Patton, a colored resident of Jackson, on joint trial with Howard and the others had been exonerated on Thursday by Judge Edwin R. Homes, who ordered the charge against Patter dismissed for lack of evidence incriminating him in the alleged conspiracy to violate the Patronage Act. Two white men, James G. Buchanan, former United States Marshal for the Southern District of Mississippi, and George McClelland, former postmaster at Newton, were the other two defendants acquitted with Howard Acquitted on Similar Charge. A similar charge had been brought against Howard and four others, and a trial at Jackson last December had resulted in acquittal of Howard and the other men. It is reported that the charges against Howard were instigated by Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, Assistant United States Attorneys, Washington after she had run into conflict with Howard who is Republican National Committeeman from Missouri, at the Republican National Convention at Kansas City last June, over the seating of a delegation and had been worsened in the encounter.

CARDUI Helps Women to Health DINING CAR EMPLOYEES IN SESSION IN NEW YORK THIS WEEK Dining Car Employees, Opens Its Session At Urban League Building "Each group of Negroes within its own sphere solving its own problems—regardless of what another group does, or fails to do—affords ultimate solution of the so-called race problem," declared Rienzi B. Lemus, grand president of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employes, in opening conference of the Grand Council, governing body of the dining car cooks-waiters' union at Urban League building, 202-206 West 136th street, here today, Saturday, May 4.

M. and 7 to 9 P. M. U. CONRAD VINCENT Founder and Director "You cannot, nor may any person or persons, bundle an entire race into a group in this country," Mr. Lemus maintained. "In proof whereof, I submit, we observe the sentencing of a multimillionaire—white, of course—to a common jail, where amassed white and black misdemeanors he will acquire jailbird commonality, despite whites and many millions; while on the other hand, we see thousands of healthy, happy colored men and women—many riding behind liveried chauffeurs—who move not on the same economic, and therefore social, plan as do most of us here assembled, and who therefore have nothing in common with us, except the human-philanthropic obligations of all more or less successful persons. Recognition of Manhood To contend," the dining car employees' chieftain continued, "that race and color make Negroes equal—as most of the professional 'raceologists' do—is to deny the very thing for which the struggle has been intense since Emancipation, namely, recognition of a man according to worth and merit, despite race! Moreover, it admits that a successful Negro is no better than a Negro criminal." Lemus argued that "this trying to make a group of the race means nothing if it does not mean that however successful a man a Negro passenger may be, he becomes the equal of one of us dining waiters the moment he sits at our table to be served by us—which would be absurd, if not pathetic!" Progress of Brotherhood. no further development of his argument, Mr. Lemus cited the progress and achievements of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees—among them, bringing about promotion of waiters to waitin- charge of cafe cars and to headwaiters, in lieu of assistant dining car conductors, on the Pennsylvania Railroad; the 8-hour day and overtime payment, previously unknown in dining car service, for members and others on big eastern railroads, much over 100 per cent, increases in wages; improvements in working conditions that defy calculations by ratios to estimate—all absolutely without the least assistance from socalled race leaders, or one押出 of 'outside' money—and Congressman Depriest doesn't even know of our existence; nor has the race question ever cropped out in any of our many conferences with real officials, North or South!" Lemus emphasized Achievements on Penn. R. R. cd. "your achievements on the Pennsylvania of themselves give ample reason and occasion for self-congratulation." He said: "Compared with the Pullman company, for instance, Pennsylvania is five times greater—measured by any yardstick" of corporate volume. You had but 1100 men to break down early resistance there in comparison with the ten times your number that the five times less powerful Pullman management now somewhat absurdly resists. Neither at this, nor at any time, has the general management of the Pennsylvania sought to impose the Pennsylvania's Railroad's 'employee-representation-plan upon you; and I incline to think—have reason to believe—the general officers of Pennsylvania—and all of the great rail properties whose dining car car folk are in your jurisdiction—now realize that they and we have common cause on behalf of clean, palatable, palliating, economic but adequate dining service to the American public!" The conference was called to order by Vice Grand President C R Harper, New York. Other active brotherhood officials in attendance included Vice Grand Presidents S. Nicholas, New York; J. R. L. Johnson, Boston; W. H Estes, Atlanta; S M Scott, Cincinnati; Grand Trustees R. Whiting, New York; F. A West, Jersey City; C. F. Shaw, Boston; J. P. Covington, Washington, Local Presidents J. R.

The Harris were visiting Miss Vivian Lammert, sister of theirs and sister of the Laurinburg Institute. Both teachers and students of the Laurinburg Institute have fond memories, on Mrs. Thomas, because of the hearty welcome given Principal and Mrs. I. M. McDunne when they came to North Carolina in 1904 to found the Laurinburg Institute. Mr. Thomas with his years of experience did much in pointing Principal McDunne on his way, while Mrs. Thomas gave Mrs. McDuffie much motherly advice. A happy time it was when Mrs. Thomas chanced to meet them again and note the work that has been accomplished by their ambition, people whom thought they would begin to bring such a task and face life so squarrely as these pioneers have done. Rev. W. T. Currie pastor, Oak Ridge Baptist Church, St. Paul, N.C. was in Laurinburg last week and spent a few hours on the institute campus looking through the plant.

If a verdict rendered by a Mississippi jury of white men is worth anything at all, Patry W. Howard has been doubly acquitted of violating any law for bidding the sale of Federal patronage. Although in this second trial, which ended last Friday at Meridian, the jury took six hours for deliberation, it failed to find evidence sufficient to convict Howard and those indicted with him guilty of conspiracy to violate the patronage law. This second acquittal seems to show a determination on the part of Mississippi white men not to aid the administration in its effort to displace Howard as a National Committeeman. It is regrettable that the effort of the Hoover administration to end the alleged reprehensible practice of disposing of Federal positions, such as postmasters and marshals, to the highest bidder, should thus go astray, but the conduct of the Howard prosecution was not of a nature to justify belief in its good faith It looked more like an effort to eliminate Howard from the National Committee than a movement to purify Southern politics. The fact that an alleged Lilywhite Republican was brought to prosecute Howard, gave support to this theory White Mississippians saw no reason why they should help to further such a scheme to set up a Lilywhite Republican organization in the state. This furor raised over the alleged sale of Federal patronage in the South is marked by too much hypocrisy and color discrimination to induce the belief that it was started in good faith. According to report, the practice of levying assessments upon Federal appointees has been long established and furnished the only means of raising campaign funds in that section. Those who got the offices paid the tax with more or less reluctance, especially if they were Democrats, which often happened. The practice was not confined to the colored committeemen, if participated in by them at all, and one has been cleared twice by white juries, while the other emerged with a clean bill of health from department investigation. But, why pick on these two colored leaders only, when similar charger were preferred against white leaders, some of whom were themselves Presidential appointees? The Brookhart Senate committee uncovered enough evidence to warrant the indictment and trial of several Southern white Republicans on similar charges of violating the Federal patronage law, but the Department of Justice seems to have concentrated its efforts upon Perry Howard, with but little success. The sale of federal patronage should of course be discountenanced as immical to good government. The fact should not be ignored, however, that it is not a crime peculiar to colored political leaders. Nor is it confined to Southern states. It is only a few years ago that several leading white politicians were convicted in Queens county upon the charge of selling a judicial nomination. Graft and political corruption know no color lines. If the administration is making a genuine effort to purify Southern politics, it must cease to proceed on the assumption, that the only crooks are colored men who happen to be members of the Republican National Committee. Even white juries in Mississippi will not swallow that gag. GIVEN HIS OWN MEDICINE some time in March it appears that Senator Heflin of Alabama, whose speech it is to rant against the Pope, announce all Catholics, went to Brooklyn, the state of Massachusetts, to make speech under the auspices of the Ku Klux Klan.

Even the glacial Senator from Idaho, Borah lectured him on the impropriety of which he had been guilty and the unreasonableness of expecting the Senate to espouse the cause of religious intolerance, in which he was engaged in at Brockton. Senator Borah's rebuke of Helfin's exhibition of himself was deserved, and even held to be a little tardy in its delivery, as it might have been given some months ago when Bruce of Maryland was the only Senator who took issue with his intolerant colleague from Alabama. London Office: Gorringe's Agency, No. 17 Green Street, Leicester, Square, London, W. C. 2. Address all letters and make all checks and money order payable to THE NEW YORK AGE THE MOST UNSAFE COUNTRY. We have had it positively stated, upon the authority of President Hoover, that life and property are relatively more unsafe in the United States than in any other civilized country in the world. This is an astounding admission to come from the head of the nation, which through its Congress and the various state legislatures, is continually grinding out laws, until no one is able to tell the total that lies buried in the statute books. That life and property are and have been unsafe for any race or group of people proscribed by prejudice and intolerance, has long been a standing disgrace to the pretensions of the United States, as a land of liberty and a refuge for the oppressed of other nations. But this pretence has been wiped out by the President's honest admission of the lack of respect for law and order. While we wholly agree with the main conclusion as to the prevalence of lawlessness in the United States, which President Hoover made before a gathering of the members of the Associated Press, in New York City, there were some other statements that were open to question. The fact that a surprising number of people have drifted into the notion that laws are made for those who choose to obey them, may be attributed to the lack of public sentiment back of a multitude of the laws put upon the books and the consequent laxity of enforcement. The example of a large section of the country conspicuously defying and resisting the enforcement of the fundamental laws of the nation, as set forth in the war amendments to the Constitution, is not calculated to inspire respect for other laws. The further spectacle of passive sufferance of this contempt and defiance of constitutional law by the various branches of the government responsible for its enforcement, is an additional reason why respect for laws of all kinds is fading. Mr. Hoover, despite his general and specific knowledge of the attitude of previous administrations and the people at large toward these amendments, laid down the dictum that no individual has the right to determine what law shall be obeyed. He repeated the stereotyped saying that if the law is wrong, its rigid enforcement is the surest guaranty of its repeal. That rule does not always work, at least in this country. Many a law is practically annulled by the force of public opinion and the failure of acquiescent or corrupt officials to enforce it. And, sometimes, in the case of unjust laws that violate the sense of justice, resistance to their enforcement is the only practicable method of arousing sentiment against them. This was shown in the case of Anthony Burns and his recapture in Boston under the drastic provisions of the Fugitive Slave law, over sixty years, when some of the most respected citizens of that city counseled resistance to the law and protested loudly and impressively against its execution. Enforcement of the law is logical and imperative upon those who have undertaken the task of executing it, but there must be a remedy for unjust laws that are put upon the statute books, as well as for unjust judges, who not infrequently are placed upon the bench. Both of these misfits should be removed with expedition and dispatch. It is an overdose of laws and a lack of enforcement that has helped to increase the ingrained and acquired disrespect of the people of this country for any law at all The passage of the Eighteenth amendment and the adoption of the Volstead act, created a new set of crimes and misdemeanors out of conduct that had been legitimized by law and custom since the foundation of the republic. This contributed to the general dissatisfaction created by the drastic terms of prohibitory legislation, and with the enormous profits arising from the bootleg traffic brought about the present corrupt and anomalous conditions. But the lack of respect for law as law goes further back than that, and one of the factors promoting it has been the ignoring of the constitutional titement of religious and racial intolerance and the breeding of hatred among those of different races or religions. When in the course of such a mission he becomes a mark for mob violence, he is only reaping the legitimate harvest of the seeds he sowed. It is with exceeding ill grace that he should ask the Senate to take up his fight against the Catholic church or any group that has excited his animosity. He who appeals to the mob, must expect the mob to answer him. If it happens to be a mob of another stripe, that is his risk. It is well, for the doctor to try his own medicine at times, especially if he is something of a quack. PREJUDICE ON STAGE AND SCREEN. The protest made by the American Jewish Committee against the presentation of the Freiburg Passion Play, at the slippodrome, is significant of the importance that is being attached nowadays to the depiction of various races on the stage and screen, in terms of ridicule or appreciation. When protest was made by members of the Negro race against the production of "The Birth of a Nation" as tending to promote intolerance and increase race hatred, there was a disposition in many quarters to poohpooh the objection. While some city authorities banned the film, in other places including New York, it was allowed with some trifling changes. Since then we have had a protest by the Irish element in this city against such film productions as "The Cohens and the Kellys." on the ground that they held the Irish race up to ridicule. An attempt was made to have an ordinance passed by the Board of Aldermen, in general terms forbidding the production of any play or film, aspersing or ridiculing any race or group of people, but for some unknown reason it was buried in committee. Now come the Jews with a vehement protest against this Passion play. According to Louis Marshall, president of the committee making the protest, the presentation of this play would be an act of "astounding heartlessness on the part of an American Jew, leading to the stirring of anti-Jewish prejudice." He urged Morris Gest, spokesman of the production, to cancel its performances where Mr. Gest refused to do this, saying that he preferred the first night audience and the critics to pass judgment. As an earnest of his determination to prevent the presentation, Mr. Marshall referred to a section of the Penal Code which prohibits page representation of "living characters representing the Divine Person." That Mr. Marshall is very much in earnest, was shown by the language he employed in a written protest sent to Mr. Gest on the first announcement of the production.

As an earnest of his determination to prevent the presentation, Mr. Marshall referred to a section of the Penal Code which prohibits stage representation of "living characters representing the Divine Person." That Mr. Marshall is very much in earnest, was shown by the language he employed in a written protest sent to Mr. Gest on the first announcement of the production. "I am confident," he wrote, "that if this play is enacted it will, as all plays of this kind do result in a recrudescence of anti-Semitism. That has been the story of Oberammergau and of the recent motion picture 'The King of Kings.' The average theatre goer is emotional, does not possess an accurate historic background and is not capable of differentiating between fact and fiction." The Jewish people, as you know, have suffered for centuries from the reaction occasioned by plays of this character. Moreover, there are millions of good Christians who believe the presentation of such a play is a subjugation of what they regard as sacred. Why should you give offense to this rejection sentiment? Why should you a Jew, contribute to the dissemination of illwill and hatred against your own people? Why should you furnish material to our ignorant defamers and add fuel to the flame of prejudice and bigotry. It is interesting to observe the importance attached by so powerful a group as the Jewish element of this metropolis to representation on the stage and screen. The members of the Negro race who protested some years ago against such films as "The Birth of a Nation," appear to have set a precedent which has moved other races to similar action. And yet, the producers of that notorious film It is interesting to observe the importance attached by so powerful a group as the Jewish element of this metropolis to misrepresentation on the stage and screen. The members of the Negro race who protested some years ago against such films as "The Birth of a Nation," appear to have set a precedent which has moved other races to similar action. And yet, the producers of that notorious film were so anxious to obtain the publicity consequent upon such protests, that they deliberately sent out literature to prominent members of the race in order to arouse such public protest. While the average theatre-goer and film-spectator may be emotional and influenced unfavorably against the subjects of such misrepresentation these emotions are apt to be temporary and subside upon the appearance of a new film on a different subject. We doubt of the lasting effects of such films are as harmful as most of us are apt to believe. SHAKESPEARE AND ALDRIDGE. The passing of the three hundred and sixty-fifth birthday of William Shakespeare last week called attention to the fact that the raising of the funds to rebuild and endow the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre at Stratford-on-Avon has been most successful. The American Shakespeare Foundation which cooperated with the British committee, reported over eight hundred thousand dollars to lacted in this country, of which Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. gave two hundred and fifty thousand. A book, six feet high by four feet broad, records the names of all American donors. It was, taken all over the country and this summer will be sent to Stratford-on-Avon, to become a part of the Shakespeare library. Many American colleges are endowing chairs for the new Memorial Theatre at one thousand dollars each, in memory of some prominent American. The American committee reported that a new one had been promised last Tuesday, Shakespeare's birthday, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. A canvass, by that organization had raised one thousand dollars to endow "The Ira Aldridge Memorial Chair," in THE AGE READERS' FORUM A Significant Meeting Editor of the New York Age. Many persons have realized that we are moving forward to a new day of racial achievement and recognition. Apart from the work of organization, propagandists and orators, there seems to be something awakening in the conscience of the American people, where, after all, their problems must be solved. Certainly the bitterness of cynicism might have been neutralized by any one who witnessed two events of the past week in the nation's capital. The eighth annual convention of the American National Red Cross was in session. The plenary sessions were held in the Chamber of Commerce. The round table conferences were in the Cocoran Gallery of Art. Delegates came from nearly every state of the United States. Thirty-eight from New York, one from California, one from Louisiana and one from Mississippi Two young men arrived from Alabama, and Judge Emilio del Toro, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, came to bring greetings from Porto Rico. Among these hundreds of delegates moved eight colored students, all from the District of Columbia. These students from Porto Rico, High School, two from the Carrera High School, and two delegates with two alternates from the Dunbar Hreh School. Mrs. Ora W. Spivey was in charge of the Technical students, Mrs H O Jackson chaperoned those from Dumon There was nothing lacking in the cordiality of treatment given these students. Lumchees were served and eaten happily together, but rides were arranged and carried out, speeches were made from the same platforms and the applause was as Heart, as that for the other. The War Department arranged a special exhibition by the United WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA By The Age Special Correspondent In one of my recent notes I have drawn the attention of readers to the statement that Earl Winterton recently made in the House of Commons that he will be prepared to take sterner measures against the Gandhi's movement of the boycott of British goods and now he stands thoroughly exposed before the civilized world that to sofeguard the interest of the Lancashire industrialists and not of the British workers, he will leave no stone unturned to nip Gandhi's movement in the bud. But thanks to India's stars, that he arrested Gandhi and his gallant band of selfless workers, who would give a fitting reply to his leadership making boycott movement a success. Will the British conrades now raise their heads against British imperialism that wants to keep India under perpetual domination to satisfy the lust of the greedy capitalists, who are running their own industries at the expense of their own workers? India's Position Humiliating. The burden which helpless India has to bear in contributing an enormous sum every year for the upkeep of the League of Nations at Geneva and the humiliating position in which she finds herself in being amongst the fifty-six nations represented at the League, the only nation which is not represented by any of its own nationals as head of the Indian delegation but by a foreigner, have evoked warm protest time and again in this country in the central legislatures. But the supreme indifference of the Government of India to these protests continues and is indicative of the attitude which demands that India must be exploited as a subject nation. Mr Graham stated in reply in an interpellation in the Council of State that the net contribution of India to the League last three years amounted to 39.28 000 gold francs. What benefit did India receive in return for this huge drain upon its revenues? Even officialdom will be at a loss to point to any real benefit. One third of the sum wasted at Geneva, would have, if spent in India on education helped internally in advancing Indian literacy. . memory of the famous Negro actor who won his greatest distinction in 1883 at Covent Garden in London, when he played Othello to the Iago of Edmund Kean, the leading English actor of that period. As color prejudice prevented Aldridge from making many appearances on the stage in this country, most of his honors were won in Europe. At one time he visited France where he was entertained at a fete by Alexander Dumas, the famous French author. This memorial to Ira Aldridge, in connection with the birthday of the English dramatist, of whose work he was an interpreter, is a graceful tribute to a pioneer artist of the race in the drama. In this day of greater opportunity, it is interesting to speculate what niche in the dramatic field he would have attained. DERS' FORUM States 'Army Air Corps especially by the giant plane "Question Mark" Our students showed great interest and knowledge, at these air maneuvers. In the buses, which drove them to Bolling Field, they "lifted up their voices and sang with the other delegates. At the White House reception they were photographed with President and Mrs. Hoover. What those students heard that week, the contacts they formed and the uplifted vision they received, made upon them what we believe will be an indelible impression. The Dunbar delegates were Laura Lee and Mavis Wormley. The alternates were Virginia Leigh and Charles Lofton On the day following the closing of this convention, finals were held, for the National Oratorical Contest. Speeches were delivered by students from all the Washington. D.C. high schools, from all over Maryland and from a part of Virginia. Among the judges were the Speaker of the House, Nicholas Longworth, and Representative Ruth Bryan Owen. The contest for the District of Columbia and third place in the entire Maryland, Virginia and District area, was won by Charles Thomas, a 16-year old Negro boy, a student at Dunbar High School. And so we realize that when youth is allowed to meet youth, the problems will be solved. HALLIE E QUEEN Wide Information Enclosed please find $2.00 on my subscription for the coming year. The wide scope of information I receive as well as the very important advanced ideas on our greatest statesmen makes it impossible for me to be without The New York Age JOHN WALLACE New Rochelle, N Y S FROM INDIA The Three Sinners The following illuminating remarks regarding night work in factories for women and children appear in the "Annual Review" and Forecast of the Textile World for February 2nd. They ought to make the followers of Miss Mayo in her own country see the beam in her own eyes alone like her sulgary hiding fault with the mote elsewhere. The Journal says "Night work for women and children in Japanese textile mills will be prohibited by Imperial Edict on and after July 1 1929. Thereafter and until such time as they see fit to change their women policies. The State China policy will be the only important textile countries of the world having social standards permitting the exploiting of women and children on all night shifts. Let it be noted that in the case of India, it is not her people who desire this exploitation. They have through their legislatures, repeatedly protested against it, but it is the Government of India who are candidly indifferent to the popular appeal. The result is that helpless India has the misfortune to be included amongst the three sinners There Must Be Something In It When a book has a circulation of more than 3,000,000 copies and has been read by more than 5,000,000 persons, there must be something in it. That is the record made by the Handbook for Boys of the Boy Scouts of America, the most widely read book for boys in the world and required to have an annual circulation in excess of every American book excepting the world circulation of the Bible. The esteem with which the Boy Scout Movement is held in this country and abroad is in a great measure due to boy practices the book learned in Handbook for Boys. As it are recorded the ideals and rules of the Scout Movement. To a boy reader it is a book of romantism, inspiration and information. The book is produced after long study. --- Under the heading of Tinkham's Fundamentallam, the Boston Chronicle cited his letter to President Hoover, urging consideration of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, with the following recommendations: Mr. Tinkham has always been a champion of Negroes in their fight for their political rights. He belongs to the rapidly diminishing corps of New Englanders who have ever since the founding of Massachusetts Bay Colony labored and struggled on behalf of weak and oppressed people notably. Negroes of such age as his were the well-wishers of Frederick Douglass. His chivalrous actions recall the traditions of old New England, when such orators and statesmen as Wendell Phillips, Ellery Channing, and Charles Sumner gave their talent to help the Negro. The suggestion of Mr. Tinkham should not be shelved by Mr. Hoover, because an eminently practical engineer as he is, should see the profligacy with which huge sums are spent to enforce Prohibition, forced upon the nation by the moral Peckniffs of the late Confederacy. Mr Hoover should recommend the matter of enforcing Amendments which have to do with such highly important things as citizenship and political rights to his national investigation committee. He should not waste the nation's fruits of Republican prosperity in a vain effort to carry out Woodrovian excesses, which are calculated to impair the rights of all the citizens to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When such diverse interests, as the Hearst press and a New England Congressman, urge enforcement of the Fourteenth amendment, there must be some latent power in that section of the Constitution. If an article on "The Changing South," in the St. Luke Herald of Richmond Frank R Crosswash reached the following conclusion The rapid transition of the South from a sector sparingly inhabited by cheap labor, by unaspiring, contented backwoodsmen and mountaineers who found in Foundamentalism, in corn liquor—and in an occasional lynching—the only surcease from their brutal exploitation and simple, primitive life, into a modern industrial community of workers struggling for a more equitable share of their labor, will in the long run prove to be the beginning of that reconciliation of the races devoutly to be desired and for the realization it which many individuals of both races have so long and so earnestly labored In his recent address before the workers assembled at Elizabethton, Tenn., to protest the kidnapping of two labor organizers, President Green of the A F. of L., pleaded with, the South in the interest of tolerance, justice and fair play for the striking textile workers. He also attacked "mob psychology." His reference to "mob psychology" indicates that the leaders of organized labor now realize that mobocracy is not alone an enemy to the peaceful progress of labor but is also the weapon with which labor defeats its own ends and by which the employing class triumphs. Anything that brings about a more general realization of the menace of mobocracy to the whole community is to be counted a gain The proposition for the establishment of a Negro public hospital in Cincinnati has aroused much discussion, according to the Cincinnati Union, which said. The project was seemingly a product of white officials, but a visit of a committee from the Inter-Denominational Alliance, showed that "in the woodpile" was a gentleman, sad to say of our own nationality. The committee that saw Col. Sherrell were Ross Brown, Hill Wright and Page. A lengthy discussion ensured. The pastors present vowed their disapproval in no uncertain tones, and backed it with good logic. The Colonel was very courteous. He sent upstairs for the head of the Public Welfare Department Mr Fred H. Hoehler, who stated that "Resolutions had been received from the Negro doctors, who were desirous of having a hospital, that the Negro Civic Welfare Association was also in favor of it, and a number of colored determine what would most help boys to help themselves' Leading educators, over a period of many years, considered the problem and co-operated in the compilation of a book which would at once interest and instruct boys and at the same time direct their activities along lines in keeping with the Boy Scout program in character building and citizenship training From Japan, Alaska, from the Philippines, orders have come for the Handbook for Boys. Down on the continent of Antarctica, where Commander Byrd's expedition is writing history the knowledge contained in the Handbook for Boys is standing Paul Siple, the Boy Scout member of the Byd crew, in good stead. It was the lessons he learned from scouting as revealed in the Handbook for Boys that gave this husky Amer an lad the background which enabled Commander Byrd to select him as one of the members of his crew. He is an outstanding member Commander Byrd has reported by radio. If you want a book that will fill the leisure time of your boy with useful activity and put into his mind ideals that are truly American, get him a copy of the Handbook for Boys. He will likely consider it one of the fun gifts that he has ever received. citizens endorsed the movement "Our colored citizens see with anger, and dismay the great black cloud of segregation that is hovering over this city. Were white citizens "unity of all the unchristian and unconstitutional propaganda, we could not too severely condemn it, and more bravely oppose it. But think of it coming from Negroes, who for the sake of cash, sell the souls of their children; Judas was a Jesse's intimation. Why bring into a free state like Ohio the pernicious practices of the slave states? Editor Dabney closed his scathing condemnation of the project by saying that if the city backed a segregated hospital, "then good-bye to Negro patients at the $5,000,000 institution which we are all, by taxation, helping to maintain." Referring to a story concerning the Safe Bus Company of Winston-Salem, which is owned and operated by members of the race, the Carolina Times of Durham said editorially: The story as related by a Carolina Times reporter of our Winston-Salem office tells how the company has developed until today it operates forty-two busses in the city of Winston-Salem and one other for trips outside of the city. Here is a concrete example of cooperation, and the men who comprise its official staff are worthy of commendation. The fact that the company employs more than sixty members of the race bespeaks the importance of the organization in the community in which it is located. The example of the Safe Bus Company should be followed by other enterprises owned and operated by Negroes. The trend of all business institutions of any note today is toward mergers and consolidations. There is the secret of strength, and the race might as well learn the lesson. It cannot continue as a parasite, depending on the other fellow to build its churches, schools and business institutions As an example of the opportunities to be found in the business of transportation, the success of this bus enterprise is significant. Asserting that Dr Osler's little joke, as to the desirability of chloro-forming men at the age of sixty, did a lot of harm, the Star of Zion said. A large number of people took him seriously, when he was only making a crack at his old friend. But the joke has had a bad effect upon many middle-aged men, and employers of labor: The average business man wants a maximum of work with a minimum of pay, and, under the spell of Oslerism, seeks youth to serve him. But men are not old at the age that the jesting Osler said they should be chloroformed. Decryptide is not an incapable influence when they cannot extricate themselves from the cannot extricate an expression of neglect, we told. Men do not take care of their health. They are often intemperate in eating, drinking, working playing and even in resting. A story is told that during Napoleons' Russian campaign, there was, in the French army, a Polish officer, named General Zagorschek. He was about eighty years old. In a battle just after the troops had crossed the Beresina his leg was smashed by a cannon ball, rupturing an artery. Larrey, the famous surgeon was called by Napoleon to see the spot. Under the enemy fire, in a heavy snow storm with the temperature about zero, he amputated the general's leg through the thigh, tied up the artery and sent him of a sledge to Vina and Warsaw where he healed well and to be eighty six or eighty-seven. We are informed by competent medical authorities that instances of great physical resistance and vitality are fairly common, and these manifestations of extraordinary vitality cannot be regarded as freaks or nature. It largely depends upon the care taken of the body. That story cannot be regarded as a strong argument for the old age pension movement, which is being advocated in many of the states. Pointing out what the merging of three local colleges means to Atlanta, the Atlanta Independent and Judging from the tone of the daily press and the space it gave the merging of the three Negro colleges into one giant university, with more than $2,000,000 in resources at its back, Atlanta does not realize what the merger means to the city and the South cultural and economic advancement. It cannot be that our daily press is intolerant of Negro progress and ethicism. Otherwise, that it cannot commend to the public and ask its support to a million dollar enterprise when it comes to town because of benefits Negroes. The consolidation of Merchants and Spellman College with Atlanta University means more people have more business for our merchants more traffic for the railroads and street cars, and more work for labor. It means that the more now being spent in the North for professional university, and higher technical education by the Negro will be spent at the home in the graduate department of the big university system. Edition. Davis holds agreed that white Atlanta should and contribute a million dollars to this merger in the next ten years for the reason that it will help to build up Atlanta add to her population and speed up cars more industrial interest at the CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Grace Church of Harlem A large portion of the congregation of Grace Church came out to the morning service. Dr A C Garner was in the pulpit and read from Matthew Farrable of the "Sower and the seed," and as his theme, "The Context of the Weeds and the Forest." The session sent home was that the hearts are the fertile ground on which the seeds are sown, and full of life. The mass was checked by the tares detected, selfishness, jealousy, hypocrisy and falshood as to render the fertile ground useless. The choir gave fine service. The responses at beginning of the service were by the originator Hiro O Bornn. A meeting of the pastor, dean secretary, Sunday school superintendent, and the Sunday school teacher on last Wednesday evening, the best of the changing of the hour from 115 to 915 a.m. was brought up for discussion on the street on 915 a.m., and another notice. The evening service in charge of the deacons was an interesting one, instead of the usual sermon. Dr Garner gave a short talk and held a long and praise service. Mr. the spring really of the young people will be held at Broadway Tahemacle. It is hoped that large number of our young people will show their interest by attending.

"However, the laws of life. And are times when cruel words are spoken even by kind lips. He could not follow a leader who could only use honeyed words. The weakness and insincerity of such are easily felt. But the Master was a longing man. He was able ablute the lash and the beak like a God. He died on That was the world's "These truthful words, drawn from the tableau of their talents, were spoken with a purpose. They were necessary to teach a lesson. Underneath their seeming cruelty lay the lesson of improved opportunities. In the parable, there are described the three types of business men. The first two, representing the very thrifty and moderately successful business men, were the slothful, ungrateful servant lost even the one talent that had been given him merely because he had failed to improve his opportunity. "It is true that talents are un- equally individual to make the best of his allotment Opportunities vanish unless improved. In the field of finance, money that is invested wisely, increases while money that is squandered. Oliver and vanishes Oliver Wendell Holmes says, "Do not put trust in the Negro race should learn the lesson on improving opportunities by investing his money in the community, that it may multiply and do good in the intellectual world the mind that is cultivated will develop with continual use, while a slave will collect will deteriorate, if neglected. "However, true success cannot be measured by mind or money. Real success is learning the true art of living Christ has taught the fine art as no other leader has done. The great opportunity of life is walking with him. Our motives should be love and service. They guide posts of virtue Ashley—the great English borer factor. "The true Christian improves each opportunity to serve his fellow man. It matters not whether the allotment has been one talent or ten. At the end, the question will not be—How much have you done? but—How well have you performed each task assigned? Flowers for the altar were contained in Rose Carrington in memory of her mother, Mrs Emma Boxill, and by Mrs Alma H Rivers in memory of her husband, Gilbert E. Rivers. Last Thursda evening, a most enjoyable parish supper was served. The program was enjoyed by all present. There will be given a supper and Marian Festival Friday evening at 8:30 for the occasion. On Thursday, May 21, the first formal reception will be held at the New Star, Casino Union Baptist Church On Tuesday evening we saw a beautiful Biblical drama entitled "Jepithah Daughter."

We greeted we had with us Prophet Andrew Ione, of Philadelphia, who is warning the people of New York of the wrath to come. Sunday we had with us Dr. and Mrs. F. J. Echols of Buffalo, N. Y. and little Miss Doris Echols, and a quintet from the Shiloh Baptist Church of which Dr. Echols is pastor. Dr. Echols delivered a subject at A wheel in the Middle of a Wheel. The young ladies from Buffalo sang several very pleasing selections. Dr Echols spoke to the women in the afternoon on "A Woman's Place." At the evening service he spoke on "Live Creatures." Each fourth Sunday is our rally day. Through our special offer next Sunday evening we shall have with us Dr. E. W. Johnson of Philadelphia. Dr Johnson will also approach on Monday evening. St. Paul Bapt. Church The cantata entitled "The Cruscifixion" given by the Philharmonic Club of Nixon Music School, under auspices of the Willing Workers Club of the Church, on Thursday evening last, was a creditable effort, but the attendance, owing to the rain, was not as large as had been expected. Nevertheless there was a good chance of the address of the speaker, Mr H Thompson, is satisfied, under the circumstances, and thanks all who so willingly helped to make the cantata a success. Friday night prayer service was conducted by the gaster with a large number of members present. This meeting was a warm one spiritually, and one person was received into the fellowship of the church Sunday the weather was threatening from morning until in the afternoon, when it began to rain, and never ceased until away long in the night. Yet though the change had not affected punctuality of the attendance at the morning service the people turned out well. The pastor preached at the morning service in the Secret of a Church's Success, and at the close two persons came forward and united with the congregation to sing as soon as a new reception received her letter. The Sunday school held a session at the close of the service with a good attendance and the general superintendent, F. R. McRobbie, Miss Mary D. Moore. Please the efficient secretary was there with the minute read. The superintendent has sent the previous Sunday given out the budget for the church year all the departments were used. The amount the budget will raise. It would seem that the budget calls for $1,000 treat amount will be exceeded when the end of the year comes. In the afternoon President Edward Wells had prepared a special treat for other organizations to the public. Some of them, despite the down WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH pour of rain, were present; and, while the amount of money was not what had been hoped, yet the program in itself was an excellent one At the evening service the Order of the Star of the Sacrament held their annual thanksgiving service The pastor preached the sermon, which was enjoyed by those who heard it. We were glad to have this order with us, and, be it said to their credit, they turned out well, considering the rain Next week begins our fifth series of the sermon, the pastor preaching each night. Come these meetings and get fired up for Christian service. Concord Baptist Church At the 11 o'clock service Sunday morning, Rev. James B Adams stopped, when about two thirds of the way through with an unusual sermon on "Worship," made a appeal for those who wished to unite with the church, and seven men and two women came forward with out urging The sermon had been one of quality, making distinctions between zong to church, sitting through zong to church, giving gymnasium in the pew and posing real thing called worship, which necessitated a true condition of the heart or spirit, Mr. Adams said BAPTIST THE NEW ABSYSSINIAN BAPSTEST CHURCH. 138th, between Street 7th & 8th, Agosz, public worship with preaching on public worship with preaching Sunday school. 1:30 p.m. Fr. 7:20 p.m. Bible school. 1:30 p.m. Fr. 7:20 p.m. Bible school meeting.

Ward Nichols, preached to a splendid congregation, using for his subject, "Christianity in America." He prepared a parishioner and its development in America to the present day. He pointed out that we are far behind the ideals of Christ, even though we bear the name of a Christian country. This was an instructive and inspiring message, much appreciated by the congregation. At the close of this service three children were baptised. A church school at the usual hour with an exceptional large attendance. In the absence of the superintendent, R. E. Jones was in charge. A profitable session was held. At the evening service many braved the pouring rain to attend. The pastor again filled the pulpit, preaching on the Pharisee and the saint message and the sweet message and the congregation was much delighted The choir, under direction of Herbert A. Allen, rendered excellent music all day. The offering for the day amounted to $4421.1 On Frida, evening, May 3, there will be love feast, and on Sunday, May 4, the Holy Communion will be administered both morning and evening. The public is cordially invited. Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Mount Olivet Baptist Church was full at the morning service, Sunday, April 28. The pastor, Rev W. P. Hayes, chose Isaiah 52.2 as his text "Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion, put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city, for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncurcised and unclean" His theme was concerning the church and its mission. He said the church is our institution specifically constituted for the purpose of spreading the earth. He spoke of the article written by someone that $12,000,000 are given yearly to churches. He reminded us of the fact that there are six million members of churches in the United States at the time this article appeared in 1920, make each to be 50 cents per year, or 4 cents per month. The only cost of admission to the church is a transformed life. People love the church because of its strong mood and spiritual standards and of its high degree of prayer in the church, and of the unity church membership produces. The sermon was penetrating and of high spiritual value. At 2:04-clock the funeral service of Charles DeCato was held. His lodge furnished out of the house. He was a member of the church and is known by the pastor a number of years. At 3:15 the Knights of Pythas, including the uniform ranks, the Courts of Calanthes and the Juvenile Department, turned out for their anniversary service and filled the main floor of the Auditorium; even the Dandelion in the gym was filled. Silent Wanda was held for the recovery of the grand chancellor, who is sick. An interesting program was followed by a sermon by Rey W P Hayes, subject "An Inquiry and a Revolution His text was chosen from Jeremiah 8:6 "What have I done," and Philippus 3 "The man who opposes the He spoke of business inefficiency among the colored race who seems to be afraid to look a balance sheet in the face. They seem to prefer to indulge in day dreams and kid themselves in believing all is well rather than to keep books properly or to look at their balance sheet, which will show them the truth of life." If a man is near being bankrupt he should know it. He explained the three duties of man. 1-Duty to himself and those who depend upon him. 2-Duty to his fellowmen, for people's lives. 3-Duty to God, the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, and after all the real career of a person depends largely on his attitude towards God. The band played beautiful selections. A collection of $8728 was given to the church in evening service. Re: I T Ross, of Virginia, preached from 11 Corinthians 9:15. "Thanks be unto God for His unskewable gift." He told how the prophets of old foresaw the coming of Jesus who was the greatest gift heaven could give. Seven people joined the church during the day. The collection for the day amounted to $3810.92. Rendall Memorial Church Notwithstanding the change of time affected man's persons who have the habit of attending morning worship, there was a very appressive audience to hear the passages on the subject. The prayer worth while is a worn out custom". The minister, Dr. Thomas J. B Harris spoke to this subject from three angles first, what prayer is and the conditions of acceptable petition, second the exclavating need of prayer third the possibilities. On William H. Darden, assisted with the church, all plans are being perfected for the spring bazaar which begins on Monday, May 6, and continues through the 10th. Excellent articles will be on sale. Good programs each evening. Mrs. Carrie Jones is the chairman of the bazaar committee. Will Wright, around 8 p.m. on marriage on Saturday evening to Lawrence Howell. The ceremony was performed at the church by the pastor. St. James Pres.-Church On Saturday last, St. James Presbyterian Church celebrated its thirty-fourth anniversary with special services through the day. And also in loving memory the Rev. Thomas Johnson, the founder and first pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church. At the 11 o'clock service the pastor delivered a timely sermon on the subject, "New Strength for New Tasks." In his message Dr. Ime emphasized the necessity of growth, as well as physical growth. The morning sermon was followed by infant baptism. Herbert Ashley Rose, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rose of 10 West 115th street, Louise E. Wheatley, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Beasley of 140 Wheatley and Daisy Nedd, nerd, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nedd of 205 West 147th street. After the baptism, the installation of the newly elected elders, deacons, deaconeses, and trustees was conducted by the pastor in solenm rites. It was an honor as well as a pleasure for St. James to have installed Dr H Thompkins, son of the founder of the church, as one of the newly elected elders. He is also a member of the Thompkins Memorial Association, a society founded in honor of the founder and first pastor of St James. After the installations the chair under direction of Dr. Charlton sang the anthem, "In the Shadow of His Wing," with much clearness and beauty. At the 4 p.m. service a musical and literary program was followed by addresses by Mrs. Daisy C Reid, president Utopia Neighborhood Club, J.D. Steel and assistant District Attorney C. W. McDougall. The sermon at the evening church was preached by the Rev L B. Ellerson, pastor of the 13th avenue Presbyterian Church of Newark N.J. On Monday, a musical and litter- ary program under direction of Dr. Melville Charlton, organist and staff of St. James choir was ren- dered Refuge Church of Christ Spring is beginning to paint the colors of the rainbow upon the green fields, pastures, hill sides, and meadows that were, buried be neath the snow and ice during winter, and barren during the winter days are blooming into life again. All nature seems to be inspired. The birds are building their nests and wild beasts and all existing forms of life that breath, live and move in the open air, acclaim the joy of nature. Figuratively speaking all nature is smiling at you and everything seems to be reborn, and now is the time for you to turn over a new leaf in the book of your life's career but it is impossible for you to this alone. You must have the flowers of Helleborus for the flowers to bloom on the hills and mountainsides. He, too, can cause the flowers to bloom in your life and make you the man or woman that you want to be. Why not then be the Spirit of God in your soul by receiving the light of the Gods. For if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of His." The Church of Christ Bible Institute held its regular classes on the evening of Monday April 22. The local missionaries also held their weekly service on the same evening. T Norman a young minister of the Church of Christ Assembly preached his farewell sermon on the evening of Tuesday, April 23. A large crowd came out to hear the farewell message from our beloved Elder Norman. It was a parsing that will long be remembered in the hearts of those presbyteries of the Norman sailing to join his family in New York. At the end of St Thomas Virgin Islands The departed young minister will be greatly missed from our midst. Wednesday evening, April 24, a beautiful wedding was solemnized in the main auditorium of the church. Pastor Lawson united in the family to hold wedlock Miss Eilea Isabelle in holy water.

His purpose was to dilute from a center like Tunglese the light of the homely but ever living truth which must form the basis of the plant's future. THE LILLIAM HOWARD TAZI, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court. TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE throng that was present. His first thought was: Every Negro who comes to the North from other parts of the country should endeavour to work with Negro enterprises. He also touched on the A. M. E. Church being self-governing body, and hence our church taxes might be heavier than those of other communions but it was not his policy to make them heavier, and placed a plan for full support of church enterprises. He also paid a tribute to our pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler, as beng one of the outstanding ministers, and one of the intellectual giants of the church. Theishop's theme was: "The Unlikely Story of Old Age Wrote Out 'Religion.'" The text was: Ecclesiastes 6.4- He stressed the following points. The length of life is problematic. Old age is a blessing. The longer we live the more we can appreciate the future life will be better. The more old and has not remembered God and sought to obey Him is in a sad plight, and in the language of the text it is "better that he has not been born" for he has gone contrary to God's Will. We should do God will. We should not be old. Old age is the testing time of one's life, for ever we are to do it is then. The great object; live in life is to do good and be true to God and our fellowman. There is moral goodness, social and moral integrity. The bishop closed with a fervent plea that all make the best of their opportunities along spiritual and material lines. Two persons joined the church when the invitation was extended. The afternoon the missionary forum was held - Secretary of Missions, D. E. H. Golt, was the principal speaker. Dr Tyler and members of the congregation paid a fraternal visit to Bethel A. M. E. Church, Freeport, Mo., and Dooms, Mo., former editor of the Voice of Missions is pastor Next Sunday afternoon the pastor and congregation will pay a fraternal visit to St John's A. M. E. Church of the Rev R. L. Cummings is pastor. These fraternal visits are in keeping with an idea born at the recent mid-winter conference, that THE the pastor of the largest church in the district visit and help the smaller churches, even to the extent of lending members to aid in building up the work. Dr. T.Mag has followed the idea religiously. At the evening hour the pastor delivered a sermon to the committee usher boards. While the sermon was directly to the ushers, it was replete with wholesome advice to all present. The second annual "Fellowship Banquet" will be held on May 11. It will be under auspices of the Conference Claims Committee, of which Mrs. Mamie Foy is chairlady. The annual conference will be in session at Buffalo on May 22. Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church The call issued for a corporate meeting of the members of Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church on Wednesday evening received a strong response. The lower part of the main auditorium was potted with a responsive plaque. A thorough report carefully prepared and read by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Brown, showing the loyalty and all an-round interest being manifested by the members, and giving a keener insight into some real church problems as a guide for future consideration, was approvingly received. That an act of kindness in a grief still exists was determined at the conclusion of the meeting by the unanimous consent of the membership present. The sermon delivered by Rev. W. C. Brown at the morning and evening services on Sunday created the usual interest and those who listened went away better prepared to the problems which accompany the duties of life.

The end came after the first round had just gone 55 seconds. Perhaps it was the reputation that the kid had that stopped Ryan, for which the bell rang starting the first round he did not seem to know what it was all about. Chocolate left with a long lettu to the face and danced away as Ryan tried to bore in Ryan opposed his defense and got to snaps lettu to his face for his trouble. Following this with a hard right to the jaw Chocolate shook Ryan from head to foot. Another punch a lettu hook to the jaw sent Ryan down on the camps. The right that had the tans standing on their toes was the schedled ten round bout between Black Bill, flweight and Rocker Parra the semi-final on the night. This was to start the night of the evening starting in with a rush Bill and Parra started to slug in the first round.

At this time he established a record of 81 days for the trip, as compared with the record made by Edward Weston of 95 days. Shelton carried a letter from the late Major John Purrus Mitchell to Mayor James F. Robb of the California metropolis. He plans to leave Sunday, May 3, on another cross-country trip to California and notwithstanding that he is nearly 70 years of age, he hopes to create a new record for the trip. He has asked Mavor James J. Walker to a letter to be delivered to the Mavor of San Francisco and hopes to be so accredited. Shelton says that on his trip, he maintained a steady average walking gait on about 4 miles per hour and that he walks from thirteen to fifteen hours daily. On occasions when unadjustably delayed, he claims to have walked steadily for thirty hours. He sleeps wherever night catches him he says curling up on the sands of a desert on the grass of a plain, or at the base of a tree, as the case might be.

BRED The Savoy Ballroom on Wednesday night, May 8th, is again about to do the unusual and leading the war for the first inter-sectional battle of music ever held between the south and the north in which six of the country's leading orchestras will vie for musical honors. For this "Battle of Jazz" the Savoy at a tremendous cost is bringing to this city three of the South's best orchestras, Ike Dixon from Baltimore and Johnson's Happy Pals from Richmond, Va. These two orchestras in conjunction with the Missourians, acknowledged sensations, will defend the southern laurels and if advance information means anything they are coming well prepared for this battle, and are ready to blow their last note in the claim that they are the better orchestras. The north, however, is ready for this southern invasion and has lined up three of this city's best orchestra for the defense and both feel confident that they will both outplay and outstomp the boys from the south. Fess Williams and his Royal Flush Orchestra, Charlie Johnson and his Small's Paradise Orchestra, and Duke Ellington and his Cotton Club Orchestra are ready to do or do in the defense of their city and have their musical bars in readiness with which to smite.

Marion and Mary Anne doing two numbers. "Get yourself a broom and NOBLE SISSLE TO SING Noble Sissle, internationally fa- ACTIVITIES AMONG Always a student, never satisfied with her acquirements, Miss Mitchell seldom presents a program that has not some striking element of interest. In this recital, she gave two numbers by John Alden Carpenter that were most ultra of the ultra-modern school They were the "Hermit Crab" and "Jazz Boys". The first, particularly, was of the most unusual construction, with an accompaniment entirely disharmonic with the voice part, and yet with a relaxed structure that held interest of the hearer, even though it were well nigh unintelligible to the cars of the unsophisticated. "Jazz Boys", by reason of its rather low pitch, giving no opportunity for the utterance of those notes in her upper register that thrill and electrify the hearer, was not so favorably heard, but to a pitch to suit the singer's voice it might be placed on a pair Hermit crab. German heider opened the program, the numbers being "Wenn ich in deine augen sch" by Bleichman, "Das ist ein Bransen und Henlen" by Franz, "Am sonntag morgen" by Brahms, and "Die Lorrele" by Liszt. Then followed an Italian group, which included Respigh's "E se un giorno tornasse", "Poeme Persiana" by Santohquido, and "Rhorno sinctor, the aria from Verdi's "Aida", a thrilling rendition. A group of English songs brought Hageman's "Do not go my love," "It was a lover and his lass" by Quilter, and the two Carpenter songs already mentioned. A group of Negro Spirituals concluded the program. Two arrangements by Dawson were "Jesus walked this lonesome valley" and "Talk about a child that do love Jesus," and "Wade in de water" was by Burleigh. Then by request Miss Mitchell sang in inimitable style, "Exhortation" by Will Marion Cook, who, by the way, was her first husband and teacher. This was supposed to conclude the performance, but the insistent audience would not be satisfied and demanded additional numbers until she had sung "Didn't it rain" and "Don't you weep" by Burleigh, and the great German masterpiece, "Erl König" by Schubert. The arrangements were played by Beatrice Lewis, with technical correctness, but they were numerous instances in which there was too much piano. DOCK SNELLINGS AT TOWN HALL Dock Snellings, haritone, who has been called The Singing Postman, appeared in a program of considerable proportions at Town Hall on Sunday afternoon, April 28, at 3:30 o'clock. The recital was for benefit of the Frederick Douglass Chapter, John Brown Memorial Association, and under management of the Arthur Judson Concert Bureau. Mr. Snellings was making his second concert appearance, having made his debut four years ago. He exhibited a vocal organ of some quality, pleasing in his simpler numbers, but hardly adequate to demands imposed by the heavier compositions. He sang numbers by Serech, Purcell Handel, Laisz, Schubert, Flegner, Alvarez and Gounod, Welsh, Irish, English and Scottish air, and a group of Spirituals of his own arrangement. He was assisted by B. Roxas Solis as pianist and accompanist. Solis had an injured finger and so had to substitute simpler compositions for the programmed numbers. CHAMBER - CONCERT By The WEIR-JETER TRIO Felix F. Weir, Violin; H. Leonard Jeter, Cello; Olyve L. Jeter, Piano AT GRACE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 206 WEST 1390th STREET SUNDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 5th, 1929 Three Thirty O'Clock Sharp SUBSCRIPTION — — — ONE DOLLAR MI-TEE MONARCH 45 BAND IS NOW TO BE KNOWN AS THE MONARCH SYMPHONY BAND, MARKING ITS MUSICAL ADVANCE In the playing of the Sunday afternoon concert on April 28, at junior High School 136, Edgecombe avenue and 135th street, the McTre Monarch 45 Band according to the announcement made by the ubiquitous and accomplished master of ceremonies, Dr. Lawrence Davenport, loses its former identity and becomes the Monarch Symphony Band, a title to which it has long since proved its right. For during the present concert season, which began on the last Sunday in September, last, and which will conclude on Sunday, May 26, this organization, under the baton of Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, has offered its friends and patrons a series of programs embracing a wide range of musical compositions. The director has not confined himself to music written and arranged specially for band rendition, but has gone into the realm of symphonic compositions for his material, and where arrangements were not available for the instrumentation afforded by his group, has employed his own scholarly musicship to the end of making original arrangements to meet his requirements. It has become a familiar and accustomed experience to hear Dr. Davenport make the statement, after his lucid and illuminating exposition of some number about to be played by the band, that "this arrangement is by Lieut. Simpson." There is hardly a program by the band that this explanation is not heard. And so it is that the change of title is entirely befitting, and is worthly merited by the organization's fine accomplishments. The program on last Sunday was of varied interest. Two numbers of outstanding importance were "Faust" by Gounod and the Schubert Unfinished Symphony in B Minor. In his reading of these numbers, and in the response to his directorial impulse by the members of the organization, Lieut. Simpson brought to his audience rare enjoyment. One of the interesting features was the presentation of the composer, DeKoven Thompson, who presented two of his songs, "June will come again" and the song which Schumann-Hemk made famous through including it in her concert repertoire, "If I forget," both sung a young soprano, Miss Virgie Augustine. The young woman has a voice with some commendable qualities, but lacks knowledge as to proper use, in addition to which she appeared to be suffering in a case of "nerves" Mr. Thompson was at the piano. The famous Arctic explorer, Matthew Henson, the only living man who has set foot at the North Pole, having been with Peary on that explorer's successful invasion of the regions of the farthest North on the speaker of the afternoon, and he recounted the audience one of his experiences in the far-flung reaches of the Frozen North. He was given an ovation by the enthusiastic audience, which was of considerable proportions notwithstanding that it was an afternoon on the heavens opened and poured a near-deluge of rain upon the land. Aderman Fred R. Moore, treasurer of the publicity committee, in charge of the fund for free summer-night park concerts, made the usual appeal for contributions to this fund, and for the payment of park pledges. The program rendered by the band was as follows: March, "Grand Larceny" by Phillips, Selection, "Faust, Gounod, and Intermezzo, 'In a Monastery Garden,' Ketelby, (b) 'Serenade, Irrallita,' Ponce, Soprano solos. (a) June will come again' and I forget by Thompson-Miss Virginie Augustine, Solost, Mi-Tee Monarch Trombone Quartet, B. Covington, A. Hayne, R Jackson, Simpson, Symphony in B Minor (Unfinished), Schubert, Two Popular Ditties. Precious little thing called love and 'Where the shy voleks grow' (by special permission of Remick Publishing Co.), Overture, "Echoes from Metropolitan Opera House," Tobani, Descriptive "Chinese, Wedding Procession," Hosmer Responses to the appeal for contributions to augment the sum allowed by the city for the summer park concerts, which is sufficient to the employment of not more than fifteen men, were as follows: Maurice Rosemond, 666 St. Nicholas Avenue $1.00 Mr. B F.

April 24, at the Lakers Auditorium, 160 West 15th street. The 4 Masons, on this occasion proved to be the sisters Lydia Mary Anne Marion and Katherine, each possessing some degree of musical drama or terpsichorean talent. The program as arranged, was calculated to bring on evidence the three elements of their versatility. They were, assisted, although there was no previous announcement to that effect, by Jennie Lang as an announcer. Gertrude Martin II as an announcer and Viv Sculder at the piano. The announcements written rhyme by Mary Anne, were given by Jenna with a navette that won her audience on each appearance from the introductions to the thanks and farewell. ABBIE MITCHELL SINGS SPLENDIDLY BUT IS GREETED BY SMALL AUDIENCE Beginning the program proper Marion sang, "Ms Task, with Katherine," and followed by a dramatic recitation by Mary Anne. (two seasons, with Abbie Mitchell, soprano, gave New York music layers an opportunity to enjoy her splendid artistry on Sunday afternoon, April 28, when she appeared in recital at the Engineering Auditorium, 29 West Street, under auspices of the Beulah Wesleyan Methodist Church, Rev. H. W. Stanley, pastor. Ripened and matured in her art, a past mistress of vocalistic enchantment, it is a strange fact that this fine artist has usually to sing, here New York City, to audiences of meagre proportions, while she is accustomed in other cities by gatherings that tax the capacity of the audiences in which she appears. And this, despite the fact that New York claim for themselves a high ranking as art and music cognosco, comparisons are odious, and it is seldom that this reviewer feels need of using this form of expression, but it cannot be disputed that when artists of other races of Abbie Mitchell's calibre are appearing in recital, seats, and even standing room, are at a premium. Whatever of odium attaches to the failure to give adequate recognition to this singer must be put upon the so-called musical intelligence which is really without reasonable merit for such a classifi- Mitchell has long since won her way to the top tung of musical ladder. Her versatility has enabled her to range from the occasional offerings of the every day musical comedy production, through the higher forms of composition on into the severe school of the operatic classics. Particularly has she excelled in the singing of German heder, with their taxing demand upon any singer's vocal art, for interpretations that scale the gamut of human emotion that she has to give of her wonderful ability to audiences of such numbers as arrested her Sunday afternoon so has been said to many those who post superheavy armour, fever, and Hammerstein's Golden Dawn is in proper western costume on the cowboy classic "Lacea." Lydia, who is studio pianist for the broadcasting station WXND, East 10th street, played a piano group "The Butterfly by Lavalle Counts Garden" by Granger and responded to an encore with Dolphin dainty Juffe "Japanese Etude." Then came, Kerridge, with Lydia a piano playing the wild Gipsy at "Hirte Kai" by Hubas responding to attention of the audience with one of Burleighs' Southland Sketches. The second half of the program was devoted to jazz with Katherine RECITAL MARGUERITE AVERY Marion and Mary Anne doing two numbers, "Get yourself a broom and sweep your troubles away" and "Button up your overcoat," with appropriate dance steps each number; an orchestra, with David L. Martin II at piano, playing a "hot" number; Marion singing "You're mean to me" Katherine playing and then Katherine sang and played "My kind of love." May Anne gave an impersonation of her brother Paul now in Washington, as orchestra conductor, singer and dancer, after which Lydia, Gertrude, Vt. and Mary Anne shared a realistic scene from the WEVD broadcasting studio. The whole bunch then joined in a lovely finale, after which the chairs were taken away and the large and happy audience joined in a season of dancing Sandwiches, cake and hot coffee were served downstairs by the Masons' grandmother and mother, Mrs. L. Murrell and Mrs. E. Mason. Many of the studio people from downtown were present, and the boxholders were Monsieur Thomas M. O'Keeffe of St Benedict's Catholic Church, Mr and Mrs L.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 8th, 1929 Admission 85 Cents — No Other Charges SAVOY World's Finest Ballroom Lenox Avenue, 140-141st Street ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Eugene Kennedy, the saxophone leader of the orchestra alternating with a white orchestra at the Arcadia Palace in Broadway, has found himself in lots of trouble and in a very precarious condition with the Union through discharging his drummer, Walter V. Conyes. The drummer was working satisfactorily until Kennedy was forced to discharge him without notice at the request of the management of the Arcadia. It was alleged that Conyes persistently annoyed and followed one of the female employees of the dance hall. The resident manager took a trip to Philadelphia, where others who are interested in the Arcadia are, and after a conference, induced them to keep the orchestra, with the exception of Conyes. Thinking it was conglulatory, under any circumstances, to receive a 2-weeks' notice, the drummer summoned Kennedy to the Union. The Trial Board refused to entertain the charge, but unearthed some illuminating information about the price per man the orchestra was receiving. The laws of Local 802 do not allow an individual to jeopardize the whole orchestra, and if he offends it places him beyond the pale of the Union's usual protection. Therefore, because the evidence was sufficiently strong to support the charge of annoyance made against Conves, he was deemed not worthy to receive the 2-weeks' notice or its money equivalent. But here is a sequel with seeming disastrous consequences to the whole Arcadia colored orchestra To clarify the salary question, the whole orchestra was summoned before the Trial Board Kennedy, the leader, insisted he was receiving $115 per man per week, working from 8:30 to 12:10 each night. Others attested the same but some of the musicians claimed 'they received a lesser salary'. Three men were hooked to play with the 'Blackbirds' show. The Board could not understand why three men of the orchestra should leave the Arcadia to go to the 'Blackbirds' orchestra, where manners and midnight shows had to be performed, their salary did they expect from 'Blackbirds'. $1,000 was the fine imposed upon Leader Kennedy and $500 on each of the musicians, excepting one musician who was fined $25 after admitting a lesser salary. The Trial Board is strictly against preparation and is somewhat inclined to lenency of defendants testify to the truth at the Board's deliberations. Of course Kennedy and the other musicians may make a money appeal to the Union and may receive it from the satisfaction. Let us wish them a manners happy bounce out of their affliction. "Messian Around" at the Hammond Theatre, off Broadway, was merely "messed up" at its opening. Hall, the treasurer, who is leader of the orchestra, and some of the musicians were due some bill from some unadvised source. The money had been deposited in London 802; had been called for, but cannot could not be made with Mr. Schreder, the treasurer, it is alleged, and the money could not be gotten. What connection this money had with "Messin' Around" is not clear. But the musicians balked. Hall appealed to the Union and Sergent-at-Arms Muster was used to assure the men their money and safe, and to warn them not to poor pardize the opening of the show. It may be of interest to friend in and out of town to know that Henry Williams, that good natural gentlemanly New Amsterdam and Cief Club violinist and banjo player and teacher, is alluring. Henry had practically retired from active playing and confined himself to teaching, but when he was in the field as leader he gave many of us an engagement and did much to foster the N. A. M. A. Drop in and give Henry a cheer word. He lives at 224 West 131st street Mrs Gertrude Martin, manager of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc. has been kind enough to send us a pair of complimentary tickets for the school's concert at Rockland Palace on Friday evening, May 10. The events of the Martin-Smith's recitals are too well known to need comment. Hoping the recital and dance will be, as usual, well attended we beg to tender thanks for the courtesy.

This couple, although bent with age, coach, had all the earmarks of retirement away from the train, holding each other do when they have been married so long that becomes second nature with them when they forgot something, relinquished the hand of Peter stood. This is what he said to Pet don't lose that smile its a virtue. You can only be coming by with a sad heart, and not be the means of lightening, the load on that smile, porter, whatever you do carried back to the hand that was waiting to step his stepping, box and mounted the plate was another experience in his life as a 'Pu' No, you, reader, one of those persons who greet people with a smile? Well, if you are not, cultivate the habit. You never can tell what extent your mere smile may go towards helping a fellow brother. Peter Jones, a faithful Pullman servitor, who carries a constant smile around with him, never himself gave this subject much attention until recently. It was then that Peter learned that he possessed a virtue, and it was one that he was admonished to keep. It was at a little, rustic railway station, not more than one-hundred miles from New York City that the incident occurred which made Peter conscious of his admirable possession. The knowledge came rather peculiarly, although it did come as a result of his actions. But, oddly, the person who imparted the information was merely an observer and not a receiver of these actions, which goes to substantiate the saying that one can never tell when one's actions are being observed. As said, Peter is a faithful servitor, which, in Pullman terms, means an employee on the job. Immediately his train arrived at the little station, he was out on the ground with his stepping box. Each of the half-dozen Pullman patrons approached the stool, each was the recipient of a nod and a smile from Peter. Detraining from the day coach, which was next to the Pullman, were two aged persons, presumably husband and wife. From their appearance it was obvious that they were people of culture, not of wealth. As a matter of fact, anyone who has Pullman-portered for any length of time, and possesses the least perception, can come minutes out of ten within hitting the mark in his perspective of one's natural background. This couple, although bent with age, and riding in the ordinary coach, had all the carmarks of refinement. They started away from the train, holding each other's hands just as people do when they have been married so long that the eldest habit becomes second nature with them when the man, although he had forgotten something, relinquished the hand he held and so where Peter stood. This is what he said to Peter. Don’t lose that smile it’s a virtue. You can never see somebody is coming by with a sad heart, and a smile such as you may be the means of lightening, the lead on that heart, love that smile, porter, whatever you do. As he hurried back to the hand that was waiting for his Peter stood, took up his stepping, box and mounted the platform of the lift. It was another experience in his life as a Pullman-porter. A HINT TO MR. HEARD orough the action of the document, in promoting one of its position of assistant director, or innovation in railroad dine that the road is beginning, to improve the departments served the railroad to 22 w on being selected at the pro- in this new job there is not the least doubt but the action of the Pennsylvania Railroad in promoting one of its competent and veteran assistant drivers, car steward with the transportation in railroad dining car service, so road is beginning to realize the justification of this department. Mr. Hutch Heard was the railroad for 22 years as a waiter to be selected at the post of the waiter per new job. The least doubt but that Mr. Heard will Atough the action of the Pennsylvania Railroad is a moment, in promoting one of its competent and veteran writers to the position of assistant director, car steward with the title writer to innovation in rail and dining car service, we are healthy sign that the road is beginning to realize the promise of the New employees of this department. Mr. Hutch Hearl will be served the railroad for 22 years as a writer to be con- sidered on being selected at the first of the watters to be appointed in this new job. There isn't the least doubt but that Mr. Hearl will make his duties are such that he is accountable only for his own services and that of those under him. The trouble with him is New York whether they are watters; rather what is that they will tell it is a member of their race, when he is promised to the that degree or unsuspecting support, which he will not write, it is jealous, or just downright accuse that he in this has had other colleagues hard to determine of the reasons, is the more plausible. However, the Pennsylvania waiters may please us to explain some little us hope they do. But here is a hint we would give to the promoted water. Do as Johnny lones on the New York Central Lines, and when he was promoted from the range of water, that of unhinged car teward. This was nearly twenty years ago, and such a thing of the road as a Negro dining car conductor was thought of as being too a job for one of the race, despite the fact that the average dining car waiter then, as now, knew more about the service of this department than the white conductors under whom he served. Apposition to lines promoton came, not only from the dining car conductors, some when it was reported at the time, whether erroneous or not recorded because of his promotion, but it also came from the very waiter with whom he had worked. However, the promoted man paid no attention to their objections to the dining car service from the kitchen to the entrance door, and man Daniels, who was then head of the passenger department at the New York Central Lines, knew that he did. It was said that it was through this official that Joness services as a promotor waiter were recognized. one of the first acts of Jones when he received his promotion was to retrain from any social mixing with his waiters when off duty. Before that he was fond of whist and the little poker games that he used to have. But when his duties became such that he had the responsibilities of a supervisor he became as it were, a devout church member, so far as the waiters were concerned. Most of the boys misunderstood his attitude in the matter, some of them were not backward in saying, "Johnny Jones has the swell head since he has been made conductor." But those who held that opinion were in error. It wasn't a caseinated ego by any means. Jones was merely sensible enough to realize that he could not socialize with his waiters while off duty and then supervise them when on duty. Such dual intercourse can be successfully maintained. The wisdom of Jones does have its own self in many ways. Today, the only thing that keeps him in a dining car steward is his race. Nevertheless, he has this safety rule: it is dining car conductor on the best train the New York train runs, namely, The 20th Century Limited, and the Negro country to hold such a position on any railroad. Mr. Heard of the Pennsylvania Jones may not have need to take a ride from this veteran's book, but it would not hurt him to scan it. FOLLOWS HIS PRIVATE CAR MAN the late president of the Pullman Company, L. L. Carry, who died Chicago on Wednesday, April 24 did not remain long behind private car man "Daddy Coles. Mr. Carry's death has stir morrow of all sorts as to who will be the next president Pullman Company. Most likely his death will delay the holding of interests, wake conference, which was originally scheduled to be in June in May he left Mr. Carry, who came to the Pullman corporation by way Askell Barker Car Company when it was merged with the interest, was reputed never to have had any labor disturb with his employees, in fact he was popular with his workers because of this, as much as it was because of his ability that he became head of the Pullman Company was also said that the Pullman people had wanted him but that he would not consent to leave the Haskell Barker to get him, the Pullman people took over the whole Has outfit. It was somewhat ironic that it was during on of Pullman affairs that the porters unrest begat though his passing was unexpected, the writer was talking with recently who runs to Chicago, and this porter said that he offered the job which "Daddy" Coles had held and said he, "Mr. Carry is a sick man, and he takes time, and there I would have to look for him." The Week of May 4 ASTROLOGICALLY CONSIDERED The Week of May 4 ASTROLOGICALLY CONSIDERED BY THEARCHER Jupiter will bring honor, social and business advancement, happiness, better health to many of the women, inheritances to many, and a more or less favorable financial adjustment to the birthdates on May 11, 12, 13 and 14, all this week. These birthdates have the sun in the sign of Taurus the Bull, and nearly everyone with these birthdates have a love for the best things of life. This aspect also brings promotion and preemerent in employment. Those who plan to push ahead while under this aspect will gain the most. Nothing ventured nothing gained, aptly applies here. The cell pre of the sun in lunar on May 9 1929 at 207 am daylight saving time will not be visible in North America but its influence will bring some very important changes into the birthyear of those whose true birthdate is May 8 this year. The true birthdate may fall a day later or earlier in some years owing to the succession of equinoxes. The calendar year is not always equivalent with the solar year and it is necessary to add an extra day every four years to restore the balance. The next day is February 29 in Lean years. The cell pre will bring more financial basis business matters health boss friends and removals. May 9 will feel a little influence although not to such an extent as May 11. The birth year has a modulus of influence and should be considered the best way Prepared by: Y. Academy o Business In a letter to: I, new s.y.

Lobhair Relief Bridgenort, Conn. to combat this influence is to use the utmost patience, very good judgment, and to be very careful of the diet. This influence will last throughout the birthyear. This aspect will cause tidal waves and heavy storms. Neptune brings an inclination to understandings and mistakes that makes enemies of those who could be friends to the birthdates of May 19 and 20. This aspect lasts the whole mouth of May. It brings trouble through eating seafoods, or food that has not been properly prepared. It is best that care be used when working around chemicals liquids and oils. It is a good aspect under which to take long voyages on water. The way to act under this aspect is to be absolutely straightforward ward and sincere, and not to do anything that would bring trouble in round out as surely will be found out. This aspect will end when the last of July and will begin to affect these two birthdates less adversely.

Philadelphia, Pa. On Thursday, April 25, Dr Donald Young of the Sociology Department of the University of Pennsylvania, brought fifteen members of his graduate class in race relations to the offices of the Armstrong Association, 1434 Lombard street, where an internal round table discussion was held. Following a brief statement by Executive Secretary Wayne L. Hokins, relative to the history, purpose and methods of the Armstrong Association, questions relative to the work of the industrial and community organization departments were directed to the secretaries in charge of each department. A number of very pertinent questions were asked which showed the serious and thoughtful consideration which this group is giving to the many problems of racial relationships. Lester Knickle Jones executive secretary of the National Urban League who was a visitor at the Armstrong Association, was invited to sit in on the discussion of the general and national aspects of race relations included among the members of the class were teachers in various high schools, social workers members of the faculty of Temple University and graduate students in various fields.

Of these the administration c. HARRY PACK held 5,355, there being a possible objection of only 210 votes represented by proxy, and about a similar amount represented in person. The required number of votes to approve the merger was 6667 of two-thirds of the outstanding capital. Opposition Weakened. The expected opposition to the proposed merger did not develop any strength, and it was a foregone conclusion that the proposal would carry. President Pace read a complete and comprehensive report of the operations of the company for the past year, and in addition gave a history of the conception and organization of the company, which in its early stages had absorbed the Lincoln-Douglass Life Insurance Company of Delaware, thereby preventing a complete loss to the stockholders of the Lincoln Douglass which had failed to organize. In the president's report it was also brought out that the combined companies had an income last year of more than $65,000 and assets at nearly $1,500,000, together with a paid in capital of $400,000 and insurance in force of $26,500,000. Unanimous Vote for Merger. When the proxy committee, after more than an hour and a half canvass of the proxies, reported and the roll was completed, it was seen that the opposition had completely broken down and that the proposal would carry with an overwhelming majority Before the roll was again called for the vote the opposition withdrew and the vote was made unanimous All the necessary enabling resolutions to carry the merger into effect were unanimously adopted and the meeting ended in the utmost good feeling of all present Other Companies To Act Stockholders of the Laberty Life and of the Supreme Life will pass on the matter within the next two weeks, after which the whole matter will be submitted to the insurance departments interested for their final approval. Executives of the three companies involved have been in constant touch with their respective departments, who have been thoroughly conversant with the proposal to merge the three companies, and have given their tentative approval to the matter. Owing to the great amount of technical and detail work involved the actual consolidation will not become effective until the last of May or the early part of June. Prior to the meeting of the stockholders, directors of the Northeastern met and elected Dr P M Murray medical director of the company, as secretary in addition to his present duties. They also elected G H Rowen, at present direct or of agents, of the company, as a member of the board of directors. Nine men were also chosen from among the Northeastern Board to serve on the consolidated Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company as soon as the actual consolidation takes place.

Benton looked in a store window at 141 West 14th street. Inside he saw two strange men, one on whom was transferring money from the cash register to his pocket. Going inside the store the policeman questioned one of the men and asked him, if he was in charge of the store. The man replied that he was and that he was getting ready to close the store. Hearing a noise in the store the policeman told the men to wait a minute. Opening the door leading to the star he saw the owner of the store who said that he had been robbed by the two men. Placing the men under arrest, Patrician Belton ordered a call to drive him and his pursuers to the West 155th street station. A search of the men revealed a 1.25 caliber revolver on one of them, and a blackjack on the other. $10 in bills and $9.84 in silver was the boot which was recovered. The men gave their names as Lawrence Washington and Clarence Stewart when they were arrested in Washington Heights Court before Magistrate McQuade. They were held in $10,000 bail for a hearing May 3.

The center, under the supervision of Miss Miller (teacher at P. S. 90), has had a full season. Thousands of Harlem children and grown ups, too have been entertained with movies and concert in the auditorium, and table games, tennis and basketball in the gymnasium.

It was so trying not to be able to enjoy anything. "As I knew Cardul was a good tonic, I decided to take it. After taking Cardul, I felt so much better and stronger.

She married Dr Peter A Johnson (deceased) in October, 1879 and two children were the result of their union—Dr Travis Johnson, a graduate of the Columbia University Medical College, and a daughter, Gertrude Elise Ayer She also leaves three grand children, Elizabeth McDougall, jr. 17, and Travis JohnDougall, 15. Cornelius McDougall jr. 17; and Travis Johnson, 14. Her greatest pride was her refusal to recognize the excuses offered by her race (white) for their racial prejudices and she followed the teachings of Christ in her attitude on the brotherhood of man. For this she suffered ostracism which she bore without waering, clinging to her belief that she was right in her attitude Her life was one of devoted service to her husband, and after his death to her son and daughter and grand-children. Whatever they may have meant in the community was due to her standing patiently in the background and daily helping and inspiring them to go on. Her devotion to her family and adopted race is a worthy contribution to the life of this community.
