When it comes to real cabaret entertaining and they say, she knows just the kind of songs to sing to make the tired business man" forget his workmate Griffin, however, will stick to her, the survivor of "Powell's landslide." The change at the club will not effect her. It might tend to make her even more popular among the host of her friends and admirers.
So, unofficially, Monday, October 6 be a big night at this popular venue, since she will virtually mark the since of so many Atlantic City's best artists into the realm of Harlem's brilliant night life.
We even go so far as to predict that when word will have been passed around as to just what-kind of music and entertaining can be heard at this "Palace of Pleasure" on the fall evening; at a premium, especially on the fall evening nights; so great is our confidence in Powell's ability to select just what the club members would appreciate in that line.
With such material to build upon, we know the "resourceful Johnny" we have a "nudge of surprises in stores" can fancy many highly enjoyable things to be spent at the Capitol Palace Club during the coming winter season.

HERMAN INN CLUB
LIARUS
Famous Eastern Band To Playfor Herman's Inn Club
Complete Change of Entertainers to Be Effected Immediately.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2—Following negotiations covering a period of several weeks, John D. Powell, has finally succeeded in signing up Charlie Taylor's Eleven Southern-Aires for an engagement at Herbert's Jazz Club on Friday night, October 6th, and lasting six months. For the past three months Lloyd W. Scott's symphonic Synchopats from Springfield, O., have been dispensing their southern melodies; but now that their term of contract is up they will leave for the west and be replaced by one of the most famous jazz bands in the East.
The Southern-Aires are coming to us direct from Sullivan's. Winter Garden Cabaret, Atlantic City, N. J. Those who had occasion to hear them down by the during last summer will of course agree that theirs is a mighty hard rock band. Herman's Inn that pop, synception and rhythm that made them so famous at Sullivan's. Charlie Taylor himself is very popular as a musician and it can be truthfully that he ranks high in musical realms. He has wido experience in the musical field and has traveled extensively, many in concert with many of our foremost men in the musical profession.
Being so widely known and so much in demand we know that Charlie Taylor's Eleven Southern-Aires will be a wonderful attraction to *Hartlem's Coziest Rendervores* and can't possibly know what it's all about; but those who frequent the more refined places of amusement and pride themselves in being able to classify and criticize performers and musicians what is being offered them for their entertainment at Herman's Inn Club. Mr. Powell has made every effort to afford the club members just the kind of diversion they have been looking for and in this last group success has been achieved. Lizzie Miles the crook song lied as she loved and popular entertainer in Harlem will be transferred from the Capitol to Herman's Inn, and it goes without saying that she will be the same "drawing card." Her pleasing personality and exceptional ability soon win her a host of new friends and admirers, for there is but one Lizzie Miles. Georgia Kelly an attractively

MOTHER ZION CHURCH
W. W. Foster, Targus
There was not even standing room at Mother Zion Church last Sunday, but there was a large auditorium and the lecture room. Junior Church Services were held at 10:30 A. M. The pastor preached on the subject, "Living on Straight Legs."
At 11 A.M. M. Dr. Brown preached in the main auditorium. This being the text Mark 16:1, and spoke as follows: "The day has been set apart by the day when we are to study mission work; a time when we are to raise money to the Christians kingdom is to be set up in the world by the preaching of His gospel to provide missionaries and to send them out. "Go ye into all the world to serve them." These words come to us this morning as a church and as individuals to others. As a church and society we would study missions if we would be able to help others. There should be a program of finance, education, service and prayer.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2—Prof. Samuel B. Ajapca 28 W. 127 street, who will soon make a tour of New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania was born in Lagos, British West Africa, August 15, 1895. In 1911 he was sent to Germany to study medicine and the war. During that time, he was held a prisoner, and was not released until 1915. He then went to London, still with the same rind to study pharmacy. He studied at Oxford University and it was there that he became an expert scientist.
After he left London, he traveled the Holy Land for four years. There he studied the different roots and herbs and learned how they were compounded. He also visited the Holy Lands and many other countries in the Old World.
He came to this country in 1921, and went to the State Board of New York City, and received license to operate business here.

Dr. Corrothers has received commendation from the recognized white leaders of the city for creditable work he did in this campaign, which only proves though he is independent in his political he is one of the greatest political leaders in our group in the state. Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, a prominent practitioner and highly respected citizen, and Assistant United States District Attorney, Oliver Rundolph, who was the second Negro elected to the Assembly of Logan, was a dedicated political leader. Essex County made high marks in the annals of political history of the state by the manner in which they conducted the campaign among our group for the re-nomination of Senator Walter E. Edge in the September Primaries. Now that these leaders have proven their ability as leaders and still have the confidence of the citizens of the state, they should get together, bury the hatchet and never indulge in this game of Mud-slinging again.

Famous Troupe of Musical Artists Close Successful Stay at Capitol Palace
NEW YORK, Oct. 2—Having successfully completed a 'x months engagement at the Capitol Palace Club, 5175 Lenox avenue, Billy Page's Eradway Syncapotors will leave within a few days for Pittsburgh, Pa., where it is thought they may resume some of their former engagements. These men, representing a very high calibre of musicians, have stamped a very favorable impression upon all who came in contact with them. Aside from being artists on their respective instruments and livelyly an excellent hand, they were gentle and sociable and Harlen regrets losing them. Needless to say, they have cultivated quite .. large circle of friends, particularly at the Capitol, among the fellow employees.
Many have listened in on Viednesdays while they were broadcasting from Station WHN in Loew's State Theatre building and enjoyed their work over the radio. Then at night, uptown, in the Capitol Palace Club, their dance music was truly enchanting. It is a pleasure to recall how-wonderfully they played "After the Storm" and "Andy", "San", "Renan" and "reveal" and other lections too numerous to mention and all of them decided "hits" with the patrons of the Club.
It is with sincere regrets "goodbye" is said to the Boardway Syncopotors from Pittsburgh. When they will have arrived home and the welcome greetings are all over it is

What Are You Worth?.
In his struggle for a place on the list of big business in America, the Negro business man encounters a most subtle position which is not fully appreciated until given extensive study. We refer to proper valuation of Negro property. The property we mean stock certificates, land, or even bonds of Negro enterprises.
Like all men who venture, the Negro must borrow. We must pledge collateral as security for what he borrows. Almost every big business has borrowed money at some time. Bankers and money cheerfully when the collateral is sufficient. It is a question of collateral.
When the average Negro business man seeks a loan or a white bank, he at once submits himself and his holdings to the mercy of the banker from whom the loan is sought. The Negro at once face to face with a new and strange valuation of the property. The question of collateral becomes a very serious matter with the banker. The Negro may hold certificates stock in the leading enterprises of his group. He may hold the hands of dollars' worth of stock in his most treasured enterprises; and he may, with justification, think himself worth many thousands as his stock certificates represent. This ours to be the truth of the situation. But what happens?
The white banker immediately revalues the stock certificates. He knows nothing of Negro enterprises, and according places no value upon stock certificates issued by Negro companies. The Negro business man is told that his collateral is not good for the loan desired. Real estate must be offered the place of the stock certificates. If real estate is offered collateral, it is valued in terms of the Negro district in which it is located, and here again, the holdings of the Negro business man are reduced in value, and his collateral has a low borrowing power. His loan, if granted, is cut in half, and his business operations are reduced accordingly.
It matters not that the stock certificates offered and housed are in truth worth every cent they represent. It matters not that the real estate offered was bought by the Negro firm. Some white man at a figure far above its original price. If the valuation placed on these holdings by the white banker tells their value as collateral. They are not worth what a holder paid for them; they are not even worth what the holder thought they were. They have been revalued.
What is the answer? The Negro must deal where his values, and not the values of another, are accepted. He must borrow where his stock certificates are appraised in terms of Negro confidence in the companies issuing the stock. He must learn that his collateral is worth as much as Negro confidence it is worth. Our bankers know what our enterprises must do us. Our bankers ought to be given an opportunity to value for our holdings. Our own valuations ought to be standard rather than standards fixed by men who know nothing of our business values. We ought to be worth as much as certificates, our deeds and our bonds say we are worth.borrowing power ought to be equal to our holdings, and collateral should not suffer a depreciation simply because white banks lack a familiarity with, or confidence in, our business enterprises.

Positions, Not Personalities
The unusual situation presented by certain prominent Negroes declaring for the Democratic party this year, offers us an excellent opportunity to observe the conduct of Negroes under fire. The average Negro is taking his politics far more seriously than the average white voter. Some Negroes are actually mad about the campaign. They are attacking individuals rather than the position taken by those individuals. There is a vast difference between attacking the position taken by an individual and attacking the individual himself. Many of us seem to have forgot or perhaps never knew, the difference.
The unusual situation presented by certain prominent groes declaring for the Democratic party this year, offers us excellent opportunity to observe the conduct of Negroes unfire. The average Negro is taking his politics far more serious than the average white voter. Some Negroes are actually about the campaign. They are attacking individuals rather than the position taken by those individuals. There is a vast distance between attacking the position taken by an individual attacking the individual himself. Many of us seem to have got, or, perhaps never knew, the difference. Republicans hold to a certain position, and seek to just it by argument usually accepted as political.

Republicans hold to a certain position, and seek to justify it by argument usually accepted as political. Democrats take a position and employ the usual arguments commonly accepted as political. It is the justification of position that is sought by any party.
We hold that Negroes who elect to support the Democratic party are without justification for such a position. The chief argument offered by followers of the Democratic standard is that the Republican party has done nothing for the Negro.
Accepting this statement as the justification for the position taken by Negro Democrats, we ask what has the Democratic party done? The answer is very well known to every Negro. But, the Negro Democrats offer that the Democrats "will do" certain things for the Negro—if and when they are elected to power. It is admitted that nothing has been done by the Democrats in all these years. It is stated that they "will do" something, if and when elected. There is no other argument advanced by Negro Democrats.
Negro Republicans offer the following: The Republican party gave us the very amendments to the Constitution that make it possible for Negroes to vote for any party. We must first have a vote before we can vote for any party. Without the 14th and 15th amendments, we could not even vote for the Democrats, Republicans or La Follette. The Democrats did not give us the ballot. And yet we hear Negroes saying that they are going to use the very ballot the Republicans gave us to put Democrats in power.
O, but they argue that the Negro is still enslaved; that he is not free. He needs a second Emancipation. We admit it. But who gave us the first Emancipation which made our present status 'possible?' Who made it possible for us to advance from bondage to a place where we can argue and think and rea-

son from sense to nonsense? The Republicans. Past favors will not do us now, they say. True, but favors are none the less favors.
Now if we are in need of a second Emancipation, and a few Democrats say we are, why do we offer to use all the powers given us by the Republican party to place in power a party that has never offered to give us either a first or a second Emancipation? We did not give the Republican party our vote in advance of freedom. Why should we give the Democratic party our vote in advance of a second Emancipation? If the Democratic party is sorely disturbed at heart over our down-trodden state, let them strike a blow for our second Emancipation. Then, and not until then, will it seem to us that the Negroes can justify the employment of a Republican given franchise to enthrone a party that has opposed our advancement every step of the way for the past half century.
The two positions are very clear. We think our position the better of the two, and we seek to justify our position without resorting to slanderous words against any man or woman who imagines the Democratic party the only remedy for the ills we endure.

Dear Sir:—
I feel as though I ought to compliment you on behalf of your valuable paper. I am a race man from start to finish, I think, and have read a number of colored papers in which I take delight; so far I hold yours as an exception. I think you strike points of valuable instruction for your readers. I read it with care and then send it between 200 and 300 miles for others to read.
It is a striking thing to me how Mrs. A. J. Garvey could see and understand so much about the K. K. K. It seems to me that the whole truth is explained, "the so-called leaders of many states and sections are with flexible backbones and can be fashioned to meet the will and wish of the white enemy. I meet them asking justice in all of its forms uncompromised. Our fathers began the trudge work of making this wilderness a paradise or garden, say, 300 years ago, and were the cause of success in all the wars the country has had. And today the world's greatest organization is against him. Now, says one of old, why sit we here till we die?
hard, to your muscles, to your brains—everywhere in your body. Your body is a stricture! It has to be built first, then constantly maintained and repaired. Give yourself plenty of mineral; for this work. GIVE THESE MINERALS IN THE FORM OF FRUITS AND VEGETALES. Of course, you get some mineral food in meats and ergs, etc., but you need a great deal more of fresh GREEN vegetables and fruits than most people get. CHILDREN in particular REQUIRE green VEGETABLES AND FRUITS as they have great GROWTH PRODUCING POWERS. With plenty of these two foods, and a great deal of milk, your children will grow tall, straight, strong and beautiful.
Leave out potatoes occasionally and always. ALWAYS HAVE A GREEN VEGETABLE AT DINNER! Carrots, beets, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, etc., are green in spite of their color! And, of course the green green-vegetables such as lettuce, string beans, peas, spinach, etc., are twice green!
There are many minerals in milk. Every child needs much milk—a amount of it being too much for a school child. But grownups also need it. If you are anemic and sickly, because of the lack of minerals, nobody is to blame but yourself.
You are your own miner! Go get 'em!

WHITE presidents of Negro colleges are gone Fisk University is at present in the limelight.
As we all know, Negro colleges are the problem has been to get established. By the Negro colleges material assets at all and at the same time have been to pursue higher courses of study, it is natural to have white friends to plead its case at court. But now the Negro own colleges and the advisability of Negroes pursuing them in an accepted fact. The question remaining is the proper name of the schools and the proper "trend" being instilled into the student kegue has proved that the Negro can ably and capably administer schools, however, large or small. So that the final question is Negroes themselves control and direct the destiny of their youth. The answer is obvious: Yes. White presidents of Negro colleges be kindly, mean well, etc., but in the final analysis, the fact of the once unconstitually instills in the growing mind a sense of sense of dependability on white—because it becomes accustomed upon white as the final arbiter. This is fundamentally weaken race. It is what has always prevailed, but it is also what time, to get away from. Independence, either in character or cannot be taught by an example of dependence. Negroes who feel what is hoped for in the future should be committed to future of their own youth. It is the only road to true deep economic factors and great trust and responsibility with this basic change in our education, but the time it takes for the change must and should be made.

WE confess to a liking for praise of our achievements from people, but we deatest flattery, especially when carried to degree.

If a cause people who know-better to become skeptical and dumbfounded and quotations concerning our progress and welfare.
Mr. Bercovici states that Gilpin started his career in Harper started in Richmond, Va. He states the Abyssinian Baptist Church built by Negroes, by a Negro contractor. Sad to relate, about building Negroes did for that church was to pay for it. He states are 400,000 Negroes in New York. By the widest-stretch of the station this could not be true. It is estimated that there are about in Greater New York, this including Manhattan, Brooklyn, North Jersey and Long Island. He puts the Renaissance Casino and fayette Theater on Lenox avenue, when, as a matter of fact, prominently on Seventh avenue.
