“TIGER’S” CROWN
HAS MANY THORNS
It is hard to figure the reason for
such a program as the new York
Boxing Commission has planned for
the new champion, Tiger Flowers,
and if they force Flowers to carry
it out it will surely add nothing to
their credit as boxing heads. They
have pulled several "boners,” but
this will cap the climax.
Such men as Paul Berlenbach and
Jack Delaney are mentioned as prob
able heavyweight contenders, and
both are clever men with a “punch.”
Such matches would not be for the
best interest of the game, as the
"deacon” would be foolish to enter
the ring without “roller skates”
against such weight handicaps.
They seem to have forgotten Mr.
Dave Shade who was crying for a
go with Tiger before the title bout,
but since Flowers showed Greb so
many “gloves” he must have decided
that the honor is not worth the mis
ery that goes with the chances to
annex the crown.
There is still another boy whom
the commission may do well to con
sider. He is Larry Estridge, a col
ored lad who is making good among
such boys as the past and present
champions have used as stepping
stones to gain title honors.
If the champion is made to box
Berlenbach and Delaney in short
successions before he gives Greb a
chance to regain the title it will only
belittle the glory of such a hap
pening as a Greb victory.
Famoua Work of Art
Painted on Cask Top
There is an appealing legend con
nected with the painting of the “Ma
donna of the Chair,” which also ex
plains why it Is circular in form. The
story goes that outside of Rome dwelt
• vine dresser with his daughter,
Mary, and also hard by in the hills
lived an old hermit who loved but two
things in the world —the girl Mary,
who daily carried him grapes to ap
pease his hunger, and an ancient oak
tree sheltering his hut, whose mur
muring leaves brought him music and
companionship in his loneliness. One
day a storm wrecked his hut, and the
hermit’s life was saved only by seek
ing refuge in the oak tree. Then
came Mary, who took him to her home
and ministered to him until his death.
The hermit harbored a pathetic grati
tude toward both Mary and the tree,
and prayed before he died that each
might be remembered by the world.
Shortly thereafter the tree was felled,
and its wood made into casks, many
of which were used by the vine
dresser himself.
Eventually the Roman girl married .
and bore two children. Early one eve
ning Raphael, while strolling, perhaps
for relaxation from the arduous work
of his decorations In the Vatican,
chanced by this dwelling and saw in
the window Mary, the mother, croon
ing to her last born, with her elder
son at her knee. Having no canvas,
he took the top of a wine cask that
stood nearby and sketched the group
then and there, in the soft Italian
dusk. Thus was the hermit’s prayer
granted, for the “Madonna of the
Chair,” and in consequence the oak on
which It is painted, have won undying
fame as one of the treasures of the
world. The painting hangs In the
Pittl palace, Florence.—Mentor Maga

BOOK REVIEWS
“Flight,” by Walter F. White.
Published by Alfred A. Knopf, 730
Fifth Avenue, New York.
Announcement.
March 26, "Flight,” the second
novel of Walter F. White, will be
published. According to a state
ment from the publisher, it is one of
the most important books upon the
spring list and gives every evidence
that it will be one of the most sig
nificant novels to appear this year.
The heroine of Mr. White’s story
is a highly cultured girl of Creole
descent who, through a series of un
fortunate experiences, is forced to
leave her own race and "go white.”
After some years in a Fifth Avenue
modiste’s shop, she achieves great
success in business and later makes
a brilliant marriage. Nevertheless,
she has vague yearnings for the life
she has deserted, and in a sudden
perception of her real destiny, she
leaves her husband and the white
world and returns to her own people.
This is not a propagandist novel,
but a truthful and immensely sig
nificant study of Negro life in Amer
ica. The action takes place in the
Negro sections of New Orleans, At
lanta, Philadelphia and New York,
so that the picture presented is a
comprehensive one.
Some excerpts from reviews of Mr.
White’s first novel, “The Fire in the
Flint:”
Sinclair Lewis—“ ’THE FIRE IN
THE FLINT’ is splendidly courage
ous, rather terrifying and of the
highest significance.”
Konrad Bercovici in The Nation—
“A stirring novel, beautifully and
passionately written, the exact like
of which has never been seen in the
United States.”
Carl Van Doren—“l find this book
deeply moving and dramatic.”
Zona Gale in The Saturday Re
view—“ The finale is as intense as
Greek tragedy, as extreme and as
restrained and all compact of materi
aal upon which not even Greece
could draw.”
Carl Van Vechten—“l defy any
one to read it without emotion.” •
Laurence Stallings in the World—
“As a first novel it is a significant
book. As any novel at all it is worth
while. Few novels have been needed
more.”
People who intend to get copies
of the first addition of “Flight”
should place their orders at the
booksellers now, for the advance
sale has already indicated that a sec
ond edition may be necessary at
once.

Pittsburgh, Pa., March 12.—“ Li

in Fullerton street, near Wylie ave
nue, probably will be given a permit

cabaret, conducted by James D.
Gross, has catered to both black and
white in the past and has been warn
ed several times it must either deny
their Negro trade or the white trade.
Every minute, fire destroys more
than SI,OOO worth of property in
the United States.
More than 2,000 patents are held
by members of the colored race in
the United States.

have been changed, requiring
documents and land titles of
peasants who had lived for gen
erations on their land and cul
tivated it, without having had
to prove ownership by docu
ments. The new laws have been
used to deprive the peasants of
their land and thousands of the
best workers have emigrated to
Cuba. Lands are being turned
over to the American companies
for their enterprises.
4. Prostitution and other evils
have been increased through the
presence of the military occupa
tion, there being 147 dancing
places, many of them of ill
repute, in Port au Prince, the
capital of Haiti.
5. By a secret and unlawful
agreement, the period of Ameri
can control over Haiti has been
increased from 10 to 20 years
in order to assure the $40,000,-
000 Haitian loan floated by
American banking institutions.
Haiti Has No Voice.
“The material as well as the moral
welfare of Haiti,” states Mr. Thoby,
“demands the immediate abandon
ment of the actual policy and the
withdrawal of the Occupation. The
country has no voice in its affairs
and since 1917, when Col. Smedley
Butler brutally expelled from their
seats the Representatives and the
Senators, Haiti has had no constitu
tional representation. So in the
meantime, without the consent of the
Haitian people, secret agreements
were signed with the American gov
ernment in the guise of a so-called
additional act for the renewal of the
treaty of 1915, signed by Mr. Borno,
then Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
Bailly Blanchard, American Minister,
the 28th of March, 1917. That ad
ditional act has never been ratified
by the United States Senate and is
a violation of Article 16 of the
Treaty.
