Hampton Institute, Va.—An event of great significance for both the Negro and white races took place Friday morning, November 21, when the Greenbriar school, between Hampton and Newport News, Va., was dedicated. This school is the 500th to whose construction Julius Rosewald, the Chicago merchant and philanthropist, has contributed. On a platform constructed on one side of the school were seated the speakers and many other distinguished guests. Before the platform were grouped the children of the Greenbriar and union schools, and several hundred parents and friends. The chairman of the meeting was Robert M. Newton, superintendent of schools for Elizabeth City County.
After the invocation had been pronounced by the Rev. S. Arthur Desen, the chaplain of Hampton Institute, S. L. Smith director for Southern schools of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, presented the key of the Greenbriar school to Mr. Newton, Mr. Smith pointed out that the $5,000 "Rosenwald Schools" situated in more than 830 counties of the South cared for more than 6000 Negro boys and girls. In responding to Mr. Smith's preamble, Mr. Newton emphasized the great help which has been given to the family by the patrons and friends of the school of the Rosenwald Fund, specially by Hampton Institute, which he said, had always given inspiration and encouragement and sympathetic help.
He reminded the audience of the agreement with the Institute by whom, beginning with 1931, all New York pupils in the county will receive their high school instruction in a master's deals of complete living not building on the Hamilton Institute campus. He paid tribute to Mr. Brennwald, who, he said, has made deals of complete living in a rural folk of the South by Lebanon hospitals; museums, and schools. After the pupils of Greenbriar and had sung the spiritual "No Man Looks Like Hum," Harris He made superintendent of Public Instruction offered the thanks of the Board of Education to Mr.

It is not stated as to whether or not she is with the minister, although there were reports of an alleged intimacy between them while they were in New York. Following his separation from Ma. Bushell, the minister was asked to resign from the church pastorate, it is reported. He had been married before and divorced, the first wife living now in Oakland, Calif., and said to be still using the name of Rev. Bushell.
The second Mrs. Bushell is now residing at 107-109 West 135th street, is a member of Abyssinian Baptist Church and choir, and engages in gospel singing, in various churches.
Rosenwald for what he had done all over Virginia. Because of his philanthropy he has made it possible for many rural communities to work in cooperation with the State board in the erection of a new school.
John R. Saunders, the Attorney General of Virginia, emphasized the importance of education in training good citizens and pointed out that Virginia is going to be a better place because the colored people are taking interest in the education of their children. He then introduced Edwin R. Embree, the president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, who came as the personal representative of Mr. Rosenwald, Mr. Embree conveyed Mr. Rosenwald's regrets that the latter could not be present because of illness. He stressed the necessity for cooperation of both races in the South. He said that these schools could not be called "Rosenwald Schools" but Southern public schools, for of the $25,000,000 given so far for the erection of the schools, Mr. Rosenwald has contributed $4,000,000, the Negroes of the South themselves have contributed. $4,500,000, more than $1,000,000 was contributed by white friends and more than $14,000,000 was appropriated out of tax money. Mr. Embree then commented on the advance of education in the South and called attention to the increased number of Negro children in high schools, normal schools and colleges. He said that the days of low standards in Negro schools and colleges have gone.
Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, education director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, briefly pointed out the two great needs of today: First, the educational and economic development of rural peoples of the world; and, second, cooperation and good will between races. Dr. W. T. B. Williams, field director of the Jeanes and Slater Funds, called the attention of his audience to the debt Negro education owed to Dr. Frisell, who twenty-eight years ago began the cooperation which brought about this wonderful work to which Mr. Rosenwald has so generously contributed. He emphasized the great help given by the Jeanes teachers to Negro education.

Policy King Put On Spot In Jamaica
By J. T. 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.

GRATITUDE
I'm thankful for the love
My dear ones give each day,
And for blue skies above
Where rainbow fairies play.
I'm thankful for the spring
With its busy little bees,
And for the birds that sing
In the tall pine trees.
I'm thankful for the summer,
And the harvest of the fall,
I'm thankful for each flower,
To God who made them all.

Joseph J. Boris Charges That An Employee, Frank Gans, Was Solely Responsible For Radio Troubles Harlem Broadcasting Corp. Head Says Man, Hired on Recommendation, Had Own Office and Staff, and Disobeyed Instructions
Frank Gans, 20, arrested several weeks ago on forgery in connection with his activities as a salesman for the Harlem Broadcasting Cors poration, a company* formed last January by Joseph J. Boris, was arraigned on November 22' before Magistrate George W. Simpson in the Tombs Court and held in $4,000 bail on charges of grand larceny and forgery.
Mr. Boris is also under bail on a charge of "utterance of forgery." The charge is based on complaints made by advertisers on the air, who say that Gans had sold them contracts for broadcasting their advertising over certain stations, particularly WRNY, posing as the well known radio announcers, Frank Knight and, Ted Husing, and also offering time over WABC. A failure to carry out some of these contracts led to complaints being filed by disappointed advertisers.
Mr. Boris, when seen by The Age, stated that he is innocent of any complicity in the doings of Gans, and that the latters arrest was brought about by Mr. Boris himself, who produced and delivered Gans to the police after the charges had been filed. In the hearing on Saturday before Magistrate Simpson it was charged that Gans was wanted in Chicago on similar charges.
Did Not Know Gans
In a typewritten statement, Mr. Boris recites the history of the Hartem Broadcasting Corporation, which was organized with all Negro stockholders. As president, Boris has been the active manager up to the present time. He states that in September past, the salesmanager employed by the company recommended the employment of C. Jones, then in
On the recommendation given: Gans was employed and came on from Chicago early in September. He was furnished an office, and had his own salesmen, and office staff of girls.

proposition and made the suggestion that another name be used, suggesting "Voice of New York," which was as accepted and registered in the County Clerk's office. But all checks and contracts were delivered to Mr. Boris, who made all deposits and paid out commission and expenses. But complaints began coming in Mr. Boris declares that he found Gans was signing the name of "Frank Knight" to contracts contrary to instructions.
Boris Was Arrested
It was a complaint from one of the dissatisfied advertisers filed with Better Business Bureau that led to a representative from that organization, accompanied by the president of WRNY station, visited the Harlem studio and suggested that an investigation be made. Mr. Boris declares that he offered his cooperation. Continuing, he said: "Soon thereafter on a technical complaint, known as 'utterance of forgery', Mr. Boris was served with a magistrate's warrant and immediately, released on $1,000 bail. This cause of action was simply made to cause a record of the activities. A week later, Mr. Boris produced and delivered Frank Gans, to the police, being one of three persons to sign the complaint. "Later it was discovered that Gans and his associates had been indicted in Chicago for similar activities and Gans was a fugitive from justice. The indictment took place on October 8, while he was employed at the Harlem studio.
"During the last few weeks Mr. Boris has called three meetings of the advertisers and persons interested in the proposition, and every effort is being made to cooperate with the advertisers, the officials and the Better Business Bureau."
The assertion is also made that in an effort to please and satisfy the customers, Mr. Boris purchased as high as seventeen hours weekly from WRNY in order to keep the advertisers in the air. Said he "The studio was in operation every day and four nights weekly. Its programs were listed in all the metropolitan newspapers and its programs were actually broadcast in accordance with these listings.
States That He Alonzo Parham Military Academy and it is believed that he will be able to meet all the requirements. Congressman DePriest states that he will also name another hoy for West Point, and three for Annapolis, and that he has set up a special board in Chicago for examination of all applicants.

But as Weidig attempted to arrest the two bandits in the store, Seaton rushed in and grabbed the officer's pistol hand by the wrist. The policeman fired four times, but Seaton's powerful grasps prevented any aim and the shots went wild. Then Seaton according to the

The Academy's basketball team is becoming very popular with the students, and Messrs. Licorish and Stenbar, the team's coaches, are pleased with the interest and enthusiasm the girls are showing in the game. Already they are planning to play two outside teams during the month of December.
Miss Constance 'Morrissey, the Academy contest in the Tattler's Popularity Contest, is working very hard to obtain a winning place on the list. Last week the students gave a party to help with the contest, and also contributed various sums toward the fund for the contest. We are also pleased to see our graduate of June, 1930, Miss Ruth Baylor, leading in this contest this week. The Academy will close during Thanksgiving and Friday, November 28, to give the students a rest and chance to observe Thanksgiving.

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. T. MacPherson, information secretary, and Miss Gertrude Sheridan, field worker.

THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 29 Astrologically Considered
By "THEARCHER"
A
PORO For HAIR and SKIN
March and April in 1931, June 1931, and December, 1931, will be months in which those who, have birthdates in the group below should try to be very careful of the health, finances, and to avoid trouble; as difficulties with the law will be hard to adjust to advantage. The diet should be carefully studied, and plenty of of rest and sleep will do much to bring these people through these periods with the health of those who, or less of these same vibrations but the months already outlined have the strongest vibrations that require care.
Mercury, the planet that rules the mind, writings and speech, is in a very good position for those who begin another birthyear on November 29, and those who try to plan ahead will certainly find the year worth while. Financial affairs will require careful judgment. Those who can think and plan well should find this a very good birthyear.
November 30 begins a birthyear that will bring about some changes in regards to the employment or vocation for nearly every one, and yet these changes can be made really worth while through careful judgment. New plans and new enterprises will not turn out and those who start to work has already been started will do well. Those who deal with crowds and strangers should be tactful and patient in the actions to avoid arousing antagonism and criticism. The year can be worth while.
Financial matters will require very careful judgment by those who begin another birthyear on December 1, and those who like to take their troubles to court will not find it worth while. Family affairs will require patience and tact. Those who can think and plan well will find the year very good. Old friendships will turn out better than new friendships, and those who are single should remain so. The first paragraph will have particular meaning for those of today.
December 2 begins a birthyear that will hold changes in the family affairs and in financial matters for those of today. The help of worth while friends will come in the time of greatest need to those who have faith and patience. New plans and new enterprises will not turn out so well, but those who study and plan for the future will be able to take the opportunity that will come up. A year for careful judgment.
Those who begin another birthday on December 3 will find the best period of the year between December 3 and December 20, 1930, and those who try to get ahead now will not regret the effort expended. Patience and tact will be needed, as the tendency to quarrels or to a short and abrupt way of speaking will cause unhappiness and loss of friends. The health will need care. Those who work around machinery or should avoid accidents. The women should avoid vibrations and should be the best vibrations and should be used to get ahead and to bring happiness to those around them and to those who are in need. Those who are single should remain single.
December 4 begins a birthyear that will require care and patience in every way, and especially in the domestic circle. The tendency to try new things and ideas should be very carefully considered if unhappiness is to be avoided. No money should be loaned or borrowed, and cash should be paid for all purchases, as time pay will not turn out well. The friends should be worth while and doubtful friends should not be held. Those who begin another birthyear on December 5 will meet changes in the employment that will turn to advantage if carefully considered. A great many worth while opportunities will come to those who deserve them and can

take advantage of them. Financial matters can be very worth while.
The readers who would like to know how to get ahead and to understand the planetary influences that are now affecting them, should send the full name, the birthday, month, year, hour and place with a stamped and self-addressed envelope and ten cents in stamps to Theacher in care of The New York Age. 290 West 135th street, New York City.

Mass Meeting for White Rose Home

& ALTE CENTER FOR HARLEM.
“lig. widespread interest manifested in
~T qpening of a new health center’ in
silem was both éncouraging and. sig-
uucant, The fact that the exercises at+
ending the opening were: participated in
sy many. city officials, including »Mayor
Walke¥and’ Health Commissioner Wynne,
1s well as some-five hundred pupils from
tight of the city schools, attested the ims
Sortance attached to this new institution
sy all elements of the community. The
fact that. this is, the first health ‘center
so-be established in New York City was
smphasized by Commissioner Wynne,
who ‘explained. its. purpose as being to
aelp prevent the spread of disease by get-
ting héalth Service to the people.
Under the epresent health administra-
tion the infant death fate has been ‘re-
dued materially. from the rate of fifty
w.each thousand to & probable eleven
per thousand for the current year, The
death rate from diptheria, he said, is only
one-third of its former figure and he éx-
pressed thevhope that this dreadéd infan-
tile disease may soon be eradicated.
Mayor Walker's presentation of the
center tothe citizens of Harlem was
marked by an’expression of the hope, that
it would serve to protect the health and
fife of his fellow citizens of that section,
Who will také@ivantage of the facilities
afforded by Ava community was well

‘race. but a3*American citizens and resi-
dents of the City of New York. Harlem
fas chosen as the location for the first
health center. not only because its need
was greatest, according to Dr. Wynne
‘but as the Mayor stated because it was
a ‘section that lay close*to his heart, “be-
ing one of his favorite: communities. the
genter of culture. a region of melody
paetry, arts and music.
The opening of this Health Center in
the Harlem district will afford. a great
opportunity for the practicing physician:
of that section to cooperate with Com.
thissioner Wynhe in fighting the spreac
of disease furthering the adoption of pre.
véntive methods. Opportunities will not
be lacking..to increase their prackice
through legitimate means: as the work o}
the health center will tend to imbue the
people generally with a greater respect
for professional treatment of incipient
complaints and less dependence pon
homely remedies and patent medicines.
Thetreatment and cure of diseases by com.
“petent physicians will acquire greater im:
sPortance, as well as the observance of pre:
ventive methods for the spread of preva:
lent diseases.
No feelings of. professional jealousy ot
sivalry of organized bodies should be al:
lowed to interfere with the fullest meas.

fort on the part of the Health Departmen
.to-fight disease.in its incipient stages. The
‘withholding of Pralgssinal support: from

a betrayal of the community in its wat
against disease. The object nf such an
_tffort, on the part of the city autKorities

HAITI'S NEW PRESIDENT.
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

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

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:

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

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

doubtedly have a good effect and lead to a

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.

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

those pledges were: A secret committee

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.

Much ado is’ being made through-

The discharging of one man tc

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.

But in rejoicing at the downfall
of Heflin broadcast in screaming
headlines all over America, we
should. hasten te say’ that it is doubt-
ful whether it would make “it better
for Negroes in’ Alabama or else:
where, “His overthrow: did-not have

The enterprise was obviously

“The display of the’C. M. A.

cinating, as it brings so many recol-
lections' of our former activities
while in the Pullman service.
At the outset, we beg to be excus-
ef for obtruding ourselves in a sub-
ject that belongs exclusively to those
‘porters whe are actually delving in
the subject matter, and hoping our
former connection with the com-
pany will” serve as 2 libeety of dis-
cussing the issue with you, we will
briefly state some of. aur past ex-
periences in the different classes of
cars that were largely patronited by
the travelling public more than “a
quarter of a century ago.

new recruits as porters, were “brok-

was not inexorable, As the buffet

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC
Packer. 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.
This is not intended as a critical analysis of the young man's ability as a bit of friendly advice to an ambitious student whose evident talent is of such quality as will warrant faithful and earnest study and work for its future development. The program, rather taxing to to young a singer, included "Caro mit ben," Gordiani; "Sont tuto duolie; Scarlati; "Danza, danza, fancuilia gentile," Durante; "Ich lieh dich," Grieg; "Was ist Sylvia"; Schubert, "Murmeldes lutchen," Jensem "Elegic," Massenet, "Ninon," Tostt; "Tandis que toutommelle" from "Lamant Jaloux," Gretry, "Fassing by," Purcell; "Sylvia," Speaks, "The moon behind the cotton-wood," Cadman; "It was a lover and his jass," Quilter; and "moses of Spirituals," "Go down, Moses," Burleigh; "I'm so glad," Dett, and "Swing low, sweet charcot." Duton
Assisting were two piano pumels of Mr. Diton, Alicia Guishad and Owen Telfair, Fergil, Guishard played "Drifting" by Fermil, while Mr. Telfair's number was the "Sibelus 'Romance.'" Mr. Diton was at the piano for his young singer.

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.

"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.
That we might have an idea of just how far our new project has proved a benefit, we are asking for letters from all of the women who think the column should be continued. The most interesting letter will be published and prizes will be given for the best three. All letters must be in the office by Saturday, July 5. Address all correspondence

Beautiful Finger Nails
Well kept, finger nails show good judgment. Finger nails should look like many pink pearls. Then they are pretty.
In Paris, last summer, "they" were wearing green, purple and blue finger nails polish. "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. Nail paste and powders only heighten the natural pink and produce a shell-like glow.
Many women still prefer it to the enamel, which wears off in patches, which must be removed with more enamel, since soap and have no effect upon upon Whether we need the heat preparations make the nails dry we do not know, it is doubtful about their having any ill effects.
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. Long nails on long, slender fingers require only a long modified point; if the nails are too long and too narrow they look like talons. Who doesn't go squeamish at the sight of extended claws affected by some of the arty young ladies.

POET'S CORNER
Thankfulness and Praise
Alexander R. Reinagle, 1836.
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.

MY PHILOSOPHY
RUTH R. 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.

Still, she added "there is no possibility of political equality before social and economic equality."

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. L., to be used as their novitiate. The house answered the needs of the sisters very nicely, but there was no heating plant.
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. We want everyone to travel in comfort so must ask that you make reservations now, in order that we may arrange with the bus company. Telephone Harlem 6098 or write Mother M. Thredore, 8 East 131st street, N. Y. C. - Do it now or you may be disappointed on December 7.

C. A. and Y. W. C. A. of North America, to study the work among Bantu students and who was studying mission work of American Boards, made joint by a grant from the Juthi Rossetti Fund was tendered a dinner attendance for 20 whites and Negro citizens at the Woodstock Hotel on Friday evening, November 21.
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. Glenn, general director, Russell Sage *Foundation; Miss Mary White Oyngton, chairman of the Board, and Mr and Mrs Arthur Spongam of the X. A. A.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES
AS ONE PORTER SEES IT
The present business depression is so general that there is little else to be heard these days. 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

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.

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. A leading young attorney John E. Lane, and a young lady

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.

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.

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.
