Apparently impressed by Hagan's scraping and by an 1860 Cincinnati Daily Gazette description of the house as "a Quaker tint of tan," the advisory committee members after 90 minutes' deliberation ruled for "Quaker Brown." "Quaker Brown" was defined by one committeeman as "just about the shade of Mr. Hubbs's suit"-a light chocolate. Said Hagan: "If we get within three shades of the original color anyway, we'll be lucky...

Apart from his flattened nose (which he broke playing football) and the inevitable scars above his eyes, he looks more like a compactly built college athlete than a fighter.

Though circulation grew to 300,000, Tan Confessions failed in another way. Said Johnson: "Our magazines help the Negro to have a greater dignity and pride in his own accomplishments. I found I had to apologize for Tan Confessions. I had thought we could dignify even a confessions magazine." Last week he corrected the mistake. He shortened Tan Confessions' title to Tan, changed it from a true-confessions monthly to a service magazine for Negro women. In its first issue, Tan has everything from articles on "How Club Women Should Dress" and "Teach Your Child to Value Money...
