COPELAND'S BODY
VIEWED BY MANY
BEFORE BURIAL
Herbert L. Copeland, who was hanged at the District jail last Thursday morning for the murder of Police Lieutenant David T. Dunigan, was buried last Saturday afternoon from the funeral chapel of John T. Rhines, Third and I Streets, Southwest.
As at the hanging, a curious and morbid crowd gathered about the undertaking parlors. Copeland was 50 years of age at the time of his death.
He is survived by three sisters, two brothers, a wife and a number of other relatives.
The body was placed on view Friday and thousands of curious people thronged past the big gray casket which held the body. Although he was hung by the neck, no visible signs of the agony he must have suffered could be found. The body lay almost in a life like form.
Rev. Clarence Olden, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church preached the sermon. He was assisted by Rev. Roberts who has been an attendant to prisoners at the District jail for a number of years. Mrs. Alice Johnson, Missionary at the Jail, sang a beautiful solo. Burial was in
School Board Members Refuse To Comment
The controversy between Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Howard University dean of women, and Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of public schools, in regard to public school teachers and normal school students sponsoring and participating in a revue, in which the hula-hula and Apache dances and cabaret scene were featured, may not be aired at the meeting of the Board of Education next Wednesday afternoon.
Colored Members Reluctant
The three colored members of the board, Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett were unwilling to make any statement as to whether or not they would bring up the controversy in the next board meeting.
Nevertheless, it was gleaned that they are reluctant to thresh out the dispute in the full board meeting. At least one of the members take the view that it would be better to settle the question quietly by conference, in which only colored persons would participate. His view is that such matters should not be brought to the consideration of white persons.
Notwithstanding this attitude on the part of the colored members of the board, there is a slight probability that some other member may bring it up for the adoption of a general policy for the District public school system. The controversy involves the question of whether or not it is sound educational policy for teachers and normal school students to appear in the revue type of show, especially with professional entertainers. It has become a public issue with a majority of the public school patrons supporting the contention of Dean Slowe that participation in such shows by teachers is not in keeping with the dignity of the teaching profession.
No Statement
None of these members of the board of education would make a statement of his or her attitude on the merits of the controversy. "It is a serious question in my mind where the administration is under fire," said the Rev. Bennett, "whether a member of the board should put himself on record. If I expressed my opinion in

WALKER PRIZE WINNERS TAKE IN SIGHTS OF PARIS
Rev. M. J. Key, pastor of Turner Memorial A. M. E. Church, and winner of first prize in the Mme. C. J. Walker contest, in company with his party, has arrived safely in France and, according to his letter, are enjoying the sights of the French Capital.
In his first message to the readers of The Tribune, Rev. Key stated, "to my mind, France deserves all the good that has been said and some more. At hotels, telegraph offices and stores, you are greeted upon entering and leaving. Those who can speak English, tell you anything you ask and those who cannot, make signs. There are smiles all the while in Paris, and people who have not smiled before, smile while in France. Paris is a city of sunshine and smiles. All are well and eager to advance further East. We will be back in Paris in thirty days."
While in Paris the party stopped at Hotel Bedford. Rev. Key will write an article for this paper from each important city the party visits. Persons desiring to write him, can do so through this paper.
Judge W. Hall To Retire After Long Service
Judge W. Hall To Retire After Long Service

years. He leaves with one of the cleanest record in the history of the department.
He was appointed a member of the police force in 1900, and was assigned to the 7th precinct. After two years and eight months service in this precinct, he was transferred to No. 8. For nearly the entire number of years in this precinct, he covered one beat. This was know nas No. 1, which covers Bloomingdale and Eckington sections.
During his career as an officer, he has had many experiences. He is possibly one of the best liked officers on the force. He is being retired because of physical disabilities, suffering from fallen arches.
One of the sad parts about this retirement is that while he has an excellent record as an officer and a good education, he retires after twenty-years' of hard service with no higher rank that he started with, although many white officers have started since he did and now hold high commissions. Officer Hall's only bar to a sergeancy being that he was colored.

NEW LOAN AND FINANCE CORPORATION ORGANIZED HERE BY PROMINENT MEN
The Federal Finance and Loan Corporation, designed to meet the growing needs for Negro business men and home owners, was tentatively organized here last week by a group of prominent business men. The new corporation, according to its organizers, will have ample capital and unlimited financial credit.
The men prominent in its organization are Dr. James R. Wilder, physician and property owner of Washington, D.C.; Mr. W. H. C. Brown, banker and investment expert of Newport News, Va.; Mr. S. H. Dudley, theatrical and business man of Washington, D.C.; Mr. Charles E. Mitchell, banker, certified public accountant and business man of Charleston, W. Va.; and Attorney L. M. King, lawyer and business man of Washington, D. C.
In an interview with a representative of this paper, a member of this group stated that the new corporation will be one of the first of its kind among Negroes in the United States.
No Stock For Sale
The new firm will not place any stock on the market; the men organizing it will furnish all the capital necessary. When the new firm opens for business, its capital stock will be fully paid in. This in itself is a new departure as heretofore each new ven-
Norfolk Pastor Operated On at Carson Hospital
Dr. O. J. Allen, pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church of Norfolk, Va., was operated on at Carson's Private Hospital, Wednesday, January 28th for appendicitis. The operation was entirely successful and Dr. Allen is resting comfortably.
Although some distance from Washington, Dr. Allen had heard of the wonderful work of Dr. Carson, who is one of the leading surgeons in the country, and came here for the operation. He expressed himself as being more than pleased with the treatment he is receiving and spoke high of the ability of Dr. Carson.
Dr. Allen is pastor of one of the largest and most beautiful churches the race can boast of. His church building rises like a temple of old above the buildings around it. It is fully paid for and is in excellent financial condition. He was called to this church less than a year ago from a church in Statesville, N.C.
His trip and hospital expenses here are being paid for by the church. He was accompanied here and is attended by Deacon R. Hollman of the First Calvary Church.

ture has always placed stock on the market .long before it was ready to do business.
Will Cover Wide Field
The new company will specialize in financing in all its departments. No deal will be too large for it to handle. Today there are thousands of property owners in Washington who must shortly re-finance their homes. Many of these people will be at the mercy of loan sharks and unless a company like the Federal is in operation, hundreds of people will lose their property and their whole life's savings. It will be the aim of the Federal Finance and Loan Corporation to come to the rescue of these people. Not only to provide money for them, but to offer sound advice on such matters. This in itself will be a big help to local property owners, as many of them do not know just how to go about the delicate task of re-financing their loans. Another feature of Federal service will be assisting Negroes in purchasing big apartments by financing the deals. At present, all of this financing must be done by other people and many deals are lost because of the inability of the prospective purchaser to get the necessary finance to put the deal through.

Negro Doctors Recognized By P.O.Department
Negro Doctors Recognized By P.O.Department
John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk at large, railway mail service, and a member of the Post Office Department Service Relations Board, has just been successful in getting Dr. Edward G. Ernest, medical director of the United States Employees Compensation Commission, to agree to place the names of colored physicians and surgeons on the accredited list of the commission. Postal employees injured in the performance of their duties in cities where there are no Public Health Service physicians can go to them for medical aid.
The significance of this can be seen when it is known that the Empolyees Compensation Commission is distributing annually nearly $2,500,000 for the medical, hospital and surgical treatment of injured and disabled Government workers and to the dependents of those who died as a result of injuries sustained while performing their duties. All postal employees, except presidential appointees and contractors are entitled to compensation unless there is wilful misconduct or intoxication.
As the commission has experienced considerable embarrassment in certain sections of the country in securing hospital accommodations for colored patienr. Gainey says he would appreciate it if physicians in writing him will state whether or not they are the owners of hospitals and give full information as to the hospital accommodations in their cities. Physicians desiring to be placed on the list are advised to write Mr. Gainey in care of the Second Assistant Postmaster General. Washington, D.C.

Wrong, inaccurate and grossly misleading, was a story published under blazing headlines in a local white daily paper, Tuesday afternoon, January 27th, about the marriage of one, Miss Annie Nelson, age 37, colored, and Henry William Faison, age 33, white.
A special investigation by reporters of The Tribune reveals the fact that instead of Miss Nelson making Faison drunk to marry him as stated by the white daily, that Faison had been, not-with-standing the fact that he is from the South, an ardent wooer of Miss Nelson, and that many love missives passed between them.
The investigation further revealed that instead of being under the influence of liquor at the time of the wedding, that Faison was as sober as the proverbial judge and was fully conscious of what he was doing, and so made this known to Rev. Aquila Sayles, pastor of Provident Baptist Church and one of the leading clergymen in the District, who performed the ceremony.
Tribune reporters were able to obtain the following version of the affair, which is believed to be correct in our detail.
Over eight months ago, Henry Williams Faison, white, son of a prominent North Carolina family, met Miss Annie Nelson, maid and waitress at the Shepherd House, 10th and E Streets, Northwest. It was a case of love at first sight. They have kept company continuously since. At this time Faison was employed in the finger print department of the Department of Justice. He was a veteran of the world war, where he was wounded. Because of this wound, he was given treatment and compensation by the Veterans' Bureau. Last Christmas he went to his home in Faison, N.C., for a visit. While there he corresponded with Miss Nelson constantly. When he got ready to return to Washington, he was out of funds, and his people, desirous of keeping him home, refused to give him any. Thereupon, he wrote Miss Nelson to please send him the necessary money for him to return to Washington. This was done.
Up to Friday, January 16th, everything was going along fine. Friday night, a day after pay day, there was much drinking going on at the Shepherd House, in which Faison participated. About 1:30 a.m., Faison knocked on the door of Miss Nelson's room (she lived in the hotel in quarters provided for her by the proprietress). She would not admit him. A second time he came and then she got up, dressed and in company with Faison, went to 1348 Union Street, Southwest. On their way down to this address, Faison told her that Mr. Todd, husband of the proprietress of the Shepherd House, had beaten him up. When they had reached Mottet, Southwest, they noticed that they were being followed by a man, rec-

ognized to be Todd in a taxi. The taxi driver kept his spotlight on them all of the time. Miss Nelson claimed Todd was trying to find out where they were going.
At 1348 Union Street, Southwest, she made arrangements for Faison to stay there and she went to the home of a friend close by. The next morning when she reported for work, Miss Todd the proprietress, questioned her about being out at that time of morning with Faison, this she resented.
Faison remained at 1348 Union Street, Southwest, until Miss Nelson came, which was about noon Saturday, January 17th. They talked over events of the night before and on his suggestion, they decided to get married. He then wrote his name and age on a piece of paper, gave it to her and told her to go and get the license, calling her by a pet name of "Baby."
In company with a friend, Miss Nelson went by the home of Rev. Sayles, for information and from there to the license bureau, where a license was obtained. Returning, they engaged Rev. Sayles to perform the ceremony. They were married in the presence of friends at 1852 Union Street, Sonuthwest, about 2:30 Saturday afternoon, January*17th.
Rev. Sayles, to a Tribune reporter stated that Faison volunteered the information that he loved the woman and that if she was good enough for one thing, then she was good enough for another, therefore he wanted to marry her. Rev. Sayles denied most emphatically that Faison was drunk or had any trace of liquor on him at the time of the marriage. He further stated that he saw nothing about the man to indicate in the lease bit, that he was insane. On the marriage license, Rev. Sayles so stated that the man was white and the woman was colored.
On Sunday night, Mrs. Faison informed Mrs. Todd at the Shepherd House that she was quitting. Mrs. Todd asked her where she was going, and she told her she was leaving the city. Then Mrs. Todd refused to permit her to remove her trunk from the hotel. Mrs. Faison was unable to get her trunk until Wednesday, January 20th.
The interest the Todds manifested in the case is strange indeed. She, it is further claimed, talked so much about the case, that her daughter is alleged to have said: "Why, mother, why is it you are so interested, no (Faison) is no kin to you. You have only one child and that is not so why should you worry yourself?" As Faison's people are supposed to have money it is believed that Mrs. Todd had other plans for him.
On Tuesday, 20th, policemen from the 4th precinct, called at 1348 Union Street, Southwest, and called Faison out of the house. When he came out they arrested him. The blotter at the

New Loan & Finance Corporation Organized Here
New Loan & Finance Corporation Organized Here
Many business men must borrow money from time to time to keep their stocks up. Oftimes they need funds to make necessary improvements. It is the aim of the Federal to meet this demand and provide business men with sufficient finance to meet their each and every need. Another feature of Federal service will be to provide funds for making repairs and improvements to homes. Many people would like to paint, paper, or repair the roof, install electric lights and heat, but are without sufficient cash with which to do it. The Federal Investment and Loan Corporation will aim to provide sufficient money for such improvements on most liberal terms.
To Have Experienced Management The new company will be new in name only as all of the men connected with it are well experienced in the investment field and have enjoyed more than usual success. These men will bring to the new company the fruits of their years of ripe experience, thus insuring it of competent and efficient management. The corporation will in all probabilities have its offices on U Street, Northwest, in the heart of growing population in this section. Final incorporation will not be completed until after March 5th, owing to the absence from the city of some of the organizers. The company expects to open offices for business a few days thereafter.
The new company will be organized so that if business warrants it, it can be expanded and its activities extended to other cities. In addition to the business of making loans and financing deals, the Federal will also act as fiscal agents for firms and individuals. This department will meet the demand of people with money who are desirous of investing their funds in safe, sound and profitable securities. The new company will employ young men of special training and will seek to build up a business that will meet the most exacting demands of a young and growing business world.

(2 p.m., Murray Casino) station house showed that he had been arrested for mental observation on a charge made out by Heron Todd. He was carried to Galigher Hospital. His wife called to see him there, but they were watched so closely that after she left, Faison wrote her a special delivery letter, post marked January 21st and stated in part: "Dear Annie: I thought sure I would get to talk with you more this morning, but everybody was watching you so closely that I couldn't say what I wanted to. I hardly know what to do. I guess the best thing to do is to annul the marriage. With lots of love and kisses, yours, Henry Faison." Since being transferred to St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Faison has written Mrs. Faison regularly, usually sending the letters special delivery. He generally begins them with "Dear Annie" and closes with "with lots of love and kisses." Always in his conversation with her, he calls her "Baby."
Faison is now confined in ward B-2, St. Elizabeth Hospital. It is believed by all who know him that he is the victim of a malicious frame-up in order to break up his marriage. In fact Mrs. Todd told Mrs. Faison that she would break up the marriage and would run her (Mrs. Faison) out of town. Mrs. Todd is from Virginia. Just what legal action will be taken is not as yet known, but relatives of Faison, who came up from North Carolina, it is believed at the instance of Mrs. Todd, have employed a lawyer to seek an annulment. It is further believed that an effort will be made to keep Faison in St. Elizabeth's Hospital until this can be obtained.
Mrs. Faison is determined to stand by her rights and will employ sufficient counsel to see that all of her interests are protected; and that her husband is not denied any of his rights.

ADVERTISE IN The Tribune PROVEN WAY TO STOP FALLING AIR and DANDRUFF
Dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp and baldness are enemies to scalp health and the growth of long, lustrous hair. Scientists admit they are "germ" diseases and to cure them the germ must surely be destroyed.

Occupation Of
Hayti Continued
eee ee ere
to justify tha intervention of the
United States inta the internal affairs
of Haiti upon the ground that it was
undertaken as a duty.
An July, 1915, when the United
States landed troops in Haiti, “the
President of Haiti had been brutally
murdered, his government — over-
thrown, and the steadying presence of
a foreign military foree was impera-
tively necessary,” he said.
After the Senate had voted to re-
ject his amendment, Senator King
grew sarcastic toward that body. “I
‘shall not say the ‘Senate is imperial-
‘istic. ‘That would be unparliamen-
‘tary. It might be untrue. I shall
say, however, withdue respect to my
‘colleagues, that I think they fail to
‘appreciate the great opportunity
which we have. in this particular in-
‘stance to emphasize the high pur-
‘poses of this Government,” he de-
clared.
"Senator Bruce, Democrat, of Mary-
land, asked him how many roads were
in Haiti when the American occupa-
tion took place.
Senator King conceded that “the
roads were limited in number and that
large sums have been expended since
the Amercians have been inSeontrol
‘of Haiti in the construction of roads
‘and highways, but as I have here-
‘tofore stated, the payment for these
improvements must be made by the
‘Haitian people.”
He continued that “I also concede
‘that many of the Haitian rulers were
cruel and imposed upon .the people
‘unjust laws which deprived many of
‘them of their liberty. But conceding
all that and more, I still insist that
the United States has no right to con-
trol the Haitian people by military
force, or to set up a form of govern-
ment at variance with the Haitian
constitution which our acts suspended,
if they did not destroy.” __

The report erroneously has gone
out that the robbery was committed
by Wilberforce students. This is in
error, as the investigation thus far,
with all the property in, has ‘disclosed
the fact that the studens in no way
are conneced with the robbery.
A Tribute to Reverend
Holland Powell
A tribute to my pastor and friend,
Rev. Holland Powell, D.D., who left
us to inherit, his reward for faithful
ae December 29, 1924.
"During his ministerial activities he
pastored’ successfully in Virginia,
Michigan, New York, Ohio and the
District of Columbia, gaining at every
place the love and respect of commu-
nities and churches, asa progress-
ive gospel preacher and Christian
gentleman.
He was identified with every phase
of the denominational work, both na-
tional and local.
~ “Giving is Getting” was his motto;
so he gave of his means, his time and

‘talent to help build up his people a
home and abroad.
Wherever his lot was cast, there he
labored untiringly to establish the
‘Christian standard of living.
~ Quiet and unassuming in his man-
‘ner, he took a stand for right and
righteousness. He stood, if he stood
alone, but always in a dignified man-
‘ner. Being ripe in experience, he
and his associates often counciled to-
gether.
‘The younger men found in him a
‘friend and advisor who always urged
‘them in a fatherly way to grasp
‘every opportunity to make the most
of life,
The many. testimonials from his
former charges point to the many
lives he touched and influenced for
good.
“To know him was to love hini;
To name him was to praise.”
His home-life, as his publie lifa,
was ideal, One was always mado
welcome under his roof.
Liberty Baptist Church has lost #
grand and noble pastor, the race and
‘denomination, a Christian gentleman,
and the gospel a preacher.
Truly a great man has fallen, but
the world is made brighter and crests

Chicago Dribblers Beat Carlisles in Last Half Rally
The Chicago "Driblers," captioned the "4 horsemen," because four members formerly represented the Wendell Phillips High School of the above city, rode to a glorious victory at the Casino Sunday afternoon over the Carlisle "Big Five" by a score, 37-27. The "Driblers" got off to a bad start and trailed at the half, 8 to 17.
The Carlisle quint as in its last game faltered badly in the second half and could make but 10 points while the Chi wonders were gathering 29.
Everyone of the "Driblers" played brilliant ball with Simpson the brightest star. Eddie Davis stood out for Carlisle.

Panthers Win Preliminary
In the preliminary the Elite Panthers easily defeated the Washington Barracks quint, 48 to 8. The soldiers showed a lack of practice and competition.
Alcoes Meet "4" Horseman Sunday
The Alco quint, District champions of 1924, will face the Chicago Dribblers, generally known as the "4 horsesmen" at Murray Casino Sunday afternoon.
The decisive victory the "Dribblers" scored over Conway's Carlisle "Big Five" last Sunday put them in line for a crack at the champs.
The Alcoes are favored to win, but the Dribblers have a big following that will be pulling for them.
The clash will almost be a repetition of the Armstrong-Wendell Phillips game of last year. Not less than half of the members of the local title holders are Armstrong products.
In the preliminary the Senegals will meet the Elite Panthers. Both rank with the leading teams just below the championship class.

Eastern Leaguers Hold Winter Meetng
POTOMACS PERMANENTLY
BOOKED FOR WILMINGTON,
DELAWARE
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 24th—The Commissioners of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs gathered at the Y.M.C.A., 1734 Christian Street, Philadelphia, Saturday, January 24th. The meeting was the first held since the joint session of the two leagues in Chicago and was attended by a full quota of the governing body. The Washington Potomacs were represented by Geo. W. Robinson; Brooklyn Royal Giants by Nat C. Strong; Bacharach Giants by Charles B. Johnson and Wm. Weeks; Baltimore Black Sox by Chas. P. Spedden; Cuban Stars by Alex. Pompez; Lincoln Giants by Jas. J. Keenan; Harrisburg Giants by C. W. Strothers and the Hilldale Club by Edw. Bolden.
Schedule Committee Appointed Chairman Bolden opened up the matter of drafting a schedule for the coming season. Geo, W. Robinson, Nat. Strong, Jim Keenan, Charlie Spedden and Ed. Bolden will meet February 14th and tackle the job of drawing up a temporary schedule to be ratified at a later meeting of the commission. It was agreed to adopt a seventy game schedule, the same as mapped out in 1924, but realizing the many unplayed games of last season left a bad taste in the mouths of fans in several cities, the committee will work to the end of effecting a better balanced schedule and the commissioners will insist that the clubs play out their allotted games, barring unavoidable conditions, but in no instance will the breach that occurred between some clubs the past season be repeated.
The matter of securing an efficient corps of rotating umpires will be taken up in earnest at the next meeting of the commission.
Potomaes to Wilmington
The circuit for the coming season will be affected by the single change of the Washington Potomacs moving from the nation's capital to Wilmington, Delaware, where the hustling owner, Geo. Robinson, may make baseball history in the Blue Hen state. The Bacharach Giants, under the direct management of Hammond Daniels, Jno. Dykes, Chas. Johnson and Will Weeks, about all that remains of the seaside corporation, will play a less number of games at Atlantic City, which was one of the mistakes of the 1924 schedule. Additional parks, where mid-week ball is possible, are under consideration and if they materialize, will greatly aid in making the schedule conform to the traveling clubs and those that play a single day per week at home.

MINER NORMAL SCORES OVER
DOUGLAS HIGH
(By G. Smith)
Baltimore. Md., Jan. 28—Before a crowd of 800 in the new Albert Hall, the Miner Normal School Five of Washington defeated the Frederick Douglas High School, 31 to 30. It was one of the best games seen in the Monumental city this season. Douglas led the first half by 23-13, but when the teachers came back they brought a defense that Douglas could not penetrate. When Miner started their attack they played their opponents off their feet. The strong defense of Normal was the feature of the game.

Dunbar Seniors Win Volley Ball Title
The Senior volley ball team of boys easily copped the Dunbar High School volley ball championship. Only the Junior team gave the Seniors any kind of a tight battle for honors. Manager Byrd of the Seniors played the best game although burdened with managerial responsibilities. The Junior team under the leadership of Captain Phillips was a long time getting organized. The Freshmen were long on enthusiasm but short on play. Although the boys played a better game than the girls, they did not put into the game the spirit the girls showed in their league.
The members of the Senior team who actually got into games were: Welch, McGhee, Stewart, Beeker, Conates, Brown, Atkinson, Johnson and Byrd.
Seniors 15-15; Sophomore 7-11
Seniors 15-15; Freshmen 1-8

INTIAL GAME
The Greek letter fraternity of Lynchburg, Va., organized a fast team of old stars such as Sterling "Dutch" Brown, a star tennis player, and Phi Beta Kappa Key man of Williams College; "Mel" Whedbee, All-American quarterback and captain of Seminary's football and basketball teams; "Frog" Stepteau, all-around athlete; "Whirlwind" Johnson, All-American halfback and ex-captain of Lincoln Lions and coach of Seminary's teams; "Roy" Perry, "Eddie" Hurt, ex-Howard All-American end and assistant Coach of, Seminary's teams; "Shutes" Hoyle and "Jim" Hughes, and won their opening game, 26-14, before a crowd of 400 spectators at the Lynchburg Main St. Auditorium. The Omegas would like to arrange games with any "Frat" or College teams. Write S. R. Polk, business manager, V.T.S.C., Lynchburg, or Dr. Norris, Basileus.
HAMPTON CLIMBS TOWARD
CAGE TITLE
Hampton, Va., Jan. 24—Hampton went into field-goal scoring with a profusion and a certainty which put her ahead of Union at the final gun by a comfortable margin. Union lost, 45 to 22, and the Seasiders ran their string of consecutive victories to five, climbing one step nearer the intercollegiate championship by hurling back the most dangerous court team she has encountered this season.
With 9 field-goals and 4 free-throws, Hargrove came through with high-point honors with a total of 22 as his share. Gardner, the opposing center, was second high-point man with 9 points. E. E. Brown, Hampton, and Smith of Union tied for third place honors with 6 points each.

IN THE FUTURE—THE "WASHINGTON" POTOMACS OF WILMINGTON, DEL.
News releases of the recent meeting of the Easterm Colored League announce that Wilmington, Delaware, will be the official home town of the "Washington" Potomacs next season. This can be taken to mean that not even on Sundays will local fans have the opportunity of seeing the P's in action.
This winter views with a great deal of regret the passing of the Potomacs as a Washington enterprise. From the beginning of the club we maintained that it would find support in Washington. We are not ready to say that it did or did not. Many entanglements arose to hurt the success of the Potomacs here. The biggest handicap was the lack of a park. A club must possess a playing field of its own to build up a following. Then, too, the organization of the club came during the war between the East and West and at a time when the players demanded lucrative salaries. This had much to do with the class of players and the caliber of ball offered. Thus, the Potomacs could only play at the American League park when the Nationals were away and the club even when here never displayed the brand of ball to make the fans rave. That in a nutshell is the reason the "Washington" Potomacs will be the Washington Potomacs of Wilmington, Delaware, the coming season.
IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN A DELANEY TO TAME THE "TIGER"
You can wage a nice bet that the knock out that Jack Delaney gave "Tiger" flowers will never tame the "Tiger." Kid Norfolk, "Panama Joe" Gans, Sam Langford, Jamaica Kid, Leo Anderson, administered the same dose to Flowers and he never stopped climbing. Some say age is against him but he has easily five more years ahead. The "Tiger" was born at Camile, Georgia, August 5, 1895.
Walk Miller, Flowers' manager, raised a terrible noise over the Delaney knockout. It is alleged that he told the New York Boxing Commission that Delaney had some kind of foreign substance in his glove that helped him to rock the "Tiger" to sleep. Miller probably had good reason to yell but he should have examined Delaney's hands and gloves before the fight. He could not expect the Commission to even investigate his complaint, because of the danger of finding evidence that would reflect on the Commission. The boxing body has been rather careless and Miller's complaint will likely put a scare into those boxers and managers who deal unfairly.

LANGFORD FAILS TO GET
BENEFIT FUND
Sam Lankford, former star colored middleweight and light-heavyweight fighter has written to friends in New York to inquire about the benefit fund that was raised for him last summer. Sam claims he never got a nickel. The National Sports Alliance staged a benefit to help the disabled scraper. Many attended the show because it was advertised to aid Lankford. The Alliance is under white management in New York. Lankford is located at Los Angeles and is now training a big fellow by the name of Tiny Summers of whom he thinks a whole lot.

The program intended for their return engagement here is one of exceptional quality. Colored minstrel shows, as we know them, sprang from humble beginnings in the music halls of many years ago.
In the profession among the leading pioneers in the minstrel lines were Billy Kersands, Ernest Hogan, Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson, Sam Lucas and others. But it remained for L. B. Holtkamp the present "King of Minstrelsy" to put clean, high-class colored shows on the map in the form of an amiable and entertaining octopus, and spread its tentacles out to tap most centers of population from New York to Boston, Chicago and the Pacific Coast.
The engagement is for the entire week with matinee Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and big Friday mid-nite ramble.
EVELYN ELLLIS in
"SHOULD A WOMAN TELL"
The Manhattan Players presented "Should A Woman Tell" at the Howard Theatre this week, giving some a peculiar satisfaction and throwing others into a state of dilemma.
Should a woman tell or should she live a lie? is the question in the mind of all who saw the performance this week. Should a woman tell, it is highly probable that all hopes of future happiness will be cast to the winds; for rarely does a man of high repute and true worth marry a woman who has a questionable past. Should a woman live a lie, she can have but little hopes of retaining her husband's love and confidence after the truth is forced to the front. The husband whose confidence is not shaken, even destroyed, is an extraordinary exception.
The writer has never seen Miss Evelyn Ellis, as Margaret Case, rise higher as an artist than she did in the performance this week, not even in "The Divorce Question" in which she played a leading part several years ago. Although she is small of statue and ill-suited because of it for many casts, the writer has yet to see her fail to give any role, in which she plays, the "touch," the individuality, which only an artist can give.
Margaret Brown, Lionel Monagas, Hayes Pryor and Alston Burleigh were the other outstanding characters in a well balanced cast. Special mention is given Mr. Burleigh, the local talent and son of Harry T. Burleigh, noted Negro composer and singer, for his creditable work. Whatever may be his vocation, he possesses the qualifications necessary to the making of a successful career on the dramatic stage.
Any girl or any young man, however innocent, who is forced to combat the adversities of life, is very likely to be confronted with a similar state of affairs as was faced by Evelyn Ellis or Lionel Monagas in "Should a Woman Tell." Therefore, if you desire a real treat, if you wish a tip, trust the writer in recommending "Should a Woman Tell" for an evening of enjoyment.
BETTY COMPSON AT THE
REPUBLIC
Saturday, Sunday, Monday, January 31, February 1 and 2—Betty Compson in her latest Paramount picture "Locked Doors" with Theodore Roberts, Kathlyn Williams, and Robert Edeson in the cast.

TALENT NIGHT REVIVED AT
LINCOLN
Charles E. Lane, Jr., manager of the Lincoln Theatre, is presenting model talent shows every Friday at this playhouse. The revival was begun last Friday night. The premier act was Isabelle Webster and Carrol N. Boyd. They sang "Open Your Heart." Later Mrs. Webster rendered "Sally" from the
Pollyanna Revue. They were followed by Arthur (Sheafe) Wetzell, a cornetist, accompanied by White Brothers orchestra. The leading juvenile act was little Miss Juanina Jones and the "fairy octet." Miss Jones danced by herself and then with the fairies. Little Miss Arminta Myers was queen of the fairies. Teddy Blackman did a soft shoe and buck and wing dance; Charlie Mills, a waltz clog, buck and wing dance, and a novelty musical specialty.
Other acts were Miss Anna Luster, a "blues" singer who was given the raspberries; William James Lovett, pianist; Miss LaCountess Hutchins, song and dance; Gwyn Clark, a Russian dancer and Charles W. Bacchus, a violinist, who also was not permitted to finish. Chief Iron Hand, a professional Indian cyclist, concluded the show.
The bill for this Friday night includes "Red" Davis and "Rat" Rattley, Leon Jones, Carl Crawford, and a number of pupils of Mlle. Bessie De Saussure's dancing school.
Manager Lane also announced a popularity contest to begin on Lincoln's birthday. It will run four months. Prizes will be awarded to the most popular women. A Reo automobile is the first prize.
MARCH 4 RECEPTION TO ECLIPSE ALL
Citizens Interstate Committee Backs Reception.
The largest and most spectacular inaugural ball ever witnessed is staged for March 4 at Convention Hall. It is backed by an interstate committee composed of men high in the ranks of fraternal orders and headed by the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks of the World, who is a member of the District Inaugural Committee.
The ball is stamped as the official affair and is to present all the national musical organization here for that occasion.
Plans have been made to bring to Washington for the occasion, the famous James Reese Europe band or the "Fighting Fifteenth," the band or the world renowned Eighth Illinois and the Boston musicians.
Through the office of the Grand Exalted Ruler committees are being organized to make the affair eclipse any other event and to prepare for the comfort, entertainment and pleasure of the guests to the city.
The Grand March is to be the spectacular event of our history in display because of the great strides made by the people since a similar event gave them cause to celebrate the inauguration of a truly Republican president and administration.
The general interest of the states is promised by the interest of men like Judge William C. Hueston, Indiana; Robert R. Church, Tennessee; Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committee and Grand Legal Adviser of the Elks; Oscar DePriest, Chicago; S. H. George, State Organizer of Kentucky; C Tiffany Toliver, Roanoke; Joseph B. Brown, Grano Esquire, N. Y.; Edward C. Henrv president State Association, Philadelphia, and others whose plans make it possible for them to be present on that occasion.
CANDIDATES FOR REGISTERS
JOB ARE ACTIVE
Interest in the displacement of Harley V. Speelman, Register of the Treasury, and the appointment of a colored man as his successor, was sustained last week by the presence in the city of two of the three men whose names are prominently mentioned in connection with this office. They were Aaron E. Malone, president of the Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., and Ernest G. Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind. Both men were acitive in behalf of their respective candidacies. Mr. Malone postponed his leaving from Tuesday to Thursday night. He was constantly in conference with Senator Selden P. Spencer, of Missouri, and Congressman L. C. Dyer, of St. Louis. It is understood that both of them have committed themselves to the support of his candidacy.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925
Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, has already urged the President to appoint Mr. Tidrington whenever a vacancy should occur. Mr. Tidrington, however, came to the city to further his candidacy. There has been no indication at the White House that the President is considering an early removal of Mr. Speelman and the appointment of his successor. Mr. Speelman will continue his services at the pleasure of the President. It may be, however, that sufficient influence will be brought into play to have Mr. Speelman promoted or transferred to some other position and a colored man appointed in his stead.
PRAISES REV. WALDRON
To the Editor of The Washington Tribune:
When a man is doing a great work for his people he should be cheered on the way, and his people should find a way to make him know that his good works shall always be remembered.
And I have in mind the earnest efforts put forth by that great and good man, the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church

in this city. During this "extortionate rent" investigation before Congress. Rev. Waldron is not found wanting when it comes to speaking out for the best interest of the Colored race here. He not only speaks out for the members of his own Church, but he speaks for the entire race here relative to the way they are being gouged by these grafting landlords and real estate agents.
But this is nothing new for Dr. Waldron for it seems that God has called him to lead for just such a time as this. Speaking of the rent gougers, he could truthfully have added that the worse gougers the race has to deal with here may be found (we regret to say) among our own, the Colored agents. A testimonial should be planned, at some future date, to be given to Dr. Waldron for the manly stand he always takes in behalf of our race. And it is too bad that he is in a (preachers') class by himself. We have been listening to hear from that race-loving(?) Race Congress, which seems to be too dumb to speak at a time when it might do the race some good. Go on, Dr. Waldron, and may you live long!
Nothing but service and low prices
Hare, and more than one thousand others varying fields of constructive musical development. Music has a very distinct field of possibilities.
Labor Conquers All Things
In the field of labor, Colored America continues to be a factor in practically all sections of the country. The field is tightening and there is a demand for more efficiency but there does not seem to be a let up in the opportunity for development. This is due first, to the law on immigration, and, second, to the increase of prosperity which calls for more workers.

There are those who predict another migration from the southland in 1925, but a further migration will be on a different basis than heretofore. The South is earnestly striving to dispute the arguments against migration especially to the citizen, and on the subjects of education, poor municipal facilities, and social injustice. The Inter-racial movements of the South have been very helpful in broad casting this new spirit of toleration and larger opportunities. The developments are all the more remarkable.

History education is not a matter of degree. They may be tolerated, we should establish an ele-

drinking, smoking till sick, and amusing

We know that the problem of educating
the parents thereof, the schoolmaster, the
which ultimately must feel the effects of

hing a minimum in the education for the
powerful force in deciding what modern edu-
cation laws, will be a disgrace to a civilized co-
democracy without education; for it gives
, diminishes juvenile crime and affords o-
nnting slum populations. Further, it affords
increasing the influence of the church or in
influences and increases the national strength
as a national disgrace.
Artistic defines democracy to be a form of

impression that they, the people, are do-
wish. Accordingly, the State can make y
both for good and evil; improve manners a
illitate common action for public ends; and
more responsive to direction from a center
implishments, democracy can exist only a
more, this unwarranted laxity gives rise to

ed possible by the laxity in enforcing our
laws.
The Washington Tribune is an institution for the masses. It is devoted to reform and progress. It is governed and actuated only by principles in so far as they make for justice, for harmony and for the general welfare of the poor. Its news department is fearless, impassionate and drastically independent.
HE LAXITY IN COMPULSORY EDUCATION
Compulsory education is not a matter of degree. Though some freedom may be tolerated, we should establish an element of discipline and authority, without question as to the amount of it, in seeing to it that children do not do exactly as they please all day long.
In all parts of the city, we find children, white and black, going unwashed, drinking, smoking till sick, and amusing themselves by plaguing elderly people. The least observation, will verify the contention that some children are allowed to do any and everything which disqualifies them for future usefulness in the community and in the world at large.
Of course we know that the problem of educating the child devolves upon the parents thereof, the schoolmaster, the church; yet, the State, which ultimately must feel the effects of the child's education or lack of it, has a greater obligation and responsibility in establishing a minimum in the education for the child. It is the most powerful force in deciding what modern education is to be. It has more to say as to scholastic institutions than have all the other factors combined.
The ignorance which the community will see and feel before many moons, because of the laxity of enforcement of our compulsory education laws, will be a disgrace to a civilized country. There can be no democracy without education; for it gives commercial advantages, diminishes juvenile crime and affords opportunities for regimenting slum populations. Further, it affords an opportunity of increasing the influence of the church or in combating its evil influences and increases the national strength. In short, illiteracy is a national disgrace.
The politician defines democracy to be a form of government, the function of which is to make people do what their leaders wish under the impression that they, the people, are doing what they themselves wish. Accordingly, the State can make young people more docile both for good and evil; improve manners and diminish crime; facilitate common action for public ends; and make the community more responsive to direction from a center. Without these accomplishments, democracy can exist only as an empty form.
Furthermore, this unwarranted laxity gives rise to disrespect for existing institutions, contempt and suspicion of authority, hampers individual development, and lowers the moral standard of the Nation. Crimes are rife everywhere, and everywhere they are rendered possible by the laxity in enforcing our compulsory education laws.

The modesty of J. D. Gainey—assistant chief clerk at large, railway mail service, and a member of the Service Relations Board of the Post Office Department—makes him less known to the general public than he deserves to be. Many of those who know him well fail to appreciate the important, beneficent and benevolent work that he is doing for the Race in the Post Office Department, because he is modest and unassuming. It is his distinction to be a protector, a defender—it might almost be said, a savior—of the Negro, by readjusting the present order of things, establishing more amicable racial relations, bettering working conditions and promoting, generally, the welfare of the Race in the Department which he represents. He is impelled by his own thorough grounding in the purest love for the downtrodden; for his acts, words and emotions are flowers and fruits which spring from the kind seeds which were planted in his own soul.
In Montgomery, Alabama, where his work stands out most conspicuously, he will be long remembered. There he caused the reappointment of the greater portion of those of the Race who were removed from the Post Office for one cause or another. In many cases he obtained status quo for the reappointee, for others he got "back pay" and for still others he secured the positions to which they were entitled by virtue of their civil service qualifications. Every case of even seeming injustice brought to his attention is investigated thoroughly. If he is convinced that there is an injustice, he is not satisfied nor does he stop until there is a correction. He is ever seeking interventions to prevent the great growth of prejudice from overshadowing pure merit in the Department.
An account of Mr. Gainey's most recent endeavors may be found in another column of this issue. We do not hesitate to voice our appreciation of his efforts. The problems before us are not only those of settling responsibilities, but also those of doing what we can to insure our happiness and wholesome growth. When we find one who works sincerely, earnestly for the betterment of any racial conditions and not for selfish purposes, we sing him praise.

Something of Interest
```markdown
```
There are two sources from which arise indignation, one is the head; the other, the heart. Do you, my critics, when you charge me with indignation, perceive the difference between the two? I never feel indignant, though my mind may at times be.
The public has not, generally, so much prejudice against a man who thinks differently from itself as against one who feels differently. Public opinion, generally, while it may not view with favor a man who entertains philosophies and ideas oppugnant to its own, nevertheless treats him with more or less poise and chari-
melee of things artistic brought to the public's attention. Much criticism, both constructive and destructive, of the responsibility of those who organize them is heard. In the event there is an unfavorable verdict to be rendered, there is no hesitancy in driving it home. Public opinion is a singularly blithe and candid agent. With all the insouciance in the world its thumbs are turned down. A play cordially commended by the critics is nevertheless sent inexorably to the storehouse. In the face of this familiar state of affairs, we wonder what are the origins and functions of the public's taste.
Here in Washington the variability of taste is prodigious. It seems no more stable a thing than that utterly volatile and capricious factor in the doings of men which they call "fashion." The idol of to-day is the doormat of to-morrow. Success is as evanescent as the most austerely pessimistic of moralists might ask, and it perches on the oddest of banners. A place in the sun is enjoyed by some seemingly triumphant type for about as long a period as that which spans the popularity of a new cabaret. We wonder, how often do the arbiters of destiny in these matters look to the rectitude of their own taste and consider what they owe in understanding to the people who serve them. Do they know that their taste is one of those things about which they should be as solicitous as they are about their personal cleanliness? Or do they simply "know what they like" and ignore all questions of responsibility for their judgments?
Some of us believe that taste came to us at birth, along with teeth, feet, "nappy" hair and so on. It is not an uncommon observation, therefore, that two disputants over Evelyn Ellis, or a play, or a picture, and so on, amicably agree to disagree on the comfortable hypothesis that it is "a matter of individual taste." Is it not probable that both are wrong? Their truce, in a measure, may be comprehensible. Taste is a natal attribute; so is the hare lip. It does not follow that, because you were born with your taste askew, you are justified in forming a conclusive opinion. It is your business to overhaul your taste now and then, and to do what you can to make it a pliable and profitably responsive instrument, not the mere willful inadequacy which you so often see in operation.
If tact, as some define it, is the intelligence of the heart, may we not go on from that suggestive point and venture to define taste as the clairvoyance of the brain? Does it not spiritualize an act of the mind? Is it not the vehicle through which reasoned judgment makes its swiftest short cut? Does it not leap over obstructions, take essentials in its stride and arrive at a delicate balance of all the elements in a problem? Fitz-Gerald called taste "the feminine of genius." Intuition, a feminine trait, is undoubtedly its lifeblood. But it needs chastening all the time, the correction of wayward impulses, the adjustment of the personal point of view to cultural perspective, the tonic influence of immemorial law.
Some of our taste is admirable. More of it would deserve the epithet if it were rooted less in the careless mood of the moment, less in modishness and the craving for mere amusement. Our taste needs to be more instructed if it is to be more wisely and helpfully discriminating. It needs to be more familiar with the long vistas of the past if it is to function more effectively in the present. It needs to be more conversant with masterpieces if it is to decide accurately on the merits of what our half-gods provide. Most of all, it needs to be informed by a keener sense of responsibility.

The Public's Artistic Taste

It brushes him aside in distrust and dislike, and bestows upon him a parting spit. The man with ideas other than its own ideas, the public puts down merely as something of a misled fool. But the man with emotions other than its own emotions it puts down as a dangerous and suspicious fellow, and one to be treated as a typhus bacillus.

"Brilliant audience of 6,000 hears Chaliapin in 'Faust' at the new Washington Auditorium"—this and similar newspaper headlines greeted our sight in last Tuesday's local dailies. It is a fact that President and Mrs. Coolidge led applause at the auspicious debut of the Washington Opera Company at the new Auditorium when the largest audience ever assembled in Washington to attend a musical entertainment filled every seat in box, orchestra and balcony. The cabinet, congressional set, diplomatic corps, both branches of the military service and the cream of society swarmed from every direction into the massive new structure to witness this epochal music event among Washington's white citizenry. An event of equal importance to Washington's colored citizenry especially musicans and music lovers, is the initial presentation and debut of the only Negro Symphony Orchestra

in the face of both races who desire to work in harmony. There are many who have the courage of their convictions, however, and their ideas are reflected in a larger spirit of good will. Colored America has never taken over kindly to labor unions, as a group, and in this respect the workers are very largely in a state of marking time. With the majority of laborers not members of any union.
Farming Standards Improving
Farms, owned or leased, by Negroes, have been a big subject for years, especially in the South. There are some eminently successful farmers in the race but the majority have been handicapped by either knowledge of business methods or unjust treatment. It has been maintained that even in the matter of farm loans by the Federal government the Negro farmers have not been treated with even the same justice as other farmers. There is a new tendency now to be fair to the Negro farmer. There are yet many places in the South, where the land is leased, but public information on this kind of injustice is being so well developed that a new day is looked for in farm development. The farm is the ideal life, after all, say many great thinkers, and with the automobile, electricity, radio, telephone, rural free delivery, and good roads the farmer is becoming the aristocrat of America. There is to be erected in Chicago a Temple of Agriculture to cost more than $50,000,000 and it is stated on good authority that Colored farmers will get fair and just consideration in this mammoth development.
Banks, Insurance and Investments "It takes money to make the world go 'round." For the world of Colored America, there is no exception to the rule. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with banks, and to have banks; and all the other accessories of material progress. White capital has been very shy in extending its service to Negro investments. Here and there are found exceptions, but they merely prove the rule. Consequently, there has been a tendency to develop investment organizations, and banking business within the race. There has been some progress, but in comparison with the actual needs there has hardly been a start. The National Negro Finance Corporation, a new venture sponsored by the National Negro Business League, Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee, president, and C. C. Spaulding of the famous Durham, N. C. group, chairman of the board, will seek to supply a most important need in Negro commercial development. In the insurance field gratifying advance has been made. Approximately a million dollars in new capital has been added by the formation of new companies or the enlargement of old ones. One organization alone, The North Carolina Mutual reports an income of two million dollars for 1924 and forty-two millions worth of business in force. Insurance companies represent the
in a symphonic recital, Dorsey T. Rhodes, conductor, and Wesley I. Howard, violin soloist. It is the only similar aggregation of artistic calibre that we have any knowledge of in the United States of America and consequently their public appearance in a recital program should arouse the greatest enthusiasm possible among citizens of color. As also it is truly representative of Howard University's splendid musical talent, the race as well finds in them a source of inspiration and deep sense of civic pride that is thoroughly, sincere and highly gratifying.
Both Rhodes and Howard are brilliant musicians and artists who merit high rank and it is hoped that the entire faculty and student body of Howard University and Conservatory, local musicians and music lovers, society, and all who love Art for art's sake will be present to hear them perform at Lincoln Theatre, next Wednesday, February 4, at 6 P.M. and encourage the only Negro Symphony Orchestra that we may claim our own.

largest single business endeavor in which the race is engaged and their benefits are not to be measured alone in the protection they furnish the home but in the money they loan on property, the employment they furnish young men and women and the support which they give Negro business.
Hotels and Traveling Accommodations
With the increased business development of Colored America there has come an increased demand for accommodations in public hotels. There has been a well defined effort to meet this need in some cities, but in many others, including New York City there is yet a great need for hotel accommodations. It is true that the accommodations of many of the downtown hotels are open in both New York and Chicago, but it is likewise true that the majority of the traveling public prefers to stop in the neighborhoods close to the people they know best. Chicago furnishes an eminent example of adequate hotel accommodations in a city where discriminations are at low ebb.
"Come Over in Macedonia and Help Us"
Colored America has been giving heed to the Macedonia cry of Africa; the Virgin Islands, Haiti and South America. In fact, Colored America has been showing a very lively interest in the conditions and development of all of the Colored peoples of the world. There has developed a desire to study their problems in connection with our American problems, and to compare the attitude of the white peoples of other parts of the world with the white of America. It has been maintained by some that America has "some of the best and some of the meanest whites in the world." An eminent white American remarked: "There is no prejudice more deep-seated, or more illogical, than color prejudice, and it seems to have its greatest sway among the English speaking peoples, those of the United States and of Great Britain, reaching its most violent state for the latter part in South Africa. Added to these, necessarily is the Belgian Congo.
Amusements and Theatricals "On with the dance, let joy be unconfined." In the matter of amusements, the race has been looking into this angle with interesting concern. Dance halls, cabarets, theatres, and all of the other places of recreation, and pastime have been developed to an extent, speaking in terms of dollars, that runs into the millions, from a national viewpoint. In this particular field, white capital has entered with "frenzied finance." In fact, many of the places, in Colored neighborhoods, designed for our patrons, are so flocked to by whites, that the Colored people find it difficult to be adequately accommodated.
There are a large number of Colored theatres, but singularly, the theatres in Colored neighborhoods, throughout the country, that are doing the largest business, are owned

All Admire Her Lovely Hair
Few people who meet this beautiful girl know how she obtained the gloriously lovely hair that now makes her admired by all who see her.
She says it it was Exelento Quinine Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxurient. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen.
She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier for salow complexions and skin blemishes. She had used this remarkable cream but a short time when her friends began complimenting her on her clear skin and improved appearance.
Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier. They can be obtained at 25% each from nearly all drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.

Madame Jones prides herself of the fact of being the only palmist in the world who has, during her stay in England, been officially summoned to the St. James Palace in London to read for his late majesty, King Edward VII. by white capitalists. In some instances there is a pleasing cordiality, in far too many, however, there is a haughtiness and spirit of indifference that cause genuine disgust to say the least. There have been a number of expensive road shows, backed by white capital, that have played to "down town" theatres and there has been wide-spread public appreciation. (To Be Continued.)

None on earth can harm you there
