REID Put on the spot for what police said was the climax of a fight over splits in the profits of the policy racket, James Mack, 26-year old policy king of South Jamaica, Long Island, was found stretched on the sidewalk at 109th road and Sutphin Boulevard, Jamaica, early in the morning last week. The policy king was alive when found by Miss Millage Stanley of 1 Scudder place. Miss Stanley told police that she was on her way home when she saw Mack lying on the sidewalk. He was still alive and was grooming from innumerable knife wounds and was lying in a pool of blood. She said that, she questioned him but received no reply. Miss Stanley rushed for the police and summoned an ambulance. Dr. Catalenello responded and said there was little hope for the man's recovery as he took him to the hospital. The injured man died five minutes after being admitted to the hospital without regaining consciousness. His jugular vein had been cut, and there were several gashes on the right side of his neck. Detectives and police rushed to the scene. They rounded up more than 25 persons as material witnesses and took them to the police station. Hours of grilling convinced them that none of the 25 persons knew anything about the murder. The murdered policy-king, whose address, was said to be 157th street near Pacific Street, Jamaica, had a police record. He had served two jail sentences after conviction of policy plaving. As the search for the murderer or murderers went on, police advanced the theory that Mack had been put on the spot in a fight over the splits in the profits of the policy racket.

Harlem Drive For Xmas Seal Sale On the Radio MERRY CHRISTMAS 1930 Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, ushers in the form of radio talks to be made in connection with this year's Christmas Seal drive which opens here Thanksgiving Day, November 27. The talk was made on Wednesday, November 19, from Station WNYC and was preliminary to the local campaign, which will also include 'moving picture showings, sale of Christmas Seals in booths, direct-by-mail appeal to hundreds of Harlem residents, and propaganda in the form of posters calling attention to the drive, which are going to Harlem churches, drug stores, industrial plants, schools and similar places. Collections in night clubs, restaurants, theatres and other such stations in Harlem will also form part of the drive. That tuberculosis is preventable was stressed by Dr. Harding, who pointed out that if people attended to themselves at the first manifestations of the disease they could prevent its advance. "These first symptoms," said Dr. Harding, "are very mild and therefore likely to be neglected. They are, general feeling of tiredness and loss of strength, restlessness, irritability or melancholia; loss of weight; night sweats; frequent attacks of grip; a persistent cough, even though slight, temperature in the evening or a slight rise during the day; spitting of blood is of the utmost significance, as is labored breathing after mild extinction; digestive disturbances; diarrhea with fever, and increased pulse, beat "The disease can be prevented," said Dr. Harding, "by avoiding contact with other cases and even people with ordinary coughs and colds. Another extremely important factor is keeping your own body healthy up to par with eight hours sleep, open windows, fifteen minutes a day of exercise, fresh vegetables, milk and a regular examination by a physician to check up on any physical defeats. Hygienic measures such as brushing the teeth twice daily, washing the hands and foodstuffs, and keeping pencils and other articles out of the mouth, are also important." Dr. Harding especially warned against so-called "consumption cures" and urged people to consult their own physicians or the facilities of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee at 108 West, 136th street Dr. P. F. Anderson is chairman of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee: Dr. Harlod L. Ellis, vice-chairman; Mrs. Oma Mina Price, secretary; Mrs. Mabel D. Keaton, R. N. executive secretary; Mrs. B.

Schmidt and Grow, Patralman Charles Follner who is in charge of the welfare bureau, had charge of the distribution of the cartons containing food for a family of four for four days. Clothing was also given out, and, a number of heads of families have been able to secure positions through the activities of the captain, and his men as the 77th precinct. This worthy endeavor is the result of the work of the Mayor's Committee on Relief for needy families, who are unmarried men in the section who are out of work, preference is being given to men who are married and have families. Each box or basket contained a supply of cabbage, onions, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, papaye, baghetti, carrots, bread and eggs. 6th G. O. P. Grives Aid The clubhouse of the Sixth A. D. of which Tax Commissioner John R. Crews is the district leader, was converted into a relief centre for destitute families on Tuesday night. November 18 when groceries were distributed. $^{1}$ The clubhouse Crews stated that while it is a Republican Club, politics will play no part in the assistance to be given. Race, creed or color will not be considered. The club has pledged itself to support the family farm that distract each week for the entire winter. The clubhouse is at 44 Summer, avenue, and a large number of colored people live in this district. Strauss Brothers Feed The Needy Poor Daily According to John Walker, a trusted employee of Nathan Strauss, who heads the Strauss chain of butcher stores, the unemployed colored men in the section—one of these stores do not know of the free meals given by this firm, or they are too proud to stand in lines. Mr Walker told an Age representative that while many white men and women who are unfortunate stand in line, he has noticed few, if any, of our group at this meat market, which is located at Flatbush and Fifth avenues. Last week an average of from 500 to 700 men and women were led stew, bread and coffee each week. The company is associated with his brother, watches the proceedings and checks up so that only those worthy are aided. In 1890 they started their first store at this corner, and now they have 280 stores in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. The meals are served at six o'clock. The women who ask for a meal are served in a separate room from the men. Thanksgiving Day will include practically all of the catables generally connected with the day. The employees of the various stores serve the people. The two brothers are happy in doing this, and state that they hope that others in Brooklyn will do likewise.

BROOKLYN, MANHATTAN, LONG ISLAND Brooklyn K.of P.'s Plan for Joint Installation In keeping with the spirit of harmony that has reigned over the deliberations and public affairs of the local committee for the entertainment of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, the members have deided to recommend to their several lodges and courts that, following the elections of the various lodges and courts, a public joint installation be held. This action was taken at the regular meeting of the committee which was held in the Carlton Avenue Y. M. C. A. While the installation officers would not be a matter for this committee, this action was taken because the committee is composed of officers of the lodges and courts. It was suggested by District Deputy, Grand Worthy Recorder Hassan Hassan and met the five-manual approval of the seventy-five representatives present. At this meeting reports were made on the recent Pythian and Calantine reception that was held at the Elks Home. It was a social and financial success. The net proceeds will be put in the bank and held as a part of the funds for the grand lodges District Deputy Grang Chancellor James E Green, chairman of the joint committee, presided.

Smith, of 589 Herkimer street, wants to retire, but they will not let him. This was revealed recently, when he told an Age representative that he had offered to give up his district capacity in the New York District, but Majong Owkin, the district leader, would not consent to it, as he considered Mr. Smith one of his most valuable aides. With the exception of one man, who is white, Mr. Smith is the oldest, in length of membership, member of the Kings County Regular Republican County Committee. This information was gleaned from Mr. Smith's personal persuasion, for he was reluctant to join the group. We were able, however, to get some interesting information as to the political activities of our group years ago, and from all indications, the Negro Republican in Brooklyn is doing less now in proportion to his numbers than when such men as Mr. Smith, Fred Sheet, the present Alderman Fred Sheet, the present Bob Waddell, "Fill" Henry, Dr. W. R. Lawton, and others were playing the game here. Active in Masonry Mr. Smith gave as the principal reason for wanting to retire as district captain, the fact that he is grand master of the M.W. King Free and Accepted Masons Inc in the State of New York, and is also imperial grand potentate of the Shriners of his order of Masons. These two organizations take up much of his time. The native of South Carolina, and is somewhat of a newspaper himself, having been employed on a South Carolina paper in his youth Englishmen owned the paper and when they sold it, one of them took Mr. Smith to London with him. Smith in Europe Mr. Smith remained in England over a year. He devoted this time to study. His next visit was Portugal, where he continued to study and took up the language. After several years in Portugal, Mr. Smith returned to America. He still had the desire for travel and next visit to Brazil. He spoke Spanish and Portuguese fluently, and was soon at home. With his political ability, we ventured the suggestion that he had remained there. Mr. Smith would have been one of the governors by now. He stated that he might have remained, but became ill, and then he had a desire to return home. Mr. Smith's first visit to Brooklyn in 1882 and he lived at 10 Schenectady in New York and Fulton Street. The house is still there. He left and came back about a year later. Arrest Colored Voters On this return to Brooklyn Mr. Smith took an active interest in the political situation. He tells the writer that few colored men were active politically then, and those who were, were under some Democratic Democrat intimidation was done. Be捏捏 possible colored voters a day or two from election day on some minor charge, and while the voting was going on the colored men were under lock and key. There were a few Negro Democrats and they were unplugged. Forms Garrett Club Mr. Smith had by 1892 formed the acquaintanceship of Walter M. Attertbygur, the white county leader. This acquaintanceship opened into friendship. Mr. Smith and others organized the Henry Highland - Garrett Republican Club. This organization became the recognized Negro Republican body in the county and through it all patronage was disspensed. It remained a power until about 1910, when Mr. Smith severed his relationship with it. George E. Wibecan, a post office clerk, and a power in this club, Mr. Smith did not agree along certain lines, and this had an unhealthy influence on the organization. Mr. Wibecan became president in 1902, and remained president until 1904. About 1082 the late president became a power under Mr. Smith, the club had its own headquarters, and kept them until about 1910. Among the well known men who were active in the Farnett Club were: Frank H. Gilbert, William H. Henry, Albertman Fred R. Moore, William Logan, Fred Johnson, Ben Jackson, James Ryerson, James Abrams, Fred Watkins, David Simons, John D. Xivon, Dr. F. M. Jacebs, now a bishop in the A. M. E. Zion Unite; Ben Williams, Robert E. Eddell, Philips, William H. Charles Curry, Thomas Birch, Dr. W. R. Lasson and Bert Logan. Every district was well organized, and under Mr. Smith the organization had over 2,500 enrolled Negro Republicans on its roster. In those days they conducted meetings and meetings without going to the white man and had more practice and influence. Smith Forms League In 1910 Mr. Smith formed the Kings County Colored Republican League. This was along the lines of the Garnett Club. So attended the Garnett Club ceased to be. About Wife Says Hubby Tried to Drown Her in Canal Charged by his wife, Louise, 27, with attempting to drown her in the Gowanus Canal, Francis. Oliveria, 378 Baltic street, Brooklyn, was held for questioning, according to police, Patrolman John Dolan and two other men, who heard a stream coming from the canal at the foot of 6th street, investigated and said that they saw Mrs. Oliveria, mother of five children, floundering in the water. They fished her out. Police say that Mrs. Oliveria accused her husband of luring her to the canal and pushing her in because of an argument. The husband denied the charge. Brodie-Mishaux Marriage Much interest centered around the maptials between Enoch J. Brodie, the efficient superintendent of the Bible School of Bethany Church and a post office clerk and Miss Evelyn S. S. Mishaux, a group leader of the B. Y. P. U. of Bethan, Church, and a government typist, which was sclenized in the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Conway, 572 Washington avenue, Brooklyn, on Sunday afternoon, November 16. Miss Patter Walter officiating. Mrs. Mishaux was a charming bride, attended by Miss Manie Venable, Jasper Coyington was bestman. The happy couple left immediately on their honeymoon down East. G. O. P. Leadership in Brooklyn Discussed While some local politicians are predicting that Republican County Leader, Meier Stinkbill will soon give up the leadership and permit Internal Revenue Commissioner Walter C. Walsh to succeed him, others tell of his determination to stick, and also tell of his plan to award jobs on a vote basis alone. That is, the districts producing the best results will be recognized—past performance will not count, according to reports. He brought into play for the first time, according to reports, has been applied to the temporary appointments that have been made in the Board of Elections. Several colored men and women are expected to receive such appointments. In regards to Mr. Stinkbill's giving up the leadership, rumor has it that he had been ignored by National Executive Chairman Robert E. Lucas, when Mr. Steinbruck invited him to Brooklyn to be the leader in concerning Brooklyn's treatment in Washington. Masonic Activities for Grand Master J. H. Smith The latter part of this month and the month of December will be a busy one for Grand Master John H. Smith of the M W Kiting Solomon Grand Lodge of Ancient Depths Grand Depths Masons Inc., of New York. On Sunday, November 30, the grand master and his staff will lay the cornerstones for the Shiloh Baptist Church, Tuckahoe, N. Y.

Douglas is pastor of the church. The grand master will deliver addresses at the three services. this time Mr. Smith was giving much of his time to Masonry and the Kings County League, which had become a strong organization, ceased to be active about 1920. In 1900 Mr. Smith was appointed a clerk in the *Kings County Commissioner of Records*. Office in the Hall of Records, where he still is employed. He was the first Negro appointed position in the office this time there is another Negro in the office, W. R. Loftin, who was placed there by the Democrats when they secured control of the office in 1902. Prior to that, Mr. Smith served as a foreman in the Park Department. He was detailed to Prospect Park. He also served in Attorney's office as county detective in both positions he was the first of his group to hold these positions. In closing the interview Mr. Smith emphasized the thought that our group should be self-sustaining in politics, follow one leader at a time, and be aggressive. By self-sustaining he meant have your own headquarters; pay your own party work; campaign time; and be able to secure more and Letter recognition. Brooklyn Pastor Defends Negro Drama Brooklyn Pastor Defends Negro Drama The play, "The Green Pastures" which has made such a success, was defended by a white minister recently from his pulpit during a sermon. He is the Rev. I. Perelual Hueget, pastor of the Tomnkins. Avenue Congregational Church. In lending this support to the drama, Dr. Hueget made mention of the opposition from censors in London and at least two U. S. cities. He extolled the drama as one of the most moving and Christian of the century. Dr. Hueget said among other things: "The Green Pastures' is not irreverent to anyone who views it as a mocking and condenant the play have made the mistake of taking it as a presentation of God and Heaven instead of a realistic portrayal of what Negro preachers have done in backward sections of the South believe God and Heaven to be. "That conception may not be the belief of persons with more advanced religious views, but we have no right to condemn a rejection of such a belief, because bringing is so much comfort and happiness to those who follow it. If the idea is absurd of a Deity who smokes "ten cent cigars" and sits behind a roll-top desk while interviewing angels, and causing trouble by the right to ridicule, because we must remember that the people whose ideas are portrayed are illiterate and taught by equally illiterate preachers. "If the Southern Negro churchmen are the people who have not the opportunity to come contact with enlightened preachers, think they are the chosen people of God, they are not doing wrong. They take the Testament as the written and inspired history of race, instead of a record of the spiritual seeking of the Hebrews. "After all they gain the consolation of what they think of as guidance, that is the all-healing balm of all religions. If their religion is mixed up with superstition and faulty faith," "The Green Pastures" fulfills the highest function of the theatre, in that it is a realistic presentation of the philosophy of a people, and gives to those who view it a better and more tolerant understanding, cross-section of the people that they can appreciate or understand if presented in any other manner." Mrs. Mannie Montero Has Nature Study Classroom Started in Her School After advocating for many years that nature study of a more practical type should be given to children in the public school system, Mrs. Nanne Montero. 287 East 55th street, Brooklyn, a teacher in Public School, No. 28, has seen her efforts rewarded. On Saturday at the request of Superintendent of Schools O'Shea Mrs. Montero journeyed to the office of the Board of Education where she advanced her theory to Associate Superintendent Gustave Straubenmuller who is charge of nature study work in the school. After listening to her story, Mrs. Straubenmuller told her that she thought her plan very commendable and immediately had an order issued for the establishment of a nature study classroom for Mrs. Montero's school. Mr. Montero has been active in the last few years in nature study and has instructed several successful flower school. She has been calling for a large sphere of activity now that she has the official sanction on the public school authorities.

The announcement sby-the Associated Press of the election of Stenio Vincent by the National Assembly, to succeed Eugene Roy. as President of the “Repub. lip of Haiti, was qualified by the ingenu- ous description of the new ruler, as “oppo. ‘nent of the America occupation.” tt swould have beg mare remarkable if the candidate efected by, the Haitians Con- gress had been any other than such an pponent. For the past fifteen years or more. Hasti his hag its President chosen tnd treed upon it bv the American oc eT Ne eee, ere ee ee Me ie Rae ae, of the répresentatives elected by the Hai. tian people in National’ Assembly. doing otherwise than’ signalizing their “regained fight -t6 self-government, however hedged and limited, than by electing 4s President one of their own men, who had opposed American domination. . °Mr, Vincent, the newly elected President is a lawygr by profession, being president of the, Port-ou-Prince’ Bar Association, and editor of a Haitian newspaper, which opposed the American occupation, as did thost of thos¢- published on the island, How the editor kept out of jail is not told, as the American High Commissioner General Russell, believed that jail was the proper place for all anti-American writers, and did his best to keep, them there: Mr. Vincent was formerly in the,Haitian dip. lomatic’ service in Paris and Berlin; was one time president of the Haitian Senate and again. Minister of the Interior, He is evidently no .novice in governmental affairs. : Despité the fact that General Russell has been allowed to tesigngs-High Com: missioner and his functions taken over by the ‘newly appointed American Minister, Dr. G. Dana ‘Munroe, a functionary of the State Department in charge of Latin- American affairs, all is not running smooth in Haiti.. The new minister is expected tc see. that the Haitian government carries out its, treaty obligations, regardless o} the sentiments of the people of the island The short period filled by Mr. Roy as temporary president, until the election o} the National Assembly, was complicatec by the continued’ interference “by the American occupation in the internal affairs of the island and the insistence upon the appointment of Amefican officials who are obnoxious to the Haitians. “One of the recommendations of the Forbes. commission was to'the effect tha the. new’ American minister Should , be charged with ‘the duty of modifying the existing treaty and negotiating agreement: for legs interference in the domestic affairs ci the island, a detail which would undoubt edly prove acceptable to the Haitians. The report of the commission showed that the service of the public debt had been cared for and Several million dollars more of thé principal paid off than was called for by the amortization plan. This led to the conclu- sion that the high taxes on alcohol and to: bacco might be reduced. “Such a measure together with a larger proportion of Hai. tians trained for piublic service, would un. doubtedly have a good effect and lead to a better feeling toward the American gov. ernment . , “With the election of a new, Président through the chosen representatives of the people, Haiti has taken the first step tc regain its former independence, after fifteen years of American dominatién. ALL-INDIA, CONFERENCE UNANI. The surprising feature of the All-India conference. which held five daily sessions in London last week, was the unanimous voice with which the representatives of all the Indian states and peoples demand self-government for India. Even the na- tive rulers of the smaller States, that al- ready have a measuse of autonomy” in their internal affairs, declared for a form of dominion government or an Indian federation of states, free from foreign rule. Hindus and Mohammedans united for oncé in their demands for self-government, while the forty-three millions of “untouch- ables,” as the lowest or pariah caste has come to be known, have teased to depend upon British rule as a protection, and have joined in the demand for native indepen. dence or dominion status, 2 This arrival at such a marked unanimity in the demands of the Indian delegates is the more remarkable jin that the followers of Ghandi, who brought the present revolt against Bntish rule to a crisis, are not re. presented, they: having no faith in the out. come of aconference,* Mahatma Ghandi is still in jait. and his followers are st{ll carry. ing on the campaign of civic disobedience, by refusing to pay taxes or obey the de- crees of the British authorities, for which they suffer, without resistence, the pen- alties of beatings and floggings by the police and terms in native jails, deprived of the most ordinary aids to existence, “The crowning feature of the* London conference was the: parley speech: of Pre- mier McDonald, the parlimentary head of the British governmént and leader of the Labor party. -He was represented as skat- ing over much thin ice in his reply to the demands of the Indian delegates, and his speech was pronnmicedas adroit, in protnis- ing that British pledges would be’ éarried ont. although it was not explained what those pledges were: A secret committee Was appointed to attempt to draw up a scheme for Indian fedération, The unan- imouz character of the demand. for self. government for India has greatly impress- led British outside bpinion. There is now said to be a distinct possibility that India may. win' condessions that were though impossible when the conference first met, The declaration for, federation by, the native princes of India," who it was thought would adhere to British overlord- ship as a measure of insurance for their own rule; was said to have revolutionized the situation, ‘The prime minister said that they had: given the“most substantial contribution in opening up the way ‘to a really united India, The problem, as stated by: Mr. McDonald, was to devise 2 new constitution for! India that must work, and must evolve. In providing such a document it must be one that can be em- bodied ‘in an “act of Parliament. Such a measure would have to run the gaintlet of both Conservative and Liberal opposi- tion, as Lord Peel.and Viscount Reading have opposed any large grant of self-gov- érnment, while Lloyd George is also: op- posed to Indian démands. However, the first sessions of the All- India conference have shown a’ stronger sentiment in favor of self-government. than, was thought possible” before the meetigs-» If British statesmaship is broad enough to meet the emergency, India’s de. mands may be granted without entailing a total loss in pounds and shillings to its present rulers. And that is probably the main. issue that is worrying British statesmen, . REPUBLICANS NEED NEW POL: CIES. Pa | The nature of the verdict rendefed at the pélls the first part of November sug- gests the idea that the Republican party as a whole needs, some new policies, if it is to continue in the Business ofelecting Presidents and” Congressmen: The old policies do not appear to have awakened any .popular response on the” part of the voters. ©The candidates that pulled through the tidal wave, seemed to have accomplished the feat because. of their in- dividtial, records, rather than because-of any party strength. Sant The failure of prohibition enforcement in all sections-of ‘the country has been generally accepted. after over ten years of trial. Even those who were in favor“of the dry amendment when it was adopted; now see the unwisdem of embodying-a police regulation in the constitution. The difficulty of repealing. such sumptuary legislation when. it iS made part of the organic law is patent, so the only remedy is to modify the enforcement act. The Volstead act can be amended by Congres: so as to make each staté assume the re sponsibility of defining what constitutes intoxicating liquor. ‘Prohibition was a device adopted first by the Southern states to keep the Ne groes from indulging in liquor, though it was never intended to interfere with the rights of the whites to make and guzzle moonshine to their heart's content—and it never has. Of course, Negroes would be better off if they abstained from over-it’ dulgénce in intoxicating. liquors, but pos sessing many of the same human aveak nesses as the whites. that is to much tc expect of them. Resides. when such ab stemiousness is prescribed as part of 2 one-sided law, it is not likely te work out . With the modification of ah unenforce: able dry law, the Republicans might try some new policies looking toward the amel: ioration of the disabilities that are encoun tered by various classes of our citizenship in different parts of the country. The farmers of the West complain of lowe: prices for their products, while they have to pay increased prices for manufactured articles consumed by them and their fam. ilies, Whether a paternal government can regulate such things remains to be séen. The experiment of the Farm. Board in buying grain does not argue in favor of sich an assumption, President Hoover, in the beginning o! hiseterti;"gppointed a commission to look into the question of taw enforcement. {1 seems to have found prohibition enforce: meént too hard a nut to crack, but. there are other laws more honored in the breach than in observance that might be cor sidered.. And then there is the matter o| iynching, which should be a reproach te any nation. |, : oo * There are plenty of .néw policies wait: ing around 'for some party to adopt them and give thém a careful bringing up, and there are quite a few votes in same ot them. Of course, it requires some courage to‘pick up.a new and unknown policy fand strive to bring-it up in the way that it should go, but the ultimate result. miay justify such a bold course. A little cour: age and a great deal of backbone are necessary, if the Republican party expects to elect another President during the next two’ years. COMMENTS. BY THE AGE- EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS THE GROCER WHO 'SOLD ue OUT. és ‘ There was a grocery store or a popular avenue in‘ Harlem owned. and operated by a Ne: gro proprietor, and run on up- to-date lines, The people’ of his group rallied to his sup- port and gave him their week. ly purchases of supplies, re- gardléss of the fact that the neighboring chain stores might at times cut his’ prices by a cent or two, It was noticed that he did nat display the C. M.A. platard, showing ‘that he had membership in the Col- cored “Merchants Association, but ‘when approached on that score he made good by becom: ing armember. His'trade grew and old customers took pride in introducing new ones, After some months the, pre- sence of a white helper was néticed behind the counter, which the owner accounted for by saying that he proposed to be away a while and that the new man was to attend to the buying during” his absence. Why his colored helper could Not. attend to. that. detail. was not clearly explained, Anyhow the white man remained- in charge and was soon after joined by a woman,’and they remained permanently, it later becoming known that they had purchased the business from its former proprietor. Now, the question is raised Talking about “Unemployment and the Negro.” the Washington “IWorld touched . upon the situation at the | National-Capital as follows: 8 Much ado is’ being made through- out the nation about unemployment According to statistics given out there are about five or six. million men-now out of work.

Negroes right here in Washington are ber- ging for work with no apparent -re- ef in sight. Hundreds of -Negroes who have held jobs ‘as porters, jani- tors and laborers, have had | their yobs taken away from them and given to whites Such jobs for years have been held by | Negroes, hut now that times are tightening up. they are forced out to make way for others. me The discharging of one man tc make way for another is not rehev- ing unemployment. A majority of Negro workers occupy the lowest rung of the employment ladder. When they are forced out of their jobs. there are practically no others to which they can turn. Forced. ta will the streets, many of these men {fall “into the"ways of erime of every description. Thus can he explained the abnormal percentage of Negroes hailed before judges in our courts, The Washington editor eriphasiz- ed the necessity for giving fair ‘con- sideration to the Negro job seeker in apportioning the available jobs, and argued thet nothing, will aid prosperity more than to give this group employment. . Referring to the rejoicing caused by the defeat of Senator Heftin of Alabama for re-election.” the St. Luke “Herald of Richmond said: Alabama, for the moment, has ‘had a'areat deliverance from the reign of John Thorias Heflin, now bx.

A late supper was given at the residence of Mrs. Nannie Reid, 316 West 19th street on Friday evening. November 22nd under auspices of the Friendly Club. PARADISE BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday morning, and in fact during the entire day, we had wonderful services. Rev. H. W. Stanley started the day with a beautiful discourse "A Man in the Garden" in his course. He proved the fact that we mourn over the destruction of many noble things that have existed in the world, but can anything be more sad than the wreck of a man? Men, when they hear of the Phidian Jupiter that sat forty feet high, carved of iron and gold, and that was so all the ancient world counted him anhappy that died without having seen this most memorable statue that ever existed, in the world. Men meured to think that its exceeding value led to its destruction. Can there be anything more melancholic than the death of a temple as the Acropolis and the Parthenon but of the whole cities of temples and statues. More melancholy than the destruction of a *p. statue*, or a temple, or a city, or a nation in its physical aspects, is the destruction of a man, the wreck of the understanding, the ruin of the more feelings, the loss of the more elements of power that united together, makes man fille the noblest creature that walks on the earth The *bands* and thousands of men make foreign pilgrimages to visit and mourn our fallen and destroyed cities of former grandeur and beauty. Yet all round about, every neighborhood, there are ruins more suspicious, more pitiful, and more heart-touching than that of any city. How strange it would be to see a city that at night was a waste so-restored, that the morning lent of the sun should flash from pincel and tower, and wall and reef. How marvelous would be that creative miracle. But more marvelous ten thousand times is a sense touch by which a man, broken down, is dressed up in his right mind and made to sit clothed at the feet of Jesus. Sunday evening it was indeed a pleasure to come back to hear Rev H W Stanley expound the evening sermon, as that of the morning was so tense and true in its meaning that every person's heart was filled with good thoughts. His sermon was taken from Genesis 9.13 Revolution 4.3, subject "The need of men in a ship upon the sea if a noble ship he said the force he masted hirs in many a broad ward of canvas a hundred looms have given her wings. Her anchor has been weighed to the rude sea ceam, the needle trembles on her deck. Then he pictured the lives of men as a ship that takes its course upon the sea, sometimes tossed and liven with the falling and rising of the ebbing tide. In conclusion he urged us all to take hold of life line for the life boats coming this season. He believes us all to walk in the spirit and prepare ourselves for that day.

The anniversary festivities began with the Queens' Contest, which was held at Manhattan Casino, November 7, followed by the annual bazaar, one of the most successful in the history of the parish, which lasted four nights. It brought together many friends of the parish, and a most profitable time was spent by all. Sunday was a red letter day in the history of the parish. The day she visited the services there—capacity audiences. At the morning services, standing room was at a premium. At 11 a. m., morning prayer was said and the anniversary sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Scott Wood of Pittsburgh, Pa., who takes delight in being present at each recurring anniversary of the parish. Dr. Wood delivered a strong spiritual sermon which moved every person in that large crowd empiring in that great necessity in this mood of great economic depression - courage and faith in God Almighty. The Rev. Howell, curate of St. Ambrose, assisted in the services. The Sunday school was largely attended, and the children were greatly imbued with the spirit of the anniversary.

He spoke of how the condition of Israel was lamented, and how the followers of Jesus believed they would be saved by Jesus. How they lost faith, when they realized His 'Kingdom was' not of this world, and went back to their former occupations. He spoke of the weakness of Christians who cease following the Master to warm by the comforts of the enemy. He urged Christians to beware of backlifting, and Peter helped Peter to recover himself.

At the morning service, there was a capacity upon which to have to be held to have been in full agreement with the Psalmist when he said: "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord." Rev. Dr. L. Ruffin Nichols, the venerable sage of the A. M. E. ministry, chose for his text, St. John 1.6-7: "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John" and of whose name was John, to unto you, among those of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist." He said: "I am sure if you can be interested any person, you should be in Jesus Christ, I like to talk about John the Baptist. He lived not in the christian dispensation, but he lived so near it that he could say, 'It is at hand.' He was the harbinger of it. He lived so near it that he reflected those one Christians qualities which is exemplified, for Christ the true representative of the Christian God." He discussed the three periods in John's life: First period—A period of exaltation. God has no mute-children. "I am in a horrible pit," exclaimed David; "I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me." This happens to every one who becomes a child of God. When the fire begins to burn you must move. "The purpose of a witness is to talk. John at the first, did not know Jesus—but he was convincing. God hath the wisdom in himself." At the Jordan—what John heard and saw—was convincing. The spirit bears witness that we are children of God. Second—The period of dejection. I am sure that each one of you sometime during your christian experience has passed through the Castle of Doubt. John was no coward, but though King, was not living eight—was living in adultery—sin in high places. a preacher of the gospel should condemn sin when and wherever found. The power and influence of a wicked woman, Herod an unwilling instrument in her hands. The result—John bebedded to death. John bebedted to live Where is John this morning. Where is Hered? Third—The period of hopefulness. John never lost hope in courage. The sermon was closed in a blaze of glory. As a result, ten joined the church. Next to the spiritual fervor and impessiveness of the sermon, were the fifteen girls clad in immaculate white, who acted as ushers. That is a practical application of the Scriptural injunction—Traith—a child in the way it should go when young. "With such a foundation," the other services of the day built easily, and day closed gloriously for the Lord. ST.:JAMES PRES. CHURCH ST. JAMES PRES. CHURCH Aside from the membership of St. James Church, many of his New york friends were out to hear and meet with the president and the pastor of the Gloucester Memorial Presbyterian Church, Boston, on last Sunday morning. Mr. Winthrop was guest preacher in this church while the pastor was speaking, to the faculty and student body of Howard University. He was also with the minister was Albert LeRoy Smith, student pastoral assistant in St. James, himself an alumnus of Howard University, and now receiving his minister training at Union Theological Seminary. Dr. James filled his own pulpit at the evening hour, when he preached the joint annual sermon to Salmonnell's Protective Union, No. 1, and Ladies' Protective Unions, Nos 1 and 5, on "The Protection of Our Citizenship." Missions is the general theme in St. James's next Sunday—morning and evening. At the morning hour the pastor will issue a challenge to the church "to trust its youth in the solution of world problems in this generation." Theme: "Youth and Mission." Mr. Smith, student pastoral assistant, will lead service. At eight o'clock the evening the quarterly missionary meeting of the St. James Missionary Society, Mrs. Elizabeth F. Michael, president, will be held. Mrs. Wm. A. Buchanan, secretary for Young People's Work in the New York Women's Presbyterian Society, will bring a special message to the youth of St. James. At young people are especially and widely involved in young people groups of the church will present in a body. The junior chair under direction of Mrs.' F. Irene Sanders, will sing. The first in the cycle of three plays to be staged by the St. James Drama "Club this season was offered Tuesday evening of this week, when the playlet, the Decapitul Msg Smith "H," was presented, in addition to a dramatic contest. Richard Harrison, the "Lawd' of 'Green Bear," the "Laws" of these players, has recommended former pupil of his, Walter D. Smith, who is now responsible for the season's productions and work of the club. It is hoped that his efforts will meet with unbounded success. THE REFUGE CHURCH Wednesday mid-week, junior group, under auspices of the junior group, consisted of a splendid musical program featuring G. Granting J., E. J. Clark, pastor; after a service, Friday's service was a wonderful spiritual leaft and power, be- ginnning with prayer, praise and testimonies, after which a very inspiring message was preached by the pastor, Elder R. C.-Lawson. Following the message, divine healing, in which many persons were gavened, of the meaning of anointing with oil, according to James 5:15-16. Saturday night, from 12 o'clock to 6 a.m., Sunday, the regular prayer meeting known as "The Lyds Watch"—which goes on at Refuge each Saturday night in the year—was one of great spiritual treasure, the power of the presence of the Lord. Sunday, November 23, was a time of great interest in the Refuge Church of Christ. The pulpit was occupied by the pastor at both services, who spoke out of the fullness of his heart. That we had a great audience. That we had a great audience present at both "morning and evening services," and especially the evening service, at which the spacious auditorium was completely filled, extra seats brought in and filled and some standing. Elder Lawson spoke from 2nd Corinthians 10:4 at both services, the Holy Spirit actively ordering the messages in two different ways, from the same text. Both sermons were powerful, intellectually and systematically arranged, and filled with rich food for the soul. He touched on, "Sin and the New Psychology," or the difference between psycho-analysis and religion, man's desires, efforts and present state. He discussed mid-week services, with splendid programs.

UNION BAPTIST CHURCH During the past weeks, we have been trying to assist the unemployed. We have, spent more than $180 to furnish work for men and women, to do more and better situation. We are grateful to the white friends who are giving; as largely to help the cause. Our Week Day School, of which Miss Edith Coleman is principal, has a large Edith Coleman is principal, has very interesting, to the young people. Sunday school, under supervision of W. H. Johnson, was largely attended. The B. N. P. U. had a very interesting program. In a m. a., the choir was out in All. The song was Thanksgiving anthems. The devotions were charge of Rev. B. B. Crocker, he also sang a very pleasing selection: Pastor Sims preached on "A Song of Thanksgiving." The Missionary Circle, Mrs. Mary Harris, president, held their regular meetings. The speakers were Mrs. Lester Carter, Missionary, and Mrs. H. Payne, a returned missionary from Africa. A large crowd attended the evening service. Among our visitors were Dr. C. H. Sears and other white friends from the City Baptist Mission Society, and Judge-elect Charles E. Paley. Pastor Sims preached on the subject, "Going Home." Offering for the day amounted to $638.31. ST. PAUL BAPT. CHURCH The bazaar of the church, which was carried over for an additional week, closed last Friday night, with all of the departments and auxiliary happy over the results. William Lovell chairman, Joseph Thomas, vice chairman, Kenneth Thomas, secretary, with representatives from other organizations of the church, formed the evenings were enclosed by spice programs, some of which were by outsiders, while others were by local talent. Mrs. A. J. Ware gave two programs of the children, which were greatly enjoyed, especially the Tom Thumb Wedding. The members of the different groups worked splendidly, different ones taking charge of the several booths on dif-ferent days, is expected that the financial return will more than compensate for the other efforts by the organizations, such as services and entertainments, which had to be set aside while the bazaar was on. Our prayer services were omitted for two Friday nights owing to the bazaar. His sister's services were well attended. The past preached morning and evening, with George Grandy of Abyssinian Church, field worker for the Harlem League of the Federation of Churches of Greater New York preached in the afternoon at 4 o'clock for the Progressive Club.

Washington) began and the present great, ample and commendable plant is sufficiently striking to be enough for one man to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is. It is but an imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The education and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women for live useful to themselves and their families is of course a most commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Tusogoe the light of the homely but ever living truth which must form the basis of real advance for his race, or any race—WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court. ing services was carried out in that same spirit.

Howard Soccer Team Downs Lincoln Players Howard Soccer Team Downs Lincoln Players Washington, D. C.—Committing an unbroken string of victories for the year, the Howard university soccer team conquered the strong Lincoln University aggregation Friday on the local field by a score of 4-2 before 600 enthusiastic fans. Burrows opened the scoring for Howard early in the first quarter with a well-placed kick Huge Brown headed the ball perfectly the second score a few minutes before the close of the quarter Lincoln's first score came in the second quarter when Arkansas headed the ball in after a perfect corner kick by Johnson. The third quarter was sorriest for both teams, but Howard start- off of the final quarter with a rush, scoring from the kick off, with Burrows bottom, the ball in, Lincoln missed a chance to score when a tree kick was blocked by Lindo, but a short time later per- fect footwork by Vakire resulted in the second goal for the visit- ers. Shortly before the close of the game Roberts of Howard scored a goal in the most beauti- ful play of the game when he drew the Lincoln goal keeper out of position and sent the ball flo- ating between the goal posts. For Howard, Captain Ayahen- gon, Burrows and Roberts showed up well, the last named starring both on the offense and the defen- sure Azikewc, Maupin and Johnson did the brave work for the visitors.

Morgan College Eleven Beats Hampton On the Latter's Home Grounds Hampton Institute, Va. — The Morgan College Bears sailed down to Cheesapeake Bay Saturday and placed Hampton Institute one of the most thrilling games, that has been seen here all season. The Baltimore Boys played superb football and won a well-earned 13-0 victory. The game was filled with action. There were grazing line plumes, spectacular curls, powerful kicking and thrilling forward passes. Ion Conrad of Morgan was the star of the game. He received a kick on his own 45 yard line and ran through the entire Hampton team to Ion Morgan's first touchdown later in the game he caught a forward pass on Hampton's 40 yard line and ran to the 5 yard line. This run resulted in the other Morgan score. Hampton's bone touchdown was made by Weatherford in an abrupt made by Weatherford in a beautiful period. Lincoln Univ.

Detroit the edge over Morton at the jump position the end of the first half round the "Lions" leading by the small margin of 12-8. Shortly after the beginning of the real half, Kelley was inserted to Capt Hawkins for Lincoln.

The whistle sounded the two teams batting in a good field, the score at 18 all, with the extra five-minute period, Capt Hawkins made rear post record. Secondly, made rear winning basket with 40 seconds to go. As the final horn sounded both team were fighting greatly for position of the ball.

The Renaissance Big Five met and defeated a flashy quintet from across the Hudson, called the Hoboken Germans on Sunday night last at the Renaissance Casino. Although the home team finished 11 points ahead of their rivals the game was nevertheless full of interest as the boys gate a good exhibition, of clean flashy playing. The Germans fought every inch of the way and at one time overhauled the "Rens" who had piled up an early lead, and went in iront. Their stay there however was short lived and at the finish of the first half they were 10 points behind—18 to 28. The game marked the return to form of Harold Mayer's star guard, who so far had been unable to locate the basket. He played as the fans know he can play and his admirers were loud in their praises.

The final score was 39 to 50. Billy Pierce's Dance Numbers Go Over Big in "Ever Green," England Billy Pierce's Dance Numbers Go Over Big in "Ever Green," England Charles B. Cochran's English musical, "Ever Green," which opens at the Adelphia Theatre, London, November 28, is expected to open early in February on Broadway with Liveen Lake in star. This big musical attraction with 150 people, has been appearing at the king's Theatre, Oslo, with great success. Traveling with it will be Billy Pierce, New York's colored dancing instructor, and this capable assistant, Buddy Bradley. Billy and Buddy staged the dances for the show and are given their credit on program and all of the advertising. The dance numbers in "Liver Green" have won the favorable criticism of both press and public. Having been abroad four months, Billy Pierce plans to sail for New York shortly after the London opening. He is anxious to see members of his family, especially the baby girl who was three weeks old when he departed for London. No more glamourously youthful future ever lived in the early Southwest than "Billy the Kid," the subject of the exerting and thrilling picture which will be shown at the Douglas Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday, November 29, 30 and December 1. Born in a New York slum, he became the most fearless and dangerous two-gun man in the colorful history of the Southwest "Billy" was credited with having killed twenty-one men not counting Indians before he himself was shot and killed. It is quite interesting to consider "Billy the Kid," one youthful outlaw were alive today, what would be his chances of shooting his way to dominance in gang and hostile-legging a kets? Would his blazing courage 'and flame tipped gun force the underworld or a present day cut to heed its commands?' He was killed when only twenty-one. Would he have lasted longer in this modern era of gang and protection Or, was he simply a bad man of his time? "The story of 'Billy the Kill' is no miracle, but a personal true history preserved class. John Mayhew, a comedian, came to 'Billy', Wallace Berry, as Sherwin Harren, Kay Johnson and Karl Dane head an encomium east of hundred.

Patterson Five is no stranger to Harlem and we are sure there'll be a large crowd on hand to see the Renaissance do battle with their old foe—one of the few teams that have been able to whip them on their home court. It was announced that the Renaissance will play the Brooklyn Visitation on December 10, at Madison Square Gardens. "Brown Buddies" to Entertain Harlem Public School Children "Brown Buddies" to Entertain Harlem Public School Children Through the efforts of Bill "Bo-jangles" Robinson, the management of "Brown Baddies", now in its third month at the Liberty Theatre, has arranged to entertain thirty schoolchildren at the Saturday afternoon majestic for the next few weeks. The children will be selected from the various schools in Harlem and will be a limited free. The first group, from Public School 119, Miss Anna E. Lawson principal, were entertained last Saturday afternoon. They were chaperoned by one of their teachers. "Brown Baddies" is not only one of the most entertaining musical shows on Broadway this season but is also one of the cleanest. It is an ideal entertainment for both young and old. Featured with Mr. Robinson in the east are Adelia Hall, successor to the late Florence Mills as the leading singer and dancer of our group Ada Brown, John Mason and Freddie Taylor and several other well-known performers At The Odeon Theatre "Moby Dick," the talking screen version of Melville's immoral story or whaling days, will be presented on the screen of the Odeon Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, November 20th, 30th and December 1. The picture is without a doubt the most exciting sea drama ever brought to the screen John Barrymore, who loves the sea and everything connected with it, once made "The Sea Beast," a silent picture based on the same story. The talking version is much more elaborately staged and offers one a striking example of the startling difference between the talking and silent screen. Legends of "Moby Dick," the great white whale, with which sailors wives quoted troublesome children a hundred years ago, are incorporated magnificently in this picture. The conflicting loves of mad Captain Ahab and his brother for the pretty daughter of the minister, form the theme of the production. The pohography is beautiful and the storm scenes actually filmed at sea are breathtaking. The "whale hunters" with their primitive weapons, as they rally in their small boats to plunge their comparatively tiny harpoons into the huge monsters, leave on spellbound with their super bravery. Supporting John Barrymore in this great drama are Joan Bennett, Lloyd Hughes, Noble Johnson noted colored star and hundreds of other well-known players.

At The Lafayette Theatre True to the promises contained in the advance notices, the Whitman Sisters have brought to the *Latency Theatre* this week a fine company and a fine revue. Three "spots" alone make the Whitman Sisters' Revue an outstanding attraction and worth a visit from any theatregoer, the marvelous dancing of Alice Whitman, the singing of Ida May and the work of two diminutive tap dancers who were aptly described by May Whitman as "pocket editions" of *Bill Robinson*. Add to these the spirited dancing of an unusually well-trained chorus, the singing of the Cotton Pickers Quartet, the hilarious comedy of four comedians who are new to Harlem, the delightful singing and dancing of Little Princess Wee Wee (famous colorde, midget) and the rousing music of the Whitman Sisters' Jazz Band and you will readily see why record audiences are greeting the Whitman Sisters and their little company, on this, their antgal visit to New York. The Vitaphone portion of the program presents as its feature "The Costello Case." In this gripping mystery drama, Tom Moore enacts the role of a fearless, slow-thinking cop who solves the hailing murder mystery when headquarters failed and after he had been cornered by as desperate a gang of racketeers as ever preyed on Broadway. DUKE ELLINGTON - Next Week Fresh form their triumphs in Hollywood, Duke Ellington and his marvelous orchestra will appear at the Lafayette Theatre next week as the latency attraction of Leonard Harper's newest revue The revue in which Duke Ellington's band will take part will be a very fitting vehicle for Leonard Harper has been hard at work for the last four tour weeks training his beautiful chorus and specially dancers and setting singers, soloists and dramatic artists into their parts in his revue, which will be entitled "Double Check Revue." Eddie Lemur, the well-known comedian and producer, is assisting Harper in staging the comedy element in the show and will himself do the main comedy work. The Bon Bon Burdies, Pee Wre and Joe, the three Sepsa Songbirds, Harold Doule, and Harrel Colling, are also in the cast. Hal Bak will assist in the fun by conducting part of the show as a Master of Ceremonies. Al Jackson, Vittaphone sensation "Big Boy" will be shown on the same program with "Double Check Revue." This great "fool" artist, who has achieved such world-wide fame as a "black faced" performer, plays the part of a Negro worker in perfection. At The Rousevelt Despite his reputation for portraying the simplest grok characterization in pictures, as well as being the screen's best-dressed man, Edmund Lowe still maintains that a thrilling melodrama, filled with opportunities for strong characterization, is his favorite type of film story. To such a role, no matter what station in life the character might be holding, Ethel maintains he can give his best "What Price Grace" and "The Cook-Lyved World" established him as a hard-boiled sergeant "Born Reckless" permitted him to portray a modern gangster, as did "Good In- Renaissance Theatre An unusually excellent program has been arranged at the Renaissance Theatre for this week. Tuesday and Wednesday, "Holiday" with Agn Harding, Mary Astor, Edward E. Horton, Robert Ames and Hedda Hopper will be the feature. It is a palpitating story of two sister in love with the same man. It has a moral that remains in one's mind forever. Thursday and Friday, November 27 and 28, Ranon Novarro in "Call of the Flesh" with Dorothy Jordan, Renee Adoree and Ernest Torrence comes to the Renaissance. This is a vivid drama of Spain, Navarro, who plays the part of a Spanish opera singer, not only sing's some excellent operatic airs but does some really fine Spanish dancing with the beautiful Renee Adoree as his partner. The story takes one into a couvent and is so intensely dramatic thrilling and heartbreaking that one is held spellbound from start to finish. Here is a worthwhile picture that assures entertainment of unusual interest. For four days commencing Saturday, November 29, Maurice Chevalier in "Playboy of Paris" will be the attraction, coming to this theatre direct from its two week run at the Paramount. The noted French star is even better than he was in "The Big Pond." He is supported by O. P. Hegie, Francis Lee, Eugene Pallette and the gold-digging Dorothy Christy. The Chevalier whimsically and all of his personality are at their best in this rollicking tale of a waiter with high aspirations. It is a picture that you cannot help enjoying. tentions "This Thing Called Love," as well as many other Love vehicles, gave him ample opportunity to show his display of impeccable attire, including his famous silk hats and evening clothes. "After each of my pictures," Eddie declares, "fans write to me with advice that I should repeat the same type of character. They tell me to stick to roles in which I have done good work. This, to me, would be suicide. I like nothing better than to bring a new characterization to the screen." Lowe's dual role in "Scotland Yard," his latest Fox Movietone success, which will be shown at the Roosevelt Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, November 29th, 30th and December 1st, is a splendid example of the kind of work he likes to do. In this picture, he is seen as a master criminal, in officer's uniform, business suits and faultless evening dress; yet it is the strong characterizations and tense situations that make his acting superb not the fact he wears. Thus, despite the fact he has made outstanding successes in each of these modes of dress.

Ramsay, Basso, Back on Concert Stage After a considerable period of absence from the concert platform, Packer Ramsey, basso, made his reappearance on Thursday evening, November 10, at the Elks' Imperial Auditorium 101 West 129th street, before a good-sized and throughly attractive audience. Prof. Ramayah has been devoting most of his time recently to teaching, but that he has not all together neglected his own vocal development was evident from the effective manner in which he interpreted his program. In previous recitals, the singer displayed an art of considerable proportions, an art which entitled him to high ranking among vocal artists. And in this recital he again proved the solidity and merit of his training. But one missed some of the resonance and color present in his rote on former occasions. This reviewer is informed though perhaps not authoritatively, that Mr. Ramsey has given some of his time to stage productions, and the effort of singing against or with a large group of voices of varying degrees of cultivation may have necessitated an expenditure of tone that has taken its toll. His program was varied in its makeup, with items of much interest. Perhaps the best singing of the evening was rendition of the "Creeal" from Verdi's "Othello", in which he rose to great heights. But in this, as in all other numbers, the singer was handcapped by the over-exuberant temotousity of his accompanist set down on the program as Maestro Oddee Sommovigo. The pianist had little regard for the ethics of accompanying, playing the accompaniments most of the time as though they were pianoforte solos instead of a support to the voice. Mr. Ramsey's program included the following - numbers: "Blow" Blow; by Sarjeant: "The King's Minstrel," Pinsuit, "Kitua Gitanua," Newton: "Il lacerato spirito" from "Simon Bobcannegra," Verdi: "Jinvutu," Huh: "Le cor" in French, Fleger: "La calanna" from "Il Barbierte de siglo," Rossini: "The Storm Friend," Rocekel. An added number sung with splendid effectiveness, was the stirring "Give a man a horse he can ride" Assisting artists were Mme. Marie Cella, coloratura soprano, who disclosed a voice of some sweetness, and Signor Daniele Morales, baritone, who sang with much vigor and power, but with more dramatic action than vocal smoothness. Carl Diton Presents Young Tenor in Recital Expressing the opinions that young students of music will gain benefit from early public auditions, instead of being forced to wait for ripe maturity, Carl Diton, teacher and composer, presented a young tenor who has been studying with him just a year at St. Martin's Chapel on Thursday evening, November 20. The singer was Edward Byas, and he disclosed a voice of promise, with some pleasing inflections. The young man approached his task with considerable aplomb for so young a student, and if he suffered from stage flight it was not noticeably apparent. The voice itself, with certain agreeable qualities, has a strong nasality of tone that, with proper training, may be eventually eliminated. But at present this quality leads frequently to a departure from true path which must be remedied before the youngster becomes abducted to the habit.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM 802 seems to be doomed to another pasmodic outburst of agitation by a faction of disgruntled members. The local has recently transferred its offices from 57th street. It has been brewing for some time, but it now seems to have reached definite foundation. Local A. Eighth avenue to East 56th street, taking complete control of the premises to the exclusion of the Mutual Musicians. Protective Union, most of whose members are also members of Local 802. Local 802 is the only local in Greater New York recognized by the American Federation of Labor. Its chairman is appointed by Mr. Weber, president of the national body of the American Federation of Musicians. Mr Ed' Canavan has been appointed chairman regularly since 1921, the year of its charter, and therefore must have fulfilled his adduous duties, to the complete satisfaction of the powers that be. But a group of musicians are using every method to dislodge Mr Canavan from his appointive position. A few weeks ago, a petition to that effect was circulated, asking for signatures to oust him. Two demonstrations were made at the offices of the union in which at least one of the police had to be called to quell the disturbers, who shouted, "We want work!" We want work! meanwhile pounding with their hists on the doors of the inner offices, improper conduct as touching more matters have also been presented against Mr Canavan and broadcast on a printed circular. Meanshilfe, the **Governing Board** had held a special meeting and among other things had decided to aid unemployed musicians by contributing from its local treasury $10,000, and assessing musicians, who played; certain engagements, five per cent of their earnings to go to the fund for the needs; killing musicians. A relief committee (serving without pay) meets every Monday at 10 a.m. to give relief to needs musicians. The proposed raised a storm of the treasury was granted and called for Monday: November 17. The ballroom of the building in local headquarters was packed to suffocation. About 3,500 musicians gathered to listen and voice their opinion. We may venture the opinion that few races were unrepresented in this turbulent body of musicians. And it may be here recorded that Chairman Canavan who presided, with savvity and farness, at all times was in conformity with the set giving each recognized speaker a chance to air his views. There was no violence other than speech, but plenty of it. Of course, uniformed police were outside on the sidewalk and in the hallroom, as well. The per cent tax was resumed. This tax would have affected many Harleian musicians who play "rings" or single engagements, and would have put leaders or bookers in trouble as they would have been responsible for the payment of the tax to the local But here is a high light on Monday's meeting. Our esteemed friend, Karl Cooke, got the floor and in Stentorian tones proclaimed himself representative of the Harlem musicians, referred Oscar DePriest of Chicago as some colored Harlem politician and talked himself on to a committee of 15 that was being formed to devise ways and means of putting musicians to work in conjunction with the governing board. Fine! A meeting was called subsequently and Karl was given time and requested to present creative ideas in his course of musicians in Harlem. But Karl's musician friends failed to rally to his assistance and his 'big moment' was lost. Karl's name was dropped from the committee. Another high light was when a musician asked Mr. Canavan to resign as chairman of Local 202 "Even if I did" was Mr. Canavan's reply "how would it help you?" If I dropped dead here and now another man would be AP-POINTED in my place. The officers' point in the Local but the Federation apparently mindful of its past troubles holds to the course of conservation and sanity in the handling of its affairs rather than to radicalism and, perhaps, destruction. Hence its appointments in certain positions. If any charges are entertained and a trail held Mr. Canavan will appear before the same body which has successfully appointed him in office for the past nine years. There was a fairly good sprinkling of colored musicians who attended the meeting. Advocates of the Canavan regime point out his strenuous efforts with theatrical and movie houses in getting these places to keep on the payroll a larger number of musicians than they had scheduled for when the mechanical devil struck Broadway. They also mention his dignified and painful advertising campaign still being connected with the aid of the public to demoralize the human and not mechanical music. No strike has been called to create any antagonism or loss of business to moneyed interest. Neither has the public been deprived of going to their favorite show house in peace and comfort Speaking with Mr. Canavan in his office after the meeting adjourned, in reference to charges circularized about him, he said that some members of a theatrical musical club of which he was made an honorary member, had been denied by the Trial, Board of these musicians, fitted a $1000, came in his office, and threatened that if he (Canavan) did not have the fine reduced to $100, the club member would claim that Canavan was a party to the offense for which he was fined. The musician was shown the door; then followed the accusation. Horace Henderson, pianist, and his orchestra were all fined on the charge made against them for under the Dunbar Palace on Seventh avenue. The leader, Horace, was fined $10, and each of his musicians was fined $25 Pretty tough in these times to pay that kind of fine. But the Trial Board of Local 802 is trying to stop musicians camouflaging and taking less than the union rate for engagements. It is difficult to get conclusive evidence in these matters, as musicians who accept work under price will be subject to the same rules as those selves from a fine contract-filed at the union are becoming "just a scrap of paper" as leaders and musicians, egged on by proprietor, will accept engagements under price, figuring that if they refuse the engagement the other fellow will accept. We wonder if the proprietor of the Dunbar will, in any way, assist Mr. Henderson and his musicians to pay their fines. Allee Ross and his orchestra, who have been playing at Comme's but in Harlem for a long time is said to be coming out on Thursday, November 27. Fletcher Henderson and his hand is reported to take Alice's place.

"The Green Pastures" Cast at Grace Church Grace 'Congregational Church,' the Rev A C Garner, pastor, was filled to capacity Sunday evening, November 23, the occasion being the annual Thanksgiving concert sponsored by the choir, Miss Olive L Jeter, director, the feature being the appearance of members of the cast of "The Green Pastures," headed by the star of the company, Richard B Harrison, who has distinguished himself by his interpretation of the role of "The Lawd" in the play. After being introduced by the pastor, Mr Harrison spoke briefly of the company, passing tribute to the members for their splendid work, and took occasion to express grateful thanks to the church and choir for the splendid testimonies extended him and his fellow Thespians. He then presented Salem Tutt Tumt Whitney, whose role is that of "Noah as master of ceremonies. Mr Whitney was happy in his presentations and witty in his applications." Members of the cast who were on the George Randle (“Pharaoh”), baritone, who sang two groups of songs in fine style; Miss Marguerite Avery, soprano, and Cecil McNair, basso, of the Hall Johnson choir, which is such a distinctive feature of the play, and Charles Winter Wood, reader, who is understudy to Mr Harrison. Miss Avery's singing was delightfully done, her voice showing depth, color and clarity. Mr McNair was somewhat indisposed and was compelled to limit himself to only one of the four programmed numbers. Mr Wood also appeared only once, and this break in the program was filled by Mr Whitney's reading one of his own poems, "Ma and Pa." The church choir sang in fine style, with Huso Bornan at the organ, and tributes to "The Green Daisies" cast were led by Dr. Ginnie and Dr. Hilder, secretary of the New York Urban League. Each member of the company present was introduced to the congregation by Mrs Jeter, with a brief statement as to the individual capacity in which each one was concerned A group of pretty girls, who take part in the Babylonian Court scene—the Misses Lenore Winkler, Constance Perdue, Inez Persaud, Florence Lee and Mary, Elia Hart—with Miss Edna Harris (Zeba'), in charge of Mrs. Edna Thrower (Slum Angel'), served as ushers. All chief officials at the door were Edgar N Parks, H I Prust and William Grant Still. Several persons recently have spoken to me most encouragingly upon the progress of our "woman's Page." I use the the encouragingly" because it was just that this is a new feature adapted by The New York Age particularly for its women readers, and when they express themselves as being helped and inspired then we certainly are encouraged.

TUCKER Pharmacist and Chamal Beautiful Finger Nails Well kept, finger nails show good judgment. Finger nails should look like many pink pearls. Then they are pretty.

"They" were the wild ones who do anything to attract attention, who frequent the cafes of Montmartre, and the left bank from the cocktail hour until dawn. The limbs in nail enamel is dazzling Chinese red. Any freaky color smear beyond that is bizarre and silly (Chinese red can be acquired only by applications of the veneer that is applied with the camel's hair brush.

Next in importance to the cleanliness of the finger nails is the manner in which they are shaped. The shape of the hands should be considered.

When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love and praise, Unnumbered comforts to my soul The tender care bestowed The tender care deserved. Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou. With health renewed my face; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, -That tastes those gifts with joy. Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue. And after death in distant worlds The glorious theme renew.

DENNIS Thanksgiving is here again. Many will feel that this year, especially, finds them vaguely wondering if they should still be thankful for spite of every adversity stalking them and theirs. ```markdown ``` Yet in spite of suffering and hunger and a nd poverty we may may not be helpful, according to to Papint, that greatest of Italy's men of letters; Jesus; our Master was one of these good men. We should be proud to be classed with Him "for the servant is not greater than his Lord." "For Jesus is the poor man infinitely and rigorously poor. Poor with an absolute poverty. The prince of poverty! The poor man who lives with the poor, who has some the poor, who speaks for the poor, who gives to the poor, who works for the poor! Poor among the poor, destitute among the destitute, beggar among the hegglers! "The poor man of a, great and eternal poverty! The HAPPY and RICH. POOR man, who accepts poverty, who desires poverty, who weds himself to poverty, who chants of poverty! The beginer who gives alms! The naked man who covers the naked! The hungry man who feeds others, the muracious and supernatural, who changes the men, owning false riches into poor men and poor men into those with real wealth. "There are poor men who are poor because they were never capable of acquiring wealth. There are other poor men who are poor because they give away every evening what they have earned that day, and the more they give the more they have. "The wealth, the wealth of this second class of poor men, grows greater in proportion as it is given away. It is a pile which becomes greater as more is taken away from it." Some scoffers may sneer at this as being impractical advice or, not twentieth century economics I advise such to meet 'Father Divine' of New York, who is doing just that now and succeeding admirably in puzzling all the wise-acres. Yes, let us be thankful that in the midst of poverty, God is nearest us and caring for us and His Ways have always and will be always mysterious because "they are past finding out."

Ruth Ford Wins Honor Of Phi Beta Kappa By LULA BURTON Ruth Ford, senior at Hunter College, has climaxed a long list of academic awards with the coveted honor of Phi Beta Kappa! Hunter College High School, from which Ruth graduated in 1927, recognized her academic worth by presenting her with three prizes for excellence in Latin, German and general scholarship; Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority awarded her a scholarship of $150, granted yearly to the Negro girl of highest scholastic standing, and at the same time, Ruth received the New York State Scholarship of $400 for her superior Regents standing In September, 1927, Miss Ford matriculated as a classical major in the freshman class at Hunter College. Latin may be a dead language for some, but for Ruth it lives. doing continuously good work in her classes, she is an active participant in extra-curricular activities at college. For five terms she has been secretary of the Classical Club. She edited the 1929 issue of the college Latin magazine. During Hunter's recent celebration of Virgil's anniversary, she worked as the associate editor of "Virgiliana," a college newspaper in honor of the occasion. She also has the distinction of being the second vice-president of the Hunter chapter of Eta Sigma Phi a national honorary classical fraternity. Ruth's interests are more vans and active than even this misguidate. She has a flare for journalism. In her thorough way, she has become a valued member of the Journalism Club. For one year she was reporter on Hünder College happenings, to the Amsterdam News; this term she runs a column on news about students in The New York Age. Now Ruth has been elected to Phi Beta Kappa and so received one of the highest honors which any college in the nation may bestow upon a student in recongition of scholarship and character. Ruth Ford is carrying on the splendid record which Negro girls have made at Hunter. In 1926 Marian Wilson graduated from college with similar awards. In 1924 Melva Price who was also a classical scholar took her degree with the whole college granting her unexcelled honors and praise. Lucille Spence was another Phi Beta-Kappa student. At lunch hour, when one of her clubs or committees is not meeting, you can see Ruth Ford in the Hunter Exchange. You might not suspect that the small quiet girl with large bright eyes, and an altogether disarming smile, has made Eta Sigma and Phi Beta Kappa. Ruth doesn't flaunt her Greek letters. Her genuine interest in and generous praise of what other girls are doing is much too great for that. She would rather tell about her Sunday school class in Trinity Baptist Church or the Fountlighters a club of young people who recently presented "The Bergar At the Door," the leading part of which was played by Miss Ford. Ruth'sobbies are sewing and dish-washing Classmates, white and colored, know and love Ruth as a generous scholar and friend.

Howard President Criticises Religion of South About three thousand men, women and children, sat patiently for more than one hour on last Sunday morning at the Abyssinian Baptist Church and listened to the anniversary service delivered by Dr. Mordae Johnson, president of Howard University. Several hundred who could not be seated were glad to have an opportunity to stand in the aisles throughout the services. Dr. Johnson took for his text "God is Love, Ve that love ablent in God and God in him." He spoke of the impression that the church has made on the lives of Negro men and women. Here they bring their problems and their sorrows, and receive help and encouragement." "I know of men and women who believe that there is no place in their lives for religion, and I am sorry, to say that the number is on the increase. We must look criticism in the face and see how much of it is true. There is a great deal of truth in their criticism. They believe that if religion had any influence on people, the south would be the most religious section of the country. There are more churches in the south preaching religion than any other section in the United States. During slavery, ministers preached religion from their pulpits and at the same time preached that slavery was all right. He continues to preach that segregation is all right. The southern minister preaches to those who continue to heap injustices upon us. They read the same Bibles that we read, sing the same songs that we sing and pray the same prayers that we pray." Dr. Johnson further said: "If I could get a group of men together who were willing to be trained to go to the south and wipe out these evils, could they count on the South to help them?" "Religion must challenge men and women and women to its highest expression and must be vital. One of the most perplexing questions to be the sufferer of the righteous." "Religion is a creative force that helps men and women to met their problems. Wherever love is, that is the expression of God, whether it be from the man higher up or the man of the street. We need a ruthful religion that will always be experimenting with human souls." One year ago the Handmaids of the Most Pure Heart of Mary, the only community of colored sisters in New York, secured through the League of Our Lady of Good Counsel a small house at 40 Algernon avenue, Prince's Bay, S.

The auxiliary of Good Counsel League, a number of ladies banded together to help this work, have installed a heating plant and this must be paid for. In order to help aline, the sisters will hold a small Christmas Sale at 40 Algernon avenue, on Saturday and Sunday, December 6 and 7 from 2 to 6 p.m. We have arranged a bus ride for city friends right through the main thoroughfare of Staten Island to the novitiate.

Dr. Haynes spoke at length concerning his experiences while in Africa and gave some interesting facts concerning the natives. He said, "There are a few American Negro leaders, like Max Vergan of South America, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Edunston of Congo Belge, and Messrs. MacDowell and Cole of Angola, who are working among the natives, and they are highly respected for their character and their work. There are also many white missionaries, like Ray E. Phillips on the Gold Coast about Johannesburg, and Henry Bess of the Congo, and Dr. Hellenbock of Angola, who are giving devoted service and who champion the nation's cause at all times. They want us to send more like these leaders. Both the governments and the people out there are eager to merit our goodwill and good opinion of them. Those of us who believe in democracy and Christian ideals should take an active interest in life on that continent." Among the many prominent guests present were John M.

Everyone has his tale of what it has done or is doing to him. Like in every line of industry, the depression has struck the priced restaurants which obtained one need not refer to statistical reports for this fact. Any Pullman porter can supply it. Like wise, there may be found here, as the elsewhere, some one who believes the situation is overdrawn, and that this is developing a psychological reaction which is not the only devitalizing to business but man, for he never was in business, is helping to retard its recovery. This idea was recently expressed by a veteran Pullman porter, who was asked if he, too, was suffering from the current situation? "I should say I was," he replied, "Do you, know of anyone who isn't in some form or another?" He added, "those who are not actually affected are so fed up on it that they have the depression complex, like a passenger, told me the other day he had. "The passenger, who lives upstate, and is a very, wealthy man, rides quite frequently with me on his trips to and from New York. He was on his way home and got to talking about his reaction to the present situation, after relating the New York picture of apple vendors; bread lines and the unemployed hordes, as he saw it. "He declared that he had seen, heard and read so much about the depression that he was acquiring the complex. He then went on to say that instead of occupying a six-dollar room in the hotel, at which he usually stops when in New York, he took a four-dollar a day one this time. Instead of paying $1.50 and $2 for his meals at the hotel, he cut these to seventy-five cents and a dollar by Miss Matilda Taylor Dies Miss Mathilda Taylor, for years an employee in the city's postal service at City Hall Station, Manhattan, died at her home, 308 McDonough street, Brooklyn, on Monday, November 17, after several months illness.

Wetherless, the former being secretary of the Carlton Avenue Branch of the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A, and the latter a teacher in the public schools of New York City.

FORT VALLEY HIGH WINS SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP Pt. Valley, Ga., A 25-0 victory over the Booker T. Washington High School of Atlanta here Saturday, November 22, gave the Fort Valley High and Industrial School eleven the high school champion ship. The local team had scored 124 points to none for their opponents in five games played this season, and have one of the best teams in the history of the school Booker Washington fought games, but was outclassed throughout the game. eating at one of these popular-priced restaurants which obtained in New York. As a further instance of economy, he declared that he had walked from his hotel to the station that day instead of taking the usual taxicab. "Now the depression hasn't relayed affected this man in the way it has the average business man, for he never was in business, his wealth having been left to him. But the talk about it is so general that he has the idea that by bringing economy he is helping the situation, when, as a matter of fact, he is helping to keep it depressed. "He was surely depressing to me, for I didn't escape the complex. He gave me fifteen cents instead of the quarter he formerly gave. "So, you think, "the porter was asked," that the publicity given to the unemployment and business situation is having a mental effect which is harmful!" "I certainly do, he replied. This, of course, is merely one theory of the matter, but there might be something to it, after all. Anyway, any general subject which the observant Pullman porter cannot correctly analyze himself the traveling public usually supplies him with a tenable, idea of it. Picked Up Here and There For the first time since these annual meetings have been held, W. C. Taylor, assistant employment agent in the New York district, was not in attendance at the grand association meeting of the P. P. B. A., which was held in Chicago last week. There was a compelling reason for Mr. Taylor's absence. The illness and subsequent death of a beloved sister was responsible. As is well known to his intimate friends, the employment man is a bachelor, but in a way he is much of a family man, for he has always maintained a home in Brooklyn, which has been presided over by this sonister. On one of these Miss Mathilda Taylor died on Monday of last week. Her death was not unexpected, consequently, Mr. Taylor, whose vacation each year has been spent in attending the association's annual gathering, did not attend this year function. Nevertheless, the association didn't fail to let him know that he had its sympathy "A floral piece and telegrams of condolence were its tributes of respect. Local Committee "C," an industrial unit of the Plan of Employee Representation in the New York district, of which Mr. Taylor is a member, was also among the organizations to send expressions of sympathy. W. H. (?) Graham, a Birmingham, Ala. porter, so the news comes as this goes to press, has won the coveted secretaryship of the P P B. A., which was made vacant by the alleged peculiations of O. E. Robinson, former incumbent. W W Wright, a young porter in the New York district, was among the candidates for the office. When this reporter inquired of a veteran member of the New York porter's candidacy was considered, he replied: that he didn't know, but from his knowledge of the association's methods, one must be active in its local affairs before one can hope for any conspicuous attention in a matter of this importance. Funeral services for the late M. M Snowden, for years custodian of the porter's quarters at Melrose, one of the oldest retired porters in the New York district at the turn of december, Monday, November 19, were held in Duncan Brothers Funeral Park, Seventh avenue, on Saturday, November 22, and were attended by veteran members of the Pullman organization in this community. Burial was in Woodland Cemetery. Porters in the Grand Central territory are rallying in a commurable manner to the pecuniary condition of Prince Jones, a veteran member of their group who is suffering from a peculiar illness. Headed by Tom Lafthe house, an old friend, a committee for temporary relief has been formed among the sick man's fellow workers. A Thanksgiving surprise party, sponsored by Mrs. Lydia Canegata of 162 West 142nd street, will be held on Thursday evening, November 25, for Edward E. Fiffort, of the same address, who has been suffering with paralysis for the past nine months. Subscriptions for the doce may be made to Mrs. Canegata at the foregoing address. The term "furlough" is having an omnious meaning to those porters who have entered the Pullman service in the last twelve months. Of the three hundred porters employed in the New York district last spring, fifty per cent have been furloughed. And, as one Motte Haven supervisor told this correspondent, more are to follow. For the first time in twenty years, the yearly trip of the Deerling, Mulliken Company, a corporation owners of more than twenty trotton mills in the South, with Joe Price in charge of the Pullman end was not taken this year. The current depression was given as the reason for cancelling of the trip. Porter-instructor C.-H. Hunter of Melrose announces the formation of a Pullman basketball team for this winter's sport activities among the porter group. The team which will be composed of semi-professional material, will be open for engagements with opponents of similar standing. Mr. Hunter is hoping for the support of every member of the porter group in the district in this venture. Penn Terminal Notes By J. T. REID W. S. Thompson has returned to duty after being off on account of an injury since October 18. It pays to be careful. J. A. Stewart should take W. Kearney in hand and beat into his head the running time between New York and Point Pleasant, N. Y. Our check boards are drawing large crowds these days. Among the many notables were H. L. Kigore, B. Jenkins, A. Cinty, E. Bell, A. Avent, R. Strong, S. A. Brown and A. Livingston, but when James from Atlanta appears on the scene, all of our boys drop out one by one. This boy can move a mean checker, W. Kearney should check up on F. G. Winston at once. H. B. Bullock, J. Allen, No. 2 W. Althimer and J. W. Rodgers all on San Francisco, Calif. Distract, were a happy bunch when the final score was flashed on the board showing that St. Mary's football team had defeated the strong Fordham team. Now that's what I call loyalty. P. A. SAMPLE and wife attended the football game between Michigan and Minnesota Saturday, November 22, at Ann Arbor, Michigan and then left for Chicago where they will spend ten days visiting old friends. Our old friend, Sample, is running in true form. We have just been told that he lost $5 out of his vocket enroute to the train. Well we know Mrs. Sample had a good laugh, this time. We would advise her the next time that she travels with her husband to take all money from him and then put a pair of gloves on him. We are all waiting for our old friend when he arrives back home. The following porters are still off sick: G. E, Callahan, W. H, McPherson, W. Jones, No. I, L. Moore, N. G Tateman, D. G. Gavin, L. C. Jackson, A. Wheeler, P. Hunt, A. L. Perry, P. E. Hinton, W. J. Graham, A. B. Robinson, G. H. Perrin. Now porters do your duty and wounds you can visit the sick. You, too, are be sick some day. H. L. Gilmore is going around with his hat on one ear these days and when you ask him why all the smiles, he will tell you "Well I will soon be on Easy Street. H L. Gilmore, jr. has arrived and will soon take my place on the branch." Now something should be done about this. Will someone please tell Instructor H. W. Kirk that P. A. Sample will be back on December 4. Stop crying boys. Eat apples and help the unemployed and when you buy books on the bridge, please let it be books.

PAGE TEN THE NEW YORK AGE Saturday, November 29, 1930 MILLION DOLLAR GAS WELL COMES IN ER Charlotte Hawkins Brown Honored By Friends, Faculty and Students At Beginning 30th Year at Sedalia Drawing of Color Line By Boston University Officials Seems Bound To Be Permanent; Cafe Draws Line Sedala, N.C.—Prominent Negro and white educators and friends of the school from as far west as Charlotte, and as far east as Henderson, thronged the campus of the Palmer Memorial Institute on Sunday afternoon, November 2, to attend he celebration exercises which marked the beginning of Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown's thirtieth year of service at Sedala. D.Southland, as sung by the famous Sedalia Singers, directed by Miss Amy P. Bailey, teacher of your culture, brought forth prolonged applause. Dr. A, M Rivera, trustee and a friend of the Institute for many years, presided over the exercises. In referring to Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown as one of the few Negro women with the pioneer spirit, the speaker placed Mrs. Brown in the class with the late Booker T. "Washington," Lucy C. Laney and Dwight J. Moody. He stated that Palmer Memorial Institute was the first organized rural high school in Guilford County, N. C. Mrs. Brown raised $250,000, the necessary amount of money to become a member of the American Missionary Association's system of schools, in less than one year. Dr. David D. Jones, president of Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, brought greetings to Mrs. Brown and the Institute, Dean McKinney represented J.C. Smith University, Charlotte. Other schools and colleges were A. and T. College, of Greensboro; Winston-Salem Teachers' College, Henderson Normal Institute, and the William Penn High School of High Point. Both the boys' and girls glee clubs, directed by Leon DeKalb, sang Spirituals and classical numbers. Mr. DeKalb presented the Sedalia Orchestra, twelve pieces, for the first time, this season. The Hallelujah Chorus, from Handel's "Messiah," was sung by the group on Sunday afternoon By Rienzi B. Lemus Boston, Mass—Boston University still draws the color line in the dormitory of its Sargent's School of Physical Education for Girls in Cambridge. As told in The New York Age of November 1, this segregation policy at Sargent's was adopted by the university authorities at the beginning of the fall term, and the colored students were mandatorily quartered in the home of an esteemed colored lady of Cambridge, where they still are. The first committee of colored persons to wait on the university officials in protest against this policy of segregation was made up of Secretary George Goodman of the Boston Urban League, Rev. Davis of Cambridge, and City Editor J. W. Youngblood of the Boston Chronicle. That Committee reported President Marsh of B. U. as sympathetic, hitherto ignorant of what caused the protest, as he referred the committeemen to dean of women's activities Franklin for a solution. Dean Franklin was quarred as denying any intent to be unfair, but assured that B. U.'s policy would bring approval from Dr. W. E., B. Dullons, editor of the Crisis. Pue Editors On Committee The race protest committee has been enlarged to include, among others, Editors Wim, Munroe Trotter of the Guardian and Alfred Haughton of the Chronicle, which somewhat shuts off any publicity about what has gone on in meeting of the new committee, and President Marsh of Boston University. Enough has drifted through, however, to state it as authoritative that President Marsh no longer needs to speak Sarson nor reconciled to the idea of equals that shall permit colored and white girls to live in the same dormitory, over there. Opinion here and hereabouts is that the university people incline to yield to public (Negro) opinion and adulthood segregation at Sargent's. A small scattered group believes that if segregation is wiped out there the R. U. chiefly will resort to the line of "least resistance" and, following the policy so successful at the College of Medicine, bar colored girls from Sargent's altogether by a process of elimination effected by refusing race girls admission to first year's classes. Chop Suey Cafe Sued Negro Boston, chiefly famed for Don Quixotic fighting of segregation that never previously existed, nor was attempted, has plenty of the thing to attract attention nowadays.

John Brice, vice principal, directed. Many congratulatory telegrams, telephone calls, and letters were received by Mrs. Brown. Miss Hilda A. Davis, registrar, presented Mrs. Brown with a beautiful bouquet of charity roses on behalf of the student-body, and faculty. Mrs. Brown, in accepting the token, stated that she felt that she should share the roses with some of her friends who for many years have stood by her side. 'Among the prominent visitors was Mrs. Charles Melver, one of the first white women of Greenbore to lend Mrs. Brown assistance when she began the work twenty-nine years. a splendid exhibit of fine arts, practical arts and agriculture was shown in the art room. were denied service at a Huntington Avenue "chop-suey-ry" because of fate, Mr Lane alleles, in a suit against the Chino management, quite recently. However, John W Schenck, Assistant U. S. Attorney here, was quoted as declaring that he and his colored guests always have been accorded excellent service, and that same establishment, by the same Chino managers and employees who are involved in Mr Lane's allegations of racial discrimination. Mr. Lane, however, retorted that the Chinos, ignorant of his own profession, knew Schenck to be ap attorney and therefore would not attempt to discriminate against a lawyer. An observer here noted for drawing fine distinctions sees in the Sargent's affair "discrimination against the race," and labels different treatment of the two colored lawyers in the same restaurant—"discrimination as between individuals desultate sameness of race." Y. W.—Y. M. C. A. College Workers in Conference Nashville, Tenn—A state Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. conference of junior and senior colleges of Tennessee had its annual meeting on the Fisk University campus recently. The conference was organized and presided over by Miss Sue Bailey of New York City, national Y. W. C. A. student secretary, and H. W. Pope of Atlanta, regional secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The principal speakers were Rev. Howard Thurman, minister of Morehouse and Spelman Colleges, Atlanta, and A. Philip Randolph of New York City, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Delegates were entertained by the Fisk associations from Lane College, Morristown College, Knoxville College, LeMoyne Junior College and Tennessee A. & L. State College Miss Pearl W. Sanders, president of the Fisk Y W. C. A. and Randall J. Tyus, president of the Y M. C. A were hosts to the conference. The outstanding sessions of the conference were held Saturday night, when Mr. Randolph spoke, and Sunday might when Mr. Randolph conducted an open forum Mr. Thurman spoke at the regular church served Sunday morning and at the regular student assembly Monday morning. All of these addresses were brilliant and inspiring: Mr. Randolph spoke to a large crowd of not only Fisk students and faculty, but scores of Vanderbilt, Searatti and Mehary student and people of Nashville [his sub-unit] and the world. "Tomorrow," he made a brief analysis of the position of labor in the world today. THE LIGHTHOUSE The Pioneer Oil and Gas Company's Graves No. 1 gas well, located east of the city in Rankin county, is shown here as it blew in Tuesday, November 18, making an estimated 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas. It is the twenty-sixth natural gas producer in the Jackson field and sent the total open flow capacity of the field near the 800,000,000 cubic foot-mark. Negro-Owned Oil Company Brings In Million Dollar Gas Spouter on Its Land Near Jackson, in Mississippi Jackson, Miss-Graves No. 16 well of the Pioneer Oil and Gas Company blew in a few days ago about a mile cast of Jackson, making an estimated flow of from 50,000,000 to 60,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas daily, and is one of the big wells of the country. It is said by some that the value of the well is a million dollars. The Pioneer Company is about to close a deal for the sale of its gas to one of the big pipeline companies. The natural gas business is the most active big business in this country today. This is the first time in American history that a well of this kind has been brought in by a company wholly owned by Negroes. The company was organized less than three months ago and its success has been nothing short of phenomenal. It owns not only this well, but it is said to own quite a number of valuable leases in proven territory, on one of which, only about 500 feet from the present well, the company is planning to-begin another well soon.

VIOLIN FOUND IN ATTIC MAY PROVE TO BE A "STRAD" Buffalo, N. Y.—Following discovery of what is believed to be a genuine Stradivarius, violin in the possession of Mrs. Ada Surtees, an employee of the Goodwill Industries of Buffalo, another reputed Strad has come to light. This one is the property of a young Negro. Eugene Lewis, of 32 Lyth avenue. The instrument had been lying dust-covered and abandoned in an attic for years when it was rescued from the trash heap by the boy's aunt. Eugene's mother tells the story. Her sister was helping a friend to move. Moving always entails the discarding of rubbish and long-forgotten trumpery. They had practically finished the packing and had got as far as the attic when a dirty, stringless, uninteresting looking violin showed up among the rest of the discard. Eugene, then a child of nine or ten, had been taking some music lessons and his family planned to buy him a good violin sooner, or later. The one he was using for practice was good enough for the time being. In fact, it was too good for him to carry about and use it. The one he was using for practice was good enough for the time being. In fact, it was too good for him to carry about and use it. So Eugene's aunt, second the old instrument about to go to the ash heap, salvaged it with the remark that it would do for the child to practice on! Offered $75' for Violin The varnish was crusted, and the violin was dirty. It wanted a bit of re retrubishing, and certainly must have strings. So Eugene's mother took it to a violin repair man, here and was astonished when the repair shop keeper offered her $75 for the instrument. With her heart in her mouth, as she tells it, she refused the offer feeling sure the violin must be valuable. The outside of the violin was now quite clean, but the inside, she discovered, had been neglected in the process of reclaiming the old instrument. With housewife's dislike of dirt, Mrs Lewis undertook to clean it for herself. Something small and botheredome rattled in the dark depts of the instrument, and so with a bit of a rag and a slender brush she poked about, and lifted and shook the violin. A beam of light caught on a bit of a label, pasted inside. Bradhurst 1048 City and Suburban Property Co-operative Apartments S. J.

Attempted Burglary Holds 3 to Grand Jury Alexander Penn, 19, of 49 West 135th street; Arthur Washington, 20, 10 West 135th street, and John Wright, 19, of 2515 Eighth avenue, were arraigned in Washington Heights Court Monday on a complaint of the Washington Button Company, located at 2506 Eighth avenue, charged with burglary. The trio was arrested by Patrolman Sherman on Saturday night, at the Eighth avenue address. He testified in court that he received a call that three unknown men were prowling around in the basement of 2560 Eighth avenue. He further stated that he went to the address and entered through the basement of the next house. When he reached the basement Wright and Penn were standing in the basement. He looked up the air shaft and saw Washington coming through a window leading into the shaft. Then the boys were questioned by the patrolman, they) said that they were in a pool room when someone came in and said that that the house had caught fire from the basement, and that they were there looking, for the fire. Upon further questions from the officer, Washington admitted that he was trying to burglarize the store of the Manhattan Button Company in order to get enough money to get his suit out of the pavilion ship to wear on Thanksgiving Day. Each of the three boys were held in $1,000 bail to await the action of the grand jury.
