Chelsea Bank Closing Hits Harlem Clearing House To Stop 'Numbers' END OF NUMBERS RACKET IN SIGHT AS NEW YORK CLEARING HOUSE MOVES TO DISCONTINUE DAILY PUBLICATION OF DIGITS The lottery game known as "numbers," which has been reaping a harvest in Harlem for the past five or six years, will no longer flourish, if plans now under way by the clearing house committee of the New York Clearing House become effective. This committee plans to end the publication of its daily clearances, balances and the Federal Reserve. Bank credit balance in the daily press after January 1. Certain digits of these figures are the basis for the popular "numbers" game. To check the use of the figures for this purpose the Clearing House some years ago decided to make them public only in round numbers. The figures are posted every morning on a blackboard in the lobby of the Clearing House at 77 Cedar street. The system of deciding on the winning number is to combine the second and third digits of the bank clearings and the third digit of the bank balance. As an illustration, the clearings on Monday were $589, 000,000 and the balance $116,000,000. Under this system the winning number for these totals was 896. The odds are as high as 600 to 1 and the daily collections are said to run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is reported that Wall Street is acting in the interest of the credit business houses and insurance companies by discontinuing publication of the figures and thus stopping the game. The credit houses, industrial insurance agents and small business men have been having tough sledding in Harlem for the past two or three years. Many of their customers have been using their surplus funds to play the "numbers," and frankly tell the agents for the business concerns that they will pay up their installments or insurance when they make a "hit." Some of the "numbers" bankers are dubious about the possibility of suppressing the information on which the game is based. Send N. Y.

When Stokes turned his back to look out the door to see whether or not anybody was looking in, he was shot in the back and leg by Small.

Undertaker Witherspoon May Lose License for Unethical Conduct Buried Stranger in Family Plot Court Gives Verdict of $40, Cost of Grave Against Him, But Family Is Appealing on Ground That Verdict Is Insufficient Charges of unethical conduct have been filed against Undertaker James W. H. Witherspoon, jr., one of Harlem's best known morticians, in both the Metropolitan Funeral Director's Association of 25 West 43rd street and with the Department of State, Albany, N. Y., which issues licenses to undertakers and embalmers in this state. 2,250 Chickens To Fire Sweeps Old Harlem Poor On Harlem Opera Christmas Eve House On December 12, Mrs. Lucy, Jenkins of 614 St. Nicholas avenue won a verdict of $40 and costs from Mr. Witherspoon for illegally burying a stranger in her family plot at St. Michael's Cemetery. Mrs Jenkins sued for $1,000 damages when it was discovered that the unauthorized burial had been made. Her attorney, H. Bustace Williams, at 2350 Seventh avenue, has brought a motion before the Supreme Court to set aside the verdict as insufficient on the ground that Justice Morris in the Seventh District Municipal Court failed to take into account the humiliation, delay and additional cost in the burial of another member of the family. Mrs. Jenkins suffered when the umertakers "desecration" of their family plot was discovered. Justice Morris awarded the plaintiff damages only to the amount of the cost of a new grave. The original complaint against Mr. Witherspoon states that he purchased a plot for Mrs. Jenkins in St. Michel's Cemetery at the time of the death of her husband, the late Walter Jenkins, in 1912, and that the plot contained burial accommodations for three bodies. On January 31, 1915, another member of the family, a grand-daughter, died and was buried in this plot. When on June 21, 1930, a third member of the family, Anna Jen- 2,250 Chickens To Harlem Poor On Christmas Eve P. S. 119 is celebrating the Christmas season by dispensing 50 Christmas dinner baskets to the needy families of pupils in that school. In addition, the school is dividing large quantity of toys between the St. Benedict Catholic Day Nursery on 132nd street and the Hope Day Nursery, on 133rd street, both between Fifth and Lenox avenues. No distribution of food was made by the Police Department on Friday of last week. All supplies were held over for distribution on Christmas Live, except that officers on the 28th Precinct stationed at the West 123nd street station, distributed 300 hams on Saturday. On Christmas Eve, the police of the 32nd Precinct, the West 130th station, near Edgecombe avenue, under Capt Frank Brady, are preparing to carry joy into 1350 homes of the needy poor, to those families in which there are children. Each basket will contain a plump chicken, in addition to the other concomitants which go to make up the regular baskets of food. On the same day, at the 123rd street station, commanded by Capt James Wall, 700 baskets, each one including a chicken, were distributed. kins, age 2, also a grand child, died, it was discovered that there was no room left in the plot for its burial. Mr. Witerspoon admitted than on February 19, 1915 he had buried one Jenette Schavers in the third grave and he explained his action by saying that Mrs. Jenkins daughter had given him permission to do so. This was denied by the plaintiff's lawyer and Mr. Witerspoon was unable to produce the young woman in court to substantiate his story. It was explained by Mrs. Jenkins that she permitted the undertaker to hold the deed to the plot, she accepting only a receipt with the number and a description, etc. Mr. Witerspoon offered to pay Mrs. Jenkins $20 for the grave he had used illegally but when she found that a new grave would cost her $40, she refused to accept his check and the matter was placed in the hands of her lawyer. Now Attorney Williams is not only suing the undertaker for money damages but is also demanding the removal of the body of the stranger from the Jenkins' family plot and filing a complaint against him with Metropolitan Funeral Directors' Association and the State Department which grants licenses to all undertakers doing business in this state. Fire Sweeps Old Harlem Opera House Fire which broke out early Monday morning in the old Harlem Opera building at 211 West 125th street, for a time threatened to spread through adjoining buildings. It was one of the most spectacular blazes seen in New York in recent months Traffic was at a standstill for more than an hour as two water towers and a score of hoose lines pumped water into the building in which Oscar Hammerstein, who built the building in 1890, once provided musical shows and light opera for the uplown theatre goers. Once during the long fight, as firemen were breaking into the miniature golf course on the second floor, there was an explosion, but there were no injuries and the principal damage was to the many windows which were shattered by the concussion. The-old auditorium, away from the building proper, was spared, as the fire swept toward Seventh avenue. The auditorium is now used by the M & S Harlem Theatre. Police and fire officials have not determined how the blaze started in the top floor where scenery was stored. Damage was estimated to have been about $80,000. Transit Commission Urged To Order Discontinuance of Bus Transfers At 125th Street and 7th Avenue Alderman Moore Again Asks Chairman Mullen To Relieve Harlemites of Inconvenience And Discomfort of Present Operation Aderman Fred R. Moore of the 19th A. D. is in receipt of a communication from William G. Fullen, chairman of the Transit Commission, 270 Madison avenue, advising that the matter of installing through service from Washington Heights via Seventh avenue (busses Nos. 2 and 7) by the Fifth Avenue Coach Co. is being investigated by the Commission. Formal opening of the Seventh avenue extension from 151st to 155th street and the dedication of the park at the end of the avenue, was held Friday afternoon, December 19, with His Honor Mayor James J. Walker officiating When John D. Rockefeller Jr. decided to erect the Dunbar Apartments and to improve his other property in that vicinity, his architect, Andrew J. Thomas, suggested that instead of having the double curve approach to the 155th street viaduct from Seventh avenue, the roadway be straightened out so that automobiles could approach the viaduct directly from Seventh avenue Mr. Rockefeller agreed to pay all expenses for these improvements, which cost over $000,000. Under Mr. Thomas direction the shore front along the Harlem River was rearranged and beautified: Seventh avenue, which formerly terminated on the river shore front, has been raged from 151st street to meet the Central Bridge and vaduct over 155th street. In addition the Harlem Lane Park was laid out and beautified. As part of the general plan, 152nd and 153rd, streets were regulated and graded from McCombs Dam place to Harlem river. Mayor Walker was accompanied by Borough Président Julius Muller and several other city officials. Transit Commission Discontinuance of At 125th Street Alderman Moore Again len To Relieve Harlem And Discomfort of Aderman Fred R. Moore receipt of a communication chairman of the Transit avenue, advising that the m service from Washington H (busses Nos. 2 and 7) by th is being investigated by the This communication was in answer to one sent by Mr. Moore suggesting that this change be made because of the serious inconvenience suffered by the large number of people who live on Washington Heights in the Edgertoncom and St. Nicholas avenues sector who use the Fifth avenue buses in going to and from their work in the lower sections of the city. This need for a change in routing of the buses was called to the attention of the Transit Commission as early as April 2, 1900, when Mr. Moore asked for the installing of the through service so as to eliminate the bother of transfers which had to be made, on many occasions, in extremely cold and inclement weather. At that time, Chairman Fullen, after a conference with the vice-president and general manager of the Fifth Avenue Coach Co., stated that the distance involved would be too great, as a round-trip from Washington Square to 168th street and Broadway on the heights would approximate -21 miles, and that congestion on lower Fifth avenue would make it impossible to maintain regular schedules. To this, Alderman Moore rephased that the distance from Washington Square to Fort George, terminal of No. 3, which runs through St. Nicholas avenue, is much longer than that traversed by buses Nos. 2 and 7, covering the Fifth and Seventh avenues line through to Washington freights. "PURSUANT TO SECTION 57 OF THE STATE BANKING LAWS, I HAVE THIS DAY TAKEN OVER THE CHELSEA BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, 20 EAST 45th STREET,—JOSEPH A. BRODERICK, SUPERINTENDENT OF BANKS." This statement, posted at the Chelsea Bank on the corner of 135th street and Seventh avenue, Tuesday, December 23, at 2 p. m., caused Harlem's suffering to greatly increase, for hundreds of depositors now cannot withdraw any of their money until the bank reopens. The bank closed in Harlem about a half hour after the downtown branches had closed their doors. The action of the State Banking Department followed a run which started early Monday. So great were the number of persons in line on Monday that the bank could not close its doors until after 10 p.m. Many of the clerks stayed at the bank all night getting their accounts straightened out for the opening Tuesday. In Urged To Order of Bus Transfers and 7th Avenue In Asks Chairman Mul- ites of Inconvenience Present Operation more of the 19th A. D. is in from William G. Fullen, Commission, 270 Madison matter of installing through heights via Seventh avenue the Fifth Avenue Coach Co. Commission. Mr. Moore took on the matter with the Transit Commission again on December 16, reminding Chairman Fullen that the winter is now upon the people, and that necessity of having to transfer from one bus to another at 125th street and Seventh avenue is working a hardship upon the people in that there is absolutely no protection from the weather afforded them at this point, at which at times they had to wait five or ten minutes for a bus. This was characterized as a menace to health of the passengers. Dr. Moton Improving Rochstester, N. Y—Dr. R. R. Morton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who underwent an operation at the Strong Memorial Hospital here on December 13, is getting along nicely. He is expected to remain in the hospital for about two weeks longer. Mrs. Moton is remaining with him through the Christmas' holidays. BISHOP W. T. VERNON IN CITY Bishop W. T. Vernon of Detroit, Mich, a visitor in New York over the weekend. The Bishop arrived in the city for a brief visit after spending some time in Washington, D.C. attending a church conference While in the city he was a caller at The Age office. When the bank opened Tuesday morning, hundreds of depositors were already lined up and made a rush for the doors. Police from the West 130th street police station were called and they quickly restored order and handled the large crowd in an orderly manner. A few depositors were allowed into the bank at a time. With four tellers working fast, and with others helping to check up the accounts, many left the bank with their money. Several of the large chain stores and many of the business people showed their confidence in the bank by making their regular deposits. Then at two o'clock word circulated through the crown that the bank was going to close. More police were called under Capt. Frank Brady and they quickly took charge of the situation. At 2 o'clock a notice was posted on the door of the bank that the bank had been taken over by the State. When interviewed by a reporter of the New York Age Mr Heims, vice-president of the bank could give no information. He said that he had tried hard to see that all those who had money on deposit at the bank, and who had come there to withdraw their money, were accommodated. But at 2 o'clock the bank was closed.

Lincoln Nurses Akumae Deny That They Are Unfair To Colored Labor As Charged by Mechanics Association Some time ago a local paper carried a story charging that the Alumnae Association of the Lincoln School for NurSES had refused to award a contract "for erecting a recreational center to the Colored Mechanics Association." The president of the alumnae group, Miss Margaret N. Creth, R.N., who is also assistant superintendent of the Harlem branch of the Henry Street Visiting Nurses, declares that the charge was without foundation. She states that the nurses were not erecting a center, but remodeling their club house at 323 West 138th street, and that the contract for this work was originally awarded to the colored mechanics by a formal vote. She also doc. res that the nurses were willing to advance $1,200 to meet initial, emergency requirements, and to provide, through a local bank, $5,500 as the work advanced so the mechanics could have a weekly payroll available, although the contract provided for payment on completion of the job. In addition, the president says that the nurses' association was willing to guarantee the bond. But, according to Miss Creth, when final arrangements were to be tary; George Simmonds, treasurer William Broughton, recording secretary; Leon Gaillard, sergeant at-arms; James H. Jones, chapplain; Vinson Pryor, master of social session; Edward W.

SPECIAL FEATURES completed, in going over the contract with the architect, the Colored Mechanics' Association was unable to make satisfactory adjustments in regard to many provisions of the contract and 'also as to the figure they had submitted. When the mechanics failed to get the contract, they denounced the nurses as being opposed to colored workmen. Their denouncement was made through the article referred to and to the workers themselves. Hearing of this attitude, the executive committee of the Alumnae Association, Louise M. Russell, R. N. chairman, asked the mechanic for a conference, at which time the nurses insisted their minutes and copies of all correspondence hearing upon the matter. But, according to Miss Creth, the men assumed an unreasonable position, making only verbal statements, and refused to accept any explanation. The Alumnae Association is now in its 30th year, and its members represent women in all branches of Public Health work, executive and field, who are affiliated with welfare work among all ages. The assertive women of race is their only power, and wish to put themselves on record as supporting every race organization when opportunity is presented. Christmas Program of Parents' Association P.

Mrs. Helen Lyons Rescues Monkey When Fire Guts Dr. Hayes' Corona Office Mrs. Helen Lyons Rescues Monkey When Fire Guts Dr. Hayes' Corona Office Virginia, L. I. N. Y.-When fire started Thursday, December 18, in an adjoining building, spread to the three story building at 10100 Northern boulevard where, Dr. Forest Hayes, Flushing physician, has his offices, a small monkey owned by Dr. Hayes was trapped in the blazing building. Firemen who answered the alarm were busy putting out the fire unaware of the fact that the monkey was in the building, until Mrs. Helen Lyons, a close friend of Dr. Hayes, broke through the fire lines and rushed into the building. On the second floor where Dr. Hayes offices are, Mrs. Lyons took the monkey from the kitchen and took in room adjoining the reception room. She brought the monkey out into the street and, soon afterwards, Dr Hayes appeared on the scene and took charge of his pet. The fire completely gutted the reception room and another room in the doctor's suite but did not damage any of his surgical instruments. The boiler was not injured by the fire due to the quick action of Mrs. Larsen. The one-man trolley cars that have been used on the Fulton street line for sometime, have been causing complaints ever since their use. Last week, Miss Alice F. Thompson, the well known club, church and fraternal worker of 188 Lefferts place, voiced her displeasure in a letter to a Brooklyn daily paper. In her letter Miss Thompson said in part: "One waits from ten minutes to half an hour any time of day for a car, and then they are packed so that it makes it hard to get out, especially this time of the year when most every one has a bachelor." Miss Thompson took others in also complaining against the lack of service to Fulton Ferry. This service would enable many who are employed on Columbia Heights or have business there to go nearer to the Heights. In her final statement Miss Thompson asserted: "Think our Borough of Brooklyn, with its growing population should do away with the one-man cars and give the service that will be in keeping with its financial statement, and with two men on each car the unemployment situation would be helped." One mother in her complaint tells of getting off a Fulton Street car with her 3-year old son, and before she was able to take him off his foot was caught in the door and only the thoughtfulness of a passenger near the door, saved the child from possible serious injury A Correction Counsellor William S.

The violation of the Sullivan law, according to the police, was due to one of the three men having been hired to shoot Fitzgerald for the pilfering of the watch. Rayfield McTeague, who is twenty-three years old, is alleged to have claimed that Fitzgerald who lives on Bergen street, stole his watch and pawned it, and then gave McTeague the ticket, so according to the police, McTeague hired Frank Talbert, who is nineteen, to go out and shoot Fitzgerald for $25. The $25 looked good to Talbert; and he lost no time in getting over to Fitzgerald's home, taking a reseller that he claims that McTeague gave him. But some how Talbert lost his nerve, and thought that it would be a good plan to hire another colored boy to do the same thing him. The girl went naked, according to the police, was Edward Cooper, also nineteen years old. The two of them, contractor and sub-contractor, thought that it would not be a bad idea to go back to McTeague and collect the money as evidence of good faith The discussion over payment of the $25 became so heated between the giver of the contract, the contractor and the subcontractor, in McTeague's apartment, that neighbors were constrained to call in the law. Detective Frank Lyons responded and arrested the three men for violation of the Sullivan law. Thus the murder job was halted, and the giver of the contract, the contractor and subcontractor are in the grip of the law. It also shows how the law work. While only one man possessed the gun when the detective arrested, the alleged stranger caused all three to be shot. Since it was like a triple play in baseball, the gun had passed, the police say, from McTeague to Talbert to Cooper, and as each admitted possession of it at one time or another, the three were held in $1,000 bail each, when they appeared before Magistrate Huches in the Flatbush Court, for a further hearing. According to last reports, Mr. Fitzgerald, the intended victim was alive and enjoying the best of health. Aged Brooklynite Dies Funeral services were held at Bridge Street A M E Church for Mrs. Elizabeth Henderson, one of the oldest, if not the oldest, colored women in Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon, December 14.

James Weldon Johnson Is Still Secretary of Advancement Association James Weldon Johnson Is Still Secretary of Advancement Association Published reports that James Wiedon Johnson had resigned his position as executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, were denied by Mr. Johnson to a representation of The Age. Mr. Johnson, who was granted a lease of absence a year ago, stated that his leave did not expire until January 1, and that he thought it would be renewed to permit him to complete some literary work he is now doing.

The reports published in a Hagstah weekly stated that Mr. Johnson had tendered his resignation at the annual meeting early this month when a springam was elected the Association's president, and stated that Mr. Johnson had accepted a professorship in Atlanta, University. Rumors that James Weldon Johnson had quit the National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People'because of dissension, were branded as raise in a statement by Walter White, acting secretary. Mr White said: 'Rumors that Mr Johnson has resigned as secretary of the N. A. C. P. because of dissension, are unfounded. He will be one of the principal speakers, as has been publicly announced at the annual mass meeting of the Association on Sunday, January 1, in St Marks, M. K.

Help Xmas Seal Sale to Help Harlem MERRY CHRISTMAS 1910 HEAR CHRISTMAS with its joy and good will—why not extend its spirit over the whole year? The fund from the sale of Christmas seals in December will carry help and education against tuberculosis throughout all 1931. The National, State & Local Tuberculosis Associations of the United States The help of everyone in Harlem is badly needed to keep up the fight against tuberculosis. The Christmas Seal Sale is falling behind last year's returns. This is serious, because tuberculosis needs are already increasing, due to unemployment. The work of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee described so often in this paper is supported entirely by contributions which are sent in return for the Christmas Seals. Thousands of local people receive the seals in the mail and contribute. Those who have received the seals, and want to help should send their checks to Thomas W. Lamont, treasurer, New York Tuberculosis, and Health Association, P. O. Box 88, Station F, New York City Gifts of SI to SI are particularly needed. Any amount is welcome. Surely the readers of the New York Age will want to help in this work which means so much in lives saved in Harlem. Those who have not received the seals may secure them by calling at the office of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee, 108 West 160th street. Please help today!

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to THE NEW YORK AGE To offset the idea that the present government of Haiti is hostile to foreigners and to the introduction of foreign capital, the new President of that republic, Stenio Vincent, gave a written statement to representative Knutson of Minnesota, who has recently returned from a visit to that island. Mr. Knutson, in making public this statement, said that he had been going to Haiti off and on for fifteen years, and that during that period the island had made wonderful progress in sanitation, road building and in the preservation of law and order. In his statement President Vincent, the first Haitian President in fifteen years to be chosen by the representatives of the people of the island in their national assembly, sought to correct the impression that the Haitian government or its people are anti-white or anti-American. He admitted it was true that the people and the government officials have expressed their opposition to the American occupation of Haiti, for the excellent reason that "the activities and usurpation of powers by the officials of the occupation have far exceeded the contemplation of the treaty of 1915." Nevertheless, the new President wished to say to the people of the United States and other countries, in most positive terms, that Haiti is glad to have Americans, as well as other foreigners, come to that country for the purposes of agricultural development and the investment of capital. He said that Haiti had not attained the same degree of experience in business lines as its American neighbors and it welcomed experience and capital. He emphasized the need of experience, because capital without experience is usually lost. Capital invested in Haiti, under the same conditions of preparatory investigation and business management required in the United States, he was confident would give a good return on the investment. President Vincent gave warning that the adventurer and speculator of the promoter type was not wanted in Haiti, but to the bonafide organization with experience and capital. Haiti stands ready to extend a welcome and all the assistance required to promote legitimate business ends. The resources of the island were limited to those of a tropical country. There are large areas of land of unsurpassable richness capable of producing sugar, cotton, coffee, cocoa, citrus fruits, etc., awaiting the development through the application of experience and capital. Labor up to the present time has been cheap and abundant. Evidently President Vincent wishes to impress upon the American people that Haiti is no place for the get-rich-quick type of adventurer, who is always seeking to exploit primitive races and peoples. Neither is the Caribbean republic a spot to attract the unemployed of any other country or race, whose capital consists of their brain and brawn. Only those who possess enough capital to give them a start in acquiring land, with the necessary experience in tropical agriculture can hope to succeed there. The statement, is explicit enough on these two points to prevent any misunderstanding of the situation. President Vincent's statement is couched in such temperate and conciliatory terms as to command confidence and respect. CHRISTMAS GIVING One of the results of the widespread wave of unemployment and consequent appeals for aid to help those who are unable to find work, has been the anticipation and extension of the old custom of Christmas gifts, only in this case the giving has sought to include those most in need of assistance. Beside the usual Christmas agencies for spreading good cheer, the police have been acting as amature Santa Clauses for several weeks in the distribution of food and clothing among the poor and destitute. The schools and the teachers have taken an active part in relieving the wants of these pupils and their families who lacked for the necessaries of existence. Nearly all the churches arranged to provide Christmas dinners for the needy among their members, not forgetting those who are not of the fold. The spirit of giving has had a wider application this Christmastide than ever before, as shown by the number of benefit performances given for the unemployed, and the volunteer organizations doing their bit to relieve the situation. Only last week The Age, had occasion to acknowledge a donation of ten dollars from a girls club to the fund for aiding the unemployed poor. This was just a young club of twelve girls, who desired to do their bit toward aiding in the work of relief. Members of the theatrical profession, as usual, have been most generous in lending their services to entertainments given to aid the unemployed. One of the most notable achievements of this kind was the means of augmenting the police fund to the amount of one thousand dollars one day last week. Commissioner Mulrooney announced that Bill Robinson, the famous dancer and entertainer, had called at headquarters and presented his check for that amount to help the unemployed. Mr. Robinson also gave the Salvation Army seven hundred and fifty dollars and five hundred dollars to Father Shanley, pastor of the Catholic Church of St. Benedict the Moor. Mr. Robinson is one of the most successful entertainers of our race and his work for charitable objects has been given for the benefit of all races. In the meantime, while the smaller contributions were coming in for the immediate relief of pressing demands for food and colthing, the fund to provide emergency jobs for the jobless went over the top, to amount of $8,269,000. The final returns were expected to add more to this amount. This fund is to back up the creation of jobs for heads of families who are without work. The committee that undertook to raise the fund was formed in September and a campaign carried on for six week, under the chairmanship of Seward Prosser, the banker. With the completion of the fund to the amount deemed necessary, the chairman said that he wanted the affairs of this committee to go off the front pages, so that people could go ahead and do their Christmas shopping. From the richest to the poorest, the people of New York appear to have rallied to the cause of Christmas giving, preparatory to the celebration of that Christian festival. It has shown that the heart of the city still beats for humanity and that a great emergency will evoke a ready response from all classes of its citizens. . PROTECTING THE CHILD. A complete stenographic record, consisting of fifty-six pages, of the White House conference on Child Health and Protection, held last November, has been published as a supplement to the United States Daily. The fundamental purpose of this conference was to set forth an understanding of the safeguards which could assure to the children of the nation health in mind and body. The problem of childhood was divided into three groups: First, the protection and stimulation of the normal child; second, aid to the physically defective and handicapped child; third, the problems of the delinquent child. Out of forty-five million children it was reported that thirty-five million are reasonably normal. Of the other ten million six millions were improperly nourished while the other four million suffered either from defective speech, weak or damaged hearts, presented behavior problems, were mentally retarded, tubercular, deaf or with impaired hearing, partly or wholly blind, or crippled. Two hundred thousand were classed as delinquent, while five hundred thousand were dependent. Eighty per cent of those who were abnormal were not receiving the necessary attention to remedy their deficiencies. Among the recommendations made by the Committee on Family and Parent education was this significant paragraph: A complete stenographic record, consisting of fifty-six pages, of the White House conference on Child Health and protection, held last November, has been published as a supplement to the United States Daily.

Eighty per cent of those who were abnormal were not receiving the necessary attention to remedy their deficiencies. Among the recommendations made by the Committee on Family and Parent education was this significant paragraph: "Special attention should be paid to the Negro family in order that he may attain that economic security necessary for stable family life and may be assisted to the attainment of higher ideals of family life." Mr. W. W. Alexander called attention to the need for a broader economic foundation for Negro life, in order to regulate the matter of vocational guidance. Among other speakers who called special attention Mr. W. W.. Alexander called attention to the need for a broader economic foundation for Negro life, in order to regulate the matter of vocational guidance. Among other speakers who called special attention to the cause of Negro childhood were Mrs. Mary McLeod, Bethune of Florida; Mrs. Sally Stewart, president of the National Association of Colored Women; Florence Williams of Little Rock, Ark.; Engle, K. Jones of the National Urban League. The last named made the suggestion that Mothers' aid should be extended to include Negro mothers, as in most states it is difficult for Negro mothers. to secure mothers' aid. He also emphasized the desirability of having Negro dependents handled by agencies responsible for the whole community, rather than to organize special agencies, and that wherever possible there should be Negro representation in administration and in support of these agencies. In handling the question of racial problems presented in the care of the handicapped, Dr. C. C. Carstens set forth the following conditions: Child dependency has been greatly affected by differences in race and nationality, and by mass migration. The Negro, Mexican, Porto Rican, and the Indian dependent and neglected children each present special problems of great importance to this nation. The customs, traditions, the mass migrations and other special factors call for specialized methods of meeting these needs. The same general principles of adequate income, wholesome working and living conditions apply to the children of these families as they apply to others. This is accepted in theory by leaders in health and welfare work but in practice realization is far behind. That is the weakness of the entire racial problem in this country today: that the economic system is so one-sided that the principles of an adequate income and wholesome living and working conditions are not attainable for the members of certain groups, of which the Negro is the most conspicuous. Hence, the reason why practical realization runs so far behind theory in health and welfare work. In order to protect the children, the parents and workers must be given a square deal in the economic system. SOUTHERN PRUDENCE. The "Chattanooga Times," in dissect matter of "The South and Restoration," recently came to the same opinion that "ordinary prudence is him to dictate that the South learnt through alone." This was in connon with the effort of the dry leaders of South and the agricultural malcony the West to combine their forces down the representation of the industrial centers of the East. Yet this threat, one of the Eastern natives proposed a retaliatory move against the South. Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts who has repeatedly introduced measures to reduce representation of Southern States in Congress or found that the suffrage is denied to the Northern and Eastern states serving as a basis for repression. The threat apparently has to attempt to eliminate the alien person to pause and to consider why can afford to lay themselves open with a retaliatory measure. The Chattanooga paper came rarely against the unwisdom of movement. After quoting the Fourthendment, it said that considering its meaning of this provision in constitution, together with the dissentance laws of the Southern states would appear that these states are accustomed to jon the West in a dry agricultural drive for reduction of the repression of wet industrial centers of North and East because of alien eleven their population." While The Age has never favored reduction of representation as a prothon of dealing with the quest for franchisement in the South, it has more given Representative Tinkham credit for acting in good faith in his efforts to enforce that provision. But it would appear that the threat merely to make the South take the editor of the Chattanooga paper done The 'Chattanooga Times' in discussing the matter of "The South and Reaportionment," recently came to the same conclusion that "ordinary prudence would seem to dictate that the South let well enough alone." This was in connection with the effort of the dry leaders of the South and the agricultural malcontents of the West to combine their forces and cut down the representation of the large wet industrial centers of the East. To meet this threat, one of the Eastern representatives proposed a retaliatory measure against the South. Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts who has repeatedly introduced measures to reduce representation of the Southern States in Congress on the ground that the suffrage is denied to the Negro population, threatened again to press such a measure. This was to meet the attempt to eliminate the alien population of the Northern and Eastern cities from serving as a basis for representation. The threat apparently has given the Southern supporters of the measure reason to pause and to cosider whether they can afford to lay themselves open to such a retaliatory measure. The Chattanooga paper came out squarely against the unwisdom of the movement. After quoting the Fourteenth amendment, it said that considering the clear meaning of this provision of the constitution, together with the disfranchisement laws of the Southern states, "it would appear that these states are in no position to join the West in a dry agricultural drive for reduction of the representation of wet industrial centers of the North and East because of alien elements in their population." While The Age has never favored the reduction of representation as a proper method of dealing with the question of disfranchisement in the South, it has heretofore given Representative Tinkham credit for acting in good faith in his efforts to enforce that provision. But this time it would appear that the threat was merely to make the South take water, which the editor of the Chattanooga paper has done NEW RULER FOR INDIA The naming of a new viceroy for the person of Lord Willingdon, the governor General of Canada, is sign that the choice of King Georgeown as a champion of reforms is. It was noted that the Hindu saints now gathered in London and table conference welcomed the The naming of a new viceroy for India in the person of Lord Willingdon, former Governor General of Canada, is significant in that the choice of King George is known as a champion of reforms for Indians. It was noted that the Hindus and Moslems now gathered in London at a round table conference welcomed the appointment and pointed out the fact that in a speech made several years ago at a church congress in England, he said: "We must realize that it is not the color of a man but the character inside that counts." The post of viceroy for India is at present considered the most important and responsible within the gift of the crown. The Prime Minister, Mr. McDonald, the head of the Labor Party, at first proposed to the King a Labor peer who was distinguished for this record. Objections were made from India, which led to the suggestion that the premier himself take the Indian post. Finally the appointment of Lord Willingdon appeared to meet the views of all sides. He was raised to the House of Lords by the Labor party, although he was a liberal. As such he was appointed by Premier Asquith as Governor of Bombay province and by Premier COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS Lloyd, George as governor of Madras. He retired in 1924 with a reputation for handling Indian problems. Associated Press dispatches from London continue to emphasize the existence of the Hindu-Moslem religious differences as a danger still capable of wrecking the conference. All efforts to bring about a compromise of these differences are said to have Taking the cry of "Lynch Himi!" raised against a former judge at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine a few Sundays ago, as supporting its contention that the Lynch evil has no limits, the Chicago Defender said: Bishop W. T. Manning had preached a sermon in his Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York in which he had said some uncomplimentary things about "companion marriage" and its exponent, former Judge Ben Lindsey of Colorado, Judge Lindsay, sitting in the congregation, rose to "defend" himself when other members of the throng set upon him with cries of "Lynch him." The former jurist, who has established himself in his efforts to help wayward boys, and who has recently made himself unpopular as a sponsor for a new form of social order, was saved from serious injury and possible death by police, who took him to the station. Aff of which makes us a bit skeptical of the white man as a Christian. It is no surprise to us that white Christians take part in lynch orges, but we had thought that in the atmosphere of a solemn cathedral with deep, appalling organ playing its nearness of praise the Almighty—with the weight of the martyrdom of Christ hanging heavy upon the souls of coerce worshipers, that they would refrain from giving vent to their orgiastic tendencies. It doesn't matter what the charges these people had against Judge Lindsey, Lynching is a nasty word with which to correct him. The historical woman or the thoughtless man who shouted the words merely emphasized the belief that our white people, in spite of the great civilizing influences with which they are bathed, are above savages only on the surface. No wonder the Lynch men and women on the slightest provocation in the South. It has been the contention of The Age for many years, that the complacent toleration of Lynching as an American institution is the greatest menace to the existence of the United States as a civilized nation. Taking issue with Michael Gold, editor of The New Masses, in his advocacy of Communism as a panacea for the ills of the Negro, Frank R. Crosswash, in an article in the Cleveland Gazette said. Lake all known Communist propagandists in the United States, Mr. Gold was most attractive when recounting the many and varied evils attendant upon Negro life in America. Nor could he resist the temptation to indulge in the delightful Communist pastime of "truth betrayal" especially when discussing the Socialist Parts' Editor Gold climbed to dizzy heights of ecstasy because a few Southern textile workers attended a convention in Paterson, N.J. at which was spoken the "language of truth" solution. The committee of test tall,簿厚ed 100 percent Americans, whom Brother Gold claims five years ago, were Ku Kluxans at a convention seating Negro delegates, so dazzled the editors eyes that he saw "Southern labor awakened" and vouched the prophesy that American capitalists would no longer be able to use Southern workers in the role of Cossacks as the Carr of Russia used to do" Gastema, N. C. had suddenly become "a modern Bunker Hill and Communism has at last struck its roots in American history." The Communist Parts had succeeded where before Socialists had failed accustomed to Bunker Gold's celebrated continuum of the picture was somewhat broken when the editor failed to place on Bunker Hill, dead or alive, the celebrated Grups Attacks although Negro Tolstoy Gorkus and Walt Whitmans were there. Fellowing this first piece of historical writing by Gold, the Nezos press is now being treated to other fantastic stories about the rapid growth of Communism among Negroes, and apparently our press is liking this Communist cooked noirriage. According to these latest thousands of Negroes have made the remarkable discovery that Communism is the panacea for all our racial and social tills. If we shall see. According to Mr. Crosswath, Communism represents the most erratic, undemocratic and impractical of all the movements of social protest now extant. Noting the tributes paid to Judge Cruttenden F. Clark upon his retiring after eight years on the bench, especially in the line of interracial service, the St. Louis chapter said We were pleased to hear this report at the end of eight years' service of the first Negro in the state to be elected as justice of the peace. If "first" Clark has made good a justice of the peace, as the testimony of those with whom he served shows, surely he rendered a valuable service to his face. Others, who once after him will find the way easier because the path which was strwn with misfits and racial prejudice has been locked and made permanent by clear in the way he conducted the affairs of the public office to which he had been elected. We are further reminded in this connection of the words of one of failed. The view is that the round table conferences have so far traveled in a circle. The British Government takes the stand that no policy can be decided upon until the Hindu and the Moslem representatives have settled their differences and these factions appear to be unable to arrive at any understanding. And that is probably just the situation that the British government wanted to bring about the speakers who said, "If this was an occasion when one was being inducted in office, it would be quite natural or people to gather and to say nice things about him as well as to bring tokens as expressions of well wishes. But on this occasion the man whom we honor here today is returning from office, which speaks of a service well done." The office of justice of the peace is one that brings the occupant into close contact with the masses of the masses of the people. It defends that its occupant should know human nature as well as statute law. Reciting improved conditions in the City Hospital during the past few months, the *Indianapolis Recorder* said. With these adjustments has come a change of atmosphere in and around the institution that is remarkable for its necessary effort upon a tax-paying public. Officials, internes, nurses, attendants and other employees have undergone a change of attitude toward patients that should make for much progress in the administration of the affairs of the institution. A far greater measure of courtesy toward visiting citizens, is according to the report everywhere in evidence at the hospital. A circumstance that differs very widely from previous methods as practiced there. The dirty linen stuffy and ill-kneed wards, and carelessly prepared food so insistently complained of not very long ago have all disappeared and replaced by far more acceptable state of things at the City Hospital. As a result, a greater amount of public confidence is being reposed in the administrative system of the institution. It is to be hounded, now that these necessary changes have been effected that some steps be taken in the matter of inauguration on the Hospital staff of physicians needed representation for colored citizens. In view of the fact that Catholics, Jews and other elements of the city's population are recognized at the institution in this way, it remains to be seen to what extent Negroes will be recognized, in a like manner. The Recorder emphasized the fact that among the many colored physicians in Indianapolis, there are many, that would be a credit to the institution and help solve the hospital problem. Under the head of "Fishing," the Chicago Sunday Bee referred to the investigation made by a Congress Committee into the spread of Communism among Negroes, as follows. Among those questioned was R. C. Miller, Spanish-American war veteran and a former district organizer for the Spanish Party of America. In answer to a question put by Representative Fish to the former Negro Communist as to whether ALL. Negroes were Christians and loyal to the flag, the Atlanta veteran answered 'Our conditions will make him lay his religion aside.' At the conclusion of the hearing, Congressman Fish was quoted as having said 'We have found more effect among Negroes than we have antagonized, and we regret it.' The representative and his committee, when they are with us, their investigation no doubt will have found the real reasons, thousands of Negroes are turning to Communism. We are against Communism because there are other methods of obtaining the rights of citizens, white and black, than by the extreme means succeeded by the government. Cleaned from the investigation should influence the committee to the extent that it will report back to Congress the result of its findings with the recommendation that the conditions that exist in this country that drive men and women into Communism be so reected so that no man or woman will ever have an excuse for turning to the branch of radicalism. Unless such recommendation is made the Chicago editor concludes that the investigation will have failed of any useful results. Contending that no greater influence against knitting can be compared to that of Southern white women themselves, the *S. Knee* (*Herald of Richmond*) said. The twenty-one Southern white women representing eight states, who last Saturday staged a knitting event, statement argument, demonstration knitting, and meditating the claim that it is necessary as a defense of homophobia followed in their statement meetings with a telegram to the governor of thirteen states, calling upon them to take various steps for the complete suppression of such crimes. The message was spread by all the members of the group, who plied themselves to cooperate with the officials in support of the law and was sent to governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas and Indiana. The text of the telegram was as follows: "We are a group of white women drawn from religious, educational and political groups assembled in Alabama to consider checking your eligibility to appeal to our chief executive of your state. Decree is." This action by the white women women of the South may help to change the public attitude denoted by the comment elicited when an Interracial Commission proposed to present a medal to an Alabama sheriff, who had prevented a lynching. "What do you want to do-kill him politically?" the sheriff's friends demanded.

The opinions or theories advanced are those of the writer, and are not to be considered as reflecting the policy of The New York Age. The Editor also reserves the right to "cut down" letters that he considers of undue length. Need For An Educated Ministry Is Most Urgent Editor of The New York Age: Two years ago I wrote on the subject of raising the educational standard of the Negro pulpit in order that the religious instruction of the Negro boys and girls may not differ that the press has not taken steps before this to alter this handcourt to the progress of the race. For certainly this is a condition that puts the church in the light of a blockade in the path of the onward march of the race and ought to be removed. The writer is conscious of the extent and importance that exception to be exhibited by the gro churches of Harlem, where the spirit of intelligent leadership ought to be cannested, whether it be ecclesiastical or political. How can we overlook the prepossession of asking or even experiencing youth to contentedly sit and listen to the pastor of the community while he tells them of that beautiful home called Heaven, which he portrays as being way up above the sunny and stars in space, and other equally ridiculous to the student. The children are even caused to wonder how can certain things be so ridiculous and yet true as claimed by these antebellum mulit orators. For an instance, How can God love man one minute and kill him, or cause some awful calamity to become his at almost the same instant? They don't say they are impossible, but unreasonable, and it is asking too much to ask them to believe God unreasonable in the sense in which we are asking for the great need for trained spiritual teachers as well as trained secular, instructors as at hand. It would be more tolerable for a fellow who seeks knowledge to put up with the intolerable if there was some relief, other than the same old thing all the time, and every intelligent citizen who comes into contact with it are saving the same thing. But its rather difficult to find one who will take the responsibility to complain about these getting wrongs because, as I have already said, no one wants to be the goat, and then others have their backs against the wall in one way or another and can not afford to sneak out. To make the future better than today is the BIG job, and how can we succeed unless we clean up the highway upon which you must tend to the goal in making it better for those after them. An example of what education means in Negro polls stands out in the victorious results caused by the cooperation of the intelligent pastors of Harlem with the politicians and Negro Press. The latter staged the war for race recognition in the industrial commercial political and economic programs of the community; and victory was obtained because of the educated polls. The unscrupulous politicians could not buy the Pastor of the Negro churches in Harlem, that is why Fred Moore and associates in the political and journalistic fields can boast of success in race politics and care for leadership skills. Judge and ambassador for young men and women of color in the business enterprises in which Negro figures as supporters. Without the Necro Press, the race would be without hope in the world, but without the cooperation of the Harlem Necro pastors the success already made and enjoyed by Harlem Necroes could not have been so early. This is a lesson which ought to be held to the Necroes all over the world. I FRANCIS MONROE Mt. Vernon, N.Y. THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 27 Astrologically Considered thinner. Careful planning and thoughtfulness will be really worthwhile. It is not altogether wise to make entirely new plans, or to begin entirely new enterprises but rather to bring new ideas into the plans and enterprises that were been very long ago. Quarrels and accidents should be avoided, and the health should be guarded. A very good year. Financial matters will require careful judgement but will prove worth while to those who handle money thoughtfully. Another good birthday begins on December 31, and those of today who like to think and plan carefully will come our well ahead. Those who like to change their minds will not do so well. Those who are married will need tact and patience in the domestic affairs and those who are single should try to avoid choosing the wrong person as a loved one. The year can be very Those who have been another birth year on January 1 should be careful in all financial affairs and will find it best to neither lead nor borrow. Those who can plan carefully will find it possible to make worth while progress, and will find many opportunities through those who are real and true friends. Those who can cash will find better in the second January. I believe a birthday that will bring about unusual and unexpected changes in emotional and employment matters for those of a decade. Those who can keep a strong faith and hold fast to courage will not suffer utter defeat and will have learned much that its worth while. The readers who would like to know how to get ahead and to understand the planetary milieu that are now affecting them will find the full name, the birthday, month, year, hour and place with a customary and self-addressed enclosure in stations to thank the caretakers in stations New York, West Lothian and New York. Also, parents should accompany their child to All communications are confidential. lynching, noted during past years largely due to aggressive and determined attitudes of governor and sheriffs of southern states. During this year notable examples of courageous and prominent civilians encourages belief that every governor has power and influence largely to erase this crime from record of his state. We pledge ourselves to support governors, sheriffs, and judges upon whom responsibility rests." Need For An Educated Ministry Is Most Urgent Need For An Educated Ministry Is Most Urgent Editor of The New York Age: Two years ago I wrote on the subject of raising the educational standard of the Negro pulit in order that the religious instruction of the Negro boys and girls may not differ so widely from the present day's intelligence. I am more convinced today than even then that it is absolutely a necessity, if a fair chance is to be given the young, people who are coaxed to make good in schools and colleges. And then there is another important reason why the Negro ministers should be educated. The early days of civilization and Christiandom, the ministers were learned men, and because they were learned men such instruction as came from them was, of course, looked upon and received with reverence, and that same respect still exists with the Negrites in particular; they have been taught to reverence the pulpit, irreassess as to who or what may be therein. Whether there be ignorance or intelligence, and certainly, if ignorance is in the pulpit and intelligence is in the new ignorance will have the right of way, and that is all the more reason why there should be intelligence in the pulpits of Negro churches. The fathers of the Nation decreed in necessary that men should qualify as an administrator for all the principal necessaries of life, even to teach in the day schools; and how much more important ought preparation be necessary where not only secondary education is obtained, but where those finer and more precious principles of God, men and things are taught, the place where the children get their first and lasting foundation laid for that store house of knowledge to be received in after years. Men seem to be handicapped by embarrassment about correcting this colossal evil, although there is no justification or excuse for not speaking against wrong wherever it may be located, it is nevertheless true that there is hesitancy about criticizing the church and pulpit. With me it does not carry an affection. Written right, right, and nothing is right but right, neither are we right when we fail to right wrong wherever wrong is found. Let us show due respect for our ministers but let us not overdo it to the disrespect for God. Let us also remember that whenever we neglect to cry out against wrong in action and in words, we acquiesce therein and contribute just so much toward our execution. We are confronted with the question of "Why youth does not attend church as we attended church when we were young." The biggest and most important answer to this "WHY" is that the young people are in search of knowledge in the educational institutions and through the peri- and literary programs during the weekdays, and nothing short of education will hold their attention on Sundays. They are side-stopping the churches with the antiebellum pulpit orator and going where the lettered pastor is feeding his flock with instructions in keeping with the age it seems to me rather strange. By "THEARCHER" Those who have birthdates in the group below are very much under the influence of Saturn. Those people on Carson are usually very practical and thrifty; they take the time and patience to think carefully and plan ahead. Neatly over one of this group should be careful when anions strangle, in place where crowds congregate, and in the family and nonprofit affairs. Those who care to use this knowledge will find it white to be careful and discreet on these days in lamarus in 1931, 2, 3, 8, 10, 13, 16, 24, 27, 41, and in Librarians on the eve of 1931, 2, 7, 10, 21, 24, 27, 41. The birthdates for Deerer 22 will bring about hanges on the vacation and encampment, for nearly everyone on today. The changes will be for the heat although not likely to be desired. Those who can make their own way and can depend upon their own efforts will find the birthday worthwhile. Patience and tact will be needed in the family and social affairs. Those who begin another birthday on December 28 should read the first paragraph carefully, as the will certainly cause themselves unhappiness of they can not be patient and tactful with others. Those who like to hold bitterness in their hearts hurt themselves more than others but to possible fines those who were hurt such and more place on life when they learn to help and forgive others. Travel is indicated and will prove profitable in the end. The women of today will find the year very changeful and full of lessons. December 29 begins a birthday that will be what those of today care to make it. Those who are deserving will receive providential help in time of need. This will be a year that will be about a greater deposition of the spiritual side of life, the abject act to know and understand. December 30 begins a birthday that will be promotion and success to those who deserve these. ```markdown ``` MANHATTAN AND BROOKLYN RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Tuesday, the pastor had J. I. Caird speak in the absence of Ewen Sims. We went, the Junior Church and chapel with Brother Sims to fill an engagement on the anniversary program at the "Beulah Baptist Church. His text was Psalms 16:16. His message was delivered with much emulsion, the audience was well entertained. All that were present felt the power of the Divine Spirit. Vaughan, J. Clark spoke instead of power the regular Bible class that he taught by the pastor. Fitz, Elder W. G, White of Elizabethtown, N. J., brought the message from Genesis 32:21-28. His subject was "Heal Soldiers for Him." He said in his message, "Of all the games that are played the numerous one is to play with others." ```markdown ``` Sunday, the midnight prayer was well attended. If you desire to spend a few profitable hours for the edification of your soul come on Sunday morning, Bishop R. C Lawson returned from his trip to our school in West Southern Pipes, N.C. in time to hear His text. "His text is in his chapter Zathariah. His verse is in his chapter Zathariah. His verse is in his suspicious message these seem to stand out." "As long as you are actually satisfied you will not make any spiritual progress." "We should not measure ourselves by ourselves, because of 'God' is perfect according to His ability and if we do the very best according to our ability, we are satisfied with the partial success of God's program and line up to do Him." The pastor's text was found in John 10:10, subject "What is Life." The climax of the message was reached when the speaker told us as the only panacea for his desire only did He live with man, and died for him, but he wants to live in you. If you want to visit a church where power of God is felt, come out and be our guest. A special reception will be on the 1st of January where we will be greeted by God and it ends come out to the family church, where the pastor and members try to exemplify the Spirit of Christ. ST.

He told of the three important manifestations of God in the flesh as being, Incarnation, Atonement, Resurrection, and said, if these were ignored or not blessed that the world of this world be ignored.

Those who teach that Christ was superman without the feelings of ordinary men, are rededicated, etc., just as we do, but His behavior and general character were examples for us He spoke of how Christ came to show us that the Father was not a vindictive cruel God, but in spite of His supreme power, he was not imprisoned how Christ stood before the judge without witness or lawyer and how He conducted himself. During the session of the Bible classes, Mrs. Howard led discussion of the Philathea Class. There was an interesting prose from the choir sang Christmas songs and there were other interesting numbers. Hugh Freeland spoke on "How to Choose Life's Work; little Harvey Green. (9 years old) spoke on Christ's sermon on the Mount; Miss Leonna Wright retested her sermon; Mrs. Riho and Mr. Jenkins recited Rudyard Kipling's "If..." At the evening service, the assistant pastor, Rev. A. A. Corpnew, preached from St. Luke 2: 9, 10, 11 "And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them and he made them afraid about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, "Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in Christ, Saviour, which is Christ the Lord Subject, "The Christmas Message." He spoke of the genealogy of Jesus as given by the apostles; about the prophecies concerning the coming, of Christ and about the coming of Jesus, of Christ and accomplished before. His death and illustrated how we do not die until our specific work is finished. He also explained the Greek translation of the words, Peace on earth, toward men, as being, Peace on earth toward men of good will. It was announced that the funeral services of Rev S. A. Horsey would be held at the church he had formerly pastored, Church Parc, Pekkawah Tuesday, December 23 at 12 o'clock.

CHURCH Last Sunday morning the church was beautifully decorated with Yuleide greens and flowers and congregants came, the Christmas greetings, to greet the pastor, Rev. John W. Roberson, who spoke from the test St. Luke 27; subject, "No room for them in the inn." In an impressive manner he portended the Prophecy and the Birth of Christ. His last Christmas Day is spent in the service of Christ. The finest things we can do is to make room in our lives for Jesus. In the busy hum drum of life we hardly find time to read the reading of the Bible. Fitten must gaze to communion with God would mean much in our lives. If we permit the lust of pleasure to crowd out Jesus from our lives we will find that there will be no room for us. The anthem by the choir, and solo by Miss Rubia Greene, were beautifully rendered In the evening, Christmas carols were sung by the choir under the leadership of Aldama Jackson. On Christmas morning sunrise service and communion will be held, music by the Junior choir. EMANUEL A. M. E. CH Acheerful and responsive audience greeted the pastor, Rev. D. Ward Nichols, at the 11 o'clock service. He chose for a text St. Luke 1:33. And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom no end. "Subject: The eternal Kingdom of the New Born King." "Said he 'Well night two thousand years ago there happened the greatest event in the history of the world—the birth of a New Born King." The idea of a Messiah was always present with this people since Moses wrote: "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor the law from Pharaoh." Again, in the Hebbic comics: "Again of old despair, 'il shall see him but not now, I shall behold him, but not night.' He was exasperated to come in regular pomp and splendor. But the King of the world was not to come that way. In the fullness of time, in God's own time and in God's own way, He came." He beautifully portrayed the annunciations of the angels over Bethlehem's plains. The mission of this King to earth was to save sinners; and the Son of Man came to earth to save them. The Son of Man which was lost" That "He came unto His own but they received Him not." Speaking of the eternity of this Kingdom, he said: The kingdoms of Egypt, Babylon, Greece and Kohde had risen, played their part in the great drama of life, and passed away, but this kingdom that deals with the earth and like Daniel's vision, shall grow and extend until it reaches earth's remotest 'bounds'; yes, that kingdom shall reign 'where' the sun, doth his successive journey's run. Every Christian should have a definite knowledge as to when the newborn King has no staques erected to his memory, but every Christian is a living monument. All hail to this new born King whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom." This sermon which was a beautiful prelude to the pending Christmas season, was listened to with intense joy. Two persons joined the church. The choir, under direction of Prof. Allen, delivered soulful music. The Sunday school is forging ahead under the leadership of its able superintendent. The junior church furnished a splendid program at the evening service. The pastor will preach followed by the administration of the Lord's Supper—finishing up with a Christmas breakfast. On last Friday the church served free dinner to 186 persons. Come again this Friday, from 3 to 7 p. m. The church is still receiving food, clothing, shoes and supplies.

Aalanta Unemployment Brings Relief Kitchens Editor of The New York Age: While there has been no survey made to determine the number of unemployed in this city, an employment problem is sufficiently grave to cause the opening of a Community Kitchen in the downtown section where as many as 1500 people were sold meals at. PAGE FIVE the price of 3 cents per meal in a single day. Undoubtedly many of these people could not qualify for this type of philanthropy or benevolence on the basis of a strictly case work schedule that is to say some of the 1500 perhaps are, either they don't want work, could have work, or could pay more for their meals, but were taking advantage of this humanitarian gesture on the part of the Restaurant. Association which is sponsoring this Community Kitchen. There must be a large number however, driven to the point where they are ill-behaved, long-bread lines is the cold weather for the doors of the kitchen to open. White and colored alikes are being served. In order to bring the base of supply nearer the colored people, through the generosity of the rector and official board of the St. Paul Episcopal Church, the parish house of that institution has been turned over to C. W. Washington, executive secretary, to the Atlanta chapter, an emergency relief kitchen. An Urban League relief committee, with Mrs. C. C. Wimbish as chairman, is undertaking to enlist the support of. Negro business, professional men and women in securing sufficient groceries, food clothing to give the unemployed men, women and children not only 20 cents per servet, but a real Community Christmas Tree on the night of December 24. Serving with Mrs. Wimish on this committee are Mesdames E. H. Simmons, vice-chairman; F. A. Toomer, secretary; Tom Barber, Francis Belchier, assistant secretaries, and E. C. Ford, treasurer. All are indicated above to register the amount of unemployment the situation is sufficiently severe to cause Atlanta to establish an emergency relief kitchen for the first time in the memory of the old settlers among whom we have worked. The lanta spirit is called forth to meet this extraordinary situation in the usual JESSE O. THOMAS Atlanta, Ga. No Color Line in Heaven "There is a city I want to go to, and its name is Heaven." That is what Charles Wesley Hill used to sing in "The Green Pastures," the play in the heath of the part of the Angel Gabriel. He will sing the song for us no more, because last week he was killed by an automobile and perhaps his wish has now been fulfilled. Hill is a colored man, a great actor and a fine human being. In that section of New York where most people of his race live, he was beloved because he played the part of Gabriel both on and off the stage, of his race, and of people too, who are better for his having lived amongst us, because he had religion in him and he was sincere in his wish that after life he wanted to go to that city called Heaven. He was a colored man, but he was whiter than some of the people we know. And those who believe in the Hereafter should be proud if permitted to mingle with him in that CITY he used to sing about.

SOL WHITE RECALLS By SOL WHITE One summer's evening, not so many years ago, and several other fellows found ourselves on the streets of a small town in the State of Ohio with lots of time to spend; but how and where to spend such valuable commodity in a community of a few thousand souls, a city hall and two colored churches was a occasion amongst the gang with cash and every souls of the church at variance as to where to go and what to do to while away the hours. With no agreement ammunition the boys were making preparations to hike to a station and stand the time history to cockerel's song, which waiting for the train. At the moment, along comes a major son of this lots some municipality, and extends an invitation to the benevolent urging our attendance at a lecture to be held in one of the colored churches. Of course we all went to the church and took our baggage with us and listened to the feature on "Progress of the Negro." The lepteron went away back into the history of the world and told of many wars in which the Negro had shed his blood forust, and his face. His soul of Commerce Peter L. D. compacted the North Polk in many impressive languages. At the conclusion of every station in when the Negro was mentioned as playing an hero part the lepteron, in a potential voice would say "And the Negro he was in." We did enjoy the lecture but the comma of the exclamation entertainment was when one of the less said. He never said anything about the Big leaper; they veen Negroes in that toy." The first scheme for playing baseball was devised by a gentleman in Copenhagen, N. Y., back in 1897.

We heard of Bud as a baseball player when as a little tote, we were watching a ball game on the public square of my home town. Fowler passed the home plate many years ago. We learned the exact age of Bud. but we wouldn't take such a rabble range of imagination to place Fowler somewhere in the neigh- borhood of Copperstown when the first diamond in playing the old game was devised. You see? Bud was playing ball when I was a kid. The Colonial Grants, first protected in plagued pain, was a good one. This was stamped in Trenton, N. 1 with good backing in the version of White Cook, a Trenton capitalist and a colored manager by the name of Cos Government. That home grounds were not very large but what it lacked in space was offset in beauty. The Cubes had two great cries at that time: Arthur Thomas and Avenue Williams. Speaking as Arthur Thomas we will not hesite in telling that we never get a ball player who is similar else when. He was a test 4 inches her being a carer since ended in king's. It was so far since asked a king's delighted, in had a mounting way and actually would cry when he from lost a game.

We have Mr. Langauer will retain his interest and gain the support of a law New York sportman and give us games at the Stadium next summer.

At all times the St. Cres were leading the New Eyes 10 to 10. When the second half started Captain Slats Davis put Shorty Chappelle in the game and he made two spectacular hold cools which helped greatly in cutting down St. Cres.

Tuskegee Tigers To Play in Texas, Jan. Tuskegee Tigers To Play in Texas, Jan. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—With the 12 to 10 defeat of Morris Brown University in Mayson on December 5, Tuskegee removed the last Conference barrier, and immediately usan inportation the Coach Teachers' Carges will be met in Hot Springs Texas on January 1. The game proceeds to be one of the most colorful contested in the Southwest and will attract sponsors of both teams from all over the state. The table will mark Tuskegee's third appearance in Texas. The Turtles played the first game in the Southwest when Tuskegee and Home View met in Houston in 1921, and the Turtles emerged with 7 to 7 in the second trip to the state was made in 1924 when the Golden Jays played Paul Quinn College at Waco. The game ended in a strenuous tie. The third year is being made in response to repeated requests of a large number of IU students, graduate and junior students, and followers of the Crimson team who have wanted to see in action some of the men who have played such a prominent part in the Tuskegee athletic achievement. Also to accommodate a desire on the part of the Framie View athletic authorities to mat in their team with the present title holders. Coach Gilbert will spend two weeks in releasing his men in new plays which will be used against the Prairie View Panthers. The final week of preparation will be devoted to polishing up his passing attack and lengthy signal drills. Coach Taylor has the distinction of using the Tigers their only defeat since 1923 when Morehouse College scored a 6 to 9 victory over the Cadets. In 1928, Coach Taylor, than the director of athletics at Clark University, competed the Tigers in a guelling game, played in Atlanta. The Prairie View coach is anxious to score another victory over the Tigers. The Tuskegee coach is worried ever has coming clash with Prairie View.

Luis Russell's band is, or course, one of the big attractions of the revue. Some day, someone is going to stage a contest between this band and Duke Ellington's master musicians. When that happens, the two best colored bands in existence will be heard. Russell's band is all there. Then there is Roy Atkins. For fast, complicated dance steps and a stage personality that wins instantly, this boy is one of the best on the stage. Others who do splendid work in the revue are Celeste Coles, Tim Moore and Andrew Trobble (they are the theatre's additions to Holst's revue). Andrew Thomas, Kitts Anulanche, The Three Brown Spots, William Brown and Dewey Brown. Bob Williams, producer of the revue, is also appearing at some of the performances—as his work with Frank Radcliffe on Broadway permits. With such a cast and with the experiences of their run in Casper Holsten's club behind them, it is small wonder that this revue is one of the finest the Lafayette has had in a year. The talking picture feature is also worthy of special mention. It is "Summers Holiday," a fascinating version of the great stage play which played on Broadway for two, solid years.

Chatman In Recital One of the most interesting pu- pils recital of the current season was that of the Violet String En- semble, on Sunday afternoon, De- cember 21, at the Grace Congre- sational Church, 308 West 139th street, under management of Mrs. Nana B. Lewis, Mme. Louetta Chatman, coloratura soprano, was the guest artist. The ensemble is composed of pupils of Alfred Viallet, 95 West 150th street, a teacher hitherto unknown to this reviewer, although he informs me that he has been quietly conducting his studio here for a number of years. On two previous occasions he has presented his pupils, but I did not know the playing of his pupils as an ensemble, more particularly as artists, gave convincing evidence of the teacher's ability, and was a fine tribute to his faculty for imparting the principles of fine musicianship to his pupils. The pupils presented on this occasion were Henry Letang, 14, first violin; Harcourt McClean, 13, and Vernon, McClean, second violin; William Hickman, fourth violin; Erl Letang, 16, and the piano. None of the violin players have studied more than four years. The ensemble numbers were played with fluent clarity, nine understanding and intelligent interpretation for such young players. It could hardly be expected that there would be deeper understanding in their players, but that will come with the ripening of their art. The soleists were Henry Le廷, Vernon and Harcourt, MeClean. They centered their choices on compositions by Bertel, Vernan playing the "Air Vare, No 6", Henry, the Concerto in A Minor, No. 5, and Harcourt, the Scene de Ballet. The youngest of the three, Vernon seemed to have developed a substance and pleasing tone quality, while Henry Harcourt excelled in digital dexterity. All were excellent in their bowing and fingering, but there is yet to be achieved tonal color and enture elimination of sour notes. Mme. Chatman, a former pupil of Wilson, Lamb of Orange N. J. and New York City, has mellowed and matured in the art, and displayed a more complete mastery of her art than this reviewer has previously discovered. For the past five years she has lived in New York City, and during that time has been actively engaged in concert work, both public and private. During this period, she has evidently taken advantage of every opportunity to further perfect herself vocally, and the consequence is that she is singing with more effectiveness than ever. One hardly looks for or expects to find dramatic intensity in a coloratura, for that quality would change characterization. But Mme. Chatman has taken on a more fortiful quality, while retaining its flexibility and brilliance. This was particularly evidenced in her singing of the Shadow Song from Meyerbeer's "Dinorah," ("Ombra legera") This was most carelessly given on the program as "Ombre leezer," a misspelling that should be studiously avoided by makers of program. The musical laity, unfamiliar with musical titles and terms, should never be misled by such mistakes. And another misprint was "Scene Baller." Most instead of "Scene Baller." Most makers blame such slips as this on the printer, but they could be avoided by careful proof reading on part of those in charge of the program. To get back to the program, Mme. Chatman sang "Rain" by Curran; "Memories fond and true" by Luders; the "Dinorah" song, and "The Holy City" by Adam-Wade in de water" by Burklegg was an adam amer. The creature and the singer electrified the audience by her high "E," which rang through the auditorium with electric effect. Her accompanist was Marguerite Hunter, a 17-year old girl, a pupil of Sonoma Talley, who gave fine support. Miss Hunter, with faithful application, gives great promise for her future attainments. And commendation must be given Eril Letang, pianist in the Ensemble, for the splendid manner in which he performed his difficult task. He is not a pupil of the Violet Studio, but is a brother to Henry, the first violinist. Mr. Violet was aided in handling the Ensemble's end of the program by his studio assistant, George Davis, a pianist. Dramatic and Musical Program at Abyssinian A dramatic and musical program was presented Sunday afternoon, December 21, at Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Rev Dr A. Clayton Powell, pastor, by the Romeo 'Dramatic Players, an auxiliary of the church, of which Mrs. Louise Ballard is director, and Mrs. Mattie F. Powell, the pastor wife, supervisor. The program was given of the lecture room, and an envelope silkworm was used for to aid the free kitchen and wresty. Herman C. Laster, president of the club, was presented by Mrs. Ballard as master of ceremonies, and the Rev A. Clayton Powell is offered the invocation, followed by chanting of "The Lord Prayer" by the club and congratulation. The musical portion of the program was opened by that one-tier group of young women who com- pose the Chaminade Giee Club Mme. Emina Delyon Leonard director- whose nine singing was commented on in this column recently. The illness of some ten of the members deplied the ranks considerably, but the group remaining sang with spent the chorus, Birth of the King, Birth of the King, session Later, they sang again, using "lasten to the Lambs" as their selection. A group of eight young men, composing the Kentucky Choir, programmed to appear later, were compelled to leave early to fill another engagement, and so were put ahead of the dramatic play. They were given a roaring re-creation by the large audience when they sang. No more sations left for them to work together, Chilton and Deep Rivers. "The Employment Agency" was the first 1-act play given. It was a humorous presentation of the happenings in an office where folks hunt for jobs. Virginia E. Cook portrayed "Hattie Brown," in charge of the office; other characters were "Huda Olson," a Sweder; Millennium Pitt; Marie Bassett; Graeve Wintkins; Gracie Pepper; and Irene Theo Cobbs, an Irish woman looking for jobs; four ladies looking for jobs were Effie Miller, Shepard; Mrs Shawer; Martine Allard; Dow; Mrs French; Miamam DeVon; Mrs Aldrich; Hassie Chloe; Hawkins; Mrs Newel It was admirable and, and the audience was complained with laughter as the comical situation was developed. The second presentation was a lact drama, "The Wife in the Kerb, by Wilfred Parr, Charles W. Moore," "Joe Matthews, out of work can't get a job, but went to Alired Harriser — "Mary, his wife who is attempting, attempts sur de Sel, No sette."

The cast portrayed their parts very well. The notable acting of Miss Mildred Men bebeaks much talent for her. She had the role of "The New Co-Ed" and her expression and gestures showed that she had really thrown herself in the part. Robert Belford stole the play completely from the male star, James Timmons. Mr. Brooks was cautious in the role of "Thunah" the work-shatter. The actors of the cast were Miss Eileen Balfour, Bufcke Halpern-Hunter, Mintzer, Cayler, Lauy Ulding and Vistan Richardde, Meirs, Patten and Canady.

Each musician was supposed to have a ticket to take in the voting booth with him. Why couldn't the ticket be followed? Some ballots, it is said, were marked with only Bert's name crossed. These ballots were wasted because on the face of each ballot was marked, "The full number in each column" must be voted; otherwise lifejacket would be void. Some ballots marked every name in one column. The campaign had cost Bert several hundred dollars—refrences, cakes for voters, loss of business. But that was the least of his worries. Bert was philosophic about his defeat. He claims it was only by insistence of his friends that he hled his nomination on the last day for nominations. He was satisfied as long as the right men on the Covering and Trial Boards were elected, and the "Bolsheviks" were left out in the cold with him. The Canavan regime would continue to the best interest of the local and the Harlem musicians would continue to get a square deal.

IN WOMEN'S REALM Daily Happenings Among the Girls At Hunter College By RUTH FORD OF SENIOR CLASS Ruth B. Mattis, an upper freshman, wins this year's award of $150 offered by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to the Negro girl, completing high school with the highest average. Miss Mattis also won the Latin prize upon graduating from Wadleigh High School. Negro poetry and drama were discussed this week at the meeting of the International Society of Dumbar, Bert Willi Robeson, Flolegen Mills and Paul Robeson were the chief characters discussed. The club is looking forward to a talk by Walter White in the near future. Is the college girl becoming a stenographer? Is the stenographer becoming a college girl? These questions are agitating the minds of Hunter College authorities as the result of increasing demand from the student body for courses in stenography and typing. The difficulty in getting positions as teachers caused the introduction of typing and stenography into the curriculum for Hunter seniors last term. So great was the demand for this course that during the current term it was opened open to lower seniors, with the promise of the same privilege for upper juniors next semester. In this way the student Curriculum Committee of Hunter College hopes to prepare girls for careers other than teaching, by providing at least the fundamentals of business training. For students who go on to the value studies course the values this course lies in the increased efficiency with which they will be able to take notes and type essays. According to a recent statement from the Hunter Bureau of Occupations, the average college girl simply does not qualify for the positions at the disposal of the bureau.

Address Hunter College Girls Question Box, care The New York Age, 250, West 133th street, New York City. "Negro girls should not associate with the white students, but keep to themselves." So stated a New York College student. She gave as her reason the fact that the white students with whom she has some in contact, fail to consider the Negro girl as their equal situations outside the school. "Do you think," she continued, "that a white girl will introduce you to her friend at the prom? You can be sure, she won't." There have been actual cases, however, where such cordial relationships between white and Negro girls have existed. This friendship and association is hated not upon color, but upon mutual appreciations. The Negro girl values her friendship with such a girl, not because the girl is white, but because the girl stands for certain principles and ideals, that are also a part of the Negro girl. Do you think that the statement made by this college student is unjustifiable? --- Their sentiments were vociferously announced.

And not the modern Christmas Eve 'Holy圣物' either, made of plaster of Paris, with little candy like statuettes; the Holy Stable, clean and prettily painted with a neat tidy manger, and estatic ass, a contrite ox and angels fluttering their wreaths on the floor of the roof. This is not the stable where Jesus was born. 'A real stable is the house, the prison of the animals who work for man. The poor old stable of Christ's poor country is only four feet high, a dirt pityment, a roof of beams and slate, is dark, reeking. The only clean thing in it is the manger where the owner piles the hay and fodder. This is the real stable where Jesus was born. "The fittest place in the world was the first room of the Only Pure Man ever born of woman. The Sea of Man, who was to be denounced by wild beasts calling themselves men, had as His first cradle the manger where the animals chewed the cud of the miraculous flowers of Spring. "It was not by chance that Christ was born in a stable What is the world but an immense stable where produce filth and wallow in it? Do they not dally cheer the most beautiful, the most divinous to excrement? Then stretch themselves at full length on the piles of manure they say they are enjoying life. Upon this earthly pig sty, where no decorations or perfumes can hide the odor of nihh, Jesus appeared one night, born of a stainless virgin armed only with innocence "I insist that many who hypocritically worship Him today, do not known Him. They say the Christ is the prophet of the week and on the contrary He came to give strength to the languishing, and to raise up those troubled under foot to be higher than kings." "They say that His is the religion of the sick and of the dying and yet He heals the sick and brings the dead to life. They say He forgives life and yet He conquers destiny to all. I came that ye might have life and have it more abundantly." "They say again that He is the God of sadness, and yet He exhorses Hrs followers to be joyful and promises an everlasting banquet of joy to His friends. "Not only have His enemies left Him and despoiled him; the very ones who were His disciples when He was alive only half understood Him, and deserted Him at the end and many of those who were born in His church disobey His commands, care more for His painted pictures than for His living example, and when they have worn cut their hips and knees in materialistic piety, think they are quirks with Him, and that they have done what He asked of man—what He is still asking, what He has been asking desperately and always in vain for nineteen hundred years. in their fashion-plate dancing and many encores.

Y.—Christmas the birthday of Jesus Christ—should be a happy festive occasion for everybody, 'because for many spellings, not gladness. You remember one of the catastrophes that occurred last year when flimsy decorations on a tree caught fire and two little lives were sacrificed when the home was destroyed by fire. What is it that causes these tragic happenings that turn joy into sorrow? Inflamable decorations—the use of lighted candles on Christmas trees in the windows, Sturdy step-ladders should be used while decorating the trees, not chairs and boxes. I know we all love to see the little ones enjoying Christmas but we should not forget that the children are responsible for a great many tragedies every year. Celebrate Christmas by all means but temper festivity with caution, because there is something dreadfully tragic about a Christmas accident. It does not fit into the ideals of ledger monize with the spirit of "Peace on earth and goodwill to men." Wishing you a merry Christmas and a safe New Year—J. T. Reid.

Tips on Children's Diet By Commissioner Wynne Menu must be varied and balanced. Good food habits must be formed. Avoid food fads; use common sense. Simplify in menus essential. Special dishes not necessary. A quart of milk every day. Left owers should be reserved. -Tomato juice or cabbage water may supplant orange juice. If he refuses food let him "go hungry. Laughter aids digestion. The old-fashioned garden variety of common sauce and the soba-stopping of all food fads" in the feeding of children were stressed by Health Commissioner Shirley W. Wythe over Station, WGHS. He was giving his second paper in the Diet and Health series, and had for his topic "Food for Children From To to Six Years." That the satisfactory adjustment in the matter of the child's diet at this age is an important matter was pointed out by the THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES By JAMES H HOGANS CHRISTMAS Well, friends, let's forget hard way, and talk of something else.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS Well, friends, let's forget hard times, for the next few days, anyway, and talk of something else. Christmas, for instance. As President D. A. Crawford of the Pullman Company quite aptly says, in his Yuletide message to the employees, "No matter what the condition of the world, the kindly spirit of Christmas is unsuccenrable, and the welcome given the New Year always equals the expectations of the happiness it may bring." Happiness, of course, is an elusive condition, the attainment of which is difficult to realize even when acquired, for it is largely mental after all. On the other hand, the Christmas spirit is not inclosed by any such reservation. You don't have to struggle for it, it comes spontaneously. One may doubt or question the authenticity of the narrative of the birth of the Child of Ruthlehem, His life and His death, but there is hardly anyone to be found in all Christendom who will dispute the natural spirit of Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All Men which exists on the day that commemorates that birth. It is, therefore, with this philosophy of the period in mind and how it should be practiced, we extend to you, friends, this wish: May the blessings of Christmasmide fall in abundance upon you and yours. At a meeting of the Zone General Committee of the Pullman Plan of Employee Representation, which was held in this city on Monday, December 15, T. E. Griffin, the best known porter in the East in Pullman industrial affairs, was elected a delegate to represent the New York Zone at a meeting of all the zones of the plan, which took place in Chicago on Friday, December 19. Veteran Pullman Porter Dies In Malden, Mass. Editor of The New York Age; Again we are called upon to influence the death of one of our veteran Pullman porters. Charles E. Cummings of Malden, Mass., entered the service 38 years ago. He began as private messenger in the army, then the Stenoo- man superintendent, J. W. Stuck- ton, previously having spent 10 years in a wholesale business in a clerical position. He was born in Nova Scotia, but came to Boston when two years old. He married in early manhood and leaves besides his devoted widow, six children. He was well educated, being connected with cultured rela- tives by whom he was reared. His aunt, with whom he lives, had the benefit of solvent school training. His uncle, J. Gordon Street, was noted as a writer and newspaper correspondent, the mental unisphere He was forced to leave the office work for outdoor air and served as a full-time partner for 15 years, up to his death. His home and its surroundings reflect the high ideals and the lofty ambition he cherished throughout his life. He was thrivy and economical. He leaves his family a beautiful mansion as evidence of his fragrance. He has educated all his children, some of whom hold good positions a skilled nature, and who are a credit to the family. The deceased, in a measure, divided honors to Marshall Wells, who was a confidential credit and valet to the late George W. Pullman and who was a key guardianhip over the two sons of Mr. Pullman, Sanger and George junior. When visiting the Boston District Charles Cummings got that diary at the staircase in Boston on his arrival from Chicago, and looked after his comfort during his stay, and was able to cater to his needs most satisfactorily. A legacy of five thousand dollars was left to Arthur W. Wells, who used the sum would perhaps have been left to Charles Cummings, had his memory been jogged in that direction. There was a large attendance of friends and business men of the city The-P. P. B. V. A was well represented by a goodly number of porters present. The floral contributions were sorted and beautiful. District Superintendent C. A. Roth and assistant superintendent L. P. Kenney, of the Boston North Side, were present and paid an elegant tribute to the faithful service he had given the company. The leading undertaker of Cambridge, conducted the funeral service. LOGIS WHITE, Cambridge, Mass. Commissioner² who showed that not only his present state of health depended upon it, but also his future happiness and vigor. The importance of a mixed variety of simple foods—milk, meat, butter, eggs, vegetables and fruits—in lieu of food fads and fashions should always be uppermost in the mind of the mother who wishes her child to grow healthy and strong. Simplify should be the keyword. Commissioner and he declared that one of the best balanced mixtures, of meats and vegetables is the old standby, the Irish stew. "In regard to planning the child's meals," said Commissioner Wynne, "common sense should always be paramount. 'A busy mother with plenty of household care on her hands has not the time to spend hours in the kitchen preparing special delicacies for her two to six-year olds. Nor is there any necessity for it. The young's pencil must comfort a choosy child and the menu of the rest of the household." ESTABLISHED 25 YEARS Mrs. Ida White-Duncar HAIR WORKER 19 Prescott St. Jersey City, N. J.

These groups, comprise, in addition to the porters and maids, the conductors, clerks, mechanics and cleaners. Conductors not connected with the order of Pullman Car Conductors function in their industrial relations under this plan. Other than the conductors, no Pullman employees are represented in their industrial relations by outside agents. Among the items of business transacted at the conference was the election of a representative from the porter group to serve on the company's industrial relations board. In addition to being a representative of the New York Zone committee, Mr. Griffin is dean member of Local C Committee, which is the first unit of the employee's plan for the porters and maids. A delegation of porters, headed by A. B. Logan, chairman of the porters and maids governance committee, paid a visit last week to Assistant Superintendent J. H. McDermott of the Grand Central District, who has been confirmed to his home, 30th East 163rd street, the 163rd Street, the University. The delegation reported Mr. "Mae" as being much cheered by the call. He sent regards to all the boys. During Mr. McDermott's illness, Inspector Chris Robinson is filling his place. Now, what do you thing of this—15 years in the service and no regular run! Well, you don't have to take our work. Just see Andy, of course, the office says, "Brother-of-law has a run," but "Brother-of-law declares not. Anyway, our old friend, Andy Condy, is on the extra list—that is, he was there last week. From the comments we hear, if Assistant General Manager Ryan stays around these parts another six months or so, and keep up the improvement he is making, there will he few hooks left on which the boys can hang any complaints. Seemingly, the hit official is making, with the porters comes from the attention he gives to the correction of small details in their working relations. Perhaps this may be due to the fact that it has been the sensing of these little details from which the porters have suffered most in the past. Penin Terminal Notes By J. T.

He has served in all branches of the service—club, car, private car, sleeper and parlor man. The high point in his Pullman career "was reached when he was selected on different occasions, having charge of exhibition cars at two expositions and a world's fair. He was assigned to the car, "America" at the Nashville exhibition. At that time, the "America" was the finest and most luxuriously furnished car in existence. Cars equally fine and as richly furnished were built for the Omaha Exposition and the St. Louis World's Fair and Francis was selected each time as custodian of these cars. This is in itself quite an honor to any porter. During the world war, he was appointed porter-instructor in the Penn Terminal District and held this position until the end of the war. He then elected to return to road service. Among the trophies accumulated in forty years of service, with the Pullman-Company is a very fine letter of commendation from Mrs George M. Pullman for his efficient service on her private car. He was assigned to her private car for a number of years. He was also assigned to Mrs Pitcairn's private car for twenty-three years. He claims to have made more than thirty trips to California on Mrs Pitcairn's car. One book at Joe Francis will explain why he was so signally honored in Pullman service. He is pleasant, courteous and affable. He has a wonderful physique, standing more than six feet high, and has a most pleasing personality. Once seen, he is never forgotten. He has not yet reahired the age limit of three score, and ten and does not look like an old man. Nevertheless, the ravages of rheumatism has made such inroads on his health that his legs are not able to withstand the vibrations of the train and standing on his feet any great length of time is too much for Joe. He has been active in most porter activities—the P, P, B, A of A and the Employees Representatio plan were almost a religion with him. He was happiest when serving ice cream, cake and lemonade which is given gratis at the annual field day at Pelham Bay Park. Francis always wore a happy smile and has been a fale fellow well met. A few years ago his life was darkened by the death of his wife. Even now whenever her name is mentioned, tears always come to his eyes. He says that since she's gone life does not mean anything to him. He has another characteristic which is a valuable asset to any man and that is frugality. With two homes in Newark and a pension, he will enjoy a well-earned rest after forty years of service to the public on America's great railroads and finest trains. G. E. Callahan of 2560 Eighth avenue, New York City, died on Wednesday evening, December 17, after an illness of more than two years. He entered the Pullman service on June 30, 1914, and was loved by all who came in contact with him. The members of the Penn Terminal District join with the family and host of friends in their hour of sadness. We extend to the widow our deepest sympathy.

Condemnation of Building at West Virginia State College Brings End To All Indoor Sports Activities Institute, W. Va.—Physical education program has been greatly curtailed at the West Virginia State College through an order issued by the State Board of Control condemning the A. B. White Trade Building, and putting a ban on its further use. All indoor winter sports are eliminated as a result of this order, as this was the only building on the campus in which the students could play basketball, or hold class, fraternity or sorority proms. The building was damaged by fire in 1923, after which the first floor walls were roofted over for the continuance of trade, industrial and athletic activities. This proved insufficient, however, and the Board of Control has warned against large group activities being conducted in the building. Now the walls are falling down because of the heavy roof and mortar is coming out from between the bricks, and the order to give up use of the building entirely has been issued. Resumption of these activities according to President John W. Davis, will have to await action by the State Legislature in the appropriation of sufficient funds to erect a new building, for which steps have already been taken. MOREHOUSE DRIVE FOR $100,000 IS NEARING ITS END Founder's Day Set For Final Payment of All Pledges Atlanta, Ga.—Two years ago the General Education Board made an offer of $100,000 to Morehouse College on condition that Morehouse raise a similar sum among its alumni and other friends. Of the amount to be raised by the college the Julius Rosenwald Fund promised to give $100,000 provided Negroes give the same. Success in raising the third $100,000 depends also upon the gifts from Negroes and is assured if the Negroes reach the $100,000 goal. Each dollar, therefore, contributed by Negroes will bring $5 from other sources. It is safe to say that if Negroes will give $100,000, $600,000 can be added to the college endowment, thus bringing the total amount to almost a million dollars With this inspiration, a vigorous campaign was waged among Negroes for pledges and cash. Many of them who pledged $1,000 and have paid the entire amount and have expressed a willingness to give more if necessary. February 18 is Founder's Day at Morehouse College. The third and last year of the offer of the General Education Board expires during this school year. Founder's Day as been designated as the time when all pledges will be paid in full and Morehouse will rejoice that the $100,000 pledged by Negroes is raised. Records show that among Negro colleges in the United States Morehouse college has one of the widest geographical distributions of students of college grade. This is particularly significant because the enrollment at Morehouse has been restricted to men. Of the number of graduates ten are presidents of outstanding colleges and universities, seven are college deans and reg strars, forty are college teachers, twenty-one are principals of secondary and public schools (and a large number are teachers in these schools), three are teachers of agriculture in colleges, one hundred twenty-eight are ministers, thirty six are physicians and dentists, seven lawyers, fifty-four business men, fifty-four workers and many others are pursued different lines of endeavor. Marehouse College has been elected a member of the American Association of Colleges. This makes her one of the six Negro institutions, which are members of this organization. Archer Made Acting President of Morehouse President John Hope of Morehouse College has recently announced that upon his request the American Baptist, Home Mission Society has sanction the appointing of Dean S. H. Archer as acting president of Morehouse College for the remainder of the 1930-31 school year. "Through this new arrangement," said Dr. Hope, "I expect to be able to give more attention to the Morehouse Endowment Campaign. Mr. Archer came to Morehouse as professor of mathematics in 1903 and held this position until 1920 when he became dean of the college. He has frequently been in entire charge of the college in Dr. Hope's absence; and during the World War he was acting president for one year while Dr. Hope was doing Y. M. C. A. work with soldiers in France. Morehouse alumni and students have great love for Dr. Archer and this new appointment is being met with wholehearted approval.

Missouri Sheriff, Police and Tank Company, National Guard Prevents Mob From Lynching St. Joseph Negro Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company Takes Over Policies of Colored Insured From White Co. St. Joseph, Mo.—Efforts of a mob to storm the Hutchinson County jail early and gain custody of Raymond Gunn, Negro trapper, charged with the murder of Miss Velma Colter, 19-year-old school teacher, were frustrated Sunday by the combined resources of the sheriff, the city police and a National Guard tank company. Approximately 150 men, said to have gathered from Maryville, Mo., home of the teacher, and from other nearby, Missouri towns first appeared at the jail here shortly after midnight. Sheriff Protects Prisoner Sheriff John Roach talked to the mob leaders through a heavily barred door, and told them he would protect his prisoner in every possible way. All deserter sheriffs immediately were called for duty. They were not molested as they entered the jail.

He was accused of committing rape on his 15-year old step-daughter when his wife discovered the child to be pregnant. West succeeded in having the case postponed a number of times. When it was finally brought to trial, the mother, testified that while she was working in the day, her husband stayed home, and by coercion brought about the relations that finally resulted in the child's condition. The girl was forbidden to tell anyone of their relations and threatened with confinement in the reformatory if she did tell. Through his attorney, West succeeded in convincing the jury that the complainant was a wawayd girl, and any one of a number of men may have been responsible for her condition. The acquittal of West resulted in the Children's Aid Society turning the child back to its mother, who is in a quaranty as to what to do with her. On Monday afternoon two unknown colored men walked into the jewelry store of Benjamin Zelvin, white, of 4721 avenue avenue, and asked to see some jewelry. As Zelvin proceeded to show them the goods, one of the men stuck a gun to his face and told him to do the sale. When he refused to do so, he was shot in the left arm. The men ran into the hallway of an apartment house on Lenox avenue and made their escape. from the jail. After about three hours police guard lines circled the building, keeping all unauthorized persons at least a block distant. Members of the mob held a meeting on a street corner two blocks away, and it was said they decided to go to Platsburg, where reports, declared the Negro had been taken. Mob Is Dispersed Officers there said the Negro had not arrived and was not expected. The mob also was not reported at Plattsburg, and St. Joseph officers believed they had gone home. It was understood late Sunday that Gunn, 30-year old convict, still was in the county jail here. Officers, however, were reticent. He served a term in the Missouri penitentiary for conviction of attacking a co-ed in the Missouri State Teachers College at Maryville. Miss Colter, whose mutilated body was found Tuesday night in the rural schoolhouse where she washes single teacher, also attended the college.
