Knifed To Death About Few Cents RECENT DISCLOSURES OF 'STOOL PIGEON' ACTIVITIES IN 'FRAMING' OF INNOCENT WOMEN BY N. Y. POLICE RECALLS THE DANCY EXPOSE MADE BY THE AGE IN 1924 THE RECENT DISCLOSURES OF A VICIOUS, SINISTER SYSTEM OF "FRAMING" INNOCENT WOMEN AND GIRLS AND RAILROADING THEM TO PRISON BY SOME MEMBERS OF THE POLICE FORCE, THROUGH THE USE OF "STOOL PIGEONS," AS REVEALED BY THE CONFESSIONS MADE BY CHILE ACUNA AND OTHERS TO THE APPELLATE COURT INVESTIGATORS UNDER JUDGE SAMUEL SEABURY AS REFEREE, AND ISIDOR J. KRESEL AS SPECIAL COUNSEL, RECALLS THE EXPOSE MADE BY THE NEW YORK AGE IN THE SUMMER AND FALL OF 1924, WHEN HARLEM WOMEN AND GIRLS WERE SUBJECTED TO THE SAME VILE PROSECUTION THROUGH THE ACTIVITIES OF THE NOTORIOUS CHARLES DANCY, AT THAT TIME OF 119 WEST 137th STREET. IN THE AGE ISSUED JULY 5, THAT YEAR, IT WAS DISCLOSED THAT DANCY, POSING AS A SALESMAN OF SILK WEARABLES OR AS AN EMPLOYMENT AGENT, LURED UNSUSPECTING WOMEN AND GIRLS INTO COMPROMISING SITUATIONS, AFTER WHICH HIS POLICE EMPLOYERS WOULD PROMPTLY APPEAR AND PUT THE WO- The records showed that many innocent women were made to suffer as a result of Dancy's activities, the women, in most cases, being inexperienced and ignorant of means by which to secure protection. Associated with Dancy were other vicious characters, all in police pay, two of them being a George Henderson and Benny Jackson, an ex-soldier, both of whom gave the same address as Dancy. The first expose was brought about through Dancy's attempt at framing a respectable married woman, whose husband was in the employ of a prominent white minister, whose efforts combined with those of other prominent men, including Editor Fred R. Moore of The Age, convinced the court that Dancy's charges were false. Following this first exposure of "stool pigeon" methods on July 5, there came almost immediately information concerning other cases. You done young nled by Dancy to believe that he had some fine silk aisis to be bought at a bargain, followed him into a vestibule at 2003 The young woman indignantly repulsed his advances, but his confederate came in and arrested the woman, picking up the money to be used as evidence against her. The Age Saved Woman Through the efforts of The Age and others the young woman was exonerated in court, but not until the had been subjected to the ignominy of having to submit to a blood test. It was also brought out about this time that Dancy had approached a well known welfare worker with a proposal that a pseudo tea room, but really a demi monde resort, would be a highly profitable engagement. The proposal was, of course, effectively rejected. The editor of The Age laid the matter before former Police Commissioner Richard E. Enright in a formal statement whited all the evidence which had come to this paper as a result of the vigorous expose which it had made; High police officials expressed absolute disapproval of "stool pigeon" methods. Inspector McDonald, at that time commanding the Third President, and his successor Inspector Thomas M. Ryan, were reported as having issued strict orders to police and deterces against the use of Danne. Inspector Belton, commanding the Special Service Squad, arrested units complaints from citizens about Danne's activities. Officials Aided The Age. In some of the cases which came to The Age, splendid cooperation and assistance was rendered by Attorney Samuel Marcus, counsel, and George T. Hammond, investigator, of the Society for the Prevention of Crime Mr. Hammond is a retired police officer. Finally, after many months, Dancy was caught in the tools of the law. One of his virtues, who was robbed and the subject of an attempted assault in a hallway, into which Dancy followed her, brought about his arrest. He was later indicted on four counts; robbery in second degree; grand harceny in first degree; assault in second degree, and criminally receiving in second degree. He was eventually sentenced to a term in the Workhouse on Welfare Island, since which time he seems to have disappeared from his former Harlem haunts. Incidentally, it was brought out that Dancy, in his "stool pigeon" work had won, for himself the so-briquet of "The Paper Dropper," from his habit of leaving a trail of confetti to be followed by his police associates. White Woman Told By Judge to Shun Negroes Two white women and a colored man were arraigned in Washington Heights Court on Monday, charged with disorderly conduct. They gave their names as Sylvia Howard, of 806 Lenox Road Brooklyn; Edna McNair, 500 West 14th street, both white; and Ted Ranson, a dancer. The trio took part in a speakeasy Monday morning about two hours before they were arraigned in court, where they camet all dressed up in evening wear. Ted Ranson testified that they were in a speakeasy at 2259 Seventh avenue. He said that a colored man asked one of the girls to dance with him, and when she refused, the man became abusive. He, Ransom, tried to defend the girls, and as at result he was knocked down and kicked by others who took part in the merry scramble. A police officer who was called NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY DECEMBER 6, 1930 to the place put Ransom and the two girls out on the sidewalk and told them to keep moving. Instead of doing as the officer demanded, Ransom tried to insist on having 'the man arrested who had started the brawl. This caused a large crowd of people to collect on the sidewalk and Ransom and the two girls were arrested. Before-giving them a suspended sentence, Judge Burke gave them a leftright, but instead of telling them to stay away from speakeasies, whether they be white or colored, he said to Sylvia, "I believe that you are a nice girl, but you are running with the wrong people. You should associate with your own race, and keep away from colored people." He made similar remarks to the other girl, Sylvia collapsed in court. They were all given suspended sentences. "Peeping Tom" Held On Complaint of 137th St. Y Timothy Gill, of 164 St. Nicholas avenue, was arraigned in Washington Heights Court on Monday for disorderly conduct, on complaint of McNeal Keith, an employee of the Y. W. C. A. Gill was arrested by police officers on the roof of an apartment house at 175 West 137th street, where he was peeping through a window of the Emma Ransom House of the Y W. C. A., which is next to the building where he was arrested. The man pleaded guilty to the charge. He was finger printed and placed in the custody of probation officers, who will make further investigations. Burned to Death As Fire Sweeps Asylum Jackson, Miss.—1200 inmates of the State Hospital for Insane were endangered Thursday, November 27, when fire swept the colored ward of the institution. A Negro youth, Coleman Lewis, 17, was burned to death. About 30 inmates escaped during the excitement but officers and guards who began a roundup succeeded in recapturing the escaped men. The power of the gospel was fully demonstrated" at Abyssinian Baptist Church, on Sunday morning when men and women pinched off as much as possible of their meager income in order to help their less fortunate neighbor, after Rev. A, Clayton Powell, pastor of the church preached from the subject "The Hungry of God." He said: "You and I can add to God's power on this earth. We clothe God by clothing men and women. Jesus interpreted this as meaning to clothe men and women when they are naked. When you give men and women coats, shoes and dresses, you are giving clothes to God. If the Bible does not mean this, it does not mean anything. Last week we gave out about five hundred pieces of wearing apparel from the Community House of this church." He spoke at length on the ingratitude of church members who are not thankful for food and clothing. He gave as a comparison the lepers who were healed by Jesus and did not return to give Him thanks. There is not one of us, he said, even in this time of unemployment, who has not more reasons for gratitude than grumbling. We can praise God if we are without a nickel. We can praise God for having something to cat and clothes to wear. "Men need sympathy," said Dr. Powell, "but just as men cannot live on bread alone, they cannot live on sympathy alone. Jesus gave as much time to feeding the stomachs of men as He did to feeding their souls." Those who have not been aroused by the unemployment situation, and have been skeptical as to its graveness, were shocked when Dr. Powell said that he was ashamed to drive up to the church, door in a Packard car; even though the members did give it to him, while he is in the midst of thousands of women and children in the hungry. He did that over three hundred men and women filed their applications last week for work in the church and Community House, and only forty were supplied with work. The climax was reached; people in the congregation moved in their seats as if trying to arouse themselves from what seemed to be a dream, when Dr Powell/exclaimed "Men and women need something more than sympathy and prayers now. They need food. I will give $1,000 of my salary during the next three months to help relieve this terrible unemployment situation. I wait the money to be used for a kitchen in the Community House, where the hungry can be supplied with food." Before the words had fallen from his lips, comparatively speaking, a woman in the rear of the church pushed through the crowd and emptied the contents of her purse on the table. Dr. Powell, who is a believer in order, thanked the woman for her contribution, but asked the people not to put money on the table until the plans were more thoroughly organized. A. Clayton Powell jr., who has worked night and day with committees that have tried to bring about some solution to his most recent problem, gave $10.

The church choir gave $17. The congregation, also contributed liberally to the cause sponsored by the pastor. THE COMMUNITY HOUSE When a representative of The New York Age dropped in at the Abyssinian Community House, Monday morning all of the workers at the Relief Bureau were busy getting things in working order for the new organization. Hundreds of pairs of shoes were being sorted for a shoemaker who is employed to mend and polish shoes before they are given out to the needy. Plans had also been made to employ a dressmaker, and laudress who will put dresses and other wearing apparel -in order. Suits will be cleaned and pressed if necessary. In fact, clothing which will be given out will certainly not be classed as rubbish. The gymnasium will be arranged for sleeping quarters for unemployed-men. In the mean time they will be fed from the kitchen which is being equipped to meet any emergency. *More than $2,000 including the $1,000 pledged by Dr. Powell, has been collected in cash and pledges. Money is still coming in from members and friends of the church. Last week the Relief Bureau paid out more than $700 to men and women who were employed in the church and Community House. A Clayton Powell, jr., is chairman, and R. Vincent Ottley is secretary. ADVERTISE YOUR FURNISHED ROOMS Stabbed to Death In Argument Over Money Stabbed to Death In Argument Over Money An argument over a few cents on Thanksgiving night resulted in the death of one man and the arrest of another man the next day charged with murder. According to police, at 8:40 p.m., Thursday night, November 27, Walter Johnson of 221 West 141st street and Frank Bennett of 228 West 142nd street engaged in an altercation at the latter's home. As an outcome of the argument, Johnson, who is said to have been an old ball player, was stabbed in the left shoulder and abdomen. Police say that Bennett who is charged with stabbing Johnson, made good his escape. An ambulance from Harlem Hospital arrived at the scene with Dr. Horowitz who pronounced the man dead. Immediately Detectives Boyden and Robinson of the West 136th street police station started a search for Bennett. Bennett gave himself up to police on Friday morning, November 28, at the West 136th street police station and was placed under arrest. $150,000 in Xmas Savings Funds Paid Out In Harlem More than $100,000 in Christmas savings club accounts are being paid out to colored residents of Harlem this week, according to reports from the various banks in this vicinity.

THANKSGIVING DINNERS GIVEN HARLEM NEEDY FAMILIES MARK HIGH TIDE OF PHILANTHROPY 1,100 Families Have Food Through 32nd Precinct Police, as Other Agencies Serve Dinners Direct To Hundreds of Unemployed Never before in Harlem's history were so many concerted and well-arranged efforts made to relieve the distress and needs of the poor families in this community as are being made this winter. Schools, churches, welfare agencies, the Police Department and individuals are providing food, clothing, shoes and money to care for the needy poor. Particularly effective were the plans which provided for the supplying the poor families with Thanksgiving dinners. Baskets filled with substantial aid varied foodstuffs were distributed to hundreds of families on Thanksgiving Day eve by the police, the Salvation Army, Public School 119, and other groups, and in addition thousands were fed on Thanksgiving Day at different places in the community. nips, coffee, cocoa, evaporated milk, Karo syrup, rice, oat meal, sugar, corn, pork and beans, tomatoes and bread. Forty families of pupils were supplied a Thanksgiving dinner basket and these were amply filled. Each basket contained two and one-half pounds of beef; 3 of potatoes; 2 of onions; 3 of turnips or carrots or a cabbage; 3 of oatmeal; 1 can Public School 319 Perhaps the work that is being done at P. S. -119, Miss Anq. E. Lawson, principal, in providing food, clothing and shoes for poor children in attendance there, and in supplying temporary assistance in the homes of pupils, is one of the most unique. This work is made possible by voluntary contributions from members of the teaching staff who donate from their personal salaries the money with which food is purchased for the families of needy pupils. In some exceptional cases small sums of money are given direct. The limited fund prevents general money relief. Clothing aid shoes are secured in various ways. Pupils from homes where there is a degree of prosperity bring apparel which they have outgrown, much of which is in splendid condition. The Endicott Johnson Corporation has aided effectively by the donation of many pairs of new, well-made shoes; and these are carefully distributed among those pupils in greatest need. This work is in direct charge of Mrs. Elizabeth von Messe, assistant principal, who personally handles the benefit fund, making all necessary purchases, and supervising the work of distribution of food and clothes. All cases are investigated by some teacher or school official, but when information is received as to a needy family, the relief is sent first, in the form of a basket of food, the investigation being made afterwards. Find Work For Needy According to Mrs. 'von Meske out of 47 families given aid since October 15, only two have proved to be unwell. During this period 19 families have been aided once, 13 have been helped twice; 7 three times; 4 four times; and 4 have been aided five or more times. Our effort is always made to help the family become self supporting by funding work for its members, and when this cannot be done, arrangements for permanent assistance are made through welfare organizations' of the city. The standard basket of food which is supplied to needy families contain a supply calculated to last the average family a week. It contains beef or shoulder, potatoes, onions, tur Fall River Man Feeds Hungry In California Sacramento, Calif.-Memories of a Thanksgiving, Day passed in a Sacramento (twenty years ago, when he was hungry, cold and without a dime in his pocket, caused Charles Bowman, a Negro, of Fall River, Mass., to play absentee host, to 1,500 unemployed men today.

Sacramento, oldtimers remember that Bowman worked in West End saloons and prepared free lunch. Last week he operated a barber shop, obtaining enough money to acquire a tavern on the Riverside Road. He subsequently transferred his business to the East. nips, coffee, cocoa, evaporated milk, Karo syrup, rice, oat meal, sugar, corn, pork and beans, tomatoes and bread. Forty families of pupils were supplied a Thanksgiving dinner basket and these were amply filled. Each basket contained two and one-half pounds of beef; 3 of potatoes; 2 of onions; 3 of turnips or carrots or a cabbage; 3 of oatmeal; 1 can molasses; 2 loaves of bread, or 1 bread and 1 box crackers; 1 pound of spaghetti; 1 of coffee; 2 cans of corn; 2 of baked beans; 2 pounds of cocoa; 2 cans of tomatoes or corn or a vegetable; 2 cans of soup; 3 apples or oranges; 3 can of evaporated milk. Temporary help will be continued through the winter from the funds contributed each month by the teachers. Police Distribute Food Following up its supply of food to 800 families on November 17, the police officers attached to, Precinct 32, West 130th street station, furnished 4,100 families with baskets on November 26, Thanksgiving Day eve. The distribution was made in the gymnasium of the Harret Beecher Stowe Junior High School, 130th street and Edge combe avenue, by officers under command of Captain Frank Brady.

The group of officers who labored unremittingly and cheerfully through out the day; hard day, included Captain Brady, Patrolman James McMahon, Thomas Brisbane, Nelson Hellstrom, George Brown Fred Mantle, Edward Jackson, Alfred Hahn, Jasper, Rhodes and Martin McNulty. On Friday following Thanksgiving, these officers distributed 200 pounds of fish of all varieties, with some clams, part of 2000 pounds contributed by fish dealers in Fulton Street Market, led by L. Oppenheim Co. Captain Brady and his men pay a particular tribute to Walter P. Shaw, custodian of the school, for the splendid cooperation he gave them in rendering this service. Not only did he cheerfully remain until the distribution was ended on Wednesday night, but he came back Friday morning, a holiday, and opened up the school for the handling out of the bags of fish. The officers feel grateful to him. Captain Brady announces that the regular weekly distribution of food to the needy (families of Harleen will be made on Friday, December 5. in the gymnasium of Junior - High School 136, 130th street and Edgecombe avenue, beginning at 9 a.m. The Salvation Army The Harlem branch of the Salvation Army, located at 48 West 135th street, under supervision of Ensign Lambert Bailey, furnishes two meals a day to the poor and unimproved, more than a thousand being fed each day.

YWCA Campaign For Budget Funds Nearly Complete, But Needs of Girls Grow Heavier Day by Day Christmas Seal Sale to Help Save 2,000 Harlem Children From Danger Resulting From Contact With T. B. Beauty Culture is a Profitable Profession! The major emphasis in the Branch during the past several weeks has been Campaign. It is necessary each year at about this time to ask this community to contribute to the work so that the budget deficit for the following year may be covered. This deficit is the result of the purely service features of the Branch from which no income can be realized. There are many features of the, Y. W. C. A, program for, which people are able and willing to pay. These are classes, rooms, meals, etc. As far as possible such departments are made self supporting and any surplus from them is used to decrease the budget deficit, so that the burden upon the community will not be too great. All work with girls in clubs, the information desk, service, social service cases, etc., come under the category of non-income producing departments. This has been a difficult year in which to raise money because of the general unemployment, but many loyal friends have responded to the appeal of the Branch, and, as we write, we are within a few hundred dollars of the Branch quota, of $5,000 and we wish to extend most grateful appreciation to both campaign workers and donors.

The Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee at 108 West 30th street has made a resume of its work for 1930, showing how it has been fighting against the ondaught of tuberculosis in this section and how many Harlem residents have benefited by its activities.

So many of the girls are hard hit by the economic depression. Many of them are not able to meet their expenses in the residence and in classes, and certainly, a great many are having to forego the luxury of swimming pool or gym classes. The cafeteria is attempting to meet the needs of the girls by planning, more than ever, low priced meals which shall still be nutritious and appetizing. The employment department is running way behind its budget because there are so many social welfare cases which must be handled free of charge. In many cases girls have reached the point of desperation and must have, not only credit, but immediate financial aid. been raise a certain amount of money for origine nt investments in boxes of apples, and this money has been used for the women and girls who are most hard pressed. After the origine al box is purchased the girl keeps herself supplied. Everything possi ble is being done to help girls find jobs and to tide them over and keep un their morale until they do. One friend of the Branch has given a certain amount of money for the original investment in boxes of apples, and this money has been used for the women and girls who are most hard pressed.

YWCA Campaign For Budget Funds Nearly Complete, But Needs of Girls Grow Heavier Day by Day --- The major emphasis in the Branch during the past several weeks has been Campaign. It is necessary each year at about this time to ask this community to contribute to the work so that the budget deficit for the following year may be covered. This deficit is the result of the purely service features of the Branch from which no income can be realised. There are many features of the Y. W. C. A. program for which people are able and willing to pay. These are classes, courses, meals, etc. As far as possible such departments are made self supporting and any surplus from them is used to decrease the budget deficit, so that the burden upon the community will not be too great. All work with girls in clubs, the information desk service, social service cases, etc., come under the category of non-income producing departments. This has been a difficult year in which to raise money because of the general unemployment, but many loyal friends have responded to the appeal of the Branch, and, as we write, we are within a few hundred dollars of the Branch quota, of $5,000 and we wish to extend most grateful appreciation to both campaign workers and donors.

He then uped it began walking on the lock of the office safe, still welding the hatchet, and succeeded in knocking off the tumbler off the office safe and swinging back the door. From the safe he is alleged to have taken $137 in bills and silver.

On the way, to the dairy the detectives picked up Patrolmen Will McManus, John Conroy and Will McManus, who are their revolvers and clung to the ning'board of the speeding car as it raced down Franklin avenue. They arrived in front of the dairy at precisely the moment that Kemp emerged from the jagged hole in the cellar door which he had hacked on his way in: Kemp, police saw, took to his heels, with the three patrolmen in pursuit, shouting to him to stop. Kemp answered with a quick look over the shoulder, and kept on running. An instant later he fell dead to the sidewalk with a bullet through his heart and another to his lung.

A splendid program was rendered as part of the service, a feature being the singing of Mrs. Mary Purvis of Newark, N. J., who is over 80 years old. Her volume, totes, voice control and enunciation, and other elements that go to make a good singer, would do credit to many women very much younger than she. Mrs. Purvis is a past grand senior matron of the order. Mrs. Mary S. Gale, superintendent of the Eastern District and her staff were present. There were also visitors from Tartyr town, Peekskill, Yonkers and other points up-state and New Jersey. Some of the grand lodge officers who were visitors were Grand Secretary; Hester Holt; Grand Senior Matron L. Davidson, of New Jersey and Past Grand Senior Matron E. Freeman, also of New Jersey. The annual turkey dinner of the building fund committee of the United Teens of Brooklyn will be held at the home of Superintendent Mary S. Gale; 104 Hoyt street, on Friday, December 5 from 2 to 9 p.m. in Mrs. Margaret White is charitably of the dinner committee. ADVERTISE YOUR FURNISHED ROOMS Negro Democrats in Brooklyn, Who Are Backing Wesley L. Young as Leader, Form Randall Association While a group of Negro Democrats who have formed the Kings County Colored Democratic Organization, have been meeting with the purpose of having a new county organization, the Regular Colored Democratic Association Inc. of Kings County, of which "Chief" Wesley L. Young is the leader, is adding to its strength from all indications, for on Thanksgiving Day a large, number of Democratic men and women turmed aside from their festivities for awhile in order to open a club house under the leadership of Mr. Young. "This was in the Hill section of the 10th A. D. The new organization, which is known as the James E. Randall Association, is located on Bergen street, near Ralph avenue, James E. Randall the standard bearer, is the leader and executive member of the club. After the speechmaking an elaborate turkey dinner was served to the members, and guests, free of charge. This was the only Negro Democratic organization to so do in the county. A number of well known white politicians attended the affair. Leader Randall called the gathering to order, and in a brief talk introduced the venerable "Chief," who acted as master of ceremonies. In his talk, Mr. Young told of the organization of the Regular Colored Democratic Association, of Kings County inc. It was incorporated in 1913, when Supreme Court *Justice Abel Blackmar* approved the incorporation. Among the incorporators were Wesley L. Young, W. L. Ellison, William M. H. Johnson, Perry Wilson and Archie B. Derris This organization has the power to organize clubs throughout the county for spreading of the principles of the club, to buy real, estate for clubshouses, offer Leaders Support Young In the course of his remarks, Mr. Young, evidently referring to the new Democratic movement, said: "It takes an artist to paint a picture, but any fool can kick a hole in it over night." He introduced Oscar W. Fulcher, executive secretary of the county organization, who spoke on "Organization." He gave a very interesting talk on practical politics and organization. Mr. Fulcher is one of the oldest Democrats in the line of service in the county, and is a former leader of the county. The next two speakers were young Democrats, Summer H. Lark Jr., and Chester Thonias. They, told of their reason for being Democrats, and what the party means to the Negro in New York City.

Stewart of the 17th A.D., and Attorney William S. Pearlman, a district captain. Both laided the leadership of Mr. Young, and also offered their services to all, regardless of politics. Upon the conclusion of the speech-making, dinner was served. This was followed by dancing. William Wade presided at the piano. There had been tumors that this organization would be in opposition to the Regular County Association, but Mr. Randall and Mr. Beebe, the moving spirits in the organization stated that they were-with the old organization. A remark made during the evening by Mr. Pearlman, the white captain, seemed to have gripped all present, from the comments made. It was this: "We Democrats welcome you in our clubhouses, but I for one do not see any harm in you being clamish, and also have your own organization, for in that you have greater strength. Fellow one leader at a time. A leader like Mr. Young must have made good or else he would have been replaced. Remember that politics is like a bargain counter. That is, you pay for what you get! If you give real service, then you may expect something." The officers of the club are: J. E. Randall, leader; William Dunson, president; William Howard, vice-president; Edward Beebe, treasurer, and Arthur Bates, secretary. Whites Mourn Death of Aged Negro Drug Clerk Alexander Wilson, a drug clerk, who was born in slavery days, is dead, and there is much mourning among the white people in the Eastern District, where he worked for over forty years. "Alex," as he was affectionately called by his many friends, died on Saturday, November 22, at his residence, 295 Howard avenue. Mr. Wilson, who limped his way through life, always smiling, always helpful, according to his white friends, was loved by all who met him. He was 85 years old and was born in Vicksburg, Miss. He was brought North by a Mr. Tatum of the firm of Whitall. Tatum and Co. Mr. Wilson received his education in old Brooklyn, and left school to enter the drug business.

For example, WOrth 2-9970 will be dialed W-O-2-9-9-7-0. In calling by voice, the office numeral will also be included, the number being given to the operator as "Worth 2 (pause) 9-9-7-0". BELL ledge street, When Dr. Beard died and the ownership of the drug store passed to the hands of Dr. Nelson S. Kirk, he continued in his familial place, serving customers and keeping in daily contact with the community life of which he had become a part. Few in the district knew his real name, and his age was a mystery to them, and he seemed to go on for ever. Death called others, but he went on, apparently, untouched by time. But the grim reaper claimed him. Mr. Wilson is survived by a widow and two daughters. Thanksgiving Dinner to Poor by 17th District Republicans in Brooklyn The Republican Colored Voter's Association of the 17th A. D. gave a free turkey dinner to the people of the district at their club house 484 Herkimer street, on Thanksgiving Day. A large number was served. During the course of the dinner Assemblyman-elect Robert K. Story Jr., came in and thanked Leader Clarence J. Holland, co-leader Mrs. Esther J. Simpson, and their followers, for the support they gave him in the election. He stated that it was mainly through their efforts that he was elected. The committee of ladies that served the dinner were Mesdames, Coral La Marie, Marie Fields, W. T. Patterson and Louis Hocker, and Miss Esther Simpson. The officers of the club are Claire once J. Holland, president and executive member Mrs. Esther J. Simpson, co-leader; Mrs. Cora Lapelle vice-president; Mrs. M. Taylor, secretary; Benjamin Williams, treasurer. The board of directors are Alfred D. Peyton, Cora Lapelle, Sumner H. Lewis, Alonzo Fields, Stephen Kennedy, Arthur E. Brent, L. Johnson Warner and Harry Lapelle. Silver Lock Club Installs New Officers The Silver Lock Club held their November meeting at the home of Mrs. Annie Robinson, 470 Waverley avenue, a few days ago. Two new members joined the club. The newly elected officers were installed by the Rev. Joseph Carrington, pastor of the Mt Carmel Baptist Church. An elaborate reapst was served after the installation. The officers are Mrs. Lillian Lewis, president; Mrs. Rehecca Lewis Mylanda, vice-president; Mrs Alice F. Thompson, secretary; Mrs Emmia Miles, treasurer; Mrs. May Green, chaplain, and Mrs. Lena M.

Of, course, at this period, The Age had no idea of the extent of the system of graft and corruption that lay behind the use of stool pigeons in manufacturing false charges against women. At that time it was mainly interested in rescuing those innocent women who had been victimized by the machinations of such stool pigeons as Dancey and protested against their employment by the police in Harlem. The whole situation of fattening on the money extorted from women caught in this system of graft, whether they are innocent or guilty, is one of shocking deprivation. The craze for money leads men to mighty low practices. In considering the harm done by the use of stool pigeons in Harlem, it leads to the conviction, that it is better sometimes to allow the guilty to escape for the time, than to cruelly persecute the innocent and perhaps thus make new converts to vice. London Office, Gorringe's Agency, No. 17 Green Street Center Square, London, W. C. 2. Letters and make all checks and money orders able to THE NEW YORK AGE FRAMING WOMEN IN HARLEM. The special inquiry conducted by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, into the charges of graft and corruption in the lower courts of New York City, has revealed a sordid system of vicious oppression, which made as its prey defenseless women, regardless of the fact whether they were guilty of crime or not. This system, according to the evidence so far brought out, involved lawyers and bondsmen, police and their stool pigeons, and somebody connected with the courts to make convictions stick or dissolve as the occasion might demand. The testimony of some of these stool pigeons corroborated all that The Age had to say about the employment of such promoters of crime and potential blackmailers two or three years ago, when Harlem women were persecuted in such manner. NEWSPAPER ETHICS. The ethics of newspapers are of a somewhat elastic character, if the practices followed by some newspaper proprietors and writers are at all in keeping with their moral rules of conduct. This was shown in a popular play portraying newspaper men in action, where the managing editor in order to keep his star reporter from leaving his paper even for a wedding tour, had him arrested at the railroad station on a false charge of stealing a watch with the managing editor's name engraved in the case, but which he had just given to the reporter in appreciation of his last bit of clever newspaper work. The revelation of the dirty work done by stool pigeons in training perfectly innocent women and accusing them of prostitution or soliciting for that purpose, was brought out by a number of complaints and appeals for aid brought to the editor of The Age. Investigation of many of these cases showed that the charges were groundless and that the women had been framed by a stool pigeon used by the police for that purpose. The editor of The Age fought these cases in Jefferson Market Court, and with the aid of philanthropic lawyers succeeded in securing the freedom of some of the innocent victims of stool pigeon testimony. Others who may have been equally innocent were sent to reformatory. All of those thus framed suffered from the ignominy of having been arrested on such a charge. Time was several decades ago in New York, when journalistic ethics did not prevent rival, editors from denouncing one another personally in the columns of their respective papers. Thus, in one daily paper you might read how the editor of a rival sheet had proved himself a coward by snatching a life preserver from a woman passenger in a steamboat disaster. The opposition paper would then trace the origin of his accuser to the lowly position of hostler on swineherd on some foreign soil before he migrated to the land of opportunity. Another would refer in friendly but depreciating terms to a junior editor who had arrived at the dignity of a sky scraper building, as the young editor in the tall tower, with the presumption that these were his distinguishing qualities. Many of the judges refused to believe that women could be framed in such manner by the police and the stool pigeons, and were hard to convince that such collusion was possible. This made it much harder to save many of the victims who had no money for bail or to fight the case. Finally the evidence of false testimony on the part of the stool pigeons convinced some of the police authorities that they were framing women for money and several police inspectors refused to use them in prosecuting vice cases. There was one of these stool pigeons in Harlem named Dancey, who became so notorious for his vicious attacks on women whom he tried to frame on false charges, that even the police became convinced of his unreliability. He was indicted on charges and disappeared after breaking his parole. Turning to our able and alert contemporaries of the Negro press, we find two of the most imposing in quantity and sensationalism, turning to the numbers' racket to attract a large number of readers. Besides printing a record of the winning numbers that appeared during the past year, these pretend to print the numbers that will appear in the near future. In other words, they try to tip off their readers as to the digits that will show in the clearing house totals ahead of time. How they can get away with such a proposition is hard to figure out, but a certain number of credulous numbers players are said to have grasped at the straw and buy a copy to get the lucky numbers. A logical contemporary, not content with getting out a news edition of its own, devotes a large part of its energy and time of its owners and employees, in the effort as it phrases it, "to put The Age out of business." Not content with securing advertisements on its own merits, it seeks to discourage advertisers from using The Age by telling them that its prices are too high. In talking to advertisers who use The Age, it claims to cover all of Harlem, and tells them that they do not need to advertise in any other local papers. It questions the circulation figures of The Age, although backed by post office receipts and newsstand sales, and vaunts its own figures as certified by some audited agency. In the reign of terror that was created by unwarranted police raids in Harlem on the testimony of such rascals as Dancey, no woman felt safe. The stool pigeon would seek entrance to some apartment occupied by one woman or more, on some specious excuse, and soon after the police would follow and arrest the inmates on the charge of keeping a disorderly house or plain prostitution. A nod from the Committee of Fourteen, which stood behind this alleged war upon vice, would send a woman to Welfare Island, regardless of her previous record as a decent and hardworking citizen. This was the result of preconceived ideas that sought to class every woman in Harlem as of ill-repute, regardless of her race or color. The Age fought strenuously against any such wholesale libel and convinced many of the judges that certain cases were based entirely upon false testimony. One Age advertiser retorted to such uncalled for advice, that he used The Age because it brought results, and refused to deal with a rival paper which proposed to dictate his advertising policies. How this campaign of lying and deprecation can be reconciled with any system of newspaper ethics is beyond us. Of course, when this persistent course of lying and slander reaches the limit, a legal remedy may be found to stop it. How false some of this testimony was appeared from the evidence brought out by Mr. Kresel, the prosecutor for the Appellate Division, when one of the stool pigeons named Acuna stated that the police would go to Negro apartments in Harlem and "make arrests without any reason at all," just because they had to "make an average number every month or else go back in uniform. When the vice slents ran short of material and wanted to maintain their record for real, according to another account, they went into Harlem, making raids indiscriminately and "hauling in wagonioads of populated women." A minor offender in the observance of the code of newspaper ethics is a Chicago contemporary, which reproduced a leading editorial from The Age of November 15, giving it a conspicuous position in its issue of November 30, in the last two columns of its editorial page, but prefacing it with an introduction giving credit to the New York Times. Maybe The Age editor should feel proud of having his article credited to a metropolitan daily, but he cannot see it that way.

REMOVING AN EXCUSE. The protection of Southern womanhood has long served as an excuse for the crime of mob murder in the South, although but now of the lynchings reported of late years have even alleged rape as the cause. Now, numbers of white women of the South have spoken in several localities in such way as to remove that time-worn cry as pretext for mob activities. The important bearing of this expression from the women of the South was expounded by James B. Nevin in the Atlanta Georgian, and reproduced under the head of "What Georgia Editors Have to Say" in such papers as the Macon Telegraph.

Now, numbers of white women of the South have spoken in several localities in such a way as to remove that time-worn cry as a pretext for mob activities.

Nevin in the Atlanta Georgian, and reproduced under the head of "What Georgia Editors Have to Say" in such papers as the Macon Telegraph. We print the article in full as indicating a significant change in Southern sentiment on this subject: A group of intelligent, patriotic and sincere Southern women have organized for the purpose of combating the evil of lynching. They intend to let it be known that criminal outrages and murders perpetrated by mobs in defiance of law and order shall not proceed under any color of authority to excuse themselves as acting upon a theory that the "purity, dignity and honor of Southern womanhood" must be "protected" in any such way. Here, then, this writer thinks, is a movement that may get somewhere and do some good. Time was when a woman was supposed to accept sinely and obediently any alleged tenet of "chivalry" some of her "men folks" might dish up for her. Happily, woman has emerged from that most humiliating estate and is in the main quite capable of protecting her own purity, dignity and honor in her own way and without the assistance or interference of lawless elements and criminals. Southern womanhood does not desire or invite "protection" upon the part of mobs bent upon lynchings—even for the "usual crime," so-called. I think the "men folks" of the mobs may be very sure of that, and it is not surprising, therefore, that Southern womanhood should be—somewhat tardily, perhaps—arising to let that fact be known in such wise as not in the least to be doubted! This is regarded by people who are closer to the scene of action as an encouraging sign that some of the white people of the South are awakening to the enormity of the crime of lynching and the futility of the pretexts that are advanced for its existence and acceptance as one of the social institutions of the section. Mr. Kevin's comment on the revolt of Southern womanhood against being made an excuse for job murder, is as significant in its way as the action of the women themselves.

Nevertheless, they are members of the national legislature until the fourth day of next March and can exercise all their powers as such in making and marring legislation. Considerable speculation has arisen as to what this Congress may do on several important issues, as there are many subjects for legislation demanding prompt attention. Qualified observers are of the opinion that Congress will do nothing on the subject of prohibition, as it still remains dry from a political point of view, however wet some of its members may be in practice. This is provided that the Wickersham commission does not snake some kind of report calling for action, either for modifying or tightening up Volstead act. In that case, if the report has administration approval there may be some action affecting prohibition enforcement. Naturally, one of the important duties of this Congress will be to pass the appropriation bills that kep the machinery of the government moving and pay the men hired for that purpose. If these bills are not passed, it may be necessary for the President to call a session of the new Congress to meet after March 4, to repair such an omission. These bills could all be comfortably acted upon in the time allotted to this session, if there were no other subjects of legislation to get in the way and provoke endless discussions which might delay action. But there are several matters of this sort. One of these matters is the confirmation of appointments to office made by President Hoover. Some of these, such as the nomination of Eugene Meyer as head of the Federal Reserve Board, Henry P. Fletcher to the recently enlarged Tariff Board and Henry P. Doak as Secretary of Labor may arouse much opposition. Then there is the subject of employment legislation, which should be the most pressing matter of all. The question of what to do with Muscles Shoals, which caused the defent of one Southern Congressman, is likely to press for decision. The bill to do away with "large ducks" altogether by changing the time for the new Congress to meet is still on the way. while the-anti injunction bill and other matters are likely to be pressed toward a vote. President Hoover has finally decided to submit the question of participation in the World Court to action by the Senate, and is depending upon the support of the Democrats to help him to secure ratification. This in itself may pre- COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS Under the somewhat suggestive head of "Playing to the Gallery," the editor of the Northwest Monitor of Minneapolis and St. Paul touched on unemployment in the following vein: It is gratifying to observe the many gestures that are being made, locally and nationally to map out definite program for the relief of unemployment. Civic clubs, public spirited citizens, and the press, seem to have awakened to the realization that if this nation is to survive and prosper, some radical departure must be made from the established economic order. While no concrete plan for permanent relief has yet appeared on the horizon, there has been a perfect legion of campaign launched to afford a partial and temporary solution of the unemployment phantom. Just now the city of Minneapolis is urging all unemployed persons to register at designated places. The same holds true in St. Paul. The Minneapolis and Saint Paul Urban League headquarters have been named as official registration places and all Race unemployed should make it a point to fill out a card at either of the Urban League offices. While the unemployment situation seems to be regarded as a phantom by this Minnesota editor, other cities have found it a stern reality. Elaborating on the statement made by Heywood Breach, late candidate for Congress on the Socialist ticket, that what he needed most was a machine, the Louisiana Weekly of New Orleans said: Had Mr. Broun started out years ago, today he would no doubt have a real machine. He didn't, so he must begin to build one. A perfected machine might spell victory for him. We, however, have trifled the time away by groping in a labyrinth of error, following the blind, we have both fallen into the ditch. But, like the ghost that would wure Hamlet on, we too will go no further; tired of this personal aggrgratement; tired of this Big Me, and little you. What we need in this state is a machine. Party affiliations are to be optional, but what we must have is a machine. The Old Line (Lying) Republicans will soon flood your mail boxes with worthless information as to who is the most efficient man to represent the party in this state at the next national convention. Something warns them to flee from the wrath of a maddened populace. They are crying with a loud voice, "pay your poll tax, pay your poll tax." Today they realize, more than ever, how Napoleon felt when his old guards failed him. Our young men will not hearken to the cry of the Barnacle Pharoahs; their dynasty has ended, the ages lay claim to their rule of wantonness. We shall clear away the poletical debris, and build new monuments to perpetuate the memory of those who are willing and brave enough to say, "I'll help to build a machine by which we will be enabled to become actively engaged in the governing of our country." Our aim is to defeat tradition, and recognize only men of measure and merit. The adoption of a Lilywhite policy has evidently brought confusion to the Republicans of Louisiana, as it has done in other Southern states. The St. Louis Argus, in directing attention to the appeals of new political parties, ventured the opinion, "It's Worth Deep Study." It said More recently our attention has been directed in a political way, to such parties as the Socialist, Labor-Socialist, Labor and Communist. As to whether either of these parties will in the course of time become a power in the political affairs of this nation, is of course, speculative. But recent observation of the activities of the Communists' organization throughout this country indicate that it has something to offer the public which, at least is worth the study of the best minds in the country. Ordinarily, we would in no way be interested in what is generally termed as "radicalism" propagated by "fanatics" but Communism is getting nearer us everyday and we see hundreds of Negroes joining its ranks. Some how, it has an appeal to the masses, because it seems to offer a panacea for the many ills from which we as a group suffer in this country. Despite our disinclination to give this matter and this subject any attention, we feel it our duty to speak of a movement which is getting so near us that it is certain to affect all of us sooner or later. We can see that the Negro in his disturbed and dissatisfied state of mind because of lynchings, disfranchisements, discriminations and proscriptions of which he is the victim in this country, furnishes a fertile soil for any thing new which seems to offer a cure for these ills. Whether we like it or not, wisdom suggests that this matter be given the deepest thought by the best minds, particularly of the colored people. Despite the efforts of alien propagandists the Negro population of the United States has not proved to be cipitate debate, which may crowd much necessary legislation out of a hearing or prevent it from reaching a vote. The outlook for prompt action by the present Congress on needed legislation is none too favorable, unless the members of both parties unite in an effort to pass the necessary bills and limit debate to that end. fertile soil for communistic seed. This was testified by the late John Reed, a noted communistic advocate and write, who died not so long ago in Russia. In advocating the enlargement and support by State funds of an industrial training school for delinquent Negro girls, the Africa-American Presbyterian of Charlotte said: Some years ago a few colored men of the State bought a tract of land for which to build a reform training school for incorrigible Negro boys. The property was later turned over to the State and as a result we now have the Morrison Training School for colored boys. This institution is a credit to the State and a blessing to the Negro race. The project, however, was not taken over by the State until after the State Legislature had been appealed to three or four times by a committee of colored men during a period of six or eight years. A similar thing should be done for the Efland Home for defluent girls. The matter of having the State take over and finance the Efland Home should be taken to the State Legislature and constantly kept before that body until favorable action is secured. The religious editor would seem to press home the lesson that the State will in time help those who show a disposition to help themselves Writing in her column, "From a Woman's Point of View," in the Washington World, Miss Nannie H. Borroughs touched upon the exploitation of the Negro in advertising as follows: The Gold Dust Twins, Aunt Jemima, and Amos and Andy have pilied up millions for two business concerns and two white men. Aunt Jemima and the Gold Dust Twins cook and wash dishes white Amos and Andy broadcast subtle and mischievous propaganda against Negro business. They essay to give the world the "low down" and the "close up" on Negro business and on the social and fraternal life of the race. They tell the world that when it comes to business the Negro is a huge joke and a successful failure. Amos and Andy are piling up millions for themselves and building up tremendous public sentiment against Negro business. They broadcast the Negro as an ignorant, standardless, credulous, dishonest, braggadocio sham. They magnify, advertise, capitalize and broadcast the crude efforts of the most ignorant. Amos and Andy are making an indelible impression upon the minds of the children and young people of the white race. Millions of children are getting their first impression of the Negro from Amos and Andy. Those impressions will go with them through school and college and the young people who will not be privileged to learn the truth or see and hear the other side will always see the Negro as a huge ioke and a successful failure in all kinds of business. They will see him as a trook in handling the funds entrusted to him by his own people in their ignorant benefactors." Miss Burroughs concluded that, "it is time for Amos and Andy to get off the air and engage in the high calling of helping educate their ignorant benefactors. Under the headline, "Will Mr Coen Please Answer" the Denver Star printed on its first page the following challenge to the chairman of the Republican State Committee Mr. John R. Creen, as Republican State Chairman before the New York investigating Committee—you, in Friday morning's Rocky Mountain News, November 14th are quoted as having testified that the entire colored vote of the state was offered you for a $1,000 contribution to an orphan's home. There is one real orphan's home (colored) in Pueblo, and a so-called one in Denver. Now since you thought so much of the incident to mention it to the said committee, will you as a fair and square shooter, tell the colored people through the Star just who made such an offer, when, etc., and whether it was by a certain preacher of a certain denomination, or just who it was? By your bread支宴 the Negro electorate of the state keenly feel the sting of your charge to be publicly asserted throughout the nation as being purchasable. Let us see to it that your peaceful quiet will never again be so disturbed and help us by telling the Star just who it was and all the facts? Will you be as fair to a Negro weekly as you were to a white daily? Please answer—the colored electorate of this state will await your action with keen interest. Of course no one individual could deliver the entire Negro vote of Colorado, or any other state, for that matter. And few, if any, Republican chairmen, could be filled into parting with three thousand dollars out of such an assumption. If Mr. Green received any such offer it should be regarded as a tribute to his guilelessness.

Cambridge Elks Serve 100 Poor on Thanksgiving Editor of The New York Age: The Poecohontas Lodge of Elks 129, I. B. P. O. E. of W., gave its annual Thanksgiving turkey dinner to the widows and orphans them for the future welfare of those who assembled to acknowledge the blessings of Providence, and to pray for the continuance of divine favor. When they were all sumptuously served there were many baskets of fragments left over sufficient to feed as many more. Many old time plantation hymns were sung as expressing the overflowing gratitude of a thankful people. We are preaching the gospel of "peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind" by copying the example of the good Samaritan in our efforts to uplift the fallen, succor the weak, and mend the broken fortunes of our fellowmen. If we attain that end, we shall have served the mission that God has appointed us toujillfall. Your humble servant is thankful that the voices of our people in expressing their views, opinions, and feelings to a vehicle in your valuable journal to broadcast them to the four corners of the globe. As a member of Protontas Lodge I am authorized to extend a cordial invitation to the editor and staff of The Age, whenever any of you should find yourselves within the confines of this vicinity, to pay us a call. THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 6 Astrologically Considered satisfaction will come in the end. December 10 will bring a rather good birtyear to those who follow professional occupations, and will use the ability to reason in a clear and logical way if time is taken for the effort. New plang and new enterprises should be carefully considered. Promotion and advancement will come to many. The year can be worthwhile if steadiness of purpose is held to the end. Tact and patience in family and domestic affairs will help a great deal) Friends of the opposite sex should be carefully chosen, as romance or marriage is not advised for the people of today in the coming birtyear. Those who begin another birthyear on December 11 will find the birthyear one of progress through their own efforts. A firm mental attitude based upon logical reasoning should be taken, as the tendency to think in a deceptive way is very strong. Doubtful friends and strangers should be avoided, as trouble and loss of honor is shown through them. Family and domestic changes are indicated for every one born today in the coming birthyear. The year is worth while to those who can persevere. December 12 begins a birthday that will bring about changes in the employment and business, and a year that will either break or make the people of today. Those who can pay as they go, and make out with what they have will find the year full of valuable lessons. Those who have faith will find the help of others in, the time of greatest need for a year like this God teaches that He alone can do. Those who do things that are not right will pay the price later, for they will be found out. The readers who would like to know how to get ahead and to understand the planetary influence 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 Theurer in care of the New York Age 24 West 135th street, New York City.

The officers and members of the lodge, were most energetic in trying to bring happiness and sunshine into the lives of those who gathered in the spacious halls of their beautiful building. At J p. m covers were laid for one hundred people, while large numbers of animals and followers of our institution were present. A goodly sprinkling of abbreviates were supplied with dinner sent to them by automobiles. Many of our members have machines' which were used for 'transferring the lame, the halt and the blind to the hall and then to their homes. Some, of our prominent Baptist ministers were present. The benefaction of heaven was asked by By "THEARCHER" Those who begin another birthyear on December 6 will find that many changes will come in the family and domestic circles. Those who like to think before they speak or write, especially where signing notes or legal papers are concerned, will be able to pass through the birthyear without worry on account of legal matters. There will be help from others in time of need to those who know how to keep friends. Patience, and words that are tactfully used will bring worth while gain. Those who like to speak in a harsh or abrupt tone will lose more than they gain, even if the intentions are good. December 7 begins a birthyear that will be very much like the birth-year of December 10, and those who plan to go to court, to family or other matters should think twice, as there will be more loss than gain in the final analysis. New plans and enterprises will not turn out well even if they are a splendid beginning. Financial matters will require careful management to avoid loss or dishonor. Those who are marginal should try to understand the mate, especially if financial matters are concerned. The birthyear for December 8 promises happiness, travel and financial opportunities to the people of today who know how to plan well and to think to the best advantage without hurting others. The honor and reputation should be guarded. Those who are married should try to be patient, and those who are single should be careful to choose the best type of the opposite sex when love comes. Those who begin another birthday on December 9 should try to be an patient and careful as is possible in all things especially where the domestic or romantic interests are concerned. New plans and new enterprises will not turn well. Those who are in business or in employment should be careful to see that every thing that they do is the best and in that way give others no chance to cause worry and trouble. Those who have money to invest should go to a very reliable bank and not to unknown people or doubtful strangers. Nothing should be bought on the deferred payment plan, for du Applications open for the following City examinations—Auxiliary Clerk, grade 3, salary $1,800 to $2,400 a year.

CHURCH Last Sunday marked the close of the month of Harvest, Thanksgiving and Missions in St James Church. Both services of the day were devoted to the general theme of young people and missions. Morning hour Albert LeRoy Smith, missionary pastoral assistant, led the service, with sermon by Dr. Imes on "Youth and Mission." In the evening, despite the inclement weather, the young people's groups made a creditable showing at the quarterly missionary meeting of the St James Missionary Society, when they had as guest speaker Mrs William B. Buchana, secretary for Young People's Work in the New Women's Presbyterian Society. Next Sunday is University Bible Day, and St. James will have its part in the celebration of this event.

C. The reading of the morning service on last Sunday of a preliminary financial report of the fall farr, recently held in St. James, showing the standing of the various auxiliaries and clubs, created quite a stir and is causing some of the booth chairmen no little anxiety since finding the standing of the trustees on the ranks as they had expected or hoped to be. There will be echoes and recoheses for some time to come. This friendly rivalry will mean much toward increasing the figures on the right side of the trustees' ledger. MANEUEL A. M. E. CHURCH At 11 a.m. an anxious and eager audience greeted the speaker. Rev. Dr. L. Ruffin Nichols, presiding elder of the Georgetown district, led the audience to act texts 8:35 "There Phillip opened his mouth and began the same scripture and - preached unto him "titus." and lose his own soul?" These are important you ought prepare to answer them. Why do I say these are the most important questions in This book (Bible) Answer: A book I keep, I have, A God to glorify, A never dying soul to save And I fit it for the sloa." In all the ages, there never has been a time when people did not seek to get in touch with God. The bar is sin, but how happy the (say) man who asks "Behold I stand in the door, knock, if any man will open I will come unto him and sup with him and he with me." God can come and manifest Himself in my heart. He has always had a way of manifesting Him: "When he think of Christ's promise: "If I go away I will send the comforter." Phillip was an apostolic preacher. I admit the world has grown materialistic, but God still wants us to preach Christ and the resurrection. How can man preach the gospel and leave out Jesus Christ. And believe the Apostles' Creed? Christ and the resurrection is 'the theme of the Gospel Dispensation. If you preach the unadulterated gospel as Philip did, somebody will believe. Effective work cannot be done without the Spirit. You do not know what the Spirit, talk about, or not make you feel, for 'As many as are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.' Phillip was led by the Spirit of God. One had an open mind; the other had tact and ability. Not a multitude of questions and answers—just "Understand thou" and "How can I?" One was an earnest instrument of truth—the other a zoological instrument in God's hands. Remember, God has no inactive child. Remember, God will help you if you worry. What happened? "Philip opened his mouth and preached Jesus." Jesus—the theme never grows old. The cunech listened at Philip Just an audience of one, yet Philip preached unto him, Jesus. This was the first time the cunech had ever heard the gospel. He believed and was baptized upon the confession of his faith. This happened? "This convert went on his way rebeicing. Both were equally happy. They never saw each other again. Remember, there is a work for each of us to do. Let us so live that in the end we may hear His welcome voice: "Well done—enter into the joys of thy Lord." At the conclusion of this soulful sermon four, united with the disciples, The Sunday school, League, and evening services were highly pleasing. Dr. McCarrel was a visitor again at Grace Congregational Church on Sunday morning and to him Dr. A. C. Garner, pastor, extend the courtesy to meet the morning lesson and prayer Dr. Garner preached an able sermon to an appreciative congregation, taking his text from St Mark 6484 at Grace Crawford accepted the fellowship invitation and was received into the membership of Grace Church. Sunday afternoon, Grace Church opened its door, the W.R. Roosevelt residence presented a program with Mrs. Clara Bruce, assistant manager of the Dunbar Apartments.

His theme was concerning the art of justice over the art of the truth. The pastor, Rev Wm, P. Hayes, is quite ill and the sermon at the morning services Sunday, November 30, was preached by Rev A. A Corpree, the assistant pastor. The text was chosen from Ruth 12:10, Ruth 13:10, and Ruth 14:10 to have them or to return from following after; after; for whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodges, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. He spoke of the courage of Ruth who forsook her idols to serve the true and living God, in spite of the hardships required, and compelled her to serve the true time. He warned against forcing people into the church, and recommended the idea of letting your life and persuasion he so filled WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH with the right spirit, that sinners will be constrained to willingly give up their ways. He living and dying, and the manner in which Christians should conduct themselves, and that they should separate themselves from the old life. The Baraca and the Philathea Bible Assessor in his mission. The discussion was led by Mrs. Thomas and a visitor who has made extensive researches of the Bible.

Mrs. Agnese Weeland was mistress of femininity. At the evening service, Rev. Corprew preached from II Kings 4:31. "And-Gehazi passed, on before them, and laid he staff upon him, and laid he staff upon him, was neither voice, nor hearing, Wherefore he went again to meet him and told him, saying, The child is not awake," Subjectj, "Personal Power." He explained the cause of Gehazi's failure as the failure of the church, not use God-given powers when he is unclean or guilty of wrong. His theme was concerning consecrated services.

Mrs. Lulu Hurse, gospel singer, was present, and as is her custom, joined with the choir in all its singing, and then, after the sermon, electrified the congregation with a solo in her voice. Mrs. Hurse will be with St. Paul in a series of meetings beginning Sunday evening, December 7. The pastor was at his best at the morning and evening services. No one who heard his sermon on "Giving That Gets," will ever forget it; and then in the evening he came back with a message made the pastor forget all about the Rally Day. His theme was, "Through Tribulation to the Kingdom." The B. Y. P. U. at 4 p. m. celebrated the first anniversary of the doir, with Rev. Licorish as the speaker.

The morning hour of worship was an observance of Thanksgiving, a song of service under direction of thelam A. White, organist-director, Mrs Beatrice Anderson assisted with violin. Solos were pleasingly sung by Mrs. Edith M. Cody and Gayle R. Glenn. The anthems were splendidly rendered and the service of song lent inspiration to the service of Thanksgiving. Dr Stark took his text from Philippians 3:1, saying that the spirit of Thanksgiving is spiritual. It does not depend upon anything outward but comes from within. In spite of poverty and the paucity of times there is much to be thankful for. The first Thanksgiving observed gave thanks for the love and care which God has given to his is the real spirit. There never was time when Thanksgiving could not be given. Religion and joy should belong together. God made them. happy. God has made everything beautiful in its season, in summer the ground fairly bursts forth with singing; in autumn as you view from the mountains the varkagae describe; the winter with all of its cold forming crystal palaces. The birds wake singing. We live in different worlds, we cannot live in two worlds at one time, first as a child, as a world of young people; a sa world of grown folks, and finally as a world of aged people. We live in a world that is preciated, it is just as necessary to play as to pray, everything right at the right time. Live your life naturally, right proportion and time. There is joy in these worlds. It does not consist in possessions but is within the heart. We must make our lives to conform to the God of nature, the Lord, happy in the Lord because He changes not. His promises are true. The Bible school met at 1.15 p.m. Thanksgiving was observed by the reading of poem appropriate to the occasion by Miss Lilian Wilkinson and the time of the Thanksgiving proclamation of President Hoover by Miss Mabel Duncan .

Harrison Gives Radio Talk to Aid Xmas Seal Sale Speaking over a national broadcast of 41 stations through station WABC, in New York City on December 2, at 4 p.m., Richard B. Harrison, the noted actor, who plays the leading part in "The Green Pastures," gave a talk on the life of Keats as part of the Christmas Seal campaign of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association and its Haven branch at 100 West 130th street. Mr. Harrison told how Keats, who died of tuberculosis, was the victim of the fear, current at the time, that the disease once contracted was fatal. Today of course, thankfully to the efforts of tuberculosis associations, it is a known fact that tuberculosis is not necessarily fatal at all, be durable when treated in the early stages, but at the time that Keats lived, tuberculosis was not yet understood as it is today and he regarded his case as completely hopeless. This was aggravated by the fact that his mother and brother had also died, of tuberculosis, and thinking that he had necessarily inherited the disease (another name, itself (noce exploded), he resigned himself to the inevitable fate and died, little more than a boy, at twenty-five years of age. "What a pity" said Mr. Harrison in his talk. "Keats died from pulmonary tuberculosis which now responds readily to modern methods of treatment. Death darkened the time this goes. Death when wheat most young men are treated threshold of their creative life, but not before mankind was enriched by his undying contribution to the world's literature." The tuberculosis campaign now being carried on requires half a million dollars for its work next year. Colonists must be treated to Thomas W.

C.-A blocked kick that bounded beyond the end zone for a safety early in the third quarter provided the margin by which Howard University defeated Lincoln, 2-0, in the annual Thanksgiving classic here at the Griffith stadium before a crowd of 20,000 shivering fans. It was a bitter cold Thanksgiving Day, and a keen northwest wind penetrated to the bones of the ators who shivered in the stands. Twenty thousands braved the blasts and it is estimated that at least half that number more were kept away by the raw weather. Although Lincoln's driving backs put-plunged the Bisons, and the Jons likewise held the edge in the forward pass gains, the Bison line always proved, invulnerable in the pinches, and the visitors never seriously threatened to score. On the other hand, advantages gained by Hall's steller punting and Lincoln's musplays frequently landed the ball deep into the Lion territory, and LaMar was repeatedly forced to get off rapid kicks from behind his own goal line. It was one of these that was blocked by Edwards, Howard's right end, who had substituted for Mack, and resulted in the only score of the game. On another occasion, late in the fourth quarter, LaMar was again about to kick in the shadow of his goal posts when he fumbled and the whole Howard team smothered the ball behind the goal line for what was apparently a touchdown. The ball was called back, however and Howard was penalized because Washington, substituting for Greenlee, had run on the field while the ball was in motion. The stiffening of the Bison forward wall when the ball was within their 20-yard line, plus the obliquing flubbles of the Lions gave Howard the general advantage throughout the game. Frequently apathetic in mid-field and ripped to pieces by the driving plunges of the LaMar, Harmon and Lewis, the Howard forwards became impregnable when the visitors approached within striking distance of their goal. Lincoln repeatedly lost the ball on downs after marches of thirty and forty yards or more down the field. In a desperate effort to overcome the two point lead in the final stages of the game, Lincoln attempted two place kicks but neither was able. placeACKs, but neither was close. Marshall stood put brilliantly for Howard both on the offensive and the defense, frequently getting away for considerable gains on end runs and repeatedly breaking through to smear the Lincoln plays before they grossed the line of scrimmage. "Sallie" Hall had a good day at kicking, outdistancing LaMar and using the high wind to good advantage when it was at his back. Drew smashed the line for frequent gains and the Howard ends showed remarkable speed in getting down the field under Hall's punts, often forcing Baskerville, the Lincoln safety man, to signal for a fair catch, or worrying him into costly fumbles. For Lincoln LaMar shone brilliantly, skirting the ends and smashing the line for consistent gains. Lewis, substituting for Smith, was also a pliding threat. The Lions made nine first downs to four for Howard, but the margin of superiority was not so great as these figures might indicate, since Howard was content to play a defensive game most of the way, frequently kicking on the first or second down, even when well toward mid-field, in order to keep the ball in Lincoln territory.

Tribune Five Turns Tables on Lincoln Philadelphia, Fig. Otto Briggs' new edition of the Philadelphia Tribune Big Five turned the tables on the Lincoln University Five to win a 32-31 victory before 1,200 thrilled spectators at the New Broadway A. C. last Friday night. It was the second meeting of these quintets, the first having resulted in a victory for Lincoln. The News boys, flashing a swift and bewildering passing attack, ran up a 20-8 lead in the first half. With ten minutes to play, Coach Haines rushed a batch of subs into the game, and this tactor coupled with some inspired play on the part of Bud Avery and Mack Weatherless enabled the college boys to tie the score, 31-31 with but ten seconds to play. At this juncture, Brown stepped to the 15-foot mark, and shot a foul to gain the decision for the local team. Davis and Shields shone brightly for the victors, while Avery and Wright were the bright lights for Lincoln. Lincoln Cross Country Men Show Up Well In Meadowbrook Handicap Lincoln Cross Country Men Show Up Well In Meadowbrook Handicap Philadelphia, Pa.—David Bradley and Edgar Lee were the only race members competing in the annual handicap cross-country run of the Meadowbrook Club over the five mile Fairmount Park course in Philadelphia last Saturday.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Production T A tense scene from the "The Big House," realistic prison drama which will be shown at the Douglas and Odeon Theatres for five beginning Saturday, December 6. from "The Big House"—A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Production Bill Robinson to Stage Big Benefit at the Alhambra Theatre --- Bill Robinson is the busiest man in New York these days. He has entered heart and soul into the arrangements for a benefit performance for the relief of the unemployed in Harlem to be given at the Alhambra Theatre at midnight on Sunday, December 14. The movement was started by Ted Blackmon, Will Reyant, Rosie Simmons and Edgar Haves, known as the Alhambra boys. They called upon actors in general to lend a hand. With characteristic enthusiasm Royaneles responded and sent out telegraphs by the slogan to the leading theatrical managers and stage stars. Acceptance of the call to come to Harlem to lend their talents to alleviate better distress are arriving in great numbers. Mr. Ziegfeld, who is usually opposed to the appearance of his stars outside his own enterprises, has promised Bill Robinson a brilliant array of his famous statues. The RKO circuit will send leading vaudeville headliners, and there will be many others. Of course, Bill Robinson, himself, and Adelaide Hall, and others of the cast of "Brown Buddies" from the Liberty Theatre will appear, and all of all, the program promises to be an extraordinary one. Nevertheless the price of admission will be low in order that everyone will be able to "do his bit" to help to relieve the existing distress. The tickets will range in price from 75 cents to $1.50, with box and large seats at $2. The exact total amount of the receipts will go for immediate relief, without one penny of deduction. This is a condition insisted upon by the management of the Alhambra Theatre, who will themselves pay any expenses that will be incurred. The relief fund will be handed over to the Salvation Army, which is now feeding more than a thousand needy people a day at its headquarters on 145th street. So efficient is the relief organization of the Salvation Army that they are able to supply meals consisting of good nourishing soup, bread and coffee at a cost of seven cents a person in other words every dollar of receipts at the benefit performance will feed fourteen people. Colonel Edward Underwood of the national staff and Volunteer Lambert Bailey of the Harlem division will represent the Salvation Army at the benefit and will receive the funds realized. However, if the receipts are sufficiently large to warrant a division, an amount will be apportioned to the relief work that is being done by the Police Department, every member of which is voluntarily paying over a percent age of his salary for public relief. Police Commissioner Mulmoney has promised that he will, if his duties permit, represent his department at the benefit Sunday midnight, December 14, at the Alhambra Theatre, at the time and place of this great benefit performance. Hamilton J. Jackson of 1800 Fulham street won the 50 yard dash at the Olympic District Athletic League of the Public School's, recently. His time will go as a record for an 50 pound boy. He has not lost a race in ten starts for this distance. He is eleven years old. When he is downtown, young Jackson, who is the son of K. Oliver Jackson, the policeman, who is attached to the Kings County police office, was stationed on the relief team of P.S. 4 for three years. Upon moving unlawfully to has been sent to P.S. 4. Another elated lie. Dallas Jackson won the last championship. He is one of the Lions for P.S. 93. Hamilton J. Jackson in his later training.

At The Lafayette Theatre At The Alhambra Theatre At The Lafayette Theatre At The Alhambra Theatre Unprecedented audiences are attending the Lafayette Theatre this week, to acclaim Duke Ellington and his uncomparable band. And the wonder of it is that Ellington's Band is only a part of this week's great stage and screen show at the Lafayette "Theatre. The audience is also being treated to Leonard Harper's newest creation — "The Double Check Revue" and Al Jolson's newest Vitaphone masterpiece, "Big Boy." It would seem superfluous to urge our readers to go to the Lafayette Theatre at least once this week. NEW CAREY-DAVIS SHOW NEXT WEEK Patrons of the Lafayette Theatre seem to be in for another stage treat next week, when they attend the presentation, of the new musical comedy revue being staged by Addison Carey and Charlie Davis. Their new musical comedy will be entitled "Harlem to Spain". According to advance reports, it contains ten unique and highly enjoyable scenes. The cast is of unusual excellence. It includes the three well-known comedians: Shelton Brooks, Henry Jines and Lloyd Mitchell; Norton and Druskea Drew; The famous colored adagio dancers; Anita and Selma Revera; the talented Spanish beauties; Harold Reid, noted baritone; Pete and Peaches, tap dancers de luxe; Salena Johnson and Kalser Marshall's Czars of Harmony. With such a cast, it seems almost impossible for Carey and Davis to create anything but a highly entertaining show - a worthy successor to their present Broadway success. The talking picture program will have as its feature "The Bäd Man" one of the year's outstanding romantic dramas Walter Houston is the star. His work in this picture is far different from that. in Abraham Lincoln, but the critics who wrote on the picture during its Broadway appearance liked him even better as the fearless Mexican bandit and lover. At The Roosevelt Announcement of another innovation is made by Mr. Goldschein, the enterprising new manager of the Rosevelt Theatre. Beginning Saturday, December 6th, the theatre will open at ten o'clock in the morning instead of at one, as heretofore. From ten until twelve thirty, the admissions will be lowered to ten cents for all seats. An unusual treat even in this day at Vitaphone and Technicolor, will be given to the patrons of the Rosevelt Theatre with the presentation of "The Rogue Song" on Thursday and Friday, December 4th and 5th. This spectacular drama recounts the adventures and romance of a fearless gipsy, who falls in love with a princess, only to be betrayed by her and lashed almost to the point of death. Lawrence Tabbert, one of the most famous dramatic stars, who is also possessed of a gorgeous hartpein source, enacts the leading role. An unusual feature of "The Rogue Song" is the presence of Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel in the cast. These noted comedians take the parts of two dumb soldiers in the hero's tribe. They provide loads of fun in contrast to the thrills and the tender romance of the story. "The Rogue Song" will appeal mightily to ever the theatregoers. Rennaissance Theatre By popular request, the management of the Renaissance Theatre has secured as the feature for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week that sensational melodrama, "Her Man" with Helen Twelvetress, Marjorie Rambeau and Ricardo Cortez. It is the famous story of "Frankie and Johnie" based on glum life in Havana and is filled with throbs and thrills. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, December 6-9, "The Virtuous Sun" with Walter Huston, Kay Francis and Kenneth Mackenna comes to the Renaissance. It is the first run in this community. Here is one of the most amazing tales ever unfolded on the screen. To save the man she married from death, Kay Francis, as a beautiful Russian girl, becomes involved with a Russian general who has condemned her husband only to find out later that she is really in love with the general and he with her. It is all so real that you are forced to wonder whether she isolated her virtue or was a heroin. This thrill holds a spellbound throughout this nature emotional dramatic sensation. Coming to the Renaissance soon are the following big attractions: Wallace Berry in "The Big House"; Nancy Gorrel in "Laughter"; Gorrell romance in "The Detective"; Fidel Cantor in "Whisperer"; Greal De Miller in "Madman Satan"; Gloria Simpson in "What A Wallow and The Big Trail."

WHITE Monarch Symphony Band Gives Monthly Program Monarch Symphony Band Gives Monthly Program Sunday afternoon, November 30, offered a plethora of musical events. At 3 o'clock, the Monarch Symphony Band, Lieut. Fred Simpson, director, offered its monthly Sunday afternoon free concert, which is heard on the last Sunday in each month through to May, 1931. Lieut. Simpson had arranged a most attractive program, the feature of which was the first appearance of a saxophone ensemble, made up of eleven artists, playing an arrangement by Lieut. Simpson of Goldman's "My heaven of love," and an arrangement by Smith Holmge of the "Russian Rag." Another attractive number was the singing of two songs by Miss Ida Roley, coloratura soprano, accompanied by the full band. Miss Roley sang two Victor Herbert numbers, "Ah, sweet mystery of life," and "Kiss me again" from "Mille. Modiste." The band played with its usual vigor and fine understanding. Alderman Fred R. Moore, treasurer of the free concert fund, spoke, briefly, after which the main address of the afternoon was delivered by A: Philip Randolph, president and general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The band program proper included the march, "Greetings to Thomasville," Eyster; selection, "Rio Tita," Tierney; "Auf wieder-sehn," Romberg; "San," McPhail and Michels; overture, "Marye Wives of Windsor," Nicolai Slavonic Rhapsody; Friedmann; Mexican Walt, "La Golondrina"; Seradell; Air de Ballet, "Pas descriptive," Chaminade; descriptive, "Chinese Wedding," Hosher. The salutation, as usual, was the Star Spangled Banner, with "Auld lang syne" as the nigle. Dr. Lawrence J. Davenport performed his customary duties as master of ceremonies. A splendid audience assembled at Imperial Elks' Auditorium on Sunday afternoon, November 30, at 4 o'clock, for the joint program offered by Andrew W. Watson, tenor, and Winifred Steed-Watson, soprano. These artists were making their first performance of the current season, following a period of inactivity due to Mrs. Watson's illhealth, and to Mr. Watson's confining work as a postal employee But the rest they have had was entirely beneficial, judging from the quality of their work, particularly that of Mrs. Watson. They are both earnest, sincere students of singing, Mr. Watson being a graduate of the Institute of Musical Art of the Jullliard Foundation. And, too, in considering his work, one has to remember that economic conditions make it necessary for him to devote at least eight hours a day to handling of Uncle Sewall and if he is a heavier handicap to be imposed upon a singer who is striving to perfect his art I would like to know what it His is a pleasing voice, with color and resonance, and he uses it with good judgment. His solo offerings were "When I am laid in earth," Purcelli; "Plaisir d'amour," Martini; "Die forelle," Schubert; "Cielo e mar," Ponchiella. "In the silence of night," Rachmannoff, and two Spirituals. "On im journey," Boatner, and "O, Peter, go ring dem bells." Burleigh. Mrs. Watson's voice shows decided, improvement with a mellow ripeness, smooth and velvety in texture. There is a pleasing lucidity in her utterances and intelligence in her interpretations. Her solo numbers were the Handel's solo numbers in "Juba's lyre." "Das velchen, Mozart; Vissi darte, vissi d'amour" from Puccini's "Tosca," "we have been roaring." Horn, "Blackbird's song." Scott; "Ram," Curran; "A Birthday." Woodman. Two duets were offered, the opening and closing numbers. The first was "Sempre pu i Tamo by Carafa, and the last was the "La Travata" duet, "Parigi, o care," by Verdi. The accompaniments were played with delightful sympathy and beauty by Lyda Mason. The recital was under management of the Watson Studio, 409 Edgecombe avenue. Concert at St. Luke's A group of artists was presented at the St. Luke's P. E. Mission, Admirecombe avenue, near 136th street, for benefit of the organist. A good-sized audience was appalled and showed splendid appreciation of the various musical offerings. Unanimous support from musicians, and so this reception cannot make individual mention of the artists.

Mr. Alston is a graduate of DeWitt Clinton High School and received his bachelor degree in fine arts in 1928. He is the first race lad to be honored by the Dow Scholarship.

IC Arthur Howe, Son-in-Law of Samuel C. Chapman, Fou Hampton Institute, Is Arthur Howe, Son-in-Law of Late Samuel C. Chapman, Founder of Hampton Institute, Is President Hampton, Va.-Arthur Howe, assistant professor of citizenship at Dartmouth College, has been elected president of Hampton Institute, succeeding the late Dr. George P. Phenix. The announcement that he was the unanimous choice of the trustees was made Saturday. November 29 at dedication of a memorial to Hollis Burke Frissell, Hampton's second principal, when Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, was the principal speaker. Mr. Howe will take up his new duties on January 1. His wife, Mrs. Margaret Howe, is a daughter of Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong, founder of Hampton. He was born in South Orange, N.J., March 3, 1890, and is a graduate of Hotchkiss School of Connecticut and Yale College. For three years he was a member of the varisty hockey team and football eleven, and in 1911 was football captain and All-American quarterback. He was graduated from the Union Theological Seminary in 1966, and has taught at College, Windsor, Gonn, the Tait School, and at Dartmouth. Following the exercises, at which Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones spoke in the auditorium on "Frisell of Hampton, Apostle of Spiritual Statesmanship in a Mechanistic Age," George Foster Pea- Employment Agent Complaint That Work Refuse to Employment Agencies Register Complaint That Applicants For Work Refuse to Accept Positions In the midst of the unemployment situation, when men, women and children are, standing in bread lines at least a block long, a large number of complaints are coming from employment agencies that they are having the same trouble in placing help. Even though it is true that work is scarce, it is hard to get men and women to take the positions which they are able to secure. The manager of an employment office located on West 131st street said that a man was sent to Washington Heights to take a janitor's position" in a high, class apartment house. When he got here, he decided that the salary was not exactly keeping with those paid during the war. Yet, before he left the office he knew the amount of salary offered. After several hours he returned to the office and said that he had decided not to take the job. As quickly as possible, the manager sent another man. When he arrived at the apartment house a white janitor was there ready to go to work. Reliable information came to the office that this man was working for the same salary offered the colored man. Another employment office offered a man a job as fireman. Because he was required to sleep at the place, he said, "There is nothing doing." Word comes from another agency located on West 153th street that a woman had been sitting in the office every day for four weeks waiting for the arrival of a position accompanied by a high salary. She did not know how to cook, and could not take a place where cooking was to be done. She could do first-class laundry work, but was not particular about going to a family where this part of the work was to be done by the rest. Under no circumstances would she take a position where there were children. A sleepin-job did not give her enough time out, and they were all tabooed. Finally, after spending every nickle she had during the past four weeks, she decided to take a position similar to the ones that she had refused, provided that she could pay the Miss Anna E. Lawson Honored on 4th Year As Principal P. S. 119 The fourth anniversary of Miss Anna E. Lawson as principal of Public School 119, Manhattan, was celebrated with a special program at that school Monday, December 1. A group of little girls from the glee club, under direction of Mrs. Willa Peace, sang a specially written song, dedicated to Miss Lawson, and there were expressions of appreciation on behalf of the teachers by Mrs. E. von Meske, assistant principal, and by Alderman Fred R. Moore, chairman of the Parents' Association. The words of the song which the girls sang for their principal were as follows L—is for the Lovely things she does for us. A—is for her Advice, so real and true. W-is for the Wisdom of her ways, so wise S-is for her Sense of right and good. O-is for the Order which she loves so well A word that means a world to us --- in-Law of Late man, Founder of tute, Is President body, trustees-emeritus of Hampton Institute, presented the tablet, which has been erected on the south side of the Hampton Memorial Church. It was unveiled by Mrs. Sydney, B. Frissell, daughter-in-law of Dr. Frissell, and accepted on behalf of school, Mr. How Seatwater, acting chairman of the board of trustees. Dr. William Jay Schieffelin of New York and other champions of Negro education took part. Movement Started in 1900 In his address Dr. Jones stated that the most obvious fruition of Hollis Burke Frissell's work and spirit began about 1900. The rifts and misunderstandings of Civil War continued rather actively until that time. Beginnings of cooperation had been made, but the leaders of the North and South had few contacts and fewer opportunities for real exchange. The Capon Springs Conference in Virginia marked the beginning of conferences, organizations and movements, whose influence and good wall and cooperation has continued to this day. "With discerning foresight, Dr. Frissell realized the potentialities of this conference and enlisted the generous help of George Foster Peabody, who brought to the constructive sympathy and wisdom made a lasting impression on all that has since followed." Dr. Jones said. nciies Register Applicants For to Accept Positions office fee later. She was sent to interview the madam, but did not take the work. Within a few days, when she did make up her mind to go to this same lady, the office was informed that a white girl had been employed. He said what was true of this woman had been true of many others. Several managers or employment offices told a representative of The Age that, in their opinion, it would not be long before college would be added to any prerequisites they change their attitude toward the employer. Meeting Is Held For White Rose Girls' Home A mass meeting inside of the White Rose Home for Working Girls was held at Grace Congregational Church last Sunday.

A large number of girls are being cared for in the home. A splendid musical program was rendered, with Ralph Dombard and Thomas Stake as guest soloists. Mrs Bruce and Lawer Thomas both took out membership in the Home. George W Allen was the promoter of this public meeting for the Home. Mr. & Mrs. Lewis B.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO SMALLS PARADISE ENTERTAINMENT Dining & Dancing --- IN WOMEN'S REALM Ruth R. Dennis, Editor BEAUTY AND HEALTH By OLIVIA D. TUCKER Pharmacist and Chemist Beautiful Fingernails In reference to pointed finger nails, there should never be a decided sharp point, which makes pretty finger nails assume the appearance of weapons of defence. The square nail needs filing down at the sides, the eaves should extend pretty well beyond the flesh. This form of grooming slenderizes. The short, round nail—you've seen them; they're like little pink buttons—should be allowed to grow to considerable length. They should be filed to a sharp point, and then the point must be rounded ever so slightly. Nails that are large, both wide and long omen with masculine hooks have them—should be kept short, with just enough of an eave to permit a white border. They should be filed at the side and should never extend beyond the finger end. For the average nail the perfect oval is desirable. When filing at the sides, be careful not to cause an abrasion. If there is a wound, nature will start up her process of rebuilding, and shortly afterwards the cuticle will become thick and heavy. Uiticle at the base of the nail must never be gut, but soaked in warm suds, anointed with cuticle cream, and loosened with the orange wood stick.

But there's always Castorial. Harmless as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. But its gait antiongethes a younger more surely than a more powerful medicine. That's the beauty of this special childcare remedy it may be given the times it often is there is need. In cases of cellulite or similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for just a few droops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset—this pure vegetable preparation is usually all that's needed. Fletcher's CASTORIA MY PHILOSOPHY RUTH R. DENNIS It is a good sign when women are proud of their work. You may be sure you cannot excel in it or understand your trade or occupation if you are- inclined to find fault with it, and to consider yourself an object of pity because you must of necessity earn your own livelihood. If you, freet your trade or occupation if you are inclined to find fault with it, and to consider yourself an object of pity because you must of necessity earn your own livelihood. If you feel about it, you will not only destroy all your own comfort but also that of your employers, and if you change your work you will often find that you have not improved your position. But on the contrary, if you put your heart into it and try to perform your daily tasks carefully and thoroughly, you will discover that happiness will radiate all around you and you will be the point of radiation, There is no station, profession or work in this life 'that has not its own peculiar' cares and vexations, and no woman especially can escape the annoyances of life whether wife, mother, housekeeper, dressmaker, factory worker, or woman. You must endure the inevitable burdens of life cheerfully. Women, would you have beautiful complexions; and wrinkle countenances? Look on the bright side always, and accept your lot uncomplainingly.

Tips on Baby's Menu By Commissioner Wynne 1-Healthful diet . . . for mother baby 2-Mother milk is best 3-Mother milk is best 3-Other milk must be kept cold and clean 4—Clean bottle, clean nipples, clean food 5—Regular feedings make regular health habits 6—Cod liver oil promotes growth—prevents rickets 7—Orange or tomato juice keeps sour away 8—Cereals and vegetables at six months 9-Careful dating means future happiness 10-Always consult the doctor as to baby's food Going beyond the Seven Ages of Man, by adding the period before birth. Health Commissioner Shireen O'Neill said of a series of radio talks on Diet and Health over Station WG7N. The series will cover the subject from infancy to old age, and the first paper dealt with the baby. Pointing out that even before birth the baby's diet is arranged by the fact that his mother must pay particular attention to what she eats if she would insure the health of her baby. He physical condition is always dependent on his mother's diet during the preceding months. Upon the baby's arrival the best food for him, said the Commissioner, is his mother's milk which contains all the ingredients necessary for his nourishment and growth. His mother's milk he can "drink straight" and is regulated in strength and quantity to meet his needs. Babies fed on mother's milk, said Dr Wynne, are less likely to suffer from digestive disturbances than are babies fed on cow's milk. When the latter is submitted it must be diluted and must be prepared according to a doctor's formula. He also pointed out that breast fed babies are afforded a protection against a disease which cannot obtain in any other milk or foods. The baby inherits a six months immunity from his mother, but after that he must acquire immunity for himself. So that doing it himself so that he more easily protected when breast fed than he would be otherwise. He is far less apt to contract childhood adruments than is the bottle fed baby.

Handy Hints Nose, ears or fingers which are frostbrittle turn white instead of red. If you are out of doors, rub the injured part with snow or ice. Rub the frozen part with snow ice, or plunge into cold water. Rub vigorously. Give the patient a little hot tea or coffee to drink. Apply heat gradually.

Dust-Proofing Floors Make Home Saleable By Flora du Barry For ten years we lived in an old house and it wasn't until a few months ago that we succeeded in keeping the floors clean, and free from dust. There must be thousands of families going through the experience we had, so I'm going to tell about how we not only solved a housewife's most vexing problem but also raised, tremendously, the saleable value of the house. I'll never forget the labor we spent on those old pine floors! There was the periodic varnishing the chaos, while that work was being done, the sticking smell to the house for what seemed-like weeks. And the money it cost! On course, it was worth it, even though varnished soft pine is a mighty poor substitute for hardwood floors. No matter what was done, the pine boards just would contract and expand and show cracks and crevices where dust and real dirt persisted in collecting. One day, we told our griefs to a neighbor, a lumberman. He chuckled and told us to climb out of the Civil War period and lay oak over the old boards. He recommended a floor layer. But we protested we could not afford new floors. He replied that a lot of tradepeople do that work on an installment basis and that for a few dollars a week we could have the entire house refrooled and with no inconvenience and dirt. He said oak would last for generations, never need repairs, would not collect dust and dirt, and that it would add many, many hundreds of dollars to the value of the property, besides making it valuable which it was not with a tree too. He told of many cases where house, had been the market for years and were not sold until refloored in oak over the old—and then brought hand-some profits. Well, we saw the floor layer and gave him a deposit far under what we had expected to pay and within an incredibly short time we were walking on our very own beautiful oak floors, the equal of those in the town's most aristocratic homes. And it was astonishing how little dirt and inconvenience the work occasioned—really much less than what we had before, when we varnished the old floors, the work was finished a few months ago and we have already had several really fine offers for the place. But it just means more to us than ever now and I guess we are not selling Several persons recently have spoken to me most encouragingly upon the progress of our "Woman's Page" I use the term "encouragingly" because it was just that, as 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 on Saturday, July 5. Address all correspondence to EDITOR OF WOMAN'S PAGE 230 West 135th Street, New York City.

HOGANS an AMERICA'S PREMIER BONIFACE ‘The plaint is. frequently heard, antong our people, of course, that the large hotel systems of the country do not employ Negro workers This is all too true; they do not, There is, however, one exception in this situation, one perhaps which is generally overlooked, To be sure, we do not, as arule, think of the -single exception: as a hotél system, yet that is more or less just what it is, Asa matter of fact, ‘te te aerina'e cemmtae’ hotel evetien: OM This boniface is the Pullman organization, which might casjly be termed the titanie of hotel sy5- tems, It earns the descriptionyfor several reasons, namely, because its personnel of, employees 18 the largest, the number of guests it accommodates during a year is greatest, and because its opera- tions are the most eatensive of any single hotel system through- out the world, It is perhaps even greater than any. two systems combined, “ Therefore, while the hotel field has been conspicuously narrowed for Negro workers in“late years, one of its largest operators still employ them in nouceable num- bers. : But aside from the racial pha'se, as a hotel keeper the Pullman or- Ranization presents some interest. ing figures in connection with its operation.

PAGE TEN STORES REAL ESTATE 145 WEST 135TH STREET Bradhurst 0670-0671 Boston University's President Is Opposed to Segregation, He Says Following Protests From Committee By Rienzi B. Lemus Boston, Mass.—Negroes will be allowed to reenter Boston University's College of Medicine, from which they have been eliminated for five or more years because of race—at least such is the inescapable logical sequence of the recently published statement of President Marsh of the University that he is opposed to discrimination on account of race or color, and that it shall not be permitted in the institution. Dr. Marsh's statement was in answer to the protest, of a colored committee against segregation of colored students at Sargent's School of Physical Education for Girls in Cambridge, Boston University acquired jurisdiction over Sargent's about two years ago, and it wag at the beginning of this school term that B. U. authorities ordered all colored girls there to live under the same roof, which brought the protest which in turn brought the president's unequivocal declaration against racial discrimination within his jurisdiction. Has No Dormitories Until now the general understanding was that colored girls were barred from Sargent's dormitories, in which they had always lived, and arbitrarily quartered in the home of a colored couple of Cambridge. But it has developed that, strictly speaking, Sargent's never had dormitories. There were a few cottages on its campus, in none of which colored girls ever lived. Instead, they lived where they desired to; and it was the B U. order that all live in the same person's home that brought the segregation protests by a protecting committee of colored folk. Nevertheless, there was and is racial discrimination against Negroes in the College of Medicine, even though the fact has completely escaped attention of colored Boston—which has made the club famous for ACE, protestion as someone else made it noted for baked beans. Medical College Doors Open Return of qualified Negro students to the tamed H' U. Medical College shall be a great boom to the colored end of the medical profession, and the prospect is hailed here with much enthusiasm. Among colored physicians from B' U, are Dr. Henry C. Turner of this city; Drs. Thos' H. Amos of New York, Charles Harris of Jersey City, and Dr. Harold Amos of Yonkers, N. Y., health board—last Negro to get a B. U. degree. Presently, it appears as though the wiping out of discrimination at the Medical College was the "victory" of the unduly magnified "segregation" at Sargent's Thanksgiving Dinners Given Harlem Needy Poor Continued from Page One) received from Metropolitan Baptist Church Knights Templars One of the most striking features of Thanksgiving Day was the annual treat given poor children in Harlem by Ascension Commandery, No. 6, Knights Templar, Junius M. Green, eminent commander. This marked the eighth year that this organization has entertained the children, without regard to race, creed or color. Through the courtesy of Manager Frank Schiffman, the Lafayette Theatre was opened at 10 a.m. with its full staff of attendants and 800 children rushed into the building so witness a thrilling movie picture show. When the last flicker left the screen, the kiddies were married into line, escorted by the Enterprise Female-Band of Eureka Temple No. 22, Daughter Elks, and marched to Mother A. M. E. Zion Church Community House, West 16th street, where they were seated at tables that filled the large dining room and feasted until their stomachs could hold no more Other members of the Commander, besides Eminent Commander Green, composing the committee were E. Frank Shipley, recorder; Alfed R. Smith, P. C., chairman of the dinner committee; Detective Sergeant Samuel J. Battle, P. C.; William C. Elkins, R. B. Bennett; Dr. Joseph H. H. Riley, George H.

St. Martin's Chapel 250 dinners were served to the poor aged and infirm by the St. Martin's P. E. Chapel, the Rev. John Howard Johnson, viscer, in its building at Lenox avenue and 122nd street. Members of the congregation, owning automobiles, volunteered their service in transporting the old folks to and from the church. In addition to the 250 fed at the church, fifty baskets containing food for Thanksgiving dinner were sent to the homes of aged and infirm members unable to be present in person. Preceding the serving of dinner, a Thanksgiving service was held, attended by the dinner guests as well as members of the congregation. One attractive feature was the presence of about 75 or more small children. Others present included several disabled ex-soldiers and THE NEW YORK AGE NIES SEGRE s President Is negation, He Says, its From Committee were pro parting s Lafaye Unemp The Su at the L. 23 by R Amsterdam Lew Les were proposed.

Harlem Committee Gives Out 153 Baskets For Thanksgiving Day The Harlem Cooperating Committee on Relief and Unemployment the Rev Shelton Hale Bishop, directing head, gave 153 Thanksgiving baskets to needy families and also supplied 200 baskets to Mother Zion Church for their Thanksgiving distribution. The committee which has offices at 111 West 135th street, sent out letters to interested friends asking for $3 contributions, which would supply a family of six with a Thanksgiving dinner. These letters and personal work netted $338.25. There were also two large gifts, one of $100 and one of $150.

One of the passing events of Thanksgiving Day that left its imprint upon the minds of the constituents, was the opening of The Spirit of God Movement, Inc., at its headquarters, 757-701 Jackson avenue Bronx, New York, a three-story fireproof building, dimension 75 by 100 feet. This organization was founded by Dr. D. D. Lewis a little over one year ago. It was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, and had been doing work among mankind, irrespective of race or creed. On Thanksgiving Day the doffs of the headquarters were thrown open. At 11:30 a.m., divine service was held in the chapel. Dr. G. E. Stewart conducted the preliminary service. Dr. Lewis gave an address on the aims and objects of the movement. The Thanksgiving sermon was preached by Dr. Theodore W Larsen; subject "Go Forward." Musician was furnished by Profs. H. B. P. Johnson and Harry Moore. At the close of the service a group picture, and the building were taken, after which a Thanksgiving dinner was served. Provision was made for 500 persons. Resides this 53 baskets were distributed.
