FRIENDS URGE DUDLEY'S NAME FOR FARM POST Coolidge Has Named Only Three Negroes To Federal Office Since 1924 ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY GIVEN BEFORE MARCH 4 Candidate Would Be In Position To Aid Thousands On Dixie Farms WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special)—As the administration of Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States draws to an end and the regime of Herbert Clark Hoover looms over the horizon, the Negro is carefully watching the signs that will indicate the way the political winds are blowing so far as the race is concerned. For over seven years Mr. Coolidge has ruled supreme in the White House, but during this time he has made but three appointments for the Negro race. Several times he was reported on the verge of making an outstanding appointment, or appointing Negroes to some commission where they could be of service to their group, but each time something intervened with the result that nothing has been done. Sympathetic Now It is now stated on good authority that Mr. Coolidge is sympathetic to the aims and aspirations of the Negro people and that he would like to show his sympathy in a tangible way before leaving the White House. Farm Loan Board Therefore, it has been suggested that the President again consider the points advanced by the race leaders and for at that time, was that a Negro be appointed a member of the Federal Board to loan funds to rural farmers. Therefore, the Negro farmers who represent large numbers in this south, could be helped on a board that could rise above race prejudice. Three Names So, Mr. Coolidge is now being prevailed upon to appoint some prominent Negro to this important board. He already has upon his desk the names of three prominent race men for such an appointment, and these names before him since he took the Presidency. It is now proposed to add a fourth name to the list, that of Samuel Madison Dudley, an attorney, Washington, D.C., who has been prevailed upon. Mr. Coolidge is now serving his second term as Secretary of the Church Extension Department of the A.M.E. Zion Church. Born On A Farm Born on a farm in Sumter County, Alabama, he spent practically all his life working as one of the early cotton farmers of his section. He was born upon the farm which he later operated on. Mr. Dudley is a graduate of the law department of Howard Uni- tary, a member of the District of Galveston. Works In South As Church Extension Secretary he has been called on to work extensively among the rural churches of the south where membership are few. He has also been called on his position in the church, these farmers have frequently called upon him to assist them in their private business. He has had to counsel with them and to assist them with their limited means would permit. Practical Man In New Role As Receiver For Bapt. Convention 25 FORT WORTH, TEXAS.-William M. "Goosenell Bill" McDonald, for many years republican leader here, but in the recent campaign an Al Smith man, president of the Fraternal Bank and Trust Company, and one of the leading business men of the state, was named receiver for the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, here last week. The convention has been split into factions for several years and at the last meeting police were called upon to keep order. The convention is Houston College. Stockholders are showing judgments against the convention and other indebtedness amounting to $98,000. Stockholders are calling calls upon Baptist men to quit supporting the convention until the preachers decide to get together and quit fighting. CLEVELAND BRIBE (Continued from Page 1.) ten policy of the incoming Administration to give considerable of its attention to the farming element of the entire country, white and black, certainly it would be political wisdom to place a colored farmer on this board. Owns 50 Per Cent. The Negro practically owns fifty per cent of the farm-land in the south and tills over seventy-five per cent. His condition is in an extreme chaotic state because of the peculiar policy of southern banks and money lenders. These agencies always take advantage of the rules and customs of the south the Negro farmer has no resource except through the Federal Government. Fleming testified that the ordinance which reimbursed the crippled detective to the extent of $1,740.60 was introduced in his name but that he had no reason to pass. The second ordinance was introduced in his name, but it was necessary as the matter was turned over to the department of public safety. He denied any aid he received to accept any money from Calmie for helping him out, pointing to the fact that he had helped him in many other ways. His testimony... was somewhat substantiated him who testified that Quaquah and his wife had come to their home one afternoon in the early part of September and asked, "Could you cash a check for me?" She advised him when she learned that the check that much money, but he would find Mr. Fleming at the Elk's home. Dr. Edward A. Bailey stated that he was at the Elk's home the day of the trial, and had seen Fleming cash a check for the disable, detective. Mayor and Officials Testify Mayor John D. Marshall, president of the council, had known Councilman Fleming for fourteen years and in that time had never heard the defendant's honesty questioned, and that alike both ordinances bore the Councilman had not signed either of them. Fred W. Thomas, city clerk, also testified as to Fleming's honesty, integrity and reputation and traced the movement of the ordinances; one of the officers of the council present, but Fleming was not present. The second, calling for $354, was referred to the department of public safety. Jury deliberates the诉到 the jury at 1:15 o'clock Thursday afternoon and at ten-thirty had not reached a verdict. At this time the members were permitted to go to a hotel for the review of the verdict. Friday evening at 9 o'clock. After deliberating for two and a half hours the verdict was reached. The conviction carries a sentence of from one to ten years in prison. It also means the councilman will automatically be ousted from the city council. Fleming started life here as a barber from 1894-1906. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and practiced law here since. He was first elected to the council in 1910 and has been reelected every two years. He is a member of the Coinsis. There are three children. 13,646 In College NEW YORK—Lester A. Walton writing in the New York World, estimates that there are 13,646 colored students now in college.

JACKSON, Miss., (Special)—Back of the disbursement of S. D. Redmond, attorney and richest real estate owner in the county, in the dimly, is the effort to drive colored lawyers out of the state. The there are a million Negroes in the state, only two colored lawyers have been admitted to the practice of law here in the past 18 years. Some counties in Mississippi do not permit a Negro attorney to enter the court. Judge V. J. Stricker revoked the license of Redmond, and when he asked for a new trial, fined him $300 and added a jail sentence thirty times the amount permitted by law. Redmond appealed after, furnished bond and is still practicicing law. If refused to leave without sentence if Redmond would leave the state. He refused. Federal patronage. What do you think of that, gentleman? Why? We coming to that. This must be good. The Bar Association took no part in the disbursement trial. Retort. Unruffed. Redmond declared in the Court had unwittingly and consciously fallen into the trap and could not give the kind of trial that is contemplated under the fifth and fourth amendments of the Federal Constitution and asked him to excuse himself to let another judge try the matter. For this he was adjudged in contempt. Too Active. Both Redmonds have been active at the bar's suit! Missy-white. Their injunction against the Baird Eye Cotton Mill, white, caused close to 110,000 damages sustained by blink and dust from the mill. Redmond is stat.-Republican leader, and chief opponent of the lil-wites. Disbarment charges against his son, Sidney Redmond, also an attorney, were disbarred. Charges Charges against Redmond including levying a fee of $1,000 for settlement of a $110,000 estate when the court had allowed but $200. The estate was silted in five different states and the court had power to fix the fee for settling that part of the estate located in its jurisdiction. Second Charge The second charge involves Redmond's suit in the S. Court to prevent white business interests from confessing a $40,000 lot belonging to Galvin Moore, of Chicago, recently discovered heir. The business interests carried the same case to the state courts and won. Judge Stricker enjoined Redmond-from proceeding in Federal Court with his case, and cited him for contempt when he refused. The case is still pending in the U. S. Court. The third disarmment charge involved Redmond's alleged sale of Federal Jobs. No evidence was presented. Indictments against the man were dropped last year. Returned last year. Howard was dismissed, the Redmonds have not been tried. **Judge Stricker** Judge Stricker is of the type that rebukes witnesses in court for calling the man "stuff." "Cut out that stuff here," he said. In delivering his opinion, in the disbursement case, Judge Striker said: 'I command and convolte the illusion that the one of the leading counsel for the defense in this case and the Confederate Veterans who were members of the Confederate Army in 1860 by whose noble efforts this question of 'niggers' particuliat in politics had been eliminated and set at --- Patronage Judge Stricker IS A WITNESS MY LORD" US COMES" THROUGH JESUS" IN THE BAND" 75¢ Records RIC West 45th Street, New York, N.

For these purposes, here is a homemade medicine, far better than anything you could buy at 3 times the price of Dixine. Put this in a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to fill up the pint. This takes but a moment, and you can never do without, once you have used it. Keep perfectly, and children like it. This simple remedy does three more things. It loosens the germ-laden plaque. At the same time it is absorbed into the blood, which acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This explains why it brings such quick relief, "the cough." Pinex is slightly concentrated compound of pineine Norway Pine, containing the live agent of creosote, in the form of pine oil, which is one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles.

I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used BlackDraught frequently for a heartburn, as the kind of spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close to constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking BlackDraught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all druggists.

Any doctor can tell you that Bayer Aspirin is safe to use freely. When your throat is raw and sore, you can ease it with a simple gargle which you can make just by dissolving two Bayer Aspirin tablets in four tablespoonfuls of water. Even in tonsilitis, you need not repeat the gargle many times for full relief. Only one thing to watch —always get Bayer Aspirin! The genuine has the Bayer Cross on every package and tablet.

Senate Sub-Committee Makes Changes In District Bill Senate Sub-Committee Makes Changes In District Bill Delegation Led By Neval Thomas And Kelly Miller Before Appropriations Committee WASHINGTON, D. C. — The subcommittee of the Senate appropriations committee having charge of the District of Columbia appropriation bill increased the House amounts for colored schools but gave its sanction to covenants binding property to call to or permit their property to be used or occupied by colored persons. It refused to strike out a provision for the purchase of a new site for the school. A site had already been purchased by the District commissioners on Bladensburg Road opposite the MLK Library, and dealers opposed the location of a health school for colored children on this site on the ground that there was a school in this section to the effect that owners shall not sell to colored persons. They also claimed a colored school would unrepresent the value of their property. Delegation - The House authorized the purchase of a new site. A delegation of colored persons appeared before the Senate, subcommittee and protested against the purchase, which had already been purchased. The spokesmen for this delegation were: Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People; Baddy Thomas A. Johnson, A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Mrs. Murray and Dean Kelly Miller. This delegation urged the subcommittee to restore items which were recommended by the Griet Bureau but struck out by the House. Gregory School An eight-room addition to the Lovejoy School building was refurbished by white people on the ground that there are a larger number of white people living the vicinity of the Lovejoy school than colored.

SPIRI Bayer Manufacture of Monoaceticacidester of Sa school occupies the new $1,500,000 building, was strenched from the bill. In place of the items for the addition, the committee added a purchase of additional land adjoining the Gildings school, the committee added $110,000 for the purchase of a site on which to locate a new platoon school building and meet the needs of the coronarium in northeast, Washington. The building plan already provided for the purchase of a site for a new junior high school in that section. Junior High School The School is also restricted the erection of a new junior high school building to a site being purchased for that purpose in the Reno section. This is a colored section, which is being replaced by white people, and the real estate dealers are anxious to force colored property owners out by the taking of their property for school or public park purposes.

HOUSE THRIVING Master Of Ceremonies At Howard Theatre Popularizes Presentations BOTH RACES ATTENL New Type Of Entertainment Takes Capital By Storm WASHINGTON. — Washingtonians of all classes are showing their appreciation for the new type of entertainment being presented weekly at the Howard Theatre by filling every available seat for the three performances a day. The Midnight Rambles on Friday nights cause traffic to be halted in the vicinity of 7th and T streets while the "line forms at the right." There is a goodly patronage from the show people from the downtown theatres, who take advantage of this midnight performance, which is their opportunity to view the presentations. Writes Comedy and Music Shelton Shilton, written by the Master of Ceremonies, writes the hakaokes and comedy and many songs. He is at his best when he sit at his little red piano and, by special request, he plays the "Wall" and "Four or Five Times." Many people have endeavored to compliment him by saying he is the best comedian, and the comparison is not fitting, but Bert is remembered for his droll, shuffling fun-making; while Shelton is a fast worker, bubbling over: with wit, and humor, he is a comedian but is just as good "true to life." Shelton was born in Amsturg, Ontario, and maybe that accounts for his natural English accent The first presentation was CHRISTMAS GIFTS, and right off the bat Shelton Brooks proved a WOW as Master of Ceremonies, starting that with a clever how-dee-deo broadcast before his improvised "Mike." The unusual stage settings; the Howardeties, composed of twelve peppy chorines — all easy on the eye; the assisting pianist, the violinist come Gall De Gaston, that piano-playing put Putney Dandridge, and the appealing singer Charles Ray, not forgetting the fifteen piece orchestra that is getting ready to perform, is that the forthcoming weekly presentations will be lovingly received. Addison Carry stages the dancing and selects the costumes. Jimmie Palmer performs and secures the weekly visiting artists from New York, while the special scenery is built each week. Shelton Brooks is married and in residence with her husband, where the charming Mrs. Brooks and Shelton, Jr. reign supreme. INSURANCE MANAGERS ELECT WASHINGTON, D.

He is reported as saying he found it impossible to get consent of his members to join the Withdrawal from the conference, however, is not legal under the discipline, it has been pointed the pastor can be removed from the church that is, the entire church, or else he is deposed and unfreed for cause. Communities Named A committee appointed by the annual conference at its last session with the Cosmopolitan representatives at Cosmopolitan Church. The committee explains that the Rev. Mr. Douglas Cox, a member of the committee, that the doors of the denomination had always been open to this new congregation and are still open to new members, have been levied upon the church and its congregation, but that they pay as they are able to pay for the support of religious work. It is reported that the church asked for time to consider the prosecution. They thought they might be able to give a definite answer within six months or a year. The church granted it. Should the church be invited to join the A. M. E. denomination it will be received in full standing. The Rev. Mr. Douglass is already a member of the Baltimore Conference. He did decline to enter the denomination no action can be taken against the church congregation. It is believed, however, that the A. M. E. committee try the Rev. Mr. Douglass for violating the discipline of the church and sowing dissension.

WRITE FOR TERMS "BAPTISTS LOSING," SAYS DR. JUNIUS GRAY "BAPTISTS LOSING," SAYS DR. JUNIUS GRAY Have Not The Energy They Possessed Under Old Leaders PUBLICATION NEEDED Rev. Harvey Johnson And Rev. William N. Alexander Mentioned That the Baptist were not exerting the energy they exerted under the leadership of Rev. Harvey Johnson and Rev. M. Alexander was the statement of Dr. Junius Gray at the Baptist Preachers Meeting at Enon Baptist Church, on Monday. Dr. Gray said, "some of the present day ministers laughed at the old timers, but that under their regime there was more genuine progress and honest endeavor than the Napoleon in Baltimore or the present time." FOSTERED EDUCATION Under Rev. Johnson and Alexander, Dr. Gray recalled that educational institutions were not a public institution, a publication which kept all of their activities before the public. These two gentlemen, he said, were leaders in civic movements and were actually engaged in all things that spelled progress and the race. DIFFERENT NOW At the present time, according to Dr. Gray, the local Baptists have no education in the news, and no newspaper. Because of this situation, he claims they are losing out and that they must be stirred them out of the outset of the people. It appears, Dr. Gray says, that the public knows as much, if not more than the public knows as much, of a bad condition. When the congregations pay ministers three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, the public knows with the times, and produce results. NOT KNOWN OUT OF TOWN In speaking of his recent trip to St. Louis as a delegate to the Midwest, he said, "Few Ballimore ministers were known to members of the National Body for the simple reason they took no interest in the National Church and contributed missions, if any thing, to Foreign Missions.

Graphic, last Saturday: "Religion does not make all mankind. The Heavenly Father loves all of his children. Rare and color characteristics are a heritage of birth. 'One cannot change his race or the color of his skin. Religion does not expect him to do so.' The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Men ignore these "Love of one's fellow men knows no bounty of circumstance or birth. And pure religion and undefended is the expression of love for God and for man: "Tomorrow is Inter-racial Sunday in the churches of the nation. Sermons and addresses will be delivered in nationality and skin. "It seems like 'carrying coals to Newcastle.'

M. E. Church, Lexington, near Carlton street, and the pastor, Dr. R. A. Greene, pastor, to the memory of Bishop Richard Allen in the morning service. Selecting as a text: 2 Sam. 10, 12:12 "Be of good counsel, and let us play for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the Lord do that which seemeth him good," the speaker traced the march of the African Methodist Episcopal Church for years, asserting among other things "It is a matter of history though not general known that the Reverend Negro school in America, also the first Negro beneficial society, and for 16 years pastored the first non-church on record in the United States." "I admit there have been and are now unsavory and disquieting reports of disasters and latties and blisphic—but we strivings and turmails are the result of un-Christian and selfish granzerization," for the spirit of Aller was on the second nature for Negroes to delight in raiding ideas, institutions and men, and for this reason the race here represents that we will find an Indian of the fight of an Irishman and superstition of a Chinese. Woly religion is natural to us; any other variety — the "j-bern" kind for instance — is conceived from the white man and is, therefore, awkward, unwelcoming. Pretty much we are into the church. By this I mean, we carry flowers in the back door to place on the casket of the deceased when we should be in the door before death came." In conclusion, Rev. Greene observed that "African Methodism has no endowed schools save Kittrell, to which the Duke estate gave on land, dollars, and land, to maintain two schools in America and in Africa, indicative of the success of the movement Richard Allen founded."

Members Of Maryland Baptist Summon Pastor Back From Washington Revival LIGHTS OUT AND TELEPHONE GONE Take Furniture Deepening the mystery enveloping the jagged ..flairs of the Maryland Baptist Church at Pennsylvania avenue and Mother street, the Rev. E. C. Hicks, pastor of the church, made a hurried trip from Washington Sunday to contradict the belief of the members that he had abandoned the apparently sinking church. With the lighting system cut off the Rev. Mr. Hicks told a small anxious group of his members, sitting under the dim glare of oil lamps Sunday night, that he was conducting a revival in Washington, where he been for the last month, and that he was not seeking a pasture there. Fears of the mc. bers were heightened last week when the Rev. Mick's housekeeper, at his absence hurriedly moved the pastor's effect from the parsonage and told the pastor that he was the pastor's instructions. Members that the housekeeper, besieged by creditors of the church, wired the situation to the pastor and that he instructed her to move out at once. Swoops Down On Furniture Moving out of the parsonage, officials of the Oriole Furniture Company appeared on the scene and ordered the loaded van which was then driven out and dressed to the Oriole store. The telephone company neighbors said, entered the parsonage and church at the same time and took out the telephone system. Takes Church Effects The housekeeper's van, according to spectators, returned and took servicemen from the tables from the church. The Rev Hicks told his members Sunday night, however, that he had moved from the parsonage because radios burst, which would cost $700 or $800 to repair. Not to L. we Auction rider reached on the church last year and was removed only after a desperate rally of the members, church officials said. The Rev. Mr. Hicks said Sunday that the talk among the congregation was that he intends to stay with the church "until it goes up or goes down." "To Ohio," he said that he will finish his engagement in Washington this week. Members say that the Rev. Mr. Hicks, will, immediately after leaving Washington, conduct a revival in Ohio, and from there, another in Texas, his home state, a fraction of the members in the pastor's mission, motive for the nearly all the seats out of the Sunday-school room and furniture from other parts of the church proper.

Twenty Years of The N.A.A.C.P. Oswald Garrison Villard Who Issued Original Call For The Meeting Which Organized The Association, Writes A Second Call For A $200,000 Nation Wide Drive. NEW YORK. — Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the original Lincoln's Birthday Call, which resulted in the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Oswald Willett, editor of the New York Evening Post, called the first Call, has this year, as edited of the Nation, written a second call, an interval of twenty years. The Call is followed by "Born on the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will begin by the Emancipation when he becomes the Emancipation Proclamation. year for each year of its patriotic service. It needs an answer not only because of the added strength which ten thousand dollars a year will bring, but because of assurance to give small endowment to every person that the chief champion of their liberties is here to stay; that it is receiving the aid of extraordinary achievements merit.

Two hundred thousand dollars is what it expects. To every American in fair play, in justice, in the right of every American to the Supreme Court "They were determined that prejudice, superstition, and law should not make a mockery of the act of the Civil War.

They were no more in republic had continued long time before they were two classes of citizens. Out of this knowledge and out of their ardent desire to right flaming wrongs, and at the same time to the national country, came the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Faint Hearts "You are crazy, people said. You can't be done. There is not interest in the blacks or the blacks." They were not those faint hearts. No one can fight for liberty and not rally many to his standard. There came a black man. There were 100,000 members banded hands in unhindered justice done to the colored man and woman, drawn to the Association by its simple platform of making colored people "physically free from peacage, mentally free from dischranchism, mentally free from dischranchism, and socially free from insult." In 44 States "Within a few years the N.A.A.C. had branches in 44 states and the District of Columbia, with more than 100,000 less than $78.834.

Segregation "Wherever a discriminatory law has shown itself; wherever there has been illegal segregation, in motion picture theaters, theatres, museums, natural history museums, other places of public accommodation, the Association has fought for true Americanism.

It has opened the doors of the court, and has unified confess because of their race. It has stood between innocent men and the scaffold—yes, time after time. It has deceived and prevented their conviction, even when the law machinery and the police of a great city were determined to have them found guilty. Above all perhaps, the change has been a narrow of American public sentiment. It has changed that sentiment, slowly, persistently, and the change has been profound. A Tower of Light "There it has stood, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose mission is to throw into dark places, illuminating the skies of hope, a beacon for all in distress because of their race and the injustice. What its mere existence has meant for the courage, the faith, the loyalty of twelve millions of Americans? "And now this Association turns to the public and asks a beggary $200,000, ten thousand dollars a year for each year of its patriotic service. It needs an endowment not only because of the added strength which ten thousand dollars bring, but because of the assurance bring, but because of the assurance bring, but because of the assurance fund will give to colored people everywhere that the chief champion of their liberties is here to stay; that it is receiving the support that its extraordinary achievements merit. Appeal "A million dollars is what it should have, and if it had it, every cent could be spent wisely and in its battle for the fundation." To be a patriot, Two hundred thousand dollars is what it asks and what it expects. To every American who believes in fair play, in justice, in the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we make this appeal." Brooklyn Black Furrier Led N. Y.

Besides making the sweetest disposition sour and irritable, nervousness is a terrible drain on your vital forces as you youth, as your strength and dulls your beauty. What a difference from the bright-eyed, vibrant girl he married. No wonder marriage life seems unbeatable! But you can get rid of your nervousness—specially too—and become the steady-nerved, radiant woman you once were. Take a teaspoonful of Tanlac and if it doesn't soon make a new woman of you—doesn't rid you of that tired, strained feeling—back and get your money. Go to your drugstown now and get a bottle of Tanlac.

I went to the school year in high school, I felt very weak and run-down. Several of my friends told me about Cardul and suggested that I try it. When I went to college I weighed 59 pounds, so I decided to try Cardul, and when the school year was up, I weighed 65 pounds, so I would advise any person who is nervous, weak and in a run-down condition to take Cardul, for I am sure it will do them good.

It will contain spirituals, work songs, ditties and blues and, I predict, will pave the way for a Negro opera, with real Negro themes and dialect. King Victor has caught the native mood, tenderness and intimate glimpses of Southern life with unceasing skill. It is a faithful reproduction of a phase of American home life which will appeal to the public and stirle a tender cord in the breast of all who witness it. There is no preachment or cross-angle in the play . . . it raises no questions and settles none . . . simply the story of a colored man . . . in which the matter of color doesn't enter in determining his reactions to situations which might confront any man of any complexity. No one for the music . . . every type of Negro music will be used and the picture will be all sound . . . beginning from the screening where a sort of fantasia of Negro themes will include African strains . . . brief passages of familiar songs in symphonic vocal arrangement, severely classic but modulating to simpler form with the flash of the opening scenes on the screen. It is very beautiful and inspiring. The excellence of all voices is shown up and I am sure the Dixie Jubilee Singer, originating in Baltimore, will be world famous from the first showing of "Halloween." Twenty-five more singers from Los Angeles, but the most particular parts were sung by the original singers. This is the first time in the history of the theatre that a Negro has been appointed musical director of an entire picture, even one with a Negro caesar. Fox had a white man as musical director for their forthcoming picture, "Hearts of Dixie." True, Mrs. Bibbler did the coaching of the choir, but the composing, arranging, and is credited with all music, whereas I did all coaching, composing and arranging for "Hallucijah," which will mean to me and I hope it will mean only the beginning of much activity in this field. Every company is holding production on a Negro picture until "Hearts of Dixie" comes and thecesses or failures. Fathe has the picture rights of "Porgy," and will probably begin production in May. Christmas shooting comedies of other artists of extra and FBO is also contemplating an all Negro picture. Universal has tentative plans which are not yet clear. The first completed in six weeks or two months. Form Race Talkie Film Corporation NEW YORK—The Tono-Film Corporation, a new corporation whose officers and department heads are to be all colored, is being formed in New York City and has the backing of the largest film companies in the country. The craze for all-colored talkies has brought about the organization company and has deal exclusively colored artists. Included in the list of officers and directors will be found Paul Robeson, Robbie Sissle, Mische Pinkard, Earl Dillon, John Benson, Flournoy Miller, Will Vodery. The producers are developing good teams, quartettes and choruses that travel to New York for week $30 to week week $20 to week paid to the chorus who have been working together for a long time until they can do their dance routine like clock music to the single chorus girls receive but $15 to $15. The famous "Show Boat" girls, headed by Elida Webb, and the "Just-Entertain" girls, headed by Maude Russell, are the most successful of these combinations. There are plans to develop eight or ten of these units in various cities to us in the various productions. Global instruc tions are being sent to different points to train these chorus as they are formed. These girls will be placed under contract as a unit and will be a national choir. We believe because of the numerous demands and the shortage of girls to fill them. Many of these are to be used in the production of inviolence musical shorts which will be produced in the Jersey plant of the Fox Film Corporation.

The actors who have had occasion to work with and to contact the colored performers since their recent careers are now immersed in important pictures begun far back. While residents of Los Angeles who have swelled with racial pride at the sight of the entrance of the Negro into the cinema world, are thinking dire should happen in the record of those who have been chosen, directors are threatening to dismiss some of the leading colored performers. Trouble Started With Glipin Universal seems to have already more than its share of difficulties with the director and with lesser performers, recruited from the local citizenry. Charles Glipin was summarily fired by Universal two years ago for coming on to allegations then made, drunk. The delay occasioned by Glipin's tardiness cost the company thousands of dollars. Bishop Scott and a party of prominent men who had been to the company of the watchers the taking of the picture were forced to go away disappointed. Edmund toowe as afterwards employed to move the picture, this picture, Udon Torn's Glipin." When "Hearts of Dixie" was planned, the Fox company decided to give Mr. Gilpin another chance, to work with him, but the company sent for him and offered him $1,200 a week to work Gilpin came, but, according to other sources, he began to show signs of carelessness and crankiness. Director Sloan removed Gilpin, being forced to admourish at one time in substantially the same manner. "Mr. Gilpin, we will not tolerate temperament out of anyone. We are paying you for a picture, so you will have give us a picture and noth- else. Shortly afterwards, Gilpin was released. George Reed, a local favorite, was given the part, but failed to give us the same being done by Clarence Muse. **Actors Quarrel And Fight** A quarrel which began on the stage of the same picture, ending in a free-for-all fight in the lobby of the Somerville Hotel, took place when "Stompy" and "Stepin Petitch," local comedians, took each of them to the lobby to be earning $30 per week, is reported to have hired a gamer to beat up his erstwhile friend, "Stompy." When Stepin "Stompy" gamed against the lobby of the Somerville, a three-cornered fractus insured in which bottles and cans were thrown. Again during the making of this喜剧, another troublesome incident happened to increase the uneasiness of the patient directors. A girl and a man, each employed at $100 a week, were playing opposite roles in a novelty job. They had to be frequently reprimanded because their interest in each other was greater than their interest in the picture. The rest of the cast was concerned and the man was jealous. There came the time for the filming of a wedding scene in which she was to be his "forward and kiss her." At the first rehearsal, the director told the extras to pretend. But when ready for the camera, he said, "I don't want to be a kid." An extra named Williams began to make his part of the scene very realistic, indeed, when the lover, playing the room, yelled out an angry, "met," — don't hold that girl so long." This itself was a serious offense, as talking during important scenes is prohibited, but when the girl begged to stop, the other wedding guests, the directors were forced to ston all action and rebuke both performers. The girl started crying and all further哭ed for the day had to be called off. Buy Up Plenty of Cars A grand rush to the auto sales town in New York has caused that actors formerly getting $750 a day as extras, had come into affluence at from $100 to $500 a week. Many caught cars who had no place to keep them, and the company himself with the company that made his car possible by learning through the studio grounds at breakneck speed. Another, "Stepin' Biscuit," has been in two months. He still has two of them and has employed a chauffeur. The cars are a Cadillac limousine, a Cadillac sport model, phaeton, and a coupe. Investigation fails to show that any of the fortunate actors has invested any money in substantial securities or property. LOCAL BOY HIT IN N. C. GREENSBORO, N. C. — Leo Edwards, drummer and comedian and former Baltimore is playing at the Jimmy Kimmel night club in this city as a part of Mary Daniel's "Jazz Aces." a local white theatrical man, and is Mr. Edwards is sta ing a show for writing both the lyrics and music for the book. BALLET ROYAL "Midnight Froils" Presentation entertainment of the hit-and-miss variety is being offered Royal theatre patrons this week with bulls eyes few and far between. With Irwin Miller (himself) the co-director of the Hughes band on the stage, the show gets off to a good start but cools off with a suddenness that leaves the customers chilly. With the exception of the chorus and a half dozu or more principled change in the company's "Midnight Froils" is an entirely new show. Unfortunately some of the best talent from last w.ek's show found themselves without change in the attempt was made to furnish the cash clients with something new in the entertainment line. In the hit part of the entertainment we land the Mace Bee and Laeze the girls with dance personality and individuality; Sam Paige, the ukulele boy; Billy Whitmore, a juvenile boy; who stopped the show cold, and the Hughes orator, who brought its stride in a group of hot tunes. Billie Young probably gave the customers to big a helping of mith last week and for this reason is seems that she has been involved in this production. Frisco and Bowman did not impress as they might have, their work being slow and lacking in the finish necessary to be an indifference on the part of a number of performers and the spontaneity expected with the presentation type of amusement was conspicuous. Brownish absurd wore some snappy costumes, but even they, seemed to have lost some of their pep. Blackburn and Crawford, comes, were handicapped by a lack of coordination, presented near the finale. Boys should have been given more boys for they can go. "Mindles" contains enough to be a movie but for so reason the desired workmanship is a.w.o.l., if you know what we mean. STAR "The Man From Headquarers," "O'Mally of the Mounted," "The Naughty Duchess."

A comedy," and "Move," will be on the screen. CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA: In the fall of 1928, the chorus line in Lew Leslie's colored revue, "Blackbirds," was minus one girl. Presumably, for a moment a shade of annoyance creased Mr. Leslie's managerial brow when he noticed the defection; and then, since chorus girls are pleniful, presumably he got another one. The play went on. The chorus girl who walked out, walked into the leading role of King Vidor's all Negro, all-talking picture for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. ("Kellywhab." "O'Malley of the Mounted," a story with its scenes laid in the great theater, is set in the Star. Wednesday, with William S. Hart in the stellar role. Kings queens, princesses and naughty courts, will be seen in "The Naughty Duchess," the special attraction hooked for the audience, in comedy, will also be shown on this bill. Nina Mae McKinney, 16 years of age and chocolate-brown, came near getting the part several times before she actually did. Vidor had previously considered her as a possibility and then changed his mind. Instead, he selected Honey Brown, a toe dancer in the same show. The company entrained for Memphis, and Nina May was left behind. Two weeks later the New York office of M-G-M invited her to come down for a test. She went. Shortly afterward the invitation was repeated. Milton Sills, star of many great cinema classes, such as "The Sea Gull," and others, will be featured while the sixth episode of "The Police Reporter," featuring Walt Muller, western "Wild of the Woods," and a comedy "The Family Meal Poker," on the picture program for Saturday. Nina Mae was offered "a small part" in the picture. She accepted. Was handed a Pullman ticket good for one continuous passage to Memphis, Tenn. Demanded another for her mother. Got it. And took the train. In Memphis she was met by Honey Brown, who told her that she, Nina Mae, was the new leading lady of "Hallelujah." She didn't believe it, but she was willing to be convinced. SIGN ETHEL WATERS FOR TALKING FILMS Meanwhile, Vidor was "shooting" scenes in the cotton field, where no leading lady was needed. The company moved on to Hollywood, and nothing settled. The decision as to who, Honey or Nina Mac, would win the part hung fire until the day of the making of the big baptism scene on location near Hollywood. Vidor favored Honey, but he took along Nina Mac. The company, of the wisdom NEW YORK, (Special). — To keep in the lead with their Vitaphone specials. Warner Brers recently signed Ethel Watts, America's foremost comedienne and musical Hanebujah. Nine Mee came from a great old house in South Caliina. Nina Mae came from a great old house. Nina Mae's mother lived in New York City; and once, when she was 3, the little girl went there to visit her. She went again when she was 13, this time she stayed. Lew Leslie, the "Blackbirds" producer, discovered her soon after. Her work in "Halilujah" is almost finished. A few retakes are all that remain. Nina Mae has talked, sung and danced in a synchronized motion picture—the first of her race to be featured in a big speech film production which will be shown in theaters. What would world if it is favorable, or the prejudice of these millions be? If it is favorable, it is possible that some day Nina Mae will be one of filmdom's elect; a star by the vote of the great majority. Ethel Waters has made an enviable reputation as a Columbia recording artist, star of the movie *The Fighter*, and on a $2,700 a week head-on on the Keith Circuit.

HUSBAND CRUEL, D. C. WOMAN ASKS DIVORCE Mrs. Juanita L. Jackson Seeks Separation After 24 Years' Married Life WAS FORCED OUT She And Children Had To Leave Home WASHINGTON. — A marriage of twenty-four years is ending in the divorce courts. Mrs. Juanita L.

He persists in nagging her, she states. He turns out the lights in their home, she hears a scream, and he asks about the house in darkness. He plays the victrola to the early hours of morning, she declares. He assaulted their son, Reginald, age 18 years, October 15 last and was arrested for assaulting a condition that he would quit drinking. Mrs. Jackson states. He forced her and their two children to leave the house February 2 and seek temporary refuge else "because he had his abuse and cruelly, she claims. He would act give her money for her support before July, 1928, and she would call him a sum at irregular intervals never exceeding $25 a month, she states.

Senate Tacks $110,000 On D.C. School Appropriation WASHINGTON -- The Senate last Saturday passed the District of Columbia approval to allow $11,000 over the House allowance for colored elementary schools. The bill provides a total of $1,835,000 for public school buildings and the schools get only the approval. The schools get only $225,000 or 12.3 per cent. Under the five year school building program, the colored schools have received previous to this year $1,000,000 and three-tenths of 1 per cent less than they should have been given under equitable, distribution based on school population. The colored schools got $1,247,000 in 1982, $3.23 per cent of the population. The additional $110,000 that the Senate put into the bill is for land for school sites for a new school building and a health school and sanatorium. The District of Columbia already owns a site, on which a colored health school was to be erected, but on account of the requirement of white real estate dealers a new site is to be purchased and $45,000 of the increased appropriation is to be used for the purchase of land to replace the site on Bird Cemetery. A total of $87,100 is carried in the bill for new school sites. CLEMO. THE MONKEY. IN D. C. WASHINGTON. D.

The business exhibit beginning Monday night will be just the beginning of the attempt to bring the business and professional men and women in closer contact and mutual helpfulness with the great body of men and women who make up the excellent citizenry and buying public of the group. They are calling upon you to join this program for several reasons. First, we need more openings for the growing number of boys and girls-your boys and girls-coming from our schools. Second, we need a movement to create more jobs for fathers and young men in the various industrial establishments of the city. Third, the business and professional men need to learn that it is their duty to help increase the gross income of the masses by taking the time to make better working conditions and see that they get a square deal in the economic life of the city. Fourth, the group must learn that they must support a certain amount of Negro business and professional life to insure the steady development of the race and make places for the babies they bring into the world. The business men are, therefore, bringing to you an exhibit at Trinity A. M. E. Church beginning Monday night. Come and see it. The men and women who have contributed greetings to this page are among those farsighted business and professional men who are getting behind a program to establish a closer working relation between the masses and the professional and business group. They know that the welfare of one is the welfare of the other. They realize that they must help the consumer if the consumer is to help them, and they have decided upon a policy of fair dealing, mutual interest and helpful cooperation.

Natural since the introduction of white schools, she must, "of course," be white. This was given, finally, as the "real season." According to reports from the Board, the number of vocational schools or centers in which Negro girls and women are trained in home economics, has increased 450 per cent in the past ten years; the total enrollment has increased 664 per cent, the total number of teachers, 605 per cent, while the amount of Federal funds expended has increased only 300 per cent. 98 Colored Centers Colored Schools Rohbed The percentage of Federal funds expended in vocational agricultural schools for Negroes in Mississippi 1952 was 18 percent; in Mississippi to 26 percent in Louisiana, while the percentage of Negro rural population, according to Mississippi, was 20 percent; in Mississippi, according to a table showing Federal money expended in vocational agricultural schools for Negroes. $5,000 Cocaine Haul RICHMOND, Va. — Cocaine valued at $5,000 was confiscated here when Thomas Holmes of Newport News, was arrested y narcotic agent.

Two Organizers Fired, Threaten To Expose Shocking Conditions STATEMENT PROMISED BY END OF THE WEEK Will Keep Silent If Randolph And Lancaster Are Ousted NEW YORK.—A blow-up is imminent in the ranks of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. First intimation of this was the announcement of A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, that W. H. Des Verney, assistant general organizer and Frank R. Crosswath, special organizer of the brotherhood had been discharged. Whether or not there is actual difference of opinion among these leaders of the Brotherhood, or whether the split is a result of seeds of dissension soaked by the Fulman Company in the effort to keep the porters disorganized, is not known. "Since Randoph and Lancaster evidently criticize cricket and have convinced voting victory for the Pullman porters — have now brought the matter of our discharge into the open, we deem it to be our duty, both to the porters and to the public, to resist and to the public, who in an unprecedented burst of race loyalty and pride supported the Brotherhood for over three years, grettely to express their concern for over two years existed in the organization, and which in our efforts to remedy, we became persona non grata to those who desired to maintain corruption unbridled. As much, as Messrs. Randoph and Lancaster will issue a statement a week, we will await that statement, in the next proceed to give the public the incontrovertible facts in the history of our fight for honor and honesty within the Brotherhood, and let the public be, the judge, that will change this course of action only if in the meantime the Pullman porters affect a fundamental change in the leadership of their organization, in order to remain successful." Randolph said, Monday, the two organizers were dropped in the war effort. They were paid $150 a month. He admitted that the two mgrs fired, had comrades killed. The funds are being handled properly, he added. Alabama Man Hunters Leave GARY, IND—Alabama man hunters went back home without their prey last week when local courts say they were cannon.

For several years he has coached the Armstrong football teams, and has taken over that role with the pride of the lamented Newton Miller. Mr. Westmoreland has developed for sports the fellious philosophy of "sports for coveted championships. Successful performance, with him, means the utmost endeavor of the team, regardless of their co-operated efforts. He uses sports as a means to emphasize right motives and essential traits of many athletes, their co-operative reflection upon coaching itself for a team to squabble over an official's decision. No protests. The greatest challenge that Mr. Westmoreland must aside from reference to his becoming modest, is that his teams never offend the spectators by protesting. His teams are coached to play the game for all that it is worth and to let the officials run the game. He tells his boys that they need to play the same game. Mr. Westmoreland's influence is not confined to the Armstrong High School. He and his school brought in the president, who colored the high school around to eligibility rules and a code of ethics which have put all students colored. He founded the development of the high school conference football games represents one of the achievements of Mr. Westmoreland. A. A. Tangle The higher institutions of learning, which still lack many ideals of true sportsmanship, have also colored Mr. Westmoreland. He was one of the committees that recently settled the differences between his Alma Mater, Howard University, his wife is working for the cause of clean athletics, for he sees in sports a most attractive means of developing and improving manhood. He firm in his belief that high school sports, when properly fostered, can help education to realize its fundamental purpose, can help education uncompromising manhood and womanhood that is safe for any community.

The team did the locals guard the Jeffersonmen that the latter were able to score only ten field goals while the annual runners-up scored a total of 18 hurdles. "Chink" Wyatt, who later proved to be the high scorer of the game with 14 points, opened bounds for the basket.

THE PASSING REVIEW By BILL GIBSON "NEVER NO MOORE," or words to that effect are said to have sputtered from the oral cavity of Paavo Nurmil, Finnish runner, when he was asked whether or not he would race again against our Gus national cross country champion. Moore national. The story as we carried it, has already given you the information that caused the trouble of the trouble was a slight losing caused Nurml by Moore as the pair race in Boston. As it was, Nurml won the race, pundally and Moore placed third. race. Such incidents, however, do not set right with fair-minded followers of athletics and it was only a matter of hours after the meet that being buzzed about that the foreign innumerable crowd doped with the regulation prejudice and indifference." It is unfortunate if there is going to confluence in athletics any feelings of this kind, matter trumped up from no well-founded cause whatever. In the field of sports much pride in the fact that the freedom of competition was usually greatest that afforded in any other line, with the possible exception the arts. of the arts. The surface of the Nurmu incident it does appear rather far-fetched to us for the Finn to refuse to run against Moore simply on the plea that the latter nudged him with his elbow—unintentionally nudged him. We wonder if the Phantom Finn is thinking like many others are—that it is possible for any man to be beaten? A CHANCE TO SEE the presidential inauguration is being offered those persons who find it possible for them to leave from their regular routine and trek to New York 1 and 2 to attend the meeting of the College Collegiate Athletic Association which is beating the president Edgar Westmorland. With the information that representatives are expected from the G. I. A. A., Southern Conference, West Va. Collegiate and Bluefield and the Interstate High School Association as well as several smaller which includes among them the gentlemen of the fourth estate the as- BOOKS "Every effort is being made to make this meeting one which educators, coaches, administrators, newspaper men and athletes, will hold together. It will afford to every suggestions to make Negro Athletics everything they should be in our schools and colleges. Also, it will naturally bring closer cooperation between the various authorities responsible for athletics in our insti- tutions. This galley slave has been asked for criticisms and suggestions along with other sports scribblers. This group has also been invited to become a part of this national body, the membership in no way to participate with its functioning as a separate unit. It is interesting to note that the A. O. A. A. is going to be a jump ahead of his Caucasian brother in this particular matter as it will possibly two months before the leading sports figures from the country will gather in Atlanta to discuss the Ilia, real or fancied, country's alibiity. when we want to be more effective. When these members of the American Olympic Association gather to be after their delegates have returned from Alexandria, Egypt, where the International Olympic Committee Washington will have a view of the fact that this pillar makes an appeal to its small reading audience for any suggestion—constructive, of course, that will be worthy of presentation before the body when it meets two weeks hence. Send them to the AFRO-AMERICAN, care of this column, and will see that they are placed before the Association body meets something important, which will be discussed by the American Olympic Association, there are some that seem well suited for the discussion and action of the American Collegiate Athletic Association. There's the old conflict between Professionalism and Amateurism. Something should be done to address this conflict, for as conditions now stand the whole matter is worse than a farce. Definite rules should be made and provisions guaranteed for the enforcement of them. The question: "Does the average college system provide re-creation for the masses of athletes an opportunity for a specialize?" And again: "Are athletes an essential part of our educational system?" The matter of organizing a coaches school should be given some consideration, also the matter of schooling competent officials. There will be other questions and subjects that come to mind later and these we think worth-will be aired in these We do want to say here that we think an organization of this kind CAN DO a world of good. There is need of action backed up by organization. For that reason we trust that a number of schools will have representatives present and that something worthwhile will be accomplished. ALWAYS A STEP AHEAD, seems to be the motto followed down at Hampton Institute by Charles H. Williams, Physical Director at the Seaside institution. Last year the school's athletic department sponsored an indoor tennis tournament. This year Mr. Williams has organized a national scholastic basketball tournament, inviting teams from high schools the country over to come to the Virginia school and compete for cham- A national tournament of this kind is a big affair to handle. It is on the order of the one held yearly at the University of Chicago. This pillar hopes that response in keeping with the internationally so many of our high schools, and some of our colleges, are so wooftely lacking in finance that it is with difficulty that they are able to make a 40 or 50 mile trip. Financial insufficiency is going to prevent some good teams competing at the tournament. If they would be enough to attend to put the affair over with a bang. Upon the success of this year's effort will depend whether or not the tournament can become a national feature. Facilities for the play and for the accommodation and entertainment of the participants are available at Hampton. Its offer of teams throughout the country therefore, should not be taken lightly. G A PAIR OF SPIES bring me the news that there have been some college teams on tour whose requests for games with Morgan have been a personal investigation by my right hand man shows that in at least two cases they are correct. Those cynics who infest our byways, would have us get the impression that we are not the judge, and our judgement warms them that playing games might be disastrous to their championship aspirations. We feel somewhat safe in saying that this writer has withstood the temptation to use the expression "make whoopee" on our pages pages, and for this reason we nominate ourselves for the Hall of Shame. You will find few to dispute you if you make the expression that Harry Jefferson is one of the most popular coaches in the country. Quiet, non-protesting and modest, he is the power that runs the Big Blue machine. Before the Athenian game all of the members grasped his hand warmly. One could almost feel that they were soaking in inspiration. And you'd better not say that our mermen are all wet either. BOWIE--Friday night the "Bulls" again matched the forces of "Lincoln" High School of Frederick and in a one-sided contest showed their superiority by a margin of 45-17. Grey, captain of the "Bulls" and Camper are showing real form, while George is able to work a good work in the guard's position. The team plans a tour of the Eastern Shore to defend the title they hold for this section of Maryland. Coach Young is expecting that they will give good account of themselves. Other teams to be played are D.C. High School of Baltimore in Washington, Morgan and Howard Freshmen. Balto. Team Beats Chester CHESTER, Pa. — The Remington A.

"Ducks" Lose To Dunbar Dumb Basketball Causes Local Tossers To Lose Game, 20 To 19 TIMERS IN DISPUTE Wyatt Has Near-Perfect Foul Shooting Record With the lead see-sawing back and forth throughout the contest, the Dunbar basketeers of Washington, took bravery at some dumb playing by Douglas High School and nosed out the "Ducks" by a 20-19 score before a crowd of frenzed rookers in the school gymnasium, Friday afternoon. A dispute arising among the timers at the close of the game caused a squabble when it developed that the game had been called four seconds too soon. Following a conference with Reed and Perkins the matter was soon adjusted and the additional four seconds were played out with Douglas feverishly attempting to stave off attack. Landy Thomas lost an opportunity to rise to glorious heights but he was unable to prove that would have tied the score and forced an over-time period. "Ducks" Trail At Quarter The "Ducks" drew first blood when Roberts, "Duck" forward, on a near criss-cross, dropped in the first score of the game. The lead of the local scholastics was wasted, however, when Roberts accounted for a half-dozen points from the floor. Only the uncanny foul shooting of Wyatt brought the "Ducks" up to the short end of a 6-5 score, the first quarter of the game, using its defensive system while the "Ducks" were making use of a short-pass attack and a man-to-man defense. Aided by free throws by Wyatt, who made five shots to Noel and Murdock, substitute for Wyatt, the Douglass clan was to break on even terms with Dunbar at half time, the score standing 17-16. With the score 15 to 14 in their favor at the opening of the final quarter, the "Ducks" increased their advantage to a three-point lead, with the score 16-15 advantage back to one point. With score 17-16 in their favor, the "Ducks" slowed up on their offensive play and with the ball in deep in the Dunbar defense, made some bad passes that their volts turned into points and victory. Amos and Beckwith were high scorers for the visitors with six points each, while "Chink" Wyatt was leading scorer of the game with 6 points, one of which came from the foul line. Knox, Chambers, and McPherson played a good defensive game for the locals while Parker of the visitors shone with 10 points and Beckwith in DOUGLAS (10) and HAMES (10) DUNBAR (20) G. P. P., F. G.

Pansy, dear, Lent is upon us int! Do you recall way back when Lt. mount all kinds of books and deniast! Don't say you remember too much about it because—well perhaps it might add to our years. And teaching it is a joy to accomplish the job. However, jolks just are on giving parties and are entirely forgetful of sacrifices, except when it matters most. As a matter of fact, society all over the world has become less strict in its rules, and the calendar tells me numerous informal entertainments are planned for the period aside for Solemnity and spiritual Speaking of parties, I hear there are several interesting one-half or two Deplians, for the stance, are giving a lunchroom and card party on Washington's Birthday, their stance is positively pretty and likeable as is positively pretty and likeable ever. Then Lill Perrester, whom we always platoonate, Yes, Martha Evelyn Brown is another member. She is the one who writes such interesting stories as she can be with a singular personality. Anne Carr, Little Carr, and Hilda Ray make up the membership of the Deplians. Now to what I started out to be to be a delightful affair. The cunning little invitations that they put out, just gives one the impression of being good things on the same evening. The Aso's formal affair comes off Tuesday evening which I will tell you all about the WW. Bridge Club that's going to spring an elaborate formal dance on the 10th April! I hope nothing will come off on those evenings, for society as a rule, like to take in everything they get But right here, let me tell you this—I’m nearly dying to let you see and frantically rushed to keep up with what has been and is to be—anyway, here it is: Our little friend, Jill, is to be married in March. Yes, truly, for Howard’s sister, Jessie Smith, announced that Club on last Tuesday evening. It just perfectly lovely, Pansy, that these two who have been sweethearts for such a long time are yet to get married. Now, back to the party. Jessie Smith Honors Couple As uncle Jesse's affairs are always so different, so clever and so very much enjoyed, on Last Tuesday we were invited to a party illuminated up gave the on-lockers "telling that something extra-ordinary happened," and after the conclusion of the party and the prizes were awarded, the great surprise came: the pair of handbands Madera pillow cases, amounting at the same time the engagement of her brother and sister, the excitement of congratulations upon her, Jesse asked the guests to another room, there to behold the gift, the pair of handbands their utmost to guess the number of beans in the cup and behold, Marian Payne guessed right and behold, Marian Payne guessed right and behold, which not only served to aid one's vanity, but had What Will you do When your Children Cry for It There is hardly a household that hasn't heard of Castoria! At least five million homes are never without it. If there are children in your family, there is almost daily need of comfort. And any night may find you very thankful there's a bottle in the house. Just a few drops, and that colic or constipation is relieved; or diarrhea checked; or pelletized diarrhea remedied for young folks. Castoria is about the only thing you have ever heard doctors advise giving to infants. Stronger medicines are dangerous to the baby, however harmless they may be. Castoria reminds the name, and remember to buy it. It may spare you a sleepy, anxious night. It is always ready, always safe, always gentle for everyday ailments. Any hour of the day or night that Baby becomes freetful, or restless. Castoria was never more popular with mothers than it is today. Every drugstist has it. HUCKY STAR Martba Harmon Entertains Who But US At Martha Harmon's party on last Thursday evening, girlie, when she entered a number of extra guests, she carried out red as her color scheme in decorations, in dresses and minis, and in mini courses. About 8:30 as hostess, she passed tailors to her guests, which on the back of each were names of Valentine's day, and on the back of each were names of Cornell coyotes, shady strolls, courting corners and so on. This was very smiling. Turning on the other side was verses of the song, which a man and a woman, hence half of the guests had to pretend to be men for the guests, and the two the foles served with a most splendid menu that Martha, dear, so cleverly got together. In red ribbon were awarded the successful winners. Martha Jones, for first club shoulder flower. For the first prize, the box of chocolates, the box of candies, the pretty red bridge set containing two packs of cards and a score pad and pencil. Nellie Buchanan scored the best prize. In a heart shaped Valentine of satchet. Besides their nice girls, Martha Harmon's club was a trimmed handkerchief in a heart shaped Valentine of satchet. Besides their nice girls, Martha Harmon's club was a trimmed handkerchief in a heart shaped Valentine. One prize was a red bridge pad and the other one was to Mae Gools and Vola Wilson. Indeed, girl, it was certainly a Jolly affair and everybody had barrels of wine. In the valentine's day, beside the club members were Romaine Adams Jones, Elizabeth Johann, Katherine Fletcher, Edith Biddle, Mckee McChen, Mae Gools and Nella Buchanan. Catherine Connor's Party Up to Catherine Connors, on last Saturday evening, she had a just-too-hard card party, honoring the Fierce Club of her other friends. Her other friends. Red candies were used for decorations, which reflected very pretty on the antique chook that adorned the neck of the hostess and off-set her arm at tan geoglyphs trimmed in pew蜡. Matinee Ensemble With Mrs. Winston, Why, girl, Mrs. Willis, Winston's Saturday and Sunday evening when she so beautifully entertained the Matinee Ensemble at her home on Radisson Blu, she was based on Negro poets. Mrs. Winston had based each club member a poem from a Negro poet. Mrs. Winston made a heartfelt greeting talks on Longton Hughes and Contine Julia, Julia Calloway played a number of Matinee poets who were made heart-shaped to carry out the idea of Valentine were passed as means of games were carried out in the form of folders with Valentine suggestions. Edith Scott and Bonnie Bonilla cosmetic set. Julia Carla won the second club prize and was given a beautiful modernistic hat. The guests were carried out in aquatic chocolate heart filled with candy, and awarded to Blanch McRae. The dining room looked red and beautiful with red hearts hanging from everywhere. The table was tastefully arranged with Valentine tie and beautifully served. The hostess with that wonderful personality of hers knew exactly what to give to guests. The lady们 did look good, too. They were attired in the latest vogue and the hostess looked so charming in red georgette. That FLU----COLDS And other sickness is likely to cause you to lose many days' work.

REDELL Maryland Lady Finds Best Plan When Nature fails you, try and help yourself by the most natural method! That's the advice of leading authorities nowadays; and for over fifty years it has been California Fig Syrup. The quick, easy way this pure, wholesome product relieves children of those symptoms of stubborn bowels, such as headaches, nausea, constipation, breath, no energy, ect., and makes them strong, energetic and rosy-cheeked again shows there's no use drugging a child with harsh purgative medicines. And drug syrup is not only weak, flabby stomach and bowels so they continue to act of their own accord and you don't have to keep dosing them. Its popularity is shown in record records and by the many million bottles and by the praise thousands of mothers are fairly showering on it. A Maryland mother, Mrs. Ethel A. Redell, 2433 East Hoffman St., Baltimore, enthusiastically catches Catherine, in bed, she is strong and energetic and always romping. I give California Fig Syrup a lot of credit for her condition. I have used it with her since babyhood for every meal. It regulates her quick and starts her to eating right and improving in every way." Your protection against inferior substitutes is the word "California," which always appears on the carton of genuine California Fig Syrup.

Hope NEW YORK—If the purpose of the occupation of Haiti by the armed forces of the United States was to eradicate the virgin people and reduce enmity to a dependent state, that purpose has been brilliantly achieved, writes Nathaniel Washburn, in the New York World, Sunday. Mr. Marshall, a local attorney, was charged with the war and was a clerk in the American Consulate at Port au Prince Haiti, from September 16 of this year when he resigned. Mr. Marshall says: "When I went to Haiti six years ago, I found a cheerful, light-hearted man with confidence in the pledged word of the Americans to remit to their native soil at the expiration of their native soil." "They believed that the Americans had come into their midst with the help them to rise to higher levels, politically and economically." "As to Yankee believe U. S. gold, the Haitians believe that have the best credit in the National City Bank of New York and hypothetically their national customs duties in payment of the same amount of money that these roads have been built with their own money on the supermarket other words, they say that the goose has been cooked in its own grease in the Grand National Palace, in Port-au-Prince were constructed, for the American government George Daupass, who received his education in Paris.

Millispaugh, white, financial advisor and a disagreement with General Russell, appointed virtual governor by the State Department after 13 years resigned, has a hope in Marshall says, without a friend in the world." "Millispaugh Spankered" "It was through Millispaugh," says Captain Marshall, "that the State Department after 13 years resigned and accounts and auditors to Haiti. "When this news reached the Island, Fire broke out in the recently constructed Ministerial Building and destroyed the millions of dollars expended by the Americans.
