I DALLAS.—More education in the
field of music is the solution offered
by Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett, world
famous composer, to combat the
wholesale appropriation of Negro
music by white composers. Dr. Dett,
in an interview at the conclusion
of a piano,concert at St. Paul AME
church declared that the Negro has
lagged behind in the development
of Negro musical idioms because
too few have studied music and do
not know how to use the idioms
artistically.
The exploitation by whites of Ne-
gro musical idioms—such as using
I characteristics of spirituals in mod-
| ern jazz—has created a problem
1 for the serious Negro composer.
The noted composer said. “The
Negro composer’s problem is espe-
cially peculiar. Because of the
widespread exploitation of Negro
idioms by commercial composers,
most of whom are not Negroes, the

in his closing remarks that this

At the close everybody was cheer-
ful and happy and the whole audi-
ence was a group of carefree boys
laughing and playing, happy over
the camp just ended and looking
forward to next year’s camp which
promises to be bigger and better.
Prizes Awarded
Announcement of the winners of
the various prizes offered during
the camp period was made. Prizes
are given the boys for the best
kept tent the best swimmer, the best
athlete and the best camper. Prizes
are offered to both juniors and sen-
iors in camp.'
The Informer in cooperation with
the Y. M. C. A. sent 26 newsboys
to camp as rewards for their work
as carriers. It is interesting to note
that the news-carriers were among
the winners of some of the first and
second prizes. Dr. Stone, camp phy-
sician, said that out of the number
of boys sent to camp The Informer
Newsboys were among the health-
iest of the group. He attributes this
condition to the fact that the boys
are consantly out of doors and en-
joy the fresh air that they would
otherwise be deprived of.
Newsboys Win Honors
Among the prizes awarded Ken-
neth Merritt, Informer carrier was
awarded a prize as being the best
all-around boy in the group. Other
prize winners among the Informer
group, were Allen Lanclin, Verge
Anderson, Willie B. Deeds and Ray
Young. After the awarding of prizes,
parents of the boys made remarks
expressing their appreciation to the
Y. M. C. A. for making it possible
for their boys to enjoy and be bene-
fitted by such a healthful outdoor
period as was enjoyed this sum-

states this monumental musical
work has become the standard re-
quired composition in state choral
contests.
In his concert here Friday night
the audience was especially thrilled
by his well known "Juba Dance.”
This composition along with the
“Enchantment Suite," and “Cinna-
mon Grove Suite” have become
widely known as required numbers
in state contests conducted by state
federation of music clubs through-
put the country.
Hits Hampton Trustees
Because he is a Negro and is
known as such by all leading music
workers with students his difficult
compositions reflecting the great
musical ability of the trained Negro,
Dr. Dett can be termed a 'worthy
factor in aiding the race.
Dr. Dett related that during his
concert tour last year through Mis-
sissippi, Arkansas, Kansas and Ok-
lahoma white and colored people
were almost equally divided in at-
tendance.
Dr. Dett, who is a former head
of Hampton Institute school of mu-
sic was open in his condemnation of
the board of trustees for closing
down the school. He feels that the
race is too seriously in need of
higher training in music for a school
as large as Hampton institute to take
such a step.
The pianist and composer says he
likes Texas flne. but that he was a
little skeptical at first when he came
to teach in the summer school at
Samuel Huston college because a
black widow spider bit him. He was
unable to state whether he would
leave his Rochester. N. Y. studio to
teach in Texas next summer.
He conducts a private studio in
Rochester for children of wealthy
parents. He has one colored pupil,
who is very brilliant.

when her hair made her look old and
faded.
She knew why —knew that her dall,
iron-burnt, off color, gray streaked
hair made her look 15 years older, too
old to join in ths fan of ths younger set.
Luckily she confided In a friend, who
advised trying Godefroy’s LARIEUSE
French Hair Coloring. She lost no time.
She tried it that very night.
Imagine her delight just 15 minutes
later when her hair bscams soft, silky,
lustrous, snd ebony black. It didn't
look dyed; it wasn’t smelly or sticky. ro
The years roomed to have disappeared
like magic and she looked her adorable,
self again. She literally made herself
over in a day.
You can make your hair beautiful, too
—as easily and quickly M Amy did. ,.
