DIAMOND BROKERS Fine Jewelry and Watches—Repairing In General All Goods Fully Guaranteed 429 LENOX AVENUE Near 132nd Street NEW YORK CITY BUFFALO --- Saturday, May 25, 1929 National Urban League Entertains In Honor of New Board Members National Urban League Entertains In Honor of New Board Members Miss Frances Perkins, Commissioner of Industry of the State of New York, was the principal speaker at a dinner held on May 8 at the Cafe Boulevard, New York City, by the National Urban League. The organization was entertaining in honor of four new members to the Board of Managers: Miss Carline Chapin, of Englewood, N. J. Mrs. Henry L. Mosea of New York City, Elbridge Bancroft Pierce of Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Alfred H Schoolkoph of Buffalo, N. Y. In addition to being an introduction of the new members to the official family and friends of the organization, this gathering of nearly a hundred persons of both races served as an initiation into the principles underlying the League's program for improving race relations and building a firm economic structure for the Negro masses. The topics discussed were race relations and industry. Eugene Kinnick Jones, executive secretary, of the organization, sketched a brief outline history of the movement since its inception nearly twenty years ago. Lloyd Garrison, the present treasurer of the League, great grandson of the famous librator, offered to the new members as a philosophical approach to their participation in League activities the simple yet fundamental realization that "Negroes are no different from other people." T. Arnold Hill, the director of the department of industrial relations, who has recently returned from an extensive southern trip, reported his observations of industrial conditions in the south as they affect the Negro worker. Miss Perkins surveyed the industrial landscape for the past twenty years, pointing to the gradual improvement in the status of the worker—the shortening of the working day, and later the working week; the increase in wages, the advancement in health, skill, and leisure; and the inauguration of protective measure thru safety devices and legislative action. Sound and conservative in her judgment, Miss Perkins forshadowed that the mechanization of industry would be the greatest asset labor has ever known, inasmuch as it would enable the workers to enjoy many comforts at low expense which would otherwise be expensive luxuries. L. Hollingsworth Wood, the president of the League, was the master of ceremonies. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. L. Hollington's Wood, Mr and Mrs. Lloyd Garrison Mr and Mrs Eugene Kinkele Jones, Mr and Mrs Arthur Holden, Mr and Mrs Roscoe C. Bruce Mr and Mrs Elmer A. Carter, Mr and Mrs T Arnold Hill, Dr and Mrs L Edward Lowry, Dr and Mrs S Reed, Mr and Mrs Charles Joyce, Mr and Mrs Ira De Reid Mr and Mrs Noah D Thompson, Mrs Henry L.

He was 57 years of age. Jacob died at the home of his brother Charles, at 3637 South Michigan avenue. With him when he died were his brother and Alderman Louis B Anderson of the 2nd Ward. Although he was one of the most influential colored politicians in this city and was a member of the Illinois Commerce Commission at the time of his death, he was hardly known outside of Chicago.

In those days the second ward was mostly white, but gradually Negroes began to move in and as they became the majority three of the group emerged as leader-Edward H. Wright, later a member of the Illinois Commerce Commission, Oscar DePriest, afterward Alderman and Congressman, and Dan Jackson. When Edward H. Wright cast his lot with Fred Lundin and his major candidate in the last election against Mayor Thompson, Jackson and DePriest went along with the Thompson machine, with the commerce Commission as a part of the spoils should Thompson win. After the election Jackson succeeded by Wright. Indicted With DePriest Following the election Jackson was inducted along with Congressman DePriest, Police Lieutenant Patrick Brady, and others, on a charge of conspiracy inconnection with gambling in his district. Although the charge against Congressman DePriest was thrown out for lack of evidence, the indictment against Jackson was pending at the time of his death, and it was expected that he would be brought to trial a few days. However, his friend, he was sure of an acquittal through considered wealth at the time of his death, the body was placed in a modern casket and lay in state in the National Mortuary Barn.

Lawson, Frank D. Wilson, Joseph H. B. Evans and Frank A. Byron Each of them was paid $100, except Lawson who received $114.10 He required 20 special police officers for his protection.

Lawrence A Oxley, director of the Division of Negro Work, North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, announces the appointment of Miss Zoe R Marshall of New York City, as a member of the staff of the State Board, beginning May 1 Miss Marshall served as case worker for one year with the Family Welfare Society of Atlanta, and with that of Charleston.

The Finest Private Hospital Owned and Operated by Negroes in America Vincent's Sanatorium 2348 Seventh Ave. Between 137th and 138th Streets Atlanta, Ga., May 22—The Julius Rosenwald Fund has thrown to the alumni and other friends of Morehouse College a stirring challenge in the offer of $100,000 for the endowment fund campaign now in progress, on condition that colored contributors give a like sum. The offer is embodied in a cordial letter to President Hope from Mr. Edwin Embree, president of the Rosenwald Fund, expressing the hope that the friends of the institution will promptly meet the challenge and enable the school to realize upon the gift. Further significance is given to this munificent offer by the fact that, when consummated, it will go far toward meeting the condition of the original offer of $300,000 from the General Education Board, provided a like sum should be raised from all other sources which is the basis of the endowment campaign now in progress for $600,000. It will be seen therefore, that when $100,000 has been secured, from colored sources, making available the $100,000 offered by the Rosenwald Fund, it will be necessary to raise from all other sources only an additional $100,000 in order to claim the gift from the General Education Board and attain the total goal of $600,000. Friends of the institution are encouraged by the fact that a substantial beginning has been made toward the $100,000 needed from Negro sources. The campus campaign conducted some weeks ago resulted in subscriptions aggregating $17,000 from students and members of the faculty. The Negroes of Atlanta then subscribed $50,000, so even allowing for possible shrinkage, it is reasonable to hope that something like half the amount required to secure the Rosenwald gift is already secured. The burden of getting the remainder needed to meet the conditions will fall largely upon Me.A.W. Dent, graduate of Morehouse and secretary of the Alumni Association, under whose direction organizations will be set up in various cities and the campaign posed as rapidly as possible. President Hope is confident that the friends of the institution will rally with loyal enthusiasm to the generous challenge of the Rosenwald and General Education gifts. Teachers To Get Low R. R.

(Col) WILLIAM MURRELL Corning. N. Y New Jersey Teachers Hold Annual Meeting May 15 Atlantic City, N. J.-The fifteenth annual, meeting of the Organization of Teachers in Colored Schools in New Jersey was held here May 15, with L. B. Granger of Bordentown, president. In a report of the results of examinations held in May and June, T. C.-Williams of Bordentown said that records of 282 eighth grade pupils in 35 schools, including mixed schools in North Jersey as well as separate schools in South Jersey, showed that colored pupils were lagging behind others. Mr. Williams explained that the records were not complete, and at the same time brought out that some separate classes and individual students impaired the individual average. Reasons for this were given by various speakers as inferior housing, low family incomes, inadequate school facilities and lack of proper incentives. Dr. John Gandr, president Virginia State College, and Dr. W. J. Bickett, superintendent of Trenton's school, made addresses. Mr. Granger was relected for the fifth time; other officers are Margaret T. Scott, vice-president; Wm. H. Johnson, treasurer (15th year); Mrs. Gertrude P. Williams, field agent; Teresa V. Robinson, recording secretary, Carolyn Prout Gates, corresponding secretary. The body meets next year at Camden.

New York City Hospital Owned and roes in America ent's orium GOOD INTENT FRUSTRATED. A few weeks ago we had occasion to refer to the coming celebration of its fortysecond anniversary by the town of Mound Bayou, which has added to its unique distinction by doing away with its jail. As a part of this celebration, a campaign has been started to bring in capital and worthwhile people to rehabilitate and perpetuate the town, as a memorial to the early settlers in the Mississippi Delta. This movement has not only been sponsored by the prominent Negro citizens who run the town, but it has received the sympathy and cooperation of the prominent white citizens of that section who have shown their good intentions in a practical manner. But the good intent and effort to further cordial racial relations in this mannerappear to be in danger of frustration through the continued toleration of mob violence in Mississippi. Only last week, a special to The Age from Macon, Miss, told how a colored worker on a plantation was shot to death by a mob, immediately after he had stabbed and killed the owner of the plantation. A dispute had arisen out of a disagreement over a crop contract and the tenant farmer had left the plantation, when the owner started after him and the fight occurred. At most it was a dispute over money in which the parties came to blows and the tenant who was anxious to quit a losing game killed his aggressor in self-defence. The whole matter probably grew out of the infamous tenant crop system, which is intended to keep the tenant in perpetual debt to the owner of the land and reduce him to a state of peonage. It is this economic slavery that has driven so many of the Negro farmers away from Mississippi and other Southern states. The tenant, no matter how hard he works and how large a crop he may raise, is always figured out as being in debt to the owner for supplies advanced him during the season, previous to the gathering of the crop. It is a vicious system which affords every facility for cheating the ignorant and helpless tenant, and when he rebels and seeks to leave the farm, he is restrained by force from trying to improve his condition. The expressions of goodwill and the marks of friendly cooperation on the part of the well intentioned white people of Mississippi will fail to convince thinking Negroes, either within or without the state, that the Delta is a good place for them to invest their capital or their labor, so long as peonage remains a part of its economic system. Such a system is bound to engender and encourage cheating the laborer out of his honest share of his earnings and to provoke resentment and violence, even to the point of murder by the mob. If the leading whites of Mississippi are in earnest with their expressions of good intent, they should urge Governor Bilbo and the other state authorities to abolish the peonage system and wipe out every vestige of the economic slavery which it has fostered. Give the laborer, and the farm tenant a fair deal economically, so that they may earn and receive an adequate share of the crops for their labor. Put an end to mob violence and the effort to keep the Negro in economic slavery by brute force. Enforce the laws so as to give equal protection to all classes of the community in life, liberty and the purpusuit of happiness. Increase the facilities for the education of both races on an equal basis, to as high a level as the state finances will justify. Until the well intentioned white citizens of Mississippi can accomplish some of these things, their demonstrations of good intent, will remain frustrated by the reign of the mob. LAKE CITY LYNCHING. Lake City is a town of unsavory reputation in the northern part of Florida, twenty-five or thirty miles from the Georgia boundary. Its reputation has been derived from its summary lynching and torture of Negroes, without any effective effort to punish or bring to justice the authors of such crimes or the members of the mob committing them. This encouragement of mob murder and lawlessness has contributed to diminish respect for law in general, and has made life cheap in Lake City. Last week this degeneration of public security in Lake City was emphasized by another killing and a lynching, in which all the participants were white. According to the news dispatches, the sheriff, or some peace officer, had occasion to visit a grocery within the city limits and during an altercation with the grocer and his wife, was shot, though not fatally. He shot in return and killed the woman, after which a mob seized the husband and lynched him. While details were given showing but trivial cause for the shooting, the killing of the woman and the lynching of her husband stand out as striking evidence that the mob lust for murder, as it grows, ignores any differences of race or color and takes its victims where it finds them, regardless of their color. This latest lynching at Lake City should be a final argument in favor of Federal intervention to save the South from self-destruction in its blind tolerance and encouragement of lawlessness. The state governments have largely abdicated their functions of enforcing law and protecting their citizens from the mob. This withdrawal of protection to life and property, begun in the case of black citizens, has naturally spread to whites. The suppression of lynch law and mob violence is demand as a protection to the interests of life and property in all those states where the state authority has failed to give such protection. While this demand has been ignored, so long as the Negro was the only one affected by this disregard for life and property, it may become more urgent now that the whole community is menaced by mob violence. Mob violence is like the plague or any other epidemic. If allowed to grow and spread, it will envelope the whole community in its noxious grasp. The danger should be met and repelled before it spreads further. NEW YORK POLICE ON PARADE. For over three hours last Saturday some five thousand policemen marched from the Battery to Sixtythird street, in the first parade of the force in four years. It was a spectacle of stalwart men and tittlesemes horses, which despite the monotony of brand new uniforms and floppy new hats held the attention of many onlookers for the better part of its passing. At the reviewing stand the procession was reviewed by Mayor Walker and other officials, while twelve medals of honor were awarded for conspicuous service. Stars were also conferred on the widows of five men who had died in the service. Among the features that stood out most conspicuously in the parade was the 369th Regiment band, which headed Company A, composed of Negro members of the force detailed from a Harlem precinct. Their appearance in a single platoon emphasized their inclusion as part of New York's "finest," although there were others of their race scattered in the various branches of the service. The marching of this detachment was one of the brightest spots of the parade, and their whole appearance reflected credit as part of the civic army of defence. They comprised thirtysix picked men, under the command of Captain Edward Bracken. The applause that greeted them all along the line was a popular tribute to their bearing and marching, as a fine type of the city's defenders. The assignment of this platoon to so conspicuous a place in the parade was a notable object lesson, showing the amproved status of the Negro as a factor in the growth and composition of a cosmopolitan city. It also showed a spirit of broadness and liberality on the part of the city authorities that should be appreciated. Both Commissioner Whalen and Mayor Walker are to be remembered for their adhesion to this policy of fairplay for all classes of our citizenship, without distinction of race or creed. The revival of the police parade after four years of innocuous desuetude marked a new departure in municipal policy. It should help to restore and strengthen the morale of the force and increase the confidence of the citizenship in its ability to maintain the public peace. RENT EMERGENCY ENDS G. ry repu- Plosida, from the ion, ha- lynching any ef- to jus- or the g them. The fact that the Emergency Rent laws will expire in a little more than a month has already stimulated a move- ment for increased rents in Harlem. Many tenants in this district have been notified by their landlords that their rents will be raised from ten to one hundred per cent. The increases run from five dollars to thirty and forty dollars in some cases for the same apartments. The fail- ure of the Legislature to extend the laws. --- according to members of the legal profession, means that the present spans will have to pay the increased rate, move or be dispossessed. Before the law was passed, soon after the world war the landlord was at liberty to raise the rent! whenever he felt that he could get more money for the premises... The Emergency Rent law curbed this right, which had given rise to much profiteering on account of the increased demand for accommodations, and protected those tenants who were paying at the rate of ten dollars a room or less. They were assured of the right to retain the apartments they then occupied, so long as they paid the rate at which they had taken them. This tenure of occupancy proved galling to many landlords, who resorted to sundry devices in order to force their tenants to vacate. Necessary repairs were neglected and the property was often allowed to run down into an unsanitary condition, in order to force the tenants to move. Complaints to the Health and Tenement House commissions were staffed and their orders for a correction of these conditions were in many cases disregarded, without any penalties being imposed upon the defiant owners. Now that the landlords and owners are at liberty to raise the rents, there will be no further excuse for continued neglect of these provisions for health and comfort. Before new tenants, or even the old ones, will pay the increased rentals, the apartments will, have to be put in firstclass condition. Toilets and plumbing should be renewed and walls and ceilings painted and calcimined. The dumb waiters, which in many of these apartment houses have been allowed to become a depository for garbage, should be cleaned and restored to their original purpose. The authorities in charge of housing should check up on the work of inspection and see that unsanitary conditions are speedily corrected. It should not be possible for parsimonious or neglectful owners to longer evade the provisions of the law in this respect. Those tenants who feel that they can better their surroundings by moving, will find long lists of desirable apartments offered by the various real estate agents. While the rents will probably be higher than they have been paying during the past few years, they may find improvement over their present quarters to compensate for the extra outlay. At all events it has been decreed that the Emergency Rent laws have served their purpose, and they can no longer be invoked in behalf of Harlem tenants. Rents, like every other commodity, must be governed by the law of supply and demand. If there is a greater demand for housing than the visible supply, the rents are bound to go up. The only remedy appears to be in cooperative housing movements, which have been tried in a tentative fashion by some of our beneficial organizations. Under prudent and experienced management, this would help to solve the housing problem. SILK HOSE IN BUSINESS The well nigh universal display of silk hosiery in the subways and on the highways and byways of the great metropolis is not caused by feminine love of frippery and finery, as the casual masculine observer may have carelessly concluded, it is an essential part of the equipment of the modern business girl. The authority for this statement is not a publicity agent of the silk stocking mills, as might be hastily deduced, but an instructor in household arts at Teachers College, named Lilian Locke. According to this interpreter of the spirit of modern business needs the working girl who wants to get a good job must wear pretty clothes and display impeccably correct styles in hosiery. She insists that personality is counting more and more in business, and clothes, "including stockings that give a shapely appearance to the legs, are important, because of the way that they affect the wearer and her associates." Statistics compiled by Columbia College girls show that the cost of maintaining this standard is comparatively high. Two hundred dollars a year may do the trick for an economical girl, who is both slim and clever, which may explain the tendency for reducing the feminine figure of late years. The defender of these standards says that no blame is attached to the employers for this state of affairs, as no one wants young women of shoddy or dowdy appearance around the offices, as that would reflect upon the prosperity of the business concern. Besides, the advocate of pulchritude in business pleads that it is only human for the employers to prefer having attractive assistants about them. It was also admitted that the sex appeal created by good dressing was important in securing jobs. In this equipment for business purposes alik stockings form one of the most im- portant and costly items, as may be seen, by the estimate that a good service, weight pain can be made to last only a month with ordinary wear. As the cost is estimated at $1.50 to $2 a pair, this amounts to eighteenor twentyfour dollars a year. When the low salaried girls seek to get by with cheaper stockings, they find that often they have to buy as many as two pairs a week. This is a case where THE AGE REA THE AGE READERS' FORUM --- Retired Pullman Porter Editor The New York Age: While all the printed matter in The New York Age teens with bristling interest to its readers, I hope I may be pardoned for my bias in and for the column, *Things Seen, Heard, and Done Among Pullman Employees*.

The total c The Government of India has shown some mercy in their new regulations about the employment of women in mines. Under these rules the employment of women underground in the mines is prohibited, but it is not clear yet from the official communique announcing the rules whether the prohibition is to be enforced at once or in a leisurely way. A suspicious sentence in the communique states that "these orders will result in a gradual elimination of the employment of women as coalgetters, or as earthworkers at depths of more than 60 feet. And it is also stated that these orders will extend to the coal queries or open workings". It is therefore, too early to be the bubilant over the rules. Not until the Government prohibits the employment of oven a single woman in any of the coalgetters will they pay than in a line with other civilized Governments.

Last week a colored boy somewhere in the South was open historical contest. This week in Boston a young colored woman was cheated and denied the decision in a song contest sponsored by the Boston division of the National Federation of Music Clubs. This is the most brutal act perpetrated here for some time and outlives the darkest South. Boston, the city of culture and refinement, has been penalized, and debased and stands convicted. A soul blow has stained her reputation and deserved her public reputation, who have damned their souls and lied. In the midst of this slough, however, there is one precious jewel, and that is the frank statement of the judge who would not stare his honor by lending himself to the act. A Daniel come to indemnity. To cheat, to act a lie, for what? After reading the judge's decision the singer can rest assured that she has no cause for regret at not getting the purloined decision; the only pang she may entertain is pity for those who have weakened their moral fibre, by their base subfurge, prevarication and prejudice. Racial and religious prejudices are to be found in all sections; but Boston was hardy, the place where one would expect so petty an exhibition. Discussing points of "Sanitary Etiquette," that should be observed to prevent the transmission of germ disgases, Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, in an article in the St. Luke Herald of Richmond, referred to personal contact as a means of infection, saving: These contacts are far more common than most people realize; and under our modern complex social organization, especially in large cities, close personal contacts in a variety of ways are important. Individuals depend upon customs and uses difficult to break up, as, for example, inconsiderate use of the handkerchief with soiling of the hands, indiscriminate kissing, and handshaking. The Chinese custom of bowing and indiscriminate kissing may far more desirable from a sanitary standpoint. There are a number of these contacts, however, which cannot be defended on any grounds. They simply represent unhygienic manners. One of these habits is particularly representative of some article to another person after it has been wet with saliva. In view of the prevalence of influenza, which is one of the important contact diseases, it is a good time to bring to public attention this habit of not wearing a protective mask,ifiable and thoroughly condemnable from every standpoint. This is the habit of sticking one's fingers in his mouth before performing some action that involves another person. It is usually associated with the case of an unprionication habit person after it has been wet with saliva. Could there be any closer or more direct personal contact between individuals? Education was recommended as a more effective remedy than the law for such unhygienic habits. In the meantime the individual who poses with finger in mouth, should be labeled as dangerous, we suppose. Referring to the investigation of patronage distribution in the South, the Louisiana Weekly of New Orleans admitted that it has revealed some might, sorridd things. It continued sentative LaGuardia, of New York, permitting the retirement on full pension of Matthew Henson, who is six fourteen years short of the term of service as a customs employee which would normally entitle him to a maximum allowance. For no other man in the world can equal Henson's claim to consideration. He is sole owner of the party of six men of whom four of them Falkenstein on April 6, 1909, stood at the pole the first of humankind to realize the ambition of centuries of dream and endeavor. Henson, a colored man who had long been with Peary, was the only one of his party, outside of the natives whom the explorer picked to make with him the last dash to the lake after the rest of the expedition tended to the river. In 1913 he was appointed to a beth in the Customs House, as some small recognition of his claim on the consideration of the Government whose flag he had helped plant at the top of the world. The eighteen years he had spent in the Arctic, greater part of them in the Arctic, fairly be added to the sixteen in his present berth as making up close to a generation of public service. But irrespective of such calculations, the courage and hardy endurance he showed on that final dash, and his success as a great explorer, one of the illustrations, the American, Navy, amply justify such recognition as is proposed. Colen is generally conceded as having largely directed the policies of the state, organization in the methods to be pursued in the disposal of patronage. National Lomelism a protege of Colen, and it can reasoned ferrel that Kunz adopted part of Colen's political tact. Consequently, the clean record of Louisiana can be attributed to the fact that Wal- A particular weakness in the Southern States has been that it was necessary to finance the expense of many of the delegates to the national conventions, as well as to State this has been avoided in Louisiana this has been avoided in men of means and integrity interested in Republican affairs; men who were able to finance themselves instead of having to collect from prospective job applicants. By this method the candidate of aspirants for the Republican nomination by buying up the Louisiana delegation has likewise been avoided. This happy result is in a large measure due to the sterling character of Walter Cohen, and accounts in no small degree for his influence in the national conventions and with party leaders of the North and East. The editor closed by urging the reappointment of Mr. Cohen as Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans. The reported bad for tan complexions appears to have spread from the Florida winter resorts to California's film capital at Hollywood, according to a letter printed in the Denver Colorado Stateman, I read: With society women and actresses making brown and tan-tah complexions the fad, America bids fare to go brown-skin. Sun-tan conditions ate the age, the sun-lamp sunburn, backless sports gowns and other devices for turning milady from peaches and cream to brown, are selling rapidly. Molle Merrick in a copyrighted article for the North American Alliance, featured in many dailies over the country, has this to say about a social function in Hollywood. At a recent premiere here, Dolby Academy awarded sporting a coat of tan that was the envy of every woman in the audience. A nice, smooth, rich-brown whist made a startling effect against the lavender gown gown she wore. And yet the syndicated illustrated section foisted upon many Negro newspapers carried a full page advertisement of a "new one-minute skin whitener." Such is human nature Asserting that Perry Howard, member of the National Republican Committee from Mississippi, is "Out to Fight," the Baltimore Afro-American said: Mr Perry Howard was resigned as special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General on Monday long enough to draw a check for some $4,500 from Andy Mellon, the U.S. Treasurer and then he resigned. Mr Howard was suspended some nine months ago after he refused to resign. As arbiter of Mississippi patronage and national Republican committee of the state, lily-wanted his scalp, and 'Mabel Walker Willebrandt, also an employee of the Department of Justice, was Mabel failed to have Mr. Howard convicted in two trials in two different cities. A third effort, to disbar him, also failed. So Mr. Howard quits the Hoover administration which has not only failed to recognize the position he holds, but has used every means to discredit him politically, and personally. But for the white Democrats of his state who oppose Hoovers attempts to put a strong G O P in Mississippi, Mr. Howard would be a ruined and broken man today. Instead, he resigns, not to quit but to fight. He goes out with the evident intention to make as a host for Hoover in Mississippi as Hoover made it hot for him in Washington. And he has our best wishes. The singing out of Perry Howard for prosecution on charges made against many of the white Republican leaders in the South, smacked too much of prosecution for ulterior motives. His resentment of the effort to make him the party scapegoat was to be expected. Descanting upon the quality of optimism the editor of the Star of Zion philosophically remarked It is popular to be optimistic. The optimistic spirit is fine and often ten constructive. It enables one to undertake complacently tasks which many would shrimp. Optimism always hopes. "Always looks forward and up. But there is a foolish belief which affects not to recognize danger when every seeing person perceives its imminence. It is foolish to save a house will not burn when it is attained and the timbers cracking to cry peace when we fear the tramp of fighting men and the battle of war. The warrior recognizes tactics which whosoever name they may be called and awefish optimism brings on. As this editorial note was wished between a defence of late-imate church assessments and a plan for the printing of the journals for every annual conference, it is quite clear what particular matter the editor had in mind.

St. Martin's Chapel The Holy Spirit was the thron of the Whit Sunday race on Sunday morning, by the Roy John H Johnson, vicar of St Martin's avenue, based on the test as found in the 8th verset of the 1st chapter of Acts of the Apostles, "Ye shall receive power and the Holy Spirit come upon you." Whit Sunday, also known as Pentecost is the necessary of the day the Hospiter said the minister, beginning his sermon, "the tenth day after the Ascension of our Lord. It took place in Jerusalem. Originally, the day was known as Whit Sunday, and in appropriate wine and in appropriate wine for burgers the candidates wearing white. One of the penalties of living in a new country and of being of the Protestant faith is the loss of the knowledge and the traditions of many religious festivals. When the Spirit was received from on high It is difficult to explain the nature of the Holy Spirit, continued Mr. Johnson, "but sufficient to say, it is the invisible presence of "The Holy Spirit is the agent of God, converting the hearts of men and women. This wonderful change cannot be seen but it is felt. One readily recognizes when a man is reborn by his actions. Religious need the master of the gospel once answered the deficiencies of a professed infidel with these simple words. Ah then if you could but have hope "And lastly, the fruit of the Spirit is grace What is grace? A most simple and understanding answer was given to this question by an old Negro show Grace is a calling metaphorical in nature. And after all, that is the hum and subjugation of the Christian religion—giving something for nothing."

H Arthur Booker, did the preaching each of these nights and though he has preached 19 times over the last 10 years, and they hear him each week, as a rule yet one would have thought that he had never been heard before, by the attendance, and attention given to each of his messages. The services were with the sunrise prayer meeting, led by brother J. A. Daughtry, who also was the preacher at the eleven o'clock service. His was a good and acceptable message.

Harrison, dialogue by Rev.

We were honored to have them as our guests. Afterwards a delightful repas or chicken salad, olives, or soup was served in the chapel. About 1,300 people were served without any trouble or unpleasantness. It was a gala affair, for the beautifully decorated room, with its soft glow over the large congregation of elegantly dressed ladies and men, many of whom they were in fairland. Friendliness and good fellowship abounded. Sunday morning, May 19, the anniversary sermon was preached by Dr R J Langston, pastor Zion Church. His text was Matthew 10th chapter and a part of 18th verse; "I will bwlid my church." Subject: "The Church of Christ." He spoke of how Christ was received by those thought the church has not lost its influence. It is rooted and grounded in the need of humanity. As long as man is man and the hu man is hu man, the church. Man to be able to live above himself and be lifted, must link on to a higher power. This power is Jesus. The church solace is for the easy and less stressed in mind. The mon was touching and inspiring At the evening service Rev. Hayes gave a synopsis of the eighteen years he has been pastor of the church. He preached his first sermon in West 353rd street. The deacons in charge at that time were Julius Diggs, Evans, Allison, White, Chappelle and Godfrey, and the trustees were Taylor, Brown, Wiggins and Minette. It was interesting to hear his experiences and amusing how the congregation feared for his youth and frailty. He was installed in the following October. During the eighteen years he was connected with the church; he performed 800 funerals and married 510 couples. He said he planned in the beginning and has kept his promise to play fair with all departments of the church, showing maturity and to make Mount Olivet the church of the Open Door.

A number of questions on the Bible were submitted by the congregation and were all answered by Bishop Lawson. For the benefit of those who do not know, the Feast of Pentecost is an annual commemoration of the Birthday of the Apostolic Church over 1,000 years ago when he and his brethren were gathered in the church, fasting and praying, and the Holy Gospel came upon them as a mighty rushing wind and they spoke in other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance and were filled with praise. Divine healing services were held Friday night after Bible class taught by Bishop Lawson on the job. jeet of which was the "Three Major Effects of Sin", namely, Intimidation, Seduction and Destruction. In his teaching he explains, that the "three major effects of each of the above topics and their culmination into damnation of those who heed not the word of God and obey not his commandments," as befitting climax to this glorious feast of Pentecost and fasting a great spiritual rejoicing was the result of the Lord's Watch beginning at 11 o'clock Saturday night and lasting until 6 Sunday afternoon. Weather, an enormous crowd filled the church and auditorium to participate in the all night meeting. Truly the Spirit of God was upon Bishop Lawson and to every power of God fell upon them. We pray that God shall preserve and strengthen such a God-fearing man as Bishop Lawson, and continue to speak through him, giving him utterance and understanding preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All are welcome to the Refuge Church of Christ of the Apostolic Faith. 52-6 West 133rd street ROPH J. C. Lawson, D.

Sunday evening Dr. Samuel Macauley Lindsay, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Brookline Mass, who was pastor of Hensor Place Baptist at the time Concord Press, preached the anniversary sermon. He said the real emancipation of the Negro in America is coming and his contribution will be pure Christian religion of quality, quality in individual living, based on a belief in personal immortality, reasons for believing this. First, our personalities which are invite like God's. Second God's justice must be shown in another world for here we have a tree worth only $200, not praising his man, praising his name and worth untold sums, lives 55 years on the average. Third, we trace our ancestry to God, not to a cosmic skum or a monkey, because we partake of His essence. Fourth, we believe the teachings Jesus had with the church, Jesus will shall also, and "We are in Me and in you." Fifth, Jesus resurrection was a dramatization of the life of the Christian after death, working, loving, being recognized, thinking. Dr. Hanson contributed the Christian Church has made to men of all ages is the belief in a personal immortality."

It was his last sermon before going to the annual conference and he was greeted by a vast throng, many of whom were present long before the services started. Dr. Tyler prefaced his remarks by stating the words of the text were spoken by Jesus just before his experience in Gethaename, and just before He offered Himself in His Messias' work.

He also stated that; "Those who sense the crusade of Jesus and its importance and, aid in making this wise God, and have the proper concern for right and righteousness, are doing His bidding."

BOB SLATER Maceo Pinkard pulled the biggest flop of the season when he opened his novels, musical comedy entitled *Tans* last Tuesday at the Belmont Theatre, New York City. To say how bad the show was would be like throwing a cat on a drowned duck, but it ought to be a lesson for all those would be producers. One must know how to construct a snow, then get the proper talent to put it over. After that is done, open out or to run get the rough edges off before opening on Broadway.

The cotton fields, the levees, and all the charm, rhythm and music of the old South are brought vividly out in "Hearts in Dixie". An old-fashioned wedding, performed just as it would have been performed in the old days after the war brings a hearty laugh, and the singing of the mass chorus under A. H.

But with such encouragement and opportunity as is afforded by this school, with its founder's aspiring, ideas being developed by a devoted widow, a hard-working son, and an unusually talented daughter, the possibilities for such an organization are widening more and more each day. For not only is there the Symphony Orchestra being developed by young David, but there is also a Young Folk's Orchestra under the direction of his sister, the young Gertrude, from whence will be drawn, as their progress warrants, players for the senior organization. ROLAND HAYES ENDS RECORD TOUR ROLAND HAYES ENDS RECORD TOUR Roland Hayes completed hja, fifth tour of America, in many ways the greatest he has ever had, by making his third appearances in New York and Boston (on April 21 and 28) before overflowing audiences. Roland Hayes shared with Fritz Kreisler, alone, the distinction of appearing three times in Carnegie Hall last season. No other musician that appeared in Symphony Hall, Boston. The reenthal was sponsored by the New York Branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc., the local group being headed by Miss Minne Brown, one of the leading sopranos of the race, whose charm is perennial, and likewise one of the most unselfish, always willing and striving to be of some service to the aspiring young musician, as president. As expressed by the program, this association aims to encourage and assist talented, deserving Negro youth in the development of their musical talents, and in affording opportunities for giving expression to their accomplishments. Indeed it is saie to say that no singer, in the season now past, has had nearly so large a publie. Nor has any American born artist ever held the attention and interest of the world to nearly so large an extent. Koland Hayes will sail this month for Europe, where he will meet a limited number of engagements. The tenor will return to open his sixth tour of America in the middle of November. The tour will end in April. 1930.

J., in which they had the support of Cora Wynn Alexander as accompanist LORENZA COLE PLAYS THE PIANOFORTE For the third recital to be heard between the hours of 4 and 6 p.m., the playing of a program of music for the pianoforte by Lorenza Cole, (the young woman from Seattle, Wash., who has been studying the past season at the Juilliard Musical Foundation) at the Mme Walker Studio, 108 West 136th street, the torential downpour which greeted one on leaving the Elks' Auditorium necessitated the com-mandeering of a taz. Mme. Mason has been heard a number of times, including Aeolian Hall appearances in New York City, but this was, as a strict matter or fact, Miss Mayo's first formal concert appearance. This young artist has a voice of pleasing quality, with a colorful umbre, with competent technique in phrasing, breathing and interpretative ability. She has an attractive stage presence, and gives evidence of rare temperament, but unfortunately she does not reen in this needful asset. The result is that Miss Mayo offers little variety in her singing. Miss Cole's program was a well-balanced offering of standard classics and modern novelties. Brahms' compositions opened the recital, the numbers being Intermezzo, Nos. 1 and 2, opus 118, and Ballade in G Minor, opus 118. This was followed by the Beethoven Appassionata Sonata, three Etudes by Chopin, Waldensrauchen by Liszt, Serenade by Rachmannoff, LeDance de Olaf by Pick-Mangiagoli, and Fireworks by Debussy. To these were added the Etude in D Flat Minor and the Revolutionary Etude by-Chopin Of course, this may be from the lack of experience, and a need to keep strict watch over each vocal utterance to avoid vocal lapses, for she sings with evident carefulness and particularity. This makes it, is true, for clarity of enunciation, which it is hoped she will always strive to. Her charming personality, evidenced when she comes on the stage, and when she is acknowledging the plaudits of her admirers, is almost completely veiled by the assumption of a stolid attitude that is not in keeping with her real charm, both of person and of voice. Irt most of these numbers, Miss Cole confirmed the opinion formed on a first hearing that she is possessed of many promising qualities as a pianist, qualities that may be developed with a continuance of earnest study. This second hearing did not, however, disclose as ripened an art as was expected. Some of the numbers, particularly the moderns, were given with fluent clarity and meticulous technical efficiency, and this, too, may be said of the Liszt and Rachmannoff numbers There is a quality in her voice that is rather unusual. While it has a lyric, hitting quality, there are moments when it takes on a depth of color and a sonority of utterance that betoken unusual powers held in reserve. It is even in register, maintaining its tone quality through all its ranges, with a particularly pregnant appeal in its altissimo. The Beethoven Sonata was played with ample digital dexterity, but there were passages marred by a lack of the robustness or utterance required for bringing out the intensity of the deaf composer's imagination. Mme. Mason has contralto voice of unusual depth and resonance, and she sings with artistry and intelligence. Seldom does the jaded reviewer have an opportunity to hear a voice as often as he has heard Mme. Mason's, and find that it retains its quality with an almost invarying fidelity. In this particular, Mme. Mason is unique. She is seemingly always up to the performance of whatever singing task she essays. The recital was sponsored by the Harry T. Burleigh Music Study Club as a benefit, the proceeds to be applied toward Miss Cole's further studies in music. During the past season she has been a protegee of Miss Mary White Owington, whose interest in the race has previously been shown through her activities as chairman of the board of directors of the N. A. A. (P, who provided tunds for the young artist's maintenance while she was pursuing her work as the holder of a Juilliard fellowship. It might not be out or place, however, to suggest that some additional operatic areas might be added to Mine, Mason's repertoire, for however effectively the "Il Trovatore" and "Chi Lgonotti" airs may be sung, there are others that might be just as effective Miss Ovington's interest is unchanged, but she cannot carry the financial responsibility alone, and so there has come an effort on part of the club to assist in raising the funds necessary to the young woman's continued study. Another philanthropie-minded person, Mrs Ann Mason Myer, has become interested in Miss Cole, and, with her husband, has expressed an intention to aid substantially in helping Miss Cole continue her studies. The program opened with a duet, "I would that my love by Mendelssohn, and it was well suited to the voices of Miss Mayo and Mme. Mason, as was the final number, the duet, 'The Evening' ("Pique-Dame") by Tschakowsky. The solo numbers offered by Mme Maison were Farewell, Tschakowsky, "Only love," Darmjsky; "Slumber song," Gretchanoff, "Go down, Moses," "Were you there" and "Wade in de water," Burleigh, "Stride la vampa" from "I Trovatore," Verdi, "I pleure dans mon cour," Burmasy, "Give ye, say lords" from "Gli Ugnotti," Meyerbeer, and "The Omnipotence." Schubert. To these were added a number of encores MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN IN NEW YORK After a long interval, New Yorkers were given an opportunity on Monday evening, May 20, to listen to the carrollings of Mme. Anita Patty Brown, of Chicago, whose work as a cantatrice has taken her to all sections of both North and South America, and the Caribbean Islands which he midway between Miss Mayo sang "Care salve from Atlanta, Hendel, 'Un tous bien,' Delbruck, "Floods of Springs," Rachmannoff, "There are carries at the bottom of our garden," Lehmann, "Till I wake," Woodside Finden, "Unmindful of the roses," S Coleridge-Taylor, and "May Morning," Denza. And she, also, was called upon for a number of additional songs. Mme. Brown came to St Marks M E Church, 138th street and Edgecombe avenue, the Res. J. W. Robinson, pastor, under auspices of the Eastor's Social Helpers, Mrs Sadie Saunders, president, and under the managerial aegis of Edgar T Rouzeau of the New York News Mrs. Alexander played the accompaniments with her usual percussion and sympathetic efficiency. She was greeted by a large and appreciative audidence, and presented a program that included Italian, German, French and English compositions, with a group of Negro Spirituals. OLYVE WHITE NORMAN, SOPRANO The passing years, have taken nothing from this singer's charm, but have added much to her knowledge of the art of singing. She is as graciously charming, as vivacious, as full of the joy of life as in the days that have gone, and there is an added brilliance to the roulade of notes that trill forth in fascinating beauty. Notwithstanding the terrific electric storm which broke over New York City just about concert-going time last Sunday afternoon, the several musical affairs were not altogether deserted by music-loving people. The first to engage attention was the recital of Olive White Northern coloratura soprang, who presented her offerings at the Grace congregational Church, 308 West 149th street, with Hall Johnson as composer. But there is not the sonorous depth of tone the velvety smoothness, the gorgeous glory or sound, as of sorr. It is as if in being refined in the crucible of artistic development there has been a burning away of some of the vital elements, but the voice which remains has a crystalline quality, a clarity of enunciation that makes it a pleasurable experience to listen to her singing. Mr. Norman disclosed a voice of good quality, an organ that delivers much better treatment than it seemingly has received. There evidence of much native ability on part of the singer, affinity which, it properly shaped, should enable her to sing with an attractiveness that is in keeping with her charming personality and with her evident musical comprehension. The program offered by the singer was as follow: "Care selve" from "Atalanta, and "O sleep, why dost thou leave me Handel, 'A non creda muratti, Bellini, 'Verborgenheit, Wolf, 'Le Thé, Kolchin, 'Chanson triste, Duparc, 'Luett, Signor, Meyer beer, 'At the spinning wheel Saar 'Soldier's Bride, Rachmannoff, 'The wounded birch, Gretchenanoff, 'Linsona pideola, Verdi, 'Wain suit, 'Brahms; 'Jesus gonna make up my dying bed, Hall 'Keep me from sinking down, Brown, 'You better mind and let the Church roll on, Hall, 'Do you Tania, Thomas In the rendering of Robaudi's "Alla, stella confidente, there was depth of tone color, clarity of utterance, tidality to pitch and fitting temperament. To these qualities was added intelligence in interpretation. The cello obligabile was played by Tedman Smith. Another humber, the "Una vore pore far aria from Rossini's sphere di Sviglia, displayed to good advantage the artist's color capacity. There was a clear brilliance in most of the bravura ages that made them saintillate and glitter as they strung them like dewdrops on tree branches in the sunlight. But, alack, the string phrase was lopped off so abruptly as to have the effect of shak-all the glittering globules to the ground THE SCHUBERT GLEE CLUB EDWARD MARGETSON, Conductor At RENAISSANCE CASINO 138th STREET And SEVENTH AVENUE.

BERRY PARKER TO BE PRESENT Parker, the big mogul among Negro empire, and chairman of the board of directors, is present at the annual memorial services in the Penn Terminal New York and New will be held on Sunday evening, June 2 at last Church, this city big the cordial invitation on which was extended, this church was again chosen as the edi-desired to hold their year's exercises. Rev. will preach the memorial sermon Mr. Pa-speaker on the activities of the association. It comes by way of that four of all local rumors, the Stovepipe Committee, that W. C Taylor, assistant in the department ever since its establishment, will succeed the late F. M. Price as head agent of the Pullman Employment Bureau in the New York district. The former head of this bureau died rather suddenly several weeks ago been handled by Mr. Taylor. Since his death, the greater part of the work of the department has. Whether the talk has any basis for existence, or is merely one of those ample wanderers seeking receptive shelter, no one in an official capacity will say. And, of course, Mr Taylor is too loyal to Pullman traditions to make any statement regarding it, in fact, when approached recently on this subject, he expressed surprise, and said it was news to him. Further than that, he would not make any comment. This reticence, however, wasn't at all surprising. It is characteristic with these dyed-in-the-wet Pullmanites to assume a sphinx-like attitude in commenting on probable actions of the company. What they may think and feel about these probabilities are matters at which one has to guess. Nevertheless it is a good guess, that this rumor had reached Mr Taylor's ears before. However, in giving this rumor serious consideration, there are several phases in connection with this department that might stand in the way of Mr. Taylor's promotion from assistant to head. One of these is the time-worn barrier of color, for Mr Taylor is a colored man. But if this doesn't prove to be the real bar, the other phases may easily be discounted as barriers. Now, so far as efficiency and training go there isn't one of these employment agents more qualified to fill the vacancy than the colored man. Furthermore, he has made a diligent study of the work of the bureau. As a matter of fact, he is so proficient in it that he can also tell the minute an applicant enters the bureau whether the applicant will be suitable for the job he seeks. Another attribution is his loyalty to the company. In respect to loyalty, which is considered one of main springs in the mechanism of the Pullman supervisory machine, he ranks to one. Thirty year in any service is likely to have the effect of leaving its indentures upon the servitor. For these number of years W C (Bill) Taylor has served the Pullman Company. First, as porter, then as instructor of porters, and now as agent in one of its employment bureaus. In each of these positions he has made good. On him the Pullman imprints are indelibly stamped, and these imprints are training, efficiency and loyalty. No corporation can ask more addressing the representatives of the porters and maids at their 20 industrial conference, the late President of the Pullman Company, Mr. Carry, was reported as having said that the company's object was to give its Negro employees a square deal. In some instances that promise has been kept. In the last three years many Negroes have been promoted to critical positions in the Pullman service, although the talk commenced by way of the smokestack, it is not targeted to believe that the Pullman management will continue to carry out its late president's promise. Surely, in the case of W. C. Tarter, the chance to do so is open. PERRY PARKER TO BE PRESENT Perry Parker, the big mogul among Negro employees of the Palmman service, and chairman of the board of directors of the P. P. B.

Whether its automobiles, phonographs, or one of the many other things that have become a part of daily life, a 1919 model won't do today. No one would want a 1919 telephone system either. In ten swift years, your telephone horizon has widened remarkably; the quality of the service has steadily improved — quicker connections — clearer talking — more dependable service. Ten years ago, in New York State, there were less than 1,286,000 telephones within reach of your voice. Today, the number is double. Twice as many people within your quick reach Friends, Neighbors, Merchants, Doctors, Lawyers, and a host of others — all made instantly accessible to you by telephone. And increasing at the rate of 550 with every working day. These advances are some of the results of the constant effort to grow steadily with your needs, and to make your telephone of greater value to you and every other subscriber.

Herrick are joining with Commissioner Whalen in the setting aside of Sunday, May 26, as an "Example Day," on which Central Park policemen will hand out summons to every person who violates the law against littering the park. Throwing away of banana skins, old newspapers or any other kind of refuse on park lawns or paths; plucking flowers or twigs are forbidden. The branch offices of the Street Cleaning Department in Harlem have been provided with printed cards to be distributed to house- BELL SCHOOL holders, janitors and tenants, informing them of just what is required by law, and urging the people to make every day "Clean-Up Day". The card instructs that garbage cans must be provided for all organic waste, or matter that will decay; that these cans must not be filled to above four inches from the top, and cans must have covers. Ash cans must be provided for other matter, including glass, tin, shells, and any other matter that will not burn. All rubbish must be tied in a bundle, and bulky material, bats battresses, furniture etc. must be kept together. Take In Empty Cans It is also urged that cans be removed immediately from the sidewalks when empty, and that garbage cans be cleaned often to prevent breeding on flies. The people are asked to cooperate further by cleaning the sidewalks reg.

Act at once. ularly and by not throwing refuse into the street. Formen of the department state that the wagons start on their daily rounds at 7 o'clock each morning, and that the principal streets are given the first attention. By 9 o'clock, as a rule, these streets are taken care of, and then the other streets are looked after. There are three kinds of trucks provided by the city—for ashes, garbage and rubbish, respectively, and citizens are requested not to mix the different matters in the town. Such action is a violation, and is subject prosecution. The department vehicles operate from 7 a. m. to 4 p. m., and all cars should be put out as early as possible. Garbage Down Dumbwalters Particular complaint is made by the department officials against the habit in many of the apartment houses in Harlem, of throwing garbage down the dumb waiter shaft. This practice, is decidedly unsanitary and unhealthy, and is a rabid breeder of filth, with a consequent train of sickness. Tenants, in some cases complain that the failure of janitors to supply dumb water service is responsible for their actions in this regard, but officials say that it is much better that they should wrap up the garbage and take it to the street. The Board of Health, Dr. Shirley Wynne, Commissioner, is planning a determined campaign against this practice. In the effort to bring about better conditions in Harlem, it is suggested that more attention be paid by householders and tenants to the growing of flowering plants and vines in pots and window boxes, thus making their homes more attractive to the passersby. Much will be added by attention to such simple means of beautifying Harlem. The authorities, referring to the alleged excessive death rate among the people of Harlem, point out that a strict observance of the laws of the city is necessary, a station of garbage and trash would do much toward benefiting the health of the community with a corresponding decrease in the ditch rate. Much illness may be attributed to the stench arising from rotting and decaying foodstuffs that have been thrown down the dumb water shafts.

FORTY YEARS O Forty years' dream of a home too late. All is gone. A lifetime of payments to landlords; payments that would have bought many homes, that would have meant sturdy country-grown children; happiness, comfort and freedom from worry. Forty years of slavery—slavery that was avoidable, that could have been filled with personal independence. Tis the tragedy of a thousand lives. Are YOU in This Drama?
