A larger interest than has ever been noted in the community was shown by those who helped the poor folks to enjoy the Christmas tide, and this was evidenced in the response to appeals from charitable agencies for help in furnishing a supply of good things where they would do the most good
The New York Age, through its columns, had appealed for funds with which to help in the good work, and was able to give dinner baskets and money to a number of deserving families in the district, paying particular attention to the blind.
At the 369th armory, the Christmas Cheer Committee, of which Mrs, Mayne L. Briggs is chairman, dispensed 402 baskets containing the various foodstuffs needed for a Christmas dinner, and in addition furnished clothing where needed and toys for the children.

Joe Wilson, Hero of River Rescue Saving Policeman From Drowning, Is Given $50 By Patrolmen, 7th Precinct
Cop's Life Endangered By Man He Was Trying to Save; Wilson, Asleep On a Barge, Wakened By Cries, Throws Rope to Him
Last Thursday's daily papers carried the story of the heroic rescue of one Herman Schwartz from the East River by Patrolman Peter Franchini of the 7th Precinct. But most of the papers failed to mention the fact that it was a Negro who saved both the patrolman and Schwartz from drowning before other policemen succeeded in getting them out of the water.
In the 19th A. D. he joined for his rope, which cut deep welts ines with Abraham Grenthal in an effort to his hands and arms. Both the policeman and Schwartz control in the district in the face were taken to the hospital and of an insistent demand on part of Schwartz is reported to have contracted pneumonia from his long of the principle of majority repre- exposure in the ice water.

Joe Wilson is the name of the heroic colored man, and on Saturday morning, December 28, he was rewarded for his part in the rescue by a presentation of $50 from Tranchini and his fellow patrolmen at the 7th Precinct. They also secured a job for him as a watchman for a subway construction
GEQ. W. HARRIS SEEKING SOME POLITICAL JOB Supported Grenthal In Effort To Perpetuate His Control
Persistent rumors are current to the effect that George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, is an aspirant for a political appointment, and that he is willing to take anything that may be available.
One report has it that he applied to a prominent party leader downtown for his endorsement, but that the man applied to advised him to return back to his own district and get the local leaders' endorsement.
It is alleged that Mr. Harris was seeking appointment to the Federal Shipping Board, or, failing that, to a place on President Hoover's proposed Haitian Commission. But if anything can be gotten, he will be satisfied.
Mr. Harris was formerly located in the 21st Assembly District, and was elected, some years ago, to the Board of Aldermen from that district, but early this year he changed his voting residence to the 19th A. D., being actuated in this move, it is said, by his failure to continue in the good graces of Robert S. Conklin, the Republican leader of the 21st A. D.
Pledged Self To Grentha!
In the 19th A. D., he joined forces with Abraham Grenthal in an effort to perpetuate the latter's political control in the district in the face of an insistent demand on part of the electorate for the establishment of the principle of majority representation. When Grenthal easyed to sidetract Alderman Fred R. Moore refusing him the designation as regular party designee for renomination, he found willing ally in Harris, who was named as a candidate in the September Primary for nomination to the Board of Aldermen in Mr. Moore's place, after he had pledged full allegiance to Grenthal both as district party leader and as Assemblyman.
But the voters of the district repudiated both Grenthal and Harris, the first named being defeated for renomination to the State Assembly by Attorney Francis E. Rivers, and for executive member and leader by Col. Charles W. Fillmore, and Harris being overwhelmingly defeated in the Primary by Alderman Moore.

immediately stripped himself of his overcoat, coat and gun and leaped into the water to save the drowning man.
He grappled with Schwartz, who succeeded in getting such a strangle hold on the policeman's throat he was unable to swim. The two were about to go down when Wilson, who was staying on a barge out in the river, heard the cries and threw a rope to them. The captain of the barge rowed ashore and went to a telephone booth to telephone for the emergency squad.
It was more than thirty minutes before the rescue policemen and barge captain arrived to pull the men out of the icy water. All this time Wilson kept them afloat with his rope, which cut deep welts into his hands and arms. Both the policeman and Schwartz were taken to the hospital and Schwartz is reported to have contracted pneumonia from his long exposure in the icy water. The policeman was discharged from the hospital on Saturday, and has been recommended for promotion for his heroism.
When interviewed, Wilson stated that he had been a janitor on West 95th street, but had recently lost his job. He knew the captain of the barge and went down to live with him because he would not have to pay rent while out of work. He is a widower and lived for 15 years in Buffalo before coming to New York City. He has grown son in Davenport, Iowa.

Joyous Christmaside
At West 137th St. Y
Christmas in the Branch has been very delightful. There have been festivities of many kinds and in the midst of the gallery, time has been found for Christmas service, work for children in the hospitals and nurseries. Both buildings have been very lovely and "Christmas" with Christmas trees, garlands, of angel and holly wreaths.
On Friday afternoon, December 20, Mrs. Olga Mosa Peterson, teacher of the Children's Dramatic Class, and Miss Viola Lewis, camp director, took "twenty-five" children-campers and Girl Reserves—to a special complimentary performance of "Peter Pan" with Eva Le Galenee at the Civic Repository Theatre. It was a very festive occasion. Balloons, candy and oranges were distributed to the children through the courtesy of Miss Le Galenee.
A generous friend of the Y. W. C. A. gave a sum of money, to be given as Christmas gifts to girls in the Association who were in need of help at this time. Fifty dollars of this amount was given to this Branch for distribution among those of our girls who most needed assistance. This distribution was made to the best of our ability and the gifts carried much Christmas cheer. Miss Mildred Turner, bookkeeper in the Emma Ransom House, spent a part of the holidays with her parents in Brocton, Mass. Miss Leoja Nelson, physical director, visited her home in Blinghamton, N. Y., and Miss Wenonah Bond, Girl Reserves secretary, spent the holidays at her home in Washington.
We cannot refrain from mentioning the generosity of many members who contributed articles for the Columbus Hill Day Nursery children.
Many members of the staff were delighted to receive cards from Miss Susie Elliott, who is at Tuskegee this year, and from Miss Ada E. Freeman, who is studying at Wilberforce this year. Both Miss Elliott and Miss Freeman were formerly on the staff.

Victor Cauvin, Secretary General of the General Committee of the Patriotic Union of the Republic of Haiti, has written a letter to The New York World, giving his organization's version of the present situation in Haiti and what he considers the causes that led to the recent difficulties, culminating in fatal rioting.
Mr. Cauvin says the news despatches that have come out of Haiti did not give the whole truth, due to the fact that of two of the leading correspondents one is the Chief of the local police, an American Colonel, and the other is also a member of the police force, a Sergeant in the Marine Corps. The other reads in part as follows:
dispose of the budgetary appropriation just as he pleased and that if the students did not like it they could get out and he would be very happy to replace them.
"Get out," he told them.
"Mr. Freeman, like all the American officials, was not under the control of the Haitian authority.
"As soon as the commission re-
"Do not believe the despatches or the news stories in the press which pretend that the actual movement is due solely to the opposition of the Haitian people against the third Presidential term of Mr. Louis Borno, who, added by American forces, could manage to get himself re-elected by the Councilors of state, from the appoints and dismisses as his fancy dictates. True, the country is against that sort of thing, but for the moment the question goes beyond Mr. Borno. It is the American administration itself, it is the regime of intervention that is in question. It is the present like-it-or-hump-it American regime administering our affairs that we use against and the following explanations will enlighten you.
The School Situation.
In the Central Agricultural School part of the Technical Agricultural Service (Service Technique d'Agriculture), which is headed by George Bouce Freeman, an American citizen.
The school was founded to pre-grade geologists, but it has never used diploma.
The students are made to do work out humiliating and useless to their chosen profession—real forced labor. The management of the school forces them to dig wells with their hands. They often have to strip themselves naked in order to do the work.
2. For some time they have been forced to clean stables and act as nurseries to animals. Previously this work was done by hired men. 3. In order to pay for this labor Mr. Freeman has decided to withhold part of the $10,000 provided in the republic's budget to be distributed in certain sums among the students of the Central Agricultural School. This misdirection of funds constitutes an infraction and consequently isolates the budget law where such acts
System of Pines.
The system of fines has been established by means of which an important part of the sum, if not entire sum, is withheld from the students on the most dimly excuse. The original sum of $25 has been gradually reduced to $15. The students kept protesting against this state of affairs by letter. Not getting any satisfaction he appointed a commission to obtain a reply from Mr. Freeman October 31 they called-on him and told them that he was free to
How One Woman Lost 20 Pounds of Fat
Lost Her Double Chin
Lost Her Prominent Hips
Lost Her Sluggishness
Calined Physical Vigor, Vividuousness, and a Shapely Figure
Thousands of women are getting fat and losing their beauty just because they do not know what to do. If you are fat, how would you like to lose it and at the same time gain in the physical charm and acquire a clean, skin clean and eyes that sparkle with your health?
And gain in energy and activity?
Why do we do what thousands of women have to take in rid of pounds of unwashed fat? A teaspoon of Kruchen Salz in a glass of hot water breaks and keeps it up for 30 days. Then yourself and see how many pounds you will have the surprise of your life and all a bottle of Kruchen Salz that will probably just live on your hands 85 centures. Then you can take the first bottle and just pour a bottle of Kruchen Salz into your life.
dispose of the budgetary appropriation just as he pleased and that if the students did not like it they could get out and he would be very happy to replace them.
"Get out," he told them.
"Mr. Freeman, like all the American officials, was not under the control of the Haitian authority.
"As soon as the commission reported Mr. Freeman's reply, 214 students decided to strike, left the establishment and marched peacefully to the town. Twice the police broke up their lines. They formed them again as orderly as before.
"Arriving in town, they went to the newspaper offices to tell what had happened.
Law Students Join Strike.
By November 5 the Government had not yet made any decision. The law students, joining the others, also went on strike. The following evening they marched through the streets of Port-au-Prince in orderly and tranquil manner, followed by a good-sized crowd of the curious on foot and in automobiles. They marched as far as the Villa de Turcagu, home of Mr. Freeman. Several shots were fired from the yard at the crowd. The police stationed at the place had absolutely no provocation against the demonstrators, who, like the rest of the citizens, were not armed. Still they dispersed the marchers.
"They returned to the town as far as place Toussaint-Fouverture, opposite the Presidential Palace, hurling imprecations at Freeman. The Haitian Guard proceeded to arrest several young men. All the others insisted on sharing the lot of their comrades. Then all the arrested students were released. On the second day the entire university joined the strike." "Sunday, November 10. they made an impressive march through the town. The demonstrators kept order in their line of march, also keeping order in the immense crowd that followed."
Commission Named.
"The Government formed a commission to investigate the causes of the strike and to propose some solution. Mr. Freeman refused to come before the commission.
"Following the commission's report the Government adopted a resolution which did not satisfy the students who continued to remain on strike. But since then they have not made a single public demonstration.
"The strike spread over all the towns of the republic. The students in all the classes of the elementary schools joined it also.
"At Jacmel all commerce went on strike for twenty-four hours. At present all the departments (schools, garages and others) under the supervision of Mr. Freeman are on strike.
"December 3 the Government published a communique declaring it declined all responsibility for any measures that might be taken against the strikers
Strike at Custom House.
"On December 4 the town woke up to the march of a large military force. Defachments of marines were parading through the town with fixed bayonets, and several squads armed with machine guns. By 9 o'clock, when the population was still calm in spite of everything, the Director of Customs at Port-au-Prince, Mr. Johnson, in American, under a trifling pretext struck an employee. Antonio Hyacinthine, whom he blamed, it said, for making an error in some memorandum. As a protest against this act of provocation the entire Custom House personnel went on strike and quit the office.
"That afternoon the head of the occupation, Col. Cutts, placed a notice in the newspapers proclaiming marital law and prohibiting the
residents of Port-au-Prince and of Cape Haitien from circulating on the streets between 9 p.m. and sunrise.
"This proclamation was not published or posted until late in the night. Nevertheless, early the following morning, all those on the streets, who could not possibly have known of the new order of things, were arrested.
"It must be noted that the news papers of December 4 did not have time to publish the text of the proclamation, which had been handed to-them too late for publication on the same day.
Marines Paraded Town.
"That some day forty to nity persons were arrested and held at the orders' of the military court. From 5.30 in the afternoon, before the order of the establishment of martial law had been published, marines paraded around the town ordering people to go to their homes. "Thus it was that Mr. Probus Blot, former Director General of Information, while at home at the Grande Rue, found himself facing a squad of marines, who pushed him outside and proceeded to arrest him.
during the afternoon by officers of Gendarmerie who maltreated him. They inflicted on him serious injuries and led him to prison. The unfortunate man is still in prison, searching in vain for the cause of the treatment accorded him.
"Following the strike at the Custom House the employees of the office of the Councillor of the Treasury quit as a sign of protest of Mr. Johnson's act and went on a twenty-four hour strike.
Bank Employees Strike.
December 5 the employees of the National Bank of the Republic of Haiti also declared a twenty-four hour strike. All commercial houses closed their doors. All in protest against Mr. Johnson's provocatory act and against the maladministration of the Americans, who, every day, give additional justification to the demands of the Haitians to restore their independence and to establish a legislative body with powers to draw up a new constitution suitable to our needs.
"The editors of the newspapers were invited to a meeting by the chief of occupation, which solicited their aid. However, they declared themselves obliged to discontinue publication, not knowing, they said, how far they could go in the exercise of their privileges, and, above all, not wanting to give the impression that they acquiesced in the proclamation of martial law.
"Members of the Bar Association at Port-au-Prince, St. Marc, Jacmel and, it is stated, in other cities also have refused to appear in court while the martial law is in effect.
Protection Is Asked.
At this time when the American Government has decided to form a commission to investigate the situation every one is asking what guarantee the Haitians have to speak out, to give information, with the martial law still hanging on their necks. We must be allowed to prepare unhampered our means of defense. Our bodies must be enabled to meet freely and publicly to discuss what to do; we must have the right to correspond freely without fear, by mail, by wire, under the guarantee of the protection of our national laws.
"Now, the martial law knows nothing of all this. After fourteen years of occupation and intervention in our affairs, against which we have constantly protested, we have come back again to the first days of the debarkation of troops. Until the 17th of this month we could not walk the streets from 9 p. m. until 5.30 a. m. We were treated as enemies in our own homes, in our own country.
"The Haitians hope that due to the publicity given to the situation in your newspaper they will obtain a modification of the restrictions of the martial law depriving citizens of the exercise of their rights. Otherwise no person will be able, freely and without restriction, to tell the truth against General Russell and his administration."

C. is now home and reported out of danger. Mr. Young and two companions were about 20 miles outside of Durham when they came to a congested stretch of the road.

In the head-on collision Mr. Young was thrown through the windshield and badly cut by the broken glass. His companions were not seriously hurt. Another motorist took the injured man back to a Durham Hospital, where he was treated and remained

Louisville Ky - Presence in mind of two Negro youths present a possible stampede of 2,000 persons at a Christmas party for school children attended by Master William B Harrison in Booker T. Washington Community Centre Hall here late today. Paper hangings and other decorations on the ceiling caught fire from a photographer's flashlight and there was a general rush for the exits. Fire two boys. William Gibson, twenty, and William Long, twenty-one, members of a band present, began to blow their horns and helped stirs the rush.
Major Harrison thanked them later and said they doubtless had presented a disastrous stampede. The loss was nominal and the Fire Department saved the Christmas tree, about which was piled presents for 18 children.
Philadelphia, Pa. — Rather than stand trial on charges of attempted criminal assault, Herman Gerton, 30, a prosperous white merchant of 5921 Christian street, committed suicide in Fairmount Park by taking carbobe acid.
Gerton accosted a colored woman, Mrs. Pearl Burton of 4932 Olive street, on Thursday morning, December 19, and offered her a job at housekeeping. She told him she would be able to take a part time job, and when Gerton found that they were near her home, he suggested going there that he might make a note of her name and address.
When they entered her home and he had gotten the information, he threw his arms around her, declaring that he liked her. She protested vigorously, ordering him to leave her home, and when he persisted in his amorous attempts she screamed.
Her brother-in-law, living next door, heard the scream and came to her home just as the white man was embracing Mrs. Burton. He rushed in and grabbed the man, and called upon a passerby to telephone the police. A bandit chaser patrol, with a detachment, of police officers, quickly reached the house and Gerton was placed under arrest.
Man Fails To Appear
He was afterwards released on a copy of the charges, and ordered to appear in court at 6:15 and Thompson streets on Friday morning, but when Mrs. Burton and her counsel, Attorney Robert N. C. Nix, appeared in court Gerton was not present. Attorney Nix asked for an order of arrest to bring Gerton into court on Saturday. But when the woman and her lawyer appeared in court on Saturday morning, they were informed the court that Gerton had gone to Fairmount Park and killed himself. The body was taken first to the morgue and then to an undertaking establishment at Broad and Diamond streets, where it was identified by Mrs. Burton. Gerton was married and the father of two children
Prejudiced Employee Dismissed By Woolworth
Altoona, Pa - The I. W. Woolworth Co here has dismissed from its service the manager of the food department of the. Altoona store who declined to serve colored customers, according to a letter from the company's district office in Wilkes-Barre to Randolph Brown, secretary of the Blair County branch of the N. W. C. P.
This action was taken by the company following an investigation of a travelling superintendent, and Mr. Brown was notified that "the man responsible" for the condition complained of "no more in our employ."
Felt Worn-Out
"I WAS very weak and had such a tired feeling, even when I had not been doing any work," says Miss Mary Powell, 253 Oak St, Montgomery. Also, whose picture is printed above. "I was sleepy and no matter how much I rested, or sat around, I still felt wormout. I had a bad taste in my mouth, and I cached all the time.
"I felt like I needed a tonle, and as I had heard so much," Cardui and what it had done for others, I thought it would help me.
"After my first bottle, I felt more like eating than I had before, and I didn't feel quite so tired. I kept on taking it, and I gained and felt so much better. It sure is a splendid tonle."

MURDER, SUICIDE END BURWICK'S FAMILY TROULBES Father of 5 Kills Wife and Self on Christmas Evening
Blooding over the fact that his family had been broken up, led Ernest Burwick, 44 years of age, to go to the apartment of his estranged wife at 233 West 143rd street on Christmas Day night, cut her throat from ear to ear, and then slush his onn throat. Both were dead when neighbors found them on Thursday, December 26.
The Burwicks, who had been married nearly twenty years, separated about five months ago. Their five children, ranging from 17 years to 24, ent with the mother, but a short time later they were taken away by the Children's Aid Society because it was alleged that the mother was unfit to continue as the children's guardian.
Had Planned Deed
This so upset the husband that for some months he planned the murder and suicide, according to information given The Age. He is alleged to have visited the home of his brother-in-law just on Christmas Eve and made the remark that Christmas would end his troubles. No one took his remarks seriously at the time, and his subsequent action proved a shock to the entire neighborhood. Both he and his wife, Mrs. Blanche Burwick, 43 years of age were natives of Charleston, S. C., but had lived in New York City since their youth. His funeral was conducted from the chapel of Clinton Brooks on Sunday afternoon with the Rev. Willard Monroe officating. Interment was at Mr. Olivet Cemetery.
The wifes' funeral was held a few hours earlier from the chapel of Norman B. Sterrett, with the Rev, Dr. J. W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's M. I. Church officiating, and interment was at Woodland Cemetery. The oldest daughter, who has been placed in the home of a wealthy white family, attended the funeral of both parents.

Rhinelander's Divorce No Good In New York
(Continued From Page One) that there had been no concealment and that young Rhinelander had been aware, when he married, that his wife had Negro. blood. The Court of Appeals on March 30, 1927, upheld the original verdict and denied the annulment.
Immediately Mr. Rhinelander began to talk about a divorce, and his wife threatened a suit for separation. Both disappeared from public view for many months, but last spring Mr. Rhinelander was discovered in Las Vegas Nev., where he was living in a mountain shack under an assumed name. Mrs. Rhinelander's $500,000 suit against Philip Rhinelander for alienation of her husband's affections is still pending in the Supreme Court, and she has moved for an increase of the $220 monthly allowance she now receives.
DIVORCE FAILS TO HALT ALICE RHINELANDER'S SUITS.
Counsel Declares Her Property Rights Will Not Be Affected.
New Rochelle, N. Y.-Alice Jones Rhinelander, who, according to reports, was divorced by her husband, Leonard Kip Rhinelander, at Las Vegas, New, apparently is little concerned about the news. She was seen at her home, 763 Pellman Road, recently and insisted the action of her husband would not affect the two suits she has pending against Leonard Rhinelander and his father. She also added that no matter what legal action her husband had taken in the Nevada city, her property rights in New York would not suffer.
Samuel F. Swinburne counsel top Mrs. Rhinelander said:
"I have not been officially informed of any divorce or separation obtained by Leonard Kip Rhinelander at Las Vegas, New, but in behalf of Mrs. Alice Rhinelander I will say her status will not be affected, even if her husband obtains a divorce in Las Vegas, which, by the way, is not binding in New York State, Mrs. Rhinelander will proceed with the suit for alienation of affection against her husband's father, Philip Rhinelander, and she also will proceed with her suit for separation from Leonard Kip Rhinelander.
"Even if Leonard should marry again (assuming that he has obtained a divorce) the property rights of Mrs. Alice Rhinelander will in no way suffer."
'The suits against the Rhinelanders will be carried through at speedily as possible.'

CHRISTMAS IN. KENTUCKY.
Christmas is the one day in: the year
: that is’ supposed to Be dedicated’ to: the
Prince of Peace and to celebrate the
reign of Peace on Earth, Goodwill to
Men. And: yet the members of a mol
in the state of Kentucky’ selected this sol-
emn festival to take a man from a county
jail, perforate his body with fourteen bul-
let holes and-leave him to die in the snow.
All of ‘the parties concerned, mob, and
victinw alike, were white men, If it had
been a black man, the mol would -prob-
ably not have been satisfied with merc
murder, but would fiave had. to make a
‘holécaust of the Killing by burhing their
victim, | + ‘
Now, what were the comitions that
led supposedly civilized’ individuals, how-
‘ever primitive their stage of civilization,
to spurn the ordinary processes of the
law and: take from the keeping of the
legal authorities a man accused of crime.
and put him to death without trial or op-
portunity to defend himself? The crime
of which” the prisoner? was accused, was
the killing of his employer, ‘a well-to-do
farmer. It is alleged that the latter was
threatening him with a shovel, during
a dispute over a question- of election to
the county school board.* So a pléa of
killing in seli-defense might have been
justifiable, ‘
Later news dispatches from the dark
and bloody ground of Kentucky sought
to attribute the killing to a feud’ between
the two families of Fugate and Watkins,
of several years standing, but the day has
come when Kentucky feuds have ceased
to have any’ standing in court. The real
reason for the invasion of tire jail and the
killing of a helpless prisoner, white
though he was like his killers; was the
brutal urge of the lust for mob murder.
Fostered by the lynching and barning of
black men for over a quarter of a cen-
tury, it exacted the penalty of such in-
dulgence by directing its fatal effect re-
gardless of the color of its victim, |
Continued disregard for law and con-
tempt for the slow processes of the courts
have left their mark on every commun-
ity where lynching has been allowed to
go unpunished. The practice of lynching
black men has bred communities of mur:
derers. in every part of the South, who
would just as soon celebrate Christmas
by shooting one of their number to death
as not. This is part of the price that the
South must pay for having allowed the
lynching spirit to dominate that section,
Anti-lynching legislation is needed to
protect the South from. the lust for mob
murder, which it has suffered to grow be-
yond its control. *

OUTLOOK ROR THE NEW YEAR
With tle stating of a new calendar
and the relegation of the old one to the
trash. basket,s it is the custom, to take
@ mental inventory of the ups and downs
of ‘the twelve months. elapsed and make
new ‘resolutions for the present, Fre
quently, cause for encouragement is to
be found in tle ground’ gained during the
past year and inspiration given for re-
néwed effort.in. the future, The thought-
ful observer és inclined to point out the
reasons apparent for past failures and to
draw fessons for a change of tactics in
seekting. further advancement, whether i¢
is to be made ‘along materjal or spiritual
lines.
In gathering momenturn'for further ef-
forts, especially along economic paths,
that being the outstanding need of the
times, it has been suggested that particu-
lar attention be directed to’ those things
in’ Which the race is most deficient, or at
least where such lack deters advancement,
'In this field the institution of chain storés
is singled out as a most important de-
velopment of’ modern business. It is
therefore necessary: to secure employment
for members of the race in these estab-
lishments, which cater‘to'the needs of qur
people in so many localities, This. has been
done to a large exvent in Chicago, through
an interisive campajgn supported’ by those
customers who cofitribute to the success
of this form of retailing.
The next thing would be to establish
|a system of chain stores manned and op-
ertited by members of the face; in such
localities where adequate support might
jreasonably be anticipated. The organi:
‘zation of the colored grocers and other
yusiness men of Harlem into a cooper-
ative group was a step im this direction,
which should work out increased business
and greater measure ofsuccess for all
those cottbining their efforts toward a
|common end. The starting of new busi-
ress enterprises should be stimdlated and
aneieomed on the part of those who pos-
Isess or can supply the proper equipment
of capital and experience. This would
increase the opportunities for employ-
‘ment and furnish an incentive to the

of winemployment, which was noted: dur-
ing the past few mionths of the year past,
there is liable to be a sad disparity be-

behooves those who hold a wage earning

King Vidor is the name of the director
who was responsible for the productior
of the all-Negro film, “Hallelujah.” Mr
Vidor patted himself on the back afte
the production of this vocal and pictoria
representation of what he considered Ne
gro life, regardless of what Negro audi
ences may think of it, and considered h
had done a good job. By comparisor
with previous films depicting the darke:
race, he was not without reason.
But Mr. Vidor's satisfaction over his
production. was slowly dissipated. when
he* learned that the film did not take in
the South. The verdict was that the ex-
hibitors did not want it, and it seemed
likely that its showing would arouse lit-
tle but opposition, This predicted failure
of “Hallelujah” is attributed to wide-
spread Southern prejudice, which refyses
to recognize the Negro on the stage or
ae S : <
film in any other role than that of a min-
strel or low comedian. The Negro is not
suppased to possess the ordinary virtues
and vices of common humanity, or it the
race has them, the white audiences of the
South do not care to acknowledge their
existence.
Mr. Vidor wha is himself a Southerner
by’ birth, had thought to get around this
matter of racial prejuilice by his manner
of treatment on the film. He thought he
lad removed the greatest objection pas-
sible by using no white people in the cast
and sn. avoiding any comparison of the
two racés, and not showing the Negroes
involved in any activities of the whites,
He sought to show the hlack man buitd-
ng his own lifé along lines different from
the customs of the whites.
As Mr. Vidor pointed out to a writer

woided, showing Negroes “aping the

CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Saturday, January 4, 1989
Bethel A. M. E. Church
Sunday, December, 22nd, was Christmas day at Bethel. A large audience was present at the morning service to hear Dr. Clarke preach a Christmas sermon from the second chapter of Luke, 15th verse, "And it came to pass, the Angels were gone away from them into heaven the shepherds said one to another. Let us now go even into Bethlehem, and see thing thing which is come to pass; which the Lord hath made known unto us." After the sermon seven persons united with the church.
The third copy of the "Greater Bethelite" was distributed, and it is showing a decided increase in the financial receipts of all departments.
The Pastor's Aid was installed and presented the pastor with a purse of money as their Christmas gift; also the Junior, and Stewardess boards made presentation of purses to Dr. Clarke.
The senior choir, under directions of Jos. Vandervall, gave a Christmas musical at the evening services. The featured number on their program was violin selections by Jos. H. Douglass, grandson of the great Frederick Douglas. Mr. Douglas played several delightful numbers.
The programme was as follows:
"There were shepherds," Mrs. Wade Renolds, Messrs. Albright and Overton; "Babe of Bethlehem." Mrs. Atkinson; Christmas Lullaby, "King of Angels sleep," Messdes Hart Avery, Messrs Green, Overton; "Down through the Ages," Elliott Servell; "The Glorious Song," Miss Byrd, Messrs Green & Landers, "Wondrous" Mrs. Swinton; violin select Mr. Douglas; "The Heave," Tellling; Miss ird, Messrs ird, bright, Landers, and choir, "Watchman tell us of the night," Mrs. Jones, Mr. Servell; "Bethlehem," Messdes Hart, Avery, Messrs, Green, Overton; "There is a song in the air," Mrs. E. Young; "It came upon the Midnight Clear," Messrs, Servell, Green, Jeffries, Overton; "O Holy Night," Elliott Servell with Chas. Taylor violinist, and choir.
Christmas morning at four o'clock Dr. Clarke preached again to a large congregation in celebration of the Birth of Our Savior.
St. Cyprian's Chapel
Christmas Day at St. Cyprian's was a day of great joy. The crowds at the 6 and 8 a.m. communion services, and Christmas Carols were greater than the attendance at the 11 a.m. communion and prayer service. The St. Cecelia's Choir, under direction of Miss Genevieve Lee and Miss Williams, rendered the music at the 6 and 8 a.m. services
Rev. John W. Johnson, vicar,
stated that he was so well pleased
with the good attendance at all the
services that he was inspired to
preach a good sermon at the 11 a.
m. service and took his text from
the Epistle of St. Paul to Titus,
2nd chapter, 2nd verse, and all
who were present can testify that
he kept his word and delivered an
exceptionally good sermon, after
which he administered communion
to a large number who were present.
One of the striking and touching remarks of the vicar was that part relating to his work at the Lincoln Hospital and the last members of the old colored home. This institution, which for years was known as a colored hospital and donated by wealthy white people years ago as Colored Old Folks Home, has been turned into a public institution and a school for colored nurses. This was the last sermon of Rev. John W. Johnson to the inmates of the colored home who are being transferred to other institutions or to private homes and was an extremely sad one.
At the 11 a.m. service, Christmas Day, there was presented to our organist, Mrs. Logan, a beautiful set of table linen, the gift of the choir and the members of the church.
Sunday, December 29th, 1929, the flowers on the altar were the gift of James Jackson, one of the owners of the Harlem Flower Shop, located at 138th street and Seventh avenue, in memory of his mother, Mrs. Hester Jackson.
Preacher at the 11 a.m. service was the vicar, Rev. J. W. Johnson, text, St. Luke, second chapter, 14th verse, "Glory to God in the Highest, on Earth Peace Good Will Towards Men." Theme "Ideals."
Preacher at the 8 p.m. service the vicar.
Monday evening the children of the Sunday school held their Christmas tree party.
The usual Watch Night Services held Tuesday.
Grace Church of Harlem
In spite of the rainy Sunday morning a large number of the congregation came out to the service to hear Dr. Garner in his last sermon of the year. Dr. Garner took his text from the 35th Psalm, and as his Theme, "This Year Only." Dr. Garner's sermon was a resume of the work done by the congregation in the year, and was both interesting and encouraging. The choir, few in numbers, made up for its lack by the excellence of its singing.
The infant daughter, Shirley Ethel, of John and Antoinette Bethea, was presented for baptism at the morning service.
With fitting service by the pastor the following new officers, who had been elected at the annual meeting, were installed: Deacons Mays and Henderson; Trustees Parks and Mrs. Nettie Terry; Church Clerk James T. Payne; Financial Secretary Elizabeth H. Davis, and Treasurer Percy W. Bean.
Dr. Garner preached an able sermon at the evening service, taking as his text, "The last Chance."
Church school convened at 9:15 a.m., and the Gracondis Club at 2:15 p. m.
The church school exercises were held on Friday evening at 8 p. m. The program consisted of the ainging of carols and games by the children, after which refreshments were served and gifts distributed. A fine time was had by the children present.
Watch meeting night services on Tuesday night, at 9:45 p. m. A special program has been prepared by the pastor and the Deacons' Board.
The Grace Church Day Nursery has grown to be an institution, and is filling a long felt want in the neighborhood. Miss Helen C. Garner, superintendent, has been ill for several months, but her place has been filled by an able assistant.
The Misses Choates and Washington will begin the second term of their kindergarten on January 7. All children between the ages two and six are eligible.
On January 19 at 8:30 the choir will present Richard B. Harrison dramatic reader, in "Diana of the Ephesians," proceeds to go to the mission at Galanges, Angola.
The Missionary Society, of which Mrs. Garner is chairman, is giving a Clothes Line Social in the near future.
Mrs. Martha Washington, deaconess, is on the sick list.
Prayer service every Wednesday evening at 8 p.m.
Paradise Baptist Church
Friday evening at Paradise Baptist Church, set aside for the Christmas tree reception of the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. combined.
The program rendered was a most wonderful sight to ones eyes. The house was filled to its utmost capacity there, were distinguished visitors, among whom was Mrs. H. W. Stanley, who for the first time witnessed a Christmas entertainment. As she stood in the midst of the congregation looking as sweet, and fresh as a rose, applause arose like thunder.
On account of the weather Sunday morning the congregation was rather small but, however, those present were fed with much spiritual food, from Rev. H. W. Stanley, pastor, using as his subject. "And if a house be divided against itself that house cannot stand."
At the evening hour of worship he used as his text, "A Deceitful Heart." Rev. Stanley spoke truly from the depths of his heart. He explained so clearly how deceit begins to work like a poisonous snake and finally brings one down to degradation.
"One united with the church."
Mother Zion Church
"At the End of the Year" was Dr. Brown's sermon subject on last Sunday morning. He took his text from Philippians 3:13, and said in part:
"The last Sunday, in the year, in many respects is no different from any other Sunday. It marks the beginning of a new week. It has about the same number of hours It is a day of rest and worship for millions. But, it is different. It is the last Sunday. This gives it importance and there are many thoughts which attract our attention. Emotions are awakened that lie dormant at other times Those of you who are living in sin, I beg of you come to Calvary this Sabbath morning of the old year and lose them. God is faithful and first to forgive us of our sins. He says: 'I will cast them behind my back and remember them no more.' Let us take Him at His word. Come unto Him and be saved. It has been
WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH
said, if it were possible for the dying year to speak to us, it would say: Forget the things which lie behind, and reach forward to the things which are before, for you shall see greater things than any which your eyes have yet beheld." Dr. Brown was also the preacher at the junior church services. His sermon subject was "Looking Backward and Forward." Church school, convened at 2 o'clock.
At 4 p. m., J. C. Price Lyceum was held. The program was under the direction of Mrs. Bertha DesVerney. She presented "The Prince of Judah," a sacred cantata, with readings by Pounds and Herbert. Those taking part were Johnetta Green, Eliza Steele, Marie Forrester, Vermaed McFadden, George E. Brown, Oscar Brooks, Charles Haynesworth, Elsie Jones, Mrs. Roper, Theresa Bacon, Anna Severy, Edith Shaw, Josephine Jones and Mr. Woodson.
At 6:30 p. m. 4 special Christmas program was rendered by the Junior Christian Endeavor Society. At 8 o'clock, "The Messiah Comes," a religious pageant, was given by the Christian Endeavor Society of Mother Zion Church. Mrs. Elva A. Gordon is president and Mme, Leah Kate Walker, directress. Those taking part were: Rev. P. A. Price, Estelle N. Foote, Wilson Lyles, George E. Pinder, Alberta Lyles, Carnes McKenney, Theodore Robinson, Jo

St. Mark's M. E. Church
Despite the inclement weather the morning service was well attended. The pastor, Rev. John W. Robinson spoke from the subject, "Where is Thy God?" The sermon was very impressive in which he told of the tendency, of many people to seek relief when in distress, by resorting to drink, profanity and false pleasures, instead of in prayer. He further stated that too often the older people of today take the lead in sinful pleasures and lure the youth to destruction instead of setting the example of piety and clean living. Rev. Willis A. King was the pulpit guest in the evening and spoke from the subject, "Experiencing God." Next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock Bishop Francis McConnell will be one of the principal speakers at the meeting held under auspices of the N. A. A. G. P.
Revival services will continue three weeks, beginning the first Sunday in January.
Upon Baptist Church
teaching the Christmas season
we have had very interesting
services. We closed our fiscal year
with much success. We raised
$35,043.86 for education, church
support, and mission. The Membership Society raised $1,764.00 and spent $1,650 to aid the sick and distressed and $123 for the Poor Samts Fund.
On Thursday evening we had
our Community Tree. We spent
$512 which was donated by friends
for the poor children. We gave
clothes, shoes, rubbers, candy and
fruit to 700 children of the
Community and 150 dinners.
The Sunday School was well attended. 11 a. m. the choir, directed by Miss Freeman rendered excellent song service. Due to the rain, not many people were present. Pastor Sims preached. Subject: "Following The Star." Mrs. Frances Green presented a very pleasing program in the B. Y. P. U. Following this, they had election of officers. 8 P. M. Pastor Sims preached a special sermon "Burying The Devil" The attendance was very large. Offering for the day amounted to $670.34.
Refuge Church of Christ
Public Bible Class was held in the Church Chapel. The local Missionaries conducted the services prior to the Bible Class on the evening of Monday, December 23. The pastor taught an interesting lesson from the book of Psalms. The human experiences in the Psalm was the subject taught by the pastor. Questions were asked and answered after the lesson. The Junior Church conducted the services on Christmas mith. A beautifuliJ program was rederied by the junior choir under direction of Ernesth H. Gantling. Impressive Christmas carols were sung before the program. The Birth of Jesus Christ was rehearsed in the melody of songs. A large crowd came out to the program.
Thursday, December 26, the Sunday school presented its members with a beautiful Christmas tree. The annual Christmas pageant was held also. The play was conducted by Mrs. C. Beane. A huge crowd came out to witness the Annual Christmas presentation. From beginning to the end the actors of the play attributed their share in making the pageant a pronounced success. Friday, December 27, was devoted to fasting and praying. Friday has been a day of fasting and playing on the part of the church since its beginning. Elder W. G White, one of the National evangelists of the Church of Assembly, preached a short but interesting sermon. The sick were prayed
for after the sermon.
The all-night prayer service began at midnight Saturday, December 28. It closed at 6 a.m. Sunday morning. Six glorious hours of traveling and incessory prayer.
The sun-rise services were led by Deacon Goodman and others. Beginning at sun rise and ending at 8 a.m., this prayer meeting is held for the benefit of those who unable to attend the all night services. Frequently requests for prayer come in from various parts of America.
The inclement weather failed to keep back the crowd from the services Sunday morning. The pastor preached on faith, and its value in the great plan of salvation. He said that faith was a higher faculty than reason and that more miracles in regard to divine healing would be wrought if more faith was exercised. He mentioned the fact that faith was a real substance that has' built homes, rounded and framed man kind for the duties of life, and lastly preparing him for life eternal.
The Sunday school held its various classes immediately after the morning services. Issa Hill, the Sunday school superintendent, reported that the number of students was unusually large for a rainy day and as last Sunday.
The Guild, one of the Church Auxiliaries, presented a beautiful pageant of the Birth of Christ The play was well acted and the members are to be highly commended for their support of the program.
The sudden shift of the weather Sunday evening brought out a large crowd. The morning chorus and the evening chorus combined sang at the evening services, making approximately 50 voices. A beautiful spectacle on both sides and of the church rostrum.
The pastor-preached from St. Mark, 4:26-29. He likened the span of human life as a seed cast into the ground. In the morning it grew up," at noon day it flourished, in the evening at harvest time it was cut down and withered. He impressively portrayed how the life of the individual swiftly passed by and how one was soon gone and forgotten. All are welcome to our church. Visitors and strangers warmly greeted. The Refuge Church of Christ of the Apostolic Faith, 52-54-56 West 133rd street.
St. Paul Bapt. Church
On Xmas morning members of the Praying Band held a praise service in the church for those who felt the urge to greet their Master on the commemoration of His birthday.
Several departments of the Sunday school gave Xmas parties to their members on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. According to reports a good time was had by all, with singing, games, story telling and refreshments.
The last Sunday in 1929 was rather dreary on the outside, but within St. Paul, there was thanksgiving and joy for the successful completion of another year's work. The day's program was filled with good things although there were comparatively few to receive.
The pastor preached an illuminating sermon on "Knowing Christ." Among other things, he said that we know Christ through the power of His resurrection. Our hope for resurrection, indeed for immortality, rests in the survival power of the divinity of goodness within us, which urges us to develop the utmost in our spiritual lives. Then we know Christ through the pain and suffering He endured for us. We endure suffering and fight sin because of the agony Christ was willing to go through for us.
The newly elected officers of the Sunday-school were installed by the pastor at 1:30. Mrs. Moore, the superintendent, with an efficient corps of workers, promised a year of prosperity and more comprehensive work. Rev. W. H. A. Booker made a short address on "Aims and Methods of Church School 'Work.' In the evening, Rev. C. A. Webber of Buckingham, Va., preached a helpful sermon on "Faithfulness." He is in New York visiting his children, Mrs. Joe. Brown, Clarence Webber, and William Webber, who are members of St. Paul. The choir rendered exceptionally good music at both morning and evening services.
Olivet Baptist Church
There was a large attendance at the morning service of M. Olivet Baptist Church, Sunday, December 29. The Rev A A Corpnew prescheduled a very inspiring wronn from Matthew 22:42; subject, "What think ye of Christ?" The Philatite Bible Class held an interesting session. They finished studying the life of Moses.
difficulties." Those who heard Dr. Clark were filled with inspiration and felt helped for having come through the inclement weather.
Dr. Clark enjoys the reputation of being a very effective pastor, and a safe and, sane leader. He has served some of the most prominent churches in our connection, including Israel Metropolitan Church, Washington, D. C.; Mothies Liberty, Jackson Tenn.; and the great Bold Street Church, Dallas, Texas. The last named church was built during his pastorate, and is considered by many the best church building in the State of Texas.
Members and friends of Williams Institutional Church are looking forward to large attendance because of the excellent services anticipated from our new pastor.
The Missionary Society presented a unique program last Sunday, at 4:30, Mrs. Agnes Hampton Lillard was mistress of ceremony, Mrs. Anna M. Percival, acting secretary, presented a beautiful descriptive scripture reading. The president, Mrs. Anna Burns; gave us some inspiring words of comfort.
A Great Watch Night Service was Aranged for Tuesday night. Dr. Clark will speak at both services next Sunday. All members are urged to attend. Friends cordially invited to Williams Institutional and receive the -great blessing-

B. Y. P. U. had an interesting program. It was Junior Day.
The Dorcas Missionary Circle held a praise service at 4 o'clock. At the evening service, instead of a sermon, the choir rendered its Christmas music, Chorus, "Why buy my sheep?" Chorus; choir solo by Miss-Pauline Ray; chorus, "Mazareth," choir; Maurice Hunter, wearing Egyptian costume, rendered a sketch, "The Wise Men from the East," assisted by the choir, who carried candles and hummed "Silent Night"; chorus, "The First Noel," choir; contralto Mrs. W. Mayes; chorus, "Hail the solo, 'He shall feed his flock.' Mrs. W. Mayes; chorus; "Hail the Light," choir; Handel's "Messiah" by choir. David Norman was master of ceremonies, and L. F.

On Monday evening December 30, the Christmas tree for the Sunday school and a program was recreated. The Philathea Bible Class gave a Christmas token to the pastor, Rev. W. P. Hayes.
Emanuel A. M. E. Church
The Junior church was well attended Sunday morning at ten o'clock. The pastor, Rev. Henry Nelson, delivered a beautiful lesson, story in keeping with the Christmas season. The junior choir, under direction of Mrs. Mamie Jones, was out in full and rendered special music.
At the eleven o'clock hour the pastor, Rev. D. Ward Nichols, preached to a splendid congregation. In spite of the terrible down pour of rain and snow the auditorium was well filled. Dr. Nichols preached a most helpful sermon, explaining how we may not understand God's reason for certain things at the time they happen but if we are patient and have faith we shall know some day.
Among many others we were indeed glad to see Dr. J. F. Mark, who left us in the fall to take the position as dean of Theology at Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Fla. Dr. Mark has been called here to the bed side of his wife, who is very ill in M. Sinai Hospital. We pray for her speedy recovery.
The Sunday school held its regular session at three o'clock. All departments were well attended and much was gained from a review of the lessons for the quarter.
On next Sunday the Primary Department will hold its annual promotion exercises. There are many little tots looking forward to going up stains to the intermediate department. A splendid program has been arranged.
At the evening service, Richard B. Harrison, dramatic reader, rendered most excellently "Diana of the Ephesians." Mr. Harrison is a most remarkable reader and he held his large, congregation"spell bound by his power.
Our revival began on Tuesday night of this week, which was also "Watch Night," and will continue for three weeks. The Rev, Miss Martha Keys of Kentucky will conduct the revival. Come and hear her. Bring a sinner with you. All are welcome.

FATHER BERRY TALKS .ON MUSIC
In furtherance of its plans for cultural commmunity development,
the Musical Art Forum of Orange, N. J., meeting, in the music studio
of Wilson Lamb, Metropolitan Life building, Main street, presented
the Rev. Father Lewis H, Berry, rector of St, Philip's P. E. Church,
Newark, to a selected audience of invited guestsyon Sunday afternoon,
December 29, at S o'clock, in an illuminativey discussion of “The
Meaning of Music.”
Father Berry treated his subject from thesviewpoint of an emo-
tuonal and spiritual devotee, emphasizing these as of greater import-
ance than a-purely technical exhibition. Time-limitations made it im-

at a future assembling of the Forum,
Miss Lulu Hill was hostess for the afternoon, with Mr. Nabors
serving as master of ceremonies. In addition to her musical activi-
ues as a member of the Wilson Lamb Ensemble, Miss Hill has also
taken up the art of china painting, and she had on exhibition a tea
set which she had decorated in a most artistic manner.
The musical program was given by the Wilson Lamb Male En-
semble, a-quartet of white singers who are studying with Mr. Lamb,
and who, as a mark of appreciation for the work he is doing, asked
permission to use his name for their organization. Members of the
quartet are Frank Murtha, first tenor; David Lewis, second tenor;
John Caitney, baritone, and Clyde" Emmoys, basso. Heard for the
second time by this reviewer, the group exemplified considerable pro-
gress, with a smoothness and solidarity of tone production which adds
much to the attractiveness of its work.
In addition to the ensemble, each of the singers gave solo offer-
ings, and again there was a notable improvement noted. On the occ
sion of the first hearing of this group it was noted that the basso,
Mr, Emmons, was most pleasing. On this occasion it must be said
that he shows a ripening of powers which brings him nearer to a
mastery of -his vocal efforts, and there must be added to the roll the
name of Mr, Cairney, baritone, for the excellent development he: has
attained. -
Mr. Murtha is working hard to curb certain inequalities in his
voice, x high; natural tenor, and has every reason to be encouraged
to continued effort. Mr. Lewis is slightly handicapped by reason of
the fact that his work prior to becoming a member of this group was
that of a first tenor, and these vocalistic changes are not made, in a
hay.
The ladies served a delightful. tunch, and the guests enjoyed an
hour of social communing.

Whether the volume of passenger business done by the railroads during Christmas week will be put on the credit side of their ledger, when compared with that of former years, is problematic. Prom. unofficial reports and surface observations, it will not. There is, however, nothing conjectural about which side of the ledger the redecs, the dinning car waiters and the Pullman porters will chalk their earnings as the result of the recent Yuletide travel.
Not since the late war have the lamentations of this gentry, whose kiteson come wholly and in part from the generosity of those who travel, been so generally identical regarding Christmas travel as they were during the season just past. No matter where one went and of whom one inquired, the information was practically the same—Christmas business was too bad; and that descriptive phrase wasn't used in the same sense that it is used on Lenox and Seventh avenues.
Just how penurious Christmas travel was to the members of the muscle fraternity was evinced by the redecs at both the Grand Central and the Pennsylvania Stations. These luggage "toters", would leave Pullmans and day coaches with expressions which plainly told their tale. At the Grand Central, one of those who has grown bent, as well as gray, in carrying bags to and from trains, when asked how was he faring with his customers, emitted a sound that was somewhat akin to a moan, and cried: "They are tight, fellow, tight as a baseball cover".
Dining car waiters sang their plains and the melody was of the same refrain. One veteran of the Pennsylvania dining car department said he had served thirty-five passengers between Altoona and New York on Christmas Eve and his tips for the trip tipped exactly 5 12 cents per passenger. No New York Central waiter could be found who had made such a record for tip paucity, but many were seen who declared that the tipping was punk for Christmas time.
And the Pullman porters who were interviewed on the subject, made one think of the Wailing Wall in Palestine, so profound were their lamentations. Punk, too bad, rotten, fierce, worst ever, were merely few of the adjectives employed to describe the penury of the travelers who had ridden during the week. One sleeping car veteran declared it was the poorest Christmas for tips he had experienced in the twenty years he had been Pullman portering. "The people I carried either didn't have the money to give or they decided to put what they had under lock and key for fear another Wall Street hurricane was coming," he added, with a laugh.
Although the latter statement was made in jest, the expression had more truth to it than humor, and perhaps accounted in a large measure for the conditions of which the tip takers were complaining. It is not too far-fetched by any means to opine that the Wall Street blowup had considerable effect on the poverty of the past season's travel, as a upletide scene and as a historical reminder-of the development of the modern Pullman sleeper.

This idea is gained from the "M" which the Pullman Company distributed to Christmas. Being feature of the card was a picture of the car.

A Pullman sleeper is complete without the violet porter, notwithstanding that the first Pullman without a porter. The Pullman of seventy years ago is in as it will share any attention today. How often a Christmas card was ingeniously appraisal reminder of the development of the moon. Pullman sleeper.
Seventy years in the life of anything mean a change, which is to be expected, especially in those things which are improved by the mere employment of brains and mechanism. But in the three score and ten life of the Pullman car it hasn't been simply a change—it has been a metamorphosis. This idea is gained from the "Merry Christmas" cards which the Pullman Company distributed to its traveling patrons on Christmas.
The striking feature of the card was a picture of the first Pullman sleeping car. To the top of the card was a Yuletide wreath, in the center of which were the words, "The First Pullman Christmas, 1659"
Comparing the Pullman sleeper of today with the one in the picture is like comparing Noah's Ark with the Mauretania, or any other ocean going liner. As a matter of fact, the first car child of the late Pullman wizard wouldn't look as well lying besides a 1929 Pullman as would a freight caboose standing alongside of Paul Block's $175,000 private car. The interior of the old Pullman was only to be guessed at, but the comparison there may be pictured as being similar to the exterior comparison.
The only feature that gave the old car a touch of modernity was the dress of the ladies who surrounded the car. These being attired in the fashion of that day, and is a style of dress, which from all indications, will shortly be the vogue again for ladies. But, in respect to that, we say, heaven forbid! Those long skirts dragging the ground do not present the chic appearance of their short sisters.
A missing feature of the picture was the porter, that is the ebony hue porter. The stepping box was shown, but the lady passengers were being assisted off the car by a white-face attendant. Today the picture of no Pullman sleeper is complete without the white or blue coated Negro porter, notwithstanding that the first Pullman sleeper was operated without a porter.
As a picture, the Pullman of seventy years ago is interesting, but that is as far as it will share any attention today. However, the idea of nothing to on a Christmas card was ingeniously appropriate, both as a historical reminder of the development of the modern Pullman of the modern Pullman sleeper.

Now that Christmas has come and gene we show up our friends from out of town to see the Christmas cigars given out here.
We take great pleasure in an encouraging return to our service to H B Stilley and we hope he will make sure I feel at home as he is all the many porters who will be in the district.
We regret to say that some of our posters - sent 'Christmas cards from Mr. Sample and have not paid for porters who bought Christmas cards from Mr. Sample and have not paid for same for dare will kindly do so as 'Christmas' as each porter should know that Mr. Sample and Instructor Reid 'are unable to, for furnish Christmas cards on their salaries for porters.' Of course we all know that Mr. Sample is a little absent minded but you should remember that if he doesn't remember you got the cards. God does.

Nyack, N. Y.-John Jackson, Jr., has returned from A. and T. College, Greenboro, N. C. He and his mother spent the holiday season in Montelair, N. J. One of the outstanding affaires of the Christmas season was a dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. C. Johnson, Miss Hattie May Johnson and Fred Scott. Among the guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Oliver, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sisco, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. William Climax, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tansly, Mr. and Mrs. Fercil Milton, Miss Florence Matthews, Miss Margaret Farmer and a host of other friends. C. Johnson was unable to take part in the affair. Rev. Medley of Cornwall, N. Y. was the weekend guest of Mr. and Frank Gray. Miss Rhoda Harris entertained as weekend guests, Miss Lucy Wilson of Jamaica City, L. Robert Clark of Cincinnati, D. C. Givahn of Washington, D. C.
Mrs. Sadie Thompson had a Christmas 'dinner and among her guests, besides the family, were: F. and Mrs. Floyd of Hackensack, N. J.; Mrs. and Mrs. Searcott of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Mrs. R. Garner of Pessac, N. J.; and Mrs. Owens of New York City also Mrs. B. Hunter and Miss C. Thompson of New York City. A pleasant day was spent by The Misses Dorothy and Bronnetta Blount spent the weekend at the department; the other is Agent Jackson Brown, head of the commissary department in the New York district. It is needless to say anything about the efficiency of these two Pullmanites, for their length of years as chief of their departments tells the story.
My, oh my, but aren't some of these porter wises? Last week a certain porter thought about a friend of his who runs to Canada (porters running to Canada are never at a loss for friends these days). So, he visited the Montreal express at the Grand Central one evening during that period, expecting to find this friend. Or if he wasn't due out, one of the boys he knew would do him the little favor he had in mind. As he wended his way through Pullman after Pullman, not one of the porters on the twelve-car train did he know; that is, he didn't know any well enough to request this little favor. "What is the idea of all the new men? Have all the old men on this train resigned from the service?", he asked the conductor. "No," answered the conductor, but they have resigned from running to Montreal during Christmas week."
"Oh, I see," said the porter, "I see."
Harry, "Rich" Brooks, the sage and music lover of Yonkers, was seen on Lenox avenue a few days since looking the picture of health and conteniment. If you are one of those who are able to discuss music intelligently and really enjoy hearing it thus discussed, you will find Harry an interesting person to meet.
It is funny how false rumors will gain such rapid momentum in so short a space of time, while truth will pause and tarry at every step of the way. For instance, there was the rumor that Tommy Rahming was discharged, and it traveled so fast that five days after it started some friend out in San Francisco wanted to know if that was a fact. Well, no it is not. Tommy is still to be seen in Pullman uniform, which he always keeps carefully pressed. But some of his friends do admit that Tommy has the gods on his sides.
The Advance Century, one of the latest of the New York Central's fleet of deluxe trains, wasn't much of a paying proposition to either its operator or to the porters who went out on it on Christmas Day. The train left the Grand Central for Chicago with nine passengers. The Twentieth Century Limited leaving later did a little better, having more than twenty passengers. It is difficult to tell which object, "West Indian", Johnson likes better, his home or the Empire State Express, judging from the solicitude which he portrayed a few mornings ago regarding whether his car on that train was correctly set up, although it was his off day. "The Empire, to him, is like the alim girl in the ad-she wins.

Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT for Constipation Indigestion, Biliousness
Passaic, N. J.
Constipation Often Causes Slickness
"About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G. O'Fordersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I was given it when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. I have used Black-Draught frequently for 10 years, and I am still guilty of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught every week, and I have me of diziness, tightness in the chest and backache.
"By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all druggists.
Saturday, December 21, was a surprising success. A neat sum was realized and this helped to provide Christmas cheer for 50 boys at a dinner Monday evening, December 23. Community songs and speeches were enjoyed.

Rub Gently and Upward Toward the Heart as Blood in Veins Flows That Way
Many people have become despondent because they have been led to believe that there is no remedy that will reduce swollen veins and bunches.

five years ago when the immutable I. Thomas Fortune was its matchless editor. It was a gift of oracle. In its columns the youthful DuBois first expressed himself, and Mr. Fortune gave him encouragement. Not another paper of our group has exercised the tremendous influence exercised by, The New York Age. And what is more, it is still a great paper, and destined to remain so. Yes, there are other great weaklies and weeklies.
The "Omaha Bee-News," one of the Hearst Newspapers, of December 21st published the following editorial. "Chicago opera authorities have decided that 'Othello was merely a sunburned Caucasian, which will do away with the extensive meaning of 'blackmoor.' should that decision get general approval. However, there is reason for it, for the Moors were, the descendants of Gotha and Arabs, neither of which races came down from Ham.' This reminds us of the explanation of the black picture of King Tut. When Howard Carter, the Egyptologist, found King Tut's picture, he remarked: "the oddity of its blackness, and concluded that it had been caused by exposure to the sun. This is the usual propaganda of the lighter races that seek to make all black men who have achieved greatness something other than black. Here, however, the Bee is most unfortunate because the Arabs are of a distinct Negroid strain.

Special emphasis, according to the proposed program, will be placed upon the teaching and research aspect. For a number of years Negro physicians and nurses have suffered from the lack of opportunity 'to pursue graduate and research work.' Edwin R. Embree, president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, which has contributed largely to the project, along with the Rockefeller Foundation and other Funds, speaking to a group of prominent business and professional men at a luncheon held Monday, pointed out that the interest in developing hospitals for Negroes was one of the most important phases of the work of the Rosenwald Fund.
