The wounded man was rushed to St. Mary's Hospital, where he died ten minutes later. The shooting occurred Wednesday, January 22, shortly after 8 o'clock at night. Mr. Tudrington, who was 48 years old, was one of the most prominent lawyers in this city, extremely active in state and local politics, and was recognized as the right hand, hand and shoulder person for senior U.

A - Political Grudge.
Bell, who is 47, operated a pool room and gambling house.

The new administration had refused to issue a pool room license to Bell, and recently a squad had valided his place. On January 15, Bell had been arrested on a warmlt charging him with drawing a deadly weapon on another man, and he laid the blame for this arrest upon Tidrington. The night of the shooting, Mr. Tidrington accompanied by his wife, left home in his car at 8 o'clock. They stopped at Kraft's drug store located on the same street as Bell's pool room, on the other side and about a half block away. Mrs. Tidrington went into the drug store, leaving her husband in his car.
Shot From Behind.
Bell, seeing the Tidrington car stop at the drug store, grabbed his shot gun and rushed to the middle of the street, and fired upon his victim through the rear door of the car.

The recommendations made by Dr. Jacques are both unconstitutional and illegal, asserted officers of the N. A. K. C. P. The suggestion was made that the Negroes in Rockville Center, could be helped more by aid in obtaining jobs and by educational work in hygienic improvement than by the proposed remedies. The problems Dr. Jacques are facing are but a commitment to any economically less advantaged group" they said. As to separate schools, it is pointed out that the civil rights laws of New York State expressly forbids any action.

During the seven years that intervened, the colored patronage of the store increased to more than 60 percent of the total and many of these people felt that part of the clerical staff, as well as the operators, should be colored. This attitude, perhaps, influenced the management to change its mind.

The Week of February 1 Astrologically Considered
The Week of February 1 Astrologically Considered
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and happiness, is crossing the natal suns of all the people of this week for the next few days, and this aspect will bring more love, affection, and opposite sex, the chance for many to meet broken domestic ties, and romance to those who are unmarried. Venus is at its best on February 8 and to a moderate extent on the 1st and 3rd, those who have love to February 5. Venus also will feel the influence of this planet during the coming birthyear. Venus seems to have particular dominion over women and children, and brings contacts with women and children, and is a profitable way throughout the coming year. All the people born this week should try to use Feb. 8. It is a day of opportunities for those who can use rather good judgment, if the impossible is not expected, the week includes all people born and between February 1 and 8.
The coming year for those born on February 1 will bring very important changes in material and emotional affairs to everyone. It will also bring the public office or to change the occupation, since the changes will result in serious loss of both reputation and money. Fortunately the people of today seem able to think for themselves, realize and try to keep what they have will profit well. New plans will not succeed. February 2, holds the same vibrations as February 1, for the birthyear, and those who do not want to remain gain from a financial point of view. Family affairs will be rather emotional and disturbing. A year for patience and 'perserverance' the health should be guarded, and it would be well to think before dealing with strangers.
February 3 brings some very important family changes for the coming year, especially to those who are married. It does not seem much different as well as desired. The women of these date should be careful to guard their honor and reputation, for it is extremely easy to lose both their sense of purpose for their old plans and for renewing friendships to long standing. New friendships will need good judgement.

health will be the 'need' for the folks of February 4 in the coming birthyear. The speech and all writings should be carefully considered, or much-trouble and worry will be the result. Legal suits will cause worry and loss, and can be better settled outside of the day-to-day should be careful in traveling, or from machinery and sharp instruments. Machines who are patient in thought and speech will certainly come out on the right side of the year.
The coming year for February 5 promises to be rather pleasant business and a social way if new plants are come in. A new way of doing the same should work out well, but new plants will not work out as well. Here, again, the vibrations will bring the good judgment that is needed to choose wisely. Some very important family changes are needed, a seem that an inheritance will be guarded. The health should be guarded.
February 6 brings some very changes to every one in the coming birthyear. These changes are aimed at improving the institution and employment, and those who are employed should use the utmost good judgment in dealing with the superiors in the employ. The health will not cause much worry.
The coming birthyear for February 7 brings some peculiar emotional and mental experiences, and some secret matter will be the cause much worry. It will be advisable to know how to buy on the installment plan. All things should be carefully considered, for they will look rather promising at first sight, but more often than not they will bring much regret in the future. You should be well considered before making a final decision. The employment is likely to require care and perseverance.
The readers who would like to know how to get ahead and to understand the meteorary influence should now offer advice to send the full name, the birthyear, month, year, hour and place, with a self-addressed envelope, and ten cents in stamps to Theurer, in care of The New York-Age, 20 West 133th Street, New York City. The town office will receive the data. All communications are confidential.

FUTURE OF CITY GOVERNMENT
The selection of city and county officials by partisan choice, backed up by a majority of the popular vote, does not always result in the elevation of the individuals best fitted for the job. Even when the selection of a minor town official is made, political pressure often backs a unfit candidate for the position. These self-evident truths have been strongly emphasized in some recent revelations concerning the conduct of city magistrates in New York, and the peculiar adducts issued by the mayors of such thriving municipalities as Wilkes-Barre Penn., and Rockville Center, Long Island.
To take the most serious of these occurrences, which brought the last name down into the limelight of newspaper notice, Dr. Arthur D. Jacques, the health officer of Rockville Center, recommended segregation of Negro families in one section of the town and separation of white and colored children in the public schools. The ground for this proposal was the unanimary condition disclosed by a survey of the Negro section of the town. The utility of such a proposition as a sanitary precaution would be evident to the most casual observer, as there would be nothing to prevent the transmission of disease from one section of the town to another provided it was allowed to exist in the first place.
The mayor of Rockville Center seemed to possess a trifle more intelligence than his health officer, as he was quoted as saying that residential segregation already existed and no new ordinance to lower that subject was needed. As to the separate school proposition, he thought that was a matter for the school board. The mayor further appeared to have some sane ideas as to the treatment needed to correct lack of sanitation when he said that the building inspector and the fire department had been authorized to enforce existing laws, landlords had been advised to clean up, and some buildings might have to be condemned.
But neither of these two Long Island officials seemed to know, that under the ruling of the United States Supreme Court, and by decisions of the highest court of this State, residential segregation by city ordinance and race discrimination by separate schools are both unlawful and unconstitutional. The mayor had pointed out the proper remedy for the situation, but he failed to point out the fallacy of the proposition advocated by his health officer. It was brought out that some of the dwellings pronounced to be unsanitary were owned by whites and rented to colored tenants, while some were owned by the Negroes. The report was produced superficially by the acting secretary of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, who suggested that Rockville Center could help the Negroes more by aiding them to obtain jobs and through educational work in hygiene, than by segregation, which would only intensify existing evils.
The mayor of Wilkes-Barre achieved newspaper notoriety through his crusade against hatless males in his town. He recommended that the city council should pass an ordinance decreeing that, "those who insist on going hatless in winter weather would be declared insane and placed behind the walls of asylums."
The future of city government, in view of the vagaries indulged in by some of the queerly constituted individuals elected to responsible offices, is a subject for speculation not unmixed with some degree of apprehension.

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
The announcement made exclusively through the columns of The Age last week, that the Western Union Telegraph company has determined to man its Harm branches with colored employees, signalizes the advance of economic opportunity in this section.

The announcement made exclusively through the columns of The Age last week, that the Western Union Telegraph Company has determined to man its Harlem branches with colored employees, signalizes the advance of economic opportunity in this section. Like most corporations, the Western Union may be devoid of soul, but it harbors no prejudice on account of color or race, as has been demonstrated by its employment of white and colored messengers in Denver, Chicago, Detroit, and other large cities. But the placing of a colored man as manager,
/
with an all-colored staff, at the Harlem office will be in the nature of an-experiment.
The company has been impelled to make this experiment by the results of a survey recently made in Harlem, through which it appeared to be expedient to modify its past policy by putting colored messengers and clerks in its 135th street branch. This office made a record for doing a greater business during the Christmas holidays than any other office in the New York district. Many residents of Harlem instead of buying Christmas presents for relatives in the South or West Indies, sent gifts of money by telegraph or cable. The company was further encouraged to take this step by the excellent record made by Negro clerks and carriers in the postal service, as shown by their survey.
College Station which has a large proportion of Negro employees, made two records among the branch stations of the New York post office last year. It had a larger number of postal savings accounts than any other station in the city. More than eleven hundred of such accounts were opened during 1929. It is also the largest C. O. D. station, which means that it receives more packages marked collect on delivery than any other station. Since most of the people receiving mail from this station are employed during the day, the carriers have trouble in making these deliveries and most of the parcels have to be returned to the station, after notice is left for the addresses to call for them. This accounts for much of the congestion at this station.
The fact that the opening of a new opportunity, by such a public service corporation as the Western Union, was based on the good record made by our group of workers in the postal service is encouraging, as showing that efficient and faithful service lead to increased opportunities for the race. Similar records made by telegraph employees will no doubt lead to further economic progress. We have the men and women for the jobs, so all that is needed is the opening.
RISING TIDE OF COLOR.
A year or so ago, Lothrop Stoddard wrote a book called "The Rising Tide of Color," in which he directed attention to the upward struggles of the darker races to rise above the barriers to their progress erected by the fairer dominant races, who profited by the exploitation of their weaker brethren. Mr. Stoddard may not have treated the question from just that viewpoint, as he saw in the rising tide of revolt against the tyranny of alien domination a menace to white civilization. However, recent events in China and India, the seat of two ancient civilizations and once mighty empires, show aspirations toward autonomy and self-government.
In China the question of extra-territoriality for European nations, by virtue of which their subjects while in China were not liable to trial before Chinese courts, but could only be tried in consular courts of the nation to which they belonged, has been disputed by the Chinese government. Last December the present Nationalist government passed a decree abolishing extra-territoriality in China, which would take away from foreigners the privilege of trial in courts presided over by their own countrymen. Several of the powers including Great Britain and the United States, have assented to the gradual relinquishment of these rights, which have existed for eighty years. Since the decree however, a test case has been made by the arrest of a British naval officer whose motor car killed a Chinese coolie. The Hankow police who made the arrest said they were acting upon specific instructions from the Nanking government, stating that "all foreigners under Chinese jurisdiction will be tried in Chinese courts." That makes a clear issue of the question with all foreign powers.
In India the tide of revolt against British domination has been steadily rising during the past few years, although little news concerning the growth of nationalist sentiment appeared in the daily press. Despite the efforts of the British censors to suppress this news, The Age has published from time to time letters from an Indian correspondent showing the spread of the nationalist movement and the arbitrary methods employed to crush it. The recent meeting of the Indian National Congress, the decision made to boycott British rule by refusing to pay taxes and other demonstrations have given the movement worldwide publicity through the various press syndicates.
Sunday, January 25, was fixed upon for the celebration of Independence Day all over India, beginning with the hoisting of an Indian national flag. Demonstrations in favor of freedom from British rule were expected to be held all over the country, with mass meetings wherever possible. So far as the leaders of this movement are able to control it, this is intended to be a bloodless revolution, following out the non-resistant teachings
THE NEW YORK AGE
Mahatma Gandhi, whose influence still strong among the masses, who guard him as a teacher and a prophet, Resolutions printed in hundreds of many tongues spoken in India have prepared for circulation among the people to be read and voted upon, as a declaration of their rights. In this document, British government is accused not of depriving the Indian people of freedom but of debasing itself by exploitation of the masses and of ruining India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually. It was therefore declared that I must sever its British connection and join in complete independence. This will one, according to the leaders of movement, without violence by wielding voluntary help from the government and ceasing to pay taxes.
Of course, the British government not going to yield to the demands of a without a determined effort to re-great a territory and so rich a soil of revenue. This was proved by the reported arrest and conviction of two members of the Indian National Congress who were among those resigning seat in the Legislative Assembly or State Legislatures. These were sentenced to ten years' imprisonment on charges of sedition and conspiracy. Their trial gave out of a demonstration held in South Calcutta, to celebrate "political sufferers." As previous revolts against Indian authority in India have invariably resulted in bloody slaughter among crowds drawn by such demonstrations witness the Amritsar massacre the book for a revolution without violence not hopeful.
The usual British way of dealing with violent protests against imperial authorities was shown in a report of the shootings eleven women by police and troop in Southeast Nigeria, West Africa. London cable concerning the affair, under Secretary of State for the Colony, and the House of Commons that authorities had been having trouble dealing with native unrest and the clash between native and British forces ensure regretted to announce that all the cities were among women. A misunderstanding about the imposition of a law was said to have developed among activists, a group of whom were alleged to have looted and destroyed property despite assurances that the government did not intend to impose taxes on food. Then there was a brief reference in other news dispatch to unrest among activists in South Africa, including a killed riot in which a sheriff or policeman was knocked down. How many natives were shot or thrown in jail for this off official dignity was not stated. It was all incidental to a strike of workers against some form of exploitation.
Taxes and bullets but tend to increase the rising tide of revolt against injustice and exploitation.

In this document the British government is accused not only of depriving the Indian people of freedom, but of debasing itself by exploitation of the masses and of ruining India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually. It was therefore declared that India must sever its British connection and attain complete independence. This will be done, according to the leaders of the movement, without violence by withdrawing voluntary help from the government and ceasing to pay taxes.
Of course, the British government is not going to yield to the demands of India without a determined effort to retain so great a territory and so rich a source of revenue. This was proved by the reported arrest and conviction of twelve members of the Indian National Congress who were among those resigning seats in the Legislative Assembly or State Legislatures. These were sentenced to a year's imprisonment on charges of sodition and conspiracy. Their trial grew out of a demonstration held in South Calcutta, to celebrate "political sufferers' day." As previous revolts against British authority in India have invariably resulted in bloody slaughter among the crowds drawn by such demonstrations, witness the Amritsar massacre the outlook for a revolution without violence is not hopeful.
The usual British way of dealing with native protests against imperial authority was shown in a report of the shooting of eighteen women by police and troops in Southeast Nigeria, West Africa. In a London cable concerning the affair, the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies told the House of Commons that the authorities had been having trouble in dealing with native unrest and the clash between native and British forces ensued. He regretted to announce that all the casualties were among women. A misunderstanding about the imposition of a poll tax was said to have developed among the natives, a group of whom were alleged to have looted and destroyed property, despite assurances that the government did not intend to impose taxes on food.

NEW VICTIMS OF THE MOB.
The mob element among the American people is omnivorous in its capacity to taking victims, except perhaps in south where the black man or woman is favored object for its ferocity. The sedilection of the South for black men was caused one student of sociology conditions in that section, to favor a union of subjects for popuar hatred, order to divest the South of its burial color prejudice.

The mob element among the American people is omnivorous in its capacity for seeking victims, except perhaps in the South where the black man or woman is the favored object for its ferocity. This predilection of the South for black victims caused one student of sociological conditions in that section, to favor a division of subjects for popuar hatred, in order to divest the South of its burden of color prejudice. But although the South may turn for a time to baiting Catholics or Jews, it has preferred the Negro as a steady object of its wrath through the years and the centuries. This is probably because it has done the Negro greater wrong than the other objects of its animosity.
In other parts of the country there is a greater assortment of racial and class hatreds. In the East the communists are the objects of mob baiting, as well as prosecution and persecution by the forces of the law. In the West the Oriental races divide the burden of persecution with the black Americans. First, we heard of the Sand lot riots in San Francisco when the Chinese were denounced and beaten up as a menace to white labor. Then came the turn of the Japanese, for making too great a success as agriculturists and taking the fruit industry over as their peculiar charge. Finally, the immigration of Oriental labor was forbidden by law.
Now comes the turn of the Filipinos, an Associated Press dispatch reporting the whipping of members of that race by a California mob last week and the wrecking of Filipino homes at South Watsonville. It was reported that the bitterness against the Filipinos had its inception in labor problems and flamed up at the employment of white girls as dancing partners in a Filipino club at Palm Beach, a resort across the Pajaro River. At least twelve Filipinos were badly beaten and flogged by the mob. Later dispatches reported renewal of hostilities, with the killing of one Filipino
and one white man, while more than thirty Filipinos were held for safety under guard at the city hall. The next step will probably be for the Governor of California to forbid the landing of any more Filipinos and to banish those who have settled in the state. And the national government will probably ratify his decision by appropriate legislation. The California mob action may even be regarded as an additional argument for the abandonment of the Philippines as an American possession.
GETTING OUT OF A MESS.
Public sentiment on the subject of Haiti seems *to be getting around to the point, where the people who concern themselves at all with the problem, want this country to get out of the mess that the Wilson administration got into. This seems to be the attitude of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which takes the ground that the executive branch of this government started the occupation, without any authority from Congress, and that the same branch can stop it without any commission to help it get the marines out of the island. The conviction voiced by Senator Borah, that there is no excuse for the continued military occupation, has provoked a ready response in the

A Racial Comparison
Editor of The New York Age:
Editor of the New York Age:
Whatever one may think of the Jews or of the movement for a Jewish Homeland in Palestine, one cannot help but be impressed by the manner in which Jewish Zionists and anti-Zionists have rallied to the support of their kinsmen lately assailed by the ruthened Arab population of that little country. Jews butterly opposed to the idea of Zionism have gone down in their pockets and contributed large sums for the rehabilitation of the destroyed Jewish communities and the succor of the homeless.
From long years of exposure to the most fanatical prejudice, the Jew has been disciplined like a Spartan soldier. He knows that old I. W. W. slogan well: "An injury to one is an injury to all." Because he is in America and there are exploited and mistreated Jews in Roumania, he does not sit back indifferently with a mere grimace of disapproval. No, he financially supports the organizations that are fighting the battles of his people everywhere. If there is a pogrom in Poland, the Jews in New York have the machinery at hand to protest to the various European powers and to send delegations to our own State Department demanding that something be done. Such protests may not stop the pogroms but they do show that the Jews are alert, have power and money and are ready to fight. As a consequent pogroms grow fewer and fewer. The Jews, who total much less than nine millions, probably spend ten times more for defense and group advancement the American Negroes who number twelve millions.
If it were no so serious it would be a source of great amusement to learn that Negroes in this country contributed less than $100,000 a year to the only well-organized, recognized, alert, and efficient defense organization they have: the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. And then have the unimmutated affrontery to accuse it of ineffectiveness. If our people are greatly offended at jim crowism and the constant efforts to broaden its field, they do not show their indignation in dollars and cents. If they greatly abhor lynching and penance, history does not record a single year in the history of the Aframerican group when they have given as much as a quarter of a million dollars to put an end to it. If they are deeply concerned over the continual efforts to restrict them to certain territories in our large cities where disease and death march hand in hand, it is not yet recorded where and when they have put up any real money to halt

press. The New York. Telegram termed the occupation a violation of the traditional American policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of another country, an unjust subjugation of the Haitian people, and an offense to all Latin-America. That is all as true now as it has been during the many years that Haiti has been crushed beneath the heels of the marines, with their machine guns and bombing planes, against which machetes and ancient muskets were powerless.
The responsibility is upon President Hoover to take the initiative in redeeming Haiti from the rule of the machine gun, and to assist it to re-establish a civil government of its own. Such a government may not be as efficient as the Americans who really have Haiti's interests at heart might desire, but it would probably be far superior to the dictatorship that it has undergone under the American High Commissioner, with his horde of Southern satellites, like a swarm of locusts eating up the country and insulting its inhabitants at the same time.

If anti-intermarriage seem sinister legal devices to the dark reuthen, there is no evidence that they are willing to spend any appreciable amount of money to get them off the law books of 29 Star. There is plenty of money for other things but very little to support the work of the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Negro, 1930 Model, says: "Millions for dances but not a dime for theater." No one argues that the N. A. A. C.

The Pullman Employees
Editor of The New York Age:
Editor of The New York Age:
We have followed the series of
articles published under the heading
of "Thinking Under the Head and
Done Among Pullman Employees"
by Joseph Whitley, a 23 year porter.
It can readily be seen that the writer of those articles has richly profited himself acquiring useful knowledge, in the working of the Pullman Company, which has paved his own way to success, and which he now is offering to the less initiated for their guidance and their general benefit. While these recommendations for the improvement of the service, and for a step forward in the person-nell of the porters in general May fall a few deaf ears still the rains and file of the men will avail themselves the advice, and will thereby qualify themselves to meet the higher level of service which is required of them by the company.
Men of porter Whitleys type are valuable assets to any corporation with which they may be connected. An honest days service for an honest days pay, leaves nothing undone on either side; both employer and employee quit even.
Previous however, to the four articles of porter Whitley, the editor of The Age has been working overtime in filling the columns of his paper with wholesome advice to porters all over the country, which has gone on without interruption for five years or more. The front end without pointing out to our readers that The Age has been in the front ranks in inading and advising the Pullman porters no other help could be seen or felt, and now it extends its fatherly arms to safeguard the interests of the Pullman maids as well as the Pullman porters.

COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS
Under the heading of "City Hospital Open at Last," the Cleveland Gazette noted the favorable issue o: a three-year struggle for medical training. It said:
City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom on Monday affixed their signatures approving a resolution to provide equal opportunities for all races in medical training at City Hospital. The measure went before the city council and was favorably passed upon, Monday night. It was introduced by our good friend, Councilman F. W. Walz, who like Blossom had recently made a study of the hospital situation in Cleveland and other cities. Thusends The Gazette's more than three-year fight to open that public institution to our girls, wishing to study to become trained nurses, and to our internes (young doctors) who wish to train at City Hospital. Thusout the long battle our strongest supporter was George A. Myers, proprietor of the Hollenden hotel barber shop. And there are many others who helped materially to win the great victory, among them being our three Councilmen, Messrs. George, Bundy, and Payne, and Rev. Horace C. Bailey.
Following close upon the opening of a municipal hospital in Boston to colored medical students, the chances for professional advancement have improved in these two centers of population.
Discoursing on "The Patient Ass," in the light of a comparison made by a recent South African visitor, the Boston Chronicle said:
General Jan Christian Smuts spoke a palatitude when he said that the Negro is, next to the ass, the most patient of animals. To most thinking Negroes that was ancient history. The Negro has always been the most patient of animals. Has he not drawn water and hewed wood on this continent for two hundred and fifty years? Has he not been belabored and burned and yet withal ready to fight the battles of his truducers? Is not the Negro an animal, like all other men? The questions proffered are more than rhetorical; they inevitably elicit affirmations. True, the theologians maintain that man is a little lower than the angels, but no intelligent man denies that he is also a man and a vertebrate. It is possible to classify man zoologically as well as theologically: he will be no more out of place in the New Jerusalem than his skeleton is out of place in a museum of comparative anatomy.
As we have said, the Negro competes with Job for the place of the world's most docile creature. Amid vicissitudes of various sorts, through orpression and tribulation, the Negro is in the main, pitiful patient. General Smuts then was merely couching the obvious in a seemingly original statement. That statement was no more original than others of the Boer's platitudes.
Nevertheless the Boston editor concluded that the remark was not a compliment, but a downright insult to the Negro.
That Chicago society has taken an advanced step in the cult of color and costume was indicated by the Chicago Sunday Bee, under the heading of "Pointers to Society." It said in part:
This excerpt taken from the society columns of one of Chicago's daily papers is as odd as it is interesting, "In African Costumes."
"The membership of the Illinois Women's Athletic club is sponsoring an African tea this afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock. Members of the club are to wear African costumes from the collection of Louise Van Hees Young. There will also be African music and refreshments."
Now that Nordic society has introduced the oddities of African culture into their drawing rooms, it might not be amiss for colored, "Race," or Negro or Afro-American society to taboo bridge, whist, Mah Jong and popularize African pastimes for a change.
African dress and costumes might be a little too abbreviated as well as scant for introduction in this frigid zone at this season of the year, and, we don't just finger out how the society ladies managed this part of the African innovation, but perhaps the African music was jazzy enough to chase the chill from the blue veins of the social aristocrats.
But what puzzled the voracious Chicago scribe more than anything else was the nature of the African delicacies served. He did not expect cannibal fare, but evidently hoped for the worst.
Grade 1, were appointed for permanent service at $840 a year. 3 law examiners were appointed from the list to the Law Department at $1560 a year; 100 drivers and 100 sweepers were appointed at $6.32 and $5.82 a day, respectively, to be appointed to the department of sanitation in the Borough of Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn, 5 dentists were appointed at $1220 a year for work with the Board of Education; 15 custodian-engineers were appointed to date from the list at $3085 a year; 7 stenographer-typists, grade 2, were appointed to the Department of Health at $1200 a year
A new examination will soon be ordered for Lay Sanitary Inspector, grade 2, as there are at present many vacancies, and no existing eligible list. This position pays a salary of $1000 a year minimum salary. The column is specially prepared and edited for you. Don't fail to read it every week. It contains valuable news. Remember, 1930 is going to be the biggest year in Civil Service history.

Taking issue with the recent diatum of William Auerback-Levy that "the young Negro artists of America seem to be painting like their white fellow workers and to be imitating great white painters," the Philadelphia Tribune said.
Mr. Levy like many other men labors under the erroneous impression that Negroes have a peculiar culture which is the result of their African ancestry. He forgets that the Negro is essentially an American. And because he eats, sleeps, works, and thinks like an American he is said to be imitating white people. This conclusion is reached because Americans who are descendants of Nordic races have a twisted idea that Negroes are a different kind of an American—in fact not an American; that true Americans must be white therefore, when a dark American does something which does not reflect African background, he is imitating white folk. As a matter of fact he is simply acting like an American. Perhaps it might be better if he did not—but he does.
There has been too much loose talk concerning the peculiar difference of the American Negro from other Americans. There are no scientific facts to justify this position. Certainly there is a color distinction. But the mental reactions are the same when the conditions are equal. The black American artist might because of intense suffering, express a certain sorrowfulness, but he can not develop a purely African Art here in America with any more case than any other American.
To expect the American Negro to develop African culture in an American environment is a modern edition of trying to make bricks without straw.
Colored citizens of Norfolk are rejoicing over the action of the City Council, which will ensure them a bathing beach and recreation center next summer. That this was not granted without opposition was shown by an editorial in the Norfolk Journal and Guide, which said:
Colored citizens who attended the hearing before City Council last Tuesday afternoon came away with a deep sense of admiration for the courage and enlightened social consciences of Messrs. Tyler, Wood, Herbert and Robertson, whose statesmanlike action made the much needed bathing beach a reality, and with a deep sense of pity, and even shame, for the howling mob of six or seven hundred misguided and prejudice ridden whites, who all but reenacted the scene that furnished the background for Pontius Pilius's court in the Church was the Pilius's church, almost inconceivable, that late in the twentieth century, some members of the superior race can come near to reverting to savagery.
That Council, voting four to one (Mr. Butter opposing) chose to follow the dictates of duty and decency, in the face of such an emotional and hysterical demonstration, in something upon which Norfolk may congratulate itself. With men of such courage, vision and sense of justice at the helm the city should feel proud of its government. Colored citizens of Norfolk and the 'Journal and Guide believes a large percentage of white citizens are deeply grateful for the final victory Council in this matter. They approve the judgment of Council in the selection' of an appropriate site on deep water, affording colored citizens a recreation center on a plane with others enjoyed exclusively by their white neighbors. Why such a project should excite such vicious opposition on the part of some whites is difficult to conceive.
Talking about the necessity of putting more Negroes on the selling end in business in order to improve employment conditions, the Pittsburgh Courier said;
For a long time we have been looking for a sale and sale program. Now comes the National Negro Business League with just the thing we have been looking for: The C. M. A. Stores, which translated means "Colored Merchants' Association Stores." Under the aggressive leadership of Albon Holsey, Negro merchants have come together, pooled their interests and probed by the association in Selma, Alabama; Dallas, Texas; Jackson, Mississippi; Winston-Salem, North Carolina; and New York, N. Y. In all the Negro merchants throughout the country have been shown the only way for them to survive and prosper in the midst of chain stores for them to meet together and form a chain of their own. This they have done in six cities. An effort will be made during 1930 to organize the colored merchants in twenty more cities.
The greatest menace to the small individual merchant, white and black, has been his smallness and his individuality in a world of massive co-operative enterprises. The Negro merchants are seeking to remedy that in the only way possible to remedy it. i.e., by adopting the business tactics and procedure of the chain stores.
This means that with the increasing trade as a result of this intelligent planning, pooling and co-operation, there will be more positions opened for our young men and women who are coming out of school with no future to speak of. It then becomes a racial duty to do all in our power to assist the Colored Merchants Association because the successor the venture will help the entire race, giving hope where now, too often, there is a feeling of fear and futility.
A symbol and color scheme are to be adopted, as the result of a prize contest, to distinguish these stores, so that there will remain to excuse for failure to support them.

Jack Johnson Fined
$25 For Speeding
Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, was fined $25 in Manhattan Traffic Court, Thursday, by Magistrate Richard F. McKiniry, for speeding in Central Park West on January 15.
The former champion failed on Wednesday to answer a summons issued by Motorcycle Patrolman John F. Green and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He explained that he had been called out of town on business when he appeared voluntarily in court on Thursday.
As soon as he paid the fine, Johnson curried out of court, surrounded by a crowd of excited youngsters and fight flans.
After appearing on the vaudeville stage all over the country, Johnson is now leader of an orchestra in the Canton Club, down on Broadway.

Black Carl Is Dead
Edward Johnson, 60 years of age, more familiarly known in New York City as "Black Carl" died in a Kansas City Hospital last week. His death was reported in this paper several weeks ago, but later was found that his name had been confused with a white patient in the hospital by the same name who died at that time. He suffered a paralytic stroke a year ago and was taken to his former home in the West where he could have the care of relatives. For twenty-five years he had been doorman at the Metropolitan Opera House and Soug, his position came to know many people of wealth and distinction.
One of his boasts was that he had opened automobiles for three presidents - Roscoe Coffey, Lt. Col.

Friendship—the loyalty of three young men who graduate together from college—and the varying fates that time brings to them—such is the theme of "After Twenty Years," this week's drama at the Alhambra Theatre.
Smiles and tears alternate throughout the two acts, Percy Verwayne, who has just concluded a run of nearly two years with teh Theatre Guild's play, "Porgy," received a warm reception. Tom Moseley and Ted Blackmon are the others of the "Three Musketeers" of college days.
Eventually Verwayne is governor of the state, Moseley is an eminent physician, but Blackmon, after marrying an actress, disappears.
A poor wretch, condemned to the electric chair, proves to be the lost pal. The governor is eager to jardin him, but fate wills otherwise, and the play ends in an emotional climax.

At The Lafayette Theatre
A delightful revue headed by one of the popular "teams" on the musical comedy stage and a great talking picture starring one of the greatest of screen celebrities, make up the show being presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week. The comedians are Butterbeans, and Susie, who appear at the head of a cast of some thirty-five players in "Frolics of 1930"; the picture is Gloria Swanson's sensational talking drama, "The Trespasser" Butterbeans and Susie bring company to New York only once a year. They are assisted, by an excellent cast including Lee and Wright, the Famous Gibson family, Minta Cato, Jimmie Johnson, Tressie Leggs and Cornine, most versatile of dancing and singing soubrettes.
The reception accorded to Butterbeans and Susie Saturday reached the proportions of an ovation. They responded with twoy minutes of entirely new and hilariously funny comedy -- the kind which has made them famous wherever audiences like to laugh.
The feature picture, "The Treasurer," is one of the year's most fascinating talking pictures Gloria Swanson is seen and heard for the first time in this picture. The photoplay program also includes the funniest Vithphone comedy act which has yet been produced, Laddie Green, the noted colored comedian, in "Bending a Wire," the ritiously funny comedy bit which kept thousands shaking with laughter as the main comedy situation in "Comforts Hot Chocolates."
AT LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK
A group of the most talented colored entertainers in the East will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre next week in "Frills and Faibles" an elaborate and funny musical comedy, which promises to be the finest stage entertainment which has graced a local stage this year. This group includes Wimrred and Stills, Montrose Brooks, Garland Howard, Mae Brown, Baby De Leon and her new partner, Graze Smith, Ldna Barr and other equally known comedians, dancers, musicians and dramatic artists. The feature photoplay for the week will be Richard Barthelmnew, talking picture hit, "Your Nowhere's."

velous Technicolor, and the beautiful set, scenes and girls will have you breathless with amusement. Ziegler in all his career has never produced a 'romance' that could even attempt to rival 'Great Diggers' on Broadway in sponishment. The cast of Gunt-Digregs reads like a theatrical production: dream. Nick Lucas, famous radio and recording star. Ann Remington, whose dancing set will astound you. Winnie Langerman, musical star, whose "waste cracks" will make you your with laughter. Conway Learns as the 'sucker will awaken your sympathy. Gertrude Short and Heen roster as the cute little dancer will make you sigh. Winnie Langer will be probably the "rattles" dugger on the screen, and a hundred girls in a chorus that sings and dances like 'bobbie's business.' Without a doubt this picture is the biggest bargain in entertainment value ever offered to the picture going public.

HOWARD BEATS BOTH
UNION AND HAMPTON
AT BASKETBALL
Richmond, Va.-Historic area that flanked the sidelines and the ends of the court at Johnson's Hall Friday night the Howard Lions defeated the Union Panthers with a score of 48-29.
Howard tossed the lead with three held goals, one each by Bessie Hall and Taylor, in the first minutes of play. Union followed with a two marker by Captain Hissier at Armstrong High School and two three-thirds by Washington. Howard then became master of the situation,逼近 the basket with held goals by Taylor and Bessie for a moment it looked as though the Bison would have a walkover. At the halt time the bird had a score of 22-14

Hampton, Va. - The Bison herd from Howard University trooped tough shod over the State Sulters at Saturday afternoon with a score of 34-19 Hampton, four years OL. A championship after the elimination of Seminoles after the game as favorite and with wildcard contender. If the Bison were registered against 11 Ward last year and a second game against Va.

What coach had to do to tie the hakes that were known but the fight the Bisons returned to the field made a difference. Repeating the first half Howard used 2 and 2 points in the rapid succession making the score 21-9.

Monarch Symphony Band
At J. O. the Monarch Symphony band, conducted by Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, presented its monthly Sunday afternoon program of band music to an audience that filled every seat in the auditorium on the Harriett Beecher Stowe Girls' Junior High School at 135th street and Edgecombe avenue. In addition to the instrumental numbers by the band, there were two numbers sung by Miss Dayse Regina Harding, who is an honorary member of the band and its official soloist. Another enjoyable feature was the unexpected presence of a hundred or more girls from Public School 119, composing a giles club which delighted the large audience by their splendid rendering of four Spirituals, under the direction of Mrs. Robert Pearse, their director.
The band played with its usual fine sense of interpretation, with clarity and harmony of utterance. Outstanding numbers of the afternoon's offerings included selections from Ponchelli's opera, "La Gioconda", Elgar's Military March, "Pomp and Circumstance"; the Tschakowiski Overture, "Solennelle (1812)"; the Prologue from "Pagliacci"; by Leonardo, and the usual descriptive number, "World War" by Luders.
Another number was Caprice, "Blue Violets", by Eilenberg, which had been specially arranged for this band by Lieut. Simpson, who found, when seeking copies for his organization, that the number was out of print, and he was unable to get any of the music save the solo cornet part. It was from this theme score that the beautiful arrangement was made. The score for the Elgar march was also the director's arrangement.
Other numbers were the march, "Sons of the Desert" by Cline; a Serenade, "Estrelita" by Ponce and an intermezzo "The Wedding of the Rose" by Jessell. The program as usual opened with the Star Spangled Dinner and closed with Auld江长 contributions to Summer Park Legend Fund will be given next week.
The Eckles' Recital
John Eckles, tenor, and Blanche Smith-Eckles, soprano, collaborated in a joint recital at the Elks' auditorium, 160 West 19th street, offering a program of varied interest. These singers have been earnest and consistent students of the singing art, and their renditions on this occasion showed plainly the benefits attached to persistent effort. Mr. Eckles' voice has rounded out to a marked extent, developing sonority and depth. In certain phrases, however, there is a tendency to force his tones, and this seems to be unnecessary, since the singer gives evidence of an ample physical equipment. Mrs Eckles sings with a fine restrait it, and is the possessor of a voice of mite lyrical quality. She uses the mezzo voice to a great extent, but she reserves power sufficient unto the demands of bravura and forte passage. They deserved a larger audience than was present, but their auditors were liberal in appreciation.
Mr. Eckles sang "Caro mi ben" by Giordani, the "Vesti la giubba" air from Leoncaavello "Pagliacci," la donna a mobile" from Verdi's "Rigolotto," all in Italian; "Comfort is my people" and "Every valley shall be exalted" from Handel's "Messiah"; "Passing by" by Purcell and two Spirituals, "Deep River" by Burleigh, and "Swing low, sweet charitie" by Diton.
Mrs. Eckles rendered a group of Italian songs, "Gia il sol dang Gale" by Carlatti; "Care selve" from Handel's "Atalanta," and "Un bei del deteremo" from Puccin's "Madame dutterf," the aria, "With verdure dah love," from "Creation" by Haydn; "Ah love, but a day" by Gilberte, and two Spirituals, "My way is cloudy" by Rosamond Johnson and "Every time I feel the Spirit" by Lawrence Breen.
The duets completed the program, "Singing from the Negro opera Vendetta" with the composer, H. Hassene Freeman at the piano, and the other final duet from "Aida" by Verdi.
Schubert Music Club
The main auditorium of St. Marina P. E. Chapel, 122nd street and Lenox avenue, the Rev. John Howard Johnson, vicar, was packed to capacity at 4 p.m., the occasion being the appearance of the Schubert Music Club, under direction of Edward H. Margetson, the talented young composer and conductor, the assisting artist James Millington, and Carl Margetson at piano.
Mr. Margetton presented his group of about thirty mixed voicedg in a program of unusual merit, including English and Russian compositions, with several numbers by Bach. Whenever the Schubert Club makes a public appearance it may be anticipated with certainty that their offerings will possess quality and merit, and that the interpretations will be authoritative and understandable.
Without any transpending vocal augment at his disposal, Mr. Margetton has brought his singers to a degree of meticulous devotion to their
task and the result is that their singing is always worth while hearing.
There is accuracy of attack, fidelity to pitch, developed nuances and solidity of tonal utterance. This was particularly noticeable in the singing of a Legend: "When Jesus was a Little Child" by Teichakowsky; Egar's "A Torrents in Summer" and the Bach chorus, "Come and Thank Him."
Three Chorales, "Lead us, O Father," a Manx folk tune, and two by Bach, "Commit thy ways to Jesus" and "My sin it was" comprised the opening group, and the style of their rendition prepared the audience for the rest of the program.
The club was especially fine in its a capella numbers, one of the most effective being an Adagietto by Bizet, arranged for the club by Mr. Margetson, without accompaniment, and hummed throughout by the various voice sections.
Other ensemble numbers included "Invocation" by Rogers; "My God, I thank Thee" by Lemare, with baritone solo by Samuel Fox; "Lead, Kindly Light" by Stainer, with soprano solo by Mrs. Rose Margeson, and "Abide with me" by Bennet. Mr. Millington played two violin groups, the first comprising "Ave Maria" by Schubert-Wilhijen, and "Meditation" by Brahmst with Hungarian Fantasy by Monti as his second offering. He displayed digital dexterity and produced an attractive tone.
Other numbers were piano solos by Enid Manning and Muriel Davis, the latter playing the Mendelssohn Rondo Capriccioso in fine style, soprano solo by Bernice Woodroffe; duet, Elaine Deveaux, contralto, and Ernest Iles, tenor a Trelude by Scriabin and the "Nightingale" by Alabie-Liast by Karl Margeson, pianist, whose splendid playing necessitated an added number, an Impromptu by Chopin, and a tenor solo by Leslie Gray.
Mr. Margeton played the accompaniments for all soloists save Mr. Millington and for the accompanied ensemble numbers.
Cameron White's Recital
Clarence Cameron White, distinguished violinist and composer, held forth from the stage of the International House auditorium in a program of music for the violin, before an audience made up largely of the city's most eminent musical cognoscenti. It was an assembling of the sophisticated, and it was bajuml fit for their digestion that the artist served them.
Mr. White ranks easily among the best violinists of the century, and he has won his place by long, arduous application superimposed upon a foundation of surprising genius. His playing Sunday afternoon emphasized the fact that he is justly entitled to the accolades which have been given him.
For this recital, Mr. White offered the following program, with his wife Mrs. Beatrice Warrick White, at the piano:
Giaccona in G Minor, Vitali, Romance in E Minor, Sinding; Viennes Melody, Heuberger-Kreisler Twillight, Massenet; Fizzicato, Thome; Ballade in C Minor and African Dance, No. 1, Coleridg-Taylor; and a group of his own compositions; Spirituals; Serenade; On the Bayou; Camp Song (Water Boy); Negro Chant; Negro Dance.
A program of dramatic readings and impersonations was given at Grace Congregational Church, West 139th street, the Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor, by Time, by Jason Brooks and the Mamie Brooks Rite. The artists pleased the audience with a finely conceived and splendidly rendered program.

Interracial Commission Reports Eighty-Eight Per Cent Decrease In Lynchings In Past Ten Years
Organization Formed Just After World War To Obviate Danger of Wide-Spread Race Conflict Has Done Splendid Work
Atlanta, Ga.—A decrease during the past ten years of eighty-eight per cent in the annual lynching record is cited as obvious evidence of improving interracial conditions in the South, in a statement made public by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation on the completion of its first ten years of work.
The steady decline in the number of lynchings, from 83 in 1919, to eleven in 1928, and ten in the year just ended, the Commission considers a significant index of changing public sentiment.
Evidence of Progress.
Evidence of Progress.
Another evidence of progress which the Commission counts equally important, though less spectacular, has been the rapid increase of educational facilities for Negroes during the last decade. This has taken the form of larger public appropriations, longer school terms, better prepared and better paid teachers construction of thousands of modern schoolhouses, multiplication of high schools, and more liberal support of normal and collegiate institutions.
This has come about, the Commission believes, not only as a result of the South's increasing prosperity, but even more because of a growing public confidence that edu-

Superior Individuals But No Such Thing As Superior Race, Says Rabbi Mark To Kentucky Interracial Meet
Nashville, Tenn.—"There is no such a thing as a superior race, though there are superior individuals within each race." was the statement of Rabbi Julius Mark, in his keynote address before the annual meeting of the State Interracial Committee in this city a few days ago. "The illusion of race superiority is a fallacy." Dr. Mark continued; "and gives rise to a great deal of trouble. People should learn also that race prejudice is not instinctive but acquired. Consequently it can be eradicated."
The address of Dr. Mark was one of a number of interesting discussions among the speakers were Dr. W. J. Hale, incidental, A and M. Colleen, Dr. H. Dewitt, of the State Court of Appeals, Dr. E. L. Bishop, State Commissioner of Health, L. M. Robinson, State Welfare Director; Lee Loventhal, of the City Park Board, Dr. C. V. Roman, Dr. Robert T. Burt, Dr. Mattie Coleman and Mrs. C. L. Kinkhead.

Important In Health.
Other important gains of the decade cited in the statement are a decided improvement in Negro health and a longer life span; the better support of Negro welfare agencies through public appropriations and community budgets; the enlistment of the important religious groups, particularly the organized church women, in programs of interracial body and settlement introduction, the beginning of race relations into hundreds of colleges and high schools; the publication of many excellent books and magazine articles by and about Negroes, the mobilization of several thousand men and women in interracial committees which are working for a larger measure of justice and opportunity for the South's Negro population.

Is But No Such Race, Says Rabbiky Interracial Meet
Robert E. Clay, state Rosenwil agent and associate interracial secretary, reported that interracial committees throughout the state are contributing largely toward the erection of Negro schools. Judge Dewitt commended the work being done to secure uniform justice for both races, and Dr. Bishop told of the state-wide health campaign that is being carried on. Other subjects considered were institutional care, parks and playgrounds, the welfare of colored women and children, and student interracial activities. The need for their transportation facilities was emphasized in the form of the Committee's major objectives on the coming year. More than sixty persons were present, representing all parts of the state.
The following officers were elected for the ensuing year; Chairmen, Dr James E. Clarke and Dr. R. T. Burt recording secretary, Dr. J. A Lester; treasurer, J C Napier; chairman interracial League, -Dr W J Hale; state secretaries, J. D. Burton and Robert E. Clay.

measure of credit for these gains.
To Present Race Conflict
To Prevent Race Conflict
The Commission of Interracial Cooperation composed of a hundred Southern men and women, was organized in Atlanta just after the World War in the effort to obviate the danger of widespread race conflict at that time. To this end it set up eight hundred interracial committee across the South, through which misunderstandings 'were chained up and confidence was restored.
These committees then entered upon the effort to discover and remedy conditions of neglect and injustice affecting Negroes, and have achieved results that have attracted favorable attention throughout America and abroad, leading to the organization of similar committees in many other sections of the country and in South Africa.
The Commission is an incorporated body with headquarters in Atlanta and its officers are President W. C. Jackson, R. E. Greenboro; vice presidents, R. E. Redon, M. Ticegee Irrate and R. E. King of Atlanta; treasurer, J. S. Kennedy of Atlanta; executive director, Will W. Alexander.

How to Reduce Varicose Veins
Rub Gently and Upward Toward the Heart as Blood in Veins Flows That Way
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-count 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.
Indeed, so powerful is Emerald Oil that old chronic sores and ulcers are often entirely healed and anyone who is disappointed with its use can have their money refunded.

New York. One hundred thousand
dollars is therefore, in hand toward
the erection of a building to cost at
least $150,000. The new dormitory
is designed to hold 100 students and
will relieve the congestion in the
present dormitories due to the rapid
increase in enrolment. It is hoped
that the remaining $50,000 will never
be raised so that work on the new
building can be begun as soon as
the weather permits.
A Life of Dr. John Miller Dickey, the founder of Lincoln University, has recently been published by the Westminster Press, Philadelphia. It was written by the late Dr. George B. Carr, for many years a professor in the University, and has been edited by Dr. William P. Finney, now of Philadelphia; who succeeded Dr. Carr in the chair of English.
A pamphlet entitled "Lincoln-Poets" now being prepared and soon to be published by the University, will contain selections from the writings of four of the youngest school of Lincoln poets who have made a reputation in their undergraduate days. The best known of these is Langston Hughes, '29, and the others are Edward S. Silvers' '28; William A. Hill, '29; and William W. Cuney, ex-28.
