What Is Allegro? NY.
Supreme Csurt Called
Up, To Give Answer

White Plains, N. Y, February s.
What Is A Negro?" That is the
question the New York Supreme
court was asked to decide this week
Arthur Garfield Hays, attorney, ap-
pearing for a woman of light COM
plexion and for her husband, who
is several shades darker, contended
that they were not Negroes" and
that they could not be excluded
from an exclusive real estate de-
velopment because of that.
Attorney Hays based his plea on
technical definition of a Negro
by DR.. Franz Boas, anthropologist at
Columbia university.
When the residential section was
subdivided some years ago, the deeds
provided that no Negroes" should
be allowed to live there, except
servants.
Mrs. Pauline T. Cockburn, wife of
Joshua Cockburn, Harlem real es-
tate dealer, bought a lot in the de-
velopment three years ago. She is
so light in color that she attracted
no attention at the time.
Last fall she built a house, the
house and lot costing her about $2O,-
600, and on December 81 she and
her husband moved in.
To neighbors, who are not an
thropologists, Mr.. Cockburn obvious
ly was Negro" and suit was
filed to force the couple to move.

BORDER BRIEFS

Despite the recent cold wave,
excavation was begun and completed
last week for the new and greater
Border. A simple ground breaking
ceremony for the new church build
ing was held Wednesday morning,
January u. Plans for the laying
of the foundation of the building are
contingent upon the weather. If
we have spell of mild weather,
work will be speeded up and the
church completed in a short time.
Since the vision of new Border is
very definitely becoming a reality,
moving spictures will be taken of the
major steps in the erection of the
building. such as ground breaking,
laying of the corner stone, dedication
of the building, etc. This very i'm
portant record in the historical de-
velopment of our great city will be
preserved for the coming genera
tions.
Communion will be served Sunday
morning. as is our custom on the
first Sunday of each month. All
interested members should avail
themselves of this opportunity to
commune together. The usual hour
of prayer and meditation will pre-
cede the communion service.

American Legion

We have seen a flood, several
floods; not of course the holocaust
that at present sweeps one of the
most productive sections of our
country. but at various times in our
younger days when we were at the
lower end of our watershed, we have
seen in a smaller way, disasters OF
this kind that in themselves called
for less comment than the present
record breaker.
Seldom though it may be that
such large masses are affected by
the ruthlessness of mighty waters,
after all. floods are more or less an
individual misfortune. One can
hardly feel the disaster of having
ones all swept away overnight ex-
cept the person actually affected. 1t
is the shoeless one whose feet are
cold, the homeless who most poig-
nantly feel the need of shelter.
We can readily see the nobility
of the work of the Red Cross in
its effort to raise funds for those
unfertunates, but as memory serves
us, we can think of so many cases
of suffering that actual cash cannot
reach, we wonder If some organiza-
ton such as ours cannot expend the
extra effort to do more than donate
a few dollars and consider our duty
well done.
With this in mind, we take the
lese majesty to request the service
end of our organization to plan to
gather old clothes, odds and ends of
usable merchandise, that perhaps
has been lying in the attic or wood
shed for years gathering dust, and
forwarded to the proper persons for
distribution among the unfortunates..
None Of us are so poor that we
can't spare an old coat, pair of
trousers or something. that would
mean much where markets have
been destroyed for those fortunate
enough to have means, and where
the situation is hopeless for those
without them.
Such a move by our post, would
no doubt reach great many people
not reached by organizations in a
similar endeavor, and by the same
token help relieve suffering that
the most concerted efforts could
hardly entirely eliminate.
We do not assume the role of
dictators in this matter, and think
that the finer details might be
worked out by our executive COM
mittee. A central depot for accumu-
lation of articles, baling and shipping
of them are the major elements of
the plan.
l am sure our auxiliary would be
more than willing to help, and we
might, considering this duty well
done, rest with satisfaction whose
grounds are at the best doubtful, as
long as we only do the small thing
requested by the regularly estab-
lished relief organizations.

The Last Evening

April 6 (14th of Nisan). Place
Jerusalem.
IF God Wills" on February Z, at
Bethesda Missionary Baptist Church,
1118 Eighth street south. Minneapo-
lis, we will convene in profound
reverence, and most sincere humility
to again commemorate the Lords
death and suffering until He come,
and our Testimonies and Prayers
shall be-
THE Hours Spent with Thee, o God,
Around Thy Sacramento table.
Are like a load stone, fused and
forged
Of Time and Prayer and Vision,
which with a mystic power up
lifts,
The dreary days into the brighter,
Fuller glory of Thy love,
There to be warmed and nodded into
a calm and Holy life,
According to Thy patterns"
'"The Hour We Spend with Thee,
o God,
Around Thy Sacramento Table,
within Thy sanctuary in prayers
and testimonies and sweet melodies
of the Old Celestial songs are like
the joyous entering into a summer
garden or like the breathing of cool
air, after mild June shower, or
like the climbing of some peak,
above the sun-baked prairies.'
1t was our Lords last evening
upon earth; the disciples had gath
cred round the Passover table in
the Upper Room. The one jarring
note had died away in the darkness
of the night, and a sense of greater
unity and spiritual intimacy-seemed
to draw the little party in the family
bond, when Jesus said to His dis
sciples: with desire, I have desired
to eat this passover with you before
I suffer-" 1t. is not surprising that
the talk on this evening should form
some of the deepest, tenderest teach
ing that we have recorded for us
in the Gospels, and it all centere6
around the intimate spiritual rela.
tionship of the spiritual family with
the Spiritual head; and that oul
Lord sought especially to impress
upon them the new liberty and pow.

Last nlonTn Lile IleSL lost money
according to rumors, for the first
time IN many months. The dIcta-
torial attitude of George Hall and
his chief stooge, Tom Gaibreath and
fear of a police raid has made the
Rest unpopular of late. The major
ity OF the people who brave going
into the Rest, 60 there because of
the popularity of Jesse Hutchcraft,
manager, who is just as popular as
the Hall and Galbreath is unpopular.
Because this paper had the
temerity of questioning the conduct
of the Rest, which is operated as a
public place, the publisher has been
abused verbally by Tom Galbreath.
We know Toms record and the less
he says, the more less inclined we
will be to make known that record.
which surely does not permit him
to throw stones at anybody. For
that matter the record of-Well we'd
just as well not go into that, but
we will when we have to, you can
bet your last cent.
We forgot to say that the "pimps"
of the city still make the Elks their
headquarters. Will the Elks still
operate dance hall without license
as well as sell whiskey openly over
the bar?
Public commendation for our ex-
pose of the present conduct of the
Ames lodge has indicated that the
hundreds of former Elks heartily
approve of the articles. There is a
rumbling among the present small
membership against the dictatorial
attitude of George" and Tom"
the heavenly twins"
Another report circulated among
the brethren and the former Elks
is that the recent naming of a
prominent fraternal figure as ]. Fin
ley Wilson's representative in this
district was not well received by the
present administration at Ames
Lodge. He's little too clean and
above board for them and independ-
ent also.
One report stated the new grand
deputy was not recognized because
ne had not had the OK. of the
local administration. The regular
meeting was held Monday, but moth
ing could be learned of the DISPOSE
ton of the grand deputy business.
A report is rife that ]. Finley Will
son, the grand exalted ruler would
be in the Twin Cities.
AS long as the Elks maintain a
public place they must expect public
airing of their affairs. AS long as
the exalted ruler and other members
of his coteries discuss the lodge busi-
ness with the public, they must ex-
pect public comment.
The Negro press-at least this
part of it's not going to be bull
dozed by threats. If threats would
stop this paper we'd have been miss
ing long ago. Clean up, Elks. Leave
the gambling and liquor selling to
these whose obligations are not SO
sacred.

Beaver FrOIics

JERSEYVILLE, ILL.,, May 2s.-The
strange story Of game Of "Chase me
-and-I'll-chase-you" with a
beaver and small grebe, commonly
known as hell-diver. as the princi-
pals, was told today by Roy Nevlin,
who lives near here.
Nevlin said he was hidden near a
lake watching beaver working In the
water when the hell-diver settled on
the surface near the busy animal Ap-
parently. Mr. Beaver did not care about
the birds presence, Nevlin thought,
when the animal lunged at the hell
diver
'The hell-diver would duck" New
lin said, land the beaver would dive
right after him. Up would come the
bird and in a few seconds the beaver
would leap up and take after the hell
diver. Finally, concluded they must
be playing. I've never seen such a
relationship between an animal and
water fowl"
