'NOvY MIR BALL
FRIDAY, FEB. 20,

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Novy Mir,
the Russian Communist Daily, an
nounces that its Masquerade Ball to
be held Friday, Feb. 20, in Park View
Palace. 10th street and Fifth Ave,
will be the finest affair ever held by
Novy Mir and one that promises not
only a good time but an unusually
entertaining evening.
To every inquiry about the evenin-
ng's program the committee returns
\ mysterious noncommittal smile.
They won't let single thing leak out.
But reporters must have a nose for
news and here's as much as has been
nosed out: There are going to be cos
tunes that will not be merely cos
tunes but will depict periods in the
development in the workers struggles
for emancipation thru pageants and
pantomime. More we dare not tell.
With this hint we leave the rest to
your imagination.
Remember the date, remember it's
for the Russian Communist Daily and
remember that you will have a won
derful time-so come. And most of
all get into costume and be one of
the bunch.

BABIES VICTIMS
OF The ricketts,
Sunlight and Good Food
Shown to Be Lacking
(sy The reiterated Press)

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Three out of
four tenement babies develop ricketts,
before they are one year old, finds the
New York association for improving
the condition of the poor.
"Rickets may be occasioned by one
Of two factors, or by both together, 4"
the association reports. "(1) made
quate exposure to sunlight, (2) diet
deficient in a food accessory vitamine,
whose nature is as yet unknown, but
which enables the body to store cal
cium and phosphorus in the bones
from the food taken into the body"
Sun Doesn't Reach Them.
Poor children whose mothers can
do no better than parking their babies
in carriages on the sidewalks of
streets darkened by high crowded
tenement buildings suffer, three out
Of four Of them, for the rest of their
lives from bow legs, knock knees, or
other serious defects amounting to
gripping in some cases.
Working mothers on New York's
east side commonly leave their babies
under the care of a feeble grandmoth-
ed or old neighber who could not
wheel the infants into better air if
there were even an open square near
by.
Stun streets are left VIGOROUSLY
filthy, ignored by city health inspec-
tors and refuse collectors. In winter
especially the danger to tenement dis
trict children is great because of the
foul mixture of unremoved snow and
garbage in which they are forced to
play.
Eskimos and Negroes Escape.
Eskimos and Negroes in the West
Indies do not suffer from ricketts,, the
charity organization states, because
they have plenty of sunlight in the lat
ter case and plenty of fish oil in the
former.
ricketts, is most prevalent in winter
in the north temperate climate, partic-
ularly among races with dark skins
in which the pigment still further re-
tards the effects of the suns rays.
Infants Of three months to one year
in age are most readily affected when
their working parents cannot earn
enough to feed them properly and give
them healthy sunlight.

and the essence Of all that is fine in
life, shackled, grovelling at his feet,
prostituted to his needs. The setting
is dark mass of factory chimneys
outlined against the lurid light Of frey
furnaces, and in the foreground, under
the hooking, Jealous eye OF capitalism,
the worker tolls at his wheel, in
chains, straining his great muscles,
pouring out his blood and sweat in
the form of profits for the capitalist.
The Workers Drama League is a
group Of New York comrades consist
ing of artists, actors, dancers and
playwrights, working in cooperation
with the Educational Committee of the

FISK STUDENTS
QUIT IN REVOLT
AGAINST PREXY
Say He Sold Them Out
to Southern Whites
lspeoIaI 70 rhe paIIx w0rksrl


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 16.-Foul
hundred students of Fisk University
claiming that President Fayette Nc.
Kenzie turned the Negro institution
over to southern whites to indus
trialize" the university, have packed
their bags and left the scollege. Only
ten students were reported to have
gone to recitation classes following
McKenzies action in calling in the po-
lice to arrest studentst who revolted
against his method of conducting the
university. ST.
The morning following the rebellion
the students gave their side of the
controversy in the chapel hall. Nc
Kenzie failed to appear. The senior
class president declared: 1.-THE five
students now in prisonicells represent
ed the student body by their revolt
against the autocratic rule of DR..
Mckenzie" The students then passed
resolutions condemning Mckenzie for
calling in the police and allowing them
to use their night sticks and revolvers
on the Negro students. The students
were later released.
The students charge that Mckenzie
honeycombed his faculty with white
southerners who had no sympathy
with the students, that he was at the
beck and call of the southern white
business men, but refused to speak be-
fore Negro organizations. They also
declare he barred Negro speakers
from the university, but allowed
whites to speak. They declare he has
Inundated and disciplined students
who protested at his methods. Nc
Kenzie also abolished the students
councils.
The student senior class has asked
to be taken into Howard university
in body, SO that they may complete
their education
The students staged their revolt
against Mckenzie on the university
campus last week. near Livingstone
Hall. They denied reports given out
that they had "rioted." The students
admitted, however, that the demon
stration had lasted until eleven
o'clock at night, when, they declare,
they retired. An hour later, the stu
dents say, Mr.. Mckenzie called in so
policemen from Nashville, who storm
ed the dormitory, pulled the students
from their beds and brutally beat two
of the students.
The president ordered the students
who gathered to leave the campus, and
sent four of the leaders, Of the revolt
to the station in patrol wagon, after
picking them out of the crowd. Nc
Kenzie later signed complaints against
the students charging them with dis
orderly conduct. The students arrested
were Charles Lewis, Robert Ander
son, Edward Taylor and Victor Per
ry. They were fined $4,000 in court, but
the fines were later suspended by the
judge.
