is CHEST GROUPS
GET INSTRUCTION
Music, Expression, Dancing and
Physical Education on Part.
Time Schedule.

As q result of plans worked out by
the character building group Of the
Community Chest Budget Committee.
Is Chest organizations are now get
ting part-time instruction in music,
expression, dancing and physical edu-
cation which no one Of them could
have afforded to finance alone. This
was brought about by co-ordinating
the funds of these organizations so as
to employ practically full-time teach
ers to give part-time service at the
different organizations.
Because q number of agencies had
asked for funds with which to carry
on these several classes. the Budget
Committee decided to appropriate $3,-
900 for part-time teachers who are
paid 81 an hour for the time they
are actually teaching. The work was
started March l.
Under this arrangement Miss Jessie
Olen and Samuel Bugatch have been
engaged for glee club and choral
work; James Nash, orchestra teach
ing: Miss Helen Dick, Miss Virginia
Griffith, Miss Allye Bowers and Miss
Eleanor Wilson, for interpretative
dancing; Thomas Clayton and Robert
Aiken. physical education; Miss Betty
Burko, special classes in expression.
For the colored organization Miss
Margaret Just has been engaged to
teach expression and Julius S. Carroll
to teach music
The Chest organizations which
benefit through this coordination of
funds are the Christ Child Society,
Neighborhood House, Friendship
House. the Jewish Community Center,
Juanita K. Nye Council House,

One Dead, Scores Hurt,

HARLEM is SCENE
OF BATTLE

New York, March 22-(SpeciaD
One man is dead, two others are re-
ported dying and scores are suffer
ing from battered heads as Har-
LENS worst race riot in % years
continues. Property damage, the re-
suit of fires and the smashing of
shop windows, will mount way into
the thousands, it is said.
In an effort to halt further blood
shed between members of both races,
Commissioner of Police Valentine,
called out reserves to aid the regu-
lar Harlem police. Throughout Tues
day night and Wednesday morning,
patrolmen roamed the streets from
10th Street to 145th Street swing
ing their night sticks, assaulting
every member of the Race that
crossed their paths.
Harlem Tuesday NIGHT was bed
lam with shots, screeching sirens of
police cars, clanoing fire arparatus
called out by numerous false alarms
and the clamor of rioters.
The trouble was the out~rov-th of
a false report said to have Fe9n
started by group of orrsnized rod
icals that fourteen-vear-old youth
Limo Rivera, had been killed in the
Kresge and 10 cent store on 125th
Street and Seventh Avenue. The boy
was not killed, but was reprimanded
for stealine ten-cent knife. He was
released after he had bitten two

ILoca. Boys Staring In All.
Nations Tournaments
NEGRO BOYS STARRING IN ALL
NATION TOURNAMENTS

Several years ago the idea of con-
Quoting an All Nation basketball
tournament was conceived and in
stituted at Pill bury Settlement
House. Although the Negro is with
out true nation, players represent
ing this nationality have entered at
at times. This year particularly
strong group was organized at Phyl-
lis Wheatley. In the first round the
Negro team drew the Swedish team,
which was a favorite to survive the
finals. Undaunted by such magnani-
nous predictions, the Negroes fought
their way through the over-confdent
Swedes to a 1924 victory. The Be-
henian team was t "a ckl d next.
Trailing 20-14 going into the third
quarter, the Negroes brought down
the house by staging valiant rally
coming into the lead with only two
minutes left to play. The final score
was 1888 in favor of the Bohemians.
During the past few weeks our
boys have been doing their bit in
the high schools in the struggle to
prove the Negroes ability. At Gen.
trail High the Negroes lost a tough
game to the Norwegians, 1912. Don
Underwood, Bill Small, R. Sessions,
Bell, and C. Underwood, starred.
Most of these boys are members of
the Imperial club at Phyllis Wheat
ley. At North High the boys booted
fine lead to lose to the Swedes.
Strawder, Lott, and Brown carried
the brunt of the attack. The Aristo-
crat club contributed most of the
members of the South High Negro
team which beat the Jews, 1912,
coming from behind an 81 disadvan-
tage. Bert Lewis, Wallace, Howell,
and Pierce were the mainstays.
On March 20 an athletic carnival
will be held providing several games
of basketball, along with other fea-
lures.

A True Statement
Concerning Negro
Press In MINI.

Lest you be misguided in any in
formation that may be given you
concerning the Negro press in Min
nesota, we will endeavor to give you
the true facts as they are.
Did You Know that the Twin City
Herald is the only Negro Weekly in
Minnesota that has been published
continuously? Many weeklies and
other publications have made their
appearance in the city. Some have
lasted longer than others, but they
all passed. You paid your subscrip.
ton, got few issues and finally you
asked yourself, and inquired of your
neighbors, what became of the new
weekly. The Herald Has Withstood
All of This.
Did You Know that the Herald is
the only Legal Negro Weekly in
Minnesota? A newspaper that does
not have paid-up subscription list
and Second Class Mailing Rights is
not considered Legal publication
Any other publication is considered
q Throw Around Sheet
Did You Know that the Herald has
the largest paid-up subscription, car
ries more inches of advertising, local
and foreign, than any other local
weekly, and more lines of news, To-
ca and national? In many cases it is
the first to publish national news
getting the story before the large
Negro weeklies.
The Herald owns its own equip.
ment, is printed by Negroes and moi
by White labor, or in a White shop

ed in our shop. Ours is a fully
equipped shop.
The Herald has been the training
school for not one, but many who
embarked upon the sea of journal
ism. Some of those we trained re-
NAMED loyal; others did not. We
entrusted them with the task of Civ
ing you the best that paper Of this
size could. If the failed, then they
criticise their I'm mistakes. The
Herald is Your p2oer. We have moi
failed you, and count on you Not te
Fail Us.
