Y.—First reports of addresses delivered in England by William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People, have just reached the National Office, 69 Fifth Avenue. Clippings from one of the most important newspapers in Great Britain, the Manchester Guardian, indicate that his meetings were highly successful in Manches ter. Headlining its report “Evil Ef fects of Lynching”, the Manchester Guardian writes of Mr. Pickens as follows: “Touching on some of the facts which the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Col ored People has brought to light, Dr. Pickens said that before its formation the only attacks on lynch ing were sporadic and sentimental. But the Association’s inquiries had disproved the common assumption that Negroes were lynched only as punishment for attacks on white women.” JOSEPHINE BAKER EARNS LONG CONTRACT New York—Dispatches from Paris disclose that Josephine Baker, the bright star of the Folies Bergere, about whom residents of the French capital hae been raving, has secured an extension of her contract at the theater until the spring of 1928. Meanwhile, she has opened a night club of her own where the clientele so far is as smart as any to be found in Paris. Homage paid to Miss Baker seems to be greater than that to any other of the number of colored stars who have invaded Paris. Plaster replicas of the great dancer are made and sold in the streets, and her picture is an adornment in thousands of the French homes. i9949449999999994499+r»+94 EMERSON’S LAUNDRY I The Laundry That Suita All j. 4 1391 No. 24th St. Web. 9820 4 •:~>4««9999994944449«9<“:*<“S">* | 1.

Hayden, who was awarded a $400 cash prize and a gold medal in the recent Harmon award. This is Mr. Hayden’s first public recognition of his work, and he says he is not go ing to let it swell his head. He is going to continue his job as janitor, and will seriously continue his study of painting. In referring to his career, Mr. Hay den states that he adopted his present mode of life two years ago. Up to that time, since he took up painting “seriously” in 1920, he had been a letter carrier. He found, however, that delivering mail took too much of his time. So he quit and took up cleaning as a means of livelihood. “I was doing commercial art then, but I couldn’t sell any of it—there are too many trying to sell illustra tions—and I decided that if I could not make a living by painting I would do some work that wouldn’t tie me down and leave me time for paint ing the sort of things I enjoy paint ing,” Hayden explained. Hayden said he has been drawing all of his life. He started painting in 1920 after he was discharged from the army, in which he served for eight years. He took a summer course in commercial and fine art at Co lumbia University. Since then he has been receiving personal instruction under Victor Perard, an insctructor per Union School of Art. lie was born in Virginia, but de v would like the North better me to New York at sixteen, in 1908. He has lived in and around New York ever since except for three y< t at he served with an infantry regiment of the United States army in the Philippines. During the war is attached to a cavalry detach ment at West Point. OLD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY Napoleon B.
