profession than any other white physician in New York or elsewhere. He also has been active in the advancement of Negro welfare and education.
This interest is directly attributable to the surgeon's father, Samuel Crump, who was an active abolitionist and maintained one of the first underground railway stations by means of which a goodly number of slaves obtained freedom in the North. The elder Crump spoke from lecture platforms with Susan B. Anthony in the efforts to secure woman's rights.
"The Negro is at least one-tenth of the country's population," said Dr Crump in giving reasons why he established the scholarship "Every year from 4,000 to 4,500 white students are graduated from medical colleges, while there are less than one hundred colored students receiving diplomas. I believe a larger number of colored men and women should be turned out.
"There are only a few Negro women physicians, and for this reason I was inclined to make the first recipient of the scholarship a female. It is becoming increasingly difficult for men of the race to enter our medical colleges, their economic condition proving to be one of the chief deterrents. I am hoping what I have done will be an incentive to others to establish scholarships in various medical schools throughout the country." Dr. Crump is professor of surgery at the Homeopathic Medical College and Flower Hospital, consulting surgeon at the New York Orthalmu Hospital, New York. Yankers Homeopathic and Maternal Hospital, Tarrytown Hospital, South Side Hospital, Bay Shore, L.A., and consulting gynecologist of the Jamaica Hospital, United Hospital Port Chester and Mount Verde Hospital.
Is Trustee of Howard University
He is a trustee of Howard University, a member of the Board of Directors of Vincent Sanatorium, and the last four years has held special clinics at the University's Memorial Hospital Institute, Alabama, in with annual pilgrimages each year. Motion, principal of the Institute; Dr. Walter Miller; and Dr. E. P. Robbins have named trustees of the fund which will be kept in
Chester Jones Is New Rochelle's 1st Negro Policeman
New Rochelle, N. Y.-At the meeting of the Police Commissioners here last Thursday night, Chester Jones, a Negro, who stood near the top of the list, was appointed to the police force of this city. It is the first time a person of color has been appointed a policeman in New Rochelle. Committing on its appointment, "The Standard Star," local daily, wrote
"The idea of having a colored policeman in New Rochelle will cause comment purely because it is something new to us. In New York City they have many colored policemen and the appointment of a colored policemen there excites no more comment than does the appointment of a white man to the force. If you went over the New York Police records you would find some of the most brilliant chapters. on valor written about the names of colored policemen Some of them have died in the performance of their duty, exhibiting a heroism never excelled by any of their white brothers."
W. VA. SOLONS
GIVE $625,000 TO
NEGRO COLLEGE
State College Gets Its
Largest Budget From
State Legislature
Institute, W. Va.—The West Virginia Legislature has pased a budget bill which carried in it appropriations amounting to $625,000 for the West Virginia State College This is the largest sum the legislature has ever given the college for a single biennial period. The distribution of the amount is as follows For salaries of officers, teachers and employees, $280,000; For current general expenses, $105,000; For repairs and improvements, $70,000 For vocational training building, $120,000; For campus and grounds improvement, $15,000; For general expenses (subject to collections and not to exceed the amount) $15,000. Early in the session of the legislature the name of the institution was changed from the West Virginia Collegiate Institute to West Virginia State College Provision was made in the law changing the name to enlarge the scope of the work of the college so as to include graduate and professional work.
President John W Davis has announced an approach to the study of improving vocational opportunities for Negroes through training which breaks from traditional methods of so-called trade or industrial training. A vocational training building will be erected for this purpose. Plans have been completed for the publication of a Journal of Negro Education and the inclusion of the high school in the Department of Education to provide proper teaching training facilities for the Department of Education.
The budget allowance for the college makes provision for new teachers, who will relieve present faculty members of burdensome teaching programs

TRAFFIC LIGHTS NOW ON MADISON AND 5th AVENUES Poles and Wires Up On Lenox, Await Permit From Boro Pres.
Commissioner Albert Goldman of the Department of Plant and Structures in a conference with Alderman Fred R Moore on Tuesday stated that traffic lights are in operation on both Madison and Fifth avenues, in Harlem, and that other avenues are to be taken care of immediately. The poles and wires are already in place on Lenox avenue, but Borough President Julius Miller has refused to issue permit for turning on the lights while cold weather prevails. This delay, it is believed will be of short duration, and Commissioner Goldman assured Alderman Moore that the lights will be operating very shortly.
The announcement is also made by the Commissioner that construction has been started on the installation of lights on Seventh avenue, and will be rushed to completion as soon as possible.
A. & P. GROCERY ASKED TO GIVE NEGRO A CHANCE Official In Conference With Citizens To Get Justice For Clerk
A. & P. GROCERY ASKED TO GIVE NEGRO A CHANCE Official In Conference With Citizens To Get Justice For Clerk
As a result of the treatment accorded Arthur N. Jones, Negro clerk in the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company's grocery store at 473 Lenox avenue, a citizen's committee was organized Tuesday to work for the opening up of opportunities for Negroes in this city. Mr Jones, who has been a faithful and efficient employee of this company for almost three years, was informed two weeks ago that the company had decided to retain only those men eligible for promotion and that he should seek work elsewhere. This Mr Jones did but in the meantime he communicated with his pastor, the Rev William Lloyd pastor of St James Presbyterian Church. He also informed customers of the store of the edict, and they unknowing to him got up a petition urging his retention.
Rey Imes wrote A. V. Beiber, general manager of this district for a conference on the matter. Mr Beiber was unable to see Rey Imes at his office but agreed to send J W Stafford superintendent of the district, to see the minister at his home, 200 West 137th street
Confer With Official.
A group of people living in the vicinity of the Lenox avenue store were asked to meet with Rev Imes and the superintendent Tuesday afternoon and several responded. Mrs Irena Morman' Blackstone, well known in cign and political circles, with Mrs Florence P. Browne undertaker, and Mrs B Mitchell of 511 Lenox avenue, were present, along with William E. Clark of The New York Age. With Dr Imes as spokesman, the grievance of the committee against the cham store grocery was explained and he, Mr Stafford, was urged to point out to his company the wisdom of giving larger opportunity to Negroes in districts where their stores are supported by colored people. Mr Stafford admitted that Mr Jones' record had been good and promised to take up the subject of his promotion to the position of manager of the store with higher officials in the company. He interviewed he would arrange an interview for the committee with Mr Beiber on the matter.
A temporary organization was formed with Rev Imes as chairman and William E. Clark as secretary

Founder's Day Program At Tuskegee Institute Marked By Address Of Dr. John H. Finley, Editor N. Y. Times
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—"No program for Negro advancement which does not include those fundamental principles laid down by Booker T. Washington and carried on by Dr. Robert R. Moton, present head of Tuskegee Institute, is complete." This is the opinion of Dr. John H. Finley, newspaperman, educator, poet and public servant, who delivered the annual Founder's Day address here Sunday afternoon.
"The work that Dr Washington did for the Negro is comparable to that which George Washington did for the country." Dr Finley said. The speaker is executive editor of the New York Times, and made the visit to Tuskegee Institute in fulfilment of a promise to Dr. Washington made twenty years ago, and another to Dr Moton twelve years ago. With this his first trip to the Institute, he redeemed these promises was approved by the Board of Trustees at the meeting here Saturday afternoon. April 6. This covers maintenance and operation of the plant.
The Board also approved a course in Public Health Nursing which will be offered in the near future. The course is designed to train young women in public health nursing for service both in urban centers and in rural districts. This
Progress of Negro
Dr. Finley recounted the progress the Negro has made in this country, stating that which he has made in the past ten years surpassed all that in the preceding fifty Tuskegee Institute, he said, is the supreme achievement of the Negro on his own behalf Founder's Day is observed each Spring at Tuskegee Institute in commemoration of the birth of Booklet T. Washington who established the Institute in 1881 The address on this occasion is delivered by some notable leader. Chief Justice Taft, Dr. Edwin Mims of Danderyt University, Emmet, O'Malal, governor of Alabama, Dr. James H. Dillard, Dr. Jeanes and Slater Fund boards and Sir Wilfred T' Grenfell of Labrador, have been speakers in former years.
A Rugged Character.
The speaker was presented by Dr. William Jay Schieffeln of New York chairman of the Board of Trustees, as a man of "smooth ideals and rugged character that he would be elected first citizen of New York by those who know. He is not only an educator of distinction, but a public servant of marked ability as well as a poet and an editor."
The meeting was presided over by Dr. Moton. Preceding the address was a brief musical program by the Institute orchestra, choir and student body.
March To Chapel
, Led by the Institute Band, the visitors, faculty and students of the school marched from the Carnegie Library where they assembled, to the Institute chapel where the exercise were held. The line of march led across the White Hall lawn followed the Pinchurst road proceeded down the long walk where they bury bodies, and stood at attention while the trustees, faculty, alumni and other visitors passed through.
Rabbi Preaches Sermon
"All God's chillun got wings" according to Rabbi Louis Binstock of New Orleans, who preached the sermon in the Institute chapel Sunday morning, taking his text from the lines of the familiar Negro Spiritual and from the Biblical story of Jacob's ladder "These are the wings of genius, of ability of power to rise above the commonplace to heights of mobility and idealism.
Like the angels Jacob saw, we too are possessed of wings in our souls, in our bodies, in our minds. These wings hold unsuspected power ready and willing to serve us. It is up to us to make full use of them, not to let them become weak and ineffectual through lack of use. If we use them they will enable us to do the seemingly impossible, to rise above ourselves. We need but to reach down into the depths of our souls, bodies and mind, to call forth these wings."
Rabbi Binstock urged the students not to neglect their abilities because they meet with obstacles Happiness can be achieved, be said, if we conquer the world within which is a more difficult world to conquer than that without. To do this we must have supreme death in ourselves and although all of us do not have it in us to be geniuses we can extend the field of our accomplishment through the use of our wings.
As examples of those who, though handicapped, used their wings, the rabbit cured Helen Kellar, Cervantes, John Bunyan and Oscar Wilde who did their best writings while imprisoned; Cellini, the mealthai Italian sculptor; and Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor.
Trustees Vote Budget.
A budget of $583,000 for 1920:30
was approved by the Board of Trustees at the meeting here Saturday afternoon. April 6. This covers maintenance and operation of the plant
The Board also approved a course in Public Health Nursing which will be offered in the near future. The course is designed to train young women in public health nursing for service both in urban centers and in rural districts. This course will meet an urgent need in allevating public health conditions among Negroes.
It was also voted to enlarge the Institute library and hospital to meet the growing needs of the Institute. Progress toward the erection of a new Training School for children of the community, to be built with funds bequeathed to the Institute by W W Chambliss, a graduate, is reported
The installation of a new automatic telephone system was also approved by the board
Hold Class Reunion.
Members of the class of 1909 who returned to the Institute to hold their twentieth anniversary reunion were represented on the program by John W Whittaker, dean of Atlanta University, Atlanta, who spoke Saturday evening, telling of the inspiration and training which he and his classmates had received from Dr Washington and Tuskegee, of their work in life, of their appreciation of Tuskegee Institute and their hopes for its future pledging their whole-hearted support of Dr Moton.
"The history of education of the Negro in America rates few names if any, higher than that of Booker T Washington." Dean Whittaker declared "To him, more than to any other individual, are due the innovations and the distinctions which have placed Tuskegee from its founding in the front rank of influence and service. To him is due the credit for the creation of a philosophy of education which has made a distinct contribution to the educational practice and thought of the world."
Truateea Arrive.
Headed by Dr William Jay Schieffeln, chairman of the board, a party of trustees, and their guests from New York and New England arrived at the Institute Saturday morning. They were met at the morning.

Bruseaux, Grand Jury Investigator, Makes First Public Statement As To Indictment Of Congressman DePriest Gave Interview In Which He Stated That Thorough Investigation Showed Charges Unwarranted and Witnesses Unreliable
By Carey B. Lewis
Chicago, Ill.—To clear up the public's mind in regard to the recent charges that resulted into the indictment of Hon. Oscar DePriest, Congressman elect, the writer immediately sought an interview with Sheridan A. Bruseaux, chief investigator for the Special Grand Juries, who was charged with the indictment of the Congressman-elect.
Congressman DePriest Is Seated Without Expected Opposition
Washington, D.C —Despite dire predictions that there would be strong opposition to the seating of Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago, he was sworn in as a member of the Seventy-first Congress without any opposition Monday, April 15
Congressman DePriest took the oath of office with 407 other members-elect, who were present at the opening of the extra session. The oath was administered by Speaker Nicholas Longworth
The indictment against Congressman DePriest in Chicago was dismissed Saturday at the request of the State's Attorney and this caused whatever opposition there was so his being seated to fade.
Congressman DePriest represents the First Congressional District of Illinois, succeeding the late Martin B Madden. He is the first member of his race to occupy a seat in the halls of Congress in 28 years. The last one was George Henry White of North Carolina, who was a member of the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth Congresses
AFRICAN STUDENTS SCORE RIVALRY OF RELIGIONS Students Union In Session at Gammon Seminary Speak Out
AFRICAN STUDENTS SCORE RIVALRY OF RELIGIONS Students Union In Session at Gammon Seminary Speak Out
Atlanta, Ga. — Denominational competition in the African mission fields occasions waste of effort, cause unfortunate divisions among the people, and handicaps Christianity in its conflict with Mohammedanism, according to E. Edwards, of Murray Town, Sierra Leone, West Africa, speaking at the annual meeting of the African Students Union of America, in session at Gammon Theological Seminary, this city. Even families are being divided along religious lines, he said, sometimes as many as three denominations he represented in a single family. He expressed the opinion that some means should be found by which the various churches might make a united appeal to the people of mission lands. In reply it was pointed out by Dr. E. N. Donahough of the Methodist Foreign Mission Board, that means of the mission boards of America are seeking to obviate the difficulty complained of by the division of territory and by union enterprises, and that in certain of the mission lands the native Christians of the different denominations are beginning to unite on a common basis. Discussing the question "What sort of missionaries are needed?" Prof. E. N. Jones of Freetown Sierra Leone, expressed the opinion that the type of missionaries needed today are those who come as friends and advisers, rather than as autocratic ecclesiastical dictators.
H K Nyabonga, of Howard University son of a hereditary Ugandan king presided over the meeting, which was attended by a dozen students from various parts of the African continent. The school of missions of Gammon Seminary participated also.
All persons who have pledged contributions to the Monarch 45 Band Fund for free open-air park concerts during the summer, but who have not paid their pledges, are asked to send in the $1 or more pledged, at once to the treasurer of the Pund, Alderman Fred R. Moore at The Age office, 230 West 135 street, so that necessary arrangements can be completed.
The writer asked Mr. Bruseaux to give him a true statement as to all facts in regard to the recent indictment by the Special Grand Juries.
Bruseaux Makes Statement.
Mr Bruseaux reluctantly gave an interview for the purpose of clearing the public's mind, so that the public at large could have absolute confidence in the newly elected Congressman, inasmuch as he is representing the First District of Illinois, and also the fifteenth million Negroes in the United States of America.
Mr Bruseaux stated that Mr. DePriest's indictment came about solely by individuals who were formerly connected with him, and at the present time affiliated with him and his political organization, who saw fit to bring witnesses and information into the office of the Special Grand Juries, unsolicited and without pay, and then it became his duty as chief investigator to present said facts to the Assistant Attorney General for its presentation before the Special Grand Juries which resulted in his indictment.
Ask Dismissal of Charges
Mr Brusseaux stated that subsequent to that time, by virtue of the power and authority vested in him as chief investigator by the Attorney-General of the State of Illinois, he had seen fit to investigate the said charges that resulted in Mr DePriest's indictment, and upon his investigation, he had found the charges unwarranted and some of the witnesses thoroughly unresponsible, which resulted into his recommendation that the present charges against the Congressman be dismissed.
Upon these recommendations that resulted from the investigation, the Hon. Frank J. Lousch, Chief Special Prosecutor under the Attorney General and now First Assistant State's Attorney, immediately asked the Hon. Judge Lynch of the Superior Court to dismiss the said charges.
Mr Brusseaux stated that upon his investigation, which was thorough and complete into the charges that the Hon. Oscar DePriest was indicted upon, that he had found him absolutely clean and fully worthy of the confidence placed in him in his newly assigned duties as Congressman of the United States from the First District of Illinois.
It may be remembered that Hon Oscar DePriest was indicted in the month of August, 1928, by the Special Grand Juries on a charge of conspiracy, which resulted in grave concern among our group throughout America, and this is the first time that Mr Bruseaux, who is more thoroughly familiar with said indictment by virtue of the fact of his office as chief investigator, than any other individual, has seen fit to give out any interview concerning the charges against the Congressman elect.

Since it was organized in
Brooklyn, June 9, 1853, the Y. M. C. A. has served
thousands upon thousands of young men and boys.
Through 75 years these members have come—and
gone. The Association has built up their bodies, devel-
oped their minds, strengthened their characters and
helped them climb the ladder toward success.
Today there are 25,289 members in the 17 branches
of the Brooklyn and Queens Y.M:C. A. Seventy-five
per cent of these members are under 30 years of age. Six
thousand of them are boys under 18 years. They repre-
sent many religious faiths.
In addition to its members, the Y. M.C. A. also serves
the enlisted men of Army and Navy, and merchant sea-
men. Thousands of men and boys outside the member-
ship are also reached through community activities.
The Y. M. C. A. through seventeen branches and five

THREE ATLANTA COLLEGES TO AFFILIATE IN ACADEMIC WORK
Announcement April 3 That Atlanta University, Morehouse and Spelman Colleges Will Join In Plan, A. U. Doing Only College Work
Atlanta, Ga.—Completing the affiliation into a single university system of three important local Negro colleges, Atlanta University, Morehouse and Spelman Colleges, the following have been elected as a board of trust of the new system, which is to be known as Atlanta University; Dean Sage, Mrs. Alice Coleman, James Weldon Johnson, William Travers Jerome jr., of New York; Kendall-Weisiger, Rev. J. M. Nabrit, Dr. Will W. Alexander, Dr. John Hope, Miss Florence Read and Dr. Myron W. Adams, of Atlanta. Five additional members are to be elected. Mr. Sage was chosen president of the board, and Dr. John Hope was unanimously elected president of the University.
The arrangement provides that each institution shall continue to operate much as at present under its own board of trust and administrative staff. The principal immediate change is that Atlanta University will cease to admit freshmen, and as soon as the present under-graduate classes can be taken care of, will give itself solely to graduate and professional work, the other two institutions throwing their strength and influence into the development of this great school.
Affiliation of three outstanding Negro colleges in Atlanta, Ga., Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College, in a university plan which will make Atlanta a center of education for Negroes in America was consummated on April 1 and was announced April 3 by Dean Bage, president of the board of trustees of Atlanta University Dr John Hope, president of Morehouse College, has been unanimously invited to become president of Atlanta University. Under the plans for the affiliation of these three institutions, graduate and professional work is to be allocated to Atlanta Universities, and the college work done by Morehouse College for men and Spelman College for women.
No Freshmen for A. U.
The arrangement contemplates an immediate change in the activities of Atlanta University. No freshmen are to be admitted next fall, and as rapidly as the present undergraduate classes can be taken care of the university is to become an institute of graduate and professional
the graduate and professional schools.
The board of trustees of Atlanta University has been reorganized to include representatives nominated respectively by the boards of trustees of Morehouse College and Spelman College and additional members to be elected at large.
The invitation to Dr. Hope to become president of Atlanta University contemplates his remaining as President of Morehouse College, in response to the insistence of the Morehouse board of trustees, to complete the present endowment campaign of that institution and the points for strengthening the college growing out of the campaign.
Forty Years At A. U.
President Mayron W. Adams, Atlanta University has been pending for more than a year, will continue in that office until the 30th of June. By that date he will have completed 40 years in the service of that institution.
The work of Morehouse College and Spelman College will continue as at present. Each institution retains its own Board of Trustees and own management. With their representation on the Board of Atlanta University, all three institutions will throw their strength and influence into the development of a strong graduate school which will offer Negro students opportunity for graduate study which has not before been available.

Additional Letters And Telegrams To Ald. and Mrs. Moore
From The Rev. Scott Wood
The Rev Scott Wood of Pittsburgh, Pa, who established the St Luke's Mission in Harlem several years ago, wrote Alderman and Mrs Moore as follows: "Although somewhat belated in sending my felicitations upon the fifteenth anniversary of your marriage, I wish to assure you from the bottom of my heart that they are non-theless sincere. I regret very much that owing to pressing engagements in this part of the country, I couldn't be present at the celebration of your golden anniversary. I assure you, my good friends, that I can endorse the many good things said about you both. While I was not present in body I was with you in spirit and I hope and pray that you will both live many years to enjoy the good will for the service, you have rendered through all the years of the past. In wishing you health and happiness for the future, Mrs Wood joins me most heartily. Enclosed please find a small token of appreciation from Mrs Wood and myself. Praying God's blessing upon you and your home, I am sincerely your old friend—Scott Wood."
William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who had to leave the celebration early, wrote as follows. "Of all the people who came out to your 50th Anniversary Celebration, none were prouder of you or thought you more deserving of the honor than were Mrs Pickens and I Mrs Pickens, in particular, has always been a Fred Moore fan, and she has good sense. Best luck for the future."
Father John Laffric, editor of "America," the national Cath he weekly wrote "I have only learned just now of your great wedding jubilee celebration. It is certainly my own task, as I had, an account of absence, not seen The Age for a few issues. However I am sending to you my sincere congratulations, and wishes for God's blessings for many years to come" Robert R.

This banquet was attended by the federal bar associations in this and adjoining districts and by judges of the various federal courts as far even as Washington. I was down for one of the addresses over the radio and, in addition, because of my office I was one of the reception committee. The requirements of the occasion, therefore were such that it was impossible for me to get away. I was very sorry to have been thus prevented.

"About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G. O'Shields, of Portersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the tite best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache.

When President Hoover named Walter F. Brown of Ohio as the new Postmaster General, the appointment was received is the choice of another Ohio politician to handle the department, which is the goal of many office seekers. But an article in the New York Herald Tribune of a recent Sunday, revealed Mr. Brown is a rather unusual type of the Ohio politician. Although he was a member of the State Committee as far back as 1898, and in politics in the days when Senators Hanna, Foraker and Dick were active political forces, he was in favor of the Roosevelt movement in 1903.
Besides being in politics, Mr. Brown was also in business, growing out of membership in his father's law firm. He also gave a lot of time to sports, especially yachting. He is said to love camping although he is no hunter. He is also fond of raising poultry. He broke with Senator Foraker of Brownsville fame, who wanted the Ohio indorsement for Presidential nomination in 1908 and joined the Taft forces. He became regular again and when Harding was elected acted as floor leader in the House. He was one of the first of the "regulars" to appreciate the possibilities of Herbert Hoover as a Presidential possibility, having served under him as assistant secretary of the Department of Commerce
Now he is the head of the Post Office Department with three hundred and sixty thousand employees, one of the biggest business concerns in the world. There are over fifteen thousand postmasters under his control and the expenditures of the system ran up to nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars last year. Most surprising of all, it is announced that he is going to conduct the department as a business and not as a political organization.
It is believed by those who know him, that he, if anyone, ought to be able to do that very thing, without at the same time training those political relationships which are just as essential as honest business efficiency to the success of an administration under our American system of government. If the new Postmaster General is this type of politician it will be expected that no discrimination in appointments or promotions will be permitted under his rule in this department
COUNTING BY COLORS
The New York Evening Journal, one of the yellowest of the Hearst publications, had an editor all day last week, which it received the fine old stump of revising the British Lion's tail in a style that would have pleased Chicago's master, if he had seen it. The editorial was based on a cartoon reproduced from a lasgow paper, under which the Journal printed "Says Uncle Sam to Madame Britannia 'Will you please move over'" the Scotch editor's lettering was
The New York Evening Journal, one of the yellowest of the Hearst publications, had an editorial one day last week. In which it revived the fine old stunt of twisting the British Lion's tail in a style that would have pleased Chicago's mayor, if he had seen it. The editorial was based on a cartoon reproduced from a Glasgow paper, under which the Journal printed "Says Uncle Sam to Madame Britanna 'Will you please move over'" The Scotch editor's lettering was
Uncle Sam "Any objection to my ruling the waves along with you, my dear"
Britanna "It's a frightfully expensive idea, Uncle Sam, you know"
The Journal editor insisted that without knowing it, the Scotch editor had offered a good suggestion, and inquired if there was any good reason why Uncle Am should not rule at least his share of the waves. He continued twisting the till a little more
The Journal editor insisted that without knowing it, the Scotch editor had offered a good suggestion, and inquired if there was any good reason why Uncle Sam should not rule at least his share of the waves. He continued twisting the fail a little more.
For several hundred years our British friends have been singing "Rule Britannia, Britannia Rule, the Wake, Britons Never, Never Shall Be Slaves."
There is no reason why Britons SHOULD be slaves, every reason why they Should continue free and cheerful.
But is there any good reason why they should rule the waves to the exclusion of other nations or at least to the exclusion of Uncle Sam?
This, also, is quite a country. We have more than twice as many white men as Britain has, more than twice as much gold, all though that doesn't make much difference about ten times the industrial efficiency of Britain which DOES make a difference. We don't want anything that belongs to treat Britain. We have enough. And that is the situation with our British friends. Why shouldn't Madame Britannia move over a little and allow Uncle Sam do his part of the wave ruling.
Now, why did the Journal editor do is counting only in regard to the comparative number of white men that the two countries have? Doesn't he know at black men make as good cannon for-
Now, why did the Journal editor do this counting only in regard to the comparative number of white men that the two countries have? Doesn't he know that black men make as good cannon歼-
der as whites? In case of a war provoked by such jingoistic manifestoes as those issued by the Journal, black Americans would be drafted the same as whites; and in some localities a little quicker, perhaps. Or was the Journal editor thinking of the fact that Great Britain might draw upon a vast number of black soldiers from her colonial possessions, that might make the comparison as to numbers more even? It is hard to guess what motive lies behind a yellow journalist's utterances, when he begins to count by colors.
WHERE THE RACE IS GAINING.
A few weeks ago there appeared in that venerable publication, which claims to have been founded by Benjamin Franklin, the Saturday Evening Post of Philadelphia, an editorial article concerning "Racial Problems." Although venerable from the point of age, the Post is alert and modern enough when it comes to furnishing up-to-date information on modern achievements. As a rule it has kept away from the subject of the Negro, except as a target for ridicule and burlesque by such writers as Octavus Roy Cohen and Hugh Wiley. These two have exploited the black ex-soldiers as devotees of Lady Luck and the adventures of a mythical company of moving picture actors from Birmingham at great length.
But the editorial referred to treated of the progress of the Negro from a serious standpoint and in a detached and dispassionate manner, that showed an appreciation of the advances made by the race along the various lines of American civilization. It characterized these multi-ling signs of progress as gratifying to those who appreciate the magnitude of American racial problems. The most notable and tangible feature of improvement among the race was pronounced to deal with the basic factor of health. The report of one of the great life insurance companies, which has two and a half million Negroes among its policy holders, was quoted as showing that their mortality rate had fallen 17.3 per cent in the period from 1911 to 1927. It was added that health gains among the whites far exceeded those among the colored, but the gains of the latter were more striking because of the presumptive predictions made twenty years ago as to the possible extinction of the race by disease.
This decrease of mortality was accomplished in spite of the world war, the ravages of influenza, and a migration movement that took thousands of the race from a farming life to the congested conditions of the great cities, where they suffered from inadequate housing. But for this last condition it was thought that the improvement in mortality would have been greater. As a result of this improvement, the Philadelphia editor predicted that "with the cessation of immigration, it begins to look as if Negroes might multiply, even in the North, more than whites." He added
During the past decade in New York City, Negro population has increased four times as rapidly as the white. It is probable that nearly one and a quarter million Negroes moved from the south to the North between 1915 and 1928, although not all remained. The conditions are plainly such that the economy, and social advancement of the Negro, as well as his physical condition becomes of the first importance. Tremendous progress economically, educationally and culturally is taking place. Since 1917 there has been a gain of 550 per cent in the number of Negroes in colleges. For every 10,000 Negroes, nineteen are attending college, as compared with ninety whites among the same number. More medical, dental and other technical education, is needed, and the Negro business man still lacks anything like as much training for his work as the white business man has. But the opportunities are increasing.
The editor admits sharp differences of opinion exist as to the direction which the development of the race should take, but declared that assent must be given to the proposition that economic and educational advances are a continuing necessity. Insisting that the race must rise upon the prosaic basis of economic strength and fitness to their work, he linches his argument by closing as follows: "Only upon this foundation will either white or colored ever be able to see any answers to the more baffling questions of race prejudice and of unequal political status."
That is a conclusion which must be accepted as in keeping with the fundamental principles upon which the progress of the nation is based. The present problem of the Negro is largely of an economical character, in securing adequate preparation for his life work and in obtaining market value for that work with the opportunity to engage in it.

A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION
It is seldom that a community joins so hollowheartedly in a testimonial to any of its members as was shown in the celebration of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Moore one evening last
It is seldom that a community joins so wholeheartedly in a testimonial to any of its members as was shown in the celebration of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Moore one evening last week. Of course, there were a great many factors that tended to give this occasion more than the usual significance of
4
a social gathering, marking the fiftieth milestone of a matrimonial partnership. The public career of the groom and his official position as one of the city fathers, because of his place on the Board of Aldermen, added to the public interest of the celebration. But the drawing magnet that brought many, people from outside the boundaries of Harlem was the personality of the man and woman who celebrated a half century of married life.
This was the force that drew the members of the community from the Bronx to the extreme limits of Brooklyn and Queens boroughs, with a few from Jersey towns added, to join in congratulating the married couple on their wedding anniversary. The personnel of the gathering ranged from the smallest school child of Harlem to the chief magistrate of the greatest city on this continent. Besides the Mayor of New York, there were the President of the Board of Aldermen and other members of that body, the Police Commissioner and other high police officials, the chairman of the Republican County Committee, State legislators and other officials. The clergy was well represented by leading ministers of the various denominations while the legal and medical professions were present in many of their leading members. The other professions and the business world were also in evidence, there being hardly any occupation or industry that did not have representation.
The popular character of the testimonial was also manifested in the variety of colors and races represented at the tables and in the galleries. That their interest was genuine and not a perfunctory performance of an onerous task, was shown by the fact that all of the participants remained throughout the evening, the official speakers keeping their places after they had testified to their appreciation of the occasion and added their tributes to the character and public service of the guest of the evening.
A notable phase of the occasion was the absence of any reference to race or color in the speeches made by the speakers of both races. The tributes paid were based on the work done by a man among men, willing to serve his fellows without regard to race or color. There was no laudation of the man whom they desired to honor merely because he was a Negro, neither was there any talking down to "your people". It was purely a matter of one man having completed a matrimonial cycle of half a century while rendering useful service to his fellows, that elicited the congratulations and good wishes of the members of the community that knew and appreciated that service.
This golden wedding celebration was truly a community gathering that was participated in by all classes of the community. It was notable for many significant features, some of which we have noted as a departure from the ordinary tendency of cut and dried social celebrations. There was something spontaneous and genuine about the affair given at the Armory, despite its hugeness, that made all who attended it feel glad that they were a part of so big-hearted a community as that represented on this occasion. The celebration and the testimonial that accompanied it not only honored the recipients of the tribute, but reflected equal honors upon those who sponsored the movement and those who participated in it and added to its successful issue.
Above all, it showed that New York is truly a big city. As Mayor Walker aptly said, "it is great because it is cosmopolitan, because the measure of a man in this community must be his character and ability. We do not care from where you came, but where you are going and how you are going to live when you get there."

TWO RACIAL VIEWPOINTS
The Washington correspondent of the Greensboro Daily News seemed inclined to take a somewhat humorous view of the action of Representative Pritchard of North Carolina, who wrote vacating the office assigned him in the House Office Building, when he learned that a Negro Congressman from Chicago had been assigned offices next door. According to the correspondent, this left the Republican member from North Carolina "on the sidewalk," or to create there on his arrival.
Over a column was given to a discussion of "the embarrassing situation" caused by the election of Oscar DePriest to Congress. The old bugaboo of what would happen if his wife or daughter were to appear at a meeting of the Congressional club of women was revived, together with this fuss over putting a North Carolina member in an adjoining office. It was suggested that Mr Pritchard "should have a heart, and should have some judgment, if he is to play a part in national affairs." Among things that he should learn is to "rofram from rocking the beat or soiling the hears." Ly
ARREST OF GHANDI IN CALCUTTA IS MARKED BYBRUTAL POLICE HOOLIGANISM
Calcutta, India.—Shradhananda Park in Calcutta became the scene of police hooliganism on Monday evening, March 4, when "regulation lathies" (armed thick stick with iron ends) were freely used on the absolutely peaceful crowd that assembled there to hear Mahatama Gandhi, the leader of the passive non-resistance movement
dently the North Carolina lily-white has done both of these things. The telegram sent by Representative LaGuardia of New York, saying that he would be very glad to have the office, adjoining the one assigned DePriest, was hailed by this correspondent as affording a possible solution of the problem and relieving the strain all around. He thought it likely that other members will take similar action, because the Negro vote is a real factor in New York elections. He added that in the Pritch-
It had been decided to burn foreign clothes at the meeting. But in the afternoon on Monday, a notice was served on Kiran Sankar Roy, secretary of the Bengal Provincial Congress Committee, asking him to stop the burning of foreign cloth. From this it was evident that the police were bent on stopping the bouncer's hand; it took upon himself the responsibility of burning the foreign cloth. As soon as the bouncer began a number of constables armed with regulation lathies and sergeants surrounded the meeting and began to pushe the huge crowd that assembled—there. Some men who were believed to be agents provocateur began exciting trouble. It was reported afterwards that these men were seen throwing stones.

The church was set on fire when Miss Bacon delivered the message "The Parting of the Mass." The people, moved by the Mass, led prayed uninterrupted that evening the sententious rejoicing.

The Palmetto, Leader of Colum bia asserts that South Carolina and Louisiana are in the same boat so far as providing for delinquent girls is concerned. It said;
The New Orleans Dally States recently called attention to a condition in Liquoriana that is a disgrace to any civilized Christian American State. A colored girl of 15 years of age, convicted of killing a colored man, was sentenced to the State Penitentiary for life. The Daily State, in endeavoring an appeal to the Board of Pardons in behalf of this child, called punishment to the fact that Louisiana did no institute for delinquent colored girls as it had for the same class of white girls. That was the reason why it was necessary to sentence the child to the penitentiary. But Louisiana is not alone of the Southern States indifference that cannot be explained in ordinary fairness and decency, that has shown a callousness and South Carolina is right alongside of Louisiana. A year ago, girls under sixteen years of age were convicted of assault and battles on a white woman. They were sentenced to the Reformatory which, however, was for colored boys only. Of course, when carried there, they were not received. They were then carried to the State Penitentiary, but admittance was refused. They were then taken back to the jail of their home comp., but it was really unlawful for them to be kept there for a time, the face of moving for a new trial—which was promptly granted—was gone thru with. Being tried again, and, of course, promptly convicted they were sentenced to the jail for a term.
Callous indifference and short-sighted parsimony seem to be the cause for this lack of provision for delinquent girls, as some provision has been made for the boys in South Carolina.
According to an Atlanta special printed in the Texas Freeman of Houston, books about Negroes and those written by Southern Negro authors had a conspicuous place at the Southern Book Exposition held at a big department store in that city.
'Among the latter group appear Dr Booker Washington's classical autobiography, "Up From Slavery," Dr Robert R Moton's life story "Finding a Way Out," and his late book "What the Negro Thinks" which is just troth the press James Weldon Johnson's "Food of Trombones" Walter White "Fire on the Flut" and "Flight, the Poems of Dumbar, Mr. T J "Fanning" Johnston, Mr. T J "Fanning" national poet, and Negro stories, by Dr Carrier G. Woodson and Dr. Benjamin Brawley.
Most conspicuous among the works of the Southern authors were Dr Howard W. Odum's "Rainbow Round My Shoulders," and his two volumes of Negro songs, DuBose Heyward's "Porg," and "Mamba's Danghters." Mrs Julia Peterkin's "Black April" and "Scarlet Sister Mary," and Dr E. L. Adams' "Congaree Sketches" of course, "Tincle Remus," as interpreted by Joel Chandler Harris, was present in all the general glory of his several volumes, some of them in manuscript form. Dr Odum Mrs Peterkin, and Dr Odum were present in person on successive days, and gaze readings which greatly interested the large audiences present.
This is regarded as a most significant recognition of the place the race has gained in literature.
The Western World Reporter of Memphis printed the following message from Montgomery, Ala as "something worth noting."
At the recent term of the current court of this county, the grand jury called attention to the fact that every case brought before them charging the manufacture of liquor involved only Negroes while the testimony indicated that these Negroes were working for white men who posited by their violations of law.

the grand jury made the following recommendation: "Without any leasing of effort toward the capture of such Negroes, we urge especial activity toward the capture of the white employers who, in our opinion, are the more capable of the two classes of offenders."
This recommendation of the grand jury is considered significant on our own account. It brings to mind also the statement of a well-known Southern white man interested in the improvement of race relations to the effect that "if white and Negro preachers understood each other and worked together as well as white and Negro bootleggers do a large part of our interracial troubles would specially come to an end."
And the queerest part of it is that prohibition was adopted in the South to keep the Negroes from getting hold of liquor.
Calling attention to the fact that out of twenty-two thousand employees of the State of Pennsylvania only ninety-seven are colored Philadelphia. Tribune said
The idea that public jobs do not help the Negro is foolish and un sound. The State of Pennsylvania is a corporation sovereign. It refuses to employ Negroes who contribute regularly to its sustenance how can it be logically expected for private corporations to employ them? When members of the dominant group observe colored citizens engaged in rendering capable, efficient service to their State it naturally causes them to consider favorable employing them in private businesses. Then, too, every dollar which an individual earns helps to increase the aggregate wealth of the class to which he belongs. Finally, fixed that every forward step taken by an individual helps to improve the general condition of even the man lowest down. When business presupposes the working man gets a job. The more jobs available the better business becomes. One is dependent upon the other.
The conference will blow up into thin air unless it is followed to definite conclusion. To stop here would-be to lose an excellent opportunity to place colored people in the employment of the State. The committee should forbid this one thing we will do—get jobs for colored people in the State Government.
The chairman of the Republican State Committee agreed that the complaint was justified and suggested that specific positions or placement be presented to him. This is something to work upon.
Referring to the features of certain bills before the Maryland legislature intended to benefit the race the Baltimore Ato-American under the heading, "Now, We'll Tell One commented.
The Maryland legislature has had its say. It said "No," to three bills of chief concern to the Negro.
Time was when the State's law makers would under no circumstances have considered such measures as the Teachers' Equalization Pay Bill and the Jim Crow Repeal. Those days are happily past. Not only were they introduced but there was effort on the part of a minority in both houses to have them enacted into law. To this extent Maryland is making progress. The Democratic majority party lost a golden opportunity of its leadership permitted selfishness in cases prejudiced by representative calls to the public school policy of the entire state and to continue the public humiliation of the colored race on railroads and steamboats. The legislature has had its case. Now we'll tell one at the polls in the next election.
That is a philosophy we was

CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIE
St. Cyprian's Chapel
Rev. John Wesley Johnson, the vicar, preached an interesting and instructive sermon at the 11 a.m. service on the life of St. Paul. Immediately after the morning service the vicar was called to Harlem to hold the last rites over the remains of the late Junus E. Crowder at the Hotel Bellman's Association, St. Nicholas avenue and 130th street, due to the fact that Rev. Wm. P. Hayes, the pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, had two funerals at his church immediately after the morning service, and could not officiate at the funerals of Crowder, as a member of his Church, but requested before death that his funeral be held from the Bellman's Association of which he was one of the founders. At the 4 p.m. Bible class which Mrs. Harriet Johnson is the instructor, visitors from all the different sections of the city were present.

Pastor Lawson preached an excellent sermon on Sunday, evening taking his text from Acts 10 to which relates to the first Apotheosis martyre of Pope Peter through the priest for almighty affliction for almighty at the gate in the temple. He compared the man he was born crippled from his misery to those without the Spirit of the Lord or today. The commandments and commission on our Lord today is: Left hands which hang down and the feeble knee, and make straights between the feet, and lame be turned out of the way, but rather he healed

In answer to this complaint the Master told the parable of the Lost Sheep Jesus was an interesting and a stimulating speaker—he always drew his parables from the interests and 'knowledge of the common people' The Eastern shepherd knew each of his sheep by name. If one were lost he would never rest until it were safely returned to the fold. On finding the frightened animal, the shepherd, he in his arms and carry the sheep home, calling in the neighbors to help him rejoice
"In early Christian art, the figure of the Good Shepherd is portrayed often while in modern churches. He is shown with the lost sheep across His shoulder. Why is this figure portrayed so often? Because it represents the sum and substance of what Christianity realizes, made the supreme sacrifice to find and save the lost sheep.
Again how much does the portraial map to us? The illustration of the Good Shepherd should represent a character to us. The training and inspiration received from this character should be a vital force in our lives.
Paraphrasing the text it would read! It is the good friend the good treasured lavish aside his life

We, as Christians, should be willing to lay aside our own selfishness, our own ambitions and desires in order that our friends may be given the preferent names. George Elliot illustrates a willingness to lay aside, in the lines, "May I join the choir invisible whose song is the gladness of the world." Flowers for the altar were contributed by Bruce J.

During the following week we met with a group of Mount 15's older members who has been a needed for the past eight years. The flood in some regions of Mount 15 endured. Laelion was held at the temple of people and families under an acre. At the evening the pastor preached from John 15's chapter in 11 verses to early age people had such a fear of the devil that they think God can be used in our petty actions and to wreak vengeance upon them. The same time Christ who is the reproduction of the Father taught us that all of us are children of the Father, and that He has the same was troubling in the appeal. The death of the infant son of Mt.

There notes are being written at a time when people are happening. We are on Friday morning. We are aged and they were left in a carriage and we are not sure if that the pastor's copy was written without the Review at all. They were progressing as rapidly, we believe, as trouble under the leadership, but it is time to speak to good congregations. His visit was to the meetings last Friday night with two conversations during the meetings, and two real meetings at the regular Sunday services. Sunday was a crowded day, notwithstanding that the people were executive being the best, and well indeed was good music.

THE material contrast between the structures with white walls in Washington and the present great architecture of our country sufficiently inflicted an impression about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, the material contrast and annual turning out of two or three hundred young women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of interest to all. The women are not so sentimental and so sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center of the light of the homely but ever living truth which must foster the spirit of the nation. LILLIAM BO.

"We should have a fellow feeling with Jesus Christ in his sufferings for all of us who are Christians are not immune from it, for after we become true followers of Him we cease to belong to ourselves and become a part of Him with spirit we learn to understand Him with learn and understand why God has laid hold of us, just as St. Paul did! This was the central thought of the pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler, at the morning hour, which was the regular monthly communion day. Dr. Tyler was speaking on the topic "The Fellowship" of His Sister Phillips. The text was Phillipsans 110.
During the course of the sermon Dr. Tyler vividly portrayed to the vast throng the extent that the world goes in endeavoring to win the attention of mankind. This effort on the part of the worldly leads many to think that the things that we see, handle, touch and possess are all there is in life. These things are temporal and must persevere. The unten things, which only are our heat and mind can enjoy.
The great business of the church is to counteract the worldly views in doing so we must exercise sanity and sound judgment.
All of us should strive to be like Paul in that we seek daily to learn why God has caught hold of us, and as we move about, we should bear witness for Him in every deed and action and call attention to the values and not to temporal things.
Of course, there comes a time in the life of all when we might lose restraint, but as followers of Christ we can't afford to do this and must remember that not our will but His Will must be done.
One person joined the church.
Dr Tyler filled the pulpit at the evening hour. He delivered a short but interesting sermon on the subject "Purpose." The text was Daniel 1.8. "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not deform the portion of the King's meat," he said, which he drank, therefore he requested of the prince of the councils that he might not defile himself.
Dr Tyler stressed the point that all of us, and especially the young people, should have an ideal, a purpose in life, and that should be to lead a clean Christian life. We should not just drift in life, but have our lives organized for the better and purer things of life. We remember the individual are nothing but a number of impulses, and have certain instincts, and we should not give into those things that will defile us. Hence no matter what our surroundings, we will be in a position to demand respect.
One person joined the church.
The flowers in the pulpit were in memory of Mrs Henry Mary Blake and was given by her friend, Mrs Edith.
The annual fair closed on Friday night. It was a success in every way.
Next Sunday will mark the completing of the committee of 300 for the financial drive for $3,000, under auspices of the trustees. Also the installation of the officers of the church will be made by the A.M. E Church at Freeport will be made by the pastor in the afternoon. The Re. R R Downs is the pastor.

Mago the Negro who entered it as an employee, Hon. citizen, and it was the home of the noble Sissie sang at the Big Parade, which is in France during the last what, For What?" I looked and saw the answer progress.
Red herself long, before the army to the strains of Wagtail softly came the rhythm of the instruments of the Moor made its entrance for a brief point "Ah here comes the thousand throats. And how looking hardly less, youthful, shone through the beautiful arms, also, was escorted by herided by his best man and walked with the buoyancy of the As you viewed the that brought you black to nimble, marriage was the that brought up the rear Still in the picture desiderity, that precious art and wit. The scene was one of whom could have a secular church that not only to the fact that each way Here you saw the proverb "You two do Part" kept in married life is an honor with the picture It was then you viewed it. Its beauty was done by the demonstrator many to be named here, but not these. This is not there have no bearing on what is missed, everyone seemed to be Walker, our carefree and traced wondered why it was left the inclination on the part for being so apparently in office I think I haveunning personality, and you with him to feel in the Armory Tuesday night in which I sat logan figure it was alleged, he figure ago Before the evening we ran in love with him personality Perhaps it might it is only his good looks, for our youthful apposite and he really knows how to real New Yorker admires its attractive points, our Mayor think of it, these two have the ballot. If you disk it Anway, if cheers are at Jimmy Walker near with the ovation given that rendered Casper Hassen know, Mr Holstein usted the honored guest of the talk, it was just possible the voice so it could be heard totally few of the speakers who an enigma to some of Hardt disliked produce a similar picture in day, but I do not expect present As a matter of fact there and there And it came to order. It was just
It was a fine painting. I have never seen anything and never expect to see anything like it again.
Historic that is, that part of it which we colored people are wont to think was being peculiarly our own, saw on Wednesday evening, or last week, a picture the like of which has never been seen around here, and probably will never be seen around here again by anyone of the two thousand men, women and children who viewed it on that evening. It represented progress, romance, idolity, honor and an adulation of a race for two of its worthy members.
The background of that rare and spectacular picture was the celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Moore's fifty years of married life on the 609th Regiment Armory, the only Negro regimental home in the East.
The first thing that struck my attention as I entered the huge arena was the national emblem reposing majestically above the table of the red guests and over which was traversed in gold letters the words "Fifteenth Anniversary."
Twenty-five years ago the Negro who entered a New York regiments home entered it as an employee. Tonight, he was entering one as a guest and citizen, and it was the home of those of his own
When the inimitable Noble Sissie sang and acted in soul stirring Dream of the Big Parade, which is the outpouring of a Negro's heart in grance during the late War, and he asks the question, For What, For What?" I looked around that assemblage of black and white and saw the answer. It was in the picture, and was marked progress.
Renaissance presented herself long before that particular episode series of the armory to the strains of Wagner's Bridal Chorus. I belonged. Softly came the rhythmic air of the famous wedding march from the instruments of the Monarch 45 Band as the bridal procession made its entrance. For a brief moment all eyes were accustomed to one point "Ah here comes the bride, came simulatively into a thousand throats. And how realistically it all did the bride, looking hardly less, youthful, despite the streaks of silver threads that shone through the beautifully-done coifure, than she did this years ago, was escorted by her bride-maid, Mrs. Raine Kugers.
The groom attended by his best man and intimate friend, for Charles H Roberts, walked with the bouyancy and vigor of a man of torts and not agents. As you viewed the extraordinary procession the only thing that brought you back to a realization that the fact that it was a mini marriage was the troop of children and grandchildren that brought up the rear. Still, for all of that to marry kept her place in the picture.
The next scene was idyllic, that precious and most cherished of virtues between man and witt. The scene was painted by the minister of Harlem, anyone of whom could have claimed the groom as a member of his particular church. That not one of these attempted that was due, perhaps, to the fact that each was allowed to participate in the ceremony. Here you saw the promise to "Love and Charm and Death You Two do Part" kept in its judicious sense. Two years of married life is an honor within itself. You didn't save; search for it in the picture. It was there to be seen not to from what angle you viewed it. Its beauty and worth were merely emphasised. This was done by the demonstrators who were the speakers.
there were too many to be named here, but I cannot resist mentioning at least three of these. This is not the order in which they spoke but that will have no bearing on what is said regarding them. As might be guessed, everyone seemed to have been anxious to hear that Jimmie Walker, our carefree and traveling Mayor, had to say, I have heretofore wondered why it was he had such a strong following in spite of the inclination on the part of the New York press to chide him for being so apparently unimpressed with the responsibilities of his office. I think I have learned the secret. Our Mayor has a winning personality, and you don't have to come in direct contact with him to feel it.
When he entered the Armory Tuesday night, several of the guests at the table at which I sat began criticizing him for a certain incident in which, it was alleged, he figured during his stay in Rome a year or so ago. Before the evening was over everyone on these trips had fallen in love with him.
and he has personality. Perhaps it might be that I am this
might be that it is only his good looks and the knack he
has of wearing his clothes, for our youthful appearing Mayor is really
pleasing to look at, and he really knows how to wear his togs. And
it there is anything a real New Yorker admires it is a welldressed man
in addition to these attractive points, our Mayor knows the
touch of politics.
He has also been at a loss to understand why the Mayor appointed
Mr. Greve. Whalen to the important and difficult job of Police Comm-
surer after there was so much criticism of his tenure or office as
a member of Plant and Structures. I think I see the light now.
He is a member, like the Mayor, also has a fair proportion of good
looks and knows the art of toggers.
Little as you might think of it, these two things will attract votes
now that the ladies have the ballot. If you disbelieve this wait until
Pierca's guilty direction. Anyway, if cheers are a guide, the women of
Historic West forget Jimmy Walker.
Now what on a par with the ovation given the Mavor and the lince commissioner was that rendered Casper Holstein, the man who Halem knows and does not know. Mr Holstein told why it was that he a certain and respected the honored guest of the evening, and being an avid ruler of likes, it was just possible that he knew the pitch at which to throw his voice so it could be heard by everyone, some of which unfortunately few of the speakers were able to do. Perhans Mr Holstein is an enigma to some of Harlem folks but it was obvious that he is not disliked. Holstein may reproduce a similar picture in honor of two worthy friends some future day, but I do not expect to be mentioned as being of those present. As a matter of fact a picture this highly painted here and there. And it can neither be plaited or executed according to order. It was just the Nature of feelings. What was the way I viewed it.

On a background of pale blue paper, with gold colored letters, the Pullman Porters Athletic and Social Club is sending out invitations to its sixteenth annual trot, which will be held at the Renaissance Casino on Friday evening, May 3
Reservations for boxes and lodges may be procured on application at the club's home, 105 West 130th street. Advertisement of the affair may be seen elsewhere in this paper. In next week's issue of The Age, this column will contain a brief account of the station of railroad workers.
The Pullman Porters Voluntary Pension movement is in momentum which presages well for the success of this effort. Sunday last, April 14, the largest meeting to date was held at the hey quarters of the movement, 309 West 130th street.
George L. Ford, the prime mover in the embryonic organization, is highly optimistic at the interest that is slowly but surely being taken in his efforts to create a medium which will be of service to the retired porter.
"Of course." And one of the sponsors, who asked that his name be omitted, "will take time to establish an organization such as is needed for the benefit of the retired porter, and which the sponsors have in mind, but just as the P. P. B. A. was finally put on a working basis, so can this movement be perfected so it can function in a sound and healthy manner. But this will take time."

Car Employees ended a nine-year fight here with vic-
tory when it achieved monthly relief with pay for
dining car cooks and.waiters on the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Rairoad. About 300 em-
ployes are affected, and relief will mean an equiva-
lent to $10,000 annual increases in their pay.

Monthly relief with pay is a long
established custom for traimservice
and Pullman car-service employes.
General throughout the industry
New Haven was the exception and.
exen im this respect, made dining
car employes the sole victims.
Ever after the director-general
of railroads ordered relief with pay
during the war-time government
control of the railroads, the New
Haven ding car superintendent
continued his prewar custom of
“telief" without pay Some of the
accrued but denied pay on this ac-
count was subsequently recovered
by the union.
After return of the roads to pri
\¥ate management the cooks-waiters
fight for relief began. Once they
got it into the agreement that two
days would ba allowed if 28 days

day idea was the superintendent's;
February carries only 2) working
days: hence no relief
