SUPPLEMENTAL COMMISSION
FOR HAITIAN INVESTIGATION
| Washington, D. C.—President Herbert Hoover
announced on Friday, February 7, the personnel of
the commission of five which will investigate condi-
tions .in Haiti, as follows: W. Cameron Forbes of
‘Massachusetts, former Governor General of the
Philippines; Henry P. Fletcher of Pennsylvania, for-
oe American Ambassador to Italy; Elie Vezina of
Rhode Island, high ranking lay Catholic; James Ker-
ney of New Jersey, close friend of the late Presi-
dent Wilson, and William Allen White, famous Kan-
sas editor. *
Although no colored member is named on the
commission, President Hoover has requested Dr.
Robert Russa Moton to head a supplement commis-
sion to investigate Haiti’s educational system. Com-
eas on this action, the President said:
“In cooperation with Mr. Forbes, I have request-
ed Dr. R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute,
on behalf of the institute and such other educational
affiliations as he may suggest, to undertake an ex-
haustive investigation into the educational system
lof Haiti with view to recommendations for the fu-
ture.”
Capt. Marshall Comments
| Capt. Napoleon RB, Marshall, for six years one
lof the secretarjes in the American Legation at Port
lau Prince, Haiti, in commenting on the personnel
of the Commission, pointed’ out that Chairman
Forbes, as Governor General of the Philippines, was
always opposed to granting self-government to the
Filipinos, and it is only reasonable to suppose that
his-attitude'as regards the Haitians will be influenced
by his attitude in the past. ; |
Mr. Fletcher, he said, was formerly Ist Assist-
lant Secretary.of State and as such was in a position
to exercise great influence in. changing conditions
among the Haitian people, but hia record shows that!
he opposed Haitian independence. He also pointed
to the statement that James Kerney of New Jersey
was a “close friend to the late President Wilson,”
under whose Administration the American Occupa-
tion of: Haiti was instituted. =

SPECIAL FEATURES
FREE BUSINESS TRAINING OFFERED 4 YOUNG WOMEN Opportunity To Learn Is Available, With Future Business Interest
Four young women, preferably from the South, will be given, free of cost to them, an intensive four-weeks' training in millinery, dress-making and beauty culture, to be followed with at least months' practical training, with a salary, to enable them to qualify as business executives, according to plans outlined by Mme. Emma Pitts, founder and proprietor of the Vogue Hat and Dress Shop at 2169-2171 Seventh avenue. Mme. Pitts, formerly of Augusta and Macon, Ga., started business in the last named city some thirty-five years ago, and from the first she specialized in training young colored women in millinery and the millinery and became self-sustaining, and some of those she trained have won high ranking as milliners and modistes. There are women engaged in catering to women in highest ranks of New York Society who owe their beginning to Mme. Pitts' unselfish efforts in furthering their training.
A Notable Record
Coming to New York a number of years ago, Mine. Pitts operated fashionable establishments in the downtown section with great success, with many noted fashionables enrolled as her customers. Some years ago she determined to offer to members of her own race the same sort of opportunities she had given girls in the South, and so she opened a shop in Harlem. She conducted a class some time ago similar to the one now proposed, and some of the pupils are now actively engaged in conducting their own business. At first she devoted her activities entirely to mininery, designing and dressmaking, but later she added beauty culture to her equipment, taking advanced courses both here and in Europe. At 2171 Seventh avenue, she operates a hat and dress shop, with a well-equipped beauty parlor next door at 2169, and it is here that she will train those girls accepted for the proposed class.
Earnest Women Wanted
Mme. Pitts is seeking for four earnest, ambitious, capable women, and those accepted will be given an opportunity for development along business lines that carries with it a chance to become part of an established business. She explains her preference for girls from the South by saying that they are not apt to have developed any connections that might interfere with their constant devotion to their work, although there will be no curtailment of proper pleasures or suitable social activities. The classes will start as quickly as possible and are enrolled, and a letter to her will bring full information as to what she is offering and the requirements needed in the applicants.
Mine Pitts' work was endorsed by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, and she was a speaker at a session of the National Negro Business League under his administration. Many of the most prominent men and women in the industry approved Mine Pitts' business initiative and ability, and her success in New York has verified their opinion.

The birthyear for February 15 will bring many opportunities for advancement, success in business, and travel to nearly every one of today. Family affairs, changing to new plans, or making removals will hardly be what is desired. Success comes through developing the business that has already been established. Care should be used in travel, and in dealing with the opposite sex.
February 16 begins a birthyear that will require careful attention to the health, and especially should accidents from machinery of travel be guarded against. The people of today who can use patience and avoid quarrels will be able to make very good headway in this birthyear. The year holds strong spiritual emotions for every one.
Those who begin a new birthyear on February 17 will be able to gain social and professional honor if they can use good judgment and patience. Legal matters, and contacts with the law, will not be favorable. It is best that nothing be purchased on the partial payment plan. Re-adjustments in family circles are induced for nearly every one.
The birthyear for February 18 will be noted for the changes that will be made in the family circle at some time in the birthyear. The year will bring a very strong emotional and spiritual end, and the many will turn to the Supreme Being for surcease from sorrow. Old friendships will be renewed, and will bring happiness. New plans are not advised. A year for patience and the best of judgment.
Unexpected journeys because of family matters will mark the birth-year for February 19. The people of today should not worry over the future to upset the mind, but should try to do the best that they know
Churches represented on the Council of Ministers of the New Hope Baptist Association of Newark, participated. The following ministers from the Council participated: The Revs. L. Coleman, F. L. Canty, J. E. Timmons, R. R. Harding, W. Vance, W. Alexander, Tobias Williams jr., moderator, and William H. Smalls, clerk.

how to do, and help others as much as they can, so as to get their mind off of themselves. It is a Divine law that we reap what we sow, and if we sow good, perforce we must reap good many fold. Those who are married should be very patient with the marriage partner, and use the utmost judgment in dealing with the opposite sex. The employer should be guarded. The people today who try to give the best that is in them will not regret it.
The birthyear for February 20 will bring unexpected journeys, pleasure through mental matters, and trouble because of family affairs. Financial affairs, and the health will need careful attention. No money should be loaned or borrowed, and time payments should be avoided. The people of today should not do anything that they would not like to have any one know or they will regret it much. No investments should be made unless through a reliable bank. The people who begin another birthyear on February 21 will need to use the utmost patience in the family circle. There is an indication of much expense because of family affairs. Here, again, nothing should be done that will hurt or other, or cause suffering to other. The tendency to make promises, and then forget them should be watched. Patience and good judgment will help much. Care should be used in dealing with the opposite sex.

Negro Achievement Program at Fleet Street A. M. E. Z. Church
As a fitting culmination to Negro Achievement Week, the Student's Literary and Debating League of Brooklyn, under aupices of the Duo-Art Guild of Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, supported an extraordinary program at the church on Sunday afternoon.
Presiding was Miss Jewell Burnett, president of the Duo-Art Guild, who presented Mrs. M. C. Lawton, Ellis Williams and Mac D. D. Holder president of the Student's League. From them came greetings from their respective fields.
The principal speaker was H. C. Crosswath. The speaker revealed experiences of other races who at some times were victims of defeat, and yet have been able to surmount vast difficulties and triumph over oppressing forces.
The world today is in an unhealthy situation due to the rapid changes in the technical world; they are so rapid until it is almost impossible for students to keep up with the times. It is evidence of the fact that the world is coming nearer and nearer to one great human race. If the people whom God must have loved are to survive, they must come together and develop power. And this cannot be done without sharing responsibilities. The most important power being economic power and the step to economic power is economic strength. When we shall have attained those heights, we shall win the respect of other men, and our task will be oer.
Rev. W. C. Brown commended the speaker.
"Deep River" and "Go down Moses" were rendered effectively by Theodore McAdden and Sylvester Bryant, both of New York City. A group from the junior choir sang several selections also.

Brooklyn Club Hears About Negro In New York
"The Negro in New York" was the subject of a talk by Walter White, acting secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., at a meeting of the Civitas, at the Neighborhood Club, Wednesday afternoon.
"The Negro in New York", said Mr. White, "is better situated than anywhere else in the country because people are too busy to stop and think about race problems; because magistrates and judges in a city of mixed races are fearful of being accused of race prejudice, and because of the greater variety of industries open to Negro laborers.
"Harlem," according to Mr. White, "with its gaudy, hilarious night club, has attracted attention because of its tendency to be found in any other part of the city, but it represents only 10 per cent of the Negro inhabitants of that section Night club prices and the crowding of resorts by white people prohibits the majority of the Harlemites from going in them."

Albert E. Saunders
Faces Fraud Charge
(Continued from First Page)
bank book was passed to Saunders, the undertaker.
He declared that both Saunders and Irene Gains have known him for a number of years, and knew that he was the husband of the deceased woman. He said that both had seen him during the past year and told that he alleged that they sought to have him ministration issued on the said estate to another person, claiming that he was dead.
Mr. Woolford charges that the couple did not abandon their attempt to have letters of administration issued on the estate until it was necessary for them to irix the day and date of his death. He further declared that it was their intention to have the money withdrawn from the bank and divided three from the Albert Saunders to get a third, Irene Gains to get a third, and an unknown person to get the other third.
Saunders, the husband said, came to him and informed him that if he would give him $200 on account of the alleged legal bill, he would give him some valuable information. To find out the information, Woolford says he gave Saunders his personal check for the amount he then paid payed him a after he had paid that the undertaker was implicated with Irene Gains in unlawfully disposing of the estate.
Got Jewelry, Too.
Saunders is alleged to have told that husband that he had paid $200 to the agent of a certain surgey company to get letters of administration so that the money could be obtained and divided. The undertaker is further alleged to have said that when Minne Woolford died, Irene Gains went to the Wiley Wilson Sanitarium and demanded all of the jewelry there belonging to the deceased, and upon the refusal of Dr. Wiley Wilson, she asked him if the same would be delivered to her upon the written authorization of Saunders, having an affirmative reply. Saunders is said to have authorized Dr. Wilson to deliver the jewelry to Irene Gains, although Woolford says he is ignorant of the authority upon which said authorization was given. In court, Thursday, all were told to file answers to the petition.

groes and whites are daming to

Copeland Denies Charges.
Mr. Copeland declared that New York, with forty-three languages spoken within its limits, had many delicate problems to meet.
"It does hurt us," he said "when a Senator rises here to give the impression that there is a connivance on the part of those in authorities in our cities and our State to break down what he calls the barriers between the races.
"I know of many Negroes in the cities of New York. There is not one of them but would applaud what I saw now, that nobody desires intermarriage and interrelationship between the races in New York or elsewhere.
We are striving as best we can to make good citizens of these people, of all colors and all races, and all religions who have chosen to live in New York Cities, and it is not true, no matter who says it that those in authorities in my State and in my cities have committed with or winked at any violation of those conventions which all civilization has come to recognize as important."
Senator Walsh Talks.
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts pointed out that "in every State university except in the Southern states, in every public school in America, colored children are received on an equal basis with white children" and added that "every church in New England New York Wisconsin, California and in nearly all of the states of the Union receive on an equal basis the colored boys and girls of state people in the worship of food." "So the issue raised here is one of sectionalism," added Senator Walsh, "an attempt to denounce and condemn the practice in all the states of the Union of permitting colored boys and girls and men and women to worship food in Protest as well as Catholics churches."
ored people who have come up into the North and the West and are unable to support a church of their own? Must we say 'none but whites can pray to God here? None but whites can love God here? None but whites can serve God here? The conception of religious tolerance recognizes the Christian recognition in the United States Senate? God banish hate and jealousy and envy and rivalry, religious and racial, from this land of ours."

Board 23 years; clerk of the Deacon's Board 16 years; church clerk for 12 years.
While attending the spiritual things of life, Deacon Powell found time to learn ice cream manufacturing, and after working as the only Negro foreman for the Reid Ice Cream Company, he went into business for himself.
He and his wife, who is known for her innate modesty and Christian life, have reared a happy family. One son, Clarence, is in the express business; the other, R. Lincoln jr., is in the Federal Postal Service, and his only daughter, Miss S. Louse Powell, is a school teacher. She takes after her father in that she is a great lover of music, and is one of Brooklyn's best known alto solists.

SENATE HEARS LYNCHING THREAT.
That august body, the United States senate, heard a threat of lynching hurled by one of its members against another the day last week, without winking. The member who made the dire prediction was Senator Thomas J. Heflin of Alabama, who has declared war against Tamany Hall, the Pope of Rome and all other forces that he thinks are opposed to his election. Senator Copeland of New York was the special object of his wrath and he declared that the New Yorker would be lynched if he ever campaigns in the South for the Presidency.
It seems that the special cause that initiated the Alabama Senator was that Mr. Copeland asked to have expunged from the Congressional Record a letter written by Heflin, in which he declared that Governor Roosevelt former Governor Smith and Mayor Walker were responsible for the intermarriage of whites and negroes in New York. Dr. Copeland contended that the letter was offensive to the State of New York, and as such was admissible under the Senate rules. The letter had been inserted by Heflin on the previous day without any indication of its contents. But after Dr. Copeland objected to its insertion Heflin had it read in the Senate.
According to the correspondent of the New York World, Heflin visualized what would happen if Copeland ever runs for president and campaigns in the South as follows:

The member who made the dire prediction was Senator Thomas J.

Senator Copeland of New York was the special object of his wrath and he declared that the New Yorker would be lynched if he ever, campaigns in the South for the Presidency.
It seems that the special cause that infuriated the Alabama Senator was that Dr. Copeland asked to have expunged from the Congressional Record a letter written by Heflin, in which he declared that Governor Roosevelt former Governor Smith and Mayor Walker were responsible for the intermarriage of whites and Negroes in New York.

According to the correspondent of the New York World, Heflin visualized what would happen if Copeland ever runs for President and campaigns in the South as follows:
"They will ask," Heflin said. "It is the fellow that tried to have Tom's letter expunged from the Record when he protested against the marriage of Negroes and whites. It will be said. He is the same fellow." "Well, they will say, we will give it to him (here) Heflin executed an enriched movement with his arm, as though tying a rope around his neck) in the neck." That was, a disgraceful scene to be enacted before the highest body of the station's lawmakers. One member threatening another with the menace of mob murder in open session. And yet the enate refused to enact a law to makeenching punishable in the Federal courts.

The selection of a commission of five mfmembers to investigate conditions in Haiti, with the view of initiating a change in the policy of this government, was announced by President Hoover last week. As head of the commission, Mr. Hoover named W. Cameron Forbes, a former Governor. General of the Philippines, who comes from Massachusetts. The other members/are: Henry P. Fletcher-of Pennsylvania former American Ambassador to Italy and well versed in unraveling international snarls; Ellie Vezina of Rhode Island a close student of Haitian affairs and a prominent layman of the Catholic Church; James Kerney of New Jersey, a newspaper editor and a close friend of the late President Wilson; and William Allen White, a Kansasa editor and writer.
It was stated that the President desired to name several Senators and Representatives to serve on the commission but that the members of Congress have shown a hesitancy about serving and it is believed that they have misunderstood certain phases of the inquiry. In fact, the Congress avoided accepting any responsibility for the commission by merely making appropriation of fifty thousand dollars for the purpose of the investigation, to be used as the President sees fit. It is expected that the commission will go to Hajji toward the later part of February to begin its labors.
In default of appointing some outstanding American Negro as a member of the commission, the President has requested Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, to undertake an exhaustive investigation into the educational system of Haiti with a view to recommendations for the future. This is intended to provide for a supplemental commission of Negro investigators to be suggested and headed by Dr. Moton.
The main objectives of the commission headed by Mr. Forbes, as set forth by the President, are to investigate when and how the American government and the United States marines are to be withdrawn from Haiti and what shall be done
in the island in the meantime. Under the existing treaty the American occupation can be prolonged until 1936, but public sentiment seems to have been aroused against continued military rule. In both houses of Congress opposition has been voiced to present conditions.
While no exception can be taken to the character and ability of the members of the commission appointed by the President, it remains to be seen whether they can put aside the differences of race and nationality and get at the root of trouble in dealing with Haiti. There are essential differences of all sorts to be reconciled before the Haitians can conceive of American intervention as any other than the highhanded conquest of a weaker nation by a stronger power. The attitude of the mooders, mostly prejudiced Southerners, has only-added insult to injury.
In all phases of the investigation allowance must be made for these conditions, which have entered into all relations between the forces of the occupation and the subjugated owners of the soil. Whether the new commission can add anything to the testimony already gathered as to the wrongs committed against Haiti is doubtful. It should be able to find a way to get American marines out of the island, however, in short order.
Not so long ago there went up a cry that the learned professions, especially law and medicine, were being overstocked with Negro graduates, and that many of those who had worked for college degrees entitling them to practice; could not find any clients and were obliged to go on the road or take a place as porter or messenger to keep body and soul together. Then came a later discovery that in so far as the doctors were concerned, the supply on hand was inadequate to battle with the many diseases that threatened the millions of the race, and that hundreds more were needed to fill out the quota essential to ensure a perfect ratio.
The great trouble with these two professions is the fact that the new practitioner of either law or medicine is apt in most cases to gravitate toward the large cities. Thus we find, according to the statistician that while certain cities may have several doctors to the block, there may be smaller towns or country districts where one may have to travel miles in order to secure medical aid or treatment. The young physician as a rule is not of the pioneer type and seldom cares to settle in a small place where his practice may be limited and his outlook restricted, both from the point of financial returns and progress in his professional career.
The same thing is true of the graduates of the law schools, hence we find most of the young lawyers have moved in a body upon the large cities, where there is seldom enough legal business of a legitimate kind to afford the newcomer a fair living and he is obliged either to seek police court work or enter into politics as a means of support. So good a statistician as Charles E. Hall has shown that the saturation point for our lawyers has already been reached in many cities, based on the number of colored inhabitants, and that point is fast being reached in others of the large cities, of which New York is one.
On the other hand there are about one hundred and twenty-two cities in which there are five thousand or more Negro inhabitants, some of which offer excellent opportunities for alert and honest young attorneys. As a requisite to their professional success, however, the astute statistician points out that they must be of that class, "who are not constantly in quest of the primrose path, but who desire to make money and render groupal service without chasing ambulances, or hi-jacking their professional brethren in the police courts."
The concensus of opinion seems to be that there is a legitimate demand for the services of well-equipped young professional men, and women too, in both law and medicine but that there should be a wider distribution of them all over the country in places where the race has need of their services. So the problem of distribution can only be solved by the proper choice of a field by the practitioner of law or medicine. And this may depend upon how strong a hold the flesh pots of the great city may have for him.
LETTING DOWN LABOR BARS.
What may be taken as an indication of the intention to let down the color bar and permit Negro labor to enter, or afLabor was revealed in an editorial pubfillate with, the American Federation of lished in the January issue of the American Federationist. President William Green is editor of this organ of the Federation, so it may be taken to set forth with authority the official views of his administration. The fact that such an editorial should be published, stressing

is necessity for the organization and education of Negro labor, would seem to be an effort to prepare labor unionists for a more liberal policy in this direction. After stating the primary plea for organization was to achieve status in industry, including higher, wages, just and honest working conditions and shorter hours of work, it is maintained that all these things are essential to high social and political standing. Whether these declarations are intended to impress white labor with the necessity for including all groups of workers in the effort to secure and retain these essentials, or to show Negro workers what they may gain by affiliating with the Federation, is unimportant. The argument is a double-barrelled one; it may shoot both ways and hit a mark.
The real point of the article, which leads as if it was meant to appeal especially to the black workers, who are not affiliated with any labor organization, leads as follows:

The argument is a double-barreled one; it may shoot both ways and still hit a mark.
The real point of the article, which reads as if it was meant to appeal especially to the black workers, who are not affiliated with any labor organization, reads as follows:
Trade union membership is open to all Negroes. The majority of trade unions accept Negroes as members, but when regulations are imposed the rules of the American Federation of Labor provide that Negro workers may apply for a charter direct from the American Federation of Labor.
"No group or race can win permanent advantages by taking unfair advantage, by exploitation or undercutting standards. Through union organization the Negro can raise his standards and the American Federation stands ready to help."
The statement that "trade-union membership is open to all Negroes" would appear to be a trifle ahead of the facts of the situation. It was only a few weeks ago that the members of a labor local in Ohio were busy picketing a business place for employing colored help, on the ground that the workers were not union men. And yet when these workers had applied for admission to the local union that trade, they were denied membership. A similar case in Ohio, a year or so ago, was taken into court in order to get an injunction against picketing under such conditions.
The final paragraph of the Federation's editorial may be taken as a warning directed to the Negro workers, who it is implied are taking an unfair advantage by being the subjects of exploitation, in undercutting standards. If such conditions exist, and it would be strange if they did not, it will be found that the only way in which members of this group have been excluded from the labor unions, could obtain employment, was by entering an industry upon the terms offered by the employers.
However, if the Federation has seen new light on this subject of barring black labor and finds such discrimination works to the advantage of capital, it is the policy of an enlightened self-interest to take the black workers into the union. It is only by including all groups of labor into such a combination, that it can secure the benefits that unionism promises its members.

JUSTICE IN MISSISSIPPI
When a Southern court decides in favor of a Negro in a criminal proceeding, in which a white person is the prosecutor, the case is so exceptional as to demand more than ordinary notice. The fact that the Supreme Court of Mississippi dismissed a disbarment order against S. D. Redmond, a Negro attorney of Jackson and chairman of the State Republican executive committee, is one, of such cases, the original order disbarring Redmond
When a Southern court decides in favor of a Negro in a criminal proceeding, in which a white person is the prosecutor, the case is so exceptional as to demand more than ordinary notice. The fact that the Supreme Court of Mississippi dismissed a disbarment order against S. D. Redmond, a Negro attorney of Jackson and chairman of the State Republican executive committee, is one of such cases. The original order disbarring Redmond as an attorney was made by Chancellor V. J. Streicher, in the Supreme Court of Hinds county, from which Mr. Redmond appealed to the Supreme Court of the State.
Mississippi diser against S. D.ney of Jackson Republican exe of such cases.
The grounds upon which the colored attorney was disbarred were specified in four counts: Charging an exorbitant and unauthorized fee for administering an estate, perjury before a Federal court judge, perjured testimony regarding an alleged agreement with the district attorney, and the selling of public offices. His disbarment took place after a committee appointed by the chancellor preferred charges against all the colored lawyers practising in Jackson. The Hinds county bar association had refused these charges when requested by the chancellor to do so. The animus of the chancellor in sustaining the charges may be gathered from the language used by him in discussing the specification relating to the political activities of the accused. We quote him: "I want to congratulate and commend the illustrious and grayhaired father of one of the leading counsel for the defense and the Confederate veterans, by whose efforts this question of niggers participating in politics was eliminated and set at rest. Niggers in politics—handling Federal patronage! What do you think of that, gentlemen? This thing must be stopped."
After this unjudicial and prejudiced summing up of the testimony on this specification, the intolerant chancellor ruled that Mr. Redmond should be disbarred as an attorney and forbidden to practice law
in any of the courts in Mississippi. Appeal was taken and the Supreme Court held that there was not sufficient reason to justify the disbarment in any or all of the counts specified. The entire case was reversed and Mr. Redmond pronounced

"BETTER BABY
By Dr. ALONZO deG
If I asked you what made the locomotive go you would quickly say the coal, heat, energy or steam. Not so easy is the answer to the question that heads this column. Yet activity is characteristic of normal, healthy infancy. One might imagine that adults were less active. But this is not so. Life is action. Where there is no activity there is no Life. Down at Coney Island there is a contrivance in continuous state of unexpected movement in various directions, and we are carried On. When it was as it were, and strives, must strive, if he would maintain his equilibrium and stay on. So is it with Life. We are continually buffeted by our ever- shifting environment. We are continually preserved and balanced. Therefore we must go, we must act, we must strive. Most of the time we do not realize this struggle. But any sudden change—a loss of health, wealth, relatives or job—throws us off of balancing. Therefore we must act for a state which gives satisfaction.
The baby is made to 'go' by the same force which makes you as parent go. We go in the direction of equilibration by certain parallels. (1) We tend to move away from physical discomfort to physical well-being. If baby is wet, hungry or being stuck by a pin, he cries, yells, kicks until something is done to relieve his state of dissatisfaction. This desire or physical comfort is so common that it does not need further elaboration. (2) We tend to move from failure in a situation to mastery. Children will try and try again to build a house or steeple of blocks. If the house falls down, the blocks and attack another tow or situation until they find one which they can master to their satisfaction.

(3) We tend to act so as to gain recognition of our actions and avoid being ignored. Here parents will tell me I am wrong. "Doesn't the little scamp do everything but what I tell him?"
Now, recognition may not be approval. It is notice or attention. Children like to occupy the center of the stage. They delight in "showing off." So do adults. They do friends. Some individuals have tendencies two and three in an exaggerated form. We say they like to dominate the situation. So do the children like to dominate their parents. And vice versa.
(4) We tend to avoid situations which cause us anxiety and embrace those which give us a sense of relief, security and peace of mind. This urge will also help us explain the case to our tutor when the result task to another. "The line of least resistance" is a familiar phrase.
(5) We tend to seek experiences which increase our rest and joy in living and avoid those that are boresome and monotonous. Many an overworked housewife and mother can testify to this desire, albeit she sees powerless to change the situation.
(6) We tend to move from a state of being unwanted to a state of affection, love and intimacy. This is so in the narrow, individual sense, and in the larger, social sense, "Man is by nature a social being." We tend to seek friends, social interaction and finally some one individual as a mate.
These various drives or urges animate every normal individual from babe to adult. They are operative singly or in combination every walking moment of our life. If you can think of a situation in which this is the case, you are the baby. Meanwhile, observe your baby yourself, and others in the light of these ideas.

Objecting to the passage: of the barber licensing bill, which is before the present Virginia legislature in revised form, the Norfolk Journ and Guide said:
Barbering is essentially a trade or craft, and the effort to give it a professional status by seeking to make it appear that it is akin to practicing medicine is the veriest nonsense, a fact alytly supported by 300 years of successful and satisfying barbering by men who could handle the difficult of the human anatomy. Like any other craft the only protection barbering needs to rely on is that which is found in trade unionism. The only protection the public needs from it is that which inheres in our public health statutes. And it is, because the trade is one the peculiarities of the profession, is a defensive weapons the policies and principles of trade unionism, it is now sought to professionalize it and bring it under the control of a bureaucracy with the ultimate view of restricting the number of its practitioners.
The barber licensing bill is unnecessary and an economic menace to hundreds of Virginiaans and Americans by birth, edition and age, who are eking out an existence with the razor and shears. The Legislature is asked to pass by this unnecessary meddling; this effort to have the State to foster a closed guild for a group that wants to obtain an invulnerable hold on a specific occupation.
Even the elimination of the eighth-grade educational requirement and a six-month course in a barbering college for apprentices has not made the measure acceptable.
Lamenting the fact that so much energy is wasted, or at all events expended, in the attempt to secure justice, the Boston Chronicle said:
Last Wednesday a committee of colored citizens called upon Governor 'Allen to protest against an alleged unfair discrimination practised in the case of two of our boys in their efforts at obtaining positions under the Civil Service. In the course of the discussion, Attorney Cyril F. Butler bewailed the fact that colored people in college and colored people in junior and young women in particular are made to suffer unjust hardships in their daily pursuit of their livelihood. True it is, that we are made to lose too much time and energy toward the attainment, of those little things which other people get as a matter of course. And while we are laboring to remove injustices, other people are striving successfully, toward large and worthwhile groups. Thus we find we are awarded by way of recognition, in the appointment of their own to high public office; and the great masses of their kin to positions in public and quasi-public service.
The Chronicle demands something constructive in the way of opportunities for a decent livelihood for our youths in the public service.
Commenting on the reports that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is preparing for a nation-wide fight for jobs for Negroes in industry, the St. Louis Argus said:
We do not see the wisdom of such a move on the part of the Association, fact, because our knowledge of the purposes of the Association we think that such a step is very unwise at this time.
To get jobs for us and to exploit new fields for employment for the Negroes is the principal work of the Urban League. Take that from the Urban League and use it to exist and maintain of that organization. Then, too, the N. A. A. C. P., has its hands full if it continues to fight for the civil and political rights, which are daily being denied - the Negroes throughout this country. A. A. C. P. do not think that lynching, racial discrimination, jim-crowsm and disfranchisement have disappeared with the going out of the year of 1929. The sign, of the time indicates that unless some organization can help P. C. P. three things will show themselves more in the year of 1930 than ever before. Of course, we all know that employment we want and employment
feed. Which is the unusual and of news. Helping the destitute is of course an old story. But serving one meal a day—three places are provided for the serving—to persons who can't feed themselves because of illness or food, is possibly a precedent in that particular respect in North Carolina
The second unusual feature in this incident is that the colored people are attempting to provide for their own. The enterprise is sponsored by Negro community chest and the student of the Negro community chest. The ministers and church circles of the race are assisting in the relief work. No doubt the white people are contributing; their willingness to aid is taken for granted if their help is not noted by the colored people. Goldshore have a community chest and that they are at least sharing the responsibility of providing for the destitute among their own people. That is a development of citizenship that cause for commendation; a natural nature that feels responsibility for those in need and is willing to share it.
Marriage is like stud poker. It costs only a few dollars to enter, but marriage in every few minutes thereafter.
A thirteen-year-old girl who says "it is I" has been discovered by an authorist. She is being safeguarded the "It's me" of our country.
we must have, but we also know that being deprived of civil and political rights, employment advances a race but little. Granting that the two go hand in hand, we would suggest that the Urban League take care of the one and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People take care of the other. The St. Louis editor, evidently be lives in the old age, that cacades the shoeraker to stick to his law, regardless of the fact that this is an age of machines and mergers.
A special to the Moines Lowland Bystander from Muscatine announced the following assertion of equal rights by a local court:
Five men came before Police Judge J. C. Coster and Justice H. D. Horst Tuesday evening on various charges. Oscar Loovy, in charge of the White House lunch at Second and Cedar streets, pleaded guilty to a charge of denying rights at a public eating house, and was fired $5 and costed county Attorney Harry Billion filled the courtroom and alleged that Loovy fused to serve Harry Roberts, Negro. Muscatine has been reported to be one of the most liberal towns in Iowa with regard to upholding the rights of Negro citizens. The officials announced that they will not tolerate discrimination against colored citizens.
While the amount of the fine may sound ridiculously small to Eastern ears, it may serve to vindicate the principle involved, together with the official pronouncement against discrimination of that sort.
Talking about unemployment, the Indianapolis Recorder said that the average citizen would be amazed to know the great extent to which it prevails among the laboring classes of that city. It continued:
The nature of the situation is such that it demands not only positive and serious attention, but the taking of immediate steps with a view of bringing needed relief to a long-suffering people.
To the shutting down of numerous factories and other local industries is rightly attributed much of the wide spread unemployment. And only through a general resumption of the productive activities of the latter will it be possible to provide needed work for hundreds of deserving Indianapolis men and women, have no other honest means of providing themselves with a livelihood.
We note with satisfaction that leading industrial plants of the city are contemplating at a considerably earlier date than heretofore planned to open up avenues of employment. The program is truly one that can no longer be briefly into effect. That it is high time that something in the latter connection be done, no right thinking citizen acquainted in the least with the actual state of affairs economically, locally is capable of conscientiously depriving.
It is admitted that the suffering among the jobless hundreds is most severe and pronounced among the Negro group.
With the inquiry, "Where is Justice?" the Louisville Leader pointed out the absence of that quality in the courts, when dealing with Negro accused of crimes. It said:
It was expected that the Tennessee Negro who killed his employer's child because he called him a "inger" and then in a fit of anger murdered the mother and father, would be given the extreme penalty for this. This was the most brutal deeds. While the ciprobious enthet should be resented by every Negro, and no Negro should apply it to another member of his race, we cannot concede of any one killing the whole family because of the insult and no one could do such a thing but a gruesome stain. But this kind of argument does not enter in the case where a Negro in the culprit in Tennessee and other parts of these United States. The Negro, however must have been insane but he could not have been guilty of such men as jurors in Tennessee after murdering three white persons.
Right here in Louisville, this week a well-known colored man, a church man, a man of character, a chauffeur who, because of life and living had won the respect of the white people, knew how to know him was forced to suffer humiliation in our court for defending himself against the abuse and attacks of a Negro hater. This colored man was on the job attending to his own business, when he was attacked for no other reason than a Negro had no business but to cause the cause. He was beaten and what the colored man, who could stand no more, defended himself in good fashion, he was an "impudent Negro", and fired $300 Impudent and fired because he dared defend himself as any other red-blooded man he taught in America, with the Negro as a better milil as time passes.
Any fair-minded person knowing the facts in this case would have concluded that dragging the colored man into court was punishment enough without adding insult to injury, and the loyalty of the girl white friends who tried to harm the girl did not take from this chauffer an expression which seemed to ask—Where is justice?
Our answer: It may not be let yet but God is not dead.
Three hundred dollars fine is a heavy penalty for acting in self-defence, but it might have been a print on sentence as well.
MANHATTAN & BROOKLYN RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Bethel A. M. E. Church
Allen Day was celebrated in all departments of the church through out the day. The congregation was preset at the eleven o'clock-services, to hear the pastor deliver a masterful sermon upon the foundation of the church in Dr. Romans, the text was found in Dr. Iman, 11th chapter 17th verse.
We were reminded by the pastor that our, A. M. E. Church was today one hundred and forty-three years old, it being founded in 1787 in Philadelphia by Richard Allen. The church of African Methodism is as old as the constitution of the United States. The spirit of independence was in the air and Richard Allen caught the spirit. The foundation and root of our Christianity was the Hebrew religion; the church of our Jewishism was Christianity. "We are likened to an olive tree, and its branches and if the branches become had they are torn off, and good branches are grafted in." African Methodism is a branch of that tree, and when it becomes unloved they will be torn up and another branch spring forth in its stead. Four united with the church. Allen Day was also observed by the church school. Essews were read by the young peoples department and the primary department. Paul Patton, rendered a pleasing program of chorus singing and recitations.
In observance of the day a special program of singing and reading was gawn by the Floral Circle of the University of Michigan and Miss D. Thompson, Mesdames Hart, Avery, Atkinson, solos Oscar 'Carlson, violinist; baritone solos Messrs. Landers and Overton, tenor soloist E. Sewell; closing remarks by Rev.

He was a master sermon, full of his wisdom, traced the origin of Methodism through John Wesley, and then of African Methodism through Richard Allen. He closed his message with brief remarks about our own Emanuel, since the occasion marked also his fourth anniversary as pastor. The Sunday school held its session at "the usual hour. There were at least two to take charge of overflow from different classes, especially in the primary department.

The field is the world; the soucer is the Sun of Man; the Farewell is the day on which the Reaper will separate the good from the bad; the Comet is the day. Since there is no point in peeling the wheat and tares must grow together. The church is the place for people to want to be the place of Christ. There still is virtue, morals and faith within the church, and the church that takes people in and altarizes the fire in a temple. The church that is charitable and forgiving is the church that is striving to follow the example of Christ.

Those who worshiped at St. Paul last Sunday were blessed with messages of hope and joy. The pastor was at his best in the morning when he preached on "Sorrow and Joy. It was a vivid word-picture of suffering. They are with dramatic episodes of joy and sorrow. The fabric of life, he intimated, is interwoven with the golden strands of joyous moments and the silver threads of keen distresses, but the whole is or may be a glorious pattern of divine harmony a patchwork of damnable discord. The afternoon service was well attended. Rev. Dr. Johnson delivering the sermon. The pastor preached again at eight o'clock using as his subject, "Promise to Comfortor." He said that this message of the Comfortor depended upon our human relationships, Christ's intercession for us, and man's voluntary acceptance of the promise.

St. Mark's M. E. Church
A large congregation was in attendance last Sunday morning when Dr. John W. Robinson, pastor, preached from St. Matthew 4.17, and the text "The Kingdom of God is immanent." He said, "The rule or reign of righteousness justice, goodness and peace or which the gospel is proclaimed, churches built and maintained, and federated organizations function is of paramount importance to the Kingdom of God on earth and heaven. That hysteria aroused by fear of racial security provokes most inconsiderate acts and words. We regard the expressions of Dr. Hobart of the Greater New York Federation of Churches as a most horrific illustration of this hysteria and only his personal expression.
The right of the Negro to seek for his family the very best home environment is fundamental. If he does not rent or buy in a neighborhood where white people live, where else can he buy or rent? If he does not rent or buy in a prominent church that he may not tolerate to worship in a mixed group, it is not the fault of the Negro. What is to become of the fast vanishing protestantism which has no mission to the laws, which regards the Catholics with its large foreign constituency with grave apprehension, while Protestant brother in black is told that he is not wanted by his worshipers among them? Americans need aid to protect them must predicate its claim upon the rule and reign of righteousness, justice, goodness and peace, or else stand repudiated or humiliated in records of God and man.
He further stated that the more careful people are in the choice of their words the less there will be of misunderstanding. He deplored the fact often in disastrous cases. He noted that their own Aymedian the candidate comes to the church and states that he is a "Dry" candidate and procures the endowment of the church, but as soon as he is elected-and gets into a position to show his colors he votes "Wet" giving as his reason that it is the desire of his constituents that he votes "Wet" himself around about it the church he regards as another of the church officials are "Wet" at heart and desire that he votes "Wet."

Bison rang up only three field
goals during the entire game.
Hall, Howard's left-forward, shot
9 fouls out of 11 tries, and Taylor.
Bison's right guard made 4" out of

H. Lawrence Freeman
Given Cane By Friends
H. Lawrence Freeman of 214 West 127th street, recipient of a Harmon Award of a gold medal and $400 in recognition of his distinguished achievement in music, was the recipient of a surprise tendered to him by the music club composed of members some of whom have affiliated with him in the past in the presentation of his operas, the surprise coming on Saturday night, February 8, at his home, and the whole affair culminating in the presentation of a handsome gold-headed cane.
But before the cane was presented there was a gathering of several score friends and admirers in the spacious parlor of his attractive home who were given an opportunity of looking over the books of some half-score of operas, products of his fecund imagination, from his first 'conception, "The Octeroon," to the last, which was produced recently, "Voodoo." It was an exhibit of unusual accomplishment, and even the uninitiated found matter of interest in the various books of the operas, not only those for the various voice parts, but those for full instrumental orchestration as well.
Then came an hour of music, with renditions of excerpts from his operas, with the composer at the piano, by his wife, Carlotta, soprano, who has appeared in all productions; his son, Valdo, baritone, who likewise has been a member of each producing company; by his friends, John Eckles, tenor, and Blanche Smith-Eckles, soprano, and by Roland Smith, baritone, who was understudy for Jules Bledsoe, the famous interpreter of "Old Man River" in Ziegfeld's "Show Boat."
There were other musical renditions by artists with whose identity, unfortunately, I am not familiar, and then came an invitation to the dining room below. For an hour or more devoted friend to duty as myself served devotion to duty in the devastating of a heavily laden board, and then Mr. Eckles, on behalf of the club, presented the handsome cane, an emblem of their pledge to support the distinguished composer and guest in all of his efforts.
Then followed a resort to other rooms and a period of worship at the shrine of Terpsichore, with a tardy and regretful leavetaking in the early hours of the Sabbath morning.
The Lamb Ensemble
Sings In Montclair
Montclair, N J.—A goodly audience assembled in the Hillside School Auditorium, Orange road on Thursday evening, February 6, to hear a program of varying interest sung by the Wilson Lamb Ensemble, with Mr Lamb directing, and Cora Wynn Alexander at the piano. The concert was under auspices of the Missionary Society of Emmanuel A. M E. Church, Mission street, the Rev. A L. McWade, pastor.
Mr. Lamb presented a new soloist in the person of Ethel Caesar, contralto, who sang Reichardt's "Love's request" and "Connais to le pass" from the opera, "Mignon," by Thomas. Miss Caesar disclosed a voice which has some good qualities, but which has not reached a point of development that would warrant her appearance before a more sophisticated audience. But she is a Montairl girl, and was given a cordial and hearty reception by her home-town folks. By request she sang later in the evening the Intermezzzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana" by Mascagni. The Ensemble enclosed its program with a massive Chorus by Seymour (Nach, Bach) and a Ridge-Taylor as programmed by Te Dum Laudamus in F. The group sang with its accustomed vigor, although several of the singers were absent. They have attained a well-rounded and balanced precision of attack, a sonority of utterance and nicety of phrasing.
Other ensemble numbers were a Madrigal, "Thine eyes so bright," by Moustorgsorgy; "Joshua" by Mozart which sounded somewhat like a Negro Spiritual; "The Bridegroom cometh," by Korsakoff, the well-titled "Echo Song" by di Lazare, and a group of Spirituals—I'm a rolling, "Swing low, sweet charm" by Burleigh, and "Negro Song" (Mary had a Rabbit) arranged for seven of them, late Natalie Curis Burlin. Other late numbers were by Lula Hill and Frederick Moss, and there was a duet "Robin Woman," from Cadman's opera, "Shaneews," by Mr. Moss and Mme. Bernerdene Mason.
Kemper Harreld In Annual Violin Recital
Atlanta, Ga —Kamper Harreld,
vistim, head of the Department
of Music at Morehouse College,
appeared in his annual recital in
Sale Hall Chapel, Morehouse College,
under auspices of the Morehouse
College Y M C A, on Friday
evening February 7, assisted
by Ms. Harreld M Gay, cellist;
the Morehouse College Quartet;
the spelman College Quartet, and
Miss Irene Hobbs, accompanist.
Mr. Harreld opened the recital
with the Handel Sonata in D (dantum
continuo; allegro; Larghette;
Allegro), a pretentious work in
this class form, which he played
with an authoritative interpreter.
The Mendelssohn Concerto
Minor (Allegro molto appassionato).
Andante, Allegro molto a
bass was his second offering.
He next played a group of numbers representing a variety of schools of composition. There were a Rondino on a Theme, beethoven by Kreisler; "En bateau" by Debusy; Canzonetta by d'Ambrosio; a Negro Melody arranged by Mr. Harreld ("You may bury me in the East, You may bury me in the West"), and a Spanish Serenade by Chaminade-Kreisler. His final offering was a Fantalsie-Caprice by Vieuxtemps. The Spelman Quartet sang "On the Steppe" by Gretchaninoff, and "He Rose" by Combs, and the more Overseas Quartet sang "Pale Moon" by Logan, and "Chalita" by Scherzinger, Mitsch G played the Berceuse from "Jocelyn" by Godard and "Moment Musical" by Schubert. The work of Miss Hobbs at the piano during the evening was most excellent.
"Hansel and Gretel"
Sung at Spelman College
Atlanta, Ga.—On Friday evening the Spelman High School Chorus, assisted by the Morehouse College Orchestra, presented "Hansel and Gretel," adapted from the opera by Humperdinck and Berta Elismith. The operetta, which is based on old legend, gives an opportunity for the arts of acting, and the chorus of barely voices exhibited both talent and excellent training. Miss Lillian E. Webster, director of the chorus, a graduate of the University of Kansas, has a reputation for special skill in directing student groups. The principal characters were: "Peter," a binder of brooms, Thelma Brock; "Gertrude," his wife, Ruth Toomer; "Hansel and Gretel," their childrens, Mable Murphey and Jeannette Hubert; and the Witwatica Renaissance Groups were: "Sandinet," Grade 10, "Angels," Grade 10; "Dew Metn," "Cookie Children," and "Witches," Grade 9.
In addition to being an exceptionally good performance, the operetta was a demonstration of careful planning and management. The attractive costumes were of inexpensive material, and were made by students, faculty members and parents, and the scenery was also home-made. The smoothness with which the arrangements were made and carried out, and the courtesy with which the large audience was taken care of, were tributes to the committees in charge and the team-work of the group. On the staff were: Juanta Jamerson, business manager; Beautine Hubert, stage manager; Anna Reed, property manager; and Sybil Carter, head usher.
The Musical Art Forum
Orange. N. J.—At its usual Sunday afternoon meeting, the Musical Art Forum of Orange presented a unique feature in that the program in its main features was presented entirely by pupils of Wilson Lamb the Wilson Lamb, Male Ensemble, composed of Frank Murtha, first tenor, David J Lewis, second tenor; John Carney, baritone, Clyde Emmons, bass, sang a program of quartet numbers in fine line, evidencing a considerable progress in the art of ensemble singing. Particularly effective was their singing of "Asleep in the deep," with Mr Emmons doing the solo part. Solos were given by Messrs Emmons, Carney and Murtha, and by Harry Hager, baritone, another of Mr Lamb's pupils, though not a member of the ensemble Mr Hager displayed a voice of attractive timbre well handled. For a group of tenor members, Cora Wynn Alexander, the official studio pianist, a daughter of the late Rev R D. Wynn, a former pastor of the Abysinian Haptist Church, was the accompanist, and Mrs. Alice Russell Michelaux served as matress of ceremonies
At conclusion of the musical numbers, the Rev Mr David J. Lewis, second tenor of the Ensemble, was introduced and spoke for twenty minutes on the "Divinity of Art" His address was scholarly and erudite, exhibiting depth of thought and sympathetic comprehension, developing the thought that art, in its divine essence, is an eliminative of ignorance and its faithful companion, prejudice. The final feature of the afternoon was the serving to one sixty guests, more than half of whom were members of a sunptious manner by the ladies of the Musical Art. Forum as proxies for Mr. Lamb, the host. The menu embraced olives, pickles, celery, potato salad, roast chicken with dressing, hot rolls, butter, variegated jelly with whipped cream, home made pound cake, chocolate cake; laver cake, coffee.

Allie's odchèstra with the revue that is 'playing at the cabaret, appeared at the Savoy Ballroom on avenue recently, as an added attraction, and were very enthusiastically received by the large audience.
The show, consisting of vocal solos and duos, ensemble numbers and eccentric dancing, was good, the orchestra was excellent, and it was a pleasure to see and behold the synchronization of these two factors; not a break in the program, each number following with precision and accuracy without a break, like the flowing of a stream.

ERNEST DePAUR IS IN RACE FOR G.E.R. OF ELKS Says Finley Wilson Has Reached Limit of Unselfish Service
Newark, N, J. "Eventually a change—Why Not Now?" is the slogan heading the announcement being sent out by Ernest Leonard DePaur, associate editor of the Newark Herald, 295 Bank street, a member of the Newark Board of Trade, a mem-committee clerk of the New Jersey State Senate, and a member of the Sunlight Lodge, No. 114, I, B, P, O, E of W, Trenton, stating that he will be a candidate for grand exalted ruler of the Elks at the forthcoming grand lodge session in August, 1930, at Detroit.
Mr. DePaur was born in Union, S. C., and attended Allen University at Columbia, the state capital, but has been in New Jersey for twenty years, following a period of service in the Philippine Insurrection with the 24th Infantry, and later with the Army Medical Corps and the famous 10th Calvary. He has served as clerk in the New Jersey Supreme Court, and was elected Justice of Peace in 1924. He defended two invocent tenure of office and for a restoration of the 60 cents per capita tax for 1930-31, and 50 cents after August, 1931. He claims that thousands are leaving the order because the present gragg exalted ruler seeks to perpetuate himself and subordinates in office, and he asserts that Finley Wilson has reached "the limit of unselfish service."
thoughtful leader. The program went off without a hitch, with sum and soap and continuity.
But whatever else could you expect from an orchestra under the leadership of Allie Ross<sup>3</sup> He has successfully met every requirement entrusted to him, whether the engagement was at Carnegie Hall Broadway, or New Star Casino The orchestra included 3 trumpets. 2 trombones, and a violin Mr. Ross did not play the violin, only conducted, and how a violin enriches a combination just as the successful manager of the Savoy Mr. Buchanan deserves thanks for his giving the masses in Harlem the opportunity to hear the high class colored orchestra.
The cabaret in which Allie and his musicians perform is not of access to race persons—the cover charge being ever present and no broadcasting is done. But the presentation at the Savoy enabled us to hear a first-ranking, orchestra Again, all hail to Mr. Buchanan for his perspicuity.
Don David, violinist and orchestra leader, of whom we recorded recently his outsting from a job by his own musicians, has had the satisfaction of seeing the whole orchestra released by the dance hall manager they induced to fire David. The orchestra lasted one week after David was put out. They immediately reported to Local 802, but were informed, it is said, that as no one of them had contracted for the job, and they had discarded their contractor David they had no cause of action against the manager, and could expect no aid from the local.
Gus Creagh is now supplying the music at the dance hall
At a radio station in Brooklyn, Lieut Porter is broadcasting for a commercial house in 125th street. Listening in on Sunday, February 9, we heard a male vocal soloist and the orchestra play several dance numbers. The singer must have had an attack of the nerves, as his trumpet was frustured so it would have been The orchestra improved in the latter part of the period. Nowadays, especially when before the mike, it is a dangerous proposition to give an orchestra free rein. Novelty arrangements can be procured and orchestra leaders should insult all musicians play what they see, or rehearse. One man playing a cello, the "Cutting Off" is a night, but when the man is joined by others indiscriminately, well loud speaker results are not so good.
Another thing, we wonder whether the studio technician had placed Leit Porter's musicians in the best possible location in relation to the mike. Hearing an orchestra which immediately followed the leitentant's instruments seemed more individual than Jake's. No, statice does not enter into this consideration.
We understand that the leitentant's under contract for this engagementoment him on his business methods, and hope he gets several renewals of the contract. There's no reason why and other leaders should not obtain this kind of work as so often stated here, if they acquire dully the microphone presence and otherwise adequately fill the bill.

Holmes Denounces Prejudice
John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Community Church. Third-fourth street and Park avenue, denounced race prejudice as a superstition, asserting that it is not a natural instinct, but a result of faculty education. He pointed out that there was no natural grouping along cultural lines among cultural ones, and asserted that grouping was the more absurd in that there were practically no pure racial strains.
Mr Holmes said that the segregation began through the accident of the Negroes having been slaves and that it would have arisen no matter what the race or color of the slaves had been. He predicted its ultimate, disappearance, and said that the Negroes now were achieving their intellectual independence, as in the last two generations they had achieved their economic independence. The Rev Dr William P Hayes, pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, presided.

U.S. Attorney Tuttle Tells Harlem That Its Future Depends on Youth
United States Attorney Charley H. Tuttle told Harlemites on Sunday-that the community needs better homes, better social and civic contacts to be tested by the individual sincerity of each member. He was addressing a meeting at St. James' Presbyterian Church, 141st street and Edgecombe avenue. In interest of the Harlem Children's Fresh Air Fund, Inc., at which meeting Dr. E. P. Roberts served as master of ceremonies.
He told the people they should get for their children by cooperation what they cannot give them as individuals, and used as an illustration the figure o Jesus setting a child in the midst of us, saying "Be like it." He pointed out the difficulty of either society or church training, and he said: Only about 'one out of twenty churches provide' properly for the child.
Privilege, prejudice and the evils of a machine age are hampering humanity, he said; but if the young people can be brought up as fit leaders, they will find a way out.

The following observations are my last on the subject of the Pullman service and the porter. In the preceding observations I have tried, in my amateurish way, to describe the operating character of this service, the type of commodity it represents and the elements involved in the selling of this commodity.
I asserted in the beginning that one of the most important elements in the operation of this service was the personal element, and that the porter was an important part of this element. I emphasized this in my observations. I now come to the summing up of the case—my conclusions.
pany taking the initiative itself in the matter. On the other hand, I know no need for the operation of the Pullman service that may be traced directly to the initiative of the porter.

The Valuable Employee
Before declaring these, I will repeat a conversation which occurred recently between a passenger and myself. The passenger is the head of a large manufacturing工厂. When I talked on the subject of labor talks, I tentive manner in which he listened to me, I thought, I had impressed him with my views. But I was mistaken. The manufacturer waited patiently until I had finished, and then he asked this question: "Porter, how many years have you woken for the Pullman Company?" "Twenty-five, sir," I replied. "In what way," was his next question, "have you made yourself valuable to your employer?" "I have been honest, I have tried to be proficient and I have been faithful," was my answer.
"Very good," was his comment to that, "But, porter, you might have omitted the honesty, that as the Pullman service in the Pullman service as you have; and, remember, honesty is a personal asset, and it as an asset which the employee must have if he intends to stay in any jobb. My man, went on the passenger, the real driver to the employee to his employer is the ability of that employee to turn his experience in his employment into cash for his employer. You might work all the days of your life for the Pullman service, suggest and devise methods that will improve that employer's business, you are not rated as a valuable man to either yourself or to your employer. You was in anyway responsible for the opinions I hold regarding the status of the porter in the Pullman service. Nevertheless the assertions of this man did help to strengthen some of my conclusions matter. Landlid put, here, they are:
Porter Hasn't Taken Advantage of Opportunities
My conclusions, after twenty-five years of experience, are that the porter is in possession of just that which he has earned in the Pullman service, no more and no less than he agrees with this assertion. I know, Such an opinion, coming as it does from a porter himself, will naturally seem strange, but, then, facts are sometimes strange and stubborn things which cannot be pushed aside. For more than half a century, the Negro has had possession of one department of the Pullman service exclusively to himself, yet, relatively speaking, he is not any better off economically than he was in the infancy of this organization than he is now, his employer for this, but I do not concur in that opinion. As a matter of fact, the company has been as liberal with its porter as could be expected, when everything is taken into consideration. Indeed, much more liberal than some corporalmen been with their Negro employees.
Employer Not a Philanthropic Organization
Furthermore, it should be borne in mind that this corporation is no philanthropic or upfit organization, despite the idea some peron may have about it. That imminent job in what way it is viewed, the fact remains that whatever improvements have been accomplished for the welfare and betterment of the porter, has been done by the com.

Mott Haven Yard News
Latest reports from the bedside of Ed. Efforts are not of an encouraging nature. The veteran, who might be called the Taft of the district, is a very stick man, and like the stricken Chief Justice, little hope is held for his recovery.
Although the present depression in business is reflected in the number of idle cars to be seen in Mott Haven Railroad service department in this district reports that the number of Pullman cars used on the New Haven Railroad during the past month were in excess of the number used on this day in the year. That reports, however, will give little comfort just now to the district's extra porters.
The regular monthly meeting of Local Committee will be held at Mott Haven Yards on Thursday of this week. From reports of the porters representatives; the men in this district are beginning to realize that as this is the only medium at present for adjusting their welfare, it should be employed.
Porter Zack Sampine, who has been all for more than a month at his home in Jamaica, has resigned from his position, during a fitness Mr. Sampine was thoughtfully remembered by the Pullman members of his crew. His remembrance was, in the form of small tribute, which is a typical way most railroad workers have of expressing their sympathy for the sick brother. As one of these once said, "We give the boy a gift, when they can appreciate them."
AMONG THE MAIDS
It would seem that the Nepperman Heights section of Yonkers is getting to be a fashionable residential community for Pullman maids and their families. Mrs. Sadie Nuckletree Merchants Limited of the New Haven Railroad, is also a resident of The Heights.
As a railroader, Mrs. Jones holds a shining record for efficiency. Since she has been maid on The Nepperman Heights, a letter of commendation from patrons of this train to the Pullman management have been received regarding her services. Her husband is also a Pullman employee, running out of the Weehawken district.
Mrs. Harriet Wells, who met with a slight accident several weeks ago, has returned to her run on the Twentieth Century Limited. While recovering from the accident, Mrs Wells was visited by many of her friends at her home in Jamaica, and those of the investiture recovery, she takes this means of conveying to them her thanks for their kindness.

R. V. Watson Is New District Supt. Of Penn Terminal
By P. A. SAMPLE
The general management in Chicago cago announces the appointment of R. V. Watson as district superintendent of the Pennsylvania Terminal District. Mr. Watson will give the capacity of acting district superintendent J. P. Mitchell gave up the office and decided to ply his trade in the banking and hotel business.
We have every reason to believe Mr. Watson will make one of the oldest railroad companies ever had. He has had twenty-five years experience in the Pennsylvania District, and can be described as home talent. He has served in almost every capacity in the Pennsylvania Railroad since the Pennsylvania York, he was transferred to the Jersey City Central District in the Waldo Avenue Yards as assistant foreman. From assistant yard foreman to District Superintendent twenty-five years is rapid promotion in The Pullman Company.
From the porters point of view the heyday of his career was when he was sign-out clerk in the Jersey city yards. His congenial nature, his kindness, and his friend of a lasting and permanent value. Every porter, while glad of his promotion, hated to see him leave the position of sign-out clerk. Pennsylvania Terminal District is perhaps the largest in America and it is credit to any man to be superintendent in this district. There is always a great volume of work to be done in his office and from nine to five he is always busy with his work. He is never too busy to see anyone wettles, ligh or low. He was born in Maine and for twenty-five years has come into daily contact with our group. He is a man of many complexes of the colored people and we believe he is free from race prejudice. He has always been a booster for the P. P. B. A. and has been instrumental in keeping the membership large here than in any other district.
We congratulate the Pullman company upon their happy selection.

War Department Requested Not To Segregate Negro Gold Star Widows And Mothers In European Pilgrimage
Editor Of The New York Age Writes Letter To War Department Asking That They Be Sent To Visit Graves Same As Any Others
Under the terms of a bill passed by Congress February 6, and sent to President Hoover, the government will appropriate $5,386,000 to pay the total expenses accruing from a pilgrimage of 11,500 gold star mothers and widows to the graves of their dead in the American Overseas Cemeteries in France, England and Belgium. It is estimated that there are about 900 colored women included in this total Congress passed a bill March 2, 1929, providing for

Only those who have not visited the graves and wives who have not remarried, are eligible for the trip, and more than one-half have signified intention to go. The trip is to be made on any ship flying the American flag, and all arrangements are to be made by the government, with every expense of the pilgrim from the time she leaves home until she returns being paid by the government.
To Start May 30
The pilgrimages are to start, May, 1930, and will continue until October, 1933, all to start from New York iCty, where a competent staff of directors will have charge of the tours. Guides, nurses, physicians and interpreters will be provided, and even the customary tips for services rendered to the travelers will be paid for the mothers and wives.
It is believed that from three to four hundred colored mothers and wives will make the trip. Alderman Fred R Moore editor of The New York Age, under date of January 24, wrote the War Department, requesting that there be no segregation of the pilgrims, but that colored mothers and wives be sent to France just as the whites are sent, on the same boats and at the same time.
Letter To Editor Moore
Uffler date of January 27. the acting Quartermaster General, H F. Rethers of the Q M C wrote as follows.
"Dear Mr. Moore:
"I have your letter of January 24,
1930, regarding the pilgrimage of
ing the coming summer. Your desire to have some of the colored women sent on the same boats with mothers and widows to Europe duri- the white women has been carefully noted and will be given full con- sideration when the final plans for the pilgrimage are made. Very truly pours,

Four Days In New York.
It is planned that the gold star pilgrims will have two days in New York City, going and coming, and arrangements will be made by directors of the tour for their proper board, lodging and other comforts while in the city. That the colored mothers and widows may be comfortably provided for. Alderman Moore has taken steps to secure accommodations for them in Harlem, The Club Caroline, 202 West 127th street, will accommodate (60), and the Hotel Dumas, 205 West 135th street will take care of forty.
As that will leave more than two hundred others to be taken care of, housekeepers who have suitable homes and are prepared and willing to give proper care to the travellers are requested to send their names, and addresses to the office of The New York Age, 230 West 135th street, with proper references, where they will be listed and submitted to the government's tour directors when plans are complete. The pilgrims will go from the various states in accordance with a drawing made by Mrs. Herbert Hoover on Friday, February 7. a silver bowl, in the presence of
Health Commissioner Wynne Issues Statement Concerning Opening of Health Center in Harlem Very Soon
The opening of a Health Center in Harlem, projected some months ago by Commissioner of Health Shirley W. Wynne, and approved by Mayor James J. Walker, but which was deferred when negotiations looking to the leasing of the Vincent Sanitarium for that purpose by the city fell through, now looms up as an almost immediate certainty, according to a statement issued by Dr. Wynne on Thurs-
day. February 6.
The statement was issued following a conference between Mayor Walker and the Commissioner, at which a number of other important health officers were present. It was planned that sixteen health centers should be erected within the next four years.
First To Be In Harlem
In his statement Dr Wynne has the following to say concerning the proposed health center for North Harlem
"The first of the health centers recommended by the Committee already has approached reality. This will be located in North Harlem, which by reason of its peculiar health needs, and insufficient number of agencies providing health service, is regarded as requiring urgent action.
This district, with an estimated population of 174,000, is one of the most congested sections of Manhattan, and in no other place in the world are so many colored people congregated.
"Residents of the district have taken a keen interest in the establishment of the new health center and the movement has the ardent support of the Hon Fred R. Moore,
Gen. John J. Pershing and Secretary of War Hurley, she drew in order the names of the states whose Gold Star mothers will be invited first by the government to make the trip. New York was the twenty-second Nebraska was first. Florida second and Delaware third. The mothers and widows will have two weeks in France, Belgium or England.
Alderman of the 19th Asembly District, and the various social service agencies whose work in the North Harlem district has been coordinated with that of the Department of Health. Fending the erection of a new building the center will be located in leased quarters.
Thirty Health Districts
Dr. Wynne's plans call for thirty health districts, each containing approximately a population of 200, 000, the idea being to keep close watch on each district, thereby obtaining more definite knowledge regarding living conditions, sickness and other data. This would enable the Department of Health to check any outbreak of disease in a particular district, and curb it before spreading to adjoining districts. Mayor Walker has approved the plan to have the Board of Estimate and Apportionment appropriate $4,000,000 in the next four years for the erection of four health centers each year.

IN MEMORIAM
IN MEMORIAM
WILKINSON—In loving memory of our dear brother, Charles Henry a native of Charleston, S. C., who departed this life in New York City, February 10, 1929. "And the King said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a Prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel."
From an humble beginning, privations and sacrifices of his early career he grew into manhood with grim, resolute determination pursuing the objects of his heart. He wore himself out in the service of his fellows and humanity. He reached the summit, turned a moment, looked back with satisfaction upon the distance he had come, and just before him the eternal morning. It may be said of him, "He held his life as a flaming torch; he wanted to be thoroughly worn out and burned out when he died."
But—
"Men climb tall hills to suffer and die.
This is a truth as old as the race: Bowed to the wind on Horeb's face Blinded with awe on Sinat, Scuffing with oaths to Tyburn
Men climb tall hills to suffer and die."
Our hearts do indeed sorrow in continual bereavement. We miss the joy of his presence, the tone of his brotherly voice. We miss him everywhere. Our hearts have felt their overpowering sense of lonthness, their craving for embodied glory of high ideals, garnered wisdom and experience.
And yet there is consolation in this fact that, just as he was willing to live, and willing to work, he we equally willing to die with a resolute faith that proclaims—
"So live that when the summons
The innumerable, caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Sgourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."
