N.Y. Sun Writer Slanders Harlem
Director of "Harlem" Denies That He Used Objectionable Language In Notifying Company of Closing
Asserts He Only Exercised His Privilege In Telling ThemTheir Work Had Not Kept Up To Standard; N. Y. Daily News Had Story
"Harlem" Author Threatens The Age
The following telegram was received Wednesday morning. The sender, Wallace Thurman, may be identified as author of the book, "The Blacker the Berry," from which it is reported, the play about Harlem life, which under the name of "Harlem," came to a close just Saturday night at the Times Square Theatre, was adapted by Thurman and a white collaborator, William Rapp. The telegram is self-explanatory and calls for no comment. It reads:
"Advise you to check up on story in issue of May eleventh Also advise you to retract. Will willingly cooperate on any court action against you. Your newspaper ethics are only level of a scandal-mongering moron. Personally know your story is untrue. Hope you get your just deserts. WALLACE THURMAN."
NOTE BY EDITOR: According to information received, Thurman was on his way to the Far West when the reputed incident told of in The Age story referred to happened
Chester Erskine, director of the lately demised Broadway play, "Harlem," a play based on a book, "The Blacker the Berry," by Wallace Thurman, a young Negro, the adaptation being by the author and William Rapp, a white man, denies in toto charges, made by members of the company and published in last week's issue of The Age, that he had called them "a bunch of crafty niggers" and that
they were "no good."
In giving notice that the show would close on Saturday, May 11 Worksirk charged with tering his wrinkle of chanen sauce, and with telling the players that they were giving "the worst show on earth."
Demanda A Retracton
The director, called up The Age office and demanded a retraction of the statements made in the story, but refused to have a personal interview with an Age representative. In denying the charges, he said that he had never heard the term "niggery niggers" (or "artful niggers") before in his life, and that he had never used that objectionable word towards any colored person. He declared that he had been associated with Negro men and women since November, 1928, and that he had always been courteous and kindly in his attitude, and fair in the treatment of them. As to the criticism of the playwright he said he told them frankly that he had fallen away from the standard set in the beginning of their work in the show, as his right was a director, it being a part of the duty he was paid to perform to see that the performers maintained mentorious and worthwhile acting.
Denied Play Was Successful.
If he also denied the statement that the show was playing to "crowded houses" asserting that to the contrary the company had been losing money for several weeks He characterized the members of the company who made the charges as being disgruntled because they had their jobs and criticised them for taking the matter to The Age. Finally, Mr. Erskine denied a that he used "prolane" language as a regular habit, saying it was ridiculous that he did so.
Members of the company, when told Mr. Erskine's denial, simply referred to story printed in the Daily News one of New York's tabloid dailies, on Saturday, May 18 which day "Harrison" closed. The Daily News, in its headlines, said

Blatt the producer
quoted by the Daily News
as saying: "They though they had a whip hand and could make all kinds of demands because the show was a sell-out. But when they thought they were indispensable, and dared us to close the show, Mr Blatt obliged."
"Salko is further quoted as declaring that the Negro players 'can all go back to Harlem and stage the real rap parties. They couldn't appreciate what we were doing for them. They all got swell headed."
Vote To Strike Brings Climax.
The News' story said that the actors voted to strike unless the salary increases were granted, and that the management agreed to grant the advance to the extras provided the principals would accept a cut that would leave the salary budget untouched. (In other words the increase to the entsemble would come from the principals' salaries.) The entsemble refused and decided to strike.
To quote further from the News News:
"With the arrival of Erskine during this bickering and dickering, the climax was reached. He launched into screaming invective, the actors charge, against their acting and their race"
The entire cast of 65 was colored save one, a white man who played the "Detective Sergeant," a minor character, who, notwithstanding the small part he was assigned, was always given the star dressing room with all its attendant comforts and conveniences, while the real star. Isabel Washington, had been compelled to take inferior quarters.
The second company is playing in Chicago, and persons recently returned from there say it is not going so good, while other reports are that it is "playing to standing room."

Mississippi Mob Shoots Negro Worker To Death
(Special to The New York Age.)
Macon, Miss.-Steve Jackson, 65, colored, was shot to death by a mule near here, Saturday night, immediately after he had stabbed and killed Fred McCrayer, 35, a plantation owner, on whose grounds he worked.

One Colored Boy Passes Annapolis Cadet Examination
Annapolis, Md.-When the papers in the examination for entrance to the United States Naval Academy were turned in, it was revealed that one of Congressman Oscar D'Priest's nominees had succeeded in passing the mental tests, and has only to meet the physical requirements to enter the Academy with the June class. The nominee passing was Charles Edward Wheatle had been chosen as an alternate. Wheat is from the same district as Lawrence Alexander Whitfield, named as first choice but it was discovered that Whitfield was ineligible by reason of being past the age limit. The other principal, Claude Hanson Burns, failed to pass the examinations.
1,000 aspirants took the examination and 802 were successful.
Altozo Souleigh Parikian, nominated as principal for the West Coastship, does not have to take the mental examination, as the Military Academy accepts the school ratings of applicants. But he will have to undergo a rigorous physical examination before being accepted.
LOUISIANA WOMEN OBJECT TO HONOR LINCOLN MEMORY Daughters of Confederacy Against School Celebrations
New Orleans, La.-Because a group of Louisiana school children made a trip early this year to another state and joined in a Lincoln Memorial Celebration, reciting "Lincoln at Gettysburg," the Louisiana Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, are up in arms.
At a meeting here on May 9, a resolution was presented by Mrs Jefferson Davis Weir of this city, denouncing the trip, but the women who are of the New South refusal to leave the city were effected by the adoration of a motion urging discountage of Lincoln birthday celebrations in southern schools.
Lincoln as a "Christian gentleman" was the keynote around which the discussion raged, together with the effect the resolution would have on assuring sentimental feeling.

Oscar Waters Receives Indeterminate Sentence For 3rd Degree Forgery
Oscar Waters, well known Harlem politician and head of the Oscar Waters Democrat Club at 131st street and Lenox avenue was given an indeterminate sentence on Wellfare Island May 8 following his plea of guilty to a charge of third degree forgery, in connection with issuance of permits to carry pistols. Waters was arrested December 27, after two Italian burgesses who had been charged with violation of the Sullivan Law produced permits to carry firearms, although neither was a citizen. Questioning by the police brought out the information that they had拍 Waters to get the permits for them and the colored politician stated he secured them from a Judge Priman of Lomb Island. The judge branded the permits a forgery and this resulted in Waters's indictment.

FUNERAL BYRE OF LATE ADELAIDE WILLIAMS AS IT LAY AT THE UNDERTAKER'S
BODY OF CHOIR SINGER WHO DISAPPEARED SIX WEEKS AGO FOUND IN THE HARLEM RIVER Police Investigating Murder Theory But Friends Believe She Jumped To Death From High Bridge
The body of pretty Adalaide Williams, 29 years old, a former choir singer, who disappeared from her home at 3582 Fish avenue, The Bronx, on the evening of March 21, was found in the Harlem River, near 196th street, Friday, May 10.
An autopsy revealed that all the ribs on the right side of the body, her right arm, and several other bones were broken and for this reason detectives of the 16th Precinct, under Sergeant Samuel J. Battle, are conducting an investigation on the theory that she met with foul play.
But friends believe she committed suicide by jumping from the high bridge across the Harlem River from the Bronx to Washington Heights at 180th street.

Only A Week In Water
From the autopsy the body did not appear to have been in the waist more than a week and there is some mystery as to where she was from the time of her disappearance until she jumped or was thrown into the river. The family cannot understand why she would want to leave home in the first place. She appeared to be in good health and in reasonably good spirits. They moved from Harlem to their recently acquired Bronx home last November and from that time until her disappearance the family had been busily engaged in getting

Harlem Citizens Are Indignant Over Misrepresentations Contained In Copyright Article In N. Y. Sun
Writer Charges Harlem Is City's Problem, That "Slums" In Neighborhood Are Menace, And That Climate Is Against The Negro
What is declared to be a studied and deliberate attempt to misrepresent Harlem and its citizenry is seen in a copyright article appearing in the New York Sun on Saturday afternoon, May 16, written by Lemuel F. Parton, which declares that Harlem is not only a civic problem, but that the economic system fails to absorb the growing Harlem population.
His speculations as to the increasing population may have some basis, say well informed citizens, but his statement that there is "creation of new and badly congested slums" is entirely without

FORD FACTORY TO BE BIG HELP TO HARLEM LABOR Company To Erect Plant On 30-Acre Site On Hudson River
According to an announcement in the daily press on Tuesday, the Ford Motor Company, which for many years has considered the establishment of a manufacturing plant on the waterfront of New York Harbor, has just purchased from the New York Erlson Company a tract of about thirty acres at Edgwater, N. J. for the purpose of building a large plant for the manufacture and assembly of Ford products, which will comprise their largest unit in the East. The new plant will have a frontage of 820 feet on the Hudson River, and will handle all their export business. The water leading to the properties is of sufficient depth to permit the handling of deep draft steamers at their own docks. Work on the proposed plant and docks is expected to start within the next sixty days and the factory will be in operation within a year. The site lies directly opposite 100th street, in close proximity to Harlem. For that reason, it is expected that much of their unskilled as well as skilled labor, will be drawn from the Harlem market. The Ford Company at present has a small assembly plant in Long Island City and a large one in Kearney, N. J. At both of these plants colored labor is employed

From a switch at Fifth avenue and 65th street Police Commissioner Whalen, at noon Tuesday officially, placed in operation the new traffic control system from 60th street to 135th street on Fifth avenue and from 69th street to 135th street on Madison avenue. Both new systems were installed at a cost of $41,000 and will be controlled from the central tower at Seventh avenue and West 30th street. It will fill a crying need in this community as pedestrians will be able to travel with more safety than heretofore and the motorists will be greatly benefited. In the near future the Lenox avenue lighting system will be placed in operation, and work has been started on the Seventh avenue system.
Bishop Jack of Orthodox Church Returns To N. Y
His Eminence Bishop Jack, his son, and Rev Sister Ida H Rowe, deacons of the Orthodox Church, arrived here by the $ \textcircled{1} $ Vandyk. The bishop is pleased with the work done by his co-workers and said to Leut Lads Semper Well done. He has ordained her deacons. The Orthodox Church is ready to receive an American lady musician citizen to serve as deacons during winter in America and during summer in bodies, with headquarters in Barbados. The bishop is at 145 West 128th street where he conducts divine worship and performs marriages, baptisms, etc.
but his statement that there is "creation of new and badly congested slums" is entirely without foundation.
It is pointed out that the Harlem residential region comprises what is said to be the choicest living section in Manhattan, save perhaps the Riverside Drive section. Even the old-law houses, it is said, are in better condition than many of the buildings occupied by the better classes in other sections, particularly the lower East Side.
No "Sluma" In Harlem.
Police officials whose duties bring them to Harlem declare that there is no "slum" section in Harlem despite any assertion to the contrary, and that the Harlem citizenry has made a record for law observance not surpassed by any other racial group within the confines of Greater New York.
The late Capt. Archipoli, who was stationed at the West 135th street police station, declared on several occasions that there was less violation of the law in Harlem than in any other section of the city.
Parton, in his article, referred to "Harlem, with its blaze of Negro theatres, with the names of Negro stars in electric lights" as a aureo to strengthen its economic base. He did not point out that there are only seven important Negro theatres in all of the Harlem territory, from West 125th street north to the Harlem River at 155th street, and from the East River west to the Hudson, and that these are scattered from 125th to 152nd streets.
Citizens Deny Charges
Men in positions which throw them in contact with all classes of Harlem's population, declare without equivocation that there is no basis for the allegations made by Parton in this article.
Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, from the 21st A.D. said that there is considerable unemployment in Harlem at this time, but conditions generally are not as had as painted.
Referring to a statement by Parton that "There is congestion, poverty and bewilderment here, and there is accumulating evidence that the climate is hostile to the black folk from sunnier lands." Alderman Hawkins declared that the statement "gives me a laugh I came here from the South over twenty-five years, ago, and my health has not been impaired Nor has that of any of many of my Southern friends." he concluded.
The Rev Richard A Bolden, assistant pastor of St Marek's M. F. Church, the congregation of which church contains hundreds of folks from the South, with varying periods of New York residents, declared with emphasis that "Conditions in Harlem have been greatly exaggerated in Mr Parton's article."
Dr. Godifire Nurse, 185 West 135th street, does not think the article will be harmful in its effect even though it does contain exaggerations and mis-statements. "So many writers have pictured Harlem as a land of milk and honey with many wealthy Negroes, many people have gained a wrong impression. Mr. Parton's story serves as a corrective by giving the other side of the picture."
Attorney Ralph Warrick 200 West 135th street, says, "Harlem has no street that can compare with some of the slim sections of the eastside. In these eastside streets the population is much denser, the streets are narrower and the houses are older and in even more delapidated condition than any in this section. Neither can it be argued that unemployment is peculiar to Harlem. I think it is general."
Dr. Henry O. Harding who is a member of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee, with the aid of a noted statistician, is compiling figures from 1928 reports on the death rate in Harlem from tuberculosis. Figures mentioned in "Mr. Parton's article were taken from statistics of 1927 or some previous year, he stated. Dr. Harding's figures will be published in The Age next week.
At last the sun has continued, for several unbroken days, to shine upon us, and it looks as if spring has come. We begin to feel the lure of the open, and it really isn't so easy to carry on clubs and classes these nights. With daylight saving, the sun stays up so late and the air is so soft and inviting astwilight comes, that indoor activities lose their appeal and eight o'clock activities are apt to begin at nine.
On the other hand, the year's work is not yet complete and the girl who buckles down and finishes her task, despite the soft spring air, shows real character. A large number of girls and women are expecting to receive certificates and diplomas in various subjects at commencement which comes on May 29, and the reward of sticking to it through these last difficult weeks will be—Success.
The girls in the clubs—both Girl Reserves and older girls—are carrying heavy responsibilities now also. They are working to raise money to send girls to summer conferences and camps. With them, hard work in May will mean many happy, healthy days in July and August. Whether the girls travel up to Camp Maqua in Mame with silver birches, dark pines and shimmering lake; or whether they sail in the big white boat up Lake George to Silver Bay in the beauty of the Birkshires; or whether they go to the Industrial Girl's Conference at Summit Lake Camp with its rustic charm—to whichever place they go they will find the reward of labor in the incomparable thrill and profit of a few weeks of living in the great out-of-doors.
And so, through the month of May, our shoulders are still at the wheel. The Thursday night membership group will give a short play and program on Thursday evening, May 16; the Beaux-Arts Club girls will give two one-act plays on Thursday evening, May 23; the Education Department will hold its commencement on Wednesday evening, May 29, and an exhibition of work done in classes on May 28 and 29. The annual spring recital given by the dancing classes will be held at Children's Theatre of the Heckman Foundation on June 7. These classes are instructed by Miss Vivienne Roberts and the supervision of the Physical Department of which Miss Leolya Nelson is director. The Girl Reserve schedule will be announced later.

There was also a purse of $200 from the Com- munity of the Church, which Attorney Aaron Smith is president, and contributions from many individuals members and friends.

The only addresses of the evening were by George E. Voting president of the trustee board, on behalf of the church, and by Attorney Aaron Smith on behalf of the public.

HOSPITAL DAY IS OBSERVED AT THE HARLEM HOSPITAL
Hospital Day at Harlem Hospital, Dr. Rudolf Rapp, superintendent, was marked by an increased number of visitors during the afternoon visiting hours; by gifts of flowers for the patients from local churches, and by singing of hymns and Spirituals in different wards by a group of missionary singers.
Many of the visitors came as a result of the strikingly attractive posters which had been made by pupils of the various Harlem school schools, some of them being more than ordinarily artistic. According to Miss Anna Betz, head of the social service department, one of the most beautiful of the posters was one created by a young girl student at Junior High 136, Wilma Bobson. Many of these posters were displayed in the windows of Harlem stores and in the lobbies of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.'s and other public buildings, and attracted much favorable comment. These posters are being kept in-Miss Betz' offices as a permanent exhibit.
Mrs. Sarah J. O'Brien, superintendent of nurses, was on duty with Dr. Rapp, to welcome the visitors and she detailed a number of the probationers from the Nurse Training School to serve as escorts for the visitors who desired to inspect the various departments of the hospital, all of which were opened to the visitors during the afternoon.
Members of Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zlon Church, the Rev F. D. Douglas, pastor, who wore flowers to the morning service in token of Mother's Day responded to a suggestion and piled the flowers they were wearing on train, be carried to patient in the hospital during the afternoon, which was done, and flowers were also brought by a group from Shiloh Church. A choir of missionaries asked and was granted permission to sing in the various wards, which was greatly enjoyed by the sick folk.
The posters were made by pupils from P. S. 68, Miss Shirley Friedman, principal; 90, Miss Louise E. Tucker, principal; 119, Miss Anna E. Lawson, principal; 157, Miss Abbey B. Plandel, principal; Junior High for Girls, 136, Miss Flise W. Aornmann, principal; Junior High for Boys, 139, Dr. Jacob M. Ross, principal.

ANNAPOLIS AND WEST POINT.
The announcement that Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago has named three boys from his city as candidates for the United States Military Academy at West Point and the Naval Academy at Annapolis has aroused a lot of speculation in both the white and colored press, based on previous experiences of former candidates for training at these institutions. The Brooklyn Eagle, usually fair and unbiased in its opinions, holds that thinking Americans will not congratulate the young men nominated, because they are on the firing line and "only heroes choose to be martyrs." That is a severe, unintentional, indictment of the caste system practised at Annapolis and West Point.
After reciting the fact that although three Negroes from South Carolina were admitted to Annapolis during the Reconstruction period, not one has graduated from that institution since its organization; the Eagle concluded:
ANNAPOLIS AND WEST POINT.
The announcement that Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago has named three boys from his city as candidates for the United States Military Academy at West Point and the Naval Academy at Annapolis has aroused a lot of speculation in both the white and colored press, based on previous experiences of former candidates for training at these institutions. The Brooklyn Eagle, usually fair and unbiased in its opinions, holds that thinking Americans will not congratulate the young men nominated, because they are or the firing line and "only heroes choose to be martyrs." That is a severe, if unintentional, indictment of the caste system practised at Annapglis and West Point.
After reciting the fact that although three Negroes from South Carolina were admitted to Annapolis during the Reconstruction period, not one has graduated from that institution since its organization; the Eagle concluded:
But granted admission to Annapolis or West Point, the Negro boy is faced by common hostility. The herd impulse of the white boys is determined by those who want to make things uncomfortable for him. His is a worse isolation than Robinson Crusoe. He is not only lonely but terrific by the enemies. The strain is terrific. Day after day, week after week, month after month, it wears on him. He is a wonder if he does not break down, as others have before him.
That is why congratulations for the De Prist appraisal of order. On behalf of their race they may make a protest gesture for equality. That this cannot be more than an idle gesture is a safe prediction.
It sounds from this as if the Brooklyn paper either wished or feared the unjust war raised against Negro cadets should be maintained both at West Point and Annapolis. That it is not insurmountable has been shown by the graduation
It sounds from this as if the Brooklyn paper either wished or feared the unjust bar raised against Negro cadets should be maintained both at West Point and Annapolis. That it is not insurmountable, has been shown by the graduation of three members of the race from the latter institution, with the rank of lieutenant, all of whom served for, a greater or lesser period in the regular army. In the order of their appointment they were: John H. Alexander, Henry O. Flipper and Charles Young, the last named having died with the rank of Colonel, he having earned the respect and esteem of his fellow, officers, although he was kept out of the world war by premature retirement.
Nine others are said to have attended Academy for a time, but none of them graduated. Their names, as given in the Montimore Herald and Commonwealth fire: James W. Smith, South Carolina, 1870-1874; Henry A. Napier, Tennessee, 1871-1872; Thomas Van R. Gibbs, Florida, 1872-1873; John W. Williams, Virginia, 1874-1875; Johnson C. Whittaker, South Carolina, 1876-1882; Charles A. Minnie, New York, 1877-1878; William T. Andrewn, South Carolina, 1885-1886; William A. Hare, Ohio, 1885-1886; William W. Halloway, South Carolina, 1886. Students who attended the Naval Academy were John Henry, Conyers, South Carolina, 1872-1873; Alonzo C. McClean, South Carolina, 1873; and Henry E. Baker, Mississippi, 1874-1875.
The hazing of Cadet Whittaker at West Point brought the methods adopted to make life miserable for the colored cadets into the Federal court in this city, where Prof Richard T. Greener and Col. Asa Bird Gardiner took part in the legal contest. It finally developed into the absurdity of concluding that Whittaker must have bitten his own ear, as all the other cadets had an alibi. At Antapolis, Henry F. Baker resented the insults offered him by assaulting one of his aggressors, which resulted in his leaving the Academy.
Let us hope that with the general sentiment aroused against hazing in general and especially in a government institution, and the better relations growing between the two races, the DePriest candidates may not encounter the rabid prejudice that met their predecessors, and which three of them successfully overcame. These three young men should not be overwhelmed by the flattery incident to their having been named for appointment, but should prepare themselves for the physical and scholastic tests that are preliminary to their entrance.
OVERSTATES THE FACTS
The recent Finding conference held at Durham, N.C., last month, gave us to some newspaper controversies, which are still arousing echoes from as far West as Seattle. The Enterprise of that town, which claims to be "the Northwest's most popular and widely read newspaper," took issue with a statement credited to Anthony Overton, the Chicago banker, alleging that the Negro press is muzzled. Under a headline of big black capitals running across the first page, it proclaimed: "Whites Control Negro Newspapers." It printed the following account of Mr. Overton's remarks:
Anthony Overton, Chicago banker, started the conference when he declared nineteenth of the colored weeklies are controlled by whites.
Mr. Overton said the colored weeklies are mustered because they are printed in white printing offices which refuse to print sharp criticisms of the white race.
Many colored papers, he said, are represented by an advertising agency which has a rate for colored advertisers than for white. The Illustrated Feature Section now run in many newspapers, he said, is also controlled by the agency and edited and managed in their interest.
Mr. Overton declared, also, that he had made a Bible for himself by rejecting certain passages and beliefs, and believed unacceptable. The story of Pharaoh's daughter finding Moses in the bullrushers was one part of the Scripture which didn't teach him that didn't think it suitable reading for children.
Mr. Overton declared, also, that he had made a Bible for himself by rejecting certain parts of the Scripture which he bead unacceptable. The story of Pharaoh's dinner finding More in the willful rushes was one part of the Scripture which he had rejected because he didn't think it suitable reading for children.
In an editorial querying "Our Papers puzzled?" the Enterprise asserted that if Mr. Overton would turn aside from his adding machine long enough, to read certain Negro papers, he would find that the Negro press is more independent—and courageous than ever before. It was warranted that it may be true, especially in Chicago, that a few Negro papers have white stockholders, but these stockholders do not seek to muzzle the papers; they are mostly Jew owners of advertising agencies whose interest is wholly for profit. The Enterprise gave as its experience, that white people are more interested in exposing injustice and wrong against black people than black people themselves, which may apply to Seattle, but is as much of an over-statement as Mr. Overton's original remarks.
While Mr. Overton's strictures as to colored weeklies being muzzled, because some of them are printed in white printing offices seems weak, there is more ground for his criticism of the surrender of control to white advertising agencies and the illustrated feature section syndicate, which skims the cream of their advertising.
What interests us most about this matter though is Mr. Overton's censorship of the Bible. Is he qualifying as a successor to Anthony Comstock or for the presidency of a Watch and Ward Society in Chicago?

NO SLUMS IN HARLEM.
Another newspaper alarmist emerged om obscurity last week to exult in the melight of the first page of the New York Sun, once a brilliant morning summary but now appealing for patronage "the first afternoon paper with the clearing House numbers." This sounder
Another newspaper alarmist emerged from obscurity last week to exult in the limelight of the, first page of the New York Sun, once a brilliant morning luminary but now appealing for patronage as "the first afternoon paper with the Clearing House numbers." This sounder of the latest alarm has discovered that "Harlem Becomes a Problem," or so the headlines over the article announced. Lemuel F. Parton, the writer of the article in question, began his hysterical out break by saying: "New York City is just beginning to realize that it has a perplexing problem in the rapid growth of its Negro population, the failure of economic facilities to absorb them, the creation of new and congested slums and the inevitable racial considerations arising from the growth of a great black metropolis within the borders of the city."
So important have the writer and publisher of this article considered it, that it not only bears a copyright line, but also the additional warning of "All rights reserved," which undoubtedly includes the stage, the screen and the talkies. However, the right to question the writer's statements and to disagree with his conclusions remains, so we may consider some of his misconceptions and half-truths, both of which contribute to paint a picture of Harlem far from the actual facts. In the first place, there are strictly speaking no slums in Harlem. While there is congestion of population, inadequate housing and unsanitary conditions in too many of the tenements, there are no such conditions of vice and squalor as may be encountered in other sections of the city.
The blaze of Negro theatres, with the names of Negro stars in electric lights, the hotels, cafes, restaurants and business enterprises, that the writer pictured as a lure to Negroes throughout the country, do not bulk so large when one stops to enumerate them. That is one of the principal drawbacks to the progress of the race in Harlem, that the development of business enterprises has not kept pace with the growth of population. Congestion, poverty and bewilderment on the part of the newcomers may prevail for a brief period, but in most cases they soon
becomes adjusted to their new environment and quickly adapt themselves to city ways. The high rate of mortality from tuberculosis, shown in a recent study by the New York Health Department, may be partly attributed to bad housing congestion of population and lower economic levels of subsistence, due to difficulty in securing employment. But the idea that the climate is any more hostile to blacks than to unacclimatized whites is preposterous. The black man has demonstrated his ability to withstand the rigors of any climate found in the United States, from the Gulf to the Great Lakes. All he requires is to observe the rules of health and possess the economic ability to protect himself against the extremes of cold and wet. His powers of physical endurance have been tested too thoroughly by the hardships he has met and overcome during his sojourn on this continent. Even the scourge of tuberculosis is being overcome by proper care and treatment, and the death rate is shown to be decreasing.
While the economic facilities for the development of the race might be greatly improved, both in the matter of promoting and supporting trades and industries of their own, as well as finding more places in the diversified field of general industry, the situation is not as hopeless as the Sun writer paints it. A recent survey revealed that the Negro is represented in nearly all the occupations and industries practiced in this community. The race is making its way into the needle trades as a union worker, and is visible in the ranks of both skilled and unskilled labor. The conditions in Harlem are by no means as hopeless as they have been painted.
There is no more a problem involved in the growth of the Negro population of Harlem, than in the growth of any of the other racial groups of New York's cosmopolitan population. There is less in fact, because the Negro is thoroughly American in his origin and training. His three centuries on this continent have enabled him to absorb the spirit of American civilization, that is the better part of it.
LINCOLN IN THE SOUTH.
According to an Associated Press dispatch from New Orleans, the old South clashed with the new over the vexed question of the greatness of President Lincoln, and the propriety of Louisiana school children paying homage to the preserver of the Union. The scene of this encounter was the meeting of the Louisiana division of the Daughters of the Confederacy, which declined to adopt a resolution regretting that the school children from that state had made a trip to another state, and recited "Lincoln at Gettysburg" at a Lincoln memorial celebration.
The failure to adopt the resolution of disapproval was a victory for the new South, but the old South was mollified by the adoption of a resolution urging that the observance of Lincoln's Birthday be discouraged in Southern schools. The character of Lincoln as a Christian gentleman entered into a spirited discussion of the resolution, and a compromise was the outcome of the differences of opinion expressed. One delegate went so far as to say: "We all know that Lincoln was not a great man. We know that he was not the fine Christian gentleman he is said by partisan historians to have been. How can Southern children learn this truth of history if they go around paying homage to his memory?"
Of course from the point of view of the unreconstructed South, this speaker was entirely right in her contention, but it is significant that this attitude of the Bourbons, who never learned anything new nor forgot anything old, is losing its power to sway the South. The fact that the first resolution was defeated shows that there is a definite resistance to maintaining the hostile attitude of the South, as formerly shown in the violent abuse of Lincoln as a tyrant and oppressor. That this hostility is growing weaker, and the newer generation is coming to celebrate Lincoln's birthday, is an omen of promise for a new South that shall put aside the hatreds and prejudices of the past.
The celebration of Lincoln's birthday in the South should be encouraged, the Daughters of the Confederacy to the contrary.
INTOLERANCE IN NEW JERSEY.
Alloway. New Jersey, leaped into prominence in the press reports last week, because some of its citizens were alleged to have issued warnings to colored residents to leave the town. Mobs are said to have thrown stones through the windows of residents thought to be colored. A telegram of protest against this disgraceful situation was sent to Governor Larson of New Jersey by the National Association for the Advance-
ment of Caledon, People which brought the prompt response, "Governor Larsen has recieved your telegram and has taken the matter up with the Department of State Police, who are investigating the matter."
New Jersey has not been altogether free from such instances of intolerance in the past, but New Jersey justice

THE REIGN OF TERROR which has followed in the wake of the murder of a police officer at Barlae is only reminiscent of the black days in the Punjab. Immediately after the alleged murder, Congress workers have been, stowed away and indiscriminate house searches have been made all over the District. People are being harrassed litigants are being questioned and indiscriminate sundry other-petty-pin-pricks are being ingulged in by the underlings of the police. During the last Martialization Examination, it was reported that some outside candidates while taking, rest in the court-yards of the police, were alleged to the Police Station, at night. Nor are these all. Even ladies have not been spared insult and humiliation. It is becoming increasingly clear that the local authorities want to crush the nationalist movement to the point that the Police Committees, Office-bearers of the Youth League are being regularly called at the Police Station and questioned as to how the Congress funds are being manned, financed and controlled in the District, the police force is requested to produce a bail of Rs 20,000- as security nearly 1,500 dollars.
The Bomb Explosion in The Assembly and Lakers Outrage.
The news of the dropping of the two live crackers in the Legislative chambers in Delhi is received by the public with gravest concern. It is rather surprising that despite all the scrutinies of the police always force the office of admits in the Assembly to all outsiders failed at this particular time,—at a time when TRADE DISPUTE BILL passed its third reading under the teeth of nationalist opposition and when Mr. Patel the speaker of the house, the prime minister, statement in reference to the power of the chair to allow a motion on the PUBLIC SAFETY BILL which he has ruled out of order yesterday. Assuming for the sake of argument that there is some revolt against India, the alleged Socialist party, whose circulars were, immediately scattered in the Assembly. In view of the fact that the Government engages Agents to perpetrate such crime testimony being the author of the crime, the writer is not inclined to believe in the childish creditility of the Government of India's assertion that there is a RED PLOT. If this is a regular plot, say with the assistance of Moscow money as it is alleged, the sturdy labor workers numbering 31 are kept in Meerut jail without trial for a number of days. In this connection, the writer learns from a reliable source that a conspiracy was laid out by some agents to connect the sturdy labor workers were posted at the respective addresses to assist the throwing of the bombs, etc. . . and mind some algebraical

7 CITY TESTS - Applications Open-Male Stenographer Test For Young Men 18 Years or over—Now is the chance for our young men stenographers to get into the Service (entrance salary is good and the chance for advancements are many. Send for your applications next. Applications for new City examinations are now being issued in Room 1400 Municipal Building, Manhattan. Other six examinations are—Physician, Gr. 4. (Drug Addiction), Nurse, Gr. 4. Assistant Engineer, Gr. 4. Assistant Electrical Engineer, Grades 3 and 4 and Draftsman, Gr. 3. The practical tests for Clerk, Gr. 2, with knowledge of Addressograph, are being held on the following days—May 14, 15 and 15 will be examined. A large number of our girls and boys are taking this test.
A new examination is pending for City Nurse. The last examination was held January 5, 1928, with 92 names on the eligible list, and last week No. 89 was appointed, with an annexed list of Civil Service Commission Again Opens Door To Labor Jobs-Applicants must be at least 21 years of age. Applications obtained from the Municipal Civil Service Commission. The examination include the following- Hostler, Licensed Fireman, Paver, Ramer, Stableman, Cleaner (Woman) Educational Department, Driver, Asphalt Laborer, Machine woodworker, Carrier, Body Maker, Clock Repairer, Elevator Constructor's helper, General mechanic, house repair, machine woodworker, nickel plater, rubber tire repairer,船 caulker, stone cutter, water tender and well driver.
A large list was certified last for the City Service. The largest certified for the type was the Stonecutter-Type, next largest, Typewriter-Complat and the third largest was the list for Clerk.

has the reputation of being prompt and effective in its methods of enforcing the law. This was shown in a recent case in Jersey City, where a police official was summarily dealt with because of an offence committed against a woman. Mob law should not be tolerated for a moment in a state like New Jersey.
theorems were circulated in violet ink, bearing resemblance to the writing of a police C. I. D. who called on a Labor Member in the last arrest, it then said he questioned it, when said that he was questioned a day previous to his arrest whether railway lines or communication have been cut off.
In this connection, a link is found in the brutal murder and cowardly assassination of Rajapal, the author of Rangla Rasul at Lahore, who was killed by his cult, and his book two years before had stirred great opposition amongst Moslems. Swami Shradhananda of revered memory over two years back was murdered by a Moslem fanatic. The presumption corrected the follicle may be brawn behind the murder at this psychological hour when the Nationalists in the Punjab have been busy making preparation of the Congress at Lahore for the coming session, and Hindus and Moslems are equally interesting to the faction of their neighbors in Afghanistan.
The darkest cloud is not, however, altogether without its silver lining. While the public feeling has been naturally exasperated by the cowardly murder, it is reassuring to some extent from a press report that the university has attached to the heinous crime and leaders of both sections condemn the outrage in .unqualified term." While this happened the Government hastily promulgated an order under Section 144 of the Cr. P. Code prohibiting processions and meeting within municipal limits for persons of colossus of thousands gathered in the compound of the hospital to pay their tribute to the departed soul. This shows the depth of popular feeling but instead of seeking arbitrary measures the bureaucracy used its .regulation lathis (thick ironclad stick) to clear the path of the attacker for the assault. Bhai Parmanand who is a Congress worker, and who has suffered even transportation, a graduate of the American University and a true Nationalist received lathi blows on the back. Dr. Khaneh, the General Secretary of the Provinces of the Congress, received lathi honor "while he was reasoning with the crowd asking them to disperse peacefully."
The service of LATHI (ronald thick Stick) is being evidently pressed into requisition too frequently in India. One wonders if responsible British Statesmen have been aware of the effect of the repetition of this outrageous process of maintaining "law and order."

Referring to, a monster, pregnant, held to commemorate, the opening of the white settlement of Oklahoma Territory in the 1800s, the Black-Dispatch of Oklahoma City said:
"When the Choctaws, Seminoles, Creeky, Chickasaw and the Cherokee, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, they brought with them to the Land of the Fair Gods their black slaves, these slaves, as they years passed on were emancipated. Many of them were taken by the Indian for Lincoln's freedom. Contrary to the white, man's ruling, except in the ruling, and the law of the Cherokees, the Indian intermarried with his former black slaves, and the Indian began to grow stronger into the life and blood of the Indian Territory.
A pagenet-such as was 'staged at the Fair Grounds last week is incomplete unless it tells the story of the contribution that the blacks made in reclaiming the barren plains and the mountains, and assisting the Indian in developing the country into what it is now. Hundreds of Negroes served in the capacity of United States marshals during the days when the law hung at the end of a man's belt; when the overrun with outlaws and criminals, who used the mountain fastness and the secluded ravines of the Indian country as havens of refuge from the constituted authority in the border states. The long story, but you cannot relate in a factual and realistic way the transformation of this former wilderness unless you tie into the story the contact that the Negro had with Oklahoma history and life. Those were the days during the war when sat on juries and tried white men just as white men now arbitrarily try Indians and Negroes.
The Dispatch pertinently suggested that on the forty-first anniversary of Oklahoma, the Negroes will be called for each day. A total of 2,289 men and women will be examined. Many of our group are preparing for this test. Only 230 passed for Probation Officer—a total of 840 candidates.

As the Los Angeles paper is published by Frederick M. Roberts, several times elected as a member of the Legislature, this utterance may be regarded as made on good authority.
The following sage advice was offered to intending purchasers of suburban property by the Chicago Whip, which is worth heading:
Before buying property from "real estate sub-dividers" who offer "farm lands" in regions near Chicago, it will be to the best advice an attorney and learn if the dividers can convey legal title and a sufficient deed. It is a well-worked trick that has again, been put in operation of buying an old dilapidated farm on a contract and cutting it up. It is also a good people to buy at outrageous prices. The real estate dealers, having nothing but a contract to sell, cannot give a deed, wary purchasers have no protection from judgments, tax liabilities, and these unprincipled dividers have little respect for our judgment on these matters and merely rob us of our life's savings without recourse. If these sub-divided lots are to be purchased at all it will be well for us to acquaint ourselves with the legal status of all material points.
This is an old game which has been practiced on unwary land investors in other parts of the country, especially appealing to city dwellers who want to get back to the soil. The intending purchaser should beware of such bargains.
The Palmetto Leader of Columbia pointed out an extra-judicial proceeding in a South Carolina trial, which it claims was not sanctioned by the laws of that State It said.
Although women are not eligible for jury duty in South Carolina, yet the town of Lexington seems to think that it can do as it please. Recently a jury of white women were empanelled to try a colored man in a half pint of liquor. Guilty was the verdict—though, not legal.
This proceeding was evidently in keeping with the practice of South Carolina, in holding that the law is not intended to protect those of the darker race. Witness the Asheville Lynching and the revoke of the pardon of Ben Bess.
Somewhat ironically, the Norfolk Journal and Guide in an editorial headed "Dear Old Southland," remarked that "tolerance is gradually finding its rightful place in the Southland." It continued
For instance one group in Alabama starts planning now to defeat Senator J. Thomas (Tom-Tom) Hefflin in 1930. That group "defiles his foolish and fanatical asaults upon those of our fellow citizens who are members of the Catholic Church." Their grant group is the Alabama Women's League for White Supremacy.
But progress is everywhere. The Kansas legislature, for instance, in its present state of political enlightenment, would no more commit to senators than it would think of dying. A Kansas lawmaking body wrote a statute into its books which reads like this: "When two trains meet at a railroad, both shall come to a dead stop, and neither shall start up again until the other has gone." Everywhere, signs point to progress. Seniors at the University of Arkansas, a Tennessee tells us, are now wearing shoes.
As Kansas repealed its anti-cigarette statutes after some years, there may be hope for greater tolerance in Alabama and Tennessee, as well as Virginia.
The Danville, Ky. Toothless headed the last column of its first page, "Lynch Lynch" Lynch. Instead of being an account of another mob murder or an invocation to commit one, it was merely a reminder of the following religious assemblage:
The time draws nigh for the State meetings of the Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. U's that will be held in the beautiful mountain city of Lynch, May 14, 15, 16, 17.
It is a debatable question whether to peaceful an assemblage should be held in a place with a name to suggest violence of violence. All counts the exclamation points might have been omitted.

A large number of the congregation came out to the Sunday morning service at Grace Church to hear the pastor, Dr. A. C. Garner, in an eloquent and understanding Mother's Day service.

The unselfish service and suffering which she did herself or keeps herself in the background so that her offspring Divine. No matter how low in sox or up in sox, *abouq aq saurq aurea* one has fallen, she loves and owns him as her child. He spoke also of the great love of one like that of a true mother. He emphasized the fact that each individual born in the world has a mission in life. We should inquire and seek out our mission.

of John 11th and 12th verses, "He came unto his own and his own received him not, but as many as received him, to him gave he power to become the sons of God, given to them that believe on his name. He became the son of God, cleansing of becoming sons of God, taking many hours and days of communion and fellowship, with the Father to become like Him. One's association influences one's character. He" admonished those who would become like unto Him, to pray and read more of His work, to right hand of fellowship followed by communion service. Twelve people joined church during the day, and $888.80 was collected.
St. Paul Bapt. Church
The fifth series of evangelistic meetings are now in progress in St. Paul, with the pastor, Rev. H. Arthur Booker, delivering messages each night assisted by the singers, Siri Tongue Quartet of Females from Metropolitan Baptist Church, this city. The results of these meetings from the point of view of accessions to the church is somewhere around twenty persons, most of these being converts. The meetings go on through the present week of the year. Such a thing as holding meetings of this, kind monthly is something that was never heard of, or even thought seriously about, until the present year. Yet, so deep a hold has these meetings taken upon the members, and the spiritual and financial benefit derived from them is so great that members all join heartily in saying they must be kept up until the two summer months come.
While these meetings occupy the attention of the members, for these two weeks, sight is not lost of the other work. It is encouraging to hold take hold willingly to put over the financial program of the church.
Edward Wells, the president of the B. N. P. U., has been sick all through the past week, but is much improved at this writing, and we are hoping that he will be out experienced. Mother's Day was fittingly observed Sunday last the choir singing selections appropriate on The Moral Qualities Transmitted by Mothers to Their Children.
There were three conversions at this service, and several joined by experience. At the tour for the session of the Church School, the pastor was given the right of way, and a number of the school children made profession of faith in Christ.
The evening service was slimly attended, owing to the hard downpour of rain, but the choir and passersby at their posts, the pastor preaching on "Seeking to Touch Jesus."
Union Baptist Church
During the past week our pastor and his family made a trip to Cumberland, Va. en route they visited the National Training School is located in Cumberland Tuesday afternoon. On Thursday they were the guests of Dr. and Mra. A. W. Brown of Richmond, Va. Upon their return they told about the disaster caused by the fire and considered damage in Virginia. Our services Sunday were well attended during the entire day. At 11 a.m. the choir was at its best. Suitable musical selections had been arranged for the day by Prof. Adger. Our pastor spoke of Anzac Day and we discussed (b) the earth as a mother; (b) our maternal mother (c) the church as a spiritual mother. Fifteen persons united with the

The communion service was crowded. The hand of fellowship was extended to twenty-seven PAYE instructors who were delivered by Dr. Abner Brown Subject: "Sin in The Camp." Prayer was offered by Rev. Robert Hooper Dr. S. P. Drew made a few remarks.
At the evening service the Bellmer's Association assembled for their annual sermon. A large number was present notwithstanding the downpour of rain. Their response to that they have invested worth of real estate. A pleasing vocal selection was rendered by Miss Cornelia G. Dickinson. Sermon was delivered by Pastor Simt. Offering amount to $459.
Refuge Church of Christ
We are indeed happy to say that Apostle and General Elder R. C. Lawson's birthday was celebrated by the informal dinner given under the auspice of the Guild, one of the church auxiliaries, of which Mrs. C. P. Chapman, is president. The affair was held in the Independent Church, where a five course dinner was served. During the evening numbers were rendered by many including Miss Hattie T. Jones and Miss Ruth Brown daughter of Mrs. Ruth Brown, who served the Guild and one of the local missionaries of the church.
Among those who gathered in the dinner table to celebrate our pastor's birthday were the deacon members of the church, and the Church of Christ Bible Institute students, of which our pastor is dean. Elder C. L. Edwards acted as master of ceremonies. Directly opposite the pastor was his wife, Mrs. R. C. Lawson.
On the evening of Tuesday, May 7, evangelistic services were held. Wednesday, May 8, the Junior Church held its weekly services. The entire services of the evening was conducted by the young people. Elder Peter Brown, a Young minister, and Elder Bible Institute, preached the evening sermon, after which dutiful healing services were held. Young
people from all denominations are welcomed to our young people's services held every Wednesday evening throughout the year. The Bible Class is taught Thursday May 9, by the pastor. In connection with the public Bible Class a course is also being offered - to the Church of Christ Bible School students. The Thursday evening subject was "The Result of Sin." In 10, marked the beginning of the Pentecostal Feast that will continue until May 19, during which time only one meal a day will be eaten. The rest of the time will be devoted to prayer and Bible classes. The event continues on the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost over nineteen hundred years ago as recorded in the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. We invite all to come and join us. Ask questions concerning the Bible classes on Sunday evenings, beginning at 8:30 o'clock.
May 12, Mother's Day, was impressively observed. The services throughout the entire day were under auspices of the Missionary Band. At the morning services the subject was the missionaries; Mrs. R. C. Lawson, wife of the pastor was among the missionaries who contributed their share in making Mother's Day a success. The missionaries continued their triumph of the day by having an interesting program in the school for young people. The young people did much to make the mothers happy on Mother's Day by rendering solos, chois selections, recitations, testimonies, etc., during their hour in the evening. At the night services, the pastor preached from Malachi 3:10. Despite the downpour of rain many came out to our services. Those who made their appearance in our midst for the first time were cheerfully greeted and made to feel at home. Our Pentecostal will continue through this week until Sunday. Bible classes daily at Z and 8:30 in the evening.
A great treat awaits you. Come

Thank you.

St. Martin's Chapel
"The One Unselfish Love" was the appropriate subject chosen by the Rev. John H. Johnson, vicar of St. Martin's Chapel, 122nd street and Lenox avenue, for his Sunday morning. The theme was based on the text: "He that bonhomit his mother is one that layhug up treasures for himself." The song, "Mother of Mine," was beautifully rendered by Carl Dixon, the efficient choremaster and organist. Mother's Day is not an entirely modern celebration. Mr. Johnson, beginning his sermon "since during the Middle Ages there was a similar observance known as Mother's Day." However the custom has lasted—the words of the text having stood through the ages. The mother was brought up unworn and unchanged by the passing of more than a thousand years.
"There are times in our lives when it is hard to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. Our children are unstable and uncertain and sometimes we waver in making the choice, but to love one's mother is all together right and good.
"As we think of the one who gave us a little child—the marks of experience disappear and the years fall off. A mother's love is the one abiding, changeless thing in our lives—perhaps the only unselfish love that we can give to our children in spondency and long for it in sickness.
"A mother's guiding influence means more to one's spiritual welfare than all else. One writer has said, "You must be worth a pound of the clergy." Its perfect power lay in its penetrating vision. No matter how you stumble a mother can see the good in you and sympathy helps you overcome the pitfalls along this pathway.
"We need that love in this great New York to keep our hearts young and kind and soft. We need it to keep us in the paths of righteousness."
"A mother deserves all of the honor, love and respect that we canugive her. There is no ating like the sting that comes from the knowledge of having neglected that duty. Charles Lamb has said What would not give him would hold that one day that I might fall down on my knees and ask her pardon for my many neglectful deeds. Though she may be in Heaven, her eyes are still watching her voice is still whispering and she is still praying Therefore in cherishing her memoirs are laying up treasures in Heaven."
Flowers for the altar were contributed by Lee Stokes in memory of his mother, Mrs. Rose Stokes; by Miss Almainta Josephs in memory of her mother Mrs. Elizabeth and by Mrs. Edwin in memory of her father James Packard.
The first public reception as sponsored by the congregation, will be given Thursday evening. May 23. at Star Casino.
Rush Memorial Church
"Mother's Day was appropriately observed by the pastor and people of Dush. Dr. Douglas, the minister, spoke on the subject, "Have You Forgotten" Eudoxus 20-12 The value of Christian Motherhood was placed at very high mark in the curriculum. Children mix largely due to the difference in the was streamed Mother's maze slow their children to the
extent of construction or destruction. To fail to correct a child when it is wrong is a form of destructive love, and is the sort of child any good. Great apologies was laid on the duties of the child to the parent.
The entire service was very impressive. Every person present took the flower which they were wearing in memory of their mother, and placed it on a tray to be sent to the esteemed Garlen Hospital.
The young Poor Girl of Mrs. Klirre, under supervision of Mrs. Klirre, rendered a play at the eight o'clock hour, entitled the Spirit of Motherhood."
Services throughout the week will be held under leadership of Rev. Campbell of Little Mount Goat Post Church, Rev. Douglas and Rev. Campbell, and gagged in this battle for God, and Rush Church opens its doors to you for volunteer enlistment.
Rendall Memorial Church
All thoughts seemed to have been turned to the mothers on Sunday during the services at Rendall Church. The pastor, Dr. Thomas J. B. Harris, spoke at the morning service, using as his subject, "The Call of The Age to Mothers of Todays." At the close of the service the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gill received Christian baptism. Holy Communion was observed at the evening service. At 4 p.m. the Forum held its meetings in the Chapel of the Goods Club, presided over the Forum. The program was arranged to further im-

Hampton rose out Lincoln University in the eighth annual championship track and field meet held on amstaff-Field Saturday, May 11.rdentown showed her mastery of the school boy division by massing forty one points to beat nearest, adversary, Manassas, got 12 points.
The meet was a huge success in the largest number of spectators were sent to larger number of athletic athletes, and a larger number of entries. A number of old schools were registered for the first time. So large was the entry that two full hours were taken in the morning for running off trials in the dashes and hurdles.
Jamison Individual Trophy to Breaux.
The trophy donated by the graduate manager of Lincoln University was won by Breaux of Union University after securing a total of 13 points. Breaux, beat Synder of Lincoln out in the broad jump, took the 220 yard dash and placed second in the one hundred yard dash. This trophy is to remain the property of Union University until some other school wins it three times. The Relays.
In the relays much excitement was adrift when Lincoln and Hampton took their marks—two winners in the Penn Relays. Morgan and St. Paul were also entered, but little thought was given them as contenders since little was known of their time Harris, Hampton's plucky little quarter miler, ran a close, race and brought in a little head, which was given to Early, Hampton's brittle sprint artist, who increased it. Then came George Gray, whose form on running the quilt can match a beater. He gained a 10-yard lead, which Coginha Baldwin gladly took and increased to win the collegiate mile relay and a second leg on the beautiful Robert S. Abbott mile relay trophy.
The medley was equally as thrilling. Gray again whipped off a lead which was increased by Baldwin and Early, and given to Smith. Hampton's winning half miler Hampton took a leg on the Southern Aid Society trophy which was in the possession of Union University. In the scholastic relays there was keen competition for supremacy. An interestingly situation was created when R T Washington High of Norfolk won a second leg on the Frank Young Trophy Monassee also has two legs on it. What will happen next year will he left to be seen. Records Were Lowered.
the lowering of five records and the equalling of another. Those to fall were the mile, won by Byrd of Lincoln; the javelin throw won by Williams of Hampton; the discus throw won by Clapp of Virginia State; the mile relay won by Hampton (Harris, Baldwin, Early and Smith) and the two mile won by Bradley of Lincoln. The 100-yard dash was tied by Tull of Hampton, and as it stands now, Cook of Union and Booker of Union have also a claim in partnership on the record. The pole-sault record was so, led by Baker of Hampton, to 10 feet 6 inches. This is just of the famous Baker family and this is the last appearance of this particular Baker in sports for Hampton.
In the scholastic division Lee of Armstrong High in Washington lowered his own mile record. The mile relay record held by Dunbar and Bordentown jointly was lowered by 1 and 2-10 seconds.
The Century
The surprise of the day was when Tull of Hampton stopped to the front and won century dash. During the preliminaries in the morning Tull got a slow start and it seemed for a while that he was going to be lost for placing, but he managed to pull up and make second place. When the finals were called Tull took his mark along with Breaux, of Union, and other reputed runners and led the pack all the distance His speed was remarkable in spite of a slight wind which gave him encouragement.
Another sorprise was the performance of Bob Coles, now running for Union University Bob could not bid for a place in the mile and barely eked out a third place win in the two mile. He was considered, by Lincoln and Hampton, as one of the most serious contenders for the mile.

LINCOLN GIANTS WIN TWO FROM HILLDALE SUNDAY
1st Game Goes Ten Innings With Homer In Tenth Clearing Bases
Baseball fans at the Catholic Protectory Oval Sunday afternoon, May 12, were given plenty of thrills. They saw the Lincoln Giants win a 10-inning slugfest from the Hildale Club in a game in which five home runs were hit, and then come back and win the night-cap contest by a score of 8-6. The second game was twice interrupted by showers. George Scales and Charlotte Smith were the stars at bat. Scales made two singles, a two-bagger and a home run in five times at bat during the first game.

Frederick Douglass Regains Junior High School Track Title
Rolling up more than twelve many points as its nearest competitor, the Frederick Douglass Junior High School team, composed largely of colored athletes, regained the outdoor junior high school championship at Wingate Field, Brooklyn on Saturday, May 11. The occasion was a combined meet, which included the Public School Athletic League, junior high schools, varsity and senior high school novice championships. Over 6,000 schoolboy athletes competed. The boys from Frederick Douglass scored 63 points, far outdistanced, the opposing team, by near 30 points. The bears from Harlem gave the spectators a thrill when the half-mile relay team broke the record not only in the final, but also in the semi-final, and by distract margins on both occasions.
The Douglas boys scored victories in three out of five sprint events, one of them in record-breaking time. St. Clair Mayer's, a slim, short, but extremely wiry runner, scored the first points for his team. He took the final of the fifty-yard dash in the ninety-pound class with a 7-second flat performance, a fifth of a second slower than the year-old record. He still cheered St. Clair's victory when Wendell Buck sprinted down the 60-yard stretch, for five more points, in 7 2-5, again only a fifth of a second away from the record time.
Alfred Jessamy, another member of the Douglass team, took the 70-yard dash for 120-pound boys with an 8-1-5 second performance, establishing a new record for this event. The Frederick Douglass quarter-mile relay team, composed of Samuel Caines, Ulysses Byron, Franz Wallace and George Mapp, set two records in this event. In the semi-finals they made the distance in 1:39.15. The old record was 1.43-4.5. The finals of this event they could not quite equal their record in the semi-final, but beat the old time covering the distance in 1.41.
Other records were broken in the 120 pound class high jump When Wilson of Douglass jumped 5 feet 3 inches, bettering the old mark by an inch and in the broad jump where Sidney Addison added an inch to the 1928 mark of 15 feet 12 inch, by making it 15 feet 12 inches.
The track team of Frederick Douglass Junior High School held the championship of Greater New York until two years ago, when the Elahu J Clark High defeated them. Thus year the Bronx boys were left far behind in the competition

THE HIGH COST OF NEW PORTERS
It is undoubtedly quite true, as many of these Pullman veterans will tell you, the Pullman Company is never hasty in discharging the experienced porter. But these old timers will also tell you, with the most rare sincerity, that this reluctance of the company is due solely to its benevolence. That this opinion is not without its modicum of truth, anyone who possesses a working knowledge of the Pullman system, and is inclined to be fair with employer as well as employee, will have to agree. However, altruism is not by any means the sole reason for this toleration.
This business of employing new porters is a costly process with the Pullman Company. Like the cost of living, which has made the dime a contemptible member of the dollar family, the cost today of hiring new porters has trebled the cost involved in bygone days.
Figures of what it cost the company in the old days to employ a porter are not available, but we have been told that they are insignificant compared with today's figures. To be sure there were certain passes of employment which were considerable items of expense then as they are now, but these items have risen in the same proportion that has marked the rise of everything else. In addition to this, new methods have been introduced in the employing of porters, and these also have their cost.
According to an employee, who is assistant in one of the Pullman Employment Bureaus in the East, the average cost of employing the porter, from the time his application is received to the time he has passed his probationary period, which is six months in road service is figured in the Pullman ledger as a flat debit of $200 per porter. This charge does not include the porter's wages while under instruction, nor the time he is on probation, declared this employee.
On the surface, this might seem to be a highly inflated figure. In fact the ratio appears somewhat overdrawn, but don't be too hasty in arriving at this conclusion. Follow the circumstances that surround the employment of Thomas Brown from the time he made application for the job of Pullman porter until he had passed his six months period of probation.
Brown made his application, say, seven months ago. He brought references from three substantial employers, telling how long he had been employed by each, the date he had left the services or each and how each would vouch for his unquestionable honesty. They were continuing references. But each one of them had to be investigated personally by an agent from the bureau at which Brown made his application. The three referees live in different localities, but each had to be seen and interviewed. This case took the investigator exactly three weeks to complete the verifications. The references were the sent to Chicago to be put in the employment archives of the company.
Brown is next seen in the hands of porter instructors, whose duties are to instruct him in the various classes of Pullman service. Brown has heretofore followed the vocation of a butler, and he apt enough while undergoing instruction, but these different types of Pullman service are new to him, consequently, it takes a matter of a week or more before the instructing agent feels that he is qualified to go further.
From this instruction he is sent to road instruction. His first trip is under the tutelage of an experienced sleeping car porter. His next trial trip is under a buffet smoker porter. Then he is assigned to instruction on a buffet luncheon car. Here he is instructed how to prepare and serve light meals. On each of these cars the porter of the car is paid for instructing, the beginner.
After that routine, Brown was deemed competent to go alone. He began on his own.
A trip here and a trip there gave him a fairly good knowledge of the human service, but, like most new porters. Brown was in机会 to be careless in obeying rules regarding the placing of car equipment, such as stepping box, step-ladder and bench headboards, back in place after usage. Before his six months of probation had expired he was told one morning to report to his superintendent, before he would be allowed to go out.
This official wanted to know what did he know about a passenger who rode on his car on a certain date and was injured by tailing over the stepping box, which the passenger claimed was lying in the doorway of the car instead of that part of the platform where it belonged. That little derection or rupture at the Puhrman Company the sum of five-hundred dollars.
Known kept his job, forget would not help the case to discharge. Furthermore he will profit from that experience but in gaining experience he cost the company two hundred and forty dollars more than the figured ratio.
Course, such instances do not happen every day with the new porters. But considering the overhead expenses involved in maintaining these employment bureaus, the methods pursued in investigating the references of applicants, and the different liabilities for which the company is answerable, and which liabilities come mostly through the advertence of new porters, the cost of employing the porter is estimated as the sum might at first seem.
Putting it at a conservative figure the employment turnover of man porters is not overtwo per cent during the course of a year a rowing of course, for deaths and retirements.
Two per cent of 10,000 porters at $260 per porter make the new porters come high.

The Week of May 18 ASTROLOGICALLY CONSIDERED
BY THEARCHER
The birthdates of May 15, 16, 17 and 18 will feel the benign influence of the passage of Jupiter over the natal suns, all of this week. It will bring opportunities for financial gain, better health to the women of these dates, honor, social and business advancement, and preferment in the employment. This position of Jupiter comes once every twelve years
Perhaps it sounds a bit out of place and unreasonable to say that Jupiter will cause these things to happen but it is so. All of us know that sunlight is very necessary to the growth and development of plant life, and that plant life sustains animals and human life. We have fresh water through the evaporation of water from the ocean, which comes to us in the form of rain, snow or dew. Most of us know that farmers observe certain phases of the moon for planting certain farm produce. The sun and moon are not within touching distance, but their effects are known. The radio receiver can reproduce music that has been played many times away, and yet there is no physical connection from the radio receiver to the broadcasting station. Vibrations through the ear act in each case. The birth dates of April 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 will feel and adverse position of Mars in Leo all this week, and we suffer health, es-
