This is one of a series of articles now being contributed by Mr. Jackson to the Illustrated Feature Section. The first article appeared in the September 21 issue. HOW came Jazz bands with the juggling drummers, top hatted cornets and whirling bass violins into vogue? From whence came the impulse that gave social prestige to the swaying band leader and the muted trombones? In general one hears that the war is to be blamed for the introduction of raucous sounds into our music, and that is about as far as the average person is willing to go toward placing the responsibility for the new musical mood of the American public. One might well say, the World, for at one time, nearly half of the famous Cefl Club of New York was playing jazz in Paris, while each winter for several years past, the Edward Morris International Booking Agency has sent bands to South America. the effectiveness of organization among muicians.

Jazz, the son of the blues, is a distinctively American Negro contribution to the musical lore of the land. It came into vogue through the medium of a restaurant that was once the rendezvous of the uptown Bohemians of New York.

That man is Charles Lett, who, perhaps, more than any other one individual, may be credited with giving the modern cabaret its place in metropolitan life. Prior to 1900 there were coffee shops in New Orleans. There were singing waiters in the places that were termed restaurants in San Francisco. Coney Island boasted of singing waiters, and these waiters worked in the dens that lined the Bowery when wintry blasts made the populace abandon Coney Island until another summer sun again invited one to the water side. In Washington Tribune ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—October 12, 1929 THE FIRST DANCE OF THE YEAR Twenty-five years ago, these couples would have been dressed very differently. Doubtless, this was because the rough and tumble of jazz entertainment did not require freedom of movement as does modern jazz—especially the jazz found in modern cabarets. You will notice also that the young couples are well dressed and respectable looking people. cities like Chicago, one fond of revelry found noisy voiced entertainers in the places that were mentioned with bated breath, if mentioned at all, in polite society. All of these manifestations were attributes of the underworld and they were accorded no social recognition. Polite society knew not of them as places of which to beware.

Russell and in Charles Lett, two clever and wide-Inly known hotel workers determined to have a restaurant that was to be different from anything that had preceded its inception. Marshall was a Canadian boy who had acquired his knack of serving the public in the old Russell House in Detroit. He was a well set up young man with education and a polished air. He also had a practical knowledge of the art of cooking, acquired somehow while he worked his way through school. Mr. Lett, an Ohio boy, had worked in hotels in Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago. His was a varied experience with the public and its changing moods with regard to food. The two made an ideal team. Meeting happily in New York, while both were in funds, they discussed the idea of a business and joined hands to create the establishment that bore the name of "The Marshallette," which was destined to create a remarkable impression upon the night life of the city that is hard to impress.

A short time served to show the boys that this was not the environment environment for them. The Marshallette was moved from its original location in 1900 to a brown stone house within two doors of the then largest Baptist church in New York. on fashionable 53rd street, in those days the finest of residence districts. The congregation and its minister looked askance at the opening of a restaurant so close to an exclusive church, and all of Charlie Lett's suave diplomacy was required to mollify the opposition that was set up against his business. But he prevailed, and the old brownstone residence was soon converted into a series of cute little dining rooms, each of which was invested with an air of, exclusiveness, without any of the distastefulness of the frankly private rooms then so common to restaurants of a certain type. The show folks at once adopted the place as their meeting ground. The musicians followed suit, for there is too much in common between these groups for them to be separate in their social and business gathering places. "Tin Pan Alley," a nickname for Thirty-eighth street where publishing houses once were assembled, was but a few blocks away. The restaurant made an inviting half way place for the boys and girls to stop en route to and from their publishers. Here came Bert Williams and George Walker, then the stars of their firmament. Ernest Hogan found joy in foregathering in the little place with young Jack Nail, an admirer of the professional boys, today one of the wealthiest realty operators in the city of New York. Henry Troy, now a publisher in his own name, and Irving Jones, who wrote such things as "Home Ain't Nothing Like This," "St. Patrick Day Is Bad Day," "You Must Think I'm Santa Claus," and a hundred other popular numbers, used to try out his words and music there. James Vaughn, now a musical director, knew the place in his younger days.

Hodges and Lanchmere lunched there. So did the few other vaudevillians of their day. Pretty soon the performers of other race groups began wandering into the place. With them came operatic artists from the then new Metropolitan Opera House; and in their wake came the wealthy young bloods who are to be seen wherever stage celebrities congregate. It became the accepted practice of the song writers and composers to give their wares a trial performance before those who happened to be there whenever a fellow had a new number that yearned for expression.

GRACEFUL lines, beauty, attractiveness, popularity—all of these are for the girl and the woman who builds and keeps a beautiful body. If you are too plump, or if your flesh is loose and yielding, then it is high time that you began to give your body the attention it deserves. It doesn't take much time. It doesn't. take any money. All that you need to do is give yourself just ten minutes a day, and you can build for yourself the graceful lines that will make you the envy of your friends. Remember, it takes only ten minutes each day by the clock. You can give more time, and it will help, but ten minutes is all you need. The things that you do, too, are very simple. First, if you are very many pounds overweight, you can roll your flesh away. That is exactly what I mean. ROLL it away. Menu for Bridge Luncheons By BETTY BARCLAY Now the fall has come and bridge clubs are being reorganized, hostesses are again facing the problem of what refreshments to serve. I attended a party the other day that was so attractive that I want to tell you about it. For luncheon the hostess had a fruit salad, cheese straws, coffee, a frozen dessert and colored mints. It was not so much the menu though as the way it was served that made the favorable impression on all of us. The salad was served in little wagons. The hostess had taken a toothpick and placed a round cracker on each end, thus making a set of wheels on an axle. Then she put a raisin on each end of the toothpick for a hub. On two of these axles she placed a thin strip of toast and on this she put a leaf of lettuce containing the salad. Of course everyone was impressed by the novelty of it. while you sleep! If you want a whiter, prettier complexion, you can have it with Nadinola! You can secure the light-toned beauty that all your friends will admire and envy with this double-quick, extra-powerful bleach.

Nadinola contains the most powerful skin-whitening properties known to beauty science, yet Nadinola Bleaching Makes skin whiter while you sleep 2 Lie flat on the floor, your arms straight down your sides. Slowly roll over; then roll back again. Do this at least ten times, and do it fast enough so that you do it at least twice in a minute. This will use up five of your ten minutes, but it will also roll away a great deal of fat. Then stand squarely on your feet, heels close together, and your arms straight up over your head. Holding your balance, swing the body forward at the waist line, letting the arms swing toward the floor. If they will touch the floor without your having to bend your knees, all well and good. But if they do not—if you find that you have a roll of flesh that keeps you from bending so far forward at the waist, just keep right on, because you need to get rid of that extra flesh—and there is no way better than this one. Don't forget that it takes only five minutes for each of these little stunts, and you should do them every day. Don't do them today and forget them for a week, or make some excuse to yourself. Do them every day, and very soon, you will see that you are gaining the graceful lines that indicate beauty. Another thing that attracted attention and provoked comment was the coffee. It was delicious and everyone accepted a second cup. Coffee is a most appropriate beverage to serve at a bridge luncheon. Almost everyone likes it and most of us find it beneficially stimulating. It sharpens our faculties and warms the cockles of our hearts without letting us down below normal later. But coffee, to be fully appreciated, should be properly prepared. This hostess explained that she had made hers by the drip method which avoids the cooking that so often comes from boiling coffee. She poured the coffee through the grounds but once. Coffee should be freshly roasted, freshly ground and served right after it is made. The grind should be fine so that all the particles of the bean are broken up to release their delightful contents. Coffee that is not ground fine is not fully utilized. The boiling of coffee extracts undesirable elements from the bean and gives the beverage a higher caffein content. er skin it is prepared so skillfully that it cannot possibly harm the most delicate skin.

About five years ago I met a man who, with the passing of time, I have come to love. He also has a family of children and his wife and I are friends; but he now begs me to run away with him. I like his wife and I do not wish to hurt her as I am sure it would break her heart if we did this. Neither do I want to hurt my husband for he is good to me and we never quarrel. But on the other hand, I want to please the man I love; and if I don't go with him I may lose him altogether. The ladies are all fond of him and this makes me very jealous. Recently he went away for a while and I nearly died. What shall I do? MIDDLEAGED. If you were younger I would say go with him. I gather that he must also be middleaged and probably his wife and your husband are also past first youth. Therefore, you have all established views and habits.

"Ah gots tuh hab um, Miss. Ah gots tuh." Mrs. Wentworth studied the figure before her, a strange fragment of human flotsam that had been seized and animated by this transfiguring purpose. How little she really knew of Mamba, after all. Where had she come from? Why had she sought them out? "Tell me," she said, "why are you doing this?" "Tain't fuh me, Miss. Ah kin tek care ob Mamba.

"Aw go on and give old Mamba the letter," urged Saint. Polly's eyes were dancing with excitement. "I've got it, Mother," she cried. "We'll get her some recommendations and send her to the Atkinsons. She's pretty hateful, Mamba, but she's rich as all get-out, and she's dying to be thought somebody. Only, if we fix it up for you, you must promise to get everything out of her you can." "I think that is a disgraceful proposition," said Mrs. Wentworth. "In fact, I am so surprised and shocked that I will leave at once and attend to my business on Broad street." She opened the door, then turned back for a moment, and the three in the room saw the corners of her mouth twitching irresistibly as she added, "And I want you all to behave properly while I am gone and do not do anything that you would be ashamed of." She turned to Mamba. "Good-bye, and good luck," she said. "Remember we are old friends, and come and see us some time." The old woman gave her one of her looks, so uncanny in their power to convey emotion. The eyes were a little misty, but behind that there was laughter. "Gawd bless yo', Miss," she said a little shakily. Then she whirled her skirts in a courtesy, essayed laughter, and ended by wiping an eye in a corner of her apron. "Mother's a dear, but she's a fraid cat," commented Polly when the door had closed.

But for the most part the three of them play together unobserved. Then Mauma has been known to perform miracles. Before the children's very eyes she has removed her teeth and, holding them between thumb and forefinger, has snapped them playfully at a dandelion or leaf. At times she has even allowed Jack to wear them to scare the Rutledge children until they have run screaming to their proper nurses on the benches. Oh, what fun! She is also content to let her prosy contemporaries have a complete monopoly of Brer Rabbit and Bref Wolf, while she tells her charges of glamorous and terrible things that happen in real life down where the ships come in. Then there are other moments when they have seen her cast a careful look about to make sure that she is unobserved, then slip to the street at the garden's edge and engage in long conversations with certain low hucksters and fish vendors who may be passing. To Jack, who is eight years of age and precocious, these moments are particularly valuable, for he has learned that by approaching stealthily he can enrich his vocabulary with words that confound his puerile comrades with their little hells and damns. Yes, indeed, Mrs. Atkinson has every reason to feel that fortune has smiled upon her in sending her Mamba. "Yes, my dear," she is saying to a friend with whom she is sitting on the Battery on this particular November afternoon, while the children play innocently near by and their guardian angel sits watching them sternly. "Yes, indeed, my dear. We got her through the most marvellous luck. She belonged to the South Carolina branch of George's family, you know, and with that fine old-fashioned loyalty that one encounters all too seldom in these days, she came and offered herself to us as soon as she heard that we were in town. And she had splendid letters, too, that would have placed her any- where." The listener smiled sympathetically. Nothing more is needed. Mrs. Atkinson continues: "Not many of them left now, and what I say is that we should treasure those who are; if for no other purpose but to set an example to the upstart generation of Negroes." "Yes, indeed," as Mrs. Atkinson would say. Patience, application, singleness of purpose have reaped their reward.

LIC SPEAKERS SOCIETY, Box California. Ira Aldridge, the Negro Dramatic Genius By J. A. ROGERS International Correspondent and Author. HE Chevalier Ira Frederick Aldridge. Negro America's most illustrious son, was born in the opening years of the nineteenth century, probably in 1810. Like many another great man who rose from humble surroundings and left no autobiography, his early life is clouded in conjecture. There are two stories. One is that he was born in New York City, the son of an African prince and a colored American woman. This prince, it is said, was the sole survivor of a revolt, in which the king, his father, together with his family, had been massacred. Rescued by missionaries the prince was taken to America and trained for the ministry, becoming a successful and well-known preacher. With the aid of the missionaries, the prince sent Ira to be educated for the ministry at Glasgow University, but enamored by the stage, he left the church. The second, the more romantic, and yet more likely story, is that he was born of humble parents at Baltimore or Belaire, Md., or probably New York City. Taught by German In his youth he was apprenticed to a German shipcarpenter, thus reminding one of another great Negro who also lived at that time: Frederick Douglass. Here, it is said, Aldridge learned German and picked up what education he could. From the shipyard he went to Wallack's Theatre, where he filled some menial employment. But here he met many of the most noted ac- The image shows a person dressed in traditional attire, likely from a historical or cultural context.

Taken to England. It was here also, that he met Edmund Kean, one of the greatest of all Shakespearan actors. Kean, it is said, was so struck by the young Ira, that he took him back with him to England in some sort of capacity—as servant or secretary, probably. --- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION-October 12, 1929 But it was in the dark-skinned roles such as Othello that he was best. The day and was fired example to reach which nearly every actor of the time or himself, namely, great interpreter of fire. As the encyclopedias point out, there is invention somewhere in the story of Aldridge's early life. It is probably that of the prince and king story which may have originated with some enterprising press-agent. made his debut at the R in London, where the oat once stamped him a spearean actor of the first critics were most effe praise, and from then he was a made man. Let gratulation poured in on them being one from K and another from Knox the foremost dramatists. In those days, and even in these, the dark Negro who distinguished himself, was given royal origin. If he was light, it was his white ancestry. Another dark American Negro, very much known in both Europe and America and who comes from the humblest environment, was recently spoken of by a leading European newspaper as being of royal African descent, although to the best of our knowledge, there is no foundation whatever for the story. Life of Thrills. But let us leave these questions of origin and early life aside and come down to that part of Aldridge's life of which there is no doubt. For independent of them, his life is full of thrills and inspiration. Living at the time he did—that's before the Civil War, his life sounds like a fairy tale—except that in fairy-tales things happen by magic while in Aldridge's case it was the magic of work—hard, grinding, nerve testing work. Shakespeare said: "Some men are born great; some achieve greatness; while others have greatness thrust upon them." Of Ira Aldridge all three were, in a measure, true. Possessed Great Intellect Aldridge's first appearance was as an amateur in Sheridan's "Pizarro," where he played the role of Rolla, with distinction. Following this he played in minor theatres with success, and returned to America in 1830. But the proposed American tour ended in flat failure, and he returned to England. It was a bitter blow for him but years of disappointment and almost despair were ahead of him. He had set his heart on playing Othello and during this period he tried manager after manager in vain. But he studied hard in the meanwhile, mastering the minutest details of the role. Made Remarkable Debut At last his opportunity arrived. He made his debut at the Royal Theatre in London, where the excellence of at once stamped him as a Shakespearean actor of the first rank. The critics were most effuse in their praise, and from then onwards he was a made man. Letters of congratulation poured in on him, among them being one from Kean himself, and another from Knowles, one of the foremost dramatists of the time. Acclaimed on Tour From London he began a tour of the provinces accumulating fame as he went. Nor did he confine himself to Othello. He had mastered other Shakespearean roles and he played these as well. But it was in the dark-skinned roles such as Othello, Aaron in "Titus Andronicus," also Gambia in "The Slave"; Narambo, and Oranooko, he was at his best. In Belfast he played Othello to Kean's Iago. Crowds flocked to see him and so great was his name that the theatres were sold out days in advance of his coming. The press hailed him as "The African Roscius," and as such he was now known. Roscius, it will be recalled, was preeminently the greatest actor of ancient Rome. Though born a slave he rose by sheer force of genius to a position of first rank under Julius Caesar. Cicero himself, esteemed him as a friend, and did not disdain to learn from him. Othello. Greatest Role Madame Malibran, leading prima donna of the time, went to see Aldridge, and was so impressed by his acting that she wrote him: "Never in the whole course of my professional career have I witnessed a more powerful and interesting performance," while Lady V. Beecher, herself the most noted tragedienne of her time, wrote: "During my professional as well as my private life I never saw so correct a portraiture of Othello amidst the luminaries of my day." Returning to London Aldridge appeared at the Covent Garden Theatre as Othello, where, according to The Illustrated Life of London, (April 30, 1864) "his success was the most complete." So masterful, so perfect in every detail was his acting that one would have thought that Shakespeare in creating Othello, the majestic Moor—"The noble Moor whom the full senate of Venice called all-in-all sufficient," had used him as the very model. Othello, it will be recalled, was the commander-in-chief of the armies of Venice at the time when that nation was at the height of its glory. He was a formidable warrior but with the soul of a child when it came to guile and intrigue. Possessed Commanding Physique In physique, too, Aldridge fitted the part admirably, he being of commanding height and presence with a well-developed body, and a carriage of great dignity. Into his acting he would put so much fire, so much realism, that at times members of the audience would be forced under the tension to rise out of their seats. One of the passages in which he was most effective was the following in which he laments the death of the beautiful and innocent Desdemona whom he had just smothered: Famous Passage " . . . Whip me, ye devils, From the possession of this heavenly sight! Blow me about in winds! roast me in sulphur! Wash me in steep-down gulfs of liquid fire. Oh Desdemona! Desdemona! Dead! Oh! Oh! Oh!" At these moments he created such pity and indignation in the minds of his audience that some would rise to their feet demanding the punishment of the guilty Iago. But immense as was his success in England it was as nothing compared with that he was yet to attain: In 1852 he left at the head of a troupe for Germany where he played for the next three years in that language in nearly all the chief towns. Duke Bernhard, ruler of Saxe-Meningen and brother of Queen Adelaide of England, knighted him, making him a Chevalier of the Royal Saxon Ernestinischen House Order, and presented him with the Verdienst Medal in Gold. Decorated by King At the Royal Opera House in Berlin King Frederick William IV, was so thrilled by his acting that he ordered the Gold Medal of Science and the Arts struck in his honor. The only other personages to be so distinguished up to that period were Humboldt, famous naturalist and philosopher; Spontini the composer; and Liszt, the great musician. In Austria-Hungary his triumphs continued. The Imperial Histrionic Conservatory of Pesth elected him to membership and gave him the large gold medal. The Imperial and Arch-ducal Creche Institution, composed of the leading members of the nobility and artists of the first rank, elected him to membership for life. Accompanying the notification was an autograph letter from the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, complimenting him on his superb genius. Receives Medal In Switzerland, the City of Bern presented him with the Gold Medal of Merit; in Sweden, where he went on the invitation of the king, still other honors awaited him as well as in Belgium. In Russia, as the guest of the Czar, he played before the latter and his Court in the Imperial Palace and so impressed the Czar that he presented him with the First Class Medal of the Arts. He was also made a member of the Versamlung, and was elected to life membership in the Russian Imperial Academy. Penetrating into Asiatic Russia he continued his triumphs. In Bessarabia, the highest honor possible was conferred on him: he was made an Associate of the Order of Nobles. Students Worship Him At Kasan, the capital of Mongol Tartar, the students of the Imperial University presented him with an inscription in Latin, of which the following is a translation: "The undersigned students of the Imperial University of Kasan feel bound to express their deep gratitude and veneration for the greatest actor of our time, the Master, Ira Aldridge, for the happy moments afforded them by his genius and artistic skill. They are aware that the great tragic actor is above all praise, but while convinced that their words are altogether too feeble to express his merit they are desirous of proving by this address that they will ever cherish the memory of him who first taught them to understand the immortal works of the British poet."

Strange to say, in spite of the unholy stench and overalls, one could seek employment in the great fertilizer factories beyond the city limits. But a gentleman seeking a livelihood in the early nineteen hundreds could not engage in any branch of the retail business without imposing upon his humiliated family the burden of in- cessant explanation.

On the first day he had stood looking down that alluring perspec- tive until he had to be ce to twice by the cashier before he heard.

One of the most remarkable features about him was his head with its lofty, intellectual forehead. According to one encyclopedia his head measured 22 and a half inches. Perhaps no American actor, before or since, has received as much honor as he. "The Continent," says the Encyclopera Americana. "ranked him as one of the foremost actors of the age, and great sovereigns, with cities like ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION October 12, 1929 A man sits in a chair, reading a book, with a child lying on his lap.

Bern, showered honors and decorations on him, and made him member of all sorts of learned societies." "As an interpreter of Shakespeare," says Appleton's encyclopedia, "he was very generally regarded as one of the best and most faithful....On the Continent he ranked as one of the ablest tragedians of the time; honors were showered upon him wherever he went." In 1867 while at the summit of his triumphs he died, at Lodz, Poland, on August 7, while on his way to Russia, whither he had again been invited by the Czar. Talented Children He left a son and two daughters. The former, after winning much success as a pianist, died young; the latter, who were infants at the time of his death, are still alive. The elder of the two, Miss Lauranah, after being a successful grand opera artist for some years, was attacked by rheumatism, and has been an invalid ever since.

Pour boiling water over them and cover tightly for two minutes, then quickly drain and cover with cold water. This will loosen skins. Peel tomatoes, being careful not to break them. If skins will not come off, treat them again with boiling water. Place the sugar and tomatoes in a crock or enamel dish and let stand overnight.

It was a rigorous school, but the acceptances or rejections of the publishing houses further down town soon gave the ring of authority to the gang decisions. In a comparatively short time, the boys began to do trick stuff for one another's delectation and amusement. These tricks soon became talked about, and as the novelty became more widely known by word of mouth, the little restaurant began to take on a genuinely cosmopolitan air. Such youngsters as the Vanderbilts, the Hannan boys, sons of the rich shoe manufacturer; Mark Hanna, Jr., son of the Cleveland millionaire politician; the younger Goulds, the Belmont boys, the Brokaw boys, then young sports; together with wine agents and theatrical managers, became enthusiastic over what they saw there. The logical consequence of this interest was that very soon these sporting youngsters, who could afford to satisfy any whim that appealed to them, began asking this, that, or the other one of the musicians and entertainers that gathered at the Marshallette, to play for private parties and for dances at hotels. Later, groups of them were asked to entertain at Firth Avenue homes and upon Long Island and Westchester estates. The novel antics that did not interrupt the rythm of the dance music were enjoyed by the jaded society girls and the sub-society folks that at times were guests of these people. Interest grew to the point that Jim Cotton, chief house detective of the Waldorf; Mr. Grogan, the manager of the Knickerbocker hotel, aristocratic sport headquarters of the period, and the Astor house, staid as it was, were constantly being called upon for boys from the Marshallette. The boys, then known as "Giggers," had their counterpart in Chicago; for, both the musicians and those whom they entertained were, to a great extent, inclined to be interchangeable as to their residence in the two biggest cities in the land.

The young son’s first day in school is often made miserable mainly by the lingering mother’s fear of a day’s separation. For such parents, life is just a series of dreads which not only. restrict usefulness and happi- ness but cause parents to hand them down to the next generation. So it is well to stop and consider this whole question of fear. Fear is one of the most important forces working within us. We do much or refrain from many things because of fear. By actual experi- ment with new-born babies in a ma- ternity hospital in Baltimore, Dr. ‘Watson, a physician and psycholog- ist, has proved that we are born with but one or two fears at the most. One of these is fear of sudden withdrawal of support or falling. Another 1s tear of a loud noise. All other fears, he maintains, are taught to us or ac- quired from conditions around us. I can hear the average mother who dislikes giving up ideas which have been with her for years. “But,” she argues, “do not some fears serve a useful purpose and keep the child out of danger? Must a child fear nothing—not even fire, or say an open window?” To which = make answer: ene So-ant ee ee ; ey si joughts an’ Toaines which ‘spread out and make for unhealthy mental states in re- gard to totally healthy activities. “What then. shall we do about fire, ete.” asks the still unconvinced mother.

With this appliance she has the same control over the temperature in her refrigerator as she has in the use of her oven heat regulator on the gas range. A dial with six stops, regulating the degree of cold, is the only machinery necessary for her to operate. It is as simple as turning a radio dial.

When I would lie down it seemed I would smother to death. Since taking Nacor, every symptom of asthma has left me, and I did not have a bad cold or cough all winter. I am stronger than I have been for years." Hundreds of other sufferers from asthma, bronchitis and chronic coughs have reported their recovery, after years of affliction.

From the peanut, he has gotten one hundred and sixty-five products. Some of these are fattening oil, bleaching cream, coffee and milk topped with cream. A drink of peanut coffee with the necessary amount of peanut cream and sugar is absolutely indistinguishable from regular coffee. Taste experts have corroborated this discovery. Dr. Carver has also made from the clay in and around Tuskegee Institute three hundred different paints which can be used satisfactorily. Among these paints is an Egyptian blue. This blue, which is a very rich dark color, had never before been made in the exact shade used by the ancient Egyptians. Hitherto, the duplication of it has been considered an impossibility. Dr. Carver has obtained the exact shade. While all of his discoveries do not seem highly practical at the present time, they will undoubtedly lead to a solution of a great many of the economic problems in the South. Some time ago Dr. Carver received the Spingarn award which is presented each year to the Negro achieving the highest distinction in the arts or sciences.

Tango Week-end Suggestions and Recipes Into a well-buttered pan put slices of raw peeled potatoes and a little pepper. Then a layer of uncooked, sliced ham. Add another layer of potatoes and ham and pour on thin cream sauce (1 tablespoon flour, 1 tablespoon butter, to 1 cup milk). Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and bake in a moderate oven until brown and potatoes are well done. Serve hot. Just enough ham can be used to give the desired flavor, which has the advantage of making a little ham go a long way. For picnics this can be baked at home in a heavy tin dish with a cover and reheated over hot water on a camp-fire. A SUMMER DISH New York Salad 4 slices pineapple DARK SKINS Brightened!

WRITE FOR TRIAL TODAY— Name Address (Continued from page eight) There came a separation of the partners in the now big restaurant, and Lett went to Chicago, where he ventured into several attempts to duplicate his New York success, but Chicago would not take to it in the way that New York had done. Meanwhile, the Clef Club, with a membership of more than three hundred union musicians, grew out of the restaurant gang when Will Marion Cooke, ceibrated in Europe and America for his compositions, urged the fellows to organize as a protest against the increased price the Marshallette established for the beer served to them. The club now owns property on the opposite side of the street from its birthplace in the Marshallette basement. The Clef club is taxed at more than a hundred thousand dollars on realty and furnishings. Others of the one time patronage followed the race trek to Harlem, where the musicians' headquarters, Deacon Johnson's booking office, the Dressing Room club, and the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent club are the legitimate heirs of the idea that found birth in the restaurant. room with warm vibrations; they entered into the boy's body and started something glowing there. No one had been so understanding before. He felt suddenly that he would like to show this friend what he could do. Perhaps there would be a riot at the factory, all of the other white men gone, and he there alone reasoning with the mob. Or perhaps it would be a fire. He saw himself grown suddenly to splendid stature smashing down a barrier with an axe, manning the hose. He saw the flame leap, gather headway, and roar down the great funnel of a building. Horrors! Mr. Raymond had been talking to him. The big hand slapped the table, and across Saint's vision crashed the words: "What do you say to that?" What had it been? Saint groped back among the spent words that had scarcely grazed his consciousness. It was no use, they were gone. His benefactor was leaning forward expectantly, waiting for an answer. "Thank you very much, Mr. Raymond," he said lamely, and wondered wildly what he was being grateful for. "Good! You accept, then?" "Yes, indeed, sir." "Well, we'll start you with five dollars a week. I am going out to the mines myself tomorrow, and I'll take you along. Be here at nine o'clock and bring your grip, so that you won't have to come back for your clothes." The big man got to his feet and put his hand on the bewildered boy's shoulder. "Started with one myself, ended up with a chain, then came on in here. So you see it can be done," he said, smiling. 1930 Science Proves Hair Roots Can Grow Back Grow Beautiful Hair O LUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—October 1929 OVER 50,000 RACE MEMBERS KNOW THAT GLANDS WILL GROW NEW HAIR—FREE FROM KINKS AND SCANTY UGLINESS Wealthy and prominent Race members loudly praise Mr. Anderson for this wonderful hair and scalp treatment.

WRITE FOR TRIAL TODAY—NO RICK GUARANTEE The concluding slap at the institution was an outgrowth of the World War. "Jim" Europe took many of the boys with him and the "Fighting Fifteenth" to the war. While in Europe, these boys played for distinguished executives of many nations, for convalescent officers of many countries, and for the more humble citizens of the towns in which the band was billeted. They introduced their trick stuff, which they had learned in the New York eating place, to Europe. With the war over, and the struggle for recovery of nerves on, a sedative was demanded by the people both here and there. The type of music that had been nursed into vogue in the little restaurant was just the thing; and pitiful as it may seem, the very thing that had made the place what it was, ruined it. The musical bunch, in response to public clamor, was scattered all along the Atlantic coast, and pioneer groups were sent to every capital in Europe. In the street Saint stopped and looked up at the window of the room he had left. "Ended up with a chain," he muttered dubiously. "What kind of a chain. I wonder." END OF INSTALLMENT II.

In fact, so many went to Paris that a Cief Club of Paris was established. Now, a musician can not be in two places at once, and this scattering of the boys brought the situation at the Marshallette to a climax. Marshall, too, gave up and went to Canada, and has since passed away. For, with the departure of the composers, entertainers and musicians, the lure that drew the rich patrons no longer existed. With the usual perspicacity of the imitator, every man who could assemble a band did so. Publicity was bought, silly stories told to reporters about this and that one being the original jazz master, and the vogue was on. Because of this command of publicity the names of Paul Whiteman, Paul Ash, Duke Yellman, and a score of other aliens have been riveted upon the public mind, each as an originator of jazz. One may stand any day at the corner of 46th street and Broadway and meet hundreds of white fellows each claiming to be a member of the "original" jazz band. And they insist upon one believing them.
