and frenzy fans who crowded the Polo
Grounds, Jackie Berg, the British
Lightweight pugilist was awarded 2
to l decision over kid" Chocolate in
ten round bout Thursday night
The decision of the referee and one
of the two judges was very unpopular

changed punches like zig gag lightning.
While Chocolate hit harder and clean
er blows than the Britisher. Berg ex-
hibited more aggressiveness and STAN

Major Moton.
(New York Times


 Booker Washington has in Major Robert Moton a worthy successor as principal of Tuskegee Insti- ute and as a leader among his people Of this fresh evidence is the award to him of the Harmon Foundations gold medal for distinguished achieve ment. He has it in his own right and not merely the incumbent of a position which his predecessor made known to the world. Major Moton has carried with a modesty that is coupled with fearlessness There is thrilling recent story of than that which tells of his facing the threat of death for principle.
 There has been in tne program of some colored people a break with the Booker Washington school of thought. To that dissentient view Dr. Du Bois citation for the Advancement of the Colored People last Sunday night It is as the "rustling of wings to which ancient prophet refers, in the land beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, for it suggests a mysterious, ominous moAng among the colored races of the world in which, as he held, the negroes of the United States must join. Against such a move ment Major Moton and his institution stand strong ly They are laying foundations for the only sure way of development for a race that has suffered from bondage to both nature and man.
 Stephen Benet describes wildly the black-leaved tree of the shadow" shaped like yoke, which grew till it plotted out the stars, but the fields where once this tree stood have broken forth into singing and have literally clapped their hands in what the free labor of the negro has brought forth labor which "the universal passport into what ever kingdoms of the spirit are waiting for him "
 Distinction between the races in America is no longer indicated by a horizontal line, white above and black below but by vertical line, with negroes rising in the industries and professions on their side of it and the white his side. Tuskegee and Hampton notably have turned the faces of thou sands hopefully toward future for the race which will build up it's own social and economic life, as Major Moton urges, in the midst of common national existence,

A GOOD MOVE.

The transference of radio administration in Alaska from Washington to the Washington Alaska Cable organization of the U. S. Signal Corps is a movement in the right direction. The admnistra- tion of the Federal cables in Alaska has been highly satisfactory fine organization has been built up from top to bottom The men in charge of the various Alaska offies and those under them are fine class and they give courteous and eff clent service to patrons of the cables. They will do likewise for the radio service,
 The U. S Cable officers and employees play a very important part in newspaper making in Alaska and it is a pleasure to pay tribute to them for the manner in which they have done their part as the years have come and gone They have not only performed their work well but in such manner that it very pleasant to do business and associate with them in the intimate way that has pre- vailed.

GAIN IN NEW FINANCING.

New security financing in 1929 was the largest in history aggregating more than thirteen billions of dollars. according to the annual investment re- view of Lawrence Stern and Company, investment bankers of Chicago and New York. Of this amount about nine and half billion dollars was publicly offered in the form of stock bond and note issues, while the remainder represents an estimate of the amount distributed in the form of rights to stock holders and other methods of private subscriptions.
 Public stock offerings showed an increase of more than billion dollars over 1928 but this was offset by a drastic decline in the volume of bond issues.
 The outstanding feature of the large volume of financing during the year was the emergence of the investment trust a new major classification. Investment offerings totaled more than two and a quarter billion dollars which about 25 per cent. of the total volume of all publicly offered investment issues. In the stock list, investment trust issues comprised about 47 per cent. of the total volume of issues

 Well, then, we're all pleased, ; said the Little Black Clock, be cause I think it's a fairly good idea. tool"
 Once more they were back in the lays when the world was quite Q thew place and some people were packing up their tents and movine.
 All around were a number Of camels and the tents and the be- longings of these people were all packed on the camels and off they started.
 The people looked unlike those John and Peggy knew.
 Let's watch them as they start off, John said
 So they watched the camels as they moved onward. The men and women and children were riding the camels or walking along beside them.
 They had such strange belong ings and quite unlike the things that would have to be taken along if Peggy and John and their fam fly were moving.
 Are they going to house some where else?" asked John.
 No, they never live in houses. In fact, I've turned the time back be- fore the time of houses, and these are the first gypsies of all."
 The very first?' asked John
 The very first" answered the Little Black Clock. T think it would be fun to go along with them and see more of what they do."
 So he found a camel without much to carry and the children and the Little Black Clock rode on the camel and followed the first gypsies as they moved to a new place to camp.

The Greek Presidency.
Manchester Guardian.

The resignation of Admiral Condouriotis from the Presidency of Greece created rather difficult situation for the Government. The most suitable successor was M Venzelos himself but MT. Venizelos wants to go governing the country as Premier for time yet Notable politicians who had claims he either did not quite trust or wanted them where they were. The result that M zaimis, despite his years and reluctance, was raised to the vacant office. M. zaimis has been stepping into the breach for nearly half century now, nearly always in time to avert catastrophe, but never in time to win that that makes political great Yet it may be questioned if any other states try and it is only fit that at the end he should reach office high to be honor rather than burden For M. zaimis it is unique ex- perience.

900 concrete bridge at Chester

by the State Roads Commission
began the removal of the old
wooden bridge which has con-
nected Kent and Queen Anne's
counties during the past 10
years.
The historic structure was
erected in 1920 by a private
company which raised suffice
lent funds to erect the span
through a lottery, a number of
the tickets of which still re-
main in the possession of de-
scendants of original sub

span was one of the best known
toll bridges in the State. Teams
were charged Is cents each for

pay small toll.
Baby carriages were prohib-
tied on the bridge, and bicycle
riders were compelled to dis
mount and push their bicycles

bridge. The structure remain
ed in the joint possession of
the two counties until several
years ago as a free bridge,
when it was taken over by
