Attorney Clarkesdale, Miss.—Pronounced opposition of Negroes living in this section of the State to the permanent appointment of Lester G. Fant as U. S.

DePriest's Flowers Given To Hospital Washington, D. C.-Congressman Oscar DePriest of Protest Naming Fant Mary C. B. Booze, Negro National Committeewoman, and her husband, Eugene P. Booze, have appealed to President Hoover to appoint someone who can be depended on to give the Negro justice in the courts. They were enthusiastic Hoover supporters and played a big part in casting Mississippi for the President of Kansas City. The telegram to President Hoover follows: "The press indicates Hon. Lester G Fant is being considered for appointment as District Attorney for Northern District of Mississippi. The press states Judge Cox has appointed him Acting District Attorney until regular appointment is made. On behalf of the colored people of the Northern District, who constitute at least fifty percent of its population, we wish to have the earliest opportunity to his appointment made because of his will-known aversion to colored people, which we will show conclusively to you if given an opportunity."

No charges were preferred against him and his record during his three years in office was good. He is known that Mrs. Willebrandt, who is being her way in the Department of Justice, has not been any too friendly. Cook but has looked with favor on Fann. His temporary appointment is attributed to her influence. House has been fully acquainted with all. "Lily Waites" are jubilant over prospects of winning the ear of the administration at Washington.

The resolution which was said to have been adopted reads as follows "While we graffitefully appreciate the action of the North Jersey Medical Society in extending us assistance in the formation of the National Medical Association in Newark during August, 1929, we feel that accepting such an invitation does not work fully in accord with the plans of this society, whose desire to focus interest in the formation of the National Association caused the members to withdraw from a dual society, the North Jersey Medical Society, and form an organization known as the 'New Jersey Dental Society' will not participate in the entertainment of the National Medical Association next August."

C.—Despite the opposition of Dr. Hubert J. Work, chairman of the Republican National Committee, the lily white policy formulated by Col. Horace A. Mann of Tennessee, involving the building up of a two-party system in the South through the elimination of the Negro, is reported to be actively in process of development. A correspondent to the New York Evening World declared in the newspaper that the congresses for the distribution of Federal patronage and settlement of minor party disputes have been selected in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana, and that agreement has been Tennessee and North Carolina are unchanged, while in Virginia and Texas, C. Bascom Slemp and R. B. Creager, respectively, are still in control. One of the reasons advanced by Mann and his supporters is that the N.C. Republican has the East, particularly the Harlem section of New York City, but that the Republican ticket secured its usual overwhelming majority. This indicates, they claim, that attacks made on the Republican politician do not affect the Negro voters in the South, who stick to the Republican Party regardless. To Elect White Chairmen Another argument advanced by Mann is that the Republicina Administration can palliate the southern party policy by giving recognition to the Northern Negro, where communities are accustomed to Negro office, or ideally by appointment or election. It is proposed to bring pressure to bear upon white Federal office holders in the South to induce them to attend party primaries, with as many of their relatives and friends as possible, in order to ensure the election of white county officers instead of Negro Republicans as has been consistently the case in the past. Republican public heretofore has been to put white state chairmen in office, with control of the patronage, but Negro county chairmen and other local officials sooner or later would upset the scheme and it is argued, will rebuild the party from the bottom strictly on a white basis.

Holsey, secretary of the league, in a survey which he has recently made of Negro business, in which contacts were made that resulted in Indianapolis and a more efficient operation. In his appeal, the chairman points out that Indianapolis is the home of the Mine, Walker enterprise, and this establishment is alone worth the trip to Indianapolis. Prohibition Is Most Important Question 一 Hampton, Va.—Dr. Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, in an address to 600 teachers and officers of the second district of the Virginia State Teachers' Association which met at Hampton Institute, declared that the most important book question agitating the American people today is prohibition.

The charges involve Federal patronage violations and were brought as result of activities of Mrs. Mabel Willebrande, Assistant U. S. Attorney General, who charges that Howard sold Buchan his position as U. S. Marshal for $2,000, and that McClelland and Patton acted as go-betweens. Buchan and McClelland are white. At the time. Howard was a Special Assistant U. S. Attorney, stationed at Washington. Howard and Mrs Willebrande clashed at the Republican National Convention at Kansas City, over the seating a claim to Mississippi a few weeks later and started the investigation through which the indictments were returned. Removed John C. Cook As evidence of her anxiety to secure a conviction, Mrs. Willebrandt through Attorney, General Mitchell, called for the resignation of John C. Cook of Clarkesdale as Assistant Attorney, named his assistant, Leister Faye as aiding District Attorney of the Northern District, and has put Fant in charge of the prosecution instead of the U. S District Attorney of the Southern District, who, normally, would be in charge of the case. Fant's appointment has been protested in strongest terms by colored Mississippiians because of his open hostility towards the race. He is said to be bigh in Mrs. Willebrandt's vow. Other government attorneys are Miller Gilchrist, special Assistant Attorney, General from Washington; E. E. Hindman, U. S District Attorney of the Southern District; Cassady Holden and Louis Hallman of Jackson. Howard and his codefendants have entered a general denial of the charge that they are being repersonalized.

In fact, the case was postponed from the March term, for which it originally docked, when Fred Sullenbush, Jackson Daily News, was cited for coercion for publishing an article declaring the government had no chance to win. Nothing has come of the contempt charge to date, and the white editor continues to express himself freely and vigorously on the subject. Attorneys are listed to be heard, and it is predicted that the case will come to a speedy conclusion.

C.-Albon L. Holsey, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, and of the National Negro Business League, delivered a series of lectures to members of the economics class of the Winston-Salem Teachers College as part of a campaign to aid the independent Negro grocery stores through cooperative buying and better advertising. Mr. Holsey came here April 16 to lay the groundwork for the movement, which will culminate May 6 when Dr. Moton, head of the Business League, and Dr. Gordon James of the Department of Commerce, Washington, will be here to take part in a practical demonstration grocery store showing, and to speak on advertising and cooperative buying The movement is sponsored by the local Business League, William S. Scales, president, and Dr. S. G Atkins, president of the Teachers' College, is lending his active cooperation. The demonstration store will be stocked with nationally advertised goods, and national concerns are providing all of the equipment, including shelves and the stock of goods. From a conference at Louisville, at which Mr. Holsey was the only colored delegate, he procured a system of perpetual inventories for small stores by which the store keeper is able to tell the actual business done each week, as well as keeping track of slow selling articles, thus being able to get rid of articles for which there is little demand. The colored merchants of the city have organized an association, with J. H. Lowe as president, C. A. Irvin, secretary, to be affiliated with the local Business League.

The strikes inaugurated in the cotton mills of North and South Carolina are based upon a revolt against a twelve-hour day and a twelve-hour week, according to an article written by Paul Blanshard for the Nation, the liberal weekly, edited by Oswald Garrison Villard. Communism has also entered into the leadership of the strike in North Carolina, which has provoked a state of civil war in Gaston county, where soldiers of the National Guard have been ordered out to hold the strikers in check. These organized strikes are led by the new National Textile Workers Union, which was formed by communists last summer to challenge the American Federation of Labor in this field. ... The correspondent of the Nation, in describing the conditions at Gastonia, said that this is the South's first taste of communist leadership. Hitherto, the Federal Council of Churches, the Nation, the New Republic and the American Federation of Labor have constituted the local menace of radicalism. This radicalism is being fought by huge advertisements in the local papers and by distributing handbills denouncing the leaders of the revolt as preaching the doctrines of Bolshevism. The Communist party was further indicted as having no religion and no color line, a most significant lack—the latter. For, as Mr Blanshard tells us, behind the issue of communism in this strike is the issue of race. The National Textile Workers Union believes in admitting whites and Negroes upon the same basis, and in a few instances the latter have joined the union, but the correspondent had never seen one of the race at a meeting. When the manufacturers discovered this union policy in respect to Negro workers, they began to utilize it in an appeal to race prejudice, by issuing circulars reading: "You believe in White Supremacy. Would you belong to a union which opposes White Supremacy?" This was followed by editorials and advertisements in the Gastoma and Charlotte newspapers, denouncing the union for breaking the color line and quoting a story from the Daily Worker of New York, describing with approval a dance of whites and Negroes. The strikers themselves remain wholly unconverted to the ideal of race equality, as was to be expected of that class of poor whites, and their discussion of the race question was described as eloquent and emphatic, as shown by the following utterance "The nigguhs can join the union if they want to, but they can't meet under the same roof with us. No suh! Not in the same room. Not in the same room at the mill neither. Anyways I can't seen a nigguh's name on the books of this union yet. The Nothun folks can't tell us how to run the nigguhs, we know how to do that ourselves." The determination to maintain white supremacy was described as equally strong on the employer's side of the strike, as voiced by a major of the National Guard. It was said that there are only a hardful of Negro-strikers, because so small a proportion of the mill workers are colored. The tradition of the South is held to be that no white man will work in the same factory room with a Negro, so the latter must be given only the rough work of cleaning, packing and transport. This tradition is pronounced to be so strong, that any manufacturer who imported Negro strike-breakers would be overwhelmed by community opposition, and "incidentally, the Negro strike-breakers would be killed." The killing of strike-breakers of any color would be an inevitable accompaniment of a strike like the one described, even without the addition of a race issue to intensify the feeling of animosity. But killing in strikes is a two-edged sword, which is as likely to hit the strikers as the strike-breakers. At that, this cotton mill strike appears to be a good thing for the Negro to keep out of, unless he is forced to take part in it. FOR MAYOR OF NEW YORK. The office of Mayor of New York has restrictions and an importance out- weighting many political positions of higher rank. It even surpasses the Old World title of Lord Mayor of London, which constituted the ambition of the hero, of nursery tales, named Dick Whittington. The salary is ample and the duties are not so confining but that the incumbent has leisure to spend weeks in Florida and even venture across the seas. It is therefore to be expected that there should be keen rivalry for a position, that holds so much of agreeable dignity, emolument and the political patronage involved in dealing with the affairs of a metropolis comprising six millions of people. This fall the voters of the city will have to choose their chief magistrate for the next four years. There are a few conspicuous candidates for the office, already grooming themselves in the public press, without counting upon the natural desire of the present incumbent, Mayor Walker; to be elected for a second term. The recent decision of the Supreme Court at Washington, refusing to grant the subway corporation's plea for an increase of fare to seven cents, has been taken as a victory for the Mayor and helping his chances for renomination and election. This is because the cry of a five-cent fare has, illogically enough, become a political slogan in this city, despite the fact that prices of all necessities, except the cost of transportation, have risen from fifty to one hundred per cent. The five-cent fare is only maintained through the fact that the extra cost of transportation is made up through the taxpayers and added to tax and rent bills. Logically, the original author of the five-cent fare issue was Mayor Hylan, who served two terms and is apparently ready to come back for a third one, either as an independent or a fusion candidate. To enable him to run with any hope of success, the latter plan would offer the best opportunity, provided the Republicans would indorse him on a fusion ticket. Then there is talk of Herman A. Metz, former city comptroller and member of Congress, well known as the head of a great chemical concern, on a business man's ticket. The outstanding figure on the Republican side is Congressman LaGuardia, who though not always regular is strong among the voters. If a Brooklyn Republican is considered available for the fight, there was only one candidate of the party elected to any office last fall. an Assemblyman, which does render the prospect hopeful for a straight ticket. In the meantime Mayor Walker has many elements of strength as a candidate to succeed himself. Despite his frequent absence from the city, the city affairs seem to have gone along much as usual. New schools have been built and subway construction has proceeded, despite the lack of adoption of a plan for coordination of transit facilities. The much talked of system of busses seems to have petered out, after several years negotiations, and surface traffic is almost as slow as subway travel is congested. Whether the completion of the new subways will bring any relief, remains to be seen. Despite all these failures of local policies, Mr. Walker appears to remain the strongest candidate in the field, because of his popularity with all classes of voters. The people are impressed by his seeming sincerity of utterance, by his democratic deportment and by his strong attitude against anything that smacks of intolerance. If he should again be nominated for Mayor, it will require the strongest combination possible to put a ticket in the field that can give him a fight for the office. The prize of Mayor of New York is worth struggling for, but it is an office which is more likely to be adequately filled by seeking the right man to fill it, than by surrendering it to the most vigorous applicant for the position. A HEARST DISCOVERY. The New York American, perhaps the reading one of the Hearst papers, has discovered that there is such an instrument as the Constitution of the United States in a recent issue sought to rebuke Congress, by emphasizing the fact that there is a Fourteenth Amendment to the constitution as well as an Eighteenth. This fact was brought out in a striking cartoon, representing the Fourteenth Amendment as an aged and weary man sitting on the steps of the Capitol, awaiting action by Congress on the Reapportionment bill. Below the cartoon the american said The New York American, perhaps the leading one of the Hearst papers, has discovered that there is such an instrument as the Constitution of the United States. In a recent issue it sought to rebuke Congress, by emphasizing the fact that there is a Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution as well as an Eighteenth. This fact was brought out in a striking cartoon, representing the Fourteenth Amendment as an aged and weary man sitting on the steps of the Capitol, awaiting action by Congress on the Reapportionment bill Below the cartoon the American said. Isn't the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution just as SACRED. Just as BINDING upon Congress as the Eighteenth Amendment? The Constitution declares that Representatives shall be apportioned every ten years, but since 1911 Congress has DELIBERATELY VIOLATED both the letter and spirit of this mandate. Instead of setting an obedience to the order of the land, Congress ELIMINATES it openly and then wonders why others show a contempt or disregard for other parts of the Constitution. Some States have MORE Representatives than they are by law entitled to; others are DE-PRIVED of their rightful representation. lose their jdbs if reapportionment were passed. Reapportionment has been waiting since 1911 at the doors of Congress. There he mis, forlorn, forsaken, forgotten, as Winsor McCay pictures him above, while his car hum with the sprites about the "sacredness of the Eighteenth Amendment." Some of those who shout loudest when the Eighteenth Amendment is mentioned are quite mum when the Fourteenth is brought up. Are Congressmen above the Constitution and a law unto themselves? This striking solicitude of the Hearst newspaper for the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment, in part at least, is a remarkable exhibition of offentery. The American totally ignores the preceding clauses of the amendment, which define citizenship and forbid any state to bridge the immunities of citizens of the United States. It also ignores the provision for the reduction of the representation of any state for abridgement of the right to vote to any of its citizens. The american should read some more of the constitution, especially the rest of the fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments and call upon Congress to enforce these amendments by appropriate legislation. The Hearst paper, masquerading in the role of a modern Columbus discovering the Constitution, is a picture to provoke smile from the most indulgent reader.

BETTER CITY DWELLINGS After deliberate consideration, Governor Roosevelt signed the Multiple Dwellings bill passed by the Legislature, which is designed to bring about certain improvements in living conditions in New York City. In approving the bill, the governor admitted that it was not perfect, but as through it an effort had been made to improve existing conditions, and met the approval of a substantial majority of the civic, business, welfare and charity organizations, owners, builders, architects and tenants, he signed it. The satisfaction of those organizations seeking greater improvements in the old tenements did not appear to him to be sufficient reason to reject the measure of relief afforded. The new law applies only to this city and it increases the fire-retarding requirements for old law tenements, besides foridding the maintenance of yard toilets. In new tenements various improvements are called for, such as more stairways and larger courts and yards. The distinction between the so-called apartment hotel and the legitimate apartment house is one away with. Tall buildings and towers are not forbidden, but they must hereafter be constructed on a larger base area, thus preventing streets from becoming more canyons. In converted dwellings the kitchenette when properly fire-retardal becomes legal, which solves a vexed problem for the owners of this class of buildings. The real estate interests accepted the bill as offering opportunities to exercise greater flexibility in construction, by permitting a wider choice of materials, and greater supply of light and air. While the bill did not embody everything desired, by these interests, it should bring about better conditions in the old law tenements. It has given a practical and reasonable solution to the apartment hotel problem, besides legalizing the converted dwelling, brought about by the change in living conditions. While the bill has become a law, it will require some little time for its value to be demonstrated as a means for the improvement of present living conditions in old law tenements. The city administration opposed it as being against the principle of home rule, but did nothing to remedy the conditions complained of, which could not be reached under the old tenement house law. The need for some measure to make these old tenements more safe and sanitary is urgent. If powers given city officials to do this under the new bill, it should be exercised as readily as possible.

HOME WORK AND STUDY The new rule which is intended to restrict the amount of home work required in pupils in the public schools was greeted with much approval by those affected by its operation. Those who were still obliged to give several hours of the afternoon or night to the solving of arithmetical problems or the memorizing of passages of history or rhetoric were by no means reconciled to their exemption from the workings of the new rule.

Most of the parents joined in the vote of approval and allowed that the younger generation needed more time for fresh air and outdoor exercise. One indignant parent could not see why home work was assigned to the pupils at all. He thought it was only a teacher's device to shift over some of her work on the parent, who was expected to help the pupil to grapple with problems of men and engines which worked at differing rates of speed. He insisted that with the proper use of school buildings and school hours home work would THE AGE READERS' FORUM THE AGE READERS' FORUM are not adjusted so as to afford space for one or two children to prepare their school lessons. In order to have a table for their books and proper light for their task, the rest of the family is practically driven out of the small apartment, unless there is a spare room unoccupied. And such rooms are too valuable to remain long in that state. Then there is a certain amount of quiet required in order that the children may not be disturbed at their lessons, which puts a restraint on the rest of the family. It may result in the parents and the older members going out to the movies, when they would sooner have spent a quiet evening in the home, un- THE AGE REA Says "Harlem" Degrades Editor of The New York Age. I am a faithful reader of The New York Age and I consider it as one of our race's greatest Negro Journals; I also consider The New York Age as one of the Negro's greatest helping hands in the advancement of our great race. I am writing this article to The New York Age because I know it will be taken into consideration. The Negro race of today is coming to a standard that is being recognized all over the world financially, politically socially, racially and theatrically, but I am basing my subject on the theatrical point. After attending the colored show called "Harlem," I consider it is the most degrading show ever produced by colored artists. Instead of it being something to help raise the race's name in the theatrical world, it is putting the black man down where the white man wants him. The profane language, filthy dancing, in fact the most common and lowest type of every thing used in that filthy drama, is helping to lower our grace's standard which the black man has striven so hard to raise since slavery. I do hope this article published for the benefit of The New York Age readers will be taken to consideration and mind that author's attention and that show, "Harlens," and have it demolished off Broadway. If the black man cannot give the public the best that is in them, the worst should not be allowed to be given by a few ignorant degenerates, lowering our racial pride. What Kept Editor Smith Editor New York Age Our answer to The Ages question—"What kept editor Harry C Smith out of the frays"—having reference to the splendid light two of our local women made, recently before a Council committee investigating unfairness in the appointment of persons who had taken city civil service appointments, were eligible and yet were ignored is this Cleveland has three Afro-American councilmen and a member of the city civil service commission who are expected to or least look for a position in the council particularly. The commissioner was present in the hearing but not one of the councilmen Editor Harry C. Smith was not in attendance because he had no knowledge of the "battle" until the two ladies came to his office to tell him of it. Then too, it was the commitment duty he would have usurped had he knowledge of the meeting held and knowledge of the "battle" he would have done. This then undoubtedly would have presented. They are city, officials, the writer is not HARR) C SMITH Cleveland, O. The Rising Race New York Herald Tribune Almost suddenly the white world has awakened to a respect for the Negro as an artist which is adding the more deliberate campaign to win him respect as a human being. Negro plays are successes, North and South, in an otherwise dull theatrical season; Negro lectures are making inroads upon the British monopoly of the women's club lecture field, Negro music, from jazza to Spirituals, has stagnated the country. It is impossible to trace direct relationship between these phenomena and a change in race attitudes, but that there is a growing change in race attitude no one can doubt, the University of North Carolina, in the University of Dixie, had leaders of lectures by Negroes; in the North, Bryn Mawr, Hobart and Connecticut College for Women have for the first time opened their doors to colored students; interracial meetings are of common occurrence in the large cities of the South. In this change the Urban League, like its most militant confrase, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has played a significant part. The eighteenth annual report of its activities—ranging from parent-teacher meetings in Richmond, parks for Negroes in Louisville and Jacksonville, more jobs opened to colored workers in Chicago, to Boy Scouts in Baltimore, interpersonal meetings promoted North and South tendencies to canalize the flow of Negro labor and research, the actual power of the Negro realms—a useful force. A decade hence its influence will be even more obvious than today. Foreign visitors realize more than we who are used to it the grave problem created by the existence of ten million second-class citizens of this Republic. That there has been so little violence in the voxed by the prospect of the weary students seeking assistance in their task of absorbing knowledge. When the amount of home work required is excessive; as happens in some cases, the physical and mental growth of the child suffers from too much confinement over books and lessons. The growing human being needs a certain amount of play and relaxation. When this amount is reduced below the minimum, the whole system is bound to feel the effect. The lessening of the amount of home work required should encourage the mental and physical development of the child. Real study should be done in the school room under the guidance of an instructor. tion between the two races is a tribute to both, but particularly, perhaps, to the darker, and the work of the Urban League is one of the most reassuring pledges for the future. Prejudices and Logic (From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph). Representative George M Pritchard, Republican, of North Carolina has refused to occupy quarters in the House Office building next to Representative DePriest, Republican of Illinois, because Representative DePriest is a Negro and Representative Pritchard is a white man Pritchard had been assigned room DE Priest and had been assigned room 1M2 in the office Pritchard wired his secretary in close up the office and wait until he got to Washington Suppose Mr. Pritchard pursues his antipathy to the Negro to its logical conclusion. In the first place, his party is the party that has pretended to do so much for the Negro Mr. Pritchard will probably rationalize his conduct by contending that while he likes the Negro in the abstract, he does not like him in the concrete. At least if he is honest he will say that his adherence to the Republican party in no way binds him even to the polite to the Negro or to refrain from wounding his feelings by giving out a telegram that would do that. DePrithead has been elected to the House. He is entitled to an office in the House building if Mr. Pritchard, is logical, he will contend that the Jim Crow law ought to be applied to the whole building and that, therefore, if DePrithead has an office there, he will refuse to take one. As a member of the House, DePriest will take his meals in the House restaurant in the Capitol basement, as will Representative Pritchard. If Pritchard is logical, he will refuse to eat in the same restaurant with DePriest and will therefore go hungry. As a member of the House, Pritchard is under the necessity, under the rules of sitting not only in the same hall but probably in the same row, since all Republicans sit together, with DePriest. If he is logical, he will refuse to sit in the same hall or speak in the same hall with DePriest. As a member of the House, Pritchard is subject to its rules and one rule provides absolutely and inexorably that in referring to DePriest in debate, Pritchard must call him "the gentleman from Illinois." Now, of course, the representative from North Carolina will not do that, but he would if he were logical. The logical thing for him to do would be to resign, but of course, again, he will not do that. Logic has no place in the mind of a man who carries his prejudices as far as Prudence does. For Colored Business Men (Winston-Balem, N. O. Journal) Soon after Booker T. Washington had opened Tuskegee Institute, a delegation of students came to him with a protest "Our people have been working all these years What we want is an education And you put us to work again" That was what was on their minds Booker Washington told the protestants that there was a vast difference in being worked and working for oneself. They saw the point. Washington's idea was to train big people to work to be more efficient workers and thus help them themselves and their own race. He did not ignore talent. If a boy was of the stuff to become a doctor, Washington was for giving him a chance. If another boy was more suited to lay bricks Washington was for making him a bricklayer Washington forewors clearly that as his people developed and gained intellectual and financial strength, there would he need for colored business men. So in 1900 he organized the National Negro Business Man's League to help the Negro develop their own commercial enterprise. The Jacksonington's idea has been amply venerated during the twenty-eight years that this league has been growing and expanding. Negro merchants in Winston-Salem, and the entire Negro population as well, are now going to benefit directly and distinctly from this league. Negro grocers of the city are going to have a chance to learn a good deal about their business. A series of lectures will be given before the Iconomics class in Winston-Salem, which will deal with cooperative buying, advertisising and other important phases of merchandising. These lectures will be given by an eminent authority on the subject—Albion L. Holsey, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, and also secretary of the National Negro-business Association. "The Textile Strike in the Carolina" was the subject of editorial comment in the Baltimore Herald and Commonwealth in the following strain: Ever since the cotton mills turned southward the walking delegate has been busy trying to win workers in their section. The one great obstacle to successfully proselyting the workers in the industrial plants of the cotton states was the impressive menace of the more than three million underpaid Negro workers ready to take their places if they walked out. These millions of black workers, always the footnote of labor, always compete, the lowest forms of labor for the least wage their black shadow athwart the path of the walking delegate who might seek to stir up hatred and bitterness among the mill workers against their employers. Negro men and women were discriminated against and excluded from employment in the mills. Senator Blease of South Carolina only a few weeks ago declared that Negroes were not employed in the mills "because they were hulled to sleep by the hum of the machinery." The Senator knew that he was only talking to the gallery and as usual trying to tie himself in stronger with that class of voters on whom he depends for support and to whom abuse or ridicule of the Negro makes a ready appeal. Senator Blease knew that Negroes are not employed in the cotton mills because of their color. Whether they will still be discriminated against because of their color notwithstanding their known read adaptation to every form of labor, their docility, their absolute faithfulness and loyalty to their employers in every stress, will be a matter of history which will bear record of the capability, and competence in that regard of the mills executives. The record of the Southern cotton mill owners as exploiters of white labor is not calculated to recommend them as employers or black labor Larging the justice of more pay for the school teachers, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said The colored school teachers of Norfolk, if alert to their own interests and the best interests of the thousands, whom they must teach, will neither lose time nor lack lack or in trying up their case with the agitation recently given impetus for increase of pay for the white teachers. Certainly, the agitation for increased pay of local teachers in the public schools, white and colored, ought to and doubtless will, command the whole hearted sympathy and support of the entire public. Here is a group of public servants who are shamefully underpaid. In fact what America does out to its teaching force, especially in the South, is a reproach upon our sense of duty to our children. Yet the pay of the white teachers, though wholly and unjustly incommensurate with their responsibilities is far above the average of the colored teacher holding the same classification and doing the same grade of work. In fact, candidly speaking, the maximum pay for colored school teachers of Norfolk holding college degrees, considering the fact that they receive pay for their education, are scarcely equivalent to what the average truck driver can earn. It matters not what academic equipment our teachers carry, when they are thrown in contact with teachers of Maryland, West Virginia and the District of Columbia, they are at a humiliating disadvantage in comparison to pay. The inadequacy of the pay given to colored teachers in the South is only one of the deficiencies due to the uniary apportionment of school funds. Noting the reaction of the Negro press upon President Hoover's Southern policy the Philadelphia Christian Recorder ingenuously remarked Mr Hoover appears to be seeking to put the Republican Party in the hands of white people and to release the Negro. Some of our papers think this will not be a bad thing Others think it is more reproducible. There is a division of opinion. Only time can tell. As the Republican Party has been in the South it has not been a very great deal of good to the race in general. While it has filled the pool of a few and given a few of them prominence, we have attempted to bring out the Negro vote. Whatever will bring out the Negro vote will be best for the Negro. The Negro hasn't got into the habit of voting in the South. He does not understand just what the whole political matter is. He does not understand how he can use the vote to help himself. All that he has gotten out of politics is to give a few certain offices to certain Negro men. This is good as far as it has gone, but it has not been enough. If the division of the vote in the South is to mean that there will be two bidding parties in the South, each bidding for Negro vote, we believe that we shall in time say that Mr. Hoover is a Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, who has ably carried on the idea in the National Negro Business Men's League, will come to deliver addresses on these themes. Other authorities will speak. This will be an invaluable opportunity for colored business men of the city, and every one of them should plan to derive all the benefits from it he can WEVE SEEN 'EM The old road to Hell has a detour lined with parked automobiles. ANSWERED AT LAST Why should the SPIRIT of mortal be proud of it, what will now Saturday, April 27, 1928 wiser statesman than many of us think now. The religious editor evidently takes a broader view of politics than some of the politicians. Discussing the subject of "Promotion and the Negro," the Cleveland Call and Post asserted that so far, the Jones lioness law has done nothing more than raise the price of bootleg liquor. It added. The peculiarities of the 'volunteer law have been salvation for many Negroes in northern cities. Migrants from Dixie, finding prices for life's necessities almost fabulous in parison to what they pay in the south, have resorted to satisfying the nation's thirst in order to keep body and soul together. Prohibition has aidd the city Negro economically, but not in the way the reformers anticipated, if you get what we mean. Bootlegging has been the means of many a Negro purchasing a six flat building and making other legal investments. We have noticed the Michigan habitual criminal act in operation and have seen that possession or sale of a pint of liquor under its provisions has no more severe penalty than the most reputable murder in that state, life imprisonment being the punishment met out in that state, an Adrian Pace with William Edwards an Adrian Pace with William Edwards, faces life in jail because to the sale of a quart of whiskey, all thus far convicted have been poor people, and we believe the Jones' law will merely imprison the poor Caucasian and the Negro. The Cleveland editor concluded that convictions under the Jones law will encourage bootlegging in stead of stopping it, the officers being the small white bootleger and the Negro who is forced to engage in the forbidden traffic to keep body and soul together Announcing that the legal night against the Richmond segregation ordinance will be opened by an application for an injunction before Judge Grother at Norfolk April 12 at the Richmond Planet said. There has been a growing delusion that if the rights and privileges of white people are curtailed and denied that the rights and privileges of colored people can be similarly denied with impunity. That is to say that if an innocent man is subjected to helpless punishment, he has no legal right to voice a complaint in such an instance to be a white man in the cell next to him in similar injustice. The ridiculous nature of this position is evident upon its face. To deny white people their property rights is no just reason to deny colored people their property rights simply because white people do not come forward and voice their complaints and appear before the court to make their complaints. Service submission to writing will lead to the degeneracy of the person or people practicing, whether the race be white or black, civilized or uncivilized. That is rather a remarkable utterance, though the logic of it appagant, as the ordinance in question may affect the property rights of citizens of both races. Expatating upon the business opportunities that remain open awaiting the development of leadership in business, the Washington foreword said: The Florida avenue-street section of nine or ten blocks offers the men or women who can develop this leadership a wonderful opportunity to apply their knowledge and ability in more than a dozen in which there would be practically no competition We are credited with having a population of 127 600 Negroes in the District. Just think of a city with a population of that size with a banks of less than a million dollars in resources, not a single store nor a furniture store, a handful of small groceries, not a hardware store, nor a clothing store no partment store, not a steam machine no manfactories of any kind not even a creamer or ice cream plant. Can you conceive of such a city. Such is the plight of Negro Washington. All of these could and should be operation in this fast growing city. Less than a half million dollars would be sufficient to our business that we have mentioned. How many of our forthcoming graduates of Howard University and the normal and high schools of the city could find employment therein? As it goes, where will they go and what will they find for the investment of a half million dollars in the lines mentioned would come into the millions of dollars. A shoe store with modern equipment and dependable shoes should thrive on U street. A capital on $10,000 would make a fine showing in a shoe store here. A capital on $15,000 would establish a creditable furniture store here. A hardware and auto accessories could be started and maintained on $15,000. A clothing store would report about $20,000. A fine steam laundry could be launched for $25,000. A general book store would take up $10,000. A gentle furnishings could do well on $15,000. Our process and drug stores would be far more formidable and be able to meet petition by entering a chain of forming one of their own in the manufacturing field. The whole mut is an open possibility here 127,600 people need routine and use everything and anything that is made. Why not get our share of the work and the profits from manufacturing? It is the same condition that is found in Harlem and other large centers of Negro population. Individual initiative and cooperative effort help solve the problem.

Fourth of the six American Negro League clubs swing into action on Saturday when the Cuban Stars play the Black Sox in Baltimore the Lincoln Giants meet Clan Darden in suburbau Philadelphia. On Sunday the Bacharach Giants travel from Atlantic City to New York to help the Lincoln Giants open the season at Protectory Oval On the following Saturday the Homestead Grays will have a be-lated opening with B Giants as their foemen. Forty games are scheduled for each club during the first half which will end on July 4. Because the Cubans have no home grounds as yet the schedule will be slightly unbalanced. Five members of the Cuban Stars came to this country in an airplane from Santo Dopingo and joined the main body of the team in Jacksonville Manager Pomerpe predicted that Oms will lead the league in batting this year. All of the Hildale players have reported except Bizz Mackey who is supposed to be in Honolulu President Bolden says that Mackey will be suspended without pay for an ample day as he is absent Ball players are going to obey league mandates this year and how? It is expected that Cockrell, veteran member of the team, will be on the mound for Hildale, Mitchell, recruit catcher, will be behind the bat, Britt, Jackson, Dhigo and Judy Johnson will guard the unfield with Dallard, Charleston and Holloway as the garden patrol. To oppose them Manager John Henry Lloyd will send Nip Winters, Connie Rector or Bill Holland to the mound with Gee or Spearman as receiver. The infield shows Hudspeth, Scales, Yancy and Riggins.

Basketball is the major sport at Smith and Miss Pickens is ranked as the best basketball player in the school. Smith College has a student body of more than 2,000 and, with only three colored students. Because of the comparatively small student body, this is an unusual honor for Miss Pickens.

THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER Jules Bledsoe of the "Show Boat" Co., Bill Robinson and Ada Ward of Lew Leslie's "Blackbird Co." were on the bill last Sunday night for the N. V. A. Benefit at the Metropolitan Opera House, and was a big hit. Garland Howard and Jesse Shipp's "Darktown Affairs" opened Monday at the Werba's Theatre, Brooklyn, N. Y. and from all reports they have got a good show. Messon Around by James Johnson and Perry Bradford open Monday at the Hudson Theatre, and went over good. Special mention was made of Miss Monette Moore and how she put over her songs. Porgy, now playing at His Majesty's Theatre, in London, England, is a big hit. They took eleven curtain calls on the opening night. All the press and critics acclaim the production at a stirring achievement. THE NEW YORK AGE Morgan College Players Entered In The Little Theatre Tournament The year's tournament of "little theatres"—the seventh annual event of the kind—will be held May 6 at the Waldorf Theatre. Among the entries is the Morgan College Dramatic Club of Baltimore who recently presented a program of three one-act plays at the Alhambra Theatre. The Morgan College players will appear in the tournament in the comedy, "The Man Who Died at Twelve O'clock," by Paul Green winner of the Pulitzer prize and other honors, Prof. Randolph Edmunds of Morgan College, who is the director of the players, has the assistance of the Alhambra Theatre staff in the matter of scenery and properties required for their play "Harlem" To Move To Times Square Theatre "Harten" and its cast of sixy odd players will move only one doo down 42nd street instead of two. As previously announced, the play of the black belt must vacate its present quarters, the Apollo, because of an existing contract with a picture company. The Lyric was a first possibility, but the producer. Edward A. Blatt, finally accepted the Times Square Theatre next door, which was recently left dark by the removal of "The Front Page." "Harlem" therefore will begin its tenancy of the Times Square on Monday, April 29 Emil Jannings At The New Douglass Theatre One of the most notable casts ever assembled in a motion picture will be seen supporting Emil Jannings in his new film production "Sins of the Fathers" which will be shown at the New Douglas Theatre this coming Saturday, Sunday and Monday. "Sins of the Fathers" presents Jannings in his greatest role—that of a saloonkeeper who became a wealthy bootlegger and whose adventures lead him through hell itself. The supporting cast includes Ruth Chatterton, a well known stage star who steals Jannings away from his wife, which role is portrayed by Zasu Pitts, Matthew Betz is the "menace" in the story, Jean Arthur acts as Jannings's daughter while Barry Norton, who will be remembered as the "mama's boy" of "What Price Glory" acts as the son. A great cast and a great story combine to make "Sins of the Fathers" a film worth seeing.

"Messm' Around" Opens At The Hudson Theatre "Messiah Around," presented by Loula Isquith, opened at the Hudson Theatre on 44th street, Monday evening, April 23, before a good crowd. For one expecting something like Low Leslie's "Blackbirds," this was sadly disappointed the show, with Jimmy Johnson and lyrics by Perry Drardson were good. The dancing was staged by Kiddle Rector. The show opened with the prologue by Sterling Grant and was followed by a Harlam street scene. Until Hilda Perleno and Sterling Grant came on the scene and sang Voices All I Can See, the show was uninterrupted and mediocre. The audience brought the pair out three times with encounters of the nummer which hides far to become a popular hit. Two comedians, Laurin and James Thompson, followed by a skit that was called This was followed by a "Dice" number, "Get Away From My Window" by Audrey Thomas and by McLairn which ended with the audience and they too were forced Scene 9 was a song "I Need You" by Lena Shadney and Louis Graddock quickly followed by the song William Williams, the next scene gaggy camp fire scene with fortune telling by Olive Bell, Sterling Grant and Hilda Perleno. Ball Laurin and James Perleno put this on no dance. Another song "Don't Love Nobody" with Audrey Thomas doing the stairlark work was good. The comedians worked with impressive grenouille dance steps. It included the "Porsy" number of "Blackbirds" Part 2 appended with a cappella with Danben McCarter and dance stops with Frank Lloyd doing a strong man act and song by Paul Floyd and chorus. The two comedians helped to brighten the air of "Hing It!" This was a pretty good Scene 9 was an excellent fight with Emma Maitland and Aurora Wheedlin as the principal and fighters, and they made a big bit with the audience. The well-known gruppu was the referee. The girls put on a tight uniform and donated the fighters to the professional fighters. They slugged each other and when they finished they must have been exhausted for they were very faint. Wheedlin was beaten by a aplastic. The seconds were Bella McLairn and Slim Thompson. The next scene was very good but of keeping up with the order of Clint Moore. Three Harmony Sisters gave a good account of themselves with Negro Spirituals and the audience gave the last scene was a cabaret scene with Sterling Grant as master of cereonica.

THEATRE 42nd Street West of Broadway Mats Wed and Sat Evenings 8 50 "Poor Little Shop-Girl!" the drama at the Alhambra Theatre this week, is called "a true story of a human soul behind the bargain counter. Edna Harris is the beautiful sales-girl with whom the son of the owner of the department store falls deeply in love. The store owner is played by George Randol, and the son by Ted Blackmon. A designing woman, played by State Sutton, seeks to wreck the romance of the young couple by "planting" a dinosaur necklace in the girl's clean hall bedroom so that the store detective will find it there. In a unique way, the bold plot is disclosed and the young lovers triumph over the conspirators. "Race Track Reyels," the musical comedy has jockeys, bookmakers, plunging bettors and racing pony girls. Sandy Burns is hacked up by Amon Davis, Speedy Wilson, George Wiltshire, Manda Randolph and others in providing the fun. Popular Alto Oates and Tillie Marshall are newcomers to the Alhambra, adding characteristic song numbers to the triple program.

Circuit. This puts five of the seven theatres catering to colored patronage in Harlem under one management. Leo Brecher is head of the operating company which controls these five Harlem theatres and Frank Schiffman, who made the Lafayette a big success, after years of failure and indifferent success, is the general manager. Mr Schiffman will have supervision over the affairs of all five Harlem Theatres but will make his headquarters at The Lafayette. "The Carnation Kid" At The Renaissance "The Carnation Kid" which stars Douglas MacLean in a Paramount-Christie production featuring talking sequences is claimed to have the widest range of sets and locations seen to date in a talking picture. The film opens Saturday, April 27th, at the Renaissance theatre and continues for five days. To illustrate how the talking pictures have gotten out of the stage of simple talking scenes all of which take place in a few rooms. the new production has settings in a drawing room of a fast-moving Pullman railroad car, the offices of a political boss, the home of a district attorney, the audience and the stage of a theatre; two different apartments in a hotel, a jail and police chief's office, a night club with its main and adjoining rooms, railroad stations, the lawn of a suburban home and various city streets where more action takes place. Thus it may be seen that the range of talking pictures has advanced far in the last few months. DISHED UP. A knitting affray was narrowly avoided in Three Forks.

WATSON, DESIGNER OF YMCA WORK IN SOUTH CALIFORNIA ROLAND HAYES' RECITAL AT CARNEGIE HALL BRINGS $2,000 TO AID YERGAN IN HIS YMCA WORK IN SOUTH AFRICA Now understanding the wintry rain, which fell in copious quantity at concert-goeling time Sunday night, April 21, the spacious reach of Carnegie Hall were filled to utmost capacity for the third and final concert this season of Roland Hayes, distinguished tenor. Not only was every seat sold, even to crowding the stage to an unprecedented extent, but "standing room only" tickets were exhausted long time for the program to start. The audience was rather different from the regular concert audiences at Carnegie Hall, a bird's eye view of the boxes disclosing that many of them were occupied by groups of well-known colored men and women, many of whom are not in the habit of attending concerts at Carnegie Hall, even when Roland Hayes is the attraction. There was a reason for this, of course. Appealed to some time ago by Dr Channing H Tobias, senior secretary of Y M C. A work among colored men, under the Nation's Board, for some contribution toward the work of Max Yergan, Y M C. A secretary, at Fort Hare, Cape Province, South Africa, Mr. Hays through his concert management, tendered the receipts from the sale of all the boxes, the first and second tiers at Carnegie on the sale of the result, as the result of this liberal offer, a general committee with F A. Johnson as chairman, W H Wortham, vice-chairman, was organized and took up the work of disposing of 63 boxes in the two tiers, the only condition placed by Mr Hayes being that all of the boxes should be sold. Dr Tobias as manager, with Henry C Parker Jr., of the West 135th street Y M C. A as secretary, enlisted local newspaper men and women as a public committee and the campaign started. Members of the general committee, in addition to the officers, National W Y C A Board, director of work among colored women, I C Carter A Coburn A L Comither, E T Colton, Mrs Belle Davis, Mrs Lena V. DeFrantz, R H DeFrantz, Mrs Graves, R P Hamm, Mrs Elizabeth Hayme, H Hayme, H Hayme, John Hobert, H Hobert, Kable Joel, Jesse Jones, Mrs James Weldon Johnson, Dr Robert R Minton, Mrs P M Murray, John E. Nail, M P. Roberts, Mrs reea C Saunders, Dr Wm, Jay Schiefelcu, Phonus E. Taylor, Watt Ires, Mrs Mary C Tobias, W R Valentine and Mrs Suyton Witham The public city committee was composed of Mrs Geraldn Dismond, hairman, Mrs Bessie Bearden, Floyd J. Calvin, George W Harris, Noth D. Thompson, Lester A. Walton, Lucien H White and H Bayard Whitney In the effort to dispose of the entire number of boxes, Prof. Car- lton Columbia University secured four boxes for students and teach- ment that institution, Mrs Hamilton secured five boxes for friends in oklyn, a number of boxes were disposed of through the office of D George E Haynes of the Federal Council of Churches, and boxes are secured by parties from New Orleans, Montreal, Summit, New Jersey City, N.Y. White Plains and Braniffell Manor, N.B. Bodgeport, Philadelphia and Boston. The local people responsible for box parties were Dr. and Mrs. H. Dismond, R. W. Bullock, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wortham, Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Watt Terry, Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Brantzr, Dr. and Mrs. Channing H. Tobias, and Mrs. M. F. Jones, Slade Robert, H. Lester, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence H.

There were eight chars in each box, and seats in the 30 first boxes were $5 each, $40 for the whole box; while 33 boxes in the second tier were $3, $24 for the entire box. In consequence, since all were sold, the total paid admissions for the boxes amounted to $2.024 this sale being for a charitable purpose, the Y. M. C. A was granted exemption, which would have amounted to $117. As this reduced the expense to approximately $83, the net contribution from Roland Hayes to the Max Yergan-School Fund will approximate $1.941, and this may be increased to $2,000. The parquet, dress circle and balcony were retained by the Roland Hayes management, and tickets for these sections, and for the stage and standing room, were disposed of in the usual way through the box office. And many of the regular balconies at Carnegie Hall incerts were unable to secure seats on the stage. But while the audience lacked somewhat of the usual cultural sophistication of the regular concert-goer, it in no way lacked in enthusiasm, even to the extent of a premature burst of applause when Hayes was in the midst of the Water Box* offered as an entrance. This might have been caused, to some extent, by the presence in the audience of Avery Robinson, arranger of the song, who was introduced by the singer prior to rendering the song. For this recital Mr Hayes offered a program made up principally of favorite numbers which had been asked for by admirers, who had left in written requests. Even so, there were some unfamiliar aids, particularly among the Spirituals, but their unfamiliarity detracted from their charm. And Mr Hayes seemed inspired by his audience. Seldom has there been so polished a smoothness in his mezza voice, or so resonant a oblique in his forte passages. In the singing of airs by Ronconcion and had there been unusual artistry of utterance, with meticulous fidelity accent. This was emphasized in English airs by Handel and Purcell in the Beethoven aria, 'Adelaide', which was also sung in English. In a group of German heder by Schubert, Schumann and Brahms, the tenor was particularly effective, and the tender and thrilling strains der jungling an der querle" by Schubert caused the audience to demand its repetition. It was at the close of this group that the work, Water Boy, was given, and upon the continued applause which woken the singer shared honors again with the composer, who was forced to rise from his seat in the front row and bow his applause. The final group, all Negro spirituals, included "Wade in the garden" by Boaters; "I want two wings" (new) and "Campionan" for which Mr. Hayes was responsible, "Deep River" by which had to be repeated, "Newborn again" (new) by Hellen and "Were you there" (unaccompanied). But the audience received leave until they lied heard Burleigh's "Go down, Moses" and being low, sweet chariot, and were demanding more as the lights becked and died out. The accompaniments were played with rare distinction by Rival Parham of Boston, who has been with Mr. Hayes during seasons recitals. Mr Hayes leaves shortly for summer engagements in Europe, but will probably return for another series of conducting the next season. His engagements this season have taken from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Boston to Florida. MR. AND MRS. WATSON, DESPITE HANDICAPS, APPEAR IN RECITAL outstanding threatening screw that later turned into a dull rain was their second appearance in New York recital, and it is that so sequest their behalf that was made under circumstances would have ordinarily neglected a postponement. Mrs had been in for five weeks, admitted the doctors have able to diagnose, and bed on the first recital class before recital sequence of her role would be unable to appear all the arrangements for Mr. Watson, a severe tax upon Mr. Watson, both physically and but in his anxiety to keep his friends, and with out of Mrs. Watson's phys- concert was given.

The program, as stated last week in this column, was ambitions in its proportions and taxing under the most favorable condition. In his opening number "Comfort to my people" and "Every valley shall be execlled" from Handel's oratorio "Messiah", Mr Watson essayed a task that called for the utmost erotic off his technical equipment. Her displayed a well developed breath control, carrying on through the long and difficult curvature passages with fair success. And throughout the rest of the program, they as a student a well developed technique. The deep physical and mental strain was disguisable in a nervousness that manifested itself through an inability to clear up the vocal passages resulting in smothered tones, almost huxley in timbre, in most of numbers. The singing of Mrs. Watson notwithstanding her weakened physical condition, evidenced her postsession at a voice of nice quality and amoillot in her lyricity, his politeness, and roundness. The next joint recital by Mr. and Mrs. Watson will be looked forward to with interest. The accompaniments were satisfactorily and sympathetically played by Miss Lydia Mason SEDALIA SINGERS IN FINE CONCERT AT TOWN HALL Students Sing and Dance Before Appreciative New York Audience The Palmer Memorial Institute of Sedalia, N.

The singers displayed pleasing and effective tone combinations, fresh and fun voices, and an enthusiastic cooperation. Their singing evidenced careful training and direction, and they were developed to the point that they rendered their numbers without need of a conductor. The opening group by the ensemble comprised two Spirituals, "Gomma na pray right on dat shore" and "King Jesus is a listenin" after which the boys' quartet sang "Until the dawn" and "Dist train" Then a piano solo was played by Jona than Bruce. The male octet sang with good effect in the folk song "Massas in the cold ground ground" and "Deep River" by Burleigh, and then the girls' quartet rendered "Orphan Annie" by Parks and "Good night, good night, Beloved." by Pinsut concluding the first part of the program. Part II consisted of three folk dances by the group of eight boys and girls "Old Man's Hop," "Swing along, chillin'" and "Cotton needs pickin'." It was a nimble and agile exhibition, particularly on part of the leading girl whose dancing ability this semester above the average. This young miss, with a boy partner, gave by special request a Russian folk dance. Then Mrs Brown the principal made a 15-minute talk on the work being done at Palmer Memorial with a special appeal for support and help from the people of New York.

Scholarship Fund For Late Cornella Lampton Miss Worraine A. Shurland of 98 Horton avenue, New Rochelle, N.Y. a former student of the piano under the late Cornella Derrick Lampton Dawson, is suggesting that a fitting memorial to the work of her former teacher would be the establishment of a scholarship fund to be devoted to the musical education of a worthy young student at the Howard University Conservatory of Music. The suggestion is a splendid one and should echo the sympathetic support of musicians in all sections of the country, both those who knew of Cornella Lampton's work and those who knew of her only by reputation. It is a fine thing that the mentions accomplishments of workers should be kept in the minds of those who come after, and it is to be hoped that Miss Shurland's suggestion will meet with a hearty response. Believing that the many friends and admirers comprising the intelligence of our race will be able to remember the memory and brilliant attunements of the late lamented Cornella Derrick Lampton Dawson, youngest daughter of the late Bishop Lampton, this appeal for scholarship fund in her honor is made to a generous public. "Cornella Lampton was recognized as one of our most distinguished pianists, appearing in recital in many sections of the country, winning the highest praise from teachers, including such celebrities as Percy Grainger, Roy Tibbs, Glenn D. Gunn, critics and the press. She was a true musician in every sense of the word, and an altogether lovely charming character. In her death, our race sustained a great loss that we show our appreciation of her by doing what we can to carry on the work to which she devoted her life, having begun her studies at the tender age of five years, working diligently and successfully until the close, at the early age of 32. "She was a graduate of Howard, Oberlin and Jullillard Schools of Music. The object of this appeal is to establish a scholarship at Howard University for some worthy student in the program, meant to be known as the Cornellia Lampton Scholarship, in her honor and to help elevate our youth, hoping for a generous response to this worthy cause."

Music Festival At Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee Institute, Ala—In connection with the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, the choir and student body of Tuskegee Institute presented on Saturday evening, April 6, an interesting program entitled, "An Evening of Negro Folk Music," beginning with the primitive song and dance of Africa. The program was so arranged as to trace the development of Negro music from its African origin through the developed songs of such composers as Steven Foote down to the finished and more sophisticated arrangements of the familiar spirituals by such Negro composers as Nathaniel Dett, Rosamond Johnson, N. Clark Smith, Henry Burleigh and others. While the whole interpretation was both informing and inspiring (to the highest degree, there were portions of it that stood out in both conception and execution. Notably among these was the singing of work songs by a group of Negro student boys. The Negro still sings as he works and these boys with their tools and in their working working garb gave a vivid portrayal of how these songs not only lightened the burden of the workers' tasks but actually speeded up the job. The job was a hard one, and the quartet, the choir and the magnificent student chorus under the direction of Portia Washington Pittman was at all times stirring and at some times almost sublime. Acquilla Jones Plays Piano At Spelman Acquilla Jones Plays Piano At Spelman By IRENE DOBBS Atlanta, Ga.-Spelman College presented Aquilla Jones in piano recital on April 7. Howe Memo- nal Chapel, Miss Jones, a member of the class of 1929 and a pupil of Kemper Harreld, exhibited a finely developed control of the keyboard and a sensitiveness of touch and mood quite beyond the understanding of an ordinary planist. The program included representa- tive numbers from the works of both classic and modern composers; Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Palmgren, MacDowell, Cyril Scott and Lissat By opening with Mozart's Turik ish March as transcribed by Pintel and playing through the three joyous movements in the Beethoven Sonata in E, Miss Jones successfully installed herself in the musical mind of the audience First impressions were strength- ened as the Schubert Impromptu in A Flat and the Chopin valves Piano, Voice, Pipe Organ, Theory. Studio: 880 St. Nicholas Ave. Phone Bradhurst 6010 Apt. 26 were rendered. The Improvisation proved to be one of Miss Jenkins most genuinely artistic interpretations of the afternoon. In the modern group, MacDowall's Concert Etude was particularly noteworthy. The taxing denzz-like passages and the involved theme were handled with exceptional dexterity and resilience of tone Miss Jones closed her program with Gondolitera and the Hungabaran Rhapodice No. 2 by Liszt, making a brilliant finale. The Hungabaran Rhapodice gave an orchestra tral effect at times, which is more to be wondered at when it is remembered that Miss Jones is of noticeably slender build. At the overwhelming response accorded this number, Miss Jones played as encore "Marec Grotesque," by Sinding. The Morehouse College Gles Club assisted Miss Jones with a splendid rendition of Lleurence "The Angelus."

For the last two weeks, members of the institution of railroad men have been all agog over their annual spring frolic, an event which is always with pleasure by the membership.

But, then, no one demonstrate the marks of age at a dance frolic. Cert it at one of these Pullman Porters Club affairs. Ex his frolic. This might be said to be a rule. It may but it really seems to be the routine. However, the following verse, taken from the circulars, may give some idea of what is expected There are other tips besides dimes, quarters and half-dollars that are commanding the attention of the members of the Pullman Porters Club just now. For the last two weeks, members of this widely known institution of railroad men have been all agog over preparations for their annual spring frole, an event which is always looked forward to with pleasure by the membership. At the club's home, 105 West 136th street, applications are pouring in daily for compartments, drawing rooms, and, in some instances, just plain berths on the "Golden Night Special," which the club will run to its festal station on Friday evening, May 3rd. This station will be the Renaissance Casino; and the tip that is being passed from the members to their friends is "make your reservations now." According to the officials in charge of the "Special," the festal train's stops will include all the principal way stations in Harlem, but this will not deter it from making its schedule time of 500 miles in 300 minutes, a record of joy riding far in excess of that made by patrons of either the Pennsylvania Railroad's Broadway Limited or the New York Central's 20th Century Flyer. Friends who do not care to travel so fast may take other means of reaching the casino, said one of these officials. William H. Bowe, the young and affable president of the club, who looks after the comfort of passengers on the Pennsylvania lines, will be the conductor of the frolic train; George N. Spencer, whose handsome picture adorns this column, and who helps to prepare those succulent dishes which the Pennsylvania Railroad dining department furnishes, will be its Casey Jones, although, in justice to the debonair George, it might be added, he is not likely to come to grief as did old Casey. Moreover, he has not the inclination to roam from hearth and fireside as did the veteran Jones. Others who will make up the operating crew of the "Golden Night Special" will be that popular dance promoter, James L. Perkins, who has the reputation among friends of being full of flaming youth, despite an appearance of sedateness. He is to be Spencer's fireman. Last, but not least, of the crew will be Thomas E. Richardson, the flagman, a former president of the club, and the man who is credited with making the organization's home one of the most modern club houses in Harlem. In actuality, the features mentioned will merely be the sixteenth May dance of the club. Ever since its establishment, the organization has held a reception in spring which it calls its May Frolic. And the event usually is made to fit the title. The old as well as the young members turn out to these affairs; and it is somewhat difficult to tell during the evening which are the older members. Of course, should a visit be made around to the club quarters the day after, the difficulty would be less perplexing. But, then, no one is supposed to demonstrate the marks of age at a dance frolic. Certainly, no one does it at one of these Pullman Porters Club affairs. Every member does his frolic. This might be said to be a rule. It may not be obligatory, but it really seems to be the routine. However, the following verse, taken from the club's invitational circulars, may give some idea of what is expected of each member: "And the night shall be filled with music And the cares that infest the day, Shall fold their tents like Arabs, And as silently steal away." But apart from the purely frivolous side of the activities, it has a record of achievement which is secretharlem. In the sixteen years of its existence it has stipitation that is as widely known among railroad men. Pullman. It is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific Stream to the banks of the Yukon as being the fund for Negro railroad men in the country. It is nothing a porter who has traveled within these reaches and having met some railroad man in a distant locality know about the Pullman Porter's Club. Another commendable thing about it is this: you hundred dollars a day for fun and amusement, but not you gamble away within its doors. This has been a club ever since its beginning, and that rule has been through the years. Furthermore, these are not its only claims to our others. It is an economic factor in the community spends more than $300 a month with the merchants alone. In addition to that, it has a monthly pay-out of three men stewards, it employs a woman looks after the clerical duties of the club. A member pay-his dues does not have to wait for the meeting the member has to do in many organizations, but his payments at any time to this secretary and she wields the proper manner. The club also has a system of bookkeeping which This is regularly by a committee which is appointed. The lady secretary, as well as all officers of the club are bonded. Mrs. I. M. Clair, who is station, has been in the employ of the association for there is nothing about its business that she doesn't become about as "indispensable to the affairs of the resident." Like all organizations, of course, the club has hisate experiences. These however have been turned they have helped the members, that is, the older against a repetition of them. Taking it on the whitenation that is a creditable achievement of, for and by and other railroad workers. Amorgi's honorary members are some of Harleigh well known business and professional citizens. A. C. H. Vanny; C. H Waters; C J D Kemp, Aldermer W. B. Mitchell; W C Perry; Rév. J W. Brow. A. Gibbs and Drs. U. C. Vincent H. J. Oliver. The officers of the club are W H Bowe, presi st vice president; R. N. Ashe, JR vice-president treasurer; C. H. Brooks, financial secretary and Cecing secretary. But apart from the purely frivolous side of the organization's activities, it has a record of achievement which is second to no club in Harlem. In the sixteen years of its existence it has established an institution that is as widely known among railroad men as the name of Pullman. It is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf Stream to the banks of the Yukon as being the finest equipped home for Negro railroad men in the country. It is nothing strange to meet a porter who has traveled within these reaches and who will tell of having met some railroad man in a distant locality who wanted to know about the Pullman Porter's Club. Another commendable thing about it is this: you may spend one hundred dollars a day for fun and amusement, but not one penny may you gamble away within its doors. This has been a strict rule of the club ever since its beginning, and that rule has been strictly maintained through the years. Furthermore, these are not its only claims to distinction. There are others. It is an economic factor in the community of Harlem. It spends more than $300 a month with the merchants of this community alone. In addition to that, it has a monthly payrole of over $350. Outside of the men stewards, it employs a woman secretary who looks after the clerical duties of the club. A member who desires to pay his dues does not have to wait for the meetings of the club, as the member has to do in many organizations, but he may present his payments at any time to this secretary and she will record them in the proper manner. The club also has a system of bookkeeping which is easy to audit. This is done regularly by a committee which is appointed by the president. The lady secretary, as well as all officers handling the funds of the club are bonded. Mrs. I. M. Clair, who is the lady in question, has been in the employ of the association for the last seven years. There is nothing about its business that she doesn't know. She has become about as "indispensable to the affairs of the club as is its president." Like all organizations, of course, the club has had some unfortunate experiences. These however have been turned to account, for they have helped the members, that is, the older members, to guard against a repetition of them. Taking it on the whole, this is an institution that is a creditable achievement of, for and by Pullman porters and other railroad workers. Among its honorary members are some of Harlem and Brooklyn's well known business and professional citizens. A few of these are: C. H. Vann; C'H Waters; C J D Kemp, Alderman Fred R Moore; C W. B. Mitchell; W C Perry; Rw J. W. Brown; J L Madocer; A. Gibbs and Drs. U. C. Vincent H. J. Oliver, G B Oliver The officers of the club are W H Bowe, president; E. Bennett, 1st vice-president; R. N. Ashe, Jtl vice-president; C H. Gardiner, treasurer; C H. Brooks, financial secretary and Cecil Morgan, recording secretary A REAL BON VIVANT Frank A. Palaccio, who died in this city on S. was born in Trussville in the trust sense of the word. The fact that he was only a railroad attendant truth of the inspection. But in being a lover of the he so carried himself that his predilutions were no fensive. In fact, they attracted instead of repelled For many years, indeed, for more years than Frank Palaccio was a figure in the social and freer ordered residents of this city. Several decades ago, wives of these citizens centered around Fifty-third one really had to go to a dancing school to be a ballroom floor to dance, he was a great lover and of ballroom dancing. And how he did enjoy those of the lancers, quadrille, schottische and yorke. It was a dance hall in West 53rd street, opposite the Hotel, in which was held a dancing class each night had its class, and, it might be said, Frank A. Palaccio, who died in this city on Saturday, April 13, was a boyfriend in the truest sense of the word. The fact that he was only a railroad attendant, doesn't alter the truth of the assertion. But in being a lover of the good things of life, he so carried himself that his predications were never vulgar nor offensive. In fact, they attracted instead of repelled. For many years, indeed, for more years than can be recalled, Frank Palaccio was a figure in the social and fraternal life of the colored residents of this city. Several decades ago, when the social activities of these citizens centered around Fifty-third street, and when one really had to go to a dancing school to be able to get onto a ballroom floor to dance, he was a great lover and exponent of the art of ballroom dancing. And how he did enjoy those numble gyrations of the lancers, guarille, schottische and yorke. In those days, there was a dance hall in West 53rd street, opposite the old Marshall-Lett Hotel, in which was held a dancing class each evening of the week. Each night had its class, and, it might be said, its particular set. Tuesday evenings were the night on which the "Upper Tens," as they were called in those days, held away at the little social center. You might have gone there on other evenings, but never would you meet the same people that were there on Tuesday nights. On Tuesday nights one could always count on meeting Palaccio at the hall. Cabaret, the movies and the night clubs were unknown products then. Therefore, dancing classes and picnics in the summer, at the old Harlem River Casino, were the only places of harmless pleasure for the youths of that era. The passing of Palaccio brings back most poignantly to memory those days. It was a rare occasion to miss his face at any of the affairs that had the mark of class to them. As a fraternal man, he was always at his best when the old Ivanhoe Commandery would hold its annual dress drill and dance. With their neat-fitting blue coats and white trousers, pressed to the point of needles, this Masonic unit-was a treat to behold at those yearly affairs. In recent years, Palaccio's social activities were confined to the Alumni Club. Several days before the last affair of this club was held, he said to the writer, "Jamesy, he always called me by that name, this is going to be our best dance." And it was. Coincidently, it turned out to be his last. He enjoyed life, but he did so without violating the canons of good taste. He was a real bonvivant, if there ever was one. Who will be the engineer of the P. P. C. Golden Night Special. Trusted Honest Looks Of Stranger, Bag Gone John Perkins, a Pullman car porter from Chicago seems to judge a man's honesty by the looks of his face. Sometimes he age him a man in Chicago, who said he was from New York, and who looked as hoistess as the man who would not tell a lie about cutting down "the little cherry tree." Perkins made a trip from Chicago to California, and returned by the way of New York. He decided to leave the Pennsylvania station and take in a few of the sights of Harlem before making his return trip to Chicago. On Fifth avenue he met this honest man whom he had met in Chicago. Perkins gave the man his hand bag containing his uniform, a scarf and a jacket to take the man's room. He also wanted to be a good sport and gave him a few dollar hills to buy a few eats. Perkins is still looking for the whereabouts of that honest looking man, and worried about his missing uniform and check Moral Beware of strangers.

Beginning work in the construction department in 1899, Talley was later transferred to the department of exchanges, and in 1924, after twenty-five years of outside service was given house service duty as janitor, which position he holds today. The sketch concludes "During his long term of service with the company he saved his money, bought and paid for a nice little home out on the edge of the city where he can keep chickens, a cow, hog and garden.

No leisurely gait for most of us. There's always a multitude of social and business things to do—with precious little time in which to do them. This is especially true in the Empire State, with nearly 12 million people. Nowhere in the world is swift, dependable telephone service more essential. New Yorkers may justly feel proud that their telephone service sets a standard for the world. Not merely good service—but one that gets better all the time. Take speed, for instance. Today, 60% of your calls to distant points go through in less than half the time it took five years ago—only 1.8 minutes, on the average, now. Calls to places within fifty miles are now ready for you in less than a minute on the average. And local calls—a matter of seconds. In other phases too, clearness, convenience and dependability—the service has made distinct advances year by year and month by month. Yet good as it is today, it cannot rest there. Telephone service must and will improve continuously, so that it will always meet the needs of New York's telephone users.
