The opening itself evinced a high feeling among Negroes that it is possible for a Negro concern to do business within the immediate vicinity of 150,000 people. The store will carry a diversified line of goods of every description and the completeness of the store rivals any to be found elsewhere. The district of the window dressing store tells a story of what can be expected at the sales counter. In keeping with the most modern methods, a bargain basement as is found in most department stores will be inaugurated. The president admits the company has taken every precaution in maintaining a store, of such magnitude and that they are prepared to compete with others by giving their customers every consideration.

Husband Makes Escape After Slashing Wife Mrs. Hannah Reid, Society Favorite, Fights For Life ---Husband, "Race King" Being Sought. NEW YORK, March 20—“A rag, a bone, a hank of hair,” Mrs. Hannah Reid, like the creature of Kipling’s immortal poem, may pay the price of infidelity with her life. While hundreds of people looked on, Albert Reid, alias “Race King,” slashed the woman’s throat with a razor. The tragedy occurred in front of their home at 49 West 131st street, late Friday afternoon. Reid made his escape ere the horror-stricken crowd realized the sordid deed. Although the woman's throat was cut from ear to ear, hospital authorities say she has a slight chance of recovery. Was Singer Mrs. Reid, tall and very striking in appearance, is a concert prima dona of considerable rank and attainment. She has sung before the fashionable social set and her voice and beauty have been a cause of her fame. The warrior Mrs. Reid is alleged to have violated her martial vows, is said to be the cause of the brutal cutting. The alleged infidelity is said to have occurred while her husband was incarcerated in the Tombs prison, following a raid on his 131st home. Reid is well-known in the underworld as an ex-bartender and curate, and it is difficult to break the sinister silence of his associates as to facts surrounding the case.

The bank, chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on January 29, has an authorized capital of $50,000.00 and a $10,000.00 surplus. First Started in 1916 Back in 1916 a few men got to together and organized what is known a the Modern Land Improvement Company. This company owns several valuable pieces of real estate in East Liberty including the three- stone stone-front building, at $100, -000, in which the Modern State Bank will be located. After the establishment of the Modern Land Company the need for a financial institution peculiar to the needs of our group became more apparent. The same group of men who had organized the Land Company got friendship for years. In 1921, The Modern Savings & Trust Company was opened for business with an authorized capital of $125,000.00. As a result of this accomplishment, more and better homes were secured for our people and employment given to our young men and women beside the important feature of financing business enterprises. Many of the stockholders of the Modern Saving & Trust Company were permitted to pay their stock on the installment plan, due to the financial depression of 1921. Some of these stockholders failed to pay in full which resulted in the impairment of the capital. The Department of Banking because of this impairment suspended the Modern Sayings & Trust Company.

Burroughs of Washington and Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune of Florida Behind Movement. WASHINGTON, March 20.—The National Association of Wage Earners, "a labor organization with a constructive program" recently-organized to protect and advance the interests of the "three million Negro women engaged in domestic and personal service occupations," has launched a drive for 10,000 members, according to its president, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School for Women and Girls. The officers of the association declare that Negro women who are employed in domestic and personal service occupations in order to provide necessities for their families, and raise their own standard of living, will not advance unless they become organized producers." The roster of officers of the association is as follows: Mrs. The roster of officers of the Mary McLeod Bethune, Daytona, Fla., vice president; Miss Minnie L. Bradley, New Haven, Conn., executive secretary; Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, New Bedford, Mass., chair man investment board N. K. Pleasen Pleasen, N. K. registrar; Mrs Maggie L. Walker, Richmond, Va., treasurer; Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president. The purposes of the organization are: First, to develop and encourage efficient workers; second, to assist women in finding the kind of work for which they seem best qualified; third, to elevate the migrant class of workers and incorporate them permanently in service of some kind; fourth, to standardize living conditions; fifth, to secure a wage that will enable women to live decently; sixth, to assemble the multitudes of grievances of employers and employees into a set of common demands and strive, mutually, to adjust them; seventh, to enlighten women as to the value of organization; eighth, to make and supply appropriate uniforms for working women. This shall be done through a profit-sharing enterprise operated by the association; ninth, to influence just legislation affecting women wage earners. A statement issued by the organization says: "Negro women wage earners are the only large unprotected labor group in America. Unorganized labor will be exploited and mistreated. An organized labor group gets fairer wages, better living conditions, greater respect—economic justice. Then, too, a labor organization that functions properly develops in the workers greater skill and general efficiency, pride of occupation, and improvement in general conduct. The latter improvements are as important as the former considerations. Organization Is Power. "You know what a power the American Federation of Labor is in safeguarding and protecting the rights of millions of men. You know how vigilant the National Woman's Trade Union League of America is in demanding rights for white women who are engaged as industrial workers. Both of these organizations demand that their members be well paid and well treated." "Our women have no organization standing with them and for them in their struggle for economic advancement and protection. Read what the National Woman's Trade Union League of America said in one of its recent reports about, 'The Negro Woman.' "It has been said that, of all the hard facts to be met, the hardest that the American born child can face is to be born a little colored baby girl and this sad truth is here put in words that may be reserved in expression, but contains depths of suffering for our colored sisters.

This is an organization for every worker—skilled or unskilled. This is an organization for every woman—high or low, servant or secretary-college president or field hand. Working together we can advance to a place of influence and respect in the labor world. Own Headquarters "Race leaders have been talking for years about having a National Clearing House at Washington. The thing is a reality. It took Negro women to do it. Through this movement they will become a tower of strength in the labor world. Women everywhere are enthusiastic over life's unfair taking; and we believe they are going to give to the world a fine-example of the kind of teamwork women the country can do. Think of it! A real labor organization with a big constructive program, and headquarters at the nation's capital! In the language of one of our enthusiastic members: "That's some achievement!" "Both of the white labor organizations have headquarters in Washington, because this is the center for moulding sentiment on national problems. "Negro women certainly scored when they purchased headquarters in Washington."

Art Work Of Henry Tanner, Keystone State Product, Commanding Attention "Two Disciples At The Tomb" at Chicago Art Institute, Shows "Poet Painter" of Holy Land, at Best. (In the Chicago Daily Journal) In gallery 45 of the Art Institute there hangs an imposing painting which daily attracts the attention of the scores of silent, appreciative visitors who thread their way in and out among the corridors of the city's hall of art. "The Two Disciples at the Tombs" it is called, and its appearance seems to be to all classes. Office and shop workers pause before it as they seek respite from the trendmill grind of their duties; strollers on Michigan boulevard, stopping in at the institute to while away an hour or so are attracted to this painting, and sophisticated commissaries of the fine arts view the work with understanding appreciation. Work of an American Negro But it is not the work of a master of the Italian renaissance, nor of some other celebrity of a foreign nation's "golden age."

Tanner, an American- born Negro who has just returned to this country for a visit after spending the greater part of his career in Paris, Still remaining his American citizenship, Mr. Tanner is one of the leading Negroes of this country who has gained recognition abroad. Since leaving the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts at Philadelphia he cumplied and painted in the art colonies of the Latin countries and is able to convey the cultivated技術 of the Gallic art with the deep fervor and feeling of his own. An entire exhibit of his paintings was shown in Chicago in 1895. Poet-Painter of Italy Land Mr. Tanner leads strongly toward religious theatre, and his been re- ferred to as "the poet-painter of the Lily Land." One of his best known pieces, "The Raising of Lazareus," is owned by the French gallery of the Luxembourg. Rodman Wanamuridge of Philadelphia owns his painting of "The Five Wise and Faithful Virgins," and other titles, such as "Christ Walking on the Water," "Mary and 'Daniel in the Lion's Den,'" serve to show the kind of subject he appeared most likely to the painter.

Harlem Women Organize To Beat Rent Hogs; Angered They Take Cases To Court Stormy Meeting at P. S. 89; Landlord Gougers Fear Waking Up Tenants. By G. E. Taylor NEW YORK, March 20. — It is something more than a remarkable situation in which colored tenants in New York find themselves today, a solution of which is not yet in sight. Even the House Rent Emergency law recently enacted is not affording breathing space about the belt and bread line. Last Monday night more than 600 colored women crowded the first floor of Public School 89 and listened to some stern lecturing on proposed plans that are to be put into execution by leading colored men and women here in Harlem in LEARN SPANISH FREE!

Three Race "Addicts In Big "Dope" Haul UNIONTOWN, Pa., March 20.—Beatrice Johnson, Eleanor Busey and William Eusey were held in $1,500 bail here last week when they were caught in a drageton on an alleged "dope ring." Harry xolotl, 27, was arrested at Bacchus Shop, 27. West Main street, was captured and is the alleged leader of the gang of 13 alleged "dope peddlers" who were captured. (Continued from Page One) remainder of the assets turned over to a trustee selected by the stockholders. This company is still in process of liquidation by direction of the Banking Department. Not daunted by this temporary backset the original group of earnest men bent upon furnishing to the $50,000 'colored people' Pittman a long needed life with safe depository as the $50,000,000.00 paid annually in salaries established The Modern State Bank an institution which is a part of the people and therefore responsive to their needs. It is expected that many thousand dollars will be deposited by churches, fraternal organizations and a host of individual friends of 'the institution on the opening day. The officers and directors selected to handle the bank's affairs for the president, E. J. Bullock, Vice-President, Monroe Groom 2nd Vice-President, William D. Neighbor, Cashier, Directors: Jacob L. Phillips, E. J. Bullock, Thomas Richardson George Arvin, A. E. Evans, Willie S. Jackson, Charles Jordan, Robert Vaughn, George L. Winstead, M. D., Dennis Mosby and M. C. McCowan, Robert L. Vann, Solicitor. Most of these men started together in 1916 and have stuck through all the changes of fortune and are still undaunted. Speaking of their setbacks and successes Mr. Phillips said: "We have struggled through many difficulties and overcome great handicaps in our efforts to contribute our bit to our day and generation. Personally, I am deeply grateful to those who so loyally supported our efforts because the successful team could be realized without their support. If what we shall accomplish makes it a little easier for those who follow us; if our homes and investments are made a little more secure and desirable; employment made possible for our boys and girls who are annually graduating from our schools, we shall consider ourselves amply prepared to make our efforts may have made. The Modern State Bank is the peoples bank and our constant desire and effort shall be to serve them faithfully and well."

Only the shell of the house, which was called a "death trap" by firemen remained Monday. The dwelling was a double house of frame construction. The family of Thomas Broner, which occupied the west half of the house, escaped without injury. Effort to Aid Children Mrs. Stoval lost her life in a [Picture of a woman with a white headscarf and a black dress. She is looking directly at the camera.] Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unisightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I acquired a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25% at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELEENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga. AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Write For Particulars behalf of the oppressed colored tenants. Ex-Alderman George W. Harris delivered the speech of the evening. The remarkable part of the present situation is that while legislation has made a forward step in effort to relieve the situation, it automatically caused the meters to deposit their rent with the clerks of the Municipal Courts of New York. The majority of these are colored people who know a little or nothing about the law and to not even attend court hearings. But last Monday morning's scene brought with it an altogether new issue that has caused consternation in nearly every camp. The Controller of Currency has discovered that the funds paid into the Seventh Municipal Court at No. 320 West 125th street, are missing and this has caused an investigation of every Municipal Court in New York City that has handled rent funds. While the leaking out of this information will not allow even a loop-hole for any of the cases now pending, yet it has been the coloured tenants who have been fighting with their backs to the wall. The white tenants living in the colored section are paying an average of from $23 to $65 per month, while the colored tenants, with the same or less accommodations — many in the same building — are paying from $65 to $165 per month. The courts are jammed every day with Jewish women who want to host for having made an attempt or raised their rent a dollar or two for not properly caring for their apartments. This is the real situation. The colored people have suffered long, and just recently organized themselves for action. But it has gotten to the point where it would be a reckless landlord, who would attempt any defense with any of his colored tenants in Harlem. Now that the undertakers have decided to take the gloom out of funerals by disguising their hearses they should take steps to dispel the gloom that follows the presentation of their exorbitant bills. ```markdown ``` WISHING POSITIONS AS SLEEPING Write for appilication blank.

Barrott took the kid with him and let him put on the gloves to "get the feel" of them. In that first try he broke three of Carl's ribs with his trip-hammer punches and prevented him from fighting Young Griffen in Chaster later in the week. Barrott hung up his gloves and the beeveedee and became a manager instead of a boxer. Libby was his first fighter, and although he has a stable of them now, Joe is still his best bet. Libby has never fought a preliminary bout. He has never been lower on the card than semi-final. He has had 25 fights and 23 of them have been knockouts. He has never lost a decision. A few weeks ago he appeared on the bill at Hawton & Packer's Adelphia club and handled Jack Palmer a neat and gaudyacing.

AFRICA" Wealthy Africa--It is a Re many years, although we cannot get along without our neighbors. Marcus Garvey must have been on the right track, but it had broken rail somewhere, or the English must have not nursed their children long enough yet. This looks like the key to the situation from the other side. These are my views of the facts as it appears from the other side. You must bear in mind a steamship company flying from the African Coast to the United States and controlled by the Black Man, with the conditions as they are would mean inconceivable wealth for the Black Man. The resources over there, of which the natives are the owners and handlers, (and bear in mind without them there is "nothing doing") have outstretched hands for the Black Man of America and call for his assistance. They have the legal talent throughout the big cities of where the High Court is located, which is Secondcade, Gold Coast and the cities number about 14 all told. They have a white judge appointed by the English Government. The lawyers and officers of the court are all natives. Procedure and justice are well dispensed.

Send ASmile To Catch ASmile Florence Jones Hadley I am wondering, my dear, If you ever chanced to hear That old proverb, quaint and brief— "Send a thief to catch a thief?" Here's another, just as true That will mean much more to you, That will make your life worth while— "Send a smile to catch a smile." One cross word will always find other cross words of its kind, But just send a smile, and then Watch more smiles troop back again. So, if you should hear, my dear, That old proverb, blunt and queer. Think of one more worth your while— "Send a smile to catch a smile." —The Girls' Friend. By Thomas Cole velation" fills two positions as he is his own stenographer and everything is statuquo. Some of the lawyers are very brilliant talkers. In visiting Seccondee, which is the main seaport of the Gold Coast Colony, it would be well to inquire for Mr Chappell, president of the African Union Company. He can give all the information that anyone may need. He is an American and well known through the Gold Coast Colony. In Seccondee, they have electric lights and the sanitary conditions are much better than the other cities, but they are not far behind. They have commercial buildings, electric plants and reservoirs for water service. The improvement to the colony looks very slow in comparison to the revenues of same that are derived from the railroads alone. It is really a shame to mention the gross and net earning of same. The trains that leave the station do not cover over 350 miles at the longest destination and the resources brought in are in abundance. The natives crave to get machinery to manufacture their own products, but it seems the English do not assist them along these lines (To be continued) --- Courie WEEKLY HARLEM OPEN PROFESSION Mrs. A'Lelia Walker of New York house for rehearsals and classes.

The Harlem Community Theatre organization announces that preliminary arrangements have been completed for the formation of the National Ethiopian Art Theatre, Inc. Definite steps will be taken for the financing and construction of a theatre building in the near future. The objects of the Theatre shall be to open the door of opportunity to artists and worthy playwrights of the Race, and to provide a medium for the Race to offer its contribution to the art of the world. A School will be conducted in connection with the Theater. The Theatre School opened formally at the 135th Street Branch of the New York Public Library, March 17, 1928. The objects of the School are: To offer the opportunity of proper training for Professional Stage work to members of the Race. To train competent Teachers in Dramatic Art, Dancing, Public Speaking and Diction. To aid in the development of Playwrights and Directors of Professional Stage Productions. To offer to the Race the opportunity for the development of effective self-expression. After the Theatre building is erected the Theatre School will be conducted in the Theatre building. In the meantime the classes will be carried on at the 135th street Branch of the New York Public Library and through the courtesy of Rev. George A.

The Theatre School is not to serve the local opportunity alone, it is a National Institution, which, in human fairness, offers opportunities to all the Race.

THE MAN! Not he who toils, but forgets to save; Not he who wants, but he who wills; Not he who tries, but he who does. Not he who soars, but he who plods; Not he who waits, but he who acts; Not he who tires, and stops, and This is the most PITTSBURGH AS WE read of the youth movement in Germany and the rapid progress of the American Federation of Negro Students here in America, we are agreeably surprised to know of a somewhat similar activity here on the Avenue. The young people's clubs of Bethel Church are staging one of the most elaborate and complete fashion displays ever attempted at Watt street school or in Pittsburgh. Tiny tots, just emerging into years, dressed in dainty frocks of color and hue, typifying "Spring—or the season of buds," are being rehearsed in an original playlet, "Apple Blossoms." The school miss, the debutante and the bride; the social leader, the business woman, the vacationist and the matron will be shown completely and correctly attired in present and advanced styles. We are brought a bit closer to nature in one of the feature exhibits, "Milady goes a hunting"—showing riding attire and sport costumes actually fitted to Negro forms. The range of the display is such that people of every temperament and when will and genuine pleasure, enjoyment and education. Imagine forty or fifty female members of our race assembled on one floor, in their silks, satins, and imported weaves, decorated here and there with diamonds, gold, platinum or a hand-carved ivory embellishment, strolling with the grace with which only a Negro is endowed—and you have a faint idea of the young people's fashion display. Mrs. Beatrice, Page, well known as a church worker, has complete charge and has undertaken a work which will not only benefit Bethel Church, but all of Pittsburgh—and especially the young club members who are willingly, and capably assisting her. RUSHING taxis, glimpses of pretty girls, gorgeously attired, furnished a new-net in the passing show last Sunday. Sissle. & Blake had come to town. Most of the faces were strange, but not hard to find. The came in sight and we sighed for relief. Should be a doggone good show. YES, Can you are right. We do it—with the aid of one wife and baby, some old books, a coal fire and conversations that we overhear. "MY NEIGHBOR and I have different ways of doing good, and earning a living but after considering everything we have something in common, are friendly and willing to help each other." This statement might carry the signatures of two of the best advertised services in the city: Ebenezer Church and Lois B. Pepe's aggregation. To prove that it is not mere talk Deppe is conducting a concert for the benefit of the memorial fund of the above named church on Sunday afternoon, March 23, at 3 o'clock sharp (Please emphasize the "sharp"). The program is well balanced and the beauty and value of Negro spiritulants have not been overlooked—but they are interspersed with instrumental selections, papers and addresses. If this concert is well attended, it will open the way for succeeding priests and eventually other churches will fall in line. This means that the brother who is satisfied with one sermon—or no sermon—on Sunday will have somewhere to go and still be surrounded by good influences. No admission charges. Give April 21. is the date—be there! Bet your money on it. By John L. Clark we you can afford or what you think he it is worth. JEAN LEWIS has decided to quit the chickens and join church—so they say. WE HAVE often wondered how certain Jewish druggists could sell standard goods a few cents cheaper than our Negro mixers—and prosper. Oscar Harris has enlightened us. He is planning to do the same thing and already five other druggists have agreed to the idea. Every Negro pharmacist in the city will be given an opportunity to share in this co-operative plan of buying and get the benefit of discount for cash, free goods, etc. We understand it will take two or three months to get fully organized, so if your druggist can't give you the same values by that time, you'll know the reason why. MORE than a dozen store rooms on the Avenue are vacant and have been for a long time. It isn't every reader who knows that it is almost impossible to rent a store room for less than $100 per month. And this persistent gouging, by "bike" owners is forcing many good, clean enterprises to the back streets. TOM COLE is back from Africa and says that he is glad to be on the Avenue again and see some women wearing modern dresses. WE UNDERSTAND that Sissle & Blake are stopping at Bailey's Hotel. GUS GREENLEE is opening a delicatessen shop at 1407 Wylie Avenue. Mr. Simon, au Asyrian, is opening the same kind of business at the corner of Townsend street. Both will depend upon Negro patronage, which one will you support? THE story is told that Chef Bur- well left the dear Avenue between two suns. Why the hurry, chef? ID WELCH. Len Newsome and Woogie Harris are reporte ed at the springs, getting ready for a busy season. And in the meantime— FOR the benefit of those readers who look to the Column for truth, we must state that the Little Paris management has not lived up to their promise. Our understanding was that a certain article or commodity was not to be handled or tolerated. But we have evidence that this understanding has been thrown to the winds. Some day this same "Little Boy Blue" will want to blow the Column's horn—for an emergency call. JON SMITH, one of three brothers with Stiegle & Blake, tells us that Don Redmond is arranging music in New York and is well paid. It will be remembered that Don was developed by Billy Page, director of Billy Page's Broadway Synopators. Good luck, Don. "HOW grand do the covers feel" was demonstrated last Friday night between 12 and 12:30 by two Negro doctors. Mrs. Oscar Teiry became ill, told her husband, who phoned a Negro doctor.

It is artistic, rythmical, snappy! It can truly boast of quite the prettiest and best dressed Negro chorus on the legitimate stage. The story of "Bamville" fades into the background, appearing pale and drab against the vivid array of colorful and clever-artists; harmonious singing and superb dancing. Nobil Sissie and Eubie Blake have surrounded themselves with a galaxy of stars to add to the rare brilliancy they have already achieved. Little Gee, fair and dainty, is the adored "Marine." On account of a severe cold, she was unable to sing; Ivan IK.

Well known throughout the tri-state district, the orchestra has taken front-rank prominence. amusing incident of a horse race, the competitors, "Dumb Luck," "Rearin' To Go" and "Jump Steady" being of the Spark Plug variety. The company sang from the Pittsburgh Post studio of the Westinghouse Radio Station KDKA, Tuesday night. The Post says of the show: Blake is recognized as one of the foremost musicians in playing in the American theaters. His piano playing is delightful, and he upsets the old rule which says that composers are not happy as conductors. He leads his orchestra with enthusiasm and authority, playing the piano much of the time, and embroidering his tunes, when he wishes to elaborate. The gift of improvization and ornamentation is still more marked when Blake performs his piano solo in his specialty, with his partner, Noble Sissle, in the second act of the unusual entertainment. Blake's piano playing is one of the features of the new Negro production. The Four Harmony Kings sing the old Negro melodies as they can be sung only by men of the colored race. The keenest ties and playgoers, analyzing the tenomena of Sissle and Blake's offering, pay due tribute to the lyric charm of these Four Harmony Kings.

"Blues" Queen Goes Big At New Lincoln Bessie Smith, known all over the United States as one of the greatest Blues singers, opened at the New Lincoln theater, Wylie avenue, for one week's engagement to one of the greatest throngs that ever witnessed a performance of this kind. Early in the evening crowds started to gather and by 7 o'clock in the evening the street car traffic was blocked. Thousands of people were turned away and those who did attend actually stormed the theater. Miss Smith, accompanied by her own original pianist, Mr. Irving Johns, and her violinist, Mf. John V. Snow, do their act in such a manner that they win instant favor with the audience. Miss Smith surely sings the blues "just as they should be sung."

Greek Play Given By Hampton Students BY WM. J. THONY AERY HAMPTON, Va., March 20.—An audience of 2,000 persons recently witnessed with wrap attention a presentation in Ogden Hall, Hampo- to Institute, of Gilbert Murray's rhyming-verse translation of Sohpocles' famous tragedy, "Oedipus, King of Thebes," which reveals the power of drama in the lives of the Greeks who lived in the fifth century before he birth of Christ. The tragedy was played by members of the Sophoclean Dramatic club, a student organization. Students built and painted the staged setting which gave a fine representation of the King's palace, before which there gathered a crowd of supplicants—men, women and children. Students also helped to make the costumes. The chorus of eleven male voices and a group of eight girls, "maidens of the palace," added to the effectiveness of the dramatic action. Two thralls — Maurice L. Adams, Covington. Va., and Junius T. Langston, Whaleville, Va., and two soldiers—David H. Jefferson, Bristol, Tenn., and C. Reynolds McNorton, Cambria. Va., gave vividness to the performance. The playing of John Knowles Paine's musical score, "Oedipus Tyrrannus," on the Frissell Memorial organ, by Ernest T. Hays, of Hampton Institute, gave to the tragedy a deep spiritual quality. At The Star Mary Mack's Merry, Makers, a stock company that has been on the road for the last eight years and has played in every large theater in the country, opened for a week's engagement at the Star theater.

PHILADELPHIA AND THE KEYSTONE STATE Testimonial Dinner BUSINESS MEN AND POLITICIANS GATHER TO HONOR J. A. SPARKS By W. ROLLO WILSON PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 22—Two hundred good fellows together, Muted clash of chin. Tinkle of ice in crystal gobbles. Clang of silver. Well cooked food. Healthy appetites. Mingled aroma of turkey and Havana. Eulogies. Blare of jazz. Denunciations. Swan songs. Salutatories. Plain bain. Thus the testimony of three Sparks, Assistant City Solicitor, held in Garrick hall on Wednesday evening. A general committee of Philadelphia citizens headed by Ben Robinson, Charles Brooks and William O. Holmes, with William I. Mastor, extended invi- dence to representative men of our group to gather in honor of Attorney Sparks, recently elevated to a city office. The response was overwhelming, each one feeling that it was his duty to be present to speak success for the city's people. Mayor of the city and other dignitaries were asked to participate. A social hour on the lower floor of the Garrick served to what appetites and to put everyone good humor, and helped the spirit spirit along. When the guests were bidden to ascend to the banquet hall about two hundred answered the summons. With Attorney Sparks, President of the College, Hon. John G. Ashbury, the Hon. Andrew F. Stevens, the Hon. Charles Brooks, Magistrate Edward P. Carney, Dr. N. F. Mossell, and others grouped about the speakers' table—the dinner and such a dinner! Grape fruit was followed by a stewed snapper, Maryland style. Lobster cutlets with cream sauce preceded a half broiled chicken flanked by potatoes. Of course, there were rolls, bread and butter. Some of the guests toyed with celery and olives between courses. Such things as cream de mint sherbet, ice cream, cake, coffee, cigars and cigars were mere incidentals. With the inner man satiated Chairman Ben Robinson rapped for order and introduced "Prince" Bill Lee, who got down to business immediately as to lend each of the meetings to show respect and appreciation for John Sparks, who was the first Narro to hold an appointive position in the city, worth $3,000 or more. Charles H. Brooks introduced as Spark's insider and friend, friend, friend, assistant city solicitor and spoke a word for our friends in the other race who had made this appointment possible. He contrasted the millions spent for attempted enforcement of the 18th amendment and the 19th renders effective in 14th and 15th constitutions. He closed his remarks with a vigorous protest against "Burderer." At this point the toastmaster remembered that he had a pocket full of regrets and read letters from Mayer Kondrick. City Solicitor A. Annes Scott and E. C. Brown. Representative Andrew F. Stevens culled Mr. Sparks, and his ability and exalted the virtues of Mr. Hall, who was an endorser of Mr. Sparks. Mr. Baxter said that he was not in politics and that Bill Loe had called on him only because he and Sparks had been boys together on the banks of the dear old Rappapoank. He glorified greet Magistrate Edward Carney, the stormy petrel of the present political sea. Judge Carney does not like the way some of Bather's officers try to enforce the law and has disdain for him and some with the mayor. He nets on the basic law that a man's house is his castle and that it must not be incaded except with a lawful search warrant, vault. The youthful champion that he had known John Sparks for 24 years and had found him capable, strong and trustworthy. And then, "Some people say that I talk I do somebody some good. I am not antagonistic to Mr. Butler and the Mayor, but I try to see that no one exceeds his authority in enforcing the law. I have sworn to do my duty as a mandate officer and worry about having done an injustice to anyone. Mandates do more good than some of the people who criticize them. The day of winning the Negro vote, taking a flag and talking about Lincoln has passed and something tangible must be handed you. I have too much respect for Mr. Hall to say the things I would like to say here. Charlie Hall is talking for you whenever and wherever he gros as an assistant district attorney and will not be satisfied till he gets one. "John Sparks will not stand still. If he does not go forward to the Judge's bench in the Municipal court it will be because he is bashful." Attorney John C. Asbury said that it had been 27 years since he had politics. They had tried to clean out the hate Chris Berry, but the Ethnic corner had cleaned them out. The Ethnic corner's office had $8,000 be tween them, but now Sparks was getting that, much alone. Singing his legislative-swan song Mr. Asbury made a bitter arrangement of the organization and of the way it had not supported the needy Rights bill. He was the first Washington and pointed out that the district now represented by the Hon. William Vare was the logical one to have that someone hail from. Anyone who will not make a sacrifice his right does not deserve those help. If you are satisfied, God belw you!" E. Washington Rhodes, of the Tribune, could see no cause for happiness or satisfaction in Mr. Sparks' appointment, contending that we owed no allegiance for it and that it was but a drop in the bucket of what he had done. Capt. Sam Hart, who will be the next assemblyman from the 6th district, made his salutary by promising to do his full duty when he reaches Harrisburg. He refuted the statement that he had undermined Mr. Stevens, whose successor he is to be. He denounced the fact that he was in defense of the ones who had defended them. Attorney William H. Fuller, who is slated to succeed Asbury at Harrisburg, declared that he would promise nothing about what he was going to do in the capital because the state might be broken between now and the primaries. He said that Mr. Sparks was an asset and a liability to the Solicitor's office. Charles B. Hall, president of City Council and the most potent figure in city politics, a man who owes his position entirely to the suffrage of his race, congratulations to Mr. Sparks. He said that never again would he be a candidate for office and that no one could accuse him of selfish reasons for working for our group now. He said that Major Kendrick was the most aggressive of police if one made the grade on the examinations and of other appointments in view. Dr. M. N. White, political leader in West Philadelphia, said that his creed was to support his friends and to be a brilliant I. C. Underhill, Jr., was brief and brilliant in his presentation of a handsome traveling bag to the honor guest. Mr. Sparks, at last given an opportunity to talk, was overjoyed at the success of the hour and dwelt but lightly on the many things which filled his heart and clogged his tongue. In addition to the general committee the following men comprised the reception committee: John A. McKinney, William Alkmond, Jno. S. Black, William H. Fuller, Samuel B. Hart, George Jeter, William H. Leonard, Dr. John B. Morris, James A. Morris, Charles S.arshell, Nested Robert, J. Charles Schaffer, Smailwood, Ernest T. Wright, Congressman William Vare, Councilman William MeCochan and Judge Raymond MacNellie did not honor reception enclosed by their rejection after being specially invited.

Some flowers grow in the meadows; others on the hillside; the forest is the home of so many beautiful flowers. Then there are flowers which bloom in the gardens and on the roadsides. And yet another flower, which only thrives in hot houses and under the care of high-class gardeners. We all love them, but where they grow they come and bring a fragrant and loving wish. And we know that it takes all kinds of flowers to make the flower kingdom. So it jit is with folks. There are many kinds of folks in the world. Their skins are varied and different in coloring. Some come from the mountain; others from the valley. There are folks whose lives know the forest, some from the countryside and still more from the city. And just like flowers, these folks develop and grow in different environments. But after all, the? are just folks; just like the flowers; each brings a message, a thought. And oh, how beautiful it would be if we came to the realization that it takes all kinds of folks to make God's Kingdom. Eve Lynn.

STUDENTS HEAR NOVELIST CITE CULTURAL PROGRESS Urges Negro Leaders To Seek Change In Appraisal Held by Whites. WASHINGTON, D. C. Mar. 20—"Educated Negro leaders should seek to change the stereotype used by a large majority of the better thinking Caucasians as a measure for their appraisal of the individual Negro," was the statement made Friday in an address by Glement Wood, novelist, before a large group of students and friends of Howard University in Rankin Memorial chapel. Mr. Wood said the usual conception which comes to the mind of many of the better-thinking Caucasians when mention is made of the Negro is that type which is beled in the "American press as the black." Mr. Wood was invited to Howard University as one of the speakers for the free public lecture series. The subject of his address was "The Negro, Survey and Forecast." According to Mr. Wood, the mention of the term Negro seldom or never suggests the type of Negro like James Weldon Johnson, Negro poet and author; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, the Harvard doctor of philosophy; Dr. A. L. Locke. Rhodes scholar and Oxford graduate, or many other of similar cultural development. It is always the "black brute" type which comes first into the minds of the better class of Caucasians when reference to a Negro is made. The result is therefore that the better thinking Caucasians are almost wholly ignorant of the fact that there is a large group of Negroes who are culturally advanced. Graphic illustration of the force of the stereotype mental attitude was pictured by Mr. Wood in referring to the first conclusion which comes to the mind of an individual of even more than average intelligence when mention is made of a Chinaman, is the picture of a per- THE STEEL Give Your Life Cultivating f Nature gives blooms and new By work we for them they yiel selves.

When as a matter of fact the Chinaman referred to might be the minister of the republic of China to the United States or some other distinguished member of that group. "When mention is made of a Jew, the first conclusion is that the son spoken of is one with crooked nose and with grasping commercial disposition, when it might mean that the person referred to is a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States "The duty of the educated Negro," said Mr. Wood, "to break down this degrading group stereotype and force upon the Caucasian American recognition the fact that Negroism is to be appraised his individual merit. "The duty of the white man," said Mr. Wood, "is to be open-minded enough: to recognize individual merit;wherever it is found, and not assume because an individual is a Chinaman he is therefore a man with a pig-tail and engaged in the laundry business, and because a man is a Jew he is engaged in mining a 'hock shop,' and because He is a Negro he is necessarily a 'black brute.' "That there may be developed a larger cultural group among Negroes it is necessary," counselled Mr. Wood, "that attention be directed to economic development. Development along cultural lines in any race must be使徒 the race by theisure class of the race. A proper class is obtained as a result of economic development. The economic status of the Negro is rapidly improving. This is shown by the fact that since their emancipation, the property accumulation of Negroes has increased from some $20,000,000 in 1866 to over $1,500,000 in 1922, in 1923 he progressed culturally he has also increased culturally until at present there is a representative cultural group which is steadily growing."

Only the other Drifter made contact with several newspaper offices, he noted particularly that cordiality of greeting, which is really saying something—in New York. In talking over things newspaper with several of the younger seribes, it was intimated to the Drifter that "it is too bad newspaper men have not an association of any significance in the big city and rightly so for, in city life, such size and authority is no reason why they shouldn't be one, even long before the Drifter drifted into these parts. The consensus of opinion is that such a project will take shape at an early date. Then, too, a certain seribe on a progressive journal halted the Drifter one evening on Seventh avenue and gave the Drifter an earful about a certain story. The Drifter had this same story in his trusty note book, which, after the conversation we both had, the "story" was misleading that we had been purposefully mislead.

The Dodge please, of which the hand is death the notorious game is, who had planned the whole base in as short as a shot at Kirby while his back was turned. Believing Kirby dead he accepted an invitation as a guest in Randall's home. Kirby, in the meanwhile, followed, and that changed this record to a result, finally falling him. The members of Randall's house put out to turn down Kirby who sought refuge in the home of the very men who were hunting him, and fell in love with Randall's daughter. When he discovered, whose house he was in it was late to escape. A general explanation took place and the grill placed with it belonged. The policy was very in effect, and the Monday night audition seemed to have failed. The Village Blacksmith, with John Mason, Slim and Ross Henderson was the best act.

J., News Undertakers of the City UNDERSTATES OF THE CITY NEWARK, N. J., March 20—The Undertakers of the City are up in arms over an occurrence of five weeks ago. When a Rev Flemming died and fund the Undertakers were made the Rev. W. W. Flemming Pass of Eighth Ave. Baptist Church with the People's Burial Co. a white undertaking establishment, it is said that Dr. Flemming remarked from his pulpit that he had been in touch with all the colored Undertakers in the City and none of them would accept the body because the Rev. Lovett was without funds to defray funeral expenses. The expenses were expected to be raised by soliciting funds from the general public. The Undertakers of the City further claim that the Rev. Flemming did not approach any of them. They charge him with working in the interest of this white undertaking establishment and that he gives them every job that he can influence. They also charge that it is a rare thing for a colored undertaker to have a funeral from Dr. Flemming's Church. A revered the Courier interview Dr. Flemming in his claims that the statement was made claiming that he approached the colored Undertakers and was refused was false and erroneous. But what he did say was that when in the time of need the white man was your best friend. A great deal of excitement has been created among the colored undertakers and they claim that a great injustice has been done them because Rev Flemmings remarks.
