Dr Williams, a native Augustah, was a student at Tuskegee Insti- tute under the late Dr. Booker T Washington. Graduating from that school he entered upon the study of pharmacy and medicine at Me- harry Medical College Nashville. After completing these courses, he came back to Augusta and beian 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.

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. About 5 a. m. Christmas Day Schwartz was returning from work along the waterfront near Jefferson street. He slipped on the ice and fell into the water. Patrolman Franchini was on duty and heard his cries for help.

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.

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.

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." Zeta Phi Beta Sorors Meet In Nashville Nashville Penn — Twenty-even Chapters were represented here in the 10th annual Boule of the Zeta Pl. Beta Sorority which met December 28.

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.

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.

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. PAGE THREE 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 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 mob in the state of Kentucky selected this solemn festival to take a man from a county jail, perforate his body with fourteen bullet holes and leave him to die in the snow. All of the parties concerned, mob, and victim alike, were white men. If it had been a black man, the mob would-probably not have been satisfied with mere murder, but would have had to make a holocaust of the killing by burning their victim. Now, what were the conditions that led supposedly civilized individuals, however 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 opportunity 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 plea of killing in self-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 the 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 burning of black men for over a quarter of a century, it exacted the penalty of such indulgence by directing its fatal effect regardless of the color of its victim. Continued disregard for law and contempt for the slow processes of the courts have left their mark on every community where lynching has been allowed to go unpunished. The practice of lynching black men has bred communities of murderers 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. The great number of wage earners who are holding down jobs of varied kinds, in all sorts of capacities, need to take their part in the business world as a matter of serious moment. With the increase of unemployment, which was noted during the past few months of the year past, there is liable to be a sad disparity between the number of available jobs and those seeking employment. It therefore behooves those who hold a wage earning position of any kind to exercise increased care in holding it down. If it should happen to be in the postal service, the holder of it should not have too many demerit marks for lateness. Entertainments and relaxation are a part of life, but late hours at night should not be indulged in to the extent of interfering with the following day's work and diminishing the efficiency of the worker. Anti-lynching legislation is needed to protect the South from the lust for mob murder, which it has suffered to grow beyond its control. AMERICAN FAIRPLAY. Most Americans pride themselves upon possessing the spirit of fairplay, especially in the matter of sports. In fact, this quality has been vaunted as something peculiar to the races which claim to be of Nordic or Anglo-Saxon origin. While there have been occasions where this claim was open to dispute, and rank discrimination or sharp practice has been the lot of the outsider, there are times when there seems to be a popular feeling in favor of the under dog, especially if his upset has been brought about by irregular methods or too close a decision. This innate fairness of the American public when not swayed by prejudice, has been shown by the popular reaction to certain discriminations in the athletic field based entirely on the color line. The more recent of these untoward incidents was the action of the United States Lawn Tennis Association in barring two young players because they were of the Negro race. This action was taken after their entries had been received for the national junior indoor tournament at the Seventh Regiment Armory. Domestic or factory service also demands a high degree of efficiency on the part of the workers, and those who seek openings in these lines must not only fit themselves for the technical part of their task but be prepared to keep up the pace required. Employers of domestic service are being brought to realize that this kind of work should be put upon a more systematic basis, both as to limiting the hours of work and requiring a certain amount of training on the part of the workers. This has gradually brought about a class of trained domestic workers, who maintain their own homes and go to their places of employment for stated hours to perform the duties required. This has evolved a higher grade of workers at increased pay and given this kind of work a higher status which it deserved. The securing of more employment for members of the race in factories and stores should be among the prime objects This discrimination drew a pointed protest, not only from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People but also from the president of the New York Tennis Association, Arthur E. Francis, in which he told the United States Tennis Association some plain truth, as follows: "The reason given is un-American, unsportsmanlike, narrow-minded and shortsighted and will bring down a just and long continued of the Urban League to be pursued through practical lines with a well defined program of action. This organization was primarily formed for this purpose, which still retains its importance as a means of bettering urban conditions for Negroes. It is the particular job of the Urban League to do this work and the organization should devote all its energies to this end. By so doing it would not only justify its existence as a means of social uplift, but give renewed force to its original plea—not for alms, but for opportunity. protest from the fair-minded teams fans of this country and the world." (This recalls the popular reaction to the exclusion of a New York University football player from a game with the University of Georgia team, on account of his color, through what was called a gentlements agreement between the coaches of the two teams. Not only was this exclusion of the player resented by a protest of the New York students association, but the newspapers and the public condemned this citing to Southern color prejudice. There have been other occasions, especially in the field of athletics, where the spirit of fairplay has prevailed over the tendency toward racial intolerance and discrimination. COMING OF GENERAL SHUTS. The approaching visit of General Jan C. Smuts to this country has again directed attention to a South African leader, who has been acknowledged as one of the outstanding statesmen of the Southern Hemisphere. First coming to notice in this country as a military leader of the Boers, he afterward helped to turn their defeat into victory by his political prestige as a governor of the territory conquered by the British. He was prominent among the British colonial governors gathered in London during the world war, where his opinion was given great weight. There is still room for the spread of this spirit of fairplay among Americans, especially when it comes to the question of race and color. The silence of the student body and authorities of the City College, in view of the barring of one of its best tennis players, is disappointing. OUTLOOK FOR THE NEW YEAR With the starting of a new calendar and the relegation of the old one to the trash. basket, it is the custom, to take a mental inventory of the ups and downs of the twelve months, elapsed and make new resolutions for the present. Frequently, cause for encouragement is to be found in the ground gained during the past year and inspiration given for renewed effort in the future. The thoughtful observer is inclined to point out the reasons apparent for past failures and to draw lessons for a change of tactics in seeking further advancement, whether it is to be made along material or spiritual lines. But it is in his interpretation of interracial relations that General Smuts assumes the greatest importance for Americans, especially those of the darker race. Since the former South African premier has been out of office, it would appear that he has become more liberal in his attitude upon race relations. In His Rhodes Memorial lecture, recently delivered at Oxford University, England, he deprecated the "unhappy attempts to introduce a color bar in South Africa, and he stated that no statutory barrier of that kind should be placed on the Native who wishes to raise himself in the scale of civilization, nor could it be maintained for long against the weight of modern public opinion." In gathering momentum for further efforts, especially along economic paths, that being the outstanding need of the times, it has been suggested that particular 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 stores is singled out as a most important development of modern business. It is therefore necessary to secure employment for members of the race in these establishments, which cater to the needs of our people in so many localities. This has been done to a large extent in Chicago, through an intensive campaign supported by those customers who contribute to the success of this form of retailing. It is also said to be the conviction of General Smuts that "as a worker the white man should be able to hold his own in competition with the Native and that industrial as distinguished from territorial segregation would be impracticalble and an offence against the modern conscience." As this industrial segregation of the Natives was one of methods proposed to keep them a downtrodden race, by barring them from any of the skilled trades and condemning them to labor as serfs, the importance of General Smuts' prosecution may be estimated. The next thing would be to establish a system of chain stores manned and operated by members of the race, in such localities where adequate support might reasonably be anticipated. The organization of the colored grocers and other business men of Harlem into a cooperative group was a step in this direction, which should work out increased business and a greater measure of success for all those combining their efforts toward a common end. The starting of new business enterprises should be stimulated and encouraged on the part of those who possess or can supply the proper equipment of capital and experience. This would increase the opportunities for employment and furnish an incentive to the youth who desire to enter upon a business career. Unfortunately or not, General Smuts is now out of office in South Africa, but he is not without influence and he may be able to do more to ameliorate the harsh conditions under which the Natives are now laboring, than when he bore the responsibilities of government. During his stay in America General Smuts will make several public addresses in which he will doubtless shed much light on past and present conditions in the part of Africa where Boer and Briton have united in oppressing the Native population. A DIRECTOR'S DILEMMA. King Vidor is the name of the director who was responsible for the production of the all-Negro film, "Hallelujah." Mr. Vidor patted himself on the back after the production of this vocal and pictorial representation of what he considered Negro life, regardless of what Negro audiences may think of it, and considered he had done a good job. By comparison with previous films depicting the darker 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 exhibitors did not want it, and it seemed likely that its showing would arouse little but opposition. This predicted failure of "Halledujah" is attributed to widespread Southern prejudice, which refuses to recognize the Negro on the stage or film in any other role than that of a minstrel or low comedian. The Negro is not supposed to possess the ordinary virtues and vices of common humanity, or if the race has them, the white audiences of the South do not care to acknowledge their existence. Mr. Vidor who is himself a Southerner by birth, had thought to get around this matter of racial prejudice by his manner of treatment on the film. He thought he had removed the greatest objection possible by using no white people in the cast and so avoiding any comparison of the two races, and not showing the Negroes involved in any activities of the whites. He sought to show the black man building his own life along lines different from the customs of the whites. As Mr. Vidor pointed out to a writer on the New York World, he particularly avoided, showing Negroes "aping the manners of white civilization. Thus we see no Negroes attending college, or wearing evening clothes, or riding in trains, or going to the theatre." It was personal circumstances of our "colloquious pretensions to white man's culture," since the director hoped to meet the Southwestern's sensibilities. We can readily understand some of the defects attributed to his picture by critics among the race he sought to represent: under such restraints. Mr. Widow's estimate of the white man's culture is not so comprehensive as one might suppose, but his ideas of culture are probably limited to film purposes. He might be interested to learn that modern scientists hold that favorable environment and a mixture of cultures, through commerce and war, have been the cause of the rise of dominant peoples.

For many small cultures were achieved in this country among its original Indian populations until their migrations formed different tribes together. This close contact of many cultures is responsible for the rise of any people to greatness. The ancient civilizations of Asia and Africa possessed a culture that may have surpassed anything in existence today. So long as the white South remains closed to culture from without, it will continue to be sterile and retrogressive. However we cannot charge that fact to Mr. Vidor, as he did his best to show the South another culture than the one it knew and tried hard not to offend its sensibilities. His disappointment at his failure is but natural. January 4 seems to be the best birthday of the week, and, these felts will be able to accomplish much in the birthday.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS Always dry umbrellas OPEN and keep them tightly rolled up, as this helps to cut the cover in the seams. When through, constant wear, the heat of gas over, power or curl, bellow, yield. Recalling the fact that Congressman Hissen of Illinois and his wife created quite a stir a few years ago by their support, off propaganda to remove the Negro or to Seigneurie troops from Germany, the Chicago Sunday Herel said: Now omitted the white grenze of Coblenz, Germany, close upon' the heels of the evacuation, of that district by the white American troops, with, grieve charges of wholesale rape of the German women and girls by the white American soldiers and charges of roughhouses of officer, whose alleged vandalisms in their beautifully appointed quarters beggars description. We would suggest that Congressman Britten of Illinois now bring to the attention of the House of Representatives the crimes; the view the unappealable horrors alleged against the white women of Coblenz and the alleged acts of the white Army officers and demand an investigation of these charges; that will either disclose their substantiation or their falsity. Mrs. Britten may also further display her interest in the moral welfare of the white women and girls of Coblenz by putting out propaganda that will doublest interest the German-American citizens in their proposed investigation as well as the American Legion of Daughters of the American Revolution, the Daughters of the Confederacy, the Church of Federation, the KK Klux Klan and all good white citizens that desire decorum, morality and discipline in the United States Army and Navy when serving in white countries at home or abroad. If Congressman Britten and his wife were sincere in their efforts a few years ago to protect white German girls and women from the alleged ravages of black troops they will certainly not let stand unrefuted evidences of atrocities by white American troops in Germany. The heading given to this article by the Bee was, "Chickens Come Home." presumably to roost. The Illinois Congressman has probably lost interest in the matter since it has become "a horse of another color." The Atlanta Independent boldly affirmed that "Farm Relief is a Mismomer," and told its reason for saying so as follows: The President's farm relief panacca will give the farmer no permanent relief. It will largely furnish him an additional opportunity to get into debt from which he will never be able to excavate himself. Too much debt is a dangerous experiment, it matters not whether it is furnished by the Government or private individuals. It is downright sophistry for the politician to insist upon the Government loaning 20 cents per pound in 16 cents cotton; what would become of the Government in the event that the farmers defaulted in the payments of their loans to the Government had to throw all of the cotton cad on the market, and the cotton sold for less per pound than the loan? Who would take the loss, the Government or the farmer, who had collected the 20 cents on cotton whose market values was 16 cents per pound? In the last analysis the tax-payers will have to take the loss. The farmers could never refund the 20 cents loan out of 16-cent cotton. The farmer would quickly let the Government foreclose. The Farm Board in the last analysis is doing nothing except to futility the poor delinquent fruit additional opportunity to go further in debt. How does the Government expect to recover these loans on wheat, corn, potatoes, fruit, vegetables, cotton, fish and pork? To answer this question is to test the soundness of the President's policy. The Independent insists that quantity and quality of production will do more to level prices on farm produce than all the legislation passed by Congress. Discussing the necessity for Negro farmers to cooperate in order to benefit by the Federal Marketing Act, the Norfolk Journal and Guide sd: It seems, however, that in communities where functioning growers' associations already exist, better judgment would dictate that our farmers seek to ally themselves with these organizations rather than attempt to form separate and independent bodies. Only in communities where it is certain that a sufficient number of Negro farmers are active should purely Negro cooperatives ever be undertaken. Doubless the existing organizations will be found to possess already marketing experience, business contact and other valuable assets that would have to be acquired by newly formed organizations. And nor is it doubted that even though the existing associations are, marmed by white farmers, that there will be found in most of them white men willing to be of all possible assistance to the colored members. As Mr. M. M. Lewey, of Jacksonville, Fla., says there can be found in hundreds of Southern communities white and colored farmers who are on the most cordial business relations and between whom exist a spirit of mutual helpfulness. It is this spirit existing not only between white and colored farmers in a large number of instances; but between white and Negroes in various other fields that account in a very large measure for the progress of should be poured on the turned edge which can then be patted down flat to the floor. This treatment is said to lengthen the service of the material also. --- the race in the South in spite of the many degreases that beat it in their program; often confuses them who fail to understand some of the very fine friendliness that exists between; the races in this section. That is a feature of the situation that is seldom emphasized and which should be utilized whenever it exists. Atty, Stanley L. Gilson is presenting a case of the Plantation Co., in Walnut Ave., this city, against the local waiters' union (whisky). This company employs all-colored help. The local waiters' union is trying to drive our waiters out of its employ by picketing the place and thus compel the employment of members of the union. This is the face of the fact that the union re-fuses Afro-Americans membership. An anomaly and a plain attempt to deprive those Afro-American waiters, cooks, etc., of the right, as citizens to work for a living, something the common pleas court of this country ruled against in a similar case about three years ago. Mr. Gilson will have no trouble in winning the victory which will again notify organized labor. Locally and generally, the such Ku Klux efforts will not be tolerated in this community and ought not to be in any other. The waiters' union stand against unionizing our waiters and against their employment, though they are willing to join it, has no foundation in fairness, justice or the law, and will not be upheld by our courts or any fair-minded person in this country of the State of Ohio. That is the lesson that the trades unions have to learn all over the country, not only as matter of justice but as a measure of serving their own interests. Commenting on the appointment of Dr. E. Mayfield Boyle of Baltimore as laboratorian (roentgelologist) at the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee Ala., the Baltimore Afro-American said: Dr. Boyle was educated at Howard and Harvard Medical Schools and was for many years a practising physician here, giving up this work several years ago to devote himself to special study of the X-ray. His seal him to put in three years, at the Hospital New York, with shorter, more specialized studies at Fordham, Riverside, Beth Israel Hospitals and City College of New York. With the opening of Provident Hospital in Baltimore, he returned, applied for the X-ray post and was refused. Whereupon he took the civil service tests and led the list of candidates in the U. S. hospital examination. The point is that Dr. Boyle was not sufficiently qualified for his home hospital, but is for a much larger federal institution. Prophets and X-ray experts have no honor in their native cities. The fact remains, however that Provident Hospital promised Baltimore that it would begin with a white staff and as fast as Negro physicians qualified, they would be appointed. This promise has not been kept by Provident Hospital in the case of Dr. Boyle, and a breach in one case easily leads to the inference that the hospital authorities are breaking their word in other cases. Provident Hospital has been habilitated by some local physicians, who subscribed to its campaign and failed to pay. One had turn does not deserve an other. Because some physicians snub Provident, that is no reason why Provident in turn should vent its spleen on Dr. Boyle. The gainers by this turn of events appear to be Dr. Boyle and the Veterans Hospital, while the Baltimore institution bears the onus of a broken pledge and loses a useful addition to its staff. Maintaining that Negro actors have become factors of importance in the progress of the race, the St. Luke Herald of Richmond said: It must be noted here that there has been an astounding evolution of the place occupied by Negroes on the stage. Our lire was, first, that of a clown like, the place of the king's fool to make his majesty laugh. Comedy was our sole stock in store. Today there is a deeded change in the balances of justice for Negroes talented with the gifts music and songs, dances and rhythms, and all the finer arts of the attractive stage. Without doubt the day has come when we are no longer wandering minstrels and comedians making monkeys of ourselves for the pleasure and entertainment of others. Negro leaders and public-spirited citizens should not fail the race at this time when their talents are becoming market matters in such a fine and big way. It is another opening for us to enter and make sale a livelihood and lay up a few dollars, for a rainy day. There are many humble folk among our people who would startle the world with their gifts should some management give them a break. These are they who should not wait for things to happen. They should go out and make them happen quickly as possible. We are sure that a certain inferior class of Negro entertainers will continue to occupy their places on the stage for a long time. But we are just as sure that another army of well-trained artists must be on its way to the front lights. There is an economic side to this evolution of the race in the art of entertainment, which is not to be overlooked. 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.

Duzant, 215 West 140th street 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.

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.

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.

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. Williams Institutional C. M. E. Church Dr. N, W. Clark of Dallas, Texas, our new pastor, was at his best on Sunday morning. He spoke from Luke 19, chapter 1st ten verses; Subject "How to overcome THE PAGE FIVE U. S. LAWN TENNIS BODY REFUSES TO ALLOW COLORED PLAYERS IN JUNIOR TOURNEY Cancels Acceptance and Returns Fee To Gerald Norman Jr. and Reginald Weir Because They Are Negroes Two young Negro tennis players were barred from the national junior indoor tournament which was held last week at the 7th Regiment Armory. TAGE SIX YOU KNOW ME, AL friends that maybe you read in the papers how Coldbill he'd play on me by sitting in the court and blinding him because he said that where all the hatties hit the ball but I cut loose with my first one and had the umpire missing them even I had to slow up a little so he could see to call 'em. Anyway, I win 2 and 1 and wanted to bring in all the outfitters the last couple of innings like Rube Waddell need to only Conele wouldn't let me. I'd have shut them out except Bancroft hit to. There is three or four guys on this ball club Edward Payton Weston could beat running. P.S.—The first good chance I get I'm going to bean Cobb. U. S. LAWN TENNIS REFUSES TO ALLO PLAYERS IN JUNE Cancels Acceptance and To Gerald Norman Jr Weir Because They Two young Negro tennis player from the national junior indo was held last week at the 7th In a letter Robert W. Bagnall, associate secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., wrote to Edward H. Moss, executive secretary of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, it was charged that the sole ground for burning the boys was their color. The letter characterized the tennis organization's action as "unfair, unsportsmanlike and calculated to degrade the sport you profess to cultivate," and said that "patrons or sport in this country do not relish the administration of public contests by a sport of caste and class mobility." The players in question are Gerald F. Norman, captain of the Flushing High School tennis team and said to be that institution's sole representative in the tournament, and Reginald Worr, of the College of the City of New York team, estimated as potential Davis Cup captain by Allan Bask, his coach, with Vincent Richards, won the metropolitan doubles championship in 1919. The entries of both Worr and Norman had been accepted and payment to Davis entrance fees had been received and according to Bagnall's letter, only two team names were missing from the draw as published Sunday, December 22 that it became known they had been excluded. "The team of the present situation," the letter continued, "will become the more pointed when it is known that Mr. Norman is himself tennis coach at the Bryant High School and that some of the white boys he has matched have been admitted and will play in the tournament. Sports Degraded. "If the facts are as stated, and we are told the two colored boys' names were omitted from the draw published at the Sunday newspapers, the action at the United States Lawn Fence Association constitutes an action unfair, unportable and calculated to deviate the sport you profess to cultivate and against which we, as well as many other Americans, white and colored, wish to protest in the strongest terms." Mr. Moss said at the office of the association, 120 Broadway, that the two entries were rejected by the tournament committee, consisting of John J. Tucker, chairman; A. Castle Postle, Herbert L. Bowman, W. Dickinson Cunningham, Benjamin E. O'Brien, Samuel A. Kitchie, Arthur S. Cragan, Richard Jones and Erdman Brandt. The committee, he said, gave no reason for its action. In a telephone conversation with persons in his office, however, it was said that it was "the understanding" at the association's headquarters that the rejection of the two boys was on the ground that they were Negroes. Gerald L. Norman of 11 Juniper street, Flushing, father of one of the boys, made public a letter which he said he had received from Mr. Moss notifying him of the rejection of his son. The letter gave no reason for the association's action, but Norman said that after receiving the letter and after notice, the WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO-BEHW ME? I THOUGHT MY PRIEST ONE WOULD NOT CLEARLY STAND UP TO IT. STRIKE ONE! THAT BALL WAS A MISTAKE OUTSIDE! American New Picture, Inc. his son's name had been omitted from the draw, he called Mr. Moss on the telephone and was informed by him that the "United States Lawn Tennis Association does not permit colored players to participate in national tennis tournaments." Moss's Letter to Norman. Mr. Moss's letter to Norman was read: "Dear Sir. "Voting under instructions of the committee in charge of the National tumor and Boys' Indoor championship tournament of 1929, I am obliged to notify you that the committee has declined your entry in "I am also enclosing herewith your check No. 1760 in the sum of $1 covering your entrance fee" the tumor singles. "Yours sincerely, L. B. MOSS." Norman, senior, telephoned to Mr. Koe, and after having been told that his son was barred because of his color he took the matter up with the Society for the Advancement of Colored People. Wear, the other player in question, said that Bagnall's letter had been written without his knowledge and that Bagnall had never said a word to him about the whole matter. Weir Drops Matter Wear a mother then said it was true that her son's entry had been accepted and that the entrance fees $1 for singles and $1 for doubles—had been returned with a rejection letter similar to that received by Norman. Her son, she said, had never received any official notification that his color was the reason for his disbarment and that after the rejection letter had been received they did not pursue the case any further. She said, however, that her son had already heard at the armory that that was the reason, but they decided not to press the point with the tennis authorities. Louis L. Carruttiers, of 1923 Dean street, Brooklyn, treasurer of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, was asked to comment on Bagnall's letter, said he was not qualified to discuss the case because he was not a member of the committee which passed on their rejection. No Color Line Rules. Mr. Carruthers did say, however that there was nothing, so far as he knew, in the rules of the association, as such, which would disqualify any player on the ground of color. The players in national tournaments conducted by the association, he said, always had been chosen from the members of the various clubs that were constituent parts of the association. He said he did not think there were any Negro members of any of their clubs, but if there were they could not be barred by the association if they had previously qualified as members of the clubs and if clubs should present them as candidates. Moreover, Mr. Carruthers said he undertook that was an important Larry Johnson Is New Colored Menace In Heavy Division Larry Johnson Is New Colored Menace In Heavy Division Larry Johnson, light heavyweight of Los Angeles, Callif, made his debut in New York at Madison Square Garden last Friday night and was jumelately acclaimed as the new colored heavyweight menace by the Nordic press. Johnson scored a knockout victory over Joe Sekya in 1 minute and 46 seconds of a scheduled ten-round bout. He landed a crashing right to the Bohemian's ear which sent him to sprawling to the canvas. The young Californian weighs about 170 pounds and expects to enter the heavyweight division within a year. He is over 6 feet tall and has a splendid build. Wiley Awarded Southwest Football Championship Houston, Tex.-The 1929 football championship of the Southwestern Conference was awarded to Wiley University at the annual meeting of the Conference here on December 21. Early in the season Prairie View entered a protest against the playing Pig Ben Cavil, Wiley's star fullback, on the grounds that he has played four years of college football. It was ruled that an amendment to the constitution in 1928 limiting a player to five years was in force and the protest thrown out. This is Wiley's third consecutive year to win the football title. Carlton Y Five Defeats 135th St. Branch On Saturday night, December 28, the Carlton basketball followers were very much disappointed in the type of game that the boys, from Harlem put up against the Carlton Big Five. The floor work and shooting of Carlton's players were far superior to that of 135th street. The Brooklynites had things their own way from the very start. The first half ended with 135th Street on the lower end of the score having only scored six points while Carlton scored 19. The second half as far as floor work and shooting were concerned was the same as that of the first 135th Street found it hard to handle the Carlton players. Final score—Carlton 30; 135th street—10. Y. M. D. Juniors Trim Spartans. The Spartan team of New York offered very little excitement and competition to the Carlton Young Men's Division junior team on Saturday, December 28. Carlton's team work, although not up to standard completely outclassed that of Spartan. Spartan's defense was very weak, in that Carlton's players were able to break through and score almost at any time. The score at the end of the first half stood Carlton 19:1-Spartans 6. Carlton was able to score 13 points in the second half while Spartan scored 6. Final score 32-12. ton known as the American Laser Tennis Association, composed exclusively of Negroes, and that national tournaments were held under the auspices of that association. He said he had no doubt that white candidates would be barred from participation in these tournaments if they applied, on the ground of color. But as to the merits of the present case he said he was not qualified to answer. The label on your paper gives date of expiration.

Betty Compson, who did such with the towering Russ. He on wonderful work in "On Wijth the two occasions dribbed almost the Show" and "The Great Gabbo" is full length of the court to put in the star. At The New Douglass A strange story of twin brothers who took opposite sides of the law and who are pitted against each other in a struggle for life and death is vividly told and pictured in "Dark Streets," the gripping underworld drama, which will be shown at the New Douglas Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, January 4, 5 and 6. No stranger and more gripping story than this has ever been recorded for the talking screen. "Dark Streets" is noteworthy for many things. The most interesting of these is the fact that it is the first dual role talking picture. Jack Mulhall takes the part of both brothers. They are seen fighting each other and talking to each other—and yet both are enacted by Jack Mulhall. This striking feature is another advanced step made in the art of talking pictures. Beautiful Lila Lee, one of the screen's most bewitching brunettes, plays the role of the cop's sweetheart in "Dark Streets." A triumph of drama and spectacular scenes is "The Viking," the natural color historical drama which will be presented at the New Douglas Theatre on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 8th, 9th and 10th. During its run on Broadway, "The Viking" was received with unstinted praise by all of the newspaper critics and by the thousand of people who paid $3 a seat at it the Embassy Theatre. Around the story of the daring adventurers who came to America long before Columbus was born, it woven a story of romance and drama, which has seldom found its equal in motion pictures. Carlton Big Five Conquers Greenpoint A big victory was won by the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A Big Five on Saturday night. December 21st, when they decisively decired the crack Greenpoint quintet in a regular game played in the Brooklyn and Queens Y. M. C. A. League. By scoring this victory, Carlton turned the tables on all dopesters who thought that Greenpoint would in playing Carlton score their fifteenth straight victory. But that was not to be, for the playmaking they have played before, the team up of George Day, Alton Thompson, Horace Russ, Albert Smith and George McClammy, playAl rounds around the Shamrock tosser headed by the incomparable and wily Hank Greese. As is his custom, Grieve started his second string players, but did not keep them in for the 10 minutes he boasts of, for in three minutes we saw that the Carlton boys were too much. Then the first string men went in but made no appreciable difference, for at the end of the first half Carlton was ahead by 13 points. At the end of the game the score stood 23 to 19. Renaissance Theatre "Night, Parade," an all-talking love drama with Robert Ellis, Aileen Fringle, Hugh Trevor and Dorothy Gulliver, which comes to the Renaissance Theatre for three days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, takes the audience into the ramifications of after-cark deeds along Manhattan's Great White Way. Bizarre settings, beautiful girls, beechanian revels and a thrilling fight prize make "Night Parade" unusually interesting. See and hear the scarlet curtain of big town life ripped wide open in one of the year's great entertaining talkies. "Sweettie" an hilarious extravaganza of campus life with Nancy Carroll, Helen Kanes and Jack Oakie will be seen and heard for four days, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, January 4-5-6-7. Here is an all-talking, singing and dancing sensation, all about prep school boys and girls that is a tonic for the peghungry, a bracer for the music lover. New jazz-mad dances, new catehytes tunes, new comedy gags and a great assortment of real American thrills make this picture a veritable whirlwind of inspiring entertainment. Do not miss one of the biggest funfills and music-feasts ever produced on the spoken screen. At The Lafayette Theatre The famous Whitman sisters and their big company are making their long awarded annual visit to the Lafayette Theatre this week. Never in their long and colorful history have they presented a show which is the equal of the one they are now presenting at the popular Avenue playhouse. The cast presenting this revue is a large one. It includes the well-known and popular Princess Wee Wee, Alice Whitman, who is easily the best woman tap dancer on the American stage, the Ukelele Five, a wonderful quintette of dancers, singers and musicians. Lena Currey, a sweet-voiced soprano and those three masters of fun, Willie "Toot Sweet," "Cut Out" Ellis and "Showby" Holland. The photoplay program includes the all-talking 'mystery melodrama,' 'Blackmail' and a very delightful Vitaphone singing and dancing act with Sunshine Sammy and his talented brothers. Eubie Blake and Broadway Joncs Next Week. Another treat is in store for patrons of the Lafayette Theatre next week. Eubie Blake and Broadway Jones will be seen at the head of an exceptional musical comedy called "The Birth of Syncapation." This is the first time that this popular team is appearing at the Lafayette, their work with the Keith and Shubert organizations having made it impossible for them to rehearse and appear in a show in Harlem. After months of effort, they were able to get a "leave of absence" to gratify their anxiety to appear before the audiences they love best at the Lafayette. Another gorgeous photophony program will be presented together with "Birth of Syncapation." The feature will be the dancing, singing, natural color, spectacle and gripping drama. "Woman to Woman." Betty Compson, who did such wonderful work in "On With the Show" and "The Great Gabbo" is the star. At The Rousevelt three number in The Hollywood Revue, it will be no surprise P. to learn that Miss Davies, has scored a sensational hit in her first full-length talking feature. The picture is called "Marianne" and will be shown at the Roosevelt for four days only starting Friday, January 3. "Marianne" is a romantic drama. It is the story of a pathetic little French girl, who, although she is poverty-streaked tries to make life brighter for the American doughboy in France. It certainly will make life happier for all who see it at the Roosevelt. George Jesel, oodway's favorite singing comedian and original stage star of "The Jazz Singer," has scored a tremendous hit in At The Alkambra Theatre Rollicking, goodnatured. Clara Smith brings a happy New Year to the Alambra Theatre. The fainous record singing star, all beaming with smiles, is brought out again and again in response to the demands of the audience for more of the songs which she has made popular. A group of girls dance the New Year in, and, singers raise their voices in a paen of welcome—and so 1930 gets a cheery start in Harlem. Joe Byrd and Emmett Anthony pop out in comedy sketch, aided by Bebe Townsend and Stanleigh Morrell. There's a dance oddity by two young couples, Jim Lancaster and Artie Cain, Francis Jacobs and Josephine Campbell. "The Lonesome Road," a sort of semi-spiritual, is rendered by Manda Randolph with a fervor that brings several encores. Mary Clemons leads the girls through a grotesque dance. Edgar Hayes and the Night-Hawk Band are on the stage, with saxophone solos by Emmett Matthews and the revue ends with rejoicing all around. "The Line-up," a police play, provides the dramatic contrast. It shows the inside workings of police headquarters, the morning lineup of prisoners who have been gathered up during the preceding twenty-four hours, and the frequent injustices done in the name of the law. Stanleigh Morrell is a brutal police inspector. Thomas Moseley is an innocent victim, and Bebe Townsend is his wife. Al F. Watts is a gangster, and Ted Blackmon a craven "squealer." Hilda Offley is a desperate woman, Artie Cain is a wayward girl, and Josephine Campbell a Swedish cook. The accused man is railroaded almost to the electric chair, when, in a flash, come revelations that lay bare the plot against him and he goes free. The picture feature is "The Hero Lover," shown for the first time uptown. The stars are Stuart Holmes and Barbara Bedford. Next Week's Show. "The Great Trunk Mystery," founded on a famous case that buffled the detectives and police of the entire world, will be the Allamura's drama next week, starting Monday. Old Chinatown with its well-hidden secrets is the background, and the mysterious disappearance of a young and beautiful girl furnishes a thrilling subject. It is the rectal of a crime that never was solved, and never will be. "Here We Are!" will be the fun-and music medley with an abundance of comedians and girls and several novel acts. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER Jimmy Cooper has called off his suit against Gertrude "Baby" Cox and the Immerman Bros. Cooper settled his suit, one against Miss Cox for $1,000, and the other against the Immerman Bros. for $400, for the sum of $1,000. With this consideration, he held the injunction which prohibits Miss Cox from appearing in "Hot Chocolates," so she is back with the show again, and just a big nut as ever. Valada Snow, recently announced by Lew Leslie as one of his stars for his new International Revue, is very rehearsing for opening early in January.

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- possiblbe for the speaker to fully bring out and explain his points of view, but there is a possibility that he will continue the discussion 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. {Martin Santh Mnsie Seton: rT 8 yank Ee Telephone Audubon 8216 omee a DAVIE 'L MARTIN, Director | WILSON LAMB VOCAL STUDIO 108. $2000 ef, flew ort ony FIRST EMANUEL OMURON Ceureeye a 8p me Site ih, Meroe, euleieg eS See EDWIN COATES Aw Ww.

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.

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!

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. By J. T. REID.

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.

Constipation Often Causes Slickness "About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G.

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 Mid-Western Press Bureau Omaha, Neb.-Omaha boasts a Mayor who has been elected more times than any Mayor in a city of its size in America. He is now serving his seventh term as Mayor and in the Spring hopes to be elected to an eighth term. He is a native of Texas. He has been supported very generally, by the Colored voters of the city. About all they have gotten from his administration have been "privileges." Other racial groups who have privileges also have positions.

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.
