(By Mail) —News of the death and burial of Marshal Foch filled the papers this week; not so much, however. as to crowd off the front page the trial of two Ne- ere, dancers charged with murder. i West Indians. The accused’ were Guillaume La- tune and: Lionel Julan, natives of the French West Indies, gigolos in a Montmartre cabaret, where their tall. athletic figures, dark faces, clever dancing. and flashy clothes won them a.eertain popularity. The term. gigolo, has a shorter and ‘uglier name in English. Finally, in’ the hope of getting a large sum they attacked “two aged women. strangling one, and breaking the skull of the other with a pressing iron. The latter is now an invalid for life.

Both ended by accusing the other. and after a sensational trial LaFor- tune has been sentenced -to the guillotine, while Julan goes to prison for life. Evidence showed that it was LaFortune who did the killing, while Julan did the stealing. LaFortune also had a police rec- ord, and after the murder, he went to the home of one of his victims, and mixing with the crowd said so that all could hear him: “If ever they catch the brute wno did this I hope they'll guillotine him.” Women at Trial. But the singular fact about the trial was this, and let those who de- clare that there is a natural and In- eradicable hatred between white and black. explain it if they can. It was the number of women. some of them well-to-do, and others young and not lacking in good looks, who were entirely in favor of these two dastardly murderers. Rich Englishwoman. One of them, a rich Englishwom- an, past fifty, to whom LaFortune had given dancing lessons, as soon as she heard of his plight. came to his rescue. got him one of the best lawyers in Paris. showered, as one French paper says, “a thousand sweets" on him and came without shame to act as a character wit- ness.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Without challenge, embarrassment or confusion, Oscar DePriest, Congressman-elect from the First District of Illinois, was duly sworn in as a member of the Seventy-first Congress at the opening of the special session. Monday afternoon, April 15, and became the twenty-fourth colored man to gain a seat in the Capitol of the United States. For the first time in the history of the House of Representatives the oath of office was administered to the entire group as a whole. Heretofore the Congressmen-elect have always come forward in groups by states and have been administered the oath of office. At the close of his speech of acceptance Speaker Longworth called attention to the confusion and disorder in which the old method has always resulted and indicated a desire to introduce an innovation into the procedure of administering the oath of office to congressmen, which would be more in keeping with the dignity of the occasion. He then requested all who wished to be sworn in as members of the Seventy-first Congress to rise and hold up their hands. A bombshell could not have caused more consternation, yet all responded. Many seemed stunned, and the majority were taken completely by surprise and were unable to grasp the full significance of the request until the group of which Oscar DePriest was one, had been duly sworn. There was no opportunity for a challenge or a dissenting voice, such was the strategy of Longworth, and contrary to the predictions of certain press correspondents and wise ones, colored Americans gained representation in Congress. DePriest Enters Alone Derriest Enters Alone Mr. DePriest entered the chamber alone at eight minutes of twelve. He walked down the left center aisle with dignity and poise, seated himself in the first tier of seats on the Republican side, and spent the remaining few minutes before the gavel sounded the opening of the session enclosing with other members and receiving the cordial handclasps of passing Congressmen. He exhibited no signs of nervousness, responded clearly to roll call, voted emphatically for Longworth for Speaker, and attended stricly to the business of the No Room Is Left For Lily-White Congressman North Carolinian Who Wouldn't Take Office Next to DePriest, Is Without Quarters. WASHINGTON D. C., April 15—(Capital News Service)—Congressman George Pritchard, Republican from the Tenth Congressional District of North Carolina who refuses the room next to Oscar DePriest in the House Office Building, is without quarters in the building on the eve of the opening of the Seventy-first Congress to which he was recently elected. Due to deaths, resignations and re-elections, several chairmanships of the important committees which have offices in the Capitol are now vacant. Until the Committee on Committees meets and recommends the appointment of the chairmen to fill these vacancies, every member of Congress should be provided for in the House Office Building. Inquiry at the office of the superintendent of the building reveals that no other room is available and that no other assignment can be made to the disgruntled North Carolinian. Building officials smile over the affair and insist that Room 132 is Mr. Pritchard's room for which he signed up some time ago, but that he is just not occupying it. They direct visitors to the office of Representative Charles Jonas of North Carolina, Room 342, where Pritchard's secretary has been given temporary quarters. There is one other congressman who is in a similar fix. He is Congressman Johnson, from Nebraska, who has, however, never been assigned a room due to a shortage this year, which is explained as follows: Nearly one hundred race representatives witnessed the ceremony from the several galleries. Galleries and pressmen gasped and craned necks to locate the new race Congressman. Because of his iron gray hair and light skin he was not easily found. Family in Gallery In the gallery reserved for the families of members were: Mrs. Oscar DePriest, her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Stanton DePriest, Robert DePriest, brother of the Congressman and his son Bourjette DePriest. Later the Congressman was besieged in his office in the House Office Building with friends and constituents offering congratulations while telegrams, messages and flora' tributes poured in from admirers in all sections of the country NO MENTION OF NEGRO IN HOOVER'S MESSAGE President Recommends house Reapportionment, Farm Relief and Tariff Changes WASHINGTCN, D.C. — No mention of the Negro was contained in President Hoover's message to Congress, Tuesday. The President called this special session to redeem two pledges given in the last campaign—farm relief and limited changes in the tariff. He said it is his understanding that the deliberation of the session will be confined mainly to these two questions. He concurs in this policy. "There are, however, certain matters of emergency legislation that were partially completed in the last session such as decennial census, reapportionment of Congressional representation and the suspension of the national origins clause of the immigration act of 1924 together with some minor administrative authorizations. I understand that these measures can be undertaken without unduly extending the session. I recommend their consummation as being in the public interest." 13-Day Honeymoon Enough, Said Pastor GARY, Ind.—The Rev. Charles W. Neloms.. 65, married only 13 days to his wife, aged 36, asked the police to help to get rid of her because she insisted on putting an "Elder Eatmore Sermon" on the graphophone and playing it continually. Mrs. Neloms is asking $4000 of the pastor's $12,000 realty holdings. left For the Congressman Couldn't Take Office Next to without Quarters. Due to deaths, resignations and re-elections, several chairmanships of the important committees which have offices in the Capitol are now vacant. Until the Committee on Committees meets and recommends the appointment of the chairmen to fill these vacancies, every member of Congress should be provided for in the House Office Building. Vacancies In the event of vacancies occurring in the building due to the transfer of the office of these several chairmen to the Capitol, rooms will be assigned first to the congressman from Nebraska who has never been assigned, preference will be given to the senior members of the House. All indications are that the lilywhite from North Carolina will be cooped up a long time in the crowded offices of his colleague before there is any chance of another room being available for his use. DePriest Silent In the meantime the DePriest office is functioning efficiently. Scores of visitors are being received daily and the entire office force is noncommittal on the subject of Congressional neighbors.

CRAZED BY RELIGION MA CREMATES BABE Dressed Her Own Child in White and Named It "Faith." "GOING TO HEAVEN" Other Children Called to Kiss Infant "Goodbye." BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Mrs. Iris Brown of Pacific street, became suddenly deranged over religion, and while in a religious frenzy, cremated her infant of eight weeks in the furnace of her home. She had named the last baby "Faith." Friday afternoon she dressed the baby in white, called Joyce, her daughter of seven years and the other children to kiss the baby, who she said was going to heaven. She carried the infant to the cellar and placed her in the furnace, where she was cremated. Clarence Brown, the woman's brother-in-law on his return home from work made an inquiry for the baby and was told she had gone to heaven. Investigating, he found the smoldering remains of the child in the house furnace. He immediately summoned the police, who placed the mother under arrest, charging her with homicide. The deranged woman was placed under observation. BULLOCK CASE SET RALEIGH, N. C.—The Rev. O. S. Bullock, pastor of one of the largest Baptist churches in North Carolina, will face his pretty stenographer in court, Thursday, April 18th. R. N. Simms is the lawyer for Miss Matilda Evans, who accuses the pastor of being the father of her child. W. D. Jones and C. A. Douglass are attorneys for the minister. Frequent postponements of the case, which is now over a year old, led many to believe that it had been settled out of court. The case was tried last fall and resulted in a mistrial, eleven jurors being-for conviction and one for acquittal. Miss Evans, who is the daughter of the late Rev. G. S. Evans, a prominent Baptist minister, says she has no intention of dropping her case. NEW TRIAL FOR THE "SUNSHINE" WIDOW NEW TRIAL FOR THE "SUNSHINE" WIDOW Philly Woman Courted Three Years by 73-Year-Old White Sweetie. SHE ASKED FOR $20,000 Judge Inadvertently Quoted Non-Intermarriage Laws. PHILADELPHIA — (Special)— A new trial has been granted Mrs. Martha Washington, widowed at 47, who lost a $20,000 breach of promise suit last month against Frank Thees, white, an insurance man. In the course of the testimony in the first trial Mrs. Washington sobbed pitifully when she testified that Thees had called, her the sunshine of his life. Although the widow produced no letters in court, she claims that the withered old white man with bald head paid ardent court to her, copied poems and wrote honest-to-goodness love notes. The testimony of the widow showed an association over a number of years by the two and her corroborating testimony in the form of notes and letters written by her aged wooer and gifts on his part made to her, showed that there was a real affection between them and a promise on the part of the defendant to marry. Thees on his part claims that there was merely a friendly relationship and that no seriousness was attached to it and no desire or promise on his part to marry. Judge Joseph L. Kun, after hearing the case which took two days, made a statement in his charge to the jury to which counsel Raymond Pace Alexander, for the widow filed objection. The error complained of was that Judge Kun inadvertently quoted the laws of other states relative to marriage between the races and thus acquainted the jury with such detrimental laws that had a prejudicial effect upon the case. Judge Kun said that he felt a prejudice of error had been committed by virtue of his quoting of a contemporary law and that he would grant a new trial. Two Other Cases Judge Kun, presiding in two other cases, involving white and colored 3 DE PRIEST FULFILLS 28-YR.-OLD PROPHECY N. Carolinian in Fareweil Address, Predicted Negro Would Come Back. SUCCEEDS MADDEN Nineteen Other Colored Men Have Sat in Congress. B'LOUIS R. LAUTIER WASHINGTON, D.C. — A prophecy of twenty-eight years ago was fulfilled Monday when Oscar DePriest Republican was sworn in as a member of the seventy-first Congress from the first congressional district of Illinois. Mr. DePriest is the twentieth colored man to serve in the lower house. It has been twenty-eight years since a colored man was a member. The last was George Henry White, of North Carolina, who was a member of the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth Congresses. It was Mr. White who prophesied the return of the Negro to Congress. Democrats had got possession of the state and local government in North Carolina and he had been defeated for re-election. In his farewell speech in the House on January 29, 1901, he made his prophecy. "This, Mr. Chairman," he said, "is perhaps the Negro's temporary farewell to the American Congress; but let me say, Phoenix-like, he will rise up some day and come again" Charges against Mr DePriest were dismissed in Chicago last week: when the prosecuting attorney admitted there was insufficient evidence. TENTH CAVALRYMAN SHOT ON BORDER TENTH CAVALRYMAN SHOT ON BORDER Race Trooper Wounded in Encounter with Mexican Rebels NACO, Ariz. — A detachment of fighting Tenth Cavalry patrolling the border here was fired upon by Mexican rebels last week and Private John Finezee was wounded in the chest. Finezee, with several companions, discovered hidden cache of hand grenades that the rebels were attempting to smuggle across the border into Mexico. The the Mexicans appeared a few minutes later to claim their bombs, a fight ensued the troopers returned the fire and dispersed the Mexicans. The air bombs had been placed in 15 bags on the American side near a railroad tunnel. JEWS ON THE JURY ATLANTA. Ga. — The Supreme Court rendered a decision last week making it impossible to eliminate Jews from the jury box. Colored people serve on few southern juries. 115-Year-Old Woman Dies LURAY, Va.

Recently he sentenced Alexander Aspert, white, policeman charged with killing William Pollard in performance of duty, to the Eastern Penitentiary for a term of from six to twelve years. Mr Alexander represented the widow of the slain man. In Quarter Sessions Court where a young colored girl had become a mother as a result of an attack upon her by a white policeman, Judge Kun found the policeman guilty of rape and bastardy and gave him a jail sentence. Godfrey, Sued, Says Girl Wooed WONDERFUL HAIR GROWER 25 Years the Standard FREE! Mme. C. J. Walker's Beauty and Dream Books Sent Anywhere by Request. 4 Heavyweight Answers $100, 000 Heart Balm Suit in Philly Court. 3 MONTHS COURTSHIP Godfrey Says Charges Are Absurd; He's Broke. PHILADELPHIA. — George Godfrey, heavyweight prizefighter, brought his 220 pounds into Common Pleas Court in Media, Wednesday, with his attorney, to file his reply to a $100,000 breach of promise suit filed against him a month ago by Miss Rovina Nutter, 33, of Sharon Hill, Pa. In his reply to the suit, Godfrey declared he day, with his attorney, to file his reply to a $100,000 breach of promise suit filed against him a month ago by Miss Rovina Nutter, 33, of Sharon Hill, Pa. In his reply to the suit, Godfrey declared he never proposed marriage or made love to Miss Nutter. "As to paying $100,000, it is absurd," he said, as he had no money at interest, no bonds, no property, but is in debt and at present playing off a loan made sometime ago. "I'm far from being a rich man. I'm only a prizefighter," Godfrey declared. Godfrey, who has a soft voice despite his big frame, is tall and powerfully built and a rather inconspicuous dresser. He said he was never engaged to Miss Nutter never proposed marriage but she made love to him and asked him to marry her. Miss Nutter was emphatic in stating in her suit for breach of promise that George asked her to marry him on April 15, 1928. "He was all sweetness and honey when I met him at Lieperville, while he was training to fight in 1922. "When he proposed, I told him to 'see papa.' "Papa approved and we made our wedding plans several times, but each time George put if off. When I went to New York and enrolled in Columbia University, George was on the Coast. He used to write me long letters advising me about the pitfalls in New York." Miss Nutter said that since her lawyer, John R. K. Scott, has filed her suit, Godfrey has tried to bluff her and threaten her out of action, but she is determined to make him pay for the ridicule his meanness has brought her. In her petition, Miss Nutter says that on August 5, 1928, Godfrey broke her heart by telling her that he never asked her to marry him and that he never intended to marry her or anyone else. MOVE TO AID WEAK M.E. CHURCHES HERE MOVE TO AID WEAK M.E. CHURCHES HERE Asbury and Mt. Washington Charges Facing Financial Difficulty. Following reports that Asbury, in East Baltimore, and Mt. Washington M.E. churches are facing serious financial difficulties, a movement to re-organize the M.E. City Missionary Society was begun at the ministers' meeting, Monday. The action was determined upon following appeal by the Rev. A. J. Mitchell that a brotherhood should be organized not only to help these churches, but to provide a stabalizing fund for other weaker churches of the conection. Donations were given by the ministers for the Mt. Washington church while others offered to lend the pastor, the Rev. Ezra Williams, money to meet the church's obligations. On suggestion of the Rev. C. E. Queen the ministers regarded as an insult to Bishop Jones a statement made by Dr. O. L. Hartman in the Zion Herald that Bishop Jones did not understand the issue of central conferences. Bishop Jones expressed himself as opposed to the proposal to create central conferences with bishops for their specific fields in the recent Washington Annual Conference. Cabinet Meeting to Be Held Bishop McDowelle will call a cabinet meeting in Washington. Friday to consider the three vacant charges, two of which were left vacant by the "rebellion" of the Revs. C. H.

Matthews for declining to go to Westminister. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1929 NEGRO IN BONDAGE YET, SAYS WESLEY DETROIT. Mich.—"The Negro of America is still in chains, mentally, a condition almost as debasing as bondage of the body." declared Dr. Charles H. Wesley, of Howard University, speaking on "The New Emancipation," before the Wilberforce Club's seventh annual banquet here, Friday.

Hoover last week with a demand for attention to the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, made public this week a letter on the same matter to Attorney General Mitchell. A part of the letter reads: "The oath of office of the President provides that he will, to the best of his ability, preserve and defend the Constitution. Therefore, should the President not attempt to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, he is subject to impeachment." The letter referred to Mr. Mitchell as the legal advisor of the President. Mr. Tinkham especially called attention to the Constitutional amendment requiring reduction of representation in those states where suffrage is restricted on account of race. atment OWER D. C.

(Special)The 30th annual report of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company shows the race's largest company has insurance in force of $75,882,984. The company operates in 28 states, maintains 82 branches, and employs 2,000 colored persons. Among them are many men and women who, but for the opportunity afforded by the existence of this national enterprise, would almost certainly be beating their heads and minds against the blank wall of industrial servitude. Harmon Medal Award Trustees of the Harmon Foundation have awarded the Gold Medal of the Foundation, for 1928, in the field of national Negro business and Negro achievement, to Samuel W. Rutherford, the guiding genius for thirty years of the National Benefit.

Fidelity is one of them—Fidelity, mother of Security, sister of Truth. In fidelity to an ideal of service this Company came into being, more than thirty years ago. In that fidelity it has grown and prospered—amazingly. This growth and this prosperity, rooted in fidelity, are among the important assets of our advancing Negro commerce. In that sense they are your assets too and will, in even larger measure, be assets of your children. It is in that spirit, and from that viewpoint, we have here set down the figures which express the progress of this Company in 1928—the latest link in a chain stretching back to a past century. These figures express prosperity but in no narrow sense. They mean increased peace and security in hundreds of thousands of Negro homes. They mean better living conditions, better employment conditions, for more hundreds of thousands of Negro men and women. They mean more schooling and better schooling to pave the way to a brighter future for perhaps a million or more Negro boys and girls in whose hands lies the future of our Race. WASHINGTON D.C.

FRANCE COMPANY BAPTIST ROW OVER CATS TO STAY IN BAG Charges Against the Rev. J. H. Green Settled in Executive Session An apology by the Rev. J. H. Green for declaring that "the whole Baptist family needs airing out" ended the contention and the necessity of the cats being let out and the bag at the meeting at Enon Baptist Church., Monday. In an executive session the ministers accepted a retraction of the Rev. Green in which he said that inasmuch as he was in the Baptist family such a statement by him must have been hasty and ill-considered. The trouble which has been causing stormy sessions at the ministers meetings for the past three weeks began when the Rev. Green was charged before the conference with violating church polity in baptising non-Baptist converts. No Action Taken No action was taken for the alleged violation of church polity, when the committee appointed to consider disciplinary charges against the pastor reported there were no laws of the body embracing the charge. As a result of the matter, however, a committee was appointed to draft laws regulating such matters and to present them before the body.

Manokoo, pastor of St. Paul Church, Washington, speak-declared that the West African working in the A.M.E. ministers' meeting, can only be developed by staying on the job. The Rev. L. S.

W. J. Smith, of Morristown, N. J., opening a revival service at Abyssinia Baptist church, Franklin and Poppleton streets, Sunday morning. Announcing his text as Matt. 28:19, 20, the minister argued from the subject, "Making Conditions," declaring among other things: "The object of so-called revivals is to save sinners and not rake coals of fire around the Christians. Luke-warm or smoldering Christians represent decadence and death, so how can this be when Christ is the source of fire and of life? be when Christ is the source of life. "Crowds seldom mean anything in movements for good. Multitudes as a rule follow for loaves and curiosity. Jesus had them trailing Him, yet the greatest work He accomplished was among small groups. "The mission of the church is to save. To throw wide the doors of God's house to other uses is flagrant desecration and a certain miscarriage of its Founder's plan. Such misuse is responsible in a large measure for non-productive, luke-warm, perishing congregations and their loss of influence over sinful men and women. "To reach sinners you must be a good mixer, yet a powerful one. Mix like the leaven in bread—change them to your manner of life, point them to your Saviour. her or life, point them to you.

Colored Catholic Churches Triple Members in 20 Years In States Like Massachusetts, Race Catholics Not Listed Separately. New York, Washington, D. C., Have More Negro Catholics Than Maryland. Louisiana Leads With 60,000 Colored Catholics. WASHINGTON. D. C. April 15 The Bureau of the Census report of Religious Bodies for 1926 shows a total membership in the Roman Catholic Church of 18,605,003 in 18,-940 local church organizations. Included in these figures there are 124,324 Negro members in 147 separate local organizations. In 1906, the colored membership in separate churches of their own was 44,982 and in 1916, 51,688. In the decade 1916 to 1926 the number grew to 124,324: the increase being 72,-636, which is more than three times the number reported in 1906. It is to be noted, however, that Negro Catholics do not all belong to the race churches. Massachusetts with a total Catholic membership of 1,629,424 shows no separate figures for Negro communicants. A similar condition exists in many states where thousands of colored communicants attend and are members of local white churches, and are therefore not included in those figures. Beesins With Baptism Membership in the Roman Catholic Church begins with baptism and is the condition of membership, whether that sacrament is received in infancy or in adult years, and all persons baptized in the Catholic faith are so numbered unless by formal act they have renounced such membership. The herewith available presents the more important statistics for the United States of this element of the Roman Catholic Church including churches membership, value of church edifices, debt on church edifices, value of parsonages and number of Sundav School scholars for urban and rural communities for 1926; and comparative figures for 1916 and 1906. 117 City Churches Urban churches are those located in cities or other incorporated places which had 2,500 inhabitants or more on January 1, 1920, the date of the last Federal census. Rural churches, in accordance with the census definition, are those located in territory outside such incorporated places. Of the 147 local church organizations, 117 of them are in urban territory and the most of these are in the larger cities of the country.

An unemployment survey in Baltimore made by the police department and given to the public by the Commissioner of Labor and Statistics makes some interesting revelations. Of 13,177 men and women who are usually employed, but found by the survey to be now out of employment, 3,987, or about one third, are colored. According to the population ratio of one colored to seven whites in this city, these figures reveal that, proportionally, twice as many colored as whites have been let out of jobs as labor has slackened. The report also shows that while among women domestic servants there are 610 without jobs and among men common laborers there are 1,845 without employment, yet, in the more skilled occupations the proportional number of unemployed is almost negligible. For instance, practically all stenographers, dressmakers, carpenters, printers, paper hangers, plumbers and ever, semi-skilled workers who had jobs at the beginning of the slack period, have been able to keep them. This should be interesting information for parents of boys and who give up their training trade and professional schools. There is still plenty of work for those trained to do something worth while. n a Teapot." The flurry over the status of the vice president's sister as official hostess may be dismissed by the casual reader as a "tempest in a teapot" or it may be amusing to the American proletarian who chuckles over this flare up of frothy class mimicry of a passing European system of society. But analysts will have to dive into deeper water to find the real cause which produced such a bitter fight against the duly named "official hostess" of Vice-President Curtis. No doubt when astute politicians of the Republican party sought to stem the tide of opposition coming out of the indomitable West 'uring the last campaign, they had no idea they were sowing so much wind in selecting a vice-presidential candidate in whose veins flowed the blood of the red man.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 20; 1929 remotely connected with the fight to keep Mrs. Gann from beaming over her soup as the second lady of the land; but butlers and waiters in Washington will tell you that it has been the topic at more than one exclusive dinner table. And if this has not been the cause, "why this martial array"? What possible objection could anyone have to a vice-president naming his own "hostess" in this land of the free and home of the brave? It must give the elife of the Nordics spinal tremblings to contemplate that one of these days it may turn out that not only Indian, but Negro blood will seep into the White House. In fact, it was rumored once or twice, and may have been the fact, that a slight trace of Negro blood had crossed the portals without making the ship go on the rocks. Which Way the White Blood Flows. For a long while white blood flowed in but one direction. Perhaps it is starting to flow back. Down in plantation cabins, in trysting places, in the "big houses" and houses "behind the cedars" the white man sent his blood trickling into Negro veins, as he thought, to return no more. Some times it was the slave girl to whom the law denied the right to protect even her own body; and some times it was a passion swept mistress who went the easiest way. With the Indian it was different. Unconquered, he was driven to the Western wastes before the gun and torch. And it was not until it turned out that under this soil upon which he had been driven, flowed oil, did gold-seeking Anglo-Saxons follow him in quest of this riches-yielding land by the matrimonial route. Now mixed with black and red, that white blood is flowing back in broader and deeper streams. Every day some blond colored man or woman fades out of his own picture and into the white group. Our System of American Happiness. But aside from whatever motivated the opposition to Mrs. Gann, there is an angle to the whole affair which should interest every student of American institutions. Social intercourse, still clinging to old worn out customs, follows the brutal philosophy of capitalistic class hatreds. In a system like this there can be but one really happy man or woman. He or she will be the surviving one who succeeds in wrestling the most dollars from his or her fellow-beings and sitting one seat ahead of every other person at the banquet table.

Every other human being must spend an existence, according to this philosophy, struggling to get into that one place. a "Red Herring." Steeped both in race prejudice and exploitive capitalism; the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record, resorts to the time worn trick of drawing across the trail of the industrial struggle the "red herring, of the danger to white supremacy, in an endeavor to curb white mill workers in the South in their fight for a fairer share of profits and more civilized working conditions in the cotton mills. Calling attention to the fact that communists are trying to upset the present order of things in the mill districts, the Record says that a part of their program is to stir up the Negro worker to concerted action with the whites. When the cry, "Bolshevist" failed to work, it was the most natural thing for publications like the Manufacturers' Record to yell. "Neerdomination" in order to keep southern white factory workers grinding out millions for the capitalists at starvation wages. But this time, neither the cry of "Bolshevist" nor "white supremacy" will be able to retard the growth of a new attitude towards industrialism which is sweeping the South. Young white men and women everywhere are coming to see that a worker is a worker, whether he be black or white; and that in this day of organized efficiency, all workers will have to stick together in order to force greedy captains of industry to give them their rightful share of the things they produce. Another angle of the revolution in the Carolinas is that, having barred the Negro workers from the factories, they will not be able to appeal to them to help break the present strikes.

SAYS BY KELLY MILLER Lincoln University, students may be pitied, if not blamed, for self-stultification, in declaring against the competency of their own race. Professor George William Cook, Alumni Secretary of Howard University, in the regular course of duty, sent a formal request to Jenichiro Oyabi, Tokio, Japan, requesting subscription to the Alumni Journal. Mr. Oyabi is a graduate of Howard University in the class of 1894, who immediately upon graduation returned to his native country where he has been engaged in educational and literary work ever since. In 1896, his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts. Mr. Oyabi's educational work has been among the Aino People, the aborigines of Japan. A recent issue of the Japan Advertiser contains an account of two of his books, one which has attained its fifteenth edition and the other its sixth. His thesis is to show that the Japanese race is derived from the lost tribes of Israel. His dissertations give him rank among the noted scholars of Japan. Simple Faith My purpose in indicting this release is not to exploit the scholarship and learned repute of this Oriental son of Howard, but to set forth his simple faith and devout spirit. His letter reads: "When I first met with Dr. Rankin (then president of Howard University) he bid me to read Proverbs 22, verse one—A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches and loving favor rather than silver and gold." He goes on the describe his fame as a scholar, and his lack of success from a monetary point of view. The letter concludes with emphasis upon his ideal—"I hope you will understand my standpoint of life, and my dear Dr. Rankin's golden teaching from the Bible." Old and New When this letter fell under my eye I could not help reflecting deeply upon the old idea of education as contrasted with the new. Dr. Rankin represented the old New England School of pedagogy which insisted in and out of season upon the development of character through moral maxims and religious instruction. I recall on one occasion he stoutly upbraided the dean because he was indisposed to upset his schedule to make place for a course in the Bible. With no little heat of feeling he reminded the hesitant dean that he was not willing to jeopardize the salvation of the students' souls to accommodate the exigencies of his schedule. Bible and Text Book The Christian missionaries came down from the North with the Bible in the right hand and the textbook in the left. Their chief concern was to inculcate character rather than to impart technical intelligence. The soil upon which they worked was virgin soil. The seed sown took instant root and sprung into ripened fruit. It is easy to imagine the impressionable mind of young Oyabi, fresh from the hand of the missionary to Japan, as it comes into first contact with the genial and kindly preceptor in another land. The memory of that scripture lesson guided and directed his whole life. What was true of Oyabi was equally true of the thousands of black boys from the farms when they first came in touch with the good missionary preceptors from the North. They stood as the sons of God interpreting the words of wisdom and truth to the children of men. The child believes what the parent says merely because he says it. But alas, he cannot forever remain in the stage of childhood. Blind obedience must give way to self-understanding. The transition never occurs without great loss. Loss and Gain The paternal dispensation of the missionary regime must needs give way to the new demands of the new day. I sometimes wonder if the Negro has not loss more than he has gained by the shift. The missionary dispensation has given way to purely self-directive, secular agencies. Religious instruction has been replaced by the technicalities of modern pedagogy. Our children are much more efficiently taught in the letter, but what about the spirit? What will be the permanent effect upon the character of the generation now coming into control of affairs? With them will silver and gold outweigh loving favor? Cannot our youth in America learn valuable lessons from Oyabi, the Oriental, whose simple soul has not been misled by the igneous phantom of silver and gold? Lincoln University I read with curious interest the decision of the students in Lincoln University against Negro teachers for Negro youth. These young people were doubtless impelled by forces and influences which they did not fully comprehend. Linclon University has been under the uninterrupted tuition of the missionary type. The moral and religious currents have been made to play upon them without cessation. The faculty was --- carefully selected for this attitude. These young people have been indoctrinated in the missionary and philanthropic atmosphere. They may be pitied, if not blamed, for self-stultification, in declaring against the competency of their own race. There is implied an unconscious lack of self-respect. Older Groups If the high and holy pretensions, of Lincoln, Howard, Atlanta, Fisk, et al., in their earlier day could he perpetuated and brought forward, there would indeed be no need of discussing the race identity of instructors or instructed. It was merely a case of the older brother instructing the younger brother in the way in which he should go. But unfortunately race prejudice has fixed a social gulf across which neither the one nor the other is free to pass. The white teacher must teach the Negro pupil to live a life different from his own. He durst not say that—"Where I am, there ye shall be also," but rather—"Where I go you cannot follow." Can a Gentile teach a Jew how to live the life of Jewry? The white teacher of Negro youth labors under the heavy handicap of racial separation. On the other hand, the Negro preceptor, cut off from touch with the fountain head from which all blessings flow, may experience handicaps of another character. Neither method when used exclusively is ideal. Here as elsewhere, truth lies in the median. Turn Back But back to Oyabi. Here was a Japanese youth who became inspired for his life's task by the kindly and paternal tuition of a white missionary in a land foreign to his own. He quickly caught the suggestion of service and selflessness which followed him the rest of his life. With this single note, he crosses the seas and makes a brilliant career aside from the sordid itch for wealth. If we could—I fear we can't—turn back the flight of time and return to the simple moral tuition of the good old missionary type, I wonder if it might not be better for us all. After experiencing the delusive quest of silver and gold, may we not, after all, return to the conclusion that Oyabi has chosen the better part? LINOTYPE BIRTHDAYS APRIL 20: Lucus E.

And of course it would be too much for Mr. Prichard to refuse to sit in a party causes with Mr. DePriest.

They receive an under-average school term with under-paid instructors. Parents suffer most. They pay equal taxes and get short-changed in school facilities. The remedy for this, the legislature having refused to act, is in the courts. The time is ripe for an appeal to the judiciary and we are confident that there are existing legal precedents and sufficient courage in the courts of the state to return a satisfying answer to such a plea for justice. (EDITOR'S NOTE—A questionnaire circulated among Lincoln University students showed a majority in favor of an all-white faculty. The comment is written by Dr. Francis J. Grimke, pastor of Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, one of Lincoln's oldest and most revered alumni.) To the Editor. Afro-American: Your letter, inclosing clippings in regard to the answers to the questionnaire circulated among the students of Lincoln University and the answer of President Johnson to the question put to him in regard to the matter, was duly received and considered. You wish to know what I think on the affair. In what follows you will find my answer: I was surprised at the action of the students. I could hardly bring myself to believe that any body of Negro students who respected themselves or their race, could be guilty of such action. Especially, with Howard University, the greatest of Negro universities, before them; where are to be found able, scholarly men of the race filling responsible positions as professors and filling them well. 2. A moment's reflection, however, made me feel that it was not after all surprising, that they should have acted as they did. When it is remembered that for decades, during its whole past history until the present administration, the ideal held up at Lincoln was that positions as trustees and as professors were reserved for white men only, it is not surprising that the depreciation of the Negro, involved in such a policy, should still be reflected in the attitude of the students to-day. Poison This depreciation of the Negro has tainted, poisoned the whole atmosphere of the school, and it will be some time before the poison can be eliminated; before the students will be able to rise to the full stature of men, respecting themselves and their race. And this will never be fully accomplished until colored men are found among its professors. When they see capable, competent, scholarly members of the race in such positions they will learn to respect themselves and their race, and so get from under the blighting effects of the old Lincoln tradition. 3. I was also surprised at the answer of Dr. Johnson to the question that was put to him, namely, "Did the questionnaire represent his own views?" His answer, as reported, was: "The matter has never come before the college faculty or the board of trustees, when, and if it did, the administration would express itself." No Convictions That would seem to imply, it does imply, that the administration, faculty and trustees have no convictions on the matter, no settled principle by which they are to be guided. I supposed, when the old defunct policy of shutting colored men out of the board of trustees had been abandoned, and a representative of the race elected to the board, that the color bar, as it respected professors was also lifted. Frank Answer I cannot understand, therefore, why Dr. Johnson should have answered as he did; why he did not say frankly and unhesitatingly: There is no color bar NOW at Lincoln. When the time comes to fill professorships, if a man is qualified to do the work, his color will be no bar to his appointment. That, it seems to me, in justice to himself and to the new policy of the university, is the kind of answer that he ought to have made. It would have set him in a better light and also the institution. The answer which he made leaves the question, as to the eligibility of colored men to professorships in the university, unsettled. I for one did not think that there was any doubt about the matter. If the matter has not been settled, it ought to be, and the public should know. The institution ought not to be sailing under false colors. We know that colored men are now eligible to the board. Are they also, eligible to professorships in the university? Dr. Johnson Says Dr. Johnson says the matter has never come up; whether it has come up formally or not, are we to understand that it is still an unsettled question, a question about which there is, or can be any doubt? If so, we ought to know it. This is the time for the administration to sneak out, to make clear what its attitude is on the question. The above sentiments are heartily approved by my brother, A. H. Grimke who is sick and unable to write himself. Both of us have absolutely no patience with the old spirit of depreciation of the manhood of the Negro which ruled Lincoln for so many years; nor we have any patience with the spirit which this questionnaire has brought out as existing among the students. All Positions Open We believe that in Negro institutions, at least, all positions should be opened to all qualified applicants regardless of race or color. To attempt to shut anyone out simply on account of his race or color should not be tolerated for a moment. FRANCIS J. GRIMKE, Washington, D.C. Not familiar with basis for Lincoln students' complaints, but consider their action unwise. On the surface, it seems to discredit the Negro teachers. As consistent anti-segregationist. I favor some mixing of the faculty; also of students in educational institutions in northern states as a means undermining denial of civil rights and privileges privileges. Wm. MONROE TROTTER.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (April 2, 1904) I can recall that Frederick Douglass once par-took of President Cleveland's hospitality in the presidential mansion, but Mr. Douglass had been there before. President Lincoln once sent his carriage for Mr. Douglass with the request that Douglass come up and take a cup of tea with him. The invitation was accepted and for the first time in our history, the executive carriage was employed to carry such a guest to the White House. Mr. Douglass subsequently remarked that Mr. Lincoln was one of the few white men he ever passed an hour with, who failed to remind him in some way that he was a Negro. Congressman DePriest. Perhaps it was on account of the Honorable Oscar DePriest, that the new Congress, on Monday abandoned its practice of swearing in new members by groups and gave the membership the oath in a body. Taken utterly by surprise. Dixie congressmen, who had planned to object to Mr. DePriest on account of his race, allowed the procedure to pass by without a flutter. Several gusts of wind had already been taken from their sails when Mr. DePriest settled the matter of his indictment in connection with alleged election frauds back at home in Chicago, and came on to Washington with skirts clean. Speaker Longworth's long headed strategy robbed the troublemakers of whatever mischief there remained. Mr. DePriest was not insulted; well thinking members were not embarrassed; and the Congress went to work to transact the nation's business instead of arguing the nation's color problem. Mr. DePriest is not sensitive, nor is he afflicted with an inferiority complex. To the contrary he is peremptory, austere, somewhat hardboiled and in the long run, his opponents may find out that he sends back as well as he receives. In this connection the point is worth noting that the Republican leaders in this case used their brains instead of their lungs, and the demonstration indicates that there is present the kind of brains which will prove itself to be a match for the Anti-Saloon League, the political parsons, the anti-Catholics and the 100 per centers as well. TABLOID For the past three weeks the AFRO-AMERICAN has appeared in tabloid form,—pages one-half the size of its previous issues. It represents, we believe, a step in advance, However, any change at all is usually attendant with advantages and disadvantages, profit and loss. On one hand, the tabloid form makes the newspaper easier to handle and easier to read. It permits a grouping of kindred subjects on a single page and benefits the reader by enabling him to focus upon a smaller area of printed matter at one time. The advertiser gets a better setting for his show window. Readers have written us that the smaller page has disclosed advertisements to them which were heretofore "buried" and unread. The style of news writing is condensed. The reader gets his information in fewer words with less effort. On the other hand, there are practical drawbacks to the tabloid. The inside margins of pages represent a net loss in advertising and reading space. Two pages to a form in the composing room requires more work in make-up and therefore greater expense. Readers and advertisers are accustomed thru many years to the standard size newspaper. The tabloid is something new in the United States; but nearly all European papers have pages of the same sized as the present AFROAMERICAN or smaller. This newspaper has always set itself against either static or makeshift. In this world of rapid change and push, we believe our readers expect progress. With these advantages in mind, and they clearly outweigh the disadvantages—the increased cost included—the AFRO has assumed the tabloid form.

University students in their view that no colored person is qualified to become a member of the faculty, altho the institution is 75 years old? (Asked of Lincoln Univ. Alumni) The Rev. John W. Norris, 1347 N. Calhoun street, A.M.E. Church, presiding elder: "You know I am a Hamite. I favor a colored faculty. Not that I have any objection to the present white faculty, but I have racial interest and therefore, favor a colored faculty." Dr. Edward J. Wheatley, physician 1230 Druid Hill Avenue: I favor a colored member on the faculty provided we get the type of man who will function as well as those already there, but I would not favor a colored member otherwise.' The Rev. W. W. Walker, pastor Madison Street Presbyterian Church, 2102 Madison avenue: "I have no comment to make on the question." Rev. John Colbert, 829 N. Fremont avenue, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, president Lincoln Alumni Association: "I would prefer a continuation of the present policy at Lincoln University." When asked directly whether he meant the policy of having a white faculty, he declared. "Yes, I would approve a white faculty with a few colored members, of course, but I would not like to see at present, the development of a whole colored faculty at Lincoln." Dr. Francis N. Cardozo, physician, "This is a serious question. I want to study over it. I have no comment to make." Warner T. McGuinn, city councilman and attorney, 21F St. Paul place: "I have written to the president of Lincoln University asking about the whole matter. Until I have received a reply I do not wish to make any comment. When I have received such a reply, I will make a statement in the AFRO." In The Press In The Press African "Beast" (N.Y. Dispatch to Phila. Pa. Record) Three members of the expedition sent by the Public Museum of Milwaukee into East Africa returned here today on the Homeric, convinced the wildest thing in Africa is the mosquito. Native tribes were peaceful, lions docile. Even the charging rhinoceros and the belligerent bongo, a rare species of antelope, gave scant trouble compared with the mosquito. Dr. A. S. Barrett, chief of the expedition, said. Marylander Has Room Near De Priest (From the Washington, D.C. Tribune) DePriest's office is located on the first floor of the building along the South corridor. Across the hall facing his office in Room 129 is Yon, a democrat from Florida; 131, Evans of Montana; 133. Clarke from Maryland. Room 134, which is next to Prichard's, and the second door from DePriest, is Maas, of Minnesota. No complaint has been registered by any of these men.

Thanks to Reader Smith, who Gives Informing Additions to Our List of Colored Congressmen. To the Editor: I would like to see you make one correction in last week's issue concerning colored men who served in Congress. All you stated is practically true, except the name and service of J. H. Menard of Louisiana 40th Congress, one year. According to the record, Mr. Menard never served in Congress at all; not any more so than Pinckney B. S. Pinchback of Louisiana, who contested the election of his opponent, William L. McMillen, for a whole senatorial term, and he (Pinchback) was never seated in the U. S. Senate, yet he was paid for a full term, owing to the contest. Therefore, we cannot consider him a senator. The same kind of contest occurred with Aaron P. Prioleau, of South Carolina, a colored man who contested the election of his opponent in the 61st and 62nd Congresses, and he was never seated. Therefore, we cannot consider Mr. Pinchback a senator nor can we add Mr. Prioleau's name as a congressman to our group. As to Mr. J. Willis Menard, the Biographical Directory of the American Congress, 1774-1927, has this record: "Caleb S. Hunt and J. Willis Menard claimed to have been elected to fill the vacancy, and Simon Jones claimed he was elected instead of Mann in the first instance. 'The House decided against all claimants and the seat remained vacant for the remainder of the session.' The above case was in the Fortieth Congress of the United States, March 4, 1867.—March 3, 1869. Neither of the contestants were in the 41st, 42nd 43rd, nor 44th Congress. I'm sure you want to educate the public along the right line, and you want the world to have our true history, and for that reason I am submitting a true statement of facts, according to official record. ARTHUR J. SMITH. Washington, D. C. Big Leagues Might Use Colored Players if Fans Would Boycott Games 15 the Editor. Now that the baseball season is open, I would like the readers of the AFRO-AMERICAN to tell me how any American Negro can get up enough enthusiasm to attend the white man's ball games? If it were not so pathetic it would be amusing to see some of our men with vice-president brains rushing from their messenger jobs (messengers, because their color bars them from anything else) to go spend their hard earned money to see white boys play. White boys who would not even sit beside them in an eating joint. We cannot go to their theaters nor eat in their restaurants because they have reached the place where our money is not needed. And when the baseball coffers are sufficiently full, we will then be told to take the bleachers. Their money does not help a single Negro. They spend their money week after week to see a national game when no Negro is represented, even tho there are many expert Negro players. As long as we are happy to watch the other side play without our own being represented, it will be so. Negroes are being put in the movies to boost trade, would they not be put into baseball if we withdrew our financial support? My congratulations on your new paper. I like it fine. Now for a real, live children's page. CONSTANT READER, Washington. D.C. J H. Menard Never Served as a Member of Congress from Louisiana To the Editor: I notice that you list "J. H. Menard" as a member of the fortieth Congress. A hasty review of the Congressional Record shows that J. Willis Menard was never seated as a member of the fortieth Congress. His credentials as a member of the House from the State of Louisiana to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of James Mann were presented on December 18. 1868. His credentials were referred to the committee on elections, there being some question as to whether a vacancy existed. A contest was later filed by Caleb S. Hunt, who charged that the committee of canvassers rejected 19.078 votes out of 27.019 cast in the election and gave the certificate of election to Mr. Menard on the vote of three of the seven parishes in the second district of Louisiana. On February 27. 1869, the House defeated a resolution providing that Caleb S. Hunt is entitled to a seat in this House as the representative of the second congressional district of Louisiana in place of James Mann. deceased. the vote on the resolution being, yeas. 57; nays. 130. Immediately following a vote was taken on an amendment to an amendment on the adoption of the report of the committee providing that. J. Willis Menard holding a certificate from the Governor of Louisiana that he was duly elected as a representative from the second district of that state be admitted to a seat in this House pending the consideration of the case. The vote was yeas. 57; nays. 130. LOUIS R. LAUTIER. Washington, D.C. 10 Picture, Taken from Great Stage Success, to Have Only Two-Day Run. SHOW "RED DANCE" Fiery Drama of Love. The extremes of passionate love and a mysterious murder will be offered patrons of the Regent Theatre, next week. Dolores Del Rio will be seen in "The Red Dance, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Charles Farrel and Iyan Linow are also featured in the production which shows Miss Del Rio in one of her most fiery roles. The picture broke all records at the Roxy Theatre in New York City. For Thursday and Friday the management is presenting the all-star special "Strange Cargo," hailed by critics as one of the greatest dramas written. The picture is a mystifying thriller and has as its background a murder on the high seas. A man is murdered in the same room in which there are a dozen people, yet no one sees the bloody crime. Suspense and tense drama make the picture one of the most gripping of the year. In the cast are Lee Patrick, June Nash. George Barraud, and others. Ken Maynard. in "The Canyon of Adventure"" a First National picture will be seen at the Regent. Saturday the picture being full of speed. action and thrills. STAGE REVUE Unless you crave a revival of a number of the old songs, and like forced comedy, you may not find the "Hollywood Revue." playing the Royal Theatre, much to your liking. Talent, sparsely scattered thru the production gives hints at times of better things which somehow fail to materialize. Best bets on the program are Myrtle Speights, who dances in and out of a soubret role and the chorus; the Royal Orchestra on the stage, the male half of the team of Allen and Allen, George, to be exact, who by his absurdities proves the best show stopper; and the dancing team of Montgomery and Reid, with Leonard Reid doing more than two-thirds of the work. George Craft, as a wench, does some good dancing. James Lancaster, an elongated dancer, clicks in some eccentric twisting and tapping and Gladys Dorsey, a local girl, is heard in song, and while we can forgive her stage shyness which she displayed at the Tuesday matinee, we cannot forgive her selection of "Sonny Boy" as her main tune. Juanita Gonzales, who is easy to gaze upon, is heard in one song number which to us seemed rather flat. Sol Speights and Charlie Smith are the comedians. Randolph Johnson is straight man. In the chorus which is below average, are Eliza Doctor, Alice Hall. Annie Mae Coles, Bobbie Anderson. Anna Rose Turner, Rose Withers, Mary Welch and Wilma Allen. "Harlem to Dixie" Were it nor for Howard and Dorsey, local boys, billed as the "Cuban Tumblers." and Billy Petway, the "Harlem to Dixie" show at the Lincoln Theatre, might find transportation hard "Hardtack" Jackson, Dusty Morris, and Dinah Scott, who are capable of much better things, have brought an old routine that is not so favorable. Gertrude Scott shows her old ability as a leading lady and fills her part well, but Henrietta Liggett does not have the peep and go that a soubret should have. Fred Walker overworks his part as a juvenile straight. Much of the success of the production is due to Lannie Scott, pianist; and Sonny Wilson, drummer, who add much ped to what otherwise would be a rather slow vehicle. T. O. B. A.

THE JAZZ REGIMENT AT ROYAL NEXT WEEK THE JAZZ REGIMENT AT ROYAL NEXT WEEK Following in the wake of big successes before invading New York, the musical comedy, "The Jazz Regiment." opens a special engagement of one week beginning next Monday, April 22 at the Royal theatre. This attraction which shattered attendance records in Philadelphia where it played for four successive weeks, invaded Baltimore and took up its stand at the Embassy theatre where it was hailed by the newspapers of the city as an outstanding achievement. Following the engagement at the downtown house, "The Jazz Regiment" went to Washington for three weeks, and while there it was viewed and applauded by brilliant audiences composed of high government officials, foreign diplomats and the heads of the United States Army, Navy and Marine corps. The Royal, for the week "The Jazz Regiment" is here, will have a matinee each day at 2:30 and an evening performance at 8:30. Then there will be a monster Midnight Ramble on Sunday night at exactly one minute past 12 o'clock. Patrons may purchase seats in advance at the box office of the theatre before the opening day of "The Jazz Regiment." The prices of tickets have been so arranged that each and every person who enjoys entertainment, can attend. The cast of "The Jazz Regiment" contains many noted stars including Gertrude Saunders. Juanita Stinnette. Chappie Chappelle. John Mason, "Dusty". Fletcher. Andrew Tribble. Al Young. Pearl McCormick and two quartets, the Suwanee Four and the Birmingham Four. The show is loaded with comedy from curtain to curtain and has swift dancing and tuneful melodies. Play de la Piel ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Bay Co.

PRESIDENT OPENS The President has been leased for one entire week, beginning Sunday evening, April 14, through the cooperation of Mr. A. E. Lichtman, for the colored citizens of Washington, to see "The Jazz Regiment." It is the fastest, the funniest, the most remarkable all-colored musical comedy ever produced. It is composed of seventy of the greatest stars of the colored race. The story deals with the enlistment of two boys in the United States Marine corps. The fact-that there never was a race Marine affords John Mason, Andrew Tribble and "Dusty" Fletcher much material for comedy. Beautiful scenery, depicts the Marine barracks in the Southland and colorful sets show the Philippine Islands.

Thrills and Romance! 12 STAGE REVIEW Lyrics by Berry Bradford Music by Jimmy Johnson Dances by Eddie Rector While it is not our custom to deal in superlatives, and it is not our intent to do so now, we feel it is safe to say that "Messin' Around," the musical show now having its premiere at the Embassy Theatre, more nearly approaches Broadway calibre than any of the aspiring vehicles we have witnessed this year. Billed as a novelty, "Messin' Around" makes no pretense of following any sustained theme or motif as far as the mechanics of stagecraft are concerned. Yet it does set as its goal the presentation of carefree entertainment which is evident from the opening, curtain to the finale. Dancing and singing are furnished in abundance, and the show has some haunting, tunes and some excellent dancers. Hilda Perleno and Sterling Grant make an ideal pair tho a little more volume to Miss Perleno's voice would not be superfluous. Grant appears to even better advantage than he did in the ill-fated "Deep Harlem." Hiss ong umber "Your Love Is All That I Crave." sung with Miss Perleno, is one of the outstanding musical hits of the production. Monette Moore, as a disher of blues, is out there, and let us tell you right here that her song. "Keep Your Mind Right On It" is going to make some THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1929 money for its writers. With Joseph Willis doing a "Snakehips" to perfection, the number stopped the show. Comedy, which is the weakest department in the entire show, is furnished by Billy McLaurin and James Thompson, two droll comedians who are handicapped by having old gags stuck down their throats. Added novelties include the boxing match between Miss Emmc. Maitland and Mrs. Aurelia Wheeldin, only licensed female boxers in the world. Dancing in all its varieties is furnished by William, McKelvey, Charles Johnson, and the very likeable Cora La Redd, whose personable appeal is quite contagious, James Thomas, and a number of others. A hand-picked chorus. easy on the eye, danced with an abandon that cly race girls car. exhibiting a speed and dash that, brought them encore after encore. Dressed. or maybe undressed, in elaborate and colorful costumes. the group is one of the most representative seen on the Baltimore this season, ranging in color from rich shades of chocolate to the higher reaches of rich cream color. Walter Brogsdale possesses a powerful baritone voice, while Louis Craddock brought down the house with his high tenor notes. The chir has some good voices in it and the Three Harmony Sisters halted the show. Song numbers that hit the spot, include "Shout On." a spiritual: "I Don't Love Nobody," "Mississippi," and "Skiddle-de-Scow." Jimmy Johnson led the orchestra from the pit. The storm scene smacks strangely of "Porgy" and there're a few bars MANTONE The greatest prescription ever compounded, containing in proper proportions many of the medicines prescribed by greatest authorities, leading physicians and druggists-for aching backs, pains in the limbs, muscular pains and general system disorders-praised most highly because of its prompt and efficient manner of relieving the suffering.

Considering that this is its premiere it seems safe to say that "Messin' Around" has natural possibilities for bigger things. We started out to avoid any superlatives, but if we've used any we suggest that you see the show and then try to refrain from using them. W J G. New$30,000 Theatre JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Neal D.

"BLACKBIRDS" COMING TO FORD'S MONDAY The second company of Lew Leslie's successful "Blackbirds," following a long run in Philadelphia, will open at Ford's Theatre, here for a week's run beginning next Monday.

Other notables include Jessica Zackeray, Joyner & Foster, Hamtree Harrington, Worthy and Thompson, Aaron Palmer, Emmett Anthony, Cecil Mack' choir, the internationally famous Will Vodery Plantation Orchestra and several other feature players and novelties. players and never Wednesda and Saturday matinees will be given. DETROIT.—The second company of "Harlem" which opened at Schubert's Lafayette Theatre here last Monday, bids fair to rival its New York original in popularity if first week audiences can be taken as any criterion.

New York Show Talk By MAURICE DANCER Broadway Gets Darker With the record breaking run of "Blackbirds" that is nearing a year at the Eltinge theatre, "Show Boat" in its fifteenth month at the Zeigfeld, and the sudden success of "Harlem" at the Apollo, and the opening of a second company in Detroit last week, it seems that the race show fever has hit Broadway again with the many productions preparing to make a bid for the gay white way. "Messin' Around" will be the first to make its bow, opening at the Hudson next Monday, the 22nd. "Mr. George," by Maceo Pinkard, Noble Sissie, Moss and Frye, opened Monday at the Lafayette, and after a few out-of-town dates, will return for a try at the bright lights. Connie's Inn Revue will try to follow in the footsteps of "Blackbirds," which was a floor show at the Ambassadors Club. Leonard Harper, the producer, has called the rehearsals to elaborate on his present floor show, to make it into a Broadway attraction. Garland Howard's "De Social Function," is now rehearsing at the Liberty, opening Monday at Werba's Brooklyn theatre, and has the Vanderbilt all set for its Broadway premiere. Wanted!

The former "Our Gang" player's feature opens with a girl singing "Swance River." Sammy's little-partner does a buck dance on a mat: Sammy sings and dances, the other boy does a stairway buck, then a trio dance. The voice does not measure up to standard, but the stepping is good, and the routine is nicely laid out. NEW YORK - For the first time in four years Charles Johnson's.

FANS BRAVE COLD TO SEE SOX WIN LOCAL NINE TURNS IN TWIN VICTORY LOCAL NINE TURNS IN TWIN VICTORY Brooklyn Royal Giants Beaten in Two Contests, by 8-1 and 1-0 Scores. WILSON STRIKES OUT Jess Hubbard Hurls Shutout Ball in Nightcap. The Black Sox hit-and-run factory turned out two more victories Sunday, when the local dark-hosed clan bumped the reorganized Brooklyn Royals by the scores of 8-1 and 1-0, at Maryland Park. Fans who braved the unseasonable weather to witness the two contests, sat shivering with their heavy overcoats on but managed to find enough in the doubleheader to keep them warm. Not an error did the locals make while a number by the Royals added much to the scoring chances of the Westport clan. "Red" Ryan hurled the opener for the Sox, being opposed by Stark and Gisentaner. Ryan was touched for seven safeties while the Sox were nickering the two Royal pitchers for a baker's dozen bingles. The first score of the game, and the only one for the Royals, came in the third inning, when Stark tallied on Seay's hit. Not to be outdone the Sox came right back in their half of the third to score four runs. In the seventh and eighth stanzas the locals accounted for four more runs. Dixon and Marcell led in the hitting for the Sox, each connecting safely three times in four times at bat, Dixon's longest hit being a triple. Brooks, centerfieldier for the visitors, banged out the old apple three times in four times up. "Babe Ruth" Wilson. of the Sox, struck out once during this game. Hubbard in Form The second contest of five innings, found "Big Jess" Hubbard holding the Brooklynites in the palm of his hand, allowing two safeties, both doubles, but never being in danger of being scored upon. The Sox touched Redding for a trio of hits and scored their only run in the second inning of the game when Lundy singled, advanced to second and Washington walked and scored on Gomez's two-bagger. Next Sunday the Sox will oppose the Philadelphia Giants ina twin bill at Maryland Park, this being the final big attraction before the opening of the league season, on April 28.

RENS LEAD AT HALF See Advantage Slip Away in Closing Moments. Unable to overcome their weakness in shooting goals, the Renaissance basketball tossers were forced to bow in defeat to the Original Celtics, white, by a 26 to 23 score, in the final test of a seven-game series at Richmond Market Armory, Saturday night, before a crowd of less than 1,000 persons The teams had previously played six games,the Celtics winning five by 12 of 21 chances from the foul game the Rens showed a marked weakness in caging foul goals and it was this weakness that caused their downfall, Saturday night. They outscored the Shamrock quint from the floor, caging 8 baskets to seven for the Celtics, but the Celtics made of 12 and 22 chances from the foul line while the Rens made 7 of 14 attempts. Mavers Starts Scoring "Hugo" Mayers, of the Rens, was the first player to split the cords, sending a whistle-like shot thru the cords after about two minutes of cautious passing on the part of both quints. Barry, of the Celtics, matched this with another doubleiecker. A short while after this, Mayers fell, hurting his ankle and the game was temporarily halted until the injured player was able to move about again. By half time the Rens were leading by a 14-10 score. The clever little forward, Banks had accounted for five of these points via the foul route. In the entire game he made 8 of ten attempts from the foul line. The second half found the Renaissance tossers fighting desperately to keep their advantage and after a goal by Beckman, of the Shamrocks, Saitch and Billy Yancey tallied once each from the floor, and when Slocum sank another basket, "Nat" Holman, who had been on the sidelines in the first half, because of a heavy cold, was sent into the fray and at the same time "Fats" Jenkins went in for the Renaissance team. Bens Lose Lead With two and one-half minutes to play, the Rens, leading by one point, saw their advantage slip when Banks looped a shot from beneath the basket, having slipped away unguarded. When a foul was called on Dehnert, Ricks missed the chance to ecome a hero by shooting short of the basket. The Celtics then began to freeze the sphere when a double foul was called or Lopschick and Yancey. Both players missed. A few seconds later Banks slipped away unguarded to sink the goal that cinched the game. Banks High Scorer Lopschick, of the Celtics, consistently outjumped Cooper, but Cooper used his weight to advantage in wearing down his opponent. Banks, diminutive forward of the Celtics, was high scorer with 12 points, while Slocum with six, was runner-up. All question of world supremacy was done THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1929 JIM BROWN CHOSEN TO LEAD CHICAGO GIANTS CHICAGO—Jim Brown, who came to the Chicago American Giants baseball team several years ago from Texas, has been named as captain of the local team to succeed Dave Mallarcher, who failed to sign a Giant contract when he was unable to make owner Trimble of the Giants, come to his terms.

MANY TEAMS IN P.A.L BASEBALL LEAGUE MANY TEAMS IN P.A.L BASEBALL LEAGUE Jackson Picks "All-City" Basketball Quint With entries of 60 teams representing 21 grammar schools, and with entries of 12 teams from the junior high schools of the city, the Playground Athletic League school baseball season looms as the largest to be witnessed here. The closing of the recent school basketball series has brought forth a selection of "All-City" teams by Clarence C. Jackson, P.A.L. worker, who was in charge of the tournament. Mr. Jackson's seleftions follow: Junior Lightweight Hudson of Dunbar was an outstanding player and scored 76 points in 7 games. He played only one full game and is all that a forward should be. Selection—Fowards: Hudson, Lee, Dunbar; center, Cornick, Dunbar; guards: Moss, Douglass; Lewis, Dunbar. Honorable Mention: Hutchinson of Vocational; Dyson, Douglass. Junior Heavyweight Lemmons of Dunbar and Moore of Douglass share first honors at forward. Lemmons contributed liberally to Dunbar's score, while Moore, playing guard, was the whole Douglass team. Selections — Forwards: Lemmons and Jones, Dunbar; Carter, Neal, of Dunbar; guards: Moore, Douglass, and Barber Dunbar. Honorable mention: Frazier, B. T. Washington; Gross, Vocational; and Wormley, Dunbar. Senior Evening League Spencer of the Ymcas and Newton of the Danzettas played an exceptionally fine brand of basketball and both led strong teams. Should they combine, they would be hard to defeat. Forwards: Spencer, Ymcas, and Gibson of Donzettas; center: Newton, Douglass; guards: Dorsey and Jones, Ymcas. Honorable mention: Morris, Unknowns; Waters, Big Five; Tucker, Ymcas. N. C. College, 9; Va. State, 8 PETERSBURG, Va. — Wreaking vengeance sweet upon their last year rivals, the N. C. College Eagles handed a trimming to the fast Virginia State nine of Petersburg, Easter Monday, in a game replete with thrills which ended with a 9-8 score. Vinson, veteran pitcher for the Eagles, carried the fight into the enemy's camp, winning his own game by striking out eight, and lambasting the horsehide for two triples and a home-run.

PREDICT CLOSE RACE John Carroll and Edgar Lee Loom as Favorites. Entries for the fifth annual Health Week marathon, which will be run through the streets of Baltimore Saturday, April 27, will close at 12, noon, this Saturday, April 20. Members of the committee handling the race feel that this year's entry list will surpass any in the history of the marathon and already entries have been received from Richmond, Washington and other cities in Virginia and Maryland. Edgar Lee, Armstrong High School athlete of Washington, who won the race last year and who more recently won the marathon held in Richmond, Va., will find competition keener this year and John Carroll, winner of two legs on the marathon trophy, is expecting to cop victory and permanent possession of the trophy in the race to be run two weeks hence. In the four marathons to date, 285 have sent in entries for this race and 200 have actually competed. Complaints Negotiator So efficiently have the details of this race been handled that not one of these boys has t anytime complained, about the arrangements. There have been but two protests made to the judges, one of these in the first year in connection with the irregular registration of one of the relay teams, which protest was allowed, and the other was in 1927 when one boy claimed that he had been tipped by another competitor. This protest was disallowed. Donors of Prizes The Royal theatre trophy, for the winning individual and the Regent theatre trophy, for the winning team, will again be presented, as will the Marse Calloway cup for the runner who breaks the course record of 20 minutes, 15 3-5 seconds, set by John Carroll. The AFRO-AMERICAN is awarding a gold medal, while the Castleberg Jewelry Company, will donate a silver medal. Bronze medals will be given by the Herald-Commonwealth Company, My Barber Shop, Druid Laundry, American Bottling Company, Willard W. Allen and Ernest Brooks. The Passing Review BY BILL GIBSON TWILL BE NO CINCH, whatever team wins the rag in the first half of the American Baseball League pennant race, take it from this maniac. Say what you will, but the teams are more evenly matched than some dopesters would have you believe. A number of optimists have already picked the Baltimore Black Sox to cop the bunting, but not so, if other managers are to have their say. Ben Taylor has no slouchy clan down on the shore, and the crafty mentor admitted to this col. conductor that he has the best pitching staff of any club in the East. Farrell, Shields, Gardner, and Lockhart compare favorably with the moundsmen of any other clubs, so will no doubt agree. The Lincoln Giants and the Homestead Grays, we believe, will have the weakest pitching staff this season. We believe the Black Sox have the best infield; the Bee-Giants have the best pitching staff (and we're not overlooking Yokely, Ryan, and Big Jess Hubbard of the Sox); and we also believe that we will have to concede the honor of having the best outfield to the Atlantic City team. Hilldale, despite its many trades, appears on paper to have the greatest hitting strength of any club in the East. Take a look at Oscar Charleston, "Bizz" Mackey, Holloway, Jackson, Dallier, Diligio, Lewis and Judy Johnson. You may, and in all probity should, disagree with us in these matters. If the Black Sox are able to get their mits on the boy Craddock from North Carolina, and IF he lives up to his advance notices, the Black Sox outfield will be greatly strengthened, allowing Jess Hubbard more time for mound duty. Certainly the Black Sox, on paper, seem to have a slight edge over even their closest rival. From rumblings coming out from Darby way and from some sections of the Quaker City, it appears that there are some fans who do not think the Hilldale trades made by Ed Bolden, are for the best interests of the club. There have been some loud and pronounced squawks and we've even heard that there has been a written protest against the dropping of Ott Briggs. Bolden is no dummy, from what we know of him, and we will be willing to water our red flannels that the Daisies won't finish nearly as badly as some of the whiners would make themselves believe. Some sour notes are to be expected from all sectors whenever changes are made. By the time the season gets under way, they are lost in the shouting. George Rossiter informed us that Yokely is chafing at the bit down in Salisbury, N. C., and is anxious to join the local league entry. If plans go right, he will be chosen to fill the assignment when the lid is lifted here April 28. With Yokely and Hayes on hand, the Sox will have six pitchers on the staff. Gomez, the Cuban catcher, joined the locals last week. Fitzhugh, a rookie who tried, out as a moundsman with the Black Sox two weeks ago, has been given his release. And you'll listen to us the are is to fall again scon. "Scrappy" Brown will not be with the locals this year and there are one or two others who are 'way out on the limb. THE CURTAIN WAS LOWERED on basketball in this city last Saturday night, when the Renaissance basketeteers dropped a close contest to the Original Celtics, white. Less than 1,000 fans turned out to see the contest, and shortly before game time it began to rain. One-third of the fans at the game were white and the admission price was $1.00. In New York 10,000 fans paid $1.00 and $1.50 to see the two teams clash. The comparison between the two towns is almost odious, yet it does seem that for an attraction of its size, a larger crowd would have been present. ...Almost 2,000 persons saw the Rens agent Morgan at the New Albert. The admission was 75 cents. Was the price prohibitive at the Celtic game? Was it because it was SATURDAY night that many stayed away, or was it because there was a feeling that the contest between the two teams had been need. Possibly all of these factors entered into keeping the attendance level down. Last fall promoters of big white football games rent their garments and tore their hair when the Monumental City populace chose to sit at home by the radio and hear the account of the contests. Boxing promoters have learned their lesson here and give up the business as a bad job. Basketball promoters had a convincing demonstration of Baltimore's home-loving inclinations. Our only solution to the problem is, to have no admission charge, but to charge the patrons to get out. Maybe that would work. THOSE WHO WOULD CRITICIZE the holding of a national basketball tournament for race high schools might do well to read what the National Association of Basketball Coaches has had to say in reference to the action of the National Federation of High School Athletic Associations, forbidding any of its thirty-one State members from participating after this year, in the University of Chicago tournament. The coaches would continue the tournament at the University of Chicago not only as a clearing house for various types of play and for the educational benefit it furnishes competing teams, but as a research library to test the effect of the different styles of play on the athletes. Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the game, will probably head a committee appointed to make research in testing the effects of basketball on the average student. Dr. Naismith last year conducted an investigation which showed the average high school basketball player was in better physical condition after the fourth game of a tournament than he was at the conclusion of the first contest. If the decision of the coaches is approved by the Olympic committee, basketball will be installed as one of the sports in the 1932 Olympic games at Los Angeles. Judging from the brand of basketball played in some of our race schools and in some of the mixed schools, this should mean another opportunity for race athletes to show their wares to the world. IT WAS TOO BAD that the Chocolate-Graham fight in New York last Friday night could not be carried the full 15 rounds. Although some white writers will say that Graham was far in front when the bout was stopped on a foul, we would like to ask those same writers why Graham, if he were winning, would repeatedly commit an act, after several warnings, knowing that the act would cost him a victory. We were rooting for Chocolate, as might be expected, and we are glad that his record is still unmarred by a defeat, but we would much rather have seen the contest go the limit. Even if Graham were in front, is it not possible, that facing the possibility of eight more rounds, he saw and felt himself weakening? Even if he had won all seven rounds, there was the margin of one round left for Chocolate if the bout had been extended the limit. While the bout was a non-title one, this paragrapher feels that Chocolate, as much as any one, is worthy of wearing the bantam crown. If there are fighters to dispute his claim, then let them come forward and arrange to settle the matter in the ring. If Chocolate wins, all well and good—if he loses, then the question has been decided just the same. We are anxious to see the other claimants come out of their hiding. BOWLING NEWS THE AFRO-AMERICAN.

The orange and blue chalked up blanks for three innings and with two gone in the fourth, hits by Tate, Johnson and Hamilton started a rally that netted two runs. Dunlap hammered out a homer in the fifth. Scott on, while a base on balls and two infield outs sent in the fifth score in the sixth. Noteworthy playing was contributed by Burton, diminutive Manchester, left fielder, Catcher Contee, and J. Henderson for Manchester, and Scott and Fountain for Armstrong.

PRE The REMAT WIDO The PREMATURE WIDOW Boy, I tell you, she's . Lice girl. That fellow's got a mighty good wife. No 'count scamp. He's made her see a hard time." "You're right. Sam," sanctioned Hayes, wiping off the counter. "Her father died just last month. Old man Porter was a hard worker, too. Worked himself to death." "But he didn't have much sense," said Thomas. "If he'd a-done the right thing, he'd a-sent that girl to high school 'stead of lettin' her go to work. He done the wrong thing when he let her stop in this here public school. I'd much rather seed her with a education than some of these high-toned gals that's got it. They's so fine they can't walk down Main street right. This here Ruby would a-been sompen if she'd a-had they chance." "Yes, Sam, you're about, right, drawled Hayes. "She finished grammar school in the same class with me. I went to high school and she went to Suffolk to push white folks' baby carriages—and got married for good measure." "One thing," added Thomas. "she had never been away from home before. Suffolk is a pretty rapid 'own for greenhorns. I know for myself. How long did they stay together?" "About two months," said Hayes. MEAN TREATMENT "That's what I thought. They tell me he kept hauling her around from one roomin' place to another and then hauled off and left her. Tell me he didn't treat her very good neither." "I wouldn't like to tell you the way he did treat her," said Hayes. "Mr. Porter, himself, told me all of it." 'Where's her husband now? Anybody know?' "They only heard from him twice, Ruby told me, and that was through someone who saw him in Washington. He never would work, you know. Gambles—and they say he's a rotten gambler. The last they heard of him, he was talking of jumping into the Potomac river. Swore he didn't want to hear of any wife." "By the way, 'tis about four years since she went to Suffolk, ain't it?" "Just about," answered Hayes. "She wasn't but 16 then." "And she's working up here at old lady Hullman's. I know they don't pay here nothing much. Them's the stingiest white people in Smithfield." "Yes. Sam. she's seeing a tough time of it. Mrs. Porter is an invalid you'd might as well say and there's a house full of little children—five of them and not one large enough to take care of itself." "I certainly would lak to help Ruby," declared Thomas. "and nearly everybody else in town would do her, most any favor." "I would, too," declared Hayes. "The problem is how. She's married and she has a lot of old fashioned pride whether you know it or not." "Don't charge her for the cream and stuff she gets here." "That's very little. Sam." laughed Haves. "and she won't let me do that." (By MERTON J. CRAWLEY) "Oh, Douglas, this cream is just fine!" declared Ruby Withers, a flash of frankness in her lovely eyes and a note of care-free simplicity in her tone. That care-free manner was always with Ruby Withers, augmented with a stark loveliness that eclipsed the down-right shabbiness of her clothes. "Do you like it Ruby?" asked the whitecoated figure behind the counter. "It's a new brand I'm trying out, so tell me if it meets the requirements." "It's fine and I'm not joking," confirmed the girl, whirling around on the stool with each spoonful of cream. "Of course it should be," said Douglas Hayes. "Didn't I serve it?" "Oh, I hadn't thought of that," laughed the girl. "But what has your serving it got to do with it?" "Girl, we don't keep anything except good things here," he replied, leaning on the counter before her. "And you're on the list?" "That's right, Ruby," he laughed. "The bees don't know there's honey here." "I'm one bee who knows it," she smiled her dark-brown face radiating sunshine THOMAS SPEAKS UP THOMAS SPEAKS UP "Here! You all is gittin' mighty thick over there," spoke an overailed individual seated at one of the tables. "Member, Hayes, that there's a married lady. I ain't goin' to have that." "Oh, you go on, Sam Thomas," scoffed Hayes in pretended disgust, "I had just as well not be married," put in Ruby, opening her purse to pay for the cream. "I hardly know that I ever had a husband." "What, don't you know where he is?" pursued Sam Thomas, brushing ciger ashes from his overalls "No. and I don't care." she answered with that care-free air. "I see," remarked Thomas. "Don't you ever hear from him?" The girl shook her head in the negative. "I don't want to hear from him. He's better off dead." "You oughtn't talk lak that, child," was Thomas, mild reproval. "But that ain't no sign Hayes can make love to you." "Man. I'm not making love to anyone. Sam," protested Hayes. "Seem lak you doin' sompen sorta lak that." "Give me my change and let me go. Doug." said Rubv. "Mr. Thomas has started and Mommer is laying me out right now I know." "Oh, sure!' and Hayes made a rush for the cash register. Receiving her change, Rubv jumped down from the stool, patted her pretty, heavy, black hair, and went out into the late spring afternoon. "I'll come in again when Mr. Thomas isn't here," she threw back over her shoulder, and with that she was gone. A NICE GIRL. "Do you know, Hayes, she' a mighty nice girl" was Thomas, repark. "Who? Ruby? You're right," agreed Kayes. "Everybody laks 'her.' went on Thomas. "One thing, she don't turn up her nose at nobody. Jes' cause you ain't in her class, she ain't always throwing it in vo' face. She Jes' sunshine everywhere she goes. --- THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1929 SORRY FOR HER No one knew how sorry Douglas Hayes was for Rudy Porter Withers. He had watched her day in and day out, as she passed his establishment, going to and from her service place. Never could he see anything in her other than a pure, lovely, unfortunate girl of 20. She came into his place often and always she seemed care-free in spirit, completely concealing her troubles from others. But the golden - complexioned roudnsh-faced - young man behind the counter could see deeper. Occasionally his conversation with Ruby would lead to her unfortunate marriage and gradually she seemed to let him in on the deepest secret of it. He often wondered how many others she had told that much—how she met Marcus Withers, married him and how they moved from place to place. How he mistreated her and dragged her about! How, after he had gone, she waited in poverty for his return, and she only returned to Smithfield when it was certain that her husband of two months had deserted her. This concern on Hayes' part was satisfied one evening when she came in for a soda. "Do you know, Doug," she said, sucking the beverage thru a straw. "I believe I'll tell you everything. Somehow. I like to tell you things, tho. I don't tell everyone my troubles. But you——" "Well," smiled Hayes, "I guess that's because we've known each other all of our lives. Do you remember when you used to ride on my back? I'd get mad and pull your hair. You caused me to get many a thrashing. Do you remember the time you pushed me into the river? It wasn't deep, but I got all wet and you cried all day." THE BEST OLD TIMES "Do I?" laughed the lovely Ruby, whirling around on the stool. "They were the best old times. Seems like yesterday. That's why you seem more like one of my brothers than anything else." "I would gladly live those days over, Ruby. I've forgotten how you look when you cry." "Oh, you want to see me cry! Douglas Hayes, you won't do!" "Remember, I'd have to get ducked in the river again to complete the picture." "But I wish it was so I could live my life over. Maybe I'd have some sense. I've worried Mommer something awful. The idea of marrying at sixteen!" "The wife premature, eh?" "I guess so, whatever that is." "Everyone makes mistakes, girl." "Everyone makes mistakes, girl." That was not what he wanted to say, but it was the best thing he could think of. They were silent. Presently she asked: "Is that today's paper there? Let me see it." "What are you going to do with it?" asked Hayes, handing her the morning paper. "Oh. I want to look at the funny pictures," she replied. "I think 'Bill and Ike' are the funniest things go- ing. Bill is just like you and—Oh this is too bad! The body of a colored man was found floating in the lower Chesapeake bay. I feel for the poor man, but I can't reach him.' She continued to lead in silence. Suddenly her eyes widened into a look of dismay. The paper fell from her hands as she covered her face with them and sank to the marble counter. The half-emptied glass crashed to the floor. "What is it, Ruby—ill?" asked the excited Hayes, rushing around the end of the counter to her side. By the time he had reache her she had recovered enough to reach for the paper where it lay on the counter. Her tearful eyes found an item and she pointed it out to him. What Hayes saw was the usual account of a body being found floating in the bay. He read the item thru. In part it read thus: "The body had been in the water for some time and was beyond recognition. The only possible identification marks was the name Marcus Withers and the label of a Suffolk (Va.) clothing store." Already in black for her beloved father, Ruby Porter Withers realized herself a widow. And that was another shock to Ruby's life; but, after it was over, she felt better and freer. Again she went daily past Hayes' little saloon, occasionally stopping for refreshments. Hayes now felt more at liberty to offer her aid in her struggle to support the Porter family, and once or twice he broached the subject, but always she refused to listen. He offered her employment and she refused that, declaring that it would not be wise for her to work for him. The roads were excellent and the big roadster soon covered the twenty-five miles. At last he came in sight of the town with its sleepy waterfront and warehouses in the foreground. A BLOWOUT Suddenly there was a loud report. With an exclamation of disgust Hayes brought the car to a standstill at the edge of the highway, climbed to the ground, lit a cigaret and then surveyed the wrecked tire. "A brand-new tire," he muttered. "I must have driven over a thousand razors for it to play out on inc like that." "Mister. I thought it was somebody shooting," said a childish voice be- "Oh, Douglas! This cream is just fine," declared Ruby. . . A flash of frankness in her lovely eyes and a note of carefree simplicity in her tone. T hind Hayes. He turned that wa, and beheld a brown urchin of about twelve. Across the field, four other children were making frantic efforts to get to the stranded vehicle. "Why, hello, Bruce!" Hayes smiled to the boy. "Yes, Bruce, I've had bad luck. How's mama?" "Oh, 'tis you, Mr. Hayes! Mom is about the same." Hayes had just realized that the tire had played out near Ruby's home and these little children were her brothers and sisters. They stood around and watched him change the tire. Bruce, the eldest, helped him. On the face of each of the children was a wistful, drawn look and their clothing was far from new, but it was neatly patched and clean. Hayes felt unusually sorry for them. When the tire was finished he tendered Bruce a dollar note, with the instructions to treat his little brothers and sisters. At ten o'clock that night, his closing time, Hayes drifted slowly home in his high-powered roadster. It was a warm summer night—the kind of a night that makes you want to get out and go. But Hayes had decided it was far too late to go anywhere. For some reason the wistful faces of Ruby's brothers and sisters flitted before his vision. Yes, and the sunshiny face of Ruby herself haunted him. How well she defied the strife that would destroy her. A BEAUTIFUL HOME Douglas Hayes lived in a little brick bungalow at the far end of the town. He was a lover of beauty and charm, as could be seen in the moonlight by the architecture of the dwelling and the unique arrangement of the lawn and garden. Two years ago his father had died, leaving him a tidy inheritance. Hayes was not wealthy, but prosperous and promising. All of this he enjoyed alone. In the little library he turned on the reading lamp and glanced about. All was neat and tidy. The woman who cleaned for him had been there during the day. He smiled a smile of satisfaction and settled in his favorite chair for an hour with the evening paper. But he found that he could not read. His thoughts kept drifting back to those five poverty-stricken little children and unfortunate Ruby, all too proud to call help to their leaking ship of existence. Yes, he was blessed with plenty and none to share it with. How he lounged to lighten the burden of the Porters. But Ruby scrusted his help, so what could he do? End of first installment.

"Good afternoon, Jimmy. How are you?" said Mrs Deselm smiling at my neighbor's small son as he hurried into the room, just home from school. Jimmy stood silent, fidgeting. "Jim." the mother coaxed, "speak to Mrs Deselm. And take off your hat!" The child grabbed for his hat and gulped. "Helle!" The mother gave an embarrassed little giggle, while immy hurried from the room, his face scarlet. "Oh dear," the mother sighed impatiently. "his manners are atrocious. I don't know what to do with him!" As Mrs. Deselm and I walked toward home, she said, "Harking back to Jimmy's manners: it isn't his fault that he is self-conscious and at a loss what to do and say.

Nature does not intend that any woman should be childless. When she is, it is usually due to some weakness or disorder of the organs of reproduction. When these organs are properly toned up, invigorated and helped to function properly, the blessings of motherhood may be realized. Many women are now praising a remarkable new treatment called Gon-Tope and expressing their gratitude for what it has done for them. Intended as an aid in revitalizing the organs of reproduction, many report also that it helped to relieve many of the alliances common to women, such as bearing-down and periodical pains, sin, and aids them to lead happier and more companionable lives. To test this new treatment, simply send name to Hamilton Products Co., $20 American Bank Hldg., Kansas City, Mo., and when your treatment arrives pay postman $2.00, plus few cents postage. This reliable company agrees to refund the $2.00 if you are not satisfied. You should not hesitate in accepting their generous offer.—Adv.

Well, of course there is nothing to remember; for she probably doesn't mention manners any other time. Besides, there shouldn't be any best manners for special times. There should always be good manners for all times." "My dear, you have four such charming, always-at-ease children!" I exclaimed. "Their manners are delightful." "Well, you see, Daddy and I seldom mention manners. We try our best to be courteous and polite at all times, believing children learn more from example than by so much 'telling.'

"I've made it a point to have them come into the room, for a few minutes, and speak to my guests, every time I entertain. And when they make mistakes, as poor Jimmy did today, I never laugh at them. That would make them self-conscious and unwilling to 'try again.' "My third son has had more difficulty than the other children, because he is naturally diffident and rather awkward.

If you are run-down, weak and deficient—finding life and its pleasures dull—you may only need the help of a good tonic to build up energy and strength.

SHERIDAN BRUSEAUX Sheridan Alexander Bruscaux, head of the Keystone National Detective Chicago, will be thirty-nine years old Friday, April 26. He was born in Little Rock. Ark.. in 1890 and educated at Arkansas Baptist College and received his L.L.D. (honorary) degree from the University Agency, Inc., with headquarters in city of Minnesota in 1914. He married Miss Ethel Sewell in the year 1923. During the World War.

He is now engaged in a probe of Elk finances. DO YOU KNOW? Which is correct, Haiti or Santo Domingo? There is a difference of opinion as to whether the West Indian Island which comprises the two countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic should be called Haiti or Santo Domingo. The Pan-American Union says Santo Domingo is the correct name of the island. On the other hand, the U. S. Geographic Board inclines toward Haiti. That authority says on this subject: "Haiti was the native name of the island when Columbus landed, on December 6, 1492, and called it Espagnola, which was Latinized into Hispaniola. The French colony which gained control of a part of the island was called Saint Domingue, and in 1795, when France acquired title to the entire island by treaty with Spain it was called Saint Domingue; but when the French were driven out and independence declared in 1804. the aboriginal name Haiti was revived by the Negroes. Shortly after this the Spaniards re-established themselves in the eastern part of the island, retaining the French name modified to Santo Domingo, but in 1821 lost control, and from 1822 to 1843 the whole island was under the government as the Republic of Haiti. In 1844 the eastern portion of the island again asserted its independence of Haiti and established the Dominican Republic, which remains to the present day. Thus today the island of Haiti, which seems to be the proper name, consists of two countries, Haiti on the west end and Dominican Republic on the east end."

Poem This Week WHY I TEACH Because I would be young in soul and mind, Though years must pass and age my life constrain. And I have found no way to lay behind The fleeting years save by the magic chain That bind me, youthful to the youth I love. I teach. Because I would be wise and wisdom find, From millions gone before whose torch I pass Still burning bright to light the path that wind So steep and rugged for each lad and less. Slow climbing to the unrevealed above. I teach. Because in passing on the living flame. That ever brighter burns the ages thru. Can I but say. "The flame of knowledge grew" A little brighter in the hand I taught. I teach.

Alas, my heart was heavy and I seemed destined to be an old maid. And then—a miracle happened! An aunt of mine, knowing my trouble, bought me some Golden Brown Beauty Ointment.

Samory, Greatest African General The King of the Soudan, with 28,000 picked black men, kept French out of his country for 18 years. Gunpowder and modern weapons alone brought defeat to brave Neroes who charged with spears into the cannons' mouths. By J. A. ROGERS Samory, West African conqueror, was born at Bissandougou in the Valley of the Niger in 1830. He defied the power of France for eighteen years with such great skill that the French commanders cut of sheer admiration for his genius dubbed him "The Black Napoleon of the Soudan."

FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER were some who won great distinction in the last war, like Marshal Joffre and Gen. Gallicni. Again and again Samory defeated the forces sent against him, and several times France was compelled to make treaties with him. Samory, like many other great men, began life in the humblest circumstances. He was the son of a poor black merchant and a female Beauty lexion ays D PALMER'S KIN TENER' slave. One day a neighboring tribe swooped down on Samory's tribe, killing many and capturing others. SAMORY TAKEN CAPTIVi Among the latter was Samory, who became a slave of his captors. who became a slave of his captors. But a bold and ambitious man even though a slave, does not remain down. Besides Samory was a giant in strength and size. No one in all West Africa could throw a spear with such unerring skill as he. At eighteen he escaped and killing his pursuers, went to the King of Torondo and offered him his services. The king, struck by his splendid physique and military bearing, at once made him one of his bodyguard. But Samory's success with his new patron did not end there. He at once set about 'earning Arabic and soon after rose to the rank of counsellor. Continuing his upward career he went on until he stood next to the king. Then one day he quarreled with the king and decided to return to his native Bissandougou. He was now wealthy, and soon after his arrival there was named chief of his tribe. ANNEXED ENEMY LAND Finding himself at last with supreme power in his hands, Samory decided to gratify his lust for conquest, and making war on the neighboring chiefs, killed them all and annexed their lands. Continuing his march north-eastwardly along the banks of the Niger he succeeded in conquering all the region east of Sierra Leone to the buckle of the Niger, and well up into the Upper Niger—a territory of several hundred thousand square miles. Among those who fell under Samory's invincible march was his former benefactor, the King of Torondo. Like Napolean, Genghis Khan, and other great conquerors, Samory was ruthless and allowed nothing to stand in his path. He was now the most powerful native king in all Africa. Early in life he had become a Mohammedan, and ignoring the title o. king or emperor, he called himself "Commander of the Faithful." As he swept onward in his victorious march he gave the conquered the alternative of accepting the Koran (Mohammedan Bible), or being butchered. Samory was now at the height of his power. But he was to meet an obstacle greater than the sum of all those he had encountered. Quite unknown to him his empire of Our-soulou had changed lands, England, Belgium, Germany and Portugal, sitting in conference had awarded his lands to France. The first knowledge Samory had of this was while besieging the town of Keniera, in the Upper Niger. A black sergeant in French uniform came to him with an order from the French commander to discontinue the siege. Amazed at the man's importinence, Samory ordered him seized and held for torture. Escaping, the sergeant found his way back to camp. The prestige of France had to be upheld, and then began a war with Samory that lasted until 1898. Armed with the latest weapons the French started after Samory. When they arrived at Keniera, however, he had already captured it, and was in retreat. This retreat, however, was only strategy; for, awaiting the French in a favorable spot, he attacked them. WINS GREAT BATTLE The battle lasted over a week. In the first three days the French, armed with the latest artillery, were victorious. But when their ammunition was exhausted Samory attacked them with his spears and forced them to retreat. Samory's warriors had only a few modern rifles that he had got by 27 For the next five years the war went on, with success now on Samory's side; now or, that of the French. Samory, however, had the upper hand. France's ambition was to keep a straight overland route from the French Congo through her North African possessions to France, and Samory sweeping on the caravans, made ths. impossible. France finally asked a treaty with him; which was signed in 1886. His favorite son, Karamook, was given as a pledge. Another treaty followed in 1887. By this treaty Samory was given all the territory on the left bank of the Niger. But no sooner was the treaty concluded than the French began to fortify the right bank of the river. INCITES CHIEFS His suspicions aroused, Samory began to incite the native chiefs to rebel, and after another treaty had been made, war broke out again in 1891. The French now decided to attack him in force. Defeating ally after ally of his, the French met up with Samory at Kokouna. Samory's force consisted of 30,000 men armed with spears, 10,000 rifles and two small cannons, as well as 2,000 cavalry. The French, armed with modern artillery, repulsed him, and drove him from his capital, Bissandougou. He was, however, far from being beaten. He gave battle for the next fifteen days, and again the French were compelled to make a tretty with him. By this agreement he was permitted to continue his empire towards the south, whither he went, making many new conquests and building a new empire. Some time later a French expedition, under the noted Capt. Marchand, narrowly escaped capture at his hands. In spite of the treaty Samory was never satisfied at seeing the white man on territory that he believed was his, and once more he descended on the caravans. Again France declared war on him, and again after a fierce struggle—his spears against the cannons of the French, he was forced to retreat with his army of 29,000 men. Accompanying him were 120,000 women, children and captives with 20,000 cattle. The French had now decided to wine out his power once for all. They pressed the fight and for the next year the struggle lasted with Samory retreating the greater part of the time. But in this also he showed his skill. One of his opponents. Commandant de Lartigue, says in his book: "One cannot help but admire from a military point of view his preelection, the minute care with which Samory conducted this retreat and with what zeal his orders were executed by his generals." Among the latter were two of his sons, one of which, Saranke Morv, was his heir. His favorite son, Karamoko, was in the meanwhile chained in a hut, and given barely enough food to keep him alive. Karamoko, after being shown a review of the French army in Paris, had been sent back to tell his father what he had seen. Meeting with his father he told him of the strength of the French army and advised him to surrender, saving he could never hone to overcome a force so great. But Samory instead of following his advice, made him a prisoner. "Were they so strong as you saw," than has a raving beauty with a bad temper. The beauty will win his eye for a moment, but not his heart for- But pressed by a superior force one must yield sooner or later. The end came in 1898, brought about as much by domestic strife as by age and the strength of the enemy. Samory had 300 wives, and the Viennese Society Dentist Thrills Europe With Queer New Kind of Dentifrice A Great African General (Continued From Preceding Page) favorite among them, a very young woman, was accused of infidelity with Saranke Mory. Threatened with torture by his father, Saranke Mory fled, throwing disorder into the ranks. In the meantime the French were drawing nearer and nearer. A few days after Saranke Mory's flight, Samory retired a little way into the woods to read the Koran, as was his daily custom. While there alone and unarmed, a black scout in the French army and a white sergeant crept upon him as he knelt at prayer, and made him a prisoner. But the alarm had been given; his men had rushed to his rescue, and the two armies stood facing each other for a last struggle. Worn, however, with fifty-five years of ceaseless warfare Samory, seeing but the useless slaughter of his brave men, gave the sign not to fight. Led away he was imprisoned the little village of Njole in the Congo, where he died the following year of consumption at the age of sixty-nine. GREAT STRATEGIST Le Grande Encyclopedia (French) says of him in part: says of him in part. "Samory, great Negro potentate, who disputed for a long time with France for possession of the Souden "Handsome, of splendid height, very intelligent, very cunning and extremely brave.

Makes Teeth 4 Shades Whiter In 4 Days VIENNA, Paris, London-all of Europe-is thrilled and amazed by the new beauty fame suddenly won by Viennese society women. Had an actual miracle really happened to accomplish such almost magic beauty transformation? Then the dramatic truth was revealed. The secret is in the strange new sparkle and new snowy-whiteness of their teeth. For the society dentist of Vienna had been especially appointed by Vienna's beauties to perform some miracle to make their teeth the whitest, most brilliant teeth in the world. Now this strange new dentifrice, called Senreco, is available to Americans, too. Almost like magic the dullest teeth sparkle with new whiteness and charm. From the very first brushing you see amazing new tooth beauty. In just four days this queer new dentifrice actually makes teeth 4 shades whiter—a transformation almost beyond belief. Yet it contains nothing that can possibly injure the gums or enamel. It is a dentist's formula. Now Senreco is available at all leading drug and department stores. Guaranteed To Make Your Teeth 4 Shades Whiter in 4 Days or It Costs You Nothing "Having thus struggled very cleverly against Borgin - Debordes, Combes, Hujbert, Archinbaud, Boxnier, and others, and after having lost his capital, Bissandougou in 1891, he abandoned the Niger which he had depopulated. "From here he went towards the east in the country of Kong in the region of the rivers. Here he built a new empire from which he was driven by France in 1898." Like most great military leaders Samory relied almost as much on strategy as on force. He had a method of frightening the enemy that was highly original. With him always was an orchestra of about one hundred pieces composed of drums, cornets, flutes, fifes, whistles, tomtoms, and other contrivances. During a battle he would set this orchestra to making a din that sounded like the shouting of victorious warriors mingled with the groans and cries of the dying and defeated. This scheme never failed to dishearten the enemy who very often could not see all that their own men were doing in the woods. LIKENED TO NAPOLEON Samory has been likened to Napoleon. Had he been born in Europe with its superior environment who knows but that his name might not have been handed down as one of the greatest military leaders of all times? Genius, however great, cannot rise higher than its tools. Samory did the utmost with such tools as he had In any case, had his men been more evenly armed there would have been quite a different story to tell. Julia Jerome We have a letter this week from New Orleans, La.. that would have stumped Solomon: "My Dear Mrs. Jerome: I am a young girl in love with a boy one year older than myself. I love him with all my heart, but he is in love with a girl friend of mine: He loved me once and still holds long conversations with me on love, but that is all. How can I win him back for myself without breaking my girl friend's heart?—An Honest Lover." Well, I think the answer to this is—how did you lose him in the first place? Did you lose him by being quarrelsome? Or by being dull? Or by being flirtatious? It must have been one of the three. So whichever one of these faults you had, correct it. That will be your first step. If you hold long conversations with him on love, he must still find you interesting. And a girl can win any man whom she interests if she tries. She can do this by making herself good to look at; by keeping her room where she entertains him clean, comfortable and colorful; by showing an interest in his affairs and by not showing a tendency to pry into things which he does not wish her to know. A plain girl who has charm, serenity and liveliness has more chance to win and keep a man ever. A lot of men, of course, are - NOTE! - Mr. J. A.

They are the children of careful mothers who have chosen the finest bread by test. A blaze of social brilliancy gave an eyeful to the on-looker entering Elks' Hall on last Friday evening, when the Who But Us Club (a bevy of pretty girls) were hostesses at a beautiful dance to their many friends. Lovely palms tastefully arranged along the orchestra stage and stationed at intervals around the hall, added to the picturesque scene and furnished the decorations for the evening. Enticing music—grand and glorious music of the latest dance hits, lured the merry couples on as they glided around the hall in time with Irving Hughes' Southernners, playing continuously the entire evening. A gorgeous array of colorful gowns of lace, chiffons, velvets, and satins, gave glint to many an envying eye. Just a comfortable number of guests were invited—a jolly bunch of old friends—a pleasant and unusual social gathering due to the foresight of the cordial hostesses who planned this most brilliant and enjoyable event. Dutch suppers-waffle breakfast and light refreshments were given at the homes of a number of guests after the dance. Edward Wilson Geo. F.

Pansy, dear:— If we didn't know exactly the seasons of the year, we surely would have spring and winter all mixed up from the conditions here yesterday and today. Previous to this week, the thinnest of dresses weren't cool enough. Yet the months are moving rapidly by and mid-summer will be right here before we have a chance to get any wear out of our smart looking Easter ensembles and spring outfits. sometimes. However, the weather hasn't interfered with Dan Cupid's arrangements for pulling two and two together: Helen Galen and Irving Hughes, for instance. I am told that their wedding day has been set for the first part of May. A shower, will be given in honor of Helen next Wednesday at Pythian Castle. Mary Ellen Cooper is doing the honors, so I hear. Cupid's darts, so rumor has it, have also pierced Carrie Dorsey, a senior of Morgan College, but according to members of the family, Carrie depletes the rumor. What's puzzling us really, is how could Kenneth be at the Who But Us formal dance on last Friday and Bernice figuring him being elsewhere? ? At the same affair, Mary V. Cook, who seems to vamp all of the male folks somehow, was attired in a low-cut v-back gown and was put down as the Greta Garbo of the affair. From the way she so contentedly laid her head on the shoulders of her noble knight, she seemed pleased at her admiration. Katherine Connor, by the way, looks just so good at the wheels of her new calen has a too bad radio. M. my. we are missing Freddie here of among the social functions—the doctor puts in his appearance. We spied Helen and John coming in together at the Adelphian dance. Hope that means good news The last time we heard from Gus he said that if Esther will reconsider things, he will marry and settle down. Not a bad idea. Gus?

I am a man 71 years of age and after being laid up for over two years I want to say that I owe Prescription Q-623 my highest praise as it fixed it so I can walk and work.

Anita Entertains Bon Tons Anita Thomas, when she gives anything, always plans weeks ahead — hence her prizes are original, her plans of entertaining up to the minute, and her guests on time. So on last Wednesday evening, when she was hostess to the Bort Tons, everything worked in apple pie order. The club members, Florence Gloster, Blanch McRae, Theresa Waters, Janet Morsell, Sadie Murphy, Ruth Shipley, Hattie Carter, Fannie Butler, Virginia Hall and Mattle Connor, found the greatest of pleasure matching bridge with Anita's extra guests, Ivy Boone, Bertha Pennington, Eunice Hall, Cora McDaniels, Lillian Berry, Claudia DeMann, Lucia Pinderhughes, Clara Robinson Catherine Williams, and Plavia Thomas. After exciting budding and close running scores, the champion winners were Ruth Shipley for the club, and Catherine Williams for the guests. So Anita had a lovely party. Bosalie's Card Party Rosalie Rawlings, Pansy, was an exceptional hostess on last Saturday when she entertained her club, Les Amies, and a number of extra friends at her home. 2564 McCullah street, honoring Helen Gallen, a near future bride. The honored guest looked most attractive in a pale green evening dress with a shoulder bouquet of tiny pink peas. The hostess was attired in a beautiful soft strawberry material and looked most becoming in it. She carried out her color scheme for the evening, green and strawberry, which was also marked in her tallies, confections and even her menu and prizes. Five Hundred was the evening's pleasure, with everybody working to win one of Rosalle's five beautiful prizes. However, Gladys Ray and Mary Cook won the first and second of the guest prizes and Mary Allen Cooper and Hattie Tilghman were winners of the two club prizes. They were lovely, unique boxes of writing paper and unusual picture mottoes. The guest of honor prize, which went to Helen, of course, was an exquisite sandwich tray. The party all in all was a colorful one, with floor lamps, potted plants and cut flowers placed everywhere around the rooms. The hostess left nothing unturned that Dr. E. Mayfield Boyle X-RAY Expert 826 Carrollton Ave. Says, The following persons should be X-rayed this spring for their health's sake: Those who have had influenza, cough, pneumonia, lingering colds or head colds; who have waited upon tuberculosis patients; who have suffered from shortness of breath or asthma; who have heart troubles; who have indigestion or urinary troubles. Feeling weak or lack of appetite or nervousness or all combined is often a sure sign of early tuberculosis. X-ray will find out.

Gladrs Entertains Pollyannas Gladys Eentertainns Pollyannas Gladys Pinderhughes, dearie, is rather quiet and reserved. Being well acquainted with her, though, you would love her. She is an ideal mother—an excellent school teacher and charming to her friends. So there was no reason why her card party shouldn't be a success on last Monday evening when she entertained her club, the Pollyannas, at bridge. Besides the club members, Gladys had Nettie Brown, Edna Reid, Valeria McNeil, Mamie Diggs and Mrs. Bernard Briggs. Her prizes, which went to Nettie Brown for the guest prize, and Anna A. Smith, for the club prize, were so very useful and extraordinary. Clara Robinson was given a special prize, a beautiful hand-painted leather appointment book, for her beauty shoppe. See honey. Clara is a member of the club. The Younger Set at Lncille's Lucille Pitzgerald had Marguerite Hubbard and her mother, of Toronto, Canada, as her house guests on last Saturday. As their visit was limited, Miss Lucille sent out the daintiest little invitations to bid the younger set to come thither and meet Miss Marguerite at an afternoon bridge ten, from 5 to 8. They came—the party was wonderful. Everybody found Marguerite charming, with an exceptional personality. She, in turn, thought the Baltimore girls delightful and interesting. The hostess's arrangement in the playing Romona Perfume Shops 1048 W.

At the close of the game, Jessie Smith. Lueille's sister, who assisted her, presented Elizabeth Johnson the first prize, a handsome boudof lamp. To Connie Murphy went the second prize, a lovely little clock, and to Pauline Wharton one of those latest style leather pocket books. Even though Mrs. Hubbard was not in the game, she and Miss Marguerite received beautiful special guest prizes. Besides these folks, Mary Catherine Dorsey was among the invited guests; so was Gene Pace, Mae Wright, Vashti Maxwell, Georgie McMeichen, Elizabeth McCard, Gladys Pitzgerald, Esther Braxton, Bernice Cross and Heromine Wharton. But, Punny, dear, there were two more ladies there, but I can't get in touch with anyone who was present just now. I am sorry. Belsinger ANYKIND SIO 610 N.

SAID HE FELL ON KNIFE Warren Told Doctors He Was Hurt Accidentally. Although her husband, Walter Warren, undertaker, 726 Carey street, went into the Great Beyond with sealed life in an effort to shield his wife, she broke down and confessed that she had stabbed him after a quarrel in the home, Sunday. Warren died Tuesday, one day after he had applied at the Provident Hospital for treatment for a stab wound over the heart. Shielded Wife In an effort to shield his wife, Warren told hospital doctors and police officers that he had fallen down a pair of steps with a knife in his hand. It wasnt until after he had died that police again questioned Mrs. Warren and obtained from her an alleged confession that she had stabbed her husband after he had struck her several times. Makes Confession In her confession, Mrs. Warren stated that on Sunday she and her husband had a quarrel over friends coming to the home and eating food. He struck her. She then left the home and went to the home of a brother on N. Mount street. Monday morning he came there and persuaded her to return home. The quarrel was renewed, she says, and after he had again struck her, she stabbed him. SCHOOL MASTERS TO BANOUET D.C. GROUP SCHOOL MASTERS TO BANOUET D.C.

Golden Peacock Forging to Front Attention of Cosmetic Field Focused on the Activities of This Aggressive Advertiser Rapid strides are being made in the cosmetic field by the Golden Peacock line of beauty preparations. It is doing big things because the factory is going after business with new spirit and aggressiveness. A feature of the merchandising is the idea of tying together the various items in the line as a "Harmonized" way to beauty. In this manner all the preparations are featured as part of a carefully developed beauty treatment. The leader in the line is Golden Peacock Bleach Creme for which an extensive newspaper and magazine campaign is being prepared. A new free goods offer that adds as much as 50 per cent to the dealer's mark-up is now in effect. On all preparations, except the Bleach Creme, the dealer gets gets 3 like items free with each dozen, or one like item with each half dozen. With a dozen of the Bleach Creme he gets free 3 of any $1 or 6 of any 50 cent item, while with a half dozen he receives 1 of any $1 or 2 of any 50 cent item. In addition there is also offered a free watch deal with Golden Peacock Tonic Face Powder. This provides for a jeweled watch to be given to retail salespeople who sell the most powder out of a given quantity. The plan has proved popular with many druggists. The effect of all his has been a gratifying increase in Golden Peacock sales both for jobbers and dealers. HOTELMAN'S ASSO.

UNION BUS TERMINAL AN IMPORTANT PHASE TO TRANSPORTATION Twenty years ago, a survey of the transportation facilities of a city would end with mention of the railroads and steamship lines, but today the bus transportation facilities of a city constitute just as important a place as these two older modes of transportation. Therefore, any series of articles dealing with the industrial life of a city of the type of Baltimore would not be complete without prominent mention of the city's motor transportation facilities. A visit to the corners of Liberty and Redwood streets, Baltimore, Md., gives one an insight into the very immensity of this type of transportation in Baltimore, for here is located the Union Bus Terminal, from whence the fleets of fifteen bus lines arrive and leave daily, with their cargoes of passengers. To the vision of one man is the-success of the Union Bus Terminal due. He is Edmund J. Wachter. The very fact that the Union Bus Terminal is Baltimore's first and largest, is evidence of the foresight and ability of this man. While others were talking about what great proportions future bus transportation would attain, he was busy providing a terminal that would be used by the foremost lines in the South; line that would not only provide service to nearby points, but to such sections as Florida, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, as well. There also is a transcontinental system. The Union Bus Terminal is conducted as a railroad terminal would be. There are regular schedules for departures and arrivals in well appointed and comfortable buses, manned by competent chauffeurs. Travel, by the more comfortable bus manner, has grown with leaps and bounds during the past year and while this is due in a great measure to the operators of the various lines, such growth and popularity would not have been possible without the erection of terminals by men of the type of Mr. Wachter who foresaw the great potentialities of this mode of transportation and promptly acted to bring it the system of a great railroad.

No Reference Required Hub FURNITURE CO. 710-712 PENNA AVE ACHING JOINTS Mr. A. S. Jackson writes from Rutherfordton, N. C.— "I would get up mornings and my joints would ache. I would feel sore. I would feel sleepy and stupid. I didn't feel like I wanted to work. "I heard of Black-Draught and how highly it was recommended. It certainly did me a world of good. So now I keep it in the house all the time. It keeps me in splendid shape." Pains in your joints and muscles are often the result of poisons which have been absorbed into the system instead of being carried off in a natural manner. These waste products cause a great deal of trouble to many people, and much relief has been found, in many cases, by seeing to it that the bowels act regularly and freely every day. Theford's Black-Draught should be taken as often as necessary to open the bowels and put them in a healthy state of daily activity. Sold by all druggists. 25 cents. Get a package today.
