Found Assistant Sick. On her return to the Liberian mission, more than a year ago, Miss Williamson found Miss Morris so seriously ill. It was to necessitate the latter's immediate return to America, where she now, and where she, Miss Morris, was married during the past August, planning to return, with her husband, to the African field of labor. In a letter dated October 30, addressed to Mr. Holstem, care Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor Abyssinian Baptist Church, Miss Williamson takes her opportunity to write in appreciation of Mr. Holstem's generosity, giving an account of some of the things accomplished in far-off Africa with the money he gave, at the same time reciting some of the ocular duties that prevented and earlier acknowledgment. After telling of sending Miss Morris away on the first steamer, Miss Williamson writes: "A general organization of the work was absolutely necessary. It was dry time" building program had to be started. The new missionaries arrived in Africa. The days were long enough, and in order to make each day count it was necessary to rest at night. There was not only work at the institution, plus the heavy building program, there was the work in the towns and villages. I didn't know when I have seen so many sores, swelling and all people." Built 60-Mile Road. She says that although Suehn was founded in 1912, when she reached there, five years ago, there was only a bush path from Monrovia, 60 miles away, running over narrow bridges and through swamps. Now there is a road leading straight from Monrovia to the school. A former principal, Miss Delaney had died, leaving missionaries at the school but they had gone when Miss Williamon reached the school and her first years were given to cuttish bush, digging cumps, clearing land, planting tarm and starting the education of a few children. Now she has a staff of six workers, with whose aid she has reconstructed the teachers' home of eight rooms, baths, veranda and kitchen, dining hall (started by Miss Morris), with dining chairs furnished by Abyssinian Baptist Church through Mrs. Powell, the patrons wife; cutting bush and clearing land for a laundry building, 20 yrs 20, with a drain to carry off water and a well dug just outside the door to supply water for washing; a girls' bathhouse large enough to be divided into sections for the elementary and junior high school girls, respectively, a boys' trade school to accommodate thirty boys, with storage space for lumber; an auto mechanics shop to hold two cars; houses to shelter cows goats, sheep, chickens and pigeons.

The school opened in April; and there are 112 boarding students with fifteen day school students. The school is entirely responsible for feeding the pupils and supplies about fifty per cent of the clothing. The dispensary opened in April, treats an average of thirty to forty people daily. The grounds are laid off in three compounds administrative, boys and girls. The Holstein Building Finally, Miss Mick Williamson describes the progress that has been made on the Holstein Building, the only concrete building so far in the interior from Monrovia. The foundation is of rock selected by Miss Williamson prior to her turbulence, and on her return with the money given by Mr. Holstein, she bought cement, hauled it sixty miles, and had the boys make the blocks. Sand was hauled from the creek, and the building has been erected to the first story, with partitions to the second. Foundations for pillows for the eight-foot piazza have been laid all around. The building is on a hill, facing the campus and the main dormitory. The reception hall and main offices will be down stairs, with a reading room, library and museum for exhibiting native creations, on the second floor. Other rooms on this floor will be used for art, and dressmaking. An annex, adjoining the main building from the piazza, was completed in April. Here are held cooking classes and it has been used as a teacher's dining room. This is a high one story building, with corrugated roof, and very cool. It is only possible, writes Miss Williamson, to carry on the building program during dry, weather, for when the rains set in the only outdoor work possible is farming. So her major short is being concentrated on fishing the Holstein Building before the rains come, but with the cost of building so high in Liberia, funds are exhausted and the work, has had to be discontinued.

FRED R. MOORE, Editor Assistant District Attorney Lehman Says He is Puzzled That Complainants Present at Former Hearings Did Not Appear Monday Assistant District Attorney Alexander Lehman dismissed all charges against the Rev. J. H. Humphrey, pastor of Harlem First Seventh Day Adventist Church, and his associates in the proposed health center at Atlantic Highlands, N. J., on Monday, December 2. When the case was called for a hearing Rev. Humphrey, with Messrs. John L. LeBerthen and George D. Spaulding, his white associates, were present and showed the District Attorney two deeds to property in Atlantic Highlands on which they said their development will be located. They explained that efforts to locate the project in Wappinger Falls, N. Y., had been abandoned. When the Assistant District Attorney found that there were no complaining witnesses present, he announced that they were free to continue with their plans, and he would entertain no further charges against them. MOB MURDERS DENOUNCED BY DAILY PAPERS Southern Editors Flay Recent Lynchings In Texas and Florida To a representative of The Age Mr. Lehman said he was puzzled that no one appeared as complainant against these people. He understood there were several witnesses who desired to prefer charges against the promoters of the project as a previous hearing, until he was told that Since these complainants were absent at this time, he had nothing to go on should he try to secure an indictment, Carefully guarded to protect him from possible attacks by other convicts, James Steele, 22, colored actor, was put in solitary confinement in the Death House at Sing Sing, charged with the murder of Reuben Kaminsky, 17, a fellow convict on Sunday afternoon at Sing Sing prison. With Steele sent two other colored men, John Harris, 28, and William Green, 27, who it is believed were implicated in the slaying which occurred in the yard of the old prison while 1,700 convicts were being lined up. Kaminsky was stabbed to death either with a knife or some other sharp instrument. So quietly and quickly did the stabbing occur that nothing was thought wrong until the man slumped to the ground. Guards quickly hurried the rest of the convict to a cell to prevent rioting and possible outbreak. The murder was the first to occur in Sing Sing during the regime of Warden Laws who has been in charge there for 10 years. He expressed himself as highly pleased with the prompt solution of the crime and the arrest of the man who is alleged to have killed Kaminsky. Until the 'Westchester County Grand Jury acts in the case, Steele and his companions will remain in solitary confinement in the Death prison as a result for their segregation is the relief they would be in were they allowed to mingle with the other prisoners. Steele was admitted to Sing Sing on October 20, 1928 after being convicted and sentenced for attempted grand larceny in the Bronx and would have been eligible for parole on October 3, 1920, his record as a prisoner had been good. Steele engaged in an altercation with Kammansky July and last days of time off for good health and a short time later was fined ten days for making unnecessary noises in his cell. A five-day punishment sentence was meted out to him on another occasion. MOB MURDERS DENOUNCED BY DAILY PAPERS Southern Editors Flay Recent Lynchings In Texas and Florida --- Atlanta, Ga.—Daily papers of the South are condemning in unmeasured terms the recent outbreaks of mob violence in this section, resulting in the lynching of a white man at Eastland, Texas, and of Will Larkits, colored, at Quincy, Florida. Of the Florida lynching the Miami Herald says: Shamed By Conduct "Florida has again been shamed by the conduct of a mob and the failure of authority. Another lynching has been added to the disgraceful list, making three in this state out of five in the entire South this year. A protest has been sent to Gov. Doyle E. Carlton, and it is said an investigation is being made. But the time to act was before, and not after. The beinous crime of Larkins. If guilty, deserved death, but death at the hands of the state. The rule of the mob and the collapse of authority are a graver danger to society, than the act of an individual." Commenting on the other incident and on the general subject of lynching the Dallas News, leading daily paper of the South west, says that no defense. Lynching is doubly onward. First, because the exaction of the life of an unarmed, unpressed, helpless convict by a crowd of armed men outrages every sense of fair play. Second, because past experience proves that no legal risk is incurred by local mobs. Its members seldom fear prosecution and rarely conviction. The shocking event at Eastland was an act of public fury. But it represents neither courage nor injustice." Patrolman Benton Arrests Burglar In Tailor Shop Brooker T. Smith of 239 West 142nd street was captured early Sunday, December 1. in the tailor shop at 246 West 143rd street by Patrolman Allen J. Benton of the 32nd Precinct.

Y., Dec. 2.—Breaking a policy in effect for more than a century, Alonzo Parham, Negro cadet at the Military Academy here, was permitted to talk to a reporter for The World for publication today. Parham bitterly objected to the publicity he has recently received and said it was "discouraging to see his position so sadly misrepresented and to be singled out as an object for pity. ALONZO SONLEIGH PARHAM Denies being discriminated against at U. S. Military Academy, West Point, N. Y. Col. Fillore Gets Armistice Greetings From French General That the French soldiers still remember with gratitude the part the soldiers from the United States played in helping them to victory in the world war was evidenced last week when Col. Charles Fillmore received a letter and photograph from General Vincendon, commander of the 59th Division of the French Army during the last days of the war. Col. Fillmore was an officer under General Vincendon during a part of the time he was overseas. The general wrote under date of November 11, 1929, as follows: "My dear Colonel.—Today, in which better than in any other day, we live once more in remembrances of the world war, and remembering the generous help that you have given, of my being you photograph of my亲临 that I had by the famous engraver, Dehares. It will be easier for you to have an enlargement made, according to the kind idea you have expressed in your letter. "I am taking advantage of this happy occasion offered to me in order to send you an affectionate testimonial of my cordial sympathy." Pres. Wright of Brick College At Meeting of Junior College Heads Pres. Wright of Brick College At Meeting of Junior College Heads Bricks, N. C.-Among the two hundred instructors of private and public junior colleges who attended the recent meeting of the Association of American Junior Colleges in Atlantic City John C. Wright, president of Brick Junior College, was the only Negro representative present. President Wright reports a most interesting and informing meeting. The importance of the junior college as a link in the Angrican educational network is a result of the steady increase in the number of these institutions. Ten years ago there were a hundred junior colleges in the United States. Today there are 451. "Published reports, that cadets never talked to me or that my relations with them are strained are absolutely false," he went on: "I realize that orders cannot be issued governing friendships and that such a matter is purely personal. Statements to the effect that cadets have been ordered not to talk to me are false. "Since July 1, when I entered my treatment at the hands of officers and cadets has been fair and never under any circumstances has there been any sign of discrimination or prejudice. "All the officers are giving me a square deal. I have "participated in every activity with other—fourth class men from the minute of my arrival. My drills have been participated in the tramural sports—playing baseball, basketball, football and other games in the football trips to Boston, New Haven and New York City. I have marched with my company and sat in the stands exactly like the other cadets." Troubled by Mathematics. Mathematics has given Parham considerable trouble, and he admitted that since the first week's introduction in September he has been deficient. He said; "During the first week I asked for and received extra instruction on two occasions at conferences with the officer instructors. When, with a number to 6.10 p. m. Three other cadets posted as being deficient we were all ordered to attend conferences four times a week from 5.10 p. m. of other fourth class men I were in my section. This time is ordinarily free." When asked if he had received cadet coaching at night, Parham replied he had never requested it in all other academic and military subjects Parham stated he was proficient, and that the mathematic course was the only one giving trouble. Major Gen. William R. Smith Superintendent, was also interviewed. He deplored the publicity Parham is receiving and stated that t it was having a most harmful effect. "This young man is absolutely on his own, exactly like every other cadet, and to single him out merely because of his color is un-American," said Gen. Smith. "Parham's academic standing in mathematics has been commented on in the press. While he is deficient in that subject, at one time there were eighteen other cadets with lower marks than his and an present time there are ten below him. In Parham's class ad present a total of forty-two cadets are deficient in mathematics, while in the third class sixty-one are below our required standards. All Not To Be Discharged. "To predict that any or all of these cadets will be discharged this December is impossible, as invariably a large number of the deficient cadets were passing marks. Last year 140 cadets were examined and only seventy failed to pass were honorably discharged. Parham's daily marks show that he is failing to pass by only a few tenths." "Is Parham isolated from the other cadets in any way outside of roaming alone?" was asked of the Superintendent. "He is not," was the emphatic reply. "If you could spend a few days here you would see him marching to all formations, participating in every activity and, in every way treated like other cadets." "Have orders been issued requiring cadets to refrain from talking to Parham or having social relations with him?" "No; if I discovered any officer or cadet issuing such orders or joining in a movement or cliché to do such a despicable thing I would immediately urge him before a general court-martial. In fact, I might almost consider that having a lawyer in such cases has authorized me peremptorily to dismiss lagers." Mrs. Bescay Bearden enjoyed the Thankgiving holidays in Philadelphia.

OF P.'S, REPLIES TO CRITICISMS Says Grand Chancellor Barcus Made False Statements As To Supreme Lodge Taxations To Raise Funds for National Temple New Orleans, La.—Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of the Knights of Pythias, who lives here, has given to the press an open letter addressed to Grand Chancellor Robert B. Barcus of the Ohio Grand Lodge. K. of P., replying to, and denying charges made in an October proclamation by the Ohio official, containing a number of complaints and a protest against increased Supreme Lodge taxes. Mr. Greene, in effect, asserts that Barcus has steadily opposed Supreme Lodge efforts and that he had refused to purchase for his grand lodge an allotment of $5,000 in bonds in the National Pythian Temple in Chicago, although the Oslo bed had on hand more than $2,000 in cash. Mr. Barcus charged that the supreme Lodge had, for the fourth time in ten years, assessed a tax of $1 per member against the sub-ordinate class for the purpose of raising funds for the National Temple. Not Real Assessments. Giving records or the supreme bridge as far back as 1922, Mr. Greene makes the statement that the Barcad charge is untrue. Instead of real assessments, he says that they were merely so called for reuse of requiring grand lodges to purchase to per cent temple bonds in an amount equal to what would accrue from the so-called assessment. Barcus is charged by the supreme cannellor with having tried to abolish all taxes levied for the purpose of requiring grand lodges, the supreme lodge, and Greene sites records to prove the statement. He charges further that the Ohio grand lodge was behind in its obligation to the supreme lodge in an amount more than sufficient to have taken care of delinquent taxes on the Pythian Bathhouse and Savarium in Hot Springs which caused its loss through being sold for taxes. Instead of there being a debt of $168,519.75 on the National Temple, Mr. Greene points out that Pythian Temple certificates to the amount of $86,640. are not an annual debt since they represent taxes paid by members of the lodges and courts since 1903, the certificates of stock issued to the grand pristinction, entitling these members to share in any dividends from the income of the National Pythian Temple and the Pythian Bathhouse and Sanitarium Pocketbook Workers on Strike in Newark Factory The International Pocketbook Workers Union, 53 West 21st street, New York, has placed Frank R Crosswalth as special organizer to direct the strike of more than 70 workers in the Royal Leather Goods Corporation, 77 St. Francis Street, Newark N.

C.—The 64th anniversary of the founding of Shaw University, with a memorial to its founder, the late Dr. Henry Martin Tupper, was celebrated here on Friday morning, November 22, with the founder's day address being delivered by Dr. John W. Davis, president of West Virginia State College at Institute. Dr. Davis traced the development of the school from its-founding in 1865 by Dr. Tucker, through its development until his death in 1893, and its continued growth under its present president, Dr. Joseph L. Peacock. He sketched the early policies of education in this country, and drew a sharp contrast with present day bases. Preceding the address by Dr. Davis, brief memorial exercises were held at the grave of Dr. Tumper, with a culogy by President Peacock, prayer by Dr. N. P. Roberts an old associate of Dr. Tumper, and taps sounded by Dr. George T. Jones of Raleigh In the chapel, a group of girls from St. Augustine School, with male students from Shaw, sang several of Dr Tuppeer's favorite Spirituals, other music being the Negro National Anthem, the Hallelujah Chorus and "Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem" by Mcubnder C. C. Spaulding, president of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., a trustee of Shaw, welcomed the home coming alumni, with a response by President S. G Atkins of Winston Salen Teachers' College; W. C. Craver, field secretary, made his report; C. E. Lightner of Raleigh represented the Alumni Association, Mrs. Hattie Shepard of Durham, the Women's Home and Foreign Mission Convention, and President C. C. Cartright of Beloress the General State Baptist Convention An alumni luncheon was served at 12:30 p.m. and a class reunion was held at 2 o'clock. At 3. Shaw's football eleven engaged the State Normal School team of Fayetteville, and at 7 p.m. there was an entertainment, with Steropion pictures of Shaw University and the Christian World Education. A $550,000 campaign is being conducted for expansion to the school. Hampton's 1930 Foreign Tour to Include Passion Play at Oberammergau Hampton Institute Va - The religious Passion Play.

Henry A. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board of America, was in New York this week, holding conferences with a number of the Baptist ministers and churches affiliated with his convention, which is to hold its annual session in September, 1930, in New York City. Dr. Boyd states that there are 41 churches affiliated in the New York Baptist State Association, the Rev. E. D. Bowles, president, which will be the host of the National Baptist Convention of America, and that there is evidence of an enthusiastic reception to the national Baptists next fall. On Sunday, November 25, Dr. Boyd spoke at Mt. Moriah Baptist Sunday school and Church, 45.West 134th street, the Rev. J. S. Givens pastor, which is reputed to have a membership of 2,500, at the morning service. At 3 in the afternoon, he visited Bethesda Baptist Church Portchester, the Rev. Mr. Hamblin pastor. At 8 p.m. he was with the congregation of the Southern Baptist Church, 13 East 134th street the Rev. J. M. Ostrone pastor. Maas Meeting Monday Night. The final activity was a mass meeting on Monday night held at the Broadway Baptist Church, 71 West, 132nd street, the Rev. E D Bowles, pastor, which has an estimated congregation or about 3,000.

Boston, Mass. "Race prejudice and race arrogance are the world's chief menace," said Rev. E. Tallmadge Root, executive secretary of the Massachusetts Federation of Churches, preaching Sunday morning at the Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal Church. "For over four centuries," he said, "Europeans have assumed that the new continents which they discovered and explored they could also exploit, that might made right. This period is now at an end. A complete change of policy and attitude is demanded on the white race, or world peace and progress is impossible. "It is any opinion that no scientific basis exists for the assumption of the superiority or inferiority of any race. Individuals in all races vary in capacity. The Christian principle is that, instead of exploiting, the strong shall bear the burdens of the weak. Race prejudice is incompatible with our faith, 'God so loved,' not Americans or Africans, but the world." A divided Church cannot save a united world. This is the motive that is uniting our denominations in the Universal Christian Conference, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, and the Massachusetts Federation.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1920 A NORDIC OBSESSION A recent news dispatch from London gave another instance of the progress of the Nordic obsession on the subject of race or color, which would seem to explain some of the recent discriminations practiced toward travelers of dark complexion. The British film consors have solemnly decreed that an English actor, playing opposite a piquant Chinese movie actress, never not kiss her in her new talkie declaring that a close-up of such action "might prove offensive to some English sensibilities." That is a new revelation as to the touchiness of English sensibilities, and quite at variance with the prevalent idents to the propensities of Britishers when bent upon a mission of conquest among the darker races. Both on the operatic stage and in such plays as "White Cargo", we have been given to understand that the British "officer and gentleman" abroad frequently indulges in dalliance with women of dark skin. The American public as yet does not seem to have developed any undue sensibilities on this subject of dalliance over facial lines so long as it is only the white males who cross the boundary lines. Even Eugene O'Neill's play of miscegenation, "All God's Chillun," where the unhappy hero was black, did not provoke any public disturbance or official censorship. But this may have been because the play portrayed the result of the mixed marriage as so productive of unhappiness that it could only be regarded as a portent and an awful example. But there is no telling where this color complex, that has taken possession of so many Nordic minds, is liable to break out next. 'A curious example of the way in which the subject of the Negro is dragged into the most unlikely situation was afforded at one of the hearings on the Senate lobby investigating committee, when Senator Caraway of Arkansas, the chairman, was interrogating a witness from New York as to his reasons for paying certain lobbyists to keep the sugar tariff down.' In pressing the witness for a direct answer, Chairman Caraway was quoted as follows: "Have you ever seen a Negro on the stand, Mr. Rentzler? How his Adam's apple bobs up and down when he is asked a question?" Unhappy must be the state of these Nordics, who are possessed by this color complex, or are so obsessed by the subject of face that it enters into their every thought and action. It might render them subjects for pity, if the result was not so absurd as to interfere with that sentiment. IMPROVING THE POLICE FORCE. The good order and security of any city depends largely upon the effectiveness and discipline of its civil guardians. Any force of police is just as good and effective as its head will permit it to be. To be an efficient head of police demands a combination of physical and mental qualities not easy to find. Two of the most efficient police commissioners that New York, ever had were Theodore Roosevelt and Arthur Woods. 'Neither one of them, however, was entirely free, to carry out his own ideas, although Col. Roosevelt dominated the board of which he was only one member. During the short time that he has been Police Commissioner, Grover V. Whalman has demonstrated that he is a man of ideas and that he knows how to have them carried into execution. He has tried several plans to improve traffic conditions, not hesitating to change them when better results could be attained. He has been just and considerate in his treatment of the men on the force, being prompt in the reward and commendation of good police work. Greater comforts have been provided for the force in accommodations in police stations; and new station houses have been planned where needed. The efficiency of the present head of the force has made itself apparent in the changes in the appearance of police headquarters, which now presents an in- writing, and businesslike aspect, in con- trait to its former bare and forbidding look. There is a greater degree of courtesy extended to visitors, as it to show that the force is maintained for the protection of the citizens. These changes have not reduced the efficiency of the force as a means of preventing crime and of apprehending criminals. They speak well for the efficiency of Commissioner Whalen. A COMMITTEEWOMAN SQUAD A WARNING. Mrs. George S. Williams is the only member of the Republican National Committee from Georgia, and thereby is the National Committeewoman and also acting Committeeman from that State. But, according to her story, she has been utterly ignored in either capacity, so far as President Hoover and the Republican leaders are concerned, in dealing with Federal appointments, in Georgia. Mrs. Williams also resents the attitude of Claudius Huston, the newly elected chairman of the National Committee, who she claims has ignored her correspondence, being the only one of the five chairmen she has addressed, to be guilty of that discourtesy. Georgia is not represented in either house of Congress by a Republican Senator or Representative, nor has it had any male member of the National Committee since the retirement of the redoubtable Benjamin Jefferson Davis, hence Mrs. Williams claims that favorable consideration should be given her recommendations for appointments. Instead of this, a committee of three, composed of James Francis Burke, Walter Newton and Walter H. Brown, was formed to deal with patronage in Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and later Florida. She further said that she was assured that her prerogative as National Committeeevoman would be respected, but instead she was forced in the background to make room for the Lilywhites. Now, Mrs. Williams is not the sort of woman to take this treatment sitting down. She has risen to publish her grievance and to denounce those whom she holds responsible for it, from the President down. She warns all these Republican leaders that the recent election in Virginia carried a lesson for them to learn, that the South is again solidly Democratic. That any Lilywhite policy entered upon to conciliate the white Democrats of the South is liable to alienate Negro votes in the Northern and border states. Flirting with the Klan has already got the party a spanking in Virginia and Indiana, and teaches that aason cannot be effected with race and religious bigots with any lasting prospect of success. Mrs. Williams declares that if the Republican party is to be maintained in the South, it must be through a clean and capable leadership of "the only real Republicans in Dixie, the black Republicans." She insists that this is the only firm foundation for Mr. Hoover to build upon; if he wants to get results in the South, Lilywhite leadership she denounced as "not only impossible but as suicidal as it is treacherous to party principles." She insisted that the Republican party must realize, if the Negro vote is to be kept in line, a policy should be adopted of recognizing and rewarding capable Negro leadership in the South, and rewarding with appointments and fraternal consideration the important Negro electorate of the North. She denied the accusing finger of graft and corruption and declared that there are many other Republican leaders who can do likewise. Mrs. Williams has made a courageous and candid statement of her case as it affects the general political situation, both North and South. Her clear and outspoken utterances should be heeded by those who are responsible for the present anomouglous situation, that prevails in Georgia and other Southern states. VISITING THE GROCERS. That was a significant movement in the economic progress of Harlem, when a string of motor cars with banners carried a representative group of business men on a visit of inspection and congratulation to the twenty Negro grocers who were recently organized into the Colored Merchants Association. It showed a vast advance in the public estimate of the importance of the corner grocer to the general business scheme of the race, and the part that such enterprises must play in the development of retail trade. The stores visited presented a neat and attractive appearance and were doing a rushing trade, on the occasion of their first sale under the banner of the new organization. These stores are all located at eligible sites on Seventh and Eighth avenues, or on the side streets running from 120th to 150th streets. With the same attention to business that was observed on the visit of inspection, there is no reason why they should not continue to do a rushing business in entering to the needs of their respective neighborhoods. The fact that they belong to a cooperative buying organization gives them substantial advantages in securing staples at market prices, thus assuring their customers of reliable goods at reasonable prices. This movement for organization among the grocers should prove an incentive to action in other lines of trade. There is need for shoe stores, dry goods stores and other lines of retail trade carrying articles in constant demand. However, it may be well to concentrate on the development of the present enterprises, which have exhibited such a surprising degree of excellence and activity since their organization into a cooperative movement. The value of such cooperation to the small merchants is obvious. This stimulus to this retail trade of Harlem was successfully brought about through the leadership of Albon L. Holsey, the active and energetic secretary of the National Negro Business League. His work of supervision in promoting this movement for better, business in Harlem has aroused much appreciation among those who were most closely concerned in its success. MORE ABOUT SENATOR-REVELS We are indebted to Editor L. H. King of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, an official organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church, published at New Orleans, for some additional details concerning the church relations of Senator Hiram R. Revels and a correction of the statement that he was a preacher of the African Methodist Church, which was inadvertently made in The Age of last week. In a telegram dated November 30, addressed to the editor of The Age, Dr. King said: Please make correction in reference to church relationship of Hiram R. Revels, as published in your "Service in Congress" editorial, of your issue of November 30. Senator Revels was not a preacher of the African Methodist Church; he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at one time my own Presiding Elder; was a reserve delegate to the 1876 General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the conference elected editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate. "See General Conference Journal, volume eight, pages six and three hundred four. We take pleasure in publishing this correction and thank Editor King for the additional details he has given as to the church service of the first Senator of the race, which testify as to his high standing in the denomination with which he was affiliated. It also bears out our contention as to the intelligence and capacity of the pioneer members of the race, who were chosen as representatives to Congress during the Reconstruction era. WHY JOIN THE UNION? A movement is on foot for the organization of some four thousand colored dressmakers, as part of the preparations for a general strike by that section of workers, to take effect in January. There are said to be forty-five thousand dressmakers in this city, and when they go out on strike, they do not want the colored workers who do not belong to the union to continue working at their trade. This is perfectly understandable on the part of the union workers, and their attempt to unionize the colored workers is good tactics from their point of view. Let us see what are the arguments used to induce the colored workers to join the union, and jeopardize their chance to earn a living by taking part in the general strike. The conditions in the industry, as set forth by officials of the International Garment Workers Union, were explicit enough, in showing the necessity for unionization of the colored workers. It was declared that they were paid only about half the wages of union workers and that they worked from fifty-two to fifty-six hours a week, compared to the forty hour week in union establishments. This clearly showed their need for some form of collective bargaining, usually effected through the form of a union. These colored workers are now invited to join the union and to cooperate with the white workers in their efforts to unionize the entire industry. They were told that their wages of fifteen dollars a week were not to be compared with the forty dollars a week of the union scale, which is true. This fact alone would constitute a perfectly good reason why every one of them should join a union, if their wages were to be boosted in that fashion. But most of these colored workers realize that they owe their opportunity to engage in this industry, to the fact that their labor could be secured at a cheaper scale than the union workers. The question arises if they demand a union scale will they be given any place at all. Unionism is necessary for the workers as a general proposition, but it will not appeal to the colored workers until they are assured of a fair deal by union organ- a equitable deal and a standing in the union upon the same feeling in other workers, they may be brought to see why they should join the union; DER'S FORUM THE EDITOR to the Editor will be printed in name and address of the writer, and are those of the writer, and electing the policy of The New Surveys the right to "out down" as length.

Editor of The New York Age: On November 24, Rush Zion A. M. E. Church, *Cambridge*, Mass. celebrated its 51st anniversary. The pastor, Rev. R. H. Collins Lee is a young man, 33 years of age, a graduate of Livingston College, and Boon Brake* Seminary. He is married and began his career in the church five months ago. He demonstrated his genius by a clever stroke of diplomacy by securing the presence of Congressman Oscar DePriest of the First Illinois District who was accompanied by Mrs. DePriest. The August visitors caused Cypress Hall in Cambridge to be packed from pit to dome. Rush Church being too small to hold the vast population. At 3 p.m., the distinguished visitors were escorted to the platform amid a thunderous roar of an嘈plause that greeted them and which lasted fully five minutes. Dr. Taylor, choreographer of the A. M. E. Church, Boston, brought his choir of fifty trained voices, which rendered most excellti sacred music for the occasion. Master of ceremonies was Rev. R. H. Collins Lee: opening prayer by Rector W. D. McClane; Mayor Edward W. Quinn being ill, he was represented by Charles F. Hurley member of the school committee, and who, in behalf of the chief executive of the city, extended a most cordial welcome to both Congressman DePriest and his wife, together with the courtesies of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Congressman P. W. Dallinger of the 8th Middlesex District sat next to Congressman DePriest. He is a great grandson of the immortal William Lloyd Garrison. His public record record him as being a champion of human rights and a lover of his fellow man. At the opening of the exercises, our national hymn was sung, all standing. Congressman DePriest was then introduced to the vast audience, and for more than an hour drew an inspiring word-picture of the possibilities of the future of the Negro. His hears gained new strength and added fortitude from the wise and witty remarks of the speaker, who emphasized the necessity of every man, woman and child of our group, reading and rereading the Constitution of the United States. Mrs PrePriest divided honor with with her illustrious husband as she was presented with a valuable token of esteem by a body of women here as an expression of the high worth and the deep allusion they entertain for her The glory of this occasion will long live in our memory, and will be a beacon light to guide the hoststeps of future generations of our people to a higher, and a nobler conception of service to man, and homage to God.

Editor of The New York Age: If Howard's football team is losing because they are amateurs, then all glory to Howard's team of the year Nineteen Hundred Twenty-nine. At the end of this season every member of the squad should be given a banquet and a gold football. If the team is losing this year because Dr. Johnson, his faculty and sincere students are trying to reinstate a rule endorsed by Howard, then they are not losing, but will win an important victory for Howard and for us all if they persevere in their purpose. The men on the teams are winning a victory all their own aside from the service they are rendering honest sport and education. When, some day, they are taking their places somewhere in life's great game the hired and pampered athletes will be keeping long vigil as Pullman porters, or, with palms out, they will wait (and maybe in vain) on State street for those who cheered them from the side lines in 1929. Let us think a little before we snicker at Howards losing team; for maybe, if our own records were made perfectly clear we would not want to giggle, and some of our high scores would probably lose some of their glamour. I saw a great Fisk team not long since. I saw on that Fisk squad a young man who holds an A. B. degree from Morchouse, and a B. S. from Tennessee State College. It will always be hard for any one to explain the presence of this young man at Fisk, with two degrees from her colleagues, other than in the light of a winning team. A coincidence is that Fisk was playing Morchouse in his year 1929, and this young man was quarterback and senior at Morchouse in 1922. In all probability Dr. Jones does not know all the facts in this case. If we were all brought to the confessional today, I should pity the good priest who must listen to all such tales. Less than a year ago I had a letter from two young men on the football team of Jarvis College stating that they had decided to make a change of colleges and that he had offered them the attractive for they had in hand several good offers already. I was inclined to congratulate Jarvis Moreover, Dr Johnson is one of the college presidents in a position to know that such a thing as a good football team of amateurs and scholars is possible. He was quarterback three years on a championship team of "Simon-pures," and he may recall now that he is not the only college president from that immediate team; for there is Hubert of Georgia State and Dr Weaver of Virginia. There is also Dean Hubert of the School of Religion at Morehouse, besides seven professional men and one good business man, all from this team of amateurs. Furthermore, Dr. Johnson knows how sinful it is to gamble with the future of the youth in requesting him, or allowing him to pay such a price for some questionable advertising for the college. The student who gains his education by means which he feels he must keep secret paves the way for his almost certain downfall in the future, and we all know that; for we see them falling about us every day like the acorns of autumn.

Thanksgiving By JAMES E BOND BY JAMES E. BOND Littie has been often styled an ocean, says Timothy Dwight, and our progress through a layer of ocean is spread by a belly lowly spread by a clyde sky, and brought beneath with shelves and quicksands. The voyage is eventful beyond comprehension, and at the same time full of uncertainty and replete with danger. Every adventurer needs to be well prepared, for whether may befall him, and well secured against the manifold hazards of losing his course, sinking in the abyss, or or being worked against the shore.

Congressman DePriest Visits Massachusetts Discussing on the origins of Thanksgiving Day, the Boston Chronicle paid tribute to the virtues of the early settlers of New England as follows: One of the most admirable features in the composite character of the transplanted Englishman who settled at Plymouth in 1620 was their devotion to God. Subject to the close scrutiny of modern scholarship, many of the ideas posterity - has cherished about them break down and dissolve into nothingness, but this fact remains: they were devout believers in God. Because, they were Separatists and so non-conformist to the Anglican communion, James I. had harried them out of the land and forced them to go to Holland, whence they set out for these shores. They sought here freedom to worship God as they willled, but modern enthusiastic libertarians are not suppose that they believed in religious toleration. Not all. Through divers persecution, not all. Through men persecution to walk the parish path which the Separatist ideals prescribed they still kept one eye on God, but their vision was often myopic. Their devotion is manifested in the ceremony which they passed on to posterity as a mighty tradition which annually gathers more and more momentum as time advances. While the religious aspect of the celebration has lapsed, the day is now given over to football and feasting that would probably amaze its founders.

It gets you told nothing else"—inaugurated a cooking school, of which it said: Several local firms maintained booths, while others cooperated by giving prizes and favors which were awarded during the demonstration. But the cooking school was a distinct success, and for four days hundreds of our women came out and received practical instruction in the art of preparing and serving meals; and on the closing evening (Friday), despite inclement and disagreeable weather, nearly two hundred housewives braved the rain and mud and attended this school. One' of the supreme officers of the Ancient Order of Pilgrims, in discussing the demonstration and large attendance of women, stated that no educational event which has ever been given at their building evoked as much genuine interest among Houston's representative women as The Informer's recent cooking school. The women, too, were demonstra- tively enthusiastic over the invaluable information they received and the many helpful hints and fine re- cords obtained from the conductress and instructress, and all who attended the classes are unstinted in their praise of the Informer for making it possible for our women to get the same type of culinary instruction given women of other races by this eminent teacher. This venture seems to upset the theory concerning Southern cook- ing, that it is a natural gift or a spontaneous outburst of the native genus at the soil. Another illusion is dispelled. Under the heading of "Bill Mayes" the Liquisville Leader paid the following editorial tribute to a Federal official, whose passing it chronicled: The caption portrays just how Mr. lately necessary, and should be used to prevent loss or illness. December 10 promises romantic and social success for the birthyear. Unexpected honors and opportunities will bring success, if taken when they present themselves. There is really nothing that these people can not accomplish if they be patient, and not go too fast. A good year in general Business success is indicated and promotion in the employment will come to many. December 11 promises much traveling that will bring pleasure and profit, success in the business and employment, but not so much success in romantic or domestic affairs. Patience will need to be used where there is unexpectable business. The year is unexpectable for business and employment. Old plans should be developed and carried out to a successful conclusion. The birthyear for December 12 brings success through those plans that have been long developed, and the help of the opposite sex in a very substantial war. Some very strong influences work for the people of today in this birthyear, and they should strive to accomplish the cherished plans that have so long been delayed. New plans will require much careful thought and study. Some fourth expatriates are cultivated. December 13 promises some financial development, and again through the employment, although it seems likely that domestic and family affair will use the money faster than it come. It is best that the people of today do not neglect them from strangers. Legal matters should not advised. All papers and notes should be studied carefully before being signed. No money should be loaned or borrowed. Much good can come from theearth through patience and good judgment. The readers who would like to know how to get ahead and to understand the planetary influence that are now working in their lives should send the full name the earth day, month, year, hour and place, with a self-addressed envelope, and ten cents in stamps to Thearcher, in care of The New York Age, 230 West 133th street, New York City. This paragraph should accompany the data. All communications are confidential. William O. Mays, prohibition minister for Kentucky, and ten niece, who suddenly passed away last week, was known, regarded and referred to by his friends, who were legion and included many colored people. Mr. Mays, who lived in Richmond Ky., was known in both his priests and political life as a man who he loved in a fair chance and a fair deal for everybody without regard to color, race or creed. It was because of this that he so easily rose from the trenches to the heights he attained in the political life and progress of his party and state. He had a friendly friend and he appreciated no friend more than he did that of Rev. J. W. Broadus, his townman; the pastor of the First Baptist Church and also a party leader. No higher tribute paid to the late leader than that by Rev. Broadadus before a committee of Richmond citizens the next day after the passing of his friend. When an occupant of the post of prohibition administrator, in a state like Kentucky, can still evoke such praise from his fellow citizens, it shows the highest appreciation of personality regardless of official position. Talking about the effects of the recent collapse in the stock market the Chicago IWhip said: Let it be known that the colored people were severely injured in the recent collapse of the stock market. Contrary to the many reports in the newspapers to the effect that colored people do not buy stocks and boote there were hundred of colored people in Chicago who lost heavily. Just why it was thought that colored people have not dabbed in stocks is not clear to us and again it reveals to what a small extent we are understood. One colored man of means lost over fifty-thousand dollars and was sold out by his broker week-before last, another, left the effects of the slump to the time of thirty thousand, while there were numerous small investors who were wiped out. This just proves that the colored man is more Americanized than he is given credit for. All along the colored people who have had some available cash have been procuring first class bonds and stocks and many bonds on north side hotels, and apartment houses have been purchased out south by our people. A very large amount of big utilities stocks has been purchased by colored people and while we have no way of knowing just what the tendency has been in other large cities we believe that investigation will show that there is not much difference. Dabbling in stocks has not been uncommon among colored New Yorkers, and some of them have evinced shrewd judgment as investors in sound securities. The talking film of "Hallelujah," which created so much stir in New York last summer, does not appear to have made so good an impression South. The editor of the St. Luke Irrelard of Richmond, after calling it a farce, said: We went to see and hear the "Hallelujah Talkie" with all Negro actors and talkers. It was an unwieldy triangle of a Love Story, Crime and the Church. The scenes of plantation life were too far back and out-of-date with eight or nine people living and sleeping in a one-room house. At the out-set of the Hallelujah Picture there were a few familiar and wideawake movements with dark boys' cotton picking. After the picture petered out to a travesty and the failure of conviction we contend that this conglomeration of Church, Crime and Love Story is not worth a "Hallelujah" That is an interesting reaction of an intelligent member of the race in the South to a film, which pretends to furnish a faithful picture of Negro life, in that section. It does not distract from the picture-que character of the film, however. Discussing the announcement that the American Federation of Labor will start a campaign to organize the labor forces of the South, the Tuskegee Massenger said: In the eyes of the employer-particularly the absentee corporation-labor is neither white nor black, is efficient or inefficient, cheap or expensive. The employer is seeking to get the most efficient labor at the cheapest price. His most effective menu has been to keep the work divided along a race. This has been done in a section where amputations between black and white workers are deeply rooted in economic competition that extends back into the slavery period. If the American Federation of Labor organizers do not already have it, they will learn it before their active campaign in many days old. They will learn too that separate labor units will not notice the problem. Such bureaucratic organizations are too easily played one against the other and instead of making for the unity of all workers serve to intensify race hatreds. There is only one way to improve the efficacy of the labor movement in the South where two races contribute so largely to the labor forces and that is the organization of all the workers without discrimination, each having an equal voice in the same unions. This may mean that the Federation's campaign of organization will have to be preceded by a campaign of education in which all the workers will be taught that they have common interests to protect against those who would exploit them. In view of the uncertain attitude of the Federation on the color question in the past, it will prove necessary for it to adopt a trenuer policy in order to effect any positive organization of Southern labor.

The pastor person dealt with the crowd. He discussed the rise of the Jews in a long ago day and then conquest by ancient nations and now then scattering among the nations of the earth.

Rev. John H. Johnson, appropriate season to come to your senses. "Living the life of God begins with repentance and ends with consolation," asserted the minister, Denning repentance, a little girl once answered her Sunday school teacher's advice that sin is being sorry enough to quit. And by consenuation, we mean not only ceasing to do evil, but learning to do well. And so during the season of Advent we should gain a knowledge of God through the coming of Jesus Christ. Repent, cease to do evil; do well, come to your senses." Flowers for the altar were contributed by Miss B. Neckar in memory of her father; by Miss Sadie Bonds in memory of her father and mother; by Edwin Williams for his father; by Ewain Williams Barron and Mrs. Nice Hoe Boot.

The game offensive power to the best advantage was played before about 10,000 fans' age. NEW DOUGLAS On at least three occasions, Coach Taylor's team was within a few feet of the Howard goal line but each time they seemed to back the necessary punch to carry the ball over. The best chance came at the end of the third quarter, when a forward pass from LaMar to Lewis and a series of line plunges, brought the ball to Howard's two yard line. Carter was substituted for aetter-back but he failed to all over the goal line. Marred by Fumbles. Same was marred by his numerous fumbles on both sides. The costly of these fumbles was one Sylnor, after he and Clark had carried the ball to Howard's 12 yard life in the second per. Marshall was able to back out of danger for Howard. Marshall handled the brunt of the Lincoln attack and his punting and generalship of the Howard team was very good. The Howard line also deserves great credit for its playing. The Pennsylvaniaans on the other hand, secured lost for a field general Jackson LaMar and Carter were used at various stages of the game.

Also Andy Razor and Tate Waller Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—(By the Associated Negro Press Staff Correspondent) Clevie L. Abbott, coach of the Tuskegee Tigers, and carrier of the famous "Little Budda," told his boys to shoot the works against the famed and powerful Bluefield eleven here Thanksgiving and just how well his boys, carried out his orders was told on the scoreboard at the end of the game, which read Tuskegee 34; Bluefield 0. Playing the last game of his career, Ben Stevenson, captain of the Tiger eleven, who has for six years ran around, through, and over, opponents from Dallas, Texas, to Philadelphia and Chicago, and in and around these arts, was superb in every phase of the game Thursday and did it just as the book said it should be done. In the running attack, with Harrison and Johnson running interferences, he was a constant threat and menace to the West Virginians, and in kicking and passing, as well as in receiving passes and his defensive work he stood out head and shoulders above any other player on the team, to more than just as he walked off the field with his team down his cheeks, Coach Abbott met him and said, "Well done; thou good and faithful servant" or words to that effect. The score of the game does not in any way indicate just how hard fought this game between the nation's best college teams, was, nor does it give any inkling of the gallant and courageous night put by the boys from West Virginia. Both teams and been drilled for this game and were primed for action. Action came immediately after the kickoff when the Tigers launched a driving offense before which the fighting West Virginia fell gradually. Heartened by the manner in which their captain was performing, the Tigers displayed a game imparalleled in the history of Abbott coached teams at Tuskegee. Mixing a brilliant and bewildering aerial attack with power and deception by the Tigers, Blue and time and again for long yardage and scores with Stevenson kicking every try, the extra point but the last one.

At, least such an interpretation might be placed upon the latest decree of the British film censors. For the celluloid solons have just announced that John Longden, English actor playing opposite Anna May in her new talkie, "The Road to Dishonor," is forbidden to touch lips with the pretty young actress. They declare that a close up of them kissing might prove offensive to some English sensibilities. Longden plays the part of a handsome Russian army officer, madly infatuated with Anna May. He said: "The ban on listing Miss Anna May is stupid and inconsistent...It is a ridiculous anomaly." Miss Wong had this to say: "I see no reason why Chinese and Englishpeople should not kiss on the screen, even though I prefer not to. If two people are in loveit does not matter what their races are." THEATRICAL JOTTINGS Jimmy Cooper wins a court order to bar Gertrude ("Baby") Cox from working for any body but himself. This is until his breach of contract suit for $12,000 is disposed of. He stated that he placed her with the Immerman Brothers club in Harlem, and they later induced Miss Cox to leave him and star in "Hot Chocolates," ed them as one of the greatest teams in the country during the past three years. The loss of Can, the brainy field general, might have disheartened the Blutes for a while, but not one time did they yield an inch of ground with a real struggle. "The courage and sportsmanship stood out during the entire game." By defeating Bluenfeld, Tuskegee laid claim to the mythical national championship and remains an undefended team either in the conference rating and in the intersectional games, having defeated Wilberforce who conquered West Virginia and the North Carolina Aggressor of the L. I. A. prior to Thursday's victory over Bluenfeld. Both coaches were loud in their praise of the showing of the opposing teams and the sportsmanship on the field "a suave team" was Jefferson's description of Tuskegee, and "one of the best teams Tuskegee has ever played" was Abbott's comment on the Blue Bills.

Clinton Holloway, president. The New York delegates to the Fort Worth convention were Mr. and Mrs. Carl Diton and Mr. and Mrs. John H.

CHRYSANTHEMUM IS PROGRAM THEME CHRYSANTHEMUM IS PROGRAM THEME The regular weekly meeting of the Musical Art Forum of Orange, N.J., held Sunday, December 1, at 5 o'clock, in the Wilson Lamb Music studio in Metropolitan Life Building, was denominated as a "Flower Day" observance, with Mme. Bernerdene Mason as chairman of the program. The chrysanthemum was selected as the emblematic flower, and the interesting program was made up of talks on the origin and development of the flower, an original poem, "Legend of the Chrysanthemum," and musical numbers relating to flowers and to the autumn season. And then, to cap the climax, at conclusion of the program Mme. Mason served the score and a half of invited guests a delightful lunch in which the principal feature was a "Chrysanthemum Salad," made up in almost identical simulation of a chrysanthemum in full bloom. This was by means of using whole oranges, with the outer rudged sliced in narrow strips to represent the petals, from which some of the pulp had been removed, the space thus left being filled with a savory chicken salad; just before serving, this was covered with whipped cream, over which grated nuts were spread, and on the top of which a maraschino cherry was perched. Dainty crackers, sandwiches, salted nuts, mints and other candies, and coffee with whipped cream, were served with the salad. Mrs. Alice Russell Michaeaux was the mistress of ceremonies, and she presided with dignity and accomplished grace. She began the program with a brief but interesting account of the origin of the chrysanthemum, and then presented Mine, Mason, contralto, who sang the "Flower Song" from Gounnod's "Faust," followed by "Caution" by Hope, with Mrs. Cora Wynn Alexander at the piano. Mine, Mason then read an illuminating account of the various species of the flower, exhibiting, through a splendid and diversified display, the different varieties. Mrs. Alexander played Channadee's "Autumn" and McDowell's "To a Wild Rose," and then Mrs. Michaeux presented the principal feature of the program, the Rev. David J. Lewis, assistant pastor of one of the white Baptist churches in Orange, who had composed an original poem for the occasion, "Legend of the Chrysanthemum." Mr. Lewis read, with fine effect, his imaginative creation of the origin of a mystery flower in a "Garden by the Sea," by a flock of water sprites who sought thus to set up a memorial to a beloved family of earth people who had lived in this garden, who had been smitten by the dread monster Death. It was a cleverly conceived and executed poetical composition, and was lent additional beauty by the reader's fine declamation. Then followed the luncheon, served at small tables in the Studio, with Professor Lamb as official host for the afternoon.

The polls will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The ticket comprises three members of the Governing Board; nine of the Trial Board; two delegates to the A. F. of M. Convention, and one delegate to the Central Trades and Labor Council. Other officers of the administration of Local 802 are not affected by the election. The Governing Board in its entirety consists of twelve persons. Race members as a whole fail to avail themselves of their membership privilege and should vote. This is not as it should be, and every race musician should register his choice on election day and every leader of an orchestra should himself vote and induce every musician under him to go to the polls and record the ballot that would be graciously given him. "On November 2, 1929, a joint meeting of the Board of Directors of the M. M. P. U. and the Governing Board of Local 802. A. F. P. of M. was held in the office of Local 802 for the purpose of devising ways and means to lease the M. M. P. U. building." So reads a bulletin from the official Journal. "That it looks like the Musicians' Mutual Protective Union and Local 802 liable to bury the hatchet, merge, and sing "For he's a jolly, good fellow." Up to the highest court have these two factions fought. It was a bitter fight, partaking somewhat of the qualities of a civil war. Local 310, years ago, awoke one morning to find serious dissension within its ranks. This spread. Sides were taken, Chaos and confusion resulted. A group got the insignificant and presto, a charismatic warrior was granted. It is Local 802 recognized and affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, and whose membership cards are recognized from coast to coast, and also in Canada. Local 310 (now M. M. P. U., functioning only locally) fought, engendering staggering costs on both sides—fought within the labor body and fought in the civil war. Eventually had to be satisfied when the Supreme Court decided against them. It is claimed that at the formation of 802, or subsequently, nearly all the old 310 men joined Local 802, not being sure how the cat would jump, and wanting to protect their travelling show engagements. This made them pay dues to two organizations. After the final court decision many musicians dropped membership in the M, M, P, U to avoid double payment of dues. M M P. U. returned its old headquarters in East 808 street and Local 802 engaged a large suite of rooms in the Fisk Building at 808 street and Eighth avenue. Their rooms included a very large room for meeting and assembly purposes, which has not been much patronized. A similar room of the M. M. P. U. is usually crowded, with an overflow to the sidewalk that impedes traffic. Rumor and that the leader of the Liske Building premises, some time ago, offered Local 802 a hand-some bonus for the return of the premises, which was refused. With the expiration of the natural life of the lease not so far distant, the Local, it is assumed, thinks it to go back front whence they came. The birth of the fight was started in the 808 street quarters; if and when Local 802 returns there, may the obsequies of the fight remain in a calm and permanent manner.

WYNNE PNEUMONIA TOLL 400 THIS MONTH SAYS DR. WYNNE Commissioner Finds that Common Cold Is Largely Responsible There have been nearly 400 deaths from pneumonia and 25 from influenza in New York so far this month. With this announcement, Dr. Shirley W. Wynne, Commissioner of Health, uttered his wintry warning against carelessness and neglect of the common cold, which is responsible for the majority of pneumonia and influenza fatalities. If the individual keeps himself fit, the commissioner said, unsettled weather conditions will do little harm. Weather conditions of any sort seldom affect on the person who exercises common sense about eating, sleeping and dressing. Dr. Wynne declared. "With the arrival of cold weather invariably the number of deaths from pneumonia and influenza begin to increase despite all the years of effort on the part of the health authorities to educate the public against the dangers of colds," the commissioner said. "If colds are checked in their incipiency there will be less influenza and pneumonia. While innumerable studies and surveys have been conducted and still are under way for the cure of common colds, they have been unsuccessful. The reason for this is that the cold itself is not a single disease, but a condition brought about by the breakdown of resistance of the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, and caused by a large variety of disease germs. "At this season the tendency of almost everyone is to keep warm, and that tendency, natural as it is, leads to much of the trouble. Keeping warm does not mean barring air from one's home. It does not mean overloading oneself with clothing and it does not mean excess in the use of stimulants. If more care is taken each year, there will cease to be a pneumonia season."

RACE MEMORIAL INDIVIDUAL IDEA NOT PARTY'S PLAN Washington Plan Born in Mind of Ferdinand Lee, A Civic Leader BY RIENZI R. LEMUR Washington, D. C.—Congratulations authorized erection of a National Memorial to Negro soldiers—if L. S. Africa, first raise a half-million dollars to largely finance it. Some race leaders don't "murder the scheme, and say so. Another writes that the Memorial is a Republican party son. But whatever men may think of the idea and however good it might turn out to be it was not a "G. O. P." idea and cannot be a "sop" to anyone The idea to have a Washington community utilitarian Memorial to the Negro dead of all U. S. were instead of a mere shaft or a statue was the brain-child of an all-Negro group headed up by Mr. Pendinand Lee of Washington, a highly respectable and respected citizen resident of the National Capital and leader in civic affairs. It was Mr. Lee who most actively led in organizing the testimonial banquet to Newal H. Thomas president of the Washington Branch, N. A. A. C. P. militant champion of manhood equality at all times and in all places. That was in April, 1928. Acted in Good Faith. And it was this same Ferdinand Lee who took the initiative last March to bring together the most notable company of diversely tinguished U. S. Africes ever assembled around the festal board in tribute to Dr. John R. Hawkins A. M. E. Church general office university trustee, bank president and chief of the Negro group in the Republican National Committee's organization. The question of the Memorial never got to Congress until those who conceived of it took it there. They did so in good faith, and it is felt here that disapproval of the scheme affords no reason for questioning motives. Philadelphia.

During all the cooling from grammar school to his present age, who has borne the expenses of his school, when the means of assisting his son, attained, the father is still trying to be of service a native of New Orleans, La. He entered that city in 1895. He still retains the order: the paper on which this was written on one has colored it to a faded yellow. The one hand and reads: Several days ago, a colored man, wearing a benigant smile and stepping with a sprightness which wasn't althogether due to the rubber-heeled shoes he wore, walked into the Pullman district office in the Grand Central Station Building. He was a man of the smooth, black type, and was dressed in a manner that denoted meticulous care in the selection of his attire. Indeed, his appearance was moist deceptive. A stranger might easily have taken him for a successful business man, so faithfully did he portray the character. There is nothing strange of course, to see a black man, meticulously dressed, enter this office. As a matter of fact it is a common occurrence. But in this instance, this one's entrance had an odd effect. For the moment, there was a lull in the monotonous clicking of typewriters; desks, over the tops of which puckered-brow clerks bent, lost their impelling force; the office was at attention. From every part of the commodious room, as though by concerted signal, came this greeting: "Hello, Tom". "Good afternoon, gentlemen", replied the entrant, in a voice which echoed the softness of the South, despite long residence in the North and the 'benevolent effect', which traveling to and fro in New York subways usually has upon a mellifluent voice. The colored man who attracted such marked attention on this day, and caused the brief cessation in Pullman business, was Thomas Washington, until recently a porter in the service of the Pullman organization. On October 4, of this year, the veteran was put on the retired list, and his record was filed away in the service archives of the organization, there to repose among the records of the other faithful and true retired Pulmanites. Although he wasn't retired until October, the veteran had reached the retired age, which is 70 for Pullman employees, since November, 1928. Duk, however, to his many years of meritorious service, and because of his exceptional physical condition, he was given an extension of time, the same as in the case of ex-Porter Victor Block. Both of these former porters ran on the same train, the Empire State Express of the New York Central Lines, although, at the time of his retirement, Block had been operating on the train for fifty years; in fact, he made the first trip on its meidan run. Washington, however, had only operated on it for twenty or so years, but like Block, he left a perfect record for his work on this popular New York train. Not only was the type of service he rendered graffitifying to his employer, his supervisors and to the railroad over which he ran, but this graffitification was observed and noted by those who were direct recipients of it. An example of this was furnished by the Albany Evening Times, several years ago, in a lengthy article extolling the virtues of Washington as a porter. Above the writer's observations, the article contained a full-sized picture of the veteran, with the Empire State express, in the background, and was headed, "Veteran Porter on Empire State Express. Can Always Find Time for Courtesy." Among the many similar things that the writer of the article said of Washington was this observation: "Tom personifies service. It's one of the things he delights in. He is on tap for any passenger any time, which cannot be said of all porters on all trains. He is what might be called an old style porter, bred in the southland, where service was enjoyed." That item just about epitomizes Tom's service history to the trailing public. But Tom has other records for service. In 1912, while running to Buffalo, he started in that city a Roman Catholic mission for members of his race, and, between runs, supervised and generously contributed to its support. The mission was taken over a few years ago by St Augustine Church of that city. When the present writer asked him the other day it he had any regrets about being retired, he replied: "Yes, I have one; I shall miss my Buffalo mission." It is not too much to think, or even to visualize, that if this old veteran of the rails were to walk into his mission at Buffalo that the reception which would be accorded him would be even more cordial than the one which he recently received in the New York Pullman office. There is also another leaf to be turned in the service book of this black man. True, it is service of a personal character, nevertheless, it is one of those phases of service that commands admiration. The service concerns his family. Over in South Brooklyn, at No. 1717 Seventeenth street, to be exact, there is a modest, but trim cottage in which the family of the ex-veteran. It is one of those homes that the family can call its own, and this was accomplished in spite of the fact that there were twelve bodies to fed and clothe while the buying of it was in progress. In this family ten children were reared, one of whom is now a student of surgery in the Royal College of Surgery in Edinburgh, Scotland. His name is Joseph Leonard Washington. Everyone who knows the elder Washington, and many who do not know him, will call to mind Joseph, who was at time well-known in athletics in and around New York. Young Washington served three years at New York University, during which time he was secretary of the student body of the school, and starred on both the football and the baseball teams of that institution. From N. Y. U., he went to Colby in Mine and graduated from there in 1926, with the degree of B.A. In 1927 he went abroad and matriculated in the class of surgery at the University of Edinburgh. During all the years of Joseph's schooling, from grammar school to his present school, it has been his father who has borne the expenses of his scholastic training. And even now, when the means of assisting his son, attain his ambition have been curtailed, the father is still trying to be of service to Joseph. Tom is a native of New Orleans, La. He entered the Pullman service in that city in 1895. He still retains the order that put him to work. The paper on which this was written was once a maunilla shade, but time has colored it to a faded yellow. The order was written in long hand and reads: "This will be your authority to run with it until further orders." "Yours truly. J. MORRISON, Dist. Supt." Iom prizes that letter as one of his treasured mementos. Be bringing the Pullman service. Tom was a member of the Georgia A. but destiny, it seems, never intended him to follow the life tester.

Burial services for the deceased veteran were held from St. David's Church, of which he was a devout member, on Friday, November 29. Mr. Sylvester was in his 79th year at time of death.

Phones: Audubon 4645 Bradhurst 1231 GENERAL AND LOCAL NEWS DUCKS ARE FLYING: GAME DINNERS NOW IN ORDER By PRUDENCE BOODHUE By PRUDENCE GOODHUE The frost may be on the pumpkin and all that sort of thing these days, but the vital question to your amateur huntsman is whether the ducks are flying and where. Fried Rabbit 2 young rabbits, Evaporated milk 1 cup fine bread crumbs, salt and pepper, Flour, 1 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup water, salt and pepper, Dress rabbits and wash quickly Game foods have come into their own again as the seasons have rolled around. Aside from the comparative inconvenience of occasionally biting, into a pellet of lead—the sportsman will laugh off losing a tooth that way—game foods have an appeal that has nothing to do with their exceptional flavor. The primitive instinct to sally forth and slay provender for the family board is deep in the most civilized of men. And the fluck that a man himself has shot tastes sweeter to him than ambrosia. It is squarely up to the wise wife to humor the brute, pick the feathers and clean the ducks and ceremonially serve the game dinner. Veteran wives of seasoned hunters learn many tricks about the cooking of game that aren't in cook-books. Here is one thing to be careful about; game shot in the warm Indian Summer days are apt to spoil if not promptly taken care of when the hunter returns. Cold weather bags are not so important from this standpoint. Roast Partridge 3 young partridges, ½ cup water, Bult and pepper, 1 cup evaporated milk, 2 tbsp, melted butter, 1-2 tsp, salt, 1 cup fresh bread crumbs, 6 peppercorns, 1 tsbp, butter, toast Clean, singe and draw the birds neatly, *Rub each with salt and pepper, then with melted butter Put partridges in baking pan and bake in a hot oven (425° F.) for 25 minutes, basting every five minutes with a mixture of 2 tbsp, butter and one of water. When done have ready the following bread sauce: Place the crumbs, butter and water in a saucepan, add the evaporated milk, salt and peppercorns. Oakie 5 minutes. Remove the peppercorns. Serve partridges on toast and garmish with parsley or water cres. Serve with bread sauce in a separate dish. Yield: 3 servings. Boston. Mass.
