Landlords Say There Will Be No Increase In Harlem Rents
EXPIRATION OF EMERGENCY RENT LAW WILL NOT MEAN INCREASED HARLEM RENTS Real Estate Men Say That The Large Number Of Vacancies Will Keep Rentals Down

Contrary to the current belief, Harlem will not suffer in any way by the action of the Supreme Court, last week, in declaring the Emergency Rent Law unconstitutional. On the other hand, as one prominent realtor declared: "It is a happy incident to both landlord and tenant that the Rent Law has expired."
Henry C. Parker sr., of Nail & Parker, 145 West 135th street, in an interview Tuesday, stated that landlords could not increase rents unwisely because of the large number of vacancies caused by the rapid expansion of Harlem, both North and South.
Augustine A. Austin, president of the Antillean Holding Company of 167 West 145th street, and Sydney T. Christian, secretary-treasurer of the firm, both agreed that the rent situation was not as serious as is commonly believed. They stated that during the long years of their company's existence there had never been as many vacancies listed at their office as there have been during the past six months. Mr. Austin declared that the law of supply and demand would operate here.

Landlords Did For Tenants
Confirming the opinions of the other realists, Watt Terry of the Terry Holding Company, Inc., 2380 Seventh avenue, declared that "the best proof that no emergency exists is that landlords are bidding for tenants".
The consensus of opinion among the real estate man is that the Emergency Rent Law, as passed by the city, was merely a political move on the part of the Democratic party. One realor stated that the Democrats used the passage of the law as a means of vote getting and further stated that it was significant the although the test case was first scheduled for a hearing in June that each time it had come up it had been postponed until decision was rendered two weeks after election.
While the rent situation is very favorable for the tenants in that there are so many variances, and the landlords are faced with large numbers of removals if they should unwidely increase rents too much, yet there are several classes of tenants who will face raises in rents.
As one real estate man said, the landlords in some cases have been unable to meet their expenditures in managing their property properly with the small rental they have been receiving from some long-time tenants. And with the increase in tax rates, together with the proportionate increase in costs of operations, the landlord has been unable to get a fair return on the money he has invested in the property.

Killed in Knife Fight
Bennie Edwards, 28 of 437 Manhattan avenue, and Doc Horton, 27 of 145 West 141st street, were rivals for the love of Miss Ethel Williams, 20 of 2465 Seventh avenue. The two met in the hallway at 2465 Seventh avenue Tuesday night and a fight ensued when Edwards is alleged to have made an attempt to prevent Horton from seeing Miss Williams.
Patrolman Allen J. Penton of the 32nd Precinct was off duty in civilian clothing; and walking on Seventh avenue when he heard a cry for help. He rushed to the entrance of the apartment building where the two men were engaged in a scuffle about 15 feet from the front door. Just as he entered the building he saw Horton stab Edwards in the left side of the neck and then dash toward the door. He ran into the arms of the policeman, who showed his badge and placed Horton under arrest. As he did so Horton struck the officer and attempted to get away but was soon overpowered. Patrolman Brushman was summoned and he rushed the wounded man to Harlem Hospital in a taxi cab. There it was found that Edward's jugular vein had been severed and he died within an hour. Horton was taken to the 32nd Precinct and on Wednesday, morning was arraigned on a charge of manslaughter at the 12th District Magistrate's Court. He is being held without bail.

Saturday in Honor of
Newly Formed C. M. A.
The twenty Negro grocers in Harlem, who were recently organized into the Colored Merchant's Association by Albon L. Holsey, were felicitated by a representative group of Harlem business men Saturday afternoon, November 23. These business men, in eight automobiles with banners on them, paraded through the streets of Harlem and visited each store.
The stores had all been cleaned up, their stocks replenished, and were found to be doing a rushing business on the occasion of their first sale under the banner of the C. M. A.
Where The Stores Are
Members of the C. M. A., which is a cooperative buying organization are the following stores. The Tradwell Company, at 2445 Eighth avenue; Osborne Potter's Store at 2187 Seventh avenue; James Hurd's at 2145 Seventh avenue; Edwin Hurd's at 273 West 122nd street, Donnie Walsh's at 63 East 132nd street, M.

Addresses Meeting of Parents' Association of Public School 119 on Diptheria Preventatives; Harlem to Have Health Center Before an audience that taxed the capacity of the auditorium in P. S. 119, 133rd street, near Eighth avenue, Dr. Shirley W. Wynne, Commissioner of Health for the City of New York, emphasized the need, of greater health protection for the children of Harlem on the occasion of the monthly meeting on Thursday night, November 21, of the Parents' Association of that school, of which Alderman Fred
R. Moore is chairmen.
Dr. Wynne told of the precautionary measures to be taken to prevent the spread of dyphtheria among the children, calling attention to the fact that similar precautions had practically eradicated small pox and other epidemic diseases in New York City. Parents were urged to exercise the utmost care in looking out for the health welfare of their children and much practical advice was entomized in Dr. Wynne's talk.
He expressed his pleasure at coming to Harlem to meet the Parents' Association of P. S. 119, Miss Amaa E. Lawson, principal, and for the opportunity to again greet "my old sidepartner, Dr. E. P. Roberts," who, with Mrs. Roberts occupied seats on the platform.
Health Center for Harlem
During the course of his talk Dr. Wynne disclosed the fact that the establishment of a Health Centre in Harlem was a practical certainty and that it would almost surely be in operation by December 1. He stated definitively that the plans only waited final approval by the Board of Estimate, and that there is little doubt but that the Board will approve the matter. Incidentally, the Health Commissioner declared that full credit for this Center in Harlem belongs to Alderman Moore.
The establishment of a Health Center in Harlem, he said, had been discussed by Mayor James J Walker and himself, but the proposition only took tangible form when Alderman Moore presented a definite plan for its establishment with the securing a suitable site for the purpose and arranging a satisfactory lease for the same. This Center, declared Dr. Wynne, would be of the most vital importance in the battle for better health conditions in Harlem, and he stated also that it would enable the health authorities to centralize in one building all the health and welfare agencies now operating in this community
The Commissioner informed the audience that he had left the birthday party of his son, which was being celebrated at his home. 3 Fast Sord street, and that, incidentally, it was "Dad's birthday also." He was given a hearty round of congratulatory applause.
School's Health Program.
Dr Wynne paid a full compliment to the health program which is being carried on at P. S. 119 After hearing the health play, "The Little Vegetable Man", and the talk by Miss Haas, teacher of JB, who gave a description of the health work at P. S. 119, he declared that his coming to talk on health at this school was entirely unnecessary. Those seated on the platform in addition to Dr Wynne and Dr and Mrs F P Roberts, were Miss Anna L Lawson principal of the school Dr Rudolf Rapp, assistant general medical superintendent of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, in charge of Harlem Hospital; Mrs
Eleta Reinhardt and Miss Bernadette Moore, assistant superintendent of nurses, and superintendent of the Nurse Training School, respectively, of Harlem Hospital, who represented Mrs. Sadie J. O'Brien, superintendent, who has brought the hospital's nursing services and training school to high degrees of capability, and under whose administration the personnel has become largely composed of colored nurses; and Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, secretary of the Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association.
Health Demonstration.
Dr. Wynne's address was preceded by an interesting health demonstration by pupils of the school. A group from 634 gave a health slogan recitation, spelling out the word H E A L T H, and each girl representing a letter gave a little recitation on her particular letter. Those participating in this part of the program were Mary Ellison, Naomi Harris, Dorothy Anderson, Naomi Butler, Vivian Jones and Olivia Jackson.
There was also a playlet "The Little Vegetable Men," which was much enjoyed by those present. The The characters in this playlet were Fairy Health, Carroleizer Moore; Chew-Chew, Constance Gray; Witch Ignorance, Marthaline Kutledge; Mr. Onion, Pearl Brown; Mr. Carrot, Josephine Nesbit, Mr. Beet, Gloria Spencer; Mr. Bean Marrian Fry, Mr. Spinnach, Nancy Waters; Neighbor Apple Tree, Enrica Campbell; Miss Pansy, Beryl Fitt; Miss Pansy, Phyllis Marshall; Miss Sweet Pea, Cara Savage; Dog Publicity, Goldie Shannon.
The musical part of the program was exceptionally good. In addition to selections by the Glee Club of 119, Dr. J. A. Von Sopp, director, Mrs. R. T. Peace, pianist, the Harlem Nurses Glee Club, Lucien H. White, director Miss Ethel Rhodes, pianist, deligated the audience with their renditions. The singing nurses rendered a group of Spirituals—"No Hiding place down there"; "Go down, Moses"; Roll, Jordan, roll"; and "Every time I (Continued on Seventh Page)

JOHN L. WEBB
JOHN L. WEBB HEADS CENTURY LIFE INS. CO. Litigation Avoided When Settlement of Suits Is Agreed Upon
Hot Springs, Ark.—Prolonged and expensive litigation in the courts of Arkansas and Illinois over the transfer of stock in the Century Life Insurance Company, an Arkansas corporation, was prevented here last week when the principals involved, settled without prejudice, the entire matter out of court.
The principals involved in the litigation were Jesse Binga, Chicago banker, and John L. Webb, national fraternal leader, on one side, with A. E. Bush, formerly national grand scribe-treasurer, Mosaic Templars of America, and at the time of the litigation president of the Century Life, Insurance Co., and J. G. Ish ir., well known educator, and former secretary and agency director of the Century, on the other.
Bush and Ish were formerly majority stockholders in the Century. A large block of stock held by them came into possession of Jesse Binga. John L. Webb acquired this stock from Mr. Binga and became majority stockholder. Some months ago he removed the home office from Little Rock to Hot Springs, which was done solely in the interest of economy and efficiency.
Suits Were Instituted.
A dispute arose over the legal interretation of transfer of stock and values. Bush and Ish instituted suits in Chicago against Bmga. Binga won a temporary victory in the Illinois cour Webb brought suit for the foreclosures or notes of Bush and Ish in the courts of Hot Springs These court actions created the impression among the stockholders that disaster might overtake the company which had been launched under such favorable circumstances. Mr. Webb was determined that disaster would not overtake the enterprise, and with characteristic generosity, made a sincere and unselfish effort to settle the matter out of court. In this he was successful. The company has since been reorganized, with Mr. Webb as president-treasurer; B. G. Olive Jr., secretary-manager; Dr John E. Eve medical dictator. In the interest of economy all the other offices were abolished. The company operates in Arkansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma.

stranded because the Red Cross cannot continue the help which it now offers to them and their families." Mr. Hayden declared.
Aiding Service Men
"Half of the annual budget is spent in aiding former disabled service men, who because of shell shock or disability are unable to shift for themselves. The Red Cross has handled over 10,000 war veteran problems in New York County and the Bronx. Another important work which may have to be curtailed is the emergency relief which the Chapter carries on in case of disaster, such as last year's subway catastrophe, of the hurricane in Porto Rico. One third of the nurses sent to Porto Rico came from New York; and 5,000 garments, 9,000 dressings, and other equipment, sped to the and other equipment, sped to the warehouses.
"The November Roll Call is the only appeal for funds which the Red Cross makes during the entire year, except in the case of special disaster. Upon its success depends the program of 1930.

"Our annual Roll' Call opened on Armistice Day. Seven hundred men and women are giving volunteer service that every penny of the fund may be used for the actual work of the organization. Office work, organization details and solicitation of funds are carried on by this group of volunteers."
Mr. Hayden urged those who have not received an invitation to join the Red Cross through the churches, stores, theatres or places of business to send their contributions direct to Chapter Headquarters, 598 Madison avenue.

The celebration of a Thanksgiving Day is a beneficent institution. So easy it is to overrate the dissatisfactions and underrate the satisfactions of life, that without a stated time for stock taking we should probably forget to "count our blessings." Thanksgiving at least brings us up short and makes us think.
This Thanksgiving is especially significant in the Branch because when we look back we do so over a period of twenty-five years, and we see the realization of many dreams and the fruits of many prayers and much labor. There were, doubtless, many women working in the Association more than twenty years ago who hoped and believed that this center for girls would grow and develop just as it has done.
As we take stock now we are most grateful for the Christian ideals, the fervent prayers and the consecrated service which have gone into the upbuilding of this work.
Naturally we could not take stock without feeling a glow of gratitude for every phase of association work which seems to render real service to the community—for a well equipped residence; for a swimming pool; for several hundred girls and women in regular attendance upon classes; for the cafeteria; for a pleasant lobby in which men or women may sit and read or write—or all these things and more we are very thankful.
And this year we find new cause for gratitude in the spirit shown by the younger members of the Branch during the campaign. Unaccustomed as they have been to taking responsibility for this work upon their shoulders, they are more and more each year showing a willingness to, themselves, give service to an organization which aims always to meet their needs and desires. Younger members in all departments have worked hard in campaign this year and have for the most part reached their quotas despite the appalling amount of unemployment.
The High School Girl Reserve Club—the Live-Y-Ers—held a very delightful and dignified affair on Friday evening, November 22, in the large club room. This was the occasion of the dedication of the Girl Reserve Library. The tea table with its colorful china and tall candles and the lovely flowers about the room added charm to the scene. Dr. Rudolph Fisher, author of "The Walls of Jericho," was the speaker of the evening, and Miss Olive Williams played the piano. On Wednesday, November 27, the annual recognition ceremonial for all Girl Reserve clubs was held. The Girl Reserves will carry fruit to the children in Harlem Hospital for Thanksgiving.
The members of the membership group which meets on Thursday night are going to Ellis Island an Thanksgiving morning to visit a group of blind people there. They will carry fruit and other gifts.

Carlton Y Notes
As an added feature to the program for men, plans are on foot to have monthly smokers in order to introduce the new men of the Dormitory to Dorm life. The first smoker thus planned is to be on Friday night, November 6th, the day after Thanksgiving.
A movement is on foot to organize a Carlton Y Orchestra. The key men who have already signified their intentions to become members of the orchestra are: Alvin Burke, violinist, J. Phillips, cornetist, C. Atwell, pianist, V. Walker, violinist, and A. Herbert, drummer. This group is to have no connection whatsoever with the Carlton Band which was started last season and which has been meeting regularly every week for rehearsal. From the progress they have made so far there is every possibility that this band will develop into quite an organization. Another feature to be added to the program is to be known as "Lobby Features." These will come once a month. The purpose of these programs is to bring before the members well known artists and groups interested in choral singing and quartet work. As the first attraction of this kind it has already been arranged to present the Brooklyn Choral Club in a varied program of folk, songs and popular music, under the direction of Prof. William Brown. The date is Friday evening, December 13th, at 8:30 o'clock, at the Branch Building in the Men's Social Room. The public is cordially invited to attend.

The new plans and this should be left until another year, but old plans, that have already been started, will bring fair returns. Financial affairs are not so well favored. These people should be patient and use good judgment in their speech and actions, for the reputation and honor can be lost otherwise.

Irmo, S. C.-The Rev. Calvin Monroe young died at his home near Harbison Agricultural College November 3, 1929, after a long illness. Dr. Young was born a slave 70 years ago at Due West, S. C. He spent the first 23 years of his life there on the farm. At this age he knew very little, if anything about books, but he had been under the influence of strict old-fashioned christian training in the Presbyterian church.
There came into his mind and heart the idea that he wanted to do something for his people and render christian service to mankind So at the age of 23 he left home in poverty and without even the rudiments of an education to go to Biddle University, now Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte NC. There he spent 12 years in literary and theological training. During these years of training he pastored and built churches in both North and South Carolina

The first outstanding work he did after finishing the college and seminary was the building of the, Hermon Presbyterian Church at Rock Hill. S. C. He was called from there in the fall of 1906 to become the president of Harbison College at Abbeville. There he passed through some of the most horrifying experiences of his life. The college was burned—three precious lives with it. This did not discourage him.
After being convinced that the college could not be rebuilt at Abbeville he found the present site, Irmo, S. C. for the college. He labored here 17 years under care and direction of the Board of Missions for Freedmen, and erected buildings and accumulated property worth more than $200,000.

THE NEW YORK AGE
By Rienzi B. Lemus
Washington, D. C.—The South is soon due to become a battlefield of a struggle of titanic proportions. It won't be a political scrap—except incidentally. As usual, the Negro will be the foil of the spoil. The American Federation of Labor will make a drive to organize textile mill operatives. The operators are poing to resist. And when it is all over the Federation will have succeeded—because of the Negro "menace" to southern institutions. Communism has furnished the required commonality of "communion." The increasing results may be noted by all; and quite obvious
Generally the Negro serves as foil of organized labor through his forced (by organized labor) role of strikebreaker. But in the textile industries of the South the potential strikebreakers are more white hillbillies from the mountains. Negroes are not textile operatives—actual or potential except of mops, shovels, brooms, freight trucks and refuse wheelbarrows.
The Afric, however, does attend a field of great promise for the Communists. And "there is the rub." For Communism has seared the South. The textile industries supplied the occasion, and it is textiles specifically that the A. F. of L. goes South for! The Cleveland, Ohio. Communists selected a "jury" to go down to harkite, N. C. to observe the trial of Communists found guilty of killing the police chief of Gastonia during textile strike disturbances in that North Carolina town.
persons and two male Negroes. It declined to be "jimcrowed" in the segregated Carolina courtroom, was chased out, returned, and remained—intact" and undisturbed throughout the remainder of the court proceedings. The persistence of this mixed Communist group had a marked effect on blacks and whites, alike, according to a most reliable but non-quotable authority.
The Baltimore Communists.
Efforts of the Baltimore M.I. police to prohibit public dances of mixed races Communists met with failure and are therefore no longer made. The unassorted racial groups, consequently "commune" right on without annoyance but with unrestrained manifestations of animity and in perfect concord. Thus it is the spread of Communism to the South in utter disregard of that section's orthodox racial customs that affords cause and grave concern and, in some places, alarm.
When in 1920—in this writer's presence, Mr. T. Arnold Hill, industrial relations' director of the National Urban League, frankly told President Green and the executive Council of the Federation of Labor, at headquarters in Washington that the labor unions' policy of more or less racial discrimination would ultimately force many Negro workers 'into Communism, Mr. Green replied 'No, no. Mr Hill' Have no fear; the colored man never will be a Communist. Whereupon the writer added—"Brother Green I fear you are making the common mistake of attempting to group a race; it should not be overlooked that colored men have diametrically differing perspectives as do white persons."
The Inevitable Comma
The inevitable is happening, too

Communism has amnished the required commonality of "communion." The increasing results may be noted by all; and quite obviously has been noted by the leaders of the American Federation of Labor, who always see "red" when the Communists (Reds) advance; without, however, running amuck and doth the traditional bull, when shown red. To the contrary, President Green cautiously proceeds to locate Reds boring fighter within the A. F. of L. unions, and then acts drastically at expulsion. From the viewpoints of orthodox trades-unionism and of the "southly" (majority) South the situation is grave.
An Apparent Outcome
So it is consequently apparent, according to my cautious and reliable observer friend here what will be the ultimate outcome of the A. F of L drive to organize the Southern textile industries: The operators will resist, and their resistance will be equal to the labor union's offensive. But, usually, Southern public opinion will realize that the South and the labor unions make common cause, namely, to arrest the progress of Communism—the South among Negroes, the unions among the white workers, and then Northern owners of the Southern textile mills will be constrained to make concessions to the A. F. of L, which will therefore win. After that—or even now—the Federation of Labor will issue a charter to any group of Africans which organizes itself—even to the moppers, broomers, wheel-barrowers of the textile mills. Nevertheless the Federation's spoils will have come through the Negroes as foils.

FLORIDA WOMEN'S UNIQUE DISPLAY AT TALLAHASSEE 4-H Club Women of Leon County Show Work Directed by Mrs. Poole
Tallahassee, Fla.—November 16 marked the second day of the exhibits by club women of Leon County. The exhibits demonstrated at the County Court House, beginning Friday at noon, and lasting until Saturday evening, were declared by competent judges, the best to be shown in Leon County. Under the general supervision of Mrs. Alice Poole, county demonstration agent, women of the 4-H Clubs of fourteen communities took pride in showing to the public splendid samples of the work done by them under the skillful direction of Mrs. Poole. On Friday afternoon, the exhibit room was crowded with white and colored citizens who marveled at the uniqueness of the occasion
The walls of the room were be-decked with clothing of various natures made primarily from flour sacks. Around these walls were shown twenty uses of the flower sacks; Curtains, draperies, table scarfs, napkins and a number of other things were in evidence as having been made from flour, sacks. A table in the center of the room was filled with all kinds of preserves and canned products put up by the women.
Demonstrate Unique Bedroom
Perhaps the most unique of all the exhibits was the model bedroom set up from furnishings made by the women. Crude boxes had been turned into artistic furniture and meal sacks had been transformed into draperies, curtains and table covers. This room received especial commendation from the state officials who witnessed the exhibits
Aside from the exhibit, another feature of the occasion was the program rendered on Saturday at which time Senator Hodges, A. A Turner, in charge of Negro extension work in the state, and Mrs. Virginia P. Moore, assistant state agent from the Women's College, were the principal speakers. All speakers commended Mrs. Poole highly upon her work and expressed with satisfaction their increasing interest in the work as a whole. Adding to the program very effectively was the hand from the Florida A. & M. College. The band played in front of the court house and on the inside for a brief spell of thirty-minutes.
This marks the second occasion of its nature in this county and the credit goes to Mrs. Poole for the origination of the idea and sponsoring the occasion. Mrs. Poole come from a prominent family and her friend hold her in high esteem. She is the pleaser of Mr. Kemper Herald of Atlanta, Mrs. I. Blocker of Jacksonville and Lucien H. White, editor of The New York Age

LESTER CROCKETT,
13-YEAR OLD BOY,
MISSING 2 WEEKS
Left Home To See a Boy
Friend on Nov. 10, Has
Not Been Seen Since
Police officers and detectives are making an intensive search for a 13-year old boy who walked out of his home Sunday morning. November 10, after attending church with his mother, and has not been seen or heard of since. The boy is Lester Crockett, only son of Mrs. Rosabelle Crockett, widow, of 252 West 149th street, whose husband died when Lester was just two years old. She lives in apartment 21, on the top floor.
Mrs. Crockett has been transectically following all sorts of supposed clues as to Lester's whereabouts, including the city morgue, but no trace of him has been found. She reports that he has always been well-behaved and obedient, and perfectly satisfied and happy at home. Returning from church on the morning he disappeared, he told his mother he was going down to see a boy friend who lived in the same block and that he would be back in a half-hour. That was the last she seen of him.
Lester a coupon shirt in purple tall, wore a brown suit or rough mixed goods. Brown oxford, green and white, socks to match green shirt, figured with white arrows; brown four in hand ties with white stripes; grey felt tedsora, with black band, and he wore a school pin from P. 5 in his coat lapel. He had a small hole mark on right cheek under the eye caused by removal or a wart. He light-brown skin in complex with black hair, short and curly.

Mrs. George S. Williams of Salvannah, Ga., Republican National Committee-woman from Georgia, was the guest of honor on Monday night, November 25, of the Women's Stop Lynching League of New York City, Mrs. Elnora Johnson, president, on an elaborate banquet served by members of the Trade and Commerce building 2570 Seventh avenue.
Mrs. Williams, responding to the greeting given her, gave a clear and definite statement as to her position on national politics. She denounced the present state of Republicanism in Georgia, sounding a warning to her party, declaring that the effort to put that state under hly-white Republican rule ought have a reactionary effect upon the Women of the North. She expressed her interest in the fight the women are making and declared her willingness to assist in every possible to the accommodation of their arms.
The address welcoming Mrs. Williams was made by former Assemblyman F. A. Johnson, who paid her a high tribute, and the introduction to the guests was made by Mr. Johnson, president of the League.
Presented Large Bouquet
Mrs. Eva D. Parks acted as mistress of ceremonies and was most religious in presenting the set program. Mrs. Ruth White head made an eloquent response to Mr. Williams address, and Mrs. Bessy Bearden presented the guest of honor with a beautiful bouquet on behalf of the League.
Other speakers were: Assistant United States Attorney Hubert T. Delany, Assembly-elect, Lamar Perkins, Midman Fred R Moore, Arthur V. Shomberg and Robert F. Bessy.
Mrs Rebecca Styles, Taylor of Savannah, GA, secretary of the National Federation of Colored Women's Club, was present and told interestingly of the work done by Mrs Williams in her home city and state, and emphasized the high esteem in which Mrs. Williams is held by her home folks of both races.
The table was beautifully decorated and the menu was most excellent.
Mrs Josephine Wernere, mezzo soprano, sang "The Awakening" by Rosalind Johnson, with R. Percy D'Torco at the piano, Mrs. Emma Undy sang "Love Sorrows" with Mme. Johnson as accompanist:

CITY RENT LAW VOIDED.
According to a decision of the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court, the city of New York had no power to pass the emergency rent law, which was adopted last June, to take the place of the State law which the Legislature refused to continue. This city ordinance was declared invalid on the ground that agreements between landlord and tenant are contracts over which only the legislature has jurisdiction and that the courts have not power to determine whether the rent fixed by these contracts is reasonable.
This decision will probably stand, as the parties involved in the case will not appeal or strive to carry it any further, and the city not being a party to the action cannot intervene. It is feared that this decision will work injury to many of the tenants involved, especially in Harlem, where the ladlords are bent on raising their rents to higher figures. Many of the tenants have inquired at the municipal court, as to whether they had any legal, protection against further rent raising, and were informed that under this decision there did not appear to be any. A great increase is therefore anticipated in the number of dispossess cases in this court, whereby the landlords will endeavor to get rid of those tenants who resisted efforts to increase their rents. There is said to be already two thousand of such cases monthly, and the number is expected to jump nearly double.
One of the tenants associations has signified the intention of appealing to the Governor to call an extra session of the Legislature to deal with the emergency by enacting another rent law, to take the place of the one*the city tried to pass. But it is contended that the housing emergency no longer exists, although there has been no building of cheap tenements to meet the demands of those tenants who cannot pay the present high rents. The scarcity of cheap housing which has lasted for ten years or more cannot longer be classed as an emergency, according to some authorities, because it has become a chronic condition. The only solution of the problem that can be looked for is therefore municipal construction, which at its best is slow and subject to unlooked for delays.
In the meantime the tenants are threatened with extortionate increases of their rents by some landlords, forcing them to resort to greater congestion of living to meet such demands. "The real estate owners are gratified by the decision, because" they considered the rent law deprived them of their legal rights. A wise policy would be to limit the raises to the ability of the tenants to pay, without reducing them a condition of absolute bondage to the landlord.
The problem of cheaper housing in a city like New York, where the land is continually increasing in value and building costs are always high, is not easy to solve. To furnish cheap housing it is necessary to get cheap land and low costs of construction. When these can be secured within the limits of Manhattan, there will be some hope for lower rents, either through municipal housing schemes, or some form of cooperative housing. Until then the tenant must meet the exactions of the landlord or move to cheaper sections of the city.
SERVICE IN CONGRESS.
The recent attempt to elect a representative of the Negro race to Congress from a Harlem district has brought out considerable discussion as to the service of those earlier members of the race who were elected to the National Legislature during the Reconstruction period. In an interesting letter published in the New York World of November 18, Mr. L. P. Cole took issue with the statement that Joseph H. Samey was the first Negro elected to Congress and claimed that distinction for J. H. Menard, alleging that the latter was elected to the Portieth Congress from Louisiana, and, that although he failed to get seated he drew two years' pay.
Mr. Rainey was not elected until 1871, but he served ten years, from the Forty-first to the Forty-fifth Congress, inclus-
peace to have been equalled by any other member of the race. Mr. Rainey came from South Carolina and repeated elections testify to the common sense of his constituents in returning him to Washington, as he proved an able and skilled legislator, his service as a member of the Committee on Enrolled Bills being highly commended.
Other representatives of the race who served for more than one term were: Richard H. Cain, afterward a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, South Carolina, four years; John R. Lynch of Mississippi, afterward Fourth Auditor of the Treasury and army paymaster with the rank of Major, six years; Henry P. Cheatham, James E. O'Hara, and George H. White, all of North Carolina, four years; Robert Smalls, the hero of the Planter, South Carolina, six years; Josiah T. Walls of Florida, four years; George W. Murray, South Carolina, four years.
Among those who are mentioned as serving but one term in Congress, two years, are: Robert C. DeLarge. A. J. Ransier, and Robert B. Elliott, South Carolina; Jeremiah Harajson, Alabama; John Hyman, North Carolina; John M. Langston, former minister to Haiti, who represented Virginia for one term, despite the opposition of General William Mahone then the political boss of that State; Thomas H. Miller, South Carolina; Charles E. Nash, Louisiana; James T. Rapier and Benjamin S. Turner, Alabama; Jefferson H. Long, Georgia.
In the Senate, the upper house of Congress, Mr. Coles mentioned B. K. Bruce as having served as Senator from Mississippi, 1875 to 1881, when he was appointed Register of the Treasury. Mr. Coles omitted to state, however, that the first Negro Senator from Mississippi was Hiram R. Revels, who took his seat in February 1870, as the successor to Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy having resigned when Mississippi passed her ordinance of secession. During this decade the Rebellion had run its course and a Negro was elected to take the place vacated by Davis; so the distinction of being the first man of the race elected to Congress would seem to belong to Revels, who was also a preacher of the African Methodist Church, Colonel George W. Williams, in his valuable History of the Negro Race, stated that he was present when Senator Revels was sworn in and took his seat. P. B. S. Pinchback was elected several years later as a Senator from Louisiana, but his election was contested and he failed to get seated until the expiration of his term.
The men of the race sent to Congress in the days of Reconstruction were intelligent and capable of filling the roles assigned them as legislators. Many of them proved this fact in their later careers, when the collapse of Republicanism in the South forced them into other lines of activity.
ELECTION TO LOCAL OFFICE.
A significant feature of the municipal and state elections this year was the number of Negroes elected to local offices and state legislatures in the North. In the course of an article in the New York World of last Sunday, referring to the election of Mrs. Mary B. Martin as a member of the Cleveland Board of Education, Lester A. Walton emphasized this increasing disposition to accord the race representation in local politics. In Cleveland, besides the election of Mrs. Martin, three men of the race were chosen as City Councilmen.
Throughout the North examples were furnished of the election of Negroes to local offices. At Miles Heights, Ohio, Arthur R Johnston was elected mayor after a lively contest, in which his opponents were white, he being the only Negro mayor, so far as is known, in the Buckeye State. It was his first campaign for mayoralty honors, he having been elevated to that office while president of the council, upon the death of the former incumbent. In New Haven, Conn., Alfred Modeste was chosen as a member of the Board of Aldermen. Jesse R. Taylor was elected to the City Council of Buffalo, N. Y., from the Twentythird ward.
In New Jersey the ancient office of coroner was won by F. Leon Harris of Asbury Park, who is both an undertaker and an artist. He will now officiate as Coroner of Monmouth county. In the same state Dr. Frank S. Hargrove of Orange was sent to the Assembly, thus assuring continued representation in the lower branch of the State Legislature. Detroit, in the state of Michigan, which has experienced a great influx of Southern immigration of both races within the past few years, will have four Negro constables, who are expected to find their duties no sincerely.
Alleged brutality on the part of the police formed an issue in the Detroit
municipal campaign and the Negro voters generally supported Charles Bowles for mayor, as he had promised to remove the Police, Commissioner who was held responsible for the brutal treatment of Negroes. Near the close of the campaign the forms of a Negro weekly were stolen and two hundred thousand copies of its issue were said to have been printed and distributed among white voters, the object being, to show the mutual admiration. Bowles and the colored voters had for each other.
As a political trick it comes to have had a boomerang effect, as Bowles was elected mayor and the colored voters have their four constables.
Altogether, this increasing tendency to nominate and elect Negroes to local offices in the North is a practical demonstration of true democracy. It shows a popular acceptance of the theory that the right to vote carries with it the right to hold office. Acting on this principle, the colored voters have sought representation in the political office and party conventions, and the electors at large have in many cases accorded that representation in the spirit of fair play which underlies American institutions. Let us hope that this spirit will prevail-more-generally in the future.
FREAKS OF LAWLESSNESS.
to emphasize the fact that lynching was not a thing of the past, but merely lynching occurred at times or at least kept out of the Associated Press dispatches, the place of a backwoods town in Florida state a performance of this sort with a same old pretext. The victim, a black man of course, was taken from the bed and killed in the usual barbarous fashion before an admiring mob of white men and children. As a variation from Texas, had for its victim a white man, known as the 'Christmas band', who was hanged by a mob for shooting the officer of the law, with the usual companiments.
To show that the crime of rape is likely confined to black criminals, but often practiced by whites under a campaged covering, a story comes from Nak, Va., in which the white woman muted was honest enough to state though her assailant had a black man she tore his shirt she saw that body was white. He then knocked the conscious and made his escape. For the tearing of his shirt, another assault would have been charged against some unknown black man, as the whole community made to suffer.
A fake electric chair was reported during part of the equipment of the Shoah's office in Helena, Ark, where it was to obtain confessions from prison accused of crime. The case that brought to light was that of a Negro, who to the judge that it was used to force him to confess the killing of his six-year-old son. This prisoner was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. The chair was brought into court during a trial and the judge ordered it destroy. The prisoner described the torture and undergone in this chair and said he confessed to choking the boy to death that the officers would turn off the current when the pain became unbearable then signed a confession, so he would not be put in the chair again. Judy Davenport denounced the use of such device as uncivilized and added, "if the people are going to be mobbed before coming up here, there is no use of him having a court." The testimony concerns the use of the chair is to be used in appeal, according to the attorney for the prisoner.
These are some of the freaks of law business practiced by the mob and the no are supposed to enforce the law.
To emphasize the fact that lynching is not a thing of the past, but merely lying dormant at times or at least kept out on the Associated Press dispatches, the people of a backwoods town in Florida staged a performance of this sort with the same old pretext. The victim, a black man of course, was taken from the jail and killed in the usual barbarous fashion before an admiring mob of white men, women and children. As a variation from this mob murder, the next one, reported from Texas, had for its victim a white man, known as the "Christmas bandit," who was hanged by a mob for shooting an officer of the law, with the usual accompaniments.
To show that the crime of rape is not solely confined to black criminals, but is often practiced by whites under a camouflaged covering, a story comes from Norfolk, Va., in which the white woman assaulted was honest enough to state that although her assailant, had a black face, when she tore his shirt she saw that his body was white. He then knocked her unconscious and made his escape. But for the tearing of his shirt, another case of assault would have been charged against some unknown black man, and the whole community made to suffer for it.

The confirmation of the appointment of Hon. Walter E. Edge, as Ambassador to France, was followed by the appointment of David Baird, Jr., to the place who is expected to take his place as Senator from New Jersey at the opening of the regular session, December 2.
At the same time it was announced from Raritan, N. J., that former United States Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen had formally thrown his hat in the ring as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Senator. Mr. Frelinghuysen acquitted himself in the Senate some years ago with credit and distinction and the voters of his state could not find an abler representative to send to that body. An earnest advocate of education, he has devoted considerable of his time, ability and means to that cause. He has always proved a staunch champion of human rights, favoring the enactment of anti-burning legislation, when that subject was under fire in the Senate. The candidacy of Mr. Frelinghuysen is in every way worthy of support.

The opinions or theories advanced are those of the writer, and are not to be considered as reflecting the policy of The New York Age. The Editor also reserves the right to "cut down" letters that he considers of undue length.
Editor of The New York Times Newspapers have recently been full of stories about lobbies and todays at our national capital. It has been revealed that Mr. Shearer through his efforts, greatly enriched the shipbuilding interests; that Mr. Grundy has for a quarter century labored to protect the blasted corporations of Pennsylvania; that Mr. Eyanson, thanks to the efforts of Senator Bingham, has practically dictated the new tariff rates on commodities manufactured by his employers in the Nutmeg State, while Mr. William Burgess, representing the United States Pottery Association, has been so diligent in trying to keep a high tariff on imported chinaware that he has brought upon himself the censure of the Senate.
Lobbyists are paid representatives of industries or groups stationed at strategic legislative points to further the interests of their employers. There is nothing sinister about their work unless it is hidde from the public. They are often of valuable assistance to the legislators and the public because a private interest frequently becomes a public one. I wonder how many Negroes have considered the necessity for lobbyists for the colored people of this country. Certainly we need them as much as the hundreds of corporations and industries do. And we need them far more urgently than do the Metodist Church, the Ku Klux Klan, the Phrobitionists and the advocates of "blue" Sundays.
More than any other group in this country we need to watch our 49 legislatures and see that no legislation inimical to our interests is introduced. We need trained lobbyists to keep burning brightly the fires of opposition to Negrophobism. We need an anti-lynching law; we need to prevent, if possible, the passage of any more discriminatory legislation whether affecting labor, education or marriage; and to work for the repeal of that already in force; we need civil rights laws in many more of the States and we need to see that they are enforced; we need to end the discrimination against Negro children in the distribution of Land Grant, Smith-Hughes, Smith-Lewer, and other school funds. We need I repeat, a trained propagandist in Washington, D. C., and at every state capital. The cradle of laws is the legislator. Unless we are alert and make our power felt, when these laws are being born, we need not register surprise when we discover that they are inimical to our interests. Remember, it's the fellow who yells loudest that gets the most attention
The cost of such a powerful lobby would not exceed $500,000 a year, or less than 5 cents a year from every Negro man, woman and child 10 is certain that Negroes who can afford to travel to football "classics", attend fraternal and church conventions, and spend $50 or $60 a year getting their hair done can afford a nickel, or even a dollar for the defense of their interests. So far this task has been felt to the few thousand Negroes who support the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It has been efficiently done considering the meagre amount of money contributed, but it has only scratched the surface. It is a national organization with a fighting leadership, and even its severest critics (and I'm among them) will not say that it hasn't given the Negroes their money's worth. A group of ten million people can't expect much for seventy or eighty thousand dollars
Negroes don't need any new organizations; they only need to support and modernize those they have. But it seems as if they are loath to support anybody except dance hall proprietors, patent medicine vendor skin whiteners, "numbers" bankers, and the like. And then, when trouble looms on the horizon, they demand that the N. A. A. C. P., or some such organization defend them. This haltinspo and晕police policy of group defense must make way for a well-organized and constant policy of informed aggressiveness at strategic points. This calls for a lot of money but only a little from each person. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could put it over?
I don't expect the majority of Negroes to be interested in this matter...I've been a Negro a long time and I know the tribe I am appealing, rather, to the half million enlightened minority that boast of its intelligence, its education and its group patriotism. If every member of this intelligent minority would give the N. A. A. C. P. a Christmas present of a dollar membership, we could have a trained lobbyist in every capital, state and national who might be able to accomplish as much for us as Shearer did for the armament manufacturers.
A Vital Church Need
Editor of The New York Age:
I must take this opportunity through your kind favor to join issue with Rev. A. Clayton Powell in his sound sermon of recent date. In 1920 I was assistant rector of a church in this city, but by not discerning sufficient holiness in the general ministry here, I decided to do missionary work in dark and barbarous Cuba.
The Ethiopian people in America are afforded the best opportunities in the world by their government to do great and noble things and if they would but use proper methods, they can accomplish the task of a most useful government in comparison to that of Ethiopian, when Me Quada ruled as queen.
If our pulpits and congregations adopt and practise the methods of truth, principle, self-respect and respect for one another, who shall be able to humiliate us? We are the most suitable people for God's work because we belong to that group of the human family from which "Melchizedek" sprang
The work of the so called christian church in the Caribbean sea has accomplished a regrettable task among the Ethiopians; that is the establishment of the ignoble qualities of hatred and disrespect for each other, hence Ethiopian people never feel satisfied, when they see one of their own kind in the pulpit, in almost every island, especially so in Barbados and until Ethiopians, everywhere, learn to love and respect their ambitious and religious talents and the strong learn to assist the weak as the white powers are doing for Belgium and Holland, all verbose sermons will only be sounding symbols to hinder the victory of the world for God.
Then in this state of affairs, ninety-nine percent of the pulpits will be filled by blind guides, leading blind congregations to ruin and as long as discrimination is in vogue, the kingdom of God will never be established among men. But if both races correct themselves then we shall all be citizens of God's Kingdom, forthwith, and cease to repeat in the Lord's prayer, "Thy Kingdom come"

An Open Letter Bishop H. Blanton Parks
Bishop H. Blanton Parks.
My dear Bishop Parks:
I am writing to draw your attention to the extreme embarrassment to which the membership of the A. M. E Church in this city, the Fourth Episcopal District, and throughout the nation, are placed because of the indictment of Bishop A. J. Carey for alleged acceptance of bribes in his office as City Civil Service Commissioner.
This matter, for which he is indicted, has been a subject for street gossip for many months, and it seems that an investigating committee on behalf of the church would be welcomed by the lay members at least. There is an item in the daily papers two or three times a week concerning it, and the A. M. E Church in this section is becoming a laughing stock and a by-word for the rank and file of the people.
As a member of the oldest church in the city, a graduate on Wilberforce University, and a lover of honesty and decency, I bag you to take some stops to demonstrate that we are not unmindful of the high qualifications required for the office of bishop; that we
COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON THE SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS
Referring to President Hoover's plea for peace, made in his speech on Armistice Day, the Washington Tribune raised these pertinent points:
Of great value if the peace of the world to the Negro in the United States who is killed with fear, to teach the President referred several lessons on the basis for future war! He is fearful for the safety of his life against lying white women who can at any hour of the day or night have a Negro mobbed. He is fearful of his property which may be swept away and no returns made as in Tulsa, Okla. He is fearful of his liberty at all times for he is cast into prison on the filmmist pretense, not to mention "charge." He is deprived of his franchise by the very President who so ardently advocated peace Monday night. Therefore the peace of the world is overshadowed by the peace of the Negro desired at home.
Why should not smaller nations feel leary of the United States when they read 'of its treatment of the Negro at home and the American prejudice carried abroad? Have they not heard of Haiti, the Virgin Islands, Venezuela? The American Navy has killed, crippled and powered the Haitians and bled its government of many needed millions of dollars. Citizenship has been denied inhabitation since they were purchased from Denmark. How can President Hoover advocate world peace with so much suppression at home and in the Islands dominated by this government? He should speak from example and "not simply on theory."
Ferhaps one theory of world peace is intended to work on the assumption of peaceful penetration, following the course of international agreements into the lines of internal policies. Of course it is much easier to correct the faults of outsiders than to amend one's own failings.
Negro art has seemingly penetrated to the far corners of this country, as was shown by the following news item taken from the Portland, Oregon, Advocates.
Sherman Clay & Company's music store contains an art exhibit of Mrs. U. D. Cannady. There is a fireplace screen of three panels being a reproduction of Aaron Douglass' purification of his conceptions of (panel No. 1) "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," Negro Spiritual: (Panel No. 2) "Creation," Negro sermon, (Panel No. 3), "The Judgement," Negro sermon. The car so were copied from "God's Triomboes," a collection of Negro sermons written in a blank were by James Weldon Johnson, well known author and poet of New York City. Aaron Douglass, artist, is futuristic art A magazine rack with an African design copied from "Opportunity" magazine, another of Douglass' drawings, together with books and music complete the exhibit. Mrs. Cannady did all of the art work with black and white Jesse clav. The exhibit is drawing wide attention.
The author of this exhibit, Mrs. Cannady, is also the associate editor and manager of the *Adovocate*, a weekly race publication.
Exulting over the defeat of the coalition of anti-Smith Democrats and Lilywhite Republicanans in the recent Virginia election, the St. Luke Herald of Richmond said.
There was a great deal more back of this election than the making choice of a chief Executive of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Political highways and gangmen had held their wicked councils in the earshot of President Hoover looking on approvingly. They had planned to show the President of the United States how he could break down the Solid South. He was told that he could do it by ruling Negroes out
are law abiding citizens on the whole; and that the endeavor of the city officials to lift the municipality from the orgy of bribers, gambling, vice and murder, at least has our respect. I think we should recognize their effort, and mitigate the embarrassment of the people by relieving Bishop Carey of his Episcopal duties.
We have no place to look except to you; the rank and file of the people are looking forward to your honest effort as the senior Bishop and recognized leader to keep the church clear of such a shameful situation as has developed here. We shall greatly appreciate some kind of gesture on your part to show to the world that we have not entirely forgotten our Christian training, nor lost our moral equilibrium.
Most respectfully yours.

Chicago, Ill.
Light, when wisely used, can do much to increase trade, produce better workmanship in factories and advance industry in general, according to Dr. Jullus Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, in a recent address. Loss of time and money occasioned by the returning of purchased goods by customers can also be thereby decreased by proper illumination, says Dr. Klein.
Saturday, November 30.
of order in Southern politics, only needed to have the Lily. White crowd and disgruntled Democrats to unite their forces. Then he could kick the seat out of the Negro pants. He would not need to give them any mind on either side of the Mason and Dixon line. Not because President Hoover thought less of Negroes. This was the necessary course of strategy of Statesman and sheer Political Expedient. Boot the Negroes out of the party and, break up the Solid South was the war-cry of those who now lie on their bellies licking the dust of deserved disappointment and failure. The Administration advisers are wiser men today. They know, we have said before, you can't bully the South. Southern people are fools. The South will remain, for a few more generations, a democratic unity.
Like, most political prophecies the conclusion of the Richmond colonator is subject to reversal by unforeseen elements. Democratic units has already lasted too long for the good of the South and the Nation.
The. Atlanta Independent printed a letter from Col. O. M. Duke of Florilla, Ga., condemning the leasing of Federal prisoners in the following terms:
There is a section of the revised statutes of the U. S. allowing the U. S. Judges to sentence to hard labor in the state penitentiaries. This is of doubtful constitutionality. The point at present is, the colored men in the Atlanta Penitentiary were not sentenced to hard labor in the Georgia Penitentiaries they were sentenced to serve in a Federal pen. Some of the sentences are to the Atlanta Pen.
The sentence would not authorize their transfer to the public roads of Chatham County. If they are so transferred habeas corpus would lie. If this is done it should be tested in the courts.
Press the legal argument. They were not sentenced to hard labor upon the public roads of the State of Georgia and the cruel and unrace against Madden here in Chicago in order to divert votes from the colored candidate. New York will awaken and go to the polls and register, and victory is not far off, but in the meantime it seems entirely out to raid Chicago citizens to attempt to raid New Yorkers. Chicago is not so alert and alive as outsiders would imagine. It is sarcary at times virtually to "whip the pyramids out of its muscles" before it will act. Now is no time to cart aspersions on the Metropolis, there remains too much to be done right here.
That is a timely and just rebuke to the donors of the notorious raspberry. As predicted, New York will have its Congressman when all the people who should be interested get behind the movement.
Editor Dabney thinks that "the Negro here is treading on dangerous ground," and warns against "gentlemen's agreements" to eliminate the Negro.
Deprecating somewhat the tendency of Chicagoans for "razing New York," over the defeat of Hubert Delany for Congress, the Chicago Whip said:
The grim specter of death put our own representative in Congress and if Mr. Madden had lived we firmly hold to the belief that we would still be taxed without representation Our own leaders absolutely refused to support one of their own and the last time a member of our race opposed Mr. Madden he beaten almost as badly as Mr. Delaney was Some of Chicago's greatness has been thrust upon it and there are almost as many so-called conservatives here as in New York. A very well advertised "race leader" allowed himself to be put in the last As an aftermath of the recent municipal election in Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Union suggested "The Way to Win" in the following article on its first page:
We have been following the hit or miss methods of campaigning with our candidates. The logical way to win is to divide the colored part of the city into districts, have branch organizations in and select executives from each district Hold a convention Select the best man for elective office, not somebody just because he is colored and belongs to your church or lodge! Have him enderced by either or both parties, else run him independent. The right kind of organization will furnish the money and get the people to register. You will then have a real candidate. Just because some man wants to run is no reason for the tree bearing the burden of his defat and being charged with disloyalty 'for not supporting him. White people put up their best.' We must do the same if we would compete with them successfully.

If the President approves this he will have to renounce all of his humanitarian principles.
That is a pretty strong indictment of the horrors of the Georgia claim gang from the one who should know whereof he speaks. Col Duke also suggested that the State central committee be called upon to denounce the attempt to turn Federal prisoners over to the county authorities.

Kid Chocolate Earns Over $124,000 Boxing In N. Y. In Little Over Year
From The New York Journal
BY HYPD ICOE
When Kid Chocolate came here
in late a year ago from His
home, his manager, Louis Gatierre,
a rookie in paper writer, went
the rounds of the little clubs to
one to one match or the little
yellow.
He had over a card on Kid
Chocolate and in desperation, Gatierre
did briefly accepted a match at
theelled total. The Kid got $10
for the bout and actually drew
down three dollars in cash after
he had paid his seconds, settled for
his official tights and one thing,
another.
That right made the bad. The name rebounded even from that distance and then the promoters and matchmakers, who had been turning him down were ripping the shirts off therebacks in an effort to have a new box office attraction. Just a few months ago Chocolate down $4,500 for his bout with M Singen in the ball park. After each night he sent his money home to mother and in all she has received and banked $124,000.
His is a banker, a success, a comedian. We put in his room in a big apartment which he shares with his stablemates, trainer, rubber and manager in One Hundred and eleventh Street, off eighth Avenue.
He had just come up from slumberland. He was wearing a suit of bright silk pajamas with brilliant orange trimming. Proud his sleek, straight hair, I had worn a funny little night cap to bed that his looks might not be
emptied to go back to I don't do
for the night
When the Kecil says the
whole room lights up. I told
some true ambition to make
$10,000 so that he could be
wealthy.
"I thought that was all the
money there was in the world"
sand the Kecil. "I never dreamed
that some day I'd be sending home
$21,000 to my mother. Now I
want to make and keep $500,000
and I do it."
I have late was trying to tell me all this in broken English, for he talks Spanish. His litle rubber. Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! was doing most of the translation, back and forth. There was a time that the place didn't know what we were talking about. That's how last he is picking up the English, though he is making no especial effort to learn it properly. But he likes us and is coming here to live when he gets married—which he says will be next year.

The running of Burnell brought this team from behind to defeat the teams representing the Medical Corp and the First Battalion.

delphia, Pa.
Carlton basketball followers were treated to one of the most exciting games of the season on Saturday, November 23, when the Y. M. D. Juniors, emerged victorious by two points in their game with St. Philip's Sunday School, Team.
It was a game never to be forgotten. St. Phillip's playing her first important game in the Intermediate division, gave the Carlton team a hard game right from the start. The Young Men's Team, slow, getting started, displayed some of the old form of last year. Fast floor, world and a keen eye for the basket on the part of Hawkins and Bryan of St. Phillip's, during the first half gave them a four-point lead. The first five to take the floor for Carlton Johnson, Haris, Robertson, Smith and Hinds, played a five game but lacked the scoring punch. The second half was most exciting neither team being able to hold more than a two point lead. A shift in players, bringing Hinds to center, with Collins at guard, Wallace and Smith at forward proved very effective. The house was brought to its feet many times when either team succeeded in brilliant plays resulting in a score. It was a beautiful game. Both teams deserve a hand for their efforts. Final score Carlton 29- St. Phillip's 27.
Only Bluefield of West Virginia stands between Tuskegee and the mythical title of 1929 national champions. 'Alabama State put up a stubborn resistance for the full 60 minutes, but Tuskegee outrushed, outpassed and outclassed the Hornets, displaying a versatile and crushing attack behind magnificent blocking. Coach Abbor used plenty of substitutes during the game and found that his second eleven was able to outgain the local outfit. The Teachers played a hard, spirited game of football but they were unable to cope with the stream of reserves that Tuskegee poured on the field.
The Cadet shot: troops took the field to open the game. They got a break early in the game when McKinney recovered-Lewis' fumbled print on the 20 yard line. McCarthy got 12 yards of tackle. On the next play Anderson stopped him for a seven yard loss. A 15 yard penalty for holding set them back to the 30 yard line. Alexander intercepted Wooldridge's pass on his own 15 yard line. Lewis punted 50 yards and Tuskegee started another march Normal Holds Near Goal
They rushed the ball back again and the Hormats checked the march again on the 20 yard line. Lewis was in the clear but slipped and lost 10 yards. He punted 55 yards on the next play
Coach Abbott sent in his first team to start the second period and Stevenson opened up with both barrels. It was only a matter of time before the Tigers scored after that. Runs 1. Stevenson and Harrison, his running mate, pushed the ball to the 10 yard line. There the Hornet line stiffened, so Harrison dropped back and heaved a pass to Stevenson, who trotted over the line unmolested. His kick for the extra point was blocked.
A partially blocked punt gave Tukegee the ball on Alabama State's 50 yard line, later in the period. Drives through the line carried the ball to the one-yard line, where Stevenson took it over on a double pass. He kicked goal.
The Tuskegee Band of 72 pieces paraded the field during the intermission at halves. The Alabama State Marching Club and Band also maneuvered about the filed in well drilled order.
Coger Recovera Pumble.
The Tigers, opened up another drive in the second half that was checked when Coger fell on Shanklin's fumble on the 10 yard line. The Teachers were still lighting hard and halted the Tuskegee advance during most of the period. Near the end of the stanza, however, the Hornets took the ball, Lewis attempted a pass that dropped into Harrison's arms. The Tiger haliback, who looks just as good as All-American Stevenson, dashed 50 yards for the treed and final score. Stevenson kicked goal.
The Hornets fought on more even terms after this Many Cadet reserves came in. The Teachers were still fighting to hold the score down and punted early. The remainder of the battle was fought in midfield, with neither team showing to advantage. Overseer the local school's All-American guard, was the outstanding lineman on the field. He was in almost every play and tackled hard and surely Stevenson and Harrington were the big shots for the Tigers in offence play. Duncan, Champion, McKinney and Beleher still wills in the line.
Jaine Crippen, 34, well-known singer, and actress, died at the Skim and Cancer Hospital Monday morning, November 23, after an illness of several months. Miss Crippen's last appearance was with Bubie Blake in February of this year. She won fame several years ago as a "blues" singer and had played many of the leading theatres of this country and Europe.
The late Miss Crippen was a native of Philadelphia, where the body was taken by her husband, Lou Henry, a well known musician and orchestra director, for burial or Tuesday. The deceased is also survived by two brothers.

At The Lafayette Theatre
Three of the most enterprising Harlem producers combined to produce this week's show at the Lafayette Theatre. They are, Leonard Harper, Addison Carey and Charlie Davis. The result of their efforts is as delightful a revue as one would want to see. It is called "Adam and Eve in Harlem".
The star of the show is "Pegleg" Bates, the wonderful onelegged dancer, who was the sensation of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" and who just finished one of the most successful engagements ever enjoyed by an single artist at the Palace Theatre on Broadway. Some two years have passed since this marvelous entertainer received his first ovation at the Lafayette Theatre, after some of the greatest entertainers on the American stage.
Others in the cast of "Adam and Eve, in Harlem" are The Three Palmer Brothers, John Mason, Johnnie Alexander, Jackie Mabley, Gallie de Gaston. All of these performers appear in new material - better and faster than ever before. Addison Carey's famous chorus has also been retained for this week's show. Their new dances, stopped the show at every performance.
The photoplay program being presented with "Adam and Eve in Harlem" is the all-talking Vitaphone melodramat "Shanghai Lady." Mary Nolan, James Murray, Wheeler Oakman and Atters Randolph are the featured players in this stirring story of a girl of the streets and dens of China who fights her way up from the gutter. "Shanghai Lady" played on Broadway for three weeks and is one of the taking picture hits of the season.

WEDNESDAY
The cold sleetty rain of Sunday afternoon was responsible, perhaps, for the fact that the auditorium of the Harriet Beecher Stowe Girls' Junior High School at 135th street and Edgecombe avenue was not filled to capacity for the third monthly free concert by the Monarch Symphony Band, Lieut, Fred W. Simpson, conductor, but it did not prevent a splendid audience of music-lovers from being present.
And those who braved the inclement weather were amply repaid for doing so, as the plendid organization played a program of unusual interest in a manner such as has not been excelled by any previous rendition.
The piece de resistance proved to be the Offenbach Overture, "Orpheus in der Unterwelt" ("Orpheus in Hades"), and under Lieut, Simpson's baton, the strange and mystical experiences of the Greek poet, "Orpheus", who descended into Hejl seeking the spirit of his dead wife, were brought out with magic, beauty. Through all the episodic changes used by the composer in his vividly descriptive narrative of the poet's despairing and desperate travail of spirit, the musicians followed their conductor's interpretation with inspired fidelity.
Another ensemble rendition of striking beauty was that of a Fantasia on themes from the gypsy opera, "Bohemian Girl," by Balfe, the hard arrangement being made by Lieut. Simpson himself. In this rendition, Lieut. Simpson made intriguing use of the oboe and bassoon in contrapuntal and supporting passages wherein the cornet, played in masterly song by Herbert Finlay, gave forth the themes in those old, yet ever beautiful favorite songs, "I dreamt I dwelt in Marble Halls" and "When you'll remember me."
The audience was held in rapt enjoyment as the strains of "Heart bowed down," "The Gypsy's life," "Come with the Gypsy Bride," and other familiar arcs from this beautiful opera surged out from the instruments.
The instrumental soloist as programmed was Herbert Finlay, who laid aside his trumpet for the afternoon and took up his B flat cornet for the playing of one of Herbert Clark's most taxing and difficult cornet solos, the "Debuante." From the opening strain to the last, the member called for technical skill of the most developed degree phrase after phrase in triple tonguing, requiring the most dexterous hearing, were given in the most brilliant manner and with such surety interpretation as to cause one almost to lose sight of the tremendous strain put upon the soloist. He was supported, for the most part, in fine style by the band, but there were one or two lapses on part of the ensemble that might have disconcerted a less skillful player.
An added number brought Frank Robinson, bass saxophonist, who showed almost uncanny skill in the mastery of his cumbersome instrument, playing the "St Louis Blues" by Hand, with band accompaniment, with a tactility that might well be enjoyed by mists who persevered upon the smaller and more flexible saxophones. He had to respond to an encore.
The vocal solist was Miss Dayse Regina Harding, soprano, who has been made an honorary member of the band, and who had been heard before in the band concerts. Miss Harding sang "Dreaming in twilight" by Moore, with a band accompaniment arranged by Icaut Simpson. She sang in splendid style and had to repeat a part of the song.
The concluding number of the band's offerings was, as usual, a descriptive number, and this took the form of the tune made famous by the Negro troops in their triumphant on rush up to the Spanish fort on San Juan Hill in Cuba in 1898. "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight." The theme of the song was given with a great variety of harmonic backgrounds, the strain running through chorale, jazz, semeled, hymn, waltz, march and other settings, with the audience being convulsed as the band simulated the striving to play of a green amateur brass band.
Other numbers were Pryor's march, "Arms of America," a Serenade by Toselli, a fox trot, "Jericho," by Harms, and concert walker, Alpine Sunset, by King, "The Star Spargled Banner" and "Auld Lang Syne" were the salutation and finale, respectively, in accordance with the hand's custom.
Dr Lawrence J Daxenport, the erudite master of ceremonies gave a special word of welcome to Daughters of Intimile Temple, No 77 and have to Monarch Lodge, who were guests of honor, and to a number of Brooklyn friends who had come over for the concert. He also introduced Alderman Fred R Moore, extending to him for the band membership, for the Monarch Lodge and for the audience, congratulations upon his triumph in the November elections. Mr Moore is spared with a strong talk, in which he emphasized his purpose to continue working for the good of the race in Harlem, and of his intention to use every proper means for benefit to his constituents.

Rent Law Will Not Mean
Purchased Harlem Rent
laws, said one owner, is that it will allow the lamblord to quickly get rid of any undesirable tenants. While the laws are operative, he said, he had numerous complaints from the tenants of one large apartment house about the conduct and behavior of the tenant on a certain floor of the apartment. This man, said the owner, was undesirable in every respect, and yet could not be ousted. Even though the apartment had been raided several times, yet the tenant still was allowed by court to remain because there had been no conviction growing out of any of the raids. Now that the law no longer is valid, this particular owner says he will raise the rent of this undesirable tenant, get rid of him, and will tenant the vacant apartment with desirable and respectable people.
Another real estate man said that fixer would be a downward trend in prices rather than an increase, because vacant apartments mean a dead loss to the owner.
Increased Overhead Cost
"Colored tenants increase the cost of operation of an apartment house at the same time depreciating the value of the house," said another reactor. Explaining this he said that in the first place the apartmen houses in Harlem were not built for the wear and tear given them by some colored tenants. Apartments built for three in a family, he said further, "could not be expected to hold seven or eight people, without an increase in the cost of operation and maintenance."
There's a strain on the steam plant, he said, making it necessary for the owner to expend more money in repairs than under ordinary conditions. Then again, colored tenants move often, and the expense on the part of owners is so great it repairs that in the long run it is the tenants who do the paying in increased rent.
The average rental in Harlem in old-dairy, railroad apartments, is $9 to $9 per room, for new-law, walk-in apartments $10 to $12 per room, and for elevator apartments, $14 and

(As Observed by Joseph Whitley, 25-Year Pullman Porter) The main business of the Pullman Company, as most of us know, it is the building of railway cars and the operating of certain types of these cars. It builds, for example, every known type of car used by a railroad in the operation of its business. It even builds cars for the transportation systems of such cities as New York, Chicago, Boston and other large municipalities. As a manufacturer, therefore, or railway cars the company is America's foremost builder.
Popularity Due to Four Factors
But, as we all know, or most of us, as operate all the cars it builds; it only operate main. These are of five distinct types, tourist cars (seldom seen in the East), stair parlor or chair cars and private cars, types of cars that assure the traveller a duty and service which is not obtainable hence their, popularly.
But of these four elements in operator element most stressed by the operator.
But, as we all know, or most of us, anyway, the company does not operate all the cars it builds; it only operates: those cars that bear its nailer. These are of five distinct types, and, classified, are known tourist cars (sidem seen in the East), standard sleeping cars, club cars, parlor or chair cars and private cars. The four last-named are the types of cars that assure the traveller a degree of comfort, ease, privacy and service which is not obtainable in ordinary railroad cars, hence their popularity.
But of these four elements in operation, service to the patron is the element most stressed by the operator.
Service The Shibboleth
Service, in fact, is the operating stabilization. This is necessary for it is on the organization enters into definite contract. Lase, comfort and privacy are also are to a certain degree conditional, on the patrons' feelings and sense of these which head, after all, the three elements that promise. Therefore, there is a certain service which the contractor must at all to impress upon the car employee the instructions are given him regarding what a member of the organization. In actions is found this passage from the Pulls 'The reputation of the service dependency of employees as upon the facilitation for the comfort of its patrons; it is important in their intercourse with passengers to alert to anticipate their wants in using orders.'
Service, in fact, is the operating shibboleth of the Pullman organization. This is necessary for it is the one element of operation which the organization enters into definite contract with the patron to furnish. Lase, comfort and privacy are also promised, but these constituents are to a certain degree conditional, depending in a large measure on the patrons' feelings and sense of these things. But service, under which head, after all, the three elements can be grouped, is a contractual promise. Therefore, there is a certain standard of efficiency in service which the contractor must at all times maintain.
To impress upon the car employee the importance of this, constant instructions are given him regarding what he must do, if he would remain a member of the organization. In connection with these instructions is found this passage from the Pullman book of rules.
"The reputation of the service depends as much upon the efficiency of employees as upon the facilities provided by the company for the comfort of its patrons; it is imperative, therefore, that employ-ment on their intercourse with passengers be obliging and courteous at- alert to anticipate their wants and diligent and cheerful in using orders."
Problems Not Solved By Wages Alone
Therefore, it will readily be understood that on has to deal with problems of service, not to be solved by wages and working curing that these are factors to be consider offered for their solution.
Other phases of the service problem articles.
Therefore, it will readily be understood why the Pullman organization has to deal with problems of service, and why these problems are not to be solved by wages and working conditions alone, notwithstanding that these are factors to be considered in whatever remedies are offered for their solution.
Other phases of the service problem will be discussed in future articles.
Mott Haven Yard News
In calling attention to the Safety First movement among Pullman employees, and the interest taken in this movement by Porter G. D. Snioik, of the Los Angeles district, at the 18th annual congress of the National Safety Council, The Age in its last week's issue, struck the right note on the recognition given the Negro employee by the Pullman organization.
The comments, which were under the heading of "Pullman Porters For Safety," were a straightforward statement of the part the Pullman organization plays in the economic and material progress of the Negro; but these comments were also a reminder that there was room for improvement in the industrial relationship between the organization and its Negro employees.
Sane and temperate reminders of that sort, with the fairness of giving praise where praise is due, will do much toward proving to the management of this well known organization that its good points are not overlooked entirely.
Speaking of the Negro in the Pullman organization, there is one who comes to mind now. He is R. L. Ballard, of the Mott Haven Civil force. Ballard, who is a young man, is a signout clerk in the office of Superintendent (C. C. Logan at Mott Haven Yards. Postal intelligent and always attentive to the duties of his position, R. promotion in the service is bound to come. This may not happen next month nor next year, but it essentially will come.
Lester "Steve" Hutchinson is best at work, running between New York and Springfield, speaking about your comebacks. Steve made one of the greatest a man can make. Last year this nine none of his fellow work is expected to see him on a Pullman car again. They all were saying, "It's too bad about Steve." Distance of a usually fatal nature had him in a grasp, but Hutchinson proved that where there is a will there is a way. Hence his return to the service.

Bertie County, N. C.
By JAMES E. BOND
One of the fundamental principles for the progress of the people of a community is the reading of good literature.
Good literature is as necessary in the homes, churches and schools of a community as are the paths and public highways by which we travel to and from a point. This literature serves as a guide and public instructor and unfolds its valuable treasures to all who will open and read; thus causing them to know what has been done, is being done and is going to be done.
The present day reading public has no trouble in keeping up in the great race of life. Modern literature offers a payment double fold for the time spent in reading a good book, magazine or newspaper. Thus literature helps greatly in the prevention of crime and all dishonest acts and permits peace and union. It is the result of an endeavor to provide genuine instruction and guidance for the individual who finds difficulty in keeping up with what is going on.
In my humble opinion, one of the chief aims of any editor is to sell his paper and supply the public with what it needs. It cannot be denied that the press is a very useful factor in the daily life and in the education of the nation.

Railroad Man Was in Misery
"I was a sick man—could hardly go to work at all," says Mr. Chas. E. Parker, of Charleston, Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath.
"My back rushed and I could not stay in bed with any case.
Any way I turned I was in misery.
"I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up till I took a package. I was then able to go to my work. I am a tailorader and my work is hard.
"I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I'm 62 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught. I give it to my nieces for colds and to stomach troubles and it helps them. It helps dizziness and had tastio in the mouth—an all "bound good medicine."

Hazel Potter Broke Relations With Him and He Stabbed Her to Death
One of the most brutal murders to occur in Harlem in recent years was enacted in the apartment of Cercinef Valdes, 38 of 200 West 140th street late Saturday night, November 23. According to neighbors, Valdes and Mias Hazel Lillan Potter, 30 of 142 West 143rd street, had been living together as man and wife for several months. Recently Miss Williams attempted to break off her relations with Valdes.
The two met on the street Saturday night and the woman was invited to the Valdes department ostensibly to effect a reconciliation. All was quiet in the apartment for a few minutes, according to Mrs Mason, a neighbor, when suddenly a series of streams were heard from the woman. Before anyone could enter, Valdes walked to the door and calmly announced:
"I have just killed her. Call the police."

When the police arrived they found Miss Potter on the floor in a pool of blood, with her head almost severed from her body. She had also been stabbed in the breast and abdomen. A few feet away was an empty carbolic acid bottle and beside it lay Valdes writings, in agony. Dr. Levine hurried from Harlem Hospital but found the man beyond human aid. The woman was also dead.

The 14th street address with her sister, Adole. She had been employed as a waitress in a Lenox avenue restaurant. Her body was shipped to Springfield for burial on Tuesday. Valdes was from the West Indies and although he is said to have been married, no wife or other relatives had claimed his body up to Wednesday day morning.
2 Die, 10 Hurt In Fire In Long Island
Two were killed and ten Harlem men were injured Monday midnight when they were trapped in a two-story corrugated iron structure which had been used as a locker and rest room for subway workmen, at Vernon Boulevard and 54th street, Long Island City, when fire broke out in the rest room and cut off their only means of escape.
When the fire broke out, there were about 75 men in the room. Immediately all became panic-streken as they realized that their only means of escape was cut off. They fought savagely among each other and in the melee many were knocked down and trampled on.
All but two workers managed to get out of the building. When treemen reached them, one had died from suffocation while the other died later of the burns he received.
Among the Harlem residents who were treated for injuries were

Salem Baptist Church Of Omaha, Neb., Is Hit By Internal Strife
(Mid-Western Press Bureau)
Omaha, Neb.-Salem Baptist Church is holding the center of the stage. Sometimes ago, IB members were dismissed from the church. They brought suit to enjoin the pastor and deacons from keeping them out. That suit is still pending.
A little later, one of the expelled members entered the church, and she claims: that one of the officers knocked her down at the church door, pointed a pistol and threatened to kill her. She had this officer arrested and he was fined $25 and cost for assault and battery.
During this excitement, a police detective rushed into the church, up to the pulpit, and called the pastor, saying "Come here. Big Boy, and give me that gun." The officer then forced the minister into the study where he grabbed and searched him. The minister countered with a $5,000 damage suit against the detective. Then to cap the climax, the recalcitrants had the young girl who was assaulted, file a damage suit for $2,000 against the pastor of the church and several officers. The pastor filled another volley by swearing out a warrant to have Elmer D. Deloisted placed under a peace bond.
Deloisted is the leader of the expelled members.
$3,000 Award Won For Blow With Beer Bottle
Durham N. C.-June Lancaster,
prominent Louisburg man, must
pay $3,000 to Julius Hayes, Louis
burg Negro, on a $10,000 damage
suit which ended in civil court here
thursday. The jury deliberated
about five hours before returning the
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
of $3,000. The case had been under
trial slightly over two days.
The defendant was charged with
having assaulted Hayes with a beer
bottle with such brutality as to
cause him to lose his mind, and it
was around this that the legal battle
centered. The defense tried to show
that Hayes had been in many fights,
and that the injury to his head was
caused by his other fights, and not
by anyone in particular.
The affray resulted over an oyster supper. Mr. Lancaster, it appeared, had taken some oysters to Haye's cafe and requested him to prepare an oyster dinner. Hayes presented a bill for $4 for his services, and in the argument that followed, Hayes was hit over the head with a beer bottle.

Mrs. Harriet Butcher
Gets $3,000 Verdict
Against R. C. Bruce
Friday of last week a verdict of $3000 was awarded Mrs. Harriett Shadd Butcher, former Washington, D. C., school teacher now employed by the Russell Sage Foundation, by the American Arbritration Association, against Roscoe Conkling Bruce resident-manager of the Dunbar Garden Apartments. Mrs. Butcher sued for $4000, which she alleged was loaned Mr. Bruce several years ago.
The Association took upon itself the function of a regular civil court upon the agreement of both parties a few months ago to abide by the decision brought by the arbitration body.
According to Mrs. Butcher she loaned this money to Mr. Bruce in sums of from $5 to $300 from May 2025 to 1927. Mr. Bruce denied that he had received any money from Mrs. Butcher as loaned and told the Board he had received various sums of money from Mrs. Butcher as gifts because of their friendship
The hearing as conducted before Chairman Anglehart at the Association office, 521 Fifth avenue, Donglass Wetmore, 1440 Broadway was counsel for Mrs. Butcher,

"Rather belated, though none the less sincere, please accept our heartfelt congratulations for the successful outcome of your campaign for reelection as Alderman from the 19th District.

If you will get a two-ounce original bottle of Moose's Emerald Oil (full strength) at any first-class drug store and apply it night and morning as directed you will quickly notice an improvement which will continue until the veins and bunches are reduced to normal.

The Course of Empire
RUGGED pioneers plodding mile after mile over strange country. A trip of months before the land of promise appeared on the horizon. Then the first transcontinental train. And the trip of months became one of weeks. And then the telephone—a so-called "plaything". Then the through line to Chicago—then the coast. Miles became minutes. Today your voice can speed over land and sea. Boundaries exist in name only—for the people of a nation have become neighbors—and nations themselves are knit more closely together. This company takes pride in developing this vital necessity in the life of today. And in the part it will take in the future in still further increasing its usefulness to you, the user.

"Then said he, also, to him, that bade him, when thou makest a dunner or a supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense made thee." St. Luke 14:12, was the basis of the sermon and. Thanksgiving message of the pastor Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler, Sunday morning. The message was delivered to a congregation that filled the edifice to capacity and standing room was at a premium. It was of great spiritual value, orderly and logically arranged, yet delivered in a style that individuals of even limited intelligence could comprehend.
Several persons joined the church when the invitation, was extended. After the sermon a liberal after collection was taken. This money will be used to give Thanksgiving baskets to the needy members of the church and neighborhood. In the afternoon the pastor, choir and members of the church paid a fraternal visit to St. Paul A. M. E. Church of whiob the Rev. Jesse Lofton Lundy is the pastor. In the evening the Rev. A. S.

He took up the famous saying of General Armstrong and showed that he looked upon life as an investment and under, divine guidance received more out of life than he put into it. Upon this he made an appeal for members of the church to give themselves fully to the cause with the assurance that they were getting more than they were giving.
At the evening hour the Rev. F. K. Stann of the Clinton Avenue Church gave a practical discourse on "Where Are the Nine?" in which he showed reasons why people failed to express gratitude.

Concord Baptist Church
The sermon of Neal Hughley, student at Union Theological Seminary, and field worker from that institution, in the Concord Church institution, in the Concord Church praise. Taking his text from the New Testament and his context from the Old, he spoke with clearness, unty and convincing illustration from the subject of Abraham's experience, to which the words, "For he looked for a city which had foundations, whose builder and maker was God," referred. He pictured Abraham as a tireless seeker over against ambitionless Negroes who are like mud-turtles; as not caring where he was going but heading onward in the search for truth as not caring where the search led him because he was leaving the consequences to God; and as searching for a city with foundations, not built on sinking sand, compared to those of us who build on reputation, wealth, social standing, and commit suicide when these material things fail.
The Sunday school as a body voted to contribute $16 to make up the $100 being given by the church to education through Miss-Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School at Washington.
The Rev. Joseph Carrington, whose church has no baptismal pool baptized two candidates joining his church, and one little boy of nine, who becomes a member of Concord Church, Sunday evening.

Fear is a powerful emotion. The things or situations which cause it are various. Women fear mice. Many people are afraid of any new situation. Children fear the dark, the bogie-man, the doctor, the policeman, animals, automobiles, strangers, etc. We cannot enumerate all such. Most fears are induced. That is, we are not born with them. It has been shown that apparently we do inflectively as infants (1) a student (2) a man (3) a port. One investigator, Dr. John B. Watson says all other fears are acquired.
How do fears of so many other things develop then? Because children see adults exhibit fear. Because the child connects the feared situation with some painful or unpleasant experience.. Because adults tell children that such and such a thing will hurt them. Because of bogieman bedtime stories children fear the dark A child is naturally curious about any new thing or situation not naturally afraid.
Fears are emotional expressions, but intimately tied-up with physical reactions. When we are afraid our muscles become taut, we get set for the breath, the beats beat faster, the breath comes lerky we get gasped or cold, our skin pales, "gooseflesh" appears, the hair may "stand on end." Our eliminative functions-overact. Fear may make us timid, speechless, motionless, cowards, or we may run away. Because of fear children may lie or exacerbate. Fear disorganizes our feeling and physical make-up.
Fear for certain situations is a good thing. It has self-preservative value. For example it is probably well that children should fear a rapidly moving automobile, or the

FEAR
edge of a precipice. I do not like the word fear in this connection. It is well that children should be taught caution. This implies knowledge and understanding. A child given to climbing should not be rebuked in awe-inspiring words, but rather told simply and calmly of possible harm and also of the need of a firm grip and sure support for his feet as the necessary thing to obtain security. It is very wisdom to guide children thru the maize of possible fear-situations to an intelligent appreciation of those that should be approached with caution.
Parents can prevent many fears if they will always tell the truth. If they do not lose their temper. If they do not exhibit fear themselves. If they do not talk about fear. If they do not threaten the child. If seeing the child in a situation that might be harmful, they help him out or it without alarming comment. If we talk of bravery, courage, manliness. If we teach them courteous approach to strangers. If we do not use the doctor or policeman as weapons to obtain a kind of obedience. If a child is afraid of something, with patience, sympathy and "repeated contact in conjunction with explanation we may rid him of it. In this way we teach him something of his own ability to control and master situations, a valuable training for adult responsibilities.
