CONTRACT FOR LEASING OF FEDERAL PRISONERS TO GA CAMP IS CANCELLED BY DEPT Action Is Taken By Government Following Storm of Protests From Press, Congress and People Washington, D. C.—Following upon the strong protests made by various race organizations, by leading newspapers and citizenry, and by a number of United States Senators and Congressmen, the Department of Justice announced on January 9 that the three-year contract entered into with the Stae of Georgia for the use of 200 Negro Federal prisoners on state roads would be canceled as of March 15. On December 14, just past, the New York World discloses the fact that the contract had been entered into and that 200 Negro prisoners had been transferred from the Federal Prison at Atlanta to convicts camp in Chatham County, near Savannah. A Storm of Protest A storm of protest immediately arose, the policy being denounced as discriminatory since it provided only for the leasing of Negroes. The Department of Justice defended the plan as a means of relieving conession and at the same time allowing the prisoners opportunity for outdoor life under healthy conditions. Senators Wagner of New York and Borah of Idaho, with a number of other Senators, declared it to be a step backwards to the evils of convict leasing days, and as an interference with free labor in the midst of threatened unemployment. Senator Wagner introduced a resolution in the Senate, which was unanimously passed, 'demanding demanding from the department explanation of all facts surrounding this contract, and also questioning its legality. He declared in a speech that no authority existed in law to make such a contract, aside from questions of its wisdom. Congressman Fiorello LaGuardia of New York also challenged the policy and its legality before the House Judiciary Committee on De- mand when Attorney General Mitchell denied the petition, ponderant opinion among Senate and House members was strongly opposed to the policy. Gives No Reason. In announcing the cancellation, the department gave no reason for its action, but it is hinted that protests had made it impossible to maintain morale among the prisoners. The announcement read. "The Department of Justice today announced that the contract recently made for the boarding of certain Federal prisoners in Chatham County, Ga., dated October 16, 1929, will be discontinued on and after March 15, 1930, in accordance with a provision in the contract allowing either party to terminate it on any days' notice. On January 3 a portion of the prisoners at this point' refused to go to jail and it was necessary to discipline three of the prisoners concerned by returning them to Atlanta Penitentiary, an appartment that the inmates are aware of the discussion that has been going on with reference to this camp and it is likely that the morale and discipline which ought to be strictly maintained in a camp such as this would be difficult, to preserve. "The department feels justified, therefore, in withdrawing the privilege which it has extended to these men and at the time set they will be returned to the penitentiary. The Bureau of Prisons is transferring 300 men from Atlanta to the inermouth barracks in Leavenworth and this makes it possible to return the prisoners now located at Chatham, Georgia, to Atlanta, providing other arrangements, cannot be made before March 15."

C.—Wide attention has recently been given the rating of Negro colleges throughout the country by the special committee of the American Medical Association. The only state-supported Negro college, in North Carolina to be recognized by the association as prepared to give adequate pre-medical training is the A. and T. College of this city: The Virginia State College for Negroes, at Petersburg, the Southern University, at Baton Rouge, a West Virginia school and one in Missouri complete the list of five state-supported Negro colleges to be given the high rating. A total of 25 Negro colleges throughout the country were rated as adequate for pre-medical training, but 20 of these were church or private institutions. The rating of the American Medical Association is in sharp contrast with some of the state ratings. Colleges rated A by the state are rated in class C by the association. At a recent national meeting of Negro land colleges, of which there are 17 in the country, attention was drawn to the fact that the state has to occupy a more generous measure of support to these institutions. A high official of the government will be deeply concerned since it is contributing heavily to education in the states.

Smuts Makes Comparison of Negro and Ass In Speech to Civil Union at Town Hall In Presence of Large Mixed Audience Gen. Jans Christian Smuts, former Prime Minister of South Africa, and a hero in the Boer War, was quickly called to task by Dr. Robert Russia Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, when, during the course of an address at Town Hall on Thursday afternoon, January 9, the South African described the Negro "as, next to the ass, the most pa The occasion was a meeting of the Civic Forum, and Smuts was speaking on racial problems in Africa, and just prior to this being introduced he had heard the Hampton Institute Quartet sing a group of Spirituals, one of the number being "I ain't a going to study war no more." Then when introduced, the general spoke as follows: "When I heard those four gentlemen singing I heard once more the voice of Africa. It's a great voice, singing contestment amid suffering and amid tragedy. "Most Patient of Animals." "I thought so, please, will you be in South America, and you're in the right black men, making in the right." I found the same point of interest when the word "riding" was the first word to the�,�, as they were marched toward the sea. They are patient animals. The N-groes are, next to the sea, the most patient of all animals." At conclusion of his address, an opportunity was afforded persons in the audience to ask questions from the fibor, and almost immediately Robert Erskine Ely, chairman of the meeting, recognized Dr. Moton, who asked Gen. Smuts to explain why he compared the Negro to an ass. Referring to the visiting statesman's career in South Africa, Dr Moton said: "I felt that South Africa was safer under your Premiership than under that of your successor. However, I am, not here to bring up politics, I know I ought not to say this, and I know that my wife would tell me not to. I wish I did have, patience, but I havent, and the habit has become ingrained in me through my sixty-three years, no, sixty-two and a half years. Dr. Moton Demands Meaning. "But what I want to ask Gen. Smuts is what he meant when he associated the Negro with the jack-ass—I mean the ass. What he meant when he called us docile animals. I do not think he meant it, I almost know he didn't mean it, but on the other hand, we Negroes would leave this hall with a bad taste in our mouths if no explanation were forthcoming. "When he said those words about our being animals, 'next to the ass the most patient animals,' it hurt It cut like a two-edged sword through the heart of every Negro in this audience, and also through some of, the white people. Gen. Smuts, you are a cultured and refined gentleman, but I would like to ask you about those words." Chairman Ely started to offer an explanation, but Gen. Smuts cut him short. Gen. Smuta Explains. "I used those words, Dr. Moton," he replied, "in the spirit of admiration. I have all respect for the patience of the Negro race. I think that it is something that we white people might learn from the Negroes. We would be much happier if we did." In his main address, Gen. Smuts, after reviewing the history of "sleeping Africa," declared that efforts to impose white civilization upon the African aborigine would only result in polls eliciting the native and making him a menace to the rest of the world. "There is a great deal of good in-the African culture and system," said General Smuts. "For one thing, the African is a Socialist All land is owned in common, as are most of the cattle, and each tribe is run by a council of elders and a chief. If you try to break down this system, it is very easy to do so, but it is impossible to substitute a European or any other system in its stead. By doing so you bovishevise the most docile being on the face of the earth, the African Negro, and you make him a menace, to the rest of the world. "Why should we standardize humanity? That may be a fine thing in the United States. You want to make a great nation, and you are succeeding; but you cannot do that with the human race. In Africa you must build on the African foundation. It has been rewarded in hundreds and thousands of years, and we have high respect for any system of time as I have, for all natural facts. Let there be differences in types as long as they are ethically sound." Would Maintain Native System. If the blacks are to be dealt with in a fair and honest manner, he said, the old system must be maintained. It is meant for the African and while certain good things in white civilization should be afforded to him, it is wrong, he maintained to make, "an inferior European" of a native who is justly proud of being an African. "Leave them their villages, their dancing and their songs," he said. "In the past we have gone afray in South Africa. There have been misguided efforts on behalf of governments and missionaries, although I do not in the least wish to condemn the latter, with whom I heartily sympathize, and we now have perhaps millions of Negroes who lost their native attributes and no longer belong to their old tribes. Our system is individualism; theirs is socialism. The result of trying to Europeanize them has caused so many to be lost to their own people." Any change in the African cultural system, General Smuts warned, should be made without violence. The native laborers in the copper mines of Rhodesia and other parts should not be allowed to take his womenfolk and children with him. Let Women Stay Home. "Let them remain in their tribal areas," he urged. "Do not bring them to be contaminated by white civilization, which, after all, is perhaps only an experiment. When we reflect a little on our own foibles, our wars, our tremendous losses of human lives it may not be so fine. At any rate the black soon learns the vices of white civilization and they soon degrade him." A large and representative audience heard the address, with many of the leading colored citizens in the audience. Dr. Moton occupied the highest seat of honor, except for Gen. Smuts, on the stage. George Foster Peahody, distinguished philanthropist; Dr Wm. Scheffelin, L. Hollingsworth Woods and many other, leading white friends to the Negro were in the audience. Besides Dr. Moton, race men present were Dr. E. R. Alexander, Rev. William Lloyd Imes, James Weldon Johnson, Robert J. Elzy, and others. Disagreea. With Policy. Commenting upon the policy enunciated by Gen. Smuts, with reference to the development of South Africa's native population, Dr Moton declared his disagreement. He expressed the opinion that the plan would not work. Instead of advancing the interest of the Negroes of South Africa, so said Dr Moton, I think it will offer the greatest opportunity for their exploitation by the whites. If the Negro is going to live with white people on any basis of equality, he must be civilized like the white people, trained like the white people." Wishes To Avoid Conflict. "While I disagree with General Smuts," he said, "I do not wish to create any conflict. We have the best of personal relations. We are going to discuss the problems of Negroes, bpth American and African, at a small conference next week at Howard University, in Washington General Smuts thanked my today for calling his attention to the words he used yesterday. He is the most progressive of Boers on the race question, and I expected him to be very different from us in his dealings with the Negro.

Charles Filmore; leader 19th Assembly -District; ADOLESCENCE Adolescence is the age period from 12 to 16 years. Its characteristics often extend to 21 or 23 years and sometimes persist through adult life. Adolescence is a time of stress and strain. Fundamentally, it is a time of significant physical growth. For example, the boy increases rapidly in height, his shoulders broaden, his legs lengthen, his hands and feet become awkwardly large, his voice charges, he develops a mustache and beard. The boy of a few years ago seems to grow to manhood overnight. This tremendous change is intimately associated with certain glands, particularly those of reproduction—glands of internal secretion they are called. The thyroid gland, situated in the neck, takes on renewed activity. Some young girls are annoyed by its prominence for fear that it may be a goiter, such as is seen in adults. There are seven of these endocrine, internal secretory) glands. Physical changes are manifest in the young girl also. She becomes more womanly in appearance. Fatigue is common awkwardness, peculiarities and discomfort. Adolescence is a period of emotional unrest. Urged by a sex-appetite that society, for its best interest, and that of the individual also, curbs, the young boy and girl, naturally exhibit many phases of conduct that unwise adults do not understand nor deal with tactfully or sympathetically. Religious conversions are most common between the ages of 11 and 22 years. Grave nervous disorders may appear—dementia praecox is a special juvenile disorder. The individual is unable to distinguish between real and imagined things. There is here a fundamental nervous unbalance which the emotional strain of adolescence feels. Adolescence is the time for "pupy love," "crushes," and other manifestations of love. Mary preens herself when her best "boy friend" is coming. John sticks his hair, twists his moustache and strides Charles W. B. Mitchell, leader 21st Assembly D. district, Eist; ex-Alderman Charles H. Roberts, U. S. Deputy Collectors Aaron Smith and William Cornelius; County Committee Arthur E. Francis, Wiley, James T. Andrews, Hamilton J. Travis, Arnold B. Criclow, Jerome P. Ottley, Bessie Brown, partyworkers and voters. Assemblyman Perkins Introduces 3 Bills On January 13th, Assemblyman Lamar Perkins, of the twenty-first Assembly District, New York County, introduced three bills in the Assembly. The first bill provided for reenactment of the Emergency Rent Law. Assemblyman Perkins is of the opinion that there is a shortage of apartments of the lower rent class, and that there is an added element of emergency brought about by the present business oppression and consequent wide spread unemployment which makes the situation all the more acute and distressing among the working classes. While in the Seventh District Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, New York City, on Friday afternoon, January 10th, Mr. Perkins, who at that time represented several tenants, witnessed innumerable instances of increases of rent ranging from 25 to 100% Justice Sullivan, then sitting, expressed his opinion that the unreasonable demands of some of the landlords would surely lead to Legislation in behalf of the tenants. Another bill introduced by Assemblyman Perkins is a bill repealing that section of the election law which provides for a literacy test. Mr. Perkins is of the opinion that the present provision in the election law, which requires new voters to pass a literacy test, in order to qualify them to register and vote, does more harm than good, in that the election inspectors are given too much arbitrary power and in many instances, have discouraged many persons from entering and voting by the bullying attitude of some of the inspectors. Moreover, in his opinion the reason for the present law has practically ceased to exist as practically all citizens are intelligent enough to exercise their rights of franchise. The other bill introduced by the Assemblyman would make Armistice Day a legal holiday down the street—lord of all he surveys. His. language is characteristically "collegiate." He discovers himself, his feelings, his thoughts, his ideals. He longs for worlds to conquer, to travel, to lead his team, to be the best runner or boxer in his neighborhood. Father is no longer his hero—Babe Ruth, Red Grange, Kid Chocolate, some fiction lor real person—Lindberg or Byrd—usurp the place that Father once held. This is to be expected, even if not acceptable to his dad. There is increased intellectual activity during adolescence. The boy has always been thinking but now school encourages rigorous thought and John is tackling adult problems. Witness the subject of a typical debate between boy of high school age. I remember the learned (I thought so at the time) discussions I used to have with my mother concerning certain ideas and ideals of religion. I did not understand why she cried when I disagreed with her about God, Christ and immortality. I was proud to label myself an agnostic. I had grown above atheism. Now, as I look back I feel certain that my fundamental beliefs hadn't changed much at that time. I was studying logic and philosophy and got a thrill when I got the better of mother in an argument. I was showing off in true adolescence style. The young boy or girl is eager to put facts to the test; he is impatient with mere authority or convention. He wants to know, not only what things are, but the why also. He seeks rational explanations. His mind is growing. If the early training has been enlightened, parents need have no fear—the renegade will come back to the fold. We plead for sympathy and wisdom on the part of parents in handling the adolescent boy and girl, for they need to be understood no less than the infant or runabout child, not to come by instinct but by patience, study and faith in your own ideals which you must live daily that John and Mary may see in your life the virtue and value of your words. Assemblyman Rivers Introduces 2 Bills (Telegram to The New York Age) Albany, N. Y. Assemblyman Francis E. Rivers of the 19th District, Manhattan, is the author of twp bills, introduced on Monday, January 13. The first bill authorizes the Governor to appoint a commission of three persons to construct in the City of New York, upon a site furnished without cost to the state and to be selected by the commission, a monument in commemoration of the former 15th Infantry, now the 369th Infantry, N. Y. N. G. The bill also asks an appropriation of $25,000 from the state. The other bill gives tenants the right to deposit their rent with the court when their is a violation against the house in which they live until such time as the repairs have been made. The other bill refers to the Judiciary Committee and the other was referred to the Ways and Means Committee. Mme. St. Clair Fails To Appear In Court 一 Her attorney, Frank Stanton, pleaded that his client was ill. He said that she had been taken ill that morning and promised to get a doctor's certificate. It was learned that Mme. Simclair did enter a Jewish hospital for treatment on Wednesday and was discharged on Saturday. She was rearrested and later released in bail of $1000 for a hearing on January 20. Mme. St Clair attracted widespread interest by publication in a Harlem paper of charges that colored policemen in Harlem were framing up" citizens on charges of misusing members. She alleged that her great by Detective Roberts and Hunter was a result of articles she had written. The police, on the other hand, charge that she has been a numbers operator in Harlem for some time and charge she had a large number of policy slips in her possession when arrested. The Week of January 18 ASTROLOGICALLY CONSIDERED The Week of January 18 ASTROLOGICALLY CONSIDERED BY THEARCHER The year to come for those who were born on January 18 is full of opportunities and chances for success in professional and mental vogues. The people of today, who have learned to be thoughtful and considerate of others, will find this one of the best and happiest years that they have known. Old plans and old business is best. Changes to new plans and new files are not advised. January 19 begins a year that will require patience and the best of judgment. The health will need attention. Family affairs will be the cause of re-adjustments and changes. It seems that the year will be rather successful financially, but the money will be needed as fast as it comes in. Instrumented in bed with other year are much patter uncertain to the veil and though real injury repudiation should this force action. The y January success a romance, as if rowe ought to found in today or borro Those who begin another year of life on January 20 will certainly need to be very careful in dealing with the opposite sex, Marriage and romance will only lead to eventual unhappiness. Those who can be patient and thoughtful will find that an all-wise Providence will bring them safely through the year. Those who are employed should be very careful not to offend the employer, for work will not be plentiful in the year to come. It is easy to lose honor and reputation under this vibration. The year to come for those of January 21 will bring the need for careful attention to the employment and business. It is not advisable to lend or borrow money. Those who are married will experience some rather sudden changes in the family life. There is a strong inclination to accidents and injury through carelessness. A year for patience.

The vibrations for the year are intense, and it requires much patience and good judgment to understand how to get the best out on the year. Quarrels, abrupt speech and thoughtless conduct will cause real injury as well as harm to the reputation. The people of today should think well and carefully before acting. The year to come for those of January 23 brings opportunities for success and a strong inclination to romance, although it does not seem as if romance will be just what it ought to be. Some flaw will be found in the loved one. The people of today absolutely should lend or borrow money, or buy on the terms for trouble will surely follow. The year is very good from a strictly business and employment point of view. January 24 begins a birthyear that will certainly be favorable financially, and promises gain through traweling. Anything that is not strictly honest or is lawful should be avoided, for it will cause loss of the good advantages in the end. Some family secret will cause much worry but the best way to untangle the trouble is to use the utmost patience and to take plenty of time to think matters over.

Craftman's School Of Masons Celebrate 25th Anniversary On Sunday, January 5, at 2 p.m. in the Craftsmens' School held its twenty-fifth anniversary and installation of officers at the Prince Hall Masonic Temple at 15th street and Eighth avenue, New York. The event was made the more interesting as there was the third annual roll call of all surviving charities. Among those present who answered the roll call were three past deans namely Jesse D. Phillips, P. M. of Celestial No. 3, William M Stokes, P. M. of Boyer No. 1, and Rogers W. Griffin P. M. of St John's No. 29. Other charter members present were R. W Louis Leppe, P. M. of Carthaginian No. 47. Robert C. Toliver P. M of John's No. 29, James C. Denham P. M of Celestial No. 3, Louis Carter, P. M of Mount Olive No. 2, and Berry Hicks of Celestial No. The distinguished privilege and honor of installing the officer-elected for the year 1930 was accorded R W. Louis Jeppé grandorator. Never before was there a more impressive ceremony performed on a similar occasion. Great stress was laid upon the purpose and aims of the school and the quality of officers necessary for its success. Memories and reminiscences of twenty-five years added a colorful scene to the meeting and all present had an excellent opportunity to actually know of the steady march or progress of the Crattinen's School of Masonic Instruction and its many advantages during the years of its existence. The following officers were installed Daniel O. Braithwaite dean, Fimund F Sella, vice-dean, Lucius C Jones, treasurer, and Philip M Pollard, secretary. After installation and roll call on charter members the present survivors paid a glowing tribute to the present conduct at the school and each expressed a great adoration and appreciation on gratitude for the preservation of an institution they had founded twenty-five years ago. Brio Louis lepee with great eloquence and keen memory reviewed the school's early history and experiences which served as a great inspiration to those present. He predicted a greater future and enjoined every member present to contribute to the support of the present libraries known and dedicated to the memory of Thomas H. Milton, first dean of the School R. W. Robert C. Tolliver, the oldest master Mason present was a center of attraction and interest as he appeared in apparent best of health after four years or active Masonic life. He encouraged young members to continue in the work with more tervor as their opportunities were better today than in previous years. His alert memory contributed many interesting details. Bruw D. Devine junior past secretary on the school replied to many compliments and appreciative remarks paid the school. He thanked the charter members for their version of creating the school and assured them wonderful foundations, and assured them a solid continue to grow and serve the most useful institutions in the fraternity of Prince Hall Magna. To Make Campaign For Labor Union Membership At the annual meeting of the N A A C P, held Monday, January 6, Arthur B. Spirgin, vice president, announced that the organization planned a campaign during 1930 to obtain labor union membership and equal opportunity for jobs for Negro workers. The fight against lynchings will be continued. Four cases are being pushed, one each in Virginia, Texas, Florida and Arkansas, against disfranchisement, and cases in Virginia, Ohio and the District of Columbia are being fought against residential segregation by property owner's consent. At the annual meeting on Sunday, January 5, Dr W E B DuBois and Bishop Francis J. McConnell of the M F Church, president of the Federal Council of Churches, were the speakers. Bishop McConnell declared that the race should have its own leader, a leadership depended not upon race but upon the training and back ground of the individual leader. He expressed a belief that more Negro bishop should be appointed in the Speaking Church. Dr. Dilbert speaking on the function of the N A A C P, P, in American life, said the organization was part of the development following the long development of movement for the civilization of the Cree in America. CHANNING TOBIAS SPONSORS BIGGER Y. M. C. A. PROGRAM Extensive Improvements Recommended For Work 135th St. Branch Y That the needs of the Negro young men and boys will receive ample consideration in the enlarged program of the New York City X.M. C. A., is clearly indicated in the report of the Special Committee on Expansion Needs for the West 135th Street Branch, Y. M. C. A., which has just been turned over to the directors and which recommends extensive improvements in the work of this branch. The report was prepared by a committee working under the direction of Channing Tobias and four separate surveys were studied before the report was finally drafted. The report takes into account the fact that the Negro population in incumplied the last fifteen years because of Negroes moving into the city from the South and because of the moving of others from the central sections of the city to Harlem. Because of the large number of Negroes in this area, the committee feels that in addition to work at or near the present site at 181 West 1515th street there should also be work carried on for the large groups of Porto Rican and other Spanish language speaking groups of colored men in the neighborhood of West 1515th street and special work in the regular Railroad Y.

E. Nervous Trembles "A about a year ago I felt that I needed a tonic. I would get up in the morning feeling so tired and worn out. It seemed to me that I was getting weaker. "The least exertion would make me have nervous trembles. I just kept dragging around, not knowing what to do. "One day when I felt unusually bad. I happened to read about Cardui and what it had done for others. I began taking it and soon saw an improvement. I kept, it up and regained health and strength.

Music by Van Whitted, Ira Harris, Mrs. Ella Wilson, and others Mr. DePriest spoke on "Political Emancipation of the Negro" for nearly two hours and held his audience spellbound. Mayor Mackey remained till after midnight when the meeting adjourned. After giving a history of the Negro's political life in this country the Congressman stated that the Negro's greatest possibilities lay in organization. "There is no political power for us outside of the organization of the people," he said. "If the Negro ever expects to be politically free where he can use his ballot for the best advancement of his people and the best advancement of his country, he must learn to organize his forces." Makea Plea for Constitution Mr. DePriest made a plea for the Constitution. He has had twenty thousand copies of it printed for distribution among intelligent people of the country. He will print 2000 more. "I was the preachers and the teachers, this and lodge leaders, to read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to the people of their various groups. We must impress upon our people that they are American citizens who are entitled to all the privileges of American citizenship while they bear its responsibilities." Mr. DePriest made an appeal for the Negroes to stand together, "On every hand there are those who want us to be less than Americans," he said. "And some weak persons in our own race yield to this view. There are Negro haters who oppose every advance of the Negro in the matter of getting better jobs and there is no limit to which they will go to keep the Negro down. The trouble about Bishop Carey is that Negro haters do not want to see him occupy the place which he has on the Chicago campus under this commission there are nearly 40,000 jobs. This is too big a position for the Negro hater to see a Negro occupy. Therefore they have gone out to get Carey. They used the same tactics with me. When they saw that they could not keep me from being elected to Congress then they indicted me. Tells of Chicago Experiences. Just before the election they took me to the Grand Jury and got an indictment. This is not a very hard thing to get in Chicago. But I did not pay any attention to them. I went ahead and I was elected by a good majority. I was told, however, that if I would withdraw from Congress the indictment would not be brought against me. I paid no attention to this. After I was elected I had a written demand for a trial in January according to the Illinois law. The State said that they were not ready. I demanded trial again in February. They were not ready. I demanded again in March. Again they were not ready. I made another demand in April. Still they were not ready and I fell back on my legal right. The judge called for a trial and the PAGE THREE state's attorney stated that they did not have evidence enough. Consequently the matter was dismissed. Since they did not have evidence enough to try, they evidently did not have enough to indict me, but the points was that they were not interested in whether I was guilty or not, but were interested in keeping me out of Congress. Even after I was elected there were weak Negroes all over the country who got cold feet and wanted me to give up and not accept the office. I paid no attention to the fact that the District Illinois elected me and I took my seat. I was duly sworn in. Just as I beat them, Bishop Carey will beat them. The matter is purely political." Urgea Race Solidarity. Mr. DePriest made a strong plea for racial solidarity. He said "My father and my mother were slaves. Neither of them could read or write. They were not responsible for that. They were God-fearing; they were honest; they were ambitious. But the system of slavery practically smother all the higher qualities which were in them. I am their son and a member of Congres. Because they were of the great common people, I have never forgotten the common people. I love the common people. I do not seek for any social equality with anyone. Like the people that I like and I was with them. One thing that our race can do, we must all feel a strong kinship with another. No man should get so rich but that he feels the kinship with the common man. No man should get so high that he will try to get away from the common mass. We must all rise many of us are to rise." Mr. DrPrest then gave the method used in Chicago as the suggested method for Philadelphia to increase her political power, and condescend, saying, "I want Philadelphia, New York, Cleveland, St. Louis, and other large cities, to seed a colored man to Congress that I can have some company."

ACTION URGED ON HAITI. ACTION BURGED ON HAITI. The Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate has been studying the resolution providing for a commission to study conditions in Haiti, which was recommended by President Hoover. But Senate committees move slowly, as was shown by the fate of Senator King's resolution on Haiti, introduced some years ago, which provided for the removal of the United States marines from that island. However, there seems a prospect that some action may be taken on this last resolution, according to what Senator Borah said last week.

However, there seems a prospect that some action may be taken on this last resolution, according to what Senator Borah said last week. The Senator from Idaho is a power in the Senate, where he is regarded as an authority on constitutional questions and independent of party dictation or control. He is also chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, so when he said that the resolution would be reported favorably at an early date, it meant action on some sort. Senator Borah was careful to say that this did not mean that the Senate would be asked to act at once on the measure, but that it would not probably be called up until after passage of the tariff bill. But Mr. Borah felt that something should be done about Haiti, without waiting for the report of a commission. Senator Borah believes that a civilian should be appointed as Governor or Haiti, for that is what the office of High Commissioner amounts to, stripped of its armouflage. He also believes that "we should give the people of Haiti a free and intrammeled election. At this election they should be permitted to vote for members of their congress, and then the congress should be permitted, as is provided by their constitution, to elect their president." This would virtually restore self-government to the island, provided the election of members to the congress was really "free and untrammeled," and not one of the sort described by General medley D. Butler, where the United States marines guarded the polls and only allowed voters favored by the American occupation to vote and proscribed all opposition as "bandits." Senator Borah thinks that the Americans have been of much service to the Haitians in some respects, particularly inettering sanitary conditions, but admitted that we have not assisted them in the slightest in political affairs or in preparing them for self-government. He admitted that over twelve years ago "we dissolved their assembly by force of arms and since that time they have not been permitted in any substantial way to have anything to do with their government. They are completely disfranchised." He closed with this ringing statement of the reasons which should urge prompt action to restore self-government to Haiti: The Senator from Idaho is a power in the Senate, where he is regarded as an authority on constitutional questions and independent of party dictation or control.

This is a fundamental matter of policy and will have to be decided by the government." That is as plain and damning an indictment of the action of this government in Haiti as could be made by any friend of the oppressed Haitians. Yet the author if it is the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate.

The Police Commissioner Whalen has been active in the introduction of new ideas in dealing with crime and other subjects affecting the safety of citizens such as the regulation of traffic. The latest idea is his to receive a trial is the formation of a Crime Prevention Bureau, which will begin operations this month with police-men as its investigators. It was announced that until civil service employees are available, the Women's Bureau will be in charge, but that applications being received for twenty-five places, he filled by young women as "crime Police Commissioner Whalen has been active in the introduction of new ideas in dealing with crime and other subjects affecting the safety of citizens such as the regulation of traffic. The latest idea of his to receive a trial is the formation of a Crime Prevention Bureau, which will begin operations this month with police-women as its investigators. It was announced that until civil service employees are available, the Women's Bureau will be in charge, but that applications are being received for twenty-five places, to be filled by young women as "crime prevention investigators." The main object of this bureau, as defined by Commissioner Whalen, before social welfare groups and churches, is to work in cooperation with the social welfare agencies of the neighborhood, in stepping tab on children who show signs of delinquency. Special efforts will be made to guide such subjects into the activities of the boys' clubs and other organizations, which will exert a wholesome influence upon them. While the personnel of the bureau will be feminine, it is expected that patrolmen will cooperate by turning in the names of boys without employment or occupation, who are found loafing in questionable places, or who may fall into bad company. Male workers may also be attached to the bureau in the course of time for more direct charge of boys. It was announced that applications for places as investigators will be received until January 14, the duties being defined as follows: "To investigate conditions that make for delinquency and to suggest remedial measures therefor; to do case work, especially among women and minors; to prepare reports, statistically and general, of the findings resulting from investigations; to formulate plans, under supervision, for ways and means to prevent crime and to put these plans into effect; to perform such other duties as the Commissioner of Police may direct." Applicants are required to have five years' experience as paid social workers dealing with delinquencies or research in conditions dealing with delinquency, or three years' experience if they have college diplomas. With the career of most criminals of the present day beginning at an early age, it is well that an attempt should be made to prevent growing children from straying into paths of delinquency. The means to deal with this class of juvenile delinquents must be developed with the study of their tendencies and environment. Attention has been directed in these columns at various times to the need for greater protection to be given growing boys and girls whose parents are often obliged to work during the day and leave the children to their own devices. The new bureau would find an ample field for its activities in looking after some of these children. There should be a larger number of women from our group engaged in this work of crime prevention, either as investigators or police-women. Those who are qualified for service in either position should apply for appointment. WHEN PATIENCE CEASES. When the ordinarily self-contained and optimistic principal of Tuskegee Institute confronted the former Boer leader and prime minister of South Africa in Town Hall, one day last week, with a remonstrance against his comparison of the Negro to an ass, it was evident that there is a point where patience ceases to be a virtue. The comparison that drew too heavily on Dr. Moton's patience, was when General Smuts said "the Negroes are, next to the ass, the most patient of all animals." Dr. Moton's reaction to this was expressed as follows: When the ordinarily self-contained and optimistic principal of Tuskegee Institute confronted the former Boer leader and prime minister of South Africa in Town Hall, one day last week, with a remonstrance against his comparison of the Negro to an ass, it was evident that there is a point where patience ceases to be a virtue. The comparison that drew too heavily on Dr. Moton's patience, was when General Smuts said "the Negroes are, next to the ass, the most patient of all animals." Dr. Moton's reaction to this was expressed as follows: "But what I want to ask General Smuts is what he meant when he associated the Negro with the jackass. What he meant when he called us docile animals. I do not think he meant it. I almost know he did not mean it. But when he said those words about our being animals, 'next to the ass, the most patient of animals, it hurt me. I can a two-eided breadth of heart of every person this audience, and also through some of the white people, General Smuts, you age a cultured and refined gentleman, but I would like to ask you about those words." The former Boer leader was equal to the occasion and extricated himself, with more or less grace, from an awkward situation by saying: The former Boer leader was equal to the occasion and extricated himself, with more or less grace, from an awkward situation by saying: "I used those words, Dr. Moton, in the spirit of admiration. I have all respect for the patience of the Negro race. I think that it is something that we white people might learn from the Negroes. We would be much happier if we did." In the course of his address General Smuts revealed a somewhat different viewpoint on the future development of the natives of South Africa. He advised against any attempts to force upon them In the course of his address General Smuts revealed a somewhat different viewpoint on the future development of the natives of South Africa. He advised against any attempts to force upon them a European civilization, but advocated rather their development along historical tribal lines. He declared that the African Negro is a Socialist and possesses a thorough going system of socialism, as shown by the ownership of land and property in common, as belonging to the tribe. While it might be easy to break down this system, he declared it was impossible to substitute the European system in its place. He advised the same course for the natives of India and other Asiatic countries. Coming to the Negro in America, he maintained that an entirely different situation was presented, in that the latter had lost his racial characteristics. Whether this included the quality of patience or not, was left to be inferred. But General Smuts avowed his belief in all varieties of civilization and questioned the advisability of turning all humanity into a melting pot. He deprecated the attempt to standardize humanity and advocated the development of all varieties of civilization so long as they are ethically sound and valuable. The wealth of the natural resources of Africa, shown by the recent discovery of copper fields in Northern Rhodesia, would tend to hasten its material development; and 'ac- estimate the conflict between the civilizations of Europe and Africa. The survival of African civilization he thought might be doubtful, but he was opposed to trying to revolutionize it just now. He termed all civilizations in the nature of great experiments, with the chance of survival for the fittest. It will be seen that General Smuta has a broader vision than the ordinary run of British empire builders. He sees more than one civilization and more than a market for British manufacturers in the lands and peoples exploited in the name of Christianity. Whether with the responsibilities of office again in his hands, he would endeavor to transmute his beliefs into practical policies is a question for the future. At all events in his reply to Dr. Moton, he proved that besides being a general and a stateman, he is also a diplomat. At the same time he betrayed the fact that in his previous dealings with the African race, he has rated them with the animal creation instead of considering them as endowed with human instincts and intellect. THE VERTICAL LINE. A notable feature of the Harmon awards this year was the fact that, for the first time in the four years that the awards have been given, the one for achievement in race relations consisting of a gold medal and one thousand dollars went to a member of the Negro race, Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. As the New York Times truth said, Major Moton won this distinction "in his own right and not merely as the incumbent of a position, which his predecessor made known to the world." This was unmistakably demonstrated in this recent book, "What the Negro Thinks." The Times went further in the following admission: Distinction between the races in America is no longer indicated by a horizontal line, which above and below, but by a vertical line, with Negroes rising in the industries and professions their side of it and the white on his side. Tuskegee and Hampton notably turned the faces of thousands hopefully toward a future, for the race which will build up in own social and economic life, as Major Motorurges, in the midst of a common national existence. This rise of the race in the industry and professions was recognized in other awards, which covered such fields as education, business, religious service, science music and literature. In this last field of achievement it was to be regretted that no first place award was made, although no reason was assigned for the omission. The award of a bronze medal for creative writing was accorded to Walter White for his earlier works of fiction, which were printed several years ago. The awards for achievement in music, of a gold medal and four hundred dollars each, to H. T. Burleigh and H. L. Freeman were gratifying, especially the former, although it could not add to the laurels that Mr. Burleigh has won in his long career as singer and composer. This is the fourth year of the awards made by the Harmon Foundation, which are designed to recognize notable achievement by Negroes in business organization, fine arts, music, literature, religious service, science, education and race relations its object is laudable and has been carried out with a fine measure of good judgment and discretion. While differences of opinion may exist as to the importance, or relative value, of some of the achievements commended, they are all deserving of recognition, as evidence that the race is making progress in all fields of human endeavor.

CONVICT LEASE CANCELLED The Department of Justice announced last week that the Bureau of Prison has given notice to the State Prison Commission of Georgia, that the "contract recently made for the boarding of certain Federal prisoners," will be discontinued after March 15. This cancellation of the lease of Federal prisoners brought about by pressure of public sentiment against such action, marks the exercise of a belated sense of fitness and discretion on the part of the Department of Justice. Nevertheless, the Department officials sought to justify this discriminatory treatment of Negro convicts as according them a "privilege." In the statement announcing its discontinuance of the Chatham county contract, it said: "On January 3 a portion of the prisoner at this point refused to go to work and it was necessary to discipline three of the prisoners concerned by returning them to the Atlanta penitentiary. It is apparent that the inmates are aware of the discussion that has been going on with reference to this camp and it is likely that the morale and discipline which sought to the strictly maintained in a camp such as this would be difficult to preserve."

It is apparent that the inmates are sure of the discussion that has been going on with reference to this, it is likely that the morale and discipline which ought to be strictly maintained in a camp such as this would be difficult to pre- serve. The department feels justified, therefore, in withdrawing the prosecution which it has extended to these men and at the time, set they will be returned to the penitentiary." What is called the discussion with reference to this camp started with the pro- est made through the Negro press against the turning over of United Straits prisoners to the convict lase system of What is called the discussion with reference to this camp started with the protest made through the Negro press against the turning over of United Sites prisoners to the convict laase system of Georgia. As soon as the news of the lease became known, The Age and other papers denounced it and were followed by such dailies as The New York, World. Letters were written by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People protesting against such discrimination and the matter came up in both houses of Congress. Senator Wagner of New York introduced a resolution in the Senate, which was unanimously adopted, questioning the legality of this contract and calling for an explanation of all the facts surrounding it. He maintained that no authority existed in law for making such a contract, a view which had been advanced by Col. Duke, counsel for the Republican State Central Committee of Georgia as published in the Atlanta Independent. Attorney General Mitchell defended the action of the Bureau of Prisons, both in answer to the Senate resolution and as a witness before the House Judiciary Committee, when Representative LaGuardia of New, York questioned its legality. The opposition to it prevailed in both houses, despite the Attorney-General's advocacy.

Smuts Editor of The New York Age: On this the tenth anniversary of the founding of the League of Nations, the Constitution of which was made Part 1 of the Treaty of Versailles, and subsequent Peace treaties ending South African fames has been invited here to lecture on the work of the League and the promotion of International Peace. When Afro-Americans recall the name of General Smuts they can never fail to link this doughy Boer leader of 1909 with the most vicious enemy of the nation, ever practiced by mankind upon their fellows. This is to say the least of conditions among the natives of South Africa in their relation to their Dutch masters. In South Africa, where Smuts was born, and where he ruled for many years, one million white people hold abjection four million natives, 170,000 Hindus, and 500,000 mulattoes. The present agitation in India, is a direct result of the administration of General Smuta in South Africa. There, Hindus in an effort to promote and maintain their unjust treatment, hired a very learned and brilliant lawyer of their race, Mahatma Gandhi. On his arrival in South Africa he was subjected to every kind of insult. He was assaulted and burns from rains and brutalization by the same implacable foe of the British both in South Africa and his native India. Mahatma Gandhi now heads the Indian Nationalist Party that is causing the British so much anxiety as white people in South Africa rely almost wholly upon native labor. The natives however would much rather attend to their own business and follow their own easy way, by using all and every kind of force, compel them to work at hard labor in the mines of Kimberley, Johannesburg, and Witwatersrand, virtually for nothing but the scantiest of clothing, food and the cost of land. At the mines it is a crime, to deser As many as one million of these unfortunate people live in the most object squailer in filmys, barrack-like 'compound' outside the cities. Among this squirling, reeking mass, case flourish-syphilis, tuberculosis, scurvy, syphilis. The death rate is enormous. Press gangs are armed and sent out to gather in more and more of the hapless natives to take the places of those so rapidly claim, either accused of not having paid taxes or they are obliged to sign contracts, the contents of which they know nothing. They are not allowed to enter the cities, and when any of them must, they are provided work on the curb but must keep in the center of the street with the moving traffic. Skilled or. semi-skilled. Negro workers are not permitted to work at their avocation. When General mutts tried to correct this injustice, the people were killed and the General lost his power to Hertz-ing. It is a crime for Negroes to strike in South Africa. 220,000,000 acres of land are owned by the white peo- lation and 12,000,000 acres are 'set aside' and not owned by the Negroes. Three-quarter of the population therefore own one-eight of the land. In spite of the so-called inferiority of the blacks however, miscegenation is common and 750,000 colored people in South Africa plainly testifies that the natives are growing in education and unrest and Clemente Medcali has established a kind-of dead- discrimination in this contract, by subjecting Negro prisoners only to conditions of forced labor for the State of Georgia; it was denounced as a menace to free labor. The importation of Federal prisoners to build roads and work on other public improvements was declared especially untimely, in view of growing unemployment. The congested conditions in Atlanta penitentiary were used as the excuse for entering into this scheme, with the intention of reducing the crowding to within the prison walls and giving certain prisoners open air employment. But the method of selection was suspicious and the reputation of the Georgia chain gang too odious to justify its use by the Federal government/ For once public opinion prevailed over the arbitrary action of the Department of Justice, which would have put the prosecutors of peonage in the position of encouraging that form of forced labor. While Federal prisoners in Atlanta penitentiary would probably be better off if given outdoor work, the State of Georgia or Chatham county chain gang cannot be relied upon to afford the proper conditions for such labor. eship out of their bitter, but up to unreasonable and bruise their unreason- able and bruise their unreasonable The ways of mortals are indeed strange. Thus for instance our own constitution begins with the preamble "that whereas all men are created equal etc." and the case of South Africa where Cecil Rhodes formulated ... the ... doctrine "equal men" and the ... militar men." These are the two foremost territories for discrimination, disfranchisement and injustice towards the Negro. But perhaps the Negro is not a man on the one hand nor is he civilized on the other. In South Africa he is a beast of burden likened by Smuts, Hertzog and their kind to Dromedaries mules—and treated a great deal worst because of his cheap property value. DUNSTAN STRONG New York City. Propaganda Defined Editor of The New York Age: Judging by the general indifference of Negroes toward the efforts of such an organization as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, one is led to conclude that the vast majority of Negroes do not appreciate the value of propaganda, the intellectuals who ought to know better actually sneer at such efforts. Now while all organizations and the work they do ought to be sanely scrutinized and subject to criticism at all times, I must confess that of the criticism I hear from Negroes concerning this propaganda in a simple, simple silly. The bulk of it is concerned with sonaliates and with pointing out that propaganda has yet succeeded in ushering the group into Utopia. Propaganda is nothing more than presenting facts and, arguments favorable to your side, so that public will be favorably inclined toward you. In the kinds of propaganda ranging from the efforts of state, church and school to mould the public mind to the advertisements appearing in newspapers and magazines advocating of this or that article or commodity. For propaganda to be effective it must have entree to the channels through which information is disseminated. Since most people get their first news about current events through newspapers, the efficient propaganda, the efficient contacts with the hundreds of newspapers and press services in the United States. If your propaganda agency does not have the confidence and respect of these newspapers and agencies, most of the submitted materials will be thrown into the waste basket as soon as you send it in. Again, if your cause is to get intelligent editorial comment in the hundreds of newspapers in the United States, a fly-bye night affair. Releases been sent in at regular intervals over a long period of time in order to convince the various editors of the general accuracy and honesty of the organization, to emanate all. All of this requires an active organization staffed by competent officials who have facts and not theories to work on. Newspapers and press services do not want theories to get accurate information that can be on your cause will invariably be colored by theories and assumptions. If we do not present the facts as we see them then their enemies will be surprised and see that Our enemies may point to that-the percentage of Negroes in COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON THE SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS Asserting that the greatest factor in keeping American Negroes from making real progress "is the spirit of compromise that grips its so-called leaders," the Chicago Sunday Bee said: The masses are slowly but surely awakening to the fact that in Chicago and out of it, all of the civil and political rights are slipping away, even their employment is endangered and their presence in public places put in jeopardy because of the duplicity of a half-baked home, sometimes loosely defined and of officers and learned leadership that has foisted itself upon the people, has and does hold with the hares as it runs with the hounds. These misfits ally themselves with crooked, discredited politicians, whose ends they serve with the fidelity and obedience of the slave. They know, or should know, that in the last analysis of their sets, they have headed to the land to fall the last host to them employment and will in the end mean their own and their followers' elimination from power in politics. No one with an ounce of care for veracity will deny that the power and influence of the political leaders of Chicago of a decade ago is lost, and, that the present leadership is not consulted and has no position in party councils or in shifting the programs of the parties with which they are identified, but that they are simply automatons and jumping-jacks that yield and obey at the beck and call of their Nigric overlands. That is a severe indictment of Chicago race leadership, which the Bee declares is equally true in national politics. Under the head of "Gossip and Reflections," Editor Dabney of the Gincinati Union broke into "verse with the following excuse: For me there came a letter, so warm with the redolence of rum, so cozy-with the comforts dear to the hearts of all civilized barbarians, that my poetic muse came back to earth, it bore the following stamases dedicated to George S. Schuyler, the bronze iconoclast, author of the verses that inspired this effusion, so reminiscent of days that grew drowsy with the harmony of light and shadow of Velvet, darkened the land, and turned the fragrance of life, into a cesspool of sorrow. To George: You sent me some verse, For this season of pleasure, It could have been worse, Both in meter and measure, And yet truth to tell, It could not have been better, And that's why I congratulate, You in this letter, And the rhythm as smooth At the time that once floated, Gls the eighth laer heer. That in "growers" kids "towed," the sentiments were fine. With good wishes galore, I hope that next Xmas, You will send me some more. The careful reader may gather from the tenor of these lines that neither of these writers is violently in favor of the Eighteenth Amendment. Declaring that the gospel of Ben Franklin has been scrapped, the Philadelphia Tribune said: When that great Pennsylvanian line thrift was preached and practiced. Today we spend every nickel and place a mortgage on what we expect to earn in the future. Thrift is the basis of America's present industrial prosperity. For years some American worked hard, spent carefully and saved wisely. As a result of this thrift large fortunes were built and estates established. We have come down through the years giving strength and power to the heirs. During these years the American Negro was a slave. While white Americans were accumulating wealth, black Americans were toiling without pay. This era of thrift and personal sacrifice laid the economic foundation for the present structure. This was the period of preparation for progress. In Franklin's time came away. It is the power which energizes the present business system. The philosophy of Franklin fitted the conditions of the people who lived in that period. He would be crushed today as dangerous to business. Nevertheless, the Philadelphia editor concluded that "a few short years of thrift and hard work will enable us to have capital sufficient jail is out of all proportion to the percentage of Negroes in the population. It remains for us to point out that this is not due to any greater criminality on the part of the Negro but rather to the fact that he constitutes, generally speaking, the lowest economic group in the community and when brought to court is faced with judges, district attorneys and jurymen who are in himself and against him because of his color. Both sides have presented facts, but see what a difference conclusion is reached when you point out the fault as the Negro as them! No group, business or enterprise, in modern life can get very far without propaganda. The best proof is that the group and organization has a propaganda city bureau. Some public relations counsels get as much as $100,000 a year for getting favorable publicity for great corporations. Surely a group consisting of 12,000,000 people depends to a large extent on what a group of 100,000,000 other people thinks of them, taught to spend ten times as much as that for propaganda of the kind released by the N. A. A., C. P. GEORGE S. SCHUYLER, New York City. Saturday, January 16, 1998 ```markdown ``` to compete in a larger way in business. It would give us a buying power big enough to break down certain barriers which prevent our progress." According to the Pittsburgh Courier, "Hope Springs Established" (in the office worker's breast) which was illustrated in the following editorial: After a long camp, the army of persistent Negro job-seekers folded and moved from the national capital. Evidently were to be no jobs handed out to the colored brother during the reign of Hooverian efficiency. Was African Americans who pretended to be the "invisible" reported that a plum tree was passed to the anxious breech but it was ignored. The seakers after appointments went their way in sadness. But pew hope is filling their breasts and mayhap we shall soo find them again, canging around the stately pile with anxiety for the feeling smile from the Great White Father. The occasion of this new hope is the appointment of Dr. Charles S. Johnson of Fisk University, president Hoover, as the American president of the international commission, which is to investigate alleged tortured labor conditions in Liberia. It is one of the best appointments Mr. Hoover has made. Dr. Johnson is a very able man and can be depended upon to the facts, favorable or unfavorable. The job-seekers see in this appointment the beginning of a new day. They have their eyes on three places: the ministership to Liberia, a position on the proposed commission office of the deeds corder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. To be sure, the Honourable Arthur G. Free, the West Virginia who now holds the office, does he is to resign, but that doesn't matter. Delegation after delegation travels the world is hopefully. This app that wevy is boosted for the job. Sad, indeed, would it be if nothing ever came of all this excitement and expenditures of carfare. As the Pittsburgh editor has been mentored as a likely candidate for a presidential appointment of some kind, he probably knows where he speaks. Reviewing the "Struggle of Weaker Peoples" against foreign aggression, the Buffalo Progressive Herald, after referring to the recent uprising in Haiti, said: China is another example of a weak people struggling against what foreign powers choose to designate as extra-territoriality; which is nothing more than a denial of the native affinity of the Chinese governments a flat denial of local autonomy. The fate which has overtaken Haiti, China and other island peoples—the Philippines, now hover over the East Indians. Mahatma Gandhi the resolute leader of the Indian nation, having the Indian national congress fayer his resolution—condemning British oppression—and declaring India free and independent and willing to suffer for that freedom. By a vote of 1,994 to a bare and lenely 6 against Gandhi, Gandhi also declared India a congress in a seven-hour speaking (tournament) program; and finally want over with overwhelming odds. These instances are but an undercurrent of muttering destined sooner or later to give vent to reservoirs of millions of people whose desire to resist the mark of potential energy stored only because no means for solution seem apparent. That very freedom which India votes here by right of international justice, is the very thing which Americans wrested from the British and lion after seven years. The people of Haiti ask nothing more; the Chinese people will be satisfied with nothing less; and the roll of weaker people will ultimately demand no substitute. The spirit of resistance to foreign domination seems to have spread around the globe, especially among the darker races. Under the heading of "The Common Sense Viewpoint," the Norfolk Journal and Guide commended a white contemporary in the following terms: One does not always agree with the political viewpoint nor the reactions of the virile and fearless editor of the Raleigh Times to the thought trends of Negro spokesmen, but one is always convinced of the absolute sincerity of the Raleigh editor. His reception is an affirmative Algoondan Alabama that he would not serve upon a House committee with Representative DePriest of Illinois, was typical. He unqualifiedly condemned social intermingling, but unreservedly upheld the principle that there is a sharp distinction between play and work, and that black and whites are neither without harm to either and with violence to any worthwhile traditions. That is the common sense viewpoint on "the problem." It is the very viewpoint that Southern Negroes have been praying and have to be taught the white folks to. The editor of the *Raleigh Times* interprets the thoughts and aspirations of our group in this connection perfectly. He has the right understanding and by passing it to leaders he makes available contribution to the cause of racial amity. The admission that the two races may work together in the South without violating worthwhile traditions, its undoubtedly a concession of importance, that should be instilled into white workers and laborers. CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES A small but appreciative congregation came out to the morning service at Grace Church on Sunday. After the morning prayer led by Dr. Carner, he introduced the Charles Oden, who read the morning lesson and preached an eloquent and gourd-lapping ternion from the Book of Ezekiel. Place of the usual anthems, the gourd led in congregational singing, which met with a hearty response from the congregation. On Sunday evening, Dr. Garner preached an interesting evangelical sermon. His subject was "Charges Three Christianity, the Church and the chapel. The School bus convened at 9:15 a.m. The Sunday school and the Grassicond Club at 2:30. The Three C's Club held a silver ta, the last of a series of three, at the home of Mrs. Bessie Bearden, 154 West 13st street. She was well attended and there was an interesting musical and literary pro Sunday evening, January 5, Mrs. Mirrih Colea accepted the fellowship call and was received into the congregational faith. A "Pew Rally" auspices of the trustees will take the place of a usual morning service on next Sunday morning. There will be a prominent speaker, and there will be special music by the choir. The rally is being managed by Nettie Terry. The money raised will fund current expense. On Sunday evening, Dr. Richard- P. Harrison will present 'Diana of the Ephære' under auxiliary of the choir which also will re- rder special music. Rush Memorial Church Despite the inclement weather a large audience greeted the revivalist, Rev Grant Geary, at Rush Church Sunday morning. The "Misunderstood Christ" was the theme of the speaker. The minister said in part that nineteenth of the sufferings, heartaches, separation of home and church life is brought about through misunderstanding. The 4 o'clock hour was given over to the church choir, at which Mary M. C. Brundage, president presented Harry Prampin of the Pramkin School of Music and his junior class. The youngsters held the audience spell bound with the rendition of Spirituals and other peaking numbers. In connection with the program, the choir contended a contest. A pair of shoes was the prize offered to the contestant reporting the highest amount over $10. The charming Miss Mary Harper was the winner at the eight o'clock hour. Light and its Importance" was the theme of the musical. The Rev Geary will speak every evening during the week. The public is cordially invited. Refuge Church of Christ The great Bible revival that began January 1, has been beneficial to those that attended every evening at the church. The Bible, studies the past week were devoted to the book of the prophet Isaiah. Jehovah's case against Judah; six wars upon Israel; Israel's transformed vision of the eternal God during the time that King Solomon died; the prediction of the Assyrian invasion by a mighty warrior of ancient time, King Sennaheb (the destruction of his army by Jehovah); and finally the prophecy of a divine child Israel's only hope. The prophecy concerning the birth of Christ was made 740 years before the phenomenon of His Miraculous Birth. History shows that the old were quite certain about the star that led the Eastern Wise Men to the manger where the Savior was born. Ustold spiritual value has been taken from the prophetic Word and the enriched and deep things of God have been brought before the congregation from time to time in the Bible instructor, Dean R. C. Lawson of the Church of Christ-Bible Institute, taught, exalted and explained the Word of God. Through these instructions we feel fully justified in telling the world through the instrumentary our imminent Lord, the Bible to be the Divine Library, All of it has a value far exceeding that of any other book in the world. Certain parts of it have occupied the study of the widest men for generations and today it is God speaking to the inner man (soul), nourishing and instructing us in inexhaustible oceans of eternity. The hasty falling snow of Saturday evening, January 11, failed to diminish the number to any great extent of those that attended the all night prayer services. This parish service of prayer has witnessed the creation of a new church that have left our midst and are now in various parts of the world, but we are certain that they will not forget the happy hours of prayer that they have often shared with us. The pastor preached Sunday morning, January 12 from 2nd Corinthian Chrysanthemum 'The Première God Are My Saints' and Richcred are the promises of Jehovah to the believers in Jesus Christ. Impressively he portrayed in the language of the sermon the promises of God to Israel and that through the cross the entire world of baptized believers have been brought near to. The Sunday school, under personal supervision of Ianee Hill, has made noticeable progress. The Go-Forward one of the auteurs of the church made a beaureautine of old fashion prayer in the morning at the hour of 3:30 p.m., Mrs. Center P. Townsend is the presider of this body of Christian workers. The voting people produced a rare program. Sunday evening, occupying the hours of six and apen o'clock. Elder Peter J. Mawn has splayed many the talent of the young people in our midst from time to time. He is president of the Argor Bearers Young People's Union. The pastor preached a remarkable sermon Sunday evening.

WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH St. Martin's Chapel "Discipleship" was the subject of the sermon last Sunday morning, by the Rev John H. Johnson, vicar of St. Martin's Chapel, 122nd street and Lenox avenue, based on text as recorded in the 24th century in the Gospel, according to St. Matthew: "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." "There is a difference between the Apostolic religion and fashionable religion," asserted the minister, "Fashionable religion concerns itself with doctrine while Apostolic religion involves of souls and in living a life of religion. Life is hard, difficult and of full trouble, but in following Christ, we lighten the burdens The Master was not only willing to consecrate His life—He was willing to give His life. The road that you and I must travel is the road to Calvary, asking Him to help us to bear the crosses God has put upon us."

Stanley. St. Mark's M. E. Church The revival services continue to be largely attended each night, and are very successful. Many have been brought to Christ and large numbers have joined the church. A pastor, the assistant pastor, Rev. Richard A. Bolden, has been the evangelist during these revival services. Last Sunday morning he preached from the text Acts 1:8: Subject, "The Dynamite of God." He spoke in a very impressive manner and was well known within reach of all who desire it. He beautifully illustrated the disciples receiving the power of the Holy Ghost at Jerusalem.

Church, 220 West 130th street, will present the first of a series of dramatic sermons by Dr. N. W. Clark, the new pastor, Sunday night, January 19. The series has been well planned and will deal with many of the same themes and real life. The design is to luminage, our past history in dealing with ourselves and other races that we may have light, in helping us find our place and do our share of the world's work today. Our Second Emancipation" is the theme of the second series, the first in this series. The scene is laid in the past and in its workout, a tremendous appeal is made to the pathetic and good within us to the end that we may profit by our own mistakes, as well as by the injustice heaped upon us by others. As the brightest lights that guide our course in the future A hundred or more persons are being trained to help present the series. The large congregation that always wants to attend the excellent Church is looking forward to these messages with great delight. Officers and members are appreciative of the excellent work being done by their new pastor, and following his leadership they are confident of the big change in the year in the history of the church. Despite the bad day last Sunday, a big crowd enjoyed the message delivered by Dr. N. W. Clark At the morning church, the church gave the church into a school, giving each person a book from which he taught a most useful lesson on temptation. It was too plain to miss the point, every man was given his portion in due season. Sunday night, the old and new members. They worked together as one big family and were happier because of the effort. "Officers and pastor are delighted with spirit and results; of service. Dr Clark: aims at a seven day program in the interest of the Kingdom of God at Williams Institutional Church. All mid-week services have grown in attendance and bid fair to reach new records.

So far ninety-two souls have been added to our old. The Lord has our own Husband upon us. We closed Wednesday night and Dr. Keys used as her subject for the final sermon, "Heaven." Sunday, January 11, was a great day at Emanuel, in spite of the rain At 0 o'clock the junior at school was with us with the lesson story told by the pastor. Rev. Henry Nelson. At the eleven o'clock hour Dr. Martha J. Keys was the speaker. She used for her subject "The Christian Race." It was with masterful power that Dr. Keys deceived the teacher. She escaped the size of the Christian with that of the runner of the Olympic games, showing how it is impossible to make a successful run unless we lay aside everything which would hinder us. The church school met at the usual hour. The teachers and officials of the church spendlid number of scholars were in attendance. All enjoyed the study of the lesson. At four-thirty the evangelist, Dr. Keys, held a special service for women only, at which time she discussed the Seven Faults of this meeting was well attended and much was gained, by those present.

Hayes, his sister, continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." The theme of the discourse was the beginning of the Christian church, taking in the Fenton, Kentucky church and prayed prayer. He explained one of the principle characteristics of a christian as having the ability to rejoice at the progress and success of others. The sermon was an inspiring message of fellowship. Eight new members were baptised. The two Bible classes met at 1:30. The Philathea Class was well attended and the lesson was interesting. On Sunday, January 19, there will be election of officers for this class. At the evening service, the pastor at the preceeded from Matthew -26; subject, "Arise let us be going" Using the slightfulness of the three disciples who accompanied Jesus to the Garden of Gethsamane assemble assemble to use the opportunities we fail to use the opportunities when they come, we should not live in the past, but look forward, arise and go on. There were 28 new members who received the hand of fellowship, and three persons joined the church. Following the evening service we received communion service. Announcement was made concerning the death of Dr. Jonah Emanuel of St. Mark's Church. The members of Mt. Olivet were shocked and grieved to hear of it. St. James Pres. Church Despite the inclemency of the weather of last Sunday morning, a splendid audience helped St. James Presbyterian Church celebrate Covenant Loyalty Day, when the address, told of the "Church's Responsibility in the Housing Crisis."

F. Deegan and Inspector Davis of the Tenement House Department and Assemblyman Francis F. Rivers and Lamar Perkins. It is sincerely hoped that much good will all accrue from the Housing Survey cards which many were kind enough to fill out. Next Sunday is Harlem League Day. While Dr. Irle is engaging the interracial service, "If I Were a White Man"—"If I Were THE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker deceased) we can encounter does not plant is sufficiently striking to be enough for one man to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect one. We will need a different kind of education. The old edition and annual curtail out of two or three hundred young men and women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most congruous and humiliating one part what he did and sought to do.

The Bible class, which was such an important last year, has again resumed activities Sunday afternoon at 4 p. m. Mrs. Marriet Johnson in charge. A. M.' E. Zion Church As a fitting culmination to the splendid evangelical services held in this church, "Christian. Decision," was the theme chosen by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Brown, for the sermon. Of the strongest appeals made throughout the sermon was for men here and everywhere to make a decision, lest there will be no progress in his life. All services of the day were held in weather conditions. Rev. W. C. Brown was the speaker at the evening service. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church The pastor, Dr Edward E. Tylier, filled the pulpit Sunday morning. It was communion Sunday and he delivered an appropriate sermon to the vast throng that was present. His discourse was basked in the first laugh of the First Epistle General of John. Dr Tyler stated that the sermon was suggested to him by listening to the singing of the hymn, "I Love to Tell the Story." It was being sung at one of the revival meetings that have been held at the church for past years. He stressed the point that God has been striving to let mankind know how much he loves them. The manner or variety of His love is such that no matter what your station in life may be He cares for. The story of Jesus and his love must be imbued in us and be laid on our hearts and minds. Other outstanding points of the sermon were: We must know sin in order to shun sin. Since we who are Christian are the sons of God, we should seek to protect them from sin. We should good name, just the same as we do in a temporal way. God has given us will power. A power of discrimination and a judgment of regret. We should at no time dishonor God. Godions joined the church when the invitation was extended. This was followed by the serving of the holy communion.

This marked the close of the two-weeks community revival: that he has been conducting. It has been good to the church and the community.

Those in the pulpit this Sunday were in memory of William Holt, his mother, Miss E. West. The other flowers were in memory of Mr. J. Sampson, and were given by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Merriflower, Nazarone Cong. Church The Rev. Henty Hugh Procter preached at the morning service on "The Vision and the Task," basing his discourse on the vision of Paul and his great work for the kingdom. He held that the mission of the kingdom was to "Christ the the living Christ and the Suffering Christ. His mighty task consisted of preaching the gospel to the end of the world giving it a philosophical setting and laying the foundations of the Christian Church; his three fold secrets was that of sincerity, sacrifice and concession. In this he gives an example to all workers of the Kingdom. At the evening hour he poses of "Keping Up With the Joneses," and makes a strong plea for individuality in its application to the race, the State and the Church. The annual meeting of the church and Society occurred Wednesday evening when reports were made and officers were chosen for the New York office where they served in the close of the service by ladies of the Discovers Board.

Adams, on Sunday morning, mentioned the fact that the recent three judges to be brought up public notice because of their traction. He felt that their failure to act as befitted their office might be due to the fact that false impressions had been spread in the home-lad concerning America. Many immigrants came believing this to be the truth, but were not can but get." This idea results in law violations. These things affect critically the Negro population which is often housed as the immigrants. If ever the bars are let down and immigrants pour in the situation will be dangerous indeed for the American people, he hoped to hold to his job by learning mother and stabilize himself. On last Wednesday, the Concord choir, after its rehearsal, was treated to refrgmthments by Mrs. Sarah F. Russell. After making a sincerely complimentary speech L. H. Caldwell director, presented the outgoing assistant Mrs. Sorebry Ebabidge, with a purse, the gift of her fellow choir members. Mr. Caldwell said that during the six years of her presidency, Mrs. Ethelridge had adjusted every difficulty with grace and as far as he know no one had ever had cause to question her judgment and fairness. The size of the purse seem to substantiate his statements.

JUNIOR TRACK TITLE Four New Junior High Records Set at Meet Saturday Night The 138th Regiment Armory was the scene of one of the most exciting track meets of the indoor season on Saturday evening, January 11. It was the annual meet of the junior high school division of the Public School Athletic League. A Harlem school, the Frederick DeGrasse Junior High, outscored all competitors and won the meet with a total of 55 points, 16 more than the total of the second team, the J. Kenimore Cooper Junior High. Of the four new records set at the meet, one was made by the boys from Halem—the 440-yard relay team set a record of 51 3-5 seconds to cancel the previous time by 2-5 of a second. This team was composed of Ernest Smith, Vernon Bailey, Howard Payne and Julio Tormes. Rufus Kent of Douglass won the 80-yard dash, 90-pound class, in 6 3-5 seconds, to equal the existing record. St. Clair Mayers, also of Douglass, was second in this event. Clarence. Medlock of Dougast won the 70-yard dash, 120-pound class. His time was 8' 1-3 seconds. Sidney Addison of Frederick Dougast was second in the running high jump, with a leap of 5 feet. 1 inch. Herbert Holderman, gone of Addison's teammates, was third in this event. Addison would probably have won this event had he not sprained his wrist and was unable to continue. Harry Smith Scores Another Sensational Knockout Victory Harry Smith, young colored light heavyweight from California, again threatened Nordic supremacy in his division Tuesday night, January 7, by scoring a quick knockout over Paul Silvers at the Broadway Sporting Club of Brooklyn. His bout with Silvers was scheduled for ten rounds but lasted only four. A terrific left hook to Silver's heart early in the fourth stanza sounded the beginning of the end for Silvers. He double threw to the ropes. A half-minute later, Smith forced Silvers to the ropes jolted him with a left hook and right right hand. Silvers fell flat, with his head hanging over the bottom rope. He managed to stagger to his feet just as Referee Dorman counted ten. Before Smith could land another blow, the bell sounded, ending the round. The beaten man's seconds used restricters in an attempt to drive the cobwebs from Silver's cranium but to no avail. When the next round started, Silvers was unable to put up any defense, although he advanced to the center of the ring in a sort of daze. Referee Dorman, seeing his condition, stopped the bout and awarded Smith the decision of a technical knockout. Smith, who has fought in New York only two or three times, is a remarkable boxer and packs a haymaker in either fist. His timing of blows and judgment of distance are perfect. About 3000 fans witnessed the bout. Hampton, Institute, Va —The Hampton Seaiders journeyed to Richmond, Friday night, January 10, and won a fast game from Union University at the score of 22-30. The game was made fast by close quarters of the Johnson Hall and hardball, excessive fouls, many being of the football variety. Hampton got away to a slow start. Union scoring the first point on fouls, but once under way the Blue and white basketers were not to be stopped. Alexander, high point man for the Seaiders, was showing rare form. Taylor and McGowan were strong on the defense for Hampton Hall. Union boys check throughout the game. Star, accounted for eleven of his team's twenty-two points. Kellar, Ellis' running mate, played a strong defensive game. Bordentown N. J.—L. B.

J.—The Big Y Five of Atlantic City opened its 1930 season as auspicious fashion by performing the difficult feat of defeating a Bordentown quintet on its home floor, January 11. At the same time the Y Tigers of Atlantic City, the Junior Champs of 1929, added more glory to the Seaiders' record by submerging the Iron-sides Cubs, Bordentown's junior outfit, in a fast and exciting game. The varsity game started off at a terrific clip, with the schoolboys gaining a seven point lead at the end of the first quarter to lead, 10-3. The visitors rallied here, however, and with Durant, elongated center, leading the attack, pulled up to tie the game at 10 all as the first half ended two points separated the teams score with two minutes to go. But Allen and Lambert sneak away from the guards to a goal anie and the seaides boys won 24-19, the Wilddees, Hilton and Vessel were the big guns with three apiee, while Durant led the Y in the scoring column. A lamentable weakness in foul shooting was the undoing of the Bordentown outfit, for out of fourteen foul tries the school boys succeed in tallying only five. The Cubs showed even worse on the foul line, for had they made even one third of their foul tries they would have won by a handsome margin. A last minute rally with "Pinky" Morse leading in shooting very nearly gave victory over their closest opponents I. J. Adams Davis, speedy guard the Y. Juniors, who was responsible for four goals, which awarded the champs the game. In the interim between the two games the fans were treated to a game between the faculty team, the Has-Beens, and the men teachers of Philadelphia, the nation combination.

At the final whistle the score stood 36-6 during the standoff with 4 points while Fleet Street came through with one. Final score 20-17.

KID CHOCOLATE BARRED BY FLA. BOXING BOARD Popular Cuban Boxer Classed As Negro By Miami Boxing Official Miami Beach, Fla.-Louis MacReynolds, Miami Boxing Commission Chairman, put an official ban on the first boxing promotion efforts of Lou Magnolia, New York referee, when he issued a statement yesterday that he would not permit the Kid Chocolate-Jose Martinez bout to be held in Miami "We have a place for Negro bouts," he told officials of the Biscayne Fronton, "and will not permit them elsewhere—nor mixed bouts anywhere." The statement followed reports from New York that Magnolia had signed the pair for a bout at the Biscayne Fronton, which is under management in the February tournament. The Boxing Commissioner was no surprise to those familiar with the commission's rulings in this section. The Commissioner added the following to this statement: "I have had calls all morning, about this and I want to assure the people of Miami that not as long as I head the Boxing Commission or have anything to do with overseeing bouts here will such a thing be permitted." Kid Chocolate is a Cihan Negro, while Martinez has been fighting through the South as of Spanish descent. The statement of the Commissioner that "we have a place for Negro bouts," only slightly qualified later in the statement drew the inference that the Miami Commission has its own ideas about Martinez Mae Reynolds, in his statement, refers to the Negro hall park, where Bill Mears, a Negro, has been promoting Negro bouts under the auspices of the Harvey Seeds American Legion Post for a Negro charity. It is known that Mae Reynolds keeps these bouts under close supervision, policies the park thor- oughtly and has steadily refused to allow Negroes to fight anywhere in Miami outside this district, except in comedy battle roavals which have been staged at the Harvey Square arena at the local Y.M.C. A. A. Mears, promoter of the ball park, is reported to have made efforts to get Kid Chocolate to appear against a Negro lightweight from. Orlando, Walter Chaiman, but has been unable to meet Choco late's terms. It is known here that the Madison Square Garden Corporation sounded the Miami Commission some time ago relative to the appearance of Kid Chocolate at the Garden arena here. The matter was quickly dropped. ADVERTISE YOUR PURNISHED ROOMS IN THE NEW YORK AGE Record audiences are flocking to the Lafayette Theatre this week to see the much-discussed picture, the *Slyen* of the *Tropics*, in which Josephine Baker is featured and also to see Ivry C. Miller's latest musical comedy creation, which is being shown on the same program. "The Siren of the Tropics" presents Josephine Baker at her very best—singing, dancing, acting in that charming and inimitable manner which made her the adored star of the Pollies Bergere in Paris and the toast of Europe! It is difficult to say which part of the program the audience enjoys most—the stage or the screen show—for Ivin Miller's newest creation is certainly his finest achievement to date. The show is a laughing hit from start to finish, with an abundance of peppy dancing, sweet music, and dazzling scenic effects. The cast of "Desires of 1930" includes Johnny Lee Long, Sherman and White, Mattie Hite, Lew Payton, the Six Dancing Dandies, a chorus of sixteen beautiful dancing girls and other able and popular players. Fess Williams and Ada Brown Coming. A winning combination of producer and entertainers are hard at work to make next week's show at the Lafayette Theatre. The producer is Lenoard Harper; the stars Fess Williams and his well known Band, Ada Brown, Swan and Lee, and other equally popular entertainers. The feature picture for the week will be "Three Live Ghosts," a wierd, spooky, adventurous talk drama. Together, "Tan Town Tomales" and "Three Live Ghosts" are certain to make, a very splendid show. At The New Douglass Absolutely nothing was spared to give the handsome Warner Baxter a wonderful story in "The Romance of the Rio Grande," his latest movietime drama, which contends to the talking screen of the New Douglas Theatre this Saturday, Sunday and Monday, January 18, 19 and 20. "Romance of the Rio Grande" concerns two cousins, one American and one Mexican, continually scrapping over a vast estate, the property of their grandfather, and a very beautiful and seductive senorita, whose charm is too much for the man to resist. A fast pace without a pause from first to last scene. Almost at the very opening, from the attack by bandits on a construction job, to the fatal struggle at the end, one has to hold one's breath, so gripping is the action. Supporting Warner Baxter in this fiery, passionate story of the borderlands, are Mary Duncan as the raven haired temptress, Mona Maris as the jealous country girl, Antonio Moreno as the villain and a host of other artists well known to stage and screen. Those who have seen and enjoyed "In Old Arizona" will be more than thrilled with this much greater talking picture. Remember the dates, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, January 18, 19, 20, "Handcuffed," the alltalking murder mystery, now playing at the New Douglas Theatre until Friday of this week, is a vivid story of a criminal's undying hatred of the man who sent him to prison. His lawyer, who told him the judge was simply a servant of the public. He held the judge strifty accountable and he plotted a terrible revenge. Virginia Browne Faire and Wheeler Oakman had a very fine cast of stage and screen stars. At The Odeon Theatre Combining the thrills of "Chang" and the high courage of "Beau Gestet": "The Four Feathers" will bring to patrons of the Odeon Theatre an unusual and highly entertaining two hours of film fare this Saturday, Sunday and Monday, January 18, 19 and 20. "Four Feathers" was filmed in Africa. A year of the most dangerous and painstaking effort was spent in capturing for the screen "shots" of hundreds of wild animals in their native habitat Thousands of "Fuzzy Wuzzy's" made famous in song and story by Roryard Kipling appear in the gripping desert battle scenes "Four Feathers" is the story of a coward who, in order to save his family's honor, faces himself to fight, and finally is accepted "as a man among men" In addition, the cast includes Richard Arlen, Fay Wray, / Clive Brook, William Powell, Noah Berg, Theodor Von Eltz, George Fawcett and Noble Johnson At The Roosevelt For one solid year, "The Thirteenth Chair" mistified and baffled Broadway audiences at the 48th Street Theatre. The legitimate stage production was produced by the author, Bavard Veiller, who is famous everywhere for his mystery stories; the cast included Margaret Wycherly and Charles Lait, in New York; it also ran in London at the Duke of York's Theatre. Now, "The Thirteenth Chair" has been made into an all-talking picture. It was directed by Tod Browning who made many of the Lon Chaney pictures. The cast is the "tallest" Conrad Nagel, who is the "tallest" Leah Hyams and Margaret Wycherly of the original stage production. "The Thirteenth Chair" is a thrilling murder thriller. It has been described as "the ultimate in chills and thrills", and it is an extraordinary treat for all lovers of mystery dramas. "The Thirteenth Chair" will be As An Athletic Center The H. B.-S. Athletic Center affords great fun and frolic for the junior high girls. On Tuesday and Thursday, afternoons, down to the yard they rush, eager to begin their play. There they meet two teachers in athletic games, who love play as much as the girls, and watch time lively from three to five clock. In unfavorable weather, the indoor play yard is used but on fair days the spacious, paved, enclosed outdoor play yard is used. Passersby pause to share in the fun or to enjoy the good sportsmanship displayed by the participants in the formal games. Girls may be seen pitching ball, throwing basketball for goal, skipping rope, running, playing skating—in fact, playing all the games they love so well. It is a joy for them to be able to play unmilled and out of danger of automobiles. They show by their attendance that they appreciate the fact that there is, in the heart of our crowded community, such a spot for real enjoyment with safety. Every seventh, eight and ninth year girl is invited to stop and play with us for a couple of hours each week. The vigorous physical exercise, the fresh air, the wholesome contact, are conducive to the good health, well-being and natural development of our girls. And the time passes all too quickly! Aside from the pleasure experienced there are awards for attendance and "All Round Athletic Proficiency" Also bronze pins for inter-traum com petition. Instruction is given on such points of good sportsmanship as fair play, good spirit in losing, cheering for the winner, an official's decision and playing the game for the game's sake rather than wining at all costs. Renaissance Theatre "Words and Music," a rollicking all talkling, all singing romance is the attraction now playing at the Renaissance Theatre until Friday. If you ever saw Tom Patricola do his funny stuff you know the kick one gets from it. See him and hear him in "Words and Music." He is better than ever. And so is pretty little Lois Moran who does several hits of clever singing and dancing. The story is of college cuties and their boy friends. You will enjoy this entertainment from start to finish. For four days, Saturday, Sunday Monday and Tuesday, January 18-21. Clara Bow in "Dangerous Curves" will be the attraction. This is another one of those all-talking sensations in which the dynamic Clara shows to such advantage. She also sings effectively in "Dangerous Curves." It is a story of circus life and the love of a real girl. You will get a thrill of thrill from the tight-rope walking and you will wonder how a man could turn down someone with the dangerous curves of cute Clara. And when it all comes out right, after you have laughed and gasped and sat in suspense, you will say that "Dangerous Curves" is one of the best all talking pictures you have ever seen. At The Alhambra Theatre Eddie Hunter, who returned recently from a successful stay of two years in England, is the principal comedian in "Pepper and Salt" at the Alhambra Theatre this week. Contrasting with Hunter's crisp, rapid-fire humor is Pigmeat Markham's more leisurely type of drolery. Together, they constitute one of the most comical scenes seen in a long time. Fannie Hendrickson and Norman Astwood, who were abroad with Hunter, are also at the Alhambra, and the radiant Mercia Marquez lends her dazzling presence and talents. A comedy skil Between Pigmeat Maunta Randolph brings what show people call a "riot" of applause, and he dancing girls have a spirited competition in individual stepping. Eddie Hunter has a lightning speed little mystery play which he brought from England, and which turns out to be just a bit of non-sense. "Suns of the Father" provides Hilda Oftley a tense emotional part as the widow of a governor of the state whose memory is being honored by the people by the unveiling of a memorial. The blackmailing of the governor's widow and the misery of the offended son who finds he cannot marry the love Josephine Campbell, are treated in the drama of the "Suns of the Path". Sally O'Neill and Ralph Graves are the stars of the merry picture feature, "Bachelor's Paradise". Next Weeks Show. "The Road to Reno" a drama of divorce, with flashes of comedy will be a unique and unusual offering at the Alhambra next week, starting Monday. The comedy is of so speedy a pace that it is called "Track Fast" a phrase familiar to the racing enthusiasts. Jack Hoxie will be the star in the realistic picture feature "Feders of the Law" shown at the Roosevelt for four days only starting Saturday, January 18. WE DON'T GUARANTEE THIS ONE.

Mrs Prophet's sculpture is entitled "Head of a Negro" and shows a strong technique. She herself has explained, that as one of the first things she did after she arrived in Europe, it expressed the determination and aggressive nature of her work. She had completed her work at the Rhode Island School of Design, and with considerable difficulty saved up $350 for study abroad. Her struggle was at many times discouraging, but she was able to support herself there and keep her work in art. She the daughter of a Naragansett Indian father and a Negro mother and an American of her own, countered family indifference During her stay in New York she is making her home with Dr. and Mrs W E.

Miss Harrison has won for herself a rating as the foremost pianist of the race and ranks on a par with the great pianists of the world. She won such favor with Busoni that he singled her out for the most painstaking personal teaching, and she plays the pianoforte with surpassing technic and uncanny understanding. This will mark her second appearance in New York, having been presented her several years ago by Aldama Jackson. A note from Miss Harrison from her Chicago home, SJ45 Prairie avenue, tells this reviewer that "it is an interesting program," and that means that music lovers and students on the pianoforte who attend will spend a profitable afternoon. Hampton Institute Choir To Tour Europe According to an announcement from Albert Mirini of Vienna, Austria, plans have been completed for a concert tour through five European countries by the Hampton Institute Choir of forty mixed voices, under direction of Dr. R.

CAMERON WHITE CARL DITON 1930 Clarence Cameron White To Play In New York City The last Sunday in this month, Januar 26, at 3.30 p. m. brings a concert worthy of the times.

With such inspiration and training imbued—the coming of Mr. White is looked forward to by the music loving elephant—the one concert that must be attended. Parents who have children musicali inclined should make this great opportunity theirs on January 24 at 3:30 p. m., International House auditorium. 500 Riverside Drive. St. Martin's Choir In Holiday Choral Service Occasionally the St. Martin's Protestant Episcopal Chapel choir gives a good account of itself, and Christmas Eve furnished one of those occasions, for at no time during the past year has this group exhibited such quality and balance of phone, solidity of attack and ferocity. We from the usual Christmas bunnies, too exceptionally interesting cases were offered the French "Jannette" and "Bella" arranged by Diane and "Craile Song" by the Brassed Virgin" by Barnby-Gow with violin obligato played by H. Haines. The latter had to be repeated at the following Sunday In addition, a Spiritual—"Fear me I feel the Spirit" by Diane was requested At the conclusion of the Christmas service the choir was conducted by auto to the lobby of 1864 and avenue apartments, where the choir was again repeated to the design of the tenant-owners. 17 The Rev.

My friend, Aubrey Brooks, did neither of these two direct things, but took an intermediate course to coverly refer to the incident on page 3, column 2, of the January edition of the "Rhythm News, not defending or explaining the situation, but making a charge that "Agitation started by some of our group may be blamed for us losing some of the support of our group. One Seribe, one certain weekly paper, could find nothing more helpful to do than to insinuate that Bert Hall and Fred Simpson were not working together should have been there to see." "Agitate!" "Insiuate!" Poppy cook. This column censured Aubrey for not mentioning the names, in the Rhythm News, of ALL the colored candidates running for office in Local 802. Why did he not answer this direct? Could he find no adequate or plausible excuse to offer? Why the vagueness and ambiguity, as quoted above? The files can prove and readers will recall that this column advised musicians at all times to vote for ALL the candidates. Then where was the agitation? Mr. Brooks knows this scribe was there at the voting booth—we spoke afterwards. But, what was there to "see" and how does "seeing" affect the original complaint? There was never any insinuation on the question in this column, just specific accusation. Aubrey is unwittingly endowing this scribe with the faculty of shaping the other fellows: minds Thanks for the compliment, Old Top. Alonzo P. Hardy, bandmaster of Manhattan 45 Concert Band, (Elks) gave the second concert of his regime at the auditorium of P. S. 139 in West 140th street on Sunday afternoon, January 12 to a fair-sized and enthusiastic audience. In addition to the band, two soloists were in evidence. David Johnson jr., violinist accompanied by his father, David Johnson str., and Miss Constance Ekstenen soprano, accompanied unannounced. The presentation of the band was made by Mrs-Winnie Willkerson, president of the Harlem Mothers' Club of P. S. 89. Ed Simmys, exalted ruler, was master of coremonies. The outstanding numbers of the band's program were the Overture, "Calif of Bagdad" by Bordlieau, and "Light Cavalry" Overture by Suppe: a solo. "Evening Star" from "Tannhauser," brass baritone, played by Ernest Ferguson; and "Londonberry Airbom" (Lake) by Julius Greene, trombonist. The band shows promise and has made undeniable strides under the directorship of Hardy. The reed does not measure up to the other sections of the band. The bass drummer certainly has a lusty right arm, and we think a stand for the bass drum would avoid his bobbing up and down, which is somewhat inegible to the spectator. Bandmaster Hardy apparently understands his business and conducts in pleasant style, guiding his men with precision from movement to movement in the orthodox man. David Johnson jr., as usual, played in brilliant and graceful fashion, and was vigorously and lengthily applauded for his contribution. Miss Berksteiner exhibited a good soprano voice and was loudly applauded for her effort.

Phane Orange 7844 FRANK FUMO NEW YORK MAN VISITS NATIVE COUNTRY, ITALY Frank Fumo Tells Of Six Months Visit; Finds No Color Prejudice An interesting story of a trip back to his native country, Italy, and other European Capitals, is told by Frank. Fumo of 631, East 202nd street. The Bronx; New York City, and a prominent Harlem business man and real estate broker. Mr. Fumo, with his wife and kiddies, sailed early last summer on board the S. S. Vulcana of the Consulstane, from Pier 44 of Renaissance Park with a first port on call. The ship was to sail at 3 a.m. on Friday morning, but Mr. Fumo and family went on board at 10 o'clock Thursday night, in the midst of a fanfare of farewell parties in all parts of the ship. He tells an interesting tale of being so tired from pre-voyage preparations (of all sorts) that he and family went almost immediately to their staterooms to try and make up some of their lost sleep. But wakefulness came to him about sailing time. 3 a. m., and along with it was a thirst which seemed unquenchable. Failing to shake the sails, the harbor reached the 3-mile limit was passed and then made an effort to secure some sort of liquid with more poignant qualities. A Disappointed Thirst But, alack! there was another bit of information he had to acquire, and that, was that it was the 20-mile limit he had to pass first, and not the shorter distance. So, disappointed, back to bed he had to go, and, whether or no, deier the hour of his thirst relief. And until 9 o'clock, it was a tossing, thirsting Frank Fumo, who dreamed of sparkling ice, tinkling in a tall glass, with a mellow, ambient liquid, sending out a tantalizing aroma, that was always just out of his reach. But, oh boy when he got up on the second time, at 9, there was no stopping him from making his dream a reality. And there was no more unquenchable thirst, he declares. After nine days' enjoyment of this and similar enjoyments, the Vulcana, steamed proudly into the harbor of Naples, and there was a great cry of rejoicing from the throats of five hundred joyous patriots returning to the land of their birth. Took Car With Him. Mr. Fumo carried with him his 1929 custom built Nash Sedan, and as soon as could be, had passed the Customs ordeal, secured a supply of gasoline from the American Automobile Club, of which he is a life member, and, with his family, was rolling, gaily along the splendid Italian roads to Rome. The villa of his brother-in-law, Prof Frank Rivelli, of one of Rome's universities, was his goal, and here he was greeted by a number of delegations from various civic organizations throughout the Italian Capital. Included among the many sightseeing trips the party made a visit to the famous Comcats. Recalling some of the reports that had come from Italy recently, Mr. Fumo was asked as to racial and color conditions there. "There was none," he declared. Continuing, he said No Color Line Drawn. "Coming from a country where there is a great deal of discrimination against the colored people. I was forcefully impressed with the treatment accorded them in Europe, particularly in Italy. I observed them in the best and most beautiful hotels, theatres and restaurants, where they were enjoying the same service as anybody else." "To seek further evidence. Mr Pumo says he questioned some of them as to how they were being Jimmy Davis (Peekaboo') the booking drummer, who lives in 59th street, is sick, we regret to announce, in Bellevue Hospital Jimmy played for one of his customers in the Bronx on Saturday, January 4. On Sunday, he developed and doctor we called his temperature was 104, and had Jimmy rushed to the hospital, a short distance, away from Jimmy's home. We hope Jimmy will soon be OK to render service to his patrons He is a jovial and likeable fellow. quotes. "Their answer was that they had found no difference from that of others either after or creed, and that they had been made welcome at all time in all public functions or places. And Mr. Fumo concluded by saying: "And I believe this is as it should be. Why should a person be discriminated against just because of his color, any more than because he is of a certain nationality? Neither one is within control of the person affected." Dr. Moton Takes Issue With Smuts On So. Africa (Continued From Page One) to talk about this. I have only been to Northern Africa. But I don't see how you can keep Ibri life and customs surrounded and trifled by European civilization. The Junger General Smu's proposal, as I see it, is that if you leave the Negro his tribal life and leave him uncivilized you lower his status. You don't treat him as a white person. The justification for not treating him as civilized arises then from the fact that he is not civilized. Believes Change Innovitable "I think the proposal is impossible. I don't see how you could surround the y50,000,000 Negroes in Africa with the 100,000,000 white people, whom you may expect there in 500 years and maintain the Negroes in a state of tribal existence. You couldn't keep him from changing, and I think that it will be a better thing for him to change." Dr. Moton said that he thought the Negro should develop certain of the racial characteristics, as his songs and dances, but that on the whole he should become another variety of the western civilization. While he and General Smuts agreed that the Negro in America had advanced so far from his racial characteristics that he was already a part of the western civilization. Dr. Moton said this was testimony of what might be expected from the Negroes in Africa. Challenged to Debata. It is reported that Gen. Smuts was sent a telegram by Walter F. White, acting secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., containing a challenge to meet Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in a debate upon his proposed South African policy, but the latter, through Philip C. Nash director of the League of Nations, declined the invitation on account of pressure of engagements. The subject proposed was "The Relation between Whites and Natives in South Africa, and the Future of Africa in Its Relation to European Nations' and World Problems."

Johnson, pastor of Reed Street Baptist Church, and the adoption of resolutions summarizing these sentiments marked the joint meeting of the Church Cooperation Committees, white and colored, held at the Butler Street Y. M. C. A., at noon Monday. For ten years Dr. Johnson had been president of the colored Committee on Church Cooperation and in that capacity had rendered notable service in promoting interracial good will and welfare in the city of Atlanta.

At the conclusion the following resolutions were adopted by unanimous vote: Whereas, God, in His Infinite wisdom, has called our friend and coworker, Dr. E. P. Johnson, to his eternal home, and Whereas, in his going from us, we suffer the loss of one who for a decade was our co-chairman, and who in his association with us was wise in counsel, humble in spirit, and in all things ever the lowly follower and exemplar of our Lord and Sufiere. Therefore Be It Resolved: First-That the Committees on Church Cooperation of the white and Negro churches of Atlanta, in joint session this day hereby express our thanks to our Heavenly Father for the power and influence of the life of dedication of our brother, a power and influence which remains, with us here, and the full effects of which may be treasured only in eternity itself. Second—That we extend to his loved ones, and to the congregation which he so faithfully served through the years, assurance of our deserved sympathy in this hour of their temporal distress; but in bringing love calling to mind the words of St Paul: "that ye sorrow not, even to others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus tided and rest again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him—we rejoice with them in the blessed certainty of eventual reunion. Third—That copies of these publications be split to the family of our brother, and to the comporation of Reed Street Baptist Church, and that they be daily recorded in the minutes of this meeting.....

General Officer, Speaking In A. M. E. Zion Church, In the Presence of Bishops of Both Churches, Tells Plan's History Over 600 laymen and laywomen of the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Churches heard Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, deliver a stirring address on the organic union of the denominations, at the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, of which the Rev. W. C. Brown is pastor, on Sunday afternoon. Much enthusiasm was shown by the bishops and laymen that were present. Upon the conclusion of Dr. Hawkins' address, Bishop Frederick M. Jacobs of the A. M. E. Zion Church moved that Dr. Hawkins, be given a rising vote of thanks for his splendid outline on the union. The vote was also to be an endorsement of the proposed union. The motif was seconded by David D. Wormslay, a member of St. Mark's M. E. Church, Manhattan. It was unanimously carried. Bishop Wallace Presides. Bishop P. A. Wallace of the A. M. E Zion Church presided at the meeting Bishop H. C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church was present, and put the stamp of approval on the union The meeting was held under auspices of laymen representing the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Churches in Greater New York The meeting was called to order by Frank A. Ray, who was chairman of the committee. Mr. Ray is one of the outstanding laymen of the Zion connection and is a trustee of Fleet Street Church. In a short but eloquent address he introduced Bishop P. A. Wallace, who acted as master of ceremonies and chairman of the meeting. Bishop Wallace outlined the purpose of the meeting and spoke of it as a forward movement, and stated that it was the first meeting of its kind. Mr. Ray was the principal Wiley G. Orrenton of the A. M. E. Church for starting the movement. Mr. Orrenton is president of the Laymen's Union of the A. M. E. Church of the New York Annual Conference. Mr. Orrenton is one of Brooklyn's oldest and best known undertakers. Gives Facts and Figures. In his address, Prof. Hawkins dealt with facts and figures relative to the proposed organic union, and did so in such an interesting manner that he held the undivided attention of practically every one present. He stated in the beginning that according to the record the first proposed union was suggested by Bishop Richard Allen in 1890 and was approved by Bishop Varke of the A.M. E. Zion Church Bishop Allen was the first Bishop of the A.M. E. Church. In 1894 Bishop Turner of the A.M. F. Church proposed it again. This time Zion voted for the proposition, but "Method" as some called the A.M. F. did not vote in the margin for it, so thus it failed at that time. He mentioned other attempts at the present time. He concluded by telling of the process that has been made along the line since the last general conference of the two communions. He paid a tribute to the forefathers of the two churches who started them and kept them going. He also paid a tribute to the women of the race who have done much to aid the churches. He characterized the communions as the first crown of racial consciousness on the part of the race. Hawkins stated that the property in our church, parishons, not counting costs of the combined unions, was nearly $0,000,000. Bishop Ransom Approves. Brian Reverdy C. Ransom of the A.M.E. Church was the next speaker. He lauded the movement and affirmed that it would avoid duplication on the part of his faith, truths, and stated that they would get together before the M.E. Church and the M.E. Church merged. For he doubled if the congregants divided then he would. He also伏性 porosity glued the congregation together. It would represent 150,000 Negroes under this would be a mighty force of righteousness and racial bliss among all lines. He was followed by Bishop Isaac praised the movement and said that it was a fortunate that such an outstanding hero as Prof Hawkins could be treated to give the keynote note, a great movement, in America which is a part of the mission in America. The Bishop praised his speech with a motion of thanks he given Prof. Hawkins. This was done.

Many people have become dependent because they have been led to believe that there is no remedy that will reduce swollen veins and bunches. If you will get a two-ounce original bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil (full strength) at any first-class drug store and apply it night and morning as directed you will quickly notice an improvement which will continue until the veins and bunches are reduced to normal.

YORE AGE, . : cshjette tt et Saturday, January 18, 1960 | DOINGS AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES :-; CLASSIFIED ADS | ‘THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE : “AMONG PULLMAN: EMPLOYES s__ The death of Albert’K, Dismeukes, which occurréd in this city.on January’ 4th, not only marked the passing from the Pullman porter group ititte New York district one of its veteran, members, but it marked the passing out of one of its very substantial members, not- withstanding thas he was never a conspicuous member in the group, His worth to the‘porter’s personnel came mostly by virtue of the type am gaber he represented. riage Yad-been a railroad porter for twenty- six or more yearsyobtal8e of those portérs who operate over the New Haven Lines, few of ThE, ratk-atd file of porters in the New,York district knew the former. Filliman\fian. His circle of friends ‘and acquaintances within the grlp'was ‘fh¥row. True that limitation might have been due in some!respects to ithe limited area of his railroad service, which was confined to the New Haven system, between New York and Boston, but not wholly so. : ‘ ‘The fact of the matter was, Al Dismeukes was a rather reserve and distant character. He was “the very embodiment .of courtesy— every one of his friends would vow to that—but in the selection of friends he would deliberate before embracing. In other words, thos who knew him won his acquaintance by cultivation, Perhaps a simile of how his friends appraised him was best expressed by one of . these when he heard of his death, “ ‘Ah,’ smiled the lady, as she supported the delicate tendrils of the ‘rare plant’. ‘ In. years gone by in the Southtend, it was a strange house- ‘wife, no matter how limited her cultural attainments, who didn't have a flower garden which she cultivated during leisure hours. Especial- Jy was this custom followed in the smaller towns and villages in the South. One of the peculiar features of those gardens was that every housewife had a plant to which she gave the name rare. One of these lady gardeners was onde asked why did she spend so much time with her ‘rare plant’, when it never bloomed like the other flowers in the garden? “‘Ah,’ smiled the lady, as she supported the delivate tendrils of the plant with one hand while sodding its root with the other, ‘the beauty “and valye of this plant are only experienced through cultivation,’ she graciously replied.” That epitomized the character traits of Al Dismeukes. In his gar- den of fnends “he was known as a rare plant, whose sterling qualities had to be learned and appreciated through cultivation. For several years the veteran had been failing in healih. Several months preceding bis death, his health became such that his employ- er deemed it advisable to relieve him from running on the Merchants Limited to a train on which the work was less arduous. Some say the change, coupled with other cares, was a contributory cause of his sud- den passing, But whether or not there was any credence to be at- tached to rumor doesn't matter. What really mattered was that like ‘the rare plant in the Southern garden, winter had come to him, His going has deprived the group of one of its high type members. — Mr. John Coolidge, who, from all indications, has no aspiration to follow in the footsteps-of his illustrious father, the ex-President, but does hope some day to be a railroad president, has made his first ges- ture towards the latter goal. He has been awarded the honor of hav- ing selected the most appropriate name for the much-talked-about new New York-Boston train, over the New Haven Railroad The “Yankee Clipper,” which will be the ttle of the rail flyer, might be historical enough in relation to speed in New England, but for some reason or other,it seems to us that young Coolidge should have done better, if the honor just had to be given him—in choosing a fitting name. “Chpper" is not calculated to promote either cuphony or imagination. 7 __ ° Mr. J.
