From England letter comes to
me signed by the bishop of Liver
pool. It speaks of the West Atr1-
cans In that city and of the West
African mission which is trying to
better their conditions. This is
headed by Pastor Daniel Ekarte, a
Negro of West Africa, who has at
tended to the needs of various des-
titute Africans who have landed In
and who form "a float-
ing population" there for whom
conditions are very precarious.
The bishop of Liverpool has now
taken up the difficult case OF TINS
mission founded by the West A1rl-
cans Despite the enormous changes
brought about by war in the wnoie
economic conditions of England
there are still about million un-
employed, of whom Negro seamen
form part of the problem.

work foreign to what they came
here for. I know personally girls
who are musicians, dancers, stem
ographers, teachers, social workers,
all well educated girls, who are
working for low wages IN some
white family as domestics. They
are compelled to take these job
in order to keep from starving.
Some of them have splendid con-
facts, made while they were in
school or college. They are in
vited cut to dances and parties
and most of the time go out alone.
They have not had the time or
money to meet men in their social
level.
HARD To LOSE
One meets them at these dances
and asks for q dance. 1t is pa
thetic to see how hard it is to lose
one of them after having one
dance with them. And if one is
good conversationali6t able to
act the part of a gentleman, he
can easily win for himself a girl
friend. Hundreds of girls go out
alone rather than have the wrong
kind of men friends. But most
will take a chance and go out with
any man as long as he looks and
acts nice.
UARLEMANIA
There is a sign on one OF the
streets which announces that the
man within does hair cutting-15
cents; straightens hair-25 cents;
sells beauty articles; does electri-
cal work, painting, and decorating;
and last but not least is radio
fixer. This bird cannot starve in
Harlem.
There is an apartment buildine
on lower st. Nicholas Ave-, where
tenants pay a minimum of $17.50
per month per room. And it is a
yalkup building. Noticeable to a
small town man used to many pool
halls or "billiard academies in
town, is the scarcity of them in
I5arlem. One Of the largest in
the city is In Spanish town, near
Fifth avenue. It occupies the en-
tire 6rst floor of a half-block.

Maxine, Louis, Clarence
Click At Cotton Club
By TED YATES

NEW YORK -(CD- Although
Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong and
Maxine Sullivan share top billing,
the opinion about town is that
credit should come first to Clar-
ence Robinson, producer, assisted
by Al Richards, whose lovely six
teen dancing girls stop the new
Cotton Club show.
The show has plenty of sparkle
and the pix doings of both trumpet
tootin' Satchmo, with his orches-
ira, and Maxine Sullivan are pre-
sented in an opening screen bit.
Stump and Stumpy; Kaloah, the
danseuse; Alan and Anise, and
Bobby Evans rate expressive men
ton.
Others in the show include;
Venessa Ammon, and Sonny
Woods, plus, of course, the love-
ly Robinson chorus along with
eight graceful show girls. There is
also Soccarra's Cuban Rhumba
Band. Their friends will be pleas
ed to know that Armstrong ana

THE ORIGIN OF "RUCKERIzE"

A MONG the political factions Of
"A a century ago it frequently was
the practice to pack, or truck
erie" a convention with delegates
favorable to their candidates.
Of course it isn't done today,
what with committees on creden-
tials and all, but let's have a
peek at the Democratic convention
of 1885 and see how the expression
to "ruckerize" originated.
Doughty old Andrew Jackson was
determined, despite spreading OPP
position in his own party, to pass
on the presidential mantle to Mar
tin Van Buren, of New York. He
first sought to calm the Democrat
ic opponents of Van Buren, and al
lay their fears of the Jackson au-
tocracy. Next he issued call
for party convention to be held
in Baltimore in May, 1885, eighteen
months before the election. It was
the first of the so-called "snap"
conventions and it's advantages are
obvious.
More than 400 of the 622 dele
gates who attended, history re-
cords, were from four states over
which Jackson exercised absolute
control. No one was permitted to
make a speech and there was no
platform adopted. Speeches, it
was explained by the chairman
who presided, might provoke an
cry discussion and prevent the har-
mony it sought.
With none but the Jackson lieu
tenants permitted to talk, the nom-
nation of Van Buren, became a
simple matter. In fact, he was
named on single ballot.
The embarrassing part to Jack
son before the vote was cast was
that no delegates were in attend
ance from Alabama, Illinois, South
Carolina or Tennessee, the latter,
as everyone knows, being his
home state.
So when Tennessee was found to
be absent, because of the split in
the party inimical to Van Buren,,
Jackson's ieutenants went into the
streets of Baltimore and looked
around. They seized the first
Tennessean they encountered,
brought him into the convention
and had him cast Is votes in be-
half of Tennessee.
This mans name happens to
have been Edward Rucker and for
years afterward ''to ruckerize"
meant, properly enough, the pack
ing of a convention.
