Erskine using the most scathing terms in telling them what he thought of them as individuals and as a dramatic company. Erskine was alleged to have told them that the second "Harlem" company, now playing in Chicago, was an A No 1 aggregation working in fine shape and putting on a good show, but that this first company, which was the original organization, was the worst show on earth, and that he could not be bothered with getting it in shape. "Go Back To Harlem." So, he is quoted, the entire group should go on back to Harlem to write and produce its plays—and starve. Declaring that not one of the group is any good, Erskine is said to have referred to the company as a "bunch of crafty miggers." The group of producers responsible for the presentation of "Harlem" includes Erskine, Edward W. business producer, and one Sarekow, business manager. In a statement from one of the players, the charge is made that from the beginning the colored players have received scant consideration from the management. It is alleged that when the company opened out of town, the salaries ranged from $75, paid weekly to Isabel Washington, the Mary Potter Students Win Chemical Prizes Oxford, N.

And when the $18 figure was agreed upon, it was with the understanding that salaries would be raised as soon as business warranted. But notwithstanding that the audiences soon began to fill the house each night, the promised raise was withheld until the ensemble rebelled. A note was sent to the director on Monday morning, stating that unless the salary adjustment was made, the ensemble would not go on Tuesday night. The note received no answer and when the second act was called on Tuesday night the ensemble inembers were remained in their dressing rooms. A narrow begged and pleaded with the players, but in the meantime rushed messengers to call the second company's ensemble, which was releasing them, and came to the rescue, which they did. In the meantime the business manager is reported to have told the striking group that Mr. Blatt was sixteen miles away and could not be reached, and that Mr. Erskine was broken down from work and wore and was in bed with four doctors attending him. Went Back To Work Some kind of a tentative compromise was reached and the folles went back to their places for the third act. Then, as the curtain went up, in walked both Blatt and Erskine, unconscious of what had happened. Finally, an agreement was reached which the ensemble pay was boosted to $25 a week, but in order to凑 this, the salaries of the principal们 were reduced from $10 to $15 each per week. Notwithstanding that Isabel Washington was the star of the company, and the one player most responsible for the putter over of the pla, the "star" dressing room was assigned to Arthur Hughes playing the minor and insignificant part of the "Detective Sergeant". He was the only white actor in the play, and was played up in the publicity almost to the exclusion of the colored principals even Miss Washington. Two Discharged.

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. The fact that four Southern states gave their electoral votes for Mr. Hoover has embud Republican leaders with the idea that two party government may be reestablished in the South, if it ever existed before.

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. Know New York State --- Forty per cent of all the inhabitants of the the United States live within 500 miles of the center of New York State, an area covering about one per cent of the country's total. Little Falls, N. Y., is the northeastern city in the State to undertake municipal forest management for profit. Four thousand acres of forest are biologically cut and replanted to provide a continuous yield. A new law in New York State permits hunters to kill game with bow and arrows. Heretofore it would be done only with wild deer held at arm's length, or by trapping. New York State with 11 million inhabitants uses more electricity than Great Britain, with 43 millions and four times as much energy as Italy, with 40 million people. The first photograph ever made of the human face was taken in New York City in 1839 by Dr John Draper, who improved the picture, possibly also the make of the first photograph of the moon. Nearly one-fourth of all printed and published matter in the United States is produced in New York State. The Empire State leads all others in steel manufacturing, with a yearly output valued at one and a half billion dollars and a payroll of 240,000 workers. 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.

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.

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? Fletcher Henderson is going on the road for his usual summer jaunt Lou Russell who recently left the Savoy in Harlem, and is pinch-hitting at the Cotton Club for Duke Ellington, takes Fletcher's place at the Roseland Dance Hall on Broadway.

"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.
