Placing the Southern Republicans and those Democrats who supported Mr. Hooyer for President in preference to Governor Smith, appears to be one of the most difficult tasks of the new administration. This is because the Lilywhite Republicane and the converted Democrats insist upon the elimination of the Negro from party management or party councils in any attempt at reorganization. This was the reason why Benjamin Franklin Davis retired from the contest for the post of National Committeeman in Georgia, after first securing a clean bill of health on the charge of selling Federal offices. Perry Howard in Mississippi was less compliant, so the Department of Justice had him indicted, only to have two white juries acquit him of a similar charge. educating the Southern Republicans, those Democrats who supported Mr.oyer for President in preference to Senator Smith, appears to be one of the most difficult tasks of the new administration. This is because the Lilywhite publicans and the converted Democrats insist upon the elimination of the progo from party management or party councils in any attempt at reorganization. This was the reason why Benjamin Franklin Davis retired from the contest the post of National Committeeman Georgia, after first securing a clean bill health on the charge of selling Federal taxes. Perry Howard in Mississippi less compliant, so the Department of Justice had him indicted, only to have the juries acquit him of a similar charge. The fact that four Southern states gave their electoral votes for Mr. Hoover has raised Republican leaders with the idea of two party government may be established in the South, if it ever existed. If in order to achieve such a desirable purpose, it becomes necessary to eliminate those few Negroes who have to positions of prominence in party councils or management, apparently they have to go, as shown in the cases Walter Cohen, Benjamin Davis and others. Those who resist the mandate of Perry Howard apparently will be able to feel the displeasure of the administration by prosecution and indictment, until a jury can be found to return verdict of guilty. This may seem a trifle coldblooded to use who recall that the Republican city has hitherto posed as the great and old friend of the colored brothers, who bound to pay for that friendship by giving their votes for party candidates, hardess of their personal worth or reeds. Then there is not only the effort to build up a two-party system in the South, but to purify the political atmosphere by doing away with the barter of federal patronage. The Federal offices be parcelled out where they will do most good naturally, but instead of owning the National Committeeman to the appointees, such states as Georgia and Mississippi will have a committee of simon-pure Lilywhites to do trick. This may do away with the action of money, even a hog, as anivalent for a post office appointment, whether the political atmosphere will make any purer is doubtful. This effort to build up a two-party system in the South and stop the selling of offices may be a noble experiment, but manner of its execution is not with its hazards. The singling out of the two Negro National Committeemen as only ones engaged in the practice of entering offices was invidious, especially when two trials of the charges against of them resulted in acquittal. Then a cold-blooded elimination of Negro leadership marks an abandonment of the principal principles of Republican policy, namely equality of citizenship. The Negroes of the South will probably adjust themselves to the situation in time and actually find themselves back in politics in their votes become necessary to the success of either party. The tendency of this repudiation of publican principles will have a greater immediate effect among the Negroes of North. They will feel absolved from their former firm allegiance to the Republican party and will be more inclined to scrutinize the record of a candidate and for the man instead of the party; a result of the administration's efforts to placate the Lilywhites in the South to be encourage a division of colored voters in the North.

BELATED RECOGNITION. the action of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, which a few weeks ago predeed a silver cup to Matthew A. Henne, the sole survivor of the little group stood with Admiral Peary, at the Pole twenty years ago, seems to be awakened some interest in Arctic orers by members of the presentgress. Two bills were introduced m The action of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, which a few weeks ago presented a silver cup to Matthew A. Henson, the sole survivor of the little group that stood with Admiral Peary, at the North Pole twenty years ago, seems to have awakened some interest in Arctic explorers by members of the, present Congress. Two bills were introduced in the House of Representatives bearing on this subject. One bill provided that the Director of the Mint be authorized to prepare a die and have suitable gold medals struck to commemorate the heroic services of the following members of the Peary expedition of 1908-1909: Commander Peary, Captain Bartlett, Chief Engineer Waddell, Surgeon Goodsell, Profs. Marvin and McMillan, George Borup and Matthew Henson. Silver medals would be given to the sailors and firemen of the Roosevelt, the steamer which carried the explorers toward the pole. This bill was introduced by Representative Kelly of Pennsylvania. The other bill introduced by Representative LaGuardia of New York, provided for the retirement of Mr. Henson from the Customs clerkship he now holds at full pay. Under the retirement law his normal pay would be very small, as he has served but sixteen years under the government. Thirty years service is required to receive the maximum retirement pay, which is little enough at that. When Congress sought to raise it to a more liberal figure. President Coolidge's economical tendencies caused him to veto the increase. If all this bill proposes to give to Mr. Henson the maximum retirement pay, he had better keep on the active list as long as he is able. Federal retirement pay will hardly cover the bare cost of living in a city like New York. If Mr. LaGuardia really wants to provide for Henson's retirement, let him amend his bill so as to retire him at his present salary. If that is what the bill provides, well and good. ELKS' RULER DEFIANT. In an official proclamation dated 26th June, J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted, of the Improved Benevolent Order Elks, stated that he had deferred to Europe in order to defend the 'against the scurrilous attacks made on the fraternity.' He accused Shaul Bruseaux, head of the detective agency, which ferreted out the evidence of his extravagance in the use of the order, with an inordinate desire to his name in print and with pimping habile statements. The grand exalted ruler threatened to have Mr. Bruseaux's record examined in the courthouse and Missouri, and included promised an examination of the body of the Elks. The latter examination would see more pertinent to the issue raised by Mr. Bruseaux and his agency were the instruments in securing the evidence to show mismanagement and the funds of the Elks. It happened that Mr. Wilson's administration of Elks' affairs that is questioned and the affairs of the Chicago detergency. Mr. Wilson is merely waging his defence by slinging mud and investigators, who have brought to the evidence reflecting upon his administration. The main trouble is, of course, while Mr. Wilson has held the offender exalted ruler over six years, reluctant to surrender it to another, as found it a good thing, lucrative monetary standpoint and considerable and importance upon its mantle. He has posed as an arbiter of order and a potential factor in people has built up a personal folly within the order to retain himself indefinitely, and with the assessee none would dare to oppose him assumed the airs and methods of the order. The conversion of a ruler, however, have been largely the dissension aroused over the loss of waste and extravagance in usages of the order to build up a mind to keep the present ruler in office, for a change to be made in the grand exalted ruler. At the coming session of the judge, the delegates will have the opportunity to present a candidate to succeed present incumbent, on the ground which change would be helpful to the war if the candidate measures up to requirements. New York will likely not such a candidate and other ways do the same. The delegates will write upon the best man presented a capable of constructive achievement the good of the order. By his shall know him. In an official proclamation dated May 1, J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent Order of Elks, stated that he had deferred a trip to Europe in order to defend the order against "the scurrilous attacks made upon the fraternity." He accused Sheridan Brusseaux, head of the detective agency which ferreted out the evidence of wasteful extravagance in the use of the funds of the order, with an inordinate desire to get his name in print and with publishing libelous statements. The grand exalted ruler threatened to have $M_{b}$ Brusseaux's record examined in the course of Illinois and Missouri, and incidentally promised an examination of the books of the Elks. The latter examination would seem to be more pertinent to the issue raised, as Mr. Brusseaux and his agency were merely the instruments in securing the evidence to show mismanagement and waste of the funds of the Elks. It happens to be Mr. Wilson's administration of the Elks' affairs that is questioned and not the affairs of the Chicago detective agency. Mr. Wilson is merely weakening his defence by slinging mud at the investigators, who have brought to light the evidence reflecting upon his administration The main trouble is, of course, that while Mr. Wilson has held the office of grand exalted ruler over six years, he is reluctant to surrender it to another. He has found it a good thing, lucrative from a monetary standpoint and conferring dignity and importance upon its occupant. He has posed as an arbiter of the order and a potential factor in politics. He has built up a personal following within the order to retain himself in office indefinitely, and with the assurance that none would dare to oppose him has assumed the airs and methods of a dictator The conversion of a ruler, however grand and exalted, into a perpetual dictator, is manifestly not for the good of any organization. As an organizer and go-getter in the instituting of new lodges and the enrollment of new members, Mr. Wilson has contributed largely to the growth and prosperity of the order. These gains, however, have been largely offset by the dissension aroused over the charges of waste and extravagance in using the funds of the order to build up a machine to keep the present ruler in office. It is time for a change to be made in the post of grand exalted ruler. At the coming session of the grand lodge, the delegates will have the right to present a candidate to succeed the present inumbent, on the ground that such change would be helpful to the order if the candidate measures up to the requirements. New York will likely present such a candidate and other cities may do the same. The delegates should unite upon the best man presented, who is capable of constructive achievement for the good of the order. By his record you shall know him. AN AFRICAN PICTURE The story of an African savage has kidnapped a boy and carri europe, has been told by himself unt issues of Scribner's Magazine. bory is told by Bata Kindat Amugo The story of an African savage who was kidnapped as a boy and carried to Europe, has been told by himself in recent issues of Scribner's Magazine. The story is told by Bata Kindat Amgosa Ibn --- Lobarola, a name which is a story in itself. In a preliminary note in the first instalment the author of this remarkable narrative was described as a member of the race of "Black Jews" residing in the jungles of Western Africa. Two thousand of this tribe are said to live in the Ando Bush, scattered in about twenty villages. They are entirely black and follow many Jewish customs, celebrate the great Jewish holy days and are ruled by seven hereditary rabbis. Otherwise like their neighbors they are naked black savages, according to Frederick Houk Law, who introduced the author. A striking feature of the story was the native African's first childish impression of a white man before he had seen one of that race, pictured by his mother and the other mothers in that country, as "an outlandish monster." Undismayed by this picture the African boy wanted to see one, which wish eventually was gratified. To show the picture he had absorbed we quote the African's conception of the white race: All I could hear my mother say was that if white men should come—across us, they would eat us.raw. She said they fed themselves only twice in the year, and that then they ate their young, if they could not get the young of other people. They liked children, for better than they did with foot people's. My mother said that white people came as witches from no one where, but just appeared and disappeared. They were formed much different from our own men because every white man had only one of their things. In the middle of the forehead, on leg with three foot shape, so that when he lay down the foot acted as a sunshade. A white man had no visible nose and his mouth was large and could be made larger at will. He lived on raw human flesh, and could be seen in the bush just before and just after the rainy season. That is a pretty weird picture of a white man for a little African boy to carry around with him, but perhaps no worse than some of the pictures of Negroes that have been installed into little white boys in America. WHERE POPULATION COUNTS. Taking up a suggestion by a nationally known university professor, that the Nerros should reduce their birthrate in economic proportion to the white, the writer of "Day by Day," in the Baltimore afro-American, seems surprised because caused not one ripple in the race press. The writer admitted that he believed in birth control but not of a kind that acted into a capitalistic economic system which bars men and women of the race from equitable participation in the nation's production. He insisted that the problem of biology which limits births to ability to provide, should be met not by putting down the birth rate but by increasing the ability to provide. He concluded Taking up a suggestion by a nationally known university professor, that the Negroes should reduce their birthrate in economic proportion to the white, the writer of "Day by Day," in the Baltimore Afro-American, seems surprised because it caused not one ripple in the race press. The writer admitted that he believed in birth control but not of a kind that fitted into a capitalistic economic system which bars men and women of the race from equitable participation in the nation's production. He insisted that the problem of biology which limits births to ability to provide, should be met not by cutting down the birth rate but by increasing the ability to provide. He concluded The relation between births and deaths and the resultant coefficient of relative population increase is the front line trench of racial existence. In this land of growing democracy, population counts it counts in industrial production and as a basis for professional civic development, and as long as there is racial division, colored mothers will be called upon not only to keep production up to normal, but to bring a few more babies into the world to compensate for the unfair disadvantages, caused by economic discrimination which act to produce higher mortality rates. At all events the practice of the old induction to increase and multiply is likely to prevail with the unthinking majority over the university professor's suggestion. Yet, it may be observed that the changing conditions of city life, outside of economic reasons, are not conducive to large families.

The town of Mound Bayou, which recently registered a new claim to distinction in doing away with its jail for lack of patronage, is planning the celebration if its fortysecond anniversary. This will hold the second week in July. The town of Mound Bayou, which recently registered a new claim to distinction in doing away with its jail for lack of patronage, is planning the celebration of its fortysecond anniversary. This will be held the second week in July, which will be known as Homecoming Week. Former residents of the town now living in other sections of the country, have announced their intention of visiting Mississippi to take part. The citizens are all co-operating to make the occasion a great success. Mound Bayou, which was incorporated in 1898 has long been termed "one of the most remarkable towns in the South." It owed much of its prominence to the late Isaiah T. Montgomery, who helped put it on the map as the first Negro town in the United States. Mrs. Mary C. Boozee, his daughter, is a resident of the town and is the Republican National Committeewoman from Mississippi. The settlement of Mound Bayou embraces about twelve square miles of territory. The town has fifteen hundred inhabitants, while the rural district includes six thousand. In this area is to be found some of the most productive farm land in Bolivar county, valued at two hundred dollars an acre. The character of the population may be judged from the fact that the jail had been untenanted for two years and was finally removed as having outlived its usefulness. The mayor and other town officials are all colored. The slogan for the celebration is a bigger and batter Mound, Bayou. To help bring this about the Mound Bayou Foundation has been organized to rehabilitate and perpetuate the town and colony as a memorial to the founders and early settlers. A campaign has begun to The following letter from the editor of the Gary American shows one of the pitfalls that lie before the exchange editor, who mistakenly gives credit to the wrong paper because it publishes a selected article without a credit line: At the risk of being thought cantankerous over minor matters, I am writing this letter to you. I justify myself by reminding you that your column of editorial comment garnered from all Aframerican publications is read with interest each week by practically all Negro editors. In your issue of April 27 you commented on an editorial entitled "Prohibition And The Negro," which was credited to the Cleveland Call and Post. As that publication has not as yet seen fit to send us a copy we need and one there, I am not in a position to know how it appeared in that paper. But I do know that the part you quoted is word for word part of an editorial under the same title written by me and appearing in the Gary American on March 29. I am sending you a copy of it. To you this is undoubtedly a minor matter, but it is rather important to me. It would seem as if the Cleveland paper ran the article in question without a credit line, which may have been unintentionally omitted through haste. Such things happen frequently in the Negro press. Your for better journalism. TARSHAL HARSHAL DAVIS We can only express our regret to Editor Davis, that our confidence was betrayed to the extent of giving credit to the wrong source. When we find a good thing in any of our exchanges, we delight to send it along with credit to the originator. This is more than a minor matter, as it involves the cardinal principles of journalistic ethics. Discussing the benefits to be derived from a regular system of public recreation, the Boston Chronicle said The problem of the adolescent boy and girl would be relatively easy to solve if they were forced to play. Normal boys and girls need exercise in order to grow and develop, which is the right kind of play with the right kind of comparisons and supervision. Most of the delinquents are boys and girls who have lived in an unsanitary, if not, criminal environment because they did not know how to use their leisure properly. Social workers are aware of this, and government officials know that as people learn how to use their leisure, crime rates will decrease. The public school systems are designed primarily for the training of boys and girls, in order that they may become good citizens. Their subjects are not so much to give or receive as to learn history, as to inculcate in one an interest in some type of mental and physical exercise which he can follow after he has left school. In fact, real education begins after one has been reed of the after school program. As President Lowell of Harvard says, "All real education is self-education." In conclusion the editor hoped that everyone would take advantage of the opportunities for recreation Boston offers, with a hint to the authorities to put a local playground in proper condition Referring to the strike of the section mill workers in North Carolina the Star of Lon, published at Charlotte, shed some light as to the minor part played by Negro workers in the following paragraph It is going the rounds of the Negro Press that "Southern Mills Strike, Jeffrey Filtler Capped and White Stand Together." This refers to the strike in the Textile Mills, at Gastonia, N. C. So far as the Negro is concerned, there is nothing to It. As to Communism, the Negroes, down here are not interested in Negroes who were working at the mills are still holding their very ordinary jobs This agrees with the account of the strain, which appeared in the Nation a few weeks ago, in which it was stated that "the iron tradition of the South is that no white man will work in the same factory room with a Negro." In an editorial dealing with Prof. Scott Nearing's new book on "Black America," the editor of the Philadelphia Christian Recorder quoted the author as follows "Some effort has been made to prove that Negroes are mentally, physically and racially inferior to whites. Therefore, less efficient; therefore, less entitled to income or occupational promotion. This propaganda has been through the North during the period of active Negro migration. Much of it has its origin in being in capital and worthwhile people with a view to future agricultural, industrial and civic development. Mound Bayou has shown the capacity of the race in civic government, over a long enough term of years to warrant its permanency as civic entity. Further development is now in order. college classes and laboratories.” Dr. Nearing adds that such arguments avoid the main issue. That is true. Perhaps the worst crime in the Negro region is the-called college classes on “The Negro in America.” In a great number of our universities are half-baked young fellows who take some smattering courses in sociology, who have probably taught South and labobbed with southern white men at school and on their trips through the South, and have come bick and are now giving courses on the Negro. They have absolutely no sense of fairness, their minds are closed and they are unaware of the humiliating minds that are under them, to teach not facts, but propaganda. This is not only in college class rooms but is now gradually getting down in the high schools. The fact is that great numbers of them are unable to depreciate their race; to have no confidence in it from the things they learn in college. White not entirely in agreement with the final conclusion of Prof. Nearing's book, the Recorder considers it "one of the most pointed and thought provoking surveys of the Negro that has been written for many years." --- Emphasizing the need for increased hospital accommodation in Chicago, the Chicago Bee said: For some time or rather since discrimination has crept into our public and private hospitals and excluded or segregated colored patients, the hospitalization of our people has become problematic. Provident, the oldest colored hospital in Chicago, has been able to accommodate only a fraction of our sick. The addition of Wilson Hospital and the Dailey Sanitarium only slightly relieved the situation. The Catholics, observing the death of hospital accommodations for Negroes in Chicago, proposed a million dollar hospital on a site obtained at 45th street and South Michigan avenue. In cooperation with the Catholic sponsors, a group of colored citizens, led by W. Ellis Stewart, recently staged a finance drive that resulted in the establishment of funds totaling over $50,000 to be contributed to Pentecost Hospital. This is an example of self help that commends itself to those seeking to aid us in helping ourselves and is an indication of a growing tendency among us to shoulder our own responsibilities now on by a large group of colored citizens to endow the Wilson Hospital and Medical Foundation, the newly acquired hospital and medical center at 34th and Rhodes avenue, a hospital owned, controlled and operated entirely by Grosso's company, the best equipped and located hospitals in the city. It is now up to our group to come to the aid of the Wilson hospital with all of the enthusiasm, patriotism and loyalty at its command. For the Wilson Provident, Daniel B. Pentecost, will all be cared for the fullest capacities to care for the sick of the centers in which they are located Urgent the support of all these institutions, the Bee hails their growth as speeding the day when prospective nurses and interns, physicians and surgeons, will not be handicapped in their chosen profession. Endorsing the project for a definite program of life insurance education, to be undertaken by the National Association of Negro Insurance Companies, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said It is difficult to conceive or a more worthwhile program of education for our people. In proportion as this education takes root will the terrible economic burden, the physical suffering, and blasted hopes that too generally affect our group when family income that is predicated upon personal labor is 'cut off'. Were it possible for some statistician to compute in dollars and cents the amount of economic waste, the denied opportunities to children, the suffering and handicaps of broken windows and disintegrated homes in this country that might have been averted thru the provisions of life insurance, and the wealth more than equal the annual life insurance premiums paid in America. Life insurance has sweetened a tremendous expansion among our people in the past twenty years, but it is yet far too meagre and poorly proportioned among the very classes, whose potential need for it is greatest. Much of the money that goes into feeling luxuries ought to be going into investments for the future, because our life insurance offers a splendid avenue in which to make such investments. The National organization has a large and growing field for its campaign, which with the decreasing rate of, mortality among the race, should well repay its efforts. The Gold Coast James of West Africa found another phase of Brit the expedition in the report of the West African Currency Board. It said. "It will be recalled here before the institution of the West African Currency Board, which as our members are aware, is a Government institution, the names of West Africa should the same be given in the constitution. In those days gold coins, the raw material for which is still being increasingly exported from this country, could be got for the asking; but the more important consideration is that British silver coins of the designation of foins, shilling, siquences on the West Coast which placed the African and the European on the same economic level in the matter of exchange. An African visiting England could take any amount of silk. "What the Negro Thinks" "What the Negro Thinks", a recently published book by Dr. Robert R. Motson, principal of Tuskegee Institute is being received with wide acclaim by reviewers. North Carolina is moving to the literature of race relations. Many of the large papers of the country have devoted lengthy reviews of the volume. "It deserves to be widely read," says Harry Hansen of the New York World. "It points to cooperation between whites and blacks for the good post-conflict America. But there is nothing truckling about it, nor will the white reader find the author bowing humely before the pretensions of the white mind. Dr. Motson is sensitive to the sufferings of his people, eager for their advance and sure of their capabilities." An editorial, a column and a half long, in The Montgomery. (Ala.) Advertiser points out the helpful nature of the book. It states: 'The thoughtful reader and himself sympathizing heartily with a great deal the author says. It is not possible to follow him the way, but we know of no contribution to the literature of 'racial problems' which if widely read among a wide audience then a fresh viewpoint. There is no ill-will in the book; there is no viteration; there are no sneers.' Heywood Broun, famous columnist in the new York telegram and the Scripture book, sees the volume as "an extraordinary and eloquent book." It is Mr. Broun's opinion that "Dr. Robert Russa Moton is pursuing a logical approach to self and his race a well rounded philosophy. The terms of this philosophy are not unfamiliar, but if Dr. Moton and his men carry it will constitute one of the rare practical applications of a doctrine to which most of us give lip service. In essence his scheme the emanation of a negro is not mere a literal adherence to Christian passivity." In a review widely syndicated through the southern press Howard Mumford Jones of the University of North Carolina expresses his admiration for the southerner will read and ponder what this leader of his people has to say "It is Dr. Moton's humility," asserts John Chambettain the New York Times author who has no cowardiness, no cringing about it, that leads paradoxical force to his book. He is always a gentleman in the true sense of the word. He does not screech, heoves, reflects and ventures his opinions firmly and dispassionately. The Dallas (Texas) Morning News concludes a long review of "What the Negro Thinks with All the Grounds of complaint set down in forceful arrangement, but temperate phrase, constitute an exposition so dignified and charitable that should disarm the prejudice and disarm the sympathetic reader to a new evaluation of the elements of the difficult problem. The book should contribute no little to better understanding of the human constitution, and do much to remedy those factors in the situation which are demedible in the present human constitution of grace and frailty. A Bordages, a Texas reviewing the volume for The New York Telegram, Dr Moton deals with the Negro problem with a fair-mindedness strange to controversy, without corerbige, with laboratory coolness. Lach of the five boroughs of New York City is to have its own telephone directory beginning with the issues for the coming summer, it was announced today by the New York Telephone Company. The city's general manager, the assistant lengthening of the list of telephone subscribers is the cause of the change. The new method is designed to provide telephone users with books that can be more quickly consulted and more easily handled. Telephone directory information for New York City has hitherto been confined to two volumes, one listing subscribers in Manhattan and the Bronx, and the other those in Brooklyn, uena and Staten Island. The directory has increased in size with each successive issue. The current winter directory for Manhattan and the Bronx contains 1,640 pages and lists 643,000 subscribers. The book for the other three boroughs has 1,280 pages and the names of 531,000 subscribers. Each volume weighs about five pounds. Announcements of the new plan for individual borough directories, and of the method to be used in them, are being mailed to all telephone subscribers in York City. Titles are accompanied by return post cards on which subscribers may indicate what directories they will need in addition to those which will be regularly directed to those them covering their own borough. we could still him which he could pass it to us, and as in his own case, the slave who had been abused to the disdainment of the monks' men, for while British counts of all denominations are still kept in West Africa, the Coast coins do not circulate in England. The Englannion coming to the Court may bring with him British England will hold that the West African coins are of the value there. The whole arrangement is illustrative of the ingenious methods by which the British have always scored against the natives while proclaiming themselves as trustees for colored races. The coinage introduced for native use is made of base metal, ostensibly to prevent the boarding of silver, or the saving for a rainy day. Is Mother's Day New? Mother's Day is comparatively new to us put some claim that it is actually a flare-back to the Mothering Sunday celebrated in England on the fourth Sunday in Early in the Christian Era it was the duty of children on that day to visit their parents, taking with them a small offering of some kind—quite often cakes or other sweets. Whether or not our "Mother's Day has any connection with the mothering Sunday, mothering little" thing to us is to see that it is observed so thoroughly that every mother in our land may be made a bit happier on its account. The younger set may not get much of what of many that each month, perhaps Middle-aged women and old women—the mothers of our country—however, will appreciate a box of candy from son or daughter, or even a tiny bag of sweets from sister or brother of the gift that counts, but the fact that one is remembered on this Mother's Day Dad, too, can revert for a day to the period of courtship and pre-commencement. You can gift that brings back memories. He may be so surprised at the pleasure he brings with a box of candy that he will make it a prize he did during coursing days. For "Mother" is still a girl in her likes and desires. Remember he was born day and see how true this is.

Serving Appetizers An inexpensive, cool and delicious little appetizer will go a long way toward making your meal a success and sending your guests home with delight. Even an everyday home-cooked dinner seems to leap into the banquet class when an extra 'frill' like this one is served. Here is one that costs but little yet it is extremely pleasing. Place a lemon juice-filled fruit pulp and equal amount of orange pulp together with a little sweetened juice from the fruits, in small cocktail glasses, away in the refrigerator to cool. Just before serving, heaping a teaspoonful of the juice into each glass. The cream and fruit combine to give a flavor hard to surpass.

Olivet Baptist Church The morning service of Mount Olivet Baptist Church was well attended Sunday, May 5. The pastor chose his text from 2nd Peter 3rd chapter and 18th verse "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We all have a law of growth which applies to all living things. In spiritual life the Christian must be a babe first and should be red on the pure adulterated milk required for its growth. As one grows out of the babyhood stage then one can be fed solid food. Growth is the manifestation of our faith by watchfulness, prayer and work. He warned us to be watchful so as to keep weeds from choking the life out of our spirits, thereby preventing the growth. Conflict, on common has made growth in thought, we can only see the result, we can see the final growth. The The two Bishops assoc'd at Lour At the evening service Re Lies chose his text from Lourk. 8th chapter and 25th verse. "And He said unto them, where is your faith? And they being silent, what matter of man is this? for He com- mandeth even the winds and water, and they obey Him." Subject "Demonstrated Faith." He spoke of the faith that brings Christ down to us and us up to Him. The faith of the woman of Sam- arah, the whole city to believe in Jesus. Faith holds one in time of need, helps one to withstand temptations and finally will carry us to the great beyond where we may see Him in reality. The sermon was forceful and very inspiring. Even people joined the church and $1 729 10 was collected during the day. St. Cyprian's Chapel The preacher at the 41st vice was the new Archerdam in South Carolina.

St. Martin's Chapel Last Sunday morning, the Rev John H. Johnson, vicar of St Martin Chapel, 122nd street and Lenox avenue, chagre for his subject "Victory" drawn from the text, as found in the 33rd verse of the text according to St John I have overcome the world "Dr Rev Maximo Duty assisted in administering the Holy Communion." "Spiritual victory is the kind of victory spoken of in the text" said Mr Johnson, and the Gospel hold tender messages of consolation, intended to bind up broken hearts of the original disciples, as well as the followers of today. Especially is this true of the Gospel of St John This discipline retained this idea even to the end of victory over the world because John had been at the theater. He had uttered well words. "The old theological view was that the world was an evil place, but more modern students of theology teach that the world in which we live is a beautiful and helpful place. Nature teaches the love of God the world owes to God the text means there is a vast evil treachery, dishonesty and murder in the world which it is our duty to strive to conquer. Also we should strive to overcome despondency and the fear of death. These victories can be won because there as a drop of God in all of us and because of our relations to Christ. By communion with Him we will receive the victory for which we are striving. Flowers for the allure were contributed by Mrs Elizabeth Mitchell and her daughter, Miss Baille Mitchell. The May Day Festival last Friday night under efficient direction of Mrs Carl Dinton, sponsored by the choir, was beautifully rendered. The supper served was enjoyed by all The Sunday school of St Martin's is growing rapidly. Mr Reed, the superintendent, urges the mother to send the children each Sunday to the school 10 o'clock.

The Sunday school also has won both the City Mission dramatic trophy and the City Mission track trophy. The first formal reception will be held May 23 at New Star Casino. St. Paul Bapt. Church Tuesday night of last week. E. Jackson the well-known organist of the St Mark's M E Church this city and formerly organist of St Paul, gave a good concert in our church, the participants being his pupie. The one regret expressed by the pastor, and added by the be long enough time to work up the attendance. However, Prof Jackson assured Madame Scott, our organist and the pastor, that he will come again, and then give considerable time in which to work up a good attendance. We thank Madame Scott and Prof Jackson for his pinks for the seture tendered on this occasion. For next night will be long remembered as a great prayer meeting. The members came together, and, without any thing being said, seem to have come for the purpose of getting in shape for the revival that begins on Monday night. Sunday proved to be a day of almost continuous services. Beginning with the Sergeiise service there followed the Church school session; then a service at 4 p. m. under the Praying Band, the sergein being preached by Rev. James E. Williams of Little Mt. Zion, and this was followed immediately by a special program of the B. Y. P. U. under auspices of Miss Julia A. Booker's group, the feature of which was greatly Edith Edith Porr, assistant principal of one of our public school, with remarks by Miss Smith, who accompanied her. Charence Stratton opened the topic with well chosen words, while Miss Agnes Dougherty was mistress of ceremonies. A splendid voice, consisting of eight voices, rendered by the choir, was enjoyed by all present. Alongset it was a good program. Right after this program, as soon as the choir members could robe themselves, the regular service of the evening, took place. The members of the choir, tired, though they were after the strain of the services, sang sweetly. The pastor delivered a professioned faith in Christ, and was received for baptism, while others joined by Christian experience. Our work goes on very nicely and we give our friends in our meetings. Paradise Baptist Church Sunday morning the Rev H. W. Stanley preached a soul refreshing sermon from the 5th chapter of St. Matthew and the 12th verse. His text was "Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. We should praise always and thank for His misunderstandings of us. There many among us who can find so much to complain of that they give little thought of the things for which they should be thankful for. Paul said, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to that they pose" that conditions at times do not correspond to our estimation of happiness; but nevertheless if we are sure of God's calling then we know it is for our good rather than our will. So rejoice and be exceedingly glad; for it is not in our way. But his own way. His will may be done. Sunday evening the sermon was concluded with St. W. H. Stanley. His subject was "The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want." We can be called the flock of the great Shepherd when we become subordinate to His ordinances and laws. We should try daily to purify ourselves and to make knowledge of God. Do not fear evil when God is your helper. As long as we the sheep-remain under the tender care of the Shepherd we shall be safe from evil and shall not be in want for any good thing. The church received $25.50, process of an entertainment given by Mr. and Mrs. Edwards of Southold, L. I., who are members of Paradise Baptist Church, New York City — Miss P. Lawrence, reporter Siloam Presbyterian Church The Sacrament of the Lord's Suffer was administered at the morning hour of worship at Siloam. The message of the morning worship delivered by Dr George Shippen Stark, pastor, was taken from the book of Job, timely and gave the professing Christian much to seriously reflect upon. In his discourse the pastor stressed the truth that religion suffered much because of the lack of concern and sincerity of Christians concerning their obligations as Christians. The same excuses are given today as in the time of Christ. The Christian is social, the scope the same today as to excuses sent to the House of God. God must be publicly worshipped and those who love Him will do it. Strong character are never built upon sincerity and unconcern or weak convictions. A visitor at the morning hour of worship at Henry Half a member who no longer felt the city. A hearty and cordial welcome was extended to her. The Bible School met in season immediately after the morning hour of worship.

The pastor preached again at the evening hour of worship Special features are presented each Sunday by members of the choir under the direction of Will Ann A. Morgan and director of the morning choir Mrs Gertrude L. Martin rendered a solo and the quartett of the choir rendered a selection C Carroll Clark was the guest artist at this hour.

Church "Sometimes we make at times what the world considers rash vows, as Christians, but it must be considered what has motivated us in so doing. If like Jephthah, who is mentioned in the text, it is due to for God, it is safe to be reckless for God. Jephthah had a conviction and a conception of God which was right" This was the dominant note of the pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler was speaking on the topic "Impelled." The text was Judges 11.35. He vividly portrayed the story of Jephthah and his daughter, and his vow. In speaking on his vow the pastor exercise caution this point. We must exercise caution this point. We must vow, we must think before us, but being convinced that we are right we must take the consequent THE es of our actions, and remember the sacredness of our love. We joyfully give the sword of love. We joyfully give a vow to the local church, the local church has given a vow to the community, and the denomination, and the denomination has given a vow to the world. Each should keep it, no matter what the cost. In paying the cost of making the sacrifice we must remember that God does not accept human sacrifices, but the spiritual sacrifice. Another point of the pastor was Queen Christians is that they will not exercise faith and walk on the promises of God; for some time we wander away and are lost, yet when we in sincerity lift up our voices to God he comes to our rescue. Dr. Tyler closed with the thought that things seen are temporary; but things unseen, such as equity, justice and truth, are eternal, and this being true with God and be sincere with Him, remembering the sacredness of our word. In the afternoon, Dr. Tyler, a number of officers and members paid a fraternal visit to St. John's A. M. E. Church in Howard avenue of which the Rev. R. I.

Carlton Avenue Branch Holds Gym Exhibition Under the auspices of the Physical Department of the Carlton ave new Branch Y M C A, a big gym exhibition was held on last Tuesday day evening, April 30th. The entire program, under the direction of H I. Dangerfield, physical director, was in way, a big success. The program included a flag drill by cadet and Junior Boys, of the Boys' Department, who numbered thirty five: three boxing bouts, paralel bar work, high jumping for Cadet and Junior Boys and basketball game between the Concord Girls' Team representing Concord Baptist Church and a team from the Elizabeth Community Center in New Jersey. The first event on the program was the Flail Drill in which the Cadet and Junior Bows participated. This was a beautifully worked out drill led by Mr. Dangerfield the physical director and for which Miss Enid Hinds acted as accompanist. The boss beckoned in white suits with flags on both shoulders performed on true rhythmic style the best bowing in the flag drill. The boss was joined by Williams and James Sweeney. In the high jump contest the spectators were treated to a thriller. The boss separated into groups Cadets and Junior keep the on-bookers keeled up to the high pitch of enthusiasm for the agile was in which they stood themselves over the cross bar and John Williams was the best jumper for the Cadets and Louis Delarte won for the Juniors.

The game was called at the end of the eighth inning, because of a shower, just as the local team was planning a ninth inning rally. Incidentally, it was also the first defeat suffered by the Lincoln this season. Nip Winters, star left hander, was on the mound for the Giants, but he was not in good form, as the visitors made 12, hits in the eight innings of the game Curea, their new shortstop, was the star of the game at bat, getting a home run, a double and a single in four trips to the plate. A costly error by Charlie Smith, right fielder, gave the visitors their main victory in the ninth. Winters two on, Fernandez singled sharply to right field and Smith let the ball get pass him, allowing the two runs to come home. Hildale will come to New York next Sunday and will try to avenge the defeat she suffered at the hands of the Lincoln Giants two weeks ago.

The basketball game between the Concord Girls and the girls from Elizabeth Community Center was More and more in recent years boxing experts have been praising the remarkable skill of the old time colored boxers such as Joe Wallcott, George Dixon and Joe Gans. One such expert, W. O. McGeahan, in his column in The New York Herald Terbune, has rated Joe Gans as the greatest boxer of all times. Mr. McGeahan wrote The Greatest Fighter Somebody writes to ask my opinion as to who was the greatest fighter under the Queensteren Rules Without qualification I should say Joe Gans. The Negro lightweight I say this have known Gans only after his career was supposed to have been very close to an end, after he had been cut loose by his first manager who learned that Gans was in an advanced stage of tuberculosis. Naturally, an practical prize right manager had no particular use for a tubercular Negro fighter, so he gave Joe Gans his unconditional release as they say in baseball. It was then that Gans started to show what he could have done when he had his full health in the exigencies of the prizenground business that kept him under wraps. When Gans went to Goldfield in 1900 to appear in the first night staged by Lex Rickard he was a doomed man and he knew: Only he and his former manager did know it. You may or may not recall that Gans was forced to make 133 pounds ringside to the point Billy Nolan, known as *Douglas Nolan*, discovered that the Marquis of Queensberry Rules made to provision as to whether aighter could weigh in made or with the fighting togs. He found a propisto in the modern rules which said that any point not covered by the Queensberry code must be referred to the London Prizerizing Rules of Brentonton. He waved the book at Lex Rickard and Benny Selig the last manager of Gans, and demanded that Gans weigh in with shoes and fighting togs, which made another pound that the wasted Negro fighter must lose. He was a gaunt figure when he faced Battling Nelson in that ring under the blazing desert sun, but nobody knew how really sick he was. Certainly, he did not show it in that fight. They might have given that bout to Gans on a foul in the first few round. Ivelson Nelson kicked him deliberately in the shirt and spat at him. From the start Nelson was charging Gans and "boring in like an angry little red savage but Gans seemed to be rolling the punches aside with ease, shuffling about flatfooted with apparent languedness. He backed up to the ropes above where Rube Goldberg and I were sitting and kicked up in the creature's thick exaggerated Nelson for a few rounds. From he started to destroy Nelson's features deliberately and effectively. It was one of the most vivid exhibitions of a bout between the perfect type of boxer and the perfect type of fighter that I ever saw. This continued for forty rounds. By that time Nelson had nothing that resembled a human tate. Gana was just a trifle leg weary, but his reflexes were working perfectly. He never missed and he never seemed to be hit. I always felt that he might have knocked out Nelson any time after thirty rounds, but he did not seem to care for this. He wanted to pay him back for those kicks on the shin. Both of Nelson's ages were closing, and if it had gone on much further the "Durable Dane" would have been rendered entirely sightless. The expression on the face of Gana never changed. I can see it yet. He was the saddest and most wistful looking. Negro I ever saw. Never did a shade of anger appear in his face while he was fighting. The tour that ended the fight and gave the decision to trans came in that twelfth round. There has been some difference of opinion as to that blow. But when it landed those two inquiers were silhouetted against the setting desert sun. I was the first to blow my tour. It saved Nelson. It is knocked out. Pictures like that longer in the mind. When Gana Held Back In following the career of 12 businessmen the director moves on the doubt, charged by the Show For Broadway Irving Cooper, the well-known vaudeville booking manager, is entering the field of legitimate productions with a new all-colored musical comedy called "Bomboola." The book is the work of D. Frank Mareus, who did the directing with Bernard Malin. Rehearsals have started. "Bomboola" will make its initial box May 30, Decoration Day, and will come to Broadway the week of June 10. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER Forbes Randolph's Kentucky Jubilee Singer opened Tuesday night at the Maxine Elliott Theatre, in a dramatic presentation with original music Lew Leslie's Blackboard Company is scheduled to open in Paris, France June 7 "Darktown Affairs," with Howard Brown and Speedy Smith his career. For instance, there was the knockout by Terry McGovern I recall correctly, this caused no small scandal in the many art of modified murder Or course, one cannot make excuses for Gans, but there is this much to be said in extinction. Gans has the most consummately clever lightweight that ever lived, and in addition he carried a finishing punch which he could let go at will. The mangers of many of the white fighters knew this, and they would not sign their men with Gans understanding. Gans had to agree or starve as a professional prizefighter. How many of the good ones would face Sam Langford unless the Tar Baby was handcuffed, as the boys say? The first Britt-Gans fight in San Francisco was a case in point. The Leonard Britton fight was so startling like that one might almost suspect that it was plagiarized from that bout in San Francisco. In this bout Britt was allowed to make a wonderful showing against Gans in the twentieth round Gans slipped to the floor as though he had been hard hit. While Gans was on his knees Britt struck him, as Leonard subsequent struck Britton, and Gans was given the decision on a foul Britt was made to appear the better fighter but Gans retained the title. It was quite a coincidence. A a few years later they met again and Britt could not glove on Gans or give him lightly; at will for a few rounds, apparently waiting his time to punish Britt deflate) and thoroughly before knocking him out. Britt saw what was coming and discovered that his ulna bone joined him. He refused to continue. This happened while Gans was suffering from the disease or which he died a few years later. The Fall of Gans In the second Nelson-Gans bout which was held in San Francisco the wasted Negro lightweight was knocked out in the seventeenth round. The race and the figure had become more gaunt. It was a shadow of the old Gans and that look of fixed and wristful melancholy in the Negro's face had become intersed. It seemed that he was hurt hardest because some of his friends had lost their money on him. He said "let me just one more fight with Nelson and bet that I will last twenty rounds. I cannot beat him, but I still can keep any man in the world off for twentys rounds." The third bout was arranged It was cruelly to a dying man, but Gans insisted. He could not train for that would have wasted his waning strength. He merely went through the motions. In that third bout there were times when it seemed that he could hardly shuffle around the ring. In the first few rounds he cut Nelson's face accurately as ever, but toward the last he could hardly keep off the rusher or Nelson. He did-last the twenty rounds, but when he came out for the twenty first he collapsed from sheer exhaustion and deathly illness. The Finishung Touch But in that last bout he dealt a blow that led to the finish of Nelson. In the seventeenth round—as I recall—just before the bell he drove a right under Nelson's heart. They told me later that then Nelson went back to his corner he gasped. I am through. He has broken all of my rules. But the three second whispered "I want you see that he is dying on the floor." Nelson was in an insult ring and the fight continued. But that blow "softened" Nelson for Wolgast. The career of Gans rather indicates that the many art used to be a source game. Mr Walton. A Walton case that it has meant vastly. I wonder. One Full Year on Broadway And Still The Greatest Show On Earth! The FUNNIEST, SNAPPIEST, COLORED REVUE!

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Local 802 is holding at Palm Garden, 306 West 52nd street, near 8th avenue, on Friday, May 10, at 10 a. m. a. meeting "to consider the report of the Committee of Ten." No one will be admitted without their card. The Committee of Ten was selected to consist ways and means to relieve the unemployment among musicians, owing to the influx of mechanical devices They submitted 26 resolutions, 15 of which were approved by the Governing Board. An amendment to elect ten men from the ten largest locals in the American Federation of Musicians to cope with the "machine musical menace," was referred to the International Executive Board. Pension Foundation and Relief Fund of Local 802, A. F. of M, was referred to Governing Board of Local 802 Resolution, No 2, refers to Zoning, and should be of particular interest to all members, bookers and musical contractors. Zoning in its ordinary interpretation means allotting a particular area to musicians, beyond which they cannot play an engagement. In other words, if you lived in Harlem and received a call from say, a customer in Long Island, you could not accept the engagement if Long Island was not in your zone. Every musician can see how his opportunities are liable to be materially hampered Henry Austin, who has been bandmaster of Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, Elks, for several years, has been deposed from his position. For sometime, dissatisfaction has been expressed by the lodge members on the poor results obtained from the band, and the Marching Club, a unit of the Manhattan Lodge, which frequently used the band in its peregrinations, complained of the poor service rendered by the band. Protests were so loud and numerous that a committee was appointed by the exalted ruler of the lodge to visit and interview the band members on their rehearsal night. The committee of five men visited the band, and before interviewing the men, they requested Bandmaster Austin to excuse himself After Mr. Austin had left the room and the bandmen were questioned about finances and other matters the committee, in a summary, told the bandmen that they required a new leader The bandsmen told the committee HALL JOHNSON Presents NORMAN SECON PIANIST HARRY GLICKMAN VIOLINIST Sun., May 12, 3:30 p. m.

Private Phone Audubon 2695 Newark, N.J. "Sunday Call." April 28, on Mr. Sandridge's Newark recital JUSTIN SANDRIDGE'S RECITAL The concert last week of Justin Sandridge, acclaimed as the foremost pianist of the colored race, was a palpity of unquestioned virtuosity. The pouffle Sandridge, after twenty years of study of the planeforate, has been a master of the piano and a famous composer that has seldom been surpassed in local concert halls. Postesting a most gracious personality and every earmark of the artist, his program proved to be an hour of continued delight. It is little known that he is chosen as solist for Mr. Leljnisky's celebrated or chestra of one hundred that they were satisfied with Bandmaster Austin and that without him there would be no band. The committee thereupon declared Manhattan Lodge Band disbanded. The band comprised about fifty men. On a Sunday following the disbandment, a member of Manhattan Lodge was to be buried. Ex-Bandmaster Austin, it is alleged, was approached and asked for the music, but he refused to turn it over. Neither could the uniforms of the band be obtained from the custodian. Manhattan Lodge, thereupon, hired the Knights of the Pythias Band, under the leadership of Bandmaster Phillips, to play the funeral of the deceased member. Last Sunday, needing a band for another funeral, Manhattan Lodge hired Lieut Jake Porter and his band to function. Competition seems to be keen to fill the vacant bandmastership of Manhattan Lodge, as it is reported that the following three candidates are aiming to secure the position: Lieut Porter, present bandmaster of the Pullman Porter's Band and of the regimental band of the 369th Infantry, N. Y. N. G.; Elmer Goodwin, who used to be bandmaster of the Imperial Band; and Oliver Sims, a pianist and trobone player. May the best man secure the post and pay proper attention to his duties after he has secured the post Manhattan Lodge will decide at its next meeting as to who will wield the baton for its band It may be recalled, as was recorded in this column, that about two years ago Henry Austin, bandmaster of Manhattan Lodge, reported that one Sunday morning two men came to his home, held him up with a gun, and departed with money obtained from his safe, which was the property of the band. So far as known, the police never apprehended the burglar Eugene Kennedy, leader of the Arcadia Orchestra, as mentioned in last issue of The Age, charged with working under price by Local 802, and fined $1,000, is still sticking to his claim of receiving $15 per week per man for his weekly wage.

As the situation stands now, three men will have to pay $25 each, four men $50 each, two men $500 each, and a stated above, Kennedy, the leader, $1,000. Kennedy and the two $500 musicians had better "come in" and admit they are wrong. Likely, the longer they stick out lengthens their fine, when and if adjustment is made. Grown statements before a notary public have been submitted to Local 802 by those who had their fines reduced, admitting they did not even receive the $68 minimum price of the job. Why allow, pride to hurt the pocketbook? Even if they pay the original fines, under the known conditions, will it make their statement more readily believed?

"Blackbirds" Celebrate One Year On Broadway Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," the fast stepping colored extravaganza celebrated a full year's run on Broadway at the Elinge Theatre on Thursday evening, May 9 The revue opened at the Liberty Theatre on May 9, 1928 and has such audiences, a record unparalleled in Negro musical shows in the Times Square sector. The history of "Blackbirds" is unique. With the exception of two critics, the production was generally frowned upon by the press of New York Mr. Leslie, however, had great faith in his show. He kept rehearsing the chorus girls at a terrific pace. He made changes in the running order of the show and introduced several new skits, meanwhile keeping the greater portion of the show intact. Because of the unfavorable faces, the show was poor at the start. Friends urged Leslie to close the show and save himself money and worry. Leslie, gored doggedly certain than ever that Broadway audiences would like "Blackbirds" kept on to prove his point. The first four weeks were the most discouraging from a business standpoint ever faced by a producer. The tide turned in its fifth week. Business perked up and kept perking up until capacity was reached in the eleventh week of the season. The capacity ever since. But Leslie was not satisfied with this. He saw opportunities for improving the show and kept making changes. Early in its run he introduced Johnny Hudgins, celebrated pantomimist, in the cast. Only this spring he added Eddie Rector and staged a new choral operetta based on the song hit of the show. But Leslie Baby." Even now he is still busy with his chorus, arranging speedier and more novel steps. The tremendous success of "Blackbirds" was evidenced as far back as last October when demands for bookings on the road became insistent. Leslie immediately organized a second company with Harriet Calloway as the star. The show opened in Boston and ran for three months, a record. It stayed an equally long time. It is now playing one week stands in the East to big business. The company is scheduled to go to London and Paris in June for the summer. Four outstanding Negro stars have been made by "Blackbirds." They are Adelaide Hall, Bill Robinson, Aida Ward and Tim Moore, none of whom was well known to Broadway until they appeared in Lew Leslie's show. Leslie also brought Dorothy Fields and Jimmy Mchugh, co-authors of the production. To the question of the song, Their songs "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "Digz Diga Doga," "Doin' the New Low Down," "I Must Have That Man," and "Dixie" are sung and played in every part of the civilized world. All of the difficulties standing in the way of the installation of sound and talking pictures. In the Douglass Theatre, have been a pair of patrons of Harlem's largest the picture theatre, will, soon have pleasure of seeing and hearing best of the sound and talking picture pictures. The New Douglas is one of the largest theatres in the city and the difficulties in the way of talking equipment were enormous. These difficulties were overcome by the creation of an expensive and specially built equipment which was tested out over the weekend and enthusiastically received by the audience. The very near future will find the world's greatest talking pictures being presented in "Harlem's largest and finest motion picture theatre." Director Robert Vignola, one of Hollywood's ace directors, gathered a remarkable cast, together for "The Red Sword" which will be shown at the Roosevelt Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, May 11, 12 and 13. Marian Nixon will be seen in the role of a lovely Russian peasant girl and William (Buster) Collier as her Cossack sweetheart. Carmel Myers brings all her artistry to a dual role that is one of the most dramatic of her career. Allan Roscoe as the Russian Cossack general and Alexis Demetrius as a peasant complete the cast: The story is laid during those mad years that preceded the downfall of the Romanoff. Though the story does not deal with any political or revolutionary troubles, Director Vignola has inserted such a note of realism that the picture seems to explain many things that the public wants to know.

On the other hand the free on the buncong of some porter cannot idea that not only are the Pullman porter less lot in the handling of their more other climes and places are just as anger. For instance, several weeks ago. The Chicago porter who came to Harlem the hospitable—but which turned to be of a perfect stranger.

John Perkins, the buncoed in flight of the imagination Perkins is on those instances in which considering man in other words, he was simply a porter who one of Harlem's parasites. A short while back, three porters were below 135th street. It was easy to disporters—notwithstanding the fact that a billion is always filled with bag carrier seen the inside of a Pullman car—by the from the side of their bags. Two Negro women of unattactive air and the conversation that ensured ra human porters, on the whole, any more useless, trackster, the bunco man and the social parasite of workers of corresponding class? Away it this way. Are Pullman porters the change in the industrial work when it comes to the sum of their money? According to the statement or out of that and more. It was at a recent gathering of whom might be termed sophisticated, that Pullman porters were the most gullible one, had no reference to any particular instance of prodigals in their naivety, nor was it assumed the seaker had the purely industrial side of mind when he made his charge. Rather it embraced the gullibility of Pullman porters in and parasites. Her who declared that the majority of the men of the race's champion easy marks is an exception of it. He is president of one of the older men among Negro railroad men in these places in and out of the Grand Central Terminal man who doesn't hesitate to speak what he will always be commended as being the most advice oneself; for most philosophers that before speaking once. This philosophy, however, has no corner in the gruff but sincere man spade is a spade with him. He is in his sixties, or thereabouts he exudes man of that age.

Several weeks ago. The Age carried the letter who came to Harlem and trusted it—but which turned out to be the very rhope stranger. The result was, the well-meaning but much poorer Pullmanite when he left the book game gives tilt victim an excuse for being who goes to a city and trusts himself to stranger presents the picture of a simpleton some home for feeble minded people. Yet, John Perkins, the buncoed porter, is not at the imagination Perkins case, no doubt, was in which considering native supervised goods, he was simply a porter who proved to be a Harlem's parasites. While back, three porters were walking down L Street. It was easy to discern that they were outstanding the fact that this thoroughfare always filled with bag carriers some of whom of a Pullman car by the little black bags of their bags. Are women of unattactive air and appearance conversation that ensured run along these him Are Pullman porters, on the whole, any more susceptible to the wiles or the trackster, the bunco man and the social parasite than any other group of workers of correspondding class? (Do let's say it this way. Are Pullman porters the champion easy-marks of the industrial work when it comes to the subject of disposing of their money? According to the statement of one of them, they are all of that and more. It was at a recent gathering of veteran porters, all of whom might be termed sophisticated, that the assertion was made that Pullman porters were the most gullible or all workers. The remarks had no reference to any particular instance in which porters were prodigals in their naivety, nor was it assumed by those present at the seaker had the purely industrial side of the porter question a mind when he made his charge. Rather it was an assertion which embraced the gullibility of Pullman porters in the hands of 40 workers and parasites. The porter who declared that the majority of the members of his group were the race's champion easy marks" is an exceptionally subversive member of it. He is president of one of the oldest local fraternal societies among Negro railroad men in these parts. Every porter who runs in and out of the Grand Central Terminal knows him as a man who doesn't hesitate to speak what he thinks. This trait may not always be commended as being the most diplomatic way of expressing oneself; for most philosophers advise that one should train before speaking once. This philosophy, however no matter how profound, has no corner in the gruff but sincere makeup of this edifice. A spade is a spade with him. Although he is in his sixties, or thereabouts, he exudes exceptional vigor as a man of that age. Always positive and in a voice which requires no repetition of words his expression on any subject is invariable interesting, no matter if it is one with which you might be inclined to disagree. In the assembly cited this man averred that the average Pullman porter, who lived in Harlem, was a numbskull, and when he parted that he was either a spendthrift or an easy mark" for all the one games that flourish in the community. That seems a rather severe arrangement against members of the group in this locality. Even though the accusation really be merited one might say that it is a local condition and these errors should not be charged against the group. Personally, that is the view the writer takes. On the other hand the frequency with which one hears of the bouncing of some porter cannot fail to impress one with the idea that not only are the Fullman porters who live in Harlem, an artless lot in the handling of their money but Fullman porters from other climes and places are just as unengaged. For instance, several weeks ago, The Age carried the story of a Chicago porter who came to Harlem and trusted himself to the hospitable—but which turned out to be the very hospitable—graces of a perfect stranger. The result was, the well-meaning Western man was a wiser, but much poorer Pullmanite when he left this city. The old pocketbook game gives the victim an excuse for being victimized, but the person who goes to a city and trusts himself to the honesty of a perfect stranger presents the picture of a simpleton who has escaped from some home for feeble minded people. Yet, if the truth were known, John Perkins, the buncoed porter, is not a simpleton by any flight of the imagination. Perkins' case, no doubt, was merely one of those instances in which confiding native supervised good judgment. In other words, he was simply a porter who proved to be an easy mark for one of Harlem's parasites. A short while back, three porters were walking down Lenox avenue, below 135th street. It was easy to discern that they were Pullman porters—notwithstanding the fact that this thoroughfare, since Prohibition is always filled with bag carriers some of whom have never seen the inside of a Pullman car—by the little black sacks that dangled from the side of their bags. Two Negro women of unattactive air and appearance accosted the two and the conversation that ensued ran along these lines. Is you gentlemen Pullman porters? "What?" "Well, us ladies has two rooms to let we would like to get two nice Pullman. Two of the porters laughed but the 'Saw lets go and see what the flat look Don't talk foolish.' answered one of the women, he said: 'Sorry ladies, we are located.' What it was plaintly evident that the manade who had heard that Pullman posed the members of the tribe. And thus at Chicago St. Louis or San Francisco the for the annual Saw it one large eastern Pullman occasionally placed where the porters may requested not to make any contract orages in the purchasing of clothes, yet as such found that in most cases, these are where they have been purchased." Now when a corporation has to go to its employees against the most open and one cannot well refute the assertion that schemers and charlatans ladies has two rooms to let in our flat so we can get to two nice Pullman porters for lodgers the porters laughed but the third quite eager and see what the flat looks like. foolish." answered one of the laughing patrons, he said: "Sorry ladies, but you're out of it." was plainly evident that these were a couple had heard that Pullman porters were fertile of the tribe. And thus it goes whether in Louis or San Francisco the Pullman porter is one large eastern Pullman district that is faced where the porters may observe it: "Our task to make any contract or sign any papers for purchasing of clothes, jewelry and other and that in most cases, these articles are far better have been purchased." In a corporation has to go to the extent or was sees against the most open and common forms, well refute the assertion that those employer themers and charlatans. "Well, us ladies has two rooms to let in our flat so we figured that we would like to get two nice Pullman porters for lodgers. Two of the porters laughed but the third quite earnestly said, 'Saw lets go and see what the flat looks like. Don't talk foolish.' answered one of the laughing patrons. Turning to the women, he said, "Sorry ladies, but you see out of luck, all of us are located." Now it was plainly evident that those were a couple or three smalls who had heard that Pullman porters were fertile pastures for the members of the tribe. And thus it goes whether in New York, Chicago St. Louis or San Francisco the Pullman porter is fair game for the artillery. Now one large eastern Pullman district this notice is consequently placed where the porters may observe it. "Our porters are requested not to make any contract or sign any papers against his wages in the purchasing of clothes, jewelry and other trinkets. It is truth found that in most cases, these articles are far below the value at which they have been purchased." Now when a corporation has to go to the extent of warning certain employees against the most open and common forms of gullibility, we cannot well refute the assertion that those employees are easy-mathematical schemers and charlatans.

It will bring more or less favorable financial adjustments, inheritances to many, and opportunities that will lead to success in business of employment. The Sun moves into a conjunction with Jupiter on May 14, and it promises great good fortune to those whose true birthdate is May 14. All those who are fortunate will find some unscrupulous enemies who will try to defraud them out of the good things that will come, for this reason these people should be very careful in their choice of friends. The birthdates of April 21, 22, 23 and 24 will find themselves involved in quarrels and difficulties through friends and relatives. This aspect often brings injury through accidents, burns and cuts to those who are not as careful as they might be. Mars is holding a very adverse aspect all of the week and its influence will not be so strong if patience and good judgment are used. Quarrels are hardly worth while for any one Financial loss through speculation comes under this aspect.

Power Of A Smile Editor of The New York Age I hope you won't look upon me as trespassing on the article in The Age of May 11th, under the title of "The Efficacy of A Smile." The sentiments therein expressed appealed so strongly to me that you will generously pardon me as an interloper. Porter Peter Jones has one of the most powerful weapons for his individual success as a Pullman porter. A smiling countenance covers a multitude of defects in the makeup of the servitor. It is perhaps the most direct method of reaching the pockets of the traveling public than any other means.
