Vol. 4, No. 48 CORONER'S JURY HOLDS PHYSICIAN IN $5000 BOND A coroner's jury Tuesday ordered Dr. James Theophilus Blue, of 1825 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death of Helen Houston, 16 year old school girl, 1211 K Street, Southeast. Illegal Operation He is charged with having performed an illegal operation that resulted in her death at Freedmen's Hospital on April 18. The operation is said of have been performed at his office on Saturday, March 28. The girl was remwoed from her home to Freedmen's Hospital upon the advice of Dr. William G. Lofton, of 1737 Eleventh Street, Northwest, on April 16. She died two days later. Dr. Blue was first arrested last Friday, April 17, on a charge of having performed an illegal operation, by Detective R. A. Sanders. He was released on $3,000 bond. After the death of the girl, he was again arrested about 1:30 o'clock Saturday morning and was released on $5,000. Girl's Statement At the inquest Tuesday morning, Detective Sanders, who was detailed to investigate the case, told the coroner's jury that on April 17 he went to Freedmen's Hospital where he found Helen Houston in a critical condition. The girl told him, he said, that on Friday night, March 27, she and her mother went to the office of Dr. Blue at 304 F Street, Southwest. The doctor, did not give her any treatment that night, but told her to return the next day and he would examine her. He told her to bring some money with her, Detective Sanders testified. On Saturday evening she returned to his office, and Dr. Blue took her into a room and used a syringe or other instrument, which gave her some pain, Detective Sanders said the girl stated, and she paid him $30. She returned to her home and that night she was taken with severe pains, the detective said, and the next day, Sunday, March 29, she had her mother call Dr. Blue but he did not come until Monday evening. Drew Savings Detective Sanders said that his investigation disclosed the fact that the girl had drawn $30 out of a savings account in the North Capital Savings Bank on the day that the operation is supposed to have been performed. He produced a copy of the check. He also produced copies of several prescriptions, which had been given and filled after the abortion is supposed to have occurred, contained a mixture of ergot, codeine and opium. Ergot it was explained is a drug that is used to check bleeding form the uterus. The mother of the dead girl testified that on Friday, March 27, she went with her daughter to see Dr. Blue, but at that time she did not know what the trouble was other than that her daughter complained of pains in the stomach and headaches. Dr. Blue, the mother said, made no examination of her daughter that night but told her to return the next day. Her daughter, Mrs. Sallie Ingram, accompanied Helen on Saturday. About 3 o'clock Sunday morning, following her daughter's second visit to the office of Dr. Blue, Helen complained and told her that Dr. Blue had used a syringe. She said that she called Dr. Blue early Sunday morning, but he did not show up until about 8 o'clock Monday night. He promised to return the next day, she said, but did not do so. Another Doctor Called On Easter Sunday, Dr. Lofton was called in. He wanted to send Helen to the hospital, but she did not want to go. Thursday, Dr. Lofton was again called, and he sent the girl to the hospital. (Continued on page 6) THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E.

SUED FOR RUNNING JIM CROW TRAIN W.B.&A.SUED FOR MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS RUNNING JIM TELLSOFSCHOOL'SOWNERSHIP As a result of the refusal to permit colored persons to ride on the "Bowie Special," an electric train run over the lines of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway Company direct from the terminal at Twelfth Street and New York Avenue, Northwest, to the Prince George's race track at Bowie, Md., three suits for $10,000 damages each were filed in the District Supreme Court last Monday against the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway Company and J. G. Faircloth. Reputations Injured. The suits were brought through Attorneys Charles H. Houston and J. T. Settle by Charles H. Flagg and Thomas H. R. Clarke, real estate agents, 810 F Street, Northwest, and J. T. Settle, lawyer, 613 F Street Northwest. They allege that by reason of the discrimination against them on account of race or color, they were subjected to and did suffer deep humiliation and shame, great mental anguish, and their reputations as reputable and respected citizens were seriously injured. They say that about April 1, 1925, an advertisement of the "Bowie Special" was inserted in local papers and in accordance with it they made their reservations on it for April 4, personally purchased their tickets at the general ticket office at the terminal and presented themselves shortly before train time to board the train as passengers. When they attempted to board the train they allege that the agents of the defendants unlawfully discriminated against them and publicly embarrassed, humiliated, insulted and intimidated them, and excluded them from the train, repudiated their contract and refused to transport them in breach of their obligation to them as common carriers. This was done, they say, solely on account of the fact that they are persons of Negro blood and descent. Discrimination Prohibited. They further allege that the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway Company as common carriers of passengers for hire was bound to receive them for carriage without discrimination. They say that it is expressly prohibited in its business from making or enforcing any regulation excluding Negroes or persons of Negro blood from any car, which it maintains, operates, manages or controls. Two sections of the laws governing common carriers by railroads in the District of Columbia are cited in their declarations. One provides that there shall be no regulation excluding any person from any car on account of color. The other section provides that the provision prohibiting any exclusion from any car on account of color already applicable to the Metropolitan Railway Company shall extend to every railroad in the District of Columbia.

According to the bank statement just published, the bank continues to show a substantial growth. The Prudential is now nearing its second year. PROMINENT ELK CHARGED WITH ILLEGAL MANUFACTURE Clarence W. Jackson, former district deputy of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World for the District of Columbia, plead not guilty when arranged before Chief Justice McCoy in criminal court No. 2 last Friday morning on a charge of violating the national prohibition act. He was released in bonds of $1,500. The indictment, on which he was arraigned, charges him with the illegal manufacture and possession of intoxicating liquor on July 25, 1924. It was returned by the grand jury on April 6, last. Jackson was the storm center in the controversy between Columbia Lodge No. 85, Improved Benevolent Order of Elks of the World, and Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson. It was for refusal to obey the orders of Jackson that the Grand Exalted Ruler cited the lodge to show cause why it should not be suspended. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1925 By Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, President, National Training School for Girls. Since we announced, through the press, a few weeks ago, that the National Baptist Convention did not give $73,000.00, and that we have received only ten dollars from the convention since the establishment of the school, we are being asked by everybody: "Why doesn't the convention support the Training School?" It seems wise to answer the question through the press, for the following reasons: First—To give facts and thereby correct false reports, rumors, notions, and mischievous and destructive propaganda. Second—To turn the light of truth upon the whole situation. Third—To encourage and arm our friends and all others who will be glad to have the facts before them, so that they can do their own thinking and make their own deductions and decisions. Fourth—Because silence neutralizes or paralyzes too many of our constructive friends, and emboldens or statifies every destructive mischief-maker. To start with, we will have to give you a little ancient history: Fact number one: The Convention opposed the establishment of the school. Many said it could not be done and that it should not be done. Fact number two: After it was established, and seemingly succeeding, the opposers tried to kill it by neglect and silent treatment. Fact number three: The school grew. The Annaniasites next declared, "We do not own the school—Nannie Burroughs owns it." They demanded that the property right be anchored in the Convention, and not in a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. Mind you, the charter was secured in 1909, was published that year, and has been published in the catalogue every year since, and sent broadcast. Why didn't the opposers read it and register a protest on that score when it was first published in 1909? No question of ownership came up until 1915, following the Chicago split. Back to the ownership: Nannie Burroughs does not own the school. Though she has given many times ten dollars and all of her life to it. She doesn't own a sprig of grass on the campus. In a written communication sent to the National Baptist Convention in September, 924, she made this statement: "I am only one of forty legal trustees, and have no more legal right in the property than any other trustee. Those who know anything about welfare corporations know that 'the persons signing and acknowledging the certificate of incorporation, their successors and associates * * * all stand upon an equal footing, in so far as legal, controlling or other rights are concerned.' As President of the institution, I am simply acting as an employee of the Trustees, standing ready, even this moment, to give up my commission as President, if such is desired or would serve to clarify the situation or cause peace. The property is not mine, has never been, in fact, in thought, or in desire. I would not have it by any process, in or out of law. In a spirit of due reverence, and clothed in my right mind, even Almighty God could not give it to me or persuade me to take it, or use or help use it for any purpose other than that for which it was secured and incorporated." Thank God, nobody owns the school. It is a chartered institution, held in trust by the Board of Trustees. Had it not been thus chartered and constituted, it would have been swept away in the great Chicago cyclone in 1915, that scattered Negro Baptists to the four corners of the country, from which thousands of them have never returned. The Training School stood the storm and is standing now, because the law and its splendid Board of Trustees shielded it and its friends supported it. "I am only a Trustee. Go to the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, and see for yourself. I regard my trust as the most sacred committed to me by the Almighty. What I want, and will contend for until my death, is that the property of the National Training School be—as it is now—held in trust by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees, and so constituted that no divisions, splits, wrangles nor financial obligations of the National Baptist Convention, or any of its boards, shall affect the life of the school. "As the distinguished churchman, Doctor Walter H. Brooks, said recently, in a very illuminating discussion of the Baptist situation: 'The policy of the National Baptist Convention to make the Convention, not its federated units, the owner of the several properties held by those units, resulted in a division of forces, so that the one body of earlier years is today two, operating as The National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, and The National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated. And it is possible that there is more trouble and division ahead. Another noticeable effect of the division of 1915 is the change of name in the several boards and of their relation to the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated.'" "The people who are now serving as trustees of the Training School were nominated or endorsed by their state conventions, and elected by the Trustee Board. What safer, fairer and more democratic plan can be devised?" "Believe me when I tell you that my whole purpose is to safeguard the life of the Training School, through all the years to come. It has been built on the greatest sacrifice that a human being can make, supplemented and supported by the faith and sacrifices of thousands of Baptists, as well as other men and women representing all denominations and no denomination. Our students have come from every state in the union, and out of every denomination. The women who have toiled with me, as teachers and administrators, are of many denominations. We have been signally blessed, in that we have had well-trained, consecrated women. They have made many sacrifices. One promise we made the Lord, and we have kept it: Our teachers do not have to wait for their money. For fifteen years, we have paid them every month, and very promptly. The president has gone without her salary, year in and year out. She has made other sacrifices in order to provide funds in a crisis. She has worked like a slave, and sacrificed everything—and she has counted it a privilege—but she wants the public to know the truth, since it is from that source that she has received so much help, encouragement, and inspiration. "Before closing, it might be well to correct another erroneous notion. Many people think that the school gets money from white people. Thank God, we number among our friends some of the choicest people of that race, but less than ten per cent of the money raised annually is given by those friends. "We started out to lay the foundation of this institution with money contributed by colored people. We believe it is the only way for the race to learn initiative, self-respect, faith and courage. Thousands of white people like that ideal. They have given their moral support, and small contributions. The largest gifts received in the fifteen years were five thousand dollars from one source, and three thousand, five hundred dollars from another. We have received several gifts of one thousand dollars. These larger gifts would amount to about fifteen thousand dollars. In other words, during the fifteen years, we (Continued on page 6) Office: 920 U St., N.W. Prominent Politicians Visit City Politicians who visited the city last week included Ernest G.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAW TO BE TESTED The constitutionality of the compulsory education law for the District of Columbia has been questioned by Attorneys James A. Cobb and George E. C. Hayes in the case of Mrs. Louise Barker, of 709 Twenty-fourth Street Northwest, who was charged with its violation because of the failure of her 12-year-old son to attend school regularly. Attorneys Cobb and Hayes filed a demurrier in the juvenile court, in which they contended that due process of law is denied in that no provision is made in the law for the incorrigibility of the child. They claimed that the Congress conferred the right to determine what is a misdemeanor under the law upon the Board of Education, and that the board delegated this authority to the school attendance officer. This the board had no right to do, they say. The demurrier was overruled by Judge Katherine Sellers last Monday and they noted an appeal to the Court of Appeals. Judge Sellers herself is anxious to have the higher court to pass upon the validity of the law, as there are hundreds of cases pending for violation of the compulsory education law. Sixth Quinquennial Convention The Sixth Quinquennial Convention will meet in Washington, May 4th to 14th, at Washington Auditorium, corner of New York Avenue and 19th Street. The Marchioness of Aberdeen, is president of the International Council of Women and Miss Philip North Moore is president of The National Council of Women of the U.S.A. The International Council was formed in Washington in 1888 for the purpose of promoting unity and mutual understanding between all associations of women working for the common good of humanity. It is made up of National Councils of the countries with a membership of thirty-six million women. The National Council of the United States includes forty-two National Organizations, with a membership of twelve million women. Each country has ten delegates and ten alternates. The special delegates at the Norway meeting in 1920 were not given delegates' places at this meeting. Since Mrs. Mary B. Talbert was delegate and Dr. Mary Waring was alternate to Norway, our National Association will not have delegate places. At the National meeting in Chicago last August, $500 was contributed toward the expenses of the Quinquennial which entitles us to ten seats. The president, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune will be one and will distribute these tickets. Special seats will be assigned to all individuals as partons who give $100. Miss Hallie Q. Brown has been a life patron of the Quinquennial. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents WILL BLACK LIST PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PAY BILLS The Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia, composed of a large number of the physicians practicing here, at its last meeting, adopted a measure to record the names of all patients who have failed to pay for medical service and have given no satisfactory reason for their delinquency. The records of the delinquent patients will be filed at a central bureau which will be easily accessible to all physicians. A physician when called upon to treat a patient, if he has any doubts about his standing, can refer to this bureau and ascertain whether or not this patient's name is recorded among the delinquents. If his name is found there, the patient will have to make a satisfactory adjustment with the previous attending physician before further treatment is rendered by the new attendant. This new system to force patients to pay their bills, comes about three months after the Medico-Chirurgical Society decided to increase the rates. These new rates amounted to about 33 1-3 per cent increase. Home calls $3.00 for day and $5.00 for night. A minimum charge of $2.00 will be made. Several physicians however refused to abide by the decision of the society to raise their rates, and have continued to charge their patients at the old rate. The new plan to decrease the number of delinquent payers is said to be in vogue in several other cities. The increasing number of doctors here it is said has made the two above changes imperative. LOCAL VISITORS. Mr. Charles E. Mitchell of Charleston, W. Va., was a business visitor in the city this week. Mr. Mitchell is connected with the Federal Loan and Finance Corporation. Messrs. Jas, T.

The James Reese Europe Post No. 5, at its last regular meeting Tuesday, April 14, voted unanimously its support of the Veterans' Defense League. The Post's share of the expenses incident to the operations of this League, will be forthcoming at an early date. The Post also expressed unanimous approval of the Legion's five million dollar campaign. From the expressions of the members present, it was indicated that the Post would easily go over the top in raising its quota of the amount allotted to the D. C. Department of the American Legion. Four new members were mustered into the Post. On Easter Monday night the Post held its annual masquerade ball at the Lenox Club. The affair easily elapsed all previous social functions of the Post. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Scott's Society Orchestra under the personal direction of Mr. Ross. The James E. Walker Post was represented by its Commander, Captain Sylvester H.

BROWN, Gen'l Mgr. --- Send $1.00 Today The Tribune Sport Review Howard University Track Meet on May 2nd Looms as a Spring Classic PAGE FOUR The Howard U Dehart Hubbard and Ned Gourdin to Show Their Wares Coach Watson of Howard University, is meeting with great success in the promotion of the National Open Championship Track and Field Meet to be held at Howard University, May 2, 1925. Much interest has been aroused throughout the New England States and the Middle West. Not only will Ned Gourdin, former Harvard star, be on hand from Boston, but a team of six men will represent the "Bean Town" in the hope that they will carry back a number of honors in both track and field events. Springfield, Massachusetts, is sending eight men; Michigan is sending LOUIS L. WATSON Coach be champion jumper, DeHart Hubbard; Chicago is sending Edgar J. Pitts, the much-heralded half-miler who will not only run in this event, but the mile and two-mile events as well. Efforts are being made to interest young Washington, the Chicago "flash" to exhibit his wares against the best of the East. Watts of Baltimore, has applied for entry blanks and expects to figure in the high jump and sprints. The Baltimore Afro-American is attempting to interest a number of athletes in and about the Monumental City. Any athlete who has maintained regular amateur standing may secure particulars for entering the meet by communicating with L. L. Watson, Director of Physical Education at Howard University, Washington, D.C. Local fans will be interested in the spirited races between the team from Fort Myer and the team from Washington Barracks. These "boys" have proven their worth in U. S. Army circles and must be classed among the best in the country at their several events. The scholastic division of the meet will be larger and better than ever before. Armstrong and Dunbar athletes took daily work-outs on the Howard cinder path during the Easter holidays. These boys are after the scholastic honors. Of the large number of scholastic entries, the greatest contenders for team point honors and day trophies will be Dunbar High, Armstrong High, Shaw Junior High, all local teams; Douglass High, of Baltimore; Bowie Normal, of Bowle, Md., and Cheyney High, of Cheyney, Pa. All entries should be in to the office of the Director not later than Monday, April 27th. HURBARD LOSES FIRST BROAD- JUMP BATTLE After winning the 100-yard dash in the first time of 9 4-5 seconds, defeating such stars as Hill of Pennsylvania and Wittman of Michigan, Dehart Hubbard, the Michigan star was unable to do his best in the broad-jump and for the first time in his college career was defeated in this event, Saturday, at the Ohio State Relays. Dowding of Georgetown turned the trick by a quarter of an inch margin. The winning distance was only 23 feet, 2 inches. A POPULAR JOCKEY Joe G. Hudgins continues to ride in g. gm.

Bernard Young, Jr.) Hampton, Va., April—Edward Hargrove, the Seasiders' pitching ace, in his season's collegiate baseball debut on Armstrong Field was a complete success. At a late hour the only persons heard to complain were the St. Paul "Tigers," who were presented with an unbecoming coat of white-wash, when the blushing debutant limited them to four hits and no runs in a thrilling pitching duel with Wallace, ace of the visitors. The final count was 4 runs for Hampton and not any for St. Paul. Wallace fanned 11 Hampton players while Hargrove caused 6 to whiff. The former allowed 7 hits and the latter limited the losers to 4.

HOWARD THEATRE OPENS THEAT The Howard Theatre, which has been closed since March 14, reopened last’ Monday night with Irvin ©, Mil- ler’s “Broadway Rastus” ag the at- traction. The union stage crew and ‘music- ians, who went on a strike, were not put back to work, although Manager George H. Tucker stated that he hoped to settle all differences with ‘the union within the next few days. Nathan W. Machat, head of the cor- poration which was leasing and ‘oper- atingthe Howard Theatre when it closed, is said to be out of the cor- poration which is now operating the theatre. He and Joseph Fine, a big stockholder in the old corporation, ad- justed their differences and the re- ceivers appointed by the court uport the petition of Mr. Fine have been dis- missed, Joe Clark's “Joy Makers” in “A Night In a Cabaret” will be ‘the of- fering at-the Howard next week. “BROADWAY RASTUS” Irvin Miller's “Broadway Rastus” was the attraction at the re-opening of the Howard Theatre this week, The cast is headed by Irvin C, Miller, Galle de Gaston and Blanche Thompson. The chorus is a fast working one and flawless in its execution of the many turns and twists. The show is Mr. Miller's first visit here since he brought “Liza” to the Howard, However, “Broadway Ras- tus” is far from being the show that “Lizn” was. Mr. Miller has some very good material in his cast, but the show being of the hodge podge type, does not give the necessary play for ‘them to bring out their talent, One thing however, that made a hit with Mme.

Lane, Jr., manager of tlie Lincoln Theater, ‘presented the Lin- coln Players last Friday and Satur- day nights in a one-act playlet, “See- ing Is Believing,” by Jack L. Cooper. The cast of characters was as iollows: Detective Cassidy-.---Jack L. Cooper Lil’ Minorr, An Underworld Figure Isabelle Webster Detective Walton__---Eddie Saunders District Attorney Hubert Holmes - Jimmie Cobb Mrs. Hubert Holmes-.--_-Anita Bush The plot centers around the District Attorney and Detective Cassidy, who jare ‘strong believers in circumstantial evidence. A man had been killed and Lil’ Minorr's husband was found on the scene in a doped stupor with the ‘gun in his hand. Lil’ calls at the dis- ‘trict attorney's office and convinces ‘Cassidy that her husband is not guilty. Cassidy and Lil’ then frame the dis- ‘trict attorney. Lil’ approaches him with a plea for her husband, but he rebuffs her; then she throws hersel into his arms as his wife enters, It all ends well when Lil’ confesses that it was but a ruse to disprove his theory. While the playlet was in no wise perfect, it was one of the most enter- taining dramatic skits yet offered by the Lincoln Players, White Brothers’ orchestra closed the bill, They played five numbers in- cluding a special arrangement of “Honest and True,” “When My Sugar Walks. Down the Street,” “Indian Nights,” and “My Best Girl.” They were forced to play an encore num- ber also. The show opened with the Dixie Kid act of trained dogs, Miss Inez Ray danced. T. Miner of the De Luxe cabaret, whom Mr. Lane an- nounced as formerly of “Liza,” sang “All Alone” in‘tenor, but was’ razzed by the audience, Nevertheless, he was given an encore, The picture was Chaties Ray in “Dernamite Smith.” EDMONIA HENDERSON—She chirps ithe blues on Paramount Records.

President Coolidge has set out to revolutionize America with his theory of economy. Washingtonians—being kept in a disquieting fear as to the prolongation of their employment—see it and, to a more or less degree, feel it more than do citizens of the States because the Federal Government is the main source of employment here. Even so, there is not so much to it after all, constructively—more inconvenience perhaps than anything else. The inconvenience lies in being dismissed from one Federal department and waiting appointment in another. Last month 2,318 Government clerks were told that their services were no longer required; but more than half of them found there was a mistake, for 1,316 secured employment in other bureaus—1,277 went to the War Department and Veteran's Bureau—leaving a net temporary reduction of 1.002. We doubt whether the Administration can tell us just what per cent of these 1,002 discharged employees show progress in the direction of Mr. Coolidge's peace-time economy and what per cent simply represents the gradual deflation of Government business from a war-time basis, which has been in process since 1919. Civil-service figures are rather hard to analyze; yet, in view of the fact that more than half of the discharged find employment in other departments of the Government, we are inclined to believe that gradual deflation is the more influential. There were 554,986 Government employees in the Federal service on June 30, 1924, according to official report; but only 544,671, December 31, 1923. These figures show an increase in this period of 10,315 employees; an average monthly increase of 1.719, as compared with the 1,002 reduction of March. In 1916, the Government employees numbered 438,000, which shows that we are still more than 100,000 beyond that pre-war mark. Coroner's Jury Holds Physician in $5,000 Bond (Continued from page 12) While Dr. Lofton was there Thursday, Dr. Blue came in; the mother testified, and when she informed him that she was going to send Helen to the hospital, he said it was not necessary. When she insisted, Mrs. Houston stated, Dr. Blue became angry, whirled around, took his grip off the table and told her to go ahead, and send her to the hospital. Dr. Dorothy E. Bowling, an interne at Freedmen's Hospital, testified as to the hospital examination of Helen by Dr. Ross, the visiting physician. She said that her condition was critical when she was brought to the hospital, her temperature was about 100, her pulse about 148 and her respiration about 56. The girl, she said, complained of severe pains. A tenderness in the abdomen was found. PAGE SIX 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, 179.

Dr. Albert H.

Dr. Lofton testified that when he examined the girl on April 12, his diagnosis was pregnancy. When he was again called on April 16, he said he advised immediate hospitalization and called a taxicab for Helen to go to the hospital. Dr. Edwin J. Watson, of 1645 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, testified as to his attending Helen on February 1 and again on March 9, at which times he said, her mother directed his attention to the girl's condition of irregularity. Mrs. Sallie Ingram, the sister who accompanied Helen on her visit to Dr. Blue on March 28, corroborated the testimony that the girl had drawn $30 from the bank and paid Dr. Blue. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1925 By Samuel M. Wing, Chef, Hotel Roosevelt (Continued from last week) The Cultivation and Cooking of the Potato The common things of everyday life are often the most precious and often the most despised. Everything grows interesting in proportion to what we know about it. We now look on a cultivated plant, not as a separate act of The common things of everyday life are often the most precious and often the most despised. Everything grows interesting in proportion to what we know about it. We now look on a cultivated plant, not as a separate act of creation, but as a plant which ages ago began its existence in a simpler form, and left to itself, would probably return to its primitive type. It is now close on 310 years since the potato was introduced into England. The potato plant was first introduced by the Jesuit Missionaries into Spain and into Ireland by Sir Walter Raleigh, who is also credited with introducing into England another plant weed-tobacco. I am disposed to think we are much indebted to Europe for many of our civilized arts, new plants, new fruits and herbs, and new industries. They united with their religion the observation and shrewdness of a commercial traveller. In Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France, the potato was not generally cultivated until the beginning of the last century, and little more than a hundred years ago the poor of Naples preferred starvation to eating potatoes. The potato, like all good things, and all good men, has had its day of trial and persecution. Mons. Tiscot published a book to show that since the introduction of potatoes, idiocy had increased; naother that it was the cause of palsy and leprosy. The Puritan preachers denounced it, not for its so revealed disease-producing tendencies, but from higher consideration. It was mentioned in the Bible, and was therefore an unscriptural food, and those who ate it, or cultivated it, endangered their salvation. Just imagine the good old times when a man's salvation depended upon eating a potato! I object to their being made the staple food of an agricultural laborer, because by themselves they are incapable of supplying the conditions of a food. Reciepe for Potatoes a la Polanaise for Private Family Wash and peel two pounds of medium-sized potatoes. Cook them either by steaming or else boiling them in salted water. When done, put them in a vegetable dish and keep hot. Fry about a handful of bread crumbs in two ounces of butter; stir the crumbs with a wooden spoon until they acquire a golden color. Then pour over the potatoes and serve. (Continued next week) Miss Burroughs Tells of School's Ownership (Continued from page one.) have received less than thirty thousand dollars from white friends—but we have received more than a million dollars worth of cooperation, and expressions of appreciation from them. "The Training School will reap, from that group, substantial financial results from these years of cultivation of understanding, interest and appreciation, but we purpose to work out our ideal—'Self Help.' It is the foundation on which people who believe in helping the Negro when he helps himself will be glad to build. "I want it clearly understood that I shall labor to help the National Convention do a worth while piece of educational work, and I shall labor just as hard to preserve the life of an institution that has been built by state conventions, district organizations, individual churches, pastors, clubs, and that grand army of individuals—known as the public—that has listened and responded to my appeals. "I shall ever be true to my trust. I here and now dedicate anew myself to the task of building the institution for Negro girls outside of the South, with the hope that it shall be a lighthouse and a Gibraltar." She said that Helen remained with Dr. Blue in his private office for about an half hour, but did not describe the treatment when she came out. The autopsy, it was testified, showed that the girl had recently had an abortion followed by an infection. Death was due to this infection causing septic matter to be taken into the blood and causing peritonitis. Dr. Blue has retained Attorneys William E. Leahy and Augustus W. Gray to represent him. Something of Interest Dean Miller and the Younger Generation. One Man and Two Girls. Love—A Man-size Problem. Dean Kelly Miller says that revolt is ever the distinguished find the contention no longer maintained save by professors of the orthodox and banal. The true masculine connoisseur of pleasure knows, from long experience, that the most amusing party ever devised by the angels on high is the one which is made up of one man and two girls. He knows, further, that the amusement qualities of such a party are not particularly much interfered with one way or the other whether the attendants like one another or not. In fact, the less they like one another the more likely is the party to be to the taste of the man—assuming him, of course, to be a member of what may be called "cultured society." The twosome generally repeats itself. One such party is as much like another as the color stains on a painter's waist-coat. The man who can still find gratification of the spirit in sitting around with a girl, holding her hand under the table, gazing lovingly at her and whispering sweet emptinesses to her ear is either a recent college graduate, who hence knows nothing, or a vain old idiot of a bachelor making a gallant and futile stab at youth and romance. The man of any intelligence who spends an evening at a table with a fair creature may, true enough, enjoy the first half hour; but he is a liar who would seriously maintain that, thereafter, the party does not descend to the time-worn stencils and rubber-stamps. Recall, if you will, that it is the amusement-power of such parties of which we are writing—nothing more. And with this in mind, consider the relative pleasure to be derived from the triangular party—the one composed of one man and two girls. Here is humor in its fullest promise! Where, in the case of one man and one girl, both the man and the girl feel a certain amount of reserve, and conduct themselves accordingly; this reserve, as you know, promptly disappears when an extra girl is on the scene, and to the establishment of the necessary gala note. What one girl will talk about with a man is not worth listening to, save perhaps by young boys and adult mush-heads. But what two girls will talk about with a man is worthy the attention of the servant. No man who has experienced the joys of the mixed three-some will for a moment debate its tremendously superior humorous horsepower. The conversation at such an affair has life, salt, gayety, wit, searching truth and the charm which lies ever in the heart of frankness. The conversation at the party made up of a fellow and a girl is usually fit only for the ears of imbeciles, already full-blown or potential. A love life, which endures to the end is the only healthy and happy one. It is the only one which makes a woman happy; and woman's radiant happiness is the only solid basis of man's. In that alone, woman's desire to make man happy is happily fulfilled. Many wives are askel, by implication, to devote their lives to making their husbands happy. Wives, who feel that they are asked to sacrifice their own happiness to their husbands, are wives of men for whom happiness is impossible. The husband should accept no sacrifice of his wife. If he does so, he is accepting only, and not giving. She is supporting him in love and receiving no support from him. No true sport accepts a one-way deal like that. Many women will defend a fifty-fifty arrangement. No real man expects a hundred to nothing shot. The love, which endures to the end, is the privilege of the husband to develop. From the cares and anxieties of business or professional life, a man may wish relaxation in the home. But he would not consider it exactly appropriate for his wife to sprawl all over his office or consulting room for her relaxation. The relaxation has to come for both of them in a common meeting-place—not his office nor hers. If he would not think his office an appropriate place for her in her dressing gown—say from seven to ten in the evening—any more than himself, similarly attired, he surely can not feel reasonable about insisting on slippers and smoking jacket every night. Suppose he had to stay in the office and to put the children to sleep there and listen to her read snatches of the evening newspaper—it is a man-size problem, usually ducked by men. On the solution of it depends the possible existence of a love which endures to the end.

PARKER A MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams MRS. RUTH LEE McABEET'S RECITAL Mrs. Ruth Lee McAbee, soprano of Baltimore, entertained a representative audience under the auspices of The Mother-Child Center at the Metropolitan Baptist Church on R Street, Northwest, Wednesday evening, April 15th, 1925. Her charming personality and voice seemed to delight the audience and she appeared to be in an unusually happy mood. What was almost as refreshing as her song selections was her absolute freedom from mannerisms of any kind and her wholesome womanly sincerity. For a time, at least, there seemed a lack of warmth and sympathy in the singer's selections, but following each outburst of applause outbalanced the strength of individual opinion. With a voice clear and vibrant, now bursting forth in dramatic power, now softened she rose at times to heights of musical estasy, charming her hearers to rapturous applause. In the middle register her tones are organlike, rich and round while her upper head voice rings clear as a bell in liquid legato. Mrs. McAbee opened her program with d'Hardelot's "The Dawn; Stange's "Damon" and Spross's "Minor and Major." Her next group included "Widmung" (Dedication), and "Volkiedchen" (Love Thoughts) by Schumann; also "Torna a Surriento" by Curtis. We arrived just in time to hear her in Burleigh's two spirituals, "Oh, Peter, Go Ring Dem Bells" and "Sinner Please Doan Let Dis Harves' Pass" which were interpreted with due religious fervor. "Hahn's "Si mes Vers' avaient des ailes" and Denza's "Si tu m'aimais" were next presented and reached nearest the climax of perfection of all the selections with the one exception of REPORT OF CONDITION PRUDENTIAL BANK PRUDENTIAL BANK At Washington, in the District of Columbia, April 6, 1925.

The numbers by La Forge, "I came with a song" and "Song of the Open" closed the program with good feeling and effect, the audience demanding another encore. Mr. Albert Burgess, assisting violinist, presented two selections of merit in De Beriot's "7th Concerto (First Movement)" and "Ave Maria" by Schubert-Wilhelmj. A pure elegance of melody, sweet, delicate with most notable phrasing characterized the violin. There is a rich delibereal wealth of tone and real virtuosity in this performer that cannot be denied. He played "The Rosary" in response to sweeping applause. Miss Mary Europe was a most efficient accompanist. The Mother-Child Center under whose auspices the recital was given is composed of citizens who stand high in influence and the realm of social service and their cause is deserving of every effort made to aid the good work so nobly begun.

RADIO (Cash Prize Radio Article) By Harry Parker Radio has not only taken its place with the telephone and telegraph as a medium of communication in the business world, but more than that, radio proves to be a great means of enjoyment and entertainment. There are millions of radio receiving sets in this country—from the simple crystal set to the multiple tube sets. The farmer, as well as the city dweller, enjoys the same concerts, learns at the same fountain of knowledge. Radio is a religious force as well as being a sporting medium. Radio thrills with the eloquence of an internationally known orator; it tress signal; it is unselfish—it flashes through the air as speedily as does light, eager to reach the ears of all who would listen, rich and poor, youth and age. Radio is entertainment that is free to all who will provide themselves with receivers, which reach into the air and take it. That radio may be enjoyed by your family as well as yourself, an amplifier should be provided, then you The Rules: All lines for this limerick must reach us not later than May 11, 1925.

A WORD TO THE BOYS In the past you have shared the achievements of the Boy Scout work of our city and helped to bear its responsibilities. It is good to be able to turn to you again, confident that your sympathetic interest and support is still held by the scout movement. During 1924 many new boys have joined the Boy Scout organization gaining a clearer sight into the meaning of life, and a more definite appreciation of their place in, and duty toward society. Thousands annually on to more responsible places in our community life, carrying with them a decidedly wholesome, healthy and ennobled point of view. Boys, we are publishing here what has aptly been called "the heart of scouting." Read all of it, and perhaps you will decide to enlist in this movement. Also request your guardian, Sunday School superintendent, or parent to read it. The Business of Scouting is to assist in the development of the best type of American boyhood through normal activity intelligently THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNESATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1925 PAGE directed. It trains boys to do things for themselves, their neighbors, their community and their country. It teaches patriotism, courage, and self-reliance by emphasizing character development, citizenship training, and physical fitness. It is the open door to health, happiness and future usefulness to hundreds of thousands of American boys. Democratic Spirit— Scouting is non-sectarian—it is truly American—for everybody's boy—without distinction of rank, race, or creed. In Washington there are troops in fifty-nine Protestant churches, fifteen Roman Catholic churches, two Hebrew institutions, forty-three schools, settlements, playgrounds and clubs. Out of Doors— Through camping, hiking, woodcraft, and nature study, boys discover the beauty of simple outdoor living, find a host of new friends among birds, flowers, and trees, and become intimate with the beauty and mystery of woods and open country, sunrise, sunset, and stars. Love of Beauty— Teen age boys are highly sensitive to beauty. Scout music, folklore, and pageantry afford opportunities for expression, transforming adolescent sentimentality into a healthy appreciation of the beautiful. When the yearning for beauty is crushed, the soul begins to die. Scouting keeps that yearning vitally alive by ministering to it. Scouting Gives Practical Training in first aid, personal hygiene, woodcraft, life-saving, camping, athletics, radio, scoutcraft, in fact, sixty-two subjects through which unconsciously a boy absorbs discipline, fairness, reliability, co-operation, self-control, and thoughtfulness. He learns to think and act quickly, intelligently, and effectively and to look after himself and others. Citizenship Scouting is 1 ot military in thought, form or spirit. It does, however, instill honor, obedience, and love of country. Scouts are expected to be active in all civic undertakings; which calls forth initiative, resourcefulness, and the individual effort of citizens in-the-making. Service A Scout learns team play, to be a "good sport." The Daily Good Turn is the spinal column of the Scout program. Every Scout is taught to put his increased knowledge to some helpful use. Scouting opens the way to accomplishment and it is through accomplishment that men become strong. Health- Health represents another of boyhood's rights. Vigor of body means vigor of mind. A chance to develop a sound body, mind and spirit is the right of every boy. Scouting challenges the winning of health by a carefully balanced program of instruction and play. Scouts are unafraid because their training prepares them for everyday life and its emergencies. BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA For several weeks we are going to devote part of our time in the interest of the Boy Scout movement. In the particular of the Scouts being of special value to the poor boys of a city, we feel that we are performing a duty to these boys by trying to arouse their interest in the work of the Boy Scouts. We are going to publish, from week to week, the rules and requirements as they appear in "The Official Handbook for Boys" which is published by the Boy Scouts of America. If a lad who is unable to pay forty cents for this book, will follow these articles appearing on this page, he will get the information that he will find necessary to have if he desires to become a Scout. Cut these articles out and paste them in some convenient place for future reference. Persons interested in Boy Scout work can receive information by making an appointment with Hilliard B. Halbrook, phone Main 2811. The first article follows; THE THREE CLASSES OF SCOUTS There are three classes of scouts among the Boy Scouts of America: the tenderfoot, second class scout, and first class scout. Before a boy can be recognized as a tenderfoot he must pass the prescribed tests. A tenderfoot on meeting certain requirements may become a second class scout, and a second class scout upon meeting another set of requirements may become a first class scout. The first scout may then qualify for the various merit badges which are offered for profi- 2. c circity in secuting. The requirements of the tenderfoot are as follows: Tenderfoot To become a scout a boy must be at least twelve years of age. Upon demonstrating to the satisfaction of the scoutmaster his ability to repeat the Scout Oath and Law in full and his thorough knowledge of their meaning, and upon passing the following tests, the boy formally subscribes to the oath and law and is registered as a tenderfoot scout, and is then entitled to wear the tenderfoot badge and the official scout uniform. 1. Know the Scout Laws, motto, sign, salute, and significance of the badge. 2. Know the composition and history of The Flag of the United States of America and the customary forms of respect due to it. 3. Tie the following knots: square or reef, sheet-bend, bow-line, fisherman's knot, sheepshank, slip, clove hitch, timber hitch and two half hitches. The Scout Oath and Law will be published next week.

THE MARTYRDOM OF CRISPUS ATTUCKS The First Martyr to Independence of U. S. A. (By Lillian Lewis Feurtado) (Nat'l Equal Rights League Service) In 1750 when the town of Framingham, twenty miles from Boston, was dotted with small plantations; when American settlers held slaves in Massachusetts, a commotion was raised one day late in September upon the discovery that one of the slaves of Deacon Brown had asserted his manhood and his liberty loving rights and had deserted his master. They styled this right to freedom a crime, and advertised the slave as having "ran away." Now nobody who has a good mental picture of Crispus Attucks will accuse him of "running away" from anything or anybody. He was, in the first place, an intelligent young man, about twenty-seven years of age. He had good business ability and he drove many good bargains in cattle for his master, who left much of this to the judgment of Crispus. In the second place, Attucks believed in liberty, so he made up his mind to take his, without his master's leave. Clad in a light beaver skin coat, brown fustian jacket, new buck-skin breeches, blue yarn stockings and checked woolen shirt—a tall, heavy-set fellow, with knock-knees—turned his back upon the Deacon's plantation and its cattle, and the old cellar in which he and his relations lived, and followed where his fancy led. He was a mulatto in complexion; he stood six feet, two inches in height; his hair was short and curly and he was of huge bodily proportions, and brave to recklessness. This was Crispus Attucks, a descendant of John Attucks, an Indian who was conspicuous in the events of 1676, whose family naturally intermarried with Colored people who were slaves. In "The History of Framingham," by J. H. Temple, the author gives in detail, facts about the Boston Massacre (which happened twenty miles from that town) and he gives as his reason for doing so, that "the principal character in the bloody affair was a Framingham man." Crispus Attucks was born in Framingham and Framingham in its authentic history proudly claims him as a Framingham man.
