Such a building will mean much to this community in increased facilities for training and increased opportunities for employment. The Board of Management of the Branch is appealing to the community, to give more generously than ever before because the gift of this building is made—and made without the condition of a certain amount to be raised in the community, only because the donor feels certain that, once the plant is established, the work will be largely carried, as it is—by the people of the community which it serves.
More Class Room Space
Most of the space in this new building will be used for classrooms in the field of vocational and trade training. The curriculum in industrial and commercial education, which now includes many courses in secretarial and business training, dressmaking and designing, beauty culture, and other specific courses in women's trades and vocations, will be enlarged and intensified. Through the additional space available these courses will be developed at the same time, and students in school will really be students at work for customers
7th Ave. News Stand Into Back Room Wh Cash, Gets Gun and
Just as William Wisenberg was about to close up his stationary vote and news-stand at 2236 Seventh avenue at 11:30 p.m. Friday, November 7, three colored holdupmen entered the place. One drew a revolver and backed the owner into the little room in rear of the store. They then proceeded to rifle the owner for the day's receipts, and they left they paid little attention to the owner, thinking he had frightened to offer any re-
Harlem Funeral Cort Collision Between T
The people were killed, and five were injured, about 5.45 p.m. Friday, November 7, as the result of an auto collision between a funeral car and a truck on the state highway between Newark and Jericho.
The dead are Mrs. Ethel Hampton Browne who lived at 1890 Seventh Avenue, Manhattan, and Walter and Lore Hampton of its West 1930th Lake Hampton suffered a skull and internal injuries, sustained on the St. James Hospital, the next evening. Walter was killed, the widows who survived from the burial of W. W. Harrelton Hampton of 100 West 80th street, which took place on Friday afternoon in Eatontown, N.J. The funeral was under the direction of Mrs. Louse B. Hart, who is leading back in the hearse service in the first coach.

One of the interesting new features will be the . "School for Household Employees," which will be housed in a model apartment on the fourth floor of this new building. Short unit courses that will meet specific needs of individuals, for work opportunities will also be offered at any time during the school year that they may be needed.
To Have Large Auditorium
The program and organization will be adapted to the active working needs of women and girls, to the needs of women and girls where we find them, from which point every effort will be made to help each individual to realize her ambition. The first floor of the building will be used for a large auditorium. It will be located on the lot just behind the present administration building, and, facing on 138th street Work will begin on the building very shortly.

From his finger-prints, the dead man was identified as Frank Hill, 27, of 62 West 128th street. The man had a police record and, according to the police, was recently discharged from prison after serving a sentence on a robbery-charge. His two companions escaped, and had not been apprehended up to Tuesday, although police under Detective Garvey have been scouring Harlem.

The gas tank on the truck was under the seat and this ignited, causing both cars to be enveloped in flames. The chauffeur of the truck suffered a broken leg and internal injuries, while his companion was badly burned.
Mrs. Brown and Walter Hampton were instantly killed, while Helen Hampton, Iris Hampton and Mrs. Denie Garger, with the chauffeur, Harold Robinson, were seriously injured.
Other motorists rushed the injured to the City Hospital agile St. James Hospital, Newark.
Mrs. Alberta Copeland, Mrs. Anne Holmes, Mrs. Madeline Burleigh and Mrs. Brooks, who were passengers in another of the funeral coaches, as well as Mrs. Hart, the funeral director, did not know of the accident until they arrived in New York. The news was quite a shock to them, as well as many other friends.

$100 Verdicts In Suits Against River Line
Refused bathing accommodations at Indian Point on Hudson River when the Students' Literary Association held its outing on July 28, 1929, two of the members of the group, Mrs Olive Phillips 227 West 132nd street, and, Edwin Burton, 2382 Seventh avenue, were granted damages in the sum of $100 each in suits for damages which were tried November 5 and 6 in the Central Jury Part of the Municipal Court 30 West 35th street, with Justice Lester Lazarus presiding. The case was tried before a jury of six. The students went up to Indian Point on a Hudson River boat and were refused admission to the bathing pool. The excuse given was that all bathing lockers had been rented.
When Mr Burton was told this, he was informed also that only women's lockers were available. Then Mrs Phillips, who was about third in the line of those who were applying for lockers, was also told no lockers were available. Both stood where they were, at head of their respective lines, from 2 to 5 p.m., when the swimming pool was closed for the day. Suits were filed in September, 1929, by Attorney William T. Andrews and Demerald Williams, and were called for trial on November 7. The Day Line attempted to set up as a defense that not only were the lockers all rented but that the water in the pool had become polluted.
In his skilful handling of the case, Attorney Andrews, brought out that no report of pollution of water had been made by attendants to officials of the line, and it was also brought out that attendants were able to identify Mr. Burton because he had held up the line, thus indicating that no other wouldbe patrons could he sold tickets.
The principal witnesses were John Davis and Fred Campbell, who were present at an interview with O. V. S. Olcott, president and general manager of the Hudson River Day Lines, on August 20, 1929 in which representatives questioned the official as to the line's attitude toward Negro patrons.
After deliberating for an hour and a half, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for $100 each.
Another case, filed by Attorney Williams for Percival Osborne, was decided in favor of the company as Mr. Osborne could not establish the fact that he had actually tried to rent a locker at the window, but had simply been in line.
Woman Collapses At Funeral, Dies In Metro. Church Was Among Mourners At Deacon Thomas Funeral
Five weeks ago deacon Peter Thomas collapsed at the funeral services of the late Rev Willis W. Brown, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church Mr. Thomas died on November 5.
Concidently, during his funeral services on Monday at the same church another prominent member, Mrs. Jerine Edwards of 227 West 130th Street collapsed. She died before she could be removed from the building.
Mrs. Edwards was apparently in good health when she entered the church and was one of the workers who helped carry the floral offerings for the late Lamented deacon. Her sudden illness and death threw the large group of mourners into an unear and completely disarranged the arrangements for the other funeral. It was several hours before her body was moved and a morbid crowd remained around the church throughout the afternoon.
The deceased was an old New Yorker and was the widow of a former official of St. Paul Baptist Church. After her father's death, he joined the membership to Metropolitan Church and was an active worker there.
Arrangements for the funeral had not been completed when The Age went to press on Tuesday.

Interesting Analysis of Results Of Balloting For Republican and Democratic Candidates In Harlem
Final figures show that the Republican defeat in the November 4th election was not only worse than at first thought, but was general throughout the country. It was complete and utter, and brought the Democrats near to control of Congress. In fact, with the aid of insurgent Republicans and Farmer-Labor members, it is not impossible even yet for the Republicans to lose their power to organize both Houses of Congress.
The result in New York City, particularly in the Harlem section, carries much interest by reason of the fact that the two districts, 19th and 21st, which have been normally Republican for a number of years, replaced the two Republican Assemblymen, both Negroes, with Democratic members, one of whom is white.
Further interest is seen in the election of Justices of the newly created 10th Municipal Court District. Both parties nominated Negro candidates, and it was believed that the Republican nominees, Francis F. Rivers, Assemblyman from the 19th A. D., and John Clifford Hawkins, Alderman from the 21st A. D., would be certainly elected.
But the election returns dissipated this belief, and the first Negro Municipal Court Justices in New York, City will be two Democrats, James S. Watson, an Assistant Corporation Counsel, and Charles L. Tony, a practicing attorney.
And an analysis of the votes cast in the five Assembly Districts comprising, in part, the 10th Municipal Court District, reveals some further facts of interest. Prior to election day there were persistent rumors affoort to the effect that Democrats in the white sections are so unwilling to vote for the Negro candidates that many of them had no intention of casting a vote for the Municipal Justices. In fact, one report had it that many of them had not even registered.
But the final results showed these reports to be unfounded, for it was the majority given the Democratic candidates in the 17th Assembly District, in which the whites are largely in the majority, that elected Watson and Toney.
In this district, Watson received 3,578 as against 1,197 for Hawkins, while Toney was given 3,527 to 1,246 for Rivers. Watson's majority over Hawkins was 2,381 while Toney led Rivers by 2,281. In the 19th, Watson had a majority over Hawkins by 313, but Rivers led Toney by 228.
In the other three districts, the Republican candidates had majorities, but not sufficient to overcome the long lead given Watson and Toney by the white Democrats in the 17th A. D.
The revised totals credit Watson with 14,812 as against 12,330 for Hawkins, giving Watson a majority of 2,482 Toney's total was 13,803, with 13,274 for Rivers, a majority of 619.
Another interesting angle was seen in the 19th A. D., in the race for the Assembly, where Assistant State Attorney Myles Paige was defeated by James F. Stephens, a red cap at the Grand Central station, by a majority of 247. Stephens vote was 5,092, while Paige's was 4,845.
In the 21st, David Paris, a white Democrat defeated Edmund O. Austin, Negro Republican, by a vote of 6,577 to 5,400, a majority of 1,177.
A minor significance attaches to the fact that Frank R. Crosswatte, candidate for Congress on the Socialist ticket, received 3,895 votes in the 21st Congressional District, the opinion being expressed that many votes were cast for him because of his race.
Oliver in Lasses County, New Jersey, Dr. Frank S. Hargraves, the only Negro in the State Assembly, was reclected.
A score of detectives have been working in Harlem to round up all known criminals in an effort to find the slayer of Patrolman Charles Weidig, S2, attached to the West 123rd Street Station, who was shot to death by three colored holdup men whom he surprised, robbing the M. Davidson Drug Store at 160 Lenox avenue late Saturday night, November 8.
The policeman was shot four times, receiving bullet wounds in the temple, both cheeks and the heart. In the belief that he may know the identities of the three Negro bands, the police on Sunday arrested Morris Pennyfeather, 33, an ex-convict.
Pennyfeather was booked at the police station on a charge of violating the Sullivan Law, as detectives said that in his apartment at 2109 Madison avenue, they found a 38 calibre revolver, several cartridges and a pair of brass knuckles. The police do not think he was implicated in the robbery but believe that he

knows who the bandits were. He was released from Sing Sing last September after serving a five year sentence for robbery. The slain policeman walked into the drug store just as the three holdup men backed the proprietor and a customer into a back room and prepared to loot the store. Not realizing at first what the proceedings were, the officer began questioning one of the robbers. Before he could reach for his revolver, the other two opened fire on him. According to Detective Captain Louis Hyams, who is directing the roundup of criminals, there have been eight drug store holdups by armed gunmen in Harlem during the last three weeks. He believes the same gang that committed the other seven robberies of this kind, climaxed their efforts Saturday night with the murder of Patrolman Weidig. The slain policeman had been on the force for twenty-three years. He was married and lived at 1303 Amsterdam avenue.

Take Trousers of Laundryman and His Money
Take Trousers of Laundryman and His Money
Henry Ahern, white, a driver for the National Laundry Company, located at the corner of Fifth avenue and 141st street, was held up and robbed of $50 by two unknown men Saturday afternoon.
It is said that Ahern went to the apartment house at 2419-21 Seventh avenue to deliver a bundle of laundry to a customer. When he entered, he叫 him was stopped by two men who told him to take off his trousers and give them all his cash. Ahern obeyed their orders to the letter, and after the robbers had disappeared with $50 which he had collected on his route, he ran to the sidewalk clad in the one piece which the hold up man saw fit to leave on him.
This is the fourth time that Ahern has been held up during the past two months.
Joseph Malaret, twent-three years old, a painter, of 236 West Hoth street, accused of starting a series of fires in Harlem, was held in $5,000 bail for the grand jury on a charge of arson when arraigned Sunday before Magistrate Mickael A. Ford.
Patrolman Benjamin Wallace, a Negro, one of twenty patrolman detailed to plainclothes duty to trap the incendiary, held responsible for a score of small fires in the last month, captured Malaret early Sunday in the celler of 1972 Seventh avenue. The patrolman reported he watched Malaret loitering about the house for forty minutes; then he saw him touch a lighted match to some paper. The policeman stamped out the flames.
Assistant Chief Inspector Sullivan said the prisoner told him that he started a blaze Wednesday in a vacant apartment in the six-story tenement at 1877 Seventh avenue and another fire the same day at 1858 Seventh avenue, also a six-story tenement. He said he set the fire for revenge, because the monitor owed him money, but he could not remember having started more than two fires.
National Council, Y.M.C.A., Takes Strong Stand Against Issues Raised Recently by the White Plains Body Declares Branch Organizations Must Stand at All Times In Unmistakable Opposition to Threats of Force in Racial Matters
The National Council of Young Men's Christian Associations, which has just closed its annual meeting in Chicago, took very definite action upon the issues raised by the White Plains Y. M. C. A. in connection with the release of Samuel R. Morsell from the secretaryship, and Drs. Collymore and Williams from the Committee of Management.
Joseph J. Boris, whose activities in Harlem in connection with "Who's Who Ain't Negroes?" and more lately with the Harlem Broadcasting Co. at 307 Lenox avenue, at 125th street, was arrested last week and held in $1,000 bail for forgery, based on a charge that well known announcers' name had been forged to fictitious contracts for advertising over the radio. "The Harlem Broadcasting Co. begun some months ago, was advertised as a venture by which Negro Harlem was to be given a place on the map and may well known Harlemites were approached in an effort to enlist their support. Some agreed and have been actively identified with the activity ever since.
The charge is made that advertisers were called on the phone and told that, Ted Husing or Frank Knight, the popular announcers over WABC, would accept radio advertising contracts. If the advertiser consented, a messenger would be sent immediately to the merchant's office with a contract apparently signed by one of the announcers.

While it was not possible under the plan of organization for the National Council to deal directly with White Plains, a much more important thing was done in that the Council made plain the attitude of the Brotherhood as a whole on the principal issues arising out of the White Plains situation.
Dr. John Hope, president of Atlanta University, who is a member of the General Board, appealed to the General Board for action, and Charging H. F. Polish senior secretary of the Colored Work Department, appealed to the National Council assembled. As a result the following resolution was unanimously adopted by members of the Council from all parts of the United States:
"In view of recent widespread discussion of the attitude and practices of Associations with regard to race relations, the General Board recommends to the National Council that it take occasion to make clear the position of the movement. The young Men's Christian Association, as world-wide movement, budding within its fellowship men and women of many races, has taken initiative in meeting interracial problems and Christian spirit. The Interracial Commission established by the association is in its methods and outlook, representative of this spirit.
"Numerous local and state associations have also taken effective part in their, communities in developing equitable race relations through the medium of Interracial Committees and otherwise. In order that the best traditions of the movement, may be maintained, and that there may be no misunderstanding regarding the interracial ideals of the Movement, we would call attention to the following principles which should guide the assocation in dealing with the various racial groups in America:

James F. Gillespie an elevator repairer, of 143 Prince street, made the complaint which led to the arrest of Boris, charging 'he had "bought" $72 worth of time on the air through Frank Ganz, 20, an associate of Boris, who was arrested Saturday at 130 West 42nd street, where he was hanging on to a phone trying to get in touch with Boris to collect $1,600 commission due him for having obtained $20,000 worth of "contracts." Boris lad told the detectives where to find Ganz. A third man is being sought, and much speculation is being indulged in as to his identity. Gillespie said Boris and Ganz had sold hm time over WRNY, which is the station the Harlem Broadcasting Co. is supposed to have a contract with, but in most cases, the police say, the contracts call for WABC. The E-Z Roll Awning Fixture Co. in the Bronx was one of the concerns contracting for WABC.

"B. Committed as our movement is to the teachings and principles of Jesus, Associations should stand in unmistakable opposition to threats of force or the use of force as a means of dealing with acute racial situations.
"C. In dealing with any community incident involving sharp difference of opinion on race relations those charged with the administration of Association affairs should take every precaution properly to protect the rights of individuals in their personal opinions and actions. "D Intense race feeling usually grows out of community neglect and indifference to fundamental social and economic problems. Experience would seem to indicate that the best method of allaying race prejudice and prevent acute outbreaks of race conflict is to meet concrete needs constructively. In addition to their regular programs for individuals and groups, the Associations are obligated by their history, and their position in their communities to lead in such constructive efforts as the improvement of housing and living conditions, educational and recreational opportunities, and economic well-being. This offers a wide field (or service in harmony with the highest purposes and traditions of the Association Movement in experimentation and constructive community leadership."

United Rescue Club
The United Rescue Club helped Mrs. Carrie Battle of 1712 Van Buren street, Bronx, to give a pleasant surprise to her friend, Mrs. Blue, who has just come back from abroad. She found Harlem wide awake to the fact that if Belgians, who are not rich, can solve their economic problem by the use of Rochdale Co-operation the people of Harlem, The United Rescue Club holds, if Belgians can buy fats and fast, by simply pooling a little of their resources and buying from their own organization so can Harlem colored people.
Finding the best way for the Negro in Harlem to co-operatively own flats, farms, factories, ships, and all that the European Co-operatives have enabled—the members to own is not the only way that the United Rescue Club is going to the rescue of our people. Care of the sick and the extension of a helping hand to those it can aid is also actively pursued. And not the least among the good things it has in store for the needy is the Thanksgiving dinner at the Art Salon, 206 West 134th street, beginning at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

Supper Meeting Opens YWCA Finance Campaign
Supper Meeting Opens YWCA Finance Campaign
The Committee of Management dinner, given in honor of Mrs. William Pickens, Mrs. Ernest Alexander and Mrs. August Kellar, on Friday evening, November 7, was a delightful affair. The guests of honor returned only recently from a three months tour of Northern Europe, and are all members of the Branch Committee of Management.
The dinner was served in the committee room, Mrs. Laghston, the cafeteria director, had planned a most delicious menu and the good cheer of the members, added to the good food, made the occasion most pleasant.
Mrs. Michael welcomed the returned travelers and they responded briefly, Mrs. Alexander and Mrs. Kellar told of Y. W. C. A. work in the countries visited, and Mrs. Pickens told of the Youth Movement as found in Finland and Germany.
Following the dinner the regular monthly meeting of the Committee took place. If a successful opening meeting is an indication the annual finance campaign should be a success. One hundred and fifty enthiasistic workers met and ate supper together Thursday evening in the auditorium. The room rang with the 'snappy, peppy, inspiring campaign songs' John E. Nail made a most inspiring talk to the workers. Watt Terry contributed much to the general high spirits of the meeting by announcing the gift of a new building to house the trade classes, which have long since grown beyond the confines of the present building, and Alderman Fred R Moore spoke in his usual happy fashion
The spirit which prevailed at the meeting was that of going into a difficult task with a fine courage. Everybody knows that times of financial depression are not good for campaigns, and yet they know also that, because of the depression, the Branch needs more than ever to raise its quota so that it can meet the problems of unemployment. So, everybody seems determined to work harder than ever.
The campaign dates are from November 11 to 24, and all the members of this community are asked to give something toward this work which serves the community.
At the vesper service on Sunday.
According to William H. Peters, president, and Samuel Hamilton, vice-president, the firm has placed an order for 250 new Checker cabs and will start receiving them in another week or ten days. This will bring their total operation to 450 cabs.
Already, Hamilton and Peters have 650 men working for them, and with the new unit they expect to employ 450 additional men, making their total number of employees more than 1,100 men.
"The new, unit will consist of Checker cabs painted green, with black trimming and an eagle monogram with the letters H-P." The new fleet will provide work for several hundred good drivers; and many mechanics, as well as a larger clerical force.
afternoon, November 26, there will be a special program, Mrs. Alice Brown Patroutough, leader of the campaign, will preside. The speaker will be Salem T. Whitney, one of the principals in "The Green Pastures," and solos, will be, tended by Miss Adelaide Hall of "Brown Buddies" and Miss Paulipe Ray of Los Angeles, Cal.
Pre-Thanksgiving
Dinner To Aid Colored Sisters
On Thursday, November 20, from 6 to 9 p. m., the, Colored Catholic Sisters of St. Mary's Convent, 8 East 131st street, will serve a pre-Thanksgiving dinner.
This is an annual affair but this year, more than ever, the Sisters are asking the cooperation of the public. The calls of the needy for food to this convent daily are so many that the Sisters find it impossible to supply all from the scant supply.
They have decided to open a ship kitchen where, the hungry may be helped in a substantial way. They are asking the public to patronize their pre-Thanksgiving dinner so that they may have funds with which to feed the needy on the following Thursday.
Tables may be reserved by phoning Harlgrm 6098. Donations may be sent direct to St. Mary's Relief Kitchen, 6 East 131st street.

THE NATIONAL NEGRO WEEKLY
Published on Saturday of Every Work
Date of Publication: No. 220 West 13th Street
CLEMONES: Bradhurst 0864; Bradhurst 5810
One of the reasons why Jack Dempsey refused to fight Harry Wills in 1926 was brought to light in the suit of Timothy J. Mara against Gene Tunney, former marine and heavy weight champion. Mara is suing Tunney for one quarter of the nearly two million dollars which the latter is said to have accumulated during his brief career as a fighter, on the ground of verbal contract to pay him that commission on his earnings, in return for his influence in securing fights. Part of the defence offered by Tunney to this demand consisted of letters and telegrams, showing that the Boxing Commission in New York State insisted that Dempsey must meet Wills before he would be permitted to meet anyone else in this state.
Tex Rickard sought to induce Dempsey to meet Tunney in the ring about that time and used the argument in a telegram sent him, that he would be "taking less chance" than he would if he fought Harry Wills, whose claims as the "leading contender" were then supported by the New York Commission. The reason the fight was taken to Philadelphia was because of this insistence of the Commission that Dempsey should meet Wills first. This insistence, in which Mr. Muldoon did not join, was attributed to a desire to make Democratic capital in Harlem by giving Wills the chance for the championship, to which he was entitled. The members of the commission who favored Wills were James Farley, now chairman of the State Democratic Committee, and General Phelan.
Incidentally, this suit showed that pugilism, like baseball, has developed from a form of athletic sport into a vast commercial enterprise, a big business enlisting millions of capital and depending largely upon political pull for the opportunity to arrange for popular contests that will rake in big profits for the promoters. That Tunney was able to secure so large a return for his limited stay in the ring speaks volumes for his business acumen and hardboiled common sense. Few fighters received the amount of the purses promised them, and after the usual deductions for training expenses and manager's commission, their rewards are far from what the public is led to expect.
For instance, one of the sports writers said it was claimed, that if Wills had been nominated to fight Dempsey in New York he would have gotten less than five per cent of what his contract called for. The inference was that the remainder would have been applied "to such devices as appear essential to the furtherance of a logical or illogical challenger's position in the heavy weight scene." This is an intimation of the importance that political influence has in the fight game and the need of having intermediaries who can bring that influence to bear.
As everybody now knows, Harry Wills was never given the opportunity to meet Dempsey, when Tunney was considered by Rickard as involving "less chance" for the champion to meet a reverse. Wills was kept waiting for his opportunity until Time had rendered him ineligible to meet the champion. Between the commercialism and political fixing of pugilism, the logical cohtender was robbed of his chance to compete for fistic laurels.
REPUBLICANISM REBUKED
The overwhelming vote by which the Republican candidates were defeated in New York, and other states, can only be construed as a rebuke to Republican policies on the part of the people, and a desire to make a change with the hope that it may be for the better. The responsibility or this defeat naturally must be laid to the administration in power and the political leaders in each of the states concerned. In analyzing the results, it will be found that the closer the state adhered to administration policies, the more likely were they to be found on the losing side. The Republicans who pulled through in the East and West were those
the overwhelming vote by which the Republican candidates were defeated in New York, and other states, can only be construed as a rebuke to Republican policies on the part of the people, and a desire to make a change with the hope that it may be for the better. The responsibility or this defeat naturally must be laid to the administration in power and the political leaders in each of the states concerned. In analyzing the results, it will be found that the closer the state adhered to administration policies, the more likely were they to be found on the losing side. The Republicans who pulled through in the East and West were those who preserved a critical or hostile attitude toward the administration.
The popular vote which went so largely Democratic, not only in New York City but the States as well, was undoubtedly due to a feeling of resentment of the ebbing away, of the much vaunter tide of Republican prosperity, after having made fortunes for those who rode upon its flow. This was a perfectly human reaction although it is doubtful if any administration could have prevented the slump in values that took place a year ago, with attendant depression of business. The unemployment situation growing out of these conditions was the result of many causes, including over-production, loss of foreign markets and other developments of a machine age.
Whether Congress or the Executive could have averted or modified these forces is a moot question. Some maintain that the administration could have taken a firmer stand in preparing for the emergency. It looked as if the heads of the government thought that prosperity was merely a state of mind, to be induced or preserved by optimistic predictions which were not supported by the facts. This resulted in a loss of confidence in Republican rule and the average Republican drew unwarranted comparisons between Presidents Coolidge and Hoover. This was slightly unfair to Mr. Hoover, because he had failed to live up to the popular role assigned him of being a Miracle Man. His political ineptitude led him to make some serious blunders, one of the worst being the attempt, to force upon the Supreme Court a judge who was plainly unfitted for the place. This cost the party the loss of several Senators who had not the courage to oppose the nomination.
While the losses of the Republicans were largely due to a situation which the party was unable to meet or cope with, the lack of strong leadership made these losses greater than the situation demanded. Where a leader showed strength and courage in grappling with a knotty question and taking a decided stand, the voters gave him their support despite the dissatisfaction with Republican policies as a whole. This was shown in the case of Dwight Morrow who was elected Senator from New Jersey, and former Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, each of whom took differing views as to prohibition. Nevertheless, the voters endorsed each one as possessing the courage to take a stand and defend it.
In New York Charles H. Tuttle, the candidate for Governor, started his campaign with equal outspoken courage. But he failed to keep it up so as to convince the voters of his sincerity. After proclaiming the failure of prohibition enforcement, he seemed to avoid the subject in his further appeals to upstate voters, perhaps with the hope of holding the votes of the drys. If this was an attempt to straddle the issue it failed lamentably, as nearly all the upstate counties gave a majority for his opponent. The defeat of Mr. Tuttle is to be regretted, as it seemed that in his nomination, the party had selected a candidate with courage, convictions and capacity. His failure to make this fact appreciated by the voters was probably due to timid campaign tactics adopted by the Republican managers.
The rebuke administered to Republican leaders and candidates was well deserved, not only because of the blunders in legislation and policies put into practice, but also because of the general lack of backbone and courage manifested in dealing with part matters. Take the contest for municipal judges of the new court established in Harlem. The Republicans had every opportunity to gain two members of the state judiciary and the patronage incident to the functioning of a new court. But the county leader manifested no interest in the campaign whatever, leaving the matter of raising funds for the necessary campaign expenditures to the Republicans of the district. On the other hand, the Democrats were well supplied with funds and workers and no efforts were omitted to ensure the election of two more Democratic judges.
The Republican organization in New York county had a fine opportunity to add to its prestige and power by electing these two judges in Harlem, but it muffed the opportunity, either through indifference of incapacity, as it has treated similar opportunities in the past. The Republican organization of New York county is lacking in every element that would make for party progress. It deserved to be rebuked by the voters.
COLLAPSE OF THE KLAN.
According to a copyrighted article in the Washington Post, the Ku Klux Klan has practically collapsed in all but one of the #states. The only state in which it showed any activity during the recent campaign was in Alabama, where it came to the relief of Helfin who was striving for election as Senator, after the Democrats had barred him out of the white
they could vote to use what money the South had for all kinds of foolish purposes." The Negro officials were further characterized as "pumpous."
primary. Senator Helfin ought to have a little more sympathy with his Negro fellow citizena now, since he has been made to share their exclusion from voting in a white primary.
The figures gathered by the Washington paper show that, the Klan, at the height of its revival as an organization in 1925, had nearly nine million members. This year it had less than thirty-five thousand members. In New York which at no time was a Klan ridden state, there were three hundred thousand members five years ago, while this year the count showed, only some, twenty-seven hundred and sixty. The decline in membership has been rapid and continuous. In New York, as in most Northern states, the animus of the Klan was not so much directed against the Negro, who was regarded as a purely negligible quantity, but its objects of attack were the Jew and the Catholic.
The organization of the Ku Klux Klan was described as a secret society "to spread terror among the ignorant Negroes," so as to intimidate them from voting. "The better Southerners," when they got the state governments back into their power, were represented as making laws that would prevent the Negroes from voting.
Enough has been quoted from this textbook of history for sixth grade children to show its biassed and partisan trend. Its contention is that no good came out of the reconstruction governments when the present school system of most of the Southern states was founded during that period. That there were com-
This was demonstrated in a letter sent to the New York World, in which a Klansman protested that the Klan is not dead, but only relaxed. This Klansman, who dated his letter in Brooklyn, avowed that the Klan will never die so long as one enemy of the United States remain alive. He further contended that figures mean nothing so far as the Klan is concerned, but it was represented as taking things easy, after "our great victory" of 1928." That is a sample of the intolerance and prejudice upon which such an organization as the Klan grows and prospers.
The Chicago Whip is pressing its campaign for the employment of colored salespeople in all retail business catering to Negro buyers. In an editorial headed "The Fight Goes On!" it said:
According to the Post's figures, the organization was a glorious racket while it lasted, it being estimated that the order took in some ninety million dollars in five years. No wonder that the two Georgia Colonels who shared in the revival of the order finally fell to fighting over the division of the spoils. Fees were fat from the Knights of the Kamelia and the Knights of the Great Forest, but the palms of the colonels were always itching for more and more graft. When the Klan idea petered out they tried to put over the Black Shirts. But either the color was not so attractive as the white sheets and pillow cases or the crop of suckers had given out.
In the jubilation of victory some weeks ago when the four Woolworth five-and-ahead cent stores located on the south side opened their doors to the employment of colored girls as clerks and salesmen behind the counters where most of the trade comes from colored patrons, many persons have been led to believe that The Chicago Whip has completed its fight and will close the campaign for employment. This is decidedly in error, the fight will continue with unabated vigor. The hard won victory over the Woolworth stores was only one incident in the general plan of the campaign to open to colored workers every door of opportunity to earn a respectable and lucrative livelihood in those business establishments which depend upon the patronage of colored people for their success and progress. The opening of the Woolworth stores on these terms marked the acceptance of the principles of economic fair play by all of the chain stores operating branches in our district. This was in itself an enormously important step forward, but it is not all. There is much still to be done before the colored citizens and workers in the city can be said to be receiving a fair and just and equitable, share in the better class of economic advantages which Chicago has to offer.
It is fitting that the Klan should peter out with Senator Heflin as he was its perfect exponent and fitting representative in the Senate. With the passing of Blease and Heflin the Senate is losing its most exotic characters.
TEACHING HISTORY TO CHILDREN.
The City History Series is edited by Edgar Lawson, Ph. D., professor of history and Social Science, Hunter College, and published by Charles E. Merrill Company, of New York and Chicago. One of the text books in this series is entitled "How the United States Became a World Power," written by Helen F. Giles, teacher in the Horace Mann Elementary School, Teachers College, Columbia University. In the preface, it is stated that history for the sixth grade child should be a series of vivid pictures built up from concrete situations. It is added: "This book has been written for the purpose of presenting such impressions."
Though the chain stores in the south side district, now open to colored workers, represent a large number of jobs and positions newly opened up to colored workers, there are many times that number still to be made available to our people in the individually owned concerns, both small and large which cater to colored patrons for support. In the small grocery stores, markets, drug stores, dry goods stores, dress shops, shoe repair shops, hat stores, hardware stores, etc., which are scattered throughout the district, operating with a personnel of three or four persons there should be at least one colored employee.
The Chicago paper is bent on pushing its campaign in a logical conclusion. It includes milkmen, gas meter readers, street car conductors, bakery delivery men, telephone, collectors and operators in the list of occupations to be filled.
The manner in which this picturesque design is carried out is illustrated in the first instalment, entitled "A New South." After noting the surrender of General Lee and the close of the Civil War, the writer described the suffering endured during that first winter in the South, whey many people would have starved if the United States government had not given them food. The condition of the Negroes were described as worse than that of the whites, because of their ignorance and recently achieved freedom. We quote:
Discussing the advisability of appointing Negro principals for Negro schools in Richmond, the St. Luke Herald, referring to a recent strike of high school students, said:
Why should white principals continue to exercise the stewardship over Negro youth at this all-important age and stage of their lives and education? Why the necessity for this departure in Richmond? In no other city nor community in Virginia does this obsolete practice continue to adhere? Why should we perpetuate the practice in Richmond of all places on earth?
Often they were insulting to the white people. In some localities conditions were so bad that the white women were afraid to go outside their homes even in the day time. Many of the white people slept with a gun within reach so that they could protect themselves in case they might be attacked by a Negro.
The ugly scenes of rebellion of a fortnight ago will continue as long as white principalship is in vogue at Armstrong high school. There will be the lack of the necessary discipline as long as white principalship is in authority at Armstrong high school. This unrest is the fruition of an under-current of propaganda for an under-current of propaganda for the spirit of progressiveness is cramped in this "White authority" at the Negro high school.
The plight of the Negroes was described as growing worse and worse until the establishment of the Freedmen's bureau throughout the South. Some of the agents helped the Negro to get back to work, but others, according to the writer, "did harm by making them distrust their former masters."
The reconstruction measures initiated by Congress were termed as "not so bad," but "it left the work of forming new governments in the hands of Southern whites who had less wisdom and often not much honor." These were the whites who had not taken active part in the cession movement. The new governments were set up by this class joined by Northern politicians and the freed Negroes, "nine-tenths of whom could neither read nor write." The new state governments were described as composed of Negro officials and carpet-baggers. According to the writer, "these men not only knew nothing about government, but also cared for nothing except what they could gain for themselves. A further indictment was: "Of course such legislators could not make wise laws, but
Negroes of Richmond share the responsibility for this hang-on of white principalship at Armstrong High. The pendulum of argument has done nothing more than swing backward-and forward for ten years. Some Negroes of Richmond are ready for the change, while other Negroes are not ready for the question.
It would seem to be time that the community should settle upon a policy that would avert school strikes, and contribute to the cause of education.
Referring to the meeting of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, held at Cleveland, the Boston Chronicle said:
There, is not now, or never was a time when white historians cared to reveal on a broad scale the Negroes' contribution to civilization
petent and honest Negro state officials, including judges, is totally ignored. The Ku Klux Klan is represented as a justifiable measure of protection instead of a gang of midnight assassins, as was proved by testimony taken by an investigating committee of Congress. The suppression of the suffrage in the South is laid down as a legal measure making it impossible for a Negro to vote or hold office.
This is certainly a series of vivid pictures built up from concrete situations to be placed before a sixth grade child. The author of this history is either extremely biassed in her viewpoint, or else ill-informed on the actual facts of the Reconstruction era and their proper interpretation. She should be accorded honorary membership in the Daughters of the Confederacy, if she is not already an active member.
even if they knew the facts. "To do so would be detrimental to their scheme of perpetuating "white supremacy." Certain revelations would be loaded dynamite under this pet theory. The most we learn about Negroes in histories written by white men is not what is recorded there, but what is omitted. We must read between the lines.
Only in recent years have we been able to properly evaluate our importance as a fabric in the woven cloth of culture—thanks to Carter G. Woodson, director and editor of the Journal of Negro History, William E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis and others. Through the researches and discoveries of these Negro scholars colored people are fast assuming race pride and that hitherto inferiority complex is well nigh
Apropos to the discussion of this subject there is one bit of history we wish clarified. Some months ago the Chronicle carried an item based on good authority that Sir Wm. Phips, first royal governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was a Negro. A feeble denial from an obscure source was made and the matter was dropped as if it were hot lead. It may be that this illustrious gathering in Cleveland could lend some light on Sir Phips.
The racial identity of the first royal governor of the Massachusetts colony adds another historical question to those already unsolved or disputed.
The Cleveland Gamette took up cudgels for a former Councilman who was convicted of bribery, and charged the County Prosecutor with persecution. It added:
Thos. W. Fleming's motion for a new trial is to be heard in a few days by Judge Silbert, presiding in criminal court. The former court-civil man left for Columbus Monday. Do not vote for County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller, who was not satisfied with prosecuting Fleming but persecuted him by bringing about his incarceration in the county jail last week, before the receipt of the official mandate from the U. S. Supreme court. This was really an illegal action upon the part of Miller and absolutely unnecessary because Fleming was at liberty at bond. No one blamed Miller "for prosecuting Tom" because that was his duty as prosecutor, but we all do blame him for persecuting the former Councilman, last week, as evidenced in the undue haste he exhibited and exercised in bringing about Fleming's illegal incarceration in the county jail.
* The conviction of Fleming was fought strenuously in the Ohio courts and his counsel sought to carry certain questions to the United States Supreme Court, but without avail.
* Announcing that one measure of relief for the unemployed will be in the form of "Extra Help for the Post Office," the Philadelphia Tribune said.
President Hoover has given given master General Walter E. Brown authority to hire 200,000 extra men for service in the Post Office. This is cheering news. The Post Office Department has recently been experimenting with policies, the main object of which was to reduce the gap between the receipts and the expenditures of the Department. Naturally, one of the most obvious methods was to reduce the number of employees. This action has had a bad effect nationally, producing dissatisfaction on the part of the public with the service received, and making harder the lot of employees carrying the extra load. It is encouraging, therefore, to note this seeming reversal of the Department's policy, even if it be temporary.
The task of colored men and organizations now is to gide that a fair share of these extra positions is allotted to our group. The Postmaster General is one of the present Presidential Callinet who is regarded, by colored voters, as being fairly disposed towards them, and the employment of a reasonable percentage of colored men as extras ought to present no real difficulty, if the problem is attacked in the right manner.
This adoption of a more liberal policy in such a national business as
the mail service would be more consistent with the advice given by administration experts in relieving the problem of unemployment.
With the admonitory warning "Stand Back, Harlem," the Baltimore Afro-American made the following claim:
New York boasts so frequently and so truthfully of its size, its wealth, its skyscrapers, its visitors and its huge population, that when a neighboring city can compete at all it is only as a runner-up.
The phrase "second to New York" is usually equivalent to second in the United States or in the world. In the matter of registered colored voters, Baltimore is not "second to New York." Baltimore is first. New York is second.
Here are the figures. The Amsterdam News estimates New York's

Self-Preservation
Editor of The New York Age:
It is held, and wisely so, that self-preservation is the first law of nature. This, like all other principles, never changes. Every accountable individual owes it to himself to make the most of life possible. To preserve oneself properly much patient care and jobber thought must be exercised. In this way a strong race is built and a strong race is nothing more than strong individuals.
The Negroes of Harlem must come to realize this powerful truth before they can enjoy self-preservation for, if we are to judge the average Negro of Harlem by his general department, he has no intelligent conception as to the deep meaning of self-preservation. If so, there would be no "numbers"; playing; there would be no sneakeies; there would be no buffet flats; no clubs of ill repute, or a thousand other dents of vice and wickedness so common among us, and making us the football for other races.
Self-preservation in its deepest sense means self-construction and not self-destruction. It means toiling daily to become stronger and stronger morally, spiritually, intellectually and physically. It also means that the Negroes would be building up Harlem and beautifying it. It would mean more Negro business, more co-operation and more solidarity. It would mean Negro judges, Negro Congressmen, Negro senators, big Negro financial combinations. It carries with it racial pride, sacrifice and unselfishness and a thousand other enobling aspects.
Sooner or later Harlem Negroes must come to this realization or lose out. 'Forces to crush the Negroes of Harlem are already at work. Many undercurrents are in action against the Negroes of Harlem and yet, the Negro is going along in his happy-go-lucky way, making the whites richer, and himself poorer, you will hear him bloom about self-presentation. A well-organized plan is on foot to root the Negroes out of Harlem. It is far harder now to get mortgage money on Negro property than ever before and the signs read that it will grow less possible.
The Negroes of Harlem must concern themselves more about economical questions and enter more seriously and more thoughtfully into all life's fundamentals. Herein lies the true germ of self-preservation: all else is artificial, deception and more leads to perpetual defeat. These are trying times and only the best can stand the acid test. The world is not asking so much today about race as it is insisting upon real metal and what you have to contribute to genuine progress. Then learn out of hardships, sacrifices, indominable will power and dogmatic determination to give to the world the best that you have and the best will come back to you. If you are not so engaged, then you need to learn the true meaning and mission of self-preservation.
Think it over carefully. Illiteracy will never triumph over intelligence or poverty over wealth; nor, is it a question of race but rather achievement of noble character; nothing more, nothing less—for, self-preservation is self-elevation in all departments of one's being, pocketbook included.

colored registration as 28,000. Most properly, voters, do not register as to race and there are no official figures.
Official figures for colored registration in Baltimore are 37,209. Whatever reason there once was for recording the race of a voter on the polling books, the reason no longer exists even in Baltimore, and the practice should be discontinued. Meantime, however, this bad practice serves to let us know that Baltimore leads New York and probably every city in the country in the number of registered colored voters.
While the official figures for colored registration in Baltimore are imposing, it might be well to inquire if the practice obtains of registering names taken from neighboring tombstones, as was alleged—of another city not far distant. Of course the estimate relating to New York is inadequate.

The Mills of the Gods
Grind Slowly
Editor of The New York Age:
After the battle of ballots waged
Tuesday, November 4; the lily-
white Republicans of North Car-
olina were doubtless stunned at the
finish; but they, got what was
coming to them and what they
justly merited.
Two years ago, 1928, the lily-
whites carried 32 of the 100 coun-
ries in the State, and had in the
legislature of 1929 about 40 members
of their group.
This, however, was due to the fact that President Hoover carried the State in the national election, owing to the defection of 70,000 Democrats led by Senator Simmons, who were opposed to Al Smith, Romanism and Tammanyism.
But in the recent campaign and election the party lines were, strictly drawn and, in consequence, the Old North State returns to the Democratic State and the Solid South" again by the largest majority ever given any party or cause by the voters of the State since it has been a commonwealth.
And last, but not least, George M. Pritishard, M. C, U. S. Senator aspirant, has been retired overwhelmingly by over 100,000 majority in favor of his Democratic opponent, from the daily vision of Representative DePriest in the halls of Congress to his little mountain home in the Blue Ridge, where he will have ample leisure in the future to reflect that "the paths of glory led but to the grave," and also, when the shades of evening shall have fallen upon his household, his dreams may be disturbed, occasionally, by a nightmare in the form of the Negro Congressmen, the Tilly-whites had their creedd years ago, 32 counties out of 100 about 40 members in the State Legislature, as I said above, but as the result of Tuesday's election they can boast of carrying only six out of 100 counties and having only 8 members in the legislature.
The managers of the National Republican organization, including the resident of the White House, in their efforts to build up and foster a white man's Republican party in North Carolina, by baiting the political hook with John L. Parker, by this time ought to be able to see the futility and the unfeasibility of their propaganda and, in the meantime this moral might be taken to heart by pondering the words of the poet in the following line: "I was so soon done for That it's a wonder to me What I was begun for."

WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH
The Sunday morning services were well attended and enjoyed by all present.
Sunday afternoon, the pastor and church went to Mount Sinai Baptist Church to speak to the Sinai Baptist Church made a fine showing, and the pastor was in fine trim. He spoke from Exodus 4:2. In his sermon he said one plus God is to the majority. We have to throw down that which we have in our hands and let God change his serpent to be glorified for his activity. The auditorium was packed. The pastor spoke from Amos 8:5. The general theme was "The coming of the Lord is near and it is high time for us to get right with God." He proved his point from a historical and Biblical point of view.
We welcome to attend our services. The Church doors stand open to all visitors. 52—59 West 133rd street.
PARADISE BAP. CHURCH
Services at Paradise Baptist Church were largely attended Sunday.
In the morning Rev. H. W. Stairy, pastor, preached a wonderful spiritual and intellectual discourse, subject: "The Shaping of the Hand" (Mark 9:271). He illustrated beautifully the common and most natural habit of humanity to shake hands. He said that since it is so common and so natural, that it is most beautiful and most significant when we consider it closely. Our most common and familiar actions are the richest in beauty and in meaning. The most precious thoughts he had in the most homely things ®
Jesus took the "man by the hand," the action of Christ. He appears to be more characteristic of ministry. In Christ the Hand of God touched the sick and tormented world and lifted it up.
One person came as a candidate for baptism as the choir chanted sweetly and piedinally "Brightly brains our Father's mercy."

Rev. Stanley and congregation dedicated a silent prayer for the soldier of the World War.
The evening, services were carried out lovely, the pastor preaching a spiritual sermon on the subject. "I see men walking as trees" the blind man had in Christ, believing that He could restore his eyesight. From this beautiful passage of scripture, he said that the soul could withdraw from the multiplied, cries and distractions of the world, to find restful influence and inspiring companionship on their quiet heights on the hill tops of gracious ordination, not the will of God that the soul would seek selfish to abide there. It is not to be drawn away from and raised uninfluently above the crying needs of fallen men. The healing power of its contact with divine things is needed on the plain below.
In conclusion he revealed to us that the attractions of a contemplation must not therefore lead to forgetfulness or neglect of the demands for practical toil and self-denial.
We extend our invitation to all. "Come and Worship With Us."
ST. JAMES PRES. CHURCH
Last Sunday's balmy autumn weather made its contribution to St. James's church by the presence it brought out to hear the morning pastoral address on "How to Build a Church," when Dr. James explained in detail—that even a fool may not err"—the St. James building fund project, and made a strong appeal to members of this church for renewed support in effort. At the close of the sermon many came forward as an evidence of their desire to join with others in pushing to ultimate success the task already undertaken.
At the evening service, members and friends of Keystone Lodge, N.Y., gathered in a guess of the church with an annual sermon by Dr. James on "Christianity and the Plumb-limb" sg.
Next Sunday morning, in honor of the 1500th anniversary, of the church on "St Augustine and the Latin African Fathers of the Christian Church," will be a "pastoral message dealing with neglected aspects of church history, and the ancient story of the African Fathers."

FLEET ST. MEM. CHURCH
Commemorating the termination of the country's most tragic event, preachers and teachers in many sections of the world gave recognition to the occurrence in their talks Sunday.
The underlying principles which brought about the Armagnice were the ones touched upon in the talk by Ken C. Brown, Sunday morning. "Pearce and her Purseal" was the them for the term.
The pastor said in part: "Peace is a desirable quality for both church and state; it is ideal, and appeals to the affections." The soldier while fighting, keeps his eye on the horizon, and strives conscientiously to redeem his country, and bring to pass a victorious battle. The Church of the Living God must live in peace, it is the compass by which human must reach to Heaven. It must hold on to the compass, or else the will of the nation fall down.

BRIDGE ST. CHURCH
It was communion Sunday, and the pastor Dr. Edward Richardson there was greeted by a congregation that filled the edifice to capacity when he delivered his message. It was based upon Hebrews 12, 2.
The pastor stressed the thought that Jesus, Christ should be the example for our faith, and that there must be some impelling force: some great urge, and a desire to render real service are to be real Christians. Unless, we desire a real there will be no service which must be rendered on earth, Roles of white, crows, another things are by-products of the life here. We, like Christ, must make an effort to redeem humanity and act. His ambassador... In the days before, the church was established its early days, nothing could crush the faith of those who trusted God, and they, too, should be trusted with our faith. The pastor closed up his assertion that the great thing for us to do is to strive to make the world a better place to live in.
The communion service means nothing to us unless - after taking it we are better men and women, and leave the communion table with a softer, than higher motives and so forth, than we have joined. Four persons joined the church when this initiation was extended. In the afternoon the pastor, offi-

NAZARENE CONG. CH.
NAZAKENE CONG. CH.
The Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor preached at the Nazarete Congregational Church, Grand avenue and Lefferts place. Brooklyn, Sunday night to "Blessings in Dispute in the Present Economic Depression."
"Among the causes for the present depression," he said, "are the decimation of the population" by the World War, the increase of production by machinery, the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few, and widespread fear of the general outcome.
"The best way to get rid of the present situation is to look for the angel of the Lord in the present crisis with blessings in His hand. Among these are individual, economy in expenditure as a fixed habit; sympathy toward the various classes of society; an optimistic attitude toward the future, and the promotion of a revival of righteousness in all walks of life."

SILOAM . PRES. CHURCH
Activities at Siloam Dr. George Shippen Stark, pastor, indicate that when the fiscal year of the church, which is in March, closes, it will be the last time of the beat in the history of the church. Not only have the activities been planned covering the entire fiscal year, but committees are at work and doing.
Sunday morning: worship services were in keeping with the observation of Armistice Day, and Dr. Stark, before delivering the message of the hour, spoke briefly upon the war, saying that there is no joy, no plausible memories of war; nobody wins in war, all lose; everybody, suffering today because everybody lost in war. There is more in the reasoning of men and following and praising which every problem in the world could be solved at once, than by all the wars that might be waged. We are yet too close to know the benefits of the late war.
The text for the morning hour was found, in Isaiah 26:3. The pastor, in a vivid and clear manner, brought out that in the midst of all difficulties and troubles, peace comes to all who put their trust in God. In God, you down, you can withstand because of this peace in God. In spite of all, God keeps a man polished. No matter what is happening we are conscious of the guiding of God. God gives us things, but we have to fight for them. This is true in education; not only is gift of God to man; true in music; true in worthwhile. Men are willing to get a gift without fighting for it. The storms of life are real. It is not accident that we have pain or misfortune—it is the way we have to go—but on the way this peace is and with God will bring us out合情 with God, which will not be conceived with success but comes not in terms of success but in peace with God.
The following persons were received into the membership of the church at this service: Mrs. Irma Cooper, 350 Grand avenue; Miss Nellie Lowery, 317 Stuyvesant avenue.

When the Lincoln Giants open
their 1931 baseball season, Johnny
Beckwith, versatile infielder, will
lead the team instead of John Henry
Lloyd, veteran manager for the past
four years.
Just before leaving for Cuba a few weeks ago, Lloyd tendered his resignation. Differences between the owner, James J. Keenan, and Lloyd came to a head during the Homestead Grays—Lincoln Giants series for the Eastern championship. Under Lloyd's able management the New York team reached its peak the past season and Mr. Keenan confidently expected to see his charges win the championship
The owner's disappointment at losing this series was so keen, he showed a sudden coolness toward the manager and several of the players. Mr. Keenan is said to have remarked that Clint Thomas, Holland and Brown were the only players in his lineup who seemed to be doing their best. This insinuation was presented by most of the players, and as a result of the arguments that followed, it was intimated that a number of changes would be made.
Keenan Called "Poor Sport"
The following Sunday, Mr. Keenan and Walter Cannady almost came to blows when Cannady remarked that Keenan was a poor sport. The other players took sides on the issue, and the internal dissention was serie that the final doubleheader, scheduled for October 18, had to be failed off.
Beckwith broke his leg early in July and was out of the lineup most of the rest of the season. For this reason he was not embroiled in the controversies that raged the last few weeks. Thus he managed to retain the good favor of Owner Keenan, and is highly respected by the players. He is a native of Chicago and played with the American Giants, the Homestead Grays and Baltimore Black Sox before he came

Elks Order Bell Off
Ohio State Eleven
Columbus, Ohio.—Because Navy officials objected, William Bell, Negro tackle, was not permitted to play in the Ohio State-Navy game on Saturday, November 8.
Bell is attending Ohio State on a scholarship granted by Delta Lodge No 149, L. B. P. O. E. of W. of Akron, O. When this organization heard of the failure of Ohio State to take the varsity tackle to Baltimore, the lodge wired Bell as follows.
"Local newspapers vary report you were left for no reason. We consider this gross insult to you and a disgrace to Ohio. Delta Lodge No 149, Improved Renewal Protective Lodge, No 149, your benefactor, advises and instructs you not to report to practice or to play football with Ohio State."
Negro Legislator Asks Ohio State Data on Bell
Cleveland, O.—Dr. George Rightmore, president of Ohio State University, was asked today by State Representative Perry B Jackson to investigate reports that Bill Bell, Negro tackl, was kept from the lineup in Saturday's football game between Ohio State and Navy because of racial prejudice in Baltimore. The request was contained in a letter from the Negro Representative, who demanded that if the reports were verified that "the parties or parties responsible be discharged from the employ of Ohio State University."
Washington, D. C.-Prof. Frank Coleman has been elected president of the Howard University Board of Athletic Control, succeeding Dean L. P. Davis, who has been the head since the Board was organized. Other officers elected by the Board are Dean Dwight O. W. Holmes, vice-president Dr. Emmett J. Sewell, business manager, Glarence W. Davis, secretary, and Mercer Mahan, assistant secretary.
Although the fans and players wish Beckwith well, there is considerable resentment over the treatment accorded Lloyd. Not only has Lloyd given of his best as a player, but he worked hard to develop the team from the low position in which he found it, to its present ranking as one of the best in the country
Developed Young Players
It was Lloyd who brought Charlie Smith to the Lincolnns and developed him into the greatest home-run hitter in colored baseball. He was also responsible for the development of Bill Yancey, shortstop, Larry Brown and several other younger players. Both Rector and Holland enjoyed their best years of pitching under Lloyd's tutelage. Even though the Lincoln Giants failed to win the Eastern title, they were the most successful baseball aggregation, financially, in the East the past season, and those who support Lloyd say it was ungrateful for Keanan to overlook these facts when he decided to break up his team. Just what the veteran player and former manager of the Lincoln Giants will do next season has not been learned. He is now in Cuba, along with several team-mates of the past season.

It was only in the final stanza that the visitors began to drop back, having held their own in the first half, in fact more than that, they set a whirlwind pace that proved their undoing. There is hardly a team in basketball that can set a pace for the Renaissance and still be able to keep up with them in the closing period. The high scorers for the evening was Ricks and Cooper with 10 and 8 points respectively.
interest revolves about the unusual triangle of the brutal "Walt," played by Milton Sills; the young weakling, played by Raymond Hackett and the beautiful girl of the streets by Jane Keith, who mysteriously ships aboard "The Ghost."
Intensified by the surroundings with the characters capped aboard the tiny "Hell-Ship," as the "Wolf" on the boy, the mainming of the cook, the captain's french attack upon the beautiful girl, the exiting battle with "Death" Larson's steamer and the final climax combine to make this drama Milton Sills finest contribution to the talking screen.
Rollin Smith, the star singer at the Roxy Theatre, left the cast on Monday to fulfill his contract to open with "Melody Lane" at the Alhambra—probably the first time such a thing has occurred. He is the bartone singer who succeeded Jules Bledsoe in Ziegfeld's "Showboat." Lottie Gee, who was the prima donna of "Shuffle Along" is delightful as ever, and there is a true consist of the Duncan Sisters, Ina and Laura, and Henrietta Lovelace.
Donald Heywood's Choir of twenty-two singers from "Showboat," "Hot Rhythm," "Blackbirds," and other Broadway and European productions, are the largest group ever heard in a Harlem show, and create quite a sensation in Heywood's compositions "Sweet Lips," "Crazy Walk," and "Booola."

Redecorated Savoy
To Open Thursday
The newly redecorated Savoy Ballroom, Lenox avenue [40-141] streets, will be formally opened to the public on Thursday night. November 13.
The work of redecorating covered a period of seven weeks and cost well over $50,000, stated Charles Buchanan, manager, under whose direction the entire work was executed.
The new Savoy as it is to-day presents an original modernistic decorative effect that is typically American. Upon entering you are immediately greeted by a gorgeous fountain spouting streams of coloringed water against a background upon which is mounted a bronze hand carved statue of a water mouth.
The orchestra dias presents an alluring spectacle, the entire background possessing a blue-sky appearance with white capped clouds rolling and darting in and out. The walls and ceiling are vivid pictures of rare beauty. The wide expanse of floor is covered by carpet of modernistic, pattern manufactured expressly for Saxony. A complete new dance floor of glistening white pine has been constructed. No eliminate turing of dance legs, a new scientific, patented "sleeper system" has been placed beneath the floor to make it more resilient and easier to dance upon.
The lighting system is one of the high-spots in the redecorating program, incorporating the most modern devices and accessories obtainable. When completely lighted the Saxon is at the peak of its dazzling glory. Vari-colored bulbs and spotlights shoot beaming electric rays in every corner. When dimmed during waltzes, a mellowness and softness predominates, subdued spotlights playing over the shoulders of dancing couples. Saxon has long been recognized as the pre-eminent ballroom of America—and now it outdoes itself in giving the people of our community an entertainment centre where every member of the family may enjoy them-selves. A place to be proud of, a place to boast of. It is truly one of the show places of Harlem.
The same entertainment policy will remain as foreclosure. Two delightful orchestral playing at all times. Unexcelled food and soft drink service. The same capable management under the guiding hand of Charles Buchanan, who is responsible for the popularity of the Savoy. Harold Parker his assistant manager needs no introduction to pleasure-seekers. Many new spectacular features will make their initial appearance at the Savoy during the season. A special preview showing of the Savoy will take place on Wednesday night November 12, before an invited audience of notables.

DRAMA
At The Lafayette Theatre
Next week's stage and screen attractions at the Lafayette Theatre give every promise of setting a new high standard in local entertainment. The honors will be divided between the spectacular drama, "The Dawn Patrol" and the fast, funny, gorgeously costumed revue, "Uptown Capers."
"The Dawn Patrol" has just finished a long run on Broadway at $2 admission prices. It is a thrilling drama of warfare in the clouds and one of the sweetest, tenderest most-heart-touching of romances. In "The Dawn Patrol," Richard Barthelness does by far the greatest work of his career. As the fearless war ace and the great lover, he gives a performance which will never be forgotten by those who saw it. While the picture was at the Winter Garden, the critics acclaimed "The Dawn Patrol" as the greatest picture of the year and the acting of Richard Barthelness as not only the finest that he has ever done but the finest seen in any war drama.
"Uptown Capers" the musical comedy, brings to the stage of the Lafayette Theatre some old favorites, and some performers who are new to Harlem but are sure to quickly win the hearts of Harlem theatrgoers. The old favorites are Sandy Burns, Amanda Randolph, George Waltshire, Marion

Moore and several other well-known players. The new ones are the Four Dancing Bubbles, the Four Singaporeans and three other entertainers whose names mean nothing to Harlem now but will mean a great deal after next week's show opens. It certainly seems, from all advance announcements, that next week's stage and screen entertainment at the Lafayette Theatre will be the best this year.
At The Roosevelt
A most unusual underworld drama will be presented at this Roosevelt Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, November 15, 16 and 17. It is "Her Mady, the story of a "woman of the night" and her regeneration in the crucible of love. Set in the sordid slums of Havana, this picture has more drama, more thrills, more humor more action than any underworld story presented to the public this season.
The cast includes beautiful Helen Twelvetrees and dashing Philips Holmes are the stars. They are ably assisted by Marjorie Rambeau, Ricardo Cortez and James Gleason.
In order to make the fight scenes more thrilling, many well-known prize fighters were engaged for the picture

What proved to be one of the most interesting and attractive affairs of the current concert season was the program of classic dances presented, by little Helen Willard Price under direction of Anti Jones at the Central Branch Y M. C. A. auditorium, Brooklyn, on Friday night November 7.
Miss Price is the oldest daughter of William J. Price, inventor of portable booths for tairs and exhibitions, and Mrs. Helen Howland Price, who conducts a music studio at her home, 40 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn.
The little dancer was the epitome of grace and artistry, and she was an entire absence of stiffness or affectedness in all of her movements, in the various presentations, there was a sense of a perfect understanding of the character depicted and though the impersonations were those of characters of dissimilar type, such was given with its own coloring and temperment.
The program stated that this "little recital is to create an interest in the study of good music and the appreciation of its beauty and its close association to rhythm.
The dances were arranged by Ann Jones, and the costumes, each typically correct, were designed and executed by Miss Jones and Mrs. Price. The musical accompaniments were played by Mrs. Price at the piano, and the guest artist assisting was Miss Gertrude Martin, violinist, of the Martin-Smith Music school, New York City.
Another guest artist was the charming Miss Ada Waddell, lyric soprano, who sang in the most intriguing manner two groups of songs With Mrs. Price at the piano, she sang first Woodman's "Birthday" and "Will o' the Whip" by Spross, winning appreciative and enthusiastic applause. Her second group was made up of Rogers' "Star" and Benham's "When" to which she was compelled to add Strickland's "Lindy Lou."
In addition to her assistance in the dance accompaniments, Miss Martin played, the Hubay-Sarasatee "Gypsy Airs" with colorful abandonment, and the same degree of enjoyment attached to her playing of Grainger's "In a Country Garden" both airs were afterwards interpreted by the dancer.
The following program was portrayed by Miss Price.
"Drummer Boy," Herbert; "Piperpot," Drigo; "Galliwogg's Cake Walk," Debusy; "Echers's Bake sia," Tsehakowsky; "Gypsy Airs," Hubay-Sarasatee; "Value Brilliance," Chopin; "Powder Puff" (a delightful bit of tee dancing). Herbert; and "In a Country Garden," Grainer.
In the final number, a group of Miss Jones' pupils assisted in delineating "An Enchanted Garden," portraying a group of statues surrounding a "Fountain Nymph," and the rink curtain disclosed a scene of beauty that brought pleasure and allure to the audience. Curdrude, Geddard and Lillian Holloday were the status, and little Doris Baker was the nymph.
Other characters were "Butterfly Chase" (Godard—Mildred; Atkins, Little Girl, and Jennie Sullivan. Butterfly. "Night Wind." (Chopin). Marion Hilton; "Fairy of the Night." Doris Hilton; the final scene being Miss Price in "By Moonlight" (McDowell). Miss Laura Thomas was at the Piano for the "Enchanted Garden" scenes. Mrs. Price and Miss Martin playing the final McDowell number. The resental was under a committee of ladies. Mrs Hannah Jackson, chairman. The chaperones were Mademoisne Duis S. Smith and Tadahiro Tadahiro. The program girls were Dolores Brown, Mary Esther Norcum Alice Cunningham, Iris Potts, Mabel Dudley, Ruby Perkins, Grace Fleming, Harriet Trimble and Grace Taylor, and they composed a galaxy of youthful beauties.

Pageant Marks 32nd Church Anniversary
Rockland Palace was well filled on the evening of Thursday, November 6, for the 32nd anniversary celebration of Union Baptist Church, Rev. George H. Sims, pastor, the feature being a pageant, "Victorious Tradigues," written and by Rev. W. Willard Monroe assistant pastor.

It was a lengthy presentation, requiring nearly four hours, and was participated in by several hundred members of the church, with groups from other churches and friends as satur
Among the individuals participating were Richard Green and Miss Mabel Turner in the prologue. The paragon, a colorful affair, opened with a theme, "The Challenge." Miss Cornelia Dickerson, as "Lisa of Tenth and Taxis," was a picture
of charm, as she marched up the hall escorted by two little attendants; Marylin Smalls and Floyd Johnson.
Mrs. Mayme Brooks Riley was effective as "Life," with Mrs. John Maddox as "Angeles"; Miss Inez Ward as "Time," and Miss Pauline Ray as "Memory." An interpolated solo, Brahns' "Lullaby," was sung by Miss Maria Makarova, a pupil of Chaucey Northern.
Miss Gladys E. Parker was "Truth"; Mrs. Edna Mage Smith, Faith"; Mrs. Alma Dickerson-Trott, "Romance," and Mrs. Agatha Reed Jackson, "Reminiscence." The pageant ended with the coronation of the Queen of the Pageant.

Tuskegee Tigers
Defeat Morehouse, 19--6
Atlanta, Ga.—Tuskegee, Southern champions, ran true to form by defeating the Maroon team. 19 to 6, Morehouse's scoring crew, so famous this season, failed to function in the first half against Coach Cleve Abbot's mighty machine. Tuskegee scored early in the game when Stevenson, Shanklin and Harrison, running behind a 200-pound line, swept through the Maroon line on an 85-yard drive which netted their first score. Shanklin went over for the second tally after Harrison drove the ball to Morehouse's 1-2 lead in the first half. Early in the second half Tuskegee skipped over her third score, after being held on Morehouse's 12-4 line for three downs. Steve kicked the extra point.
Then Morehouse began to fill the air with passes. The combination of Kelley to Edmonds, on a beautiful running pass, gave Morehouse her lone score, after Jones and Maise had swept through the Tuskegee line carrying the ball to the 10-yard line.
The game was featured by sweeping runs and hard tackling. Both teams played fast and seemed anxious to score.

Lincoln University
Wins Easy Victory
From St. Paul Eleven
Lincoln University, Pa.-The Lincoln University Lions roared loudly in their homecoming game here Saturday, November 8, and won an easy victory, over St. Paul School of Virginia, The Orange and Blue machine displaced the best offensive power they have shown all season, as they ran roughshow over their rivals to win by a score of 46-0. The Lions began roaming into alen territory early in the game and before the first quarter had ended the score was 7-0. It was a series of forward passes that was responsible for the initial touchdown. Ernie Smith, former New York high school star, caught a pass and raced 20 vards for the score. Benner's successful line rush added the extra point.
In the second quarter the Pennsylvania annexed two more touchdowns but in each case failed in the attempt for the extra point "Stretch" Sydnor. Lincoln's all-round athlete, received a pass from LaMar and raced 33 yards for the second touchdown, while Ernie Smith made the third one by going through right tackle from the ten-yard line.
From then on, the scoring was easy for the local team. LaMar made the fourth touchdown and others were made by Jackson Lincoln's ten-second man, Archer Lewis and Baskell.
Charlton Wi-Aces Win
On Saturday, November 8, the Wi-Ace Lightning Five representing the Wi-Aces Club of the Carlton Avenue Branch Y, M, C, A, gave the Columbus Hill Tigers a sound trimming at the Carlton Avenue Branch. The first quarter of play, found the boys from Columbus Hill gradually pulling away from the Wi-Aces who found it very difficult to get started. The shifty floor work and fast passing of the New York boys was somewhat baffling to the Aces for awhile, but during the second quarter of the game found the Aces leading by the score 20 to 14. During the second half of play the Columbus Hill boys tried in vain to cut down the Aces' lead; At one time they were within six points of tying the score but a rally on the part of the Aces carried them out of this danger. The Columbus Hill boys with their experience, however, put up a wonderful demonstration of their ability to shoot, to shift and pass. The final score Aces 43; Columbus Hill Tigers 29.
The Y. M. D. Junior game vs the Pioneer A C. ended in a forfeit to the Carlton team resulting from the Pioneers' manager's unwilligness to abide by the amateur rules of the game

BEAUTY AND HEALTH
Food and good looks are so closely related that there can be no proper discussion of one without the other. A correct diet and a sound digestion are the very basis of health and good looks. Indigestion, is a hardship which few complexions can combat. Wrong eating, more than any other cause, undoubtedly is responsible for muddy skins. If the body is being properly nourished and the stomach is functioning rightly, that is the first step toward a good figure, sound tissues, clear skin, and a generally attractive appearance.
It does not take much of a survey to bring one face to face with the fact that most of us do not know how to eat. Many of us are pale, nervous, run-down persons—men and women who are not really sick, just not able to do the things which they would like to do, the semi-failures of the business and social, world. Depression, discouragement, little vitality and poor resistance to disease are far too prevalent among us. Nor, taken by and large, are our children much better. Our streets, playgrounds, parks and schools are full of nervous, thin, anemic, underweight children, small for their ages and decidedly below par. Not all of them come from the poorer homes either.
In speaking to one of our public health nurses this week-end, who for some years has been doing Henry Street nursing in this city, I was surprised to hear her state that she had particularly noticed that this more year seemed to bring forth more tubercular systems than she had ever noticed. Let us give special pains to our diet, and build up our bodies, in order that they may be strong enough to ward off this dreadful disease.
Women in The Election
Now that the most important week for voting is over for a white, we can at least rest ourselves for another year before being concerned again as the sizing up of the candidates, in order to be able to vote intelligently for the best qualified man for the position. I was glad to hear one of our young captains, a woman working in this district, instruct a voter, an old gentleman, who always in the past voted a straight ticket that the day was past when we as Negroes voted a straight ticket for either party. That Negroes as a whole, had gotten to the point where we now begin to consider the man, and support the best man who had proven their friendship for them, regardless of what party they belonged.
Women played an important part in the discharge of their duty as citizens in the election. What enthusiasm they exhibited especially, at the close of the election, Let us as women always whenever we put our hands to the task and do our work, do it with our hearts, do it with our hearts, we are doing things from our hearts we can surmount both little and great difficulties that are found always in our path.

It is one of those stories that never grow old. This will be your last chance to see and hear it in this community.

attracted the attention of the entire world. Gifts great and small have been pouring into that small country from every quarter of the globe. This may seem to many of our race group who have been placing credence in the fulfilment of prophecy, an indication that "Ethiopia is now stretching forth her hands, and receiving homage and adulation from her contemporaneous and more powerful neighbors. Many of the race, diplomats and economists doubt the sincerity of this homage. Be that as it may, the fact remains that recognition has been given to this black kingdom and its rulers by the world and whatever may follow can be taken care of as the contingency may demand.
Let us result that it was not ignored and discountened. This manifestation of esteem silences forever those who have said that we have no flag nor country. We may be proud and even boast that we have not only a kingdom but a republic, Liberia. Both are governments which have proved themselves for years to be the peers of any their size? Why worry about the future? As the Jews are proud of Palestine and do all they can in giving it their moral and financial support wherever they may be let us, too, look to Africa with pride and keep faith, and through every vexisitude we shall emerge triumphant and unscathed because we shall conquer: "Not by might nor by Power but by the Spirit" of a King greater than Ras Tafari Makonnen.

sons a scare Malone was able to make short hair around left end but could make no headway against the line. Both teams played safe, kicking on the fourth down rather than to risk losing the ball
In the second quarter Howard came to life with the off-tackle plays of Marshall and Taylor and a 12-ward pass from Marshall to Leer followed by repeated thrusts at the right side of the line, with Taylor going through tackle with a gain of 5 yards, for the touch down.
An attempted pass for the extra point failed. In the third quarter North Carolina State kicked deep into Howard's territory, with Marshall fumbling the ball over his head, which he recovered in the end zone and made a desperate attempt to carry out, but was tackled just over the goal line for safety.
The Eagles tried 21 passes and completed only 4 as against the Bills attempting 1 and completing 2. North Carolina State made 2 first downs against Howard's 4.

Carlton Big Five To Play Combine A. C
On Saturday night, November 13, Carlton's Senior Team will play their first home game versus the strong Combine A.C. The boys from the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn have tried each season to subdue the Big Five machine, but defeat has overtaken them two out of three starts during the last few minutes of play each time. The Big Five is practicing regularly now, in preparation for a very successful season. "Sidney" Mr. Clammy, "Hawk Day," Boot Perry, "Bett' Daniel," and "Sandy" Williams, have been reporting for practice. "Amy" Smith, Fred Daniels and "Sandy" Horton will be on hand when the whistle blows. This combination of players intend to make it hot for all teams during the season. The N.M.D. Jumors will match tosses with the fast Red Wings of New York City in the preliminary game. This game should be equally as thrilling as the feature game.

"Afton Water"
By ROBERT BURNS
Flow gently, sweet Afton, among
thy green braes.
Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song
in thy praise.
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream.
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
Thou stock-dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen.
Ye wild whistling, blackbirds, in you thorny den.
Thou green-crested lapwing, thy screaming forbear.
I charge you disturb not my slumbering fair.
How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighboring hills.
Far marked with 'the courses of clear winding rills.
There daily I wander as moon rises high.
My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye
How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below.
Where wild in the woodlands 'the promise blow.
There oft as mild evening weeps
over the lea.
The sweet scented birk shades my
Mary and me.
The crystal stream, Afton, how
levely it glides.
And winds by the cot where my Mary resides.
How wanton, thy, waters; her snowy feet love.
As gathering sweet flow'rets, she stems thy clear wave.
Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes.
Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays.
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream.
Flow gently, sweet Aiton, disturb
not her dream

MEN WHO LEAD
Men who lead are generally envied by those who follow them. Often followers have keener minds than their masters, but they lack pluck, they lack the iron in the blood which makes them dare. Dare to take responsibilities, dare to step out in front of the crowd and take a chance with Fate. When you see a man leading men you may be sure that he has this one quality at least—courage!

Alderman Moore - Talks To Victory Life Agents
On Friday evening, November 7, the Victory Life Insurance Company agents had their fall "get-together." Specially invited guests were Dr. and Mrs. P. M. Savory, vice-president and director; Lister A. Walton, Alderman Fred R. Moore and Mrs. Lemuel L. Foster.
One of the features of the gathering was a talk by Mr. Motre in which he said in part:
"I am very much interested in the Victory Life Insurance Company; I have known your president for many years. He had ambition and he was progressive. I know you have increased and developed the confidence of teed people. Some are repausing wit you while some are doubling you and dropping by the wayside.
"We see colored people long industrial lines in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, but this company holds no future for us."
I have always been proud to be a Negro, proud to be identified with him and glad to help him in his ideals. It is "teatable that our professional and privileged, classes lack the self-respect and good sense to support their own institutions. If they would be consistent they would move down on Park avenue with the folks that they support."
War Veterans Observe Armistice Day With Patriotic Program

Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, and Assemblyman Francis E. Rivers, himself an overseas veteran of the World War. Lieutenant Howard C. Bates, commander of the Dorrence Brooks Post, presided. The musical program featured Mrs. Unfried Watson, soprano, and her husband, Andrew W. Watson, tenor. Among the organists co-operating on the program were: Harlem Red Cross nurses; Admural's Philip Camp, Spanish War Veterans; the George P. Davis Post and the Gil Charles Young Post, American Legion; the Knights of Pythias and Monarch Lodge of Elks.
3 Hurt In Near Panic In 125th Street Theatre
"Her Man," which was presented at the M, and S, Theatre, a Harlem motion picture playhouse, between Seventh and Eighth avenues on 125th street, proved to be a gather exciting "man" to the matinee patrons of this theatre on last Monday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock. A fire broke out in the back starway under the ladies dressing room on the main floor causing a near panic in the well-filled playhouse. At the first detection of smoke an incipient panic started among the audience, but this was quickly allowed by the ushers, who told the suddenly frightened patrons that "it was nothing but smoke from the cellar."
As these were resuming their seats, some one in the galleryvelled "the fire is in the theatre." The cry was followed by a precipitous rush for the exits. Among those who suffered from the jamming of the crowd, in its eagerness to reach the doorways were "Miss Georgette F. Simms, 225 West 135th street, who sustained an injury to her right foot. Forest Smier, 132 West 125th street, contusions of left knee, and Fluid Collins, 207 West 125th street, cut wrist. Miss Louise Simmons lost a foot, and Miss Elise Brown, 18 West 135th street, a pocketbook containing $50. All the persons mentioned were colored patrons. The fire was of small consequence, the theatre finishing its program as advertised.

Those who begin another birthyear on November 15 will find the year worthwhile if they use thought and tact in speaking or writing, and try to settle all legal affairs out of court, it possible. Those who are married will need much patience and fact in the domestic affairs. Sincerity and truth will do more than anything to bring happiness to those of today.
November 16 begins a birthyear that is not good for changes, removals, or for beginning new plans enterprises. Those who start new plans lose a large part. Legal masters will play a great part for nearly every one during this birthyear.
Of those today who are single should remain single for another year at least. Study and forthought is really worthwhile and will bring results in the future.
Financial matters, contacts with the courts, and family matters will be the cause of worry, during the birthyear, for November 17 for those of today who will not think carefully before they act. The people of today will be forced to let one of control their movements if they are not careful, and everyone knows that the November people like to be bosses themselves. Care should be used in dealing with the opposite sex.
November 18 begins another birth-year that will bring the help of others in a very substantial and spiritual way. The vibrations will require that those of today use the utmost tact and patience in all things, and that they avoid quarrels. Those who take plenty of time to think and do will find the year full of results that count. The health should be guarded.
The birthday for November 19 will be very favorable in a financial way for those of today who can take opportunities for making money as they pass. Social honor will come to nearly every Family matters
Dr. Powell's Committee Holds Mass Meeting
Sunday afternoon, November 9, the Harlem Citizens Committee on More and Better Jobs, in cooperation with the Méohanies Association and the Harlem Housewives League, held a joint mass meeting at Abyssinian Baptist Church. The main body of the church was well filled, as well as large portions of the galleries.
Dr. A Clayton Powell, pastor of the church, and chairman of the committee, opened the meeting with a brief statement.
Chairman Powell introduced as master ceremonies the chairman of the executive committee, Rosie Conklin Bruce, Mr. Bruce said in part that the Harlem citizens Committee is law-abiding, cutting no particular business enterprise for boxing. It absolutely will not countenance picketing in any form. It lays down a general principle: "Let's patronize those that patronize us."
Richard B. Harrison, star of "The Green Pastures," spoke feellessly of the fact that Harlem is a great city within itself providing innumerable jobs of all sorts but that the stores are in the hands of white people, most of whom are foreigners, while our own people do manual work here, as well as downtown, although qualified for better jobs.
Mrs. Cara T. V. Roane, secretary of the Dunbar Vocational Service, called attention in detail to the evergreen colored stores already in Harlem which are both owned and operated by Nexroes.
James G. Mulley, general secretary, Building Service Employees, Local 55, and Deputies, Commissioner Elmer F. Andrews of the State Labor Department also spoke.
Alderman Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, was called upon by the master of ceremonies and emphasized the fact that all possible encounters should be given to the building up of independent Negro enterprises. Mr Moore paid tribute to the model C. M. a grocery store at 144th street and Seventh avenue. President L. J. Rhinehardt of the Mechanic Association stated that the 200 members of this Association are all seasoned union mechanic but that they experience work upon city and state streets. The final address was delivered by A. P. Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. A generous collection was lifted by Chairman Powell. Among the musical selections was a contralto solo by Mrs Charlotte Wallace Murray which arisened great applause.

will require patience and tact. There will be some changes in the employment and business for everyone. The year can be worthwhile. Extravagance will be the cause of much worry for the people of November 20 in the new birthyear, and the best plan is to pay as they go. No money should be loaned or borrowed, and anything bought on long time payments will prove disappointing and troublesome. Those who associate with doubtful friends will regret it. Honesty in everything is best. Nothing that will cause loss of honor should be done as it will come out. Those who like to tell everything they know about themselves and others will have plenty of trouble.
The birthyear for November 21 favors those who can think and speak carefully. Legal matters will be the cause of unhappiness and loss. Those who try to keep their mental thoughts well trained will not suffer through errors in judgment. Some unusual conditions in romance or marriage will come up. The year can be worthwhile. News of loved ones will be memorable.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES BY JAMES H. HOGANS
THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES BY JAMES H. HOGANS
IN WHICH CATEGORY?
It has always been somewhat of a debatable question as to how the work of a Pullman porter should be classified, that is, classified correctly. Should it be termed common labor, or should it be designated as a craft? The phrase, common labor, is so indefinite that it is applicable to any work that is not of a technical or highly skillful character. On the other hand, there are types of common labor in which considerable skill is required. And as skill is the result of training, any work that requires training is to a large extent skillful work. Basing the question on that premise, it seems the term "craft" may be correctly used when referring to the work of Pullman porters.
This question arises on the other day between two New York porters, who were engaged in a duel of words regarding the character of their work. One declared that the work of a porter was drudgery and menial work, while the other was just as positive in declaring that it was not. When the duel was over, the combat was all in favor of the porter on the negative side of the argument.
These are its herbs and beds. Without the proper training, the arrangement of one of these is just as impossible as flying an airplane without any previous experience.
Even when possessed with the knowledge of how it is done, there is still the art of doing it quickly and precisely all of which
But, strictly speaking, it is really difficult to say in just which category the work of the Pullman porter belongs, when all phases of it are considered. Especially is this so in four classes of Pullman operation, namely, sleeping car service, buffet car service, club car service and private car service. There is one other, the parlor car service, but this may be omitted from the list. Moreover, it is the one type of service in which no particular training is required, despite the fact that parlor car runs are considered the preferential runs by the workers, and are operated mostly by the older ones. Yet, no porter in the East, anyway, ever gets a regular parlor car assignment who hasn't at sometime or another served in one of the other classes of service.
But coming back to the four classes these may be taken in the order named. To begin, the sleeping car service. As everyone knows, the principal feature of the Pullman sleeper is its sleeping fa-

There were to present in the chair on last Sunday morning and the music was fine. The congregation was larger than usual. A good-sized congregation heard a splendid Armistice Day address by the Rev. C. E. Wilson at Mount Zion Church last Sunday. A good collection was taken for the pastor's salary. The Rev. John A. White filled his pulpit last Sunday morning. A large congregation was present. The junior church, under direction of Mr. Maire, has grown wonderfully. The attendance is now seldom under 75. The Holy Ghost was enacted at Shilh Baptist Church last Thursday evening. A last audience was present and enjoyed at Mrs. E. C. Rodman was the directress. Mrs. Rodman gave the same play recently for Mt. Zion Church, at which time Miss Georgia Murphy was the leading character.
Miss Albertine Felts is now domiciled with Mr. and Mrs Roy Harvey at 100 Pennington avenue.
Miss Florence Beck, also of the New Lincoln School, is located at 105 Spring Street.
Mr. and Mrs Bairanza, the newlyweds, are located at 27 Montgomery place.
HAMLET. N. C
Hamlet, N. C.—The funeral of Moses Brown Griffin, age 70, father or 17 children, was conducted from the St. Stephen A. M. E. Zion Church on October 20th, Rev. T. J. Houston officiated, assisted by the following ministers, Rees, L. R. Williams, pastor, in charge, E. B. Robinson, L. J. McRae, G. B Mason, P. H. Mumford, J. J. Stubbs and Presiding Elder D. D. McKenzie. The immediate family are: Mrs. Salma Griffin, widow, daughters Mrs. S. J. Watts, Mrs. S. J. Wall, Mrs. Mary E. Street or Raleigh, Mrs. Leslie Teregell, son, J. Griffin, George Griffin, A. R. Griffin of Cleveland, Ohio, two grand and two great children. The church was filled to its almost capacity and understake. Henson handled the situation with ease. The body was interred at the old home, Cemetery—Pleasant Hill. John Henry Frazier has accepted a position as salesman at the McLennan Store and Filling Station.
C. W. Vynns, who is now 20, drives THE AME without glasses. He has been in the railroad service on a while and can give some historical facts about Hamlet. Messrs. James and Connie Ellerbe were home from Johnson C. Smith University last week on account of the death of their grandmother. Mrs. J. H. Robinson and Miss Frances Nicholson of this city are now completing a course at the state institute at Fayetteville, also Mrs. Hattie F. McLinus. Frank Strong has been returned to his same school in Scotland. Rev. L. J. McRae and his corps of teachers have returned to Ellerbe. Mrs. M. J. Honest and Miss Ruth Nicholson goes back to the Osborne school. Mrs. Annie Lawson and Miss Dockery to the Green Chapel school.
cilities. These are its herbs and beds. Without the proper training, the arrangement of one of these is just as impossible as flying an airplane without any previous experience.
Even when possessed with the knowledge of how it is done, there is still the art of doing it quickly and precisely, all of which requires a certain amount of dexterity. Furthermore, this aptitude is not acquired overnight. In fact, some porters never acquire it to the extent that they could be called experts at it.
Now the buffet or luncheon car is usually operated on trains which do not carry dining cars. Some of these Pullman luncheon cars offer a menu that is almost equal to the menus found in many of the diners of the smaller railroads. Perusing one, broiled chops, steaks, chicken and ham, are just likely as not to be some of its grillier specials for the trip. On one road there has been lately introduced a Pullman patrons a special service luncheon for $1 60 supplied by one of these cars.
Therefore, it is obvious that the rendering of such service requires a training above that of the ordinary cook or waiter; for addition to preparing an order, on some cars, in which the patronage is light, the porter is both cook and waiter.
Before America embarked on its tempestuous voyage with the good ship "Prohibition," the efficient barman was measured by the skill in which he could mix tasteful concoctions for the thirsty. Since the sailing of the noble frigate, which is proving very troublesome to the captains and mates of both its Democratic and Republican crews, there is no "stick" to be had for the concoctions in Pullman club cars, but the names by which they were once known still linger on. Fizzes, cocktails, highballs and rickeys are still to be found on the refreshment cards of these cars. And though, these are served minus the gun, rum and Bourbon of yesterday, yet to concoct, them properly requires the art of a barman.
Lastly, there is the private car. A porter on one of these cars must be efficient in all of the other classes of service. Private men are considered the elite workers of the porter group. In the Wagner Car time, so old porters say, the private car man wouldn't deign to associate with the ordinary porter, so important an individual he felt himself. Pullman changed that somewhat when it took over the Wagner interests, still the private car man is highly considered even-today. But, as said, the question is debatable, yet any, passable debater can win his point when he contends that the work of a Pullman porter is not common labor.
A Ray of. Hope
---
There is always some ambiguous soul to whom a political disaster offers a ray of hope. While the Negro Republican candidates for Municipal Judges and the Negro candidate for State Assemblymen in New York are nursing the wounds of defeat in the recount election, there is one politically ambiguous Negro who might see a ray of hope in the results of that election.
This person is none other than P. A. Sample, erstwhile Pullman porter, but at present employed as a Pullman welfare worker in the Penn Terminal district. Incidentally, he is politically minded.
Several years ago, the well-known Pullmanite was the Republican candidate for Assemblyman in Jersey City. He was of course, defeated, but he has never given up the hope of some day being addressed as "Assemblyman Sample." And now that a former redcap, from the same railroad territory, has been elected as a state representative this hope has been kindled anew.
Concidentally, the New York Assemblyman is also a student of Blackstone, the same as our Pullman friend, with the difference that the former is a graduate of several law schools, a degree which the welfare worker never acquired. But aside from that, he would no doubt he just as capable, if he were elected, of representing his constituency as the erstwhile redcap.
Of course, the drawbacks to the realization of the Pulman man's ambitions are too heavily weighted factors. One is, he is a Republican. The other is, he lives in New Jersey. The last appears to be the heaviest handicap. On the other hand, there was the late Dr. George Cannon, who was accorded signal honors by the Republican Party of the State in his day. And for contemporary times, we might point to Judge J. H. E. Scotland of Newark who served

LOYEES
in a magisterial capacity in that city long before Negroes in New York City ever thought of having the race represented on the bench here.
So, though the Negro Republican candidates for office in New York State failed to realize their ambitions, their defeat should give one New Jersey Republican a ray of hope. The ambitions gentleman might reason somewhat like this: If a former redcap can make the Assembly in this state, why not a former porter in New Jersey?
Chicago Superintendent Coming to New Yorks
Rumors have reached New York that J. R. Bryce, a Chicago Pullman superintendent, will come to the Grand Central district in New York in place of D. E. Scudder, superintendent, who, it is said will be transferred to the Pacific Coast as assistant to his old chief, Assistant General Manager J. A. Rittenhouse, at San Francisco.

I know Instructor Reid will be glad when they are gone for they have cost him a good many headaches.
W. C. Blackman is in a class by himself when it comes to holding up his side of any argument. L. G. Sims is another who can talk his way out of any tight place. It is useless to try to convince N. H.

I was just wondering if the Christmas boxes are coming up this year as they did last. They will be more appreciated this year.

We hope some day our porters will understand the difference between a layover and a relief.
Well, we have all voted for our favorite candidates and some have voted to high offices. We won't be seeing candidates again for another year.

Dr. Wm. A. Byrd Renews Contention That New Jersey Synod's Opinion Upholds Him As Pastor of Church
Jersey City, N. J.—The Rev. William A. Byrd, who was ousted two years ago as pastor of Lafayette Presbyterian Church by the Jersey City Presbytery, and who appealed to the New Jersey Synod, reiterates his statement made two week's ago that the Synod's decision annulled the action of the Presbytery, and that under this decision he is still pastor of that church

This statement was denied last week by the Presbytery, through its stated clerk, the Rev. Dr. D. W. Hutchinson, who quoted the Rev. Corde Culp, stated clerk of the Synod, as having informed the Presbytery that:
1. The Synod did not declare 'the Rev. Byrd ouster' illegal.
2. The Synod did not declare that the corporate meeting of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church of Jersey City, held on January 20, 1928, when certain trustees were elected, was illegal.
Said Byrd Was Not Pastor
3. But the Synod did declare that Dr. Byrd was no longer pastor of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church of Jersey City, and adopted the recommendation of the special committee that all of the papers in the case of Dr. Byrd be referred to the Presbytery of Jersey City for amicable adjustment if possible. Following the publication of this statement by Dr. Hutchinson in The New York Age and the Jersey Journal, Dr. Byrd has come back with a lengthy letter to The Age and the Jersey Journal, assuming full authority for the original publication which declared the Synod had ruled his ouster illegal, and declaring further that he believes, in good faith, that his interpretation of the ruling is correct.
Dr. Byrd had already taken action to sue up the monies of Lafayette church by asking, through his lawyer Fred. Dieffenbach, the Trust Company of New Jersey to stop payments on checks drawn by the pre-requisite church officials, and by demanding the trustees to turn over to him and the old board all church funds. This request has been refused by the trustees.
Faces a Possible .Trial
According to published reports, the matter now must await action by the Jersey City Presbytery upon the papers referred to it by the Synod "for amicable adjustment, if possible." The intimatimum is given that Dr. Byrd faces a possible trial on charges, with the further possibility, if the case goes against him, of being unfrocked. However, he will have the right to appeal to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States.
In his original statement, Dr. Byrd was quoted as saying that after securing a full, accounting of monies and properties from the present officers of the Lafayette Church, he would affiliate with the Congregational Church. This was interpreted as meaning that he would not remain in the Presbyterian Church but would take his present congregation, the Community Church, lorated on Communipaw avenue, an independent organization which which he founded after leaving the Lafayette Church, and which has a number of members formerly belonging to the latter church, into the Congregational denomination.
Dr. Byrd's Statement
In his letter to the New York Age, defending his interpretation of the Synod's action, Dr. Byrd said in part.
The action of Synod was to send all of the papers in this case back to Presbytery to adjudicate. In doing this as a court of appeals there was nothing else to think than that

Synod had returned the papers without prejudice to Jersey City Presbytery ordering it to conform to the law in such cases. In all courts of law when a higher judicatory returns a case to an inferior judicatory which came up on appeal it means the restoring of the appellant to his position where he was before the case was ever tried. If this is not true in ecclesiastical courts it is certainly true in civil courts.
Synod's Report
'Synod's report nowhere states that it approved the action of Jersey City Presbytery, the thing that caused my appeal, hence its silence in the face of its returning the case led me to believe I was correct in concluding that I had won. (f) In not a single instance does Synod's committee refuse to back up my position. If I had won, I was in the position that I was in before the dissolution took place. I do now believe that any person knowing the case as I do and having had conferences with those adjudicating it, would believe as I do. There were many at Synod who went home believing as I have expressed myself
A Debt To The People
"I owe it to Jersey City and the people who have stood loyalty by me to make this statement and because two contending parties differ in their interpretation of an act, as no reason to brand either party as falsifying. If this being the case no two judges may differ in interpreting the acts of courts without the stigma of being looked upon as attempting to deceive some one.
"It is enough to say to the public that I and Jersey City Presbytery are two litigants before the courts of the church. As such each has the right to contend for what appears right to him. Touching other statements in that article that appeared Saturday, I simply remarked that some of the finest lawyers in Jersey City are trying to settle this matter without court action and I do pose the most implicit confidence in Fred Dieffenbach, who has been looking after my interests.
Wanta Matter Settled
It is my desire that this whole matter be settled at once without injury to any one, but in setting it in the right thing should prevail: "I am not responsible for the different interpretations anyone else may put upon Symod's action, but I have my opinion which shall hold until I am convinced of the error of my judgment. In making this statement to the public it was made in the free and frank conviction of one who would not falsify for all of Jersey City."
Personnel of Debaters In Scottish-Lincoln Contest at St. James
Much interest is being shown in the approaching international debate between teams representing the University of Glasgow and St. Andrews University, Scotland, and Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, to be held at St. James Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Wint. Lloyd Imes, pastor, on Thursday, evening, November 20. The Scots will take the affirmation on the question, "Resolved, That mechanical and scientific progress does not necessarily represent advance in civilization." On November 5, the invaders defeated the West Virginia State College debaters at Institute, W. Va., defending the negative side of the subject, "Resolved, That in the in-
terest of society, severe punishment is the best method of reducing crimes."
The students from the land of the Shainrock are John MacDonald of Glasgow, graduate University of Glasgow, and now doing postgraduate work. His mate is Norman Alexander Bruce Wilson, born in Edinburgh, and of the United College in University of St. Andrew's both are Socialist. Mr. Wilson wears the formal dress of Balquhidder Highland in his debating.
Lincoln's representatives are Colen Brown, a sophomore, who comes from Washington High School, Norfolk, Va., and Osar Chapman, graduate of Hampton and junior in college of liberal arts.
Ashland Place YWCA Starts Budget Campaign
On Monday, November 17, at 0:30,
over 50 Ashland Place members will
attend the opening campaign dinner
at the Hotel Leverich Towers, which
will mark the beginning of the 'YX'
annual city-wide finance effort Miss
Floria Pinkney of the Branch Committee
of Management will be one of
the after dinner speakers of this
occasion.
The Metropolitan Young Women's Christian Association serves the girls and women of Brooklyn through ten building centers. Of these, none is called upon for more varied service than our Ashland Place Branch. It is the only organization in Brooklyn with a building and program specializing in meeting the needs of colored girls and women. It offers the only girls' residence, the only rooms registry service, the only gymnasium for healthful recreation and athletics. A visit to the "Y" any evening would illustrate the full extent to which the many facilities are essential to the community.
Employed girls and students from 19 states use the residence and cafeteria. All other 'available space is repositioned by club and church groups for such activities as handicraft classes, a girls' orchestra, choral club, religious education, book-lovers' hours, dramatics, basketball, punch ball, indoor tennis, the Negro literature forum and the organized and directed programs of industrial, business, high and grade school girls.
In addition an attack on the fundamental problem of unemployment, with its racial complications and handicaps, is being made by a hasty employment office which offers recently supplemented service in the job financing and vocation guidance aspects of placement work.
To carry on this work citizens of Brooklyn are asked to elp in the finance campaign of the Association during the week November 17-24. Ashland Place teams headed by Mrs. Maria Holbrook, Mrs. Lina Murray, Mrs. Matchie Marshall, Mrs. Renee Richardson and Mrs. Alberta Jones, solicit gifts toward the $15,430 budget difference of the Branch. Every member and friend of Ashland Place is urged to contribute in the recent Branch election Mrs. Odelle Taylor, Miss Floria Pinkney and Mrs. Florence Mills were chosen as members of the Committee of Management. Members relected were Mrs. Maria Holbrook, Mrs. J. E. Moorland, Miss Eliabeth Lark, Mrs. Lena Murray and Mrs. Edith Butler.
"The Footlighters of New York City" will present, November 13, at the New York Public"Library "Little Theatre" 135th Street and Lenox avenue, a series of prize-winning plays. The Footlighters are enjoying a successful year in their dramatic work. The club and plays are under the direction of Paul J. Stevens, whose stage manager is Ivan Achong.
The playlet, "The Embezzlers," by Addie Davies, won first place in the non-member group of plays of the contest, and Theodore Brown's "Within Our Hearts" took second place in that group. Paul J. Stevens "The Beggar at the Door" a three act full length play, took first prize in the members group of the contest. "Honesty" by Eldh O'Scionior is the runner up in this group, and is a playlet. These plays were judged from the "Footlighters" play writing contest of 1930 and they resent a new trend in drama.
The Wilberforce Club of New York, was organized to help Wilberforce University in the State of Ohio. It is a school owned and run by members of our race. The object is to worthy students an dischargations to the school help charity and all worthy causes. The president is Mr. Allen C. Bean, student of law at New York University.
New Clinic Added to
Harlem Health Center
The Medical Guidance Clinic—the most recent service to be added to the Department of Health's new center at 108 West 136th street—will begin to function on Wednesday, November 12, at one o'clock. Thereafter, it will be open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon. The clinic will have medical examination facilities, available only to those who cannot afford to go to a private doctor. Such facilities will include the periodic health examination for well persons desiring an "inventory" on the state of their health, as well as complete medical examination of sick persons suffering from an unknown ailment.
It is not the purpose of the clinic to treat any of those given these examinations. If such persons are found suffering from some detrite disorder, they will be referred to the proper institution for treatment. The Medical Guidance Clinic will also operate an information bureau, open to all those seeking helpful advice.
